[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

On October [-]th, everyone went to pay their respects to Jia Mu as usual.Because Aunt Xue is a guest and an elder, the first chair on the lower left of Jia Mu belongs to her, the one on the opposite right is Mrs. Xing, and the second from the left belongs to Mrs. Wang.

Among the juniors, Lin Daiyu is the granddaughter of Jia Mu, and her father is a high-ranking official, so she is the second chair from the right, which is under Mrs. Xing.Shi Xiangyun's status is second only to Lin Daiyu, so she sits third from the left, below Mrs. Wang.Then Lin Daiyu's lower head and third right hand is Xue Baochai.Although Third Sister You is the younger sister of Second Sister You and comes from a poor family, she is not as good as Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, but she is also a guest after all, so she sits under Shi Xiangyun, which is the fourth chair from the left.

Next down, there are three sisters, Jia Yan and Tanchun Xichun, who are the fourth from the right, the fifth from the left, and the fifth from the right.

As for Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, because they are daughters-in-law, and they are also the third-generation daughter-in-laws, they have never had a place to stand before Jiamu.Even if Li Wan and Wang Xifeng were like this, as Jia Lian's concubines, Second Sister You and Yan Biju could only stand in the corner.

In addition, there is an embroidered pier next to Jiamu, which is for the two female officials of Fengyi.Unless there is a major event, Jia Yan will only bring a female official of Fengyi to Jiamu's side.

Normally, everyone sits like this.But Shi Xiangyun likes to act like a baby, so whether Jia Baoyu is there or not, she always likes to sit next to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia also likes her laughing and troublesome temperament, but compared to Lin Daiyu, the only flesh and blood left by her own daughter, Shi Xiangyun is naturally inferior.Although Shi Xiangyun secretly didn't like Lin Daiyu, he didn't dare to do anything wrong in front of Jia's mother, for fear of making Jia's mother unhappy.

As for Lin Daiyu, if Jia Baoyu was not in front of Jiamu, she would be happy to sit next to Jiamu, but when Jia Baoyu was beside Jiamu, she would definitely sit under Mrs. Xing.

If it is in the original book, she is alone and helpless, Jia Baoyu loves to cling, and there is no one to help her, she can only accept Jia's mother's arrangement.But now, she has Lin Ruhai far away and Jia Amnesty as her backing, and Mrs. Xing and Jia Yan are in front of her to help her. After several times, Jia's mother is not reluctant and acquiesced in her choice.

This actually changed Mrs. Wang's opinion of her a lot.

Mrs. Wang can be regarded as seeing that Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu are right, it is Jia's mother's wishful thinking, and it is also because Jia Baoyu likes this girl's good looks, this Lin girl is a clean person.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang is not as dissatisfied with Lin Daiyu as in the original book.Brothers and sisters from wealthy families think about their marriages early. Although Jia Baoyu is only eight or nine years old, Mrs. Wang has already begun to worry about the future.

From Mrs. Wang's point of view, among Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Xue Baochai, it is obvious that Lin Daiyu has the highest status, the most powerful father, and the most generous dowry in the future.For the sake of the huge dowry, Mrs. Wang would not refuse such a daughter-in-law.It's just that the girl's body looks a little thin, and the Lin family has been passed down for several generations, so it's a bit difficult for her to be an heir.This is a big minus item.Fortunately, Jia Baoyu is still young, so this matter can be settled slowly.

As for Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, Mrs. Wang would never include these two in Jia Baoyu's candidates for the royal family.

Lin Daiyu didn't know that she had inadvertently passed the first step of Mrs. Wang's selection of a daughter-in-law.

But after Shi Xiangyun discovered Lin Daiyu's huge influence on Jia Baoyu, he also discovered that Mrs. Wang's sense of Lin Daiyu seemed to be pretty good!

Don't underestimate the keenness of a child like Shi Xiangyun whose parents died since childhood.It is almost instinctive for Shi Xiangyun to observe words and demeanor.Not to mention that she had thought about marrying Jia Baoyu since she was very young, so she felt even worse about Lin Daiyu.

Even if she was sitting next to Jia Mu, she was not happy to see Mrs. Xing, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Jia Yanxichun sitting in turn.

Therefore, everyone sat down happily that day, and heard Shi Xiangyun sitting beside Jia Mu, saying: "Old lady, have you heard? Yesterday, the second elder brother Lian bullied sister Feng again."

Jiamu paused, then sighed, and said, "Let's make trouble. I don't want to care about their young couple's business anymore."

Wang Xifeng who was standing below turned pale.Among all of you present, some were taken aback, while some had a flash of understanding on their faces.

Shi Xiangyun said quickly: "If you want me to say, the Eldest Master is really true. If he hadn't handed over the matter here to Sister-in-law Zhen and Rong's daughter-in-law in the East Mansion, how would anyone outside dare to despise Sister Feng so much?"

Shi Xiangyun and Jia Lian were quite different in age. She often saw Wang Xifeng in front of Jia's mother, but she never met Jia Lian a few times.

What's more, in her heart, Wang Xifeng is a weak woman, Jia She is confused and Jia Lian is useless, and she has no ability to turn around outside but the whole family unites to bully her sister Feng, of course she can't see her.

Of course, in the eyes of caring people, it may be that she did not intend to please Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang twirled the [-]-zi bracelet on her wrist, and said, "Old lady, although girl Yun is young, what she said is reasonable. The old man is also true. There are wives and daughter-in-laws in the family, and this family matter must be troublesome." Outside. It's really not like it."

Mrs. Xing heard that she immediately stood up, lowered her hands, and said: "Old lady, I can't blame the master for this matter. Who told me to be stupid? When I first entered the door last year, I also managed it for two months. A bunch of things. At that time, the old lady said that I would never be the housekeeper again."

Where is Mrs. Xing being stupid? In fact, everyone in the Jia family knows that Mrs. Wang secretly plotted against Mrs. Xing in order to prevent Mrs. Xing from gaining power.It can be said that in the following five or six years, from the time when Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian formally got engaged and took the six ceremonies, and later, before Jia Yan got up, Mrs. Xing was in Jia's house, and she had no face in front of Jia's mother, but it was all Mrs. Wang's handwriting. .

Now, Mrs. Xing used what Jia Mu said to block Mrs. Wang's mouth, so why not remind Jia Mu of the role of Mrs. Wang here?

Mrs. Xing said: "As for Feng girl, the master said that this niece is like a aunt. If Feng girl also learns from her younger siblings, porridge officials and nobles take over the lawsuit and release usury, then Lian'er's future will be over. The master would rather bear the name of being confused. My son also hopes that the family can be safe and sound, and everything is going well.”

Who said Mrs. Xing can't speak?These few words were actually slapped on the faces of Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng.

Not to mention Mrs. Wang, who was reprimanded by the palace decree, but Wang Xifeng, who made the father-in-law so distrustful, who is to blame?

Mrs. Wang's complexion suddenly turned livid.

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I think the Junjun is getting older, and it's time to learn these things."

When Jia Yan heard it, she immediately laughed: "Look at what you said, which girl surpassed her mother and sister-in-law's housekeeper? The outside world knows, so why don't you talk about it behind your back?"

"What about after that? When you enter the palace, don't you learn?"

"The empress is here. Not to mention, there are rules and regulations in the palace, so what do I need to worry about? I just need to be responsible for being beautiful and beautiful."

Mother Jia also laughed: "Concubine, don't look at our second girl, she has big ideas. Once she makes up her mind, even I am useless. Let's not care about them. Anyway, this is the old family's business. Boss, that bastard, if he likes to toss it up to the sky, let him. Let's wipe us and go with the dominoes!"

Mother Jia is getting old and loves to wipe dominoes the most. Where is Aunt Xue?Their Xue family has nothing else, but the money lost to Jiamu is more than enough.

Accompanied by Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing happened to be at the same table.

In the past, Mrs. Xing would definitely not have dared to play cards with Jia's mother, but now Jia Yan has 3000 taels of entertainment silver every quarter in addition to the monthly money.Jia Yan simply paid Mrs. Xing's expenses on Jiamu's card table from here.

But even so, Mrs. Xing did not dare to lose too much.If she loses to Mother Jia, she will definitely get it back from Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.

She may not dare to win Jia Mu, but she is not guilty at all of winning Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.

Therefore, after Aunt Xue came, the one who lost the most cards with Mother Jia every time was definitely Aunt Xue.As for Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, they both lose more and win less, and each depends on their means and luck.

Only Mother Jia, she played cards purely for fun and to pass the time, so she didn't feel bad if she lost, and if she won, she gave the money to the girls who waited on her side.

This is also one of the important reasons why the maids in her house are paid extraordinarily well and work comfortably.

Mother Jia took Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing to play cards by herself. Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and Second Sister You Yan Biju naturally had to wait on them. Jia Yan and other juniors simply went to the side hall in front to talk.

Third Sister You figured that she had already told her elder sister what she had learned from Lin Daiyu, and her elder sister had also told her brother-in-law, so she might as well spread the word now.Therefore, seeing that Lin Daiyu had no intention of opening her mouth, she chose the most important thing to say, and then said: "...I didn't think about this before, but now I realize that I was the one who was frivolous in the past, and I didn't even know about this."

Shi Xiangyun said: "But sister Bao told you?"

Jia Yan said: "It's not Sister Bao. If you want me to say, it must be Sister Lin."

The sisters quickly asked why.

Jia Yan said, "To know this, you must have been exposed to it since childhood. Apart from Sister Lin, there are only me and Sister Shi."

Shi Xiangyun said: "Second sister, why don't you say sister Bao?"

Jia Yan didn't want to talk about it at first, but today Shi Xiangyun really didn't know what to do. He just mentioned their inner house and family affairs, and now he mentioned Xue Baochai, and said immediately: "Sister Bao and Aunt Yan are indeed people who might know, but Yan My aunt's house is in the south, so she won't be so clear about the affairs of the capital and the officialdom. As for Sister Bao," Jia Yan paused at this point, and said, "You are so worried about the country and the people. Sister Lin is the only one who takes her actions into consideration."

When Xue Baochai heard this, her face became hot.

She immediately remembered the case from the previous year.Jia Yan would pause so suspiciously, isn't she talking about her brother Xue Pan's case?

How could a family who killed the squire and left without taking human life seriously have any compassion for the people?

Although Jia Yan didn't speak very clearly, her tone and gesture told everyone clearly that Xue Baochai and the Xue family were not worthy to be compared with Lin Daiyu and the Lin family at all!

Although the words came from Jia Yan, how could Xue Baochai dare to be angry with Jia Yan?She didn't even dare to offend Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun, let alone Jia Yan?

She could only sit with a dignified posture.
