The Five Girls of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

When Lin Jing returned to the Rose Garden, she felt refreshed and couldn't help complaining: "I really hate going to the old lady's place, she doesn't like me, and I just annoyed her when I went." Watching Mrs. Zhao act coquettishly, she said, "Mother, can I not go?"

Mrs. Zhao pinched the tip of her nose and taught her a lesson: "Don't say this again in the future. If I listen to it, I will break your leg!" She gave her a reproachful look, and then sighed: " If it wasn’t for Miss Wan to speak for you today, it wouldn’t be that easy.” She took a fancy to her own daughter, and said earnestly: “Mr. What's the matter." She shook her head as she spoke, not wanting to tell my daughter about these bad things, so she just said again: "I see that girl Wan is submissive, she is not the kind of person who is jealous and sows dissension, if you are bored , but I can find her to play with."

Lin Jing curled her lips, and said rather unhappily: "She is good, but my aunt doesn't allow her to come out to play."

Mrs. Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then twitched the corners of her mouth, "I was negligent." But she didn't mention it anymore.

Lin Jing herself is quite quiet. She is very busy now. Because of the delicious food, she tries to get some delicious food every day. Lin Jiaping got a few koi from somewhere a while ago, and she loves them very much. Lin Jing has been staring at it for a long time, but today she still snatched a few of them back while people were not paying attention, and she didn't take them to the big kitchen, which only caused some trouble and affected her mood of eating koi, which is not beautiful , so she took it directly to the Rose Garden.

Dongqing almost fainted when she saw it. It is said that these koi were transported from Yunnan and Guizhou at a high price by the old master. A few days ago, the Elder Master planned to invite the young talented scholars from Gusu City to come to the Lin Mansion to watch the fish, but why did he get caught by his own girl.

"Gu... Miss, how did you get it?" Holly asked tremblingly, but if it's what she guessed, maybe these koi are not the ones in the garden.

Lin Jing tilted her mouth, showing a big smile, and said, "There are a lot of fish ponds in the newly built garden." She was afraid that the holly would not be enough to stimulate her, and she said, "Don't worry, eat it. I'll catch it when I'm done." Speaking of something suspicious on the corner of her mouth, she wiped the corner of her mouth and hurriedly greeted: "Acacia and Acacia, quickly bring some firewood from the kitchen." She planned to do it herself, at Lihuawu [-] In [-], she often went out with Ah Ning to catch game. Although she couldn't bake it well, she was good at making soup.

Hehuan didn't have as much thought as Dongqing. In her opinion, what the master said was what to do. She hurriedly trotted to prepare firewood. The cook, Mrs. Wang, smiled and asked, "What does Miss Hehuan want these for? If there is anything you want to eat?" , just say it directly.”

He Huan often went to the kitchen on weekdays, and he was also familiar with Mrs. Wang, and said with a smile: "Our wife asks the girl to learn how to be a female celebrity, but the girl can't sit still, and she can't even make embroidery needles. The wife has no choice but to let the girl Learn how to cook."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's time to learn." She looked at Hehuan amusedly, and said with a smile: "Fifth Miss likes to think about food on weekdays, so it's appropriate to learn how to cook."

Hehuan smiled innocently.

"Sister-in-law Wang, are the pigeon eggs our aunt wants ready?" A pretty girl came in, she was a little surprised when she saw Hehuan, but she raised her eyebrows in a blink of an eye, shook her handkerchief, and said: " Who am I supposed to be, it turns out to be sister Hehuan." The sister's voice was drawn out, obviously on purpose.

He Huan took a look at her, didn't care, and said with a smile, "Gui Xiang." Although Gui Xiang was older than He Huan, she was the girl next to Que'er, but she couldn't compare to He Huan who served by Lin Jing's side. The daughter of the first daughter, she should not be the sister of a happy sister.

Guixiang just sneered, and then said to Mrs. Wang, "Sister-in-law Wang, where are the pigeon eggs our aunt wants?"

Mrs. Wang accompanied her with a smile, and said, "I'm really sorry. The girl Yurun who was next to the second master came just now, and she said that she was serving the second master to paint at noon, and she didn't eat much. Now she's hungry, so she took that Take the bowl of pigeon eggs."

Guixiang twisted her mouth, "Miss Yurun took it?" She said with a cold snort, and said, "Does the second master want to eat it or Yurun wants to eat it? It's just a girl, you are rushing to curry favor, it seems like Is that Yurun higher than our aunt? You don’t even open your eyes to see, if our aunt hadn’t spoken well for you in front of the second master, you would have sold all of them because of your kitchen mistakes earlier? "

This matter has to be started from the year before last. Que'er was unwilling to wait for Lin Jiaquan to come to the east courtyard every day. She knew that she couldn't compare to the beautiful Ruan Xinxiao, Xiao Taohong from Liyuan, and even more so. Zhu Qing was supported by the old lady, so she found another way, instead of treating herself as an aunt, she only regarded her as Lin Jiaquan's girl, and she devoted herself to serving Lin Jiaquan in the west courtyard every day. He didn't care at all, how could Lin Jiaquan resist Que'er's all-consuming seduction?

Que'er is naturally good-looking and charming, otherwise she wouldn't have seduced Lin Jiaquan and scratched her heart when she was in the old lady's house. Naturally, Yurun couldn't catch Lin Jiaquan's eyes.

No matter what other people said, Que'er didn't pay any attention to it, and only wanted to hook Lin Jiaquan. After three years, Que'er could be regarded as a firm foothold in the West Courtyard, and Lin Jiaquan loved him for a long time, only once, Lin Jiaquan and Que'er were feeding and teasing each other intimately in the study, but they didn't expect that they had diarrhea for three days in a row, and Que'er almost hurt himself because of it.

The people in the big kitchen suffered a lot. The previous kitchen manager, Mr. Cui, belonged to the Chen family. The old lady also took this opportunity to take down Mr. Cui’s. She wanted to sell them all, but Que’er But she interceded for others. Mrs. Wang was the second steward of the kitchen before, but after Mrs. Cui left, Mrs. Wang became the steward of the kitchen.

In this way, because of this matter, Que'er always felt that she had given them kindness, and she often came here on weekdays to ask Mrs. Wang to make small stoves for them. At the beginning, Mrs. Wang and others were also grateful, but it has been a long time , No one is dissatisfied, and now that Guixiang says this, Mrs. Wang is naturally not happy, but now that Queer is being favored, she doesn't want to cause trouble, so she said: "Miss Guixiang really wronged us, Miss Yurun said It was given to the second master to eat, we are all rough people, how can we know so much, and how can we dare to starve the second master, of course Miss Yurun took it." She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and apologized with a smile: "Auntie is the savior of many people in our kitchen. If there is no Auntie, we don't know where we are today."

The women around were also laughing together, Gui Xiang raised her chin slightly, looked at everyone's flattery, seemed extraordinarily satisfied, snorted, and said: "How do you know the stakes in this?" Shaking off the handkerchief, covering his nose and frowning, he said, "What is the smell? The kitchen is an important place, so don't be careless."

"Naturally." The corners of Mrs. Wang's mouth were a little stiff when she smiled, and Gui Xiang shook her handkerchief and walked away.

When she couldn't see anyone, Mrs. Wang gave a piss and said angrily, "I really think I am something. When Miss Yurun has a child, see how she can be frightened." Several daughters-in-law said quickly: "Sister-in-law said Yes, Miss Yurun is kind-hearted, she is not like that Que'er, she only depends on the favor of the second master, and doesn't take us seriously." Beating her back and pinching her shoulders, she beating Que'er's master and servant, " It's just Miss Yurun, she really..."

Mrs. Wang glared at the daughter-in-law, then crossed one leg and sat on the chair, said: "I can't fake it, I have been cooking for many years, and I can tell a thing or two from the food she cooks. It's just that there is no one in the family now, so I'm afraid they are hiding it." She warned again: "Just listen to what you said, don't worry about it." The other daughters-in-law naturally responded quickly.

He Huan listened to the gossip, and then secretly left with the firewood.

She trotted back to the Rose Garden, only to hear her girl ask: "Why have you been there for so long?" Dongqing glared at her, took the firewood from her hand, and said: "It must have been eaten in the kitchen." She With a chuckle, he said: "Sister-in-law Wang likes her, and she will leave something delicious for this girl before she goes back."

"It's good to be daring." Lin Jing was overjoyed, clapping her hands and said: "You still have the ability."

Hehuan rubbed her head innocently, and said with a smile, "Thanks to the girl." She glanced left and right, lowered her voice, and said, "Girl, Sister-in-law Wang and the others flatter you on the surface. Aunt Li is actually very dissatisfied with them." Que'er's surname is Li, so everyone below calls her Aunt Li.

Dongqing rolled her eyes, "Who doesn't know about this." Fortunately, she thought this girl had heard something important.

Hehuan blushed, and quickly said, "But there is one more thing you don't know." Seeing Dongqing's disapproval, she quickly said, "Then Miss Yurun is pregnant." Surprised by Dongqing, even Mrs. Sun hurriedly asked, "Who told this?"

Hehuan was a little guilty, what Mrs. Wang said was just a guess, I'm afraid it would be too much to do, not to mention that Yurun just wanted to change her taste, but it wasn't necessarily because she was pregnant, so she heard Mrs. Sun say so. Asked, Hehuan was a little uncertain.

Seeing her hesitant look, Dongqing rolled her eyes and said, "I thought it was you who got some news, and you just said your feelings?"

"That's not true." He Huan pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "I overheard it, and Mrs. Wang said it." She probably knew that this method was disgraceful, and shrank her neck a little guilty.
