[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

Seven times, Jia Baoyu came to the door with all the people

Mrs. Xu came back this time not because of Jia Min's refusal to come to the door, but to express her congratulations. Mrs. Lian was just diagnosed to be two months pregnant. While discussing with Wang about hosting a banquet for Zhen's family, Xu simply kept out of sight and out of mind, and it would be better if he went to Jia Min's mansion to sit down by himself.

"Congratulations, sister-in-law." Jia Min smiled, "Daughter-in-law Lian is in good health."

"Everything is fine." Xu also grinned from ear to ear, "If the person serving her didn't find out that her two-month monthly letter hadn't arrived, the child might not have noticed it either. After all, there is no one around her." It's more difficult for the mother to handle the matter. I want to call Aunt Liu who is beside me to give her orders, so it's good to take care of her."

"It's up to you to make up your own mind," Jia Min said after coughing lightly.

Lin Daiyu was listening, seeing that her mother probably had a dry throat and cough, so she offered a cup of tea for Jia Min to drink.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "After all, it is Yu'er who knows how to love you. If only I had such a well-behaved daughter. Although I raised the child Yingchun, she was called the old lady when she was very young. Hug it, the temperament I have developed now is too quiet."

"Isn't it better to be quiet?" Jia Min took a sip of the tea poured by Lin Daiyu, "Girls need to be quiet and virtuous." She glanced at Lin Daiyu again and said, "Yu'er, go to the small kitchen to see, I'm here today Is the corn lily and red date soup that I ordered ready? If it is ready, ask someone to serve it."

Lin Daiyu also knew that her mother probably had something private to say to her aunt, so she nodded and went out.

"Your family's Yu'er is really polite and polite. No wonder the old lady wants to marry the Lin family." Xu glanced at Jia Min and said, "But I think you are very unwilling."

"That's natural. What kind of thing is that Jia Baoyu, and he is worthy of my Yu'er?" Jia Min snorted, "What mother is thinking about now is the baby pimple born with jade in her mouth. Although she is her granddaughter, looking at her like this, she must be calculated. I don't want to see my Yu'er marry a man who is ignorant and only messes around in the house. I heard that my mother has been holding Jia Baoyu by her side. , even the family studies follow his own mind, and he doesn't want to go if he doesn't want to go?"

"Yes, don't be afraid to tell my sister that Lian's daughter-in-law is pregnant. Although the old lady is happy, as long as Baoyu is around her and jokes, such good news will be forgotten by the old lady in a blink of an eye. "Fortunately, Rongguo Mansion has been inherited by Jia She. Lian'er is not smart in studying, but she is still hardworking. This time, she is honored to be a candidate. "I listened to it when I went out. The old lady took Xiangyun to the mansion, and said that after Brother Shu finished the palace examination, she would come to greet you."

"Oh?" Seeing that my family's Yu'er doesn't come to the door, you Jia Baoyu is used to thinking of another way to get in touch with my daughter, "He will come whenever he wants, but if he wants to get in touch with my daughter easily, there is no way."

Mrs. Xu smiled, and said she was going to Lian's mansion to talk to her in-laws, so she left.

Lin Jinshu's final ranking came out, the first place in the second class, he was awarded a Jinshi background, and entered the Imperial Academy as an editor for the Imperial Academy.The No. [-] Scholar is Song Zisheng, the son of the president of Hangzhou Academy, the second place is Jiang Zhe, the second son of the Jiang family in Suzhou, and Tanhua is Yuchi Hongxuan, the son of Yuchiwei, the son of the Imperial College Jijiu.Qiu Wei officially came to an end, and Jia Min also breathed a sigh of relief. Although his son failed to pass the first-class exam, it was not too bad to be the first-class second-classer. Seeing what the Li family meant, he was very satisfied.

Li En, the eldest daughter of the Li family, was married to Lin Jinshu. After Lin Jinshu was elected, the Li family also came to visit once. Li En couldn't come to the house because he was engaged, so he only entrusted his mother, Mrs. Meng, to Lin Daiyu. Also, Jia Min gave her a purse made by herself, and she also intended to let Jia Min, the future mother-in-law, know her needlework skills.

Li En was embarrassed to come to the door, but Jia Min understood very well, she only asked Lin Daiyu to go to Li's house to meet Li Hui when she had time to talk, but she and Meng Shi understood the meaning of the words.

"Ma'am, the second and third girls of Rongguo Mansion and the second master Bao are here, and the girl from the Shi family and the girl from the Xue family are also here." Cui Liu came in and reported back.

Jia Min raised her eyebrows, and said, "Call me in." Sure enough, calling my sister-in-law was right, Jia Baoyu didn't give up after all. "By the way, call Yu'er to me."

Both Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun were dressed in bright red, and they ran in happily to greet Jia Min and then looked around; Tanchun came with Baoyu, and she couldn't refuse, so after greeting Jia Min, she sat down and lowered her head slightly without saying a word; Jia Tanchun and Jia Yingchun had the same thoughts, but the wife ordered her to look at Baoyu well. , she naturally obeyed.

Jia Min squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Xue Baochai. She was wearing a moon-white slub-pattern jacket, a water-green floor-length cotton silk dress, and plain hosta silk flowers on her head. She sat down and didn't speak. .She should still be in the filial piety period, but this time she followed her out for some reason.

"It turned out that the second cousin, the third cousin, the second cousin, and the Shi cousin are here." Lin Daiyu paused slightly when she saw Jia Baoyu when she walked into the room, and then greeted with a smile.Seeing another girl sitting there with a face, she looked at Jia Min and said, "This sister is a face."

"This is Sister Bao, the second cousin's cousin." Shi Xiangyun hurriedly replied.For some reason, every time she saw Jia Min as her cousin, she always felt a little scared, and she didn't dare to say the intimate names she used to call Jia Baoyu on weekdays. "It's the older sister of the Xue family from Jinling."

"It turned out to be the older sister of the Xue family." Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, then turned to Jia Min and said, "Master Guan said that today's class will be suspended because of a visitor, and we will make up for it tomorrow."

"Understood." Jia Min asked her to sit down, "You all sit down. Cui Liu, ask someone to bring some snacks."

As soon as he sat down, Jia Baoyu said, "I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time, how is Sister?"

Lin Daiyu didn't even bother to look at her, she just lowered her head and held the teacup and said, "Everything is fine."

"I originally wanted to ask my ancestors to pick you up and live in the mansion for a while. After all, the sisters and sisters in the mansion are so happy to talk and write poems together. It's just that my sister has never been free. I heard that my sister is now studying with the master. Our mansion There are also masters in school, why don't younger sisters study together with the second and third younger sisters." Seeing Lin Daiyu talking to him, Jia Baoyu became even more excited, "It will be great for us to learn poetry and calligraphy together at that time!"

"You are talking stupid." Jia Yingchun hurriedly said, "Sister Lin's family has a lot of masters, and her uncle and aunt are also knowledgeable, let alone a cousin who was born as a Jinshi. Where do we need to go?" Study and practice calligraphy in the house. Let the second master know that you are talking nonsense, and he will discipline you again."

Jia Zheng was the only person who could control Jia Baoyu. When Jia Yingchun said this, Jia Baoyu immediately became listless, and could only look at Lin Daiyu helplessly.

But Lin Daiyu said: "Second cousin is right. I have a master in my own family. Why do I want to go to my grandparents' house? It is often said in the book 'Cheng Huan is at your knees'. I am the daughter of my father and mother, so naturally I have to serve my parents more. That's right." Then he said to Xue Baochai, "It's the first time I meet my sister, and I don't know what kind of tea my sister likes to drink. This alpine cloud is always prepared at our house, my sister will try it."

"I like to drink any kind of tea." Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Teas that I don't understand have their own benefits. The aroma or the aftertaste of the tea soup are all different." Mom asked her to come along, but she didn't know what it was Xue Baochai had no choice but to speak cautiously.After all, she is the daughter of a first-rank official, so she has a good temperament, but Xiangyun said that Miss Lin has an unpredictable temper, so it's better to deal with it carefully.

"Sister Bao knows a lot." After Shi Xiangyun comforted Jia Baoyu, he turned to talk to Xue Baochai, "I heard that Sister Bao has a golden lock. Is it true?"

After listening to Shi Xiangyun's question, Jia Min raised his eyes slightly.Even Shi Xiangyun, a girl who occasionally lives in Rongguo Mansion, knows that Xue Baochai has a golden lock, so the Jia Mansion might spread the word like crazy, right?Xue Baochai is still in the period of filial piety, and the Xue Wang family would not be so stupid to let the rumors of "golden and jade marriage" spread in the house. Doesn't this make people feel that their daughter is not filial?

"Where did my sister hear about it?" Xue Baochai was a little surprised. She had been keeping a filial piety in Lixiangyuan since she came to Beijing. She even took off the golden lock on her body and locked it up early. She never mentioned it to outsiders.

"I just listened to it from my ancestor." Shi Xiangyun replied straightforwardly, "I heard that Aunt Xue mentioned it in front of my ancestor. It's just that I haven't seen Sister Bao wearing it, so I have this question." .”

"...I'm still in the period of filial piety, so it's better to take off the gold ornaments." Xue Baochai replied without further words.

Shi Xiangyun said "oh", seeing Xue Baochai lowering his head and not speaking, looking so boring, he pouted and leaned towards Jia Baoyu again, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, it's so boring, let's go back home early A few days ago, when my aunt asked me to do needlework again, I was still sleepy."

Jia Baoyu looked at Lin Daiyu, who was chatting with Jia Yingchun about needlework, and looked at Shi Xiangyun, who still had a pleading face. After thinking about it, he reluctantly let go of the idea of ​​playing with sister Lin, got up and said: " Aunt, Sister Shi is not feeling well, I have to take her back home first."

Jia Min wanted Jia Baoyu to leave quickly, so she nodded and agreed with a smile, and said, "Xiangyun looks like he hasn't had a good rest. I have some pearl powder from the south here. Ask someone to drink it for you. It can soothe your mind and improve your eyesight." , take it back and take it."

"Thank you, cousin." Shi Xiangyun smiled and took the pearl powder packed in a white jade box, and pulled Jia Baoyu out.Naturally, Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun couldn't stay, so they also stood up and left.Xue Baochai was even more unfamiliar with Jia Min and Lin Daiyu, and this time he was eager to go back soon, so he left together.

"I don't know why." Lin Daiyu muttered, "Mother, that daughter has gone back to practice calligraphy too." Jia Baoyu and his party came and left quickly, and the afternoon homework could continue.

"Let's go." Came here without thinking, and left in a hurry, Jia Min just felt embarrassed for the two girls, Yingchun and Tanchun.As for why Xue Baochai followed her, she had to ask her sister-in-law.
