Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Guo Sixi lived in the room next to Daiyu, so he was very clear about the movements in Daiyu's room.

She held Daiyu's hand and sighed: "I just finished practicing and was about to take a rest. Who knows that there is still light in your room, so I came over to have a look. I heard Liutong say before that you are used to It’s because of insomnia at night, but it’s just like this all year round, so there’s a fear of yin and yang imbalance. If you’re strong, it’s not a serious problem. But your body is like this, how can you bear it?”

Daiyu couldn't help but sighed, and said helplessly: "Why don't I know? But lying on the bed with my eyes closed, I can't fall asleep, but the more I lie down, the more empty my heart becomes. If I insist on lying down, the more I can't sleep. I don't know what to think about, it's better to get up and sit and read a book for a while."

"You only know that you can't fall asleep and think wildly, but you also know that the most important thing is to take a nap?"

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Ziwu sleep?"

Literally, you can guess the meaning.

Guo Sixi nodded and said: "Generally speaking, it's a big nap at midnight, and a nap at noon. In any case, it's better to take some time to rest during these two hours."

Daiyu frowned lightly.

Taking a nap at noon, she might still be able to take a rest.Kezi?She could hardly sleep.

Guo Sixi said again: "I know what you want to say, just listen. This afternoon nap, a quarter of an hour's rest is almost enough. You don't have to sleep for a long time, but it's best to lie down and take a rest. If conditions are limited I can’t lie down, it’s okay to just sit and close your eyes for a while.”

Daiyu thought about it.Now it's no different than in Jia's mansion, it's not difficult for her to take this little time to rest every noon.

"As for the deep sleep at midnight, it is best to sleep for a whole hour. I think it will be difficult for you to do it, but there are also some breathing methods that can be taught to you. You just lie on the bed during this time and practice this. Breathing method, if you can fall asleep, go to sleep, if you really can't fall asleep, what's the problem if you get up again after midnight?"

Daiyu thought of Guo Sixi first before she said, uh, practice. She didn't know whether this breathing method was Guo Sixi's master's method of inner strength cultivation, so she didn't dare to agree immediately, she just asked: "Sister taught it to me privately, is it in compliance with the rules?" ?”

"What's the matter?" Guo Sixi knew that she had misunderstood, but he was very moved in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little bit for Daiyu. "This is just an ordinary breathing method for health preservation. It has a slight effect on strengthening the body, but it is not considered an inner strength method. There is no need to keep it secret. People in many villages near my master have learned it."

Daiyu was relieved, but she was afraid that the night would delay Guo Sixi's sleep.

Guo Sixi didn't mind, and knowing that Daiyu didn't want to sleep for a while, he simply started teaching Daiyu now.

This breathing method is not difficult, and Daiyu is smart, so after a while, she will master it.Guo Sixi persuaded Daiyu to lie down and rest again, and then whispered a few words of advice in Shuanglian's ear, and then went back to her room to rest.

Daiyu was lying on the bed, breathing deeply or shallowly according to the breathing method she had just learned, she didn't know when she fell asleep, she only knew that she woke up earlier than usual, but her spirit was better.

She has something else to attend to today.Two days ago, Chongyu had delivered to her the presents that she found for her sisters on her behalf. They turned out to be many stick-head puppets with extremely fine shapes. It is naturally not easy to manipulate the stick-head puppets delicately, but the daughter of the boudoir only wants one. Le, don't ask for a good performance, but it is not difficult.

Daiyu thought about only sending the puppets, if there is no supporting drama and some manipulation techniques, I am afraid it will not be very interesting to play, so she has to find some more things from Chongyu. Packed in exquisite boxes one by one, there is also a tag for which girl to give it to.

Daiyu ordered Xueyan to take the gift to Xiangyun, and went to Baolinghou's mansion with a few women, but went to Rongguo mansion by herself.

The servants in the Rongguo Mansion knew that Daiyu was coming, so they hurriedly went to report to the old lady, so when the girls and women saw Daiyu, although they had a lot to say, none of them dared to stop Daiyu from speaking first. After talking, he hugged Zhi Daiyu and went to Jiamu's room.

It has not been many days since Daiyu came home, and Jia Mu is already thinking about it very much.When I saw you today, I was busy hugging him into my arms, and hurriedly ordered someone to go to Ningfu to call Baoyu, saying that sister Lin had come, and then asked someone to invite the girls out.

Daiyu hurriedly asked Xueyan to take the wives to follow, and first gave the gifts to the sisters, and asked the sisters to collect them before coming.

Even so, because the girls were close, it didn't take much time, so they all came over.Xueyan didn't follow, but went to Lixiangyuan with only her things.

As for Baoyu, he went to Qin Keqing's place with Qin Zhong and Wang Xifeng this morning.Qin Keqing and Sister Feng were talking outside, while he and Qin Zhong were sitting and drinking tea in the small kang inside.Now hearing that Daiyu is back, Baoyu can't take care of Qin Zhong any more, and is going home.

As soon as he left, Wang Xifeng also stood up to say goodbye.

The two left one after the other, leaving Qin Zhong in a daze.

Qin Zhong has lived in Rongguo Mansion for a few days, and this year the pass is getting closer, but because he has Baoyu to play with him, he doesn't care much about going home.But seeing Baoyu leave so eagerly today, he felt lost in his heart, and he had no intention of following.

Qin Keqing sent Xifeng off for a while, but when she came back, she saw him standing stupidly in the room, so she wanted to persuade him to go home first.

Qin Zhong listened, thought about it, and agreed, but bothered Keqing to speak to Baoyu on his behalf.

Let's talk about Baoyu, who hurried into Jiamu's room, only called the old lady, and then just looked at Daiyu.

It's only been a few days since we separated, how has Daiyu changed much?In Baoyu's eyes, it is different.

"I just said that their brother and sister have a good relationship, old lady, don't you think this is it?" A burst of laughter came, and Wang Xifeng who came in later looked at Baoyu and then at Daiyu.

Mother Jia was really happy, and said with a smile, "You are the only monkey!"

When Baoyu was told by Wang Xifeng, she came back to her senses. Knowing that she had behaved a little wrongly just now, she just sat down on the other side of Jia Mu and laughed with her.

Wang Xifeng smiled again: "Sister Lin, when I came here just now, I heard that you came here, and you brought gifts for us all on purpose? It's really troublesome for you, but I don't know if there is anything for me?"

Daiyu then said to Jia Mu, "Listen, old lady, it's true that Sister Feng is the most calculating person, but I just saw it, and I'm going to ask for a gift."

Jiamu protects Daiyu, trying to annoy Xifeng.

Seeing this, Xifeng hurriedly said, "I didn't ask for it for myself, but for my sister. I have another gift for my sister."

Jia Mu nodded and said: "It should be like this. You sister-in-law, you can't be partial. Can the sisters also have a share?"

"Yes, yes, everyone has this big Chinese New Year!"

The Sanchun sisters all laughed.Tanchun teased Xifeng and said, "It's lucky that Sister Lin came today, otherwise we wouldn't know that Second Sister-in-law has prepared something for us."

Wang Xifeng scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Tanchun smiled and said, "Since you said I talk a lot, then I still have something to say! Did you see the person Sister Lin sent to deliver things to you?"

Baoyu had gradually returned to normal, and at this moment hurriedly replied: "Sister Feng and I came back from the Ning Mansion together, so naturally I didn't know that Sister Lin sent something to the room."

Everyone frolicked for a while before Wang Xifeng got serious and asked about Daiyu's daily life.

Now that Daiyu has returned home, Daiyu has to review and deal with many family affairs. Wang Xifeng is afraid that Daiyu is young and has not experienced much. She is worried that some servants in the Lin family will deceive Daiyu when she is young, and may enrich her own pockets. The second worry is that Daiyu lacks experience in family management, and the New Year's gifts are not handled well.

But hearing that Daiyu's response was very orderly, and knowing that the Lin family has previous rules and regulations for Daiyu to refer to, she was relieved.

From time to time, Jia's mother also said a few words and gave some pointers, even Xiang Xifeng benefited a lot from it.

The Sanchun sisters also learned how to manage the house on weekdays, but they only listened and had no chance to practice. Yingchun and Xichun didn't understand much, but they insisted on listening to memorize a little.As for Tanchun, he kept what he heard in his heart more and more, and only waited for the future to slowly figure it out.

Baoyu grew impatient listening to them talking about these things, and he was monkeying with Jiamu, so he asked everyone to continue playing together.

If Daiyu still lives in Rongguo Mansion, Jiamu will be mischievous by Baoyu.But now that Mother Jia thought that Daiyu was going home, she didn't know how many opportunities she would have to give Daiyu the family management experience she had accumulated in the past few decades, so why was she willing to waste time?If not, she would not let Xifeng and Daiyu talk about it now, but the grandparents and grandchildren would learn it slowly in private.

Baoyu had no choice but was reluctant to leave, so he could only continue to listen.

Suddenly there was a rumor from outside that Aunt Xue and Baochai had come over, Wang Xifeng raised her hand, slapped herself on the mouth, and said, "Look at me, I've been so busy these days, my sister is here now. Sitting at home, I actually only care about bothering my sister with these things, so don't take offense to my sister."

Daiyu knew in her heart that Wang Xifeng didn't want to talk about family affairs in front of Xue's mother and daughter.In terms of kinship, Baochai is closer than she and Wang Xifeng.Now Mother Jia didn't say anything, but Wang Xifeng shut up first, and she was a little puzzled.

It's just that Aunt Xue and Baochai both came in, and she couldn't get to the bottom of it, so she had to socialize again.

Daiyu came to Rongguo Mansion early today, and Mother Jia left her for lunch, and asked her to rest here for a while before going home later.

The sisters had eaten with them and had already dispersed.Aunt Xue also took Baochai back to Lixiangyuan.

Normally, Mother Jia should take a nap at this time, but today she wants Daiyu to accompany her.

The room was quiet, and the waiters were all outside.

The grandparents and grandchildren lay on the bed and didn't rest for long. Jia's mother had no intention of going back to sleep, and only chatted with Daiyu about her years of experience in housekeeping.

Daiyu took this opportunity to ask about Aunt Xue's family.

Before she went home, she had faintly heard the saying of "Golden and Jade Match" in the lower world, and she didn't know what happened now.

Jia Mu's face darkened a little, she put her arms around Daiyu and comforted her softly, "What's the matter of good fortune? There are many people who have gold or jade in this world, why do you bother with these things?"
