Edge of the Red Chamber

"When I passed by, the grandma was about to arrange for someone to clean the house. As soon as I said it, the grandma laughed. She said that she knew that the girl and Miss Cui were on good terms. If Miss Cui stayed, she would definitely rest in the girl's room. , is waiting for me to go over." Hongxiao said, laughing at the same time, and then said: "Brother Fei came back at night and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting. He fell asleep while sitting in the bathtub, and his wife hugged him to sleep. I didn’t go in, I took a peek at the door and came back.”

Daiyu laughed while listening, and finally said: "It's no wonder, he played here all day today, and he didn't sleep at noon. I was worried that he would fall asleep when he was catching Zhou." , I know that Cui Jiayi has washed it.

Turning her head, she saw Cui Jiayi coming out with her hair loose, and the little girl following behind was holding a towel, so she said, "Why don't you ask the girl to wipe it for you? It looks like your clothes are wet."

Cui Jiayi pursed her lips and said: "Don't be afraid, it's hot, it'll be over in a while." Then she said: "You also hurry to take a bath, we will play chess in a while."

As she said that, she had already walked to the brocade, and the little maid hurriedly stepped forward and dragged her hair with a towel. Cui Jiayi just kicked off her shoes and lay on the floor, and said to Hongxiao, "Sister Xian, what are you doing? Feier is asleep?" Hung Hom said it carefully again.

The next day, when Cui Jiayi got up, Daiyu had already walked back and forth along the cobbled corridor.

The maid opened the Xiang curtain, and when she got to the door, she heard two calls.

"The girl is here."

"The girl is here."

Cui Jiayi became happy when she heard the sound, and looked down the corridor, and she saw a row of cages. In the row of cages on the right corridor, there were thrush parrots and other birds. On the left, there was only a cage and a gold frame. It was the starling sent by Lin Yan, and the one on the shelf was of course the red-billed green-haired parrot sent by Lin Yan.

When the two birds saw Cui Jiayi coming out, they sang happily.One after another, one higher than the other.

Cui Jiayi smiled and said, "It's really like what your girls said."

After finishing speaking, he stopped, clasped the frame with his hands, and said, "Have you been fed water in the morning?"

It happened that Lan Qiao came out with some water, just when she heard this, she said with a smile, "I just got it."

Cui Jiayi took a look in front of her, and saw that the so-called bird food was a soybean-sized ball, and suddenly felt that it was interesting, so she reached out and picked one up to have a look, and saw Lan Qiao took out one, the starling or parrot Brother called out, not only to attract Lan Qiao's attention, but also to please Lan Qiao.

Immediately, he became interested, took the glass vial containing bird food, and said, "Go and do your work, I'll feed them."

Anyone can see that Lan Qiao is teasing the two birds.When Cui Jiayi said this, she clearly wanted to be stubborn.Naturally, Lan Qiao wouldn't say it out loud, and stepped aside with a pursed smile.

Cui Jiayi intentionally teased the two birds, making them sing even more happily.

Daiyu first heard the cry, and then noticed Cui Jiayi, and couldn't help but cry.When he got closer, he said, "You don't mind making a fuss." Then he asked, "Do you want to come down for a walk too?"

Cui Jiayi handed the bird food in her hand to Lan Qiao, and Lu Fei immediately brought water to wait for her to wash her hands. Cui Jiayi washed her hands and said, "Why don't you go? I'll wait for you to come over so we can get along. You wait, I'm here Enough."

Parrot immediately said, "Girl, let's change your shoes first."

The starling was not far behind, and then said: "The girl is sitting inside and changing her shoes, and carefully falls down."

Lan Qiao was about to feed, and when she heard it, she knew they were trying to please Cui Jiayi. They wanted something to eat, and she laughed and scolded: "Little thing, you can teach you not to learn the good ones, but you can learn the bad ones. No one taught them, don't want to eat them." , They actually met by themselves."

Lu Fei smiled and said: "We often say it on weekdays, but it's hard to remember it."

Cui Jiayi laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, she pointed at the bird cage, and looked at Daiyu who was about to speak, but couldn't speak.It took a while to get better, and he said: "It's no wonder you always find it noisy, and you didn't say anything about sending it away. Now I see it, and I like it very much in my heart. I will ask my elder brother to look for this kind of thing for me another day." Come two."

Lu Fei waited on her and washed her hands, then led her into the pavilion to change her shoes.The two walked slowly one after the other, talking at the same time.

Before the end, the two of them were sweating all over. Cui Jiayi wiped the sweat with a handkerchief, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's so hot this morning, it's unbearably stuffy, I'm afraid it's raining."

Daiyu also looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, and it didn't look like it was going to rain, she frowned and said: "These days are getting hotter and hotter, the next rain will be fine."

Although sweating all over, the two still insisted on walking back and forth three times before entering the pavilion to rest.

The two slowly drank a cup of honey water, and the heat went down. They went back to the house to take a shower and wash their hair, and then they went to save the old lady together.

Mrs. Zhao and Lin Jun had already arrived, and after a while, Mrs. Lu and Lu Huixian came along with Lin Fei.

Everyone had no appetite, so after eating two mouthfuls, they all watched Lin Fei eat.

Lin Fei also sat on the edge of the table like everyone else, on the special chair that Lin Jue used to sit in when he was a child, surrounded by a circle of cork, and in front of him was a half-moon-shaped wooden board about one foot wide, just right for the bowl.

Now that Lin Fei is too young, he only dared to let him play tricks with a wooden spoon, instead of using a nurse, Lu Huixian fed him with a bowl.Lin Fei was slightly unwilling, always wanted to put the spoon into the bowl, but Lu Huixian dodged it at the moment when he was about to reach the edge of the bowl.Lin Fei raised his head and stared at Lu Huixian, yelling "Ahhh" twice to express his dissatisfaction, and then started a new round of attempts.

No matter whether Lu Huixian teased him on purpose or not, Lin Fei didn't cry, at most she puckered her mouth and yelled twice to express her dissatisfaction.Because he is like this, no one who has ever met does not love him.

When Lin Fei's spoon came over again, Lu Huixian deliberately waited for his spoon to touch the porridge before avoiding it, Lin Fei frowned, and continued to fight.

Lu Huixian held Lin Fei's hand to scoop up a spoon, and then handed it to his mouth. Even with the help of Lu Huixian, only a few grains of rice in Lin Fei's mouthful of porridge fell into his mouth, and the rest spilled everywhere. There are also.

Although it was not the first time seeing her, Mrs. Lu still felt a little overwhelmed.Apart from the acquaintances, Mrs. Lu didn't know how to teach children in other families, but it was the first time she saw someone like Lu Huixian teaching children.At home, after all, they are all members of the family, so they don't feel that the children are not well-educated, but look at them for fun. If they go out of this door, people outside will see it, and it will be a joke for others.

And the old lady never said anything.In her heart, Mrs. Lu thought that this is what an old lady would do.After all, she is not the real ancestor of the Lin family, even if she feels bad in her heart, she probably won't say it.

Thinking of this, he scolded, "I've never seen you act like a mother." As he spoke, he wiped the dirt off Lin Fei's clothes with a handkerchief, then took the porridge bowl from Lu Huixian, and personally Hello Lin Fei.

Lin Fei's porridge was specially boiled, with □ added, it became mushy.

Lin Fei wasn't picky either, and he ate every bite given by Mrs. Lu, but he was still the same as before, waving the spoon in his hand, wanting to do it himself.Go get the spoon in his hand, his hand is tight, if you use too much strength you may hurt him, if you use too little strength you won't be able to take it out.At this moment, Mrs. Lu finally understood Lu Huixian a little bit. It wasn't that she wanted to tease the child, but that the child thought that the adults were playing with him.

After the meal, Lin Fei was carried down by the nanny to change clothes. Everyone moved to the small hall to talk. Just as they sat down, there was thunder and lightning outside. After a while, big raindrops fell, and several maids rushed to close the windows , still not in time.In an instant, the rain became heavier, and the rain seemed to be poured directly from the sky. At the same time, the wind was blowing, and the rain came in along the window sill, wet the wall and the ground.

Everyone in the room smiled happily, the old lady chanted the Buddha's name repeatedly, and Mrs. Lu also chanted the Buddha's name, saying: "It's finally down."

The rain in the spring is good, and I don't want to enter May, and there is not a drop of rain, but the weather is getting hotter every day.

If there is a severe drought in Chang'an this year, wouldn't it mean that the new emperor has no virtue, and the Supreme Emperor gave up the throne by mistake?

I'm afraid that no one will be able to get a good one.

Fortunately, the rain finally came down.

It rained for two days and two nights at once, and the lake in the garden overflowed into the Luoying Pavilion.People can't help but think of the old saying, first drought and then flood.From the Supreme Emperor to the traffickers and pawns, they all have a heart.Finally, there was no danger, and the sky cleared up in the morning of the third day.

Under the eaves of the corridor, water droplets dripped and dripped, Lin Fei was so happy that he couldn't stay in the room for a moment, twisted his body and pointed to the door, intending to go out, even refusing to eat.

Mrs. Lu hugged him, coaxed him, and said: "Insects are everywhere outside. I love the tender meat of children. Go out and see if I bite you." She joked with the old lady and said, "This child is just a sitter. I can't help it, I've been locked up for two days, it's like being in prison." After finishing speaking, he felt that his words were unlucky, so he hurriedly "bah" twice, and said awkwardly: "Look at me, I can't even speak."

The old lady didn't realize it, and said: "This is what he followed his uncle, so he can't sit still."

While talking, Mrs. Lu couldn't hold Lin Fei any longer, so she had to hand it to his nurse, but she was still worried and explained repeatedly, "Just walk on the corridor for a while, and I'll set the meal in a while."

When Mrs. Lu said something, Lin Fei's nanny, Nanny Chen, responded.Lin Fei was already impatient. Seeing his nanny only talking and not going out, he rushed to the maid beside him, not forgetting to point his finger at the Xianglian.

Mrs. Lu laughed angrily, bit his face lightly, then waved her hand and said, "Go, go."

After being bitten, Lin Fei immediately frowned, wiping his cheek with his hands in disgust.However, when Nanny Chen walked to the door, she immediately threw the matter over to the country of Java and cheered happily.

Mrs. Lu scolded: "Little monkey, how dare you despise me," and laughed: "I just like running outside so much."

Because Lin Yan was mentioned just now, Mrs. Lu asked, "Have you chosen a good date?"

The old lady shook her head with a smile, and said: "Not yet, I started to watch the date years ago, my in-laws chose several dates, and I also chose a few, there were two good days in the first half of the year, but I just can't wait. There were no great days in the second half of the year, but the next few days were good, and I couldn’t make up my mind for a while, so we have to discuss it again.”

Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "It's a few months away, I think it's better to be in the next year. With Yan'er's knowledge, next year will definitely win the toad palace, isn't it double happiness?"

The old lady was really happy when she heard that, she still waved her hands and said modestly: "He has a monkey temper, no more calm than his brother, I just hope that he will not disappoint his father's teachings, and the new daughter-in-law is also good-looking, so I will be satisfied." gone."

Mrs. Lu said: "How many years has this been an old saying? At that time, he was young, and he was naughty. Don't you think that I haven't seen him for a few years, and suddenly I saw him, almost I can't recognize him anymore. In my opinion, this way of acting is better than his brother's at that time. I only regret that I didn't have another girl, otherwise, at that time in Yangzhou, I would have settled him too. "The words made everyone laugh.

As soon as Daiyu and the three of them heard Mrs. Lu's question about the date, they knew they were going to talk about Lin Yan's marriage, and hurriedly avoided the outside.

Lin Fei has already been hugged by another big girl, and is having fun patting the water droplets dripping from the eaves.Nanny Chen and a few maidservants were trying to persuade him not to let him play in the water, but Lin Fei would not listen, as he would make a fuss if he was too far away and couldn't reach the water.Mother Chen couldn't help but let him play in the water, fearing that his clothes would get wet, so she hugged him further away, Lin Fei made a fuss, and hugged him closer.Seeing back and forth like this is very lively.

When Daiyu came out, she saw that Lin Fei's face was covered with water, his sleeves were also wet, and the front of the smock that he only used for eating was soaked.Daiyu guessed that the clothes inside were probably wet, so she lowered her face and said, "How do you serve me? Brother's clothes are wet and I don't know how to change them."

Nanny Chen blushed with embarrassment, she opened her mouth when she was about to say something, but she didn't say anything.The maidservants didn't dare to tell the difference, they all lowered their heads and apologized.

Everyone in the family knew about Lin Fei's temperament. He didn't listen to others, and he was the eldest son and grandson. Except for Lu Huixian, who would dare to lift a finger?Even if Lin Jue wants to beat or scold, it depends on whether the old lady and Lu Huixian agree or not.They are slaves, they can't scold, beat, or say a harsh word, and they can't control the mischievous Lin Fei.

Daiyu also knew their grievances in her heart, but she just hated these girls and women for being too stupid. Since they can't control Lin Fei, don't they know how to find someone who can?The old lady, wife, in-laws, wife, and grandma are all there, but they refuse to make a trip for a few steps away, not because they are afraid of taking responsibility.

In this way, he was afraid of wolves and tigers in the future, dare not speak out and dare not control, and Lin Fei doesn't know what to do. In this way, sooner or later he will develop a domineering temperament.

Lu Huixian is a mother, she always fears that Lin Fei will be wronged, so she chooses these honest people to serve by her side.But I don't know, it's not a good thing to be too honest.

After all, it was a matter in the elder brother's sister-in-law's room. As a sister-in-law, she couldn't control too much, and she couldn't talk to the people around her nephew.Today these words are already overstepped.

Lin Fei made a fuss and refused to leave, so Daiyu stepped forward, half coaxed and half persuaded, and forced her into the room without crying.
