Lin Ji's struggling life

Daiyu went back to Jia's mansion after the Lantern Festival, but her life didn't change much.But after she talked with Ban Qian, Ban Qian secretly communicated Lin Daiyu's thoughts with Lin Ji, and then Lin Ji also discussed this issue with Xiong Mama, and asked Xiong Mama to give her extra lessons.

Lin Ji was still a little worried about Lin Daiyu's thoughts. After all, she didn't have any close elders to teach her, so she could easily get into a dead end.In the final analysis, this is the fear of marriage. How many girls in the previous life had this emotion and became leftover women because of it.Although leftover women were not popular in ancient times, this kind of thinking still hindered her future married life.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu entered the marriage preparation state in advance without knowing it.

Mammy Xiong didn't like to leave the hospital after she arrived at Jia's mansion, she stayed in the courtyard all day, trying her best to arrange the time properly for Lin Daiyu to get in touch with various things.Unknowingly, Lin Daiyu's life became enriched.

In the morning, Xiangyun and Xiangyun went to Jia Mu's place to say hello, had breakfast with her, then gossiped at Jia Mu's place, chatted with Sanchun, a few sisters talked and gossiped together, sometimes joined Baoyu, sometimes just a few of them .After Baoyu went to school, they worked as female celebrities under Li Wan's leadership, and had lunch at Jiamu's.In the afternoon, go back to Youran Pavilion for a lunch break. After getting up, practice calligraphy first, and then practice various etiquette with Madam Xiong, standardize standing, sitting, and various postures.An hour later, I will listen to Madam Xiong talk about current events, and some of the principles I have analyzed from it, followed by various questions and answers as a test.

All these made Lin Daiyu gradually become transparent, and sometimes she even felt enlightened.

Of course, under the intentional training of Madam Xiong, Lin Daiyu held a few flower banquets by herself. Although only the three girls from Jia's family and Shi Xiangyun were invited, the whole process was completed.Moreover, she has also started to learn how to manage her own finances. The expenses of the entire small courtyard are now under her supervision. For this reason, she has opened an account book as a daily record, and the Zhuangzi shop under her name has gradually been handed over to her.

The days like this passed very quickly, and it came to May in the blink of an eye.The summer sun has appeared, and Lin Daiyu doesn't like to go out on weekdays, and is bored in her yard all day long.Her small courtyard is cool and ventilated, and it is good that she can live without ice.

And just as she was leisurely living a happy life in her small courtyard, the Xue family went to Beijing.

Mrs. Wang's sister was married to the uncle of the Xue family and went to Jinling. I heard that this time it was because of the death of Mr. Xue that Mr. Xue got involved in a lawsuit in his hometown, so he came to Beijing.Of course, these are just gossips that the people in the small courtyard learned from Ban Qian, but Mrs. Wang only said that her sister came to Beijing for a visit.

But for this new aunt, Lin Daiyu is also looking forward to it. I heard that there is a sister in the Xue family who is about the same age as her. She and Xiangyun are still gossiping, so I don't know what kind of sister she is.

The Xue family on the other side is also helpless, if it is not a last resort, who is willing to leave their hometown and go to others to live with their eyes.

It's just that the life of the Xue family has become more and more difficult since the death of Master Xue. Although they have the name of an imperial merchant, they can't be worried by others.Xue Pan has an indistinct personality, and he made friends with a group of unscrupulous people somewhere. Under their instigation, he spent money lavishly and was cheated a lot. He spent more than half of his family property in half a year.Although Xue Baochai was able to manage the family business for the first time under the guidance of her father, she was an unmarried girl after all, and Xue's mother was soft-hearted and unrestrained. She would give money whenever her son begged her. It's noisy, and the days are getting worse year after year.

After Lin Daiyu lived in Jia's mansion and had an independent courtyard, Mrs. Wang sent letters to her sister one after another, urging her to go to Beijing.The two sisters exchanged frequent letters in daily life, so they were naturally aware of their respective situations. The fact that Mrs. Wang wanted Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu to marry was naturally tacit to both of them.

Xue Pan beat someone to death in Jinling and got into a lawsuit. Based on Wang Ziteng's reputation, Xue's mother suppressed the matter with money.There was really nothing she could do about her son, Xue's mother finally made up her mind, collected the Xue family's property, packed up her things and rushed to the capital in a hurry.

On the way to Beijing, there was a team of bodyguards to protect him, so it was safe. Xue Pan also bought a beautiful girl with a red mole between her eyebrows on the way, but under Xue Baochai's interference, she became her maid.The two brothers and sisters had a quarrel because of this, and Xue Baochai was so angry that Xue Baochai covered his chest and cried out for his distress.

Xue's mother was in a dilemma, and she was even more displeased with this girl.

Hurry up and hurry up, and finally came to the capital at the end of April.After entering the gate of the city wall, the prosperity of the imperial capital rushed over, and the group of people who had been on the road after a long time were finally refreshed.Xue Pan rode his horse in front, led a whole row of carriages through the streets, and finally arrived at Rong Guogong's mansion.

Mrs. Wang greeted her personally at the gate of the main courtyard, with Sanchun and Baoyu by her side.Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun were left by Jiamu's side, and they seemed unhappy when Jiamu saw that Xiangyun didn't know, so Daiyu knew it.

She had listened to Madam Xiong analyze the situation in Jia's mansion long ago, and now it looks more and more like this.Thinking about it, the old lady and aunts are like east and west winds, one side overwhelms the other, and there will always be people who are uncomfortable. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really unpredictable.

Just as Shi Xiangyun was acting cute and making fun of Mrs. Jia, there was a commotion outside the door.The door curtain of Wang Rui's house was raised, Mrs. Wang and Xue Mu walked in together, followed by Sanchun and Xue Baochai, but Baoyu disappeared.Thinking about it, I knew that Jia Zheng must have taken him to a banquet again.

This time when the Xue family went to Beijing, Mrs. Wang whispered in Jia Zheng's ear many times, asking him to spare today and wait at home to meet Xue Pan.

Jia Baoyu was caught by Jia Zheng on the way to meet Xue Pan, and Mrs. Wang brought Xue Mu to see Mrs. Jia.A large group of women crowded together is a lively group, Yingyingyanyan is very lively.Daiyu stood at the bottom, relying on half the money, and did not speak.

"Greetings to the old lady." Mother Xue waited for the old lady Jia to smile and ask her to stand up before she stood up straight, pulled Baochai to introduce to Jiamu and everyone: "Old lady, this is my daughter, named Baochai, this year It's thirteen too, come here, greet the old lady quickly."

Xue Baochai didn't dress very flamboyantly, she looked generous and decent, I saw that she saluted gracefully with a smile on her face, which made people have a good impression.

Mrs. Jia put on the reading glasses that Lin Daiyu had prepared for her, and took a good look at the person.She nodded in satisfaction and asked Yuanyang to take out the gift she had prepared. "This kid behaves really well. The three in our family are hundreds of times stronger."

Xue Baochai took the box from Yuanyang with both hands, and saw two pink pearls the size of a thumb in the box, which was very precious.Seeing this, Xue's mother hurriedly declined, "Oh, old lady, I don't dare to bear such a big gift from you, it's too expensive." Saying that, she was about to return the box to the mandarin duck.

"Auntie doesn't need to do this. It was sent by my grandson. All the maids in the mansion got a share. I specially left it for this child. You can't refuse it." Old lady Jia said cheerfully. "Since my aunt is here, why don't I stay with my sister as a companion, and it will be more convenient for her to have multiple people to take care of her. Besides, she is such a smart girl, I can kiss her dearly if she stays here." Dear fragrance."

"Hahaha, it's rare to hear the old lady praise someone like this. It seems that the old lady likes this girl very much." Wang Xifeng's laughter was very magical, and everyone looked at Xue Baochai cheerfully and jokingly for a while.Of course, after laughing, Wang Xifeng also remembered to introduce to Baochai: "These three are Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun from Xifu. In addition, this is the granddaughter of the old lady, Daiyu, and this is from the old lady's natal family. Miss Xiangyun. This time the house will be lively, you little girls get together and you won’t make troubles."

Xue Baochai was naturally not timid, she naturally and generously saluted the little sisters, and sent the purse she had prepared in advance.Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun had prepared in advance, and they both returned the gift.Tanchun was also prepared, but Yingchun and Xichun were embarrassed.

Of course Baochai would not embarrass everyone, she took a belonging from the two of them as a gift in return, and settled the matter for now.

This made Mrs. Jia look at her with admiration, this girl is not simple.

Mrs. Wang was sitting next to her, and she changed the topic, "Old lady, the second master also meant the same thing. My brother-in-law is going to the immortals. This orphan and widow living alone in the capital might cause trouble. I think our house will go to the southeast. There is also a Pear Fragrance Court in the corner, which is just right." She looked at Wang Xifeng as she spoke, her eyes were intense, and the meaning was already obvious.

Wang Xifeng naturally had to say, "Yeah, why don't you let the second aunt live in Lixiangyuan, I happened to have someone clean it a few days ago. Now I can move in after a little tidying up, and the courtyard has a door that leads to the outer courtyard. , but also convenient."

The old lady Jia naturally had no objection, "That's good, this is your aunt, Feng girl, you have to make good arrangements." It's fine if someone arranges it, and she doesn't want to care so much, "Aunt, what's the matter?" If you need it, you can just find Feng girl to go, and now she is in charge of the house."

Banqian who was standing next to her curled her lips. When her daughter moved in, the small courtyard was empty and dilapidated.It was they who went to tidy up. Now that this person has not arrived, the yard has been tidied up first. It can be seen that the division of closeness and closeness is a bit embarrassing.

Mother Xue saw that the old lady was easy to talk, so she was naturally sensible, "Old lady, we should pay for this supply by ourselves, so that we can live in peace for a long time." It's difficult for her, she still needs to be a little more sensible.

"It's possible." Mother Jia thought that her granddaughter Daiyu also set up her own account book, maybe Mrs. Wang mentioned it to her sister.Since people want to be generous, she can't give them a chance to show it.

Since there were a lot of new arrivals, Mother Xue sat for a while, and then Mrs. Wang took them to Lixiangyuan to clean them up.And Lin Daiyu saw the disturbance, and hurried back to her small courtyard.
