The footsteps stopped at the Suiyou Pavilion, Jasmine was afraid that the stone bench would be too cold, so she summoned the little maid who followed her to call Xiaozi, who went to the small room to get the usual white peony flower embroidered mat, and another maid called Xiaoqing. Went to the waiter for refreshments.

In the Suiyou Pavilion, Xiangzhu is planted on the side, and there is a shallow pond in front of it. It is not yet summer, and there are green lotus leaves one after another, and koi carps of three colors swim underneath.

Not long after Daiyu sat down, Xueyan and Wang Momo followed closely, accompanying her around.

After sitting for a while, I went back to take a lunch break.

In the evening, before Lin Ruhai came back, Daiyu finally saw her mother after many years: Jia Min was sitting on the couch, wearing homely clothes, with only a blue jadeite hairpin on her head, and her face was a little tired. It looked quite weak, and there were two big maids accompanying her, and two other aunts were standing beside her.

"Yu'er, come to Mother's side." Jia Min waved to Daiyu, and Daiyu ran into Jia Min's arms, her warm body made Daiyu hard to be depressed: Is there any way for her mother to keep her.

"Look at you." Jia Min has always shown her like a treasure, and would not say anything when she feels unwell, holding Daiyu in one hand, while ordering: "Go and see when the master will come back?"

The maid outside the door came back with her hands down: "Master just sent Yi Ming over to deliver a message, saying that he will be back for dinner in three quarters."

Jia Min looked at Daiyu who was tightly in her arms, first let the people below spread the word and set the meal four minutes later, and looked at the two aunts below: "It's easy to be late this day, it's been a hard day, I don't need you to wait on me now Alright, go back to your room for your own use."

Aunt Li, who was a little older, wearing a golden yoke on her head, and Aunt Yao, who was younger, wearing a peach red dress, both smiled and thanked: "Thank you Madam for your understanding, the servants will go back soon." The little maid left.

"Yu'er, let Jasmine wait on you first, and then buy a few more to serve you." Jia Min stroked Daiyu's hair, looked at Wang Momo and Xueyan below, feeling a little dissatisfied, always Feeling that the number of people was a bit small, I wondered if there was any suitable candidate, so I asked Du Juan beside me, "Please help to see if there is any suitable candidate."

Du Juan is the third-generation maid promoted by Jia Min after she came to Lin's mansion. Her mother is Jia Min's dowry maid who later married Lin Zhong, the manager of the Lin family. She is 16 years old now. My daughter begged, and she was going to get married in two years, so it was really not suitable for Daiyu.

"I do have one candidate, the tea maid in the room, named Lumei." Du Juan thought of the smiling sweet-mouthed maid.

"Okay, let's call someone over to take a look."

After a while, a maid wearing a light green jacket was brought in, and respectfully kowtowed to Jia Min: "Greetings, madam."

"Get up, tell me what you usually do." Jia Min waved people to get up.

"The servant girl is responsible for cleaning the floor of the west wing, adding water and tea to the room, and helping to dry it in the backyard." The green plum man looks a little festive, with a round face flushed, big eyes, and a smile that feels like a lucky baby. Age about seven or eight years old.

Jia Min looked a little satisfied, so she asked Daiyu, "What does Yu'er think?"

"Let's go with her." A maid with this kind of appearance cannot do things in front of her. If she is in Rongguo Mansion, she will be a rough envoy, and Lumei will be a second-class maid here.

"Which family are you from?" Jia Min asked.

"The maidservant's mother belongs to Wang Gui's family." Lumei hurriedly replied, and Jia Min remembered the round face of Wang Gui, the housekeeper for foreign affairs, and couldn't help laughing: "It's no wonder, from now on, you will follow Yu'er and change your name to Bailing, Xue Yan’s name was too lonely, so I changed it to Thrush.”

After Huamei and Bailing knelt down and kowtowed their heads again, Lin Ruhai also came back.

After the family of three had a meal, Jia Min saw that Daiyu's appetite improved a lot, and she was happy, so she kept talking. Lin Ruhai looked at the mother and daughter and said with a smile: "Yu'er is getting older, and I want to find a gentleman to cook for Yu'er." It’s a coincidence that I just met someone recommending it today.”

Jia Min thought for a while: "I don't know what kind of person you recommend? Good or bad?"

Lin Ruhai thought about it for a while: "I have a previous record as a Jinshi, but I haven't inquired about it." Jia Min said softly: "Teaching Yu'er to read is nothing more than being able to read and understand things. It is true that morality must be selected."

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, I will naturally inquire carefully."

Daiyu was young, and this time she was drowsy. Jia Min asked Nanny Wang, Thrush, and Bailing to take Daiyu back to the room first. Seeing them leave, Jia Min felt a little uncomfortable, and sighed: "It would be great if Rui'er was still here." Lin Rui is Aunt Li's child. He was born weak. He was so weak that he didn't even cry when he was born. The doctor decided that he would not be able to raise him for a hundred days. Keeping him alive, who knows that he still won't live to be three years old.

"That's all, it's great to have Yu'er Chenghuan now." Lin Ruhai knew that his son's breathing was weak, and he also went to several famous doctors to see it, and he knew it clearly: "Don't work too hard, the weather is sometimes warm and sometimes hot. Han, it’s still not yet the summer solstice, so I’d better take care of myself so that I can watch Yu’er get married.”

Jia Min had a few miscarriages, and finally got Daiyu with great difficulty.

"I'll save this, master, you'd better rest early, you have to go to the yamen to do business in the morning."

Looking at his wife who has been with him for many years, Lin Ruhai will not stick to her, and the two of them just have nothing to say all night.

Summer is approaching, Daiyu has been weak since ancient times, she was very envious of the happy Bailing, she once looked at Wang Momo and secretly asked: "Bailing Bailing, you look very healthy, is there any way to make the girl me same as you."

Bailing was shocked, thinking that Daiyu was so weak, if she looked like herself, she would scare her parents to death: "Look at what the girl said, Bailing has looked like this since she was a child, she must not be compared with the girl."

"Hey, I still want to be as healthy as you." Daiyu lowered her head regretfully, her eyebrows couldn't see her eyes: "If you really want to be as healthy as Bailing, you have to rely on me."

Daiyu raised her head sharply when she heard the words, her eyes sparkled: "What good advice do you have, Thrush? Teach me, the girl." Bai Ling was also very curious, and when Thrush was watched by two people, he hurriedly said: "Don't tell others!" The individual nodded sharply.

Then Huamei whispered: "I saw those people who are extra healthy, like the blacksmith's uncle, who get up early to work and go to bed early in the evening. I don't want to rest at night so I don't have energy. I think that's the reason. The girl sits in the room every day and doesn't like to walk around. As the saying goes, walking a hundred steps after a meal can live a long time. This is an old saying. Listen. It also makes sense!"

Daiyu was deep in thought, and Thrush worked harder: "We must not allow girls to do work in the room in our courtyard. Girls can walk around! Walking more every day, and insisting more is not a hundred steps!"

Daiyu looked at Huamei as if awakened: "It really is a good idea, I will trouble you to stay with me from now on."

Thrush and Bailing nodded: "That's natural."

Lin Ruhai listened to the reply from the people below: "Master Jia was dismissed by the Holy Spirit last year. Many adults were very happy at that time. The reason for dismissal was greed." After frowning for a while, he told Wang Gui: "It's okay to look at some people with good conduct, and ask around." After Wang Gui answered, he searched for a long time before he found a fifth-rank senior civil official who had retired and prepared to retire in Yangzhou.
