Red House Spring Fiber

Mrs. Wang was startled, she frowned and said: "My younger sister's house is so out of the master's eyes?"

"If you are a relative, it's fine. Even concubines, mothers and daughters are fine. It's just that my nephew doesn't behave properly in the past. I heard that he is not very filial when he marries a daughter-in-law. You can't be like an uncle like Baoyu." Jia Zheng spoke in a normal way, and seeing that Mrs. Wang seemed a little dissatisfied, he said again: "I heard that there were some troubles before, but now it is not appropriate to start a family and start a business. It can be seen that Yan's father died early, and there is always something to do. No matter how good the niece is, she must be cautious."

Mrs. Wang couldn't refute what she said, but she couldn't help but think of Lin Daiyu: This is the death of both parents, how can Bao girl compare?It's just that it's the old lady's education. If you talk about it theoretically, it doesn't sound good.

However, she never understood Jia Zheng's thoughts - Xue's father died early, Aunt Xue could raise a Xue Pan, no matter how good Xue Baochai was, it was always a little worse.Unlike Daiyu, her parents are excellent in every way, and because she got a child in old age, it is not an early death.As far as education is concerned, Aunt Xue is no match for Mother Jia.Not to mention, the Lin family was originally a noble family, but the Xue family was an official businessman's family, how can there be a general comparison?

The husband and wife were thinking about each other, but they didn't speak. They fell asleep for a while, but they also passed the night together.Although Jia Zheng Shi Shiran went to the government office, Mrs. Wang looked back and thought that her mother-in-law and her husband did not want to marry the Xue family, so she was anxious and did not know what to do.Aunt Xue didn't know it, and when she occasionally talked to Mrs. Wang's sisters, she would inevitably talk about Baochai and Baoyu in the future, which made Mrs. Wang even more speechless.

What's more, she herself is quite unwilling, and still has the intention of marrying Baochai as her daughter-in-law.

Seeing her like this, Baochai felt slightly that the matter was private, and since she was an elder, she didn't know the details, so she didn't agree to speak, but she couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.Jiamu, on the other hand, saw it in her eyes and kept it in her heart. She was even more displeased with Baoyu's marriage to Baochai, and only wanted to find another opportunity to suppress it.

So unaware of the time, Daiyu's dowry gradually spread out, and Jia Mu saw that Baoyu's marriage was temporarily suppressed, so she shifted most of her thoughts to it, and heard that Tanchun cherished the spring and wanted to add makeup to Daiyu, she Then he laughed and said, "How can they have any gold, silver and copper coins?"

Yuanyang had heard about the reason earlier, so she said with a smile: "I didn't know it at first, but I sent the blueprints in the past few days, and people inside and outside saw it a few times, and then it spread. I heard that the third and fourth girls are the old ones. The gold and silver nudes that were scattered every year were taken out, and I entrusted Miss Xue to order them outside. Miss Lin is used to seeing them made inside, so it is better to find a good one from outside and try to find a new style."

"I found all these odds and ends, but I have a heart." Jia Mu thought for a while, and finally said: "It's also because I am old that I don't realize that they are all big girls. That little monthly money may not be enough. Although the official There is everything in it, after all, girls are meticulous, there are always one or two places where money is needed." So after thinking for a while, she sent people to Tanchun and Xichun to give some gold and silver: "I forgot you It's getting bigger and bigger, and it may be useful." Some places such as Xiangyun, Xingxiuyan, Li Qi, and Li Wen also gave some.

Xiangyun didn't take this to heart, but Li Qi, Li Wen, and Xing Xiuyan refused very much. The maid who only gave the money left the money as soon as she let it go.

But Jia's mother waved her hand and said, "It's just a little bit of money. I'm old too. I never thought of this. The eldest daughter-in-law is often sick. Feng girl can't think about it for a while when she is young, and there are many things in the house. Delayed. You are not surprised, but if you want to refuse again, it will be our fault."

In this way, everyone had to accept it, but when they turned around, they couldn't help but do some needlework with Jia Mu to thank them.

Jia's mother never cared about it, but only focused on Daiyu's dowry. One day, she checked it and couldn't help sighing: "I made a dowry with her mother in front of me, and I did it in the same way. At that time, I only hoped that her children would be safe. She also lives in the middle of the capital, and the mother and daughter can often talk to each other. I don’t want to think that time flies, she is gone, and I only leave this little blood for me to raise. But now, this little blood is gradually growing, and in the future I don’t know if I can talk to you on a regular basis after leaving the cabinet.”

"Old lady, and with the blessing of my aunt, Miss Lin must be able to be filial to the old lady for a long time." Yuanyang is the most knowledgeable, and immediately finds words to comfort her.When Jia Mu heard what she said, she was relieved a lot, because she sighed: "If you are missing, I am afraid that I will lose two years of life as an old lady."

Yuanyang smiled, and went to pour tea in person for a while, and brought it to Jiamu: "Old lady, it will be a long time. If I can serve you all my life, it will be my good fortune." Looking at the dowry list, he clicked on the hairpins and rings inside, and said: "The hairpins and rings are most important to be new and ingenious, and the first-class necessary designs should be prepared early, and the other exquisite ones have to be arranged until next year. "

"I know." Yuanyang wrote down this point, asked a few more questions, and ordered it to go on.This is the case here, but Tanchun Xichun there has already got the hairpin and the remaining gold and silver nudes from Baochai. They knew this would be troublesome, so they thanked them for a while, but the next day they went to Baochai's place in person and gave them to each other. I have done needlework, and I have the right to thank you.

When Baochai saw her, she just smiled and said, "It's just that I sent someone to tell you twice, it's about going on the way. If you are like this, it seems that we are sisters." Tanchun Xichun smiled and said that she should bother and so on.They talked for a while, and took some refreshments before leaving.

After the person had left, Baochai brought the needlework to have a closer look, and she couldn't help being startled when she saw it—this work was done delicately and brightly, but it took a lot of time and effort.However, the purse presented by Tanchun is embroidered with a piece of red apricot, and the fan given by Xichun is a piece of lotus pond.Others don't care, but Du Baochai is the most careful and careful person who remembers things the most.Tanchun's red apricots reminded her of Baoyu's birthday in the past, when a group of people gathered in Yihong Courtyard to celebrate his birthday, and drew flower lots, in which Tanchun drew a branch of red apricot planted by the sun against the clouds, and would surely win a noble son-in-law.

In the past, it was just like a joke, but now that I think about it, Baochai can't help but feel a bit sour: At the beginning, the sisters laughed, but now I am afraid that I have become a joke.Everyone in Tanchun has settled down, and there will always be a bright future in the future.I am alone like duckweed, still undecided.

Thinking of this, and looking at the purse again, she couldn't help but think of an ancient poem: Since you are late for school, you don't need to feel sad and complain about Fang.The strong wind blows away all the crimson, and the green leaves become shades and branches are full.She was full of sadness for a while, although she was elegant and reserved on weekdays, at this moment she couldn't help but her eyes were red, she shed two tears, and put the purse down again.I saw the fan in a blink of an eye, saw the red flowers, green leaves and white lotus root on it, and suddenly recited the word for lotus, feeling more and more self-pitying and hurting myself, and tears fell like rain, I don't know how to suppress it.

At this moment, Ying'er came back from outside with a smile on her face. Seeing her like this, she hurriedly put down the box in her hand and went to help Baochai: "What's the matter, girl?" If you want the little girl to come in, you have to scold: "Wen Xing and the others are dead? I went to my wife's place for a while, but they can't serve!"

"It's nothing, so there's no need to shout, but it's not the same thing when others see it." Baochai waved his hand, took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears, and said, "It's because I didn't sleep well yesterday, three sisters and four sisters." My sister came to thank me again, but I agreed for a while. After they left, I was a little dazed, I was afraid that I was lost in sleep, and I didn’t know what dream I had. When I woke up, I felt sad. It's easier. A small matter, if we quarrel, it seems that there is a rift between me and my third sister."

Ying'er stopped talking and saw that Baochai's expression was the same. Although she was puzzled, she didn't dare to say anything more. She hurriedly opened the box and said with a smile: "Miss, this is a new one from my wife. It is said to be with the girl." Put it on and wear it." Inside, there are all kinds of bright hairpins, rings, hairpins, and other things, all of which are carefully crafted with various gemstones, and it is rare to see a little bit of purity in the new elegance.

Baochai looked at it and shook her head, but she couldn't say anything, she just sighed, "I'm so tired, Mom is very tired." There was no more words in the sidelines, but I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart—for my marriage with Jia's family , Mother really spent [-] points of effort, only she is like this, the old lady may not nod, even Baoyu may not be as she thought.

Thinking of this, Baochai's eyes dimmed slightly, and she lightly tapped her finger on a gold hairpin, but her mind went somewhere: Baoyu, Baoyu...

Jia Baoyu, with a pale face, bowed his head and stood with his hands tied, listening to Jia Zheng's instructions: "Now that you are getting older, you are also a person who is going to start a family and start a business, but you don't know how to study and make progress! It's also because of my lack of education. Now that I think about it, But it’s my own mistake, if I don’t educate myself at this time, when will I wait? Even if the king is busy with worldly affairs, he must find the right time. From now on, every day when I come back from the old lady’s place, I will go to my study to read .”

Such orders are like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which splits Jia Baoyu until his face is pale, his liver and gallbladder are torn apart, he can't recover for a long time, and his mouth is just promises.When Jia Zheng saw him like this, he was going to get angry, but he just thought of going to Jia's mother to ask for instructions. Although she didn't stop her, she kept not being frightened.After thinking about it, Fang Fang suppressed the reprimand, and said calmly: "You have something else to say? Go down if you don't, and be careful tomorrow!"

Baoyu left in a muddle and went to find Jia Mu again. Although he was comforted by warm words and said that there would be no hindrance, he was actually a little panicked.I never thought that the first few times I went there, even though I was reprimanded while studying in front of Jia Zheng, it was not as harsh as before.

As a result, even though Baoyu was still in shock and learned stereotypes and other things, he finally endured it.It's just that he never loved these things in his heart, and he had to do it under severe pressure. His heart was really tormented, and he was so tired of studying that he lost a lot of weight within a month.

Seeing it in her eyes, Jia's mother couldn't bear it, so she immediately asked Jia Zheng to ask.Unexpectedly, the two of them talked for a long time, and there was a servant outside hurriedly reporting back,
