Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 56 Gusu Notes (7)

Daiyu thought that the four former maidservants beside Jia Min, except Jin'er, all had a good home, and Jin'er's thoughts moved in her heart.After all, Jin'er has been by his side for many years, so naturally he wants her to marry better, so he needs to put in more thought.Daiyu didn't say anything, so she quietly asked Jin'er what she meant.

Unexpectedly, when Jin'er heard Daiyu's words, she knelt down and said, "I beg you to stay with me for a while longer! Qi Luo and Zhi'er are now newlyweds, so it's not easy for them to serve by her side, and besides, Qi Luo Luo also went to the capital. If I leave again, there will be no one around you, girl!"

After all, Jin'er watched Daiyu grow up, so she speaks more casually than other people.Daiyu was also moved when she saw her like this.But after thinking about it, he still shook his head.Daiyu looked at Jin'er very seriously, smiled and said softly: "How can you delay your life because of me?"

But Jin'er insisted very seriously: "If the girl is sincere for me, then help me find a family where the girl looks good. It doesn't matter what the status is, as long as the girl looks good, I believe in the girl's eyes. Wait for the girl Out of the filial piety of my wife, I will be married off from this mansion. I am only eighteen after all, so I can afford to wait."

When Daiyu heard Jin'er say this, she realized that she didn't even have a single candidate at the moment, so why must she agree today?Find out first.It's not too late to notify her when there is a good candidate.So he nodded and didn't insist anymore, but in his heart he wanted to ask the old housekeeper Lin Yi's family to go out and inquire.

Daiyu was thinking in her heart, seeing that they were of the same age and were doing things safely, Zhao Bing and Zhang Xin were the only people in the mansion that she knew, but now they are both married.I am not familiar with the others, and I don’t know if there are any scholars outside. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a scholar, as long as you are willing to make progress, you will not lose money.

Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help thinking of Jia Lian, and said to herself: It would be great if my brother was here, so that he could go to the academy to inquire about it... Thinking of Jia Lian, Daiyu's thoughts couldn't help but drifted away again.Counting the days, it's almost Chinese New Year, I don't know how Jia Lian and his wife are getting along now, after the reminder of Qi Luo and his wife, will they be fine?
Jin'er was very happy to see that Daiyu didn't bring up this matter anymore.Before Daiyu could tell her to get up, she stood up again by herself.After thinking for a while, she said to Daiyu: "Now that Zhi'er is married, and there is no filial piety in the house, her new mother should avoid it." At this point, she realized that Daiyu was distracted!Can't help but don't know how to continue.

I don't know why the sudden silence made Daiyu wake up.Or Daiyu figured things out on her own.Looking up, seeing Jin'er looking at himself as if he didn't know what to do, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What's the matter? Sister Jin'er has something to say to me? Don't worry, I will let you after I have a good look at the candidate." Come and pick for yourself."

One sentence made Jin'er blush with embarrassment, she couldn't help stomping her feet and said, "Young lady, what nonsense are you talking about! I'm telling the young lady that Zhi'er is married, and there is only Xiu'er left with Aunt Luo!" Hearing this, Daiyu just realized that she was going to make a mistake again, she must have been thinking about something just now, and missed something.

Daiyu is a good child who corrects her mistakes when she knows her mistakes. What's more, she doesn't have that kind of concept of superiority and inferiority in her bones, although she sometimes puts on airs and puts up the score.But in the bottom of my heart, I really didn't regard them as outsiders, let alone the current people.So he immediately smiled and apologized to Jin'er.Jin'er was not surprised at all.

Since just now Jin'er said that there is no one around Aunt Luo, Daiyu naturally wanted to ask clearly, so Jin'er repeated the preface, and seeing Daiyu nod her head in agreement, she continued, "So Aunt Luo's side There is a shortage of people. Even if Zhier comes in in the future, it will not be easy to serve Aunt Luo again."

When Daiyu heard Jin'er say this, she was a little taken aback, since these days Daiyu's mind has been full of this and that's marriage, it's rare that she still thinks about Jin'er's affairs in her free time today.But I really didn't notice that there was no one around Aunt Luo.

Now that I think about it carefully, I go to Aunt Luo's class every day accompanied by Jin'er and Hanxiao Zhixuan, but it is not appropriate for Aunt Luo to have Xiu'er alone.Daiyu quickly made a decision that she would not be able to bring Jin'er there in the future, so she would just let Jin'er look after the house, and then arrange for Aunt Luo to have two little maids serve water and pass on a word.

For a moment, she thought again, after all, Nanny Yang was old, so she should put two little girls by her side.In case something happens, it's good for someone to pass the word.The last time I went to Yang Nanny's residence, there wasn't even a messenger.The last time I was looking for someone to send a message, I only found a woman who was a sweeper.

Daiyu is a standard actionist, since she has made up her mind, she will not procrastinate in doing things.Immediately, Jin Er asked Lin Yi's family to come in and answer.Lin Yi's family also came quickly, but within half a cup of tea, they followed Jin'er.

After listening to Daiyu's explanation, Lin Yi's family knew that she was asked to find some clever and well-behaved little girls.Lin Yi's family asked: "Don't worry, girl, I'll take care of this matter. Even if we don't have any suitable ones in our house, we can send people's teeth to show the girl. I don't know how big the girl is looking for." ?”

After hearing this, Daiyu immediately replied: "Don't look for anyone, just stick to the picks in our house. As for the age..." Daiyu hesitated for a while when she said this, she hadn't thought about this question, so she went He was thinking about it alone again.Thinking about the older ones who will get married soon, and the younger ones who are not doing anything, it is very embarrassing after all.

Seeing this, Jin'er smiled and said: "Girls, why not choose those who are in their teens, even if they get married in the future, there will be seven or eight years before they get married. It is also feasible to bring young ones to retrain." I nodded, agreeing in my heart

Jin'er got Daiyu's approval, and then continued: "Young lady's maids are also missing, especially since Yinglian left. It's time to make up for two."

After Daiyu heard this, Fang looked up at Jin'er in a daze and asked, "Is it missing?" Daiyu didn't think that when she wanted to be alone, there were so many people serving her, but there was a shortage there. ?
But Jin Er said: "Before Qi Luo followed the girl, I didn't think so, but now that Qi Luo has gone out, even my girl, you don't plan to stay." Having said this, she couldn't help but blushed a little shyly.

But he still continued: "In the future, Ruizhu, Lue, Hanxiao, and Zhixuan will follow the girl. We can rest assured that the second-class ones below are only Shinan, Lily of the Valley, and further down there are only Qinghe, Xueyan, and Jixuan. Chun. After all, it is not complete, and it may not be easy to replenish people in the future."

Daiyu thought for a while that this was also a rule, but she didn't refute it, so she said to Lin Yi's family: "Aunt Lin, let's make up for it. After you have chosen someone, send me to have a look first." After hearing this, the Yi family knew that there was still a shortage of children around Daiyu, so they couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will pick one for the girl." After speaking, seeing Daiyu wave her hand, she went to work by herself.

Lin Yi's family is worthy of being the elderly in the mansion, and within two days they sent four thirteen or fourteen-year-olds and four ten-year-olds to Daiyu.There are eight of them in total, but Daiyu looks at them, all of them are good!
All of them are very delicate and handsome, and they don't look like that enchanting one. They feel clean and refreshing when they look at them.People say that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and the eyes of these girls are also clear and bright, and they are clever at first glance.At least Daiyu was very satisfied with her appearance.

Seeing Daiyu's nod, Lin Yi's family introduced them one by one.Which family's child is that, and where does my mother work in the mansion? Lin Yi's family has made it very clear.Knowing that they are all girls from her own family, Daiyu is very satisfied.

Daiyu then said to the girls: "I can't, let Aunt Lin speak for you in the future, don't you? Please sign up for me yourself." Daiyu wanted to listen to the voice.

Those girls were also smart, either they had been taught by my mother before they came here, or they had been told by Lin Yi's family on the way, anyway, these girls answered neatly together: "Please give me your name." Daisy Yu was suddenly happy.

Daiyu couldn't do it, so she had to ask each of them what they knew and liked in daily life, but it never occurred to them that these girls had their own strengths.One of them could still read, and Daiyu was even more satisfied.

Among the remaining few girls, two are good at needlework; one father is a flower farmer in the mansion, who is in charge of the flowers and plants in the yard, and has a bit of talent and patience in taking care of flowers and plants; I know the medicinal materials; there is also an old woman who works as a kitchen errand, who has been doing odd jobs since she was a child, and she can make some by herself.All in all, each has something to offer.

So there is no need to choose any more, these Daiyu are very satisfied.Since they were asked their names just now, they all said to ask Daiyu to give them their names. Daiyu also knew that this was the rule in the aristocratic family.

For a while, Daiyu looked at the big ones and thought of the words "delicate and peaceful", so Daiyu named them respectively: Xian'er, Jing'er, An'er, and Ning'er.Just after choosing the name, why does Daiyu feel so familiar?Think about it carefully, isn't there a Ping'er beside Wang Xifeng?At this time, Daiyu didn't know that there was only a Ping'er there?

It happened to be a few small ones today, one was wearing pink, one was wearing green, the other was wearing light yellow, and the last one was wearing white.Daiyu was almost as easy as naming her Fen'er, Lu'er, Huang'er, and Bai'er.

Just as she was about to say it, Daiyu felt it was funny again: Fen'er, it sounds like a poisonous pin; Lu'er, it sounds like a donkey; Huang'er, it's even worse!Isn't it homonymous with Huang'er?Daiyu didn't dare to use it indiscriminately, otherwise she would lose her head.Bai'er, guess what Daiyu is thinking?Piano score "Bayer Piano Basic Tutorial" learned in previous life

So I have to name a few more girls.After thinking about it, I finally came up with four names: Xia He, Lvqing, Zhilan, and Yuncui.No matter what others think, Daiyu thinks it's pretty good.

So according to the order from left to right, Daiyu put the names for the four people.They are Xia He in pink clothes.In fact, the name Daiyu is quite familiar, can you think of it?Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake... But at this moment, Daiyu can't control whether there is a Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake, anyway, from now on, there will be a Xia Yuhe in her house.

Then there is Luqing in green; Zhilan in goose-yellow gown; Baier, who makes Daiyu want to laugh when she looks at her, and is also named Yuncui.

After a lot of tossing, the four majors and the four minors finally all have names.Daiyu arranged for Xian'er and Zhilan, who were good at sewing, to go to Aunt Luo's side later, to serve Xiu'er some tea and water to pass on a message, after all, Xiu'er had been with Aunt Luo for many years up.Secondly, you can also learn some crafts from Aunt Luo.It is also a way out in the future.

Jing'er, who can cook, and Bayer, who has changed her name to Yuncui, who can recognize medicinal herbs, are arranged by Daiyu to go to Aunt Yang's room.After all, Nanny Yang is getting older, it's better to have someone who can eat around her.

In the end, there are only An'er who has a quiet voice, Ning'er who always has a gentle smile, Xia He who can read, and Lu Qing who can tend flowers and plants.

Although there was one more than expected, Daiyu handed them all over to Jin'er without much concern.Let them learn from Jin Er first.Jin'er thought that she didn't have much time with Daiyu, so she was naturally willing to teach a few more, and it was obvious that these few would follow Daiyu in the future, so Jin'er was also very concerned.In this way, it can be regarded as making up for everyone.
