Warriors in the Red Chamber

Chapter 25 Lantern Festival Father and Daughter Lantern Appreciation

Hearing this, Situ Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth. It has to be said that they really have a tacit understanding.

Situ Yu lightly tapped the folding fan in his hand and asked: "Are you really planning to join the Xuanling Army in the next year?" Xiao Zhiyuan smiled lightly and said, "Of course, it is my honor that His Royal Highness Prince Rui is willing to teach me. As for those words, Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have not forgotten, but we are all too young, and the strength in our hands is too weak, aren't we?"

Hearing this, Situ Yu fell silent.No matter how many thoughts he had, he had to hide them, but one day the mountains and rivers would be under his feet, and those ambitions would come true one day.

Xiao Zhiyuan looked at the young prince and smiled indifferently, he was still much inferior to the person in front of him, at least he couldn't think of such things at his age.Sure enough, the environment is the best teacher.

Situ Yu got the promise he wanted and went back to his yard. Not surprised to see the person waiting there, put away his emotions and say hello to "Uncle Emperor"

Situ Rui looked at his nephew with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's too deep, you should rest earlier!" After speaking, he turned and left.

What does Situ Yu mean by frowning, waiting here but not saying anything.

On the second day, Gu Yi and Xiao Zhiyuan left.

Lin's mansion was rather lonely, but fortunately there was Situ Rui and his party.Daiyu was not used to it at first, but with Situ Jin's daily company and Situ Yu who was no longer going out of the house, it was fine.

Situ Yu is much older. Although he doesn't play around with them, he still looks at his younger brother every day when he has nothing to do in the mansion. His relationship with Dai Yu is also much better. Although there are several princesses in the palace, but Firstly, his biological mother passed away early, and he has no sister from his compatriots, and secondly, the women in this palace are so simple, so being with the princesses is just a matter of face.But because this girl from the Lin family is the only daughter in the family, the Lin family's back house is clean, but there are fewer calculations by the women in the palace, and more innocence.

After coming down several times, Situ Yu treated her like a younger sister, with a little more sincere love.

But such days did not last long, after all, the end of the year was approaching.Although Situ Rui was unwilling to leave, there were no princes or princes who would not return to Beijing for the new year, so finally at the end of the year, the group hurried back to the capital.

After all, the Lin Mansion fell silent. Fortunately, Lin Hai has nothing to do at the moment, and spends most of his free time at home with his daughter.

As a result, Daiyu also relieved the sorrow caused by the successive partings, and she was very happy to study with her father every day.

On New Year's Eve, only Daiyu and Lin Hai's father and daughter seemed a little lonely. Daiyu thought that last year when her mother was still there, her family was happy and harmonious, and she was a little sad.

Lin Hai caressed Daiyu's head and silently comforted her daughter.Soon Daiyu cheered up and smiled at Lin Hai: "Daddy, Yu'er is fine, I still have Daddy."

Looking at the smiling Daiyu Linhai, he felt distressed and said, "Yes, Yu'er still has Daddy."

When Lin Hai was bored watching the new year, he simply asked someone to fetch the piano, and played it with Daiyu. It was the first time that Daiyu knew that his father could play the piano.

He was very surprised for a while, but Lin Hai felt a little embarrassed. He naturally learned the six arts of a gentleman when he was young, but later he was busy with business and rarely had such leisure time.

Now that I think about it, I missed it, but just playing the piano reminded me of the person who was far away in the capital.Piano and flute ensemble is their favorite thing to do in their spare time.

Thinking of his promise to come back as soon as possible after the next year when he left, the corners of Lin Hai's mouth rose slightly.

Daiyu looked at her father strangely, it seemed that her father was in a good mood, why?

The first month is coming soon, the Lin family has no relatives, no wife in the inner courtyard, and Daiyu is still in the filial piety period, so there are not many people to invite.Daiyu and Lin Hai only went to the homes of a few relatives in the same family, and there was nothing else.

As an important figure in the Jiangnan officialdom, Lin Hai is not so free, and there are still a lot of things to do in the first month.In addition, the members of Jia's family still gave New Year's gift a few years ago, but after such a long time, they didn't mention the previous faux pas, and the New Year's gift was just mediocre.Lin Hai just sneered and ignored it.For Yu'er, he won't cut off this relative, but that's all.

Daiyu also got the news, and felt a little melancholy for a while, although she had never seen her before, but it was her mother's natal family anyway, so it was impossible if she really had no idea.In particular, Daiyu had heard Jia Min talk about some things about her natal family, so she could see that her mother still had feelings for her grandparents' family, so she felt even more depressed.

The maids were too young to persuade Daiyu, but Mammy Liu and the others got the news so they were able to enlighten Daiyu.

After Situ Rui reconciled with Lin Hai, Nanny Liu returned to Daiyu's side, but she could see some things clearly.Instead, he straightened his mentality and truly treated Daiyu as a little master.

Regarding the Jia family's affairs, she was disdainful and persuaded Daiyu without showing it on the surface: "Miss, think about it, even though it is the grandfather's family, it is an outsider after all. Doesn't it make the master worry about being sad for outsiders?"

Daiyu smiled wryly and said, "I understand what Mammy means, but it's just that I don't think it's worth it for my mother."

Although Nanny Liu doesn't like Jia Min, death is the most important thing, besides, Daiyu's biological mother can't be brought out anyway, but it's better to stay away from Jia's girl.He just said: "The master loves the girl, so naturally he won't let the girl be wronged, but there are some things that the girl still needs to know. Not all of these big families are like this. The Rongguo Mansion was good in the past, but since Rongguo Mansion After the Duke went, he lost his dignity, but fortunately, the wife is like the old Duke Rong."

Daiyu was very surprised when she heard this and said: "Mama's words are true. I heard from my mother that although my grandfather's family is estranged from our family, it is the Duke's family. Does my grandmother care?"

Grandma Liu stroked Daiyu's head and said, "My wife is far away in Yangzhou and I don't know something. I have heard some rumors in Beijing these years, so I can't tell the girl."

"Mama said it herself. Although I am young, I will not discriminate between right and wrong. I am afraid that Daddy will return to Beijing in the future. I have a good idea, don't I?"

Hearing this, Grandma Liu said: "I said that this Rongguo Duke's mansion is not very good, it's nothing else. Speaking of which, our family's population is simple and there is nothing wrong with it. Those big families have a lot of right and wrong, and the means of the inner house, etc. Let's talk about it when the girl is older. But the Rongguo Mansion only said two points. One is that there is no distinction between seniority and inferiority. The eldest girls of the younger generation are well-bred, but the girls of this family are sent to the palace to be female officials. For what reason, I don’t know. Mammy."

Daiyu was silent when she heard the words, it's everyone's business to be left or right.

Although Nanny Liu didn't want Daiyu to have an impression of the Jia family, she was too late. There were a lot of things going on in the Jia family, so seeing that Daiyu had lost interest, she stopped mentioning it.

Daiyu listened to Mammy Liu's advice, and didn't want Lin Hai to worry, but left the Jia family alone.

Lin Hai was also very happy to see Daiyu's smiling face. Although he didn't like the Jia family, he couldn't say these things to his daughter. He couldn't do anything by himself if he told his daughter that the wife's family was not good.It was much better if Madam Liu persuaded him on her behalf. At this moment, Lin Hai was still lucky to invite Mama, and he still needs to be taught about the inner house.

In order to make Daiyu happier, Lin Hai decided to take her daughter out to watch the lanterns as it happened to be the Lantern Festival.

Daiyu was very happy when she got the news the day before, but she was looking forward to the dark the next day, looking at Lin Hai and shaking her head, but naturally he was also happy when his daughter was happy.

It's a pity that Dr. Zheng blocked him before going out. Looking at the bowl of soup, Lin Hai's face twitched, and finally he drank it in one gulp under Daiyu's expectant eyes.I don't admit that I wanted to be lazy about today's medicine at the beginning.

Ever since Situ Rui found out that he was in poor health, he followed Imperial Physician Zheng to collect a lot of prescriptions for health maintenance, and Lin Hai fell into a pitiful situation of drinking medicine every day. At first, he opposed it, but Situ Rui was more ruthless. Daiyu was directly encouraged.

Under the oppression of the big and the small, Lin Hai naturally didn't dare to be careless and could only accept it.

Seeing that Lin Hai finished drinking the medicine honestly, Imperial Physician Zheng nodded in satisfaction. You must know that His Royal Highness Prince Rui had deliberately found him before he left. If Lin Hai drank less medicine for a day, he would be punished. It must be counted, but Dr. Zheng said that he didn't want to try it at all.

After drinking the medicine, Lin Hai took Daiyu and hurried away, ignoring the words of Imperial Physician Zheng behind him telling him to come back early to rest.Anyway, that person is not there, so it doesn't matter.

Daiyu blinked and looked at her father's behavior and said with a sneer, "Daddy, are you afraid that Uncle Rui will be angry when he comes back?"

Lin Hai's expression froze and he hurriedly said with a straight face: "What is Yu'er talking about? How can the prince care about this when he is so busy."

Daiyu didn't believe her father's words anymore, Uncle Rui obviously cared about her father, and even told her that she would be back in the first month.

When Uncle Rui came back, she told his father that he didn't want to take medicine. Yu'er took the medicine obediently, but fortunately, Yu'er's food was already a medicated diet, so she didn't need to take medicine.

Daiyu looked at her father, thinking that the medicine is indeed a bit bitter, otherwise, why don't you tell Uncle Rui?But what if Dad doesn't take the medicine next time?Xiao Daiyu was a little confused.

Lin Hai didn't know what he was thinking about his daughter. After arriving at the market, there were so many people. Just in case, Lin Hai held Daiyu in his arms and followed a few servants to avoid being squeezed by the crowd.

The customs in the south of the Yangtze River are not as strict as those in the capital, and it is the Lantern Festival, and everyone's ladies will come out to see it accompanied by their families on this day.

Therefore, Daiyu didn't wear a gauze hat or anything. At this moment, Xiao Daiyu's attention had already been attracted by the dazzling array of lanterns on the street.
