[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles

Sure enough, Mrs. Shi was there too, bringing her youngest son, Shi Yuan, and two daughters.Mrs. Shi had only three sons, and these two were presumably concubine daughters.

I had never seen Mrs. Shi take her concubine and concubine out before, but this time it was good, she brought them both, and they were both about the same age as Daiyu.After greeting each other, as expected, they surrounded her from left to right, and praised Daiyu from head to toe.Even the five blessings on a piece of white jade on the skirt became a rare thing in their mouths that they had never seen before.

Jia Min was dragged by Sister Feng to treat guests, so Jia Min exchanged glances with her daughter.Seeing her daughter nodding to her confidently, she clings to Sister Feng's hand and goes over.

Mrs. Shi laughed, "I also want to go up front to help my cousin. The first time they come back, I have to ask Daiyu to help entertain them."

"As soon as I saw the two younger sisters, I was very happy. Naturally, we talked together." Daiyu made a slight blessing, and it was agreed.

"It's the first time my sister and I have come back. I heard that the Grand View Garden in the Rongguo Mansion is magnificent. Seeing it today really lives up to its reputation."

The one who spoke was the younger and slightly older Shi Hong, who was very familiar with himself.The young Shi Qing also nodded repeatedly, with an expression of longing for the Grand View Garden, and said, "Today, my sister and I are following Sister Lin. The Grand View Garden is so big, I am afraid of getting lost."

"Let's sit down together. There are so many maidservants serving you, how could you get lost?" Daiyu also introduced the three ladies from the Jia family behind her to them. Yuan talked while having tea, no matter what else, this reception was praised by everyone.

Shi Hong and Shi Qing didn't want to sit with the family lady of the Jia family, but they didn't have a reasonable reason to refute, so they could only quickly apologize, "Exactly, the few of us happened to be at the same table."

The good day to welcome the Spring Festival is only two months away, and it is even more difficult to come out to meet people.Tanchun followed Mrs. Wang to entertain the guests, Xichun was a clean-sighted person, and would never go with the concubine of the historian.Sitting together, Baochai and Baoyu talked about something funny, covered their mouths with a handkerchief, and the affection on the brows and eyes was so sweet that it could kill people.

They were the most lively group, they were all girls of the same age, one side was trying to please her, and the other side was listening to her words and watching her actions, they were extremely speculative for a while.

"It's really a fairy-like enjoyment to be able to drink tea and look at the scenery here." Shi Hong thought of Shijia, and was quite touched.The historian said that the house was bigger than the Rongguo Mansion, but the same sentence could not stand the crowd.There are many masters and many concubines, and if they are distributed to each head of the house, there are not many.

The young masters are a little bit better, these young ladies, especially concubines, who don't keep sewing every day.Sitting in the garden and looking at the scenery like this is a good thing, and it doesn't happen once a year.

"That's what we thought too. This garden is for taking care of the driver and repairing it. It's really the residence of the gods." Jia Qin answered, her eyes sparkling indescribably.

"The last time the third brother went back, he kept talking about how wonderful Rongguo Mansion was, and he almost praised it to the sky. We begged our mother for a long time before bringing us out to see the world." Shi Hong pursed her lips and smiled. , took a glance at his younger sister Shi Qing.

"Yes, the third brother said that Jing'er in Rongguo Mansion is also good, but looking at it now, it is not like that. There is no better person like Sister Lin."

Daiyu took a sip of tea, "The two younger sisters are really good at joking. Mr. Shi should be talking about the two younger sisters of the Jia family. You should have met them today. They are indeed good people."

She rolled her eyes in her heart, her surname is not Jia.

"Sister Lin is also the cousin of the Jia family, it's the same." Shi Qing laughed again.

"Sister Shi is right. You sisters are also the cousins ​​of the Jia family, and they are all the same."

The two historians didn't know how to respond to these words, Daiyu's eyes were slightly cold, what kind of drama were they singing.Finish singing early, and everyone will be safe and sound.

Jia Qin tried to re-harmonize the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "What's the fun of just drinking tea, why don't you come and play Shuanglu."

Jia Mei yelled, she was a little more lively and not afraid of strangers, she called the little girl to bring them a chess board, and then began to discuss with great interest what to win, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Just as they were talking, the little girl came up to refill tea for them, accidentally knocked over Lin Daiyu's teacup, and poured the tea directly onto her skirt.Several girls stood up in alarm, Xingguo was so hot-tempered that she pushed the little girl, "What are you doing, it's not good to pour a cup of tea."

With this push, she was still holding the teapot in her hand, causing Jia Qin and Jia Mei next to her to wet their clothes and skirts.

"Oh, what's going on, hurry up and send the ladies to the front to change clothes." Immediately, a woman came over, Chen Xiang was a big girl, looked around, and immediately said: "Our lady has a change of clothes, Bailu hurry up Go get it. Miss Qin and Miss Mei came here in a hurry, I'm afraid they won't have time to bring replacement clothes, and I will trouble Mom to prepare them."

"Where is she going? I still have a few sets of shirtless clothes. Go and get two sets from me." When Baochai saw it, she wrapped it around her body. Jia Qin and Jia Mei hurriedly thanked her.

"Go change it in my room." Hearing the voice, Tanchun also came over, and made a woman and a little maid who was pouring water anxious.

After all, it is at the grandfather's house, Mrs. Wang is afraid that she will not be able to cover the sky with one hand, Daiyu secretly knows in her heart, thank you for Tanchun.

Tanchun simply accompanied her personally, Daiyu didn't have much contact with her, thinking that some time ago, she used her character to drag the second wife into the water, causing a quarrel between the two, and ruining Sun Shaozu and Yingchun's marriage.Although this matter is to save Yingchun from fire and water, it is not kind enough to Tanchun.

Speaking of Yi Tanchun's shrewdness, and helping the director in the mansion, he might not be able to guess what's going on here, but he didn't say much, and he didn't say a word when he saw him, and he treated her as before.Such a clear breeze and bright moon, quite like the wind under the forest, made her feel embarrassed.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. Lian's second sister-in-law is relying on you, and she just delays things for us." Daiyu held her skirt in one hand, and was supported by Tanchun in the other. The two walked in the front, Jiaqin and Jammeh followed behind obediently.

"It's just helping my sister-in-law to run errands. It's nothing to rely on, but Aunt Lin said that my sister has already learned to be the director of the house, and the ups and downs are well organized." When Tanchun said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How can it be the same as teaching her hand in hand and sticking it all by herself.

If she hadn't had time to show her face in front of the old lady, and Lian's second sister-in-law had brought herself a little for the sake of her reputation, she might still be in the corner like Yingchun at this moment, turning ashes into ashes.

"I'm not the director of the house, I'm just fooling around. I have the opportunity to hear a lot of interesting things outside, which I didn't have the opportunity to hear before." Dai Yuruo gave her a meaningful look.

Daiyu obviously felt her arms go stiff, and said, "If you have something interesting and don't tell the sisters to have a good time, you should be punished."

"It's an interesting story. The emperor is reluctant to marry his own daughter far away, so he let those empresses and concubines recognize their daughters everywhere. If they recognize their daughters, they will become scapegoats. Tell me, isn't this interesting?"

Tanchun wanted to say, what kind of funny story is this, it is simply a human tragedy.Is the aunt's daughter so pampered that she can't even tell the good from the bad?

No, this elder sister of the Lin family has never been close to their sisters.But he doesn't look like a foolish person when he talks and does things.It was the first time that he talked to himself so affectionately, could it be... meaning something.

But why did she tell herself, she raised her head suddenly, twisted her neck with some difficulty, and looked at Lin Daiyu.All he saw was her pair of water-like eyes sinking towards her, and she let out an inaudible sigh.

"It's really interesting." Tanchun didn't know how he said these words, and even forgot what his aunt told her.

Regarding her horoscope, she finally understood, she was angry about this matter for half a month.But because Yingchun had to get rid of Sun Shaozu for this matter, she could do nothing but get angry.Thinking about it now, I really feel that my aunt has missed her.How could such a person be manipulated by her?

"Don't go to this room, the one across the way." After abruptly changing rooms, Daiyu could feel that Tanchun's voice was trembling.

Xingguo quickly sent the clothes over, and Tanchun accompanied her to change the clothes. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but he didn't know how to ask.Seeing that the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn, Daiyu shut her mouth even more tightly.In this matter, she is very aware of her own weight, and it is impossible for her to help.

All she can do is let Tanchun know in advance and be prepared.It's best if she can save herself.Even if you can't, at least you can think clearly and put forward a few conditions.It's better than being caught off guard and being caught directly.

Tanchun kept shaking until the end, when she suddenly smiled wryly, "I have an aunt and a younger brother, I... that's all, thank you sister. I can't repay you, I can only remind you that it was my mother who asked me to bring a few My sister came over to change clothes, I don’t know about the rest.”

"Don't worry, little sister." After Daiyu changed her clothes, Tanchun stayed in her room with the excuse of having a headache.

The rooms on the east and west sides are specially cleared out to entertain guests. In case one of the ladies has a headache, or feels unwell, or changes clothes temporarily, he will be accompanied by the host, and it is in the courtyard of the lady, so he can rest assured.

The world regards the east as the most respected, and with Tanchun's thoughtful temperament, Lin Daiyu will inevitably be invited to the east wing, while the other two young ladies of the Jia family will naturally go to the west wing.Perhaps it was because Tanchun thought of this that he temporarily changed direction.

Chen Xiang followed behind Jia Qin, and they were all young girls of the same age. Today, Dai Yu specially combed her hair in the same bun as the other three Jia girls.None of the servants dared to stare at Miss. If they only looked at Chen Xiang, they might really think that Jia Qin was Lin Daiyu.

"Miss Mei has changed, and Miss Qin." Xingguo saw that Jia Mei had already changed clothes and was waiting for them, but Jia Qin did not come out.

"It's all right, Miss Qin asked the maidservant to come out to serve the young lady first, saying that she knew the way. Why don't you let Xingguo wait and send Miss Qin there later." Chen Xiang thought to herself, there is no reason to ask her own lady to wait, let alone, here I still don't know what's going on, it's better to get back to the banquet sooner.

"Then Xingguo, you can stay here." Daiyu followed the good advice and went back with Jia Mei. After eating half of the refreshments, she saw Xingguo hurried over with someone.

Jia Qin pleaded guilty, but her face was much rosier than before, even her eyes were a little brighter.Xingguo glanced around Jia Qin's head, Chen Xiang immediately noticed that the white jade lotus hairpin on Jia Qin's head was missing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of going to clean the room, Xingguo leaned into Daiyu's ear and said: "When the servants went, they were still talking to each other outside one window and inside the other window. Why do you choose whatever root you want the first time you see me? It's not about planting flowers, I really don't understand what the third young master of the Shi family is saying?"

Daiyu sneered, "Who did you learn from so poorly?" Immediately, she went to pinch Xingguo's bun face.

Xingguo grinned and covered her face in disapproval, "The servant is so loyal and capable, the lady doesn't even mention the reward, but also pinches her, the servant will feel wronged."

He laughed and said again: "Master Shi San also said that the world can learn from others, as if the courtiers in the drama are loyal to the emperor. He said the truth, and he almost cursed and swore."

"Miss Qin didn't tell the truth, let him mess around?"

"How could she tell the truth? Anyway, through the window, no one can see anyone. The third young master of the Shi family talked a lot, and the servants were very anxious for him. Finally, they passed a bracelet in through the window. The servants really looked at it." Really, it’s a gold thread pinch flower inlaid with sapphires. Seeing Miss Jia Qin handing out the white jade lotus hairpin on her head, the third young master Shi Jia stuffed it into his bosom as if seeing a treasure, and covered it tightly.”

Daiyu shrugged her shoulders with a smile, and suddenly thought, what if she entered this room by herself.

As long as he calls the servant girl to come in or leave when he speaks out, if he doesn't give or receive privately, no one can do anything to her.Through the window, it was not easy for him to come in, and the servants would definitely be alarmed.

It's not that Mrs. Wang left room for her, and arranged for her to stay in Tanchun's yard, and arranged for her to go out like this again.From the looks of it, it seemed as if he had played leniently, without giving up.

In fact, the Wang family wanted to be a cousin and set up a memorial archway at the same time.Helped the historians to get things done, and in the end, if the Lin family was in trouble, they could push it away. If the girl wasn't interested, who could force her to listen to these things, let alone give each other tokens of love? no.

There is also a mother Jia in the Wang family. If she doesn't act like this, she will be caught by Jia Mu, but she will suffer.It is really thoughtful and thoughtful in all aspects.

"Okay, we've been out for a long time, and there's a big show to be heard soon." Daiyu knew what was going on, so she knew what they were going to sing later.

Since Jia Min rejected the other party's marriage proposal, the historians were afraid that the matter would be finalized so that Jia Min would have to marry if she didn't.I really don't know where the historians got such confidence, I think Lin Ruhai can bear his prostitute daughter being plotted by them like this.

Shuanglu on the table has already started to fight, the two Shijia sisters are just watching the chess, whispering a few words from time to time, others just think they are talking about the chess game, and they don't mind.

"If the third brother can really marry a girl from the Lin family, taking advantage of the enthusiasm we have just achieved, my sister must make a good deal with my mother and find you a good family to marry."

"Smelly girl, this kind of talk can also be said outside." Seeing that no one noticed what they were saying, Shi Hong responded.

"If you don't talk outside, there is no place to talk at home." Thinking of the narrow and cramped room at home, and the days when there were a few pairs of ears next door to listen to what I said, what I said came out of my heart, "As long as my sister is well, when I arrive Don't forget about my sister outside, if you have time to help me a little, my sister will be grateful for your kindness."

"If you can do what you want, you will never forget my sister." Shi Hong squeezed her sister's hand, hoping that her aunt would remember what she said.

The third young master of the Shi family has been led by Mrs. Wang to Baoyu, "You don't know how to help entertain your cousin, you brothers stay together first, and then go to the front to meet guests later."

Baoyu reluctantly cupped his hands with the third young master of the historian, "Cousin."

"Cousin, don't be too polite." For this cousin of the Jia family, Shi Yuan was quite envious, how could he hang out in the backyard, and such sisters and sisters didn't even say to avoid him.

I moved to the front yard when I was only ten years old, so I am really more popular than others.Seeing that there are beauties in pink on both sides of him, his eyes couldn't help but look up.

Baochai stood up displeased, "I'm going to talk to Sister Lin, Baoyu is very nice to entertain my cousin Shijia."

Shi Hong and Shi Qing hurried to Shi Yuan, they are biological sisters, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.Only Shi Yuan felt a little regretful, he would rather not have his own sister by his side.

Taking a wrong look, Lin Daiyu's figure is like a bright color in the crowd, making everyone else look like a vulgar fan.Thinking of being able to fulfill my wish today, my heart is like a deer bumping like a deer, and there is an unconcealable joy in my eyes.

Historians have a high threshold, but the family background is not rich, and he is the youngest son who cannot be a prince. It is not so easy to find a good marriage with both integrity and face.But Shi Yuan didn't know, he only knew that his mother said every day how many people wanted to betroth their daughters to him.

His mother often took him out to see each other, usually because he didn't like others, he wanted to be beautiful and unique, and after six months of tossing and turning, he still couldn't find a match.What historians want, but they don't like it, let alone let their daughter be seen by others.

Mrs. Shi was really confused, and Shi Yuan was fooled by his mother, and he didn't realize that there was something wrong with going to see the lady first without saying hello.

For the rejection of the Lin family, Shi Yuan was even more angry than Mrs. Shi.He really didn't understand that he was good in everything, so why would the Lin family refuse.In addition, Lin Daiyu's appearance really caught his heart, and he wanted to tell her his heart.

At this moment, his heart has settled down, and the corners of his lips are slightly raised, holding a white jade lotus hairpin in his sleeve, his mood is like boiling water bubbling, and he is full of joy.

"Could it be that the third brother got something good, and he collected it so tightly, is he afraid that his sister will snatch it away?" Shi Hong giggled, and Shi Qing sang with her, clamoring for Shi Yuan to take the good thing he got. Come out and have a look.

Shi Yuan stared, no matter how confused he was, he knew that the private exchange of tokens should not be known.He was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't intend to make this matter known to everyone.But when the two younger sisters usually see him at home, it's like a mouse seeing a cat. Now they are pretending to be brothers and sisters, and they just keep teasing him as the third brother.

"That's right, the third brother must have picked something good, and my sister doesn't want yours, so it's good to take it out and have a look." Shi Qing covered his mouth and smiled, and explained to Baoyu, "We are used to playing around at home, Bao Er Brother, don't think our sisters are vulgar."

Baoyu is a person who can't walk when he sees a girl's house. When he sees a beautiful girl and has nothing to do, he will go up and say a few words, but at this moment, he seems to be a different person.He only stared at Shi Yuan, and then looked at Daiyu suspiciously. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

No matter how you look at it, I'm probably a bit stronger than this Shi Yuan.Could it be that he really fell in love with Shi Jia, but it doesn't make sense.

In Daiyu's heart, Baoyu and Shi Yuan are really the same, they are not what she wants anyway.

"Stop making trouble, there is nothing good, but there are two jade tokens, you can share them to play." Shi Yuan didn't know that it was his mother's order, and he just thought it was the two younger sisters who took the opportunity to beg him in front of outsiders. He took out two pieces of jade from his sleeve and gave them to them.

Who knew that Shi Hong's eyes were sharp, and by going to get the jade token, he snatched the white jade lotus hairpin from his sleeve, and raised it above his head triumphantly, "He said that there are no good things, so what is it?"

"Give it back to me quickly." Shi Yuan was furious, and stepped forward to grab it. Unaware of Shi Qing's cleverness, he threw the hairpin to Shi Hong. He pinched his wrist and screamed with all his strength.

This call attracted everyone's attention, and a servant woman hurried over from the front and hurriedly reported to the front.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Wang was the first to appear. She is the host, so it's not surprising that she came earlier.

"Second aunt, yes, it's our fault. I played with third brother and took out his precious hairpin, which made him annoyed." Shi Hong cried while still holding the hairpin tightly. The white jade hairpin did not relax at all.

Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed, and she restrained her faint smile, "Could it be that Qing'er is joking, Yuan'er is a young man, how could he have a girl's hairpin?"

When everyone heard this, they were all in an uproar, that's right, how could there be a woman's hairpin on Shi Yuan's body.Only Baoyu was determined, other men might not be able to recognize these hairpins and rings, but Baoyu could recognize that this white jade lotus hairpin was definitely not Daiyu's.

Jia Min is very particular about the things her daughter uses, paying attention to low-key luxury and connotation.Baiyu's hairpin must be the best mutton jade, and she can wear it on her head without any flaws.

Although this white jade hairpin is also a good thing, but Baoyu, who is used to Jia Mu's hidden things, can tell at a glance that it is a gift from a wealthy family, simply put, it is for others.The weight is not light, and it is worth some silver, but it is not particularly expensive.

Mrs. Wang was far from paying so much attention to Daiyu, so she naturally didn't know that her son had thoroughly studied the things Daiyu was wearing.As if she had obtained the evidence, hidden under the forehead lines of Chengchuan characters was a smile that she thought she had succeeded.

"Yuan'er, whose hairpin is this, my son, you, do you want to kill me?" Mrs. Shi came over, took the white jade hairpin from Shi Qing, and rushed to where Daiyu was standing flamboyantly. , raised an eyebrow.

Daiyu smiled in response, and stood where she was gentle and softly, without the slightest sign of panic, stabbing into Mrs. Shi's eyes, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.Are you not afraid at all when the evidence is seized?Still eager to yell out and make things a foregone conclusion.

She hesitated a little, and while she was hesitating, Jia Min also rushed over, "It's all right, what's going on with these children, Biao Shijia's sister-in-law."

Chen Xiang had already sneaked to the front and told the story again, she asked Chen Xiang to tell her daughter, and left everything to her.

"What's wrong with me, what's wrong with me, there's no way my son has this kind of thing on him, he must have gotten it today, of course I have to ask clearly." Mrs. Shi's hesitation immediately dissipated after Jia Min spoke.
