Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

Mother Wang brought the gold-painted box to the Lixiang Pavilion, and Aunt Xue wondered, "This Lin girl has little contact with us, why is her nanny coming to see her?"

Xue Baochai was just leaning against her, thinking about what happened yesterday, and said with a smile, "Perhaps it was Sister Lin who called her to make amends."

"How did you start?" Aunt Xue was even more surprised, "Are you guys bickering?"

"No, it's just a few quarrels." Xue Baochai told about how she wanted to scare Baoyu and Daiyu before but was robbed by Wang Momo.

"My son, why didn't you tell me earlier when you were wronged. Aunt Xue hugged Xue Baochai and said distressedly, "There is no reason for a nanny to be presumptuous in front of relatives' girls. "

Xue Baochai smiled generously, "It's not that she came today, I've already forgotten about it. Mom, let's invite Wang Momo to come in first, because Sister Lin still has face."

"Where there is a master, there is a slave." Aunt Xue showed disdain on her kind face, "Madam Lin is a little chicken, you didn't see it, I heard from your aunt, it was just Baoyu joking, go back to the room They are all unhappy. She has the support of Princess Boping, who dares to offend her."

"Her mother left early, so it's inevitable that she will be childish. We, of course, must be more tolerant."

It caused Aunt Xue to cry out her heart and soul, "I really don't know how you grew up. In what life did you accumulate virtue to get such a sensible treasure like you. If your brother has half as much as you, I don't have to worry about being like this."

They told each other about their mother-daughter love, and Xue Baochai hid in the inner room, but it seemed a bit late to invite Wang Momo in, and asked her to wait a little longer in the corridor.

Mother Wang came here with anger, but she was neglected, which added fuel to the fire.

After seeing Aunt Xue, he handed the box to the little girl beside him with a smile on his face, "I met Mrs. Xue, how is Mrs. Xue?"

"Not bad, why is Mammy here today?" Aunt Xue looked around on the gold-painted box.

Wang Momo said, "Mrs. Xue, don't be surprised. Yesterday you sent someone to send palace flowers to our girl. The old lady was very happy, and our girl didn't want to spoil the old man's happiness, so I picked two, but they are still in the filial piety. , what do people think of her dressed in red and green?"

Having said that, it's almost the same, Aunt Xue said that she was negligent and she let it go. Unexpectedly, Madam Wang didn't give Aunt Xue a chance to speak. Her official dialect still had a Gusu dialect, but she followed it up very neatly. Said, "That's why I specially sent you back the palace flower, don't waste it with us. Miss Xue is just about to be drafted, and she uses these fashionable patterns in the palace just right."

Aunt Xue's smile faltered, "If Miss Lin doesn't like it, just reward any maid, and send it back to me anyway."

"It's impossible to say, don't say that the maids in our courtyard have to follow the master's filial piety. Just mention that you gave it to Lian's second grandma, second girl, third girl, and fourth girl. When the time comes to stand up, the master and slaves will wear the same clothes." Is it not to make people look at the flowers without distinguishing between high and low?"

"It's hard for you to be courteous." Aunt Xue glanced at the little maid, "Since Miss Lin doesn't want it, you can take it away and put it away. Whoever told Bao girl not to love these rouge powders is a waste of things."

It's our fault that you send red flowers to a filial girl.

Wang Momo stabbed Aunt Xue again and said, "Miss Xue is going to be drafted, so she can't go on being so clean. Those who are so clean are most taboo in the palace. Although you can't be full of jewels and emeralds when serving the empress, you are not allowed to be so clean. Human."

Aunt Xue was even more annoyed when she selected the talent show twice in a row, she was both respectful and serving, her smile seemed to hang on her cheeks, she twitched her lips and said, "Mama is indeed from the Lin family, I’m so knowledgeable. I’ll trouble you to take this trip, and I don’t dare to give these things to your girl indiscriminately in the future.”

Wang Momo bowed and said, "I'm just talking nonsense, Mrs. Xue just doesn't blame me, and the old slave will leave."

Before she got out of the yard, there was the sound of broken porcelain behind her, and the corners of her mouth twitched. After all, she was from a merchant family, and she didn't have the dignity and tranquility of a big wife. It was really different from her first wife.

Thinking of Jia Min, I couldn't help being distracted for a moment, and accidentally almost bumped into a girl who was entering the door.

The girl stepped aside and gave Wang Momo a hand, and said softly, "Mom, be careful, you can do whatever you encounter."

As soon as Nanny Wang raised her head, she immediately praised her in amazement, she is such an outstanding and beautiful girl.

Needless to say about her appearance, there is a star of red mole between her eyebrows, making her brows lustrous and beautiful, and it is even more rare that her whole body is gentle and quiet.

But after a closer look, this girl is dressed as an open-faced little daughter-in-law, and there is a little maid by her side, but it has never been heard that the Xue family is married.

Puzzled, the girl walked away, and the woman who was guarding the door saw that she was still looking at the girl when she turned her head, and said with a smile, "Old sister, this is a concubine of their uncle Xue's family, named Xiangling."

Wang Momo lowered her voice, "Is it because of this servant girl, Uncle Xue, who beat to death?"

"It's this one, but it's not a coquettish one. My aunt agreed. She seemed to be overjoyed by Mr. Xue. She served wine and treats guests in a serious way, and became a concubine in an upright way." The old woman made inquiries very clearly, and Douzi Wang Momo seemed to listen to it, "I kept it a secret, but one day later, Uncle Xue and his concubine were arguing, and people overheard that the girl you bought on Shangjing Road was from that lawsuit."

"Look at how young you are."

"That's right, the bones of the body haven't grown, and it's because the Xue family doesn't pay attention. It's just that she is like this, and she is not much worse than grandma and wife. It's a pity."

"You should also be more careful in your speech. Which grandma or wife is better? Let others hear it. If it reaches the master's ears, you will have good fruit to eat?" Wang Momo reminded her.

The mother-in-law hurriedly laughed and said, "Isn't this what I said to the old sister, you are busy first, I will come later, and you must control this mouth."

Wang Momo took out a silver ring from her purse and stuffed it for her, "I'm sorry for asking you to talk about this so hard, our girl gave it to me, so you can keep it and wear it."

"Hey, it's really the old sister who is so generous in being a nanny." The old woman put it away in a hurry, "If you want to hear anything in the future, just call me, and I will tell you everything I know. "

In fact, Nanny Wang is only in her thirties, she is not very old, she just dresses old-fashioned, but that woman is a real old woman, she just flatters Wang Nanny one by one, making people laugh.

Wang Momo said, "I don't have anything I want to hear, I just asked casually."

He went back to the Zhongchun hall without stopping, Lin Daiyu was already being attended to by someone to practice calligraphy in the study room, Wang Momo reported it once, but kept the matter of Xiangling a secret.

Lin Daiyu put it down after hearing it, and suddenly remembered the picture album that Jia Baoyu had borrowed. Today, he met Jia Baoyu when Jia Mu was paying her respects, and he didn't say that he would return it, so she said, "If you go to grandma's for dinner today, Xueque, you remember to talk to her." Qingwen said don't forget the album."

Xueque said, "It's still early, I'll run again."

"It's not in such a hurry. I just borrowed it yesterday and said it after a night. It seems like we are being stingy and want to get it back." Lin Daiyu wrote a few words, inspired, and sang a magnolia poem Come out, dry it, roll it up and put it in a poem tube engraved with mountain graphite bamboo.

Southerners often use bamboo tubes to hold books, which means elegance.Lin Daiyu specially used this poem tube to put some of her pen and ink.

She is here leisurely and contentedly, but Lixiang Pavilion is very angry.

Coincidentally, just as Aunt Xue dropped the teacup, Xiangling came in. Although she liked Xiangling's docile and quiet, she felt that she was the one who seduced her son into his life.

When Xiangling happened to bump into her anger again, before Xiangling could speak, Aunt Xue reprimanded her sharply, "Why don't you just hang out in the house doing needlework?"

Xiangling didn't know, so she was slapped all over her head and said blankly, "I'll serve my wife."

"I'm thankful that you don't hang out in front of my eyes. Go out and find out if there is any son and concubine who will serve in front of your mother. Who do you think you are?" The appearance of my aunt, "Don't call you a girl, you really think of yourself as a grandma."

Xue Baochai personally poured tea for Aunt Xue, and comforted her in a soft voice, "Mom, calm down first, Xiangling is not such a person. Xiangling, go down first."

"Why are you not such a person? Tell me that someone with Lin in their name is not a good thing. Those with Lin and Ling on the left make people uncomfortable." Aunt Xue refused to drink the tea, wishing she could drop two more. It's good to relieve your anger.

"What's there to be angry about? Mom doesn't like her, just tell her to set the rules in the house." Xue Baochai smiled, but she didn't see any anger, "As for sister Lin, she doesn't like our things, we don't Just give it as a gift, and save some money. Speaking of it is ready-made, we are afraid of breaking her taboo."

Aunt Xue patted her hand, "That's right, then I won't give it away. Although our family is good, we don't have such big hand-sewn ones. They are all hard-earned money. I see that although Lin girl is in the filial piety, Those sapphires and white jades are also very valuable, so it can be seen that he loves to enjoy himself, no more than you."

"Could it be that mom and brother can't do without these things of mine, I just don't love them. It's not interesting, neither food nor clothes." Xue Baochai said.

In the evening, Mother Jia kept Aunt Xue, mother and daughter for dinner. Aunt Xue saw Lin Daiyu wearing a pair of jasper rings in her hair, and thought it was really her daughter.

Lin Daiyu didn't realize it, she ate in peace and quiet, and chatted with Jiamu a few times.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden commotion in the green gauze cabinet inside, and the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-throwing things could be heard endlessly.
