The Five Girls of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Zhao openly opened the warehouse of the Rose Garden, and her dowry was locked in the warehouse. Although the key was in her hand, it was no different from having no key. The old lady also had a key in her hand. She used the dowry to subsidize Lin Jiaquan herself, and she only hoped that he would be able to succeed outside and not have to rely on his brother and sister-in-law to live in the future, but after the Zhao family disappeared, the dowry became her reliance to survive in the Lin family, so the old lady took the warehouse She has always turned a blind eye to the things in her heart, and only hopes that for the sake of these dowry, there will be a place for her to live.

Therefore, she didn't open the door of the warehouse very often, so what if she saw it?It's just adding trouble.

The husband's family greedy the daughter-in-law's dowry, no matter where it is, it is a despicable act. The old lady Yan who guards the warehouse is an old man of the Lin family, and she is considered a servant. She was quite surprised when she saw Mrs. Zhao bringing someone , hurriedly leaned forward and smiled: "Second wife, why did you think of this today? If you need anything in the courtyard, just ask someone to say it. Wouldn't it be good to let the little girl send it?"

Mrs. Zhao didn't refute her words, and said with a smile: "It's getting cold now, and sister Jing is getting older, so it's time to cut some more winter clothes to wear. I remember there are pieces of river silk sables. The leather jacket and the squirrel leather robe, I thought about using them to make clothes for my sister, and by the way, I also brought a pair of red gold silk collars, and I also used them to make a collar for my sister, after all, the style is a bit old."

The corners of Mrs. Yan's mouth twitched slightly, but she forced herself to speak: "There are so many things in this warehouse, and I can't find them for a while. The second wife will go back first, and the old slave will let the girl find it and send it to the second wife." But there was no mention of opening the door.

Mrs. Zhao took a look at Mrs. Yan, and the smile on the corner of her mouth didn't change a bit, "No need, since you're here, you can just look for it yourself. Nanny, go and rest."

How can Mrs. Yan agree to Mrs. Zhao's entry? This is Mrs. Zhao's dowry, but there is no way to stop her, and she suddenly said in a daze, "Second wife, the ancestor said earlier that he would cut winter clothes for his sister. I'm afraid I will send it to my sister, why bother to go through all this." She frowned and said: "If this was discovered by outsiders, it might be thought that the second wife is dissatisfied with the ancestors." Trying Use the old lady to overwhelm her.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to laugh, but she laughed again. She just felt chilled. This was still her own dowry, but the woman in the house refused to open the door. Who was behind this? I'm afraid it has already become a joke.

Lin Jing was rather bored listening to them talking back and forth, she rolled her eyes and went straight to the door, fiddled with it for a while, then pushed the mahogany door open with a creaking sound, and Mrs. Yan's complexion changed drastically. , but Lin Jing ignored her, tilted her head towards Mrs. Zhao and said, "Mother, come in."

The corners of Zhao's mouth curled up a bit, nodded, and led the people in. Mrs. Yan gave the little girl a wink, but Zhao didn't notice it. The more people come, the better. If there are fewer people, this will happen The play isn't good enough yet.

Zhao took a look, and knew that the dowry was short, and the red sandalwood painted glass five screens alone disappeared. The corner of Zhao's mouth curled up with a sneer, and his face changed drastically. He took out a booklet and said: "What's the matter, so many things are missing! Check it out for me! Check it out one by one!" Her reaction was really beyond Mrs. Yan's expectations. Since the Zhao family is gone, so much dowry is just a piece of fat Well, who in the family doesn't want to take a bite? With the Zhao family alone, how can she keep it? She also understands when she thinks about it. It's all about buying peace with her dowry. In this back house, it is so simple to want a person with no background to disappear silently.

Lin Jing blinked her eyes, looked at Zhao's anger, and was a little puzzled, "Mother?"

Mrs. Zhao stroked her little head, shook her head slightly, Lin Jing pursed her lips, and only watched Lianrui leading the people to check the list one by one, and finally realized that all of this was Damn, but she was coveted by someone, it's just hateful.

In Lin Jing's mind, she is the only one who takes other people's things, and no one has ever taken things from her hands!

Lin Jing immediately walked up to Mrs. Yan, and hit her directly like a small cannonball. Mrs. Yan didn't pay attention to this little girl at first, but now she is a little impressed. Although this girl is small, she is really strong. , and directly let Mrs. Yan dodge her waist and squat down on the ground, screaming.

The old lady came by coincidence, when she heard the little girl's summons, the whole storehouse could hear the sound of needles dropping, only Lin Jing was left arrogantly stepping on the face of Mrs Yan, and even twisted it, saying: "Let you Greedy for my mother's things! I'm so ambitious, you dare to touch my young master's things!" Lin Jing learned this from the boy in the family, and she felt it was extraordinarily prestige.

Mrs. Zhao almost fainted when she heard this, she quickly pulled the little girl over, glared at her, nodded her nose, and hurriedly greeted the trembling old lady, but her heart was not the same as before. As flustered, it was extraordinarily peaceful.

The old lady stared, seeing Mrs. Yan who fell on the ground and couldn't get up, she just felt a severe pain in her face, especially the little footprints on Mrs. Yan's face, it was like stepping on her own face, and what I said, I'm afraid It is also pointing at Sang and scolding Huai!

"What's going on here?" The old lady tightly grasped Zhu Qing's arm, causing Zhu Qing to frown in pain, but she didn't dare to speak. It's in her house.

The old lady took a deep breath, and looked at Mrs. Zhao with burning eyes, "I heard that there is a lot of commotion here, let me take a look." She said and looked at Mrs. Yan, and said angrily, "You are so brave, How on earth did you provoke the second wife and let her get so angry!" The voice gradually softened, "Who in our family doesn't know that the second wife is a charitable person, you get up and let my old lady listen , What kind of outrageous thing did you do that needs to be beaten and scolded."

Lin Jing was quite unhappy being stopped by Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao was frightened to death by her daughter, for fear that she would say something outrageous. This Mrs. Yan belongs to the old lady. In this society, even a cat or dog kept in the old lady's house is not the same. They are more valuable than those from outside, not to mention those who serve the old lady, no one will give them some face when they go out.

She was afraid that the old lady would accuse Lin Jing of this matter, her eyes were dark, and she knelt down and kowtowed: "The old lady wants to make decisions for her daughter-in-law. This old lady is guarding the warehouse and stealing from herself. She even slandered the old lady. He and the master stole the daughter-in-law's dowry, the daughter-in-law would not believe it, the old lady has the key to the storehouse in her hand, if she sees something, just tell the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law will be filial, there is no need for it Steal."

"Daughter-in-law, what you said is that this small treasury stores your dowry. You keep the key. Where did I get the key?" The old lady's complexion turned dark, but she still had to say something clearly , She sighed, and said: "Mrs. Yan is an old man of the Lin family, and she can't do this self-stealing thing even if she thinks about it. You go back first. If Mrs. Yan is really a self-stealing, just hand her over to you, but I won't do it." Say more."

Zhao's eyes flickered, but today she wanted to make the matter real, otherwise she wouldn't know what she would say in the future. She never cared about the affairs of the house, but it was not because she didn't know. Now she only dares to use Lian Rui alone, which has a lot to do with the dowry list. It's not that she didn't send a girl to serve in the Rose Garden, but she dare not use it, and she can't use it anymore. Although there are fewer people, it will be harder. But at least she can feel at ease in this yard. It's not much better than when someone steals the dowry list, and she will really have nothing at that time.

Wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, Mrs. Zhao cried and said, "Old lady, just take a look, how can this dowry list in black and white be fake?" Look, what's left of it now."

There was a little sweat on Zhu Qing's forehead, and she hurried to Zhao's side, "Sister, let's talk about it, it's not worth such a fuss." She looked at Mrs. Yan, her eyes deepened, and now she is afraid Only by sacrificing Mrs. Yan can she and her aunt be able to get away, otherwise, if there is really news about the corrupt dowry list, she will not be happy, "Aunt has always been charitable, how could she do such a thing?" , it must be that woman who deceived her superiors and her inferiors, guarding herself and stealing."

"Come on, take this old woman out and send her away. A family like ours cannot keep such a vigilante." As soon as Zhu Qing finished speaking, someone directly covered Mrs. Yan's mouth and wanted to drag her out.

"Wait!" Zhao Shi bit her lip and said angrily, "Old lady, all the wives are here, so it's your concubine's turn to make irresponsible remarks."

A flash of humiliation flashed in Zhu Qing's eyes, and she stood beside the old lady a little aggrieved. At this time, Mrs. Chen stepped forward, without even looking at Zhu Qing, and said, "This matter must be investigated carefully, according to our Daqing Dynasty According to the rules, this dowry is the private property of the daughter-in-law, and the in-laws have no right to intervene." She looked at Zhu Qing and said, "The concubine said that the poor things were stolen by Mrs. Yan, so after all, she wanted to take all these things. Chased back."

Mrs. Zhao took a look at Mrs. Chen, took a step forward, and said sadly, "The other things are not worth it, but there are a pair of Ru kiln beauty shrugging vases, and a white jade carved pine and crane figure." The screen was bestowed by a sage, even I dare not display it easily, if it is lost, none of us will be able to account for it.”

Mrs. Chen was surprised, this Zhao family seemed to have a lot of wealth, even her dowry did not have any gifts from the emperor, but this Mrs. Zhao's temperament was too weak, no wonder she couldn't keep her dowry with such a temperament.

"What?!" Mrs. Lin almost fainted, and she never thought that there would be a gift from the emperor.
