Red Mansions Counterattack Raiders

In the past month, Lin Dai has completely cured her frailty, and Mrs. Wang has recovered from her injuries.Those lost criminal evidences have not been exposed, so the mansion gradually returned to its previous appearance, and there were more laughter.However, Mrs. Wang lost 10 taels of silver, and she was really heartbroken. Naturally, she had to find a way to make up for it. She was bedridden and recuperated these days, so she turned her idea on Xue Baochai.

Mrs. Wang felt that her body was loose that day, so she put on plain clothes and went to talk to Aunt Xue with a smile on her face while holding a Buddhist bead.It was too embarrassing to fall and scold at the garden before, and now she can only use this method to restore some image, but the servants who saw her on the road bowed their heads and held their breath, and I still can't forget it for a while The second wife looked like she was yelling.

Mrs. Wang was not worried, and she didn't have the heart to play tricks when she saw Aunt Xue. She hinted that she wanted Baoyu and Baochai to get married as soon as possible with a few polite words, and she smiled very kindly. Standing still makes people unable to move their eyes away, I am in a hurry to settle down the good girl, in the future, the young couple will live happily, so we mothers can rest assured, my sister said, right?"

Aunt Xue took a sip of tea, and after a moment of silence she smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I only have one son and one daughter and I am used to being together every day. Now that I want to marry my daughter off suddenly, I always have this in my heart." I'm a little bit reluctant. Besides, getting married is a major event, so we can't rush it, it will take more days to make preparations, and I see that the mansion is a bit busy these days, so it's not good to add trouble at this time."

Mrs. Wang's eyelids twitched, and she knew that Aunt Xue was alluding to the matter of throwing things, so she pretended not to care and smiled, "There is an old lady here, so there will be no fuss, don't worry, it's just now When you are free, you have me and Feng girl to make arrangements together, are you afraid that you will not be fully prepared? When Baochai enters the door and give us a grandson in the next year, we will have everything in this life."

Aunt Xue was a little disbelieving, "The old lady is very neat, but she solved everything so quickly?"

"Is there a fake? It's just a trivial matter. The old lady and Concubine Nan'an have been friends for decades. Isn't it just a matter of finding someone to find something?"

Aunt Xue thought for a while but declined and said: "This child is getting older, so I feel that there are still many things I haven't taught her. I want to keep her for a while. Both are in the same mansion. I see you every day. If my sister has anything Whatever you want Baochai to do, just do what you tell him to do, just like your own daughter. And I heard that Baoyu is going to go to school after he is healthy, and it is time to work hard, so it is not good to distract him. Wait a while, Maybe we, Baochai, can still be a lady in search of flowers."

Does this mean that Baoyu has no fame again?Mrs. Wang's face turned cold and then returned to normal. She took Aunt Xue's hand sincerely and sighed, "Oh, there is no one at the moment, so I will tell you some heart-to-heart words. Feng girl is also me. My dear niece, I have treated her well these years, but with Baochai, my heart will be more or less biased. Now that Feng girl made a mistake and was taken out by the old lady, she was exempted from being in charge of the house. If Baochai enters the door at this time, she can naturally take over Zhongfu as Bao's second grandmother. If it is too late... I am afraid that the old lady will be coaxed by Feng girl again. You also know that the old lady has always loved her mouth. "

Aunt Xue was taken aback for a moment, and was immediately shaken, "This...the old lady can let Baochai take charge of the house as soon as she enters the house?"

"What's wrong with that? Didn't Baochai and Tanchun take care of them for a while before? The old lady was satisfied with her eyes. Besides, a few days ago, I happened to hear the old lady talking to Miss Lin, so I mentioned it in passing. It was rare for the old lady to show a cold face to Lin Yatou after mentioning Baoyu's rant about ghosts in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so that she could stay in the room and become a female celebrity if she had nothing to do. Look, has she not shown up recently? Can this marriage be won? It is also a good thing that the old lady likes it, and Baochai will be more stable in the mansion in the future, if it is delayed, depending on the old lady's love for Jia Min and Lin girl, who knows if there will be any changes?" Mrs. Wang looked at it Aunt Xue's expression became more and more exaggerated.

Aunt Xue was so shaken in her heart that she finally let go, "It's a big deal, sister, let me think about it, and I'll come back to you in two days."

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, stood up and said with a smile: "Well, I have something to do over there, so I'll go back first, so you can think about it."

Aunt Xue sent Mrs. Wang away, and when she returned to the room, Xue Baochai was already sitting at the table waiting. She walked over and took Xue Baochai's hand and asked, "My son, did you hear everything in the inner room just now? I think what your aunt said is also reasonable, it's rare that the old lady doesn't like Feng girl and Lin girl, if this opportunity is missed, what will happen if life changes in the future?"

Xue Baochai frowned and thought for a moment, her eyes became determined, "Mother, I don't know how many years it will be before Baoyu goes to high school. Now that my aunt has promised me to be in charge of Zhongfu, I think I can stand firmly in Jia's house. This is indeed true." It's a good time, after a few days, when my aunt is in a hurry, you should go."

"My son has decided?"

"Yes, mother, don't worry, my daughter will live well wherever she is."

Aunt Xue sighed helplessly when she thought that she had spent so much time trying to find a good family who was willing to marry her this month, and she scolded Master Xue for leaving too early for delaying her good daughter.

Mrs. Wang lied to the Xue family that the Jia family was doing well, and the Xue family believed it without knowing the inside story.Zijuan carefully observed Lin Dai for a few days, and found that she really didn't mind at all, so she was relieved, but she still couldn't let go, and she didn't know who would decide Lin Dai's marriage in the future.

"Girl, you asked your servants to redeem all the family members, but what do you want them to do? It's not that the servants are boasting. The parents, brothers and sisters-in-law of the servants are all honest people, and they are the most dedicated in doing errands. Girls, just tell them what to do." That's it." Zijuan thought that her family could not let her family take Lin Dai's money for nothing and stop working, and after waiting for a few days, seeing that Lin Dai hadn't ordered her, she rushed to ask.

Lin Dai looked at her and smiled, "You, my temper is getting more and more impatient. Didn't I say that I have a plan? I told you to redeem their prostitution contract first because I was afraid that when I took you away, someone would use They took advantage of you, and now they are free, you tell them what they want to do, just do it, return home to buy land for the juniors to study, if the money is not enough, I will have some here."

Zijuan hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, "Girl, this is absolutely impossible, your silver is still obtained as jewelry, how can the servant take it? Isn't the servant a heartless white-eyed wolf! The girl treats the servant sincerely, and the servant is also willing to accept it." Going through fire and water for the girl, the family of the servant is the same, and will never take the opportunity to run away."

"I just said you were in a hurry, but you are really in a hurry," Lin Dai stood up and patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Come on, if I don't assign an errand, you will almost cry, and let me tell you, Ye'er is close A few days ago, I helped me spread the news. Now I bought a remote small yard with 200 taels of silver. Maybe we will move there after a while. If your family is willing to stay, let them go there first Let's tidy up in the yard."

Zijuan's eyes widened in surprise, "Move out? Miss you...you are not old enough, how can you move out and live alone? How can you live without the protection of the elders? Girl, this slave knows that the Jia family treats you indifferently." Righteousness, but you have to think twice, bear it for a while, and coax the old lady to choose a good marriage for you in the future, the good days are still to come."

Lin Dai shook her head, "Last time when I went back to the old lady, the old lady believed in the slander and felt that I was against my relatives. I also heard that the second wife said that she would help me find a marriage. Do you think the second wife will really plan for me? I'm afraid It's time to leave the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den!"

"Oh my god!" Zijuan covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Why is the old lady so cruel? In the past, the slaves thought she was the kindest person in the mansion, and they wanted to help match the girl with the second master Bao. Really, really almost killed her." girl."

"It's nothing, it's good to get to know them earlier, otherwise, if they marry randomly in the future, don't you want to die unjustly?" Lin Dai looked leisurely, not in a hurry, "Now that Baoyu and Miss Xue are going to get married, I don't believe them It will be smooth, and the old lady will come to see me if I don't go out, and I will propose to move out of Jia's house and never appear in front of Baoyu again."

Zijuan frowned, "Girl, can the old lady agree? You were entrusted to the old lady by the old master and wife. If she let you go, wouldn't it be someone's spine?"

"So I asked Ye'er to help me give some gifts to my father's old friends, and gradually started to move around, and also wrote to reveal my situation in Jia's house. When the old lady disagrees, I will ask my father's old friends for help. There is always a way." Lin Dai said as she locked the important jewelry and books into the box, and she will be moving away, so the important things must not be lost.

Seeing Lin Dai's confident appearance, Zijuan suddenly felt at ease. The master was busy, so she couldn't just watch, so she went to get the brochures from the small warehouse to choose for Lin Dai, sorting all the items into important and unimportant ones. A few big boxes.

The two of them worked for two days before sorting things out, but Lin Dai accidentally found a booklet in an ancient book, which contained a list of the Lin family's property!Lin Dai read the pamphlet carefully, and then compared the items in her treasury, and found that what she had here was only a drop in the bucket, and the real property of the Lin family might have been swallowed up by the Jia family.The old lady swallowed the Lin family's things and abused the Lin family's orphan so badly, she couldn't understand where the old lady had such a big face!

Lin Dai copied two copies of the booklet for emergencies, and just as she stopped writing, the little maid at the door reported that Wang Xifeng had arrived.Lin Dai raised her eyebrows, put the unfinished brochures on the bed, and then went outside to meet Wang Xifeng.

"Why is Cousin Lian here when you are free?"

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yo, what is Lian's cousin sister-in-law? Didn't you call me Sister Feng in the past? This is my birth share?"

Lin Dai looked at her indiscriminately, "How could it be? My sister-in-law is no more born than my sister. They are all members of the same family. I was ordered by the old lady to learn the rules of female celebrities in the room. It doesn't mean that words and deeds have to be in line with status." ?"

Wang Xifeng nodded and looked at Zijuan and Xueyan who were standing beside her, "These two girls are getting more and more beautiful, and I am so envious. They have been serving you for many years, and you are the one who dotes on them. All the people around me just know how to work hard, wasting their good looks in vain."

Lin Dai knew what she wanted to do when she saw her mentioning the servant girl, she just smiled and listened and didn't answer. Wang Xifeng said that his mouth was dry, but he didn't hear what he wanted to hear, so he said directly: "Sister Lin, my place has been very busy recently. , Ping'er and the others are too busy, how about lending these two girls to me for two days? Looking back, I will definitely benefit from them."

Lin Dai shook her head lightly, "If Cousin Lian wants someone else, I'll let them go, but the two of them have been by my side and can't be separated for a while. You also know that my health is good and bad. , although the doctor looked better last time, but if you accidentally commit the crime again, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the mansion."

Wang Xifeng's face froze, and he was a little bit embarrassed, "What kind of work do they need to do by themselves? Otherwise, sister Lin will just lend me one, and your cousin will ask me in person, so sister Lin will have to save face, right?"

Lin Dai chuckled lightly, "It's really not possible. Cousin Lian is busy with Baoyu and Sister Bao's marriage, but I heard that Baoyu doesn't seem to know that she is going to marry Sister Bao. If he sees my maid, what will happen?" But it’s my big sin. Besides, speaking of cleverness, the old lady is the best one to teach her. Why don’t Lian’s cousin go to the old lady’s place to ask? If it doesn’t work, I can only ask someone to go first. Tell Baoyu clearly..."

Wang Xifeng met Shang Lin Dai's eyes, and instantly became angry from embarrassment. She was going around here and there, and people already knew what she was up to!She is the master who will never suffer at any time, and she immediately laughed mockingly: "Even if you tell Baoyu, what can you do? According to the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, if you want to marry Baoyu, he will not disobey your parents for you. He is married to Baochai, and when you see your elder sister Bao in the future, you will change your name to Bao Ersister-in-law!"

Lin Dai's smile did not change, and her voice was even full of laughter. She just looked at Wang Xifeng like a joke, "Where do you see that I want to marry Jia Baoyu? Just like him, he hates reading and likes to marry Jia Baoyu. With a rouge-eating temperament, which good girl is willing to marry? To marry him, do you have to guard against maids and servants day and night like you?"

"You!" Wang Xifeng stood up and knocked over the teacup in front of her. She was shocked and angry at the same time. She never thought that Lin Dai would say such words. She pointed at Lin Dai and laughed back angrily. "What a sharp-mouthed thing, I see that you have forgotten your identity, right? How dare you be so presumptuous in my Jia's house, do you really think you are still a treasure held by the old lady?"

"Isn't the old lady praising me for my family's money? Now that the money is taken by you, naturally no one takes me seriously. I know very well, Mrs. Wang, I will never do anything wrong in my life, and I will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." , you may have slept soundly at night? Have you ever dreamed that someone you killed came to hunt for their souls? Have you ever thought that it is your retribution that you have no children so far?" Lin Dai still looked at her with a smile on her face, and spit out The words made people feel cold for no reason, "Mr. Wang, don't try to use me, otherwise, I will let your marriage fail."

Wang Xifeng was so angry that her face turned blue, but she also knew that if Lin Dai really made a fuss, Jia Baoyu would definitely make it worse, so she didn't dare to say anything more, and walked away with a cold snort. Passing by the bamboo forest, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she raised her hand and slapped the road The thin bamboo next to him turned out to be as hard as iron, not only did not move at all, but also made Wang Xifeng's hand red. Wang Xifeng "hissed", before he could curse, the bamboo suddenly shook, and the branches and leaves were like a whip. To her face!

Wang Xifeng was horrified, staring at the branch and leaf with horror on her face, she couldn't move at all. In the blink of an eye, the branch and leaf brushed her hair and pulled it, knocking off her two golden hairpins, and her hair fell loose.The bamboo forest swayed for a while and then stood quietly in place. Only then did the people react, and they dared not go forward in fear. Wang Xifeng had already lost her legs and fell to the ground. Regarding the matter of ghosts, Lin Dai's voice seemed to be heard again in my ears, "I will never do anything wrong in my life, and I will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night..."

She shuddered, ran out of the yard, and immediately ordered people to surround the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Zijuan and Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief after closing the gate of the courtyard, and persuaded worriedly: "Why bother to get angry with her, girl? It's no big deal to ask us to do some work, but it's annoyed everyone in the mansion to belittle Master Bao like this. people."

"I didn't mean to belittle it on purpose. Isn't what I said the truth? Jia Baoyu first had a few servant girls as Xiren, and then several men like Qin Zhong. What's the difference between the male and female Tong Lian's second brother? If we say that Jia Baoyu is better than Lian's second brother My elder brother can compose poems, and Na Lian's second elder brother is also better at managing the family business than Jia Baoyu, I think they are just as good." Lin Dai got up and straightened her skirt, and said with a smile, "Do you know what she asked you to do? She I want you to help the bride into the wedding hall, and deceive Jia Baoyu into marrying me as the bride."

Zijuan and Xueyan were dumbfounded, "How could it be? Can such a thing be cheated?"

"Naturally, a few days ago when Jia Baoyu heard that he was going to marry Miss Xue, he had a fuss. Later, someone came up with the idea to deceive him in this way, so he happily prepared to get married."

Xueyan asked suspiciously, "Looking at Second Master Bao like this is considered sincere to the girl, why does the girl hate him so much?"

Lin Dai sneered, "How many copper coins is this kind of sincerity worth? It was rare when Lian's second brother first married the Wang family, right? Now? The days to come are too long, and how many people Jia Baoyu has been entangled with in the past few years ? There will only be more in the future, not less, I can't live this kind of life. Remember, you must keep an eye on the yard in the future, and don't allow him to break in."

"Yes, I know." Zijuan and Xueyan quickly responded.

After Wang Xifeng left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she went to the West Courtyard to cry with the old lady, emphasizing what Lin Dai had said, and even said that the bamboo forest was weird, almost turning Lin Dai into a demon!The old lady heard her words getting more and more outrageous, but she didn't believe a word, and even dropped the teacup impatiently, "Okay! I'm not dead yet, who are you mourning for! See how crazy you look? Why don't you hurry back and clean up? Don't provoke Daiyu, if you offend her and spoil your brother's happy event, I won't spare you!"

Wang Xifeng offended Jia Lian and didn't dare to offend the old lady again, so she had to resign with anger, and continued to prepare for Jia Baoyu's marriage.

Two days later, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai got married. Xue Baochai was helped into the auditorium by mandarin ducks.Then Jia Baoyu worshiped happily and married his wife.Aunt Xue was very dissatisfied with the Jia family when she heard the maid's report, but it was a done deal, and she could not lose her temper even if she was angry. Then he can be as majestic as Jia's mother.

But Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded when he lifted the bride's hijab in the new house, "Sister Bao? You—how could it be you?"

The next day when Lin Dai got up, she heard Ye Er come in and report that Jia Baoyu had made a big fuss in the wedding room at night, and wanted to come to the Xiaoxiang Hall to look for her, but was stopped by everyone, and now she looks like a fool, and no one responded to what he said .Lin Dai shook her head speechlessly, really puzzled. Many men in ancient times seemed to be very affectionate. For example, Su Dongpo's poems for his dead wife have been passed down through the ages, isn't it surrounded by stepwives and beautiful concubines?Maybe their emotions and bodies are separated, but she, a modern person, really can't understand.

Before the people around the courtyard had withdrawn, Lin Dai was reading in the shade of the bamboo grove, enjoying herself leisurely.In the afternoon, Xu Shi was really helpless, so the old lady sent Yuanyang to invite Lin Dai over.The old lady didn't close her eyes all night, and because of the many things before, she looked haggard. Seeing Lin Dai, she didn't look good, and said straight to the point: "I heard you said a lot to your sister-in-law that you looked down on Baoyu? You look down on him, But he is always thinking about you, keeping you far these days, he is still making trouble with the family because he wants to marry you, disturbing the rest of the house, do you have anything to say?"

Lin Dai found a chair to sit on by herself, "I don't understand what the old lady said. You insisted on taking me into the mansion at the beginning, but after my father died of illness, you didn't entrust me to the relatives of the Lin family. You often let me and Jia Baoyu be together, so what's the point of blaming me now?"

Jia Mu's face was serious, "Yu'er! I haven't seen you for a few days, how dare you disobey your elders like this?"

Lin Dai smiled and said, "Why would I disobey my elders? I just don't want to be splashed with sewage. It's his business to make trouble with Jia Baoyu. You are the elders who discipline him. What position do I have as a younger sister to take this responsibility?" ?”

Mother Jia took a deep breath, thinking that Jia Baoyu still refused to eat, so she waved her hand irritably, "Let's not talk about this, Baoyu always becomes like this because of you, go and persuade him, if I can make him all right, and it's not that I can't help you all, if you come in as a noble concubine in the future, our family will not treat you badly."

Lin Dai couldn't help sneering, "The old lady hasn't woken up yet? Your concubine? Are you worthy of your 'most beloved' daughter under Jiuquan?" She stood up and threw a booklet on the table, "This is my Lin family property list, the old lady returned all the things to me, I will leave the house immediately, and never appear in front of Jia Baoyu again, and it is none of my business whether you marry or accept whoever you want in the future."

When she reached the door, Lin Dai paused, turned her back to Mother Jia and said, "Old lady, I forgot to say that my father's best friend in Beijing said that he would come to visit me soon, so please don't do anything." Coming out will ruin the Jia family's reputation."

"Stop! Tell me clearly, what are you making friends with? Daiyu, stop!" Jia Mu got up and slammed her crutches fiercely, but Lin Dai turned a deaf ear and led her away.

The mandarin duck came up to give Jia Mu a favor, but was slapped away by Jia Mu. She pointed to the booklet left by Lin Dai and said urgently, "Bring it here and show me! How does Jia Lian do things? Why is there such a thing?" ?”

Opening the booklet and seeing the clear records inside, Mother Jia's eyes darkened. Lin Dai had a list and wanted to go back. How could it be so easy?All the money was spent on the Grand View Garden, even if all her own private treasuries were added up, it wouldn't be enough!But if you don't, who is Lin Ruhai's best friend of what Lin Dai said?Will something come up to trouble the Jia family?

The old lady had a splitting headache, she lay down on the couch and suppressed her dizziness and shouted sharply: "Go and find the second wife! The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is also strictly guarded, not even a moth can fly in!"
