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

When Ruqin left the yard, Bihe Qiushui cleaned up the table a little bit, replaced the pastry with a few plates of fresh fruit, sat back at the previous position, and started sewing.Just doing it while thinking about what Ruqin said about Nanny Li.

Bi Hebian is doing her needlework.Then she said angrily: "Then Madam Li is too much! I usually look respectful to the girl, but I didn't expect it to be so shameless. Fortunately, I usually feel that it is not easy for her to be old!"

Qiu Shui stopped what she was doing, and sighed: "That little maid is really not easy. There is a sick brother in the family, and the monthly money is greedy for money by people like Li Nai. If it weren't for a foster mother, it would be really difficult. I don't know what to do." After finishing speaking, he looked at Mo Yun and said, "Miss, what can I do, not to mention letting Nanny Li go back to Rongguo Mansion, at least let her stop greedy for the monthly money and things of the little maids Just fine."

Mo Yun was lying on the imperial concubine's couch, holding a book in her hand, but she didn't read much, she was just thinking about how to make Nanny Li stay in the mansion peacefully and stop being a monster.

Bi He was still talking while doing her work: "It would be great if Nanny Li couldn't move!"

When Mo Yun heard it, his eyes lit up, but he thought too much. He wanted to think of a way to drive Nanny Li out without hurting Rongguo Mansion's face, but the easiest way would be to make Nanny Li unable to do so. Just move it?As the saying goes, it's a hundred days, and when the hundred days pass, Jia Min will almost be able to give birth.After Jia Min gave birth, are you afraid that there will be no excuse to drive this mother Li back?

Thinking of this, Mo Yun hurriedly asked Qiu Shui to call a few little girls, and ordered a few times like this.A few days later, I heard Ruqin next to Jia Min say that Nanny Li accidentally broke her leg when she went out in the middle of the night for some reason. The doctor said it hurt her bones and she had to lie on the bed for at least three months. Woolen cloth!

Hearing this news, all the girls in Jia Min Garden were all smiling, and they were all saying in private that it was Nanny Li who did too many bad things and got retribution, but some shrewd ones also wondered why Nanny Li went out in the middle of the night. What did they do, only Mo Yun's two big maids and a few young maids who were doing things smiled when they heard the words, and didn't say much.

After a while, the weather became colder and colder, but the whole Lin Mansion began to feel a little dry, not because of anything else, but because that year's festival was coming.

A few days before the New Year's Eve, the mansion is preparing the gold and silver barley for the New Year's rewards, as well as all kinds of clothes for the masters and servants of the mansion, and more importantly, all kinds of rituals to be sent to each mansion. This is the New Year's Eve The most important thing in preparation.After all, Lin Ruhai, as the patrolling censor, had to communicate with various officials in Yangzhou, and etiquette was one of them.

Because Nanny Li was injured recently, Jia Min couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he was anxious. Although it was a very busy Chinese New Year, at least there was no Nanny Li to add to the chaos, and with Mo Yun's help, it was better than the previous few years. It's easier.

It's just because Madam Li was injured, those little maids were crushed by her before, and they suddenly had time to breathe, and they couldn't help being a little impetuous, and they couldn't help doing things sloppily and carelessly, until Mo Yun lost his temper in the past few days A few of them stopped.

A few days later, the festival gifts of each family have been sent, most of them are nothing more than some silk, satin and silk, various snack boxes, and various earth rituals and so on.

On December 21st, the official seal was officially sealed. From this day to the opening of the seal on the 21st of the first lunar month, Lin Ruhai spent a whole month at home with his wife and children.

Finally, the day of the Spring Festival came, and the streets were full of New Year's atmosphere, and so was the Lin Mansion.The mansion is decorated with lights and festoons, and all kinds of food and utensils are ready in the kitchen, waiting for the family banquet to start.

The population of the head of the Lin family is not large, the old lady Lin also went there two years ago, and now only Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Lin Moyun are the only serious masters in the house.

Even so, the table was still full of family banquet dishes.Fortunately, most of the dishes were only placed on the table before being appreciated, and there was no waste.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will go out to pay New Year's greetings, because Jia's family is in the capital, not far away from Yangzhou, and the Lin family's main family is in Suzhou, and since the old master Lin returned to the west with a crane, there has been less and less contact with each other. Well, so far, it's just a few gifts during the New Year and holidays, and there is no such thing as a New Year's greeting.

In this way, when others were busy paying New Year's greetings, the Lin family became more peaceful, but Mo Yun followed Lin Ruhai to pay a visit to Mr. Li, and got a piece of white jade pendant.

Other than that, a few friends of Lin Ruhai's close friends came to visit rarely, and the rest of the time they lived a leisurely life.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Unlike the quiet Lin Mansion, Jia Min's natal Rongguo Mansion in the capital is bustling and bustling.Not to mention that Jia's family has a large population, but it is said that the three major families of Jinling are in the capital, and the relationship between them is indispensable.

This day was the first day of the new year, and it happened to coincide with the eldest girl Yuan Chun's birthday, and everyone in the house was beaming with joy.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Wang took Yuanchun, Mrs. Xing took Jia Lian, and the wet nurse hugged Yingchun. They came to pay New Year's greetings to Jiamu. In addition, Jiamu was holding Baoyu in her hand, and Baoyu's nurse beside her, and went to the mandarin ducks, The Rongxi Hall, which was originally quite spacious, was packed to the brim with glass and other maids, big and small.

As Xu Shi was getting older, he liked to watch the bustling scene. Although it was a bit noisy, Mother Jia felt much more at ease.

Just looking at these one by one, and thinking of his most beloved little daughter Jia Min staying in Yangzhou alone, he felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and it couldn't help showing it on his face.

When Xing and Wang saw the old lady's expression was wrong, they knew that the old lady was missing her daughter. Mrs. Xing was stupid and couldn't speak, but Mrs. Wang took the lead: "Isn't mother worried about sister-in-law?"

Mother Jia sighed: "I don't know if my poor Min'er is doing well in Yangzhou now! A letter came a few days ago as a gift, saying that life is going well. But after all, he is not by my side. If there is something Suffering will definitely not tell me."

Yuan Chun, who was originally sitting by Mrs. Wang's side, got up and walked to the old lady's side, and said next to Jia's mother, "Grandma, don't worry, my aunt is smart since she was a child, and she will live a good life. Besides, I often hear people say that my uncle is a man. Qingzheng, and my aunt are deeply in love as husband and wife, and my aunt is pregnant again, so I must take care of my aunt in every possible way."

Mrs. Xing was also busy flattering her when she heard the words: "The eldest girl is right, besides, our Rongguo Mansion is behind my sister-in-law. If the uncle treats my sister-in-law badly, my Rongguo mansion will definitely come to her door to stand up for her!"

When Jia Mu heard it, her expression that had improved slightly changed immediately: "Is Rongguo Mansion such a bullying family? You can only say this in front of your family. Don't everyone have to think that my Jia family is arrogant and domineering, and even insists on husband and wife affairs because of its power? How will other dignitaries think of my Jia family in the future?!"

Mrs. Xing could only shut her mouth in embarrassment when she heard the words, secretly resenting Mother Jia for not treating her face, she just sat on the side and didn't speak.Mrs. Wang, who had always been at odds with her, laughed secretly in her heart at this stupid person, and was glad that Jia She was not up to date and married such a house-filler, which made her smart and filial.

Seemingly startled by Jiamu's anger just now, Baoyu, who had been sleeping in Jiamu's arms, burst into tears, holding the psychic jade tightly in her hand while crying.

Jia's mother hurriedly lowered her head to look at Baoyu, coaxing her as she watched, but she didn't know that Jia Baoyu, who was entrusted by Shenying's waiter, loved her good-looking sisters and sisters the most in her life, and hated her mother-in-law with wrinkled faces the most.Although all the memories were washed away in the reincarnation, the instinct was still there, and she cried even more when she saw Jiamu's old-fashioned appearance.

Mrs. Wang, who was sitting under Jiamu's hand, felt tight when she heard Baoyu's cry.After all, it was my baby son who was conceived in October, and he loved him like an eyeball.

But when she was just born, she was carried by the old lady to raise her. She only saw her a few times in the morning, and she cried the last time she saw her on the first day of the new year. She almost stood up.Instead, Yuan Chun, who was leaning against Jia's mother, stopped her with a wink.

Seeing that his mother had calmed down, Yuan Chun straightened up a little and began to tease Baoyu.I thought that Baoyu would cry for a while, but I didn't want to see Yuan Chun's face like a spring plum blossoming in snow, so he stopped crying immediately, and instead giggled, the two little hands holding the psychic Baoyu loosened, and turned to Yuan Chun opened his eyes, as if he wanted Yuan Chun to hold him.

Seeing Baoyu's cute and smart appearance, Yuanchun was also happy, and couldn't help looking at Jia Mu, his eyes full of expectation.

Mother Jia was also happy to see the two juniors being affectionate, so she handed over the precious jade she was holding to Yuan Chun, and let Yuan Chun hug and coax her for a while. The two went to play.

Seeing that the two were having fun, Mother Jia felt a lot less depressed because of Jia Min's absence. She turned to Madam Wang and asked, "Why didn't you see Zhuer today?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and went back: "The spring exam is only a few days away. Zhu'er said that she wants to come back from the spring exam this year, so she is still working hard in the study."

Jia Mu nodded and explained: "It's a good thing for Zhu'er to work hard, but you, a mother, should also pay attention, don't let Zhu'er stay in that study every day, it will be bad if you burn yourself out. You also go and talk to the second child, don't keep Zhu'er in the study all day long, since it's a big New Year's Eve, why don't you let him have a good New Year's Eve?"

Mrs. Wang nodded yes, and hurriedly called a little maid to ask her to call Jia Zhu.

Mother Jia asked again: "How are the preparations for Yuanchun's birthday?"

Yuanyang replied: "Back to the old lady, the big girl's birthday is almost ready." Then he told Jiamu who was invited for Yuanchun's birthday, how many tables were set up, and what dishes were on the table. .

Mother Jia listened and said: "From my 200 taels of silver, I will call two theater troupes from outside, and add a few more dishes to the table. My daughter's birthday in Rongguo Mansion is going to be very lively. ” He also ordered Glass to get two sets of golden head masks inlaid with red treasures, plus a few fox fur cloaks from the emperor, which should be Yuanchun’s birthday present.
