The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

In a blink of an eye, the next day came, and it was the day when Daiyu brought Sister Sanchun back.The servants were busy in an orderly manner as instructed, Qingyun checked it himself, and suddenly saw Liu Shan's family coming to answer, holding a large white porcelain plate in his hand, with bright red cherries inside.

"Where did this come from?"

Liu Shan's family replied with a smile: "Back to the eldest girl, this was sent by Mr. Zhang, and there are some gauze melons and fruits. Because these cherries are rare, I thought that the eldest lady is hosting a banquet today, so I decided to bring them here. "

"Master Zhang? Which Master Zhang?" Qingyun was puzzled for a moment.In the first few days when she first came to the capital, all the family friends who had contacts with the Lin family had been sent here, and they were all in the name of the female family members of the inner house. Suddenly, Mr. Zhang popped up and made her wonder.

Liu Shan's family said: "Miss, did you forget that our master has an old friend in Jinling, Mr. Zhang Lingwen, Mr. Zhang. The third son of his family went to Beijing this year to take the second-class exam, and now he is on duty in the Imperial Academy. Isn't it Mr. Zhang?" Mr. Zhang said that he was busy with official duties a few days ago, and he was ashamed to know that the two girls went to Beijing today. He happened to get some new cherries and sent them to the two girls. He also said that in the future, in the capital, if the girls have Whatever it is, just send someone to look for him."

"Oh, it turned out to be him, so it's hard for him to remember. Can someone send the gift back?" Qingyun heard that it was Zhang Ming who sent it, so she knew it, but she was already familiar with the Zhang family.After picking up the cherries and putting them on the table, he secretly became suspicious again.Now it is May, and the cherries will be ripe in April. At this time, there are very few. Although the Zhang family has a reputation in Jinling, they have no foundation in the capital. How do they get cherries?

Then he laughed at himself, could it be possible that the Zhang family has a few high-ranking family friends?

"I haven't come back yet, I'm going back and forth, big girl."

"Then go back as usual."

Just as he was talking, the little girl came to report: "Big girl, the girl and the second grandma of Jia's family are here."

Hearing this, Qingyun rushed to greet her, but before reaching the second gate, she saw several beautiful girls walking, surrounded by maids, the most eye-catching one was Wang Xifeng.The orange-red double-breasted bezels are embroidered with golden hundred butterflies and flowers, and the bright yellow phoenix skirt is paired with the deep orange palace sash with the peony pattern of two phoenixes flying together. It is festive, rich and bright.Sanchun was dressed in the same way, with long gowns embroidered on a pink background, and white gauze skirts, and after a closer look, it was the same as in the original book, each wearing a gold collar around their necks.

"Sister Qingyun." Daiyu greeted her a few steps ahead. She had a long body with red flowers sprinkled on her breasts, a red pleated skirt underneath, a pair of transparent jade bracelets on her wrists, a jade hairpin in her hair, two The first flower made out of pieces of jade, fresh and unique, graceful and coquettish.

"Sister, Second Grandma Lian, these three are cousin girls, right? They are all extraordinary." Just as Qing Yun was about to say a few more words, she suddenly realized that there was one more person.But seeing that she is thirteen or fourteen years old, her figure is slightly plump, her face is dignified and her expression is indifferent, her appearance is comparable to that of Daiyu, because she is two or three years older than Daiyu, and she is wearing a lotus gauze shirt and light pink gauze skirt, which is particularly attractive. She is quiet and charming.Although there was some speculation in my heart, there was some doubt on my face, and I asked with a smile: "I don't know if this girl is..."

Daiyu introduced: "This is the second wife's niece, Xue Baochai, the older sister of the Xue family, who is three years older than me. A few days ago, Mrs. Xue's family came to Beijing with her family, and now they are temporarily staying in Rongguo Mansion. Today, all the sisters are here. For a small gathering, I will invite Sister Xue to come with me."

After hearing this, Qingyun understood that Xue Baochai was one year older than her.

"It turned out to be the sister of the Xue family." Qingyun and Sanchun recognized each other one by one, and then led a few people to the garden: "There is nothing to entertain the sisters today, just some ordinary dim sum dishes, only the flowers in the garden are blooming." It’s good, maybe you can enjoy it. I hope the sisters don’t dislike it. I have ordered someone to clean up the Ting Yuxuan, and the sisters are staying here. I can’t go out, so the Quan Lai sisters came to talk with them.”

Wang Xifeng laughed when he heard this: "Look, look, did I say something wrong? Miss Lin is a coincidence, you said that, why don't the girls just stay? If it doesn't taste good, go away. Leaving Miss Lin alone and pitiful."

"In the end, Second Grandma Lian knew about me. If she didn't know that Second Grandma Lian was the housekeeper, and every day she opened her eyes, there would be one or two hundred things waiting to be ordered to mediate. I would definitely invite Second Grandma Lian to stay here and spend more time with Second Grandma Saying a few words, I don't know how good it is." Qingyun also likes to joke with Wang Xifeng, most of the girls here follow the boudoir training, and they are not familiar with it, who can dare to let go of talking and laughing like Wang Xifeng.I can't complain that everyone says "swear at Sister Feng, hate Sister Feng, miss Sister Feng when I don't see Sister Feng", even in the original book, Mother Jia said that only Sister Feng can make her smile and feel at ease.

Daiyu held Lin Qingyun's arm and said with a smile: "I want to stay here for a few days. Sister Qingyun just rests, she has sisters for every trivial matter."

"That's good, my sister's housekeeper is even better than me, so I'll take advantage of it for a few days." Talking and laughing, the garden arrived.

The Sanchun sisters and Xue Baochai basically said little, they were secretly looking at Lin Qingyun, and couldn't hide their surprise.Even after hearing what Daiyu said earlier, they were thinking of an orphan girl from a down-and-out branch of the Lin family, so what if she became a foster daughter of the Lin family?Looking at the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing, one would know that the recuperation bearing of the noble daughters of the aristocratic family is not so easy to learn, even if they are really well-mannered, I am afraid that the difference will be obvious when standing with them, who knows that it is a mistake.Thinking of her being surrounded by a nanny who came out of the palace like Daiyu, she felt relieved, but at the same time couldn't hide her envy.

Baochai sighed in her heart for Lin Qingjun's good life, the maid in the palace could not usually invite her, otherwise...

After all, Lin Qingyun was not familiar with Sanchun, so Daiyu entertained her comprehensively at the table, and slowly she became more talkative, and they were similar young girls, facing the beautiful scenery of the garden, they all let go of their hearts and started playing around.Even Xue Baochai, who has always been prudent and self-reliant, has a lot of lively words.

"With such a beautiful lotus pond scenery and such beautiful pomegranate flowers, it would be a pity not to write a poem and recite it." Daiyu is a literati after all, so she should suggest writing a poem.

After hearing this, Qingyun waved her hands again and again, and quickly sat down with Wang Xifeng: "Your sister, don't count me in, you know that my poetry and prose are mediocre, so I don't have to make people laugh. Second Mistress Lian is also boring, why don't you call me?" A few girls, I will throw pots with Second Mistress Lian."

"Oh, don't say that, if you don't know how to compose poetry, who will? I don't know how to get wet and dry. You don't have to worry about me, I'm just enjoying myself." Wang Xifeng pushed her with a smile.

Xue Baochai also smiled and said: "It's just being stubborn. How can we be so serious? If we really talk about our poetry, we don't have to spread it to make people laugh. We girls shouldn't be able to read, and we should use it if we can. In a decent place, this poem and lyrics are originally for fun and entertainment, and it is our duty to pinpoint the female workers."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere changed slightly.

Qingyun took a closer look, and sure enough, she saw Daiyu's complexion was not good, but because Baochai was a guest at her home, it was not easy to refute.Tanchun frowned slightly, apparently agreeing, but seemed to be worried and pretended not to hear. Yingchun is a wooden man, and now he only looks at the bright red pomegranate flowers without looking sideways. He hummed angrily.

"I don't understand what Sister Bao said. If our girls shouldn't be able to read and write, why did Sister Bao start reading? I also heard that Sister Bao has been studying since she was a child. Sure enough, my son shouldn't study, isn't Sister Bao regretting it to death? She should also find some fairy formula to make medicine pills, once she eats it, she forgets all the books, and only cares about the duty of a female worker."

Xichun's words were really unruly and mean, and there was something in the words, which even alluded to the "Lengxiang pill" that Baochai was taking.What kind of fairy recipes, piles of flowers, spread all over Jia's house.Bisheng Xichun has always had a eccentric temperament, when he comes up with a temper, he is not forgiving, and there are often people who can't get off the stage.

This is strange, the Xue family has only been here for a few days, how could they offend Xichun?If she didn't offend her, even if Xichun really spoke up, she would never be so shameless.

Xue Baochai was stable, even though she blushed in embarrassment when she was squeezed out, she quickly recovered, and said with a faint smile: "I thought she was just a articulate and unforgiving girl, but I didn't expect the fourth sister to be so powerful. I have learned a lesson." gone."

Qingyun glanced at Xue Baochai, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "Who is the hairpin?"

Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Who else can it be? It's Sister Lin, of course. This is still Baoyu's word, saying that my sister's brows are like a frown, and if she chooses a word, the word 'frowning' is the best."

"Sister Xue, don't say that!" Qingyun cut off the other person's words without seriousness, but her face was very solemn: "The small characters of the girl's family are all taken by the parents, or will be taken by the husband's family after the engagement in the future, how can you take it lightly?" Playing around. A few years ago, my sister was still young when she went to my grandfather’s house, and Jia Jiabao’s second master was also young. Children’s joking and joking should not be taken seriously, how can you call me Sister Xue so grandiosely?”

Xue Baochai was taken aback, apparently she did not expect Lin Qingyun to open her mouth suddenly, and with this accusation, she has always shown others with prudence and self-restraint, and she is most particular about women's chastity, virtue and appearance. She couldn't help but flushed for a while, and said with a sneer: " I made a slip of the tongue and brought it out without paying attention for a while, so I punished myself with a drink. Sister Lin, forgive me once, and I will definitely change from now on.”

Qingyun hurriedly stood up, bowed and bowed: "Sister Xue is just a slip of the tongue, and it's fine if you say it. Sister Xue, don't blame me for being fussy. After all, women's fame is a big thing, and it should not be ignored. The adoptive father is far away in Yangzhou. Before going to Beijing, I As a guarantor in front of the adoptive father, I must take good care of my younger sister, and must not let my younger sister be wronged."

Xue Baochai hurriedly got up to avoid it, and was not polite, and sighed: "Sister Qingyun treats Sister Lin with all sincerity, who can blame me? It's all my fault, I shouldn't have said nothing."

Daiyu's eyes were slightly red when Qingyun refuted Baochai. When she first came to Jia's mansion, Baoyu gave her a letter when she met. Yu, I don't know how many people talk about her in private.Fortunately, the sisters also knew that the girl's family name was not chosen at will, and they didn't talk about it. Even Baoyu didn't mention it anymore. come out.

Daiyu came over and took Qingyun's arm, and said with a playful smile at Baochai: "I can see that Sister Bao is envious of my sister's love. Seeing that Sister Bao is so pitiful, I let Sister Qingyun out. Sister Bao also calls her sister."

"Well, you sister Lin! You're kidding me, your sister Qingyun is one year younger than me." Xue Baochai pretended to be angry, but his heart relaxed, and he pretended to pinch Daiyu's face, but in fact It is clear that Daiyu deliberately used this to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere just now.

Daiyu hid and smiled, and kept replying: "So what? Don't you hear 'grandson on crutches, grandpa in a cart', who said that one year younger can't be a sister? You You are calling my sister, and I should too."

Tan Chun laughed too: "It's amazing, Sister Lin is possessed. I think it's better for you to compose a poem each, and whoever's poem is better will be the best. How about it?"

"I like it! This one is good!" Xichun didn't think it was a big deal, and clapped her hands in agreement.

Yingchun sighed helplessly: "You can let it go, if you make trouble again, your hair will fall apart, and let the girls see the joke."

Wang Xifeng has been enjoying herself eating melons and fruits, snacks and drinking tea. Seeing them like this, she said with a smile: "The girls are really happy, and the good tea, water and fruits on this table are all cheap for me."

The two people who were laughing and laughing stopped their hands, and the maids arranged their hair and clothes respectively, and set a topic to compose a poem.Qingyun didn't want to participate at first, but was dragged away and not allowed to escape, so she had to bother to make a mission.Among the few people, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Baochai were the most interested. Xichun also randomly made up a poem. Yingchun personally recorded the poems of all the people on the paper. Everyone commented once and recommended Tanchun's poem. The pomegranate verse is the best.

At this time, Xichun leaned up to Lin Qingyun, raised her head and said eagerly: "Sister Qingyun, I heard from Sister Lin that you can draw, especially Western paintings, can you teach me?"

Xichun is young, only six or seven years old now, although she usually looks cold and cold, at this time her eyes are full of anticipation, but she is very cute.Qingyun is an adult psychologically, Daiyu is more sensitive and thoughtful, but Xichun is a complete child, which makes her especially fond of it.

"I have heard from my sister that there is a little sister Xichun who can paint. Since you are interested, I must know everything and talk about it." Thinking of such a little girl who loves painting but ended up in Buddhism, I can't help but sigh.

"Then I'm going to bother my sister." Xichun couldn't sit still immediately.

Qingyun had no choice but to talk to Daiyu and the others, and led Xichun to her courtyard.
