The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Yao Guoan is not from Jiangnan, and he was also sent here.But because he is a big official in the frontier, there are always countless people going to salute.

Since Lin Ruhai became an official in the south of the Yangtze River, he has exchanged gifts with Yao Guoan.Although the governor's yamen and the Yanzheng yamen were in Suzhou and the other in Yangzhou, and they had never met each other in Jiangnan, the ceremony of three festivals and two birthdays had been exchanged several times.

This time the Lin family returned to their hometown for the festival, and the Yao family stayed in Suzhou because their hometown is far away in Shandong. The Yao family held a banquet, so they sent a message to the Lin family.

The Yao family's banquet was scheduled for the sixth day, because Yao Guoan was half a grade higher than Lin Ruhai, and the Lin family didn't want to neglect them, so they went there early in the morning.

When they arrived at Yao's house, Mrs. Yao greeted her in person.Jia Min took Daiyu inside to have a look, and there were already many female relatives present, presumably they were the families of Suzhou officials and local gentry and rich families.Lin Ruhai took Lin You directly to the front yard.

Mrs. Yao said: "When I left the capital, I haven't seen Mrs. Lin for more than ten years. Seeing you now, Mrs. Lin has hardly changed."

Jia Min laughed and said: "Although Mrs. Yao praised me, she didn't make me panic. I dare not admit to the compliments that haven't changed in ten years. But Mrs. Yao has become more energetic. It can be seen that the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River support people." Turning around and saying : "Yu'er, come and see Mrs. Yao."

The city of Suzhou is so big, and there are people walking among the big families.Many people in Suzhou know about Daiyu's powerful reputation.Hearing that Jia Min called a young girl with pink make-up to worship her, Mrs. Yao guessed that this was the young lady Lin who was under seven years old and was in charge of Zhongfu.

"This is Mrs. Lin's daughter. I'm not new to the world, but I've seen so many ladies, but I've never seen such a smart and outstanding one." He praised Daiyu and gave him a gift.

Daiyu thanked her politely, and Mrs. Yao introduced the female relatives who came today to Jia Min's mother and daughter. In addition to the female relatives of officials at all levels in Suzhou, there are also families of well-known gentry and rich families in the local area. Officer, I went back to my hometown for the New Year.

After the ceremony, Yao Ruo, the eldest granddaughter of Yao Guoan, took the girls to the garden, while the wife and the imperial servants talked in the house.

Thinking that the Yao family lives in the official residence of the governor's yamen, although the regulation is higher than that of the Yan government's yamen, but it will not have a private residence of an eunuch's family. The identity of the Yao family must have many guests today, so Daiyu only brought Chunshan He and Xueyan are two girls by his side, not even a nanny.

When we arrived at Yao's house, we saw that the house was full of guests and friends today, and there was a large group of maids and mothers-in-law behind each family's family members, which seemed a bit crowded.Daiyu only brought two waiters, which was convenient.

The first time Daiyu went back to Yao's house as a guest, she thought she didn't know any ladies from the family, but she met several acquaintances, among them were some girls from the same family, and Lin Yuzhu was also there.

Yao Ruo had a lot of ladies to entertain, and she thought she had done this before, or someone taught her, but she was well-behaved and well-behaved.Although there are quite a few charming guests today, it is the second year for Governor Yao to take office, and it is not the first time for most ladies to attend a banquet at the governor's mansion, and they are not very unfamiliar.

Yao Ruo first introduced Daiyu to everyone, then called Lin Yuzhu directly and said, "There are a lot of people here today, so please trouble Miss Yuzhu to take Miss Lin around. If there is anything wrong, Miss Lin just ask someone to come and follow me." Said, Miss Lin, please don't think I'm not entertaining you properly."

Daiyu just took a look at today's situation and knew that Yao Ruo would be busy all day, so she said with a smile: "Miss Yao just go, I'm here to talk to sister Yuzhu."

For this kind of banquet, ladies also have their own small circles, like the Lin family, except for Lin Ruhai, those who stay in Jiangsu and are still officials, the highest-ranking is Yuzhu's grandfather, who is a sixth-rank General judgment.Moreover, Lin Feng is not an official here, but in Zhenjiang Mansion.Zhenjiang Mansion is not far from Suzhou, so Yuzhu's family goes back to their hometown every year to celebrate the New Year.

There were many people coming to Yao's house today, Daiyu was not in the mood to wander around, so she found a warm pavilion to sit down and talk to a few girls from her family.

Suddenly I heard a young girl's voice saying to the maid beside me: "That table is very good, you go and tell the people on the table, let them move, I want to sit there."

The winter weather in Suzhou is also extremely cold. There are charcoal braziers burning in the warm pavilion. Although the charcoal used by the governor is excellent, there is almost no obvious smoke and dust, but any charcoal fire will produce some waste gas. There are too many people. After all, the smell in a ventilated place is not good.

When Daiyu's later generations visited Suzhou, they had visited the Governor's Yamen and the official residence. Before she came here today, she hadn't bothered to go shopping, so she chose a good seat, next to a half-opened glass window, which is bright and ventilated. Not only is it not cold, but you can also take a look at the scenery in the yard and a yard of beautiful ladies and jade through the window.

There is a poem in later generations called "you stand on the bridge to see the scenery, and the people who watch the scenery look at you upstairs". Although it is not as good as the ancient poems in terms of rhythm, the truth in it is worth pondering. The view from the governor's mansion is even better.

Hearing that someone was domineering about grabbing a seat, Daiyu didn't even look back. As soon as she entered the warm pavilion, she glanced at the table.The girls of the Lin family didn't go to play in the courtyard, and there were many empty tables in the warm pavilion, so Daiyu naturally picked the most comfortable one.At this moment, I think the girls outside are cold from walking around, and they come into the warm pavilion one after another, and some people are eager to win.

The girls of the Lin family are not of high background, and they used to come to such occasions, and they would not compete with others.In today's situation, Daiyu sensed her companion's embarrassment even before the girl on the other side opened her mouth.

Only then did Daiyu turn around, and saw a sister from the same family next to her was about to stand up, Daiyu stretched out her hand to pull her under the table, and the girl from the same family sat down again.Speaking of it, although Xunyan Yushi is a third-rank, the Youdu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a second-rank, the same level as Governor Yao, today's lady, Shu Daiyu has a high status, the girl from the same family thinks of this festival, and then she will be reborn. With confidence.

In fact, after a few years in the later generations, Daiyu has lost a bit of sectarianism than the ancients. As long as she is a good friend, Daiyu has never regarded her origin, but if someone wants to bully others, Daiyu does not mind using her identity .

It was the first time for Daiyu to attend the banquet of Governor Yao's house, but the girls from the Lin family had been here last year.Yuzhu was sitting on Daiyu's left. Seeing the maid coming quickly, she took Daiyu's hand and quickly wrote the three characters 'Participating in politics'.

Participating in politics is also to follow the three ranks, and to be in charge of money and valleys in one place.Although the rank is lower than that of the governor, he also has the right to play directly and reach the heavens; not only has quite independent administrative power in the management of the place, but also has great real power.Because Jiangnan paid half of the country's taxes, this dynasty not only attached great importance to the supervision of Jiangnan salt tea money valley, but also decentralized financial matters.For example, the Yanzheng Yamen is located in Yangzhou, the Governor's Yamen is located in Suzhou, and Jiangning Weaving is located in Jinling.In addition, in Jiangsu alone, there are two Daoists participating in politics, one in Jinling and one in Suzhou.

Yuzhu wrote the three characters of Canzhengdao on Daiyu's hand. Obviously, the girl who came to fight for the position was a girl from Fan Guangxi's family of Suzhou Canzhengdao.

Daiyu finally traveled back to her childhood, so she naturally had to fight for the fate of her family, so she paid special attention to collecting information on officials at all levels of the imperial court and local governments as soon as she came back from time travel.

Fan Guangxi has two sons and one daughter, and the youngest daughter is not yet of age. Judging from the young girl's age, she should be the youngest daughter of the Fan family, Fan Shi.

Fan Shi's father's rank is lower than Yao Ruo's grandfather, but she is the first daughter, and Yao Ruo's eldest granddaughter, so Fan Shi's status is higher than Yao Ruo's.But Yao Ruo is the host today, Fan Shi is the guest, Fan Shi will not try to force Yao Ruo, but Daiyu is different.

Daiyu was born to be extremely outstanding, even if she was placed among many beautiful women, people could see her at a glance.In this life, he eats a healthy diet and pays attention to exercise. In addition to being extremely handsome and unparalleled in beauty, he has added a kind of vitality and a demeanor that people can't take their eyes off.Although not yet seven years old, it is hard to ignore.

In addition, the news of Daiyu's actions spread, and it was said that the only son who was the first to patrol the salt censor fell into the water, and was rescued by the six-year-old girl of the Lin family.Because this incident was too shocking in the eyes of the public, the more it was spread out, no one would believe it. It can be seen that many people just love the gossip.

What's more, Daiyu swept away the faces of her uncles and brothers a few years ago, and just two days ago she dismissed several village chiefs.Because these two incidents happened in Suzhou, it was spread backwards.

Miss Lin's powerful reputation at such a young age, Lijia, is in great contrast to the cute and exquisite appearance of Yuxue in front of her. It is the first time for the Lin family to come to the governor's house as a guest. The wives and wives who came here are inevitably He cast his eyes on Daiyu.

Because Fan Shi had two direct brothers on his head and was extremely favored at home, he felt that a girl from the Lin family who didn't keep her hair should steal the limelight from him, and he felt displeased.But at the beginning, she didn't want to make trouble. All the respectable female relatives from all over Suzhou came. If she was not looking for Miss Lin for no reason, it would be boring.

But Fan Shi took a nanny and four maids to the Nuan Pavilion for a look, and then came up with an idea, and ordered the close maid to let Daiyu change seats at the table.

Fan Shi's girl walked to the table, leaned forward and said, "Girls, our girl likes this table, can I ask some girls to move to another table?"

Chun Shan stood up and said, "You girls like this table, so tell the governor's wife? If the governor's wife agrees, no one will stop you from moving the table. What are you talking about to our girl?"

Daiyu pursed her lips, and once traveled to the next generation, she no longer treated the servants in the house as slaves, but treated the employees more like the boss of the later generations.However, as his personal maid, Chun Shan was in the position of secretary, and it was his duty to take care of insignificant troubles for him.

With a puff, Daiyu and Xueyan didn't make a sound, but there were always some girls and maids in the room who were made to laugh out loud by Chunshan's words.

Fan Shi's girl never expected that the girl here was so eloquent, and she didn't play cards according to the routine, so she blushed immediately.But on such an occasion, once you make a move, you have to compete, otherwise your own girl will not be able to hold her head up when she goes out to socialize in the future.

So the servant girl paused for a while, sorted out her thoughts, and said with a smile: "This girl is joking, our girls like the seats near the window, please ask the girls to change seats. Our girls will not bother the girls to move in vain. , there will be a thank you."

Chun Shan also laughed, and said: "Our girls like to be quiet, please go out, don't make our girls brain hurt by making so much noise. Our girls won't bother your girls to move in vain, there will be a thank you." He was smiling, but whether the smile was real or not, the people watching the excitement in the room could also see it.Chun Shan felt contemptuous in his heart: what thing?This girl must have been favored too much at home, and she was too arrogant to restrain herself when she went out. She wanted to steal the girl's position and give her something to get rid of?What do you think of your own girl?That being the case, Chunshan treated his body in his own way.

Chunshan was the son of the Lin family, and Daiyu waited on her pen and ink while she was studying. She also knew how to read and write. A servant of a century-old family, she was neither humble nor overbearing, and she returned the other party's arrogance intact while talking and laughing.

These words naturally aroused some laughter, people like to be lively, the scenery in the warm pavilion is much more beautiful than in the courtyard.

But after all, today's chicks are all decent girls in Suzhou. In fact, no one laughed out loud in a room full of ladies, but those few who couldn't help but accidentally jumped out of the chuckle were even more piercing. .In fact, Chun Shan just returned the contempt of the girl from Fan's family intact, but Fan Shi, as if feeling extremely humiliated, winked at the nurse beside him.

"What an unruly girl, our girl has something to discuss with your master, how can you, a girl, have the room to interrupt again and again? I know..." Hearing this, Daiyu probably knew that the nanny was going to do it next time. Whatever he said, he interrupted her in a timely manner.

Daiyu stretched out her hand, and said: "Who has something to discuss with me? Why don't you see the greeting card? I know, but you are servants who have forgotten the rules. I don't know..." But Daiyu finally left it for the Fan family. For saving face, I didn't say the rest.

But those present were all from officials and eunuchs, and anyone who was not confused could understand the rest of the sentence: it was nothing more than 'I don't know, I thought the Fan family was taught like this'.However, it was not that Daiyu wanted to be mean, it was said by the mother of the Fan family to be mean to the Lin family, so Daiyu cut her off and asked the Fan family first.

In this case, whether it is true or not, it is really meaningless to be said in public.The girls sitting at the same table as Daiyu are all girls from the Lin family. They are not speaking to Daiyu alone, but to the Gusu Lin family.If people really tell people that 'the Lin family's tutoring is nothing more than this' in public, they will lose the opportunity to try to make amends in the future.So Daiyu must be the first.

Daiyu also took back the second half of the really mean words. The first few words alone were serious to the master and servant of the Fan family. In Fan Shi's opinion, wouldn't the Lin family treat such humiliating people?The Fan family is not a small family.He completely forgot that the Lin family was just using her means to pay her back.

But the nanny of the Fan family, who was originally Fan Shi's nanny, has lived at this age, and is much better than Fan Shi's trial time. Miss Lin can say what she wants first, and I am afraid that there will be no one in my group today. It's the big girl's opponent.

He's not an opponent, but he can't admit defeat either. The girls in the room are watching.The nanny was in a hurry, and Yao Ruo rushed over after hearing the news.

Today Yao Ruo was in charge of entertaining ladies and had been busy for half a day. He had just sat down and had a sip of tea when he heard that there was a conflict in the Nuan Pavilion and hurried over.Daiyu also knows that this matter is not a big one today, if there is a conflict here, someone will report it, even if it is for the sake of the master's family, the elders on both sides will each take a step back.

"Ashi, Miss Lin, what's the matter with you? But is there any misunderstanding?" Yao Ruo asked.

Fan Shi and Yao Ruo were more acquainted. Seeing Yao Ruo coming, he acted preemptively and said first: "Ah Ruo, when I come back to your house, I always sit at that table in the Nuan Pavilion, but today I called a few small households." What's the point of the woman taking the lead?"

Yao Ruo frowned when she heard this, and said, "Ah Shi, what are you talking about? This Miss Lin is the daughter of Mr. Lin, the inspector of salt and censor Lin. She is originally a descendant of Liehou, and she is also from a scholarly family, so she comes from a wealthy family." Then he turned around and smiled apologetically at Daiyu: "Miss Lin, don't be angry, Ah Shi may have admitted the wrong person."

Fan Shi pretended to be surprised when he heard this, and said, "Ah? So she is the prostitute daughter of the Xunyan Yushi's family. I'm sorry, but I saw that Miss Lin only had two servant girls, one big and one small, with her. I thought it was a small family girl who dared to come to the governor's yamen to make up for it."

Naturally, Fan Shi knew that Daiyu was sitting by the window, but she was not angry with Daiyu. It was only when she saw that Daiyu had only two servants that she came up with a plan. She wanted to ask for a few words to vent her anger. He came and said she wasn't, but he just said that there were too few servants around him, so he thought it was a woman from a small family who exposed her.

Officials pay attention to the rules of family background, this good seat itself is reserved for high status, women from small families are not worthy of this table, as long as you don't know Miss Lin's identity, and tell them to move the seat, no one can blame yourself.Who told Miss Lin to only bring two maids?Don't even have a nanny around?

Naturally, Fan Shi didn't expect that a girl next to Miss Lin opened her mouth and instantly killed her own girl; when Miss Lin opened her mouth, she even derogated her own servants in her words, and alluded to her family style outside the picture.

Therefore, Fan Shi knew Daiyu's identity, but pretended not to know it, and deliberately used a slightly exaggerated tone to say what Miss Lin was saying, so that he could relieve his anger a little.Now that the elders are here, no matter how eloquent the girl of the Lin family is, if she talks back, she will be a failure.

Sure enough, Daiyu didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and smiled, stood up, and walked to Jia Min's side.

Originally, Fan Shi felt that he had belittled Daiyu. Many people heard that and had already recovered their face. Seeing that Daiyu didn't seem to care, and she didn't look angry at all, Fan Shi became angry again.The boudoir quarreled, and the party who was already so angry to death fell behind.

Daiyu didn't say anything, and she didn't complain, but Mrs. Fan couldn't pretend that she didn't hear anything.So he smiled and said to Jia Min: "Mrs. Lin, Shi'er has been spoiled by me. Don't blame her for her outspokenness." Then he turned around and tapped Fan Shi's nose, and said, "This Miss Lin is an inspector. How can Shi'er talk nonsense about the daughter of Lord Yushi?"

When Fan Shi saw Daiyu's indifferent face, he became angry. Seeing that his mother did not suppress him to apologize to the other party, he felt a little better, and muttered: "Mother, I just admitted the wrong person."

Seeing that Daiyu's expression was relaxed, she didn't look like she was at a disadvantage, so she laughed at Mrs. Fan's protective behavior, took Daiyu's hand, and said: "Yu'er had a good time today, who are the ladies you met? "The mother and daughter went to talk.

There are so many people watching, for no reason, it's boring to use their tongues to make everyone watch a lively scene. Neither Jia Min nor Mrs. Fan wanted to lose their dignity, so they took their daughters and left. , forget it.

After the elders had dispersed, several girls from the Lin family got together again, and said to Daiyu, "I'm scared to death, sister, aren't you afraid?" In terms of age, Daiyu is the youngest.

Yuzhu was considered steady, and said to Daiyu: "Miss Fan Shi is relying on her status, and we will not compete with her. It is the first time I have seen her being so angry. My sister is capable, and so are the people around her. Ability." The argument just now, which daughter of the Lin family didn't feel happy?Come here as a guest happily, if there is no Daiyu, I really have to give up my seat.Although it is due to identity, it is meaningless after all.

Daiyu smiled lightly, this matter was nothing more than a boudoir conflict, but Daiyu felt that Fan Shi's inexplicable hostility towards her may not have come from the boudoir, go back and ask her father which prince the Fan family prefers, and you will know Why did this farce start today?

"This kind of person will push his nose and face. In the future, when my sister encounters this kind of thing, it will be over if she doesn't let it go. The elders on the left and right will come to mediate soon. Those who have no face are those who make trouble without reason." Daiyu said to the girls in her family .

The girls of the Lin family thought it was true.This younger sister from Yangzhou is just good-looking, why is she so smart?
