The Red Mansions

Chapter 69 The Second Aunt

After moving to a new house, I am still busy.

Originally, Jia Yun vacated a main house for Mrs. Bu to live in, but Mrs. Bu said she wanted to live in the back house.

Jia Yun tried to persuade her several times, but Mrs. Bu insisted that she wanted to live in the back house, so he didn't persuade her any more.

The back house is also very spacious, Xi Ren and Mei Ren both chose rooms in the back house.

Therefore, only Jia Yun lived in the entire middle courtyard.

As for the Miao family and Laipigou, they both lived in the inverted house in the front yard.

Speaking of Laipigou, these days he has started to learn to read and practice martial arts with Jia Yun.

Jia Yun thought that in the future, she would definitely need some assistants who knew the basics by her side. Seeing that Lai Pigou was a dutiful person, she also wanted to train her, so she used "Breaking the Enemy Fist" and "Eight Female Spears" obtained from Taoist Zhang. Teach him all.

On the contrary, the name Laipigou is very indecent, Miao also told Jia Yun several times, asking him to help change the name, but Jia Yun did not agree, only said to wait until she was admitted as a scholar.

In the spacious and bright kitchen, Miao Shi, Xi Ren and Mei Ren are busily busy.

Moving to a new house, although Jia Yun didn't make a big fuss, she still invited several clan elders from the third room over for dinner.

These days, the interests of the family are intertwined. Even though the family members can't help much, if they want to hold back, they are definitely good hands.

Therefore, in order to avoid troubles in the future, it is very necessary for Jia Yun to establish a good relationship with several respected clan elders in the clan.

In the middle courtyard, in the living room, Jia Yun was talking with the clan elders when suddenly the rambunctious dog ran in and shouted: "Brother Yun, Brother Rong from Ningguo Mansion has brought his wife over here. At the door."

"Oh?" Jia Yun was stunned for a moment, got up quickly, said a few words to the clan elders, turned around and walked out.

When they came to the door, Jia Rong and Qin Keqing were talking, followed by a few servants and maidservants.

After Jia Yun stepped forward to salute the two of them, she pulled Jia Rong aside and said in a low voice, "Brother Rong, didn't I tell you that my family doesn't invite guests for drinks?"

"Why, you moved to a new house, and I kindly came to give gifts to you in person. If you don't welcome me, then I'm leaving..." Jia Rong said with a smile.

Jia Yun glared at him and said, "You know that's not what I meant!"

"When we were drinking together before, I told you that I didn't want to make a big splash when we moved, so as not to attract people's envy. Did I not explain clearly, or is it something?"

Jia Rong waved her hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't come here with much fanfare, it's not because your sister-in-law was bored in the house, I just wanted to pull her out to get some air, so I came to you .”

Jia Yun glanced at Qin Keqing, nodded secretly, and said to Jia Rong, "Well, you're here, but I can't drive you away, can I? Let's go into the room and talk."

Just as Jia Rong and his party were brought to the middle courtyard, the gatekeeper ran over again. He said eagerly, "Brother Yun, the second master Lian and the second grandma Lian of the Rongguo Mansion are here too!"

Jia Yun frowned and asked Jia Rong, "Did you tell Second Uncle Lian about my move?"

"No, don't wrong people, I guess Uncle Bao said it!" Jia Rong shook her head and said.

Jia Yun wondered, "I didn't tell him about my move, how did he know?"

Jia Rong was a little embarrassed and said: "Hey, what, I was drinking tea with him yesterday, and I accidentally slipped the tongue and let him know."

Jia Yun pointed at Jia Rong, and said helplessly, "Yes, in the end it's your fault."

After all, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are elders, and Jia Rong and Qin Keqing also went out to greet Jia Yun.

When they came to the door, the three greeted Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.

Jia Lian smiled and waved her hands without saying a word, but Wang Xifeng stepped forward gracefully, looked at Jia Yun a few times, and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and Brother Yun's temperament is getting more and more outstanding. This scholar is different. His words and deeds are elegant and courteous, and he is romantic. I don't know which girl will be cheaper in the future!"

"Second aunt has won the award. Today, my nephew saw that my aunt is in good spirits. I think she has fully recovered, which relieved my nephew a lot." Jia Yun said with a smile.

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, stared at Jia Yun, nodded and said, "Please miss me, I also want to thank your old ginseng, if it wasn't for your old ginseng's help, I'm afraid I would have suffered a lot!"

Jia Yun shook her head with a smile and said: "The old ginseng is nothing but icing on the cake. In the final analysis, aunts and auspicious people have their own aura, and they have both blessings and wisdom, and they can bring good fortune in death."

After exchanging pleasantries, Jia Yun led everyone into the house.

When passing by the kitchen, Jia Yun called Xiren out and asked her to take Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing to the back house, while she took Jia Lian and Jia Rong to the living room to talk to the clan elders.

On the way to the backyard, Wang Xifeng pulled Xiren along with a smile, and said: "Before you were in our house, I only thought you were a dull person, but I didn't expect you to be smart, but I found a good place to go."

"Second Mistress Lian was joking, the servant girl is stupid, so she just wants to find a down-to-earth person to live with." Xiren pursed his lips and replied.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Well, our family Baoyu is definitely not a person who can live a stable life..."

"Second Mistress Lian, the maidservant doesn't mean that. Besides, the Second Master Bao is still young, but the maidservant has reached the age to talk about marriage, so it is justified to let her out of the house." Xiren said hastily. .

"Well, no matter what it means, I don't care too much." Wang Xifeng shook her head and said, after thinking about it, she looked at the yard and asked:

"Hey, your house is quite spacious, how much money did you spend to buy it?"

Xiren shook his head and said, "This servant doesn't know, it's all done by Brother Yun."

Wang Xifeng nodded silently, and murmured: "With the current housing prices in the back streets, the minimum house price for these three houses is nearly a thousand taels of silver. When did Brother Yun's family become so rich?"

Xiren bit his lip and replied: "I heard from brother Yun that he borrowed it from his classmates, and that this house was left behind by an official after his house was ransacked. Brother Yun said that we got a good deal and didn't spend too much money. "

This is what Jia Yun said in advance with his family.

In addition, when outsiders come, the courtyards on both sides will also be closed.

For this reason, Jia Yun specially asked Jia Wei to come over alone these few days and make a few movable fake doors for cover.

When there are outsiders, just lock it directly, the door looks like a courtyard wall, and put a few tall pots of bonsai to cover it, so nothing can be seen at all.

The reason for this trouble is to cover up the fact that the house covers an area of ​​nearly [-] mu. After all, such a big house is too easy to attract envy.

Although Xiren is a servant girl, she is also a man of the city. Although Wang Xifeng is shrewd, she can't tell whether what she said is true or not.

But she didn't delve into it. After all, Jia Yun not only had no enmity with her, but also had kindness to her. She was happy to pretend to be confused about some things, no matter whether they were true or not.

In the backyard, Mrs. Bu was sitting alone in the corridor holding the soles of her shoes. When she saw Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing coming, she quickly got up to greet them.

After greeting each other, everyone sat down to talk, Wang Xifeng held Mrs. Bu's hand, and said with a smile: "Fifth Sister-in-law, I see that Brother Yun is a handsome man, you will enjoy happiness in the future!"
