第 8 章(1 / 2)

宝钗与众姐妹厮见一回,待礼数齐全好生坐下后,薛家大管家在外间也磕了个头,央了婆子递进话来:“我们太太说了,等大爷府试院试过了便一齐上京,还请老太太、太太们多多照拂我们姑娘。”苏嬷嬷给白鹭使了个眼色,大丫鬟上前两步:“禀老太太并诸位太太、奶奶、姑娘。因想着京师什么没有啊,所以咱们一路北上过来旁的东西竟都没带,就带了些自家收上来的胭脂香粉并绢花与各位主子赏玩,等下便送去,还望莫要嫌弃。”

白鹭话音刚落,就有个彩绣辉煌恍如神仙妃子的一个人抬手拿帕子捂着嘴“咭咭噶噶”笑起来。她里面穿了大红洋缎袄,外面罩了石青褙子,下面却又系着翡翠裙,一身大红大绿偏让她穿出了风流婉转之意。还道这是谁,原来就是那码头上来接人的琏二爷的正房太太,同样出身王家,称呼王夫人薛太太为“姨妈”的链二奶奶王熙凤。

只见她柳叶眉一弯,杏核眼一眯,点着正红口脂的樱桃小口一开便是一串子话:“我可要看看有什么好东西哩!都说南方的胭脂簪环精巧新奇远胜北地,若是有谁嫌弃尽管匀给我,少不得要狠狠用上一通才肯罢休!”

贾母坐在上首指着她笑个不停:“你这猴儿,讨东西都讨到亲戚门儿上了,也不臊得慌。宝丫头年纪小面皮薄,少不得要叫你打了秋风去,这个主儿我可得坐正喽!”

凤姐扶着身边的丫鬟就喊冤,只说是新来了个妹妹老太太就不疼她了,连点子胭脂水粉都舍不得,把厅中众人各个逗得前仰后合。待笑声渐歇,贾母对王夫人道:“家里来了娇客,住的地方可安排好了?”

王夫人站起身答道:“安排好了,因着过几日我那妹子还要携子北上,所以单独将梨香院整出来叫她们住去,也不妨碍男丁进出,恰恰合适。”贾母点点头:“姨太太也是有了春秋的,这样安排甚好,你做事妥帖,总叫人放心。”王夫人略弓了弓身才坐下,贾母又转头问宝钗道:“平日在家都做些什么?”

宝钗笑答:“之前一直在家里守孝,日日除了做针凿便是抄经念佛,挺无趣儿的。”贾母又点点头:“这方是孝顺的女孩儿了。”未几抱着身边穿了大红衣裳的宝玉摩挲几番后脑勺对宝钗道:“这是才说过的,你姨妈家的次子,名宝玉的。刚刚未曾注意,现在打眼一看竟有四五分相似,可见真真是自家的亲戚了。往后只管安心住下,姊妹间好好相处。”

宝钗起身应了,此时便有下人进来禀告午膳齐备,贾母随手指了个站在身旁的丫鬟与她:“这个丫头叫素云,平日里在我身边甚是得力。你刚来,这府里大大小小的事情都不明白,又是自己个儿在亲戚家住着怕有不好意思问的,就要她去照应着,有什么想吃想玩的只管遣了她去找你姨妈要。”那穿着豆绿衫子外面套着月白底压藕荷色宽边儿褙子的丫头一步出来福了福便引着宝钗跟在王夫人后头朝饭厅走。

贾母当先坐在一张大圆桌上,王夫人与大房的邢夫人侍立两侧,后面还跟了无数丫鬟婆子伺候着。黛玉宝玉挨着老太太左右坐下,宝钗和其他女孩坐在一处,少顷只有些杯碗盘碟细细的摩擦弄出点子响动,众人用餐时悄然无声。贾府饮食的规矩她是知道的,因此倒没闹什么笑话。寂然饭毕,贾母要躺下休息一会儿。凤姐自去料理家事,王夫人领了孀居的儿媳妇回去,留了宝钗在这里同其他女孩们说笑。女孩儿们很快便熟识起来坐在一起玩闹,独宝玉和黛玉坐在一旁蹭着头叽叽咕咕说个没完。

那宝玉,跃跃欲试着想往女孩堆里挤,然则一是宝钗睬也不睬他,二是又有许多话想要同林妹妹说,是以一会子看过来一眼,一会子又看过来一眼,直看得探春笑着冲他比了两根指头:“这多大点子功夫,你那眼睛都飞过来两三回了,还不快快端了茶赔罪!”宝玉果然就把自己的茶碗一端走过来冲宝钗鞠了一躬:“好姐姐,往日里我们顽得好时你不曾来,这次来家便住着,总要大家凑在一起才得趣儿。”

旁边苏嬷嬷的眉毛都快飞到天上去了,就没见过这么没点自觉的主儿。哪怕上等勋贵人家里男丁也没溺爱成这样的,总有十岁了还在内帷厮混,行动坐卧间竟不见一丝避讳。虽见他眼神清正应是天真无邪所致,可这举动实实要毁人清白。况且,孩子不懂事,难道家大人也不懂事来的?

不待她站出来说话,宝钗自己起身避席躲了素云身后挡住半张脸,也不去接宝玉手里的茶碗,只从桌上拿了自己的杯子抿上一口:“宝兄弟的心意我领了,这两天在江上吹风有些着凉,怕过了病气,就这样吧。”

众人看她脸色便知只是借口,宝玉讪讪端着茶碗自己也喝了一口,又不好驳她,只闷闷坐回黛玉身边拿着个玉雕的九连环玩儿起来。

众姊妹说笑一会儿,各个具说要择日去找宝钗串串门子,等贾母醒来后一齐约着去行了礼方才辞出来。

宝钗和苏嬷嬷并排走在前面,白鹭、莺儿和素云走在后面,两个小丫鬟围着素云叽叽喳喳的问,这三个倒热闹的不行。到了梨香院门口,宝钗转头对苏嬷嬷道:“烦劳嬷嬷再跑一趟,看大管家礼数齐了没好放他出去做事,再去姨妈那里道个恼。”苏嬷嬷知道她心里有计较,方才也谨慎避让着那贾宝玉,因此倒也放心,微微弯了下腰便自去了。等她前脚绕过月亮门,跟在最后头的素云就对莺儿奇道:“这嬷嬷好大的派头,行动间跟外头走动的管事们似的。”

莺儿笑嘻嘻的折了根柳枝在手里,三两下编出个精致小巧的花篮递与她道:“那是我们太太托了老亲金陵甄家老太太从宫里寻来给我们姑娘的管事嬷嬷,可严了,寻常我们都不敢惹。”素云接过花篮爱不释手翻来覆去的看,边看边道:“怪不得宝姑娘这么稳重,既有位宫里出来的嬷嬷镇着,怕不是我们那个‘混世魔王’也能改得好!”

莺儿白鹭互相看了一眼,吐着舌头笑了笑,苏嬷嬷的厉害和好处岂是一般人看得出来的?不声不响间整治得整个薛家的风气都和普通商户截然不同,是以姑娘也好,太太也好,对她都尊敬的很,就连教导大爷读书的先生也对这两个嬷嬷心服口服,都俨然是半个师傅了。

宝钗走在头前也不管后面三个丫头嚼些啥,到一处草木葱茏的月亮门边且住了住,素云立时把话头收起来小步走到头前:“姑娘随我来,梨香院得往这边走。”出了王夫人正房的小东院,往西穿过一条夹道就到了梨香院。这院子小小巧巧,约有十余间房舍,前厅后舍俱全,往外头正街上开了道门,前后隔开恰合适简单人口长住。然宝钗可不敢在这里住久,四月里哥哥也要进京合账,别好不容易往正道上挪了半步又叫这些贾家子弟带得更坏十倍。
