Daiyu's life

Chapter 10

When Daiyu came in the evening, she couldn't help being curious, and asked Jia Min, "Mother, how did Sister Feng send these things here again?" I didn't expect to get the answer, but Jia Min didn't know why. Without hesitation, she said, "My silly girl, you don't think that mother will bring your cousin and sister-in-law with you for a few months, right?"

Daiyu blushed fiercely. She really thought so. In her heart, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng should have been in Beijing all the time. She just thought about what kind of people these two were, and didn't think about what they would do at all. .

Jia Min said with a smile, "Your father is walking outside with a chain these days, and seeing that the chain can be lifted up, he is also very clever. Even if there are some faults of noble children, it is not a big deal when you look closely. An Huai Zhizhou will take office this year, and your cousin has the official position of a fifth-rank co-prefect, and the activities just allow your cousin to fill this vacancy."

Daiyu frowned, and said, "Then those things are thanks to my cousin and sister Feng."

Jia Min was very helpless for her daughter's lack of understanding, and said, "My son, where is your dexterity as a housekeeper? Even if your father helps you find this real need, our family will still accept a gift heavier than this." Let’s start with, among other things, those people your father usually knows with chains, if you make good friends, it will be a good relationship, even your sister Feng’s father can’t teach his son-in-law like this.”

Daiyu despised her own brains, and hurriedly said to Jia Min, "Mother, isn't my daughter still young, you just need to teach her more."

Jia Min nodded Daiyu's little head, and said, "Thanks for what you said, let's not talk about it far away, just say that the eldest girl from the prefect's family in Yangzhou is only one year older. Mrs. Liu has gone this year. I heard that the Liu family Now Miss Liu is the head of the inner courtyard, and this Double Ninth New Year ceremony is absolutely correct."

Daiyu acted coquettishly against Jia Min and said, "Isn't that still a year older than my daughter, next year my daughter will definitely do better than her." She was already complaining in her heart, "That tm is all perverted, okay? At the age of 40, you can help your father with housekeeping, take care of your younger brother, and take care of housework outside. In modern times, a six-year-old kid can’t take care of himself, okay? She came from the [-]s, so she’s just a child It’s good that such fierce people can be born in the age of twins.”

Daiyu's acting like a baby had an effect. Jia Min hugged Daiyu and looked at the account books. Daiyu was a little worried when she thought of Wang Xifeng's great achievements in the Red Mansion, and said to Jia Min, "I think my mother usually does it when she is in contact with those officials and wives. It's prudent, Sister Feng can do it alone with such a flamboyant person, and there is a second cousin, mother said that the second cousin has always followed the second aunt to handle the housework, so it can be done directly as a Zhizhou."

Jia Min said indifferently, "Your father specially selected a steady and down-to-earth master, and now he has written to invite him, and he will probably respond. Besides, it will be seven or eight months before your second cousin takes office. After studying with your father for so long, and with Mr. Liu being such a good teacher, if Lian'er can't do a good job, just wipe his neck. It's not shameful enough. As for Feng girl, she has said everything she should say about being a mother. What my mother should teach after so many years of exploration, my mother will definitely be able to teach her, and what her mother taught her when she was in her natal family, if she is here, it will be easy, just go back to Beijing to serve your parents-in-law."

Daiyu turned around and stopped talking, then looked at the account book, she deeply mourned for her IQ, and relied on her old accountant in her previous life to find balance.

Daiyu waited for a while and Lin Ruhai didn't come back, so she went back to Yuexin Pavilion. When she arrived at Nuan Pavilion, she found that Brother Quan hadn't rested yet, so she frowned. Seeing this, Nanny Zhang quickly came over and explained, "Brother Quan I was very curious when I saw the historical records that the girl brought over, but I couldn’t understand them, so I kept making noises and refused to sleep.”

Daiyu raised her forehead, the two younger ones are really smart, but they are also three-year-old and four-year-old little ones, and they can recite things by heart, which is about the same progress as Daiyu. The problem is that they can't understand. They memorized the Analects of Confucius and the Book of Poems, so they could be easily understood even if they were memorized. How did this kid get on the same page as Shi Ji?

Brother Quan was holding Shi Ji and pouting somewhere, trying to get angry, Daiyu felt a headache, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, Brother Liu woke up and said, "Brother, go to sleep." Brother Quan looked at his younger brother The skinny little face compromised, Daiyu watched the two little ones fall asleep before going back, and decided to throw the poor child to her father tomorrow, brother Quan is not in good health like brother Liu, he can stay Now, Daiyu is also busy, and being locked up in Yuexin Pavilion every day is exhausting.

In winter, most families have maids to follow the rules of the profession, and Daiyu’s small bed is big enough, so the maids will not suffer from that crime, they all sleep on the bed with Daiyu, Xuejuan gave Daiyu tucked the corner of the quilt and said, "Ever since Brother Quan heard that he robbed Brother Liu of his nourishment and caused Brother Liu to be in poor health, I actually remember it to this day."

This started when the two youngest were two years old. Brother Liu was always sick from birth, and he almost couldn't survive when he was two years old. During that time, most of the family members took care of Brother Liu. Daiyu He even moved to Liu Ge'er's place and guarded Liu Ge'er every day. Everyone inevitably neglected Quan Ge'er. An aunt surnamed Chi in the backyard bought a little girl and asked her to accidentally tell Quan Ge'er. He said that it was because he stayed with his elder brother that he was weak, and now he is almost dead.

Brother Quan didn't know much about it, but he thought he was the one who caused Brother Liu to be like this, and within a few days he also fell ill, which made things worse for the family. Fortunately, Daiyu saw that Brother Quan was looking at Brother Liu with wrong eyes, After asking, the family members enlightened and Brother Liu survived, and Brother Quan got better, but there were also sequelae. Brother Quan especially let Brother Liu, and Brother Liu listened to what Brother Liu said. Well, Brother Quan has to keep half of the pastries for Brother Liu.

Daiyu now thinks of this and hates her toothache, and said in a low voice, "Now I am busy with my mother in the main courtyard, not to mention my father's. Although there are nurses and maids at my younger brother's place, it is inevitable that they will get along with each other for a long time. If there is a dispute, you carefully watch who is patronizing and pinching the sharp point to get stronger, regardless of the master."

Xuejuan said in a low voice, "I usually see that everything is fine. Mammy Zhang and Mammy Li are all good at what they do, and the girls don't dare to turn the world upside down."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "I'm just afraid that they will catch the girls and manipulate my brother at will."

After hearing this, Xue Juan said, "That's right, it's like how Aunt Chi usually looks like an honest person, not as picky as Aunt Ma."

In the past few years since Daiyu arrived in ancient times, among other things, she has a feeling for "a dog that bites people will not bark." She became more and more concerned about her words and deeds. This is an era when a word can kill people, so Daiyu has to be careful.

In Daiyu's previous life, although her family's conditions were not very good, it was still enough to eat and use every year. After graduating from university, she died of illness before entering the society to be dyed by a big dyeing vat. It's good, that is, this year Jia Min started to train Daiyu to know more, so many obvious clues were ignored by Daiyu, and Daiyu regretted it for a long time.

Daiyu is still very curious about Governor He's family. Lin Ruhai's Yanyan Yushi is from the second rank, and this Governor He is also from the second rank. You have a lot of power. You must know that Jia Min started to prepare Daiyu's going out supplies in the second year of junior high school. She was dressed in a pink feather satin jacket, matched with a floral crepe skirt, a small fragrant fox fur cape, and a little phoenix inlaid with red gold and sapphires. Hairpins, a few small hairpins to fix the hair, together with Lin Ruhai carving top-quality black jade jade locks for Daiyu, neither enhance the master's limelight, nor make people look down upon.

Mrs. He is older than Jia Min, and now she is a little fat, but she looks very amiable. Mrs. He personally pulled Daiyu and said to Jia Min, "I said why did you hide Miss Lin at home and not let her come out? It turns out that he is such a fairy-like person, if I hide him, I won’t let him out.”

Jia Min smiled and said, "If you say that, I won't obey. If I hide her and don't let her come out, you just cover her and don't let her see."

Mrs. He smiled and said, "Well, well, I can't say enough about your mouth." Turning her head, she said, "A lot of girls have come here today, and they are all playing in the back. Someone will take you there in a while, no Let you learn from your mother, who doesn't let people know."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Okay." Jia Min and Mrs. He led Daiyu to walk around among the wives. After receiving some gifts, Daiyu went to Miss He in the backyard, touching her as she walked. Looking at the bracelet in her hand, Daiyu understood why Jia Min wore so many jewelry.

Miss He was already waiting for Daiyu when she arrived at the door. Miss He was a few years older than Daiyu. She was wearing a colorful red foreign satin jacket with engraved silk, and a crane cloak with lotus and green bucket patterns on top of brocade and foreign thread. People are very charming.

Seeing Daiyu coming, Ms. He quickly stepped forward and looked it over carefully, and said, "This is the sister of the Lin family. I am older than you. I don't mind calling me Sister Yan."

Daiyu smiled and said, "My sister doesn't mind calling me Daiyu." Miss He Yanhe felt that Daiyu was very close to her, and He Yan didn't have any good girlfriends in the first year of the He family. If they get along well, they will be more enthusiastic towards Daiyu, and they will be fine when they arrive at the main hall.

As soon as Daiyu entered, she heard a little girl say with a smile, "Sister He met her new sister and forgot us old people. Let me see which family's sister she is."

He Yan dutifully introduced to everyone, "This is Miss Lin from the family of Master Xunyan Censor Lin." He also introduced everyone to Daiyu one by one. The one who spoke just now was the one with the highest status besides He Yan and Daiyu Her father is Master Lu, the third-rank inspector.

They are all little girls who are about the same age and get to know each other after a while.
