Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Concubine Yuan sent her relatives back to the palace, and Jia Lu also returned home. When she got home, she still thought about the scene at that time, and she couldn't forget it. Her gentlemen knew that such emotions were rare, and they didn't blame them. They all accompanied her to finish the painting .

Such a painting has been painted for more than a month, and it is called a picture of the concubine Yuan concubine.The effect of this painting is really good, even Jia Jing was amazed when he saw it. After hearing about it, Jia Mu wanted to put this painting into the Feng Palace. Jia Lu was satisfied with this painting. She disagreed with life and death, and only agreed to paint again one piece.

I have been painting like this for another month, and I am not in the mood. Naturally, the painting is not as touching as the last one.But for the young Jia Lu, it was not bad. After entering, the saint and the old saint saw it, and they were all amazed. They heard that it was drawn by a little girl under the age of ten in Yuanchun, and they sent down gifts one after another.

Jia Lu took this opportunity to say that she was a little older and really not very good at poetry and poetry, so she wanted to specialize in painting. Jia Jing wanted to pamper her, so naturally he agreed and dismissed the other gentlemen , leaving only Mr. Ke who taught how to behave in the world. She used to teach at the princess's place. There was also a gentleman who thought he was good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, but Jia Lu despised his nobility in speech and behavior, so she resigned from him. Mr. Suo Xingke is also good at painting, and he can teach it.

The 21st is Baochai's 15th birthday. Although what happened two years ago made Baochai lose a lot of heart with Jia Mu, but in the past two years, Baochai has not been arrogant or impetuous, but whether he is a sister or a brother. Baoyu is like a big sister, gentle, careful, and caring. Not only Baoyu, but also the two sisters, Yingchun and Tanchun, are also full of praise. Mother Jia sees it in her eyes and remembers it in her heart, so she is naturally satisfied. .

So he proposed to celebrate her birthday and asked someone to call Jia Lu. At that time, Jia Lu was obsessed with painting, so she didn't want to go out, so she just gave her an excuse to refuse.

Later, when I heard that Shi Xiangyun had passed away, Wang Xifeng introduced a little opera singer who said that the child looked like a person, and no one said a word when they saw it, but she said it outright, it was Miss Lin, and she was still there without Lin Daiyu, so she didn't have any conflicts with her. The turmoil passed.

Nanny Li murmured in Jia Lu's ear, and she didn't know whether the big girl of the historian family was really careless or not, so she told Jia Lu to stay away, and Jia Lu waved the paintbrush and nodded half-heard.

Then the imperial concubine Yuan ordered all the sisters to move into the Grand View Garden. Baoyu and the others were naturally very happy. Because they had discussed with Jia Jing last year, Jia Lu would live with Jia Mu after a year of filial piety. Jia Lu was invited over and asked her to choose a house.

Jia Lu was also very excited about splitting the house, and came over excitedly.

When it arrived, Yingchun, Tanchun, Baoyu, Xiangyun, Li Wan, and Baochai were discussing where to live, and it was lively.

Seeing Jia Lu coming, Baoyu waved his hands excitedly and said,

"The fourth sister is here, come and have a look, which room do you want to choose?"

Jia Lu asked, "Can you choose?"

Tanchun responded, "No, you are the youngest, we want you to choose first!"

There are really two different appearances with Jia Jing and without Jia Jing. I never heard in the book that she was chosen first because she was young!

"Seniors are in order, only your sisters choose first, so why should I choose first? Besides, sister-in-law is still there, why should sister-in-law choose first?"

The sisters thought the same reason, and said, "Sister-in-law, let's choose first!"

Seeing that he had said this to himself, Li Wan hurriedly waved his hands and declined, "I'm a sister-in-law, so there's no one who would take care of your sister-in-law first."

She glanced at Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, and said, "We still have classes here, or let Miss Shi and Miss Xue choose first?"

Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai were originally foreigners, and they didn't dare to take the lead from the host's house, so they hurriedly declined, "We are not in a hurry, let you go first!"

Mother Jia watched the sisters humbly and resigned to each other from above, and she was very happy, and said to Mrs. Wang,

"Look at the children in our family, who doesn't love such a sensible child!"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "This is not what the old lady taught me well."

Seeing the humility between the sisters, he couldn't come up with an idea after thinking about it for a while, so he said,

"Look at them, old lady. If you don't come up with an idea, I'm afraid they won't be able to discuss it until dark!"

The old lady also smiled, and said to them,

"You don't have to be humble anymore, can you still listen to me?"

Seeing that the old lady had spoken, everyone naturally said yes.

"I know you two are good sisters. It's a matter of time and place. According to me, your fourth younger sister is the youngest and the eldest girl in the East Mansion. I thought about it and let her choose, okay?"

Everyone said yes, "Nature is good."

"The old lady is thoughtful and waiting."

"Then you Xiangyun girl and Bao girl are foreigners, so you should be more distinguished, so let them choose again." Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai looked at each other, and they could only say yes.

"Then there are the second girl and the third girl. Baoyu, you are a man, so give them some girls."

Baoyu applauded after hearing this, "Sisters and sisters were originally more noble than me, so they were the first to choose."

Jia Mu said to Li Wan, "You are a sister-in-law, but I, an old woman, are biased. Let them have children!"

As a grandson's wife, Li Wan dared not answer, and replied with a smile, "That's why."

Seeing that she had the right to choose first, Jia Lu thought that Daiyu would come in half a year, so she wanted to make a living for her, said.

"Sister Lin, do you want to live with us?"

Mother Jia slapped her head, "I forgot about you, Sister Lin. Good boy, you still think about him."

Baoyu also patted his head, "Damn it, I forgot about Sister Lin, isn't it just damn! I looked at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, covered by thousands of green bamboos, with a noble character, very similar to Sister Lin, if I let you Sister Lin, go live there!"

Jia Lu listened and said,

"I also visited the Xiaoxiang Pavilion when my mother was visiting relatives that day. It is indeed a particularly elegant place, but it is not suitable for Sister Lin to live in.

For one thing, Sister Lin was weak and suffered from a cough since she was a child. Although the Xiaoxiang Hall was good, it was too cold, and it might not be convenient for Sister Lin to recuperate.

Secondly, when Sister Lin returns to Beijing to live, she will always live with cousin Lin Rui. Although the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is exquisite, it is too small. "

Paused, saluted the old lady, and said,

"Sister Lin just lost her father, and I lost my mother. It is only because of the kindness of my ancestors that I can be happy with my ancestors. It's just that we two unknown people are both in the filial piety period. We shouldn't have moved into the Grand View Garden to tarnish the place where the empress stayed. , Your Majesty is open-minded and magnanimous, allowing us to live there. It’s just us.”

As she spoke, she choked up, even Jia's mother squinted her eyes when she thought of her poor granddaughter, her daughter who died young, and her proud nephew and daughter-in-law Han.

Not only them, but the other sisters became silent one by one when they thought of their own difficulties.
