Evening Shaohua in the Red House

The Sanchun sisters are already rare in the world, but they are not as good as Daiyu. The beauty of Daiyu has a sense of otherworldliness, and she is really a fairyland.

Everyone in the room was also in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.

Daiyu hurriedly came forward to pay respects, and Jia Mu hugged Daiyu, "heart and liver" cried and burst into tears.

Daiyu was sad because of her mother's death, and she couldn't stop crying when she saw Jia's mother like this, and the servants in the house also wept.

Li Wan and Mrs. Xing Wang rushed forward to persuade them, but they were finally persuaded.

Then a servant girl brought a brocade mat and took off her cloak for Daiyu. Daiyu paid a solemn visit to Jiamu.

Jia Mu hurriedly ordered the girl to help Daiyu up, and took her to meet Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Li Wan, and met with the Sanchun sisters for a while, and then sat down beside Jia Mu.

Mrs. Wang nodded to Jin Chuan'er who was beside her, Jin Chuan'er understood, turned around and brought up two colorful lacquer trays with the girl, which were a gift for Daiyu, two new books, two precious inkstones, Two ruler heads, two pairs of new-style gold and silver handles.

Mrs. Wang smiled at Daiyu, "It's a bit too simple for our first meeting."

Daiyu hurriedly got up to thank her, and said, "I don't dare to be, thank you, auntie."

Seeing that she was so courteous, Mrs. Wang was quite satisfied, she nodded and smiled without saying a word.

Mrs. Wang is the most respectful of rules, and she has always acted so that people can't make mistakes, even if she doesn't like Daiyu, she will not be rude.

Li Wan also ordered people to present gifts, which were one class lower than Mrs. Wang's. They were a box of pine smoke and ink, a pair of gold and silver zippers, two ruler heads, and two rings with double dragons playing with pearls.

Mother Jia was very satisfied with this, so she turned to look at Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing couldn't help being stunned, and no one reminded her, she didn't remember the preparation of the gift, she blushed immediately, and hurriedly sent the eldest girl Jin Huan to fetch the gift, and said with a smile to Jia Mu: "I just heard that My niece is here, so I hurried over, but I was careless and left behind the gift."

Everyone knew the reason when they saw her expression, but they just acted as if they didn't know, and agreed with a few words with a smile.

Daiyu lowered her head and focused on the embroidery on her handkerchief.

Mother Jia frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Fortunately, Jin Huan has good legs and feet, so he fetched things in a short time. Mrs. Wang gave a generous gift. If Mrs. Xing is too thin, it will not look good, but Mrs. Xing attaches great importance to money, and if she is too thick, she will be heartbroken. Therefore, Jin Huan pondered for half a day, and took two ruler heads on his own initiative,

Two pairs of gold and silver lockets, two red gold and silk bracelets.

This gift can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and it can only be taken out.However, Mrs. Xing has always been stingy, and she still felt very heartbroken when she saw her, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of everyone, so she had to force herself to suppress her distress, put on a smile on her face, and said to Daiyu: "Things are so simple, my niece, don't be afraid of me." dislike."

Daiyu hurriedly said that she didn't dare, but also thanked Fushen solemnly.

Mrs. Xing knew that her show of courtesy was not as decent as Mrs. Wang's, seeing that Daiyu didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face, she was in a better mood when she treated her like Mrs. Wang, she smiled and praised Daiyu a few words.

After giving the gifts, everyone wentssip again, but they narrate how Daiyu's mother got sick, how she consulted a doctor and took medicine, how she sent her to die for a funeral, etc. Jiamu and Daiyu cried again, until Sister Feng came, and made jokes. Made Jiamu laugh.

Li Wan glanced at Sister Feng and said with a smile, "What are you doing, your forehead is covered with sweat."

Sister Feng wiped the handkerchief casually, and said with a smile: "Just now I watched the people below pack up their things. This time, Sister Lin brought a lot of things, besides the annual gifts prepared by Uncle Lin, there are also Sister Lin's things. There are also soil rituals and special products for each house, etc., a lot of things took a long time to sort out."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she said, "I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. Have all the people brought by your sister Lin been settled?"

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "I have ordered people to arrange dinner, and the nurse and girl who only serve Sister Lin personally are still waiting outside."

Mother Jia ordered Sister Feng to pass on Wang Momo and Xueyan to come in and have a closer look. After asking a question, Fang nodded, ordered someone to bring a purse and fruit to the two of them, and said, "You are all proper people, and I will serve you carefully in the future." girl."

Wang Momo and Xueyan hurriedly thanked each other and agreed.

Wang Momo got up and remembered something, hurriedly took out a letter and handed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu also remembered Lin Ruhai's previous explanation, took the letter and handed it to Mother Jia, saying, "This is what my father asked me to give to my grandmother."

Jia Mu is getting old, her eyesight is not very good, she squinted her eyes for a long time and still can't see clearly, Yuanyang quickly fetched the diorama glasses, Jia Mu put on the glasses, read the letter carefully, and saw that 5000 taels of silver was mentioned at the end As Daiyu's envoy for food and clothing, she immediately frowned and said displeasedly: "Although I'm not doing well here, I can still afford to pay for a bite of food for my granddaughter, so how can I send money here? "

When everyone heard that Lin Ruhai had sent 5000 taels of silver, they couldn't help being surprised.

Sister Feng was also taken aback, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Uncle is too

It's a bit of a heresy, it's all from my own family, no relatives come to visit and pay the money, the rumor is not to make people laugh, let alone how much money can a girl's family spend?The cost of food and clothing is only 600 taels a year to the top of the head. How can such a lot be used? "

Having said that, I am quite moved by the 5000 taels of silver.

After hearing this, Jia Mu nodded and said to Daiyu, "Your sister-in-law is right. Well, you keep the money yourself, and just treat it as daily pocket money."

Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat, but Daiyu got up and said, "Grandmother understands with such kindness, but I'm young, and I can't do anything with this money, not to mention that my father also prepared pocket money for me earlier. It was originally given to the family, and the family will have to worry about my food and daily life in the future, if the family does not accept it, we will feel very sorry."

After Daiyu finished speaking, Mother Wang also hurriedly said: "This is what our master means. Once we use it, we will pay by ourselves, which is the normal way."

When Daiyu first entered the Rongguo Mansion, she was careful in every step and paid attention to everything.She has a delicate mind, and she saw the actions of the servants in Jia's mansion on the way to Beijing. Although she has only been in Rongguo mansion for half a day, she already has a general understanding of the temperament and temperament of the servants in the mansion. If she really keeps these things by herself Yin Zi, I'm afraid that in a few days, people in the mansion will continue to gossip.

Seeing Daiyu's sincerity, Jia's mother couldn't help softening her heart. Besides, she also knew that everyone in the mansion had two eyes of wealth and a decent heart, so she sighed and said, "Since you insist on this, then that's all." .”

He said to everyone in the room: "Although Yu'er said to give it all to the mansion, we can't accept it all against our conscience. How can she make it if she has no money? According to my idea, hand over 4000 taels of money to the official. , I will keep the remaining 1000 taels for her, you must not be jealous, it was originally given by my aunt, and we have taken advantage of it for nothing."

Everyone had different thoughts when they heard the words, but no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all smiled and said: "It should be so."

Jia Mu then said to Sister Feng: "Just like your sister's people, the second girl and the third girl, you go and pick some honest and honest people to serve your sister. Then send someone to the kitchen to spread the word, just say what I say, and in the future, Miss Lin Whatever they like to eat, they just prepare it and send it up, I don't agree with a little bit of contempt!"

With an income of 4000 taels of silver today, Sister Feng was already very happy, she agreed wholeheartedly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my ancestor, I can't fall in love with my sister's character and love. Now that my ancestor is speaking again, how can I dare?" Slack?"

Jia Mu this

Only then was she happy, thinking for a moment that the people around Daiyu were all newcomers, so she entrusted Daiyu with a second-class little girl, Yingge, by her side.

Parrot is a child of the family, and has served in Jiamu's Courtyard since he was a child. He is quite respectable among the servants. With her, it is cheaper to make soup and water in Daiyu's room.

The rest are the same as Yingchun and so on. In addition to the nursing mother since childhood, each of them has four teaching and guiding mothers. In addition to the two girls who are in charge of hairpins and bracelets for washing and bathing, there are four or five little girls who clean the house and come and go.

The people who wait outside are all good people. When they see this, they know that Daiyu is really the person on Jiamu's heart. Although they have their own ideas, they are not dissatisfied. After all, many people have seen that the Lin family has sent a lot of things. In addition, those annual gifts alone cost thousands of taels of silver, and just now I heard Sister Feng said that she brought 5000 taels of silver for Daiyu's food and clothing, and I was even more dissatisfied. a bit.

Everyone chatted and laughed again, the maids came up and removed the tea fruit, Daiyu went to see Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng again, and came back to Jiamu to go to the room for dinner.
