Chapter 247 Grandmother Jia 49
Chapter 247 Grandmother Jia 49
After the explosive and extraordinary dance ended, the entire Jinxiu Building fell silent for a long time.
Jia Baoyu in the next room clapped his hands for joy and even imitated his grandmother by throwing down a handful of golden melon seeds.
The joyful voices of the children brought Yun Xi back to her senses first. Jia Hu and the others in the side room blushed so much that blood seemed to drip out. Jia Zhu pointed at his brother next door and shouted, "How disrespectful! How disrespectful!"
Yun Xi glared at him and threw down a handful of golden melon seeds. It took a lot of courage for the two people below to be able to perform this dance, right?
“It’s not that easy to find someone you can talk to.
Especially after seeing so much betrayal.
Always uneasy, I have to be strong.
Who murdered my romance?
……
When I feel happy, I run around everywhere.
When you feel tired, just empty yourself.
Just listen to what others say.
Make your own decisions.
... "
As the song started, everyone's attention was seduced again.
After the song ended, everyone was immersed in it for a long time and couldn't come back to their senses.
"General, the northern part of the country has been occupied.
Six horses and twelve soldiers.
……
My hometown is in that beautiful place far away.
Hope lies in you.
The dreamland is wandering.
……
Waiting for the moment when my beloved returns.
Tears sing for you~~
... "
The relaxed mood ended, and everyone's thoughts drifted to the bloody and unpredictable battlefield.
Yun Xi followed the beat. These songs were her favorites. Hearing them in another world was both absurd and exciting!
The afternoon performance ended with a traditional Chinese dance. There was another performance before 8:30 in the evening, but the girls from the Jia family couldn't wait and had to go back before dark.
"finished?"
"Your Majesty, it's over."
The emperor looked at the dancers going away and said, "They are all beauties."
"Your Majesty, it just so happens that Old Lady Shi is here. How about I go get the most beautiful girl?" Dai Quan quickly pointed down.
The emperor shook his head. "Forget it, you don't understand. Beauty requires money to maintain. Old Madam Shi said that every girl should apply egg white and pearl powder to her face every day, and bathe her skin with milk and flowers. A girl spends one hundred taels of silver every month to maintain her beauty, and the more beautiful she is, the more she spends."
For the emperor, this amount of money is certainly affordable, but it is not necessary.
Dai Quan took a deep breath. How could this cost so much?
"Yes."
"But the last song is pretty good. It's based on the Three Kingdoms. Can you find the lyrics for me?"
"Yes, slave, go right away."
For dinner, Yun Xi ordered a table full of light dishes. One should not eat greasy food three times a day, as it is not good for the body.
"Grandma, are we going home after dinner?"
Little Yingchun said reluctantly.
Yun Xi looked at her, "You're reluctant?"
"I can't bear to leave! Grandma, please go back. Yingchun wants to live here. It's fun here." Little Yingchun patted her chest.
Yun Xi laughed out loud, "You have to go back even if you don't want to."
Yingchun was disappointed.
After dinner, everyone went out, walked down the stairs, and got on the carriage to go back home.
"You're back, how's it going?"
Nanny Gu helped pour a cup of tea.
Yun Xi was still not satisfied. "Madam Gu, you should go with us. It's very novel and will definitely be an unforgettable experience."
"That's right, Madam Gu, Ying'er will sing for you."
When Yun Xi was reading the letter from her daughter, little Yingchun had already started singing Gong Xi Fa Cai.
"Min'er gave birth?"
Tian Tian looked at her, "Grandma? My aunt gave birth?"
"Yes, last year, I got pregnant at the end of May and gave birth on the sixth day of March, the date was right. I gave birth to twins, two boys who didn't look exactly alike. We named them Lin Jun and Lin Qin." Yun Xi felt relieved. "It's a pity that I can't attend the children's full moon ceremony."
"Grandma, I'll go get a gift."
Tian Tian wanted to get up.
"No need. Your parents-in-law have taken it and they will take care of it." Yun Xi handed the letter to Wang.
Wang muttered, "I wonder if Min'er really has enough people?"
Everyone pretended not to hear, so Wang had no choice but to hand the letter to Tian Tian.
After Tian Tian and her sisters finished looking at it, she asked Mai Xiang to give it to the servant, and then asked the servant to show it to the young masters outside.
Nanny Gu patiently listened to Yingchun singing and Master Jue dancing, and said, "Madam, this song and dance is quite interesting."
"Of course. Nanny Gu, please don't refuse next time. This performance is always crowded every day." Yun Xi extended her hand to invite her for tea, and the two of them greeted each other from a distance.
"Jue'er, what are you talking nonsense about, kid? You deserve a beating!"
When Wang saw that her son was still singing, she interrupted him with a mumble.
Yun Xi explained to Nanny Gu, "It's a song from Zhenzhen Country."
Nanny Gu took Jia Baoyu in her arms, fed him milk, and blocked Wang's accusations, saying, "I have seen the world."
Wang looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, I am not doing well in my health. Zhu'er's wedding is only two months away. I would like to ask you to guide Yuanchun and Fengchun."
Yun Xi did not refuse, "I know, I won't let Zhu'er's marriage become a joke, you can just wait for your grandson in peace."
This means that she should stop doing trouble and live a peaceful life.
"Yes." Wang lowered her head and drank tea, smiling and saying nothing more.
Seeing her like this, Yun Xi sometimes really wanted to give her a bowl of rat poison. Wang made her truly realize that a biting dog doesn't bark. Before Zhang and Jia Hu fell into the water, and before the midwife who delivered Min'er's first child was fed laxatives, she always thought that her family was peaceful and harmonious.
If Wang hadn't been afraid of affecting her children's marriages, she wouldn't have lived to this day.
"The clothes you are wearing are made of Shu brocade from the south. I remember that it was sent by Min'er. I gave two pieces to Zheng'er to make clothes." Yun Xi was looking for trouble.
Yuanchun, the housekeeper, quickly looked at the fabric of her mother's clothes. "How could that be? I prepared clothes for Madam made of Japanese satin and blue satin."
Fengchun looked at his mother with the same confusion, waiting for her explanation.
Wang's hand tightened, and then she said indifferently, "The master gave it to me."
"When Min'er comes back, remember not to wear this. She doesn't like you wearing the gifts she gave you." Yun Xi looked at Lan Hua, "Go tell the Second Master that I won't give him anything Min'er sent me in the future."
Brocade is a kind of color-woven jacquard fabric with colorful patterns and brilliant luster. It is known as "every inch of brocade is worth its weight in gold". Every year, Jia Min never includes Wang's gifts in the gifts she sends, nor does she give them directly to the second wife. Most of the gifts are given to Jia Zheng and Zhu'er in person by Yunxi or Zhang. This shows how much she dislikes her second sister-in-law.
After kneeling in greeting, Lanhua quickly fled from the Shura scene.
Jia Fengchun looked at his sister in confusion and found that his sister was also confused. He couldn't help but turn his head slightly to observe the expressions of everyone in the room.
Sister Yingchun and her younger brother were, needless to say, ignorant children. Grandmother was displeased, Mother's face was livid, Madam Gu lowered her head to play with the younger brother, Sister-in-law Tian also looked puzzled, and Shaochun lowered his head to play with his sleeves. Could Shaochun know the reason? Fengchun secretly took note.
Wang was the first to bow her head. "Daughter-in-law, remember this. It's just a little Shu brocade."
