In Rongqing Hall, when Jia Baoyu rushed over excitedly, he found that the style of his home today was indeed different from the past.
Not only were there more maids and servants standing everywhere than before, but all of them were holding their breath and focused, devoted to their duties, which was a big change from the previous days of laziness and casualness.
Jia Baoyu slowed down his steps and entered the hall after announcing.
The atmosphere in Rongqing Hall is indeed peaceful. A middle-aged woman with graceful temperament and gorgeous clothes is sitting in the hall. Behind her, there are seven or eight servant women and five or six maids standing. I know him, but when it comes to his clothes and style, he is even more gorgeous than the one in Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Baoyu glanced at the young and beautiful maids, and then, following the etiquette of all young masters, he stepped forward to greet Jia Mu and others in turn.
Jia’s mother was very satisfied with Jia Baoyu’s performance, and said with a smile: “Baoyu, why don’t you come forward to meet Mrs. Zhen’s wife.”
“Baoyu, please meet Mrs. Zhen.”
Jia Baoyu was greatly disappointed because he did not see the Miss Zhen family who was said to be very similar to Daiyu. But then he raised his head inexplicably, because as he greeted him, the graceful and dignified Mrs. Zhen in front of him did not respond at all, but just stared at him with wide eyes.
As a result, not to mention Jia Baoyu, even Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, etc. were all surprised.
It was a maid from the Zhen family who saw her wife being rude and coughed twice before reminding her to come over.
Mrs. Zhen’s wife and Jia Mu and others looked at each other, their eyes still filled with surprise. Regardless of social etiquette, she stood up and walked to Jia Baoyu, looking him up and down. After talking to each other, Fang and Jia Mu said apologetically: "Madam, please don't be surprised. There is such a coincidence in the world. It was just a little girl before. Unexpectedly, the second son of your house also had an affair with that incompetent boy of my family." They are so similar!”
“Oh, is such a coincidence really possible?”
When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard this, they both felt very strange. Through previous chats, they all knew that Mrs. Zhen was a dignified and self-possessed person, and would not pretend to be so to bring the relationship between the two families closer. Judging from her expression just now, could there really be such a coincidence in the world?
When they saw the fourth young lady of the Zhen family just now, they were also startled.
Jia Baoyu didn’t care too much about who he was like in life. He only mentioned words such as “previous little daughter” from the words of Mrs. Zhen’s wife just now, and his mind suddenly became active. Could it be that that lady is really here?
The servants and wives of the Zhen family were afraid that the Jia family would not believe what their wives said, so they all echoed their words, saying that Jia Baoyu and their second master BaoThey were so similar, and they were all called "Baoyu", which made Jia Mu and others marvel.
While he was laughing and chatting, he heard the sound of orioles singing on the back porch, and then several maids opened the way, and a group of beautiful girls walked in.
It is sisters such as Sanchun and Daiyu.
Jia Baoyu subconsciously wanted to go up to him, but just raised his leg for a step, and his body suddenly stopped. Mu looked ahead foolishly and murmured: "Oh my god, how can there be two Lins?" Sister?"
Jia Baoyu's reaction and words made Jia's mother and everyone else couldn't help laughing. Even Sanchun, Baochai and others were smiling. Only Daiyu and Zhen Yuhuan, who were holding hands with her, were a little embarrassed.
But then the two of them looked at each other, and their two pretty little faces, as beautiful as hibiscus, couldn't help but smile.
Looking at each other is like looking in a mirror, they both feel so magical.
Following the beckons of Jia Mu and Mrs. Zhen’s family, Daiyu and Daiyu separated and snuggled into the arms of their elders.
While holding Daiyu's weak body, Jia Mu saw Jia Baoyu staring at her daughter with bulging eyes, so she smiled and said: "Baoyu, this is your second brother Lian who met in Nanjing." I haven’t met my foster sister, your sister, yet.”
“Uh, it’s... Baoyu, I’ve met this sister...”
Jia Baoyu's eyes were unwilling to leave the girl in front of him for a moment, who was almost exactly the same as Daiyu. He felt that God must be very kind to him. Otherwise, how could he bring this girl in front of him?
At this moment, the girl in red and the second girl were all out of his sight. In his eyes, he only saw the clean daughter in front of him who was smart, graceful, and caring.
Perhaps it was because of today’s series of coincidences, or perhaps it was because Jia Baoyu and her precious son were so similar that they loved each other so much that Mrs. Zhen’s wife did not feel that Jia Baoyu was so “crazy”. Being rude, he pulled his daughter in his arms and motioned for her to stand up and return the favor.
So, Zhen Yuhuan, who had rarely seen her husband and was a little shy, slowly stood up. After a brief greeting with Jia Baoyu, she found that Jia Baoyu's eyes were getting more intense, so she couldn't help hiding it. Behind my mother.
"Baoyu..."
Seeing that her son was acting stupid again, Mrs. Wang was about to chase after Mrs. Ren Zhen's wife. She couldn't help but laugh and call out. Wake up Jia Baoyu. Facing Mrs. Wang's signaling gaze, Jia Baoyu walked back slowly, but the way she looked every three steps made the Sanchun sisters burst into laughter.
Only Jia Mu saw it and had other thoughts in her heart.
She has an easy-going nature and is accustomed to wealth, so her love for Jia Baoyu is a bit more pure than that of Mrs. Wang.
Seeing Jia Baoyu look like this, how could she not know that Jia Baoyu has reached the age of being sensible and begins to admire Shaoai.
If Daiyu was like this before, so was the fourth lady of the Zhen family in front of her. Mother Jia, who felt a little sorry for her precious grandson because of Daiyu's incident, couldn't help but glance at Zhen Yuhuan again and nodded secretly.
After continuing to chat for a few words, Mrs. Zhen's wife looked around and said: "It's getting late, madam, it's time for me to say goodbye."
Jia Mu He said hurriedly: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't you want Yu Huan to meet her adopted brother..."
As she said this, Jia Mu thought that Mrs. Zhen's wife was angry because she had waited too long. , so he asked the people around him: "Didn't you say that Lian'er has returned home? Why haven't you come over yet?" Let's go."
"Well, what happened to their master that they have to come to him at this time?"
" Jia Mu was a little unhappy. Jia Lian had always gone her own way, but Jia Zheng was a filial person, and now he dared to intercept the person she summoned. Could it be that he was imitating Lian'er and not taking her seriously.
So while stabilizing Mrs. Zhen’s family, she ordered someone to rush her.
Suddenly Lin Zhixiao’s family came back and said with a smile: “Old lady, happy event, great happy event.”
“What happy event?”
“Let’s The second master of the family has been promoted again!!"
Everyone in Rongqing Hall was silent. Mrs. Zhen's eyes rolled. She had already thought about how to refuse Jia Mu's attempt to stay, so she immediately sat back on the half of her buttocks that had been moved away.
…
When Jia Lian returned to Rongqing Hall from Mengpo Zhai, she found that the maids on the corridor looked at her with reverence and respect. Worshipful.
In response, Jia Lian quickly understood that it was his promotion that had spread.
Speaking of which, Jia Zheng’s information is fairly well-informed.
Entering Rongqing Hall, he met Jia Mu, Mrs. Zhen’s wife and others one by one. Jia Mu first asked him about his promotion.
Jia Lian said casually: "It is indeed a promotion. Your Majesty wants to form a new type of Forbidden Army organization and promote me to the position of commander."
Jia Lian does not want to He talked about firearms with Jia Mu and other women and children, but he didn't plan to talk about going to Tianjin to build warships.
“SurprisinglyWas he transferred to the Forbidden Army, or was he the commander? "
Even though what Jia Lian said was very simple, it still shocked Jia Mu and others. The imperial army is the soldiers and horses that guard the imperial city and protect the emperor. In the eyes of ordinary people, that is The most glorious and noble army in the world.
"It is not that I will be transferred to the Forbidden Army, but Your Majesty asked me to create a new army under the control of the Forbidden Army. In terms of Pinyi, I only started from the third level, which is a level up from what I had before. ”
After emphasizing the explanation again, Jia Lian stopped talking and turned to look at Zhen Yuhuan.
Even if she had seen her before and was mentally prepared, when she saw her again When she was her foster sister, Jia Lian was still worried.
There was no way, she was so similar to Daiyu.
People in the Jia family used to say The longer Xiangling grows, the more she looks like Qin Keqing. Even Jia Lian himself asked Xiangling to wear Qin Keqing's clothes for comparison... Don't tell me, they really look like each other!
Ling, Jia Lian can easily tell them apart.
This Zhen Yuhuan...
Don't say she wears the same clothes as Daiyu, she just wears different ones, change places appeared, Jia Lian felt that he might admit his mistake.
They were more twins than twins!
“Sister, long time no see. "
"Yu Huan, meet your sworn brother~"
Facing Jia Lian, Zhen Yuhuan looked more natural. Her eyes, as smart as Daiyu's, looked at Jia Lian's. Her eyes were flickering, as if she was curious: Brother, you are so young, how can you be so good at being an official?
Jia Lian saw that she looked cute, and was about to say something to tease her, when he suddenly felt There were sharp eyes in the distance. Jia Lian turned around and saw that it was Daiyu girl staring at him. Jia Lian smiled, turned around and sat aside.
As soon as he sat down, Mrs. Zhen's wife followed Jia Lian After his mother and others asked about Jia Lian's official affairs, she actually seemed to be more concerned about Jia Lian's future than Jia's mother, an ancestor.
Jia Lian smiled inwardly, and after a few perfunctory words, asked: "Since It has been more than half a year since I last said goodbye to my wife in Jinling. I wonder why the wife came to Beijing with her adopted sister this time? "
"This, this... the main reason is that your sister is weak and sick all the year round. We don't know how many famous doctors from Jiangnan have been invited, but there are no results. That's why we thought of taking her to the capital to see her. look. On the way, I also visited my family and friends in Beijing. "
"That's it. It just so happened that I actually knew a few famous doctors in Gyeonggi Province, so I invited them over later to have a diagnosis and treatment with my adopted sister. "
"Why go to all this trouble. "
Jia Mu suddenly interrupted and said with a smile: "I often take medicine, and I know all the doctors in the palace who are skilled in medicine. I think the symptoms on Yu Huan's girl are probably the same as my Yu'er's.
The imperial physician Wang in the palace was very good at treating the infirmities of his children. Well, why don't you just stay here with us, and tomorrow or later, I'll invite him over and show him to the two girls. "
"This, I'm afraid it's inappropriate and too troublesome. "
" "What's the trouble?" We happen to have a lot of girls in our family, and I think the Yuhuan girls get along well with them. Letting them play together and keep company is not necessarily good for their health.
That’s it. From the first moment, I liked Yu Huan, so I wanted to keep her by my side and talk to my old man, not to mention treating her. ”
No one in the Jia family is surprised by Jia Mu’s words. Everyone knows that she likes to be lively. Children from relatives usually like to stay as guests as long as she likes them. .
Mrs. Zhen’s wife was a little embarrassed when she saw Jia Mu speaking so politely and enthusiastically, and couldn’t help but look at her daughter.
When Zhen Yuhuan saw this, she immediately became interested. In Jinrong Before entering the government, she had never thought that the Jia family would have so many sisters of the same age as her!
Moreover, these sisters in the Jia family were all smart, smart, dignified and polite, and compared to her own family Those sisters are even better. In particular, there is a little sister who is exactly the same as them. They just took her to play in their home. Although it was just a simple look, they could also see the fairyland in heaven.
She is just a girl in her prime, naturally playful. In addition, she is the only one who comes to Beijing with her mother this time. If she can stay in Jia's house and play with these sisters, it will be better than going back to another house. It's a lot more interesting.
Mrs. Zhen understood her daughter's thoughts, smiled, stood up and bowed: "Since the old lady has said so, I don't dare to disobey. It's just that our family has lived in the south for a long time. When we come to Beijing this time, we really should go to the houses of our family friends and relatives.
Therefore, let the younger generation forget it and let Yu Huan girl stay with the old lady and accompany the old lady on behalf of the younger generation. It's just that my little girl is naughty, so I ask the old lady and ladies to be considerate of her. ”
After some pulling by Jia Mu and others, Mrs. Zhen finally left after having dinner at Rongqing Hall.
And Zhen Yuhuan , naturally stayed, which made Jia Baoyu smile all night, and changed from the previous decadence.
"Girl, you sisters and sisters all live in the garden behind. Before They mustI also took you in to have a look.
Think about which of them you would like to live with. If you don't want to, just stay here with me and accompany me. "
After eating tea, Mother Jia looked at the whole room of grandchildren and said to Zhen Yuhuan with a smile.
When Zhen Yuhuan heard this, she immediately looked at Daiyu.< br />
Jia Baoyu became anxious and said quickly: "Old lady, let her live with Sister Bao. Sister Bao is attentive and good at taking care of people. It would be most appropriate for her and Sister Bao to live together in Hengwuyuan. "
As soon as Jia Baoyu said his words, everyone almost understood his little plan.
After what happened before, he can no longer enter the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. If Zhen Yuhuan Living with Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, of course, it was inconvenient for him to go and take a look, so he suggested that Zhen Yuhuan and Baochai live together in Hengwuyuan. It is reasonable and reasonable to be cautious.
However, his words once again Offended Daiyu.
What does it mean that "Sister Bao is careful and can take care of others?" "Is she just careless and able to bully others?
Baochai didn't want to wear this hat either, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister Yuhuan is weak. Hengwuyuan is farther away and the terrain is higher. Let her live with Sister Lin. When the time comes, it will be more convenient for the old lady to seek medical advice for them. "
Zhen Yuhuan didn't know what the secret was. She originally wanted to live with Daiyu, so she took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, can I live with you? ? ”
Daiyu nodded silently.
