'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

When the willows sprout buds, the yellow lotus flowers bloom.Daiyu boarded the ship heading for Yangzhou, and the journey was safe and smooth; eighteen days later, the ship arrived in Yangzhou City smoothly.Mother Jia sent someone to send a letter to Lin Ruhai, telling Lin Ruhai about Daiyu's return to Yangzhou.

Lin Ruhai was eager to think about her daughter, and personally led someone to meet her at the ferry.The father and daughter shared a carriage, and Lin Ruhai and Daiyu sat on the east and west sides.

Lin Ruhai hadn't seen Daiyu for many years, and he had a thousand words in his heart. When he met him suddenly, he really didn't know what to say for a while.Tears of excitement swirled in her eyes, and her eyes were fixed on Daiyu.

It was the first time Daiyu saw Lin Ruhai, and she also watched him secretly; she was about fifty, very thin, and although there were some wrinkles on her face, the handsomeness between her brows was still there, she had a goatee beard, and her face was kind.

When meeting him for the first time, Daiyu's demeanor would inevitably show a sense of unfamiliarity, Lin Ruhai might have misunderstood her, she always smiled at Lin Ruhai from time to time.

Lin Ruhai always hoped that her daughter would be happy and not cry, but now seeing her smiling and fulfilling her wish, she felt sore and uncomfortable.There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart that his daughter was forcing a smile, afraid that he would worry.

Lin Ruhai recalled that when he sent Daiyu away, Daiyu was only seven years old, and her head was less than his waist.Four years have passed, and Daiyu has grown taller, her forehead has exceeded his chest, she has grown more beautiful, and her temperament has become more lively than before.Even though his daughter was unfamiliar with him, he still didn't regret sending Daiyu to the Rong Mansion. Looking at her changes, it was indeed the mother-in-law who taught her well.

The car suddenly bumped, Daiyu was caught off guard, checked and fell, and was caught by Lin Ruhai in time.Daiyu turned her head to look at Lin Ruhai gratefully, and suddenly, the brute force from the other party pulled her into her arms from nowhere.Lin Ruhai stroked Daiyu's cheek with his hand, letting Daiyu's little head snuggle into his arms.

Daiyu knew that this hug contained a father's love for his daughter. She didn't struggle or make a sound, and stayed in Lin Ruhai's arms obediently.Along with the big or small bumps of the carriage, Daiyu dangled in Lin Ruhai's arms, unexpectedly comfortable, her eyelids opened and closed and fought.

Suddenly, Daiyu felt the ups and downs of her chest against her cheek.Daiyu raised her head, just as she saw a drop of crystal tear falling down onto her face.Daiyu hurriedly escaped from Lin Ruhai's arms, and hurriedly pulled out her handkerchief to wipe Lin Ruhai's tears.

"Father!" Daiyu didn't know how to persuade Lin Ruhai, and after a long time of deliberation, only these two words came out of her disappointing mouth.

"Hey, my son!" Lin Ruhai hugged Daiyu tightly, and after a while, held Daiyu's pretty face, slowly rubbing her fingertips from her forehead to her chin.There was light in Lin Ruhai's eyes, and infinite memories were revealed in his dark pupils.

"Looks more and more like your mother!"

Lin Ruhai sighed, eyes half-downcast, with a faint smile embedded in the corner of his mouth, as if he was recalling the time when he was young and frivolous.

The speed of the carriage slowed down, and gradually there were lively shouts and voices outside the carriage.

Lin Ruhai motioned Daiyu to look out the window, and asked her with a smile, "How is this place compared to Kyoto?"

Daiyu saw the clamorous explanations outside through the window screen, and replied with a smile: "It is not inferior to the prosperity of the capital city at all."

"Yes," Lin Ruhai nodded triumphantly, stroking his beard. "Does Yu'er still remember this place? This is Xishi Street."

Xi Shi Street?What a joke, of course she doesn't know!Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai anxiously, her heart pounding, not knowing how to answer him.

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai didn't notice what was wrong with Daiyu, and he still talked to Daiyu with great interest: "This street was once a famous 'stinky street' in Yangzhou City, but now it has been transformed into the most prosperous street market, even the streets of Xirong and Persia. Merchants all ran over to set up shop."

Hearing what he said, Daiyu looked out of the window curiously, and took a closer look at the prosperous scene outside. There was a lot of people coming and going on the street.The carriage was passing by a steamed stuffed bun shop, it was noon now, and the shop was already overcrowded.Looking at another rouge shop, four or five women have entered and exited in the blink of an eye.

Daiyu smiled and agreed with Lin Ruhai, thinking that Lin Ruhai's intentional mention must have something to do with him.Guessing: "Daughter guesses that the idea of ​​building a street market is the father's credit."

"Oh, absolutely not." Lin Ruhai waved his hand to reject, and said with a smile: "Being a father is just being instructed by others, and I dare not be greedy for credit. He is indeed a smart man, being a father is just running errands for him."

Scholars are unavoidable to be proud of their talents, not to mention that Lin Ruhai has a previous record and is full of talents. From Lin Daiyu's aloof temperament, it can be deduced that Lin Ruhai must have a whole body of pride.The person who can make such a talented second-rank Xunyan Yushi say such a thing must not be a simple person.

Daiyu was curious, and asked who Lin Ruhai was, but she was really curious about what kind of person could make Lin Ruhai praise so much.

The carriage suddenly passed through the market, turned east, and picked up speed.Lin Ruhai looked out the window and said, "We're almost there, let's go home and tell you in detail."

Daiyu nodded, and when the carriage stopped, she got off first, followed by Lin Ruhai.The father and daughter supported each other and entered Lanyuxuan.

This courtyard is slightly bigger than the Cuiyu Pavilion where she used to live, with seven houses, three in the front and four in the back.Lin Ruhai led her to the main room, and through the flower hall, it was the bedroom where she rested. Lin Ruhai and Daiyu sat down outside the bedroom.Daiyu looked around at the layout of the room. It was simple and unadorned. There were a few calligraphy and paintings of famous artists hanging on the wall, and a bookshelf was attached to the back wall, which was filled with books of various styles.In front of the bookshelf is a red sandalwood desk, on which there are all kinds of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, neatly arranged.There is a window three meters away on the right side of the desk, and there are two pots of tender green and elegant orchids on the window sill.

"After you left, the layout here hasn't been touched. It's still the same as it was four years ago. I don't know if you like it or not. Just tell Zhou Pu what you want in exchange and let him run errands."

As soon as Lin Ruhai instructed Daiyu, a servant girl came to tell the magistrate of Yangzhou that Lin Ruhai had to leave to handle business.

Daiyu brought back three servant girls Xueyan, Zijuan and Chunxian, as well as the nanny Wang Momo.Xueyan and Wang Momo are from this family background, so they must be excited to return to their homeland.After they took care of Daiyu's arrangement, they asked for leave to visit relatives and old friends, promising to come back before dinner.

In the evening, Nanny Wang came back early to serve Daiyu, while Xueyan ran back a little later.Because she was afraid of being punished by the girl, she ran fast and bumped into Aunt Zhong who came out of the courtyard.

Aunt Zhong swept the bumped clothes with a handkerchief in disgust, and scolded Xueyan for not having eyes.Xueyan never looked down on Aunt Zhong, she gave her a blank look, and apologized insincerely.

Aunt Zhong hated the servants looking down on her the most, she got into a fight with Xue Yan and insisted on Xue Yan kneeling down to apologize.Aunt Xia who came with Aunt Zhong was a peacemaker, she was most afraid of making things worse, so she quickly persuaded Aunt Zhong to stop.

Aunt Zhong was not convinced, and shouted: "A little girl like her rides on my head? Is it because you have a sister to support you? No matter how old a sister is, if you violate the family law, you will not be able to protect you!"

After all, Xueyan was young and couldn't beat her, so she cried aggrievedly.

Aunt Xia couldn't persuade Aunt Zhong, so she had to persuade Xueyan, and said softly to her: "Aunt Zhong is half the master after all, the girl is soft-spoken, please give her face. If you want to make a fuss over such a trivial matter Master, we can only be ashamed."

Xueyan was also afraid that Daiyu would scold her, so she lowered her head and stared at Aunt Zhong's shoes to make amends: "I was wrong, please forgive me, Aunt Zhong."

"Hmph!" Aunt Zhong was very dissatisfied with Xueyan's reluctance, she snorted coldly, turned her side and ignored her.

Xueyan secretly glanced at Aunt Zhong, not wanting to stay any longer, and ran into the house in a fit of anger.I lifted the curtain to see Daiyu quietly reading a book in the inner room, then retreated, and complained to Zijuan who was setting the meal.

Zijuan came to Yangzhou for the first time, and he didn't know the relationship between the personnel of the Lin Mansion, so he couldn't figure it out.Ask Xueyan who Aunt Zhong and Aunt Xia are.

Wang Momo heard this when she entered the door, and replied on her behalf: "These two are concubines taken by our master. Aunt Xia was once the master's concubine, and she was the son of the Lin family. Aunt Zhong, she is very kind on weekdays. Aunt Zhong is younger, and when his wife was sick, she came in to cheer her up, and she has a tendency to be stubborn, so we can hide when we can, it’s better not to provoke."

Zicuckoo nodded clearly.But Xueyan was not convinced. Thinking of the cowardice she suffered just now, she became angry, pinched her waist and said, "Why hide from her, she is a tigress, can she go past our girl? If she dares to be rude again, I will go!" Tell the girl, let the girl beg the master to divorce that guy, and let her cry to death."

"Girl?" Chunxian was dumbfounded.

Xueyan believed that Daiyu was reading a book. She knew the girl's habits, and she couldn't hear the thunder when she was reading.So she thought that Chunxian was joking with her, and scolded her: "Little girl, do you think you can scare me?"

At this time, Zijuan and Wang Momo looked up and saw Daiyu, and gave Xueyan a wink. Xueyan realized that it was true, and turned her head regretfully, seeing her own girl, and became embarrassed.Daiyu looked at her with a smile, and Xueyan also grinned back, but her smile was uglier than crying.

Xueyan was worried, seeing the girl walking towards her, she shrank her head in fright.Unexpectedly, the girl passed her by and walked to the door.Xueyan, Zijuan and others turned around and looked outside the door.

Aunt Zhong and Aunt Xia are standing on the stone steps outside the door!

Aunt Zhong had a dirty face, her chest was heaving with anger, Aunt Xia supported her, and when she saw Daiyu coming, she hurried forward to salute, with a soft smile on her face.

Aunt Zhong followed suit, and when she stood up and raised her head, she deliberately glanced at the snow geese behind Daiyu.The eyeballs moved a bit, and the eyelids suddenly closed tightly, and wept loudly.Aunt Zhong tugged at Daiyu's sleeve and complained: "Elder sister, did you hear what that damn girl just said? Who doesn't know that our elder sister is the most sensible, you have to make the decision for me."
