'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber
Chapter 34
Jia Mu laughed loudly and said, "You must be too tired from the busy work these days, and your eyes are dazzled. Go back early and have a rest."
Jiamu sent Wang Xifeng away, her complexion darkened, and she asked Yuanyang to help her go to bed. Jiamu closed her eyes, and Yuanyang sat by the bed and watched the embroidery.
Mother Jia sighed and said, "Go out too, and tell your daughters-in-law that you don't have to come back today. I have a bad appetite and I don't want to eat any more."
Zicuckoo wanted to persuade Jiamu, but at a glance, she found that Jiamu's face was not as usual, and she didn't dare to say more, so she went down and made arrangements in a low voice.
Besides, after Wang Xifeng came out from Jiamu's place, Zhou Rui's family invited her to Mrs. Wang's place.Mrs. Wang fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand with a sullen face. She was sitting on the west kang, which was covered with half-worn blue satin as a backrest.
Wang Xifeng didn't dare to ask Mrs. Wang what she meant directly, and sat down beside Mrs. Wang with a smile, touching the old backrest.
"It's been three or two years, it's time to change."
"It doesn't matter if it's old or new, let's hold on for another year." Mrs. Wang said softly.
Wang Xifeng nodded with a smile, and seeing her look relaxed, he dared to ask Mrs. Wang if she needed anything.
Mrs. Wang remembered the way Daiyu looked at her before, lowered her eyes, moved her eyes, and sighed.He waved his hand and said nothing, and asked Wang Xifeng to go back.
Wang Xifeng saw Mrs. Wang's face into her eyes, knew that she was in a bad mood, she must have something on her mind but didn't think of any way to deal with it.At this time, she didn't dare to provoke her, she ran away as soon as she could, so she listened to Mrs. Wang's words, and hurriedly smiled and saluted to leave.Before she turned around and took a few steps, Mrs. Wang suddenly stopped her again.
"Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is not in good health. You and her have always been on good terms, so you should always take time to visit her. After all, people are sick and suffering, and no one cares about it. I can't help but feel lonely."
Wang Xifeng nodded and said yes, she had long wanted to visit Brother Rong's wife, but she was so busy these days. ♀The Merry Supreme of Another World finished entertaining Gu's family today, and it was a big event. She was thinking that she would be free for two days.Hearing Mrs. Wang's mention at this time, she said joyfully, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. I'll go see her tomorrow."
Mrs. Wang nodded, and then said: "Usually when your sisters go to Dongfu, thanks to the care of Brother Rong and his daughter-in-law, I also ask them to go and have a look. Baoyu has a special permission tomorrow for him not to go to school, but also to go together. He is sick, so they are not allowed. Nao, just take a look and show your heart. By the way, Bao girl is asking me about her condition today, thanks to her reading, call her too."
Wang Xifeng quickly agreed, and after waiting for a while, Mrs. Wang said nothing before leaving.Going back out of the door, she saw Zhou Rui's family coming from the opposite side. Wang Xifeng saw that she was holding a letter in her hand and asked where it belonged.
Zhou Rui's family handed the letter to Wang Xifeng, and said strangely: "It's another letter from Mrs. Lin, this one came last month, and it's coming again this month. Second Mistress, you're smart, what's going on here?"
Wang Xifeng smiled and stuffed the letter to Zhou Rui's family, and said with a sneer, "Think I'm a roundworm in his stomach? Most of the news in this letter is related to Sister Lin. It's no wonder that it's only natural for a father to love his daughter. After returning from Yangzhou for a few days, I wrote a letter to Uncle Lin every day, just like the previous few years."
Zhou Rui's family sighed: "It's better to be your biological father, and not kiss anyone else."
Wang Xifeng deliberately looked away from Zhou Rui's family, and smiled without speaking.
Realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Zhou Rui's family quickly slapped him and apologized.
Wang Xifeng didn't say much, and urged Zhou Rui's family to send a letter to the old lady.Zhou Rui's family nodded, saluted, and hurried to Mrs. Wang's room.Wang Xifeng looked back coldly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Ping'er followed suit, feeling emotional in his heart: After all, if she regards Mrs. Wang as her own master, sister Zhou must return to her before she dares to report to the old lady.
"Let's go. Wang Xifeng called Ping'er, and walked back while thinking about what Mrs. Wang said just now.
Mrs. Wang explained that she asked her to call her sisters, especially Baoyu and Baochai.Baoyu is a brother, so it's normal to mention it.In particular, the meaning of Baochai is different. Baochai is not counted in the "sisters" she mentioned before. Then Daiyu and Baochai are both relatives. Does Mrs. Wang mean that she is not called Daiyu?
Wang Xifeng remembered that when she saw the eldest wife of the Gu family today, Mrs. Wang was blackened by Daiyu for a moment. Others might not have seen that, but she could have seen it clearly.And afterwards, she also felt something was wrong.Madam Wang just came out to teach Daiyu a lesson?
If all this is as she expected, Wang Xifeng felt that Mrs. Wang must have noticed Daiyu's abnormality as she did.
"Ping'er, how do you look at Miss Lin coldly today?" Wang Xifeng was a little uncertain, and wanted to seek approval from Ping'er.
Ping'er wondered why Wang Xifeng asked her this question, but she didn't pay much attention to Daiyu today, most of the time she looked at Baochai.Ping'er thought carefully about the scene of Daiyu in his mind, and shook his head blankly.
"As usual, dignified and beautiful, endearing." Ping'er tried hard to think about something special, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Ah, the clothes you are wearing today are bright and beautiful, making you beautiful and delicate. Even I wonder why I am not a man."
Wang Xifeng sneered, cast a blank look at Ping'er, and scolded: "What about the man, can you marry him?"
Ping'er smiled mischievously, entered the room, waited for Wang Xifeng to change clothes, and served tea.After Wang Xifeng took a breather, he asked again: "I saw the matter of Mrs. Gu's family today. She didn't talk to Miss Lin very much, and she didn't look at her much. On the contrary, she talked a lot with Miss Bao and praised her. She has a lot of words. Tell me, did she miss our Miss Lin?"
Wang Xifeng snorted coldly, and scolded: "No brains! I saw that this could be done. Mrs. Gu's family set her sights on Sister Lin at the first sight. When you were confused, I saw it clearly. Mrs. Gu's family The smile on her mouth when she entered the door is the proof. She didn't ask much about Sister Lin, she must have inquired about it behind her back. People like the Gu family marry a daughter-in-law, naturally they don't listen to anyone's one-sided words, and they are willing to come to meet people It is enough to show that they have made sufficient preparations in advance and have approved it in all aspects. This time, I guess it is just to see the behavior and appearance, to see if it is the same as the legend, the same, and the matter will be settled gone."
When Ping'er heard this, his face showed joy.He said happily: "Then there will be a big happy event in our house. Miss Lin is married well, and Second Grandma will follow suit."
Wang Xifeng sighed: "Oh, that's right, I thought so." That's why she took the initiative to send Daiyu off at the first time, but it's a pity that Daiyu seems to hate her.
Wang Xifeng asked herself that she had always treated Daiyu well, except for the matter of the clothes, but how could Daiyu know about her such a secret, unless someone told her.Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er who was laughing in front of him, and a name flashed in his mind.Yes, it must be Nanny Chen.She is the only one in her room who has a deep relationship with Daiyu.Moreover, she and Jia Lian had indeed talked about it on the last night Chen Nanny stayed, and it is unknown if she overheard it.
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng wished she could slap her in the mouth; while hating her own mouth, she also hated herself for being confused.Seeing Sister Lin's future prospects, such a person should try to win her over, but now she is completely offended.Wang Xifeng couldn't help hating Nanny Chen's talkativeness, luckily she ran fast, otherwise she would definitely die!
Things will be more troublesome tomorrow!
Mrs. Wang looked down on Daiyu, and the job of neglecting Daiyu fell on such an innocent person as her.This made her completely offend Daiyu.
Wang Xifeng rubbed her temples irritably, thinking about it, trying to find a way.It is a good way to follow Mrs. Wang's order and win Daiyu as she wished.
"I don't know what Uncle Lin wrote in that letter. You go to the old lady and wait there. When the old lady reads the letter, you can ask Yuanyang." Wang Xifeng knew that Ping'er and Yuanyang had a good relationship, so she said this.
After a while, Ping'er came to report out of breath: "Second Mistress, guess what, the letter said that Mrs. Lin will come to Beijing soon. Now the housekeeper Zhou Pu has arrived first and is looking for a house in the capital city. The old lady also said, please Second Lord Lian cares."
Wang Xifeng took a breath in surprise, and then his face returned to calm.She pondered in her heart: If Mrs. Wang knew this letter, she would not know what expression she would have.
It seems that Daiyu will not stay in Jia's residence for long, if he wants to win her over, he has to speed up.She couldn't be offended by what happened tomorrow, Wang Xifeng's mind turned quickly, and finally she came up with an idea.She asked Ping'er to send the white and red fox furs she bought half a month ago, as well as some rare items from the palace, after dark.
Before Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng was afraid that Daiyu would not accept her, so she specially instructed: "Just say it's for Brother Lin, she won't accept it."
Wang Xifeng waited anxiously in the room for less than half an hour, only to see Ping'er take it back in vain, she was happy now, and felt relieved.
Besides, after Niu Shi, the eldest wife of the Gu family, came back from the Jia family, she had been thinking about the marriage that the old man had pointed out to her eldest son.Niu waited anxiously until it was dark before her husband, who was busy with official duties every day, returned.
Niu waited on her husband to change his clothes, and took his son Gu Ling to the old lady's room to say hello.As usual, the old lady would chat with her second wife, Mrs. Li, after dinner, accompanied by sisters Rutang and Rumei.The rest of the brothers and daughters-in-law dispersed early.
When Niu Shi and others came in, the old man of the Gu family followed behind.
Mrs. Li hurriedly brought sisters Rutang and Rumei to salute, Gu Yitai sighed, didn't even take a second look, waved his hand as a courtesy, and sat straight in the upper seat.
Only then did Gu Ling come forward to ask for the gift.
Gu Yitai looked at Gu Ling's cold face and got angry.
"Grandpa owes you eight hundred hangs?"
Gu Ling nodded respectfully, and didn't even bother to move his eyeballs after hearing what the old man said, still staring at the front with a blank expression.
"You're talking!" Gu Lian couldn't stand it, slapped his thigh and scolded his son.
"No owe!"
"..." The scene suddenly became quiet.
The author has something to say: Do you like it?he?
Jiamu sent Wang Xifeng away, her complexion darkened, and she asked Yuanyang to help her go to bed. Jiamu closed her eyes, and Yuanyang sat by the bed and watched the embroidery.
Mother Jia sighed and said, "Go out too, and tell your daughters-in-law that you don't have to come back today. I have a bad appetite and I don't want to eat any more."
