Xiao Daiyu, who has both parents, still looks fragile and weak, but her cheeks are rosy. When she saw Shen Ning, she gave a sweet smile.
"Aunt~"
The little girl's voice was clear. She called out and bowed, "How did you know that my cousin Mei and I were coming to see you?"
"Well, I counted on my fingers at home and figured it out."
The girls go to school at her place every day, and the Ning and Rong mansions are close. They haven't seen each other for three days since they met once in the second grade of junior high school.
"Can you still pinch your fingers...?"
Xiao Daiyu looked at her hands curiously.
Min Mei, who came in later, bowed and said with a smile: "Well, I think it's mainly because my aunt misses you."
She had already noticed that her aunt liked her younger cousin the most.
I especially like to see her smile.
Her little cousin is very clever and quirky, and she likes her too.
Min Mei is very clear about her family's situation.
Her mother is a concubine.
It would be good enough if the old lady could give her mother some face.
The reason why her family was able to gain a foothold in Rongguo Mansion was not only because of the efforts of her aunt in the East Mansion, but mainly because of her uncle and aunt who always helped her mother.
Min Mei cherishes this love very much.
What's more, the little cousin is really cute and adorable. Although she is young, she takes good care of each of them.
"Haha~" Shen Ning laughed, "Is Mei Jie'er jealous?"
“The vinegar is too sour.”
Min Mei was not happy to eat that thing, and said with a smile: "If I want to eat, I'll eat lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake. This is sweet, I like it."
As she said that, she picked up a piece and ate it by herself.
"What are you still standing there for?"
She waved to her little cousin, "Look, your aunt has prepared some steamed cheese with sugar for you, eat it while it's hot."
It was obvious that my aunt had calculated the time for them to arrive and had the maid set up the table.
It’s okay to eat steamed cheese with sugar occasionally, but she can’t eat it every day.
But my little cousin is in poor health. I don’t know what my aunt-in-law said to my aunt, but now as a family of three, even if we don’t eat steamed cheese with sugar, we still have to drink milk.
"Aunt~"
Daiyu felt sick as soon as she saw the steamed yogurt. She hurriedly pulled Shen Ning's sleeve and shook it, "I just drank hot milk before I came here, and now I really can't eat."
"real?"
“Really!”
Agree so straightforwardly? Shen Ning spared her, "That's all," and waved to Qingzhu, indicating that they should take the food away and eat it by themselves, and then said: "I asked you two sisters to come here today because I need your help with something."
"You say."
"Well, aunt, if we can help, just tell us."
The two sisters said in unison.
Whatever my aunt asks them to do, they are definitely capable of doing it.
Just like a butler...
They all worked very hard.
Even though they didn't have to go to school during those days and were busy with New Year affairs, the stewards would go to the West Mansion to report to them.
If you don’t understand, just go find my second sister-in-law.
Everything on the day of ancestor worship was done by the sisters and their second sister-in-law.
Afterwards, the old lady and my aunt said that they had done a good job, and each of them received six golden peanuts, which meant good luck in everything.
"Well, I want to print a set of books for someone."
Shen Ning said, "You all know that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, your elder brother Zhen and I will carry the coffin back to our hometown. You will have to take care of the printing of the book."
As she spoke, she pointed to the account book and seal that she had prepared and said, "Ask Jianbai to help with errands and such. Print as many copies of this book as possible."
"Aunt, what book is this?"
Lin Daiyu loved books and couldn't help asking her.
"Miscellaneous books!"
Shen Ning smiled at the little girl.
Although in this era, ladies of noble families are forbidden to come into contact with these things, but in many cases, the more they are forbidden, the stronger their curiosity will be.
It’s like Daiyu followed Baoyu to read a book she shouldn’t have read, and was scolded by Baochai.
If Baochai hadn't read the book, how could she know that Daiyu had read a book she shouldn't have read?
There are too many restrictions on women in this world.
The chivalry in The Legend of the Condor Heroes can be possessed by both men and women.
Daiyu in the Dream of the Red Chamber is so pitiful.
When she met Baoyu for the last time, they were both emotionally moved but stopped at the issue of reason, and Daiyu knew that there was no possibility for them.
She gets sick from time to time, which is actually a result of her repeated struggles.
The old lady gave her hope, but in the end...
There are three hundred and sixty days in a year, and the wind, frost and sword are pressing hard.
The little girl had been taking ginseng nourishing pills for so many years. How could she not tell whether there was ginseng in the medicine? She was so smart...
He must have known that he would not be able to leave the Grand View Garden alive.
So he finally grabbed Zijuan's hand and said, "Sister, I don't have any relatives here, my body is clean, please ask them to send me back."
At that time, she no longer considered anyone in the Jia family as her relatives.
"I'll print more later, you can read it if you want."
Shen Ning didn't want to kill Jia Zheng and Wang Shi with one blow. Besides not wanting to affect Jia Zhu, Yuanchun and others, she also wanted them to taste the bitterness of eating coarse food and vegetables for 360 days a year.
Compared with the hardship in the Duke's Mansion before..., it was also as harsh as a knife in the wind and frost.
"Well, if you have time, watch it. If you don't have time, forget it."
Min Mei doubted that she had time.
She is getting older.
Her mother is already looking for a boyfriend for her.
Yesterday, my uncle and my second cousin Lian brought a colleague of my cousin Lan back home.
That man, like my cousin, has been appointed as an imperial guard by the emperor and will stay in the capital from now on.
"Hehe, cousin doesn't have time, but I do."
Daiyu knew that her cousin was looking for a date, and her mother was also looking for a husband for her cousin, but she was looking for a scholar like her father. "Aunt, when you go back to the south, will you pass by Yangzhou?"
She misses her dad.
"When do you think my father will be able to come to Beijing?"
Many princes out there are gone.
I heard my mother say with relief that her father's condition was almost good enough.
But when she wanted to ask more questions, her mother refused to tell her.
"I miss him so much."
“Soon.”
Shen Ning touched the girl beside her and said, "Jiangnan may be a little busy during this period, but even if your father can't come back to Beijing this year, he still needs to go to Beijing to report on his work."
Lin Ruhai was a capable official.
The emperor will definitely use you.
"Once he returns to Beijing, it will be impossible for him to be sent out again."
The Jia family was actually on the right track when they first started looking for a breakthrough for their family.
Unfortunately, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min both died too early.
In addition, Jia Jing, who was good at studying, was ruined, and Jia Zhu also died early.
He wanted to use Yuanchun to find a new way out in the palace..., but he never expected that someone would plot against him and empty his family's wealth instead.
now……
Shen Ning was very happy. After entering the Red Mansion, she first changed the little girl's fate.
As long as Jia Min is alive, Lin Ruhai is alive, and Lin Changan is alive, Lin Daiyu is the happiest girl.
"Miss him..."
Shen Ning thought for a moment, "Why don't you ask your mother to draw a small portrait of each of you? When he sees your portraits, he will definitely draw one for himself and send it to you."
"Really?"
Xiao Daiyu's eyes suddenly sparkled.
"Definitely."
Shen Ning smiled and said, "Your parents have always understood the elegant meaning of music."
Jia Min started painting small portraits of the whole family, so would it not be too much to ask her to paint one for each person?
A talented woman who was once famous in the capital, this task would definitely be easy for her. (End of this chapter)
