Transmigrating into various wonderful roles

Chapter 24 The Dream of Red Mansions 7

After a few steps, Cao Xiaoying followed Zhou Rui's house all the way to the back alley, opened the door and entered Zhou's courtyard.As soon as he entered the house, he met Zhou Rui who was about to go out to collect the land rent. He only said hello and went out. The clever little girl hurriedly greeted him and handed him a warm and damp handkerchief.Cao Xiaoying sat down next to Zhou Rui's family, and wiped her hands like her. Zhou Rui's family taught Cao Xiaoying while wiping: "Grandma didn't mean you, how could you come forward to ask questions like that? It's Grandma Feng who doesn't care about it, if she changes to someone with a small heart, she will get into trouble, and I won't have to embarrass myself."

"Sister-in-law Zhou, I just want to add another word. How can a fairy figure like Miss Feng, who is so handsome and handsome, know as much as an old lady from the countryside like me? Sister-in-law Zhou, feel free. Besides, there is nothing wrong with me." Miss Feng is not an ignorant person, sister-in-law Zhou still doesn't know, by the way, I just saw Brother Zhou go out in a hurry, is there something urgent?" Seeing Zhou Rui, Cao Xiaoying suddenly remembered that he was really quite a As a powerful housekeeper, although he only takes care of the spring and autumn rent in name, and takes the young masters out in his free time, in fact, he secretly pays and collects the money for Sister Feng and others.

Grandma Liu's family has a close relationship with him. When Zhou Rui competed to buy the land in the past, he was helped by Grandma Liu's son-in-law, Gouer. Therefore, Cao Xiaoying came to Zhou Rui's house last time to find out, and got his wife's help to introduce him to Jia's house. .Since he is in charge of those shady activities, he must be very clear about the things involved, and must know some secrets. Sister Kuang Feng's high profits have killed many people, so there must be clues to the matter.As long as Lin Ruhai is willing to listen to her words and send someone to investigate, he is so good that he is also a member of the imperial court, and it is more convenient for him to do things if he wants to do things than her old lady.

"Forget it, you are not the kind of person who can't figure it out. You must have a steelyard in your heart, but this time you are always pecked by Yan! Don't even call him uncle, Jia Rui's family is very poor. Jingle, it might not be as good as yours! His grandfather, Jia Dairu, is just the old man’s concubine brother, and he has not been able to enter a school until he is old. But seeing his family’s poverty, he can barely be a teacher in the free school of Jia’s mansion. You and It's a miscalculation for him to seek a relationship." Zhou Rui's family thought they saw Cao Xiaoying's purpose, and scolded Jia Rui's family severely, with a gloating expression on their faces, as if this could relieve her of her worries.

Cao Xiaoying can understand her mentality very well. She doesn't feel comfortable and doesn't want to make others comfortable. It's just that, probably because of her petty thinking, Cao Xiaoying doesn't intend to bother with her: "Look at Mrs. Zhou's In other words, I just asked one more question out of curiosity, how could I think of these. Besides, the rotten boat still has three catties of nails, and his family is in a state of desperation, and it is not comparable to people like us, let alone this belly. With knowledge, as long as you win the gold list in the future, your future will not be bright. By the way, I heard that the aunt of the Jia family who married to Yangzhou is gone, is it true?"

"It's all old calendars that have passed away in the first few years. She has a daughter named Lin Daiyu who sent her here early and is now living in Jia's house. There is no choice for her appearance. , It’s just that she’s a little weaker, with serious and minor illnesses every three days, and she eats the medicine juice as a meal! There are not many people in the house who like her, but she is just an orphan girl with no money and no power. It's so weird, she just cried when she had nothing to say, and she thought someone bullied her!"

Zhou Rui's family seemed to have found an outlet to vent their anger, and complained fiercely, leaving Cao Xiaoying wondering whether she would have the function of a tree hole again.However, the servants of the Jia family seem to have high self-esteem, most of them look down on Sister Lin, and don't think about it, she is the daughter of the official family, and her father still holds a position of real power, and the family is also a lord of the family, but there are not many children. It's all about keeping a low profile, if you want to imitate the Jia family's publicity, wouldn't you be looking for a dead end?

"Yo! This is not the niece of the old lady. How could she let her do this? It would damage the reputation of the mansion if it spread outside. What's more, his father is still there. Although he is far away, it has spread to his ears. There is no way to explain it to him!" Cao Xiaoying hoped to pass it on, but the distance between the capital and Yangzhou is too far, no matter how estimated it would be impossible to pass it on.Otherwise, how could Lin Ruhai in the book see her daughter suffering, and she would have taken her home long ago. Could it be that she stayed here as a doormat?One must know that for the sake of sister Lin not being wronged, he was not even willing to adopt a male from a clan.

Zhou Rui's family glanced at Cao Xiaoying, as if they didn't think so, and felt that Cao Xiaoying was alarmist: "Grandma doesn't know something, it's just people passing it on in private, how could she go outside and talk nonsense. Besides, Yangzhou is so far away from here, no matter how It won’t go there, grandma don’t have to worry.” Who’s worried for you, she’s worried for Sister Lin, but that’s all, you’re still motivated, just listen to it.This younger sister Lin thinks that she is dependent on others, and she is anxious and restless all day long. Although Lin Ruhai originally intended to send her to be raised, she might as well be by his side now!

It's just that in ancient times, there must be female elders in the family to teach housework, otherwise the man will always criticize the woman's tutor in the future.In Lin Ruhai's opinion, the old matriarch of Jia's mansion is the best candidate for teaching. Since he no longer intends to renew his family, and there is no elder in his family, of course he can only reluctantly send sister Lin to Jia's mansion. What he did is not good For the sake of sister Lin's future, for a big man who doesn't understand internal affairs, it is considered well-intentioned.

Cao Xiaoying thought of the old lady Jia, and couldn't help but look down on her. She said that she loved Jia Min the most, and wanted to be raised by Sister Lin, but in fact, it wasn't Jia Baoyu who loved her the most. She wanted to take everything she thought was good. For her, what is a granddaughter? But Miss Lin's family didn't bring someone here, no matter what, I can't help you, sister-in-law, why does sister-in-law miss her so much?"

Cao Xiaoying still didn't understand that Lin's family was considered rich, how could Lin Daiyu feel so inferior in Jia's family, she didn't have the aura of an official lady at all.By the way, it seems that when Jia Min was alive, she instilled in her the abilities of the Jia family all day long, which made her have these illusions, be careful and always pay attention to everything, for fear of making a wrong step.Originally, this person's heart is biased, and it is not a big mistake for Jia Min to turn to her natal family, but she can open her eyes and talk nonsense like this, which really makes Cao Xiaoying admire her face, and she probably has a lot of selfishness.

"Where are there so many maids and servants in her house? They just come to eat for free. Fortunately, the old lady is happy with her. Otherwise, her life would be difficult. In this way, she often loses her temper and shouts at the servants." I really don't feel ashamed." Zhou Rui's family covered the corners of their mouths, and wantonly criticized Sister Lin, these words are too harsh, you really think Jia's family is a kind hall!How could she accept Lin Daiyu without some sweetness? It could be said that Lin Ruhai made up a lot behind her back.But after all, this man is not as careful as a woman. If more people are sent here, it would be good to have a strong momentum.

Cao Xiaoying kept no show on her face, with a smile on her face, and she also said flattering words: "Sister-in-law Zhou needs to get angry with a little girl, but it's not worth getting angry. With sister-in-law Zhou's status in the mansion, You don't need to be angry with her. You're right, sister-in-law Zhou hasn't told me why brother Zhou left the house. I originally wanted to have a party with him and talk about the current situation at home, but now it seems that it won't be possible. what a pity."

"Brother Zhou went out to help Miss Feng collect interest money. This is a profitable business. It's less than a thousand dollars a year. Our master ran errands to make peace and helped collect and release the money. Let me tell you. What are you doing, because you, Grandma Liu, are reliable, so I said I leaked it, but I didn’t mention it to anyone else, so grandma must keep this secret!” Zhou Rui’s family smiled very complacently, and then seemed to react and say no What should be said, he hurriedly shut up and tried to make amends.

I still trust her as a person, but because I was proud of showing off, I accidentally slipped my mouth, and no matter who received the job that earned so much money, I couldn't say it in my heart, maybe it would be a torment!Forget it, she will treat her as a tree hole today, and by the way, she can get a little bit of news, so it is not in vain for her to come here.
