[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

Hearing the master's voice, Ping'er responded outside, then pushed the door open and walked in.Then Qingfu also came in, she was no longer by Jia Lian's side to serve her personally, but at this time Second Grandma came in, she was needed to help Second Grandma's servant girl to familiarize herself with the courtyard, so she stayed with her all the time.

After entering, seeing that the young master was not there, Qing Fu and the other two young maids stood by and watched Second Grandma's personal servant wait for her to change clothes.Wang Xifeng was a little strange when he saw it, so he asked, "Aren't you going to wait for the second master to change?"

The little maids didn't make a sound, Qingfu smiled and turned around, and said: "Go back to Second Mistress, the young master doesn't need me to wait for you to change clothes."

Wang Xifeng raised Liu Yemei in surprise. She remembered what Jia Lian said yesterday, but she never thought that Jia Lian didn't need a maid to change clothes, so she asked Qing Fu: "What else does Second Master have that you don't like, please tell me."

"Yes, Second Mistress." Qing Fu respectfully said, "Except for combing your hair, young master does most of the personal things by himself, except when you specifically request that you don't like to wear light-colored clothes, and you only have three or four dishes for each meal. besides……"

Jia Lian could hear outside voices in the bathroom, and after dawdling for a while, he felt that Wang Xifeng had already dressed properly before coming out. At this time, Wang Xifeng was still listening to Qing Fu's words, and didn't notice him.

Then Qing Fu stopped suddenly, and Wang Xifeng turned around.After the two looked at each other, she immediately looked away shyly, while Jia Lian shrugged and sat aside to wait for the maid to comb his hair.

After the couple finished tidying up, Jia Lian took a closer look and found that Wang Xifeng's movements didn't feel stagnant, so she knew that she was in good health, so he said, "Let's go to pay respects to parents first, and then go to grandma's place later. "

In fact, it’s okay to go directly to grandma’s place to offer tea, but usually the way to greet her is to go directly to grandma’s place. At this time, Jia Lian thinks that we should treat it differently, so Jia Lian told the elders before, and today the two of them will go to give tea separately. Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing served tea, and then took Wang Xifeng to the grandmother's place to meet relatives.

Wang Xifeng originally thought that she would go directly to the old lady's place, so the gifts she wanted to give to everyone were put together. At this time, after hearing Jia Lian's words, she immediately asked An'er to bring out the embroidery worksheets she made for her parents-in-law. .

When she went out, Wang Xifeng's dowry maid, Ping'er Xi'er, was taking care of her, so Jia Lian didn't reach out to help her outside. After all, even if she showed such affection, she might not be really good to her.

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing were waiting for Jia Lian and his wife in the main room of their courtyard. When they knew that Jia Lian would come over to greet them first, the two of them, especially Mrs. Xing, were very happy. At least Jia Lian let her go in terms of actions and etiquette. The ones in front of Mrs. Wang, in her opinion, showed that they valued them.

So when the young couple came to offer tea, Mrs. Xing didn't seem to worry about Wang Xifeng at all, and looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile all the way.

As for Wang Xifeng, she had heard from her aunt many times about her mother-in-law's personality and style, and she was inevitably biased when they met before. She never expected that on the first day she got married, this man treated her very well. I am more respectful.

Jia Amnesty didn't care whose niece his daughter-in-law was. In his opinion, if he couldn't control his own wife, it would be Jia Lian's incompetence.So after drinking Wang Xifeng's respectful tea, he asked the young servant to bring the gift he gave to Wang Xifeng, and said: "You two use the snacks to open up our big house as soon as possible."

Wang Xifeng was extremely embarrassed when the birthing words came out of her father-in-law, but Jia Lian knew that Jia She had such an unscrupulous character, so she replied with a smile: "When the time comes, your grandchildren will come and let their grandparents play with them. Dislike them for being noisy like you dislike your son."

"Of course you can't be compared with your grandchildren." As soon as Jia She finished speaking, Mrs. Xing immediately nodded, obviously agreeing with Jia She's words.

Then, regardless of the expressions of the young couple, Wang Shanbao's family brought a box over, and she handed it to Wang Xifeng with her own hands: "This is a gift from me as a mother, please accept it."

Although Wang Xifeng was a little surprised by the way the elders got along with each other, she did not refuse the gifts from the elders. After receiving them with her own hands, she thanked her parents-in-law and gave her a meeting gift made by herself.

Then Dafang and his party set off to Jiamu's yard.Because it was going around the front gate, the distance was relatively long. Jia Lian usually used to walk and exercise by himself, but with Wang Xifeng, he asked someone to prepare a sedan chair to walk with his father and stepmother.

When they arrived at the old lady's courtyard, the Ningguo Mansion and some members of the Jia family who were relatively senior were already waiting there.Jia Amnesty could sit down without hesitation, but Jia Lian wanted to express his apology to the elders for being late.

The status of the direct branch of the Rongning Second Mansion, the clansmen naturally would not and dare not have any opinions, and then Jia Lian began to take Wang Xifeng to formally get to know each other with the clansmen of the Jia family.

Wang Xifeng presented the gifts prepared by everyone in Jia's family one by one, but the gifts were different due to differences in closeness.The members of the Jia family didn't stay too long, they left after getting acquainted with Wang Xifeng, and the rest were of course the people from Rongning Second Mansion.

We had breakfast together at Mother Jia's place. The daughters-in-law stood behind the mother-in-law and waited for them to eat. All three of them accepted it with a natural expression.It is because of this that Jia Lian doesn't like to eat with the elders, but he can't shake the rules for the time being.

But Mother Jia was very lenient to these granddaughters-in-law, and let them all sit down for dinner after serving them a little.

Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law, Zeng Baoyan, was reticent, and Li Wan was not very outgoing, so when the women of this family were here, it turned out that Wang Xifeng was the most lovable and talkative.

Mother Jia liked Wang Xifeng very much, otherwise she would not have pushed for this marriage when Wang mentioned it.Although she had some conflicts with Mrs. Wang recently, she did not transfer her anger to Wang Xifeng, and always treated her very kindly.

While the women are talking here, the men naturally have to avoid it, so they sit for a while after the meal and then consciously leave.Baoyu was a precocious child. Hearing that they were leaving, he also stood up from the couch and shouted at Jia Lian, "Brother! Baoyu! Outside!" He pointed to the place outside the door as he spoke.

Although he knew it was because he didn't see each other often, Jia Zhu, his own brother, still gave Jia Lian a sour look, then stepped forward and hugged the boy in his arms regardless of Baoyu's struggle.

Mrs. Wang looked at Baoyu bitterly, although she still didn't like it, she still didn't stop her.

On the way out, Baoyu has been leaning on Jia Lian in Jia Zhu's arms, and stretching out his hand to Jia Lian, wanting to go into his arms.Jia Lian didn't immediately go over to take him over, but said triumphantly to Jia Zhu, "It seems that I still like you more than your children."

Jia Zhu didn't answer him, but asked Baoyu in a low voice: "Baoyu, don't you want Big Brother Zhu to hug you?"

"No, no." Baoyu twisted vigorously in Jia Zhu's arms a few times, and then yelled at Jia Lian, "Brother! Hug! Hug!"

Seeing that Baoyu was even more anxious, Jia Lian stretched out his hands and grabbed the back of his shirt with his right hand. He lifted it up and shook it, and Baoyu waved his stubby limbs in the air and giggled.

Jia Zhu has also reached the age to be a father, and there is a big difference in age from Baoyu, so naturally he will show preference unconsciously.Seeing that Baoyu didn't cry no matter how anxious he was from the beginning to the end, he couldn't help laughing, "This child has a good temper."

Paying attention not to strangle Baoyu's neck, he turned his right hand up and down. Seeing him laughing more happily, Jia Lian couldn't help laughing and said, "This little guy is really skinny! I rubbed him since he was a child, but he still likes to cling to me. You didn't see how nervous Second Aunt and Grandmother were when Baoyu was always being teased to the point of crying."

After Baoyu was born, he was fed well. Jia Lian felt a little sore after lifting it for a while, so he took him into his arms and held him.Baoyu still wanted to play, but his head dropped so hard that Jia Zhu hurried over and supported his head with both hands.

But Jia Lian called out "Baoyu", and then said coldly, "I can only play for a while, don't let me know?"

Baoyu already had a certain perception of what the lord said, plus he was very familiar with Jia Lian, as soon as he saw his expression, he immediately leaned into Jia Lian's arms honestly and aggrieved, and was no longer mischievous.

But Jia Lian actually felt that he was very heavy and wanted to be hugged by others, but Baoyu was so embarrassed that he didn't want to say no to hug him, so he had to adjust his posture to hug him and continue walking.

Seeing Baoyu's dependence on Jia Lian, Jia Zhu pinched his little nose with some jealousy, and pretended to be angry and said, "Baoyu, you are so heartless. When your brother goes out, don't you have to completely forget about him?" ?”

Baoyu turned his head back to face Jia Zhu. Jia Lian smiled and patted his butt lightly, and then asked Jia Zhu, "When are you going to Jinling next year to participate in the autumn?"

"I haven't communicated well yet." Speaking of this, Jia Zhu felt a little helpless, "I want to go there earlier, and I can go to my aunt's house to ask my uncle for advice, but my mother is against it."

"Why?" Jia Lian felt that it was unreasonable to leave Tanhua Lang alone, "I heard that Aunt Min seemed to have a relationship with Second Aunt when she was in her boudoir?"

Jia Zhu shook her head, "I'm not too sure about this, but it must not be true that my aunt never left us behind every time she came back with a gift."

Jia Min has been married for many years, the direction of this matter is because Mrs. Wang is the head of the family, there is no fair way to say, and they are just hearsay, so they brought it lightly.
