The maid of the red house

Daiyu didn't know that because she rewarded Jiahui with two rings, all these things happened. Fortunately, she knew that she brought her family property to join her, even if she spent some money, it was only her own, otherwise she just relied on other people's gifts If she gave it away with her own heart and didn't hand it over to the public, it was enough for the servants of the Rongguo Mansion to say that she was wrong.

At this time, Xueyan's use of befriending the little girls in private became apparent. Unlike Yinger's win-win for a golden and jade marriage, Xueyan only wanted to be better with her eyes and ears. Therefore, Yinger had Chunyan complaining, and she had Jiahui Pass the message.

After listening to it, Xueyan's expression was slightly restrained, and she sighed: "What's your rivalry with others? When you get something, you prefer to show it. Be careful when others are jealous, and secretly say you are frivolous, which will trip you up. According to me , If you get something good, you just hide it for yourself and don’t let others know about it. Besides, we girls don’t compete with Miss Bao, so why bother to compare them!”

As he spoke, he grabbed two more handfuls of fruit and gave them to Jiahui, with a gentle smile, and said: "Our girl is young and thin-skinned, and she lives in seclusion now, so she can't let others talk about it, she might ruin her identity, and she's afraid that others will say it. Our girl just brought two family properties and made a publicity. It's not good to spread the word. Since Miss Bao is good with the big and small sisters in your room, let them go. You will offend people by arguing with these two sentences. You There is no shortage of those two old clothes, a few rings and earrings."

After hearing this, Jiahui didn't speak for a long time.

After a while Xue Yanfang said: "My good sister, if you think about the benefits of our girl in the future, you can just praise our girl to rectify her reputation, don't compare with Miss Bao, no one will think that we are immature."

Jiahui was enlightened immediately, she nodded suddenly and said, "I remember, sister, don't worry!"

Everyone knows Jia's mother's desire to match up Shuangyu, but Xueyan feels that Jia Baoyu is not Daiyu's good match, it is not love, but reality, and there is the mother-in-law Mrs. Wang who sees Daiyu's dislike everywhere, You can't let the servants chew their tongues and ruin Daiyu's reputation. It would be better if Shuangyu got married, but if it doesn't work out, with such a reputation, who would be willing to hire Daiyu?

Although love is free in modern society, here is a feudal society, and one's own thoughts cannot retreat and stick to the rules of three obediences and four virtues, men are superior to women, and women are inferior to feudal women, but the necessary rules must be followed.

Xueyan is very willing for Daiyu to marry someone she loves and loves her, and doesn't want her to become the second Baochai, but can she rest assured of someone like Baoyu?What she was afraid of was that Daiyu and Baoyu fell in love, but ended up dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang. As a result of a happy marriage, at this time Daiyu lost both fame and love.

Sighing, he couldn't separate Daiyu and Baoyu suddenly, so he had to take his time.

After Jiahui left, Xueyan pondered for a moment, found Daiyu and said: "Now it's hot today, the girl doesn't like to move around, and the mansion also demolished the garden because of the construction of the family's villa, the girl has nowhere to go, since tomorrow How about teaching me how to read and write?"

In the past few days, Daiyu has been busy giving gifts and other things, so she has no time to worry about spring and autumn, and has no time to play with Baoyu. Seeing that her spirit has improved a bit, after the Dragon Boat Festival, she suddenly becomes relaxed. Xueyan just wanted to keep her busy.

She flipped through Daiyu's book and recognized the handwriting at this time. It's just that she was busy in her previous life and had very little free time. Although she had taken special calligraphy classes and practiced calligraphy for several years, she hadn't cultivated her character. His spirit cannot be top-notch, and it happened to be cheap by Daiyu's side, so she wanted to pick up the way of calligraphy again and practice it hard.

Dai Yu had just finished taking care of everything in the room and was taking a rest. She turned her head and stared quietly at Xue Yan's rosy white face, which was even more charming and charming, with a trace of surprise and amazement in her eyes, and said: "I used to preach When you read books, you always say that your brain hurts when you see books, and you have to persuade me many times before you can recognize a few words, why do you remember now that you want to read?"

In the Rongguo Mansion, only Lin Daiyu hoped that her close maids would be well-educated, wishing that they could all study.

Knowing Daiyu's enthusiasm, Xueyan said with a smile: "People often say that reading, being sensible, and being a magistrate. Although I am a girl, I don't know how to recite poems and compose Fu, but I want to be a sensible person! Besides, I have a poetry and book spirit in my belly. Hua, for such a fairy-like girl, the girls around her should be more refined, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke?"

Daiyu saw that she was very interested, so she asked Zijuan to bring her pen and ink, and said, "Tell me to see how your skill is now."

Even though Xueyan just wanted to read and practice calligraphy, Daiyu was happy to teach her.

Zijuan laughed beside him and said, "Amitabha, when Xueyan has practiced her calligraphy, she will be asked to write all the accounts in our room in the future." It's just a blind person who shouldn't open his eyes.

Xueyan said: "I haven't practiced my handwriting well yet, my sister came to order me around." He picked up the pen and did it with a swipe.

Daiyu picked it up and looked at it carefully. The handwriting was beautiful, but it was more than correct and lacked strength of character. Fang nodded and smiled after half a day: "I didn't expect that you haven't written in front of me for a few years, and your handwriting is getting better and better. I just look at it. , I have a large pile of authentic scriptures by famous masters here, and from tomorrow onwards, you will practice with a heavy object on your wrist."

Said, asked Zijuan to pack up a lot of pens and inks for her to use.

Xueyan smiled and said, "Young lady taught me with all her heart, it's my luck."

Daiyu is a good teacher, as can be seen from the behavior of teaching Xiangling in the original book. She is so enthusiastic about other people's maids, Xue Pan's concubine, let alone her own close maid?I am very dedicated.Although Xueyan is a girl, she is no different from a young lady. There are little girls and rough envoys serving tea and water. They don't usually do much work, so Daiyu simply asked her to study hard and not have to do hard work.

Daiyu has a heart, but Xueyan refuses to be proud of being favored, so she discusses with Daiyu, reading and practicing calligraphy in the morning, and doing needlework in the afternoon.

Daiyu thought about it and agreed.

In the early morning of the second day, after Xueyan got up to wash and wash, and the master and servant had eaten, Daiyu hurriedly taught Xueyan.

Zijuan laughed and said: "Usually only the girl gets up to read in the morning, but now there is an extra snow goose, isn't the girl excited?

Because Xueyan didn't learn many things in the past, and many of them could recognize a few words like swallowing dates, but not all of them. Now it's rare to see her improve, so Daiyu started teaching her from elementary school, teaching her to read and write, While explaining, not to mention the names of hundreds of families, the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic are easy to understand and catchy, and contain almost all contemporary astronomical, geographical, and historical allusions. They are must-learn books.

Xueyan studied very hard, and it was almost noon before it came to an end.

Daiyu stretched herself, holding the scroll in one hand, and leaning on the big case under the window with the other, she was light and agile, her eyes full of praise, and said: "I think it's because your spiritual orifice has been opened, and you can learn it so fast. If it was like this before Why don't you worry about not being able to recite poems and compose Fu today?"

"Girl, don't embarrass me, but I'm older, I remember a little faster, and it's too early to write poems and poems." I don't know if it's because of the time travel, Xueyan's memory is much better than before, although it is not impossible to remember , but after three or five times, you can remember it by heart, Daiyu is very surprised, and very happy again.

Daiyu was about to speak when she suddenly heard Baoyu's voice outside Qiansha's window and said with a smile, "Who wants to recite poems and compose poems? But snow geese?"

While speaking, she opened the curtain and came in. Daiyu's master and servant looked up, and saw that he was wearing a brand new silver-red gauze shirt and red trousers with blood spots, his face was whiter than snow, and his eyes were clearer than water. , What a good son in troubled times.

Xueyan unconsciously admired it inwardly, no wonder everyone in the original book took a fancy to this precious jade, just this appearance and demeanor is already impressive.

Although Baoyu sees Daiyu every day, he looks at them, one master and one servant, one elegant and the other elegant, with fragrant sleeves and bright wrists like jade, with a fresh air of books all over their bodies, and there is a kind of gentleness of Jiangnan water town almost overflowing The screen window has been stunned for a long time, and it took half a day to recover, and smiled again: "Sister, is this a master? Great! I said that women in the world are very pure and white, like flowers like snow geese. Characters like willows complement each other by being able to read and write, and we have one more poet."

Before the others did anything, Daiyu first became happy and said, "You really are not an ordinary person."

Before the words were finished, Baochai suddenly came over and asked with a smile, "Who writes poetry? I haven't heard of it. Tell me to hear the story."

Taking a closer look, I saw that Xueyan was packing up his pen and ink. He was hanging a heavy object on his wrist because he was practicing calligraphy. A section of his wrist as white as white jade was slightly red and swollen. read?"

Daiyu nodded and smiled.

Xueyan felt a little strange, the Rongguo Mansion had just gone to the south to buy opera performers, so Lixiangyuan was still lived in by Xue's family, but it was very far from Jia Mu's main house, one was in the northeast corner and the other was in the southwest corner. Just followed?

Could it be that he has clairvoyance and ears?Xueyan thought amusedly.

But Baochai glanced at her, and then said to Daiyu seriously: "My sister shouldn't teach her. It's men's business to read and understand. Our girls' family should focus on chastity and quietness, and do some needlework. Why bother to teach her?" The little girl can read these things, and she has a high spirit, so she is unscrupulous, unwilling to be poor and lowly, afraid that she will not learn other principles, so she first learned a whole body of exquisite naughtiness."

After hearing Baochai's words, Xueyan raised her head to look at her. With her personality, it's no wonder that Xiangling learned to compose poetry, so she would look far away.

Xueyan turned her head and saw that Baoyu's face was very ugly. He had just praised herself, and Baochai said this.

There is only Daiyu who shares the same ideals with Baoyu. The two souls are connected and their spirits resonate. There is Mrs. Wang, a mother who loves Baochai, and there is a golden jade relationship with monks and Taoists. Xueyan secretly sighed.

Daiyu was always arrogant and always thought that Baochai was hiding a traitor. How could she be willing to hear such words, so she sneered and said: "My girl does not study, so I don't need outsiders to worry about it. Besides, my sister always said these things to teach us Why didn’t I see my sister set an example when I was young? Who in the whole family didn’t know that my sister had no books? She even knew the advantages and disadvantages of hot and cold wine! A blind man who can't read can only have the status and confidence to say this! Now that he has read a lot of books, he says that others should not be able to read and write, there is no such reason in the world!"

What a sharp tongue, what a sharp tone!Xueyan heard it heartily and applauded secretly.No wonder people say that Daiyu is mean and doesn't like to forgive others, but in her eyes, how can people not love or pity someone with such a true temperament?

Baochai was rendered speechless by her refutation, and Baoyu kept nodding her head in agreement. Thanks to her steady, dignified and generous nature, she didn't take these words to heart. Others would have been annoyed, so she said with a smile: "It's just a point for me to mention in vain, but it has attracted you to refute with a long and eloquent article. I dare not say it again because you are so powerful in your mouth."

Daiyu said calmly: "The sage said that you should not do to others what you don't want to do to yourself. Since my sister has read the book, she should learn from the sage's teaching."
