The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Chapter 42
Er Yue was not afraid of her expression at all, and said with a smile on her face: "This is the best, the servant will tell my girl what the old lady said, and I hope the old lady will do what she says.

After all, everyone doesn't like to deal with troublesome things like this. If there are too many troubles, it will easily hurt the harmony of the Lin Jia family, right? "

When Jia's mother heard the word "harmony" she deliberately emphasized, the coldness in her eyes intensified a bit: "Oh, as expected of a girl from the Lin family, she is really eloquent, the old lady has seen it today."

Er Yue heard this, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, old lady, but the slaves are always clumsy, and I can't afford your compliment, I'm afraid it's going to disappoint your old man's kindness. "

No matter how much Ren Jiamu could bear it, she couldn't hide her anger after being provoked so many times. If she hadn't had a lot of scruples, she would have been unable to resist that big girl from the Lin family. The lowly maid was so rude to her.

It's a pity that the Jia family was wronged first, and they took advantage of them. Even if it wasn't for anything else, she would have to endure the Lin family for a while longer for the sake of Yuan Chun in the palace.

When Yuanchun's business is over, let's see how she punishes that girl.

Although she temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart, when she spoke to Mrs. Wang, the daughter-in-law, she could not help bringing some out: "The second family, let someone take them to the warehouse to check those things, if there is no problem , just register it and let them move everything away quickly, lest people always say that my Jia family took good things from the son-in-law's family."

Although Mrs. Wang was not happy in her heart, this was her mother-in-law. Even if she didn't like it, she had to respond respectfully: "Yes, the daughter-in-law knows, so let Zhou Rui's family take them there."

Jia's mother was anxious to see her treasure, Baoyu, and without waiting for Mrs. Wang's answer, she led someone into the green gauze closet, leaving Mrs. Wang with a bad complexion to deal with it for twelve months.

Twelve Months was happy to watch the fun, even though Mrs. Wang was very rude to them, they didn't care much.

Mrs. Wang is not as tolerant as Jia's mother. He has plotted so much for Baoyu. Now that the Lin family has attacked Baoyu again and again, she can't help the anger in her heart.

Therefore, when Zhou Rui's family was sent to take them to the warehouse to check things, they deliberately made things difficult for them.

Either the things were placed far away, or they were placed in a mess, or they were dirty. It was very laborious for them to check and sort them out, while the servants who followed them all stood aside and made sarcastic remarks to run them off.

Of course, the twelve of them are not easy to mess with. All the servants who ran against them were all swollen by August with a wooden plank, knocking out two front teeth.

And the messy things were easily found by April and May with ribbons, and they were placed in the box.

As for those objects that were soiled by the Jia family, the servants of the Jia family will clean up the imperial gift items on the spot. If they are not imperial gift items, all the marks will be erased, and they will be replaced with good things from the Jia family in the form of compensation. .

After checking all the items, they asked the servants of the Lin family to come and carry the things, and personally escorted the things, and carried them back to the Lin family's mansion in the capital.

There were a lot of things, and they didn't deliberately cover them up, so they quickly attracted the attention of others. For a while, there were constant speculations in the capital.

Someone who was envious of the Lin family said: "Master Lin is only a inspector and censor, how can he have so much wealth, is it because he is greedy and shouldn't be greedy?"

Someone who knew the family background of the Lin family said: "The Lin family is indeed a big family with a lot of money. Looking at the family background, I'm afraid their family will never spend their entire life."

Some people who knew the situation of the two families speculated: "Didn't Miss Lin already send things home the day she came to Beijing, and now she has carried so many things, I'm afraid it's not because Jia Min helped her mother's family to deliver them." The things you sent were found by others, right?"

There are also those who don't know and praise the generosity of Jia's family: "The grandpa's family in this country is forcing us, the common people, to be rich. Look at the behavior of this Jia's family. It is so generous to help the son-in-law's family. If anyone marries Her family's daughter is afraid that she will never be able to enjoy the glory and wealth."

Jiusi didn't pay too much attention to these speculations, and after people cleared up the Lin family's deep-rooted remarks, they no longer cared about them.

The principle of not revealing money is applicable at any time, even if she doesn't need the money, she doesn't want people to focus on her and Lin Daiyu because of it.

After all, there is only one who can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. No matter how powerful she is, she can't prevent other people from calculating.

On the contrary, for the sake of their own face, the Jia family brazenly cited the speculation of subsidizing the Lin family.

In this regard, Jiusi can only say one thing, if you don't do it, you will not die. It is not unreasonable for the Jia family to be targeted by the emperor.

No matter who it is, they can't tolerate their slaves being rich when they are poor.

As far as she knew, the current treasury was so poor that even mice were unwilling to enter it, and the natural disasters in winter and the sowing in spring were free of money, the emperor must be very anxious.

It was for this reason that she had thought of asking Lin Ruhai to exchange her family property for her life before, but it was a pity that Lin Ruhai rejected this proposal in order to leave a way out for Daiyu.

After such a ruthless disturbance, both Jia's family and Daiyu fell silent.

Mother Jia no longer used the excuse of missing Daiyu to match Jia Baoyu. From time to time, she sent someone to ask Daiyu to come and talk to her, and Daiyu no longer tried to test Jiusi's attitude. Please be safe, I will study the palace rules in my own yard if I have nothing to do.

Even when Yingchun and the others came to play with Daiyu, they also came to Xuancao Tang, and they dared not let her go to other places in Jia's house, for fear that she would meet Baoyu again and cause Jiusi's dissatisfaction.

Because Xue Baochai was looking for someone to bring her into the palace, she came to the Daylily Hall more frequently, just to inquire about some things about entering the palace, and to ask if the nun who taught the rules had any familiar sisters. Ask a nun to go back and teach her the rules.

Daiyu didn't like her style of dealing with people forward rather than backward, so she didn't like to talk to her very much, but Jiusi admired her ability very much, and let the nurturing nun teach her a lot.

As heavy snowfalls came one after another, what Jiusi was worried about happened.

The arrival of heavy snow made the weather extremely cold. Many people froze to death near the capital, and many houses were collapsed by the snow. Some people were crushed to death. Although some people escaped unharmed, they With no shelter, they all gathered outside the city gate.

But the current treasury of the imperial court has no money at all. Even if the emperor asked the palace to reduce expenditures and opened his own private treasury for disaster relief, it would be nothing but a drop in the bucket.

Because as time went by, more and more disaster victims gathered outside the city gate, presumably they came from other towns.

These victims looked worse than those near the capital. Not only were they all yellow and thin, their clothes were not complete, and many of them even walked barefoot.

　One more...

　　I planned to add more, but the children at home are sick these days, and I have to stay up late to watch them. I really don’t have much energy to type, so I can only postpone it.

　　[Reminder: Although the warm sun in spring is good, readers should also remember to add and reduce clothes. Healthy appreciation of the beautiful scenery is the best time in spring! 】
