The Story of My Aunt in the Red Chamber

Putting aside the matter of the New Year ceremony, Wang Zimeng began to celebrate the New Year wholeheartedly.

As the saying goes: 23 offering sacrifices to Zaotian, 24 writing couplets, 25 making tofu, 26 cutting New Year’s meat, 27 killing a chicken, 28 steaming steamed buns, 29 making wine, making dumplings on New Year’s Eve, worshiping ancestors on the first day, paying New Year’s greetings on the second day, The mouse gets married on the third day, welcomes the gods on the fourth day, breaks the fifth day on the fifth day, sees off the gods on the sixth day, people's day on the seventh day, Shun Xing on the eighth day, Jade Emperor's birthday on the ninth day, and Lantern Festival from the [-]th to the [-]th.

However, Xue's family is still in Xiaozhong this year, so they can't be as lively as in previous years. Everything has been reduced, and this year is quite deserted.For the first time, the two children, who were used to being lively in the honeypot since childhood, experienced the coldness of people's hearts.

This is also the difference between Wang Zimeng and Xue Wangshi. Although Wang Zimeng has never given birth to a child, he has never eaten pork and has never seen a pig run away. Like Xue Wangshi, he protects the child under his wings. Although he protects the child, But it also makes children lose the opportunity to see the wind and rain and grow up.

Therefore, after Wang Zimeng came over, the two brothers and sisters did not hide any matters, big or small. Although the two children were still young, they had experienced many things recently, and they became more calm.Now, in front of Wang Zimeng, she still looks childish, but in front of outsiders, she is quite manageable.

This made Wang Zimeng very pleased, but at the same time sad.The children of the poor are already in charge of the family, but if they can, who would not want their children to be innocent forever.

After the end of the new year and the beginning of spring, Wang Zimeng picked a sunny day, and the whole family left Jinling and went to Yangzhou.Although it is not that they will never return to Jinling, they will still live in Yangzhou for several years. Therefore, even if they are streamlining, they have installed five large ships.

In modern times, it takes more than an hour from Nanjing to Yangzhou by train or car.Now, the Xue family stayed on the boat for half a month before arriving in Yangzhou from Jinling.

At the beginning, everyone had never traveled far or been on a big boat, and they were all excited. Even the two children were surrounded by people and walked on and off the boat several times.But after sitting on the boat for half a month, everyone was a little tired.Although the two sides of the strait are showing some green due to the warming sky, and some smoke is curling up, but no matter how good the scenery is, it can't stand the continuous viewing for half a month!Therefore, when we arrived in Yangzhou and were really down-to-earth, everyone was a little bit overwhelmed.

As soon as the boat landed, a woman who had been sent to Yangzhou to fight the vanguard with the head steward earlier came up to say hello, saying that the head steward was already waiting on the shore, and even Lin's mansion also sent the housekeeper's wife to ask An for help.

Wang Zimeng nodded, he was very grateful for Lin Fu's intentions.Before getting off the boat, someone brought the Lin family's mother-in-law up.After the woman boarded the boat, she bowed to the prince and said, "I have seen my aunt, and my wife is serving me. This time my wife asked the slave to come to see my aunt. My wife said, don't be polite to my aunt. If you need any help, just say, the aunt's house just arrived today, so she won't come to bother you, let's talk about it after the aunt's house settles down."

Wang Zimeng asked someone to help the old woman up, "I would like to thank your wife this time, I am new here, and I will have a lot of places for your wife to help in the future. I am busy today, so I will not I'll keep you here, and when I'm done packing, I'm going to thank your wife in person."

Wang Zimeng asked someone to give the woman a Shang Deng seal, and then asked someone to take it out. He even ordered the people below to be more polite to the people of the Lin family. Those who came to help today will be given a medium seal, and the housekeeper of the Lin family will be given a medium seal. Feng, the servants of the family will each get an extra month's monthly payment.

Hearing the sound of thanksgiving outside, the corner of Wang Zi's mouth curled up.Let people bring Xue Pan and Baochai with them, and they are ready to disembark.

After getting off the boat and getting into the car, Wang Zimeng led the people to the house that had been prepared in advance, leaving the butler behind with the people behind to load and transport the luggage on the boat.

This side of Xue's family was tidying up the house in a hurry, while Jia Min was holding 5-year-old Daiyu in his arms, listening to the reply from the mother-in-law who was sent to pick up Xue's family.When the mother-in-law went down, Daiyu looked at her mother curiously, "Mother, is there any aunt and sister coming?"

"Yes, Daiyu, when your aunt's house is packed, mother will take you to your aunt's house to play. Your aunt's house has a brother Pan who is 4 years older than you, and a sister Baochai who is 3 years older than you." .” Jia Min said with a smile while touching Daiyu’s head.

"Then Daiyu is good, mother will take Daiyu to my aunt's house to play with sister Baochai?" Although 5-year-old Daiyu is not as delicate and sensitive as in Honglou Jia's house, she is indeed a careful girl.

After my younger brother passed away last year, my mother's tears never stopped, and even my father seemed to be several years old.However, the arrival of Aunt Xue's family this time seemed to bring a breath of fresh air to the family.Mother hasn't cried for several days, and even father is more energetic.Little Daiyu decided to love her aunt's family well.

Wang Zimeng took his son and daughter for a rough tour of the house they are currently living in, and decided to live in the main room with four entrances, Baochai lived in the east wing, the west wing was used as a small study, and Xue Pan lived alone in the third entrance. In the main room, the east wing was arranged like a guest room, while the west wing was still used as a study.The following servants and mother-in-law lived in the back room, and the maids lived in the back room.

While the maids were tidying up the house, Wang Zimeng began to name each yard.In modern times, Jia Zheng led a group of people to name the Grand View Garden. Today, she, Wang Zimeng, took her son and daughter to name the new home. Thinking about it makes me feel happy.

Hearing that Xue Pan was arguing with Baochai, Wang Zimeng decided that the place he lived in was called Xiyuan, Baochai’s was called Qinfangzhai, the small study was called Chenyizhai, Xue Pan’s place was called Qinsiyuan, and the guest room was called Jingxuan. upstairs, the study is called Wuyizhai.

It was already late when the names of the places were decided, Wang Zimeng asked someone to set up a table in his Xiyuan, and the three of them ate their first meal in their new home.

Not to mention that after the meal, the three of them took a walk in the large garden between the third and fourth rooms and rested separately.The next day when Wang Zimeng was almost done tidying up at home, he sent someone to deliver a greeting card to Lin's mansion, and made an appointment to visit the next day.

Jia Min was very happy after receiving Wang Zimeng's invitation, and ordered a group of people to clean up here and fiddle with there, and even asked someone to go to the big kitchen to tell them that tomorrow they will clean up a table for waiting tables.If it wasn't for the fact that everyone in the Xue family was still in the filial piety, they would have sent someone to invite a small opera troupe to sing.Even so, he still called two rap ladies to come over the next day.

At the same time, he did not forget to remind Lin Ruhai that Xue Pan will definitely visit him when he leaves the Yamen early tomorrow.Even the clothes that Daiyu will wear tomorrow have been packed out early.

Lin Daiyu felt Jia Min's excitement and was also very excited.These years, she was small and weak at first, and later her younger brother was in poor health. Her mother never took her out, not even a little sister who was friendly with her.Now I know that tomorrow I will be able to see the gentle and generous sister Baochai that my mother said, I am still very happy.
