Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Xichun took Lin Daiyu back to her yard, Lin Daiyu looked around carefully and then smiled, "It's really like what the second sister and the others said, the fourth sister used to be diligent and loves to learn, but now she just wants to be lazy and play all day long." gone."

Xichun's room is not small, but she puts things everywhere, here is an embroidery frame, the design is only half embroidered, there is a desk, on the desk is a piece of paper that is half painted, and on the shelf is a piece of paper made by Xichun. There is a small landscape, there is a piano under the window, and there are some half-finished velvet flowers on the table.

Xichun smiled and didn't feel embarrassed, "I went to learn when I should have played when I was a child, and I should make up for it now."

In fact, it was at that time that Xichun was worried all day, looking for something to divert his attention, and thinking that he would not be overwhelmed by too many skills. Naturally, he studied hard every day, but then the days became better day by day, and Xichun slowly Relaxed.

Lin Daiyu tilted her head and teased her, "It's all nonsense!"

Xichun was upright and confident, "Corrective reasoning is also reasonable!"

Lin Daiyu laughed, "I received your letter in the past, but you are not like this in the letter."

Xichun smiled, "That's me too, it's just that everyone has many sides. You only knew one side of me before, but now you can know all of me. How about it? Are you happy?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head, and picked up the velvet flowers that Xichun had made halfway to look at, "It must have taken a lot of thought to be so delicate and realistic."

Xichun nodded, "That's right, so I didn't do it after doing a few."

Lin Daiyu: ...

Xichun said to Lin Daiyu again: "A few days ago, the second sister made a new batch of leaf bookmarks, which are very beautiful. Someday we will go to her to ask for a few copies. Let me tell you, the second sister has a lot of good things, except for this Leaf bookmarks, and..."

Lin Daiyu: ...

Xichun talked for a while but did not see Lin Daiyu answering, then turned to look at her, only to see that the other party was looking at her with a very subtle look, Xichun touched her face, "Sister Lin?"

Lin Daiyu smiled, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what to ask for when I go to my second sister next time."

Xichun's place can be regarded as a happy atmosphere, but Youshi's place is relatively silent.

Xingshi and Youshi looked at each other, feeling that fate was tricking people.

Back then, the two were in similar situations, You Shi was even better, but now it is Xing Shi who is even better.

What's even more amazing is that no matter it was then or now, the two envy each other.

Back then, the Xing family envied the You family's real housekeeping power, and the You family envied the Xing family's at least having contacts with Jia She.

Now Mrs. Xing is envious of Mrs. You, who cares about everything and takes good care of her family. She has done enough to save face when she goes out.

At that time, the two of them could chat a few words, but now they don't know what to say at all. It was the third sister You who talked about Xichun, and the two slowly chatted. When the maid said it was time to go back, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Xichun was reluctant to leave, but here it was almost a firecracker, which was a relief for both of them.

When Mrs. Xing returned to the courtyard, she felt a little depressed. Wang Xifeng noticed it and asked the maid who was serving Mrs. Xing today. She suddenly had an idea in her mind. After returning, she said to Jia Lian, "Let's bring the younger sister of the Xing family in to accompany mother."

Jia Lian was taken aback, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Wang Xifeng told Jia Lian what happened today, "We don't have time to spend with mother, sister Qiao and Brother Hua, to be honest, don't bother me."

Jia Lian naturally said no, so Wang Xifeng continued.

Wang Xifeng said: "It stands to reason that my mother can bring Sister Qiao and Brother Hua to her to raise. My mother has never said anything about it, and we have not mentioned it."

"It's okay for the mother to take the child for a while, but I don't worry about raising it for a long time."

Jia Lian nodded. He really wanted to raise Sister Qiao and Brother Hua to the Xing family. Not to mention that Wang Xifeng was not at ease, he would not agree. After all, the Xing family's vision and ability lay there.

"Father is also busy on weekdays, so he doesn't pay much attention to mother. The second sister does, but she is also busy with going to school and studying as a housekeeper. After a long time, mother will inevitably be lonely and boring."

"Didn't my mother go to sister-in-law Zhen today? I heard that sister-in-law Zhen's mother and two younger sisters are living with her now, so I thought, I might as well take my mother's niece to live with my mother so that my mother won't have to live with her." Lonely, with only one girl left and right, even if we pay a dowry when the time comes, we won't be able to afford it."

Jia Lian hesitated, "You don't know much about the outside world in the inner house. You also know what your mother was like back then. That couple is worse than the mother. A daughter from such a family... If she really comes, I'm afraid Mother will suffer."

What was the Xing family like back then?Bitter and mean, love money like life, but after so many incidents, the Xing family has changed a lot.

In the past, all the masters ignored her, and even the servants dared to bully her. Xing has no other choice but to fight back. If others ignore her, she will let the other party see her. , she relies on money!Over time it became like that.

But now everyone respects her, treats her with a good temper, and doesn't hit anyone with a smile. Xing's attitude has gradually become gentle. Her husband and children are reliable, and she is not short of food and clothing. I don't know how to spend my money, and gradually I don't value it so much.

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Wang Xifeng also hesitated, "Then I'll go to someone to inquire first. If it's a good one, I'll take it in. If it's not good, I'll talk about it."

Jia Lian nodded, but she thought in her heart that the girl was probably not very good.

Jia Min took her daughter back to Rongguo Mansion, and finally went to see Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng said a few words and left. They had dinner together again in the evening. Rest early.

Mother Jia naturally agreed, but she just pulled Lin Daiyu and refused to let her go, "Yu'er will live with me."

Jia Min smiled and said: "Mother, you are so old, why bother to let Yu'er disturb you? She is spoiled by us at home, and she will not adapt to living in a different place on weekdays. Let her live with me. "

The two talked a lot, and finally Lin Daiyu lived with Jia Min.

At night, Lin Daiyu and Jia Min were lying together. Jia Min turned to look at her, "Can't sleep?"

Lin Daiyu hummed softly.

Jia Min asked, "Are you happy seeing your second and fourth sisters today?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Happy, but it's a pity that the third sister is not here, otherwise this would be complete."

When Jia Min heard Lin Daiyu mentioning Tanchun, she sighed inwardly, feeling less sleepy, and quickly changed the subject, "What about your second sister and your fourth sister?"

Lin Daiyu thought for a while and said, "Second sister is exactly what I thought, a kind and amiable big sister image, but fourth sister is a little different from what I thought..."

Jia Min also read a few letters written by Xichun to Lin Daiyu. The Xichun in the letter is stable and dignified, completely different from her in reality. Jia Min asked with a smile: "Then do you like her?"

Lin Daiyu's voice instantly became a little more cheerful, "I like it! I was very happy when I stayed with the fourth sister, and the time passed in a flash."

Jia Min suddenly asked, "What about Baoyu?"

Lin Daiyu's cheerful voice stopped abruptly, and after a while she said dully: "...I don't like it."

Jia Min touched Lin Daiyu's hand and shook it vigorously, "Mom doesn't like it either."

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up instantly.

Jia Min said again: "But he is our relative after all, there is no need to avoid it on weekdays, just get along with ordinary friends."

Lin Daiyu hummed.

Jia Min said: "Okay, go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow."

Jia Lan looked at the books on the table curiously, "Mother, where did these books come from? Can Lan'er read them?"

Li Wan put the books away carefully, "These books were used by your elder sister Lin's father, and they are given to you now, but you are still young, so you don't need them, and your mother will keep them for you, and I will look after them when you are older." not good?"

Jia Lan nodded obediently, and continued to practice calligraphy.

At this moment, Mingyue leaned into Li Wan's ear and whispered something. Li Wan frowned after hearing this, "How can I do such a thing? Go to your mother and tell me about it." , if not, take some silver and give it to her."

The bright moon should be, retreated.

Facing the mirror, Mrs. Wang removed the jewelry one by one, while listening to Jin Chuan's words, "Thank you for your hard work today."

Jin Chuan immediately said: "It's not hard, but luckily I didn't miss my wife's business."

Wang sneered in her heart, thinking that her sister-in-law was still so annoying, and wondered if that little girl Lin Daiyu was as eloquent as her mother.

Mrs. Wang thought again that today when Jia Mu asked her to serve vegetables, she made it clear that she was trying to vent her anger on Jia Min, so she couldn't help becoming irritable, "Can you see clearly? Did Baoyu show the jade to Miss Lin before she suddenly dropped it?"

Jin Chuan nodded, "Yes, everyone in the room knew about it." As he spoke, Jin Chuan recounted the scene in detail.

As soon as Wang heard it, she said bitterly: "It's really that man's daughter, and it's still a disaster!" As soon as she came here, she lost her psychic jade!Thinking of Jia's mother's plan, Wang became even more impatient. No matter what, she would never agree with Baoyu to take Lin Daiyu as his wife!

Jin Chuan shivered, and buried his head even lower, wishing he didn't have ears.

Mrs. Wang didn't pay attention to her, and now she was thinking about how to prevent Baoyu from contacting Lin Daiyu. After thinking for a while, she felt that it was best for Baoyu to study hard during this time, so that she could learn to please Jia Zheng and reduce the time she spent seeing Lin Daiyu. Kill two birds with one stone.

Yu Chuan came in and whispered: "Ma'am, Grandma Zhu's servant girl came to report that a widow from Grandma Zhu's natal family came to seek refuge with her two daughters."

When Wang heard this, her face turned cold, "It's not that her natal family has no one, so why did she come to her?"

Yu Chuan understood, and just after walking a few steps, she was stopped by Wang, "You said that the widowed sister-in-law of her natal family came here with her two daughters?"

Yu Chuan nodded, and Wang asked again, "Do you know how old her two daughters are?"

Yu Chuan thought for a while and said, "I don't know the specific servant girl, I heard they are around ten years old."

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Forget it, let them stay here first, and tell Zhuer's daughter-in-law that her natal relatives come here rarely, so don't wait too long."
