Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

But Lin Daiyu was suffering when she saw that her niece was treated very differently when she entered the mansion.

Seeing Baoyu and thinking of his abnormally silent behavior today, he couldn't help stabbing a few words, but Baoyu didn't even want to answer:

"How can it be the same? The girl's house I see on weekdays is at best a mortal pearl, although precious but not uncommon. This year, my younger sister is a fairy-like figure. How can a mortal like me get close to it?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Daiyu, but also Baochai and Sanchun next to her were a little stiff, but they were not like Lin Daiyu, who was used to being easy-going, and walked away in anger, leaving only one sentence: "I, this mortal thing, will not be dirty." The eyes of a noble man."

Seeing that Daiyu was angry, Baoyu reacted and called:

"Sister Lin? Don't be annoyed, that's not what I mean..." Baochai stopped him when he wanted to chase her:

"Okay, you can keep your voice down. The guests came to the door today and you yelled like this. Wouldn't it make people think too much after hearing it? That's the temperament of Xiaoer, and my son will be fine after a while."

Baoyu patted the head:

"It's still Sister Bao who is thoughtful. It would be bad if we are misunderstood by my cousin Nian and my cousin that we don't respect you. This place is not far from my Qimingxuan, why don't you go and have a seat with your younger sisters?"

"That's good, it's just that the people called Shang Qin'er and Xiuyan are lively."

In Qimingxuan, sisters Sanchun and Baochai, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen and Li Qi gathered together.

The center of the topic was naturally the brothers and sisters of the Nian family who entered the mansion today. Everyone was very curious and asked about Baochai.Only then did Tanchun let out a long breath.

"We only found out that there is such an aunt, cousin, and cousin in the past few days. Seeing it today, we have really improved our knowledge! The appearance, demeanor, and ostentation are indeed worthy of being born in the royal family." Miss Qianjin!"

"Ah, more stylish than the girls in the mansion?" Xing Xiuyan, who came from a poor background, couldn't imagine what kind of pomp and ostentation it was. Madam Xing, their aunt who is not close to her family, is so grown up that she has never been a girl in her own hands. In her eyes, the girls in Jia's mansion are the most dignified.

"That's natural. Uncle Nian's family is a second-class man of Manchu nationality, and younger sister Nian is a dignified Manchu noblewoman. Naturally, they are somewhat different from us." Baochai said.

"That's not right! Look at the big red pomegranate fairy dress on her. It is said that only one piece will cost nearly a hundred taels. I can't even see the head and face jewelry that goes with it. The color and craftsmanship are not ordinary. There are also beautiful clothes around her. As for the waiters, it is said that the four girls of the bell generation are all first-class girls, and the other six of the Xi generation are all second-class, and there are two nuns invited from the palace beside her! It’s almost like a commoner girl than us!” Tanchun sighed.

The three sisters and even Cousin Lin only have one second-class girl, and the remaining three or four can barely be regarded as third-class, and each of them has only one nanny. It doesn't matter if they don't go out and walk around with the other girls. Most of them are attached to them, and the conditions are naturally not comparable to those in Fuli, which actually makes their vision smaller.

Now it was only after meeting the serious lady of the government that she discovered the gap between her family and others. This made the sisters who had never seen this scene dare not say much, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would be laughed at and lose face for the family.

The few girls who had never seen Nian Jinyao enter the mansion were so surprised that they covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, Yingchun just smiled and watched Tanchun's explanation, but Xichun was cold:

"Third sister has only seen those foreign things, why can't she see the excellent character of Nian's sister? I think her good looks and demeanor overwhelm all the clothes and jewelry."

"Yes, as long as you are noble, let's be ordinary people!" But this appearance is natural, and the ordinary things around her are given by parents. It's a pity that she is not the first daughter of the wife, otherwise life must be different from now.

As the master, Nian Jinyao doesn't need to tidy up by herself. Even the four maids and the four nuns don't have to do chores by themselves. There has always been a division of labor in her yard, and each is in charge of fixed errands , Just do your own errands well every day.

Two wet nurses, Mother He in charge of needlework and embroidery, with Xijing and Ximan, in charge of Jinyao's clothes, shoes, socks, purse, fan pendant.

Fang's mother is in charge of Jinyao's outside business, and shopkeepers in various shops will find Fang's mother to pass on the news.She brought Cui Ling with her.

Nanny Li is the foster mother. Both she and Nanny Sun were invited back from the retired nuns in the palace by Jia Wei when Jinyao was four years old. In addition to teaching Jinyao various rules, she was also responsible for teaching the rules in the courtyard. The little girls in the house are in charge of Jinyao's small warehouse, with silver bells.

Grandma Sun is also a nurturing nun, but she doesn't have a specific division of labor. Because of her relationship with Jinyao, she usually waits close to her, so she has more work to do.

Nanny Sun didn't treat Jinyao like a master and servant, and she didn't feel that being a high-class nanny who served the girl close to her was degrading. The two of them were like mother and daughter, more like nanny than He and Fang.

Because Grandma Sun is good at medicine, she is in charge of recuperating Jinyao's body, taking care of her diet and some trivial matters, and she carries golden bells and jade bells with her.

The four big girls perform their own duties, Jinling is in charge of Jinyao's head jewelry, Yinling is in charge of Jinyao's money, and usually manages accounts and rewards.

Feiling took care of Jinyao's studies full-time, and learned medical skills from Nanny Sun since she was a child, and now she can be regarded as a small success. She and Jinling are the best maidservants, and they are also Jinyao's guards.

Cui Ling was in charge of the second-class and third-class maids and women, and she regularly visited the shop instead of Jinyao every month, and she and Fang's mother were Jinyao's agents outside.

These four people are about the same age as Nian Jinyao, and they really grew up together since they were young, and they have an unusual relationship.

Now that they have changed to a new place, but because of the clear division of labor, the organization is also chaotic and orderly. In a few hours, Qilan Courtyard is not much different from Jinyao Huguang's courtyard.

Wang Xifeng was originally worried that the people brought by Jinyao would not be able to adapt to the environment, so she specially asked Ping'er to run around a few times, and she couldn't help clicking her tongue after hearing what the servants of Nian's family were doing.

He patted his chest in fear:

"It seems that the rules of the family are really not small this year. Fortunately, they have cleaned up a separate large yard for them, and everyone has lived in it. It will be arranged in the second girl's yard as planned before. Now we are embarrassed. Shame on me!"

"Yeah, who would have thought that the second master and the young girl would bring so many people with them when they go out this year. I heard that there are more than 30 people in the girl and mother-in-law, and there are more than 60 people in the nursing home! Tsk tsk, this The chewing expenses of more than [-] people are not a small amount every month, and the Nian family is really rich!"

"It doesn't matter how many people she brings, the brothers and sisters said that they are responsible for the expenses of their yard, and they start their own business, just like Aunt Xue's family, you don't know what's going on with our family, and you can't afford that big family."

It's not easy for Ping'er to comment on it as a servant.

"I don't know what kind of person my aunt is. You can see that Young Master Chronology and Young Miss Nian have excellent personalities. I heard that there is also a third master who is twinned with Miss Nian and looks very similar!"

Speaking of the heir, Wang Xifeng put away her smile:

"Hey, this aunt of the first line is really lucky. Although she is the second wife, she is also a beautiful second-rank lady. It is said that when she married into the Nian's family, she became a family. The eldest son who was born in the front was only two years old at the time. You have to be like your own, and you have given birth to two sons and a daughter, which can be said to be a complete life!"

"Grandma, don't worry, you and the second master are still young, brother will be there sooner or later."

"I hope to have it sooner, so that sister Qiao and I can have someone to rely on! Don't talk about me, everyone says I am a vinegar wife. In my opinion, this title should now be given to the second grandmother of that year! No matter what Said that I have a sister Qiao, and the second grandma didn't have a son and a half daughter, and she also prevented her from taking concubines. My cousin Nian is two years older than Lian Er, so it seems that my aunt should also be a concubine. Good sex." Even my daughter-in-law couldn't handle it.

No one said behind that, no matter what the Jia family said about them, the brothers and sisters of the Nian family were sitting together and chatting now.

"Second brother, have you cleaned up? I've finished cleaning up here. How about letting Mother Fang take Xi Ling and the others to help sister Ming Yu?"

"Ming Yu has made arrangements at my place, but the places where the big bosses live have not been cleaned up yet, and there is no need to call the little girl, just let a few rough envoys over to help." polite.

Nian Jinyao nodded, she didn't need to order, Cui Ling, who was waiting on the side, turned around to make arrangements.

"This courtyard is well arranged. Although it is old, its location and size are convenient for us to use. My sister will make it easy. After a while, the house is tidied up, and we can go back at any time."

"Is the location of this yard good? I haven't been out of the house yet, second brother tell me."

"This is a courtyard with two entrances. There is no special scenery. The advantage is that it is facing the street. There is a corner door in the southeast corner. It is usually locked. Now we live in it, but we can reopen it. From there, we can go out. There are enough people on the left and right. It can be guarded. Besides, my sister and I have connected yards, so we don’t have to turn half a circle around the mansion when we come here, and bump into the girls in the mansion, do you think it’s okay?”

"That's really good. It seems that uncle really cares about us."

"Indeed, it's not far from where uncle lives. We'll go to deliver the soil instrument later."

"Hey, no matter what, it's someone else's house, so it's not as convenient as our own. I really don't understand why my mother insists that we stay in Jia's house for a while." Nian Jinyao rested her chin in distress.

Nian Gengyao fondled her braids:

"Have you ever heard of someone whose parents and elders are not here, and they are safe to let young children live alone in the mansion? How can relatives come to entertain them?"

The fact is that my mother was worried that my younger sister was raised too innocently, and didn't know the dangers of the inner house, so I sent her to this mansion to hone her skills. Naturally, he would not tell her this.

Nian Jinyao was amused by her brother's words, and pointed at him:

"You're not ashamed, you're still young? Are you?"

"What's the matter with me, isn't your sister-in-law not here? If I don't have a daughter-in-law, I'm just a handsome young man!"

"Okay, good boy, won't you tell me about your plans for the next few days?" Nian Jinyao hurriedly asked after finally laughing.

"Sister has grown up, and she knows how to care about socializing. You should know that we have an aunt in Beijing."

Nian Jinyao nodded without emotion:

"I know, the surname seems to be Yan, right?"

"That's right, she married Zhongyonghou's third son, and she has a son who is half a year younger than me."

"Didn't she not walk around with the family for several years?"

"Silly girl, it's her business that she doesn't walk around with the family, but we came to the capital as juniors, and it's our fault if we don't come to visit." How can we say that the married family is not nameless, and the common people all pay attention to the marriage. Save face.

"Oh, when shall we go then?"

"I submitted a post today, and I will visit tomorrow. It will only take half a day."

"Isn't that in front of Fucha's house? Fucha's house is sister-in-law's natal family!" Nian Jinyao has always been close to her second sister-in-law, so she naturally thinks that her natal family should be visited before marrying out and leaving her aunt's house.

Nian Gengyao smiled at his younger sister's pettiness:

"The closer you are, the less you will care about this. Don't worry."

"I don't know when I can see my mother, third brother, and second sister-in-law. I miss them all." After 16 years of birth, this is the first time Jinyao has been away from home for such a long time.

"Hurry up, after I participate in the Spring Festival in the new year, my mother and your sister-in-law should come over. As for your third brother, you also know him. He can't leave his bookstore the most. It may be difficult for him to move. .”

Thinking of the nerdy third brother, Nian Jinyao wanted to laugh but felt a little sad. She is not a little girl who doesn't know what to do, how can she not understand that it will not be easy to see her parents and brothers in the future.

Alas, it's all Mr. Kangxi's fault. You said that Nian's family is so far away, but you still stare at her father. What are you staring at her for?

Originally, her mother gave her a good friend, but the emperor only casually said a word in the letter sent out, and she had to wait until she was ready to go to Beijing to participate in the draft. What a life~

Seeing his sister unhappy, Nian Gengyao felt distressed, and was about to say something to coax her when Jin Ling came in:

"Second master, young lady, the three girls from Jia's family, Miss Lin, two Miss Xue, Miss Xing and two Miss Li are here to visit, but Second Master Bao is also here."

"Oh? Invite the girls to the flower hall to entertain guests, serve some good tea, and serve some of the snacks we brought.

Feiling and Yinling help me freshen up, how can I be so casual when I see guests? "As for that Baoyu, don't worry about her. Her second brother is here.

Nian Gengyao looked sad just now, but now his sister, who looks like a general about to go to the battlefield, couldn't help shaking his head dotingly.

"Come on, please come and sit with me in the study in front of the second master Bao. The second uncle has always liked scholars the most. I think my cousin's knowledge is also very good. We can discuss it."
