Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Min offered hollyhocks, pomegranates, cattails, etc. in bottles early, bought yellow croakers, made rice dumplings, and took out the prepared realgar wine. He was extremely busy.

After resting in the afternoon, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min and Daiyu to the street.On Jia Min's hair was the mugwort leaves and durian flowers that Lin Ruhai personally put on. Looking at her husband and Xiao Daiyu beside her, she felt that she was probably the happiest woman in the world.

The breeze is intoxicating, the air is filled with the pleasant aroma of Angelica dahurica and wormwood, and there are warm and joyful smiles everywhere, which is indescribably refreshing.

Little Daiyu seldom went to the street, but today the street was very lively, with calamus and mugwort leaves planted in front of every house, vendors selling all kinds of gadgets, Daiyu couldn't keep her eyes off the sight.In particular, there are many kinds of sachets and sachets on the street. Xiao Daiyu can't help but stop to admire it from time to time when she looks exquisite and cute.Jia Min and Lin Ruhai smiled and let her play.Daiyu picked and picked for a long time but then shook her little head and walked away. Jia Min smiled and said, "Why don't you pick one? Mother is still waiting to pay you here." Xiao Daiyu smiled and said, "Although those are beautiful , but it is far from what mother gave. Mother is the best coincidence." She happily shook Jia Min's hand, obviously very proud in her heart.The multicolored silk sachet she brought today was made by Jia Minte. Although it is not as exquisite as Hui Wen's, it is also the best among female celebrities, and the ordinary toys sold on the street can't match it.

Jia Min scratched Daiyu's little nose, and said with a smile, "You should put honey on Yu'er's mouth, it's getting sweeter, she'll pour mother's soul soup."

Daiyu shook her head and said eagerly, "No, if you don't believe me, ask Dad."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing when she saw her daughter's charming and cute look: "Your mother's embroidery is naturally the best, and her embroidery is hard to find in the capital."

Only then did Daiyu laugh: "Yu'er never tells a lie. Didn't mother say that lying is not a good child?" Jia Min also smiled sweetly.Her little Yu'er is more and more able to sing with her husband to make herself happy, and she doesn't even write a draft, which is really a father-daughter bond.

After walking around for more than half an hour, Lin Ruhai saw that his wife and daughter were a little tired, so he hurriedly took them to a simple and elegant tea house to rest.I went straight to the private room on the second floor, and saw rosewood tables and chairs by the window, famous calligraphy and paintings hung on the whitewashed walls, and a few impromptu poems written by gifted scholars, elegant and quiet.Several people were sitting by the window, sipping light tea, feeling at ease.

Overlooking the street from upstairs, I feel more lively and prosperous.Lin Ruhai hugged Daiyu and pointed out the scenery outside.Daiyu didn't come out very often, so she was naturally curious about everything, and she kept asking questions like a little oriole. Jia Min watched quietly with a smile, occasionally interjecting a sentence, which made her feel more warm.

Suddenly, he heard the chaos in the street, and someone shouted: "Catch the thief, stop the kid in front." Jia Min frowned first, looked down, and saw a dirty child running from a distance, Dressed in tatters and thin, he looked no more than six or seven years old.A man in his 30s ran and shouted behind him.The street was crowded with people, and the child relied on his small body and nimble movements to sneak around in the crowd. People on the street saw the thief as a child, so they couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and they didn't want to arrest him. Can't help but get frustrated.

After all, the child has little strength, so he slowed down slowly. He looked anxious and scared. Looking back, he saw that the big man was following closely, and rushed forward with all his strength. Unfortunately, he didn't pay attention when he turned his head, and stepped on someone's foot. Puff fell to the ground.Before he got up, the big man had already chased him.

After running for a long time, the big man was also a little panting. He kicked the little dirty boy who was about to get up, and said with a sneer, "Run, look at you running! Grandma, you don't learn well at such a young age. You educated wild boy." He kicked a few times in frustration.

The child was also powerless to fight back, curled up, covered his head with one hand, and protected the things in his arms with the other, biting his lip tightly without saying a word.

Jia Min couldn't bear it anymore, and before she could speak, Xiao Daiyu said softly: "Daddy, let's help him, that little brother is so pitiful."

Lin Ruhai couldn't see it anymore, so he put down Daiyu and said: "You guys sit for a while, I'll go and have a look." Then he went downstairs.But Daiyu couldn't sit still, she ran after her and shouted, "Daddy, Yu'er is going too." Seeing that her husband and daughter were going, Jia Min hurriedly put the money on the table and followed.

When we got to the street, there were more and more people watching the excitement, and people couldn't bear to whisper, but they didn't dare to care when they saw the big man's fierce face, pointing and discussing.The big man became excited when he saw that there were more people watching, and his feet became more and more ruthless.

Lin Ruhai saw that the child was covered in dust, with patches of dirt on his face, and he could vaguely see bruises. He felt sorry for the child, and squeezed into the crowd and shouted: "Stop it."

The big man felt a gust of wind blowing, he couldn't help taking a step back, startled, he stopped and looked up to see a middle-aged scholar with a gentle manner, beside him was a middle-aged beautiful woman and a little girl with beautiful makeup.Seeing that they are well dressed and have elegant temperament, knowing that they are not ordinary people, they weaken their aura.

Seeing that the big man stopped his hands, Daiyu hurried to the child, not afraid of getting dirty, she stretched out her small hand to the child and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, get up quickly." Her voice was clear and lingling like rings, very sweet.

The child struggled to raise his head, and saw a beautiful little girl looking at him with kindness, her big eyes were rippling, radiant, clear and heart-warming.Looking at the little girl's white and tender hands, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Xiao Daiyu got up in a hurry, and stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Zangwa.The little dirty baby finally stretched out her black hand to hold Daiyu's little hand.The black and white eyes looked strangely harmonious at this time.

The little dirty boy timidly followed Daiyu to Jia Min's side.

Looking at the envious or admiring eyes of the onlookers, Jia Min felt a sense of pride spontaneously.Gently smoothing Daiyu's hair, her beautiful eyes are full of tenderness, which seems to melt the ice and snow of eternity.Her daughter, she can illuminate this gloomy and selfish world with a weak heart for a moment.

Lin Ruhai said on the other side: "Brother, I don't know what this child has done, but your Excellency has made such a heavy hand."

The big man saw the people around talking a lot, and Lin Ruhai's eyes were as cold as ice, so he also came to his senses.Although he was mean, he was not vicious. This time, he was not very aggressive, but it was a waste of energy when chasing him, and the fire started to burn before he knew it.Now that I think about it, I feel a little embarrassed: "Hehe, it's nothing. He stole some rice dumplings from me. I saw him and scolded him. In the end, he not only didn't reflect on himself, but also spit into the pot of rice dumplings. You said that we are running on a small budget. This..." He was troubled, but still annoyed.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai felt that this little baby was too much, but he should learn a lesson after suffering so much. He took out two taels of silver and said, "It's just that this little baby is wrong. These taels of money are enough to accompany your loss, brother Just don't pursue it."

The big man's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, he took the silver and smiled and said in a hurry: "Enough is enough, I can't use it."

Lin Ruhai smiled, ignored him, and took Jia Min Daiyu and the little dirty child into a nearby inn.

After announcing the baby to sit down, Jia Min said softly, "What happened just now, why did you steal from someone?"

Seeing Jia Min's soft eyes, Daiyu's aura, and even Lin Ruhai's gentleness, the little baby became bolder and said in a low voice, "I'm hungry, I haven't eaten for three days." He choked and cried, leaving mud marks on his face.

When Jia Min heard the voice, she realized that "he" was actually "she". Feeling sorry for her, she beckoned for money to ask the clerk to make some porridge and buy some clothes for the little baby.He wiped her hands and face with a wet handkerchief, and after cleaning it, he realized that she was actually a beautiful little girl.

The little girl Zhenzhen took out two dusty rice dumplings from her arms and wanted to deliver them to her mouth. Jia Min hurriedly stopped her and said, "You haven't eaten for a few days, and you'll get a stomachache if you eat this. You'll have a stomachache after eating this." Eat some porridge."

Listening to Jia Min's soft voice, the little girl burst into tears.While talking, the waiter had already cooked the porridge, the little girl was so hungry, she gobbled down two bowls in a row, Jia Min saw that she still wanted to eat, so she hurriedly stopped her to let her eat later.Only then did he ask her about her life experience in detail.

The little girl was sold into a juggling troupe since she was a child, and she is seven years old this year.People call her "girl".The class leader usually beat and scolded her, and since she was five years old, she was forced to do all kinds of difficult moves for others to perform, and even punished her not to eat if she didn't go well.She couldn't take it anymore, so she ran out. After wandering for half a year, she had no skills, so she could only make a living by begging and stealing.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min sighed again and again.Little Daiyu grew up in a honey pot, so she didn't know that there are such tragic things in the world, such a poor person, tears are streaming down her face, and her big eyes are even more clear like washing with water.

Seeing that the little girl had something on her head, Jia Min asked the waiter to put away the prepared wooden bucket, washed and dried her personally, and changed into a light blue gauze dress.

Lin Ruhai and Daiyu's eyes lit up as they led the sweet-smelling baby out to the outer room.As the saying goes, "A man depends on clothes, but a Buddha needs gold clothes." The little girl tied up two maidservants, with a small melon-seeded face, dark almond eyes, and slightly thick petal-like lips, lined with a soft light blue gauze. Clothes, more delicate and lovely than a lark.

Daiyu ran over and took her hand affectionately and said with a delicate smile, "Young lady is so pretty."

The girl suddenly knelt down and said: "Master, madam, miss, thank you for your great kindness. If you don't dislike it, then accept me as your little girl. I will take good care of you." Suffering from the heat of the world, he already understood everything. Today, he was rescued by these kind-hearted people, and he only wanted to repay his kindness.Of course, I also have a little selfishness, hoping that I can always follow these gentle and kind people, and no longer suffer from being displaced.

Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai frowned, but Daiyu said softly, "Daddy, I like this young lady so much, let's keep her."

Lin Ruhai saw the hope written on her daughter's face, and thinking about her daughter's lack of playmates of the same age at home, she said, "Well, I'll recognize you as my daughter, since you don't have a name, why not take our surname and call it Lin Xueyan. "Then he told her about his situation in detail.

Girl, now Xueyan shook her head and said: "How can this be done? I'm just a beggar. I don't dare to go beyond my duty. If you don't dislike me, you can accept me as a maid. As long as you can accompany Miss Protect for a long time The blessing of my life."

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min saw Xueyan's resolute face, as if I wouldn't get up if you didn't agree, and they didn't want to be strong, so they had to agree, and they felt more and more fond of this sensible and precocious little girl.He didn't ask her to sign a contract of sale, but only said to wait until she grows up to see her choice.

Since having Xueyan, Xiao Daiyu finally has a playmate of the same age. Xueyan is very careful and ingenious, and even the old mothers who have lived for many years are full of praise for her.Daiyu likes her more, not only always pestering her to play, but also often teaching her to read and write, experiencing the joy of being a wife by herself, the two of them are really happy together.

That day Jia Min had already fallen asleep, and Lin Ruhai went to the yard to enjoy the moon without feeling sleepy, when he suddenly heard a very thin sound of breathing, which turned out to be a snow goose upon closer inspection.Strangely said: "Xueyan, why don't you go to sleep?"

Xueyan had a hesitant look on her face, she knelt down and kowtowed for a long time and said: "I beg the master to teach the servants martial arts."

Lin Ruhai was stunned: "Why, someone bullied you, martial arts are not for fighting. And how do you know I know martial arts?"

Xueyan hurriedly said: "No one bullied me. That day when the servants saw the master lightly waved the villain back a step, they knew it. My class leader did that before, and everyone in the class said it was martial arts, very powerful At that time, I always thought that if I knew kung fu, I would never be bullied again. Later, when I met Mrs. Madam, I swore to protect Miss, but how can I protect you if you are so weak, so I want to learn even more."

Lin Ruhai secretly sighed that she was careful. That day his attack was extremely secretive, and he didn't want her to find out. After hearing her finish, she smiled and said: "We have nothing to do with the world, how could Yu'er be in danger. It's good that you have such an idea, but girl After all, learning martial arts at home is too hard."

Xueyan shook her head and said: "Master, how can you be sure that you won't be in danger? There are no deterministic things in the world. For example, a few days ago, I would never have thought that I could live such a life in this life. I am Miss's personal servant girl. There is no harm in having martial arts. I have been in the juggling class for the past few years, and I already have a bit of martial arts foundation, and I am not afraid of hardship."

Lin Ruhai was shocked again, with a look of admiration on his face, he didn't expect Xue Yan to have such insight at such a young age, nodded and said: "Forget it, since you insist, I will send someone to teach you kung fu tomorrow, if you feel bitter Just tell me."

Xueyan was overjoyed, kowtowed and said: "Thank you, master. It's just that the servant is reluctant to part with Miss, so can I learn every night?"

Knowing that she was stubborn and stubborn, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to agree to have someone teach her for an hour every night, and adjusted her daytime routine accordingly.

The snow geese bounced and ran away, their hearts filled with joy.When that little hand took her out of the abyss of despair without hesitation, she swore from her heart that she must use her life to protect the most beautiful sunshine in this world.
