The Red Chamber Collection

After a few days, Taohua still came to Lin's residence to do business.

Taohua is different from Yang Dagui, although she feels sad, after all, they are her father-in-law and mother-in-law who have lived together for three years.People have feelings, and the elderly are kind to children.But so what?On such a death day as the first seven, Tao Hua accompanies Yang Dagui back home, and she also sheds tears from the bottom of her heart.

Yang Dagui couldn't let it go for a while, but luckily the child was babbling by his side all day long.Then his heart gradually turned to the child.

Besides, it wasn't his family that was in distress. Sad news came from both Zhangzhuang and Xiazhuang.Even Hu Chenzhuang, a family of seven, was not spared.There are even more homeless people going.

Taohua explained: "It's not the worst for us, at least we have a place to settle down. If those who go to relatives and friends are low-spirited, life will be difficult. Now some people sell their children, and three waves of people came to the mansion yesterday. "

One day later, Yang Dagui got up, took off his filial piety clothes, and said to Taohua: "Take me to see Sister Zijuan!"

Yang Dagui looked extremely haggard.Zijuan said: "You can rest for a few more days."

"No, I only think about the well-being of the child. The lives of the parents are concentrated on the child alone. I want the child to have no worries about food and clothing."

Zijuan went to talk to Daiyu, and Daiyu said, "You bring him to see me!"

When Yang Dagui saw Daiyu, he pulled Taohua and knelt down together.Said: "When the family encounters such misfortune, I am grateful for the help of the young lady, and the relief of the young lady. This servant will never forget it for the rest of my life. If I can be taken in by the young lady, I will do my best to help the young lady."

Daiyu listened and felt something was wrong, so she asked Taohua, "What do you mean?"

"We want to stay in the Lin Mansion as slaves for the rest of our lives. Dagui doesn't have any skills, he just has brute force. With Miss, Miss will control and do things. People do their best. Even in such a famine year, they will not starve to death." .”

Daiyu thought to herself, what do you mean? !Now I can control the fate of others, do I have this ability?

He said: "That's not necessary. I have something to do here. You can do it well. The silver you earn won't starve you!"

Taohua said again: "In the future, there will be more and more people here, Miss. You are so stupid. I am afraid that Miss will have too many things to take care of us at that time. Now I beg Miss to take you in and be her servant."

Daiyu had never encountered such a thing before.They are looking at the brilliance of Zicuckoo now, how do they know the life of Zicuckoo?This is a big deal, how can you make a hasty decision?

He said: "Go first, let me think about it."

After seeing the Taohua couple go.Zijuan said: "Miss, now we have to use people who care about us. If we keep them in the mansion, many things will be convenient in the future."

Daiyu said: "They are selling themselves!"

"It's also a good thing for Miss. They volunteered to be slaves. Where can I get the money? If it weren't for Miss, during the famine years, many people would starve to death. It's not sure who will fall on it!"

"Did they discuss this with you?"

Zijuan nodded and said: "My uncle and aunt also support them, it's just this matter. The young lady still needs to make a decision."

Daiyu said: "This matter can't be rushed, you call her parents."

Wang Fu'an and his wife came over.Standing under the hall, he knelt down to Daiyu.

Wang Fu'an said: "I hope that this matter will be completed by the young lady. If the young lady lives in the house, the child will also have hope. Before Taohua was married, she was very envious of Zijuan. Although Dagui is seven feet tall, he is also a brainless person. It's still Taohua who dominates this family. With Miss, Taohua's heart is at ease, and our hearts are also at ease."

Zijuan also knelt down to Daiyu and said, "I beg you to be fulfilled! In the future, there will be more people around the lady to take care of her, so the servants will feel at ease!"

Daiyu said: "Get up! Even the little hooves have the idea, so it's right. Just know that slaves have rules!"

Mrs. Wang Fu'an hurriedly said: "We all know this. It's all up to the young lady to accept the punishment. Even if you beat him to death, it is also the Lin family's business. It has nothing to do with our family!"

Daiyu still doesn't understand, how can there be such a reason to be a slave?However, it turns out that Taohua's decision is correct.I will explain myself later.

More and more people came to sell their sons and daughters, and Wang Fuan was overwhelmed.The Lin Mansion took in a dozen or so, and they stopped taking them in.Daiyu thought, so many people are needed, and they can't work, it's just to keep their family alive.It's just that there are not many silver taels in hand.

Wang Fu'an posted a notice at the door, stating that the girl and boy were no longer needed.

Zicuckoo began to be busy, teaching these girls and boys all day long.

However, there are not many who can make Daiyu fancy.Daiyu resigned from the green bamboo girl Zijuan gave her and left her for Zijuan.I picked a rough girl by myself.Daiyu felt that this girl didn't talk much, she only knew how to work, and she was quick with her hands and feet.Daiyu named her Banzhu.

This Banzhu is 15 years old, with a plump body and no makeup.With a round face, it looks like Baochai of the Jia family, but it is not as good-looking as Baochai.

Banzhu's family is from Jinling. There are many sisters in the family. They are the second eldest and cannot afford to support them.

Banzhu has an aunt who lives in Weizhuang, adjacent to Wangjiazhuang.Knowing that the Lin family wanted to buy someone, they asked someone to ask Wang Fu'an.

Daiyu thought, this mansion has a large population now, and food prices are skyrocketing.Fortunately, some food was saved before.

Affected by this disaster, the business of workshops has dropped significantly.Considering the future livelihood of the whole family, Daiyu thought, she cannot rely solely on this workshop.

However, things happened frequently in the mansion. First, when a girl came home, she was grabbed with a piece of cloth in her arms.

Xinghua whispered to Zicuckoo that it seems that the cloth is not right recently.So Zicuckoo watched the peach blossom secretly, but didn't grab it.

This day is the day to let the girls go home.The girl who walked outside was guarded by Wang Fu'an and other guards.It wasn't until there were no girls left in the house that Mrs. Wang Fu'an led several women to bring the girls into the house one by one and check them one by one.As a result, it was found that the two girls had cloth in their arms.

Wang Fuan sent someone to inform her family and took her home.Never again.The family members knelt down to Wang Fu'an Zijuan, but it was useless to ask.How can theft be tolerated?

However, one of the girls jumped into the river and drowned because of such a shameful incident.

This troubled Daiyu very much.A girl, although she is wrong, but she will not die!Is this the fault of the girl alone?

The popularity of the girl's family was not high enough, and a family came to make trouble outside Lin's mansion.Wang Fu'an is going to sue the officials for making trouble for no reason.

Daiyu knew it inside and came out.Seeing that it was Daiyu, the family's original arrogance disappeared immediately, and they remembered all kinds of rumors about the princess's punishment.Then he knelt down and cried: "Miss please be the master. Although the child is the one who made the mistake of stealing first, the Lin family will not let everyone know about the punishment. Not to mention the pressure on the child, even we have no face to face others. The child is very serious. Good boy, it's just that this year's disaster, her brother was ill due to lack of food, and he didn't get better in a month or two, so she thought about it. She thought that after her brother got better, she would never do such a thing again, those cloths , I took it and exchanged it for decoction.”

Daiyu asked Wang Fuan, "Do you understand these things?"

Wang Fu'an said: "I know, I know, but she shouldn't?"

"Since you know, why didn't you report it?" Daiyu said angrily, Wang Fu'an had never seen Daiyu so angry, and hurriedly knelt down.Daiyu said again: "As a housekeeper, do you think it's appropriate to handle such a matter like this?"

Taohua Yang Dagui saw his father kneeling, so he also knelt down.Everyone couldn't get to the bottom of their hearts, this young lady was not angry but mighty, the anger really made people tremble with fear.This is the result of a series of things that happened in Wangjiazhuang.

The girls watching the fun, seeing the housekeeper and Tao Hua Xinghua kneeling, dare not not kneel.There was a kneeling in the yard.

Zijuan knelt down and pleaded for Wang Fuan: "The uncle has never experienced such a thing, and he didn't expect this girl to commit suicide! I hope Miss can forgive me."

"Do you know about this?" Daiyu asked Zijuan angrily.

Zijuan lowered her head and said, "I don't know about her family situation."

Daiyu said: "Haven't you experienced it? Could it be that your heart is so indifferent? If you work in my mansion, you are a member of Lin's mansion. Others can ignore it, so don't they care about what happens to people in the mansion? Then what has become of Lin's mansion?" ?”

Daiyu pointed at Wang Fu'an again and said, "Remove Steward Wang's one month's silver, and I will spare you this time. Next time, if you commit a crime again, all those who participate and fail to report will be punished!" Daiyu turned to the family again and said angrily: " Are you yelling, are you trying to make trouble here?"

"The villain dare not, the villain wants the young lady to uphold justice."

"How do you want to be fair?" Daiyu said.

"Miss's punishment, the villain is convinced! The villain feels much better! This is also an explanation for the dead daughter." The family wiped their sweat and kowtowed: "The villain will go back and give the girl Buried!"

Daiyu said: "Get up, Steward Wang, you give him 20 taels of silver. The wages owed to her will be given to others. The other girls will also be owed to others."

Wang Fu'an hurriedly said: "Miss Xie taught me. Miss, let the slave pay for the 20 taels of silver, and the slave will feel better!"

Daiyu agrees.

When Wang Fu'an came home at night, his wife said, "You've lost your face today!"

"Hey!" Wang Fu'an sighed, "I didn't expect Miss to be such a person, and Wang Fu'an admires me! Even if it's embarrassing, it's worth it!"

On the second day, Wang Fu'an came to the door in person and gave the money to the family.Say something reassuring.

The man knelt down to Wang Fu'an and said, "The young one has ashes in his eyes and doesn't know adults. The young one knows his mistake. The young one will never dare to accept this money!"

Wang Fu'an said: "Don't worry, miss is different from others, since you are asked to take it, you take it. This year's harvest is not good, so it's better to save some urgent care! Hurry up and see a doctor for the child, the most important thing is to get treatment."

That person kowtowed and thanked him!received!

Wang Fu'an reported back to Daiyu.

Daiyu said: "Don't blame me for keeping you from stepping down in front of everyone. I just use what you do to convince everyone. If that family continues to make trouble like this, how decent is it? Even such a family doesn't take Lin Fu seriously. , let alone others!"

Wang Fu'an hurriedly nodded in agreement.Said: "From now on, the Lin family really needs to establish some rules!"

Daiyu said: "Go and gather everyone in the front yard!"

Wang Fuan went in a hurry! L
