Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

The story is divided into two parts, one is to say that after Zijuan sent Daiyu home with great fanfare that day, the three masters and servants in the bisha cupboard stayed at home, counting the days with their fingers, waiting for Lin Ruhai's reply.

The servants of Jia's mansion saw that Lin's mansion was so rare and generous this time, they sent Lin Daiyu a lot of gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival, and they thought of going to Miss Lin to have fun and ask for some rewards.

However, they saw their masters and servants thanking guests behind closed doors all day long, and rumors spread again for a while.It is said that Daiyu is stingy and greedy for fame, and deliberately let Zijuan go out to show off, but she is reluctant to part with money.Everyone has served her for so many days, but they can't get any benefit.

The gossip reached Xueyan's ears, and she was so angry that she complained to Daiyu with red eyes.

But Daiyu didn't care, she nodded her forehead and joked: "Why bother to get angry with those people, you will lose your identity."

Seeing the smile on her lips, Xueyan didn't seem to be faking at all, and looked at Zijuan, she never thought when the girl could see it so openly?

Daiyu thought to herself, she couldn't see it at first, because she was young, and because she was thinking about Baoyu, she always felt that her aunt didn't like her, and her servants arranged for her to be very sad.

Now, Rongguo Mansion is her hometown and old residence. There are people she cherishes and is willing to wait for, but nothing else.When it comes to family, Lin Daiyu's home is where Lin Ruhai is.

"After all, we are living here as strangers. Besides, didn't someone come say that my father and nurse, Nanny Li, will come to Beijing soon?" Daiyu glanced at Xueyan meaningfully.

Xueyan was overjoyed when she thought of this incident.Yes, yes, Nanny Li has always had face, and she will not leave the master's side easily.Now that Baba came to the capital, he must have come to take the girl home.Recalling the old days of "showing off" at home, I don't take the bitterness and satire of snow geese to heart anymore.

The eyes of Zicuckoo next to him darkened, but they did not escape Daiyu's eyes.

Long before asking Zijuan to deliver the letter, Daiyu asked Zijuan if she would follow her for a long time?If she wants to go home, is Zijuan willing to go with her?She also stated that she knew that Zijuan was the son of the Rongguo family, and that her family members were all in the capital. If she didn't want to, she would go and report to Jia Mu herself, and she would never make things difficult for her.

However, Zijuan firmly stated that since the day the old lady sent her to serve Daiyu, she was born and died as a member of the Lin family——

Daiyu covered her mouth, not allowing her to say unkind words, and the sisters hugged each other with tears in their eyes.

However, Zijuan is worried about leaving her parents and family and growing up, and Daiyu knows it well.

"Zicuckoo, I know how you treat me, and you understand what I think. I treat you like a sister. As long as you don't dislike me, at least no one can change your status as a maid. And we will come back , the house of the Marquis of Lin will not be idle forever." Daiyu said, looking directly at Zijuan.

Rhododendron powder surface is reddish.How could she not trust Daiyu?Others don't understand Daiyu, but she does know that - a girl's nature is that if you give her three favors, she will accept you very much.

The three masters and servants were talking. Someone from Jiamu's side please tell me that Li's mother and others have arrived.Daiyu and others hurried to Jiamu's room.

By then, the room was full of people.Jiamu, Baoyu, the two wives of King Xing, Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, Li Wan, Sister Feng and Sanchun sisters, crowded together and sat together.On the contrary, it was Daiyu who was finally believed.

"In order to welcome my father and nurse, I have to work hard for the elders, how can Daiyu afford it." Daiyu saluted everyone.

Everyone responded with a smile and made fun of her.

Mother Jia even embraced her, scratched her nose and smiled, "Madam Li is your father's wet nurse. How can she be an ordinary servant? Speaking of which, she is my equal!"

"Don't dare to respond to the duke's wife's praise! This old slave is only fortunate to serve the master for a while, but he has to be taken care of by the master for the rest of his life. I am so grateful, how can I deserve the honor of the old lady?" A quiet voice came. Come.

Everyone turned their heads one after another, only to see a middle-aged woman with a round face, willow-leaf eyebrows, a calm face and an elegant demeanor, wearing plain clothes, no makeup, and a silver hairpin. .

"The old servant of the Lin family, Mrs. Li, please greet Mrs. Guo, all the wives, grandmas, and girls." The visitor bowed and saluted, with proper etiquette, neither humble nor overbearing.

It turned out that this middle-aged woman with extraordinary bearing was Lin Ruhai's wet nurse, Mother Li.

Jia Mu didn't expect a wet nurse to have such a bearing. She was taken aback for a while before asking Yuanyang to give her a seat.

Daiyu naturally recognized Li's mother, jumped out of Jia's mother's arms, ran to her in small steps, and shouted happily: "Nurse, you are finally here, Yu'er misses you so much!"

Mother Li saw Daiyu's cowardly and timid appearance, and recalled what she had inquired about these past few days, not to mention her distress. She didn't care about the difference between master and servant, took Daiyu's hands, and looked back and forth from head to toe.

"Madam, you—" After three words of suffering, Mother Li endured and endured before she said it.

The two of them held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes and whispered earnestly. On the other side, Zhou Rui's family standing behind Mrs. Wang was frightened.Isn't this person in front of her the woman in charge of the Lin family who was talking nonsense to her while drinking tea and wine in the restaurant two days ago?

"The lady in charge of the Lin family, the woman in charge of the Lin family..." Zhou Rui's family murmured several times in their hearts, and then they realized that something was wrong, and they followed the old woman's advice.

But for the words spoken and the water poured out, Zhou Rui's family closed their eyes and silently prayed for God's blessing in their hearts.

On the other side, Mother Li was still standing bowed, instead of sitting down, holding Daiyu's wrist with both hands.Seeing that her wrist still had the pair of white jade bracelets that Lin Ruhai ordered someone to buy for her when she came to Beijing, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Our master misses the girl so much, and has not seen the girl's letter for a long time, the boy who came to give the gift He also said he didn't see the girl."

Mother Li paused for a while when she said this, and then said: "The master thought that he was an official outside, and he hadn't visited the old lady for many years, and when he brought many rare things by water, he specially asked the old slave to bring them. The right should be given to the old lady." If the wife enjoys it more, it is also a filial piety to the master."

As he spoke, he waved to let the stout servants who came with him bring in several large boxes of gifts.

Mama Li distributed them herself, and the agate bracelets and white jade Ruyi were naturally given to Madam Jia.Mrs. Xing's eyes were hot, and when she received a small pure gold Buddha, she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.Seeing that her gift was the same as Mrs. Xing's, Mrs. Wang was a little unhappy in her heart.

Among them, it is particularly worth mentioning that there were five or six complete sets of head masks, which were distributed to Li Wan, Sister Feng and Sanchun sisters according to their identities and temperaments.

Li Wan has been a widow for many years and has never received a gift. Now that he has received such a great gift, he can hardly bear it.

Sister Feng has a high vision, but she is very happy to get the real money, and she thanked her uncle repeatedly as if she had touched honey.

The Sanchun sisters were even more flattered, how much is their monthly salary?A full set of meeting guests—Yingchun and Tanchun looked at each other, and they both saluted and thanked Li's mother.

Only Xichun, at a young age, is not tempted by dazzling jewelry, and is calm and composed.

But Baochai is the only one missing.

Baoyu has always been quick to speak, and hurriedly said, "Did Mammy miss Sister Bao?"

Mother Li seemed to have just noticed Aunt Xue and Baochai's mother and daughter, and hurriedly patted her head, "Look at me, I have never seen such a girl who looks like a fairy!"Although it is worse than that of the Sanchun sisters, it is quite good.

Baochai still refused, and Jia Mu said, "it's your sister Lin's family's wish, so you can keep it." Baochai accepted it as she said.

As if he had done something great, Baoyu asked again: "Mama has gifts for everyone. I wonder if there is sister Lin?" In fact, Baoyu has not received the gift at this moment, but he doesn't remember himself at all.

Mother Li smiled and said, "How can we miss our girl? It's your share of Second Master Bao. The old slave thought you were in the outer courtyard, so I put it together with Second Master Lian's share. Don't you, Second Master Bao Strange."

Mother Li's words had other meanings. The implication was that Baoyu was getting older and should no longer mess around in the inner courtyard.

"What's the point? But what kind of gift is Sister Lin's? Nanny, let us have a look!" Baoyu asked without realizing it.

Mother Li looked down at Daiyu's wrist and said, "The girl is so filial. I think the master bought this pair of jade bracelets when you went to Beijing, right! I remember the girl's birthday in spring this year, and the master specially ordered someone to use a good red jade to make it I bought a pair of jade bracelets and sent them to the capital as a birthday gift for the girl, why don't you see the girl wearing them?"

Daiyu shook her head when she heard this, "What kind of red jade bracelet, I have never seen it before."

"This is strange. At that time, the old slave put the pair of jade bracelets into the box with his own hands, wrapped them up and handed them over to the young servant. The young servant who went to Beijing to give the gift was also a child of his family. He personally reported that the birthday gift was delivered to the mansion, and the mansion The reply will definitely not be fake." Li's mother pretended to be puzzled.

Mother Jia glanced at Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang without any trace.

Mrs. Wang couldn't be shaken by thunder, and her face didn't change.Sister Feng secretly lowered her head.

Mrs. Xing snorted coldly, causing Jia's mother to look sideways, and hurriedly silenced.

Everyone present also understood that Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng must have swallowed the gift from the Lin family privately without telling Daiyu at all.

Only Baoyu was still in a daze. Seeing that Mother Li had talked for a long time without mentioning what gift she had given Daiyu, she also got out of Jiamu's arms, leaned next to Daiyu, raised her head and asked, "What exactly did Nanny bring for Sister Lin?" nice one?"

Mother Li didn't expect that the brother who was born with jade was an idiot, so she had to reply: "It was a set of clothes that matched the pair of red jade bracelets, but now it is missing one, so it is not beautiful after all. Wait for the old slave to report back." Master, find another better set for the girl."

In this way, this matter is also considered exposed.

Mama Li took the initiative to compliment Jia Mu for her well-maintained body, describing her body as youthful.

"I'm just sorry for my master. The Yanzheng government is busy with official duties, painstakingly and laboriously. My wife left early, and there is no caring person to take care of and miss the girl. Now, now—" Li's mother said with a sad look on her face .

"But father is not in good health?" Daiyu asked urgently.Just now she quietly asked Li's mother, how is father's health?Mother Li also said that there was no serious problem, why did she say that now.

But Daiyu is chaotic if she cares.

Jia's mother was also concerned and asked: "Ru Hai has always been prudent, why doesn't he know how to take care of his body? But did he hire a famous doctor? What kind of medicine did he use? Did he hurt his vitality or—"

Mother Li sighed and said, "Naturally, I invited a famous doctor, and I always took the medicine, but it didn't improve. The master is getting thinner, and he coughs and wheezes non-stop. Recently, his sputum is full of blood."

"Ah!" Daiyu exclaimed, standing unsteadily, took a step back, and was being held in Zicuckoo's arms.

"Is the girl okay?" Li's mother looked at Daiyu's pale face. She didn't know she was frightened by her. So weak? What have you eaten all these years to recuperate?"

But Xueyan couldn't answer, and just stammered: "The girl is not in good health, and there is no special medicine to take. But just take some ginseng Yangrong pills when you are at home."

Mother Li frowned when she heard the words, "It's useless for the girl to take the ginseng Yangrong pill for many years and it doesn't improve. Why don't you change it?" Pulling Xueyan to teach in a low voice: "You are the master and wife The one chosen to serve the girl, how can he serve the master so unsatisfactorily?"

Jia Mu sat high in the main seat, without saying a word, but her eyes became sharper and sharper.Although Mama Li's words were teaching Xueyan a lesson, they were all stabbed on Rongguo Mansion's eminent face.

It's the second daughter-in-law who has shallow eyelids and covets such little things, and now let her lose such a big person!Mother Jia was angry, if it wasn't because she was old and no one could use her, she really wanted to—

Jia Mu was upright, and suddenly there was a cup of hot tea in front of her.

It turned out that Sister Feng held it with her own hands.Sister Feng was the most obedient, knowing these things that Mama Li complained about, it was impossible for her to be in charge of the house without knowing, and she couldn't get rid of any of it, so she hurriedly brought Jia Mu a cup of hot tea, and Baba served Jia Mu to drink it.

In the room full of laughter and laughter, only the sound of Jiamu's tea lid touching the tea bowl and Li's mother's words of admonishing Xueyan were left.

After a long time, Mama Li seemed to realize that the atmosphere was different, and abruptly changed the subject: "On the way here, I heard that there is a Miss Lin in the mansion with the name "Frowning". What a coincidence, She has the same surname as our girl, so she must be this fairy-like girl, right?

Mother Li said, her eyes fell on Baochai.
