Chapter 153: Bastard!

The precious boy took a few steps forward, and at a glance, he saw a scene full of flowers. Today, all the girls in the Jia family dressed up to welcome the distinguished guests. Their beautiful faces were even more vivid now.

‘A little green’ took a few steps forward and saw two strangers sitting on the left and right of the old ancestor, neither of whom Jia Baoyu knew. He looked to the left first and saw a lady who looked quite similar to his family, and knew that she must be his aunt.

“Aunt.”

Jia Baoyu stepped forward and saluted properly. He could not find any fault in this regard.

The old lady and Mrs. Wang had taught him personally, so everyone was relieved in this regard.

Jia Min saw that he was well-mannered and was her own nephew. Although she felt a little uncomfortable with Mrs. Wang, she still smiled and nodded at him.

After meeting Aunt Xue again, Jia Baoyu moved to the wooden stool that Ping'er had brought for him.

As usual, his position was always next to Mrs. Jia.

But today, the lady has a daughter on the left and a granddaughter on the right. How can he sit on such a soft couch?

However, Jia Baoyu was not annoyed. He sat between Daiyu and Baochai.

The right side was occupied by the younger generation of the family. It was because Daiyu and Baochai had just arrived that the three sisters let the two distinguished guests sit in front.

Jia Baoyu could not help looking around as soon as he sat down.

The two beauties beside him were both stunningly beautiful. Even in this hall full of flowers, they were different at a glance. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the best of the bunch.

Daiyu found it funny to see this cousin looking around and looking so silly. She could not help but raise her handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth. She was a bit lively now. With her mother and grandmother protecting her, she was more courageous than Baochai, a foreign guest.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu took the wooden stool and squeezed forward, leaning close to Daiyu. After only looking at her for a moment, he could not help but say to the old ancestor: "I have seen this sister before."

The old lady heard this and laughed: "But it's nonsense again. When have you ever seen her?"

Ever since Jia Min had a big quarrel with Mrs. Wang before she got married, even if she occasionally returned to her parents' home during the years in Beijing, she never brought Daiyu with her. Not to mention Baoyu, even the old lady had never seen Daiyu.

Baoyu smiled and said: "Although I have never seen her, I think she looks good, and I think we are old acquaintances. Today, it is not a bad idea to just treat it as a reunion after a long separation."

It was really hard to evaluate these words. Jia Min just frowned slightly. Apart from other things, Baoyu's age could no longer be treated as a child.

Since ancient times, there has been a etiquette that boys and girls should not sit at the same table after the age of seven. It is not right for him, a twelve or thirteen-year-old, to talk to a girl so intimately.

Considering that today was a gathering of relatives, Jia Min thought for a moment and relaxed her brows.

As expected, Mrs. Jia also said, "It's better, it's better. If so, you brothers and sisters will be more harmonious."

Jia Baoyu was even happier when he heard this. He followed his habit at home and approached Daiyu and asked, "Sister, have you ever read a book?"

This really touched on Daiyu's interests. The Lin family was originally a family of scholars, and she had studied in a school. Not to mention how excellent Xie's knowledge was, her knowledge as a first-rank lady was far beyond ordinary people.

"I've read a little." Lin Daiyu was already modest. When she read books, she always read one after Chen Heng had read one. If she still said she had read a little, it would really be embarrassing for others.

Jia Baoyu was very happy to hear this, and felt that he had met a confidant and elegant person. He hurriedly asked Lin Daiyu what she had read, just thinking about starting a conversation. Seeing that he kept asking, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to tell him the names of classics, history, and collections.

Jia Baoyu thought to himself, this is really bad news, how could a fairy sister like these mundane things?

Under the coercion of Jia Zheng, he didn't like these books, and didn't want to waste his breath on them, so he turned the topic to his cousin's honorific name.

Daiyu had just said her name, and he asked about her courtesy name.

This move was already very inappropriate, and Jia Min just frowned.

It is said that waiting for a name in the boudoir means that a woman will be given a courtesy name by her elders before she gets married.

If there is no one in her family who is good at writing, it is also a pleasure in the boudoir for her husband to personally choose one after she gets married.

But no matter what, asking a woman who has not yet married for a courtesy name is extremely rude, and it is a blow to the family style of their Lin family.

Jia Min's eyes lit up, and after his daughter said the word "no", he was about to hit this nephew.

Old Lady Jia had already spoken to smooth things over: "Stop talking nonsense, pour me a cup of tea."

After being protected by her mother, Jia Min could not say anything more. She exchanged a glance with Old Lady Jia, who winked at her daughter, obviously hoping that her precious daughter would not give the monk face but the Buddha face.

But Jia Min had already endured it, but Baoyu rushed to give advice, wanting to show off his knowledge in public.

In the back house, he usually saw and met people with smiles and kind words. Since he was a child, no one except Jia Zheng had ever said a harsh word to him.

Jia Baoyu originally thought that women in the world were all like this, depending on him in everything and holding him in their hearts. So he boldly said: "How about I give my sister a wonderful word?"

This is really a bad thing to say. Jia Min was so mad that she was about to scold him. Lin Daiyu said cleverly, "No, no, dad told me earlier that he has already thought of a very good courtesy name for me. Now my cousin is thinking of another one. When the time comes, should I listen to dad or cousin?"

Everyone had seen Jia Min's expression, but because Jia Baoyu was a "treasure" at home, no one dared to say anything.

Only Wang Xifeng spoke up to save the situation: "You must listen to your uncle. He is the top scholar of the current dynasty, so his literary talent and knowledge are naturally first-class. He is not like us who are not good at writing, so his thoughts must be more subtle."

Everyone laughed and agreed after hearing this.

Even for a noble family like them, they knew it was not easy to pass the first and third place exams.

Everyone backed down with the words of Lin and Wang.

Jia Baoyu asked again: "Do you have jade?"

Everyone didn't know what he was up to. Daiyu thought that the other party was going to take out her own jade for her to see, and she was a little curious.

After all, she was also curious about what something that could be brought out from the mother's womb looked like. So she said: "I don't have that. I think that jade is a rare thing. How can everyone have it."

This was originally a polite remark, but no one knew how it annoyed Jia Baoyu. In front of everyone, he immediately went crazy, took off the jade, threw it on the carpet, and cursed: "What a rare thing, it doesn't even distinguish between people of high and low status, and still says it's 'psychic' or not! I..."

No one expected that this idiot would dare to throw a tantrum in front of the guests, and they didn't even know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, the jade didn't break, and it can be picked up and worn. Everyone was still celebrating.

"Shut up!!" Jia Min suddenly shouted loudly, and the people who were already frightened and wanted to pick up the jade were even more frightened on the spot.

Breaking free from the tightly held hand of Mrs. Jia, Jia Min stood up and came to Baoyu, with a pair of phoenix eyebrows standing upside down, and her piercing eyes stared at her nephew.

"Asshole, is this what your family usually teaches you?"

What kind of person is Jia Min? After getting married, she became a wife and a mother, and her temper was much more restrained. But once someone stepped on her taboos, it was like returning to the precious daughter held in the palm of Jia Daishan's hand when she was young.

She is Jia Baoyu's aunt. If she really wants to teach Jia Baoyu a lesson, others dare not interrupt.

All they can do is listen to her continue: "At your age, you should have read some books. There are women in the house and distinguished guests visiting. You don't know any etiquette and just barge in?"

"Go and see your uncles and brothers. How many people are here besides you? Seeing your unmarried women, you are giving names and breaking jade? It seems that you are just following your temper. Do you really think you are a royal noble?"

Jia Min said this to scold Baoyu and to tell her old mother. This child's dress is really indecent.

As the eldest son of the Jia family, Jia Lian usually wears a scholar's scarf in addition to the white jade crown when he goes out.

But Jia Baoyu is the only one. Is the purple gold crown on his head also something that people like us can wear?

Are you not afraid of the Ministry of Rites and the Censor knocking on our door when you wear the golden dragon necklace on your neck?

Which of these officials doesn't have eyes and mouths? The more you pretend to be deaf and dumb now, the more trouble you will have in the future!

Mother, you and your brothers are really ridiculous!

Jia Min was really furious, she was heartbroken for her deceased father, and she was also lamenting the stupidity of the Jia family.

Jia Daishan was smart all his life, how heartbroken would he be if he knew about it in the afterlife.

Such a stormy scolding really broke Jia Baoyu's heart.

Why would a woman scold him like this in this world?

He opened his mouth in a daze, trying to explain to himself: "Aunt, I..."

When Jia Min got angry, she was more frightening than Jia Zheng.

Few people in the room had seen Jia Daishan's face, only Mrs. Jia looked at her angry daughter and couldn't help thinking of her deceased husband.

Although Jia Min looked like her, her temperament was more like the old Duke. Once the old lady forgot to speak, who else dared to come out to persuade this young lady?

"Today, in front of the ancestors and your mother, I will teach you as your aunt. Even if you tell others, no one will dare to help you." Jia Min's face was cold, and she did not order anyone to beat Baoyu. She only ordered as an elder, "Go pick up the jade yourself and apologize to the elders."

"Ah..."

This jade was thrown out by his own hands, and he had to pick it up by himself? Jia Baoyu looked ashamed and afraid. He felt that his aunt was more scary than his father, and he felt wronged. How could it be his fault?

"Go!" Jia Min shouted.

How could their Jia family have such an useless and rude child?

Jia Baoyu didn't know if he was really scared or what, he stood there and dared not move.

Lin Daiyu was not afraid of her angry mother, so she took the jade on the carpet and handed it to Jia Baoyu, saying, "Cousin, take it quickly."

She knew her mother's temper, and the more at this time, the more sincere she had to apologize. Daiyu whispered, "Go and apologize."

Mrs. Jia also woke up from her dream, and hurried forward to hold her daughter, saying, "Your aunt is right, Baoyu, don't lose your temper anymore. We have someone in our family who can teach you."

When she said this, everyone laughed awkwardly and responded, "That's right, it turns out that your aunt is looking forward to the well-being of the younger generation, so she is willing to teach so hard."

Mrs. Jia took advantage of the situation and moved closer to her daughter, lowering her voice and saying, "Good child, mother knows your temper. There are outsiders here today, so please show some mercy to this evil creature. The child is still young, and you can teach him slowly in the future."

Mother, he is already thirteen. In Yangzhou, children of this age, if their families are not well off, should go out to help support the family. Jia Min was even more angry, but she couldn't get angry.

Wang Xifeng also came up and said all the good things. The two of them worked hard together to coax Jia Min back to her position.

At this time, look at the happy family atmosphere. Then he looked at Baochai, who was preparing to participate in the talent show, and Mrs. Wang, the 'old monk entering meditation'. Jia Min also felt sad in her heart. Dad, if you know the truth, would you have thought of what our family is like today?

…………

…………

After the family had dinner, Wang Xifeng returned to the house and bumped into Jia Lian who had returned from having a drink outside. The couple couldn't help but share scenes from the day.

"I really didn't expect that our aunt has such a strong temper. Even if she is an ancestor, she still gives way to and dotes on her today." Wang Xifeng was taking off her makeup while recalling the scene, but she still felt a little frightened.

As the eldest sister-in-law, she used to pamper and let go of Mrs. Jia's beloved when she met her in the past.

"What do you think." Jia Lian crossed his legs on the rocking chair and said with a bit of pride, "I told you about aunt, but she is amazing. Hahaha, if you really want to say that my second brother's treatment in the house is better than My aunt is just enough."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she couldn't help but said: "Does the old prince love her so much?"

"No, if you ask the old servants in the house to inquire." Jia Lian gave him a thumbs up, "What grandpa often talks about is: if aunt were a man, he could still protect the wealth of three generations of our Jia family. ”

"Is this true?" Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up and she said happily.

Even though she has all kinds of faults, she has two real advantages.

First, after marrying into the Jia family, he focused solely on Jia Lian and the Jia family. He even did not hesitate to take out the dowry to decorate the appearance of Jia's family.

The second is that she usually treats the relatives, friends and sisters-in-law of the Jia family, and she can't find anything wrong with them.

Servants and outsiders only saw her fierceness and fierceness. But Wang Xifeng's good intentions towards Jia Lian, the younger brothers and sisters of Jia's family, and the elders in the family were all obvious.

It's not that Jia Lian doesn't recognize her good qualities, it's just that she was used to being dissolute in the past. He guessed Wang Xifeng's thoughts and immediately advised: "Don't even think about asking her to give you any advice. Just stop thinking about using her strength. The Lin family's path is different from ours after all."

After all, he was a man running around outside. When he heard what he said, even Wang Xifeng couldn't help but wonder: "Why is it different? Tell me quickly."

"Hey." Jia Lian laughed and pulled Wang Xifeng into his arms. He was used to eating weeds in Yangzhou during this period, and suddenly he felt the fragrance of domestic flowers again. Now that I had a strong appetite, I simply carried my wife to bed. While undressing and undressing, I said, "I want to know. Be a good servant, and I will tell you."

…………

…………

After returning from Mrs. Jia's place, Jia Min sat in her room and ordered someone to call Daiyu.

The mother and daughter met at a certain place. Daiyu first paid a few words of concern about the chat between the two elders, and then listened to Jia Min read to her.

"This girl's name is Yingge." Jia Min pointed to a pretty girl next to her, "Your ancestor pointed it out to you when he saw that there was only one Xue Yan around you."

Daiyu hurriedly nodded to the girl, and the maid named Yingge quickly bent down to salute, stood up, and stood silently behind her young lady.

"Then I will go and thank my ancestors tomorrow." Daiyu said to Jia Min.

This was a proper courtesy, Jia Min didn't say much. Seeing that her mother still looked worried, Daiyu comforted her and said, "Mom, I think my cousin is just young and ignorant. You don't need to get angry."

Jia Min looked at Daiyu and knew that her daughter's knowledge in this area was still a bit shallow, so she directly taught: "Yu'er, you were born in a family like ours. Being ignorant is the first-class fault. Compare with it. ”

"Why is this?" Lin Daiyu blinked and listened to her mother's teachings.

Seeing the wife and young lady talking about the Jia family's family affairs, Yingge, the new girl, quickly turned around and walked outside. Hearing the sound of making tea coming from outside, Jia Min secretly praised her for being a smart girl.

Her mother rarely made mistakes in teaching her maids.

Jia Min talks to her daughter to teach the younger generation.

But Ying Ge's new girl, if she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. When word spread, it was not the parrot who said it, but it became the parrot's word.

What's more, Parrot has just entered the Lin family and heard the new owner discussing the old owner's faults. Does that mean he listens or not?

Why can’t my mother’s teaching skills be used on her grandson?

Jia Min shook his head strangely and said to Daiyu: "If it is a big traitor and a big evil, then maybe we can still find a way out. People outside often say that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If you really want to win, what's the point? Don’t you have a good reputation? No matter how bad you are, you can still build a good reputation by building bridges and roads.”

"But if you just don't know what's going on, you just close the door and act like a deaf and blind idiot. You don't even have to worry about others laying secret arrows, you can just use a trap to get them all."

The two of them talked for a long time, and then the conversation was almost complete. Yingge just walked in with the tea. When Jia Min touched the tea cup, the temperature was just right, and she was even more satisfied with Yingge.

"From now on, just follow Miss." It was rare for her to take a fancy to someone, so she simply gave him a hand.

"Yes, ma'am."

"If that villain dares to break into your lady's boudoir in the future, do you know what to do?" Jia Min continued to test the maid's ability.

"My slave must stop him and ask Xue Yan to inform the wife."

Yingge knew that after tonight, her boss would be Jia Min, not Mrs. Jia anymore.

If anything happens, you should report it to Jia Min.

Jia Min nodded and continued, "Even a handkerchief is indispensable to the young lady."

If a young girl's personal belongings, even a handkerchief, were lost and fell into the hands of a man outside her family, it would be a source of gossip.

"Yes, Madam."

Xueyan and Yingge responded in unison.

Looking at how Jia Min handled it, Lin Daiyu knew that her mother was teaching her in front of her, and immediately remembered all these things in her heart.

Ahhhhh, I'm coming, I'm coming.
