The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 371 Grandma Rong is Happy

The year before last was probably the busiest year in the Jia Mansion for many years.

Since Fourth Master Min left last year, the mansion has not been so lively.

Fourth Master Min came back this year, and I thought it would be lively again.

During the few days when Fourth Master Min was at home, it was really lively.

Just the scene where fourth master begged to see the emperor in front of the palace reminded me of it, and I still feel excited to this day.

Regardless of the good or the bad, fourth master's courage alone is enough to make people's blood boil.

When Baoyu and the others were at home, there would be some lively scenes from time to time, but those seemed to be clichés, and people were no longer surprised by them.

Only when the wintersweet flowers were around, it seemed worth discussing that he and Baoyu were crazy all day long.

But now Baoyu and others have left, and the wintersweet flowers are gone.It's not even that lively anymore.

The more boring you are, the more you need to have some fun.However, the current fun seems to be just chatting together.

The old lady has nothing to do these few days, Yuanyang has time to walk around and relax.

Previously, Ping'er was the closest to her, but now that Ping'er is away, she has no choice but to come to Xiren.

Because Baoyu left, Xiren was bored, so he started to fight.It's not about making money, but mainly about killing time.

"Second Master Bao is gone, can you have Xin'er back?"

The old lady was naturally the first to know if Baoyu had any news.As the old lady's personal secret, Yuanyang will naturally know about it immediately.

If Xiren wanted to know, it might be the last wave.

When Baoyu was at home, she still had some status. If Baoyu was not at home, she was just a slightly respectable servant girl.

In the eyes of other masters, her status dropped sharply.No one would think of it, and tell her what news the first time.

This point, as a mandarin duck who is used to the situation in the mansion, is actually very clear.The reason why I say this is just to find something to say.

"Where is there any letter? It has been three months since I left, and I don't know if it has arrived. Besides, even if there is any letter, who will tell us that Second Master Bao is not at home?"

Xiren can't help feeling a little resentful.

"It should be here, the year before last, Fourth Master Min and the others arrived in less than two months."

"How can they be compared with Fourth Master Min? Although Fourth Master Min has a bit of a temper, he is capable of doing things. He can do whatever he wants to do. Although Second Master Bao is a good person, he is not good at doing things. It can't be compared with Fourth Master Min."

"Hey, Fourth Master Min is gone now. I don't know where he is now? It's a little weird to Xiang Ping'er."

Yuanyang not only felt a little emotional.

"Sister Yuanyang, according to me, you don't need to worry about Ping'er. She is smart and smart, and now she is with Fourth Master Min. She just climbed up to Gao Zhi'er and became a half-master. Where is it?" Do you still need us slaves to think about it?"

"That's true, even Qingwen is going to ask Fourth Master Min to take her into the room. It's a good time."

"Not only Ping'er and Qingwen, Fenghua, Xueyue, Magpie, and Thrush, in our eyes, what are they? Now all of them are redeemed, and they have their own businesses, making a lot of money every day. It's us , said it is decent, think about it, how can it compare with others?"

Xiren had this idea, but it was a bit strange to call Yuanyang.However, if you think about it carefully, you don't think there is anything strange.

This person is afraid of comparison.No need, I still feel that I am good at everything, and when I compare, I can compare myself.

Qingwen's status in the mansion was not as good as the two of them.Now, even magpies and thrushes seem to be much stronger than them.There will naturally be some injustice in my heart.

"Xi Ren, I remembered what you said. Last year when Ning'er came back to pay respects to her ancestors, I didn't recognize it. She seemed to be a completely different person. How could she still be the same as before? In the past, when we were walking on the road, we didn’t even know who he was, but now when we meet, we all look up to him.”

"Isn't that what it is? Everyone doesn't say it on the surface, but they are discussing it behind the scenes. It is said that as long as you follow Master Min, you will have a future. After thinking about it, isn't it just a matter of time?"

"Then why don't you go with Second Master Bao this time?"

"One is not to let go, and the other is to go so what?"

"Follow Second Lord Bao, he earned military merits, and you will also develop accordingly."

"He earns military merits? Yuanyang, it's not that I say behind my back that I am my master. For one thing, I agree with Fourth Master Min very much."

"What do you agree with him?"

"It's about Second Master Bao earning military merit. Fourth Master Min didn't let them go. I think it's right. Is it so easy to earn military merit? I asked Sister Ping'er, Fourth Master Min's soldiers, training is very hard. , You can become a master only when you have to endure hardships. That's why you can earn military merits."

"Look at Second Master Bao and the others, where are they training seriously? If they really went into battle, it would be worrying."

"Since they went, it must be reasonable, right? The old lady, the madam, the eldest master, and the second master all want to go."

"I heard that they even quarreled with Fourth Master Min over this, is there such a thing?"

"It's not really a quarrel, it's just that Fourth Master Min didn't want to ask Second Master Bao and the others to go, fearing that they would die. Didn't they just go to the Wang family's military regiment later. In fact, Fourth Master Min was also kind."

"I heard from Lai Da and the others that Fourth Master Min refused to let him go because he was afraid that Second Master Bao would take military merit with him. I was also surprised. Fourth Master Min didn't seem to be such a person? That's how it is. This is a misunderstanding of Min. Fourth Master."

"Although we don't understand military and state affairs, fourth master Min even opposes the emperor's war, so he must not be so narrow-minded, afraid that some of them will make meritorious deeds."

"Oh, it's true, Fourth Master Min. I didn't expect that I would lose my fame and official status because of this incident. It's a pity."

"It's not necessarily a pity. Fourth Master Min will no longer be an official. By then, he will be busy with the business of the mansion, and the servants will be able to earn more money. Maybe whoever follows him will redeem himself by then."

"That's true. Fourth Master Min always thinks of his servants. Among the masters, there is only one."

The two were talking when Daiyu came in.Seeing that the two were talking, they left without saying anything.

Xiren hurriedly chased after him and held Zicuckoo.

"Miss Lin is here, but what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, just boring, walking around. Is there any news about Second Master Bao?"

"I don't have any here. If you want to know, you have to ask elsewhere."

"We're going somewhere else."

"Where to go?"

"Go to the East Mansion. I heard that Grandma Rong seems to be happy. The imperial doctor is here. The old lady and the others have all gone."

"Is this true?"

"That's how it's spread, and I'm also inquiring about it. If you have news about Second Master Bao, please go and tell me. My girl is also in a hurry."

"Even the mandarin ducks don't know, so there's no news. If I know, I'll tell you of course. Sigh, it's been three months, and I'm so anxious."

"My girl has figured it out. Even if I get to Bukui, it will take some time to reply to the letter. It won't be that fast. Well, I'm leaving."

When the attacker comes back, the mandarin duck is leaving too.

"It just so happens that I'll go with you to visit the East Mansion. Grandma Rong is happy. This is a big event."

When Yuanyang and Xiren arrived at Ningguo Mansion, they saw that many people were already here.

After a while, Doctor Zhang came out.Followed by the old lady, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, You Shi, Wang Xifeng.All faces beaming.

"Old lady, please rest assured that the pulse has been fixed. When the time comes, I will inevitably come to discuss a wedding wine with the old lady."

"If that's the case, don't say one cup, even a thousand cups, I will give it to you. If you lie to me, don't blame me for demolishing your house."

Everyone burst into laughter.

After seeing off Dr. Zhang, they went to the old lady's room together.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Wang Ziteng's younger brother Wang Zisheng coming.

"I have seen my ancestors, and my ancestors are overjoyed."

"Oh? Is there any happy event for me?"

"Just now my nephew Wang Xin wrote a letter, saying that they have arrived in North Wendura, where they fought against the Tatars, and won the first battle. The Tatars surrendered with eight thousand cavalry. As soon as the imperial army arrived, the Tatars Look invincible. Baoyu and the others are also very good, so let the family not worry about it, and when they return victorious after earning military service in the future, they will kowtow to the old lady to pay their respects."

"Look, did I say that Baoyu is promising? This time he won the battle, has he been promoted?"

"I just went here, how can it be so fast? The battle can only be rewarded after the battle is over. Old lady, please relax and wait for the good news."

Wang Zisheng left, and everyone was still immersed in joy.

"Congratulations to the old lady, now Baoyu has also earned military service, which is really gratifying."

Although Mrs. Xing said so, she felt a little disapproving in her heart.

This has only just started, so we may not know what will happen in the future.

"Not only congratulations to our family, but also to Aunt Xue. It's all over now, and Brother Pan is doing well, so Aunt Xue should be happy too. Aunt Xue, don't leave today, and I'll cook dinner at my place in a while .You all stay too."

The old lady thought about it for a while.

"I just felt like I didn't talk about something. Brother Feng, go and invite an opera troupe. Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is happy today, and Baoyu and the others won the battle again. Double happiness, so have a good time. "

"We are all under the influence of our ancestors now. It's just that my uncle reported the news like this, but it's inappropriate."

Wang Xifeng said solemnly.

"What's wrong with this? Is it wrong to come to announce the good news?"

Youshi was puzzled and asked for everyone.

"Yeah, you hot pepper, tell me, what's wrong?"

Jia's mother is also puzzled by Wang Xifeng's righteousness.

"Of course it's inappropriate. If I report the letter, I will report it in four days. The first day is for Baoyu, the second day is for Huan's third brother, and the third day is for Brother Rong. Report to Brother Pan on the fourth day."

"You Poor Monkey, it's all right if you report it together, why is it so troublesome?"

"That's different. If we divide it into four days, we can have four days of wine and four days of theater. Now that we have signed up together, we can only eat one day of wine and one day of theater. Isn't it called the old ancestor?" Did you take advantage of it? Saved money?"

This time, Wang Xifeng made everyone laugh again.

"It's just that you have so much thoughtfulness, you poor settler. Since you said so, you can eat wine for four days and sing operas for four days. Everyone has enough fun, and it won't save you from calling me stingy."
