Red Mansions: No Tears

When Lin Yu and Lin Daiyu returned home, the butler Lin came over and said to Lin Yu: "The old lady sent a few women over, saying that the old lady hadn't seen the eldest girl for a long time, and she missed the eldest girl very much, and she didn't know that the eldest lady came back. The queen of the mansion is doing well, so I want to ask the eldest girl to go over and let her have a look."

"What are you looking at?! On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Madam Su went to deliver the New Year's gift, didn't she tell her that the eldest girl was unwell? It was because of the cold weather that I refused to ask her to go out, so I just sent her away. The gift went to the Rongguo government to make an apology, but she is a direct maternal grandmother. So far, no one has been sent to take care of her, and now she still thinks that Yu'er is sick to show her? Fortunately, Yu'er is not seriously ill, otherwise, why not let her Looking for an opportunity to discredit me for not knowing how to take care of Yu'er?" Lin Yu glared, the joy of wandering around the street just now disappeared without a trace, and he thought in his heart: Jia's family really knows how to make people unhappy by looking at the timing!

Butler Lin twitched the corner of his mouth weakly. What he really didn't want to say was that the so-called 'sickness' of the eldest girl was actually just coughing twice inadvertently on the morning of the second day of the new year, and the uncle heard her, and the uncle said that she was not allowed to go out. Originally planned to go to the Rongguo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to relatives and seniors, but the uncle directly waived it, and only increased the New Year's ceremony by two points, and let Su Momo bring a few women to go there.

However, when Su Momo came back, she told everyone that Jia's mother didn't ask much about Lin Daiyu's illness, she just patronized and coaxed the second master Bao beside her, and the second master Bao said, "Why don't you see?" Sister Lin is here, what is an old woman doing here?Did the uncle of the Lin family lock up sister Lin?Sure enough, Lu bei is Lu bei, and he wants to follow those hard-working scholars and abide by those dead rules. ', those words made Madam Su very angry, and she only missed a sentence: I have the ability to tell you these things to me!

Lin Daiyu also had the urge to caress her forehead, but after all she was much calmer than Lin Yu, so she didn't do that. She just replied lightly: "Since the old lady has sent someone here, it's New Year's Eve again. Yes, as a junior, if I don't go to say hello, it will be bad for my family's reputation, so I should go tomorrow."

After hearing this, Lin Yu asked casually, "Then shall I go with you?"

"Forget it, I'm afraid they don't recognize you as a relative from the bottom of their hearts. What are you going to do? Instead of wasting time there, it's better to study more at home with Brother Jiang Qi." Lin Daiyu shook her head disapprovingly. Refused.

That's right, when Mother Jia sent someone, she only said to ask Lin Daiyu to go to Rongguo Duke's Mansion, but she never mentioned Lin Yu from the beginning to the end, presumably she never acknowledged Lin Yu's identity at all.

"Ayu, Miss Lin has lived in the Rongguo Mansion for so long, and she is still able to take care of herself so far. It is obvious that her ability is not as useless as her weak appearance. Besides, Miss Lin went there, at most, she stayed in the history. Where is the old matriarch or in the inner courtyard, do you still want to learn from the behavior of Second Master Bao, and stay in the inner courtyard like him?" Jiang Ke persuaded Lin Yu with a smile in his heart.

"Brother Seven~ You are the youngest son in the family, you don't understand the feeling of worrying about your younger siblings~~." Lin Yu sighed resentfully, thinking to himself, he just wanted to keep poor sister Lin away from the Jia family Is it easy for that group of top players? !is it easy? !But the damned blood relationship will always be parted.

"Really!? Then you and I didn't say anything." Jiang Ke gritted his teeth and replied with a tense face. He only felt that Lin Yu was showing off brightly!To show off that he has a beautiful, gentle and considerate sister, hum!But it doesn't matter, in at most two years, his good sister will become his wife, and then he will be jealous of himself! !

Fortunately, Lin Daiyu didn't know about Jiang Ke's mental activities at this time, otherwise she would have sighed: As expected, "the one who is close to the vermilion is red, and the one who is close to the ink is black". Crooked day….

In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Daiyu went out to Rongguo Duke's Mansion. A group of people came to the corner gate of Rongguo Duke's Mansion. Because they all took a simple donkey cart, the tone of the gatekeeper seemed rather impatient. My mother-in-law made it clear from the beginning that it was Lin Daiyu who had come, and I was afraid that the other party would not report to her.

But even so, before Lin Daiyu came to Jia Mu's yard, many people already believed from Lin Daiyu's simple clothes that Lin Daiyu must not have had a good life in Jia's house since she returned to Lin's house, and they all wondered whether Lin Daiyu would Will come and never leave.

"Yu'er has come to pay her respects to the old lady." Lin Daiyu asked Xueyan to take off the cloak she was wearing. Today she asked Ziyun to find her the most ordinary clothes to wear when she went out, causing a lot of trouble. Ziyun still thought about it for a long time, how could she dress so plainly when she went to someone’s house, and she was obviously not sick, why did she always curse that she was not in good health, and that Jia’s house was not a good place, her girl Why do you have nothing to do but take the initiative to come to the door and be bullied by others, etc., and then pouted while watching Lin Daiyu go out...

That's right, because Ziyun was too noisy today, it was unfortunate that Lin Daiyu was selected as the left-behind person. Lin Daiyu only took Xueyan and two little maids with her, as well as Nanny Yu and two rough envoys. Zuo Zuo is no longer the daughter of an official family, so naturally she doesn't need the big ostentation of 20 people like Wang Xifeng, but after all, as a woman in the inner house, she can't live without someone to accompany her, so she brings these people with her , Thinking of such a number of people, it should be considered very important, right?And in the end, the only ones who could really follow her into Jiamu's room were Xueyan and Yumao.

But it's just like this, some people think it's hard to see, no... As soon as Lin Daiyu stepped into the upper room of Jiamu Courtyard, Mrs. Wang glanced at Xueyan and Yumao behind Lin Daiyu several times, and then put on a look With a face that was really thinking about her niece, she said sourly: "Oh! I said Yu girl! How many years has Mrs. Lin gone, who doesn't know that the situation of the Lin family is not as good as before, even though it costs a lot to raise a few women and maids. It’s not a lot of silver taels, but after years of saving, it’s a lot of money, isn’t it? As a younger sister, you should make plans for Brother Lin’s brother, right? Look at you who are so pompous... you really don’t lose at all A few girls in our family."

"What the second aunt said is exactly what Yu'er said. Yu'er also feels that the family is not as good as before. It is too wasteful to keep a group of people, especially when Yu'er has a dozen or so people around her. Which one doesn't need to eat and dress? It's a pity that my brother is right. In this regard, he is very stubborn. He thinks that Yu'er is the daughter of a noble family and a scholarly family. How can she really be a commoner? Even if she can't afford an overly luxurious appearance, she can't. It’s so casual that you can’t even take one or two maids out.” Lin Daiyu ignored the sourness in Mrs. Wang’s tone, and just replied with a smile.

Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang out of the corner of her eyes, and said in a light tone: "Although that is the case, it is not what it used to be. There are indeed some money that should not be spent. Otherwise... I will send one or two maids from me to serve you." , the same as my people, this way, you don’t need to spend an extra amount of money, and you have the face you should have when you go out.”

"Yu'er can only accept the old lady's kindness. After all, in addition to the regular money, there are also clothing expenses throughout the year and daily food and drink expenses. That is also a sum of money, right? And the Lin family is no more than Yu'er and The elder brother and the two masters have never had the opportunity to reward the servants, unlike here, the maids and women always have to run errands for the master every day, and they will be rewarded for their work. I don’t know how beautiful it is! But If the people from the old lady's place are really allocated to Yu'er to serve them, they will lose these opportunities, and Yu'er is really afraid that they will complain that Yu'er is harsh on them in the future." Lin Daiyu tilted her head, seemed to think about it seriously, and then With a look of regret, he declined Jiamu's kindness.

Jia's mother frowned slightly. She didn't like to be refuted by others, and immediately wanted to reprimand Lin Daiyu. At this moment, Jia Baoyu rushed in from the door, and hurriedly shouted: "Old lady, I heard Sister Lin is here, is it true?!"

"Of course it's true. Look, isn't Yu'er sitting there?" When Jia Mu saw Jia Baoyu, she naturally had a different look, as kind as she could be.

"Sister Lin, why didn't you come back after you left? I miss you! You won't leave when you come back today, right?" Jia Baoyu turned his head, and when he saw Lin Daiyu, he immediately walked up, making gestures to pull Lin Daiyu's hand.

Lin Daiyu retreated slightly, narrowly avoiding Jia Baoyu's claws, and then said with a slight smile: "Yu'er just came to greet the old lady. She was not feeling well a few days ago, so she couldn't come to greet the old lady and the two in person. My aunt paid New Year's greetings, so I made a special trip here today to make up for it, and after paying New Year's greetings to them, I will naturally have to go home."

"Go back?! Why do you go back? Don't go back! If you don't like living in that small courtyard, why don't you live in the garden! It depends on which courtyard you want to live in. You can tell me whatever you want. You are very welcome." Jia Baoyu persuaded anxiously.

"Brother Bao, stop joking. Yu'er is not a homeless person. How can she always live here? Besides, the places where the sisters live are not too big. What's the point of living with another Yu'er?" How does it look like? Besides, we can’t let outsiders know about it. It’s such a big place that you can’t even move out the formal courtyard where a guest lives.” Lin Daiyu smiled and replied solemnly.

"But, but I don't want you to go! Isn't it good for the sisters to play together? Why do you want to go back to the Lin family? I heard from them that there is no one in the Lin family now, and you live alone. How can it be fun?" Jia Baoyu An annoyed and puzzled authentic.

"What do you mean our Lin family is empty? Am I not a human being? My brother is not a human being? Although Daddy is not here, it does not mean that there is no one in the Lin family. It is so unreasonable for Second Brother Bao to say such a thing!" Lin Daiyu really didn't understand Thinking of Jia Baoyu's hard work, she had an excuse to say goodbye without any effort, she immediately seized the opportunity, angrily followed Jia Baoyu's words, and retorted angrily.

"What's there to be angry about, girl Yu? Baoyu's words are true! If Mrs. Lin hadn't found the heir before she died, wouldn't the Lin family be empty? After all, no matter how good the girl's family is, it's useless." Mrs. Xing seemed As if finally finding an opportunity to express himself, he interjected coolly.

"Old man! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!" Jia's mother tapped on her crutch as if warning, and gave Xing Shi another sidelong glance.

Jia's mother wanted to calm things down, but Lin Daiyu didn't intend to do so. Her eyes were red, and she looked up at Jia's mother as if she had been greatly wronged, and said with a sob: "Old lady, Yu'er knows that she didn't come to greet you a few days ago. It's Yu'er's fault to pay New Year's call, but you can't say that there is no one in the Lin family, even if your father didn't have a step-brother, wouldn't Yu'er be useless?! Come to think of it...there is no one in this house He treats Yu'er sincerely, otherwise, how could... Forget it! I have met the old lady today, and I know the old lady, as long as I am well, Yu'er... Yu'er will not bother you."

As soon as Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she immediately got up and saluted Jiamu again, then hurriedly turned and ran out, regardless of how eagerly Jia Baoyu shouted behind her to tell her not to go. ?
