Chapter 678 Four Onions(1/2)
Rongguo Mansion.
After seeing off her brother and sister-in-law, Sister Feng returned to Rongqing Hall and saw Mrs. Wang sitting on a chair with a smile and being kowtowed by others.
After asking, I found out that Mrs. Jia really liked Aunt Xue's niece Bao Qin, so she ordered Mrs. Wang to adopt her as her adopted daughter.
Sister Feng then stepped forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Madam, congratulations to Madam, we have another good daughter since our noble concubine!"
Mrs. Wang was also very happy. Although it was Jia Mu's order, she also felt that Xue Baoqin's birth was really rare, so after serving tea to him, she held Xue Baoqin in her arms and cherished her, as if she really had a daughter.
Similar.
It's a pity that Jia Mu above couldn't stand it anymore, so she snatched Ai with her sword and said: "Girl Qin, come here."
Xue Baoqin obediently came out of Mrs. Wang's arms, walked to Jia Mu, and said with a sweet smile: "Old lady~"
Just this clear childish voice made Jia Mu's dusty motherly love overflow.
She took Bao Qin's green little hands and caressed them, then turned around and smiled with Aunt Xue: "I really like this girl, my aunt is willing to let her stay with me for a few days, and keep her company."
Shall I relieve my boredom?"
Aunt Xue said: "The old lady loves her so much, it is her blessing."
Jia Mu asked Xue Baoqin with a smile: "Girl, are you willing to live here?"
Before Baoqin and her brother came, they had received instructions from Aunt Xue and knew Jia Mu's status.
She was happy to be treated like this and nodded obediently in agreement.
Jia Mu was so happy that she hurriedly ordered Yuanyang to go down and prepare bedding and other things, saying that she would let Bao Qin sleep with her tonight.
When everyone in the Jia family saw this, they couldn't help but feel jealous.
The last time Jia Mu liked a junior so much was when Daiyu went to Beijing for the first time.
Mother Jia didn't care what others thought. After holding Baoqin in her arms, she glanced at the daughters of other relatives and nodded secretly.
They all look good.
So he smiled and said: "I have always liked liveliness, but today it is rare that everything is complete. So many distinguished guests came to stay and stayed together. Everyone is in the same place, so it is so lively and lively."
Ms.
On the contrary, Li Wan's widowed aunt, Mrs. Li, said that she had already had a house built in the city, so it would not be too much trouble.
However, Jia Mu insisted on staying, and Li had no choice but to agree to stay.
It turned out that Mrs. Li brought her two little girls to Beijing this time. Halfway through the boat trip, she happened to meet Wang Ren, Sister Feng's brother, and his party, as well as Xing Zhong and his wife.
The three families came together, and they were all related to each other, so they walked together.
Xue Biao of Jinling was about to send his sister to Beijing to get married because his father had promised his sister to the Mei family in Beijing. When he heard that Wang Ren and his entourage were coming to Beijing, he quickly followed his sister Xue Baoqin to Beijing.
After arriving in Beijing, he found Aunt Xue and talked about making arrangements. Aunt Xue took his brother and sister to Jia's Mansion to meet their elders. They met Wang, Li, and Xing's family to visit Zhirongguo Mansion, so all four families met together.
No wonder Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were so happy.
Just at this time, the sisters in the garden came after hearing the news. After greeting each other, Xing Xiuyan and Xue Baoqin stayed beside Daiyu, holding Daiyu's hand:
"Sister Lin (Sister Lin)!"
Daiyu was also very happy and replied: "Sister Xing, sister Baoqin, why are you here together?"
Everyone was amazed when they saw it and asked how the three of them met.
Daiyu briefly told the story of her acquaintance with Xing Xiuyan at Xuan Tomb Mountain in Suzhou under Jia Lian's guidance before arriving at Rongguo Mansion, and her acquaintance with Xue Baoqin in Jinling City last year.
Mother Jia smiled from ear to ear when she heard this: "Okay, okay, it's more harmonious this way, hehehe..."
Sanchun and others found it incredible. Tanchun also pulled Daiyu and said, "I remember Miaoyu said that she used to seek Dharma at Xuan Tomb Panxiang Temple in Suzhou. Could it be that you all met at that time?"
Daiyu nodded and pointed at Xing Xiuyan with a smile: "She is Miaoyu's disciple."
When Tanchun heard this, he was both surprised and happy. It was already a joy to have so many little sisters in the family. Wouldn't it be better if they could also recite poems?
Although Miaoyu's character is not entirely likable, the sisters in the Grand View Garden all admire Miaoyu's talent and taste.
Since Xiuyan is a disciple of Miaoyu, he must also be very talented.
So he laughed and said: "There are such coincidences in the world. We people from all over the world have come together today!"
With that said, he pulled Daiyu and others to discuss how to prosper the poetry club...
"Second Master Lian is here."
Suddenly the maid's call came from outside, and the hall suddenly became silent, all eyes turned towards the door.
As the maid opened the door curtain, the handsome Jia Lian walked in slowly.
Except for Jia Mu and two or three others, everyone else, regardless of host or guest, all stood up, and many even couldn't help but take a few steps forward to greet him.
Being stared at by so many women, old and young, Jia Lian didn't show any timidity.
Glancing at the four girls beside the Sanchun sisters, Jia Lian stepped forward and saluted Jia's mother.
Jia Mu seemed a little surprised by Jia Lian's arrival and asked, "Why do you have time to come to my place?"
"I heard that the old lady has a rare visitor here, so I came to take a look."
Jia Mu calmed down and said, "Since your master went south, you have been responsible for welcoming guests.
I just see how busy you are, so I help you. Since you are here, you haven't met the two elders yet."
Even though Jia's mother said this, Li and Shao, who had already stood up humbly, did not dare to wait for Jia Lian to come forward to pay their respects. They both took the initiative to show kind smiles to Jia Lian.
Jia Mu pointed at Mr. Shao and said, "This is your eldest wife's sister-in-law. She came all the way from Suzhou to Beijing to visit your wife."
"I met my aunt."
"Don't dare, don't dare, brother Wan'an..."
After Jia Lian bent down and saluted, he looked at Xing Xiuyan next to Shao and said with a smile: "After so many years since we parted ways in Suzhou, I didn't expect that sister Xiuyan has become a big girl."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When she was in Xuan Tomb Mountain, Xing Xiuyan was just a little girl in her teens. Now four or five years later, she is already a tall girl.
Jia Lian's words made Xing Xiuyan feel a little ashamed, and Yingying stepped forward to pay homage: "Xiuyan, I have met Lian's second cousin."
The familiarity between them reminded Jia Mu of what Daiyu had said earlier, so she nodded and introduced Mrs. Li.
"This is your sister-in-law Zhu's aunt and her two cousins."
"I've met Aunt Li and my two sisters."
Although Li is Li Wan's aunt, she still looks very young.
And she was not as restrained as Shaw, so she bowed down and returned the gift with the most standard courtesy, and then took her two daughters.
Her two daughters looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and both looked slender and frail.
The two sisters look alike, they are both golden and jade-like, just like two flowers, which makes people feel pity at first sight.
"Li Min has met Mr. Hou."
"Li Qi has met Mr. Hou."
Jia Lian glanced at her two sisters briefly, and felt in her heart that it was not in vain for her to take the time to come and take a look.
It's true as Qingwen said, Li Min and Li Qi, plus Xing Xiuyan and Xue Baoqin, are really like four onions pinched out of a handful.
Absolutely eye-catching.
Seeing that Jia's mother was going to continue to introduce brother and sister Xue Baoqin, Jia Lian greeted them in advance.
"Brother Xue Biao, sister Bao Qin, we meet again."
Faced with Jia Lian's familiarity, Xue Biao was still a little shy, but Xue Baoqin took the lead and said with a very natural smile: "Brother Lian said that since you and Sister Lin returned to Beijing last year, we haven't seen each other for a year. I
I miss you and Sister Lin so much."
Xue Baoqin is already young. Not only is she the youngest among the four flowers today, but even with all the golden hairpins in the Grand View Garden, she is only slightly older than Xichun.
Coupled with Yousheng's rare appearance and such open and generous speech, everyone only found him cute and touching, and it was difficult to feel disgusted or harsh.
Jia Lian was also made to laugh by her bright smile and cute appearance. Looking at the little girl walking in front of him, he almost couldn't hold back. In front of Sister Feng, Baochai and Daiyu, he stretched out his hand to touch her.
Little melon seeds.
"Where is your mother? Is she in good health?"
Hearing Jia Lian's question, the smile on Xue Baoqin's face fell a little, and she said quietly: "My mother is not in good health. This time we came to Beijing to find a good doctor for her..."
Of course Bao Qin knew that her visit to Beijing was mainly for her marriage. But no matter how generous she was, she would not mention this in public, so she only responded with these words.
But Jia Lian heard something else.
Baoqin only said that Mr. Zhuang was in poor health, and also said that we were going to Beijing. It seemed that the second lady might also be coming to Beijing...
It was not easy to ask questions at this time, so Jia Lian smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much about this matter. I happen to know a few famous old miracle doctors in Beijing.
When I have time, I'll give them a generous gift and ask them to go south for a consultation."
Those in the Jia family who knew him didn't find it strange what Jia Lian said.
Only the Li family, Shao family and other foreigners were a little surprised. If Jia Lian didn't say this casually, then he would be too impatient for justice.
