The Rose of the Red Chamber

Tanchun looked at Baoyu beside him with surprise, not to mention the surprise in his heart.

She had thought that Wang Xifeng's classic quotations had been fooled away, and Baoyu would not even be able to do the smashing of jade, but she didn't expect that Baoyu's mention of words still happened.

Can't this guy not show off that he knows two more words?

Damn, I feel tired and don't love anymore.

Why is it so difficult for her to give the goddess a normal welcome ceremony?

Don't ask her why she didn't say that Baoyu deliberately ruined Sister Lin's reputation, because she has been this guy's brother and sister for more than six years, and she deeply understands that this bastard doesn't even know what "being in the boudoir" is.

The translation of this kind of words in modern vernacular is-'Sister, are you married yet?If you don't get married, think about brother. '

An embarrassing person like Baoyu would not know, and the original Daiyu would not have the opportunity to know.But Tanchun felt that she could be sure that Baoyu still didn't know that Baoyu's actions were all random.But what about Daiyu?Did Daiyu know?

The foster nuns in the palace are very powerful, maybe they have taught them.Of course, for families who can invite a nanny in the palace, under normal circumstances, their girls will not encounter such a situation.

To be honest, apart from being tired, Tanchun also felt ashamed.

Really.

Fortunately, everyone knows about Tanchun's lustful nature, and seeing her holding Daiyu's hand all the time, she doesn't take it seriously.You must know that when Tanchun saw Qingwen, he made an exception and corrected her problem of not needing human sex for several days.

Although it was only a few days, it also made people know how much this girl loves beauty.

At this time, Tanchun quickly wrote on Daiyu's hand with his fingers, and asked Baoyu with a smile, "Second brother, why did you think of asking this? We don't usually use it at home, and it's useless if we know it."

"Why is it useless? I read "Tong Kao of Ancient and Modern Characters" the day before yesterday, and there is a wonderful word 'frown'. It said in the book: 'There is a stone named Dai in the West, which can replace the ink of thrush.' Sister Lin's eyebrows are frowned , wouldn’t it be beautiful to take this word?”

"Frown? Does that word mean frowning? Second brother, don't you choose the word for auspiciousness, why did you choose such a word for Sister Lin today? Is it possible that you hope that Sister Lin will always be unhappy, every day?" Frowning? You’re still an older brother, why would you think so? Sigh, but no matter how you treat the sisters, as long as you are filial to the old lady, the master and the wife are fine. You have to read the filial piety a few times Well, I heard a while ago that you have disgraced Nanny Li in your room again.

After all, she milked you for a while, there is no credit and hard work.You grew up eating her milk, so you can't put her face down just because of a few girls. "

Seeing that Baoyu still wanted to talk, Tanchun saw that Jia Mu was also attracted by this passage, and continued, "Second brother, what kind of book is this "Tong Kao of Ancient and Modern Characters" you just mentioned?" ? I have never heard of it in the past, could it be that you made it up?"

Baoyu didn't notice Tanchun's malicious intentions, so he could still smile casually: "Except for the "Four Books", there are too many fabricated ones. Sister Lin, can you say this word well?"

However, the topic of Tanchun did not change successfully, and Baoyu was still very keen on writing for Daiyu.

Daiyu took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and then replied in a cold voice, "If Cousin Bao likes it, he can keep it for himself. Daiyu's father already has an explanation."

"But this word is so suitable for Sister Lin, where is Uncle Lin?"

"Oh, second brother, what are you in a hurry for? Isn't it just a word? Uncle will enter Beijing in a month or two. Wouldn't it be better for you to discuss with him? You can tell Sister Lin about this now, and she can do it again." What the hell? Uncle Lin is the most knowledgeable person. Compare the characters you choose with the ones that Uncle Lin gave to Sister Lin. Whichever one of you chooses is better, and Sister Lin will use whichever one you choose. Wouldn’t it be better?

Okay, okay, don't say sister Lin's words, what about mine?What about the second sister and younger sister Yun?The second brother won't favor one another, right?Usually, you don't have the habit of starting words with everyone you meet. If you don't say one, two, three today, I won't obey you. "

If you want to write for Daiyu, then go to Lin Ruhai to discuss it, and see if Lin Ruhai will slap you on the wall as a calligraphy and painting.

Baoyu wanted to say something more, but Tanchun didn't give him a chance, and directly diverted the topic.

They are different from Daiyu, they and Baoyu are biological brothers and sisters, and they are both sisters of the same family. Although it is against etiquette for brothers of the same generation, it is a harmless thing.

They are still young now, even if Baoyu got up, it is impossible for them to use the words given by Baoyu when they go out in the future.

Moreover, Yingchun belongs to the big house.Even if her name was given by a brother, it is impossible for her to be a cousin.And with Mrs. Xing's temperament, this is also impossible to become a reality.

As for her, Baoyu was the first character and Jia Tanchun was the last word. What does it have to do with her Jiangling?

There is also Shi Xiangyun, who he can't afford to love.I can't tell her what the consequences will be.Anyway, she knew that the old lady would be very happy when she mentioned Shi Xiangyun at this time.She was sure that it would not be long before the old lady would send someone to bring Shi Xiangyun to live there.

In the end, after all, Baoyu was willing to fetch them for them.Just like now, Baoyu listened to Tanchun's words, looked back at the three sisters at home, and thought about Shi Xiangyun, who had just returned home recently, and went to worry about it alone.

He only thought of these two words when he saw Sister Lin. Now, Sister Lin has to go back and discuss with Uncle Lin before deciding on the words. Although he is a little disappointed, if there are so many sisters in the family, if they all start to use words, he will not be able to use them tonight. It is estimated that I have to read the book well.

As for the matter of asking Yu, it is estimated that Baoyu can't think of it at this moment.

Tanchun shook Daiyu's hand quietly, and Daiyu shook back gently, Tanchun immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Why is she not a man?

Alas, I really envy the person who becomes a queen, who can have three thousand beauties.

You ask her why she doesn't envy the emperor, it's because the emperor is not as good as the empress who stays in the harem for twelve hours a day.

......

"...You guys are just here, not familiar with the mansion. This is the parrot by my side, and I'm here for you. Don't be polite if there is something missing, something short, or someone who is naughty and disobedient. Grandmother decides for you."

Jia's mother held Daiyu and her brother again and said something. Seeing Lin Ping yawning, she knew that they had just landed today and must be very sleepy, so she called a second-class girl beside her to come forward. , gave such an order.

Daiyu got up to thank her, and seeing that it was getting late, she annoyed Jiamu, Tanchun and others, and then got up and went back to her small courtyard with Lin Ping.

For Daiyu, this day was really exhausting.Not to mention the ups and downs along the way, but after entering the mansion, Daiyu pondered for a long time about everyone's attitude towards their siblings.

The eldest uncle shied away from seeing their siblings on the grounds that he was sad to see them. At the second uncle's place, the second aunt dismissed their siblings by saying that she was not at home.

The two uncles of the grandmother's family, she and her younger brother have not seen any of them today, and they don't know what these two uncles mean.

If their siblings are not welcome, why would they send a boat south to pick them up.

But if it is welcome, the way of welcome is too weird.

Are all people in the capital like this?

The gentle but alienated second sister, the passionate third sister, the naive and ignorant fourth sister, Lan Geer who has no sense of existence, and some Baoyu who don't know the so-called...

The enthusiasm of the eldest aunt Mo Ming, the obvious dislike of the second aunt, and the attitude of the grandmother...

Pretending to be deaf and dumb, watching the fire from the other side, and muddy...

Is this the maternal ancestral home that my mother had been thinking about before she was alive?

Does the mother know what happened to her children at the grandfather's house?

How many embarrassments and embarrassments have there been today? Will my mother be sad when she finds out?

... Fortunately, I can go back to my own home in two months.

So that night, Daiyu suffered from insomnia.

Daiyu was originally a caring little girl, and the messy things she had just entered Rongguo Mansion on the first day were enough for her to ponder.But fortunately, she was raised by a nanny and had a naughty brother by her side, so Daiyu didn't have any feelings of hatred.It's just that I like to think too much about things, but I can't change it.

The second aunt is indifferent to her siblings, but treats sister Zhen very politely, so what is she planning?

What can Sister Zhen do to make Second Aunt care?

Family background... The Zhen family is just a small family. Although Mr. has great talents, he is just a juren.In the eyes of the world or in the eyes of the second aunt, it should be insignificant.

Character... On the first day, I only had a face-to-face meeting, and I can know what kind of temperament Sister Zhen is.

Daiyu thought about it, so only her appearance remained?

But what does Sister Zhen's appearance have to do with Second Aunt?

Daiyu turned over and pulled up the brocade quilt that had slipped onto her shoulders, it's really cold in the capital.

If it was in the south of them, where would such a thick quilt be used, and some kind of charcoal basin would be needed, even if the tangerine peel was added, it would smell like smoke and fire.

"Girl, it's almost dawn, girl, go to bed quickly."

Xueyan was sleeping on the outside of Daiyu. When she heard Daiyu turning over, she quickly pushed down Daiyu's quilt. The girl didn't sleep that night, and she didn't dare to sleep.

"What time is it?"

"It's two o'clock."

Daiyu thought for a while, and then said, "It's already this hour. You stayed with me all night and you didn't sleep. You should stay in the room to watch the house today. Now that we have arrived in the capital, we have settled down. Turn around Discuss with the others and take turns to rest."

When she was at home, her father always asked her and her younger brother Mao Shichu to get up and study.

I have to study until Chenshi, and then go to my mother's yard to invite Ann to have breakfast.After eating breakfast, my father will go to the front yamen for business.

My father once said that he was lucky to be outside Beijing, because the officials in Beijing, all the officials who participated in the early court had to get up at Yinshi and take care of everything and wait outside the palace gate.

Daiyu knew that her father was a caring child, plus he was in Yangzhou, and he was a high-ranking official, so there was no one whom he had to meet early in the morning, so she always finished her breakfast at Chenshi, and then took her time. He walked from the backyard to the front desk to deal with official business.

The lives of the eunuchs that Daiyu used to meet in Yangzhou were not like this.This time when she entered the capital, Daiyu thought that her grandfather's family was also a noble family, and the two uncles should also get up at this time to go to the morning court, so she prepared to get up.Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get up, he was stopped by the snow geese sleeping outside.

"Miss, don't get up in a hurry. The girl didn't sleep all night. I will sneak back to be lazy today. Get up early tomorrow to study. Your body is important. Before going to bed last night, the servant girl asked the old lady for the parrot girl. The old lady's place is normal. Greetings are all at Chenshi. The uncle doesn’t need to go to say hello at ordinary times. The second uncle only goes there at night when it’s convenient for the second uncle. It’s free in the morning. When I left the old lady’s place yesterday, the third girl said Come to pick up the girl this morning and go to the old lady's courtyard to say hello together."

"Ah?" Daiyu was a little dumbfounded when she heard Xueyan's words.

When Xueyan heard the rules, she also looked like Daiyu.Didn't it mean that this is a big family in the capital?How did this rule become like this?

Not to mention why the grand master who inherited the noble set up another gate to live in the garden on the east side, but the second master who did not inherit the noble dominates the Rongxi hall.Not to mention that there are so many maids and daughters-in-law who don't use meals in this mansion, and the wives and grandmas in the mansion have to wait on the bureau. Just talking about the rules of greetings makes people feel weird everywhere in this mansion.

...I never thought that their wife was an aunt who was born in such a family.

"...Let's get up, Zuo Buter won't be able to sleep anymore." After a pause, he said again, "Tell people to move more lightly, and don't disturb Brother Ping and Sister Zhen."

"The servant knows." Alas, her hot blanket.

Xueyan nodded, then sat up and got out of bed, put a coat on herself, and carried Daiyu's clothes over.

Tie up the bed curtain first, and then walk to the door.In the outer room separated by a screen, there are other girls who are watching the night.Wake them up gently and let them fetch water.

After Daiyu finished washing, she went lightly to the study in the main room.

When Daiyu had just finished writing the two large characters, Yinglian and Lin Ping also came over.

In ancient times, the book case was also big, and one end of the book case was against the wall, and the other three sides were vacant, so the three of them each held one side and practiced calligraphy for a while.

After practicing for about half an hour, Daiyu stopped writing, walked to the bookshelf beside her, took a book, and then went to the room with the kang to the west to read without mentioning it.

Afterwards, Yinglian didn't practice for long, so she left like Daiyu.

When only Lin Ping was left in the room, Lin Ping pursed his lips, bowed his head and started writing again.

This is the habit of their family. Those who practice calligraphy first take a book and read it.

After Daiyu got up, other people in the small courtyard of the Lin family also got up one after another.

There is a little girl on duty in the tea room, and the hot water has never been stopped overnight.Since the arrival of the two nuns, the siblings have eaten bird's nest or lung-nourishing soup every morning on an empty stomach.Later, Yinglian also joined in. Because of her physical condition, she seldom eats bird's nest and other things, but the nourishing soup every morning has never been missed.

Daiyu and Yinglian's soup was used in the Nuan Pavilion, while Lin Ping's was used in the study.

Although Lin Ping was young, Lin Ruhai started to educate him from an early age.There was also Zhen Shiyin next to him. The two old men had assigned a lot of homework when they set off to the capital, and they were waiting to check on his progress when they arrived in the capital.

The three people in the Lin family have been walking forward according to the pace of life at home.But Tanchun got a piece of news about why Zhou Rui's family was so enthusiastic.

Hearing the conjecture of the master and servant, Tanchun almost got down on the ground. "Is this news accurate?"

Chanel dug out a piece of the balm from the glove and put it on the back of Tanchun's hand, "I heard from the Li family woman at the back door... The second wife seems to be planning to elevate Miss Zhen and suppress Miss Lin.

Girl, today is the ninth day of the lunar new year, should I go out? "The ninth day of every month is the day they agreed to go to Jiang's house regularly.

Tanchun was surprised, "Why don't you go out? If you don't go out, people will think that something happened to us inside. Besides, didn't I do some sewing for you to go back later?" As a sister, she naturally needs to do some more sewing.

Furthermore, she also made a piece of needlework for each of Zhao Xiuning, Jiang Yuan, four adults and three children as a New Year's gift.If I don't send it out now, the weather will get colder next month, and the road will be more difficult to walk. I will definitely receive this item in the first month.

"Oh, I see." Chanel nodded, she thought that the second wife was not feeling well recently, and she wanted to calm down again, so as not to sweep into the tail of any typhoon.However, there is one thing that Chanel can't understand, "Since the girl knows that the second wife doesn't like Miss Lin, why does she still get so close to Miss Lin? The girl is usually the most impatient to get up early, and today she deliberately woke up earlier than usual Two quarters of an hour, aren't you afraid that the second wife will be angry?"

The fact that the second wife doesn't like the Lin family has already been known to everyone through the second wife's spokesperson, Zhou Rui's family.

What's more, it's a rare day for their girls to wake up normally and stay in bed. It's unbelievable that they woke up two quarters of an hour earlier today.

Tanchun nodded, "I'm afraid, but I'm happy when she gets angry." It's Chinese New Year, so I have to give myself some benefits.

Chanel: "..." Afraid you will still mess with her?

Sure enough, it was their girl, the way and things she was happy were different from others.

"Girl, Zhou Rui's family said that if this girl from the Zhen family really has a special background, the second wife might have to act first."

Tanchun was puzzled, "Why does she want to strike first?" Should it be chopped up with a knife?

Chanel tilted her head and said in a puzzled way, "It seems that she wants to be a concubine for Second Master Bao? But if Miss Zhen is not Miss Zhen, she has a long history, why didn't she marry Second Master Bao as his regular wife? "Could it be that this girl from Zhen's family is also like theirs, a civet cat who came out in exchange for the prince?The girl from their family must be the civet cat, but will the girl from the Zhen family be the prince in the play?

Tanchun snorted coldly, and shrugged his shoulders in a very unladylike manner, "Why can't it be, it's just that greed is not enough."

This is going to heaven, right?

If that Zhen Yinglian is really the second Qin Keqing, she is really courageous enough to even think of turning her noble daughter into a concubine.Then marry a woman with a better status or more value and come back as a regular wife.

whimsical.

Tanchun couldn't figure it out, then Zhen Yinglian was Zhen Shiyin's daughter, and it was all fake.How did Mrs. Wang's master and servant see that she was not his own?

Just because the girl looks better and more refined, and she can still control the servants of the Lin family?

"The servant also thinks this is wishful thinking." Chanel shook the things on her hands, her face approved.

Tanchun laughed when he heard that, "Come on, tell me, why is the second wife wishful thinking? That's right, I will reward you with these two golden melon seeds."

Chanel looked at the golden melon seeds in Tanchun's hand, with an expression that belonged to her, and said seriously, "Just like the second master Bao, there is no Gouzi brother in our Zhuangzi who can read and be capable. Any girl marrying him would be in vain. There is nothing left to eat and nothing to do. I heard that she is less courageous than the fourth girl.

Also, I heard that Lang Ge'er will give birth prematurely because... Didn't the former girl still say that she married a girl and married a tall girl?As far as the character and appearance of the girl from the Zhen family is concerned, even entering the palace as a concubine makes her..."

Many people have eyes. This mansion belongs to the Elder Master. When the old lady goes, the Second Master's family will definitely be kicked out.

Among other things, with the temperament of the eldest wife, it is estimated that she would not support people like the second room.

Counting it, the second house seems to have as many masters as the first house, so how much money will it cost.

When he was kicked out of Rongguo Mansion, the old second master's ten-year-old official position was not as high as Mrs. Lin's.

Mrs. Lin Gu is still a fourth-rank official.

Chanel thought about the eldest son and grandson of the second room, and then the second son, and heard that the second master Bao was not good at studying. If he couldn't get a job in the future, it is estimated that the property would not be divided much.

I heard that the private houses of the second wife and the second master were stolen, so when the old lady is gone, how much property can the elder master and the eldest wife give to the second house?

Certainly not many.

If the poor property is divided into senior and younger, and the dowry money of their girl is deducted, it is estimated that there will not be a few words left.

Wait, the girls of their family have been staying here for a long time. Could it be that after the civet cat is replaced by the prince, they still want to steal another dowry money?

This, this, this heart is too dark.

Girl, what are you doing?

Chanel was embarrassed to read it.

......

Chanel clattered from Baoyu herself to the unpredictability of ghosts and ghosts, and then to the situation in the mansion and the possible separation of families in the future, which made Tanchun really amused.

What is this little girl thinking about in her small head?But it is quite transparent.

Perhaps most of the Jia family saw it that way.

After Baoyu's jade was demonized.

Before Yuanchun conferred on the concubine to visit her relatives.

After casually handing those two golden melon seeds to Chanel, Tanchun stopped her.In the early morning, what kind of jokes were told, two and a half intestines were empty, and after laughing, I became even hungrier.

Once Tanchun packed up, he took people out of the room.Turning around, he saw that Baoyu's room next door had just fetched water, but he remembered that when he watched Dream of Red Mansions, he said that Daiyu and Xiangyun were sharing the same room, and Baoyu broke in before he got up.He also said that Xiangyun's arms fell outside or something.

The Jia family's mouths have always been unguarded, and in addition to this ancient times, let alone seeing meat, even if they didn't see meat, breaking into the bedroom of a girl's house may cause unnecessary gossip.

The daughter of the Jia family was raised in the boudoir and no one came to propose marriage. Apart from the men and style of the Jia family, Jia Baoyu also accounted for a large part of the reason.

The poems of the sisters, the names and dispositions of the sisters, even the girls around them were not spared.

Thinking about it carefully, it is also a kind of unspeakable sadness and misfortune to be regarded by Jia Baoyu.

Baoyu didn't know how much his sisters in the family would be ridiculed by the world after this willful behavior of his, but she knew clearly how harsh this era is to women.

So... when she is self-willed and acts outrageously, she can only be Jia Tanchun.

Tanchun felt that it was necessary for her to let the Lin family guard the door, otherwise her boudoir's reputation would be easily damaged by a bad one.

Because the topic of thinking was too heavy, the smile on Tanchun's face disappeared. Many servants saw Tanchun walking towards the small courtyard of Lin's family with a serious face. Before Mrs. Wang arrived at Rongxi Hall The wind was heard.

Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the three girls have not been dazzled by the beauty, and the serious business entrusted to her has not been left behind.

However, this problem of love of beauty really needs to be changed, who knows if this girl will one day break through and become a beauty.

Mrs. Wang will not talk about it here, only that Baoyu got up late, and she wanted to see Sister Lin earlier, but the girls in the house used to be neat, but today they are very procrastinating.The anxious Baoyu just walked around in the room.

"Second Master, this is for you to fasten the buttons. You keep moving, when will you be able to fasten them?"

Xiren gently pulled Baoyu's arm, not letting him move.

Glancing at Baoyu's red dress, Xiren continued, "Second Lord won't be going out today, so I'd better strangle that Erlong Xizhu for wiping his forehead." Only that wiping forehead is worthy of this red body.

"It's all good, all is good, hurry up." Baoyu urged impatiently.

Bihen and Xiren, who came in from the outside, looked at each other, they all saw the third girl leave from the window just now.It is estimated that the son has already arrived at the small courtyard of the Lin family.

Calculating the time, their master will definitely not be able to catch up with the first wave.

Tanchun went all the way to the small courtyard of the Lin family. The two gatekeepers at the door belonged to Jia's family. When they saw Tanchun coming, they didn't stop her and let them go.

Tanchun wondered if Baoyu would have come in so easily.

After all, there is no servant from any family to stop the master of his own family.

As soon as Tanchun entered the yard, a girl told her where Yinglian and the Lin family were.

Tanchun went all the way to the main room, and as soon as they entered the main room, Daiyu and Yinglian lifted the curtain and came out of the warm pavilion.

"The two sisters woke up very early. I came to pick up my sister and Brother Ping to greet the old lady."

Yinglian and Daiyu saw Tanchun salute shallowly, and they also followed suit.

After a salute, the three of them stood up and laughed together.

Daiyu sent someone to call Lin Ping, and then asked someone to bring the cloak she was wearing outside. Yinglian stood there wondering if she wanted to go with her, and Daiyu couldn't make up her mind either.

According to etiquette, they should indeed go together.But the rules of this grandparent's house are different from others, and she couldn't decide whether to let Yinglian go with her.

Daiyu looked at Tanchun, and since she entered the mansion yesterday, she has given her advice, so she should be able to give some advice.

Tanchun saw Daiyu looking at her, she traced left and right, Daiyu also understood, but it was not easy to send people away at this time, so she stretched out her hand, held Tanchun's hand, and asked everyone to wait here her for a moment.

The two entered the Nuan Pavilion hand in hand, and Daiyu whispered her scruples.

Tanchun was delighted to hear it.

The author has something to say: Baoyu: Uncle Lin, is this the word I gave to Sister Lin?what do you think?

Lin Ruhai glanced at Baoyu several times, shook his head and said, "I don't think you're doing well."

Baoyu: Uncle, look at my handwriting, it's really good.

Lin Ruhai glanced at Baoyu again, but still firmly refused, "I told you, I really don't like you."

Baoyu: Uncle, I said words.

Lin Ruhai became impatient: I'm talking about you.

Baoyu wanted to call his uncle again, but Lin Ruhai slapped him against the wall with a big slap.

Since you think you are a character, hang it on the wall.

Hmph, shameless apprentice.

Ah, Liu Xianglian in the distance sneezed inexplicably.
