After going out, the eldest wife Xing, the second wife Wang, the eldest grandmother Zhu Li, and the second grandmother Lian Wang were all in the first three halls. When they saw Yuanyang, they hurriedly called her over.
"What's wrong with the old lady?" Wang Xifeng asked hurriedly.
"I've been feeling sleepy all morning. I just took a nap. I think it's because I've missed my aunt these past few days and I feel a little uncomfortable." Yuanyang smiled hurriedly. She had been in the old lady's house since she was a child, and her mother-in-law and I were all the old lady's people. Although it is good to follow Wang Xifeng, he still knows what to say and what not to say. After thinking about it, he saluted Mrs. Wang again, "Madam, Second Master Bao has moved to..."
The old lady just asked Baoyu to move out of the Nuan Pavilion. Everyone heard about it, oh, except Wang Xifeng. However, she also heard about it when they came out of the old lady's house just now. Now, she understood it all at once. My wife really wants to remove Baoyu.
"Can't we let Miss Lin live in the Bisha cupboard and Baoyu live outside? Where can I find a place now?" Wang Xifeng said hurriedly.
Yuanyang didn't look at Wang Xifeng and smiled at the second wife, "The old lady said that the place must be cleared before dinner."
"Really, I know that someone is coming, but for such a long time, I have been busy talking. The house has not been occupied, the clothes have not been made, and the people have not been arranged. Even if you are a young lady, you have only done your duty. Look at your clothes, the old lady is not angry. That's weird." Mrs. Xing sneered, pointed at Wang Xifeng, who was dressed in bright red and covered in pearls and emeralds, and scolded. She couldn't tell others, but Wang Xifeng was her daughter-in-law, so she really didn't have to choose the day when she scolded her.
Wang Xifeng was startled for a moment and looked at the room. The four masters, except for herself, were all plain-colored. But immediately, she was no longer depressed. Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were originally dressed in an old-fashioned way and never liked bright colors, and Mrs. Zhu's grandma, Li Wan, was a widow. Now that I shouldn't dress like this, who has reminded me? She didn't think about it, she didn't think about this issue at all.
"Okay, I'm going back. The eldest master is still waiting for a letter!" Mrs. Xing sneered, got up and walked away with her group. Although she didn't have a good life with the eldest man, like him, she was happy when she saw that her second wife was not doing well.
Mrs. Wang still had a blank look on her face, but the hand holding the rosary tightened, then tightened and then loosened again. After a while, she said, "It turns out that Baoyu is not too small anymore and should have been moved out long ago. Let's move him to the small room west of Rongxi Hall first." .”
"Yes!" Yuanyang hurriedly took the order and went out.
Wang Xifeng looked at her aunt and hesitated, "Is the old lady..."
"Okay, young man, young man, who knows what she is thinking about!" Mrs. Wang got up and went back to Ronxi Hall.
Ping'er stood behind Wang Xifeng, his brows furrowed, "I'm afraid the old lady has another idea."
"I'm not afraid that the old lady has other ideas, I'm afraid..." Wang Xifeng smiled, flicked the veil, and went directly from the back door to the small courtyard behind the old lady.
Indoors, Lin Daiyu was also a little scared. She had heard her mother say since she was a child that her grandfather's family was different from other families. The third-class servant woman who got off the boat was already pretty. Then look at the silver-white temples, but a bit serious grandmother, who is a bit timid.
Ou Mengmeng patted her gently and smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, does your father have faith?"
"Yes!" Lin Daiyu thought of something and hurriedly asked Grandma Wang to get the box she had brought with her. Her father gave it to her and asked her to give it to her aunt. However, the old lady asked. After all, she was still a child, so she gave it to her. Mrs.
Ou Mengmeng opened the box. There was a letter at the top and a banknote at the bottom. Just one. Ou Mengmeng took out the banknote and gave it to Daiyu. She opened the letter herself. She was a little presbyopic, but it was not serious. Lin Ruhai said It's in small regular script, which is larger than the size 3 font she used in her current life. It's not difficult to read. It's a bit literary, but it's okay and not too difficult to understand.
"This thousand taels is the living expenses your father gave you. You can take it yourself. This west courtyard is my retirement home, and I will take you here. Do you know why your father sent you here?"
"My mother passed away and my father had no intention of continuing the relationship, so he asked his grandmother to educate him on his behalf." Daiyu said softly.
"Do you understand what this means?" Ou Mengmeng nodded, leaning on the big pillow, and said lightly to her.
But she wasn't idle at all. She moved her neck and legs. She wanted to retire, but she didn't want to age twenty years. Her current body is that of a pampered mother-in-law. Is she over seventy now?
Ou Mengmeng really wanted to curse, and felt that she really couldn't live this life anymore. When she watched the old lady in the TV series, she never saw her walking or going out by herself. Her retirement life is to travel around the mountains and rivers, get close to nature, and stay away from the crowd!
Also, the time she traveled through was wrong. How could she catch up with Sister Lin and enter the Jia Mansion? Earlier, she had asked Lin Ruhai not to see him off. Later, she found an excuse to send Lin Ruhai back. Now that she has just arrived, she can only continue first. Then what? What should she do?
She has been very busy since she started working. To be honest, she hasn't even watched the 1987 TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", let alone old reruns. When it first aired, her family forced her to study and didn't let her watch it. When she could watch it, she ran out of time. As for storytelling, she didn’t even have time. The novels were already popular and there were so many interpretations of a word. Where could she go to study them? So now she can only have some concept, but she really doesn't understand the details.
What should she do now? She knows that Sister Lin died in tears at Jia's house. She is still relatively professional about separating Baoyu and Sister Lin to stop falling in love prematurely, but what can she do about the rest? How about opening a class, designing tutorials, and spreading nine-year compulsory education to them, forget about those who have it but don’t have it?
Daiyu was also confused by the question. She carefully put the banknote back on the case and looked at Ou Mengmeng timidly. At this time, Daiyu was in her early six years. Although she was already enlightened at the age of five and was said to be smart, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min only gave birth to such a daughter in their middle age. It was so difficult to hold it in their mouths and even hold it in their hands. I was afraid of flying away, otherwise why would I have raised my child to be so carefree? In the view of Ou Mengmeng, who has been a basic educator for 30 years, this is stupid parents raising stupid children. So when asked what to learn, it’s strange that Daiyu has figured it out.
Ou Mengmeng smiled and moved her chin, "Drink some water and then take a nap."
Daiyu didn't dare to say no, so she reached out to hold the warm milk on the kang table and drank it. She climbed to the edge of the kang and lay down by herself.
Ou Mengmeng rang the bell and called for someone to come in. The person next to her knew how to do it. He helped Daiyu take off her blouse and pulled the quilt back, which really gave her a rest.
Ou Mengmeng didn't want to talk and took a nap on the other side of the kang. She was still sorting out what she had to do in her mind.
There is definitely no way to go back, so if you let yourself come, it's like those little kid novels she collected. You have to complete some tasks and fulfill other people's demands before you can go back. What is the appeal of this book? She doesn’t know what the book’s appeal is, but her appeal is to enjoy retirement! How easy it was for her to survive until retirement!
