[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

After finishing the poem, he ordered people to pass it on and read it, ordered a play, and finally had some food.

Even so, people dare not open their mouths to eat and drink. They only pick up small snacks and use a few pieces, and they have to keep rinsing their mouths to avoid embarrassing sudden questions and answers.

After the play and banquet, I went back to Xingyuan and ordered the eunuch to pass down the rewards.

All the sisters each have a new book, one inkstone, and two pairs of gold and silver nudes.Among those who received the reward was Jia Baoyu.

"He didn't follow the man to receive the reward, but followed us."

Before Lin Yun had time to mutter, he was pressed down by the sisters together.

Everyone took their things and went to Yuanchun to thank him, but saw a big eunuch coming.

"I want to report to your empress, it's been three quarters since Chouzheng, please drive back to Luan."

Yuan Chun burst into tears, holding Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang in his arms, unable to speak for a long time.

During the New Year's Eve, Lin Yun and Lin Daiyu felt that they didn't have enough time to go home for two days, let alone these three or four hours?In the inner garden of the palace, you can enjoy the wealth and honor that ordinary people can't enjoy, and you can also endure the loneliness that ordinary people can't bear.

The palace concubine urged, despite Yuan Chun's reluctance to give up, he still boarded the sedan chair and kicked him out.Haohao when you come, Tangtang when you go.

Jiamu and Mrs. Wang cried so hard that they were persuaded by everyone in turn.After sending the palace servants away, they packed up the things used by the empresses and girls and wives in the garden, and after making sure that nothing was missing, they went back to take a bath and change their clothes.

Finally packed up, the sky has become slightly white.

The hectic two nights and one day are over, and it is difficult to regain energy without sleeping all day long.

Only Wang Xifeng spent two or three days closing the garden behind closed doors for cleaning up the leftover lanterns and red paper, recycling all kinds of decorations, etc., suffering from many illnesses.

But she is a strong one, and she asked the doctor to take medicine twice in private, but she insisted on not giving up.

In the Jiangyun Pavilion, Lin Yun and Lin Daiyu rested their energy and sorted out the poems they wrote in the garden. Feeling the pain of parting from each other in Yuanchun, they also wrote many sad sentences.

It took five days to organize the poems into a book and sent it to Lin Ruhai. He was in tears and wrote back a song "Returning Home".He even vowed to himself that he must speed up the process and bring his daughter home as soon as possible.

Lin Yun couldn't laugh or cry when she received the reply, and sent someone to Lin Daiyu's room, so that she could solve the problems she caused herself.

On the second day, I sent back another song "Thinking of Farewell".

Suffering from their father and daughter's toothache, Lin Yun went to Wang Xifeng's hospital to visit.Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he bumped into a bunch of mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law.Only after they had left did they speak to Wang Xifeng.

"If you're sick, why don't you take care of me honestly? There are so many people in the family who are missing you? I heard that you can take care of those trivial things, so why bother?"

Wang Xifeng poured her tea and leaned against the pillow with the hand stove in his arms.

"It's only when you say this out of your mouth that I know it's good intentions. Can others believe it? It's easy to say, why don't you help me manage?"

The eldest sister staggered in with the help of the nanny, and bumped her head into Lin Yun's arms.

"I don't do things that offend others. You can keep it for yourself if you like. If you have this skill, you might as well tease the eldest sister."

After speaking, Lin Yun took out dried cheese from his purse, and called the elder sister to be aunt.

Wang Xifeng looked at them with rare peace.

"It's not that I don't want to raise it. How do you know how busy it is? Before attacking people, I went to my house and caught a cold when I came back. Baoyu couldn't let go. The garden has just been sealed, and Curry is still taking inventory. Ping'er can't be wrong. .Aside from the daily life in our house, there are also those actors and nuns, how can I not care about everything?"

Listening to her counting like chanting sutras, Lin Yun thought of someone.

"The fourth girl came to play yesterday and said that she saw a nun named Miaoyu, she was very noble, Baoyu didn't even give her face, can she go?"

Wang Xifeng is drinking tea.

"No, my wife invited her here as a serious guest. How can she leave? She is still living in the mansion, and she refuses to be with those little nuns. She lives alone in the guest house, bringing the maids and mothers with her. The girls are pretty big."

While speaking, he suddenly put down the teacup and leaned over to mutter.

"I heard that she used to be a lady of the family, and she went to practice with her hair when she was down and out, but she put up the airs of an expert in our house and ignored me."

Lin Yun pinched the eldest sister's little hand and taught her to peel peanuts, and responded casually.

"Then I'll stay away, let's laymen, don't tarnish your dignity."

"By the way, there is one more thing. My father said that the new mansion will be repaired in February or March at the latest, and he will pick us up at that time. I just hope he won't lie to anyone this time."

Wang Xifeng couldn't understand.

"Didn't I say you, is there anything wrong with staying in the Duke's Mansion? Why do you have to go back? The old ladies and girls here are joking with you, isn't it better than you at home?"

Is there any good background that can compare to the Duke's Mansion?But if you say a word, a young lady who grew up in the Duke's mansion is how many times more noble than other people's families.

It's no wonder that Wang Xifeng couldn't understand, the gap is really huge.

Lin Yun thought for a moment and asked.

"Otherwise, I'll find a temple to become a monk, and see which noble family is willing to worship me as a guest. Isn't it more honorable than the young lady of the Duke's Mansion?"

Such teasing made Wang Xifeng spit on her.

"Our fourth girl has been talking about becoming a monk all day long, and now you are talking about it, it's really nonsense. Be careful if someone overhears you, tell your ancestors to know."

Lin Yunhun didn't care.

"If we four girls are really monks, I'm afraid we won't be as lucky as Miaoyu, and there are still people serving in the temple."

After a while of gossip, Ping'er came back.

"Second Mistress, Miss Lin is here too. The old lady was just gossiping and asked Miss Bao to celebrate her birthday."

Wang Xifeng stretched out her finger to calculate.

"Sister Xue is 15 years old this year, so it's time to do a good job. What rules does the old lady have?"

Ping'er shook his head.

"I heard the words over there and hurried over to tell grandma, but I didn't hear clearly. Grandma should hurry over, Aunt Xue is also here."

Whenever such things happen, Ping'er is always reliable.Wang Xifeng got up quickly, changed clothes, and hurried to Rongqing Hall.

Lin Yun didn't want to join in the fun, so he returned to the Falling Cloud Pavilion.But when I went back, I found out that Lin Daiyu was also called.

When I came back at night, I talked about collecting three taels of silver.

"Grandmother said she would pay 20 taels of silver, and Lian's second sister-in-law made a joke, and our sisters also joined in. But I roughly calculated that these few taels of silver are really nothing."

Lin Daiyu counted with her fingers while talking.

It costs 40 taels at least to eat wine and watch the theater, which is not considered good wine and food, let alone a reward for servants.

Sisters, it’s two taels a month, and it’s really not worth it if you sell a bunch of them and I’ll take half a hang.Really tight.

"On my sister's birthday, the box of things that my father sent was worth a hundred taels, not to mention the change we rewarded. My father didn't come to Beijing on my birthday the previous year, and he spent hundreds of taels."

It doesn't matter how it counts, so don't count it.

Lin Yun enjoyed watching it.

"Grandmother's birthday party is just a decent one, so you're worried. Second sister-in-law is not feeling well, why don't you help manage the accounts?"

Lin Daiyu snorted.

"Unfortunately, I saw that you were not here and helped out a few taels, but you came to laugh at me and pay me back the money! Even the principal with interest, ten taels."

As he talked, he began to calculate the accounts again. Last time, he paid half a dime for her, and the last time he paid another one or two. I don't know what year's old accounts have been dug out.

Lin Yun was dumbfounded when he heard it.

"I didn't know you had the potential to be a miser, and you are really suitable for a housekeeper. I'll give you 50 taels back! The piano I gave you last month cost 60 taels, remember to ask me for ten taels."

Lin Daiyu recalled vaguely that she couldn't go out last month, so she found a lot of things, and she did have a piano.

Immediately became angry from embarrassment.

"Hey, you want ten taels of silver from me too!"

Lin Yun looked innocent.

"It was you who asked me for money first. As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly, and we are sisters, so we can't..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu was driven away in anger, and Lin Yun won the victory.

At dinner, Yinger came over.

"This is given to the two girls by my girl. It's not worth anything. It's just for fun or to reward people."

The small box contained strings of beads, rings, pendants, etc. It was in good condition, roughly estimated to be about six taels.

Lin Yun just laughed.

"It's hard for you girls to figure it out clearly. It's a trivial matter for sisters to play tricks. Thank you girls for me."

As he spoke, he took out a pendant from the box and rewarded her.

Yinger thanked her and left.

Lin Daiyu looked at the box, picked up the ring and played with it.

"It's just so boring that she just came here just to join in."

Lin Yun wanted to hit her with a box.

"You have a father on top of you. Naturally, you don't like this kind of sneaking, but don't forget that she is supporting herself. Not to mention that the girls hide their money and don't make a show. Can people know ?”

"You are getting more and more comfortable!"

He poked her face with a finger, taking the opportunity to avenge himself publicly.

Knowing that it didn't make any sense, Lin Daiyu ate with her head down, without saying a word.

Within two days, everyone was chatting and joking in Rongqing Hall, and Shi Xiangyun was picked up.

"There are so many of you playing together, but no one cares about me. I'm here today to do the math with you!"

Mother Jia smiled.

"This girl is used to making trouble. A few days ago, there was an important event in the house that was inconvenient. If this is not an important event, I will pick you up immediately? Go play with your sisters, and Baoyu will come over in a while."

Being comforted by Jia's mother, Shi Xiangyun immediately came over to act like a baby.

"I knew that my ancestors missed me the most, no more than these unconscionable people. They talked when I came, and ignored me."

This charming appearance made Jia's mother happy.

After a while, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai came running holding hands.

Shi Xiangyun came alive.

"Brother love, haven't you missed me for a long time? Good sister, I miss you so much."

As he spoke, he went over and put his arms around Xue Baochai's neck.

Xue Baochai nodded her helplessly.

"You, no matter how old you are, you still look like a child. It's a coincidence that you will catch up with the excitement in a few days."

I only found out about Xue Baochai's birthday while talking and chatting, and I was busy shouting to join in the party.There was one more woman in the room, but it was as if there were ten or eight more quarreling.

When Jia Mu is old, she likes to be lively and happy to watch.

"It's just for the excitement of your sisters. What does Bao girl like to eat? Tell Feng girl to make arrangements."

Xue Baochai paused and replied.

"I like some sweet ones, I'm afraid my sisters will find them disgusting."

Shi Xiangyun rushed to speak.

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it, my ancestors like it too, it's just right. But it's decided where to play around? If the arrangement is not good, I won't follow it."

After talking and laughing for a while, Shi Xiangyun suddenly felt something was wrong while drinking tea.

She came for half a day, but Lin Daiyu didn't come to talk to her.Looking again, Jia Baoyu's eyeballs had already been glued to Lin Daiyu's body, no wonder he didn't speak just now.

Feeling angry, Shi Xiangyun said intentionally.

"Brother Ai, what gift have you prepared for Sister Bao?"?
