Chapter 135: Dream of Red Mansions No. 3
There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent.
One look at the city, and then look at the country.
Rather than know the city and the country?
It's hard to get a beautiful woman!
This is the first impression that appeared in front of the servants of Jiafu, the leader of the people in the Lin Mansion, wearing a white veil on his face, only revealing the upper half of his face with picturesque eyebrows, and the woman in white who was full of fairy spirit gave them!
Sister Lin beside this woman is familiar to them, Sister Lin is touching, lovable, and her elegant and vulgar appearance is already the top beauty they have seen in their lives! But this woman impressed them even more, she only showed half of her face to make them feel that this must be a beautiful and vulgar beauty!
Although the woman is just wearing a slightly simple plain white long brocade robe, you can find that this brocade dress is not only rare in fabric, but also embroidered with silver silk thread on the fabric of an unknown delicate flower, extending from the skirt to the waist, a silver wide belt tightens the thin waist, showing a slender figure, but also gives people a sense of elegance and luxury, draped in a light yellow open gauze coat, every move has attracted some sparkling flow of the yarn, and a piece of jade jade pendant is tied around the waist, adding a luxurious atmosphere。 As she moved slightly, the embroidery on the dress was as if it were real when it swayed, moving with the wind, faintly as if there was a dark fragrance! She carried a milky white jade bracelet in her hand, moist and shiny, and it made her skin snow. A surprisingly long green silk is draped on the shoulders, and only a pearl plum blossom hairpin is held up at will, which is really indescribably elegant. A pair of indifferent and ruthless Danfeng eyes showed their brilliance between the eye waves, making people ashamed of themselves and not daring to look directly!
And the maids and grandmothers who followed Sister Lin and this woman, you can know their identities from the uniform attire, these people are very elegant, generous, all of them do not look away, quiet duty, even the steps of walking seem to be prescribed, neat as a person!
Manzhu took the lead and walked slowly, and the group of noisy people in Jiafu were all dumbfounded by their momentum!
"Yu'er!" a mournful voice trembled!
Manzhu raised her eyes and looked over, only to see an old lady with a round face and a very rich face, and her face was slowly greeted by many flowery women! Manzhu was speechless for the behavior of the people in Jiafu who did not pay attention to the Lin family, and the father had just died, would it be too disrespectful for you to dress like this? Forget it, Jia's mother didn't even care about the death of her daughter, let alone her son-in-law?
"Old Ancestor!" Sister Lin couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw Mother Jia, hugging her and crying!
"Li Xiaoman, the righteous daughter of the Lin family, has seen the old lady, please say hello to the old lady!" Manzhu was very polite and half-squatting to meet Jia's mother, and it was the rule to respect and salute the elders.
Alas, seeing that this Jia mother is so old, she has to fake crying, she is not tired, Manzhu looks tired!
"Say hello to the old lady!" the maids and daughters of the Lin family knelt and kowtowed in unison.
"Hurry up, good boy, it's time for you to wait!" Jia Mu immediately asked everyone to get up with a charitable face, turned around and pulled Sister Lin with one hand and Manzhu with the other, crying and laughing, she really looked like a kind old grandmother.
It's a pity that Manzhu didn't feel the slightest warmth in Jia Mu's gaze that fell on her face!
"Sister Lin, you're back!"
"How is Sister Lin?"
"Sister Lin is good!"
"But I'm looking forward to you!"
The three girls of the Jia family and the Baochai of the Xue family chattered non-stop around Lin Daiyu, and for a while, the sound of the warbler and the swallow were so lively!
"Old Ancestor, look at this eldest sister of the Lin family...... This all-body style is simply a fairy descending to earth, how can there be such a ...... in this world Old lady, do you say yes or no?" Wang Xifeng laughed loudly and praised.
"Yes, a good boy of Peugeot! Yu'er! Your sister is really ...... Child, it's all your own family, there are no outsiders, it's okay! You can take off this veil, and let us see what you look like!" Jia Mu said with a smile.
The girls also looked at it with curiosity!
"Back to the old lady's words! The little woman is a hidden man, the master has a life, anyone who sees my face will die, if a man sees it, if I don't kill him, I have to marry him! Please forgive the little woman for not agreeing!" In the face of everyone's curious eyes, Manzhu explained indifferently, without the slightest intention of taking off the veil.
"Hidden people!" Jia Mu looked at Manzhu in shock, seemed to be quite jealous, and did not continue to entangle.
"Sister Lin, what is a person in the hidden door?" asked the bold Tanchun curiously.
"Okay! This is the eldest girl's teacher's business, let's not ask more!" Jia Mu hurriedly stopped.
"Ancestor, you see that we have been standing outside for so long, the eldest sister of the Lin family and our sister Lin must be tired from the journey, let's hurry up and go into the house to rest!" Wang Xifeng hurriedly came forward to ease the atmosphere and said.
"Let's go!"
"Come in!"
No matter how curious everyone was in their hearts, since the ancestors didn't let them ask, they didn't ask anymore.
When they entered the house, after Manzhu and the wives and ladies of the Jia family met the ceremony, Manzhu showed the gifts they brought one by one, filled Jia's mother's living room, and asked Mama Wang to send them the living expenses of their temporary residence in Jiafu, which aroused Jia's mother's dissatisfaction: "My son, I live in my own house, why do you see it like this, how much can you eat in the house, quickly take it back!"
"Back to the old lady's words, this time is different from the past, in the past, my sister was only a guest at my grandmother's place, but now my sister and I want to borrow to live in the house, the time is quite long, and there are many maids and women who follow, and we can't drag the family to eat and drink in the house for nothing! The father-in-law said that when my sister first arrived in the house, she had offered 3,000 taels of living expenses, and this time I will pay 10,000 taels of living expenses first, and I don't know if it is enough, if it is not enough, please don't be polite to the old lady, but if there are orders, you must obey them wholeheartedly!"
Manzhu's words made the faces of everyone present change greatly, the servants of Jiafu didn't expect that Sister Lin's family was so wealthy, and it was 10,000 taels when they made a move, which was enough for everyone in Jiafu to spend a year! It turned out that Sister Lin also gave living expenses last time? Which blind mothers-in-law bit their ears and said that Sister Lin came to fight the autumn wind and eat white food?
And the sisters of the Jia family didn't expect that the thin and helpless Sister Lin was so rich and pampered at home, no wonder she cried at every turn, this was suffering in their house!
Mrs. Wang stiffened her face, and secretly said in her heart that it was not good, this eldest girl of the Lin family did not seem to be easy to mess with, she originally thought that as long as people arrived at the house, but the two girls' families, whatever she wanted, she had to let these two fox embryos who had no father and no mother spit out all the property of the Lin family! Madame Wang was resentful in her heart, but her face was not impassive at all, but Manzhu could see the resentment in her heart from her rapid movement of the Buddha beads, as well as the real thoughts that she felt full of malice through telepathy.
Hmph! Want Sister Lin's property? Dream! This Mrs. Wang is the person who has the greatest malice towards Sister Lin, and she must solve her!
As for the eldest lady of the Jia family, she was annoyed and excited, looking at Mrs. Wang and the Lin family sisters with shining, and she was annoyed that such a large sum of money had been privately swallowed by the second room!
Jia's mother was not happy that Manzhu spoke too bluntly, saying that money had made such a mess about the relationship between the two families! She also knew that the house was not good for Yu'er, saying that she was a petty family and snarky, but what was this? Later, Yu'er married Baoyu and became the head of the house in Jia's house, and she had the opportunity to deal with this talkative villain! This Lin family's righteous daughter was too proud! She couldn't help but dislike Manzhu in her heart.
Manzhu doesn't care if these people like her or not, she wishes that these people would have a relationship with them, only if they expose their true colors, can Sister Lin be dead to them and no longer be used and deceived by them.
However, to Manzhu's surprise, she didn't see that Jia Baoyu, which is really strange, that Brother Bao is very attentive to Sister Lin, and it is really rare to know that Sister Lin didn't come to greet her when she came back!
"Man'er, you don't have to be like this, you are Yu'er's sister, although you are a righteous sister, and my own granddaughter is the same, when you come to me, you will treat it as your own family! Ah! Quickly put away the money! Feng girl, Yu'er's residence can be properly prepared?" Jia's mother played the round with her heart, playing the family card and being considerate, but after all, she was just talking, Manzhu just pushed a little, and Wang Xifeng accepted the money unceremoniously!
"Ancestor, I have to blame for this, I didn't expect my sister to bring so many maids and sisters-in-law, the yard I originally prepared was small, and I was about to ask my wife!" Wang Xifeng collected the money happily, so although she was embarrassed, she still apologized very simply! Her good aunt didn't want to see Sister Lin, and she didn't have a good impression of Sister Lin's family, so she didn't think about arranging a better yard for them. The originally arranged yard was not only small but also far away, it was originally inhabited by the minions, and I thought that I would snub them and give them a dismount, but who would have thought that they would be slapped in the face! Who would have thought that Sister Lin's house would come to so many people, and she would also make a big deal of 10,000 taels of living expenses, if they really arranged for them to live in a small courtyard that was not enough for ten people to live, they would not be laughed at to death! The living expenses of 10,000 taels could only live in the same house as the slaves in Jiafu, so if it didn't offend people to death, this relative would not only fail to do it, but also become enemies!
"Then clean up the courtyard at the back!Yu'er, this is the courtyard where your mother used to live, and the place is spacious enough, come and see me close!"
"Mother, there are only six rooms in that courtyard, I think it's still small! You have also seen it, Yu'er and the others have come back with a lot of people, at least a big courtyard of ten rooms! Feng girl, didn't your Aunt Xue and the others move to the Northeast Courtyard? Just let them live in Lixiang Courtyard. Mrs. Wang hurriedly said. A Sister Lin hooked Baoyu's heart away, and another Sister Lin who is more beautiful than Sister Lin is not a good idea, it is better to let them live far away.
"Man'er! I heard that you still have to take care of the Lin family's property, it just so happens that this Lixiangyuan is a place for the old prince to retreat in his twilight years, small and compact, with about ten houses, the front hall and the back house. There is another gate leading to the street, which can be entered and exited through this door. After Mrs. Wang persuaded Jia Mu, she was very enthusiastic and thoughtful to explain to Manzhu.
What Mrs. Wang didn't say was that this Lixiangyuan lived close to her, and if Baoyu wanted to find the Lin sisters, she would definitely pass by the house where she lived, and it would be easy for her to stop her at that time, and it would be convenient for her to spy on the Lin sisters.
