[Red Mansion] A Witch from Another World Enters the Red Mansion

Jia Fu

In Rongxi Hall, the maid Yuanyang asked the little maids to serve tea for the masters and stand beside Jiamu to serve at any time. Jiamu sat on the arhat bed covered with red felt and said wearily, "How many people are there in the public account now?" silver?"

Seeing that the new year is coming again, the various expenses in this mansion, the rewards from maids and servants, the exchanges between relatives, and the money given to Yuan Chun cannot be broken. Don't worry, ever since Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, Lin Ruhai's New Year's gift can be handled every year, but when Daiyu went to another courtyard, Lin Ruhai's New Year's gift money is getting less and less, and Jia's mother still pays for it at the beginning. I didn't think it was Mrs. Wang who brought it to the public today to find out that Yangzhou's special pastries are not worth much. Looking at the big cart, but after careful calculation, it is not more than half of the previous year.

Holding the bill in her arms, Wang Xifeng sighed, "If we go back to our ancestors, there are 8 taels of silver left in the public account, which seems a lot, but this year's harvest is not good, Zhuangzi is losing money, and Baoyu and the others are getting bigger and bigger. In the future, there will be a lot of money to be used, and the eldest lady in the palace will need money urgently, and she can't save it even if she wants to save it."

If Wang Xifeng is the most annoying person in this mansion, this Rongguo Mansion will definitely belong to the big family in the future, but when it is handed over to him, it must not be an empty shell.

Mrs. Wang sat on the side and twirled the beads, hating Lin Ruhai for being treacherous in her heart, and said with a straight face, "This Lin Ruhai is also true, once my sister-in-law is gone, she treats us like this, it's strange that people often say that people leave tea to cool down. "Thinking back when Jia Min was alive, he always liked to show off how much his husband loved her and how capable he was, but now it looks like this. If a person dies, he will lose everything. If he can't get it right, he will take a little wife back in a few days. I am a fairy descending from the sky, bah.

Mother Jia's face froze when she heard Mrs. Wang's words, she cast her eyes at Mrs. Wang, she didn't say anything, or Wang Xifeng who was at the side saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and hurriedly said, "Old ancestor, second wife, when Daiyu came, Lin Uncle is very generous, tell me, is it because Uncle Lin knows about Sister Lin and has other thoughts in his mind."

Mother Jia's face froze when Wang Xifeng mentioned Lin Daiyu, and then she sighed, "Oh, it's not that I, an old woman, don't love my granddaughter. I really don't know which evil spirit Daiyu has provoked. It's been more than two years. The sores didn't heal intermittently. I wanted to bring her back, but she was a heavy-hearted person. Seeing that the sisters at home were well, she might feel uncomfortable. Although I went to Zhuangzi, as an ancestor, I couldn't bear it. How can I not read it in my heart, if Yuer makes Lin Ruhai feel alienated from me, I will never obey, and I will definitely ask him for an explanation." It stands to reason that Lin Ruhai shouldn't know, Yuer's She checked all the letters, and she specially asked Yu'er to write letters to Yangzhou every month, which should have reassured Lin Ruhai's heart.

Thinking of Lin Daiyu in the other courtyard, Jia Mu's old face couldn't help but blush. In the past two years, when there was no one, Jia Mu also said a few words to Yuanyang, and occasionally looked at Jia Min's old things, and felt a little guilty in her heart.

It's just that, after all, granddaughter still has a foreign character, which can't be compared with the honor of precious grandson. And when Lin Daiyu was sent to other courtyards, because of Baoyu, Jia's mother also said something against her will. Looking at Daiyu's penetrating eyes, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and the love at the beginning was gone, but it was out of sight and out of mind, and then Yingchun and Lin Daiyu's illness continued intermittently. If it didn't work out, Mother Jia's feelings of guilt faded with time. It was enough to know that Lin Daiyu was still alive. As for Yingchun, Mother Jia never cared about her.

What Jia Mu said was sincere, Mrs. Wang on the side listened, and sneered in her heart. She twirled the Buddhist beads on her wrist without lifting her eyelids. Looking at Jia Mu, she sighed endlessly, even Wang Xifeng, who has always been stern, felt a little bit chilled when she heard this.Sister Lin is such a glass person, but it's a pity that her life is hard.

After talking by herself for a while, and being flattered by Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng again, Mother Jia felt a lot more relieved, drank a sip of tea, and continued, "Well, the new year is approaching, and it's good to have a family reunion. Hurry up tomorrow and find some wives to take care of you." Yu'er was brought back. There is an old saying that men and women have different seats when they are seven years old. When they are brought back, they will live in the Drunken Maple Court near Lixiang Court. For my ability, I just give her a yard to read her hands."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng quickly responded, "As expected of the old ancestor, he just thinks long-term. When I go down later, I will clean up the Zuifeng courtyard. I won't wrong the old ancestor's heart, but the old ancestor should be pitiful. Pity me for being a rough person, once Sister Bie Lin comes back, the old ancestor will not see me as a living person, and then, I will have to be cheeky and put my face in front of the old ancestor." After finishing speaking, he covered his mouth He burst out laughing, and even Mrs. Wang laughed and cursed "Splashing Monkey" when she heard it.

While laughing, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but think that the Pear Fragrance Courtyard was the place where the old man in the mansion rented back then. Although it was small, it was well-equipped and exquisite. The bare ones were the maple leaves that were planted later, although they became a scene, but after all, there was something wrong with it, and now the yard is given to Sister Lin, alas.

The three talked and laughed together, thinking that Lin Daiyu had entered the mansion, so Lin Ruhai would have to express it no matter what. In the end, Mrs. Wang was still a little worried and said, "Old ancestor, don't blame the daughter-in-law for being stupid. When my sister was still there, What is the attitude of the brother-in-law, and what is the attitude now? If you say that Uncle Lin is angry because of Daiyu, the daughter-in-law will not believe it. What kind of mansion are we? Dear relatives, never come back with a full load, praise the old ancestor for his kindness, he is a living Bodhisattva, sending Daiyu to another courtyard is a last resort, I was not like this at the beginning, I only returned to the mansion when I recovered."

Jia Mu happily listened to Mrs. Wang's words, but Mrs. Wang was turning around. Although it sounded very good, Jia Mu couldn't figure out what it meant, and said with a smile, "Just say what I say." That’s right, I’m completely confused about the crutches and crutches.”

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu calmly, covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, wiped it lightly, and continued, "Old ancestor, you said that there is someone with my brother-in-law. If there is someone, give birth to a son. Niece Lin is pitiful."

When Jia Mu heard this, she paused, just for a moment, and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, he will only have Daiyu as a child in his life." Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu in astonishment. Sweat dripped from his back.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Mother Jia was the first to laugh and said, "Hehe, your sister told me a long time ago that Daiyu's father is very weak, so I guess he didn't have that kind of luck, but what the second family said was right. , this man can never lack women, even if he can't give birth to a son, he can still separate Yu'er from her father's father-daughter relationship. For the second child, you choose a few gentle, delicate-looking, innocent and kind girls for Yangzhou Send it there, as well as Yuer's letter and mine."

Mrs. Wang accepted the order with a smile, but Wang Xifeng felt a little tired in her heart. She went back to the room and sat on the bed sullenly, feeling a little bored. Ping'er came over to persuade her, but there were some things she wanted to say but couldn't say, that's all. Well, if she didn't make a living, how could this Rongguo Mansion still have the status of a big house, she gritted her teeth, pulled herself together, and asked Ping'er to bring the account books and recalculate.

In the evening, Mother Jia told Baoyu, Tanchun, and Xichun about the day's decision. Xichun was really happy. Tanchun looked carefully at Mrs. Wang, and said, "My ancestor is kind, and sister Lin may be grateful."

As for Jia Baoyu, thinking of her fairy-like sister, he was also very happy in his heart, but after a while, he thought of the horrible acne on Mrs. Wang's face back then, and lost interest again. Then, seeing Mrs. Wang's smooth face as before, his heart moved The fairy-like Sister Lin will definitely be able to take good care of her body. At that time, Sister Lin will still be that Sister Lin. Stupid, why did I just now think that Sister Lin is alone in another hospital, how sad and sad? Thinking about this, Jia Baoyu knocked himself on the head several times, scaring the faces of Mrs. Jia Muwang and others who were next to him. They asked carefully, and Jia Baoyu laughed, "Old ancestor, I should do it. Sister Lin is alone in other places. How sad should the hospital be? My mother's illness can be cured, and younger sister Lin can be cured as well, so let someone bring younger sister Lin back quickly, and ask elder sister to find some powerful imperial physicians and take a closer look."

Mrs. Wang heard what Jia Baoyu said, and she hated her so much, but thinking about Lin Daiyu's sores at that time, she felt a lot more comfortable. Without her seductive face, her Baoyu could still fall in love with her, isn't it? Relying on a bewitching face to charm people, she would like to see what skills she has after becoming that faceless girl.

Jia Baoyu looped around Jiamu's arms, with Sister Lin on the left and Sister Lin on the right, making Jiamu very happy. Even though Mrs. Wang comforted herself, she still felt a little uncomfortable, and said with a straight face, "Baoyu, How are you learning these days, be careful and your father will interrogate you tomorrow."

As soon as Mrs. Wang mentioned Jia Zheng, Baoyu's face froze, and cold sweat seemed to flow from his forehead. To his father, Baoyu was as timid as a mouse seeing a cat, and as whole as an eggplant beaten by frost. , very listless.

Seeing her, Jia's mother hurriedly said, "If you don't want to stay here with my old woman, you should leave first. Why do you scare my Baoyu? Baoyu is good, so what are you afraid of? No matter how powerful you are, he is also my son. If he dares to attack you tomorrow, the ancestors will help you beat him." While talking, she hugged Baoyu like a three or four-year-old child, Xichun glanced lightly and looked away.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's dependent face on Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang was very resentful. Looking at Jia Mu's doting expression, she thought to herself, she loves Baoyu so much, and she didn't see her give Baoyu a few valuable things. If you don't love the world, you can also bluff Baoyu.
