'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

Xiangling nodded resignedly, took the colorful brocade and went back to report to Aunt Xue.Aunt Xue sighed, complaining in her heart that Xiangling was useless in her work, insulted her a few words, and quickly sent her away.

Now Baochai's room lacks two useful maids, and Aunt Xue has to choose someone to fill them.However, when they came to Kyoto, due to the long journey, the number of servants they brought was much reduced. They were all radishes and pits, and it was difficult to find suitable ones to fill them.Aunt Xue had no choice but to let go of a second-class maid beside her, and then promote one from the fourth-class maid. In this way, as a substitute, the positions of two rough maids would be vacated, and then they would buy someone from Yazi to fill them.

After careful consideration, Aunt Xue chose a maid named Qiuyue beside her. She was two years older than Baochai.Another man named Liao Er was picked up, who was about the same age as Baochai. He was smarter and more handsome, and had a bit of the demeanor of Pinger, a servant girl in the Rongfu.

Aunt Xue took him to Baochai's room, and only after she passed the inspection did he leave him for her.Aunt Xue saw that Baochai was in a good mood today, she smiled a little more than the previous two days, she was a little more at ease, she hugged her daughter in her arms, and said many caring words.

As she spoke, Aunt Xue wiped away her tears, feeling sorry for Baochai, and said, "My poor son, I let you encounter such a horrible thing. This thing is not bad for us, but it makes us feel ashamed. It's all the fault of those two maids who caused trouble! They have been dealt with by your aunt, and no one dares to mess with them anymore. Your aunt said, you can do whatever you want in the future, and you don't have to hide at home and stay out. We are doing well Sit upright, and the rumors will be self-defeating."

Baochai smiled and wiped away tears for her mother. "After chatting with Sister Xichun today, I feel much better. My mother knows about me and has a big heart, so she won't mind about it." Baochai immediately regained her former self-confidence when she heard that it was handled properly. (Master, madam calls you to farm) Thinking about this matter carefully, she has not been wronged in vain, but also gained some benefits.This scandal happened to Baoyu, so Aunt Jia and Mother Jia naturally felt ashamed of her, and they loved her even more these days. They sent people to see her every day, and good things were sent to her like running water.

Besides, Xiangling received a lesson from Aunt Xue, felt wronged consciously, and was in a bad mood, so don't hide in the room and cry.Coincidentally, Xue Pan came back from outside, twisting two small noodle figures in his hands, trying to tease Xiangling.He quietly pushed the door open and entered the room, and saw Xiangling sitting with her back facing her, approaching her quietly with her waist bent, while she was not paying attention, he hugged Xiangling tightly from behind, pouted and pecked Xiangling's cheek After taking a sip, it felt moist, Xue Pan licked his lips, it was salty.Only then did Xue Pan realize that Xiangling was crying, his heart was itchy, and he wanted to propose to Xiangling, so he was very patient, hugged her tightly in his arms, and asked her why.

Xiang Ling didn't dare to say that she was wronged by his mother, she turned around, ignored Xue Pan, and said angrily, "It's useless to say it."

After hearing this, Xue Pan understood a little bit, knowing that she had received some anger from her mother, so she quickly took out the two little noodle figures to tease Xiangling.Two small doughnuts, one male and one female, each held by Xue Pan, face to face, leaned towards the doughnuts and kissed.As a result, Xiangling's face turned red, and she dared not look at it again.

After the two lingered for a while, Xue Pan became more gentle and obedient, and Xiang Ling told Xue Pan about sending the cloth.

"Mom doesn't know how to handle things. I'll talk to her tomorrow."

When Xiangling heard this, she pinched Xue Pan's arm and complained: "You go and say it now, isn't my wife the one who sued me? She doesn't want to talk about you, but she only blames me when she turns around. I tell you this because I want to talk to you. Said that my wife has been in a bad mood for the past few days, you should be more honest outside, don't cause trouble, and you should be filial to her."

Xiangling was wronged and ignored herself, but still missed others. Her pure and kind heart was very lovable. ♀Pearl Returning Lan Suo Junxin Xue Pan hugged Xiangling tightly with a smile, gnawed and kissed, and lingered several times.

In the morning of the next day, Xiangling was exhausted and got up late, so Xue Pan had no idea where to go fooling around.After Zhen'er waited for her to get up, she brought a sandalwood box.

"Grandpa sent it."

Xiangling opened the box, and inside were a pair of emerald jade bracelets, a pair of jasper and silver flower hairpins with cirrus clouds and auspicious patterns, and four palace flowers of different colors.

Zhen'er said: "These flowers are fresh in the palace. There are sixteen flowers piled up with gauze. The uncle picked four and left them for you. I said that it is okay to give them as favors."

Xiangling immediately understood Xue Pan's meaning, smiled with satisfaction, and ordered Zhen'er to quietly give the flowers to Daiyu, as an apology for her recklessness yesterday.

So Zhen'er took the flowers out of Xiangling's room and turned to the west corner gate of Lixiangyuan. On the way, he passed Aunt Xue's bedroom. When I came out of the house, I realized that Mrs. Wang had come.Zhen'er immediately walked out of Lixiangyuan, and met Zhou Rui's family coming here on the way.Zhen'er smiled and asked where Zhou Rui's family was going.

Zhou Rui's family sighed and said: "Hey! There are a lot of things going on today. I ran for half a day and didn't take a sip of water. Now I'm going to report to my wife and I'm done."

Zhen'er heard that Zhou Rui's family was busy, so she didn't dare to delay, she left with a smile, and went straight to Cuiyu Pavilion where Daiyu lived.Zhen'er entered the courtyard, only to hear a few maidservants in the wing room listening to calls, Zijuan and Xueyan were coming out with the tea cup in their hands, Zhen'er knew that Daiyu was in the west wing room. In the main room, he turned around and went in, only to see Daiyu lying on the couch reading, and Zhen'er sent flowers and explained the reason.Daiyu was stunned for a long time before recovering. She collected the flowers and got up to thank Zhen'er, but Zhen'er stopped her in time.

Nanny Wang knew that Zhen'er was sending flowers for Xiangling, so she changed her attitude towards Xiangling, warmly entertained Zhen'er for tea, and took another small plate with three pieces of qiqiao snacks for Zhen'er to try.

Zhen'er picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, biting off the soft and rotten skin of the dim sum. Inside were hazelnuts wrapped in honey, which was sweet and delicious, just what she liked to eat, and she muttered to herself while eating: "Miss Lin has a lot of good things here. Yesterday my girl went back and saw that I was dizzy and hot, so she gave me the ginger grass tea that Miss Lin gave me, which saved me from getting a cold." After finishing the small dish, Zhen'er wiped her mouth reluctantly and said, "Well, it's delicious. What's the name of this snack? Where did you buy it? I'll get some back too. My girl will definitely like it."

"You can't get it. It's called Qiqiao dim sum. It's something from the palace. An old concubine brought it yesterday. My grandmother shared a plate with me. It just so happens that I have a cough and can't eat sweets. You can take it back to your family." girl."

No wonder it's so delicious, it turned out to be a dim sum in the palace!

Mother Wang wrapped it up with a smile and handed it to Zhen'er. Zhen'er realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, felt a little embarrassed, and was too shy to accept it.Daiyu persuaded her again and again that Zhen'er knew that Miss Lin was sincerely sending her off, so she thanked her a thousand times and happily left with a snack in her arms.

After a while, Zhou Rui's family came with a large box, and in the corner of the two-foot-square empty box lay two earth-green and gray-yellow palace flowers alone.Daiyu picked up the palace flower and looked at it carefully, confirming again and again that the palace flower is indeed new, but the color looks really dirty, so it's no wonder that Lin Daiyu was dissatisfied at the time.

Zhou Rui's family didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile that the palace flower was given to Daiyu by his concubine.

Daiyu winked at Zijuan, and Zijuan took out the box and put together the two palace flowers from Zhou Rui's family and the one from Zhen'er.

With sharp eyes, Zhou Rui's family saw four brightly colored palace flowers in the box.Comparing the two palace flowers she sent with the original four, they looked like two lumps of shit piled on top of the flowers.Zhou Rui's family thought that the materials of the four flowers in the box would be more exquisite, so they leaned over to take a closer look, and found that the style was exactly the same as the one she sent, only the color was much brighter, so there was such a big difference.

Zhou Rui's family's face became embarrassing, damn it!If you know that Miss Lin has already had a palace flower, there is a comparison, the first one to come here to give it away, and Miss Lin chooses closely, the gap will not be so big.That's good, it's better not to send flowers, it's really a slap in the face.But it was hard for her to do things for the concubine in vain, and finally ended up offending others.

Zhou Rui's family was so embarrassed that they didn't know what to say, and Daiyu was not polite to her, but as usual, she rewarded Zhou Rui's family with money for running errands.Zhou Rui's family's affairs were not handled well, so he dared to take money and said no, and finally Zijuan forced it into his hands.After thanking Zhou Rui's family for their helplessness, he went out with a face full of guilt.

Granny Xia was waiting outside with a jug of wine. The last time her granddaughter, Chan'er, was helped by Zhou Rui's family, she couldn't forget her kindness.

"Last month, Miss Lin gave me a jug of high-quality green plum wine. I drank it in vain. This good thing is only for you."

Zhou Rui's family weighed the money in their hands, and it was already heavier than ten taels of gold.They dared to accept wine from Mrs. Xia, but shook their heads.Grandma Xia thought that Zhou Rui's family disliked her, so she immediately wiped away her tears. He was not afraid of anything else, but what she was most afraid of was that Zhou Rui's family would tell the second wife what happened to the cicada, and then their grandparents and grandchildren would be able to live to the end.

Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to take the wine.His eyeballs moved, and he handed the money in his hand to Mrs. Xia.

"Help me return it to Miss Lin. Just tell her that I didn't do a good job in today's matter. I don't dare to accept the reward money. The girl insists on rewarding it. Wait for the next time."
