The widowed mother of the red mansion

Jia Li picked up Jia Lan and said, "Hey, I'll take you hunting after I come back with your little uncle."

Li Wan had something to worry about, so he reluctantly said a few perfunctory words and left.Just turning out the door, I saw the girl whose original name was Liuli and later changed to tortoise shell, and Suyun squatting on the ground and fiddled with something, and said with a smile: "You are so grown up, you are not afraid of getting your skirt dirty."

Tortoiseshell said with a smile: "Grandma, come and see, there is a white flower growing under the big tree in our yard. It looks strange and handsome, but I don't know what it's called."

Li Wan also leaned over to look, and saw that it was a delicate and weak vine bougainvillea, extremely white and delicate.The three looked at it for a long time, but couldn't tell the difference.Jia Li came over with Jia Lan in his arms. He only glanced at it, then smiled and said, "This flower is called Xiyan, and it won't last long. If you like it, wrap your hands in a handkerchief and pick it off, and put it in a porcelain vase. The flowers are kept in water, and you can still enjoy them for a while. They were originally flowers from the Japanese country, and they are also found in Fujian and other coastal areas. I don’t want our house to bloom.”

Suyun smiled and said, "My lord is very knowledgeable! I didn't get out of the door, but I know the things in such a far away place. Are these all local words?"

Jia Li said: "It's strange to say, although I know it in my heart, I don't know how I know it."

Jia Lan looked at Jia Li reverently and said, "Father is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, this time he will definitely be able to go to high school."

Jia Li scratched Jia Lan's nose: "My good son, I would like to borrow your good words. If you really win, I will take you to hunt wild boars in the mountains outside the city."

Jalan cheered.Li Wan took a few glances at Jia Li and felt that his expression was normal, so he knew that he was thinking too much, so he couldn't help laughing at himself.In the first month of January, Li Wan always felt awkward and refused to get too close to Jia Li.As time went by, she saw Jia Li's tenderness and subtlety of his words and expressions were similar to Jia Zhu's, so she couldn't help turning her heart around a little, and treated him sincerely.

The two have the same interests and hobbies. Jia Li was born in the cold and warm world, and she subconsciously attached great importance to the happiness of her family.Compared with the tenderness and love between young couples, they are more like old couples who have been hand in hand for many years. Their eyebrows can convey words, they can tell each other by looking at each other, they have a tacit understanding, and the harmony is endless.

In a few days, Jia Li went to the exam with Li Hao.One morning, Li Wan got up and combed her hair, only to see Yu Chuan'er in Mrs. Wang's room calling her: "My wife ordered, let the eldest grandma come over."

Li Wan took Suyun Biyue with him, and after entering the room, he saw Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were chatting, and said with a smile: "Madam asked me to come, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Wang sneered: "It's okay to call you, so you won't come?"

Li Wan felt that the intention was not good, knelt down and said: "My daughter-in-law can't speak, which made my wife angry."

Aunt Xue quickly pulled Li Wan up: "You are really a child, why do you kneel at every turn? Your mother-in-law just said something casually. If it was Feng girl, she would have taken the opportunity to tease her long ago. Poor girl, although everyone has many rules, It's better to be more lively like your big sister."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Even if she has seven or eight guts, she has no choice but to play in front of the old lady. How dare she tease me? I don't like to make trouble, and she knows how to behave."

Aunt Xue also laughed and said, "You don't have to frighten her by asking her to talk about a happy event. You thought that Jin Chuan'er would have trouble with her."

Mrs. Wang was awakened, so she calmed down and said: "Li'er is naughty, it's fine if you don't help us persuade him, how can you help him to make trouble? He was not in good health, so I sent the maids around him away. When I went out, I was afraid of getting sick. Now I see that he is getting better, and there is no one in our house who can’t justify it, so I decided to cut Jin Chuan’er’s face to him. Now she is at home, just waiting for Li’er to come back This matter is done. You have always been virtuous, so you must know how to tell him, so I don't need to ask you more."

Li Wan clenched his fists, forced a smile for a long while and said, "Daughter-in-law understands."

Mrs. Wang nodded: "It's good to understand. There's nothing else going on here, you can go."

After Li Wan took his leave and left slowly, Aunt Xue watched her disappear and sighed: "She and Li'er have a very good relationship, and it's hard to avoid feeling uncomfortable when someone gets inserted."

Mrs. Wang said: "If it's really good, a few more people will not hinder her. Everyone has lived like this since childhood. Isn't there a leveler like Feng girl? It's a common thing. If she can't think about it , also lost the reputation of Li Jiashi's family."

Aunt Xue shook her head.

Mrs. Wang said: "There are no outsiders now, so let me say a few words so that you won't be afraid of your heart. How did our sisters discuss it at the beginning, and why did you change your mind on the spur of the moment? Bao girl's cousin is not married, and she is going to marry her younger brother from the Li family. Son, it’s not born to Mrs. Zhengtou. Dare I see that he won the exam, but our Baoyu didn’t, so it’s a little short?”

Aunt Xue said: "That's not it. You were there that day. Why did I take the initiative to speak? How did the old lady and Mrs. Mu tell me to lie? What is Bao girl's age and whether she has a betrothed? It's everyone's fault." Seeing things in my eyes, I asked straight in the face, how can I get over it. Besides, Baoyu, the old lady, you don’t know. At first, I still counted on the empress, but later on, the empress didn’t care about it. It’s over, it really makes me feel uneasy to live in. As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet, how can others be the masters of this kind of sentimental matter.”

Mrs. Wang sighed: "They are all young and ignorant. If you have a relationship, how can you be reliable? It's not as good as the parents' order and the matchmaker's words for a long time. At least it will save face. He doesn't want to disrespect you. Since the matter of Bao girl Set it down, and let's leave it alone."

Aunt Xue repeatedly said yes.

After Li Wan returned to Qingge Courtyard, his heart was gloomy and his face was in a daze.She was lost in thought, so she might as well be patted on the back and startled.

Looking back, he saw that it was Xiang Yun, and said, "These little girls are lazy again, so don't let me know when you come."

Xiangyun said: "Don't blame them, I told you not to speak out. Why, your family has only been away for a few days, and your eyes are fixed like a husband's stone?"

Li Wan blushed and spat at her, "It's a good thing you're still an unmarried girl, so you're not shy when you speak."

Xiangyun said: "This is strange. The love between husband and wife is a common thing in human relations. There is nothing to be seen. I came here to tell you something. After Sister Bao got married, she refused to live in this garden. She said that she wanted to pack up and go back to her house. The wife refused, saying that there was no reason to alienate relatives for this reason, so Sister Bao went to Auntie's place, and today she invited us to compose poems at Hengwu Garden. It also means to be a host, and it will be inconvenient to come in later.”

Li Wan said: "It would be convenient if I lived with my aunt. The corner door on the northeast side of the garden has been open all the time, just to let them go. I know that Miss Bao is the most thoughtful person. Once she opened her mouth, Hengwu It is inevitable that the garden will be vacant for a long time, and you will be able to move in when the time comes."

Xiangyun clapped his hands and said, "Excellent, I don't want to live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion anymore. It's not because I quarreled with Sister Lin, but because every time Baoyu came, even if they didn't drive me away, I didn't feel like staying there. Whoever keeps it is a fool! You look at me and smile and I look at you, it seems that as long as the two of you sit together, you can laugh like that for the rest of your life, and you don't need to eat."

Li Wan teased her and said, "Don't worry, don't you also make an appointment to kiss? In the future, I will laugh and laugh with your husband too. How nice it is."

Xiangyun blushed, and said: "Who cares?" She suddenly laughed at herself: "My parents left early, and my aunt and I saved the dowry. ?Anyway, when asked, it will cost money to support me for so many years."

Li Wan said: "Don't count on it. In the future, they can take out as much as they are willing to scoop out. It won't hurt your heart to fight for those. Don't worry, big girl. The old lady has already saved your share. I see you growing up." Big, I have to scoop out some money for you, and then you will have a few more boys to kowtow to me."

Xiangyun scratched Li Wan and said, "Look at you just pretending! You said I'm not ashamed, but you are shameless!"

After Xiangyun made such a fuss, Li Wan temporarily forgot about Jin Chuan'er, and the two reached Hengwuyuan holding hands, chatting and laughing.Just after entering, Hengwu Garden, which is usually deserted and quiet, is very lively, with many people gathered in colorful flowers.Because the weather was cold, the charcoal stove had been set up in the room, and the pots of narcissus were also pushed open by the heat, making it as warm as spring.

Baochai was instructing the little maid to deliver hot wine to the kang table. Seeing Li Wan approaching, she greeted her with a smile and said, "It's hard for you to have some leisure. Is it windy outside? Drink a few cups to warm yourself up."

Li Wan said: "I thought it was my foot that went into Tanya's Qiushuangzhai by mistake. You have never been so lively here before."

Baochai said with a smile, "So I'm just like an aunt who loves to be pure. It can be seen that you have misunderstood me. You treat me like a happy ordinary person as an outsider. Next time, don't misjudge people. Come and draw lots, Luoer Just now she lost several games of chess, she was so drunk that her face turned red, go and see her, she looks strange."

Daiyu has sharp ears and heard it a long time ago. She smiled and said: "You have lost a lot, don't just push me. Look, sister-in-law, she got a noble son-in-law, so she went crazy with joy, and scooped up the dowry money on a whim. I came to invite you to drink, but after thinking about it, I regretted it, and I forced my sister-in-law to give you double the gift money."

Baochai walked straight over and pinched Daiyu's cheeks: "It's not easy to imitate Second Sister-in-law, such a clumsy tongue!"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Whoever wants you to tease me first, sister-in-law quickly hold her down, let's not let her take advantage of it."

Li Wan said with a smile: "That's impossible. If you hold her down, you won't be able to fly out of this house. I'm out of my mind. I don't want to be a wealthy sister-in-law. I don't want to be such a cheap sister-in-law! Even my son-in-law will scold me .”

Everyone laughed, Baochai blushed to the neck, laughed and cursed a few words, and then ordered the servant girl to bring up the wine and vegetables.Xichun was also at the banquet, and Li Wan talked to her, and felt that she became more and more cute, saying: "I usually play with my sisters more, if there is anything you need, just send someone to ask for it. The people in the room Are you okay?"

Xichun nodded, holding up the teacup to drink tea, Li Wan couldn't love her cute appearance, so she picked a lot of fruits and put them on her plate.Seeing this, Xiangyun yelled: "Don't just love your sister-in-law, we haven't married yet, but you, like Xue Baoyu, treat older people like fish eyes."

Upon hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly explained: "It was my ignorance that made a mistake, so let's take it back now. Women don't necessarily change their fish eyes after they get married. Those snobbish people, even a girl, are very vulgar. It's disgusting, if you have a character like a fairy, let alone get married and have children, when you get old and have children and grandchildren, you will be as white as snow and bright as the moon, so noble!"

Xiangyun ouchily laughed and said, "I was just joking, why bother to be so panicky? Don't worry, your younger sister Lin won't be scared off by your words and dare not get married. Besides, even with fish eyes, you're afraid It should also be said that it is the spirit fish of the Yaochi, after eating it, you can laugh and prolong your life, and you can save food."

When Li Wan heard about Sheng Fan, he couldn't help but think of what Xiang Yun said before that the two never got tired of seeing each other, and he couldn't help laughing.Except for Xichun who is ignorant, everyone present here are all intelligent and sensitive people, how can they fail to understand the meaning of the words?Everyone laughed.

Daiyu used to look at Baochai's embarrassment for fun, but now that she saw the fire burning on her body, Baoyu was clumsy and couldn't tell the difference, so she couldn't help blushing, and said with a smile: "Before singing, everyone is 'crazy' Eat your wine, it will be dark if you don’t write poems later, let’s have another meal for Sister Laibao.”

Baochai laughed and said, "I can still afford a meal. It's just a matter of a few taels of silver. I just heard what you said about fish eyes. I only know that there is a famous dish in Suzhou called double jade eyes. Do you want to eat it at night?" ?”

Everyone laughed and said, "We don't eat it, but Baoyu eats it. Just make him a plate."

Li Wan watched the group of beautiful children making fun of each other, and couldn't help smiling.She didn't drink much, but she felt a little drunk, so she scooped up a pillow and leaned against the wall, squinting to watch them play.

If only life were always this happy, always this carefree.
