The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

Daiyu lives at ease in her own home, and she doesn't have to be careful. She reads when she wants to read, and plays the piano when she wants to. If she doesn't want to do anything, she just sits under the window and stares blankly, and no one will say anything.

Although there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate her in the past two days, Lin Cheng still took time to chat with Daiyu as much as possible, and the greetings three times a day in the morning, afternoon and evening were absolutely indispensable. Chengdu wanted to ask questions in person, which made Lyceum and Zhuying very lazy for a while.Apart from receiving the guests who came to congratulate her, Huiyun was also busy making clothes for Daiyu.Although Daiyu can't wear any color clothes in Xiaozhong, she can't always wear a few plain clothes.Huiyun has made more than ten or twenty sets of clothes for Daiyu in the past six months, but she still feels that it is not enough, so she keeps doing it again and again.Lin Yi put the fun and rare things collected in the past six months into two big boxes and carried them to Daiyu's yard to relieve Daiyu's boredom.Xueyan picked out some interesting ones and put them out, so that Daiyu could play with them at will.

Happy days always fly by so fast, Daiyu only felt that she had just returned home when Sister Feng brought someone to the Lin's house to pick her up.Huiyun took Sister Feng to the flower hall of the back house. Sister Feng walked all the way, seeing the servants of the Lin family dressed in plain clothes, with a peaceful expression, and elegant manners, different from the servants of other families, she couldn't help sighing in her heart: "Sure enough, it's a scholarly family. It's different from other places."

When Sister Feng came, Daiyu was playing with a white jade nine-chain chain. When Lan Xin said that Sister Feng was here, Daiyu couldn't help pouting and said, "Second sister-in-law Lian must have come to pick me up. Didn't she agree to go with me?" Uncle, aunt, and brother went together, why are you here now?" Zijuan smiled and said that the old lady must be thinking about the girl, since she hasn't seen her in the past few days, the old lady may not be able to eat well and sleep well. " Daiyu said lightly, as long as you are talking, with Lian's second sister-in-law here, you can always coax the old lady to eat too much, that's how it is there." My wife said, girl, we have been out for a long time, and we should go back."

Daiyu frowned and said, "Zicuckoo, what you said is wrong, I'm going back to my home."

Zijuan hurriedly laughed and said: "What the girl said is very true, but the old lady's place is also the girl's home. From the old lady down, who doesn't expect the girl to go back."

Daiyu sighed softly, "Forget it, let's go see Lian's second sister-in-law first."

Zhu Ying took a set of off-white clothes and said with a smile: "This is newly made by the second lady for the girl, so you can wear this."

Daiyu looked back, nodded and said, "Well, my aunt always makes clothes for me, and I haven't worn the ones I made last time."

Zhuying shakes off the clothes and puts on Daiyu. It is a wide-sleeved beige lake-pattern soft satin gown, with a few orchids embroidered on the collar and sleeves. Matched with the moonlight skirt of the same color, Daiyu looks elegant and refined.Zijuan stepped forward and said with a smile: "The second lady's hands are really skillful, this embroidery work is better than Qingwen's." Zhuying said proudly: "The second lady learned Gu embroidery, who knows that Gu embroidery in Jiangnan is unparalleled in the world. Seeing that Zhuying was just grinding her teeth, Daiyu called out, "Zhuying, go get a cup of tea, Zijuan, comb my hair."

Zijuan walked up behind Daiyu and carefully combed her black and smooth black hair, tied a homely Japanese bun, and slanted a small phoenix hairpin with a bead in it. Daiyu looked at it and said, "That's all right. There is no need to pin anything."

Zhuying brought tea, and Daiyu just took a sip, and then went to the flower hall with the azalea and snow geese.

Sister Feng was chatting with Huiyun, when she saw Daiyu swaying towards her from a distance, she hurriedly stood up to meet her, pulled Daiyu and shouted affectionately: "It looks like a fairy descending from a distance, my good sister , No matter how hard you tell my sister-in-law, I can’t get enough of you!"

Ever since Daiyu entered Jia's residence, Sister Feng has always been sincere to her, and the two have a very good relationship, so Daiyu took Sister Feng on her arm and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law will make fun of her."

Sister Feng patted Daiyu's hand and said, "My sister returned to her home, looking much better than before. It seems that my sister-in-law didn't take good care of her on weekdays, and my sister was wronged."

Huiyun hurriedly laughed and said: "Second Grandma Lian said this, which made us ashamed. Our girl has always been taken care of by Second Grandma, and we are full of gratitude. If it is said that we did not take good care of her, it was because we did not take good care of her, causing Second Grandma to worry. "

Sister Feng helped Daiyu to sit down, stroked Daiyu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, once you come home, the old lady will lose her spirits. Look, our noses are not noses and eyes are not eyes. How can we look like that?" My sister was like that when she was here, and the family laughed from ear to ear all day. I beg my sister to be merciful, and go back with my sister-in-law to coax the old lady, okay?"

Daiyu covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Second sister-in-law knows how to deceive people. Who doesn't know that you are my grandmother's pistachio. As long as you are in front of her old man, it's hard for my grandmother not to smile."

Sister Feng patted Daiyu lightly and said with a smile that I was just doing a monkey show to make me bored, but now the family is busy repairing the garden, and there are hundreds of things to do in this day, I beg my sister to take pity on me as a sister-in-law Yes, help my sister-in-law look after the old lady, thank you in advance. "

Although Daiyu originally planned to go back to Jia's mansion, when she saw what Sister Feng said, she just pushed the boat with the water, so she said lightly, "What a second sister-in-law of Lian, she is really shameless to order someone to come to our Lin's house, just look. For your begging sake, let me go with you, but... what can you thank me for?"

Seeing that Daiyu agreed to her so readily, Sister Feng felt a big stone in her heart, so she laughed and said, "Sister-in-law will get you whatever my sister wants."

Daiyu's return to Jia's house was agreed upon by everyone, so Huiyun smiled and said, "Second Grandma Lian, after all, the girl is still a girl from our family. Now you come to pick us up and let her go. Take the girl home, you can't stop her." Sister Feng laughed quickly and said, "Madam Lin, don't worry, our old lady has already said that relatives are only relatives who walk around a lot. If you don't come, we will return Please post a post."

Everyone was joking, Huiyun ordered people to pack all kinds of gifts, as well as toys, clothes and utensils for Daiyu. There were two big boxes, reluctantly sent Daiyu out, stood on the door and looked at Daiyu Huiyun went back after the car had gone far away.

Daiyu sat in a car with Sister Feng, and they were chatting, Daiyu asked, "Second sister-in-law, you look bad, but are you tired?"

Sister Feng sighed and said: "My eldest sister has been ill for a few days, but today is better. I have been taking care of her for the past few days, so I am really tired."

Daiyu nodded, and said lightly: "I was also often sick when I was a child. My mother suffered a lot in order to take care of me."

Fearing that Daiyu would be sad, Sister Feng hurriedly said, "Sister Lin, sister-in-law has something serious to tell you."

Daiyu looked at Sister Feng with wide eyes and said curiously, "Second sister-in-law, just ask if you have anything."

"That day when the attacker attacked you, the old lady and the wife severely punished her, but your Lan Xin also attacked Baoyu in the end, I'm afraid it's...you have to have an explanation in front of the old lady."

After hearing this, Daiyu's pretty face darkened, and she asked: "What does Lian's second sister-in-law think should be done with Lan Xin?"

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Sister Lin, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to punish Lan Xin, but just to remind my sister that although Lan Xin accidentally pushed Baoyu down to protect her sister, she was at fault in the end, if Lan Xin was in front of the old lady Please make amends, and this matter will be over. But if you don’t say anything, I’m afraid there will be another trouble at any time, so why bother?”

After hearing this, Daiyu's complexion eased, and she said in a muffled voice, "Lan Xin is my girl, I will ask for this crime, so that this girl won't suffer."

Sister Feng shook her head and smiled, "You are protecting them too much."

Daiyu immediately asked back, "Second sister-in-law Lian, if it were your Ping'er, wouldn't you protect her?"

Daiyu's words spoke to Sister Feng's heart. If this happened to Ping'er, she would have to protect her secretly.Sister Feng nodded and said: "Sister-in-law knows, sister Lin, don't worry, even if Lan Xin goes to plead guilty, she won't be punished. It's just to save face for Madam and Baoyu."

Daiyu nodded, knowing that Sister Feng was reminding herself because she was afraid of losing her money, so she said with a smile: "Good sister-in-law, thank you for your thoughtfulness. When I see the old lady later, I will ask Lan Xin to apologize."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "Well, my sister-in-law also helped to beat the side drums later. In fact, the old lady is more than happy when you come back, so why would you punish your girl?"

Daiyu smiled, paused for a while and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Second sister-in-law, I used to hear the old lady talk about dispensing medicines, should our medicines be delivered to a shop outside or be prepared at home?"

Sister Feng looked at Daiyu puzzled, and replied: "Our family has a person who specializes in dispensing medicines. How can we rest assured that the ones in the shop outside are dispensing. Why did my sister suddenly remember to ask this matter?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "After taking the medicine for many years, I don't know where the medicine was prepared. I'm confused about medicine. The other day, Zijuan laughed at me for not drinking soup and medicine, but only taking pills, so I remembered this. Just ask casually."

Sister Feng laughed and said: "So that's what happened. Zicuckoo is quite courageous, and dared to make fun of the girl in a serious way. Our family's medicine has always been in charge of Jiachang and Jialing in the pharmacy. Speaking of which, the two of them But I have made medicine for you for several years." Daiyu also laughed and said, "It can be said that I have been taking medicine for nothing, and I have been taking medicine for nothing in the past few years, and I have never even tipped a penny."

Sister Feng joked with a smile: "It can be seen that my younger sister has grown up, and now I understand these people's sophistication, but my younger sister doesn't need to care about these things, because the old ladies and wives will reward them for dispensing their medicine."

Daiyu nodded, and said softly, "Grandmother and aunt are taking too much care of Daiyu!"

The aunt and sister-in-law talked and laughed, and returned to Jia's mansion not long after.Because Daiyu is a dignified imperial county head, and Lin Cheng was the number one scholar in high school, and the Lin family was gaining momentum, so this time they deliberately opened the middle door instead of only letting Daiyu in through the corner door like before.

Jia's mother had been waiting for Daiyu for a long time. Baoyu knew that Daiyu was coming back, so she ran to the upper room to wait early. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and sisters Sanchun were also there, but Baochai was not here.When Daiyu entered the room, she met her elders first, and then met her sisters. Xichun stepped forward and took Daiyu's hand and shouted, "Sister Lin, why have you been away with your family for so many days? I miss you so much."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Fourth sister, I still think about your painting, but have you finished it?"

Xichun said with a naughty smile: "I haven't finished the painting yet, Sister Lin, you should go and have a look later." Daiyu nodded in response, and Baoyu stepped forward to fix Daiyu's eyes tightly, and after a careful look, he said with satisfaction : "Fortunately, I haven't lost weight, and my complexion is better than before. Sister Lin, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Baoyu's thoughtfulness made the old lady very happy, she said with a chuckle: "Come here, Yu'er, let me take a good look at it. You cruel girl, you have been away for several days, and you don't care about your grandmother?"

Baoyu held Daiyu's arm and brought Daiyu to Jiamu's side and sat down. Daiyu just fell into Jiamu's arms and said softly: "Grandmother, Yuer misses you too. You see, this purse was embroidered by Yuer herself. You are not allowed to wrong Yu'er." Jia Mu took the black brocade purse embroidered with wishful cloud patterns from Daiyu's hand, and smiled happily: "It's still my Yu'er girl who has a heart, she is really my good boy." Jia Mu sat down on the other side, looked at the purse once, then moved her eyes to Daiyu, and begged softly, "My dear sister, make me one too." Baoyu's words made Mrs. Wang unhappy, so she went Said in a deep voice: "Baoyu, the eldest girl is a noble person, and she is not a needleworker. Do you want to tire her? Sooner or later, you should go to the study to study, and you are just hanging around here, like a What's it like?"

Baoyu couldn't be in the mood to read any books at the moment, so he pulled the old lady's sleeve and shouted: "Old ancestor..."

The old lady looked at Mrs. Wang and said with a smile: "It's not the time to study. You just force him to study. He is still young, so he is not afraid of hurting his bones. Forget it, let's take a day off today. It's the same for reading tomorrow." .”

Mrs. Wang couldn't say anything, so she could only say yes, and sat down beside her.Daiyu glanced at Daiyu and her maids from time to time. Daiyu understood, so she glanced at Lan Xin. Offend the second master Bao, please punish the old lady."

Before anyone else said anything, Baoyu jumped up first, waved his hands and shouted: "It's nothing, I accidentally didn't stand firmly, how can I blame you, old ancestor, please tell Lan Xin to wake up."

Jia Mu didn't want to make this a big deal, but when she heard what Baoyu said, she naturally pushed the boat with the water, so she smiled and said, "There is a way that people don't raise officials and don't investigate. Now there is no one who suffers. How can I punish you? I will act in the future." Just be careful, get up. Today is a good day for Yu'er to go home, so don't disturb everyone's interest."

Daiyu sat beside Jiamu and said softly, "I haven't thanked the old lady, but thanked the second master Bao!"

Lan Xin kowtowed to Jia's mother, and then saluted Baoyu. Baoyu hurried down to help Lan Xin up, and everyone smiled when they saw it. Bewitched, hating Daiyu, hating Lanxin, hating everyone who is close to Daiyu.

"I have something to tell the eldest girl." Mrs. Wang twisted the Buddha beads in her hand and said slowly.

Daiyu stood up, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Auntie please tell me."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Daiyu, and said calmly: "The Xiren girl ran into you that day, and she has been beaten forty boards and fined for three months. Is the eldest girl still satisfied?"

Daiyu understood Madam Wang's intentions in her heart, so she raised her head and said calmly: "Xi Ren is the old lady's maid for Brother Bao. If she makes a mistake, the old lady can make the decision. My aunt is merciful, and she acts according to the family rules. Believe me No one will be dissatisfied, Daiyu is a guest, and she has nothing to say."

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that Daiyu would be like a different person after returning home for a few days. She spoke in a graceful and reasonable manner, which made people feel heartbroken, but she couldn't find a single fault.I had no choice but to nod, the hatred in my heart deepened, but my face remained calm.

Mother Jia was very happy to see that Daiyu was no longer as weak as before. She sat down with Daiyu in her arms and smiled, "Yu'er, how are your uncle and aunt treating you?"

Daiyu laughed quickly and said, "Aunt and uncle are very kind to Daiyu."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "That's good, that's good." Then she asked, "Is it true that your brother has been let go?"

Daiyu tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied: "It seems that he was sent to control the water in the southeast, and he said he would leave in a few days. My uncle and aunt said that my brother must come to say goodbye to my grandmother before I leave."

Jia Mu nodded and smiled and said, "It seems that the Emperor thinks highly of your elder brother for letting him go so quickly. Yu'er, your elder brother is your father's adopted son, that is, my grandson. I have wanted to see him for a long time. Now Invite him to come while he is still in the capital." Daiyu leaned against Jiamu and smiled, "My brother wants to come too, but now he is ordered to praise the official. Because the time is tight, he can't be free for a day. Brother As soon as I had some free time, I immediately came to pay my respects to my grandmother."

Jia Mu happily agreed, and smiled at Baoyu again: "Baoyu, you see that Yu'er's brother is not much older than you, but he is so promising. When he comes, you have to learn from him." .”

Baoyu has no interest in such things as taking the imperial examination, and he is not even interested in Lin Cheng, who is the number one scholar in high school, but because he is Daiyu's elder brother and Jia Mu said, he bowed and said: "Baoyu would like to follow the old lady's instruction." Mrs. Wang couldn't see her son being compared with anyone, so she smiled and said, "The old lady doesn't know. A few days ago, the master took Baoyu to visit the newly built garden and asked Baoyu to do a lot of it." Poetry, and a plaque, the master never praises people easily, this time he actually praised Baoyu once, saying that Baoyu has made great progress."

Mother Jia was naturally happy when she heard this, so she smiled and said, "Well, I've heard about it. Baoyu, is this garden covered everywhere?" Baoyu hurriedly replied, "I haven't finished all the questions. The garden is huge and well repaired. Baoyu is just going to ask the old lady to take us to swim again." "

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said hurriedly: "Baoyu, you are not sensible. It is a garden built for your elder sister. Your elder sister has not visited the garden yet, so you have to take the lead to play! Why don't you even understand the rules?" ?”

When Jia Mu heard this, she laughed and said, "You are wrong about Baoyu. The garden has not finished all the questions that should be asked. Baoyu wants to go in, which means that he has completed it. I have meant this for a long time. I took the girls in for a stroll." Go shopping, let’s go on like this, choosing a day is worse than bumping into the sun, the sun is good today, we will go to the garden after dinner.”

Mrs. Wang still wanted to dissuade her, but Jia Mu directly ordered: "The first wife and the second wife don't have to wait on you, just Zhu's daughter-in-law and Lian's daughter-in-law are fine. You all go about your own affairs, and let me and the girls have a good time." Let's talk for a while, we don't feel comfortable with you here."
