Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

"Sister Lin, do you really want to go home?"

In Li Wan's room again, Xiangyun, who was invited by Jia's mother, also heard that Daiyu's sister and brother had visited their home for the New Year this year.

Daiyu smiled and said, "I'll invite you to my house to play then."

She had never been to Lin's Mansion in the capital, and only heard about it from Chongyu, but no matter how she thought about it, she knew it was definitely not bad.Lin Mansion was also the residence of Hou Men.

Xichun looked at Daiyu expectantly.

In fact, since Daiyu came to Jia's house, she hasn't had much contact with Yingchun and Xichun.Daiyu is weak, and when she is not in her room, she mostly follows Jiamu.Yingchun and Xichun also have a lot of solitude in their temperament, they live close to each other, so they can sit together more often.But Daiyu stayed far away from them, and there was less special contact with each other, so the feelings were normal.

But Xichun could see clearly.Compared with Jia's and Ningrong's second mansions, which are more and more chaotic, Lin's family has some hope.

Xichun was originally a girl from the Ningguo Mansion, but because Mother Jia felt pity for her and was worried that she would live in a girl's house and live in Ningguo Mansion, and she didn't know how it would be polluted, so she wanted to live with her.

At the beginning, Xichun was very happy.After living in Rongguo Mansion for a longer time, Xichun gradually understood.Even though Rongguo Mansion is much better than Ningguo Mansion now, if you really want to talk about the future, you can't count on it.

Another reason why Xichun lives now, like Yingchun, doesn't want to be more directors, is exactly the same.Although she is young, she has a sense of depression without hope, which will always surface at some point.It's still faint, but it can't be erased.

Hearing that Daiyu can go home now and invite them to play at that time, what Xichun desires most is to stay with Lin's family for a while.

Xueyan is an active and young girl, so she doesn't have to worry about many things about taking care of Daiyu.So you can get more opportunities to play around.On Xichun's side, Xueyan often goes there.Xichun had heard from Xueyan how Daiyu used to live a simple but peaceful life in her own home.

Presumably the Lin Mansion in the capital, even if it is much bigger than Daiyu's former residence, the simplicity and tranquility will not change, right?

Daiyu felt something from the warm eyes that Xichun looked at her.She also has the heart to help these sisters, but now, she has never even visited her own home, and she can't make any promises, so she has to pretend not to understand.

Xiangyun obviously also yearns for Daiyu's house very much, wishing he could just stay in Jia's house until Daiyu comes home, so that he can go with Daiyu.

She is usually brought to Jia's house by Jia's mother, and she always lives with Daiyu, and she is very close to Daiyu, so she has much less worries than Xichun.

It's just that Xiangyun still has her uncle and aunt at home, and now that the New Year's Day is approaching, her uncle and aunt don't want her to stay with her relatives, so within two days, Uncle Xiangyun sent someone to take Xiangyun home .Xiangyun's wish to stay in Jia's house until Lin Ruhai comes is doomed to fail.

The 21th of the twelfth lunar month.

In the Rongguo Mansion, a guest who hadn't visited for a long time was welcomed.

It is said that he is a guest, and he is also related to the Rongguo Mansion.

This person is Lin Ruhai.

He arrived at Jia's house and first met Jia's mother.

Daiyu was by Jiamu's side. When she saw her father, she only called out and couldn't help crying.

Lin Ruhai looked at her with pity.He wanted to hold his daughter in his arms, comforted him, and saw that his daughter had grown up a bit, so he was a little apprehensive after all.

When he hesitated, Mother Jia had already embraced Daiyu first, and sighed: "You girl, after waiting so long, you can count on your father. Why are you crying again on such a happy event?"

Jia's mother ordered people to go home to learn, and let Chongyu and Baoyu go home first to meet Ruhai.

During the waiting period, she was not idle, and asked Lin Ruhai about many household chores, either explicitly or implicitly, and she also meant to ask Daiyu to live by her side in the future.

Lin Ruhai already knew from the letter sent by Chongyu what the chaos inside Jia's mansion was like, and also learned that Daiyu was not very happy living in Jia's house.

Therefore, even if Mother Jia secretly mentioned that Daiyu would lack the education of female elders after returning to the Lin family, he was afraid that there would be troubles in the future, but he just pretended that he didn't understand, and did not follow what Mother Jia wanted, and promised that Daiyu would be happy in the future. Then send Daiyu to Jia's house, or what.

Jia's mother was anxious, but Daiyu was by her side, these words should not be said too clearly in front of the young girl, she had to put the matter aside for now, and let Ruhai go to the front hall to talk with Jia She and Jia She Political meet.

Seeing this made Lin Ruhai even more disappointed.

Jia Shen's body has always been hollowed out by wine, lust and wealth, but now no matter how happy and smiling he is, he can't hide his dark eyelids and vain feet.As for Jia Zheng, he seemed to be doing well, but he missed the bottom line after all in his speech. He was not very talented, even his ability in governance was mediocre, and he was not very good at empty talk.

After talking like this for a while, Chongyu and Baoyu came in one after the other.

Chongyu was in front, and after greeting everyone one by one, he looked up at his father and blinked quietly.

Lin Ruhai understood, and nodded slightly calmly.

After Baoyu and Lin Ruhai had finished their ceremony, they just stood beside Jia Zheng and listened to their conversation.

Suddenly, Lin Ruhai suggested to see if the two children can benefit from homeschooling, which is to check the homework.

Naturally, Chongyu had no problem, and was only happy to see Baoyu turn pale when he was bullied.

Baoyu was really frightened and his legs trembled a little.At first he knew that Lin Ruhai was going to Beijing, and he only thought that Daiyu would go home at that time, but he never thought about anything else. Who would have thought that when he saw Lin Ruhai, he would have to experience what he feared the most?

But Jia Zheng is willing, but Baoyu is unwilling, and he can't refuse, so he can only bite the bullet.

And don't advance the affairs of the hall.

After Lin Ruhai and the two brothers-in-law went to the front hall to talk, Mother Jia also asked Daiyu to say goodbye to the sisters.

Daiyu walked around the other people's place, and after coming out of Xichun's room, she thought for a while and went to Lixiangyuan.

Aunt Xue was not in the house at this time, and Baochai was the only one Daiyu saw.

When she came in, Baochai was sitting at the table, and she didn't know what she was looking at, but the binding was different from the poems and books she used to read.

Daiyu then asked with a smile, "Sister Bao, what book are you reading quietly? You read it so engrossed?"

Baochai looked up, and when she saw her, she hurriedly made a mark on the spot she saw, got up and offered to sit down, and said: "It's not a book, the end of the year is getting closer, and there are many reports from various places, and you know Who is my brother, I have to help with some books when I am busy."

"So that's the case." Daiyu also understood, sat down, and said, "To tell you the truth, I came today to say goodbye to you."

Baochai blurted out: "Are you going home?"

Daiyu nodded and said with a smile, "No! I've been looking forward to these days, and now I'm looking forward to my father's arrival today. Strange to say, I'm going back to my own home, but I feel a little sad."

Baochai looked at her and saw that the circles of her eyes were still a little red from crying, and her sadness did not seem to be fake.

"This is really strange. Why do you feel sad when you go home?"

Baochai wanted to ask Daiyu again, but she couldn't bear Baoyu, but she was used to being cautious, and she was not very intimate with Daiyu, so she couldn't say anything about the relationship between men and women.

But Daiyu noticed that she seemed to have nothing to say, so she waited and waited, and when she didn't see any more, she sighed: "I've lived here all these days, and it's been more than a year now. It’s really hard to part with leaving.”

Baochai joked with a smile: "Since you are reluctant, why don't you stay here for a long time?"

She said so, but her heart was intertwined with reluctance and reluctance.

From a practical point of view, Baochai really hoped that Daiyu would leave Rongguo Mansion.As long as Daiyu is still alive, Baoyu's mind will always revolve around Daiyu for one more day.Even though it seems that Baoyu and Daiyu are not too close, everyone knows that in Baoyu's heart, Daiyu is different from others.

But Baochai could feel that deep down in her heart, she did not want to leave Daiyu.If Daiyu lives in Rongguo Mansion, she also borrows Lixiangyuan, and the sisters and sisters walk around, so we can have more contacts.If Daiyu goes home, she and Daiyu are just relatives, how can we see each other then?

Maybe like Xiangyun, the old lady has to send someone to pick her up, so that they can have a chance to meet each other, right?

How can I pick it up?How many days can I live here?

Daiyu sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to live for a long time."

The two faced each other with different thoughts.

Daiyu has heard many things from Chongyu on weekdays, and she can also infer that once her father arrives, she will never let herself stay in Jia's house for a long time.

She was thinking about the rumor of a golden and jade marriage that was vaguely passed on among the servants in the mansion, and thinking about the conversation between her father and Jia Mu today, thinking that it would not take long for Jia Mu to understand that her father did not want to let Baoyu have anything to do with her. At that time, I'm afraid that this golden and jade match will be fully established soon after there is one major obstacle missing.

The well-behaved elder sister Bao will become Bao's second sister-in-law at some point.

But how will Sister Bao live by then?

Daiyu knew that it was far from her turn to worry about these things, so she couldn't help but think about them.

She even thought that now Baochai is going to help the Xue family's affairs, and when Baochai gets married, who will take care of the Xue family's affairs?

Xue Pan?Or the daughter-in-law Xue Pan will marry in the future?

It was at this time that someone suddenly sent a message, saying that Miss Lin's things had been packed, and now the car sent by Lin's family was waiting outside, and they could leave only after saying goodbye to the old lady.

Baochai sent Daiyu out, all the way to Jiamu's room.

The two sisters walked slowly, but they had nothing to say, they just watched the remaining time together silently.

Finally arrived at Jiamu's place, where Ruhai and Chongyu were waiting.

Daiyu said goodbye to Jia Mu and wanted to resign.

Mother Jia ordered Zijuan to stay with Daiyu, and Daiyu didn't make much excuses, so she took Zijuan, Xueyan, Shuanglian, and the nurse Wang Momo.

The Lin residence has already made preparations to welcome the masters back home.

The car is already waiting outside the door.

The three members of Daiyu's family sat in one car, and another car carried luggage.

In the car, Chongyu laughed and said, "Brother Bao is in a terrible situation today."

Lin Ruhai tapped his head lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Isn't it because of you bastard?"

Chongyu didn't deny it either, rubbing the place where he was hit just now with one hand, and pulling Daiyu's sleeve with the other hand, saying: "My good sister, look, daddy just met me, and he's going to beat me up again. In the future, we have to do it again." My sister protects me."

Daiyu's sorrow of parting had faded a little after being teased by Chongyu like this.

She didn't comfort Chongyu either, she just leaned against Ruhai and said with a smile: "Daddy wants to beat you, so I don't care. You've been in the capital these days, but you're more lawless than in the past. You're out all day, and you don't know how busy you are." What."

Just going to school, definitely not so busy!

Daiyu firmly believed that Chongyu must have kept something from her.

Ruhai might know, but she alone doesn't know what his father and son are planning together.

This is also one of the sources of her loneliness.

So what if it's a close relative?They have something to do with them after all.

As I grow older, I feel a little helpless, but it is actually deepening day by day.I'm afraid it's not that I'm helpless, but that these things have existed for a long time, and it's only at a certain age that I realize it.

But living under the fence only deepened these thoughts.

Chongyu reminded her of many things explicitly or secretly, although she avoided some possibilities, but didn't it speed up her growth process?

Being sensitive by nature, she has a different understanding of many things than ordinary people.A very shallow reminder may also make her think very deeply.

"It seems that my sister is annoyed that I don't have much time to accompany you these days." Chongyu smiled, "When I get home, my sister will definitely know what I am busy with."

Seeing Chongyu's mysterious and mysterious appearance, Daiyu became curious, and she lost her uneasiness at the home she had never been to, and was left with anticipation for Linfu, the capital city she had never been to.
