The Red Mansions

Chapter 68 Moving to a New Home
It gets dark early in winter, and Jia Yun's house is as lively as a festival tonight.

No, his house has never been so lively during festivals before.

In the living room, the wine and dishes were fragrant, the laughter continued, the cups and plates were messed up.

At the banquet, Xue Pan drank the most, yelled loudly and swears a lot, but he was like Jia Qin, Jia Qiang and others, and it was a great joy to call him brothers.

Although Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu also drank a lot, they were still concerned about their face. Although they were a little loose, they did not lose their dignity.

Jia Yun and Jia Rong sat side by side, talking in low voices.

Jia Rong's cheeks were flushed, her eyes blurred, she put her arms around Jia Yun's shoulders, and said with a smile:
"Today's drink can be regarded as a comfortable meal. No one is restraining you. You don't have to be taboo about what you say. Everyone can talk freely. It's so comfortable to drink and eat meat!"

Although Jia Yun drank a lot, he was only slightly tipsy. He looked at Jia Rong and smiled, and said, "After Shu Tan, I will bring more good ingredients over here, and let's make it a few more times."

"Okay! That's great! Let's do it a few more times when the New Year's goods on Zhuangzi arrive!" Jia Rong shook her head and said, then turned to Jia Baoyu beside her and said:

"Uncle Bao, you are really lucky to catch up today, how is it, after having a drink, are you in a better mood?"

Jia Baoyu was also drunk, lying on the table and staring back in a daze: "What's better? I've always been in a good mood. Besides, I'm even happier because I ate the food cooked by Brother Yun again today! "

As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and took another sip.

Qingwen, who stood behind him and waited on him, hurriedly said: "Second Master, you drank a lot today, so you can't drink any more, or you can go back later and let the old lady and grandma know, there will definitely be slaves Eat the fruit!"

Xue Pan, who was making a fuss on the opposite side, raised his head, glared at Qingwen and yelled: "You girl is so boring, we men enjoy drinking and drinking, you just watch, how can you interrupt and talk too much?" There are no rules!"

Qingwen raised her brows upside down, squinted at Xue Pan, and was about to defend herself, but the Xiren behind Jia Yun saw this, and quickly went around to pull Qingwen aside to comfort her.

"Hmph, little girl's film!" Xue Pan snorted arrogantly, and then said to Jia Baoyu:
"Baoyu, I'm not talking about you, you're too used to your maids, look at my maids, if they dare to say no when I'm drinking, see if I don't beat them to death!"

Jia Baoyu squinted his eyes and stared blankly at Yinger and Xiangling who were standing behind Xue Pan. He felt that they were so pitiful. If he followed him, they would have a better life, but in the end he mumbled and said nothing. language.

Xue Pan felt bored, and turned his head to brag and fart with Jia Qin and the others.

Although Ying'er was a little angry, this was not the time for her to get angry. Xiangling was already afraid of Xue Pan, so she had to lower her head and weep, her mouth was pursed, feeling aggrieved.

Jia Yun and Jia Rong just watched the excitement, and they wouldn't get involved as long as they didn't fight.

Looking back, Jia Rong frowned and said, "Brother Yun is a good trick. Charming and Xiren are both first-class and good maids, but you got them here. Tsk tsk, I really envy you when you are a brother." !"

Jia Yun laughed and said, "Brother Rong, what do you envy? Are you not satisfied with being accompanied by a beauty like your sister-in-law?"

"Tch!" Jia Rong pursed her lips, raised her wine glass to touch Jia Yun, sighed, and said, "Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite!"

Jia Yun chuckled, but did not guide Jia Rong to continue.

He knew that Jia Rong was dizzy from drinking at this moment, as long as he provoked a little, he probably could hear a lot of inside stories about Ningguo Mansion.

But some things don't sound so good. It's a trivial matter to offend people, and it might lead to death.

In fact, the rich and noble families, the aristocratic families, look glamorous on the outside, but there is no one clean inside. If they are really clean, they will not live long.

Jia Yun patted Jia Rong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The greatest luck in my life is that I'm a child of the Jia family like Brother Rong!"

Jia Rong didn't understand the meaning behind the words, but felt that Jia Yun was sincere to others, so she was moved and drank a few more glasses.

After drinking and eating, everyone left one after another until late at night.

Ping'er and Yuanyang didn't leave in a hurry, but helped Xiren and Meiren to bring the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen before reluctantly leaving.

Cleaning pots and pans and so on, there is no need to be aggressive and charming, Miao can be responsible.

However, after Jia Yun drank, she smelled of alcohol, but she was not idle, and hurriedly boiled water to wait for Jia Yun to bathe and change clothes.

In the guest room, Jia Yun was sitting in the bathtub while Xi Ren and Mei Ren helped to rub their backs.

Xiren whispered: "Brother Yun, you should drink more sparingly in the future, drinking so much wine makes me panic when I look at it."

"Although wine is food, there must be a limit. If it is too much, it will be bad for your health, won't it?"

Jia Yun nodded and said: "Xi Ren's words are reasonable, but if you still worry about this and that when you are drinking and relaxing like today, isn't it too tiring?"

"Well, anyway, you are reasonable, and I also know that if you don't listen to what you say, it will be in vain!" Xiren rolled his eyes and said.

Charming interjected: "Sister Ping'er brought so many things here today, but we can't take them for granted. We had to find a chance to return them a year ago."

Xiren nodded and said: "Well, of course, it's really rare for girls to have such kindness, but we can't let them spend too much money. Let's think about it these few days and see what we want to send back."

……

The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

Jia Yun's family got up early and began to move.

In the past few days, the urgently needed things in the new house have been replenished one after another, and there are still some things that need to be bought slowly in the future.

After a busy morning, Jia Yun and the others moved to the new house in the back street.

After moving into the new house, the family was full of joy. Although Jia Yun kept a low profile and didn't invite guests for drinks, but when they arrived at the new house, they were all smiling.

Jia Yun helped Mrs. Bu to stroll around the courtyard, he said with a smile: "The house with three entrances covers an area of ​​about two acres, with more than 40 rooms and two courtyards."

"The courtyard on the right is a garden, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres. The courtyard on the left is the largest, covering an area of ​​more than 80 acres. Except for six houses and a circle of trees planted around the wall, there is nothing but open space."

"Before I told my mother that I wanted to grow vegetables, it was on the left side of the courtyard..."

Mrs. Bu smiled all over his face, looked left and right in the yard, and said with a smile:
"Mother is like dreaming now. To be honest, before, Mother would never have thought that our family could live in such a nice house. It's all thanks to you, Brother Yun!"

Jia Yun smiled and said: "This is also our family's good luck, mother, let me tell you, this house is a new one, it just started and then stopped, otherwise, even if we had the opportunity to buy it, we would not be able to afford it! "

This is to tell the truth, Zuokuayuan has more than 80 mu of land. Jia Yun heard from Zhou Kun that there are still many houses and various facilities to be built there. This house cannot be bought.

To put it bluntly, this house was not originally used as a residence, but a rather private clubhouse built to receive dignitaries and dignitaries, but before the construction was completed, something happened to the officials of the Ministry of Officials, which made Jia Yun cheaper .
