As the twelfth lunar month entered, Wang Zixuan got busy. Seeing Wang Xifeng, she came over to help, but was stopped by Wang Zixuan, "I'm getting heavier day by day. I don't know how to take care of it. What are you running around for?" Go back to the house and stay, the ancestor said yesterday that you don’t have to go to pay your respects on weekdays.”

"Well, if sister-in-law is here, I don't care, so I don't care, now you are pointing up and down, and sister-in-law Zhen is willing to help you over there, but they have to worship ancestors over there, which is more hectic than ours. The eldest wife can't help you." Wang Xifeng said.

Wang Zixuan looked at the annual gift list sent by Jiangnan Zhen's family and said, "What's the matter? When you and your sister-in-law didn't come in, I was busy alone. It's just that I've grown old and my brain is slow , Things often go wrong, but fortunately, our housekeepers and grandmas, although they are usually a bit arrogant, are still very useful when it comes to this critical time."

The daughters-in-law in charge standing below had different expressions, and Aquarius smiled and said: "Madam, are you praising them or talking about them? Why can't the slaves understand?"

Wang Zixuan glanced at the wives in charge, "It's up to them to figure it out on their own," and said to Lin Zhixiao's family, "How is the ceremony arranged in Yangzhou?"

Although Jia Min passed away, in the past few years, because of Daiyu's presence, the relationship between Jia's family and Lin's family has become closer and closer. Needless to say, they usually exchange letters, and they don't dare to neglect the etiquette of festivals and festivals. In this way, I also reciprocate courtesy, and the return gift is a bit more than before, and I also send some small gifts to Sister Daiyu from time to time.

Wang Zixuan did this, firstly, to save face, so that Jia Mu and Daiyu couldn't make mistakes, and secondly, she also had selfish motives. Jia Zhu's term of general judge will expire next year, so she would rather He stayed in the south of the Yangtze River, and Lin Ruhai was considered a respectable person in the south of the Yangtze River, and the salt transport envoy was very poor, and Jia Zhu would be indispensable to take care of him in the future.

Lin Zhixiao's family replied: "Follow the usual rules."

Wang Zixuan nodded, and said to Aquarius: "Miss Lin hasn't written a letter to her family for several days, go ask her if she has anything to say, and send it along with the New Year's gift after writing."

Wang Xifeng said: "My wife doesn't let me do anything here, I'm idle too, why don't you sit with Sister Lin and see what she does."

Wang Zixuan nodded and let her go.

After Laba, the family school will be on holiday. Baoyu and Jia Huan Jia Lan just walked around the street today, and saw small baskets woven from willow branches, incense boxes from whole bamboo roots, and a wind stove made of mud. He bought a few back for his sisters. He thought that Daiyu was alone in Jia's mansion, and seeing the bustling up and down of the house, he must have missed his father very much. Go to the yard where Lin Daiyu lives and let her pick first.

Daiyu saw the small basket made of willow branches, which was exquisite and unique, and she liked it very much, so she took it and let the azalea hang it up, thanked Baoyu, and couldn't help teasing Baoyu, "Why don't you go and let your treasure go first?" Sister picks."

Baoyu was used to being teased by her, so he just smiled and said, "Sister Bao has her brother, why should I worry about it?" Then he said: "Just now, Nanny Lai came to greet the ancestors and brought a little girl, who is very clever and cute. , with a sharp tongue and a good needlework, I think you only have two capable people here, Zijuan Xueyan, and you are missing a girl who can do needlework, why don't I beg her to come for you?"

Daiyu said: "The girls around me are all the same as the second sister and the third sister. How can I have an extra one? It won't make people gossip."

"You are different from Second Sister and the others. Among other things, you live in this big courtyard alone. Naturally, there are more people in need." As usual, Yingchun and Tanchun are all concubines, and the configuration around them is natural. Those who are inferior to Yuanchun, Daiyu, and Xichun are just that the ancestors love their granddaughters, regardless of their concubines, so it is not so clear.

Daiyu still hesitated, "I'm a guest anyway, I'll use what my grandmother gives me, and there's no reason to ask for it if I don't."

Baoyu said: "What's the matter? You haven't seen her. If you had seen her, you would have wanted her."

Just at this moment, Wang Xifeng came over and saw the two talking to each other sitting on the kang table. There were a few exquisite gadgets on the kang table. Give your sister, and don't give me one."

Baoyu laughed and said, "How did I know that Sister Feng likes this, if Sister Feng likes to choose by herself."

Wang Xifeng was not too polite, she really picked a small pen holder.

Daiyu said with a smile: "It's not good to choose what, why choose a pen holder, Sister Feng usually doesn't write."

Wang Xifeng pushed her with a smile and said, "Look at what you said, if I don't write, I can't leave it for my son."

The three chatted and laughed for a while, and then came to Jiamu's place. Baoyu first put all kinds of gadgets on the table for the sisters Yingchun to choose.

Just when Wang Zixuan came over after finishing her work, Mother Jia smiled at her and said, "Baoyu is old enough to know how to love my sisters."

Wang Zixuan glanced at those gadgets and said with a smile: "That's what it should be. He should buy them back to honor his sisters when he sees a good one." He sat down and said a few words about etiquette.

As soon as Daiyu entered the room, she noticed that standing behind Jiamu was a little maid wearing a water-red tunic and a rose-red armor, but she was about [-] years old, and she was very delicate.

When Baoyu saw that she was paying attention to the girl, he knew that she liked it. He went to Jiamu's side and said, "Old ancestor, you have sisters around you. If you have a good one, you should give us one."

Jia Mu smiled and nodded his forehead, "I know you've taken a fancy to Qingwen, so I'll send you off."

Wang Zixuan frowned and said: "Baoyu, you are a man, you will move to the outer courtyard in a few years, what do you need so many maids for?" She wanted to go to Baoyu's side wholeheartedly, but she said that she couldn't put her by Baoyu's side.

Baoyu laughed and said: "I didn't ask for it for me. I have two Xiren Musk Moons. It's just that Sister Lin looks strange and deserted. I just need someone who can talk."

When Wang Zixuan heard that Baoyu didn't want Qingwen herself, she was relieved first, but when she thought of Daiyu's temper, she was more concerned about not being provoked by Qingwen, so she said: "It's reasonable to pick a few girls. You shouldn't want to be with your ancestors."

Wang Xifeng knew that Wang Zixuan didn't like Qingwen's delicate and fancy dress, so she smiled and said, "I think Qingwen should stay with the ancestors and do needlework. Just pick a few and come up."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "That's right, Qingwen is too young, so choose an older one for Daiyu."

Wang Zixuan agreed, and went back to ask Lin Zhixiao's family. Lin Zhixiao's family happened to have a daughter named Hongyu. I'm 13 years old, but I don't have any reason to recommend my daughter, I'd better ask the matchmaker to see if there is any good one to buy."

"There are so many old people in the family who want to come in to serve, but they can't, and they spend that money to buy something, and besides, they don't avoid relatives, you call your red jade here tomorrow, let me have a look, If it's good, it's her." Lin Zhixiao and his wife are honest people, and her daughter must be honest too.

On the second day, Guo from Lin Zhixiao's family brought her daughter over. Wang Zixuan was busy sending people to Jiang's family to give New Year's gifts, and she couldn't take care of her for a while. Lin Hongyu was not in a hurry, and stood quietly beside her.

Wang Zixuan looked at her after finishing her work, saw that she was pretty, and asked her a few words, and saw that her words and deeds were clean and neat, although not as gentle and gentle as Xi Ren, but they were also very decent.

"From now on, you can just serve Miss Lin. You are two years older than Zijuan, so you should act more prudently." Wang Zixuan instructed.

"The servant knows, and will take good care of Miss Lin." Lin Hongyu replied with a smile.

Wang Zixuan nodded, "You can just change your name from now on, and call it Xiaohong."

Lin Hongyu knew that she was going to serve Lin Daiyu, so she had already thought of this and agreed.After returning home, I packed up my things and went to the yard where Daiyu lived.

Who knows that Daiyu is angry with Baoyu today, complaining to Zijuan with tears, "I said I don't need people, he is very busy, and now it seems that I am not sensible."

"Second Master Bao also has good intentions. I am afraid that you will be lonely here alone, so the girl should not take it to heart. The second wife is very generous, so she will definitely not take this matter to heart. Didn't she also say that she will choose for you?" Is the girl coming?" Zijuan persuaded.

Daiyu thought so, Baoyu was kind to her, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "He has good intentions, but he did something bad."

Just as she was talking, Xiaohong came, so Lin Daiyu stopped her tears and asked a few gossips without mentioning it.

Besides, Wang Zixuan was busy here until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, when he received a letter from Jia Zhu and his wife from Jinling. The letter said that Li Wan would bring her daughter back to Beijing in February. Zhong is Li Shouzhong's fiftieth birthday, and she wants to come back to pay respects to her father.

Wang Zixuan was overjoyed at the thought of seeing her little granddaughter whom she hadn't met yet.

Entering the first month with joy, while entertaining relatives in the clan who came to pay New Year's greetings, at the same time, she was busy going to various houses to drink spring wine. Because Sister Feng was pregnant and could not go out, she had to go to various houses with Mrs. Xing as a guest, and was busy with Ladies and gentlemen, you have to beware of Mrs. Xing saying the wrong thing inadvertently.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day again, and the house was decorated with lanterns, festoons and festivities, and there was a lot of excitement. Once the fifteenth day was over, the year was over, and Wang Zixuan was born peacefully.
