The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

Tang Chao sat at the end, listening to Daiyu's soft voice expressing that he didn't mind, Tanchun could only smile awkwardly and return to his seat.This is a bit different from what I thought. Shouldn't the sister of the Lin family express her concern and then send someone to express her condolences?How could he put it down with just a few words.

Tanchun has never been considered a very smart person.This is true in the original book, and it is even more true now.

In the original book, he doesn't like his own aunt, but only recognizes the Wang family's uncle as an uncle, and he is cold-hearted and cold-blooded.Even if he is sensitive and intelligent, his character is not shameful.

A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think his family is poor.Tanchun can dismiss her own mother, but who can really take her filial piety to others.

Anyway, if her children dislike her low status, she will definitely be sad.Although Aunt Zhao made a fuss in the original book, it was not out of place.But she can't deny her love for her daughter.

The character of Zhou Rui and his wife is not very good, but for the only daughter, it is also a heart and soul. When they get something from Zhuangzi, every time someone comes to the city, they have to bring it to their daughter.

Although Aunt Zhao's identity and personality are not satisfactory in everything, compared to Xichun who doesn't care about her father and loses her mother.Isn't it already 'perfect'?

It was only after becoming a mother that Tang Chao could understand what it was like.Anyway, in her opinion, marrying far away and getting married in her previous life may be considered a good ending for her.

In this life, even if she wanted to marry far away, she might not be able to.

But there are advantages, at least when Shi and Zhang are alive, girls from the Jia family will no longer be concubines.It's just that if you want to marry well, it depends on your personal qualifications and degree of favor.

Tanchun returned to his seat, feeling a little apprehensive.He glanced at Xing carefully.Then he looked at the others and felt that everyone's attention was not on her, so he let out a small breath.

How could she have forgotten? My aunt had told her that such things must be said behind people's backs.She should find a private time to say this to sister Lin's family when no one is around.

Looking up at Daiyu who got up to change clothes, Tanchun felt a little regretful.If I had known earlier, I should have followed at this time and revealed the things my aunt did.

Fortunately, Daiyu didn't know that the third cousin, whom she met for the first time, would not even let her go to the bathroom, er, change clothes.What would it be like to change clothes.

"Old lady, there have been many shops selling vegetable seedlings in the capital in the past two years. In previous winters, although the small vegetables grown by our family were not enough for our family to eat, we could still give away some. But this year it is It needs to be purchased separately." Mrs. Zhang frowned when she heard what Mrs. Shui said to herself.

She had been busy recently, but she forgot about this matter.But today's dinner had a few vegetarian dishes prepared for the Lin family's siblings. Seeing the green vegetables, Mrs. Zhang remembered this matter.

Speaking of New Year's gifts, those from outside the city are delivered early, while those in the capital are delivered relatively late.But usually it is sent by the owner, and after they receive it, they will send it to the west with additions and subtractions.Those from the west will be given to the east by adding provinces and provinces.

Since a few years ago, people in the family raised some side dishes in winter, and they would often be added to the annual gift list.Even being close is also new.

Although later every family planted some more or less.It doesn't hurt to walk Lilly.It's just that once there is a shop dedicated to selling this item, and it has value, it's not easy to put it in the gift list.

Now the family is big and the business is big, and the expenses are also one aspect.But the most important thing is that Mrs. Zhang feels that the current situation in the capital is unclear.A lighter gift is better than an expensive gift, and it is better to give people other ideas.

Although Zhang's concerns are not fully explained, Shi Shi, who is old and mature, still has something he doesn't understand.The eldest daughter-in-law's family has all died in the party struggle, and the Jia family must pay more attention to propriety.

"Every family is not bad for such a little New Year's gift to live, but it might as well just give some novelty and expensive things." Novelty and noble, these four words, the emphasis is still on 'clean and expensive'.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, as soon as Shi's words fell, Zhang understood.After saying yes with a smile, he turned his head and saw Daiyu turning back from behind, so he naturally pulled the topic aside.

No matter how small you are, you are still a guest.And when they first came, they talked about New Year's ceremony.Wouldn't it make people worry.After half a day of observation, Mrs. Zhang found that the little girl from her aunt's family was more delicate than the other one.

After changing clothes and returning, Daiyu didn't notice any changes in the room.The younger ones didn't quite understand, and the older ones didn't take it seriously.It was so natural to talk about going elsewhere.

In consideration of the exhaustion of the two siblings, they all went back to their room to rest soon after the meal.

Tang Chao tidied up Baoyu's things properly, only to hear the news that Baoyu and Jia Zhi separated at the door of their respective rooms.

Now the boys are all grown up and don't live together.Although there is a room for each person, fortunately they are all next to each other.It is also convenient to come and go. After the end of winter, when spring comes, move to the front yard, and Baoyu and Jiazhi will divide the yard.

After washing up, Baoyu sat on the head of the bed with Mrs. Tang in his arms, staring straight at the big screen in front of him, where he wrote a passage of the Four Books in flowing lines.

Since his enlightenment, there have been many such things in his house, such as the bed curtain, and the paper outside the window is full of words written or embroidered.It looks like a flower, but there is no trace of the embroidery pattern.

For this reason, all the girls in his house can write a lot of words.He has heard the nanny say that this is the influence of the environment.It's easier to memorize it than those memorizing it by rote.

For such a situation, Tang Chao himself was still somewhat dissatisfied.Originally, she wanted to emulate that day.Towards some kind of slogan in a special decade.

Let all the servants who serve Baoyu have a few copies of the Four Books and Five Classics or the Book of Songs and Mingjing, and imitate certain quotations.Before meeting and talking, come to the last sentence.

It's a pity that these things are too convoluted, and no girl, big or small, can recite them.

Well, including her, I can't recite all of them.

Therefore, due to these various reasons, this proposal of the Tang Dynasty was stillborn.

Baoyu should also be lucky, otherwise he wouldn't know what's going on in his room.

Although these are not things he is willing to learn.

"It's late at night, brother, rest your eyes, there are many books you can't read during the day." Tang Chao asked Keren, who came up two years ago, to pour Baoyu a glass of warm water, and persuaded him gently.

The light at night in ancient times was generally not very good. Many people would habitually squint their eyes as they got older.If you get older, the words on the books can't be read clearly.

Baoyu just smiled when he took the water. "That's not something Mammy would say."

"Why doesn't it look like it?"

"Second master doesn't study, what will he do in the future?" Baoyu made a serious face, imitating Tang Chao's expression and repeating Tang Chao's advice to him.Tang Chao shook his head and laughed.

Tang Chao saw that Baoyu had something on his mind today, so he sent Keren to rest.After all the maids had gone out, Tang Chao sat on Baoyu's bedside and asked Baoyu gently what was going on today.

Baoyu thought for a while, and said bluntly, "Nurse, where did I see Sister Lin who came here today?"

Tang Chao: "...Miss Lin grew up in the south. This is the first time she has entered the capital." Have you seen it?In your previous life, a plant of grass that grew by the river made you water and flood it.In this life, I have to use a lifetime of tears to return the water you have watered and return it to you according to the amount.

It was also bad luck.

"Oh, I always feel very kind, like reunion after a long absence. It seems that I have been waiting for a long time." Baoyu tilted her head, not knowing how to describe the feeling in her heart when she saw Sister Lin.

"Brother, do you still remember the appearance of the eldest girl?"

Baoyu nodded. Although he was still young when the eldest sister left, he still had some impressions of her appearance.Especially after he started to learn painting in the past two years, he drew several pictures according to the appearance of his eldest sister in memory.

"If Miss Lin were a little fatter, she would look a little like the older girl in terms of eyebrows and eyes. However, Miss Lin looks more like Aunt Min. After careful calculation, she has a three-point resemblance to the old lady. The whole family has broken bones. It’s connected. There’s always something alike here and there.”

Baoyu acted as if suddenly realized, he said, it turned out to be like this, no wonder no matter how you look at Sister Lin, there is a feeling of deja vu.

"Will Uncle Lin marry another wife? Like the master marrying his wife."

"I don't know. Why do you ask me that?" Although Tang Chao thinks this possibility is unlikely, after all, in the original book, when Lin Ruhai had no son, he didn't even think about marrying another wife. Now that he has a son, he probably won't. up.But this kind of thing is not something she can open her mouth to say.

When you are a servant, you can't open your mouth to criticize the master.As a female family member of an official family, you can't casually talk about other men's private affairs.

"...I'm afraid that sister Lin will be sent to the palace by his wife like elder sister."

"...", Tang Chao couldn't continue talking about Baoyu's spiritual thinking.

"Mommy, I miss my eldest sister. I don't want the new sister Lin to be sent to the palace like my eldest sister. You said that if I study hard, I will have a way to get fame in the future, and then I will help the sisters at home Let them live the life they want. What about Sister Lin? Can I support her?"

Tang Chao shook his head, "Doesn't Miss Lin have a younger brother? You are a cousin, so you can't be Miss Lin's boss. But if Baoyu has the heart, he can teach Brother Xing a good lesson. Brother Xing is promising, and he will You can support Miss Lin. At that time, Miss Lin doesn't want to go to the palace, so she just needs to say, what are you afraid of."

"Can't old ladies and wives protect sister Lin?" Baoyu thought of Lin Sheng being younger than him, so he thought of Shi Shi and Zhang Shi.

Tang Chao knew that the wife in Baoyu's words was not the Xing family but the Zhang family.But Tang Chao thought for a while and shook his head, "The old lady is getting older, and the wife is also getting older. At the beginning, the old lady couldn't even protect the eldest daughter, the granddaughter of a direct relative. These years have passed, and the old lady is older than At that time, it was even bigger, how to protect the girl of the Lin family, the granddaughter of the Jia family.

It is better to count on yourself than to count on old ladies and wives.Baoyu, the nanny knows that you are a child who doesn't like reading.The nanny's request to you is not to hope that one day, you will be granted the title of prime minister.The nanny just wants you to have the ability to protect yourself. "

"The nanny said it, and Baoyu remembered it. But Baoyu didn't know what the ability to protect herself was."

"At least you must have a reputation for raising people. With the fame of raising people, you don't need to pay taxes on your family's land, and you don't have to be afraid of being bullied by government bullies. You must know that you don't have to kneel when you see an official. Baoyu hopes that when he sees an official, he will go down." See you on your knees?"

When Baoyu heard this, he shook his head quickly.He doesn't want it.

"That's it. So at least it's Juren. Right?"

Baoyu nodded, and Tang Chao continued talking. "There are several brothers in the family, and almost all of them will be admitted to Jinshi in the future. If you are just a juren, you will be at the bottom of the list of brothers and nephews. At that time, think about the master, he is a master of face." After finishing speaking He also looked at Baoyu's legs meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Baoyu, who was still a little interested, suddenly became a little bored.My master, he has a horizontal nose and straight eyes to himself.If it wasn't for the protection of the old lady and the eldest aunt these few years, I still don't know how to deal with him.

I used to listen to what the nanny and the others said when they chatted. If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.Now it seems that this is really true.That brat Huan is obviously inferior to him in everything, and his master also said that he is tired, so he is not as good as kid Huan.

"Hey, Baoyu doesn't need to think too much, there is no permanent banquet in the world. In the future, Baoyu will have her own family, and we don't want aunts, let alone concubines. The hardships and sins that Baoyu suffered when she was a child will never happen again. OK?"

"Well, nanny. Baoyu will definitely not be like the master."

"Okay, nanny believes you. Let's continue." Whenever the child is in a bad mood, he will call his nanny.

"Please tell me, nanny." Baoyu looked at his nanny with bright eyes, she was the closest person to him.

"Baoyu said before that he doesn't like being an official. Since we don't like it, we shouldn't be. Anyway, after being admitted to Jinshi, not every Jinshi can be sent to an official position. But the nanny thinks the Imperial Academy is good. I heard that the world is 80.00 There are all kinds of books there. If you read books and write every day, you can also get a salary. It’s a good choice.”

"Is the Imperial Academy really that good?" Baoyu, who was over seven years old, didn't quite understand these things.

"Nurse doesn't know either, I heard people say it. I heard that it is very difficult to enter the Imperial Academy. How about the details? If you have time tomorrow, if Baoyu has time, you might as well ask Uncle Hu and Uncle Zhu."

"Oh, nanny, Baoyu likes to draw."

"Painting is also very good. We have been admitted to Jinshi. Even if we don't go to be an official, it is a very elegant thing to be a painter. And painting is very practical. The nanny is not good at painting, but she paints for Baoyu every year. The last two paintings record the growth of Baoyu in every period of time. If Baoyu can paint well in the future, he will paint more figure paintings, and then landscape paintings throughout the year. No matter how time goes by, he will never forget it in the future, will he? ?”

With Baoyu's character, Tang Chao really didn't expect him to be an official in the future.If you want him to be an official, the next Zhang family will be Baoyu's home.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a literate scholar?The social status is not low.There is the craft of living again.

And it fits Baoyu's personality and hobbies very well.

After the pseudo-mothers made a systematic plan for their future life, Tang Chao coaxed Baoyu to sleep.Baoyu, who was asleep, didn't see her nurse, who was still relaxed just now, with a thoughtful look on her face.

I don't know how Yuanchun is doing now, and whether she will be a concubine in the future.It is said that Yuanchun became a concubine because of reporting on Qin Keqing's identity.

Living up to now, Tang Chao knows that this is absolutely impossible.Qin Keqing's identity is well known to anyone with a bit of ears in the capital.

How could it be possible to concubine for this.But I have to say that Yuan Chun's concubine Feng and Qin Keqing and Lin Ruhai died at very similar times.If it was really just a coincidence, Tang Chao himself would not believe it.

But this time, will Qin Keqing really die as in the original book?

Tang Chao couldn't figure out why a good love drama about children's affection became so strange.

In the early morning of the second day, Yingchun's eldest girl stayed at Daiyu's place all the time. Yingchun received an order from her own wife to take Sister Lin and Fourth Sister to activities together from today onwards.

At this time in the Rongguo Mansion, if it is about who has the most noble status among the girls, one is Xichun, the daughter of the former patriarch, the sister of the current patriarch, and the eldest daughter of the first wife.The second is Yingchun from the big house of Rongguo Mansion, and the second is Miss Lin Jiabiao, the daughter of the inspector who inspects salt and censor.

As for Tanchun?The separated family, the second room, was born by the aunt, and was raised under the stepmother's knee.Of course she is also honorable, after all, she is the only girl from a concubine in the entire Rongguo Mansion, uh, of this generation.

One morning, after the three sisters had cleaned up, they went to Shi's main room hand in hand, where they first met Mrs. Zhang, and then a few grandmas. After greetings, they all waited aside, waiting for others Brother and Shi said that the inner room came out.

Daiyu originally wanted to go to her brother's place to have a look, but she was afraid to go, making people feel uneasy, untrustworthy or something, so it was not good.So, while talking to the two cousins, I turned my head to look at the Bisha cabinet from time to time.

The author has something to say: Dear: "The peach blossoms are shining brightly. This is the washing water of the second master Bao."

Charming: "The beauty of peaches is true. This is the breakfast of Master Bao."

Qingwen: "Tao Zhiyaoyao, it's Ye Zhenzhen. These are the clothes of Second Master Bao today."

Baoyu: "Bring them here."

Lovely, charming, Qingwen: "Second Master Bao, please correct the slogan."

Baoyu: "..." Doing this every day is also a person's job? .
