The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Keqing said angrily: "You just think I don't exist, right? Tomorrow, a monk and a nun will be a pair!

Miaoyu said angrily, "Second Master, you won't tear her mouth."

Jia Lian held them all in his arms, "There are several offices in this garden, which are directly connected to the outside through secret passages. Only you know, and don't let the slightest bit of information leak out."

Ke Qing smiled and said, "Second Master, where is your secret passage? It's like a labyrinth. If you turn it twice, you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and west."

Miaoyu also said, "I'm just curious, if it weren't for the deep foundation of the city wall and the moat outside, would the second master let people open the hole directly outside the city?"

Ke Qing echoed: "Maybe there will be a special temple or nunnery or something."

The two of them fed each other crack and oranges, but Jia unknowingly put his hand under the skirt and lifted it up a little bit.

The two of them suddenly blushed.

At this time, Baozhu and Ruizhu will close the door tightly, and it must be a very important thing for the masters to discuss.

Otherwise, the quarrel would not have been so intense. Baozhu Ruizhu would be blushing when he heard it outside, for fear that the second master would not be serious, and what would he do if he hurt the two delicate aunts? At that time, it was really like that. Don't stand up and rescue the aunts from their misery? Should we go or should we go? It's really worrying!

For several days, Jia Liancai returned to the Rong Mansion at the urging of Sister Feng and said that there was a very difficult matter. He needed to go back and make a decision. Just after he got off the horse at the mansion gate, he saw an old country woman walking a few steps and kneeling in front of the corner gate to greet him, Mrs. Man Nafu. "

The servants of the Rong Mansion were busy pulling the horse down for Jia chain, who would go to her? Some people were afraid of hindering Jia Zhu, so they immediately rushed forward: "Come on, this is where you should come?"

The old woman's face was weathered, with a book on her head, her head wrapped around her head, and a coarse cloth dress on her body. It was faintly visible that the repairman inside was also pulling a child with a tiger-headed hat, and her little eyelids were red with cold.

Jia Lian asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here? That old woman, although she is from the countryside, is most observant. Seeing that this person is either a master or a steward, she hurriedly laughed, "I asked my wife to accompany her. Mr. Fang Zhou, Mr. Fan asked him to come out for me. "

Hearing this, Jia Lian knew that this person was Grandma Liu.

He looked at her carefully again, with gray hair and a smile on his face, feeling bitter no matter what.

Perhaps remembering that she would give up all her money to save his daughter in the future, Jia hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Don't do this to the old man" and turned to ask the servants, "Where is Zhou Rui? Tell him to come out immediately!"

Inside, he replied with an old-fashioned look: "If you go back to the second master, the housekeeper Zhou has gone south to Zhou Rui to manage the land rent and Zhuangzi's silver money, and I'm afraid that if I go south, I won't be able to come back for a month or two.

Jia Lian said to Grandma Liu, "It's unfortunate that you came here. But his family lives in the back area, but his wife is at home. When you want to look for it, go around to the back door on the back street from this side and ask."

There is a clever way to lead Grandma Liu.

Jia Lian asked his name casually, and he happily helped Grandma Liu to go.

Jia Lian watched them walk into the alley, then turned around and entered the corner door and returned to the small courtyard. Sister Feng had not yet come down from the old lady's place, only Ping'er Qingwen and the others took the eldest sister in Jia Lian's room in the east room, only Xiangling. He and Jin Chuan'er changed him into a home-made straight jacket, and sat down with a silk sash tied around his waist. Qingwen slipped in and called out sweetly, "Second Master!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I knew it was you just by listening to the footsteps."

Jin'er poured tea and brought it over, smiled and said, "Second Master, this servant will give you a joke."

Jia Lian took a sip from her before letting go, "What joke, let's hear it?"

Jin'er almost blushed.

Wen Xiangling was also not used to it, so she only urged her to tell jokes.

Jin Er took a while to recover and said, "Today, I met an assailant in the small passage of the old lady's corridor. She was dazed on the threshold. It was I who asked her what was going on. She swallowed the leaves. I'm not sure. Just ask me if the second master treats me well. I said that the second master treats us very well, and we eat well and sleep well without beating or scolding."

Asking for flowers 0 Qingwen answered, "I still warm the bed and fold the quilt"

Jia Lian pulled her over, "Don't interrupt! Jin Chuan'er, you continue."

Jin'er gave her a glance and said, "Master knows that the two of us and Xiren have grown up together since childhood, and we can talk about everything. I asked her if she likes our second master?"

Qingwen asked, "And then what?"

Jin'er smiled and said: "Of course she shook her head. She only said that she had passed a sentence to my father last time, and then gossip said that she was going to climb a high branch, which was very ugly. So I persuaded her, it is better to call us here. , Let's be together! Xiren didn't agree, but I think she just refused to admit it. Jia Dao: "I didn't expect it to happen like this.Those mother-in-law have nothing to do all day, making rumors and causing trouble! Sooner or later, a group of people will be punished to make an example."

Qingwen pressed Jia Lian's shoulder and said, "Second Master, at Sister Ping'er's place, Zhou Rui's family brought an old woman from the countryside. She also followed a child, teasing him, and not afraid of me."

At this time, Sister Feng came in with Su Ruman's jade bracelet, and when she saw Dao Jia Lian, she poured out a lot of bitterness, "Good second master, if you can do it well, why don't you give Lan Ge'er a new gentleman?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Why is this? This gentleman is famous for his good teaching. Several of the students he has taught have become Jinshi. People were reluctant to come at first! You can't be disrespectful to Mr.

Feng was about to speak when Ping'er and Zhou Rui's family came in.

Several girls were busy standing beside them.

Feng saw what they had to say and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Rui's family said: "Second grandma, we have an old lady here, who is a relative of the wife's family."

Feng wondered: "What kind of old woman? Have I seen it before?"

Zhou Rui's family said: "I'm afraid the second grandma was young at that time and can't remember."

Sister Feng didn't take it seriously; "Ask me about this too? You go and ask your wife. If she wants to see her, she will take her there. If it is inconvenient, she will be sent away."

If it's normal, the relatives of the Wang family are here, and I can't say that I have to be respectful, but I was just holding back my anger. I bumped into this nosy now, I just want to get rid of it quickly, so that I can discuss with Jia Lian about the important matter of Zhou Rui's family. Dare to refute, I told Grandma Liu in my heart that I did my best.

Just when she was about to turn around and take Grandma Liu out, Jia Lian stood up and said with a smile, "Since relatives and others have come to the door, why can't she come over? Let's listen to what she has to say."

Chapter [*] When I am proud, it is easy to help. Grandma Liu pulled the board, accompanied me carefully, and did not dare to look around. I saw a person sitting on the kang under the south window, bright pink, brilliant pearls and jade. Take a small copper stoker and pluck the ashes in the hand stove.Ping'er and several girls with similar beauty and jade-like appearance stood by the edge of the kang, some holding tea, some holding plates.

It is expected that this is the Feng girl that Zhou Auntie said.

Sister Feng didn't pick up the tea, didn't raise her head, just brushed the ashes in her hand stove, "If that's the case, then please come in? You're about to use tea, but when you see two people standing on the ground, Sister Feng doesn't get up, her face full of spring breeze. say hello.

Grandma Liu had already paid her respects several times in the underground, and aunt An Feng hurriedly said, "Sister Zhou, get up quickly."

Jia Lian smiled beside him; "Old man, I knew you were a relative of Feng'er's family, so I brought you here, and I didn't turn around a bit."

Grandma Liu just watched "One Twenty" and met Jia, didn't she just meet at the door?"

She smiled and said hello, "Master, are you here too?"

An aunt, a grandfather, is this generation really? Zhou Rui's family is busy reminding her: "This is our second master chain!"

Grandma Liu jumped and knelt down hurriedly, not knowing that my uncle would greet you in person!

Jia Lian helped her sit on the edge of the kang.

Grandma Liu was a little flustered, "How to make it?"

Jia smiled and said, "Grandma, you are so old, you should be like this!"

Ban'er hid behind her back, refusing to come out to greet him.

It was Qingwen who took out two pieces of candy to coax it, and it took effect immediately, and kowtowed to Sister Jia Lianfeng.

When Sister Feng saw Jia Lian paying respects to Grandma Liu, just because she was a relative of her own family, her face softened and she smiled; "The relatives don't move around much, they are all alienated. I'm young and I don't know very well, please forgive me."

Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "Our family is difficult and we can't walk. When we came here, we didn't talk to auntie, and even the housekeepers didn't look like it."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "It makes people feel cold. If I can think about it, I'm thinking of old feelings. Jia Lian asks Ping'er to pour tea for her.Relatives can't be based on the rich and the poor, who hasn't had a time of distress and poverty? Don't be like this, grandma!"

The wrinkles on Grandma Liu's forehead stretched out a little, "Our village family only shovels food in the ground, and we don't expect anything to happen. Now I put my face to the lord's gate, and I see the world, and I don't care. A life in vain."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Whether it is a mansion, a mansion or a broken house, it is only a temporary residence.

You came in from the outside and saw that it was big inside. In fact, the place where I live is only in this small courtyard, perhaps not as rich as yours. "

Grandma Liu smiled cautiously: "Second Master is polite. How can we compare?"

Here, Sister Feng asked someone to grab some fruit and eat it, and asked some gossip, and then said to Grandma Liu; "Madam has no time to spare today, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you, thank you for thinking about it."

Grandma Liu said: "I didn't say much, but I just came to see Mrs. Aunt, Grandma."

Zhou Rui's family said: "If you have anything to say, just go back to the second grandmother, it is the same as the wife." After saying that, he gave Liu Hua a wink to understand Liu's grandma, and his face flushed before saying a word. Why did you come? I had to say shamefully, "It's my first time auntie, but I shouldn't say it. It's just that I came here from your old age, and I can't say much."

Just when I said this, I only heard the girl outside the curtain say: "Lan Ge'er is here."

Feng hurriedly stopped Grandma Liu; "I don't need to say it" and said to Jia Lian: "It must be for that? Jia Lian is also surprised that Jia Lan never stirs up trouble, and he is so good that people almost forget his existence. Hearing the sound of footsteps all the way, a five- or six-year-old child entered, with a handsome face, a light fur and a treasure belt, and he was like a cloud and mud from the board.

When Grandma Liu stood up, Sister Feng stopped smiling: "Just sit, it's my nephew Grandma Liu who sat on the edge of the kang.

Jia Lan came in to salute Sister Jia Lianfeng.

Jia Lian asked with a smile, "What's the matter with you? Who can tell me?"

Jia Lan looked at Sister Feng timidly.

Feng said, "Just talk to your uncle."

There were tears in Jia Lan's eyes, stubbornly refusing to flow down, "Second Uncle, can you please let Mr. Zhao go?"

Jia Lian frowned and said, "Who wants him to leave? I just heard from your mother before, that you have made great progress in your studies. Does Mr. Zhao still praise you?"

Jia Lan lowered his head and did not speak.

Sister Feng only got off the kang, "Brother Lan, I'm discussing this with your uncle. Don't worry about it, you and your mother. There is always a way!

Jia Lan bowed Jia Lian obediently, not knowing the cause and effect, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, you won't be left without books, go, there are still guests here, I'll find you later!

Jia Lan responded, Fang slowly retreated here, and Grandma Liu was calm, and then said: "Today is not for anything else, just because his mother is at home, and he doesn't even have anything to eat. If it's cold again today, The more I think about it, I have no choice but to take you and run away."

After talking, she went to push Ban'erfeng and understood, but she glanced at Jia Zhu, secretly annoyed and lost the face of the Wang family, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't say it, I know."

Because of Zhou Rui's family: "You take this grandma to the east side of the house for dinner. I can't accompany you."

Jia Lian sent it out and smiled; "There are still three poor relatives in the imperial court! But your royal family doesn't have one? But what is her relationship with you? You don't know it either."

Feng shook his head, and called Zhou Rui's family to Zhou Rui's family again: "Their family was not a family, but because they had a surname, they used to be an official in the same place with the old master. ."

Sister Feng listened to it and said, "What do I say, where did this grandma come from? If you ignore it, you will be called Er Ye a joke again."

Jia Lian is already too enthusiastic at this moment, it is hard to say anything, "She is not easy. Just don't let her come back empty-handed."

When Grandma Liu finished eating, she pulled a board and came over to thank her.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "We should take care of each other between relatives. Grandma, if you can come, you still think of us. If you don't become more distant, people who don't know you will only be afraid of ridiculing me. 2B and others are arrogant. It's a coincidence that you are here too. Now. The thirty taels of silver that our girls used to make clothes haven’t been touched yet. If you don’t think it’s too little, just take it for now.”

Then Grandma Liu's heart burst, and she felt itchy when she heard the silver lining, and said, "Ah, as the saying goes, a dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so how come you are thicker than our waists! "

Jia Lian smiled and said: "If the old man is in good health in the future, and he has free time, he can come and go, and there is no need to fix the time, talk about country interests, strange vernacular, and it is also a relationship between relatives. Sister Feng said: "We two Ye is a talkative charitable man, and you don't know how to suit him, even if you do as he does.It will be late, I will hire a carriage to take you back, say hello to the family, come again!"

Grandma Liu just took the money and went outside with Zhou Rui's family.

Chapter [*] The arrival of Grandma Liu, who can't read the book in the end, is just a small episode. Jia Lian shows his kindness as much as possible. That's enough. If you meet, give her a thousand taels of silver. At that time, even Sister Feng would wonder what the relationship between Grandma Liu and Jia Lian was? A country old woman whose Wang family was not even a relative, how could He Dehe let the dignified prince give in so deliberately? , Sister Feng hastily pulled Jia Lian to sit on the kang, "Second Master, this matter is very difficult right now, I am in a dilemma."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I was interrupted by Grandma Liu just now. Brother Lang was so wronged, and even the elder sister-in-law wouldn't let him come to me to talk."

Sister Feng smiled and sighed: "It still has to start with the Mr. Zhao you invited back. In the first few days, Brother Lan and Brother Qiong'er Huan brother and nephew were studying together. My brother is not bad, even if I don’t even mention Gan Cong. My sister-in-law is overjoyed, and she came to us for the first time to express her gratitude.

Jia Lian nodded and said: "I also thought that Lan Ge'er could read in our family, but Brother Huan was beyond my expectations. He has a mother like that, and it's already pretty good for him to be 12. Feng Dao: " What do you say! It's been rumored in the family these days, and I don't know how the wife found out that the wife specially called the elder sister-in-law to go there, and after inquiring carefully, she wanted to put Baoyu in there too, it would be beneficial."

Jia Lian frowned, "It's not surprising that Mrs. Bi Yi Baoyu doesn't study because of her heart disease."
