dream of red mansion

Chapter 493 Observance of the ceremony
Jia Mu snorted coldly and said, "I heard people say that you bullied Baoyu a while ago?"

"Brother Bao?"

After Jia Qing thought for a while, he suddenly realized, looked at Jia Baoyu who had some sparkling eyes beside him, and said in disbelief: "Okay, Brother Bao, you actually sued my cunning in front of your ancestors secretly. shape!"

Jia Baoyu opened his mouth to defend, but Jia's mother was dissatisfied: "Well, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it. You treat Baoyu like this in front of us. Baoyu is so cute, and he is not as good at talking as you. If there is a contradiction in the relationship, how can he not suffer a loss!"

As Jiamu said, she really felt a little angry.

Jia Baoyu is the baby lump she has spoiled for so many years, no one can bully him!
Jia Qing had a bitter face, pouted his mouth, stood where he was, opened his mouth but didn't speak.

Mother Jia waited for Jia Qing's answer, and after waiting for a while, she saw him standing blankly without saying a word, describing nothing but grievances.Jia Mu was a little funny again: "What are you doing like this?"

"injustice."

Jia Qing shook his head, opened his mouth and spit out a word.

With his appearance, not to mention others, even Mrs. Wang, who has been examining him, couldn't hold back a smile.

"Then what do you mean you were wronged?"

When Jia's mother said this, Jia Qing immediately said, "Why is my grandson wronged? My grandson is so wronged! On the way to see my little niece that day, didn't I meet the second brother Bao who asked me to help the old Liu?" The wife of the family was rescued. Although my grandson didn't agree at the time, but after I went back, I immediately asked the Laisheng family to take care of it, and even spent money to quietly send him to the south!
I only did this for Brother Bao's sake.Pity me for spending money and hard work, but in the end, Brother Bao actually sued me in front of my ancestors. The most important thing is that my ancestors believed me, and in turn wronged me, your honest, reliable and filial grandson, hey, It seems that the grandson really wants to be a real relative! "

Jia Qing looked as if he saw the essence of the matter clearly.

Jia Mu said with a smile: "In that case, why didn't you agree at that time, so why did you make a noise out of Baoyu?"

Jia Qing tiptoed to Jia Mu's side, and deliberately lowered her voice: "Old Ancestor, think about it, then the Liu family committed a serious crime and was ordered by the emperor to confiscate the house. Soon the elder sister will go home to visit her relatives. If at this time We protect the Liu family with great fanfare. If the Holy One doesn't like it, wouldn't it make big sister look bad?
The old ancestor must have understood this truth, but the second brother Bao was very lucky, he was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, pure and kind, the grandson was afraid that he would be bewitched by others, so he didn't agree on the spot.

The grandson is also a nostalgic person?Regarding the matter of the Liu family, because of some accidents in the middle, the Holy Majesty actually didn't go into it. After some time, after the rumors die down, our family will have to help us where we can make a difference, so that we can live up to the generations of our family Your friendship, old ancestor, you said this is the reason, right? "

As long as the family is not exterminated, it means that there is still a chance for a comeback.Although it is very slim, as long as people are still there, there is still hope.

Jia Mu's expression changed when Jia Qing's tone became calm, and when he finished the last few words, it became even more complicated, with a faint sense of relief.

"Okay, since you didn't bully Baoyu sincerely, let's forget about it, and don't mention it again in the future!"

Mother Jia said the following words to everyone.

Although Jia Qing pretended to be whispering, in fact, everyone present heard what he said.The young maids were ignorant of worldly affairs, but just by looking at Jia Mu's expression, they knew that what Jia Qing said was "very reasonable"!As for the old women who understand the world, they looked at Jia Qing and Jia Baoyu, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the two brothers who were about the same age were not the same after all. In these respects, Jia Baoyu was far behind.

Mrs. Wang is also fascinated.Jia Qing's words that Jia Baoyu was bewitched startled her.

No need to guess, she also knows who bewitched Jia Baoyu last time!Her Ni Lin is Jia Baoyu, and she will resolutely attack anyone or anything that may endanger Jia Baoyu's life and reputation!
She didn't quite agree with Mother Jia's buying the criminal minister's daughter into her home, but now she is even more worried!If Baoyu was instigated by her to do other things again and cause disaster, what should he do? !

But it's not easy for her to come forward to deal with people in the old lady's room. After thinking about it, she stood up and said:
"Old lady, in my opinion, let's open a favor, add a few taels of silver, buy some clothes, and send Ling'er girl out. That girl is so pitiful. I remember that I hugged her when she was young. Now she The family has become like this. Although we bought her out of good intentions, seeing that the former daughter of Qianjin can only have the status of a maid, I really can't bear it.

Therefore, I wanted to ask the old lady for an advice, but let her go out of the house and live a peaceful life. "

"We didn't treat her like a maid. We bought her back then to fulfill the love of her ancestors."

Jia's mother understood Mrs. Wang's thoughts just by listening to it.

This is because he is afraid that Liu Lingshu will cause trouble in the mansion, and wants to send her out!
To be honest, Mother Jia doesn't like troublemakers either, but she thinks a little more than Mrs. Wang.

"It's not difficult to send her out, but you also know that she doesn't have a home now, so if you send her out like this, where will she go to live?"

In this world, if a girl is homeless, most of the only places she can go are the nunnery and the brothel.

The Wangfu said: "Didn't Brother Qing send her mother to the south? We will spend a few taels of silver to send her to her mother, so that their mother and daughter can be reunited..."

"Old ancestor, you can't send her away..."

Jia Baoyu was a little anxious.

Liu Lingshu lived in the mansion, and he was happily going to visit other people every day, how could Madam Wang send him away with just one word at this time?
"Ling'er, Ling'er is sick and can't go anywhere..."

"Baoyu, don't mess around!" Mrs. Wang admonished.

Jia's mother looked at Jia Baoyu with earnest eyes, and then at Jia Qing who was watching the show, and suddenly smiled and said, "Well, since Brother Qing is so sensible and you won't be deceived by others, I will Let me entrust her to you, and you will take good care of her, but you are not allowed to bully her!"

"What??"

Two greetings popped up on Jia Qing's head.Does this have anything to do with him?

"Grandfather, are you joking?"

"Who was joking with you? I asked you to arrange people well. Didn't you say that you are a person who misses old love? Linger girl is also your sister, you have to take good care of her!"

Under the balance of Jia's mother, she also felt that Mrs. Wang's worries were not superfluous.But she couldn't bear to see Jia Baoyu unhappy, so she dealt with it like this.

With Jia Qing's appearance as a thief and a thief, he wouldn't be caught by a girl!

Jia Qing felt speechless at this moment.When did Ningguo Mansion become a shelter, and everyone was stuffed into his mansion!

What's more, this Liu Shu is obviously Jia Baoyu's dish, so what's the matter with him being so sideways?

But, it's really not a big deal!
"The ancestor ordered his grandson to naturally dare not disobey, but Second Brother Bao is afraid that he will be unhappy..."

After a simple pros and cons analysis, Jia Baoyu felt that the possibility of getting back to the original status quo was not very high, and now it was much better than her mother's proposal, so she made up her mind, and when she heard Jia Qing's words, she immediately said: "No No, the second brother has always been cautious, so it would be best if the second brother settles down with sister Ling'er!"

Mother Jia looked over, meaning to ask Jia Qing what else to say.

Jia Qing giggled and said: "Hey, I have agreed to something from my ancestors, and now my grandson has something to ask my ancestors to agree to."

"what's up?"

"Big sister is going back to the house tomorrow. This is our family's top priority. It must not be sloppy! It just so happens that sister Lin is sick at this time. In this state, I won't be able to see my big sister tomorrow to say hello, let alone the house. The people in the house will inevitably have to be distracted to take care of it when they are in a hurry, it is really inconvenient."

Speaking of this, the smile on Mrs. Wang's and Jia's mother's face sank.Jia Mu sighed: "Yes, Yu'er was born with many disasters and illnesses when she was a child. This time, it's so unfortunate that everyone in the house is busy with family affairs, so they neglected her a bit. She is careful, and when the time comes It is inevitable that my heart will not go well, and another layer of sadness will arise.”

"So, my grandson thought, Eldest Sister will definitely stay in the garden and this mansion tomorrow. By then, these two places will be dignified and dignified, and no mistakes will be tolerated, but by then my mansion will be very leisurely! Therefore, How about asking Sister Lin to come to my mansion for a while, and let my grandson send someone to take care of it, firstly, it will save the people in the mansion from worrying, and secondly, it will benefit Sister Lin's recuperation, what do you think, old ancestor?"

……

It was not beyond Jia Qing's expectation.

Jia's mother agreed with Jia Qing's statement without much thought.

After all, Lin Ruhai sent her a letter specifically to explain the matter of accepting Jia Qing as his adopted son.That is to say, in this mansion now, besides her, it is reasonable for Jia Qing, as a righteous brother, to take care of his righteous sister.

Perhaps more crucially, the matter of visiting relatives in Yuanchun is more important than anything else!
No way, no matter how ostentatious Jia's mansion is on the outside, there is a fact that everyone in the mansion has to admit that since Jia Daishan's death, the family has indeed lost its former glory!Now that Yuan Chun was finally promoted to a noble concubine, Jia's mansion suddenly became a foreign relative. What a happy event, Yuan Chun is the guarantee of the honor of Jia's mansion, and everything is more important than Yuan Chun!
Therefore, it is reasonable for Jia's mother to agree to Jia Qing's request easily.

"Brother, I want to come here with Sister Lin, okay?"

On the way back to Daiyu's house, Xichun took Jia Qing's arm and begged gently.

Jia Qing stood, patted her head, and said with a smile: "Good sister, big sister is going home tomorrow, don't you want to see big sister?"

"Yes, but."

"Okay, tomorrow I will come over to welcome my eldest sister back to the province. If you pass by, then if my eldest sister asks me: Where is the fourth sister? Are you not welcome? I haven't been home for so many years and I haven't seen her come." How should I answer when you pick me up?"

"No way, big sister wouldn't ask such a question." Although Xichun is a little younger, she also knows how noble a concubine is, how can she chatter like ordinary people in the market.

However, the idea of ​​going to Ningguo Mansion to play was finally dispelled.

To appease Xichun, Jia Qing raised his head and saw Baochai looking at him happily, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Sister Bao looks really good today."

"Pfft..." Tanchun immediately laughed when he heard the words.

After a slight start, Baochai said, "Brother Qing is becoming more and more open-minded."

The voice was uncommonly less calm.

Tanchun smiled and asked: "I remember well, last time the second brother criticized Bao brother for not being able to speak because of this sentence, why did he do it today?"

Jia Qing smiled and did not answer.To be honest, every time he sees Baochai, it gives him a very comfortable feeling.

Very elegant, very beautiful.

Just like today, a light yellow plaid skirt with a light red vest on top, and the pearl hairpin on the head is not gorgeous, but it can be just the right embellishment.There is no powder on the face, only a little halo.The lips are red without spots, and the eyebrows are green without painting.

You know, even a girl as old as Xichun likes to use rouge and powder to dress herself up.There is only Baochai, who wears light makeup wherever she goes.

But just as the saying goes, a natural beauty does not need to be modified, it is still so beautiful, impeccable!

It's no wonder that he can be the first among the twelve beauties with Daiyu.

If it is said that Daiyu conquers the enemy with her beauty, beauty, beauty, and grace, then Baochai wins with her grace, elegance, beauty and beauty.

Seeing Jia Qing looking at her thoughtfully, Baochai finally showed timidity on her face, walked around Jia Qing as soon as she lifted her footsteps.

After walking two steps, Jia Qing asked from behind, "Why didn't I see my aunt today?"

"She said that the mansion is busy these two days and it's not easy to disturb her, so she didn't come. She just asked me to come and say hello."

"Oh, I was injured the other day, thanks to my aunt and sister Bao who came to see me again and again, and even sent me ginseng and medicine. I was about to thank my aunt face to face."

"Brother Qing will be fine once he recovers from his injuries, so what's the point of thanking you?"

"That's not right, since Auntie didn't see her, I would like to thank Sister Bao as well."

Jia Qing said with a smile, but did not get any more responses, knowing that Baochai abides by the rules of etiquette, it is inconvenient to joke with him casually.Maybe, when we move to the garden in the future, the situation will be different without the presence of elders.
