Chapter Fifty-Eight: Small Actions

The child in the development period grows up very quickly, and Daiyu's clothes and shoes are naturally not like ordinary people, and they are all made to be big, so she makes more clothes and shoes.

Yuou came over with a wolfberry cassia tea and a few snacks, and greeted Mama Gao, who had been sitting there for almost an hour, "Mama Gao, put down the work in your hand and come over and rest for a while." ”

Mama Gao put down the needle in her hand, rubbed her neck, which was a little sore because of bowing her head for a long time, got up and walked this way, and saw the wolfberry water with eye-catching function prepared by Yuou for herself, and hurriedly thanked her.

"I can't afford to thank Mama." Yuou didn't dare to take credit, and said with a smile: "This wolfberry and cassia are prepared by the uncle for the girl, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." It's been a while that has made Mama tired. Originally, I thought that people like us have no shortage of needle and thread people, so the girl's needlework does not need to be very good, as long as she knows something, she will not be pinched by others in the future, so I am still a little puzzled by the uncle's arrangement for my grandmother to follow us into Beijing. Now I understand, Uncle really counted everything. ”

Yugull's words are not for nothing. Since Daiyu came to Jiafu, Jia's mother has treated her very well, and even Sanchun's granddaughters have retreated, but it doesn't mean that Daiyu's life in this mansion is better.

In addition to Jia's mother's subsidy, and the Lin family's own preparation, Daiyu's treatment is almost all with Baoyu. Therefore, the needlework made for Daiyu in the sewing room was sent over early after Jia Mu and Baoyu. It stands to reason that this is a normal operation, but I didn't expect that there would be a storm in it.

What exactly is going on, Yuou and they don't know very well, they only know that one day, suddenly one day, there were rumors in the house that the work of other masters in the house was delayed because of the work of Daiyu and the people who served her, which led to the punishment of the needlework people in the sewing room. After inquiring carefully, there is also part of Aunt Zhao's credit.

It is the norm to praise high and step on low in this house. And Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan are the thorns in Mrs. Wang's heart, although she didn't say it explicitly, but this is a fact that most people in the house know it except for a very few people who don't know, but they don't announce it, therefore, Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan's share, although they will not be deducted, and they will not be denied, but the time to get their hands is always the latest, most of them are stuck on the line of the deadline, and the quality is the worst.

Faced with this result, Aunt Zhao made a lot of trouble, but no matter how she made trouble, the result not only did not improve much, but made her more disgusting.

It stands to reason that the treatment of Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan in the house has nothing to do with Daiyu; And Daiyu's treatment in the house has nothing to do with Aunt Zhao; But Aunt Zhao didn't think so. She felt that Daiyu's surname was Lin and she was an outsider, which made no sense, and her granddaughter's treatment exceeded that of Tanchun, the granddaughter of the Jia family; Even if Tanchun is not as good as Daiyu, and Jia Huan, he is a serious master in the house.

Therefore, because she was dissatisfied with Daiyu's almost the same treatment as Baoyu, Aunt Zhao, who was not talking much behind her back, heard that she and Jia Huan had clothes, shoes and socks, and sweat towels this time...... The reason why the needlework is later than others is that I don't think about why before Daiyu came, she and Jia Huan were still the last to get their hands on it, and together with their previous dissatisfaction, they made a fuss together with this incident.

But even if Daiyu knew about this, it was not easy to deal with Aunt Zhao. Not only because Daiyu is a guest house, but also because she is an unmarried girl, who does not act like a married woman without scruples, and has to consider reputation; Moreover, Aunt Zhao is a concubine who was born from the family, half slave and half master, Daiyu is worried about her, and she loses her identity; And this is also related to the face of Tanchun; More importantly, Daiyu clearly knows that Aunt Zhao is just a pawn who was fooled and pushed out to disgust Daiyu, and if she really wants to care, she should be the main messenger behind the scenes, not her as a pawn.

"Aunt Zhao's mallet is really stupid, being used as a gun, and she is still complacent there. I was thinking that she was so obstructive to the eyes over there," Yuou pointed in the direction of the ear room on the east side of Rongxi Hall, "Thinking of the uncle's sentence 'The enemy of the enemy is a friend', so when I sent the things sent by the uncle to various parts of the mansion a while ago, I gave Aunt Zhao and the third master of Huan, and I didn't pick those vain heads, they were all practical and useful things." As a result, I really fed the dog with a good heart. ”

When I think of the size of sesame mung beans since I entered the house, I don't care about it, it's annoying; Forget about it, and it makes people feel that Daiyu is small-minded and has no energy, and so on, Yuou couldn't help but complain: "You said that a wife in charge, there are so many things to worry about up and down the house, why do you just stare at the girl?" I don't understand, even if the girl does something bad and offends her, as the girl's elder, you can reprimand the girl a few words, what's the matter with secretly engaging in these small actions? is still from Miss Gonghou, why is she so childish, she can't be on the stage! ”

Hearing her words, Mama Gao stretched out her hand and patted the rain gull lightly, and scolded: "I'm going to die, you can say this." ”

Yuou also knew that he had lost his words, but he refused to admit his mistake, and argued stubbornly: "I'm not angry." The reason why the old lady in the house took the girl over was not only that she was worried that the girl would not be taught, but also that she felt that the lady was the girl's stepmother and would give the girl grievances. In good conscience, when the girl is at home, the wife is indeed not close enough to the girl, and she can't be so careful with the girl, so shh The girl's days are no worse than those of Mrs. Xian.

Although the girl had an unpleasant relationship with her wife when she was at home, how could this tooth not touch her lips? Even when the first wife was there, it was not that she was angry with the girl, but in the end, it was not nothing, and there was no need to take this matter seriously because of the identity of the queen mother. If you want me to say, it really has to be like the relationship between a few girls and two wives in this house, which seems to be harmonious, but in fact it is unfamiliar, then it is really called something. Besides, if you really want to say it, after the death of the first wife, the girl has lived far more at home than she has been here for a few months, and she has suffered more grievances than at home for a few years. ”

Mama Gao looked left and right, lowered her voice and said, "To put it mildly, in fact, it is not without benefit for the girl to come here to live for a few years. Although after the death of the first wife, the wife and the uncle have always been very good to the girl, but there are always those who say in the girl's ear that the stepmother and the uncle will not treat the girl sincerely, and from time to time they say similar provocative words in front of the master and the girl; Although the girl is wise, she has few things to do, and she is thoughtful, and sometimes she can't help but think more; After a long time, maybe I will be estranged from my wife and uncle.

The old lady in this house does love the girl, but no matter how much it hurts, she is only a grandmother, and our girl is only her granddaughter, a 'foreign' word is enough to explain everything, this love is not as good as her own peace and honor in this house, therefore, even if she knows that there is a ghost behind Aunt Zhao's troubles, but she refuses to break the window paper, for what, our girl is so smart, how can she not see it?

Also, Second Master Lian is not only a son-in-law, but also a master, but what kind of life is spent in this mansion, the girl can see it clearly. With such a comparison, the girl can tell the good in her heart, knowing that the wife of the family is still good to her; Not to mention the uncle, even if he is a brother, he may not be able to do this part. ”

Yuou pointed to Mama Gao's pile of needlework and said, "But this price is a bit big." Mama Gao, you used to just make the girl's underwear and objects, but now you have to do even the bits and pieces of clothes, shoes and socks, handkerchiefs, purses, etc., which are busier than needlework and thread people, and it is too hard. ”

Mama Gao waved her hand disapprovingly and said, "When the uncle asked me to come over with the girl, he had already thought about this and told me how to deal with it. I just thought that Aunt Zhao had just finished making trouble at this time, and the eyes in the house were staring at us, and it was not easy to move, so I was busy for the past two days, and when the situation calmed down, I went directly to the sewing room with the silver. ”

Yuou smiled when he heard this: "Yes, the uncle has said a long time ago, everything that can be solved with money is not a thing, not long ago, in addition to sending so many things, the uncle sent two thousand taels of silver." It's just that the atmosphere in this house is not very good, and people's eyes seem to be in the eyes of money, and there are no rules. ”

"What does it have to do with us, we just need to guard our own doors and abide by the rules." Mama Gao suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, the girl has been suffering from the heat stroke in the past two days, and her appetite is not very good, you go and tell Sister-in-law Tang, let her not be idle, go to the kitchen to pick up the girl's favorite food, and make a few seasonal meals." ”

Mama Tang makes a good hand of tea and rice, and she is in charge of Daiyu's diet at home, and she knows her preferences very clearly. Therefore, when Daiyu went to Beijing, Lin Jin was worried that the daily diet in Jiafu might not be in line with her taste, although she did not ask Mama Tang to cook three meals a day for Daiyu, but every once in a while, she changed her taste, as long as the money arrived, the kitchen in the house must not be able to say anything, so she arranged Mama Tang in the team to follow Daiyu to Beijing. It's just that although she followed Daiyu to Jiafu, Daiyu didn't want to attract attention, so she never let Mama Tang cook, but just treated her as an ordinary mamma.

Yuou agreed, and then sighed: "When Mama Tang cooks, I'm afraid that when I go back to the house, I should spread the news that the girl is delicate and expensive, and it is difficult to serve. ”

Mama Gao said sarcastically: "Could it be that if we don't do anything, there will be no gossip about girls in this house?" Since it doesn't matter whether you do it or not, you can't please it, so you naturally have to be comfortable on that day. ”
