Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

Although Jia's mother was unhappy, she could only greet the people from the princess' mansion first.

After going out for a while, Yuanyang came back and said, "Uncle Yan from the princess' mansion came in person. Did the old lady see you or not? If not, how about letting Second Master Lian come to entertain you?"

Jia's mother said, "It's the uncle of the Yan family who said he wanted to report to the government. How could he not see him?"

General Yan's mansion was not as prosperous as Jia's mansion when it was prosperous, not to mention it is in decline now, and Yan Ji is only able to do it with the mother of a princess.But Mother Jia really wanted to meet the young master of the princess mansion.

Lin Daiyu got up and said, "Since my grandmother wants to see guests, Yu'er will leave first."

"The princess's mansion is here because of you, why you, the rightful master, are about to resign." Jiamu said with a smile, "I don't know what it's like to educate a nanny, Yu'er, stay here."

Lin Daiyu was not willing, she refused several times, and finally hid in the green yarn cabinet.

Sanchun also walked with him.

For a while, Yan Ji entered the main room and greeted Jia's mother, "I have seen Shi Taijun."

"My granddaughter has been bothering the princess everywhere, and I'm really sorry." Mother Jia hurriedly asked him to sit down, and then asked him to pour tea.

Yan Ji was about the same stature as Jia Baoyu, with a smile on his face, "The old matriarch's words are polite, our family's Shangyuan and Lin's family are family friends. For the sake of sister Lin, my mother went to ask the empress empress, this time I invited you The foster mother used to serve beside the empress."

Mother Jia was taken aback, "I really have a heart."

Several girls in the green gauze closet had maidservants close by to listen, and when they heard the words, they quietly reported to their own girls, Yingchun hung her head dully, Tanchun also sat silently, but Xichun was very happy, and sat on Lin Daiyu's body Beside, just look at her and smile.

Lin Daiyu lightly tapped the tip of her nose, and mouthed, "Naughty ghost."

The foster mother, surnamed Li, was in her thirties, with a dignified posture not inferior to some mistresses, Fushen said, "The old lady is polite."

Mother Jia hurriedly helped her up, "The nanny was served by the empress, how dare we accept such a great gift."

At this time, Yan Ji had retired, but Jia Baoyu saw his handsome face and wanted to make friends. How could Jia's mother be willing to let him down, so she pushed him and said, "Uncle Yan is better than our Baoyu." If you are older, you should call him a brother. Don't be so restrained, go drink tea with your brother Yan."

Jia Baoyu moved to the seat next to Yan Ji, and asked with a smile, "Brother Yan, I didn't know there was such a person as you in the past. It's so late to meet you."

Yan Ji smiled slightly, making people feel like a spring breeze, "I just arrived in the capital recently."

Jia Baoyu asked again if he was studying, and Yan Ji replied that he was studying in the Imperial College, "It's just learning simple things, not learning."

Jia Baoyu blurted out, "It doesn't matter if you don't study, what the Imperial College teaches is also a salary."

He didn't say such things in front of outsiders, so he talked behind his back with his sisters.Seeing that Yan Ji was a good character and easy-going, he forgot his taboos.

Yan Ji's face remained unchanged, "Second Master Bao is very ambitious. It's strange that no one from Jia's mansion has entered the Imperial College, so he didn't like this kind of place that teaches people how to earn money."

Only children of nobles above the fifth-rank official can enroll in the Guozijian.

Jia Zheng was from the fifth grade, and Jia Baoyu couldn't touch other people's doors at all.

Mother Jia heard this badly, so she smoothed things over and said with a smile, "Your Brother Bao is an idiot with a temper, he is a child, so don't bother with him."

"Second Master Bao is innocent and sincere, how could I care about him. Now that the nanny has been delivered, I will take my leave first."

After Yan Ji left, Lin Daiyu came out from the green gauze closet.

Nanny Li came to see Miss Lin, Lin Daiyu returned the courtesy, "I will need more guidance from Nanny in the future."

I also said goodbye to Jiamu, "I have to go back and pack up, and I will come back to say hello to my grandmother in the evening."

Mother Jia touched her hand and said, "You can't neglect Mammy, if you need anything, just ask your second sister-in-law."

Lin Daiyu responded with a smile.

Jia's mother ordered Sanchun to retreat again, put her arms around Jia Baoyu and said, "My good boy, I dare not tell others about this in the future. If I let you know, I will suffer again."

"Brother Yan is so good-looking, he must not be such a person." Jia Baoyu said coquettishly.

Mother Jia coaxed her earnestly, "You've only met a few people. There is only one kind of person who is as rich as gold and jade as others."

Jia Baoyu still didn't believe it, "If he has evil intentions, why should he come personally to deliver the nanny to Sister Lin?"

He himself likes to be kind to Lin Daiyu, and this brother Yan is also kind to Lin Daiyu, so naturally they are all kind.

Let's say that Nanny Li followed Lin Daiyu back to the Zhongchun Pavilion. On the way, thinking about seeing Jia Baoyu talking with Yan Ji just now, she first regarded this second master Bao as the object of strict defense.

She didn't want to come to Rongguo Mansion at first, but her life was too difficult for her. Fortunately, Lin Daiyu was elegant and beautiful, and she liked people very much.

After entering the room, Lin Daiyu poured tea for her herself, "Sit down, Mammy, I'll ask some girls from them to greet Mammy."

Nanny Li didn't want to sit down, so she stood and met Lin Daiyu's maidservants.

Lin Daiyu said, "They all came from Yangzhou with me. If there is any impoliteness, please let me know."

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Girl, you don't need to be so polite, I will tell you something else tomorrow, let me be lazy today."

Lin Daiyu asked Xueyuan to give a pair of golden hairpins and a pair of gold bracelets to Mammy Li, "Mamamy's room is next to my nanny, this is a kind gesture."

Grandma Wang came up to lead her and said, "Mommy, come with me, the house has already been cleaned."

This is still due to Xueque, she heard that the princess' mansion had sent a foster mother, and she reacted very quickly to stuff a few copper coins into the little maid in Jiamu's house, so that the little maid could send a message back.

The Zhongchun Hall was newly repaired and painted, but it was just a little sweeping, hanging curtains and laying bedding.

After this day, Lin Daiyu had one more thing to do besides teaching the maids to read and write, that is, to listen to Madam Li talk about the relationship between the aristocratic families in the capital, starting with the princess mansion, then the Daoguang palace and the Yan family, these things are enough to say one day.

Lin Daiyu didn't like these things, but Madam Li said that the princess had specially ordered her to talk to her, so she listened very seriously.After learning a lot, I couldn't help but feel a little headache, and I was afraid that the mother would look down on me, so I asked Xue Yuan to follow along, and the master and servant dug it out in private.

Every day I went to Jiamu's place to say hello and was accompanied by Madam Li. After breakfast that day, Xue Baochai's mother and daughter came.

Aunt Xue heard that Madam Li came from the empress's side, her eyes were brighter than usual, but Xue Baochai just smiled reservedly.

Jia Baoyu said, "Sister Bao, does she also need to ask the foster mother for the draft?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile, "Of course I want to invite you. Your big brother Xue is still running around outside for this. It's Miss Lin who has a lot of face, and the queen empress rewarded her as a nurturing mother."

"Aunt really knows how to make fun of people. It's just for the princess's face, which is mine. Who am I, the empress doesn't even know." Lin Daiyu tightened her hand holding the handkerchief.

Xue Baochai was sitting and talking with Tanchun, when she heard this, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Look at this frown, that's how she can talk."

Nanny Li frowned, "This old slave is presumptuous, I don't know if Miss Xue's frown is referring to our girl?"

Xue Baochai recalled the last time Grandma Wang had ridiculed her, and felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, and said softly, "It was my slip of the tongue. It shouldn't be called that."

This Miss Xue, Madam Li, was mentioned by Madam Wang.

Li Nanny refused to let it go, "According to what Second Master Bao said, Miss Xue is also going to be drafted. Although the Xue family's royal business does not need a general election, it is more cautious to be a servant in a small election than to be a master in a general election. According to the old slave, it is better for Miss Xue to invite a nanny to teach the rules as soon as possible. The girl is born well, and it is unlikely that she will fail the election. Such a slip of the tongue, it’s good that the master is kind, but if the master wants to be punished, it will be very difficult, ranging from a fine to a heavy salary to death.”

Xue Baochai was said to be serving others in front of everyone, her face was pale, and she was no longer as calm as before. After a long while, she forced a smile, "Thank you for your advice, Mammy."

Nanny Li said, "I just stayed in the palace for a long time, so I can't talk about giving advice. In the future, when the girl leaves the palace at my age, she will understand. Take a big lady in the imperial concubine's palace in the past. Generally speaking, the master is always favored by the master, but that day when she made a slip of the tongue in front of the empress, even the noble concubine dared not intercede, so she was dragged to the executioner's staff and executed."

After she finished speaking, the room was quiet. Mother Jia couldn't help but let out a long sigh when she thought of Yuan Chun in the palace, "Nurse is right. I think my poor granddaughter doesn't know how to be trembling."

Jia Baoyu hurriedly comforted her and said, "Didn't Eldest Sister become the female history of the empress's palace? It will definitely not be like this."

Nanny Li immediately thought of Jia Nushi in the Queen's Palace, "It turns out that the eldest girl in the house is actually Jia Nushi in the empress's palace. Second-rate."

Mother Jia looked at Mammy Li differently, "Mammy actually recognizes our big girl, it's no coincidence that there is nothing wrong with it."

When they talked about Yuanchun, they forgot Xue Baochai.

Mother Jia listened carefully to Nanny Li's story about Yuan Chun's situation in the palace, and told Jia Baoyu, "Listen carefully too, and tell your wife later, so that she won't have to worry about it day and night."

When it was getting late, Jia Mufang ended the conversation with some unfinished business.

On the way back, Xueque was curious and asked Madam Li, "Is Miss Jia really like this?"

Nanny Li smiled meaningfully, "The empress said yes, of course she is so good. The most rare thing is that even the imperial concubine said she is good."

This room was full of compassion, listening carefully to the situation of the girl in the family, both gratified and emotional, but there was one over there, who was so angry that he dropped his glass because of his girl.
