The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Fearing that Zhen Yingjia would keep an eye on him, the Lin family hadn't contacted Liu Xing since they left for Suzhou.Lin Ruhai didn't know what was going on in Yangzhou.But the Lin family drew the attention of the Zhen family, and the Liu Xing brought Su Lan to Beijing, which was an appointment made by the Lin family before leaving.If there is no news at this moment, it is good news.

The scenery of Panxiang Temple is very beautiful, and the vegetarian spot is also very famous. The Lin family and their party returned home happily.After returning to the old house, they began to prepare for the New Year's Eve sacrifices and other things.

However, in a few days, it was the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the whole family had changed into brand new clothes, even the maids and servants below had new clothes cut this year.

At this time in the previous life, Jia Min and Brother You had passed away, Daiyu had just entered the capital, and Lin Ruhai stayed alone in Yangzhou. As far as Daiyu was concerned, she never had a safe and happy New Year since then. This year's New Year's Day is very important, and I am grateful.

But in the next afternoon, Daiyu took Lin You to start a small firecracker battle in the yard.For the sake of excitement, Daiyu prepared a lot of firecrackers this year, not only for the masters, but also for the servants.For the Chinese New Year, it should be so lively and lively, but the big tanks in each courtyard will be filled with water in advance to prevent water from leaking.

Before dinner, an auspicious time was chosen to open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and many clansmen came.However, according to the rules of this era, only men can enter the ancestral hall to worship, and the female relatives can only talk in the back house.According to the custom, people should stay at home to watch the year when they are thirty, so although many tribesmen came today, they all went home after the sacrifice.Dinner is used by my family in one place.

The dinner was naturally very sumptuous, a table for four members of the family, and a table for the next four aunts, and the servants of each courtyard also enjoyed the dishes.

After dinner, it's time to watch the year.Ask Daiyu to say that the health of the Lin family is not very good, but going to bed early and going to bed early is very important, but if you do this once a year, you will be happy.

When she was near her son, Daiyu ordered the servants to move all the cannons into the courtyard. Jia Min stood far away on the porch and said to Daiyu, "Come here, Yu'er, carefully to scare you."

Lin Youren was a little ghost, and said: "Sister is not afraid, brother Yu is not afraid."

Jia Min tapped his youngest son's forehead again and said: "But let's release a few small firecrackers in the afternoon, you will be able to bear it. This big firecracker is different from the small firecracker you released. Don't cry when you are scared."

For the sake of safety, firecrackers are not used to light firecrackers, but long incense is lit.The boy at the other end said: "Pay attention, light it, light it." He stretched out his hand far away, and used the burning incense to reach the lead wire.

The boy lit the fuse and ran away quickly.The fuse is very flammable, and it makes the sound of gunpowder burning at night, and sparks pop out.Lin You covered his ears and reached his neck, for fear of losing sight.

Then there was a loud bang, the firecracker exploded into the sky, smoke and dust billowed in the yard, and there was a smell of sulfur, Lin You also shrank into Jia Min's arms in fright.Seeing this scene, Lin Ruhai raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Daiyu looked unfazed, Lin Ruhai and his wife were a little surprised, and the daughter was a little too bold. "Yu'er, are you really not afraid?"

Daiyu turned to look at her mother, and said, "That's interesting. Didn't the firecrackers scare the Nian beast? I'm not the Nian beast, so the Nian beast is afraid of it."

Daiyu took the burning incense from the servant again, and lit a big firecracker herself.The fuse burned out, and the firecracker exploded. Except for a loud noise, there was thick smoke billowing, which was a bit choking.

The smell is not very pleasant, but Daiyu is somewhat familiar with it.If it was in the previous life, let alone setting off firecrackers, even watching others set off firecrackers, I would hide away and cover my ears.In the past few years of traveling to later generations, Daiyu has learned a lot. Although she has never been on a real battlefield, the drills are all loaded with live ammunition, and she is fully prepared to go to the battlefield at any time.

At that time, it was common for Daiyu to shoot and shoot targets. She also put on a howitzer and cooperated with her comrades in firing the cannon.With the rapid development of weapon technology in later generations, the pollution from howitzers is not as great as the firecrackers at the moment, but the smell of gunpowder in the air makes Daiyu feel familiar and moved.Thanks to those few years, I learned this skill and saved my younger brother when I came back.

After wearing it back, Daiyu didn't like to cry anymore, but at this moment she couldn't help but shed tears. "It's a big festival, why is Yu'er crying? But scared? Such a big firecracker, even a timid boy would not dare to let it go. Yu'er should not play with that trouble in the future." Jia Min babbled, While wiping Daiyu's tears.

Daiyu was moved more and more, how wonderful, she had had enough of the wind, sword, frost and sword in her previous life, she loved the atmosphere of fireworks so much.The mother's nagging is also lovely: "Yu'er is not afraid, it's just that the eyes are blinded by the smoke." Daiyu said.

Jia Min thought that no matter how knowledgeable and courageous Daiyu is, she is only a girl under seven years old, so she didn't believe Daiyu's words, and joked: "Okay, Yu'er is not afraid. But don't let that trouble go." Although he said so in his mouth, his face was full of disbelief.

Lin Ruhai also became interested, took a stick of incense and said: "I'll put one in too, it will blow up the sneaky villains with nowhere to hide, bless us all safe and sound."

Another cannonball exploded, and the servants put aside their usual seriousness when they saw the master, and went to light the firecracker in person, and they became more and more playful.The brave boys all left the scene, and the sound of firecrackers in the open space of the yard kept ringing in people's ears.

Jia Min couldn't stand the noise, so she brought her two children back to the house, until the middle of the night, the master and servants all dispersed, except for the night guards, everyone else fell asleep.

There was no dream all night, and Daiyu felt that she hadn't slept enough, so Chunshan came to wake the girl up.Daiyu wanted to say that lack of sleep would affect children's development, but she insisted on getting up.There is a custom of not sleeping late on the first day of the new year, not to mention myself, even Brother Yu has to get up early.

Besides, the new year's festival has just started, and there are still a lot of things to arrange.

Daiyu's sister and brother went to the upper room to say hello, and several aunts and servants from the whole family came to say hello and congratulate them. Daiyu had already ordered people to prepare reward bags and various fruits and vegetables to distribute.Then the steward replied, because the Lin family has a small population, there is no need to visit relatives and friends today, and all the dishes to be prepared have been arranged, so it doesn't take much trouble, within half an hour, the day's arrangement was ordered.

Lin Ruhai and his wife saw that Daiyu was becoming more and more comfortable in managing Zhongfu, and that Daiyu was efficient, and they didn't see that she was very busy and tired, so they let her do things more and more.

After the first day of junior high school, relatives and friends began to visit each other from the second day of junior high school.

The other day, Daiyu swept the face of Lin Mu's family in a show of power, which shocked some members of the clan who were not upright.It's just that Daiyu's powerful reputation gradually spread.A yellow-haired girl, who hadn't even left her head, started to take charge of Zhongfu, and even swept the face of Lin Mu's family so coldly.Although the behavior of Lin Mu's family is not so decent, but Miss Lin is too powerful.

For example, some clansmen brought their children here, the men went to the front yard to drink, the women talked in the backyard, some girls who were about the same age as Daiyu were timid when they saw Daiyu, maybe the family members told them not to do so. Provoke Miss Lin.

There is a little girl named Lin Yuzhu, ten years old this year, the granddaughter of a clan elder, who is not afraid of Daiyu, but stares at Daiyu curiously.When it comes to seniority, Yuzhu and Daiyu are sisters of the same generation.

Yuzhu is also an acquaintance in the previous life, of course, the two of them didn't spend much time together.In the previous life, when Jia Lian took Lin Ruhai's coffin back to his hometown for burial, Daiyu burst into tears.Yuzhu was instructed by his grandfather Lin Feng to comfort and persuade Daiyu.

At that time, Yu Zhu was already 16 years old, and she would leave the cabinet only when a good day was chosen in the next spring.Daiyu remembered that Yuzhu was a very gentle girl, with soft words and soft words. Although she couldn't understand her grief of losing her father and being helpless since then, with Yuzhu's company, she also somewhat relieved her loneliness during her previous life in Suzhou.

As for Yuzhu's grandfather, he was also one of the elders of the Lin clan in Suzhou, named Lin Feng, which is reasonable.In his previous life, Lin Feng did not covet the Lin family property like Lin Mu, and wanted to keep it for himself. Instead, he fought hard on the basis of reason, wanting to get back the property such as the sacrifice land that should belong to the Lin clan, and claimed that it should have belonged to the wife's inheritance. Jia Lian can take away a share of the family property, but Daiyu should be given a list.

Oh, the list.Ever since I entered the capital that time, I knew that the Lin family had millions of dollars, but I just pretended not to know it. During the last three years in Rongguo Mansion, I was often ridiculed by the maids in the mansion for supplying everything from the mansion.

Naturally, except for a few conscientious clan elders, Lin Feng's proposition was hardly supported by anyone.The Jia family disagreed, and neither did the rest of the Lin family.Since ancient times, eating extinct households has been like this. Before the new dead can be buried in peace, they will fight for blood.In the previous life, the Zhen family was a powerful one, Lin Feng and several elders of the clan were lonely, and almost no one cared about their opinions, but now thinking about it, Daiyu is still grateful.

But since then, Xu Shi was thousands of miles apart, and Xu Shi's inheritance dispute completely hurt the relationship between Lin's clan and himself. Since that farewell, Yuzhu and his family have never been seen for the rest of his life.Goodbye in this life, the atmosphere is actually peaceful, Daiyu can't help but feel happy when she sees Yuzhu.

Daiyu smiled when she saw this, and asked, "Sister Yuzhu, what are you looking at? Has my face been washed clean?"

Lin Yuzhu didn't come with her family when she came back because of her poor health a few years ago, this was the first time she came here, she was surprised when she saw Daiyu blurt out her name, and asked, "How does my sister know my name is Yuzhu? " After a pause, he continued: "My younger sister was not born with three heads and six arms."

Daiyu burst out laughing, and she became more and more lovely: "It's the first time I return to my hometown when I grow up. It's impolite. I've searched for the genealogy. Although it's the first time I've met Sister Yuzhu, but I don't know I've seen my aunt, sister Yuzhu came with my aunt, and she's about the same age as the genealogy, so I guess it's my sister. My sister didn't deny it, so I guessed well."

Yuzhu Niang was talking to Jia Min, when she heard what she said, she smiled and said: "It's amazing, I've never seen such a clever little girl, she was born with the appearance that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth, and another Such a delicate heart is really a blessing for my sister-in-law. No wonder the eldest girl is only seven years old, and my sister-in-law has already assured her to learn how to govern."

Jia Min laughed and said: "It's just that I am not up to date, and the doctor asked me to rest. Our master is busy with the affairs of the government, so we have to let Yu'er work hard at a young age. Yu'er is still a bit smart, it's just me As a mother, it really hurts."

Yuzhu Niang once again praised Daiyu to the fullest, and the women of other clans all echoed her.

But at this end, Daiyu has already gone to talk with Yuzhu.Yuzhu is still very lively and playful at this time, a little less gentle and quiet than in the previous life. When the two met in the previous life, Yuzhu was already ready to marry and put away her lively temperament.

Because Daiyu was already grateful to Yuzhu's family, and Yuzhu has a very easy-going personality, and Yuzhu also likes Daiyu's intelligence and good looks, and the two of them got along very well.

After inviting the clansmen to finish the wine, from the third day of the junior high school, people from the clan returned to the banquet one after another. The Lin family was very busy with socializing and socializing.It takes time to take care of the property in Gusu, and to visit Zhuangzi shops in various places.During the period, the heads and shopkeepers from all over the place came to pay New Year's greetings, and Daiyu also saw them.

At the beginning, the Zhuangtou were all surprised when they saw such a young and big girl asking questions, and they were a little frivolous, so it was inevitable that they would be a little contemptuous.Until Daiyu asked about the climate and future prospects of the past few years, and they were all clear and straight, the village heads dared not be careless.

Among them, several Zhuangtou saw that the patriarch was not in Suzhou all year round, so they had a lot of ignorance.Daiyu looked at the account book, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she still asked softly: "The Zhuangzi managed by the head of Wangzhuang is also a top-grade field, how come the harvest in the past few years is not far from the middle and high-grade fields managed by the head of Zhengzhuang? "

Wang Zhuangtou said: "I don't know, girl. In the first few years, the village was either drought or flooded, which really affected the harvest. Although Zhengzhuangtou's Zhuangzi is a middle-to-high-grade field, the Zhuangzi managed by Zhengzhuangtou Nearby, there are many strong laborers, and the tenants are young and strong, so the crops are well maintained.

The farm I managed was originally a top-notch field, but they are all old tenants for many years, and their strength is gradually declining. It is inevitable that they are not good at tending the crops.I originally thought that our family is a family that does good deeds and can't do the thing of expulsing tenants when they get old, so I kept them all, which inevitably affected the harvest.If the girl blames it, after the Lantern Festival, the servants will call the tenants. If they are really old and frail, they will ask them to retire the field and rent it out for another strong laborer. "

After hearing these words, Jia Min sat up straight.Seeing Daiyu's outstanding ability, she has entrusted many things to Daiyu, but she didn't ask Xiatou Zhuangtou to fool her daughter like this.how?Could it be that the harvest in his farm is not good, and if Daiyu cares about it, she will not give the old tenants a living?When the time comes, who will get the reputation of the Lin family as a bully, mean and heartless?

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "That's not necessary, I'm just asking casually. That's it, Wang Zhuangtou told me when the village was hit by drought, and in which years it was hit by drought." flood?"

Wang Zhuangtou thought that the words just now suppressed the mistress and the girl, so he recalled the disasters in the past few years based on his memory.

Daiyu just listened quietly without interrupting him. When Wangzhuangtou finished speaking, Daiyu winked at Xueyan, but said indifferently: "Don't let Wangzhuangtou fool me just because I am young. Although it is the first year for me to return to my hometown, I have already inquired about the customs and customs of my hometown."

Just as she was talking, Xue Yan had already arrived with a book in her hands.

Daiyu took it with her hand and continued: "This is the annals of Suzhou in recent years. It not only records the mountains, rivers, places of interest, local customs and customs in Suzhou, but also the climate conditions over the years. Why did I read the annals of Suzhou? The record of Suzhou is actually different from what Wang Zhuangtou said? Is the person who recorded Suzhou Chronicles wrong, or Wang Zhuangtou remembered it wrong?"

Not only did Wang Zhuangtou break out in a cold sweat, but all the Zhuangtou and the steward who came with him were also very surprised.Everyone thought about it again, and they all felt that their master was Tanhua, so they naturally knew things like a god.Could it be that the master wanted to stand the girl up, so he had already prepared these essentials, but today the girl asked as she was prepared?But just looking at the girl's young age, this calm and unhurried demeanor, even if the master prepared the Suzhou Chronicle in advance, the girl's ability is also shocking.

What was even more surprising was Jia Min, because Jia Min knew very well that no one else had informed Daiyu of her attention, so she made a plan before moving, and she was prepared for any danger, leaving Wang Zhuangtou speechless. Daiyu's excellence is evident.

"Girl, the old slave is getting old, maybe I remembered it wrong, and I begged the girl to spare the slave this time. In the future, when the old slave is involved, he will definitely bring his account books every year." Regardless of whether the Suzhou Chronicle is What the master prepared in advance was the girl's own idea. Wang Zhuangtou knew that this time he would not be able to fool her, so he immediately admitted his mistake and begged for mercy.

"Just now Wang Zhuangtou said that the tenants on the farm are getting old and should be replaced, otherwise it will affect the harvest of the crops. The manager of the farm is getting old and always confused, so he should be replaced." Daiyu said.

Wang Zhuangtou wanted to ask again, but Daiyu just said indifferently: "In the new year, because I don't want to be popular, I just exposed this matter lightly. Does Wangzhuangtou really want to argue?" Yu didn't raise his voice, nor did he get angry, just at such a young age, it made you feel imposing.

That Wang Zhuangtou finally silenced himself, kowtowed and retreated.

Only now did everyone know how powerful this big girl is, and no one dared to fool her.The bosses, stewards, and shopkeepers who were not too greedy for ink in the past are okay. Although they have been greedy for ink, their accounts have been smoothed out.

There are also some who are too greedy, because the books are different.

Because of the big festival, Daiyu really didn't want to punish people severely, so she took a few more account books and said: "This is the account book you handed in in previous years, and it is quite perfunctory. I think it was made up later. No, I made up the mistake. If anyone feels that they are getting old and keep making mistakes, then please resign. If there are too many people today, I am sorry, and I will find my wife privately in a few days. "

These few words made the people below look at each other in blank dismay, and now they remembered that when the girl was in Yangzhou, she had already dismissed many people.It's just that those who can be placed in Suzhou to take care of the property are originally trusted by the head of the family, and because of this, some people are slack, and some are greedy.

Fortunately, the people in charge of the Lin family's industries still have a bottom line, and no major incidents such as bullying or killing people have happened.So Daiyu only sent off a few people who were too greedy, or who were too domineering in front of tenants and clerks.As for those who did not covet much, Daiyu let them go.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Daiyu will not allow the people below to work hard all year round, but she will not allow a single copper coin to be fished; but she cannot be easily fooled.

During this trip to Suzhou, it was enough to pick a few over-the-top tricks.Since then, the reputation of the young lady of the Lin family has spread not only among the clan, but also among the head of the village and the shopkeeper.

Although she didn't do needlework in the first month, Daiyu didn't have much leisure time, but she took the time to clean up the property in Suzhou, and the Lin family received another post.

Yao Guoan, governor of the south of the Yangtze River, posted a post to invite the Lin family to have a drink.

The officials in Jiangnan either took the initiative or passively coerced into the salt smuggling case, and they didn't know whether the drink at Governor Yao's house was an ordinary banquet or a Hongmen banquet.
