Hearing someone calling in front of his house, Li Sen was startled: "Mother, it's Miss Hua's voice."

Her mother was about to walk out of the house quickly, and told him: "Don't show that look, be careful to scare the girl." Li Sen made his mother dare not look up, thinking that he went to the girl's house just now. No, it's a little reckless.

At this time, Mother Li had already opened the door for Pearl, and she saw the girl carrying his tea set in her hand, and the servant followed behind, holding four-color gifts.Pearl smiled and said: "I came to the house twice, and I bothered Aunt Li both times. I'm really sorry, and I hope Aunt Li don't dislike a few snacks."

Li's mother only felt that Zhenzhu acted generously, and the more she looked at her, the more she loved her, and she kept saying: "It's just a few words, the girl is too polite."

Pearl didn't know what the Li family's mother and son were thinking, so she just said, "Last time, my aunt reminded me to visit the chief security officer's house. It's just that I was too busy that day, so I asked my aunt to tell me where the chief security officer's house is. , I should pay a visit today."

Seeing that Pearl took her words to heart, Li's mother felt that her face was brighter, and she thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to come to the door alone, so let me go this trip with you." No matter what happened to Pearl Decline, just go out with Pearl.

After Zhenzhu paid a visit to the security chief and resigned from Li's mother, she took Qiaoyun's servants back to her home.There was no one around, so she only whispered to Qiao Yun: "This person in your family, it's better not to let him go out to do errands."

Qiaoyun's family all started their careers in the Rongguo Mansion, and they are well aware of these things. Hearing what Pearl said, he will take care of it without mentioning it.

After this time, Zhenzhu didn't show up in Taolin Hutong again for two or three months.There is no other reason, but one thing that is different from the original book: Yingchun actually made an engagement with the concubine of the Duke of Zhen's mansion.One thing is the same as the original book: Grandma Xiaorong in Ningguo Mansion is gone.

Just like the original book, Qin Keqing's funeral was so beautiful that even the servants in the Rongguo Mansion were busy with their backs. Even the girl from the inner house like Zhu Zhen went to the mansion several times with her own girl to offer sacrifices.

Pearl pays attention to seeing the Fourth Girl's actions in Ning Mansion, only to realize that she really thinks she is from Rongguo Mansion.Every day, I walk and rest with my sisters, and I don't want to do more things or say more words.That grandma You didn't take care of her sister-in-law specifically, what kind of conversation did she do, and she didn't care about Yingchun Tanchun, nor did she treat Xichun.

Pearl’s perception of Qin Keqing is similar to that of other characters in the original book—she always ignores people who are of no use to her redemption, such as Jia Baoyu who should be her master in the original book, and Xue Baochai who treats her differently in the original book .So besides burning papers and offering incense with her girl, she felt that she was completing her daily work.

But Xichun shouldn't be like this: that's her niece and daughter-in-law, and she's also the lady of Ningguo Mansion.Pearl thinks that both Xichun and Ningguo Mansion have a problem with their attitudes, but they don't get to the bottom of it, as they have nothing to do with her redemption.

Apart from her own redemption, what worries Pearl now is Daiyu who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River.But although Daiyu treated her well, she was not her master. She couldn't always ask the second girl for news about Daiyu, and the second girl might not know as much as she did in the circle of servants.

That day Pearl heard Yuanyang talking about it, and Second Master Lian had already sent someone back to say that he would be able to disembark in Tongzhou the next day.Pearl's heart tightened, thinking that Daiyu would come back this time without parents, and still have a lot of money in her hands.I don't know if the words I said to Xueyan before leaving will be effective, and whether Lin Ruhai will make arrangements for Daiyu's future life.

When Daiyu really returned to Rongguo Mansion again, Pearl knew that her hard work was not in vain.Because on the second day after Daiyu came back, Xueyan had already come to look for Pearl.

Pearl pulled Xueyan to sit down, and then asked: "Miss Lin just came back and is tidying up the house. You are not busy in the house, why are you still here. Our days are still long, so there is nothing to say."

Xueyan smiled a little, and said to her: "If it was someone else, I would naturally be able to stay in the evening for a day or two, but it's different here, and the girl asked me to come earlier to thank you."

Pearl shook her head and said, "Miss Lin is too heretic."

Xueyan put the small box in her hand on the small kang table between the two of them: "It's not an outsider, not only our girl, but also our master, who is also grateful to my sister. These things were specially prepared by our master before he left. Confession, it must be handed over to you."

Pearl opened the box and saw a few pieces of paper inside, with the words 100 taels written on it.Xueyan said: "This is a bank note payable at sight by Datong Bank, please accept it, sister."

"How can this be?" Pearl hurriedly pushed the box towards Xueyan: "I haven't done anything, it's just a matter of talking with Miss Lin sometimes."

Xueyan shook her head, and pushed the box towards Pearl again: "It's not because you talked with the girl, but because of what you said to me when we went back to the south. After I went back that day, I found a place , and told the master about the girl's stay in the mansion. At that time, the master sent people to Beijing again, and later he didn't know what he said to the girl. The girl cried for a few days before slowly recovering."

"Then what arrangements does Uncle Lin have for Miss Lin in the future?" Pearl asked.

The smile on Xueyan's face became more at this time: "Yes. Just over half a month before the master left, Mr. Li, the left servant of the household department in Beijing, brought his young master to the house. The next day, The master made an engagement between the girl and Mr. Li."

Pearl's mouth was so shocked that she couldn't close it: "Miss Lin is engaged?"

Xueyan nodded affirmatively: "Not only is it engaged, but our master has already prepared the dowry for the girl. In addition, our master has sold all the property of the family, and he has also entered the will, and will put half of the family property on Hand it over to the state treasury. The other half was handed over to the Lin family clan, 5 taels, and the rest, in addition to the girl’s dowry, had to be handed over to the old lady for 20 taels as throwaway expenses before the girl got married.”

"The girl has already handed over the money to the old lady? Did Second Master Lian know when Young Master Lin sold his property? Did Second Master Lian know about Miss Lin's engagement?"

After hearing Pearl's question, Xueyan sighed: "No wonder the girl told me to come to you first. You are the only one who really misses our girl. The second master Lian has been paying attention to our family's property since he went to Yangzhou. If it weren't for the fact that Second Master Lian was too obvious, the master would not have believed what I said to the master immediately, and immediately sent someone to Beijing to inquire about the situation."

This second master Lian, really, how could he not treat himself as an outsider?Lin Ruhai, at any rate, is a second-rank official, can't tell which ones really want to help, and which ones are coveting his family's property?

It seems that Lin Ruhai sent people to Beijing at that time, not only to inquire about the situation of Rongguo Mansion, but also to contact his old friends.Only the Zuo Shilang of the household department took his son to Yangzhou in such a timely manner, and even made an appointment directly.

After thinking about it, Pearl still spoke out her thoughts: "The money given to the old lady can't be delayed for too long. It's better to finish the meal today or tomorrow, and the first wife and the second wife didn't go back to eat." At that time, I gave the silver to the old lady in front of everyone."

Xueyan was a little puzzled: "I'm afraid the old lady won't be happy if I give you money with white eyebrows and red eyes."

Pearl tapped Xueyan's forehead, and now she knew why Qiaoyun always liked to tap her forehead, and when she tapped other people's foreheads, she really had the feeling that her IQ was far superior to others.After ordering, she told Xueyan the reason:

"You know the people in this mansion. They have always praised the high and trampled the low, and their favorite is to chew their tongues. When that Miss Xue first entered the mansion, many people compared Miss Lin with her. It was because of others. For the sake of the Xue family's money? This time, Mrs. Lin is gone, but the girl has to observe filial piety before she can get married, and she will live in this mansion for a few years. In order to stop the mouth of the kicker, I have to hand over the money face to face .”

Xueyan suddenly realized: "Fortunately, I came to see you today, or because of our girl's reluctance to talk about money, I really have to quietly give the money to the old lady."

"The old lady should know about the girl's engagement, right?" There was no need to mention the matter of Yinzi, Pearl was concerned about another matter.

Xueyan nodded: "Our master wrote a letter to the old lady before he left, and it should have been mentioned in the letter. Or why the old lady will send Second Mistress Lian to tidy up the yard for her when our girl comes back this time. "

This old lady really hurts her ears and eyes when she gets on the sedan chair.The last time Daiyu came to the mansion, she didn't clean up the house alone.Now that Daiyu is entering the mansion again, and it is the period of her filial piety, she still hasn't prepared a house for her in advance.Fortunately, Lin Ruhai wrote her a letter this time, otherwise this old lady could do something that would ruin Daiyu's reputation.

Thinking of Pearl like this really frightened me, if the old lady really wanted to do something, Daiyu really had no power to fight back under the low eaves.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Xueyan hurriedly asked: "My dear sister, what's wrong?"

Pearl said to Xueyan with a serious face: "Xueyan, no matter what time in the future, you will try to stay away from the girl's side as much as possible. During the New Year's Eve, you must remind the girl to prepare a gift for the Li family early. "

Xueyan just smiled: "Our master also thought of this. Apart from me, the granddaughter of our old housekeeper also came with us this time, serving the girl personally like me. And the old housekeeper is now We are tidying up our Lin family's house in Beijing. In a few days, we can come over to the mansion to say hello to the old lady."
