The Five Girls of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Lin Jing looked at him for a moment, pouted and complained: "Okay, you hold it first, don't lose it." Seeing Mu Ning nodding, Lin Jing couldn't help telling her fiercely: "If you lose it, I beat you!"

A smile appeared on Mu Ning's face, but he grabbed her threatening finger with a wry smile and said, "After all these years, don't you still believe me?"

Lin Jing thought for a while before showing a smile on her face, nodded and said: "I believe you." After speaking, she shook the fingers held by him, and said, "Don't let go soon?!" Seeing Mu Ning's obedient After letting go, Lin Jingcai said: "Come on, tell me, what did those people say after they left?"

Mu Ning was not annoyed, he shook hands and put his palms behind his back, then smiled and said, "The ones who went were Zhou Rui and his son-in-law Leng Zixing, who ran an antique shop in Beijing and made a lot of money." Seeing Lin Jing frowning, Mu Ning said again: "This is not a good thing at all, and it will pollute your ears if you say it."

"Zhou Rui's family is the accompanying room of the second wife in the Rongguo Mansion. It has always been powerful. Her son-in-law's antique shop has quite a lot of high-quality goods."

When Mu Ning said this, Lin Jing understood, her eyes flashed, and she said in surprise: "You mean that Zhou Rui's family has exchanged fakes from Rongguo Mansion for the real ones to be consigned by her son-in-law?" Otherwise, she is just a nanny in charge. Seeing that Mu Ning nodded, Lin Jing sighed, "This is really daring, isn't she afraid of being discovered?"

"Hmph, whose idea do you think this is? If she hadn't been instructed by the second wife, how would she have the guts?!" Mu Ning touched Lin Jing's head helplessly, and said, "That Zhou Rui, because of his mother-in-law, always Being flattered by others, I only think that Baofeng Building is your property, a lady who lives in Rongguo Mansion and has nothing, needs to rely on others for food and clothing, so there is no need to be cautious." Mu Ning narrowed his eyes, and then He said: "That's why he was extremely arrogant. When he went there, he said that he would resign from the shopkeeper. He only said that Baofeng Tower would be taken care of by him in the future."

Lin Jing snorted, and said, "A group of things that rely on people's power."

Seeing that she was angry, Mu Ning stopped talking about it, and said, "I thought you would go and see for yourself, why did the second wife send someone there?"

"Don't mention it." Lin Jing pouted and complained: "Then Wang said that ladies should not think about how to go out every day. If I go out and be seen by others, it will hurt the ladies of the Rongguo Mansion. reputation."

"It's just nonsense!" Mu Ning looked ugly, frowning and asked, "She doesn't want you to go out? Why?"

Lin Jing pursed her lips. Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Mu Ning pretended to be wronged and asked, "Is there anything else you can't say to me?"

"Of course not." Lin Jing quickly retorted, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "A few days ago, my room with Daiyu was turned over by someone. I thought, someone was looking for something." Having said it, Lin Jing didn't intend to hide it anymore, she raised her eyebrows and smiled and said, "Don't even look at who I am? It's just a dream to try to find something out of my hand!"

Mu Ning looked ashen, stood up abruptly, and said, "Since this is the case, why do you stay here, it will only increase your troubles." Seeing that Lin Jing did not speak, Mu Ning said again: "If you are worried about Daiyu, just Just take her with you."

"If it's just me, I'm not afraid." Lin Jing stared, and said: "But Daiyu is still young, and she will marry in the future. I only take her out, and she has no elders to educate her. How can I say we are married?" She eased her tone, pulled Mu Ning to sit down, and said: "What's more, this is Daiyu's maternal ancestral home after all, even if the second wife has some bad thoughts, but I see, the old lady really loves her, and she really loves her. If you dote on her, she's afraid she won't leave."

"But have you ever thought about yourself?" Mu Ning said angrily seeing that she only thought about others.

"Me?" Lin Jing raised her eyebrows, pointed at herself and smiled, "Do you think I'll get married?"

Mu Ning's heart trembled, he pursed his lips and didn't answer, only to hear Lin Jing say again: "If I like someone, I don't care so much, I will try my best to get him." Lin Jing's eyes were crooked, smiling It looks very good-looking. Hearing her seemingly arrogant words at this moment, Mu Ning always felt a little uncomfortable.

Lin Jing then sighed: "But I think, I'm afraid I won't like anyone in this life." She said with a smile and bent her lips: "But that's fine, with my status, no one would like it. "

The corners of Mu Ning's lips trembled, but he didn't say anything.

It was late at night, Lin Jing yawned a little, Mu Ning moved his body, took out a recipe, pursed his lips and said, "I found this from the head of the imperial dining room, and I gave it to you." See Lin Jing stared, and Mu Ning said with a stern face, "I heard from Wen Jin that you were learning to make soup earlier." His ears were slightly red, and he felt more and more uncomfortable. He stuffed the recipe into Lin Jing's hands and turned over. leave.

Lin Jing leaned out and took a look, then smiled and shook her head and muttered, "It's the first time I've heard of someone sending a recipe." But she liked it very much.

The next day, Lin Jing was leaning on the round chair to read a book, and Daiyu was standing at the table to write a poem. Today, the old lady looked at the sky, and specially set up a banquet for the girls to have a drink." As she spoke, she walked up to Daiyu, and said with a smile: "The old lady even asked someone to pick up Miss Shi. Come here, say it’s been a long time, and we’re having a lot of fun together, and we’re all in the old lady’s room right now.”

Lin Jing looked at Daiyu standing there in a daze, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, I didn't speak for a long time."

After hearing this, Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I was ill a few days ago and didn't go out much, but let my sister stay in the room with me." She walked to Lin Jing and pulled her She stood up and said, "My sister hasn't met Sister Yun yet, she is the most playful."

Lin Jing glanced at her reproachfully, and said, "It's a lively family, why bother me, an outsider, to join in the fun." She waved her hand and said, "Just go and have fun, and don't pay attention to me."

Lian Rui came in from the outside, put down the copper basin in her hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't stay in the yard, we are living in the mansion now, the old lady sent someone to invite, if we don't go, it doesn't look good Looks good." She glanced at Zijuan, and said: "If the girl feels uncomfortable, just treat it as going to eat fruit and listen to an opera."

Lin Jing thought for a while, then sighed lightly, and said, "Forget it, I don't know anyone anyway, so I'm just going to have lunch."

Daiyu nodded with a smile, "That's the reason." She walked to Lin Jing's side, and said, "My sister and I are the same. If the old lady is not considerate, I don't know what it is now."

Lin Jing glanced at her before asking, "If I leave Rongguo Mansion someday, will my sister be with me?"

Daiyu seemed a little surprised, she stared and said: "Where is sister going?" Her eyes were red, "I made it difficult for my sister, my sister and her cousin are in Beijing, if my sister wants to go, don't worry about me. "

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Jing glared at her reproachfully, "I haven't said anything yet, your tears are falling, and you think I've bullied you?" She sighed softly, Touching Daiyu's head, she said: "My sister just listen to me, even if my sister wants to leave here, I will always arrange you properly." She squinted her eyes, and then said: "I didn't give you my son earlier. I said, I was afraid that you would be sad, and the matter of turning over the package was about the second wife's work. Although there is no evidence now, it is not far from it." Seeing that Daiyu was silent, Lin Jing said again: "You and Baoyu have been together since childhood. Love is good, love is good, I can't say whether Baoyu is wrong, it's just..."

Lin Jing pursed her lips, looked at Daiyu and said seriously: "I can see that the second wife likes Baochai more than you." Seeing Daiyu's downcast eyes, she knew that she understood, so she said again: "The second wife is Baoyu. Mother, if she doesn't like you, I'm afraid you and Baoyu won't be able to make it together."

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about!" Daiyu's eyes turned red with anger, and she turned her head in disbelief and said, "I only treat him as an older brother. If sister speaks nonsense, I will never pay attention to you again."

Lin Jing smiled, and said again: "It doesn't matter if you are talking nonsense, I just want you to know, don't lose your heart with Baoyu."

The two had just arrived at Rongguo Mansion, and they heard laughter from inside from a distance. The little girl had already opened the curtain and shouted inside, and after greeting the old lady, she introduced Lin Jing to everyone.

Lin Jing, Grandma You of Dongfu, met her before. The woman sitting next to her looked at Mian Shan, but she didn't recognize her. The old lady smiled and said, "This is your second aunt's natal sister-in-law, sit next to her." It's my nephew's daughter-in-law, and your sister Yun's aunt." The old lady looked very happy, and introduced her according to Daiyu's name. After all, she was personally raised by Mrs. Zhao, who was considered a wealthy family in Beijing back then.

She and Daiyu bowed to everyone one by one, and threw a basketful of good words at the two of them. No one knew what they were talking about but what they were thinking.

Lin Jing acted as if she didn't see their hypocrisy, and obediently retreated to the side after saluting. Xiangyun called Brother Ai to introduce her because she had never seen her before.

Lin Jing is considered a big girl now, Daiyu is quiet, and the two can chat and laugh together, but Xiangyun seems a little noisy, which makes Lin Jing a little displeased, but she is no more serious than Xiangyun. It's not good for her to shame her relatives, just pretend that she didn't hear.

Due to the large number of people, there were people who followed and flattered the old lady, she seemed very happy, when it came to concubine Xiande, everyone praised her.

Lin Jing slowly picks up the vegetables, thinking to herself, this Jia Shi Wang Xue, the four great families are all prosperous, all are prosperous and all are damaged. Now that the Jia family has a virtuous concubine, the other three families are obviously very happy. I'm afraid I can't eat.

Sure enough, when the old lady talked about the scene of picking up her relatives, Shi Shi, the wife of Wang Ziteng, laughed and said: "This is disrespectful, we personally took care of you and grew up, and now we can have this good luck. The glory of the four families." As she spoke, she took out a gift envelope and said with a smile: "This can be regarded as a little bit of my heart as an elder."

The old lady showed satisfaction and thanked Yuanchun with a smile. Then Aunt Xue and Shi Sushi also put on the gift seals. Everyone laughed and said compliments. Lin Jing slowly put down her chopsticks and looked at the situation coldly. The bustling scene made me sneer endlessly.
