Snow Goose in the Red Chamber

The lady's meaning is very clear. She knows that now the family depends on three people, Jia Mu, Baoyu and Jia Lian.Jia Lian is her bastard son who is not related by blood, so if she wants to win him over, she can only go the way of Sister Feng.But Baoyu and Daiyu were the most beloved people of Jiamu, and after Jiamu died, I am afraid that the family property she saved would have to be divided more between the two.Now that Jia Chi can't be counted on at all, Mrs. Xing can only pin her hopes on Daiyu and Sister Feng, hoping to draw them to her side.

Daiyu didn't know what she answered, and when she came back, she looked at the prescription again, but found something strange.

The medicinal materials are all these medicinal materials, but the weight is slightly different.

Mrs. Xing is not very literate, but she can still understand the prescriptions. Mrs. Wang will not intentionally make a mistake and use fake prescriptions to scare her.

Daiyu only felt a headache. After being stunned for a while, she folded the prescription and put it in the envelope, called Su Ping over, and asked him to give this to Madam Su.

Although Su Ping was surprised, he didn't ask any more questions. Mother Su was no less shocked after seeing the prescription than Daiyu.

On the second day, Madam Su went to the Zhuangzi that the King of Beijing bought for Su An, and summoned all the older generations of the Su family together.

Originally, those people were still unwilling to talk about it, but they panicked when they saw that Madam Su was so determined to drive them out, and told them all about that year.

Jia Min married into the Lin family and had no children for many years. Mother Su didn't have any other ideas, but her relatives did.

Mrs. Lin's most capable steward, Nanny Xu, was also born. She had a daughter who was only one year younger than Jia Min. She was still unmarried when she was eighteen, and she just wanted to make Lin Ruhai a child.

The prescription given by Mrs. Wang back then was an infallible secret recipe for childbirth, which had passed through Jia Mu's hands. No matter how courageous Mrs. Wang was, she would not dare to tamper with it.

But the person who sent the prescription was from the Su family.The members of the Su family and the Xu family came together for a common purpose. They tampered with the prescription and increased or decreased the dosage, just asking Jia Min to allow his daughter to enter Lin Ruhai's room when the heir was in trouble. .

After Jia Min learned that Fang Zi had a problem, he was in a bad mood for a while.She believed in her natal family and her mother so much, but in the end, the pharmacy sent by her relatives hurt herself and her son.

At that time, Nanny Xu also made too much noise, and her daughter was finally rationed to the son of the then chief housekeeper of the Lin Mansion.Nanny Xu failed to fulfill her long-cherished wish. After the death of Mrs. Lin, she consolidated the old forces in the mansion and stumbling Jia Min all day long.

Nanny Xu is an old man next to Mrs. Lin, an old man whom even Lin Ruhai respects.Jia Min didn't dare to tell Lin Ruhai what was wrong with her, so she could only endure it.After Brother You's death, Jia Min only felt that life was hopeless, her natal family was unreliable, and although her husband loved her dearly, she couldn't tear herself apart for the sake of herself and the people around her mother, her son was gone, and she didn't know if she could conceive again .If Madam Su was here, she would be able to comfort her a few words, but this most caring maid has also been kicked out by him to make a match.

Fortunately, Jia Min became pregnant with Daiyu again later, and she felt that life finally had something to look forward to. When Daiyu was still in her infancy, she began to discuss with Lin Ruhai what kind of family she would find for Daiyu in the future, and how to save for Daiyu. How much dowry is carried.

But Nanny Xu took the lead again at this time, and tried to persuade Lin Ruhai several times to adopt a boy from a side branch after failing to do so.Lin Ruhai had been moved before, and it was precisely because of this movement that Jia Min completely gave up.

As a husband, she is good at everything, but she is too nostalgic.If he had changed to another master and met such a troublesome servant, he would have been dismissed long ago.Lin Ruhai suffered from smallpox when she was a child. At that time, Mrs. Lin was still pregnant and could not take care of him. No one in the house would approach him. It was Madam Xu who lied to Mrs. Lin that she also had smallpox and went into the yard to take care of him. Only then did Lin Ruhai regain his life.

For this reason, Jia Min also knew that he had no chance of winning against Nanny Xu.

As for Jia's mother, at that time, because she wanted to train Yuan Chun who was going to be sent to the palace, she didn't care much about Jia Min and Daiyu.

Jia Min felt that relying on no one is worse than relying on herself, so she began to wholeheartedly sell the dowry to hide money for Daiyu's second half of her life.

Nothing is real without money, even if her Yu'er gets married unhappily in the future, she can live comfortably by closing the door and relying on this small treasury.

After listening to the words of the Su family, Su Momo let out a long sigh: "You really hurt me."

She didn't have the face to tell Daiyu the truth, so she could only call Su Ping: "Do you really want to stay in Jia's mansion?"

Su Ping hesitated: "Yes."

"That girl Xueyan doesn't like you."

Su Ping had been sullen before, but now he smiled: "I know, I'm not for her, not all for her."

Madam Su snorted, thinking of that inexplicable distinguished guest in Jia's mansion.

"You have always been a big-hearted child, but you have to be cautious in everything. If this kind of thing gets involved, it will be death."

Su Ping said: "Mom, you think too much."

Su Momo was silent for a long time before she said: "Take this letter back and tell the girl that my old lady is getting old and her brain is not working well, so I can only stay with my daughter for the elderly. Go back and serve her."

Su Ping squeezed the letter and said in a low voice: "What kind of riddle are you and the girl playing? What is in this envelope?"

Su Momo shook her head and said, "Don't ask, if the girl refuses to keep you, you can come back."

Chapter 35

Zijuan took a ladle of warm water and slowly poured it on Snow Goose's head, and gently rubbed her hair with the other hand.

Xueyan let out a sigh: "It's comfortable, it's really comfortable to be served."

Zicuckoo snorted and rubbed it hard twice: "Okay, go and wring it out yourself."

Xueyan pursed her lips and said, "The scum hasn't been rinsed off yet."

"There's so much hot water to wash your hair, why do you pay for the firewood yourself?" Zijuan said angrily, and gave her a towel.

Qingwen came in with a sewing kit, and said, "Why are you all here, who will take care of Second Mistress?"

Xueyan said: "Didn't Grandma take a nap just now?"

Qingwen frowned, and whispered: "I just saw Su Ping come out of grandma's house, I thought..."

"Maybe Su Nanny has something for the girl, what's the matter?"

Qingwen shook her head, put the things in her hands on the table, scooped up water to help Zicuckoo wash her hair, and took out the basin without washing herself.

Snow Geese and Zicuckoo wiped their wet hair by the window, letting the warm afternoon wind blow.

The door next to it creaked, and Xue Yan turned to look, only to find that Jia Chi was looking at them fascinatedly, his eyes lingering on their white necks and slightly open necklines.

Zijuan blushed, Xueyan gave Jia Chi a hard look, and slammed the window shut.

Jia Chi scolded softly, and went back to the house to look for Qiuyun.

At night, Qiuyun shied away from being unwell and wanted to eat in the room, so she asked Xueyan to make two meat dishes and send them over.

Xueyan sneered three times, and only sent a plate of fried cabbage and a bowl of rice over.

Qiu Yun's face immediately turned dark, and he raised his hand and threw the plate of vegetables to the ground.

Xueyan ignored her, turned around and left.Qiuyun leaned against the door and started cursing, until Yuanyang came to persuade her to go back to the house crying.

The next day Qiuyun was taken away by Mrs. Xing who found a girl, and bought another 14-year-old girl for Jia Chi.

Mrs. Xing started, and Mrs. You also hesitated to buy a little girl to do rough work.Mrs. Wang also wanted to buy it, but she had the most people in the room, two aunts, two maids, and Tanchun and Li Wan were waiting on them.

Now all the servants in the mansion have signed death contracts, and they only need to take care of food and housing, don't think about the monthly rules, and they have a lot of work to do.Tanchun and Li Wan are fine, but Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou are exhausted, they have to do their own things, and they have to serve Mrs. Wang.

Aunt Zhao no longer has the energy and ability to dress herself up, and she is aging rapidly.Mrs. Wang was indescribably happy when she saw her tired look.Naturally, Jia Zheng would not spoil a concubine who was not good-looking anymore, and he couldn't be ashamed to find such a young girl to be a child like Jia Chi, so he could only be pure-hearted and ascetic.

It was not easy for Daiyu, either serving by Mother Jia, or standing in front of Mrs. Wang, and often had to wait until after dinner to go back to her room and talk to Baoyu, and then Baoyu was called over by Jia Zheng.

Since the young couple got married, the number of times they met was not as good as before.Baoyu felt that Daiyu had been wronged deeply, and began to study harder and harder.

"I don't have any other skills. I can't go out to run business like Lian's second brother. I can only go into an official career." Baoyu said, holding Daiyu's hand and said seriously, "Don't worry, when I pass the exam, I won't miss you." I will let you live this miserable life again."

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Don't be too burdened, just be normal. I don't want to be a lady of Juren or a lady of Jinshi, I just hope that this family can be good."

Baoyu put Daiyu's hand under his lips and gently touched it: "I will be the pillar of the family, sister, and I will not let you down."

The next day Baoyu took Jia Lan to the examination room, and the whole family, including Jia Chi and Jia Zheng, stood at the gate to see him off.

The crown prince actually followed into the examination room, and it was only then that Xue Yan found out that he had also signed up for the examination, but in what name he did not know.

After the exam, Baoyu and Jia Lan came back with blue faces. One of their candidates went epileptic because of nervousness.

Mrs. Wang and Li Wan kept cursing the examinee in their hearts, for fear that their treasure would be affected.

The days of waiting for the results were extremely difficult. Li Wan and Mrs. Wang took turns getting sick, and finally it was the day when the results were released.Baoyu hit the first
