The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

Zijuan hurried back from the outside, and just stepped into the corridor, a little maid stepped forward to take the umbrella she put away. It is now the beginning of winter, and the first snow just fell this year, and it hasn't stopped until morning. Because she wanted to send the annual gifts from the Lin family to various places for Lin Daiyu, it was hard to say that she couldn't go out in snowy weather, so after accompanying Lin Daiyu from Jiamuyuan to greet her, she hurriedly went to Jiamuyuan, Jiamuyuan and Jiamuyuan with gifts. The Political Yuan then transferred to Wang Xifeng's and Li Wan's and came back only now.

"Sister Zijuan, drink hot tea first to warm up her body, so as not to let the cold air over the girls when she enters the house." Chunxian brought a cup of steaming tea and smiled at Zijuan.

"The girl is still sitting with the second girl?" Zijuan asked this question because she saw that there was no one in the east wing, but the other side of the main room was quite lively.

"No, you don't know that the young lady only loves to nest with the second young lady, and she rested there for the night yesterday, and this morning she heard that Siqi asked her brother to buy some rare books, so she simply didn't come back. " Chunxian smiled and responded casually.

"It's rare for a girl to have a few happy things, so that's fine." Zijuan sighed.

Zijuan is really not stupid, because she was the maid pointed out to Lin Daiyu by Jia's mother, at first she couldn't help but feel a little self-confident, so she asked Jia Yingchun to persuade Lin Daiyu to keep her cold for two days, and she never talked about important matters. Entrusting her to her, she had to put away those small thoughts and only think about Lin Daiyu wholeheartedly, so that after Wang Momo was released from the mansion by En, she really became the big maid who handled all the human relations in the mansion for Lin Daiyu.

However, the real reason why Jia Yingchun agrees with Zijuan is that Wang Xifeng, in order to be considerate of her younger sister, obliquely gave Zijuan's deed of sale as a favor to Lin Daiyu. Yingchun is naturally willing to let her show her face in front of Lin Daiyu, as Lin Daiyu's left and right arms, to show her talents.

Since the clever Zijuan has decided to recognize Lin Daiyu as his son, she must know how to think of Lin Daiyu in every way. She knows that her girl has been in a high mood ever since she knew that Mrs. Lin was going to return to Beijing to report on her work and got a brother for nothing. While Lin Daiyu was happy, she also knew that only Jia Yingchun would really care about Lin Daiyu's affairs. Others would neither care nor bother, so when I went to the masters this morning, they just behaved in a proper manner. Sending the New Year's gift, she never revealed a word about Lin Daiyu's mood at the moment.

However, with regard to the news from various places, Zijuan also stood on Lin Daiyu's position, relying on her past connections in Rongguo Duke's Mansion, she inquired in detail, and then came back to tell Lin Daiyu that even Jia Yingchun She may have already known there, and she also worried about whether Lin Dai might be deliberately kept in the dark.

At this time, Zijuan naturally thought that she had to report the gift to Lin Daiyu because she had inquired about something today, so she sighed and did not forget the business to do, and returned the teacup to Chunxian's hand, Turn around and walk towards the main room.

"Girl, I have already sent the New Year's gift from the master to the old lady and the wife's room, and even sent it to the masters, grandmas and girls. The old lady is still talking about how Mrs. Lin should not be like this. It costs money." Zijuan Fu bowed to Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu and said.

"It should be like this. After all, I live here, and my father never gave me anything, but I secretly hid the hidden gifts. You have worked hard." Lin Daiyu smiled lightly.

"I have another matter, and I happened to tell the young lady and the second young lady. When I went to my wife's place just now, I saw my wife holding a letter in her hand and talking to Lian's second grandma, so I asked Caixia secretly out of curiosity. Caixia Said that the letter was written by the wife of the Xue family in Jinling, and before I went, Mrs. Wang’s mother-in-law had just left, and she seemed to be discussing something." Zijuan said that this was a matter of duty, and continued Speaking of the newly acquired gossip.

"Huh? Xue's family in Jinling? I didn't know that we still have this family. Does Second Sister know?" Lin Daiyu looked suspiciously at Jia Yingchun and asked.

"I do know a little bit about this. It is said that that one is the wife's direct younger sister. She married the head of the Xue family as a wife a few years ago and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Well... If I remember correctly, that daughter seems to be related to I was born in the same year, because I was born in the first year, so I am older than me by a few months, alas! But I have never met each other. These things are still said to the old lady every year after receiving the annual gift from Jinling. Just mention a few words, and I will know."

"Well, I think the second aunt hasn't seen that concubine for many years. It's rare to receive a letter from her concubine. She must be happy." Lin Daiyu didn't think otherwise, only thinking that Mrs. Wang received a letter from her sister, The natural mood is not better than the average.

Jia Yingchun knew that Lin Daiyu and that piece of jade were nothing more than an ordinary brother-sister relationship, so she didn't need to explain further, but she just thought that Xue Baochai would soon enter Beijing, right?Besides, if Xue Baochai doesn't come to Beijing, it really won't work. The climax of "Dream of Red Mansions" still has to wait for her to start.

Jia Yingchun changed his mind, squinted his eyes to look at Lin Daiyu, and joked: "My sister is getting more and more aware of things. If you want my aunt to know, I don't know whether to be sad or happy. Speaking of which, I and The two nuns got much more than what I gave you, it seems that not only Mrs. Lin is used to being a man, but even my younger sister is so sensible that people love her."

"Second Sister made fun of me again. This is what Second Sister and the mothers should have. After all, without your hard work and teaching, I would still be ignorant and ignorant." Lin Daiyu said coquettishly, smacking her mouth.

Jia Yingchun showed a smile, but she really told her what was in her heart. She would not be polite to Lin Ruhai at all. She knew better than anyone how rich the wealth accumulated by generations of princes of the Lin family was. The things that came here are just a drop in the ocean for him, and he doesn't necessarily care about these external things. Compared with tangible property, what he really cares about is whether Lin Daiyu can live a better life in Rongguo Duke's mansion.

However, Jia Yingchun thought that Xue's family came to Beijing this time, and wondered if something happened just like the original book, so she asked Siqi to inquire secretly.

Sure enough, not long after, Siqi came back and said: "Miss, Miss Lin, the secretary just told me something terrible. I heard that it was the Xue family who committed a life lawsuit in Jinling, so Mr. Wang sent his wife here." Discuss with my wife about asking Aunt Xue and the others to come to Beijing."

"What?! Human life lawsuit!?" Lin Daiyu asked in surprise.

"I heard that it was because he robbed a maid for prostitution, and the servants of the Xue family beat her to death, but it's strange to say that the case should still be suppressed by the government. Picking up the capital? Could it be that the official didn't lock up the people? How could they still be allowed to run around?" Siqi himself became more and more puzzled as he talked.

"I'm afraid that the officials and masters in Jinling dare not offend anyone. Although Xue's family is not an imperial merchant, but Mrs. Xue is Mrs. Wang's own sister. No one has the guts to get involved in such disputes." Of course Jia Yingchun knew this. The case might still be settled in Jia Yucun's hands, but she couldn't just say that she knew the result, so she had to turn a corner.

"Is this what people say that officials and officials protect each other?" Lin Daiyu was puzzled.

"Isn't it? I'm afraid that if it is revealed someday, our family will be implicated." Jia Yingchun pursed her lips and replied complainingly.

"But why is the second aunt still so happy... Isn't she worried that the second uncle will be implicated?" Lin Daiyu asked with a gloomy face, full of worry and doubt.

"It's useless for us to worry about this kind of thing as the younger generation. The second wife and the others naturally have their own way to solve it. If the left and right have really encountered a big problem, we can only say that the family is unlucky, and we can do something for them and ourselves. What?" Jia Yingchun patted Lin Daiyu's head lightly and sighed.

Could it be that the family is unlucky?Jia Yingchun thought about Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and the others, if they hadn't relied on Wang Ziteng's official position, how could they be so calm about this kind of thing?Not only the four major families, but even the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River acted in such an unscrupulous way. No wonder the people above couldn't stand it, and finally couldn't help but uprooted these noble families. It's too arrogant... …

The next day, when everyone gathered in Jiamu's room to talk about family affairs, Mrs. Wang suddenly said happily to Jiamu: "I received a letter from my sister yesterday, she said that my niece was lucky enough to make up a selection quota, so I am going I will go to Beijing next year as a candidate, and I also said that I must come and see me then.”

"Oh?! This is a good thing. I think that girl must be a good one, or else I would have this opportunity." Mother Jia nodded noncommittally.

"Choice? Is it the same as Big Sister?" Tanchun asked curiously.

"But I don't understand. There are so many names in the imperial court, and I don't know which one she will make up for. But as long as you can enter the palace, it's always a happy event, isn't it?" Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, and then Some perfunctory said.

Mrs. Wang explained this very smoothly, but unfortunately she forgot that there were exactly two nanny who were born in the palace among the people present, and they thought they were very smart. Didn't say much about it.

"Old lady, hearing what my wife said, do you think there are new sisters coming to the house?" Jia Baoyu only noticed that there seemed to be some sisters coming, and asked happily in his heart.

"Isn't it? I heard from my sister that my niece has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, but she is much more worry-free than her brother. How could she get such a good opportunity?" The joy on Madam Wang's face almost caught up. The joy when I learned that Jia Yuanchun entered the palace.

It's just that Jia's mother's thinking is different from Mrs. Wang's. In other words, people have no foresight, and there must be near-term worries. The first thing that pops up in Jia's mother's mind is that if the girl from the Xue family enters the palace, won't she become a grandson? The girl's opponent?How good is this? !Why don't you see how the girl from the Xue family looks like before making any plans?

After thinking about it like this, Mother Jia didn't have much joy on her face, she just glanced at Mrs. Wang lightly, and then said: "I don't know what kind of person your niece is, so don't be too happy about everything. "

"Hey?! The old lady taught me a lesson." Mrs. Wang was in a state of excitement when she was poured a basin of cold water, which was half cold immediately. I never dared to say no, so I could only bow my head shyly in response.

Mrs. Xing kept glancing at Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang gloatingly at the side, but she, who had been told by Jia Yingchun for many years, had learned to observe words and expressions, and knew that she must not be happy at this time, so she gradually felt that it was very hard to hold back …

However, although Mother Jia could not understand Mrs. Xing's pettiness, she seldom targeted her in the open. She probably had an attitude that as long as Mrs. Xing did not stir up trouble, she would not bother to care about it, so if Mrs. Xing could hold her breath, she As for Wang Xifeng, because of the seeds planted by Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu that day, I'm afraid she has developed a suspicion towards Mrs. Wang, otherwise she wouldn't have seen Mrs. Wang suffer in front of Jia Mu, But she didn't intend to rescue her, more than that, as soon as the atmosphere in the room cooled down, she immediately looked like she was busy with business outside, and after confessing her guilt to Jiamu with a smile, she turned and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Wang was satirized by Mother Jia for no reason, and she was already depressed enough not to say it, let alone her niece didn't even intend to save her, so why didn't this make her angry? !But it's a pity that, like Mrs. Xing, she can only hold back!hold back! !

Mother Jia probably also felt that seeing the two daughters-in-law in front of her was an eyesore, so she ran out of excuses after a while, and waved everyone to leave.
