Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Everyone chatted and laughed with Jia Mu, but Baoyu became more and more impatient, fidgeting, and wanted to speak, but when he reached the edge of his mouth, he hesitated to speak.

Jia Mu chatted and laughed with everyone, glanced at Baoyu inadvertently, patted his hand with a smile, and said, "Baoyu is like a living monkey on weekdays, but I'm a little surprised that Baoyu is quiet today."

Baoyu looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, and even smiled embarrassingly. He glanced at Daiyu from the corner of his eye, but lowered his eyes in disappointment.Daiyu didn't pay attention to this at all, she just sat down beside Jiamu, playing with the silk belt around her waist.

Everyone raised their heads in amazement. As Jia Mu said, today's Baoyu is much quieter than usual, so they couldn't help but look at Daiyu, with some speculation in their hearts.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Baoyu threw himself into Jia Mu's arms, and said lingeringly, "The old ancestor laughed at me." Then he looked at Mrs. Wang's face, leaned on Jia Mu, and said, "Old ancestor, look, we two Living in this main courtyard is a bit lonely, if you let Sister Lin move back to live, we should get closer to each other."

According to Jiamu's love for Daiyu and herself, she thought that in front of everyone, Jiamu would definitely agree, so she said it in front of everyone.

Mrs. Wang's face changed drastically when she heard this, she deliberately took advantage of Daiyu's return to the south to separate them, how could Baoyu's few words push the matter back to the original place?

"Baoyu, you should be more careful when you say these words. You are not young, and your sister Lin is also old. What does living together look like? If you let me hear these words, be careful. " Without thinking about it, Mrs. Wang's words of reprimand have already come out.

When Baoyu heard this, he thought of Jia Zheng's ashen face, and immediately hid in Jia's mother's arms in fright.

Everyone already knew what Madam Wang meant for Daiyu to move out. They argued with Jia's mother at first, but finally asked Jia Zheng to come forward.Knowing it with reason and moving it with emotion, it was hard to persuade Jiamu to compromise and let Daiyu live in the courtyard next to Jiamu, the boudoir where Jia Min had not left the court.

All the people, who were startled after hearing Baoyu's words, were even more speechless when they heard Mrs. Wang's eager words. Except for Jia Mu, everyone else was elders, so it was hard to say anything.

When Daiyu heard this, she was furious and sneered, as if she didn't know the rules very much and wanted to live with Baoyu.How can she deal with such words?

It is not rare for her to live under the same roof as Baoyu, but if she can prevent Mrs. Wang from being like this, it is also her top priority to keep Mrs. Wang in her heart.

Seeing that Mother Jia's face was ashen, Daiyu got up slowly, walked to Madam Wang, and said: "Everything my aunt said is reasonable, and for the sake of the younger generation, Daiyu thanked my aunt in advance." The meaning became more obvious, and for a moment, the entire room was silent.

Mrs. Wang just realized at this time that the too eager excuse made her expose the original truth hidden in her heart. At this time, hearing Daiyu get up to thank her, she was even more annoyed.

With an embarrassing smile, now I can only think of a way to save face, took Daiyu's little hand, and sighed: "Don't blame the big girl, I am an aunt, and I was thinking of you, thinking that now that we are getting older, if we still live together Under the same roof, there was an accident, wouldn't it make the gossips of the bad-mouthed women below ruin the reputation of our house and the reputation of the big girl?"

The rambling words were just to dispel Jiamu's idea of ​​letting Baoyu and Daiyu live together, but she couldn't remember that her own words had already slandered Daiyu's innocence.If word like this spread, people would say that Daiyu was unruly and had made her aunt so on guard.

Listening to Mrs. Wang's self-justified chaotic words, with an appearance of thinking about the overall situation, Daiyu became more and more angry. Although she, Lin Daiyu, was living under someone else's fence, she would definitely not allow anyone to slander her innocence like this.

"Daiyu respects her aunt as an elder, and her aunt thinks of Daiyu. Daiyu is grateful in her heart. However, Daiyu was born with parental upbringing, so naturally she will not discredit her parents. Although she lives in her grandfather's mansion now, she dare not say It is very meticulous, but still behaves well, and also understands etiquette and shame. If my aunt's words are spread, won't it make outsiders say that Daiyu has some irregularities?"

While speaking, tears rolled down, desolately, thinking that if Jia Min hadn't passed away early and Lin Ruhai had no choice, why would she need to live under the fence, and why should she endure the gossip of her mother-in-law?

Mother Jia held Daiyu in her arms, stared at Mrs. Wang, and said coldly, "Fortunately, you are still an elder, and what you said made people feel ashamed. Although Baoyu and Daiyu live under the same roof, But they live in two separate places, and with my useless old woman here, I want to hear the gossip of some unruly servant outside."

On the one hand, he asked Sister Feng to find out the source of such words.

Seeing Mother Jia furious, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up and listened, but they were only worried that Mother Jia would let Daiyu return to her courtyard.

Everyone stood up and stood respectfully, not daring to go forward to persuade them, after all, what Mrs. Wang said was too radical today.

After spending half a day in his heart, Tanchun saw that no one dared to speak out, only Mrs. Wang stood there in embarrassment, and could not help but step forward, and said softly: "Old lady, please calm down. Listen to Tanchun's words."

Upon hearing this, Mother Jia raised her eyes to look at Tanchun, but said nothing. Seeing that Mother Jia was silent, Tanchun was a little embarrassed, but she still said: "

Old lady, Tanchun thought, the wife is also a defensive word, and never said that anyone has said such gossip. "

Daiyu heard Tanchun come out to talk, and looked up at Tanchun with cold eyes. She never thought that Tanchun would come out to intercede in such a situation. Perhaps, what Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang wanted was such a step down. The identity of the lady is different.

Looking back at Jia's mother, as expected, Jia's mother smiled coldly, but she softened her expression, thinking that now that Yuan Chun was promoted, as Yuan Chun's biological mother, no matter how wrong Mrs. Wang was, she couldn't expose it, and ruined Concubine Yuan's Famous, then said: "This is also reasonable, I am too confused. Forget it, when you speak in the future, you should think carefully before speaking."

After a pause, he continued: "I know that you housekeepers have worked hard, but those who have nothing to gossip should also be rectified. In our mansion, the empress is now likely to return to the province. If the servants in the mansion are not managed well, let them How does the empress gain a foothold in the palace?"

When Mrs. Wang heard that Mother Jia didn't blame her, she suddenly relaxed a little, looked up at Tanchun who was retreating and nodded, and she and Sister Feng bowed to answer.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's approving eyes, Tanchun was overjoyed, but when he stepped back, he saw Yingchun's sigh and Xichun's disdain, and immediately turned his joy into nothingness.

Looking at Baoyu's hopeful eyes and Mrs. Wang's defensive look, Jia's mother said: "You just have to be busy with the front matter. My wife doesn't care about the latter matter, but she can arrange some things."

Mrs. Wang was very anxious when she heard this, and said: "How dare you bother the old lady? If this is the case, wouldn't it be blamed for the unfilial sons and grandchildren?"

"What's so unfilial about you? It's just that my old lady has nothing to do and wants to have some fun and play with her granddaughter and grandson."

Hearing what Jiamu said, Mrs. Wang was even more anxious, but she couldn't refute Jiamu, so she could only look at Sister Feng anxiously.Sister Feng was unmoved, which made Madam Wang gnash her teeth with hatred.

In the blink of an eye, Sister Feng saw the flash of hatred on Mrs. Wang's face, and even sighed. In the current situation, no matter whether she said it or not, she would be at odds, so she stood there silently, Don't dare to say anything.

Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction, and said, "In that case, let Daiyu move back to live with me, an old woman, and I want to see who dares to talk nonsense."

Mrs. Wang was anxious and said, "Old lady..."

Mother Jia's eyes swept over, making Mrs. Wang silent immediately, anxious like a cat scratching her heart. Although Mother Jia has left home for a long time, she still has the final say on family affairs, and Jia Zheng is also respectful to her. Do what you say.

Daiyu looked at the protection on Mother Jia's face, the hatred and unwillingness on Mrs. Wang's face, the joy Baoyu didn't dare to show, and the silence that everyone didn't dare to speak. She felt very sad and chilled.

Although Jia's mother had a lot of thoughts to defend her, she also had other thoughts. After hearing what they said to each other, she understood very well, and felt even more desolate.

Now that the concubine of Yuan is promoted, I am afraid that in the future, Jiamu's position in power in the mansion will be lowered. Now she uses this matter to establish her prestige, so that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law below, and the servants who are stalking the power, understand that although she is only Yuan The grandmother of the imperial concubine can still control Mrs. Wang and cannot go beyond her.

But she didn't want to be a pawn in the fight between them, so she stood up and said, "Thank you grandma for your love. But, as my aunt said, Brother Bao and I are both older. People ridiculed Daiyu for not knowing how to behave and be ashamed. She actually ignored her grandmother's kindness."
