Chapter 183: Birthday Banquet, Asking for a Red Ticket)
Chapter 183 Birthday Banquet
It was Jia Jing's birthday. Jia Zhen first put the best food and rare fruits in 16 large boxes, and took Jia Rong to lead his family to send them to Jia Jing.
Jia Baoyu was called up early in the morning, and went with Jia Lian and Jia Qiang. After looking at the seats everywhere, Jia Lian asked, "Is there anything else?"
The family replied, "Our master planned to invite the great master to come to his house today, so he didn't dare to prepare things. When he heard that the great master was not coming, he asked the servants to find a group of small dramas and play ten games together, all of which were preparing on the stage in the garden."
Jia Baoyu didn't care much about these things. If Jia Lian hadn't come early in the morning, he wouldn't have come so early, because he was just waiting for Mrs. Wang and the others to come.
Later, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng came. Jia Baoyu went up to greet her. Jia Zhen and You Shi took her in. Old Mrs. You were already here, and everyone had seen her second and third sisters, and gave in to each other.
Jia Zhen and You Shi handed the tea and said with a smile: "The old lady is an ancestor, and my father is a nephew. At this age, this son dared not invite her to come. But at this time, the weather was cooler and the chrysanthemums were in full bloom. I asked the ancestors to come over and see the lively children and grandchildren. This is what it means. Who knew that the ancestors would not admire him."
Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Feng Jie'er said first: "The old lady said she wanted to come yesterday. Because she saw Brother Bao eating Tao'er at night, she was greedy again. She ate half of it, and she got up twice at the fifth day of the fifth day. This morning, I felt a little tired, so I told me to go back to the old man. I couldn't come now. I said there were a few delicious foods and some sucks."
Jia Zhen laughed and said, "I said my ancestors love to be lively. There must be a reason if they don't come now, that's it."
Mrs. Wang said: "I heard your eldest sister say that Brother Rong's wife is not very good. What's going on?" Jia Baoyu was also very concerned about it when she heard it, but the bad spirit was a little excited.
You Shi said: "She is very sick. Last month, Mid-Autumn Festival, she followed the old lady and played in the middle of the night. After coming home for 20 ris, she felt lazy and lazy to eat. It took nearly half a month. She hadn't come during menstruation for another two months."
Mrs. Xing continued, "Don't be happy?" As she was speaking, the outsider replied, "Master, the second master and the family are all here, and they are in the hall." Jia Zhen hurried out. Jia Baoyu is not as good as before, so he naturally has to go out with him. As for what You Shi wants to say, Jia Baoyu roughly guessed what the second half is.
Jia Baoyu went out to pick up Jia Zheng, Jia She, and Jia Zheng now see Jia Baoyu's more and more favorable, and he has no previous majesty. However, Jia She looked deserted, but he just said a few polite words.
After talking for a while, Jia Zheng also realized that Jia Baoyu was not in high spirits. If it were the past, he would have scolded him, but now it is different. He said to Jia Baoyu gently: "If you are tired, go inside!"
Jia Baoyu nodded in agreement. After a while, he planned to see Qin Keqing, but there was no time outside.
When he got into the house, Mrs. Wang was bound to dote on Jia Baoyu again. From time to time, Yu Shi said to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang: "Women, eat here, or eat in the garden? There is a small opera in the garden now."
Mrs. Wang said to Mrs. Xing, "It's very good here." You ordered her wife and mother-in-law to set up a meal soon. She agreed to the door.
After saying a word, everyone took their own way.
Soon after, the meal was served. You asked Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. You to sit on the side. She, Feng Jie'er, Jia Baoyu, and the second and third sisters were no longer here.
Mrs. Xing Wang said: "We came to celebrate the birthday of the master. Isn't this because we have been here for a birthday?"
Feng Jie'er said: "The master is easy to keep quiet, and he has already cultivated it and is considered a god. The wives say this, it is called 'the mind is conscious'." A sentence made the whole room laugh. Others laugh because of Feng Jie's words, but Jia Baoyu laughed in his heart because he knew that Jia Jing's life would be long before. After laughing, he sighed that the world was impermanent, how could everything go as expected and become depressed again.
Mrs. Wang was always suspicious when she saw Jia Baoyu, but because the distance was farther apart, she was not easy to ask, but just kept it in her heart and thought about going back to ask.
Old Mrs. You and Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng all had dinner, rinsed their hands, and then said they wanted to go to the garden. Although Jia Baoyu wanted to see Qin Keqing, he was not easy to propose, so he had to follow him.
Jia Rong came in and said to Youshi, "The men and uncles and brothers have eaten. The eldest master said that there was something wrong at home, and the second master did not like to listen to operas, and was afraid that people would panic, so he went there. The other family members were asked to listen to operas by the second uncle Lian and Qiang. Just now, the four princes of the princes of Nan'an, the princes of Dongping, the princes of Xining, the princes of Beijing, and the princes of Zhenguo, and the eight princes of Zhongjing, all sent people to send birthday gifts with names, and they all returned to my father and collected them in the account room. The gift list was all on the stall, and the gift letters were handed over to the people of each family. The people also gave them as usual to the guests and let them eat. My mother should invite the two wives, my mother, and aunt to sit in the garden."
When Jia Baoyu heard these things, he felt a little depressed. For Jia Baoyu now, he hoped for more changes, but Jia Baoyu knew that it was not that easy.
Mrs. Wang saw Jia Baoyu again and asked softly: "Look at you being depressed just now, but you feel uncomfortable."
Jia Baoyu shook his head and said, "I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, I just don't want to stay here."
After hearing this, Feng Jie'er said, "I'm going to see Brother Rong's wife. Baoyu, you have a good relationship with Qin Zhong. Why not go with me! It's better to change your mood."
Jia Baoyu was so eager that he said 'ok' and smiled a little more. When Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Baoyu liked him, she said, "It's very good. We all want to go and see him, but she was afraid that he would think we were making trouble. She said we should ask him." She also told Jia Baoyu to go back just by looking, and Jia Baoyu agreed one by one.
You Shi said: "Good sister, my wife listens to you. I'm relieved if you go and enlighten him. Just come to the garden soon."
So You invited Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and his mother to go to Fangyuan. Feng Jie'er, Jia Baoyu and Jia Rong came to Qin Keqing's side. After entering the door, he quietly walked into the inner room. Qin Keqing wanted to stand up when he saw it. Feng Jie'er said, "Don't get up quickly, it's dizzy."
Feng Jie took two steps, grabbed Qin's hand, and said, "My nainai! Why are you so thin after a few risps? So she sat on the mattress where Qin's was sitting. Jia Baoyu asked, sat on the chair opposite, and looked at Qin Keqing's weak look and felt sad.
Jia Rong shouted: "Come on, my aunt and second uncle are in the room and have not had tea yet."
Qin took Feng Jie'er's hand and said with a forced smile: "I'm not lucky. In this way, my parents-in-law treats me like a girl. Although your nephew is young, he respects me. I respect him and never blushed. Even among the elders and peers of the family, in addition to my aunt, everyone loves me and has always been good to me. Now that I have this disease, I have never made me feel proud. I have not been filial to my parents-in-law for a day; if my aunt loves me like this, I have a very filial heart, and I can't do it now! I think I may not be able to survive the New Year."
Jia Baoyu kept looking at Qin Keqing with deep thoughts. After hearing Qin Keqing say that, he came forward and said, "Give me your hand." After saying that, he didn't wait for Qin Keqing to answer. He ignored Feng Jie's shock and put his hand on Qin Keqing's pulse. Qin Keqing was about to move, but he was helpless that Jia Baoyu couldn't move at all. When Feng Jie saw it, she could only not see it at that time.
When Jia Baoyu let go of Qin Keqing's hand, Sister Feng said, "When will Brother Bao take the pulse? Why don't I know?"
"I'm just a joke, I want to not let my sister be so sad." After that, Jia Baoyu stood up, "I thought of Hui Fangyuan again."
However, Sister Feng didn't expect that Jia Baoyu would say this after she had exhausted her pulse. However, Jia Baoyu didn't ask much more questions than before, because she said, "This is good, my wife asked you to go there soon." Jia Rong just finished her work and came in again, and said to Jia Rong, "You go there with your Uncle Bao first, I'll sit down for a while." Jia Rong heard that she was with Baoyu.
Go to Fangyuan after a while.
Jia Baoyu accompanied Jia Rong out, and after looking at the scenery outside, he didn't want to go to Fangyuan. This was just a remark just now, because he said to Jia Rong: "Brother Rong, go and do your own business! I'll take a walk and go later."
Jia Rong thought that in this Ning Mansion, he allowed Jia Baoyu to walk around, and added that Jia Baoyu was an elder, and except for his age, he was superior. He himself thought about finding his second and third aunts to see if he could take advantage of it, but he left without any refusal.
Jia Baoyu was walking but thinking about Qin Keqing's body. Recently, Jia Baoyu learned some of the medical skills in "Baopuzi". He also had a shocking memory, but he could consume some simple pulses. Qin Keqing's pulse was not a problem at all. He looked weak and had not eaten for a long time or had too little food. As long as he had eaten, he would be cured. As for what disease caused him to not eat, Jia Baoyu didn't believe it.
Since what I said just now is still not enough to live, there is probably not much difference in time. This is a good thing, at least a few months left, but I thought that I had no choice but to have any help from Jia Baoyu, who was more anxious.
