[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

The master of the Jia family always had to go hungry twice when he was sick, not to mention that Guo Xiao was a vegetarian, so the doctor Wang prescribed some warming and tonic herbs, which were needed separately, but together they were extremely painful.

After more than half a month of recuperation, Jia Baoyu's face was as pale as a dish, not as good as before his illness. I just wished I could jump up from the bed and shout three times "I'm all right", but how could Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang get it.Jia Mu was tired from crying again, so she lay on the bed for a few days, ignoring everyone's greetings, and detained Baoyu and her in the house to recuperate.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family got together for a meal, but Lin Daiyu went back to her room after receiving the lucky money from Jiamu, and did not eat with Jia's family. Jiamu told Sister Feng, "Set a table for your sister." Send it to the house, don't neglect it."

Because it was Chinese New Year, those lonely people swallowed the words of keeping their filial piety.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's been prepared a long time ago, and the ones specially prepared are the bland ones that Sister Lin likes."

Only then did Jia's mother put it down.Lin Daiyu's place was not deserted either, she sat alone on the kang, and Yishuang sat down to accompany her to have the New Year's Eve dinner.The two mothers came to the seat naturally, but Mother Wang dared not. Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Mom Wang has served me since I was a child. It is not easy for Mother Wang. How many people are under my control? I don't understand much, Zhang Zhi's family will return to Yangzhou after the new year, and I have to trouble you to continue to take care of me, if you have anything to bring to Grandma, just leave it to Mama Zhang."

Zijuan secretly wondered when Lin Daiyu, who used to be aloof and arrogant, became so approachable.This is about Yishuang's contribution. Yishuang is just to repay her kindness. Although she respects Daiyu as the fairy of Jiangzhu, she doesn't feel that she is a slave like a real maid. In the past, she would say that all living beings are suffering. For the same reason, after a long time, Daiyu will also think about things from the other side.There is another level, now that his father is supporting him, and Zhang's mother, Yishuang, etc. are fighting for him, so there is no need to be sensitive and petty about everything.

Nanny Wang was overjoyed, and looked nervously at Mama Zhang. Mama Zhang said, "You don't have to look at me like that. As long as you serve the young lady well, no one will look down on you. If you stay lazy in the future, I really can't save you." .”

Wang Momo said, "Naturally it should be so."

The table noodles Wang Xifeng sent were made with a reduction in comparison with the New Year’s Eve dinner in the mansion. The table of vegetarian dishes was very delicate. Lin Daiyu picked up a chopstick first and said, "This dish is very good. Although it looks like a meat dish, it is still delicious. It's vegetarian. It's just that you don't care about what you eat, and you don't have to do this in the future."

Yishuang said, "Just to make a show, is it possible that the girl still eats it as meat? That's the one who is really not jealous. There is a saying that wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart."

"You can say it." Lin Daiyu said, and then pointed to a few dishes and moved them down to give them a few.

A dish of squirrel perch, sweet and sour, very suitable for their southern taste, but it is actually made of mashed taro, which is soft and not inferior to fish, and several people shared it.

In previous years, there was the sound of firecrackers outside on New Year's Eve, but this year because of the late emperor's death, it was very deserted outside, and even relatives could not leave.

Lin Daiyu is not in good health and doesn't keep the old age. She only eats and washes up early as usual.She originally gave out red envelopes to the servants, but she saw that Xueyan and Zijuan were both wearing jade ornaments, and Yishuang was pure and clean, so she casually picked up a golden unicorn from the jewelry box and gave it to her, "I don't think so." I remember which one I gave you, so you can take it with you. It’s also Chinese New Year, so although it’s not very festive, you should dress up a bit.”

That unicorn is only the size of a baby's palm, full of color, it is exquisitely made, its eyes are inlaid with pearls, Yishuang said, "This is too precious, girl keep it for herself."

But Lin Daiyu actually likes to dress up very much. Since she keeps filial piety, she can only dress up the people around her, so she ignores her and just says, "If I give it to you, take it with you, and let Okra make a net for you and make it up." .Tomorrow is Lunar New Year’s Day, so look good.”

Yishuang wondered why this crimson bead fairy always likes to give me things, fortunately she is a person now, if it is still a flower, with so many gold, silver, pearls and jade hanging on her body, the pole will be broken.Daiyu is so particular, she really plays the piano to the cow.

On the third day of the junior high school, it was suddenly said that the eldest daughter of the Shi family had come.Jia Baoyu said happily, "The ancestor sent someone to pick up Sister Yun, right? Why didn't you tell your grandson?"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I thought it would be boring for you guys to stay at home, so you can talk to her after picking her up."

Just as I was talking, a girl in purple clothes came outside. She had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she was not as beautiful as Sanchun. After seeing her first, she threw herself into Jia Mu's arms, and Lin Daiyu stepped aside and let her go. behave in a spoiled manner.

Jia Baoyu said, "Sister Yun looks good in purple, but there is no red dress to call you."

"It's not easy to be dressed like this." Shi Xiangyun pouted, but Jia's mother just smiled and said nothing.Jia Baoyu privately heard her complain that her aunt was harsh and asked her to do her own sewing, so she thought that her aunt made things difficult for her, and felt very fond of her.

If the two wives of the historian hear it, their noses will be crooked.Today, the historian is a double prince, but the economy is a bit difficult, and the female family members do some needlework by themselves.It turned out that they had rushed some plain clothes for the national funeral, but the two aunts later felt that although they could wear regular clothes on the 27th, people like them should be more cautious after all, so they all cut light-colored materials.

Shi Xiangyun was not as good as the girls of Jia's family, and it doesn't look good in light colors, so he didn't like the light yellow and light green sent by the house. A few words.

"Every family has stopped feasting now, so you don't have to go out and work hard with your aunt." Jia Baoyu said in a low voice, but no one in the room heard it. Shi Xiangyun laughed and nodded, "It's still my ancestors who love me, Tete Pick me up and relax for two days."

Tanchun, who was sitting below, didn't quite understand Xiangyun. If Mrs. Wang was willing to take them out to work hard, she would really wish for it.Although Tanchun is smart, he can only see that Mrs. Wang is the housekeeper's wife in the mansion.Although Mrs. Wang lives in Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng does not want to be a noble, and the six-rank order is not even allowed to go to the palace to cry. Even if Mrs. Wang wants to take them out, everyone will look down on Jia's parents regardless of age , so no one would entertain her, and Jia's mother was unwilling to go out, and Mrs. Xing could not be on the stage.

Tanchun thought again that even if someone was willing to take them, she and Yingchun were no more than two concubines from the Rongguo Mansion, and it would not be of much benefit to go out, unlike Xiangyun, who is the daughter of the Hou family, so she was a little discouraged. It's also good to go out to gain a better future if you are a concubine.

Shi Xiangyun raised his head from Jiamu's arms to look at Lin Daiyu, "The purse on Sister Lin's body is so exquisite, I have never seen such a unique needlework before."

Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Daiyu, and Shi Xiangyun said again, "But sister Lin did it herself? Teach me later."

"I didn't do it, it's the handiwork of the girls in the house. If you like it, I'll give you some more in a while." Lin Daiyu said, not mentioning teaching her how to sew.

Mother Jia patted Shi Xiangyun on the back and said, "That's right, Yu'er gave you a few more for Sister Yun to play with. They haven't seen them before, they just looked fresh."

Shi Xiangyun pouted his nose, and was indescribably cute and straightforward, "The maids in Sister Lin's house are all so dexterous, I think Sister Lin's craftsmanship is even better."

Lin Daiyu was displeased, and said with a smile, "Everyone in the second elder brother's room is good at embroidery, so it's possible that he is also good at embroidery."

Reminiscing of Jia Baoyu holding a needle and thread in his hand to make flowers, it is also very interesting. The room burst into laughter, and even Jia's mother couldn't help laughing, pinching Lin Daiyu's nose, "You little naughty ghost. You Lin Daiyu My sister is weak, I have never allowed her to do more work, just read and write."

The latter sentence was addressed to Shi Xiangyun. Shi Xiangyun's smile did not change, and he went to trouble Baoyu again, "I have never seen the craftsmanship of the second brother, so you can also point out to me."

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said, "Don't make fun of me. There are some really good crafts in Sister Lin's house. If you are interested, let them teach you some. Their embroidery methods in the south are quite different from ours here."

Shi Xiangyun didn't speak, but Lin Daiyu was close and saw that she was not happy, so she pretended not to see her, and told Xueyan beside her, "Go back and ask Yishuang to find some purses for the sisters to play with. I just made them a few days ago. of those."

After half a cup of tea, Yishuang came with a box of purses, but she was wearing a purple moiré jacket, which was a bit similar to Shi Xiangyun's, a slightly darker rich purple.Yishuang first held the box in front of Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu said, "I said you were stupid, it's true, no matter how random they were put together, I made these two for my grandmother."

Speaking of which, he picked out a purse from the inside and handed it to Jia Mu. Unlike the usual flat stitch embroidery, it was actually a pattern of happiness and longevity embroidered with bead embroidery.

Jia Mu said strangely, "Usually I only use Zixiu embroidery to make a stamen, but you have used them all. It takes a lot of time to look at them."

Dazi embroidery was originally used to embroider a circle on the ground, or fall in the center of the circle, or go around two or three times and still fall in the same place, forming a small round knot, which is mostly used to embroider the pistil point.Although this purse is not big, but the pattern is exquisite, it needs to be put together with these small dots, one can imagine that it takes a lot of effort.

But Lin Daiyu said, "Although it took a lot of work, there is a benefit." Then she opened the purse, turned it over from the middle, and the inside became face, with the same pattern.

Mother Jia touched her hands and said, "It's really Yu'er, these hands are somehow long, your mother was not as good as you when you were your age."

"How can I compare it with my mother." Lin Daiyu picked another cat playing with butterflies, surrounded by peonies, "This one is a bit stingy, grandma don't dislike it."

Others don't know why Lin Daiyu's second purse is so lively, they only praise her first double-sided embroidery for its exquisiteness, but Xue Baochai said, "Cats are old, butterflies are old, and peonies are rich and noble flowers, which are just right for old ladies." Such a long-lived rich man. Hair is not only skillful in hand, but also clever in mind."

Jia Mu put her arms around Lin Daiyu and said, "Good Yuer."

This movement of hers made Shi Xiangyun uncomfortable, so he had to step aside as Lin Daiyu did before, but fortunately Jia Baoyu was next to her, and her movement happened to press on Jia Baoyu's clothes, and it was another fight.

Waiting for Mother Jia to deliver the two, Lin Daiyu motioned for Shi Xiangyun to pick first, "Since Sister Yun gets the first place, let Sister take it first."

Tanchun smiled and said, "Naturally, Sister Yun is a guest, so of course the guest picks first. Let Sister Bao be the next one."

But Xue Baochai said, "I've never loved these things. If they were given to me, they would be put on the shelf. I'll give mine to Sister Yun."

Shi Xiangyun said happily, "Since you are all so polite, then I will not be polite, but you don't want to pick everything you have agreed for a while."

Jia Baoyu advised her from the side, "This crabapple is pretty, and this peony is also pretty good."

The two muttered to each other for a long time, but fortunately Yishuang was a little flower demon, so she didn't feel sore hands, she just stood in front of them holding the box, and Xiangyun did exactly as Baochai said, even Baochai's one was picked away , Four were selected.

Yishuang had bent her waist a little, but when she stood up, the golden unicorn hanging around her neck fell out from the neckline.

Lin Daiyu said, "I thought you didn't like it, but I put it away after one day in the first day, and I still have it."

Yishuang blinked, so she could take it off and leave it alone, "Girl told me to take it on, so I took it on naturally, but the okra's ties are a little short, and they keep falling out."

Lin Daiyu was speechless for a moment, it was for you to wear it outside, what are you doing hiding in your clothes.Jia Baoyu interjected, "This golden unicorn is pretty, and it looks good on your purple jacket when you wear it outside. Girls should dress up well, why bother to learn a sober look."

The cleanest person in the room was Xue Baochai, who was wearing honey-colored clothes. She had nothing to do with herself, but Shi Xiangyun was a little bit unfair for her. Not wanting to wait for her to speak, Jia Baoyu said again, "I remember that Yun'er also has a unicorn, and This one is about the same size, just not as bright as this one."

Jia Mu said, "Really? I remember someone else's child seemed to be wearing a unicorn, but it was Yun'er."

Xue Baochai looked at Shi Xiangyun's complexion a little badly, and said with a smile, "Sister Yun's one is made of red gold with emerald greens, so it's naturally not as bright as this new gold."

Because of Jia Baoyu's study, she felt a little against this ice beauty in her heart, and she said something that seemed to be against her, and she immediately replied, "Sister Bao not only has a good memory for good sentences, but also the things she wears." Also pay attention like this. Gold is fine, it’s very good for pearls, and it’s on par with Diancui.”

"Okay, okay, hurry up and send purses to the second sister and the third sister. You fell out of a unicorn and quoted these words. I won't dare to give you any more things in the future." Lin Daiyu stretched out her hand and gently pushed Yishuang. Shuang hurriedly brought the purse to Yingchun again.

When Jia Mu was exhausted, the crowd dispersed. The three sisters Yingchun Tanchun and Xichun still went back to the house together, but Shi Xiangyun did not stay in Jiamu's room. He pulled Xue Baochai and said, "I'm talking to Sister Bao."

Xue Baochai led her home, and seeing Shi Xiangyun's aggrieved appearance, she couldn't help but sigh, "You also said that you came here to relax, why bother to be sad about these things, but I hurt you because of my wrong words, and I will apologize to Sister Yun. "

But Shi Xiangyun said, "Don't I know what's good or bad? Don't I know that Sister Bao is saving money for me? It turns out that she is everyone's daughter, and I only deserve to wear the same things and clothes as her maid. In the past There is no place for me to stand, if it is her, it will be fine, she has overwhelmed us in everything, but now a golden unicorn that is actually her servant has to overwhelm others, it is too deceiving."

"It's just some things outside of the body. It's the same sentence. Why bother. I don't even wear these. Is it possible that I am not as good as her maid?" Xue Baochai said.

"Sister, what are you talking about..." Shi Xiangyun hurriedly waved his hands, and his eyes turned red for a moment, "I must have caused you to be troubled, and with such people, only Sister Bao can help me say something."

Xue Baochai was silent for a moment, and when she calmed down, she called Yinger to bring her hot water to wash her face, "Wipe your face, I think you are angry with her again."

"How dare I be angry with her." Shi Xiangyun sneered, and then said to his maid Cuilu, "Go and talk to your ancestors, just say that I will stay with sister Tongbao for one night today, so we can talk."

Jia Mu was squinting on the couch, and she didn't open her eyes when she heard Cui Ling's words. She said after a while, "There's no reason to go to relatives to squeeze together. I'll still pick her up later, and say that the house has been tidied up." .”
