Enemies in the Red Chamber

"Girl, the master sent someone to bring in a few bottles of red plums. He said they were picked from the most famous plum garden in Yangzhou. Madam asked you to pick two bottles." Yu said.

Daiyu was diagnosed with depression just after her first birthday, which scared Jia Min and Lin Hai enough. Because Jia Min was worried about her daughter, she gave Daiyu two powerful maids by her side, and renamed them Chan Xin and Yue Zhao. It is also always reminding her to have peace of mind.

Moreover, since then, whenever Lin Hai encounters something interesting and interesting outside, he always wants to bring some back to his wife and children at home, for fear that if they are not careful, they will get bored again.I don't know if Daiyu realized that her father was paying attention, but Jia Min really benefited a lot. She was relieved from worrying about not having a son, and her body is better than before.Now that I have been pregnant again for five months, my heart is even more relaxed.

"Understood. Is Madam free now?" Lin Hai didn't even have a concubine's room, and Daiyu was too young to take care of family affairs even though Jia Min was pregnant.Anyway, when Jia Min gave birth to Daiyu, it was the same in the mansion, so Daiyu wasn't very worried.

The father in this life is really a good man, and the mother is really a powerful woman!Daiyu had to sigh.From the previous life to this life, I have never heard of such a family where the hostess is pregnant and the hostess lives for a year without even accepting a housemate, and it is still in the case of no children for many years.

Zen Xin looked at the girl who looked like a little adult, and sighed that she was indeed the daughter of the official family, and she was really well-bred.Of those two or three-year-old little girls I have seen before, which one is not only crying, but also tortures others. Now the big girl can not only choose clothes by herself, but also read and read.What a difference!After serving the girl for a period of time, no one in the yard dared to treat the girl like a child.

"The wife is waiting for the eldest girl. The wife said that it is no fun to be cold these two days. She was worried that the girl would be bored. Today there are beautiful plum blossoms to enjoy." Zen Xin said while dressing Daiyu with a hat.

Just at this time, Yuezhao came in angrily, "Don't wear this soon, thin little ice beads have started to fall outside again, I don't know what's wrong this winter. My wife gave me a new orangutan felt a few days ago. If you haven’t worn it, just wear that, it’s also festive to look at.”

"What did Sister Yuezhao do? Why did she freeze like this? Just let Sister Chanxin take care of her. Let's warm up to the fire first." Seeing that Yuezhao was so cold, Daiyu pointed to the small stool by the stove for her to sit down. .

Yuezhao pointed to Zen Xin to change Daiyu's clothes and said: "Thank you, girl. Just now my sister-in-law came in to see me, and I went to the second gate and said a few words to her. If you say that our side is the south, why? It’s still so cold, it’s really evil this year, and it’s not like this in previous years. I heard that the north is much colder than here, so how cold is it!”

"The cold in the north is different from ours. Ours is damp and cold to the bone. The north is dry and cold. In winter, the face and hands are all dry. I think back when I was in the capital with my master and wife. In winter, you will have to use two more boxes of rouge and oil than now." While talking, Daiyu's nanny Wang Momo came in.

"Young lady's clothes look good, but my wife is good at taking care of people." Wang Momo took a felt hat and put it on Daiyu, and said after looking up and down.When he reached the door, he was about to pick up Daiyu.

Zen Xin stopped Wang Momo, "Mom, don't be like this, the girl has grown up a bit, just let the servants and others hold her, just take care of yourself and point us, it's better than anything else." Yue Zhao also persuaded, "Mom, don't worry, the Zen heart is strong, and it's absolutely fine." Daiyu also said that it's fine to let the Zen heart hug her, and she doesn't have to work hard for her mother.

Mother Wang had no choice but to agree.Nanny Wang bought into the Lin Mansion when Lin Hai first came to Beijing to rush for the exam, and she came to be Daiyu's nursing mother only after giving birth to her fourth child. Coupled with the fact that the weather is slippery, it is really not suitable to hold Lin Daiyu.

"The girl is here." Following these words, the girls and women outside the door all started to move.Who doesn't know that the old lady loves the girl the most, even now that the wife is pregnant, she still asks the girl how she is feeling several times a day, for fear that the girl will be wronged.

Jia Min was sitting on the soft couch with her not-so-big belly chatting with Nanny Lin when she saw Daiyu come in and waved to her, "Come here and let me have a look, I heard it's starting to fall outside again, but it's freezing ?”

Daiyu took off her big clothes, and roasted for a while at a place far away from Jia Min. After cooling off, she came to Jia Min's side, avoiding Jia Min's stomach and leaning on Jia Min's body, "Wearing the orangutan you gave me." I don’t feel cold. How is mother today? Is my little brother good?” Then he winked at Jia Min’s belly, “You have to be good, brother, or my sister will hit your palm in the future.” Full All the maids and women in the house laughed.

Jia Min stretched out his right index finger and pointed at Daiyu's forehead, "You're the one to blame!" Then he pointed to several bottles of red plums on the table next to him, "Your father picked a few bottles of red plums. Let your father see you It’s so weird, let’s see if I can bring you back any good things.”

"Then madam, please don't tell my father. I pointed to my father to bring us more interesting things." She took Jia Min's hand to pick plum blossoms. "This bottle is beautiful. The twigs of red plums are paired with a more delicate white-glazed semi-hollow vase. There is some incense in the vase, and it just happens to be placed on the small table by the window over there. It smells good and looks good."

"Well, it's not bad." After hearing Jia Min's answer, a little girl came over and cut the bottle, and put the bottle where Daiyu pointed.

Jia Min pointed to the two larger ones and said, "You have two large floor-to-ceiling vases in the sky after the rain, and these two big ones are just right for them. It's very lively."

Daiyu also thought it was good, but after a closer look, these two were the best, and said, "Why don't you put them in father's study, so that when father is tired, he can relax."

Jia Min pursed her lips and patted the back of Daiyu's hand with the other hand, "It's no wonder you have such filial piety. I sent it to your father's place early in the morning, so you can take it for you."

Daiyu smiled shyly, "Then daughter, you're welcome." Then two more daughters-in-law quickly sent two red plums to Daiyu's room.

"Still playing tricks!" Jia Min smiled and tapped Daiyu's forehead again.They also discussed how to arrange the side halls, bedrooms, etc., which ones can be cut out to match other things, and which ones can be used by the maids to take the plugs. The mother and daughter enjoyed themselves happily.

After eating some snacks, Dai Yu just wanted to go back to her room so that Jia Min could have a good rest, when the housekeeper's wife came back and said, "Mrs. Feng, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and the Xue family of Jinling are here to send New Year's gifts."

Daiyu didn't leave either, and sat down again, muttering softly, "Annual ceremony? Why is it so early?"

Jia Min smiled, "It's already the twelfth lunar month, it's getting late, don't forget to return the gift. This year's weather is bad, and every family is afraid that it will be bad if it's delayed. Our family will give you your grandfather's family, Wang family, and Shi family. , and the New Year’s gifts for the adults in the capital have been sent out more than ten days earlier, if they were closer, they would have arrived earlier."

From this point of view, I need to be more cautious in the future, and learn the rules here carefully. The general direction here is similar to the place where I used to be, but there are still differences in the details. I can’t accept it until the middle of the twelfth lunar month in the original place. For the New Year ceremony, Daiyu thought about it.

At this time, Jia Min had already received the gift list and began to read it.Master Feng's gift has been extended by three points this year, so I want to mention it to the master, I'm afraid I'm asking the master for something.The Xue family's gift is similar to before, but there are some more novelties, it's not a big deal, just return the gift as before. "The people brought here go to the guest room to rest, let Lin An's family make arrangements, and order the kitchen to cook more ginger soup first, let those people go to the cold, and then cook some warm meals, and I will ask questions later."

"My daughter is also three years old, why don't I take care of some trivial matters with my wife this year, huh?" Daiyu was a little worried about Jia Min's health, thinking that Jia Min was prone to illness since she was born, and now she has to take care of the New Year. , even more worried.

Jia Min looked at Daiyu's small body, and was gratified that she was sensible and knew how to love others, but she still felt sorry for her, "I know you love me because I'm afraid I'll be tired, but you're still young, and you can learn to write and write in your spare time. That's all for Luozi, after another two years you won't be able to be brisk even if you want to."

It's only been a few years for girls to be able to play around wantonly. At the age of four or five, they have to start school, study, needlework, manners, and socialize. Once you are engaged, you have to start embroidering the dowry and recuperating your body. After you get married, there are many things to do, and you will never have any free time in your life.

Daiyu took Jia Min's hand and smiled, "I'm so bored when I have nothing to do on weekdays. It's because my wife takes care of trivial matters, and it's because my daughter wants to find a name to play with. Good wife, just let me go, okay?" Is it good?"

Jia Min's smile deepened, and she quickly pulled out her hand, "Okay, okay, don't shake it, come if you want, and don't complain when the time comes." Then she picked up the gift list from Xue's family, "Look, Can you admit it completely?"

Daiyu propped her chin on the gift slip and tilted her head to look at Jia Min, "I want to admit everything, what reward will my wife give me?"

Jia Min pointed to Daiyu and said to Wang Momo: "Look at you girls, you still want to earn my money. Come on, if you recognize everything, this year's return gift from each family will bring you to prepare together. The gift is also up to you."

Wang Momo replied with a smile: "This is also the heart of the girl who loves the wife."

"Yes." He Rui who was beside Jia Min brought tea with a smile.

Daiyu continued to tilt her head and smiled, "It's a deal!" After speaking, she opened the gift list and began to read in an orderly manner.

When Jia Min heard that she could know such words, she was puzzled.If she wanted to enlighten her by herself, she taught her the Three Character Classic, but she broke it after she became pregnant. Where did she learn it?

Seeing that Jia Min was thoughtful, Wang Momo was so excited that she didn't know where the inspiration came from, so she hurriedly said: "Hey, it can be seen that it is useful for a girl to read and read all day long. How can a man know so much?" That's right, she really deserves to be the girl of our family's Master Tanhua." It's not a good name for not taking good care of the girl.

When Daiyu heard this, she suddenly realized that she was broken, and forgot that she was only three years old, so she hurriedly made amends: "I won't embarrass my father, hum!"

After hearing this, Jia Min didn't think much about it anymore, she only thought that her daughter had inherited her father's erudition.Or admit that her daughter's wisdom is close to a demon?Do not be silly!
