Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

What Grandma Lai said was followed by laughter for a while, Mrs. Zhang pulled Wang Xifeng to complain, and said,

"Forget it, since Sister Lu has the old lady and mothers as backers, we can't get her money anymore. Those people who walk around the streets have said it well, the rich give money, and some If your sister can't afford the money, then I'll take her to celebrate your birthday with you, anyway, it's time for her to learn!"

Mrs. Zhang's words also made everyone laugh, but there was a little stagnation in the laughter. Those smart people looked at the old lady and the wife, although what Zhang said was cryptic, but in the For this group of people rolling around in the inner house, it can be said that they can't understand it very well. She is clearly expressing dissatisfaction with Rongfu's education of the fourth girl on behalf of Ningfu or making a point. The eldest wife and the second wife sat upright. She is as stable as Mount Tai, and she is not her own daughter, nor is she responsible for her upbringing reputation, let's see what the old lady says!

Jia Lu was called by the old lady Tete from Dongfu. Jia Lu's upbringing was her business, and she couldn't avoid it. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Jia Lu lovingly, and then at her other three. A granddaughter, they all implicitly expect to have to look at themselves.

Compared with Jia Lu, they are older, and they have a stronger desire to learn about these housework. Jia Lu returned home, and Zhang Shi was there to teach them. As for them, Daiyu needless to say, both parents If you die, you have to rely on Jia Mu.

The second girl welcomes the spring, her aunt Chen is very kind to her, but Chen's own housekeeping skills are not as good as Wang Xifeng and others, and she has always valued rules over human feelings. In addition, she has not touched family affairs for many years, and now she is just trying to protect herself. , How can there be such a leisurely way to teach this cheap girl.

As for the third girl Tanchun, Wang and she are lucky to be able to maintain the superficial filial piety of a mother and daughter. How can we ask for more?

Jia Mu then said,

"It's also about this time. In a blink of an eye, their little sisters are also grown up, and it's time to learn these things. It's just me who is stupid, and I forgot this time!"

This move of retreating into advance is really good. Jia Lu gave her a thumbs up in her heart. She can say that she is wrong, but others cannot say that she is wrong. Instead, she has to bear the mistake herself.

This is not the eldest wife, the second wife all stood up, and hurriedly confessed, "Old lady, it's all the daughter-in-law's fault." Wait and see.

Mother Jia didn't want to pursue their problems, so she said, "Forget it, I know that you two are like Buddhas, you don't care about common things, and I can't ask you, Feng girl!"

"Hey!" Wang Xifeng responded.

Mother Jia thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "These days are your good days, so I won't bother you anymore. After this period of time, when you are in charge, take some of your sisters with you so that you can teach me a thing or two! "

Wang Xifeng responded, "Okay, old lady, just don't worry, the younger sisters are all very smart, girls from other families have to study for three to five years before they can become teachers, and there are only three or five in our family. I can beat ten of me in a month!"

Wang Xifeng was always good at talking, and the girls were very flattered by what she said, and the old lady was very pleased.

Jia Mu said to Zhang Shi again, "Don't favor one another, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Yu'er are also your younger sisters, let them have a birthday with them, you can relax one or two, and you can be regarded as a couple of them. Feng girl's usual care has been rewarded!"

Zhang said, "Look at what the old lady said, someone will help me, I'd like it before it's too late, how could you disagree?"

Then he said to the sisters, "Let's go, girls, you have to work on your brains, but you have to help my sister-in-law think about how to satisfy your sister Feng!"

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Xue Baochai, she was thoughtful, and he said again, "Miss Bao also come along, I know Miss Bao is capable, the crab feast that Miss Shi invited last time was thanks to you, you Let's help out one or two too!"

Xue Baochai didn't think that she still had her own affairs, and she didn't dare to make decisions on her own. She looked at Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue hadn't spoken yet. Mrs. Wang said,

"Baby girl, let's go together, you little sisters are used to it, and you are careful, take care of your little sisters!"

Aunt Xue also nodded and said, "Then you go!"

Only then did Xue Baochai agree, and several girls went out with Mrs. Zhang, and saw Baoyu walking behind their buttocks. Mrs. Wang saw it and shouted,

"Baoyu, what are you going to do! Come to Mother quickly!"

Jia Baoyu hesitated, and said, "Madam, I also want to go with me to celebrate Sister Feng's birthday!"

Seeing his ignorant look, Wang Xifeng couldn't hold his hand at first, and laughed so hard that he leaned forward and back together, and said, "This is not what you should do as a man, even if you are filial, I am not in it, old lady, look at him for being fooled!"

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "Baoyu, don't go, let your sisters get it, you don't need it!"

Jia Baoyu was forced to stay in this way.

The sisters over there were discussing how to sit, what dishes to use, what dishes to eat, what plays to listen to, what storytellers to hire, etc. Gradually, some people came to pay a part of the money. She remembered that most of them were delivered in the evening, but two copies were missing, one was from Li Wan, and the other was from Aunt Zhao. Tanchun felt his face was getting hot, and hurriedly said ,

"Let me take the aunt's share!"

Seeing that her eyes were a little red, and the sisters couldn't bear it, Zhang Shi sighed, put his arms around Tan Chun's shoulders and said,

"Look at you seriously, this is just to make the old lady happy, Aunt Zhao has been ill for a long time, how can she have the spare money to do this work, it must be Feng girl who is making troubles there, so I will make the decision , I will go to the aunt's family, but you have to promise me, don't say it out!"

Jia Tanchun stood up, and hurriedly said, "What can I do, isn't it all due to my sister-in-law?"

Seeing her anxious look, Mrs. Zhang, except for Xue Baochai who seemed to have expected it earlier, everyone else showed disapproval.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, and thought to herself, no wonder the old lady said that the girls from the Xue family are not as good as the girls from the Xue family. Now it seems that they are far behind in this worldly way, but after all, the girls from her family can’t write with a single stroke. Come out with a word Jia, and give some pointers, and then say,

"You guys, don't always think about whether nails are nails or riveting. This kind of human relationship is not about it. This so-called gangster is just trying to make old ladies and wives happy. Except for aunts, like mandarin ducks, Caiyun, Ping'er and others have to pay back, and it's not easy for them who are maids, so why bother to ask for their money?"

Tanchun calculated according to Zhang's statement, frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't that only 100 taels of silver? Is it possible to have a decent birthday?"

Zhang said, "If it is enough, 20 taels of silver can be done once, if it is not enough, 2000 taels of silver can't be done."

Yingchun asked, "What's wrong with that?"
