The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

The carriages of Lin's mansion had already been waiting on the pier, and when they saw Xueyan Zijuan helping Daiyu out of the cabin, all the servants of Lin's mansion knelt down in unison and shouted loudly: "Slave (servant) Welcome Miss back home."

Hearing this familiar local accent, Daiyu's hand on Xueyan Zijuan's arm trembled slightly, her eyes were full of tears. She left her hometown when she was young and hadn't heard the sound of her hometown for a long time.Knowing that Daiyu has always been sentimental, Zijuan hurriedly comforted her: "Girl, a family reunion is a happy event, so don't be sad anymore."

Daiyu stepped off the diving board, only the servants of the Lin family stood up, and a housekeeper's daughter-in-law came forward to meet her, and said with a sharp smile: "I hope for the day and night, but I hope that the young lady will come back. As soon as the young lady returns, the master will definitely get better." of."

Daiyu took a step forward and held the woman's hand and called Aunt Huiyun with tears in her eyes! "This daughter-in-law was originally the personal maid of Daiyu's mother, Jia Min. She was the same sister as Jia Min's master and servant, and later married Lin Yi, the housekeeper of the Lin family. Jia Min has been in poor health since she gave birth to Daiyu. All kinds of affairs are handled by Huiyun.

Lin Yi's daughter-in-law looked at Daiyu carefully, she saw that Daiyu was thin and thin, although she was covered with a light veil, she could vaguely see that her complexion was very pale, showing the appearance of a long-term illness.Lin Yi's daughter-in-law immediately felt dissatisfied with Jia's family. Jia's family is also a big family in the capital, and there are a few good doctors who are acquainted in the imperial hospital, but they don't hire a good doctor for the young lady. It can be seen that no one in Jia's mansion really cares about the young lady. Seeing Daiyu so weak, Lin Yi's daughter-in-law feels distressed from the bottom of her heart.

"My dear lady, it's windy outside. Get in the car and let's go home. It's not too late to ask any questions you want when you go home." The winter in Yangzhou is not cold, but Lin Yi's daughter-in-law sees Daiyu Wearing a white fox cloak, but trembling slightly, she hurriedly supported Daiyu's arm and said distressedly.

Got in the car and drove all the way, crossed Yangzhou Street, and arrived at the Lin Mansion not long after, Daiyu got off the car and saw the servants in the mansion greeted him outside the door, but Zimo and Shuyan, who were serving her father personally, were not here, Daiyu felt a pang in her heart Urgently, he hurriedly called out the kneeling servants, lifted his skirts and ran to his father's bedroom.Zijuan had never been to Lin's mansion before, so she didn't know the way at all, so she shouted in a hurry: "Girl, slow down, don't fall..." Xueyan knew where Daiyu was going by looking at the direction, and hurriedly chased after her .

Huiyun shook her head slightly and sighed, this little master is meticulous and intelligent, and he can't always hide it from her.Huiyun grabbed Zijuan and said: "Miss Zijuan, miss is going to see the master, you don't have to worry. I'm tired from the boat ride all the way, you go to settle down first."

Zijuan knew that Huiyun was Jia Min's dowry maid back then, and now she is the lady in charge of Lin's mansion, so she hurriedly saluted and said: "Ma'am, you are too polite, Zijuan is not tired, please show me where is the girl's room, slave girl Arrange the things that the girl brought back."

Huiyun smiled and said: "Alright, Xueyan, take Miss Zijuan to Miss's room first, Lan Xinzhuying, you go and listen to Miss Zijuan's orders." The two delicate little maids who looked exactly the same took a step forward , bowed deeply to Zijuan and said: "Your servant obeys, please give orders to Miss Zijuan."

Zijuan saw too many maids, big and small, in Jia's mansion, but she had never seen such a delicate and clean little maid like Lan Xinzhuying. Juan is new here, so I need the guidance of my two younger sisters." The four maids walked towards Daiyu's boudoir, Huiyun nodded lightly, let the servants disperse, and went to perform their duties.She herself walked to Lin Hai's bedroom. When Daiyu saw Lin Hai who was seriously ill, she would definitely cry a lot, so she hurried to comfort him.

"Daddy..." Daiyu rushed to the door of Lin Hai's bedroom, and saw Zimo carrying a spit box to pick up the curtain, and Lin Hai was half lying on the bed, only to see him with gray hair and a thin face, placed under the quilt The outer hand is so thin that there is no trace of flesh, only the skin and bones are left.Daiyu's eyes were sore, and big teardrops flew down. Zimo bumped into Daiyu holding the spittoon box, and couldn't help being stunned. He hurriedly hid the spittoon box behind him, but Daiyu, who was sharp-eyed, saw a hint of darkness. Red blood.Daiyu rushed to Lin Hai's bed, took Lin Hai's hand with both hands and cried out sadly: "Daddy, the unfilial daughter is back!"

Hearing Daiyu's cry, Lin Hai trembled, opened his eyes with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is Yu'er back?"

Daiyu put her face on Lin Hai's hand, cried and said, "Daddy, Yu'er is back, it's because Yu'er is unfilial..."

"Silly boy, there is no one who doesn't get sick, don't cry, come, sit next to Daddy, let Daddy take a good look at it." Lin Hai wiped away Daiyu's tears with trembling hands, and said softly.

Daiyu sat in front of Lin Hai's bed. Lin Hai looked at her seriously, but she hadn't seen her for several years. Daiyu grew taller and looked more and more like Jia Min. With a sad face, Lin Hai's heart tightened, he knew that Daiyu was careful, even if she was wronged at Jia's house, she would not say it, and would just bear it silently.Lin Hai felt sore, but he could show it again. He patted Daiyu's hand lightly and said, "Yu'er, it's good to come back..." Before he finished speaking, Lin Hai coughed violently, and Daiyu hurried down The bed stood at the head of Lin Hai's bed and patted Lin Hai's back to let Lin Hai feel smooth, and Shu Yan held the sputum box to catch Lin Hai's phlegm.

Lin Hai coughed dryly for a while, but didn't spit out any phlegm. He waved his hand feebly, and said softly, "Shuyan, go down, I want to talk to Miss."

Shu Yan bowed his head and said that he had retreated, and went outside the door, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and wiped away the tears that gushed out.As soon as he looked up and saw Huiyun approaching, Shuyan said softly: "Ms. Lin, the master wants to talk to the young lady."

Huiyun stopped, and said in a low voice: "Shu Yan, master's cough is getting worse?"

Shu Yan nodded, Hui Yun frowned, and said lightly: "You are here to serve you well, don't let people get close, and don't disturb the master and lady." After speaking, Hui Yun turned around and left.The master ordered many things a few days ago, but she hasn't arranged them all properly.

"Yu'er, tell Daddy how well your grandmother's family treats you?" Lin Hai asked softly, leaning on the big autumn-colored pillow.

Daiyu knelt down in front of the bed, weeping softly: "Daddy, from the grandmother to the servants, everyone is very good to Yu'er. Daddy, don't worry about Yu'er, he will take care of himself. Yuer wants Daddy to hurry up stand up."

"Father's silly Yu'er, don't hide anything from Daddy. Tell Daddy everything. You are the only one between Daddy and your mother. Only when you are well can we feel at ease. Daddy doesn't know what's going on at your grandmother's house. Over the past few years Daddy sends 3 taels of silver and various expenses every year, have you received them all?" Lin Hai asked softly, stroking Daiyu's hair.Daiyu was stunned, Lin Hai felt it immediately, he smiled miserably, and said softly: "Yes, why did Dad forget that the money in the boiling oil pan was going up and down in the house, so how could he not be greedy?" I took the money and things from my father."

Daiyu raised her head, looked at her father with those bright red eyes, and said in a low voice: "Daddy, although they were greedy for the money from Daddy, they didn't neglect Yu'er, and every offering is the best." , Yu'er is not missing anything. Daddy, that's all in the past. Now that Yu'er comes back, she doesn't want to go anymore, she just wants to stay by Daddy's side to serve."

Lin Hai smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Yu'er, I'm afraid it's impossible. Daddy is dying of illness. Even if there are side branches in the Lin family, they are all far away. It is impossible for your grandmother's house not to take you. Yu'er, you Don't cry yet, Daddy has a lot of things to tell you, you must remember it. Only after you are arranged, Daddy will have the face to see your mother."

Daiyu was already crying like a tearful person. After hearing Lin Hai's words, she wiped away her tears, raised her head and said to Lin Hai: "Daddy, Yu'er don't listen, Yu'er doesn't want anything but Daddy."

Lin Hai was annoyed: "Yu'er, you are disobedient, Daddy is dead and blind."

Daiyu hurriedly knelt down by the bed, fell to the ground and wept, "Daddy..."

Lin Hai was about to elaborate, but he heard Shu Yan shouting outside: "Master, Second Master Lian is asking to see you."

Lin Hai sighed softly, and said softly: "Yu'er, you go to the back first, Daddy will talk to you after seeing Lian'er." Daiyu got up without a word, walked around behind the screen behind the bed, and sat on the embroidered pier. Silently wiped away tears.

Shuyan opened the curtain, Lin Cheng accompanied Jia Lian and walked in, Jia Lian took a peek, and saw Lin Hai was so thin that he lost his human shape, his face was pale and black, he looked so scary, and he was gone. Lang style.Jia Lian felt sore in his heart, quickly pulled up his robe and knelt down on his knees, and said loudly: "My nephew Jia Lian pays my respects to my uncle, and wishes my uncle a speedy recovery."

Lin Hai said weakly: "Get up, come up and talk."

Jia Lian hurriedly got up and bowed to Lin Hai's bedside. Lin Hai took a rest and said weakly, "Lian'er, thank you for your hard work."

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't say that, you'll spoil my nephew. It's my nephew's job to send my sister home. My nephew also brought a letter from the old lady. Please read it to my uncle." Jia Lian then said He took out a letter from his pocket, and put it in front of Lin Hai with both hands.

Shu Yan took it, took out the letter and spread it in front of Lin Hai. Lin Hai opened his eyes and looked at it, but he didn't see any expression on his face, so he just said lightly: "Oh, I see. Lian'er just sit down."

Jia Lian was uneasy, not knowing how Lin Hai would reply after all, he sat down beside him, and the corner of his eyes glanced at the furnishings in Lin Hai's bedroom, and saw that although the various utensils were simple but not simple, they were ancient, and they looked like excellent antiques .Jia Lian made a quick calculation in his mind, and the formation in this room alone was worth nearly 10 taels of silver. Although the Jia family was rich, it was not as good as it.Seeing the situation in front of him, Jia Lian understood the old lady's intention. He must obey the old lady's order, and no matter what he said, he had to promote what was said in the letter.

Zimo stood by and waited on him. Seeing Jia Lian's appearance, he thought to himself, "Second Master Lian's eyes are twinkling. He always looks at the furnishings. It seems that he is not a good person. He must tell the master when he turns around."

Sitting for a moment, Jia Lian saw that Lin Hai was silent, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "Uncle, what does this old lady mean... Do you think?"

Lin Hai didn't open his eyes, but said calmly, "Lian'er, you have come from a long way, go and rest first, this matter is not urgent."

Jia Lian had no choice but to get up and leave. Lin Cheng sent Jia Lian out, and Zimo said to Lin Hai angrily, "My lord, Second Master Lian always peeps at the furnishings in our house, and I don't know what his intentions are."

Lin Hai shook his head and said, "Zimo, go and tell Lin Cheng, Lin Yihui, and let them come over at night. I have something to tell you. Shu Yan, go and see if our family's Cang'er is back. Bring the letter back." Zimo Shuyan agreed and split up.Lin Hai let out a long breath and said, "Yu'er, come out."

Daiyu's tears were still wet, she bowed her head and walked out.Lin Hai handed Jiamu's letter to Daiyu, and Daiyu glanced at it quickly, a little blush appeared on her pale face, but sorrowful clouds formed between her brows again.Seeing Daiyu's expression, Lin Hai couldn't help feeling a little distressed.He said softly: "Yu'er, tell Daddy the truth, what do you think?"

Daiyu looked up at Lin Hai, hesitated for a long time, then shook her head slowly, but tears rolled down silently.Lin Hai sighed: "Yu'er, Daddy was wrong, he shouldn't have let you go to Beijing."

Daiyu said softly: "Daddy has difficulties, Yu'er understands. Yu'er only asks Daddy, can you let Yu'er stay at home now?"

"Yu'er, Daddy's body is well known to Daddy, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this winter. Once Daddy leaves, no one in the Lin family can stand up to the Jia family, and they will definitely take you back." Lin Hai said sadly, Daiyu's tears The fall became more and more turbulent, Lin Hai hurriedly wiped her tears and said: "Yu'er, birth, old age, sickness and death are common things in the world, you don't have to cry like this, the only thing Daddy can't let go of is you, don't cry, just listen to Daddy first, okay?"

Daiyu sobbed and said, "Father, please tell me."

"Yu'er, the Jia family is full of snobbish eyes. If it wasn't for making up for a shortfall back then, they would not have married your mother as their father. Once your mother is gone, they are afraid that they will break their relationship with our Lin family." I asked repeatedly to pick you up. Dad had other business at the time, so he had to agree to them, but I, Yuer, was wronged. Now if Dad passes away, the Jia family will definitely pick you up by force, and you won’t be allowed here alone. My wife has the same meaning again. I'm afraid that if we forcefully resign, it will be bad for you in the future. Dad thinks about taking it easy, but Dad doesn't agree, and he doesn't say no. Think, so that I, Yu'er, can be at peace."

When Daiyu heard this, her heart ached so much that she burst into tears and couldn't even speak.Lin Hai burst into tears, and said sadly, "Yu'er, don't cry, it's Daddy who's sorry for you."

Daiyu lay beside Lin Hai's pillow, crying out of breath, Lin Hai patted Daiyu's back and coughed violently, Daiyu hurriedly raised her head and cried, "Daddy, don't say anything, Yu'er doesn't care about anything. Listen to daddy, take a rest."

At this time Shuyan came back, holding a small bamboo tube in his hand, and whispered back outside: "Master, Cang'er is back."

Lin Hai showed joy, and hurriedly said, "Bring the letter quickly."

Shuyan entered the room and presented the bamboo tube to Lin Hai. Lin Hai tremblingly unscrewed the sealed bamboo tube, and poured out a roll of bright yellow silk book and a letter sealed with wax paint.After reading the letter, Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief, and said with relief, "That's it!" He handed the Minghuang silk book to Daiyu, and said softly, "Yu'er, open it and have a look."

Daiyu opened it and couldn't help being stunned. She looked at her father suspiciously and asked, "Daddy, what's going on?" Then take out this silk book to keep it safe, remember to keep this silk book close to your body, and don’t let anyone see it.”

Daiyu nodded, rolled up the silk book and put it in her purse, and then put the purse in her skirt, Lin Hai nodded when she saw Fang.After talking for a long time, Lin Hai had already exhausted his physical strength. He closed his eyes for a while, and then slowly said: "Yu'er, go and rest first, and come back at night."

Daiyu didn't want to leave, so Zimo persuaded softly: "Miss, you go and rest first, you are here, and the master can't rest in peace." After hearing this, Daiyu turned around and went out.
