dream of red mansion

Chapter 391 Mother and Daughter Recognize
The eyes of everyone were like wolves and tigers, so frightened that Xiangling wanted to back away, but there was a screen behind her, so how could she escape.

Suddenly a figure stood in front of him, blocking the eyes of others.

"What are you doing, see how you scare people!"

Jia Qing looked at Jia Baoyu and the others with dissatisfaction.

"What if we scare her into a bad situation? Who will take care of it then?"

As soon as Jia Qing said this, everyone looked away.Speaking of which, if the rumor fabricated by Jia Qing spreads in the mansion, it will be like putting an invisible shield on Xiangling!As long as there is a little taboo in my heart, I'm afraid I won't dare to bully her anymore.

Jia Mu said: "Okay, don't read it, you will know whether it is true or not when your sister-in-law You brings him here."

Only then did everyone suspend their curiosity.

Jia Qing walked back to his seat and sat down. At this time, Daiyu suddenly said to him: "Second brother, you said that you met that old Mr. Zhen when you were in Yangzhou, and you promised to help him find his daughter. Why haven't you heard about it before?" How about it?"

Jia Qing said casually: "I've been too busy these years so I forgot..."

Daiyu said: "Since I have forgotten it, I should have forgotten it after all these years. How come I still remember his words so clearly?"

You know, Jia Qing has forgotten where he lives, so he shouldn't just remember what the Taoist said.

Uh, Jia Qing looked at Daiyu in astonishment, not understanding why she would come to "pick".What surprised Jia Qing even more was that Jia Baoyu gave the reason before him:

"Perhaps, because the Taoist priest really has spells, it is not certain. He must have cast spells on the second brother, so that the second brother can remember his words so clearly."

"Well, I don't know... But I think there is a great possibility of what Brother Bao said!" Jia Qing said ambiguously. He didn't want to make up one lie after another. Anyway, the goal has been achieved, so do more research. Already unintentional.

Xichun looked at the gap and asked, "Brother, what gift did you bring us this time?"

After hearing this, Daiyu burst into a smile, and didn't pursue the previous question any more.

"Sister Lin, what are you laughing at?" Tanchun asked.

"No, I suddenly remembered a joke, so I laughed."

Jia Qing said: "That, that, haven't you given your sister Lin's gift yet?"

"Yes, there are so many varieties!"

"In that case, you still ask me for it? Why do you want those extra gifts?"

Xichun said: "Save it, I have saved it a lot, it's all called Ruhua and keep it."

"Xichun, my brother told you, you keep these gifts, but you don't need them, and you keep them in the house all day, how boring are they?
So, this time, my brother won’t give you any presents.”

"Where is it boring, I often watch them." Xichun muttered, and then knew that Jia Qing might not have brought her a gift back, and the expectant expression slowly dissipated.

Jia Qing scratched his head, touched his body, and finally found a newly made sachet.After seeing that Gu Qingwen was not here, he handed it to Xichun.

This small sachet was made for him by Qingwen during this trip, and he only carried it for a few days.

Seeing this, Tanchun smiled and said, "Second elder brother, if people say that things are not fair, they will cry out. You are only afraid that Xichun will be unhappy, but you are not afraid that my second sister and I will be unhappy?"

Jia Qing said bitterly: "My good sister, please forgive me, or I'll give you cash?"

Last time in Yangzhou City, Jia Qing was too busy looking for old houses, so he didn't buy gifts for his family.Later, on the return boat, seeing Daiyu's pile of presents, Jia Qing wanted to ask her to share some of them for him, but unfortunately Daiyu refused and let him get off the boat to buy them himself.

Jia Qing thought about it, it would be like a routine to buy it alone, and it would be meaningless to buy it every time, so forget it.

Unexpectedly, Xichun guessed that he would bring a gift back, so she took the initiative to ask questions.Jia Qing didn't want to disappoint her, so he took one of his personal items and gave it to her.

But now that Tanchun blocks him with the words of suffering from inequality, how can he have so many things to give away?
"Okay, how much is the second brother going to discount?" Tanchun laughed.

She's not Xichun, she's just joking.

"How much do you want?"

"Hey, of course, the more the better."

"How about I make up the monthly payment for each of you for a year?" Jia Qing thought about it and asked tentatively.

Tanchun was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Second brother, you just asked your ancestors for the New Year's money but failed, why are you suddenly so generous now?"

Jia Qing hehe said: "You don't understand, I give you the money, what can you do with it? Why don't you buy needles and threads, and then everyone make dozens of sets of clothes and shoes for me? , I even saved my wages, hehe."

Yingchun always had a smile on her face, and said, "Second brother, why do you need so many clothes and shoes?"

Jia Qing looked at her and said with a smile: "It's a new year, so I have to wear new clothes and hats! I can wear clothes very well, and I have to change a few sets a day, so I don't need to prepare too much." point?"

Tanchun laughed and said, "If that's the case, we wouldn't dare to take your money. Dozens of sets of clothes can't exhaust you to death."

Daiyu said: "What are you afraid of? Just make one or two pieces for him at that time."

Talking and laughing, soon saw You Shi came back.

"Old lady, people have already brought it."

Mother Jia was talking to Aunt Xue, when she heard that, she stopped and said, "Okay, let her come in quickly."

"Yes."

You Shi turned around and went out, and came back soon, followed by Feng Shi who was a little restrained.

"The women of the people have seen Mrs. Tai"

When she came, You Shi had already told her that when she entered the door, she would first greet the person at the top, who was her family's ancestor.

Fortunately, she used to be a wife of a rich family. Apart from being a little restrained, her manners were good, her clothes were clean, and her manners were not vulgar, which made Jia Mu secretly nod.

"Madam Zhen, please sit down."

"Mrs. Xie." Feng replied, and then gently sat on the stool carried by the maid.

"Listen to my grandson, your Master Zhen once saved my grandson back then, and I am here to express my thanks again on his behalf."

"Don't dare, dare not." Feng stood up and said.

Mother Jia gestured to sit down, and then said: "I think you already know the reason why you are invited here, so I won't say more. Girl Xiangling, come here quickly."

Jia Mu said, looking to the side.

I saw that Xiangling who was originally shy and timid now had tears streaming down her face, staring straight at Feng Shi in the hall, but tried not to make a sound.

And Feng's mind was already agitated after Jiamu's words, at this time, following the eyes of others, he quickly saw the girl with a rouge stain between her eyebrows in the corner.

"Yinglian!" Feng's tone was not a question at all, but an affirmative tone. He stood up and took a few steps forward.

But Xiangling took a few steps back instead, tears streaming down her face.She couldn't believe that she could really see her mother again.

She was already four years old when she was abducted. It is impossible for a four-year-old child to completely forget her relatives!The reason why she couldn't remember everything no matter what others asked her was because she was afraid of being beaten and scolded by kidnappers since she was a child, and she didn't dare to have the slightest thought of missing her parents' hometown.

Moreover, the kidnapper also "educated" that when he arrived at the new master, he (the kidnapper) should not reveal that he (the kidnapper) was not his real father, otherwise he would be kicked out or even beaten to death. (In fact, everyone knows that she was kidnapped.)
In addition, she also knew that she would not be able to see her parents again, and she only wanted to live a better life in the future, better than the place where the kidnapper locked her up, and that was enough!

Therefore, whenever people asked her about the past, she would say that she didn't remember it, firstly to avoid others from asking, and secondly, mainly because she was afraid of offending the master's family (Xue's family).

However, when the living mother stood in front of him, although he didn't quite remember the face in his memory, how could the throbbing from the blood be suppressed by the humiliated and cowardly soul?Therefore, she knew very well that this was her mother. A long time ago, whenever she cried bitterly, she most wanted someone to appear to protect her!
"Yinglian, I am mother! Daughter, my daughter!~"

Feng Shi lost the politeness he had pretended before, and began to cry and cry regardless of the local occasion, his voice was sad with surprise, and the surprise was tinged with sadness.

No one in the hall shouted to stop her, including Jia's mother, they were so moved by this scene that they wanted to cry.

In such a situation, no one would disbelieve that they are really mother and daughter, because the love and admiration in their eyes cannot be deceived.

Aunt Xue may have been infected to a lesser extent because she felt a little bit of guilt in it. Seeing that Xiangling did not dare to come forward to admit her mother, she said, "Xiangyinglian, why don't you come over to see your mother."

At this time and place, the hope that Jia Yucun originally had in his heart was nonsense, and the idea that the person Jia Qing wanted to help find was not Xiangling was completely thrown away, and he only had blessings in his heart.Fundamentally speaking, people's hearts are still good.

Feng's continuous calls are not worth a word from Aunt Xue!Xiangling walked forward, but she didn't go to Fengshi, but approached Xue Baochai.

In her perception, Xue Baochai is the best person.Facing such a situation where she didn't know what to do, she subconsciously asked Xue Baochai for advice.

Xue Baochai was considerate and understood, so she smiled and said, "It's all right, go there quickly, she is your mother."

"Mother." Xiangling finally whispered the title she hadn't called out in ten years, her eyes only on the ground.

"my daughter!!"

Feng Shi couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and hugged Xiangling into his arms, and then the mother and daughter began to hug and cry.

After a while, Xu Shi realized that he couldn't cry here, and the two of them gradually stopped talking.

Mother Jia wiped her wet eye sockets with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "Okay, Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, you can arrange a place for them to live, so that the two of them can have a good talk."

Jia Qing said: "Don't bother sister-in-law, I have already arranged a place for them to stay temporarily, let Rong's daughter-in-law take them there by car."

"Alright." Mother Jia nodded.

"Thank you Ma'am"

Seeing that Mother Jia treated them so kindly to their mother and daughter, Mrs. Feng knelt down and kowtowed to thank Xiangling.Then he kowtowed to Jia Qing and others sitting next to him.

Yingchun stood up quickly.

It's not pretentious, this is the rule of everyone.Besides, Lin Daiyu and others are young girls who have not left the cabinet, and they cannot accept people other than slaves bowing down, saying that they will shorten their lives.
"Get up quickly," Jia Mu said.

After kowtowing to Jia Mu again, Feng Shi stood up.From the beginning to the end, Xiangling only followed Feng Shi's movements, she said what Feng Shi said, and she did what Feng Shi did.
Qin Keqing stepped forward to guide Feng Shi to take Xiangling away, but found that she couldn't take her daughter away.Looking back, I saw my daughter looking at a woman and young lady in the hall with tears in her eyes.

Aunt Xue said, "Go."

So, Xiangling knelt down again, kowtowed to Aunt Xue, mother and daughter alone, and then stood up and followed Fengshi out.

After Xiangling's mother and daughter left, Jia Qing saw that everyone in the hall looked sullen, and said with a smile: "Everyone should be happy to see such a touching scene of mother and daughter getting acquainted with each other. Why are you still like this? Look at me, I'm smiling." How happy? Hahahaha"

Jia Mu scolded: "Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?"

Jia Qing looked around the crowd again, seeing that even Mrs. Wang had a sad look on her face, she was taken aback for a moment, and then thought with relief: Sure enough, aristocratic ladies like Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu might get angry for a while. Dealing with people is merciless.However, under most circumstances, they are willing to be a charitable person. Perhaps, they think that maintaining a charitable heart can accumulate blessings!

"By the way, didn't you hear that Xiangyun is here? Why haven't you seen her come out?"

Tanchun said: "She, after dinner, she said she was going to talk to Qingwen, but she didn't know what she was doing, and she hasn't come back yet."

"Old ancestors."

Suddenly Jia Lian walked in.

"What's the matter?" Mother Jia asked.

"Master asked me to come in and have a look. If there is nothing wrong with the ancestor here, let me take the second brother out for a while. The master wants to see him."

Sitting Jia Baoyu twisted his body unnaturally.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "The master is not looking for you, but for the second brother Qing."

Only then did Jia Baoyu calm down.

"Since your second uncle has something to do with you, you should go first." Mother Jia said to Jia Qing.

Jia Qing stood up, said: "Yes", and said to Youshi: "Sister-in-law, can you go?"

Youshi didn't want to stay with Jiamu's place any longer, so he stood up when he heard the words.

"You go too, it's getting late."

"Yes."

After leaving the second gate, Jia Qing and Youshi parted ways, and followed Jia Lian to Rongxi hall.

When they arrived at Jia Zheng's residence, Jia Lian reported, "My lord, the second brother Qing has arrived."

"come in."

After entering the door, I saw Jia Zheng wearing ordinary clothes, sitting in the hall drinking tea.

"I met my second uncle."

"sit down."

So Jia Qing sat down.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Qing and remained silent for a while.Every time he sees Jia Qing, he can't help but think of Jia Baoyu.No way, the two are not only about the same age, but also more spiritual.

Although Jia Zheng said that he was not very satisfied with Jia Baoyu, he had to say that Jia Baoyu's looks were quite satisfactory.
"I don't know why the second uncle asked for his nephew?"

Jia Zheng paused before saying, "It's nothing serious. It's just that some time ago, there were rumors in the government and the public that you were more aggressive in the south of the Yangtze River. You even killed a deputy commander-in-chief under Chamberlain. This matter?"

Jia Qing really didn't expect that Jia Zheng's first thing would be to ask this!He originally thought that Jia Zheng would ask about the White Lotus Sect or about His Majesty's visit.

When we were in the South Study Room, the emperor didn't even ask more questions about this kind of thing!
"Back to Second Uncle, there is indeed such a thing."

Jia Qing said quietly.

　Ask for a recommendation...
