Jia Mansion·Rongqing Hall
It was the time of Xu Zheng, the lights in the wing were still on, and laughter and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Jia's mother was playing dominoes in the company of Sister Feng and Li Wan. Since Mrs. Wang didn't play much with these things on weekdays, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't look like they were sitting at the same card table, Sister Feng asked Youshi from Dongfu to accompany her.
The maid Yuanyang and several maids from Jia Mu's house were waiting on Qian'er.
In a side room separated by a glass screen in the distance, Ying, Tan, Xi, and Baodai were gathered around a table. They seemed to be in couplets. Several maids from the mansion were busy pouring tea and passing fruits. stop.
Speaking of which, it was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the old man had less sleep, so Jia Mu spent more time playing in the past two days.
Of course, entertainment activities were scarce in this era. The men of the Jia family were in brothels and gambling houses, the women at home listened to plays and played cards, and the servants and servants... drank and gambled. They really went about their own business without interfering with each other.
Sister Feng seemed to have lost a few pennies, and Guazi had a unhappy look on her face, sighing and looking sour, which made the old lady laugh non-stop, and even Youshi was joking on the side, talking and laughing. , of course, there was a large table of people coaxing the old lady to be happy alone.
Mother Jia's temples were as silver as silver and she looked very old. However, the old lady of the Jia Mansion smiled kindly and said with a smile: "Madam, if the girls are sleepy, please go back and rest first."
It turned out that Mrs. Wang was sitting on the side table, with lights on and Jin Chuan at her side, reading a Buddhist scripture out of boredom. Perhaps she felt sleepy, so she gently closed the book, covered her mouth and yawned. .
"Madam, you have tea." The maid Jin Chuan quickly brought a cup of fragrant tea. Although Jin Chuan is young, her young face and teeth are already showing some beauty, but her eyebrows seem to contain a hidden secret. Unspeakably stubborn and unyielding.
Mrs. Wang took the tea and put it on the small table aside. She glanced at Baoyu who was talking to Daiyu, then smiled and replied to Jiamu: "Old lady, it's getting late. Why don't you let Baoyu?" Let's go back and rest, we have to meet the tutor tomorrow."
Interestingly, Baoyu actually lived with Lin Daiyu at Jia Mu's house, while Xue Baochai had not yet arrived in Kyoto.
Just as Chapter 20 said, Baoyu said to Daiyu: "You come first, we two will eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed. She has grown so big. She just came here. How can anyone leave you alone for her?" …”
It has been five or six years since Daiyu came to Kyoto when she was a child. The two grew up together in Jia Mu's bedroom. They were childhood sweethearts and their relationship gradually deepened.
"Brother, sisters, let's play for a while and don't worry about it. Just let him go later tomorrow." Jia Mu said, playing another domino, obviously not taking Baoyu's study seriously.
The noble families like them were originally the families of military meritorious officials. Without scholars, there would be nothing left.
Mrs. Wang smiled softly, with a complex emotion floating in her mind, and said nothing more.
She knew what the old lady was feeling, but...hey, Baoyu is still young, so he should be older.
Mrs. Wang still attaches great importance to Baoyu's education, but in view of her eldest son's experience, Mrs. Wang does not dare to push him too hard as before.
Especially after the Jia Zhu incident, the old lady had excluded Jia Zheng and his wife from taking the initiative in the children's education out of her preference for her grandson who was born with a jade in his head.
The so-called proper diet and daily life can be found in Jia Mu's place.
Even if it is a wedding in the future, Jia Mu will make the decision.
It can be said that Baoyu is Jia Mu's life...well, her eyes.
Mrs. Wang was both helpless and happy.
Mrs. Wang bowed to Jia Mu in the room and was about to go back with Jin Chuan and other maids.
Suddenly, a shout came from under the corridor of Rongqing Hall, and the person said: "Old lady, it's bad, Uncle Zhen in Dongfu is no longer useful..."
Before the servant entered the main hall of Rongqing Hall, he was stopped by Lin Zhixiao's family, who is known as deaf and mute. "What are you yelling about? Who is useless?"
The Rongqing Hall is full of female relatives from the Jia family, how can we allow the young man in the front yard to go in and collide?
"It's Uncle Zhen!"
The servant was out of breath and spoke.
It turned out that Jia Zhen was so angry that she fainted and was carried back to Ningguo Mansion by the servants of Dongfu. There was a lot of excitement in Ningguo Mansion. Jia Lian asked people to come to Rongfu to report the news, but no one knew who it was and started spreading the news. If so, it becomes Jia Zhen’s failure.
In the Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu, who was having fun, heard the shouting outside, stood up, and asked, "Who is useless?"
Lin Zhixiao's family came in and whispered: "The boy at the front door said that Uncle Zhen in the East Mansion..."
Jia Mu had not yet responded. Youshi, who was turning her head around, suddenly heard the bad news and felt as if she had been struck by thunder. Her beautiful, mature and charming face suddenly turned pale, and she felt her hands and feet were cold. She said sadly: " How could this happen?"
"Sister-in-law You." Sister Feng quickly went to help Mrs. You.
Jia Mu also slumped down on the stool, with red eyes, and said sadly: "Brother Zhen is only less than forty, how come..."
Although Jia Zhen is from Dongfu, she has watched her grow up. Although she is a bit playful and greedy, she is usually good, so why...
Li Wan's elegant and beautiful face without makeup also showed a touch of sadness, and he quickly comforted Jia Mu.
But she thought of her husband Jia Zhu, who had left early that morning.
Yuanyang immediately supported Jia Mu, her delicate and elegant face showing worry, and called out: "Old lady..."
Sister Feng's Liu Yemei frowned, and Danfeng's eyes were full of doubts. What's wrong? Didn't Jia Zhen and Jia Lian go to see Jia Heng today? No, there must be something famous inside!
"Ancestor, I haven't verified this matter yet, so I'll call someone here and ask." Sister Feng said softly.
Jia Mu also raised her head, looked at Lin Zhixiao's family, and asked, "Where are they? Come in and ask questions."
Lin Zhixiao's family whispered: "Old lady, this is the inner house..."
"What's the inner house and the outer house? Let people come over quickly and ask questions..." Jia Mu said.
Not long after, a servant came in. He didn't dare to look too much, knelt down, and was called "ma'am, old lady, eldest grandma, second grandma".
"Tell me quickly, Brother Zhen in the East Mansion, what's wrong?" Before the servant could continue to talk about what was there and what was not, Sister Feng's eyebrows were raised, and her pretty face was filled with evil, and she shouted.
"I heard from Qianmen that Uncle Zhen was carried back from Cuihong Building and passed out. He seemed to be in bad shape. By the way, Second Master Lian was also with him."
"Fuck your mother!" When she heard about Cuihonglou, Sister Feng was furious. Her eyes flashed with sternness, and she cursed. Realizing something was wrong, she shouted, "Where is the second master?"
You raised a beautiful face with a sad face, and said in a clear voice: "Where is the master now? Has the master come back?"
"Back to Grandma You, I'm in the East Mansion. I heard that people's faces are swollen..." the servant said with a look of fear on his face.
Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng: "..."
Youshi wiped the tears from her curved eyelashes, her beautiful face was stunned, her beautiful and soft face was a bit confused, and her pink lips twitched.
This... person's body became swollen just a short while ago?
All of a sudden, these words didn't sound like anything at all.
Sister Feng glared at the servant, looked to the side and said: "Old ancestor, he must be this servant who is neither serious nor serious. Hu Qin is scary. In the afternoon, the second master and I were having wine in Dongfu to celebrate Brother Zhen's birthday. Zhen The eldest brother said that he was going to find Uncle Heng in the back street to arrange a marriage, but he thought he was drunk..."
After such a commotion, Jia Mu also understood a little bit. She put the crutch in her hand on the ground and said angrily: "These servants talk nonsense and scare people in the middle of the night. It is getting more and more outrageous."
Lin Zhixiao's family quickly ordered and whispered: "Quickly, pull this dog out and slap it on the mouth."
The servant wanted to say a few words, but he was pulled out by two strong women and nuns.
