The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

The three sisters followed Yuanyang to the old lady's main hall.As soon as I got there, the chef happened to bring Yikehua snacks.

Daiyu tasted two of them, and they tasted good.Although not as refined as those in the south, it also has a special flavor.I don't know if my brother has eaten it.

"In our family, girls should be rich, and boys should be poor. When my sister wants to eat delicate snacks like this, she will ask the kitchen staff to make them. Even if she doesn't want to eat snacks, she can just order They do it. Brothers and nephews, there is no such treatment. One person only has two plates of snacks a day, and they have to divide the morning and afternoon. There is no such thing as ordering food."

Yingchun was careful, so she could see Daiyu's small eyes while she was eating snacks, looking outside the door and in the direction of the Bisha cabinet.So he swallowed the snack in his mouth and explained in a low voice.

Daiyu tilted, a little puzzled. "Hey, why is that?" Whose family valued boys more, but why did they transfer all of them when they arrived at the grandfather's house.

The descendants of their Lin family were weak, and although they were carefully raised with their younger brother at home, no one in the family valued his younger brother more.After all, it is the root of a family.

"As far as I can remember, this is how the government behaves. Brother Hu is like this, um, it's the same with Brother Bao and Brother Zhi. The former sister-in-law Hu sent someone to send a gift to Brother Bao and the others. Dim sum, my wife knows about it, and said that my sister-in-law is too fond of children, so there will be no next time." Speaking of this, Yingchun smiled, "However, my eldest sister and I often order some dim sum for our brothers. My wife said that we That's brotherhood."

After hearing Yingchun's words, Daiyu still didn't understand why she did this.But thinking that the rules of each family are different, she also silently remembered this matter in her heart.

On the first day when she first arrived, Nanny Li basically talked about some of the rules and taboos in the mansion and her personal preferences.Listening to Yingchun's words at this time, I feel that her encyclopedia of Jia's life is more comprehensive.

Seeing that no one else was paying attention to their words, Yingchun lowered her head again and said in a low voice: "Our wife said that most of the children from rich and noble families are not motivated. , will lose vigor. And for a girl’s house, if the food and clothing are finer, it can improve the temperament very well. It will be very beneficial to the future.”

"What are you little sisters whispering about?" Shi looked sideways at Yingchun and Daiyu talking in a low voice, and asked them both with a smile.

"Back to the old lady, we didn't say anything, but it's a pity that sister Lin can't eat such a good snack."

Glancing at Mrs. Zhang at the side, Mrs. Shi shook her head and said with a smile, "This is still the rule set by your aunt. If you feel sorry for your brother, go and ask your aunt to forgive me. The old lady will not care."

Although he feels sorry for his children and grandchildren, Shi Shiyi still understands.Not to mention anything else, just say that the children and grandchildren brought up according to Zhang's words are indeed superior to those of other families.

Going out now, who doesn't boast that their children are well-raised and promising.In the past, Shi Shi was not very willing to go out to attend a flower party and tea party.Now people are old, although they don't want to move.But every time he went out, he would never get tired of listening to other people's constant praise of the future of his children and grandchildren, no matter how many times he listened to it.

This daughter-in-law is well married.Not only can you give birth, but you can also prosper your family.

Upon hearing the old lady's words, the elder sisters got up and walked in front of Mrs. Zhang, acting coquettishly and rubbing.Mrs. Zhang can't bear these three delicate little girls doing like this.

"Okay, okay. Luliu, go to the kitchen and tell me to make a few more copies of today's snacks. Give a copy to every man in the house." According to Mrs. Zhang, the girls feel that He won a battle by himself, and all smiled and ran to the old lady to ask for praise.

When Mrs. Zhang saw it, she immediately pretended to be angry. "Okay, you little girls, you've achieved your goal, and you're not what you were before. Someone, go and call your sister Luliu back, and tell me, my wife, I've changed my mind."

The girls turned their heads quickly, feeling a little overwhelmed.Looking at Mrs. Zhang's deliberately stiff face, and then at the old lady's face that barely suppressed her smile.It took a long time to realize that it was the two of them working together to tease them.

At the moment, it's coquettish and unyielding.There was such a commotion that the whole upper room was filled with laughter.Sitting in his seat, Tang Chao looked at everything in front of him with a smile.

A childhood without worries can be accomplished with a plate of dim sum.

"It's getting late today. Send someone to pick up Sister Ning tomorrow. Let the sisters have a good fight." The old lady laughed for a while, and took a sip of tea in Yuanyang's hand. Only then said to Zhang and Tang Chao with a smile.

"Great, I haven't seen Sister Ning for a long time. Last time we said we would embroider a small kang screen together for the old lady to set up a house."

"Hehe, I don't believe fourth sister's words." How old is Xichun?The nets are twisted and crooked, let alone such decorations as embroidery.

When Xichun heard that Yingchun was tearing down the stage, she only snorted, then turned her head and extended an invitation to Daiyu who was beside her.With the help of several sisters, the screen embroidery can be completed faster.

"Come on, come on, my female red needlework is so-so. The nuns didn't teach things that are too complicated." After speaking, she turned to Yingchun, "What did the second sister's female red learn?"

"That's the way it is. Every time I want to do a little more, Mammy says it's been a long time, and my neck is tired and my eyes are hurt."

"The nanny around you is right. People like us still let you do needlework by yourself. Little girls are supposed to play well. I broke my eyes when I was young, and the old It’s up to you. For the elders, reward those nuns later.” After giving instructions to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Shi went on to talk about Gulai.

"When I was young, I also came here. But anyone who wants to do a little more sewing is not allowed at home. Don't look at how clever those people are. If I had learned it back then, I would be no worse than them."

After hearing this, the girls all wanted to join in the fun and let the old lady talk too much about her youth.When Tang Chao was on the sidelines, he felt a little sad when he heard it.Mrs. Tang's eyes are not just burnt out, now that it's dark, she can't see clearly at all.

Looking down, she saw the exquisitely embroidered shoes on her feet.I feel sorry for my mother even more.But a pair of shoes, what kind of flowers are there to embroider? Isn't it great to have this skill to play cards and listen to plays?

When you buy someone again next year, you must pick two with good needlework and buy them.I can't make my wife tired anymore.

Young widows work hard to raise themselves, and when they are old, they have to take care of their own children.Her mother, she feels distressed.

When she was young, Baoyu brought Jia Zhi and Lin Sheng back to the old lady's yard.A group of my own siblings played around in the old lady's upper room.

After class, Tanchun returned to his yard. After thinking about it, he was still a little unwilling. He was the granddaughter of the old lady. Why could a cousin girl from Ningfu and a cousin girl with a different surname live in the old lady? In the courtyard of Lixiangyuan, but she can only live in the small wing of Lixiangyuan.

If she hadn't been angry because of these things, she wouldn't have returned to Rikain alone after class.

She can't compare with the second cousin, but she is better than those two.The old lady is really old and confused.Sighing, Tanchun suppressed his dissatisfaction, changed his clothes and went to the old lady's yard.Her aunt was right, even if the world is full of good things, if she doesn't bend down to pick them up, it's not hers.

In this family, she was not favored in the first place, and now another cousin girl came, who knows if it will further divide her pitiful favor?

The wife wished that all three of their mothers would die, and the eldest wife only had the three Baoyu brothers and sisters in her eyes.My master doesn't care about everything. If he wants to live a good life, he has to fight for it by himself.

In recent years, my aunt's pampering has become less and less, although compared with my wife, it is still quite a lot.But most days, the master lives in the study.Who let there be a goblin there.

At this time, if you don't take the initiative to go to the old lady to check your favorability, it will not be easy for you to try again in the future.

The woman married to Jia's family was talking to Tang Chao about her family's internal affairs.Young masters and girls who are not married are joking and joking on one side of the room.

"Sister Lin, did you go to school when you were at home?" Baoyu didn't know what was going on, and when he saw Sister Lin standing in front of him, he wanted to move forward.

"It's my father and mother who are teaching Brother Xing and me, but he hasn't gone to school seriously. Did the second brother go to school?"

"Zhi'er and I both go to school in the small study in the mansion. Today I took Brother Xing along. It turns out that Brother Xing has already read the fourth book."

"Well, my father taught it in my spare time. Where did the second brother read?"

"...just went to college." What should I do if I feel ashamed?Brother Lin has already read the fourth book, and sister Lin is naturally at the same pace.Suddenly Baoyu felt a little embarrassed. What if the elder brother was compared to his younger siblings?If the master found out, Baoyu couldn't help shivering.He looked down at his legs uncontrollably.

My life is over!

.. ......

"...Well, I like the phrase 'leave the lotus to listen to the rain', where's the second brother?"

"But I like the phrase 'The little lotus is showing its tiptoes, and the dragonfly has already stood on its head'. I heard that our family still had a lotus pond in the early years. Later, because of brother Hu, he drowned. The old lady and wife, I mean the eldest lady, so I ordered it to be sealed. The old lady also said that there are many children in our family, and the pool is a bit dangerous."

At the beginning, the pool was sealed because of the fear brought about by Jia Hu.Later, there were more and more boys in the family, and all of them were so naughty.Both Shi Shi and Zhang Shi were afraid that these half-children would be mischievous, so they kept sealing the pool.

Daiyu listened and nodded.I feel a little regretful.They are in the south, and there is really no shortage of small ponds.It would be a pity not to see it in the next few years.

The two talked for a while, and Baoyu's image of Sister Lin became even higher.Sister Lin is one year younger than him, but her common sense is higher than her own, and she is quick-witted, and all kinds of allusions are catchy.

Both of them are interested in those poems and words.I focused on those again, the more I talked, the more speculative I became.It wasn't until Lin Sheng and Xi Chun refused to give in to each other because of a game of chess that they stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Daiyu asked Lin Sheng.At the same time, Baoyu also looked at Xichun and the others.

"Sister Lin, Brother Xing won't make people regret their moves." Although Xichun is a few months older than Lin Sheng and Jia Huan, she doesn't have the mentality of being a sister at all.Seeing Baoyu and Daiyu stop talking, they asked.Hastily complained of grievances.

Baoyu, Daiyu, Yingchun, "...", is it reasonable and legal to regret a game when they don't know it?It turned out that he was blocked, so he could still sue so straightforwardly?

"Hmph, fourth sister, don't you understand the principle of no regrets when playing a chess game? Look at what you are like, it's a little unreasonable." After Tanchun came, she found that no one wanted to play with her. Already very dissatisfied.Seeing Xichun, who is getting annoyed playing chess, immediately slams his mouth open.

"I'm happy, do you care? It's just a game of chess, it's not about winning the house. Who wants you to care. Hmph. Brother Xing, let's continue playing." After finishing speaking, Xichun was still very narrow-minded. All the chess games that were about to lose were messed up.

Baoyu, Daiyu: "..." Is this really good?Do you think this way, others will not know that you are going to lose the game just now?

No matter what he thought, Lin Sheng glanced at Tanchun, nodded, and continued to play chess with Xichun.Compared with the three sisters in front of him, he likes Xichun better.Who made the third sister's eyes look uncomfortable?

Tanchun is very angry.Originally, she thought that Xichun was ignorant and that Lin Sheng would play with her.But now it's good, people are still playing with others.She's so boring.

After stomping his feet vigorously, Tanchun turned to look at that sister Lin.But Sister Lin and Baoyu watched Lin Sheng and Xichun play chess from left to right.

Glancing hard at Baoyu, Tanchun walked up to Aunt and Nephew Jiazhi, whom they were talking in a low voice.When the two of them saw Tanchun approaching, they quickly covered up the topic just now.

The relationship between the first room and the second room has always been lukewarm.Of course, this is what the people headed by the Xing family showed first.Jia Zheng didn't feel anything.Jia Zhu and Sister Feng have always been close to the eldest wife.But the Tanchun siblings and their big families, although not at the point where they were at war with Baoyu, were not much better either.

In the past two years, Baoyu has always been reprimanded by the second master, and there are many of them who played the role of Aunt Zhao, mother and son.In the eyes of Yingchun and others, Baoyu is pitiful enough.If it weren't for the presence of Nanny Li by my side, I don't know what my life would be like.

What's wrong with Baoyu? Is it just because he is a legitimate son?Just because he has a dowry of his deceased mother?Or was it because the old lady felt sorry for Baoyu and took Baoyu to her side to raise him?

But in any case, these brothers and sisters look down on Aunt Zhao and the Xing family very much.There is nothing in the mansion gate that people can't know.Tanchun always took Jia Huan to step on Baoyu in front of Jia Zheng. These people have heard more or less about it.

This is still a brother of Yifang, so step on it as soon as you say it.What are their next door cousins?

Because of this, everyone didn't have a good impression of Tanchun.

Among them, Jia Zhi is the most so.He grew up with Baoyu since he was a child.At the beginning, I would accompany my second uncle Bao to greet my second uncle.Baoyu was treated in the second room, and Jia Zhi was the clearest.I also feel sorry for him the most.Jia Zhi's attitude directly affected Shui and Zhang.

Recently, they are servants of Rongguo Mansion.The servants of the Rongguo Mansion treated him with negligence openly and secretly, and the people in the second room didn't even know why.Not to mention Tanchun at a young age.

None of the brothers and sisters in the family like Tanchun siblings.It's the same even if Jia Huan is often detained in the yard and can't get out of school.So after Tanchun hit a soft nail here, his eyes rolled.He lifted his skirt and walked to the married women's salon.

"Old lady, Tanchun likes Sister Lin very much, can I live with Sister Lin?" First find a way to stay in the old lady's yard, and then plan other things.

Shi Shi looked at the concubine's granddaughter in front of her, and felt a little unhappy, a good child, who was taught to be so petty, just so careful, let alone she saw it, the others were not fools.

Although she can also keep Tanchun by her side.But she didn't like this child since she was a child.Especially when the womb was born in Wang's filial piety, Shi Shi especially tabooed this matter when he was getting old.

Wang's filial piety is Tanchun's mother's filial piety.Although this matter has nothing to do with Tanchun himself, the old lady doesn't want to blame her son, so she can only blame others.Aunt Zhao is one, and Tanchun is another.

"If you like your sister Lin, you can come and walk around more often when you are free. Your sister Lin has come all the way, and it's why you little sisters spend more time with her."

Shi Shi could see clearly, whether it was the three direct children of the second room, or Yingchun of the first room.That's Zhang's willingness to step in.So have a good time.But Tanchun is obviously not within the scope of Zhang's love.

To talk about herself, Shi felt amused, even though she was her own granddaughter.But she is not a granddaughter without a direct descendant.When she was young, what she hated the most was having children from concubines.

"Our second room is only the third girl and one girl, and she is very lonely on weekdays. Why don't you stay in the old lady's courtyard, the sisters are happy together, and if she stays here, she can honor you for me and our master." Xing Xing Shi thinks Tanchun's idea is good.If she enters the old lady's yard, then their second room can save a lot of money.

When Shi Shi heard this, he laughed, "There are quite a few people in my yard. It's you, who is desolate under your knees, and let the third girl keep you by your side, that's all." The thing is that she doesn't like the background of the third girl in her heart. When the second daughter-in-law said this, Shi's heart became even more disgusted.

She just doesn't care, what can you do?

"...", because of Shi's truth, Xing was speechless for a moment.

When Tanchun heard this, he could only respond in a nasty way.What the old lady said obviously did not want to keep her by her side.

In the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, the parents are short-tempered, and they don't have to worry about talking.But in the Northwest, there are not so many loves between children.

I don't know if Jia Cong's luck is good or not.In the twelfth lunar month of winter, people on the prairie actually picked up grain and grass.And coincidentally, it was the day when Jia Cong found Li Goudan.

Jia Cong took the young servants, and after a lot of hard work, he finally found the army's garrison, took out his identity certificate, and then entered the barracks.It took another long time to find my father-in-law who already had an official name.

Why didn't anyone tell him that his cheap father-in-law gave him a name?

The father-in-law's barracks is next to the horse fence.There is a small earthen hut there.The inside is not big, but all the items that should be used to live at home are complete.

After inquiring quietly, I found out that there was only his father-in-law nearby who was guarding day and night.As soon as Jia Cong rolled his eyes, he felt that someone must be bullying his stupid father-in-law. He wondered if he would take the list he got from his father and visit them one by one, and the barracks exploded.

Mud girl, no matter what you say, you start to fight.And let no one take a breath.

There was chaos in the barracks, only his father-in-law became more and more calm.

"It's okay, Third Master. We're safe here." The stable here is the rear, and unless the people in front are all wiped out, it's impossible to hit here.

And what Li Goudan didn't say was that if these people really couldn't beat them and wanted to run, they would run to him first to lead the horses. You must know that two-legged people can't run with four-legged ones.

When the time really came, he just ran along.Thinking of this, Li Goudan took another look at Jia Cong's thin and tall figure, sighed and shook his head.

The bone frame was placed there. It is estimated that if something goes wrong, he will have to wait for him to grab another horse.

"Uncle Li, aren't you afraid?" The hot-blooded brain was completely cooled by the sound of real fighting.At this moment, although Jia Cong didn't really step into the battlefield, he already understood the cruelty of the war in his heart.

Looking at the wounded soldiers who were helped from the battlefield beside him, the blood seemed to be spilled on the ground for free.And the bursts of bloody smell that came from it were also unbearable.

Oh, and this barracks with no place to stay.All these made Jia Cong regret coming here.Looking at the future father-in-law who hasn't come home for seven or eight years.Jia Cong couldn't help thinking about how to get the person out and pack him away.

"What are you afraid of? I'm used to it. I'm used to it. The third master is afraid. Why don't you go back to the barracks first. I'll call you after the meal is ready. There's still my ex-boyfriend in the house." The wild persimmons I picked up at the foot of the mountain. They are all ripe."

Li Goudan can be eaten, and he can also grab it. When the kitchen staff got together, they thought that he could start a business independently, and he could cook anyway.There is also a small stove where the horses are kept.So since Li Goudan was promoted to the seventh rank two years ago, he stopped going to the kitchen to grab food with the gang of soldiers.

This time when Jia Cong came all the way from the capital, Li Goudan specially took out a lot of high-quality jerky and prepared to stew it thickly in a pot to treat him well.

The pampered and spoiled young master in the mansion has suffered a lot along the way.Li Goudan thought again of the bag of clothes that Jia Cong brought him and the dried food made by his wife. He took out two eggs from the basket hanging from the beam beside him.

In this world, eggs are more expensive than meat, and scrambled eggs later would be a good meal.

Jia Cong: "..." Dad, you are my real father.What's going on in the front, the wounded soldiers are one crop after another, you can still think about such things as lighting a fire and cooking, how did you grow your brain, will it be passed on to my daughter-in-law?

And this time to eat persimmons, your taste is really good.Especially the frozen persimmons, which are red, yellow and white with stubble when you bite into them. When you eat them, you can't think of anything else?

"Third Lord doesn't know, it's just like that. When I was in the stable that year, I only heard shouting and killing a few times. Then I was promoted. I don't know this time." Is there any more luck?"

"..." Jia Cong didn't want to say anything, and directly entered the small room with his head down.He really didn't want to stay outside.
