Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat
Chapter 81
The concubine frowned and thought for a long time, and wanted to ask the woman again, where is the shadow of that person?
A servant girl next to her smiled and said, "Wangfei is looking for Mrs. Zhang? She has already left."
It was the concubine's confidant girl named Zhu'er who spoke.The sister-in-law Zhang who left was originally the dowry girl of the princess, and later married a steward of the palace, and she is still serving in front of the princess, and she is also a confidant.The concubine is thirty-eight this year, because she is well maintained, she doesn't look like a 38-year-old, she is younger than others who are thirty.
She married into Prince Jing's Mansion at the age of 16, and gave birth to her son at the age of 20, who is now the eldest son Li Yu.Many of the eight maids who were dowry as dowry back then became overwhelmed after entering the palace, and some even tried to seduce the prince, and were kicked out by her, and married far away.Later, there were only two who served her wholeheartedly and faithfully, and one of them died of illness a few years ago, and now this is the only one left.
Zhu'er was added later, she was only 15 years old, and she was a competent person trained and trained by the princess.
The concubine said to Zhu'er: "I suddenly remembered that there is one thing I haven't ordered. I think she hasn't gone far, so go and call her back."
Zhu'er agreed and went, and led Mrs. Zhang in after a while.The princess had already sat up straight, drinking tea with a teacup in her hand.Zhu'er saluted and said that Mrs. Zhang had come.Sister-in-law Zhang also saluted and greeted Ann with a smile on her face.
Only then did the concubine raise her head slightly, and glanced at them indifferently, "Pearl goes down, Haitang stays."
Haitang is the name that Zhang's sister-in-law used to serve as a maid for the princess.Although she is married now, the princess still likes to call her by her former name.She was sold as a maid when she was four or five years old. Her biological parents don't remember much, and she doesn't know her surname.The man she married was surnamed Zhang, so everyone called her eldest sister-in-law.
Since she got married, no one called her by that name except the concubine.
"What else does the princess want my servants to do?" Sister-in-law Zhang stepped forward, bowed and laughed.
"This way..." The concubine motioned for Zhang's sister-in-law to come forward, and whispered, "You go to the Shou'an Hou's mansion and tell the marquis, and focus on finding out if the prince has any affairs outside?" Thinking of the man named Zhou Hang , the face is somewhat similar to the prince, she suspects that he is the prince's illegitimate son outside.Otherwise, why does the prince care so much about this wild boy who dare not even reveal his identity?
The Marquis of Shou'an is her natal family, and the current Marquis of Shou'an is her elder brother.
Mrs. Zhang nodded knowingly, "Princess, don't worry."
But Daiyu walked around Cuiyuxuan and sat down to rest in the main room.Several maidservants sent by the princess successively brought many snacks, candied fruit, preserved fruit and other things for her to eat.Daiyu observed carefully, all the maids in the palace were really strict and disciplined, incomparable with other places, they seemed to have been trained to speak and walk, and they were also very considerate in taking care of others.
But after all, she is not at ease in her own home, leaning on a big lead pillow, Lin Daiyu thought.
Although the princess is very amiable and her words are full of love, it always makes people feel alienated.How should I put it, it is the attitude of receiving guests that makes people feel close.Unlike the adoptive father, although he speaks directly, he is very heartwarming. It is a true sincere heart, which makes people feel close to him naturally.
Before coming here, Daiyu felt that her adoptive father and princess must be very affectionate, otherwise, her foster father would be about 40 years old, but there is only one princess in the inner house, not even a side concubine or concubine.
But when I arrived at the palace, it didn't look like it.
Daiyu is sensitive, she observes things meticulously, and rarely makes mistakes.At least, from the communication between the prince and the princess, she didn't see any emotional fluctuations that should exist between a loving couple.
A truly loving person doesn't do that.
In the second half of the afternoon, Daiyu proposed to take her leave and go home.
The concubine kept her very much, saying that Cuiyuxuan had been cleaned a month ago and was just waiting for her to come, at least stay for two days before leaving, this is what the prince meant.Daiyu said: "Princess loves to keep me for two more days. I shouldn't have resigned. I just came to Beijing. Many relatives haven't visited yet. One is not good to be late, and the other is that people don't say anything about it, but they don't like it in their hearts." It's time to blame. Besides, this trip was in a hurry, and I didn't bring a change of clothes. It won't be too late to visit my adoptive father and the princess after everything is settled, and the princess won't think the little girl is troublesome at that time."
The concubine smiled and said: "You can talk, this child. Well, if that's the case, I won't keep you. Zhu'er, you follow yourself, send your Miss Lin to the second gate and come back!"
As he said that, he took off a crystal clear jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on Daiyu's wrist, "This was given to me by the Queen Mother when I was born in Yu'er. I have worn it for more than ten years and never left it. Today I gave it to you."
Daiyu was about to fade away: "Princess, this is impossible!"
The concubine held her hand, not letting her fade away: "Nothing, you are the daughter recognized by the prince, and you are also my daughter. I treat you the same as Yu'er. If you have something good, don't give it to your daughter. , who will you give it back to? If you refuse to accept it, I won’t be happy.”
Daiyu had no choice but to accept it, "That's it...thank you, Princess."
"Why is it still called Wangfei, it should be called foster mother."
Zhu'er has directed several little girls to carry a small sedan chair, the princess personally sent Daiyu to the sedan chair, and asked people to carry it slowly, the girl is weak, so don't make people feel uncomfortable.
Back home, Daiyu ordered someone to move the imperial concubine chair under the crabapple tree in the yard.She leaned on the imperial concubine chair, looking at the emerald green bracelet against the afterglow of the setting sun in the west.Produced by the royal family, the appearance is naturally excellent.Jade raises people, big families, both men and women, like to wear jade.
But this jade bracelet is not suitable for Daiyu to wear.
The reason is too big...
Daiyu is only over 11 years old, and she is slender than ordinary people, and her wrists are naturally thinner than normal eleven or twelve-year-old girls.Wearing this jade bracelet on her hand, it is like a child stealing an adult's shoes, it is very funny.As long as you flick your wrist a little, or if you accidentally walk, the jade bracelet will fall off.
Although Daiyu often wears jade pendants, jade pendants, jade hairpins, jade rings and the like, she never wears bracelets, which make her wrists uncomfortable.Especially when writing and drawing, the hands tend to tremble after a long time.
But after all, it was given by the princess, or something given by the queen mother. If you don't wear it, if you hear it in her ears, you will feel arrogant.
Forget it, I'll only wear it when I go to Prince Jing's mansion in the future.
-
But it is said that Mrs. Wang was reprimanded by Jia Mu, and when she went back, she lost her temper and was angry for a long time.The serving women and maids also trembled for a long time.Finally, Jia Baoyu came to pay his respects in the afternoon, and his complexion looked better.Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu didn't know what was good or bad, so he asked about Lin Daiyu again, and asked when Lin Daiyu could come to her home, and whether she would leave when she came.
Not to mention that he misses Sister Lin very much, Sister Lin is the most peerless and enchanting, like an orchid in an empty valley, elegant and refined, like a lotus emerging from water, naturally carved and decorated.None of the older sisters in the family can match Sister Lin, not even Sister Bao who looks like a peony.
It reminded him of a poem by the ancients: If the West Lake is compared to Xizi, heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable.
Although he has never seen the West Lake, it is even more impossible to see how beautiful Xi Shi is.He thought, he must be like Sister Lin, fresh and refined, crystal clear and elegant, so as to live up to the reputation for thousands of years.In the end, he hugged Wang's arm and acted like a baby, twisting like a twist, "Good lady, please send someone to pick up Sister Lin. As long as Sister Lin is willing to come, I am willing to do anything, even if I read four books every day." What about the Five Classics?"
Jia Baoyu's words successfully angered Wang again. She lost her temper and would reprimand Jia Baoyu angrily.Don't look at Jia Baoyu acting capriciously in front of Jia Mu and Wang Shi all day long, and even messing around occasionally, but Wang Shi was really angry, and he was terribly afraid. Just bow your head and listen to the training.
Coincidentally, at this time a little maid came in with tea, and seeing Jia Baoyu standing with his arms tied, Wang was cursing like a black-eyed chicken, and a lot of porcelain was broken on the ground.The little maid was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, she didn't dare to go in, and she didn't dare to back out.
When Wang saw it, she scolded the little girl: "What are you doing standing there, there is a tiger in this room, it can eat you!"
The little servant girl trembled from the rough voice, the tray was not stable, the tea bowl tilted down, fell to the ground with a "crack" and shattered.Not caring about the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, the little maid hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright, and the broken porcelain pieces pierced into her flesh only to feel the excruciating pain, as if being skinned alive.Fearful and in pain, the little girl was crying like rain, kowtowed her head to the ground, blood was streaming from her forehead, but she couldn't feel the pain, she cried out: "Madam, please forgive this slave girl..."
The veins on Wang's forehead were throbbing with anger, and he pointed at the little maid and scolded: "What are you, so you can come in and bring tea and water? The tea bowl you broke, even if you sell it ten times, it won't be worth it! Today If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't be more arrogant in the future!"
While talking, he pulled out a hairpin from his head and stabbed it fiercely in the little girl's hand.
"This cheap hoof can't even hold a teacup, what do you want it to do, just smash it to pieces!"
The hairpin fell down like raindrops, the little girl screamed in pain, and Wang ordered someone to gag her.The little maid was crying like pear blossoms with rain, what a grievance, Wang thought that Jia Baoyu was seduced by such a delicate and weak little girl, and the master, who was used to such cheap hoofs, became more and more angry , ruthlessly stabbed.I didn't put down the hairpin until I lost the strength to tie it.
The little girl was already paralyzed on the ground and couldn't even move, she was exhaling more air than inhaling.
Mrs. Wang called her maid and ordered her to say, "Bitch! Take her to the servant's room and starve her for two days. She is not allowed to give her water or food, and she is not allowed to ask for medicine. In my ears," she glanced at the bloody girl lying on the ground with her glasses, and snorted coldly, "This is her fate! Anyone who chews their tongues outside will also suffer the same fate!"
"Do you understand everything?" She glanced at the maids.
"I understand!"
Whoever the maids dare to contradict, the bloody example is right in front of them.
"Retire!" Wang said as if amnesty.
The maids retreated hurriedly, although it was not good to rush around in an unruly way, but the speed under their feet was extremely fast, much faster than before.Seeing that they were all about to leave, Mrs. Wang called out: "Jin Chuan'er stay!"
Jin Chuan had no choice but to stand still, screaming in his heart that it was not good, seeing that Wang Shi looked at her in a bad way, so he had to kneel down.
"You really know how to please!"
Jin Chuan endured the severe pain in his legs, and said in fear, "Madam, this servant can't bear it..."
"What can you not afford? Knowing that I am angry, you refused to even enter my door, and sent a little girl to fool you. Do you think I am an idiot?" The little girl who came in to serve tea looked at her face, It seemed that the big girls were even angry with her, so they randomly found a little girl to come over and top the tank.She was used to these methods when she was a girl, these little hooves thought they were so clever!
When she is really easy to fool!
In the past, when she didn't have seizures, she just turned a blind eye.
In the end, Jin Chuan was also slapped several times by Wang, and was fined to work as a girl for a month.
There is a kind of person in this world who, when they are unhappy, hope that everyone else will live worse than her.If I suffer a little bit and feel wronged, I hope that everyone in the world will also live in dire straits.If you can't pass your pain on to everyone, you can only pass it on to those around you, take pleasure in bullying the weak, and typically base your happiness on the pain of others.
And these people can always find someone to bully, the master bullies the maid, the powerful bullies the powerless, the powerful bullies the weak, the elders teach the juniors, the mistress takes advantage of the concubines, etc.Those who are really in a low position can't find anyone to bully them, so they transfer all their dissatisfaction and resentment to small animals such as cats and dogs.
Wang is such a person.
After venting, she felt better. Although she was still angry, she didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jia Baoyu sneaked out early and went to play with his sister Bao.
Wang was so angry that she felt dizzy and her vision blurred.She hurriedly went to the Buddhist altar and recited the scriptures several times, seeking comfort in her heart, then she leaned on the bed and ordered Caiyun and the two little maids to beat their legs.Only then did she feel that her head was not so dizzy, but after a short rest, it was already dinner time, and the girl could remind her to serve the old lady for dinner.
Mrs. Wang was very angry, but she had to go.As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy for a while, his eyes were dark, and his body swayed for a while.Caiyun said worriedly: "If the wife is not feeling well, tell the old lady that she is sick, and don't go today."
Mrs. Wang was reprimanded by Jia Mu today, and she doesn't want to feel uncomfortable at the moment.
But before she could speak, a little girl in Jia Mu's room said, "The old lady has something to say to the wife, please go, the old lady just asked."
Wang was full of reluctance, so she had no choice but to change her clothes and tidy up her hair, and went with the maid's hand.
The maids in Jia Mu's room had already set the meal, and Jia Mu sat with a straight face without moving her chopsticks.Mrs. Wang went up to invite Ann, and after cleaning her hands, she took chopsticks and served dishes.I couldn't help but feel sour for a while, thinking how delicate she was when she was a girl. The two of them came to this mansion to have children and had children. The room was taken away.The Xing family came from a small family and was still a house filler. Why should she rely on the fact that she is the eldest daughter-in-law and that the first master is tougher and more capable than the second master?
There is also Brother Feng, who is also not familiar with her. How did I treat her back then?How did he stop Lian'er from being divorced when the old man asked Lian'er to divorce her?Now she is lucky, seeing that the Xing family has gained power, she forgot about her own aunt and went to flatter the Xing family.
Hmph, let you run rampant for a few days first, and wait until my Yuanchun becomes a concubine, and see if I don't let you go around without food!
Mother Jia said in a roundabout way: "People say that the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and that one generation is stronger than the next. Waiting outside the door, followed by serving from morning to night, and when I returned to the room at night, my legs were swollen."
She smiled and said: "I am not the kind of mean and ungrateful mother-in-law, and we are not the kind of small family who can't afford girls, so we have to work harder as daughter-in-laws. It is enough to have girls to serve me, You should do whatever you want, and you don’t have to worry about me.”
This can be said to be a slap in the face of Wang, and when Wang put it down, he knelt down to plead guilty, and Jia Mu took the opportunity to beat him again.
"Among so many grandchildren, Baoyu is the only one I love. In the future, my ladder will be left to him. This huge family business must be inherited by him. I also don't like Xing Even if she comes to serve me, I won't allow her to serve me. You are different from her, you are born as a young lady, you have a certain amount of advances and retreats, and you are courteous."
Mrs. Wang didn't dare to speak, she just lowered her head and listened.My head was still dizzy for a while, so I had to endure it.
Mother Jia asked her many more words, just to make her understand the words, and she mainly warned Daiyu tomorrow that she would not be allowed to cry and make a sad face. Let Daiyu stay away from the second room and get close to the first room instead.He also said that Lin Ruhai's coming to Beijing this time, according to reliable sources, the Holy Majesty will entrust him with important tasks.His official position was not low, and if he raised it a little bit, he would be a first- and second-rank court official. Winning over the Lin family would be of great benefit to Baoyu's future in the future.
Jia's mother believed that Jia Amnesty was an unfaithful and unfilial person, and Xing's family was even more afraid that the world would not be chaotic.If the granddaughter is instigated by them, she will inevitably be alienated from herself.To be alienated from oneself is to be alienated from the second room, which is to be alienated from Baoyu.Baoyu is not good at studying, and she is reluctant to bear that hardship.Daiyu is now more than 11 years old, so it can be said that she is married. She wholeheartedly wants to make an engagement for Baoyu and Daiyu. Since she can always be close to her granddaughter, Lin Ruhai can also promote Baoyu, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
-
Zhou Hang was dragged out by Li Xu under the pretext of being summoned by the sage, and he was depressed not to be with Daiyu.However, Li Xu left him to find Mr. Sang again. Zhou Hang didn't have any friendship with Mr. Sang, and he didn't want to waste his good time for irrelevant people, so he found a restaurant to sit in while complaining.
He thought that if he knew that he would not be able to say a few words when he met Daiyu, he would not be so active in going to the Lin residence to pick her up.
They were all lied to by Li Xu, saying that Lin Ruhai's eyeliner is everywhere in the Lin Mansion, so there is nothing to say.Prince Jing's Mansion was different, Lin Ruhai, who had become a demon to protect his daughter, was not there anyway, so he could say whatever he wanted, and he could have lunch with Daiyu.
It was the condition of eating lunch that made him fascinated.
Although she spends a lot of time with Daiyu, it is very rare for her to have dinner with Daiyu in the form of a human body.Lin Ruhai took strict precautions against this matter on the grounds that men and women had different seats at the age of seven.
did not expect……
Zhou Hang spat, being tricked by that old fellow!
Zhou Hang was very depressed.
Depressed, Zhou Hang drank three glasses of wine in a row, and vaguely heard a few people discussing in the private room next door.
They were all talking about poetry, songs, Fu, Four Books and Five Classics, presumably it was a gathering of some literati.First, couplet poems and couplet poems. As for diction, Zhou Hang's level of a science student is not very good.To say it is a poem is to give them face. To put it bluntly, it can only be regarded as a jingle.After linking the poems, I compared them with allusions. The sourness is all over the place, but it's just some sour literati who have nothing to do and drop their book bags. It's nothing unusual.
Curling his lips, Zhou Hang planned to shield his eyes and ears from listening to their unashamed compliments.
At this time, the other party suddenly changed the subject.
"Everyone, where can I go for fun later?"
One said, "How about playing chess?"
Everyone said: "No, no, what's the point of playing chess every day?"
"What about outing?"
"Hey, the leaves are all gone, and the grass is all withered and yellow, how green is there to tread on?"
"Then, riding a horse?"
"Riding a horse is the behavior of a martial artist, and there are so many indecent movements, how can it be done by a literati?"
I talked about a few more plans, but someone always said something was wrong.In the end, the topic turned to whose yard is better in Beijing and whose girl is beautiful.Another person mentioned Lin Ruhai's Lin Mansion, saying that although his courtyard was not the largest in the capital, it was more elegant than many dukes' homes.
One person said: "If you want to know what the Lin family is like, just ask brother Cun Zhou."
The person who spoke before said in a puzzled tone: "Could it be that... Brother Cunzhou has some relationship with this lord who is now full of sacred favor?"
Hearing this Zhou Hang didn't feel anything wrong, only heard the next person say: "You don't know, this Master Lin is Brother Cun Zhou's sister-in-law."
"Oh, there is such a thing! Brother Cunzhou, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Only then did Zhou Hang realize that Cunzhou was Jia Zheng's name. the y
"Those who don't know are not guilty. What's the matter?" Jia Zheng also spoke up.
Then someone made a fuss asking Jia Zheng to introduce him one or two days, and then he talked about the Lin family. He couldn't help sighing, saying that Mr. Lin is a rare good official who is well-versed in classics and history, good at writing and good at writing, and considerate of the people. He looked at it differently, which was beyond their reach.In the end, I said it was a pity... It's a pity that after living most of my life, my concubine had two bedrooms, and I didn't have a son to inherit the family business, so what if I have made great achievements?
These people finally found a sense of superiority and talked for a while.
Zhou Hang frowned.He wanted to hear what else these people could tell about the Lin family.It's nothing important to say, it's nothing more than a group of petty officials who have no talent, no strong relationship, and are unwilling to work hard.
Unknowingly, the topic turned to the topic of actor fans.
Jia Zheng usually looks serious, but he didn't expect to talk about these topics in a straight-forward manner. He deserves the nickname "false seriousness" given to him by later generations.I just don't know if people in Jia's mansion know that prudence is like this outside, and they should really promote it to him.
Zhou Hang was not interested in listening to the affairs of these frustrated old guys, so he blocked his eyes and ears, while concentrating on drinking, he made a rough summoning talisman and called the big black cat Yuball over.
The fish ball is nourished by the spiritual spring water, and its IQ is almost comparable to that of human beings. The lighter of the restaurant does not allow it to come in, and it knows how to sneak in.Yuball's ability to mobilize other cats has also been strengthened a lot, and Zhou Hang just sent it to Jia's mansion to inquire about news.Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu are going to visit Jia's house tomorrow, so they need to know the situation in advance.
-
In the evening, Zhou Hang slipped into Lin's mansion again and told Daiyu the news he had inquired about today.
Knowing that Jia Baoyu provoked Wang's anger to attack the servant girl, and he ran away in a hurry, Daiyu said: "This is what he did. It's not like there are such things in the past, but everyone is protective. Baoyu, I tried my best to excuse him. Afterwards, he shed a few tears and apologized in a humble way, which is a good talk for a romantic man who loves girls."
This is how Jia Baoyu's reputation for caring for girls came about, and Zhou Hang deeply despised it.
Daiyu said: "If my predictions are correct, things like this will happen again in the future. Alas... I just feel sorry for those girls who can't see clearly. It's true that Jia Baoyu loves girls so much. In fact, it's just superficial. , really counting, he only cares about his own feelings, and others have to stay behind. Even if the maid died, Jia Baoyu would just cry, and what to do in the future is what to do."
Zhou Hang said: "Jia Baoyuguo cried a lot, after hearing about the tragic situation of the little girl."
"Then did he go to see the little girl and beg her for mercy?"
Zhou Hang shook his head: "Never."
These Daiyu also thought of it. In the final analysis, Jia Baoyu is not a responsible person.He is just a willful child who has not yet grown up. If he gets into trouble, he will only be afraid, will only escape, will only shirk responsibility, and protect himself first.Don't expect him to bear any consequences, because someone else will bear it for him.Such a person, if there are no major changes in this life, I am afraid that this will be the case for the rest of his life.
I thought he was a good person before, but it was just that I grew up in Jia's mansion and never saw the outside world.
From now on, I will never be fooled by such a dude again.
"Second Aunt seems to be really anxious, and she did such a thing of abusing her servants. If it gets out, the good reputation she has managed for decades will be ruined." Daiyu sighed faintly, "What is the grandmother?" manner?"
Zhou Hang thought that although Jia's mother was looking forward to her passing, she was just trying to win her over, so as to win over Lin Ruhai.Daiyu was a little disappointed, her grandmother really loved her, although this love was mixed with other things, but at least there was a bit of sincerity, and it brought some comfort to her who lost her mother when she was young.
Daiyu shook her head and asked her eldest aunt and several cousins.Zhou Hang told her that the eldest wife of Jia's family, Mrs. Xing, was doing well recently, the two households separated, and the eldest household lived in Rongxi Hall.The old lady still lived in the original courtyard, and Jia She had originally planned to vacate his former residence, the old garden on the east side of Rongguo Mansion, for Jia Zheng and his wife to live in.But Jia Zheng and his wife hated the damp and cramped house there, and refused to live in it.The old lady forced Jia Amnesty to vacate a yard in the Lixiang Garden in the mansion for Jia Zheng and his wife to live in.
Wang's younger sister, Xue Wang, brought her son and daughter with her family to the capital, and she also lived in Rongguo Mansion before.
After Jia Amnesty made a fuss about separating the families, Xue's mother and son had no place to live, so they moved to the old garden to the east for a temporary stay.They also have a house in Beijing, and while staying in Jia's house, they send people to clean their house.I don't know whether it is the official language of the trust, or if someone has really sent someone to clean it.Anyway, Xue's family has lived in Jia's mansion for more than half a year, and they haven't moved out yet.
Mrs. Xing is now living in Rongxi Hall with her concubine daughter Yingchun. Mother Jia doesn't like her. It can be said that she is annoyed when she sees her. Not seeing is pure.
Xing is happy to be at leisure, chatting and laughing with the maids on weekdays, watching Yingchun do needlework, and the small life is not bad.
With the power in her hands, she became more assertive in her speech, and her waist straightened, and she was no longer as petty as before.Once upon a time, when she met Wang Xifeng, she felt ashamed that she came from a small family, so she didn't dare to say anything harsh to Miss Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng also looked down on her, and now Wang Xifeng treats her kindly and filially.
After living most of her life, Xing finally felt elated.
The elated Xing thought that she also wanted to be a well-educated and reasonable wife, and she couldn't be like before.
Jia Lian was already married, and was taught by the master himself, so she didn't need to worry about it as a woman.She thought, she must raise Yingchun well, no matter what, she is the master's flesh and blood, and she is also her daughter in name.When she gets married in the future, people will think that she has taught her how to behave in her husband's family.If he behaves decently, he will be praised by others; if he behaves inappropriately, he will criticize himself behind the scenes without saying anything.
Therefore, the Xing family has nothing to do, so how to raise Yingchun is on the agenda.
Although Yingchun is soft-tempered, she is not stupid, and she can naturally sense Xing's attitude towards her.
Xing was also very happy to see that Yingchun was willing to get close to her, instead of calling her mother with her head lowered when they met, as if she was reluctant.She has no children herself, so she naturally hopes that these nominal children can get close to her.
It's a pity that no one was willing to get close to her before, that's why she was anxious all day long, always thinking of keeping money by her side, otherwise the evening scene must be very bleak.Seeing that Yingchun would call her mother affectionately every time she saw her, she also felt that maybe even if she didn't have money, when she was old, this girl would not turn a blind eye to her.
After hearing about Xing's situation, Daiyu said, "It would be a blessing if the eldest aunt can really figure it out."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Hang did not see him talking.Daiyu looked over and saw that Zhou Hang was sitting there in a daze, as if thinking about something, so she asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Uh..." Zhou Hang was stunned for a moment, "It's nothing, I was just going to tell you about Xue Baochai. After you left, Jia Baoyu walked closest to Xue Baochai, and all day long sisters, elder sisters, and younger sisters followed each other, and they were all in a hurry. Put my own sister in the back of my mind."
Daiyu said: "This is definitely not what you think!"
"Uh..." Zhou Hang choked for a moment, but what he was thinking of was not Xue Baochai, but the conversation between Jia Zheng and those petty officials in the restaurant today.It's just that there are a lot of indecent things in those people's conversations, which I absolutely can't tell Daiyu at the moment.
Just as she didn't know how to answer, Daiyu said again: "Forget it, you don't have to say it if you don't want to."
She didn't know much about Xue Baochai and Daiyu, but she didn't need to know much either.Those are relatives of Jia's family and not hers, if she doesn't meet her then it's fine, even if she does, it's just to say hello and exchange a few words, there's no need to care too much.
After the space was upgraded, a gossip-shaped practice area appeared. It was not accurate to say that it was a practice area.It should be said that it is a self-contained small world, in which the time flow cannot be adjusted at will.In other words, it is possible to improve your cultivation in a short period of time in the future without using any pills or natural treasures.
For example, the time flow rate between the small world and the outside can be adjusted to ten to one, that is to say, if you practice for ten days in the small world, only one day will pass outside.Zhou Hang liked this training artifact very much, and whenever he had time, he hid in the small world to practice, in the euphemistic name of wanting to strengthen his own strength as soon as possible so as to protect Daiyu.
In fact, he was unwilling to keep up with Daiyu in his own realm, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Talent is not enough, work hard to make up.
Without the innate talent of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, Zhou Hang can only take the method of making up for one's weakness with hard work.
Fortunately, the results were not bad. After a night of devil-like training, Zhou Xiaomao's cultivation has improved a lot.It's a pity that the current maximum time flow rate that Small World can set is twenty to one, otherwise he will definitely be able to break through the peak of Qi refining and reach Daiyu's level.
The aftereffect of adjusting to the maximum time flow rate is a burst of dizziness after coming out of the small world.
It's the kind of dizziness when you have diarrhea until you collapse, and you feel dizzy and dizzy when you just think about it.Don't ask Zhou Hang why he gave such a vulgar example, because once he had acute gastroenteritis, and after two days of vomiting and diarrhea, he laughed from the toilet. This is the feeling that he will never forget for the rest of his life.
After soaking in Lingquan Lake for a while, Zhou Hang regained his spirit of writing.
He turned into a kitten, talking to Daiyu while paddling.
"Yu'er, I'm worried, what if someone from Jia's mansion bullies you, I'll go with you."
"Nonsense, you are a man, how can you come with me?"
"But I don't trust you. It's not like you don't know that Mrs. Wang is a woman with a heart like a snake."
"I'm going to visit my grandmother, and then I'll go to my aunt's place. I just don't want to get along with her."
"That doesn't work either." Zhou Hang said, "Ms. Wang has lost her mind and can do anything. I turned into a cat body, just like before, and no one will doubt anything."
"But the girls all know that Pang Pang is no longer here, so if you appear in front of everyone again, won't it be suspicious?"
Zhou Hang said confidently: "It's nothing. You forgot that I'm already at the peak of Qi refining? I've accumulated mana for a long time and I'm not willing to use it. I've been waiting for this time. Although the peak of Qi refining can't be done What a profound illusion, it’s okay to camouflage the skin and simply change the shape of the body. Although there are some flaws, it’s enough to fool the ordinary people outside. I turned into a fish ball and let the fish ball hide in the space. It has been soaking in the spiritual spring water all day long, and it just took the opportunity to fulfill its wish, killing two birds with one stone."
Daiyu thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this. With Zhou Hang around, it would be more convenient to pick and place things from the space.
The discussion has been made, and Zhou Hang will not have to take advantage of the darkness to go back to the palace this night.
When Zijuan came in to wait for Daiyu to wash, Zhou Hang's transfigured big black cat lay on the bed and couldn't get up.Zijuan smiled and went to grab the big black cat, but was almost scratched by the latter's paw.Zijuan didn't dare to catch any more, frowned and said, "It's strange, Yu Wan has such a temper today!"
Daiyu said: "Leave him alone! Last night he was gluttonous and stuffed his intestines. He made a fuss in the middle of the night and pestered me to rub his stomach. It's better now. He hasn't recovered yet."
"Why doesn't the girl call someone? I'm afraid you didn't sleep much this night."
"I saw that you were all sound asleep, so I didn't call you. I was the only one who was disturbed by his uneasiness. Why bother making everyone uneasy?"
Zijuan said: "Why do you say that, girl? This is our duty as servants. It is our fault for not serving a good girl. If the master asks, we have nothing to say."
Daiyu said: "I know you are all good girls, don't worry, if Daddy asks me, I will not make you feel wronged."
In general big families, there are old mothers and maids in the room of the young master, so that they can take care of them nearby.Once the master wants tea and water in the evening, it will be delivered in time.When Daiyu lived in Jia's mansion, there were maids and women who went to night.Since arriving in the Lin Mansion, everything is up to him, so he omitted this item.It is for the convenience when she is alone with Zhou Hang at night, so that she will not be disturbed
But Zijuan didn't know, and always felt that Daiyu had been wronged by this.
Then at this opportunity, she made a roundabout proposal to add Daiyu as a night maid, but was rejected by Daiyu again.
Zicuckoo had to give up.
After late breakfast, Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai drove to Rongguo Mansion in a carriage.The father and daughter were sitting together in a carriage, Lin Ruhai stared at the big black cat in Daiyu's hand, with a warm smile in his eyes, like the breeze blowing across the river in March in spring, warm and enveloping the river water cool feeling.
Daiyu felt a little guilty, and always felt that she and Zhou Hang seemed to have nothing to hide in front of her father.
"It's called... fish ball, right?" Lin Ruhai asked.
"Yes." Daiyu nodded.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, the fish balls are much thinner..."
Daiyu: "..." Daddy, you are too discerning, and my daughter is terrified.
"It's time to fix it," Lin Ruhai smiled and twirled his beard, "I visited some old friends yesterday, and a colleague gave me some fresh sea bass. I remember that your cats like to eat fish. You sent it, but you forgot. Wait until you go back, let the kitchen stew it when you get back, and make up for the fish balls!"
So, Dad, you didn't see it, did you?Just now thinking about this, Lin Ruhai said again: "I remember that Yu Wan's ears were erect and high, but today they are slightly bent down."
Daiyu again used the excuse that yesterday she was gluttonous and had a bad stomach and made a fuss all night.
"After tossing all night, he must be a little out of spirit at the moment."
Lin Ruhai didn't ask any more questions, and before he knew it, the carriage had entered Ningrong Street.
With Jia Amnesty absent, Xing, as the eldest son-in-law of the eldest son, can be considered a decent mistress.Xing sent someone to open the side door to welcome her, and she herself went to the second door herself.Daiyu got down from the carriage, Xing Shi met Lin Ruhai, and Daiyu also paid homage to Xing Shi.
Yingchun followed behind her, seeing Daiyu, Yingchun's eyes were already red, she quietly moved to Daiyu's side, and tugged at her sleeve.
"Sister Lin, are you okay?"
The author has something to say:
Dear ones, I am sorry, the name of Li Xu’s son was written wrong in the last chapter. I originally thought of Li Yu, the domain of the territory, and wrote it as this “Yu”. Sorry, I will change it later.
In addition, this article was renamed: Daiyu of the Red Chamber Raised a Cat.
Finally, I would like to thank the little angel Ayan 9999 for mine.
Thank you dear little angel lovejessica^o^, Schrödinger raised meow (●^o^●), the nutrient solution irrigated by the memory of the Seine River, love you guys ^3^
A servant girl next to her smiled and said, "Wangfei is looking for Mrs. Zhang? She has already left."
It was the concubine's confidant girl named Zhu'er who spoke.The sister-in-law Zhang who left was originally the dowry girl of the princess, and later married a steward of the palace, and she is still serving in front of the princess, and she is also a confidant.The concubine is thirty-eight this year, because she is well maintained, she doesn't look like a 38-year-old, she is younger than others who are thirty.
She married into Prince Jing's Mansion at the age of 16, and gave birth to her son at the age of 20, who is now the eldest son Li Yu.Many of the eight maids who were dowry as dowry back then became overwhelmed after entering the palace, and some even tried to seduce the prince, and were kicked out by her, and married far away.Later, there were only two who served her wholeheartedly and faithfully, and one of them died of illness a few years ago, and now this is the only one left.
Zhu'er was added later, she was only 15 years old, and she was a competent person trained and trained by the princess.
The concubine said to Zhu'er: "I suddenly remembered that there is one thing I haven't ordered. I think she hasn't gone far, so go and call her back."
Zhu'er agreed and went, and led Mrs. Zhang in after a while.The princess had already sat up straight, drinking tea with a teacup in her hand.Zhu'er saluted and said that Mrs. Zhang had come.Sister-in-law Zhang also saluted and greeted Ann with a smile on her face.
Only then did the concubine raise her head slightly, and glanced at them indifferently, "Pearl goes down, Haitang stays."
Haitang is the name that Zhang's sister-in-law used to serve as a maid for the princess.Although she is married now, the princess still likes to call her by her former name.She was sold as a maid when she was four or five years old. Her biological parents don't remember much, and she doesn't know her surname.The man she married was surnamed Zhang, so everyone called her eldest sister-in-law.
Since she got married, no one called her by that name except the concubine.
"What else does the princess want my servants to do?" Sister-in-law Zhang stepped forward, bowed and laughed.
"This way..." The concubine motioned for Zhang's sister-in-law to come forward, and whispered, "You go to the Shou'an Hou's mansion and tell the marquis, and focus on finding out if the prince has any affairs outside?" Thinking of the man named Zhou Hang , the face is somewhat similar to the prince, she suspects that he is the prince's illegitimate son outside.Otherwise, why does the prince care so much about this wild boy who dare not even reveal his identity?
The Marquis of Shou'an is her natal family, and the current Marquis of Shou'an is her elder brother.
Mrs. Zhang nodded knowingly, "Princess, don't worry."
But Daiyu walked around Cuiyuxuan and sat down to rest in the main room.Several maidservants sent by the princess successively brought many snacks, candied fruit, preserved fruit and other things for her to eat.Daiyu observed carefully, all the maids in the palace were really strict and disciplined, incomparable with other places, they seemed to have been trained to speak and walk, and they were also very considerate in taking care of others.
But after all, she is not at ease in her own home, leaning on a big lead pillow, Lin Daiyu thought.
Although the princess is very amiable and her words are full of love, it always makes people feel alienated.How should I put it, it is the attitude of receiving guests that makes people feel close.Unlike the adoptive father, although he speaks directly, he is very heartwarming. It is a true sincere heart, which makes people feel close to him naturally.
Before coming here, Daiyu felt that her adoptive father and princess must be very affectionate, otherwise, her foster father would be about 40 years old, but there is only one princess in the inner house, not even a side concubine or concubine.
But when I arrived at the palace, it didn't look like it.
Daiyu is sensitive, she observes things meticulously, and rarely makes mistakes.At least, from the communication between the prince and the princess, she didn't see any emotional fluctuations that should exist between a loving couple.
A truly loving person doesn't do that.
In the second half of the afternoon, Daiyu proposed to take her leave and go home.
The concubine kept her very much, saying that Cuiyuxuan had been cleaned a month ago and was just waiting for her to come, at least stay for two days before leaving, this is what the prince meant.Daiyu said: "Princess loves to keep me for two more days. I shouldn't have resigned. I just came to Beijing. Many relatives haven't visited yet. One is not good to be late, and the other is that people don't say anything about it, but they don't like it in their hearts." It's time to blame. Besides, this trip was in a hurry, and I didn't bring a change of clothes. It won't be too late to visit my adoptive father and the princess after everything is settled, and the princess won't think the little girl is troublesome at that time."
The concubine smiled and said: "You can talk, this child. Well, if that's the case, I won't keep you. Zhu'er, you follow yourself, send your Miss Lin to the second gate and come back!"
As he said that, he took off a crystal clear jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on Daiyu's wrist, "This was given to me by the Queen Mother when I was born in Yu'er. I have worn it for more than ten years and never left it. Today I gave it to you."
Daiyu was about to fade away: "Princess, this is impossible!"
The concubine held her hand, not letting her fade away: "Nothing, you are the daughter recognized by the prince, and you are also my daughter. I treat you the same as Yu'er. If you have something good, don't give it to your daughter. , who will you give it back to? If you refuse to accept it, I won’t be happy.”
Daiyu had no choice but to accept it, "That's it...thank you, Princess."
"Why is it still called Wangfei, it should be called foster mother."
Zhu'er has directed several little girls to carry a small sedan chair, the princess personally sent Daiyu to the sedan chair, and asked people to carry it slowly, the girl is weak, so don't make people feel uncomfortable.
Back home, Daiyu ordered someone to move the imperial concubine chair under the crabapple tree in the yard.She leaned on the imperial concubine chair, looking at the emerald green bracelet against the afterglow of the setting sun in the west.Produced by the royal family, the appearance is naturally excellent.Jade raises people, big families, both men and women, like to wear jade.
But this jade bracelet is not suitable for Daiyu to wear.
The reason is too big...
Daiyu is only over 11 years old, and she is slender than ordinary people, and her wrists are naturally thinner than normal eleven or twelve-year-old girls.Wearing this jade bracelet on her hand, it is like a child stealing an adult's shoes, it is very funny.As long as you flick your wrist a little, or if you accidentally walk, the jade bracelet will fall off.
Although Daiyu often wears jade pendants, jade pendants, jade hairpins, jade rings and the like, she never wears bracelets, which make her wrists uncomfortable.Especially when writing and drawing, the hands tend to tremble after a long time.
But after all, it was given by the princess, or something given by the queen mother. If you don't wear it, if you hear it in her ears, you will feel arrogant.
Forget it, I'll only wear it when I go to Prince Jing's mansion in the future.
-
But it is said that Mrs. Wang was reprimanded by Jia Mu, and when she went back, she lost her temper and was angry for a long time.The serving women and maids also trembled for a long time.Finally, Jia Baoyu came to pay his respects in the afternoon, and his complexion looked better.Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu didn't know what was good or bad, so he asked about Lin Daiyu again, and asked when Lin Daiyu could come to her home, and whether she would leave when she came.
Not to mention that he misses Sister Lin very much, Sister Lin is the most peerless and enchanting, like an orchid in an empty valley, elegant and refined, like a lotus emerging from water, naturally carved and decorated.None of the older sisters in the family can match Sister Lin, not even Sister Bao who looks like a peony.
It reminded him of a poem by the ancients: If the West Lake is compared to Xizi, heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable.
Although he has never seen the West Lake, it is even more impossible to see how beautiful Xi Shi is.He thought, he must be like Sister Lin, fresh and refined, crystal clear and elegant, so as to live up to the reputation for thousands of years.In the end, he hugged Wang's arm and acted like a baby, twisting like a twist, "Good lady, please send someone to pick up Sister Lin. As long as Sister Lin is willing to come, I am willing to do anything, even if I read four books every day." What about the Five Classics?"
Jia Baoyu's words successfully angered Wang again. She lost her temper and would reprimand Jia Baoyu angrily.Don't look at Jia Baoyu acting capriciously in front of Jia Mu and Wang Shi all day long, and even messing around occasionally, but Wang Shi was really angry, and he was terribly afraid. Just bow your head and listen to the training.
Coincidentally, at this time a little maid came in with tea, and seeing Jia Baoyu standing with his arms tied, Wang was cursing like a black-eyed chicken, and a lot of porcelain was broken on the ground.The little maid was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, she didn't dare to go in, and she didn't dare to back out.
When Wang saw it, she scolded the little girl: "What are you doing standing there, there is a tiger in this room, it can eat you!"
The little servant girl trembled from the rough voice, the tray was not stable, the tea bowl tilted down, fell to the ground with a "crack" and shattered.Not caring about the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, the little maid hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright, and the broken porcelain pieces pierced into her flesh only to feel the excruciating pain, as if being skinned alive.Fearful and in pain, the little girl was crying like rain, kowtowed her head to the ground, blood was streaming from her forehead, but she couldn't feel the pain, she cried out: "Madam, please forgive this slave girl..."
The veins on Wang's forehead were throbbing with anger, and he pointed at the little maid and scolded: "What are you, so you can come in and bring tea and water? The tea bowl you broke, even if you sell it ten times, it won't be worth it! Today If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't be more arrogant in the future!"
While talking, he pulled out a hairpin from his head and stabbed it fiercely in the little girl's hand.
"This cheap hoof can't even hold a teacup, what do you want it to do, just smash it to pieces!"
The hairpin fell down like raindrops, the little girl screamed in pain, and Wang ordered someone to gag her.The little maid was crying like pear blossoms with rain, what a grievance, Wang thought that Jia Baoyu was seduced by such a delicate and weak little girl, and the master, who was used to such cheap hoofs, became more and more angry , ruthlessly stabbed.I didn't put down the hairpin until I lost the strength to tie it.
The little girl was already paralyzed on the ground and couldn't even move, she was exhaling more air than inhaling.
Mrs. Wang called her maid and ordered her to say, "Bitch! Take her to the servant's room and starve her for two days. She is not allowed to give her water or food, and she is not allowed to ask for medicine. In my ears," she glanced at the bloody girl lying on the ground with her glasses, and snorted coldly, "This is her fate! Anyone who chews their tongues outside will also suffer the same fate!"
"Do you understand everything?" She glanced at the maids.
"I understand!"
Whoever the maids dare to contradict, the bloody example is right in front of them.
"Retire!" Wang said as if amnesty.
The maids retreated hurriedly, although it was not good to rush around in an unruly way, but the speed under their feet was extremely fast, much faster than before.Seeing that they were all about to leave, Mrs. Wang called out: "Jin Chuan'er stay!"
Jin Chuan had no choice but to stand still, screaming in his heart that it was not good, seeing that Wang Shi looked at her in a bad way, so he had to kneel down.
"You really know how to please!"
Jin Chuan endured the severe pain in his legs, and said in fear, "Madam, this servant can't bear it..."
"What can you not afford? Knowing that I am angry, you refused to even enter my door, and sent a little girl to fool you. Do you think I am an idiot?" The little girl who came in to serve tea looked at her face, It seemed that the big girls were even angry with her, so they randomly found a little girl to come over and top the tank.She was used to these methods when she was a girl, these little hooves thought they were so clever!
When she is really easy to fool!
In the past, when she didn't have seizures, she just turned a blind eye.
In the end, Jin Chuan was also slapped several times by Wang, and was fined to work as a girl for a month.
There is a kind of person in this world who, when they are unhappy, hope that everyone else will live worse than her.If I suffer a little bit and feel wronged, I hope that everyone in the world will also live in dire straits.If you can't pass your pain on to everyone, you can only pass it on to those around you, take pleasure in bullying the weak, and typically base your happiness on the pain of others.
And these people can always find someone to bully, the master bullies the maid, the powerful bullies the powerless, the powerful bullies the weak, the elders teach the juniors, the mistress takes advantage of the concubines, etc.Those who are really in a low position can't find anyone to bully them, so they transfer all their dissatisfaction and resentment to small animals such as cats and dogs.
Wang is such a person.
After venting, she felt better. Although she was still angry, she didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jia Baoyu sneaked out early and went to play with his sister Bao.
Wang was so angry that she felt dizzy and her vision blurred.She hurriedly went to the Buddhist altar and recited the scriptures several times, seeking comfort in her heart, then she leaned on the bed and ordered Caiyun and the two little maids to beat their legs.Only then did she feel that her head was not so dizzy, but after a short rest, it was already dinner time, and the girl could remind her to serve the old lady for dinner.
Mrs. Wang was very angry, but she had to go.As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy for a while, his eyes were dark, and his body swayed for a while.Caiyun said worriedly: "If the wife is not feeling well, tell the old lady that she is sick, and don't go today."
Mrs. Wang was reprimanded by Jia Mu today, and she doesn't want to feel uncomfortable at the moment.
But before she could speak, a little girl in Jia Mu's room said, "The old lady has something to say to the wife, please go, the old lady just asked."
Wang was full of reluctance, so she had no choice but to change her clothes and tidy up her hair, and went with the maid's hand.
The maids in Jia Mu's room had already set the meal, and Jia Mu sat with a straight face without moving her chopsticks.Mrs. Wang went up to invite Ann, and after cleaning her hands, she took chopsticks and served dishes.I couldn't help but feel sour for a while, thinking how delicate she was when she was a girl. The two of them came to this mansion to have children and had children. The room was taken away.The Xing family came from a small family and was still a house filler. Why should she rely on the fact that she is the eldest daughter-in-law and that the first master is tougher and more capable than the second master?
There is also Brother Feng, who is also not familiar with her. How did I treat her back then?How did he stop Lian'er from being divorced when the old man asked Lian'er to divorce her?Now she is lucky, seeing that the Xing family has gained power, she forgot about her own aunt and went to flatter the Xing family.
Hmph, let you run rampant for a few days first, and wait until my Yuanchun becomes a concubine, and see if I don't let you go around without food!
Mother Jia said in a roundabout way: "People say that the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and that one generation is stronger than the next. Waiting outside the door, followed by serving from morning to night, and when I returned to the room at night, my legs were swollen."
She smiled and said: "I am not the kind of mean and ungrateful mother-in-law, and we are not the kind of small family who can't afford girls, so we have to work harder as daughter-in-laws. It is enough to have girls to serve me, You should do whatever you want, and you don’t have to worry about me.”
This can be said to be a slap in the face of Wang, and when Wang put it down, he knelt down to plead guilty, and Jia Mu took the opportunity to beat him again.
"Among so many grandchildren, Baoyu is the only one I love. In the future, my ladder will be left to him. This huge family business must be inherited by him. I also don't like Xing Even if she comes to serve me, I won't allow her to serve me. You are different from her, you are born as a young lady, you have a certain amount of advances and retreats, and you are courteous."
Mrs. Wang didn't dare to speak, she just lowered her head and listened.My head was still dizzy for a while, so I had to endure it.
Mother Jia asked her many more words, just to make her understand the words, and she mainly warned Daiyu tomorrow that she would not be allowed to cry and make a sad face. Let Daiyu stay away from the second room and get close to the first room instead.He also said that Lin Ruhai's coming to Beijing this time, according to reliable sources, the Holy Majesty will entrust him with important tasks.His official position was not low, and if he raised it a little bit, he would be a first- and second-rank court official. Winning over the Lin family would be of great benefit to Baoyu's future in the future.
Jia's mother believed that Jia Amnesty was an unfaithful and unfilial person, and Xing's family was even more afraid that the world would not be chaotic.If the granddaughter is instigated by them, she will inevitably be alienated from herself.To be alienated from oneself is to be alienated from the second room, which is to be alienated from Baoyu.Baoyu is not good at studying, and she is reluctant to bear that hardship.Daiyu is now more than 11 years old, so it can be said that she is married. She wholeheartedly wants to make an engagement for Baoyu and Daiyu. Since she can always be close to her granddaughter, Lin Ruhai can also promote Baoyu, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
-
Zhou Hang was dragged out by Li Xu under the pretext of being summoned by the sage, and he was depressed not to be with Daiyu.However, Li Xu left him to find Mr. Sang again. Zhou Hang didn't have any friendship with Mr. Sang, and he didn't want to waste his good time for irrelevant people, so he found a restaurant to sit in while complaining.
He thought that if he knew that he would not be able to say a few words when he met Daiyu, he would not be so active in going to the Lin residence to pick her up.
They were all lied to by Li Xu, saying that Lin Ruhai's eyeliner is everywhere in the Lin Mansion, so there is nothing to say.Prince Jing's Mansion was different, Lin Ruhai, who had become a demon to protect his daughter, was not there anyway, so he could say whatever he wanted, and he could have lunch with Daiyu.
It was the condition of eating lunch that made him fascinated.
Although she spends a lot of time with Daiyu, it is very rare for her to have dinner with Daiyu in the form of a human body.Lin Ruhai took strict precautions against this matter on the grounds that men and women had different seats at the age of seven.
did not expect……
Zhou Hang spat, being tricked by that old fellow!
Zhou Hang was very depressed.
Depressed, Zhou Hang drank three glasses of wine in a row, and vaguely heard a few people discussing in the private room next door.
They were all talking about poetry, songs, Fu, Four Books and Five Classics, presumably it was a gathering of some literati.First, couplet poems and couplet poems. As for diction, Zhou Hang's level of a science student is not very good.To say it is a poem is to give them face. To put it bluntly, it can only be regarded as a jingle.After linking the poems, I compared them with allusions. The sourness is all over the place, but it's just some sour literati who have nothing to do and drop their book bags. It's nothing unusual.
Curling his lips, Zhou Hang planned to shield his eyes and ears from listening to their unashamed compliments.
At this time, the other party suddenly changed the subject.
"Everyone, where can I go for fun later?"
One said, "How about playing chess?"
Everyone said: "No, no, what's the point of playing chess every day?"
"What about outing?"
"Hey, the leaves are all gone, and the grass is all withered and yellow, how green is there to tread on?"
"Then, riding a horse?"
"Riding a horse is the behavior of a martial artist, and there are so many indecent movements, how can it be done by a literati?"
I talked about a few more plans, but someone always said something was wrong.In the end, the topic turned to whose yard is better in Beijing and whose girl is beautiful.Another person mentioned Lin Ruhai's Lin Mansion, saying that although his courtyard was not the largest in the capital, it was more elegant than many dukes' homes.
One person said: "If you want to know what the Lin family is like, just ask brother Cun Zhou."
The person who spoke before said in a puzzled tone: "Could it be that... Brother Cunzhou has some relationship with this lord who is now full of sacred favor?"
Hearing this Zhou Hang didn't feel anything wrong, only heard the next person say: "You don't know, this Master Lin is Brother Cun Zhou's sister-in-law."
"Oh, there is such a thing! Brother Cunzhou, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Only then did Zhou Hang realize that Cunzhou was Jia Zheng's name. the y
"Those who don't know are not guilty. What's the matter?" Jia Zheng also spoke up.
Then someone made a fuss asking Jia Zheng to introduce him one or two days, and then he talked about the Lin family. He couldn't help sighing, saying that Mr. Lin is a rare good official who is well-versed in classics and history, good at writing and good at writing, and considerate of the people. He looked at it differently, which was beyond their reach.In the end, I said it was a pity... It's a pity that after living most of my life, my concubine had two bedrooms, and I didn't have a son to inherit the family business, so what if I have made great achievements?
These people finally found a sense of superiority and talked for a while.
Zhou Hang frowned.He wanted to hear what else these people could tell about the Lin family.It's nothing important to say, it's nothing more than a group of petty officials who have no talent, no strong relationship, and are unwilling to work hard.
Unknowingly, the topic turned to the topic of actor fans.
Jia Zheng usually looks serious, but he didn't expect to talk about these topics in a straight-forward manner. He deserves the nickname "false seriousness" given to him by later generations.I just don't know if people in Jia's mansion know that prudence is like this outside, and they should really promote it to him.
Zhou Hang was not interested in listening to the affairs of these frustrated old guys, so he blocked his eyes and ears, while concentrating on drinking, he made a rough summoning talisman and called the big black cat Yuball over.
The fish ball is nourished by the spiritual spring water, and its IQ is almost comparable to that of human beings. The lighter of the restaurant does not allow it to come in, and it knows how to sneak in.Yuball's ability to mobilize other cats has also been strengthened a lot, and Zhou Hang just sent it to Jia's mansion to inquire about news.Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu are going to visit Jia's house tomorrow, so they need to know the situation in advance.
-
In the evening, Zhou Hang slipped into Lin's mansion again and told Daiyu the news he had inquired about today.
Knowing that Jia Baoyu provoked Wang's anger to attack the servant girl, and he ran away in a hurry, Daiyu said: "This is what he did. It's not like there are such things in the past, but everyone is protective. Baoyu, I tried my best to excuse him. Afterwards, he shed a few tears and apologized in a humble way, which is a good talk for a romantic man who loves girls."
This is how Jia Baoyu's reputation for caring for girls came about, and Zhou Hang deeply despised it.
Daiyu said: "If my predictions are correct, things like this will happen again in the future. Alas... I just feel sorry for those girls who can't see clearly. It's true that Jia Baoyu loves girls so much. In fact, it's just superficial. , really counting, he only cares about his own feelings, and others have to stay behind. Even if the maid died, Jia Baoyu would just cry, and what to do in the future is what to do."
Zhou Hang said: "Jia Baoyuguo cried a lot, after hearing about the tragic situation of the little girl."
"Then did he go to see the little girl and beg her for mercy?"
Zhou Hang shook his head: "Never."
These Daiyu also thought of it. In the final analysis, Jia Baoyu is not a responsible person.He is just a willful child who has not yet grown up. If he gets into trouble, he will only be afraid, will only escape, will only shirk responsibility, and protect himself first.Don't expect him to bear any consequences, because someone else will bear it for him.Such a person, if there are no major changes in this life, I am afraid that this will be the case for the rest of his life.
I thought he was a good person before, but it was just that I grew up in Jia's mansion and never saw the outside world.
From now on, I will never be fooled by such a dude again.
"Second Aunt seems to be really anxious, and she did such a thing of abusing her servants. If it gets out, the good reputation she has managed for decades will be ruined." Daiyu sighed faintly, "What is the grandmother?" manner?"
Zhou Hang thought that although Jia's mother was looking forward to her passing, she was just trying to win her over, so as to win over Lin Ruhai.Daiyu was a little disappointed, her grandmother really loved her, although this love was mixed with other things, but at least there was a bit of sincerity, and it brought some comfort to her who lost her mother when she was young.
Daiyu shook her head and asked her eldest aunt and several cousins.Zhou Hang told her that the eldest wife of Jia's family, Mrs. Xing, was doing well recently, the two households separated, and the eldest household lived in Rongxi Hall.The old lady still lived in the original courtyard, and Jia She had originally planned to vacate his former residence, the old garden on the east side of Rongguo Mansion, for Jia Zheng and his wife to live in.But Jia Zheng and his wife hated the damp and cramped house there, and refused to live in it.The old lady forced Jia Amnesty to vacate a yard in the Lixiang Garden in the mansion for Jia Zheng and his wife to live in.
Wang's younger sister, Xue Wang, brought her son and daughter with her family to the capital, and she also lived in Rongguo Mansion before.
After Jia Amnesty made a fuss about separating the families, Xue's mother and son had no place to live, so they moved to the old garden to the east for a temporary stay.They also have a house in Beijing, and while staying in Jia's house, they send people to clean their house.I don't know whether it is the official language of the trust, or if someone has really sent someone to clean it.Anyway, Xue's family has lived in Jia's mansion for more than half a year, and they haven't moved out yet.
Mrs. Xing is now living in Rongxi Hall with her concubine daughter Yingchun. Mother Jia doesn't like her. It can be said that she is annoyed when she sees her. Not seeing is pure.
Xing is happy to be at leisure, chatting and laughing with the maids on weekdays, watching Yingchun do needlework, and the small life is not bad.
With the power in her hands, she became more assertive in her speech, and her waist straightened, and she was no longer as petty as before.Once upon a time, when she met Wang Xifeng, she felt ashamed that she came from a small family, so she didn't dare to say anything harsh to Miss Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng also looked down on her, and now Wang Xifeng treats her kindly and filially.
After living most of her life, Xing finally felt elated.
The elated Xing thought that she also wanted to be a well-educated and reasonable wife, and she couldn't be like before.
Jia Lian was already married, and was taught by the master himself, so she didn't need to worry about it as a woman.She thought, she must raise Yingchun well, no matter what, she is the master's flesh and blood, and she is also her daughter in name.When she gets married in the future, people will think that she has taught her how to behave in her husband's family.If he behaves decently, he will be praised by others; if he behaves inappropriately, he will criticize himself behind the scenes without saying anything.
Therefore, the Xing family has nothing to do, so how to raise Yingchun is on the agenda.
Although Yingchun is soft-tempered, she is not stupid, and she can naturally sense Xing's attitude towards her.
Xing was also very happy to see that Yingchun was willing to get close to her, instead of calling her mother with her head lowered when they met, as if she was reluctant.She has no children herself, so she naturally hopes that these nominal children can get close to her.
It's a pity that no one was willing to get close to her before, that's why she was anxious all day long, always thinking of keeping money by her side, otherwise the evening scene must be very bleak.Seeing that Yingchun would call her mother affectionately every time she saw her, she also felt that maybe even if she didn't have money, when she was old, this girl would not turn a blind eye to her.
After hearing about Xing's situation, Daiyu said, "It would be a blessing if the eldest aunt can really figure it out."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Hang did not see him talking.Daiyu looked over and saw that Zhou Hang was sitting there in a daze, as if thinking about something, so she asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Uh..." Zhou Hang was stunned for a moment, "It's nothing, I was just going to tell you about Xue Baochai. After you left, Jia Baoyu walked closest to Xue Baochai, and all day long sisters, elder sisters, and younger sisters followed each other, and they were all in a hurry. Put my own sister in the back of my mind."
Daiyu said: "This is definitely not what you think!"
"Uh..." Zhou Hang choked for a moment, but what he was thinking of was not Xue Baochai, but the conversation between Jia Zheng and those petty officials in the restaurant today.It's just that there are a lot of indecent things in those people's conversations, which I absolutely can't tell Daiyu at the moment.
Just as she didn't know how to answer, Daiyu said again: "Forget it, you don't have to say it if you don't want to."
She didn't know much about Xue Baochai and Daiyu, but she didn't need to know much either.Those are relatives of Jia's family and not hers, if she doesn't meet her then it's fine, even if she does, it's just to say hello and exchange a few words, there's no need to care too much.
After the space was upgraded, a gossip-shaped practice area appeared. It was not accurate to say that it was a practice area.It should be said that it is a self-contained small world, in which the time flow cannot be adjusted at will.In other words, it is possible to improve your cultivation in a short period of time in the future without using any pills or natural treasures.
For example, the time flow rate between the small world and the outside can be adjusted to ten to one, that is to say, if you practice for ten days in the small world, only one day will pass outside.Zhou Hang liked this training artifact very much, and whenever he had time, he hid in the small world to practice, in the euphemistic name of wanting to strengthen his own strength as soon as possible so as to protect Daiyu.
In fact, he was unwilling to keep up with Daiyu in his own realm, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Talent is not enough, work hard to make up.
Without the innate talent of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, Zhou Hang can only take the method of making up for one's weakness with hard work.
Fortunately, the results were not bad. After a night of devil-like training, Zhou Xiaomao's cultivation has improved a lot.It's a pity that the current maximum time flow rate that Small World can set is twenty to one, otherwise he will definitely be able to break through the peak of Qi refining and reach Daiyu's level.
The aftereffect of adjusting to the maximum time flow rate is a burst of dizziness after coming out of the small world.
It's the kind of dizziness when you have diarrhea until you collapse, and you feel dizzy and dizzy when you just think about it.Don't ask Zhou Hang why he gave such a vulgar example, because once he had acute gastroenteritis, and after two days of vomiting and diarrhea, he laughed from the toilet. This is the feeling that he will never forget for the rest of his life.
After soaking in Lingquan Lake for a while, Zhou Hang regained his spirit of writing.
He turned into a kitten, talking to Daiyu while paddling.
"Yu'er, I'm worried, what if someone from Jia's mansion bullies you, I'll go with you."
"Nonsense, you are a man, how can you come with me?"
"But I don't trust you. It's not like you don't know that Mrs. Wang is a woman with a heart like a snake."
"I'm going to visit my grandmother, and then I'll go to my aunt's place. I just don't want to get along with her."
"That doesn't work either." Zhou Hang said, "Ms. Wang has lost her mind and can do anything. I turned into a cat body, just like before, and no one will doubt anything."
"But the girls all know that Pang Pang is no longer here, so if you appear in front of everyone again, won't it be suspicious?"
Zhou Hang said confidently: "It's nothing. You forgot that I'm already at the peak of Qi refining? I've accumulated mana for a long time and I'm not willing to use it. I've been waiting for this time. Although the peak of Qi refining can't be done What a profound illusion, it’s okay to camouflage the skin and simply change the shape of the body. Although there are some flaws, it’s enough to fool the ordinary people outside. I turned into a fish ball and let the fish ball hide in the space. It has been soaking in the spiritual spring water all day long, and it just took the opportunity to fulfill its wish, killing two birds with one stone."
Daiyu thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this. With Zhou Hang around, it would be more convenient to pick and place things from the space.
The discussion has been made, and Zhou Hang will not have to take advantage of the darkness to go back to the palace this night.
When Zijuan came in to wait for Daiyu to wash, Zhou Hang's transfigured big black cat lay on the bed and couldn't get up.Zijuan smiled and went to grab the big black cat, but was almost scratched by the latter's paw.Zijuan didn't dare to catch any more, frowned and said, "It's strange, Yu Wan has such a temper today!"
Daiyu said: "Leave him alone! Last night he was gluttonous and stuffed his intestines. He made a fuss in the middle of the night and pestered me to rub his stomach. It's better now. He hasn't recovered yet."
"Why doesn't the girl call someone? I'm afraid you didn't sleep much this night."
"I saw that you were all sound asleep, so I didn't call you. I was the only one who was disturbed by his uneasiness. Why bother making everyone uneasy?"
Zijuan said: "Why do you say that, girl? This is our duty as servants. It is our fault for not serving a good girl. If the master asks, we have nothing to say."
Daiyu said: "I know you are all good girls, don't worry, if Daddy asks me, I will not make you feel wronged."
In general big families, there are old mothers and maids in the room of the young master, so that they can take care of them nearby.Once the master wants tea and water in the evening, it will be delivered in time.When Daiyu lived in Jia's mansion, there were maids and women who went to night.Since arriving in the Lin Mansion, everything is up to him, so he omitted this item.It is for the convenience when she is alone with Zhou Hang at night, so that she will not be disturbed
But Zijuan didn't know, and always felt that Daiyu had been wronged by this.
Then at this opportunity, she made a roundabout proposal to add Daiyu as a night maid, but was rejected by Daiyu again.
Zicuckoo had to give up.
After late breakfast, Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai drove to Rongguo Mansion in a carriage.The father and daughter were sitting together in a carriage, Lin Ruhai stared at the big black cat in Daiyu's hand, with a warm smile in his eyes, like the breeze blowing across the river in March in spring, warm and enveloping the river water cool feeling.
Daiyu felt a little guilty, and always felt that she and Zhou Hang seemed to have nothing to hide in front of her father.
"It's called... fish ball, right?" Lin Ruhai asked.
"Yes." Daiyu nodded.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, the fish balls are much thinner..."
Daiyu: "..." Daddy, you are too discerning, and my daughter is terrified.
"It's time to fix it," Lin Ruhai smiled and twirled his beard, "I visited some old friends yesterday, and a colleague gave me some fresh sea bass. I remember that your cats like to eat fish. You sent it, but you forgot. Wait until you go back, let the kitchen stew it when you get back, and make up for the fish balls!"
So, Dad, you didn't see it, did you?Just now thinking about this, Lin Ruhai said again: "I remember that Yu Wan's ears were erect and high, but today they are slightly bent down."
Daiyu again used the excuse that yesterday she was gluttonous and had a bad stomach and made a fuss all night.
"After tossing all night, he must be a little out of spirit at the moment."
Lin Ruhai didn't ask any more questions, and before he knew it, the carriage had entered Ningrong Street.
With Jia Amnesty absent, Xing, as the eldest son-in-law of the eldest son, can be considered a decent mistress.Xing sent someone to open the side door to welcome her, and she herself went to the second door herself.Daiyu got down from the carriage, Xing Shi met Lin Ruhai, and Daiyu also paid homage to Xing Shi.
Yingchun followed behind her, seeing Daiyu, Yingchun's eyes were already red, she quietly moved to Daiyu's side, and tugged at her sleeve.
"Sister Lin, are you okay?"
The author has something to say:
Dear ones, I am sorry, the name of Li Xu’s son was written wrong in the last chapter. I originally thought of Li Yu, the domain of the territory, and wrote it as this “Yu”. Sorry, I will change it later.
In addition, this article was renamed: Daiyu of the Red Chamber Raised a Cat.
Finally, I would like to thank the little angel Ayan 9999 for mine.
Thank you dear little angel lovejessica^o^, Schrödinger raised meow (●^o^●), the nutrient solution irrigated by the memory of the Seine River, love you guys ^3^
