The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Wang said to Wang Xifeng, "Have you run out of monthly money?"

Wang Xifeng replied: "It's over. I just went upstairs to look for satin, but I haven't found it like what my wife said for a long time. I must have remembered it wrong."

Mrs. Wang said: "It doesn't matter if you find it or not. You should take out two horses and make clothes for your sister Lin and Brother Lin."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I've prepared it for a long time, and I'm thinking of bringing it to my wife for review before sending it." Madam Wang nodded.

Lin Qu said: "I dare not bother my second aunt. We are already troubled if we want to live in second aunt's house. Although we came in a hurry, we have all the usual things."

Wang Xifeng said: "It's irrelevant, just use it."

Lin Xiang smiled and said, "Then thank you Second Aunt and Second Sister Lian."

At the side, Mrs. Xing twisted her handkerchief tightly, and found that it was the two of them who were courteous, and it was also the two of them who gave people a face-smacking just now, so they didn't panic.

For a while, the Sanchun sisters came, and they got to know each other again, and sat down with each other.The Sanchun sisters live in Jiamu's house, regardless of their concubines, their food and clothing costs are the same, so they wear exactly the same clothes and hairpins, and they all look beautiful.The Sanchun sisters seldom go out to socialize, and they are very happy to have a few younger ones at home, as well as a handsome girl who makes them feel ashamed.

Everyone gossiped for a while, and Mother Jia asked her mother-in-law to lead her to see the two uncles. Lin Xiang said, "I was going to see them just now, but the housekeeper said that the two uncles happened to be absent."

Jia's mother glanced at the two daughters-in-law and said nothing more. She only asked about Jia Min's situation before he was alive, and Lin Xiang answered them one by one.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Mu was blaming them both, and they were worried.Forget it Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng has always been in favor of Jia's mother, and he will be fine after a few words of coaxing. Besides, he does have something to go out today;It's just blindly messing around with the concubines, who can treat a worthless son.

After a while, Chunjing poked his probe at the door, and Lin Qiong saw it with sharp eyes. She thought to herself, don't let Jia's mother say that Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu live together.

Seeing his second master calling, Chunjing hurried over and whispered in his ear, "Second Master, our things are all put in the old lady's wing in this mansion. I don't know how to arrange it?"

Lin Qiong nodded, and gave her a wink to signal her not to panic. After listening to Jia Mu teasing the tree slaves for a while, she said with a smile, "Grandmother, my sister's personal girl came here to ask for instructions. I don't know which yard our brothers and sisters live in? So that they can clean up in advance." alright."

Jia Mu said: "What are you going to do in another yard? You have been here for several years, and I feel sorry for you. You all live in my yard, laughing and joking with me every day. This is the filial piety of your juniors."

Lin Qiong said: "The tree slave is young, and I'm afraid of disturbing my grandmother's cleanliness."

Mother Jia hurriedly said that she was not afraid.

As soon as the family card came, Lin Qiong was out of action.Lin Xiang continued: "Qiong'er and I have to study our homework again, and we only rest at the time of Haihai. In addition, my nephew is already nine years old, and Gu Yun's men and women are not at the same table when they are seven years old. I am afraid that it is not in accordance with the rules to meet with all the sisters on weekdays. Please invite Grandma finds a yard with a back door leading to the street for the nephews to live temporarily, so as not to disturb grandma's cleanliness."

Just as Jia's mother was about to speak, Lin Xiang added: "My nephew was entrusted by my father to often go out to visit old uncles and seniors in Beijing after coming to Beijing. It's not very good for young servants to come and go."

Mother Jia just remembered that the Lin family had committed a crime, and there is no result yet, but the Lin brothers were circling around in the capital, and they were afraid that they would not be able to figure it out if they involved themselves, so they had to say: "I wanted to tell Yu'er Heshu slaves live here with me, come on, I won’t tell you brothers and sisters to be separated.” Ask Mrs. Wang: “Which yard at home leads to the street?”

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to say: "The Pear Fragrance Courtyard on the northeast corner leads to the back street, but it's a bit far away." It's south of Jia Mu's yard, and the other is the farthest north. , but it was prepared for her to invite Xue's family to Beijing next year, and she didn't clean up the others, so it would be inappropriate to say that she is an aunt.

Mother Jia thought for a while and said, "That place is good, and the yard is big, so let's live first."

Chunjing and several maidservants of the Jia family took orders to go.

At this point, Jia's mother asked: "How many servants have you brought, is it enough?"

Lin Qu said: "There are servants in the old house in Beijing, and they are not in need of help." Once he arrived in Jia's mansion, he sent people to go to Lin's mansion in the capital.

Jia Mu said: "Normally, it's just that you have to pay close attention to those who are close to you. You are just two brothers. I don't want Yu'er to be short of people." Ask someone to call Parrot.

A servant girl came in, and Jia Mu said, "From now on, you follow Miss Lin and obey her orders." Parrot agreed and stood behind Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu thanked Jia Mu.Parrot was the one she changed her name to Zijuan in her previous life. She was the closest to her, like a sister, and she was with her when she died.I don't know where Zijuan will go after she dies?He only hoped that for his own sake, the Jia family could treat her better.

Jia's mother asked carefully: "If there is anything missing in the future, just ask your Lian's second sister-in-law for it, but please don't meet outsiders, we are a family."

The brothers and sisters of the Lin family responded quickly.

Thinking of footsteps outside, a servant girl came to report: "Baoyu is here." Jia Mu immediately smiled, with wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.

Lin Qiong sat up straight, determined to meet the famous Jia Baoyu.Sure enough, a seven or eight-year-old boy came in, wearing red clothes, wearing a name talisman, a long-life lock around his neck, and a piece of jade-colored precious jade. He had a round face, delicate features, and vivid eyes. Even Lin Qiong, who looked at people with prejudice, couldn't help admiring the boy who made people like him at first sight.

Jia Baoyu greeted Jiamu and Mrs. Wang, leaned into Jiamu's arms, and asked, "I heard that some cousins ​​from my aunt's family are coming, but how many are these?"

Mother Jia pointed out to him one by one with a smile, and said, "Exactly, this is your first cousin, this is your cousin, this is your second cousin, and this is your third cousin."

Several people saluted one by one, and when they finished, Jia Baoyu pointed to Lin Daiyu and said with a smile, "I've seen this sister before." It made everyone in the room laugh.

Jia Mu said: "Nonsense, your cousin has been in the south, how can you see her?"

Tanchun jokingly said, "Second brother, since you have met Sister Lin, do you know her name? If you can't tell, you are lying."

Jia Baoyu rolled her eyes, and was about to speak, when Lin Qiong hurriedly said, "My sister looks like my mother, and my mother must be like my grandmother, and my cousin may feel familiar. My sister's name is Shang Dai and Xia Yu, and my cousin remembers it well." gone."

Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Although I have never met my sister, but she looks good-natured, like an old friend reunited after a long time." He asked Lin Daiyu again.

Lin Daiyu said lightly: "My family's rule is that when Jiji was born, my father would pick the characters. Now, except for my elder brother, none of them have."

When Jia Baoyu heard Lin Daiyu say that his father chose characters, he dared not make mistakes, and asked, "Have you ever read?"

Lin Daiyu said: "I have recognized a few words with my wife, but I don't know much about it."

Jia Baoyu danced happily: "My sister said so, but I see that you have clear eyes and natural aura, and you must be very good at learning. It would be great for us to study and play together in the future!" I couldn't help looking forward to it.

Lin Daiyu smiled and turned her face away.Seeing Shu Nu looking at her eagerly, his heart softened, and he opened his hand towards him. Shu Nu moved his fat legs and ran all the way to Lin Daiyu's arms, muttering: "Sister, I don't want Shu Nu anymore..."

Lin Daiyu patted the tree slave on the back: "How dare you not want your ancestor, and you will not turn around when you look back."

Jia Baoyu continued to ask, "Has my sister ever had jade?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't bear to talk to him, but when asked, she had to say: "There is one in the name."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he laughed loudly: "I also have one in my name, which shows that this is fate."

Lin Qiong said with a smile: "There is also one in Bucai's name, and it is also fate with my cousin." Seeing that Jia Baoyu has been pestering Lin Daiyu, she hurriedly dragged him to talk.

After a while, when it was getting late, someone asked for a meal, and Jia Mu let her up.

Mrs. Xing and other daughter-in-laws only waited on the sidelines, while Jia's mother and grandchildren ate.

Jia's food is different from Weiyang's. There are a lot of big fish and meat, meat and fish. Lin Qu and Lin Qiong are okay. They like to eat meat on weekdays. Lin Daiyu and Shunu can't stand it. The slave frowned.

Mother Jia cherished her grandson, and when she saw that the tree slaves were not eating well, she asked why.Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Other people are picky, don't worry about it."

The tree slave pursed his lips and cried, "It's so salty and spicy."

Jia Mu said, "Drink some soup quickly."

Lin Xiang said with a smile: "Huaiyang cuisine is light, maybe it's because I just came to Beijing and didn't get used to it."

When Jia Mu heard it, she said, "Tomorrow, go and invite a cook of Huaiyang cuisine to come to the house."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely find a good one, so as not to make the tree slave starve and thin."

Lin Xiang hurriedly said: "Don't bother, just ask the servants to open a small kitchen in the courtyard."

After hearing this, Jia Mu said, "Yes, Lixiangyuan is far away. You little ones can't bear to go back and forth every day."

"Thank you grandpa for your compassion."
