Daiyu of the Red Chamber has an uncle

Qin Muxue went to the front hall to meet Hongxiu and set off.

On the carriage, Hongxiu handed Lin Daiyu two pieces of paper, which listed in detail the situation of the Prince's Mansion in Dongping County, family members, etc. The format of the form was clear at a glance.

Lin Daiyu looked at this thing and kept it firmly in her heart before talking to her aunts. "There are a lot of people in this family, and there are more than a dozen members of the younger generation alone." Such a prosperous family is a bit enviable.

Hongxiu smiled, "I don't know if you're not in charge of the family. With such a number of people, the whole family will have a lot to eat. The king of Dongping County is famous for his buttons. The reason why he can hold this banquet is because he has a flower." She is the only one who can make a profit by selling flowers at the market.” The Princess of Dongping County is one of the few people in Jinling City who is interested in her, but it’s a pity that there are a lot of young people who are grandmothers. , but Hongxiu doesn't even have a child yet.

It is strange to say that Lin Mu has four wives, but he is almost middle-aged, but his knees are desolate.

"There are so many people, it doesn't matter if you have less money. It won't be enough to eat." Although Lin Daiyu is not a man of money, she is not a person who is proficient in common affairs. of.

Qin Muxue, who was listening on the side, seemed to have seen her previous self, raised in a deep boudoir, ignorant of the sufferings of the world, and felt that the sky was falling for even a small incident.Looking back now, I am full of emotion.The eyes that looked at Lin Daiyu were full of love and affection. Although Qin Muxue was not a few years older than Lin Daiyu, she was a generation behind and had different experiences. In comparison, she was much, much more mature.

"Okay, don't think about it blindly. You can control your uncle's ability. The family is not short of money. You can take care of other people. Besides, there is a cornucopia at home, and there will always be money to spend." Hongxiu is unwilling to pester this It doesn't make any sense, "Girls, although they don't need to go out to show their faces to earn money, but they also have to understand. Look at your Aunt Suying, even if she is a business girl, she can't help her. No one in the family looks at her highly." !"

"Yeah, next time you take care of your body, you should follow us and study hard." The housekeeper really needs to be taught. It's time to pick someone, don't rush, be more calm.

The recent topic can be talked about her marriage, Lin Daiyu lowered her head, unwilling to answer.

10. Make friends

"You are here, please come inside, mother is waiting inside!" Dongping County King's daughter-in-law Gao Shi stood at the second gate to welcome the guests. Seeing Hongxiu and Qin Muxue coming together, she greeted with a smile.But she knew that neither of these two people were short of money. The last time they came back to participate, they bought a lot of famous flowers and went back.

Hongxiu smiled reservedly, followed Gao Shi's hand, and saluted her, "How can I bother the princess to wait, let's go now, this is the niece of the prince, I brought her here to see the world, I hope you will take care of her " After finishing speaking in a few words, Gao nodded again and again, and the compliments flowed out like money.

Don't pass the Gao family, when you go inside, you happen to meet Niu Shi, the wife of Viscount Liu Fang, who is the descendant of Duke Li. Niu Shi is the descendant of Duke Zhen, so she can be considered to be from a famous family. Now Liu Fang is on duty in the Ministry of Rites. A great person, and Niu's waist is also straight.After the two met, Niu only talked to Hongxiu and made some insinuations. What he said was the way of wives and concubines. Qin Muxue was fine, and the expression of the woman behind Niu changed slightly.

Lin Daiyu didn't know what kind of lawsuit was going on here, so she just followed the two aunts inside.Behind Niu should be her daughter, a concubine and a concubine.In the final analysis, Jinling City still pays attention to the rules, and there are differences between concubines and concubines. Unless you are a person of great ability, otherwise, you have to be bound by these etiquette and customs.

"When you go in later, just follow this girl. See who she is with, and sit there." Qin Muxue secretly talked to Lin Daiyu. The first-class person and her social circle are also suitable for Lin Daiyu.

It's just that when Lin Daiyu arrived for the first time, Qin Muxue was a little worried, for fear that she would be bullied.

In the final analysis, these people are bullying and afraid of being tough. Only when Lin Mu stands up later can they have confidence in diplomacy.Then why Niu can be so stubborn, besides marrying a good husband, it is only because of her natal family.

Everyone in the world respects Luo Yi first and then others, so don't wait for the food to be eaten.There are no secrets in Jinling City. Things, big and small, are spread through the mouths of these people.

After entering the room, a room full of Yingying and Yanyan, warm fragrance came rushing towards her face, Lin Daiyu shivered, was taken aback for a moment, and then went in behind her aunts.

It was obviously not the first time that Hongxiu and these people had met, as soon as they came in, someone came to say hello.It's just that Hongxiu also knew the etiquette, and brought someone to greet the princess above, and introduced Lin Daiyu solemnly, before talking to other people.Lin Mu is an upstart in the court, and there are many people who are willing to come and make friends. For no other reason, the news must be inquired clearly. In addition to the outside affairs, the affairs of this house must also be gossip.

Jinling City has never been short of good people. When Hongxiu was dealing with the ladies in the house, Qin Muxue found someone and arranged to send Lin Daiyu to the gathering place of the ladies over there.It was still a bit cold in spring, and it was inconvenient to go outside, so the conservatory became a good place to go, with tables and chairs set up, gathering in twos and threes, tasting flowers and discussing poems, painting and playing music, it was quite a pleasure.

After entering, Lin Daiyu went around first, and slowly approached the crowd gathered by the girl from the Niu family, and after a while, she got mixed up at the edge.She, who has always been in the center, was slightly disappointed, turned her head, and began to admire the flowers.

Most of the flowers on the Prince's Mansion in Dongping County are grown in the greenhouse, and the flowering period is much earlier than the usual ones outside.The flowers in the room are all in bud, and the butterflies are dancing among the crowd. Such a beautiful scenery, without talking, just looking at it is pretty good.

It's just that someone noticed her soon. Speaking of it, it was thanks to everything Qin Muxue dressed her up today. The clothes are the most fashionable fabrics in the south, and the longan-sized beads are casually pinned on the clothes. It doesn't look like that. Is a solid color, slightly purple gas.The hair accessories on the head are exquisite, and the hair accessories on the hands and waists are extraordinary. What's more, they don't look cumbersome, but they make the person extraordinarily beautiful. Not everyone has such abilities, at least this one. There is no shortage of money, good taste, and quite worthy of association.

Gao's daughter, Mu Niantong, poked Liu Qing, "The one who came in with you, do you know her identity?" She also noticed it just now, but she was too busy joking with the little sisters, so she didn't have time greet.At this moment, of course she has to ask clearly, if it is an unimportant person, she will talk to them bluntly, and if it spreads, it will not make people laugh to death.

"Just now, my mother greeted her family members. I listened to it. It looks like the family members of the newly appointed Eagle King. She seems to be a niece." Liu Qing only vaguely said what she knew, and said nothing about the rest. carry.If she didn't say anything, Mu Niantong would probably be able to figure it out, after all, these things have been rumored in Jinling City recently.

Now that you know her identity, you have to say hello and see how she is.Mu Niantong pulled Liu Qing over, followed by her younger sister Mu Nianhuan. Although they had the same father and mother, they had very different temperaments.

"This elder sister looks unfamiliar, don't know how to address it?" She squatted down slightly to salute, and asked with a smile, "I am the host, but I didn't greet you properly, but I asked my elder sister to be alone here. I should be punished." fine."

Lin Daiyu naturally wanted to return the gift, "Don't dare, my sister is polite. I am the niece of the Eagle King Lin Mu. I was fascinated by the flowers when I came to the door for the first time. No, I was dumbfounded." down the steps.How else can we say that Lin Daiyu is smart, for the first time, she dealt with it so gracefully.

As soon as such words came out, Mu Niantong immediately felt that he was right and someone he could make friends with, so he solemnly introduced himself, "My father is the eldest son of the Prince of Dongping County, my boudoir name is Niantong, and this is my younger sister, Nianhuan. This is Master Liu's eldest daughter, Liu Qing. Just now we were admiring the flowers, why don't sisters come together, we just sit at the same table."

Seeing that she sincerely invited her, and both Liu Qing and Mu Nianhuan agreed, Lin Daiyu didn't refuse much, and walked over.Lin Daiyu discovered just now that the people in this room are distinct and each has their own circle. No wonder Aunt Mu Xue asked her to follow Miss Liu just now.

The lady raised in the deep boudoir is just talking about the wind, flowers, snow and moon, why worry about the country's plans, no, she can also recite two poems to a few potted flowers.Lin Daiyu is talented in this area, but she doesn't force herself to show off, let alone hide her clumsiness. As soon as she put down her pen, Mu Niantong over there leaned over to look at it.

"As expected of Tanhualang's daughter, Master Lin's skills may have been passed on to you." Mu Niantong said with emotion, "Sister, how old are you this year?"

Lin Daiyu was a little stunned. This was the first person to mention her father. It turned out that someone still remembered him!

"Sister?" Seeing that she was a little dazed, Mu Niantong gave her a slight push and looked at Liu Qing.Didn't the rumors say that this Miss Lin was the daughter of Tanhualang Lin Hai?It is said that he had been living in the Rongguo Mansion before, and was picked up by the Eagle King Lin Mu who came back from a long way a while ago.

Let’s not talk about the reputation of Rongguo Duke’s Mansion in Jinling City, it’s just because Lin Mu is on the cusp. When everyone is talking about it, there are naturally various opinions.
