Xue Pan touched his nose and stopped talking, and after a while, he heard a voice outside the courtyard, and the maid came in again to say, "Mrs. is here." ”

Xue Wangshi hurriedly stood up and walked outside the door, only to see a middle-aged woman wearing a cyan robe walking in, followed by several young women-like figures, Xue Wang's eyes were tearful, and he shouted, "Sister! "So Yingying bowed down, and the person who came hurriedly helped her up," sister," the woman also had tears in her eyes, "but I finally looked forward to you." ”

This must be the sister of the mother Xue Wang's sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang, the sisters met in the twilight years, not to mention the joy and sorrow, standing and crying and laughing, Mrs. Wang's side of the maid called the colorful clouds to help Mrs. Wang and said, "Mrs. Aunt just came, it must be very tired, Mrs. Auntie asked Mrs. Aunt to sit down, and slowly talk about family life." ”

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I'm confused, sister, sit down," Xue Wang and Mrs. Wang sat down, and ordered Xue Pan and Baochai, "Kowtow to your aunt." ”

Among the matrilineal relatives, the uncle and aunt are the closest, Xue Pan saw the two of them in one day today, and he didn't dare to slack off at this time, the two of them knelt down and kowtowed, Mrs. Wang hurriedly pulled up, "Why should my family be so polite," one hand took one and looked at it carefully, and asked the name and birthday age, "Pan'er and Baochai are so neat!" Mrs. Wang sighed, she looked at Xue Wang, "My sister is so blessed." Having such a pair of children raised under their knees is better than anything else. ”

Xue Wang guessed that his sister probably remembered the eldest daughter Yuan Chun, who was on an errand in the palace, and the eldest son Jia Zhu, who died early, so he hurriedly said, "What is this?" Baochai is the meat of my heart, but Pan'er is really noisy, every day in the wilderness, I really don't know how to be able to discipline! Hey, it's just a pity that your brother-in-law went again in the old year, if it weren't for the fact that there were no elders in the family, and he became more and more overlord, I wouldn't have entered Beijing. ”

This is a miserable meeting, Mrs. Wang saw Xue Wang say this, so she hurriedly persuaded, "I shouldn't have said this, my brother-in-law went early, and my sister shouldn't be too sad," so she introduced the people brought by Xue Pan and others, standing behind Mrs. Wang and wearing a plain sand storage skirt The young woman who looked like a young woman, Mrs. Wang introduced, "This is your sister-in-law of Brother Xianzhu." ”

This is Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law, Li Kun, Li Gong. The two sides were greeted again, and Mrs. Wang asked, "What about Brother Lan?" ”

"Brother Lan is a little uncomfortable today, and he gets dizzy in the morning, so his daughter-in-law let him rest at home."

"But you have hired a doctor?"

"Please, the doctor said that these days are about enlightenment and studying, a little tired, it doesn't hurt to recuperate for a day or two, and there is no need to prescribe medicine."

Mrs. Wang nodded, and said no more, Xue Wangyin asked, "What about Baoyu?" Am I ready to see him? ”

"He has won the life of his ancestor today, and he has gone to Bishan to burn paper money," Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "He has long been saying that his aunt is coming, and he must ask me to entertain him, but I laugh at him, this counts, my aunt and I are sisters of the same country, and there are not closer than you?" How can you still work what you command? As soon as I said this, I walked away with a smile again, sister, you said it was ridiculous. ”

Mrs. Wang smiled at Xue Pan again, "Pan'er will always bring more of you, Brother Baoyu, in the future, although he looks strong and strong, he is weak on the inside, and there are more cranky things in his mind, and he is very unsuccessful." ”

Xue Pan said with a smile, "What my aunt said there, although the Baoyu brothers have never met, but listening to what my aunt said, it can be seen that the Baoyu brothers are young, and it is common for the family to love them." ”

Mrs. Wang nodded, obviously very satisfied with what Xue Pan said, and when a few people were talking, another maid of Mrs. Wang called Jin Chuan, came in and saluted everyone, and said to Mrs. Wang, "The old lady has come to pass the word, saying that since Mrs. Aunt is here, she can't be seen, so she must quickly ask Mrs. to bring it over." ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up, "Sister, the ancestor has summoned you, let's hurry up, shall we?" ”

Xue Wang has always known that the ancestor of Rongguo Mansion is the serious mother-in-law of his sister, who married into the Jia family from the Shi family, and is the highest senior one in the four major families, and outsiders are called Shi Taijun, and they are all called Jia Mu in the text, she doesn't care about the affairs outside now, and the housework is handed over to Mrs. Wang, Xue Wang also quickly got up and straightened out the clothes, and went to the inner courtyard with Mrs. Wang, Xue Pan had some doubts, "Old lady in the inner courtyard, can I go?" ”

Mrs. Wang smiled, "Naturally, it doesn't matter, you are a relative of the head of the family, and the old lady likes to meet her relatives the most." ”

So everyone went to the main courtyard of Jia's mother together, bypassing the hall, and there was a large interstitial screen of red sandalwood shelf marble on the ground. Turn the interstitial screen, a small three-room hall, behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back. The five upper rooms in the front are all carved beams and painted buildings, and the wings of the verandah on both sides are hung with parrots of various colors, thrushes and other birds. On the top of the platform, there were a few girls dressed in red and green, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly greeted them with a smile and said, "The old lady was still reading it just now, but it happened to come." So three or four people scrambled to open the curtain cage, and they heard someone reply: "Uncle and Mrs. Uncle and Uncle and Miss have arrived." ”

When Xue Pan arrived in the inner room, he saw a gray-haired old woman sitting on the Luohan bed in the middle, with luxurious clothes, a calm posture, and a slight smile on her face. ”

Xue Wang's family hurriedly squatted and saluted, praising auspicious words in his mouth, and Jia's mother hurriedly ordered someone to help him up, "I spent this old day, I never thought that my daughter-in-law still had relatives and sisters outside, and the first time I saw it, I relied on the old and sold the old, and accepted your gift." ”

Asked people to sit down, Xue Pan Baochai stepped forward to salute, although Jia's mother is older, but the spirit is very good, there is occasional divine light in her eyes, she saw Xue Pan Baochai, hurriedly called forward, picked up reading glasses and looked at Baochai carefully, "This girl looks so neat!" She smiled at Mrs. Wang and said, "In the end, it is a good daughter raised by Mrs. Wang!" This character is probably only comparable to Feng'er! The girls in our family can't compare. ”

Xue Wang smiled, "I'm embarrassed to be praised by the old lady, it's really embarrassing." ”

"Truth, truth," the mother looked at Xue Pan carefully, "This brother is also good-looking, and his aunt has both children and daughters, so he is really envious of others." ”

"Don't dare," Xue Wang sat down and bowed slightly towards Jia Mu, "Please bring it today, please take a look at the old lady, and mention one or two, it is better than anything else." ”
