[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

Xue Pan's daughter-in-law, that is, Luo Qi, came to Jia's house as a guest later, her clothes were not as soft and beautiful as when I saw them last time, but the simple beauty that did not conform to Xue's style of painting, she was obviously well-dressed and never seen before. I'm a bit rude, I don't know why it looks clean and neat.

The girls of Jia's family had never seen such a woman, and they all had a good impression of her for a while, but when Mrs. Xue's sister-in-law talked about the border affairs, everyone's eyes were full of longing, which was what they had been looking forward to all their lives. A world that may not be seen.Even Zhang Rui felt fascinated by the description in Xue Pan's wife's words.

Xue Baochai, who rarely came out to be a guest with her sister-in-law, bowed her head slightly. She really heard that her sister-in-law was a little dissatisfied with what her brother did, but her sister-in-law was always good to their mother and daughter, so she naturally didn't show it well. The change was from the day when she lost her mind Foot Takong almost fell down, but he never wanted to be supported by his sister-in-law.

The dissatisfaction dissipated, but when I met my sister-in-law by chance, my mood was a bit complicated. Except for my brother's affairs, my sister-in-law was honest and sincere with them.

"Sister-in-law Xue, have you really practiced martial arts?" Tanchun was very curious. In their family, only brothers can learn martial arts. No girl has ever gone back to learn martial arts, so she suddenly heard that there was a woman who practiced martial arts before. imagined.

Luo Qi nodded and said: "The folk customs in the border area are open. Of course I also learn the rules, but dancing with knives and guns is not a fake style."

Having said that, the group of people was a little ready to move. Zhang Rui saw it and cleared the place for them to play in the yard. They saw Xue Pan's daughter-in-law's martial arts with their own eyes. Anyone who is not an expert can see that this strength is really not like a trick. some.

After all, it was someone else's house, Luo Qi naturally knew not to go too far, and after a few brief demonstrations, she stopped her fist and stood aside.

Seeing her standing beside him, Zhang Rui asked with a smile, "Would it be hard for you as an aunt to learn this?"

Luo Qi cupped her hands respectfully and said: "There is indeed a bit of suffering, but I am not alone in the border town. I have a friend who, like me, grew up seeing these weapons since childhood. For us, this is normal. However, she is younger than me and doesn't have much talent in martial arts, but she is smarter than me, and she is better at reading than me, unlike me, the most difficult thing is studying."

"Oh?" Zhang Rui looked at Xue Pan's daughter-in-law curiously, and asked, "Are you still at the border?"

Luo Qi nodded first, then shook her head and said: "Her father is my father's superior, and now the border war has stopped, and she will return to the capital in three to five months."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said: "My good friend has only one daughter in their family, so my uncle has always wanted to choose a good husband for his daughter, but he also dislikes the border guards for being too rough and unworthy of my good friend. What about the son-in-law~"

"Whether it's good to go back to Beijing, parents probably don't want their daughter to marry and live in fear at the border."

"Yeah, not all women in Bianguan are as strong as me."

Zhang Rui was amused by her adjective, Xue Pan's daughter-in-law is not considered strong, but she is taller than most girls, and she looks a little conspicuous among a group of women who are not too tall.And she has a healthy sense of beauty, but the wives in the capital only use an adjective when they see this: "good fertility".

Wei Ruolan took part in the government examination in April. Because he knew that he wanted to stand up for the family, he was always serious about his homework, and his hard work paid off. He passed the examination very smoothly.

At his current age, being admitted as a scholar, although it is not a big deal in every family in the capital, but outsiders will still praise "youthful talent" when they mention it. Wei Yi'an is also very proud of his younger brother. She wanted to go back and celebrate her brother in person.

And not long after he took the exam, Wei Ruolan specially came to his grandmother's yard and proposed to move back to Wei's old house.

"You're still young, wouldn't it be appropriate to move back after getting married?" Zhang Rui really didn't know where he was from, he was only 13 years old, would it be okay to go back?

Wei Ruolan finally made a decision after several days of thinking, and he was also reluctant to part with his grandmother and Wei'er Baoyu, but he would go back to his home sooner or later, so it would be better to go earlier, so he raised his head and said to his grandmother seriously: " Ruolan also hates you, but I'm an adult now, and I should learn to deal with these problems by myself, isn't that why you gradually handed over the Wei family property to Ruolan before?"

Zhang Rui really wanted him to temper himself, but he never thought about letting a 13-year-old child live alone in such a big house~

However, in ancient times, 13-year-olds can get married, so naturally they can't really be treated as children, Zhang Rui persuaded him a few words and saw that he was still firm, so he tentatively asked: "Why don't I discuss with the Xue family to advance your wedding date? If you become a husband and wife and depend on each other, it's better than being there by yourself, some things should be handled by women."

Wei Ruolan blushed slightly, nodded slightly after a while, and said, "Please trouble grandma."

Zhang Rui waved his hand and said, "What's the trouble? It's also my fault. I didn't think carefully when I set the date."

So in the next day, when there was time, Zhang Rui went to Xue's house in person. Whether it was their side repeating the matter, they still had to beg solemnly.

Mrs. Xue Wang was a little surprised, but after asking the reason, she understood, but the wedding date was suddenly brought forward, and they still had some troubles, so she asked, "When do you think it is appropriate to get married?"

Although Zhang Rui has been used to it for so many years, it is still difficult for her to open her mouth when she is too young to get married. She can only ask tentatively: "How about the beginning of the year next year? It happens to be an auspicious day. We can make it in time if we leave it for more than a year." Make arrangements for the marriage so that it won't be too busy."

Since Baochai was one year older than Wei Ruolan, it was considered appropriate to get married at that time, so Wang Xue nodded and agreed.

After returning to Rongguo Mansion, Zhang Rui told Wei Ruolan the date of the marriage, and then persuaded him: "I know you have a strong sense of responsibility, but now that the date of marriage has been brought forward, the courtyard that was refurbished when your sister got married may still be a bit inadequate. The house needs to be cleaned up quickly, it’s a mess over there, why not move back later, so as not to delay your study.”

Naturally, Wei Ruolan had no objection, and continued to read with peace of mind.

After successfully keeping him, Zhang Rui sat in the yard in a good mood to bask in the sun for several days. As soon as Jia Hu came in, he saw that his grandmother was very happy, and when he approached, he sat quietly beside her.

It was Zhang Rui who felt strange around him, opened his eyes and saw Jia Hu beside him, and asked with a smile, "Are you busy today?"

Jia Hu shook her head with a smile, took the cattail fan from the maidservant, and said while helping her grandmother repel the mosquitoes, "There are endless things to do, and it is right to spend time with you."

"I'm not reluctant." Zhang Rui said with a smile in his eyes.

"The grandson voluntarily."

"Aren't your mother and your daughter-in-law preparing for the Spring Festival wedding? How is it going?" In the past, everything in the mansion had to be reported to her. In the past two years, after Zhang Rui told her not to report everything, she As for the progress of anything in the mansion, I just ask whoever I see.

Jia Hu also knew it, so she replied carefully: "The dowry is arranged by the mother according to the share of our family's concubines. The wedding is hosted by Yao'er, and everything is going well so far."

"En." Jia Hu's voice was also soothing, and with the sun shining on his body, Zhang Rui couldn't help but closed his eyes again, and said softly: "The little Zhuangzi I prepared for the Spring Festival, you will give it to me when the time comes." her."

Jia Hu objected, "Yingchun is my grandson's younger sister after all, and my grandson has prepared a dowry for her, how can I take advantage of you?"

"They don't know how much hard work you have put in for our family, so I can only think of these favors to express my feelings for you. You are so glorious."

Jia Hu hooked his lips, and did not refute, but mentioned another purpose of his visit today: "Grandma, do you want second uncle to come back?"

Zhang Rui opened his eyes instantly, and asked in surprise, "You suddenly said that...?"

"Second Uncle's performance evaluation over there is good, so the official department intends to promote Second Uncle and transfer him to another place. If you want Second Uncle to come back, grandson can go to exercise. It happens that there are vacancies around the capital, and it will not take much effort." Uncle is better and more stable, but Jia Hu is always worried that if grandma misses second uncle when she gets old, she will keep it to herself.

However, Zhang Rui didn't think about Jia Zheng at all, but suddenly asked, "Your second uncle...how long has it been since you left?"

Jia Humo, the co-authoring grandmother doesn't even remember how long the second uncle has been away. If he makes excuses to say that the grandmother misses the second uncle, he has no way to convince himself.So he could only reply indifferently: "Second Uncle has been released for more than eight years."

Zhang Rui thought about it in his heart, it seems to be the case, but a few years is not too important, he waved casually, and said: "He didn't say in the letter that he wanted to come back. Since he can be promoted by his own ability, there is no need for us to interfere." .”

Jia Hu, who was no longer surprised by such a result, nodded, and then said another thing: "I want Weier, Baoyuhuaner and the three of them to go back to the south for the test in the ethnology. , just in time to take the quiz next spring together, and then come back together."

Zhang Rui's first reaction was, "Baoyu is willing to go?"

Jia Hu looked at his grandmother with some puzzlement, "So what if you don't want to? Grandma is too lenient. How can the descendants of our Jia family not even be able to support themselves? Since he doesn't have much advantage elsewhere, he can do it without studying the imperial examination." What?"

Well, Zhang Rui felt that she couldn't persuade Jia Hu with his current aura, so she could only sympathize with Baoyu in her heart, and then she would bless him happily when he left.
