Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Chapter 166 Sister-in-law?

After Jia Yuanchun and Jia's mother calmed down, Aunt Xue and all the sisters came forward to pay their respects. They were all relatives of their own family. Before they knelt down, Jia Yuanchun asked Baoqin to help them up.

"How is Auntie?" Jia Yuanchun asked.

Aunt Xue replied with a smile, "Now I live in Jia's house, the old lady takes care of me, and my mother's mother takes care of me, everything is fine."

Speaking of her mother, Jia Yuanchun was a little perplexed, "Why didn't mother come?"

Jia Mu said, "I didn't know that the empress's holy family, Long En, was here, but I didn't expect that the empress would also accompany her. Otherwise, the political daughter-in-law would definitely come here."

Forget it, she came out in a hurry that day, and she never thought that she would be chosen as an escort, after all, her holy favor...

Pulling the sisters over, he said, "On that day, there were many internal officials around, so it's not easy to get close to the sisters. Come here quickly, and let my sister take a good look at you."

The four girls came together.

Jia Yuanchun looked at the two sisters Yingchun and Tanchun, and said, "When I entered the palace that day, Yingchun was only five or six years old, but now that she has grown up so much, she has become a beauty."

A blush stained her face, just like Yuan Chun said, Yingchun is the biggest among the sisters, except for Baochai, no one can compare to her girlish demeanor, but it is a pity that she rarely speaks on weekdays Silent, with Baochai as beautiful as a peony in the front and Lin Daiyu as graceful and romantic in the back, she, the biggest girl in the Jia family, is nothing but mediocre.

Even Jia's mother was taken aback by this shy look, thinking that her inconspicuous granddaughter had grown up, so she should look good.

Then it was Tanchun. Although Yuanchun couldn't see Mrs. Wang, the news inside and outside the palace was still unblocked. She also knew from her mother that Tanchun was eating inside and outside, and wanted to help her younger brother to get his father's attention. things.

You know, Yuan Chun now has only one direct brother, and her natal family has no influence in the court, so she can't hold her head up in the palace, and her desire for Baoyu's success is only stronger than Mrs. Wang's. How can she agree to the birth of a maidservant? Brother Huan took Baoyu's favor, so he only praised Jia Tanchun in the ordinary way, and even the smile on his face faded by two points.

Tanchun didn't seem to notice it, so he complied with a smile.

But Mother Jia sighed inwardly. Now that the Jia family's men are not successful, even Baoyu doesn't know when he will be able to become a talent. Naturally, she turned her attention to a few women. Not to mention Baochai and Daiyu, they are all of foreign surnames. People, Daiyu still wants to leave it to Baoyu.

Although the Jia family is fairly prosperous, there are only three girls, which is far inferior to Shi's family with three girls.Although this Yingchun is good-looking and older, it's just that the temperament developed in childhood is difficult to overcome, she is too timid and not smart enough.

Although this old Silu is good in everything, there is only one thing that is not good. She is not her own granddaughter. She looks well-behaved, but she is really proud inside. It's just to get closer to Dongfu.

Only girl Tanchun, who is good-looking, can talk and do things, is also the child of Zheng'er whom I love, and is also the younger sister of the empress. If I support her, I will find a powerful brother-in-law for Baoyu in the future. Just looking at the appearance of the empress, I knew that it might not be possible. The empress is different from the past. Even if she speaks in front of the empress, she has to weigh it carefully. What a pity.

Mother Jia thought this way, Yuan Chun had already looked at Jia Lu, and Yuan Chun was obviously more enthusiastic about Jia Lu. Jia Lu's two nephews, one from literature and the other from martial arts, were both outstanding figures in the Jia family. After a year or two, maybe she can still rely on her.

"This is Sister Lu, right? When you were a baby in swaddling clothes, your mother brought you to our house. At that time, it seemed that the old lady praised your appearance. Looking at it now, it seems that the old lady has good eyesight. Check it out."

Mother Jia smiled knowingly when she heard her compliment,

"It's been so many years, it's hard for the empress to remember."

Yuan Chun moistened his eyes again, and said, "Why can't I remember, I will never forget the days when I was at home no matter what."

Mother Jia patted her on the back.

It was Yuan Chun who was embarrassed, wiped away the tears, and said, "It's my fault. It's hard for the old lady to bring my sisters over. I'm not interested."

He added, "Back then you sent up pictures of relatives and family happy, the old sage and the sage were very happy, and even rewarded them specially, but now you are still drawing."

Thinking that the paintings sent up were just perfunctory, made with care and still kept at home, she blushed a little and said,

"I still paint now, but I don't paint often." She doesn't like task-style painting, so she should push it away.

Seeing this, Yuan Chun thought it was because the children's family was not sure, so he turned it away.

Only Baochai was left. In fact, Baochai was the girl she was most interested in. Her mother had already sent word that she had taken a fancy to Baochai and wanted to betroth her to Baoyu. Guan Baoyu himself wanted to take a good look at it.

Theoretically, Xue Baochai is a guest, and he should see her first when he meets people, but he ignored her and met his younger sisters one by one. When talking to the sisters, she had actually been paying attention to Xue Baochai.

Seeing her calm and introverted, even if he ignored her, he also had a smile on his lips, looking contented. He had taken Baoyu with him for a while, and it can be said that mother and child are better than siblings. She knows Baoyu, and she escapes from innocence. He should find a mature and gentle girl for him, and let him order it. Baochai looks good like this.

"This is the cousin of Xue's family. I don't know what to do for fun?" Jia Yuanchun straightened his back and let out his momentum.

Facing the power of Jia Yuanchun's superior, Baochai still did not change his face, and his voice was calm.

"In the case of Hui Niangniang, I just do some needlework and spinning on weekdays."

Yuan Chun nodded, he was a quiet man, and asked a few more questions, seeing that she answered properly, he was half-satisfied in his heart.

It's just that we can't make a conclusion yet. The old lady's valued Lin Daiyu has never been seen. Although this Miss Lin's parents are dead, her father Wen Sugong has a better reputation, but I don't know her character.

"I heard that there is still Aunt Lin's child living in the house temporarily, called Daiyu. She went south when I was visiting relatives that day. Didn't she come today?"

Jia Mu replied, "Yu'er is still keeping her filial piety. She is afraid of offending all the distinguished guests. She is weak, so she simply never came here."

Seeing Jia Yuanchun's obvious regret, Jia Lu just thought it was funny. After seeing Baochai, she wanted to see Daiyu again. You can fight!

Although it's a pity, it's just an outsider who has never met, so forget it.

"Have you heard that Baoyu came with him?"

"That's right, it's just that the outsider can't give orders and can't come in, he's waiting outside!"

Jia Yuanchun stood up and said, "They are all my brothers, why do you care about these things, please come in soon."

Baoqin agreed, went out, and didn't come back for half a day. Yuanchun was worried that something had happened, so he sent the little yellow door beside him to have a look. Anxious.
