The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

When Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan entered, Xue Baochai had already heard the movement and sat up on the soft pillow. Seeing them coming in, Xue Baochai's face was full of joy, "Sister Lin and Qiaoer are here, sit down quickly!"

Lin Daiyu saw that Xue Baochai still had a few books beside her pillow, and said with a smile, "Sister Bao is not taking care of herself, what are you doing with these books?"

Xue Baochai just smiled, but didn't speak. Lin Daiyu knew that it must have something to do with Baoyu, so she didn't continue to ask.

Jia Wan looked at Xue Baochai's complexion, her complexion was ruddy. It seemed that this reassurance pill was really useful. After taking it, Xue Baochai's illness was mostly cured. I just waited for Mrs. Wang to enter the palace tomorrow. If there is good news, then The other half should be cured as well.

Xue Baochai saw that Jia Wan was only looking at herself but didn't speak, so she smiled and said, "I heard that my mother has an order to let Qiao'er enter the palace tomorrow to pay her respects, but is it true? Is it my aunt or nephew, but I haven't seen you for a few days , Is that what you're thinking about?"

Jia Wan smiled, dear aunt and nephew, just kidding, Yingchun and her are serious aunts and nephews! "Aunt Xue, you smell so good, what kind of fragrance do you smell?"

Yinger came in with tea, and said with a smile, "How can there be any fragrance? Our girls are the most impatient with incense!"

Jia Wan smiled, knowing that this was probably the scent of the Lengxiang Wan, the smell was a bit weird, although it was very fragrant, it was a bit cold.

Xue Baochai smiled and said, "It's just the smell of Lengxiang pills. After all, it's a man-made smell. It's not worth anything. Speaking of this, I would like to ask, Qiaoer, what's the matter with the faint fragrance on your body? Last year When we went to admire the plum blossoms in winter, I sat next to you, and I smelled it at that moment. It seemed to be nothing. At first I thought it was the fragrance of plum blossoms, but when I smelled it carefully, it was not the fragrance of plum blossoms. At that time, I wanted to ask you Come on, there were so many people at that time, so I forgot. Tell me honestly, what happened?"

Jia Wan deliberately sniffed, "Where is it? Why didn't I smell it? Is it the fruity scent on my body? Aunt Xue knows it. I always like the natural scent of these melons and fruits."

Xue Baochai smiled slightly, knowing that Jia Wan didn't want to mention it, "Maybe!" She turned to look at Jia Wan carefully. Although she is young, she has a delicate and refined appearance. She will be a beauty when she opens her eyes. I heard that she has an excellent memory and is intelligent. Extraordinary, the husband who taught her once lamented why she was not a man.The family carefully cultivated her, and eagerly invited two nuns from the Queen Mother's Palace to teach her etiquette and rules, and specially invited the dancer Le Niang to teach her talent.Although this is a secret in the Jia family, but what is Xue Baochai, the second grandmother who is sure, how can such a thing be hidden from her.

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Wan, with envy flashing in her eyes. If possible, she also hoped to be nurtured by her family, and then become a person like Jia Yuanchun, who is superior and can easily control the fate of others.It's a pity that when my father was there, the Xue family was already on the decline. Today, among the four major families, the Wang family has Prince Teng, the emperor's confidant, and the Jia family has a noble concubine. The name of an imperial merchant.

However, it doesn't matter, as long as she marries into the Jia family, the Xue family will still have a chance.If she gave birth to a daughter, maybe what Qiaoer can enjoy, her child can too!Wang Xifeng is worse than herself, how can her daughter be worse than Qiao'er!

Seeing Xue Baochai's strange eyes, Jia Wan hid behind Lin Daiyu. Seeing this, Lin Daiyu said, "Sister Bao is feeling better? If you dare to see Auntie, Auntie will send some crabs. If Sister Bao is not well , but there is no such good fortune."

Xue Baochai came to his senses, and said with a smile: "However, brother Bao said yesterday that it is a good time to eat crabs, and it just so happened that Zhuangzi sent them here. Unfortunately, the second sister is now embroidering the dowry, and the third sister I am copying Buddhist scriptures for my aunt again, and sister Yun doesn’t come here often, otherwise, there are so many of us, it would be a good idea to hold a crab feast. By the water, you can eat crabs and watch the scenery, the best of both worlds!"

Lin Daiyu was fine, after all, she didn't remember much of the original dream, only the key parts, so she just smiled in agreement when Xue Baochai said that, but as a latecomer, Jia Wan is famous for the crab feast in Dream of the Red Chamber !Originally, Shi Xiangyun wanted to invite everyone in Jia's mansion back in a moment of enthusiasm, but he had no money and no one. In the end, it was Xue Baochai who drew his sword to help. It's a pity, but it was Xue Baochai who made the crab feast come true.

It's just that in this life, Shi Xiangyun annoyed Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang without knowing it. He didn't go in and out of Jia's house as often as in his previous life, so Xue Baochai didn't have the opportunity to show it.

"Sister Lin and Qiao'er are here too!" Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan looked back, but it was Li Wan who walked in with a smile on his lips.

Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan quickly stood up, "Hello, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Lin Daiyu asked with a smile.

"I brought people to watch the night. I passed Hengwuyuan and came in to have a look. Is sister Xue better?" Li Wan said with a smile. Recently, her life is very comfortable, and Sanchun no longer interferes with the housekeeper's affairs. She was in full charge. Although Mrs. Wang was the one who made the final decision, there were quite a few people who followed her to cater to her, and even Jia Lan was given more attention.Only then did Li Wan realize that the butler felt so good!Mrs. Wang was still in good spirits when she entered the door, so she couldn't get involved in the housekeeper's affairs if she wanted to. Later, Jia Zhu died early, and her status as a widow was not suitable for a housekeeper.He could only watch Mrs. Wang lift Wang Xifeng up, look at Wang Xifeng's vigor and majesty, and Li Wan felt both envious and jealous.Now, it's finally my turn.

However, even though he is his own housekeeper right now, such a good life probably won't last long.When Xue Baochai enters the door, it is estimated that the housekeeper's rights should be handed over to her!Although Li Wan was unwilling, he still had self-knowledge. Right now, Mrs. Wang had no one available for him to be the housekeeper.Besides, since I took over as the housekeeper, even though I have been more careful, whenever there is money to be used, I will ask Mrs. Wang for instructions, but I still took a lot of money.It can be seen that although the position of steward is majestic, the price behind it is still very high.It's still Wang Xifeng who is smart, repents and escapes in time!It's not like me, I can't bear the glory of the housekeeper, but I can't bear the money in my hand, it's a dilemma!

"Don't delay too long, the doors should be locked after Haishi." Li Wan smiled and reminded, "I still have something to do, so let's go first!"

"Sister-in-law, let's go with you!" Lin Daiyu stood up and said, "Sister Bao, let's see you again tomorrow!"

Xue Baochai nodded, "Be careful on the road, Ying'er, you see off the sister-in-law and the others."

Li Wan said with a smile: "No need, I still have to go around to patrol, you can just send Sister Lin and the others off. Be careful on the way!"

On the way back, two women were holding lanterns in front, and Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan were strolling, "Did you notice? My sister-in-law has spoken more confidently recently."

Jia Wan said with a smile, "Aunt Lin, you know what to ask. Grandma is now in charge of the house, so of course she has confidence in her words and actions."

Lin Daiyu looked at the lonely Grand View Garden under the moonlight, and sneered, "I'm afraid that the gods will not be able to manage this family!" Lin Daiyu has been watching with cold eyes these years. Regardless of whether a Grand View Garden has spent the property of the Lin family, even the family property of the Jia family It also took more than half.Concubine Yuan's visiting relatives was so lively and exciting at the time, but now, there are only a few serious masters living in the huge Grand View Garden, and more places are just empty.The Jia family doesn't want to make progress, they only think about opportunistic, if this continues, even if the Jia family has another imperial concubine, so what, they will eventually come to an end.

"Aunt Lin, calm down, calm down!" Seeing that the anger on Lin Daiyu's face became more and more obvious, Jia Wan tugged at the corner of her clothes and said timidly.

With the breeze blowing in front of her face, Lin Daiyu calmed down. Thinking of the excitement just now, Lin Daiyu felt like she had a demonic disease. Thinking about it again, she just felt a little worthless.Yes, not worth it.But looking down at Jia Wan, under the moonlight, that little face became more and more charming. Lin Daiyu sighed, feeling worthless for the Lin family, herself, and Qiaoer.

"Forget it, let's go back!" Lin Daiyu didn't want her negative emotions to affect Jia Wan, especially when she was already burdened with so much at such a young age.

Jia Wan nodded, and walked back holding Lin Daiyu's hand. In fact, Jia Wan could guess a little bit of Lin Daiyu's psychology. With Lin Daiyu's intelligence, it is impossible not to know that the Lin family's property was swallowed up by the Jia family, and it is impossible not to Knowing where the money was spent, but she kept silent, it wasn't a Madonna attack, it was just that she was helpless.She is a weak girl in the boudoir, guarding such a large family property, and it will be a matter of time before she is swallowed up by others. Lin Ruhai must have thought of this at that time and entrusted all the family property to Jia's care. He always thought that the Jia family is Lin Daiyu's natal family, so it's impossible not to let Lin Daiyu stay at all!As long as there is a little, it is enough for Lin Daiyu's life.How did Lin Ruhai know that people's hearts were so dangerous that the Jia family not only swallowed all the Lin family's property, but also forced Lin Daiyu to death.

Jia Wan sighed softly, and looked up at Lin Daiyu's side face. Fortunately, sister Lin will not be so tragic in this life. When Aunt Lin leaves the cabinet, if possible, she should give her some more make-up. !The elders come out of the court, and the younger generation gives gifts, does this belong to adding makeup, it seems that it does not belong!What did Mammy say?Jia Wan was confused.

On the second day, when Jia Wan was picked up from the bed again, she was already familiar with it. She closed her eyes and went to sleep, tossing and tossing with the Jade Little Reds. When it came, Jia Wan was finally willing to open her eyes, "Wow! There are so many delicious foods!"

Xiao Hong chuckled, "Girl, you can only look at those, you can't eat them. These are your breakfast. Didn't you say that last time? Before entering the palace, you don't drink water or eat thin things." Xiao Hong As she spoke, she pointed to a few plates next to her. Jia Wan saw that they were all dry pastries. She wanted to eat some watery ones!

"Sister Xiaohong, bring me a bowl of red bean porridge, or half a bowl is fine! Why don't you bring me a glass of water! This time I'm not going to the Queen Mother's house, even if there is any impoliteness in my aunt's palace, I should It's okay! Sister Xiaohong, if I don't drink water in the morning, I will die of thirst!" Jia Wan said pitifully, tugging on Xiaohong's sleeve.

Fei Cui said with a smile: "The girl is talking nonsense again, I'm worried that the nanny will tell you if she hears it." Then she smiled and said to Xiaohong, "My good sister, let the girl drink some water, or a bowl of milk is fine." It's not that you don't know the girl's habits. Besides, I'm going to Fengzao Palace today, so I should be fine."

Xiaohong thought for a while, "How about this, let me bring you a bowl of mushroom and spinach porridge, and another glass of water, there really can't be any more. If Mammy knows, she will be scolded."

Although it is a little less, it is better than nothing!Thinking of this, Jia Wan felt much better. "By the way, you'll have someone deliver the recipe for hair care to Mrs. Xue's family later. I promised her yesterday. If the Xue's family sends you crabs, don't move. I'll do it when I come back."

Xiao Hong and Fei Cui looked at each other and smiled, "Understood, don't worry, girl!"

Jia Wan entered the palace for the second time. In fact, there was not much change for her from the first time. She just silently hoped that she would not see some strange people again.But thinking that Jia Yuanchun summoned him this time, it shouldn't be possible!

After entering the gate of Fengzao Palace, Baoqin had been waiting at the gate early in the morning, and when she saw them, her face was full of smiles, "Yiren is here, please come in quickly! Your Majesty is waiting! Miss Qiao has grown taller again. "

Baoqin warmly welcomed the two of them in, Jia Yuanchun really sat there and waited early, and when he saw them, he had a smile on his face.It's just that when his eyes fell on Jia Wan, there was something more in his smile.Her lower abdomen was already slightly protruding. Madam Wang looked at it, just like seeing Jin Yuanbao, with a bright and enthusiastic smile.

After saluting, Jia Yuanchun quickly asked them to sit down, "How is Yiren? Where's the old lady? Where's Baoyu? How are the sisters?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Yuanchun's stomach with a smile, and said, "Everything is fine, everything is fine, my lady doesn't have to worry about it." After a short pause, Mrs. Wang asked anxiously, "How is your ladyship?"

Jia Yuanchun rubbed his lower abdomen, lowered his head and smiled and said, "I am very good, pleasant and rest assured." He raised his head, his eyes fell on Jia Wan, and just about to say something, a court lady hurried in outside the door, hugging her. Qin whispered a few words in his ear.Baoqin's eyes were a bit complicated, he glanced at Jia Wan, and said with a smile: "My lady, the empress dowager learned that Miss Qiao entered the palace to pay her respects to her, and ordered Miss Xiuxia to come and invite her to Ningshou Palace."

Jia Yuanchun was a little surprised, "Aunt Xiuxia is here? Please come in." Jia Yuanchun felt that he had vaguely guessed the plan of the Queen Mother and Queen, and he had mixed feelings about Jia Wan. He envied her luck and envied her luck at the same time. .She easily got the opportunity she once wanted.However, she is her own niece and also belongs to Jia's family, which makes her unable to really hold grudges against her.But now, seeing Xiu Xia, one of the Queen Mother's four confidantes, come to invite someone in person, Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She took a deep look at Jia Wan, thinking that maybe it was because of her poor eyesight, she couldn't see her. What is so special about this niece.

Xiu Xia, who was dressed as a female official, came in. Jia Yuanchun looked at this familiar attire and felt a little depressed. Yes, he had worn this dress for many years, but now that he thought about it, there was such a trace of nostalgia for those years.

"Why is Aunt Xiuxia here in person?" Jia Yuanchun cheered up and said with a smile.

"The Empress Dowager likes Miss Wan very much. When she heard that the Empress Dowager Xiande summoned Miss Wan, she ordered her servants to come and invite Miss Wan to Ningshou Palace. Is it convenient?" Xiu Xia smiled respectfully and reservedly.

"Look at what Aunt Xiuxia said, it's not inconvenient! Qiaoer." Jia Yuanchun said with a smile, and then beckoned Qiaoer to come to him, holding Jia Wan's hands, the soft and delicate tentacles made Jia Yuanchun Yuan Chun lost his mind for a moment. Even with the best maintenance, his career as a female official for more than ten years still left some marks on him. The most important thing is to copy documents and files. Over time, my hands will inevitably have some calluses. After I became a concubine, I took good care of it. Unfortunately, I can never go back.

But now Jia Wan's hands don't even have calluses, they don't even have fine lines, they seem to be boneless, even as a woman, she wants to play with them.Jia Yuanchun quickly shook his head, trying to get such absurd thoughts out of his mind.Looking up and seeing Jia Wan looking at him curiously, Jia Yuanchun smiled, "Go with Aunt Xiuxia, remember to listen to Aunt Xiuxia, don't run around!"

Jia Wan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Madam, I know."

Seeing Jia Wan, Xiu Xia smiled sincerely, "Miss Wan, please come with your servant!"

Jia Yuanchun watched Xiuxia and Jia Wan leave, and suddenly asked, "Yiren, I heard that Qiaoer is very serious about her homework, and she has to practice calligraphy for an hour every day, is it true?"

Mrs. Wang didn't understand why Jia Yuanchun asked this question, she was taken aback for a while, and then said, "I guess so!" She is not Qiao'er's real mother, and it's too late for her to stare at Baoyu, so how can she have time to care about Qiao'er? Daily homework!

"I heard that Qiao'er practiced the pipa for an hour every day, danced for an hour, took culture classes, and sometimes cooked on a whim to make some snacks, so how does she take care of her hands? "Jia Yuanchun said quietly.

Mrs. Wang was stunned, looked at Baoqin, hoping that the other party could tell her what Jia Yuanchun really wanted to express, but seeing that the other party also looked confused, Mrs. Wang was stupid, so she decided to ask honestly.After all, the other party is his daughter, so it's not ashamed to expose his ignorance.

"My lady, what do you mean?"

Jia Yuanchun looked at Mrs. Wang and sighed, "Yiren, nothing else matters. The hands I touched Qiaoer just now are smooth and soft, without even fine lines. But look at Bengong's hands, even now No matter how much you take care of it, you won't be able to go back to the way it was before." Jia Yuanchun stretched out his hand to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang looked at the marks on Jia Yuanchun's right fingers, especially the middle finger and index finger, and burst into tears, "Your Majesty is suffering!" It is conceivable that although the female officer is served by a maid, it is not as comfortable as when she was a young lady.

"Yiren, what I mean by this palace is that Qiaoer's homework is not light now, but her hands are still so smooth. Is there any special method for this?" Jia Yuanchun, Mrs. Wang, didn't understand what he meant, Sighing, he asked directly.

"A solution?" Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, "I heard that she gave Aunt Xue some hair care recipes this morning, but she is such a small person, what can she know, it must have been given by the nurse next to her. Yes. Do you mean to ask Qiaoer?"

Jia Yuanchun sighed, talking to Yiren is tiring, if it was another ancestor, he must have already understood what he meant, why would he need to waste so much tongue!

Over there, Jia Wan followed Xiu Xia to the Ningshou Palace. Along the way, Xiu Xia kept looking at Jia Wan carefully. The last time Miss Wan entered the palace, she happened to be taking a break and hadn't seen her before. Having mentioned it many times, most of which were complimenting words, Xiu Xia wondered if Miss Wan is really like this?She wants to see it.Therefore, I took the initiative to come over today.

As expected, Miss Wan did not disappoint her, not to mention her appearance, Zhang Kai must be a beautiful woman who will overwhelm the country and city in the future.But throughout the ages, there have been many beauties in the harem, but few have a good death.But this Miss Wan is not only beautiful, but today, she also has an additional advantage, that is, she knows how to measure and accepts etiquette.They went all the way from Fengzao Palace to Ningshou Palace. They passed many places and met many people on the way. I don't know how many eyes fell on her along the way, but Miss Wan kept her eyes on her nose and her heart on her nose. attitude, without squinting.Just this calmness made Xiu Xiagao take a look at her.

Of course, these are not the criteria for success. Whether or not Miss Wan will be successful in the future depends on her luck!It's just that from the current point of view, her fortune seems to be pretty good?

When they arrived at Ningshou Palace, Xiu Xia took Jia Wan in.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the familiar voice of the empress, "You are here, sit down quickly, here, this is a new snack made in the small kitchen, come and try it!"

Jia Wan was a little flattered, the side effects of Yuyanhua didn't include heartthrob, right?The empress is too polite!

Seeing her like this, the queen laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up, "Queen mother, look at her, she's so fun! Am I that scary?" she asked while looking at a woman next to her.

The young woman sitting under the queen apologized with a smile: "The stepmother is gentle and cheerful, how can it be scary! Ms. Wan probably didn't expect the queen mother to be so easy-going!"

The queen mother smiled and patted the queen, "In front of your daughter-in-law, please calm down!" Then she smiled and said to Jia Wan, "Qiaoer, come, this is the princess of Anping County."

Princess Anping County?Who?Regardless of who it was, Jia Wan hurriedly saluted the young princess of Anping County and said, "My daughter greets the princess, and the princess is well."

The author has something to say: I don’t know what’s going on, but the surveillance video of my daughter’s kindergarten suddenly disappeared.In addition, the teacher said that when children learn to write, they must not start practicing from copybooks. If this is the case, the habit of writing will be bad, woo woo woo, I was wrong!
