Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Yinhong found that something was wrong with Linglong recently. In the past, Linglong was as sweet-hearted as her name, but she made frequent mistakes recently. She forgot to sharpen the ink when Jia Hu wrote, and she didn’t remember to help with the book when Jia Hu endorsed it. will giggle.Because Yinhong and Linglong are both big girls, their residence is next door. In the evening, Yinhong heard the sound of the door next door being opened and someone going out several times. She paid attention, but it was several hours before Linglong came back to the house.Inquiring about it in private, Linglong didn't have any errands at night, Yinhong felt suspicious, where did Linglong go in the middle of the night?

I'm thinking about it in my heart, so I naturally need to pay more attention on weekdays.Yinhong soon noticed more doubts.More and more expensive jewelry began to appear on Linglong's body. Although she didn't bring it out in front of people, she did not take it out in private, in the small courtyard of her servants. However, Yinhong followed Jia Mu but she had some knowledge. One or two of such good things could be said to be rewarded by the master, but it was absolutely impossible to change the tricks from time to time at that time.

Moreover, Linglong seems to have suddenly lost her temper, completely losing her previous cautiousness and obedience. She can barely restrain her temper in front of Zhang Shijiahu and others, but when facing her, Hui Zhi, and even Chen's mother, sometimes When he got angry, he dared to slap a few words unscrupulously, without any sympathy, and was extremely arrogant and domineering.

Once when Jia Hu was writing, Linglong was impatient and asked Huizhi to go over. At that time, Huizhi had something to do and didn't respond immediately. You're still just a second-class lady, and you're pretending to be a young lady in front of me. I'm not going to force you, right? If you just tell me, I won't work for you in the future!"

Huizhi was taken aback by her vicious appearance, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, she was scolded by her forcibly, but a few girls sat together and talked in private, and they couldn't help talking about what was wrong with her: "Sister Linglong used to be a bit arrogant, but she was bestowed by the master, which is normal, but now, she seems to be a different person."

Yinhong felt the same way, but it was nothing to do with herself. Yinhong knew that Mother Chen and others were on guard against her, and she had no intention of making things difficult for Linglong. Anyway, it was bestowed by Jia Daishan, and she belonged to Mother Jia. She is also a big girl, and Yinhong thinks that Linglong can't mess with her. In this case, it doesn't matter to her how much the girls below suffer.

It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Although Yinhong wanted to stay out of it, she didn't want a small accident to get her into trouble.

One day, Yinhong finished making mint cold cakes for Jia Hu in the small kitchen. She was sweating all over, so she went back to the yard to change clothes. Not long after entering the house, she heard Linglong yelling outside: "Master, why did you suddenly change again?" Didn't you tell grandma to open up to me in a few days? Why are you delaying for a few more days now? Even the meeting at night has been cancelled, isn't it just coaxing me to play tricks on me?" With a sound, something fell to the ground, and Linglong said airily, "Who cares about Lao Shizi's things? What I want is for the uncle to honor what he said to me!"

A strange little girl said anxiously: "My good sister, you can keep your voice down, and be heard carefully. You are the person next to Brother Hu. Although the uncle likes you, don't you still have scruples? You also think about it for the uncle. consider."

"What are you afraid of! At this moment, everyone is serving by the master's side, who will come back to the yard?" Linglong said nonchalantly, and asked the girl, "Don't change the topic for me, Uncle just promised me to give me face a few days ago, why did he change his mind when he turned around? Is there someone around me who has been slandering? Who is it, let me see if I can spare her!"

The little girl just kept denying: "My good sister, don't get me wrong, who doesn't like my sister's character? Why would someone say that you are not good in front of the master? It's true that the master is not good these days. I don't know why, I blamed the uncle so much, and I was afraid that I would wrong you, so I wanted to wait a little longer. No, today the master is resting at home, and I want the uncle and the second master to go to the study together tonight. Not empty."

Linglong lost her voice when she heard the words, and said dejectedly: "Since the master is watching closely, I naturally understand the master. You go back and tell the master when you are free, I have been waiting for you~~"

Yinhong's heart beat wildly for a while, she was startled, she covered her mouth for a long time and didn't recover, she never thought that Linglong was with Jia She?Oh my god, Linglong is the person next to Jia Hu!Thinking about it again, isn't there an explanation for Linglong's abnormality these days?Those expensive jewellery, the sudden change of arrogance, and even the kind of defiantness... No wonder, it turned out to have caught Jia She's eyes.

After Yinhong was surprised, she became disdainful, but she just climbed up to Jia She, without even a title, and she was already so frivolous and arrogant, how could such a Linglong beat the Zhang family?Furthermore, with Jia She's temperament of lingering in the flowers, can he have a long love for her?Now I'm proud of it, and I don't think about it carefully, whether this backing is stable or not!

After changing her clothes, Yinhong didn't go out immediately, and sat in the room for a while.The matter between Linglong and Jia She has not yet quarreled, she went out suddenly and was bumped into by Linglong, knowing that she knew about it, there would be trouble if she turned around.One more thing is worse than one less thing. Yinhong didn't want to cause trouble, at least, she didn't want to cause trouble for herself at all before she got the evidence and reported the matter to Mother Jia.

The outside gradually became quiet, Yinhong saw the little girl coming out of the yard through the crack of the door, the door next door creaked, and there was no one in the yard, Yinhong carefully opened the door and slipped out, lightly Just as the foot was about to walk, under the sunlight in the corner of his eyes, some dazzling light flashed past, Yinhong couldn't help but glanced at it, and after seeing it, his steps stopped involuntarily.

On the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, a purple box was open, and a set of golden Xianghong treasure hairpin rings were lying on the red cloth. The gold is full of fineness, and has been finely drawn into delicate pattern shapes by craftsmen, but judging from the shape, there must be several taels—this set of jewelry is very valuable.

Yinhong is used to seeing good things, but when she thinks that this was given to Linglong by Jia She, and it will be Linglong's property as her slave, she can't help but feel complicated, and she can't help but feel dazed.

Just this moment, she ran into Linglong who came out of the house. She saw that Linglong's face was still full of anger, and her beautiful eyebrows were tightly frowned. When she saw her, she was startled, and her eyes were on her. After turning around, it suddenly became overcast, and with a sneer, she said, "Yinhong, you are dressed differently from this morning. Did you come back and change?" Then he asked sinisterly, "So, you also heard what I said to others first?"

Yinhong's heart skipped a beat, although she didn't say she was scared, she just heard that someone was caught in the corner of the wall. After all, she felt embarrassed, so she squeezed out a smile, and Yinhong greeted Linglong uncomfortably: "I just came to change clothes, I didn't expect you I will also be in..." It's just that I still feel a little guilty.

Linglong looked at her with a sullen face for a while, then suddenly she smiled, not that kind of fake smile, but a warm and flattering smile: "I heard it when I heard it, Yinhong, we have been serving brother Hu for a long time , what kind of person are you, how can I not know? I believe you, you must not be talking nonsense." He stepped forward and pulled her, "You came back from the heat in the small kitchen, right? Anyway, brother Mother Chen is taking care of her, come on, let's go into the room and have a good chat, talk, we've been talking for so long, we've been busy doing things, we haven't chatted for a long time." Regardless of Yinhong's refusal, half-pushed, half-pushed The person was dragged into her room, and of course, she did not forget to bring the set of red gold inlaid with rubies.

The layout of Linglong's room is the same as that of the silver-red room. In a small room, there is a bed, a cabinet, a dressing table, a table and four chairs in the middle, and a bogus in the corner, where you can put some small things.Compared to those small houses, this is naturally very good, but compared to the owner's house, this place is very shabby.

Linglong put the set of jewelry away carefully, looked back at Yinhong, with a bit of sentimentality, and said in a deep voice: "Yinhong, although we haven't been together for a long time, I think there is nothing wrong with you. Don't deny it, You must have heard about my uncle and I just now." Yinhong opened her mouth to speak, but Linglong sighed, and said, "Since you know, then I won't keep it from you." Suddenly she turned around and took a box Came out, hugged and sat next to Yinhong, and opened the lid.

Boxes full of gold, silver and jewels.

Pearl earrings, red gold earrings, emerald bracelets, gemstone rings, the color and style, I dare not say that they are more expensive than Zhang's, but they are definitely not the random items in the shop, and the materials are all excellent.Linglong picked out a hairpin made of golden butterfly playing with peonies. Every pattern of the half-opened and half-closed peonies can be clearly seen. The butterflies on it were hollowed out and carved, and the gold threads were pulled into a thin layer. With a slight movement, The wings trembled slightly, as if the butterfly was about to come to life, so delicate and beautiful.

Yinhong's eyes flicked past, and a trace of longing and envy flashed quickly, but she only asked in doubt: "Sister Linglong, what are you..."

Linglong smiled, raised her hand but inserted the hairpin into the silver-red hair, looked it over, nodded: "Your skin is fair, and the hairpin is just right."

Yin Hong hurriedly pulled out the hairpin: "How can I deserve such a precious thing? Sister Linglong, don't make fun of me, take it back."

Linglong grabbed her hand: "Why are you kidding me? I really want to give it to my sister." Pushing the box in front of Yinhong, "Today I will tell my sister the truth, these are all given to me by my uncle these days. Yes, not to mention how expensive it is, but it’s fine workmanship, and it’s not an insult to you if you give it to your sister.” Yinhong hesitated, Linglong just pretended not to see it, and said, “Since my sister knows about me and my uncle, I don’t want to do it either.” Hiding it." I was excited, "Slaves like us who give birth to children will be inferior to others for the rest of their lives. But how rich and glorious this mansion is, my sister also sees it? Is it true? Willing to be married off by the master at random with a servant in the future, not to mention having sons and daughters as slaves and maidservants, and having to take care of the housework and suffer all kinds of hardships?"

He grabbed Yinhong's hand and raised it up: "Look at our hands? My sister knows the sister Banxia who was served by my wife who was married last year, right? Do you know what her hands look like now? They are full of calluses! During the day, she was How leisurely and happy it is to serve in front of my wife, a second-class girl. But what about after marriage? After giving birth to a child, doing housework, and going back to work for a living, even if you have a reward from your wife, you must plan carefully and use it carefully. The first time I saw her, she was a few years older!" Linglong shook her head and said firmly, "I swore at that time that I would never live that kind of life, I, absolutely, never become like her!" Her eyes flickered She fixed her eyes on Yin Hong, "I know that my sister is sent by my wife, and I know that my sister is very smart, but there is one thing, a sister should make it clear to her." Looking at the jewelry box, "Just look From these things, it can be seen that the uncle treats me with the utmost care. Seeing that my dream is about to come true, I will never allow anyone to destroy it! I gave my sister a hairpin today, hoping that my sister can help her One hand, open your eyes and close your eyes, even if it has helped me a lot."

When she approached her, her tone changed again, with a cold face, and she sneered: "If my sister is not willing, the uncle may not see me being punished, but when the time comes, I, as an older sister, will have to say a few words about my sister in front of the uncle. ...Sister Yinhong, you don't want to do this either, do you?"

The silver-red face was already ugly, but Linglong laughed again, rummaged through the box, picked out a water-colored emerald bracelet, and put it on the silver-red wrist: "Your sister has such a good color, it should be It’s right to bring such a good thing. But it’s a pity that I suffer from the smoke in the kitchen every day. It’s a pity~~ I just hope that my sister can understand and understand me, otherwise, my sister can only go to the uncle. "

Yinhong looked at the bracelet on her wrist, looked at Linglong who was threatening, and was puzzled: "Are you not afraid that I will go to grandma?"

Linglong chuckled softly: "Grandma is the most virtuous, as long as the uncle has a heart, I may not be able to do anything... Of course, it's hard for me to say it to my sister..."

What a big girl who plays hard and soft, who used to be an equal, now Linglong uses Jia She to suppress Yinhong, but she can't resist, just like Linglong said, she has Jia She backing her back, so maybe something will happen, But if Jia She really wanted to punish Yinhong, she would definitely die~~ Forced to bend the corners of her mouth, Yinhong tried her best to suppress the trace of resentment and unwillingness in her heart, and said: "Sister Linglong, don't worry, my whole family is in the house." Well, what should be said and what should not be said, I understand in my heart."

Linglong laughed heartily: "That's right~" She dug out another pair of jade earrings from the box and handed them to Yinhong, "This style is also very suitable for my sister..."

Not long after, Qing'er in front came to call Linglong, saying that it was Jia Hu who called her, Linglong left first, and Yinhong walked in the garden full of resentment, while Jia Zheng and the boy turned the corner and walked to Rongxi hall, all dressed in clothes. Lingluo is handsome and gentle, even if her back is tall and straight, Yinhong touched the bracelet that Linglong had put on her on her wrist, never in her heart was she so unwilling like this moment...
