Yinxiang sent Daiyu to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and went back alone.

Daiyu went into the mansion, and when she passed Sister Feng's room, she saw Sister Feng and Jia Lian talking inside.

When Sister Feng saw her, she hurried up and took Daiyu's hand, and said to Jia Lian with a smile, "This is the first time I've seen Sister Lin when she comes back from Yangzhou. Come in and sit down." Daiyu was thinking He went back to the room, but now that Sister Feng was so enthusiastic, it seemed not good to refuse, so he went into the room with Sister Feng.

Jia Lian said with a smile, "We only came back at noon yesterday. It just so happened that you went out again. Of course we didn't see you."

Sister Feng took Daiyu into the room, and Daiyu sat down with a smile.Sister Feng smiled and said: "The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is really a good place. Sister Lin looks even more watery when she comes back this time!"

Jia Lian nodded with a smile, and Sister Feng asked about Daiyu's father's health, etc., and Daiyu answered them one by one.

Just as she was talking, Sister Feng asked Jia Lian as if thinking of something: "Yes, I suddenly remembered now, what did the master tell you just now?"

Jia Lian laughed and said, "What else can I do, but it's just a matter of visiting relatives."

Sister Feng hurriedly asked, "Is it all right to visit your relatives?"

Jia Lian said with a smile, "although it's not very accurate, it's good enough." Sister Feng said with a smile, "but today's grace! I've never listened to books and operas, which was never the case in ancient times."

When Daiyu heard this, she understood that it was because Yuan Chun was made a noble concubine, and the Rongguo Mansion is currently busy with Yuan Chun's family visit.

Jia Lian paused, and said: "Nowadays, there is nothing like the word 'filial piety' that is considerate of the hearts of thousands of people. I think the nature of parents and children is the same, and there is no distinction between high and low. Today, the Holy Grace, because I saw the concubine in the palace, Concubines and talented people have been in the palace for many years, and they have left their parents. Is there any reason not to think about it? And the parents are at home, thinking about their daughters, and they can't see each other. On the sixth day, the family members of Zhunjiaofang will enter the palace to greet you. I would like to send a special message to all the noble relatives of Jiaofang. In addition to the favor of entering the palace on the [-]th, anyone who has a home in Chongyu other courtyard who can stay at the pass for defense may wish to invite the inner court Luanyu Entering his private house, the common people can share the joys of the family relationship with their own flesh and blood. This decree has been made, who would not appreciate it enthusiastically! Now Concubine Zhou's father has started work at home to build a family courtyard. And Wu The imperial concubine's father, Wu Tianyou's family, also went out of the city to look around. —— Isn't this a j□j point?"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Then this is certain. Yesterday I heard Rong'er say that the masters have agreed to measure from the east side, then from the garden in the East Mansion to the northwest. It is a total of three and a half miles. , we can build the provincial house. It has already been handed down to draw a design, and it will be available tomorrow.”

Daiyu saw that they were talking about the construction of the family-visiting villa, and she was in the way here, so she stood up and said goodbye to Sister Feng and Jia Lian: "My brother and sister-in-law have business to discuss, so I will go back."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's boring for my sister to listen to us talking about these things here. That's fine, but I'll forgive my brother for not sending us off."

Daiyu answered with a smile, then left Sister Feng's room and returned to her own room.

I heard that Jia Lian got up the next morning and saw Jia pardoning Jia Zheng, so he came to Ningguo Mansion, contracted the old steward's family members, etc., together with several family friends and relatives, inspected the places of the two mansions, painted and painted the palace of provincial relatives, and participated in the process. Ding.Since then, all kinds of craftsmen have completed their services, and gold, silver, copper and tin, as well as earth, wood, bricks and tiles, have been transported and sent without stopping.Shiling's craftsmen demolished the walls and pavilions of Huifang Garden in Ningfu and directly entered the East Courtyard of Rongfu.All the group houses in the east of Rongfu have been demolished.On that day, Ning Rong's second house, although there was an alley that was blocked, it was still private land, not an official road, so they could be contacted.Huifang Garden was originally drawn from the corner of the north wall, and it is no trouble to draw it again now.Although the mountains, trees and rocks are not enough, Jia She lives in the old garden of Rongfu, where bamboo trees, rocks, pavilions and railings can all be moved.Such two places are very convenient, and they can be combined into one place, saving a lot of financial resources, and roughly calculated, the additions are limited.Thanks to a Mr. Hu named Shan Ziye, he planned and built them one by one.

Jia Zheng was not used to common affairs at all, and only relied on the arrangements of Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Lai Da, Lai Sheng, Lin Zhixiao, Wu Xindeng, Zhan Guang, Cheng Rixing and others.Digging ponds on mountains, building towers and erecting pavilions, planting bamboo and flowers, one should point the scene, and there is a system of mountains and fields.In the next court's leisure time, it's just a matter of looking around and discussing with Jia Amnesty and others at the most important point.Jia Amnesty only lies at home, and there is something about mustard beans. Jia Zhen and others either go back to the Ming Dynasty by themselves, or write a brief section, or have something to say, so they call Jia Lian and Lai Da and others to take orders.Jia Rong made gold and silver vessels with a single tube.Jia Qiang got up and went to Gusu.Jia Zhenlai and others ordered people, opened books, supervised workers and so on.It can't be written in one stroke, but it's just noisy and lively.

From this day on, everyone in Rongning Second Mansion is busy every day, except of course Daiyu Baoyu and others.Since Baoyu was busy with family visits and villas every day, Baoyu didn't have time to take care of him, and didn't come to ask him about his books, so he felt very happy.Every day, if I go out with Qin Zhong, Liu Xianglian and others, or stay in the mansion with Baochai and Daiyu, or stay in my room and read a book once or twice, the days are very pleasant. .

Now that Daiyu has returned to Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai's illness has long since recovered, and things with Yinxiang have also settled down.So I feel relaxed throughout the day, thinking of the unfinished things before, I think of doing it.

This morning, Daiyu went to Baoyu's room to find Qingwen, planning to ask her for advice on acupuncture, but Baoyu was fully dressed and seemed ready to go out.

Daiyu sat down casually, looked at Baoyu's outfit, and said with a smile, "Where are you going, Brother Bao?"

Baoyu straightened the almost invisible creases on his clothes, and said with a smile, "I'm going to the Beijing Palace. Today there is a poetry meeting in the Beijing Palace. The prince invited me to go."

Daiyu nodded and smiled, "Since that's the case, go quickly. It's always bad to ask the prince to wait for you."

Baoyu smiled, "Okay, I'm leaving." Then he walked out the door.

Seeing that Baoyu was about to step out of the door, Daiyu couldn't help shouting, "Baoyu, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Baoyu stepped out with one foot, then took it back when he heard the words, and asked with a smile, "Sister, what do you want to say to me?"

Daiyu pondered how to say this, paused, and said, "Brother Bao, don't worry about what I'm saying now."

Seeing Daiyu's troubled face, Baoyu couldn't help feeling very curious. He walked back and sat in front of Daiyu, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, sister? We have grown up together since we were young. What else can my sister say?" Tell me. If my sister has something to say, just say it, and I will just listen. "

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I just saw that Brother Lian was busy with the construction of the relatives' villa recently, and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were busy with their work. If you really don't like studying to get fame , It’s also good to learn these things from Lian’s second brother.”

Baoyu is such a smart person, how can he not know Daiyu's intention?

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at Daiyu, and said earnestly, "I understand what my sister means, but to tell you the truth, although I don't like studying or getting fame, just like what Sister Bao said, people In this life, it is impossible to live only for myself. So now I don’t hate reading as much as before. After listening to Sister Bao’s words, I thought about it for a long time. What she said is very reasonable. I can’t just do it for myself, just like You told me before that my father was strict with me, and it was for my own good. Now that they are older, it is time for me to do something for them. "

Hearing this sentence, Daiyu was so surprised that she couldn't speak, my God, it's too scary, Baoyu would say such a thing?God, what happened these days when she wasn't here?Daiyu even couldn't wait to ask Baochai what she said to him, which had such a great influence on him.

"It's great that Brother Bao thinks this way. Brother Bao is right. Even if Brother Bao is not thinking about himself, he should think about it for Sister Bao." Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled softly as she said this.

Seeing that Daiyu spoke frankly, Baoyu thought she was always the most intelligent, so how could she not know her own affairs.Feeling a little embarrassed at the moment, he didn't say anything, just smiled at Daiyu, turned around and went out.

Qingwen came out from the inner room. Seeing Daiyu alone in the room, she said, "Baoyu is gone?"

Daiyu went up to hold her hand, pouted towards the door, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, I just left. Qingwen, these days when I'm back in Yangzhou, does Baoyu often stay with Sister Bao?"

Qingwen glanced at Daiyu with a smile, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "No, Xiren said a lot about Baoyu before, but have you seen that Baoyu has changed a little?"

When Daiyu heard this, she knew that Qingwen had heard what Baoyu had just said.

Qingwen continued: "Anyway, I don't understand anything, and I can't tell you any great truths, so I never persuade Baoyu. I only hear Xiren persuade him there. Baoyu just listens and then finishes. Looking at it now, if Baoyu can listen to it, it's you and Miss Xue."

Daiyu smiled, "It's none of my business, it's just the power of love."

Daiyu spoke in a low voice, Qingwen couldn't hear clearly, so she couldn't help asking what Daiyu said strangely.

Daiyu was secretly excited and smiled, "It's nothing, let's start now, you teach me."
