Stealing Fragrance and Stealing Jade in the Red Chamber

When they came to Jiamuyuan, the old lady took Lin Daiyu's hand again and again, and let her sit on the top seat.

Seeing the love in the old lady's eyes, Lin Daiyu couldn't help her nose sour, and her heart was a little moved.

The table was full of dishes, and many maids and women were waiting with the dishes.Wang Xifeng and Li Wan waited beside Jia Mu, one on the left and the other on the right, busy serving dishes.

In the past, Wang Xifeng was always between the old lady and the second wife, and Li Wan was between the old lady and the first lady, as if Li Wan and Wang Xifeng had switched mothers-in-law.

I don't know what happened to Wang Xifeng in the past six months, but he started to get close to the eldest wife.

Li Wan went to the second wife's side, but she didn't notice anything.She became a widow when she got married, and she put her whole heart on her son, and she smoothed her temperament early.

Her mother-in-law doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.Li Wan never said one more thing, nor did he want to do one more thing.

Yuliu stood behind Lin Daiyu, taking the place of the delivery girl.Wang Xifeng was helping out again, but Lin Daiyu didn't feel nervous.

After the meal was over, another servant girl was ordered to hold tea and pass water. Lin Daiyu watched other people's actions, and she could not help but follow suit.

When he was about to drink tea after dinner, Yuliu held his hand and took back the teacup.

Seeing this scene, the second wife asked, "I don't drink tea, but tea doesn't suit my appetite?"

Everyone looked at Lin Daiyu.

Yuliu calmly handed the teacup to the little girl behind her, then bowed to the old lady, and replied: "The old lady didn't know something, the girl kept her filial piety a while ago, she was sad every day, and woke up crying every night.

In less than half a month, I lost a lot of weight, and I couldn't sleep peacefully until the doctor prescribed soothing soup.Now, this calming soup has only stopped at the beginning of the month, the doctor does not let the girl drink those refreshing things, let the girl sleep when she is sleepy, don't hold back.

Girls feel light and always wake up easily, so they need to sleep more to make up for it.

If you can drink a cup of this tea in the morning, once you drink it now, it will be difficult to fall asleep at night.

A few days ago, the girl had been holding back well, but she came to the old lady's place. She must have been unable to hold back the smell of tea. The old lady should talk about the girl. "

The old lady was naturally happy to hear such a handful of Yuliu, and told Daiyu not to be like them, but to listen to the doctor.

Seeing this, the second wife could only stand aside without saying a word.

Looking at Lin Daiyu's charming smile, she said silently in her heart: wait for the future.

Lin Daiyu looked back at Yuliu, her eyes crooked with a smile.

If Yuliu wanted to stop it, she could just not let the tea be handed to her, but let everyone see her take the tea away, causing a follow-up topic.

After talking to the old lady and the Sanchun sisters, Jia Baoyu appeared on stage.

The bright red all over made Lin Daiyu feel tingling in her heart and eyes, and immediately looked at Yuliu.

"Old lady, young lady is going back to read and write scriptures for Grandma Min." Yuliu supported Lin Daiyu and bid farewell to Mother Jia.

"Baoyu will come later, he is your second uncle's child, and you are cousins, let's meet up." Naturally, the old lady couldn't say anything to make Lin Daiyu unfilial, so she could only mention another topic.

"It's late today, I think it's not convenient to meet each other, see you another day." Lin Daiyu saluted again.

The old lady was about to keep her for a while, but she saw that Lin Daiyu and Yuliu were both pale. Then she remembered that Baoyu was all red.

Just such a staggering, the bridge section where Baoyu threw jade was given to the butterfly.

Because sister Lin is a guest today and wants to visit everyone, everyone has some scruples because of her filial status.

Jia Lang is a foreigner, so he should avoid him as a matter of course.Therefore, Jia Lang only returned to his own Lixiangyuan after paying his respects to his ancestors.

Early the next morning, Jia Lang went to visit his ancestors, and Jia's mother mentioned that he would hold a scholar banquet for Jia Lang.

Jia Lang politely declined the kindness of his ancestor, saying that the provincial examination was coming soon, and he wanted to study more in peace, fearing that it would be difficult for others to refuse invitations to him when the scholar banquet was held, so he waited until he had passed the provincial examination.

The old ancestor praised Jia Lang for his ambition, so he didn't mention the scholar banquet anymore, he just said that he would have fun at home and have a meal together.Jia Lang didn't refuse either.

When they were about to leave, they heard the announcement of sister Lin coming in, and the two met naturally.

"Sister, are you still used to it?" Jia Lang smiled, and there is no need to avoid it when meeting on such occasions.After all, there are elders around, and it's time to say hello again.

"Brother Xie Lang is concerned, everything is fine, and everyone treats Daiyu very well." Lin Daiyu really felt that most people in Jia's residence were very kind to her.

At least, superficially.

After a few polite words with Lin Daiyu, Jia Lang left.

When Lin Daiyu saw Jia Lang leaving, she felt a little weird. Cousin Lang seemed to be a little alienated from her.Such a move made her think a lot.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's expression, Jia's mother patted her hand comfortingly, "Your cousin Lang reads a lot and pays attention to rules. Because you are all over seven years old and you are observing filial piety, so he usually avoids it for a while." two.

He is also doing this for your own good, lest you be criticized by others.There are many people in this house, and there are always some perverse people who love to play tricks. "

With such an explanation, Lin Daiyu was relieved a lot.

"Lang'er will open a school in his Pear Fragrance Garden every few days to teach Baoyu and his sisters how to read and write. You will also go there at that time. Lang'er's status as a scholar is enough to teach you villains." See Seeing Daiyu is not very timid, and every time I see it, I feel pity in my heart.

"I slept well yesterday. You don't have to wake up so early in the morning. You can sleep well. I have everything. If you need anything or want anything, just tell me."

Lin Daiyu felt warm in her heart, her eyes were red again, and a few tears fell down.

Tears dripped down the back of her hands, and suddenly she remembered what Jia Lang had said to reassure her not to cry, so she wiped it gently with a handkerchief, only smiling gratefully at Mother Jia.

Mother Jia held Daiyu in her arms for a while, and then kept her for dinner, and asked someone to cook some vegetarian dishes.

Not long after lunch, a boatload of gifts prepared by Lin Ruhai landed and arrived at Jia's Mansion.

Box after box of things, almost piled up in the yard so that no one can walk through.

Mother Jia had seen the list earlier, and most of them were precious books, calligraphy and paintings, some Suzhou specialties, and a small number of gold and silver toys.

These gifts from Bi Jia Min are simply worlds apart.

Mother Jia insisted on her identity, so she naturally refused to accept it, so she asked people to move to Lin Daiyu's yard.

Lin Daiyu naturally refused again and again, but the younger generation dared not resign when the elders spoke.Yuliu was at the side and whispered something, and Lin Daiyu immediately had an idea.

"Before, my father sent me a year's chewing head, but my grandmother refused to accept it. Now my father sent me some relatives, and my grandmother refused to accept it. Grandma, do you think that your father's gift is not good enough?" Lin Daiyu said this on purpose. have to.

"You child, what do we lack? Originally, when you came to me, you should not bring anything. Now that your father is alone, it is natural to feel uneasy when he is far away. Now that these gifts are sent, we have received them all." When Jia's mother married into the Rongguo Mansion, it was the time when the four major families were at their peak, and her vision was very high.

These years, as the ancestor of the Jia family, even the patriarch of the Jia family bowed his head in front of her.Filial piety governs the country, and good things are naturally filial to her.

Back then, military generals conquered the world, and the valuables were gold, silver, jade, agate and pearls.Now that the literati are in charge, it is natural that calligraphy, painting and antiques are more valuable, but Jia Mu doesn't understand, and always thinks that those are worthless.

In fact, Lin Ruhai sent over a picture of a lady taking a nap with a red lotus, even if she took a box of gold, she couldn't exchange it for it.

However, some people don't know the goods.

"Although I say that, I feel ashamed. The 5000 taels are only for me to pray for my brothers and sisters in my family, and my grandmother can no longer refuse." As soon as Lin Daiyu finished speaking, Yuliu immediately took out the small box .

"That's right, old lady. 5000 taels is nothing, it's just a token of filial piety from Miss Lin." The second wife looked at the 5000 taels and couldn't bear to look away.

Wang Xifeng no longer wanted to be a housekeeper, so she only used Jia Lian as a cover.After all, the eldest wife is the second wife's sister-in-law, Wang Xifeng's decent mother-in-law, and if she doesn't say anything, the second wife can't do anything to Wang Xifeng.

Li Wan is also a wooden person, orphaned and widowed, and the second wife said that she is also notorious for being harsh on her daughter-in-law.

Now, because of the shortfall in the mansion, she has sold the sacrificed land in the past six months, which is several times that of the previous few years.

5000 taels is not much, but it can make her money a lot easier, how could she miss it.

Mother Jia looked at the second wife, sighed, waved her hand, and asked the second wife to accept it.

Looking at Lin Daiyu, I only love her more.
