Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden
In the quiet and habitual Li Cui'an, it suddenly became lively.
Ladies, ladies, and ladies up and down the Jia Mansion laughed and surrounded the two old ladies and walked into the East Zen Hall.
Miao Yu was naturally interested, and quickly held a small cover clock of Cheng Yao's multicolored color and sent it to Jia Mu's face. Jia Mu glanced at Miao Yu and said with a smirk, "I don't drink Lu'an tea."
In this extremely luxurious Rongguo Mansion, the most noble person was Jia Mu. Hundreds of people inside and outside were eager to circle around this old lady all day. How could Miao Yu not know what was at stake.
She quickly smiled and said, "You know, this is Lao Junmei."
Jia Mu then took the lid bell in Miao Yu's hand and tried to take a sip. Immediately, she handed the tea to Grandma Liu next to her. Mei smiled at her and said, "You can also try this tea."

Grandma Liu was not polite, and took it and drank it all. The mouth said, "This tea is good tea." It's just lighter, just cook it for a while."
Her words caused Jia Mu and the crowd to laugh again.
This is the scene that happened in the Li Cui Nunnery in "Dream of the Red Chamber" when Liu Grandma entered the RongGuo Mansion for the second time.
Compared with when she entered the Grand View Garden, Liu Grandma's scenery this time can be described as infinite. This half cup of tea that Jia Mu had drunk not only won her dignity, but also laid the groundwork for her three entrances to the Rongguo Mansion.
As soon as Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, she appeared in the sixth time in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
At the end of that year, the weather was already very cold. Liu Grandma's son-in-law Wang Dog'er, because she had no money, worried about the winter all day. Even if he didn't have the ability to do it himself, he also went crazy with wine and lost his temper with his wife.
Grandma Liu and Ban'er
Grandma Liu really couldn't look away, so she counted down a few words from Wang Dog'er. As a result, the son-in-law and the mother-in-law quarreled.
Grandma Liu said that this capital is full of money. Only the king dog does not understand the truth that things are done in heaven and things are planned in people.
Wang Dog'er defended that he did not have any relatives and friends who were officials in the city, and he could not find a way to make money.
A word awakens the dreamer. This Grandma Liu really thought of a rich and powerful relative for Wang Dog'er. That was the Wang family of Jinling, that is, Sister Feng's mother's family.
Grandma Liu knew that Sister Feng's aunt, Lady Wang, was married to Second Master Jia of Rongguo Mansion. Therefore, he deliberately let wang dog go to this relative.
Wang Dog'er was afraid that he would go to eat the closed door soup. He didn't have the face to go, so he proposed that Grandma Liu take her grandson Ban'er to explore the mouth first to see if he could pay for it.
RongGuoFu
It is also forced by poverty to be helpless. Grandma Liu saw that her son-in-law was so useless, so she went hard.
It took a lot of weeks for this Liu Grandmother to enter the Rongguo Mansion for the first time. She is careful, cautious, and somewhat condescending, three or four times low.
A 74-year-old lady pulled down her old face, and even the servants who saw Jia Fu shouted "Taiye" with a smile on their faces. You must know that this "taiye" is the name of the county order. It can be seen how humble she is, afraid that she will not be able to enter the gate of rongguo mansion.
After inquiring about it, Grandma Liu had the privilege of meeting Lady Wang's dowry, Zhou Rui's family.
Zhou Rui's family and Grandma Liu are acquaintances. Before that, their family bought land, and Wang Dog'er also made a lot of efforts. After hearing Liu Grandma's intentions clearly, Zhou Rui's family also agreed to help her thread her needle and see if she could meet with Madame Wang.
Grandma Liu and Sister Feng
On the one hand, she is still a royal dog. On the other hand, she also wanted to show off in front of Grandma Liu, her position in the RongGuo Mansion.
This show-off intention of the Zhou Rui family really helped Grandma Liu a lot. Gave her the opportunity to cling to wealth.
With the help of Zhou Rui's family, Grandma Liu successfully met Sister Feng and a few maidens. At first, Sister Feng really thought that the two families were related to each other, and they seemed to be very close, and they were giving Food to Ban'er and arranging meals for their grandchildren.
After asking Madame Wang, I learned that the two families could not even match the word "relative".
It turned out that Wang Dog'er's grandfather had also served as a small Beijing official, and wang Xifeng's grandfather was an old acquaintance. The Jinling Wang family is one of the four major families, and Wang Xifeng's grandfather is also a red man in front of the emperor. Wang Dog'er's grandfather had the heart to climb.
Grandma Liu and Mother Jia
Because both families were surnamed Wang, they even recognized zong. Wang Dog'er's grandfather also transformed into a nephew of the Wang family. Unfortunately, after the death of Wang Dog'er's grandfather, their family was defeated, and the two families broke off contact.
"I said, since it's a family, I don't even know how to shadow." After Sister Feng understood the reason for this, she naturally no longer paid attention to Grandma Liu.
It's just that Madame Wang has also explained that the two families have some origins, and Sister Feng should not treat them slowly. After all, it is a big family, and it always wants face. Sister Feng said a few words, and then gave Liu Grandma 20 taels of silver and 1 hanging money, and then sent the two grandchildren away.
Grandma Liu ate wine
In Wang Xifeng's eyes, these 20 taels of silver were nothing more than a meal money. But for Grandma Liu, it was enough for their family to spend a year.
What's more, it's not a matter of more money and less money. Once with the Rong Guofu has a slight relationship. In the days to come, this Liu Grandmother's family can be said to have no worries about food and clothing.
For the experienced Grandma Liu, this point is the clearest in her heart. How could she pass up this opportunity to cling to wealth?
Therefore, in the next year, The 75-year-old Liu Grandma came to the Rongguo Mansion with Ban'er.
This time, she was not here to ask for money, but to give gifts. Large bags, small bags, with a lot of melon fruits and wild vegetables.
Mrs. Wang
With the first experience, Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion smoothly and met Madame Wang as she wished. But at first, the poor old lady was still not very popular.
Cao Xueqin wrote in the text: "Ping'er came to the house, only to see that Sister Feng was not in the room. Suddenly, the Grandmother Liu and Ban Er who had come back to fight The Feng had come again. ”
It can be seen that Ping'er has no good impression of these two grandchildren. A "and" word expresses the disgust in my heart.
Although it is said to be a gift, Grandma Liu is still cautious. She knew that Ping'er was a squire of some status. Seeing that she had come in, he quickly stood up and took the initiative to say hello to Ping'er first.
She was also afraid that Ping'er had misunderstood, and quickly explained the reason for this.
Wang Xifeng
"This year's harvest is good. Fruits and vegetables also bear more fruit. This is the head plucked together, and did not dare to sell it, left the tip of filial piety to the aunts, the girls to taste." A sentence, "The first time I picked it, I didn't dare to sell it", but it also showed that Grandma Liu could speak the Tao, and she was well versed in human feelings.
As the saying goes, don't scold the giver when you open your mouth. What's more, Ping'er was just a squirrel with some identity, and naturally did not dare to say anything more. Just a few polite words returned, not to lose the number of gifts from large households.
After a few small talks, I saw that it was getting late, and the city gate would be closed a little later. Seeing that Madame Wang had not come back for a long time, Grandma Liu could not sit still and deliberately left with the board.
Ping'er
How shrewd the Rui family was that week. Grandma Liu had sent something, and if she wanted to go back empty-handed, wouldn't she have lost the face of the Rong Guo Mansion? Therefore, she quickly said that she would look at it for Grandma Liu, that is, to ask Madame Wang's meaning.
Cao Xueqin said more than once in the text that Madame Wang is a person with a soft heart. It was indeed not early, so I deliberately let the Zhou Rui family arrange for Grandma Liu to stay for one night and leave tomorrow. However, it was a coincidence that Jia Mu on the side heard it, and asked about the origin of Grandma Liu.
In the two provinces of Rongguo and Ningguo, people of Jia Mu's generation have all become ancient. On weekdays, she is accompanied by her children and grandchildren, and rarely sees people of similar age.
It was hard to come to a rural old lady, but Jia Mu came to be interested. "I was looking for an old man from Jigu to talk to. Go and invite her and I'll see you."
Jammu
This sentence made this old lady, who did not even dare to breathe in the atmosphere, leapt into Jia Mu's "guest of honor". The girls and girls up and down Jia Fu also made a 180-degree turn in her attitude.
When Grandma Liu was young, she was also a person who had seen some scenes, not to mention that she had suffered from wind and frost. Naturally, the number of ceremonies is extremely thoughtful. When she first saw Jia Mu, she quickly said Wanfu and invited the old birthday star to be safe. In this large mansion with many rules, This small move of Grandma Liu first took root.
"Jia Mu was also busy saying hello, and ordered Zhou Rui's family to sit on a chair." It can be seen that at the beginning, Grandma Liu left a good impression on Jia Mu.
After that, the two people talked and laughed and talked a lot of homely things. It seems that every word of Grandma Liu can return to Jia Mu's heart. Although every sentence is suspected of flattery, it is extremely appropriate and considerate, so that people can't see the slightest trace.
Deng Jie's version of Wang Xifeng
In this way, Jia Mu's heart was comfortable, and she deliberately let Grandma Liu stay in Rong Guo Mansion for a few more days.
Sister Feng, who "did not see her before hearing her voice", was so shrewd. How could she not see the beginning of it, this Jia Mu must have been able to talk to Grandma Liu.
The most important thing in rongguo mansion is to make Jia Mu happy. The old lady was happy, and it was easy to say anything. Therefore, taking advantage of the kung fu of eating, Sister Feng arranged for Mandarin Duck to bathe and change clothes for Grandma Liu, and let her go to chat with Jia Mu.
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", it is said that the camp is clever, and Liu Grandma said the second, I am afraid that no one dares to say the first.
Her own heart, of course, is also very clear. If Jia Mu had been accompanied well, how could he have gained less of her benefits?
Back at Jia Mu's residence, Grandma Liu deliberately made up some strange things to tell Jia Mu. Not only did Jia Mu listen to her stunned, but even those young ladies and girls could hear God.
In this way, Grandma Liu would please Jia Mu even more. When it came, Jia Mu also said to Grandma Liu that she would take her around in this garden, so that she would be lively and lively.
Just the next morning, Jia Mu took Grandma Liu to the garden.
First I went to Xiaoxiang Hall, and then I wandered around the pool for a while. Say it's a pond, probably an artificial lake. Otherwise, there will be no continents in the pool, there will be pavilions, and there will be boats.
Visiting here, it was nearly noon, and Sister Feng and the ladies also arranged for dinner.
At this time, the attitude of the ladies and ladies towards Grandma Liu had changed, but it was only to make fun of her. To put it mildly, she just called to make Jia Mu happy.
Ping'er in the play
Just before eating, Mandarin Duck first called Liu Grandma aside and told her a lot. It seems that the rules of Jia Fu are actually intended to make Liu Grandma look foreign, in order to please everyone.
That Feng Jie and Mandarin Duck prepared ebony silver chopsticks for others, but they prepared a pair of ivory gold for Grandma Liu. When the dish came, Sister Feng also deliberately picked a bowl of pigeon eggs and placed it in front of Grandma Liu.
The ivory-encrusted chopsticks were heavy and slippery. Grandma Liu is already a 75-year-old man, how can she afford to catch a pigeon egg. Grandma Liu knew the deep meaning of it, but it was just to make herself ugly, in order to please everyone.
Eat pigeon eggs
Grandma Liu already understood the spirit of the spirit, and she could not care about face, and played a living treasure in front of everyone. While self-deprecatingly speaking, he ate like an ox, and at the same time poked up the eggs of the pigeons. I clamped one hard, and before I could put it in my mouth, I fell to the ground.
Sister Feng said earlier that a pigeon egg was one or two pieces of silver. Grandma Liu shook her head with regret and sighed, "These two pieces of silver fell to the ground, and I didn't even hear a sound." ”
Grandma Liu's faceless and skinless tossing and turning caused everyone to laugh heartily, and she herself was like a clown, performing alone. Grandma Liu is 5 years older than Jia Mu. The old man was so teased by the young man, and what a taste she felt in her heart. Cao Xueqin did not say anything, but she also said that Jia Mu had nagged Sister Feng a few words.
Garden
After all, Sister Feng is everyone's girlfriend, and she knows that it is inappropriate to act in this way. After eating, he also apologized to Grandma Liu. The Mandarin Duck was just a squire, and it was also reasonable to tease the guests at Jia Mu's banquet in this way, and he quickly said that he was not.
What kind of taste Grandma Liu felt in her heart was self-evident. But what about her poor old lady?
Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Where the girl speaks, let's coax the old lady to open her heart, but what is the annoyance!" You tell me first, and I'll understand, but everyone makes a joke. I'm going to be upset, so I won't say it. ”
In the afternoon, Jia Mu and Grandma Liu, surrounded by everyone, went to Xue Baochao's Garden, then to Lotus Champs, and finally to Miaoyu's Li Cui'an.
ikebana
And the half cup of tea in Li Cui'an made Liu Grandma's identity suddenly noble. Not only did he sweep away the previous humble knees, but he also drank the dignity of being in Jia Fuli.
Although, Cao Xueqin did not depict the expression of the people when Liu Grandma held up the multicolored small lid bell. Just a simple mention, everyone is a color of official kiln to fill the white lid bowl, but the meaning of this is already self-evident.
In this Jia Mansion, to be able to eat a bite of Jia Mu's leftovers is to get jia mu's grace. That must have won Jia Mu's favor and gained Jia Mu's approval.
Jia Mu has always had the habit of giving away what she has eaten to others. He once handed a biscuit he had bitten to the lady behind him, and also asked someone to bring a bowl of half-drunk porridge to Wang Xifeng.
Sister Feng and Qiao'er
That was a momentary sentimental move after learning that Wang Xifeng had suffered some grievances.
In that era of distinction between dignity and inferiority, it was a courtesy to be able to eat a bite that His Holiness had eaten. It is like an emperor inviting his courtiers to a meal, and even if the courtiers do not eat a bite, it is an infinite scenery.
The cup of tea that Grandma Liu drank was also the same reason. This is enough to show that Jia Mu has valued her very much, and even regarded her as her own family, recognizing this poor relative who actually has little to do with.
In this way, the atmosphere of the whole Jaffuri has changed.
Even Sister Feng flattered Grandma Liu and asked Her Grandma Liu to give her daughter a name, that is, Qiao'er. Later, Grandma Liu and Qiao'er also had a touching and profound story. That, of course, is later.
mandarin duck
After the end of the garden, Grandma Liu also planned to go home, and also ushered in the highest moment of her life.
That Feng Sister prepared a lot of things for Grandma Liu in big bags. It was cloth again, it was snacks, melons, fruits and vegetables, and royal rice, and an extra eight or two pieces of silver were given.
The first time I came, Madame Wang, who had not even met her, was even more generous, directly giving her a hundred taels and asking her to go back to do some small business. Even Ping'er, who was a little disdainful of her at first, also brought her several clothes and said not to let her grandmother dislike her.
Early the next morning, Grandma Liu resigned to Jia Mu.
Na Jia Mu also gave her several sets of gorgeous clothes, and also prepared some good medicines that ordinary people could not see. Such as the active Rodan, life-saving Dan and so on.
Stills of Wang Xifeng
The Mandarin Duck was also an interesting man. Although she was a squire, he also gave her a few clothes.
Sister Feng also asked Ping'er to arrange for someone to hire a car for Grandma Liu.
In this way, Grandma Liu exchanged a few bags of melons, fruits and vegetables for a cart full of good things in the Rongguo Mansion.
Her second entry into the RongGuo Mansion was successful, and that cup of tea made everyone up and down the Rongguo Mansion look up at her and never dare to neglect her again.
This also laid the groundwork for "Liu Grandma's three entrances to the Grand View Garden".
