Chapter 23: Selfishness

said that Jia Yucun took Daiyu to leave Yangzhou by boat and went to the capital. Boat trip for a few days, although Daiyu did not get sick, but stayed in the cabin all day, inevitably a little depressed, but also a little seasick, plus, she is a delicate and lingering person, now leave home, go to the grandfather's house, although there is a close relative, but for her, after all, she has never seen a stranger, therefore, I can't help but feel uneasy, thinking about my relatives at home for a while, thinking of my deceased mother for a while, I can't help crying again.

Yuou took a bowl of red dates and white fungus lotus seed soup, put it on the table, and said: "Girl, this is what I let the snow geese watch boiling, and the household items used are all brought by home, 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 there was such a person as Yuou before, but because she basically dealt with the Yuzhu in Lin Jin's room, she didn't have a deep impression of Yuou, so she didn't care too much when Lin Jin gave Yuou to her.

Since the rain gull came to her side, she found that the rain gull is quiet and low-key, thoughtful and considerate, with a good temper, the most rare thing is not afraid of things, and the living people are not scared, quick thinking, organized, since the long journey, her life and living arrangements are clear, clear, so that she is very worry-free.

Although it can't be said to be stronger than the original big girls in her room, but Yuou has only been with her for a few days, and before she is completely familiar, she was immediately taken out of the door, but Yuou quickly got started, and the grandmother Wang Mama, who was originally 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 and has nothing to do, it is better to draw the scenery along the way and show it to the lord and uncle. ”

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 that it will not be like a drawing." ”

Yuou smiled: "In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you draw well or not, girl, the master and the master don't see the painting." Besides, even if it's not good, will the lord and uncle still laugh at you?

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. One of the servants standing behind her stepped forward and spread the woolen felt in her arms on the ground, while the others stepped forward and placed the smug utensils they used for painting on the felt carpet.

After arranging, the servants withdrew, and Yuou said, "The conditions are simple, so the girl will make do with it, sit on the felt carpet, and use the cabin as a desktop to paint." ”

In this case, there is no room for Daiyu to choose. She smiled and nodded, and said to Yuou: "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.

After seeing the snow geese, Yuou hurriedly took the stove off the stove and said angrily: "What are you doing here? The water has been boiled a few times, and if it is boiled again, it will be dry. ”

Xue Yan pouted and complained very dissatisfiedly, "I'm thinking about the sisters in the girl's room. When my wife left, she didn't worry about the girl, and repeatedly told us who served the girl. 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, "You have a baby face and look small, but I remember that you seem to be older than a girl." In that case, why don't you have a sensible girl and be sensible?

You don't want to think about it, when your wife died, your sisters in the girl's room were about to be released at the age of letting go, because of your wife's filial piety, they were delayed for three years. If you don't let them out again, you will become an old girl who can't get married, so you can raise them? ”

Xue Yan argued: "I'm not talking about a few sisters, but about the people who are in the second class with me. They were about the same age as me, and even if they went to Beijing for a few years, they didn't hinder anything, but as a result, none of them were willing to come with me except me, and the girls were kind enough to follow them. ”

Yuou sighed when he heard this, "Everyone has selfish intentions, the capital and Yangzhou are more than 2,000 miles away, and this time I entered Beijing, I was far away from my mother."

Although it is said that the girl just went to live at her grandmother's house outside the capital, but looking at the attitude over there, no one can say whether the Jia family will find a family 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 the girl in the girl's room who is the only one who comes, even the mothers in the room, don't you see that only the girl's grandmother, Mama Wang, is here. ”

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? Then I can't go back to Yangzhou, can I still see my family? ”

Yuou glanced at her with disgust and said, "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 look like everyone else, making excuses not to come?" ”

Xue Yan also reacted, and retorted fiercely: "I'm not like them." Since I was chosen to serve the girl, only the girl didn't want me, and I didn't have the share of picking the girl. As long as the girl is willing to want me, I will follow the girl for the rest of my life, no matter where the girl marries. ”

Yuou smiled, didn't say anything, and changed the subject: "Speaking of Shangjing, I have something to say to you." ”

"Before I came to the girl's side, the uncle told me about the girl's entry into Beijing, and said that when I arrived in Jiafu, because I was not familiar with the place, the girl's grandmother would definitely point a girl to the girl's side.

The reason why the old lady over there sent someone to the girl was not because we didn't serve well, but because we were outsiders, and we were not familiar with the daily life and rules of the house, as well as all kinds of cumbersomeness, even if we learned everything, it would take time, and our identity was destined not to fully integrate into the circle of the house.

But the maid pointed out by the old lady must be born in the family, and she is a person in that circle, and she is familiar with all the affairs of the house, which is convenient for the girl to act, 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 love 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 why can't I 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? ”

"No wonder Uncle didn't worry about you and Mama Wang, so he sent me." Yuou sighed: "Originally, before Grandma Ma was not honored, it was normal to be in charge of the affairs of the girl's room, but with Mama Wang's honest temperament, plus in the place where people and land are born in Jiafu, I am afraid that after the old lady over there sends someone to the girl, it will not take long for her to teach the power out." As for you, there has always been a big girl in charge of it before, and I'm afraid I won't be aware of this, and at that time, let outsiders call the shots in the girl's room, that's a certainty.

It stands to reason that since the girl's grandmother gave the girl a person, then this person is the girl's, and it stands to reason that from now on, wherever the girl goes, she will follow. But as I told you, people have selfish intentions. Although she arrived at the girl, her family was still all in the Jia family. So, who knows if she will do anything to hurt the girl for her selfishness. Therefore, no matter what, we can't let the first person next to the girl take the position.

Since she is familiar with the girls and ladies in Jiafu, she will be responsible for the external communication, but we have the final say on the internal affairs such as the money and keys in the girl's room. ”

When reading the book, Lin Jin was indifferent to Mama Wang and Snow Goose brought from the Lin family by Daiyu's side, and her feelings for Zijuan changed very differently, at first, she was appreciative; But later. It's criticism.
