Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Aunt Shen said so, but when she made the clothes, she made two sets. Lin Wanru and Lin Daiyu each had a set of the same fabric, except for the pattern. I saw it and said it looks good.

Lin Daiyu was overjoyed. Although she wore a lot of clothes, Aunt Shen made them for her and had nothing to do with the Jia family. She hadn't seen this feeling of being cared for by her family for a long time.

When it comes to the clothes and jewelry worn by the girls when they go out as guests, the Jia family naturally prepared them early. The first time they received a post, when they were invited by Dingcheng Hou Xie's family to have a drink, they prepared new clothes for everyone. They sent them to various places, except for the three sisters of the Jia family, Lin Daiyu, Lin Wanru and Xue Baochai, all dressed up meticulously, and went to the banquet with Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing.

Sister Feng sent everyone out of the mansion, and seeing the carriage go far away, her face darkened, and she asked Ping'er, "Is it true that you didn't prepare Wanru's clothes?"

Ping'er said: "Could there be a mistake? After these things are done, they are handed over to the wife for review, and the wife nods before putting them away. I went to get them yesterday, and signed each one. Like a girl, I didn't dare to ask my wife, but Jin Chuaner waved her hand straight away, so I didn't dare to say more, so I quickly took out a set of clothes I made and made them up, or it was true Not pretty."

Sister Feng's complexion became complicated, she made clothes for the young ladies in the family, but only Lin Wanru's was missing, what would Lin Wanru think if she found out about this?Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai still lived in the house, what would they think if they found out?

You will definitely think that the Jia family is driving people away, and a transparent person like the wife will not fail to understand, even if there is something missing like Wanru, this is pretending to be confused.Does the lady mean that she is tired of Wanru, or is she tired of Daiyu?

After all, everyone can see that the old lady wants to get closer. There is also Xue Baochai living in the birth house. In terms of character and generosity, the wife naturally prefers to kiss her niece. Although Xue Baochai is studying for the princess Going to Beijing, after all, is an unknown, if it doesn't work, it will be the age to get married.

Sister Feng's heart was pounding. She is the wife's niece, and she is also the wife's support for the housekeeper. If she goes against the wife's wishes, she will definitely not get any good fruit, but if she follows the wife's wishes, can she just sit and watch? Like being raped?

The old lady will definitely be unhappy when she finds out. Even if she finds out that it is the wife's idea, she will only scold herself to vent her anger. There is a wife on one side and an old lady on the other.

She sighed, and told Ping'er: "Go and find out again, is it the wife's idea? Did the clothes be finished and the wife buttoned them up, or was the clothes never made at all? Called the people in the sewing room to ask." Ask." Ping'er agreed.

In the middle of the afternoon, as soon as the matter was clarified, Sister Feng shook her hands angrily. The list she had prepared was sent to the sewing room to ask the embroiderer to make clothes according to the list, but Aunt Zhao stepped in and gave Lin Wanru the share. After the cutting, the embroiderers didn't make Lin Wanru's clothes at all. The clothes were sent to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang couldn't have found out, but she kept silent, which was acquiescing to Aunt Zhao's mischief.

Sister Feng was so angry that she called the people in the sewing room and scolded her. She knew in her heart that she couldn't blame the people in the sewing room. After all, Aunt Zhao was a half master, and she still had the ability to scare little girls, so she had to do it when the time came There are so many clothes, no one will notice if one or two is missing.

Right now, when she heard that the wife and the girls had come back, they rushed out to greet her, all of them were smiling. Sister Feng suppressed the anger in her heart and greeted her with a smile: "Hey, what's so happy about it? Look at how happy you are." .”

Jia Tanchun said with a smile: "I met Princess Minghua at Xie's house today, and she invited us to their spring banquet at the beginning of spring."

Sister Feng was also very surprised, and said with a smile: "Hey, who doesn't know that the spring banquet organized by Princess Minghua is the first in Beijing, and it is your blessing."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Thanks to Wanru, she is a girl who knows how to pick up Qiaoer. When she met Princess Minghua, she took off her handkerchief and yelled, and answered the princess's words. The princess liked it and took us All invited."

Lin Wanru said with a smile: "I didn't know it was the eldest princess at the time, but it really surprised me."

Everyone laughed, saying that this was fate, and they were obviously looking forward to the spring banquet in the beginning of spring.

Princess Minghua and Princess Shunhua are sisters of the same mother and compatriots, the emperor's own sister, one married into the Shi family of Shan Guogong, and the other married into the Liu family of Li Guogong. Among them, Princess Minghua was the eldest, and she organized the spring banquet She has always gathered the top people in the elite circle of the capital, and being invited by her is a kind of recognition.

Sister Feng secretly observed Mrs. Wang's face, and looked at the sisters talking and laughing with a smile. She couldn't tell anything strange, and suddenly she couldn't be sure. The wife is a smart person, even if she was disgusted in her heart, she wouldn't show it so honestly. .

Now I'm busy again, maybe I don't know about it at all, and I didn't look carefully, so I just fooled Aunt Zhao in such a muddle?Then what does Jin Chuan'er's unspeakable attitude mean?

Sister Feng was in a daze. Here, Mother Jia had already smiled and said, "Take Xiangyun over, too. Everyone is lively."

The three sisters of the Jia family all smiled and said good-bye, which shows that they like Shi Xiangyun very much.

Sister Feng came to her senses, hurriedly agreed, and ordered her family to invite her.

Shi Xiangyun was picked up the next day, and Lin Wanru mixed in the crowd to take a closer look. That Shi Xiangyun had a duck-faced face, curved eyebrows, and was cute and cute. He was wearing bright red clothes with flowers and butterflies, and he was smiling and fighting with a few people. Playing around, laughing: "I want to live until the end of the year."

Mother Jia was even more happy, and asked Sister Feng to clean up Shi Xiangyun's house. Shi Xiangyun smiled for a while, and suddenly saw a strange face, and couldn't help asking: "Who is this sister, why haven't I seen her before?"

Jia Tanchun laughed and said, "You definitely won't be able to guess, she is Sister Lin's younger sister, who just arrived in autumn."

Shi Xiangyun was really stunned, and Lin Daiyu proudly embraced Lin Wanru: "What? You still don't believe it?"

Shi Xiangyun shook his head, and said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that seeing this little sister grow up like this, and sister Lin looks another way, it's really..."

Sighing again, he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Could it be that all the aura of the Lin family was given to this younger sister? The two sisters are so different from each other."

Everyone was stunned, and Lin Daiyu was the first to react, chasing Shi Xiangyun and hitting him: "I knew you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth."

Shi Xiangyun hid while laughing, and finally hid behind Lin Wanru: "My good sister, you should help me because I praise you so much."

Lin Wanru stopped Lin Daiyu with a smile: "Sister, sister Xiangyun is just kidding you."

Shi Xiangyun nodded hastily, and Lin Daiyu said, "Kneel down, and I will forgive you."

Shi Xiangyun made a grimace: "Amitabha, Sister Lin was so powerful before, but now that she has her help, she is even more annoying."

Lin Daiyu pulled Lin Wanru away angrily, and wanted to hit him again. Everyone was laughing, and Shi Xiangyun had no choice but to hide in Jia Mu's arms: "My ancestor, save me."

Jiamu hugged her and smiled: "You have a monkey mouth."

After laughing for a while, Shi Xiangyun formally greeted him: "Sister, don't laugh at me."

Lin Wanru was also blessed, and ranked his age. Shi Xiangyun was a few months older, so he called his sister, and several people surrounded Jia Baoyu's room to talk.

With Shi Xiangyun here, there will be more days when everyone is laughing and making noise, and it is the end of the new year again. If you come to my place today, I will go to your place tomorrow. There are lively and lively places everywhere.

It wasn't until the twelfth lunar month, when everyone was preparing for the New Year, sweeping the dust, and cutting the window grilles, that they calmed down.

Suoyu's illness was cured after only seven or eight days of recuperation. Seeing that she was still weak, Lin Wanru told her to lie on the bed to recuperate, and didn't want her to do anything else, only leaving the window grille cutting to her. Suoyu was already dexterous, but lying on the bed idle and moldy, she cut out many fresh patterns, and everyone came to ask for them after seeing them.

Lin Wanru, Aunt Shen, and a few maids cleaned up the boxes thoroughly. The clothes that had not been worn for many years, and a lot of scraps of fabric were found, and they were all taken out, or sent to the charity hall. , or cut fabrics to make purses, which are good for holding gold and silver coins, and are also good for rewarding people during the Chinese New Year.

When they arrived at Laba, all the people in the house, whether it was the Jia family or relatives like Lin Wanru, all got together to drink Laba porridge.

As the saying goes, after Laba is the New Year, once Laba is over, in the blink of an eye, the New Year’s Eve will arrive, because the concubine Yuan’s relatives are being prepared, and the New Year’s matter is not a big deal, only on the New Year’s Eve. During the banquet, people big and small in the mansion gathered together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, set off fireworks, and gathered together for fun, and then went back to watch the new year.

As for Mrs. Jia Muwang and the others, because they have an imperial order, they need to congratulate them on the first day of the new year, so they can't rest, and they have to prepare for entering the palace.

By the time Lin Wanru and Aunt Shen stayed up until dawn, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang had already left the house.

Before dawn, Aunt Shen told Lin Wanru to go back to sleep for a while. Lin Daiyu was weak and didn't keep the New Year's Eve at all. She went to bed early and woke up early in the morning. She went to Lin Wanru's room to see that Lin Wanru was sleeping soundly. He asked Zijuan to take the prepared things to see Aunt Shen.

Aunt Shen was very surprised when she saw the box full of gold bars. Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "This is what my father told me before he died. I am the eldest sister, so I naturally have to take care of Auntie and Wanru. This box of gold bars is what my father said, so it should be given to me." It's like New Year's money, ask my aunt to save it."
