Old Lady Jia through the Red Mansions

After receiving the letters from Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, the old lady was very happy!She, she wished she could see that family of five the day after she received the letter.It's just a matter of counting the days on my fingers every day!

For this reason, Jia Lian also said that the old lady:

"Grandmother, you look just like your grandson was going to catch the exam. When you were in Jinling, you wanted to take the exam the next day, but you were afraid that you might miss something... you were very nervous, right?"

"Are you itchy? Even grandma dares to tease her."

"That's right! Grandson is the most filial, knowing that grandma is anxiously waiting, so he came here to make grandma happy..."

"You - go read your book, don't fail to be a Juren master next year!"

"How can I? Your grandson is amazing! Sir, if I hadn't been too young, I would have been the master of Juren long ago!"

"Blow it, just blow it! Don't fail the exam by then, it's embarrassing!"

"Grandmother can't underestimate her grandson..."

"Still talkative. You said that Moyu and Hongyu were only three years old when they left the capital, and now they are half-grown boys and girls, right? Although I often correspond with them, it's just that I haven't seen them for so many years, and I don't know the two children. Do you still remember me as an old woman?"

"That's for sure remembering grandma! Didn't my cousins ​​still cry when they left? Now my little cousins ​​are all children."

"You also know that your cousin is already a Tongsheng, and you don't even think about how old he is. Look at you again, you are so much older than Mo Yu, and you are just a scholar..."

Jia Lian was really embarrassed by what the old lady said, so he quickly changed the subject and said:

"Grandma, I have a little cousin, right?"

"Well, your little cousin, who is only over one year old, is named Daiyu. Although Min'er was in good health when she was born. According to Gao Yuan's family, your little cousin is very healthy and beautiful too?!"

After the old lady finished speaking, she thought again: Will Daiyu, who is healthy and pampered by her brothers and sisters, shed tears at every turn?

The old lady with a twitching mouth thought: I wonder if Baoyu, who is more than three years old, will have such a classic dialogue as in the original play when he meets Baoyu, who is more than one year old?

If Baoyu can still say the same thing at this time, then no matter whether he is that person or someone else, they will absolutely laugh and cry and think that he is talking nonsense!Who made a child who is actually more than three years old, but who is more than five years old in fiction, be able to say such classic talk about girls?

The old lady suddenly thought that Min'er seemed to have said that Hongyu and Moyu loved Daiyu very much.

If Baoyu really came so suddenly, he might be beaten up by Hongyu!Min'er said it, but Hongyu loved her sister Daiyu very much.She also learned boxing from her little best friend, and often clamored to be a heroine or something!For her younger sister, it was like protecting her eyeballs.

If he knew that someone was spying on his sister and said those things to his sister, what would he do!Who made her feel that her sister was weak and in need of protection?

The old lady still remembered that Zhu'er and Li Wan got married last year, and now they have moved out to live their little life.

Before Zhu'er got married, Mrs. Wang came to beg, crying and said that she wanted to participate in Zhu'er's marriage.The old lady thought: no matter what, Mrs. Wang is Zhu Er's biological mother.It makes no sense not to let her mother participate in the son's marriage, isn't it?What's more, Mrs. Wang begged, saying that she just wanted to see her son get married.

The old lady who has lived a stable life for many years really doesn't want to take care of family affairs.Let Zheng'er, Zhu'er and his son decide for themselves.

Later, after discussing with Zhu'er, Zheng'er agreed to Wang's participation in the wedding.I just don't know how they agreed.

I don't know how Wang told Zhu'er and the others, and then let their father and son agree.

So, on the morning of Zhu'er's wedding, Mrs. Wang came out in a bright red dress!

Seeing Mrs. Wang appear in front of everyone wearing that red body, not to mention blinding everyone's aluminum alloy eyes, it also made everyone stunned!

Fortunately, early in the morning, only the Wang family and Shi family came, no one else.Otherwise it would be a shame!

The old lady even had some nasty guesses: what Wang is wearing is not the wedding dress she wore when she got married before, right?

Her own son got married, but she, the groom's mother, came out in such a suit, what was she trying to do?

The old lady and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other, Mrs. Zhang was puzzled.The corner of the old lady's mouth twitched, and she whispered something to Yuanyang.

After a while, everyone saw the mandarin ducks go out.

If it wasn't for embarrassing her family, the old lady would be more than happy to watch.However, this excitement was caused by my family members to show others a joke, so the old lady was not happy about it.People are selfish, aren't they?

Feeling ashamed, not only the members of the Jia family, but also the two sister-in-laws of the Wang family gritted their teeth.As an aunt, she still likes Jia Zhu as a nephew.It is true that Mrs. Wang is the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, but this daughter-in-law is from the Wang family!

How can the aunt think about her son when she does this?What about the other daughters of the Wang family?If others see Mrs. Wang's aunt wearing such a bright red dress on the day of her son's wedding, do they want to compare the bride?or something else?

Of course, Wang's dress was not the wedding dress that the old lady guessed, but the bright red dress of the main wife.She dressed like this, but to dissuade Jia Zheng's flat wife.Ping's wife is just a concubine, and she is not qualified to wear bright red clothes.

In order to scare others off, she never thought that today was her son's marriage. As the child's mother, even if she wanted to dress festively, she didn't have to be so red from the inside out, right?

Just as she was sitting there nervously watching everyone's faces, she suddenly felt her thighs warm up, and when she looked up, she saw that the hot tea in her hand had just splashed on her body, and her clothes were already soaked. one slice.Feeling ashamed, Mrs. Wang couldn't help exclaiming:

"what--"

Why did she overturn the good tea she served before?And it was knocked over without her knowing it!The most important thing is that there is no one on her left and right, but there are two maids standing behind her.But the maid at the back didn't touch her, so how did the cup turn over?

Wang, who couldn't figure it out, didn't know why, and suddenly became flustered.

Now, she was startled, embarrassed, and even a little helpless.She was trying to get up, thinking that maybe someone else hadn't noticed what was happening to her.In the panic, she even forgot her exclamation just now.

Xi'er, who had been standing behind Wang Shi, walked down at this time, and said in Wang Shi's ear:

"Ma'am, will this servant take you back to change your clothes?"

A little flustered for a while, Wang felt ashamed and embarrassed.Hearing Xi'er's words, without thinking about it, he left with Xi'er's support.

From the time Wang entered the room complacently to the time he left the room, except for the exclamation when the tea was poured, there was no second sound...

The people in the room just looked at each other in blank dismay as they watched the lump of red leave in a hurry.Because, not only Mrs. Wang didn't know why the tea was spilled, but also the people in the room, it can be said that no one saw clearly, or everyone didn't pay attention!

Who made Wang's red body so dazzling?Everyone's eyes were dazed.

If it weren't for Wang's "ah", no one would have found out about it!

The old lady who was about to pick up the teacup looked at the steaming tea and couldn't help but "hiss" for Wang Shi in her heart.If it weren't for the complicated clothes of the ancients, I'm afraid Mrs. Wang would have been burned by now!

Even so, Mrs. Wang can only exclaim in surprise, it's really amazing!Could it be that the tea is not as hot as it seems?

The old lady stretched out a finger and touched the teacup lightly, wondering if it was too hot, the teacup was hot!

In fact, it was not because of her, an old woman, that Mrs. Wang suffered this crime.She just asked Yuanyang to call Yuan Chun over to let her take care of her mother.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Wang was sitting there with a frightened expression on her face, and lost her mind for some reason.And then something like this happened?However, it's good if she can leave, otherwise when the guests come and see Wang's body, they will laugh at the Jia family, right?

A middle-aged woman who is always a mother-in-law, but on the day her son gets married, she puts on the same bright red wedding dress as the bride.Isn't this telling others clearly: Isn't she dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law?

Fortunately, they came out earlier, and there are not many guests coming now.Losing face is only lost among a few close relatives.

Now that she's gone, not only the old lady, but also the sister-in-law of the Wang family are relieved in their hearts.Who let people have daughters in their families and clans!Don't make other girls in the clan unable to get married because of her alone, that would be bad.

Therefore, it wasn't just the Jia family who felt relieved when they saw Wang's departure!

The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at the maids, and said coldly:

"Who made this tea? It's so hot, why did it come out..."

The old lady slapped and talked, but she just told the Wang family that the matter of their daughter had nothing to do with her, an old woman!

later?Later, Mrs. Wang did not come out again.I just heard that when Zhu'er and his wife went to offer tea to her the next day, Mrs. Wang scolded Li Wan.Uh, or maybe Mrs. Wang despised Li Wan.

The main reason is that the Li family's dowry is too small, not worthy of Pearl or something.

Zhu Er and the others lived at home for a month, and they were angry with Wang for a month.

A month later, the young couple moved away.

Knowing that his son and daughter-in-law are not staying with Wang, who lives in the general's mansion, he went to find Zhu'er and his wife.

When Mrs. Wang came to Jia Zhu's yard, she happened to see the servants moving things out, and immediately asked:

"Pearl, what are you doing?"

Seeing her mother appearing out of nowhere, Jia Zhu asked in surprise:

"Madam, why are you here?"

When Mrs. Wang heard her son ask herself this question, and then looked at Li Wan who was standing next to his son with low eyebrows and eyes, she only said hello to herself and didn't say a word, her temper burst out immediately.She was angry that her son moved away only a month after getting married, and she didn't even tell herself.

The most important thing is: she has only been a mother-in-law for a month, and Li Wan, the daughter-in-law, has not taken good care of herself.Once they moved away, from now on, she just wanted to find someone to make things difficult for her!

Wang's tone was a little stiff and said:

"Can I not come? Ah? Zhu'er is capable, her wings have grown hard, it doesn't matter if she can leave the General's Mansion..."

Mrs. Wang said a lot, and the more she said, the more she felt that she was right, and her voice became louder and louder.

Li Wan is a new daughter-in-law, although she has occasionally heard about her mother-in-law, but seeing her current posture, how does she look like a woman from everyone?Just as impolite as a shrew in a country woman.

When I went to pay my respects by myself, I was always nitpicking.Listening to what she said now, isn't it obvious that the mother-in-law is at odds with the old lady and the big house?

No wonder, these days, when I go to pay my respects by myself, my mother-in-law always nags.It's not that the old lady is wrong, it's that my family is poor or something, but I went to pay her respects first and then the old lady, and I didn't have many opportunities to stay and serve her.Otherwise, I don't know how she tosses!

Now that they moved away, he was even less able, or had even less chance to serve her.It made her feel uncomfortable, so she came to make trouble, right?

She is a new daughter-in-law, no matter what her mother-in-law says, she has to listen and not talk to her.Try to use yourself as the background, uh, the words that come out of the old lady's mouth are really fresh and suitable for the occasion.

Mrs. Wang talked for a long time, but her son didn't talk to her.The daughter-in-law here is also like a wooden person, she didn't fart a single fart!

Seeing how poor this daughter-in-law looked, she became angry again, and just opened her mouth to continue talking about this daughter-in-law.I heard the next person greet:

"Second Master, hello!

Immediately afterwards, Jia Zheng appeared in front of them!

If it was before, she could still say a few words about Jia Zheng.Now?Say a few words?Want to be divorced?She knew that the Jia family could really do such a thing.

My brother doesn't care about himself now, she sent a lot of words and letters back, but the family never replied to her!She is not stupid, she knows that the maid may not even be able to enter the Wang family's door.If her natal family doesn't help her, what else can she do?

Jia Zheng only glanced at Wang, ignored him, and asked Jia Zhu directly:

"Pearl, are things almost ready?"

Before, because of her mother's nagging, Jia Zhu could only listen honestly and dared not answer anything.If he dared to reply, my mother would cry and cry!At that time, I don't even know how it will end!

Seeing his father appear now, he felt like he had been redeemed!I breathed a sigh of relief, and looked again, my father just appeared, and my mother shut up.

So, in a good mood, I replied:

"Go back to father, it's almost time."

Jia Zheng rarely had to tell his son to study.After all, to participate in next year's Spring Festival.

"After the past, I still have to learn from Mr...."

What Jia Zheng asked his son to study here, Wang can only stand aside and watch, and can't do anything.Also dare not strike up a conversation.

It wasn't until Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu stopped talking that Wang asked cautiously:

"Master, can I move to live with Pearl and the others?"

Jia Zheng frowned after hearing Wang's words.He asked Zhu'er to move out, just to avoid Wang Shi.Now Mrs. Wang wants to move in to live with them, so, how can that be?He replied uncertainly:

"You want to go and live with Pearl?"

"Yes sir."

"Wherever your master and I are, you can live there. Zhu'er's daughter-in-law will take good care of him."

"I, I'm going to help them housekeeper..."

"Then there's no need for you to go. It's their little home, and they can manage it themselves."

"I……"

Jia Zheng didn't want to hear her nonsense, so he interrupted directly:

"Okay, okay, they are still young, where do you need to worry about taking care of them..."

In the end, Mrs. Wang could only go back to her yard in despair.

This is what the old lady heard from Xi'er.Wherever Mrs. Wang goes now, Xi'er will follow.As long as the Wang family did something that made Xi'er feel inappropriate, Xi'er would tell the old lady.

After that, Mrs. Wang still stayed in her yard obediently, which was much better than the Buddhist hall anyway.Moreover, no one is harsh on her food and clothing.There is nothing missing that should be given.

A few months later, Zhu's daughter-in-law became pregnant, and Wang came to see the old lady again.

"Old lady, Zhu'er's daughter-in-law is pregnant, and they have no experience. My daughter-in-law wants to take care of them."

"Originally, it would be more appropriate for you to take care of them. However, there are many servants and mothers now, so there is no need for you to help."

"That's my eldest grandson..."

"Then you can ask Zheng'er. You'd better ask him about your family's affairs."

As for whether Mrs. Wang asked Zheng'er, the old lady didn't know.Until now, Mrs. Wang is still hiding in her courtyard and has not gone out.Neither the son nor the daughter-in-law were at home, and they just wanted to find fault with this person, and the nagging was gone.

On the other side, Min'er's family has already set off from Yangzhou!

The old lady continued to calculate the time at home, when she could see their family.

The health of the daughter and son-in-law has been recuperated. Although the old lady of the Lin family has also tried her best to recuperate, the old lady's health has long been exhausted.But after living for a few years, it is no longer there.

Although Lin's mansion still has servants guarding the house, because there is no master, they are not as serious as before.Fortunately, the old lady asked Jia Amnesty to check regularly, and those servants didn't dare to be lazy, and they did it very seriously.

It's just that there are few people, and the land in the Lin Mansion is not small. How can there be such a few people to clean every place every day?

Recently, the butler of Jia's mansion took a group of people to Lin's mansion to make repairs.Try to live comfortably in your own home when Lin Ruhai's family comes back.

Instead of not living for too long, you have to clean slowly when you come back to live.

"Xie'er, how is your brother-in-law's house cleaning going?"

"My son went to see it yesterday. It was cleaned very well, and the flowers and plants in the yard were also taken care of."

"That's good. By the way, when will Min'er and the others arrive?"

"It will arrive the day after tomorrow, and my son will start today, so I have to wait."
