[Red Mansion] Chronicles of a Girl in the Lin Family

Seeing that Mo Yun had already paid her respects, Mother Jia said to the maid beside her, "Go and invite some girls here. Since you are here today, you don't have to go to school anymore." up.

After a while, I saw three nurses and five or six maidservants who were sick, surrounded by three sisters.

Mo Yun looked at these three people, although they were a few years younger than her, and the three people wore the same makeup, but each had their own beauty and charm.Seeing them at this time, I couldn't help sighing, these three people are worthy of being one of the twelve beauties of Jinling, although they are still small in stature, their appearance is already one of the best among women, so they hurried forward to greet the three sisters .

After several people had recognized each other and returned to their seats, the little maid hurriedly poured tea, and then several people began to chat about some household chores and the like.After all, when Mo Yun first arrived, Mother Jia was thinking about Jia Min, so most of the questions were about Jia Min, and Mo Yun answered them one by one.

While chatting, they heard laughter from the backyard, saying: "I am late, I have never greeted a distant guest!" Mo Yun knew it was Wang Xifeng when she heard the voice.Sure enough, a group of daughters-in-law and maids surrounded by a woman came in from the back room.This woman is dressed in colorful embroidery, and her head is full of jewels and emeralds. If ordinary people dress like this, they will definitely not be able to suppress the beauty of the whole body, but they will look vulgar. However, wearing this way makes her look even more human. Delicate and beautiful, all the colors on her body have faded, like a concubine or fairy.

Mo Yun got up to meet her, Jia Mu pointed at her and said with a smile to Mo Yun, "This is your second sister-in-law, she is a famous rogue here, you can just call her Feng Lazi." Mo Yun pursed her lips. Smiling, she said to Wang Xifeng: "Sister-in-law."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward and took Mo Yun's hand for a good look, couldn't stop admiring her in her mouth, and then pulled her back to sit beside Jia Mu, and said with a smile: "It's Sister Lin who came to make me understand It's called a beauty! I used to feel that I was a rare beauty in the world, but seeing my sister today, I'm so inferior to me! Now that I'm here, my sister will often go to my place to sit and sit. They say it's fluffy Shenghui, my sister also told me to brighten up that run-down house for a while!" After that, he seemed to think of something, his face sank, and he sighed: "It's just a pity, Aunt Min, why is she so young, so she is so young? Go!" As he spoke, he wiped away his tears with a handkerchief.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's so easy for your sister to persuade me, but you want to recruit me again! Stop it quickly, don't mention this!"

Only then did Wang Xifeng stop her tears, and turned to smile at Mo Yun again: "When I saw my sister, I put all my heart on her, but I forgot about this, I should fight, I should fight!" So he slapped himself twice with his hand, and told Jia Mu to look at him and laugh.

Seeing Jiamu's smile, Wang Xifeng said again: "Since my younger sister came here, she took care of the house. If there is anything to eat, play, or want, she will come to me. If the servant is not good, just tell me." " Then he asked his wife: "Miss Lin's things have been brought back? How many people have you brought? Hurry up and clean the two servants' rooms so that they can go and rest first." The servants listened Again and again it should be, get busy and get ready.

Mo Yun hurriedly stopped her, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be too busy, let them bring up the things before going down to have a rest." Then he called Luo Yanqingrui and the two to bring up the prepared meeting gift.The two agreed and hurried down.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "My sister is so polite, since she came here, she took care of her family, why did she give gifts?"

Mo Yun sat next to Jiamu and said with a smile, "Since this is my first visit to my grandma's house, it's better to be courteous. Besides, when I come, I have to trouble my sisters, sisters, sisters, and aunts. Now take it." If I ask for something from me in the future, everyone will have no reason to refuse, right? I have taken advantage of it!" After finishing speaking, he squeezed his eyes and smiled around, then fell into Jia Mu's arms again, She said coquettishly, "Grandmother said yes or no?"

What she said caused everyone in the hall to laugh. Mother Jia put her arms around her, tapped her forehead with her hand, and said with a smile, "You narrow-minded ghost."

Wang Xifeng also said flatteringly: "My sister is so intelligent, she looks like the granddaughter of my ancestor. No wonder my ancestor talked about it every day. I should help my sister when she has something to do, and I shouldn't accept this gift." , but since my younger sister said she would give it to me, then I'll take it. Don't worry, my younger sister, since I've accepted a gift from my younger sister, you can come to me if you have anything to do in the future, and I will definitely not refuse!" The appearance made everyone laugh again.

While talking, Luo Yan Qingrui came in with a few little maids behind her, holding a box in their hands.Mo Yun hurriedly got up and took several carved boxes from Qingrui and presented them to Mother Jia.Said: "I, Yu'er and Ping'an specially prepared this for my grandmother. Take a look, do you like it?"

When Jia's mother heard that it was a gift specially prepared by her granddaughter and grandson, she couldn't help being overjoyed, and opened it one by one to look at it.

The first box opened was a forehead embroidered with bats and decorated with pearls and jade. When Jia Mu saw it, she took it out and asked Hu Po to replace it for her.Mo Yun smiled and said: "This was made by Yu'er. She and Ping'an were young, and this time because of their mother's serious illness, they couldn't come here. So I made this forehead wipe specially for Show filial piety."

Mother Jia smiled and said yes, and touched it with one hand, feeling very satisfied.Seeing that there were two more boxes, they opened them together.One box contained a picture of calligraphy, and the other contained a pair of knee pads.

Mo Yun quickly explained: "This character was written by Ping An, who was enlightened at the beginning, and heard that I was going to visit my grandmother, so I wrote these [-] longevity characters with my heart, hoping that my grandmother will be as happy as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan. I made this knee pad, I'm not very good at sewing, I hope grandma doesn't dislike it."

It was too late for Mother Jia to be overjoyed when she saw these things, so she couldn't be disgusted, and she kept yelling, yes, yes.

Mo Yun was also relieved to see that Jiamu liked it, and ordered Luoyan Qingrui to divide up the rest.Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang are a pair of Ruyi, a golden face, two gold hairpins and two silver hairpins.Wang Xifeng had a pair of hairpins with a gold hairpin and a silver hairpin, while Li Wan, being a widow, gave her a pearl hairpin with two silver hairpins.Sanchun got two hairpins and two purses, both of the same style but with different gem beads embedded in them.Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu added some copybooks with some of the Four Treasures of the Study, while Jia Huan and Jia Cong obviously lost one share compared to the above two.

Seeing that there is a meeting ceremony, everyone's face is full of joy, and even the tone of their speech to Mo Yun is three points of affection.Seeing that the gifts had all been distributed, Mo Yun called someone to bring a small box, but when she opened it, there were fifty ingots of gold.

The people present all whispered when they saw it, Jiamu frowned and said, "What is Yun'er doing? Could it be that you come to the house and ask you to spend money?"

Mo Yun hurriedly said: "Grandmother, don't be angry, it's just that although Yun'er came alone, she brought a lot of women and servants, and it would cost a lot of money if she paid for it from the mansion. And father I also explained that half of it will be handed over to grandma no matter what, so you should treat it as our filial piety and keep it! The other half is a gift, if there is anything you want to eat or play on weekdays For the money, I just ask Lian's second sister-in-law for it!"

Seeing so many golds, Wang Xifeng's eyes were a little red, and she was not willing to let go.Although half of it is to be handed over to the old lady, the remaining half is equivalent to two to three thousand taels of silver. Mo Yun is going to participate in the general election in one year, and how much a little girl can spend in this year , the rest is not all from the Rongguo Mansion!Regardless of the fact that the Rongguo Mansion is still full of flowers, only the butlers like them know that the Rongguo Mansion has already started to make ends meet.In the past two years, she has put the housekeeper's right and her own dowry into it. It is strange that she can let go of such a large income at this time!

At this time, after hearing Mo Yun's explanation, Wang Xifeng also said, "What my sister said is that since it is to honor the ancestors, you should accept it. After all, this is also the wish of my uncle and sister, isn't it?"

Listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Jia's mother also understood the current situation of Rongguo Mansion. Looking at the gold in this box, she really couldn't say anything for Mo Yun to take it away.So I just sighed, nodded, and said lovingly to Mo Yun, "It's too expensive for my uncle, so I will accept the 500 taels of gold. In the future, if Yun'er has anything to do, just ask your sister-in-law, if she doesn't agree , you come to me, and I will vent your anger on you!" After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Put half of this in the commune for your usual expenses, and leave the rest with me, waiting for you When I leave the cabinet in the future, I will make up for you!"

Hearing the word "add makeup", Mo Yun couldn't help blushing, covered her face with a handkerchief and said, "Grandmother is ashamed of her!" Everyone laughed again.

After laughing, Mrs. Wang asked Wang Xifeng with a loving face, "Did you let go of this month's money? Did you find the satin that I taught you to look for the day before yesterday?"

Wang Xifeng was shocked, thinking that Mrs. Wang hadn't said anything about the monthly money and satin before, but she couldn't save her face at this time. Fortunately, the monthly money was released early two days ago, so she was busy He smiled and said, "The monthly money has already been put away, but the satin that my wife told me to look for a few days ago just went upstairs to look for it, but I didn't find it. I think my wife remembered it wrong?"

Mrs. Wang said: "It doesn't matter if you can find it or not. It's just that you should take two bolts of satin to make clothes for your sister. Let's look for it later in the evening. Don't forget."

Wang Xifeng said: "How can I forget such an important event? The ingredients have already been found, and I just wait for my wife to see them over."

Madam Wang smiled and nodded.
