Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Ban'er catches cats and walks dogs in the countryside. The girls in the country can't compare to boys when they splash. I just saw a little sister being hugged by a group of people. It's the first time I've seen a girl who is about my age. The girls of the noble master's family are clean, white and tender, and are even more beautiful than the ladies of the master Li's family who went back to their hometown to worship their ancestors last time. , It seems that it hasn't been washed clean, I just keep hiding behind my grandma, so that the little fairy can't see the dregs on her body.

Seeing that Ban'er was so disobedient, Grandma Liu pinched Ban'er's cheeks and pressed his shoulders to ask him to bow down and salute, but Ban'er just hid behind her grandma, not daring to come out.

Seeing that Grandma Liu was pinching and beating her, Jia Lu hurriedly stopped her and said,

"It's okay, don't force him. In the past, my mother forced me to learn etiquette, and I also hated it. Don't blame him."

Jia Lu felt awkward interrupting the conversation between Grandma Liu and Wang Xifeng, and asked, "I don't know why grandma is here?"

"It's not the Chinese New Year, this family doesn't even have any food for the Chinese New Year, so, I'm here to join you."

Grandma Liu had told Mistress Lian before, but it happened that Jia Lu came and interrupted her, so Grandma Liu turned her head to look at Mistress Lian.

Wang Xifeng laughed and said,

"When it comes to relatives, there should be care before they come to the door. But now that the chores at home are too troublesome, and my wife is getting older, there are some things that I didn't expect for a while. What's more, I have been taking care of some things recently, and it's not too big. I know these relatives. Since you have come from a long distance today, and it is the first time you see me open your mouth, how can I ask you to go back empty-handed. You don’t know that people like us don’t take money at will. I can't pass through any part of the account room, and it's not easy to take it rashly. It just so happened that I haven't moved the 20 taels of silver that my wife made clothes for my girls yesterday. If you don't think it's too little, you can take it for now. stop."

This time Jia Lu was here, since she was a sister-in-law and not from the same family, Wang Xifeng didn't say anything like "Our difficulties are big problems".

However, even though Jia Lu was listening quietly from the sidelines, she still looked down on it. Now Jia's family doesn't have any big expenses, political investment is still barely balanced, and her dowry is not needed. 20 taels Money is just a drop in the bucket to Wang Xifeng, why is it so troublesome!

Grandma Liu didn't know the reason behind this, and she didn't know what the manager and accountant did. She just heard that it was not easy to withdraw the money, and her heart was fluttering. Later, when she heard that there were 20 taels of silver, she smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"As the saying goes: 'A skinny camel is bigger than a horse'. With him, you are always plucked by the roots and thicker than our waists! The money you make clothes is enough for us peasants to live comfortably for a prosperous year. In the coming year, I can relax and relax."

Wang Xifeng laughed and said nothing, Ping'er took a bag of silver and handed it to Grandma Liu, and took another sling of money and said it was for them to take the car back.

While they were talking, Jia Lu touched her wrist. Her hands were small and her strength was not strong. She didn't dare to wear a gold bracelet for fear of breaking her wrist. She only had a silver bracelet on her hand. Seeing that they were talking, she was about to end Yes, took off the bracelet and handed it to Grandma Liu,

"Grandma Liu, wait a minute, you can melt this bracelet so that it can be used as a silver envoy, and why do you say that this year is sad?"

Grandma Liu took the bracelet and touched it. Although the bracelet is not heavy, it is inlaid with various gemstones, which is not simple at first glance.I didn't dare to ask for it, so I pushed the bracelet,

"Girl, this is too precious, we dare not take it, take it back quickly. We farmers just depend on the sky for our food. There has been little rain in the past two years, and the temperature has dropped sharply not long after autumn. The first half of the season was fine, but the second half of the season It's sad that the dealer is not yet familiar with it."

Jia Lu pushed the bracelet back, handed it to Grandma Liu, and said with a straight face, "Just put it away." Although Jia Lu is young, she has the power to put on a straight face, so that no one will refuse her.

Wang Xifeng interrupted,

"Okay, grandma, put it away and put it away. You guys think this bracelet is precious. There are not a hundred pieces here, but there are dozens of them. It's rare to have a chance to win a big family, so don't hurry up. This The days are short and the nights are long, if it goes any later, you are afraid that you will discredit Hui's family, so I won't keep you any longer, let Zhou Rui's family send you off. And fourth sister, what's the matter?"

Although Jia Lu still wanted to talk to Grandma Liu, seeing the impatience and tiredness in Wang Xifeng's eyebrows, and thinking that there were still people guarding outside, she didn't want to bother her too much. Xin'er led the mother-in-law to send the things back.

Grandma Liu was naturally happy when she got the 20 taels of silver. She got what she spent for this year, and when she was satisfied, Zhou Rui's family led her out.

"Look at your old age, can you still talk? What kind of emaciated camel is too rough?"

Grandma Liu said flatteringly,

"I saw the second grandma and the girl who looked like a fairy, just like the little boy next to the Bodhisattva. I was full of them. How could I still talk? I don't know where I lost my tongue."

From Zhou Rui's family, seeing what she said is interesting, she chuckled lightly and said,

"It's also a blessing for you to grow old. Needless to say, our second mistress is a hero in the powder pile. Besides, our fourth girl is a treasure in the next door. She has a noble status and won't be seen in a hurry, but let you I've seen it before."

"It's not in my interest to go."

The two of them talked and laughed.

When Zhou Rui's family sent Grandma Liu away, she went to serve Mrs. Wang. She didn't want Mrs. Wang to come to Aunt Xue, so she came to Aunt Xue.

While walking, Zhou Rui's family is still thinking about it.

She is Mrs. Wang's confidant and housekeeper. There are many things that others don't know. She does know that Miss Bao said she was sick, but she was actually hiding her shame. The choice, but because of Xue Dafool's lawsuit, he was not selected. I think Mrs. Wang is here to comfort her.

When I arrived at Lixiangyuan, I saw Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue chatting happily, so I didn't bother, and went to Xue Baochai's back room, and chatted for a while.

Hearing Miss Bao's novel formula from the sea, I put away the smallness in my heart. Even if Miss Bao didn't choose it, it was not simple. Such a complicated formula, even their Jia family could not collect it in ten years. Come on, it was the Xue family who had the money and energy to collect it for the girl.

After speaking, Mrs. Wang just came to call and asked,

"Then Grandma Liu is gone? How did Sister Feng make all the fuss?"

"Grandma Liu left, and I gave it to her personally. The second grandma gave her 20 taels of silver, and took a small amount of money to let her hire a car to go back. The servant hired a car and sent the man out."

Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction,

"That's all. It's hard to come here for her hard work in the new year. You have done a good job."

Aunt Xue listened and asked,

"Who is this Grandma Liu?"

Mrs. Wang responded,

"Grandma Liu's husband is also surnamed Wang. She was an official with our father back then, and later joined Zong's family. Do you remember?"

Aunt Xue laughed,

"It's been so long, how can I still remember it? It's because you have a good memory and miss their old people, so you can recognize them."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said nothing, and let Zhou Rui's family go down, but Aunt Xue stopped Zhou Rui's family.

"Wait a minute, I have a few palace flowers here, you take them to their sisters and sisters, and Sister Feng to wear them."

Speaking of which, someone brought out the palace flowers. Mrs. Wang saw the freshness and beauty of the flowers, and said,

"Let's wear it for Miss Bao."

Aunt Xue said that Baochai didn't like flowers and fans since she was a child.

Zhou Rui's family got this errand, seeing that the two masters had nothing to say, they went out.
