Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Next, Ning Jun unexpectedly did not embarrass Jia Zhen and the others. He just said a few words and ordered to drink. Then, the sound of silk and bamboo around was pleasant, and the frost on his wrists filled his eyes, mixed with the moans and smiles of women. There was a happy and peaceful atmosphere everywhere.

　　Jia Zhen and the others drank a few glasses of wine before they came out.He bumped into Qiu Luan head-on.

　　Qiu Luan stood aside expressionlessly, his eyes filled with hatred.Today, instead of making Jia Zhen embarrassed, he made himself humiliated in front of Qinyang County King.This person's usual villainy behavior is narrow-minded.Jia Zhen originally planned to go up to chat a few words, but looking at his face, he knew that this Liangzi was settled, so he didn't touch the bad head, just handed over and returned to Feng Ziying's house.

　　Jia Zhen always felt that Qinyang County King had some conspiracy and tricks, and it was impossible to let them go lightly.

　　"Brothers, we beat Qiu Luan in front of the Duke of Qinyang, but he didn't seem to care at all? Could it be in here?"

　　Feng Ziying was stunned for a while, then sighed: "According to my younger brother, the Duke of Qinyang County is afraid that he really doesn't care."

　　"How do you say this?" Jia Zhen, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan, and Liu Xianglian all asked.

　　"You also know the identity of the King of Qinyang County. That is the grandson of the emperor. In front of him, what is Qiu Luan? I'm afraid that he is not qualified to be a dog's leg! People can't make it out for him. As for us? Brother Zhen still has a third-rank. General Weilie's career, like me, Brother Chen, and Brother Wei, are seen by others as the son of the king's grandson, and look down on him, that is, a white body."

　　Jia Zhen couldn't help remembering that Jia's mother always mentioned "we are middle-class people", and she didn't think so before. After all, we are a veteran, and our students and officials are all over the world.But today it seems that she has positioned Jia's residence very accurately. There are neither high-ranking officials, nor huge amounts of gold and silver in the family. Compared with those small families, there is only one more good ancestor, and that's it.

　　So, Jia Zhen also sighed, "It seems that we think too much, and others want to deal with it, I am afraid that only King Beijing has to do it, what are we?"

　　Liu Xianglian frowned, "You guys are so cool, even if he wants to deal with you, soldiers will come to block you, water will come to cover you, what's there to be afraid of? Do you think your own status is low and people look down on you, so you sigh one by one? I, Liu Xianglian, misunderstood you!"

　　After speaking, he raised his head to drink a glass of wine, and said, "Farewell!"

　　Jia Zhen quickly pulled him back, "Liu Erlang, stay here! You're right, what are we doing with so much business? Let him be high, we drink our wine and earn our money, that's enough!"

　　"Brother Jane said it very well!"

　　Everyone is now pushing the cup for a change, which is very pleasant!

　　Jia Zhen handed over the deed of redemption to Die'er, "From now on, you will be my Jia Zhen's concubine. In the future, when you are at home, you can be called Keren!"

　　Jia Rong was drunk, she picked up the cup and swayed her respectfully: "Qin Yiniang, respect you!"

　　Ke Ren's face was so hot that he threw himself into Jia Zhen's arms ashamed.

　　Jia Zhen glared at Jia Rong fiercely: "You bastard, go home and see how I deal with you!"

　　The bluff made Jia Rong sober up instantly, and quickly apologized with a sad face: "Father!"

　　Jia Zhen was about to teach him a lesson, when Feng Ziying and the others persuaded them, "Brother Rong is also kind!"

　　Jia Zhen had no choice but to give up and have a feast with everyone.

　　Ke Ren carefully held Wen Qi in his hands, the tears in his eyes were like beads with broken strings, Jia Zhen grabbed Ke Ren's slim waist, and it took Ke Ren a long time to wake up and say, "Master!"

　　Jia Zhen reached out and wiped the tears from her face, "Okay, thank you for my words, let's go home!"

　　Feng Ziying on the side smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, if you want to be gentle with me, don't face us, are you jealous of us?"

　　Hearing this, Chen Yejun put his arms around Liu Er and kissed, "Let's make them jealous too!" So Wei Ruolan and Liu Xianglian also attacked Qiner and Meier, which made the girls laugh.

　　As for Jia Rong, she's actually well behaved, and I don't know if it's because of his father Jia Zhen's presence, or something else?

Chapter [-] Xichun's Speech on the East House

　　On this day, Xichun led the little maid into the painting and came to the West Mansion early.

　　Originally, Xichun had two big maids and two maids to look after her, and she sent them back once they arrived at the Rong Mansion.

　　As soon as Xichun stepped through the door, Ruyan entered the forest and went straight to the yard of the old ancestor to the west.Along the way, he shouted in a clear voice: "Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor!"

　　In the middle of the room, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were accompanying her to talk to relieve her boredom. When she talked about her daughter who had gone to the south, she couldn't help but feel sad and sad. She also remembered that Jia Lian was assigned to pick up her granddaughter Lin Daiyu back to Beijing. .I faintly heard someone shouting, so I asked, "Who is calling? Feng girl, go and see, maybe someone has come back from the south!"

　　Sister Feng smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, if you don't look at me, you will know who is here!"

　　Mother Jia said oddly, "You tell me who's here? Except for you who are used to shouting, other people in the family don't do this!"

　　Sister Feng couldn't help but ask Qu: "Old Ancestor, do you think I'm just like this? I'm going to learn from the elder sister-in-law of Zhuo tomorrow, and I won't say a word in front of you!"

　　Mother Jia laughed and scolded: "Tear your mouth to pieces! You Zhu's elder sister-in-law is a small family, but an honest person who brought a little one with you. It's not easy. You still arrange her like this, and I'm the first to disagree. "

　　Sister Feng stepped forward to grab Jia's mother's hand and said bitterly: "Old Ancestor, you can't be so partial, I am also your grandson's daughter-in-law! You see, I have to be the housekeeper and talk to the old Ancestor to relieve boredom. People are not happy. If you do, you will be scolded."

　　Madam Wang feigned angrily and rebuked: "Feng girl, in front of the ancestors, there is no big or small!"

　　Mother Jia didn't take it seriously, and laughed again and again: "Okay, okay, okay, it's not easy for you! It's really not easy to have to be a housekeeper and nagging this old lady like me!"

　　Sister Feng took it away when she saw it, and gave a brisk salute, "Old Ancestor, you have what you have in mind!"

　　Mother Jia heard someone shouting again, and the voice was getting closer.

　　Sister Feng said with a smile: "The ancestor just said that I was the only one in the family with a loud voice. You don't know, there is another one in our family!"

　　Madam Wang listened carefully, "It seems to be Xichun from the East Mansion?"

　　At this time, Yuanyang lifted the curtain from the outside and came in, and said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, the Fourth Young Lady from the East Mansion is here, calling you from a distance!"

　　Mother Jia heard it clearly and said with a smile, "It's really her. It must be Feng girl, who taught a good girl badly!"

　　Sister Feng called Qu Dao: "Old Ancestor, you really blame me wrong, you don't know, the current Xichun is not the demure Pingting she used to be, and now she is the king and hegemon in the East Mansion, I'm afraid she is a little more majestic than me. ."

　　Mother Jia laughed when she heard it: "Jing nonsense! If it's as you said, can Brother Zhen ignore it?"

　　Sister Feng said: "Big brother spoils her. Once, the girls saw Xichun riding on top of big brother, making him a horse! Big brother is not annoyed, it's up to her!"

　　Mother Jia was displeased when she heard the words, "There is no one to control him in the East Mansion, and it's getting more and more nonsense!"

　　Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng did not speak any more.

　　"Old Ancestor!" Xichun came in from the outside and greeted Ann, "Old Ancestor, second wife, second sister-in-law, Yuanyang sister!"

　　Mother Jia waved at Xichun and said, "Come here, let me see!"

　　Xichun sat down next to Jia's mother, "Ancestor, Xichun misses you!"

　　Mother Jia grabbed Xichun's hand, saw beads of sweat on her forehead, and hurriedly asked Yuanyang to take a handkerchief to wipe her off, "Children's family, don't run around randomly, and people will carry them in a sedan chair when they are far away. If you fall and get hurt, that's great!"

　　Xichun said: "Old Ancestor, don't worry! I won't fall. At home, I still play football!"

　　Sister Feng asked, "Play football?"

　　Xichun nodded, "Yeah, my brother said it was called Cuju, and it has been around for a long time." Speaking of Cuju, Xichun suddenly became elated: "Old ancestor, my brother opened a court in Huifang Garden, with a goal on one side and two teams of players. , five on each side. You have to kick the ball into the opponent's goal to win."

　　Sister Feng asked again: "You guys can't kick the kiddos together, right?"

　　Xichun shook his head and said, "How is that possible? At the beginning, my brother only brought Timur, Wuhuai, Jia Qing, Li Wan and the others to play, and didn't let me play. I was so angry that I dragged a few girls to play football by myself. , much more fun than kicking the shuttlecock!"

　　When Mother Jia heard this, she seemed to be lost in thought, and Xichun called out several times before she could react.

　　"Ancestor, what do you think?"

　　Mother Jia said with a smile: "Speaking of this Cuju, I remember it. His grandfather played it when he was young. The backyard in the east was originally a stadium, but it was later built."

　　Xichun said in surprise: "Really? I heard from Uncle Jiao that this was very popular in the army back then."

　　But Mother Jia didn't want to talk about this anymore, but asked Xichun: "What does your brother do at home?"

　　Xichun tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother doesn't do anything."

　　Sister Feng smiled and said: "I often hear your sister-in-law and brother Rong's daughter-in-law complaining that they are busy all day, and the envoy's servants are in circles, and one day's rest will burn high incense."

　　Xichun blinked, "Yes, my sister-in-law, brother Rong's daughter-in-law, and brother's two aunts have things to do, but my brother doesn't have anything to do.

　　Jia Zhen took another concubine a few days ago, and they all knew about it.It's just that this concubine was born in a brothel, which made Mother Jia and Madam Wang quite critical.

　　Madam Wang asked, "There are only a few people in your house, how many things are there?"

　　Xichun said: "Back to the second wife, there is a soap factory at home, um, that's what my brother said. Sister-in-law and housekeeper, you have to keep an eye on the factory, and don't let them be lazy, so as not to delay Qi Guogong, Zhiguogong and restoration of the country. The goods of the government. Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is responsible for accounting, and sister-in-law Yindie is responsible for the research and development of soap. My brother said that she has the final say in soap matters. The new sister-in-law is in charge of the Feng family, the general of Shenwu. , the Chen family, and the Wei family's business dealings." Xichun nodded, "Brother has even prepared things for the two little sisters-in-law who haven't been there yet."

　　Mother Jia had great opinions on Jia Zhen's arrangement of his concubine to manage the family's "business". Past experience told her that this would be inappropriate, but she didn't say anything.

　　Sister Feng secretly remembered it in her heart, and said with a smile: "Your brother didn't arrange for you to do anything?"

　　Xichun thought for a while and said: "Originally he asked me to be a censor and said that he could manage everything, but he lied to me, I can't control anything! Now I can only manage myself, cultivate my self-cultivation, read, write, and draw. already."

　　Mother Jia agreed: "Your brother is used to being a jerk. That's how a girl's family should be."

　　Just as he was talking about this, a few more people came to Yingying Yanyan in the yard.

　　Li Wan brought sisters Yingchun and Tanchun, Ping'er, Xiren, and Jin Chuan'er, several big maids, came in together, and saluted each other.

　　Li Wan said with a smile to Xichun, "I heard you call the ancestor, Amitabha, from a long distance away. It's enough to have one phoenix girl in our family. Now we have four girls, and we haven't lifted all the tiles on the roof!"

　　The girls all laughed.

　　Only Sister Feng shouted: "Old Ancestor, you just said that the eldest sister-in-law is an honest person! Now I'm burying me like this!" After that, she was going to tear Li Wan's mouth.

　　Mother Jia hurriedly laughed and asked someone to stop her, "Hurry up and pull that shabby house!" After pulling for a long time, Sister Feng herself laughed.

　　At this time, Xichun took out a small bag from her clothes. It was bulging. She threw it all over the table. There were more than a dozen gold coins, big and small, all of the latest style, "Sister Feng, my sister-in-law. Tell me, she heard from you earlier that she wanted to give the girls a ring, so she asked me to bring some thongs over, which is somewhat of a wish."

　　Sister Feng accepted it with a smile, "It was my ancestor who ordered me to prepare new head and face jewelry for a few girls who hadn't come yet, and I was just short of a few necklaces. That's all I said, Mrs. Zhen. Sister-in-law is serious!"

　　Li Wan said, "As long as you can cheat and cheat, you said so, how could Sister Zhen disagree?"

　　Just as Sister Feng was about to refute, she saw Yuanyang stretch out her hand in front of Xichun, "Bring it here!"

　　Xichun said with a smile, "Sister Yuanyang and Sister Feng have all taken away, and I don't have any more!"

　　Yuanyang said: "Your second grandmother Lian is a famous gluttonous eater, and you can't get in. How can you get the things in her hands? We are girls, and we can't fight with the master, right? We can only ask Fourth Miss will reward us a few more."

　　Xichun had no choice but to pull out a small bag from her clothes, which still contained some silver coins, "This is what my brother made me change, and I gave it to my sisters."

　　Yuanyang took it and distributed it to Pinger, Jinchuaner, and Xiren.

　　Xiren said: "Fourth Miss, you gave us all the change, what should you do?"

　　Xichun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll just go through my brother's purse then. If it doesn't work, I'll go to Rong's daughter-in-law's place to make some arrangements."

　　Sister Feng said with a smile: "Listen, where is this young lady from a big family? What a robber!"

　　The crowd laughed again.

　　Sister Feng said: "Old Ancestor, look at the elder brother, who loves Chun. She has more money than the elder sister-in-law. Should we deduct her monthly allowance to subsidize us?"

　　But Mother Jia disagreed, "You're stingy, the fourth girl's monthly bill is only a few taels of silver a year. If you don't want to pay, I'll pay!"

　　Sister Feng clapped her hands together and said with a smile: "Old Ancestor is wise!" Then she smiled at Yuanyang: "You heard it too, in the future, Xichun's monthly routine will be gone from the Old Ancestor!"

　　Mother Jia pointed at Sister Feng and scolded with a smile: "Okay, so you are thinking about my money on purpose!"

　　Madam Wang also scolded: "How many taels of silver are we missing?"

　　Sister Feng said: "You don't know, there are fewer people in the elder brother's house now, and a lot of income has been added, which is much better than ours. I wish that all our monthly reports would be issued by the elder brother!"

　　Mother Jia said with a smile: "Hurry up and shut your mouth! His house is just a little better, so you're thinking about it?"
