Daiyu's life

Chapter 39

****

Daiyu fanned Xichun fiercely as soon as she came in, and said with a smile, "there is iced milk smoothie over there, but I need to use some." Xichun shouted, "quickly serve me two bowls, and add some grapes to it."

Daiyu said, "It would be good to give you a bowl. I don't know who ate too much last time and went back to have a stomachache."

Xichun hummed and didn't say anything, but took it and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Daiyu saw that she had finished eating, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you go to school today?"

Xichun frowned and said, "Where did I get into trouble last night? Didn't Sister Lin hear about it?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Two days ago, my head was too big. I went out for a walk and came back and got heatstroke. Now I don't dare to go out. The old lady doesn't let me go and walk around. You don't know."

Xichun sighed and said, "That's right, Sister Lin is a strict housekeeper, and no one in the family is allowed to wander around. No wonder you don't know. Baoyu didn't go to school yesterday because she was too hot, so she took the girl next to her to make rouge together. The second master went to pay her respects. It just so happened I saw it, and I was very angry. Baoyu didn't get beaten. The old lady stopped him, saying that the weather was too hot, and she didn't want Baoyu to go to the school for fear of getting a fever. The second master still refused. , the old lady said that our sisters didn’t go to school because of the heat, not to mention that Baoyu ordered food outside, that’s all right, we don’t have to go to school from today until autumn.”

Daiyu really doesn't know what to say, this Jia Baoyu is eleven or ten years old. In ancient times, the age when a woman got married at fifteen or sixteen, and a man at seventeen or eighteen was not too young. Coax Jia Baoyu, a four or five-year-old doll, and get used to it.

Daiyu could only comfort her and said, "If you have anything you want to learn, just come to me. Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang are too familiar for you. If you still can't do it, you can ask Mr. An."

Xichun smiled and said, "Fortunately, Sister Lin is still here." Daiyu smiled and said, "I'm so nice, if you have nothing to do, just play around with me."

Daiyu took back the pen and paper, and Xichun rubbed the ink and asked, "Sister Lin, younger brothers Xuan and Yu have all gone to study at Mrs. Cai's house. Is Mr. An not going back home? I think the second master wants Mr. An to teach Baoyu .”

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Mr. An is thinking about participating in the next Spring Festival, so he stayed in the capital all the time. Teaching Baoyu will inevitably waste time. How did the second uncle remember to ask Mr. An to teach Baoyu?"

Xichun looked outside, Daiyu smiled and said, "Zijuan and Baishao went to do needlework. This is not the time for cleaning."

Xichun said, "The little girl eavesdropped. The second wife told the old lady and the second master that Mr. An was holding the money for nothing, and he didn't need to teach the students. He said that sister Lin was too kind, and said that it would be better to let Mr. An idle." Let him teach Baoyu."

Now Daiyu doesn't feel strange about what kind of kind person Mrs. Wang said, but explained, "Mr. An is the enlightenment teacher of Haoxuanhaoyu. Mr. is a tax-free farm shop under Juren’s name, and only the Lin family has closed it. At the beginning, Mr. An was able to teach Haoxuan Haoyu because of his father’s face. Now it’s just a house quietly taken over by Beijing. It's not easy to find, that's why we didn't move out, our house is almost finished, if it doesn't work, let Mr. An move there."

Xichun thought for a while and said, "I don't think so. If Mr. An leaves, we'll be fine, but brother Lan is a bit pitiful. You ask brother Xuan and brother Yu to tell the second brother how strict Mr. An is and how serious it is to beat people. It hurts so much, how many books and classics are read every day, the second brother has no way to take this class."

Daiyu thought for a while and said, "Second elder brother is terrified when he sees second uncle and mouse as if seeing a cat. Reading is for the benefit of second elder brother, and grandma won't object even if he is at home."

Xichun said indifferently, "Study is a good thing, but isn't the second elder brother 'still young'? As long as the second elder brother gets sick, the ancestors will not force the second elder brother to go."

Daiyu laughed when she heard that Xichun pronounced the word "still young" into nine twists and eighteen bends, and said, "I'm so anxious, I forgot that my second brother is 'still young'." After saying that, Xichun was also happy, and the two of them Silly smiled at each other for a long time.

The two laughed for a long time and Xichun got up and began to draw flowers, Daiyu said, "Look at my memory, I have people find all the painting things you want, and I found them according to Mr. Chen's instructions. There are a lot of small bowls, I also want a set, and I will follow suit when the time comes."

Xichun didn't accept Daiyu with a polite smile either.

Daiyu looked at Xichun's paintings seriously and didn't bother her, so she went to find Mr. An. "Daiyu" in the Red Mansion didn't have very good sisters in Jia's family. Xue Baochai still had ulterior motives, and she did the same when she came to Daiyu's place. This time Daiyu didn't live in Jiamu's courtyard, even if Jiamu loved her because she was far away, she didn't feel too much, especially Baoyu, as soon as Baoyu appeared within three steps of Daiyu, Chen Siji and Wang Sifu's eyes would be ruthless. Staring at Baoyu fiercely, Baoyu has no chance to take advantage of it. The relationship between the two is not very close.

But Sanchun is still lukewarm to Daiyu, Yingchun is like dough to Daiyu, she agrees with everything Daiyu says, Tanchun is very targeting Daiyu, and Daiyu also wants to stay away from her Xichun is a bit deserted, and Daiyu is better than Yingchun Tanchun, and it is not as good as good sisters. When a few cousins ​​get together, they just chat about poetry and so on, and they don’t have a heart at all. can speak.

The reason why we became acquainted with Xichun was that Lin Ruhai specially sent someone from Yangzhou to send a lot of things over on Daiyu’s birthday, which were useful for fun. Xichun’s eyes were red when she saw it, and Daiyu noticed it carefully, and the little girl cried bitterly. It was time to comfort and comfort, and then he gave Xichun an idea, and asked Xichun to go to the Taoist temple to find Jia Jing and have a good cry. After that, Jia Jing either took Xichun to visit every month, or asked someone to bring something to Xichun. , the two of them got on well.

When Daiyu asked Mr. An, Mr. An was teaching Lan Geer. This was also Li Wan's intention to befriend Daiyu. Chen Siji, Wang Sifu, and Daiyu had guessed it. Li Wan himself had only read a few books about Lie Nu. There is nothing else to teach Jia Lan about books such as biography, except for the three-character classic of the sound rhythm. Lang Geer is also a lovely person. Daiyu often asks people to pick up Lang Geer and send him to Ann As for Mr. An, Mr. An also likes Lang Geer's down-to-earth, so much so that he can be a half-teacher.

Mr. An saw Daiyu coming, so Lan Geer carried the things first, walked over by himself and asked, "Why is the girl here?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Come over and talk to Mr. An about something." Mr. An said, "Girl, please tell me."

Daiyu said, "My second uncle intends to ask Mr. to help teach my second cousin." Mr. An frowned and said, "But the second son who was born with jade." Daiyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. That's it, sir, just agree to it. I have my own way to get my second cousin to push this matter away."

Only then did Mr. An loosen his brows. He had been in Rongguo Mansion for such a long time with Jia Zheng's gang of cleanups, and it was also common for him. In addition, Haoxuan Haoyu's description was very displeased with the second son of the phoenix egg. You can't hit, you can't scold, and you can only worship the ancestors who are willing to teach. Mr. An likes Jialan here, but Jia Baoyu really can't do it. It is best to let the second son push himself.

Daiyu didn't disturb Jia Lan's study, and went straight back to the inner courtyard.

Where is Xichun eating jelly after painting the flower shape? The authentic Sichuan jelly is spicy and spicy. Add some rice vinegar to the well water to cool it down. In summer, you can eat your tongue.

Seeing Daiyu come back, Xichun greeted her, "Sister Lin, come and eat quickly, brother Ziyu will come back later, let him know that we stole the food again, he must be very angry."

Daiyu said, "Don't worry, Haoyu hasn't eaten for a few days, let him eat some now, so he won't see him jumping when you are angry."

Only then did Xichun slow down, and said, "Then I'll finish this, and I'll eat another when I eat."

Daiyu said, "I see you don't have a stomachache."

Xichun just ignored it, and just ate it.

Haoxuan Haoyu came back after Xichun left. Haoyu saw the food so delicious that he didn't rush over first, but took out Lin Ruhai's letter as if offering a treasure, and said, "Sister, sister, open it quickly and see what daddy wrote. .” Xue Cui handed two glasses of mung bean water to the two young masters, then retreated and led someone to guard the door.

The three Daiyu siblings huddled together and looked at it. There was nothing else but ordinary greetings, and this was enough for the Lin family siblings to be happy. At the end there was a separate letter to Daiyu, and Haoyu stretched out his hand. To see the neck, Daiyu pushed it aside.

In this letter, Lin Ruhai said one thing that made Daiyu black. Jia Min's death was really not an accident, but it was not the work of the Lu family. If there were no accidents, it should be the Zhen family. The Zhen family hid it deep enough. If it wasn't for the fact that the Zhen family wanted to give Lin Ruhai a step-wife recently, they made a big move and let the fifth prince take advantage of the loophole. Now Lin Ruhai would not know that Lin Ruhai knew that the Jia family and the Zhen family were old relatives. , the two families have contacts in various etiquettes, and the two families move around very frequently. Lin Ruhai told Daiyu and his brother to be careful about anyone coming from the Zhen family.

Daiyu took a deep breath so as not to lose her composure on the spot, Haoyu raised his head and said, "Sister, what's the matter?" Haoxuan also looked at Daiyu, and Daiyu said, "It's nothing, it's just that someone wants to find us a stepmother."

Haoxuan Haoyu is not very happy, anyone who wants to take the place of his mother, no one will be happy, Daiyu said, "It's okay, Dad didn't agree, just let me be careful, he is afraid that someone will get in front of us Come."

Haoyu said indignantly, "They are not good people." Daiyu rolled her eyes at Haoyu and said, "You're talking nonsense again, eat quickly."

The three siblings had dinner, and Daiyu told Haoxuan Haoyu about what Jia Zheng wanted Mr. An to teach Baoyu, as well as Daiyu's own plans, and said to Haoyu, "Go and play with the second brother. Let’s go.” Hao Yu grinned and ran away, Hao Yu has always been the treasure of the family, now in the Jia family he has to let Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg he dislikes, makes Hao Yu very upset, now he has the opportunity to scare How could Jia Baoyu be unwilling.

After Haoyu left, Daiyu showed the letter to Haoxuan. Haoxuan is becoming more and more mature now, and Daiyu, who is so familiar with Haoxuan recently, doesn't know what he is thinking. She said that she was better than Jia Lian who just went to Lin's house. Daiyu was both happy and distressed by Haoxuan's maturity, and now she doesn't treat him like a child.

Haoxuan was very calm after reading it. If it wasn't for the blue veins on his hands that exposed his heart, even Daiyu would have thought that what he was reading was just an ordinary letter from home.

Daiyu pulled Haoxuan's hand over, not letting him clenched into a fist and hurt himself, Haoxuan felt Daiyu's movement and let go of her hand, hugged Daiyu, Daiyu slammed like Jia Min Caressing Haoxuan's back, after a stick of incense, Haoxuan said, "Sister, don't worry, I will work hard to grow up, and my mother's hatred will definitely be avenged."

Daiyu shed tears as she hugged the little man in her family, and said with a deep grace, "Sister knows, now that the Zhen family is powerful, we can't help it, but the Zhen family will never be like it is now, and there will be a way." of."

Haoxuan got up from Daiyu's arms, and Daiyu wiped away tears, watching Haoxuan burn Lin Ruhai's letter with a fire folder, rinse it in tea, and pour it into the orchid pot in the house.

Haoyu's head is not as heavy as his own brothers and sisters. He is not in good health, except that he was taught by Lin Ruhai for half a year before he came to Beijing. It's different, most of it is to cultivate sentiment. Baoyu and Haoyu can talk a few more words, and Baoyu is very happy to see Haoyu coming.

Jia's mother smiled happily, "Why is Yu'er here? Even at night, the ground is scorching hot. Be careful."

Haoyu laughed and said, "Today we made shepherd's purse siu mai. My sister remembered that my grandmother was willing to eat it, but she didn't dare to come out, so she wanted to send someone to bring it to my grandmother. When I heard about it, I snatched it up."

Mother Jia was very happy to hear that, she put her arms around Haoyu for a rare meal, and Baoyu asked beside her, "How is sister Lin, is she feeling better? Did she use the rose chess cake I sent over?"

Hao Yu said with a smile, "My sister is fine, but the weather in Beijing and Yangzhou is different in summer. My sister is not used to it and dare not go out and walk too much. My brother endorsed me and my sister listened. The cake is still a bit tired. My sister doesn't like it very much. On the contrary, my elder brother ate all the ones he liked, and asked me to come over and ask the second elder brother if he had any more, the one made by our cook is not as good as the one made by grandma."

As he said that, he looked at Jia Mu with bright eyes, and Jia Mu smiled and said, "What is it worth, I will have someone make it tomorrow and send it over, and I will definitely be able to eat it tomorrow morning." Haoyu hugged Jia Mu and smiled, "Grandmother Best."

Jia Baoyu was sluggish. Needless to say, the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family and Daiyu, Baoyu was like a dog skin plaster and wanted to stick it on Daiyu. However, Daiyu was accompanied by two great gods, so Baoyu couldn't get in at all. Baoyu can only feel dejected, Haoyu learns miscellaneous things, and he can talk to Baoyu, even if Haoxuan is cold-faced, he will not talk about it. The whole small country is a thief and ghost, which makes Baoyu very unhappy. Haoxuan ate the rose chess cake for sister Lin, how could he not be depressed.

Haoyu looked at Baoyu with a smile and was very happy, but Jia's mother said, "Baoyu and Yu'er go play." Then Baoyu became happy, and took Haoyu into the inner room.

Baoyu asked, "Brother Yu, how can Brother Xuan still make Sister Lin listen to the endorsement?"

Haoyu said, "Master has always been strict with me, and my brother's learning is different from mine. It's okay to make a mistake. If you really make a mistake, you can be punished. Master loves to have people copy books." , the copying hands are swollen."

Baoyu frowned and said, "Master Cai is really serious. How could he be so strict?"

Haoyu said indifferently, "It's okay, it's much better, second brother, you don't know, Mr. An is strict."

Baoyu said, "Mr. An seems to have a good temper, so he must be stronger than Mr. Cai."

Hao Yu said, "Mr. An usually looks very easy to talk to, but that was when you didn't see Mr. An teaching. We were only young at that time, and we couldn't write well in block letters. My brother made a mistake, and Mr. An punished him. You can write big characters, but you can’t write anything else. You can only write four books and five classics. My brother has written capital letters hundreds of times if not thousands of times since he was a child. My brother can memorize them all the time. This is really cruel. Master, what is that? .”

Baoyu gasped when he heard this, and asked, "How can Mr. An do this. Uncle Lin doesn't care!"

Haoyu sighed and said, "Second elder brother, it's not that you don't know that I'm in good health, but the doctor also said not to bother me, the family affairs are all on my elder brother, and my elder brother will take the imperial examination in the future. The Four Books and Five Classics are the most important in the imperial examination, and my father was too happy to hear that, so why would he care about it, it would be nice not to add two points to my brother."

Baoyu was speechless all of a sudden. Isn't it the same for Jia Zheng?Haoyu also listed one or two things about Haoxuan being fined, making Baoyu, who doesn't like Haoxuan, feel that Haoxuan is really pitiful, and I guarantee that Jia Baoyu will be scared sick when he hears that he will go to Mr. An's class. Hao Yu just ran back.

After listening to Haoyu's description, Daiyu praised Haoyu severely, but Haoyu still refused to leave, looking at Daiyu with bright eyes, Daiyu felt a little relieved in her heart, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow will let people Make pots of shrimp for you."

Haoyu smiled and said, "Sister is so kind." Daiyu pinched his little nose and said, "Little greedy cat."

The next day Yuanyang came to deliver the snacks, looked at Daiyu and said, "When the weather is not so hot, Miss Lin will go to our side more often. The old lady is talking about the girl every day. Even if it is hot this day, the old lady will not dare Come out for a walk, or else you will come to see Miss Lin in person."

Daiyu said, "Sister Yuanyang go back first, I was going to go to pay my grandmother's greetings today, but I'm going to trouble you to make another trip."

Yuanyang smiled and said, "Every time I come to Miss Lin's place, I always have good tea and snacks. Others can't grab it if they want to." Daiyu joked with Yuanyang, and Yuanyang went down to talk to Zijuan.

Zijuan was very happy to see the mandarin duck, and quickly asked, "My good sister, why are you here today?"

Yuanyang said, "Brother Xuan said that the rose chess cakes we make are delicious. The old lady specially asked someone to make them in the morning and sent me to deliver them. Why haven't you been out of our place for a long time? What are you doing all day bored? Heartless girl."

Zijuan sighed and said, "The housekeeper is very strict, and the servants in the house are not allowed to move around. In the past, the girl often went to the old lady's place to say hello. The girl was sympathetic to me and asked me to follow her back. This time, the girl stayed in the house." It's been more than ten days, how can I go out, I'm the last girl, so I don't want to be too casual."

Yuanyang asked in a low voice, "But there are people who make things difficult for you." Zijuan said, "Is this really the case? Anyway, I was given by the old lady. It's all good for me. Food, clothing and jewelry are all good things." It's just that there are quite a few smart people around the girl, each performing their duties, and I, who came out of the blue, can't get into the girl's body."

Zijuan had no choice but to comfort the mandarin ducks, "It's nothing. It takes a long time to see people's hearts. You are so good at serving. Miss Lin will always see you when you are good."

Wang Momo looked at Daiyu's fine linen clothes, and asked, "Girl, please go to pay your respects to the old lady, do you want to change?"

Wang Momo smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, this fine linen is rare, not to mention such a light color, it is much more valuable than ordinary silk and satin."

Wang Momo said worriedly, "Those who understand can't say anything, just afraid that those who don't understand will talk nonsense. There are a pair of rich eyes growing up and down, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Daiyu said, "Nurse don't need to worry too much. I have two gentlemen following me in my actions. What else can they say?"

Tanchun saw Daiyu coming to greet Mother Jia and smiled, "Sister Lin is a rare visitor, why are you here today?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "I miss my grandmother, so I will come here naturally."

Tanchun didn't answer, she stabbed Daiyu and said that she was jealous of Jiamu, Jiamu was happy, she could do well with Mrs. Wang, if she stabbed too much, she would not fail.

Jia Mu put her arms around Daiyu and said, "Yu'er seems to have lost weight, but she can't eat well."

Daiyu stood up and said, "Grandmother is taking a closer look, she is not thinner, but taller."

Jia Mu nodded and smiled, "It's true."

Jia Baoyu hurried back from Mrs. Wang and took a sneak peek at Wang Sifu. Wang Sifu was always sitting behind Daiyu with a smile on his lips. Why don't you get someone to call me?"

Daiyu said lightly, "I'm not too far away. I won't be here for a long time. The second elder brother went to pay his respects to the second aunt. If nothing happened, he called you back. What's the matter?"

Baoyu didn't get angry after laughing twice, and Daiyu couldn't speak coldly to Baoyu, so she had to turn her head to talk to Jia Mu.

In fact, if there was no Mrs. Wang, Daiyu would definitely not hate Baoyu so much, but Mrs. Wang is Baoyu's biological mother, and she still regards Baoyu as her mother-in-law, her lifeblood, and Daiyu can't like Baoyu no matter what she sees.

Seeing Mrs. Wang walking in, Daiyu felt that she could talk about Lin Ruhai a few more times every day when she went back at night, maybe she could see Lin Ruhai sooner.

Jia Mu asked with a smile, "Why are you here now?"

Mrs. Wang said, "I just got some small jewelry, and I don't have any to keep, so I thought about sharing them with the sisters, and saving them for nothing. I heard that the sisters were all in front of the old lady, so they came to join in the fun. They The sisters and the niece each have four branches, just fine."

Jin Chuan took the box in his hand and opened it for Sanchun and Daiyu to choose. Daiyu was picking it up when she heard Mrs. Wang say, "The birthday gift for the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Zhen has been prepared, and I am waiting for someone to send it to you." gone."

Jia Mu said, "After packing up, let someone send it. Jinling is not far away. If something happens on this road, it will also delay time."

Mrs. Wang agreed, and Mother Jia thought for a while and asked, "When will your brother's family be sent there, and then our two families can go together."

Mrs. Wang had a look of embarrassment on her face, and said, "My brother said that when our family sent someone to deliver it, it would be good for someone to go with him.

The smile on Mother Jia's face faded, and she didn't say anything.

The author has something to say: Hehe, there is another chapter at six o'clock in the evening
