Jia’s mother is different from Mrs. Wang’s daily rigidity. Although she is older, she is by no means stubborn. When there are no outsiders at home, Jia’s mother always does not stick to details and talks and laughs with the younger generation.
Mother Jia especially likes children who can do things and talk well, and is more willing to let go of the rules and let everyone talk casually.
Originally, Jia Lian was the most capable of getting things done among the younger generation. Especially recently, he has shown that he has a lot of troubles in his heart, and he cannot help but make Jia Mu look at him differently.
Hearing his laughing voice, Jia Mu couldn't help but smile:
"Come here, with you here, this room will be much more lively.
I told Yuanyang yesterday that Sister Feng left me, an old woman, and went to confinement. I also lost an interesting person around me. From morning to night, I just chewed and moved.
Just one sleep and two people, and they will almost become old losers.
You are willing to come over and talk to me more. It is your filial piety. I still dislike you?"
Jia Lian came in and saw Li, smiling and saying:
"Among the people in this room brought up by the old lady, I am considered a bit of a talkative person. Unlike Sister Feng, I know how to make you happy. I am afraid that even if I tell a joke, I will be ignored and everyone in the room will laugh at me.
”
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately understood that he had something to say alone, so she laughed and said:
"You can go ahead and tell jokes. I asked them all to go out first, leaving only the mandarin duck here. If she doesn't laugh, then you can't blame me."
.
After everyone went out, Jia Mu smiled and said:
"If you have anything to say at this moment, just say it. Yuanyang is absolutely reliable. This kid knows the importance."
Jia Lian suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Jia Mu and said solemnly:
"Today's matter, there is an old lady, the ladies are in front, I am a little frivolous as a junior, please punish the old lady."
Jia Mu stopped smiling and said seriously:
"Today's matter is what I asked you to deal with, so I don't think you are frivolous.
It’s just that what you did today was definitely not done by chance. I am not blind.
I just ask you, since you had a plan, why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
Yuanyang was pouring the tea over, but unexpectedly, the grandfather and grandson, who had been chatting and laughing just now, immediately looked like they were going to accuse each other, which scared Yuanyang.
It's just that Yuanyang is of a safe temper after all, so he hurriedly brought the tea over and gently placed it on the table to temporarily relax the atmosphere.
Jia Lian kowtowed to Jia Mu and said:
"The ancestor is the anchor of the family, and the grandson should discuss his actions with the ancestor before making any decisions.
There is a gambling gathering in our house, which is getting worse and worse. My grandson has asked his men to check it out in the past two days. The reason why I came to see my ancestor today is to talk about this matter.
It just so happened that the third sister revealed the matter just in time. The grandson was a little anxious for a while, and he was really eager to deal with everyone, so he broke the rules."
Jia's mother was not really angry with Jia Lian. She was sullen at this moment, just to warn him that he must make it clear to her next time. She was about to offer words of comfort again, but suddenly what he said was a little unclear, so she continued.
He asked with a stern face:
"Eager to deal with everyone's fault? She can't run away, why are you anxious?"
Jia Lian said seriously:
"In order to force the big dog to jump over the wall."
"Oh?" Jia Mu seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't want to think about it deeply. She paused, sighed, stretched out her hand and said to Jia Lian, "Get up and talk. You can talk to yourself behind closed doors. It doesn't have to be so big.
The rules are so tiring."
Yuanyang heard that Jia's mother's tone had softened, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up the tea from the table and handed it over with a smile:
"When our ancestors drank tea, they first moistened their throats and then continued talking."
Jia Mu took the tea and gave Yuanyang a meaningful look. Yuanyang's face turned red for no reason.
.
"Wow!"
A kiln pastel tea bowl fell to the ground, blossomed, and was shattered into pieces.
Mrs. Wang pointed at the jade bracelet and cursed:
"You dirty, shameless little whore, what are you thinking about in broad daylight? You can't even make a cup of tea, so what are you doing here?"
Yuchuan'er was filled with injustice, but she didn't dare to speak, so she had to kneel down and kowtow repeatedly.
Baochai stood aside, not daring to speak.
Mrs. Wang was still upset and continued to scold Yuchuaner:
"I asked you if my master has come back, and you said you didn't know. I asked you why Aunt Zhao didn't come to serve you, and you said you didn't know. Are you dead? Besides breathing, what else can you do in this room?"
Yuchuan'er knew that Jia Zheng had come back and entered Aunt Zhao's house, but she didn't dare to speak, for fear of making Mrs. Wang angry even more, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Mrs. Wang scolded her for a while, then scolded:
"Clean up and get out. Go to the Buddhist hall and light today's merit incense for me. The Bodhisattvas will be itching to hate what you do next."
Yu Chuaner was in a hurry, and she quickly cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces in the room, and hurriedly closed the door and went out.
.
Baochai sat down on a chair beside him and heard Mrs. Wang complaining:
"Why did my boss tell you to come?
I ask you to work harder for me and take care of things in this house. If you think something is wrong, come and tell me quickly. If you say they don't listen, just tell me. I will naturally support you. Just don't wait.
When the old lady asked, I had no answer.
Look, such a big thing happened today, how can I cope with it?"
Baochai lowered his head and said:
"Today's matter, as far as I'm concerned, is not a big deal. It's just that Lian Er came to deliberately oppose my aunt because of the matter of Feng Yatou."
Mrs. Wang was originally quite dissatisfied with Baochai. After hearing this, she suddenly felt enlightened and nodded:
"When you said this, it reminded me of the same thing.
It was just the old lady playing cards at night, Lian Er shouted to kill her, and beat everyone in public. No matter what, she forced her to reveal Mrs. Hu of the Xue family and the goddaughter of the Zhou Rui family, not just to beat me.
face?"
When Baochai saw that Mrs. Wang no longer complained about him, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he smiled and said:
"Isn't that what you said? The most ridiculous thing is that the old lady lets Jia Lian make trouble.
It's just a card game at night. What's the big deal? Those women didn't just start playing in the past few days.
Besides, the old lady herself plays cards with my mother. I'm not telling you, the old lady's small hands for playing cards are not as big as those of my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Wang smiled coldly:
"The Jia family and the Shi family cannot compare with the Wang family in terms of power, nor can they compare with the Xue family in terms of wealth. It's just Lian Er who caused trouble. The old lady also took the opportunity to make a raft to embarrass me, pretending that I couldn't tell."
Baochai immediately followed Mrs. Wang's words and said:
"My aunt can see it clearly. The third girl is the one who brought up what happened today. Lian Er took the opportunity to lay maggots on us, and the old lady took advantage of it. It can be seen that they are in the same group. I don't care about my aunt asking me to help with the housekeeping."
It’s pleasing to the eye.”
"This third girl always seems to be of the same mind as me, but in fact she is not the same as Sister Feng? She wants to hug the old lady's lap.
She is a girl who was born as a concubine, and her heart is as high as the sky. She only wants to be favored by the old lady and find a good husband in the future. Well, I will not let her get her wish."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang suddenly called out to Yuchuan'er loudly, which frightened Yuchuan'er and quickly walked in.
Mrs. Wang didn’t ask about the merits and incense in the Buddhist hall, but stared and asked:
"Where's the master?"
Seeing that Mrs. Wang's expression was not straight, Yu Chuan'er didn't dare to hide it any more, so she quickly replied:
"I just went to take a look. It was in Aunt Zhao's house."
"Go and ask the master to come over and say that I have something to say!"
Yuchuan'er hesitated for a while and then said:
"Uncle Lai just came in and was talking to me in the room."
