The Rebirth of Madam Wang

After the new year, Daiyu has already passed the filial piety. When making spring clothes, Wang Zixuan intentionally made a few more brightly colored ones for her. Seeing that February [-]th was her birthday again, Wang Zixuan and her husband The ancestors discussed, "Seeing that it's my niece's birthday again, how do you think the ancestors will spend this year?"

Only then did Jia's mother recall, "It is reasonable to have a good time, but Yu'er likes to be quiet. Putting on a show and eating wine is not fun."

Wang Zixuan suddenly remembered that in the previous life, everyone gathered for Sister Feng's birthday, and it was very lively, so she said with a smile: "In my opinion, it's better to follow the example of that small family. Everyone joins in for Miss Lin's birthday, wouldn't it be lively and innovative?" ?”

Jia Mu was very happy when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "That's a good idea. I'll pay 20 taels." She thought for a while and said, "Don't invite theatrical troupe. The children don't like to watch it either. It's better to just put it on a table." Xi, don’t want those big fish and big meat to be greasy and crooked, let the kitchen pick up some dishes that you like, and make them more delicate. Let’s give gifts to each other, that’s all.”

Wang Zixuan nodded and said with a smile: "We are not better than our ancestors, let's pay 16 taels." She looked at Mrs. Xing beside her.

Mrs. Xing always held the money in her hand tightly, and Lin Daiyu had no interest in her, she was not even willing to pay ten taels, but seeing that Mrs. Wang paid generously, she had to follow suit: "Okay, then 16 taels stop."

It happened that Aunt Xue and Baochai's mother and daughter were also there, because she thought that she would become in-laws with Jia's mansion in the future, and her relationship with Jia's mother must be good, so she often brought Baochai to the old ancestor's place. Since she wanted to celebrate Daiyu's birthday, she knew that her ancestors loved Daiyu's granddaughter very much, so she also laughed and said, "I'll pay 20 taels with the old lady."

Baochai said: "Sister Lin and I are like sisters on weekdays. Let me pay twelve taels too. Although it's not much, it's just a matter of heart."

Jia Mu nodded with a smile and said, "It's hard for you to be so sensible."

When Baoyu came back from school in the evening, he heard that everyone was going to celebrate Lin Daiyu's birthday, so he hurriedly brought out eight taels.

Since he paid out the silver, Jia Huan and Jia Lan also took eight taels of silver one after another, and Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun each took six taels of silver.

When Jia Mu saw it, she said with a smile: "It's good or bad, you are old enough, it's time to contribute."

Sister Feng and Youshi each contributed ten taels, and maids such as Ping'er, Yuanyang, Zijuan, Xiren, and Xiaohong also contributed silver each. There were two taels and one hanging. A decent banquet is more than enough.

The servants all paid out the money, so Auntie naturally couldn't afford it. Aunt Zhou went back to the house to get the money. Aunt Zhao said when she saw her: "Miss Lin usually doesn't even look at us. She celebrates her birthday. Why should we have to pay for it?" Give money."

Aunt Zhou said: "We are all born as slaves. She is a decent daughter of an official family. What's so arrogant about it?"

Aunt Zhao snorted and said, "It's okay if she doesn't like us. She usually doesn't care about girls Tan and brother Huan, but she is very affectionate with Baoyu. One year old and two years old. , and I don’t know how to avoid it.”

Aunt Zhou raised the curtain and looked out of the house. Seeing no one, she lowered her voice and said, "You still can't see that the ancestors betrothed Miss Lin to Baoyu on purpose."

"I'm not blind, why can't I see it." Aunt Zhao curled her lips in Donglijian's direction and said, "That's her daughter-in-law, it's fine if she pays the money, and we have to be implicated."

"If you don't say a few words, will your wife want to confine you if she hears it?" Aunt Zhou scolded.

Only then did Aunt Zhao stop talking, and reluctantly took out two slings of money.

It's fine if the aunt doesn't want to pay the money here, and Mrs. Xing also called Yingchun to go back to the house to scold her.

"The old ancestor obviously wanted to tell Miss Lin to Baoyu. It is right for your second aunt to love your daughter-in-law, and it is also right for the third girl and Brother Huan to curry favor with your future sister-in-law. What are you doing to join in the fun?"

"We are sisters..." Yingchun couldn't help but said.

Mrs. Xing said: "If you treat her as a sister, she may not take you seriously. It's time for you to think about yourself. Don't look at us living in Rongxitang now, but can we inherit the furniture in the future? How much is still uncertain, and you don’t even think about where your dowry will come from in the future? Just spend a lot of money and become a fairy of spreading money. If you have this money, you might as well give it to me. I will save it for you. The dowry will be richer in the future. You can straighten your waist." Then she said to Yingchun Nanny: "From now on, I will take half of the girl's calendar silver, since there are rules for daily food and clothing, and I can't be wronged."

Yingchun has a resigned temperament, so she didn't say anything, watching the nanny hand over the silver for the calendar to Mrs. Xing.I only cried behind my back once, so I stopped mentioning it.

A few days later, Shi Xiangyun came over to play, and when he heard that he wanted to collect money for Daiyu's birthday, he hurriedly ordered Cuiyu to go back and get eight taels of silver. He said: "What are you busy with? It's not that we don't know the situation in your family. I'm afraid your uncle and aunt won't be happy with your spending so much, so let's follow the third sister and the others to pay six taels. Sister Lin doesn't care about it, so she can do two things." Just give her the needle and thread."

Seeing Baochai's thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness, Xiangyun's eyes turned red, but he didn't complain, but he regarded Baochai as his own sister in his heart, and was a little closer than before.

On the day of Daiyu's birthday, Daiyu changed into new clothes first, offered incense and candles to her deceased mother in the courtyard, and mourned for a while, then went to salute Jia's mother, and then went to meet the elders to salute everywhere, and Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and sent them to each other. After picking up the gadgets, Jia Zheng also sent a letter from Lin Ruhai's home yesterday. Daiyu couldn't help but miss her father and she burst into tears.

Talking and laughing until noon, people who came to pay their respects to the birthday came one after another, and each gave congratulatory gifts. Jiamu was a set of pearl hair and a peacock feather cloak.Wang Zixuan remembered that Daiyu could play the piano, so she gave a good Yaoqin, and Mrs. Xing gave a pair of ruby ​​earrings.

Baoyu first gave a set of "Three Hundred Poems", Baochai gave a Duan inkstone, Yingchun gave a delicate sachet, Tanchun gave a dress embroidered with magnolia flowers that she embroidered stitch by stitch, Xichun was a string of nanmu handbags. Sister Feng gave a beauty shrugging vase, Youshi gave a red gold ruby ​​butterfly hairpin, and the others also had their own gifts.

Daiyu thanked them one by one, and she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, and genuine joy appeared on her face.

In the evening, when everyone dispersed, Daiyu went back to the house and saw Baoyu coming again.

"What are you doing here again, why don't you go back to the house and have a good rest, and you have to go to school tomorrow." Daiyu said.

Baoyu took out a Xuan kiln porcelain box and a white jade box, and said, "I've been thinking hard for the past few days, but I really have nothing to give, so I'll just give you this powder and rouge paste."

Daiyu opened the two boxes, and suddenly a faint fragrance filled the person. She twisted a little in the palm of her hand and asked, "Isn't this lead powder?"

Baoyu laughed and said, "This is the seed of Mirabilis, which is made by crushing it and mixing it with spices."

Daiyu opened the jade box of the rouge again, and saw that the ointment was poured out, so she asked, "What kind of rare rouge is this?"

Baoyu said: "The rouge sold in that market is not clean, and the color is also thin. This is the best rouge squeezed out of the juice, cleaned of dross, and steamed with floral dew. Just pick a little bit with a thin hairpin. , put it in the palm of your hand, dissolve it with a little water and put it on your lips; the palm of your hand is enough to slap your cheeks."

Daiyu liked it in her heart, but said on the face: "It's hard for you to get these rouge and gouache again, just don't let uncle and aunt know about you."

Baoyu said: "It's only once or twice a year. My wife will know about it and won't say it."

After chatting for a while, Baoyu left.

Looking at the dazzling array of gifts, Daiyu couldn't help letting go of her self-pity, and she smiled more and more every day, and everyone in the family was happy to see her.

This day, everyone was gathering in Jiamu's room to talk, when they heard a report from their family: "Grandma Zhu has brought her eldest sister to Ningrong Street."

The author has something to say: I'm sorry girls, it's too late.Although I didn't go out in the afternoon, the Internet at home was not stable, so I struggled for half a day before it was too late.A few other things to say 1. Regarding the issue of the imperial physician in Chapter 21, some sisters raised it inappropriately, and I also think it is wrong, but there is no way to change it in the list, so I have to leave it like this for now, and I will definitely change it after the list. 2. Because I am a novice and a newcomer, there are many deficiencies in this and that in the article. Thank you for your understanding. Seeing now, Taeko will work hard to write this article better and write better articles. 3. We agreed to arrange a few more double shifts.
