Daiyu's life

Chapter 45

The Daiyu siblings took Jiamu's jewelry and didn't say anything. Some people who walked around with the Lin family asked about the Lin family. The wife ran errands and took the things over. There were rumors outside that this was not enough. Mrs. Wang still stayed behind closed doors. The New Year and other important matters were left to Mrs. Xing, who stayed behind closed doors in the East Courtyard.

The members of the Jia family and the Lin family all thought Mrs. Wang was just pretending to be ill to hide her shame. The outside bed was covered by a quilt, and everyone knew what was going on inside.Mrs. Wang was worse than Daiyu and others thought. Mrs. Wang was really sick. Some of the women who spread the word sold their whole families, and some of them were thrown into the Zhuangzi. Many of them were Mrs. Wang's confidantes. , Mrs. Wang was angry and anxious, angry because they were talking nonsense, and anxious because her hands were damaged a lot, and she fell ill immediately.

Baochai was in a hurry in the Pear Fragrance Garden. Mrs. Wang said to find her nanny, but she couldn't find her after two months of searching. Xue Pan also helped to find her outside. It cost a lot of money. The rough envoys in the palace sent it out, and those people taught the nouveau riche how to think of Baochai, and Wang Ziteng's family was too far away, so they couldn't count on it.

Baochai thought that Mrs. Wang could not be found, so she waited for the Lin family siblings to come back and asked Wang Sifu and Chen Siji to step up her training during this period of time. As a result, the Lin family siblings were all sick when they came back, and now After such a commotion, Mrs. Wang couldn't leave the door behind closed doors, and Baochai was forced to knock on the door of Lin's house with something.

Daiyu Haoyu has a weak foundation, he has taken good care of the day after tomorrow, and pays attention to it at ordinary times, so he doesn't need to drink bitter medicine juice often. face is smaller.

Baochai said with pity on her face, "My good sister, why is she so seriously ill?"

Daiyu was taken aback by Baochai's words, and touched her face uncomfortably. In fact, she and Haoyu had recovered a long time ago, but she was much thinner. When Baochai asked her this question, Daiyu thought she had some incurable disease. It's over.

Daiyu said weakly, "Sister Bao, why are you here today?"

Baochai put down the things in his hand, tucked the quilt for Daiyu, and said, "A few days ago, the imperial doctor said that sister Lin and brother Lin should rest in peace, and that we can't let God be spared. I heard that you are better, so I came to see you." look at you."

Daiyu said, "It's all our fault, it's so self-willed that you have missed it for so long."

Baochai shook her head and smiled, "They're all sisters from the same family. What are you doing seeing outsiders like this?" Baochai then handed the things in his hand to Xuejuan and said, "This is the best blood swallow. My sister sends someone to cook it every day. One cup is the most nourishing."

Daiyu hurriedly said, "I have them at home. The imperial doctor said that it is not suitable for mending too much at this time, so there is no food." Baochai just shook her head and refused to take it back. It's too tearful, so I can only accept it, thinking about finding a reason to return it later.

Baochai said two more words before going back.

The left mother next to Haoyu looked at it, and said that it was indeed the best bird's nest, and there was nothing wrong with it, so Daiyu asked people to put it away, and Haoyu came out from the inside and said, "It's okay for Miss Xue to send these bird's nests to our house." what."

Hao Xuan said, "This Miss Xue is going to enter the palace, my brother will never forget."

Haoyu said, "She is going to enter the palace, why is she entering the palace, is she going to be a court lady?" Daiyu couldn't ignore the schadenfreude in Haoyu's mouth, so she flicked Haoyu's forehead and said, "Bad boy. "

Haoyu smiled indifferently, Daiyu also knew the purpose of Baochai's visit, Daiyu didn't expect that Baochai wanted to borrow not a nun but a female official, and she was waiting for Baochai to speak, so that Madam Cui left Madam Anyone who goes there can teach for a period of time.

As a result, Mrs. Wang's fighting power was too strong. Before Baochai came to the door to speak again, news came out from the palace that Baochai's name had been crossed out because of Xue Pan's beating to death. Baochai was accompanying Mrs. Wang at the time. The aunt came in crying, put her arms around Baochai and cried, "My poor son."

Baochai hurriedly helped Aunt Xue to sit down, and quickly asked, "Mom, what's the matter, but what happened?"

Mrs. Wang also sat up from the bed and asked, "What's the matter?"

Aunt Xue said sobbingly, "The matter of that child Pan'er beating someone to death, I somehow let the people above know that it was Concubine Ning who personally asked Baochai's name to be crossed out. How did the higher ups know that it was good?"

Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "This time, I will choose companions for the three princesses. Two of them were born by Concubine Ning, and the other one was born to a low-grade empress, and she was also raised in Concubine Ning's palace. Maybe Concubine Ning is worried and makes people feel uncomfortable." Go and find out."

Aunt Xue hugged Baochai and cried, "My poor son."

Baochai's face was also pale, and Aunt Xue became even more anxious when she saw it, and said very anxiously, "If someone else crossed it out, we can still go to the imperial concubine to intercede. The princess's mother and adoptive mother crossed it out, what can we do?" Is good."

Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "I can only try it." Mrs. Wang said that she was going to ask someone to open the box to get the bank notes in the palace. Take the silver." As he spoke, he took out 1 taels of silver bills and stuffed them into Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was not polite, so she just kept them, and handed them to Zhou Rui's family together with the ones in her own box. Zhou Rui's family She picked it up, and left with a low eyebrow.

Mrs. Wang turned her head and persuaded Aunt Xue, "You should take Bao girl home first, and I will send someone to tell you to go as soon as I have the letter."

Aunt Xue felt distressed when she saw Baochai's pale face. In addition, Mrs. Wang gave Baochai money out of her own pocket, so Aunt Xue didn't suspect him, so she really thought that Mrs. Wang really wanted Baochai. Entering the palace, when the time comes, Yuanchun and Yuanchun can help each other.

Aunt Xue, mother and son left for a while, and Zhou Rui's family came back, and handed back the banknote in her arms to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang showed a sincere smile on her dark yellow face, and took a piece of paper from it. 50 taels to Zhou Rui's family, and said, "Go back and buy candy for your little grandson."

Zhou Rui's family responded with a smile.

The news that Baochai could not enter the palace was finally confirmed on the fifth day of the lunar new year. Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang cried bitterly, "It's because we are tired, girl Bao."

Mrs. Wang also wiped her tears and said, "It's also my selfishness. I thought Yuan Chun was alone in the palace, and there was no one to help me. Bao girl is just like my own girl. She has a deep relationship with Sister Yuan Chun, so it's good to go to the palace." There is a mutual help, who knows that this is the result."

Baochai stayed in Lixiangyuan and did not come out. After the sisters, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue cried bitterly, Mrs. Wang revealed that she really liked Baochai so much and wanted to hire her as a daughter-in-law. Aunt Xue thought it was heaven What a good thing, the two sisters murmured, and the golden and jade marriage came out.

In fact, Daiyu recovered from her illness in less than seven days. Even Haoyu recovered after more than half a month, but the Lin family members were unwilling to go out and hid quietly in the yard. It's just about getting rid of clothes, and there are a lot of preparations at home. It's nothing if you don't go out, so you don't go out for a walk, but you all nest here in the front yard. The capital Linfu has also been built, and the nursing home and so on Now, Daiyu asked Su Yang to send a lot of nursing homes to Rongguo Mansion to be relieved.

Xichun knocked on the little melon seeds and said, "Sister, do you know that Sister Bao will not be able to enter the palace." At some point, Xichun directly omitted Sister Lin's word Lin, and called her sister just like Haoxuanhaoyu.

Daiyu only knew that Baochai failed to enter the palace, but she couldn't remember exactly why, and asked very curiously, "Sister Bao is going to the small election, the best one is just the princess's companion, is the female officer How could someone like us be deselected when they were not elected?"

Xichun said mysteriously, "Sister Bao and her elder brother beat someone to death when they were in Jinling, and they said they let their superiors know about it. They were afraid that Sister Bao's character would be bad, so they crossed it out."

Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you know, there is no rumor in this mansion."

Xichun said triumphantly, "The adults in this mansion know about it, but they just kept it from us. Yesterday, I went back to the mansion over there to hear what my sister-in-law said."

Jia Jing often asks about Xichun. If Jia Zhenyou and her husband don't ask about Xichun, they are just waiting for death. Now they treat Xichun very well. Xichun is a child who is easy to be content. Satisfied, the desertedness on my body is much less, and the childishness is getting worse.

Daiyu said, "Actually, it's right to keep it a secret. If it gets out, it will be embarrassing for Sister Bao to be with us."

Xichun said, "I just don't like her strength to preach with her identity. In terms of identity, the three elder sisters are all higher than her. The Xue family is rich, so it is impossible to marry the entire Xue family to her, right? It's a bastard's temper, worse than my brother's, and she preaches something every day with her identity."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Your little mouth is getting more and more unforgiving, and you are not shy at all when it comes to dowry."

Xichun giggled and didn't refute. In fact, there is something Daiyu doesn't know. Jia Jing didn't go to the Taoist temple for nothing. Yes, nothing happened to Ningguo, but Jia Zhen was really useless, so Jia Jing never felt relieved to give it to him. As a result, Xichun went to visit Jia Jing every month, and Jia Jing became more and more interested in Xichun. Xichun has not prepared any dowry for many years. You must know that Xichun is the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion. Her dowry should have been prepared as soon as it landed. That is, when Jia Jing went to the Taoist temple, Xichun's mother passed away. Even if you don't treat Xichun like a daughter, you can't just ignore it.

Jia Jing deposited everything in the bank, including gold and silver, head jewelry and some antiques. They were sold at the original price, and they were worth 100 million taels. They were taken away with tokens. hanging on it.

Don't think that Xichun doesn't understand these things when she is young. It's a simple truth that you don't panic when you have money.It's like Xichun used to not be able to ask for some paint. If she had money, she couldn't buy it. It's vulgar for boudoir ladies to talk about money, but Xichun believes that if people don't want to be so vulgar, they just To be able to marry and be an aunt, she could not be vulgar before, so she thought it would be good to be a nun and be an aunt, but now that she can be vulgar, Xichun thinks she is still vulgar.

Xichun is grateful to Daiyu, not only Daiyu gave her the idea to go to Jia Jing and cried, but also how Daiyu treated Lin Ruhai, taught Xichun how to respect Jia Jing, and made shoes and socks with her own hands. , The newly found medicinal recipes, what delicious food I have made, I will give some to Jia Jing if I can give it to Xichun, and if I can’t give it, I will write the house and send it to Jia Jing, etc. Xichun can’t do these things Tell Daiyu that you can only be more sincere to Daiyu, the two are really like sisters.

Daiyu didn't know what was going on in Xichun's heart, so she just asked, "Then have you visited Sister Bao?"

Xichun said, "I just came out of Pear Fragrance Garden. People saw that I was fine, but I heard that I just couldn't eat."

Daiyu said, "I said why I didn't know the news before. It just came out after a long time of trouble." Then she asked Xuejuan to take the sherbet fragrance from the West to see Baochai, and ordered, "You tell Baochai Sister, just say that I am still being raised at home now, and the doctor will not let me go out, and I will go to see her when I feel better."

Xichun said, "I don't know if sister Bao can understand my sister's heart."

Daiyu laughed and said, "You think too well of me, but when Haoyu and I were sick, Sister Bao came to see it. If I don't let the girl take things with me, it's considered polite. favored her."

Xichun said, "I don't care what my sister thinks, that's what I think."

When Xuejuan came to Lixiangyuan, she didn't see Baochai, only Yinger was watching. Seeing Xuejuan coming, Yinger hissed softly, and Xuejuan whispered, "Our girl heard about Miss Baochai. Son, it's just that she can't come out and walk around now, so she can't make it through. I heard that Miss Bao can't eat, so she specially asked me to send some sherbet fragrance over. Couldn't be more appetizing."

Yinger whispered, "I will thank Ms. Lin on behalf of our girl. When our girl gets better, I will definitely go to see Ms. Lin."

Xuejuan smiled and nodded, and came back without saying anything.
