Five hundred and sixty-two: Relatives(2/2)
Jia Mu and others listened carefully, but there was no reason why Jia Mu could not ask questions. She covered her forehead and said, "What's going on?" The maid Didi outside cooed for a while and then replied: "Go back to the old lady, outside.
The people said that it was irrelevant, but that water had leaked into the stable in Dongfu, and the Marquis had already sent people to rescue it."
Mother Jia was timid, how could she sit down after hearing what people outside said? Yuanyang quickly got up and stepped forward to support her. She led a group of people out to the corridor to take a look. Sure enough, there was a bright fire in the direction of Dongfang Mansion in the southeast across the street.
Liang, the Jia sisters all kept their mouths shut and were shocked, and couldn't help but worry about Jia Jing's safety.
Jia Mu was so frightened that she clasped her hands and closed her eyes and recited a few lines of Amitabha. She hurriedly sent someone to inquire about Jia Jing's well-being, and also asked someone to put some sticks of incense on the statue of Zhu Rong in the Buddhist niche behind.
After a while, someone came back and said: "Go back to the old lady! The fire has gone down. Lord Marquis, please ask the old lady to come into the room and rest!"
Jia Mu was still worried. She paused for a long time and watched the fire disappear completely. Then she led everyone in. The sisters were all thinking about Jia Jing and had no interest in listening to Grandma Liu's story. However, Baoyu asked Grandma Liu enthusiastically:
"You haven't finished telling your story yet! What is the girl doing drawing firewood in the heavy snow? What if she gets sick from the cold?"
Jia's mother quickly advised Baoyu: "You just said that smoking firewood caused the fire. You still ask, don't talk about this and talk about other things." When Baoyu heard that, although he was a little unhappy, he had to leave it alone.
I secretly thought that I would ask Grandma Liu for details later when no one was around, so I would just look for that girl anyway!
Grandma Liu was also a little worried over there, fearing that Mother Jia might think that she was preventing the East Mansion from lighting the fire. Fortunately, Mother Jia had no intention of questioning her, so Grandma Liu breathed a sigh of relief and picked out a few happy things to talk about.
.
Everyone unconsciously talked about the crab feast that Xiangyun hosted for everyone last time. Jia Mu and others wanted to pay back the banquet to Xiangyun. Xiangyun immediately said that she didn't need to pay back the banquet. When I get rich, I will treat my ancestors to a banquet every day!
Everyone laughed at her for being upright, but they still planned to hold a banquet. After all, there were many people today, and there was a "foreign guest" like Grandma Liu. It was not only for Xiangyun, but also for everyone to have fun together.
After everyone discussed it, they asked someone to invite Jia Jing. When someone came back, they said that Jia Jing was still busy with something, so he asked the old lady and sisters to use it first, and they would come back if nothing happened here for a while.
Everyone was not disappointed. Originally, Jia Jing was busy most of the time, almost every time he was invited, so everyone was used to it, but Grandma Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Naturally, she was like this with these ladies.
It’s nothing, but if I met the Marquis in that book, I would be scared to death!
