Dai Yuxin says

This is rare!

Looking at Xiangyun, Daiyu thought to herself that she is a person who floats on the water. She has always followed the master of Jia's house and is very friendly with Baochai.

In this cold day, why did she come to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where no one cares about it?

Although this person is annoying, he is also a poor person.So, with a smile, he greeted her to sit next to the smoked cage, and ordered the snow geese to serve tea.

Xiangyun blinked her big talking eyes, seeing Daiyu smiling and saying nothing, couldn't help saying: "Sister Lin, I'm here to say goodbye to you, and I'm going home this afternoon."

"The Lantern Festival is coming soon, you are a person who likes to be lively, why don't you go back after the Lantern Festival here?" Daiyu asked her with a smile, and gently put down the tea bowl in her hand.

Xiangyun took the embroidery that Zijuan had just done, and complained while admiring: "The third younger sister is now on the high branch of the prince's mansion, and the family treats her differently, and they are discussing her dowry all day long. The third younger sister is also reserved. Woke up, hid in Qiuzhe's study all day and refused to come out to meet people, seeing me was always indifferent. In the past, sister Xichun was said to be a cold girl, but now my third sister is an ice girl."

Xueyan couldn't help interjecting: "Third Miss is busy with the dowry and has no time to accompany you. Second Grandma Bao is still a new daughter-in-law, shouldn't she be too busy?"

Xiangyun pursed her mouth and said, "Don't mention Sister Bao! She has changed completely now. If it wasn't for her appearance, I would almost not recognize her. Although she is a few years older than us, after this year, I will still be able to recognize her. However, she is two years older than Baoyu, and she can handle things better than a mother. Unexpectedly, Baoyu will let her take care of it now. Throughout the day, Yinger took several girls to accompany him to read in the study, and I went to see him twice. Come back, Sister Bao and Ying'er are like guarding against thieves, lest someone abduct Baoyu away. They also speak sourly, which makes people tired of hearing it."

"Hehe, isn't this what you persuaded your second elder brother before? Why did your second elder brother become what you hoped for, but it's not good?" Daiyu sat there, picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip , seems to ask casually.

Xiangyun put down the embroidery in his hand, examined Daiyu carefully, and said with a mischievous smile: "Who said that the second brother is not good? I just said that Sister Bao controlled him too tightly, even tighter than the old lady. Yesterday , I secretly went to visit my second elder brother once, he took away Yinger and the girl in the house, and secretly told me that he wanted to come to see you, but he was afraid that he would delay his reading and affect next year's spring, and he was afraid that sister Bao would be unhappy if he found out , he said that there is an old lady here, of course it's nothing, just afraid that it will treat you badly in the future."

Daiyu said with a cold face after hearing this: "What are you talking about? You bastard!"

Seeing that Daiyu seemed really annoyed, Xiangyun said with a sarcastic smile, "That's what I said about the second elder brother, and the second elder brother smiled and said that I don't understand, and I will know later."

I was just about to ask him to explain the reason in detail, when Sister Bao came in and gave me a hard time, complaining that I shouldn't disturb Baoyu's study, and that Jia's mansion was so kind to me, and I didn't want to reciprocate, and it also affected Baoyu's hard work. If Baoyu doesn't get the honor in the exam, my crime will be serious.

Sister Lin, please comment. I just went to see my second elder brother and said a few words. Sister Bao just said that about me and asked me not to enter Baoyu's study if I had nothing to do.What is this nonsense?How does this look like the former Zhuang Shuya's sister Bao? "

Xueyan smiled and said: "Miss Yun, she is now the young mistress of the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, it's because you didn't see the situation clearly."

Xiangyun got up and hit Xueyan, and laughed and scolded: "You little hoof, how dare you call me a girl? However, what you said makes sense." Xueyan smiled and dodged, bowed to Xiangyun and saluted: " Please don't blame me, girl, Xueyan is just telling the truth."

"Who blames you? I share the same illness as your girl. Fortunately, I still have my own family, and my uncle and aunt are good to me. It's just that in the past few years, life in my family has become more and more difficult. Sister Lin is a noble person, and she doesn't want to do it for you. I bend my waist for five buckets of rice, but I am willing to bend my waist for a liter of rice. I am a person who lives in peace. I can live on rich clothes and food, and I can live on charity. Don’t laugh at me, as long as you don’t lose your duty, this is also the way of life "Xiangyun laughed like a self-deprecating, stood up and went to read the book Daiyu put down, as if someone had burned her tail, and shouted: "Sister Lin, you are getting better and better. You are waiting for the Guqin score. Can understand?"

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, just find it out and have a look, just pass the time."

Xiangyun vomited bitterness here for a while, expressed his troubles for a while, and felt much better, talking and laughing heartlessly.Feeling that it was almost noon, he ordered his close maids Cui Lu and Xue Yan to say: "Bring my meals here, I will stay with Sister Lin for a few days, and accompany Sister Lin."

Zicuckoo came in to get something, laughed and said, "Our girl hasn't gone to the kitchen to pick up food for a long time."

Cui Wei asked in amazement: "If you don't pick up the food, what are you going to eat?"

The corner of Xueyan's mouth twitched and said: "What? Look down on us?"

Cuilu blushed, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I meant..." Zijuan looked anxious at Cuilu, and Xueyan became more confused as she explained more, smiled generously, and said softly: "Our girl eats? Picky, she eats what we do."

Xiang Yun smiled smartly and said: "That's fine, cook and eat by yourself, and save some money."

Xueyan sneered and said, "Jia's mansion didn't give us the living expenses of the Xiaoxiang Hall, and our girls paid for the food and clothing themselves."

Xiangyun widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Sister Lin, do you have money yourself?"

Just as Xueyan was about to open her mouth, Daiyu stopped her with her eyes, and said leisurely: "I am an orphan, where did I get the money? Why don't I let Zijuan and Xueyan sell some of the jewelry my mother left me?" .”

Xiangyun was silent, and after a while, he comforted in a low voice: "Sister Lin, don't be sad, life will not be like this forever. Sister Lin, I'm going to the old lady's place now, and I'll see you again when I'm free."

Xiangyun exaggerated and whispered about Daiyu to Jia Mu. After hearing this, Jia Mu said to Xiang Yun: "You have a good heart, but you speak quickly. In the future, it may be that you will suffer from it." Xiangyun acted like a baby Said: "Old ancestor, you dote on me so much, can I not be considerate to you?"

The next day, Jiamu's room was full of people. Jiamu stared at Mrs. Wang and said, "I'm old and not in good spirits. I don't care about anything. As long as you are not afraid of being pointed at your spine, just keep it from me." It's gone." Mrs. Wang smiled nonchalantly: "Look at what the old lady said, who dares to hide the truth from you, old man, from the people in this house?"

Mother Jia snorted softly, and said in a slow voice, "I heard that Lin girl lives in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and now she makes a living by selling her mother's jewelry. If you don't know, people will say that our house can't afford a niece." Son, or are we bullying an orphan girl?

As soon as Mother Jia spoke, the eyes of all the people in the room were on Mrs. Wang.

"The daughter-in-law only knows that the elder girl's food and clothing expenses are the same as those of the girls in the mansion. This matter has always been taken care of by Feng girl. The daughter-in-law doesn't know anything about what the old lady said." Mrs. Wang sat there with a blank expression on her face. With red ears not red, he replied confidently.

Wang Xifeng listened to the discussion and said: In the past, I took care of everything for you. I don't know how many scapegoats I took for you. I got personal resentment, and finally ended up being kicked away by you.Now, you still want me to take the blame for your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but there is no way.

So, he said with a smile: "My wife is right. In the past, sister Lin spent all her expenses the same as the sisters in the house. The granddaughter-in-law never dared to neglect in the slightest. Now that sister-in-law Bao enters the door, the granddaughter-in-law is lazy. , and handed over all the affairs in the mansion to Sister Bao. My daughter-in-law really doesn't know anything about what the old lady said. "

Jia Mu's eyes drifted to Baochai, and she said leisurely, "I know that you, a poor householder, have a good heart and a bad mouth. You have always been very kind to my uncle and sister-in-law. They have praised you a lot when I am here." Everyone followed Jia Mu words, praising Sister Feng for caring for her uncle and sister-in-law, but her eyes were full of content and slanted towards Baochai.

Baochai couldn't sit still, and said with a blushing face, "Sister Lin has no parents, and I have no father either. It seems that I am better than Sister Lin, but I just have more mothers and brothers than her. In the garden, the sisters Everyone knows that I have the best relationship with Sister Lin. Sister Feng is not in good health, so she entrusted me with the affairs of the house. I am young and do not understand housekeeping, and I have just entered the house. Everything is in accordance with the usual practice and has not been changed. During the year, Lin Because my sister is weak, the food in the big kitchen is not very suitable for her. She wants to cook and eat in Xiaoxiang Hall by herself, and the old lady agrees. If there is an oversight in the transfer, why doesn't Sister Lin even say a word? Check to see where the problem is, find out and deal with it immediately.”

When Baochai returned to her courtyard, her face was frosty and her almond eyes were wide open, she immediately called Xi Ren into the room and asked her to find out who was chewing on the old lady's tongue.Xiren didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly found out that it was Xiangyun by using the network of relationships he had woven for many years.
