Jia Lian didn't expect that Jia Mu would invite him over. Except for New Year's Day, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten at Rongqing Hall.
After tidying up, I took Ping'er and Xiangling to Rongqing Hall.
Rongqing Hall seemed a little quiet. When Jia Lian saw Jia Baoyu, he was back. Jia Mu was patting him on the back and saying something, while Daiyu was sitting alone on the other side, with her little mouth pouting in grievance, her face The tear stains are still wet.
Jia Lian then guessed that Jia Baoyu probably dropped the jade just now.
This damn plot fit!
He stepped forward and saluted Jia Mu. Looking at Daiyu who had stood up and looked at him silently, Jia Lian smiled and said, "Why are you crying again? But who bullied you?"
Jia's mother, who was comforting Jia Baoyu, realized that she had ignored Daiyu, so she sighed: "No one bullied me, but just now your brother Bao was sick again and smashed his jade without any reason. Your sister Lin Xu I was scared."
With that said, Jia Mu turned around and held Daiyu in her arms, comforting her.
The hall became even quieter for a while, with only the sound of Jia Mu coaxing her grandson and granddaughter.
Jia Lian took another look at the people around him. For some reason, Wang Xifeng, who was always good at warming up the crowd, stood at the back of the crowd and did not stand out.
Jia Lian showed her a not-so-bad-hearted smile, and then said: "In my opinion, Brother Bao may not be sick. I'm afraid that when he saw Sister Lin coming to our house, he felt happy, but didn't know how to express it, so he used the smash Jade comes to show it."
Hearing this, Jia Baoyu, who was originally embarrassed, looked at Daiyu and nodded crazily.
Jia Lian then said to Jia Baoyu again: "Brother Bao, I'm not talking about you. Sister Lin is a guest from afar, and you are my cousin. You should be more polite and pay more attention to your behavior. Just like the old lady and Mrs. I love you so much that I can't help but see that there is nothing wrong with you. If you scared Sister Lin, wouldn't Uncle Lin who is far away in Yangzhou also feel very distressed?
Uncle Lin only agreed to send Sister Lin to our home for the sake of the old lady. Before leaving, he repeatedly told me that I would take good care of Sister Lin. Therefore, if you offend her, even if the old lady is unhappy, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to get over it. "
Jia Baoyu hated being preached to by others the most in his life, but Jia Lian was his elder brother and used big principles to pressure him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He could not retort, so he just kept silent.
Mrs. Wang was a little unhappy when she saw that Jia Lian's aura meant to suppress Jia Baoyu, but she didn't say anything.
Mother Jia, on the other hand, seemed to feel a little distressed and said: "Well, I really don't see you anymore. You used to be a person who ignored things that didn't concern yourself. Why did you go to the south and talk so much?
They are children playing around, so there is nothing wrong with you saying this to scare them. "
Jia Lian smiled and cupped his hands, "What the ancestor said is true, but Bai gave him a few words. I think Sister Lin will not suffer any more grievances because of the pain of the old lady."
Jia Lian wants to respect Jia Mu, but there is no need to be afraid of saying anything that may displease her. As for Mrs. Wang, she can stay wherever she can. She is the most disgusting person who has enslaved his wife for so many years and finally kicked her away.
Of course, this cannot be said face to face, as the relationship between the two elders is at the top.
Jia Lian didn't take Jia Mu's words to heart, but when Daiyu saw her, she burst into tears.
Brother Lian was scolded by the old lady because of her...
Daiyu entered Jia's house for the first time at this time, which was the most sensitive time.
Just now, Jia Baoyu was pestering her to talk, but he didn't say anything about dealing with her. Without saying a word, Jia Baoyu took off the jade he was wearing and threw it on the ground.
Besides, she could also see that Jia Baoyu was not angry at her, but that there seemed to be something wrong with him. However, when the others saw this, it was as if something earth-shattering had happened, and everyone got into chaos, which frightened her a little.
What saddened her the most was that Jia's mother, who had clearly loved her very much before, saw that Jia Baoyu was "sick", and immediately couldn't care about anything else. She only took Jia Baoyu to comfort her, completely leaving her behind. . Could it be that she is blaming me for offending Brother Bao?
From this, Daiyu finally understood what it means that the person the old lady loved the most was Master Bao, and she understood even more clearly that no matter how much the old lady loved her, she would eventually be ranked below Baoyu.
This was her most intuitive feeling just now, and she also knew that the reaction in that situation was the most undeceiving.
In contrast, Jia Lian criticized Jia Baoyu's behavior of supporting her in front of the old lady and his wife as soon as she showed up, just because she saw a bad look on her face, which moved her very much.
Jia Lian didn't intend to make a fuss. Anyway, when Daiyu arrived at Jia's house, she would definitely be raised by Jia's mother. He couldn't snatch Daiyu away and raise her in his courtyard, right?
In this case, it is inevitable for Daiyu and Jia Baoyu to meet every day.
Fortunately, Jia Baoyu is just a careless little kid, so there should be no threat for the time being...
So he asked Ping'er to bring up the gifts he had prepared for Yingchun and the others, and planned to have three little girls liven up the atmosphere after Wang Xifeng was fucked by him.
Of course there are also Jia Baoyu, not many.
Seeing that Yingchun and others got the gifts they liked, Jia Mu was very happy and kept thanking Jia Lian. The brother and sister were in a rare harmony, and Jia Mu became happy again.
When Wang Xifeng said that the meal was set in the dining room, she waved her hand to Yingchun and the others and said, "Okay, let's see how happy you are. Put everything away and take a good look after eating."
Jia's mother was not a stingy person, and she would not really hold a grudge because Jia Lian was not polite to Jia Baoyu for a while.
When they arrived at the banquet, she still took good care of Jia Lian. After all, she said herself that this was a reception banquet for Jia Lian and Daiyu.
Thanks to their influence, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng were able to sit at a table next to each other and eat together.
After finishing the meal, it was time for tea and chat.
Jia Lian tilted his head and said to Ping'er: "You can take Xiangling down for dinner."
Then he told Xiang Ling alone: "Follow your sister Ping'er more from now on. If you don't understand anything, just ask her. You don't have to come over again after dinner. Just go back to rest. If you can't find the way, just go I asked your sister Ping'er to give it to you, got it?"
The Xiangling chick nodded like it was pecking at rice.
Jia Lian felt a little emotional. Xiangling was too obedient and had a weak personality. She would not feel at ease once she left him, so she could only leave it to Ping'er.
Everyone was sitting and drinking tea, the lights were bright, and except for the maids and women standing around, everyone's every move was seen.
Jia Lian's small actions and even what he said to Xiang Ling were heard.
Some people had their own thoughts, but Jia Erbao seemed to have just seen such an outstanding girl beside Jia Lian at this time, and his eyes were straightened for a moment.
When Xiangling left with Ping'er, she quickly inquired about Wang Xifeng, Yingchun and others.
There was nothing to hide about this matter, and everyone was happy to tell it as a news story.
Jia Baoyu clapped her hands after hearing this: "Excellent, excellent, excellent. It's a good thing that such a good person was met by Brother Lian. Otherwise, how could he come to our house? If he wandered outside and was seen by those dirty-hearted people, Aren’t you being poisoned alive?”
Jia Lian chuckled. He was being praised by Mr. Bao, who was above his head. At least, in his eyes, he was not a filthy person? After Jia Baoyu finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Lian, stood up, walked to Jia Mu's ear, and whispered something like candy, which could not be heard even from a distance.
But after hearing this, Jia Mu glanced at Jia Baoyu briefly, asked him to sit down, and was speechless for a while.
After everyone drank some more tea, Jia Mu looked at Jia Lian and said with a smile: "Lian'er, looking at your appearance just now, it seems that you are very satisfied with the girl you brought back?"
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows. Could it be that Jia Erbao really wanted to steal his people, so he encouraged Jia Mu to be a lobbyist?
If he really dares to do this, break some of his little kid's ribs!
"Look what our ancestors said, who wouldn't like such a good girl? When we were on the boat, Sister Lin also wanted it, but I didn't give it to her."
Daiyu glanced at Jia Lian, hummed and said nothing. She didn't, Brother Lian loved to make up lies.
"Haha, aren't you afraid that Feng girl will be jealous?"
Jia Mu smiled and glanced at Wang Xifeng. Without saying anything, everyone understood the meaning in her eyes.
Wang Xifeng wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. It was all because of her heartlessness, and she received so many incomprehensible looks...
Jia Lian also glanced at Wang Xifeng, shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid, if she dares to be jealous, her arms will be broken by her."
"Hehehe..."
Jia Lian's words immediately made everyone laugh. Even Mrs. Wang, a person with a dull face for thousands of years, shook her head, feeling amused by Jia Lian's confidence.
Wang Xifeng looked over with a sullen expression, not knowing what to say.
If you dare to poke my arm, I'll bite off a piece of meat for you!
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Although you can convince her, I don't want to see the chaos in your courtyard all day long.
I thought, since you already have such a good girl, the little girl named Qingwen, why not give it to your precious brother.
They will also move out of my house next year. I am thinking of choosing a few capable people to serve them, but I don't want your brother Bao to also take a fancy to that girl. You said just now that the elder brother should give way to the younger one. Maybe you should also give way to your precious brother? "
Jia Mu's words shocked everyone.
I had only heard about the conflict between brothers in a family fighting for a maid. I had only heard about it from other families before, and had never encountered it before.
But I didn't really take it to heart, thinking that what Jia Mu said was so reasonable, and with Second Master Lian's temperament, he might not really care about such a little girl, so he would definitely agree.
Many people think so. After all, in their hearts, Jia Mu's words are like an imperial decree. Who dares to disobey her?
