'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

"Well, it's a good job." Lin Zhixiao's family sighed, thinking about what people around her could recommend to Ping'er, one shows that she can do things well, and the other is that this cheap and good job can be arranged for acquaintances , it can be regarded as a favor she throws out, and sooner or later it will be reciprocated.Lin Zhixiao's family tried their best to search for someone who met Ping'er's requirements in their minds, good at martial arts, familiar with the road, and reliable... Lin Zhixiao's family's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Yes, my nephew will give it to someone named Zhang Qian." My friend, he is tall and strong, as strong as an ox, and he can do some kung fu, and now he works as a postman in a posthouse. Think about it, he is responsible for delivering messages to officials, so he must be reliable."

Ping'er nodded and said, "Of course he's fine, I'm afraid he has an errand to do and won't do it."

"I said it wasn't a coincidence. It happened just in time. Two days ago, he drank too much and got into a fight with another postman in the posthouse. It happened that the person who was beaten by him was a distant cousin of the posthouse chief. He stopped working for half a year, and now he is at home with nothing to do, sitting and eating. You said he has such a good job, shouldn’t he?” Lin Zhixiao smiled triumphantly, patted his chest and assured Ping’er: “I’ll take care of this, and I’ll take care of it for you. He will guarantee that he will deliver the letter to Young Master Lin himself!"

Hearing this, Ping'er felt safe, and gave the things to Lin Zhixiao's family with peace of mind.

When Daiyu, Baochai, Baoyu and others went to Li Wan's room, they saw Jia Lanshou serving medicinal soup in front of Li Wan's bed.Seeing them coming, Jia Lan immediately got up and called "Second Uncle Bao, Aunt Lin, Aunt Xue..." and so on.

Baoyu took Jialan's hand and asked him, "Is your mother feeling better? Let's come and see him. Our ancestors loved her too, and brought a lot of warming and tonic herbs."

Jia Lan thanked them one by one, and led Baoyu, Daiyu and others to see Li Wan.Li Wan hurriedly asked Suyue, the servant girl, to help her up, and Baochai hurriedly said "I'll come" to Suyue, and told Suyue to step aside, and she helped Li Wan up herself.

Li Wan was a little moved, a little embarrassed, took Baochai's hand and said affectionately: "You are a guest, so why bother you, I'm sick, and if I get sick, I don't feel at ease." "

Baochai took the medicine bowl from Jia Lan and handed it to Li Wan herself, waiting for Li Wan to drink the medicine.He laughed and said: "My sister-in-law is an outsider, I am strong, so I am not afraid of this. Besides, I am not like Sister Lin, who takes medicine every day and gets tired of seeing the smell of medicine. Occasionally when I am sick, I have a taste of the medicine. The bitter taste is also good."

When Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Bah, bah, whoever curses himself to take medicine, Amitabha, just now, what sister Bao said was unintentional, please forgive me."

Everyone present was amused by Baoyu's foolish behavior, but Li Wan cast his eyes on Daiyu, remembering Baochai's words just now, and hurriedly said to Daiyu: "Yes, I forgot about you. You are weak in the first place. I will give you the sickness, and the sickness will be made worse, but I have committed a serious crime, and it is difficult for me to explain it in front of my wife and ancestors. You listen to your sister-in-law and go back quickly, I will take care of you."

Baochai nodded in agreement and followed suit.This made Baoyu nervous, and walked up to Daiyu, urging her to go back in a low voice.

Daiyu really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, just now she was asked to go with her, but now that she came, she said she was not in good health and drove her away.She really treats her like a ball, she can be kicked no matter what.Even if it's a football, there are times when you get angry if you kick it hard.

Since Baochai, Li Wan, and Baoyu drove her away, there was no reason for her not to leave. If she insisted on staying, there would be rumors in Minger's house that Miss Lin loved to play tricks.Daiyu naturally wanted to be grateful to Li Wan, and responded with a smile, saying that she would come to see her when Li Wan recovered from his illness.

Li Wan smiled and praised Daiyu: "You have a heart."

Daiyu made a gesture to leave, when she suddenly remembered something, turned her head to Tanchun and said, "The book you asked me to find was put in the bottom of the box. I just found it today. I forgot to bring it. I will send Zijuan to you later." .”

Tanchun was having a shortage of books, and when he heard that there were books to read, his eyes lit up, he took Daiyu's arm, and said with a smile, "Good sister, what can I trouble her for, I just follow you to get it."

Yingchun was very interested in reading Tanchun, and asked curiously, "What book?"

"Da Shigemitsu's "Book Raft"" Tanchun returned to her.

Xichun was pleasantly surprised: "Sister Lin has such a good book? I want to read it too." Yingchun also nodded and said, "She wants it too."Jia Lan knew that the book was good, so he wanted to join in the fun.

Daiyu laughed and said, "We came to see my sister-in-law. I left because I was afraid that my sister-in-law would be worried. You all went too. My sister-in-law will be sad, won't you?" Daiyu joked and looked at Li Wan mischievously.

Because Li Wan got to know Daiyu well, he knew that although she was weak in body, she had a really good temperament.You don't need to be careful with your tongue, just call Daiyu "bad-hearted".

"I've caught up with the needle nose, and I'm not bothering you about this? It's not a serious illness, and it will be cured in two days. There is no need to mobilize the teacher. If you have anything to do, just go to it yourself and leave me alone. Lan Son, you have gone, but you must obediently listen to your aunts and don't be naughty."

Sister Sanchun and Jia Lan responded with a smile.Baoyu also wanted to follow. He didn't like reading, but he was good at dancing and writing with his sisters. He also wanted to say goodbye to Li Wan, but Daiyu said first: "Then I will trouble Sister Bao and Second Brother Bao to spend more time with my sister-in-law." Alright, let's go and come."

Li Wan smiled and waved his hands, pretending to be impatient and said: "Go, go, don't bother me anymore, when I recover from illness, I will find your sisters." Then Daiyu said goodbye with Sanchun sisters and Jialan .

Baochai and Baoyu were forced to stay here, and they both felt a little unhappy.Baochai intended to say hello to Li Wan before leaving, but now that Daiyu made a fuss, it would be bad if she didn't stay for a while.Baochai looked at Baoyu, and suddenly felt that she was not bad, and Baoyu was still here to accompany her.

The two servant girls, Su Yue and Bi Yun, serve some tea, and Li Wan invites them to chat while eating.Li Wan is used to being a widow and has a weak temperament. Apart from paying his respects to his ancestors and wives every day, he rarely walks around with others.This disease is even worse. Apart from talking to Jia Lan and the two maids every day, there is no one to talk to.Talk too little, hold back for too long, and sometimes explode.Unfortunately, today was the day when Li Wan broke out.She chatted with Baochai and Baoyu until noon.Baochai thought it was over here, but Li Wan suddenly sent someone back to the old lady and asked her and Baoyu to accompany her for dinner in the room.The old lady Quan regarded the two children as filial, so she naturally agreed.

So Baochai and Baoyu listened to Li Wan chatting all afternoon, and when dinner came, Jia Lan came back excitedly, expressing surprise that Baochai and Baoyu were still there.Only then did Li Wan feel that she had kept these two children for too long.Only then did Baochai and Baoyu escape.

When they went out, they saw Xiren sending a little servant girl away.Baoyu asked her what was the matter, and Xiren smiled and said, "The old lady sent someone early to ask the second master where to eat. I haven't returned yet. Seeing that the second master, Miss Bao and grandma had a good chat, the little maid said that the meal should be served." Bring it here, let Er Ye and Miss Bao have dinner here."

When Baochai heard the words, she looked at Baoyu, clapped her hands and said regretfully, "What a coincidence, we are just going there."

Baoyu felt that the servant girl was arbitrarily asserting herself, which made him feel ashamed in front of Baochai.Displeased said: "Which bastard girl, make up your own mind. Sister Bao and I just said goodbye to my sister-in-law, and we are about to go there. Tell me what her name is, and I will go there and teach him."

Baoyu hasn't seen Daiyu all day, and his heart is agitated and his temper is getting bigger.Hearing Xiren tell her that the girl is called Silly Elder Sister, she pretends to argue, but Baochai stops her.

"She's there, so she can't escape. You go now, the old lady is probably having dinner, you disturb her old man's peace, be careful that your aunt will punish you!"

When Baoyu heard about Mrs. Wang, she stopped in fright, and said with a sigh of relief: "Forget it, I'll settle the score with her after we finish eating."

So the two of them went back to Li Wan's room and stayed with Li Wan for dinner before leaving.When the two of them arrived at the old lady's room, it was almost dark.

After dinner, after a long day of work and fatigue, the masters mostly take a nap and rest, and don't need too many people to serve them.There were three or two little maids messing about in the courtyard. When they saw Baoyu and Baochai coming, they knew that these two had always been good-natured and generous masters.

Baoyu glanced at a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. She looked upright, loved to laugh, and looked a little silly. This person was just a silly girl.Baoyu grabbed her and asked her, "Are you a silly sister?"

The silly sister was too frightened to say anything, and nodded in a daze.

Seeing that she was pretending to be stupid, Baoyu became even angrier, and asked her, "Why do you decide where to eat for Miss Bao and me?"

When the silly girl heard that Baoyu's tone was wrong, she felt that she had been wronged, and felt that Baoyu was not as gentle as other maids, so she cried aggrieved for a while.

The servant girls didn't know why, so they rushed over to persuade them.Baoyu would not listen, so Xiren begged Baochai, and Baochai persuaded him: "She is young, and there are always times when she is naughty, and she can get it with a few words, don't do it."

Baochai pulled Baoyu away from the hand of the silly sister, and the silly sister escaped from the shackles, rubbing her aching arm and crying immediately.He made a fuss about Baoyu wronging him.

"It was the old lady who ordered me to pass on the message. She was afraid that my frivolity would disturb the second master, Miss Bao, and grandma. She told me to just take a peek. If the masters are still chatting hotly, just take care of the meal." Pass it on."

"You really said that?" Baoyu didn't believe it, pointing at the tip of the silly sister's nose and said, "I'm afraid it's your own arrangement!"

"Injustice!" With two lines of tears streaming down her face, the silly sister searched for the people around her who could testify, and it happened that these people were not there at the time.At this moment, she saw Daiyu come out through the curtain, she threw herself in front of Daiyu aggrieved, knelt down and begged, "Miss Lin, please help me!"
