Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

The mother still looked at her without speaking, and said, "There are also some gold and bronze wares, which are worth ten to twenty thousand if sold together with the old lady's."

Mrs. Xing was snickering at Mrs. Wang's hemorrhage. Seeing Mother Jia's eyes turned to her, she hurriedly said: "The old lady knows me. She has never been willing to eat or use it. She just wants to save some money for old age. It’s only 5000 taels.”

When Jia's mother heard the words, she ignored her, Jia Amnesty also gave out [-] yuan from her private house, and Jia Zheng also gave out [-] yuan from her private house.

At this time, even if you sell a shop or a village, you can't sell it for a good price in a hurry, and if you let outsiders know, the imperial concubine and empress will lose all face

Jia Zhen suggested: "Our family is not like the nouveau riche family of Concubine Wu's family. We can only go outside the city to see the place to build a garden. Now we only enclose the Huifang Garden in our mansion, and then follow the old garden in this mansion. The people’s skirt house has been demolished, and a separate courtyard can be built.”

Jia Lian made some calculations and hurriedly said: "In this way, if we use a lot of old objects, it only takes about 100 million taels of silver to complete the project."

There was still a shortfall of hundreds of thousands, and Mother Jia had no choice but to say to Jia Zheng: "My aunt is going to Beijing to report on her work. Have you written to my aunt to announce the good news?"

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "I have already written a letter to announce the good news, but I haven't received the reply yet."

Jia Mu said: "Write another letter, and say to borrow 70 taels of silver from my two Zhuangzi in Jinling."

Jia Zheng hesitated, but finally agreed

Jia She smacked her tongue in secret. As expected of an old lady, she borrowed 30 yuan with two pieces of silver that were not worth 70 yuan. She really opened her mouth. Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Mrs. Wang say: "Since I borrowed it, why don't I borrow 120 million yuan?" The rest of the garden can be brought back to the palace for the empress to sort out. The last time I went to the palace to have an audience, the empress must have enough food and clothing to spare the corpse.”

Mother Jia sighed heavily when she heard this, and closed her eyes. Jia Zheng blew his beard and stared angrily, and scolded in a low voice, "Are you out of your mind? I want to borrow from you, but I can't open my mouth!"

Mrs. Wang blushed, she couldn't say anything, Mrs. Xing smiled secretly, she was really unsatisfied, she deserved to be so shameless, she didn't know how much money she had stolen from the public, but her daughter's relatives actually only paid [-] yuan, thanks to her being too embarrassed to ask someone to borrow it money!

******************************************

Lin Ruhai's confidant Master Tao took over as the Xunyan censor. Because of the extreme cold this winter, he was afraid that the canal would be frozen in advance.

Before Lin Ruhai arrived in Beijing, the boxes and cages that were shipped in advance and filled with several large ships had been sent to the old house of the Lin family, and a letter followed by it was sent to Mother Jia

Mother Jia had read the letter and called Daiyu, handed it to her and said, "Your father will go to Beijing in two days, and he wrote a letter to ask you to pack your things first." After that, she took Daiyu's hand and sighed.

Daiyu took the letter and heard Jia's mother sigh, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't sigh, I just go home to accompany my father for a few days, and I will come to my grandmother to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year."

Since Baoyu started to build a garden at home, Jia Zheng no longer cared about him, and Qin Zhong was seriously ill, so there was no point in going to school, so he spent three days fishing and two days drying the net. Going to Jiamu's place, when I entered the door, I heard Daiyu say that she was going to leave, so she shouted, "Why is Sister Lin leaving?" She grabbed Jiamu's arm and begged, "My sister has no brothers and sisters, and no one to play with her. The old ancestor told Uncle Lin not to pick up my sister and go away." He went to La Daiyu's hands and said, "It's fun in the garden. When the garden is built, I'll tell them to go out and let us play for a day. What do you say?" OK?"

Daiyu hurriedly shook off his hand, seeing the begging look on his bun face, she couldn't help being amused, maybe he is indeed a person with a pure heart, no matter what he does, he always has no dirty thoughts in his heart, he is considerate and careful , Playing and sucking together is easier to handle than girls. She is really a good friend of girlfriends. It's a pity that I am getting older, and I am afraid that we will see less and less time in the future.

Seeing that Baoyu was in a hurry, Jia's mother comforted her and said, "Don't make trouble, good boy. Your sister Lin's house is going to celebrate the New Year, and you will still come after the New Year."

In the past two days, the maidservant in Daiyu's house has been busy packing things, because Mother Jia told her to bring only some portable things, and they still come after the Chinese New Year, and in the end they only packed a few boxes and cages.

It was about noon that day, the little girl ran in and said that the old master and the second master had entered the gate to greet the aunt, and the aunt was about to come in to greet the old lady

Sister Feng was busy avoiding everywhere, and after a while Lin Ruhai entered Jiamu's main room, greeted Jiamu and sat down on the lower head Daiyu hurried over to pay respects, Lin Ruhai helped Daiyu up, seeing her rosy complexion and clear eyes, she nodded , said to Jia Mu: "Yu'er has lived for many years and has bothered the old lady."

Jia's mother said: "My lord, what are you talking about? Among my children, Min'er is the one who loves me the most. Now that Min'er has gone early, Yu'er is my heart, and I can't leave it for a moment."

Lin Ruhai feels sad when he thinks of Jia Min

Baoyu on the side hurriedly came to greet him, calling him uncle

Because Baoyu wore bright red clothes to meet guests, and the crown on his head was studded with pearls, Lin Ruhai thought it was just a girl at first, but only now did he realize that it was Jia Baoyu who was born with the jade in his hand. Although he wondered why he was not outside The court entertained guests and hung out in the inner court, but he still calmly helped him up, and gave him a gift again.

Baoyu saw the gift respectfully, received the gift, and stepped aside. Jia Mu nodded secretly, and said a few words to Lin Ruhai about the warmth and comfort of the road, and the outer courtyard sent a message to invite the aunt to have dinner in the outer courtyard.

Lin Ruhai resigned and went to the outer courtyard. When she looked back, Baoyu had no intention of following the outer courtyard.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai looks good and doesn't feel tired from the long journey, Daiyu puts her mind down completely, and has dinner with Jia Mu at ease, waiting for Lin Ruhai to take her home with her

After dinner, Baoyu followed Daiyu every step of the way, and from time to time said that it was cold and she should wear more clothes, put more charcoal basins in the house, and if there was no silver frost charcoal, she would send some from Jia's mansion, remember Writing a letter, I will go to Lin Mansion to visit her in a few days, and so on, over and over again, nagging endlessly, Daiyu just fiddled with the Jiulianhuan in her hand and casually agreed to Tanchun, who was on the side, couldn't help laughing after listening for a while , just as the attacker came in, Baochai smiled and said: "You don't mind it, because if you don't know, you may think it's a bad-mouthed woman from somewhere."

Xiren smiled and said: "I can't control it, I just have to do what he likes." He waved his hands and went to look for Hu Po to ask for something.

Baoyu ignored them, and still asked Daiyu to come to make money after the new year, and no one else was allowed to touch the things in the house, and kept them until Daiyu came.

Daiyu put down Jiu Lianhuan and said with a smile: "After talking for so long, you must be thirsty." She raised her voice and asked the servant girl to serve tea to moisten the throat of Second Master Bao, which made everyone in the room laugh

Jia's mother was lying in the middle, hurriedly raising her voice to ask what she was laughing at. Tanchun went in and said it vividly, and Jia's mother laughed for nothing and kept saying that she would make more tea for Baoyu, and Baoyu was a little embarrassed.

******************************************

PS: The contract was sent out yesterday. I heard that contracted writers can set a manuscript box to send manuscripts on a regular basis. I don’t know if it’s true (⊙_⊙?

No.20 Get sick once

Sending Lin Ruhai and Daiyu away, Jia Zheng touched the banknote in his bosom, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Ruhai gave him 100 million, but did not ask for the two land deeds. When Jiamu found out, she was silent for a while and said, "Send the land deed of the [-]-acre village in the suburbs of Beijing, and say that I, the grandmother, gave it to Daiyu." dowry"

Mrs. Jia Shexing was upset that Jia's mother gave the property of her father-in-law to outsiders. Besides, if Daiyu and Baoyu were engaged, it was just a trick to give the property to Baoyu.

Aunt Xue came to chat with Mrs. Wang at Rongxi Hall. Mrs. Wang has been wronged these days. Her mother-in-law didn’t take it seriously, and her husband scolded her in front of outsiders. She didn’t save face. The only precious son still talked to his grandmother at home. Gaiyuanzi was short of money, Aunt Xue said knowingly: "The business at home is less now, and some money is lying around for nothing, why don't I lend it to you?"

Mrs. Wang pretended to decline and said: "You are also an orphan and widow, how dare I use your money, don't say that!"

Aunt Xue sighed: "I'm a woman, and I don't have any other thoughts. I just hope that Pan'er will be more sensible, and that Chai'er will marry a good family, and I will be satisfied."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly laughed and said, "What are you talking about? I just fell in love with Baochai. I don't recognize anyone who will be my daughter-in-law. Just don't worry. Next time you go to the palace to see your mother, I will persuade your mother to give them both. Refers to marriage"

Aunt Xue Fang smiled and said: "It's not that I'm praising my child, Chai'er is really rare and steady and generous."

Mrs. Wang wrote an owed contract of 30 yuan, and Aunt Xue sent the bank notes later, and the two happily reached an agreement again

Daiyu's sedan chair went directly to the hanging flower gate in the inner courtyard of the Lin Mansion. The flat stone road looked spotless. As usual, Nanny Song came out to welcome Daiyu. Daiyu exchanged greetings with Nanny Song, and the two entered the inner courtyard

After Lin Ruhai came back, she only told Daiyu to live in the Hanbi Building next to the Songyin Hall in the main courtyard, and went to the outer courtyard to meet guests. Nanny Song led Daiyu to go around the Songyin Hall. Enter through the gate, pass through the hall, and then pass through a five-room open hall. Inside is a large courtyard. There are five main rooms, and three east and west wing rooms. They are connected by hand corridors. It is Songyintang, but there is not a pine tree, but a ginkgo tree that is hundreds of years old, and the leaves have fallen now.

Daiyu went into the main room and walked around, seeing that the room was warm, filled with flowers and bonsai, there was no charcoal gas, and the decorations were all Lin Ruhai liked, so she was relieved and was about to leave.
