Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Jia Mu was talking to Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, and so on. She was very happy to see her coming, and said with a smile, "you don't have to be greedy, you have yours."

Sister Feng came forward hehe. It turned out that Mrs. Wang was looking at a set of clothes, shoes and socks that Daiyu made for Jia Mu. After looking at it carefully, she couldn't help admiring: "The clothes are so exquisite, and only sister Lin is as clever as them." Can make such delicate needlework."

It turns out that what Daiyu made was a double-breasted sash with peacock feathers embroidered with bluegrass patterns all over the place. , white as the main color, embroidered Ganoderma lucidum orchid grass with multi-colored woolen thread, twisted gold thread, and twisted silver thread. , Eight Auspicious, Peach, Seawater Jiangya and other patterns, the stitches are fine, the colors are bright, and the embroidery is very delicate and delicate.

In addition, the matching shoes and socks, forehead wipes, handkerchiefs, and purses are all very delicate.

In particular, the pair of beaded Wufu holding birthday shoes are made of light yellow satin and black plain satin, and are inlaid with rice beads. The bats and flower patterns on the upper are all made of colorful satin. .

Everyone looked at it and praised it, saying that Daiyu was skillful.

Seeing that there were many boxes and cages piled up beside the kang, Sister Feng knew that it was Daiyu's filial piety to Jia's mother. Let us open our eyes too." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, as if to help open the box himself.

Li Wan pushed her and said with a smile: "Why are you in a hurry, this is not for you, yours are still in a few boxes over there, if you can't help it, just rummage through it yourself."

Everyone who said it laughed.

Daiyu has made very thorough preparations this time, starting from Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Wang, Aunt Xue, Li Wan, Sister Feng, Baoyu, Baochai Tanchun Xiangyun, etc. Every day, every sister who is close to each other, each has a share. According to each person's status, it is appropriate to match each gift, and each gift is wrapped and sticky.

Sister Feng said with a smile: "I don't need to worry about it. I won't run away anyway. Let's take a look at the old lady's first. If there is a good one, look for it quietly, and the old lady won't know."

Everyone laughed up and down when they heard the words. Mother Jia laughed tears, pointed at her and said with a smile: "You narrow-minded bastard, I wonder why you are so industrious. That's what you came up with!"

While talking, Yuanyang has led people to open the cage, and count everything, only to see that it is a red sandalwood Buddha of Infinite Life,

A walking stick inlaid with eight treasures, a piece of seven-foot coral, a piece of red sandalwood inlaid with teeth and emerald sea houses, a string of coral rosary beads, and a string of beeswax rosary beads.

In front of the Buddha, there is a light yellow duoluo cloth hanging on the door of the embroidered niche, and a picture of Guanyin mounted on silk brocade, which is also written by a celebrity.

In addition, there are many local objects, embroidered paintings, incense fans, silk and satin on various colors, Longjing tea before the rain, etc. from Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Among them is a palm-sized small box of huanghuali carvings, engraved with landscape figures in the south of the Yangtze River.

Everyone wondered: "It's such an exquisite box, what's in it, so precious?"

The mandarin ducks presented the box to Jiamu, who was also a little curious. When she opened it, she found a pair of Canaan fragrant wood bracelets inlaid with gold beads and the word longevity. The bracelets are made of Canan fragrant wood. Inlaid with the characters "Shou" and "Shou" made of small gold beads, the mouth is lined with golden silk milk Ding patterns.

Sister Feng looked at it carefully, and praised: "This agarwood is rare, and it is not easy to make a pair of bracelets."

After hearing this, Jia Mu pointed at her and smiled, "Everyone says you have never passed by or seen it, and you don't even recognize this one. What will you say tomorrow when I see you?"

Sister Feng wondered: "I clearly see the truth, could it be that this is agarwood?"

Tanchun and the others were also a little puzzled, and Aunt Xue and others laughed and said, "How dare she compare to the old lady based on how she passed by and met her? Why didn't the old lady teach her, even us listen to it."

Sister Feng also laughed and said, "Good ancestor! Teach me!"

Mother Jia smiled and said to Aunt Xue: "This is Ganan incense, also known as Qinan incense and eggplant incense. It is a variant of agarwood. It is mostly produced in Tianzhu, Siam and other places. The core material is an extremely precious incense. .

It is said that the big ants build holes in the fragrant wood, and the fragrant honey that the big ants eat stays in the wood. For a long time, the fragrant wood is not dead, which is called a raw knot, and the dead wood becomes a sugar knot.The sugar knots turn black, the gold thread knots are yellow in color, and the fragrance is overflowing. Wearing it in summer can drive away evil spirits and avoid pollution, and it can also be used as medicine.

As the saying goes, an inch of agarwood is worth an inch of gold, but this Canaan incense is even more precious. If there is no chance, the thousand-year-old agarwood may not be able to grow an inch of Canaan incense. "

Everyone nodded in admiration after hearing this, and Li Wan said: "Sister Lin really has a heart, there is nothing that is filial to an old lady without care."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "This is Sister Lin's filial piety. It's hard to find these good things for her. There is nowhere to buy them when I have money."

Jia Mu said, "This thing is worth it.

Forget it, it's Yu'er's kindness, and I made this set of clothes, shoes and socks with my own hands. I don't know how much work it took. I am very happy to see it. "

During the conversation, the gifts of other people were also counted. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing belonged to a golden bell and jade chime, eight new-style silks and satins from the south of the Yangtze River, and a red sandalwood seat and Suzhou embroidery kang screen. Yu Wai was the same as Jiamu.

Aunt Xue was reduced by one class. Both Li Wan and Sister Feng had six gauzes of fresh Jiangnan styles, four gold rings inlaid with precious stones, as well as fans, fragrant beads, Suzhou embroidery, etc.

Baochai, Yingchun and other sisters, in addition to fans, incense beads, incense powder, lake brushes, Hui ink and other earthenware, also have four pieces of gauze, two gold and jade rings, and a pair of ivory chips for Xiangyun alone. , leopard, deer, deer, etc., are extremely finely carved.

Baoyu is a set of the four treasures of the study, two new books, and a pair of bamboo and ivory pen holders.

Mrs. Xing has been grinning from ear to ear for a long time after she got these things, and Daiyu gave her the same gift as Mrs. Wang, she didn't favor one over the other, and she liked it more and more, she quickly laughed and said: "My niece has always been filial, now We are also under the influence of the old lady."

At this time, Mother Jia was very happy. When she heard that she couldn't speak, she paused for a while, and then she was speechless.

Mrs. Wang has been suffering from a heartache since Daiyu left, and now she also smiled and said: "Young lady is too polite."

Jia's mother said: "Girl Lin lived here before, and your aunts have loved her for a few years. Now she should be a little bit filial."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Miss Lin has always been a lovely person, she was born by a coincidence, and now she is even more capable."

Sister Feng is ordering people to distribute the gifts to each house according to the lottery, and Xiangyun's share is also sent to Shihou's mansion. Hearing this, she said with a smile: "That's right, the second master Cailian said that sister Lin is now the head of my uncle's house. Master, you have taken care of the entire Lin family properly, and you are better than me, I didn't believe it before, but now I have to be convinced by seeing this behavior, it really looks like the head of the family."

Li Wan was also happy for Daiyu, nodded and smiled and said, "In the past few years, I have watched with a cold eye. Sister Lin is really smart, she has the ability to advance and retreat, and she doesn't care about dealing with others. Although she is young, she is better than the world. Woolen cloth."

After Daiyu left, Jia's mother was really worried. Now that Lin Ruhai is recovering and seeing that Daiyu's behavior is becoming more and more considerate, she is very happy. Besides, she always likes Li Wan's virtuousness and friendship with Daiyu, so she laughs when she hears this. Said: "Although your sister Lin is clever, she is still young. When she comes back, you need to be taught by your sister-in-law."

Mrs. Wang originally listened with a smile, but now

After listening to Jia's mother's words, she seemed to be sure that Daiyu would return to Jia's house again, so she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy again.

Li Wan also heard Jia Mu's implication, and paused slightly. Could it be that Jia Mu hadn't dispelled the idea of ​​Shuangyu getting married? Use us."

Sister Feng was also thoughtful in her heart, she glanced at Li Wan, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law said, how can we beat the old lady by coincidence, the old lady can just teach us the skill of pressing the bottom of the box, and it will be enough for us. It's all over."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and said in unison.

Jia's mother became more and more happy, and she talked and laughed again, and then everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms.

Sister Feng and Jia Lian haven't seen each other for several months, and their little farewell is better than their newlyweds, so they have something to say.

Time flies, and it is another year of autumn in a blink of an eye.

Last September, Yuan Chun was canonized as a virtuous concubine, and the concubine was allowed to go home to visit relatives. Therefore, the Jia family has been busy building the family-visiting villa this year. One person is divided into two persons, and even Li Wan is often called to help and take care of some chores.

Early this morning, after Li Wan got up to wash and wash, Bi Yue came to fetch her clothes.

Seeing that she was wearing a moon white embroidered bamboo leaf embroidered soft silk skirt and an autumn-colored horse-face skirt, Xiuzhu couldn't help frowning and said: "You are also confused, it's cold today, why did you bring this set of clothes out? "

Biyue looked down, and said with a smile, "I'm so busy!" After that, she hurried back to her room to unpack the box again, and took out another moon white cotton silk jacket, and a plain white satin bottom with silver patterns embroidered with folded branches of loquats. A pair of lapels and a water-blue embroidered cotton skirt, which Li Wan puts on.

Xiuzhu picked out another pair of golden silk beaded lantern pendants for her to wear. Li Wan looked at the mirror for a moment, then nodded, and when he went out of the room, there was a message from Wu Xindeng's house: "I owe you a debt in the garden. The curtains and embroidered curtains are all in place, please check it with grandma."

Suyun took the list and read: "A pile of makeup pythons, carved silk and ink, and forty curtains of various sizes in silk and silk. One hundred orangutan felt curtains, fifty Xiangfei bamboo curtains, five golden silk rattan and red lacquered bamboo curtains. Ten hangings, fifty black lacquered bamboo curtains, and one hundred colorful threaded flower curtains."

After hearing this, Li Wan ordered the embroidered bamboo to accept it and register it.

Not long after Wu Xindeng's visit, Wang Xing's daughter-in-law, who was in charge, came back and said, "Second Mistress said that it was already October, and she should replace the cotton curtains and bedding. My wife and Second Mistress were there to collect gold and silver utensils. Kong'er, ask Grandma to watch over the arrangement first."

Li Wan nodded and said: "Got it." Turning around, she called Danju over and said: "You bring someone to draw up a list of colors and pieces, go to the front and get it, and then distribute it to each room."

Danju agreed, and said with a smile: "I also said yesterday that the curtains and furnishings in our house should also be changed. Grandma, do you follow the usual routine or something?"

Li Wan thought for a while, since the Lantern Festival will visit relatives after the next year, he should not be too plain, so he said: "Except for the pine flower, water green, and sapphire blue lake crepe cotton curtains on the doors of my inner room, the rest are made of red silk." Let’s go. On these two kangs, we used pads planted with lotus branches bordered by gold and silver threads.”

Danju agreed, and took Suyun Biyue and others to cook.

After more than half an hour, Danju and others came back, followed by a dozen women and daughters-in-law carrying boxes.

Li Wan ordered Danju to open the box, and asked Suyun to take the brochure, and handed it over to Wang Xing's family, saying: "In this hall, there are twelve red satin and gold chair wraps, four table surrounds, twelve chair cushions, and four bamboo covers. , and the foreshadowing of this pair of big red vertical line foreign gold beaters, the big red duo Lai plate with golden cloud bats, belonged to the old lady's house.

These 24 pieces of red satin embroidered three-blue flowered chairs, 24 chair cushions, [-] bamboo covers, eight table surrounds, four big red money python pillows, two autumn-colored money python mattresses, two big red ocean The blankets are all from Rongxi Hall.

These pairs of peach red satin embroidery and scarlet yarn belonged to the three girls' rooms. "

Dan Ju and his party said that everyone took notes together, and counted the number of pieces one by one. After half a day's work, the delivery was clear.

After counting, Wang Xing's family led people to move them to the Chuhuamen, called a few servants in, handed over everything outside to them, and handed over the inside to the daughter-in-law in charge of the class.

Li Wan also ordered Xiuzhu to go to Fengjie's courtyard, and took the silver, rice, salt, vegetables, firewood, etc. from the two Buddhist temples of Qingxuguan and Shuiyue nunnery, as well as the incense candles and flower offerings of the two Hesi Temples. Zhixiao specially sent someone to do it separately.

At that time, there was an endless stream of people talking back and forth, and the trouble didn't end until the beginning of Chen Zhengsi.

Xiuzhu said: "Grandma hasn't eaten anything since she got up early in the morning, let them prepare the meal."

Only then did Li Wan feel his stomach was empty, and said with a smile, "I've been making trouble all morning, and now I feel a little hungry." Xiuzhu hurriedly called for the meal, and Li Wan ate the meal, and checked the village again. After reading the account book sent by the police, I felt sore all over my body, so I leaned on the imperial concubine's couch to take a rest.

Going to sleep hazily, he saw a person approaching with a smiling face and calling "Auntie", Li Wan only felt familiar, and after looking at it for a while, he remembered that it was Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Qin in the East Mansion. Looking around, he saw a vast expanse of whiteness,

Can't help but wonder: "Rong's daughter-in-law? Where is this?"

Qin Shi didn't speak anymore, just smiled and waved, motioning for Li Wan to follow her.

Li Wan was in a daze at this moment, and couldn't remember Qin Keqing's death, so he followed in a daze.

I don't know how long I walked, and came to a strange mansion in a daze, walked into a room, and saw many people surrounded by a moon cave bed, Jia Lan was lying on the bed with a pale face, breathless, muttering Swap 'Mom'.

Li Wan suddenly turned pale with shock, and called out "Lan'er" twice, but Jia Lan couldn't hear her voice, and his face became paler and paler, and his anger was as thin as silk.

Li Wan was very anxious, but Qin's family had disappeared, no one paid any attention to his shouts, he rushed over in a hurry, but he was in vain, and he woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the sun was in the middle of the day, and there were scattered flowers on the screen window, so I knew it was a dream.

Danju and Suyun were doing needlework outside, when they heard the movement, they hurriedly raised the bamboo curtain and walked in.I saw Li Wan lying on a small pear rattan couch, looking at a picture of "fishing, woodcutters, plowing and reading" on the wall alone.

This picture was drawn by Jia Lan in the old year. When Li Wan saw it and liked it, he ordered someone to frame it and hang it on the wall.

Dan Ju saw that she was in a daze, with fine sweat on her forehead, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said, "Grandma is having a nightmare?"

Li Wan grabbed her hand and said in a daze: "I dreamed about Rong'er's daughter-in-law, and followed her to a place, but saw Lan'er was sick, lying on the bed with a pale face, and kept calling for mother."

Danju and Suyun looked at each other when they heard the words, both of them were terrified, dreaming of a dead person, and such a dream again, it is not a good omen, it should be some bad luck for the elder brother, or grandma is afraid There is something wrong.

It's just that even though they thought so, the two of them dared not say such unlucky words.

Dan Ju calmed down, gathered her spirits and persuaded: "As the saying goes, dreams are reversed. My brother is now in the south of the Yangtze River under the care of Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin. Nothing will happen. Grandma, don't worry."
