The Lady of the Farm in the Red Mansion

The room was leaking and it was raining all night, and when Xiuyan was short of money, Daiyu's birthday was approaching. This time Miss Lin's birthday was different from the past where everyone pooled money and handed it over to the big kitchen, but the old lady paid for it herself. The purse was personally arranged by Kitchen C, which shows how much the old matriarch loves her granddaughter, Baoyu is the only one in the garden who has enjoyed this kind of treatment.

No one dared to be negligent, and began to carefully prepare Ms. Lin's birthday present a few days ago.

Xiuyan learned that what Baochai was going to give was a string of creamy dew fragrance strings. The beads on the string were round and plump, fragrant to the touch, and had the effect of concentrating the mind and nourishing the energy. Youshi gave a large box of flower ingots. Although it is a bit vulgar, it suits her own temper. Whether Miss Lin will like it is another matter.The third girl gave a piece of fragrant cloud gauze, and the fourth girl gave ancient calligraphy and painting. As for the second girl, she seemed to have no idea what to give, as she hadn't made up her mind about what to give. Many people had already given away fabrics for clothes and shoes, antique calligraphy and paintings. She doesn't like to collect, and she can't get one or half a piece out at the moment, and she is afraid of being laughed at if she gives gold or silver, so she is also very distressed these days.

Xiuyan's distress is different from that of the second girl. It's not that she doesn't know what to give, but that she has nothing to give. Seeing that Miss Lin's birthday is approaching day by day, she has nothing but Brother Mu's jade and a few winter clothes. Jade is absolutely unacceptable as an object, but if the winter clothes are pawned, what should she wear for the winter?

It seems that we can only take one step at a time. No wonder Zhou Nanny said that there will be more places to spend money in the future. If there is no one or two hundred taels of silver for turnover, life will be difficult. Now, Xiuyan has experienced this difficulty.

So she asked her little girl to pawn the winter clothes, and bought a jade bracelet at the nearby jade shop with all the money. Although the color was ordinary and it was not worth much, she had nothing else What a solution! I just hope that Miss Lin will not be disgusted by that time.

On the day of Daiyu's birthday, Xiuyan woke up early, but when she arrived, Daiyu's threshold was almost broken.

I saw Daiyu wearing a lotus-colored long one-piece dress with double-breasted ties, with flowing clouds and loose sleeves. When the wind blew, the long sleeves fluttered like butterflies and fluttered like a blue wave fairy.

Sister Feng laughed and said: "Look at the girl's attire, I don't think today is the girl's birthday, but the day when she attains enlightenment and ascension. We are not here to celebrate birthdays, but to send God off!"

"Sister Feng's mouth is poor, Zijuan, why don't you tear up Sister Feng's mouth for me!"

"How dare I!" Zicuckoo turned to the back of the house, and after a while brought out a bowl of longevity noodles, which were sliced ​​noodles made of spinach juice. One piece was two fingers wide, thin, shiny, and cooked. Let it cool down, and you can eat it with chili oil, so it is called Spinach Green Oil Sprinkle Cut Noodles.

"Oh! Our concubine Xiaoxiang is really different. Even the birthday noodles are so ingenious. I think that the birthday noodles that people in our garden ate for their birthdays were not silver noodles. Even Baoyu was no exception. It seems that the old lady Jun loves your granddaughter, who is ten times and a hundred times stronger than her grandchildren." Sister Feng continued.

"It's so exaggerated. I'm tired of eating the silver noodles. The old lady just wanted to make something new. It's just like Sister Feng said, it seems that the old lady has partiality!"

Sister Feng's eyes kept on saying, "Look, Miss Lin is talking about me, she is the one who is amazing!"

"You also have today. You are usually the one who plays tricks among us stupid daughters-in-law. Today you deserve to be robbed by the younger generation. It is also our revenge!" You Shi said.

"Greatly, I didn't come here to celebrate Miss Lin's birthday today. You are looking for revenge on me. It seems that this is not my place to stay for a long time. I'd better put down the gift and leave wisely!" So Sister Feng put the gift in a special place. On the mahogany round table where gifts were piled up, he took a piece of mango cream roll from the snack table next to him and said, "This cream roll tastes really good, especially the mango filling, which is sweet and smooth. Hurry up and pay back, everyone!" While talking, he wanted to get away.

"Why are you running? More delicious food is yet to come!" Youshi said.

"I'm afraid I won't be blessed!" Sister Feng said cheerfully.

"Is it because the gift you gave is too shabby, and you want to run away as soon as you are afraid of being criticized!"

"If that's the case, tell Miss Lin to hit me directly in the face." When it comes to gifts, Sister Feng is quite confident.

"I'd like to see what she gave you." Youshi said as he opened Sister Feng's gift box, and saw a yellow gold appraiser collar lying on the red velvet cloth! Youshi shook his head and said, "This thing is too expensive." It's quite noble, but it's just not worthy of Miss Lin!" You Shi looked at Baochai's collar.

Daiyu was not convinced: "Who stipulated that only Sister Bao can wear a collar! Today I will wear it. It's just that I never saw Daiyu wear it again after that day. It turns out that she is as proud as she is in her heart." disdainful.

You Shi smiled and said: "I don't have a handbag of flower bags here. Although it is also gold, it is more creative than Feng girl's. There are pinholes on the gold flower bags. You can use gold and silver threads to wear pearls and agate crystals." Match it with stone jade grains, make bracelets, anklets, necklaces, and even hair accessories as you like, you see, my hibiscus and crystal flower bracelet is made of this flower!" He said, twitching the strap of the handbag. Gulu rolled out a pile of golden flowers, each one the size of a lotus seed rice, with hibiscus, jasmine, peony, crabapple, peonies and other colorful flowers.

"Sister-in-law Zhen, you are worth a thousand pieces of gold, and one piece is worth a lot of money. You are indeed a rich man in the East Mansion, and your moves are extraordinary, but you might as well choose two or three pieces carefully instead of giving a bag of broken ziggurats." Coupled with some cheap and good-looking crystals to make bracelets, I think Miss Lin likes bracelets more than a bag of broken pistachios."

"I'm not lazy. Those handicrafts of wearing beads are the most useless. You also know that I am a master of nerves, and I am the most unscrupulous!"

"Sister-in-law Zhen, Yu'er wants you to find the gods for me today. I don't care for you loose scorpions, but I want you to help me make these golden flower scorpions into exquisite bracelets!" Daiyu grabbed a handful. Jasmine placed it firmly in Xiangyun's palm.

"Ah!" Youshi immediately fell into pain.

Xiuyan thought, You Shi deserved to be the number one leader in the Dongfu, and she was really generous, but Miss Lin was really tricky, she didn't want to let go, and insisted that the distinguished sister-in-law Zhen of the Dongfu personally wear the chain for her. Not knowing how picky Miss Lin would be on her poor-looking jade bracelet, Xiuyan tightly held the jade bracelet in her handbag, not having the courage to give it away.

She was the last one to deliver the presents until everyone had brought out the presents. Unexpectedly, Miss Lin took a deep look at her, smiled slightly, and thanked her.

Then everyone ate birthday noodles and snacks together, talking and laughing, and Xiuyan was always like an invisible person among the sisters, Xiuyan walked out after eating a little.
