The Historian of the Red Chamber has a daughter

While having dinner with Jia's mother that night, Shi Xiangyun proposed to stay at Lin Daiyu's house for a few days.Mother Jia was somewhat reluctant. In fact, since Baoyu and the others moved to the garden, they spent much less time with Mother Jia.There are only Lin and Shi, who accompany Jia Mu every day, rain or shine.

"Are you two going back?" Mother Jia said reluctantly, but she didn't stop her, "Okay, I see, your old lady is getting old, so it's good to spend more time with her."

"Don't worry about the old ancestor, sister Yun and I will be back in a few days." Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu went back to Shi's house in a carriage early the next morning. Mrs. Shi was very happy to see them coming back, "Yun girl, Yu'er, you are here too! Winter solstice, hurry up, serve tea. This is you My second uncle sent someone to send me Pu'er tea, which tastes pretty good."

Shi Xiangyun saw that the things in Chunhui Hall were almost collected, and asked, "Did the second uncle write again?"

Mrs. Shi smiled all over her face, and beckoned the two to sit down beside her, and then looked at Shi Xiangyun with the same eyes that Jia's mother used to look at Jia Baoyu. Seeing that Shi Xiangyun was uncomfortable, she twisted her body awkwardly, "Yes. , came with the letter, and the person sent by your second uncle to pick me up, so, Yun'er, I guess I won't be able to wait for Master Lin to return to Beijing."

So that's the case, and this can explain why Mrs. Shi, who has always been more restrained in expressing her emotions, stared at herself with such disgusting eyes.Shi Xiangyun thought so.

"Grandmother, did something happen to Second Uncle?" Otherwise, Second Uncle wouldn't be so active and send someone to pick him up without discussing with Grandmother.

Mrs. Shi's smile paused, then she sighed softly and nodded, "You guessed right! It's about the Wei family that I mentioned last time. Your second uncle offended Mrs. Changchun Marquis over this matter, Therefore, the Marquis of Changchun often makes things difficult. Because I am related to Mrs. Madam Changchun, and we have a good relationship on weekdays, so your second uncle wants to pick me up as soon as possible to ease his current predicament. More serious What's more, Mrs. Changchun Marquis introduced your elder brother to a marriage. Although the family is noble, the woman in that family has bad morals. There was a scandal of elopement with the son of a servant in the mansion! Your second uncle and second aunt How can you agree to such a marriage, so you have been trying to delay this marriage. Your second uncle is in a hurry and has nothing to do now!"

Shi Xiangyun sighed, and exchanged a glance with Lin Daiyu, "When is grandma going to leave?"

Mrs. Shi said with a smile: "I planned to leave in ten days. If you don't come back today, I plan to send someone to pick you up tomorrow. There are some things I have to explain to you!" Then she looked at Lin Daiyu with regret , grabbed Shi Xiangyun's hand and placed it in Lin Daiyu's. "Yu'er, good boy. I'll leave girl Yun to you. She's a poor person, and I can't keep guarding her and see her have a good home. Fortunately, she still has you as a good sister. Your father can make decisions for her. I have already written to your father, and your father promised me that he will help me take care of Xiangyun. I planned to talk to your father again in person, and it seemed more solemn , but now the time is too late. Today, I will hand over Yun'er to you. I don't ask her to be rich and famous in the future, but only ask her to be safe and smooth in her life."

Lin Daiyu blushed slightly, but seeing Mrs. Shi's earnest eyes, she resisted her shyness and nodded, "Don't worry, old lady, I will take good care of Sister Yun!"

Mrs. Shi felt relieved after receiving Lin Daiyu's personal guarantee, "Nurse Fang!"

"Yes, old lady!" Nanny Fang and Dong Zhi came over with a dressing box in their hands. The two dressing boxes are different, but they are both made of mahogany. The dressing box is about 16 inches high and 11 inches long. , about eight inches wide.

Mrs. Shi looked at the two dressing boxes, her eyes full of memories, "These two dressing boxes are the dowry left to me by my grandparents. It was brought by the princess at the beginning. Later it was passed on to me. I have been reluctant to use it, and now, I will leave it to you two!"

Lin Daiyu naturally knew the value of this dressing box, so she hurriedly declined, "I can't accept such a valuable thing. Old lady, you can leave it to Sister Yun!"

Mrs. Shi smiled, "You two sisters have each other, and you have both. Don't refuse. Keep it! Girl Yun's dowry, your mother's dowry list was kept by Madam Wei at the beginning, waiting for your marriage to be finalized Yes, the Zhang family in Jiangnan will naturally send someone to bring over your mother's dowry. I also left a dowry for you, and the list is handed over to Dongzhi. Dongzhi will not go with me this time. I have already matched her. , she will belong to Wang San's family from now on. Our old house will be looked after by her family. If you need anything in the future, just go to her."

Shi Xiangyun blushed, "Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about! How old am I!" In the 21st century, I'm still a primary school student, am I about to talk about marriage?She turned her head and saw Lin Daiyu who was looking at her jokingly. Well, Lin Daiyu was only a little older than herself, and she was already engaged.This world!

A trace of exhaustion flashed across Mrs. Shi's face, and Shi Xiangyun saw her, "Grandmother, please rest first, I will take sister Lin to Huilan Garden to rest first."

Mrs. Shi hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days. She has been worrying about her second son, her eldest grandson, and girl Yun. She really can't hold on anymore.So she nodded, "Okay, I see, you go first, and have lunch with grandma at noon."

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu returned to Huilan Garden. Lichun held the dressing box and said suddenly: "Girl, there seems to be something in this dressing box, why is it so heavy!"

Shi Xiangyun looked up at Lichun in surprise, and Xuelu, who was holding a dressing box next to him, also nodded, "Yes! The one in my hand is the same, it's heavy!"

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly asked them to put the dressing box on the table. She and Lin Daiyu went up to study it. When they opened the drawer, both of them were shocked. Did they see the legendary treasure chest?Inside is a dazzling array of jewelry, and none of them are ordinary products.

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu glanced at each other, "This, isn't this too exaggerated?" There are many good things that they only saw at Jia Mu's. , as makeup for them.Why did Mrs. Shi suddenly become so generous!

"Sister Yun, I can't take this thing!" Lin Daiyu said firmly after thinking about it.

Shi Xiangyun smiled and shook his head, "Are you joking! This is the old lady's kindness. She has always treated you the same as me. What the old lady means is that when you leave the cabinet in the future, she may not be in the capital. This is her This grandmother added makeup to yours. You can keep it at ease. If you feel uneasy, just treat me better in the future!"

Lin Daiyu blushed because Shi Xiangyun brought up the matter of leaving the court again, Mother Jiang packed her luggage and walked in with a smile, just in time to hear Shi Xiangyun's words, she said with a smile: "Miss Yun's words are very reasonable! This is Mrs. Shi's wish, please keep it, girl!"

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, and then personally told Madam Jiang to put the mahogany dressing box away solemnly.

Mrs. Shi let go of her worries, and in the next few days, while ordering people to pack their bags, even though she was preparing to leave, she brought Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu with her, taught them carefully, and tried her best to make her own for decades. The lessons learned are told to the two.The day before departure, Mrs. Shi took Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu to Jia's house. Mother Jia also knew that Mrs. Shi was about to go to the southwest, so she held a family banquet to see her off.

"Auntie, after I leave, Miss Yun will be entrusted to you. It belongs to Wang San's family." Mrs. Shi tilted her head slightly.The winter solstice belongs to Wang San’s family, and he came up with a brocade box in his hand. Mrs. Shi took it, opened the brocade box, put it on the table, and pushed it down in front of Jia Mu, “Here is a 1000 taels of silver note, right to be It's what Yun girl needs to live in Jia's house. I don't know how long it will be until I come back, if I don't have enough money, send someone to the Shijia and Wang San's family to tell them, Wang San's family will make up for it."

Mother Jia grimaced, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that my great-aunt can't even afford to support her own grandniece? Sister-in-law is scolding me!"

Mrs. Shi said angrily: "Look at you, you are still so hot-tempered! I don't know how long it will be before I come back. Although Yun girl is your grandniece, there is a difference between closeness and estrangement. There is no girl from the Shi family in this world. Let the Jia family take care of it! Besides, girl Yun grows up day by day, and she will go out to socialize a lot in the future. I have already entrusted this matter to Princess Nan'an, and she will take girl Yun and girl Lin out in the future. You can’t spend money on clothes and jewelry when you go out to socialize and socialize! I can’t ask the family to pay for this money!”

Mother Jia still had this face, she still thought Mrs. Shi was slapping herself in the face!

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Oh, my good aunt! What are you talking about! How much money can someone as young as Sister Yun spend? The monthly allowance for our girls is only 2 taels of silver! Auntie’s words are too outrageous! How about this, I’m in charge, I’ll be responsible for all the expenses of sister Yun in our house! Is this the head office? This is 1000 taels of silver, auntie Take it back, and add makeup to Sister Yun in the future!"

Wang Xifeng's words turned Jia Mu's anger into joy. She looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile, her eyes were full of satisfaction and joy, "It's still Feng girl who understands my heart! Old sister-in-law, you take back this money. Yu'er lives together, and all her expenses and supplies will come from my house! That's it!"

The author has something to say: Mrs. Shi saw Jiamu's firm attitude, and knew that if she continued to talk, she would fall out, so she ordered Wang San's family to take back the bank note, thinking, secretly hand it over to Miss Yun in the future!Although I know that Yun girl is not short of money, but it is always my own kindness!

After drinking and eating, Mother Jia took Mrs. Shi to Rongqing Hall. Seeing this, Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu also followed.Jia Baoyu also wanted to go up to join in the fun, but Xue Baochai held him back, "Brother Bao, the old lady of the Shi family must have something to tell you, what are you going to do with me? Didn't you say yesterday that the roses in Yihong Courtyard were blooming and invited us?" Did the sisters go to enjoy the flowers? Why did you change your mind now?"

Jia Tanchun also walked over under Mrs. Wang's gaze, "Yes! My wife rewarded me with a box of tea yesterday. Today, I want to drink this tea for viewing flowers. Do you think it's good?"

Surrounded by Xue Baochai and his sisters, Jia Baoyu was so happy that he walked into the garden happily.

Inside Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia sighed and looked at Old Madam Shi who was drinking tea, "What do you think about Miss Yun's marriage? Do you trust me, or the concubine?"

Mrs. Shi paused while drinking tea, and then said with a smile: "I plan to leave the marriage of Miss Yun to Uncle Lin. After all, Uncle Lin is Miss Yun's adoptive father, so it should be handed over to him. I understand what you mean , it’s just that Yun girl is not suitable for your family’s Baoyu.” Mrs. Shi looked at Jia’s mother and smiled, “Why? Are you unhappy because I think my words are ugly? In fact, what I said is the truth. In fact, your family has a noble concubine again. If our two families get married, do you think the Holy Majesty will be at ease? And when Baoyu was born in your family, there was such a commotion, do you think the Holy Majesty has forgotten? Baoyu’s marriage should not be high, Only low."

Jia Mu frowned, yes, after a long time, Yuan Chun became a concubine again, and she forgot about it.

Outside the door, Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun were also shocked.They seem to have heard some terrible secret?
