Rebirth of the forest sister of the Red Chamber

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. Mr. Yang saw that Daiyu was young, and it was freezing in the cold. Even if the outer study was burned with charcoal fire, there would always be some inconvenience. After reporting to Lin Ruhai, he gave Daiyu a holiday , arrange some homework, and go to school after the beginning of spring, Daiyu will have a lot of free time, so she will talk with Jia Min and accompany her guests.

At the end of the year, each family began to send New Year gifts, except for those who were filial, and relatives and friends outside all parties did not make up for it one by one. After ten days of busyness, Jia Min finally took a breath, and saw Daiyu seriously embroidering with her head down. The little purse, the female red just got started, and Daiyu was not greedy and fast forward, and embroidered slowly, stitch by stitch.

"Tie your hands carefully, and don't keep your head down, be careful of the pain." Jia Min asked Furong to take away the needlework from Daiyu's hand, and the curtain outside the door was lifted, and Du Juan and Narcissus each held a lacquer tray and walked around After opening the big screen, Du Juan held it up first, and Jia Min picked it up and gestured at Daiyu, only then did he see that it was a fox fur lining with gold thread embroidery, and the outer layer was made of red six-petal plum blossom cluster satin. The cloak: "Well, it's very suitable for Yu'er." Called Thrush: "Turn around and put it away, and put it back on for the girl later."

Narcissus held the lacquer plate in his hand, which turned out to be a set of purple jade head covering. Jia Min personally put a six-petal plum blossom inlaid purple jade necklace on Daiyu and said: "This purple jade is a set, here is an extra piece, mother." Let someone engrave the word "Ping An", and my mother hopes that you will be safe and safe, and live your life as you like."

Follow your heart for a lifetime!

Holding the purple jade, Daiyu's eye circles were stained red by the sudden words, and when she blinked, tears trickled down her face.

"mother--"

Daiyu threw herself into Jia Min's arms and hugged her tightly, as if she wanted to pour out all the sadness of the past 20 years.

Jia Min stroked Daiyu's head, comforting her lightly.

Half an hour later, Daiyu gradually whispered in Jia Min's arms, Du Juan knelt down and carefully picked up Daiyu in Jia Min's arms, and went into the inner room.

"Let someone see when the master will come back. I have something important to say to the master." Jia Min changed into a long sable fur coat covered in snow and gold, and a long skirt of dark gold with palace ribbons wrapped in branches. After drinking a cup of ginseng water in the house, and letting the narcissus spread the word, Lin Ming's family said in the outer room: "Madam, Mrs. Rong sent someone to send a New Year's gift, wait outside."

"Come in."

Rose raised the heavy blue flower curtain, and Lin Ming's family brought in a lady wearing gold and silver and a big leather jacket, followed by four women carrying boxes, and the women left after putting down the boxes. In the ear room next to it, there will naturally be hot water and hot tea.

"The old slave pays respects to my aunt." The Lai family knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Min.

"Du Juan, hurry up and help Aunt Lai up! Rose, show Aunt Lai a seat." Jia Min hurriedly asked Du Juan to help Lai's family up, and the little maid who had seen it hurriedly took a stool covered with blue and white cushions, and Lai's family He handed the letter to Rose first, and then sat sideways to apologize.

"How is mother? How is eldest brother and sister-in-law? How is brother Lian? Is Sister Feng happy? How is second brother? How is second sister-in-law? How is brother Bao?" Jia Min pressed the letter under the cup and laughed again. Said: "Forget that it's cold outside, Mrs. Lai drinks some hot tea first to catch her breath."

The Lai family took a sip of the tea, and after hearing Jia Min's question, he put down the tea bowl, stood up and smiled and replied: "The old lady is still the same, and all the masters and ladies have asked the slaves to say hello to the aunt and wife, all the masters and ladies are well." Second Grandma Lian has only been happy for two months, and Second Master Bao has already entered school, and the outsiders all say that Second Master Bao's calligraphy is good."

"How are Brother Lang and the three nieces doing?" After receiving the copper hand warmer from Du Juan, Jia Min looked at the red gold hairpin on Lai's head, his eyes darkened.

"Back to my aunt, Brother Lan has also followed Master Bao's enlightenment to go to the family school. Sister Yingchun, Sister Tanchun, and Sister Xichun, the family invited a husband to teach at home, and Grandma Zhu taught sewing. Miss Yuanda is now serving as a female historian next to the empress in the palace, she is very honorable!" The Lai family's face was filled with joy.

"It's really a decent job!" Jia Min took over the conversation, paused, and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, and the wing room is ready, so stay here for a few days, and then I'll set off after I prepare the New Year ceremony. Forget it, I won’t let you miss the year.”

The kowtow of the Lai family was led by Du Juan to the wing room. Jia Min heard that he had gone away, and then got up and looked at the two boxes of New Year gifts with the support of Rose.

Mother Jia has always been fond of her only daughter, so when she opened the box, in addition to the fashionable gadgets in the capital and a few antiques, there were those with sticks for Daiyu, which were children's things, and those with sticks for Lin Ruhai. There are a few paintings and calligraphy from the former dynasty, as well as paper, ink, brush and inkstone, all filled the box.

"It's just as usual."

Jia Min asked someone to carry it down, and saw that the sky outside had already darkened, with snowflakes floating, and told Lin Ming's family: "The weather is getting colder, and those who spend the night outside should send out charcoal fires and other things. Don't be short. If someone sells charcoal, buy more, don’t underestimate the price, it’s not easy for them, anyone who stays at night can get a bowl of wine every night, if you find that you have drunk too much, you will be thrown out immediately!”

Lin Ming's family agreed, and said with a smile: "Madam is the most merciful, the carbon of that big cart is only one or two taels of silver, I'm afraid it's cold today, and the poor don't know how to celebrate the New Year."

Jia Min looked at Lin Ming's family, with a lake blue cotton jacket on his upper body, a long gray and green skirt on his lower body, a single thin gold hairpin on his head, and a little makeup on his face. He couldn't help laughing and said: "You will wear this today Come out? Look at the grandeur of the Duke’s Mansion, every year, and you don’t learn a thing or two? I don’t know how bright the hairpin is, it’s rewarded every year, so why don’t you wear it?”

Lin Ming's family pulled down the clothes on his body, and said honestly: "I don't know how many times this silk and satin one has passed through the hands of the slaves. The first grandpa, first the old lady, the master, the wife gave the servant's family no less than this." Count——" gestured with the palm of my hand "but the slave is a person who wants to work and do things, and silk and satin are always uncomfortable to wear. Is there anyone in Yangzhou who doesn't recognize the face of the slave? Is it okay to wear this clothes when you go out during the Chinese New Year? That's it, it's hard to wear it every day, what has it become! Besides, the good-looking wife rewarded several pieces, and the servant wanted to keep it for the children. If the old face goes out and wears flowers and silver, it will become an old man. It's a fairy!"

"You bastard, I just said one word, and you can say ten words!" Jia Min laughed from ear to ear along with the maids.

"The slave will leave first." Lin Ming's family also laughed, and hurried down to do some work. It was getting late, and after finishing the work, they could go back to the backyard and have dinner with the family directly. They didn't dare to waste time.

According to the Lin family's family rules, all the stewards of the married family can live in the backyard, and if the children want to quit their citizenship, they have to move out to live elsewhere. Like Lin Ming's family and Lin Zhong's family, they are servants for generations and have their own family rules House rules.

"Master is back!"

Jia Min was in a daze, but when he heard that Lin Ruhai had returned, he couldn't sit still.

When Lin Ruhai arrived in the outer room, he took off his cloak first, threw it to Rose, flicked the snowflakes on his body, and then entered the inner room, and happened to bump into Jia Min head-on, Lin Ruhai didn't say a word, watching Jia Min's cheeks flushed, Can't help but hold Jia Min's hand, and sit in with each other: "Is there someone from Beijing?"

Jia Min served Lin Ruhai warm tea, and asked people to step back first.

Lin Ruhai took out the letter, read it within two or three lines, and put it aside casually, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"My mother-in-law is a good plan."

"Master, do we need to adopt a son?" Jia Min tried her best not to let herself think about Baoyu's future as mentioned in the letter. No backing.

"I have my own arrangements for this matter." Lin Ruhai knew the nature of his wife who had been with him for many years, so he just patted Jia Min's hand. "You just need to tell your mother-in-law that Yu'er is still young, so it's not appropriate to mention marriage for now, and don't worry about anything else at home. I think your complexion is better than before. It seems that Doctor Zhang is still very talented and practical." .”

When Jia Min heard her husband mention this, she put the bad things away and talked about the benefits of Dr. Zhang: "I used to sleep very uneasy, but now I can sleep well, and I can even eat more rice. some."

"That's good, it's getting more and more popular outside, madam, you should be more careful!" Lin Ruhai felt much more at ease.
