Baoyu asked Grandmother Jia to accompany him to Chixia Palace to take care of him. At that time, Grandmother Jia was in the Rong Mansion of Fengdu. She was serving her aunt and was somewhat restrained. He was willing to raise his beloved grandson and continue to be an ancestor, but he was afraid that Jia Yuan and his wife would not allow it.
The next day, Baoyu went to Jia Yuan's place to say good morning and accompany him to talk about some old things.
Taking advantage of his great-grandfather's joy, he tactfully asked for this matter and said it very sincerely. Jia Yuan was originally a loyal minister and did not care much about family matters. Hearing Baoyu's reasonable words, he immediately agreed. The State Duke's Furen also knew that Grandmother Jia was old and that the household affairs were usually handled by the YiNiangs. It did not matter whether she was here or not. Since Jia Yuan had agreed, he said,""Your grandmother is bored here. Let him evacuate.”Baoyu was overjoyed and chatted with him for a while.
After leaving the courtyard, he ran to Grandmother Jia and said,""Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother have agreed. Let's get ready to go.”"Baoyu has a lot of face," Grandmother Jia said with a smile."I was just worrying about how to tell the old man, but you said you'd come back."”Baoyu urged Yuanyang to return the things for Grandmother Jia. Yuanyang said,"They're all here. I'm new here, so how can I interfere?”Baoyu was very anxious to go home, so he could only plead with the maids. When they heard that Grandmother Jia was leaving, they hurriedly packed up. She put away one piece, took another, and asked Madam if she wanted to take another. They piled up all over the floor. Yuanyang couldn't stand it and said,"These things are all ready-made. They can't be short." He only cared about what the old lady wore and used.”This saved him a lot of trouble. He only packed his clothes and belongings into several big boxes.
When the Duke of Ning's wife found out about it, she quickly sent someone to say that it was the middle of the day tomorrow and invited the wives of the West Mansion to have a farewell dinner. They would gather in Huifang Garden. She even said that she must bring her brother along.
Grandmother Jia was busy and could only agree. When the time came, they would take the family's red wheel backseat car and bring Baoyu along. There was also a family troupe there, performing some auspicious and lively plays. The guests were all old aunts and sisters-in-law of the clan, so they naturally had a lot of conversations and jokes. Baoyu followed Jia Yan to another seat. During the meal, they talked about nothing more than historical events, the art of war, and their own achievements in the past. Baoyu didn't like to listen to it at first. The performance on the stage was " Exclusive Courtesan Belle." The young man who was playing the oil seller looked a little like Jiang Yuhan. He was even more upset and wanted to go back.
He stole a glance at Grandmother Jia's seat. She was talking happily, but he couldn't rush her. I sat straight up to the high lamp and then dispersed.
The next day was the departure date. Grandmother Jia led Baoyu to kowtow and bid farewell to Jia Yuan and his wife. Baoyu kowtowed to Daishan again and asked when his grandfather could go. Daishan just smiled. After asking again and again, Fang smiled and said,"I'm too lazy to go out. When your old lady is in her sixties, I'll go and join in the fun."”They hurried to prepare for the journey. Grandmother Jia sat in a green sedan chair with eight people. Sister Feng, Yuanyang, Qingwen, and Grandmother Jia's servant girls, Coral and Jade, sat in three large saddles. Baoyu rode his horse and led the way in front of Grandmother Jia's palanquin. After leaving Plentiful City, it was all yellow sand, so the carriage walked faster.
In an instant, they passed through the underworld, where there were other attendants waiting on them. Everyone helped Grandmother Jia to change the sedan chair, then those who sat in the carriage and those who rode on horses continued to gallop forward until they reached the second floor of the Crimson Clouds Palace.
Daiyu had already received the letter and had arranged to meet Yingchun, Xiangling and the You sisters there.
Grandmother Jia was seen holding Yuanyang as she slowly walked over, followed by Sister Feng and Baoyu. Daiyu and Yingchun took a few steps forward to greet her, calling her old lady. Grandmother Jia held each of them in each hand and said,"My sons, I've been heartbroken for so many days, but you're still here!"”Xiang Ling and the others also saw it. "This is the daughter of the Xue family. I know her." Who were those two? He looks so familiar." "This is Second Brother Lian's new sister-in-law. She's seen the old lady before, but I think she's forgotten." That was the third aunt of the You family, and now it was Second Grandmother Liu.”Then Zi Juan, She Yue, and Jin Chi 'er came forward to pay their respects. "How did you guys get together?" Grandmother Jia asked with a smile. I'm so confused!"
When Sister Feng saw Second Sister You, she felt ashamed! However, Second Sister You called him Big Sister openly, so Sister Feng couldn't help but call him Little Sister as well. When Third Sister You saw Sister Feng, her face was filled with anger. Sister Feng greeted her, but she ignored her and glared at her fiercely.
"I cleaned the house for the old lady," said Daiyu.”
He led the old lady to the main room of the courtyard, where the bed, cabinet and table were decorated according to the inner room.
There was also a back room for the servant girls to stay in. There was a red sandalwood mother-of-pearl long table against the wall in the room. In the middle was an ancient bronze and green Taishi Ding. On the left was a large flower pouch filled with peonies of various colors. On the right was a large plate of Dragon Spring ice patterns, filled with yellow and exquisite Buddha's hands. There was a row of rosewood chairs by the window. In the middle was a round table made of green landscape marble and a stool. There were also some famous paintings on the wall. The two paintings of Zhao Boju's Immortal Mountain Pavilion and Su Hanchen's meticulous beauty were even more exquisite.
Baoyu and Daiyu bowed first, and everyone else did the same. They invited the old lady to rest on the kang. Yuanyang took the spit pot and glasses case and placed them on the Kang table. Everyone sat down casually, except for Sister Feng, Daiyu, and Second Sister You. Sister Feng looked around and said,"This is even more exquisite than the old lady's house!”Grandmother Jia smiled." You look good. Stay here with me tonight."”
Sister Feng smiled." This house must be blessed to be so good that I want to live in it. It must be worthy!"”"Sister Lin," he said to Daiyu,"you've never been a big fan of the house. It's a pity that you've decorated it so well." I didn't manage to make it in time. I heard that my aunt and aunt also saw it. I really like it for my sister. I also heard Brother Bao say that my sister is still thinking about me behind my back. As an elder sister, I'm too embarrassed. How can I face my sister?”Hearing this, Daiyu felt a little embarrassed. After a long while, he replied,"Sister Feng is still so good at talking!"”Sister Feng was a person with a heart disease. When she heard this, her face immediately turned red.
At this moment, Xiang Ling and Third Sister You were talking to each other. Seeing that Yingchun was sitting there silently, Grandmother Jia asked,""Ying girl, do you live here too?”"I'm staying in the 'Misfortune Agency' over there," said Ying Chun.”Grandmother Jia frowned." Why do you only have this name? It's quite unpleasant to hear." Since I'm here, you should stay at home for a few days.”Yingchun said," I've also been here constantly wishing that Brother Yibao isn't at home. He brought me here to keep Sister Lin company and hasn't been back for several days."”"Where's Baoyu?" asked Grandmother Jia.
"He's busy with nothing," said Daiyu with a smile."He can't sit still for a while." He did not know what he was doing next.”"I'll also go to your bridal chamber to have a look," said Grandmother Jia.”
As he spoke, he sat up. Daiyu hurriedly called Yuanyang and Qingwen, but they were not here. Coral and Emerald heard him and walked in. Grandmother Jia helped the two of them to the backyard, followed by Daiyu and the others.
When they entered the central room, Baoyu, Yuanyang, and Qingwen were in the west room telling Sheyue, Zijuan, and the others about what had happened in Plentiful City these two days. When they heard Grandmother Jia speak, they hurriedly walked out. "The old lady is in good spirits. She doesn't look tired at all."”"I've been bored these days," Grandmother Jia said."Now that I've been evacuated, I'm full of energy.”"People are in high spirits when there's good news," said Sister Feng with a smile. The Queen Mother was depressed. Her grandson had just married a wife and had stolen a peach from his mother-in-law's house to give to his grandmother. This smile had lasted for more than 3,000 years!”Grandmother Jia laughed,"You monkey, you can't forget to eat bee shit."”Everyone laughed.
Grandmother Jia entered the bridal chamber and said,"I seem to have been to this place before."”"It's a bit like Happy Red Court," said Ying Chun with a smile.”"He doesn't really look like him," Grandmother Jia said."But at first glance, he looks very much like him!"”He also saw the embroidered curtains and brocade curtains in the room. The colorful carpet was very gorgeous and said,"The new house should be gorgeous.
That little girl Bao liked simplicity, so it wasn't a good thing.”
Daiyu had the old lady recline on the recliner, facing the portrait of a rich immortal painted by Concubine Yuan. It was a painting of peony and daffodils, and in the middle was a virtuous imperial concubine's red seal. "Did Lady Yuan draw this?" Grandmother Jia asked.”"Normally, there are ghostwriters, but this one was drawn personally." He also knows how to draw mountains and rivers." "The Empress used to like painting at home, but she never learned it."
It was probably drawn during the few years in the palace.”
While everyone was talking, Baoyu quietly pulled on Daiyu's clothes and said,"Has Sister Feng's room been tidied up for him?”"Do I need you to say that?" Daiyu glanced at him.”Grandmother Jia asked how Xiang Ling and Third Sister You came here, and the two of them told each other. Grandmother Jia said,"I really feel sorry for the concubine. She has been turned upside down by that troublemaker." Finally, he had enough and left. With a grandson, he could live a peaceful life, but he hindered Miss Ling.”"I heard from the old master in the East Mansion that Brother Zhen is going to send troops to war." Your sister is so honest. Once Brother Zhen leaves, won't the fu disperse?”
As they were talking, Yuanyang replied,"Old Lady, the food is ready."”Grandmother Jia and the others went to the middle court again. Daiyu asked Yingchun, Xiangling and Third Sister You to eat with Grandmother Jia. "Where's Little Feng and the others?" Grandmother Jia asked.”"I've put it aside for the two sisters-in-law."”
