The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

The members of the Jia family would never have imagined that if Jia Hu had drowned in the lotus pond, or if Mrs. Zhang had really died when Jia Lian was giving birth.The children of the Jia family will only call Xue Pan brothers and sisters, and they will be on par.

Compared with Xue Pan's high-profile hobby of beating people to death in the street and robbing business, Jia Lian, who hooked up with the servants in the original book and liked to share "public transportation" with the servants of the mansion, has a lower hobby.

The more people are not allowed to do something, the more they insist on doing it.The more you force him to think about something, the more he will think about it over and over again.

This point has been fully verified by Jia Lian.In her previous life, Sister Feng blocked all of Jia Lian's romantic avenues.That's why Jia Lian is so hungry that a woman will rush to him.

But this life is different, the fight between the daughter-in-law and the old mother is to put women by his side.After coming and going again and again, Jia Lian actually became somewhat tired of the many women around him.

In the small courtyard where he lived, there was a rule that women were not allowed to go to the front yard.The women were all staying in the backyard, and whoever dared to approach him without incident would be punished with a cane.

The environment has a decisive effect on the influence of a person.Because Jia Lian had more women, he became resistant to women to a certain extent.

And because Xue Pan was the only son in the family, he developed an arrogant and domineering temperament.If I don't make a big somersault, I guess I won't know the good and bad in the world.

Some people despise, some people despise, some people rejoice.The men of the Jia family are increasingly aware of the gap between themselves and Xue Pan, which gives them a deeper understanding of the rise and fall of the family.

The Xue family will be defeated.

Just this generation.

Even Jia Zhi, who came here together this time, had such thoughts.

Grandpa was right, this kind of unmotivated child should be dipped in cold water with the whip.Take a few whips for a while, or you won't be serious.

"Zhi'er, I can't imagine that if there is no nanny, I will become like brother Xue one day." Baoyu murmured to Jia Zhi after sending Xue Pan away.

Jia Zhi tilted her head, thought for a while, and replied with certainty, "No."

"Why not?" Baoyu was surprised. Could it be that Zhi'er has so much confidence in herself?This is something even he himself is not sure about.

"Second Uncle Bao, the reason is very simple. If there is no Nanny Li, you have no chance to become like him at all. Playboys also need a financial foundation. As for our pitiful monthly money. It's enough to go to the third-class restaurant once a month. You can't be a dandy. However, if you calculate it on a monthly basis, the girls in our family still have the possibility. I heard from my mother that the wife I bought two sets of jewelry for Second Aunt and the others." Without Madam Li's protection, it is estimated that Second Uncle Bao's property would have been divided up long ago.Still want to spend a lot of money, that is a dream.

Baoyu was startled when he heard Jia Zhi's words.That's right.Since his birth, without Nanny Li's protection, his life would not have been as smooth and easy as it is now.

The things his mother left for him, as well as the things left by his elder sister before entering the palace, are all in the hands of Nanny Li.Although the second wife often told herself or let others tell her that Nanny Li controls her own finances, so what.But Baoyu didn't believe it at all.

From Baoyu's point of view, if Nanny Li really did what they said, he would also be willing to give it all to Nanny Li.That's my nanny.

The best man for himself since he can remember.The eldest sister was kind to him, but the presence of the eldest sister in his heart had become more and more blurred with the passage of time.

The old lady is good to herself, but after all, the old lady is not only her own grandson.The old lady is getting older, and there are always times when she can't do what she wants.

As for the eldest aunt, sister-in-law Hu, and sister-in-law Zhu, Baoyu could feel that the eldest aunt felt more pity for her, while the latter two sister-in-laws were just showing respect.

Although one of them was his cousin.

Ever since I can remember, until today.In Baoyu's heart, he really regarded the nanny as his own mother.He believed in her and relied on her.

How can those friendships be comparable to yellow and white things?

"You're right, as long as the nanny is here, I won't become like Big Brother Xue. Let's go, let's go back to the old lady." If I don't learn well, the nanny has plenty of ways to deal with me.Those painful experiences when he was a child told him that he should be an obedient child honestly.

"Okay, Brother Xing also said that he got a new pair of good things and wanted to play with me."

While talking, the two uncles and nephews who were running and jumping returned to Jiamu's Rongqing Hall.

Hey, Aunt Xue's family came to visit today. Sister Lin and Fourth Sister have lost their mothers. Will they feel bad because they saw Aunt Xue's mother and daughter?

The more Baoyu thought about it, the more he felt that this would be the case.You must know that when he was young, when he knew that he was not born by a nanny, he also felt sad for a while.Especially when he saw that Brother Zhi would always act like a baby by Hu's sister-in-law, how envious he was.

Sister Lin looked worried, but she couldn't think of Aunt Min because of this incident.It won't be good if you hurt your body again.

Thinking of Baoyu here, I also thought of Brother Xing who has gained weight recently, and Sister Lin who has always been slender.Suddenly, I felt that it was better to find a way to make Sister Lin eat more.

It has been more than half a year since I came to the mansion, and Brother Xing has never been sick once.Sister Lin has invited the imperial physician twice.Although they are all Xiao Fenghan, among the people in the mansion, only the fourth younger sister has visited the imperial physician in the past six months, and it is less than younger sister Lin.

It seems that I should really listen to the nanny more, eat more, and move my body more to get better.

"Zhi'er, let's go back to the front yard first. I just got a good painting. Let's take the painting and invite the sisters to look at it together. How about it?"

"Let's forget about the third aunt. I'm impatient to listen to her preaching. Well, you are all masters, how can you not study hard and do these things that are useless. If you don't live up to this, I will tell the master to go." Jia After Zhi complained to Baoyu, she started to learn from Tanchun, holding her throat and pointing at Baoyu with raised eyebrows.

"Stinky boy." Baoyu patted Jia Zhi on the head, looked around, and whispered, "It's okay, I can't meet her, just look at the weather." Brothers and sisters don't like the third sister, and Baoyu doesn't like her either. like.Fortunately, the third sister doesn't live with everyone, nor does she live in the old lady's yard.

Jia Zhi looked up at the sky, at this time, Tanchun was about to go back to Lixiangyuan.With a smile, he took Baoyu and turned back to the front yard, which belonged to their small yard.

After getting the painting, the uncle and nephew went to Rongqing Hall by themselves.As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the servants in the courtyard reply that the old lady was a little tired after seeing the guests today, and she had already rested early, please come back tomorrow to say hello.

After hearing this, the two looked at each other, and only bowed outside the door.Then he went to Xichun's room.

Yingchun is grown up, and Daiyu is a cousin girl again, only six-year-old Xichun's room is available to them at this age.

Xichun is only six years old this year. Although she has a little bit of interest in painting, but what she draws by herself is nothing but different.

Paints, paper and pens were moved to her private warehouse in complete sets because she wanted to learn.Every time I draw a picture, there is nothing in the house, on the ground, on my body that is not dirty.Sometimes, paint is also stained on the face, which is difficult to clean.Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty asked someone to make a big hexagram for her to wear when painting.Otherwise, a lot of good clothing materials will be wasted.

At this moment, probably because of seeing guests during the day, Xichun did not continue to harm her with those paints and pens.

When the two entered the room, Xichun found out what they were coming for, so she hurriedly sent her maid to invite Daiyu and Yingchun.When she was young, Daiyu brought Lin Sheng over.Yingchun didn't come, and the servant reported that he had already rested.

After admiring the paintings, only Xichun was eager to try and show off his skills in painting, while the others had already moved on to other things.

The Lin family brought in a set of Luban mechanism locks yesterday, and Lin Sheng kept them until Jia Zhi came to play with them.Now the two of them directly sat on the big couch in Xichun's room and began to fiddle with it.

Xichun glanced at it and twisted her head.She doesn't want to play with boys' stuff.So he continued to lower his head and traced the painting with the chubby paw.

Baoyu and Daiyu sat on the round table in the middle and drank milk.

"Sister, are you still used to drinking it? When I was about one year old, my mother asked someone to make this for me every day. Although it was cooked with fruit kernels and rose marinade, the smell of mutton still made people Can't take it."

Daiyu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and replied softly, "It's okay. I also drank them since I was young. When I was young, my mother said that our siblings were weak and the milk was too hard. Let Brother Xing and I drink goat's milk, and don't start drinking cow's milk until we are five or six years old."

After hearing this, Baoyu glanced at Daiyu, then turned to look at Lin Sheng.It feels a little weak.When he was two or three years old, he started to drink cow's milk instead of goat's milk.

"... Aunt Xue's family came here today. The eldest brother and cousin of the Xue family are also poor people. They lost their father since they were young."

Daiyu carefully tasted Baoyu's words, then looked up at him fixedly, already understanding the meaning of Baoyu's words in her heart.Ever since Baoyu and Jia Zhi moved to the front yard, they never came to the yard except for dinner at night.

Daiyu also understands that everyone has grown up, so there must be some taboos.Although it was a bit late today, because of the banquet for Xue's mother and daughter, the dinner was much earlier than usual.It was just after the usual dinner time.

Now it seems that Baoyu didn't really want to show them the paintings when he came here.I'm just afraid that these motherless children will be emotional, so I came here to comfort them.

Moisturizing things silently, it's hard for him to have this kind of heart.

.. ......

Seeing Xue Baochai, Tang Chao's wish was fulfilled.Packed up some baggage.Tang Chao went home to live that night.

The next day, accompanied by my son, I went to the big courtyard in the outer city that the old lady had given me.Inside is undergoing renovations.

Drawings or something, it is naturally impossible for Mr. Shan Ziye to draw.Their family can't afford to hire such a great designer.But the Tang Dynasty had other ways.

Her brother-in-law and son both have some connections.Get a copy of the garden drawings of those colleagues who were officials in the same dynasty and classmates in the same department.After picking and choosing, let my eldest son combine the buildings he likes into a picture, and the size and area match the size of the new house, and it will be done.

Such a blueprint, Tang Chao himself thought it was very good.Much better than modern parks.She just liked it.People have a combination of Chinese and Western.She came to a great alliance between the North and the South.But when he got such a blueprint, even Li Jue, who had been messing around with his mother all the time, felt a little bad.

It doesn't fit at all, okay.Mifen wall in the south and gazebo in the north.There is also the lotus pond with lotus leaves as its feet, how is it connected with the water tower?Anyway, no matter how you look at it, Li Jue is a little bit broken.

Just when Li Jue thought that he would build a four-dimensional garden, he didn't know that his mother took the blueprint to the Rongguo Mansion and changed it carefully before starting construction.This made Li Jue finally heave a sigh of relief.

The Tang Dynasty believed in the cultural influence of sister Lin, a talented woman through the ages.In addition, Tang Chao wanted to give the garden to the "two Yu'er" in the future, so he let sister Lin participate.

Please entrust the drawings to Sister Lin.Let her help change it.In just three to five days, the new blueprints came out, absolutely peaceful.harmonious.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, exquisite terraces and pavilions.Elegant and unconventional, such a garden, just looking at the drawings, the Tang Dynasty felt that even gods could live there.

After Dang Jihao thanked Daiyu, he gave the drawing to his son.

Anyway, the wedding was already almost ready.Idle now is also idle.It's better to stare at Jianyuanzi.The most important thing is to study hard or something.

Li Jue didn't have any complaints about his own mother's orders.So I went out early and returned late to start working as a supervisor.

By this day, the garden has been repaired one-third of the way.Tang Chao also wanted to have a sneak peek, so he followed his son.

"Mom, why do you want to build such a garden?" Li Jue just felt that this kind of garden repairing was not something his mother or their family could do.

"This is the old lady's house, the eldest girl's private house. Your mother and I are just listening to people yelling at you. You can do whatever they say." I told Li Jue long ago that this house is not theirs. Yes, the three brothers and sisters don't worry about it.

Although the house was given to her by Mrs. Shi, the money for converting the house into a garden is the part that she and Yuan Chun share.But these Tang Dynasty will not tell his son, after all, there are some things, not knowing is easier to satisfy than knowing.

"I know, Mom, you don't need to emphasize these words over and over again, even if your son is greedy, he won't think about this garden. If he wants it, I will cover it myself in the future. Your son is not so blind .”

As soon as Li Jue said this, Tang Chao felt a little uncomfortable, sighed, Tang Chao asked Li Jue again, "I have been in the mansion all these years, I asked you to go to the temple to light the lamps, Are you ready? It’s not broken, is it?”

"No, the money for lamp oil and incense is sent every year on a quarterly and monthly basis. But mom, why do you want to light such a lamp?" A few years ago, when my father got news, my mother asked someone to light it. A karma-killing lamp.

It's not that they are consciously guilty. Most people would not light this karma-elimination lamp.But his mother is a little woman, or a little woman who has lived in the gate of the mansion for many years, what kind of sins can she bear to light the karma-elimination lamp?

"...Don't ask. Mom doesn't want to talk about it yet. Just don't forget to help mom keep an eye on the lamp. Let's talk about these things later." For the sake of the idea back then, Mr. Tang Chao Will have a bad conscience.I kept thinking about it in my heart, but I couldn't find out what was going on in the palace.The only thing that can be done is to light a karma-removing lamp in the temple, and when the light is off, give some porridge.

Li Jue nodded.I had to suppress my curiosity once again.

"How long will it take for this garden to be repaired?" Tang Chao turned around and asked his son behind him.

"The main courtyard and the two side courtyards have been repaired, and the observation building on the other side of the rockery is almost completed. Before the winter, it can be repaired to about [-]% or [-]%." The rest will wait for the spring of the next year to break ground. up.

"Will the saplings be moved in the spring next year?"

"Yes, the saplings are transplanted in spring, and the survival rate is higher. My classmate's family is in the seedling business. I have already told him that plum trees and bamboo are indispensable, so he kept a few more varieties. Others He also introduced me to two good gardeners. They are a father and son, both of whom are willing to sell themselves. Man, I had someone take a test, and the craftsmanship is not bad. I have already bought it. Come down. Live in the row of servants’ houses behind.”

Tang Chao nodded while listening, "...I don't worry if you do things." If her son hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about buying a gardener long ago.

"By the way, mother, the furniture in the house is soft, and the curtains and so on are about to start. It is estimated that the garden will be almost repaired next summer. Other small things will not exceed the end of next year. "

"So fast? Well, let me think about it. Anyway, those things are not in a hurry." After Tang Chao finished speaking, he began to think about the direction of Hongmeng's big incident.

Baoyu first tried love at the age of ten, and Daiyu was nine years old that year. At the end of that year, Lin Ruhai became seriously ill, and Daiyu's siblings returned to the south.Uh, no, it was Daiyu who went back to the south by herself.Then in September of the next year, when Daiyu was ten years old, Lin Ruhai disappeared.

In the winter of this year, Daiyu went to Jia's mansion again, and received the news of Yuanchun's concubine on the way.Not long after entering the mansion, Jia Lian and Sister Feng started to repair the garden.

After careful calculation, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the year when Baoyu was thirteen and Daiyu was twelve was the day of visiting relatives in Yuanchun.

If one year's time for repairing the garden is saved, Yuan Chun can come back to visit relatives when Baoyu is 12 years old. When the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year is when the concubines visit relatives, Yuan Chun may be able to go home again.

Now Baoyu is eight years old, next year he will be nine years old, and in the next year he will be ten years old.That is, there are two.For three years, the garden was built and was empty and useless.

Even so, it really needs to buy some furniture curtains.But if these things are added with one's own financial resources, it can't be better.When it's time to visit relatives, you must do it again.

Fortunately, the furniture can be used for a long time, and those curtains and so on, it is estimated that they will have to be new after visiting relatives in the next year.It would be a waste of money to make another set now.

But if you don't do it, is it possible to lock the door and wait for relatives after the garden is completed, neither entering nor arranging these things?Everyone finds it weird.Using these things to delay time is a good way to deceive people.

But what is it that takes so long to do well?

Alas, in the final analysis, these are unnecessary expenses.She still cares about money.

Just when Tang Chao felt sorry for Qian, he suddenly thought of something and immediately closed his eyes with a smile.

How could she have forgotten, and she could still do this.
