The Red Chamber is not a dream

[No.80 [-]nd chapter] Thinking about siblings and seeing faith is like a face.

But Daiyu has lived in Jia's mansion for two or three months without knowing it; every day she just sits up and sits with Baochai's mother and son in the Pear Fragrance Court.The house was refurbished by Jiamu the day before yesterday, and she came to teach Daiyu to move there. It's just that Daiyu and Baochai were so obsessed with speculation, that Kuang Baoqin sometimes came to live here for a few days, but she didn't want to go, so she said: "Don't bother me any more. It's good to be here." Mother Jia heard that it was not good to force him, and saw that Aunt Xue was very attentive to Daiyu's affairs, so she just let it go.

His sister was talking in the room that day.Hearing the noise of cars and horses outside, Zi Zhu went out to look, and after a while, she took two letterheads with a smile and said: "Uncle Xue and the uncle have sent a letter. There are also some things for the aunts and girls. Butler Lin went to pick it up outside the city, and I taught the boys to carry it there." The party said, and then sent two letters to the two of them.

Hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly took it from his hand, and when she opened it to look at it, she saw the handwriting of Yunyu; it was just some usual greetings, nothing more than telling him not to miss it and take care of himself.Seeing at the end of the letter that he said he would not go back to Beijing for the New Year, he felt disappointed, so he secretly said: "I only think that I will go for a few days, and it will not be more than three months, and I will be back at the end of the year; who knows that I will go until next year. Seeing that Baochai also opened the letter and read it, he said to him, "Sister Bao, my brother said that they will not come back until after the New Year." Baochai nodded and sighed, "Exactly. My mother calculated it the day before yesterday." Back in the day, he promised to come back, but he didn’t know about it after thinking about it; if he knew, he would definitely be unhappy again, because he thought he had been away for a long time.”

Daiyu heard the words, but kept silent. After a while, she forced a smile and said, "It's good to go out, it's not interesting to always be here. Besides, they are a man's house, and they just want to go around." Baochai laughed. "Wouldn't it be better if we took us for a walk?" Daiyu said, "I don't like to ride in boats. The shaking makes people headache. The carriage is too bumpy, and it's at home." Good." Baochai said: "You are born to like to be quiet and not to move, that's why you say that. We, Qin'er, have traveled all over the world since we were young, and we have to spend more than half of the year in cars and boats; but I also help him , if it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it."

The two talked for a while, and when they saw Aunt Xue coming, they got up to say hello and showed Xue Die's letter to him.Aunt Xue looked at it, and then sighed: "If you don't come back, don't go back. The left and right are driving out, and we are in vain; but if he comes, we can go to our own home to celebrate the New Year. Now we have to be here again." It's over here. Your aunt is not here, so we just stay here, so embarrassing."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Aunt, don't worry about it; the old lady likes to be lively. Now that the second uncle and the others have gone out, they feel deserted. It's better for you to be here; Kuang, the old lady likes Sister Bao and Sister Qin very much. They are both better than us." Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Silly boy, this is a compliment to outsiders. Who do you see boasting about his granddaughter and granddaughter? In my opinion, it's our girl Lin. most."

When Daiyu heard this, she burst out laughing.Baochai was surprised to see him like this, so she forced him to ask him why he laughed; at first Daiyu insisted not to say anything, but Baochai came up to tickle him when she saw him like this; Laughing so hard that she was out of breath, she hurriedly begged Baochai for forgiveness: "My dear sister, please forgive me. I'll let you go." Baochai let him go when he heard the words; : "My aunt just said good things to praise outsiders; who knows that I just said that, and she praised me again; it is obvious that I am an 'outsider'."

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "You're too narrow. I just said it casually and taught you how to do it." Daiyu laughed and said, "It's just that everyone is bored, so let me teach you something." It's so stubborn; besides, I just don't think of my aunt as an outsider, so I said that." After a few people chatted and laughed for a while, they went to the other side to look at the things that came later, and asked people to fold up a few cents and send them to each room. Go, no problem.

Now it's about the big room of Jia's mansion; at this time, Jia Ruo has grown up for more than ten months, and has begun to babble, which makes Mrs. Xing so happy that she doesn't know what to do, and she comes to tease her every day; The son is smart, and he is also self-satisfied, and he is even more determined to manage his daily affairs well, thinking that Jia Ruo will plan for the future.

Since Mrs. Wang left the mansion the day before yesterday, Sister Feng has taken care of most of the affairs in the mansion. Although she can show her skills, she feels that there is no one in the mansion who can use her: Li Wan is a man who doesn't care about things, and now Yingchun spends all day learning the rules in the house "Although Tanchun is also shrewd, because Mrs. Wang is not there, he doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of the house.Now that Ping'er and the others are getting older, they may go out soon, and they are going to take advantage of this time to retrain a few confidants; although Xiao Ning is younger than Ping'er, his father came to ask for grace the day before yesterday. So he will teach him to take him to marry him.Therefore, Sister Feng felt that her arm was missing, so she made up her mind to choose among the maidservants, hoping to find a clever one.

Unexpectedly, by coincidence that day, when Sister Feng went to Lixiangyuan to find Aunt Xue to talk, she just met Xiaohong, so she taught him to come here to find Ping'er to get things; I'm at odds with the other girls, and I've wanted to go out for a long time; now seeing this opportunity, who is not flattering?If he took the things back, he explained what Ping'er taught him to return very clearly. Sure enough, he fell into Sister Feng's eyes and wanted him; Hong went over, and asked to find a good girl to come with the two of them.

Both Daiyu and Baochai had their own maids, and when they heard that Sister Feng came to ask for it, they didn't care much, so they said, "He is from your family. Since you want him now, just take him with you." Xiaohong heard the words But he couldn't help himself, and hurriedly followed Ping'er out to salute his sister, then rushed to pack his own things, and then went to Sister Feng's children's hospital, and then waited for use in Sister Feng's room; see you later.

Now let's not talk about other things for the time being, let's talk about the matter in the Rong Mansion; because Sister Feng got a hint from Mrs. Xing the day before yesterday, she had some free time this time, so she decided to read the accounts of the mansion. It was wrong, but I was afraid that I was wrong. When I saw Jia Lian coming back, I looked at it with him and said, "I see that there is a huge deficit in this account, but I'm afraid I didn't understand it, so I was suspicious; now you come here." It’s just right, let’s have a look with me.”

When Jia Lian heard the words, she took it over and turned it over, but she was quite surprised, and said, "Is this our account here?" Sister Feng said, "Isn't it! It's just a situation of 'removing the east wall to make up the west wall'; if it goes on like this, how can it be good? If one of them fails, I'm afraid the hole will not be filled."

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "Have you told your wife?" Sister Feng said, "Not yet. When I saw it by myself, I didn't dare to believe it. Why is it like this in such a big mansion? So I didn't dare to confirm it, and I never told my wife." Jia Lian sighed, "Most of these deficits were taught to the second wife to use as her own private house. It's a pity that we can't get evidence now, but we can't; it's just that it's better now. ?”

In this case, the two planned a round, but in the end they didn't succeed, so they reported it to Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Xing was stunned for a while when she heard the words, and said: "Why are you waiting like this? Although I knew the difficulties in the mansion, I only said 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse'. Is there an empty shell left?" Jia Lian forced a smile and said, "That's not the case. Although we owe money to other people, others also owe us; if the two are equal, that's all." Mrs. Xing sighed Said: "That's not the case. Let alone the debt owed; just say that the income is getting less and less every year. Isn't it short-sighted to sell so much of the family's property? What's more, the sale I don't know where the money went; no matter how big the family property is, it won't be able to stand up to these robbers! You can still live in this life, but what will happen to Ruogeer?"

When Jia Lian heard this, he just hit his mind, so he bowed his head and remained silent.Sister Feng was shocked when she heard the words, and said, "According to what my wife sees, how can we live well now?" Mrs. Xing pondered for a while, then sighed: "I can't think of any idea at the moment. Now It's a big event. If it's not good, I'm afraid—" At this point, he swallowed the rest of the words, and said to Jia Lian: "Let's not talk about this. Now I'm asking you a person, called Sun Shaozu of; have you ever heard of it?"

Jia Lian thought for a while when he heard the words, and said, "Yes, he is the son of Commander Sun He. Why did mother ask him?" Mrs. Xing said: "A few days ago, his father came here to invite the master to eat. Jiu, according to the meaning, seems to be a situation where we are going to be married to our family; it's just that your second sister has a family, and your third sister is not from our family, and his father is not here, so it's hard to say. Your father will come back that day Talked to me a few words, and said that he had borrowed five thousand silver in his hand, and he would resign if it was not good; so he discussed with me. But I have never heard of this person. I think you usually walk outside, or with you. He recognizes it; if this person is really as good as what he said, then tell Sanya to him as well."

When Jia Lian heard this, she shook her head and said, "Second Uncle didn't like his family's behavior, so he never had any contact with him. I thought it would be impossible." Mrs. Xing said, "That's all. They didn't know that they had promised to welcome the girl." I bought someone else's money, so I came to ask; knowing that he promised someone, he wanted to hire a third girl. Now it's not done, but the master is using other people's money, what can I do?" Jia Lian and his wife knew Jia Shesu's temperament, But there was no plan, so they went back to their rooms without saying a word.

On that day, Jia Amnesty reported the matter to Jia Mu. Jia Mu heard that it was his family, and she was dissatisfied at first, but said, "Three girls are still young now, what's the hurry? Besides, his father is outside, without us." We made a marriage agreement for him at home." Seeing Jia's mother like this, Jia She had to retreat Nuonuo; but he didn't know how to explain to the Sun family, and I'll see you later.
