Indulgence in the Red Chamber

That night, when Daiyu and Lin Ning returned home, it was already time to light the lanterns.Because Jinyu insisted on going to the Lin Mansion to be with Daiyu, Yinzhen couldn't be stubborn, so he had to arrange the affairs of Canglan Garden hastily and go with him.

Lin Ruhai heard that the two elder brothers came back together, so he had to go to the front to entertain her again. Daiyu didn't see her mother for a day, so she went to her room to greet her before she could change her clothes.Unexpectedly, she saw Mrs. Jia leaning on the bed and weeping quietly, which shocked Daiyu.

Daiyu accompanied Xinxin to Mrs. Jia, knelt down on the footrest slowly along the bed, and asked eagerly: "Why is mother sad? But the daughter is unfilial, making mother angry?"

"My son! Get up quickly. Mother is only sad because of her own illness. What does it have to do with you? Get up quickly." Mrs. Jia stretched out her hand to lift her daughter up and down, looked around, and said with a smile: "Listen to what your father said , you went to see the Flower Festival today, but encountered some troubles, because your grandmother’s cousin was talking on the sidelines just now, and I didn’t ask in detail. I think my daughter has always been well-behaved, I don’t know which rascal bullied her On our heads?"

"It is said that it is the royal merchant Xue's family. Has mother heard of it?"

"Imperial Merchant Xue's family?" Mrs. Jia was taken aback, she had heard of this Xue family, and the eldest lady of the Xue family was the direct sister of the second sister-in-law of her natal family.Xue's family and Jia's family are also two aunts. I heard that they also like to study. How could they do such lawless things?

"Mother thinks she knows?" Daiyu stood up, and the girl hurried over to change her clothes, and brought clean water to wash her face.

Mrs. Jia watched her daughter wash up, and suddenly remembered her childhood in her mother's house, she couldn't help sighing quietly: "This Xue family has some relatives with your grandmother's family, so I heard that it is a good family, but I didn't expect that the descendants would be so disappointing. If you continue to make trouble, won't you lose your family and lose your business?"

"So they are still relatives? Looking at their situation, they are three points better than the rascals in the market. What kind of people are there!" Daiyu wiped her face and threw the towel into the washbasin. Xueyan took the jujube again. The wooden comb came, opened her bun, and combed her bun again, wrapped with a pink-purple ribbon, which was faintly visible, without any jewels, and replaced it with a half-new pink purple spring shirt. Xiao Daiyu looked as pure and pleasant as the jasper next door.

Mrs. Jia leaned on the bed and told Daiyu about the relationship between the Xue family and Jia's mansion in detail. Before she finished talking, the girl came in and asked where the dinner was.Mrs. Jia then said to Daiyu: "My son, Jin Gege from La's family is a guest at our house. I can't accompany her with my crooked body, so you can go and accompany Gege well. You are also welcome." Eat happily. You don’t need to smell these medicines here. I’m sick, and there’s nothing delicious here. Just watch them and don’t neglect Gege, that’s all.”

Due to the situation of the country, Daiyu had no choice but to agree to come out, and then gave advice to the women and girls around Mrs. Jia before going back to her yard.

But it is said that Mrs. Jia was weeping secretly in the room because Jia Lian, the second master of Rongguo Mansion, came to pay his respects to his aunt. It was because Mrs. Jia heard that Mrs. Jia was ill and had been lying in bed for several months. , I was really thinking about it, so Fang sent someone to visit.And when Jia Lian came to Yangzhou, Mrs. Wang's entrustment was naturally indispensable.Now that their eldest lady is working here, Mrs. Wang is also very concerned, so she begged Jia's mother to ask Jia Lian to bring a message to Mrs. Jia, and let her, as an aunt, take care of her niece anyway, so don't make her suffer. Wronged.

Mrs. Jia asked someone to tidy up the house and let Jia Lian live in the mansion. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian said that she still had business to do, so she left in a hurry.Here Mrs. Jia misses her relatives, so she inevitably shed a few tears, but her condition got worse and her health became worse and worse.

Jia Lian did not stay in the Lin Mansion, but Yinzhen and Yinxiang did.

Lin Ruhai was already busy here, and Mrs. Jia was ill again.Daiyu was taking care of the family affairs with the help of a few housekeepers, but now she has to take care of the food of the two princes, and she is even busier.

Fortunately, Yinzhen and Yinxiang always took Lin Ning out, and there was no one there for a day.But because of Yinzhen's sake, Jinyu no longer clamored to go out to play.When she was free, she took Daiyu to teach her how to read, and after half a month, she actually knew more than a thousand characters in her stomach.

The weather is getting warmer.Since Daiyu took the pills prepared by Lin Ning and the flowers of King Mo Xuelan, her body has healed, and she has never suffered from the convulsions again.Even the most famous doctor in Yangzhou is amazed again and again.

Lin Ruhai suffered from a serious heart disease, and her spirit has improved a lot.It's just that Mrs. Jia is still sick and not getting better. In her own words, the disease can't be cured, but it can't be cured.

This day, Jinyu and Daiyu were having sex on the stone bench under the wisteria trellis in the garden. The purple wisteria flowers were blown by the breeze and fell to the ground one after another, covering their heads and shoulders. Petals, fragrant and pleasant.

Jinyu's little girl, Liansheng, oh, this Liansheng is the sister next door to the thief that Lin Ning rescued in front of the tea stand that day. Lin Ning wanted to give her a good future, so she recommended it to Jinyu As expected, Jinyu also liked the girl, so she stayed by her side.This Liansheng turned around from the flower stand with two cups of tea, came to the two of them, handed the tea to them, then wiped the petals off Daiyu's body with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "You two really put your heart into it." , the petals are all over the body, and I don't care to brush them off."

"Why do you have to brush it off? I still want to keep the fragrance of flowers all over my body." Daiyu smiled and drank tea.Jinyu frowned, only thinking about how to make the next move.

"Where are you from?" Daiyu asked with a smile, returning the half-eaten tea to Liansheng.

"The slaves come from the upper room."

"What is mother doing?"

"The maidservant is about to talk to the girl, but the young master Biao is here, and he is talking to the wife."

"Young Master Cousin?" Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that her mother had said that the second cousin of the eldest uncle's family in Beijing had come, Fang nodded and said, "Since he is here, let's not go there for now."

"Hey - there is a strange thing in your uncle's house, have you ever heard of it?" Jinyu finally settled the chess piece, looked up and smiled.

"What strange things? All the strange things in the past and present are all fabricated by people to deceive the world. How can there be so many strange things?" Daiyu didn't believe it, raised her hand and ate Jinyu's three white characters.

"A son of your second uncle's family was born with jade. Isn't it strange?"

"Born with jade?" Daiyu was stunned for a moment, looked at Jinyu suspiciously, and said with a smile, "You also believe these words? That jade is nothing more than a stubborn stone, how could it be in the mouth of a child? Did you bring it down when the grass fell? Does that mean that the second aunt has a stone growing in her belly?"

"Oh, you girl, listen to what you're talking about?! It's Lin Ning who taught you to fail!" Jinyu hurriedly waved her hands when she heard what Daiyu said.

"What he said was right, and the world understands these truths. It's just that the matter has nothing to do with oneself, and everyone doesn't want to expose those lies." Daiyu smiled and shook her head, pointing to the chessboard and asked: "It's your turn, don't worry about it." , but we will lose."

"If you lose, you lose. It's not like you haven't lost before! We played five games of chess this morning, but you won five games. I don't even remember when I won when I played chess with you!"

"You are so inattentive! How can you win if you lose your mind all the time? Could it be that fourth master has taken up all your attention?" Daiyu said with a smile, then hurriedly got up and ran to the side.

"Stop!" Jinyu was ashamed, pushed the chess piece to stand up, and chased after Daiyu to fight.

"Sister... good sister... Since you are full of thoughts about others, why did you miss the wedding and refuse to marry? What kind of heart do you have?" Daiyu giggled and ran into the flowers, Jinyu raised her hands Pretending to fight, hurriedly catch up.

"Miss——" Xueyan ran anxiously from the gate of the garden, stopped Daiyu panting, bent over, and said wheezingly: "Miss, it's not good—madam...madam passed out Already!"

"What?!" Daiyu was startled and froze stupidly.

"What's going on? Did you just say that your cousin is here? Okay, why did you pass out?!" Jinyu was also anxious, but after all, she and Mrs. Jia are not mother and daughter, and they are a few years older. , and calm down a bit.Seeing that Daiyu didn't know what to do for a while, she burst into tears, she quickly turned her hand and hugged her into her arms to comfort her: "Sister, don't be afraid, it's fine. Hurry up! Tell someone to find Lin Ning and come back!"

Liansheng heard this, and hurried out to ask someone to look for Lin Ning, while Jinyu helped Daiyu and hurried all the way to Mrs. Jia's room.
