[Red Mansion] Queen's Road
Chapter 22
Linlin's wooden couch is right under the window, the weather is just right, the window is opened and the sun shines into the room.
A small table was placed on the wooden couch, and several large pillows were placed against the wall. Linlin leaned on the side of the pillows, with her little sister in her arms, and looked at the women in the room. Several glances.
"I was young and didn't know any mothers. Where did this come from?"
Nanny Chen took a step forward, "Girl, these are some women from your grandfather's house."
"So it's from the Rongguo Mansion." After Linlin finished speaking, she lowered her head and asked her younger sister in her arms. "Do you know where Rongguo Mansion is?"
"It's my mother's mother's house."
Linlin laughed loudly after hearing this, "You little clever ghost, you are right, it is mother's mother's family."
After the two sisters chatted and laughed a few times, Mammy Lai interjected, "The servant is serving the old lady. The old lady heard the news that the girl was married to the royal family, and she was so happy that she didn't sleep well for two days. It's not because the mountains are high and the road is far away that I want to come and see the girl in person."
"That's not necessary, although our family lives here now. But the big gift was done in the capital. Next year my mother will bring our siblings back to the capital, and there will be plenty of time to meet."
After finishing speaking, Linlin glanced behind Nanny Lai. "I see that the nanny is older, and the others are younger. Are they all serving my grandmother?"
Zhou Rui's family took a step forward, "The servant is the wife's companion. The man in the house is in charge of the tenants in the villa outside. The servant is in charge of the carriages and horses used by the wives and girls on weekdays."
Zhou Rui's family has been here a few times, knowing that this girl looks easy to talk, but she is not a good person, so her attitude becomes much tense when she speaks.
"Madam? I heard from my mother some time ago that my uncle married another aunt. I don't know if this mother is with my first aunt or with my second aunt?"
"The servant girl is in front of the second wife."
"Then why don't you just say Second Wife? I thought you were in front of my aunt."
It's not a good tone, Mammy Lai can't figure out the girl's temper.When she was a child, this girl went to Rongguo Mansion to look at her well-behaved.But listening to these few words now, I feel a bit yin and yang.
The most important thing is that when I entered this room, I was standing and talking all the time, and I didn't even get a seat.Let alone a cup of tea.
Nanny Lai was not used to being held up by the little master in Rongguo Mansion.
Linlin stretched out her hand, and the black girl hurried over with a cup of tea.Linlin tasted it in her mouth, and slowly fed it to her younger sister. Several women from Rongguo Mansion watched the two sisters drink a cup of tea and eat a piece of dessert.
Neither staying nor leaving, the room was silent.Nanny Lai took this opportunity to look at the room with her eyes.
The place where they are standing now is the west room of the three upper rooms.It is said that this yard was used by the old lady of the Lin family in the past.The interior of the house is not exquisite and luxurious.But it looks like there are still some high-quality goods.
The south wall of this room is next to the wooden couch, the west wall is a bookshelf, and just under the north wall is a desk.There are several large celadon pen holders on the desk.The tip of the brush inside is facing upwards, and it is crowded like a forest.There is another large inkstone on the desk.Spread out a few sheets of white paper, next to the white paper, there is no shortage of paperweights, pens, and candle holders, and each piece is a high-quality goods.It's not like a girl's boudoir, but like a man's study.
On the east wall with their backs hung a few calligraphy and paintings.It is not a masterpiece by a famous artist, but an extremely childish graffiti.
Chen Momo saw Lai Momo looking around, smiled and explained to her, "This is our girl's daily living room, the bedroom is in the east room, and I read books in this west room for fun during the day. The calligraphy and painting on the wall are Our uncle drew it when he was young. Our girl loves it like something, and specially asked someone to frame it and hang it here."
Nanny Lai was not ashamed to be caught peeping.
"The eldest girl in our family is also like this." The eldest girl in Mammy Lai's mouth is Jia Yuanchun. When she said this, her face was somewhat smug, "Our eldest girl also loved reading when she was young, and she was especially good at playing the piano. There is a guqin in the house, which is said to be the famous Jiaoweiqin in the past."
After Linlin heard this, she laughed inwardly. If Jiaowei was really passed down to now, it probably wouldn't be usable long ago.
But because the other party mentioned Jia Yuanchun, she became interested a lot. "Mother Lai? Sit down. When I was young, I went to my grandfather's house, but I haven't been there in recent years, and I don't recognize my younger siblings. Why don't you tell me about those cousins today?" Sisters, don’t worry that next year will pass, and it will be embarrassing if you don’t know each other when you meet.”
Tian Niu turned around and went outside to bring an embroidery stool.
Nanny Lai first thanked Linlin and then said a few polite words to Tian Niu.Just sat on the stool.
"The girl came to our house when she was young. I think Master Zhu and Lian knew each other. I won't talk about Master Zhu. He passed away a few days ago. The old man and wife in the family almost went blind from crying. Let's talk about our family. Second Master Lian. Not long ago, he married the nephew of the second wife's family. She is truly a beautiful woman with a sharp temper. Now she is in charge of the internal and external housework, and there is no one in the family who is dissatisfied."
Linlin nodded, "So, next year, I must meet this Second Mistress Lian."
Nanny Lai went on to say, "You also met our eldest girl when you were young. She is the most blessed one. Now she has entered the palace. She can send a letter back to her family every three to five months. I heard that she has done so several times. Isn't it a blessing to meet Shengyan?"
Linlin nodded, but did not speak.I thought that those who could send messages to the palace were all capable people.But if you have done this, don't tell it. As the saying goes, you can't tell the truth.Once it was revealed, if the emperor had a fit, it would be unlucky for the whole family.
Nanny Lai went on to say, "The second girl is after our eldest girl. You have never seen the second girl. She is the concubine daughter of our elder master. She is usually gentle and well-behaved, and now she is raised by the old lady."
"It's a good thing for a girl to be raised by her grandmother. I lived with my grandmother when I was young. Although our old lady has passed away for several years. But when I think about her voice and smile, it seems like it was yesterday." After finishing speaking, he sighed, "This is also the second sister's blessing."
"Who says it's not? After the second girl is our second master Bao. After the second master Bao is our third girl. After the third girl is the third master Huan. After the third master Huan is the third master Cong. Except for our second master Bao, other ages They are all young, and now some are with their biological mothers, and some are raised by the old lady. The girl will be able to see it when she enters the capital next year."
"Speaking of which, in the past few years, I have had a few more brothers and sisters. The number of people in my grandfather's family has become more prosperous, and I will see you next year. You have worked hard all the way, why don't you go back and rest, wait After two days, I'll recover, let's sit down and talk again."
Nanny Lai quickly stood up, took the woman from Jia's family and left.
Grandma Chen watched them all go out of the yard and sat on the edge of the wooden couch, "The girl doesn't seem to like people in their family, even if other irrelevant people come, the girl can still say a few words. They The family members are here, but the girl doesn't want to talk to her."
"It's not that I don't want to talk to them, it's just that I'm a little annoying today. Take them out to rest, and let us two sisters talk here comfortably for a while."
The four maidservants in the room withdrew with Nanny Chen.Linlin flattened out on the couch, Lin Daiyu turned over and patted her sister's belly, "Let me see if the watermelon is ripe?"
This was a joke between the two sisters in the past. The older sister often touched her sister's belly and said, "Let me see if the watermelon is ripe?"
"Isn't it ripe yet? When it's ripe, ask someone to buy a watermelon from the street and cut it open for us to eat. My dear sister, do you remember all the relatives that the woman mentioned just now?"
The goddess of the future nodded, "I remember, my mother also told me a few days ago that our grandfather's house is different from other people's. She said that the food in our grandfather's house was good and used well. Even the servants in the family are more dignified than others."
Linlin couldn't understand why Jia Min instilled this impression on Lin Daiyu.But a correction is necessary.
"Our mother is talking about the time when she didn't come to our house before. At that time, my grandfather was still alive and in charge of the soldiers and horses around the capital, so the house is different from other families. It's just that it's an ordinary family now, but our mother My dear is away from her natal family, and I always feel that the power of the Rongguo Mansion is the same as it was back then, we can't listen to what my mother says, we must learn to see with these eyes, listen with these ears, and think with this big head."
The little girl couldn't understand the meaning of her sister's words at all.Tilting her head and blinking her eyes cutely, Linlin's face was covered with blood.
Immediately pushed the little sister down, the two of them faced head to face, Linlin put her hand next to her ribs, and scratched hard on the soft flesh a few times, the two sisters laughed hahaha.
The two of them were arguing, when Sister-in-law Liu from outside came in with something on a tray, which was covered with a piece of red silk.
Bai Niu went up and continued, "Where did Sister Liu come from? Is this for a girl?"
"I have something to say to the girl myself. Is the girl in the house?"
Bai Niu led Sister-in-law Liu into the room. The two sisters were still laughing, and Sister-in-law Liu was waiting by herself with a tray.
After the two finished laughing, Sister Liu took a step forward.Uncovering the red silk on the tray, there is a phoenix hairpin made of pure gold on it, with red jewels inlaid in its eyes, and a string of tiny pearls in its mouth.
This phoenix hairpin is very luxurious, and the workmanship is extremely fine. I don't know how to make the tail part, and it trembles when people walk around.
"What is this?" After reading it, Lin Daiyu turned over and touched the Phoenix's tail feathers with her small hands. The tail feathers trembled. Out of curiosity, Lin Daiyu picked it up and shook it a few times deliberately. The tail feathers shook more violently, as if she could see With the golden streamer above, everyone in the room focused their eyes on the phoenix hairpin, not daring to pant loudly.
Sister-in-law Liu smiled and said to Linlin, "This is from my uncle. I heard that it is a good thing in the palace. And ah..."
She stopped talking and looked at Linlin with a bit of teasing.
The author has something to say: reach out and grab everyone, and ask if everyone has collected it?
Today, my friend brought their brat to play. I was really nervous. The brat had already demolished my living room last time...
A small table was placed on the wooden couch, and several large pillows were placed against the wall. Linlin leaned on the side of the pillows, with her little sister in her arms, and looked at the women in the room. Several glances.
"I was young and didn't know any mothers. Where did this come from?"
Nanny Chen took a step forward, "Girl, these are some women from your grandfather's house."
"So it's from the Rongguo Mansion." After Linlin finished speaking, she lowered her head and asked her younger sister in her arms. "Do you know where Rongguo Mansion is?"
