Lin Daiyu pondered for a while and said, "That's it, bring the clothes, I'll go and see you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zijuan was setting the meal and said, "The girl doesn't have to be busy first, it's not too late to go over after eating." ”

Daiyu said with a smile: "You don't know that kind of people, and you have to chew the root of your tongue, saying that I am arrogant and treat them poorly." “

How could Zijuan not know the tongues of those daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in Jiafu, seeing Daiyu say this, while putting a bowl of five-grain porridge and a few side dishes, he said with a smile: "It's time to dry them." If you go out in a hurry at this time, when they see it, they will inevitably deceive you into being young and carry out the big shelf of the Rong Mansion to open the river. If they obey them in everything, that's fine. If the slightest thing does not satisfy them, I don't know how many rumors will be made! ”

Lin Daiyu smiled and shook her head: "You have a lot of eyes." She knew that what Zijuan said was also true, and while taking the chopsticks, she looked at the side dishes: only two or three small plates, containing a plate of pickled bamboo shoots, a plate of white siad, and a bowl of steamed eggs. After eating unhurriedly, Xue Yan brought tea for gargling and a hot handkerchief for Lin Daiyu to wash.

Zijuan put a homely plain big wool dress on Daiyu, opened the jewelry box, and was choosing, only to hear Xue Yan say on the side: "I think Sister Zijuan is right, the girls are just too good in nature, so they tolerate their arrangement." Since the girl came, how much idleness has the girl suffered? Those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law coveted a few copper plates of the Xue family one by one, and arranged the rights and wrongs of the girls behind their backs in order to please the other side. According to me, the girl said that she was sick, and it was not necessary to see them. ”

Lin Daiyu put down the veil and scolded with a smile: "Just your little hoof, curse me to be sick." I don't see it today, I don't see it tomorrow, do I pretend to be sick in the house every day? For the sake of these people, everyone can't go out for a few months, and then let people know, it's your girl who is afraid of them! ”

Zijuan smiled and said, "Exactly." Besides, early in the morning, a post was sent, and when I saw it, it turned out to be a post from Panxiang Temple, saying that it was a few clean rooms left early, ready for the girl to go to incense after the New Year. ”

As soon as Xue Yan heard this, her face improved, and she said with a smile: "Speaking of Panxiang Temple, although the plum blossom tea they make is not as good as the tea at our house, it is better than the quantity, and there are a few jars." I thought about it a few days ago and prepared to make a plum blossom pillow for the girl. The pillowcases are all done, and I am annoying that the master of the inkstone is embroidering a pattern on the top. Tomorrow at the latest, the girl will be able to replace the old tea pillow. ”

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's hard for you to be clever." Besides, after the year, the plum blossoms of Panxiang Temple are also going to bloom, ten miles of fragrant snow sea, which is famous far and near, wouldn't it be a pity not to take a look? Wait for the next time, I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey. ”

While speaking, Zijuan chose jewelry, but a few jade flowers, which ordinary people also have, are adorned with elegant and lovely black hair. On Daiyu's skirt, there was a hollow mutton fat jade gold ball phoenix pendant. The jade pendant is a hollow cage made of the best mutton fat, which contains a small ball wrapped in gold wire, and there is a crisp collision sound between actions. This was originally what Lin Ruhai gave to Jia Min in the palace when he was promoted to patrol the salt imperial history, because it was too consumable, only the queen and the most favored concubines were allowed to wear it in the entire palace, and even the princesses at the level of the county king did not have them. Now it is naturally left to Lin Daiyu.

Talking and laughing, everything is dressed up. Xue Yan handed over the hand stove, and Daiyu took it in her hand. Zijuan opened the curtain, and the snow goose followed, and went to the small hall outside to meet the people from Jiafu.

Zijuan lifted the curtain, Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and saw that among the several women sitting, there was a familiar daughter-in-law, who was the housekeeper of the outer courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law, and the one who had picked her up with the car and boat to Kyoto. The other mother-in-law and women were dressed very fancy, and their eyebrows and eyes were very unfamiliar, they didn't look like people from Rongguo's mansion, she thought about it for a while, and guessed that it must be from the East Mansion.

Lin Zhixiao's family was also stunned for a moment when they saw Lin Daiyu enter the door, and then walked forward with a smile on their faces and saluted, saying: "The old lady and the old lady in the house are all worried about the girl, and Baoyu is also thinking about it all day long. The old man specially sent me to take a walk to see how the girl lived in her hometown, but are you still used to it? ”

Daiyu avoided the courtesy, and said: "Annoying uncle to remember, although there are no sisters and sisters to play with here, it is a little lonely, but during the period of heavy filial piety, it should be like this, and I also feel calm." ”

Lin Zhixiao's family said: "I look at the girl, it looks different than before, she looks better, and she thinks that she is the water and soil of Suzhou." ”

Zijuan answered beside her: "What my aunt said is, look at me, follow the girl to Suzhou, and her waist has grown. While speaking, he invited Lin Zhixiao's family and other daughters-in-law and sons-in-law to return to their seats.

Lin Zhixiao's family sat back with a smile and said, "It's because your girl loves you, so you let you grow a circle of meat, if you change someone, you will be thin like a monkey." ”

While talking, the little girl Pei'er and Qing'er came over with tea, removed the tea cup on the tea table, put a new cup on it, and poured the newly brewed tea. Daiyu opened her mouth and asked, "I don't know what these aunts are called, their faces are tight, and I haven't seen them at my grandfather's house." ”

The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law saw that Lin Daiyu was dressed plainly, and although the jade on her hair was a good head, it was small, and people with a few dollars could afford it, so they didn't look down on it. They came here, unlike Lin Zhixiao's family, because they were instructed by Jia Zhen to borrow some of the finest brocade from the Lin family's silk shop on credit to make tents, curtains, table mats, blankets, etc., and also to use some ordinary solid color brocade to decorate the trees in the garden.

Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly said: "As soon as I saw the girl, I was so happy that I forgot to introduce it. As he spoke, he stood up and pointed to the two young daughters-in-law and introduced: "This is the daughter-in-law and daughter of the second housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion. Then he pointed to the old man and said, "This is Lai's second housekeeper's family, and the other two are the daughters-in-law of the close branch of the clan." ”

These people saluted Lin Daiyu together. Daiyu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and replied with a half-salute and said, "Although I have lived in my grandmother's house for a few years, I have never been to Dongfu to play, so I don't recognize it. ”

The daughter-in-law of the Lai Er family said with a smile: "Don't say that the girl doesn't recognize us, even if we walk around the mansions all year round, we have only heard of a fairy-like granddaughter living in front of the old lady." Although I have seen it once or twice from afar, I can't recognize it. If it weren't for the fact that Zhen Ye was ordered to come to Suzhou to buy materials this time, he happened to meet Sister-in-law Lin and her party, and I didn't know that the largest silk shop in Suzhou Mansion 'Splendid Fang' turned out to be the property of the master's relatives. ”

Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea slowly, put the tea cup back again, and said with a smile: "'Jinxiufang' is just a small shop, where is it a serious shop, and Brother Zhen of Laodong Mansion sees it in his eyes." As he spoke, he asked them what they were doing and how much material they had bought.

The mother-in-law of the second family thought that Lin Daiyu had heard Jia Zhen's name, and she would definitely weigh one or two, and then exert some pressure, and the matter of borrowing on credit would definitely be willing, so she snatched her daughter-in-law's words and said with a smile: "Miss Lin doesn't know? The eldest lady of the Rong Mansion is also the girl's cousin, and now she is a virtuous concubine. At present, the saint is sympathetic to the harem, so that each family can take the mother home to reunite according to the system of the provincial family, which is also a grace that has never been seen since ancient times. ”
