Red Mansions Circle of Friends

When exchanging letters with her sister-in-law and senior sisters, Nan Sheng always brought some private goods with her.Most of these private goods are related to Liu Tai and the Liu family.Nan Sheng wanted to give outsiders a preconceived notion first, so that people would know that the failure of this marriage was not her fault alone.

Occasionally, gossip between women is mentioned.For example, Yuan Chun, such as Liu Tai's cousin.Another example is Jia Jiasanchun, Derong and Xinxing.

Of course, when it comes to the topic "naturally" after the three springs, it is said that it is introduced to Liu Tai's cousin

But every time I write here, Nan Sheng is confused.There is also a sister in the palace, why is Sanchun so hot?

Is it because of age or whether Yuanchun and family status are high or low?

Have it all.

The wealthy family may not be able to see the Sanchun sisters in captivity. After all, they are either brothers who do not show themselves, or they are concubines themselves.

Although Xichun has the highest status among the sisters, her "commercial value" is not as good as Tanchun's, and her temperament is not as easy to handle as Yingchun. The most important thing is that she is still young, and she can't go beyond the two older sisters to make the younger sister's marriage first .

And small families may not dare to come to propose marriage, for fear that the marriage will not work out, and people will say that they are a mangy frog who wants to eat swan meat.

Thinking about what the Jia family did, Nan Sheng had to say that no one with more brains would choose a girl from the Jia family.

It is said that "a nephew is like an uncle", can people not worry about letting their sons and grandsons follow in the footsteps of Jia's men?

Look at the reputations of each of them. For a moment, Nan Sheng was very worried that the reason for her resignation would be the slander of the daughter of a disgusting three-generation family like her boudoir reputation.

These days, it's not that you can sit back and relax without guarding yourself like a jade, because you want to commit a crime, so there is nothing to worry about.

And if you lose your reputation, it will affect other sisters in the family.On the contrary, if other sisters have a bad reputation, it will also implicate you.All your previous efforts will be in vain.

Thinking of this, it seems that it is not so safe to touch your own face.

With a long sigh, Nan Sheng realized that for a woman who had made up her mind not to get married and was determined to become a monk, she actually didn't need to worry about these things.

But what about Daiyu?

They are all women with foreign surnames, and Daiyu may not be able to escape what she can encounter.If you have a bad reputation, you can no longer marry Baoyu, and then think about Daiyu's heart, isn't this the rhythm of driving yourself to death.

Perhaps this is also the main reason why Baochai will eventually marry Baoyu.

When Nan Sheng and Daiyu sent people to send the festival gifts to various places, those disciples who were carefully selected when Lin Ruhai was alive also sent the festival gifts to the capital one after another.

The capital is located in the north. At this time, most of the clothes, balsam, gouache, embroidery, etc. worn by the rich and noble families were shipped from the south of the Yangtze River.

In terms of whether things are new or not, Jiangnan is better.That's why Nansheng and Daiyu only gave away new books and preserved fruits.

From the ceremonies sent to Rongguo Mansion by the brothers and sisters, we can see the nature of the people who prepared these gifts, whether they were men or women.

The things prepared by the senior brothers with female relatives and those female disciples are extremely delicate, and most of them are suitable for the boudoir daughters to fiddle with.As for the brothers who don't have female relatives, most of the gifts they give are books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones and other four treasures of the study.

What I have to say is that Nansheng and Daiyu didn't give Liu Tai a festival gift, but Liu Tai prepared a set of four treasures of the study for Nansheng and Daiyu and sent them to the capital together with the congratulatory gifts of the seniors.

There was no movement in the Liu family, so it can be seen that the four treasures of the study are Liu Tai's own ideas.But looking at Nansheng's and Daiyu's identical things, one can know that this one is actually just making a show.

He didn't take Nan Sheng to heart, but just regarded the ceremony as a kind of formal entertainment.Maybe it's the entertainment they have to do when their seniors eat and talk together.

There is no reason to throw things away when they are brought in.

So Nansheng and Daiyu resold these things and made new year gifts to Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong.

There is still a lot left for one person.

Based on the principle of letting it go for nothing, Nan Sheng asked Shishan to take two sets and send them to the government for seven years.

Since he told Qingwen to be kind to his son, he should do more about these small things.

Daiyu is an exquisite person who pays attention to details. She has taken in some little girls who can read and write in Rongguo Mansion. This New Year's Day, Daiyu specially improved the makeup knife Sanque, and made a batch of delicate and small ones, which are more suitable for inner houses. The three styles of study used by the girl are rewarded to those little girls.

There are not many little girls who used to accompany Daiyu to study and play, but those who can persevere are all smart, persistent, and self-motivated girls.Seeing them working so hard, Daiyu naturally taught them knowledge more seriously.Firstly, to pass the time, and secondly, because of the nature of mind.

Daiyu prepared small gifts for these little girls, and these little girls did not disappoint Daiyu's heart, and prepared things for Daiyu with all their heart.

Some embroidered a bag of handkerchiefs, some embroidered purses, made embroidered shoes, and some knew that Daiyu had a weak spleen and stomach, so they specially prepared country dishes, cleaned them up, and salted them in jars to serve Daiyu porridge.And I planted a few potted flowers to relieve Daiyu's boredom

Seeing Daiyu accepting the presents so fast, Nan Sheng even gave her a few words of sourness.

Why is the popularity so good?

Every time Daiyu heard this, she covered her small mouth with a handkerchief and smiled with crooked eyes.

Life is always more bitter than sweet, and it is only a moment to be sweet for a while.

Nan Sheng, feeling a little homesick for the New Year's Eve, felt melancholy for a while, while pulling Daiyu to play pitching pot in the room.

Touhu is a game of hand-eye coordination. It is not dangerous, but it can also exercise your body properly. It is just suitable for boudoir girls to play.

From New Year's Eve, the old lady took the Jia family and those who married into the Jia family to go to Ningguo Mansion to worship the ancestors and worship the ancestral hall.Nan Sheng took Daiyu to stay in the room to pass the time.

The New Year's Eve banquet will be held in Ningguo Mansion, and will return to Rongguo Mansion on the first day of tomorrow.

The old lady originally thought that she could not bring a girl with a foreign surname to worship her ancestors, but the big banquet did not hinder the addition of two pairs of chopsticks.But Nan Sheng felt it was inappropriate.

In addition, when they first came to Beijing earlier, they were filial piety to Jia Min, and when they came here at the end of the year, when the old lady asked them to have a big banquet together, Nan Sheng refused.

Noisy, noisy, can't eat well, drink well, and have to watch other people's mothers and children loving each other, what are the two sisters trying to find this uncomfortable?

Staying in the house without stopping, the earth dragon is roasting, sitting on the kang, drinking small tea and honey water, eating fruits, and spending some money to make a table of good rice noodles with plain vegetables on the stove. Not more comfortable?

It gets dark early in winter, and the masters and masters in the mansion are not at home.Nan Sheng told her and the maids in Daiyu's room to take turns to rest.Then Nan Sheng leaned on the pillow, with a thin quilt covering her legs, and listened comfortably to Daiyu telling her "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Just when he heard the key point, Zijuan, who was going home for the New Year, hurried in from the outside. While standing in front of the smoked cage, stomping his feet and warming his hands, he spoke very fast to Nan Sheng and Daiyu: "Miss, Miss Nan, Lian The second grandma passed out in the ancestral hall and she has been sent back to the mansion."

"Are you happy?" Nan Sheng sat up straight in amazement, exchanged a glance with Dai Yu and then turned to Zicuckoo, "Do you know how many months it is?"

"I heard from my mother that it's been less than two months."

Less than two months?

Today is New Year's Eve, and the seventh day of July this year should be the first month. It seems that it is undoubtedly Jia Qiao's daughter.

"How did you pass out so well? How is the fetus?" Daiyu didn't think as much as Nansheng did. Hearing that Sister Feng, who had always been good to her, passed out, she was worried about the fetus in her womb, so she asked Zijuan anxiously, Without waiting for Zijuan to answer, she turned her head to look at Nan Sheng again, "Sister, do we have any good medicinal materials, why not send them to Sister Feng. Today, the old lady and the wife will not be able to come back to worship the ancestors. Fortunately, we have no thing, why not"

"Why don't you go and see her? Why don't you talk about it?" Nan Sheng lifted the thin quilt and moved her legs to the side of the kang. Before Nan Sheng could do anything else, Chun Yan, who was waiting in the room, stepped forward. One step put the shoes on Nan Sheng's feet. "There is no need to do this in the future."

The first sentence was addressed to Daiyu, and the latter sentence was directed to Chunyan.Nan Sheng is not crazy enough to ask a child to put shoes on her. "As long as your heart is upright, I will not treat you badly here. You are still young, follow you and learn some skills from Sister Lan and Sister Shishan, and you will be able to gain a foothold in your in-law's house even when you are out of the family." You don't need to get close Waiter, understand?

Standing up, she walked to the makeup mirror and brushed her hair with a comb, while asking someone to bring a thick cloak for her and Daiyu.

Seeing Nan Sheng's actions, Daiyu knew that she was going to take her to see Feng Qier, but she still hesitated in her heart, "If I go, will I hurt the fetus?"

"Nonsense again. You haven't been to her place in the past two months?" He cast a glance at Daiyu, and felt sorry for her cautiousness, "She knows a few big characters, but she can't write them. You didn't help her do it. If something happened, it would have happened a long time ago." If it really happened that Daiyu's filial piety made Sister Feng's womb, it would be a joke.

It's really so powerful, it is estimated that Sister Feng will not be able to conceive.

Dress thickly, and asked the girl to prepare two hand stoves to hold each other.

After taking some medicinal materials for nourishing blood and nourishing the body from the private storehouse, and asked someone to share two portions of the fruits for Zijuan and Chunyan to take home for their younger sisters to eat, Nan Sheng took Daiyu to live with Sister Feng and Jia Lian small courtyard.

On New Year's Eve, the alleys were filled with red lanterns. Even if the maids didn't carry the lanterns, the road was brightly lit, but there were not many people.

The two of them were reported by Zijuan's family to have a son, so they were the first wave to visit Sister Feng.

Of course, apart from their sisters, it seems that only the three members of the Xue family who stayed in Dongkuayuan for their own New Year stay in Rongguo Mansion, and the other masters, big and small, are all in Ningguo Mansion.

Sister Feng's yard looked extremely quiet at this moment, the maids opened their mouths when they saw Nan Sheng and Dai Yu came and shouted into the house.

From the courtyard door to the room door, there is a section of courtyard to pass through. When Nansheng and Daiyu walked through the courtyard, Sister Feng's personal maid, Ping'er, also opened the curtain to welcome them out.

While asking Ping'er and Sister Feng with concern how she walked in, the three of them entered the room while talking.

As soon as she entered the room, Daiyu came to Sister Feng's bed without doubting that she was there, and anxiously asked Sister Feng's health on the bed.

Nan Sheng was half a beat too late, and had more time to observe Sister Feng's situation.Seeing this, I have a bottom line in my heart.

She just said, Mrs. Wang blatantly poached her heart, and this master, who was not at a disadvantage, didn't move at all.

It turned out that they were waiting for this day to pick their picks.
