[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

When the Lin family's chariots and horses arrived at the city gate of Fuzhou, Sun Bingzhi, the magistrate of Fuzhou, had already been waiting at the city gate for a long time. Lin Ruhai led Cheng Qingcheng to greet him. Sun Zhifu knew that Lin Ruhai's youngest son was still in his infancy, so he couldn't help asking, "Who is this young master?"

"It's just the second brother of Marquis Huan of Qi, who reads a few books with me on weekdays." Lin Ruhai said.

Sun Zhifu smiled and said, "Second Young Master Cheng is really a good-looking talent."

He said it as if he had heard someone praise Cheng Qingcheng before, with a very sincere expression.

Cheng Qingcheng clasped his hands and said, "This junior has met Sun Zhifu."

Sun Zhifu hurriedly said that he did not dare, and then said to Lin Ruhai, "The place is remote, I am afraid of neglecting the governor. It is getting late today, please rest early, and the next official will hold a banquet in the humble house tomorrow to clean up the dust for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Sun." Lin Ruhai nodded, and his subordinates led the Lin family to the Governor's Mansion of Fujian and Zhejiang.

When the carriages and horses entered Fuzhou City, Lin Daiyu carefully looked out from the gap in the curtain, and saw banyan trees planted all over the city, with green shade everywhere, secretly thinking that there was a banyan city.

The Lin family sent a steward to tidy up the house first, so as not to have nowhere to live in time.It's just that it's still not as comfortable as at home, and without the command of the mistress, it's only a little bit of a place to stay.

Mingxuan handed the little bun to Lin Daiyu to hold her. After busying herself, she gave a lot of instructions. Then she turned her head and saw her two siblings, and wondered, "Why are you two still here?"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "My wife came into the room and told us to sit down and not run around. I will forget about it in a while."

Mingxuan raised her forehead, "You put the little bun in the nanny's arms, and picked a yard to the south for you. You go to the house and have a look. They have already ordered them to change the tents and bedding, and you have to make up your own mind about the furnishings."

The Governor's Mansion is different from the official censor's house in Yangzhou, with gray walls and blue tiles, simple and elegant.Lin Daiyu's yard is very big, there are three entrances, all paved with bluestone slabs, Lin Daiyu carefully lifts the hem of her skirt, and walks through the yard, very happy.

Here, like Gusu, has the unique humidity of a water town and the atmosphere of the coast.

It turned out that not all the thick servants of the Lin family brought them here, and bought another batch locally. At this time, seeing Lin Daiyu enter the yard, Yimei, who is temporarily in charge of the yard these days, came up to bless her in a hurry, with a unique local accent, "Miss, go into the room and have a look. If you are not satisfied, we will change it."

I'm used to fluent Beijing movies, and it's very interesting to listen to at first.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's smile, Yishuang was a little dazed, and even more delighted. The little girl who would wake up crying at night was gone. Although she was still very elegant and fond of writing, she was always the first to see those people when things happened. I am happy, and there is no sorrow of crying in the wind.

The fairy has grown up.

A group of girls chattered around Yimei asking questions, and the two nuns also kindly let them be unrestrained once in a while.Chun Yu, who was beside Mingxuan, took her mother-in-law to carry two boxes over, and coughed twice with a straight face.

The maids called Sister Chunyu, and they all dispersed. Lin Daiyu asked, "What did you send here?"

"Missy's two boxes of books are mixed with the master's. My wife is afraid that you will be bored without books. Hurry up and let us deliver them first." Chun Yu said, "Yimei is a local, and the girls here will come out of big families. If you don’t sell yourself as a servant, you can work as a part-time job.”

"Go out to work like a man?" Lin Daiyu was surprised, and then asked Yimei, "How old are you?"

"I'm fifteen. There are fisher girls in the seaside. They weave nets and catch fish better than men. Girls from Fujian and Zhejiang do a lot of work."

Lin Daiyu has seen all the workers in her life, except for the mother-in-law and the girl bought by the family, "I am ignorant."

Yimei then told her about the local conditions and customs of Fuzhou. Women here can block half of the sky. It is not like the strict etiquette and education in Jiangnan in the capital.

Everyone listened with gusto, and forgot to tidy up the house. When Ming Xuan came over, the house was clean and tidy, but it was too clean. The desks were empty, and there was nothing on the huge shelf.

Ming Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you planning to become a fairy?"

Lin Daiyu stuck out her tongue, Xueyan hurriedly opened the box, first put the gold-painted mirror box on the dressing table, turned it over to find the front Western mercury mirror, and then several jewelry boxes, Lin Daiyu likes to separate jewelry of every material Keep it.

This playing is obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially popular among immortals.

The clothes are arranged according to the color and texture, the pen holder and inkstone are placed on the desk, and finally the box is opened to get the antiques.Yimei was born as a commoner, she had never seen such a battle before, she stood aside with her hands folded, a little at a loss.

Yishuang pushed her and handed a white jade beauty bottle to her hand, "it's on the second floor above, we can't even reach it."

Yimei responded immediately, and put the bottle on it respectfully, her gestures were similar to those of burning incense and praying for blessings in a temple.

Seeing that they were busy, Mingxuan winked at Lin Daiyu, and the two of them went to the courtyard to talk, Mingxuan said, "A lot of people are new here, ask Xueyan and the others to pay attention, if you lose something, you will be fine." Forget it, you are most afraid of ruining your reputation, and you are not young."

Lin Daiyu gave her an angry look, "Let's pay it back, let's not talk about it later."

"I'm getting older and my temper is getting better, how dare your wife and I speak against me?" Ming Xuan pinched her nose, "There should have been four first-class girls and four second-class girls, but now they are in Fuzhou City It's hard to find, we have to go back, and it's not good to take people away from home. I thought this Yimei was very good, but it's a pity that she is only willing to work in our house and refuses to sign a death contract. She can only give it to you Put it in the yard to be a rough envoy."

Lin Daiyu said, "It's fine if she refuses, why bother asking her to sell herself. I heard that the girls here are very ambitious, and they are as good as men."

Ming Xuan smiled and said, "There are not many girls in such a poor family in Beijing who can support a family, but they are no better than Yimei who can talk to you."

Lin Daiyu thought for a moment and then said, "I'm so ignorant today, I've been a frog in a well twice."

Then put aside this subject.

Cangyan Alley is green and old, and Bailu Garden is sweet with purple cane.Department stores enter the market along with the tide boats, and Wanjiagu and restaurants hang down their curtains.

Governor Lin was busy taking over official duties, Cheng Chengcheng hadn't arrived late after departure, Cheng Qingcheng was in a no-care zone, but just like in Yangzhou, he was still not interested in the son who came to please him and treat him politely, he liked to bring a servant around the city wandering around.

The city of Fuzhou has been prosperous since the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties. The waterways in the city are well developed, and the bridge around the moat is dazzling. Cheng Qingcheng was born in the capital, and Yangzhou has only been out of control for two years, so I think it is quite new.

When I got back, I still felt sorry for Governor Lin, "Sure enough, the sage said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is really not deceiving me."

Governor Lin took care of him once in his busy schedule, and asked, "What did Qingcheng see in Fuzhou City?"

He originally thought that his apprentice would be enlightened by some gossip related to government affairs, but he didn't want Cheng Qingcheng to open his mouth and said, "Three mountains stand upright, one river flows around, and the scenery is beautiful. It's a pity that now it is no longer the name of Zou Lu, who was on the beach."

In the first half of the sentence, Governor Lin wanted to slap him, but in the second half, Governor Lin comforted himself that he could still guide him, so he asked, "Do you know why?"

"Fuzhou Autonomous City experienced frequent ups and downs. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a large moat was dug on the south, east, and west sides. This is called the Three Mountains. In the Song Dynasty, Zhang Boyu edited and planted banyan trees, which added to the reputation of Banyan City. The former Ming Sanbao eunuch went to the West..." Cheng Qingcheng talked eloquently and dropped his book bag.

Lin Ruhai only felt a headache. If he wants to hear this, he might as well listen to Lin Daiyu's recitation, which is much better than this brat's recitation.After finally finishing the history of Fuzhou, Cheng Qingcheng got to the point, "I overheard someone saying in the east of the city that if you sell things at sea, you can earn double the profit. , it can be sold at sea for twelve taels.”

Cheng Qingcheng felt that he had made a good analogy, but the teacups Lin Ruhai used were authentic Northern Song Ru kilns, and there was no shortage of one in the whole set...five taels...hehe...

So Governor Lin couldn't bear it anymore and chased away people, "I see, I got it, have you done your homework today?"

"It's done."

"What about tomorrow's homework?"

"It's still today."

So Governor Lin also assigned the homework for the day after tomorrow.

The nuns also had a headache. Lin Daiyu seemed to be untied when she arrived in Fuzhou City. The little girls even tied her a swing frame. Although it was not strong, it fell down before shaking.

Qiu Nanny felt that she was used to being vicious, and she was afraid of scaring Lin Daiyu, so she said to Chen Nanny, "Girls have good manners, and we can understand how easy it is sometimes. But old sister, it's okay if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall." It doesn't matter, if it hits or falls, how can we explain to the old lady."

Nanny Chen sighed, "Let me tell you, it's not like you don't know about your wife's temper, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

The nuns are so cultured.

Lin Daiyu was like a child who did something wrong, peeking out the window to clean up the wreckage of the swing, and the girls who got into trouble stood upright outside the door one by one, and Yimei complained to Xueyan in a low voice, "I just said you are weak , can’t hold it, you still don’t believe it.”

Seeing Nanny Chen approaching, she hurriedly shut her mouth and dared not speak.

Inside, Lin Daiyu was also surprised when she saw Nanny Chen, and said with a cheeky smile, "Don't bother them, Nanny, it's all my fault."

"Since the girl knows that she is not good, how can she know what is not good?" Chen Momo said kindly.

"You shouldn't be fooling around asking for a swing." Lin Daiyu lowered her head and said.

Nanny Chen sighed, "If you want the swing to not mess around, you can just find a craftsman or a mother-in-law to make it. All the delicate girls in this room are fortunately not hurt. Otherwise, is there a mess around the girl?"

"……Yes"

"Let's talk about this in private, the master and wife dote on the girl, even I look at it with envy, but the girl is not young anymore, it's time to talk about kissing, the daughter-in-law of ten years has turned into a mother-in-law..."

Nanny Chen was about to talk about the difficulties of the new daughter-in-law at the gate of the mansion, but she didn't want Mingxuan to come over just in time after hearing about the swing, and said with a smile, "Mother Chen, don't blame me for stealing the teacher, I didn't mean to hear it."

"Madam, I'm also doing it for the sake of the girl."

"I know, let's talk outside." Mingxuan stood outside the door and said, staring at Daiyu again, "Daiyu, reflect on it for me."

Lin Daiyu winked at her to show her understanding.

Ming Xuan simply invited Nanny Chen and Nanny Qiu to drink tea in her room, and said at the beginning, "Mommy is for Daiyu's sake, I know very well how many people come here like this. If they didn't have the time to cultivate their qi, , I will not have today's peaceful days."

She is more difficult than Daiyu, being a concubine of the royal family, there is a difference of one letter, a world of difference, she is a person who can control her own life, she has failed to get married twice, she has tried many gossips, and she has tried it on her own.

Qiu Nanny said, "Girl is twelve years old, it's time to talk about marriage, how can I play around like this all day long?"

Ming Xuan laughed and said, "Nurse is blaming her wrongly. Apart from playing around and reading, she is not bad as a housekeeper. Sometimes I explain things to you and they do a good job."

"Can……"

"Master and I love her dearly, and don't want her to marry into a harsh family and be tortured by her mother-in-law. Mammy, don't worry, she has her own measure."

Nanny Chen originally thought that the Lin family wanted to send Lin Daiyu to the palace, and Fang Tuozhi County Prince's Mansion invited them with a lot of money, but Mingxuan's words had no such meaning, so she hurriedly asked, "Madam doesn't want the girl to go."

She gestured with her fingers upwards, Ming Xuan understood, shook her head and said, "Mama misunderstood, the family didn't mean it that way. Besides, since I am her stepmother, she is the niece of Zhijun Prince's Mansion, so it's not a mess of generations."

Lin Daiyu came from a noble family, with outstanding talent and looks. If she enters the palace, she will definitely be the lord of the palace. But the Lin family and his wife didn't want to, so they blocked it with the Zhijun palace.Xiu Nu has the teaching method of Xiu Nu, and the Zong Daughter has the teaching method of Zong Daughter. The two nuns both said that they made a mistake and knew what to do next.
