Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

Four books and five classics, two and six studies housekeeper director, thirty-seven studies poetry and poetry, four-eight studies tailoring and embroidery, five-ninth learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, from mid-afternoon to late Shen-shi, learning etiquette Daiyu started listening only from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning It’s just class at one o’clock, and I was about to cheer in my heart. I also heard that the schedule shows the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor. I also heard that I have to learn etiquette every afternoon. Ten days off, Daiyu was a little relieved

Since then, Daiyu has started a healthy life of going to class every day. Mr. Shi does not have many requirements for schoolwork, but is extremely strict with appearance. After Daiyu was criticized once, she never dared to dress up casually, walk, stand, etc. I also stopped being lazy and learned the rules for a period of time. I felt very tired at first, but it didn't take long before I realized that I had changed a lot. Daiyu looked weak and pale before, but now she always follows Mr. Shi Beside her, she has become somewhat similar to her, and suddenly one day Zijuan also said that she is not at all like before

At the same time, the Grand View Garden has begun to take shape. Apart from missing Daiyu, Baoyu is living comfortably. The boy was wandering around in the garden. Mother Jia was relieved to see that he was no longer clamoring to pick up Daiyu. At the same time, she was a little worried. Lin Ruhai politely refused her invitation on the pretext that Daiyu was busy with her daily homework. Baoyu still didn't know what love was. , as long as Daiyu is the best playmate, how to get married for the two in the future still needs some consideration

No.20 Nine Times Attacking People

Mr. Shi looks very serious, but she is actually a woman who is good at enjoying life. Although there are many courses on the schedule, it is not necessary to be proficient in all of them. After all, women do not need to take the imperial examination, they just learn some principles, but the afternoon class is not so easy. At the beginning, Dai Yu just learned how to sit for five days. Sitting and standing is also a subject of knowledge, not to mention that dining includes royal dining etiquette, saluting to nobles is divided into different levels of nobles. Saluting in auspicious clothes is different. When others salute you, you also need to choose whether to return the salute or not according to the level of the salute.

Daiyu had to lament that the land of China is indeed a land of etiquette, because there are too many things to memorize, and she had to take detailed notes. If you wait until you really use these things and then learn them temporarily, you will not be able to find anyone to teach them. Mr. is of a high family background, and he also specializes in etiquette when he enters the palace as a female historian, so he is also proficient in all royal etiquette, and Daiyu has a thick book of notes

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

The third day of August is Jia Mu's birthday. Baoyu has long urged Jia Mu to pick up Daiyu and Xiangyun. Daiyu is busy with her studies and only said that she must come on her birthday, but Xiangyun came to Jia's mansion a few days earlier.

Xiangyun and Xirenqing are the same sisters, and when they came, they went to talk to Xiren, and saw that Xiren was embroidering a fan cover, so he asked casually, "The one I embroidered before, did he take it out?"

Xi Ren said: "Don't mention it, your fan cover is used every day. After drinking that day, I somehow found out the one that Miss Lin gave me before, and said that the one Miss Lin embroidered is better. Who knows Qingwen That girl said a few bad words and annoyed him. She cut off the fan cover you embroidered with a pair of scissors, and regretted it when she woke up. I embroidered another one, and I told him that it was embroidered by Miss Shi, so he knew, and only said that I would personally apologize to you."

Xiangyun heard that he compared his own with Lin Daiyu's, and cut off his own embroidery. When he wanted to find Baoyu's theory, he felt that it was not very interesting, so he had to hold back this tone.

It was a good day, and Daiyu took a sedan chair to the Rongguo Mansion early in the morning. A roomful of people were making fun of Jia Mu, and several of Jia Mu's old wives accompanied Jia Mu to talk.

The maid at the door raised the curtain and called out that Miss Lin is here, and everyone retreated and looked at the door, only to see Daiyu wearing a Yuehua dress, a single shirt with sand green embroidered happy meeting with white butterflies, and a ruby ​​collar pin on the neckline It is as big as a longan. It looks good when standing still, and looks graceful when moving. It wears a pair of lace golden phoenix hairpins on its head, jade bracelets in its hands, and high-soled shoes embroidered with goldfish patterns. The fish eyes are inlaid with polished circles The obsidian-shaped body is simple, but it took a lot of effort to make it. Baochai specially wore a pleated skirt embroidered with gold today, and a light pink crepe single shirt, which was originally intended to be worn by Dai. Yu has one head, looking at it this way, but can't help but feel a little ashamed, because Daiyu's misty temples are beautiful, her advances and retreats are graceful and luxurious, she seems to be a different person compared with the New Year

Daiyu first paid respects to Jia Mu for her birthday, and then sent her a picture of a hundred years of longevity written by herself. When Jia Mu liked it, she immediately ordered her servant girl to replace the picture of a long life in Chinese characters hanging on the wall with a picture of a hundred years of life. Sister Feng sighed in praise: "This is all well taught by our ancestors. We are not as lucky as Sister Lin, so our ancestors can give us advice, so we can only be so random. Fortunately, our ancestors don't mind it." we hate"

Mother Jia saw her pretending to be tweezers, so she stretched out her hand to hit her, and said with a smile: "I just give you some extra face because I see you are pitiful, but you will put gold on your own face."

Baoyu saw that everyone was going to see Sister Feng, so he quietly pulled Daiyu aside, took out a small white jade box, and said with a smile: "They have used up all the rouge and gouache made in the spring. This is made in summer. I left a box for you specially."

Seeing him presenting the treasure, Daiyu laughed and said, "A box of rouge is worth your stealth." She took it and put it away.

Seeing them standing in the corner talking, Baochai restrained herself and dragged Xiangyun over, laughing, "It's obvious that you two are having a good time, so why are you whispering?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Why don't you tell me what you guess?"

When Baochai was asked this playful question, she could only laugh and said, "I'm not a god, so how could I guess?"

Xiangyun was very angry because Baoyu cut the fan bag, not only angry with Baoyu, but also hated Daiyu. She is eloquent, who can surpass her? Even other poems, paintings, and embroidery are unmatched by others." Then he stared at Baoyu

Daiyu was attacked for no reason, and she was unhappy. She just looked at Xiangyun's appearance, and it seemed that Baoyu had offended her, so she kept her face and said with a smile: "I dare not admit this. To say that I don’t know that humility is a virtue.”

Xiangyun was going to talk about it later, Baoyu remembered the past and hurriedly bowed and arched: "Sister Yun, it's all my fault, because I drank too much wine that day, and accidentally cut off the fan bag you embroidered, I didn't know It was embroidered by you, if you know it, you must put it away and never dare to destroy it."

Xiangyun's eyes turned red when he heard that, and he pointed to Daiyu and said, "My embroidery is not as good as hers. You will only use her embroidery in the future, and I will not embroider for you again!" Chai hurriedly followed behind and also walked away.

Daiyu looked at the backs of the two of them leaving and said in wonder: "Why are there not enough maids in your house, why do you have to bother Sister Yun?"

Baoyu said angrily: "I never knew that Xiren and Sister Yun are good friends. I think Xiren bothered her to do it."

Daiyu sighed: "Sister Yun lives alone at her uncle's house. I don't know what's going on. Xiren doesn't think much of her."

One sentence reminded Baoyu, and Baoyu said: "I will tell Xiren not to bother her to do these things later, so she doesn't order those maids, and she doesn't know what she thinks."

As a maid who dreams of being an aunt, Xiren is doing very well except that she has entered the state in advance, but Xiren is not satisfied with the status quo. She not only wants to be an aunt, but also wants to have a relationship with the future mistress A harmonious aunt, an aunt whose master dotes on the hostess but does not suppress her. She knows that it is not the man who has the final say in the inner courtyard, but the example of the mistress Aunt Zhao. As long as Jia Zheng stays in the inner courtyard , almost always go to Aunt Zhao's place, but look at what Aunt Zhao's life is like, getting up early every day, being greedy at night, being called and drank by the mistress, and she can't even save money for her private house, and she can't even compare with a third-class maid.

As early as when Daiyu came to Beijing at the age of six, Xiren vaguely knew of Jiamu's plan, so at that time Xiren often came to care about Daiyu, hoping that everyone could get along in harmony in the future. The middleman, he and Baoyu got better for a while and got annoyed for a while, and Baoyu didn't care about these maids any more, and followed Daiyu all day to attack others, feeling deeply in danger. , Xiren decisively denied Daiyu, and turned his target to Xiangyun

Xiangyun lived in Jia's mansion when he was young, and he lived there for several years. At that time, Xiren served Xiangyun. Xiren always remembered that Xiangyun was innocent and straightforward, and had the best relationship with him. Most importantly, at that time, Mother Jia obviously had the idea of ​​assigning Xiangyun to Baoyu

It is precisely because of this that Xiren often asks Xiangyun to make shoes and sachets. First, Xiangyun can often think about Baoyu, and second, if he tells about these things Xiangyun made for Baoyu in the future, Jia Mu and others should also agree. consider carefully

Besides, Daiyu returned to Lin's mansion in the evening, and Baoyu asked Xiren, "Why didn't you tell me how many things you have done for sister Yun in the past?"

When Xiren asked, he put down his work, poured a cup of tea and walked over, angrily said: "It's not because of your strange temper, you don't do it in a sewing room, but we are the only ones who know how to sew." few, sunny
