The maid of the red house

Dading is accepting levy, which means to make an appointment. The man asks a matchmaker and Quanfu people to give the dowry gift and dowry money one month before the big wedding. Because Daiyu is young at this time and is far away from the big wedding, so for now Don't let go, wait until the year of Ji to marry under the engagement period.

And because today is Daiyu's birthday, after the engagement, Mrs. Zhou ordered a set of clothes, a pair of shoes and socks, a hundred longevity peaches and a hundred bundles of fine silver noodles. "What a coincidence, it's both a good day and a birthday, so it can be regarded as double happiness." He hurriedly ordered his attendants to pick out a birthday gift from the spare gifts.

Daiyu thanked them one by one shyly and timidly, and asked Xueyan to accept them.

Princess Yongchang ordered someone to take two purses, each containing a small jade article, as a gift to Daiyu, because she smiled to Jiamu: "Today is the Flower Festival, Baihua's birthday, it is really a good day, so You are a clever man, could it be that the Flower Goddess from the sky came down to earth?"

Mother Jia was very humble when she heard this, and said: "The princess is too famous, she is not the only one born on February [-]th."

Princess Yongchang smiled and said: "Although there are many people born on this day, there are very few who are as good as Ling's granddaughter. I often hear people say that the garden in your house is very exquisite. Why don't you take this opportunity to visit?"

Jia Mu hurriedly stood up and said, "It's an honor."

Fu ordered Mrs. Xing Wang to lead the way, and after everyone went to the retreat to change their clothes, they went to the Grand View Garden to accompany them to play. All the female relatives and so on.

Because today is Daiyu Xiaoding, Baoyu is very bored. She was dragged away by Jia Zhen and others to have a drink and a theater, but she is not there.

The crowd, headed by Princess Yongchang, entered from the garden gate in a small sedan chair. The southeast corner on the right was Yihong Courtyard, and the first place on the left was the ** Hall. They passed Qinfang Pavilion, crossed Cuiyan Bridge, and got off first The sedan chair went to the hotel, and walked through the narrow path full of stones. The pear blossoms are like snow, the plantains are like wax, there are clear springs, and the bamboo pavilions are built.

After entering the hotel, there were many people and the room was small, and they were all enjoying themselves in the courtyard for a while. Princess Du Yongchang, Sang Mu, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhou, Jia Mu and other elderly venerables went in and sat down for a while, but they saw Sissy under the screen window, The fragrance of ink filled the house, and Princess Yongchang couldn't help asking who lived there.

Jia Mu replied: "Because the mother ordered the sisters to live in the garden, Yu'er felt sorry for me and stayed with me, so I made a study with her here, and occasionally came to play for a while when I was free. Don't live here."

At that time, Xueyan, Ting Lan and others brought tea, and Daiyu presented it to everyone. Mrs. Zhou knew that not only the girls from the Rongguo Mansion lived in the Grand View Garden, but also the brothers of Concubine Xiande were here. Yu only made a study instead of a bedroom. He did not disobey the order, but also acted cautiously. He was very satisfied, took the tea, and said with a smile: "It would be very good to be a study."

Princess Yongchang pointed at her and said with a smile: "You have eaten your daughter-in-law's tea, can you say that your daughter-in-law's study is not good?"

Everyone remembered that it was Daiyu who served the tea with her own hands, and laughed for a moment.

After hearing this, Xueyan was filled with emotion.

Out of the palace, swim past the Zhujin Building in Zilingzhou, come out and pass the Fengyao Bridge, take the trend to the north, go around for a while, and everyone goes to enjoy it once, until they reach the east of Changcui nunnery, avoiding Baoyu's residence alone Zhiyihongyuan, when they left the garden, they were all amazed, and said to Jia Mu, "it's really the best search for gods and wonders."

When everyone in Rongguo Mansion heard this, they felt that their faces were very radiant.

Xueyan sighed inwardly, how could it not be a paradise for girls who spent millions of dollars to build this garden?

Mrs. Zhou came back from the Rongguo Mansion, and waited until Master Zhou left the court to tell him about the day's affairs, and finally said: "I'm afraid there are more books in our daughter-in-law's study than ours. Could it be that Master Lin only Did you leave the book to her? No wonder you are so smart, you can guess the court's movements from a little movement."

Madam Zhou did not dislike Daiyu's private discussion of government affairs, and reminded her. On the contrary, she was both happy and sighed, because their family has their own rules. All housewives must be well-educated and know the direction of the outside world, not just the housekeeper. Human relations, because only in this way can one know who to get close to and who to stay away from when socializing outside, or find out some clues from it, and then tell the husband to be careful in the court, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body.

Master Zhou rubbed his brows wearily, and said: "It is said that Mr. Lin had no children back then, and he was raised and raised as a son. He is different from ordinary women. I have been paying attention to it over the past few days. Today's people are competing."

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly asked, "Has the master ever been involved?"

Master Zhou said indifferently: "I'm afraid that Hong'er and I have already been involved."

Mrs. Zhou was so anxious that her eyes were almost red, and said: "What should I do? Immortals fight, ordinary people suffer, the emperor and the current power are equally divided, and it is difficult to distinguish who is superior. The master is caught in the middle. If the official is inferior, it is fine. Dodge, Master Pian is one of the few first-rank officials, right in front of you, how can you not use Master as a raft?"

Master Zhou said with a wry smile: "For today's plan, we must secretly lean towards the present, so as to have a way out."

After all, the emperor is old, and he can't let go of his power. However, the emperor and his courtiers are only in their twenties today. I believe that many people with clear eyes and hearts should know how to choose. But as long as one life is saved, there will always be a time for recovery.He, Zhou Yuan, is only in his forties this year. He is the head of the Zhou family and the support of his wife and children. He doesn't want to fall just like that. Even if he falls, I believe that when he is in power in the future, he will definitely treat his descendants well.

After Zhou Yuan figured it out, he was not as sad as before.

After hearing what he meant, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help her eyes filled with tears, and said with a sob: "This is the master's worst plan, but we can't just sit and wait for death. If we take precautions early, there may be room for change."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "The dispute between the sons of heaven will only become more and more fierce, and will not stop." Emperor Changqian was eager to take power and call the shots. It will explode at an opportunity.

Mrs. Zhou's heart turned cold and she remained silent. It seemed that their family really couldn't escape this dispute. After a long time, she said softly: "Since the master has already said so, do you want to put Yan'er, Lian'er and Yan'er together?" The three brothers and sisters are sent away far away, and it is better for us to have no worries in the capital."

Zhou Yan, Zhou Lian, and Zhou Yan are the two sons and one daughter under Mrs. Zhou, and the youngest Zhou Yan is only seven years old this year.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "No need. If we are sent away far away, something happened to you and me in the capital, and some bad news was heard over there, how can we treat the three of them kindly? It's better to put it in the present, even if it is you and me If something happens, they will suffer a lot, but with you and me protecting them, and watching them now, it is better than being in other places where no one is making decisions and panicking, and it can be regarded as sharing weal and woe."

Since he was secretly leaning toward Emperor Changgan, Emperor Changgan felt that since he wanted to treat the veterans kindly, he would not sit idly by and ignore his family. At most, when the emperor did something, he would be the only one to be convicted.Of course, if the whole family really fell, and the whole family blamed him, there was nothing he could do.Thousands of miles away, he couldn't hide in the end, and he had to suffer for nothing and be escorted to Beijing.

After hearing this, Madam Zhou couldn't help but shed tears and said, "I hope it's you and I who think too much."

Zhou Yuan sighed: "The mountain rain is about to come and the wind will fill the building, I hope it will."

After finishing speaking, he reminded his wife: "By the way, you have let go of the marriage between Hong'er and Miss Lin earlier, so add more dowry."

Mrs. Zhou was startled, then she nodded and said: "In two days, I will personally go to Rongguo Mansion to discuss with the old lady, and choose a good day to ask the official and Quanfu people to deliver the things there."

Zhou Yuan said: "The sooner the better."

Outsiders don't know a word of Zhou Yuan and his wife's words, only Zhou Hong knows a thing or two in the letters sent to Zhou Hong by the two of them.

The Zhou family took precautions before they happened, and the Rongguo Mansion was still ecstatic.

After the day was over, Mother Jia held a banquet in the upper room at night for Daiyu's birthday. Mrs. Xing Wang, Aunt Xue, Li Wan and others all gave gifts, such as a set of clothes, or birthday peach noodles, or They are all kinds of playthings, different for each person. The sisters may have a piece of silk, a handkerchief, a poem and a painting, and Sister Feng is unable to get up during confinement, so she ordered Pinger to send two small Persian playthings. Everyone, Lin Zhixiao's family, Wu Xindeng's family, etc. all have birthday presents.

Daiyu changed into a fresh dress again, dressed up like Chang'e fairy descending to the mortal world, with a charming demeanor, and thanked everyone.

Jia's mother watched from above, and then looked at Baoyu's dying expression, and felt a pain in her heart.

She has always loved the two jade children the most, and she is full of hope that they can become a couple. Who would have thought that something would happen. Now that the saint has given her a marriage, she has to wrong her precious jade. In any case, she does not allow such things as disobedience and disrespect. , nor can the two Yu'er's reputation be ruined for the slightest bit. At this time, she secretly rejoiced that Daiyu didn't live in the hotel.

After the evening banquet, Mother Jia pondered for a long time, and ordered Yuanyang to find out the letter with Lin Ruhai that day and quietly burn it, leaving no trace of the marriage between the two jade children in the letter.

But she said that Daiyu was tired after a busy day, and when she returned to the house, she lay on the bed and said, "Xueyan, put away the things and remember it. Tomorrow, don't forget to remind me to thank Lian's second sister-in-law. Although she didn't come out today, Anyway, she took care of all the big things a few years ago."

When mentioning Sister Feng, Daiyu couldn't help but sighed, feeling pity for her illness and anger at her actions.

It turns out that the matter of Daiyu's engagement was handled by Sister Feng before the Chinese New Year, and she was instructed by Jia Mu. I don't want her to be busy at the end of the year, which is the beginning of February. Mrs. Wang doesn't have much energy. Give Li Wan an assistant, and order Tanchun to adjudicate with her. Li Wan is a widow, and Daiyu's happy life is not entrusted to her by Jiamu. The following cooking, although Sister Feng was ill, she sent Ping'er to see from time to time, and she was not in a hurry.

Xueyan was assigning people to register and make books to put things in, and she agreed casually, sighing to herself that it was so easy for Sister Feng to raise a brother and lose it. If she was at home, maybe Daiyu could persuade them, but they went to Shanhaiguan. It's beyond the reach of the whip, although I feel sad in my heart, but I also know that it is her own fault, and now she is confinement, and she still refuses to let go.

No wonder Jia Lian and Sister Feng are becoming more and more divorced. Considering their age, Jia Lian is almost thirty this year?Others at this age can almost drink daughter-in-law tea, but he only has one daughter, and Sister Feng has developed a redness syndrome, and her eyes are on the brink of death, so why not worry?

Sister Feng is really only shrewd in small things, but not in big things.

Zijuan came up to rub Daiyu's shoulders and legs, so that she would not be sore when she fell asleep at night, and said: "Miss has not been here for the past six months. A lot of things have happened in the mansion. I was busy with the girl's wedding, so I didn't feel embarrassed to say it. Tomorrow is free, so let me tell the girl, although I have never experienced it, it is good to have something in mind.”

Daiyu nodded, noncommittal.

Suddenly someone reported that Miaoyu had sent a little girl to deliver something. Daiyu sat up hurriedly and ordered someone to please.

Miaoyu is very noble, and even has a kind of solitary self-admiration that is similar to the clean world. Everyone thinks she is weird, except for Baoyu, only Daiyu is good to her. Yu knew better than Baoyu her temper as a person in Buddhism and her heart was in the world of mortals, so she often sent someone to send a book or poem, or invited Daiyu to drink tea and enjoy the flowers when she was free.

Xueyan has always been in favor of Daiyu's relationship with her. Although the three spring chaiyun are all sisters, there is only one Miaoyu who is like a monk and not a monk, who is like a vulgar and not vulgar, even if this Miaoyu is the same as everyone in the world. hate.

The little girl held a brocade box of cloisonné enamel, and said with a smile: "Our girl said, today is the girl's great joy, and it's the girl's Fangchen, but she has seen many guests today, and she is tired, so she won't come over in person to help her." The girl celebrated her birthday, and sent me to bring the things, saying that we girls don’t know how long we will stay, and it’s better to give the things to the girl one day earlier than other things.”

Daiyu bowed her body to thank you, and said: "Go back and thank you girls for me. I'm free tomorrow, so I'll go to her and thank you in person."

Knowing Miaoyu's temperament, she didn't refuse, but ordered Xueyan to accept it.

Seeing this, the little girl took her leave and went back without staying for tea.

Zijuan wondered: "I really don't know what to say about Master Miaoyu. She is obviously a monk, but the old mother and the little girl around her still call her a girl. The household decorations should be rare. She also remembers the good days in the world. I don't know how to send her away." Something for the girl."

Daiyu said: "She never regarded herself as a monk, so why force her to abide by the pure rules of Buddhism?"

As he said that, he also became curious and asked Xueyan to open it to have a look.

Xueyan smiled when she heard the words, and opened the brocade box, but there were two small brocade boxes the size of palms inside. There was a post on it, which was the congratulations of Daiyu's engagement and happiness, and hurriedly handed it to Daiyu. When Daiyu opened the small brocade box when she read the post, she couldn't help being surprised.

I saw a pair of suet white jade dragon and phoenix bis tied with red silk ribbons in a small brocade box. They were as moist as fat, transparent and flawless, and exquisitely carved. For a long time, I have seen a lot of mutton fat white jade and snow geese, but this pair of dragon and phoenix jade is definitely the best in mutton fat white jade, and there are not many pieces in the Lin family's possessions.

After Xueyan finished looking at it, she hurriedly opened another brocade box, but inside it contained four pearls the size of longan, bright and clean, very rare.

Zijuan was surprised and said: "I can't find a few pearls like this in the house. I have only seen this kind of jade around the old lady. Where did Master Miaoyu get it? Jade is nothing, although it is rare. You can get it too, but the rare thing is that this pearl is the same size and round, and it looks like the same pearl at first glance."

Daiyu's expression was calm, she didn't care, and said: "She was originally a young lady of an official's family. Although she entered the Buddhist monastery, when her parents passed away, they left a lot of things for her. Last year we went to the garden with the old lady. Have you forgotten the scene of eating tea there? The old lady’s kiln multicolored small lid bell for tea is an antique. Others only know that there are not many pieces in the house, but they don’t know that she is just a tea drinker in her eyes. Utensils, I didn't take it to heart, she regarded it as a vulgar thing, why should I care too much?"

After finishing speaking, he only put the post under the record in a precious and important way, and planned to go over to thank him in person tomorrow.

Xueyan couldn't help laughing, indeed, in the eyes of others, she only saw the preciousness of pearls and jade, but she didn't know that in the eyes of these two people, they really regarded them as ordinary things, and they didn't linger in their hearts. With her, Daiyu is not afraid that she is showing off.

She looked at the pearls and jade in the box, suddenly smiled, and said: "Master Miaoyu is also interesting."

Daiyu glared at her and said angrily, "Stop talking too much!"

After finishing speaking, Fu lay back on the bed and let Xueyan tidy up.

Zijuan was confused when she heard it, and seeing that Daiyu didn't intend to say more, she couldn't help pulling Xueyan to ask: "Could it be that there is something else in it? Dear sister, tell me quickly."

Xueyan closed the brocade box and said with a light smile: "People often say that a perfect match is a perfect match. Now that there are beads and jade, it's just that they don't match. Whether or not you want to make a perfect match is up to the girl herself to say something about it in the future." .”

Zicuckoo listened, dumbfounded.

Xueyan was so busy that half a day was over when Daiyu had already washed and changed and gone to sleep.

She couldn't help but glanced at Zijuan, both of them smiled and went to wash up, although they were tired, they were both happy.

The next day, after saving Jiamu, Daiyu went to visit Sister Feng. It happened that Sister Feng ordered Ping'er to pass on her words to Li Wan and Tanchun. Then he lifted the curtain and went in, saying: "I said that you are good at raising talents, and the matter is handed over to the eldest sister-in-law and the third younger sister. Why do you bother to work hard and make yourself more and more haggard?"

Seeing Daiyu come in, Sister Feng hurriedly gave up her seat, asked Ping'er to pass on the message, and ordered Xiaohong to pour tea, and said, "I don't care who cares about these things at home? Why is my sister here in person? If you have anything to say, just send me a message." The girl is here."

Daiyu took a sip of tea, and said angrily, "Your words are unreasonable. If you send a girl here casually, who do you think I am?"

Sister Feng smiled when she heard the words, and she was very upset.

Daiyu saw that she was wrapped in the apricot red silk quilt, her complexion became more and more yellowish and bloodless, and her complexion was twelve points worse than when she was the most seriously ill before. Thinking of what she heard from Xueyan on weekdays, her heart There are so many flavors, I don't know where to start.

Sister Feng was secretly surprised, and said with a smile: "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Daiyu had endured it for a long time, pursed her lips, and said for a long time: "From now on, you must change everything!"

Sister Feng was startled, and asked in confusion, "What does my sister mean by this? I don't understand?"

Although Jia Lian and Sister Feng have been greedy for a lot of things in private, Daiyu has always been friendly with her. Especially after last year's birthday, Sister Feng almost followed Jia's mother's lead, so she said bluntly, "How can you not understand? Are you doing it?" People with big things are smart and powerful, and they dare to do anything, but I know it all, let alone others?"

Sister Feng's heart was shocked, and there was a hint of hesitation on her face, but she was used to domineering, and she was the least afraid of retribution from the underworld. Relying on the power of the Rongguo Mansion and the power of the Wang family, there was nothing she dared not do, so she didn't worry at all. What are the consequences of what you do.

Although Daiyu is not ashamed of Sister Feng's actions, she is just an outsider. Although she is close to Sister Feng, she can't blame her for anything, and she can't do anything. She just feels sorry for the person who died because of her taking advantage of the lawsuit and exploiting her. I should say more, it's just that those things are all crimes of beheading, so what benefits can you get by doing this for a few dollars?"

Sister Feng forced a smile and said, "I don't understand what my sister said more and more." She refused to admit what Su Ri had done.

Daiyu sighed softly in her heart, got up and said: "I have a good relationship with my sister-in-law, so I have these words. My sister-in-law thinks about it anyway. It's good if she thinks it's reasonable. If she thinks it's unreasonable, I can't do it. I have to go to Changcui Temple If you are looking for Miaoyu, you won't spend more time with your sister-in-law."

Xueyan was standing outside on the porch talking to Xiaohong, seeing Daiyu coming out, she hurriedly followed her.

After entering the garden and walking on the road, Daiyu sighed, "Sister Feng won't admit it, and probably won't give up."

Xueyan said: "Second Grandma Lian is so bold. She is used to doing these things. How can she give up when so much money is beckoning in front of her? If Second Grandma Lian read more books and knew more about the law, she would not As for that."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "That's not necessarily the case, those who dare to do these things are just driven by greed."

Xueyan agrees very much, nodded and said: "Young lady is right."

Daiyu was silent all the way. After walking for half a day, when she was about to reach Changcui nunnery, she suddenly stopped, looked at the running water in a daze, and said for a long time: "The second sister-in-law of Lian is a little month old, and she is really in distress. I can see it by looking at her face." Come out, I'm afraid I won't be able to in the future, I'm afraid the second elder brother Lian has something to come out."

Xueyan marveled at Daiyu's sensitivity to this matter, no, there will be the matter of Second Sister You in the future, although she married Second Sister You secretly because of her lust, and disregarded the laws of the country, but in Jia Lian's heart, it might not be for the sake of his heirs I hated Sister Feng secretly and Second Sister You hoped that Sister Feng would die early.If Jia Lian had no son, Jia Lian could not inherit Jia She's title. Even if he did, it would be cheaper for others if he had no son in the future. Although the Rongguo Mansion fell before he took over the title, they didn't know the final outcome of their family.

Xueyan dislikes Jia Lian and Second Sister You very much, especially Second Sister You. Although it is a good thing to reform, she just secretly married Jia Lian because she hoped that Sister Feng would die early so that she could come in and become the main wife. , but she couldn't beat Sister Feng's tragic death, there was nothing to be pitied about, as the main wife, to protect her own interests, Sister Feng's methods were not wrong.

Jia Lian secretly married for the sake of her beauty and children, and cursed Sister Feng regardless of his wife's righteousness. Second Sister You secretly married Sister Feng in order to reform herself and have a lifelong life. She also hoped that Sister Feng would die. None of them are innocent, but they are all utterly confused. They really complied with the saying that a poor person must have something to hate.

Xueyan replied softly to Daiyu, "At that time, I don't know what kind of wind and rain it will be."

Daiyu smiled wryly, and when she arrived at the gate of Changcui Temple, the depression in her heart dissipated slightly, and she saw Miaoyu coming out from the temple, her eyes were as clear as water, her brows were far away from the mountains, and she was wearing a paddy field Taoist robe flowing out of the dust, she was like a fairy The character in this book is really worthy of being a woman from the landscape of Gusu, who is born with an aura as blue as water.

Compared with Daiyu, Miaoyu looks better in Xueyan's heart, because Daiyu is only thirteen years old, while she is already twenty.

When she arrived at the nunnery, she saw that the flowers and trees were luxuriant and different from other places. Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "After all, the flowers and trees here are beautiful. Although the flowers and trees in the garden are good, they are pruned too often, and sisters and girls often pick flowers. Son, it's a pitiful defeat."

Miaoyu said with a smile, "It's not in vain for Huamu to come to this world if I can get your praise."

Then, he invited her to sit in the meditation room.

Sitting on the futon she used to meditate at home, Daiyu watched Miaoyu fan the stove and make tea herself, and said with a smile, "Last time I ate a cup of snow water at your place, you say I'm vulgar, what kind of water did you eat this time? According to me, it doesn’t matter what kind of water, as long as the tea produced by cooking is good, it is good water, but what about rainwater and snowwater, it is not as clean as mountain spring water.”

Miaoyu pursed her lips and smiled, "How long has it been, do you still remember?"

Daiyu took the tea she handed over, but it was an ordinary purple sand tea bowl, not the rare antiques from last time, so she nodded and smiled and said, "Our purple sand tea is better for tea. How can I forget? I'm so good with you At this time, I missed you a big layman."

Miaoyu smiled when she heard this, and handed another cup to Xueyan, who was immediately flattered.

Daiyu said from the side: "If she gives it to you, you can follow it. If you can catch her eye, you can't find five fingers in the whole house."

Xueyan accepted it with a smile, smelled the aroma first, took a sip, and savored it carefully, only felt that although the tea she usually drank was good, it was far inferior to the cup in front of her, strangely said that Miaoyu dared to be proud, she really cooked good tea.

Miaoyu sat opposite Daiyu, holding a tea bowl and said: "You are a very good girl, most of your good fortune comes from her."

Daiyu and Xueyan were startled when they heard this.

Half a day later, Dai Yufang smiled and said, "You are right. If she hadn't been with me, how would I be where I am today?"

Miaoyu said: "Your horoscope does not match your destiny, and there are traces on your face. I have deduced it for several years to get one or two, but I can't get the whole picture. If my master is still there, she will perform the congenital magic number skillfully. I can know, but it's a pity that I'm not good at learning, I only vaguely know that it's all because of you, a girl, that your fate has changed, and I'm afraid you can still be Mrs. Hou Ye!"

Daiyu chuckled and said, "You can calculate all these? If you really have this magical skill, you should be famous far and wide. Are you afraid that there will be no incense to enshrine you? You just hid here."

Miaoyu said: "I don't care about those incense sticks either. They only want to be rich, but they don't want to hear about disasters. They always want to rely on fortune-telling to judge their lives. They don't know that people are the lords of all things. They are born with spirituality. If you don't have the ability, even if you are born rich, you still can't control your own destiny."

Xue Yan kept nodding.

Indeed, destiny is in one's own hands, and it should be determined by people, not by people.

Daiyu's heart moved, and she suddenly felt enlightened. She had heard Xueyan mumbling before that all fate was in her own hands, relying on the sky, the earth, the people, the mountains, and the fate, it is better to earn it by herself, maybe there will be a turnaround Well, the two of them, master and servant, have indeed earned their present future out of despair.

Seeing Xueyan agreeing with Miaoyu's words, Daiyu suddenly smiled and asked Miaoyu: "Since you are good at reading faces, let's see how I, Xueyan, will do tomorrow?"

Miaoyu didn't continue to look at the snow geese, but said: "Mind nature affects the appearance, once the heart nature changes, the appearance changes accordingly, just like you, the same is true, I can't see anything, I only know that the snow geese have good fortune, As for the good fortune, I don't know. If there is a birthday horoscope, maybe I can calculate something."

After hearing this, Daiyu asked Xueyan to speak.

Xueyan reluctantly told her birthday.

After hearing this, Miaoyu frowned and said, "It's strange, this birth date doesn't match Xueyan."

Xueyan was startled suddenly, it seemed that Miaoyu really had some real skills, of course she couldn't get along, after all she only occupied Xueyan's body, but her soul came from another world.

Daiyu frowned and said, "Why can't you close?"

Miaoyu laughed and said: "I'm not good at this way after all. Although I can't get it right, my previous fate was not good. The fate of the lonely geese is not as good as it is now. It seems that her fate should be changed first, so your fate should also be changed." No matter what, it’s a good thing.” If it doesn’t match up, she doesn’t use this birthday horoscope to deduce Xueyan’s fate.

When Xueyan heard this, she really believed that Miaoyu's master was proficient in congenital algebra, and even what she told Miaoyu had a lot of meaning.

But why did she end up in such a tragic end?

Miaoyu didn't know Xueyan's thoughts at all, after finishing this matter, she chatted with Daiyu about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Comparable.

When it was time to leave, Miaoyu winked at the little girl, and the little girl held a jade plate full of jewels.

Daiyu asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Miaoyu pointed to Xueyan and said: "Everything in the world has a cause and an effect. I don't need these ordinary things. I use them where they should be used. Maybe I can accumulate some merit."

Xueyan also refused to accept it, she and Daiyu were considered to be of the same body, one was hurt and the other was prosperous, Daiyu would not be polite to give anything, but she and Miaoyu were neither related nor related, how could she accept such a large amount of property?Seeing that the jade plate is not small, there are about thirty or fifty pieces.

So Xueyan said: "Master invited me to have a cup of tea, it is already a great blessing for me, why give these vulgar things?"

Daiyu said from the side: "Exactly. If you really treat her well, I will bring her over next time. You can just give her a cup of tea."

Miaoyu thought for a while, then said with a smile, "I'm so vulgar, you're right."

Even so, he still picked out one piece from the jade plate and handed it to Xueyan, saying: "If you don't want to accept all of them, then just accept this one, at least I came here once, and keep it as a thought. "

Xueyan heard the words and saw it, so she had to accept it.

Miaoyu was very happy, and said: "You still have an old friend in your palace. If you can go, you will be very happy."

Daiyu and Xueyan were startled, and when they wanted to ask, Miaoyu had already turned around and closed the door.

Daiyu looked at Xueyan and asked: "How does she know that there is an old man in your palace? Could it be that you are talking about Eunuch Yu?"

Xueyan also thought that Miaoyu was talking about Yu Liansheng, so she helped Daiyu to walk down, and said as she walked, "What is the palace? How can a little girl like me get in? But Brother Yu is indeed The old man. I don’t know what kind of heart this Master Miaoyu has, but what he said makes sense, and I think these words are not aimless.”

Daiyu sighed: "She is a strange person. I have never seen anyone who is more knowledgeable than her, and Sister Bao is not as good. It's just that she never makes calculations for others. If I didn't come here today, I wouldn't know that she has such a skill." , since she is willing to tell you and me, she presumably believes us, so don’t tell others after we go back, lest they all come to disturb her.”

Xueyan nodded and said, "I understand."

If the people in the house know, how can they bear it?It is bound to come to disturb Miaoyu's calculation of fate.

Because Daiyu asked Miaoyu what she gave, Xueyan only knew it was a piece of jade pendant and didn't look at it carefully. At this time, after hearing Daiyu's question, she took it out of her purse. It is tied with a red string, about an inch in radius, and its texture is exactly the same as the dragon and phoenix jade she gave to Daiyu, presumably it was carved out of the same piece of jade.

Daiyu held it in her hand and looked at it for a while, then asked in puzzlement, "Why did you miss a jade goose?"

Xueyan smiled and said, "I take one casually, so I wouldn't pay attention to what it is."

Daiyu returned Yuyan to her, and said: "I have never been able to see through her. I will definitely not give you a goose for no reason. It is late today, and I will ask her when I see her next time." .”

When they left the garden, they saw Zicuckoo coming up to meet them, and said with a smile, "The girl said to go to see Lian's second grandma, why did it take so long for her to come back?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "I've seen Lian's second sister-in-law, and I've gone to Changcui nunnery. What are you doing here?"

Zijuan said: "Now my wife orders the grandma and the third girl to be housekeepers. I am afraid that the grandma and the third girl will lose their care, and I have invited Miss Bao to supervise them. Now they are all in the three conference halls at the gate of the garden. I am afraid that the girl will not know, so Let me tell you something. It was very lively yesterday, and Miss Shi was sick in Hengwu Garden, Miss Shi, don’t forget to visit her.”

After she finished speaking, Daiyu frowned first and said: "Young girl Yun has always been strong and strong, and she likes to have fun. Why did she collapse before I fell ill? Did you ask the doctor to take the medicine?"

Zijuan supported her to the outer room on the other side, and said with a smile: "Miss, have you ever suffered from an old disease in the past two years? Don't curse yourself with red lips and white teeth. Miss Shi has already invited a doctor and used the medicine. , everyone went to see it, only the girl was missing."

Daiyu said: "I've had lunch in the past, I'm afraid grandma will rush to eat in the room."

When passing by the meeting hall, she saw a steady stream of servants coming and going, Daiyu frowned, and saw Li Wan and Tanchun leading people out, thinking they had dispersed, but there was no sign of Baochai, so she couldn't help asking Zijuan in a low voice .

Zijuan clapped her palms and said with a smile: "I forgot, only the eldest grandma and the third girl are discussing matters here, but Miss Bao is in the room."

When Daiyu heard this, she sighed slightly.

As soon as Li Wan and Tan Chun left the conference hall, they saw Dai Yu also walking towards Jia Mu's room, hurried over and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Daiyu said, then looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I don't live in the garden now, you two sisters-in-law can't control me! I heard that you have your own kitchen in the garden and eat separately, why don't you come with me to your grandmother's room inside?"

Before Li Wan could speak, Tanchun smiled and said, "Although there is a kitchen in the garden, we are discussing matters at the gate of the garden, but the kitchen is at the back of the garden. Who is patient enough to go there? I am not tired enough, so I have already ordered to call Someone sent the case to the old lady's room, and we went to ask for a good meal in the old lady's room."

Seeing her in high spirits, Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "Now you are also a housekeeper, so you can order me."

Xueyan didn't take it seriously, being a housekeeper was not a good job in Rongguo Mansion, and she was complaining about her hard work, and Tanchun was very talented, but Rongguo Mansion was already decayed, and it would not last long after all.

On the other hand, Li Wan is very smart, and she doesn't get ahead in everything. She has Tanchun to come forward and Baochai to supervise her, so she can't blame her anyway. The management is very orderly and there is no disorder at all. How can Li Wan be a simple person?

When I arrived at Jia Mu's room for dinner, Mrs. Xing Wang was there to serve her. Jia Mu had already known everything in the garden and said, "My dear boy, it's hard for you two. Thanks to your wife for entrusting these things to you, if others, Where can I manage it?"

Tanchun smiled and said, "My wife entrusted us to do it, and she also loves us in her heart."

After hearing this, Jia Mu said calmly, "Since I have handed it over to you, you should take good care of it and don't disturb your relatives."

Tanchun responded with a smile.

Li Wan served Jia Mu first with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, without saying a word.

After finishing the meal, Daiyu hastily excused herself to go back to her room, and ordered Zijuan to change her clothes so that she could visit Shi Xiangyun. She sighed to Xueyan, "Second wife is too impatient. If the old lady is not as stable, live."

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Xueyan said in a low voice: "There is no way to do this. The old lady has not let go, how can the second wife be in a hurry? It is just telling the people in the house to treat Miss Bao seriously Second Mistress Bao, she will be the housekeeper in the future, and there are smart people all over the house, so why don't you understand what the Second Mistress intends?"

Daiyu waved her hand and said: "It has nothing to do with us anyway, Tan girl is a smart person, she will understand soon."

Snow Goose nodded yes.

In the afternoon, I went to see Shi Xiangyun in his room. Xiangyun was the most restless and loved talking about love
