The maid of the red house

Hearing that Princess Yongchang wanted to be a matchmaker for herself, Daiyu was so ashamed that she lowered her head and said nothing, her blush spread from her cheeks to her ears, from her ears to her neck, as bright as the morning sun, if it wasn't for the fact that there were so many female guests in the hall, without permission, she I hid in the back early.

Sang's mother was moved in her heart, knowing that Princess Yongchang's words today were definitely not aimless, she must have made up her mind, she was about to ask, but she thought that Daiyuchang should not hear these things, so she hurriedly asked Mrs. Xu to send Daiyu there Later, I asked Sang Wan and Sang Yuan, saying that the daughters of each family are behind, so we might as well get together.

Xu hurriedly agreed with a smile, and Daiyu also confessed to the public and walked back.

After Daiyu left, Xueyan followed, and Sang Mufang smiled and complimented: "The princess values ​​this cousin, it is her blessing, the two nuns around her are still from the princess, and they taught her well. Very good, we are really grateful to the princess. It’s just that we can’t be her masters, we need Shi Taijun from the Rongguo Mansion. When the princess asks what Shi Taijun means, let us know that for the sake of this child’s life, we must respect the princess well. A few glasses of wine."

The family background that can bother Princess Yongchang is definitely not too bad, and Princess Yongchang doesn't bother to be a matchmaker if the family background is low.

Xue Yan hadn't stepped out of the main hall, so she heard these words naturally.

When everyone looked at Daiyu's back, their eyes were no longer as compassionate as before. No matter how helpless she is now, her husband's family will always be the main one in the future. , is also worth visiting.

Only Xueyan had mixed joys and sorrows. The happy one was that even though Jia Mu could not protect Daiyu in the future, the Rongguo Mansion would not be able to dismiss her casually, but the worry was that she didn't know what kind of home Princess Yongchang would find for Daiyu. Still, if bullying Daiyu's natal family is not good for Daiyu, then it's better to marry Jia Baoyu who knows everything.

Following Daiyu and socializing, from the few words of the maids of various families, Xueyan knows more things, and the more she understands Baoyu's temperament.

It's a pity that Jia Baoyu has a mother who doesn't like Daiyu.

However, with a Baoshan like Princess Yongchang, Daiyu will never live too badly. If Daiyu's life is not good, wouldn't it be a shame to Princess Yongchang?So Xueyan felt a little relieved, even though she had already left the main hall, she could still hear Princess Yongchang's laughter, and said, "Being a matchmaker in person, would Shi Taijun refuse? Don't even think about asking Baoshan to refuse!"

The crowd joked: "That's right, you can't even ask for blessings, there is no reason not to agree."

After that, Xueyan couldn't hear it anymore.

Mother Sang said with a smile: "That's right, we girls will ask the princess to take care of you in the future."

Princess Yongchang pursed her lips, took a sip of tea, and said: "Although Miss Lin is not very old, she is a needleworker, a housekeeper, and a director, and she is good at socializing. Seeing that she is really nice, otherwise I wouldn't do this job." Besides, although Lin Da is gone, he died in office and made contributions to the country, and now only this daughter is left, how can he stand on the sidelines?"

When talking to Mrs. Zhang the day before, Mrs. Zhang mentioned this matter, saying that her niece had already been engaged since she was younger than Daiyu. It was said that Princess Yongchang was entrusted by Lin Ruhai, and both husband and wife were very worried about Daiyu's future. , took over the matter.Anyway, it is a matter of her words, so as to save Rongguo Mansion from making random decisions and make Daiyu's life safe, she can be regarded as a meritorious person. When the time comes to talk about marriage, she will discuss with Mrs. Zhang and choose a noble family for Daiyu A good product is complete.

Hearing this, Sang's mother's gray eyebrows could not help but raise, and everyone also showed a look of surprise, did they notice that Daiyu is a little orphan?If this is the case, it would be a surprise to Daiyu.

The wife of Yang Da, the admiral of the Nine Gates, smiled and said to Sang's mother: "Princess said this, so it can be seen that Miss Lin is really good. If you have Princess Baoshan, you always let go of this heart. If the princess forgets tomorrow, we To testify and remind the princess. You always just save the dowry for Miss Lin, and it will definitely be posted tomorrow, and everyone will say that you are good."

When the word dowry was mentioned, he immediately said: "I heard in a daze that Mr. Shi Taijun of Rongguo Mansion moved all the things left by Mrs. Lin to Mrs. Lin's room and told her to keep it by herself. Mrs. Madam, is it true?"

Hearing that all the belongings left by Lin Ruhai were moved to Daiyu's room, Sang's mother sneered in her heart. How could the things that had been spent and misappropriated be turned back to Daiyu? The screen and bonsai must be returned to her. I don't know how many are left, so I said with surprise on the face: "Where did you say this? I haven't heard Yu'er mention it."

Even if Sangmu guessed Jiamu's actions, she knew that Daiyu's words could not come from Daiyu's mouth, so she asked this question.

Na smiled and said: "If the old matriarch doesn't know, we don't even know. It's just asking for nothing."

Everyone also nodded, their eyes full of curiosity, Daiyu is good, her background is good, these are not worthy of their discussion, the most important thing for a girl's family is the dowry, if there is no dowry, no matter how good Daiyu is, they are not willing to ask for it for their son. marry it!

When the mistresses of each family are socializing, they talk about these things, which family is outstanding, which girl is virtuous, and which girl has the most dowry. Princess Yongchang understands that they all want to know how much Daiyu's dowry is left, but she also has how much dowry. Very curious, she said to Sang's mother: "I don't know such a big thing? Thanks to her cousin and aunt, I really don't know what to say."

Mother Sang wanted to let everyone know how much Daiyu's property is now, and she is waiting to be married for nothing, lest she will lose even this little thing in the future. Hurry up, she just arrived today, and we haven't talked about Tiji, so we don't know. Since the princess asked, I don't know, why don't you call the girl over to ask? This cousin has a loyal maidservant, the most loyal one, the one around Yu'er She doesn't know anything about it."

Princess Yongchang didn't speak when she heard that, everyone said: "Call here quickly."

After hearing this, Sang's mother sent to call Xueyan.

When I was young, Xueyan came over and listened to the questions from the crowd, and felt amused in my heart. It turned out that these mistresses usually talked about these news when they were socializing.

Like Sang's mother, Xueyan wanted to let everyone know that Daiyu had something to marry, and she didn't have nothing, so she said with a smile: "The old lady said, when the girl is old, she should learn some skills of housekeeping. The things left by the master are packed up and moved to the girl's room, and let the girl keep it by herself, so I have a plan in mind."

She really wanted to tell everyone that Daiyu's dowry was really quite a lot, not counting the ones she hid, besides things, there were seven or eighty thousand taels of silver and Zhuangzi's shop, which was definitely more decent than ordinary girls, but she was afraid that it would lead to death. Dangerous, he did not speak.

Seventy-eight thousand taels for a girl's dowry, if not, it must be the first class in the capital, and there are more than ten miles of red makeup. Many first- and second-rank families are reluctant to give so much dowry to their daughters, at most twenty-three thousand Two, but if they knew that Lin Ruhai had left behind millions of family property, and that after his daughter lived in Rongguo Mansion, there were only 8 to 3 taels left. But I couldn't eat and walked away.

Wanting to protect Daiyu's safe marriage, Xueyan must save her own life first, and will not talk without thinking.

After hearing this, Princess Yongchang smiled and said, "Your old lady loves your girl."

Xueyan nodded and said: "The old lady has always loved our girls very much, and you girls are also considerate of the old lady." Because of her understanding, Daiyu couldn't bear to blame the Rongguo Mansion for what they did.

The audience immediately understood, and said with emotion: "After all, they are the grandmother and granddaughter of the real relatives, there is nothing closer than this."

Princess Yongchang beckoned Xueyan to come to her, looked at her carefully, and became more and more confused about who this girl looked like, but she thought that there were many similar looks in the palace, so she was not satisfied, and said: "You are also a neat child, how are you girls?" , it’s also very good, it’s good to be so loyal and always maintain this heart.”

Xueyan lowered her eyebrows and said sympathetically: "Your master and the girl are very kind to each other, so you must consider the girl in everything. If there is something wrong, as long as you know it, you will definitely correct it."

Everyone was full of praise. As the mistress of the house, isn't the word loyalty the most important thing?

Princess Yongchang waved her hand and said, "Go and serve the girls."

Xue Yanfang resigned.

Out of the main hall, Xue Yan only felt that her back was sweating profusely. Although there were many ice basins in the hall, she was still covered in cold sweat.

She didn't look back, nor did she slow down to listen to what was said inside. She only knew that with what she said today, the Rongguo Mansion would not blame her for what she did last time. will be smoother.

The fate of this worldly girl's tragedy is completely beyond her imagination. If she doesn't earn for herself, she will get nothing.

Originally Xueyan was not worried about the next three years, thinking that Mother Jia would not want Daiyu to get married early, but when Princess Yongchang mentioned being a matchmaker, she knew that she had to make a plan for Daiyu. The two roads are still the same, one is dead, and the other is to marry far away. If you die, you will be settled. After you marry far away, you don't know the details of the Lin family's property.

I hope that Princess Yongchang can carefully choose a good home for Daiyu, even if she orders it earlier like Xiangyun, she can rest assured.

Daiyu was having fun guessing riddles with the daughters of various families. Seeing the snow geese coming back, she asked, "What are you calling?"

With a smile on her face, Xueyan said: "What did He Zeng do? Just ask a few words, and I have already told the truth, girl, don't worry."

Daiyu spat: "What are you worried about? You're being sentimental!"

As he said that, he turned his head and went to discuss poetry with Mo Xin.

Mo Xin sat on the side, and after hearing this, he smiled and said: "Sister Lin loves duplicity the most. Ever since she went out with Xueyan, she has been restless and has no interest in poetry. It is better than before. When Xueyan came back, she said no." worry about her."

All the daughters looked at Daiyu and smiled, and she was so ashamed that Daiyu rushed over and said, "Fuck you talkative!"

Mo Xin was suddenly thrown down by her, pressed down on the couch, and begged for forgiveness.

There is peace here, and so is the main hall.

Princess Yongchang said to Sang's mother: "It's all right now, Miss Lin's dowry is nothing to worry about."

Everyone laughed, and said: "That's natural. Although Lin Da has gone, the family business has been left to Miss Lin, even if it's only [-] to [-]%, even Mrs. Lin's dowry back then is enough, ten miles of red makeup to go out of the city."

Sang's mother smiled faintly, and said, "I just hope that Miss Lin has nothing."

Everyone said: "How can we, let's all listen and watch!"

After the banquet, everyone went home.

Daiyu was the last one to leave. Sang's mother asked Daiyu to wash up to get rid of the smell of alcohol before going back. She only asked Xueyan to stay and asked, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't be too busy. It's entrusted by your master, it's not good to ask in front of outsiders at noon, now tell me in detail, how much did your girl get?"

Xueyan's eyes turned red, and she narrated the things that were moved into the room yesterday, and finally said: "In addition to these things, there are seven or eighty thousand taels of silver, 8 taels are the rest, and 6 taels are for the old lady. Filled in privately."

Mother Sang frowned and asked, "Is that right?"

Xueyan said: "How can I make a mistake? I only put it away after counting everything clearly."

Last night, she looked at the account book and calculated carefully. The things moved to Daiyu's room were not as much as [-]% as she said before, but at most [-]%. For the last few, the precious ones are long gone.

And she also knew that the number of millions that Lin Ruhai said was actually only a lot more than the number of millions.

Sang's mother was speechless for a while, and said for a long time: "My good boy, you already know, don't tell anyone else."

Xueyan hurriedly nodded and said: "I understand, I didn't say anything during the day, I just said that the mansion returned the property to the girl. Now Mrs. Biao is not a foreigner, so I only said it, just to let the wife have a solid foundation in her heart."

Sang's mother let their master and servant go back.

Daiyu was in the car, her heart was ups and downs, she didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

Xueyan told her all about Princess Yongchang's questioning in the hall, but did not tell her about Sang's mother's last questioning.

After being silent for a while, Daiyu stroked her temples and said, "When grandma asks, just tell the truth." The words spoken in Xueyan Hall are beneficial and harmless to Rongguo Mansion, and Mother Jia would like to hear them.

Thinking of this, Daiyu let out a long sigh, her eyebrows furrowed in deep worry.

Back at Rongguo Mansion, when Mother Jia heard that Daiyu had come back, she hurriedly called over to ask what was the story at the banquet.

Xueyan heard the words, and said: "There are many things, but you girls don't dare to say."

Mother Jia was taken aback when she heard this, and looked at Daiyu. Daiyu was also surprised by what she had told her earlier, why didn't she say it this time?But for a moment, she remembered what Princess Yongchang said as a matchmaker for her. It turned out that Xueyan was talking about this, so she couldn't help but blushed, and spat at Xueyan: "It's not Parrot, who is you talking?"

Xueyan smiled and said: "But I didn't say anything, the girl is strange, it turned out to be true."

Daiyu said: "Go back to the room."

Saying goodbye to Jia Mu, he walked away, ignoring Xueyan.

Jia Mu leaned back on the cold pillow and said with a smile, "My girl is gone, tell me what's the matter and she won't listen."

Xueyan said the words of Princess Yongchang and the questions of the audience one by one. While speaking, she paid attention to Jiamu's expression. She saw that Jiamu frowned slightly, and then when she said how she answered the audience, her brows gradually faded. Zhan, with a smile on his face, praised: "Princess Yongchang said yes, it really looks good."

Xueyan thought it was of course, saying these words added some glory to the Rongguo Mansion who embezzled Daiyu's family property.

In any case, Rongguo Mansion returned the property to Daiyu, everyone tacitly agreed, no matter how much they returned, this was done very decently, and it saved some face of Rongguo Mansion.

Jiamu was delighted, so she took off the agate bracelet on her wrist and asked Yuanyang to give it to her, her expression was softer than when she was admiring the two bracelets.

Xueyan didn't refuse, she collected her things and went back to her room to accompany Daiyu.

Mother Jia thought about Princess Yongchang's intention of revealing this, and how to deal with it when she found out.No matter what, she is still willing to have two darlings together, she will be able to rest assured after a hundred years, she only hates that the husband does not like Daiyu, she is afraid that this mother-in-law will treat Daiyu poorly in the future, so she cannot force Baoyu and Daiyu to be engaged , I hope that Baochai can get married earlier, so that Shuangyu can be a matter of course.

Jia's mother refused to give up Shuangyu's marriage, but the matter about the Lin family's property has come to an end.

It's just that I didn't expect the aftermath to be unsettled, but it came from Princess Yongchang.

Princess Yongchang went to the palace to congratulate her at the Dragon Boat Festival, and went again the next day. She took her daughter for a stroll in the imperial garden. The garden was full of flowers, and the mother and daughter were talking about Daiyu. Go up and say hello.

Emperor Changgan asked them what they were talking about, and Yan Ran said quickly, "Tell me something interesting about the Sang family yesterday."

Emperor Changqian looked at Princess Yongchang, and Princess Yongchang hurriedly said: "Marshal Sang's husband has returned to Beijing. I saw him yesterday morning when he came to pay homage. He held a banquet for lunch that day, and went to join in the fun."

Emperor Changqian went to the gazebo and sat down, waved his hand to give him a seat, and said, "Which houses did you attend the banquet?"

Princess Yongchang was stunned, knowing that he asked this question because he wanted to know that he had a good relationship with the Sang family, so she sent Yanran to the Empress Dowager, and replied: "The left and right are just a few old friends, some have real power, and some are old friends. No real power." I described what I saw yesterday in detail, and didn't mention the women's relatives, just which ones.

Emperor Changqian was a little relieved when he heard that those families were still there, and asked again: "When did the Sang family have contacts with the Rongguo Mansion?"

Princess Yongchang smiled and said, "The person who came here is not from the Rongguo Mansion, but from Linda's daughter, so speaking of it, she is still a relative of the Sang family."

Emperor Changqian knew it was Daiyu as soon as he heard it. He mentioned it to Dai Quan last time, nodded and said: "I remember, Lin Hai didn't leave a daughter to live in Rongguo Mansion. Why, aunt saw it?"

Princess Yongchang secretly wondered, he had never asked about these matters about the female relatives in the past, so she covered her surprise and said: "I saw it, and said that I would be a matchmaker for her. Afterwards, I talked about the dowry. Don't worry about her having nothing. Now look at it." There is still some leeway for the Rongguo Mansion to act, and Qianer returned the property left by Lin Da to her."

Hearing this, Emperor Changqian hurriedly inquired in detail, but after asking, he said: "Don't worry about it, Auntie, I already have an idea."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Yongchang was surprised and said: "Could it be that you want to give her a marriage? Although Lin Da has made great contributions to the country in the past, only the royal clan has always given marriages. How can there be such a blessing?"

Emperor Changqian smiled faintly, and said: "When Lin Hai dies and takes office, I can't let the heroes feel cold."

Princess Yongchang knew that the reason was definitely not the case. Lin Ruhai was the emperor's confidant, but she couldn't ask if she had something to say, so she could only say: "Since the saint is the master, I don't bother to find a home for her. In two days, I will reveal it to the Rongguo Mansion. Let them know that Miss Lin's marriage is beyond their control, so don't be blindsided and make it up."

Emperor Changqian nodded slightly, and said: "That's fine, after all, Miss Lin is Lin Da's orphan, I can't treat the hero poorly, let the Rongguo Mansion dismiss him casually."

Princess Yongchang heard his dissatisfaction with the Rongguo Mansion in his words, although she had expected it, she was still a little dazed.

Emperor Changqian waved his hand and said no more, he was exhausted.

Princess Yongchang hurriedly got up to leave, secretly thinking about when to say this.

As soon as she left, Emperor Changqian immediately said to Dai Quan: "The Rongguo Mansion really returned the property left by Lin Ruhai to his daughter? I don't believe it at all. They can return what they spent? Go and find out. , How much did the Rongguo Mansion pay back?"

When I met Yu Liansheng that time, Emperor Changqian thought of the Lin family, and asked Dai Quan to inquire about the news, and soon there was a result. He probably knew about it. If Dai Quan wanted to inquire about something, he would not hide it beat him.

Although we don't know how much property the Rongguo Mansion got from the Lin family, but the national treasury didn't make any money, the Lin family clan only got a large number of sacrificial fields left by Lin Ruhai.The Lin family has far-sightedness, and they buy sacrifice fields every year. After more than 100 years, the number of sacrifice fields is very considerable. No matter how greedy Jia Lian is, he can't sell the family sacrifice fields. He didn't get anything, so it can be seen that all the property has been in the Rongguo Mansion's pocket.

Now from the amount returned, it can be inferred how much the Rongguo Mansion embezzled. After that, Emperor Changqian will still be useful.

No matter what, they never expected that there was a girl beside Daiyu, who also had treasures such as mustard seeds on her body, and Lin Ruhai allowed her to keep and hide half of the belongings.

Daiyu was born in a noble family, the daughter of a second-rank official, and being a concubine is a must, but her parents are both dead, and she has no powerful close relatives, so she has little interest in marriage, even the daughter of a third-rank and fourth-rank official.But for Emperor Changqian, it was actually the best choice for marrying courtiers with real power, so as to prevent those powerful ministers from marrying noble relatives, powerful alliances, and intertwined relationships in the court for mutual benefit.

Although the Lin family has some old friends, they are not close relatives after all, so how can they really work together.

If it was a girl from another family, or Emperor Changgan didn't know these things about the Lin family, maybe Emperor Changgan would not care about the future of a deceased minister's orphan at all.But because of Yu Liansheng, he knew about it. He thought of many unsatisfactory things in the court, and today he was angry in the Yang Palace, so after hearing what Princess Yongchang said, he suddenly had this thought.

Lin Ruhai has worked hard for many years in the seat of the imperial censor, and I don’t know how many open and dark arrows he has dodged. It can be said that he has made great achievements. , Is it lamenting the emperor's indifference, or grateful for his kindness?

No need to think deeply, it is simply conceivable.

Emperor Changqian wanted to keep Daiyu for future use, and wanted to win a good name, so he ordered Princess Yongchang to do so.

Dai Quan knew what he meant, he was busy with the Dragon Boat Festival these days, he never went out of the palace, and he didn't get any news about the return of property from Jia's family, besides, he only returned it for two days, so he hurriedly said: "Little one, let's go for a walk." .”

Emperor Changgan shook his head, and said: "You can't use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. It's not good to go there. The commotion is a little louder. Tell that Yu Liansheng to go. Isn't the sister he recognizes as a girl from the Rongguo Mansion and Miss Lin's family? It must be The information he got is more accurate, let him tell that girl, just say that I asked, and that girl must not dare to hide anything."

Hearing Princess Yongchang talk about the events at that time, Emperor Changgan knew that Xueyan still had something to say.

Dai Quan agreed, and said: "Suwen, that girl is very shrewd. If you ask why the master wants to know this, how can I ask Yu Liansheng to answer? You should give me a title."

Emperor Changqian stood up and said, "Let's just say that I am in charge of their girls' marriage. You need to know the size of the dowry so that you can find a matching family. You don't need them to spend so much effort."

Emperor Changqian is so shrewd, since he knew the news about Lin Daiyu, when Dai Quan inquired, he knew that this girl Xueyan was jumping up and down, only busy with one thing, and that was Daiyu's marriage.Before Lin Ruhai died, several letters were sent to Zhang Jiasang's family and several other families, also for her daughter's lifelong plan.

When the chief attendant, Emperor Qian, returned to Daming Palace, Dai Quan immediately called Yu Liansheng over and gave him such instructions.

Julien was given this important task, knowing that he was already famous in front of him, and his future was not bad, so he couldn't help being surprised and happy, and hurriedly took Dai Quan's words to heart before leaving the palace for Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia and Sister Feng are busy ordering Xueyan to entertain them.

Xueyan led Yu Liansheng to her room, and when she heard Yu Liansheng say the holy will of Emperor Changgan, she was stunned.

How did the girls in their family attract the attention of today?When Lin Ruhai died, he didn't get any extra grace. What's more, when Lin Ruhai was dying, he still had a little resentment towards the present, and maybe a little bit of resentment towards the emperor. Xia Daiyu's future is really unpredictable.

Snow Goose wanted to cry but had no tears.

Yu Liansheng said: "Sister, what are you worried about? The saint is in charge. This is a dignity that no one can ask for."

Of course she knows that it is very decent for the world, but she doesn't ask how decent Daiyu's marriage is, she just wants Daiyu to marry a good family and live a peaceful life, who knows what to choose for Daiyu today s home?Will there be a sudden order for Daiyu to get married or marry far away?Isn't that the ending of Tanchun in the original book?

The more Xueyan thought about it, the more worried she became, so she said indiscriminately: "Yes, there is a sage in charge, so don't worry about not getting in the way."

Yu Liansheng had been in the palace for a long time, and he was very good at observing her words and expressions. He could guess two or three points by looking at her expression, and said with a smile: "My younger sister is concerned about it, and there is chaos. There are dilemmas in the world, and nothing is perfect."

Xueyan sighed: "Brother is right."

Earlier she was worried that the Rongguo Mansion would not know how to arrange for Daiyu's life, and later she was worried that Princess Yongchang's choice of home for Daiyu would not be good or bad.

Yu Liansheng said: "Master Sheng won't chill the heroes."

Xueyan's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, and the jade bracelet on her wrist jingled.That's right, this kind of face-saving and love-sage will definitely do it. For the sake of this face, Daiyu probably avoided the two possibilities of marriage with relatives and distant marriages. After all, Daiyu is Lin Ruhai's only daughter. It is unlikely to be married and married far away, and it is always necessary to leave a little flesh and blood for the heroes.

Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and then asked, "Could it be that big brother just wanted to tell this news?"

Yu Liansheng shook his head and explained his intentions.

Xueyan was startled, she didn't expect Emperor Changgan to have the mind to inquire about these things, it must not be what he said he knew about Daiyu's dowry, she stood up and said: "I can't decide this matter, I have to ask my girls."

Yu Liansheng nodded and said, "It should be."

Xueyan frowned deeply, and said: "Brother, sit down a bit, and go ask the girl for instructions."

Rushing to Daiyu's room in a hurry, Zijuan and others were doing needlework around Daiyu. Because August is Jiamu's birthday, Daiyu planned to make a forehead wipe to honor her hometown. Now that I can get the needle, I was talking about the color matching pattern, when I saw the snow geese coming in, the expression was not as good as before, so I laughed and said: "Why don't you stay with Eunuch Yu in the room?"

Xueyan said: "Sister Zijuan and all the sisters go out, and tell the girl something important."

Without saying a word, Zicuckoo hurriedly led the crowd down, ordered the doors and windows to be closed, and sat on the threshold to watch by herself.

Daiyu put down the sewing pattern in her hand, picked up a fan beside her to fan the wind, and said with a smile, "This little hoof is flustered, what's the matter? Even if something big happened, I haven't seen her face change."

Xueyan came up to her and explained Juliensheng's reason for coming in a low voice.

Before she could finish listening, Daiyu's face changed color.

Daiyu was raised by Lin Ruhai as a boy since she was a child, and she thought more than Xueyan. A trace of panic flashed across her face, and she said, "Why did Shuosheng suddenly think of it? A girl's family, no one to rely on, except There is nothing left of the shadow of my father."

Xueyan said: "I think it's because of the master, the girl Fang Sheng has a name in front of me."

Daiyu closed her eyes, concealed the tears in her eyes, and said softly, "Isn't it a blessing for the saint to be the master? Now you don't have to worry about dismissing the mansion. Since the saint is inquiring, tell the truth. It's just that grandma is not easy after all. , I understand some things in my heart, so I want to say it for the better, we can't add trouble to grandma's house."

360 days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost and the sword are pressing against each other.

Originally, being in the Taoist mansion was enough to make him difficult, but he never thought that things outside would be even more difficult to figure out.

Daiyu expected the benefits that this incident would bring to the present, otherwise, why should she be remembered by the present as an orphan?

Xueyan sighed, put her arms around Daiyu's shoulders and said: "Miss, don't worry too much, the Holy Spirit is in charge, it's better than the mansion randomly letting the girl decide in the future. You know what to say and what not to say, don't worry, girl." stop."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Go quickly, don't make Eunuch Yu wait for a long time."

Xueyan comforted her for a while, then went to Yu Liansheng and told her about Daiyu's belongings one by one, not in detail, but only an approximate amount, saying: "Because the master's account books were not allowed by the public at the beginning. Be careful to burn a part of it, so I don't know how many things there are. Although the mansion has spent and embezzled some, there is only so much left. Things, the Rongguo Mansion doesn't know about it."

She spoke very vaguely, and she was talking about the jewelry, calligraphy, painting and antiques that Lin Ruhai gave to Daiyu before she died. After all, when Daiyu came back, she had a lot more luggage, and it was obvious that there were things left by Lin Ruhai. .

Yu Liansheng wrote it down carefully, and asked many more questions until Xueyan's mouth was dry.

In the end, Xueyan did not give the Rongguo Mansion any more notoriety.

Xueyan didn't know how Yu Liansheng replied after returning to the palace. She was telling Daiyu what she had said to Yu Liansheng. In the middle of the conversation, she suddenly heard the announcement: "Ms. Shi is here. The old lady is in the old lady's room. Tell Miss Lin to go!"

The master and the servant had to hide their worries and go to Jia Mu's room first.

The second went late, one step later than Baoyu. I don't know what the first people said about Shi Xiangyun. I saw her talking and laughing with Baoyu. She was dressed in red, but her face was brighter than the red dress. Daiyu didn't want to talk to her. Sitting next to Jiamu, Xiangyun held a handkerchief and a lump on his arm, and said, "Brought something good for sister Xi."

Baoyu mentioned the ring of crimson stone last time. Xiangyun opened the handkerchief and saw that there were four rings.

Seeing this scene, Xue Yan was amused in her heart, but she suppressed it.

She has been waiting for this scene a few years ago. Who told her to complain about Daiyu behind her back? Could it be that Daiyu should give her a ring? .

Sure enough, I heard Xiangyun say: "One for sister Xi, one for sister Yuanyang, one for sister Jin Chuan'er, and one for sister Ping'er."

Don't be fooled, only Hu Po stood in front of Jia's mother, and her face was very unhappy when she heard that.

Hupo Jiamu is second only to mandarin ducks, and she speaks unscrupulously. Last time Xueyan sent fans, all eight of their big maids got it, and the mandarin duck's fan pendant was a little better, which is as it should be. The first maids everywhere got it, too. The truth is, after all, one fell. I don't want Shi Xiangyun to come back, but only give it to those four.

When Shi Xiangyun went to see Sister Feng and Li Wan and went to the garden, Amber immediately held Xueyan down on the porch to complain.

Xueyan didn't like Hupo very much either. She remembered that Hupo told Shi Xiangyun and Daiyu later that Daiyu was jealous of Baoqin, and she was anxious to accompany Daiyu, so she smiled and said, "Sister, is there anything good? Is that what you want?" A ring. If my sister likes it, there is one given by the girl last year, and I will give it to my sister to wear."

Hu Po has the temperament of a servant girl in the Rongguo Mansion, she dares to criticize and satirize the young master, and said: "Why did you say it was a ring? Sister Yuanyang is incomparable, so why not? I used to look at Miss Shi, but now I do things There is also a raised eyebrow, but don't you think that they all serve the most honorable master and give them things so that they can speak well for her?"

Amber has followed Jiamu for a long time, and knows that since Baochai's birthday, Jiamu has treated Shi Xiangyun worse than before.

Not only was she annoyed, but the big girls elsewhere were also annoyed, but they couldn't compare to these four, and couldn't complain like Hu Po, so they had to give up.Only after Jin Bao knew the news, she ruthlessly sued Mrs. Xing, so she couldn't be compared. As Mrs. Xing's number one maid, could she not be as good as Jin Chuan'er who was kicked out of Mrs. Wang's room?

Husband Xing hates not to underestimate him, and he also feels displeased after hearing Jin Bao's words.

But Xiangyun met Sister Feng, talked and laughed, and then went to Li Wan's place. Li Wan's expression was indifferent and not very warm.

Daiyu was writing poems under the window, when she saw Li Wan coming, she hurriedly got up and gave up her seat to pour tea, Li Wan didn't say anything, just chatted and laughed with her. Mrs. Xing sent Jinbao to bring the fruit, and the room was very lively. Daiyu was both happy and puzzled.

Xueyan understood at a glance, and told Daiyu after we were gone.

Daiyu poked her forehead with her hand, and said: "Well, it turned out to be the fault of this little hoof. Why bother? Sister Yun is not easy. Ever since she went back in the first lunar month, her grandmother never mentioned her again, and then it was decided again. Dear, I heard that Riri's family embroidered dowry, she finally came here, she knew some things about the world, but because of the things ahead, don't be dissatisfied with her."

Of course Xueyan had intentions, but she couldn't let Daiyu know about it, and said, "not to mention that I gave it once a few years ago, but in the past few years, how have we ever favored one gift than another? Come on."

Before he could say a word, he suddenly saw the woman outside rushing over in a panic and said, "Jin Chuan'er is gone!"

For a moment, the whole room was shocked.

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Which Jin Chuaner?"

The mother-in-law said: "Which other Jin Chuan'er is there? It's the Jin Chuan'er in the wife's room. She was kicked out by the wife before, and she cried at home every day. I didn't see her early this morning. Who wants to fish out her when digging a well?" Her body is here, and the whole family is being rescued, but they are already dead, how can they be saved?"

Both Daiyu and Xueyan couldn't help shedding tears, Zijuan also came from that room, and said with tears, "Why is Jin Chuan'er so confused? The former son comforted her a lot and told her to care about my mother, but she still Tossed into a well and died."

Daiyu asked: "What's going on? Even if you are kicked out, you won't be looking for death!"

Zijuan said: "What's the matter, the girl is too worried."

During the evening break, when there was no one in the room, Fang Zijuan quietly told Daiyu and Xueyan about the ins and outs of Jin Chuaner's expulsion.
