Aunt Zhao's happy life

When he arrived at the flower hall of Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng saw Jia Mu holding Jia Zhu with one arm and Yuan Chun with the other, smiling from ear to ear.Seeing Jia Zheng coming in, Jia's mother said, "Are you worried about the child, or about your mother?"

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "Of course I can't let the two ends go. Can't my son come and sit in my mother's room at any time?"

Seeing his father coming, Yuan Chun let go of his grandmother's hand and rolled into his father's arms.

Jia Zheng stroked Yuan Chun's hair and asked, "The bowl of porridge I shared with your mother just now, I'm afraid I'm not full? Are you hungry?"

Jia Mu said: "The children can still be hungry with me? You are so heartless!"

Yuan Chun said: "When I came with my brother, I met brother Lian and asked him to come with him. If he didn't come, she said it was too late and Grandma Xing would scold him if I didn't go back."

Jia Zhengdao: "Lian'er is also a pitiful child. He has a bright background, and the elder brother is not easy to raise. The stepmother has never taken care of him since she came in. I haven't seen him for a few years. I think he is a lot better."

Jia's mother said: "This child has never been close to us. If he is not afraid of his father, he is instigated by that confused grandma. I don't want this grandson to come to relieve my boredom. He always blindly treats me when he sees me." Politeness, wait to slip away after the politeness is over, I forced to stay a few times, but it was boring."

During the conversation, Rui'er's laughter came from outside, and Jia's mother said: "This child is not young, and he can't change his proud temperament."

Ruier ran in and caught a glimpse of Jia Zheng: "I'm here to see our ancestors, what are you doing here?"

Jia Zheng said: "Don't you like me to see my own mother? Where have you been? You have been crazy for a day and there is no one. I said to look for you."

Jia Mu said: "I just said that you don't come to my room so easily. There must be some reason. It turns out that you are looking for Rui'er!"

Jia Zheng said: "What's the matter, the son hasn't had a good chat with his mother for four years, and he has a lot to say!"

At this time, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhou also walked in quietly. Aunt Zhou opened the curtain, and Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "It's really lively here, it seems that I came to the right place!"

When Jia Zhu saw her mother, she got out of Jia Mu's arms and threw herself into Mrs. Wang's arms.Rui'er got up to give up her seat, Madam Wang pressed it down: "I can't, I don't care where I sit." She pulled Rui'er's sleeve again: "My sister's clothes are still the old materials that used to be in the mansion, and they are out of fashion now. Sister, come to my room and I will find you some new ones."

Rui'er said: "No need, I'm not in the mansion, and I'm going to Jiangxi Road after a while. It's not good to dress too well there, not to mention hanging out with the common people all day long, and I can't bear to spend such extravagant money."

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "You look good in everything you wear, right?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "My sister is right. I have also been taught. Even Zhu'er and Chun'er have to learn from my aunt. Our food and clothing are all dependent on the meritorious deeds of our ancestors. We have nothing to contribute. Extravagance and extravagance. From this point of view, I also want to think about your hard work and morality at home, and it would be better if you are more simple and thrifty."

Jia Mu said: "You don't have to be too restrictive. It's boring to look like a widow. You still need to be decent."

Seeing Aunt Zhou staring at Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao, unable to say a word, Mother Jia laughed and said, "Ling'er, this is your man after all, and I haven't seen you talk to him since I came back. You are afraid of him." What are you going to do? Even Second Grandma and Rui'er can't eat your flying vinegar."

Aunt Zhou lowered her head and twirled the handkerchief around her fingers: "I... I don't have much to say, I'm very happy just listening to them talk."

Jia Zheng knew that he owed Aunt Zhou, so he said with a smile, "Ling'er, we all like the things you sent me a few times, and I'll trouble you to think about them in the future."

Aunt Zhou said: "It's just some snacks, vegetables and fruits. I only pick up some that are easy to store. Speaking of which, it's the old lady's money. I'm just giving some points!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Don't look at Linger's silence, she is sincere to Second Master and Ruier, always thinking about their hardships outside, saying that she is not worthy of enjoying happiness here."

Jia's mother said: "Good boy, it's strange that the old man wanted to give you to Zheng'er, saying that you were his No. 1 choice."

Mrs. Wang said: "Ling'er and Rui'er are really my right-hand men. If it wasn't for their help, I wouldn't be able to move around in such a hurry!"

Jia Zheng yawned and stood up, "I'm going to rest."

Jia Mu said: "Shuhui, take the agarwood from my place and smoke it."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng said directly, "Give it to Ruier, I'll go to Ruier's place to rest."

Jia Mu said: "You have been together for several years, don't care about these few days, spend more time with your daughter-in-law at home, even Ling'er's place, you should go there, don't be too partial."

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "I'm used to Rui'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I change someone else." After saying that, he went out first, and Rui'er had no choice but to leave, leaving Mrs. Wang in a dilemma in Rongqing Hall.

The next day, Mrs. Wang went to sit in Rui'er's west corridor ear room, Rui'er said: "I don't even have a place for you to stay in this kennel."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "You don't need to be so polite to me, I'm here to tell you something important."

Ruier asked: "What's the big deal?"

Mrs. Wang said: "You always say that you don't know where you came from, who your parents are, but you only remember an older brother, don't you? Last summer, a man came, and he had to see me when he found the concierge. He said it was your older brother, Zhao Guoji, you Do you have a brother with this name?"

Rui'er couldn't help being startled: "Yes, yes, he doesn't come sooner or later. It's been 20 years since I came?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's not his fault, even if he has the heart, he didn't redeem the money you went out, and the family couldn't afford it! Your parents died more than ten years ago, and your brother is now a family, and a son named Qian Huai."

Rui'er smiled and said, "Grandma's got it wrong, why is my brother's son named Qian?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Look at me, I missed this story. Your brother's family is completely bare, and he became the son-in-law, and the child follows the woman's surname. When Zhao Guoji came, he told you about your age, appearance, what happened when you were young, and what happened now." Now that you have become the second master’s aunt, you have explained clearly. You also said that you have a large black and blue birthmark an inch above your left waist, and that there is a white mark on your left index finger when you were young. You broke your jaw when you were two or three years old, and there is a mark. How can I not believe this?"

Rui'er said: "It seems that he really is my brother! Then did he come looking for me? What about others?"

Mrs. Wang said: "He claims to be able to write and count. I took the exam briefly and arranged him to be the accountant in the farm. Your nephew Qian Huai is now studying under the hands of Mr. Jia Dairu Jia."

When Rui'er heard this, she couldn't help but fell down and bowed: "Second Grandma's great kindness, Rui'er will always remember it in her heart!"

Mrs. Wang helped her up, Rui'er thought for a while and asked again: "Does my brother know that I haven't been here these few years? How can I find him now?"

Mrs. Wang said: "I told him everything, he should also know that the second master is back, I will ask the boy to send a letter, and see if he will come to see you someday."

Ever since she knew that there are still relatives in this world, Aunt Zhao looks forward to seeing each other as soon as possible every day.Jia Zheng was also very happy when he heard about it: "Shuhui has done a good job. Your brother is here, so naturally he wants to see me."

But for some reason, there was no sign of Zhao Guoji for many days.

Mrs. Wang treated Rui'er courteously, not only took her to sit in her room, invited her to have dinner with her, but also took out personal belongings for Rui'er, saying that they were sent by the Wang family and did not cost Jia's money. , is a little bit of my own mind.He also reminded the servants to respect Aunt Zhao from time to time and not to make mistakes.

Ruier almost let down her vigilance, she always said in front of Jia Zheng: "Madam may be repenting for the past, but now she doesn't target me at all, instead she regards me as a real sister."

Jia Zheng said, "It's fine if it's really changed. I'm afraid it's a weasel giving chickens New Year's greetings."

While Rui'er went to play in front of Jia's mother, Madam Wang found a few people in front of Rui'er, brought them tea and water with a smile, and said that they were all role models for Jia's family.

In less than half a cup of tea, she returned to the subject and asked, "I came to you for nothing else, just to care about Second Master and Auntie. Is Second Master in good health all these years? Can he handle it in the yamen? "

Zhen Mo said: "There are also minor illnesses and pains, but generally they are good, and they are also conscientious in their work."

Mrs. Wang asked: "Did the two of them quarrel? How do you get along?"

Zhen Mo said: "Never quarrel, it's very good!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Rui'er forced the second master to let her go, right?"

Ru Yan said: "It's not always like this, many times Aunt Zhao is also patient and puts up with the second master!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Did she ever speak ill of me in front of the second master? Did she chew my tongue in front of you?"

Ru Yan smiled and said: "Look at what Second Grandma said, Auntie seldom mentioned you at all, and she always said good things when she said it."

Mrs. Wang said: "That's nothing more than being virtuous in front of the second master! How does she treat you? Axi, Ale, Changsheng, Fugui, you talk too, don't be like wood!"

Chang Sheng said: "I'm not exaggerating. Auntie treats us exactly the same as her family. If there is anything, she will do it with us. Eating, drinking and playing are all equal."

The rest of the people also nodded.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "You guys are very protective of your master. You refuse to tell the truth, and I don't know what ecstasy soup she poured into you. I am your serious master! Don't say anything else, she is receiving people outside. Are they not joking about things? They are illiterate and impolite."

Ruyan said: "Grandma doesn't believe me, but my aunt is loved by everyone. Everyone praises her for her dexterity and candor, and says that the second master is blessed!"

Fugui said: "I also have to say a few words of justice for my aunt. She has been careful and careful in the past few years. She used to be the same as us. She didn't even know the money in the mansion. Now she buys a lot of money and has leftovers. , everything is calculated clearly, and I have a clear account in my heart!"

Chang Sheng said: "Yeah, where I can walk, I can't bear to bear a car. If it weren't for the second master who often gave her some gifts, she wouldn't see her adding clothes and jewelry all the year round. Disaster relief and well digging would be ahead of her."
