The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

mix

On this day, the Xing family asked someone to send a post, saying that the sixth day of February is a good day to welcome the Spring Festival and invite Daiyu to come and play.

The relationship between Daiyu and Yingchun has always been good. Seeing that her life-long event has been settled, she was naturally very happy for her, and replied to the mother-in-law who sent the letter on the spot: "Second sister's happy life, I will definitely bother."

When Liu knew about it, she also agreed with her to go: "I have been away from Beijing for many years, and I don't have any old friends here to take you around. The Jia family is your biological relative's family, let alone the big things now, even if there is nothing to do on weekdays, just go if you want to go. Tell me, and I'll send someone to take you off."

"Thank you, mother, for your concern." Daiyu smiled, but felt a little conflicted about the Jia family.It stands to reason that she has stayed there for several years, her grandmother and aunt are very kind to her, and the sisters are also kind, so she should like it very much.But thinking of what happened the last few times, she always felt a little nervous.

When they arrived at Jia's house, Xueyan saw that Li Wan and Sanchun were with Jia's mother. Of course, Jia's phoenix eggs were indispensable. Besides these familiar faces, there was also a strange girl sitting next to Yingchun.

When Xueyan was thinking about who this person was, Baoyu couldn't wait for Daiyu to finish the ceremony, so he couldn't wait to run up to her and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, you are here, I asked my family to pick you up several times You don't even come. You are really late this time, a new sister just came to the family. "

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the strange girl beside Yingchun and said, "This is the eldest wife's niece, sister Xiuyan."

So this is Xing Xiuyan!Xueyan has always had a good impression of this girl who was born in a poor family and has an embarrassing status in the original book, but she is not surprised.Seeing a real person now is of course indispensable.I saw that the other party was wearing a hazy purple satin jacket embroidered with folded branches of magnolia, a water red pleated skirt tied underneath, and a lilac-colored sweat towel around his waist stretched out a willow slender waist.A plum blossom hairpin inlaid with golden silk and beads, a pair of pearl hairpins and a few small gauze flowers are inserted obliquely on the head, and a pair of pearl earrings the size of lotus seeds on the ears complement the skin like creamy cream.

Tsk tsk, this outfit is not at all like the poor family in the original book.

Xueyan thought about it for a while and realized that the current Xing family is not the stingy and mean Xing family in the original book.She is so protective and not short of money, so she will naturally take good care of her own niece.Maybe the Xing family had secretly taken care of her natal family before.

Xueyan's guess on this point is correct. In fact, the Xing family began to find ways to help her nominal natal brother not long after time travel.She has always been strong, even though she has no family relationship with Uncle Xing, she still cannot accept that she has a down-and-out natal brother.Although Uncle Xing and his wife are not very smart, they are even superficial and stupid.But Xing didn't expect them to be very capable. In her opinion, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

Under the Xing family's arrangement, the Xing family is now well-off.It's just that when I heard that Jia's family gave birth to a concubine, I couldn't help but feel a little clingy, and because I envied the wealth and honor in Beijing, the whole family came here.Xing was a little displeased at first, but later he thought about putting them under his nose, it was better than being too high and far away to ignore them.With Uncle Xing's temperament, it would be even worse if he was forced to do some work in the fish and meat township or even arrange lawsuits in his hometown under the name of the Jia family.

Therefore, the Xing family asked someone to help sell the Xing family's land in their hometown. Uncle Xing and his wife cleaned up the soft and brought their daughter down to the capital under the arrangement of the Xing family.

No matter what, it was his brother-in-law after all, and Jia She bought a second-class house in Liushu Lane not far away for their family to live in.Uncle Xing only has one daughter, Xiuyan, so he doesn't need a house that is too big.

Uncle Xing and his wife didn't expect such a good thing, they didn't expect Jia Amnesty to help them buy a house again.I have known for a long time that houses in Beijing are expensive, and I thought that buying a house would cost most of the family property accumulated in the past few years.This time I saved a lot of money, but I can use the money to do something else.

In addition, after coming to the capital, the Xing family kept Xiuyan by her side.The couple wandered around all day when they had nothing to do at home, and they had some money in their hands, so they couldn't help being a little loose, and their comings and goings attracted others to covet them.

These are all things to say later, now, Daiyu sees Xiuyan's generous demeanor and kind-hearted personality, and she feels a little fond of Xiuyan, thinking that today's visit is not in vain.

But today is a good day to welcome the spring, so Daiyu naturally focused on her, holding her hand and whispering nonstop.I don't know what the two of them muttered, and Yingchun's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she couldn't help but spit on her.

Xueyan saw that Yingchun, who had always been dressed fresh, was wearing a vermilion gold embroidered beige and a bright red pleated skirt. On her head was a gold phoenix hairpin with pearls and silk and a red gold ruyi flat hairpin. There is also a cluster of goose-yellow jasmine flowers, a pair of ruby ​​earrings on the ears, and a red gold lace gold necklace inlaid with red treasures on the neck... The end is rich and noble.

This is the most gorgeous time that Xueyan has seen Yingchun dressed up, but in the past, the weak and weak image in her mind has quietly bloomed her own brilliance when she didn't pay attention.Xueyan had to admit that the second girl's own aura was enough to hold back such a gorgeous dress.

On the other hand, Tanchun, who was always in high spirits, has become more and more silent in the past two years. Today, perhaps in order not to steal the limelight from Yingchun, he is wearing similar clothes and jewelry as Xichun.

But Baoyu saw that after he recommended Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan, the two of them ignored her, and couldn't help being a little embarrassing.Now she ran to Daiyu with a shy face again: "Sister Lin came here so easily, why is she only talking to the second sister and ignoring us?"

When Daiyu thought of her younger brother who was sent to the outer courtyard when he was just seven years old, and then looked at her cousin who was almost weak and was still hanging around in the back house, she couldn't feel much affection in her heart.I had no choice but to agree with a smile: "Second Brother Bao is serious. Today is a good day for Second Sister. Naturally, I have to congratulate you first. After six ceremonies, Second Sister will be counting on my fingers the days that Second Sister is at home." , we brothers and sisters still have a long time to get along, so why rush at this moment?"

Tanchun glanced at Baoyu and said with a smile: "Sister Lin is very busy now, so she won't come here when she is free. Is the second brother afraid that my sister will not come in the future?"

Daiyu smiled slightly and didn't answer the question, turned her eyes to look at Baoyu and smiled and said, "Why does Second Brother Bao have time to stay with the old lady in broad daylight? Didn't he go to class?"

"Today is a good day for Second Sister. I asked the school for leave." Baoyu replied as it should.

Hearing this, Xueyan smiled disdainfully in her heart and said: This phoenix egg is real, it's just a small order, as long as the female relatives come forward, it's fine, a man will follow suit!
