[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

This morning, Lin Daiyu had her breakfast and wanted to talk to Fuqing, but when she left the courtyard, she heard a little girl who was sweeping and crying, she said, "This is strange, why are you crying like this? Call and ask."

She has always been generous to her servants, the little girl is not afraid of her, she came over with red eyes, Xueyan said to her, "I don't know who it is, it turned out to be Xiaoli. Even if you are unhappy, you hide and cry, why not?" Crying like this at the gate of the courtyard? Let others see what it looks like, I will hand you over to Sister Chunyu."

Xiao Li sniffed, and quickly apologized, "It's mine, please don't blame me, Miss, just now my aunt said something to me, and I couldn't hold it back for a while."

Xueyan told Lin Daiyu about Xiaoli's life experience. It turned out that Xiaoli's parents were not in good health and could not do heavy work, so she worked in the mansion with her aunt, who was the wife of a kitchen helper.

"Last month, I asked my aunt to bring the monthly money back to my parents. Who knew that she took it privately. I was so angry that I asked her to argue, and she said that my parents are short-lived, so don't waste the money." From the beginning to the end, "I said back that it was mine, not to mention being filial to my parents, even if I threw water, it didn't matter to her. I asked her to return the money, but she refused to admit it."

I can't talk about it, I can't beat it, I have an errand, so I have to come back crying first.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu thought about it, and said to Xueyan, "She pays five hundred renminbi a month, so take five liang of silver and give it to her."

He comforted Xiaoli again and said, "I'll give you a day off and go back to see your parents. Don't cry, wash your face and go back happily, and then you can pay for your own monthly money to see the prison. Just remember, a dog bit a person , people still want to bite back."

Xiaoli thanked her and went down, Yishuang said, "Then what about her aunt? Let's not deal with it?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "You can't remember what you just said. If a dog bites you, do you bite back? There is a kind of rascal in this world. As long as you beat her to death, you will bark like a dog. They are all relatives, and today I kicked her out because of Xiaoli, so it's hard to guarantee that she won't go to Xiaoli to make trouble, but it's not beautiful."

Yishuang sighed, "It's really troublesome to be a human being. If there is a mad dog who bites someone and kills him, that's all. But this person is not guilty of death. After all, his life is worth it."

"Let her go, is it worth feeling like this?" Lin Daiyu pinched her, "Have you packed your things?"

"There's nothing to pack."

"Nonsense, I gave you all these things, and you are not going to take them away. This really hurts my heart." Lin Daiyu pinched again, "If you don't take them away, I will throw them all away. .”

"Don't, don't, I can't take it."

Xueyan and the others were confused, and hurriedly asked, "How did you say that? Why did you pack up your things so well?"

Lin Daiyu held back her reluctance and said, "She was engaged in a marriage at home, and now she is about the same age, so she was let out."

Everyone was reluctant to part with her, but it was because they liked her and they were all happy for her. Madam Chen said, "Miss Yishuang has been very considerate in recent years. Since she is releasing a married woman, she must add makeup. Another Now that she is gone, there are only three of Xue Yan and the others by Miss's side, so I have to choose another person to make up for the four first-class maids."

Lin Daiyu said, "I'll report to my wife later and see if it's someone from somewhere or from the second class. It's not urgent."

The crowd stopped mentioning it and surrounded her to the princess's yard.The princess asked someone to move a soft couch under the big tree in the courtyard, and she was leaning sideways listening to Xue Baoqin talking about the interesting things she encountered when she was doing business with her parents.

Seeing Lin Daiyu coming, Fuqing waved and said, "I'm going to call you, come quickly."

Insisting on dragging Lin Daiyu to the crooked side, Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "The princess just got up, so I'm in a good mood."

Fuqing hugged a pillow and yawned, "There is nothing left and right, and I can't go anywhere. Just blow the wind and listen to what Baoqin has to say, and you can listen to it too. It's very interesting."

Xue Baoqin softly called Miss Lin, and Lin Daiyu plucked a pearl flower from her hair, "It's the first time I see Miss Xue Er, we are also relatives, this is a gift for you to meet."

Xue Baochai had already told Xue Baoqin about Lin Daiyu's relationship with her family, so Xue Baoqin accepted it generously, and said with a smile, "Since you are a relative, then I will call you Sister Lin."

Lin Daiyu nodded with a smile, "What did you say just now, I told you to interrupt you. Go on and don't worry about me."

Xue Baoqin went on to say, "When I was eight years old, I went to the coast of the West Sea with my father to do business. I met a foreign beauty with yellow hair. She was born and dressed just like the Western paintings. She was dressed in western clothes. , with gems and agates hanging from her hair. I heard that she also knows the characters of the sky/chao, so my father asked her to write a piece of calligraphy, which was her own poem."

After that, she recited a five-character rhythm.

Lin Daiyu said, "This poem is pretty good, much better than the usual ones here. It can be seen that this beauty is really good at writing and ink."

Fuqing smiled and said, "It's not easy to get a good sentence from you. I heard from your wife that you used to like to write poems and couplets with others. Now you have nothing to do. Write a poem and see."

Lin Daiyu glanced at her, "What's so interesting, can you still write peony flowers? What's more, I don't have anyone to accompany me, the princess will couple sentences with me?"

"Ha, I don't understand these things the most. Baoqin accompanies you, Sister Lin, to compose poems. I will reward whoever writes well among you." Fuqing said, "Baochai is also talented, go and call her Together."

For a while the three girls gathered together, and asked to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Since it was the princess who started it, then the princess decided on the title and the rhyme, so we won't let our eyes be dimmed."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help sneering, and Fuqing said, "My son got a box of tung flowers, you don't care whether you write tung flowers or phoenix trees, and you can rhyme as you like."

Xue Baoqin was the fastest, and she wrote the quiet scene covered by vines and radishes and made clear by wuzhu. Chic."

Lin Daiyu also looked at it once, and said with a smile, "Whether you act according to your heart, and you can see the small scenes when you write grandly. This is free and easy. If the weather is always changing, wouldn't it be deliberate."

Fuqing pointed at her and said, "Hey, you have time to talk about others, but what about yourself?"

Lin Daiyu stuck out her tongue, "That's it."

After finishing speaking, I wrote a seven-character poem with the artistic conception of sycamore and drizzle, bit by bit.

Xue Baochai got it too, she laughed, "I'm just making up the numbers, I'm not as talented as Datong, I can't compare to Miss Lin and Sister Qin."

"You, you have always been self-effacing. I will look at you first, and I will not let you suffer." Fuqing said with a smile after reading it, "You just said that your sister wrote a unique scene, and you are arrogant. "

It turns out that Xue Baochai wrote Fengqiwu, and she wrote at the beginning of the article, "Water is not a ravine where the dragon lies, but the wood is the phoenix and the phoenix. 1"

"These two sentences have the taste of Tang Gaoshi's 'playing on the scales and playing in the blue waves, singing the phoenix and inhabiting the phoenix trees'. After all, it is Miss Xue, who has strong knowledge and great ambitions." Lin Daiyu has only called her Miss Xue since that time, and now The same is true for the addition of Xue Baoqin, which made Baoqin feel suspicious and secretly guessed whether the two had a rift.

Fuqing took Lin Daiyu's, "Just talk, let me see yours."

Lin Daiyu wrote that the rain hits the phoenix trees, and the voice is desolate. Just reading these words, there is infinite sadness. Fuqing said, "It reminds me of the first step before the dawn. Although the two of them wrote well, it's not as good as you. Sorrow, but the word "sorrow" hits my face, let me take a closer look, how does your heart grow, why don't you be more delicate than others."

Xue Baochai followed Fuqing to praise Lin Daiyu, and said, "Miss Lin is still young, and she is still in her prime. When the spring is in full bloom, don't make such sad voices in the future. It's a bit ominous. It's better to change two sentences. Transcribing the scene of rain is a pity that Liu Chun can't stop, and it's also very clever."

"The ingenuity is Miss Xue's ingenuity. I definitely don't have such ingenuity." Lin Daiyu smiled, "I'm a weird person, but I like the sad sound of flowers falling on phoenix trees and phoenixes. This poem is not good, so I don't want it." .”

As he said that, he tore the paper into several pieces, handed it to Xue Yan and said, "Take it down and ask them to burn it."

Xue Baochai was a little embarrassed by her slap in the face, "I'm just saying something in vain, why should Ms. Lin be like this, poetry is still good poetry, it's my fault."

Lin Daiyu rested her chin on one hand, and smiled even wider, "It has nothing to do with Miss Xue. The ancients said it, and it's hard to adjust. I can't change it if anyone says it. It doesn't need to be like this. My things, what do you think? Writing, how I want to tear it up is my own pleasure, and it has nothing to do with others."

She even said two very irrelevant things, and she was really upset, because you are in bad luck, and your whole family is in bad luck.If you write that Fengqiwu is auspicious and died, your whole family will be auspicious.

Fuqing has always ignored these things. It is too troublesome for women to bicker.What's more, Lin Daiyu didn't lose the wind, and there was no need for her highness, the princess, to come forward.

She stretched her waist, "If you tear it up, you will be regarded as abstaining from the vote. I will judge the two of them to be tied for first place."

"That's right, I didn't write well, so how could this mournful sound catch the princess' eyes." Lin Daiyu poked Xue Baochai again.

Fuqing pretended to get up and walk around, and kicked Lin Daiyu lightly, it was almost done, you are Xue Bandu who is going to run on the palace to death.

Lin Daiyu brushed the hem of her skirt pretending to be unintentional. She messed with me first, she said it was a bad morning, bad luck!

Fuqing was addicted to kicking, and was about to lift her foot to step on Lin Daiyu's skirt again. She didn't want her legs to feel heavy. She looked down and saw that Lin Manman was hugging her leg, looking at her eagerly, "Hold, hug!"

The princess's heart melted, and she picked it up and hugged her tightly, "Hug, hug, who else will you hug if you don't hug us?"
