Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

After dinner, Lin Ruhai took the two children to the study.

He sorted out the books and introduced them to the two children by the way.Many of the books in his collection are orphans, and some contain annotations by deceased great Confucians.

It was noted that those books were in a separate box. Ru Hai was a little sad when he mentioned it, so he arranged all the books one by one. Then he said that the great Confucianism was his teacher, but unfortunately he was killed by a traitor, so these books were his teacher's. The relic fell into his hands.Over the years, he has carried it with him and read it from time to time, often gaining new insights.

Daiyu was young, and she felt that her father was in a bad mood with her exquisite thoughts, but Chongyu felt that there was something hidden about this matter, but Ruhai didn't say anything, so he was helpless.Being reborn as a child has many benefits, but the status of a child is sometimes a hindrance.There are many things that I would never say and listen to children.

Chongyu can only continue to be a child obediently, a good child who is motivated to learn.

Feeling tired, Lin Chongyu yawned unknowingly.

Lin Ruhai, who was putting a book on the bookshelf, turned her head and said with a smile, "It's just that I forgot about it for a while, and just talked about my books, forgetting that you two should rest earlier."

Lin Chongyu looked at most of the unopened bookcases, and at Daiyu with starry eyes, feeling that Lin Ruhai's books are so many and good, and at the same time secretly thinking that Daiyu should be able to sleep well tonight.

Before crossing over, I read The Red Chamber, and I often read that Daiyu couldn't sleep.Only after traveling did she realize that Daiyu had never slept well since she was a child.These days, the horses and horses are exhausted, so it is easy to fall asleep, and tonight I heard Ru Hai talking about so many books in the study, so I should be able to sleep well, right?

But Chongyu didn't know that Daiyu came back to the room and lay down not long after, she just closed her eyes in a daze for a while, rested like a dream but not a dream, and then woke up suddenly.

She opened her eyes, stared blankly at the curtain for a while by the moonlight, then picked up the pillow and sat leaning against it for a while, then lay down, and got up again... Repeatedly, even the caller outside the mansion yelled three times. Hearing everything, he gradually became drowsy again, and drifted off to sleep.

Lin Chongyu was full of thoughts about Lin Ruhai's books.

He now understands, so what if the modern printing technology is good?Some good things may not be passed on until then.And Lin Ruhai's collection of books is all treasures.Especially the annotations in the book made him even more crazy.

Last night, taking advantage of Lin Ruhai's inattention, he picked up two books and flipped through them casually, and almost didn't want to put them down.If it wasn't really inconvenient, and Lin Ruhai obviously knew every book well, he really wanted to secretly hide two books and take them back to his room to read.

He only thought that Lin Ruhai could take him for a swim in the study today, but in the end, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit, and some people came with official business. Ruhai was so busy during the day that he had no time to take care of him and Daiyu. , Even Jia Min was troubled by trivial matters, so he had no choice but to continue to stay in the room with Daiyu, playing with Jiulianhuan.

Chongyu wanted to wait for Lin Ruhai to be free, but he waited for more than a month, and it was not his father who waited for him to take him to the study, but introduced Yixibin to himself and Daiyu.

He has been a Jinshi and served as a magistrate, and he has a bit of literary talent. This person also has a surname of Jia Minghua, alias Shifei, and another name Yucun.

Chongyu and Daiyu yelled at Mr. together politely, but they were secretly thinking about Xiangling.It's not good to dress up as a child. It's not convenient to do many things.

Now he is also thinking about how to get his parents to send people to look for Xiangling, and he also thinks that the kidnapper may not stay in only one place, and he may not be easy to find, so he has to put it down for the time being and wait for the Xue family to appear in the future. Looking for an opportunity to get Xiangling from Xue Pan.

Daiyu and Chongyu follow Jia Yucun to attend classes every day. Daiyu's homework is naturally no matter how much, she is only asked to follow her, but Chongyu has a lot of homework.

Little did they know that it was precisely because of this that Daiyu was aroused to be competitive.

Although Chongyu is a man, there are distinctions between men and women, but since Chongyu was born, Daiyu has been with her younger brother day and night, and has a deep relationship.Daiyu was weak, but Chongyu was weaker than Daiyu when she was three years old, so Daiyu felt that she should take care of her younger brother as her older sister.

Later, Chongyu became stronger and stronger, but Daiyu took more and more medicines, and Daiyu became a little sad, but no one knew about it.Now that her younger brother had to learn so much about homework, she didn't want to just study casually.

In the past year, I don't know if Chongyu is getting older and has naturally become more intelligent or something. The two of them studied together, and Chongyu has gradually caught up with or even surpassed Daiyu's progress.Now, Chongyu still has to study diligently from a gentleman who is an excellent scholar?

Daiyu didn't say anything, but secretly fought with Chongyu.

She has had difficulty falling asleep since she was a child. She often falls asleep for a while and wakes up again in the middle of the night.In the past, she would just lie next to each other or lie down on the bed, with her eyes open, waiting for the dawn, but now Daiyu lit the lamp and read by the bed with a book in her hand. He didn't even know how to lie down, so he lay on the bed crookedly, and fell asleep unconsciously with a book in his hand.

But it was hard to follow the two little girls beside Daiyu, one named Xueyan and the other named Shuanglian. These two little girls were about the same age as Daiyu. Daiyu studied together.Daiyu woke up in the middle of the night and lit the lamp to read a book. It was difficult for the two little girls to be sleepy, but also thinking that the girl was in need, and wanted to wait for the girl until late at night. They stayed up for a night or two, and the circles of their eyes were red.

When Lin Ruhai and Jia Min heard about this, they both sighed.Jia Min ordered the two little girls to go to sleep at night, and sent more women to Daiyu's room, so that the more awake women could pay attention to Daiyu's needs at night.

These are things people can do well.

What worries Lin Ruhai and his wife the most is that Daiyu can't sleep at night.

In the past, when Daiyu woke up in the middle of the night, although there was no big movement, how could the lovely and eager two people fail to see whether Daiyu slept well that night or just fell asleep casually?

Everyone says that children are sleepy, but his family doesn't like to sleep.

It was only at this time that Chongyu realized that Daiyu's insomnia was so severe.After he crossed over, he was a child himself. He grew up and had to sleep, which was already a lot. Now it is even worse. He has to study with Jia Yucun and continue to practice the basics of boxing and feet. He is getting busy day by day. You can fall asleep with your eyes closed.

He looked at Daiyu's slender and graceful figure again, and felt a dull pain in his heart.Adults who do not sleep well will have low immunity and are prone to illness, let alone a child who is inherently deficient?

But no one can persuade Daiyu to sleep well at night.Insomnia is a disease, at most they can force Daiyu to be unable to read after waking up, how can they make Daiyu lie down and fall asleep?Even when Daiyu wakes up, it seems that she can still look tired, and there may be more time to really fall asleep.

Therefore, apart from continuing to invite famous doctors for Daiyu, hoping to cure Daiyu of her illness, the Lin family could only work hard on the incense in Daiyu's room, hoping to help Daiyu fall asleep with the soothing incense.After trying all kinds of methods, none of them worked, and everyone became more and more used to it.

It has been a year in a blink of an eye.

This day, Jia Min was going to take the Lin siblings to the nunnery to offer incense, but Daiyu felt a little unwell after getting up, so Jia Min decided to leave her siblings in the mansion.

The doctor has already come and prescribed a dose of medicine, and his servants have already ordered the medicine to be decocted. There are only two siblings left in the room.

Daiyu leaned against the pillow and looked at Chongyu who was beside the bed with worried eyes.

"I'm fine, but I coughed again."

She had a strange blush on her face as she spoke.

Lin Chongyu didn't speak, just stared at her for a while, then sighed: "Sister, how can you be so good at not caring about your body?"

Especially without sleep!

Chongyu hid the latter sentence in his heart.

Daiyu shot him a look, and only messed up his hair in annoyance.

Lin Chongyu let her do what she did, and only waited for her to start panting after making a fuss, and said, "Look, just like you are now..."

He couldn't go on.

Maybe modern medical methods can save Daiyu, maybe not.He has never studied medicine, but when he was studying in the Red Chamber, he saw some people study Daiyu's disease, and many people said that Daiyu's disease is modern and there is no way to cure it.Looking at it this way, any words to persuade Daiyu to take good care of her health seem to be false.

Especially the story of repaying the tears, the tears are all dead... Chongyu's heart was even more painful.

Daiyu pursed her lips and did not speak, but waved to him, motioning him to come closer, and slowly straightened his hair.

The room was silent for a while.

Daiyu remembered something, and said in a low voice: "Two days ago, I followed my mother to visit the magistrate's house, and it happened that there were other guests at the magistrate's house."

Chongyu was surprised.Jia Min was going to attend some gatherings of the women's relatives in the backyard, and most of them only brought Daiyu with him. First, he was always a man, and second, he really had a lot of homework.But Daiyu usually wouldn't tell him much about the women in the backyard.

Daiyu continued: "The guest is also a woman, but she looks really..." She frowned and thought for a while, "It's a bit vicious."

"Fierce?" Chongyu was even more puzzled.Will the prefect's wife associate with such a person?

"Yes. At that time, she glanced at me and then at Mother, as if she recognized something, and didn't say hello, so she told the magistrate's wife that she had something else to do, and left in a hurry."

Lin Ruhai can now be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person, especially in charge of the salt administration. I don't know how many people want to build a relationship with Lin Ruhai, but they have no connections.

Jia Min is Mrs. Lin Ruhai. She lives in the backyard. She usually attends gatherings of the women's family members, but she is also fawned upon by many people.Among the people who usually come and go, there are also some big salt merchants. The behavior of these salt merchants' wives is somewhat different from that of the wives and ladies of the rich and aristocratic families, and the flattery is more obvious.

Daiyu went to these homes with her mother, sometimes watching how these wives surrounded her mother, sometimes playing with the girls in their family, and feeling that the girls wanted to please her.She didn't think it was good to flatter and flatter for the sake of fame and fortune, and she didn't think that everyone in the world was such a flatterer, but the lady she saw at the magistrate's house was really too weird.

Chongyu also understood Daiyu's thoughts.

He was meditating, but he heard a commotion outside. After listening carefully, it turned out that Jia Min was assassinated on the way to incense, and now he is seriously injured.

As if struck by lightning, Chongyu suddenly remembered that it should be the day when Jia Min died of illness in the book.But Jia Min was in good health during this time, so he didn't think much about it. How could he be assassinated now? !

Daiyu obviously heard it too, and immediately got anxious and wanted to get up to see her mother.
