The Fate of the Red Chamber

In mid-October, the first snow fell, making the whole capital white and beautiful.

Since Xue's family came to the capital, they have been living in the Lixiangyuan of Jia's mansion, and they have never mentioned anything about going back to their own home. The old ladies, grandmas and girls of the Jia family enjoy the snow.No, Aunt Xue helped Xue Baochai early in the morning, and the mother and daughter came to Jiamu's courtyard.

Baochai prides herself on being dignified and plain, and doesn't like bright colors, but today she is wearing a brand-new long brocade skirt with rose purple and red border, and a jade crepe skirt with emerald flowers, covered with lotus blue and gold thread flying phoenix pattern on the outside. big fur cloak.Wearing a white flower bun, with the eight-treasure-step rocking hairpin inserted obliquely, the three-dimensional butterfly gold pendant feet are pressed behind the ears, and a large filigree inlaid jade bracelet is on the hand. It feels a bit like a rich peony, which is rare for everyone.

Because of the snow, Baoyu was pestering Mother Jia not to go to school today, saying that she would spend a day enjoying the snow with the old lady.Just as Jia's mother was about to agree, the maids had already opened the curtains and said with a smile, "The concubine and Miss Bao are here."

After greeting each other, Mother Jia looked at the newly dressed Baochai with a half-smile and said: "Miss Baochai is very bright today, and young girls should be like this. They look festive and comfortable. We are not like that. A down-and-out family who has no money to dress up girls. It should be like this from now on."

Baochai blushed immediately, and Aunt Xue was also a little shy. In the past, she only cared about currying favor with Mrs. Wang, but forgot that the old lady likes girls to dress up the most.

But Baoyu heard Jiamu's praise of Baochai, so he couldn't help but look at it carefully. It was as if the skin was fat, plump as jade, and full of pink light, which made people want to touch it.

"Just now I seem to hear that Brother Bao is going to invite the old lady to enjoy the snow. He really thought of going with us. When it snowed yesterday, Girl Bao discussed with me that she would use the garden of the old lady's house to set up a day's wine. Let's have a day together. The old lady has such a taste, but our filial piety is pious." Baochai tugged Aunt Xue's sleeve lightly, and Aunt Xue understood and changed the subject.

Mother Jia's eyes darkened. My granddaughter's life and death are uncertain, but you guys are proud of it and put on wine and sing.

It just happened that Mrs. Wang heard that her sister was coming, so she hurriedly tidied up and came to serve the old lady. When she heard this, she answered first: "How can it be, you live here as guests, so why pay us for the wine. "

When a group of people saw Mrs. Wang coming in, everyone except Jia Mu got up and saluted.Mrs. Wang bowed to Jia Mu again, and Fang sat down on a mahogany armchair next to Aunt Xue.

Unexpectedly, when Mother Jia saw Mrs. Wang coming in, her complexion turned pale, and she didn't say good or bad, just joking with her three granddaughters.

When Mrs. Wang was suffocated, she looked a little ugly, but she never dared to get angry in front of the old lady, so she suppressed her anger, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

However, Baoyu was ignorant, and the people didn't tell him about the Lin family, so he sighed loudly: "It's a pity that sister Lin's house has gone, why don't we get together after she comes back, and then bring sister Yun, then it will be lively. Without sister Lin, it's always meaningless."

"Good boy, you are sincere, and you are still thinking of your sister Lin. Some people wish that she would never come to our house again." Jia Mu was holding back her anger at Mrs. Wang, and she was afraid that Baoyu would go crazy when she heard that Daiyu had happened. Sickness, can only speak half.

"Who didn't let Sister Lin come to our house, old lady, if there is such a person, just call out, otherwise Sister Lin will be angry when she finds out when she comes back." Baoyu was thinking about Lin Daiyu, wishing that Daiyu would appear in front of her right away, how could she guard against it? This offended his mother.

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face turned pale in an instant, her long nails dug into her flesh fiercely, old man, you actually provoked my Baoyu to have a conflict with me, don't even think about who gave birth to him?I don't believe that my Baoyu would even give up his own mother because of that foxy girl.

It's not that Baochai hasn't heard the gossip and gossip these days. As soon as she contacted her, she guessed a general idea, and rescued Mrs. Wang: "Brother Bao, Sister Lin is not very precious in our house. Who wouldn't miss him sincerely? You I'm too worried."

"I didn't know when this became Miss Bao's home. Even our family told me about it." The fourth girl, Xichun, was the youngest and the coldest. Chai's words inevitably made him laugh.

After Lin Daiyu came to Jia's mansion, Jia's mother loved her so much that she compared Sanchun to the bottom.But the three of them didn't complain too much. After all, Daiyu was the only daughter of the Jia family's only aunt and the daughter of the Duke's family, so she was no worse than them in status.But Xue Baochai is different. He is not a serious relative of the Jia family, but just to give her some face in front of Mrs. Wang. Xichun hates it the most.

Tanchun hurriedly took a look at Baochai's expression, and secretly pulled La Xichun's sleeve, motioning her to say less.

Baochai didn't notice it for a while, and made a mistake, her cheeks flushed with shame, her pink neck drooped, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a hemp rope.

"Old lady, old lady, what a happy event." Before Sister Feng arrived, her voice came first, and there was a lot of laughter.After entering the house, he didn't bother to pay respects to the elders. He ran up to Mother Jia with a happy expression on his face and said jokingly, "Old lady, guess what's going on, it's about Sister Lin."

Jia's mother liked Sister Feng's bright atmosphere, and when she heard that it was about Daiyu, she quickly pulled Sister Feng and asked anxiously, "What's the matter, you monkey?"

"Old lady, sister Lin is fine, the Lin family is still fine." When Sister Feng was speaking, the golden hairpin on her head was shining golden, dazzling people's eyes.

"It's true, what's going on, I don't want to talk about it in detail." Jia's mother was so anxious that she owed half of her body.

Sister Feng hurriedly told all the news that Jia Lian had just heard from outside. Jia Lian wanted to ask for the lottery by herself, but Sister Feng took the lead.

Sure enough, Jiamu was so happy that she smiled, and Amitabha didn't stop.Regardless of where the Lin family came from for such an imperial decree, this is good, Daiyu is fine, and the Lin family's property has been preserved.In the future, we will bring Daiyu back to Beijing and keep him by my side, or ration her to Baoyu, or marry into the royal family. Anyway, the Lin family's money cannot escape.Second wife, you are missing a move after all.

Looking at Mrs. Wang again, she really had a very bad complexion, and her eyes were poking at Sister Feng hatefully, as if Sister Feng had obtained the imperial decree.But Baochai's expression could not be seen clearly, she just lowered her head, neither happy nor displeased.

After the joy, Mother Jia spoke to Aunt Xue and her daughter, but her eyes glanced at Mrs. Wang from time to time: "My granddaughter is blessed and protected by the imperial decree of the former emperor. Who dares to underestimate her. Only those who don't know what to do Only those who don’t have eyes will not recognize Jin Xiangyu.”

Mrs. Wang's complexion turned blue and white, and she could hardly sit still.

Mother Jia was happy and excited, and happily agreed to Aunt Xue to go to enjoy the snow together. Mrs. Wang had to follow and serve, and she cursed Daiyu half to death in her heart.

In addition, Baoyu rubbed the old lady vigorously, and immediately forced to send someone to pick up Daiyu from the south of the Yangtze River. Jiamu agreed happily.

In the blink of an eye, it was November, and Mother Jia thought of giving a gift to the Lin family, so she watched Yuanyang draw up the list and handed it to Sister Feng, and asked her to make everything and send it to someone in charge.Fortunately, most of the items on the list are food and playthings, and the rest are taken out by the old lady herself. Sister Feng is so happy that she doesn't have to spend money from the palace.

But Mrs. Wang was angry with Jia's mother because of Daiyu before, the boss was unhappy, and often thought about revenge this time.I heard that Sister Feng was buying gifts for the Lin family, so she forced Sister Feng to exchange many useful things for common goods, and even swallowed some playthings given by the old lady, and kept holding them back. It was not sent until the twelfth lunar month.

Sister Feng didn't dare to offend, and she was afraid that she would take it out and push it all on her. She was really wronged, and she blamed Mrs. Wang for going too far.Now there are only two brothers and sisters left in the Lin family, life will definitely be sad, if I take care of them, I am not afraid that they will not remember my love, and one day the Lin family will gain power, and it will be difficult for you to go to the water again.
