[Red Mansions] The big maid struggles daily

Yang Lin graciously sent the shopkeeper of Xue's pawn shop back to his home, but before leaving, he carefully looked at the small house, and said with a smile: "It's a good house, don't worry, big shopkeeper, this place of yours will not be destroyed in the future. I asked the boy below to show you, Bao must not have dared to play wild and make trouble here."

After the man left, the big shopkeeper came back to his senses, and his mind, which had been muddled by pride and money, suddenly became clear.

"Hey, let me tell you, what are you doing here if you don't come in when you go home? Who are you looking at? Who did you leave with me? Are you so reluctant?" The shopkeeper's wife had heard from the gatekeeper that her master had returned. Waiting left and right, but no one was there, so when I came out to look for it, I saw a man standing in front of the gate in a daze.

"What is this holding in your arms? Tell me to take a look."

The big shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said impatiently: "What are you arguing about? It's the business of the gentlemen outside, what are you meddling with, you woman!"

The shopkeeper's wife spat, lost her face and left.The shopkeeper ignored her and slapped his thigh. He just wanted to make a fortune from him, but he forgot that the people in these bodyguards have some knowledge. .Those rangers who are watched by the yamen, if they enter the city and live in the escort bureau, the government will not be able to come to arrest people... Well, I should put away my fancy ideas and wait for someone to come honestly.

After going around in circles, Yang Lin quietly went back to Lin's house, hurried to find Lin An, and told the story.

The butler of the Lin family was drenched in cold sweat on his back, and immediately opened the warehouse to take out the official silver: "The most urgent thing is to get the cloak back first, and the girl's needlework must not fall into the hands of others! Remember to avoid people, there is nothing wrong with it here. Simple!"

Yang Lin carried the two boxes of silver onto the mule cart by himself, "Don't worry, I know..." Then he put on his big hat and drove the mule cart quietly to the small gate.

Lin An immediately called his daughter-in-law over: "...the girl took someone to check and pack it herself, and there was nothing wrong with it from the girl's room to the loading of the carriage. The carriage went to Tongzhou without stopping all the way, and there was nothing wrong with it. In Tongzhou The house rested all night, and the ship was loaded on the second day, and the ship left immediately... Then the fault should be in the Tongzhou house! You pressed these objects that night, and all the things the girl gave were unloaded in the inner courtyard , Think about it, what's the difference?... If there are other leaks outside, then ten thousand deaths will be hard to atone for!"

Lin An's family thought for a while, then shook their heads and said, "Our master is being stared at by wolves, I know how bad it is. All these boxes and cages that can fit in my house have been put in, except for a larger camphorwood box and a dozen or so boxes. The jar of wine told me to lock it in the cabin, and when it was loaded on the ship the next day, I checked it out according to the list, and it was clear that one piece was not too much and one was not too little... Do you think it will be on the ship?"

Lin An said firmly: "No, there are some other people on the boat, who are safe. Not to mention that the people on the boat are all old people our family trusts, even if they have ulterior motives, they can't make a splash, let alone get out of the boat. Steal something."

Lin An's family knew that there was something unspeakable here, so they stopped asking immediately, "The custodian in my room is fine, and I almost didn't close my eyes. When you go in to pick it up, no one can get close But... the camphor wood box contains large pieces, and there are a mink fur quilt, a fox fur quilt, and the green cloak in total. Those silk and brocade things cannot be made of camphor. The wooden box is made of fir, so I remember clearly that the fir was moved into the room first, and then I couldn’t fit it, so I left this big camphor wood box..."

No matter what, Lin An breathed a sigh of relief, the only thing that leaked out was this one, and the other two beddings were not the girl's needlework.

"The key to the wing room is in my hand. I locked the second door of the inner courtyard at night. If you are outside, it will be difficult for someone to get in and out. Besides, we counted things the next day, and there is nothing missing..." The man who dropped the bag Ghosts must come out of the inner courtyard, but...

"If it's for money, why steal this cloak? Isn't the upper body so conspicuous? The fur quilt is also a good thing, and it's better than the cloak. If it's not for money, then it must be for the sake of the master and the girl." Yes! But how do you know that this green cloak is the girl’s work? You can find it so accurately?” Besides, she also prepared to take off a fake cloak that was dropped.

Lin An squinted his eyes, that's not what he said, the girl did a lot of needlework for the master, and the girl and woman did a lot, but how could they tell the difference between the outsiders.Except for Si Yue and the two nuns who were close to the girl's room, other people in the yard may not know.

"...Speaking of which, I didn't feel it before, but now that I think of it, there is something wrong with the two nurses of the girl! Wang Momo and Jiang Momo are usually quiet and honest, but that day Jiang Momo Holding the bedding upside down and wanting to be my company, I didn't let me in. Mother Wang even complained to me that she couldn't go back to Yangzhou with the boat this time..."

Lin An stood up: "I'll arrange for my family to send you to Tongzhou now. That night, all the nuns and girls in the inner courtyard will be locked up first. It's a good idea to prepare replacement things in advance. If the camphor wood box also entered the house that night, I am afraid that night will not be so safe."

What he said about Lin An's family also understood eighty-nine points: there is obviously something wrong with the two nurses, if they didn't find what they wanted in the camphor box that day, that night would not be peaceful. Something will always happen to those who sneak into the water.Another one is that the servants of the rich family still have good eyesight. They know that the camphor wood boxes are used for leather goods, and the cedar wood boxes are used for silk cloth. , but there is no reason for the twist.

"Why are you so sure that this cloak is made by a girl? You only stared at this one and prepared fake things. You can hide it from the public when you check on the boat. The fake cloak must be at least six points similar?" Yang said. Lin came back in a short while, took a big bag from the car, and asked.

One must know that even if his sister Juyue went to the house, she would not tell the brother what the girl made for the master.

Yang Lin was favored by Lin Ruhai, and he had gradually helped Lin Ruhai with his affairs over the years. Therefore, apart from Lin An, he knew the most about the affairs of the capital.

"Your aunt has gone to Tongzhou, and it's not too important there. Let's go! I'll go to the girl's place, get the things, and say that the master has delivered the letter. You still go back to Xue's house, and clean your tail first." The important thing is that nothing goes wrong with the girl.

Lin Ruhai's letters were often sent in by Lin An or his daughter-in-law in person. Jia's family had long been used to it, and they didn't even ask questions. They go in again.

Lin An had no choice but to become a money-scattering old man again, rewarding his disciples with two or three drops of money, and telling them to have a glass of wine to keep them warm.

After entering Meishouyuan, Lin An's family sat down in the inverted room, leaving only two nuns, Zhu and Chen, and told the story in detail.

"...If you two can't believe it, then the girl has already become a sieve here. Why do those people go to such effort. Think about it, you two, who knows what kind of needlework the girl has done, and who is there? Could something be wrong?"

Zhu and Chen were frightened for a while, covered in white sweat: If the girl's needle and thread fell into the hands of Mr. Xue's family, someone with a heart would shout out to let others know, is the girl alive or dead?They took precautions like this, and they almost lost a whole yard of people.

"It can't be the girls who are close to the girl. Apart from reading and writing, the girl often likes to do a few stitches. If these girls have other intentions, it's not better to steal a pouch, sachet or handkerchief. This kind of thing is even more unclear."

Lin An nodded. Men and women are distinguished by affection, and women often make purses and handkerchiefs as gifts.If there is such a thing, it is more difficult to wash than the cloak.

Mother Zhu took a deep breath and said, "This cloak was made by my girl and girl together. She learned embroidery from me, and her hands and feet are faster than the girl. Most of this cloak is my girl's needlework... Leaving aside the others Not to mention, if it is really shouted out, it can be pushed to the embroidered girl. The cloud pattern and stitches are the usual style of the embroidered girl. That's right... the person who knows that the cloak is a girl's handicraft only knows one thing and doesn't know the other, if he knows that there are also girls' work to embroider it, would he still choose this one?"

This is the truth!Both Lin An and Chen Momo were taken aback, especially Chen Momo, she said: "These people who can enter the girl's room have seen the girl and the embroidered girl working together."

It must not be these people, and even the news did not come out from here.Lin An felt relieved, it's easy to say that it's not his own.

"The Xue family girl! It's the Xue family girl!" Chen Mama thought for a while, then suddenly said, "We usually sleep with one eye open on the girl, and that day when the boat comes, we are really busy, so we all go to the house Help, Miss Xue and Master Bao are here."

Chen Momo remembered that when she came back, Taoyue complained about Jia Baoyu's nanny being drunk and crazy in this yard, that Japan should leave someone with the girl, and she and Zhu Momo came back to criticize themselves for this. "I'll call Taoyue over."

Suddenly, Taoyue came, "Miss Xue came first, and asked the girl what she was doing, and the girl said she was making clothes for the master, and Miss Xue still came to see."

Lin An's fingers tapped on the table little by little, and Mother Zhu thought of something, and said to Taoyue, "You ask Juyue to come over, don't disturb other people, what to do."

Taoyue was confused and hurried away.

"Juyue is in charge of the girl's things, and she cares most about other people's clothing, behavior, and behavior. Let's ask her about the situation that day, and maybe we can find something." In fact, Xiu'er has the best memory and sharpest eyes. It's just that Xiu'er is not from the Lin family, and at this time the only one she can trust is her own girl.

Grandma Chen saw that Nanny Zhu's face was so gloomy, she knew what she was thinking, because Juyue came over, she pressed her head down.

Juyue really remembered, and told about Xue Baochai's master and servant, including Jia Baoyu's clothes, words and deeds that day.

After Juyue retreated, Lin An sneered and said, "Cloisonné enamel eight-treasure hand stove with auspicious patterns? The Xue family is not as good as every year, and now even the job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is almost lost. Where did this inner-made enamel hand stove come from?" The auspicious pattern of the eight treasures is a new pattern that was only tinkered with in the autumn of this year. The eight treasures of Buddhism have complicated patterns, that is, there are a few pieces in the palace. Already!"

Enamel has always been famous for combining the warmth of jade, the brilliance of jewelry, and the fineness of bone china, and the enamel craft was once lost due to the war in the last years of the previous dynasty. The research and development of enamelware can revive the craftsmanship.Among the enamel crafts, only filigree is the most complicated of all enamel crafts, and the difficulty of filigree enamel lies in the fineness of the metal wires. The smaller the area of ​​the pattern, the more difficult it is to make thin metal wires.

When Mother Zhu heard about it, she murmured: "Let's not talk about the reason for this hand stove, but this lowly trick of using a girl's needle and thread to a stranger reminds me of an old incident."

"First Huihou had a niece, but Huihou's child couldn't stand up, and was overly sad. Cheng Engong sent the little daughter to the palace to accompany Huihou. Huihou loved this niece like a treasure... who knows In the lead of choosing a marriage, the nephew of Concubine Zhen's family swaggered through the market with a purse, and was recognized as the girl's needlework... The saint at that time and now Shanghuang wanted to give him a marriage, but the girl was a fierce one. Died at the gate of Concubine Zhen's palace."

These words made the faces of the other two become gloomy, and Mother Chen asked: "You mean that it was not a coincidence that the cloak was on the door of Xue's house, but someone deliberately wanted our girl to marry Xue's family? Pooh! Wangxiang Singing loudly on the stage, ghosts who don’t know how to die dare to imagine..."

Grandma Chen stared blankly at the boss, the Xue family's name is Xue Pan, and his reputation as a bastard has spread all over Sijiu City, how dare...how dare!

"Where did such a coincidence come from? Anyway, I don't believe that it took a lot of trouble to change it out secretly, and just pretended to be a fool!" Madam Zhu felt that there must be Master Lin's reasons for this, otherwise the girl would die in the world. There is no dispute, although the backyard of the Rong Mansion is chaotic, it is really unlikely that it can accomplish great things.Besides, how could those despicable and dirty methods target a lady in the inner house for no reason?

What's the benefit of just bringing the Lin family and the Xue family together?Lin An's mind turned sharply. The master had voted for the present in the past, and now he is doing the current job in private... If there is anyone who is most afraid of the master finding out, it must be the Zhen family who has occupied the south of the Yangtze River for twenty years.But the master sent the girl to the Rong Mansion because of the close relationship between the Rong Mansion and the Zhen family for several lifetimes, and hoped that the Rong Mansion would protect the girl.Now, another Xue family is involved...

Rongguo Mansion, Zhen Family, Concubine Zhen, Cloisonné Enamel Eight Treasures Auspicious Pattern Hand Stove, Xue Pan, Xue Family...!Lin An picked up the tea, concealed the expression on his face, and said: "Okay! This is the end of the matter. It should be exposed by the eldest girl of the Xue family. The master of the Xue family is not clean, and I am afraid that the Xue family will also return to the house." I don't know, if I hadn't paid attention to it, I would never have asked Yang Lin to cut him off. But the matter is over, the Xue family knows, even if they point at the master, they will definitely push the boat. And the Xue family's uncle has a pile of braids , Known as the overlord, dragging this person into the water is simply too easy... If it is Weng's son-in-law, and the master has only the flesh and blood of a girl, then the master will have no choice but to go into the water."

Lin An said this to ask the two nuns to calmly talk to the girl about the twists and turns: "The girl's temper is just like the master's, so she is proud and sincere. This is the girl's benefit. The master's meaning is not Let the girl learn to be tactful and sophisticated, but the girl is smart, so it would be better if she knew it. She has this in her heart, although she disdains it, but we girls can see through other people's deliberate calculations. This is enough, Those pickled things outside have their own master's cooking."

The two nuns looked at each other and hurriedly agreed.Mother Chen was also a little worried when she thought of those wines. The master is the umbrella on their heads and the reliance behind them, but they can no longer go on business with the master. "Those wines, are you okay?" .

Lin An smiled, and didn't say much: "Don't worry, the master of this wine is very good to drink, and he will never let people take advantage of loopholes here!" As he spoke, he glanced at Madam Zhu, and didn't know what happened between the girl and the daughter of the Zhu family. That's right, if this wine is mixed with a little bit of other things, it will turn muddy and sour.In the first few jars, someone really did something wrong, and a long-term follower who had been with the master for two years was dug out from inside.

Madam Zhu lowered her eyes, the daughter and the girl are careful, there are mysteries hidden in the wine jar and the yellow clay that seals the jar, different numbers are engraved in the inconspicuous places in the wine jar, and there is also an inconspicuous one mixed in the yellow clay. There are also small porcelain pieces, and there are also engravings on the porcelain pieces. If one of these two is not right, the master will know that it is fake.Outsiders just want to fish in troubled waters and change secretly, but they can't.

When it came to Lin Daiyu, it was considered temporary.Daiyu had always vaguely known that her father was in a bad situation, but the family kept it from her, so she didn't ask, but there was still a heart hanging in her sleep.Now that I know it, even though I have cried a lot, I also know that I am one with my father, and my father has no intention of abandoning her, so I feel at ease in my heart.

"There must be a turning point for my father. Those people are in a hurry..." Seeing Daiyu's swollen peach eyes, but very clear and energetic, she said this with two small eyebrows, she couldn't help but say this. Nanny Chen smiled in relief.

"That's it. As long as this matter ends here, the three of us chewed it up and swallowed it in our stomachs. No one can say it, let alone let the people in this house know."

It's a good feeling not to be excluded, Daiyu is very energetic, and nodded in response: She is here to protect her father.

Unexpectedly, after running outside for two days, Lin An suddenly came into the mansion again, with only one thing in mind: return to Yangzhou!

"The things here are not simple. I don't take anything in the yard except the girl's things. I leave someone to guard the yard... I will give my speech to the old lady today, and I will leave tomorrow! The boat has been ready in Tongzhou... ..."

Lin An's expression was tense, the Zhen family's involvement was too deep here: on October [-]th, the day when the palace flowers were made, the Zhen family envoys gave the Jia family a lot of ceremonial gifts, it doesn't matter, the important thing is There were some people mixed up on the boat that Zhen's family sailed into North Korea, but the family couldn't find out the origin.Since the boat entered Tongzhou Mansion in the name of entering the Korean Empire, not only my own family, but also several families in the city have had some unspeakable things... Rongguo Mansion is like a sieve, this mansion must not let the girl come again stay.

"Let's just say that the master is a little sick, and I really miss the girl, so I came to pick her up... If it's really difficult, just say that I will send her back in the spring of next year." Lin An didn't know if he would come back, after all, Yangzhou is only temporarily calm, but Once this appearance is broken, the master will definitely send the girl away.

Lin An thought about the letter from Yangzhou before, saying that the master coughed a little after autumn, and it was not a curse to say that he was slightly ill, so he immediately asked Miss Hui to know.

Daiyu loves to cry, but after listening to the two nuns explain the whole story, even though she knew that her old father was safe, she still missed her relatives unbearably, and when she thought of her mother, she burst into tears.In the Rongqing hall, Jia Mu hugged her, and everyone tried to persuade her not to stop.

"Why is Mrs. Lin rushing to take Yu'er back? It's winter, how cold is it on the boat, how can my Yu'er stand it! I will write to my uncle immediately, if I really miss my child It won't be too late to pick it up next spring!" Mother Jia became more and more depressed when she heard this, and refused, wiping her tears.

The two wives of King Xing persuaded, and Mrs. Xing said: "This is a family relationship. Uncle Lin is sick again. It is human nature to miss her daughter. The old lady agreed because of the filial piety of Uncle Lin and his niece. stop!"

This is the role of the red face in the New Year ceremony. Chen Nanny glanced at Mrs. Xing, and deliberately asked her to see her expression of gratitude.Mrs. Xing squeezed the handkerchief, thinking of the unbroken gift of the Lin family's three festivals and two lifespans, she suddenly had the courage to persuade Jia's mother.

Jia's mother's face turned dark, what did people hear what she meant, she became a villain who separated father and daughter from her compassionate heart!

Crying louder and louder, Jia Min cried again, beating his chest and saying, "Once you go, it's like picking my heart! It's so easy to have Yu'er by my side, and I look at her like I look at you, my dear." Min'er..."

Jia's mother's behavior is commonplace, not to mention the Lin family, even Mrs. Wang is also cold-faced. When Baoyu was raised by the old lady's knee until she was three years old, she really thought hard and wanted to move Baoyu back to live for a while.What did the old lady say, she cried like this, she just changed "Min'er" to "Zhu'er", her own Pearl has only been gone for a few months, the old lady is stabbing herself in the heart !Now here again.

The whole family persuaded her, and even Jia She and Jia Zheng were alarmed. Jia She really had a good impression of her niece. The Lin family was very good at doing things, and they never neglected to hold their second child. It was all sent into the heart of his old man.

It was only in the middle of the night that Jia's mother let go, saying that it was not easy to stop and persuade Jia Lian to send Daiyu back, and she would bring it back in the spring.

In this cold day, if we don't make it happen, we may have to celebrate the New Year on a boat, Jia Lian secretly curled his lips, the old lady really loves her granddaughter so much that she forgets her grandson.

While Sister Feng was helping him with some earthen instruments, she was uncomfortable and busy, so she heard Ping'er come in and say, "Grandma, sister Zhuxiu is here."

When Sister Feng heard about it, she took a look at Jia Lian and went out to the outside room.

"Why did you come here at this moment? Is it the old lady or what's the matter with Sister Lin?" Sister Feng thought that the Lin family had chosen a date quickly, and she felt very unhappy.

Zhu Xiu glanced at Ping'er, and Ping'er laughed, and excused the two little girls Caiming and Feng'er from the house, and she sat on the porch and beat her legs.

"Second Mistress, it's a world of ice and snow, and it's an urgent boat. Miss Lin, why bother Second Master Lian to follow her. Send me over and tell Grandma, just put on a show, and say that the Lin family is leaving in a hurry. Lian It's over if the second master doesn't catch up."

Sister Feng was overjoyed, then shook her head and said, "It's useless, the old lady has spoken, who dares to disobey her."

Zhu Xiu just laughed: "There are two reasons here, grandma, let me tell you: one is that the second master Lian grew up in the capital, and he may not be able to withstand the urgent boat for more than half a month. In the water town, even the ladies in the boudoir often have to take a boat; the second one is about to be young, so how many things do you have to help with the second master Lian? Although grandma is ten times stronger than a man, there are some human relationships outside, so it is always necessary The second master Lian can only agree to it. Now the two masters in this mansion don't care much. If the second master Lian is gone now, no one from those old relatives and friends will visit and walk around. I don't know how many people will be offended...Grandma thinks about it That's not the reason."

Sister Feng has long been willing, but she still said: "Although this is said, it makes sense, but what does the old lady say?"

Zhu Xiu smiled inwardly, she was trying to please her and act obediently, she deliberately whispered: "The Lin family will leave early in the morning. No matter what you say, we are really leaving in such a hurry, we can't rely on Second Master Lian to go."

Sister Feng's eyes twinkle, and she will leave tomorrow, which is a good excuse.No matter how much you say, no one expected the Lin family to be so anxious, so they couldn't rely on Lian Er.

"In such a rush? Can you take care of the gift and package?" Sister Feng took Zhu Xiu's hand and asked quickly, "You mean us?"

Zhu Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Since I've said all I need to say, I'll go back now. I'll come back later to say hello to Second Mistress." After finishing speaking, she went out.

Jia Lian lifted the curtain and leaned against the door, and said with a smile, "Sister Lin still loves her cousin, so I can take a good rest."

Sister Feng turned her head and spat, and was puzzled again: "Why is the Lin family in such a hurry? I just said it today, and I'm leaving tomorrow?"

Jia Lian sneered and said, "I'm not afraid. I'm afraid that the old lady will change her mind if she doesn't leave. Then the old lady will ask a doctor to tell her that she is ill. Should sister Lin go or not?" The matter caused his eldest grandson to make Jia Lian feel upset.Ordinarily, sending my cousin back is also a proper duty, but it was Lai Da who picked it up, and he was not sent to express condolences to the aunt who was in mourning, and Uncle Pian Lin asked him to pick up his daughter—it was not a matter of business, and at this time he was If I followed her, wouldn't it mean to hold my uncle down and tell him to send his daughter back? What would Uncle Lin think?

Saying that, Jia Lian leaned on the kang, squinting at Xifeng: "Now that you know this Qiao Zong'er, don't you hurry up and show your merits to the old lady?" Sell your man out so that you can show your merits.

Sister Feng gave him a blank look, ignored him, and called Ping'er to come in and asked: "I heard what Zhu Xiu girl said, is she going to follow?" Thinking that she wanted to borrow this girl when she was pregnant with her eldest sister, the old lady didn't Ken.

Ping'er smiled and said: "Mother Zhu was ill when she returned to Yangzhou that year, and she almost didn't survive... Madam Zhu was afraid that Miss Lin would not like her eating and drinking on the boat. The girl Zhu embroidery knows new skills, and Madam Zhu Mama begged the old lady, and the old lady agreed."

Sister Feng immediately understood that there was still Zhu Mama and the Lin family's face here, no wonder.

Jia Lian lay down and said with a smile: "I just said that the old lady's Zhuxiu girl is very neat, but she can't see her very well, and she doesn't talk to the men when she sees her. I'm still puzzled. A girl who can't talk to make things easy, even if she looks good, how can she get the favor of the old lady. But just now I heard what she said to you, ouch, I thought that the words in this world would be exhausted when they came to your mouth, tsk tsk, today Only then did I know that people have reason and evidence, and they are more sensible than you."

Sister Feng said: "Hey, if you have never seen the world, if you fall in love, it's not worth anything. I'll just exchange Ping'er with the old lady. If Ping'er can't make it, I'll add a few more good ones... ...The Qiutong girl from the old man's place, I think it's okay, I bought a few liang of silver and bought it from the old man in exchange for it, and Ping'er pinched it together to exchange for the Zhuxiu girl."

Jia Lian knew that he and Qiu Tong were eyeing each other and the vinegar jar saw it, so they had an excuse to get angry, and they were embarrassing, but they didn't talk back.

Sister Feng wanted to say more, but Ping'er snorted through her nose: "Whoever I am, I dare to compare myself to others! Don't tell me to say good things." Saying this, she threw the curtain and went out.

-

The north wind howled all night, and early the next morning, Jia Mufang packed up and had morning tea.Lin Daiyu dressed neatly and took her mother and maid to say goodbye.

Mother Jia stood up in shock and asked, "Is the packing done? No, I'm in such a hurry, I can't rest assured."

Yesterday she cried too much, Daiyu's eyes were slightly swollen, she forced a smile and said: "When my father sent to pick me up, everything was arranged, I just brought some personal and frequently used things, besides, there is not much to clean up when I come. "

Mother Zhu said aside: "Master Lin's arrangement is very appropriate, the housekeeper has also invited a female bodyguard to accompany him, besides, there are so many boats from the north and the south at this time, and the canal to the north has not yet frozen, so it will be hard to say if it is a few days later." gone."

Jia's mother had no choice but to agree, and ordered someone to rush Jia Lian.

Seven or eight carriages outside Meishouyuan were ready, and when Lin Daiyu and his party came back, they left the mansion immediately.

Jia Lian dawdled for a while, and even asked the woman who stayed in the yard to clean up the car marks diligently.

An angry Jia Mu scolded Jia Lian, but it didn't help.

Afterwards, a housekeeper's daughter-in-law left behind by the Lin family expressed her annoyance to the two wives of King Xing, saying that the girl left in a hurry and could not come to speak in person.The two wives both said that they had resigned the day before, so there was no need to be polite.

After the New Year's Eve, Jia's mother was still a little depressed, and she often broke out.Unexpectedly, something happened to Jia Baoyu in the first lunar month, which made Jia's mother no longer care about other things.

But it turned out that Jia Baoyu didn't know that Daiyu left in a hurry to say goodbye.Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong were close again, and Qin Zhong often stayed in Rong Mansion, and Jia Baoyu occasionally stayed in Ning Mansion. Stayed in Ningfu.Because Jia Rong's wife, the Qin family, was always considerate, Jia's mother asked her to go and see her for a while and agreed.When I woke up the next day, the building was already empty.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu only felt empty and uncomfortable in his heart, and he was lazy to go out for many days, just nestling in his room and laughing with the girl.

Who knows that Bihen has a progressive mind, and has a glimpse of the matter between Xiren and Baoyu, so he works very hard while Jia Baoyu is at home.

One day, Xiren's mother took Xiren back to have New Year's tea. Jia Baoyu came back after seeing Mrs. Wang, but there was no one in the room.

Bihensheng is romantic and dexterous. Seeing that although Qingwen did not have an affair with Baoyu, she was very fond of Baoyu, so she deliberately imitated Qingwen, and her appearance and even her actions were beautiful and enchanting.All these painstaking efforts were not in vain, she was able to beat Qiuwen by a head in front of Jia Baoyu.

It happened that no one was there. Seeing this opportunity, how could she not seize it and move forward.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had a good time, but unexpectedly, a rough girl bumped into them.
