Nurse Ning also suggested that Daiyu fold the 5000 taels of silver into gifts and give them to each house. After all, if you live in this mansion, there is nothing wrong with paying several people.Nanny Ning taught Daiyu to straighten her spine and respect herself, but she would not let her offend anyone.

Daiyu has never cared about things outside her body, so she has no objections.Moreover, she spoke fiercely, but after she got very angry, she felt a little bit regretful. It was nothing but that her grandmother treated her sincerely, but now she made the old man sad. Happy.

Daiyu didn't like vulgar things, so she just asked Nanny Ning to take someone out of the box to pick out gifts, while she laid out paper to draw on.

Just now I saw the scenery on the streets of the capital, I don't know if my brother has seen it, Daiyu thought why not draw it together.

Daiyu painted half of the painting, and Nanny Ning picked out similar things, so the others just chose according to their own temperament, but Jia Baoyu...

Nurse Ning: "Miss, what do you think is suitable for Second Master Bao?"

Daiyu: "...can I not give it to him?"

Nurse Ning smiled and said: "He acts rudely, let's not be like him, lest people criticize his pettiness."

Daiyu also knew this truth, but she was unhappy.Thinking of giving Jia Baoyu a gift, his eyes turned around a set of Four Books and Five Classics.

Nanny Ning couldn't help laughing: "The girl is so narrow-minded! But it's very suitable to give away the Four Books and Five Classics. I heard that there are famous Confucian commentaries on it, so it's very handy."

It's just that the person receiving the gift might not be too happy. I heard that the second master Bao hates reading the most, and he was reprimanded by the second master for playing truant every day. For such a person, getting this rare Four Books and Five Classics is probably far worse than Rouge Gouache. He is happy.

Daiyu's eyes lingered for a moment, then turned away, and said with a cold snort, "My book was humiliated for nothing."

In the end Daiyu chose a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for Baoyu, just like Jia Huan's, but Jia Huan was determined to study and improve, so he was naturally happy to receive the pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but Jia Baoyu was different.

It was not to make him happy!

After Ning Momo had chosen the items, she asked Wang Momo to send them to various courtyards with great fanfare.

……

Daiyu couldn't go back to her room after Wang Xifeng resettled her, so she had to go to Jiamu's courtyard to report first.Jia's mother was not at ease, and Wang Xifeng had to comfort her a little bit. Every time she came and went, she was delayed until Daiyu's mother Wang came to deliver things.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly welcomed the person in: "Sister Lin is still filial, let me see what a good thing it is!"

Wang Momo smiled and asked someone to push in. It turned out to be a wheelchair!

"Oh, how do you say that?" Wang Xifeng was taken aback, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a wheelchair, right?"

Wheelchairs are now very famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wang Xifeng has also heard of them.

The first wheelchair was originally used by the sixth elder brother to treat diseases, but because of its convenience, it was handed down from the hands of nobles, and there are even rumors that the empress dowager also liked it very much during her lifetime, so many healthy old people in the south of the Yangtze River also use it as a wheelchair. Owning a wheelchair is an honor, just like helping the elderly (crutches), it has become a symbol of longevity and health, and it has transcended its own usefulness.

Naturally, its original use is also important for people who are too weak or have limited legs.Jia's mother is not young, and her legs and feet are not very good on weekdays, so the wheelchair is really auspicious and practical.

This thing has only been popular for more than a month, and now it is still scarce in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is even rarer in the capital. It can be regarded as a rare thing, and it is made of red sandalwood.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Look at you, old ancestor, there is no such considerate sister Lin anymore, no wonder you think about your sister every day, but forget us all, you are really Linglong and caring person, we are all more caring than you." No way!"

Finally a smile appeared on Jia's mother's face, and Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and praised Daiyu and Baoyu again without mentioning it.

After finally coaxing the old lady well, Wang Xifeng returned to the house exhausted, leaned on the kang and didn't want to move anymore.

Ping'er ordered the servants to prepare the meal, twisted the hot handkerchief and wiped her face and hands: "Hurry up and eat something to rest!"

Wang Xifeng sighed: "I'm exhausted."

Ping'er didn't ask what's the matter, it was all about those things, no one had a good time being a wife, especially this grandma.She only waited for Wang Xifeng to take the bowls and chopsticks, she also filled the rice and sat down, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is here today, grandma can see you?"

"I see, there was a commotion," Wang Xifeng said, "He's really a formidable character!"

Ping'er laughed and said, "Can you still be better than grandma?"

Wang Xifeng: "She is different from me. I am powerful on the surface, but she is powerful on the inside."

She gave a rough overview of today's events: "Tell me whether she is powerful or not. Looking at her delicate and weak, she refuses to take any losses. She really has a spine made of iron, and a tongue made of a knife. If she doesn't open her mouth, she will die." Already, it scares me to death! I'm not as good as her! Don't talk about me, which girl in the family dares to do this?"

Ping'er was speechless: "This is because she has confidence. She can go home as soon as she can. Where can our girl go?"

"You're right," Wang Xifeng said, "You don't know, Uncle Lin didn't want to send Sister Lin here. Although my aunt went away and Sister Lin became the eldest daughter of a bereaved mother, Uncle Lin turned around and invited Sister Lin from the palace. When the foster mother comes back, no one can say that the girls brought up in this way are not good. Besides... everyone in the world is not snobby, as long as Uncle Lin does not fall, sister Lin does not have to worry about her marriage, if Uncle Lin falls, then sister Lin It doesn't matter where you raise it..."

Ping'er wondered, "Then why is it here again?"

Wang Xifeng said: "It's not that the old ancestor missed his granddaughter so much, he kept sending letters one after another, but Uncle Lin couldn't refuse, so he agreed. She doesn't have to live in our house, and it's not false to say that she will go home. That means you can go back if you're really unhappy, it's not like he doesn't have a house in the capital!"

Ping'er nodded: "Then we have to keep an eye on it, so as not to be neglected by the screwdriver?"

"It's exactly this, let the hands and feet underneath be put away. People want money and money, and people want people. Don't rush to shame people. If you can't control people, you should show your ass first!"

Ping'er complied naturally, and the two of them finished their meal and rinsed their mouths.A little servant girl came in to tell her that Miss Lin had sent someone.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly invited someone in, and seeing that it was Mammy Wang whom she had just met at Mother Jia's place, she had a guess in her heart, and she even joked: "Why is Mammy here? Could it be that she gave me a gift too?"

"That's right." Wang Momo gave her the two boxes, "Our girl is new here, but she never expected to encounter such a thing. Grandma is implicated, and I feel very uneasy. This thing should be an apology to grandma."

Wang Xifeng said "Ouch": "The ones who say that they apologize or not are all my sisters, why bother to be so heretic. I usually talk nonsense, and my sister is so small that she can scare me. Tell her not to go Go with your heart."

Wang Momo responded with a smile, then pointed to the small box and said: "These toys are used by girls in the old days, so let's give them to the eldest sister now, don't dislike the old ones."

Wang Xifeng didn't expect Daiyu to prepare something for her daughter, and her smile became more sincere: "That's a good relationship, and it will also let the eldest sister get a taste of her aunt's cleverness!"

After the two exchanged a few words, Wang Momo said that she had to go to another yard to deliver things, so she said goodbye and left.

The small boxes that Wang Xifeng opened for the children, although they are old items, are almost as good as brand new ones, and the materials of workmanship are of the highest quality, so the value is very extraordinary.

What was given to her was a set of pearl face masks. The pearls were big and round, with a lustrous luster, and they were all good things.

Ping'er smiled and said, "What a big handwriting."

"The value is secondary, but this kindness is rare." How many people in the family take the elder sister seriously? Sister Xue is a very thoughtful person, and she has never said a word about the elder sister. sentence.Whoever's daughter loves her dearly, just because of this, Wang Xifeng has a good impression of Daiyu.

She closed the box and said in a low voice: "Go and inquire, see what you gave to others?"

Ping'er responded, and came back soon to report: "I can't find out in the front yard for the time being, but the eldest wife in the back got a box of gold jewelry. The eldest wife was very happy, and returned to Miss Lin for a box of snacks; the second wife got a scroll of scriptures." Like a box of paper, they are all rare things; grandma and grandma have the same set of appearances, and second master Bao, third master Huan and young master Lan each have a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone."

Wang Xifeng heard her stop, and said with a smile: "Why didn't Lixiangyuan inquire about it?"

Xue's family lives in Lixiangyuan.

Ping'er's expression was a little strange: "I have inquired, and I didn't prepare a serious gift for Xue's family, but only sent a box of good tea."

Wang Xifeng clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Look at what I said is wrong, isn't it the backbone made of iron?"

Ping'er couldn't help being amazed, what Daiyu did was fine, and the things for the second wife and Baoyu looked good on the surface, and no one could say anything wrong. It's nothing to Yuan Yuan, a box of tea is considered a gift of affection.

It's just that no one in this mansion obeys the second wife and Baoyu, even Xue's family has a good reputation, and everyone compliments them, the girls in the family are not as favored as Miss Xue, it's the first time I see Miss Lin being so disrespectful of.The end is tough!

"However, she is not blindly stubborn, but knows how to be flexible," Ping'er pointed at the gift and smiled.

Wang Xifeng also laughed: "I'm afraid someone pointed it out. That's fine, now everyone in the house knows that she is not easy to bully, and it will also be a deterrent to that villain, lest there will be troubles in the future, and I will have to work hard."

She closed the box and told the little maid to put it away, leaned on the kang and sighed: "I really envy her."

Ping'er laughed and said, "Who else can grandma be worse than?"

Wang Xifeng shook her head and stopped talking, she seemed to be very beautiful in this mansion, but in fact she was just a glamorous face, it all depends on people's complexion, it's not as good as Daiyu's unrestrained freedom.

Daiyu gave high-profile gifts, not only Wang Xifeng knew what others received, but Mrs. Wang also knew.

She twirled her rosary, remembering what Wang Momo said just now——

"I heard that the second wife likes to chant scriptures and pay respects to the Buddha. People who pay respects to the Buddha are calm, so it is not good to give you gold and silver things. This volume of "Diamond Sutra" was specially invited from Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. I heard that it was consecrated in front of the Buddha. , the most important thing is to punish evil, promote good and protect the family. This golden millet paper is perfect for copying scriptures. I heard that it can last for thousands of years without breaking. It is most suitable for a compassionate person like the second wife."

Mrs. Wang didn't like to recite scriptures, let alone read a few words. Seeing these things, she just felt disturbed. Recalling the words of "punishing evil and promoting good" and "compassion" that Mother Wang said, she felt that there was something in the words, which was particularly harsh.

Thinking that the Lin family originally wanted to give 5000 taels of silver to the public house, at least three layers can be drawn into his hands, but now he only changed so many things, he felt even more irritable, waved his hand to ask people to put the things away, and asked: "Master But come back, could it be that some cheap hoof hooked up again?"

Zhou Rui's family apologized and said with a smile: "How can it be, the master hasn't returned to the mansion yet, maybe there are many things in the yamen."

Mrs. Wang said "Yes", and she calmed down a little: "When the master comes back, invite him to come over, I have something to discuss with him."

Zhou Rui's family agreed.

In the side courtyard, Aunt Zhao picked out wicks for her son.During the day, Jia Huan was always restrained by Mrs. Wang to do that, and only at night could she read books in peace, and now she was sitting cross-legged on the kang, touching the pen, ink, paper and inkstone sent by the Lin family, with a curious expression on her face: "I didn't expect that I would also have Receipt."

Aunt Zhao spat: "Hurry up and put away your hopeless appearance. Although you didn't crawl out of the intestines of a big house, you are still a serious master. A few pens, inks, papers and inkstones are nothing more, and it is worth being so rare? Ren Jiabao Er Grandpa, is there anything good?!"

Jia Huan said angrily: "What does my aunt know? This is not an ordinary pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Look at this paper. It is as thin as an egg membrane, as firm and clean as jade, and evenly smooth. If I read correctly, it should be Chengxintang paper. "

Aunt Zhao was stunned: "Chengxintang paper is very rare. The master got a few knives last time, and I have been reluctant to use it."

"No, I haven't seen it before." Jia Huan showed the brush and ink to Aunt Zhao again, "Look at the marks on it, are they Zhou Huchen and Cao Dingwang?"

Aunt Zhao asked curiously, "Is this the name of two people?"

"Yes, these two are very famous, Zhou Huchen is nothing more than that, although his pen is rare, there are still places to be found, do you know who Cao Dingwang is?" Jia Huan snorted and said proudly, "Speaking of Cao Dingwang, you may I don’t know, but you should know about the Jiangning weaving Cao’s family, they are a family, Cao Dingwang is also an official, ink making is just a hobby, think about how rare it is?”

Aunt Zhao couldn't help being speechless, her master is only a fifth-rank official, and her son can use the ink made by the official himself?

"The Lin family is very generous."

Jia Huan said "Yes": "It's rare that people don't look down on us. This is really the Four Treasures of the Study. Such a generous gift, it can be seen that it is not perfunctory for us."

At present, the four treasures of the study refer to Xuan brush, Hui ink, Xuan paper, and She inkstone.Needless to say, the pen, ink and paper given by the Lin family, the inkstone is also a top-grade She inkstone, which is much better than the four treasures of ordinary study.

Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes: "She treats us well, and we don't want to be that white-eyed wolf. It will be useful in the future, so let's help her too."

Jia Huan sneered, thinking what kind of family background he had, how could they help him.

Xue'er, the maid next to Aunt Zhao, laughed when she heard the words: "Auntie wants to repay Miss Lin's friendship, isn't there a chance right now?"

Aunt Zhao wondered, "What chance?"

"Auntie, think about it, what is Miss Lin's biggest trouble now?" Xue'er pointed in the direction of Baoyu's courtyard, "We all know that person's temperament, and there is such a trouble today, and I don't know what to do tomorrow. It's pestering Miss Lin. I see that Miss Lin is different from other girls, she is the most disciplined, but I see or not? It will not be a good time, and it will hurt Miss Lin's reputation. If we take care of her for her, we will be treated as Pay her back."

Jia Huan's eyes lit up: "Do you have a solution?"

Xue'er smiled and pointed out: "Now only my aunt can handle this matter. My aunt just wants to think, who is the one most afraid of?"

What Jia Baoyu was most afraid of...of course, was Jia Zheng.

Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up: "Just do it!"

He smiled at Xue'er again: "Good girl, it's hard for you to have such a clear mind, this matter has become your aunt's reward."

Xue'er smiled and agreed, she didn't care about Aunt Zhao's three melons and two dates, if this matter is done, that person will give her a lot of money.She has no relatives and no reason in the mansion, and the master who serves her is helpless, so nothing can make her feel more secure except money.

Because she had a plan in mind, Aunt Zhao tried her best to invite Jia Zheng to her room, and described Jia Baoyu's various behaviors today with added fuel and vinegar.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang sent someone to invite Jia Zheng, who was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and immediately went away with a cold face.

Aunt Zhao looked at Jia Zheng's menacing back, she was not angry because Mrs. Wang intercepted someone from her room, but smiled complacently.

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Wang thought about what she was going to say in her heart, and she was relieved when she was sure that there was nothing wrong. When she saw Jia Zheng coming in, she immediately stood up to greet him: "Master..."

"I heard that Baoyu got into trouble again today, how did you teach the child?"

Jia Zheng didn't listen to Mrs. Wang's words, and scolded his head and face, "If you don't know how to teach children, don't worry about it. Tomorrow, you will ask Baoyu to teach at home. What kind of mess is going on all day? You are used to it!"

After finishing speaking, she didn't bother to look at Mrs. Wang's old face again, so she opened the curtain and went out, leaving Mrs. Wang's face blue and white with anger.

Jia Baoyu didn't know that he had provoked his father's anger and was about to face a tragic fate. Now he was holding Wang Momo, happily: "I was going to find Sister Lin, and Sister Lin doesn't blame me? "

Wang Momo laughed and said, "Isn't it strange to say something, the second master is too worried."

Baoyu sighed and said, "It's just that I said something wrong this time and offended my sister. I should apologize to her. Why did I ask her to give me something?"

Wang Momo was quite sincere when she heard these words, she felt less dissatisfied, and her smile became more sincere: "It was originally a family of brothers and sisters, and there were some quarrels, but now it's all over, the second master doesn't have to take it to heart. These things were prepared a long time ago, not for other reasons."

It's not for apologizing, my girl is right, so she doesn't need apologizing!

"Very, very, sister Lin is really generous." Jia Baoyu smiled and praised Daiyu, and no longer mentioned the matter of apology, but said, "Since we are brothers and sisters in the same family, we should get closer. I will go to my sister." Let's talk for a while."

Nanny Wang: "..."

When Daiyu saw Jia Mu, Wang Momo was watching outside to salute and did not go in, so she didn't know Baoyu's temperament. She thought others were exaggerating, but now she realized that it was really so unreliable. stiff.

What about the young girl and master, is it appropriate to meet in private? !

Fortunately, the attacker stopped Baoyu: "One is that it's so late, Miss Lin is going to sleep, and the other is that Miss Lin has just arrived, and Baihuating has not been cleaned up yet. Wouldn't it be more trouble if you go now, and I will come back in the daytime." go."

Looking at the sky outside, Jia Baoyu slapped his forehead, took Xiren's hand and said, "My good sister, if you are considerate, please tell Sister Lin, I'll go look for her tomorrow."

Nanny Wang twitched, she was not very good at words, she knew something was wrong in her heart, but she didn't know how to politely refuse, she was silent for a moment and could only bless Fushen lightly, and turned around without saying a word, her reluctance was very obvious.

She planned to tell Nanny Ning when she went back, that Nanny Ning was smart and would always find a way.

Baoyu didn't see Wang Nanny's repulsion at all, until she was lying on the bed, she was still thinking about what to bring to Lin Daiyu tomorrow: "You don't know, Sister Lin is really a fairy, and ordinary things are afraid of being defiled. What about her?"

Xiren smiled and said: "Who's things can be better than yours, Miss Lin can't be disgusted, go to sleep."

Jia Baoyu fell asleep after thinking about it, and woke up very early the next day, and ran out after a hasty wash.However, as soon as he ran to the gate of the courtyard, he was blocked by the people sent by Jia Zheng, so he could only reluctantly go to the study to meet Jia Zheng, but he never came back after this visit, saying that he was sent directly to his home school for class. , have not been free recently.

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news in Baihuating. Yesterday Wang Momo came back and told about Jia Baoyu's performance. She was really angry and regretful.

Annoyed that Jia Baoyu was making progress, he regretted that he was doing things with dignity, and asked the other party to push his nose on his face.

She originally thought that if Jia Baoyu came today, she would try her best to tear her face and disappear. No matter how good or bad, she must let people know her attitude and bottom line. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Jia Baoyu was restrained by his father. up.

Just as Daiyu wanted to say that she was lucky, she suddenly remembered what Nanny Ning said yesterday——

No matter how bad it is, there are still six princes.

Could it be that this matter was written by the senior brother?
