The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

"Zijuan, are you girls up yet?" Early in the morning, Jia Lian came outside Daiyu's yard and asked with a smile when he saw Zijuan going out to fetch water.

"If you go back to the second master, the girl will get up. If you have something to do, the servant will go back to the girl." Zijuan stood down and replied with a light smile.

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "It's not in a hurry. You just wait for the girl to wash and wash. It's not too late after you use it." Young lady, the old lady's love for her is not in vain." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian turned and left without waiting for Zijuan to reply.Zicuckoo frowned in confusion, and went to fetch water.When she returned to the room when she was young, she waited on Daiyu to wash and wash while she said: "Miss, Cai Lian's second master is here. Maybe he has something to discuss with the girl. Seeing that the girl has not cleaned up, the second master will go back first."

Daiyu nodded her head and said, "It's been a long time since we came out this time, Second Brother Lian must have urged us to go to Beijing."

Zijuan nodded and said: "That's exactly what I said. It's been half a year since I came out. Not only the girls, but also the slaves also think about the old ladies and ladies, all the grandmas and girls, as well as the second master Bao. After getting our letter, it's not too late." If you know how to worry about the girl, you will definitely not be able to eat or sleep."

Daiyu's complexion was indifferent, and she didn't respond to Zijuan's words. Zijuan secretly wondered why she came out, but the girl was much more indifferent to Bao Erye.In the past, when it came to Bao Erye, the girl didn't have such an expression.Zijuan didn't dare to say any more, and just waited on Daiyu to freshen and wash, and then tied her a fairy dress of plain white cloud satin, covered her with green lotus-colored and bamboo-patterned beanies, and only had a single white bead in her hair. Chai, apart from this, there are no other ornaments.Daiyu looked into the mirror, nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's very good."

Although Zijuan felt that this was too plain and clean, even though she was in Xiaozhong, she couldn't be too simple, but Daiyu wanted to do this, so she couldn't say much.Everything was tidied up, Zhu Ying and Lan Xin would also be ready earlier, and they walked in with a small bamboo silk food box each.Xueyan made up the bed and came over to cook dinner with Zijuan.Zijuan brought out a small Ding Kiln white porcelain lotus cup with plain noodles, which contained green stalked rice porridge, and Xueyan brought out a small plate of coiled silk scrolls about an inch long. Daiyu looked at it and said, "Auntie and I cook myself."

Lan Xin hurriedly said: "Miss, you can only eat a little more if the second lady cooks it. If someone else cooks it, you can't even eat one. The second lady has to do it herself. But this dish is bamboo Yingtong did it with your servants, you must show your face and eat more chopsticks, otherwise, the servants will be ashamed to see people." Lan Xin said and made a face, Daiyu was amused by her strange appearance He had to smile, and said: "If it tastes good, then I have to eat a few more mouthfuls, if it tastes bad..."

Lan Xin didn't wait for Daiyu to finish, she nodded her head in a hurry and said, "It must be delicious." Lan Xin and Zhu Ying are both doctors and martial artists, two little girls are ghosts, they always play tricks to tease Dai Yu is happy, Daiyu is in a good mood, and her body will get better.

Daiyu took a sip of the porridge, and took another bite of the silk roll. Seeing Lan Xin staring at her eagerly, she picked up a piece of snow-white and crystal-clear silk and put it into her mouth. Yu nodded and said: "It really tastes good, it's so crispy, and it tastes like yam. It's really hard for the two of you to do it."

Zhu Ying hurriedly said: "It's still our young lady who is amazing, the second lady didn't even taste it just now. It's just shredded yam, we can keep this method a secret."

Daiyu shook her head, she had seen this practice in ancient books, and the two of them, Lan Xin Zhu Ying, were still some kind of secret, Dai Yu just didn't reveal it.

As soon as breakfast was finished, Huiyun came over. Seeing the maids gathered around Daiyu's room, she said, "Miss, I have a few things to discuss with you."

After hearing this, Xueyan hurriedly said: "Second madam, young lady, the servant will leave." Lan Xinzhuying also bowed to leave, Zijuan didn't want to go out, but seeing Xueyan and Lanxin Zhuying all retreated , she is not easy to stay here, so she had to retreat out after a blessing.

Huiyun pulled Daiyu to sit down at the table, and said softly: "Miss, Cai Lian's second master said that he received a letter from his family, saying that the eldest girl Yuan Chun was promoted to Concubine Xiande, and it was set to visit relatives on the fifteenth day of the first month of this year. The Lord said that the Jia family wanted to build a pro-protesting house, and they didn’t have enough money, so they wanted to borrow 100 million taels of silver from our family.”

Daiyu sighed softly, with a sad expression on her face, Huiyun hugged her tightly and said: "My dear lady, this is your own home, if you have any unpleasantness, don't keep it in your heart, tell it all, it's great for us If you don't go to Beijing, we can always find a way to keep you at home safely."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Father has gone. Although I have the false name of a county lord, I don't take it seriously. The elder brother is the adopted son, and he cannot inherit his father's title. Besides, Jia's family is always my grandmother's family, so it can't be broken." If the relationship between relatives is really torn apart, the Lin family...don't worry, Auntie, Dad has arranged everything, even if she goes to Jia's house again, Yu'er will not suffer any big losses, not to mention that uncle and aunt will go to the capital soon , don’t be afraid of anything. Since Jia’s family opened their mouths to borrow money, let’s borrow it. There is only one thing. Uncle and Lian’s second brother need to go to the Yamen of Suzhou together, and ask the magistrate and the chief minister to be intermediaries. The loan documents need to be filed at the household department. , so there is evidence to rely on, and it will be easy to talk about in the future."

Huiyun nodded and said: "Miss is still thoughtful, and I will tell the head later. Miss, there is one more thing to tell you. The second master Lian said that the letter from Jingzhong urged him to take you back as soon as possible."

Daiyu hummed lightly, and said sadly, "I'm always going, Auntie. If Brother Lian asks later, please ask Uncle to tell him that I can leave here at any time."

Huiyun hugged Daiyu, stroking her thin shoulders, and said in a low voice: "My dear lady, the most important thing for you to go this time is to take care of yourself, and don't worry about other things. What about us."

Daiyu snuggled into Huiyun's arms, and said softly: "Auntie, Yu'er has made a note." Huiyun thought that Jia Lian would definitely leave in a hurry, so she hurried out with a few words of comfort to Daiyu, always going to give Daiyu The jade belt should be sorted out.Daiyu rested her chin on her hand and leaned on the table in a daze, not even noticing Xueyan walked in.Seeing Daiyu's brows furrowed tightly, Xueyan walked up to Daiyu's side and whispered, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Daiyu was startled, turned her head to see Xueyan, and said: "Xueyan, we have to go to the capital."

Xue Yan couldn't help but sighed, and said in a low voice, "Oh, I really don't want to go to that mansion again."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Xueyan, don't talk nonsense. Go and ask Zijuan to come in."

Xueyan went out to find Zijuan, and Daiyu said lightly: "Zijuan, we are leaving soon, you should pack up all the things first, so as not to be in a hurry when you get there."

After hearing this, Zijuan said happily, "Don't worry, girl, I will clean it up now, and I won't miss the girl's affairs." Seeing Zijuan's happy face, Daiyu sighed inwardly, where is the place where Zijuan grows? No wonder she was happy.Zijuan was about to turn around, when she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly turned her head and said, "Girl, I have something to remind you, it's a long journey, and there are so many things, the girl will inevitably forget, I have to give it to all the girls. It's better to prepare some gifts with Second Master Bao."

Daiyu nodded, hummed lightly, and Xueyan said beside her: "Sister Zijuan is really careful, only the second lady mentioned it, and she has already ordered people to prepare gifts for the masters of the house, tomorrow will be You can prepare everything, sister Zijuan just put your heart in your stomach, this etiquette can never go wrong."

Zijuan's face was slightly flushed, and her heart was a little sour. When she was in the mansion, she was the chief girl in front of Daiyu, and Xueyan was always so helpless that she didn't even say much. It's as if he's changed himself, he's out of step with himself in front of Daiyu, and he doesn't even move forward when he speaks, it really doesn't feel good.

As soon as Daiyu saw Zijuan's expression, she knew what she was thinking, so she said softly: "Zijuan, let Xueyan go out with you later, buy some gifts and give them home."

Zijuan hurriedly bowed to thank her, and went out with Xueyan.Daiyu got up and walked to the bed, picked up a small mahogany box, stroked it gently, and tears rolled down silently.Parents are gone, and now there is only this small box left in her warm home.Thinking about going to Rongguo Mansion, and not knowing what she would face when she went back, Daiyu didn't know what to expect on the road ahead.

Since Jia Lian said that he wanted to borrow money, he was not sure. For a while, he thought that the Lin family could borrow money quickly, and for a while, he thought about what he would do if the Lin family did not borrow money. Just as he was thinking wildly, Jia Lian saw Lin Yi and Lin Cheng. Walking in from the courtyard gate, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Second Master Lin, have you discussed it with Sister Lin?"

Lin Yi said in a deep voice: "The Lin and Jia families were originally in-laws, and we should help if there is something wrong with the family, but the amount of money borrowed this time is really too large. It belongs to my niece, and as an uncle, I can only guard for her, and there is absolutely no reason to make decisions on my own."

Hearing this, Jia Lian's heart turned cold, and he didn't look good on his face. He lowered his face and said, "Second Master Lin's words are right. We originally said it was a temporary loan, and we didn't want Second Master to pay you back. given."

Lin Yi said again: "The family must have had real difficulties before opening their mouths. Even for the sake of Madam, we should do our best. This piece of furniture was originally used as a dowry for my niece, but now my niece still has it. Small, I won’t need it for a while, and it’s not impossible to borrow it temporarily, it’s just..."

When Jia Lian heard this, there was something to turn around, and he hurriedly said: "Just what? If Er Master Lin has something to say, please speak face to face. As long as it can solve our temporary difficulties, my nephew will obey you."

In Lin Yi's heart, he despised Jia Lian's rudder, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said: "I just want to ask the second master to make an IOU, specify the amount of the borrowed money and the time for repayment, and then we will work together. Go to the yamen to make a bond, so that Lin can also explain to his brother and sister-in-law."

Jia Lian's mind turned for a while, and he thought: "The old lady means to let Brother Bao marry Sister Lin. Since it is Miss Lin's dowry, she will not come out when the time comes, and only marry Miss Lin. Then everything is gone, even if it is an IOU, it doesn't matter, this Lin Yi is not the blood of the Lin family, it is reasonable for him to act like this. Well, let's do it like this." After thinking about it, Jia Lian smiled Said: "Second Lord is very right, and we should act in this way. We will write a document now, and then we can pack up and go on the road. The family is busy with the mother-in-law. I have been urged several times."

Lin Yilin, Cheng Jialian and the others went to Suzhou Futai and found Master Cheng, the magistrate, to tell the matter. Then Master Cheng said: "This matter is important, please wait, come, come, please come quickly, Master Lu, the governor."

When Master Lu came when he was young, Jia Lian saw that the chief minister was very young, and looked unfamiliar, and was thinking about the origin of the chief minister. When Master Lu saw Lin Yi and Lin Cheng, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Cheng didn't speak, just smiled lightly and nodded slightly, Master Lu restrained his expression, and asked Master Cheng, the magistrate, about the matter.

Lin Chengfei quickly wrote the document in triplicate. Jia Lian and Lin Yi signed it and pressed their fingerprints after reading it. After the two adults Cheng and Lu signed it, Master Lu carefully kept a copy of the document, and said to Jia Lian and Lin Yi : "This official will submit this document to the household department for registration. Erye Jia, after your government repays the money, remember to go to the household department to cancel it with Lin Erye and young master Lin."

Jia Lian and Lin Yidu nodded, Lin Cheng showed a smile on his face, and nodded to Master Lu, Master Lu looked at Lin Cheng, then turned and left.Mr. Cheng sighed secretly, he was originally a Beijing official, but he was sent to Suzhou for only two years, he knew the Jia family's pomp and circumstance, and he could only sigh when he thought that the Jia family was empty and wanted to be a facade.
