Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

After Si time on the second day, a group of monks came and opened Yiyuan, chanting scriptures day and night to save the dead.Seven days later, another group of Taoist priests came to the dojo for three days, and finally Yiyuan gradually calmed down.

Since Nan Qing was frightened that day, she doesn't come out of Taoye Residence very often, she only sends Xiu Yi and Su Fei to say hello every day.After being ill for a few days, Daiyu went to see her twice.There is no big difference between Nan Qing's style and the past, but as soon as someone mentions what happened that night, they immediately tremble with fear, stare wide-eyed, and are at a loss.

Later, a mother-in-law and Daiyu said: "The side concubine is really bewitched, why don't I ask the concubine to show me and let the concubine go to the family temple to meditate for a few days, I'm afraid it will be fine."

Daiyu said again: "The side concubine has left, so who will take care of this matter?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "Of course the princess is in charge. Shouldn't the affairs of the mansion be in the hands of the princess?" The mother-in-law thought to herself, if it were someone else, she would already have the power alone. She really regards herself as a serious master, but because of the shallow face of the new princess, she often excuses herself with the excuse of her poor health. She really regards herself as a person, and she treats her servants harshly and severely. .

Daiyu took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "Why do you need to be in such a hurry to change the status quo? I can't do these kind of favors. Besides, I hate these household chores the most. If you have that spare time, why not just sit down and turn a few pages quietly?" Book, write two words, do two needles and needlework when you are bored, or talk to the princess, tell the story of the south. Why bother to solicit these troublesome things. The management of the family must offend others. Which of the management wives in the mansion It’s not great. Not to mention the palace, even the Jia family used to have many shrewd housekeepers and daughters-in-law, and Sister Feng was capable, and others would have been unable to suppress it. It’s better to let the people below do it. I'm also happy to have a leisurely time, if Mammy wants to joke, just joke."

The nanny immediately laughed and said, "After all, everyone has different temperaments. The princess is indifferent. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been caught everywhere."

Daiyu lightly brushed the folds of her clothes with a calm expression on her face.The woman in front of her couldn't understand, so she shook her head helplessly, thinking that this would be good, and there would be less troublesome things in the house.

Xueyan came over: "Princess, the eldest lady is here with Miss Qiao."

Daiyu raised her head suddenly, thinking that she had misheard, she hurriedly asked, "Which eldest lady?"

Xueyan smiled and said: "The head of the family is the eldest wife of the Jia family, and there is Miss Qiao."

Daiyu felt strange in her heart, what was the eldest aunt coming to do, and said hurriedly: "Please come in quickly."

So I heard the servant girl on the porch saying: "I invite my uncle, wife and cousin to sit in the room."

Daiyu got up, straightened her clothes, and brushed her hair again. The little girl lifted the curtain, and Daiyu went outside.But seeing Mrs. Xing holding Qiaojie to the porch, Daiyu hastily went up to greet her and was about to salute.But Mrs. Xing grabbed her back and smiled all over her face: "What is the princess doing, it should be a woman who greets the princess." She said that she wanted to be blessed, but Daiyu stopped her early up.

Daiyu led them into the east room to rest, and let Mrs. Xing sit on the kang.Mrs. Xing saw that the kang was covered with wolf fur mattresses, and there was a big pillow with glittering gold satin, apricot and yellow embroidered python, she thought that it might be a water-soluble seat, so she dared not sit on it.Daiyu persuaded her again and again, and then she asked to sit down.

Mrs. Xing asked Sister Qiao to come over to meet Daiyu again, and Daiyu quickly asked Xueyan to help her.I also saw Sister Qiao wearing a rose-purple jacket, a moon-white satin ermine coat, and a sapphire blue Hunan skirt.Around his neck hung a red gold collar.A head of black and fine hair, tied loosely behind her head, with pearls and emeralds adorned in her hair, and a slightly childish face, but already seven points like Sister Feng.

When Daiyu saw Sister Qiao, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Qiao is becoming more and more outstanding. I'm afraid she will be a beauty again when she grows up, but she looks like she came out of the same mold as Sister Feng."

Mrs. Xing was naturally a little unhappy when she heard the word Sister Feng.There was a slight smile on his face.

Daiyu was sitting in front of her, she didn't know what Mrs. Xing had to say when she came suddenly, and she also thought that her eldest aunt was weak by nature, she didn't know much, and she didn't have any power in her hands, she listened to her uncle's words most, although there were many people around her who could help her with ideas There are many people who can use it, but none of them can be used.He is usually the most greedy, and loves to keep people's money.

Xiyue held a water chestnut-shaped black tea tray, inside which were two cups of freshly brewed Yuqian Longjing tea and two dishes of tea and food.

Daiyu hastened to hold a multi-colored birthday tureen and presented it to Mrs. Xing herself.Mrs. Xing got up to catch it in a panic, and said with a smile: "My concubine, please sit down, the women will suffer."

Xiyue gave Qiaojie another white-filled tureen from an official kiln, and withdrew.

Daiyu sat with Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "My niece is all well now, and she is married to such a good family. There is no need to worry about food and clothing, and there is a prince in the family. They will be rich and honored for generations."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Auntie's words make me not know what to say, it's fate anyway. The prince is pretty good, and I don't know what will happen in the future, and I look safe now."

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "I'll talk about it later. Although it's a continuation, it still made many people jealous. Speaking of which, it's still a good fortune for my niece, and no one else can enjoy it."

Daiyu smiled modestly.

Sister Qiao sat on the chair below, unable to get in the conversation, and looked at the furnishings in the room.There is no real partition between this room and the one outside, but only a single fan. Many new and ingenious gadgets are placed on the carved grid, including porcelains of various styles, wood carvings, clay sculptures, and so on. Glass playware from the Western Regions.I also saw a large scroll of blue and green landscape paintings of the predecessors hanging on the west wall.Under the south window is a kang covered with camel-colored felt, and a big kang table with a huanghuali animal face and tiger claws.On the table stood a beauty flower cup from Jun Kiln, with two hibiscus flowers growing in it.There are four nanmu official hat chairs facing each other, with apricot yellow embroidered thread mattresses.

Sister Qiao saw that the layout of this room was no different from that at home, but the utensils were all first-class.She couldn't help thinking that although there were a lot of good things in grandma's room, she was always afraid of putting them away and refused to take them out.Sister Qiao also heard people say that the past two years have been difficult for the family, and my grandmother also secretly asked people to take a lot of things left by their ancestors to sell, and all the silver taels they got were tricked by my grandfather to eat and drink.

Daiyu asked Sister Qiao again: "What is Sister Qiao doing at home?"

Sister Qiao got up and smiled and replied, "I'm learning how to sew with my mothers, and let Uncle Bao Er teach me how to read."

Mrs. Xing said, "Sewing is the first class. What do girls do after reading so many books, as long as they don't go blind."

Daiyu smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Sister Qiao laughed again and said, "It would be great if Aunt Lin Biao was still at home. I still want to learn to compose poetry from Auntie. I'm afraid that Auntie will laugh at me for being stupid."

Daiyu laughed and said, "How could it be? I still remember when my sister Qiao was only a few years old when she first came to Beijing. Once Grandma Liu from the village came to our house, and Sister Qiao asked her for a grasshopper. Now that she has become a big girl, she looks more and more like Sister Feng."

When Qiaojie heard her mother was mentioned, her eyes dimmed instantly, but grandma didn't dare to show anything in front of her, her eyes were slightly stained with mist, she sat down again, tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and lowered her head go.

Mrs. Xing happened to be in front of her, so she smiled and said to Daiyu: "No, sister Qiao is so old." Seeing that sister Qiao was in front of her again, she had some difficult words to say, so she said to Xueyan: "Xueyan has taken it. Sister Qiao, please sit elsewhere, I will have a few words with the princess."

Qiaojie got up and went down with Xueyan.

Daiyu became even more puzzled, anticipating that her aunt must have something important to say, she drove everyone away from the house.Then he asked with a smile: "If you have anything to say, you can just say it directly."

Mrs. Xing suddenly became hesitant, not as usual, and said embarrassingly: "Young lady knows that although your eldest uncle has a noble, he has nothing to do at home all day long. The family is no better than before. It is also difficult to live with so many people."

When Daiyu heard this, she guessed that her aunt was here to speak for her uncle, and she probably only asked her to say a few words in front of Shui Rong, to find something for her uncle to do, because she smiled and said, "My uncle is already old, and he is surrounded by children and grandchildren at home." , and it’s time to enjoy the blessings. Didn’t the second elder brother Lian donate a candidate?”

Mrs. Xing smacked her lips and said: "But there is a name, what are you trying to do. A lot of money was spent in vain. If it is like this, his father still beats him, and it is difficult for me to go to the side to persuade him. After all, he is not his own. Now Helping the housekeeper, but now the house may not even have any airs left, and the outsiders may not believe it. The princess must know."

Daiyu said: "Which family doesn't have this thing?"

Mrs. Xing laughed again and said: "I don't have a good grandson. Now I have such a granddaughter in front of me. She was born fairly decently. She is also a child from the first line. Thinking of her life, she still has to rely on you, an aunt, to help her take care of it." Cuisine."

Seeing that Mrs. Xing's conversation suddenly changed, Daiyu talked about Qiaojie again, and then said Qiaojie's lifelong coming, now she understood why they came here, so she couldn't help smiling bitterly: "Qiaojie is still young, why do you just talk about it?" Forever."

Mrs. Xing said: "Hey, it's so small. Besides, it's important to have a suitable marriage settled early, so I have to ask the princess to help."

Daiyu hurriedly said, "I can't refuse my aunt's words, but I don't go out very often, so I have to find someone how to do it. Auntie is a grandmother, of course it's a matter of auntie's words."

Mrs. Xing also expected Daiyu to be unhappy, so she laughed and said: "People like us are also a family of poets and ceremonies after meritorious deeds. Sister Qiao's child is a descendant, and he is born with some good looks. You have to find a family in a serious way. The first and second household items are worthy of it. Like that second girl, it’s not like I wasted my whole life.” Madam Xing said about Yingchun, tears welled up in her eyes.

Daiyu took a sip of tea and asked slowly, "How is Sister Feng?"

The smile on Mrs. Xing's face instantly froze: "Don't you know our family? The new Lian's second grandma is Grandma Ping. Where did she come from? Grandma Feng. She has committed too many crimes on weekdays. I asked Jia Lian to divorce her. To drive her out is already considered as the most benevolent."

Daiyu suddenly felt chills running down her spine, and saw that Mrs. Xing was in such a bad state, she couldn't say anything more.
