[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

Shi Xiangyun heard that Jia Baoyu was getting better every day, and he felt relieved. Jia's mother had a stroke and Baoyu was bedridden. Although she had Sanchun sisters who could visit her, she was very lonely. Only Baochai could comfort her.

She was in a daze in the room, Xiren smiled with a small bundle in her arms, "Young lady is so laid back, it just so happens that I have something to bother you."

Shi Xiangyun said, "Say it quickly, I'm feeling bored."

Xiren put down the burden and said, "Baoyu is the best. The house is busy with serving. Don't worry about daily life and food. It's just that it's Chinese New Year and I don't have any clothes yet. He doesn't know how to work in a sewing room, so I have to bother him." You. Besides the shoes and purse, the most important thing is two new coats."

Shi Xiangyun blushed, "This thing is no better than shoes, I'm not good at making it."

Xi Ren said, "My dear girl, can you still not trust me? If I don't tell you, if you don't tell me, who would know? At least help me this time."

Shi Xiangyun said, "Let's go, let's help, no matter how hard we are, it's not bad this time."

Jia Baoyu's middle coat is of course a good material for daily use, but it is white and flowery at a glance. Shi Xiangyun is afraid that people will see it, so he does sewing behind closed doors every day. The girl in the mother's room laughed at her once, and Amber was very eloquent, and said with a smile, "Ms. Shi originally said that she was ordered by her aunt to do needlework in the Hou's mansion, and she often stayed until midnight. Now that her aunt is not here, she still wants to do it." Work hard like this."

Fei Cui said, "Although the Shi family has been released, doesn't Miss Shi not give away the needles and threads to honor her elders? It's really pitiful."

Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun was not filial at all when Jia's family sent New Year's gifts out of Beijing, Amber scoffed, "Look at you guys saying that Miss Shi is pitiful, I don't know where she does her sewing behind closed doors every day .”

This was originally said in private, but Jia Yuanchun overheard it. She was so shrewd, she sent someone to inquire and found out that Xiren delivered the package first, and Shi Xiangyun started sewing behind closed doors.She knew that Mrs. Wang believed deeply in attacking people, and she kept it for Baoyu to be her aunt, so she didn't point out the matter, but just kept a close eye on it.

Jia Baoyu secretly called Yan Ruyu a few times, but no one paid any attention to him, except for Jia Yuanchun, who was Mrs. Wang the most on weekdays, with her two sitting in the town, all the maids refused to play around with him, and Sanchun, who came to visit with him, complained Said, "It's good to be here with my wife, but I'm so bored, I'm not as comfortable as before."

Yingchun didn't know if she heard it or not, she sat down with her head down, and Tanchun said, "It's because the second elder brother is sick, so he looks bored. When you recover, who will hold you back."

Jia Baoyu still didn't show his face, and asked suddenly with a few gossips, "Sister Bao has been gone for a long time, is it possible that she is also bored at home like me?"

Tanchun said, "Sister Bao specially invited Nanny to come over to learn the rules at home."

If you ask Aunt Xue to say, this is not a nanny, she is clearly a debt collector, and she is not called to learn the rules, but to suffer.

The Golden Nanny hired by her family was as greedy as the outside said. Every time she taught Baochai, she had to ask for money first. It is said that it is for Xue Baochai's good, and the rules in the palace are strict.

Even someone like Xue Baochai couldn't help feeling bitter and almost turned his face.

It was Xue Pan who felt sorry for his younger sister, and said to Aunt Xue, "Since she likes silver, it's fine to give her some. My sister is rich in gold and jade, can't it compare to these silvers?"

Aunt Xue said, "It's not that I feel sorry for silver, it's really a bottomless pit, if you make fish you want chicken, if you give silver you want gold, if you don't like it at all, you will toss your sister."

Xue Pan said urgently, "Then I sent the old woman away, but it's really hard to find the nanny, I'm afraid it will delay my sister."

Aunt Xue sighed, "What else can I do, children are debts."

Not wanting to, Xue Pan said again, "Mom, why don't you ask the second wife to ask the Lin family, I inquired about a very good nanny who was recuperating at home, and she used to come from the Empress Dowager's palace, but they said she was going to Yangzhou to be a teacher for the Lin family. Mammy, I refuse to agree."

Aunt Xue asked suspiciously, "Which Lin family from Yangzhou?"

"It's the Lin family where the aunt in Jia's mansion married. Now the Lin family's mistress is the daughter of the king of Zhijun, Huaishu County Lord. Otherwise, how could she have such a big face?" Xue Pan said, "The mother is still resting now. So, it won’t be too late to go to Yangzhou after teaching my sister.”

"How would you know, the Lin family had fallen out with the mansion long ago, otherwise you would think that the old lady suddenly became ill." Aunt Xue sighed again, but Xue Pan didn't believe it, and said that she would try again.

In addition to gold and silver, his method of trial was to come to the door to recognize relatives. Two young servants knocked on the door of the family, saying that they were relatives of the Lin family, and that the Lin family would not be unhappy even if the nanny taught his sister first.

The nanny wondered at home, "Isn't the Xue family an imperial merchant? Why are you related to the husband's family of Lord Huaishu?"

Jia's house is only a second-class family, she is not well informed about these news in the palace, she has no children, only one niece is married and often comes back to see her, her niece said, "I know that, this Xue family is from Rongguo The second wife's nephew, the first wife of the Lin family, is a daughter of the Rongguo Mansion."

"It's just a fight." Mammy was not very happy, "Although I am a relative, the palace specially asked me to teach Miss Lin. Although I haven't set off yet, I can't just go to other people's house. Let the door refuse He will not be rewarded for his merits, so let’s return everything.”

For this matter, he went to Zhijun Wangfu to sue him.The nanny in charge told the concubine emphatically that someone wanted to seize the nanny that the county lord had specially entrusted her to find, and even called at the door.

It is also a skill for the Xue family to offend a Zhongshun king first, and then a Zhijun king.

There are two flowers blooming, one for each.

All the way in the city of Yangzhou is decorated with lanterns and festoons until the day of the Lantern Festival. It is said that it is the Lantern Festival, with thousands of trees and lanterns playing on the moon. Lin Ruhai also took his family to the streets to watch the lanterns.

The Lin family booked a private room in the hotel early, Lin Ruhai said, "Madam and Yu'er just watch here, there is a lantern riddle contest opposite, it's very interesting, last year it was Mr. Chen who won the ringleader, this year I don't know who it is."

The Lantern Riddles Conference was originally organized by wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou, and the arena was set up magnificently, complementing the lights.

He took Cheng Qingcheng downstairs to go to the Lantern Festival, and left Mingxuan and Daiyu upstairs to watch the scenery. Halfway there, Cheng Qingcheng asked in a low voice, "I heard that in the past years, the Liu and Li families in Yangzhou City were fighting for wealth. Calling contemporary Shi Chong Wang Kai, why is there only Liu's table this year?"

Lin Ruhai gave him a meaningful look, "The Li family has donated millions of military funds to the soldiers of the Northwest, how can they still have the energy to compete with the Liu family, but they are just saving money."

Both Liu and Li are salt merchants, but the Li family was originally a Shanxi merchant, and the Liu family was an Hui merchant. Lin Ruhai has been inspecting the salt censor for these years and found that it is now a transfer from Jin to Huijin. Shanxi merchants like to talk about economic careers. Huizhou merchants like to have fun.

The Anhui merchants headed by the Liu family became extravagant with the style of Yangzhou. As long as someone in the family worked in the salt merchant's house, the wages and rewards they got could support a large family.Lin Ruhai also told the emperor one by one in the secret book. The emperor was naturally unhappy. These salt merchants depended on him for food, and they turned out to be richer than him.

The Li family was originally supported by Lin Ruhai to govern the Liu family. Now that the emperor intends to start the Lianghuai salt class, he naturally wants to imply that the Li family surrenders.

Cheng Qingcheng is still a green onion, Lin Ruhai didn't want him to overwhelm the seedlings, so he just tapped it, and waited for him to dig deeper. He didn't want Second Master Cheng to hear that the Li family had donated millions of military funds, and said, "I don't want the salt merchants to be so rich. , Southern Guangdong is in danger, when my father was there, he was often worried about the bitter cold of the soldiers, and he hoped that someday these extravagant and heinous things would be copied and rewarded for the soldiers of my three armies."

Apprentice, can you not focus on fighting...

The old and cunning Mr. Lin felt that the Chinese New Year was coming, so don't make trouble for yourself.

Lin Daiyu and Mingxuan were sitting on the third floor, the windows were half closed, although they could see clearly, they couldn't see them clearly, but there was one thing that they couldn't hear clearly what was said in the arena.

A young servant listened under the arena, and then came back and told them to listen through the door. Every time a lantern riddle was reported, as long as it was related to poetry, Lin Daiyu could guess it immediately.

The little boy paused and said, "Miss is so talented, it's a pity that I have slow legs, otherwise all these prizes would have gone to me."

Ming Xuan said, "It's really hard for you to run back and forth tonight. There are no prizes, but there are two red envelopes."

There was a girl who opened the door and handed him two ingots of ten taels of ingots. The boy was so happy that he said a series of witty words.Mother Rong said, "I don't know if the Lin Mansion was a lark's nest in the past, how could everyone be able to talk like this."

Lin Daiyu said, "My family's surname is Lin, and when the forest grows, there are many larks."

This year's leader is still Mr. Chen, everyone praised him as a Wenqu star descending to earth, Mingxuan ordered some buns, "I only hope that you are like him, a Wenqu star."

Fireworks were set off again outside, fiery trees and silver flowers, extremely bright.

Lin Daiyu suddenly saw a girl in pink from the crowd, she felt very familiar, the girl seemed to have noticed something, looked up, and glanced at each other through the gap.

The person in pink is Miss Yishuang who is on leave today.

Yishuang was holding the corner of her skirt, looking at the city as bright as daylight, she really didn't like it, she didn't want to meet Lin Daiyu, she was about to wave hello, when a gray-robed scholar came up behind her, and dragged her to the other side of the street.

Yishuang said, "What are you pulling me for, I saw my fairy."

"Can your fairy recognize you now?" Mr. Yongdinghe said, "If you wave your hand, she won't think she met a little lunatic."

"Who do you say is a lunatic? Who?!" Yishuang stepped on Mr. Yongdinghe several times, "I'm going back to find the fairy to go home and ignore you."

"Well, if you change it back, you are only two inches tall. Even if Fairy Lin has good eyesight, she can't see a two-inch dwarf. There are so many people, and they stepped on them a few times before going to the restaurant."

Yishuang was so angry that he stepped on him again, "Who do you think stepped on several times?"

Mr. Yongdinghe pulled her to his side, whispered in his ear, "I, I was stepped on a few times, is it done?"

Yishuang still ignored him, and followed beside him angrily, suddenly Lord Yongdinghe let go of him, Yishuang thought in his heart, do you love loosening or not, this girl will go shopping by herself.

After walking a few steps, his eyes lit up, blocking a lotus lantern, Jun Yongdinghe said, "Everyone is carrying a lantern, so you can carry one too, but I didn't see any lotus flower seller."

Yishuang didn't know what was going on in her heart, she couldn't hold back anymore, she turned her head to look at Mr. Yongdinghe and laughed, the lights of the long street seemed to be reflected in his eyes, and there was a little self holding the lamp.

Lord Yongdinghe asked, "How long are you going to stay at the Lin family?"

Yishuang shook her head and said, "I have to wait until the girl is older, she is still a little girl, not to mention there is a debt collector now, although she is a little better than Jia Baoyu, she is only a little bit better."

"He won't bully Jiang Zhu."

"I don't believe it, there is no debt collector who won't bully people."

Mr. Yongdinghe pointed to himself, "Don't I know how to bully others?"

"Didn't you say you don't collect debts?!"

Mr. Yongdinghe smiled, "Life is forcing me, and my Yongding Shuifu is short of Mrs. Yazhai, so I have to say nothing."

Yishuang shook her hands, she couldn't throw the lotus lantern out, "Shouldn't Mrs. He be a fairy? I'm just a little flower demon."

"I didn't say I want you to agree with me."

"Well, I didn't say anything, you can find someone else." Little Furong turned her head and left,

Mr. Yongdinghe hurriedly chased after him, "I said, what I said is done."

"Didn't you say nothing?"

"I said it, please..." Mr. Yongdinghe's last three words were abruptly blocked by Little Furong, who pointed at Cheng Qingcheng, who was guessing lantern riddles ahead, and said angrily, "Look! The debt collector is with Father Lin Going to the Lantern Festival! What a nuisance."

Mr. Yongdinghe doesn't want to see it... He really regrets telling Yishuang about Cheng Qingcheng, but he can only say half of it, and he can only explain it slowly later.
