Daiyu's life

Chapter 60

Lin Zhixiao's family watched the truckloads of things being transported away. When they returned home, their hands and feet were cold. Seeing that Lin Zhixiao, the chief executive of the Rongguo Mansion, came back, they asked nervously, "Master, old lady But do you believe it?"

Lin Zhixiao wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "So what if you don't believe me, I didn't go alone when the house was raided, only those things were copied, who can do anything about it."

Lin Zhixiao's family felt relieved now, and muttered, "Who would have thought that the second master Lian has only been out for a few years, and has such abilities."

Lin Zhixiao also had lingering fears when he thought about the Rongguo Mansion this time. On one side, Jia Mu ordered him to copy these houses, but on the other side, Jia Lian's people came out. Not only did they clean up that house, Zhou Rui's son-in-law, Lai Shangrong and others from the Lai family were sent to prison by Jia Lian. It was just in time for autumn, and they were all exiled by the prison team that followed them directly. These are all good.

The most ruthless thing is that Lai Da and others were directly sold to the black kiln mine, where thousands of people went in and not one came out. People couldn't react at all, and what left him to pull him back to Rongguo Mansion was nothing more than two or three out of ten things. What happened in the past few days made Lin Zhixiao feel terrified when he thought about it.

Lin Zhixiao said after a while, "When the family visitation in this mansion is finished, send the eldest son, the second son, and the girl to Jiangwan."

Lin Zhixiao's family burst into tears, and cried out, "What evil did I do, to avoid this disaster well, if I knew it today, it would be better to be the second manager in peace."

Lin Zhixiao sighed, this is called a fight between gods and ghosts, and how many people were affected by Mrs. Wang's incident. As a result, these people died, those who were exiled, those who were sold were sold, and Mrs. Wang still sat in the seat. Rongguo mansion as her second wife.

Lin Zhixiao said to himself, "In a few years, when Second Master Lian is relieved, we will redeem our whole family, go back to our hometown and buy a few acres of land, and forget about being ordinary people."

Lin Zhixiao's family spat, "You think it's beautiful, Lai Shangrong and Leng Zixing are not ordinary people. In the end, they didn't say that they were exiled. They didn't have anyone to take care of them along the way, and they didn't have any money. Wherever you live, you can talk about two things, and the second master of Lian is so skillful now that you can leave if you want."

Lin Zhixiao didn't speak anymore, he only thought that he had said something harsh, and then tried to comfort him for a long time, Lin Zhixiao rested at home for a while and still went to work in the mansion without mentioning it.

With a gloomy face, Jiamu casually flipped through the things Lin Zhixiao had copied back, and asked Yuanyang, "But I asked clearly, there are only these things!"

Yuanyang lowered her head and replied, "That's all."

Jia Mu's face was even worse. The total amount of things copied from Lai Da Zhou Rui and others was less than 10 taels. Mother Jia couldn't find out what was wrong there, so she didn't want to investigate again with great fanfare. This time, there was no gossip in Beijing. It was the Lin family who helped. The Lin family had already helped once, and Mother Jia saved it again. Mrs. Wang, the attitude of the Lin family is even more distant, and the Lin family will not interfere any more.It was the money that Jia Mu was dissatisfied with, so Jia Mu could only pinch her nose and accept the result.

In fact, this is what Jia's mother thought too well. Lin Ruhai intervened, but there was very little help. Most of them were run by Jia Lian. Several people were sent to Beijing to stay there for more than half a year, not only to help Jia Shen get some money, even though it is shameful to make money from a slave's house, but now that the money is in hand, Jia Lian doesn't care whether he is ashamed or not. It's a shame, he doesn't have the strength to protect the Rongguo Mansion, he just needs to get some more money.

Daiyu knew that Mother Jia had defended Mrs. Wang again, so she didn't react at all. Instead, she dressed neatly and went to the general's residence. Two tables of small seats invited Daiyu and others to come over.

Daiyu went out quite early, but no earlier than the distance between the General's Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion. Daiyu will be there by then.

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's because I'm late."

Baoyu said first, "We came earlier. My sister's family comes to this mansion sometimes. It is not easy for my sister to arrive so early."

Daiyu smiled, didn't talk to Baoyu, just sat down with Xichun and others in the past, the filial piety period in this mansion has not yet passed, there is no way for the little opera singers, just called two storytellers to come over to relieve everyone's boredom That's all.

Daiyu looked around but didn't see Qin Keqing, Xichun saw her, pulled Daiyu and said, "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law specially brought some food boxes over, she hasn't given her filial piety yet, why don't you laugh with us, stay After a while, I left, and my sister didn't see her."

Daiyu smiled and said, "She is the most harmonious."

Tanchun Baochai has bruises that cannot be covered by makeup. The matter of Rongguo Mansion has just been completed. Lai Da Zhourui and others dealt with it quickly, but it will be over in a few days, but the impact it brings cannot be achieved in a day or two. If it was eliminated, Daiyu Xichun pretended not to see it, and talked to everyone normally.

Where is Jia Huan playing dice with the little girl, winning a lot, smiling happily, Tan Chun frowned.

Tanchun said, "In a month's time, my second sister will get married, and the days go by really fast. Now there are fewer and fewer people in the mansion, and life is becoming more and more boring."

Baoyu sighed, and when Yingchun left, Baoyu cried a few times, and Tanchun Baochai persuaded her a few times.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Third younger sister said that life is boring, so wouldn't fourth younger sister and I be even more miserable?"

Tanchun said, "If the fourth sister said this, I would still believe it, but I would never believe what the elder sister said. I heard that the West Mountain is the most lively place."

Daiyu said, "That means there are two more banquets, and the rest are not much different from those in the city."

Lang Geer interjected, "Aunt Lin, did you go hunting?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "The hunting grounds are always close to people, and there is no chance for the women's families." The princesses of today's saints are still young, and the eldest princesses have all stopped. Part of it is for the female relatives to hunt, so so far Daiyu's small bow is just for her to shoot a few targets for fun.

Brother Lang was a little disappointed, and Daiyu whispered when she saw it, "When it's mid-September, you ask the school for a day off and ask Uncle Xuan Yu to take you hunting. At that time, the prey will be much fatter than in summer."

Lan Ge'er lowered his head and started to giggle secretly. Baochai sat and watched the crowd chatting and laughing with a smile all the time, never interjecting, very ladylike.

There were also a lot of things going on in Rongguo Mansion. Baoyu didn't stay long at all, so Jia Mu called her back. Yu has always been wishful thinking to please herself, and the two have not had much contact at all, so they are not too disappointed even if they are unwilling to leave now.

As soon as they left without mentioning Daiyu, even Xichun became relaxed.

Seeing Daiyu and Xichun side by side, Xuejuan smiled and took out all the cosmetics that Daiyu had given to Xichun, Daiyu looked at it and said with a smile, "I forgot about it, come and have a look."

Xichun opened the bamboo box, there were a bunch of bottles and cans inside, Xichun smiled and said, "What are these?"

Daiyu opened them one by one and introduced them to Xichun, "This is rice flour, you can just rub some on at home, this is pearl cream, this is foundation made from jasmine seeds, this is eyebrow powder, lip balm of various colors, balm, soap The corners were all made with a few girls a few days ago, and they are cleaner than the ones outside."

Xichun laughed and said, "The makeup powder of Renxiaotang has to be bought in a queue, and it's rare for my sister to do it by herself. It's more than clean."

Daiyu nodded Xichun's head and said, "You are a bad girl. I don't believe that your master is not prepared to marry you."

Xichun grinned, but didn't answer, she was not old enough to use these before, and usually just rubbed some face oil on her face.

Whether these things can be used is another matter, but they are so exquisitely made that people can't help but hold them in their hands and play with them.

Daiyu wears a chain made of multi-colored gemstones on her wrist, which is wound three or four times around her wrist, and when it comes into contact with various small porcelain bottles, it is very happy to jingle.

Xichun held on to Daiyu's wrist, raised her eyebrows and looked at Daiyu.

Daiyu said shamelessly, "What are you looking at? It was given by your brother-in-law." Sometimes Daiyu would pretend to be shy in front of Lin Ruhai, Haoxuan and Haoyu, but not here in Xichun, because girls always think of it. Almost, no matter what Zheng Yiran is interested in her for, it is always a good sign, the relationship comes from getting along, and the days will always get better.

Xichun smiled and said, "As long as my sister is happy."

Daiyu was very happy. She and Zheng Yiran had never seen each other again, but they kept in touch. I heard Haoyu said that Daiyu's military fingerless cowhide gloves imitated the modern ones. Zheng Yiran basically wore them every day. I also think about Daiyu. In the past, some street snacks were brought back by Haoxuan Haoyu when she went out. Now the Lin family can often eat the food brought by Zheng Yiran, and there is a steady stream of novelty small objects sent them to Daiyu's boudoir.

Daiyu also responded to this a lot. Apart from occasionally doing two pieces of needlework, the pickles, ham and duck feet made by the Lin family were also sent to Zheng's house. What Daiyu didn't know was that Lin Ruhai, the father, ate a vat of vinegar. Another tank, even Haoxuan Haoyu is not good to go there.

Xichun held the duck egg powder in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said to Daiyu with a smile, "The old lady dealt with Lai Da, brother Rong's daughter-in-law just talked to Lai Sheng for a while last night, Then Lai Sheng handed over his property and left with his wife and children."

Daiyu said, "Then Lai Sheng may transfer out how much, and now it's good if half of them are handed back."

Xichun nodded and said, "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law also said the same thing, but there are few things in our house, and they can't get so much money even if they want to be greedy. It's not as big as building a garden over there."

Xichun then sighed and said, "Why bother building such a garden? It costs so much money. The garden in our mansion may not be visited several times a year, and there must be someone to clean it. The old lady used to be so disliked by Sister Xibao. For the sake of the garden, Zizi let Sister Bao and Second Brother play together, but Sister Yun hasn't come for a long time."

The process of extracting roses will produce rose dew, which is also precious at this time. The Lin family specializes in making rose essential oils. Except for some of the essential oils that Daiyu took for herself or as gifts, they are all used in face cream Well, this Rose Lu Daiyu was not sold by the man in the blue shirt, but was kept for his own use or given away.

At this moment, he was preparing water for Xichun, he paused his hands when he heard this, and asked, "Sister Yun hasn't been there for a long time, I know, grandma actually let sister Bao and second cousin play together?! "

Xichun nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Bao is the second grandmother of Bao. I heard that Sister Bao's words in that house are better than sister-in-law's."

Daiyu said, "Actually, it's good for Sister Bao to match the second cousin. The second cousin is the one who loves others the most. However, if you find a stronger cousin, and hurt the sisters in his house, the second cousin Don't cry to death."

Xichun burst out laughing, and said with a light smile, "Sister said the same thing. I didn't like Sister Bao at first. I was too utilitarian and acted like a businessman. After a few days in the mansion, I overwhelmed her." The three of us are on the same side, but now I think that Sister Bao's personality is the best match for my second brother."

Daiyu nodded in agreement, and hoped that Mother Jia really thought about it, and don't let Xue Baochai wait until the [-]th or [-]th to marry Baoyu.

***

Zheng Yiran is six years older than Daiyu, and by the time Daiyu is born, Zheng Yiran will be 21, and men will be crowned at 17. There are very few men who are over [-] and still not married. Lin Ruhai's idea of ​​keeping Daiyu until she is [-] is It can't be realized at all. Although the two families haven't finalized the wedding date, Lin Ruhai just found all kinds of bright red silks and satins and sent them to Daiyu's house after the New Year. Daiyu brought over some styles of marriage.

Marriage was done by a special person, but the little things had to be done by Daiyu herself. Daiyu rubbed her sore arms, and asked her to put up the pillow that was playing with the mandarin ducks.

Xuejuan came over and rubbed Daiyu's arms and said, "The outfits for Miss Hui are all ready, Miss Hui, please take another look."

Daiyu said, "Bring over the public ones and my private ones. I'll take a closer look later. I'm going to my foster mother's house tomorrow."

Xuejuan agreed, and after a while Xuejuan Xuecui led someone to bring things in. The public prepared for Cai Yahui a set of golden phoenix head noodles inlaid with jade and pearls, and a set of Jingfu long hairpins. A small kang screen made of red sandalwood, a hundred sons and grandsons, and a pair of five-beaded round horn palace lanterns, Daiyu confirmed it again before counting.

The two sons of the Cai family are out, and they can still live a good life. Daiyu's private shares are all some exquisite little things, not too expensive, but they are all caring.

Yahui was very happy to see Daiyu coming in, and the two married daughters of the Cai family also came, Daiyu smiled and said, "Eldest sister, second sister."

Seeing Daiyu, Cai Yalan and Cai Yayue stood up to greet her, and said with a smile, "Sister Yu'er, come in quickly, I haven't seen her for so long and she has grown a lot."

Daiyu smiled, and they stayed with them for a while, the two sisters of the Cai family would live in their mother's house at night, and they didn't care about it for a while, and when they were all gone, Daiyu prepared it in private. He took out the things and said, "This one belongs to me, and this one belongs to the fourth sister. The second sister knew that you were going to get married, so she brought something back from Jiangwan, and kept it with me, and now it's all here." .”

Among the three of them, except for the married Yingchun who gave jade noodles, the rest were small things, which is also a custom, Yahui didn't refuse, and took it shyly. "

Yahui's husband and son-in-law had already been arranged, this year after the six ceremonies to get married, Daiyu said with a smile, "My sister doesn't even need to put rouge on her face."

Yahui gave Daiyu a blank look, and Daiyu felt deeply that she had made a mistake and spoiled a good scholarly beauty.

Ya Hui asked, "How is sister Ying doing now? I still received a letter from her at the beginning of the year."

Daiyu said, "Very good. The fourth generation of merchants of the Zhao family managed to produce such a juror. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole family supports them. The second sister is not the one who wants to be strong. Her mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law treat the second sister It's also quite kind. It's just that there are some differences in the rules, so we have to pay attention to them one by one."

Yahui was married upright and heard that her sisters were doing well in the past. Not only was she happy in her heart, but she also felt more relaxed.

Yahui said, "It's just the low family, as long as the life is good. Uncle's life today is nothing compared to Yingjie's."

Ke Youbo is two years older than Yahui, and he got married at the end of last year. Mrs. Ke treats the concubine well, and all the people she finds for Ke Youbo are good people, but they are too nice and well-mannered. Ke Youbo's life today Life was not very satisfactory, a few days ago Yahui invited her former sisters over for a gathering, Ke Youbo looked very haggard.

Daiyu persuaded, "I have met Mrs. Miao a few times, and she is quite kind. As long as my sister takes care of her duties, she will be able to live a good life."

Ya Hui said, "Eldest sister and second sister also said the same, but I'm really uneasy."

Daiyu had no choice but to follow up with a few more words of persuasion, and Yahui finally sighed, "Sister Yu'er will have a better life in the future. Although Commander Zheng is a general, the separation is another matter, so Mrs. Zou is the stepwife. With a reputation of harsh treatment, you will never find trouble in the future."

The corners of Daiyu's mouth curled up uncontrollably, Yahui pinched lightly and said, "What a shameless girl."

Daiyu disagreed and said, "Obviously my sister brought it up first, but why is she now a girl I'm not ashamed of?"

Yahui didn't care about Daiyu's excuses, she just scratched her face with her hands, and the two laughed and quarreled for a while, the Cai family has enough things now, the adoptive daughter is still different from the biological daughter, and Daiyu will go home at night, Don't trouble the Cai family.

After Daiyu changed her clothes, she went to have a meal with Lin Ruhai, Haoxuan and Haoyu. She didn't eat or sleep. After the meal, Lin Ruhai asked a little depressed, "How is the Cai family today?"

Daiyu behaved normally, and said, "It's okay, I've been with Sister Hui all the time, I don't know what's going on outside."

Hao Yu interjected, "It must be the excitement, and Master has been busy for several days."

Lin Ruhai's face turned dark involuntarily. When Lin Ruhai thought of happily marrying off his precious daughter, his heart felt as if someone had cut it out. He couldn't be happy anyway. Daiyu glared at Hao Yu, Lin Ruhai is not happy right now, the way to be happy is to find Zheng Yiran who is unhappy, and the name is called experience.

Hao Yu pretended not to see it.

Of course, Lin Ruhai is not Bai Lilian's uncle, and it must be good for Zheng Yiran. Zheng Yiran's life can be described as painful and happy.

Cai Yahui became a monk and Daiyu, as an unmarried little sister of her natal family, has been with Yahui all the time. The sound of firecrackers in Cai's house was loud, and Cai Yahui's second brother rushed back to carry Yahui to the sedan chair. Seeing Yahui being carried away, Mrs. Cai cried I couldn't help myself, and many people comforted me for a long time, but they couldn't stop crying.

****

Xichun sighed, "Sister Hui is married, but unfortunately I don't have the chance to see her."

Daiyu said, "It's good not to see each other, but it's always sad when we see each other."

Seeing that Daiyu was a bit sad, Xichun changed the subject and said to Daiyu with a smile, "The eldest uncle went to marry the second sister, but the second sister is pregnant now and the eldest master has not come back."

Daiyu said, "How can I come back after getting out of this cage?" Xichun stared at Daiyu with wide-eyed eyes in surprise. Jia She said that he threw up blood in order to rush back to attend the concubine's visit, so he couldn't move and could only rest , and then did not rush back.

Seeing Xichun's small appearance, Daiyu laughed, "Silly boy, you have to fall so badly to not return to Beijing for such a long time."

This is really beyond Xichun's understanding. The Rongguo Mansion is Jia She's mansion, but Jia She planned not to come back for the rest of his life. Xichun said to Daiyu a little stuttering, "Sister, what you said is true."

Daiyu nodded and said, "You don't know what's going on in that house, and I don't know either. The eldest uncle has hidden away. What can you do? I know you want to grow up together. It is also difficult for her to live there. If she Those who seek help will help if they can, and those who cannot help can only hide."

Lin Ruhai clearly told the Lin siblings to stay away from the Rongguo Mansion. Fortunately, since Wang Sifu gave Mrs. Wang's criminal evidence to Jia Mu, Jia Mu never sent someone to pick up Daiyu, and the virtuous and noble relatives did not say to let Daiyu go. Yu, the cousin girl, used to meet her mother, and she usually gave her gifts indifferently, but the virtuous and noble person gave her two rewards, and there would be nothing more.

Xichun lives in the General's Mansion, and knows more about the Rongguo Mansion. Recently, Tanchun's life has not been very easy. Xichun thought of the love she grew up with, and invited her a few times, but Qin Keqing really didn't want to be with her. Mrs. Jia Muwang has a little bit of relationship, but she can't say it out loud, so she begged Daiyu, and Daiyu didn't care to be such a villain.

Xichun fell silent, she was also a boudoir girl in Conghui, and she didn't know about the things the Jia family was involved in. Now that Daiyu suddenly revealed such things, Xichun couldn't accept it, so she fell silent. .

Daiyu didn't say anything, the Rongguo Mansion and the Zhen family got mixed up again, even gods couldn't save her, so what can she do.
