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

After Wang Xifeng specially greeted Daiyu at home that day, he went back to Ningguo Mansion to attend to Qin Keqing's funeral.

Due to time constraints and a lot of work, I have been busy for a while.Fortunately, she had resigned from her job as housekeeper before, so even though Beijing Zhonghong had a lot of trivial matters, she didn't have to go to work after all, which saved her a lot of effort.

As for Ping'an and Daiyu, they naturally go to Jia Mu every day to wake up in the morning and evening.After inviting An, they stayed in Mo Yun's room, Daiyu learned about housekeeping with Madam Zhang, while Mo Yun taught Ping An carefully with the "Four Books".Occasionally, if the spring is just right, I will play hard in the garden with the Sanchun sisters.

Baoyu, on the other hand, has been looking for Daiyu to play with her every day since she met Daiyu that day, but she was rejected by Nanny Zhang every time.It's been a long time, and I didn't have the initial interest. Sometimes when I saw Zhang Nanny, Zhang Nanny was smiling at him, but he could always imagine that Zhang Nanny was smiling at him before. The face is serious and rigid in horror.

And because of Qin Keqing's death, he was very worried about Qin Zhong, so except for the occasional occasional sister gathering, he would appear in Dongfu most of the time with Qin Zhong.

At first Daiyu was very curious about Baoyu because she saw his familiar face.However, because of Zhang Nanny's teaching, she also became a little impatient with Baoyu looking for her every day, plus what Zhang Nanny told her about the assault in advance, she was disgusted with Jia Baoyu. He kept a distance of two points, and kept a few points away from him when he came and went on weekdays.

After a few more days, it finally came to the night of companionship, and for the funeral the next day, Wang Xifeng simply stayed in Ningguo Mansion that night.The funeral began at dawn on the second day, so it goes without saying how grand the scene was.Even those who came to send the funeral, which one would not be the object of everyone's fawning?That is, the remaining six families of the "Eight Dukes" are all those who came to inherit the title, let alone the princes and grandsons of those families.

After walking for a short time, I saw the sacrificial sheds specially set up by the four kings of Dongping, Nan'an, and Xining for the Qin family. The king of Beijing, Shui Rong, changed into plain clothes because he remembered the relationship between his grandfather and his grandfather back then. Come to pay homage.

All of this was seen by Shui Jing, Lu Ziqiu and others who came from Weifu.

Shui Jing didn't come here specifically to watch Qin's funeral.It's just a rare free time today, I want to go out for a stroll, and eat by the way, ahem, to understand the people's sentiments.Seeing that today, after going down to court in the water, he didn't leave in a peaceful and peaceful manner like before, and he looked a little hurried, so he became a little bit interested.Originally, I wanted to watch Shui Rong's gossip together, but I didn't expect to see such a good show.

Shui Jing and Lu Ziqiu were also standing in the opposite place, and their clothes were no different from those of ordinary wealthy people, so not many people noticed them for a while.

I don't know if it's a habit I learned from Shui Yi, it's spring, but Shui Jing is already fanning with a fan, afraid that people won't see it.He and Lu Ziqiu were talking about the state of Qin Keqing's funeral. Although the words were said with a smile, they were filled with a chill that made people feel uncomfortable.Of course, according to Lu Ziqiu's temper, most of the time it was just him talking while Lu Ziqiu just listened silently.

After talking for a long time, Shui Jing couldn't take it anymore, he closed the fan in his hand, tapped Lu Ziqiu twice, and said with a puzzled face: "How can a little girl like you like this? I heard that the girl from the Lin family you have a crush on is a well-educated poet, and her father Lin Hai is also a handsome and gentle person, if I see you and look down on you, what should I do?"

Hearing that Shui Jing said that his future wife didn't like him when he disagreed, no matter how well-bred Lu Ziqiu was, he couldn't help but darken his face in silence, and said after a long silence: "She won't."

As soon as Shui Jing heard the interest, he said: "How do you know that she can't? You know that she lives in the Rongguo Mansion right now. I heard that the young master Baoyu in the Rongguo Mansion cherishes flowers the most. He has a handsome and romantic face. The young girl now loves this kind of gentleman Pianpian the most, not to mention that Miss Lin still confronts him every day, so when it comes to looks, you can't compare to him."

Lu Ziqiu endured it again and again, if he didn't still think that this person is the current emperor, he might have the heart to chop him off with a single knife.

Lu Ziqiu's face turned blue and then purple, purple and then black, and finally suppressed the disrespectful thought, gritted his teeth and said, "Please don't talk about it, uncle, it will damage the girl's reputation."

Shui Jing wanted to say more, but saw a ragged man with a hesitant face, looking like he wanted to step forward, so he stopped talking.

The man's clothes looked only [-] to [-] percent new, but they were clean, even if there were small holes in some places, they were carefully mended with cloth.Although the man is poor, his eyes are very clear.He stood not far from Shui Jing and the others, looking straight at this side, with an expression on his face that he wanted to come but didn't dare to come.

In the end, the man seemed to have made up his mind, hesitated for a while, and then slowly came over with his fists clenched.

Seeing the man like this, Shui Jing and Lu Ziqiu knew that the man might have something to ask, and saw him hesitate, but they didn't bother, they just stood smiling and looked at the man, waiting for him to speak first.

The man was not tall, he looked up at Shui Jing and Lu Ziqiu and then lowered his head.Seeing that the two of them didn't show any disgusted expressions, the man felt a little more at ease.

He swallowed, coughed twice to clear his throat, shrank his body, raised his head from time to time to look nervously, and stammered to Shui Jing, "Dare to ask, dare to ask about the fan in Xiongtai's hand, Is it also written by Zhao Gong, the master of the previous dynasty?"

Shui Jing understood the reason why the man came, and replied softly: "Brother Tai has good eyesight, but this fan is written by Mr. Zhao."

After receiving Shui Jing's answer, the man's shrunken body suddenly stretched out, and the expression on his face became less nervous and more ecstatic: "Just now when I saw Xiongtai using this fan, I felt that the fan above The calligraphy and painting look familiar, I thought I was mistaken, but I didn’t expect it to be true!”

After all, seeing the astonishment on Shui Jing's face, he realized what he had just done, afraid that he would offend Shui Jing, he quickly retracted his body, and explained in a low voice: "I didn't mean to offend, it's just that I have been in my family since I was a child. I have a few fans of Mr. Zhao, so I have done some research on them. I saw Xiongtai also has them today, so I am a little excited." Then he bowed to Shui Jing and said, "I ask Xiongtai to forgive me! "

Shui Jing hurriedly helped him up, and said, "What is there to forgive? Today I met a fellow friend, and it's fate. Why don't we go to the Guiyuan Building over there, order some wine and vegetables, and talk while eating?"

The man was a little moved, but he hesitated when he heard that he was going to Guiyuan Tower.In the end, his face turned red, and he said to Shui Jing, "It's not that I don't know good and bad, it's just that I just met a friend today, so I came up to ask, and the other is that I'm really short of money, and I've failed my brother's good intentions."

Shui Jing laughed, patted the man and said: "What's the matter, it's just like what brother said, but it's all about meeting a fellow friend, even so, it's my face, so why not ask me to treat you to a meal? Brother Come and go with me quickly!"

The man was still a little hesitant after hearing this, and said, "How can you let Xiongtai spend money?"

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Shui Jing pulled him past him and walked forward, saying, "Brother, just help me, the little brother behind me is my nephew, and he watches me drink every day. Today He will definitely have no way to stop me when I meet my brother. Tell him to sit on one side later, and let us have a good talk..." The voices of the two gradually faded away as they moved away.

Lu Ziqiu was deliberately forgotten by Shui Jing, staring at the two people's backs as they went away, shook his head after a while, and hurriedly followed.

After taking the restaurant and sitting down, Shui Jing found out that the man's surname was Shi and his name was Hao. Although his family was poor, he had hidden more than 20 original works of Mr. Zhao.

Shui Jing was very puzzled, and asked Shi Hao: "Since there are so many original works in Brother Shi's house, why don't you sell two handfuls for some gold and silver, so that life will be easier?"

Shi Hao took a sip from his wine glass and said: "Brother Jin, how can you say such a thing, these fans are left for me by my ancestors, how can I let these things be dirty? Life is difficult, but in the end You can live on, but this fan is given to someone else, but it will never come back. What's more, in my hands, I can at least guarantee that I will treasure these fans and give them to others," he smiled wryly He said: "It's fine if you treasure it well. If you just covet the reputation of Mr. Zhao and get the fan to show off everywhere, I'm afraid the true spirit in the fan will be sad."
