[Qing Chuan + Red House] Lin's eldest daughter

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Mohan guessed that the person must be Wang Xifeng.

I saw her pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf hanging eyebrows, slender figure and coquettish physique, pink face full of spring power, red lips before smiling, dressed in radiant colors and embroidered brilliantly. If that is like a fairy concubine.

The two sisters hurriedly got up again to salute.

Wang Xifeng grabbed the two of them, looked around, and praised repeatedly, "I never thought that there would be such a symbolic figure in the world. I can't blame my ancestors for thinking about it day and night. I just wish I couldn't take it home. Well, I just feel sorry for that aunt of mine who was willing to let go so early!" As she spoke, she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

Jia's mother scolded with a smile, "Don't recruit us again, that's why you persuaded your two younger sisters."

"This must be Lian's sister-in-law?" Lin Mohan asked with a smile.

Jia Mu was a little curious, "How did you know it was her?"

But Lin Mohan joked: "Cousin Lian just said when I came here, that the most pungent daughter-in-law will be your sister-in-law when people see you."

Everyone immediately laughed.

"Okay, you teased me the first time we met, it's time to fight." Wang Xifeng feigned anger.

Mother Jia bent down with a smile, and only hugged her granddaughter in her arms, "If you want to beat your man back to the house, don't bully my granddaughter."

Wang Xifeng's face collapsed when he heard the words, and he wiped the corners of his eyes pretendingly with a handkerchief, "The old ancestor really likes the new and dislikes the old, he only praised me yesterday, but today when the two younger sisters come, I am so unwelcome." That's it, let's go, I'll just go."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." Lin Mohan shouted, with a narrow smile on her face, "Cousin Lian's original words were that the most pungent and beautiful daughter-in-law... "

Everyone laughed and made jokes one after another.

Wang Xifeng blushed for a moment, "Look, look, look, my ancestors always said I was that savage monkey, but today I see someone who is even worse than me." As he spoke, he stepped forward to wring her mouth.

Lin Mohan just laughed and hid in Jiamu's arms.

After a while of joking and laughing, the relationship between the two sisters and the crowd became much closer. The girl brought tea and fruit, and they ate and chatted.

"Girl Feng, is the yard prepared for your sister ready?" Mother Jia asked.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, old ancestor, it has already been cleaned up. I followed Lian Er's letter earlier, saying that the younger sisters were accompanied by twenty servants. I thought that the ordinary small courtyard might not be able to be arranged. This is both good and good. It needs to be spacious, and after thinking about it, I cleaned up the plum garden."

"Plum garden? It's an elegant yard. I remember that there were many plum trees planted in that yard. The scenery is always very beautiful in winter. At that time, it would be elegant for you sisters to cook wine and enjoy the plum blossoms there. The good thing is that it is a little far away from my old lady."

Lin Mohan first thanked Wang Xifeng, and then said to Jia Mu: "Grandma, don't be sad, no matter how far you are, it's just a few more steps, and I have to bother you from time to time."

Lin Daiyu also pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter when grandma wants to see us, just send someone to call us."

Only then did Jia's mother sweep it away, and ironed the post with all her heart.

Aunt Xue heard that the two sisters had brought twenty servants, and thought that the three of her family had only brought a few, so she asked curiously: "But the maid and mother-in-law of the rough envoy also brought?"

Lin Mohan just laughed, "Each of us two sisters has a first-class maid and four second-class maids, and two nurses who have been serving by our side since we were young, so we know our habits and preferences the most. , so I simply brought it together this time, and it saves me a lot of time to find a new one, which is more troublesome. Besides, the other insignificant little girls and the rough envoy I never brought it with me, and I will have to trouble Lian's sister-in-law to help send some people over."

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard these words. Based on this calculation, plus the maid and woman in the yard, that little girl would have to be served by 30 to [-] people?

Mother Jia sighed, "This is the ostentation that a real daughter of a family should have. It is only normal for ten or eight to serve in an ordinary house." Why are you rich?

Jiamu glanced at Sanchun and the people behind Baochai, she shook her head silently, and couldn't help but feel sad for a moment, it's true that one generation is not as good as the next.

At this time, Mrs. Wang, who had been acting like a wooden figure, suddenly opened her mouth and asked Wang Xifeng, "Have you ever let go of the monthly money?"

Wang Xifeng replied: "It's all over."

Mother Jia showed displeasure, and glanced at Mrs. Wang coldly.

Lin Mohan smiled suddenly, and said to Hongfeng, Lue and others behind him: "Go outside and ask someone to bring the box in." Then he turned to Mother Jia and said, "The old housekeeper at home is being served by his father. I ordered you to come to the capital to take care of some properties, and today I will drop us two sisters into the mansion, and I should leave in a while, and ask him to come in and say hello to my grandmother?"

Since it is said that he is an "old" butler, there is no need to be too shy.

Jia Mu hurriedly asked someone to invite her.

After a while, the maids came in carrying the boxes, followed by an old man in his fifties, who was Uncle Zhong.

Before he could greet him, Jia's mother hurriedly called to stop, and kept asking about Lin Ruhai's body and the situation at home.

Uncle Zhong still saluted in a proper manner, and then answered one by one. At the end, he sighed: "Master is not young now, but there are only two girls under his knees. I am really reluctant to give up, but there is no mistress at home." , there is no one who can educate the two girls, so I have to trouble you when you are old. The master often said that the old lady is from the Marquis Mansion, and she is also a dignified old lady. If the two girls can be raised under your knees, he will I couldn't be more reassured."

Mother Jia was obviously very satisfied and happy with her son-in-law's trust and flattery. She immediately said, "Please reassure your son-in-law, I will take care of the two girls, and everything will be taken care of properly. As long as you have Baoyu, you must have it." Their share is my heart and soul, and I feel the same pain."

Uncle Zhong just smiled, and bowed deeply to Mother Jia, "I'm sorry to bother you. This is 4000 taels of silver, which are used by the two girls and the servants for a year. Please accept it, the old lady. "

For an ordinary family of three or four, the annual chewing cost is only 30 taels. This 4000 taels is enough for the two sisters to eat delicacies from mountains and seas every day.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Wang Xifeng couldn't help looking at the small box with burning eyes, and there seemed to be some light in their eyes.

But Jia's mother suddenly pulled her face down and said angrily: "Son-in-law is hitting me in the face? My granddaughter is here, and she has to spend money to buy food and drink. What is this called!"

Lin Daiyu persuaded: "Grandmother should accept it. In this way, if we really want something, we can say it, right? It's not easy to eat and drink for nothing and pick and choose. Grandma just treats it as pitiful and pitiful." We, so that we can live as we please."

Mother Jia was slightly taken aback, looked at her granddaughter's anxious eyes, then glanced at Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others sitting under her eyes, and sighed in her heart.

Her grandmother is a direct relative, so she will not dislike her granddaughter, but what about these aunts and sisters-in-law?

Lin Mohan also persuaded: "There are more than 20 people in our group. If we are only visiting for three or two days, even three or two months, there is no need to see others like this. We are here to live permanently. There is no reason for this year. I know how much the expenses are, so how can I be ashamed? On the contrary, I feel uncomfortable, so it’s better for us to add the expenses ourselves, just like what my sister said, if there is something I want to eat and drink in the future, then I can talk about it ah."

"That's all, girl Feng, you just take it." Mother Jia sighed lightly, took the hands of the two granddaughters, and seeing Wang Xifeng took the box with a happy face, she said, "This money is just for a while." It is more than enough to set up a large table, and you and your two younger sisters must not be neglected in the future, and the food and clothing expenses are all compared to Baoyu's arrangement."

Wang Xifeng promised again and again, "The old ancestor can rest assured, even if I neglect myself, I will never neglect my two younger sisters!"

Mother Jia nodded, and said to her two granddaughters: "Since grandma has accepted the money, you can just live in peace in the future. If you have any requirements on weekdays, you can just find it, or you can find Feng girl. You don't have to." I'm afraid people will say it." While speaking, his eyes seemed to glance at the two daughters-in-law.

The two sisters agreed with a smile, and ordered someone to open the box.

Lin Mohan personally went to take out the two small boxes inside, and an indescribable fragrance wafted out the moment he opened it, "This is an agarwood bracelet, my grandmother often wears it on weekdays, it is always good for the body Yes, this other box is agarwood, and when grandma goes to bed at night, the girl will burn it, and she will be able to sleep until dawn."

Xue Baochai who was sitting below flashed his eyes, and said: "Often Taoist Shentanlongmusk refers to agarwood, sandalwood, ambergris and musk, but the four famous fragrances are headed by agarwood, and their fragrance is quiet Elegant, burning it can make people calm down and fall asleep peacefully...Only the finest agarwood takes hundreds or even thousands of years to form. It’s been top grade for hundreds of years.”

Everyone was speechless when they heard the words, "It's so precious?"

"That's right, how many rich merchants can't buy such a high-quality agarwood with gold, and only those with a deep heritage can have such a collection." Xue Baochai looked at the two sisters of the Lin family, and she didn't know. How do you feel? It is said that the Xue family is a millionaire, but it is absolutely impossible to hand out such a treasure as a gift.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the servants of the Rong Mansion in that room changed, and they looked at the two sisters of the Lin family with joy and flattery.

They thought they were poor relatives, but who would have thought that they were from a family with such a rich family background, and even if some of them were exposed through the cracks of their fingers, it was enough for them to fill their purses.

Lin Mohan smiled lightly: "No matter how precious it is, it's just an object. If it can really benefit my grandmother, it will be considered valuable."

Hearing this, Jia's mother was very moved for a moment, she just smiled and said: "From now on, my two granddaughters are my top-notch, and none of you can compare."

Mrs. Xing only looked at the two sisters of the Lin family with bright eyes, "If anyone can give me such a precious thing, it's even for me to treat it as my daughter." She was obviously begging for something.

Mother Jia sneered, and gave her a slap in the face, "What kind of shabby householder are you to be assigned to my granddaughter as a mother? As an elder, it's the first time I saw the younger generation, and I didn't give anything to the younger generation. It’s such a shameless person, it’s such a shame!” After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Yuanyang: “Go and open my storeroom, and take those two brocades and send them to the plum garden. .”

Agarwood is the first of the four fragrances, and Yunjin is the first of the four famous brocades. It is known as every inch of brocade and every inch of gold. Although it is not as rare as agarwood, it is also very precious and rare. The two horses in the warehouse were carefully preserved in the early years. None of them are willing to give.

The two sisters, Lin Mohan and Lin Daiyu, were not ignorant, so they hurriedly said "No way" when they heard this.

Jia Mu feigned anger, "If you don't want it, then take back the aloes and the bracelet!"

The two gave up when they heard the words, they could only laugh and say: "This will miss the good things of grandma."

Not to mention how many people here are silently sour, but that Mrs. Xing is red-faced, ashamed and annoyed, secretly scolding the old lady for being too shameless, telling her not to come down in front of so many juniors and servants, it is really true hateful.

Lin Mohan glanced at her with a smile, then ordered the girl to take out all the remaining things in the box and give them to everyone one by one.

Mrs. Xing's is a set of ruby ​​hair, which is exquisite in workmanship and full of materials, and is very valuable. Immediately, Mrs. Xing's anger turned into joy, and she blossomed into joy.

Lin Mohan was narrow-minded, knowing that Mrs. Wang is also a lover of money, but she only gave her a set of scriptures, and said solemnly: "I wanted to be like my first aunt, but I only heard that my second aunt is a person who is dedicated to Buddha. I'm afraid I don't have much interest in these gold and jade, so after thinking about it, I specially dug up a set of Buddhist scriptures from home and gave it to my second aunt, I don't know if my second aunt likes it?"

Mrs. Xing let out a "puchi" laugh, and looked at Mrs. Wang's stiff face with a sneer on her face, "You don't know, your second aunt is illiterate."

Mrs. Wang's face was darkened, and she glared at Mrs. Xing fiercely.

Lin Mohan was taken aback, blushed, and hurriedly said: "Damn it, it's my fault, I didn't inquire clearly in advance, so don't blame the second aunt..."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Mother Jia stopped her directly, and said, "Although she can't read, she really loves to recite Buddha's name. Your gift is just right, just ask the girl to read to her."

The old lady said so, what else can Mrs. Wang do?I had no choice but to take a deep breath and said with a smile: "The old lady is exactly what she said, this gift is really sent to my heart, please don't worry about it."

Lin Mohan breathed a sigh of relief, showing a shy smile, "As long as Second Aunt likes it."

The rest of the people also got their own small gifts. Women are just jewelry, and those of higher seniority are more expensive. Although the styles of peers are different, the value is not much different. In addition, Jia Zheng prepared An ancient painting, for Jia Amnesty was an ancient fan, for Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others, it was all the Four Treasures of the Study... Before the man arrived, the things were collected by the female relatives of each family .

Sanchun wore almost the same clothes on weekdays, but today she got a few pieces of unique jewelry, she was really happy, and she went forward to thank the Lin family sisters one after another.

Seeing this, Jia's mother let go of her two granddaughters and said with a smile, "You sisters, go to the side and talk."

So, Lin Mohan and Lin Daiyu got together with Sanchun, Xue Baochai and others, and chatted in a low voice.

The loyal uncle said: "Seeing that the two girls are quite comfortable, the old slave feels more relieved. It's getting late now, and it's time for the old slave to leave."

Mother Jia wanted to stay for dinner, but Uncle Zhong only said that there were still many things that he had not dealt with when he first arrived in the capital. In desperation, Mother Jia had to allow him to leave, "Girl Feng, you go see it off."

Wang Xifeng led Uncle Zhong out as he said, and when he was about to reach the outer courtyard a few steps, Uncle Zhong stopped.

"Second Grandma, stay here." Uncle Zhong cupped his hands and bent over, "The two girls in my family will have to be taken care of by Second Grandma Lao."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stopped him, "You can't do it at your age."

Uncle Zhong smiled slightly, and while she was helping him, he twisted his hand and quietly stuffed a pouch into her hand, "The old slave will leave."

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then hid to the side and opened her purse to have a look, she immediately beamed with joy, "This Lin family is open and bright." Originally, she was worried because the gifts she received were the same as Li Wan's, but she It's extremely annoying to think of her as the same as Li Wan, who always thinks highly of herself and looks down on Li Wan, but now she has no opinion at all.

Ping'er also saw the silver bills inside, and said with a smile: "Grandma and Grandma Zhu are both sister-in-laws. On the surface, it's not easy for Miss Lin to treat them differently. This is not the case in private. It can be seen that everyone knows this house Who should I hold on to?"

Wang Xifeng was proud in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just hid his purse, and reprimanded: "Okay, it's so ugly to say that it's so ugly to say that it's so ugly, and you see that people are so generous, why do you need to be greedy? Finger Random leaks from the cracks in the head, and there are countless people rushing to curry favor with others. They just know that I am in charge of the house and give me face, but they never gave me this money. How dare you treat him harshly? The old lady has to skin me first."

After walking two steps, he said again: "Go to the plum garden yourself to see if everything is in order. If there are things like the decorations in the house that are not on the table, they will be removed quickly, and only the warehouse will be opened for replacement." Well, go, with a family background like the Lin family, the two younger sisters have seen the world, so don't let people feel that they have been slighted or neglected."

Ping'er couldn't help laughing at her when she heard the words, "Grandma is willing to part with it today."

Wang Xifeng gave her a blank look, "It's just for taking it out and using it. The picture looks good on the surface, and they can't take it away. After all, it's still Jia's stuff. What's there to be reluctant about?"

"Grandma is becoming more and more shrewd." Ping'er sneered, turned around and headed towards the plum garden.

Wang Xifeng cursed secretly, "Little hoof", and continued to go to Jiamu's courtyard. When they reached the door, they met Jia Baoyu, and they went in together.

Jia Baoyu had already known that two new sisters had arrived at home, they were the two girls from his aunt's family, and he couldn't wait to come and get to know each other, but he didn't know that as soon as he stepped into the house, he was a little crazy.

"Hey, does this look silly?" Wang Xifeng laughed at him, "I've always been the one who likes girls with symbols the most, this time you met two fairy-like characters, but are you so happy?"

Jia Baoyu suddenly came back to his senses, blushing, and didn't dare to look at the Lin sisters again, so he plunged into Jia's mother's arms and acted like a baby.

Jia Mu hugged him tightly and rubbed him, crying heartily.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help being a little dazed when she saw Jia Baoyu before, but now seeing this scene, she couldn't help opening her small mouth with a look of astonishment.

She is already ten years old, and she is still embarrassed to be so intimately embraced by the old lady just now, but this Jia Baoyu seems to be one year older than her, and an 11-year-old boy is still acting like a baby?

"Go and greet your sister Lin." Mother Jia patted him lightly.

Just now Jia Baoyu came out of Jia Mu's arms, blushing and came to the two sisters. The three of them greeted each other politely, and they were considered acquainted.

Jia Baoyu looked at Sister Lin, blushing, and looked at Sister Lin again, but became even more bewildered, "I've seen this sister before."

Lin Daiyu's heart skipped a beat, but she also had a vague feeling of déjà vu, she couldn't explain clearly.

When Jia Mu heard the words, she laughed and scolded, "You are talking nonsense again. How have you ever seen it?"

Lin Mohan naturally didn't want to hear him say something like "old acquaintance", so he only stopped him with a smile, and said: "We all have half of the Jia family's blood, but my younger sister is very similar to my mother. At first glance, brother Bao will inevitably feel a little kind, but isn't it just a bit of the shadow of the Jia family."

Jia's mother couldn't help but scrutinized Lin Daiyu's eyes, then nodded, "That's right, Yu'er's eyebrows and eyes do have some shadows of our family."

Jia Baoyu felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't explain why, he just stared blankly at Lin Daiyu, feeling very close to her, so he got closer and wanted to talk to her, but for some reason, he felt Lin Daiyu on the side inexplicably. My sister looked at him with cold eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and he stuttered when he spoke.

Mrs. Wang was sulking because of the gift just now, and now she saw her precious phoenix egg lingering on Lin Daiyu with an obsessive expression, she became more and more annoyed, her face drooped, and she opened her mouth.

"Baoyu, have you finished your homework for the past few days? When your father comes back later, if you can't answer the questions, you should be punished."

Jia Baoyu's face turned pale immediately, and he trembled when he stood where he was, which shows how afraid he is of his father.

Seeing this, Jia's mother felt distressed. She hugged him into her arms and scolded Mrs. Wang, "Why are you scaring the child so well? Baoyu is pressured to study every day. How about it? You have to force Baoyu to be like Zhu'er before you are satisfied?"

These words are heartbreaking.

As soon as Madam Wang's heart ached, her face turned pale, and Li Wan beside her couldn't help wiping away her tears.
