Daiyu's life

Chapter 35

When Wang Sifu led the Lin family's servants back and everyone started talking again, the three Daiyu siblings, even Haoxuan, who was the healthiest, looked thin, giving people a feeling of emaciation.

Daiyu heard people in Jia's mansion mention whether the three of them were sick and whether they had taken medicine, so she smiled and said, "Haoxuan and I are in good health, and we haven't taken medicine a few times since we were young. My father said it was because of my grandmother, but Haoyu had troubles for two years when he was a child, and he has gotten better in the past two years, and he doesn’t usually take any medicine, but he should pay more attention to his food, and he can’t eat many things.”

After hearing this, Mother Jia hugged Haoyu in her arms distressedly, and said, "Poor child." What, come and tell me what's missing." Daiyu responded with a smile.

Mrs. Wang looked at it and suddenly asked with a smile, "Old lady, do you see if the family's monthly money has been paid in advance this month? It will be Chinese New Year soon, so that these servants can also be lively."

After hearing this, Daiyu Haoxuan and Haoyu raised their heads and glanced at Mrs. Wang. Chen Siji frowned, seeing that Mother Jia didn't say anything else, but nodded in agreement.

Chen Siji waited for Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang to finish talking before getting up and saying, "Madam, I have two more things to tell you. Don't be angry."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Look at what you said, if there is anything you can't say, it's your own people who are angry or not."

Chen Siji smiled and said, "You also know Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin, who only had three sisters, Yu'er and brother, in middle age. Sending their sister and brother to Beijing this time can be said to have moved the back house here, just for Hao Yu There are three cooks in my house, and my lord agreed to let the Lin family take care of all expenses by themselves."

Mother Jia frowned displeasedly and said, "What is the uncle talking about, I can still raise my own granddaughter and grandson, so don't mention this again in the future."

Chen Siji smiled and said, "We all know that the old lady loves her granddaughter and grandson. Master Lin is a scholar, and his temper is very different from ours. If you don't want Master Lin to be afraid of embarrassment, you will be embarrassed to let Yu'er sister and brother Staying here for a long time, that old man Wang Sifu ran away because he was afraid that you would get angry and didn't explain clearly, so I'm the only one left here to explain to you, I hope you will forgive me."

Everyone in the room understood Chen Siji's implication. Mother Jia thought more, sighed and said, "That's all, I'll follow my uncle. It just so happens that there is a black hole between the yard and the outside The gate is convenient for you to come in and out." After hearing this, Haoyu got tired of Jiamu and said, "Grandmother, I don't have a cook who makes lion heads. It's delicious. I'll let him make it for you tomorrow."

After hearing this, everyone in the Jia family knew that not only the servants of the Lin family spent their own money, but also the girls and brothers of the Lin family ate and drank their own food. It's just Jia's place.

Daiyu laughed and said, "If you say it's for grandma, you can only give it to grandma. You are not allowed to steal it." Haoyu looked at Daiyu pitifully, but Daiyu ignored her. Haoyu turned his head and put his arms around Jiamu and said "Grandma, I don't eat too much, just two bites."

Mother Jia looked at Daiyu and Haoxuan and asked what was going on, and Haoxuan answered on his behalf, "Haoyu has a weak spleen and stomach, and he has just arrived in Beijing. Don't let him eat too greasy food. He is afraid that he will not be acclimatized. Let him eat for a few days first." the element."

Mother Jia touched Haoyu's back and said, "Good boy, be good, wait a few days for grandma to cook something for you." Haoyu agreed happily.As everyone was talking, they saw Wang Momo arrive with a gift for Jia Mu.

Daiyu went down and took it and handed it to Mother Jia, saying, "It's all a gift prepared by my father. I hope my grandmother will accept it with a smile."

Jia's mother saw that it was just a small box, so she didn't care, and said with a smile, "It's costing your father again."

Daiyu said with a smile, "It's too late to show filial piety to my grandmother. My father is too happy."

Mother Jia smiled indifferently, opened the box casually, and immediately filled the room with aloes, inside was a one-and-a-half-foot-high Avalokitesvara statue of Avalokitesvara wood. Watching Avalokitesvara go up, it added a kind of compassion to Avalokitesvara. Agarwood wood is rare, and it is even rarer to have such thick agarwood wood. Guanyin was very surprised.

Taking advantage of everyone's stupefaction, Daiyu carefully observed the looks of everyone in the room. Mother Jia really liked it and couldn't help touching it. Mrs. Xing looked at it greedily, but Mrs. Wang didn't watch along with her. The beads in his hand turned a little faster, Li Wan didn't lift his head, it was completely irrelevant, Jia Lan sniffed curiously, but he didn't leave Li Wan's side even though he was so curious, Yingchun also had an attitude of being irrelevant, Tanchun's eyes flashed, he glanced at Mrs. Wang and lowered his head without saying anything, but Xichun smiled and said, "Old ancestor, this Guanyin is really rare."

Mother Jia smiled and asked, "Oh, it's hard for you to know this at such a young age." Xichun wrinkled her nose and said, "Our wife also had a dowry back then, which was half as small as this. The wet nurses said it was a thousand dollars. Please."

Mother Jia made Xichun laugh, and everyone chatted a little more, and Mrs. Xing took Daiyu and brother to Rongxi Hall to pay Jia Amnesty a visit.

Mrs. Xing did not live in the main courtyard of Rongxi Hall, but also lived in the east courtyard next to Rongxi Hall. When Daiyu and others arrived, Jia She was already waiting, because Jia She did not go in with Chen Siji. , but went to sit in the small courtyard next to it.

Daiyu led the two younger brothers to greet Jia She, and Jia She's face was a bit emptied by wine, and he showed a kind expression and said, "It looks better than at the beginning of the year." Madam Xing Then he said, "This kid looks different every day. It seems that I haven't seen him for a year, but he's not a little taller."

A few people chatted and laughed, and Daiyu asked someone to bring up the gifts for Mrs. Jia Shexing. Jia She's is a landscape painting of the former dynasty, and Mrs. Xing's is a set of gold inlaid ruby ​​heads.Jia She squeezed his beard and smiled, Mrs. Xing was also very happy, Jia She often asked her to prepare a meeting gift for the Lin siblings, and this time she took some of it back.

The three sisters and brothers of Daiyu did not open it for the meeting ceremony. Haoxuan took a box and handed it to Jia She said, "Uncle, brother Lian specially asked us to bring it back. He said it was not good for us. Put the things in the house together." Said and handed it to Jia She, Daiyu also handed one to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing thought it was for Mrs. Wang, but she didn't expect it to be her own, so she was even happier.

After Jia Amnesty opened it and saw the Nine-color Fan, he could not leave his eyes. He wiped his hands with the handkerchief, took it out after appreciating it carefully, and said, "Okay, this is a masterpiece." Mrs. Xing has a box prepared by Wang Xifeng Unprocessed gemstones of various colors are as big as quail eggs, and the colors are bright and translucent.

Haoxuan said, "Mr. Chen said that she has seen such a good ancient fan in the palace." Jia She told Haoxuan Haoyu about antiques with this ancient fan, and Daiyu and Mrs. Xing talked about some precious stones. What kind of jewelry successfully avoided the unfamiliar situation of you asking and answering, and the relationship between the two parties was immediately drawn closer.

Mrs. Xing ruthlessly kept Daiyu's siblings to eat, and Daiyu said, "Aunt gave me the meal, so I shouldn't have resigned, but I just went to visit my second uncle and aunt. In a few days, Daiyu will come to disturb my aunt."

Only then did Mrs. Xing agree with a smile, and she personally sent Daiyu and others out from the east corridor at the back, revealing that behind Sister Feng's yard is the East Courtyard where Mrs. Jia Zhengwang lives now, and she was the one who led the way for Daiyu and her brother. The mother-in-law explained to Daiyu who lived there as she walked. Next to Sister Feng's courtyard, there was a courtyard in the east separated by three buildings.

In the future, it will be the East Courtyard. The East Courtyard is no smaller than the entire Rongxi Hall, and it is also very magnificent. Even though both sides of the East Courtyard slipped into the guest rooms, the outside is often chaotic.

Mrs. Wang lives in the main room of the East Courtyard. To the east is the residence of Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan and Aunt Zhou. To the west is Jia Zheng’s inner study. When Daiyu and others crowded into the main room, Mrs. Wang was already waiting on the kang. up.

Mrs. Wang looked at the three of Daiyu and her brother with a smile and said, "Come and sit down." Seeing that Daiyu and her brother sat down, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Your second uncle has something to do in the yamen, see you when you come back."

Looking at Mrs. Wang's kind face, Daiyu felt her stomach ached. The Chinese New Year was coming soon. What could Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry, do to do anything? Sister and brother Yu said that the topic had been circling around Chen Siji, and before Mrs. Wang could bring the topic to Yuan Chun, Daiyu hurriedly took out the gift she had prepared and said, "Daddy prepared it when I came. Don't be disgusted."

Mrs. Wang accepted it with a smile, and also took out the meeting gift for Daiyu's sister and brother. Haoxuan Haoyu is the four treasures of the study, and Daiyu's is two rulers and two pairs of gold and silver trees. Daiyu deeply feels that she has lost a lot of money. up.

He also heard Mrs. Wang say, "Take it and play." Daiyu responded with a smile.After such an interruption, the time is almost over. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang didn't grab Chen Siji and said, but turned her head to look at Daiyu and said, "The sisters and sisters at home are all good, you usually study and play together. It's all good, but I have an evil son named Baoyu, who is the devil in the family. He talks sweetly around his sisters and sisters all day long. Fortunately, if you deal with him that day, you might go crazy and cause a lot of troubles, but today he went to pray and is not at home, when we see you in the future, just ignore him."

Without Daiyu's words, Chen Siji changed from the state of cherishing words with Mrs. Wang just now, and took over the words, "Uncle and Madam are too worried. The sisters in this family are all sisters. It's okay for your son to laugh and make trouble. Yu My son is a cousin, and both of them are over seven years old, how can we fight together, it's just a meeting and a salute."

Just now in Jiamu's room, Chen Siji had already made Mrs. Wang displeased, so he revealed the Lin family's plan in front of everyone. Otherwise, according to Lin Ruhai's intention, he was telling Jiamu behind his back. It’s good to act tacitly. Let Mrs. Wang say a monthly payment, and say it in advance, and give Mrs. Wang a shame. Just now, Chen Siji was indifferent to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang still wanted to get more from Chen Siji. Ask about Yuanchun, after listening to Chen Siji's words, he didn't fight back. He just had a haha ​​and passed away. After listening to Jia Mu's dinner, Mrs. Wang got up and took Daiyu and her three brothers. passed.
