Jia Baoyu's emotions have always come and gone quickly.
No, I just poured a few cups of yellow soup with Sun Shaozong and chatted about anecdotes inside and outside the capital, and then I forgot all my sorrows.
Cheng Xing showed Sun Shaozong a few articles, and proudly said that he had asked the Master to read it anonymously, saying that it might be difficult to get a candidate, but winning the title of a scholar was very easy.
"Second brother, when I become a scholar next year, don't forget what you promised me!"
Liu Xianglian has repeatedly rejected the position of this master, but Jia Baoyu has never forgotten it.
But this is also normal. After all, Sun Shaozong asked Liu Xianglian to go, which is a serious errand, but Jia Baoyu just planned to put on a name and start a detective journey justifiably.
The purpose is different, and the expectations are naturally worlds apart.
Sun Shaozong smiled, and was about to tell him not to be too arrogant, lest he would fall off the list, and he couldn't find the right way to cry, when he suddenly saw Xiren leading a little maid in, and said crisply: "The ancestor sent someone here, please be with me. The sisters are going to see the guests."
"guest?"
Jia Baoyu wondered: "What kind of guests, you have to call all the big guys?"
At this time, the little maid who followed up interjected with a smile: "It's an old lady from the country, what is your name, Grandma Liu, she seems to have some relatives with the second grandma - I don't know how she cast the temper of my ancestor and said it was my brother. My sisters and I have never paid attention to the suffering of the people, so I might as well call them out to learn more."
Hearing that she was an old country lady, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but pouted and said, "If I want to know about the sufferings of the people, I can ask the second brother Sun if this parental official will become an official, I need to listen to a village woman gossiping about it. experience?"
Saying that, he tossed his sleeves: "You go back and report to your grandmother, and say that I also have important guests here to entertain, so don't join in the fun."
The little girl agreed, and followed the attack and backed out.
Jia Baoyu brought up the matter of the imperial examination again, and even said that he had been studying poetry and books so hard recently that he was about to become a bookworm.
It's just that he talked about it, but found that Sun Shaozong was a little absent-minded, and couldn't help but wonder: "Second brother, how did you get this? Is there something on your mind?"
"Uh… "
Sun Shaozong was stunned and hurriedly covered up: "It's nothing, just listening to you talk about solving the case, I remembered a few unsolved cases in the yamen, and I was a little distracted for a while."
Jia Baoyu was relieved, but he knew that the reason why Sun Shaozong was not in his heart was actually thinking about the matter of Grandma Liu.
To say that before the time-travel, the character in the entire Dream of Red Mansions, he was most familiar with was this Grandma Liu—after all, the saying 'Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden' had been heard since childhood.
At this time, when he first heard the background story in this 'common saying', it was actually displayed in front of him, and Sun Shaozong felt a little dreamlike for a while.
However, Jia Baoyu heard that there were several unsolved cases in the government office.
Sun Shaozong couldn't help being entangled by him, so he had to cheer up and pick up something that could be said without hurting his stomach, and used it to kill his curiosity.
Just as the county government found a headless female corpse, but jumped out of the case that the two families claimed it, they saw that the little girl just turned back again and stepped forward: "Second Master Bao, the ancestors heard that it is Master Sun who is here with you. , let the slaves and Master Sun invite them over to speak - they also said that they are relatives, and there is nothing to avoid in front of the elderly."
Jia Baoyu was a little reluctant to hear this, but Sun Shaozong couldn't wait to see what the legendary 'Grandma Liu' was.
So he got up and pretended to ask, "I don't know where my sister-in-law is, but where is the old lady?"
"It's here, it's here!"
The little maid nodded hurriedly: "My aunt came out of the Grand Master's courtyard and went to the ancestors to say hello. Now she is gossiping with Miss Bao, Miss Shi and others in the Bisha closet."
"As it is."
Sun Shaozong turned his head and said solemnly: "I really should go and take a look. After all, it's the first time my sister-in-law has returned to her parents' house after she was overjoyed.
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he had to get up and go with him to Jia's mother's place.
Speechless all the way.
But when it came to Jia Mu's house, after stepping up to greet her, she had never seen the legendary Grandma Liu. Baoyu swept her mouth to listen, only to know that she was led down by Ping'er to take a bath and change her clothes.
Just as he was talking, Jia Yingchun came out from the green gauze closet and met Sun Shaozong. Sun Shaozong warned her a few words as his brother-in-law, telling her to take care of herself.
In fact, before coming here, Sun Shaozong also secretly explained these words, and now mentioning it again in front of others makes Jia Yingchun feel a little ashamed. Fortunately, she has been a mistress for half a year, and now she has made great progress. Kankan hides the past.
At this moment, Wang Xifeng also came out from the inside, and jokingly said: "Just now when I said, you stopped me straight, what's going on now? Not to mention that the uncle is thinking about it, even the uncle is afraid that you will be knocking in our house. Touch, isn't this just like a baby!"
There is no other meaning to these words, but the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. Jia Yingchun's heart skipped a beat, and the red-headed bulging face lowered his head and buried it into his growing chest.
Afraid of being spotted, Sun Shaozong hurriedly laughed and said, "Second sister-in-law is right. My brother is nearly forty years old, and he finally got this child. Naturally, it is very precious."
Wang Xifeng giggled and smiled, her phoenix eyes wandering around, but she was thinking about how to save others, and asked Sun Shaozong for the bonus.
It's just that before she could come up with an idea, Ping'er outside the door had already led Grandma Liu in.
But I saw that the old lady was wearing silk silk and satin, she couldn't even walk smoothly, she straight grinned, showing her mouth full of yellow teeth, and said, "It's a waste, it's really a waste, the old woman is so cheap, it's too expensive to wear. Such nice clothes?"
"Isn't the clothes just for people to wear? As long as they fit well, it doesn't cost money!"
Mother Jia greeted her with a smile, and then called Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others to come out and meet this grandma Liu one by one.
Every time a person was mentioned, Grandma Liu bowed and bowed, saying something like 'fairy descended to the world' and 'immortal reincarnation', causing everyone to laugh.
After introducing the young lady in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu pointed at Sun Shaozong and said, "This is our uncle's brother, and now he is in Shuntian Mansion, and his name is Sun Shaozong, you must have heard his name. head."
Although Grandma Liu didn't know what governance was, when she heard the words 'Sun Shaozong', her eyes widened, and she was about to kneel in front of Sun Shaozong.
Sun Shaozong's hands were fast and his eyes were fast, so he hurriedly reached out to support her, and said with a smile, "Now that I'm not in court, Sun doesn't dare to kneel like an old man."
"Deserved, Deserved!"
With Sun Shaozong supporting her shoulders, Grandma Liu's hands and feet trembled with excitement: "Master Qingtian Sun's name, which one doesn't know that one?! It is said that you are always reincarnated by Baolongtu, and you will be the King of Yama in the future, which is unexpected. ... I can't believe it's actually a relative in this manor!"
Hearing her talk about the rumor that Sun Shaozong would be King Yama in the future, the hall couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Sun Shaozong didn't even notice that he was smiling. He was a master he had seen before, so he wouldn't think that the old lady was vulgar, so he personally helped her to sit down to the next seat, making Grandma Liu yell "I can't".
Others were just watching the fun, but Mother Jia looked at the little ones, and they all 'respected' the grandmother Liu, and only Sun Shaozong treated her warmly, and she didn't look like a wealthy family.
When the two were compared and judged, she couldn't help but sighed a few times, hoping that Jia Yuanchun would be able to get a man in the palace.
But said that Grandma Liu sat down uneasy and answered a few words with Jia Mu, only then did she recover some spirits, and she searched her stomach to pick up the interesting thing, and told it vividly and vividly in the words of the lower Riba people.
Jia Baoyu and others have never heard these words
Self-consciously, it sounds better than the books written by Mr. Gu Mu, and they all just laugh and laugh, forgetting their initial impatience.
On the other hand, Sun Shaozong heard that the old lady's words were coherent, and when she talked about the people of the world, she also had a vague opinion. It was by no means so vulgar on the surface. Just as everyone laughed and laughed.
Even though Grandma Liu is a savage person, she was born with some knowledge. Besides, she is old and has experienced both the ups and downs of the world. Seeing that Mother Jia is happy, these brothers and sisters also like to listen to them. Even if there is nothing to say, they must make up In words.
Yin said: "In our village, we grow fields and vegetables. Every day, every day, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, in the wind and rain, there is an empty space for sitting, and every day, we make a pavilion on the top of the land to rest horses. What's so strange? Strange thing I've never seen."
"Like last winter, it snowed for several days in a row, and the ground was three or four feet deep. I woke up early that day, and I heard the sound of firewood outside before I left the door-I thought someone must have stolen firewood, I glanced at the window, but it was not from our village."
Mother Jia said: "It must be that the passing guests are cold. Seeing the ready-made firewood, it is also possible to smoke some and take it back to heat the fire."
Grandma Liu smiled and said, "It's not a guest, so it's strange, what kind of person is the old birthday star? But it turned out to be a very beautiful little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with shiny hair and a big red jacket. White silk skirt—"
As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard a noise from outsiders and said, "It's irrelevant, don't scare the old lady."
Mother Jia and the others listened, and hurriedly called for someone to come in and find out.
Then I heard a maid reply: "Water has leaked from the stable in the south courtyard. It's irrelevant. It has already been rescued."
Mother Jia was the most timid. After hearing this, she quickly got up and helped someone out to the porch to have a look. The fire was still bright in the southeast.
Mother Jia recited Buddha in her mouth, and hurriedly ordered people to burn incense in front of the God of Fire.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing also rushed over, comforting Mother Jia and saying that the fire had been saved, and asked the old lady to go back to the house and sit.
But Mother Jia waited until the fire was completely extinguished, and then supported the maid and walked in one by one Amitabha.
Everyone followed and filed in, and Sun Shaozong was about to follow, when he suddenly saw Madam Wang folded out from the inside again, with a hesitant expression on his face.
Sun Shaozong asked curiously, "What does Auntie have to explain?"
Madam Wang said embarrassingly: "I shouldn't have bothered my nephew, but the fire was actually a bit strange, and it happened that my nephew was a guest at my house..."
"Sure enough!"
Before he finished speaking, Jia Baoyu picked up the curtain and came out, and said excitedly: "A few trivial matters, why should the second brother come out? Son, go check it out!"
Thanks to the book friend 'Iron Man, cty.y' for the reward.
