Chapter 53: Into the Garden
Wang Xifeng thought for a while, and said with a smile: "There is a lot of noise in the mansion, so you are hiding here." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Daiyu said with a smile: "After all, I am a guest house, there are old ladies who are in pain, and uncles who are in pain, so I should live a quiet and leisurely life." ”
Wang Xifeng glanced at her and said, "Your belongings are all here, who in the whole mansion dares to treat you as a guest?" There is no one for you in Suzhou, so it is only right to wait for our daughter-in-law with peace of mind. ”
Daiyu smiled and didn't answer, took out a few pawn tickets from the box, and said: "This is the second sister's nurse who stole something to take it to, and the second sister didn't want to make a noise, for fear that the old lady would know and punish the nurse, so I asked for her." ”
Wang Xifeng took it in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but say, "It turned out to be her pawnshop." ”
Daiyu smiled and said, "No, I said I was going to get things back." The second sister refused, saying that she was exchanged for silver by the wet nurse, and she just wanted to redeem it quietly. Wang Xifeng folded the ticket a few times, put it in his purse, and said with a smile: "Give it to me and you don't have to worry about it." promised to redeem her, and saved her face. After all, it is also our Lian'er's sibling, how can she be bullied by minions and outsiders. ”
Daiyu smiled, sat down on the chair next to her, and listened to Wang Xifeng say, "There was a commotion last night, have you heard?" Daiyu guessed that something must have been found, so she said: "I heard that my uncle was sick early in the morning, could it be this thing?" ”
Wang Xifeng smiled and sighed: "It's not that I'm sick, it's that I've been injured." Saying that, the second lady of Xing Wang checked the accounts, and the minions bit out the experience of Lai Da Lai and the two housekeepers, and said: "Last night, the eldest master took people to Lai's family, who would think that Lai's family invited more than ten five big and three rough nursing homes." The people brought by the eldest lord were beaten by the nursing home of the Lai family, and even the eldest lord was beaten, and when he heard that he was injured in the head, he saw the imperial doctor at noon. The second master later took someone to Lai's house, and almost had a conflict with the people of the Terracotta Division, and now the Lai family is in prison. ”
"Since the eldest uncle is injured, we juniors should be ready to visit." Lin Daiyu said.
Wang Xifeng said: "No hurry. The old man's injury is being hidden from the old lady, and he only dares to say that it is the wind chill to the old lady. Isn't it easy for you to go to visit with great fanfare at this time? Just now I heard that the second master sent a message to rectify the minions in the whole house, but I am afraid that our family will still make trouble for a while. ”
Lin Daiyu glanced at Wang Xifeng with a smile, knowing that she must be a little weak in her heart at this time, so she came over to say these words deliberately, thought about it, and said unhurriedly: "Reasoning, it is time for the whole house to clean up." In the past, the uncles were not conspicuous in the court, even if there was something at home, they could hide it quietly. Now that the eldest sister has put on a yellow robe and been promoted to a concubine, the uncles have suddenly become relatives of the emperor, which has aroused the eyes of many people. In the future, if the eldest sister is pregnant, I don't know how many people are staring at this house, maybe digging three feet into the ground will find out your fault, so as to drag the eldest sister into the water. ”
Wang Xifeng heard Daiyu say these words calmly, and his heart suddenly became a little hairy. She stood up suddenly, was stunned for a long time, returned to her usual look, turned around and said to Daiyu with a smile: "What you said is also true, there is more than one concubine in our palace in the palace. There are many rights and wrongs in the future! He walked out.
Daiyu sent Wang Xifeng to the door, and when she saw the faint green shadow under her eyes, she couldn't help but say: "Your body should also be taken care of, if it is good or not, you often ask a doctor to take the pulse, and the affairs of the whole family depend on you." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xifeng's mouth, patted Daiyu's hand and said goodbye.
A few days later, I heard that Lai Dalai and Lai were sentenced to exile because they privately engraved the master's seal, and sent soldiers and horses under false names, and the female dependents were confiscated into the teaching workshop, and the Jia Mansion also began to rectify, except for Lin Zhixiao's family and Zhou Rui's family, as well as a few stewards who confessed and handed over the money happily, and most of the people in other positions were taken down. Wang Xifeng selected a few more people from the people below, and a large number of small servants in the outer courtyard were also replaced.
These things did not affect Daiyu, Baoyu, Sanchun and others. The day when Jia's mother asked someone to move into the garden also came, and Wang Xifeng sent a few powerful mothers-in-law over to help them move.
Zijuan, Snow Goose, and Qingwen all went out together to help put Daiyu's things into the cage and seal it, and watched the mothers-in-law move the cage into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and then pack up and settle down, so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. Look at Yingchun, cherish spring, explore spring and Baoyu are all like this. Only Xue Baochai didn't bring many things, but only ordered the two mothers-in-law to bring some personal things such as bedding and toiletries into the Wuyuan Garden, and Wang Xifeng sent some antique ornaments, which were also returned by her.
After moving, Daiyu and Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Li Kun began to move around again, and even Miaoyu sent posts to greet everywhere. The garden suddenly became more popular, and people could be seen everywhere, chattering. Daiyu thought that in her previous life, everyone had moved out of the garden, and everywhere was left in the cold, and there were even rumors of haunting, compared with the current scene, it was really different.
The weather gradually warmed up, and the big pear trees in the backyard of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion gradually bloomed with snow-white flowers. Daiyu cheered up, invited all the sisters to have a banquet in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, took the silver to the kitchen to buy a few tables of vegetarian food, and invited Miaoyu over.
The poetry club has added another member, Baoyu and Tanchun are very happy, the only regret is that Xiangyun was detained at his uncle's house and couldn't come over, and the mother-in-law sent to pick up people ran away, so he had to agree to pick up Xiangyun into the garden next month to play.
Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the people in the palace have also made a clear estimate of the property donated by Daiyu. At the behest of the queen and Yuan Chun, several large shops donated by Daiyu were taken over by people sent by the palace, and the annual proceeds were sent to the academy to subsidize poor students. The cash silver and some granges and small shops were sold for cash. The concubines in the palace jointly pooled a sum of money to use as a donation for the construction of the academy, and the queen's maiden family also donated a sum of money.
After the will, Daiyu received some rewards, including fifty taels of gold, one hundred taels of silver, ten royal brocades, a tassel and a phoenix hairpin with golden wings, a pair of jade paperweights, ten knives of paper to pay tribute to Xuelang, and ten new books. Daiyu thanked the reward, went back to the house and examined it carefully, picked out a few books for herself to enjoy slowly, added a knife of snow wave paper to each of the remaining books, and instructed the little girls to send them to each room.
