Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Daiyu felt that something was wrong.

She was curious about the rumors about the marriage of gold and jade, and felt that Baochai and Baoyu were not a good match, but why did she seem to be worried that she might misunderstand something when she heard Jiamu's tone?

Apparently, Mother Jia was not very happy to talk about this matter, and she soon talked about other things.Daiyu doesn't like to ask the truth, and she won't go against the old man's wishes and ask the old man to talk about things that she doesn't like to talk about, so she doesn't talk about gold and jade anymore.

Although Wang Xifeng had already asked many questions about Daiyu's situation at home when Wang Xifeng was there, but because there were so many people present, what he said was mostly gossip, and it was rare to go deep.Now there are only two grandparents and grandchildren, and there are fewer scruples when talking.

Mother Jia heard Daiyu's detailed description of the situation at home, and based on the behavior of the women who came with Daiyu, she deduced that although the serious masters of the Lin family had not returned to Lin's mansion for a long time, none of the servants in the mansion should have messed around. When she came back, she didn't bully the two young masters, on the contrary, she worked harder.

She couldn't help sighing: "I agreed to your parents' marriage that day. I didn't see the reason why your Lin family has good rules. Your mother didn't have to spend too much energy on the affairs of the inner courtyard when she married. I won't talk about other families. You usually just follow along as a guest, and you don’t see so many servants, but this is not that many times, so I will only tell you about our two mansions.” The genius remembered it in a second: (

"You have lived here for a while, and you should have seen some troublesome servants. Just because of them, which one is shameless? There are many old people in the family who come and go, but you young people My master might turn around and look at their faces. If anyone is not a bit tough, I'm afraid I don't know how they will bully them."

Daiyu knew that Mother Jia mainly talked about welcoming spring.Many of the masters in these two mansions, such as Rong Da's grandmother Qin in Ning Mansion, are usually the most gentle, but they also have some tricks, and they can always control the servants; He was recognized as the first virtuous person by the servants, but he didn't let the servants mess around with the rules.

Only Yingchun, who is now a little older, has not changed in temperament, she is so gentle that she is already cowardly, and the servants don't take her very seriously, and she only lets her nurse and others decide. Miss, it's better for the big girl beside me to have her own opinions.She is the eldest among the sisters, but in many matters, she is not as good as Tanchun.

Mother Jia asked again how many people were waiting in the house after Daiyu returned home, and when she heard that there were not many people, she was a little displeased and said:

"Young masters and young ladies like us, how can there be just such a few people? Although you have not lived at home for a long time, it is understandable that there are not many people watching the house at home, but now that you are home, you should buy more. Some little girls and the like go back. After all, there is no one in charge in your family, and your father is always a man, not so careful."

Daiyu hurriedly laughed and said, "It's not my father's fault, he also asked me if I want to add a few girls and women, but I thought, I don't need so many people, the current number is enough. Besides, after I go home, I still have a lot of things to take care of at home, once there are too many people, I'm afraid I can't even take care of my own house, so how can I deal with housework?"

When Jia Mu heard some truth, her face softened a little, but she was still a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Daiyu couldn't say anything more.She wanted to take this opportunity to tell Mother Jia that the Rong Mansion was already overcrowded, and there were a large group of people making noise, but not many of them were serious about doing things.

Just like in Baoyu's room, there are a large group of waitresses, and they are divided into each girl's hands. Everyone has very little work to do, and they just play with each other all day long.There are only so many rooms, and there are so many waitresses that even Baoyu, who likes young and beautiful girls the most, can't recognize them all.

After all, Jia Mu was getting old, and after talking a lot with Daiyu, the energy she had gained from a short rest earlier also dissipated, her eyes became heavy, and her speech slowed down.

But Daiyu was a little more worried because of the conversation just now, let alone sleepy.Mother Jia didn't force her to stay with her, so she asked her to go and play with her sisters. If she wanted to go home, she had to wait until she woke up.

Daiyu responded one by one.

But Yingchun and her sisters, after returning to their own room from Jia Mu's room, have seen the gifts from Daiyu and liked them very much.The sisters were also curious about whether other people received the same as their own, and they visited each other, and finally found out that everyone received different ones. They became more and more interested, and Qiqi took their share and went to the house together. There's trouble with Li Wan.

When Daiyu was preparing the presents, the mothers in the mansion made some suggestions. The preparations were very thoughtful. The girls and wives in the Rong Mansion all thought of it, and even the aunts had a share. Li Wan received only her own share. , and another one is for Jalan.

Li Wan didn't care much about his share, but Jia Lan's share was what he cared most about.She saw that there were several collections of annotated essays in it, and she was happy that it was just right for Jia Lan to study.

With these, she didn't care much about the things Daiyu gave her again, and even brought the Sanchun sisters to come to her to play around, and each of them didn't know how to control the puppets, and they loved to play, which made her feel better The puppet was in a mess, crumbling here and there, and she didn't care anymore, and had fun with it.

Just having fun, Daiyu came.

It just so happened that Xichun controlled the puppet to walk on the table, only caring about walking happily, and didn't even notice when it got to the edge of the table, and accidentally lost control, the puppet fell, and it was about to fall to the ground. Xichun hurriedly exclaimed, her eyes stared straight at the falling puppet, her hands moved quickly, and she was about to reach out to catch it.

She didn't catch the puppet, but grabbed the puppet, was startled for a moment, then looked up, only to see that it was Daiyu.

Xichun blushed and let go, and said timidly, "Sister Lin!"

Xueyan, who accompanied Daiyu, had already picked up the puppet and handed it to Daiyu first.

Xichun was young, and she only thought about puppets for fun, so she forgot about the faux pas just now, and begged Daiyu for it.

Daiyu hid behind her with the puppet, and hid aside with a smile.

Xichun chased her to grab the puppet.

Although Li Wan's house is larger, it is limited in size, and now there are many people and many puppets, so it is not easy to chase and play.Daiyu and Xichun played like this, their clothes fluttered, and they inevitably knocked down the puppet placed by Yingchun.

Yingchun was not angry, she just sat on the chair, leaning against the backrest, smiling and watching the two of them play.

Li Wan didn't listen to them, and by chance Xichun passed by her, so she hugged Xichun and forced Xichun to the chair she was sitting on just now.

When Daiyu saw it, she also stopped, turned around, and held up the puppet in the air, shaking it so hard that Xichun felt itchy and distressed, and couldn't move, so she clasped her hands together and bowed repeatedly: "My dear sister, hurry up!" give it to me!"

Li Wan also chimed in, and Daiyu couldn't make a fuss anymore, so she came forward to return the puppet to Xichun. She was so happy that Xichun called her good sister several times, and then checked the puppet again and again, for fear of the fall and chase just now. , what damage is done to the puppet.

Daiyu laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? I, Yang Chongyu, found this thing for me. After I got it, I checked it carefully first. The quality is not bad, and it won't be broken so easily. Yes. If it’s really bad, what’s the point? I’ll let Chongyu find it for you.”

Coincidentally, Baochai also came here to play with her sisters at this time, and heard Daiyu's last sentence.

She couldn't help thinking of her elder brother at home, and subconsciously stamped her feet.

Tanchun had already seen her, and hurriedly waved and smiled: "Sister Bao is here too? Our house is not so lively for some time!"

Baochai came over and said, "Who says it's not lively? In the past few days, there are many exchanges between relatives and friends. It's not our sisters who are lively."

With that said, everyone nodded in agreement.In the past few days, Ning Rong's Second Mansion hosted many people and went to many banquets, but they are all ladies in the boudoir, and they are still young, they were never allowed to meet guests, they were only allowed to play in their own rooms.

Baochai thanked Daiyu for the gift again, and the two of them did not say a word of politeness, and Tanchun came to make fun of it, so everyone was busy playing.

I don't know how long it took, but a girl came over and said that Mother Jia had woken up and was about to ask Miss Lin to come over.

After playing this game, Daiyu's hair was already a little messed up. When she was busy in Li Wan's room, she borrowed Li Wan's dowry and tidied it up. Then she followed the girl to see Jia Mu.

When she got it out, she didn't see Baochai. Just as she was wondering, Li Wan said, "Just now Aunt Xue also came to see Miss Bao, so Miss Bao went back first."

When Daiyu heard this, she didn't realize that she was a little concerned, and she was quite absent-minded as she walked all the way. After all, she met Jia Mu, and then she lifted her spirits, and reluctantly pushed the matter of Baochai to the back of her mind.

But Baochai, because the girl next to Aunt Xue came to look for her, and her face was very anxious, she couldn't help worrying, and she walked faster than before.

Back in Lixiangyuan, the girl led her to Xue Pan's room.

Through the door, Baochai heard Aunt Xue cry first: "I often tell you, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, why don't you listen! If you are half as sensible as your sister, I will You can feel at ease even if you die!"

Baochai hurriedly opened the door and came in to persuade, "Mom! Don't say that word during this New Year's festival!"

Aunt Xue also knew that her words were inappropriate. Seeing her daughter returning home, she couldn't help but sighed, "Why did I think so? Just look at your brother! It's been two days since I gave birth, and today I'm out fighting with others." You got up in a fight, and you got black and blue on your face for no reason, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and you still have such a thing."

Xue Pan grinned and said, "It's not a big problem."

Aunt Xue said angrily: "This has knocked you out. If you want someone to bring it back, why don't you say it's not a big problem?"

Xue Pan still defended himself: "It's just that they were careless and their hands missed the head. Mom, you don't know, some places are corrected, and nothing will happen to others. Just fall asleep for a while. I I was sent home just now, but I lay down for a while, my sister has not returned yet, I am already awake? Mom, don’t talk too much.”

When Baochai was talking to his mother and son, he had carefully examined the scars on Xue Pan's face.

Because Xue Pan was fully dressed, she could only see two black and blue scars on his forehead and cheekbones. She didn't know if there were other injuries on Xue Pan's body.

But seeing Xue Pan's face was acceptable, she guessed that Xue Pan's words were probably true, but she didn't know what happened to Xue Pan outside, and he was knocked out and sent back. To persuade Aunt Xue.
