Chapter 113 Announcement
In Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu has left school.
"Second Master!"
The maid Xiren, who was assigned to him by the old lady just this year, held his book and said as he walked: "My aunt and my cousin, Young Master Biao entered the palace in the morning. Second Master Lian was summoned to the palace by the emperor because of escorting them all the way. I heard that he was summoned to the palace because of Master Lin. Now he has been appointed as a doctor in the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War."
"Auntie. Are you already here?"
Baoyu couldn't help but speed up, but he thought of something and quickly slowed down, "Are the second sister and the third sister just like me, and they haven't finished school until now?"
The attacker hesitated for a moment, then finally said: "...No, the old lady just came back and the old lady ordered someone to call them."
She didn't know how this happened.
Obviously last year, Mr. Bao was still the favorite of the old lady and his wife.
But in the blink of an eye, it turns out...
"The old lady didn't call you. I think it's because your studies are more important."
Baoyu: "..."
He was not comforted.
He felt the change in his family's attitude early on.
My parents hope that he can study hard. During this time, he really studied hard.
However, he was studying hard, but his parents didn't seem to care much.
They no longer care about what he learns every day, or whether he can write well in big characters, but the old lady...
"Isn't the eldest sister back from Biyun Temple yet?"< br>
Huh?
Xi Ren was stunned and said: "No, isn't the Hou Cheng family of Xinping going to perform rituals for Princess Baofeng for three days? The girl can only return home tomorrow because of the time."
< br>
"..."
Baoyu stopped talking.
The only one who is good to him in this house now is his eldest sister.
But the eldest sister is not at home.
"Are the aunt and wife getting along well with each other?"
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked another question.
"My aunt is very close to the eldest wife of Dongfu, and she is also very close to the eldest wife of our house."
The house has been divided.
Because Xiren followed Baoyu, he was also counted on the side of the second room.
Except for the courtyard where the masters already live in the second room, there is actually nothing left in this Rongguo Mansion.
My aunt lives in her original yard, but that yard actually belongs to the eldest man's side.
The attacker didn't mention Mrs. Wang because their wife returned to Lixiangyuan on the way. I heard that she was neither salty nor salty when talking to my aunt.
"What about the master?"
Baoyu asked again.
"The master has something to do and has left the house."
Baoyu: "..."
The child already knows that his aunt is not close to their family.
"By the way, Second Master, the eldest wife of Dongfu said that she would invite the gentleman who teaches the second and third girls in the mansion to Dongfu. From now on, the girls will also go to Dongfu to study."
Xi Ren felt that he was a little sad and tried his best to change the subject, "The old lady has already agreed. Even my aunt said that my cousin will go to study for a few days off."
"... Then, did they mention me? Can I study in Dongfu? ”
Baoyu asked urgently.
He heard from his wife that he might be transferred to a school.
But in the school, we have to eat the extremely unpalatable and insatiable Yikusisweet rice every seven days.
Baoyu was very curious about the school and secretly asked his elder brother.
The eldest brother said that I can go to school to study.
You can make friends there and learn a lot of things that you can't learn at home.
But his wife also said that he must not go to school to study. So far, there are no famous people in Jia's school.
The eldest brother also studied with his husband at home first.
He is going to school, and the old lady really doesn't like him.
He has to stay at home.
"No..., I haven't heard of it."
Xi Ren shook his head.
Baoyu's complexion slowly darkened.
He slowly walked towards the lively courtyard.
Grandma’s hearty laughter, so happy.
This laughter used to happen only when he was around.
“Old lady, Second Master Bao has finished school.”
The little maid’s voice came from inside.
Baoyu's mood lifted slightly, and when he went to the courtyard, he happened to hear Jia Mu calling him with a smile, "Hurry, Baoyu, come see your aunt and cousins."
< br>"Ancestor!"
Baoyu first bowed to the old lady, and then looked at the pretty woman who had been talked about by her grandmother for many years. When she looked over with a smile, she only felt kind, "Baoyu has met my aunt!"
He He bowed to Jia Min seriously.
“Get up!”
Jia Min waved to her little nephew.
Although the second sister-in-law doesn't get along well with her, the nephew is close to her.
My mother loves me so much.
From the letters home, she guessed that her nephew, who liked to join the crowd of girls, was spoiled too much by his mother and second sister-in-law, and he might not be good in the future. However, she did not expect that this child would grow up with her. Must be slightly similar.
"Daiyu, Chang'an, please meet your second cousin from your second uncle's family soon!"
"Cousin!"
"Cousin~"
The three children saluted each other.
When Daiyu and Baoyu saw each other, they both felt that they were very kind to each other.
Baoyu felt much better and said with a smile: "I have seen this sister before."
"But it's nonsense again."
The old lady smiled and said: "You are in the capital and she is in Yangzhou. How have you ever seen her before?"
"Although I have never seen her before, I look at you kindly, and in my heart I am an old acquaintance. Today is just a reunion after a long separation, and I have not done anything for her. No.”
“Does my cousin think I’m kind?”
Lin Changan stood in front of his sister and asked the little cousin in a clear voice.
“You are also kind-hearted!”
Baoyu rarely plays with his peers. Although Lin Changan looks much younger than him, he likes it very much when he stands in front of him like this.
"Definitely!"
Lin Changan shouted: "You look like my mother, and my sister and I also look a bit like my mother."
"Haha, that's not it."
Jia Min smiled and hugged her son and daughter, "My nephew looks like my uncle. My second brother and I are a bit alike. Baoyu is similar to my second brother when he was a child. Aren't we just kind to each other?"
Is that so?
Lin Daiyu glanced at Baoyu, pursed her lips and smiled.
"Well, you all look like the Duke of the country."
Jia Mu's eyes were warm, "Baoyu looks more like you than him!"
The eldest son looks like the old man. Father-in-law.
"Tomorrow, my daughter will take her two children to the ancestral hall to offer incense to her father and tell him that her daughter is back."
"Okay, okay!"
Mother Jia hugged her grandson, "Tomorrow we will go eat your sister-in-law's food together."
Grandma was talking to her mother, and Lin Changan ran away. Going to Baoyu, "Second cousin, you haven't come back until now. Are you studying?"
"Yes!"
"Then where did you study?" "University!"
"Wow, that's amazing. My sister also went to college."
When Baoyu looked at Daiyu, the little girl was also looking at him, "Then Sister, come and study with me tomorrow!"
"I want to study with my second sister and third sister."
Xiao Daiyu refused, "But you can study with Chang'an. .”
"Chang'an, where did you read?"
Does such a young brother know all the words?
But thinking about how he roughly recognized all the characters with his elder sister when he was three years old, Baoyu changed it to "Where did you read it?"
"My sister has gone to college, and I have also gone to college."
Lin Changan puffed up his chest, "There are some words that I can't write yet. But I know them all."
“Ha~”
When Jia Min heard his youngest son bragging, he couldn’t help but nodded on his head, “After all, you want to praise yourself for going to college, right? ?”
Just then, Jia Mu thought that her grandson couldn’t hold back what she had just praised Baoyu for, and she burst out laughing.
When Mrs. Wang came from Lixiangyuan to serve dinner, she heard laughter inside from a distance and blew a few deep breaths through her nose.
……
Biyun Temple!
Today is Princess Baofeng’s birthday.
Although she has passed away for three years, the pain in Cheng Luo's heart has always been there.
So as soon as the Cheng family mentioned that Biyun Temple would perform rituals for her for three days, he immediately agreed.
What he didn't expect was that the clan also went to Jia's house to invite his fiancée Yuan Chun.
Cheng Luo's heart was filled with anticipation and anxiety.
His troublemaking grandmother is here too.
However, that expectation and anxiety all turned into joy after seeing Yuanchun and the maid and mother-in-law serving beside her.
As expected of a family of military commanders.
If any of those six women come out, they can fight one against three, right?
Cheng Luo was shocked and happy, but the rest of the Cheng family... were only shocked and talking.
Sure enough, from yesterday to now, neither his grandmother nor the mother-in-law beside her dared to behave like a monster.
One day, once his mother's funeral is over, he can take another step forward in getting married to her and marry Najib.
Cheng Luo is looking forward to it.
"Master Hou!"
Fu'an beside him hurriedly came from outside, "There is a letter from Beijing, something happened to the Jia family."
What?
"What's going on?"
He grabbed the letter and read it hurriedly.
Cheng Luo didn't see the two old men next to him looking at each other.
"Brother Luo, what happened to the Jia family?"
Clan leader Cheng Zhi asked directly, stroking his beard.
"...Uncle, read it yourself!"
After reading the letter, Cheng Luo became more determined, and he handed it directly to the old man's hand.
Cheng Zhi read it three lines at a time.
He handed the letter to the clan members smoothly, "Please tell the inside about this!"
The Jia family... is indeed the same Jia family.
Captured Li Haifeng and a Japanese pirate alive, and brought thirty corpses back to Beijing... Are you trying to scare someone?
Anyway, he didn’t know whether others were shocked, but he was a little scared.
Cheng Zhi believed that the old sister-in-law inside would be scared if she knew about it.
Hiss~
For a moment, the old man didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Princess Baofeng died so tragically in the Cheng family. It turned out how scared he was!
But I didn’t expect that the old sister-in-law was so capable that the royal family couldn’t pursue her.
Originally, she acted like a monster and prevented Cheng Luo from finding a good match, which he was a little bit happy to hear.
After all, Princess Baofeng has been tricked by her. It will be even harder for the children of the Cheng family to leave if any high-ranking family comes.
He couldn't restrain the old lady according to the clan rules. The clan's good life in recent years was thanks to the generosity of Marquis Xinping and the old sister-in-law.
But now...
"Of course!"
Cheng Luo looked at these old guys calmly, "Fu'an, send the letter in immediately and give it to grandma and Six old ladies, let’s take a look.”
The Jia family is not something they can mess with.
A letter that looked inconspicuous was first passed through the hands of the men of the Cheng family, then went inside and was passed around by the female family members.
Although there are some people who don’t know the words, it is even more terrifying when someone who knows them reads it out.
How many trucks of corpses are there? The Jia family...how dare you?
The old lady of the Cheng family couldn't help but take another look at Yuanchun.
“Amitabha!” The old lady was very dissatisfied with the so-called granddaughter-in-law who was so calm and yet so appropriate that she couldn’t make mistakes. “This is a temple, big girl, do you feel that , your family's killing...is too heavy?"
"..."
Yuan Chun glanced at the old lady, "Old lady, you have also been in Jiangnan. Knowing how hateful the Japanese pirates are! How can this be called excessive killing? This is the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and Princess Baofeng is in heaven. I would like to drink three more glasses of wine with joy after hearing about this happy event in my family.”
As she said that, Baoqin, who was connected to her soul, had already brought up a pot of plain wine.
Yuan Chun first added incense to her future mother-in-law’s spiritual tablet, and then offered her wine.
She believed that Princess Baofeng had a spirit, and she must be happy that her daughter-in-law's natal family was powerful.
"Come here, tell the host that I will donate another three hundred kilograms of sesame oil to the princess's everlasting lamp, so that the princess can rejoice with me."
"Yes!"
< br>The little maid went down to report the good news to the host. No other female family member of the Cheng family in the hall dared to look at Mrs. Cheng's face.
Why does this eldest girl from the Jia family feel more majestic than Princess Baofeng?
Princess Baofeng had always been gentle and generous in front of them.
But the Jia family...
Thinking of the two families of the Jia family as one family, because a married girl from the clan came to the Chen family with a group of powerful slaves to cause trouble, their hearts He couldn't help but sink.
Although the Chen family is not their Cheng, the pronunciation is the same.
Although Princess Baofeng is noble, it is only in terms of status and has nothing to do with the military.
But the Jia family is different.
The Cheng family is because Cheng Luo's father made a fortune in the army. The children who are ambitious but unable to study are either in the army or in various yamen.
The Jia family seems to have some connections on both sides...
"The eldest girl said it well. We should really let the princess be happy with us. In this way, the clan will donate another three hundred kilograms of sesame oil for the princess's everlasting lamp."
Since we can't offend, If you can’t afford it, just make friends!
The patriarch’s wife, the sixth old lady made the final decision.
“That’s right, that’s right!”
“Those Japanese pirates deserve to die!”
“It’s time to announce the good news.”
Ladies and grandmothers, They understood the meaning of the six old ladies very well. They no longer cared about the old lady of the Xinping Houfu who had once complimented her, and began to flatter her.
As the saying goes, those who know practical things are heroes.
There is nothing they can do.
Who told Cheng Luo, a daughter-in-law, to be so powerful?
Not only is she great, her natal family is also great.
This time, Jia Yuanchun was asked to kneel down to Princess Baofeng. It was originally the old lady of the Cheng family who wanted to intimidate her.
After all, although she and Cheng Luo were granted marriage, they were still some way off from getting married.
Unexpectedly, they came, and six strong women followed them.
It seems to be telling them, if you want to fight, then come!
Although they didn't say it out loud, they could clearly feel from some of her words and deeds that Jia Yuanchun wanted Mrs. Cheng to make trouble with her.
For two days, the old lady didn't make trouble with her, and they didn't find any fault with her. However, the woman next to the old lady was found an excuse and punished with cleaning work.
Even the windows were forced to be wiped clean three times.
That’s clean, oh~
