Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

The four first-class girls before Jia Min's life, poetic, picturesque, pensive, and the sound of the piano are all kneeling in the corridor at this moment, and the four girls are full of dissatisfaction.

The last three were better, some of them had children from the Lin family and some were bought later.Shiqing couldn't bear to be humiliated, her father, Lai Er, was the steward of Jia Min's marriage to Zhuangzi, and her mother was also the steward of the inner courtyard. Shiqing followed her family to the south when she was a child, and later also entered Jia Min's room to serve, All the maids respect her because of her mother.

When did the poetic girl ever have such shamelessness, she ignored the eyes of Lai Erjia, and said indignantly, "Whether we are good or not depends on what the master says. The wife is gone, which one of us is not doing our best to serve the lady, Have you ever been lazy for a day. Although Mammy is older, she can't use such a thunderous force on us, can she? It's so majestic."

Nanny Yu smiled slightly, but she was not angry, "I'm old, so I'm naturally not as powerful as the poetic girl. Lin family rules, four first-class maids and eight second-class maids around the wife, half of the young master. Two first-class ones and four second-class ones. Now that my sister is going to Beijing to go to her grandparents’ house, how could our poetic girl have arranged for her a second-class snow goose, which was just made up and had no head left? Little maid."

Shiqing sneered and said, "What do I think is the matter? The nanny also said that my sister is going to my grandfather's house. Is it possible that the old lady will treat my sister badly? That is the real grandmother. Although Xueyan is young, she can It was also the wife who put her next to my sister herself, saying that although she was a bit dull, she was a loyal and honest child, and she was born well."

"It's not bad, it's the old lady's business. Could it be that my Lin family is so poor that the eldest lady brings a little maid when she goes out? Let me tell you, even a poetic girl has to bring two little maids to serve her when she goes home to see your brother and sister-in-law. Well, is it possible that you feel that your sister is not as noble as you?"

How could Shiqing admit it, and immediately retorted, "Nurse, don't insult me. I brought two little maids with me someday. We serve people like this, and we don't have such a great fortune. Besides, catching thieves Still have to catch the stolen goods, Mammy has no evidence, carefully and the wind flashed her tongue."

Lai's family quickly gave her a hard look, and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, Madam Yu, Little Hoof is ignorant, I'll scold her."

"I don't dare to be angry. I heard that the cousin of Miss Shiqing donated the official position. If she is not in the Lin family, she is also a decent young lady." Yu Yu glanced at Lai Er's family, "Go and get her Xuelu brought it, since the poetic girl doesn't recognize her, there are other things."

Daiyu's second-class maid, Xuelu, was brought up by two women, who told her why she didn't want to leave her hometown and go to the capital with Lin Daiyu, and then gave gifts to Lai Er's family, and how to ask them to talk in front of Lin Daiyu, so that Let yourself stay and wait and spit it out.

After Xue Lu finished speaking, she begged her mother in tears, "For the sake of serving my sister, please forgive me this time, I also don't want to be home."

Mammy Yu was about to say goodbye when a clear and melodious female voice came from the room, "You don't have to embarrass her, it's just human nature, let her go out and reunite with her family."

Because the nanny was afraid of disposing of Jia Min's old man, Lin Daiyu was unhappy. If she was too young, if she didn't understand her explanation, wouldn't there be a rift? Sitting in the room and listening, thinking about filling in a few sentences afterwards, my sister will definitely understand the joints.

"I was going to send you out, but now my sister is pleading for you, so I will forgive you, but I will send you out today, you are unfaithful, how can you deserve the reward that the master gave you, except for your share For example, you are not allowed to take out any other things." After disposing of Xuelu, Madam Yu took the opportunity to beat everyone present, "The old lady said when she was alive, you have to be smart, and you can't find it anywhere in the world. If you don't come, it's rare to be loyal. Now that you're only in the capital, if you just push back and forth like this, if something happens in the future, won't you do a lot of things that betray the Lord? The Lin family will never tolerate such infidelity Slaves!"

"How long has it been since my wife left? How dare you be so presumptuous?! My old lady would like to ask one more question, you guys deliberately coaxed my sister to let the maid out, and went to Beijing alone, what is your intention?!"

The maids in the courtyard bowed their heads to listen to Mammy Yu's anger. The Lai Er's family couldn't help being embarrassing, and said to her, "How dare we have such dirty thoughts. Mammy really misunderstood. Let the two of them go out to marry, but they are sick and can't take care of choosing someone to replace them. You old man also knows that I am from the Jia family. I still remember it. My sister is gone, so naturally."

"My wife didn't take care of her when she was ill, and Mama Lai didn't take her sister's matter to heart. As for the Jia family, I have heard it several times." Yu Yu lost her posture and said with a long sigh. , "Mama Lai may have been in the Lin family for many years. The Lin family has five generations of nobles, and now the uncle is also born in Tanhua. Whoever said that the Lin family disapproved of a scholarly family? Could it be that we are the kind of poor people who have to rely on their in-laws to support them?" The wealth of Rongning Second Mansion, not to mention Lai Mama, I also remember. It is such wealth, we must not be rude. My sister went away in a lonely way, how can the sisters in the Duke's Mansion look at her. What's more, no matter how nice the old lady in-law is, her age is also there, so it's my sister's fault to ask her to worry about my sister's son."

Lai Er's family took advantage of this step to go down the slope, and said guiltily, "It's all my fault, I didn't think about it so much, I made my sister feel wronged."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself, then glanced at the four maidservants kneeling and said, "As for these few, let them reflect on themselves."

Nanny Yu shook her head, "Forget it, get up, it's also Jiao Didi's girl's house, so it's only natural for you to think less when your wife is away. Besides, it's only natural for you mother and daughter to come from Jia's house to get closer to your in-laws' house. I will rely on your help in the future.”

"As long as Mammy has orders, if I don't say a word, I'm not a human being." Lai Er's family flattered Mama Yu and helped Mama Yu, "Mommy is tired after training all afternoon, I'll send Mammy to rest. From now on, it will be hard work for Mammy to worry about the affairs of the inner courtyard."

"I'm just a slave. I just know a little bit of reason because I've been with the old lady. Don't mention the word worry." Madam Yu waved her hand and said, "It's all gone, and Mama Lai can rest, I will talk to you again. Sister babbles a few words, you should also coax the poetic girl, don't make her feel wronged."

Mama Lai was about to answer the conversation, but Nanny Yu said regretfully, "It's just that, as a slave, there is no one who is not wronged. If your eldest son donates an official like her cousin, he will have a future, otherwise It's really pitiful for this beautiful face."

The mother and daughter of the Lai family blushed and turned pale at what she said, and left in silence.

Xueyan opened the door and came out, Fushen said, "Young lady invited Mammy into the house for tea."

Nanny Yu nodded in agreement, and reminded her again in a low voice, "You also learn to be smarter, don't you need to move everything?"

Because snow geese are not as clever as snow herons, Daiyu usually likes to make more snow herons.Although Xueyan was young and dull, she still knew it anyway, and said gratefully, "I will make progress."

"Sister Xueque in front of you is not young anymore, I hope you can take over in the future." Madam Yu said, "The girl is still young, but her heart is like a mirror, so she is easy to serve."

After the two sentences were finished, Mammy Yu entered the room, and Xueyan stood guard outside the door. Mammy Yu admired her a little when she saw it, and she might be enlightened sometime.

Lin Daiyu was sitting wiping her tears. Seeing Mammy Yu, she said with red eyes, "It's all because I was ignorant, and I was almost rude in front of my grandfather. What Madam Yu said was very true, I took it for granted."

"It was all instigated by the screwdriver. My sister is so young, what do you know?" Yu Yu wiped her tears for her, and then said, "They are actually not wrong. It stands to reason that the old lady came to pick her up on purpose. She must have tried every means. Everything has been taken care of, just waiting for the girl to go. But I have to say, this is not the case. Think about it, girl, what was the situation like when Princess Boping sent someone to pick up Grandma and you?"

"Sometimes Madam Liu, who is beside the princess, came in person, and sometimes it was sister Qiuling, both of whom were very considerate." Lin Daiyu recalled, "At that time, my mother brought two big maids next to her, and I also brought one... There are second-class and third-class guards outside, as well as a few female guards."

However, only a few third-class servants came to Jia's house, and Lin Daiyu's face became even more gloomy.

"It's still like this when you go out as a guest. This time, my sister is going to live here. Does it depend on Jia's house for every piece of paper? Although the uncle entrusted a lot of money to my sister's expenses, but people's hearts are far away. If you are a little stingy with your rewards, they will spread a lot of words."

"Why bother to care about these things? Of course you have to say what you want to say. Some people even think it's bad after eating your food." Lin Daiyu said.

"Sister's appearance is just like the appearance of the old lady back then, and the old lady is also such a hard-backed person." Yu Yu patted Lin Daiyu on the back, "My sister is a noble person, and there is no shortage of these in the family. When you’re in a good mood, spend more money, and when you’re not, don’t bother. Could it be that our family can’t protect you from doing what you want? I’ve already told the uncle that it’s enough to halve the money of Jia’s family, even if the sister is at home for three to five years. You can’t spend these, you can keep the rest for yourself, eat and drink whatever you want, just use it for big and small supplements.”

Lin Daiyu responded, and Nanny Yu spoke for Lin Ruhai again, "Sister, don't blame the uncle, except for studying and socializing when he was a child, the old lady took care of everything else, and later there was a grandma. A man has a big mind, so he will inevitably be negligent. sister."

"The princess persuaded me once before. I didn't blame my father at first. He is an official outside and is a person who does great things. As a daughter, I can't share his worries and take care of food and clothing. Instead, let him worry about me." Lin Daiyu leaned on Mammy's arm, "When I go to Beijing next month, I don't know when I will see you again."

"When the girl is older, someone will pick you up." Madam Yu said, and then said to Xueque Xueyuan, who bowed her head beside her, "You two are not young anymore, and you will be eighteen next year. Grandma promised to let you go out to get married, but it’s an extraordinary time now, and it will delay you for two or three years. I promise you, as long as the sister who serves you is good, I will recognize you two as granddaughters in the future and buy a full dowry. Marry out gracefully."

Xueque Xueyuan was not worried about Lin Daiyu at first, upon hearing Mammy Yu's words, she hurriedly came up and kowtowed, "This is the best, we have been serving girls since we were young, and we are going to leave now, so we don't want to part with her."

"You also bother to train a few on weekdays, so you can take over when the time comes, don't really drag yourself into an old girl in her 30s, then I don't care." Nanny Yu said with a smile.

The second daughter blushed and agreed.

Lin Daiyu covered her lips and said with a smile, "There is no use in the future, don't hurry up and call grandma. I must congratulate Mammy for having two wonderful granddaughters."

Mammy Yu laughed, "I just followed my sister. Their parents did their best when they served them before, so it's a good vine that produces good melons."

Xueque hurriedly said, "Since Mammy recognizes us as god-daughters, the parents at home will naturally become god-sons and daughter-in-laws. How about you come home with us and set up wine?"

"It's not just about setting up wine, there's also a lot of respect." Xueyuan made a greedy look, which made everyone laugh.

Pian Xueyan heard the laughter outside the door, and for some reason, she poked her head and took a look, like a dumb goose, causing everyone to laugh again.

Lin Daiyu beckoned to her, "What are you doing outside the door?"

"I'll watch the door for the girl, so don't let anyone disturb your conversation with the nanny." Xueyan replied.

Lin Daiyu said, "The two of them have congratulations today, and you are indispensable. You go to the box and get the set of four seasons gold hairpins. You three will share them, and the extra one will be given to Xuelu, master and servant. "

The four seasons gold hairpin is Lin Daiyu's jewelry for this season. The hairpin made of new gold is carved with spring peach, summer lotus, autumn osmanthus and winter plum, which are very delicate.

The three of them were overjoyed when they saw it, and thanked Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu said, "Don't thank me, it's not a good thing."

"It's really our sister's tone, this is the lady of the big family." Madam Yu looked at Lin Daiyu with kindness in her eyes, "Gold and silver are things outside the body. In the eyes of money, it is really embarrassing."

In the days to come, Nanny Yu led a few maids to repack Lin Daiyu's luggage, and then brought up a third-class maid from her yard. Lin Daiyu changed her name to Xueying, and taught her how to drive day and night. rule.

After more than ten days passed in a hurry, Lin Daiyu bid farewell to Lin Ruhai, boarded the car with tears in her eyes, and went to the pier to meet Princess Boping.

The people from Boping County Lord's Mansion arrived earlier, and they have already laid out and are loading the ship.Lin Daiyu changed into a sedan chair and was carried to the bow by four women.

Lin Daiyu was waiting in the sedan chair for the snow sparrow to come to open the curtain. She heard voices from outside. Although it was a childish voice, it was already gentle and refined. "My mother is being taken care of by Sister Laulin along the way."
