The daily life of Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

There were not many people on board.Xing Shuang's personal attendant brought Ruyi, the Elder Master brought Fu Gui'er, and Jia Lian only brought a young servant to serve him personally.The two concubines in the family tried their best to entangle Jia Lian and wanted to come out together, but Jia Lian was hindered by Sister Feng's intimidation, and uncle Lin Ruhai's serious illness suppressed his eagerness to move, and went into battle lightly.The rest were followed by some poor women and servants, carrying things and doing things along the way.

It is worth mentioning that it was the snow geese, not the azalea, who came back with Daiyu this time.

After all, Zijuan is a servant of Rongguo Mansion, and her family, relatives, and friends are all in the capital. Daiyu is also considerate of Zijuan's daily care of her friendship, so she doesn't want to ask her to follow her around.Another acclimatization is not beautiful.

As for the snow geese, although taking care of Daiyu is not as careful as Zijuan, it is a bit rough.But faithfulness wins.Unlike Zicuckoo, although she took good care of Daiyu, it was just unavoidable that she had her own little thoughts in it.

In Xing Shuang's eyes, Zijuan is not as good as Xueyan.

Especially in the past two years, Xueyan spent a lot of time with Jixiang and saw a lot, but she didn't look timid when she first came to Rongguo Mansion.It can also scare people when you take it out.Especially since she is from the Lin family, although she has no relatives, but it is inevitable that she regards Yangzhou as her root, and the Lin family takes it more seriously.So this time, knowing that Daiyu was going back to Yangzhou, he hurriedly followed Daiyu back.

Because Lin Ruhai wrote in the letter that he was seriously ill and was in bed, no one had any intention of traveling in the mountains and rivers, and no one wanted to stop and have a rest when they encountered interesting things along the way.Just hurry up and hurry.Therefore, the atmosphere along the way seemed a little dull.

Especially on Daiyu's side, although Xing Shuang was very comforting, her old father, who had only been parted for a few years, was now seriously ill, so Daiyu couldn't help worrying.

The closer she was to Yangzhou, the more nervous Daiyu became.At a loss.

That's right, Daiyu was still young when she left Yangzhou, and she lived in the capital for several years. Now that she returns to Yangzhou, which she misses so much, she inevitably feels a sense of closeness to her hometown.Besides, she was also worried that she would hear some unbearable news when she arrived in the Lin Mansion.The mood is very complicated, there is excitement and fear, and there is a slight nervousness.The whole person seemed a little at a loss.

This is something no one else can help.Unless Daiyu arrives in Yangzhou, enters the Lin Mansion, and meets Lin Ruhai, there is nothing good to do.Therefore, Xing Shuang just took care of Daiyu's daily life.Because of the limited food on board, Xing Shuang could only find a way to change the same vegetables in several ways, trying to make Daiyu eat better and eat more, so as not to hurt her body.The others can only wait.

In this way, the boat drifted on the river for nearly a month before entering the boundary of Yangzhou.

When the boat docked at the pier, the old man hugged Brother Luo, Ruyi supported Xing Shuang, Xueyan supported Daiyu, and Jia Lian stepped off the boat one after another.After getting off the boat, everyone couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.After being on the boat for so long, it was almost suffocating to death, but now, it can be regarded as being able to get off the boat and breathe easily.

Yangzhou deserves to be a prosperous place with the reputation of "the famous capital of Huaizuo and the best place in Zhuxi".Now it was the end of the twelfth lunar month, and those who disembarked were completely exposed to the cold air.There is no shelter around, and the phoenix seems to get into the bones of people.It hurts from the cold.However, at the pier, the big boats and small boats were still parked, and the bustle of people coming and going was intense.

Xing Shuang wore a dark red gilt jacquard satin cross-collar long jacket and a silver fox light fur cloak on the outside, and she couldn't stand the coolness of the pier.The old man wore a golden-brown Shou character pattern and a silk crane cloak with foreign thread on top of the icing on the cake, wrapping Brother Luo tightly in his arms.

Daiyu was wearing a pair-breasted jacket with pink silk and silk, and a silver and white brocade and feather satin cloak with emerald patterns on the outside, but she still stomped her feet, thinking she was still cold.Xing Shuang also asked Ruyi to give Daiyu the peacock-pattern scarlet satin cloak in her luggage to keep out the wind in front of her.

Several people waited around, and Jia Lian also put on a fox fur cloak and went out to look for a carriage.

Jia Lian looked around, thinking that there would be a lot of people around the wharf, so there must be carriages for rent, so first rent a few carriages and ask the master and wife to take them to Lin's house.However, Jia Lian hadn't found the carriage yet, but he saw Lin Shen, the second housekeeper of Lin's mansion.Because Lin Shen had brought Lin Ruhai's orders to Rongguo Mansion several times to deliver New Year's gifts, Jia Lian had always received him.Therefore, Jia Lian recognized Lin Shen who had been looking around at a glance.

Jia Lian was overjoyed, and quickly waved to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen obeyed Lin Ruhai's instructions and knew that Daiyu would come back during this period, so he led people to wait here every day.It was the same today, his eyes were fixed on the passing passenger ships on the pier.However, even if Lin Shen had been staring intently, there were too many people and it was inevitable that he missed one or two.Thinking that he would not be able to wait for his young lady to come back today, Lin Shen was feeling disappointed when he saw someone waving at him, who was it not Jia Lian?

Lin Shen hastily waved at Jia Lian.Then, he walked towards Jia Lian with a few servants who followed him.As soon as they met, Jia Lian didn't have time to exchange greetings, so Jia Lian hurriedly led Lin Shen to the elder's place.

But when Lin Shenfu saw Daiyu, he knelt down and kowtowed, and then said: "The girl is back. The master has called me to come and watch every day these days, thinking that if the girl comes back, she can make the girl feel comfortable sooner." Go back home!"

Daiyu quickly helped Lin Shen up, and asked anxiously, "Uncle Lin, is my father okay now?"

Knowing that Daiyu was not in good health, Lin Shen didn't dare to say anything to make Daiyu worry, so he replied: "The master is in good health these few days, but he misses the girl all day, and some tea and dinner are not in order. Now, I I just hope that the girl will come back soon so that the master can be comforted!"

Hearing the news that Lin Ruhai was fine, Daiyu lost most of her hometown feeling in an instant, and now she just wished she could put on her wings and fly back.

Xing Shuang naturally saw it too.Then he tugged on the big man's large cuffs with his hand, motioning for the old man to say something.The pick-up has arrived, why don't you hurry up and leave, why are you standing there stupidly?

The old man let out a "hmm" and found a sense of existence.Only then did Lin Shen turn his face to look at the Elder Master, patted himself on the head abruptly, and quickly apologized, "Look at my memory, I saw that the young lady was too excited and only focused on talking to the young lady. My wife has neglected it. It's my fault, please forgive me!"

The old man cleared his throat and wanted to wave his hands, but he couldn't stretch out his hands while holding his son in his arms, so he said directly: "Okay, don't be polite, let's go quickly!"

Butler Lin responded, and hurried to the front of the group to lead the way, and led them to the place where the carriage had been prepared in advance.

Because the Lin family didn't know that Xing Shuang and the elder would come, they only came with three carriages.Now it's just a squeeze.Xing Shuang took Brother Luo and Daiyu in one car, Elder Master and Jia Lian in one car, and Housekeeper Lin took a car with gifts from Jia's mansion.The rest of the entourage rented a few carriages near the pier and went back to Lin's house together.

It was also on the carriage that Xing Shuang realized that even the stove and hot tea had been prepared in advance.I don't know whether to praise the caring of the Lin family's servants or Lin Ruhai's loving heart.

When they arrived at Lin's mansion, even Xing Shuang had to sigh, the Lin family really deserved to be a family of nobles and scholars of the Five Dynasties with profound heritage.

Even though Lin Ruhai is sick in bed now, the house is still tightly organized, and the servants perform their duties without any panic.This is the demeanor of a noble family!After entering the Lin family, Lin Cheng, the chief housekeeper of the Lin family, first received him.When it comes to guests coming to the door, the journey is full of dust and toil.First ask the servants to take the two of them and Jia Lian to the guest room to freshen up, serve some cakes and tea, and have a rest.It is also to ask Daiyu and Lin Ruhai to reunite with their father and daughter first.A few people naturally winked and didn't bother.

Besides, after Daiyu returned home, looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar environment around her felt sentimental again without mentioning it.After a little freshening up, Daiyu eagerly went to Lin Ruhai's yard to visit her long-missed father under the leadership of Lin Shen.

Lin Ruhai had received the news a long time ago, and had already changed into decent clothes before Daiyu entered the door.Inside is a royal blue brocade cotton gown with moiré patterns and flowers, and outside is a white mink fur jacket with a Buddha's head carved in green silk.He wore a dark brown hat on his head, adding a touch of elegance for no reason.After changing his clothes, Lin Ruhai held a book in his hand and sat at the desk with black lacquer sunflower pattern, as if he was studying seriously.In fact, all the minds were focused on the upcoming daughter.Where can I see it?But it didn't even turn a page.

It is only said that as soon as Daiyu entered the door, she first saw her father sitting with a good book, and her mood that had been suspended for a long time finally settled down.It's been a few years since we haven't seen each other, so Daiyu wants to come forward to give Lin Ruhai a big gift.With a sob in his mouth, he said: "The unfilial daughter Daiyu——"

However, as soon as he got up, he was only half-spoken, so Lin Ruhai interrupted him and helped him up.How could Lin Ruhai be willing to ask Daiyu to lie down?He hastily helped Daiyu up.

"How can we be so polite between father and daughter? It's enough for me to know my son's filial piety." Lin Ruhai followed.

Daiyu didn't reply to Lin Ruhai's words, but as soon as Lin Ruhai came into contact with Daiyu, Daiyu discovered something was wrong.When his father helped him up just now, the sleeves were clearly empty.Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai carefully again, and finally found that Lin Ruhai's face turned pale after all.Also, although the clothes are spirited, the cuffs and waist are unavoidably empty, which shows Lin Ruhai's thin body.

Daiyu is such a careful person, why can't she see Lin Ruhai's real situation?In an instant, she understood that her father was deliberately misunderstood that he was fine, so that she would not worry.But, how can Daiyu really not worry?He also thought that his father had always thought of himself carefully, but now that his father was seriously ill, he still had to think about himself.

I can't help you with anything other than making trouble, it's really too unfilial!For a moment, tears fell down like beads with a broken thread...
