Old things in the Red Chamber

Dinner is uncomfortable for most people. Xue Baochai has a plump figure, and now she holds a round fan in her hand early, and when talking with the old lady after eating, she still shakes the fan a few times from time to time.But Lin Daiyu is afraid of the cold, and she still feels a little cold in the morning and evening. Mrs. Tong often said that she would cover the cold in spring and autumn, and wait a few days before taking off her thick clothes.

Wang Xifeng sent Ping'er to ask, "Where does Miss Lin stay at night?"

Lin Daiyu was heartbroken when she heard this, she picked her up, she always didn't prepare a house, and this time she didn't know where she was going to live?

Shi Taijun thought for a while, "We will live with the old lady together with Yun'er."

Near Shi Taijun's upper house was the place where the girls of the Jia family lived, and it was also a three-room building. Later, the girls moved to Mrs. Wang's place. The vicinity of Shi Taijun's house was considered empty, and currently only one Xiangyun lived.

After hearing this, Ping'er took the women with their quilts to make the bed, and Caiping went to see it himself.

After all, Shi Taijun was getting old, impatient to sit for a long time at night, and sent them away after saying a few gossips.Yuanyang sent Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun back in person, Shi Xiangyun looked innocent, sister Lin was longer than sister Lin, and chirped all the way.

At night, she was going to share a room with Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu ate meat for dinner and felt that it was not easy to restrain. Now lying on the bed, she only felt her stomach churning.

Lin Daiyu tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep for half the night. First, she was good at her stomach, and second, she was thinking about what happened today over and over again.Letting herself stay here was probably a temporary idea. Lin Daiyu was reluctant to part with her old grandmother, and she didn't want to live here any longer. She couldn't help but wondered if the relationship between her uncle and grandmother was not so rigid, would she also take her grandmother to the Hou's mansion to take care of her.Of course, this is impossible, now that my uncle doesn't show his face, but brother Xun doesn't want to see this side, and last year's father passed away...

Thinking of her father and mother, Lin Daiyu cried a lot, but she didn't dare to let Shi Xiangyun know, so she suppressed her crying, and the next day, she felt that her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't open them.The color screen and the color photos are busy making people go to the kitchen to beg for a hard-boiled egg, regardless of whether this method works or not, let's use it first.Over there, Jia Baoyu got up early, and came here to hug the building and call his two cousins ​​to get up.

The people in the Jia family were not surprised, and the maids brought by Lin Daiyu blocked the door desperately, saying that her daughter hadn't washed yet. Jia Baoyu felt that she had come to the right place, "I wash with my sister, and the wash water Don’t pour it out, keep it for me.”

窝艹

The girls who guarded the door were shocked and scolded several times in the northern dialect in their hearts. It is said that except for their own master Hou who is a weirdo, and occasionally uses a basin of face or foot washing water with his wife regardless of dignity, there is no second person in the whole house. A man who is willing to use women's face wash, how can I say, a basin of water can be used by men first, and women can use it later, and it is not allowed to be used by men after women use it. In the eyes of men, this is a matter of losing face. Son.

The premise is that they are a couple.You and our girl are not a couple but cousins.

The three girls felt that the girl in front of them was definitely a playboy.Immediately, his face turned ugly, and one of them waved his fist, "Second Master, go back quickly, don't go back again... Oh, that's Second Master's maid, it just so happens that this sister came to look for you, Second Master quickly follow back."

Xiren chased after him and saw Jia Baoyu being stopped outside. She couldn't tell whether she was relieved or relieved. She naturally knew what was wrong with Jia Baoyu, so she coaxed and lied, "Second Lord, go see Miss Smith first." Let's see if Smith wakes up."

The three maids at the door looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

Lin Daiyu had already dressed, and Shi Xiangyun began to dress up, Caiping had no choice but to smooth out the wrinkles of the clothes, "Miss, let's make do with it, or Madam will send someone over here today, or if it doesn't work, let's send someone back to pick it up. "

The second-class girl who was going to get the eggs ran to the door and said to the three people standing at the door, "Whoever brings some money, give me some. The kitchen says that there are rules for eggs. If you want to get one more, you have to pay for it."

"How many?"

"Thirty texts."

One of them counted thirty big coins to her, and the little girl ran away. Here, Shi Xiangyun packed up and went back to her room. Lin Daiyu looked at herself in the mirror, feeling depressed.

After a while, the little girl brought the eggs, peeled the colored photos, and rolled them on Lin Daiyu's eye circles, "Young lady is keeping a filial piety now, so you can't put on makeup, otherwise, the eye circles will be covered too."

The three masters and servants in the room did not speak quietly, and the four second-class maids outside the door lowered their voices and muttered together, "You didn't see, I took thirty big money over there, and they said, 'That's just a little money. , only enough to buy eggs, and we didn’t see any of the hard-earned money from our kitchen’. I said, don’t get too excited, someone’s guests will spend [-] yuan to buy an egg from you, and the raw chicken outside is worth a penny. Don’t be dissatisfied with the money for one piece. I will directly make a fuss to your old ladies and wives, and ask if your family is too poor to solve the problem, and you are asking relatives for money. They reluctantly gave me one Egg, a supervisor came later, and he just said that he didn't know that I was a relative, and he was offended by neglect, but he didn't talk about paying back my thirty big money, which is really annoying."

Although the sound outside was low, it could still be heard inside the house. Lin Daiyu had a thought that it would be better to go home.

Baoyu's maids brought his clothes, shoes and socks to the yard, and went directly to Shi Xiangyun's room next door to change them, and then the two of them came out of the room hand in hand to find Lin Daiyu.

In the morning, she was still talking with Shi Taijun, and Xue Baochai led Lin Daiyu to talk more, asking questions about the nobleman, and asking a little more about the nobleman's preferences.

Lin Daiyu didn't speak when she could not speak, and she picked up unimportant things when she really had to. At this time, a woman came to announce, "The second master is back."

The female relatives in the house don’t have to avoid them, they are all juniors, Jia Zheng said beamingly after accepting their greetings, “My son heard some good news in the ministry today, so he couldn’t help but come back and tell the old lady that the emperor allowed the imperial concubine to visit relatives.” La."

"Really?"

"Although it's not very accurate, it's about seven or eight."

"Visiting relatives?" Mrs. Tong hugged her granddaughter and asked Jia Gu who was drinking water, "Are you really visiting relatives?"

Jia Gu put down the tea bowl, changed his shoes and asked Mrs. Tong, "What's the matter with you next to your relatives? How can you do it? If the prince is born, he will be so small that the nobles in the palace won't worry about it, and the emperor won't worry about carrying him out. The best way is that the nobles don't check their relatives."

Mrs. Tong thought about it, and looked at Jia Gu with disgust, "Go out and change, and smoke the child."

Hastily covered Xuan'er's nose, hugged her and avoided.

Jia Gu looked at the back of her hurriedly walking out, and suddenly remembered something, "Have you gone to pick up your niece?"

"I didn't go, I sent someone to go."

"Oh," Jia Gu changed his shoes, and carried the book to the study by himself to read.

Jia Gu tied up his hair, put a spinning hammer on the table, held a book, and said to the boy serving in the study, "Liu Ming, brighten the candle."

Liu Ming turned around and came in with a few candlesticks, "I heard that the car to pick up Miss Lin has already returned, and Mr. Jia is also here."

Just as he was talking, Jia Amnesty came in and saw his younger brother sitting on the desk, with a hemp rope tied on his head, holding a book, and asked him inexplicably, "Who are you?"

"read"

"Oh," Jia She looked at Jia Gu as if he were a fool, "Are you going to give up your position as a minister to take the imperial examination?"

"My younger brother also knows how heavy I am, so it's fine if I can become blind. Taking the imperial examination is a matter of my next life." After finishing speaking, he asked Jia Amnesty to sit down.

Jia Amnesty looked at the rope on his head with a very ugly expression, "Untie it and untie it, take this rope away, it looks unlucky."

"Why is it unlucky, hanging, when hanging me like this to sleep..."

"You also know that it's hanging. It's time to throw someone... We are so old, we should know how to fear ghosts and gods."

"Okay, okay, Liu Ming, come to solve it. Is there something wrong, big brother?"

"Today, Lian'er told me a piece of news about the emperor's grace," Jia Amnesty cupped his hands toward the imperial city, "allowing the imperial concubine to visit her relatives."

"The nobleman will probably not come back." Liu Ming took the rope out of the door of the study, "The four concubines in the palace are the people who followed the emperor when he was in the hidden mansion. The nine concubines are all rich and noble. His family background, other nobles, and court ladies were selected from all over the country. Since ancient times, the former court and the harem have always been involved several times. Those palace ladies selected from various places have no influence behind them, so they are naturally insignificant. , and look at other people, each family is always involved with other clans. The emperor was unhappy, and came up with such an idea, let these people spend money to buy a lot of fun. At that time, whether the concubine can go out of the palace is still a matter of opinion. You don’t have to worry about Jia Cunzhou’s place, I will make a statement on my own and won’t bring you back.”

"But I want to bring the second girl back."

"Why do you come back? Don't think about it, but there is a prince by her side. Can she go away? Don't worry about it. Don't follow Jia Zheng to make trouble. He asked you to sign it. Don't write it stupidly, tell me The benefits of Jia Lian and his wife are not in sight in the future."

Jia She knew that he was not as good as his younger brother most of the time, so he listened honestly, and finally asked worriedly, "Lian'er told me how the nobleman is doing well, is it really good? Tell me, I have no idea."

Sometimes Jia Gu felt that Jia She was heartless, and sometimes he felt that this person was quite humane. When he thought about himself, there were also times when he was unpredictable. In a calm manner, I also said to him gently, "Okay, my honey is nothing more than that, you are also a little wife in the yard, you should know her situation, even if there is a bit of favor now, can we do it?" What I do is to suppress the younger generation not to be rampant and not to cause trouble, just so that she will not be punished if she is unfavored in the future. I hope that she will give birth to a son in this birth, and he will grow up safely, and I also have hope."
