A close look at the Red House

daily affairs

In the morning of Li Ri, it was rare for Daiyu to get up without being urged three times and four times by others.Sitting at the floor-to-ceiling round table in Dongnuange, eating a delicious breakfast.

After dinner, a second-class girl came in to answer.It was said in Jiamu's courtyard that there is no need to go to say hello today, and let the girls go by themselves.

Daiyu knew that this was caused by the attack last night.The old lady must have not slept well yesterday, and she is not feeling well today.Daiyu thought for a while, it would be better if she didn't go to pay her respects, otherwise the old lady and Mrs. Wang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, would not be swept into the tail of the typhoon during the battle.

Sitting on the couch, Daiyu thought of Baoyu's eleven or twelve-year-old body.Think about Hua Xiren's height again.I couldn't help but want to laugh.Originally, boys at this age grow slower than girls of the same age, and if they are a few years younger, the height gap will be even greater.Just think of Baoyu's unbearable look every time Hua Xiren wants to have a little bird to cling to, makes me want to laugh.Coupled with Baoyu's motherly nature, don't expect Baoyu to have a little birdie with the flowers.Thinking about it again, Hua Xiren put his arm around Baoyu's waist and lifted Baoyu's small chin with the other, saying, "Second Lord, give me a smile."That scene is to be as ridiculous as possible.The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt.No, this is the rhythm of 囧.

Seeing Daiyu lying crookedly on the couch alone, she couldn't help laughing.Zijuan and the others looked at Daiyu like this, with countless question marks flying around in their heads.But what made their girls laugh like this.

The days of spring were long, and Daiyu read a book in the room for a while, but felt that it was not interesting.So I decided to find my mother to learn embroidery.When the nuns heard that Daiyu wanted to learn embroidery, they all persuaded Daiyu to go for a walk with bitter faces.

Daiyu had no choice but to go to Yingchun with someone holding the cat.Then I went to Yingchun, Yingchun was not in the room, the girl who watched the room said that the girls had all gone to the lounge.Daiyu couldn't figure it out, and she didn't even let her go to pay her respects. Why did those sisters dare to go to Jia Mu's upper room? You know, the leisure room is in the wing room next to Jia Mu's upper room.She couldn't figure it out, and Daiyu didn't want to either.He took people to the leisure room again.When I arrived at the leisure room, I found that everyone was there except Erbao.After asking, everyone didn't go to Jiamu's room to say hello.Daiyu also sat down with peace of mind.Holding the cat and Xichun watching Yingchun and Xiangyun play Go together.

For a while, there was no other sound in the room except the sound of falling paper and the sound of the brush falling on the rice paper.Daiyu looked up and remembered the word "time is quiet" in the book.Thinking maybe this is the case at this time.

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

Daiyu just expressed the few cultural sentiments in her heart.Seeing Zhou Rui's family come in this week, breaking the tranquility of this room.

As soon as Zhou Rui's family came in, he said with a smile: "Greetings to the girls, my aunt asked me to bring flowers."

The sisters raised their heads at the same time.Looking at Zhou Rui's house, he didn't say anything.It was Tan Chun who came over, looked at Zhou Rui's family, and said, "Where did Sister Zhou call and what did you get?"

Zhou Rui's family replied: "Back to the third girl, the old slave came from the Lixiangyuan. My aunt got a fresh pattern made in the palace to pile gauze flowers. She said that the girls had two for each of them, and asked the old slave to bring it to the girl." After finishing speaking, he handed the flower box forward so that it would be convenient for Tanchun to check it out.Tanchun took it and looked at it on the round table.At this time, Daiyu and the others also came over. While holding a pink and purple gauze flower, Daiyu thought regretfully, because of the existence of the leisure room, even the things like sending palace flowers were given to Butterfly.

·························

Day by day, life is uneventful.Before the Ching Ming Festival in April, Daiyu returned to Jiamu, and took the Lin family to Guangren Temple outside the capital to perform a ritual ceremony for Jia Min.After the ceremony, Daiyu did not go back to Jia's mansion, but took people back to Lin's mansion in the capital.Thinking of resting for two days before going to Jia's mansion.

Every time I came here before, I stayed for a short time and didn't notice it.The Lin family's old house in the capital turned out to be government houses on the left and right sides.Only after listening to Lin's second housekeeper did he know that the Lin family's house is located on the west side of the imperial city, and the people living here are all noble families of Hanlin and censors.The Jia family, which is not too far from here, has been squeezed into the eastern part of the imperial city.The eastern district is home to first-class dignitaries and dignitaries, while the northern district is where some merchants and shops are concentrated.80.00% of the civilians in the capital live in the southern district.Based on this calculation, the Xue family's house in the capital is probably in the North District.

Thinking of Xue's family, for so many days in Beijing, they lived in Jia's house under the guise of building a house and drafting a talent show every day.It's been almost two years since he lived in Jia's house, and Xiu didn't see Xuan, and the house wasn't even repaired.Said it was a talent show, why didn't I see a nanny in the palace to teach the rules.I know that I follow Sanchun every day to pretend to be everyone's ladies.Minghuanghuang just went there with that piece of broken jade, as if everyone was blind.

After staying for a few days, Mother Jia sent someone to pick her up.It's from Lin Zhixiao's family.Daiyu was happy when she saw it.He called Lin Zhixiao's family to the flower hall, and asked if there was any interesting news in Jia's mansion these days.

Lin Zhixiao's family entered the flower hall.First greet Daiyu who is sitting on the couch.He also said that Jia Mu asked him to pick him up.I asked Daiyu when she left for Jia's mansion.At Daiyu's request, he talked about the recent affairs of Jia's mansion.

"Last one, the Ning Mansion invited Second Grandma Lian to sit there. After Second Grandma Lian returned to the old lady, she led Second Master Bao there. She didn't return to the mansion until evening."

"Second Master Bao met Xiao Qin Xianggong, the younger brother of Grandma Xiaorong in Ningfu. The old lady made the decision to let Xianggong Xiao Qin study with Second Master Bao."

Lin Zhixiao's family said some miscellaneous and trivial things.Daiyu is not very interested in these things.Listen to a dozen of them.

"Before I left the mansion, I heard that Miss Bao was ill. I had an old illness. The second master Bao even sent someone over to greet her. The little girl who heard the rumor said that the second master Bao is going to see Miss Bao tomorrow."

When Daiyu heard this, she sat up.I wondered if this was the first time Jia Baoyu met Jinsuo.When I think of this, it feels like grass grows in my heart.Can't miss the live version.Daiyu couldn't sit still any longer, so she kept urging everyone to pack up and go to Jia's mansion.

Daiyu remembered the time when Baoyu looked at the golden lock, it seemed that Baochai had unbuttoned her clothes in front of Baoyu.In modern times, this kind of behavior can be regarded as bold.In ancient times, that would have been a bit outrageous.And the golden lock needs jade to match it, it's too brave.If there are jades in other people's treasures, you have golden locks to match them.With a good match or something.Daiyu felt that this matter must be spoofed.

Thinking of this, Daiyu sat down again.Said to Lin Zhixiao's family, "Today, you go back first. Tomorrow morning, I will go back to that mansion. No one will come to pick you up. When you go back, tell your grandmother that I invited Miss Li Hanlin's family to sit at home today. I can't go back today. I'll go back tomorrow morning." After saying that, Daiyu let Lin Zhixiao's family leave.

Lin Zhixiao's family took the Jia family away on the front foot, and Daiyu called Lin's second housekeeper over on the back foot.

"Second Housekeeper Lin, go quietly to the gold shop and jewelry shop outside, and buy five pure gold locks." Daiyu thought for a while, and then said, "Buy five collars with gold locks, and then buy five more gold locks." Two pairs of gold bracelets, forget it, buy six pairs of gold lock collars, and if time comes, I will engrave a few words on five of them."After whispering those words to the second butler Lin, he asked him to go out and buy them.

Daiyu thought, and gave each of the five big girls including Zijuan a pair of golden locks, and asked them all to wear them when they returned to Jia's mansion tomorrow.It is also said that it is the method given by monks and Taoists.Let the close girl wear it for the lady to pray for blessings.Let's just say that this thing was very popular in the south two years ago.Most people will buy golden locks for girls.People who are close to it also wear silver locks.I have been wearing it in the south before.Because of the cold weather in the north, the maids didn't let them wear them when they came back. They all took them off and waited for the warmer tomorrow before putting them on again.

Two pairs of bracelets are for the two nuns.There are six pairs of golden locks, the fifth pair is for Zijuan and the other five, and the other pair is for the youngest daughter of the second steward Lin.The little girl is only four or five years old, and she looks very cute.Now that the four snows have been given, then the hard-core loyal servants like the second housekeeper Lin, Nanny Li, and Nanny Zhao have to give it all the more.You must be generous to your own people.To the enemy,..., huh, huh!

The reason why Daiyu didn't go back to Jia's mansion until tomorrow was because she wanted to buy the golden lock, an important item, and another reason was that she was afraid that the news would leak out, so she wouldn't be able to see a good show.

Before dinner, Housekeeper Lin Er came back with something.Because the second steward Lin spent too much money, words were engraved on the golden lock.Divide things up, everyone is very happy.Seeing that everyone was happy, Daiyu felt happy, and gave another reward to the Lin family.Another person in his own courtyard sent an extra copy.The second and third class girls each have a piece of cloth.Rough so that the nuns each have a ruler.Butler Lin Er and the two nuns each filled a purse with 20 taels of silver.

Speechless all night.After breakfast the next day, Daiyu took the people back to Jia's mansion.
