[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

Liu Quan brought a young woman to He Shen.

The woman is tall and has a pretty face, but she is wearing clothes that don't fit well.

Liu Quan bowed and said, "Her name is Lan'er."

It was the first time for Lan'er to see someone like He Shen, so she couldn't help being a little nervous, she shook hands in a panic, and called out in a low voice: "Master."

"Do you know what you're going to do?"

"I know." Lan'er whispered, "It's to serve the patient and make him take medicine on time..."

He Shen nodded: "I don't care what method you use, you must make him obey you in this matter."

Lan'er blushed and responded.

"You can only be a maidservant if you follow him... you won't get any title." He Shen's voice sounded again, a little cold.

Lan'er nodded vigorously: "I know."

"I have asked Liu Quan to give the money to your family." He Shen paused, then took out another money bag and threw it to Lan'er, "This is yours. If you do well in the future, there will only be more money, not less money." .”

Lan'er nodded her head harder, her face full of gratitude.

He Shen turned his gaze on her and said in a deep voice, "You need to become more aggressive."

Lan'er froze for a moment, then hurriedly nodded again.

"After packing up, let's set off." He Shen saw that the point was in place, so he didn't say any more.

The servant at the side escorted Na Lan'er out.

The carriage to the pier is already waiting at the door, Laner will go to the pier, and then go to Yangzhou by water.

She is the person He Shen wants to be by Lin Ruhai's side.

A few days ago, Yangzhou wrote back that Lin Ruhai was really sick, but he still couldn't let go of his official duties and always forgot to take his medicine.

This procrastination made him seriously ill.

Lan'er was specially selected by Liu Quan.Her family used to be a wealthy family, but later the family fell into poverty.Lan'er is the eldest daughter in the family, she can take care of others, and she has more temperament than ordinary girls from poor families.

He Shen felt that it was most appropriate to keep this person by Lin Ruhai's side.

Lin Ruhai is a gentleman, he takes himself very lightly, but often takes others more seriously.The servants of the Lin family didn't dare to persuade Lin Ruhai, but Lan'er dared, and Lin Ruhai couldn't help but slap Lan'er in the face, so he had to agree to Lan'er's words.

At this time, Liu Quan saw the careless expression on his master's face, and he couldn't help asking: "Master, why bother?"

He Shen pushed away the official document on the table, and said calmly: "If he is still saved, he should live two or three years longer just for Daiyu."

After all, he didn't hold enough weight in Daiyu's heart.

For Yu Daiyu, parents are the most important thing.When Jia Min left, Daiyu fell ill.Then when Lin Ruhai left, if she thought that she had no one to rely on, wouldn't she be even more ill?

After two or three years, it doesn't matter how much Lin Ruhai doesn't cherish his body.If Lin Ruhai died, Daiyu already had a deep friendship with him, and if she had something to rely on, the grief in her heart would be much less.

"Did the Lian family send something again?" He Shen turned to ask Liu Quan.

Liu Quan nodded.

"He's a smart one. Let me have a look. I've been free for the past two days, and it's time to make a box head ointment for Daiyu..."

Liu Quan clicked his tongue and was speechless for a while.

In the past, many people secretly lamented that the master was ruthless.

But now, Liu Quan feels that the master is even more terrifying when he is passionate.

To make these things, you must first wash the fresh flowers you pick, and then crush them one by one before mixing them in.

That's how it smells.

The flowers are picked by the maids, and they are also washed.

But after putting them in the basket, He Shen slowly crushed them one by one.

The slender and white fingers were stained with flower juice, but they didn't care about it at all.

Liu Quan stared at the master's hands, and then at the master's expression.

As if doing something great.

But in fact... it's just a hair cream.

Liu Quan sighed in his heart, then quietly closed the door and waited outside.

It has been less than half a month since Lingyue married into the Rongguo Mansion.

It was also at this time that Lingyue knew that there was a first-class girl in Baoyu's room who was pregnant with Baoyu's child.

She just got married, Lingyue's arrogant temper, how can she bear this crime.She immediately brought a dowry maid and two women came to the door.

Xiren has been recuperating for a few months, and Mrs. Wang did not treat her badly, providing food and drink for her all day long.What's more, Baoyu felt so guilty that he always came to see her.

Naturally, a period of rich and honorful days were served by people.

That face is getting more and more beautiful.

Those raised with real gold and silver, even have a higher temperament than before.

Xiren was supposed to act properly and generously, and always put on an air of gentleness, intelligence and sense of proportion.She had already had skin-to-skin contact with Baoyu, and now she looked like a newly married young woman.

When Lingyue stood in that room, she was actually treated like an ignorant girl.

Lingyue couldn't help but clenched her palms tightly.

Sneered: "I don't know, I still think of her as a serious new grandma."

Xiren knew about Baoyu's marriage, and she was very clear about her own position. Knowing that a slave girl was trying her best to climb up, she could only be an aunt.

But that's enough.

No matter who Baoyu married, as long as that person was not jealous and could not tolerate concubines, Xiren would ignore him.

Then Lingyue appeared.

Xiren leaned on the edge of the bed and sat up, looking at the newlywed's attire, grand and rich, with hairpin rings on her head, and following her movements, she made jingling sounds, every sound, aroused jealousy in Xi's heart .

Why.

Why did she ruthlessly sacrifice so much, but only got such a chance...

Lingyue raised her hand and pulled Xiren off the bed, and the maid beside her screamed in fright.

Just at this time Baoyu came.

Seeing that Xiren fell to the ground, his face was pale, Lingyue was still high above, with an arrogant expression, Baoyu blushed with anger, and he rushed in with a stride.

"I didn't expect that there are such vicious people as you among the women in the world?" Baoyu pointed at Lingyue, her hands trembling.

The attacker hurriedly stopped Baoyu: "Second Master Bao, don't be impatient, talk to Second Mistress."

Although Lingyue may not be very smart, she also knew that Mrs. Wang would not like her if she had a fight with Baoyu at this time.The lady of the Lin'an Bofu once told her thousands of times that she had just got married, so she should not act recklessly like a girl in the future...

But where is there any future?

Lingyue was even more upset in her heart: "Pull her up for me." She pointed at Xiren and said.

Of course the dowry maid listened to her and rushed forward.

Anyway, Lingyue used to have this temperament, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

How could Baoyu agree? He used to be the devil king of the family, and he wouldn't change even if he became a relative.

Baoyu stands in front, and Lingyue insists on teaching Xiren a lesson.

There was chaos in the room.

The news of the maids and women reached Mrs. Wang's ears.

Raiders are more afraid.

When a couple is newly married, suddenly they are not harmonious or even fight, it is naturally not the fault of the couple, it is only their fault.

There was a fight here, and the servants were stunned and did not dare to spread the word.It's not easy for Lingyue to let Mrs. Wang know that she beat her son, so she also restrained the people below her, not to speak out.

It's just that after going back, Lingyue didn't feel any pleasure in her chest, but became more and more blocked.

What kind of life did she live?

What kind of life did Lin Daiyu live?

Lingyue lay down for a whole day, feeling weak all over.On the second day, Lingyue called the maid.

"Didn't you bring new clothes and jewelry? Dress me up."

It was summer, and the house was inevitably hot and stuffy. Even if there were maids and servants shaking fans, the sweat soaked through the back.

The girls couldn't bear to stay in the house, so they made an appointment to take a rest in the pavilion, taking advantage of the shade, blowing the wind under the trees, and placed refreshments and fruits in front of them, all of which were rare things...

Ben was very uncomfortable.

Far away, I heard footsteps approaching.

Few people come here, and there are only a few young girls in the mansion on weekdays, but recently because of Baoyu's happy event, the mansion is busy, and the maids and mother-in-law have no leisure time.

"Who's here?" Tanchun tilted his head, and leaned out half of his body to look.

Seeing this, her complexion is not very good-looking.

"I don't know who it is, it turned out to be her."

As Tanchun's words fell, the group of people also approached.

Lingyue brought a few maidservants with her, and at first glance, it seemed a bit majestic.

When she got closer, she heard a burst of laughter saying: "Hello, sisters."

Tanchun smiled and pointed to Yingchun and Baochai: "I should call my sister."

Lingyue's face changed slightly, unexpectedly, she was humiliated, and she didn't even know her seniority.

Where Lingyue was willing to call out "sister", she turned her head and passed away vaguely.

"Put your things here too, and I'll take a look at the scenery here too." Lingyue pointed to the table in the pavilion, and she really seemed to regard herself as the master.

A few servant girls hurriedly put down the food, and spread the stool with felt.

Daiyu laughed lightly: "It's not too hot."

Lingyue froze when she sat down.

Lingyue held onto the table, and glanced over the girls in front of her, especially Yingchun, Xichun, and Baochao.

Yingchun and Xichun wear ordinary clothes in the mansion, not as good as Tanchun or Daiyu.But Baochao doesn't like to dress up, and the clothes he wears don't care whether they are old or new.

Lingyue is different.

She had just married into the Rongguo Mansion, and her food and clothing expenses were a head higher than Sanchun's.

At this time, she looked down on Daiyu, and naturally she also looked down on Sanchun, so she felt ridiculed.

Lingyue combed a woman's bun today, with hairpin rings all over her head, what kind of gold butterfly flower hairpin, silk bead hairpin, and silver gilt dots and emerald greens on her forehead.

He is wearing a brocade robe with Bixia cloud pattern on his body.

There are also several waist accessories.

The clothes are rich and noble, but she is young, and she does not have a graceful appearance. When she lifts her chin, she looks arrogant, but it is completely nondescript.

Daiyu felt that the Lin family was far inferior to the Rongguo Mansion, but after seeing Lingyue's attire, she couldn't help but feel that her eyes were tired.

Such taste.

Where does it look like it came from Lin'anbo Mansion?

Compared with Rongguo Mansion, it is really different.

Sanchun's clothes are not very rich, but they are all well-dressed, with a slender figure and fit, and there are not too many hairpins and rings on her head.

Whether it is grand or plain, it is beautiful.

Lingyue didn't know what Daiyu was thinking at this time, she pointed to Baochai and said, "Why are you still wearing old clothes? Didn't the mansion make new clothes for you?"

Baochai said lightly, "I don't like wearing these."

Lingyue thought her mouth was stubborn, so she turned her head to look at Yingchun again: "What is Yingchun wearing?"

Yingchun felt uncomfortable, but she didn't want to tear Lingyue's face, so she asked, "What is my sister wearing?"

Lingyue finally waited for what she wanted, and then smiled and said: "The new clothes my mother just made for me are Suzhou Song Brocade..."

Baochai said lightly: "Is the hood covered with light gauze?"

Who here is not raised by a wealthy family?No matter how ordinary Sanchun's food and clothing are, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.Lingyue's behavior made it look like they couldn't see it with their stupid eyes.

Lingyue never put Baochai and Daiyu in her heart.

Of these two, one had a dead father and the other had a dead mother.

But relying on the roof of the Rongguo Mansion to live.

Lin Daiyu had some good luck, and unexpectedly bumped into He Shen.But that Xue Baochai has nothing, just being a merchant's girl makes people look down on her.

Lingyue laughed out loud, and said: "It turns out Miss Xue knows these things."

Daiyu just thought it was funny when she heard the words.

When she didn't like Baochai very much, she never looked down on Baochai.Baochai has a wide range of knowledge and vision, not to mention that she is not an ordinary merchant girl, but the Xue family still bears the name of an imperial merchant anyway.

Daiyu said, "Didn't Sister Bao bring me a box of Qingrong gauze a few days ago?"

Lingyue's eyelids twitched, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

Daiyu is not an easy-going temperament, she raised her hand to cover her lips and smiled: "I let Xueyan use it to paste the windows."

After that, she added another sentence: "Sister Bao is used to these things, and she is not unusual at all, so I followed suit."

Lingyue's neck turned red with anger.

Even the hairpin on his head shook.

Baochai doesn't like to offend people.

She is exquisite in all aspects and treats everyone well.But she is not the one who is bullied by others and still smiles.

Baochai took Daiyu's hand, snatched the handkerchief from her hand, and said, "If you really thank me, why not give me your handkerchief. This is the material for weaving gold makeup and flowers."

Lingyue has shallow eyelids, but she has heard of Zhijin Hualuo before.

Her eyelids twitched, and she said: "What jokes are you talking about, the gold-weaving Hua Luo Nai is the one who specializes in weaving dragon and phoenix robes in the palace... how can she get it..."

But at this point, Lingyue's voice stopped abruptly, followed by a slightly distorted face.

Yes.

Daiyu couldn't get it.

But He Shen can get it!

With the current love for Heshen, what can't be given?

In the front, countless women's jewelry and jewelry were given, and in the back, Ruyi eagle and deer were given, and in the end, the mothers around the queen mother were given... What, what can't be given?

This time, the dark hatred in Lingyue's heart was hooked.

The three letters and six ceremonies that talk about relatives, the six ceremonies must be presented with eagles and deer.

It is difficult for ordinary people to find deer, so they use deerskin instead.It was like this when Lingyue married into the family, and the Rongguo Mansion didn't have so much leisure to hunt for deer.

But what about Daiyu's?But it was taken from the imperial palace, the eagle and red deer raised by the emperor.

Then it's not unusual for him to get a material made of golden makeup flowers to make a veil for Daiyu.

Lingyue's secretly jealous eyes fell on Daiyu.

At this time, Tanchun couldn't help but said: "Sister Lin's clothes are newly made, right? I heard from Sister Feng that they are specially made from Shu brocade."

The clothes on Daiyu were indeed newly made, Mrs. Wang treats her like her own daughter now, I am afraid that one thing has neglected her.

What she is wearing today is a honey-colored embroidered magnolia long dress, and a silver-red gold thread buckle bijia on the outside.

Appropriate shade.

Full of extravagance, without losing the girlishness.

Just like the delicate flowers sprinkled with golden light in that morning.

Shu brocade is blended with gold thread, and the chapters are beautiful.

The workmanship is precious and meticulous, visible to the naked eye.

Lingyue's appearance is no better than Daiyu's, and her temperament is much worse. Now that the two dresses are put together, the distance between them is even greater.

Lingyue is like a girl from a wealthy family, wearing gold and silver, but she can't suppress her aura of wealth, as if she stole someone else's gold jewelry and put it on her body.

Daiyu already has good taste and a fairy-like temperament, and she has been trained by Nanny Li, and now she is even more noble and powerful.She looked like a born daughter of the rich and powerful.

The more Lingyue compares, the more uncomfortable she feels in her heart.

She originally wanted to dress up well, take on the posture of a new grandma, and put these young girls down.

Now it has been suppressed.

Daiyu didn't bother to talk to her anymore.

If Lingyue wants to see her jokes from the perspective of food and clothing, then she is really delusional.

Now that Tanchun finally vented his anger, he naturally wouldn't give up so easily.

Tanchun twisted a piece of pastry and brought it to Daiyu's lips: "Sister Lin, try this..."

Seeing this, Lingyue showed disgust.

She can't tolerate anyone feeding her.

This box of Daiyu was about to bite off, but Tanchun stared at her lips, and suddenly said: "Sister Lin, is the lip balm that was sent that day?"

Daiyu didn't understand, so she nodded.

"Why does the rouge rubbed on the face look different from the past?"

"It was also sent by the waiter." Daiyu said.

She vaguely remembered that she had told Sanchun about this matter, and she also told them that the revolving lantern was made by He Shen himself.

Daiyu's eyes turned slightly, and she touched Lingyue beside her, and she saw Lingyue was biting her lip tightly, staring at Tanchun, as if she wanted to dig something out of her mouth.

Daiyu suddenly understood.

Tanchun is using Lingyue as a means to deliberately make Lingyue happy.

Daiyu didn't feel that she was a big-hearted person, and it was not rare for her to be a great person, and it was even rarer for everyone to praise her.

If you are unhappy, you shouldn't cover it.

Tanchun said again: "This is the only one in this world..." After finishing speaking, he sighed.

Lingyue laughed out loud when she heard the words: "Could it be that it was also sent from the palace? Even if it was sent from the palace, I'm afraid it's not the only one, right? I still found a shop with the servant, and the shop only Sell ​​something?"

Lingyue only thought that Tanchun's words were deliberately deceiving her.

Tanchun laughed again: "Why can't I be the only one? My sister-in-law has less experience."

Lingyue suppressed her anger: "Then tell me, why do I lack knowledge?"

Lin'anbo Mansion is not as rich and luxurious as Rongguo Mansion, but she has seen many good things.It was a mistake for her to mock them with Song Jin in this suit, but Daiyu was the best dressed among the girls.

But it was impossible for them to fool her.

"Sister-in-law didn't expect that those things were all made by the servant?"

"Impossible!" Lingyue said without even thinking about it, "How could it be possible for him...how could he be a dignified servant, how could he do the work of these lowly people?"

"How do you know that He Shilang treats our girls extremely well? Is it impossible if you say it's impossible? If you don't know, how can you know He Shilang well as a sister-in-law?"

Lingyue trembled with anger.

how can that be possible.

He is that kind of person, who doesn't touch the slightest bit of fireworks, how can he do such things?

Baochai opened his mouth slowly at this moment: "He and the servant have always been kind. I gave you jewelry and clothes, but I felt that it was not enough to express my affection. On my sister's birthday, I made a revolving lantern with my own hands and sent it..."

Tanchun was very happy at the moment, but he didn't want to shut up, so he laughed again: "Our brother is stubborn, and accidentally took the revolving lantern by mistake. He and the servant made another one and sent it... Sigh. Among the men in Beijing, I am afraid that there is no one who can compare with the friendship with the servant."

Lingyue clenched the veil tightly, dizzy for a while.

She was really angry.

She didn't dare to look at the gold-woven Luopa that Baochai was clutching, nor did she dare to look at Daiyu's bright and charming clothes.

Her eyes fell on Daiyu's face.

That lip balm is pretty.

It is more beautiful than the lip balm sold in all shops, and the lips are full of moisture no matter how you look at them.

Very shiny.

That rouge is also pretty.

Like the red clouds that are about to disperse in the sky.

It actually made her face much more beautiful.

how beautiful.

But why is someone else so beautiful.

Lingyue held the maid's hand, and stood up with a livid face.

If you haven't seen how He Shen treats others well, that's all.

But she met.

We also saw each other one by one.

How can I tell her not to be jealous?

"There are so many people in this pavilion that I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. Let's go back and have a rest, so we don't get into any bad luck." Lingyue managed to squeeze out such a sentence, taking it as a shame for herself.

The servant girl was terrified, and hurriedly supported Lingyue to go out.

Daiyu and the others sat in the pavilion, watching the hairpin on Lingyue's head jingling away...

"It's a sigh of relief!" Tanchun said, pulling the handkerchief in his hand.

She always followed Wang Xifeng, so she was more or less tainted with a bit of pungentness, and now she felt unhappy, but she didn't hide it, she just let it out.

Baochai raised her hand to return the handkerchief to Daiyu.

Daiyu smiled: "Let's give it to Sister Bao. Sister Bao will send me a box of light gauze some other day."

Tanchun asked, "What are you doing?"

"Paint the windows."

Yingchun was startled and said: "It turns out that Sister Lin lied to her just now."

Daiyu nodded.

Baochai held the handkerchief in her palm, and said with a smile, "But in the future, I won't be cheating. I'll paste a window for you tomorrow!"

Daiyu smiled and nodded, then lowered her head to eat the pastry again.

Just now, he was very angry with Lingyue, but now everyone is in a good mood, so he put Lingyue behind him.

Several people were chatting while eating melons and fruits.

The melon was soaked in ice, and it was cool to eat, but it was not easy to make ice, and the girls couldn't eat much at all, so they only took a few mouthfuls, wiped their hands, and knocked the melon seeds again.

The wind blows under the tree.

For a while, I forgot my worries.
