I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 2 Negotiation
The corpse was very young, and even though the face was pale, one could still see its good looks in life.The clothes were wrinkled and didn't fit well. They were a little too big and were twisted and not pulled neatly.If you look closely, you can see that she is a young woman. The skin on her hands is not rough, but her clothes and dresses are all the colors of an old woman, and they are still the kind of coarse clothes worn by ordinary working women.

This is not reasonable.

Jia Heo thought to himself when he saw the two people muttering and going out, obviously not wanting to stay with the corpse any longer.She looked for an opportunity and slipped out.

Returning to the small shabby room with air leakage everywhere, Jia He lay down on the cold and damp bed without caring, secretly reprimanded the insects and punished them to go to the roof to blow the cold wind all night, and then she slept peacefully.

No dream until dawn.

Early in the morning, the door creaked open.Yesterday, the good-natured old woman came in, carrying a food box and whispering softly: "I told her not to be disrespectful to the girl, but she refused to listen. Not only did she feel cramped in her stomach, but she also I have a fever and talk nonsense. If you ask me, if you are too evil, you will easily get retribution, so it is better to do things properly."

She was talking to herself, and when she glanced over, she saw the girl looking at her blankly, still as stupid as when she first found her. She couldn't help but feel pity for her, and raised her hand to wipe the sleep marks on the girl's face. , said with a smile: "My cousin is home today, and the kitchen has prepared a lot of good dishes. I grabbed some pastries for you, including ones with red dates fillings, red bean fillings, and a bowl of porridge. Oh, by the way. I also brought a dumpling stuffed with meat. My wife couldn’t eat it and rewarded me with it, so I brought it to you too.”

She knew that the girl didn't understand or understand, but she still placed everything neatly, and deliberately took out the meat dumplings first and placed them on the small plate in front of the girl.

Jia He took a bite of dumplings.It was cold and greasy.If it were the past, she would definitely throw it away and not eat it.But now she raised her eyes and glanced at the mother-in-law. Looking at the kind eyes full of expectation, she swallowed the dumpling hard.

The mother-in-law was immediately overjoyed and couldn't help but push the bowl of food towards her: "If you eat more, you will grow taller and smarter!"

Jia He couldn't help but sneer secretly.Is it useful to tell a fool this?She talks a lot.Even though he was complaining like this, under the expectant eyes of his mother-in-law, Jia He still ate the food with great mercy. Only when he was full, he stopped his chopsticks and glared angrily.

The mother-in-law praised again: "The girl is smart, she knows when she is full." She happily put the dishes back into the food box, washed her hands and helped the girl change her clothes.

She is obviously a girl from a nobleman's mansion, but she only has a few or two pieces of clothing that can cover her body.The mother-in-law picked and picked for a long time, but she couldn't find a set that could meet the guests. She stamped her feet and rushed out, forgetting to even take the food box.

Jia He lay down to rest and just stared in confusion for a while. The mother-in-law came back and brought a clean cotton skirt. She happily put it on her and said: "This is the leftover piece that the second girl wore when she was a child. I asked the second girl for it." The maid next to me asked for it, it looks just right for you."

Second girl?Jia He seemed to remember that he was called Jia Yingchun.I heard that she is a concubine sister in this body, and she has not been raised by her stepmother, Mrs. Xing, since she was a child.This woman was really thoughtful when she was able to find Jia Yingchun in a detour to borrow some clothes.

Jia He then asked: "What is your name? Who is serving you?"

It was just two simple words that made the mother-in-law tremble all over.After reacting, she was not surprised but rather frightened and said: "My husband's surname is Guo. He was originally the sweeper in the second master's yard. The second grandma sent me to serve you. I said that if I serve you well, I will be rewarded."

"What does your man do?"

"Catch the car."

Jia He nodded, raised her hand to let Mrs. Guo help her out of bed, turned around and felt that the clothes fit her well, and then walked out with her hands behind her hands with satisfaction.

Mrs. Guo asked cautiously from behind: "Is the girl well?"

Jia He deliberately spoke slowly and stumblingly: "I learned a little bit about how to speak from you, and I just got a little better at it."

"That's it." Mrs. Guo breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia He shook his head secretly.They all said she was stupid, but if she was asked to tell them, she felt that the person behind was the real stupid one, and she would believe them casually.

Along the way, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but reflect on whether she had said anything she shouldn't have said in front of the girl. What would happen if the girl was not stupid and understood.Feeling anxious, she accompanied the girl to the front room.

From a distance, I saw that it was already full of people.From far away, wanton laughter came: "There is such an iconic figure in the world, I just met it today!"

Mrs. Guo couldn't help but smile: "That's the second grandma, the most cheerful person in this house. When the girl sees her later, she will salute her and say hello. From now on, you and your sister-in-law will always be in harmony if you are under the same roof." Jia He didn't take it seriously, but he was too lazy to argue with a real fool. He just let her be happy and simply nodded and gave up.

Mrs. Guo was very happy when she saw that the girl had become more clever and willing to listen to her instructions.He secretly thought that the girl used to look stupid and silly, and she must have been freezing and starving in that place where she had neither enough food nor clothing to keep her warm.Now I am served with delicious food and drink, and if I teach you a little more, I will always get better.

Mrs. Guo happily stepped forward and opened the curtain to invite the girl into the house.

When she happened to meet the little maids bringing tea and fruits, Mrs. Guo deliberately blocked those maids and let the girl go first.

I don't know if the earth dragon or the fire kang was burned in the room, it was very warm.As soon as I entered, I was hit by a heat wave mixed with the smell of many people.

Jia He was almost dizzy from the smoke, so he quickly calmed down and walked forward with an extremely obedient look.

The moment she stepped into the threshold, seeing everyone's disdainful looks, she suddenly changed her mind, slumped her shoulders and lowered her head, making a wilting look.Seeing an empty seat next to him, he sat on it by himself.

There were whispers, and everyone's eyes turned to her.She didn't care, she just sat comfortably.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing said, "Is this the child you brought back?" I heard that he was a fool, but now it turned out to be the case.

Mrs. Xing had seen this child before and knew that she was mentally retarded. She had mentioned this to her ancestors before. At that time, her ancestors were not very happy to bring back such a silly child, so she said with a smile, "It's her."

"I heard you got a name?"

"The name chosen by the master was originally a nickname with the character "Ran". The family that adopted her since she was a child called her "Qing". I felt it was not good and it did not fit in with the children in the family, so I decided to change it to the character "烃". The master also agrees and says this word looks good."

This kind of naming method is not following the sisters, but following a few masters.

Jia Mu looked displeased.I always knew that the eldest son and daughter-in-law were difficult to carry, but I didn't expect to be so useless.She said: "We will discuss this matter in a few days when we give her a name."

Wang Xifeng was not happy to have a younger sister in her family. She was happy to see such a confrontation. She handed the tea fruit to Lin Daiyu and just whispered to Lin Daiyu.

Mrs. Wang pinched the handkerchief and coughed. She was obviously not happy to see the wild children outside being able to enter the family tree, but she was not willing to bring it up, so she motioned to her niece.

Wang Xifeng said: "It is better to discuss the matter of opening the ancestral hall. Sister Lin is the most important thing now."

Mrs. Xing was very anxious.She has no children of her own. She has been looking forward to it for many years but nothing happened. Now she has a child. No matter whether she is stupid or crazy, at least she has a child of her own on the family tree, and she has a successor. She hurriedly said: "My ancestor promised I think the name is inappropriate. But the master consulted with the master in the temple and said that if the child is too pampered, she may not be able to succeed. If she is raised more aggressively, there is still hope. As a coincidence, she was seriously ill and almost died. She actually got better after being given this name, and she is still young. If things go on like this, this stupid disease may be cured when she gets older."

Several girls in the room laughed softly, obviously thinking that Mrs. Xing's idea was a fantasy.Even if she is still young, who at her age would be as stupid as her?

Jia Mu heard the Buddha's name spoken in her ears and asked, "Which master is responsible?"

Mrs. Xing: "I said I met the old man Fangwai in the mountains and forests. We talked for a long time when we first met, and then when we went back to look for him, we found that the land was flat, with no one and no houses. It was very strange."

Mother Jia thought to herself, in fact, the original girls in the Jia family were all named after the men.It's just that in Baoyu's generation, because Yuanchun was the first, the girls behind him were named after the character Chun. It's not an exaggeration to say that Jia He was like this.So he sighed: "Since the Buddhist master said so, let's choose the word '烃'. Otherwise, the name will be too delicate and difficult to maintain."

"That's it." Mrs. Xing happily waved to Jia He and signaled her to come over.
