The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 129 Daiyu’s quarrel

Xichun's nanny smiled apologetically and said, "The girl is absolutely right, but the girl shouldn't do it herself. If the girl wants to hit someone, just say it and the slaves will do it. Why bother to make the girl's hands hurt?"

A maid brought water and helped Xichun wash her hands. Then the nanny took the ointment and smeared Xichun's hands inside and out.

Grandma Wang was so angry that her face was livid and her whole body was shaking. However, she did not dare to treat herself as an ancestor like she had done in the Yingchun House. She smiled coquettishly and ran out without paying attention to anyone.

Daiyu placed the old lady and others in Conglv Hall, behind the ancestral hall, to the left of Ning'an Hall, in Huifang Garden.

In Chapter 70 of No. [-] of "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Zhen is leading her wives and concubines to a Mid-Autumn Festival night party. Suddenly, she hears a long sigh and is horrified and frightened.

The old lady was not welcomed into Ning'an Hall, and she was already a little unhappy.

She sat at the top, with Baoyu leaning in her arms. Daiyu sat beside Mrs. Wang and Xifeng, and while they were talking about things in the south, they heard noises coming from outside.

"What's going on?" Got beaten!"

Grandma Wang was originally going to go back in despair, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. But she happened to be seen by the grandma at the house over there, and asked what was going on with her face. Grandma Wang said, "That mama?" After some prodding, Grandma Wang came.

"Let her come in and talk!" Jia Mu was worried that nothing would happen, so Grandma Wang handed her a ladder.

Grandma Wang knelt on the ground, raised her head and showed her face to the old lady and the madam, "I originally planned not to say anything. It is not a big deal for the master to beat the slave. But when I think about it, the old lady and the madam The ladies leave the girls to their slaves to educate them, and if they can’t persuade them, what else do the masters do with their slaves?”

The old lady said to Daiyu, "You are also a sister-in-law. A sister-in-law raises a sister-in-law. This is like raising a child as a mother. It is a heavy responsibility. Can you handle it?"

Daiyu knew that if she said she couldn't do it, the old lady would either take Xichun back, or she would ask Xifeng to help her again.

"Old lady, there must be something hidden in this." She turned around and said sternly to Grandma Wang, "You old grandma, why don't you make it clear why the fourth girl is making excuses?"

Grandma Wang trembled all over, shrank her neck, and told how she hit the cat when the second girl wanted to hug it, "I was worried that the second girl's new clothes were dirty, and the cat was covered in hair. Although a slave is not as good as a cat, it is only for the sake of the second girl. Nowadays, a piece of clothing, not to mention the material, is very expensive for workmanship."

These words touched the hearts of Mrs. Wang and Xifeng.

Mrs. Wang said to the nanny, "You are a good person!"

Xifeng smiled and looked Daiyu up and down, "If we weren't the same family, I would really wonder if all the 50 taels of silver we donated went into brother Cong's pockets. Why is it so difficult for us there? Is it different here with my younger siblings?"

Xifeng had already expressed hatred over and over again, but Daiyu thought that when she lived in Rong Mansion before, she was quite polite to her and tolerated it two or three times, and she had no intention of enduring it anymore this time.

"Sister Feng is really funny. Seeing the old lady using you, I thought you were a good person. Since you can use the monthly money from the house over there to earn an interest and spend it on yourself, why would you never think of giving the public money to me? How about using the silver to do some business and make a big fortune?"

Xifeng immediately turned her back, "What are you talking about, brother and sister? Have I ever done such a thing?"

Last time, most of the people Lai Da was involved in were those who were well-known in the front yard. Jia Lian usually had a very bottom line in doing things, and Xifeng was someone who acted in the backyard, so they were saved.

How could Daiyu know about lending money for interest? She just heard what Jia Cong said and took it to heart.

Thinking that Jia Cong told her this, he had already planned it. When Daiyu came back, she would deal with them more or less. At the critical moment, this was the weapon that could be used to attack her. Seeing Xifeng's face changed, Daiyu was heartbroken. You know, this is a snake hit to the seven inches.

"Sister Feng said she didn't do it, so she didn't do it. Speaking of which, I just heard about it, and I don't have any evidence. If Sister Feng feels that she has been wronged, it has nothing to do with me."

Daiyu dared to say this, but Xifeng did not dare to listen to it. Without him, Daiyu would not say groundless words. Thinking about who Jia Cong was, Xifeng actually shuddered.

Mrs. Wang looked at Xifeng sharply, but she only glanced at it and quickly took it back. At the critical moment, she could not push her niece to the old lady's side.

"Where did you hear that?" Xifeng looked extremely aggrieved, "This is really...who is trying to frame me?"

"The government over there postpones the monthly routine every month, which makes people guess what's going on? Besides, if something is done, someone must know about it. Sister Feng asked me, how do I know? I can't do anything about it. It’s just those people in the house.”

"You heard this kind of thing, instead of trying to defend me, you asked me about it? It's really funny. I am the kind of person who is short of money? In which year, in order to show my filial piety, I asked my boss I always try my best to be filial to my wife, but I am short of three or two silver coins. It’s really strange!”

Daiyu knew that although the Wang family was rich, Xifeng's parents were not rich, and her father's room was nothing in the Wang family. She couldn't help but laugh when she heard Xifeng say this.

"Sister Feng's food and clothing are the best in the house. I don't know if others can compare to them. Anyway, I can't compare to them, and neither does Sister-in-law Zhen. Sister Feng is qualified to say such things, I'm not qualified.

Although I am the only one of my parents, my total dowry is less than 1 taels of silver, which is incomparable to the Wang family who said, "There is no white jade bed in the East China Sea, and the Dragon King comes to find the King of Jinling." It is uncertain that in the future, even the court will ask for the King of Jinling. At that time, Sister Feng was so majestic! "

Jia Mu's face looked very ugly. Daiyu was clearly pointing at her face and scolding her like this.

Back then, when Jia Min got married, the Jia family was at its peak. Duke Rong Guo only had this one legitimate daughter, and she married into the Lin family of the fourth generation of marquises. Lin Ruhai also had a talent for looking for flowers, with ten miles of red makeup and a 120-carat You can't even put your hand in the dowry, there are many rare and exotic objects, and there are also many farm shops.

Later, when Jia Min saw that her life was not long, Jia's mother wanted to take Daiyu back, and a large part of the reason was because of the dowry.

Lin Ruhai is passionate about book business and is determined not to get even half of his wife's dowry for fear of being criticized verbally or writtenly.

Since ancient times, if a childless woman is gone, her natal family will often ask for her dowry back. Although Jia Min still has Daiyu, Lin Ruhai can't say anything if the Jia family wants to take back both her and her dowry.

However, the father and daughter never imagined that when Daiyu left the court, the Jia family would not spend a penny of Jia Min's dowry.

When Daiyu said this, everyone from Jia Mu to Xifeng was shocked and silent, unable to say a word.

First, Xichun caused trouble, and then Daiyu and Xifeng started fighting, and the war also affected Jia Mu.

It was originally planned to spend the whole day shopping here, but before noon, Jia Mu said she was tired and refused to eat, so she led the people back to Rongguo Mansion.

Baoyu is a fool. Seeing Daiyu's attitude towards them, they all know that Sister Lin is disgusted with the people here.

Back at Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu was bored and strolled into Tanchun's room. Tanchun was talking to Yingchun, and the topic was naturally about cherishing spring.

"I didn't expect that the person she used to be has changed now." Tan Chun's eyes were full of fascination, and Xichun's performance today made her particularly shocked.

Although Yingchun looks like a wooden person, he is not a real wooden person. She actually envies Xichun in her heart. At least, the nanny around Xichun is not like that. Although she is responsible for educating the nanny, she only obeys Xichun's fate.

"Yes, how did she become like this?" Baoyu came in with a sigh, "She was clearly not such a person before, so how come she became like this after not seeing her for several years?"

Baoyu said, his eyes were red.

Tanchun and Yingchun knew that Baoyu was talking about Daiyu, and they had also heard about Cong Lutang. They really didn't expect that Daiyu would confront Xifeng like that and even tell her about the dowry.

In this way, the whole world knows that the Jia family swallowed Jia Min's dowry and spent none of it on Daiyu, which is really a shameful thing.

The husband's family swallowing the daughter-in-law's dowry will certainly be ridiculed by the world, but the mother's family swallowing the granddaughter's dowry is even more despised.

If these words get out, the face of Duke Rongguo will be directly pushed to the ground and trampled on.Baoyu's focus was not on this. He was sad that after Daiyu got married, she stopped being naughty with him and didn't even look at him.

Tan Chun thought that Daiyu and Xichun's confidence came from Jia Cong. She really envied Xichun for having such a good brother. If one day in the future, the Rongguo Mansion collapsed, even the second sister would be able to take action. No matter what, the second sister and the third sister would The elder brother is a half-sibling, and with his temperament, the third elder brother will definitely take care of the second elder sister.

The third brother has a clear sense of grievances and is very responsible as a man. Unlike the one in front of him, he only hangs out in the boudoir all day long, is sad for the spring and the moon, does not pay attention to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and has no commitment to the economy. I don't know what his future plans are.

Just as he was talking, saying that Xiangyun was coming, there was the sound of running under the eaves, and then Xiangyun's voice sounded, "Okay, you go over there to see Sister Lin and Fourth Sister, and you didn't tell me in advance. You just ran away secretly."

Xiangyun ran in wearing a pomegranate red cross-collar skirt, and the wind blew up her braid hanging down on her chest. Seeing Baoyu and the other two people looking solemn, they couldn't help but asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?" "

The three of them stood up to greet Xiangyun, and then they heard Tanchun talk about going there quickly. Xiangyun was shocked, "Did Sister Lin really send the post here?"

Doesn’t this mean we don’t regard this place as a family?

"Yes!" Tan Chun didn't know what to say. Originally, Xichun was kind enough to take them over to play, but in the end, Sister Feng insisted on going there too, and even asked Sister Ping'er to go there.

Yingchun lowered her head, picking at her fingers and saying nothing. She was still thinking about that cat, which was so soft and cold, so cute.

Xiangyun tilted his head and looked at Baoyu, "Brother Ai, aren't you happy that I'm here?"

Baoyu finally became happy, "Why am I unhappy? I've been looking forward to your coming for so long!"

Xiangyun said, "Brother Ai, I heard that the third brother has made great achievements in Jiangnan again. He is younger than you. He is also the head of the Jiangning Mansion, and he has become the boss again. This time he has made great achievements again. You have made great achievements and you are truly a powerful person, what are your plans?"

Baoyu was a little confused. What about Jia Cong? What does it have to do with him?
"How come you still don't change your temperament? Brother Cong San is younger than you, and now he has done a great job. Now that you are older, you don't want to study and take the imperial examination.

I don't want to meet these people who work for officials and talk about official career and economic knowledge, so that I can deal with worldly affairs in the future and have a friend in the future.I didn’t see you as an adult doing nothing but causing trouble in our team! "

When Baoyu heard this, his face changed. He stood up, pointed at the door and said, "Girl, please don't live in the same room with me. Be careful, people like me have irritated the girl. Since the girl thinks Jia Cong is good, hurry up and go to the house over there." !”

Xiangyun's face turned red, and she stood up, looking angry no matter how wronged she was.

Tanchun was busy trying to smooth things over, "Don't say such things. That's why Sister Lin doesn't want to see you. I feel uncomfortable. You come here and say these things again. Why bother to make him angry?"

Xiangyun said, "Oh, what about the strange way? Why did I say that? It turned out that Sister Lin gave him the bad temper and took it out on me?"

Seeing that Baoyu was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, Tanchun became anxious and said, "Sister Yun is really confused. You don't know what kind of character he is. What do you have to do to force him to do it now? It's good to cause trouble." ?"

Xiangyun was getting discouraged when he saw Baoyu stamping his foot violently, "Okay, okay, from now on you people will leave me and just go and hang out with Jia Cong!"

With that said, Baoyu raised his feet and left.

Xiangyun's face turned red with anger. Tanchun pulled her to sit down. Xiangyun asked, "I just said that Sister Lin is not naughty with her. What's going on?"

Tanchun said, "Who is Sister Lin now? Third brother's title has been raised again. Sister Lin is now a third-grade lady, and she is in charge of the middle minister over there. How can she be like us?"

It can be seen that as long as people work hard, it is very easy to achieve results.

The third brother is still so young, but he has raised all the titles of his ancestors, very grandfatherly.

Xiangyun was extremely envious of Daiyu. He originally thought that Daiyu was just like him. Although she had no mother and still had a father, she was sent all the way here, so she was no different from having no father. And I lost my parents when I was young. Although I don’t have a grandmother to rely on, I still have my uncles and aunts to rely on.

Although life is a bit difficult, compared to Sister Lin, it is better than living under someone else's roof and having no one to rely on.

But now, among these sisters, which one will have a better future than Sister Lin?
"I heard from my aunts that the third brother has made great achievements in Jiangnan again!"

Xiangyun explained that she was not calm just now. Baoyu's betrayal made her very uneasy, and she also said what was in her heart, "Seeing that Sister Lin went south with the third brother before, she has benefited now."

Yingchun said quietly, "Fourth sister is also a blessing!"

Her expression was still dull when she spoke, but everyone could see that she was truly envious of Xichun.

Tanchun said, "You don't know how powerful the fourth sister is. Aunt Wang, the wet nurse of the second sister, stepped forward and slapped her."

Xiangyun often comes and goes to Jia's house, but others don't know that she has heard how powerful Grandma Wang is. Not to mention that the second sister often doesn't get the money every two or two months, so Grandma Wang takes it. After losing all her money in drinking and gambling, even if the second sister had good stuff, she would often pawn it off.

Logically speaking, such a troublesome slave should not be kept.

But according to the rules of the Jia family, Aunt Li in the Baoyu House can act up and scold the attacker at every turn. Sister Feng even coaxed the old nanny several times, let alone the second sister.

They are masters one by one and are controlled by their servants. They say that this is the way to be a well-educated young master. Xiangyun actually doesn't understand what this rule is?

In Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu felt very uncomfortable. After Mrs. Wang and Xifeng sent Jia Mu back, they left separately, leaving Jia Mu alone on the Arhat bed with her eyes closed and the mandarin duck holding the beauty in her hand. The mallet struck gently.

If it had been before, Jia Mu could still call Aunt Lai to come and talk, and others could not talk to her, but Aunt Lai could speak to the old lady's heart. Now, the Lai family has been defeated, and after the house was confiscated , her two sons and her most promising grandson all died in the cell. How could Mother Jia dare to let Grandma Lai get close to her?

Yuanyang wanted to give her some advice, but as a maid, she had no position whatsoever and could only serve her wholeheartedly.

Fortunately, Xifeng came after a while, and Yuanyang breathed a sigh of relief. She handed the beauty mallet to Xifeng, stepped out, and closed the door thoughtfully.

"Ancestor, let me see, over there in Dongfu, I don't know if Sister Lin heard what brother Cong poured her into, and she is no longer on the same page as us!"

Jia Mu sighed. She never imagined that Daiyu would argue with her about the dowry. Is this something that a well-educated girl should argue about?

"After all, she is still blaming me!" Jia Mu sighed, "Her mother didn't leave anything behind. If she were here, I would always have to take care of her in the future, so what would happen to her? Can she go without her? Who would have known that her father actually promised her to Jia Cong."

Xifeng knew that the old lady was determined that Daiyu would be with Baoyu in the future. If so, the old lady must have given her portion of the dowry to Daiyu for the sake of Baoyu.

But Daiyu married Jia Cong. Due to both emotions and reasons, the old lady would not leave the dowry to Daiyu. Moreover, the dowry was originally prepared by the Jia family for Jia Min. Jia Min is no longer there. If it is gone, Daiyu, the Lin family also wants to return the dowry.

"Old lady, when Sister Lin comes out of the cabinet, we should also add makeup to her. This is also indispensable. I mean, I'd better ask Ping'er to go over tomorrow and replenish her makeup."

It just depends on how embarrassed Daiyu is to ask for it.

Jia's mother had no sympathy for Daiyu at all. She said "Yes" and called Yuanyang, "Draw up a list, compare it with 3000 taels of silver, and send it back to Dongfu. "

Xifeng then smiled. It seemed that the old lady really disliked Daiyu. This extra make-up didn't look like a dowry, and the dowry didn't look like a dowry. It would be up to Daiyu whether she would accept it or not!
　The epidemic is here again, everyone should pay attention to safety, and online classes have started again at home, which is really terrible.
