Chapter 8 Mama Wang, who is like a fish in water
It is said that Lin Daiyu took the double dragon jade pendant back to her boudoir, she took out the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, this is an excellent piece of mutton fat jade carved into a pattern of double dragon playing beads, the best thing is that the bead is orange, and it can be turned. The carvings of the two dragons are extremely detailed and lifelike, and at first glance they are the work of famous artists.
Lin Daiyu found that in an inconspicuous place, there were two seal characters "Li Zhi". This should be the name of the crown prince.
Lin Daiyu's eyes appeared in front of the prince's handsome face and warm smile, she thought that if it was really fate in her previous life, she was the Zhuzhu fairy grass on the bank of the Ling River, then the prince was the attendant of the Shenying of the Red Flawed Palace, and as for Jia Baoyu's dull little boy, at most it was just the stubborn stone under the Qinggang Peak.
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but smile, she carefully put the Shuanglong jade pendant into the mezzanine of her jewelry box, and then called Zijuan to serve her, remove the residual makeup, and go to bed.
After lunch the next day, Lin Daiyu was tutoring Zijuan and Snow Goose in the house, only to see the nurse Wang Mama walk in with a solemn face, Lin Daiyu knew that she had something to say to herself, so she gave Snow Goose a look, let Snow Goose guard at the door, and did not allow an outsider to come in.
said that Aunt Xie left four girls and one grandmother for Lin Daiyu that day, but Lin Daiyu told them with a straight face at that time that they were not allowed to come to her house if they were fine, and they were only waiting outside the house. Therefore, in addition to cleaning and cleaning in the yard, these five people also helped Lin Daiyu wash her clothes and do some rough work.
Lin Daiyu was originally thoughtful and a sensitive girl, coupled with the life under the fence in Jiafu for a few years, it made her develop the habit of paying attention to it from time to time and caring about it step by step, although she returned to Lin Mansion, she was still cautious and did not want five strangers to stare at her every day. In her opinion, these five people are the eyeliner that Aunt Xie placed beside her.
When Xue Yan saw Lin Daiyu's eyes, she understood, and immediately walked to the door, closed the door, stood on the steps by herself, and told the people in the yard not to make a move, and the girl wanted to take a nap.
"Mama, you sit down and talk, Zijuan pours Mama a cup of tea." Lin Daiyu pointed to the stool for Mama Wang to sit down, and then turned her head and instructed Zijuan.
Zijuan poured a cup of tea for Mama Wang, sat down on the stool next to the bed, took the sewing basket, and listened to Mama Wang and Lin Daiyu while making needlework.
Mama Wang took a sip of tea, looked around the room, and then whispered to Lin Daiyu and began to tell Lin Daiyu what she had heard in the Lin Mansion in the past few days.
This Mama Wang is Lin Daiyu's nurse, the son of Lin Mansion, and it can be said that she has been living a life of disappearance in the past few years with Lin Daiyu in Jiafu, basically rarely hearing her say anything, and not seeing her do anything. What do you think, even Lin Daiyu, the granddaughter of Jia's mother, has to be careful in Jiafu, not to mention that she, a slave, has to clamp her tail and be a man. Where is there any capital like Jia Baoyu's nurse Mama Li, who has nothing to do in three days and looks for the girl in Jia Baoyu's house to vent her anger, and makes the chickens and dogs restless all day long.
But as soon as she returned to the Lin Mansion, she began to be like a fish in water, obeyed Lin Daiyu's arrangement, and went to old acquaintances and old friends to chat with her every day after dinner, and inquired about what had happened in the Lin Mansion in the past few years, so after a few days, she often touched the inside and outside of the Lin Mansion.
"Girl, not long after we left that year, my grandfather married Aunt Xie, this Xie Yiniang is not from our Lin Mansion, her maiden family is in Xie Jiazhuang outside the city, and she was originally a landlord, but later declined. This Aunt Xie is also a little bit beautiful, and she can recognize a few words, but she is arrogant, ordinary people can't look at it, and she drags it back and forth and drags it into an old girl. Somehow, when her family heard that his wife had passed away, they wanted her to fill the house for the master, so they asked someone to say, but unfortunately the master was deeply affectionate to his wife and didn't want to remarry, so he only promised to let her be an aunt. Mama Wang said so much in one breath, looked at Lin Daiyu, and found that she was looking at herself intently.
Mama Wang picked up the teacup, took a sip of water and continued: "This Aunt Xie's real name is Xie Bilian, she is a very scheming woman, after she became an aunt to the master, she also brought her brother and sister-in-law, it is the housekeeper Xie and Mama Xie." The old man is busy with official business every day, and his health is not good, so the three of Aunt Xie are at home, and they have the final say on all major and small affairs. ”
Mama Wang looked at Lin Daiyu, and suddenly said a little mysteriously: "I heard that Aunt Xie was pregnant with a brother last year, and she had a miscarriage when she was six months old. ”
Mama Wang's tone was a little regretful, and a little gloating, which made Lin Daiyu feel very funny, he knew that Wang Moumou really loved him, and he was afraid that Aunt Xie's son would compete for his own property, and he felt sorry for Master Lin and had no offspring.
Mama Wang said again: "This Aunt Xie relies on her own good looks, is literate and hyphenated, much better than the four aunts, and is deeply liked by the master, so within two years, she squeezed those aunts down, and the maids and mothers-in-law who used to be used by the wife were also sent away by her." That's right, the people in the Lin Mansion now are basically her people. ”
As expected, Lin Daiyu nodded secretly.
While he was talking, he suddenly heard Xue Yan shouting at the door: "Aunt Xie is here!" ”
Lin Daiyu motioned to Mama Wang to be silent, and then got up to lie down and pretend to sleep, Mama Wang knew what Lin Daiyu meant, and also got up and went to the back room.
Zijuan put down the sewing basket and went to the door to open the door for Aunt Xie, wanting to know what was going on? Let's listen to the next breakdown.
