Chapter 19 The Red Chamber (19)
&1t;script>Red Building 19
Shi comforted Jia Baoyu: "You little evil, you are really a demon star. Let me finish your words and hear what's the reason. Such a stupid training is not what a man should be."
Jia Baoyu is nothing else. Just this obedient one is better than others. He twisted his arms against Shi, and then stood up embarrassedly, "I was anxious just now and said a fool. I told the nanny to be wronged." As he said that, he shouted to Xiren, "Give twenty taels of silver and reward the nanny."
Mrs. Wang nodded. Silver is a small matter, the key is that men must be generous when dealing with things.
But everyone was full of servants at home, so they didn't care about the twenty taels of silver. But with these twenty taels of silver, the face was saved. She smiled and said quickly: "It's all the slaves who are scolded by their master. The second master is really a slave."
Shi said with a smile, "You are also an old man for a long time, so you should be so decent." He said that Yuanyang asked him to take the silver, "I will give Baoyu's twenty taels. How much money can he have for his family? Take another thirty taels and reward her."
Lai everyone quickly knelt down and thanked her. This was to pick up her face.
I didn't dare to wait for the masters, so I told everyone about the experience of the dock to the people in the room, "...A boat of things, the old slave said that the aunt was going back to Beijing. After asking, I realized that it was all about Miss Cousin's home use. I was considered a person who had seen the world, and this was the show..." and said with a twitch.
"This is the decent thing that everyone should have. The current pomp of the girls can only be regarded as a past." Shi pointed to Sanchun and Xiangyun, "When Min'er was at home, she was just a step forward. Before I got married, the pomp was even more than Min'er." She said a little nostalgic.
But it also shows that each generation is worse than the other, and the situation is worse than the other year.
"I look at it. The one who talks to the young master of the Lin family is a young master in an earl uniform. I don't know what kind of friendship he has with the Lin family. He should have come to the capital together. He also beat the officers and soldiers to carry the box and send it back to the Lin Mansion. Another decent woman from the Master Zhang's mansion came to pay his respects. It seems that she is very close." Lai everyone talked about these key points one by one, and then he retreated.
However, the room became quiet. Sanchun and Xiangyun Baochai quietly got up and retreated. Seeing that his sisters had gone out, Jia Baoyu twisted his body uneasy, pouted and lowered his head, and followed him out in one step and three times.
After a while of silence in the room, Shi said, "I didn't expect that the Lin family and the Zhang family would still be around."
A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Xifeng's eyes. Why didn't people walk around with such a real relative? Seeing that Jia Mu was unhappy, she knew in her heart that there must be some unhappy old things here. She was not curious about this, and thought that with the old lady's persistence in the Lin family, she was afraid that she would not give up so much and would not be able to come to the door to invite people. In this family, the ones who can run such errands back and forth were those who were bothering themselves and Lian Er.
It’s okay for someone to give him face, but if he really doesn’t give him face, he will put his face back, where will he put it?
Lian Er came back from Yangzhou and complained a lot about himself. After treating Lin Meimei, he dared to ask him to run to Yangzhou.
But the world is so conscientious that she wouldn't have cut off the silver and a few tablets of ginseng that she hired for the doctor. How much can she use in the medicine? What's more, it's all the old lady's private treasury, can she make a mistake?
I guess someone who is so bold that he replaced the good thing and replaced it with the unsuitable one. The root of it lies with the old lady. Otherwise, the old lady would have been so quiet, I would have been shouting and beating and killing long ago.
The old lady was a little sincere to Lin Daimei. She must be very angry. She was afraid that after a few days, she would find a reason to cure the people around her. Now she is not talking, because she is afraid of losing face.
As for hiring a doctor, it must be said that it was negligence. If Baoyu is not good, let alone doctors, the imperial doctor is going to invite him. Even the girl in the room, no one dares to be careless, and the doctors are on call.
From this we can see that we are close and distant. In addition, Lin Meimei is unwilling to be troublesome, so she is often sick. After a long time, who will care?
These things were unexpected for men. I guess Mr. Lin would never have thought of the pills that were asked to see the configuration. I was afraid it was the work of the eldest girl of the Lin family.
After thinking about it this way, this young lady is a powerful figure. She is so dedicated to her legitimate sister, I am afraid that Mr. Lin will take her more seriously in her heart.
On the other side, Shi sighed in his heart that when people left, the tea was cold. When Min'er was alive, the Lin family and the Zhang family had never had such a big deal. As soon as this person left, everything was in the clear place.
For Lin Ruhai, this Yue family is not worth much. But it cannot be so alienated.
"Feng girl, the yard is ready." Shi asked.
"Yes. After cleaning up Jufangyuan, all the furnishings are good." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.
Jufangyuan is a two-entry courtyard. Because it is a little far from Jia Mu's residence, no one of the masters of the Jia family has ever lived in it. The courtyard is separated from the street outside by a wall, and there is a door open, making it very convenient to enter and exit.
Shi was a little dissatisfied. It was too far away from her, so it was inconvenient to go back and forth.
Wang Xifeng said, "Apart from Jufang Courtyard, nothing else is suitable. The other courtyards are all enclosed in the inner courtyard. I am afraid that this Lin family's cousin is unhappy to live." Seeing Shi's head up, his eyes looked inquiring, he said, "Our second master went to Yangzhou and then he realized that Mr. Lin was very strict in discipline to Cousin Lin. Cousin Lin lived in the outer courtyard and did not enter the inner courtyard for a while. Even if he didn't talk to the mother and girl in the inner courtyard, he rarely had time to talk to him."
Mrs. Wang nodded. This should be the kind of upbringing of a man's family. It's a pity that the master only knows how to beat and scold, and the old lady only knows how to drown. Whenever she wants to teach herself, the old lady must not allow it, because she is afraid that Baoyu will be too close to her. Now she has developed such a temperament. Jia Min's daughter is not likable, she is crying and unlucky! Instead, she is not as polite as the Lin family's polite family. It seems that this is either Jia Min can't give birth or the old lady can't give birth to it.
Shi felt a little harsh when she heard the words. She frowned and said, "Every child is a little older, so he is afraid of these. He is really a pedantic person. It's too pedantic!"
"I'm afraid I'm used to it now. I suddenly called Cousin Lin not used to it, I'm afraid that they would rather live in their own home. Those two cousins would not be assured that Cousin Lin was at home alone." Wang Xifeng said softly.
The implication is that if you don’t make such arrangements, people won’t live there. The Lin family is in the capital and it’s not without relatives. The Zhang family is Lin Ruhai’s foreign home, and their uncle is still alive. He sent his children to live there for a year and a half, so where isn’t it?
"Since that's the case, that's fine." Shi nodded and agreed. He said, "You personally take the car to pick up people. They are villains, and they live alone. How can I feel at ease with me, an old woman? I have servants to pack up and just let them come over by themselves. Is there still a shortage of common things at home? I said that I, an old woman, miss them, and if I don't come, I will go and invite them myself."
"Oh, my ancestor! Aren't you a traitor?" Wang Xifeng stood up with a smile, "You sit high, I'll invite someone for you now. You feel sorry for your grandson, my unpleasant grandson wife, should be the life of running errands."
Then Shi looked smiling, "If you go and invite someone, I will love you."
Lin Yutong, no matter what the Jia family plans, always puts it in a clean-up manner. She asks the girls to take Lin Meimei to rest, and then arranges the housework. All these things must be put in place. Even if they live in the Jia family, they don’t need to take all the things. They have to look like they are visiting relatives and are ready to leave at any time. Whatever they need is to hit someone back and pick it up. Moreover, the Jia family wants to detain their sisters when they come and go.
Lin Yuyang followed his sister's wishes and prepared a gift to each soldier who helped him and sent it to his respective homes instead of simply giving the money to reward.
Treating these people equally often has unexpected results.
Lin Ping ordered a top-notch table and toasted one by one before saying, "My father is strict in his control and will not allow him to drink. Let the housekeeper accompany you all."
When everyone saw the Lin family's behavior, they naturally felt very comfortable. When they saw that the young master was only twelve or thirteen years old, they were still a child. They all laughed kindly and asked him to let him do it.
My sister is right, that’s how good reputation is accumulated. Besides, I and my sister both earned from hardship, so I would not look down on others. These people are much more respectful than those playboys who make their lives for their family.
When Wang Xifeng arrived, it was already half a day. The Lin family was busy but not in a mess. Lin Daiyu even slept for a night. She came back for the first time in the Lin family’s old house in Beijing, but when she looked at the arrangements in the house, she knew that her sister beat someone to clean up in advance. It was February now, and the capital was still very cold, but the ground dragons in the house were burning very vigorously. There were large blue and white jars in the four corners of the house, and water was stored in the jar, so it didn’t seem dry. Narcissus was inserted into the water, emitting a leisurely fragrance. It made people feel better.
Compared with the Jia family, it is more comfortable for oneself.
Lin Yutong received Wang Xifeng in the main hall: "It's my second sister-in-law who is here. Look, I'm busy. I thought I'd be ready to pack up and go to pay my respects to the old lady, but I didn't want to bother my sister-in-law for this trip."
