The Red House of the Concubine of the Jia Family

"The old lady also wanted to get close to the girl, and for a moment she forgot that there would be no room here, but the original old lady only wanted to settle there temporarily, and she had already ordered someone to clean up the yard. Don't worry, girl, the other side has been cleaned up. You can live there.” Jiamu’s complexion was not good, and Yuanyang hurried forward to save the place, and then whispered Lixiangyuan, which used to be the place where the old man cultivated. It was exquisite and nice, and it was cleaned every day. It's too much, it's enough for Daiyu's group, and there is a small door to go out, so it's a good place to house Daiyu.

Jia's mother is old and smart, so she immediately understood the meaning of the mandarin duck, and hurriedly asked Daiyu and her party to take her to resettle them on the grounds of being tired.

When they arrived at Lixiangyuan, Nanny Lin took everyone to tidy up, waited for Daiyu to go to bed, and arranged for the girls and women to watch the night. Then she went back to her room and took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to write a letter to Lin Ruhai.

I have to say that the Jia family gave her a really bad impression today, but she didn't add any details, but just recounted to Lin Ruhai what she saw and heard today and what the Jia family did in the letter. What will you do when you get the letter?

After writing the letter, Mother Lin began to think about what to do next.The whole Jia family obviously doesn't care about their girl, they can't just do it like this and let the girl be wronged, they have to find a way.

Early the next morning, Daiyu was woken up from the bed by Nanny Lin.Now in Jia's mansion, Daiyu has to go to greet Jia's mother in the morning.

Greetings in the morning, neither salty nor bland, everyone talked briefly, and then dispersed after breakfast at Jiamu's place. Maybe it was yesterday's incident that made Jiamu feel ashamed and dignified. Although Jiamu treated Daiyu today It was still affectionate, but after all, it faded a bit.

Mother Lin watched, secretly anxious and annoyed.Looking at Chun Xia Qiu Dong and Liu Mama, she was also very worried about her daughter, she was afraid that she would suffer a disadvantage in Beijing alone, thinking of the journey to Yangzhou, the young master of the Lu family took good care of her, Xia Yu said, "Girl, when I was at home before, The master has been talking about the Lu family a lot. This time, we depend on the young master of the Lu family to take care of us. Now the girl is also settled in the Jia family. After all, the aunt of the Lu family is an elder. Should the girl choose a day to visit the Lu family? ?" When necessary, Aunt Lu can also support the girl.

"Xia Yu said that the eldest cousin of the Lu family took care of the girl much more meticulously than the second master Lian. He thought about the girl in everything along the way. Besides, the girl is a junior, so it is right to go to see her. Why don't we see her now?" Let me post a post to see when Mrs. Lu is free?"

"Okay" Mother Lin and the others are all for her own good, and Daiyu naturally has nothing to say, "And the second sister-in-law Lian and the eldest aunt, please pack up the boxes and see if there are any good things we brought over. Add some more to the previous gift..." Although Lin Daiyu is young, she is smart and sensitive, and after yesterday and this morning, she can still tell which members of the Jia family are sincere and who are fake.

In the afternoon, on behalf of Daiyu, Chunxiaqiudong sent gifts to Jia's family, most of which were small items brought from Jiangnan, which were not worth much, just for fun.Nanny Lin's ability to be a human being didn't even fall behind Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan, Aunt Zhou, etc., but won the praise of everyone in Jia's family.

"Grandma, Miss Lin's gift?" Wang Xifeng's gift here was received by Ping'er, and Ping'er also specially inquired about the gifts from other places, and it was obvious that their place was [-]% more.

"Take it away, and be more polite to people in Lixiangyuan from now on." The Lin family is not vegetarian, although Miss Lin is young, she has a delicate heart, and the old lady's calculations are likely to fail.

On the other side of the eldest wife’s courtyard, I heard that Daiyu from her own house sent more gifts than Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Xing was very happy. "The nieces of the Jia family are all related to our first wife." Cen'er is also more enthusiastic towards herself than Mrs. Wang.

"That's right, the two girls are much closer to you than to the second wife, and they are also kind and kind to the girls..." It was rare for the eldest wife to be in a good mood, and Wang Baoshan's family hurriedly agreed.

This wave of Daiyu giving and returning gifts caused quite a stir in Jia's family. Of course, with this wave of contacts, Daiyu and Jia's family became acquainted with each other.Afterwards, because Daiyu was still in Xiaozhong, she didn't move around except when necessary.

Only the Lu family received a letter of greeting from Daiyu asked Nanny Liu to send it in person, and replied to the post, and then two days later, on a sunny day, Jia Xuan deliberately waited at home, and Daiyu brought Nanny Lin door to door.

"It can be regarded as coming, come quickly, let your aunt have a look, I have been listening to your father's letters to your uncle to show off how smart and cute his Yu'er is, and later when your cousin came back, he was full of praise for you, saying that you are little I have read a lot of books, have profound knowledge, and have a clear mind at an early age, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and I am looking forward to it..."

As soon as Daiyu entered the yard, Jia Xuan came up to welcome her, and took her to look carefully at her.

As expected of the Fairy Crimson Pearl, although she was dressed in plain clothes because of her mother's death, and she was still young, she could already see the beauty of the country and the city in the future, and Daiyu's beauty was different from hers. , Daiyu's two curved eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy, with two dimples of worry, a delicate disease, a little bit of tears, a little panting, like a delicate flower shining in water when it is quiet , the action is like a weak willow supporting the wind, the heart is more open than the dry, and the disease is like Xizi wins three points...'

Jia Xuan's thoughts suddenly spread a little bit, and she was stunned looking at Lin Daiyu, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time

Lu Cen'er next to her didn't look like that, so she hurriedly pulled Jia Xuan's sleeve and said, "Mother, even if my cousin looks good, you don't have to just stare blankly like this?"

"Hey, didn't you just look stunned? This is the first time my mother has seen such a beautiful little fairy." When she came back to her senses, Jia Xuan patted her forehead annoyed, "Daiyu didn't get caught. Is aunt scared? Come on, let's come in quickly, aunt heard from your eldest cousin that you love fried lotus root, aunt has someone prepare it early in the morning, and you have to try it later."

"Mother also asked people to go to Juxianlou to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cakes early in the morning. My cousin will try it later."

"Thank you, Auntie..." Daiyu didn't get the attention and love she wanted at her mother's house, but at the Lu's house, where her mother had always said all kinds of bad things, Daiyu felt the real love. At this moment, Daiyu suddenly had deep doubts about the way her mother (Jia Min) saw people. Maybe her mother didn't really see people's hearts clearly most of the time.

At noon, Jia Xuan left a meal, the four members of Lu's family (Lu Yanshang was not at home) and Daiyu were five people, and there was no screen to divide the table, everyone ate together.

The meals are not as extravagant as Jia’s, they are all home-cooked dishes prepared by Jia Xuan himself: sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, fried salt and pepper mushrooms, spinach vegetarian meatballs, mapo tofu, fried shepherd’s purse with red dates and white fungus soup, wild vegetables and eggs Soup

Originally, Jia Xuan thought that Daiyu's diet was light and would prefer vegetarian food, but she didn't expect that Daiyu also ate a lot of sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed fish, and her appetite seemed not much smaller than that of Cen'er.

"That's right, eat more, move more, and your body will naturally heal. Don't be bored in the house every day, that kind of good person will be bored too. Look at your cousin, eat and move around every day, not to mention how strong your body is. "After the meal, Lu Qi'an and his brothers were going to study in the front yard, and Jia Xuan left Daiyu and Cen'er cousins ​​to talk with them.

"What my aunt said is very true. I used to walk around the house a lot before, and the food was delicious at that time. It's just that I've been upset for a while and disrupted my work and rest..."

"It's better to be disciplined." As she said, Jia Xuan looked at Nanny Lin next to her, "The girl is still young, and if something is delayed, you should persuade her more. The body is important, the girl’s body, she is too young to understand it now, so she won’t regret it in the future?” In ancient times, the premature mortality rate was high, and women were born with one more life-and-death test than men – childbirth, if you don’t take care of your body , If something goes wrong in the future, it will be too late to fix it.

"Yes, I will always pay attention to you from now on, I will take care of you on behalf of my girl, thank you..." Thinking of the loss of my daughter's mother, this is the first time that an elder cares about the girl's body except for the master. .

"You don't want to be like this, it will definitely get better and better in the future..."

Because Jia Xuan had to deal with family affairs in the afternoon, Liu Daiyu and the others talked for a while, then sent the two sisters out to play by themselves.

"Cousin, let's go play on the swing. I asked my father to make it for me in the garden. It's very fun."

Daiyu played until the evening, and didn't leave until it was too late.

Originally, Jia Xuan wanted to keep Daiyu at home for a few days, but Daiyu declined.Daiyu has only lived in Jia's mansion for a few days, and now she lives in Lu's mansion. It's not good to hear it, and she still wears filial piety after all, even if her aunts and cousins ​​in Lu's mansion don't care, she still wants to Pay attention to some.

After seeing off Daiyu and his party, Lu Yan just returned home.

"Did you see Daiyu today? How is it? The little girl has not suffered any grievances, has she?"

Before Daiyu entered Beijing, Lin Ruhai sent a letter, asking Lu Yan and his wife to take care of Daiyu, and Lu Yan naturally took it to heart.Since Daiyu is a little girl, it's not easy for him to intervene, so I can only leave it to Jia Xuan.

"It seems to be pretty good now." After all, there are so many people around, and the tempers of Nanny Lin and others don't seem to be the soft temper of Nanny Daiyu in the book.

"Don't worry, I will let people stare at me more. I also told Madam Lin that since they live in Lixiangyuan, there is a small door to enter and exit from Lixiangyuan. It's better for them to build a small kitchen by themselves. You can eat and drink as you like, just go to please the old lady every day and be filial."
