'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Ling, Gu Yitai, and Gu Lian really came back. It was still dark, and the masters were not up yet. The three of them didn't intend to disturb any of them, so they stayed in the front yard to change their clothes and freshen up. Just send the maids back to their rooms to marry clothes.

After the old man Gu Yitai and Gu Lian took a hot bath, they went to Gu Ling's room to look for him, but they saw the maids scooping up the still warm hot water, but Gu Ling himself was nowhere to be seen.The old man was about to go where Gu Ling should go, when he saw him enter the door with a clever little maid, who was holding a big bowl of hot chicken soup, which was full of aroma.

Gu Yitai and Gu Lian looked at each other, both smiled and said they were hungry.

While Songzhu was serving the chicken soup, Ling ordered the little maids to serve up the rice porridge and refreshing side dishes that had been prepared earlier.After the three masters drank the chicken soup to warm their stomachs, they sat around the table and began to eat happily.

After the meal, the old man washed his hands and praised the chicken soup as delicious.

Gu Lian also nodded, and praised: "The ginseng is old ginseng, and the chicken is tender chicken. It must be boiled slowly over a low fire to melt the meat and bones of the black-bone chicken. The soup can't be boiled in one night." It came out. It can be seen that my good daughter-in-law was prepared early, Gu Ling, tell me, how does she know that we will come back at this time?"

Gu Ling smiled slightly, but said nothing, obviously he didn't want to explain what he knew to his father.

Gu Lian was very satisfied with his son's reaction. If it was in the past, this kid probably wouldn't even be able to smile, like a cold ice cube.Gu Lian sighed in his heart: Fortunately, he married a good daughter-in-law, the big house is much more lively than usual, so he should be content.

The old man didn't agree with Gu Lian's idea, the old men didn't go home on time when they had something to do.The granddaughter-in-law was able to prepare it early, so she must have ordered the cook to prepare it early in the morning.From Gu Yitai's point of view, no matter when they come back, the chicken soup can still be drunk in their mouths. If the pot is stewed and the person does not come back, there must be another pot to continue to stew.He didn't know that he forgot to consider the tacit understanding between Daiyu and Gu Ling, but Gu Ling never saw Daiyu for a whole day when he was not on a long-distance business trip.

Gu Lian couldn't finish it, and praised the old man: "Thanks to him for persuading us to come back, although eating in the palace is good, but for some reason, we can't swallow it."

"Oil." Gu Ling interjected.

Gu Yitai and Gu Lian glanced at each other, laughing. It was indeed as Gu Ling said, most of the palace dishes were pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck and fish, so naturally they couldn't eat the greasy meat on the table in the morning.Besides, the imperial chef made pasta according to the emperor's preferences, and most of the dishes prepared for them were made with lard as an auxiliary material to make fire, shortbread and crispy dumplings...

At dawn, Daiyu got up and put one hand on the cotton pillow beside her.She hurriedly called Zijuan to ask if Gu Ling was back.

Zijuan smiled: "Young lady is a good fortune teller. Uncle came back with the old man and the old man before dawn. The old man came back and stayed for a cup of tea before leaving. The servant wants to call you, and the old man forbids it."

Daiyu nodded, got up and asked Zijuan to tidy up the bed, and asked her to change Gu Ling's pillow into a clean one by the way.

Zijuan was wondering, the uncle didn't sleep here last night, why change the pillow?She put one hand in her hand and felt the moisture on the pillow surface.Zijuan immediately understood that it must be the uncle who came to see the master with wet hair after taking a bath in the front yard.

Zijuan used to be used to the misconduct of Jia's men in Jia's house before, and vowed never to marry. Men are nothing good in her eyes.But since she followed Daiyu and married into Gu's mansion with Daiyu, seeing the men in Gu's family living a decent life, her views on men gradually changed in her heart.

It turns out that there are really good men in the world.Zijuan was most fortunate that her master, Daiyu, had just met one.If the master has a good home, she has a good home for her.

Daiyu saw Zicuckoo was packing the pillow with a slight smile on her lips.Laughing at her, she said, "Good sister, you are not young anymore, do you have any ideas?"

Unexpectedly, when Zijuan heard this, her face immediately became serious, and she knelt down on the ground to kowtow to Daiyu with a plop. "A lesson from heaven and earth, this servant is absolutely single-minded towards grandma, apart from grandma, this servant can't hold another person in his heart."

"You misunderstood, get up quickly." Daiyu took Zijuan's hand and sat down on the side of the bed, and discussed with her: "Of course I don't want to part with you, but since ancient times it has been said that men should be married when they are older, and women should be married when they are older. I have delayed your life for your own selfish desires, so I want to ask what you mean. Even if you have someone in the future, you can still visit me often, our relationship will never be broken."

"Grandma, I've given up on men a long time ago. It's a good fortune for me to be with you all my life. If you don't want me, I'll shave my head and go to the nunnery to become a nun!" Zijuan swore a poisonous oath, Daiyu stopped him.

"Okay, my fault. I just wanted to ask you what you mean. Look at you, do you dare to talk to me in the future?" Daiyu wiped Zijuan's tears with a handkerchief, and persuaded her gently. After a while, Zicuckoo was laughed at.

At this time, a little servant girl came to report that Yingchun was passing by here, and asked Daiyu if it was convenient for her to see her.

Daiyu hurriedly ordered someone to invite Yingchun in. She hadn't seen her for a while, but today she saw that Yingchun was much fatter than before. When she was walking, the two women on the left and right supported her carefully, and her belly was slightly shy.When Daiyu saw Yingchun's posture, she guessed seven or eight points in her heart.When she opened her mouth and asked, Yingchun was indeed pregnant.

"This is a happy event. I'm going to be an aunt." Daiyu smiled and held Yingchun's hand, and asked her how many months she was pregnant, how the imperial doctor's pulse was, and so on.

Yingchun answered one by one, with a happy smile on her face.

Daiyu originally wanted to ask how her life was when she married into Qi's family, but it can be seen that she is doing well without asking about her current appearance.

Instead, Yingchun laughed at herself and talked about it: "He looks ugly and fierce. He scared me on the wedding day. I thought my life would be over. After getting along for a few days, I gradually felt that he was nice and would love me. Although it is very dull, every time I go out and come back, I will bring me some fun things to coax me, and I am content with such days."

"That's good, I'm really happy for you." Daiyu put her hands on Yingchun's slightly swollen belly, and said with a smile: "How happy you are, you didn't tell me, if you don't come today, I don't know yet .”

"Let's not talk about you, they don't know either. I found out about it late, and at first I paid close attention to it for a few months, but I couldn't get pregnant. Later, when the monthly letter was delayed, I didn't care. I was pregnant. Because I thought it would be safe I'll tell everyone in a few days, and it's only until today, it's only three months old. My bulging stomach is definitely fat." Yingchun joked.

Daiyu laughed and scolded: "You have to take care of it, it's time to show your feelings, don't touch it, and don't touch anything that is taboo." After finishing speaking, Daiyu turned to Lianhuaer, the maid beside Yingchun. Be meticulous, and Lianhuaer hastened to respond.

"You two sisters-in-law get along well?" Daiyu was more worried that Qi Maochang's status as a bastard would make him lose power in the Qi family.

"They occasionally compete." Yingchun mentioned his sister-in-law's face moved slightly, and said with a smile: "It's generally not bad. Thanks to my sister who invited Uncle Lin over on the day of my wedding, my father-in-law pays more attention to my husband than before. He also strives , made a small contribution, and after my father-in-law walked around, he is now waiting for a vacancy in the Ministry of War."

Daiyu nodded: "That's good. When he is successful, life will be easier for both of you in the future. Don't worry about the affairs between the sisters-in-law. If you compete for a while, you will suffer later. You might as well let go of it." , Take care of your own little life, once the family is separated, you will have a solid foundation. Anyway, you have the biggest belly now, and if someone really wants to bully you, you just hold your stomach and scream, to see who dares to provoke you again. Now give them a nurturing After getting used to it, they won't rush to bully people too much in the future."

"Good idea! My sister, you are the smartest, you are really good for me." Yingchun thought of her natal family, but no one really cared about her life. When she went back, she just asked about her husband's situation, even if she vomited bitterness , they are just lamenting and pity once, no one cares what will happen to her life as a concubine.Thinking of this, Yingchun was even more grateful to Daiyu, with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry, you are really easy to bribe." Daiyu joked, and Yingchun was amused again.

"It's getting late, I should go back to my mother's house too. Good sister, I will come to see you some other day." Yingchun got up and said goodbye.

Daiyu sent her to the door with Yingchun, gave her a lot of materials to repair her body, gave her a few more instructions, and watched her go.

After Yingchun came out of Gu's mansion, the sedan chair went straight to Rong's mansion.When they arrived at the place, they were greeted by sisters-in-law Li Wan, Tanchun and Xichun, but Jiamu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others were not there.

"How about them?"

"Don't be surprised, there is a commotion in Baoyu's room. The old lady is over there with her wives, just sit and wait, thinking that she will return soon."

Yingchun was a little disappointed, how often did she go back to Ning, and this time Ning Ning was an opportunity she had so hard to get with her mother-in-law, but in the end she returned to her mother's house but was in such a situation.Baoyu and the others see each other every day and coax them every day. How short is it for a while?Yingchun even thought angrily in her heart: It seems that such a natal family does not exist, so I don't want it.

After waiting for a while, but no one came, Yingchun asked Li Wan, "Is Lian's second sister-in-law feeling better?"

Li Wan sighed: "It's not good yet, the bones of the body have been a little better in the past two days, but it's worse after being harassed by a few women, and I saw blood again, and now I'm still lying on the bed and can't get up."

"Sister Lin just gave me a lot of warming and tonic herbs that I can't use up. I will share some with my second sister-in-law, and I will take back less." Yingchun instructed Lianhua'er.

Li Wan was surprised: "Why, you went to see Miss Lin?"
