[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Jia Lian talked about this, but Ping'er remained silent.

Jia Lian stretched out his hand and gently brought Ping'er beside him to sit down. He held Ping'er's hand in his and said softly: "When she was housekeeper, you followed her to handle all kinds of trivial matters for her. She couldn't think of it." If you can't do it, you have thought about it for her. When she was good-looking in the past, when she acted / did things with a lot of ruthlessness, the people in the house listened to her on the surface, but secretly said that she was not good. You are better than her Be more peaceful, in this mansion, especially the little servants and girls, they mostly say hello behind their backs."

Since Wang Xifeng's accident happened for so long, Jia Lian almost kept silent about Wang Xifeng's affairs.He was brooding in his heart, so he didn't want to say more.

Now that the time has passed, thinking about Wang Xifeng's end, and seeing how Qiaojieer is suffering every day but being obedient and sensible, the resentment towards Wang Xifeng in his heart has gradually dissipated.With less hatred in her heart, Wang Xifeng's usual goodness is gradually reflected.

It's not that Jia Lian misses Wang Xifeng, but he just feels that this person is not so heinous.

Since the accident, this is also the first time that Jia Lian has expressed his heart and soul to Tong Ping'er.

He lightly held Ping'er's hand and said: "When I was so absurd in the past, I also said a lot of jokes. But there is one sentence that is not a joke. Ping'er, I will tell you the truth today. I really want to straighten you up, but in the current situation of our eldest son in the mansion, if we straighten you up, it will inevitably cause criticism. I don't want people to compare you with Mrs. Li. If someone provokes you, you big It is difficult for the head of the house and her grandson's daughter-in-law of the second house to be."

"What I mean is that when the family is separated in the future, let's go out and live alone, and I will set you up again. At that time, you will have a reputation, and you will be able to take care of your own affairs in our room, and you don't have to deal with others."

Ping'er listened quietly to Jia Lian's words, but when Jia Lian finished speaking, Ping'er's expression changed in surprise.Ping'er was very surprised and didn't know for a moment whether to ask Jia Lian why he said such things about the separation of the family, or whether Jia Lian had the intention of helping her upright.

Jia Lian naturally saw Ping'er's confusion and surprise, and he said: "You know the current situation in the house, because of my going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the master is very unhappy. The palace wants Li's housekeeper, and he is a virtuous person on the surface. Concubine's meaning, but in fact, everyone from the old lady to the wife and lord knows in their hearts that this is actually the meaning of the Holy Majesty. I am not reconciled, but the master is not reconciled. He wholeheartedly wants to find me another It’s a good marriage, but it’s not such an easy thing.”

"To be honest, it's not that I don't want to continue. One is that the people who remarry are too involved with them. It will not benefit my future in the future, but it will be a drag. Second, since I have followed Lord Lin, I must I won't back up the new second/grandmother to let her fight Li Shi, I can't agree with the master, so I have to let this matter go."

"Besides, people from outside will never be sincere to Qiaojieer. She left behind only such a sister. I love Qiaojieer from the bottom of my heart. I don't want her to be wronged, and I don't want to marry someone who doesn't know the bottom line. Now, I think Ping'er is very good to you. I believe that even if you get upright and have your own children in the future, you will treat Qiao sister well."

"Your deed of sale/body was in her hands, and I took it back a long time ago, and the deed of sale/body was burned long ago. You are not a slave now, and you will divide your family later. I will get rid of your slavery for your family." Come out and find another job for them, and then you can live with me."

Hearing these words, Ping'er had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, his eyes gradually turned red, he pursed his lips for a long while, and finally said: "I'm all under the arrangement of the second master."

Ping'er slowed down, and then said in a low voice, "It's just that I don't know what the second master said about the separation of the family? The old lady is still alive, and even though she often suffers from illness, she is in good spirits. It seems that there are still some years left. How did the second master say the word separation? The elders in this mansion are still there, so there is absolutely no reason for separation."

Jia Lian said indifferently: "The old lady is here, but she can't help the men below to commit suicide. The old lady is old and can't control the master anymore, and she can't follow the master all day long to supervise him. How do you know that the master is doing something outside?" What's the matter?"

"You are a discerning person, so you can't fail to see that not only the old lady favors the second bedroom, but even the holy majesty looks at the second bedroom differently. Their precious jade is useless, but they still have Lan'er. Although the second master is more rigid, he is better than our master." Good. As for our wife, there is no need to talk about it. No matter how bad the second wife is, she is better than our wife."

"Actually, if it's just that our eldest house can't be used, that's all right, and it won't lead to the point of separation. Now that the emperor canonized the princes as princes, there are turbulent undercurrents in the court, but our master and Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion Grandpa likes to hang out with historians and King Mu, and they gather to drink and talk all day long, and they don't know what they are planning. The imperial court keeps a close eye on it, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not relax its supervision. If there is any trouble in the future What happened, the master folded in, we are in order to protect ourselves, and the old lady is in order to protect myself, how can we not break up the family decisively without a strong man?"

"The master doesn't listen to anyone's persuasion now. I'll try to persuade him. He said that he would hit me every time he saw me, and he would never give me a chance to speak. This father and son have become jealous enemies. I have nothing to do , can only be mixed by them."

Ping'er was not as pessimistic as Jia Lian, instead she took Jia Lian's hand and said softly, "I don't think the old lady is such a heartless person."

"Back then... when something happened to her, the old lady took her own money to save her and come back. If something happened to the old man, even if the old lady was powerless, she would not let the family be separated. Now that the family is divided, Rong Isn't the government defeated in the eyes of outsiders?"

Jia Lian shook his head slightly: "Ping'er, you don't understand."

"If something really happens, the old lady can't decide the matter of family division. Master Lin Hou likes me to do things with him. As long as I don't make mistakes, I can keep my future. But if something happens to the master, I, as a human being The son is bound to be implicated. Lord Lin Hou has the heart to protect him, so the only way out is to separate. Only by separating can the affairs of the master not involve more people. In fact, if you think about it carefully, separation may not be a bad thing. Bundled together, one prospers, one prospers, one loses, we have had this honor, and this loss is also great. It is separated, and each family is responsible for its own decisions, and it is more comfortable."

Jia Lian's words were not unfounded worries. They were actually expressed after seeing Jia She mixed with those people in Ningguo Mansion recently.

What Jia Lian said was full of sadness on Ping'er's face. Ping'er is no longer the director of the house with the mistress and grandma like before.Li Wan has someone Li Wan wants to use, she doesn't use Ping'er, and Ping'er doesn't follow along to join in the fun.

Ping'er took sister Qiao to live behind closed doors. She only cared about the affairs in her own yard, and didn't go/worry about those idle thoughts every day, so she lived a peaceful life.

But when Jia Lian suddenly told her all these things, Ping'er couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Seeing that Ping'er was frowning, Jia Lian stretched out his hand to gently caress her brow, then held her in his arms and said, "Ping'er, I'm not telling you this to make you worry about the future. You don't need to worry about it. I just want to tell you what is in my heart. In the future, you will be my wife. I was with her before, and the husband and wife have never been so frank, so that this kind of result happened. I am also responsible for what happened to her. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes again. I also know that you are a reasonable person and your temper is more peaceful than hers. Telling you this clearly is also to tell you that if you have something on your mind Don't lie to me, after all, we are people who are going to live a lifetime."

Ping'er has been Jia Lian's housekeeper for several years, and the two of them can be said to be very close, but in these few years, how has she ever heard Jia Lian say such sincere and caring words?

For a moment, emotions surged in his heart, and Ping'er burst into tears.

Jia Lian patiently comforted Ping'er, and when Ping'er calmed down, she finally said: "When Grandma Liu came, I cried as soon as I saw her, saying that they were closed and had no news. Something happened. Grandma Liu came to visit in a hurry. When I entered the mansion, everyone never mentioned her, and she didn't dare to mention her. She still told me quietly after seeing me."

"I won't hide it from Second Master, I did take Grandma Liu to see her secretly. Sister Qiao has also met Grandma Liu."

When the old friends meet after the disaster, it is natural that they will cry and tell each other.When Grandma Liu met Wang Xifeng, Ping'er couldn't help but feel sour when he recalled it.

Jia Lian listened to Ping'er's brief talk, and seeing Ping'er's brevity, he didn't ask her further. He only told her after Ping'er finished speaking: "You have been taking care of her secretly these days, as long as you don't get noticed. It's okay to take more care of her. When the family is separated, she will go with us and leave this mansion, and life will not be so difficult."

"As for Grandma Liu, it's fine if the old lady and the wife don't see each other. Mrs. Li didn't have any friendship with her before, and she wouldn't be too close to Grandma Liu. It doesn't matter if you have friendship, so it doesn't matter. Sister Qiao is willing to be with her Get close, just follow her."

The two of them sat together and chatted, their hearts were at peace that they had never felt before.

Ping'er talked with Jia Lian for a while, and when it was late at night, he helped Jia Lian to sleep.Now Jia Lian can sleep peacefully by himself, and he didn't ask Ping'er to accompany him. After he lay down, Ping'er turned off the light and went out.

Jia Baoyu was beaten, and Jia's mother was very distressed. Jia Baoyu originally moved to the outer courtyard to live, but Jia's mother was afraid that no one would take care of him outside, and that the people arranged by Mrs. Wang could not take good care of him, so she sent Jia Baoyu to the hospital. She moved to live with her, and she personally took care of Jia Baoyu to recover from his injuries.

Everyone knew the reason why Jia Baoyu was beaten, but Jia Baoyu himself was dumbfounded.

It was also after moving to Jia's mother that Jia Baoyu asked Jia's mother about it, and Jia's mother told Jia Baoyu the reasons.Jia Baoyu really felt that he was wronged.But the wagtail incense skewers were indeed very involved, and they were not something he could take at will. After Jia's mother coaxed him to persuade him, Jia Baoyu could only pinch his nose to recognize it.After all, Shui Rong was beaten in the palace, so what can he do?

But when Jia's mother euphemistically told Jia Baoyu that his marriage with Lin Daiyu was cancelled, Jia Baoyu's reaction was particularly intense.Jia Baoyu couldn't accept it and couldn't accept it at all. He tried every means to fight with Jiamu, hoping that Jiamu would let go, but Jiamu was very firm this time, no matter how much Jia Baoyu made a fuss, he would not let go.

Jia Baoyu made a fuss, Mother Jia saw that it was useless to coax Jia Baoyu, so she became cruel and simply told Jia Baoyu what Lin Jian had said.

"Baoyu, now that you are grown up, you can no longer be as ignorant as you were when you were a child. I, I want to spoil you, and I also think you are the best match for me. But there is no fate between you! For the sake of the future of our family, I can only wrong you. Besides, since Lin Jian can make the decision for Yan'er in this matter, Yan'er had such an attitude that day. She didn't even look at you after you were injured. The fact that she never asked, or even sent someone over to see you, means that she doesn't have you in her heart. She just wants to get rid of you, so why do you bother?"

"Baoyu, grandma will find you a good marriage in the future, a girl who is better than a hairy girl to match you, you have to take good care of your wounds, don't get angry anymore!"

Jia Baoyu didn't believe Jia Mu's words at first, he and Lin Daiyu grew up together, it was too difficult for him to accept the fact that Lin Daiyu didn't like him, but Lin Daiyu did, as Jia Mu said, never asked him It's as if he doesn't exist in this world. He and Lin Daiyu live in the same mansion, but they seem to live in two worlds.

Jia Baoyu couldn't help feeling resentful towards Lin Jian.

Ever since he was a child, he had never hated someone so much.This time with Lin Jian, he tasted this kind of taste.

Before Lin Jian appeared, Lin Daiyu had never been so indifferent to him.After Lin Jian appeared, Lin Daiyu gradually alienated him.How could Jia Baoyu be reconciled to this?

Jia Baoyu felt that it was Lin Jian who made Lin Daiyu like this, and Lin Jian must have spoken ill of him in front of Lin Daiyu.Otherwise, they have a relationship since childhood, how could Lin Daiyu be like this?

Jia Baoyu refused to blame Lin Daiyu in the slightest, he was full of resentment against Lin Jian, he made up his mind to recover from his injuries, and went to Lin Jian to question him clearly after healed up as soon as possible.He must snatch Lin Daiyu back!

Jia Baoyu made up his mind, and he stopped making trouble.Jia's mother didn't know what Jia Baoyu was thinking, but seeing that Jia Baoyu stopped making trouble, Jia's mother felt relieved. She asked Xiren and others to take good care of Jia Baoyu, and then put her mind on buying Lin Daiyu. The pavement and Zhuangzi went up.

If the seizure fails, Mother Jia can only follow Jia Baoyu's previous idea, take out her own money, and come forward to buy Lin Daiyu's shop and Zhuangzi.After all, the shopkeepers in the shop and the people in the village are all from the Jia family's historian family. If they were bought by others, wouldn't it make outsiders laugh at the Jia family's incompetence?

To say that these shopfronts and Zhuangzi were worth more than one hundred thousand taels of silver to Jia Min as a dowry at the beginning, and after a few years, they were bought back from Lin Daiyu, and the amount has more than doubled, and Lin Daiyu has not gone any higher. The asking price was very fair, a total of 20 taels of silver, and buying a dozen shops and villages was a completely fair and just transaction.

Mother Jia can't touch the money in her father's house. The 20 taels of silver are all her own money. Taking it out all at once will almost empty out more than half of her body.

Mother Jia couldn't help but feel guilty, but she felt relieved thinking that those shops and Zhuangzi could continue to make profits in her hands, and she could make some income every year, and gradually save some money for herself.However, Mother Jia was also thinking in her heart that these shopfronts and Zhuangzi were her private property, and no one would give them to her. In the future, when Jia Baoyu got married, when she closed her eyes, Jia Baoyu would have to leave them alone. .

Mother Jia didn't want to offend Lin Jian, so this time she made a deal with Lin Daiyu very happily, without delay at all.Putting aside the relationship between their grandmother and granddaughter, the two settled for both money and goods, and each took everything they wanted.

After Lin Daiyu sold the store and Zhuangzi, she was ready to open a medicine hall and medical center.

Since the quarrel that day, Lin Daiyu's feelings for Jia's mother, Jia Baoyu and Rongguo Mansion have faded.In the past, she always minded that she was a guest, she wholeheartedly wanted to be her own person in this family, and she was always sentimental because she was dependent on others.

Now, after letting go of her heart, she felt that she was originally a guest, and she was not her own person but wanted to be her own person. It was because she was too paranoid in the past.

After Lin Daiyu put herself in the right position, she felt that all the troubles she used to worry about were not important anymore. Now that she manages her life well, the most important thing is to properly keep and use the money on hand.

Of course, she knew very well in her heart that Lin Jian brought all of this to her now. If it weren't for his considerate, thoughtful and careful care, it would be difficult for her to get all of today's things by herself.

Lin Jian left before dawn that day, and he hurried to court, but Lin Daiyu didn't see him, only heard from Qian Ying that he would come to the mansion to visit her again when he was free.

But more than half a month passed, the leaves on the tree turned yellow and slowly withered, most of the leaves on the tree fell, and Lin Jian didn't come to see her.He didn't even make it to the holidays.

Instead, Qian Ying and Xiao Chen sent many people or things.Together with Mrs. Qiao, Lin Jian almost took care of her daily life and food. Now her food and daily life are all taken care of by the people of the Lin family, almost isolated from the people of Jia's house. People from the Lin family don't get paid from Jia's house even if they use it.

Jia Mu, Li Wan and others turned a blind eye to this and let it go, and the people below couldn't say anything.Furthermore, these are the people sent by the former general's mansion. They have all seen the brutality of the young master of the Lin family. Even the second master Bao beat him whenever he said so. How dare they offend him?

Therefore, the Jia family acquiesced to this behavior.

Lin Daiyu couldn't see Lin Jian, and she cared about his body in her heart, and she would always ask about Qian Ying when he came.

Every time Qian Ying answered according to what Lin Jian had taught him in advance, saying that Lin Jian was still not in good health, he was very busy with business and had little time to sleep, but after having the medicine pack, the quality of sleep was better. Can sleep for more than an hour.

Lin Daiyu was both relieved and worried when she heard this. She couldn't see anyone, so she didn't know how Lin Jian looked like now, but when Qian Ying said that Xiu Mu was busy all day and couldn't find time to rest, Lin Daiyu also felt sorry for Lin Jian. Body.

She couldn't let go of her worries, so she could only secretly make a few larger medicine bags for Qian Ying and ask him to take them to Lin Jian.

She also told Qian Ying: "Third brother doesn't care about his body. You stay with him every day, so you must let him rest well and take good care of himself. If you can't stay up late, try to let third brother not stay up late."

Qian Ying agreed with the medicine bag, and kept Lin Daiyu's words in his heart. He looked at Lin Daiyu's worrying appearance, but thought in his heart that his young master really had skills. Seeing Miss Lin's current state, it was obvious that she was relieved. No more.

After the beginning of winter, the strong wind blew for more than ten days, and finally the strong wind stopped, and there was a fine and sunny weather.

Qiao's sent someone to pick Lin Daiyu out, saying that the storefront of the medicine hall and medical center had been selected, and the doctor in charge had also been found according to Lin Daiyu's request, and asked Lin Daiyu to go out and have a look.

Xiangwu conveyed the words of the visitor, and finally said with a smile: "Ma'am, the girl said that Aunt Sun can make decisions about these things. But Madam thought, the girl has been bored in the mansion for a while, and finally met her." If the weather is fine, if the girl thinks she is healthy, she wants to invite the girl to go out for a walk. It's no fun to be bored in the mansion all the time. The wife also said that Aunt Sun has sent someone to invite her, just wait girl."

After getting in touch these days, the closer she gets to Qiao Shi, the more Lin Daiyu likes Qiao Shi.Not only did Mrs. Qiao treat her very well, but she was also gentle and amiable, and she would always come up with some new gadgets to take her to experience, which also allowed Lin Daiyu to see the agility and freshness of a woman from a family of generals.

Qiao's feeling is like the warm spring breeze blowing across the cheeks. In this cold winter, such warmth is especially valuable.

Compared with Qiao's, the girls in Jia's mansion are like birds kept in a cage. They look alive inside, but when they look outside, they lose their real taste.And the agility and authenticity of Qiao's body is what Lin Daiyu has always dreamed of and longed for.

Lin Daiyu immediately agreed, and asked Zicuckoo to comb her hair, and she was about to go out after changing her clothes.

Xiangwu was careful, so she immediately picked up the curtain and went out to test the temperature outside. She stood in the yard with her arms open for a while, and when she came back into the house, she said, "Sister Zijuan, although there is sun outside, it is still a bit cool. Sister Zijuan Prepare a rabbit fur cloak for the girl. It’s fine for the girl to wear two layers of jackets. If it’s hot, take a rest, but you can’t take off your clothes in this weather, lest the wind make you sweat. It's going to give you a headache."

Zijuan saw that Xiangwu Xianrou was wearing thin clothes, so she wanted to bring her two cloaks, but Xianrou stopped her: "Sister Zijuan, we are martial arts practitioners, and we are in good health. Don’t be afraid of the cold, it’s still hot if you wear too much! Sister, just take care of the girl. We’re warm!”

There are two sisters, Xiangwu is quiet and careful, soft, cheerful and talkative.

Zijuan loves to tease Xianrou, and after hearing what she said, she was not in a hurry to get the cloak, she just smiled and said: "You are young, don't talk nonsense. Isn't Lord Lin Hou also a martial artist? Are you uncomfortable here or there?"

"You people who practice martial arts also eat whole grains, don't you think that your body made of iron won't get sick?"
