dream of red mansion

Chapter 122

"Where did Second Master go so early in the morning?"

When Jia Qing walked into Qingju, Pei Feng, who was sitting in the room waiting, immediately asked, and walked over with Xie Luan, took the coat from Jia Qing's hand, and was about to serve Jia Qing to wash up.

"Oh, the second master went crazy in the garden again! He got so dirty..."

"I'm going to prepare hot water for the second master."

After saying that, Xie Luan went out.Jia Qing casually found a chair and lay down halfway, enjoying the pleasant service with peace of mind.

"Xiao Fengfeng, come here quickly."

Looking at Peifeng who was sitting on the other side with nothing to do, Jia Qing moved his buttocks, patted the vacant seat and called out to her.

"what?"

Although dissatisfied with Jia Qing calling her like that, Pei Feng still came over.Seeing Jia Qing's actions, he said with disgust: "Second Master is so dirty, I won't sit with you!"

Jia Qing didn't expect that he would be rejected. He raised his arm and sniffed, then raised his head and said, "Second Master, this is Xianghan, not dirty at all! If you don't believe me, you can smell it."

Hearing such shameless words, and seeing Jia Qingzhen raised her sleeve to ask her to smell "Xianghan", Peifeng was really disgusted.Xiumei frowned, pouted her small mouth, gave Jia Qing a disgusted look, and sat back to her original seat without speaking.

"Xiao Fengfeng?"

"Sister Xiaofeng?"

"Come and play with me..."

Listening to Jia Qing chattering there alone, Pei Feng was amused, but still responded: "Second Master, you can live in peace, and we will play together after Master Xieluan takes a bath."

Jia Qing stopped pretending to be naive, he knew that Pei Feng was a bit of a clean freak, so he deliberately teased her like this.Seeing her uncompromising, he stopped teasing her and waited for Xie Luan to arrange to serve her in the bath.

After Jia cleaned up, he tidied up his appearance and went out to pay his respects.

The first stop is Jia Jing's place, and then Jia Zhen's yard.

Jia Zhen said that she was not feeling well, so she asked You Shi to greet him... This is exactly what Jia Qing wanted!
Although he is not a straightforward person, he really doesn't want to make false claims with someone like Jia Zhen who is destined to be an enemy!

Nowadays, no one sees anyone, just right.

……

"Grandson pays respects to the ancestors! I wish the ancestors will always smile and live a long life!"

In Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Qing knelt down and kowtowed to Mother Jia on the high hall with a peachy face.

Now she can be regarded as in the eyes of Jiamu.If you want to come in and kowtow to Jia Mu, you can go all the way.

This is a powerful symbol of his efforts to gain status in the Jia Mansion over the past few years.

"It's Brother Qing, come here, come and talk."

Jia Mu, who was being beaten by her maid, half-opened her eyes, and called out to Jia Qing.

Jia Qing was overjoyed, this was too obvious a signal!Before coming here, Jia Qing wondered whether a typical ancient lady like Jia Mu would be dissatisfied because of his name...

Now it seems that the situation is not too bad, those people have not yet been able to influence Jiamu.That's good, the entire Jia family, now the only one who can completely suppress Jia Jing in terms of status is the old lady in the hall.

As long as she doesn't express her opinion, Jia Jing's pressure will be much less.

Thinking of this, the smile on Jia Qing's face became even wider, and he quickly got up from the ground, stepped forward in small steps, climbed up the steps, and stood two steps below Jia Mu.

Jia Qing knew that Mother Jia didn't like submissive juniors, so she never pretended to be careless in front of Mother Jia.Standing so close to Jia's mother like this, among brothers and sisters, only Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu usually do this.

Most of the other younger generations who came to pay their respects basically only dared to stand below the steps and did not dare to "make mistakes".

Sure enough, Mother Jia didn't have the slightest intention of blaming her. Instead, she sat up from the soft seat and asked with a smile: "I heard that you went to Jiangnan to participate in the literary conference? How did you get a good ranking?"

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, my grandson really got a good ranking..."

Jia Mu's eyes lit up, and she said loudly, "What is it? Come and listen!"

Jia Qing looked around, there were only a dozen maidservants standing in the room, including the upper and lower halls, and there were no other masters from the two houses. He was curious, but his mouth was not idle:

"My grandson was lucky enough to be selected as the top poet of this literary meeting by the Minister of Rites of Nanjing."

All the people in the hall looked sideways, the servants of Jia's mansion, especially the servants of Jia's mother's courtyard, under the influence of their ears and eyes, had a lot of knowledge, and naturally knew what Shikui meant and what it meant.

Jia Mu said, "Really?"

"How dare your grandson lie in front of your ancestors?"

Jia Mu is very happy!After all, she is from her grandchildren's generation. If she is promising, her face will also be radiant.

"Quickly read to me, what did you do at the literary meeting to win the first prize of poetry, I will open my eyes too, old lady."

"What did the ancestor say? My grandson knows that my ancestor's literary talents are as good as others, but he doesn't usually show them off. How dare my grandson play tricks in front of my ancestor..."

Jia Qing flattered her half-truths and half-falsely.Speaking of it, Jia Mu is also very proficient in writing and ink, but she is married to a high-ranking family and cannot use it.

But it can be seen from her jokes with the Jia sisters that she was also a talented lady when she was young.Otherwise, it is impossible to be favored by the first generation Rong Guogong and recruited as his daughter-in-law.

Jia Mu said with a hehe smile on her face, "I'm old and old, and I can't compare to you."

Jia Qing squatted next to Jia Mu's other leg, and beat her leg, saying, "Although we call you the old ancestor, you are not old at all. We grandchildren and great-grandchildren still want you It depends on your old man's training.

It's not that the ancestors didn't want to waste their energy on our useless grandchildren, so they pretended to be old, right?If this is the case, the grandson will not obey! "

What Jia Qing said even he himself felt too flattering...

But Jia Qing felt it was worth it.Say more pleasant things to the elderly at home, and make the elderly happy. This is what should be done in any era.

People are old and cherish blessings!For a person like Jia Mu who is used to the glory of the world, can she not see that the younger generations are coaxing her?able!But why does she still like the "flatterer" Wang Xifeng so much?Without it, it's just a word of mind.

She doesn't care why what she said is unreasonable, the juniors can make her happy with all their heart, that's what makes her happiest.

Wang Xifeng understands this truth, and Jia Qing naturally understands it too.No matter how unreliable his good words are, as long as they don't reach the point of disgusting, it will be helpful for him to gain favor in front of Jia Mu!
It can make Jia's mother feel that this grandson respects her.This is also a precious thing for an old man who lacks nothing, so it is naturally worthy of her liking.

Sure enough, Mother Jia laughed and scolded: "You, you... hurry up and read it to me, otherwise, my ancestor, I really want to take care of you, so that you don't say I'm taking time off! Hehehe."

"Cuckoo..."

The maidservants around her also let out some laughter, led by Yuanyang.

Jia Qing made a gesture of grievance, and then turned into a smirk, saying: "Well, it's not good for me to boast about myself? Although I also think that the poems I wrote are not bad... Oh, don't hit the old ancestor, the grandson just said it is true. ..."

"Call you glib!"

When Jia Mu saw that Jia Qing didn't say anything, but wanted to be hypocritical and try to please him, she reached out and tapped him on the head.

After Jia Qing was forced to be honest, he was very happy in his heart. He could feel that Jia's mother liked him more.Otherwise, he would never have acted so kindly to him, which was the kind of treatment that Jia Baoyu could only have in the past.

Tell Jiamu about the Fanwenhui in every detail, so let's treat it as a storytelling, and Jiamu is also willing to hear these new things.

"Old ancestors, what are you talking about, so happy?"

Jia Qing's grandparents and grandsons were just as they said, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan also came with Jia Baoyu and others.
