A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

The night before returning to the capital, everyone packed their bags, but they were several times bigger than when they came here. It turned out that Lin Ruhai even rewarded Zijuan and the others around her generously in order to make her daughter live well. I am grateful to Dade, and I am more loyal to Lin Daiyu. Needless to say, I silently think in my heart that with this reward, I can let my family go out of the house to buy land, and live a life of a small landlord.

Among them, Zijuan is a special exception. She is Lin Daiyu's personal servant girl who was awarded by Shi Taijun. The old lady took care of Daiyu where she couldn't take care of. After Lin Ruhai saw Daiyu's dependence on Zijuan, why didn't he inquire carefully, and how could he not be grateful for such a Hui Zijuan? Besides, besides Lin Qingxuan, there were two other The first-class maidservants rewarded are called Chunyu and Xiahe, just because their parents are the heads of the two big villages in the north. The reward is several times thick, so as to calm Zijuan's heart.Zijuan thinks that she is not from the Lin family, so if Master Lin values ​​him so much, there is nothing else to say.

As for Lin Qingxuan, everyone knows that she was rewarded by Master Lin's behest, and she didn't sign the contract, so she is like a mother-in-law.

Daiyu also has a lot of boxes, but most of them are books. At this time, she is asking people to pack up the paper and pens given to the sisters, and is writing notes one by one.

Lin Qingxuan thought, if you tell her the plot of the Dream of Red Mansions at this time, it will only cause her to worry in vain, and she may be suspected of leaking the secret. Lin Ruhai knows it, and it will not last long, but Daiyu can't, and even if she knows it, she can escape. No matter where to go, you still have to enter Jia's mansion again.However, Daiyu should also understand the ways of the world.

Then he said to Daiyu: "When you are free, girl, you can also read more about the account books and lists of our contacts. You can learn a lot. If you know about weddings and funerals and gifts, you won't break the master's friendship when you go to the capital. Miss. I also know that the master still hopes that the girl can adopt one of his children to inherit the Lin family in the future."

Although there was a trace of sadness on Daiyu's face, there was also a trace of tenacity. She understood Sister Qingxuan's painstaking efforts.In Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Ruhai never mentioned this idea in order not to worry her daughter. Daiyu also knew that Baoyu was the only one in Jia's mansion who really thought about her. Although the other sisters cared about her, she couldn't help herself. Although Jia's mother loves her, she still has a foreign character after all, so after Baoyu got married, she felt that there was no love in this world, and she resolutely went to die.Now, she understands her father's painstaking efforts, and she will no longer belittle herself. She must live a good life and live up to her father's expectations.

Perhaps because of the belief in her heart, Lin Daiyu seemed to be in better spirits, and Qingxuan also took the opportunity to let her drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

On the way back, because of the news that Yuanchun conferred the concubine, he traveled day and night, and arrived in the capital within a few days, abandoned the boat and landed, and the Rongguo Mansion sent countless people to welcome and carry the luggage.When Chunyu saw it, he gave a piss: "I really look like a pug when I see money." Qingxuan scolded: "Don't say a word, it will kill you!"

Zijuan put a plain satin cloak on Daiyu, tidied it up, and was about to get off the boat, but was stopped by Qingxuan: "Girl, you are the only one in the Lin family today, you can't fall into the rules of our Lin family." After finishing speaking Then he went out and said to the servant who got off the boat first: "Lai Wanger, go and ask the second master Lian, which door our girl will enter the mansion from later, and don't go down the west corner door where people come in and out. I know that our girl is Relatives, if you don’t know, you might think it’s a servant! Besides, in the old years, when the wife of the Xue family entered the door, she still used the side door. Our Lin family’s scholarly family is also the niece and niece of the two uncles. Don’t you give it to us? Save a little respect for a scholar? What's more, our girl has brought all her belongings to vote, and she doesn't know when she will be able to move our family's belongings through the corner door. Who can afford to lose anything?"

Qingxuan's voice was loud and clear, and people coming and going on the pier could hear clearly, and no one knew what Qingxuan meant.Only then did the servants realize that the items on the two big boats belonged to Ms. Lin from the Lin family, and they couldn't help but marvel. Someone exclaimed: "Sure enough, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse." A nearby family heard this and came to say hello. In the Chen family of General Zhenguo's mansion, it turned out that although General Chen won the battle with Qianxiang Kingdom, the casualties were not small. The Nan'an King's faction impeached him, and the Holy Lord was not enough to go to court, so he had to recall General Chen and allow him to defend himself.Lin Ruhai was the minister who recommended him to be the commander of the navy back then. Because he couldn't contact him for many years, he didn't know that Lin Ruhai had passed away.

After Qingxuan entered the boat, he found that Daiyu's eyes were already red, and said: "Although our Lin family has been defeated, the girl's identity is still there. Although the house taboos the girl's filial piety, it has already passed a hundred days. This time Now if a girl enters the corner gate, she will be no different from a poor relative who beats the autumn wind. If she walks through the Yi gate with a large amount of luggage, she will have the confidence to live in the Rongguo Mansion. Who doesn't know that the mansion is full of rich eyes, to put it bluntly , so many people on the pier know about it, in the future, even if your second aunt wants to do something, she has to think about whether the world will scold the Rongguo Mansion for treating the girl poorly."

Jia Lian had already heard it from below, and was anxious and angry, thinking to herself that Lin Qingxuan, who was not a master but not a servant, arranged by Uncle Lin for Daiyu really should not be underestimated. It seemed that Daiyu should not be underestimated. In the future, I still need to ask Wang Xifeng to take care of her, so that we can get along better in the future.

It was only now that Xia He came out and saluted Jia Lian, and said shamelessly, "It's because Sister Qingxuan said such heavy words when she heard that the girl came out of the corner door last time. She should have followed the arrangement of the family. It's just that we can't lose the atmosphere of our Lin family."

Jia Lian has made so many benefits in the Lin family, besides, he is not the one who blames him inside and out, but the person who let sister Lin go to the corner door last time, isn't it the second wife.As the eldest son, he can only take care of common affairs. Furthermore, Wang Xifeng is always in charge of our Wang family. I don’t know how much resentment I have for the Wang family in my heart, but I dare not speak out to offend the old lady. Who doesn’t know that the old lady prefers the second wife? , This time my heart is calm.So he hurriedly laughed and said: "It's all my fault. My sister is the granddaughter of the ancestor. Our family is close relatives. Naturally, we should go to Yimen. The last time my sister came, it was Zhou Rui's slave. It's not good. I'm not at home, otherwise I won't be here at all." I will wrong my sister." Inside and outside the words, it is Madam Wang's intention to go through the corner door.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was satisfied with each other, and then returned home.

Along the way, Daiyu couldn't stop crying, thinking of the grievances she suffered when she came last time.Qingxuan said: "Yu'er, don't cry, watch out for others to see." Zijuan smiled and said: "Fortunately, there is a sister, our girl is not wronged like this. Normally, as a master, it is not easy for a girl to deal with the servants in person. We care about it, but this time we have a sister, we are relieved."

Daiyu was secretly careful again, and said: "Sister Qingxuan offended someone today, and the family knows about it, but I don't know how to deal with it?"

Qingxuan said nonchalantly: "I'm not a servant of their family. Besides, I was entrusted by Lord Lin to take care of you. It's right not to let Yu'er be wronged. I'll do a little trick for a while, and take Zijuan and the others away." Several body deeds will also come."

It was already afternoon when he entered Rongguo Mansion again, looking at the masters and maids who were still dressed in red and green, Qingxuan felt ruthless, thinking that when Jia's mansion fell in the future, Daiyu would not be softened.

Seeing Jia Mu, Lin Daiyu couldn't say anything except crying with Jia Mu. The surrounding maids, big and small, and Yingchun and other sisters persuaded and persuaded, and then she stopped crying.Lin Daiyu congratulated Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang again, and ordered Zijuan to bring a red sandalwood box, and said, "I don't have anything to give now. There is something in the dowry my father gave to my mother. I think it will be given to Sister Yuanchun." It couldn't be more suitable, so I ordered them to bring it." Opening it, it turned out to be a pair of hollowed-out phoenix-inlaid red envelopes and hanging gold earrings. It is thin enough to be called exquisite workmanship, and there is also a pearl chain, each round, average size, and extremely uniform.Mother Jia saw that it was something she had personally chosen for her daughter when she got married. She felt very sad and said to the left and right: "Don't blame me for loving your sister Lin. Let's see what she thinks today. Why don't I feel pain?" Even though Mrs. Wang usually looks like a wooden figure, seeing these things, she is not overjoyed at this time.

Wang Xifeng took the opportunity to interject and said: "Could it be that we all picked it up, my good sister, you can also give us some gifts, not to mention gold and silver, anyway, it is considered a wish!" The master's gift has already been sent to each house, so why do you need Second Mistress to ask for it yourself!"

Only then did Mother Jia see Lin Qingxuan, and Daiyu explained: "Sister Qingxuan was given to me by my father to manage a rouge shop and a small village in Beijing for me. She also taught me some things on weekdays. Servant, I am still called a sister. In addition, there are two big maids who take care of meals and take care of my body on weekdays. How can I not obey my father's last order?" j□j rain again, Xia He came up to knock nod.

Jia Mu said, "Since it's your son-in-law's kindness, why don't you accept it?"

When they were about to tell them to rest, unexpectedly Qingxuan stepped forward and said: "Now our girls come to vote with their whole family, and it is very inconvenient to stay with the second master Bao. Besides, there are a lot of luggage and servants now, so the old lady should also follow her." Let's arrange a place to live. Now, our girl is the only master of the Lin family. How can we use the servants of other people's family? After all, there is a difference between closeness and estrangement. After we arrange a place, we can easily buy servants. Even the ones given in the old days should be Like my concubine, all daily expenses will be waived.”

The voice fell behind, and needles could be heard in the room. Mother Jia is an old Jianghu. Thinking that Lin Qingxuan was probably Lin Ruhai's backer for Daiyu, and besides, he is not energetic now, and he can't take care of Gu Yu'er completely. With such a tough It is also good for people to teach Yu'er.After all, he really loves Daiyu, so he smiled and said: "Why use shopping, we have a lot of people, Brother Feng, wait and send over the deeds of prostitution to serve your sister Lin and the servant girl's family. I am also confused , I didn’t expect this floor. There is a maple garden at home, which is very nice, so Yu’er can live there, but she needs someone to accompany her at night.” Everyone laughed and laughed again, and Baoyu went out to look for Qin Zhong. I haven't returned home yet, so I haven't seen him.

After returning to the house after dinner, Zijuan asked: "Is that the thing on the pier?" Qingxuan smiled mysteriously, but didn't answer.Daiyu was also very curious, seeing that Qingxuan didn't speak, Qingxuan said: "The girl is the one in the old lady's heart. Besides Baoyu, the girl is the first one. The old lady has long been wronged by the girl in the past. I'm dissatisfied, but the second wife is the mother of Baoyu and the empress, and the old lady is afraid of hitting a mouse and hurting the jade bottle, so it's not easy to reprimand her."

Daiyu laughed when she heard this: "How can you compare the second wife to a mouse?" It's just that the eyelids are already red, and I feel very grateful for my grandmother's love. When it was deep, it rested.
