[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

Without the Li family fighting for wealth with them, the Liu family stood out in the city of Yangzhou. Because they took the lead, decorations such as chiming bells and ivory became popular in the city.

There were also salt merchants who gave presents to Lin's family, but Mingxuan took them away according to the old practice, and she didn't like the chiming clock very much, so she told Lin Daiyu privately, "Although this chiming bell is rare, but it's a careless person to give it to the end."

Lin Daiyu was very thoughtful, frowned and said, "Don't be afraid of innocence, the worst thing is to pretend to be inconsiderate. Speaking of which, this chime clock is so rare and precious, who would think about sending it to the final destination. But I don't know, which one sent it. It doesn't matter if you want it or not. "

"I need someone to check it out." Ming Xuan nodded, and said with a sudden smile, "It's just that these things are selling well, so I'm sure."

Lin Daiyu was puzzled, "Madam, don't you want to do business?"

Mingxuan said, "I have an uncle who has been doing business along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi. He has a big boat and made a way out of it. Now that he feels old, he wants to entrust all the sea affairs to a few cousins ​​and take the boat with him. The artisans found there went to Yangzhou to make some improvements to imported products."

"Westerners over the sea?" Lin Daiyu asked.

"It's not just the westerns we're talking about. My son received a letter from my second elder brother saying that he saved a family from the Yasha Kingdom. The mistress gave birth to a Yasha, with white teeth and hands like claws. The son and daughter are really beautiful. Same as us."

"It sounds scarier than that Westerner with yellow hair and blue eyes."

In just two or three days, Lin Daiyu put away her uncle's things. In the top box was a double gold pocket watch, which was different from Lin Daiyu's previous ones. The case was made of cloisonné enamel and painted with western flowers. The texture, the middle is a circular hollow, revealing the face of the Western woman inside, and another layer is opened, which is the dial for telling the time.

Lin Daiyu had also seen some Western paintings, and said with a smile, "Their painting methods are different from our Haosheng's. The girls in the paintings are plump and rosy. We mostly draw freehand, and the colors are not so realistic."

Presumably they were all specially prepared for Daiyu. Apart from the pocket watch, there were ivory ornaments, bracelets and necklaces inlaid with gemstones, and a pair of glass palace lanterns with landscape paintings.

Pian Mingxuan ordered Lin Daiyu to make several foreign crepe skirts. When Lin Daiyu tried them on, she smiled and said, "It's obviously loose flower silk. Because foreign goods are expensive now, we called foreign crepe cloth."

Ming Xuan said with a smile, "It's just following the trend. Scattered flower silk or brocade, you have to use foreign characters. Seeing this, I'm getting worried. Don't let your uncle's half-earth and half-foreign stuff be rejected, He is known as Yueguang Tao Zhugong, if he comes to the south and loses, he will die."

Lin Daiyu said, "I think it's very good. It's novel and elegant. If we all imitate the golden brilliance of foreigners, what will happen?"

The next time she went back to Sun's house for a meeting, Lin Daiyu would exchange for these new ones.Sun Yunyun just saw it and said, "You still say that Sister Lin doesn't like to dress up. She never dresses better than us."

Zhao Li smiled and said, "How much does she overwhelm us with her appearance alone? How can she care about dressing up or not?"

Lin Daiyu wore a lake-green crepe skirt with embroidered lotus pavilions and fields of lotus leaves, and the extremely thin folds were like the ripples of the wind passing over the water, a vivid painting.

When she was ready to sit down, Zhao Ying pointed to the hair ornament on her head and said, "It's so cute, which one is Sister Lin calling from?"

Sun Yunyun called her close friends today, except for Daiyu and the Zhao sisters, only Qin Qiu who fell in love with the desert rumor that day, when Zhao Li called out, they all gathered around to look, Qin Qiu stretched out his hand and nodded, Lin Daiyu The red gold inlaid butterfly in her hair trembled.

The wings of another golden dragonfly with silk thread are coiled with hair-thick gold wire, just like the real dragonfly, and can shine through.

Seeing Qin Qiu go to order the dragonfly wings again, Zhao Li couldn't help laughing, and asked Daiyu, "It wouldn't be surprising if they brought me along, why do you like it so much?"

"You make me look like an old pedant."

"If you are an old pedant, you should use another lotus flower."

The little lotus showed its sharp horns, and dragonflies had long been standing on their heads.

Lin Daiyu pinched her nose, "You are the old pedant."

As the breeze blew by, the butterfly in her hair remained motionless, while the dragonfly flapped its wings straight, ready to fly at once, moving still and moving, which matched perfectly.

The sisters were chatting and joking, and a person came swaying over. She was quite beautiful, with jasper and luxurious hair, and an emerald crepe floral skirt was tied on her head. Before she walked in front of her, she heard her laughter, "It turns out that sister Yun has guests here, but it's just a coincidence that I came here."

"Why is big sister here?" Sun Yunyun got up to give her her seat, and introduced Daiyu a few times, "This is my big sister, Sun Zhen."

"Grandmother said that my sister was enjoying the flowers in the backyard. Let me talk to you so that you won't be lonely." Sun Zhen glanced at everyone present, and finally landed on Lin Daiyu, looked her clothes up and down, and said with a smile, " My sister didn’t even introduce me, which family’s lady is this?”

Lin Daiyu and the others could see that Sun Yunyun was displeased, so she held back and said, "This is Sister Lin, Sister Zhao, Sister Zhao, and the other is Sister Qin."

"Ah, your sisters and sisters have confused me." Sun Zhen stretched out her hand to grab Lin Daiyu's hand, "Sister Lin is the daughter of Mr. Lin, the inspector of salt and censor Lin, how is Mr. Huaishu County? I really hit it off with my sister, such a coincidence, I wore this pleated skirt the first time we met."

Lin Daiyu nodded with a slight smile, Qin Qiu and Zhao Li looked at each other with subtle expressions, Zhao Ying opened her mouth to speak, but was pinched back by her sister.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't come back, Sun Zhen wanted to say something, Sun Yunyun said, "Grandmother can't leave sister for a while, sister go back and serve grandma."

"Anyway, in Sister Yun's eyes, I'm just there to serve people?" Sun Zhen forced a smile, "Since my sister doesn't like me getting close to your friends, I will leave first."

Sun Yunyun sneered and said, "Big sister serves grandma with filial piety, and she is a little different from those girls who serve others. Girls are different from girls. Even first-class girls are not as caring as sister. Big sister don't need to belittle herself."

Sun Zhen covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and a smile rose from the corners of her brows and eyes, "Yuanyuan doesn't know that in this world, for example, a girl who plays a storyteller with a child doesn't have to feel inferior, maybe one day people will abandon that golden jade Your noble concubine, you want to be married to a noble family."

Others didn't know the inside story, but Lin Daiyu knew that there was a change in Sun Yunyun's marriage, and seeing Sun Zhen's arrogant appearance, she chuckled, "I don't know where Miss Sun read the script, it's quite interesting."

Sun Zhen smiled and said, "Sister Lin also finds it interesting? Very good, very good."

Lin Daiyu said, "That's right, I just heard a story about slandering Zhongliang, and we all panicked. Now seeing a tortoise who doesn't eat swan meat can be regarded as some comfort."

Zhao Li continued, "What are you talking about? You're a clumsy, clumsy tongue, and you're all green and wrinkled."

Sun Zhen's face turned green, and she gestured to touch the jasper ring on her waist, "I still have to serve my grandmother for a nap, so I won't accompany you distinguished guests."

Sun Yunyun instructed the left and right, "It's good to serve the eldest lady and go back to serve the old lady."

Before Sun Zhen could go far, Zhao Ying and Qin Qiu covered their mouths and laughed. Qin Qiu pointed to Zhao Li and said, "How can you lose to Daiyu with your mouth? Look, her face is green."

Zhao Li put her arms around Sun Yunyun and said, "I know why your mother didn't take her out. The pleated skirts are all out. When I see the ladies from various families, ah, what a coincidence, we all wear the same pleated skirts." Skirt. The whole family has lost their face, and I am also wondering, Yunjin is every inch of gold, and now I have to add a foreign word to sell it outside?"

"It's a long story..." Sun Yunyun leaned on Zhao Li, "The key is the old lady... Forget it, the old lady probably rewarded her. The old lady still doesn't know the difference, don't tell me her."

The son doesn't say anything about the father's faults, so it's hard for Yuanyuan to say it.Mr. Sun was born as a Jinshi, and he was assigned to Yangzhou with the support of the old Taishan. It is considered developed. The old lady at home doesn’t think so. Her son is a treasure. The old lady thinks that her son is too promising. The poor scholar became an official. It's your good fortune to come here. I see my niece from my natal family is very good at giving birth, let's marry her and let her flourish.

Mrs. Sun endured it for the first time, but in the end she had nothing to do with the main room, so Auntie got out Sun Zhen first.If Mrs. Sun's natal family can't reach her in the capital, she can bear it no longer. From now on, she will endure the visits from her aunt and mother, and she will treat her as your elder sister and the old lady as your niece.

But her younger brother is under Qihou's command, and Qihou's hometown is in Gusu, which is quite close to Yangzhou. Who can bully Qihou's family?Mrs. Qihou also educated her two sons, "When a daughter gets married, the most important thing is to be backed by her mother's family. If something like this happens, her mother's family doesn't care. In the future, this daughter should not marry, and she will be bullied to death."

At that time Cheng Qingcheng was still young, what they thought was that they could have a younger sister, but they never thought about it, they didn't.All this education has paid off.

Old Marquis Qi was completely bullying, so he went to the old house in Gusu to guard three housekeepers first, and beat Mr. Sun with his head.

The old lady was so distressed that she cried and said that she was sorry for Mrs. Sun, a noble daughter-in-law, and she was going to divorce her.Mrs. Sun was dying on the bed, "It's my mother who is ignorant, Madam, don't take it to heart, I'm just forced by my mother's order."

Forcing a daughter, huh, huh.Mrs. Sun hadn't expressed her opinion yet, and the aunt puffed out her stomach, followed by her parents and howled with the old lady, "Eldest nephew, what's wrong with you, old lady, you have to let your eldest niece decide ah!"

Mrs. Sun got a headache when she heard that, and turned her head to leave. Aunt and mother came up and hugged her thigh, "Her eldest sister, you are so cruel."

In order not to feel like living in the village anymore, Mrs. Sun packed up all the people and threw them back to the countryside. The old lady was sent to a remote hospital to take care of her. The eldest niece and daughter should take good care of the old lady.

In the end, she didn't live in peace for a few years. When Sun Zhen grew up, the old lady began to teach Sun Zhen to be a demon again.
