Qing Wu Red House

But she said that Daiyu didn't go to eat with Jiamu that day, but just ate some bird's nest.

In the evening, Baoyu came again, but this time he changed into another ordinary dress. As soon as he came in, he saw Daiyu crouching on the couch, and said, "I have an octagonal palace lantern, and the surrounding fans are all transparent. Made of high-quality glass, it is the brightest for reading at night, I will ask Xiren to bring it over tomorrow. You should rest today, and be careful not to hurt your eyes."

"Come here so late, what's the matter?" Daiyu put down her book and sat up.Greeting Zicuckoo to serve tea.

Baoyu waved his hand: "Don't be too busy. When I came out, Qingwen had already made Fenglu tea. The tea needs to be washed with three or four waters to be fragrant. I will drink it when I go back." Baoyu put the food box in his hand on the table Above: "My sister didn't go to eat again, thinking that the people below would definitely clean my sister's belly. My sister is weak, but she can't be hungry. I saw that the porridge my wife used at night was really light and delicious, so I brought some for my sister. My sister took advantage of it. Drink it hot."

Daiyu bowed her head, saying that it would be false to say that she was not moved. Here, apart from her grandmother's love for her, Baoyu is probably the only one who cares about herself every day, and thinks of herself everywhere: "I'm sorry." The voice is very soft.

Baoyu looked at Daiyu's sad look with her head bowed, and couldn't help being crazy for a while.It took a while to react, and ran out, yelling again and again: "Sister, use it quickly, there is no need to send back the bowls and chopsticks, I will let Musk Moon pick them up tomorrow."

Daiyu looked at Baoyu's back as she walked away quickly, with a smile on her eyebrows.Nanny Song couldn't help sighing when she saw it outside the house.This second master Bao really didn't say anything to the girl. If this can be done in this life, it would be a good thing for the girl.After all, in this world, it is easy to find priceless treasures, but hard to find love?It's just that the second master Bao is too volatile.

No, Nanny Song felt that the Second Master Bao was unstable, and Baoyu and Daiyu had an awkward dispute the next day. If you want to say the reason, it still has something to do with that Bao girl.It turned out that Baoyu said that Daiyu's sharp teeth and sharp mouth made the little girls in the mansion dislike her, so she should be a little more kind in the future.Daiyu didn't like to hear it anymore, and invited Baoyu out with a grumpy mouth, making Nanny Song a little dumbfounded.

Baoyu was even more dumbfounded. He felt that he obviously cared about Daiyu and valued Daiyu more in his heart, so he said this. He didn't expect Daiyu to be so angry, so he was a little unhappy.Seeing that Baoyu was in a bad mood, Jia Mu took Baoyu to Ningfu to relax.Baoyu, who has passed the age of 12, is a young adult, but he still hangs around in the two mansions all day long, and he doesn't know when he will be able to enter school.

In September of the fifth year of Hongzheng, Lin Haorui and Chu Tianyou stepped into the territory of Shangjing again, and Chu Tianyou plunged into Fahua Temple to complete the work of teaching Buddhist scriptures assigned by his master.Lin Haorui pays another visit to Jia's mansion with something for Daiyu.

When I saw Daiyu again, she was obviously getting closer to me. Although she was still a little alienated, Lin Haorui didn't mind. After all, it might not be easy for anyone to suddenly accept a brother who appeared out of thin air.In the past three years, he and Lin Ruhai had established a father-son relationship, but he had no chance to get along with Daiyu.

"How is my sister?" Lin Haorui asked after watching the girls put away all the things he brought over.

"Well, Nanny Song and the others took care of her very wholeheartedly!" Of course Daiyu knew what Lin Haorui's voice-over was.Lin Haorui raised his eyebrows, this little girl is really sensitive, he just asked casually, and didn't mean to have a voice-over.

"Nurse Song's letters often mentioned that my sister was not used to eating here. I was very anxious. When I was about to leave the house, a list from Mrs. Chu gave me some inspiration!" Lin Haorui said, taking it from his sleeve He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu looked down, and there were some small earthen remedies for treating coughs, such as radish boiled eggs, rock sugar steamed pears, rock sugar kumquats and so on.Can't help laughing: "Where did brother get these?"

Hearing Daiyu's "brother", Lin Haorui couldn't help but smile, it was really not easy: "The person who gave me this thing was the mother of my brother from the same school. After I got this thing, I didn't think of it. Can it cure a cough? After all, Nanny Song said that my sister only coughed a few times in the next day, and what I thought of was my sister's great cause of eating."

"The great cause of eating?" Daiyu repeated: "What is the great cause of eating? Brother is exaggerating." Daiyu knew what Lin Haorui meant, but it was not easy to start a fire alone in Jia's mansion. I won't turn a blind eye.But Daiyu didn't think about it at all. Mother Jia did it on purpose. Thinking of her future plans, Mother Jia had no choice but to force Daiyu to get rid of this eating habit.Otherwise, with Jia Mu's status, it would be no problem to build a large kitchen, let alone a small kitchen.

"How can you exaggerate? As the saying goes, people are iron and food is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." Lin Haorui said seriously.

But Daiyu burst out laughing: "Where did my brother hear such words, it's really interesting." Lin Haorui replied: "That's also what Tianyou said, oh, it's my brother from the same school, he often makes nonsense. Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about our great cause of eating!"

"Brother!" Daiyu called softly, a little naive, but also a little worried, and couldn't help but look around.

Lin Haorui smiled, covered his mouth slightly, and lowered his voice: "Sister, don't be afraid, brother said it to those people on purpose, as long as the old lady turns a blind eye, our affairs will be much easier. " After finishing speaking, he deliberately said loudly: "Let Xiuju come in."

"This Xiuju is the daughter of the shopkeeper of the Ping'an Hall near our house. Due to some special reasons, the Ping'an Hall collapsed, and Xiuju asked me to buy it. Although my sister is young, she can cook, especially medicinal food. It's simply unique." Lin Haorui introduced.

"Ping An Hall?" Daiyu was a little confused, everything in Yangzhou had gradually become blurred in her memory.

"Girl, Ping'an Hall is a pharmacy, which was passed down from my grandfather, but my father only wanted to be a cook, so the pharmacy was not doing well, and because it owed a lot of gambling debts, it closed down." Xiuju said. Articulate.

"Where are your parents?" Daiyu was curious.

"I've moved back to my hometown in Suzhou. Because I don't have the travel expenses, I've been sold." Xiuju said a little darkly, but after a while she raised a bright smile: "The uncle has already told me about the girl's problem in detail. Please don't worry, girl, Xiuju will definitely do well."

Daiyu didn't say anything, her elder brother sent her another girl.Originally, because there was a Mu Qing in her room, Sister Feng couldn't arrange Mu Qing's monthly money, so she followed the monthly rules of Zi Juan and others, and became her big girl, and now another one came.And the three girls in Jia's mansion are all arranged by two big girls. If this continues, I don't know how those gossip women will chew their tongues.

"Sister, don't worry. I have already formally reported this person to the old matriarch, and there is no need for a monthly order from Jia's mansion. I have also resigned, including Song Nanny and Mu Qing's. Originally, I also said no to Zijuan's. , but the old lady doesn’t agree, so I’ll let it go. But our family still has to give them a three-month routine. As for the Jia’s, let a few girls buy more makeup powder.” Lin Haorui said, and said to Zicuckoo standing aside said: "My father and I both know that Miss Zicuckoo is very dedicated, but we still have to ask Miss Zicuckoo for some things."

"My lord, you're being polite, just give me your orders." Zijuan couldn't help being a little dazed when she heard that she would get another monthly report.

"The girl is a child of Jia's family, so she naturally has her own contacts. If Xiuju needs any ingredients in the future, she will have to trouble Miss Zijuan to bring one or two from outside the house. Of course, it doesn't matter if it is more expensive than outside, everything depends on my sister. Use it well." Lin Haorui said lightly, Zijuan was slightly taken aback, what does the uncle mean, and he clearly told himself that there is money to take.Zicuckoo hesitated and didn't think about how to answer.Lin Haorui didn't say anything more, but said to Daiyu again: "I guess my sister will like this thing." After speaking, he handed Daiyu a set of books.

In fact, Daiyu didn't quite understand the purpose of her brother's flipping arrangement, she looked at the book in her hand with some confusion, the title of which was Calling Xingchi's Notes.The author naturally calls out the travelogue, which is the type of travel notes. Daiyu was attracted by the opening chapter after a cursory look.Sincerely thank Lin Haorui: "Thank you brother for thinking about me."

"Hey, I have been alone since I was a child. I saw the neighbors next door always bring this and that to my sister. Although I didn't say it, I was envious in my heart. It's a pity that my sister is far away from home, and the messenger is not always good. Things. But these are nothing, when my sister returns home, my brother will definitely search around for good things and give them all." Lin Haorui said with some half-truth.Half of it was to make Daiyu happy, and the other half was to make plans to take Daiyu out of Jia's mansion in the future.

Daiyu smiled, but she really yearned for such a life in her heart.

On that day, Lin Haorui still didn't leave a meal at Jia's mansion, nor did he tell Daiyu about going home for the New Year. Since there are still so many days left, it's not good for the little girl to think about it for nothing.In the evening, Daiyu was a little embarrassed to mention Xiuju's matter to Jiamu. Jiamu patted Daiyu's hand and smiled, but did not comment.But she assigned a task to Daiyu, asking her to help Feng girl copy the account books. Daiyu didn't know if this task was public, but Feng girl didn't come to her with great fanfare, so she kept silent.

And that Xiuju is also a wonderful person, after Xueyan led her to familiarize herself with the environment, she realized that many of her abilities might be useless.There is only one hut in Jiamu's yard for boiling water, because Jiamu lives with Baoyu and Daiyu, and almost all the noble people in Jia's mansion are here, so there is enough firewood, and there are eight stoves alone. But there is only a stove, which can be used to boil water and warm bird's nest.

Xiuju naturally knows why the uncle sent her here all the way, if she can't improve the girl's diet when she comes, then she has committed a heinous crime.So, she quickly figured out a countermeasure, asked Zijuan to discuss it carefully, and asked someone to buy a few casserole pots and panel knives, and kept them in her room, and spent some money for the mother-in-law who boiled water. Wife, asked them to spare a stove for Daiyu's exclusive use. The old woman had no reason to refuse after taking the money, so she readily agreed.

Therefore, Daiyu was pleasantly surprised to find that her food became richer, sometimes it was millet porridge, sometimes vegetable soup, sometimes vegetarian meatballs, and sometimes even boiled white crucian carp soup.Daiyu was very curious about how she did it, but seeing her and Zijuan whispering for a while, she gave up the idea of ​​asking.Anyway, no matter how the two girls toss about, she is only responsible for eating.

Those two girls were quite capable of tossing around. At the end of September, when the weather turned cold, Daiyu drank pear water with rock sugar and ate boiled eggs with radishes. Although she still coughed unavoidably for a few days, she was much better than last year. .It just so happened that Jiamu also had some cough two days ago, so she ordered Zicuckoo to bring some to Jiamu.

When Zicuckoo came to Jia Mu's room, Jia Mu was taking a nap.Zijuan gave the things to Hu Po and came to talk to Yuanyang.Yuanyang was sitting in front of Jiamu's couch, embroidering a handkerchief. When Zijuan came in, she put down the handkerchief and came out: "How come your son has the time to come here now? Has Miss Lin ever slept?"

"Snow geese are watching." Zijuan pulled Yuanyang away from the people around, and handed Yuanyang a nobile: "Here, the style in the south."

Yuanyang looked at the well-made gold hairpin, two mandarin ducks were vividly carved on the head of the hairpin, it was so lifelike, she couldn't help admiring: "It's not ordinary, it was given by the Lin family?" Zijuan nodded: "Yes, I gave it to you. " Yuanyang was stunned, and handed it back: "It's so expensive, I don't want it." Zijuan stuffed it back again: "Why are you being polite to me? Look at this style, it is clear that your name is implied. Pick it up and have a look, this is not typical, so let me give it to you? To say that this uncle of the Lin family is really interesting."

After talking about seeing the mandarin duck, she still had some doubts, and said: "Take it at ease, and I also rewarded me with a set of gold inlaid jade head and a gold bracelet. That's why I said that this hairpin was prepared for you. But let me send it out by my hand."

Yuanyang shook his head: "The Lin family's uncle is too careful, with the old lady on top, who can make Miss Lin look down."

"It's less of a matter of holding high and stepping low. Lin Zi is big and has all kinds of things. It's not like you don't know. It's ugly to say what our girl said a few days ago." Zijuan said a little angrily.Although Zijuan was born in a family, he was lonely since he was a child. His mother died young, his father remarried, and his younger brothers and sisters were not close to Zijuan, so Zijuan always lamented that he was a piece of duckweed.

"Don't worry, those people don't dare to make trouble when the old lady is here." Yuanyang comforted: "However, in the past two days, your movement has been a little big." Zijuan raised her eyebrows: "You know all about it?" Yuanyang smiled wryly : "How can there be any secrets in this mansion?"

In recent days, Zicuckoo's generous family of Tuolin Zhixiao and the servants in the outer courtyard brought some things, leaving a lot of oil and water, which aroused everyone's ideas.At this moment, I was thinking about being able to hook up with Zicuckoo.

"But this is also ordered by Uncle Lin. You don't know. When the uncle explained to me, he said bluntly, of course, it is not afraid of being a few cents more expensive than outside. Is this not obvious? I was stupid at the time." Zijuan smiled.Yuanyang also smiled: "This uncle of the Lin family is really a wonderful person."

After dinner, Yuanyang also said this sentence to Jia Mu, and told Jia Mu what happened to Miss Lin these days as a joke.Unexpectedly, Mother Jia didn't smile, but sighed slightly.

"I heard that this brother from the Lin family has passed the children's examination this year, and I think he will be promising in the future." Yuanyang said with a smile.Jia's mother sighed: "No matter how promising you are, you will have no fate with our family. It's not a good thing to talk about changing relatives."

Yuanyang sighed quietly, it seems that this granddaughter is definitely not as precious as her grandson.

Lin Haorui and Chu Tianyou stayed in Shangjing for about half a month. During this half month, Lin Haorui visited Daiyu every now and then, and gave her some delicate things, which made Daiyu very happy.Baoyu also took Lin Haorui to meet some of his friends. Although Lin Haorui and Baoyu didn't get along very well, Baoyu believed that sister Lin's elder brother was his relative, so he wanted to do his best to be a landlord and wait for Lin Haorui and Chu Tianyou to go together. When he went to Tianjin, he even set up a banquet to see him off, but Lin Haorui was still the only one who went to the banquet, and Chu Tianyou, who was also a disciple of Zen Master Huijing, had no chance to meet him.

On this day, Daiyu and Baoyu dismantled the Nine Chains together, and Baoyu talked about Chu Tianyou: "Cousin Lin's brother really looks like a little monk." Daiyu looked at him curiously: "Little monk? Is this Why?" Baoyu shook her head and said, "Staying in the temple all day long, listening to plays and drinking too much, and the whole body is clean, isn't it a little monk?" Daiyu smiled coquettishly after hearing this explanation. endlessly.

At this time, Zhou Rui's family came to deliver the palace flowers, Daiyu saw the empty box, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Is it just for me, or for all the sisters?" Zhou Rui's family knew that Miss Lin was not forgiving. He hurriedly said: "The girls have them all, and they have already sent them over. This is Miss Lin's." Daiyu snorted softly, but didn't pick up the box, but Baoyu was curious, so she took it and looked carefully. Daiyu looked at Baoyu's box. Looking at it, he chuckled: "If you like it, please trouble sister Zhou to take it for Xiren and the others."

Zhou Rui's family smiled: "I heard that this is the style in the palace. It's better for Miss Lin to keep it for herself."

Daiyu glanced at Zhou Rui's house, and smiled lightly: "Depending on its shape, it's just a fake flower with ostentatious appearance." Zhou Rui's family smiled shyly, put away the box and went to Baoyu's house to look for attackers.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-October, and Daiyu received a message from Lin Haorui from Henan Mansion, saying that when she returned to Yangzhou, she would come to pick her up to celebrate the New Year with her.Daiyu has been extremely happy since receiving the news, thinking about what gifts to bring her father every day.Baoyu, on the other hand, was very reluctant and kept making noises about Jia Mu wanting to go with Daiyu. How could Jia Mu be willing to let Baoyu suffer from the long journey? The father wanted to pick up his daughter for a New Year's reunion, but she had no reason to stop her.

So these days, Baoyu reads and writes with Daiyu all day long, causing Nanny Song to stop her homework, and Daiyu is also a little bit reluctant to leave Baoyu, after all, only Baoyu in this Jia's mansion always takes her to heart, Take care of her in every detail.Who knows, people are not as good as heaven is, Daiyu didn't wait for Lin Haorui to pick her up, but waited for a bad news.
