Aunt Zhao's happy life

Jia Zheng unbuttoned Rui'er's cloak and said, "The house is really boring, so I just wanted to come and sit down. Aunt Zhao is not willing to come!"

Zhan Guang smiled and said, "Could it be that she is still angry with me?"

Aunt Zhao said: "You've spoiled all good men!"

When we entered the house, it was as warm as spring. Jia Zhengyin asked, "What kind of charcoal is this? It's so good!" Zhan Guang said, "It's for the palace secretary. I got some by chance, and I've been reluctant to use it. Today I just took it out and tried it, but you came here, which shows that you are born with good fortune!"

Rui Er pointed to a steaming plate of small dishes on the table and asked: "Is this your appetizer?" Zhan Guang smiled and said: "This is fried chicken with winter bamboo shoots made by our new chef from Suzhou. I still have a big basket of fresh winter bamboo shoots here, and I just want to honor you, why don't you take some with you?"

Rui'er said: "Master Zheng has no strength to restrain a chicken, he will be tired after walking, and it is absolutely impossible to carry things."

Zhan Guang said with a smile: "It's not difficult, I just ask the boys to send it."

That night, when Jia Zheng and Rui'er returned to Rongguo Mansion, it was already very late, and they couldn't help telling the kitchen to turn on a small stove, and made a plate of fried chicken with winter bamboo shoots, and went to sleep until they were warm. The next day It's gossip to honor Jia Mu again and distribute it to everyone.

Rui'er was in a good mood when going out to play this time. After a few days, Jia Zheng was asked to take him to relax. Rui'er didn't want to go to Zhan Guang's house anymore, so Jia Zheng had to ride a horse and take Rui'er to run wildly in the wind and snow. , the two were talking and laughing, yelling, endlessly romantic, and they didn't get home until it was almost closing time.

On a chilly day, Mrs. Wang's impoverished relative, Mrs. Liu, grandma Liu, came to her house to fight the autumn wind. Naturally, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng did not treat her badly.Let Jia Zheng know about this, and he told Aunt Zhao casually. Aunt Zhao said: "Hey, what's more, my wife has such status and family background. Even someone like me has a brother and nephew. I can't wait to see you." I’ll give up after eating it raw! Then again, no one is born rich, and I myself was born as a poor child, so if I help a little bit, it should be considered a good deed.”

But it is said that Zhao Guoji and Qian Huai's father and son are typical people who listen to whoever takes the money. They are obviously Aunt Zhao's elder brother and nephew. clean up.Every day when Jia Huan went to school, Zhao Guoji and his son walked around Baoyu. Jia Huan's hands were swollen from cold, and he coughed continuously, but no one cared.What's more, after school, because they were busy flattering Baoyu, the two actually left Jia Huan aside, and Jia Huan had to go home by himself.

You can turn a blind eye to other things, but Jia Huan has been ignored to such an extent that Aunt Zhao is so angry that her heart hurts.When she met her brother and nephew again, she pointed her nose and scolded: "You two are heartless and ruthless! If I didn't think of brother and sister love, I always think of you, and I can't bear to see you suffer, you still don't know that you are here Which corner is eating cold steamed buns! Now my son is trampled under his feet! Don't say I am chilling, and Master Zheng won't obey if he knows it!"

Zhao Guoji bowed and said: "My good sister, you are used to living a good life, how do you know the difficulties of our subordinates! My wife gave me money and told me to look at Second Master Dianbao by the way. You think, he is my wife's child. Can I Accidentally serving? Besides, with the support of my wife, am I afraid that I will not have a good life?"

Rui'er pushed her brother straight away: "Go away! I don't need you! Huan'er doesn't have such an uncle!"

Jia Huan was recuperating at home, and Rui'er did not call her brother for help anymore, but her sister-in-law, who had never shown her face, appeared, beautiful and rosy, and when she saw Rui'er, she was as affectionate as her own mother: "Ouch!" My good sister! I just said what kind of person can be liked by Mr. Zheng. It turns out that such a symbolic figure, I just met today! I always said that I want to see you, your brother said Rongguo Mansion? Anyone can enter? I said I would pick you up to stay for a few days, but your brother said that there was no place for you to stay in our cold kiln and broken tiles, so he held back. Although my sister-in-law saw you for the first time You are not unfamiliar at all, you look like my own sister!"

Rui'er smiled coldly: "Sister-in-law is here to intercede for my brother, right?"

The woman smiled and pulled Ruier's hand: "You don't know, how much I have scolded your brother these days, I said, how can I have a good life without your sister? Do you have a conscience? You give She went on her knees! Your brother said, I want to kneel, and I want her to be willing to see me! Your brother is not a bad-hearted person, but he can’t speak. Alright, just ignore Huan'er, damn it!"

Rui'er just sat down and snuggled up to the stove, but ignored her, the woman said again: "If you don't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, even if you hate your brother, you won't show me any face, at least you should look at your nephew's face." For the sake of understanding, this is the flesh and blood of your Zhao family!"

Rui'er waved her hand and said: "You go back, we will talk about it after Huan'er recovers from illness."

The woman smiled and said, "That's it. How can a brother and sister turn their faces and deny others? I'll tell you that you are not such a person! Then I'll go back and announce the good news to your brother and nephew!" Hand stove and incense: "You don't care about this, I'll take it back!" He went straight away.Rui'er was stunned speechless, and it took a long time before she let out a long sigh...

The weather was cold, and Mother Jia's activities became less and less, and she was counting on everyone to go to Rongqing Hall to talk with her every day.Although Rui'er knew that she and her son were not welcome, she often went to Jia's mother to show her filial piety.

On this day, Mother Jia and Sister Feng were chatting lively, Ruier held the child in her arms and kept silent, with a humble smile on her face.At this time Mrs. Wang came, and Ruier hurriedly put Jia Huan on the ground, went to hang the curtain on the copper hook, and made tea for Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said, "I'm a little hungry now, and I can't bear the tea." .”

Rui'er went back to her place, and Jia Huan had already run away, laughing with a group of children.At first glance, Tanchun was in high spirits, looking forward to brilliance, dazzling in the crowd, Rui'er felt that this was her glory, and a faint joy appeared on her face.

Jia Huan saw many melons and fruits in Rongqingtang that he couldn't see in his own house. He was still a child, he could eat as much as he could, and he was neither naughty nor troublesome. He would sweat while eating and playing.Jia Mu laughed and said, "This child seems to have never seen the world. Everything is good and he likes to eat everything. I like edible things!"

When a group of female relatives were chatting and laughing, Jia Zheng also joined in the fun. Seeing Jia Huan eating cakes on the small table with his hands busy, he said with a smile: "Little fool, save some for grandma, it's not for you." Yeah, look at you empty the plate!" He picked up Jia Huan and kissed and kissed him, then held him high, hugged him in circles, and pierced Jia Huan's face with his beard, Jia Huan couldn't stop giggling When she came down, Mother Jia laughed too.

Jia Huan knew that his father loved him, so he let go a lot.Mrs. Wang couldn't say anything at this time, she let Jia Huan run in front of her, laughing, eating and making noise.

Jia's mansion got bad news in early spring: Aunt Xue's beloved son Xue Pan beat someone to death in order to snatch a girl named Xiangling.

Mrs. Wang looked for Jia Zheng with tears in her eyes, and Jia Zheng said angrily, "What kind of villain is this? You still expect to beg for mercy? Beat him to death!"

Mrs. Wang said: "My sister has only one son. What if he dies? She has no choice. If there is still a good son, even if he is killed, I have nothing to say."

When Jia's mother knew about it, she was speechless for a long time, because she said to Jia Zheng: "This matter must be done tightly, otherwise it will be a disaster!"

Jia Zheng was in a dilemma. He is an upright gentleman. If a relative like this commits a murder, he would go so far as to cover up and indulge him. Isn't this a waste of reading the sages?

Coincidentally, the person in charge of this case was Jia Yucun recommended by Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu's teacher.At the beginning, he also wanted to do business, and hated this kind of bullying bully the most, but when he learned that Xue Pan was the only son of the Xue family and Jia Zheng's in-law, he couldn't handle things impartially.Between justice and future, he gave up his principles and original aspirations, and sheltered Xue Pan.

When Jia Zheng learned about this, he had to accept Jia Yucun's favor, but he couldn't be happy either. Such a thing is really ashamed of the conscience of heaven and earth!

In order to avoid misfortune, and since there was no man to rely on in the family, Aunt Xue decided to go to the capital to join her sister, let her son Xue Pan take over the business, and she was free.Mrs. Wang wrote a letter to warmly welcome her, and Jia Zheng did not object, because this might restrain Xue Pan, Baochai also had a good environment to grow up, and Aunt Xue, a widow, would not have to worry about every day.

But Jia Zheng hated Xue Pan's bad behavior such as causing a life lawsuit. He personally wrote to Aunt Xue to warn Aunt Xue to strictly control her children and never do such absurd things again. Aunt Xue agreed one by one.

Soon, Aunt Xue brought her daughter Xue Baochai to Rongguo Mansion. When this Xue Baochai came, she was beautiful and beautiful, with icy muscles and bones, elegant and gentle. Soon to be unanimously praised and loved by the Manchu people.Originally, Daiyu, who was full of stars, met a strong enemy, and Baoyu was also distracted by this new sister, so Daiyu was inevitably sad and self-pitying.Tanchun is only very happy for the arrival of a new friend with outstanding talent and appearance, and he can't wait to study and play together every day.

Aunt Zhao had time to visit Aunt Xue. She hadn't seen her for many years. Aunt Xue had become a kind middle-aged woman.Seeing Aunt Zhao, she smiled and said, "Did you take some elixir of immortality? Why is it still the same as before? There is not a single wrinkle on your face!"
