Although there is a screen in the middle, the voices from one side can still be easily transmitted to the other side.
Seeing that the scene was somewhat silent, Mrs. Wang said apologetically: "Old lady, my wife and others didn't think carefully and forgot to call me Cong Xiaozi."
Mother Jia frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "It's not worth taking."
As he said that, he picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come, let's have a drink together."
Everyone quickly picked up their wine glasses and drank with Jia Mu.
On the other side, Jia Lian, Jia Zheng and others also had a drink with them, and then they all became casual.
When Jia Lian saw Jia Baoyu looking gloomy and drinking alone, he smiled and asked, "Brother Bao, is there anything bothering you?"
Jia Zheng also looked over. Jia Zheng was very dissatisfied because of Jia Baoyu's maverick behavior. What's more, on such a festive day, Jia Zheng made such an appearance, which made Jia Zheng couldn't help but snort coldly. A sound.
But for Jia Lian's sake, he didn't take the lead in scolding.
Jia Baoyu was so frightened by Jia Zheng's cold snort that he trembled and said quickly: "No, no, Brother Lian, I'll give you a toast and congratulate you on your triumphant victory..."
Even so, his reluctant look still betrayed his heart.
It turned out that Jia Baoyu knew that Daiyu was going to return home today, and Jia Baoyu had been prepared to welcome her early in the morning, and made up her mind to eliminate the gap between Daiyu and him.
Therefore, when Daiyu entered the house, he immediately started running forward and backward, helping Daiyu clean the house and leading her to visit Mrs. Wang and others.
Unexpectedly, Daiyu didn't appreciate his flattery at all and was very polite. It is said that Daiyu later gave her father's calligraphy, paintings, and various books as gifts to Sanchun and others, and did not take special care of him.
Instead, he investigated, and what he got was the bare minimum.
This made him very depressed and sad, thinking that no matter what he got in the past, he always gave the best to Daiyu.
Daiyu now treats him casually, which makes him feel very chilled.
"Nie Zhan, what's wrong with you? You're tired of wandering around all day long? You unimproved beast, I'll expose you again when I have some free time."
When Jia Zheng scolded him like this, Jia Baoyu immediately lowered his head and said nothing, like a quail.
Suddenly I heard Jia Mu's voice: "Baoyu, come here and toast your aunt and wife."
Jia Baoyu, as if he had been granted amnesty, stood up immediately, bowed to Jia Zheng, who had a black face, and then ran inside happily.
This scene made Jia Lan and Jia Huan sitting below suppress their laughter, looking like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Even Jia Lian smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
When Jia Cong was brought over, he looked anxious. He rarely came to such occasions, and he was still a little uneasy.
"Go over and kowtow to the old lady first."
"yes."
Just as Jia Cong was about to move, Jia Mu's voice came from above: "No need to come over, tell him to sit down and have a drink and two."
Jia Mu never hides her preferences, even for her sons and grandsons. In other words, she doesn't even hide her favoritism.
Jia Lian was not surprised and nodded to Jia Cong, "Sit down."
Jia Cong took the opportunity to sit next to Jia Huan.
Next, it’s time to drink and enjoy the show.
It was quite boring to have wine with Jia Mu and others, so when Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were almost finished drinking, he went in with Jia Lian and toasted Jia Mu two glasses of wine, then said goodbye and left.
Jia Lian also left on the grounds that there were some trivial matters that needed to be dealt with.
After confirming that Jia Zheng and others were gone, Jia Mu laughed and said, "It just so happens that the men's family has left, so we ladies can talk more freely."
In one sentence, all the women present laughed.
Just because the little actors had finished their performance, they came up to the hall and asked Jia Mu and others what music they wanted to listen to. Jia Mu took the playbook and clicked it casually, then suddenly asked the smart and charming little girl with a smile: "What's your name?" Name?"
"Old officer."
Jia Mu looked at her carefully, then suddenly smiled and said to the people around her: "I think this girl has a very good face."
Everyone didn't understand what Jia Mu meant at first, but after they took a closer look at the little actor, they suddenly understood. Many people glanced at Daiyu who was sitting with Baochai.
Just because this little actor's face and temperament are 78% similar to Daiyu.
Daiyu also discovered this keenly. She was very surprised why so many people looked similar to her.
In the past, second brother Lian said that Qingwen resembled her a lot, and even Xiangling and Qin Keqing looked a little like her, not to mention the fourth young lady of the Zhen family whom second brother mentioned last time in Jinling City. According to what the second brother said, the fourth young lady was almost the same as her!
Now, there is another little actor who is similar to her.
Huh, anyone who looks like this girl is very beautiful and obviously beautiful.
Daiyu took a closer look at the little actor and sighed inexplicably. But facing the smiling eyes of Sanchun, Baochai and others, Daiyu put aside her thoughts and put on a noncommittal look.
They must be laughing at me because I look like a little actor. Thinking of this, Daiyu felt a little unhappy again and glared at Baochai and others.
Jia Mu also knew that Daiyu was sensitive, so she just made a simple joke, rewarded the little actor with some fruit, and asked the little actor to go down. Then she suddenly asked Mrs. Wang and others: "I heard, how many people did Lian'er pay to these little actors?" A teacher who teaches music has already lived in Lixiangyuan?"
Mrs.
Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard this.
She dislikes those charming women the most, especially those who can easily lead to bad luck.
Thinking about this, Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Baoyu at Mother Jia's table. Sure enough, after hearing Mrs. Xing's words, his expression immediately became excited. He even abandoned his previous suspicion and asked Daiyu if what the eldest lady said was true.
Daiyu glanced at him and was too lazy to talk to him.
When she first learned of the existence of the four beauties that day, Daiyu was also suspicious of Jia Lian.
But when Jia Lian called those women to the boat and demonstrated their talents to her, Daiyu basically believed Jia Lian's words.
Those women, especially the one named Gu Qingyi, seemed to her to be elegant and refined, which was rare in the world.
It makes sense for Jia Lian to love such women and give them a helping hand.
Hearing everyone's chatter, Jia Mu glanced at Sister Feng, who was sitting at the end table eating wine, and said with a smile: "Oh, in my opinion, hiring a teacher for young actors is just an excuse. He is becoming more and more talented now." , I’m afraid it’s just like him, who wants to recruit some beauties to have wine with him.”
Seeing Jia Mu point out everyone's suspicions in person, everyone laughed. The Miharu sisters even blushed, feeling that this kind of topic should not be something they could hear.
Sister Feng naturally knew what Jia Mu meant when she glanced at her. She came to Jia Mu with a wine glass and pretended to pour her a glass of wine. Then she smiled and said: "Old lady, you can just eat in the bar with peace of mind. Why don't you imitate those outside?" Are you ignorant, talking nonsense?
Our second master Lian has already told me that it is really just to let the young actors learn more skills before the mother-in-law's wedding, so he brought back those women who are both beautiful and talented to be teachers for the young actors. of. "
Seeing that Sister Feng was serious, Mother Jia looked very surprised: "Girl Feng, do you really believe him?"
Not to mention Jia Mu, even everyone else looked at Sister Feng in surprise.
It's really strange. In the past, it was Jia Mu who advised the jealous Sister Feng to stay out of their men's family affairs. But now it's better, and Jia Mu has become the one who stirs up trouble?
"Why don't I believe it? The old lady doesn't know that our second master Lian is paying less attention to me now.
If he had done it, he wouldn't be afraid of me knowing about it, and he wouldn't be able to try so hard to trick me. Since he said it, it is true. "
Sister Feng's face was full of smiles, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
Others quietly gave her a thumbs up. It was rare for Sister Feng to save face for Jia Lian in front of everyone.
However, most of the people here have not seen those four women, so they don't know what they looked like, and it is difficult to judge whether Sister Feng is lying.
Jia Mu only suddenly remembered this incident, fearing that Jia Lian and Sister Feng would make a fuss again and disturb her peace.
Now seeing Sister Feng being so open-minded, she didn't bother to ask.
Sister Jia's silence was interpreted as curiosity by Sister Feng, because she smiled and said, "The old lady is curious about what those teachers are like. While you are free now, why don't you ask them to come over and have a look?"
In fact, she was also curious, and she always felt empty without seeing it with her own eyes.
Jia Mu thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Well, since he is the gentleman invited back by Lian'er, he should not be treated lightly. Now that it is getting late and they have come back from a long way, it is better to let them rest first. It will be the same if we meet again another day. of."
Jia Mu is still very reasonable in these places.
... Jia Lian handled some things in the study outside and then returned to the main courtyard.
Even with his physical strength, after so many things today and drinking, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, so he had no intention of practicing again at night, and went straight home.
"Second uncle."
Jia Lian, who wanted to go back to the house and lie down as soon as possible, suddenly heard Li Wan's voice and became more energetic.
He suddenly felt that it was good for his activity center to be in Dongkuaoyuan, so every time he went home, he would pass by Li Wan's yard.
If things go on like this, chance encounters will become nothing more than commonplace.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Jia Lian bent down and returned the gift. Seeing that there was not even a maid around Li Wan, he couldn't help but ask: "Is the old lady gone?"
"No...I'll come back to see Lan'er. I'll go there again soon."
"Um."
Jia Lian took two steps forward. In the quiet night, the physical distance between the two was already less than one foot.
Li Wan could smell the faint smell of alcohol coming from Jia Lian, as well as some other indescribable smell.
She subconsciously took a step back, lowered her head and said, "Thank you to my second uncle for the gift that was sent to me, which cost my uncle money."
"It doesn't matter whether it costs money or not, as long as my sister-in-law likes it."
Jia Lian thought for a moment with his unconscious head, then suddenly reached out and took Li Wan's jade hand.
It's cold, soft and smooth. As soon as you get it, you can't help but massage it and fully feel the beauty of it.
"Second uncle!"
Li Wan seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly took two steps back, bowed to Jia Lian, and then walked around Jia Lian and went home.
Seeing her back disappear at the entrance of her courtyard, Jia Lian did not feel disappointed at all.
If she could succeed easily, she wouldn't be called Li Wan.
Moreover, it is finally progress, isn't it?
After twirling his fingers, Jia Lian picked up his feet and returned home.
"Second Master, you are back."
Qingwen, who fell asleep on the table, rubbed her eyes and said happily after being woken up by Jia Lian.
"Help me undress, I'm going to bed."
"oh."
Qingwen, who had quick hands and feet, immediately stood up and helped Jia Lian undress and take off his belt.
Just when she was about to go out with the clothes Jia Lian had changed, Jia Lian grabbed her and started to untie her clothes.
"Second Master?" Qingwen was stunned, wondering whether the Second Master had figured it out and wanted to employ her.
But it wasn't until Jia Lian was skinned into a little sheep and thrown into the quilt, and then the second master also got up and hugged her tightly in his arms, that she realized that she was overthinking.
"Second Master, Second Grandma doesn't like us messing around in her bed."
"It doesn't matter, just say I forced you. Now, don't talk and go to sleep."
Qingwen was always a courageous person. When she heard what Jia Lian said, she immediately stopped talking and obediently leaned her head in Jia Lian's arms.
Not to mention that Jia Lian likes to sleep with their delicate bodies in his arms, they also like to be hugged tenderly by the second master's broad chest.
So after realizing that Jia Lian fell asleep quickly, she also fell into a deep sleep.
In the flower hall, Jia Mu was in good spirits, but Aunt Xue could not accompany her.
"Old lady, it's late at night, Bao Yatou and I are leaving."
"Oh, look at me, I was only talking to myself and I forgot about my concubine."
As Jia Mu said this, she asked Mrs. Wang to send Aunt Xue off.
Aunt Xue shook her head, "Let sister sit down, and Feng girl will just take care of her."
Sister Feng knew that Aunt Xue had something to say to her, so she followed Aunt Xue out.
"It's your brother Pan's birthday in a few days, and I would like to invite you and Brother Lian to sit with us at our home, as a way to thank Lian'er for his help to our family."
Aunt Xue had previously told the story at the banquet about Jia Lian's help in punishing the slaves, so Sister Feng was not surprised and nodded in agreement.
I didn't ask Aunt Xue why she invited her and the couple privately, because Xue Pan didn't invite Jia Mu and others to see her, so Aunt Xue wouldn't invite Jia Mu and others without the sense of humor.
After sending Aunt Xue and Baochai out of the Grand View Garden, Sister Feng asked Ping'er and others to go back to the banquet first, while she slipped into the house to see if Jia Lian was back.
When she saw Jia Lian hugging Qingwen and sleeping soundly, Sister Feng suddenly became angry.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he clenched his hand into a fist and shook it several times on Jia Lian's handsome face, as if he couldn't relieve his anger without punching him a few times.
After all, he didn't make a move, he just pinched Qingwen's nose and lifted her up.
"Okay, stinky girl, it's such a hot day, how can you squeeze in so hard that you, the second master, can't get up."
"oh."
Qingwen, who was forced to turn on her phone, did not dare to express her dissatisfaction. After Sister Feng left, she hired two maids to guard the door. Still feeling sleepy, she went back to the house to sleep.
I'm feeling yang, and my head is a little dizzy.
