The Palm Jade of the Red Chamber

The days in Jia's mansion were unhurried, April passed in a blink of an eye, and the arrival of May made the temperature of the weather rise slowly. Daiyu wrote a letter to her father and husband, talking about some things about Jia's mansion, For example, Mother Jia saw that there were not enough people to serve them, so she gave a second-class maid in her yard to Daiyu, who named her Zijuan.

Zijuan is smart and clever, and Dongmei asks Bailing to take Zijuan with him. Sometimes Dongmei directly asks Bailing to take Zijuan to deal with some matters in Jia's mansion.The snow geese beside Daiyu are lively, and they have already gotten along with some of the little maids in Jia's mansion, while Bailing's temperament is very calm, and he is well-organized and knows how to measure; the two young servants Lin Shu and Lin Mo beside Tianyou They are all born at home, and they are only three or five years older than Tianyou. They are the sons of Nanny Li, while Su Lan and Su Ju were chosen by Jia Min for Tianyou. They should have been four. Brought two.

Su Lan is gentle and good at female craftsmen. Apart from Daiyu, most of Tianyou's clothes are in charge of Su Lan; Su Ju is an outstanding cook and is the daughter of a cook. So she stayed by her side and became a second-class maid, and finally she was trained and placed by Tianyou's side. Although she was only 15 years old, she had grown up to be slim and beautiful, but she was good at knowing etiquette and rules, and her temper was also aggressive. No one dared to bully her to go to the government.

Mo Sheng and Calligraphy and Painting are two maidservants chosen by Tianyou himself. They are not very old, as old as Lin Mo, but only eight years old. They were bought from Ren Yazi last year. Maybe they have suffered a lot before. The two children are extremely well-behaved and diligent, and they are also serious in doing things, which makes Nanny Li very satisfied.

Originally, Mother Jia also wanted people around her to serve Tianyou, but Daiyu stopped her. Tianyou's own servants were enough, and Daiyu also subconsciously didn't want people around Mother Jia to serve Tianyou. This is unconscious repulsion.

"Sister, what else do you want to say to father?" Tianyou sat beside Daiyu, lying on the table to watch Daiyu write letters to her father.

"The homework that Mr. gave you will be ready later and sent to Mr. for inspection." Daiyu saw that she had nothing to say, so she stopped writing, picked it up and read it carefully, seeing that there was nothing missing, Only then did he put it down, turned his head and said to Tianyou.

"I'm all ready, and I've written a letter to my husband." Tianyou blinked, and Lin Mo behind him took out the letter that Tianyou had prepared a long time ago and the homework that Mr. asked to write, and said to Daiyu, "Girl, my son yesterday Get them all ready!"

"In Jia's house, even though I left Mr. Li, my sister knew that Tianyou was the most obedient, and all the homework assigned by Mr. was done well. My husband and father must be happy to see it." Daiyu touched Tianyou He praised Lin Mo, and even told Lin Mo, "You should pay attention when delivering the letter to Uncle Lin later. There are many horse-drawn carriages in the capital, so be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, girl, the little ones will pay attention." Lin Mo took the envelope, and there was a small package, which contained some small purses or fan bags that Daiyu had made in the past month since she set off. Prepared for father and husband.

The Lin family naturally had their own residence in the capital, as well as some shops that Jia Min had left before. When she first entered Beijing, she was busy getting acquainted with Jia's mansion and accompanying Jia's mother. The people in the mansion wrote back and forth with my father.

Daiyu also wanted to find some time to meet the stewards of the Lin Mansion and the shop stewards who stayed in the capital, and also went to the study to see if there were any books, calligraphy and paintings.

In addition to talking with grandmother, going to study, doing small things to make the girls happy, and avoiding his father, Jia Baoyu added two things to his daily time: sneaking to find Daiyu and hiding from God.

Daiyu didn't like to talk to him, but within a few days, Baoyu had gotten used to it, if one day Daiyu said such a word to him, Baoyu thought she would be happy for a long time; Being speechless by Tianyou, looking at Tianyou's cute little face full of disappointment, Baoyu felt that she was under too much pressure, but every time Tianyou saw him, she had to ask so many questions, Once he couldn't answer and was seen by his father, oh my god, he was beaten up by his father that night.

Baoyu felt that she was in so-called pain and happiness now!

One day, when Baoyu wanted to secretly see what Sister Lin was doing, she saw Sister Lin taking Dongmei and going out in a sedan chair.

"Where are you going, sister?" Baoyu was extremely curious, just as Baochai came to meet her, and saw Daiyu going out, and saw Baoyu's blank look, so she asked, "What's the matter with Baoyu? Seems like you saw Sister Lin?"

"Sister Lin seems to have gone out." Baoyu replied in a daze.From the time he could remember, except for his mother and the others, he had never seen any of the sisters in the family go out. Even though he knew that Sister Lin came in from the outside, Baoyu never thought that Sister Lin could go to other places besides going home. where?

"No, Sister Bao, has Sister Lin gone home? No, I'm going to find my ancestors." Baoyu couldn't wait to run to Mother Jia, and Baochai took a look and followed.

"Old Ancestor, has sister Lin gone home?" Baoyu had already yelled before entering the house. When Jia's mother heard the voice and didn't understand why, Baoyu also ran in and jumped on him. In Jia's mother's arms, she asked anxiously, "Did sister Lin go home?"

"What did cousin say?" Tianyou, who was sitting next to Jiamu, looked at Baoyu curiously.

"Brother Lin, you are here, so where did sister Lin go?" Seeing that Tianyou was still there, Baoyu seemed to let go of his heart, but he was worried about sister Lin, and his brows frowned accordingly.

"Look at you, you are in a hurry." Mother Jia laughed and pulled Baoyu into her arms, "Your younger sister Lin is going to visit my aunt's shop, and also to visit the Lin family's house in the capital, when things are settled. Come back naturally."

Daiyu had already reported to Jiamu early in the morning. Although Jiamu was reluctant at first, under Daiyu's insistence, she could only let Daiyu take more people out and asked Daiyu to come back as soon as possible. , Don't delay the time, and then agree to Daiyu's request to go out.As a condition, Tianyou stayed by Jia Mu's side to chat and laugh with Jia Mu.

Baoyu blinked his eyes when he heard this, and seemed unhappy: "Sister Lin didn't tell me, otherwise I could go with Sister Lin, old ancestor, do you know where Sister Lin is going? I'll pick Sister Lin back come to the government."

"You, I was told by your father the day before yesterday. If your father knows that you have gone out again, you will feel better when you come back. You should stay at home and read books obediently. I will ask Lai everyone to follow you Go, it's very safe." Mother Jia said, pointing at the tip of Baoyu's nose, and then she hugged Baoyu into her arms and screamed "heart and liver".

Neither of them noticed the dissatisfaction in Tianyou's eyes. When Baoyu said that he would go out with him, Tianyou's eyes were already full of unhappiness. After getting along these days, Tianyou understood what kind of mess Baoyu was. People, if you go out with your sister, and this talker who never thinks about it will say something amazing later, which will damage your sister's reputation, it will be very bad.Even now that Mother Jia has calmed him down, Tianyou still said that he was very happy.

Baochai, who followed her, finally arrived, and she heard what Jia Mu said at the door, so she didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Baochai came to greet the old lady, it's a bit boring to stay in the room by myself. I want to come to the old lady's side to talk with the old lady and make fun of it."

"What are you little girls doing staying in front of this old woman like me? Be careful and get bored. You'd better go find the second and third girls. They should be working as maids now." Mother Jia smiled at Baochai. road.

"Sister Xue." Tianyou called out obediently, and the soft voice entered Baochai's heart. Baochai walked to Tianyou's side, stroked Tianyou's hair, and said, "Every time I see brother Lin , I can't wait to snatch it back and be my younger brother, he is really cute and cute."

"If you snatch it back, if your younger sister Lin doesn't chase you into your room to beat you, your younger brother Lin is her lifeline." Looking at Tianyou's red face, Jia's mother also laughed, The two of you talked to each other, saying that Tianyou was even more embarrassed, snorted, took Baoyu's hand and ran out.

"I'm not playing with my grandmother and sister Xue anymore, cousin, let's go, I'll take you to see something interesting." Behind the two of them came the voices of Jiamu and Baochai who laughed more heartily.

"Brother Lin, what are we going to see?" Baoyu's eyes lit up when he heard something interesting, and he temporarily forgot about Sister Lin.

Seeing this, Tianyou raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It's a little toy I brought from Yangzhou. Cousin must have never seen it before."

"Really, then let's go quickly, I'm very curious." Looking at Baoyu who was pulling her away, Tianyou smiled with crooked eyebrows and thought, so Baoyu would not leave Jia's mansion and run outside. I won’t run to pester my sister~ I’m such a good brother~

Let's talk about Daiyu.

Daiyu wanted to take Dongmei with her, but Mother Jia insisted that Daiyu take Lai everyone with her. Even if Daiyu didn't like it, she took it with her, and she took Xueyan with her.Not far from Jia's mansion, Daiyu asked Xueyan to find an excuse to go to the north of the city to buy pastries, and took Lai and everyone together to leave. When Lai Da left, Dongmei ordered someone to carry the sedan chair Go to the house of the Lin family.
