Weiyang of the Red Mansion

"Grandpa, why are you walking on the ground with bare feet?" Huaping heard the movement, and when he entered the room, he saw Jia Fu standing in front of the cabinet with bare feet, and said, he went to the screen to get his clothes, then ran to the bed to get his shoes and left. Going to Jia Fu, "Put on your shoes quickly. It's cold now. You don't even wear a coat, so you won't be afraid of the cold."

Jia Fu calmly threw the beads in his hand into the cabinet, then pushed the drawer back, and said calmly, "I just wanted to find something, but I was in a hurry and didn't take care of it," putting on his shoes while opening his hands Ask Huaping to dress him, "Is it still raining outside?"

"I'm afraid it will rain for several more days." Huaping replied while dressing Jia Fu.

Jia Fu stopped talking.

After I got dressed, I asked someone to serve dinner.

After the meal, I went back to the room to study the two beads, but when I opened the drawer, I saw the two beads stuck together again.

Jia Fu picked up the two beads that were stuck together, looked at them a few times, and then pulled them lightly, and the two beads were separated.

"What are these beads for?" muttered, Jia Fu turned around and lay down on the bed again, looking at the two beads in his hand.

After looking at it for a while, he felt a suction force between the two beads. Jia Fu used some strength to control the two beads, and then found that although there was a suction force between the two beads, it was not very strong. With a little force, the two beads could not move.

After thinking for a while, Jia Fu got up again and took out two ropes from the drawer, and then threaded the two beads separately, one was hung on the curtain at the head of the bed, and the other was hung on the curtain at the end of the bed.

After finishing these, Jia Fu sat on the bed and looked at the two beads.

After about a cup of tea, the two beads began to move, and the bed curtain was gradually drawn.

Jia Fu opened the bed curtain, took off the two beads, looked at the two beads, and couldn't help chuckling.

These two beads are actually attractive to each other, if he gave one of the beads to someone else, will the bead come back by itself someday?

Thinking of this, Jia Fu couldn't help laughing. Suddenly, Jia Fu remembered something.

Two days ago, his grandmother and mother told him about Duke Qi and the granddaughter of Prince Xining, and asked him which one he liked better.

My own grandmother, my mother, he has never even met, how can he answer this proposition?

But now...

Jia Fu probably had an idea in his mind, so he raised his voice and called Huaping in.

"Master, did you call me?"

Jia Fu handed the two beads in his hand to Huaping, "You tie these two beads together, um...you use blue thread for the transparent one, and red thread for the pink one. give it to me."

Huaping didn't ask any more questions, took the beads and withdrew.

It didn't take long to make the nets. In the evening, Jia Fu got two beads, and the nets were very delicate.

The maids who served him were all ingenious, especially those who came out of his grandmother's yard, and their handwork was excellent.

Hang the two beads around the waist, and it didn't take long for the two beads to stick together, looking like a pendant.

After ten and a half months like this, the Xifu suddenly became noisy at night.

"what happened?"

Huaping pushed the door open and came in, and replied, "I heard that the eldest wife of the West Mansion activated it in the middle of the night."

Hearing this, Jia Fu suddenly realized that when he went to Xifu last month, Aunt Tang's belly was very big, but she didn't expect to give birth after a month. Thinking of this, Jia Fu said, "It's all right, let's rest and go Bar."

He is the nephew in the next room, or a cousin, so naturally it is not his turn to go to the West Mansion to watch over the birth of the aunt.

The next morning, when Jia Fu was having dinner, he remembered the commotion last night and asked, "Is there any birth in the West Mansion?"

"It's born, it's born, it's a big fat boy." Qiu Ju replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Jia Fu changed his mind and said, "If I get married earlier according to my grandfather's wishes, this cousin will be three or four years older than my son, right?" The age difference is too big.

"What's so rare about this? There are people who don't have children until they are over half a hundred years old. The eldest wife of the West Mansion is considered a blessing. Although it took two or three years to get married, she won the pardon, but fortunately, the elder of the West Mansion is a loving wife. Listen Said that all the maids in the house have been dispatched, Uncle Xi is five years old now, and the eldest wife is in her twenties, and she is pregnant with this child again. Two sons, it can be regarded as a complete seated wife. The old lady of the West Mansion has nothing to say."

Jia Fu stuffed a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth. Hearing Qiu Ju's rambling, he couldn't help frowning, "Why do you inquire so clearly about the matter in the West Mansion? Master, if you continue to talk in private like this, I will marry you off, and you are at the right age now."

Qiu Ju's face turned pale, she apologized embarrassingly, and then stood at the door without speaking.

Painted the screen for Jia Fu, and then smiled to smooth things over, "It's not that I don't know that Qiu Ju is always open-mouthed, and she didn't intend to talk about the master in the West Mansion, besides, there is no need for the affairs of the West Mansion." Inquire, our Ningrong Second Mansion is next to each other, and the children in the mansion are all married to each other. Who didn't talk in private when they went back to the house to rest, and they all know about it? If you want to take this If Qiu Ju was punished for the matter, then everyone in our family should be sent out."

"You have a bad mouth." Jia Fu looked at the painting screen with a smile, "I just remind her to save her from saying what she should and should not say. I will not punish you. If you encounter that screw Master who is not easy to talk to, be careful that your little lives are gone."

"I will remind them a lot, don't tell them to go outside and talk nonsense, don't worry, sir."

Jia Fu didn't intend to reprimand and scare them, but just reminded them, so as not to offend others by speaking out loud.

But Huaping said so, anyway, it is the big maid beside him, who has served him for two years, and she still has to give the face that should be given.

What's more, Huaping was given by the old lady.

"Come on, teach them later, and Chunzhi and the others, they are young, you should pay more attention, so as not to offend people by talking nonsense outside." After Jia Fu finished speaking, he buried his head in his meal.

Seeing this, Huaping swallowed the words again.

After dinner, Jia Fu went to the study and practiced calligraphy for a while, then Jia Jing came over.

A few days ago, Jia Jing's injury healed, and he had been reading books with Jia Fu for three to five days. These days, he didn't have any negative emotions, and he came to study on time and on time.

Jia Fu gave him homework, so he left him alone.

Regarding Jia Jing's teaching method, Jia Fu chose to relax the management, assign homework directly, and complete it on time.

These years, because Jia Jing was always beaten by Jia Daihua, he was a bit shadowed about studying. Jia Fu didn’t want to force Jia Jing, for fear of amplifying Jia Jing’s distaste for studying, but he couldn’t let Jia Jing relax too much, so he just used it. Let Jia Jing learn this method for the time being, and ask him if there is anything you don’t understand.

After a few days like this, Jia Jing didn't see any impatience. He finished his homework obediently every day, and it was still within the time limit.

Jia Fu didn't think there was anything wrong with Jia Jing at all, so there was still a problem with Jia Daihua's education method.

After confirming this point, Jia Fu insisted on his own ideas even more.

On November [-]th, the Xifu held three baptisms for Jia Daishan's second son, and all the acquaintances came.

Jia Fu naturally also passed.

"This is Brother Fu, right?" Jia Fu heard the sound and looked, and saw an old acquaintance, Liu Lin, the second master of Li Guogong's mansion.

Jia Fu saluted with a smile, "Uncle Shi."

"You kid, you returned to Beijing last month, right? Maoer told you to send you a post, but you didn't go out of the house. Now you are getting lazy, and you don't even like to go out. Why do you look like a big girl? Did you actually learn how to go out of the gate without stepping through the second gate?"

Jia Fu laughed when he heard this, "It's not that Uncle Shi doesn't know that my nephew is not in good health. The weather has been cold recently, and my grandfather didn't ask me to go out, so I didn't go to the banquet. If there is any impoliteness, I will be in Huifang in the spring of next year. Would you like to have a banquet in the garden and invite Brother Mao to have a drink?"

"The scenery of Huifang Garden in your mansion is amazing. I will thank my nephew on behalf of Maoer." Liu Lin said with a smile.

Jia Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, five or six years ago this uncle was very out of tune, after several years, he really hasn't changed at all.

"By the way, are you engaged now?"

Jia Fu was taken aback when he heard this, and then laughed, "Uncle Shi, is he trying to marry me? If I remember correctly, you only have two sons, Brother Mao and Brother Xiao, under your knees, let alone a concubine daughter." None?"

"I don't have a daughter, but I have a niece," Liu Lin said with a smile, "I told you a few years ago, my eldest niece is really beautiful, nephew, I won't lie to you , you are definitely not bad for marrying my niece."

Why does this tone sound weird?You're not here for a kiss, are you here to sell your niece?

The corners of his mouth twitched, Jia Fu suddenly thought of something, looked at Liu Lin suspiciously and said, "I heard from my mother that Uncle Shi's niece is already talking about kissing, right?"

"Where, my eldest brother thinks my niece is beautiful and wants to send her into the palace. I see that my niece is not willing, and I ask her what kind of person she wants to marry. She tells me that she wants to be both talented and beautiful. Hey, I Hearing this, isn’t this just talking about you, nephew? In terms of good looks, which of the descendants of the aristocratic family in Beijing can compare to you? In terms of talent, it’s not a bad idea to take the Jieyuan examination at a young age, and it’s not bad that you will be the champion next year. Maybe."

Jia Fu heard it amused, "Uncle Shi, your eldest brother has already said that he will send Miss Liu to the palace, how could he have taken a fancy to me?"

In fact, he had never even seen the face of the eldest daughter of the Liu family, but this uncle was quite keen on reconciling him with his eldest niece, and actually took away the job of the matchmaker.

"Why don't you look down on you, my elder brother really likes you, it's just..." Dislike your poor health.

Halfway through Liu Lin's words, he realized something, quickly swallowed the rest of the words, and then said, "By the way, what's the name of your cousin's second son?"

Jia Fu: "..."

Uncle Shi, don't you think you turned the topic too bluntly?

"Uncle Shi doesn't need to be jealous. I know that Uncle Shi's eldest brother thinks that I am weak and may die someday. He doesn't want to marry my daughter to me and become a widow." Liu Lin continued what he had not finished speaking.

Liu Lin scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Nephew, don't mind. In fact, my eldest niece doesn't mind your weak body at all. If you want to, how about I let you two meet? I really think you and My eldest niece was a match made in heaven."

Jia Fu: "..." Emotional Uncle, you haven't lost your heart yet?
