[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

Jia Mu nodded and said, "It is true."

After hearing this, Jia Lian really didn't know whether the future sister-in-law Zhu was lucky or unlucky. After all, the mother-in-law's youngest son Zhengxiao probably didn't have time to find fault with his daughter-in-law, but the housekeeper didn't have much time to teach.Of course, this is all about the second room, and Jia Lian is concerned about another point——

"It's impossible for my brother Zhu's marriage to be arranged by a younger brother, right?" If it was true, this would be absurd.

"Of course not." Jia Lian's expression was too obvious, so Jia's mother glared at him and said, "I'm old and my energy is low, so I need your help."

"Assist..." Jia Lian's shoulders relaxed, and he said with a smile, "You should have said it earlier to scare your grandson, how can your grandson's thin shoulders bear too much too early?"

Jia Mu has already understood his virtues during this time, and now she doesn't want to use words to urge him to make progress, but starts to change the way.Today, he is going to retreat first to appease him, and when the time comes, it will be up to their grandparents who will win.

So she directly waved her hand and said, "It's just for assistance. You don't care about your mother's dowry. Grandma will see it. If you refuse again, it will be unreasonable."

Sure enough, Jia Lian did not resolutely refuse, but still said: "The grandson will help the second aunt to give birth."

In my heart, I decided to help my second aunt until her confinement, but gradually Jia Lian found out that when he said it, he was obviously helping, but he had more and more things every day, and he could handle it, but he was very irritable, so the more In the end, I became more impatient and wished that life would pass faster. Second Aunt had better give birth to that baby lump as soon as possible.

All the men in the family don’t care about things. As for the women who want to control, one has a big belly and the other is not greedy enough to worry about her causing trouble. The only time when Jia Lian is at ease is when Jia Zhu comes back from vacation. Even if he still has to show up, Jia Zhu will take care of it. Then he can relax for a while.

After finally sending away a supervisor, Jia Lian let out a long sigh and slumped on the chair, saying: "Sure enough, people don't have much motivation to do things they don't like. Do you think it's hard to deal with these things or hard to study?"

"It's not hard work..." Jia Zhu hesitated after speaking, but said honestly: "It's true that the housework is a little tiring, and I don't understand mother's hard work when I'm not doing it."

"I didn't ask you to make you appreciate Second Aunt's hard work." Jia Lian complained late, staring at the roof in a daze, and said quietly: "Second Aunt's housekeeper may be as motivated as you are studying!"

Jia Zhu paused while holding the pen, thinking that her mother was very high-spirited when she was really the housekeeper, and she was a little lethargic recently because she was pregnant and had nothing to do, so she couldn't laugh or cry: "It makes sense."

"Really?" Jia Lian turned his head and saw what Jia Zhu was writing, stood up curiously and walked to him, asking, "What did Big Brother Zhu write?"

Jia Zhu picked up the paper and blew it lightly, turned around to show Jia Lian, and said, "I wrote back to my fiancée."

Jia Lian didn't want to read the private letters of his fiancée, so he took a step back, but remembering that he saw the beginning of the letter just now, if he didn't know it, he thought it was written to a classmate. : "I've already told you that you're boring. It's rare that you ignore etiquette. How dare you write letters to your future sister-in-law so rigidly?"

Jia Zhu glanced at her letter, "I think it's very good for my brother."

Although Jia Lian was still very disgusted, but thinking that Jia Zhu, a boring gourd, knew how to get in touch with his fiancée, but he hadn't had any contact with Wang Xifeng for such a long time.

Although in this day and age people pay attention to the differences between men and women and should avoid taboos, it's fine if married couples can't see each other. If he doesn't express anything at all, he feels that he should be miserable after marriage.

So Jia Lian thought about it for two days, and then took the time to go out and look around, but he didn't see anything that caught the eye and was not very small. He was sure that he was really not good at sending things, and it was impossible to write like Jia Zhu. Such a polite letter.

However, I heard that the Wang family didn't pay much attention to cultivating their daughter's talent in poetry and calligraphy. He didn't have much literary talent, so Wang Xifeng probably wouldn't dislike her. Thinking of how much Wang Xifeng loves money in the original book, he took a bank note from his private room and stuffed it into an envelope.Because he didn't write anything that could not be seen by others, Jia Lian sent it to Wang's house just like last time. Needless to say, he knew it was for Wang Xifeng.

Jia Lian didn't care whether the elders of the Wang family would check, but when Wang Xifeng got the letter, she was worried that there was something embarrassing in it, and felt that Jia Lian's character should not have such a thing.

Opening the envelope with some indescribable expectations, Wang Xifeng saw some familiar marks as soon as he pulled it out. After opening it, it turned out to be a bank note with a considerable amount.Picking up another piece of paper, there are still a few words written concisely: "For you, you can buy whatever you want."

Wang Xifeng's personal maid, Ping'er, saw the banknote from the side, and couldn't help laughing and said: "It's written in other people's family's sons who write love poems to send lovesickness, why is our future son-in-law so unconventional?"

"Isn't it good?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile while folding up the banknotes: "I'm an ordinary person, and I don't believe in those love poems. Only things that can be grasped in my hands are the most reassuring. "

"Miss is right. It seems that Master Lian understands you very well!"

Wang Xifeng did snort, and said with a smile: "It's because he understands me, it's obviously because he doesn't want to think about it."

Speaking of which, since Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian got engaged, because they didn't feel that life was any different from before, they never had any real feeling, and she didn't feel particularly concerned about being brought by her mother to teach the housekeeper.

On the contrary, my aunt was pregnant and my mother went to visit, and when she came back, she told her that my aunt repeatedly said that after she got married, she would be able to help her manage the house with Jia Lian, and her mother was very happy that her aunt valued her, but Wang Xifeng had other ideas .

She heard that now Jia Lian is almost equivalent to being a housekeeper, and she didn't say anything about helping anyone at all. If she was married and let her be in a lower position, she must be a little unbalanced in her heart, but she felt ashamed of her aunt's treatment of her. favorite.

But it's too early to say these things now, so she just happily put away the bank notes that Jia Lian gave her.

On the other hand, Jia Lian was still busy in dire straits. He had to deal with the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion and his own affairs, but his little property was almost settled, and he could deal with it regularly.

Only the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion had its own set of rules and regulations, and he felt that there was no need to touch the sensitive nerves of some people, so originally Jia Lian wanted to continue to operate in the original way.But after a long time, I was the one who was affected, so I could only detail the affairs of each department and hand them over to the steward. If something went wrong, I would even sit with the steward.

By the time of the new year, Jia Lian's body is already used to being busy, but even if he handles it with ease, he still feels terrible as a person who yearns for dandies. If one day he becomes the kind of person who has nothing to do and is at a loss, it's too pitiful up.

During the Chinese New Year, we have to exchange new year gifts with relatives and friends. Jia Lian looked at the long list made by the old lady and the second aunt, and felt deeply attached to each other.He himself is used to being clear at a glance, so he specially had someone cut the paper and bind it into a book. All the family members of the Jia family are listed on it one by one, so that it is clear when giving gifts, and it is difficult to make mistakes after comparison.

Then in the new year, Mrs. Wang's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day. Jia Lian doesn't need to care about the childbirth, but because the old lady's thoughts are devoted to her and the soon-to-be-married Jia Zhu, she hardly cares about the affairs of the house. I found him here, and I have seen a lot and gained a lot of knowledge.

On April 26, as soon as Jia Lian got up, he heard that his second aunt had mobilized. One of his nephews didn't need to go there, so he sent someone to inform Mrs. Xing.

The old lady probably wasn't in her own yard either, so he didn't need to go to pay his respects, so he just ate something and went for a walk in the garden to digest his food.After walking around the garden twice, I saw the maid next to my grandmother.

"Second Master Lian, Madam invites you to come over."

"Has Second Aunt given birth?"

"Second Master Hui Lian has given birth to a young master!" The servant girl said with a big smile on her face, "And there is a big happy event!"

"what happened?"

"Our new young master was born from Hanyu, what a blessing this is!"

The maid was beaming with joy, but Jia Lian was not very happy when she heard it, but raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

When he arrived at the second aunt's courtyard, he saw that everyone was as happy as the little girl who had just come to see him, so he went straight to the happy grandmother, said hello to his stepmother and second uncle, and then said to the grandmother: "Grandmother, why did you call your grandson here?"

Mother Jia laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth and said, "Your second aunt has given birth to a very blessed brother for our family. I want you to get ready to celebrate."

Jia Lian didn't say anything, but asked, "Is my cousin in the house?"

"Yes, I'll take you to the next room to clean up." After finishing speaking, Jia's mother took Jia Lian's hand and said, "Come on, let's go in and see your little cousin."

Jia Lian obediently followed and walked in, and saw the baby in the swaddling cradle who was full and sleeping soundly. He had never seen a newborn, but he also heard that when a baby was born, it was all red and not very beautiful. , but this child is different, the exposed face is fair and lovely, it makes people like it very much.

Mother Jia looked at her little grandson lovingly, unwilling to move her eyes away, "Everyone in the house will reward such a happy event! Then we will send people to notify relatives and friends." While lovingly stroking the jade hanging around the child's neck, this is what she asked to hang on a rope just now.

And Jia Lian looked at the round stone... well, it might indeed be jade from the luster, but I really can't imagine what it would look like to hold it in my mouth. luck.
