dream of red mansion

Chapter 119

"what's up?"

"First, someone from outside brought in a large basket of mangoes. They are big and red, and they are said to be from Taiwan!"

Mother Jia asked with a nonchalant smile, "Who sent it?"

The servant girl said: "It's the second master of the East!"

"Oh, it's him again, he has a heart."

Only Jia Baoyu was puzzled and said, "Didn't the second brother go to Jiangnan? How can Sister Yuanyang come from Taiwan?"

It turned out that this maid was Yuanyang, who was responsible for taking care of Jia's mother's daily life, and she was the most respected maid in Jia's mansion.

"I don't know about that, Second Master Bao should ask Second Master Qing."

Wang Xifeng was not happy at this time, and complained: "Brother Qing, it's a shame that I praised him before! Now I have good things, but I only think about my ancestors, and I completely forgot about my second sister-in-law!"

Jia Baoyu also said: "That's right, I haven't seen anyone from my yard..."

"Second Mistress, don't wrong a good person. I heard from the woman who delivered the things that there are several big boxes at the second door, all of which are for the masters and ladies in the house. Grandma's share, this time The children are probably in grandma's house!"

Yuanyang laughed.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng wasn't really dissatisfied. Hearing this, he continued jokingly: "Oh, is that so? Then I'll have to take a good look after I go back. If it doesn't suit my liking, I won't follow it!"

Naturally, everyone laughed again. After laughing, Jia Mu said: "Okay, the food is ready over there. I'll talk about it later. Let's have dinner now!"

As a result, the originally bustling Rongqing Hall fell silent in an instant, only the sound of people leaving their seats remained.

After the meal was finished and they sat down for a while and had some tea, Mother Jia sent all her little grandchildren back to their houses to rest, but Wang Xifeng was left behind.

Wang Xifeng was also puzzled at first, why Mother Jia ordered her to join the table at the meal just now, so she had something to say to her, so she obediently stayed in the hall.

After all the people who were supposed to leave were gone, Wang Xifeng helped Jia Mu back to the main hall and sat down. Yuanyang brought an embroidered pillow for Jia Mu to lean on.

Finding a comfortable position to lean against, Mother Jia asked:
"Brother Feng, please tell me about Brother Qing in Dongfu. Why did I hear that there was a lot of trouble in the mansion a few days ago? Please tell me in detail."

As the most respected person in the mansion, Mother Jia would not dare to bother her with trivial matters unless she was interested in listening.It's just that some time ago, there were a lot of rumors in the mansion, which caused Jia's mother to hear a little bit, but not in detail.

She is generally unwilling to pay attention to things outside the second door, so she just let it go.

Today, after listening to Wang Xifeng's gags, and remembering that Jia Qing was also filial to her in normal times, and would go out of his way to make her happy, then he thought about finding out more clearly.

Wang Xifeng was very relaxed when she heard that she was asking about this matter.Listen to the greeting and sit after Jiamu starts, and say:
"Actually, it's not a big deal, and it's not worth asking the ancestors personally...

But since the ancestors cared so much about their grandchildren, the granddaughter-in-law could only talk about everything. "

Then, he said in a storytelling tone:
"By the way, brother Qing has been in poor health since he was born, and was sent to Yangzhou for foster care by the master. He also thought that the milder water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River would be good for his health.

Coincidentally, after staying in Yangzhou for less than three years, the illness has almost recovered, so Uncle Jing sent someone to bring him back..."

Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Jia's mother was a little confused.How come no one has heard of it in those years?
However, there are too many descendants in her family, and Baoyu was born not long ago, so I guess I didn't pay attention at that time.

How could Jia's mother know that these "past events" were actually released by Jia Jing, and the family ugliness should not be publicized!Moreover, Jia Jing did this for the good of Jia Qing, he didn't want Jia Qing to live with gossip.

"Who knows, although this brother Qing was not raised by Mrs. Dong, he is quite talented in reading. He actually compares with Brother Zhen and Brother Rong over there. In addition, he is well-behaved and sensible, so Uncle Jing is It hurts to hold him in the palm of your hand!"

Jia Mu said: "I tell you what happened in the mansion a while ago. I know how you talk about it. Don't say you respect uncle, your second uncle also values ​​it very much, but compares Baoyu to Baoyu." down..."

Speaking of this, Jia's mother is inevitably a little bit upset about his precious jade.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "Look at me, I can't even speak anymore, it's time to call...

It's all about Brother Qing's name!Didn't the ancestors find out, Brother Qing's name is different from that of Baoyu's generation in the mansion. "

Jia Mu said, "Which word is it?"

"Clear water is so clear!"

"How can this be possible? Although he is still young and can be regarded as a nickname, he still violates the etiquette of his ancestors? How could you make such a mistake when respecting your uncle?"

Nickname?Wang Xifeng didn't say that Jia Qing's name had already been used in the Imperial College, and it was completely used as a famous name. This is what those uncles and ancestors were most dissatisfied with!

Without mentioning this, Wang Xifeng continued: "My daughter-in-law Sun doesn't know the specifics, but I heard that it seems to be because of Brother Qing's mother. She died after giving birth to Brother Qing."

Mother Jia is the most kind-hearted, and sighed after hearing the words: "It's also unlucky.

That's right, Brother Qing probably gave her the name before she left. Your uncle has been called that for so many years because of his death.Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be so foolish! "

Wang Xifeng flattered and said: "The old ancestor is still wise! Why can't the grandson's daughter-in-law think of it!"

She knew a little more than Jia's mother. After Jia's mother made such a guess, she knew that this was probably the case.He even teased in his heart: Unexpectedly, my uncle is still a seed of infatuation...

But Jia Mu said again: "But it's also an unknown thing. Brother Qing doesn't understand the rules, doesn't he? The sentence is to give the sensibilities that have passed away, and it is reasonable to give the child a name of a noble character!"

Jia's mother criticized Jia Jing, but Wang Xifeng didn't want to intervene, so she said: "Yes, it is said that the Confucian grandpa of the clan took the elders of the clan to ask the uncle for his crimes! Some people even said that Brother Qing's name is not in accordance with the ancestral etiquette. Not counting as Jia's family, they want to kick Brother Qing out of the house!"

Jia Mu frowned and said: "Nonsense! The name is not in compliance with the rules. Just change it. What do you say to drive people out? It's just nonsense!"

Speaking of which, Mother Jia can be regarded as a loving elder.Compared with the two wives in the Rongguo Mansion, she can be said to be a role model for the elderly in this regard!
It can be said that the joy of Jia's mansion begins with Jia's mother and ends with the two wives!

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Exactly. The granddaughter-in-law also thought it was shameful when she first heard about it! If I hadn't been a woman and a junior, I would have to go out and scold them! It's too shameful!"

As soon as Wang Xifeng said this, Jia's mother's attention was instantly concentrated, she tapped Wang Xifeng's forehead with her hand, and scolded with a smile: "You, you are becoming more and more unruly, dare to say anything! It seems that I have to tell the elders Ma'am, let you set the rules properly!"

Wang Xifeng rubbed his forehead, and when he heard the words, he put on an air of grievance and fear, leaned on Jia Mu's lap, and said exaggeratedly: "My ancestor, please forgive me! Granddaughter-in-law will never dare again, never dare again..."
