Honglouchun

In the middle ear room, facing the window, there is a large kang, on which is covered with scarlet foreign cloaks, on the front there is a big red money python backrest, azurite money python lead pillows, and autumn-colored money python big strip mattresses.There is a pair of plum-blossom-style foreign lacquer small tables on both sides.

On the left side are Wen Wangding tripods, spoons and incense boxes, and on the right side are Ru kiln beauty goblets with seasonal flowers inserted, tea bowls, spit pots and other things.

There are four chairs in a row under the ground, all of which are covered with silver and red floral chairs, with four sets of footrests underneath.

There are also a pair of high tables on both sides of the chair, on which there are tea bowls and vases with flowers.

Jia Zheng's wife, Mrs. Wang, has a kind face and eyes, and is sitting on a chair facing east. Sitting next to her is her sister, Aunt Xue.

On the other side, sat Baoyu who was giggling, and several beautiful girls.

In the middle of the hall, Jia Qiang, dressed in blue and white, stood quietly, looking at everyone with clear eyes.

Originally, according to ancient etiquette, men and women cannot sit together at the age of seven.Even close relatives, fathers and brothers, can no longer freely enter the room of their daughters or sisters after they reach the age of ten.

Although the Jia family passed on martial arts to the family, this aspect is not so strict.

However, in any case, it is impossible to let the daughter of the family meet the 15 or [-]-year-old boy under normal circumstances.

However, Jia Qiang's situation is different, he is a "grass" generation...

Even for Jia Xichun, the youngest girl in the Jia family, Jia Qiang is not even a younger brother, but just a nephew.

In the original work of the Red Chamber, even those who are as overbearing as Xue Pan cannot enter the Grand View Garden.

After the Yuan concubine visited her relatives, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and other elderly people were not allowed to enter.

However, Jia Lan, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun and others can still enter.

Jia Qiang was closer than Jia Yun, and when Jia Yun entered, she had to avoid the Jia sisters and needed a nanny to guide the way.

Jia Qiang was in charge of the theater troupe in the garden, and he could go in and out of the Grand View Garden directly, without too many taboos, because he was the great great-great-grandson of Ningguo.

Because of this, Jia Qiang had the opportunity to watch most of the Jinling Twelve Beauties up close for the first time, and greeted them:

Lin Daiyu, the delicate and spiritual aunt, Xue Baochai, the dignified and white aunt, Jia Yingchun, the gentle and amiable second aunt, Jia Tanchun, the sassy and handsome third aunt, Jia Xichun, the cute fourth aunt, and the second aunt, who is as bright as a fairy concubine. Aunt Wang Xifeng...

It's like looking at a beautiful picture of the Red Mansion!

Chapter 19 Breaking

"Whee!"

"Giggle!"

"Ah……"

When Jia Qiang saluted Jia Xichun to dismiss her son and nephew, sweating slightly on her forehead, everyone couldn't help laughing.

The girls who were a little cautious when they saw this elder nephew were all relieved now.

No matter in ancient or modern times or in the future, great looks, clean eyes, warm voice and decent manners are all shortcuts to approach girls.

If the factor of seniority is added, it will be the same as pretending to be gay in later generations, and there will be no disadvantages!

After all, these girls don't know that there is a novel called "The Legend of Condor Heroes"...

"Poor man, please sit down."

Aunt Xue was obviously more comfortable with her sister than with Jia's mother. Knowing that Mrs. Wang said little, she invited Jia Qiang to sit down on her behalf.

After Jia Qiang bowed slightly to thank, she took a seat in the last seat on the east side.

Seeing his series of behavior after entering the door, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were slightly absent-minded.

Although the handsome appearance is pleasing to them, they don't pay much attention to it.

The cardamom years have passed, and they know better what is more important to men.

But Jia Qiang's calm and confident demeanor really surprised them.

Even Lin Xue and the girls of Jia's family, although they don't have the experience and insights of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, they all think that Jia Qiang is quite good.

It's nothing to be born well, and Baoyu's life is also good.

But compared with Jia Qiang who is quiet and calm, Baoyu is like a naughty boy who escapes frivolity.

Not only Baoyu, but even the Jia Lian, Jia Huan and others they met on weekdays were not as tolerant as Jia Qiang.

Sigh, the child's parents died early, and now they have moved out of Ningguo Mansion...

It is also sad to say that people with higher status tend to know less about what is going on around them.

For example, the Son of Heaven, most of what he knows is just what his courtiers want him to know.

It's the same in the Duke's mansion, even though the subordinates have already talked about it secretly, but no one dares to tell the nobles about those dirty things.

So Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue thought that Jia Qiang really moved out of Ningguo Mansion to set up her own family just because she was almost 16 years old.

After all, even ordinary concubine sons and even legitimate sons other than those who have inherited the title will move out when they grow up in the Duke's mansion, unless the parents force them to stay. For example, Mother Jia just wants to live with her youngest son.

But in any case, such qualifications, what a pity...

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue looked at each other, and both could see the regret in each other's eyes.

Although both of them are just housewives, as the housekeeper's daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, the people they have seen and experienced have surpassed most ordinary people in the world.

At least in terms of knowing people, have a certain vision.

Seeing Jia Qiang's bearing, and the fact that she was almost an adult, they knew that the previous plan to win people's hearts by relying on their status as elders and using small favors to win people's hearts would not work.

Is it possible for such a person to be Baoyu and Xue Pan's little boy and serve them?

Since it was impossible, Wang and Xue had nothing to say.

After asking a few simple questions, one of them gave the Four Treasures of the Vice-scholar and the No. [-] Scholar and the Little Silver Curtain, and told him to study hard in the future, so Baoyu gave them out.

On the Chaoshou corridor, Jia Baoyu apologized and explained: "Qiang'er, Madam and Auntie don't talk much on weekdays, why don't I take you to meet the old lady?"

Jia Qiang hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and declined politely: "It's better not to disturb the old lady's quietness, Second Uncle Bao, I'll take my leave first. When Second Uncle Bao has free time, he can sit in my courtyard. It's not good Wine, but there is still a cup of crude tea."

Looking at Jia Qiang, who was dressed in a moon-white shirt, with a faint sense of loneliness and elegance in her back, Baoyu wanted to cry.

Then he lowered his head to see the brilliance of the golden hundred butterfly robe with red arrow sleeves and red flowers, which made him feel ashamed.
