The maid of the red house

Wang Bao looked at Xueyan carefully, and saw that she was slender, with a beautiful face, covered with silk and satin, her black hair tied with silver hairpins, her clothes were very light, and she only wore four silver bracelets on her wrists, nothing else The floral decorations seemed a bit plain, and she asked unconsciously along the way: "I didn't expect my sister to be here, maybe it's been a few years since I saw her?"

Although the words were simple, Xueyan could hear the temptation in his tone, she felt disdainful, and said with a smile on her face: "According to calculations, it must have been five or six years, and I don't really remember it. It will be a long time, my father-in-law will be fine." ?”

Wang Bao cleared his throat, and said: "Very well, since entering the palace, now I follow Grandpa Xia."

Xueyan said: "That's good. Don't mention the past, let's look at the present. I will be happy to see my father-in-law living well."

Hearing this, Wang Bao knew that Xueyan would not tell the story of her poverty and poverty, so she couldn't help but smile, relieved, and said: "I haven't seen my sister for so many years, she is as good as ever, I am grateful to my sister I can't stop, I always wanted to meet my sister to thank her, but I couldn't, if it wasn't for this time in front of the old lady in the house, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see my sister's golden face."

What Wang Bao said was the truth. He also came to Rongguo Mansion a few times under the order of Xia Shouzhong. At that time, he was the housekeeper of Sister Feng. He went directly to Jia Lian and Sister Feng to ask for money, and Xueyan would not go to see Sister Feng at Jia Lian. Outsiders, so I can only see it today.

Xueyan smiled and said: "Eunuch is serious, what kind of golden face am I? I'm just a girl, not as noble as my father-in-law in the palace."

Wang Bao became more joyful, thought for a while, took off a pair of jasper eyewear from his waist, and gave it to Xueyan, saying: "The last time I gave it to Xue Yan, I still haven't thanked it. As a gift to meet you."

Whether Yu Liansheng gave Xueyan something, whether it was worth a lot of money or worthless, Xueyan would accept it as a matter of course, but Wang Bao's condescending tone made Xueyan very angry, but she knew the reason why little ghosts are hard to deal with. , then accepted it with a smile, and said: "Then I would like to thank my father-in-law. I was just saying that I don't have a good piece of jade to wear!"

After receiving the pair of jasper pendants, Xueyan decided to wash them and put them in the jewelry box. She would not touch them normally, and if she saw Wang Bao again, she would wear them to him so that he would not feel that she looked down on him.

Thinking of this, Xueyan secretly sighed.

Yu Liansheng told her that he had met Wang Bao in the palace, but one of them was in the harem and the other was in the Daming Palace. They didn't see each other very often. Even if they did, they seldom spoke. Yu Liansheng didn't care about the past. However, Wang Bao was afraid that others would know that he had stolen the silver and entered the palace, so he avoided Yu Liansheng everywhere, and never mentioned it in front of Xueyan.

Seeing that she took it with both hands, Wang Bao was very proud of her smile, and besides, she had already arrived at Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

Mrs. Wang's courtyard is very clean. Aunt Zhao is sitting on the porch and taking a nap while Yu Chuan'er is doing needlework. When she sees Xueyan coming in with a small inner prisoner, she understands it. One more time, please wait a moment, eunuch."

Xueyan waved her hand and said, "Hurry up, don't keep the prince waiting."

Yu Chuan'er understood, and hurried in to inform. When she was young, Wang Bao was invited in. When Xueyan was about to leave, Yu Chuan'er hurriedly said: "You go to my room and wait. Let me bring tea in. I have something to tell you." !"

Xueyan had no choice but to stop, and went to Yuchuan'er's room instead.

Aunt Zhao opened her eyes and looked at them for a while, then closed them again. Now that Daiyu is getting older, she treats people like Aunt Zhao more politely and respectfully. There are things that belong to others and Jia Huan, but they are slightly inferior. It's not like she looked down on them when she was young, so Aunt Zhao didn't dislike Daiyu's master and servant.

Yu Chuan'er brought the tea in and was about to leave when Wang Bao said with a smile: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have disturbed the family, but who knows that Grandpa Xia had something important to do, but today I saw it was a thousand short." 200 taels of silver, I had no choice but to ask my wife for help, and I will borrow some time for the time being, and send it when I have money tomorrow."

Yu Chuan'er was startled, she opened her mouth and said 200 taels, what a big tone.

Like eunuchs who came out of the palace asking for money, they never returned.

I saw Mrs. Wang's hand holding the rosary trembling, and then she said, "What are you asking for? It's not too much. Yu Chuaner, go outside and ask the accountant to pay 200 taels of silver." Bring it."

Yu Chuan'er was helpless, but Zhou Rui's family was not here, so she had to go there in person, not wanting to listen to the accountant, and hurriedly said: "My girl, how can I pay for this money? How can I pay for it in the account? The old lady's birthday, isn't it?" Made it here and there? It’s just this time to make clothes and jewelry, and I don’t have any money to make two sets for the girl, and the girls don’t have any.”

Yu Chuan'er laughed and said, "It's really urgent in the palace, so why don't you use the money first."

Hearing this, the accountant immediately lowered his face and said, "The money on the account can be misappropriated at will? Who will settle the account if there is no money? None of us can make decisions, and the wife will come in person." No more!"

Yu Chuan'er had no choice but to come back and whispered in Mrs. Wang's ear.

After Madam Wang heard this, her heart tightened. Could it be that the mansion is already in such a difficult situation?Just about to send someone to Sister Feng's place to ask her to find a solution, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Zhong's impatient face, and hurriedly asked Yu Chuan'er to open the ladder, and Caixia brought out 200 taels of silver.

Seeing this, Wang Bao showed a smile on his face, and said, "Grandpa Xia is also having a hard time in the palace, otherwise he wouldn't bother his wife. Grandpa Xia is in charge of the affairs in the harem. I don't know how many people want to give Grandpa Xia a face." !"

Mrs. Wang knew what it meant, and said with a smile, "it's natural." She also ordered Yu Chuan'er to offer tea money.

The purse was heavy in his hand, Wang Bao became more joyful, put it in his sleeve, and said: "Since that's the case, I won't bother my wife."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered someone to take him out.

When they left, Yu Chuan'er saw Mrs. Wang's expression was different, so she hurriedly called out.

Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, and sighed: "The famines that have happened several times a year, when will it be the leader? I have to give it to them for the sake of the empress. Sure enough, there is no money left in the account?"

Yu Chuan'er replied: "It's really hard to move, this year I didn't even buy all the jewelry for the girls, and the servants don't have any."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang sighed and remained silent.

Yu Chuan'er was anxious to see Xue Yan, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, madam, it will be fine when the rented house is delivered next year."

Mrs. Wang sighed: "What's so good about it? When the rent is delivered at the end of the year, the New Year's wine has to be prepared, and gold and silver picks have to be made. , Another red incident after another. In the past, there were profits from Miss Lin's several Zhuangzi shops, but this year they have to keep them for her dowry. How can the mansion have any face?"

Yu Chuan'er was silent after hearing this, Mrs. Wang didn't care about things for a long time, if Sister Feng hadn't shied away this time and went to the accountant to ask for money, otherwise she wouldn't know that the mansion has become so difficult.

After a long time, Mrs. Wang said: "Go and ask girl Feng if she is alright? If she is alright, come out and help me. Since she is gone, the house is in disarray."

Yu Chuan'er promised to go out and went to the room to find Xueyan.

Xueyan was eating fruit with the little girl, when she saw her come in, she stood up and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, what can I say?"

Yu Chuan'er told the little girl to go out, turned around and opened the cabinet, took out a paper bag and handed it to her, saying: "This is Poria cocos frost, and my wife gave it to me. I will keep half for you, and the other half for my mother. How about it?" You know how to eat it, so I won’t go into details.”

Xueyan declined and said, "But this year the officials from southern Guangdong came to pay homage to us? We got it early, sister can keep it for herself."

Yu Chuan'er laughed and said, "It's not the one who was filial at the beginning of this year. It's also the one who caused troubles in the garden. Now I can often go home and eat with my mother. You take this, eat it if you like it, don't worry about it." If you love to eat, you will reward people."

Xue Yanfang took it away, and when she went out, she saw Yu Chuan'er coming out together, and she couldn't help being surprised: "Are you still going to send me off?"

Yu Chuan'er said, "What for you? I'm looking for Second Mistress."

Saying that, she quietly told Wang Baolai to ask for money today, but she couldn't pay it in the account. Mrs. Wang took the ladder herself, and now she sent herself to ask Sister Feng if she was cured, when she would come out to housekeeper, and so on.

Xueyan was not surprised when she heard this, she had expected that without the other half of the Lin family's property, the Rongguo Mansion would start to decline earlier.

At the gate of Sister Feng's courtyard, the two parted ways, and Yu Chuan'er went in alone to find Sister Feng.

Sister Feng was learning the rules from Nanny Rong, and when she heard it, she sneered, now she understands the situation in the mansion, not to mention Mrs. Wang wholeheartedly wants to marry Baochai, so why should she be the first?Leaning lazily on the pillow, he said to Yu Chuan'er, "The elder sister-in-law and the third girl are the housekeepers, under the supervision of Miss Bao, they are managing well now, and there has been no trouble. Why did you ask me to come out and be the housekeeper?"

Yu Chuan'er hurriedly said: "Although there are big grandma and third girl Bao girl housekeeper, how can it be more considerate and considerate than grandma."

Sister Feng grinned, then stared at her eyes, and said: "It makes no sense, who knows that the housekeepers say that their housekeepers are much more sophisticated than me? Now the house has saved several expenses and saved a lot of money, and they are all studying. Literacy, much better than me! I just heard that the palace sent a young eunuch to ask for money, but is there such a thing? It seems that the money in the mansion can't be supported, so they come to me. Could it be that I can spend a few taels of silver to spend it?"

Yu Chuan'er was speechless for a moment, so she had to remain silent.

Ping'er brought tea, and Sister Feng took it, took a sip, looked at Yu Chuan'er with a smile, and said, "You know, I've been ill since the end of the year, but I look good on the surface, but I'm really at a loss. The doctors said that I was strong but I was doing good work, and ordered me to take care of it. I really didn’t dare to work hard, so I had to rest. You go back and tell your wife, and you’ve said it for a year or so. When I get better, I will take over. Right now, I’m going to bother my sister-in-law and my third sister Bao. How many girls are there!"

After hearing this, Yu Chuan'er had to go back and tell Mrs. Wang, who also felt helpless.

Sister Feng waited for Yu Chuan'er to leave, immediately put down the tea bowl, pulled Mammy Rong and said, "Good mama, how am I doing today?"

Mother Rong said: "The latter words are good, but the former ones are too impatient."

Sister Feng lowered her head for a while, then sighed: "What Mammy said is that I am annoyed that I don't usually think about me, and others can take care of the housekeeper, but calling me the housekeeper like this is because I don't have enough money, and my sister-in-law is stingy. Ya Tou is a girl's family, Miss Bao is an outsider, and she doesn't have any money to pay for it, so she thought of me?"

When talking about the money in the mansion, Madam Rong was silent. Although she was surprised that the Rongguo Mansion ran out of money, she didn't want to talk too much.

Suddenly listening to Qiu Tong yelling at the little girl outside the window, Sister Feng frowned and smiled coldly.

Qiu Tong and Jia Lian had long been interested in each other, but now that Jia Amnesty rewarded her, the two were just lovers, and Sister Feng didn't care about it at all, letting Qiu Tong hook Jia Lian and gradually forgetting about Second Sister You.Qiu Tong relied on being favored and relying on the power of Jia She and Mrs. Xing. Every time Jia Lian went behind, she began to criticize Sang and scold Huai, and she didn't pay attention to Sister Feng and Ping'er.

Ping'er heard Qiutong pointing at Sister Feng inside and out, and couldn't help but get angry: "Grandma, listen, what are these talking about?"

Sister Feng glanced at her and said, "What are you talking about? The truth! Who told Second Master Lian to go to the back? Second Master Lian is not at home, so she has to scold him or her? This is given by the old lady, who is more respectable than me. Woolen cloth!"

Although Jia Mu said in front of Jia Lian that even if Jia Lian went, the house would not be consummated, but what kind of temperament is Jia Lian?Where can I bear it?Didn't Qiutong have a hot fight?Who cares about national filial piety and family filial piety.Three days passed at two ends, and as soon as it passed, Qiutong scolded, and Sister Feng asked someone to pass on Qiutong's scolding words to the back to let Second Sister You know, watching them two dragons and tigers fighting, she just stayed still.

Hearing Sister Feng's words, Ping'er sighed and said nothing more.

Sister Feng lowered her head and sipped her tea, and suddenly said, "Why did you pack so many things for this autumn's clothes? It's not the usual two sets of jewelry. I was busy with other things, so I forgot about it."

Ping'er had no choice but to say: "The money in the account in the house is not enough, so I saved a little, and the servants didn't give any of it."

Sister Feng was terrified, and sighed: "Nowadays the chickens in the house have eaten the New Year's food. Fortunately, I let go early, otherwise I don't know whether it is a gold collar or a gold and silver thing at this time!"

Said, Naiming Ping'er said: "Choose a set of exquisite and unique jewelry that my mother's ex-son gave me, and send it to Miss Lin."

Ping'er went in, and as expected brought a brocade box, opened it, and Sister Feng saw that it was a small and unique set of jasper hair, hairpins, earrings, rings, and hairpins. The jade color is crystal clear, and the carving is exquisite, very beautiful.

After seeing it, Sister Feng nodded and said, "Excellent. Only Sister Lin can wear this headgear to look elegant. You send it to Sister Lin and say that I don't care about things now and don't know what's going on in the house. Please forgive me." One or two."

Ping'er sent it as she said, and Daiyu couldn't help but laugh.

Xue Yan took a look at it, and said with a smile: "Your grandma is very generous now."

Ping'er laughed and said: "It's generous, it depends on who it is, if it's not Miss Lin, how can grandma be willing to give it away?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.

Sister Feng has indeed been very generous to Daiyu's family recently. Xueyan washed and dried the jasper pendant Wang Bao gave her, and threw it into the dressing box. When the money from the store arrives, it will be prepared for our girl to marry tomorrow, so I ask your grandma to put more thought into it."

Ping'er laughed and said, "What do you need to say? Our grandma will definitely do her best."

Zhanyan has already entered September, and this autumn day is breezy, Daiyu enjoys the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard with great interest, Zhou Hong sends someone to deliver something, Xueyan hurriedly picks it up, and orders her to leave after entertaining her.What Zhou Hong sent was of course the skins he got from hunting in August, Daiyu was especially fond of the leopard skin, and Xueyan chose the ones he picked out to make clothes for Daiyu, and the winter clothes sent by the mansion in October were gradually inferior to those of previous years. , the leather is not the best, Daiyu didn't wear it, and gave it to the little girls below to wear it, and Xueyan made it herself.

Jia Lian left for Ping'an Prefecture at the beginning of October. Seeing Sister Feng ignoring her these days, Qiutong became even more aggressive. After Jia Lian set off, she went to Xiaohuazhi Alley to point fingers at Sang Huai and scolded Huai so much that Second Sister You spent every day. Close the door, dare not say a word.

Second Sister You's reputation is extremely bad now, and the neighbors all looked at Second Sister You with contempt after hearing Qiutong's scolding words.

Sister Feng quietly sent someone to find Zhang Hua and asked him to come to look for Second Sister You, but Zhang Hua was afraid of the situation of the Rongguo Mansion and dared not, so Sister Feng was so angry that she fell on her back and said angrily, "Sure enough, the mud can't support the wall. Someone snatched his wife away!" Seeing that this matter didn't work out, he didn't force him very much, he just laughed and watched Qiutong and Second Sister You fight.

It was already the twelfth lunar month when Jia Lian came back. Second Sister You's heart was like coptis, her face was yellow and thin, and she didn't know whether it was regret or hatred.

Now that Sister Feng doesn't want to be jealous, and she has a concubine, Jia Lian can't help but look a little proud and proud. Seeing that Second Sister You has been ill recently, she doesn't come here often, and instead goes to Qiutong's room to rest.

When Qiutong saw it, she became more and more arrogant.

Jia Lian came to see Second Sister You one day, and Second Sister You mentioned her pregnancy, so happy that Jia Lian went to ask for a doctor.I didn't want Imperial Physician Wang to serve in the army, so a servant invited another Imperial Physician Hu. Who would have thought that Imperial Physician Hu was a quack doctor, and when he saw Second Sister You's golden face, his soul flew away, and he prescribed a prescription to catch the medicine When he came back, he dropped the baby boy in the middle of the night, and Second Sister You fell into a coma immediately.

Jia Lian was so angry that he asked another imperial physician to treat Second Sister You, and at the same time sent someone to find Hu Junrong, but when Hu Junrong heard the news, he immediately ran away, and Jia Lian had to beat the servant who went to invite the doctor to death.

When Sister Feng got the news, she secretly said: "God really has eyes!"

Mother Rong was somewhat suspicious of Sister Feng, and asked, "Didn't Second Grandma find Imperial Physician Hu?"

Sister Feng chuckled and said, "Mother thinks highly of me. Could it be that I have a clever plan to know if Second Sister You is pregnant or not? It would be easy for me to kill a person, so why bother to ask the people around Second Master to invite her? Lian The second master beat that little servant like that, if I did it, I didn't protect him when I was half dead, how could he not tell it? Besides, I don't know what doctor Hu is! Now the country is filial to the family, but the country is filial , but there is a pregnancy between family filial piety, it is not a good reputation, if it falls into the ears of outsiders, can the second master stay?"

It's just that Second Sister You lost her child first, so Jia Lian would be sad first. If you wait another two months, everyone will know that Second Sister You is pregnant. , will this child be left behind!

Nanny Rong has been teaching her for several months, seeing that she has improved a lot, she took the opportunity to return to Daiyu's side.

Sister Feng couldn't keep her in every way, so she had to prepare a generous gift and send her back in person.

Daiyu was very happy to see Nanny Rong come back, she left Sister Feng to talk, but Xueyan liked to inquire about the second sister You, so she took the opportunity to ask Ping'er, Ping'er shook her head and said: "It's not our grandma, our grandma hates You The second sister is true, if she had already made a move in the past, and now she is taught by Madam Rong, how could she get her hands dirty?"

Xue Yan thinks about it, no matter it is now or in the original book, Jia Lian sent someone to invite the doctor. Who can know that Wang imperial physician is not there, and Jia Lian will definitely invite Hu imperial physician?What's more, Tai Physician Hu took the pulse for half a day. If it was really a bribe, how could he not know that Second Sister You was pregnant?Why bother to check the pulse again and again?Just prescribe abortion pills.Besides, Doctor Hu didn't run away immediately after checking the pulse and prescribing the medicine, but fled in packs when he heard that Second Sister You was not well. It can be seen that he is a quack doctor.

And the boy who was beaten half to death, if he knew that the doctor Hu was wrong, Tete went to invite him, didn't he expect Jia Lian to deal with him afterwards?No matter how powerful Sister Feng is, can she still protect Jia Lian from the fury?Sister Feng doesn't care, so doesn't he hate Sister Feng and tell Jia Lian?I think it was a coincidence that Dr. Hu came here, maybe he was the one who prescribed the tiger and wolf medicine to Qingwen in the original book.

It is true that Sister Feng is cruel, but the mystery of Sister You's abortion may have nothing to do with her.

Xueyan shook her head and sighed, who knows the ins and outs of it?Right now, it wasn't Sister Feng who made the move, she never wanted to hide it from Nanny Rong, since she said no, she guessed it wasn't, as for the original book, it's a mystery, it's hard to guess the truth.

Having said that, thinking of the fate of Second Sister You, Ping'er inevitably felt a little bit sad.

Xueyan smiled when she saw it. In the original book, Sister Feng knew about Second Sister You, but Ping'er told her, not anyone else.Ping'er and Sister Feng were both damaged and prosperous, so she told Sister Feng about Second Sister You, worried that Sister Feng would lose, and she would not be tolerated by her new grandmother.But she is kind by nature, so when Sister Feng was punishing Second Sister You, she sympathized with Second Sister You.

Externally, she and Sister Feng are of the same mind, and she is also loyal to Sister Feng in everything she does. Internally, she pleases Jia Lian, and her kindness is even more respected by servants.It has to be said that the dispute between wives and concubines cannot be flattered. Living between Jia Lian and Sister Feng was not easy for her, and Sister Feng was not happy with Jia Lian after a while, so Second Sister You stole the silver at the funeral. gift.

In the matter of the second sister You, there are Jia Rong and others. Jia Lian hates Sister Feng deeply, and also resents Qiutong. The only person who benefits is Ping'er.

But at the moment, Sister Feng doesn't intervene at all. In the dispute between Second Sister You and Qiu Tong, one person died and the other was injured, but it was Sister Feng who benefited. She was transferred and taught by Nanny Rong for a few months, and Sister Feng was finally not so stupid and vicious.

After Second Sister You died, Sister Feng was very happy. She wanted to take the opportunity to take care of Qiutong, but she gave up after thinking about it. She secretly asked Jia Lian to remind Jia Lian that she was angry when the imperial physician gave Sister You a pulse. When Jia Lian asked, Knowing that it was Qiutong who did it, she couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart, but Qiutong didn't know anything, and relied on Mrs. Jia She Xing to send someone to invite Jia Lian to go home.

Jia Lian refused, so Qiu Tong ran to Mrs. Xing and cried, and was so angry that Mrs. Xing trembled all over, so she sent someone to call Jia Lian, saying that if he didn't want it, he would send it back to the master, and Jia Lian had to go back to Qiu Tong's room. rest.

Second Sister You found out that her heart was like ashes, her mouth melted her gold, and her bones were destroyed. In the past few months, she had received countless blows and insults, and she dared not walk in front of others. Tong made things difficult for himself, but he still went back home to rest, took a piece of gold and swallowed it that night, cleaned up neatly, and went away cleanly.

When the second sister You died, Jia Lian immediately held the corpse and cried bitterly. Baoyu wanted to go there and cry, but was stopped by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang together.Second Sister You's reputation is extremely bad now, and Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang would not allow Baoyu to get involved in it no matter what.

Sister Feng watched Jia Lian stay with him for seven days, but she suddenly felt a little hesitant. Even if she was like this with Second Sister You, who he liked in every possible way, in time, what should she do with her, his wife whom he hated deeply?Thinking of this, Sister Feng shuddered immediately, so she let Jia Lian take care of it, without interfering or making a sound, and only took the opportunity to order her own people to do it when Jia Lian came back from carrying things.

Sister Feng is well, and she is just raising her. After the new year, every time Jia Lian sees Qiutong, she thinks of Sister You, and she gets better with Sister Feng. Bogey, provoked countless public anger.

In this way, Sister Feng's virtuousness and weakness are more and more revealed.

The better Sister Feng and Jia Lian were, the more fearful they became, and the more she took to heart what Nanny Rong had taught her. She still refused to take over the housekeeping, and took over the management when Jia Lian took care of the Daiyu Grange shop. He didn't ask Jia Lian to succeed, but said that Jia's mother ordered Daiyu to buy the dowry, and it would be a year before she could reach the end.

Sister Feng took care of these things and devoted herself to buying wedding supplies for Daiyu. It was rare that she didn't get a penny. She asked Xueyan to come to her room to help keep the accounts. bracelet.

Xueyan shook her head and said nothing, besides keeping records of Daiyu's marriage, occasionally she also kept accounts for Sister Feng, some of which were of unknown origin.

When it was mid-spring, Daiyu remembered that she would be old in another year, so she blushed and her heart beat, and wrote a song about peach blossoms. Xueyan saw that it was different from the sad words in the original work, but it was full of joy, but still romantic and chic. .

The sisters saw it, and hurriedly changed the Begonia Club to the Peach Blossom Club, and elected Daiyu to be the owner of the club.

I never thought that the third day of March was Tanchun's birthday. Yuanchun sent the little eunuch from the palace early to give a few obsolete things. Everyone in the family had birthday gifts. Tanchun also changed his dress and went around to salute. Change it to the fifth day.

Xueyan smiled and said: "Your Majesty loves the third girl, and no one else's birthday is worth it!"

Daiyu didn't think so, and said: "Although they are not of the same mother, they are sisters after all, so they are inevitably closer than others. Besides, it can be seen that the second aunt is very satisfied with the third sister. Fang said good things about the third sister to the empress when she entered the palace. .”

Snow Goose nodded yes.

Tanchun's gaining the trust of Mrs. Wang will be of great benefit to Tanchun's future marriage. Of course they are happy for Tanchun.

For these girls, Xueyan likes them very much. Maybe it was because of Daiyu that she didn't like Xiangyun at first, but after getting along with each other for a long time, she has understood a lot and understood their respective open-mindedness.Now, I know their fate clearly, but I am unable to change it just because I am a little girl. To be honest, it is also a kind of sadness.

Bao Dai's tragedy, is it not that these two people are born with a lot of beauty, have seen through the world, and have to muddle along?

After Tanchun returned to her room, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart when she looked at the things Yuan Chun had given her. The things were nothing, the most rare thing was Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang's attitude towards her. She only hoped that Mrs. Wang would still treat her like this in the future , so I can find a good family for myself, so I don't have to waste time in the boudoir because of Aunt Zhao.

The sisters are as usual, but Sister Feng is very busy. It turns out that her sister has already engaged the son of the Marquis of Baoning, who is scheduled to get married on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month. Her mother often picks her up to help her home. Seeing that she is in high spirits, her words and deeds are different from usual, she is very satisfied , asked the reason and knew that it was Rongmao who taught it, and immediately said: "It should be so, I didn't teach you well in the past, you are lucky to meet Rongmao."

Sister Feng sighed: "Everyone in the whole family is a genius, but I am an idiot." She also said that it was Daiyu's contribution.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng was secretly grateful when she heard this, and said: "She is a good child. Who doesn't know that she is strong and loyal? Everyone says that the Zhou family is blessed. Never give up."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "their young couple are very nice, and they often send each other things and poems."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng said: "The title has been decided long ago, and it's not private. It's only natural for them to contact each other."

After finishing speaking, he asked her sister to bring Daiyu when she left the cabinet.

Sister Feng said yes, she came back from Wang's house, and the next day she served the sisters for dinner in Jia's mother's room. Suddenly there was a letter from Jia Zheng, saying that she would go to Beijing in June, and the whole family was full of joy. She was so busy that Jia's mother felt distressed and advised him not to, because Tanchun Baochai said that the article could not be replaced, but the words could be replaced. If you help him write an article every day, you can make up a lot, so Jia's mother can rest assured.

Daiyu laughed and sighed, feeling sorry for her elder brother who grew up with her since she was a child, so she stopped the poetry club and wrote some for him.

Baoyu was busy working hard every day. Who would have imagined that not long after, Jia Zheng sent news that the tsunami along the coast had ruined several living people. When Fang arrived, Baoyu wandered again.

One day after Liu Xu Ci was written, everyone was flying kites, Xueyan took the eagle kite that Zhou Hong sent to Daiyu, Daiyu was reluctant to let it go, and said: "This one is hanging on the wall, and I will exchange it for another one. "

Xueyan smiled and said: "The girl is getting more and more stingy, it's just a kite, let it fly this year, and ask my uncle to make another kite next year."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words: "Your uncle did it with his own hands?"

Daiyu hurriedly said, "Listen to her nonsense!"

Everyone ignored her, just looked at Xueyan with a smile.

Xueyan said: "Our uncle did not do it, if someone else did it, our girl would not want it!"

In the end, Daiyu was still not willing to let go of the eagle kite sent by Zhou Hongzuo. Instead, she flew another kite and cut the string in her hand. Suddenly she saw a mandarin duck approaching, looked at Daiyu with a smile and said: "Congratulations to Miss Lin."

Daiyu wondered, "What is my happy event?"

Xueyan also looked at Yuanyang, but she couldn't see it on her face.

Yuanyang laughed and said: "I heard that Master Zhou has made great contributions in southern Fujian. Because he brought the imperial physician and medicinal materials there in advance, the plague was contained and never spread. Although some died, they were only a few hundred. Therefore, the emperor and the present are very concerned Huanxi, but at the beginning of the court, there was something to say, so I didn't give Mr. Zhou grace, but only absolved his previous crimes, and instead reinstated Mr. Zhou to his original post."

When Daiyu heard this, she immediately beamed with joy.

She has been communicating with Zhou Hong in letters and poems for a long time. Of course, she knows that Zhou Hong's ambition is not extinguished, and she only hates being idle at home. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, she has already returned to her post. Although she had expected it, she was still happy to hear Yuanyang say unlimited.

Everyone came up to congratulate Xi, and Daiyu blushed unconsciously.

Now that Zhou Hong has returned to his original post, he will rush back to Shanhaiguan in a few days. Daiyu hastily made two sets of clothes, shoes and socks for him.

Zhou Hong remembered what Liu Xianglian said in the old year. He planned to go out of the country to serve as a filial piety, so he married Daiyu first. It's not too late to go to Beijing to get married after being transferred, it's not good to marry at this time and leave her alone at home, he already knew from Sang Long that he would go to Beijing as an errand in the coming year to take charge of the Imperial Guard.

Madam Zhou wept with joy, pulled Zhou Hong and said: "Although we said earlier that we can recover, but when things come to an end, we still feel a little dazed." Since Zhou Yuan made meritorious service, posts from various families have also been sent in one after another, and the family is not the same as before So few.

Zhou Yan, Zhou Lian and Zhou Yan all came up to congratulate her, and said with a smile: "It's time to rejoice, it's all thanks to my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Zhou nodded and said: "No, if Lin Yatou hadn't reminded you, how could your father have prepared so well and made meritorious deeds in southern Fujian? It's a pity that the emperor and the two saints have long been interested. Although your father has made meritorious deeds, he can't As an official, fortunately your father intends to temporarily retire for a few years, so he will not be disappointed."

Zhou Hongdao: "Now that our family is free from crime, even if I am far away in Shanhaiguan, I can rest assured."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, and said: "Our family has had ups and downs this year, and it finally got better. You must be careful on the way, even in war. Don't forget that you have parents, siblings, and Lin The girl is waiting for you to return to Beijing to get married next year!"

Zhou Hong respectfully agreed.

On the second day of April, he bid farewell to his parents and set off with his things, including Daiyu's needlework.

After Zhou Hong left, it was difficult to exchange letters and poems. Daiyu felt a little lonely, and only occasionally sent some things to Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Yan. On the tenth day of May, when Wang Ziteng's daughter got married, Sister Feng came to invite her. Fang slightly less bored.

Daiyu used to come here with Mrs. Wang, Baochai and Baoyu, and also met Mrs. Wang Ziteng elsewhere, but after a long absence, she grew taller and appeared more and more elegant. Looking at Baochai again, although it is difficult to distinguish between her and Daiyu, her bearing is not as good as Daiyu's, and her status is also far inferior.

Thinking that Jia's mother has never let go, and that Baochai is already 17 years old, Mrs. Wang Ziteng sighed secretly.

Daiyu didn't know Mrs. Wang Ziteng's thoughts. She met a few old friends at the banquet and went to talk. During this time, Mo Xin's mother, General Mo's wife, pulled her and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you don't want to say anything. In the past, your sister really misses you, but I keep her at home, and she will go out in June, so don't forget to come over."

Daiyu responded with a smile, and said, "I'm also thinking about my new sister. Now there are many happy events, and Wan'er is going out on the sixth day of June."

Not only that, even Xueyan's god-sister Lai Xinrong is also on the sixth day of June.

Mrs. Mo said with a smile: "In the old year, banquets, music, and marriages were not allowed. How many people were delayed. This is not the first time to be a filial piety, and they have been organized one after another. I have several families to go to have a wedding every month. At the beginning of next year, there will be weddings. Eat your wine."

When Daiyu heard this, she immediately blushed and refused to follow her footsteps.

Suddenly someone came to call Daiyu, and Daiyu confessed her crimes, and it was another gossip.

After finally finishing her work, Mrs. Wang Ziteng was able to rest at night. Seeing Wang Ziteng coming back, she talked about seeing Daiyu during the day, and said: "It's really not me talking. Miss Lin used to talk to Bao girl when she was young. They are on par, although they still look the same now, but they are immediately different in bearing, no wonder such a good marriage was arranged at such a young age."

Wang Ziteng drank a few glasses of wine during the day and was eating hangover tea when he heard the sound: "Not only is the marriage a good one, but the young general Zhou is also very talented. Now that the official is back to his original post, he will definitely be promoted to another level when his term expires next year. In the past, it was the command of the third rank."

Wang Ziteng was surprised: "There is such a good thing?"

Wang Ziteng said: "Don't be too surprised. Military rewards are very generous. Young General Zhou suffered a loss this year and stayed at home for more than half a year. Who doesn't know that it was caused by framing? Naturally, I feel a little guilty now. He will be in the next year. Shanhaiguan made a few more contributions, which shows that it will be promoted next year. You treat Miss Lin better, the Zhou family is different from other families, both civil and military have friendship!"

Mrs. Wang Ziteng nodded and said: "Because of the two aunts, I didn't like Miss Lin very much. Now that Brother Feng has benefited from Miss Lin and is an excellent person, I should naturally treat her well. Add makeup to her to make it thicker."

Speaking of Daiyu getting married and adding makeup, Wang Ziteng quite agreed, and then sighed: "I'm afraid there will be famine at that time."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng was silent. She walked around more than the Jia family, so she naturally knew what everyone was talking about.

Wang Ziteng said again: "If you give a dowry of 50 million taels of silver, outsiders will be able to live with it. If there is no such thing, the Jia family will just wait for someone to poke the back."

Everyone knew that the Jia family embezzled the Lin family's property, but if more dowries were given to Daiyu, outsiders would not be able to say anything, after all, no one would be tempted by such a sum of property, but
