A close look at the Red House

After the Mid-Autumn Festival feast and after the Double Ninth Festival, the Lin family took Daiyu back to Yangzhou in mid-October this year just like last year.

After spending a warm New Year's Eve with his father Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou, he dealt with some internal affairs of the Lin family again.After my birthday in February, I left for Jia's house.

In a few years, Daiyu first asked the second housekeeper Lin to copy all the books collected by the Lin family in Suzhou, Yangzhou and the capital house for five times, and then kept two of them in Suzhou and Yangzhou. Together with the original version, they were shipped to the capital and put away in portions.Later, he asked the second housekeeper Lin to clean up the old house of the Lin family in the capital, and built a two-story bookstore in the house.After the old house was tidied up, Daiyu went to the old house in a light car.When there is no one, the original old books are received in the space.These old books are of infinite value, but it is too difficult to preserve them.Putting it away now is better than packing it up in the future when Lin Ruhai is not around.It also saves you from any troubles when you are in a hurry.As for the remaining three handwritten books, except for two that are still in the treasury, the other is in the newly built Book Pavilion in the Lin Mansion.

For the Jia Mansion, or the fact that the ancient people were willing to name the yard and loft at home, Daiyu was not impressed.Just say that you are going to someone's house or someone's yard.What else to name it.Sometimes, when someone says the name of the yard or something.Daiyu had to react for a long time before she remembered who lived in this courtyard.Therefore, under Daiyu's request, the bookstore of the Lin family has no name, and the word "Bookstore" is written on the plaque on the door.easy to understand.The other courtyards in the Lin Mansion also had no names.

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

Because of the smooth sailing, Daiyu arrived in Jia's mansion in the middle of March this year.

On the second day after returning to Jia's mansion, You Shi and Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Ning's mansion came to post a post asking people to see the plum blossoms.In the cold spring of this year, the plum blossoms in the garden of Ningfu were still in full bloom. Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, wanted to invite Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others to visit the house to enjoy the flowers and have a good time.

Early the next morning, he brought Jia Rong's wife, Qin Keqing, to the Rong Mansion to pick her up in person.Although Mother Jia said that they were all from her own family, she was too polite.It can be seen that the two of them are very happy in their hearts.A few people accompanied Jia Mu and others to have breakfast and then went to the East Mansion, because it was only a gathering of the female family members of the Ning Rong Second Mansion, even Aunt Xue and other outsiders were considered relatives, so there was nothing too particular about it.

A group of people accompanied Jia Mu to wander in the garden and admire the plum blossoms. Afraid of being tired, she led her to a theater in the garden to sit in a theater and have tea and wine, listening to operas and playing cards.Jia's mother and others were listening to operas and playing cards in the attic with soft curtains, but the sisters couldn't sit still, so they went to Huifang Garden to enjoy plum blossoms.

In the past two years, because of the appearance of Baochai, the sisters have also been divided into different factions.Although Sanchun always lived with Jia Mu, the third girl Tanchun went further with Baochai.I don't know if it's because I really like Baochai, or because of Mrs. Wang's wishes.But Yingchun and Xichun are closer to Daiyu and Xiangyun.Among them, Yingchun and Daiyu, Xichun and Xiangyun are another team.

Now, the arena about Jia Baoyu's wife has been set up in Jia's mansion.This time, two teams participated in the competition.The situation is as follows:

Square Team: Red Team Captain: Mrs. Jia Blue Team Captain: Mrs. Wang

Challengers: Red Fang: Shi Xiangyun Blue Fang: Xue Baochai

Cheerleaders: Red Team: Daiyu, Yingchun, Xichun Blue Team: Tanchun

As a wise man, Shi Xiangyun no longer has a sisterly affection for Baochai like in the original book.Instead, they have to run on Baochai from time to time.And Xue Baochai is always going to give a lecture.Having said that, there is another thing to say.

One day after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Daiyu and the others were resting and playing in the lounge of Jiamu Courtyard.Xue Baochai also came here after her mother greeted Jia's mother.When Baochai went in, he saw Tanchun practicing calligraphy and Yingchun playing chess.Baoyu and Xiangyun were sitting on the same couch, playing with a white jade nine-link ring.And Daiyu and Xichun were sitting on the kang table under the window with scraps of fabric, discussing how to make clothes for the kitten.After meeting each other, Baochai said to Daiyu, "Sisters, what are you doing? Although our girl's family should mainly focus on needlework, we should also be diligent and thrifty. How about those little animals? It’s worthy of wasting such a good thing. Sister Lin needs to learn this rule.”When he said this, there was still disapproval on his face.

Daiyu knew that Baochai was angry because Baoyu and Xiangyun were only playing with themselves.It's just an excuse for Daiyu and Xichun.Baoyu is not what she can say, Tanchun and Yingchun are the serious masters of Jia's mansion.Don't care about whether people are favored or not, it's not something she can say as a guest.But for Daiyu who is not happy with the mistress and is also a guest, there is no need to be so polite.And Xichun was gorgeously ignored because of her young age.

Daiyu was very angry.She was not a good-natured person in the first place, and she was usually a watcher who didn't think it was a big deal, so don't expect her to calm things down this time.Don't make trouble with her this time, and think she is easy to bully next time.When she was in modern times, her mouth was stupid.Although he doesn't know how to say nice words, but how to say something ugly, he just opens his mouth.

"Miss Xue, is she preaching to me? I have been taught by the foster mother who came out of the palace gifted by the Holy Majesty since I was a child. No matter how poor my studies are, it is also the matter of the mother. It seems to have nothing to do with you. My father is in the second rank, and my grandmother is Chaopin Gaoming. As the eldest daughter of the second rank Dayuan, Chaopin Gaoming is the daughter of an official family who is raised by his side. I don't think I need a business woman to teach me the rules. .Not to mention scholars, farmers, businessmen."

Seeing Baochai's blushing face in disbelief, I went on to say, "Miss Xue, is she questioning my Lin family's tutoring, the old lady's teaching but not raising her, or is she questioning His Majesty's choice?"

Seeing Baochai speechless, I felt a burst of joy in my heart.After thinking about it, since this is already the case, let's make a fuss to the end.Let's see who has no face in the end.

"Miss Xue, your Xue family has nothing to do with my Lin family, Ning Mansion, or Rong Mansion. I usually see your age, and I am afraid that you will feel inferior because you are a business woman, so I call you 'Sister Bao' 'Yes, but you can't know your status just because of a few words from Sister Bao, right? You can always preach to us ladies of the Houfu, who are daughters of a family. What do you rely on? Is it your identity as a businesswoman? Or With your elder brother who became a murderer and then escaped? Miss Xue has this skill, you should study your Xue family's upbringing. Murderers can't be raised by any family." Daiyu said quickly.

"Why doesn't Miss Xue speak? If we don't listen to you, you will let your good brother kill us too?" Daiyu continued in an angry tone.

Before Daiyu could finish speaking, Xue Baochai ran out with her handkerchief in her hand.The people in the room were also dumbfounded, looking at Daiyu stupidly.Even Baoyu is the same.Daiyu smiled, put her hands up, and asked: "What's the matter, did I say something wrong?"

Everyone shook their heads unanimously.Still don't know what to say.Said that Daiyu was wrong, and Daiyu was not wrong. The status is not equal, so why do you discipline her?Baochai is right, the brother of the murderer is still there, so what is the problem not with tutoring?

After that, for at least half a month, Xue Baochai stayed at home to recuperate from his illness and never went out for a walk.

When Mrs. Wang heard about this, she looked at Daiyu again, her eyes were as sharp as knives.

The rest of the Jia family, including Jia's mother, didn't seem to know about it.What to do.It seems that Xue Baochai is really sick, rather than hiding at home because she is ashamed to see others.

Xue Baochai really felt ashamed.I used to think I was fine with everything.There is always a sense of superiority in front of Sanchun, Daiyu and Xiangyun.Today, in front of her master and slave, Daiyu said so.That kind of embarrassment, I thought it would be better to die immediately and never see him again.

Baochai is well aware of the habits of the servants of Jia's family, and if Daiyu says this today, he doesn't know what it will be like tomorrow.Thinking about it makes my heart suffocate.

Because of this matter, Baochai will never preach to people again.When encountering matters related to Daiyu, she can also keep her mouth shut.And Mrs. Wang is like a thorn in Daiyu's eyes, a thorn in her flesh.

And the servants of Jia's family, under the hint of Lin Zhixiao's family, hid Daiyu and only spread gossip about Baochai.

The reason why Daiyu never tolerated her temper in the Jia family was because she knew that the more you tolerated the Jia family, the more they would bully you.Now the second grade Dayuan's father is still alive and well.If Daiyu endured it now, let it go.Then on the day when Lin Ruhai is gone, he will have to endure even more.

Daiyu found that many times, many people like to whitewash the peace and pretend to be confused.Especially the Jia family, so Daiyu likes to be straightforward when doing things in the Jia family.It's easier to deal with the Jia family who want to save face and don't care about it.The Jia family also frowned at dealing with Daiyu.

The Jia family didn't understand how Daiyu grew up like this.Is it really just that Jia Min left too early and was misled by Lin Ruhai?In fact, Daiyu's behavior can be explained according to modern people: you don't understand the world of second-hand goods.The pure-blood Siberian tiger sister, even normal people can't catch up with the tiger.

Speaking of which, the reason why Daiyu dared to do this was because Daiyu asked the second housekeeper Lin to clean up the Lin Mansion in the capital, just thinking that after Lin Ruhai was gone, she would go back to the Lin Mansion to be a filial piety for Lin Ruhai.This guard lasted for three years. After three years, the Jia family still doesn't know what will happen.

Daiyu knows that in this era, a woman wants to live a good life.It needs a backer.And Daiyu also has some ideas about her future life.And this idea, perhaps for today's Daiyu, can only be regarded as a way to protect herself.But in the future, it can be said to be a groundbreaking thing.

The author has something to say:

I hate Xue Baochai's reasoning the most.

If she hadn't read the episode of The West Chamber, she would have recognized what Daiyu was talking about right away.

The idle book I read many years ago, I still remember it so clearly a few years later, who doesn't know that you miss it in my heart every day.

When Daiyu was examined, she was asked to kneel down.I don't even think about my identity.
