Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Mrs. Shi glanced over, the biggest one had creamy skin, slightly plump body, gentle and silent, but the tallest one, called the third girl, was somewhat similar to their family Xiangyun, looking bright and radiant , the youngest one also has exquisite features, delicate and charming.

Quickly helped people up, looked at them one by one, and said to Jia Mu, "Old lady, you are the one who can teach people, look at your granddaughters, all of them are like fairies in the sky, strange that your eldest grandson My daughter has been made a concubine!"

Mother Jia felt at ease when she heard it, and also smiled.

At this time, Jia Baoyu interrupted. Just now the elders were talking and he couldn’t speak. Now that the introduction is over, Baoyu couldn’t help but ask again,

"Cousin, I wonder if the historian sisters are here?"

Shi Xiangyun pinched him, "I'm no longer a girl from the Shi family. If you ask me that, what do you think of me?"

Only then did Jia Baoyu realize that he had made a mistake, so he quickly coaxed,

"Sister, don't be angry, you often come to our house, I just treat you as my real sister, that's why I neglect my sister!"

Hearing this, Shi Xiangyun felt joy in his heart and smiled again.

Mrs. Shi didn't take it seriously when she first asked, but when Jia Baoyu asked again, she muttered a little. This Baoyu was staring at what their girl was doing, and seeing him and Shi Xiangyun arguing together, he had a fight with the child. Usually, I thought I was thinking too much, said,

"Unfortunately, the girls just went out to visit together."

Just as they were talking, there was a sound of Yingyingyanyan, the thick wool felt door was lifted, and a group of gorgeous girls came in, talking and laughing with each other, each holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw strangers sitting in a circle, and two young men. Thinking of his appearance as a girl who was chattering just now, he couldn't help but blush and hesitated to go forward.

Mrs. Shi saw them like this, they are all her own children, how could she not feel distressed, and said,

"Come here soon, I have seen the old lady."

All the sisters came up to see the ceremony. There are six girls in total in the two rooms of the Shi family. They are all in the flowering period, and they are not much different from Shi Xiangyun. are difficult.

Girls from the Shi family are generally not as good-looking as Jia's, and the best ones are just delicate and beautiful, but they are lively and bright, and they all greet each other. Jia's mother likes girls again. She pulls this, does not forget that, and praises Kua, let the mandarin ducks present the meeting gifts one by one.

Aunt Xue wanted to please the Shi family. Seeing that Mother Jia had given it to her, she also took out her own pocket and asked the mother next to her to pick up a meeting gift. The sisters of the Shi family were hard-pressed, so they were happy to receive two gifts. They surrounded each other with affection. Mother Jia was talking to Aunt Xue.

Mrs. Shi, on the other hand, forced a smile. This was her home field. When she met the Jia family sisters, she should have given a greeting gift. It’s just that the Shi family was embarrassed, so they thought they would just pass by like this, but it was a coincidence that the sisters came back. , Mother Jia and Aunt Xue both sent them back, and I had no choice but to send them back, so I gritted my teeth and endured it.

She winked at the Second Madam, at least there was her daughter in here, so she had to do her part, so the Second Madam Shi pretended not to notice, and sat on the side with a cheeky face, Madam Shi was not thick-skinned enough, so she had to do it herself.

After counting the heads, after all, I still earned it myself, so I comforted myself like this.

Jiamu and the others spent half a day in the Shijia tent, and when it was almost dark, Wu Xindeng's family came back and said that they had packed everything up and invited the old lady to go home.

Mother Jia and others packed up and went home.

On the way, Jia Lu opened the gift from Mrs. Shi. The kit was quite exquisite, and it contained a hollowed-out silver lacquer ring. It looked like it had been around for a while. How could such a gift be given out?

Maybe I got it wrong?Jia Lu pulled Yingchun, Tanchun and Baochai again. Yingchun and Baochai were always gentle, and Tanchun also wanted to please her, so the three let her remove her gift, and when they opened it, it was either a ring or an earring , are plain noodles, are a bit old.

Jia Lu sighed, "I heard Sister Shi said that she had to do needlework when she was at home, and she thought it was her aunt who was unkind, but now that I have really met, I am afraid that this historian is really not having a good life."

Yingchun was the most considerate, and said, "In the past, Sister Shi was careless, and I thought she was joking. I didn't expect it to be true, but my daughter's family always cares about face. In the future, we have to be careful when we get along with her." Some are."

Xue Baochai shook her head, "Second sister is kind, but I thought, since this Xiangyun girl has invited us over, she is not afraid that we will know about her situation. If we are too careful, we will hurt her heart instead. In that case , since we know her suffering, we might as well help out a little bit, but it’s nothing but money, but it’s just like what the second sister said, don’t talk about it in front of outsiders.”

Tanchun nodded and said yes, "Sister Bao is still thoughtful, so let's do it like this!"

The sisters here are talking about the meeting ceremony, and the sisters of the Shi family are also talking about it over there!

"My God! This is Diancui's hairpin! I've never seen such a bright color before!"

"This is a bracelet inlaid with rubies inlaid with silk. It's made of pure gold. It weighs a catty. It's hard to wear it! This Xue family is really rich!"

"Come and feel it, is my jade bracelet faintly warm, but that warm jade?"

"Really, let me see!"

"Let me see!"

A group of sisters coaxed together, rushing to touch the jade, but now they are excited, their hands are hot, how can they feel whether it is warm or not.

You touch mine, I touch yours, and there are laughter one after another, more lively than the New Year!

"Alright, alright, girls!" Madam Shi shouted to stop the sisters.

"You also know that the family is in a difficult situation. Hurry up and hand in your things. Don't let such precious things be lost by you!"

Even Mrs. Shi was envious when she saw it. It's not that she can't take it out. She also has several pieces of jewelry of this quality at the bottom of the box, but they are all old and not as good as these new ones.

The sisters also gradually silenced their voices, clutching those things in their hands, looking at each other without speaking.

While Shi Xiangyun was drinking tea leisurely, at first she was happy to watch the sisters open gifts, but seeing that Mrs. Shi even took away the children's meeting gifts, she felt a little unfair.

She was used to the generosity of Jia's family, and looked down on Mrs. Shi's pettiness. She knew that although her family was in a difficult situation, it would be difficult for such nobles as them, and it would not be poor for this reason. This aunt of hers likes to pretend to be poor in front of others the most, so that people won't be able to get along with her for the money. Otherwise, there are no slaves in the family. According to the regulations, there must be a few in a marquis mansion like theirs. Need them to do needlework?

"Madam, since the old lady and Aunt Xue gave it to the sisters, it belongs to the sisters. Why would the lady take it back? It's a few pieces of jewelry anyway, you don't necessarily have to take them out as flowers." Make money! If the old lady and Aunt Xue see this, they will lose all the old face of several lifetimes!"

"You!" Mrs. Shi opened her mouth and remained silent for a long time.
