Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

"Oh, Xiaoluzi, Xiaoluzi, you're making me laugh to death.

I can’t take it anymore, I can’t breathe from laughing.” Daiyu said with a smile, holding her stomach, “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe…

“See, Granny Cai, Miss Lin smiled.

It's all my credit, Xiao Luzi. I'll go back and claim the credit from His Majesty." Hahahaha... Xiao Luzi laughed unbridled.

"Everyone, stop laughing and come and eat. Grandma Cai has just prepared the meal. It will get cold if you don't eat it now." Xiaowan said as she and Xiaoling put away the dishes.

Everyone happily came to the table and sat down. Daiyu and Granny Cai sat in the main seats, followed by Xiaoluzi, Xiaoling, and Xiaowan.

"Miss, this is chicken stewed with wild ginseng. The prince specially asked Xiao Luzi to bring some high-quality wild ginseng. Come and have a chicken drumstick."

As Granny Cai spoke, she served Daiyu another bowl of chicken soup.

Daiyu took a bite of the chicken leg, picked up the spoon, and took a sip of the chicken soup, "Wow, it's so fresh, Grandma Cai's food is so delicious." Daiyu also picked up a chicken wing for Grandma Cai.

"It's delicious, really delicious." Grandma Cai praised the delicious chicken soup.

"Hmph, no one cares about me anymore, and no one picks food for me." Xiao Luzi said with a pout.

"Oh, you little monkey, are you jealous? Do you want to get married? I will not let you be single." Grandma Cai said jokingly.

"You old woman, you are talking nonsense. Not at all!" Xiao Luzi covered her face and blushed in embarrassment.

After everyone finished their meal, Granny Cai took two maids and went downstairs. Xiao Luzi told Daiyu that the prince had something to give her.

"Young lady, this is a dress made of the finest silk, made overnight by the embroiderer in our mansion.

These are all kinds of pastries, made overnight by the kitchen manager and his cooks," Xiao Luzi said excitedly.

Daiyu looked at the piles of clothes, rouge and powder, and said to Xiao Luzi with a smile, "When you go back, tell the prince that he has taken so much trouble."

Daiyu picked up a piece of cake and looked at Xiaoluzi in confusion.

"Oh, this is a bite-sized pastry, try it, girl, it's delicious.

First, add flour and lard to boiling water to knead the dough, then use cold water to mix the dough to the right hardness and set it aside.

Then fry the sesame seeds, chop the green onions, mix the sesame seeds and green onions together, and pinch them into small pieces.

Then add sugar to the small dough and bake it in the oven." Xiao Luzi explained with great interest.

Daiyu picked up a piece and tasted it. It was really crispy and melted in the mouth. It was delicious and sweet but not greasy.

Daiyu looked at the dazzling array of pastries, each one filled with curiosity.

Date paste peach blossom cake, Poria cocos cake, donkey rolls, yokan, osmanthus cake...

Daiyu thought to herself, I'll ask Xiaolingzi and the other girl to put these cakes away so that everyone can eat them when they have time.

"There are also several sets of clothes, made according to the most popular styles, with materials and colors that girls like.

Girl, this is top-quality donkey-hide gelatin, it replenishes Qi and blood and beautifies your complexion. Remember to ask the maids to put some in when they make you some Tremella soup."

Xiao Luzi took out two more boxes of donkey-hide gelatin and handed them to Daiyu.

Finally, Xiao Luzi took out a brocade box and a purse.

Daiyu opened the brocade box in confusion. Inside was a hairpin made of pure gold in the shape of a peacock spreading its tail. The peacock's eyes and tail on the hairpin were inlaid with gems of various colors.

"There is also a jade ruyi made of mutton-fat white jade.

Our prince said that the girl doesn't like cosmetics or vulgar things like gold and silver, so he specially asked someone to draw a picture for her and bought the finest gems and mutton-fat jade to make it."

Xiao Luzi said: "The golden hairpin with the peacock's tail spread out is for the girl to blossom with beauty like a peacock. The jade ruyi is for the hope that your relationship will be auspicious and prosperous, and last a long time."

Daiyu opened the purse again and a letter fell out.

Daiyu picked up the letter and read softly:

Yu'er: Show me your kindness in this letter. I miss you so much since we last met.

Since returning home, I have been busy with many things and have been exhausted.

I said it would take three to five days, but who knew it would take more than half a month.

Although there are many beauties in the mansion, none of them are as gentle and demure as Yu'er. I hope Yu'er will put on more clothes, eat more, take good care of herself and don't miss me.

The mountains and rivers are difficult to cross, who will pity the one who misses his lover?

A chance meeting brings tears to our eyes.

May we fly together and be happily married.

I hope Yu'er is safe and waits for my return.

Daiyu closed the letter and burst into tears.

Xiao Luzi quickly comforted her, "The prince will come after he finishes his business, girl, don't cry."

Hearing Daiyu's crying, Granny Cai came with Xiaoling and Xiaowan.

"What's wrong, Xiao Luzi, what's wrong with the girl?" Grandma Cai asked with concern.

"Mother-in-law, the prince asked me to give the girl a letter, and she started crying after reading it." Xiao Luzi said helplessly.

"It's okay, Granny Cai, I'm fine.

No one has ever cared about me so much, not only Your Majesty, but also you, everyone cares about me so much.

I feel that no matter what my background is, I am very happy now." Daiyu forced a smile, she missed the prince.

Seeing that it was getting late, Grandma Cai took everyone downstairs.

Daiyu lay quietly on the bed, looking at the moon outside the window, lost in thought.

The soul is in pain from flying for eternity, and it is difficult for the soul to reach the mountains and rivers in dreams.

Moon, oh moon, please tell the prince about my concern and love.

Daiyu thought about it and suddenly found that she could remember poems and had scattered memories of her previous life.

She was not sure if it was her former home, with the silver-haired old lady, two clever little girls, and some green bamboos.

But it's just some scattered memories.

Daiyu fell asleep in a daze.

"My friends, everyone, please be quiet for a moment.

Listen to me, listen to me...

There was a seductive woman on the stage, wearing exaggerated makeup, huge earrings, and a purple gauze dress that revealed her deep cleavage.

She kept clapping her hands to signal everyone to be quiet, but no one listened to her.

Above the stage were curtains of various colors, with the curtains drawn up, and people on the left and right sides were blowing gently, creating the feeling of dancing in the wind.

Petals of various colors were scattered on the floor of the stage, and for the effect, several kerosene lamps were lit under the stage.

"My dear friends, let's welcome this month's top courtesan, okay? Everyone, please welcome," said the charming woman on the stage with a smile.

That’s right, she is Qian’s mother.

She is the madam of Zuihonglou, and tonight is the night when Zuihonglou selects its top courtesan every month.

Just then, two little girls came onto the stage, accompanying a veiled girl.

The girl was wearing a long pink gauze dress, her hair was combed into a bun like the Hu people, and her long hair was braided into countless three-strand braids and draped over her head.

She also wore a silver crown with sparkling gems and a veil on her face, which was full of mystery.

"Did you see this? This is the most beautiful courtesan in our Zuihonglou. Do you think she is pretty?" Mother Qian shouted loudly.

"Beautiful, beautiful, the girl is so beautiful!"

The people in the audience started to boo.

"Mother Qian, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us the price quickly. The brothers are all waiting."

"Everyone, please be patient. Please be patient. Who will be the most beautiful lady tonight? Let's bid for her. The highest bidder wins."

Mother Qian said this with a smile as she arranged for people to drive up the price.

20 pieces of silver,

I'll pay 25 taels.

I'll give you 30.

I'll give you 50...

This is exactly the case of a ten-year dream in Yangzhou, earning the reputation of being fickle in the brothel.
