The Jade of the Red Chamber

Lin Zhenyu greeted the old lady with a smile. Just as she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of the reddish corners of her sister's eyes, and the corners of her lips turned cold. Looking away from the corner of her eye, she saw Mrs. Wang's faintly smug expression and Aunt Xue's unsatisfied smile lines. , Zhenyu's eyes sharpened, she lowered her head and bowed to Jiamu.

After a few pleasantries, Zhenyu sat next to Daiyu, and nodded softly to her sister.

When Daiyu saw her elder brother's gentle expression, and her younger brother's worried eyes as she cuddled beside her, a sense of grievance suddenly came to her heart, her eye circles turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head to cover it up.Seeing Zhenyu's eyes, her expression was extremely cold for a moment, and Baochai couldn't help but feel a sudden shock when she saw it, but when she looked again, she was a smiling young man again.

Baochai was suspecting that she had read it wrong, when she heard her aunt laughing, "Young lady, why do you keep looking at the ground? Could it be that there is gold on the ground?"

Everyone looked at Daiyu, Daiyu was at a loss for a moment, covering the corners of her mouth with a veil, not knowing whether to raise her head, but suddenly she was hugged into a familiar arm.

Zhenyu leaned over and hugged her sister's little head tightly in her arms, and said with a smile: "Dai'er is joking with her brother, I'm afraid my brother played with Fuyu all day and didn't think about my sister." She smiled again Coax her: "Good sister, good Dai'er! How can my brother miss you, the gift I brought you is already in your room!"

Fu Yu also tugged at her sister's sleeve and said in a sticky voice, "Fu Yu also misses her! Fu Yu even brought her some delicious cakes!"

Everyone in the room laughed, and Mother Jia laughed and said, "Good Yuer, your brother and younger brother are thinking of you! If they dare not think of my Yuer, grandma will teach them for you!"

Daiyu rested her head on her elder brother's chest, her heart was sour and joyful. Just now, her second aunt praised her secretly and accused her of having no mother's upbringing, and insulted her own mother. Enduring her grievances, it would be better to see her elder brother protecting her like this now—the second aunt, or this magnificent Rongguo Mansion, is nothing more than an outsider, and the only ones who really love her are her elder brother and younger brother—only their own members of the Lin family!

Rubbing her brother's arm, Daiyu reluctantly left the "territory" that she used to occupy before she was five or six years old, and said angrily: "My brother is making fun of me again, and I have brought Xiao Fuer to ruin!" Pretty little appearance, the corners of the eyes are reddish, adding a touch of shame.

Sitting opposite Jia Baoyu, his eyes were straightened when he saw Daiyu's appearance - when Zhenyu turned her head and happened to see it, she was furious: "You really are a pervert! Lu beetle! When Dai'er was wronged Why did you go, you look like Brother Pig now!" If Zhenyu hadn't endured it, Zhenyu really wanted to go up and give him two kicks, and send him a "famous saying" by Mr. Lu Xun - pickle and show off talent!

Pointing to the exquisite music box placed on the table next to Jia Mu, Tan Chun smiled and said, "Brother Lin, this is a rare item brought by Auntie and Sister Bao, and even if there is a voice, the villain on it will still turn around."

Baochai lowered her face slightly, and said with a dignified smile: "It's not worth anything. My brother found it for me to play with because of my heart. If my sisters like it, I can give it to my sister."

"My son, there is no one who is so gentle and kind like you! Your brother gave it to you, and you take it and play with it yourself, so why do you give it to them!" Madam Wang said lovingly, supporting Baochai's hand.

Mother Jia was also dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's words and deeds just now. She really loved Jia Min. How could Wang not make her angry when she accused Sang Huai of scolding Huai, but after all, Wang was Baoyu's mother. ?Afterwards, sending Daiyu some good decorations or something is nothing more than that, it is not worth the grievances of Daiyu's children, so thinking about it like this, Jiamu suddenly felt that it was very appropriate, and put the matter aside in a blink of an eye. .

Zhenyu casually looked at the music box, and casually praised it a few times.

He reached out his hand and took out a gold-patterned red brocade box from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "So it's here, I think it's because the Xue family brother is envious of the big sister Xue's painstaking efforts to find things? Good sister, it's the brother's fault, isn't it?" I want to give it to you in private, since the younger sister of the Xue family is willing to show it to everyone, it is inevitable that my brother will also 'discover' it!"

As he spoke, he handed the brocade box to Daiyu, and said dotingly: "Open it and see if you like it."

The emphasis on "look" and "present" in his words made Mrs. Wang's face change slightly, Xue Baochai held the veil tightly, but her face did not change at all, her smile was still gentle.

In addition to Xichun, which is not yet clear about the three springs, both Yingchun and Tanchun have feelings, and they just don't know.

Daiyu looked at her elder brother and then at Fuyu before she unlocked the small lock on the brocade box. Xichun smiled and said, "It's such a delicate and small lock, but I've never seen it before." Then she urged Daiyu: " What is it? Sister Lin, take a look!"

Opening the brocade box, even Yingchun gasped: "What a delicate and beautiful jade hairpin! How do you make this?"

This is a white jade butterfly hairpin, which seems ordinary at first sight, but it is extraordinary when you look at it——on a branch made of white jade, there is a jade butterfly with wings ready to fly after the rain—— The butterfly wings are as thin as paper!The divine form seems to be alive, which can be described as a wonderful workmanship!On the other hand, there are some blue silks protruding from the edge of the butterfly's wings, which looks like a natural pattern!

Zhenyu put the hairpin on her younger sister carefully, nodded and said, "As expected, Dai'er is the best match!"

Daiyu held her hair up in her bun, she couldn't hide her smile.Everyone praised it, and the daughter loved it. Such beautiful and exquisite jewelry naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Mrs. Wang gouged out Zhenyu brothers and sisters in anger and jealousy, then glanced at the hairpin again in a blink of an eye, and smiled angrily: "Madam Lin has not grown up yet, and she won't talk about it with the sisters when she gets good things." Look at the difference!" Ignorant and petty!This good thing should be seen by the elders first or dedicated to the elders is the right way!

"Auntie is serious, I can't be more stingy with the things my brother gave me! If you like these jewelry, the sisters will come to me tomorrow, and I will have to open the box for the sisters to choose."

Zhenyu smiled and said: "It's mine, isn't it? I also brought some things for my sisters, but I forgot to mention it. Now it should be sent to your sisters' houses. This one just happened to happen, and it is elegant and just right. He Dai'er took it with her in a filial piety, so she put it in her sleeve."

Looking at Mrs. Wang again, she said, "I thought my aunt was the most dignified and kind, and I seldom wear these hairpins on weekdays. I was afraid that my aunt would be embarrassed, and she didn't like to dress up, but because it was a gift from a junior, that's why I didn't... It turned out to be mine."

Before Mrs. Wang could speak, she turned to Mother Jia and said with a smile: "I met a pair that is suitable for an old lady. It is red gold and covered with red emeralds, and only the old lady's grandeur and status can hold it back. It takes a lot of work to wear it , It will take two days to get it, and if I get it, my grandson will send it to you as soon as possible!"

Mrs. Wang said that she almost turned her head in anger, but Mother Jia still praised Zhenyu for her filial piety!

Aunt Xue looked at the expressions of everyone and said with a smile: "The old lady is so lucky, even her grandsons and granddaughters are so filial! No wonder the old lady likes it so much." She laughed again: "Don't talk about the old lady, I just look at these few Children, I also love it from the bottom of my heart!"

As he spoke, he looked at the three of Daiyu lovingly, then wiped the corners of his eyes suddenly, and said, "It's just that sister Min is not blessed, and she left so early." Seeing that Mother Jia was a little hesitant, she hurriedly smiled at Daiyu again. Said: "I live here now, and I have nothing to do. Feel free to come to me to play with your sister Bao in your spare time. Let's talk together, isn't it better than you being bored in the room by yourself?"

Daiyu felt awkward, but couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Auntie."

Satisfied, Mrs. Wang flicked the corner of her clothes, and said with a smile: "That's it, Bao girl is kind and generous, and the girls in the family have to follow suit." It’s better to move around more often.” Also learn some manners!

I didn't say a word, not to mention Zhenyu and Daiyu, but the faces of Qingkong and Weeping Willow were all ugly. Jinghu raised his head and gave Mrs. Wang a cold look, then bowed his head and stood quietly behind Daiyu.

When Aunt Xue heard about it, she hurriedly laughed and said, "This is what my sister said."

Mother Jia still had a smile on her face, glanced at Mrs. Wang without a trace, and said: "This is not a lie, it's not that I flatter you in front of my aunt and wife, it's absolutely true, counting from the 'four' girls in our family It's not as good as Bao girl."

Zhenyu sat on the chair, completely calm and only smiled.Xiao Fuyu was ignorant but sensible, and did not speak.For a while, Jia Mu was tired, leaving them to talk freely, and went to rest by themselves.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue talked about housework and human relations at length, while the others talked separately.

Lin Zhenyu made a piece of cake for Fu Yu, and said casually: "Just now I saw Huan'er, who is not a few years older than you, and Boy Lan. Fu Yu can go to play with them when he is bored."

When Mrs. Wang heard it, she quickly asked, "Where does Huan boy play? He runs around all day long!" Is it in front of the old lady's door?

"It's in the garden." Zhenyu smiled and looked at Mrs. Wang, "Speaking of Huan'er, it's not that my nephew is flattering my aunt. Although I didn't raise him with my second aunt, I heard that my aunt often asked him to write. My aunt is kind-hearted. Everyone in the house knows."

Mrs. Wang was surprised, is this praising her?But he didn't care, and smiled along with the words: "I don't dare to take credit for it, the good son taught by the ring boy also saved the old lady and the master from worrying."

Just waiting for her words, Zhenyu seemed to be gentle and said: "Speaking of which, Huan'er will be seven years old too? Well, it's time to go to school. I heard that my grandparents' family education is very good. Hey, if you want It's not that Fuyu is weak, it would be a good place to send her there."

Mrs. Wang's face stiffened, and she said calmly: "Boy Huan is weak and young, but I don't want him to suffer like this."

Zhenyu said with a smile: "It's my aunt's kindness, but Huan'er is a boy after all, and reading some books is the right way. Just now he said that if he can read all the characters, he will copy a whole book of scriptures for his aunt. Isn't it better?" Is it better to 'just' write the word 'Fu' now? Besides, brother Bao also has a companion, which is a way to get the best of both worlds, otherwise, what is a brother playing with the maids all day long!" Talking about other people's upbringing?Let's take a look at you, a good son who has been brought up by his own mother and is used to eating red and laughing!

Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to speak, Zhenyu said again leisurely: "This is not my opinion. It turned out that the second uncle was very worried when he talked about the upbringing of his children and grandchildren a few days ago! Where do I have such insight?" , you have a kind face and a wicked heart, I'm afraid even the second master has heard of your harsh treatment of the concubine.

Baoyu is ignorant and ignorant. He listened to what he said at this moment, but he didn't understand the deep meaning in it.He didn't care about Jia Huan any more. Seeing that Sister Lin was listening seriously, he couldn't help being flattered, and said with a smile, "That's good! Huan'er is going to school, and I'm also a companion. Master must be happy." Madam Wang was so angry that she couldn't vent her breath!

Zhenyu just smiled and didn't answer.

Mrs. Wang's smile froze on her face, and she never thought that this was what the master meant. She was resentful in her heart, so she had to forcefully press down, and said coldly: "That's it, let Huan boy go to the home school." She waved her hand and said: " But I'm tired, just kidding yourself." Aunt Xue, Baochai and others hurriedly followed, only Tanchun gave Lin Zhenyu a grateful look before leaving.

Zhenyu was silent, although Jia Huan was used as a raft this time, it was not a bad thing for him. Now Jia Huan is still young, although he is a little shy, but his behavior is not as wretched as later, on the contrary, there is still a desire in his eyes to break through Fan Cage's longing, although the Jia family's family is unbearable, after all, there is also a desire to learn. As long as he can work hard and follow Jia Zheng's temperament, he may have a bright future.
