The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Rongqingtang, when Jia Baoyu rushed over excitedly, he found that the style of the house today is really different from the past.

Not only are there more maidservants and servants standing around than in the past, but all of them hold their breath and concentrate on their duties, which is a big change from the laziness and casualness of the past.

Jia Baoyu then slowed down his pace and entered the hall only after reporting.

As expected, the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall was peaceful. A middle-aged woman with a graceful temperament and gorgeous clothes was sitting at the foot of the hall. Behind her stood seven or eight servants, five or six servant girls. And the style is even more gorgeous than the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Baoyu glanced at the young and beautiful maids, and then upholding the etiquette of the young masters, he went up to greet Jiamu and the others one by one.

Jia's mother was very satisfied with Jia Baoyu's performance, she laughed and said, "Baoyu, why don't you go up to see Mrs. Zhen's family."

"Baoyu, see Madam."

Because Jia Baoyu didn't see Miss Zhen's family who was said to be very similar to Daiyu's birth, she felt very disappointed.But then he raised his head inexplicably, because following his ceremony, the elegant and seemingly very dignified Mrs. Zhen's family in front of him didn't respond at all, but just looked at him with wide eyes.

In this way, let alone Jia Baoyu, even Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, etc. were all surprised.

It was a maid of the Zhen family who saw her wife being impolite and coughed twice before reminding her.

Mrs. Zhen's family and Jia Mu and the others looked at each other, the surprise in her eyes still couldn't be concealed, she stood up and walked to Jia Baoyu in disregard of family etiquette, looked Jia Baoyu up and down, and then apologized to Jia Mu Said: "Madam Tai, please don't be surprised. There is such a coincidence in the world. The little girl was just a little girl before. Unexpectedly, the second son of your family is so similar to my worthless boy!"

"Oh, there really is such a coincidence?"

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard this, they felt very strange.Through the previous chats, they all knew that Mrs. Zhen's family was a dignified and self-reliant person, so she wouldn't pretend to be like this to draw the relationship between the two families closer. Looking at her demeanor just now, could it be that there is such a coincidence in the world?
When they saw the Fourth Miss of the Zhen family just now, they were also taken aback.

Jia Baoyu didn't care too much about his resemblance to He Shengsheng, he only heard the words "the former little girl" from the words of Mrs. Zhen's family just now, and his mind suddenly became active.Could it be that the lady is really here?
The servants of the Zhen family were afraid that Jia's family would not believe their wives' words, so they echoed each other, saying that Jia Baoyu was so similar to their Jiabao second master, and they were all called "Baoyu", which made Jiamu and others amazed.

While laughing and talking, I heard the sound of warblers and swallows on the back porch, and then a few maids cleared the way, and a group of golden boudoir and jade girls walked in.

It is the sisters such as Sanchun and Daiyu.

Subconsciously, Jia Baoyu wanted to go up to him, but he just raised his leg a step before his body stopped suddenly. Mu looked at the front in a daze, and murmured: "My God, why are there two sisters Lin?"

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 immediately the two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile on the two pretty faces like lotus.

Looking at each other is like looking in a mirror, and they all feel amazing.

Following the beckoning of Mother Jia and Mrs. Zhen's family, Daiyu separated and snuggled into the arms of their elders.

Mother Jia put her arms around Daiyu's frail body, and seeing Jia Baoyu staring at her girl with bulging eyes, she smiled and said, "Baoyu, this is the righteous sister that your second brother Lian recognized in Nanjing, that is, you." My sister, I haven't seen her before."

"Uh, it's... Baoyu, I've seen this younger sister..."

Jia Baoyu's eyes were never willing to leave the girl in front of him, who was almost identical to Daiyu's.He felt that God must treat him well, otherwise, how would he send this girl in front of him?

At this moment, the girl in red, the second girl, etc. are all out of his eyes. In his eyes, there is only this delicate, graceful and affectionate clean daughter in front of him.

Maybe it's because of the successive coincidences today, or maybe it's because Jia Baoyu and his precious son are too similar, love the house and black, so Mrs. Zhen's family didn't feel rude because of Jia Baoyu's "idiot", but pulled her in her arms. daughter, motioned for her to stand up and return the salute.

Therefore, Zhen Yuhuan, who seldom saw outside men and was a little shy, got up slowly, and after a brief meeting with Jia Baoyu, she found that Jia Baoyu's gaze became more intense, and she couldn't help hiding behind her mother.

"Baoyu..."

Seeing that her son was acting stupid again, Mrs. Wang wanted to chase after Mrs. Zhen's family, so she couldn't help calling out with a smile before waking Jia Baoyu up.Facing Mrs. Wang's beckoning gaze, Jia Baoyu walked back slowly, but the appearance of taking three steps and one glance made the Sanchun sisters laugh.

Only when Jia Mu saw it, she had another thought in her heart.

She is easy-going by nature and used to enjoying wealth, so she is a little more pure than Mrs. Wang's love for Jia Baoyu.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's appearance like this, how could she not know that Jia Baoyu had reached the age to be sensible and started admiring Shaoai.

If Daiyu was like this before, so is Miss Zhen's Fourth Miss in front of her.Because of Daiyu's matter, Jia Mu, who felt a little sorry for her precious grandson, couldn't help but glance at Zhen Yuhuan again, and nodded secretly.

Continuing to chat a few words, Mrs. Zhen's family looked around for a while, and said: "It's getting late, old lady, it's time for this junior to say goodbye."

Mother Jia hurriedly said, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't you want Yuhuan to meet her righteous brother..."

As she said that, Mother Jia thought that Mrs. Zhen's family had been angry and waited too long, so she asked around: "Didn't it mean that Lian'er has already returned to the house, why hasn't she come?"

The servants said: "I originally came here, but was called away by the master's people in a hurry."

"Uh, what's the matter with their master, do you have to look for him at this time?"

Mother Jia was a little displeased.It's all right for Jia Liansu to go her own way, but Jia Zheng is a filial man, and today he dared to intercept the person she summoned. Could it be that he also followed Lian'er's example and ignored her.

So while keeping Mrs. Zhen's family steady, she ordered someone to urge her.

At that moment, Lin Zhixiao's family came back and said with a smile: "Old lady, happy event, great happy event."

"What happy event?"

"Our second master has been promoted again!!"

The Rongqing hall was all silent.Mrs. Zhen's eyes rolled, she had already thought about how to refuse Jia's mother to keep her, and immediately sat back on the half of her buttocks that had been removed.

……

When Jia Lian came back to Rongqing Hall from Meng Pozhai, she found that the maids on the corridor looked at her with reverence and worship.

In this regard, Jia Lian quickly realized that it was the news of his promotion that spread.

Speaking of which, Jia Zheng's news is quite well-informed.

Entering the Rongqing hall and meeting with Jia Mu, Mrs. Zhen's family 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 system of imperial guards, and he wants to promote me to the post of commander."

Jia Lian didn't want to talk about firearms in detail with Jia Mu and other women and children. As for going to Tianjin to build warships, he didn't plan to talk about it yet.

"Actually transferred to the Forbidden Army, or the commander?"

Even though what Jia Lian said was very simple, it still surprised Jia's mother and others.The imperial army, they are soldiers and horses that defend the imperial city and protect the emperor. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are the most beautiful and noble army in the world.

"It's not that I was transferred to the Forbidden Army, but His Majesty asked me to build a new army under the jurisdiction of the Forbidden Army. In terms of Pin Yi, it's just from three, which is considered a level up from my previous one."

After emphatically explaining a sentence again, Jia Lian stopped talking and turned to look at Zhen Yuhuan.

Even though he had met her a long time ago and was mentally prepared, Jia Lian was still heartbroken when he saw his adopted sister again.

There is no way, she and Daiyu are really, too much alike.

In the past, people in Jia's house said that the longer Xiangling looked like Qin Keqing, even Jia Lian himself asked Xiangling to wear Qin Keqing's clothes for comparison... Don't say it, it really looks like it!
However, Jia Lian could easily tell the difference even if it was Xiang Ling wearing Qin Keqing's clothes.

This is Zhen Yuhuan...

Not to mention wearing the same clothes as Daiyu, but wearing different clothes and appearing in a different place, Jia Lian felt that he might admit his mistake.

It's more like twins than twins!
"Sister Yi, long time no see."

"Yu Huan, meet my sworn brother~"

Facing Jia Lian, Zhen Yuhuan looked much more natural, her eyes were as dexterous as Daiyu's, and she looked at Jia Lian with flickering eyes, as if she was curious: Brother Yi, you are so young, how can you be so powerful as an official?

Seeing her cute look, Jia Lian was about to say something to tease her, when suddenly she felt a sharp gaze in the distance, Jia Lian turned her head 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 family followed Jia Mu and others, and asked Jia Lian about official affairs, which seemed to be more concerned about Jia Lian's future than Jia Mu, the old ancestor.

Jia Lian smiled inwardly, and after a few perfunctory sentences, he asked, "It has been more than half a year since I bid farewell to my wife in Jinling last time. I don't know why my wife came to Beijing with her righteous sister?"

"Well, this... The main reason is that your sister is weak and has been ill all year round. We have invited many famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River, but they have not worked. That's why I thought of taking her to the capital to have a look. By the way, I will also visit the doctor in Beijing. Make family and friends."

"So that's how it is. It just so happens that I really know a few famous doctors in the capital, and I'll invite them here later to have a diagnosis and treatment with my sister-in-law."

"Why bother."

Jia Mu suddenly interjected and said with a smile: "I also often take medicine, and I know all the eminent imperial physicians in the palace. I think the illnesses on Yuhuan's girl are probably the same as my Yuer's.

The Imperial Physician Wang in the palace is very good at treating weak children.How about this, why don't you just stay here with us, and I'll invite him over tomorrow and let the two girls have a look together. "

"This, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, it's too troublesome."

"What's the trouble? We happen to have a lot of girls in our family, and I think Yuhuan girls get along well with them. Letting them play together as companions may not be good for the body's recovery.

That `s a deal.From the very first sight, I liked Yuhuan, a girl, so don't talk about treating her, even if there is no such thing, I also want to keep her by my side and talk to my old man. "

Everyone in Jia's family didn't find it strange what Jia's mother said.We all know that she likes to be lively. As long as she likes the children of relatives, as long as she likes it, she usually likes to stay as a guest.

Mrs. Zhen's family was a little embarrassed to see Jia's mother being so polite and enthusiastic, so she couldn't help but look at her daughter.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuhuan was immediately moved.Before entering the Rongguo Mansion, she never thought that the Jia family would have so many sisters who were the same age as her!

Moreover, the sisters of the Jia family are all intelligent, dignified and respectful, which is better than those of their own family.In particular, there is also a little sister who is exactly the same as their own. Just now they took her to play in their homeland.

She is just a girl in the cardamom age, she is naturally playful, and this time she is the only one who came to Beijing with her mother, if she can stay at Jia's house and play with these sisters, it will be much more interesting than going back to other courtyards.

Mrs. Zhen understood her daughter's thoughts, smiled, stood up and said: "Since the old lady has said so, the younger generation dare not refuse. It's just that our family lives in the south. When we come to Beijing this time, we really should go to make relatives and friends." Pay a visit to the house.

Therefore, forget it for the younger generation, let the girl Yu Huan stay with the old lady and accompany the old lady on behalf of the younger generation.It's just that the little girl is naughty, please take care of the old lady and all the ladies. "

After much tugging and tugging by Mother Jia and the others, they finally let Mrs. Zhen's family have dinner at the Rongqing Hall before leaving.

And Zhen Yuhuan, of course, stayed, which made Jia Baoyu laugh and laugh the whole night, changing from the decadent past.

"Girl, you sisters and sisters all live in the back garden, and they must have brought you in to have a look before.

Think for yourself, which one of them would you like to live with.If you don't want to, you can stay with me, and you can be an old man with me. "

After finishing tea, Mother Jia looked at the grandchildren in the room and said to Zhen Yuhuan with a smile.

When Zhen Yuhuan heard the words, she immediately looked at Daiyu.

Jia Baoyu became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, let her live with Sister Bao. Sister Bao is careful and can take care of others. It must be the most appropriate for her to live with Sister Bao in Hengwuyuan."

As soon as Jia Baoyu said what he said, almost everyone understood his little plan.

After what happened before, he can no longer enter the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.If Zhen Yuhuan lived with Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Mansion, it would be inconvenient for him to visit it, so it is reasonable and reasonable to suggest that Zhen Yuhuan and Baochai live together in Hengwu Court.

However, his words offended Daiyu again.

What do you mean by "Sister Bao is careful and takes care of others?" Could it be that she is careless and will bully others?

Baochai didn't want to wear this hat either, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Sister Yuhuan is weak, Hengwuyuan is a little farther away, and the terrain is also high, let her live with Sister Lin. Then the old lady will ask the doctor for them , and more convenient."

Zhen Yuhuan didn't know what the mystery was. She 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.
