Prince of the Red Chamber and his father

"I heard that the soldiers in the garden were recruited by the old man. The elderly people don't take good care of them and make troubles all day long. I can't blame the old lady for not paying attention."

Shi Xiangyun was bored in his spare time, and while pulling the leaves in the flower pot, he turned his head and complained to Lin Daiyu.

After moving out of the garden, the other sisters are fine, but Shi Xiangyun feels very wronged. It will not be easy to see the second brother and sister Bao in the future.Especially the old lady didn't know what to think, but ordered her to huddle in Lin Daiyu's room, even though some rooms were empty.

"Young girl Yun is here again. It's your turn to discuss the matter of the elders?" Lin Daiyu frowned displeased. The eldest uncle and the second elder brother are not foolish. Now that the garden is full of armored soldiers, it seems that the rain is coming. Worrying.

The two stumbled a few words in a neutral manner, and the embroidered orange next to Yingchun came over, saying that there was a new dessert in the kitchen, and invited the girls to come over and try it.

Shi Xiangyun didn't want to go, but Jia Mu's yard was really stuffy, and there was no suitable place to go.Sister Bao is in the garden, it's not easy to go in and out, will she be interrogated for a long time if she doesn't see her concubine?There is nothing to chat about, and they are not allowed in.

There are only two or three places left to go to. Li Wan's place is said to have long needles and short needles. After Shi Xiangyun came to Rongguo Mansion to live permanently, no one urged her to do needlework. Moved up.

As for Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun doesn't like to go there either. The third girl has always been pretty like something, she loves to flatter people all day long, but she doesn't have a good look at herself, and she is also a fool.Besides, the third girl's room seemed busy, Shi Xiangyun felt that she was in the way after going there once.The rest is Xichun's house, Shi Xiangyun didn't think about it, even the master is often away, and he has to pour tea by himself when he goes to visit.

There is no good place to count and count, and I can't help but think of the benefits of being in the Shijia, at least I can often go out everywhere.

"Sister Yun going?" Lin Daiyu put on her coat, seeing Shi Xiangyun just sitting still.

"Naturally, didn't the second sister invite us all to go over, where are the third and fourth girls?" Shi Xiangyun didn't get entangled anymore, it would be nice if there were more people to talk to.

"The third girl said she was busy, so let us bring her a share. The fourth girl has already lived with our second girl, and now she is with the old man all day long, coaxing the eldest sister to be naughty. What's new in the kitchen? Desserts, the aunt and nephew must try first." Xiuju replied with a smile, the fourth girl is becoming more and more like a child now.

"Sister Lin, is the second sister getting engaged soon?" As the weather was getting colder and it was inconvenient to walk from the garden, the servants prepared a car, Shi Xiangyun opened the curtain of the car to have a look, and said to Lin Daiyu.

"I haven't heard of it, how did girl Yun know about it?" Lin Daiyu closed her eyes and meditated on the carriage.

"Sister Lin has always been well-informed, why haven't I heard about this? Now it's almost spread all over the manor, saying that the old man is not a clue, and everyone will take it to the mansion. No matter what, the second sister is also the daughter of the Hou family. If you talk to a poor scholar all day long, what kind of good people can you talk about in the future?" Shi Xiangyun sighed.

"Young girl Yun is too worried. I will tell Second Sister to go later and ask her to thank you." Lin Daiyu opened her eyes and teased her.

Sister Yun really regards herself as the future hostess of the Rongguo Mansion now, thinking about the problem so far, Lin Daiyu secretly smiled.I suddenly remembered the news that Zijuan heard from Siqi yesterday, saying that the eldest daughter of the Qi family is going to marry in, and the second brother's house is really going to be a mess.

"Second sister, isn't there a happy event in the mansion recently?" Shi Xiangyun was teased by Lin Daiyu once in the car, and asked her with a smile as soon as he arrived in the Yingchun room.

"Miss Yun heard about it? But my father can't take the lead in this matter, we have to wait for the old lady to be willing. Now there is a hurry, saying that we will pass the door before the end of the year, and we have nothing prepared here Well." Yingchun listened and said with a smile.

"So urgent? Is the second sister willing?" Shi Xiangyun saw that there were all big woolen clothes in the Yingchun room, and Siqi and Xiuju were busy cleaning them up. Could it be that these are dowry? The elder really loves his daughter, these good clothes Post them all.But people with similar backgrounds don't choose, but choose a poor family to settle down, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

"Sister Yun, are you joking? How can I be willing or not about this kind of thing, and it's not up to us to talk about it. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, and it might snow in a few days, my father ordered me to pack up these clothes. Sister Lin Take a look with Sister Yun, if you like it, choose a few." Yingchun instructed the maids to unfold one by one and let the sisters have a look.

Lin Daiyu knew that what they were talking about was not the same thing, and she didn't expose it. She just lowered her head and looked at the fabrics, thinking about asking her uncle what style to cut.

"Sister Lin, what are you thinking? You don't need snow geese to be busy this winter. Someone has already prepared it for you. Why don't you go to the house over there?" Yingchun whispered to Lin Daiyu while Shi Xiangyun was trying on clothes.

"Hey, what about Sister Lin, I want her to take a look to see if this dress fits me well." Shi Xiangyun brushed his hair back and looked left and right in front of the mirror.

"Xu Shi went to his father's room with the fourth younger sister to tease the elder sister. This one chosen by Yun girl is not bad!" Yingchun praised. The one Shi Xiangyun chose was a cloak for heavy snow days, but it had a waist. After putting it on, she looks like a bee waist and thin shoulders, a crane mantis shape, and an indescribably heroic spirit.

"I have to go through the door before the end of the year, why are you so urgent!" Shi Xiangyun put on a dress, thinking of the benefits of welcoming the spring, he felt a little bit reluctant.

"Who knows, I heard that Miss Qi is good at dancing with guns and has a very aggressive temper. There will be a lot of excitement in Brother Bao's house in the future. Fortunately, Miss Bao is capable, and she may be able to hold back .”

Yingchun was a little worried, that Miss Qi's grandfather was not easy to mess with, her father had been forced to frown so many times in the past few days, and his granddaughter was not an easy-going lamp.Brother Bao's room has always been troubled, and it can cause disturbances for no reason. Adding a girl with an unknown temperament, if there is a disturbance, another group of people will suffer.

"Second sister, what are you talking about? Why are you getting involved with second brother again?" Shi Xiangyun heard this, took off his clothes, and couldn't even untie his clothes in a hurry.

"Didn't Sister Yun know? As soon as she came in, she talked about happy events. Isn't this the only thing recently, and the Qi family is rushing to marry the girl into our house, so naturally the sooner the better." Yingchun was a little puzzled Look at Shi Xiangyun's situation, where did he think of it just now?

"My good sister, I don't know, please tell me what's going on in detail." Shi Xiangyun held Yingchun's hand and begged.

Yingchun was a little embarrassed, Shi Xiangyun's mind, the sisters have seen it clearly since Jin Qilin, thought Shi Xiangyun didn't care about it, and said it carelessly as soon as he entered the door, only now did he realize that what they said was not the same thing.Yingchun was a little embarrassed, wanted to find Lin Daiyu to rescue her, looked around, saw that she was not there, and remembered that she had just been sent out by herself.

Lin Daiyu was talking to Xueqing and Xuerui in the warm pavilion, and this time the two sisters came together, saying that seeing that winter was coming, Lin Ran sent them to send some heavy clothes for the girl to wear.

"I have them here too, but my second sister just let me choose, so it's hard for you to come and send them again." Lin Daiyu felt warm in her heart, but her uncle sent some clothes and food every now and then, knowing that she was a guest in Rongguo Mansion. Worry, this is also a thought.Seeing a bright red dress that Xueqing brought over, which her mother also wore when she was a child, she hurriedly took it and stroked it in her hands.

Xuerui played tricks on Xueqing, and there have been constant disputes in the small courtyard of the Lin family for the past few days, so we have to start with Pei Yi.

Mr. Pei was met by Manager Lin when he was wandering in Jing'an Temple by chance. Pei Yi was a scholar, and his parents had passed away a long time ago. This time, his sister and brother-in-law had prepared money for his trip to Beijing. The bag collapsed.Pei Yi lives in Jing'an Temple, and while studying poetry, she occasionally sells her own calligraphy and paintings, which happens to be met by Lin Ran.

Even the servants and maids of the Lin family are literate, not to mention that Lin Ran has accompanied Lin Ruhai to study since he was a child, and after meeting Pei Yi, he was very speculative.

He also thought of his wife, who only had the girl as the apple of his eye, and didn't expect her to marry into a noble family, but only wished to have a carefree life under the protection of the Rongguo Mansion.But after the members of the Lin family came to the capital, they also heard a lot of gossip. That Jia Baoyu spent all day in a pile of makeup, had no ambition to make progress, and had a lot of aunts and maids at a young age, definitely not a good match for a girl.

It's just that although the master didn't say anything clearly before he died, the marriage between the eldest girl and Jia Baoyu of the Rongguo Mansion is confirmed, and the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion will arrange it first when the younger children grow up.

The old lady didn't dare to take the liberty to ask for an interview, but the Eldest Master and the Second Master Lian had more contact with each other. Lin Ran put in a lot of effort to find out the inside and outside of the Rongguo Mansion, and finally broke out in a cold sweat .The current hole in the Rongguo Mansion was filled by Aunt Bao's natal family. What if the eldest girl's property was handed over to the old lady?

Leaving aside the matter of property, if the girl can live well in Jia's family, it's fine for the money to rot in Rongguo Mansion.The key is to look at the behavior of the second master Bao, and a room full of beautiful maids. Even if the old lady decides to get married smoothly, I'm afraid it may not be able to live a good life. Besides, there is a golden unicorn from the historian, who is still from the old lady's natal family. relatives, my daughter may not have a chance of winning.

Lin Ran planned for a long time, but finally gave up on such a marriage. Later, he saw that Pei Yi's personality and appearance were both excellent, and he would be a good couple to talk about poetry and painting with the girl in the future, so he thought about it.But the rest of the people have different opinions. Although they are headed by Lin Ran, they have their own ideas.Some people think that no matter how many beauties there are in Jia Baoyu's house, they are just concubines and maidservants, and it doesn't matter. Didn't the master still have a few concubines at the beginning? When the eldest girl becomes Bao's second grandmother in the future, if she is happy, she will keep them It's amused, if you're not happy, just send it out.After all, the Rongguo Mansion is closely related and has the same family status, so it is perfect to marry the eldest girl. Even if Pei Yi is full of talents, he is only a white body.

No matter how much everyone fights, it's all for Lin Daiyu's good, that's why there is a scene in front of Jing'an Temple later, where Xueqing and Xuerui came to sniff out the news.

"The young master Pei that the girl met in Jing'an Temple last time was familiar with Guanshi Lin. Later, she inquired about it in the chess club. I heard that he came to the Grand Master's house yesterday. Didn't it make a joke?" Xue Qing was pinched by Xue Rui After grabbing a hand, he hurriedly said.

"Mr. Pei?" Lin Daiyu recalled the poems sent by her uncle.

"That's right. I heard from Steward Lin that Mr. Pei fell in love with a lady from an official family. It's a pity that he was poor and had no fame since he was a child. I'm afraid they might look down on him."

Xuerui is straightforward, seeing Xueqing and Lin Daiyu gossip a few times, and they are still in the fog, so she simply said directly.Now the members of the Lin family only disagree on this, if the girl doesn't dislike it, since the family has enough money anyway, the young couple can always live a good life.

This is too obvious, Lin Daiyu can't even pretend to be stupid.It's not easy to reprimand Xuerui, she has always had this temperament since she was a child, when everyone wanted something and dared not speak up, they would push her out, and she developed the courageous temperament that she has now.

"It doesn't matter if the family is poor. There are heroes and generals throughout the ages. Before they became famous, they sold their calligraphy on the street and ruined temples to save their lives. If this Mr. Pei is really good, then the young lady of the family will be unlucky."

Lin Daiyu was a little ashamed after she said it, and couldn't help but feel sad for a while, her parents died and no one advocated, some things must be said by herself.

Those poems were indeed extraordinary, she memorized them in her heart after reading them, but she didn't know what kind of temperament that man had.For a while, I felt that I was thinking too much. The second sister was a quack in her heart, and the elder uncle probably didn't follow her. Now that she loves Mr. Pei so much, she may not have other thoughts.

After thinking about it, I felt that I was a little possessed. Xu Shi and my second elder brother have been getting farther and farther recently, and I always feel that no matter where it is, it is better than Yihongyuan!

Seeing what their daughter said, Xueqing and Xuerui lowered their heads and straightened the clothes they brought over. They couldn't help but feel a little sour. If the master and wife were alive, the uncle would naturally choose from thousands of choices, so there is no use for the girl. Worry about yourself.

I was about to say a few words of persuasion, but I didn't know where to start.Knowing that she was too reckless, Xuerui secretly pinched Xueqing again, hoping that she would be better at consoling others and could comfort the girl with a word or two.

"Did Sister Lin go back?" The master and servant were silent for a while, and then saw Shi Xiangyun lifted the curtain, his eyes were red like rabbits.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Daiyu knew that it was because of Miss Qi. Everyone has their own suffering.
