Chapter 24: On the Way
said that Jia Yucun took Daiyu to leave Yangzhou by boat and went to the capital.
After a few days of sailing, although Daiyu was not sick, she stayed in the cabin all day long, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed. In addition, she is a delicate and lingering person, and now she is leaving home to go to her grandfather's house, although she is a close relative, but for her, she has never seen a stranger, so she can't help but feel uneasy, thinking about her relatives at home for a while, and thinking of her deceased mother for a while, she can't help but cry again.
……
Yuou came in with a bowl of red dates and white fungus lotus seed soup, and said: "Girl, this is what I let the snow geese watch boiling, and the household items used are all brought by home, and even the water is beaten on the shore when the boat is docked, to ensure that it is clean, you can taste it." ”
Although Daiyu knew that Yuou was such a person before, she basically dealt with Yuzhu in Lin Jin's room, so she didn't have a deep impression of Yuou, let alone know about it.
Since the rain gull came to her side, she found that although she was quiet, she was thoughtful and considerate, and her temper was refreshing and atmospheric, and the most rare thing was that she was not afraid to see things, and she was not afraid to talk to strangers, and she was quick to think and organized. Since the long trip, her living arrangements have been clear and clear, which has made her very worry-free.
Although it is not as good as the original few big girls in her room for the time being, but the rain gull has only been by her side for a few days, and within two days, she was taken out of the door, but the things around her, the rain gull quickly got started, after the big girl who was originally beside her left, the grandmother Wang Mama, who was in charge of the affairs of her room, involuntarily retreated.
Seeing that Daiyu finished drinking the soup and reached out to get the book, Yuou hurriedly stopped: "Girl, reading a book hurts your eyes when you are driving and taking a boat." The uncle said that if the girl feels bored, it is better to draw the scenery along the way, which she finds interesting, and turn back to the lord and the uncle to see. ”
Daiyu felt that Yuou's proposal was good, but when she saw the narrow table in the cabin, she said with some embarrassment: "This table is relatively small, and it is not convenient to draw, and my danqing is general, I am afraid it will not look like a drawing." ”
Yuou smiled: "The girl is stupid, it doesn't matter if you draw well or not, the master and the master don't see the painting." Besides, even if the painting is not good, will the master and the master still laugh at the girl? As for the fact that the painting case can't be opened, the uncle has already thought of it. Girl, wait a minute, I'll come when I go. ”
The rain gull, who turned to leave the cabin, returned after a while with a few servant women holding things. A servant woman standing behind her stepped forward and spread the woolen felt in her arms on the ground, while the others stepped forward and placed a dry of painting utensils on the felt carpet.
After arranging, the servants withdrew, and Yuou smiled: "The conditions are simple, so the girl can make do with it, and draw on the felt carpet with the cabin as a tabletop." ”
In this case, there is no room for Daiyu to choose. She smiled and nodded, "If you have something to do, go and get busy, you don't have to wait by my side." ”
The gulls agreed, retreated, and went to the back cabin to look for the snow geese who were watching the stove.
When he got to the back, he saw the snow geese, and the rain gull hurriedly took the stove off the stove and said, "Why are you stunned here?" The water has been boiled a few times, and if it is boiled again, it will be dry. ”
Xue Yan, who came back to her senses, hurriedly apologized, and then complained very dissatisfied: "I was thinking about the sisters in the girl's room just now. The wife was not worried about the girl, and when she left, she called us who were waiting for the girl to the bedside and told her again and again. At that time, everyone promised to do well, but as a result, when the girl entered Beijing, I was the only one who followed. ”
Yuou smiled: "Although you are not very old, you have been in the girl's room for several years, and you have experienced some things, why is it that the girl is not sensible and sensible?"
You don't want to think about it, when your wife passed away, your sisters in the girl's room were almost at the age of letting them out, because of your wife's filial piety, they were delayed for three years. Out of filial piety, if you don't let them out, you will become an old girl who can't get married, do you raise them? ”
Xue Yan argued: "I'm not talking about the sisters, but the ones who are in the second class with me. We are similar, even if we go to Beijing for a few years, there is no hindrance. As a result, no one but me would follow. The girls are so sexual, they all depend on them. ”
Yuou sighed, "Everyone has selfishness, the capital and Yangzhou are separated by more than 2,000 miles, and when I enter Beijing, I will leave my mother."
Although it is said that the girl just went to live at her grandmother's house in the capital, but looking at the attitude over there, no one can say whether the Jia family will find a family affair for the girl in the capital?
Once the girl marries in the capital, then those of us who came to Beijing with the girl may not be able to return to Yangzhou, and from now on with the family, not everyone is willing to be like you.
In fact, it's not just you who is the only girl in the girl's room, but even the mothers in the room, don't you see that only the girl's grandmother, Mama Wang, is coming. ”
Snow Goose was shocked, "Huh? Didn't you say that the girl only stayed in the capital for a year or two and then went home, how did she become a girl and marry in the capital? Will I be able to go back to Yangzhou and see my family? ”
Yuou glanced at her with disgust, and whispered, "What are you yelling about? All I said was that it was possible. Immediately reacted, "You didn't think that far at all, so you little confused didn't make excuses for not coming?" ”
Xue Yan also reacted, and retorted fiercely: "I'm not like them." Since I was selected to serve the girl, only the girl didn't want me, how could I pick the girl's share. As long as the girl is willing to ask me, I will follow her wherever she goes. ”
Yuou smiled and changed the subject: "Don't mention them, I'll talk to you about something serious."
Before I came to the girl's side, the uncle told me that when I arrived at Jia's house, because I was not familiar with the place, the girl's grandmother would definitely give the girl around me a girl.
The reason why the old lady over there gave the girl a maid was not because we didn't serve her well, but because we were outsiders and were not familiar with the daily life and rules of the house, as well as all kinds of cumbersome personnel.
Even if we could learn everything, it would take time, and our identities were destined not to fit fully into the circle of the house.
The maid must be born in the family, and has served the old lady for many years, she is a person in that circle, and she is familiar with all the affairs of the house, and when she comes to the girl, it is much more convenient to deal with all parts of the house than us, which can not only bring convenience to the girl's life in the house, but also help the girl adapt to the life of leaving the hometown as soon as possible, which is the old lady's loving heart for the girl.
Therefore, we don't have to fight with her, but we can't let her take our place, and let her take care of everything in the girl's room. ”
Xue Yan's eyes widened, and she said puzzledly: "Sister Yuou, I understand every word you say, but how can I not understand it after connecting it?" Since she doesn't fight with her, it is obvious that she is in charge of the girl's room, so why don't you let her have the final say? ”
Yuou gave her a look of "why are you so stupid", and thought of Mama Wang, who was easily seized by her, and sighed with emotion: "No wonder Uncle is not worried about you and Mama Wang, so he sent me."
Under normal circumstances, before Mama Wang was not raised, she was in charge of the affairs of the girl's room, but with Mama Wang's honest temperament, coupled with the fact that she was in Jiafu, a place where people and land were born, I am afraid that after the maid pointed out by the old lady over there came to the girl, she would not be long before she handed over the power.
As for you, there has always been a big girl in charge of it before, and she belongs to the one who does things according to orders, so she can't do it, and I'm afraid you won't be aware of this. ”
In the history without Lin Jin, after Daiyu arrived at Jia's house, the development of events was what Yuou said, Zijuan crossed Mama Wang and Snow Goose, and became the big girl in Daiyu's room.
When reading the book, Lin Jin had no feelings for Mama Wang and Snow Goose, and her feelings for Zijuan changed from the initial appreciation to the later criticism.
Cao Gong gave Zijuan a word "Hui", which seemed to have a positive attitude, but he made good use of the Spring and Autumn Period's brushwork, and when describing Baoyu, he used the means of explicit depreciation and praise, so Lin Jin felt that Cao Gong's attitude towards Zijuan was suspicious.
As a maid, when she served Daiyu, if she wasn't sincere, she wouldn't have been trusted by Daiyu, and she would treat her better than what she brought from the Lin family, which was personally certified by Zijuan.
Is she really qualified? What was the real motivation for Zijuan to try jade? Is it purely to help Daiyu test Baoyu's sincerity?
Not.
She and Baoyu said very clearly: I was in a hurry, so I came to try you. You know that I am not from the Lin family, but I gave me to Miss Lin, but he is very good with me, and for a while, the two of us are inseparable. But now my heart is troubled, and if he is to go, I will go with him. I am a family here, if I don't go, I will live up to our long-term affection; If he goes, he abandons his own house. Therefore I am puzzled, and I have told you this lie.
Just for her selfishness of not leaving her family, in the name of thinking about Daiyu, regardless of Daiyu's reputation, she spread out Eryu's feelings and put them on the bright side, pushing Daiyu to the edge of the cliff, leaving her no way out.
Since Lin Jin appeared in this world, she would never allow this to happen again, so she explained to the rain gull.
Yuou told the snow goose: "You have to remember that the maid referred to by the girl's grandmother is the Jia family, the girl's surname is Lin, and we and the girl are one family." No matter how good the Jia family and the Lin family are, they are also two.
Therefore, no matter what, we can't let the first person next to the girl take the position.
Since she is familiar with the affairs of Jiafu, she will be responsible for the external communication and entertainment, but we have the final say on the internal affairs such as the money and keys in the girl's room. ”
