"Why aren't you waiting inside?" The mandarin duck complained to the little girls, "I won't come out for a while, you guys will be lazy and don't invite the girls and brothers in." ”

Xue Pan said with a smile: "Don't talk about them, it's a few of us who feel more lively when we talk outside, the eldest sister of the Shi family meets for the first time, and a few of us are new to each other, so we are here to make a blessing ceremony, talking and laughing in full swing, and I feel cold there." ”

The five of them entered Jia's mother's house together, Jia's mother had already eaten breakfast, sat on the Luohan bed and tilted her head to read an idle book, and saw everyone come in, a cluster of delicate nephrite, all outstanding, especially Baoyu and Xue Pan are dressed up the same today, very good-looking, and her heart is also very happy, she smiled at Baoyu and said: "You monkey, it's not good to eat in the morning, I know you're in a hurry to go out to play!" ”

A few people saluted to Jia's mother, Xu is old, Jia's mother was very happy to see such a young girl's energetic appearance, she said to Xue Pan, "This group of people want you to be a big brother to play, but it really will affect you." ”

Xue Pan said, "What did the old lady say, thinking that our family came to Beijing, and had been bothering the house, the old lady and the wife took care of a lot, I thought about it, and there was really nothing to repay, so I cheekily invited the sisters to have fun together, originally I also invited my mother to invite the old lady to go to the fun together, but I didn't expect the old lady to refuse to appreciate her face." ”

Jia Mu smiled, "I'm a seventy or eighty person, why bother to join in your fun, it's not that I don't want to appreciate my face, it's just that the New Year is approaching, and there are many things at home, I'm afraid that Concubine Nan'an's family will send someone over, if I go, no one will see them, not to mention that Brother Xue'er, you compromise, I still have something to worry about, you go and have fun," she asked Mandarin Duck to invite Sanchun out from behind, because Daiyu entered the house, Xiangyun came again, so Sanchun no longer lived with Jia's mother, Instead, he lived in the five green eaves and green tiles at the back, and Xue Pan hurriedly said: "Why do you need to work Sister Mandarin Duck, let's go over here and invite the three sisters by the way." ”

Mother Jia told Baoyu again: "It's fun to play, but don't mess around, you go to play today, the master is looking for you, I am in the way, you can drink, but you can't get drunk!" ”

A few people agreed and withdrew from Jia's mother's house, Jia's mother looked at these beautiful people, and was really happy in her heart, and the mandarin duck smiled: "The old lady is really happy today?" So many brothers and sisters are waiting for them like nephrite, this blessing is incomparable to others. ”

"These relatives and girls of our family are really good," Jia Mu smiled and picked up a handful of purple jade Ruyi in her hand, "Yun Yatou and the girls of the Xue family, as well as the three of them, are indeed good-looking, and other idlers can't compare, and the three girls in our family are still a little worse." ”

"Old lady, you are too fair," the mandarin duck smiled, "and there is a saying that your own family is not as good as these relatives." ”

"I'm telling you the truth," Jia Mu said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm just afraid of comparing the goods, isn't that what the old saying goes." It's really comforting to see these young children at this age, as if they are back to their old days. ”

Mandarin duck and the others covered their mouths and chuckled, "Don't laugh either," Jia Mu smiled, "Call a few people to invite Mrs. and Mrs. Aunt to come over, I have something to talk to them here, the Xue family's brother is doing things properly, I am very relieved, and Yu'er also said that when he was in Yangzhou in the past, the Xue family's brother also helped him a lot, and he should be given a reward, otherwise, others will laugh at people like us who don't know the etiquette." ”

Jia's mother is indeed feeling, after Xue Pan came, although Baoyu's temperament is still ignorant, but Xue Pan with it, seeing Jia Zheng or seeing guests outside, can deal with it properly, this credit naturally belongs to Xue Pan's body, the boy's family still has to have an older brother to help with the belt, although Jia's mother dotes on Baoyu but also knows that in this family, future generations need to have pillars to get up, the Shi family has two marquis on the body, no matter what, there is no need to worry within three generations, the Wang family, the prince Teng is so prominent, The Son of Heaven immediately promoted him to a high position and entrusted him with important tasks, and now he is the first person in the first position of the four major families, so naturally there is no need to worry, the Xue family ...... Although Xue Pan's father died early, but Xue Pan inherited the family business, but it seems that the blue is better than the blue, the Xue family is prosperous, his two national princes, originally the first prominent of the four families, but the decreasing title is a matter of the dynasty, unless the descendants of later generations have great merit, they can increase the rank of the title, otherwise it can only be slowly decreasing, so whether the descendants of the future generations are born or not is the key to the rise and fall of the family, the eldest son of Jia Zheng is very good, and over time, it will inevitably become a great tool, When the time comes, I don't know that the title of the duke of this country will be earned, but if you can change the Shi Lin Huaxuan and take the path of civil officials, this is also a way for the family to prosper for a long time, Jia Zheng was originally a student of reading, but when his father left a testament to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven asked if there was a son, so he rewarded the origin of the same Jinshi, which hurt Jia Zheng, and he was not allowed to go out on a serious path, but only as a low-level petty official in the ministry. His son Jia Zhu was originally smart and capable, and he was good at reading, but the sky was not eternal, and Jia Zhu died early, in this way, Jia's mother was a serious descendant of Rongguofu, so only Baoyu was left with a single seedling, where would he not love and regard it as a treasure? Even if he has any thoughts about making progress, he is afraid that he will follow Jia Zhu's old path, and the burden he will give is too heavy and harm Baoyu.

Therefore, Jia's mother is very grateful for Xue Pan's affection, Aunt Xue is treated preferentially in her, and Xue Pan's progress is inseparable, so from this point of view, the mother is more expensive than the child, it is not nonsense, Jia's mother told the girl to invite, at this time the mandarin duck said again: "The girls are ready, just wait for the old lady to order." ”

"Let's wait," Jia Mu said with a smile, "They are happy in Dongfu, let's find our own fun." ”

After a while, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang arrived together, and sat down as the guest of honor, "Mrs. Aunt," Jia Mu said with a smile, "You have been in the capital these days, I look at it coldly, although things are going well, but in the end the population is smaller, I think about it, your brother has helped with so many things, my wife and I don't thank you, it's really unreasonable." ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "What the old lady said, I'm afraid I'm going to die of shame." ”
