The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 130 Five

From now on, besides Xichun, who often comes to play, Daiyu has a little tail behind her.

Originally, it was just Xichun who stayed at Daiyu's place every day because she liked to be quiet, but now she has a second eldest granddaughter.It's nothing else, the immediate effect is that Xichun's little days are nourished all of a sudden.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that Daiyu abused Xichun or anything. In fact, Xichun herself felt how happy she was with her sister Lin, but it was just a little inconvenient in daily life.

Daiyu is in Xiaoli, and she attaches great importance to filial piety, so there are many taboos.For example, clothing and dressing should be avoided at any rate. After all, a guest cannot violate the taboo of the host, but a light diet is always unavoidable.Because of Li Wan's thoughtfulness and because he saw Jia's mother's love for Daiyu, the masters of the family have specially instructed the cook, and they only said that the cousin's diet must be light and clean, that is, not even a drop of meat oil is allowed. of.Daiyu is living in Xiaoli, and because of this incident, she feels that her cousin is considerate, but she feels sorry for Xichun and cannot help but accompany Daiyu to become a vegetarian.

This respectful vegetarian is completely different from the greasy food in daily life and wants to eat light food. How can a family like Jia’s who need many chickens to make eggplant really produce light food? girl.At the beginning, eating such a light diet for a day or two can still be regarded as fresh, but after eating for a long time, it is inevitable to want to eat something delicious.

Of course, Xichun also has her own daily meal plan, so she doesn't have to rub against Daiyu.It's just that under normal circumstances, when the whole family doesn't have to eat together, her share is sent to the room where the sisters live together, and it's not convenient for her to order people around, so she can only make do with Tong Dai. Yu became a vegetarian together.

Although Xichun is a master at any rate, the servants of Jia's family are used to belittled and exalted, and a pair of sharp eyes can best see whether the master is favored or not.For a girl like Xichun who has no confidence and is not very favored, unless she is willing to give away some money, those second-tier masters cannot be manipulated by Xichun, a fourth girl who is not very favored-not to mention just exchanging meals It wouldn't be too much trouble to bring Daiyu's meals here. Because Daiyu's meals are light and less dusty, many of them are made in Jiamu's small kitchen alone, and Xichun is not there. The qualifications to cook in the small kitchen, the big kitchen is too lazy to go just for the fourth girl, not to mention that everyone knows that the fourth girl is the only girl in Ningguo Mansion, different from the second girl and the third girl is really poor. In fact, the girl has a lot of personal things in her hands, who would let go of the opportunity to make money.

Xichun is also a little arrogant, controlling her monthly allowances of gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, etc. For the sake of Ningguo Mansion, no one dares to do anything, so she simply ignores her regular meals Now, I only asked Sister Lin to stay with her for a while, just to live with Daiyu's food, and sometimes she just rested at Daiyu's place at night and didn't go back.And even though she didn't eat, and she didn't want to let the kitchen take advantage of her to save her hard work, the meals were still delivered every day, and she only asked Ru Hua to distribute all her share to the maids in her room.

No matter how tough Xichun played, it was always a fact that she was run over by the servants of Jia's mansion.Fortunately, in Jia's mansion, decency is very important. Even though Daiyu is keeping a filial piety at the moment, she has a list of vegetarians, because Jia's mother made it clear that the chariots and horses dote on Daiyu, and the meals here are always exquisite and decent. Vegetarian dishes also cost a lot, even if there is an extra Xichun to eat, I can't eat it.

Although the food is not bad, but because Lin Daiyu's eating habits follow the southern rules, this light vegetarian food is in line with her spleen and stomach habits.And Xichun ate a lot with the diet of Jia's thick oil and red sauce, but in fact she didn't like Daiyu's regular dishes.But Xichun also knows the seriousness, even if he is not used to eating, he doesn't say anything, but when the eldest sister comes, Xichun will inevitably still be very happy to eat.

She also stays here often with Daiyu, no more aggrieved than Xichun, since the eldest sister has a pair of powerful parents, no one dares to make her feel uncomfortable.Jia Zhu, as the eldest son of the Second Household and a dignified court official, naturally deserves to be respected. Although Sister Feng is not the housekeeper and grandma of the Jia family, but because Li Wan is a little less capable, she is not completely powerless now. Yes, even for the respectable people in front of the elders like Lai Momo or Zhou Rui's family, you have to respect a little bit. For example, the ordinary stewards and nuns in the kitchen can only try their best to please Sister Feng.

This time in the kitchen, I heard that Sister Feng sent her daughter to Miss Lin to stay there. After confirming with Wang Xifeng in a hurry, I sent my sister's daily rations all at once. I really didn't dare to delay at all. He was afraid that Wang Xifeng would feel uncomfortable if his sister was neglected, and then she would take away her own errand.

Ordinarily there is such a stark contrast, but Fan Xichun is a little cautious, and it is always easy to feel a little alienated from the elder sister.Fortunately, although Xichun is cold-hearted, she has a clear love and hate. She knows in her heart that this servant of the Jia family has always had the habit of stepping on the low and flattering the high, so she won't be angry with her niece and daughter for this, and even has a lot of taste for her sister. I was quite happy with the meal.

Xichun is the youngest girl in her generation, and she usually only hangs out with her older sisters. Although Wang Xifeng's sister is considered to be her niece, there is no difference in age between the two of them. The person who took care of the younger brother was very sensible even though he was young, and the aunt and nephew were also happy to get along.

----split line----

Probably because there were no suitable educated people to enlighten the child when she was with Sister Feng. The eldest sister really had no foundation in learning, and the six-year-old girl could only recognize a few words.Not to mention Daiyu who had received meticulous education in the Lin family, even Xichun's knowledge was enough to teach her.

However, although Wang Xifeng is illiterate, she is also a smart person by nature. It's just that when she was young, the Wang family didn't pay attention to teaching her daughter to read and write. In addition, her sister has Jia Zhu, a father who is very good at reading. He is extremely studious and intelligent, and is not difficult to teach.

The sage said that a teacher should teach without distinction. Although Daiyu is not a sage, nor is she picky, but people always have partiality. No matter how good-tempered Daiyu is, she still prefers smart students. But very pleasing.It was Xichun who watched from the sidelines that being a little teacher was very interesting, and not only became intimate with Daiyu, but also occasionally taught her sister calligraphy and painting by herself.

Xichun seems to be naturally sharper than ordinary people in terms of shades of color, light and shadow. Regardless of how many years she is younger than Daiyu, she is slightly better than Daiyu in terms of painting skills. Although it is definitely not what you call it everyone Yes, but there is always the ability to teach people, not to mention the eldest sister, even Daiyu is willing to learn from Xichun.

Coupled with Yingchun who is pulled over by Xichun from time to time to join in the fun, Daiyu's room has almost become a gathering place for several girls.Especially after a while, when Wang Xifeng somehow coaxed Li Wan to bring her daughter here, Daiyu's place became even more lively.

As for Tanchun, the only third girl in the Jia family who was pulled down by this small party—she is busy making shoes and clothes for her brother Baoyu at the moment. Excluded from this party.

As a concubine with a powerful aunt, Tanchun can't get around Mrs. Wang if she wants to get ahead.If Tanchun didn't have any aunts and brothers, or if her aunts and brothers could honestly make the aunt feel more comfortable, Tanchun's life would probably be easier.However, Aunt Zhao is a character who wants to show her presence from time to time. She often stays away from Mrs. Wang, and Jia Huan is also taught by Aunt Zhao to always look for Baoyu. Ta is just a clown, but just looking at their behavior, it is strange that Mrs. Wang can see them pleasing to the eye.With such aunts and brothers, no matter how hard Tanchun works, they will wear down the best part of her life.

So for the sake of his own future, Tanchun must seize every opportunity to get a good impression now.

The son of Mrs. Wang's two direct relatives.Jia Zhu is already married and has children. Even if Tanchun is his own sister, he can't be too attentive. The children in his family are not very old. What's more, although these children are close to Mrs. Wang, they are not very intimate. limited.Although Baoyu is not young anymore, she is the darling of Jiamu, and the old son born by Mrs. Wang in middle age, and she is always very fond of him. The concubine doesn't have much feeling, it's not too difficult to please.

Baoyu had a habit by nature, he didn't like to wear clothes and shoes made by outsiders, no matter how precious the material was, he always felt that outsiders made it unclean, and he had to wear clothes made by girls close to him to feel comfortable.When he was young, that was all. As he got older, he needed to dress more delicately. Tanchun or Xiangyun, a historian who often came to visit his house, would often be asked to do the work that the girls around him couldn't finish.

Half a month before Daiyu came to the house, Historian Lord Hou found a job vacancy and took all the children of the family with him. In the end, Mother Jia was concerned about her reputation and didn't let Xiangyun stay in Beijing because of her reputation. She only let her go out of Beijing with the Shi family.

With one less person able to do work, wouldn't Tanchun be even busier? She was so devoted to pleasing people that she refused to say that she couldn't do these things, so she had to work hard every day, and she didn't notice the situation of Jia's family for a while. changes.
