I knew that she was tender-skinned, and she didn't say anything funny, and said bluntly: "This matter is the same thing as Baoyu's matter." He's already starting to make plans, and you should be planning for your future. The first is to take care of the body. Looking at the two of you usually get along, it's not that I cursed you, if you have anything, he has to be a monk, and don't think about any happiness and happiness in the rest of his life. If you take care of yourself, you will take care of him, and you will both of you in the future. Crazy thinking that you can't do that sex anymore. Usual diet, tonics, you want to say this, what do you want?"

She hung her head and whispered, "What Sister Feng said is that I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

I said, "Second, it's for the future." You also know that although Baoyu is studying hard now, being able to read and taking exams does not mean that he will live. He had to worry about everything, especially money. Both of you are loose-tempered, and you don't know the price of firewood and rice. I know, you have lived a good life since you were a child, clothes to reach out for food, how much does a dish cost, how many processes a piece of clothing has to go through, how many materials, how much wages, you don't have to worry about these before, but if you live like this in the future, it won't work. The clothes must not be as good as they are now, and the food must not be as elaborate and luxurious as it is now, have you ever thought about this?"

Daiyu bit her lip, her teeth were crystal white and thin, like pearls, like shellfish, really cute.

"It's just...... I think about it occasionally, but it's just that it's not as deep and thorough as Sister Feng said. ”

"So, you have to learn all of this from now on. Seven things to open the door, everything requires money. Don't say that the thing is full of copper smell, and the four words of talent and character can't be eaten. You have to learn to live a real life. Learn to cook some food, make clothes, manage household chores, and assign servants...... These are all learnings. It's not that I'm going to say you, Bao Yatou is much better than you, if the two of you want to compare poetry, maybe up and down, but compared to life, Bao Yatou is much stronger than you. In fact, you also understand the idea, but you haven't practiced it yourself. This, in the days when Baoyu is preparing for the exam, you can study it well. ”

"However, the housekeeper is not so studious......"

I smiled and said, "There's a ready-made opportunity right now." I complained of illness, the wives have to be busy dealing with those things in the Xining Palace, and the house is temporarily managed by the Bao Yatou, although it is inconvenient for you to interfere, but you can watch how they manage it, what is right and what is not right. How to manage the servants, how to assign work, how to be lazy and how to deal with them. I sighed...... "But forget about this, it is estimated that the number they report is much more false, sometimes it can be half or more than half." ”

Daiyu nodded silently.

I smiled, I guess the smile might be a little treacherous: "Also, it's something that the girl's family must prepare." ”

"What?" Daiyu asked.

"Dowry. ”

She blushed, and I hurriedly said, "Don't think I'm telling a lie. A woman can't live without a dowry and private money, although it won't be said that her in-laws look down on her or anything like that, but you must know that dowry can indeed increase a woman's identity and status. Moreover, you will have to run a family in the future, subsidize your family, and make a living, and you will not be able to do it empty-handed. Well, you don't have to do it yourself, as long as the old lady nods and approves the matter between you and Baoyu, I will go to ask the old lady for a good dowry for you, which can make you not too embarrassed about life in the future. ”

I saw that she just bowed her head and didn't speak, wrung her handkerchief vigorously, and persuaded her: "Although the saying is good, good men don't eat family meals, and good women don't wear wedding clothes." But at the beginning, you still have to rely on these to gain a foothold, if you can earn more family business in the future, are you afraid that you will not be able to talk about it? Don't lose your quality of life in the future for the sake of temporary face...... "The word quality is obviously inappropriate, I changed it to say: "Poor couples mourn everything, even if I don't say it, the old lady will definitely feel sorry for the two of you, and will not make you suffer." ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, if the old lady doesn't give anything else, I will definitely ask the old lady to reward me with a treasure." With this treasure, even if there is nothing else, there is no fear. ”

I wondered, does Jia Mu have any treasures that turn stones into gold?

Daiyu couldn't suppress her laughter: "I begged the old lady to reward Sister Feng for me and let me take it away with me!

It's good, it's really worthy of Sister Lin, who is shy, and she can refute me while being shy. We laughed again when the door creaked, the curtain was lifted, and Baoyu returned. His face wasn't too good, and he nodded at me. Because Daiyu had already occupied the position on the side of the kang, he sat on the chair, but pulled the chair forward.

I looked at such a lovely pair of young people, thinking that they would have to go through countless winds, swords, frosts, and swords in the future, and learn to grow up...... I felt sad in my heart. Maybe it's really like Daiyu said, let Mother Jia give me to them as a necessity to protect them for the rest of their lives, so that it is the most appropriate and safe, right?

But do I really have the strength to protect them? I don't even have the strength to protect myself in this place. Patriarchal rights, husbands' rights, in-laws...... Countless, heavy pressures can strangle people alive.

No, I must leave!

Ah, what a difficult task. It's not difficult to leave, the question is how to leave. There is too much difference between being evicted penniless and retiring with a large amount of private money. At the same time, there are ...... Sister Qiao, I have to take her away with me, and I must not leave him to Jia Lian, an unscrupulous thing.

If I want to be driven away by myself, the difficulty is average. If you go with a private house, the difficulty is relatively high. If you still want to take Sister Qiao, that is the highest level. In this case, I also want to help Baoyu Daiyu, and I also want to help Yingchun and explore spring...... That's basically an impossible task.

I was still smiling on my face, and I was already complaining in my heart.

Okay, although I have a backup now...... Miss Li Wenxiu. It's really not good, I can ask her to help and steal Sister Qiao from Jiafu for me. It seemed like a simple task for her. But the difficulty is not stealing, but how to arrange the future life after stealing, as well as Sister Qiao's own wishes......

It's complicated. Okay, anyway, it's not urgent now, I can discuss this issue with Li Wenxiu slowly, and I still have time to brainwash and educate Sister Qiao. Tell her that there is no future in Jiafu, at the latest in the past two years, and now the most favored person in the palace seems to be Concubine Liu. The battle between the women of the harem is not smokeless, but it is extremely cruel and thrilling. Those people generally don't leave the opponent with room to turn over, or they are killed all at once. Once Concubine Jia is completely defeated, the end will be a dead end. Then the Jia family ...... Defeat is certain, everything will happen, the difference is only the length of time.

Thinking about it like this, it really made people unable to lie down on the bed, and after sending Bao Dai and the others away, I put on my clothes and sat up, carefully calculating Sister Feng's private room.

When Sister Feng first got married, there were a lot of dowries. The girl and her family don't talk about it, it's not property, and the clothes don't talk about it, it's not worth it after the season. Needless to say, furniture can't be moved at all. And then there's ...... The Grange is not big, it was only a symbolic escort at that time, that is, the Grange where I want to send Wang'er to. And then there's some jewelry. Anyway, it's worth a little money. It's really depressing to think about it, in addition to the preservation of the value of the jewelry, which is easy to carry and sell, the other ...... It's all negligible. There is also the private money that Sister Feng's housekeeper has saved in the past few years, counting it, this money has to buy a house and then buy land, and be a happy landlord for the rest of her life, which is stable enough.

All right...... I now understand why Sister Feng is so obsessed with money. After all, this housekeeper is not in charge of his own home. There is no son, the mother-in-law does not wait to see him, and the husband is unreliable, so he has to desperately grab the money. Who, it seems, there is a woman who has said that there is hope that there is a lot of love, and if there is not, then a lot of money is also very good. Xiang Daiyu has a very abundant love, so she doesn't care about money. Sister Feng can't, she has nothing but money.

But even with this money, it is difficult for her to keep.

So, I had to find a way to hide and transfer my possessions earlier, and find another way for myself. Of course, at the same time, I also have to bring the gift Sister Qiao who bought big and gave away small. After all, no matter what the reason made me Sister Feng, since I have taken her identity, I have the obligation to be responsible for her daughter.

I pondered again, Mrs. Wang said that she would be busy with the affairs of the Xining Palace, and the affairs of the palace would be handed over to Tanchun, whether it was necessary to do so or a way to shirk...... It's worth scrutinizing. Because Mrs. Wang really doesn't have the talent and skills of a housekeeper, if she comes to be a housekeeper, she must not be busy, the more she manages, the busier she is. So she used the excuse of socializing not to participate in the housekeeper's affairs...... Mmmm, it's quite possible that it is.

Ping'er did her best to accompany me, and wanted to invite the doctor to come, but I said no, I just didn't have the strength to rest. But I asked her to bring Sister Qiao to me. The little girl was wearing a red jacket, wearing a small pink velvet flower on her head, her white skin was thin and tender, her eyes were like black grapes, and the child's eyes were black and white, which was particularly innocent. Although this child was not born to me, I had a sense of pride and self-satisfaction. Such a cute little girl, who can not like her.

I pointed to the thousand-character text and taught her to read. Sister Qiao sat in my arms, very well-behaved and smart, I taught one and she read one. In line with the principle of not pulling out the seedlings to help grow, I stopped after teaching twenty words, and then let Sister Qiao review and consolidate it by herself, I can't do poetry, but I am quite good at memorizing poems, starting from the simplest goose goose goose song to the song. This poem is quite vivid, lively and cheerful, and it is most suitable for children to learn.

Sister Qiao is very energetic in learning, this child usually has no entertainment, the other girls in Jiafu are too different in age from her, she has no playmates of the same age, and the girl and her do not have much common language. This child has been lonely for a long time, and Sister Feng has no time to accompany her to teach her. Now that the mother and daughter can be so close to each other, the child is very happy, I was worried that she would be tired of school, but it turned out that I was worried in vain, not only was she not bored at all, but also asked me to continue to teach.

It seems that there is a mother and a daughter, Sister Qiao learns things quickly, and the smart one makes me speak. Lunch was brought over and we ate together. As for Jia Lian, he still didn't come out in the East House, and the meal was also put in the East House to eat. Sister Qiao is very discerning, and she didn't ask to eat with her father, which made me very happy. After eating, our mother and daughter also took a nap together. This kind of life is really beautiful, in contrast, Sister Feng's previous self-explanatory and tiring life is really ...... There are two lifestyle choices in front of me, and I am not stupid, of course I have to choose this one.
