Daiyu's life
Chapter 48
Chapter 49
The puppy was too small, and Daiyu Xichun didn't dare to hold it for too long. After playing for a while, she put it in a small basket and asked Ruhua to carry the puppy back. The three chatted while eating the buns.
Xichun laughed and said, "Back when Sister Feng and Second Brother Lian went out to Yangzhou, I was only a little old. Sister Feng also said that she would make new clothes for us when she came back. As a result, after so many years, there are almost two children here. .”
Daiyu smiled and said, "It's the fact that I see Sister Feng longer."
Xichun said, "That's not true. Sister Feng went to Yangzhou with Lian's second brother just a year after she got married." Seeing that Yingchun still didn't speak, Xichun had no choice but to change the subject.
The three of them were talking about Xiangyun Baochai and others coming back, Baoyu excitedly took a peach blossom and handed it to Daiyu, and said with a smile, "I just folded this, sister Lin can take it out and put it in a bottle. "
Daiyu took it, handed it to Xuecui and said to Baoyu, "Thank you, second cousin."
Because Daiyu took the flowers, Baoyu blushed with joy. Xiangyun took a look and didn't say anything. He took the peach blossoms in his hand and figured who he would give them to. After taking the flowers from Daiyu, Wang Sifu Baoyu never left Baoyu's eyes. Baoyu had no choice but to share the peach blossoms with Xiangyun. Sanchun didn't say to take the vase out, so Baoyu asked people to go back to him to get the vase.
Xiren brought the little girl over to bring a vase, Xiangyun dragged Xiren and said, "I know I'm here, why did sister Xiren come so late, but if I haven't seen you for two years, I won't be able to forget me."
Xiren laughed and said, "Yesterday I knew that the eldest girl was coming. The second master asked someone to pack up a lot of things for the girl. He just got them to pack up. Hearing that the girl wanted something here, the servant girl came here."
Xiang Yun smiled and said, "That's about the same."
Xiren helped Xiangyun distribute all the peach blossoms. Xiangyun first took two of them to send to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and Baoyu was also taken away.
Yingchun sighed, "Sister Yun is still so hot-tempered."
Tanchun said, "I think she is hard to change."
Baochai casually asked, "Sister Yun was so naughty when she was young."
Tanchun laughed and said, "When she and the second elder brother get together, even the old lady will have a headache. There are only things we can't think of, and they can't play without them. This time I also said that sister Yun will be better when she grows up. It looks like it's stuck."
Baochai laughed and said, "Brother Bao is just a person who is willing to play around, this time we can be regarded as getting together with Sister Yun."
Mother Jia was old and refined, but she didn't show it even though she had a mental grudge against Daiyu. The girls ate lively.Not long after the meal, Chen Siji sent someone to look for Daiyu, saying that Lin Ruhai had sent something from Yangzhou.
Mother Jia smiled and asked Daiyu to be sent back.
Xiang Yun said, "Sister Wang next to Sister Lin is really scary. I didn't dare to speak loudly when she was around just now. But Sister Lin's rules are good, and her eating posture is better than ours."
Jia's mother put her arms around Xiangyun and said, "Silly girl, your elder sister Lin has gone through a lot of hardships to become like this. Her father invited her. There is nothing you can do about it. Let's not learn from that."
Xiangyun put his arms around Jiamu and smiled, "I don't want to learn it, but it's just looking fresh."
Lin Ruhai sent some small things to the brothers and sisters of the Lin family. The most important thing was the letter written by Lin Ruhai. In the letter, Lin Ruhai implicitly hinted that no matter what happened to the brothers and sisters of Daiyu, they should not panic and just stay in the Jia family.Daiyu was a little worried and relieved, and she couldn't do anything more, so she had to write a letter back to tell Lin Ruhai to pay attention to her body. Dr. Lu's pulse test showed that Lin Ruhai's anger was too high, and it was three-point poisonous medicine. Daiyu also advised Lin Ruhai to drink more chrysanthemums Tea and other things that reduce the fire.
Xuecui put away Daiyu's written letter and handed it to Wang Sifu for safekeeping, and then said to Daiyu, "The old lady really loves Miss Yun, and the three girls in our lady's house all backed away. land."
Daiyu said indifferently, "Sister Yun was brought up by her grandmother when she was a child, and she went home to live for two years after the death of the eldest wife of the Shi family. Let's say it's been more than a year, but the days when I was happy at my grandmother's knees are really real." It's limited, and it's normal for grandma to be partial."
Xuejuan said, "The old lady is just Miss Shi's aunt. Miss Shi has a aunt, an uncle and an aunt. Why did the old lady bring her here to raise her?"
Xueyan said, "You don't even know that, Bai followed the girl out for a day."
Xuejuan said, "Just this morning you found out something again."
Xueyan raised her head and said, "It's only now that I remembered to ask me. Sister Xuecui has already asked."
Xuecui explained, "Miss Shi's father, Shizi Baoling Hou, had been married for many years and had no children. Later, Miss Shi finally had Miss Shi. Miss Shi's aunt went there when she gave birth to Miss Shi. After a year, she had no children. Linghou's eldest son also passed away, and Miss Shi's aunt was not in good health, so the old lady brought Miss Shi to raise her. When she was four or five years old, Miss Shi's aunt also went, and Miss Shi came back Keep filial piety at home."
Daiyu said, "It's really rare for Sister Yun to be so cheerful with such an embarrassing identity."
Daiyu didn't go to Jia Mu's place at night, but took her two younger brothers to eat at home. Daiyu said, "Be careful when you go to that mansion in the future. Not only is Sister Bao here, this time there is another Sister Yun, these are relatives who have taken a detour from the Lin family, and if they don't work out, they will collide with each other, so be careful."
Haoxuan said, "Grandma's family doesn't pay attention to these things. It doesn't matter if my brother and I are boys, but my sister should be more careful."
Daiyu said, "I'm fine. The two gentlemen followed me closely, and even bad words couldn't reach me."
The next morning, Daiyu was speechless about the news she heard. Shi Xiangyun actually slept in Jiamu's house. I wonder if it was because Daiyu didn't live in Jiamu's house. Baoyu didn't move out, but He has been living with Jia Mu all the time, and Sanchun has not moved the yard. He has been in Jiamu's yard all the time. When Shi Xiangyun comes, it is better to live with Sanchun whoever he wants than to live with Jiamu.
Seeing Xueyan's expression of wanting to gossip like the past, Daiyu nodded her head fiercely and said, "It's better to stay at home, I won't go there today."
Xueyan gossiped, "Girl, Miss Shi is the same age as you."
Daiyu nodded and said, "Sister Yun, the third sister, the three of us are all of the same age, it's just that my birthday is older."
Xueyan said, "If the two Mrs. Shi knew about this, they would probably even have the heart to eat Miss Shi alive."
Daiyu said, "Is this so serious? As long as it doesn't spread to the outside world, the two wives of the Shi family will be unhappy at best."
Chen Siji sighed, "Everyone thinks it's hard to be a stepmother, but actually it's the most difficult thing to raise the orphans of brothers and sisters-in-law. Fortunately, Miss Smith is born of a concubine, and it would be even more troublesome if she was a descendant."
Daiyu said, "If it's a concubine, the historians can't let my grandmother pick it up as soon as she says it will."
Shi Xiangyun lived like a fish in water in Jia's house. The most amazing thing about Shi Xiangyun is that she doesn't reward Jia's servants very much. Jia's servants seldom say anything bad about her. Jia's servants dare not say that Daiyu is Because Wang Sifu Chen Siji, otherwise it would not be easy to escape the mouths of the servants of Jia's family, just relying on a little Daiyu to admire her.
Tanchun Baochai is no longer targeting Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun's hostility towards Daiyu disappeared that day, and with her carefree temper, Daiyu is not very disgusted with getting along with the girls, the laughter in the Rongguo Mansion is daily Day after day, Shi Xiangyun, Baochai and Sanchun came to the front yard together, but Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and then she laughed, "How did you get together?"
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "Brother Ai lost a bet yesterday, and he was being punished for copying books. We looked at it for a while, but it was boring. The fourth sister said that she would come to sister Lin, so we all followed."
Daiyu smiled and said, "This is really rare, second cousin still has time to pick up a pen."
Xiang Yun said, "If Brother Ai likes copying books, it's no fun to win the bet, isn't it?"
Daiyu thought it was funny when she thought of Baoyu copying the book with a sad face, and the distress of all the sisters who had no one to accompany her. Xiangyun said, "Sister Bao has a way, otherwise I won't be able to punish Brother Ai."
Daiyu turned her beautiful eyes, looked at Xichun and blinked, and smiled even more happily.
Xichun said, "What did sister do just now?"
Daiyu said, "Yesterday, the paint you had left was better and still usable, so I painted it twice."
When everyone heard this, they insisted on seeing how Daiyu painted it. There was nothing to hide from people. Daiyu led the people and passed. What Daiyu painted was a picture of a kingfisher in a bamboo forest, and all the bamboos were painted well. Yes, there are still a few birds left.
Xiangyun looked at it and said with a smile, "I think it's stronger than the fourth sister."
Xichun raised her head and said, "Of course my sister is stronger than me." After Xichun finished speaking, she pestered Daiyu to ask her to take it back when she finished painting, and to show a small kang screen like this, so Daiyu would paint after washing her hands stand up.
Baochai looked at Daiyu wearing a white magenta cotton damask skirt with a red edge, a bun with eight treasures and a white jade hairpin holding the sleeve of the other hand so that it would not interfere with painting. Swiping a brush to paint, the two eyebrows frown slightly together, making it difficult to tell whether it is a picture of a beautiful woman who is elegant and fairy-like or the beauty is painting. Baochai is most grateful for Daiyu's appearance at this time. Baoyu It will never be opened, and Baochai came back to his senses when Daiyu finished all the drawings and took back her pen.
Xiangyun looked at Baochai and said with a smile, "Sister Lin's paintings are beautiful, so Sister Bao shouldn't be dumbfounded."
Baochai smiled slightly and said, "The fourth younger sister is dumbfounded now."
Xichun hugged Daiyu's arm and said proudly, "I see that my sister was stunned not once or twice."
Xiang Yun scratched his face and said, "What a shameless girl."
Xichun giggled and ignored Xiangyun at all.
But Daiyu said with a smile, "You guys are here to make fun of me. If you keep doing this, I won't open the door next time."
Xichun smiled and said, "Yes, when I come in, I will shut you out, so that you will know how to make fun of us all day long."
Xiangyun pinched his waist and said, "Well, you fourth sister, I returned to Sister Yun on the way here just now, Sister Yun kept yelling, and now she's rebellious, let's see how I deal with you."
Xichun started running around the house, and finally the two of them laughed and quarreled.
Daiyu tidied Xichun's hair with a small comb, and said to Yingchun, who was combing Xiangyun's hair, "It's usually enough to have a little lunatic, but it's really hard to make a pair now." .”
Xiangyun smiled and said, "It's the fourth sister and I who are the most interesting. You play chess, paint or play the piano and read books all day long. What's the point?"
Daiyu smiled and said, "If my grandmother hears this, she should have a headache."
Xiang Yun said, "No, the old lady loves us the most, it's too late to see us happy."
Xichun just smiled but didn't speak.Everyone kept making trouble at the Lin family's place until Haoxuan Haoyu came back.
When Haoxuan Haoyu came back, he brought back a message to Daiyu that the First Prince had set off with an army of [-] troops transferred from the nearest Hebei.
Daiyu's heart skipped a beat. The saint has favored concubine Zhen for many years. If the eldest prince drives the Tartars back outside Beiting Pass, the next emperor will be a certainty. Even if the saint does not appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, but this The military power is in the hands of the eldest prince. Whether the saint can sit firmly on the throne is another matter. This is really not good news for the Lin family. Daiyu can only pray that the fifth prince will succeed as soon as possible. people have.
Compared with Daiyu's worries, Jia Mu had a good night's sleep, and she was in the mood to let several girls laugh around her. This joke really made Jia Mu realize that something was wrong. There are no secrets among the girls, everyone just doesn't understand, and everyone knows the attitude of the second wife, even if they are all girls who have not left the cabinet, it is not easy to make fun of this, Jia Mu observed for two days and found that it was Mrs. Wang Supporting, Mother Jia was so angry that her lungs exploded. She never thought that Mrs. Wang, who had just bowed her head to her for a long time, turned back and got such a girl from a businessman's family to be her daughter-in-law.
In the eyes of Jiamu, the eldest prince is already the next emperor. The relationship between the Zhen family and the Jia family is much better than that of the Wang family. He went to pay his respects to Mrs. Wang, because Daiyu had been hiding from Baoyu, and because Daiyu was not very kind to Baoyu, Mother Jia's idea of making Daiyu her granddaughter-in-law faded a lot, so she pulled Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu together every day. Let Mrs. Wang grit her silver teeth.
With Jia's mother's support, Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu became even better. Today they fished fish, and tomorrow they picked flowers. Let Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang set up the rules, but Baochai can hold her breath. Baoyu only cares about playing with Xiangyun every day, and she is still gentle and virtuous as usual, no different from the past.
The girls just had two days of peace and harmony, and now there is a lot of war.Even Yingchun couldn't take it anymore and hid with Xichun at Daiyu's place.
Yingchun is already 14 years old this year, and the elders and wives still don't care about her. Sometimes Daiyu is anxious for her, but this one is still living a leisurely life. Daiyu has no choice but to ask "two Sister, I will send someone to Yangzhou to deliver things in a few days, do you have something for Brother Lian and Sister Feng?"
Yingchun shook her head and said, "Where can I have anything, the master and wife can't wait to see the sky to send things over there, and it's not enough for me to make people laugh."
Xichun said, "Second sister, Brother Lian and Sister Feng don't lack your share. It's also good for you as a real aunt to make two small clothes for the children in Brother Maoer and Sister Feng's belly, whether they wear them or not. A heart."
Yingchun just shook her head and didn't say anything.
Xichun wanted to jump up and argue with Yingchun, but seeing Yingchun's appearance, she was discouraged and stopped talking.
Daiyu recalled that Jia Min Wuyi had mentioned the cause of Zhang's death back then, the risky birth of Jia Lian was the main reason, and the fact that Jia Lian was taken away by Jia's mother on the one hand, and the other was Yingchun's aunt, a noble concubine who came into the mansion On the one hand, he just went there early, or else he was taking good care of himself, but he couldn't get better, and it would not be a problem to live for two more years. He probably knew about it by looking at Yingchun's appearance.
Daiyu could only say, "No matter how you say it, brother Lian is the real brother of the second sister, and he is always closer than others. No matter how many things happen, it has nothing to do with the second sister. How do you know that Lian's brother Feng My sister is not rare."
Yingchun's eyes were red when he heard this, and tears rolled in his eye sockets, making people look so pitiful, and actually said, "I wanted to do it, but I don't have any material that is suitable for making clothes for children. , the monthly cases are all in the hands of the grandma, and I can't buy them anything. I really don't know what to give Mao Geer."
After hearing this, Xichun immediately said, "My good sister, it's not too late for you to have said this a long time ago. The old man has sent a lot of things to Anhuai. Sister Feng and the others are not short of the ones we bought, but It's just a gift, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law just sent two pieces of Yuehua brocade a few days ago, it's perfect for making clothes for children, I'll send them to you in a while."
Daiyu laughed and said, "The Yuehua brocade was originally sent from Jiangnan. Sister Feng will never lack it, but I got some new Sichuan brocade with checkered flowers. Brother Mao is almost three years old. Wearing that is the best." It couldn't be more beautiful."
As Daiyu said that, she asked someone to take out the material. Shu brocade is the most colorful, but it will look good on children.
Unexpectedly, Yingchun didn't show courtesy to Daiyu, so she put away the things, and said with a choked voice, "I'm afraid that my two sisters will treat me in vain."
Daiyu said, "What carelessness? What is the value of such two horses? In the future, the second sister must return us twenty horses."
Daiyu didn't know that one of her jokes made Yingchun remember her for a lifetime. After Yingchun came out of the cabinet, she would send Daiyu Xichun a lot of various fabrics every year. There is no need for people to buy them up and down.”
Yingchun didn't take the fabric back, but often came to Daiyu's place to sit for a day. She didn't want to disturb Daiyu's things, so she often sat on the porch to show and do. Daiyu knew Yingchun, so she didn't force Yingchun back to the house. On the contrary, Chen Siji would often talk to Yingchun, and occasionally Yingchun would go to the east wing with Chen Siji for a sit-down.
The days passed so slowly, and Shi Xiangyun did not return to the historian's house in April. The historian sent someone to pick him up, and asked Jia Mu to return, saying that it was too long since he had seen Shi Xiangyun, and asked her to stay longer. Yu was very happy about this, and when Shi Xiangyun added Baochai here, Baoyu had even less time to pester her.
Xichun followed Daiyu to make zongzi, Xichun smiled and said, "Sister, this zongzi is so small, it's not enough for two of us."
Daiyu said, "That's how we can eat a few more kinds, otherwise two of them will be enough, how can we eat?"
Xichun smiled and said, "I just like ham stuffing."
Daiyu said, "You like to eat rice dumplings from the south. I see that most of the rice dumplings made in this house are made with vegetarian fillings. There are still some days before the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's try making more hams and eat them during the Dragon Boat Festival." Xichun nodded and smiled.
Daiyu was born with the idea of making zongzi, and she was hooked up by Cai Yahui. The atmosphere in Beijing is not very good. Cai Yahui, Ke Youbo and others are also staying at home honestly. Yesterday, Cai Yahui sent Daiyu There is a box of small rice dumplings filled with various flowers and nectar, as well as fruit fillings, and top-quality glutinous rice. They are colorful and crystal-clear, making people unbearable to eat.
Daiyu looked at all kinds of meat stuffing and salted egg yolk stuffing in her home and said with a smile, "It's wrapped here, I'm embarrassed to send it to Sister Yahui and the others."
Xichun thought about the jasmine paper dumplings that Cai Yahui usually used to write letters with Daiyu yesterday, Xichun could only say dryly, "Great vulgarity is elegance, and a person as elegant as Miss Cai will definitely know it."
Daiyu burst out laughing, and the two snacks laughed at each other.
Before Daiyu and Xichun could figure out which kind of fillings were the most delicious, the capital was thrown into chaos when the Daya rice dumplings were sent out. The son broke through two cities within three days, the eldest prince Situ Wen fled back to Beijing after defeat, and the whole Beijing was in chaos.The Shi family hastily picked up Shi Xiangyun, and the atmosphere of the Jia family became serious. Even Jia Jing came back from the Taoist temple, Xichun also returned to Ningguo Mansion, Haoxuan Haoyu didn't go to class, and stayed at home , there were more and more refugees outside the city, and many families began to pack their things and transport them to the south of the Yangtze River. The Jia family also took action, and the whole capital was shrouded in a serious atmosphere.
The eldest prince knelt outside the Jingtai Hall with a pale face, and the saint asked his confidant Feng Nian with a livid face, "Can Pingcheng be kept?"
The Jingying Jiedu envoy Feng Niandao "can't grasp the third level."
The sage turned around in the room and cursed, "That Nizi, who has no skills but wants to ask for a job, has caused me to be greatly admired."
Feng Nian just knelt, the saint helped Feng Nian to get up, and said, "I wronged you some time ago."
Feng Nian said, "It's all for the emperor, and the minister will not be wronged."
When the fifth prince and Feng Nian passed by, Feng Nian nodded his head in a subtle way, and saw the fifth prince, Situ Zhe, walking in anxiously. The saint asked in a bad tone, "How is the situation in Beijing?" .”
The fifth prince was a little bit embarrassed, but he still replied eagerly, "Going back to the emperor, there are more refugees, but there are not many big families in Beijing who can provide porridge sheds. Only relying on the official family is a drop in the bucket. I am afraid that if things go on like this, there will be a civil uprising."
The sage said furiously, "Are those people just patronizing their own escape, and they don't care about anything? What's the use of the court supporting them?"
The fifth prince stopped talking, and the sage continued walking. The sage didn't like the fifth prince very much, but the older princes died, circled around, and the family background was too low. In the end, there was only one son that the sage could use.The sage thought about something, and stopped abruptly. As soon as the sage stopped, his head became dizzy, and he almost didn't fall down.
He waved his hand to let the fifth prince go away, and the saint summoned the inner guards again. After three days, Pingcheng became more and more dangerous. In order to pass it on to the fifth prince, Situ Zhe, and in the third to blockade the capital, only allowed to enter but not to leave. Of course, the saint himself retreated to the Jinling Palace.
When Daiyu knew the emperor's three imperial edicts, she almost cursed, she didn't act like the emperor and her father.The fifth prince is the only prince in this dynasty who ascended to the throne before the emperor died, and the only prince who did not have a grand enthronement ceremony. Of course, he is also very likely to be the first emperor to be beaten to the door of his house. Shandong, Hebei Other places dispatched troops to support Pingcheng, but barely defended Pingcheng, and Micheng did not take it back.
The fifth prince didn't care about this, but asked his confidantes, "Is everything arranged at Father's place?"
A man who could never be found in the crowd said, "I have mixed according to the order of the third prince."
The fifth prince sighed and said, "You said third brother, why is he bothering?"
The man did not speak, and the Fifth Prince did not expect the man to answer. The current sage, Situ Zhe, looked at the flying flowers outside the window, retreated from the foolish, filial and gentle skin in front of the world, and revealed his own elegance. The sword in the sheath is magnificent and sharp.
Because of the emperor's will when he abdicated, Daiyu and others completely cut off contact with the outside world. Fortunately, before that, the Lin family siblings received Lin Ruhai's letter of safety and the fifth prince's warning, telling them that as long as they live well in Rongguo Mansion Just stay and don't do anything.
The Daiyu siblings were anxious even after receiving instructions from the fifth prince, the current sage, to keep them honest. Now, Jia Baoyu is still leisurely leading the girls to make rouge. Daiyu received a box of lipstick It looks like lip balm, and I really feel that if the Rongguo Mansion doesn't raid the house, it will be hell.
Haoxuan looked at Jia Baoyu with a dark face, and asked unkindly, "Second cousin, the battle in Pingcheng is at stake, and the Tartars are likely to come to the city. You are still in the mood to make rouge at this time."
Baoyu made Haoxuan feel a little guilty when he asked, but he still frowned and said, "Brother Xuan, leading troops to fight is the job of generals, you and I are anxious about what it will do to Pingcheng."
Haoxuan even made Baoyu laugh angrily, and asked, "It's the job of generals to lead troops to fight. This refugee has been in Beijing for more than two months. Did the second cousin pay a visit?"
Baoyu said, "Old lady, my wife has already sent someone to set up a porridge shed, where free porridge is provided for refugees every day. I have done everything that can be done."
Haoxuan stopped talking to Baoyu directly, this time he was sure that Baoyu was not pretending to be stupid, he was really stupid.Rongguo Mansion’s reputation for serving porridge this time is so good that it doesn’t smell like a street. There are many kinds of moldy rice porridge, clear soup and porridge, but Ningguo Mansion is much better, at least similar to most families in Beijing, but Xue’s family is better than Rongguo Mansion. Baoyu actually said that he had done everything he could, and Haoxuan just opened his mouth to push him away.
Hao Xuan said, "Second Cousin, please go back, my sister is worried about my father, and she is praying for him."
Hao Xuan looked at Jia Baoyu with a dark face, but Jia Baoyu had no choice but to leave angrily.
Mother Jia is also anxious to get angry recently, not to mention whether soldiers will come to the city and threaten the safety of Beijing, but the two invested by the Jia family, the third prince has been imprisoned, so after all, he is still a member of the royal family, and the eldest prince will directly become a member of the royal family. The five princes who had never been treated by the common people became the emperor. Concubine Zhen and the emperor returned to Jinling. There was a fire in the house, and at this moment, Jia Baoyu was still hiding it, for fear of frightening Jia Baoyu.
Seeing Baoyu come back angrily, Mother Jia smiled and asked, "What's the matter with Baoyu? Didn't you say that she sent rouge to Sister Lin?"
Baoyu said angrily, "Brother Xuan is on guard and won't let in, saying that sister Lin is chanting scriptures and praying for Uncle Lin."
Jia's mother coaxed, "Your sister Lin is the most filial. I can't get in touch with your uncle at this time. I have to be anxious. After two days, my ancestors will call your sister Lin over to play."
Baoyu nodded reluctantly. Mother Jia watched Baoyu go in to take a nap, so she called in a girl who followed the Lin family today and asked what was going on.
Xi Ren said, "A while ago, the second master was tired from reading, and when he was bored, he made two boxes of rouge with Miss Shi. Today, the rouge has just been made. The servant girl sees that the second master is depressed these days, thinking that the second master is usually the favorite. Miss Lin persuaded the second master to send a box to Miss Lin. When she arrived at Miss Lin's place, Mrs. Wang came out to stop her, and then Uncle Lin came over for some reason. After saying a few words to the second master, the second master gave birth Anger is back."
Jia Mu frowned and said, "Haoxuan said something about Baoyu."
Xi Ren said, "The slaves are far away, and they can't hear clearly. They just heard something about Pingcheng. It seems that the second master should not have fun at this time."
Jia's mother frowned even tighter, recalling her dissatisfaction with the Lin family siblings a few days ago. She repeatedly ordered Baoyu not to tell Baoyu about these things. The Jia family did a good job, and Jia Baoyu didn't know much Haoxuan actually talked about Baoyu because of this, which made Jia's mother angry, but now the situation of Jia's family is not optimistic. Jia's two sides have supported it for many years, and the treasury is mostly empty. Jia's mother could only grab what she could use, that is, she would not let Mrs. Wang set the rules, and she would not keep Baoyu. He also brought some food to the Lin family siblings.
Yuanyang said, "The old lady knew that Miss Lin was chanting scriptures and praying for the aunt, and she was very worried. At this time, there are not many delicious things in the city. I was afraid that Miss Lin would not eat well, so I asked my maidservant to bring some fruits over."
Daiyu said, "Grandmother has to worry about it. In the future, grandma will send something. Sister Yuanyang will help persuade me. At this time, we sister and brother don't talk about honoring grandma, but let grandma worry about us. I really feel sorry for it. "
Yuanyang smiled and said, "The old lady loves the girl and the two brothers the most. You make the old lady happier after eating than her old lady."
Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said, "It's all about grandma's kindness."
When the mandarin ducks went back, they didn't go back empty-handed. The pickles pickled by the old man Chuan, the high-quality bird's nest, wild ginseng, etc. were all sent to Jia Mu.
Haoyu sighed and said, "These few fruits from grandma are really expensive."
Daiyu patted him and said, "Grandmother is mother's mother no matter what. If you can be filial, you should be filial, and you will repay the grace of birth for mother. Let me listen to you next time." If so, see if I won’t sue your father for you.”
Haoyu stood obediently and stopped talking.
The puppy was too small, and Daiyu Xichun didn't dare to hold it for too long. After playing for a while, she put it in a small basket and asked Ruhua to carry the puppy back. The three chatted while eating the buns.
Xichun laughed and said, "Back when Sister Feng and Second Brother Lian went out to Yangzhou, I was only a little old. Sister Feng also said that she would make new clothes for us when she came back. As a result, after so many years, there are almost two children here. .”
Daiyu smiled and said, "It's the fact that I see Sister Feng longer."
Xichun said, "That's not true. Sister Feng went to Yangzhou with Lian's second brother just a year after she got married." Seeing that Yingchun still didn't speak, Xichun had no choice but to change the subject.
The three of them were talking about Xiangyun Baochai and others coming back, Baoyu excitedly took a peach blossom and handed it to Daiyu, and said with a smile, "I just folded this, sister Lin can take it out and put it in a bottle. "
Daiyu took it, handed it to Xuecui and said to Baoyu, "Thank you, second cousin."
Because Daiyu took the flowers, Baoyu blushed with joy. Xiangyun took a look and didn't say anything. He took the peach blossoms in his hand and figured who he would give them to. After taking the flowers from Daiyu, Wang Sifu Baoyu never left Baoyu's eyes. Baoyu had no choice but to share the peach blossoms with Xiangyun. Sanchun didn't say to take the vase out, so Baoyu asked people to go back to him to get the vase.
Xiren brought the little girl over to bring a vase, Xiangyun dragged Xiren and said, "I know I'm here, why did sister Xiren come so late, but if I haven't seen you for two years, I won't be able to forget me."
Xiren laughed and said, "Yesterday I knew that the eldest girl was coming. The second master asked someone to pack up a lot of things for the girl. He just got them to pack up. Hearing that the girl wanted something here, the servant girl came here."
Xiang Yun smiled and said, "That's about the same."
Xiren helped Xiangyun distribute all the peach blossoms. Xiangyun first took two of them to send to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and Baoyu was also taken away.
Yingchun sighed, "Sister Yun is still so hot-tempered."
Tanchun said, "I think she is hard to change."
Baochai casually asked, "Sister Yun was so naughty when she was young."
Tanchun laughed and said, "When she and the second elder brother get together, even the old lady will have a headache. There are only things we can't think of, and they can't play without them. This time I also said that sister Yun will be better when she grows up. It looks like it's stuck."
Baochai laughed and said, "Brother Bao is just a person who is willing to play around, this time we can be regarded as getting together with Sister Yun."
Mother Jia was old and refined, but she didn't show it even though she had a mental grudge against Daiyu. The girls ate lively.Not long after the meal, Chen Siji sent someone to look for Daiyu, saying that Lin Ruhai had sent something from Yangzhou.
Mother Jia smiled and asked Daiyu to be sent back.
Xiang Yun said, "Sister Wang next to Sister Lin is really scary. I didn't dare to speak loudly when she was around just now. But Sister Lin's rules are good, and her eating posture is better than ours."
Jia's mother put her arms around Xiangyun and said, "Silly girl, your elder sister Lin has gone through a lot of hardships to become like this. Her father invited her. There is nothing you can do about it. Let's not learn from that."
Xiangyun put his arms around Jiamu and smiled, "I don't want to learn it, but it's just looking fresh."
Lin Ruhai sent some small things to the brothers and sisters of the Lin family. The most important thing was the letter written by Lin Ruhai. In the letter, Lin Ruhai implicitly hinted that no matter what happened to the brothers and sisters of Daiyu, they should not panic and just stay in the Jia family.Daiyu was a little worried and relieved, and she couldn't do anything more, so she had to write a letter back to tell Lin Ruhai to pay attention to her body. Dr. Lu's pulse test showed that Lin Ruhai's anger was too high, and it was three-point poisonous medicine. Daiyu also advised Lin Ruhai to drink more chrysanthemums Tea and other things that reduce the fire.
Xuecui put away Daiyu's written letter and handed it to Wang Sifu for safekeeping, and then said to Daiyu, "The old lady really loves Miss Yun, and the three girls in our lady's house all backed away. land."
Daiyu said indifferently, "Sister Yun was brought up by her grandmother when she was a child, and she went home to live for two years after the death of the eldest wife of the Shi family. Let's say it's been more than a year, but the days when I was happy at my grandmother's knees are really real." It's limited, and it's normal for grandma to be partial."
Xuejuan said, "The old lady is just Miss Shi's aunt. Miss Shi has a aunt, an uncle and an aunt. Why did the old lady bring her here to raise her?"
Xueyan said, "You don't even know that, Bai followed the girl out for a day."
Xuejuan said, "Just this morning you found out something again."
Xueyan raised her head and said, "It's only now that I remembered to ask me. Sister Xuecui has already asked."
Xuecui explained, "Miss Shi's father, Shizi Baoling Hou, had been married for many years and had no children. Later, Miss Shi finally had Miss Shi. Miss Shi's aunt went there when she gave birth to Miss Shi. After a year, she had no children. Linghou's eldest son also passed away, and Miss Shi's aunt was not in good health, so the old lady brought Miss Shi to raise her. When she was four or five years old, Miss Shi's aunt also went, and Miss Shi came back Keep filial piety at home."
Daiyu said, "It's really rare for Sister Yun to be so cheerful with such an embarrassing identity."
Daiyu didn't go to Jia Mu's place at night, but took her two younger brothers to eat at home. Daiyu said, "Be careful when you go to that mansion in the future. Not only is Sister Bao here, this time there is another Sister Yun, these are relatives who have taken a detour from the Lin family, and if they don't work out, they will collide with each other, so be careful."
Haoxuan said, "Grandma's family doesn't pay attention to these things. It doesn't matter if my brother and I are boys, but my sister should be more careful."
Daiyu said, "I'm fine. The two gentlemen followed me closely, and even bad words couldn't reach me."
The next morning, Daiyu was speechless about the news she heard. Shi Xiangyun actually slept in Jiamu's house. I wonder if it was because Daiyu didn't live in Jiamu's house. Baoyu didn't move out, but He has been living with Jia Mu all the time, and Sanchun has not moved the yard. He has been in Jiamu's yard all the time. When Shi Xiangyun comes, it is better to live with Sanchun whoever he wants than to live with Jiamu.
Seeing Xueyan's expression of wanting to gossip like the past, Daiyu nodded her head fiercely and said, "It's better to stay at home, I won't go there today."
Xueyan gossiped, "Girl, Miss Shi is the same age as you."
Daiyu nodded and said, "Sister Yun, the third sister, the three of us are all of the same age, it's just that my birthday is older."
Xueyan said, "If the two Mrs. Shi knew about this, they would probably even have the heart to eat Miss Shi alive."
Daiyu said, "Is this so serious? As long as it doesn't spread to the outside world, the two wives of the Shi family will be unhappy at best."
Chen Siji sighed, "Everyone thinks it's hard to be a stepmother, but actually it's the most difficult thing to raise the orphans of brothers and sisters-in-law. Fortunately, Miss Smith is born of a concubine, and it would be even more troublesome if she was a descendant."
Daiyu said, "If it's a concubine, the historians can't let my grandmother pick it up as soon as she says it will."
Shi Xiangyun lived like a fish in water in Jia's house. The most amazing thing about Shi Xiangyun is that she doesn't reward Jia's servants very much. Jia's servants seldom say anything bad about her. Jia's servants dare not say that Daiyu is Because Wang Sifu Chen Siji, otherwise it would not be easy to escape the mouths of the servants of Jia's family, just relying on a little Daiyu to admire her.
Tanchun Baochai is no longer targeting Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun's hostility towards Daiyu disappeared that day, and with her carefree temper, Daiyu is not very disgusted with getting along with the girls, the laughter in the Rongguo Mansion is daily Day after day, Shi Xiangyun, Baochai and Sanchun came to the front yard together, but Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and then she laughed, "How did you get together?"
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "Brother Ai lost a bet yesterday, and he was being punished for copying books. We looked at it for a while, but it was boring. The fourth sister said that she would come to sister Lin, so we all followed."
Daiyu smiled and said, "This is really rare, second cousin still has time to pick up a pen."
Xiang Yun said, "If Brother Ai likes copying books, it's no fun to win the bet, isn't it?"
Daiyu thought it was funny when she thought of Baoyu copying the book with a sad face, and the distress of all the sisters who had no one to accompany her. Xiangyun said, "Sister Bao has a way, otherwise I won't be able to punish Brother Ai."
Daiyu turned her beautiful eyes, looked at Xichun and blinked, and smiled even more happily.
Xichun said, "What did sister do just now?"
Daiyu said, "Yesterday, the paint you had left was better and still usable, so I painted it twice."
When everyone heard this, they insisted on seeing how Daiyu painted it. There was nothing to hide from people. Daiyu led the people and passed. What Daiyu painted was a picture of a kingfisher in a bamboo forest, and all the bamboos were painted well. Yes, there are still a few birds left.
Xiangyun looked at it and said with a smile, "I think it's stronger than the fourth sister."
Xichun raised her head and said, "Of course my sister is stronger than me." After Xichun finished speaking, she pestered Daiyu to ask her to take it back when she finished painting, and to show a small kang screen like this, so Daiyu would paint after washing her hands stand up.
Baochai looked at Daiyu wearing a white magenta cotton damask skirt with a red edge, a bun with eight treasures and a white jade hairpin holding the sleeve of the other hand so that it would not interfere with painting. Swiping a brush to paint, the two eyebrows frown slightly together, making it difficult to tell whether it is a picture of a beautiful woman who is elegant and fairy-like or the beauty is painting. Baochai is most grateful for Daiyu's appearance at this time. Baoyu It will never be opened, and Baochai came back to his senses when Daiyu finished all the drawings and took back her pen.
Xiangyun looked at Baochai and said with a smile, "Sister Lin's paintings are beautiful, so Sister Bao shouldn't be dumbfounded."
Baochai smiled slightly and said, "The fourth younger sister is dumbfounded now."
Xichun hugged Daiyu's arm and said proudly, "I see that my sister was stunned not once or twice."
Xiang Yun scratched his face and said, "What a shameless girl."
Xichun giggled and ignored Xiangyun at all.
But Daiyu said with a smile, "You guys are here to make fun of me. If you keep doing this, I won't open the door next time."
Xichun smiled and said, "Yes, when I come in, I will shut you out, so that you will know how to make fun of us all day long."
Xiangyun pinched his waist and said, "Well, you fourth sister, I returned to Sister Yun on the way here just now, Sister Yun kept yelling, and now she's rebellious, let's see how I deal with you."
Xichun started running around the house, and finally the two of them laughed and quarreled.
Daiyu tidied Xichun's hair with a small comb, and said to Yingchun, who was combing Xiangyun's hair, "It's usually enough to have a little lunatic, but it's really hard to make a pair now." .”
Xiangyun smiled and said, "It's the fourth sister and I who are the most interesting. You play chess, paint or play the piano and read books all day long. What's the point?"
Daiyu smiled and said, "If my grandmother hears this, she should have a headache."
Xiang Yun said, "No, the old lady loves us the most, it's too late to see us happy."
Xichun just smiled but didn't speak.Everyone kept making trouble at the Lin family's place until Haoxuan Haoyu came back.
When Haoxuan Haoyu came back, he brought back a message to Daiyu that the First Prince had set off with an army of [-] troops transferred from the nearest Hebei.
Daiyu's heart skipped a beat. The saint has favored concubine Zhen for many years. If the eldest prince drives the Tartars back outside Beiting Pass, the next emperor will be a certainty. Even if the saint does not appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, but this The military power is in the hands of the eldest prince. Whether the saint can sit firmly on the throne is another matter. This is really not good news for the Lin family. Daiyu can only pray that the fifth prince will succeed as soon as possible. people have.
Compared with Daiyu's worries, Jia Mu had a good night's sleep, and she was in the mood to let several girls laugh around her. This joke really made Jia Mu realize that something was wrong. There are no secrets among the girls, everyone just doesn't understand, and everyone knows the attitude of the second wife, even if they are all girls who have not left the cabinet, it is not easy to make fun of this, Jia Mu observed for two days and found that it was Mrs. Wang Supporting, Mother Jia was so angry that her lungs exploded. She never thought that Mrs. Wang, who had just bowed her head to her for a long time, turned back and got such a girl from a businessman's family to be her daughter-in-law.
In the eyes of Jiamu, the eldest prince is already the next emperor. The relationship between the Zhen family and the Jia family is much better than that of the Wang family. He went to pay his respects to Mrs. Wang, because Daiyu had been hiding from Baoyu, and because Daiyu was not very kind to Baoyu, Mother Jia's idea of making Daiyu her granddaughter-in-law faded a lot, so she pulled Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu together every day. Let Mrs. Wang grit her silver teeth.
With Jia's mother's support, Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu became even better. Today they fished fish, and tomorrow they picked flowers. Let Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang set up the rules, but Baochai can hold her breath. Baoyu only cares about playing with Xiangyun every day, and she is still gentle and virtuous as usual, no different from the past.
The girls just had two days of peace and harmony, and now there is a lot of war.Even Yingchun couldn't take it anymore and hid with Xichun at Daiyu's place.
Yingchun is already 14 years old this year, and the elders and wives still don't care about her. Sometimes Daiyu is anxious for her, but this one is still living a leisurely life. Daiyu has no choice but to ask "two Sister, I will send someone to Yangzhou to deliver things in a few days, do you have something for Brother Lian and Sister Feng?"
Yingchun shook her head and said, "Where can I have anything, the master and wife can't wait to see the sky to send things over there, and it's not enough for me to make people laugh."
Xichun said, "Second sister, Brother Lian and Sister Feng don't lack your share. It's also good for you as a real aunt to make two small clothes for the children in Brother Maoer and Sister Feng's belly, whether they wear them or not. A heart."
Yingchun just shook her head and didn't say anything.
Xichun wanted to jump up and argue with Yingchun, but seeing Yingchun's appearance, she was discouraged and stopped talking.
Daiyu recalled that Jia Min Wuyi had mentioned the cause of Zhang's death back then, the risky birth of Jia Lian was the main reason, and the fact that Jia Lian was taken away by Jia's mother on the one hand, and the other was Yingchun's aunt, a noble concubine who came into the mansion On the one hand, he just went there early, or else he was taking good care of himself, but he couldn't get better, and it would not be a problem to live for two more years. He probably knew about it by looking at Yingchun's appearance.
Daiyu could only say, "No matter how you say it, brother Lian is the real brother of the second sister, and he is always closer than others. No matter how many things happen, it has nothing to do with the second sister. How do you know that Lian's brother Feng My sister is not rare."
Yingchun's eyes were red when he heard this, and tears rolled in his eye sockets, making people look so pitiful, and actually said, "I wanted to do it, but I don't have any material that is suitable for making clothes for children. , the monthly cases are all in the hands of the grandma, and I can't buy them anything. I really don't know what to give Mao Geer."
After hearing this, Xichun immediately said, "My good sister, it's not too late for you to have said this a long time ago. The old man has sent a lot of things to Anhuai. Sister Feng and the others are not short of the ones we bought, but It's just a gift, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law just sent two pieces of Yuehua brocade a few days ago, it's perfect for making clothes for children, I'll send them to you in a while."
Daiyu laughed and said, "The Yuehua brocade was originally sent from Jiangnan. Sister Feng will never lack it, but I got some new Sichuan brocade with checkered flowers. Brother Mao is almost three years old. Wearing that is the best." It couldn't be more beautiful."
As Daiyu said that, she asked someone to take out the material. Shu brocade is the most colorful, but it will look good on children.
Unexpectedly, Yingchun didn't show courtesy to Daiyu, so she put away the things, and said with a choked voice, "I'm afraid that my two sisters will treat me in vain."
Daiyu said, "What carelessness? What is the value of such two horses? In the future, the second sister must return us twenty horses."
Daiyu didn't know that one of her jokes made Yingchun remember her for a lifetime. After Yingchun came out of the cabinet, she would send Daiyu Xichun a lot of various fabrics every year. There is no need for people to buy them up and down.”
Yingchun didn't take the fabric back, but often came to Daiyu's place to sit for a day. She didn't want to disturb Daiyu's things, so she often sat on the porch to show and do. Daiyu knew Yingchun, so she didn't force Yingchun back to the house. On the contrary, Chen Siji would often talk to Yingchun, and occasionally Yingchun would go to the east wing with Chen Siji for a sit-down.
The days passed so slowly, and Shi Xiangyun did not return to the historian's house in April. The historian sent someone to pick him up, and asked Jia Mu to return, saying that it was too long since he had seen Shi Xiangyun, and asked her to stay longer. Yu was very happy about this, and when Shi Xiangyun added Baochai here, Baoyu had even less time to pester her.
Xichun followed Daiyu to make zongzi, Xichun smiled and said, "Sister, this zongzi is so small, it's not enough for two of us."
Daiyu said, "That's how we can eat a few more kinds, otherwise two of them will be enough, how can we eat?"
Xichun smiled and said, "I just like ham stuffing."
Daiyu said, "You like to eat rice dumplings from the south. I see that most of the rice dumplings made in this house are made with vegetarian fillings. There are still some days before the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's try making more hams and eat them during the Dragon Boat Festival." Xichun nodded and smiled.
Daiyu was born with the idea of making zongzi, and she was hooked up by Cai Yahui. The atmosphere in Beijing is not very good. Cai Yahui, Ke Youbo and others are also staying at home honestly. Yesterday, Cai Yahui sent Daiyu There is a box of small rice dumplings filled with various flowers and nectar, as well as fruit fillings, and top-quality glutinous rice. They are colorful and crystal-clear, making people unbearable to eat.
Daiyu looked at all kinds of meat stuffing and salted egg yolk stuffing in her home and said with a smile, "It's wrapped here, I'm embarrassed to send it to Sister Yahui and the others."
Xichun thought about the jasmine paper dumplings that Cai Yahui usually used to write letters with Daiyu yesterday, Xichun could only say dryly, "Great vulgarity is elegance, and a person as elegant as Miss Cai will definitely know it."
Daiyu burst out laughing, and the two snacks laughed at each other.
Before Daiyu and Xichun could figure out which kind of fillings were the most delicious, the capital was thrown into chaos when the Daya rice dumplings were sent out. The son broke through two cities within three days, the eldest prince Situ Wen fled back to Beijing after defeat, and the whole Beijing was in chaos.The Shi family hastily picked up Shi Xiangyun, and the atmosphere of the Jia family became serious. Even Jia Jing came back from the Taoist temple, Xichun also returned to Ningguo Mansion, Haoxuan Haoyu didn't go to class, and stayed at home , there were more and more refugees outside the city, and many families began to pack their things and transport them to the south of the Yangtze River. The Jia family also took action, and the whole capital was shrouded in a serious atmosphere.
The eldest prince knelt outside the Jingtai Hall with a pale face, and the saint asked his confidant Feng Nian with a livid face, "Can Pingcheng be kept?"
The Jingying Jiedu envoy Feng Niandao "can't grasp the third level."
The sage turned around in the room and cursed, "That Nizi, who has no skills but wants to ask for a job, has caused me to be greatly admired."
Feng Nian just knelt, the saint helped Feng Nian to get up, and said, "I wronged you some time ago."
Feng Nian said, "It's all for the emperor, and the minister will not be wronged."
When the fifth prince and Feng Nian passed by, Feng Nian nodded his head in a subtle way, and saw the fifth prince, Situ Zhe, walking in anxiously. The saint asked in a bad tone, "How is the situation in Beijing?" .”
The fifth prince was a little bit embarrassed, but he still replied eagerly, "Going back to the emperor, there are more refugees, but there are not many big families in Beijing who can provide porridge sheds. Only relying on the official family is a drop in the bucket. I am afraid that if things go on like this, there will be a civil uprising."
The sage said furiously, "Are those people just patronizing their own escape, and they don't care about anything? What's the use of the court supporting them?"
The fifth prince stopped talking, and the sage continued walking. The sage didn't like the fifth prince very much, but the older princes died, circled around, and the family background was too low. In the end, there was only one son that the sage could use.The sage thought about something, and stopped abruptly. As soon as the sage stopped, his head became dizzy, and he almost didn't fall down.
He waved his hand to let the fifth prince go away, and the saint summoned the inner guards again. After three days, Pingcheng became more and more dangerous. In order to pass it on to the fifth prince, Situ Zhe, and in the third to blockade the capital, only allowed to enter but not to leave. Of course, the saint himself retreated to the Jinling Palace.
When Daiyu knew the emperor's three imperial edicts, she almost cursed, she didn't act like the emperor and her father.The fifth prince is the only prince in this dynasty who ascended to the throne before the emperor died, and the only prince who did not have a grand enthronement ceremony. Of course, he is also very likely to be the first emperor to be beaten to the door of his house. Shandong, Hebei Other places dispatched troops to support Pingcheng, but barely defended Pingcheng, and Micheng did not take it back.
The fifth prince didn't care about this, but asked his confidantes, "Is everything arranged at Father's place?"
A man who could never be found in the crowd said, "I have mixed according to the order of the third prince."
The fifth prince sighed and said, "You said third brother, why is he bothering?"
The man did not speak, and the Fifth Prince did not expect the man to answer. The current sage, Situ Zhe, looked at the flying flowers outside the window, retreated from the foolish, filial and gentle skin in front of the world, and revealed his own elegance. The sword in the sheath is magnificent and sharp.
Because of the emperor's will when he abdicated, Daiyu and others completely cut off contact with the outside world. Fortunately, before that, the Lin family siblings received Lin Ruhai's letter of safety and the fifth prince's warning, telling them that as long as they live well in Rongguo Mansion Just stay and don't do anything.
The Daiyu siblings were anxious even after receiving instructions from the fifth prince, the current sage, to keep them honest. Now, Jia Baoyu is still leisurely leading the girls to make rouge. Daiyu received a box of lipstick It looks like lip balm, and I really feel that if the Rongguo Mansion doesn't raid the house, it will be hell.
Haoxuan looked at Jia Baoyu with a dark face, and asked unkindly, "Second cousin, the battle in Pingcheng is at stake, and the Tartars are likely to come to the city. You are still in the mood to make rouge at this time."
Baoyu made Haoxuan feel a little guilty when he asked, but he still frowned and said, "Brother Xuan, leading troops to fight is the job of generals, you and I are anxious about what it will do to Pingcheng."
Haoxuan even made Baoyu laugh angrily, and asked, "It's the job of generals to lead troops to fight. This refugee has been in Beijing for more than two months. Did the second cousin pay a visit?"
Baoyu said, "Old lady, my wife has already sent someone to set up a porridge shed, where free porridge is provided for refugees every day. I have done everything that can be done."
Haoxuan stopped talking to Baoyu directly, this time he was sure that Baoyu was not pretending to be stupid, he was really stupid.Rongguo Mansion’s reputation for serving porridge this time is so good that it doesn’t smell like a street. There are many kinds of moldy rice porridge, clear soup and porridge, but Ningguo Mansion is much better, at least similar to most families in Beijing, but Xue’s family is better than Rongguo Mansion. Baoyu actually said that he had done everything he could, and Haoxuan just opened his mouth to push him away.
Hao Xuan said, "Second Cousin, please go back, my sister is worried about my father, and she is praying for him."
Hao Xuan looked at Jia Baoyu with a dark face, but Jia Baoyu had no choice but to leave angrily.
Mother Jia is also anxious to get angry recently, not to mention whether soldiers will come to the city and threaten the safety of Beijing, but the two invested by the Jia family, the third prince has been imprisoned, so after all, he is still a member of the royal family, and the eldest prince will directly become a member of the royal family. The five princes who had never been treated by the common people became the emperor. Concubine Zhen and the emperor returned to Jinling. There was a fire in the house, and at this moment, Jia Baoyu was still hiding it, for fear of frightening Jia Baoyu.
Seeing Baoyu come back angrily, Mother Jia smiled and asked, "What's the matter with Baoyu? Didn't you say that she sent rouge to Sister Lin?"
Baoyu said angrily, "Brother Xuan is on guard and won't let in, saying that sister Lin is chanting scriptures and praying for Uncle Lin."
Jia's mother coaxed, "Your sister Lin is the most filial. I can't get in touch with your uncle at this time. I have to be anxious. After two days, my ancestors will call your sister Lin over to play."
Baoyu nodded reluctantly. Mother Jia watched Baoyu go in to take a nap, so she called in a girl who followed the Lin family today and asked what was going on.
Xi Ren said, "A while ago, the second master was tired from reading, and when he was bored, he made two boxes of rouge with Miss Shi. Today, the rouge has just been made. The servant girl sees that the second master is depressed these days, thinking that the second master is usually the favorite. Miss Lin persuaded the second master to send a box to Miss Lin. When she arrived at Miss Lin's place, Mrs. Wang came out to stop her, and then Uncle Lin came over for some reason. After saying a few words to the second master, the second master gave birth Anger is back."
Jia Mu frowned and said, "Haoxuan said something about Baoyu."
Xi Ren said, "The slaves are far away, and they can't hear clearly. They just heard something about Pingcheng. It seems that the second master should not have fun at this time."
Jia's mother frowned even tighter, recalling her dissatisfaction with the Lin family siblings a few days ago. She repeatedly ordered Baoyu not to tell Baoyu about these things. The Jia family did a good job, and Jia Baoyu didn't know much Haoxuan actually talked about Baoyu because of this, which made Jia's mother angry, but now the situation of Jia's family is not optimistic. Jia's two sides have supported it for many years, and the treasury is mostly empty. Jia's mother could only grab what she could use, that is, she would not let Mrs. Wang set the rules, and she would not keep Baoyu. He also brought some food to the Lin family siblings.
Yuanyang said, "The old lady knew that Miss Lin was chanting scriptures and praying for the aunt, and she was very worried. At this time, there are not many delicious things in the city. I was afraid that Miss Lin would not eat well, so I asked my maidservant to bring some fruits over."
Daiyu said, "Grandmother has to worry about it. In the future, grandma will send something. Sister Yuanyang will help persuade me. At this time, we sister and brother don't talk about honoring grandma, but let grandma worry about us. I really feel sorry for it. "
Yuanyang smiled and said, "The old lady loves the girl and the two brothers the most. You make the old lady happier after eating than her old lady."
Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said, "It's all about grandma's kindness."
When the mandarin ducks went back, they didn't go back empty-handed. The pickles pickled by the old man Chuan, the high-quality bird's nest, wild ginseng, etc. were all sent to Jia Mu.
Haoyu sighed and said, "These few fruits from grandma are really expensive."
Daiyu patted him and said, "Grandmother is mother's mother no matter what. If you can be filial, you should be filial, and you will repay the grace of birth for mother. Let me listen to you next time." If so, see if I won’t sue your father for you.”
Haoyu stood obediently and stopped talking.
