You're Crossing the Red Mansions

After all, Jia Jing was born as a Jinshi, and finally finalized the word "Dajian Academy".Jia Zhen praised it again and again, so she hurried down to ask people to survey the terrain and draw pictures carefully, and found the best mason in the capital to prepare to break ground as soon as possible.Jia Zhen discussed with You Xiaoxiao that it would be best to finish the construction at the beginning of the second year, so that all things are born in spring, and then everyone will be called to hold a grand opening ceremony.Since then, Jia Jing has devoted himself to the academy, although he is busy every day without touching the ground, his complexion is getting better and better.

But she said that today You Xiaoxiao was watching Yingchun and Xichun playing chess in Fengyuan courtyard, and only heard the report from outside: "Big grandma, big girl, Miss Ying, Miss Lin sent Qiaomei back in person." You Xiaoxiao heard it , I knew that Lin Daiyu had returned to Beijing, and because it was involved in Lin's family affairs, she said, "Take it to Xinlan Courtyard." Turning around, she said to Yingchun and Xichun, "You can go over there later in the evening. Let's stay with Miss Lin for dinner, you two first tell the kitchen what you want to eat." Both of them knew that they had something to talk about, so they laughed together: "Sister-in-law just go and get busy."

Daiyu followed Jia Lian into the mansion at the wrong time today.When getting off the boat from the pier, Qiaomei wanted to call the sedan chair to go back to the East Mansion by herself, but was dragged by Daiyu to refuse.It has been more than three months since Qiaomei went to Lin's residence.Because Qiaomei listened to You Xiaoxiao's instructions, everything was planned for Daiyu, everyone in the Lin family treated Qiaomei very kindly, and even Lin Ruhai trusted her.After this, Daiyu couldn't leave Qiaomei for a while, and often joked: "When I return to Beijing, I will ask my sister-in-law to ask you to come." Qiaomei and Daiyu are about the same age, and they are like little sisters. The relationship is getting deeper and deeper, and they are both relatives and friends, but after hearing this, it is only a joke.When it was time to leave at Chaoyangmen Wharf, Daiyu sent Xueyan away, and told Qiaomei seriously that she was going to the East Mansion too, so she just took her with her.

After hearing this, Qiaomei couldn't bear to part with her, so they went to Xifu together first.Although Jiamu and the others looked at the girl strangely, they thought she was brought back from Suzhou and didn't take it seriously.Daiyu distributed some simple gifts first, and then greeted the old lady and the ladies on behalf of her father. Baoyu heard her come back, and was about to talk to her, but Daiyu ignored Baoyu at all, and only wanted to go east. Mansion, face to face with brother Zhen and sister-in-law Zhen.Mother Jia and others also knew about Zhang Youshi, so it was not easy to stop her, so she asked the maids to take care of her and go back early.

As soon as You Xiaoxiao entered the door, she saw a graceful and graceful little girl who greeted her early with pretty eyebrows: "Greetings to grandma!" Daiyu also saluted after seeing her: "The kindness of elder brother and sister-in-law, Dai I will repay you with a jade ring and a grass in my mouth!" After saying that, he went down deeply.You Xiaoxiao hurriedly smiled and said: "This is what we should do, my sister is too polite, please get up quickly!" After finishing speaking, she helped her up with her own hands.Then he said to Qiaomei: "After all, the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River support people. Look at our Qiaomei is getting more and more handsome." After finishing speaking, he ordered tea, and Yindie personally took Daiyu to the first chair on the left. After sitting down, Qiaomei was about to stand, but Huanyan smiled and said, "You have errands outside, and we sleep in the high room all day long, so sit down quickly." Qiaomei couldn't push it, and smiled when she saw You Xiaoxiao Nodding, he had to sit on the pedals.

Everyone chatted about Lin Ruhai's illness and how to recover from it. Daiyu talked about her heartache and mentioned that her father was weak, and she couldn't help crying when there was no one in front of the bed. Qiaomei hurriedly persuaded: "Girl, now master It's all good, so there's no need to think about it." You Xiaoxiao saw her, nodded and said: "This is our aunt's blessing, Miss Lin, your filial piety must be seen by God." Then she said something else , Hearing that Lin Daiyu had just arrived in Xifu an hour ago, and rushed over without even packing the box, You Xiaoxiao said: "My sister is also impatient, so I have to come at this time if I have anything to say. The journey must have been exhausting, so why don't you take a rest first, are you afraid that we may run away in this East Mansion?" Everyone laughed.

Daiyu also laughed and said, "Usually I didn't have such a happy chat with Sister-in-law Zhen, but I didn't know that Sister-in-law's personality is straightforward." You Xiaoxiao pretended to be serious and said, "But you all underestimated me in the past. ..." Everyone laughed again after hearing this.Daiyu didn't have a close relationship with Youshi before, and although she was grateful to the East Mansion for sending her to the doctor, she still felt a little apprehensive.Now the conversation is very happy, she is intelligent by nature, so she knows that You Shi has a really good temper.So he said again: "Sister-in-law, it is said that when we met for the first time, you came here in a hurry before the gift was sorted out. It is really rude..." You Xiaoxiao listened, and smiled: "What gift? Miss Lin, you If you are polite to me, I will be more polite to you in the future, believe it or not!" The words were soft but hard, Daiyu smiled: "Yes, it's just some earthen things from our house, I This gift is not just for my sister-in-law, I still need someone from my sister-in-law!" You Xiaoxiao probably understood what she meant after hearing this, and said, "It's fine for other people, if it's a girl with pretty eyebrows, it's not okay, your sister-in-law There is only one skillful hand around me who knows how to sew..." These days, Daiyu has also learned some needlework from Qiaomei, and often praises her for her neat stitches and bright colors. Hearing You Xiaoxiao say this again, she feels ashamed Really, there was no way to say the rest of the words, and a sad look appeared on his face.

You Xiaoxiao saw that she was almost done teasing her, so she smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I'm just kidding you, Qiaomei is always a good girl, since you opened your mouth, how can I dismiss you?" , but there is one thing, I have to ask her what she means." Then she turned to Qiaomei and said, "You Miss Lin followed me to want you, so it can be seen that you really won Miss Lin's favor there, and this is why you are always sensible and generous. So, just say something, if you want to go with Miss Lin, we will pack up the dowry for you." After hearing this, Daiyu looked at Qiaomei anxiously, lest she would not like it.After listening to You Shi's words, Qiaomei naturally understood what the master meant, and also knew that she was not the kind who would take sugar and vinegar, so after thinking about it, she said: "Since Miss Menglin has favored eyes, the servant will go with Miss Lin." After hearing this, You Xiaoxiao nodded, called Yindie, and whispered a few words in her ear.Yindie went back, and took out a piece of paper after a while.You Xiaoxiao looked at it and handed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu took a closer look and realized that it was Qiaomei's contract of selling herself.She accepted it and said thank you sister-in-law, but she was thinking of finding a chance to return it to Qiaomei.You Xiaoxiao took out another 200 taels of silver ticket to Qiaomei, and said: "This is for you, just keep it." Then she asked: "When you went to Lin's house a few days ago, I will tell you what you have to say." I've said it all, now that you are with Miss Lin, you have to pay attention to her everywhere, if you need to come back and talk to me, just come back." Daiyu heard this and knew that it was You Xiaoxiao's kindness, so she quickly thanked her .As they said that, the two of them discussed again, and only said that Qiaomei was a girl brought back by Daiyu from her hometown, so as to hide it from the eyes of Jia Mu and others.When talking about the girls, Daiyu hesitated and said: "Zicuckoo is in charge of my house now, because the old lady gave it to me, so it's not easy to go past her..." You Xiaoxiao knew that she was in trouble after hearing this.

This girl Zijuan is fine with other things, but it's really because Jia's family gave birth to a son, and Jia's mother sent her to match Baodai. trouble.Daiyu said again: "When I first came to the mansion, I didn't know anything. Zijuan also helped me a lot. If the old lady said she didn't want her back, I wouldn't open my mouth." Generally, I know that the girl is nostalgic.Thinking about the old treasure jade that was found in the Zicuckoo box in the original work when they searched the Grand View Garden, thinking that the girl must have had something on her mind, if she let her develop, the good girl would be spoiled.So he dialed and said: "Of course it's not easy for you to come out and say this. If Zijuan makes a mistake by herself, she can't stay by your side anymore." Daiyu was a little confused after hearing this, You Xiaoxiao thought about this Things can't be rushed, so let's put it down and not mention it for the time being.

When everyone was talking again, Yingchun and Xichun wandered over.Daiyu was very surprised when she saw them, she didn't know when she came to Dongfu.Yingchun knew the most in her heart. Although she didn't have much contact with Daiyu on weekdays, she knew after a few things that she was innocent and not a snobbish person, so she said: "Sister Lin is back, I heard that Uncle Lin It's Daan too, so I'm happy to congratulate you." Seeing that she was gentle and amiable, with the demeanor of a elder sister, Daiyu also smiled and said a few words of thanks for thinking about her.Xichun didn't say a few words to Daiyu, they were not familiar with each other, but seeing Yingchun like this, she giggled and called "Sister Lin." I brought her second sister to play, and originally planned to ask you to have dinner together, but I don’t know that you just came back, I’m afraid you’re tired..." Yingchun also regretted: "It’s a pity, I even told my sister that I will have dinner tonight. Taiping Yan'er, to celebrate Sister Lin's return to Beijing, I have sent the small kitchen to do it..." Seeing their sincerity, Daiyu was really moved, and hurriedly said: "I always have nothing to do on this journey, and I am not tired. I'm just afraid that I will disturb my sister-in-law again."

You Xiaoxiao smiled when she heard this: "Although I am old, I also like being with you little girls, but I will become young and young with your light!" Seeing that everyone was sincere, Daiyu didn't agree If he shied away again, he agreed to stay in the East Mansion for dinner at night.Xichun is the master now, and in the East Mansion, only her and Fengyuan are the boudoirs. At the beginning, You Xiaoxiao deliberately chose a big courtyard with her, so that she could often bring a few close sisters to live there in the future.So he smiled and invited: "Sister Lin, why don't you go to my yard to take a bath and change your clothes..." Yingchun laughed beside her and said, "Why don't you just stay here tonight, and pack up now when you go back. A house that has been unoccupied for a long time must be warmed up for a few days, it would be cheaper to stay with us tonight!" Daiyu was not embarrassed, she just blushed and said, she would be rude after eating, so how could she stay again.You Xiaoxiao knew in her heart that she was afraid of Jia Mu and others picking on her gifts, so she smoothed things over and said: "What are you afraid of, the days will be longer in the future, and it will be the same if you come to live again."

But when Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Lian was coming home, she hurriedly asked the couple to discuss building the yard.When Sister Feng heard that someone reported that the second wife was coming, she knew that was the case, and quickly asked Jia Lian to lie down in the quilt and pretend to sleep. Mrs. Wang hit a nail, and she knew that they were greedy and empty. It was so long ago that we should have a reunion, so we had no choice but to leave first.The next day was the day when everyone in the whole family discussed the relatives' villa. Jia's mother had said that she would not get involved, Jia She pretended to be sick, and Jia Zhen went out to run the bookstore for Lao Tzu, thinking that the Dajian Academy would get on the right track in the future, so they had to talk Finding a suitable bookseller, so I ran outside every day.Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng waited for half a day, and only Mrs. Xing and You Xiaoxiao came.Sister Feng discussed with Jia Lian in the bed, and then hid back to her mother's house.

When Jia Zheng saw a sister-in-law and a nephew and daughter-in-law, he blushed with shame, so he had to excuse himself and leave.Mrs. Wang didn't care if he was there or not, she only talked to Mrs. Xing and You Xiaoxiao.Although she looked down on Mrs. Xing for not being in charge of the family, she was very polite when she wanted to use her. As soon as she opened her mouth to call sister-in-law, Mrs. Xing said in a daze: "Your elder brother asked me to tell you. I don’t have any spare money, and you are building a yard to get things from our old mansion. Second wife, it’s not like I’m saying something you don’t like to hear. For such a big honor and ostentation of the empress, I’m afraid it’s okay to get some old things to prevaricate. Disrespectful! Our master said that you can’t use some old things in the provincial hospital.” Mrs. Wang was taken aback by what she said, and then asked angrily: “I don’t understand what sister-in-law said. Don’t you want to take a penny from the big house in the other courtyard?” After hearing this, Mrs. Xing had already planned a countermeasure with Jia Amnesty to block her: “What do you mean that you don’t take a penny from the big house? Second wife, in this public account Do you withdraw the money? If you withdraw it, you should know that half of it belongs to our big house!" Although the money in the public account cannot be spent in the big house, it is still shared by the two houses in name. The money in the public account must not be kept.Being blocked by Mrs. Xing like this, Mrs. Wang suddenly had nothing to say.

Turning to look at Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law, You Xiaoxiao preemptively talked about the construction of the academy in Huifang Garden. Mrs. Wang was choked and speechless, and because it was Jia Jing's idea, and this matter was originally It's not good to force it casually, and then shut up and not talk about it.You Xiaoxiao took out the bank note when she saw that she was also savvy, and said a lot of hard work in the house, and she tried her best. Madam Wang knew that she was lying, but compared to the penniless big house, this is already considered good too much.So she was more polite to You Xiaoxiao than to Mrs. Xing
