Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Mother Jia thought for a while and said, "That's right, you brought several boatloads of books back then."

Looking at the neat and tidy study room, the atmosphere is clean, and he said, "You guys have kept this study room very well, as long as there are books, unlike some people's study room, where this incense is placed, and that decoration is placed. , that’s not the place to study.”

Grandma Liu was surprised when she heard the old lady talking to Daiyu, "Don't tell me, this study belongs to this girl?"

The old lady nodded, shook her head again, and said, "It doesn't matter if you say it, it doesn't matter if you say it!"

Grandma Liu propped her head up and said, "Hey, old lady, you have confused me. What is counting is not counting."

Everyone laughed, Wang Xifeng supported Grandma Liu, and said to Jiamu,

"Look at the old lady, she also said that I am teasing grandma, aren't you also teasing yourself?"

Then he said to Grandma Liu, "Grandma, let me explain to you that this was originally a house in the same house. Because sister Lin and fourth sister are both keeping filial piety, and the two sisters get along well, so I chose a house. The place is next door."

Wang Xifeng pointed to the two-story building not far from the window, and continued,

"Our Miss Lin is amazing. Her father was born in Tanhualang, and was named Wensu Gong by the emperor. Her ancestors were born in a scholarly family. These books are all from their family! She also brought A younger brother lives with her, so it is both hers and not hers."

Grandma Liu heard it, and said flatteringly, "That's really amazing, my uncle was born in Wenquxing, this girl is probably the reincarnation of a fairy in the sky!"

Seeing her surprised appearance, everyone laughed again.

Although everyone in the Rong Mansion was surprised that there were so many books, they didn't take it seriously. After all, they couldn't be eaten or drunk, and they were nothing precious. Even the old lady was just surprised and planned to leave, but she didn't want to hold on Threshold, unwilling to go.

When everyone looked at it, Grandma Liu was pulling and pinching, but she didn't speak, just staring at the books inside without taking her eyes off her.

Others just laughed, but for some reason Daiyu felt sad when she saw it. This reminded her of her younger brother who was studying outside. On the spur of the moment, she stopped Grandma Liu and said,

"Grandma, please stop, don't hit him, I have something for him!"

After speaking, he walked into the bookshelf, and after a while, three or five old books were brought out. The edges were slightly curled and yellowed, which seemed to be some years old.

Walking up to Ban'er, he handed him the book in his hand, but Ban'er shy away from taking it, Grandma Liu also declined, saying,

"This can't be done, can't be done, we can't bear such a precious thing!"

Daiyu said, "These are not expensive things. They are the books that my brother and I used when we were enlightened. They are some years old. I just hope that grandma will not dislike them."

Then he asked Ban'er again, "I wonder if you have enlightened?"

Ban'er timidly shook his head, while Grandma Liu said, "No, no, we are from the archway. Reading is the business of Wenquxing. How could Ban'er go to study!"

Daiyu stuffed the book over and said, "Even Wenquxing has to learn from the beginning!"

Grandma Liu still declined. Under the dispute between the two, it was Jia Mu who opened the mouth and said,

"Old relatives, please put it away. As you can see, there are so many books in this room, and there are no more than two or three books, so take them back and hire a scholar for Baner. If the money is not in your hand, we can also read it." Help one or two."

Grandma Liu shook her head quickly, and said, "No, no, our family got so much money from the house last time, and it has slowed down, and there is still some left."

"Then why don't you accept it? If your family has a scholar, it can be regarded as restoring the glory of the ancestors. It will be cheaper for our two families to meet."

Jia's mother didn't really believe that Ban'er could read it. For people like them, there was only one Jia Zhu who read it, and he died on the imperial examination.

But Grandma Liu was very moved when she heard it, so she accepted it after a half-push.

After going out the door, it is facing a small garden, walking on a winding stone road, but after a while, an open area is revealed, which is not considered empty, but compared to the original flower plants that are half as tall as the body Said that the group of vines crawling on the ground does seem to be a lot more open in the area.

Grandma Liu was surprised, and looked at Mother Jia, who seemed to have hurt her face, and cursed, "What is this! Daughter-in-law Zhu, that's how you manage the affairs of the garden? The garden of your two younger sisters It's all growing grass!"

Li Wan fell to his knees with a thud, "Old lady, granddaughter-in-law doesn't know!"

Jia Lu hurriedly said, "Old lady, this has nothing to do with my sister-in-law. These are sweet potatoes grown by my granddaughter. They came from overseas. I heard that the taste is soft and sweet. My granddaughter wants to plant them to honor the old lady!"

Listening to Jia Lu's explanation, Mother Jia calmed down and said, "It's no wonder you have such filial piety, but what is this sweet potato?"

Jia Lu replied, "Sweet potatoes and yams usually grow in the ground. They are clustered on strings and vines. They are nearly round in shape. When they are ripe, they are dug out of the soil."

While Jia Lu was replying, Grandma Liu squatted on the ground and began to look at it. Listening to what Jia Lu said, she dug one out and watched it herself. Grabbing the vines and touching them, Grandma Liu, who has been planting the fields all her life, knows it well, the yield is probably not low!

Wang Xifeng just saw Grandma Liu squatting on the ground digging, and hurriedly said,

"Grandma, get up quickly, the mud is dirty, don't mess with it, let's go into the house and wash it!"

Grandma Liu laughed and said, "It's not dirty, it's not dirty, this mud is clean!" Standing up by itself.

Everyone looked over, Grandma Liu had lived in the house for one night, and she was wearing the clean clothes prepared by Ping'er, which were no worse than her own coarse linen clothes, which were not resistant to dirt. A little bit of mud stains.

Jia Mute said, "Grandma, look at your body, it's not dirty yet, go in and change your clothes!"

Grandma Liu patted the clothes on her body, but it became more and more dirty. She smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry, the clothes the girls prepared for me are all dirty!"

Wang Xifeng pulled Jia Mu, and said, "It's okay, anyway, our old lady is a wealthy landowner, so asking her to give me a few clothes can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor!"

As they spoke, everyone laughed, and Mother Jia pointed at her and said,

"Why didn't you just rob you? Could it be that you are not a rich man?"

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and said,

"Compared to the old lady, how can I be considered a rich man! As their scholars say, what is the light of rice grains, what is the light of the moon..."

Baoyu replied from the side, "How can the light of rice grains compete with the bright moon?"

Wang Xifeng clapped her hands and said, "That's right, I'm not as good as the old lady, but even though I'm not as good as the old lady, I still have the ability to treat guests to a meal. It's getting late now, why don't we use it first?" Can we talk about the meal?"
