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

During the Lantern Festival, the Rongguo Mansion was decorated with lanterns, festoons and festive performances, and the whole family surrounded the old lady of the Jia Mansion.

Although Wang Xifeng is the daughter-in-law of the first house, she lives in the second room, taking care of Mrs. Wang, who is both an aunt and aunt, to take care of the internal affairs of the mansion. She is a famous housekeeper.In addition, she is always good at talking and laughing, and she is indispensable in lively places. Jia's mother also loves her for being smart and beautiful, and calls her "Phoenix Spicy".Both Wang Xifeng and Li Wan are grandsons and daughter-in-laws, they didn't take their seats, they just waited on them during the banquet. Leaning on the pillow, he didn't even hear Baoyu calling twice.

Wang Xifeng looked at Yuanyang questioningly, but Yuanyang shook her head, apparently for some reason.

"Old lady, but today's play is not good? If it is really bad, next time the play will only be sung by me and Second Master." Wang Xifeng walked up to Jia Mu and sighed faintly.

As expected, Mother Jia was brought back to her senses, and asked in bewilderment, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xifeng said: "Today's banquet was organized by me, and the opera troupe was invited by the second master. The old lady didn't like it, so it was a mess? Since the matter was not done well, the second master and I could only sing in front of the old lady." As soon as I came out, I didn’t ask for anything else, but I just asked the old lady to take care of our hard work and smile anyway, so as not to drink wine in such a cold day and accumulate in my heart.”

"You monkey!" Mother Jia was amused all of a sudden, pointed at her and said with a smile: "Since you say that, then I'd like to see it. Lian'er is all right, but you just sing it to relieve boredom."

"Hey, it's my good fortune that the old lady is willing to show her face. Even if she can't sing well, she is still in Caiyi to entertain her." Wang Xifeng has a articulate voice and a clear and clear voice, and every single sentence is pleasant to listen to.She personally took a pot of hot wine from the stove, poured a cup and offered it to Jia Mu: "The old lady has a mouthful of hot wine, and then ordered two good plays. Previously, Baoyu and the girls made lantern riddles respectively. The old men also sent some in, why don't we take advantage of this to have fun? Feng'er doesn't guess theirs, but just asks the old lady to give one, if Feng'er guesses, the old lady will reward you with whatever it means."

Jia's mother couldn't hold back and laughed again: "You phoenix! What did I say to talk about it, but it was to plot against me. I don't want to give it to you. If you guess it, I will give it to the elder sister. Son, could it be possible that you and eldest sister snatched it away?"

"The old lady has already said that, how dare I, I am a rogue, I am no better than the old lady's great-granddaughter, so don't ask for a beating." Wang Xifeng waved her hands again and again, pretending to be frightened.

Mother Jia laughed again.

The girls of Shaoqing came up in a line, each holding a delicate lantern with lantern riddles on it.Jia's mother is a big winner, no matter who she is, she will be rewarded for guessing.In order to flatter the old lady to be happy, they went up to the two kings of Xing, the You family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Dongfu, down to Li Wan leading the Sanchun sisters and eldest sisters, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Jia Cong, and even the masters. The big maids with dignity joined in the fun one after another, it was very lively.

Mother Jia, who was born on the other hand, sighed.

Wang Xifeng has always been shrewd, and now she has tasted something, so she deliberately smiled and said: "The old lady sighed when she was doing well. Could it be that she was reluctant to win the prize? If it were me, I would also be reluctant. These sisters and brothers are all smart. There are no lantern riddles that cannot be solved, and the old lady is about to bleed a lot." The voice changed, and she was grateful again: "Fortunately, Sister Lin went to her house and is not here. Otherwise, with Sister Lin's cleverness, I am afraid that the old lady will die." The wife's storeroom has been emptied."

Jia Mu said angrily: "You Feng girl can only calculate things, how do you know my heart, if your sister Lin is here, so what if you reward her with everything. Years, forget about my old lady, and love her for nothing for a few years."

"Does the old lady miss Sister Lin? It's not easy to handle. We will send a boat to pick it up as soon as the old lady gives the order." Wang Xifeng said, her mind cleared up.Although the old lady really loved Daiyu, but after Daiyu returned to Yangzhou, Uncle Lin was reluctant to leave home. Sister is here?

He caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang inadvertently, and his heart skipped a beat.

A few days ago, I received a letter from Xue's family in Jinling about the murder of my cousin Xue Pan. How could Mrs. Wang ignore her when Aunt Xue asked Mrs. Wang?Immediately repair the book and send it to the king's house in Jinling, and invite the master of the family to go to Yingtian Mansion.The prefect of Yingtianfu is Jia Yucun recommended by Jia's family. If he has a word, he will not shirk it.

After all, Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's niece and housekeeper for Mrs. Wang, so she knows a lot of inside information.The aunt of the Xue family has a pair of children. The son Xue Pan is no longer useful, but the daughter Baochai is born with smooth muscles and bones, elegant manners, and is ten times better at reading and writing than her elder brother.When his father was alive, he loved this daughter very much. Now that Baochai is thirteen years old, the aunt of Xue's family is about to take her to Beijing for election, but Xue Pan happened.

Previously Lin Daiyu lived in Jia's house for two or three years, and Jia's mother loved her as much as Baoyu. Anyone with a discerning eye could see some clues that the old lady was probably trying to match the two Yu'er's marriage.Mrs. Wang had just married into the Jia family when she was young, and she had a rift with her sister-in-law Jia Min who had never left the court. She had never liked delicate and beautiful girls, so how could she agree to Daiyu as her daughter-in-law now?However, the old lady had this idea, and Jia Zheng was filial, so Mrs. Wang thought of her niece Baochai.Although the old lady no longer cares about her family, she is the pinnacle of Jia's pagoda. There is nothing she doesn't know.Knowing Mrs. Wang's idea, how can there be no countermeasures?

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng secretly regretted that she was about to slip up.Although she likes Daiyu, but Mrs. Wang is her own aunt and aunt, and she talks about it herself, so the old lady is going to take advantage of the situation to pick her up?In this way, wouldn't Mrs. Wang be offended?

Sure enough, Mother Jia's eyes lit up when she heard what she said, and she immediately said, "Young girl Feng wanted to get it! It's still cold and the road is not easy to walk. You will go pick it up with Lian'er when the first month is out. You Uncle Lin is not in good health, and there is no elder in the family. Isn't Yu'er lonely at such a young age? Your aunt left me early, leaving only Yu'er. Who to count on."

Wang Xifeng was stunned, she didn't expect Mother Jia to assign herself, even though she was reluctant, she didn't dare to refuse, so she just smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady, Uncle Lin must be in better health now, if you find out that old lady If I miss my sister so much, I will definitely send her here. Besides, the old lady is the wife of a First-Class Duke, and Uncle Lin is only grateful to have the old lady teach my sister, how could he not be happy."

Baoyu didn't know when to turn around. Hearing that Daiyu was going to be picked up, he jumped up and down for joy, and kept asking when he would leave and when he would come back.Jia Mu touched her head with a smile and answered one by one. Baoyu happily got into Jia Mu's arms and called "Old Ancestor".

Mrs. Wang suddenly shouted: "Baoyu, don't mess around, you're still tired of the old lady at such a young age, come down soon!"

But Jia Mu put Baoyu in her arms and said with a smile: "How big can he be? Outside, my father looks after him like cats and dogs. It's rare that today is a holiday, and you tell him what he does."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang stopped making a sound.

Wang Xifeng watched with cold eyes, more and more regretting the impulsive words just now, now it's better, she folded herself inside, and couldn't even hide.

After the banquet was over, Jin Chuan, who was beside Mrs. Wang, came to invite her.Wang Xifeng had expected it, and went to Mrs. Wang's room, and Mrs. Wang really mentioned the matter of going to Yangzhou to pick up Lin Daiyu.

"When the old lady is getting old, she loves to play with her grandchildren, and she loves your Aunt Lin who passed away the most. She naturally loves the house and her daughter left behind by your Aunt Lin. It's hard for the old lady to love her. Your sister Lin was born older than us My sister is stronger, but she was born weak and sick since she was a child, and she lost her mother. It's really pitiful. Now the old lady tells you and Lian'er to go to Yangzhou to pick up people, so you can take care of it early. Don't worry about the housekeeping. For the time being, Zhu'er's wife will take over Cooking. Just one thing to tell you." Mrs. Wang helped her temples, sipped her tea, and said, "Your sister Lin is not in good health, not to mention that the cold spring is the most likely to get sick. I'm afraid she will be ill again when you go. How about Can you travel thousands of miles with a sick body? The old lady will never follow her. If that is the case, send someone to send a letter back and see what the old lady says."

These words are implied very clearly.

"Yes, I remember my wife's words." Wang Xifeng thought in her heart, no one at both ends can afford to offend, and then just send the letter back, let them fight in the ring, and she just obeys the order.

Just after the first month, Jia Lian and Feng's sister and son handed over the affairs in hand, and took the male and female servants to the south by boat.Wang Xifeng grew up in Beijing since she was a child, and she has never traveled far, not to mention this time she is going to Yangzhou. If she hadn't been with her, maybe Jia Lian would have a few more friends.He was unwilling to go out for a trip and lost the news of Jia's mansion, and some confidential matters had to be taken care of, so he left Ping'er and only took Feng'er with him.

The journey was smooth and smooth, and when we arrived in Yangzhou, the peach blossoms were just blooming, and there were many tourists.

A few days ago, Jia Lian sent someone to the Lin family to deliver a letter. Lin Ruhai was not surprised to learn that the Jia family had come, but Wang Xifeng was the one who was surprised.I was afraid that Mother Jia was worried that she would be rejected like last time, so Wang Xifeng came with her. If Wang Xifeng and Daiyu talked about the personnel affairs of Jia's mansion, especially how Miss Jia's mother was, wouldn't it be true given Daiyu's sensitive and thoughtful temperament? Can be untouched?If Lin Ruhai loves her daughter, she will naturally be reluctant to let her be sad, so Xu agrees to send her to Beijing.

If it was according to his original intention, Lin Ruhai naturally didn't want Daiyu to go to Jia's mansion, but the current situation is changing too fast, he has decided to use his tricks to lure the enemy into his trap, so he must send Daiyu Qingyun away.Even if there are some omissions in the rules of Jia's mansion, it is the mansion of the Duke after all, and it is far away from Yangzhou, so it is the safest.The Jia family repeatedly sent people to pick up Daiyu. Outsiders only said that Jia's mother loved her granddaughter, and the prefect and others would not be suspicious.

Jia Lian and his wife entered the Lin residence, Jia Lian went to see Lin Ruhai, and Wang Xifeng was led into the inner house to meet Daiyu.

From the first time she entered the Lin family, Wang Xifeng felt that the Lin family was different from the Jia family.There are obviously not many servants in the Lin family, but they each perform their own duties and conduct their own affairs. No one walks around and speaks casually, and they are everywhere in order. Give it a thumbs up.

The sedan chair stopped at the second gate, Wang Xifeng supported Feng Er's hand to get down, and at a glance, he saw two pretty girls standing at the second gate to welcome her.The one in the big red dress is Daiyu, and the one next to him in the blue dress should be Lin Qingjun, whom Uncle Lin recognized as his adopted daughter, she was just like Lin Qingyun, just by looking at her description, she looks like a poor scholar from the countryside. daughter.

At this time, Lin Qingyun was also observing Wang Xifeng.

But I saw that he was wearing a resplendent and resplendent five phoenix hanging pearl hairpin facing the sun, a pair of sharp red phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow leaf hanging eyebrows, and his pink face was full of spring without anger.Wearing bright red peony flowers with long double-breasted skirts, a white jacket with a stand-up collar, and a red plain pleated skirt, she is "slim and coquettish" as described in the original book.

It really was Wang Xifeng!This luxurious and gorgeous dress all shows the style of the grandma who is the head of the Duke's mansion!

"Second sister-in-law Lian, it's been a hard journey." Daiyu came up to meet her, took Wang Xifeng's hand and asked about the itinerary on the road, and introduced Lin Qingyun to him.At the end, he said: "The house has been ordered to be tidied up. Sister Feng must be tired from the long journey. First, wash and rest. If you have something to do, just order the girls, just like yourself, don't be a layman."

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a year, but sister Lin is quite different. Listening to what she said, it sounded like the housekeeper's grandma." At first, Wang Xifeng only thought that Daiyu was more refined and elegant, and her complexion was much better than that in Jia's mansion. Shi Qiang, when he first heard her words, he was startled and reacted.

Daiyu smiled subtly: "Daddy is busy with work, and there are no elders in the inner house. Although Sister Qingyun and I are young and do not understand, but with the help of Aunt Xu and two nuns to help teach us, we can barely take care of it. It can't be compared. Sister Feng is in charge of the Duke's mansion, and she is in charge of a family of several hundred people, our family is small, so it saves a lot of trouble."

"My younger sister is self-effacing. I think it's very good. No wonder everyone says that my younger sister is extremely intelligent. She is really good. Her poems and books overwhelm everyone. She even manages to be a housekeeper, which is amazing." Wang Xifeng was really surprised, but Also sigh.Daiyu is ten years old this year and it is time to learn to be a housekeeper. Aunt Lin is gone. Uncle Lin is a big man and still thinks about it, but the three sisters of the Jia family usually only do needlework with Zhu's daughter-in-law or play with the old lady. Worry about other things.

"Sister Feng is used to making fun of people." Daiyu sent her to the guest room and asked the maids to take good care of her before leaving.

Wang Xifeng washed up, lay down on the couch, closed her eyes and fell asleep.Because her body was sore from the boat and car for several days, she ordered the servant girl to beat her legs and rub her shoulders, and only waited for Jia Lian to find out what Uncle Lin meant before she could plan the next step.Suddenly it occurred to her that the Lin family recognized this adopted daughter, she had a good character, but she didn't know her temperament.Furthermore, since Yangzhou is far away from the capital city, it is difficult to communicate with each other, and there is a lot of unknown information, so it is not Wang Xifeng's business to act in a muddle.

Wang Xifeng took a look at the little girl of the Lin family who was beating her legs, and asked with a smile: "Yo, you are so delicate and handsome. I heard that girls from Jiangnan are all pretty, and I saw them today. How old are you? What's your name? How many years have you been in the Lin family? But there are still parents?"

The little girl was startled, she obviously didn't expect Wang Xifeng to ask questions, although she was nervous, she still obeyed the rules and lowered her head, her hands kept moving, and she replied: "Returning to Lian's second grandma, the slave girl's original name is Sun Xiaohe, her parents are old people from the Lin family, they started working as errands when they were five years old, and they are ten years old this year."

Wang Xifeng asked again: "What does the other Miss Lin in your house like on weekdays? The things she brings are all compared to your girl's. I'm afraid it won't suit her heart."

"Second Mistress Lian is asking about the eldest girl? The eldest girl has a very good temper, and she has the same temperament as the young lady. Every day, she reads and writes together, manages the housekeeping, and is very concerned about the body of the master and the girl. Even the master said it was because of the eldest daughter. I feel better. The car overturned when I came back from drinking in the first month. The master was seriously injured and scared the two girls. Now that the seasons are changing, the master has an old illness again. The two girls are busy every day. I have to personally look at the master's soup, medicine and diet for the affairs of the mansion, so I am very busy." Because the other party is a relative, and his words seem gentle and amiable with a smile, and what he said is not a secret, he opened his mouth and poured out his words come out.

Wang Xifeng keenly grasped the title of "big girl, girl", and was surprised at how much the Lin family valued this adopted daughter. After all, "big girl" is not just called casually.For example, Shi Xiangyun, Jia's mother is the old aunt of the historian, and she is very close to Xiangyun. In addition, Jia's mother is the highest authority in the Jia family. They would not call her "big girl" directly, but would add a surname in front, calling her "Miss Shi", which not only distinguishes her from her own girls, but also shows her status as a relative living here.

While talking, Feng'er said: "Grandma, Second Master is here."
