Chapter 9: Seeing Mother Jia
Chapter 9 Meeting with Mother Jia
The Grand View Garden has not been built yet, so Jia Baoyu's residence is naturally not called Yihongyuan. As for the name, it doesn't matter whether it has or not. Every time Jia Baoyu goes to dinner, there are some maids following him. In addition to Xiren, who is unmoved, there are also a few little maids. The number is not fixed, but Xiren is arranged.
Halfway through the road, Jia Baoyu saw a beautiful young woman walking towards her. When she got close to her, Jia Baoyu also saw the appearance of the visitor. She had a beehive waist, a shoulder-cut, a duck-shaped face, a black hair, a high nose, and a slight freckle on both cheeks that really made the person look more beautiful. She had a feeling of being a little jasper. Jia Baoyu was about to think about who the visitor was, but Xiren beside her took the lead in greeting him, "Why are you here in person! Just send a little maid."
The woman opposite said after hearing this, "You're so embarrassed to say that when the old lady woke up, she heard someone say that the second master fainted for no reason. She was anxious to see the second master. But we were afraid that she would be too busy and the second master was fine, so we persuaded her to come back. But this time the supper was coming and the second master came. How could the little maid and the old lady be relieved? She couldn't take it as a matter of my own trip, otherwise the old lady would have to come in person."
After saying that, he greeted Baoyu and said, "Is the Second Master better?"
Baoyu had already remembered who the woman was on the other side. It was Jin Yuanyang, the eldest maid of Jia Mu. "I am another pitiful person!" Yuanyang committed suicide after Jia Mu's death. In the Red Chamber, she was one of the few people Jia Baoyu admired. Although Jia Baoyu thought a lot, his thoughts were actually only for a moment. When he heard Yuanyang's question, he immediately replied: "Sister Lao cared about it, but was just tired for a moment. There was no problem now."
Originally, Jia Baoyu was just a regular answer, but this answer made Yuanyang confused. As Jia Mu's maid, Yuanyang was naturally respected as long as Jia Mu was a day, but she didn't like power and didn't take it as much as she did. However, it was still obvious whether people respected Yuanyang. In the past, Baoyu talked to her like a joke, but this time Yuanyang clearly felt that she was different, but her ordinary reply seemed extremely serious, and even Yuanyang felt respect from it.
This forced Yuanyang to be suspicious, but he was suspicious, Yuanyang would not say much, but said, "Second Master, hurry up! If the old lady can't wait any longer, she might have to send someone again. By then, this supper will not be peaceful, and the girls have already arrived."
"I know, then we will go faster." Jia Baoyu said that and set off first.
Yuanyang's questions became even more determined when she heard Jia Baoyu's words. It would be fine once, but twice in succession revealed such a meaning. It shows that Jia Baoyu really respected her. Although Yuanyang was highly respected in the Jia family, she knew that the respect was only for the sake of Jia Mu's favor. These respects were just those little maids. Those who were like Xiren could get along with each other equally, let alone a favorite like Baoyu.
It would be fine if it was an ordinary person, but Yuanyang was a delicate girl. She respected herself and loved herself. Baoyu was quite kind to her, but the other children of the Jia family were not like this. Even if the Jia family had something to ask for her, she just pretended to behave and still looked down on herself in her heart. How could he be like Baoyu now?
Thinking of this, Yuanyang looked at Baoyu walking in front of him, and always felt that Baoyu today was not as usual, but he didn't know what was different. He just looked at him more and more and more, and there was even some gratitude deep in his heart.
As the speed was accelerated, Baoyu's residence was not far from Jia Mu, so he came to Jia Mu's backyard shortly afterwards. So when he entered the back door, Baoyu saw that there were already many people serving him. When he saw Jia Baoyu coming, a waiting maid shouted, "Second Master is here." Then he saw an old lady walking out with the help of others.
"My heart! Let me see if there is any injury or not. Why did I faint? I didn't tell me such a big thing. If something is wrong, I won't treat them."
Even if Jia Baoyu doesn't have the original memory of Baoyu, he knows that it is Jia Mu. What's more, the memory is fusion with strong feelings. Jia Baoyu hurriedly walked up to support Jia Mu and said, "It's not good that Baoyu is, it makes my ancestors worry, but it's no wonder that others are. I have nothing to do."
Jia Mu touched Baoyu's face and looked up and down, nodded and said, "It's fine, it's fine!"
As soon as Jia Mu finished speaking, a very loud voice smiled and said, "I just said Brother Bao would not have anything to do, but the old lady didn't believe it, so she wanted to let Yuanyang go and see it. Now I'm relieved!"
Jia Baoyu had already guessed who was talking when he heard this voice, but he still looked at the person who was talking. He saw that the man was wearing a golden silk eight-treasure-studded bead bun on his head, a five-phoenix-hanging bead hairpin on his head, a red gold plate, a dragon tassel circle on his neck, a golden butterfly-shaped flower-bird-satered narrow-sized jacket, a colorful silk-carved blue silver rat jacket, and a jade-scattered flower-scattered skirt. He had a pair of phoenix triangular eyes, two bent willow leaves and a eyebrows, a slim figure, a sao physique, and a pink face that was not revealed. Who could he be if he was not Wang Xifeng?
After hearing this, Jia Mu laughed and said, "You can say, okay, Baoyu is here to have dinner! He should be hungry after sleeping for a while." As he said that, he grabbed Baoyu and walked to the couch in front.
Originally, Jia Baoyu planned to exchange feelings with Daiyu and apologize to prevent Daiyu from continuing to get angry, but Jia Baoyu could not refuse Jia Mu's favor. You must know that this is Jia Baoyu's biggest reliance in the Jia family, at least now.
However, despite this, Jia Baoyu still looked at Daiyu sitting aside. Unexpectedly, Daiyu turned her head away when she saw Jia Baoyu looking at her. Jia Baoyu couldn't help but burst into laughter and cry. Although the two of them were slightly moved, the people present were not very thoughtful. Even if they were a little less minded, they knew to focus on Jia Mu and Baoyu.
How could Baoyu's actions beside Mu Jia escape the eyes of everyone? Feng Jie immediately said, "What's wrong with the two little enemies this time? They actually ignored each other."
Everyone laughed when Sister Feng said something, and Jia Baoyu was a little embarrassed. Jia Baoyu didn't consider some things in the Jia family just now. Daiyu blushed and spat at Sister Feng: "Don't talk nonsense, who is enemies with whom!"
Everyone smiled when they heard Daiyu's words. Jia Mu was happy to see Baoyu and Daiyu's relationship closer. This is also the reason why Sister Feng dared to tease the two in front of everyone. You should know that the more you laugh, the more you become.
After hearing this, Jia Mu laughed and said, "What a little enemy, Feng Lazi likes to write words randomly, but you are just eloquent. Both of them are my baby, Gada, and they both come to me to hold them." As she said that, she reached out to Daiyu.
