'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian frowned, listening to what his daughter-in-law said made sense.After thinking for a while, he said, "When Sister Lin gets married, how can Uncle Lin have the nerve to keep him here alone? You're overthinking it."

Wang Xifeng closed the account book, sighed and said, "Forget me thinking too much. Do you think I'm so stingy? Look at your family's messy accounts. You can do anything with more money. You are so tight. You have to calculate and fool thousands of people every month. It is not easy for the rest of the population to eat."

Jia Lian listened indiscriminately and apologized, fearing that Wang Xifeng would chat with him about the accounts again, so he squeezed her shoulders and coaxed her with a smile.After a while, the husband and wife rolled on the bed.

Nanny Chen coaxed sister Qiao to sleep, and came to Wang Xifeng's house to ask for leave.

Ping'er was embroidering outside, and Nanny Chen approached with a smile, intending to ask Second Grandma if she was free, but suddenly heard a faint panting sound from the back room, Nanny Chen blushed immediately, thinking that it was a bad luck for her to come.Turning around to leave, Ping'er, who was doing needlework, looked at her and stopped Madam Chen.

"What's the matter?" Ping'er asked her.

Mother Chen said with a smile: "It's nothing important, it's just that my little sister moved here from Yangzhou, and she sent me a message to go and have a look. I see that sister Qiao'er is safe here, sir. I have nothing to do for a day, so I want to ask my second grandma to ask for a day off and go to my sister's house to visit." Chen Momo glanced in the direction of the back room meaningfully, and sighed: "But I came here by accident. .”

Ping'er laughed when he heard the words, and said: "It's a big deal, you go ahead, I'll talk to Second Grandma later." After thinking about it, he asked again: "Which house did you go to? Second Grandma asked me, It’s also very convenient to answer.”

Chen Momo hurriedly said: "The merchant Chu's house is just two streets away, and it turned out to be the residence of General Pingnan."

When Ping'er heard this, he expected that the family was a big one.As a merchant, it must be difficult for the Chu family to be able to live in an area where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather like the General's Mansion, and there may be someone in the court.Coincidentally, when she was serving Second Master Lian, she heard him mention a merchant family named Chu, who seemed to be an imperial merchant just like the Xue family. (

It's just that the Xue family handles the silk clothing needed for the Queen's internal affairs, and the Chu family is mainly responsible for the transportation of military fodder, food, horses, etc.This business is small and big, compared to the Xue family, naturally it is many times stronger.The Chu family also set up Tongming Bank and restaurants among the people, and there are many properties of them in various places. It can be said that they are a big family on the wealthy side, and they are a lot more grand than the Xue family.I heard that the Chu family was able to expand and develop so unscrupulously because it relied on the power of the King of England.

The same surname is Chu, both of them are in business, and they live in an unusual place. Combining these points together, Ping'er immediately understood that the Chu family that Nanny Chen was talking about was the same family that Jia Lian was talking about.

Since he is a powerful family, he naturally dare not neglect, Ping'er needs to ask about the situation of Nanny Chen and sisters in detail, and only after she understands it thoroughly, she will let Nanny Chen go.

After Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were lingering, Ping'er went in to take care of her. While serving Wang Xifeng to take a bath, she talked about Nanny Chen.

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng smiled lightly and said, "She is considered a lucky one. You have to look around these few days to see if there is any suitable person to take care of Qiao'er. Mother Chen may not be here for long."

Ping'er smiled and said: "Look at what you said, she is a slave in our mansion, isn't it a word from you whether she can go or not, and she can't say anything if she is kept with a deed of prostitution." Ping'er said so, It was just a joke to comfort Wang Xifeng, she knew that this man would definitely be let go.

"It's rare to have someone who is stable, and I don't want to let her go. But I can't let her sisters not be reunited for our own sake." Wang Xifeng waited for Ping'er to dry her body, put on her clothes, and lean half lazily on the kang Come on, drink tea.

Ping'er smiled and ordered the maids to scoop up water and remove the tub.At this time, Jia Lian from the other room tidied up and entered the room. Seeing Ping'er busy, she suppressed a smile and walked towards Wang Xifeng in a serious manner. When passing by Ping'er, she secretly touched her buttocks, which made the beautiful woman's almond-eyed eyes angry. Half crazy and half angry.

Wang Xifeng gave Jia Lian a blank look, put down the tea in his hand, and said sharply to Ping'er, "Hurry up and clean it up."

Ping'er responded, and hurriedly urged the servant girl to carry the wooden bucket, while she ran out quickly with the copper basin blushing. "The Perfect Maid"

Jia Lian knew that Wang Xifeng had a taste, so she changed the subject with a smile, "I heard that the younger sister of my daughter's nanny is in the Chu family?"

"Well, it's just a concubine's room, and I'm still favored. I reckoned that her sister wanted to redeem her, so I asked Ping'er to find someone to prepare for it."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Yes, this is a good opportunity to make friends with the Chu family."

Wang Xifeng gave Jia Lian a blank look, and said with a sneer, "Auntie, we don't mind losing our position by trying to curry favor with him now."

Jia Lian's face turned pale, and she sat beside Wang Xifeng unhappily.

Wang Xifeng kicked Jia Lian lightly with his foot, and said with a smile, "Look at you, you get angry when you talk about it. The Chu family is rich and powerful, so it's good to make friends. Our Zhuangzi can make money if he takes a small job that the Chu family doesn't want. An interest of seven or eight hundred taels. It’s just a friendship, not a curry favor. Look, I’ll let the Chu family curry favor with us.”

Jia Lian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he put his arms around Wang Xifeng with a smile and asked her what she noticed.Wang Xifeng just smiled and said nothing, and told Jia Lian, "Just wait and see."

……

Since Lin Dian went to school, Daiyu is free every day.The Sanchun sisters went to play with Daiyu when they had time.

Baoyu also came two days ago, because Daiyu wanted to drag Lin Dian every day, so she ignored him at all, and Baoyu didn't come again.

Today he heard that Lindian had a husband, and he had classes in the front yard.In the morning, he deliberately pretended to be sick. Mother Jia felt sorry for him and allowed him not to go to school.

Baoyu lay on the bed for a while, and when Jia Mu left, he put on a red satin robe that showed off his air, looked around in the mirror, and felt that everything was fine before heading towards the Cuiyu Pavilion.

Meeting Baochai on the road, Baoyu asked her curiously, "Where are you going?"

Baochai looked at Baoyu with a smile, looked at Feiyang, and said, "I will go wherever Brother Bao goes."

Baoyu felt fascinated and asked, "Could it be possible that you also go to Sister Lin's place?"

Baochai's eyes dimmed, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, she blinked at Baoyu and nodded.

"When Sister Lin came back, I was ill. My mother took care of me, and neither of us went to pick her up. I came here today to accuse her."

Baoyu laughed and said, "That's kind, let's go along the way."

So the two walked and chatted.

Baochai said: "I heard that sister Lin came back this time and brought a younger brother, Lin Dian?"

Hearing this, Baoyu sighed, and said helplessly, "No, he is an ignorant child who always has to bother Sister Lin to take care of her. Sister Lin is not in good health, so she obviously needs to be taken care of by others, and now she has to take care of her." He. That child is not usually capricious. When I was at my grandmother's place yesterday, I wanted to take the opportunity to talk to my sister, but he stood between us so blindly that I didn't say a word to my sister Lin. "

Baoyu figured that if Lin Dian was not here today, he would have to have a good time with Daiyu this time.

Baochai heard the meaning of Baoyu's words, the smile on the corner of her mouth froze for a while, and then disappeared without a trace.

When the two arrived at Daiyu's residence, as soon as they entered the house, they heard the voices of the sisters playing in the back room.After entering the room, I saw Daiyu and Tanchun playing chess by the window. In the blink of an eye, each side lost a piece, fighting fiercely.Meanwhile, Yingchun and Xichun, who were watching the battle, watched with enthusiasm and kept cheering.

After the maid informed, Yingchun and Xichun smiled and called Baochai and Baoyu to come and see.Daiyu and Tanchun stopped their hands, raised their heads and smiled at them, and continued to bow their heads and play chess.

Half an hour later, the two were still playing chess, one game after another, Yingchun and Xichun couldn't get enough of it, so they also asked the servant girl to play a game, and the two went to play chess separately.Baoyu was bored waiting, but refused to let go of this opportunity, and asked Baochai if he wanted to play chess.

Baochai was eating melon seeds, and when she heard Baoyu's words, she sneered.Co-authoring, she is just the object of killing time when Baoyu waits for Daiyu.

Baochai felt displeased, pretended to yawn, refused Baoyu, got up and left.

So Baoyu was left alone in the room, he ate a piece of fruit, a piece of pastry, and ate a few melon seeds... Another half an hour passed, and Daiyu and Tanchun had no intention of stopping.

Baoyu couldn't help but stop and said, "Don't get off, no one will accompany me."

Tanchun lost three rounds in a row, became more and more courageous, and was addicted to it. Hearing Baoyu's complaint, he didn't think much about it, and laughed at him: "I really think I am the grandfather, and we all support you."

In the past, Baoyu laughed it off. He has a good temper and is the most resistant to others making fun of him.But today he has something on his mind, and his heart is tied to Daiyu, the longer he waits, the more fragile and sensitive his heart becomes.Now when he heard Tan Chun shivering at his words, he was immediately dumbfounded. Daiyu ignored him, was it because of this?Did she think he was too delicate?Baoyu hated that she was not a thing, and complained that she did not do well at ordinary times, which provoked Daiyu to dislike her.

Baoyu's idiot is more likely to get into a dead end and shed tears sadly.Confused in his mind, he walked out sadly.Seeing this scene, Xiren hugged Baoyu, shook his shoulder, and asked him what was wrong.

"They ignored me, and blamed me for being annoying." As he spoke, Baoyu burst into tears.

Daiyu found that Baoyu was not normal, and thought that he might be crazy.

Daiyu doesn't care whether Baoyu is crazy or not, what she cares about is that Baoyu can't be crazy in her room.If this spread, it seemed that she had done something to drive Baoyu crazy.She knows the people in Jia's house too well. Whether it's your problem or not, it will depend on you in the end.In the future, some people will use this as a talking point and always associate her with Baoyu, so don't expect to have any reputation as a boudoir.
