The Double Soul of Red Mansions

Chapter 31 Superficial

The Jia family is indeed a master at watching people order food. On the second day, Jia Zheng brought Mrs. Wang and three girls from the mansion to Lin's mansion.

"What?" Lin Daiyu and Li Mochou had just returned from practicing martial arts in the bamboo grove in the southeast corner of their yard when they heard Xueyan say that Jia Zheng and his wife and Sanchun had arrived.

"Girl, my lord has asked someone to bring the second wife and the three girls over, and said that I want you to receive them. He is receiving the second master himself in the study." Xueyan said.

"I'm going back to my room first." Li Mochou glanced at Lin Daiyu sympathetically, then turned around and walked along Lin Daiyu's room through the veranda to a row of three houses at the back, and said before leaving, "You don't have to What are you talking about, from my point of view, your relatives can be said to be cannibals. If there are still such presumptuous behaviors as yesterday, you can directly take action."

Daiyu nodded, Xueyan looked at Li Mochou's back with bright eyes and said: "Girl, is this sister Li complaining about Zijuan?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Yes, it's just a cold face and a warm heart."

Li Mochou regards Lin Daiyu as her younger sister, and regards the Lin family as her family, so she is very angry at the behavior of her own being kicked and injured by outsiders.Lin Daiyu still remembered that Li Mochou took out a bottle of medicine from her bosom indifferently yesterday and gave it to Zijuan. She was obviously concerned but Zijuan was scared to death because of her cold face.

"Girl, they're here." Xueyan looked at Mrs. Wang and Sanchun who were brought over by the servant girl and said in a low voice, "I've asked the servant girl to prepare a snack, which is in the East Wing."

The three east rooms in Daiyu's courtyard have been converted into reception rooms, while the west room is Daiyu's room. After the three rooms in the main room are opened, Daiyu's room is obviously much more spacious. The rooms of Yan and Yan are in the east and west wings between Daiyu's room and Li Mochou's room. Although they are only two rooms in size, it is very spacious for the two of them to live alone.How can I say that this treatment is much better than that of Sanchun in Jia's Mansion.

When Mrs. Wang arrived, she looked at the bandage on Daiyu's hand and cursed in her heart that she deserved it, but she said with concern: "What's wrong with Yu'er? When your second sister-in-law came back to the house yesterday, she said that my aunt I'm really worried about you."

Yingchun behind Mrs. Wang lowered her head and said nothing, thinking about everything in the mansion during this period of time, which servants are not whispering about Lin Daiyu below, she understands these Yingchun better than anyone else, but she knows her own Position, used to be the silent person.

"Yu'er is so tired that my second aunt is worried. I'm really sorry." Lin Daiyu's ability to play with flower guns is also getting more and more proficient, "Second aunt and sisters are sitting."

Inviting the four of them to sit down, Daiyu made people serve the tea that Li Lin Hai brought back from the palace yesterday and said with a smile: "This is the new tea that Li Sheng gave Daddy yesterday, and he said it was a tribute. I tasted it very well. Dad gave me some. How is Second Aunt doing?"

Daiyu just thinks it's good to be able to suppress Mrs. Wang with the things in the palace.When she first arrived in Jia's Mansion before, she was oppressed like this at that time.Now that her identity has eased, Daiyu really wants to know what Mrs. Wang thinks.

Mrs. Wang's psychological quality is very good, the expression on her face remains unchanged, but she is actually thinking in her heart that what Wang Xifeng said yesterday was right, and this Lin Hai is now very much valued by the sage.It seems that I can reconsider Daiyu as my daughter-in-law.Thinking of Baoyu, Mrs. Wang was still a little nervous, but now that Baoyu had become silent and stupid, she really hated Daiyu, the chief culprit.

"Yu'er said that your father is also in the capital, but you have no elders to educate you, why don't you follow your second aunt back to the house?" Mrs. Wang smiled slightly, put the tea in her hand on the table gently and said, "Your grandmother These days I'm worried that you won't be able to sleep at night, and I knew you were injured yesterday, so I wanted to pick you up in person. But you also know that she is old, so the second aunt stopped her. "

Lin Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang calmly. She might not understand all the medicines sold in the gourd, but Lin Daiyu didn't want to make it so clear. From the moment she came out, she never thought about going back.

"When I recover from my injury, I will definitely go to see my ancestors." The injury on Daiyu's hand is actually not a problem, and she and Li Mochou went to practice swords in the bamboo forest in the backyard today.But since when she returned to Beijing, so many eyes knew behind her back that she was injured, so she simply used her plan to disturb everyone's hearing and hearing.As for her martial arts, Lin Daiyu felt that she could hide it for a while, and at this critical moment, she could pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

"Yu'er, Second Aunt wants to ask you something." Mrs. Wang asked tentatively.

"Second aunt is polite, please tell me." Lin Daiyu smiled and greeted Sanchun for tea and snacks.In fact, she would rather read books, play chess, and draw pictures with Sanchun than make false claims with Mrs. Wang here.

"When you were taken away, did you see that someone took Baoyu away?" Mrs. Wang said.

Lin Daiyu smiled mockingly in her heart, look, abducted, the Jia family has not dared to justify her name until now, the girl has a sign of being abducted, which will suffer a lot when talking about marriage.When she learned about Jia's words from Lin Hai, she was also very disappointed for a long time, but fortunately, Lin Hai was fine, so Daiyu no longer cared about these small actions of Jia's.

In this world, as long as there is power, who can post it eagerly? Lin Daiyu always believes that as long as her father is high and powerful, sensible people can see clues from Jia's rhetoric.

"Baoyu's things?" Lin Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang blankly and said, "Isn't Baoyu's things all looked at by Xiren? Shouldn't you ask Xiren if you lost something?"

Lin Daiyu's innocent expression made Mrs. Wang very angry. The fairy girl at home said that Lin Daiyu took it, but now she still refuses to admit it. Mrs. Wang's hands under the sleeves were tightly clenched, and she secretly told herself to calm down.Today is to connect with the relationship, don't do anything bad.

How could it be possible for Mrs. Wang's things to be hidden from the ears of Daiyu who has practiced martial arts now, she is very disdainful of Mrs. Wang's hypocrisy.

"Second aunt, it's not that I, Yu'er, is troublesome. This Baoyu is in the grandmother's room, and there are so many maids watching, so people can take things away. This must be rectified." Lin Daiyu pretended to be very upset. She said angrily, "I've always kept something in my heart. Since my second aunt talked about it today, Yu'er stopped hiding it. After all, we are all relatives."

Mrs. Wang really wanted to tell Lin Daiyu to shut up, but she has always been a person who pretends to be a bodhisattva, so she forced herself to hold back her breath.

"It's not easy for my grandfather to build such a big foundation. We can't let the slaves destroy the foundation of this mansion." Lin Daiyu smiled, "I have been to the Duke of Qi's mansion more than once, but the rules of the Duke of Qi's mansion are top-notch. Good. The master is the master, so how can the slaves be more polite. Now that there are noble people in the grandfather's family, it should be rectified. Who knows that the emperor is the most respectful of rules, second aunt, don't you think so?"

Lin Daiyu knew how frustrating Mrs. Wang would be if her words made her angry, but could she say that she did it on purpose?

Mrs. Wang was blocked by Daiyu's words and didn't know how to answer.No matter how you answer these words, it is wrong, to say yes is to admit that the Jia family has no rules, to say no, it is to offend the Holy Majesty.Mrs. Wang is really mad at Lin Daiyu now.

"You guys haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk and let the maid take the second aunt around to look around?" Mrs. Wang endured her skills and stood up from the stool with a smile.

Daiyu smiled and waved to call the little maid outside, and after a few words of advice, she was taken out by Mrs. Wang.

As soon as Mrs. Wang left, the atmosphere in the room immediately cooled down.Yingchun has always been serious, but Tanchun has not recovered from the confrontation between the two just now, while Xichun starts to look at the layout of Daiyu's reception room with an attitude of having nothing to do with her.

"From now on, the sisters will come here often, and I'm usually alone here, so it's so deserted." Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "How are you doing these days?"

"Sister Lin, you really don't know Baoyu has lost jade?" Tanchun asked.

"What does it have to do with me if Baoyu loses the jade? I don't go to his place on weekdays. Besides, Xiren keeps it as a treasure every time. Don't you think it's strange to ask me after losing it?" Lin Daiyu looked Looking at Tanchun, he smiled and said, "Forget it, I know you care about Brother Bao."

Embarrassment flashed across Tanchun's face, and she somehow felt that Daiyu had run her over.But now Daiyu's identity is not what it used to be, she can only pretend that she didn't understand anything.

"Sister Lin, can I go to your study?" Xichun said out to Tanchun, "Sister Lin is the most elegant, the reception room is like this, and the study is even more amazing."

As for Xichun, Daiyu just thinks that sometimes she sees everything very clearly, there is neither sadness nor joy in her eyes, as if she doesn't care about everything.

Daiyu sighed secretly and smiled: "Let's go, I got a lot of new pens, inks, papers and inkstones, all of which were rewarded by the sage, and I will take some back when you leave. Especially Xichun, you can also paint on weekdays." Useful."

When Xichun heard this, a very sincere smile appeared on her face. She has always been very keen on painting, and Lin Daiyu was just like her, so she was very happy in her heart.

Mrs. Wang really didn't like the layout of Lin's residence.There is no way, Lin's mansion followed the gentleness and simplicity of Jiangnan, while Jia's mansion followed the magnificence.

Mrs. Wang walked around casually, and the anger in her heart was replaced by a sense of superiority, so what about Yipin?That is still incomparable to Jia's mansion.Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang no longer showed any anger on her face, she walked around Lin's residence with a trace of undetected disdain.
