Snow Goose in the Red Chamber

Looking around, Xueyan bit the bullet and followed the house.

When Daiyu saw her coming in, she said with a cold face, "Kneel down!"

Xueyan knelt down with her head down, and said: "Girl, this servant knows it's wrong."

Daiyu sneered: "You also know that you are wrong."

Xueyan fell silent, Daiyu was silent for a long time, and said: "I don't know when you came up with such a big idea, and I just pretended not to see the little tricks behind your back, because of the relationship between us as master and servant for so many years. Baoyu is a Good-natured, especially for girls, but it doesn't mean you can arrange it behind your back."

Xueyan sighed: "My servant is wrong. I know that since I came to Jia's house, my servant has become more impetuous and has no rules or distance."

Daiyu said: "I used to think that you were ignorant, but recently, it seems that you are not ignorant, but you understand a little too much."

Xueyan looked up at her, and Daiyu continued: "Tell me, what are your plans, don't make up your own mind and make trouble, and ask me to help you out."

Xueyan hesitated, and Daiyu threw out a piece of paper, which listed in detail the price and the number of acres of fertile land on the outskirts of the capital.

"Su Ping asked someone to bring it to you. He thought it was what I meant, so he asked Zijuan to give it to me. You should be glad that Zijuan is illiterate."

Xueyan closed her eyes: "Hey, you idiot."

Daiyu smiled: "You're not very smart either."

Xueyan said: "Your maidservant just thinks that money is dead, and it's better to put it away. It's better to take it out to make a living. It's better to buy some land and keep it safe for any kind of livelihood. It's good to be able to produce some melons, fruits and grains every year to sell for money." , you can eat by yourself."

Daiyu said, "Whose money? Your money? My money?"

"Of course it's the girl's money. If the girl doesn't like it, just pretend that Xueyan didn't say anything. If you want to be beaten or punished, Xueyan will admit it."

Daiyu laughed again: "If you want to buy land, why don't you entrust the second sister-in-law Lian, why do you secretly let Su Ping go to see it yourself, you are not familiar with the place, and you are not afraid of being cheated?"

Before Xueyan could answer, Daiyu said again: "It can be seen that there is something hiding from me, isn't it? You are all ghosts and ghosts, so you think I am stupid."

Xueyan smiled wryly: "Young lady understands everything, so she said that to make fun of my maidservant. The maidservant said something presumptuous. If you want to rely on the Jia family, it depends on whether the Jia family can be trusted."

Daiyu casually folded the paper in her hand, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

Xueyan thought for a while, and then said: "Miss, do you know why the Jia family's monthly statement is issued so late every time, because it was taken out by Lian's second grandma to lend usury, and she just kept it from her superiors."

Daiyu gasped: "This is illegal! Does the second brother Lian know? Does uncle and aunt know?"

Xueyan said: "I don't know about this servant girl, but Second Mistress Lian is a woman no matter how smart and capable she is, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly like this."

Daiyu said to herself, "Why did she do this?"

"Why? Lack of money. Less money in, more out. Less porridge, more monks." Xueyan said, "Second Mistress Lian, isn't she in charge of the housework? Of course, it may also be to save some private money for herself."

Daiyu looked at Xueyan and frowned: "I'm talking nonsense again, I really should tear your mouth apart."

Xueyan curled her lips: "If the servant doesn't say it, the girl will be angry, but if the servant has said it, the girl will still be angry."

Daiyu laughed back angrily: "You are really getting more and more presumptuous."

Xueyan tactfully shut up, watching Daiyu pondering there.

Should she remind Daiyu that her knee hurts when she kneels?

If it hadn't been for Mother Su's subtle influence on Daiyu in the past few months, she would have understood what kind of rules and ostentations a real family should have, what kind of education a daughter of a thousand gold should receive before she gets married, Xueyan I won't say so much today, so frankly.

She doesn't need Daiyu to trust her so much, it's just a dream to take all her words as imperial edicts.

She can only guide Daiyu to think more and think more, instead of indulging in the wind, flowers, snow, moon, spring and snow.

In the end Daiyu burned the paper, but Xueyan knew that Daiyu had memorized everything on it in her mind.

Daiyu woke up Xueyan when her legs became numb from her knees, and went back to the house while leaning on the wall.

Su Momo heard that she came to her house later, Xueyan said: "The girl doesn't look like a child."

Su Momo said: "You are really courageous."

Xueyan rubbed her knees thoughtfully, Daiyu's attitude towards her made her unpredictable, could Daiyu really tolerate a servant like her?

茜雪

On this day, Xueyan accompanied Daiyu back to Baochai's place, and Daiyu stopped by Baoyu's place to have a look. Xueyan came back first and asked Daiyu to prepare the tea she wanted to drink.

Not long after, Daiyu came back, was changing clothes and drinking hot tea, when she heard another commotion in the yard next door.

Daiyu was startled, and after listening for a while, she asked, "Who is this going to drive out?"

Xueyan put on her coat and went out, then came back and said, "Xie Ren said that she accidentally dropped the tea, but I heard from Musk Moon that it was Nanny Li who caused the trouble again."

Daiyu laughed: "Baoyu is the same. He is always angry with his nanny, knowing that she is the most unreliable person."

Xueyan was brought hot water by Daiyu to apply to her face, and after serving Daiyu to sleep, she took Su An back to her room.She woke up early the next day and found out that Qianxue had been taken home by her old woman to wait for her marriage last night, and those who had been friends with Qianxue in Baoyu's yard sighed endlessly.

Xueyan was a little surprised: "What does this have to do with Qianxue?"

Musk Moon smiled bitterly: "The old ancestor only said that Baoyu let him go, so let's go, it must be because he didn't serve well on weekdays."

Xueyan sneered, just as Daiyu came to see Baoyu, so she went over to serve her.

Daiyu also teased Baoyu with what happened yesterday: "Second Master Bao has such a temper, I heard the yelling half the street yesterday. Didn't you want to drive people away? I don't think there are any flowers missing in your Ten Thousand Flowers Grotto."

Xueyan deliberately looked around and said, "Why didn't you see Qianxue, could it be that she was kicked out?"

Daiyu also asked, and Baoyu was embarrassed.

Xi Ren said: "I just asked her old lady to take her out, saying that she is old enough to be married."

Xueyan said: "Qianxue is two years younger than Sister Xiren, and she has reached the age of marriage."

Xiren's face suddenly turned pale, Qingwen said: "Qianxue is thick and clumsy, how can she compare to Shang Xiren's elder sister who is considerate, gentle and able to serve others."

Daiyu and Qianxue did not have a close relationship, but she knew that Xueyan had a very good relationship with her, so she asked a little more: "Why are you in such a hurry, I have never heard of such a plan in her family before. Xueyan, go back to my room Bring some jewelry and clothes to her, and it will also pay off the sisterhood between you and her."

After returning, Xueyan quietly told Daiyu the whole story: "The servant has always been the second master of Bao and loves girls the most, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. What the girl said is that from now on, the slave and maid will not dare to be in front of the second master Bao. If you are presumptuous, you will throw me out someday, and you will not even frown."

Daiyu sighed: "Since it is the words of the ancestors, who would dare not listen to them. Baoyu is too casual, and the evil consequences of his words and deeds will always be borne by the people around him."

Xueyan and Sheyue went to Qianxue's house together. Qianxue's eyes were swollen from crying. She begged Sheyue to say something nice to Baoyu to let her go back, and then cried to Xueyan that she was hopeless in this life. It made the two of them cry a lot when they were with her.

When Xueyan came back, Daiyu was not in the house, but when she asked, she said that Qin Zhong had come, and everyone was joking in Jiamu's room.

Xueyan then went to Mother Jia's room again. Daiyu was talking to Xichun, and when she saw her coming, she said softly, "Why don't you rest in the room, I don't need you here."

Xueyan said: "The servants are afraid that the girl will not be short of servants, so they come here."

Xichun's eyes turned around between Xueyan and Daiyu, and went to play with Yingchun.

Daiyu threw the melon seeds in her hand back to the plate, glanced at Baoyu who was chatting enthusiastically with Qin Zhong next to her, and seemed to be talking to herself: "Looking is a sign."

Baoyu went to school in a hurry, and Daiyu knew why he was there, so she just pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Why don't you say goodbye to your sister Bao?"

Baoyu smiled without answering, and left on her own.

Daiyu stared at the dressing mirror in a daze, and said, "He's not here, it really looks empty."

"Why don't you play chess with Second Miss?" Xue Yan suggested.

Daiyu said: "What job does Su Ping get now?"

"He's following Second Master Lian now, and he doesn't have much work, just running errands and doing odd jobs."

Xueyan combed Daiyu's hair and said with a smile, "Miss, do you have something to tell him?"

Daiyu came back to her senses and said: "The weather is getting colder and colder now, and I am worried about my father's health. It just so happens that the Jia family will sail south in a few days. I want Su Ping to go back with me and take the clothes I made for my father. past."

"This is a good thing, and let Su Ping practice and practice." Xue Yan said, "Did the girl tell Mother Su?"

Daiyu said: "No, I also thought of it suddenly, these days I always dream about the past."

Xueyan suddenly thought that Lin Ruhai might disappear by the end of this year or early tomorrow, and that the Lin family's huge wealth would also be cheaper in the Jia family's pocket.

She didn't want all the money to fall into Daiyu's hands, for a weak woman with nowhere to rely on, it would be a disaster to have money in her hands, so the Jia family could take it all.

Daiyu only needs to keep a few thousand taels, which is enough for her to spend the rest of her life.It's just that Daiyu can't escape the hurdle of getting married, and the Jia family will not let Daiyu marry outside, because Daiyu inherits all of the Lin family's property, and she will take it all away when she gets married.Mrs. Wang would not just sit and watch Daiyu marry into Jia's family, because that would mean that she was completely defeated in the war with Jia's mother.

Xueyan got a headache, she couldn't figure it out, did Lin Ruhai trust his wife's natal family so much?Daiyu has reached the age of talking about marriage, hasn't Lin Ruhai thought about who to marry for Daiyu?Or he also fancy
