Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

Daiyu smiled coldly, and said indifferently: "Daiyu has only been at home for a few years, and she has never seen her. If her father hadn't told her this time, Daiyu would not have known that her family has such an excellent brother. "

Baochai said with a smile, "The Lin family is a scholarly family. Cousin Lin looks really good on the surface, but I never thought my sister had never seen it before."

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, and said with a smile on her lips: "After all, your Lin family is a big family, and there are always a few relatives from the side branches. Your father didn't know it before. People say that the emperor's family has three poor relatives, let alone people like us. Family. I think that brother of yours is fine, but after hearing from you that he has never been with him, the second aunt is a little worried about his niece."

Daiyu's eyes fluttered, and she said calmly, "I don't know what Second Aunt is worried about?"

Mrs. Wang sighed softly, took Daiyu's hand and said, "My niece is young and has experienced few things. I didn't know that these people are sinister. Your father was afraid that you would be left alone if he left, so he adopted him." It was a good intention to have a son to take care of you, but your elder brother had no relationship with your family, and came into your family only by chance, no matter how good he is, it would be very difficult for him to have feelings for your sister who has no blood relationship. If It was okay to be together when I was young, like your eldest uncle and second uncle who were raised by the old lady from an early age, and were very obedient to your mother, but your brother is already an adult, so naturally he still kisses his parents. There will still be you here. Therefore, the second aunt is not worried about you. If your brother is just showing you, you will not be wronged. And I heard that your father gave you most of the family property, your brother I only got 20 taels, even if your brother is generous, he might be a little dissatisfied. He is now the heir of the Lin family, and the family property should belong to him, and his daughter has no right to inherit it. No one will be dissatisfied with your father's arrangement. .”

Daiyu lightly fiddled with the tea cover, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Then what's the use of the second aunt talking to Daiyu, he is my serious brother after all. He is my closest person when my father is gone, so I naturally want everything." Listen to him. Besides, the brothers and sisters will never have a problem with this point. "

When Mrs. Wang saw Daiyu leaning against her head, she thought that Daiyu had been touched by her words, but she didn't notice the sneer on Daiyu's lips. She said happily, "My niece is also stupid. The old lady is your grandmother, and now she is the only one with you. People who are related to you by blood, whoever you kiss will kiss our family. This money has always been the most touching, and 80 taels of silver is not a small amount. After all those relatives and relatives turned against each other for money, they thought that your brother would not have a relationship with you for this. I heard Lian'er said that his family was not rich, so naturally sometimes his parents would be helpless if they begged him. Going back and forth will inevitably hit your money. You, a little girl, can't help being bullied by him at that time? You must know that your parents are dead now. If you don't have money by your side in the future, you will be manipulated for life. Our family is different. Now, the old lady is your dearest person, she loves you the most, and she will never let you bully her, why don't you come to our house and leave the money to our house to keep for you. It saves others from plotting against you. Even if you really don’t believe your grandma, you might as well think about it. Our family is a big family. Although it is not rich, it is definitely not short of money. It will never count the money of the niece. The aunt is dedicated to the niece. I don’t know what my niece thinks about my plans for the future.”

Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang's eagerly expecting face, showed a faint smile like a ripple, and said: "Auntie really has good intentions for my niece. If my niece disagrees, it seems that I don't know what to do."

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, she stood up and said with a smile: "Then I will tell the old lady, if the old lady knows that my niece lives in our house, she might be very happy."

Daiyuhao lifted her wrist lightly, stopped her and said, "Auntie sit down first, Daiyu hasn't finished talking yet." Mrs. Wang sat down resentfully and said with a smile, "Is there anything I can't tell you from my niece."

Daiyu sneered and said, "My niece is a junior, so I don't dare to say that I have any instructions. It's just that I have some doubts. When we first met, my wife praised my brother so well, but now she suddenly calls my brother that ungrateful Zhongshan wolf." The wife also said that my Lin family is from a scholarly family, so even though the relatives in the side branch are not rich, they would not have such a shameless person. Why did the wife insist that he is the one who bullies his relatives when he sees money? ? Since the two elder brothers have adopted the name of their father, they have severed ties with their former parents, just like the second uncle, how could they pull outsiders for no reason? And now that the elder brother's parents are far away in Suzhou, even if they want to pull it off, it may be very difficult. Difficult. The father of the three is only my own daughter. Does my wife think that my father will find someone with a bad character to bully me? My wife is disrespectful to my predecessor for questioning me like this. Although Daiyu is young and careless, she will definitely not I dare to hear the faults of my parents. Moreover, although my grandmother is a relative, she is also a foreign relative. My wife said that my own flesh and blood would turn against me for money, let alone my relatives. Although the pearls of Jia’s house are like dirt, according to my wife’s remarks just now, in my wife’s eyes, the 80 Two is also a large amount. The more money the better, my wife can guarantee that the family is the kind of person who is not moved by money. When I came here before, I was only a guest for a few days, and there were many unbearable rumors spread to Dai In Yu's ears, it must be that the wife's energy for housekeeping is limited and there is a place where she can't do it for a while, but how dare the wife boast at this time that Daiyu is safe here. Moreover, the wife is all for me, but at this time she is instigating Daiyu not to obey. Etiquette questioned her own brother, and she couldn't really guarantee Daiyu's life in her grandmother's house in the future. Wouldn't this put Daiyu in a dilemma. If the truth spread outside, Daiyu would not even be said to be "elder brother is like a father" A wild girl who doesn't understand the truth, at that time, not only Daiyu alone was praised, but even my Lin family was ridiculed."

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, her face was blue and white, she knew that Daiyu would be sharp-tongued sometimes, but what she said was kind to her, there was nothing wrong with it, why did this girl ask herself so sharply.Her diction was originally unfavorable, but when she became angry from embarrassment, she was really speechless for a while.

Baochai could see it clearly, and hurriedly laughed beside him: "Look at Sister Lin's mouth like a walnut cart, which makes people unable to answer. Madam was planning for Sister Lin with all her heart. Now of course I look at Brother Lin well, after all we get along with each other. Not too deep, and my uncle just passed away, so he will be fine, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. Because people's hearts are unpredictable, Brother Lin is good in front of Uncle Lin, but there is no guarantee that he will not change in the future. Even the gods and Buddhas can't fully understand people's hearts. My wife is not questioning my uncle. My sister is really wronged by my wife. My wife also means to plan ahead. How can my sister not understand? Sister Lin and we are blood relatives. If there is something wrong for a while, the younger sister can point it out clearly and let the old lady and the wife decide. The younger sister doesn't just say how much the wife has, she doesn't know and she can't, how can the younger sister break up with the mansion just because she doubts the old lady and the wife's sincerity. Isn't it much safer for you to manage money than yourself, is it possible that my sister is doubting the old lady's sincerity by questioning his wife like this?"

After hearing Baochai's words, Mrs. Wang couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, and smiled at Baochai with satisfaction, and Baochai responded with a gentle smile.

Daiyu looked Baochai up and down, thinking to herself when Baochai became more scheming than before. She used to be just chasing power, but now she has started to plot against her. It is reasonable to think about it. Blind pursuit of profit will lead to calculation sooner or later framed others.She smiled lightly, and said: "Sister Bao's words are really well-rounded. This tone is no different from that of a mistress like Sister-in-law Feng. Listening to my sister's words, I actually blamed Daiyu for blaming his wife. Why is Daiyu here?" It's not against the way to be a guest when you are a guest at other people's house, and you have to point fingers at other people's slaves, but since sister Bao said, it is inevitable that Daiyu will not tolerate such idleness in the future. Daiyu is also a little puzzled When I asked Sister Bao, it was right for my second aunt to care about me, but Sister Bao was not the head of the Jia family and had no relationship with Daiyu, so why did she openly say these words in the tone of the head of the Jia family? What identity? Daiyu said long ago that your Xue family has nothing to do with my Lin family. How can Miss Bao even take care of Daiyu's family affairs. I know that Sister Bao also cares about me, but what do we do in private? No way, Sister Bao came to this occasion to say whether Sister Bao came to speak for my aunt on behalf of my grandmother's family, or just cared about me because of her sisterhood, Daiyu didn't know what to think about it."

Baochai smiled softly, squeezed the veil tightly under her hands, and said gently: "Look at what sister Lin said, I care about my sister out of selfishness."

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "That's fine, otherwise I would be confused. Listening to my sister's words and adding the second aunt's words are a bit persuasive. It seems that Daiyu does not agree to live in Jia's house and hand over money. Madam, ma'am, Daiyu is a junior, but she dare not have such thoughts. Madam may be really good for Daiyu, but Daiyu still believes in her father's opinion, so she wants to refute Madam's kindness."

Mrs. Wang's face sank, she snorted softly, her eyes were still smiling, but her tone was no longer gentle, she said: "Then the second aunt has nothing to say, she was afraid that my niece would be wronged and blame us relatives in the future, since The girl is so sure that we have nothing to say, we can't be the villain who sows discord."

Daiyu said lightly: "Second aunt, don't worry, even if Daiyu hits the south wall, she will only keep it in her heart, and she will never blame outsiders." She deliberately emphasized the word "outsider", and her eyes A trace of coldness oozes out.

Mrs. Wang heard Daiyu say that she was an outsider, she stood up with a sneer and said, "So I don't dare to persuade the girl anymore, otherwise it will really show that we have ulterior motives. Please rest, Miss, I still have some things to deal with."

Daiyu got up coldly to see Mrs. Wang off. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was leaving, Baochai couldn't stay any longer, so she had to go out with Mrs. Wang.

Back in the main room, Jin Chuan hurriedly made tea, Mrs. Wang took it and splashed it on the ground with a bang, the cup shattered immediately, Jin Chuan was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and hurriedly knelt down to clean it up.Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "It's clumsy to pour tea. How can I drink it when it's so hot? I still don't go out. I want to show someone a cowardly look."

Jin Chuan was puzzled, he was rarely subjected to such big words, he couldn't help being wronged, tears rolled in his eyes, he didn't dare to refute, he agreed in a low voice and backed out.

Baochai knew that Mrs. Wang was venting her anger, so she comforted her, "Don't be angry, Auntie. That frivolous and uneducated girl doesn't even understand the good and bad of a person's heart, so she doesn't deserve my aunt's anger. I only thought she was a good person. Although she repeatedly belittled me in secret, she was better than me, and I was convinced. But today I really don't understand why she is so rude, maybe it's because my uncle died and was stimulated."

Mrs. Wang sighed: "My son, I told her that she was not good, but you didn't believe me, and you wronged yourself to please her, but now you have shown your original shape, such a frivolous Hu Meizi who doesn't know what to do, how can there be a bit of everyone's demeanor?" I was all for her, but I provoked such a big talk, as if I was provoking their brother-sister relationship, or it seemed that I was trying to trick her, and she didn't think about our family being a noble family, and she still wanted her idea Things, she is the only one who thinks like this. But after all, she is also a relative of our family, no matter how bad she is, we can't ignore her, just be angry, does Bao girl have any good ideas?"

Baochai frowned and sighed: "Auntie is really compassionate. No matter how generous Fangchai'er is, she will be annoyed. Auntie is still so dedicated to her. Speaking of which, I can't do anything about it. It's not easy for my sister to start here, but Lin Yifei Let's start with him, as a poor boy, he was a poor boy who was able to reach the sky in one step, but his uncle gave all the money to others and made him rich and prosperous. If you show some words, then Lin Yifei will take action. When sister Lin knows his true face, she will take the initiative to find Auntie, and then she will stop her mouth."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "That's right, that's right, Chai'er has a strategy, who should talk about it?"

Baochai laughed and said, "Chai'er thinks it's better to have someone my aunt can trust. Besides, there must have been such rumors in our house in private."

Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly shouted: "Chai'er has become more and more thoughtful. I think your second elder brother Lian should be able to do it." As for making rumors, I left it to Zhou Rui, because Lin Yifei lived in the study outside. , Just let those boys talk about it.

And when Daiyu saw Mrs. Wang gone, she said to Xueyan with a cold face: "Sister Xueyan, throw out the two cups just now."

Xueyan agreed and put the two cups anywhere, after all, they belonged to Jia's family, so she didn't have to smash them and let others talk about them, so she just threw them away.

When she came in, she saw Hongyan trying to persuade Daiyu, "Young lady, you know what kind of virtue those two people are, so why be angry. Watching them singing, reciting, beating and beating is just like watching a monkey show."

Chun Xian said with a smile: "Isn't it? I was excited to see them running away in disgrace just now. Bah, she's really some kind of madam. She has such a face, just like that foolish woman in the market."

Daiyu said angrily with a cold face: "At first I thought she would say it two days late, but I miscalculated how greedy she is. Listening to those words is really hard to calm down. How dare you slander your father and elder brother?" , really treat me as a soft persimmon, it can be seen that the loss of Princess Zhongshun the year before last was not enough."

Upright, someone outside sent a message: "Second Grandma is here."

Hong Yan was surprised and said: "Old Wang just left and a little Wang came, it really makes people can't stop."

Daiyu frowned and said, "Sister-in-law Feng must not be like this."

"What is so and so, what does Sister Lin say about me?" Sister Feng said with a smile as she lifted the curtain.

Daiyu hurriedly gave up her seat and said, "Sister Feng, why do you come here when you have time? You have to take care of your family's affairs and take advantage of this time at noon to sneak a rest and run around."

Sister Feng took a big sip of tea and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm the one who worries about life, so I have to rest. One day I'm so tired that I can't get up and kick my legs to be free. Just now the old lady explained something. , I ran to deliver a message."

Daiyu smiled and said, "What is worth your trip?"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Sister-in-law Zhen of Ningfu came over just now and said that in the afternoon, the old lady, Baoyu and the girls were invited to enjoy the flowers in Fangyuan. The old lady agreed when she was happy, and let me inform you all to go."

Daiyu frowned, and said, "Okay. It's just that it's November now, what flowers are there to enjoy?"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "You don't know. The chrysanthemums they bought from somewhere this year didn't bloom until November. There are also some hibiscus and maple trees there, which are also very beautiful. We've agreed and waited." I will go."

Sister Feng said with a smile and walked away without touching her feet.

Daiyu sighed: "I really don't want people to live in peace. Let's go to the fourth sister's house first, and then someone will come. Speaking of which, it will save me the trouble of thinking about how to get to Ningfu today." Daiyu remembered My father said that Qin Keqing from the Ning Mansion was the daughter of Prince Yizhong back then. She was really curious, and she heard that her brother had disappeared all these years. Maybe she could learn something from her. Dad and the others were always worried. He and Prince Yizhong slipped through the net and joined forces with King Zhongshun. She herself was impatient with these important matters, and she couldn't help her, but now she is no longer a child and has become more sensible, so she is unwilling to do nothing , just do your best.

Xichun was looking at the picture book under the window, when she saw Daiyu coming in, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Lin, why are you here? If I knew you wouldn't sleep at noon, I would have gone to play with you."

Daiyu laughed and said, "You're looking at paintings again, and you've improved a lot in painting after thinking so hard."

Xichun smiled and said, "Let's just paint and play, anyway, I have nothing to do every day. By the way, sister Gangfeng told you to go to Ningfu to play?"

Daiyu nodded and said with a smile, "I've already told you, I'm afraid it won't pass in a while."

Xichun sighed: "The old lady is happy, I don't want to go, but I have to go."

Daiyu knew that Xichun didn't like the Ning Mansion, so she persuaded her, "Just stay for a while, what are you afraid of? Speaking of which, I've only met the people in that mansion once or twice. I heard that your niece and daughter-in-law are very good, and I used to I haven't seen it, but I really want to meet for a while."

Xichun was silent when she heard this, staring blankly at the carved latticework on the window, the sun shining through the latticework showed a mixture of disdain and helplessness in her expression.
