Enemies in the Red Chamber

One day, as soon as Daiyu came back from Yingchun, Nanny Li came over and said, "I heard that Grandma Xiaorong over there is very bad. The girl should go and see. Even if it is difficult, no one can pick out Lilai." , but after all, it is a face, and it also seems that our family can handle things."

Daiyu was puzzled, "Didn't it be fine a few days ago? Even though I was taking pills, didn't the imperial doctor say that there is no problem?"

Nanny Li naturally knew about those gossips, but she didn't want to go deep with Daiyu, she just said: "Who knows why I worry too much and get angry." Said that the girl knows that being a daughter-in-law is different from being a daughter. Whoever knows where a big family will not deal with it, plus some women, girls, servants and servants can really trivialize a person. Let me say, Grandma Xiao Rong is just too strong, she always smiles and is amiable to everyone, but there is no one in the world who is not angry, she just endures it by force, isn't it that something goes wrong if you endure it."

Daiyu naturally knew these truths, thinking that she had suffered a lot from them back then.

On the same day, Daiyu made an appointment to welcome the spring and explore the spring the next day.Xichun is one step closer, while Baochai is one step further away, so it is not easy to make an appointment with the two of them.

Let Wang Xifeng lead them, and the three of them came to the Ning Mansion, You Shi came out to welcome them, Xifeng joked, "Today is the protagonist of them, and I am the one who leads the horse and lifts the sedan chair."

Yingchun was the biggest, and asked: "Sister-in-law Zhen, why did Rong's daughter-in-law get sick when she was healthy?" Youshi sighed and said, "Who knows how this child got sick when she was healthy! It wasn't that serious at first, but her one the day before yesterday My brother got into a fight and quarrel with someone in the school, so he came over and cried again. My daughter-in-law is the most careful, but she is also strong. She said that it was because of her that her brother entered our school. How long has it been? I just got into a fight with someone, sorry for the old lady and Baoyu, I got sicker all of a sudden."

Hearing that the three Yingchun sisters came to see her, Qin Keqing changed her clothes and sat up. She cheered up and chatted with them. Daiyu and the others didn't dare to wait any longer when they saw this. giving birth.

After seeing Qin Keqing, the three of them couldn't help but sigh, that such an outstanding person was born so thin, like a haggard tree, with no luster in his eyes.Later, I was relieved when I heard that I had found a good doctor again.

Two days later it was the birthday of Grandpa Jia Jing in the Ning Mansion, and he was supposed to go to celebrate his birthday. Hearing that Jia Jing would not come back, he didn’t want to go there. The nuns looked down on the Ning Mansion, thinking so Some people will go there, maybe who will do something, it’s fine if they don’t go, and if they hear that the old lady won’t go, they won’t persuade them anymore.

Daiyu just led Brother Liu at home, but when she heard that Qin Keqing hadn't even got up, she sighed for a while.

Nanny Yi secretly discussed with Nanny Li, "It's a pity that this one doesn't have the heart of Concubine Yang Gui. I can't be relieved. I blame that bastard who killed a thousand knives. A good life will soon be tortured to death." But these words don't dare to let Daiyu and Brother Liu heard it.

After a while, I thought everything would be all right, but Baoyu came to Songzhuxuanli almost every day. After asking, I found out that it was the master of the school, Jia Dairu. They let them go on vacation.

No one in Zhuxuan cared about Jia Rui's death. Although he was from the same family here, he was an out-of-this-world man after all.However, the impact of Jia Rui's death was not small.Baoyu's entanglement is just a trivial matter, butler Lin outside feels that he has really begun to know what a wealthy family is.In the past, I only heard that the lions outside the gate of Jia's mansion were clean and there was no clean place. I thought it was because the outsiders were too jealous and slandered me. Now I have seen it.

Originally, Jia Rui was dead, but since Butler Lin was here, it was inevitable that he would pay a few gift money.Unexpectedly, while waiting for the vacancy in front of the seats, I overheard a few middle-aged and middle-aged men gathering together and talking some nasty things.

"Listen to my old lady, Uncle Rui's death is inseparable from that tigress. Uncle Rui went to ask for life-saving medicine, but she actually packed two taels of useless scraps to make up for it. When I came back, something from her family The wives and wives of Waibalu Village even got dozens of taels of silver, and here is a decent master, so you can see the difference. Don’t believe me, this is what Zhou Rui’s daughter said and heard from her mother.”

"Who doesn't believe it, who in the family doesn't know the person who is the one with the most honey in his mouth, and he is not afraid to turn into a ghost in the middle of the night to find her. You don't know, I have two close friends, they said My older sister Ping'er even secretly made them dump the shit once. Looking back, I'm afraid it was either Uncle Rui who spilled it."

"Sister Ping'er is kind and amiable, but she has a bad life and doesn't have a good master, so she is always forced to do some unconscionable things."

"Hey, these are not good news. Tsk, listen to me. My uncle's elder brother is next to Uncle Xiaorong. Guess what he heard? Uncle Rui hugged Uncle Xiaorong and called his sister-in-law! Haha, Which good sister-in-law do you think he called?"

Everyone laughed knowingly, "I knew that must be a coquettish one."

"It's a pity that I can't taste it. It must be better than those girls in the alley."

"Which famous brand are we on? It would be nice to see it. They have uncles and nephews, so there is no need for us."

Steward Lin had a lot of dealings with the Jia family, so he naturally knew who they were talking about, the more he listened to it, the more hesitant he felt, he went out and complained to the steward, only saying that there was something urgent and left.When I got back, I ordered the familiar shopkeeper to pull out a few old people to come over and check Jia Rui carefully.He also remembered what Anhe said last time about giving out profiteering money, and wanted to hear that Jia's house was headed by Lian's second grandmother. If this was true, she must have played a role in it, and ordered those people who were originally investigating to speed up the progress.Then call the two brothers An and Ankang and ask them to inquire as much as possible about the news from the two houses.

Steward Lin is the son of the Lin family, and has always put the interests of the Lin family first. Don't say that the girl and the young master are in their house now, even if they are not, they will not let it go if they know about it.The grandmother's natal family is like this, when the real incident happens, how will the Lin family deal with themselves, and the master's political enemies don't know how to get involved indiscriminately.Arms folded in sleeves, teeth knocked out and blood swallowed, it's better to know it first than to let outsiders grasp it.

It's also a coincidence that although these things have connections, they are not so easy to find out. Just happened to catch up with Qin Keqing's death, and the Ningrong and Rongfu were in chaos. Like a mule off its bridle, it is convenient to inquire about news.A few drinks, a few hairpins, and some money went out, and the news came back slowly.

The guy who came back to report the news was the most slick guy, and he said it happily with gestures. "The butler doesn't know, it's not been a day and a half in the mansion to release money for profit. Looking at the scenery, I don't know what it is. Although it was released in the name of a few servants, it can be seen that so many If you kill those families, you can’t take out the money, so I want to know who took it out.”

"When it comes to lending money for profit, there are a few companies in Beijing that have never done it, but I have never seen one that is so ruthless. Not to mention that the interest rate is higher than that of the bank, and it is more than three points higher than others. Not yet The government forced people to sell their houses and land, and even sold their sons and daughters. How many families have been ruined like this. I have no conscience, and I have no place to sue if I want to.”

"Speaking of complaints, there is one more thing. Does the butler know what is rumored outside? It is rumored outside, no matter how big the crime is, it is murder and arson. As long as you have money, ask the Jia family, nothing can't be solved Yes. We thought it was an exaggeration at the beginning. No one in the capital can make a fortune. The twisted ones might be the relatives of the noble family. Who dares to mess around. I checked and found out that it is really true. If there is such a thing, those who have a lot of face and a lot of money will go to their grandma, and those who snatch the land and houses from the people's daughters will take charge of the matter if they hand over the money. If the matter is not big and the money is not much, ask for a leader Come on, that is also useful. There is Zhou Rui, it is said that the person in the house is the servant next to the master's grandmother, and the person outside is called Uncle Zhou, who is well-known, so he does this a lot."

"Besides, the Jia Rui you asked to investigate, even if he died, he still has to say that he is not a serious person. Because the master in their religious school is his grandfather, he is always bullying and fearing the strong. A good-looking man with no wealth is committed to those good men. Especially since the uncle of the Xue family came, these things have been done a lot. As for those things that don’t respect ethics, hehe, I also Don't say it out to spoil your ears, just say one thing, although the rumors outside are not very true, there are eight or nine points."

"As for the uncle and the second master Lian in the mansion, they all know about it. Hehe, they are the most glamorous ones. To put it bluntly, they have never played together, and there are other things they haven't done before." Look at the butler's expression Not good, this kid is a clever person, and after thinking about it for a while, he understands a little bit, slightly refrained from gloating, and stopped mentioning the inner affairs of the Rongguo Mansion.

"Not to mention the Ning Mansion. There is still the old lady and the Second Master Zheng in the Rong Mansion, so you can restrain yourself no matter what. Over there, even a serious grandma can serve the two masters, let alone others. The two sisters of Mrs. Youshi are not serious people. Hehe, the girls in the alley are just like that. I really don’t know who told Uncle Zhen the matchmaker. Intuit... Hey! It’s also a deal. There is also a Qiang over there. Uncle, he was raised by Uncle Zhen since he was a child, how can he be clean. Later, Uncle Qiang was very close to Uncle Xiaorong, so I think I knew it. Although Uncle Qiang went out later, it was just to fool things. Is there anyone who doesn't know!"

Looking at the housekeeper's face again, he said cautiously: "It is said that the people around Second Master Bao are all aunts appointed by default, and Second Master Bao is the one who is closest to our girl..."

Butler Lin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. "Today, these words are not allowed to be spread outside, and tell those boys. Let me know who is talking nonsense, and be careful of the flesh on your body!"

Go back and communicate with Lin Hai, don't say anything, you have to take care of what should be taken care of, let's let people of two surnames ignore the family affairs first.Also, the master of the Lin family can no longer live in such a family!
