The painting style of the princess in the Red Chamber is wrong

Lin Daiyu thought that she would only stay in Rongguo Mansion for a short while, but after turning over the moon, after the death of the Supreme Emperor, the civil work would naturally stop for a month.And a month later, it was midwinter again, and this year it was extremely cold, and the snow fell in a thick layer early. Lin Daiyu was not a black-hearted master, so naturally she would not let carpenters and stonemasons work in such severe cold weather.She asked people to settle the previous wages early, and allowed the carpenters and stonemasons to spend a good New Year at home and return to work when the weather improved.

The carpenters and stonemasons are naturally grateful to Dade, and they will work harder in the future. After the spring, they work in full swing, more meticulous than before, which is another story.

Speaking of which, Lin Daiyu thought it would be good to stay in Jia's mansion for a month or two.But the national mourning and severe winter kept the workers on hold for more than two months, so she naturally had to stay for another two or three months.

Jia's mansion is naturally very kind, and even hoped that Lin Daiyu would be able to live like this before the Lin family came to Beijing.

Lin Daiyu was originally very resistant to Jia's mansion, but after staying in Jia's mansion for such a period of time, she felt pretty good about it.

Rongguo Mansion (Although the sign of Guogong Mansion has gone, but for the sake of convenience, let’s call it that for now) under the management of Qin Keqing, the servants are in good order.Although the bad habits of the big family still exist here, but what is Lin Daiyu's identity?It was accompanied by the princess, and the master was very polite to him.The servants of the Rongguo Mansion have always praised the high and trampled the low, so why don't they offer Lin Daiyu to heaven?Who dares to be disrespectful to Lin Daiyu?Who dares to speak ill of Lin Daiyu behind her back?

Regardless of whether it was in front of or behind, people in the Rongguo Mansion mentioned Lin Daiyu, saying that she was a beautiful fairy-like person, worthy of being the companion of the princess.He also said that those who are taught by the royal family have great rules and regulations, which are a little different from ordinary people.The two nuns stood side by side, their legs seemed a little weak.Not to mention the few servants who are skilled in martial arts and equipped with swords personally sent by the princess.

The old man in Jia's mansion said that only when the old man was young and led soldiers, did he have soldiers with knives by his side.Later the old Duke went, although the badge of the Duke's Mansion had not been taken off, but with Jia She's title of first-class general, naturally he could no longer have the guards' guards by his side in a grandiose way.

In fact, Lin Daiyu does not have this honor, but this family is actually the princess's person, and now they are sent to protect Lin Daiyu's safety, so naturally there is nothing beyond the rules.

Jia Baoyu was detained by Jia Zheng to study every day, so he had no time to come to Rongguo Mansion.Although Jia Baoyu sat with Jia Zheng once in a few months, he didn't even dare to take a breath, so naturally he couldn't talk intimately with his favorite sisters.

And with Daiyu here, at the suggestion of Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, all the daughters of the Jia family were called to Rongguo Mansion to play with Daiyu.

And these women are all excellent. The concubine of the first room, Yingchun, is reticent and good at playing chess. Although she was a little cowardly before, she became more cheerful under Qin Keqing's teaching. Qin Keqing said that she had her own hills and valleys in her heart; The female Tanchun is good at calligraphy, and she is capable and intelligent. Wang Xifeng laughed that she has the demeanor of her youth, a rose that everyone loves but has many thorns; Wang Xifeng's aunt, who usually stays with Jia Mu for a long time, has the most normal attitude towards Lin Daiyu. No one else is obviously flattering or awed, so Lin Daiyu takes a high look.

Lin Daiyu feels quite at ease when interacting with these daughters.After going back and forth, the few people became acquainted with each other a lot, and the restraint before was gone.

Although Lin Daiyu has a lot of homework on weekdays, with her talents, she still has time to play for most of the day.The daughter and daughter-in-law of the Jia family formed a Begonia Poetry Club, and they competed in poetry every few days, which was not interesting.

.................................

After one month, people in Jia's mansion can finally eat meat and drink.They removed the syllium that filled the house, and replaced it with artificially tied silk flowers and other decorative branches. From a distance, it really looks like a brocade of flowers.

Lin Daiyu was amazed in her heart, but not because of the magnificent view of the garden.She followed the princess, the emperor and the emperor's doting on the princess, what extravagant things haven't you seen?In order to make the princess feel at ease, it is not uncommon for the bare branches to be tied with lifelike leaves and flowers made of silk.

It's just that Lin Daiyu has long helped the princess manage her income and expenditure as a training in housekeeping.So Lin Daiyu knew how much it cost.Based on what she saw and heard while staying in this mansion, she estimated the income and expenditure of Jia's mansion. If Jia's mansion is so extravagant, maybe it's not enough to make ends meet?

Lin Daiyu knew Qin Keqing's ability, and felt that Qin Keqing's housekeeping skills would not be ignorant of this matter.Although it was only her grandfather's family, Lin Daiyu was close to Qin Keqing anyway, so she mentioned a few words to Qin Keqing.

Qin Keqing smiled wryly and said: "Why didn't I know about this? But no one in the whole family can rest easy. This old lady wants to see the silk flowers all over the tree, can I not do it? You don't know, the second room's previous When my uncle was around, the cost was huge. Don’t say that the many girls around him were twice as much as others, just talk about his food and clothing expenses. I heard from the nuns around me that compared to them The royal relatives are not bad."

Qin Keqing sighed again: "Now that the big house and the second house are divided, I can manage the middle donation anyway, use the money from the public office, and add the income from the shop in the dowry, which can barely make up for it. In fact, I only pay for the expenses of the first house. Now It's already much better. It's just that the old lady likes to be lively, so she made it a little extravagant. After all, the old man can't be allowed to suffer along with him. The old man has come all the way from the most prosperous period of the Duke's Mansion, and he has long been used to the Jia Mansion. Prosperous."

"Speaking of which, father-in-law and mother-in-law save money." Qin Keqing paused, then laughed, "My mother-in-law never likes to spend money, and I saved up all the money I gave her, but I bought her more hairpin and ring jewelry instead. Father-in-law I like antiques, and I have a good eye, not only do I not spend much money, but I also earn a lot."

It's a bit too much to spend money on a girl for my father-in-law.But fortunately, my father-in-law loves the new and dislikes the old. Qin Keqing gave him money to buy a new one, and urged him to marry the one he dislikes far away. Not only did he save the cost of raising him in the future, but he also earned a sum of money as a gift.

Jia Amnesty was originally a playful and ruthless seed, and the girls who were infected almost never gave their titles.These girls can still be married by Qin Keqing if they lose their lives, and Qin Keqing basically chooses honest candidates. As long as the girls don't have unrealistic delusions of climbing high branches in their hearts, they are all grateful to Qin Keqing.And Qin Keqing's reputation in the mansion is very good, and in the hearts of the girls who serve around Jia She, she is a living bodhisattva who saves suffering.

If the maids in other mansions were rejected, they would probably be sold to other people's homes directly, or they would be kicked out directly. How could they find an honest next home?

Of course, Qin Keqing would not tell Lin Daiyu about these things.

Lin Daiyu was just a little bit at first, seeing that Qin Keqing knew what was going on, she naturally wouldn't meddle in other things.Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "It's good that you have the count, anyway, I won't be short of this one, I don't care."

Qin Keqing scolded with a smile: "You don't even spend money from the mansion for food and clothing. I don't think I can do without you. How about I tell the princess so that she can lose you?"

"The princess is reluctant." Lin Daiyu also laughed.

..................................

Golden autumn and October are the season for eating crabs, and there is always a crab feast in Jia's mansion.It's just that the crabs were launched late this time, and they happened to encounter a national funeral when they came up. Naturally, they didn't eat crabs when they were supposed to eat them.But in this season, although the crabs are not as plump as before, the winter crabs still have their heads.

The people in Jia's mansion are not very fond of this kind of food, but they eat it once a year, and they almost owe it to them this year.This country has passed mourning, so it is natural to want to come again.

Although the crabs are a bit more expensive, fortunately, Jia's Zhuangzi produced them, and it doesn't cost much, but makes less money. After all, Qin Keqing can afford it, so she doesn't have to find any excuses Cancel this crab feast.

There are no chrysanthemums this month, so naturally I can't eat crabs and enjoy chrysanthemums.But the plum blossoms are already in bloom, especially the wintersweet, standing on the branches one by one, as if carved with a good topaz, with a delicate fragrance.It's also good to eat crabs and admire plum blossoms.

While eating crabs, Qin Keqing asked someone to build a big shed outside, and the men and girls sat in the inner and outer courtyards, with several charcoal pots around them, and curtains to keep out the wind.You can see the winter plums outside without feeling cold.

When eating crabs, as soon as the eight pieces of crabs came up, some girls sighed and laughed, saying that the eight pieces of crabs were very twisted, and they only used scissors and spoons to make them.

Lin Daiyu is proficient in using it, because the princess likes to enjoy it. Although the crab is cold in nature, she always eats it several times when it is in season.Although the princess said that she was served while eating, she liked to watch her in trouble.After eating it a few times, Lin Daiyu became proficient.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's proficiency and elegant manner, the girls covered their mouths and laughed, Lin Daiyu ate a crab with teeth and claws, and she ate so quietly, she really learned the rules and etiquette to her bones.

Lin Daiyu just pursed her lips and smiled.The nanny behind her had a toothache.

rule?etiquette?what is that?Can I eat it?

Is there such a well-behaved person who, greedy for coolness in hot weather, flies up to a tall tree with ease, sleeps in a hammock on the branch, and scares the people below so that they dare not blink their eyes?

They all learned from the princess!

Not to mention that this meal of crabs in Jia's mansion ate up the chewing heads of ordinary people for a year. At this banquet, a strange person came.

Grandma Liu brought her grandson to Beijing when it was snowing heavily, and begged for some silver from Wang Xifeng for the winter.It just so happened that Mother Jia brought Qin Keqing and some granddaughters to visit Ningguo Mansion at that time, so she kindly offered to help.The girls of Jia's mansion also collected some pieces, some one or two hundred taels of silver.

Grandma Liu hits the autumn wind once, not to mention a good winter, new houses are built, and she can hire people to help take care of the fields, so that she won't be in a hurry in the spring.

This 200 taels of silver may only be the amount of a meal in Jia's house, and it would be quite a fortune if it was given to Grandma Liu.Grandma Liu said at the time that she had never seen so much money in her life.

And Grandma Liu is not someone who forgets her kindness after hitting the autumn wind.This year, the harvest at home is good, so she packed a car full of souvenirs at home, and came to thank her.

Because Mother Jia said that she could come to Rongguo Mansion directly, and she heard that Wang Xifeng, the steward of the East Mansion, was also a guest at Rongguo Mansion, so she sent the coachman to Rongguo Mansion directly.

It happened that I was a bit tired of eating crabs, so the chefs paired them with crabs and made a rare and authentic meal from the melons and fruits brought by Grandma Liu. This refreshing dish is fun to eat.

You must know that what they eat on weekdays is carefully crafted, and a vegetable needs more than a dozen to accompany the dish.This has been eaten for a long time, and it is a bit greasy.The first time I tasted this fresh food, I felt that it was delicious.

Mother Jia was also happy eating, so she asked Qin Keqing to buy more things from Grandma Liu in the future.

Qin Keqing has long known how stealthy and tricky the servants are when it comes to purchasing.Grandma Liu is simple and grateful, and she is acquainted. The price was agreed in front of her and Jia Mu. The servants can only buy it at the agreed price with money. They can’t do it fakely. At most, they can only say that it was damaged on the road. Just a few.Thinking of it this way, it was another way to save money, so I was busy.He also said that if Grandma Liu's house is not enough, she can take the line to buy some from the folks.Anyway, Jia's mansion has something to do, but it's just something new to eat.

Grandma Liu is naturally very grateful.This is much more expensive than the autumn wind. If this continues, even if she gets old and Ban'er lives alone, as long as Jia's house does not collapse, he will have a long-term livelihood.Not to mention that it also benefits the folks.

And Qin Keqing's little daughter who is so charming and beloved has always been sick for some reason.Grandma Liu said with a smile that the child is so lucky that he can't hold it back, and it will be fine to have a cheap name for a while.Mother Jia laughed and asked Grandma Liu to choose one, and Grandma Liu named Qin Keqing's youngest daughter Qiaoer.

Qin Keqing also liked this name very much, and later the name of the most beloved young lady in the big house was Qiaoer.

It's just that Grandma Liu doesn't know how to eat such precious things as crabs, and she doesn't know any of the eight crabs. In the end, she took scissors and spoons and ate them in a wicked way, and was teased by the ladies for a long time.

Grandma Liu simply broke the jar and devoted herself to being a joker for others. She amused all the wives and ladies and earned a lot of rewards.Grandma Liu is also flattered.This time I earned more money than last time.

Jia Baoyu felt itchy when he heard the bursts of laughter coming from the inner courtyard not far away, but he didn't dare to do anything wrong when he saw Jia Zheng's black face next to him.He looked around, only to see a few places away, the young master who was chatting and joking with Jia Lian looked handsome, his face turned red before he spoke, and his heart was itchy.

Jia Baoyu treats beauty, whether it is male or female, he can put down his airs and lose face.He immediately went to Jia Lian's side, and after talking to Jia Lian a few words, he began to chat with the young master in a familiar way.

The son's original surname was Qin, and his courtesy name was Jingqing. He was Qin Keqing's younger brother, that is, Jia Lian's brother-in-law.Seeing Jia Baoyu approaching, Jia Lian couldn't help laughing secretly.

Having been in the same household for so many years, Jia Lian certainly knew about Jia Baoyu's problem.He said that he was lustful, and he felt that Jia Baoyu didn't need to give way.

Of course, Jia Baoyu appreciates it in his heart, and most of the time he will not have a lustful heart.It's like seeing a beautiful flower, and you don't think about picking it.He is naturally a more decent person than Jia Lian.It's just that in Jia Lian's view, Jia Baoyu's behavior of only watching and not eating is nothing more than a lack of energy.

Maybe those Yingying and Yanyan around him have already entered the room, but they just didn't make any noise.This is Jia Lian's way of saving others by himself.

But Jia Baoyu fell in love with his brother-in-law, and Jia Lian didn't plan to take care of it.It's not that he looks good at Qin Jingqing at night, and he has something on his own mind.He and Qin Keqing have a good relationship. Although he doesn't reject men, there are many women around him. Qin Keqing is not jealous. He will not consider men when he has beautiful women in his arms.

He just knew that this brother-in-law was not easy to mess with.

Don't look at Qin Jingqing's delicate features, pink face and red lips, handsome figure, romantic demeanor, well-raised by his mother, he doesn't have the powdery look of Jia Baoyu, but he is a good boy with both civil and military skills.

Jia Lian is not this kind of person, but it doesn't mean he doesn't admire this kind of person.So he really made friends with Qin Jingqing.Jia Lian is very optimistic about Qin Jingqing, seeing that Qin Jingqing has been admitted as a scholar, he thinks that with more training, it is possible to be a Jinshi, let alone a scholar?It is rare for him to make further progress in the officialdom, but Qin Jingqing looks like a wit.

Now that Jia Lian has sons and daughters, he thinks more about them.He is now close to his original mother's family, and now his mother's family is gradually rising again after the new emperor ascends the throne, so he naturally leans towards the new emperor's side, and will also count on his mother's family to help his son in the future.

Jia Lian failed to study, but he is also the father who hopes his son will become a dragon. He hopes that his son will be admitted to the imperial examinations and honor his ancestors.

You must know that when the second room Jia Zhu was not dead, he was so suppressed that he couldn't lift his head. There were also rumors that the emperor might even give the title to Jia Zhu, who was admitted to the imperial examination, which shocked Jia Lian a lot.Jia Zhu died, but Jia Lian still remembered the short-term aggrieved and unwilling.

So he wanted his son to also take the imperial examination, and it is conceivable that he will glorify his ancestors.

It's just that the mother's house is far away because of her mother's death, and Jia Lian is still a little nervous.And my brother-in-law is actually able to read, so Jia Lian naturally got close to him.I heard that my wife and my brother-in-law have a very good relationship. After my brother-in-law becomes an official, he will definitely take care of his family.

Jia Lian thought complacently that he had a good vision and made long-term investments.

After losing, Qin Jingqing was naturally taken by Jia Lian, and went to meet some worthy people among the nobles—don't look at Jia Lian's bastard, he made friends with good ones, and not all of the nobles bad.Even if they don't have a deep friendship, but for the sake of their ancestors, they often eat, drink and play together.

The speed at which Qin Jingqing broke into the group of people who appeared to be kind but were actually extremely arrogant left Jia Lian dumbfounded.

Later, Feng Ziying, who was actually the most arrogant in her heart, said with a smile, don't look at Jingqing, who looked weak and weak, got on the horseback and went to the school grounds. None of them who were born as generals were able to fight, and they all accepted it. .Not to mention that Jingqing still has fame and fame, so she must have a good future in the future.

A strange sense of pride rose in Jia Lian's heart.You must know that he is the least useful among this group of people except for being sociable.The people he brought with him had never received a word of appreciation from those powerful young masters.

However, Jia Lian also felt that this little brother-in-law was really not easy to mess with, and his confidence in him becoming a high-ranking official in the future became more and more full.

After Jia Lian talked to Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing said a little proudly: "Jing Qing was carefully taught by his father and mother since he was a child, and because of his frail body, he found a master to teach martial arts since he was a child. The master said that although Jing Qing is said to be a champion in martial arts, I did some research. It's still easy to get martial arts. It's just that my father is devoted to literature and thinks that taking martial arts is a matter of physical fitness, or good health. There is no need to study hard, and he should focus on studying."

You know, the master who taught martial arts was the princess who was begged by the mother. Of course, it is not comparable to ordinary people.Qin Keqing felt that it would be good to learn some martial arts, so that those people would not be able to walk and talk nonsense when they saw Jing Qing.Seeing Jing Qing's fist and kick skills, most people dare not speak.

Jia Lian understood now, and this brother-in-law looked easy to bully, but in fact he had more than thorns, he was covered with swords, and he was still stuffed with sesame seeds, which was very dark.I went out with him a few times, and saw that he had tricked others a lot, and those people still called my brother-in-law brothers and sisters indifferently.

It's amazing, admirable, worthy of his study.

Now seeing Jia Baoyu leaning forward, obviously aiming at his brother-in-law's beauty, Jia Lian gloated in his heart.You must know that this is what my brother-in-law hates the most, and Jia Baoyu will fall this time.But since Jia Baoyu just appreciates it and has no evil intentions, I guess my brother-in-law won't be too angry, right?

Anyway, Jia Baoyu was unlucky, so Jia Lian was happy.He didn't like anyone of the same generation as the second room of the Jia family, and both of them were on his head. Jia Zhu said that he could read books, which he couldn't compare to.But why Jia Baoyu?He was born with a treasure jade that was said to be psychic, and it almost became a disaster for the family, tsk tsk.

Qin Jingqing was naturally not very happy.But for the sake of Jia Baoyu's lack of evil intentions, he endured it.Just listening to what Jia Baoyu said inside and outside is how refined his appearance is, which is really tolerable.Qin Jingqing thought about it for a while, then walked to Jia Zheng's side, and began to ask about teaching.

Although Jia Zheng said that he was not good at making a fuss, his basic skills are still very solid.Talk to this kind of people who have failed repeatedly, and Qin Jingqing can also see his own shortcomings.

Jia Zheng has always liked scholars, especially those who can be admitted to fame.Hearing that Qin Jingqing was a scholar at such a young age, he was naturally very happy and had a good chat.

Jia Baoyu listened in a daze, feeling disdainful in his heart, he couldn't help sighing a few words that such a beautiful person is actually a sour scholar.What fame is nothing but the mediocrity of the country.

Jia Baoyu's words were not loud, but Jia Zheng happened to hear them, and Jia Zheng's face turned dark immediately.Doesn't Jia Baoyu mean that he is also mediocre?

Jia Zheng had a bad temper, so he took Jia Baoyu and left early on the pretext of feeling uncomfortable after eating too many crabs.

Qin Jingqing leisurely sat back in her seat.

Jia Lian leaned over and whispered, "Baoyu will definitely be beaten by his father again this time, right?"

Qin Jingqing said calmly, "Be careful with your words."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Yes, be careful with your words, haha, be careful with your words."

Qin Jingqing gave Jia Lian a blank look, and ignored this layman who put all his gloating on his face.
