Xia Mai saw that the other party had given in, so he didn't pursue it too much. He just asked angrily: "Tell me if you have anything, the same thing. Our aunt is busy now and has no time to talk to you."
After hearing what Xia Mai said, Jin Chuan started to argue angrily. Yu Chuan pinched her wrist tightly and pulled her behind him. Jin Chuan seemed to understand something at this time and looked into the room.
One glance and he no longer said anything.
Yu Chuan tried his best to smile while dragging his sister, "There is nothing urgent, just the master's order. We are going to have a reunion dinner together tonight. Let's inform my aunt. If the master is here, we will tell her again."
Already."
"I know, I'll tell my aunt and uncle in a moment. You can go back when everything is alright. Don't hang around here all the time." Xia Mai raised his head high and said to them.
Yuchuan still smiled and said: "In that case, let's leave first. We will tell Aunt Zhao later and ask her to go with Brother Huan."
Xia Mai didn't want to hear what they had to say, so he waved his hands to them and told them to leave quickly.
Yu Chuan and Jin Chuan then exited Aunt Zhou's yard. After walking a few steps out of Aunt Zhou's yard, Jin Chuan said fiercely: "Why did you stop me just now? Are you with those slaves who climb up and down?
Are we the same? We want to climb up to the great master."
Yuchuan was speechless. This sister's foolish loyalty to Mrs. Wang had reached a point of hopelessness. Did she really think she could fight against the uncle? Yuchuan didn't want to pay attention to herself and walked forward alone.
Although Jin Chuan said a few angry words, he still knew that his sister was doing it for his own good. He hurried forward and took a few steps to catch up with Yu Chuan, careful not to let him know: "What my sister just said was angry. Please don't be angry."
, when the monthly payment is paid this month, I will buy you the latest rouge."
"Who wants your rouge? You should keep it for yourself. Otherwise, what will the third master eat when he comes?" Yu Chuan was not really angry, but he just couldn't do anything about his sister's sudden shrewdness and sometimes confusion.
Jin Chuan heard his sister say that Mr. Bao's face turned as red as an apple after he ate his own rouge. He hurriedly left his sister behind and ran forward.
Yuchuan has absolutely nothing to do with this sister. She is now focused on pleasing Mrs. Wang so that Mrs. Wang can arrange her to live in Jia Baoyu's room. She doesn't care about anything else.
But it seems to Yuchai that this is completely impossible. Everything about Jia Baoyu is handled by Jia Mu. She has to arrange a maid for him. If Jia Mu doesn't nod, no one can enter Jia Baoyu's room.
But the shameful things that my sister and Jia Baoyu have done, once people find out, I am afraid they will either be paired up or sold out. There will be no good ending. Yuchuan is very worried about her sister.
Several times, she was the only one who covered it up.
Seeing the two sisters leaving, Xia Mai re-entered the house. After entering the house, he faced Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou and said, "Aunt, sir, my wife's maid just came to deliver a message. The master is hosting a family banquet tonight.
We want everyone to have a reunion dinner together, they are here to tell the uncle and aunt."
Jia Ke nodded, and then said: "Father is going to take care of me, so let's prepare early. Don't go late and let others think that I have some meager achievements and look down on others."
"What you said is very true. Let's go now and go early so that we can pay our respects to Madam and Master." Aunt Zhou said in agreement.
Jia Ke smiled and said to Aunt Zhou: "There's no need to be so hasty. At least let me change my clothes. Otherwise, what would it be like to wear this armor to a banquet?"
Only then did Aunt Zhou see that Jia Ke was still wearing the armor, and she laughed when she saw this: "I told you why when I was supporting you just now, you felt stiff, and I never noticed that you were still wearing this thing."
Xia Mai covered her mouth and snickered beside her, "Once I see my uncle, I don't care about anything else. As long as there are living people, I don't care about anything."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou glared at Xia Mai and said, "What are you still doing here? Why don't you quickly prepare bath water for your uncle so that he can bathe and change clothes."
Xia Mai was startled by Aunt Zhou and ran out quickly. But she came back just as she left the house.
"Why are you back again? You are so lazy. What will you do in the future?" Zhou Niniang thought that Xia Mai had arranged the matter for other little maids.
When Xia Mai heard that Aunt Zhou was wronged, she could only pouted and said: "I want to do this myself. But I have something to tell my aunt. Our uncle's clothes are already too small. What can he use now?"
Change and wash.”
Aunt Zhou also felt a little troubled after hearing this. It has been five or six years since Jia Ke left home. He has grown from a boy of fifteen or sixteen to a man of twenty-one or two. There are no clothes at home that fit him.
Jia Ke saw them in trouble and said with a smile: "Don't worry, aunt. When I came back this time, Qiaolian and the others prepared some clothes for me. I was in a hurry just now and was still with the soldiers. You sent
Just tell Butler Lin and they will deliver it in a moment."
Aunt Zhou was relieved. Now that she heard him mention Qiaolian, she thought of her niece again. She hadn't seen her for so many years and she didn't know what it was like now.
"Are Qiaolian and Chuncao okay?"
"Don't worry, aunt, they are fine now. I have taken them into a house now. They are also aunts in the Jieduzheng's house, and they are not being controlled by the superiors. I don't know how comfortable they are." Jia Ke briefly told Chun Cao and Xia
Mai's situation was explained to Aunt Zhou.
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Aunt Zhou's smile became even brighter. Now the Zhou family had hope. With Jia Ke taking care of her, her brother would have nothing to worry about in his life.
When Aunt Zhou was feeling happy, she glanced sideways and saw that Xia Mai was still standing there. Her eyes shone with envy.
"What are you doing there? Didn't you hear what your uncle said? Why don't you go to Butler Lin quickly and get your uncle's clothes back?" Aunt Zhou said to the maid angrily.
Only then did Xia Mai realize what he was doing and ran outside. He stopped for a moment when he came outside. His envy for Qiao Lian and others did not weaken at all, but became even stronger.
After a while, Xia Mai entered the room again and reported to Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou: "Uncle, the bath water has been boiled. When will you take a bath?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Jia Ke said to Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, I'll go and clean up first, and we'll go to the banquet together later."
"Go quickly, don't waste time letting your father speak." Aunt Zhou was still very afraid of Jia Zheng, and she always listened to Jia Zheng's words as imperial edicts.
Jia Ke left the room, led by Xia Mai to the bathroom, and then drove the maids out. He didn't want to cause any romance just after returning to Jia's house.
Soon Jia Ke finished taking a bath, and then put on the home clothes that Qiaolian and the others had prepared for him. Then he left the bathroom and returned to Aunt Zhou's room.
When Aunt Zhou saw that Jia Ke had finished bathing and changing clothes, she looked at his clothes. They were all made of brocade. It seemed that he was really living a good life as he said just now.
"It's getting late, let's go quickly, otherwise it won't be easy for us to keep your father waiting for a long time." Aunt Zhou saw that Jia Ke had already finished bathing and changing clothes, so she urged Jia Ke to go to the bedroom to meet him first.
Jia Zheng.
Naturally, Jia Ke would not refute her, so the two of them immediately set off for Mrs. Wang's main courtyard without any further stop. After arriving at Mrs. Wang's courtyard, they met Jia Zhu head-on. Presumably they were here to attend a family banquet hosted by Jia Zheng.
.
Jia Ke looked at Jia Zhu carefully and found that he was getting thinner and thinner. He no longer had the original figure of a jade tree facing the wind. However, Jia Ke looked at Jia Zhu. Although he had lost a lot of weight, he was in very good spirits. There was no difference after taking afurong.
That kind of sluggishness, what a Jia Zhu, indeed worthy of being the proud man in the Dream of Red Mansions, who was able to quit taking drugs.
However, in Jia Ke's view, it was still a bit late. Although he quit taking drugs, his body was already broken. It was just a matter of time.
Jia Ke completely admired Jia Zhu's perseverance. In modern society, with various drugs, it is still not possible to completely quit this thing. In ancient times when there was nothing, Jia Zhu actually gave Afurong to her with just her own perseverance.
Quit, he had only seen this kind of situation in novels.
After Jia Zhu saw Jia Ke, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. He completely lost the arrogance of a legitimate son meeting a concubine. Maybe he had already figured it out. Even if he had to be a Jinshi, a high-ranking official, and a horse to ride, he might not be able to catch up.
I went to Jia Ke. So I put down my posture and saluted Jia Ke first.
"My younger brother has met my elder brother. He is not feeling well these days. I didn't go to greet him just now. Please forgive me." Jia Zhu quickly explained to him when she saw Jia Ke, fearing that Jia Ke would have any prejudice.
Jia Ke rushed to help Jia Zhu up, "My brother, are you still so polite? Besides, I don't know your body. It's proper to take care of it at home. What's the point of welcoming me? We used to study together.
Those who grew up playing together will support each other in the future and have a good story."
"My brother's words made me so ashamed. I didn't know how high the world was at that time, but now I regret it, but it's already too late." After Jia Zhu said this, she didn't know what she thought of, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Jia Ke hurriedly comforted him and said: "Brother, there is no need to say such depressing words. I see that although my body is a little thin, my spirit is still good. I think it's nothing serious. As long as I take care of my body and take good care of myself, I think the next subject will be
It’s okay. Even if you can’t get an official position through the imperial examination, for a family like ours, if you want to get an official position, it’s not easy to get it. When the time comes, I will make arrangements for my brother and my virtuous brother, and my virtuous brother will surely get his wish.”
After hearing Jia Ke's words, Jia Zhu grabbed his hand and was extremely moved. "Brother, regardless of the past grievances, he still considered for me. This makes me even more ashamed. From now on, as long as my brother has his destiny, I will respect him in every way."
"Brother, please don't say such things. If something happens in the future, we two brothers will discuss with each other and we will make our Rongguo Mansion the dignitary in Beijing again."
While the two brothers were talking, there might as well have been a burst of laughter behind them, "Okay, brothers working together can be as powerful as gold. If you two do this, I will feel relieved."
Jia Ke and Jia Zhu turned around and saw that Jia Zheng had been standing not far from them for a while. The two brothers quickly stepped forward and bowed to Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng stepped forward to support the two of them, patted their shoulders, and smiled happily. Then he personally pulled them into the inner courtyard one by one.
Aunt Zhou looked at them from the back and felt happy. What she wanted now was peace in the family.
As soon as they entered Mrs. Wang's place, they saw Mrs. Wang bringing Jia Baoyu, Jia Tanchun and all the maids out to greet them.
Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu and others quickly saluted Jia Zheng first. Others said that Jia Baoyu was like a mouse meeting a cat when he saw Jia Zheng. He was so timid and timid, but he was not as cool as usual.
When Jia Zheng saw him like this, he felt a little unhappy. He usually looked at Jia Baoyu fine. But today, Jia Zhu and Jia Ke, who were standing on both sides of him, looked at Jia Baoyu's trembling look.
I feel more and more that this child is not worthy of the spotlight.
Jia Zheng originally wanted to scold Jia Baoyu, but thinking that today was to help Jia Ke, he temporarily endured it. He just glared at Jia Baoyu fiercely, which frightened Jia Baoyu so much that he stood aside.
They were all trembling. They didn't know what they did wrong and made their father angry. But they didn't know that they had suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Jia Zheng led everyone directly into the main hall. Jia Zheng took his seat, and Mrs. Wang accompanied him in the side seat. Aunt Zhou also naturally sat on the other side.
It seems that Aunt Zhou's status has been greatly improved during this period. She only has a small seat in front of Jia Zheng, but this is a symbol of status, indicating that she is no longer an ordinary concubine.
Among the next generation, Jia Ke and Jia Zhu were standing on both sides. Jia Baoyu was still rolled into Mrs. Wang's arms as before. Only the little Jia Tanchun sat down quietly on the soft couch.
As soon as everyone sat down, there was a burst of noise outside, and then a maid came in to report, "Master, Madam, Aunt Zhao is here."
Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Zheng, and then said to the maid: "Then let her come in. Why are you making noise outside?"
After a while, Aunt Zhao came in, holding a small child in her arms, about two or three years old. After she came in, she first bowed to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Then, even if she didn't see Aunt Zhou, she wanted to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhou.
Sit on the chair next to you.
When Jia Ke saw this situation, he frowned. Aunt Zhao was too confused about the situation. It was because of him, Jia Ke, that Aunt Zhou got the title of marquis and general, and her mother sat in this position because of her son. She is now
She is just a concubine who gave birth to a son, and her son was only a few years old, so how could she be qualified to be on an equal footing with Aunt Zhou?
When Jia Zheng saw Aunt Zhao wanting to sit across from Aunt Zhou, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Although he favored Aunt Zhao, he was a person who valued rules. He was also a little unhappy that Aunt Zhao didn't follow the rules, but he still
Wanting her to smooth things over, Yu Shi coughed and said to Aunt Zhao, "I'm a little thirsty. Bring me a bowl of tea."
Aunt Zhao is also smart, otherwise she would not have lived safely under Mrs. Wang for decades and given birth to a son and a daughter in the Dream of Red Mansions. When she heard Jia Zheng's instructions, she knew that Jia Zheng was a little unhappy, so she gave birth to a daughter.
The child in her arms was handed over to the nanny next to her, then she turned around, poured a cup of tea for Jia Zheng from the table next to her as if nothing had happened, then handed it to Jia Zheng with a smile, and then stood pretty next to Jia Zheng.
