The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai is back

After returning to Jia's mansion in the carriage, Xue Yan felt relieved.These days in the old house of the Lin family, she has been avoiding Ji Cheng from a distance, for fear that he will take revenge on her, but now she is relieved to leave there.She sat on the edge of her bed and twitched the corners of her mouth helplessly: she originally hated Jia's house very much, but now she wished to stay here and not go out.

It would be a lie to say that Ji Cheng had no plan to deal with Xueyan, Daiyu and the Xing family were the masters and he had no way to do it for a while, and Xueyan was a little maid, he still looked down upon her a little bit.It's just that the incident has just passed, and since it's Jia Min's anniversary ceremony, Ji Cheng is also afraid that if he does something at this time, he will arouse Daiyu's fear, and if he loses his job in Beijing, it will not be worth the loss.Forget it, let that stinky girl jump around for two years, wait for the aftermath of this incident to calm her down, and then take care of her. When the time comes, who can doubt him?

It's a pity that Ji Cheng's dream was interrupted by a group of people who came from Yangzhou one month later.Lin Ruhai received letters from Jia Amnesty and Madam Zheng one after another. Even though Daiyu did not expressly criticize Ji Cheng in the letter asking for safety, she also said something like 'Ms. words.In addition, although the steward who gave the boxing gift years ago accepted Ji Cheng's benefits, there were quite a few handymen who went with him.Lin Ruhai, who was born in Lantai Temple, couldn't help asking such a small matter. Soon someone told Lin Tanhua the truth about what Ji Cheng had done in Beijing.

Lin Ruhai was very disappointed when he knew what Ji Cheng had done. He felt that Mu Ai, a man, could understand, but rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests. Ji Cheng shouldn't get involved with the daughter-in-law at home, the influence is too bad.Furthermore, he is now ruthless to his wife who has been with him for many years, so how can he care about Daiyu, who is still a young master?I'm afraid that after a long time, even myself will be forgotten.

So Lin Ruhai did not hesitate to send two other families to the capital to take over Ji Cheng's seat. With this experience, Lin Ruhai felt that it is better to let these subordinates check and balance each other. If the family dominates, it will inevitably lead to arrogance after a long time. heart of.

After the new steward arrived, Ji Cheng packed up his things and went back to the south in a desperate manner.I don't know if it was his bad luck. During the journey, Mo Ri drank too much wine at night and accidentally fell from the cabin into the river.

Zhu Mei and Ji Liang, who were originally talkative and quarrelsome, became a little silent after hearing the news of their parents' death one after another. Fortunately, the two siblings supported each other, and the people in the yard comforted them. , After a long time, it gradually recovered a little bit of the aura of the past.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Daiyu has grown from an ignorant girl of six or seven years old to a graceful girl, just like the tender willows in early spring, delicate and slender but full of vitality.

Seeing such a healthy Daiyu, Xueyan felt that the painstaking efforts of the past few years were finally not in vain. Sister Lin was no longer the glass beauty who collapsed in a stroke in the original book.

That day, when Xueyan was waiting for Daiyu to pay her respects, she found that Youshi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the East Mansion were making fun of Jiamu.Qin Keqing has not been married for a long time, but she seems to have been liked by everyone in the Jia family, but Xueyan always feels that her identity is a bit complicated, so she always stays far away, for fear of any accidents.

After listening for a long time, Xueyan discovered that Youshi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law invited Jiamu and others to see the plum blossoms there.Hearing this, Xueyan's heart thumped. Could it be that this was Baoyu's first test of Yun Na Han Yu.

Mother Jia is a person who likes to join in the fun, so it is not unreasonable to hear such a good thing. Her old man has gone, and the two daughters-in-law Xing and Wang will naturally follow to serve.Seeing Daiyu sitting beside you, Youshi suddenly said, "Miss Lin hasn't been to us in the past few years.

home?How about taking this opportunity to play together? "

After hearing this, Xueyan really didn't want Daiyu to nod her head, not to mention Baoyu's troubles, but the reputation of Ningguo Mansion's smelly street, even Xichun didn't want to go back, Daiyu is a good boudoir daughter Why don't you go over there to join in the fun?

When Xueyan was worried about Daiyu, Mother Jia said, "I really want Yu'er to relax, but she's getting older, and Mother Liu has always been serious. If it's not good, she will ask for leave and let her go back." Go to school, and go again when you have a chance."

After hearing this, You Shi gave up.

Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: it seems that this old lady understands the situation in Ningguo Mansion in her heart, but she can't bear to let her own niece go to the muddy water over there.No wonder there is no mention in the original book that Mother Jia took the girls to visit Ningguo Mansion...

It's just that Xueyan is still a little worried. Daiyu is now ten years old. If I remember correctly, Lin Ruhai should have passed away in the past two years in the original book.In this life, Daiyu has already had a younger brother. I don't know if Lin Ruhai can change the ending of the original book's untimely death.

When Xueyan was feeling uneasy, within a few days, Jia's house received a letter from Lin Ruhai.The letter said that Lin Ruhai had served two consecutive terms as the inspector of salt and censor, and that he would return to the capital to apply for the post at the end of this term.

After receiving the letter, even Jia's mother recited Buddha several times in succession, put her arms around Daiyu and said, "I thought that I might not be able to see your father again before my old bone left. I didn't expect God to see you, let my old woman see you." You can still see your son-in-law. You have been away from home for many years, and now you are finally looking forward to your father, so you should be happy."

Daiyu gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "I'm so happy."

After returning to Zhuquanyuan, when the maids were talking in private, Zhu Mei sighed: "Oh, when I heard the news that the master is coming, I was happy at first, but also worried. I was afraid that the girl has been away from home for a few years. , the relationship between father and daughter has faded. I am also afraid that the uncle has never seen a girl when he was born, so he will have a birth with a girl..."

It's not that Xueyan is not worried about these things, but it's just useless to worry about some things.

Thinking of the very neat Qiuyue in her memory, Xueyan thought, with such a biological mother, Daiyu's concubine should be right?Besides, Lin Ruhai is so smart, he can't teach his son well...

From the moment they received the letter, everyone in the Zhuquanyuan began to look forward to waiting, but after waiting for two months, they received another letter saying that they had just finished taking care of the trivial matters before boarding the ship.

As time went on, the eager anticipation of everyone gradually faded.Daiyu has changed from being restless at the beginning to being very calm. Every day's homework must be completed very rigorously, and she dare not slack off, for fear that her father will be disappointed when she sees that she is not good at learning.

Just when everyone was about to forget about it, Ji Liang ran in from outside and said: "Master is back."
