Daiyu: After being reborn, who still wants to be a yandere?
Chapter 19: A rare book
He Shuirong was wearing a white shirt today. The simple style and color brought out an unattainable sense of nobility on him.
He had such an inherently cold and aloof temperament that even a rich and powerful man like Xiao Ran couldn't even approach the same level. Lin Xi was stunned by what she saw.
Xiao Ran also realized that Lin Xi's eyes were looking out the car window.
He also followed her gaze and looked out -
Daiyu returned the scissors and walked out of the flower shop. She was wearing a white dress with a few roses embroidered on the hem, which bloomed as she walked.
He Shuirong stepped forward, and Daiyu naturally reached out to take the bouquet.
"It's okay, I'll hold it for you."
The man's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of tenderness.
A rose petal fell on her hair, fluttering in the wind like a butterfly wing.
Xiao Ran saw this scene in the car and couldn't help but frowned:
Why does that girl look a bit like Lin Daiyu? Who is that guy? Why did he give her flowers?
Lin Xi was even more stunned. That was her sister? Why was she here?
Moreover, there is such a beautiful lady standing beside him.
"Knock, knock, knock", there is a sound of knocking on the car window.
"Xixi, you guys are here?"
Lin Chenhui's voice interrupted them.
Lin Xi pointed to the alley entrance and asked:
"Dad, I think I saw my sister just now?"
Lin Chenhui thought of the Lin Daiyu he saw at the school gate just now. Not only did this rebellious girl not say hello to him, she also walked with a boy.
Seeing Xiao Ran in the car, Lin Chenhui kept silent and frowned, fearing that the Xiao family's reputation would be damaged.
Daiyu and the other two returned to the Ye family's old house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mr. Zheng sitting at the stone table, setting up the chess board and studying a chess manual in his hand.
As soon as he saw Daiyu coming in, he jumped up from the stone bench and said:
"Xiaoyu, you're finally done with school!"
Daiyu raised her eyes to look at him. She had already guessed what he was thinking, but she pretended to know nothing:
"Hello, Grandpa Zheng."
After saying hello, she didn't stay, but went into the house and took out a bamboo basket, scissors and a mortar.
Lin Xi is a Chinese medicine practitioner and has all the utensils and materials for making Chinese medicine at home.
Mr. Zheng had already set up the dragon gate formation, but he never expected that Daiyu would not appreciate it at all.
"Xiaoyu, play the next round with me."
Daiyu waved the utensils in her hands and said:
"Grandpa Zheng, I'm busy now."
Mr. Zheng was obviously not very happy. His old face was flushed with excitement at first, but the next second it turned as pale as a frost-bitten eggplant.
Daiyu didn't want to dampen his mood, so she just said comfortingly:
"Grandpa Zheng, how about you find someone to play with you in the next game?"
Mr. Zheng snorted coldly. He came all the way here to play chess, but couldn't find anyone willing to play with him.
Daiyu's eyes wandered around and finally landed on He Zimo. She smiled and pulled the little guy:
"Little idiot, will you play the next round with Grandpa Zheng?"
He Zimo waved the bouquet of flowers in his hand, indicating that he was busy.
Daiyu pointed to the pear tree beside the courtyard wall:
"Play the next round with him, and I'll treat you to a pear later."
The little guy then reluctantly stuffed all the roses into He Shuirong's hands.
He Shuirong held the flowers and walked to the courtyard wall with Daiyu.
Daiyu held the scissors and began to pick flowers——
She picked the petals carefully and put the fresh petals and flower cores into the basket.
He Shuirong followed her movements and picked flower petals together.
He was puzzled, for he had originally thought that Daiyu wanted to put the flower vines in a vase for admiration, and had never considered that she wanted to take the petals off.
"What are you going to do with the petals?"
Daiyu looked up and gave him a sly smile:
"Mix the rose saltpeter."
"Rose saltpeter? Is it the one that Lin Daiyu made in Dream of the Red Chamber?"
Daiyu was somewhat surprised when she heard this.
She checked Jingxi, Taojin, and Pinshaoshao, but didn't see any rose saltpeter. She thought that rose saltpeter was not available in this dynasty.
Seeing that her family had all the ingredients and tools needed to prepare various ointments, she began to think about preparing her own medicine.
How does this Mr. He know about Rose Saltpeter?
"Mr. He, do you know Rose Saltpeter?"
He Shuirong looked down at her and wondered if this was difficult?
He still said seriously:
"In Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu prepared a medicine to treat cheek allergies. I only know the name, but I don't know the specific method of preparation."
Daiyu asked:
"Have you read Dream of the Red Chamber?"
“I just bought this book.”
Daiyu had no idea that in modern society, A Dream of Red Mansions is one of the four great classics. She just asked curiously:
“Is this book easy to buy?”
She thought that both Lin Xi and the original owner quoted poems from Dream of the Red Chamber, and the original owner was expelled from school because he was found to have plagiarized. Logically, this should be a niche book.
The little kid sitting on the stone table and scratching his head heard Daiyu asking He Shuirong about the issue of selling books. He looked over in surprise, as if he was looking at a monster.
asked:
"Sister, have you never been to a bookstore?"
**
They picked out the roses and took them to the stream to wash them.
After draining the water, place it in a stone mortar and grind it with a pestle to extract the clear flower juice.
Then add silver saltpeter, essential oil and other materials for fumigation.
Finally, spread them out on a drying tray...
Bai Fan saw Dai's movements were so smooth and flowing that he knew it would be impossible for her to perform like this if it wasn't for her years of experience.
She looked a little surprised.
The granddaughter is at the Lin family, and usually goes to school. Although Lin Chenhui suggested that it would be better for her to work on the assembly line as a little sister earlier, the factory's process and technology are very different from manual preparation of medicines.
“After drying, mash it up and you can use it.”
Daiyu stared at the drying plates, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
Bai Fan had already prepared dinner and invited everyone to eat together.
"Well, Xiaoyu, let's eat first."
Old Master Zheng was still sitting on the stone table, looking across at him with confidence. He Zimo hung his head, looking dejected.
Daiyu smiled at him and said:
"Little idiot, eat first."
The little guy shook his head and stared at the chessboard. He thought about it in various ways but couldn't find a way to crack it.
He Shuirong walked up to He Zimo, stretched out his hand and knocked on the stone table. The little guy stood up with an unhappy look on his face.
He kicked his legs and walked to the restaurant to have dinner with Daiyu and the others.
Mr. Zheng also sat at the table.
The Zheng family is not far from the Ye family.
Principal Zheng and his colleagues live in Nancheng City.
Mr. Zheng is old. He likes to play chess, grow flowers and raise birds. He lives alone in Shuangxi Town.
Lin Chenhui also found out the location of the Zheng family's old house from Principal Zheng.
To go from Nancheng No. 6 Middle School to the Zheng family’s old house, you need to take Jiuqu Alley and pass by the Ye family along the way.
Jiuqu Alley is quite crowded. Although cars can drive in, it is not easy to pass other cars. There is an open space next to the Ye family's old house, and people usually pass each other in the open space.
When passing by Ye's house, there was a car coming out in front, so the driver stopped the car and asked Lin Chenhui:
"Boss Lin, it looks like it's hard to park in the alley. Should we park here first and then walk in?"
This is an area with residential houses. There was a thunderstorm at noon, and a lot of mud and water accumulated on the bluestone road.
Lin Xi looked at the pair of new white Nike shoes on her feet and shook her head subconsciously:
