The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

After more than a month, the filial piety that the Lin family brothers and sisters kept for their deceased mother was over, and the four brothers and sisters solemnly performed the ritual of exorcism, and from then on all kinds of taboos were removed.The scholarly family of the Lin family is not like the Jia family who put gold and jade in the room and put them on their heads. The maids in the family are not allowed to dress more fancy than the master.Although Lin Daiyu made some brightly colored clothes, she didn't like to show off, she only liked plain and elegant ones. She was used to just wearing a bun to make it loose, and she didn't want to wear more jewelry on her head. Lin Qu, Lin Qiong and Shunu are men, they don't wear gold and red like Jia Baoyu.The young lady of the Jia family was snobbish, and she still said something behind her back, but this was because the Jia family was not strict, so how could Lin Daiyu say that she was not a relative?So just ignore it.

After three of Xue Baochai's mother and son came to Jia's mansion, everyone in Jia's family saw that Xue Baochai was born well, easy-going and punctual, and Lin Daiyu could only compare the two girls of the right age in the family, so they compared the two from time to time.Mrs. Wang is in charge of the house, and the servants naturally dare not say that the Xue family is not good, so they only say that the Lin family is petty and strict. Miss Lin was born with no luck, and she told the truth whether she saw her or not. It seems that Lin Daiyu is really not as good as Xue Baochai. .

If you just talk about it in the mansion, you can barely bear it. One time, the boys on the outer door were joking and discussing together. When it came to the girls in the mansion, they laughed and laughed wantonly regardless of their own girls and relatives. I heard it, and reported back to Lin Xiang and Lin Qiong.Lin Qiong is a very petty person, and she can't tolerate anyone talking about Lin Daiyu. When she dropped her pen, Lin Qu was furious. Together, the two of them made a statement to Mother Jia when everyone was present, and the names of the little servants who chewed their tongues The appearance said it clearly, and begged Jia's mansion to control the servants, otherwise he said that he couldn't stay anymore and wanted to go back to Yangzhou.

Mother Jia coaxed her for a while, and hurriedly said that she would be severely punished, and said behind her back that Mrs. Wang, the housekeeper, had talked with Wang Xifeng.Mrs. Wang was miserable, she sold the gossiping servant, and she was ordered not to gossip behind her back, so Jia's house made a big fuss.

Lin Qiong was still not reconciled, those servants had already been sold, so she only put the blame on Mrs. Wang, and asked someone to secretly inquire about the profiteers in Beijing, and made tricks to let Mrs. Wang release the money. None of them were returned.Mrs. Wang, who was in pain, fell ill and complained of a headache. Even the monthly payment of the servants in the family was delayed for several days.

Lin Daiyu was kept in the dark about this matter and didn't know it from beginning to end.

The rouge shop opened by Lin Qiong is next to the Jinyi Pavilion, and it is called "Fulongji". It not only uses the body lotion and body cream made from the essential oils squeezed from flowers and flowers in the four seasons, but also makes it that he doesn't even know how to make. Facial mask.As well as makeup powder, rouge, lip balm, eye shadow, there are dozens of colors of lip balm, and even the wife who is most familiar with makeup can't see it all.

There are also manicures for manicures. The ancients only knew that the nails dyed with impatiens are beautiful, but this is the only one. In addition, there are all kinds of nail covers, which are a bit cumbersome.Lin Qiong asked Aunt Zhang to develop the manicure oil, which has dozens of colors and patterns, as well as those mixed with gold powder, silver powder, pearl powder, etc., whatever you want to paint, it is so beautiful. The threshold of Longji is about to be broken.

Throughout the 36th year of Kangxi, the number of rich and noble families who went out to gardens and outings in Beijing suddenly doubled. When they met, they would ask each other if they had used the new item from Fulongji, and praised each other for the beautiful nail designs. They were free at home. Bored, in free time I can only play with my face and hands to please my husband.

Lin Daiyu doesn't wear make-up or dye her nails. She just drinks goat's milk and puts on some moisturizing ointment every day, so she's used to being quiet.Later, she listened to the gossip of Jia's mother-in-law and maidservants a few times, and ignored it, but she didn't go out of Lixiangyuan too much. Originally, Sanchun and Xue Baochai asked her to go there once every two or three times, but later she said that she was sick. Those who are sick, either go out to meet friends, or go to Jia's mansion once in ten times, and the small door leading to Jia's mansion from Lixiangyuan is locked all day long.The servant girl of Jia's mansion said that Miss Lin's body was very weak, and she seemed to be too weak to survive. She also said that she was so arrogant that even the old lady would not be able to invite her.

Lin Daiyu didn't care about them, she sometimes read books at home, embroidered clothes, or enlightened the tree slaves, and often went out to Gu's family to look for Gu Taiqing or was invited to the palace to play with Wen Ke, so she got to know Guo Luoluo's little Gege The one named Ling Shuang is already engaged to Yinhu, the eighth elder brother of the Holy Majesty.

In the 37th year of Kangxi, Princess Wen Ke invited Lin Daiyu to enter the palace in mid-February. Lin Daiyu changed into a banner man's attire, combed her hair twice, and went with the eunuch and maid after tidying up.

The eighth princess's biological mother, Concubine Zhang Jiashu, did not have a title, but because the eighth princess was favored, both mother and daughter could live in Fuchen Hall.Concubine Zhang Jiashu caught a cold a while ago, coughed a little, and kept drinking medicine, Wen Ke took Lin Daiyu to Concubine Zhang Jiashu to say hello, and then went back to Wen Ke's residence.

Lin Daiyu went into Wen Ke's room and took a look. It turned out that Ling Shuang was there too, and greeted her with a smile.Ling Shuang nodded slightly with a faint expression on her face.

Wen Ke said with a smile: "Just now I told me that her nervous hands were shaking, but now she has calmed down. Why is her face so tense? She looks like a nightshade."

Ling Shuang smiled and twisted Wen Ke's face: "Don't laugh at me."

Wen Ke hurriedly stood still and saluted her: "Sister-in-law Ba, I was wrong." Ling Shuang's face blushed immediately.

Lin Daiyu just smiled lightly, watching Wen Ke's needlework in her hand.She doesn't know Ling Shuang very well, it's just what she said on the surface, Ling Shuang seems to look down on her being weak and like a Han woman, and she doesn't like Ling Shuang looking down on Han people, she can't speak poetry, she can't do needlework, it's just because of Princess Wen Ke , not as obvious as Ling Shuang.

Wen Ke and Ling Shuang quarreled for a while, then ran over and snatched the tape from Lin Daiyu's hand, and said, "I'm not good at embroidery, and it's like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong's gate in front of you. You must be secretly laughing at me. look!"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just for fun, so why would I laugh at you for it?"

Ling Shuang said: "The world is full of people on horseback. Even women are used to drawing bows and archery. Who can make these soft things and cry all day? Delicate and weak, I don't think Ruoliu Fufeng is so beautiful , so ugly."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, glanced at Ling Shuang, and fell silent.Ling Shuang herself was tall and tall, with a delicate appearance and domineering beauty. She first entered the court since she was a child, and was favored by Kangxi. She was an extremely proud and self-willed woman.Ling Shuang likes the eighth elder brother, but a few months ago, the eighth elder brother said that although Lin Daiyu is young, she has the beauty of a weak willow supporting the wind in the picture of a lady. Ling Shuang accidentally heard it, and would often stab her.

Wen Ke hurriedly said a few words to smooth things over, Lin Daiyu smiled on her face, not wanting to care about it, the two of them turned the conversation elsewhere.

Ling Shuang said: "Wen Ke, my bones have been itchy recently, let's go to the racetrack and run two laps, my muscles and bones will be loose."

Wen Ke was about to say yes, but when he saw Lin Daiyu, he changed his words and said, "Let's change it to another day, tomorrow is Yu'er's birthday, I want to bother her for a day today, and let her go to celebrate her birthday with her family tomorrow, everyone is happy, sit and talk Is it not good?"

Before Lin Daiyu could speak, Ling Shuang pulled her to go out: "Since it's my birthday, it should be more exciting, let's go." Wen Ke hurriedly followed.

Ling Shuang was old and strong, so she almost dragged Lin Daiyu out the door without touching her feet and ran straight to the racetrack.Lin Daiyu couldn't get away from being dragged away, and she didn't want to get angry with Ling Shuang, so she kept yelling to slow down, but Ling Shuang didn't listen, and when she arrived at the racetrack, she was exhausted and out of breath.

Ling Shuang folded her arms and smiled coldly: "Your body is really weak, it's not enough for someone to slap you."

Lin Daiyu was annoyed, and her face was slightly cold: "I am a woman, why bother to be so rough? I have my elder brother and younger brother to help me."

Ling Shuang's face turned blue with anger, Lin Daiyu's words hit her sore spot, not only was she born tall and tall, her parents were dead, she had no brothers to protect her, even though she lived in her grandfather's house, she was not loved.Her family background has always been Ling Shuang's sore foot. Everyone knows that she is a noble daughter of the clan, but in fact, everyone knows how much water has been mixed in.
