Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Zhou Hang's expectation was right, and Daiyu said that he really paid attention to it.

There are many things that I would not mention to him on weekdays.People are so wonderful, the closer you are to the people you are close to, the less you praise, but when you talk about it to others, it is always good.You may always complain to the person you care about, dislike this or that, but do not allow others to say that he/she is not good at all, it is a strange circle.

Zhou Hang sat down, hoping to hear what they would say next.They didn't want to talk about him in front of him, but they both looked at him and asked about other things.The three had a long talk, and they naturally talked about the battle, the handling of the remnants of Rongguo, and the investigation of the forces behind the masked Taoist.

This matter was discussed in detail when Daiyu and Zhou Hang entered the palace the day before.

Li Zhao also considered the opinions of Daiyu, Zhou Hang, and Li Xu comprehensively before deciding to treat the Rongguo and Gumo royal family members leniently.

Unconfident emperors tend to wipe out their enemies.But where is it so easy?What about killing all the members of the royal family, as well as the loyal followers of the royal family, and the common people?Could they all be killed?Even if you want to kill them all, it is impossible.The final result is often that the grass will not be eradicated, and the spring breeze will regenerate. At that time, they can use the banner of justice to resist the rule of tyranny.

It's better to take another gentle approach and take morality into your own hands.

I treat them kindly, but they still want to make trouble, what else can I say at that time?

What's more, as an emperor of a big country, he must have the bearing of a big country, and adopting a lenient and soft approach is currently more beneficial to the court.

What Li Zhao wants to do is to unify the world, and sooner or later he will clear up the Western Regions and open up the channel between the East and the West.Now he can kill Rong Guo and the Gumo royal family, but it will make the countries in the Western Regions feel ashamed.Needless to say, those who have already belonged to the court, those who have not yet belonged will inevitably increase the difficulty of subduing them in the future.Sometimes what you say is useless. People often only believe what they see with their own eyes. Seeing with their own eyes that Rong Guo and Gu Mo Kingdom lords will inevitably die even if they surrender. If they are out of luck, why don't they fight to the death?

Now Li Zhao not only does not kill the royal family of Rongguo and Gumo, but also treats them kindly. This is the heart of a king of a great country.

As for whether there will be hidden dangers left by those subjugated clans, there is no need to worry.For one thing, they lived in the capital, and it was difficult for them to make any moves under heavy supervision. Thinking of the waves and the wind, how much noise can a group of people whose wings have been cut off and locked in a cage make a fuss?The second thing is, what can we do if we cause chaos, and then there will be more excuses to catch them all, and standing on our side is also the most benevolent and righteous.

If those people are smart, they should let go of their homeland and be an idler in the capital with peace of mind, or they can spend their lives in peace.

If not, any consequences will be their own.

As for the generals of Rongguo and Gumo, many of their abilities are good, but they can be used.

"Father, Princess Cangling has not been captured so far, but it is a hidden danger..." Zhou Hang said suddenly.

After hearing this, Daiyu pursed her lips, and said, "Princess Cangling has colluded with the masked Taoist, she must be with the masked Taoist now, and I don't know what troubles will be caused in the future."

Li Zhaoshen took it for granted, he had already sent more people, and even released the hidden guards to investigate the whereabouts of the masked Taoist, but so far there was no big gain.Those people's deeds are too surreptitious, and they know sorcery, it's not easy for ordinary people to find them.

"Hang'er, you should also pay more attention to whether there is any trace of the demon in the capital. I suspect that this may be related to..."

Speaking of this, he stopped, Zhou Hang asked and refused to say, it was just a conjecture, there is no evidence yet, and he will talk about it later when he finds out.Zhou Hang knew his temperament, and since he said that, he made up his mind not to tell him, and he couldn't ask, so he simply didn't ask.

"I heard that you want to send people to the west?" Li Zhao changed the subject.

Hearing this, Zhou Hang raised his eyebrows, changed his posture, turned his head to look at Li Zhao, and said, "Father, I was about to tell you about this. Do you still remember the firework I showed you?" gun?"

Li Zhao raised his head slightly, his eyes were blurred, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Oh, I remember." Even so, he didn't care about it, thinking that it was just an upgraded version of the blunderbuss, which meant that the firing distance was longer and the damage was lower. It is only stronger, but its accuracy is not as good as that of bows and arrows. It will not improve the combat effectiveness when used on the battlefield.

Zhou Hang obviously saw that he didn't care much, frowned and said: "Father, don't underestimate it. Do you know how far the capital is from France in the west? Even so, there are tens of thousands of miles of land, with grasslands, Gobi, deserts, snow-capped mountains and other extreme terrains in between. It takes at least several years to come here, and not everyone can walk there alive. Two out of ten people It is not easy for three people to get there. The musket I showed you last time spread to the capital, at least it was an old model from the West three or four years ago. Big firearms, if we don't work hard, we will be beaten in the future!"

What he said was very heartbroken, his brows were wrinkled together, and his facial expression was also distorted like Li Zhao had never seen before.Li Zhao couldn't help becoming serious, and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head and sighed slowly: "Back then...your mother said the same..."

"Huh?..." Now it was Zhou Hang's turn to be surprised.What do you mean your mother said that too?What do these words mean?Could it be that her mother also mentioned the musketeer thing back then? Listening to his father's tone, did he not pay attention to it back then or something.

"Maybe..." Li Zhao looked at Zhou Hang, his eyes narrowed, "You are right."

Zhou Hang asked, "What did my mother say?"

Li Zhao thought about it, and seemed unwilling to mention it, but said, "It's almost the same as what you said."

At this time, Wei Xing'an walked over lightly, stood still not far away, stood with his head bowed and did not speak.Li Zhao glanced at him before he bowed and said, "Master Long Live, the Imperial Dining Room sent someone to ask if you want to deliver the meal?"

"Let's pass it on." Then he looked back at Daiyu and Zhou Hang, and ordered them to stay for dinner.

The emperor's imperial meals were naturally very rich, and a large table was filled to the brim, and it was impossible to count how many there were.Daiyu and Zhou Hang sat side by side facing Li Zhao, facing the dazzling array of dishes, not knowing which one to pick for a moment.While hesitating, Zhou Hang picked a small green vegetable and put it in her bowl, looked up at Zhou Hang, who was smiling at her.

Daiyu couldn't help lowering her head, feeling a little embarrassed in front of Li Zhao.

Therefore, instead of eating the green vegetables that Zhou Hang picked up, he picked up an eggplant nearby and chewed it with his mouth pursed.After chewing a few mouthfuls, the pupils involuntarily dilated, and the eyes glowed.The taste of this eggplant is really good, although it is a vegetarian dish, it is very fragrant, it has a strong meaty taste, and it is not greasy, but I don't know how it is made.Originally, she didn't like to eat eggplants. The reason why she picked this up was because it was relatively close to her and it was convenient. She didn't expect it to be a surprise.

"Do you like this?" Zhou Hang, who always put his mind on Daiyu, immediately noticed her emotions.

Daiyu nodded slightly and smiled, which was her tacit consent.

"Father!" Zhou Hang raised his head, and before he could say anything important, he heard Li Zhao say, "Wei Xing'an, go to the imperial dining room to find out which cook made the dish, and send him to the Lin Mansion!"

Well, save him from opening his mouth.

After dinner, Zhou Hang rejected Li Zhao's suggestion to let him stay in the palace, and took Daiyu back to the East Palace Prince's Mansion.Dewey came with six servants carrying a huge cage. The cage was covered with silk cloth. He said it was a ferocious dragon dog sent by Prince Jing.

Zhou Hang knew it was a Tibetan mastiff, and hurriedly ordered people to carry it to his main courtyard.

Putting down the cage, Dewey did not leave, but stood by the side, watching Zhou Hang take off the cover, he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Where does His Royal Highness plan to keep this dragon dog?"

Dewey was a smart guy.

He didn't ask Zhou Hang why he wanted such a ferocious animal. If he likes dogs, there are many well-behaved and good-looking ones, so why not keep them.Although he is in charge of the affairs of the East Palace, he is nothing more than a mere courtier in the final analysis. If the prince has a lack of virtue or makes any improper decisions in official affairs, he may be able to persuade him a few words, but he generally does not interfere in life.What's more, this dog was sent by Prince Jing, and there was no room for him to intervene in the interactions between uncles and nephews.

After hearing this, Zhou Hang said, "Just keep it in this courtyard."

Then Dewey beckoned a thin and tall servant to come forward and told Zhou Hang that it was a slave sent with the dragon dog, named A Wu, who was the owner of the dragon dog.Because a dragon dog will only be loyal to one master throughout its life, when buying a dragon dog, it is often bought with a slave.

Zhou Hang waved his hand, meaning not to call the slave forward.

Talking about asking for the key, he wanted to open the cage. Dewey couldn't help taking a breath, and said, "Your Highness, this beast is vicious. Just now, a boy was feeding it and almost got bitten. It's better not to open the cage." Or let Ah Wu come?"

When he said not to open the cage, he glanced at Zhou Hang, seeing that he seemed to be determined to pay attention to the dragon dog, so he half-compromised and said the latter sentence, not wanting Zhou Hang to ignore it at all.

The key has been inserted into the keyhole, Zhou Hang just glanced back, and then continued with the previous action.

What Zhou Hang thought was also reasonable, he gave this mastiff to Daiyu, its owner can only be himself and Daiyu, how can it be someone else?

Is it as fierce as a tiger?

There will only be one master in the end, right?

He doesn't believe in this evil!

No matter how fierce a creature is in this world, when it encounters a person who is a hundred times stronger than it, it has to submit, unless it doesn't want to live anymore.Thinking about it, regardless of Dewey's obstruction, he turned his hands slightly, the lock was unlocked, and then the cage was also opened. The mastiff was really angry, roared fiercely, opened his mouth and began to bite.Dewey and the attendants were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat. This dog looked like a lion, with fierce eyes that seemed to eat people.

Zhou Hang's reaction was extremely fast, his eyes stared more fiercely than a dog's in an instant, and he clasped the upper and lower jaws of the mastiff with both hands, pushing up and down.This method is useful against all kinds of ferocious beasts such as dogs and wolves, as long as the strength is strong enough to prevent them from biting.

Zhou Hang exerted so much strength that the mastiff howled in pain.

Zhou Hang stared at the mastiff's eyes, and watched its eyes change from fierceness to fear and then to submission, and it took less than a quarter of an hour.After making sure that the big dog didn't dare to provoke him again, he slowly let go of his hand.

During this period, Dewey had asked several guards to help restrain the mastiff, but Zhou Hang refused.

The mastiff's upper and lower jaws were almost dislocated. As soon as it was free, it immediately shrank back to the innermost part of the cage, shrank slightly, took a peek at Zhou Hang, and immediately moved away, showing a look of fear, because its mouth could not be closed for a while. Still half-open, a painful sound came from his throat.

It almost huddled itself into a ball, motionless.

Knowing that the mastiff had been subdued by him, Zhou Hang briskly raised the corners of his mouth, took a handkerchief from Koizumi, and wiped off the mastiff's saliva left on his hands.He looked at Daiyu, and then at the lion-like Tibetan mastiff, regretting that he hadn't made it clear to Sang Sheng that he should be asked to find a milk dog, so that Daiyu would only recognize her as its owner when it grew up.

Alas, mistakes, mistakes...

Now that he has subdued the mastiff, it has recognized him as its master, but I don't know if it recognizes Daiyu.

When he was struggling, Daiyu quietly stepped forward, reached out and stroked the mastiff's head.Although the bulldog immediately shrank back and stared at Daiyu vigilantly, it did not resist much. After Daiyu ordered Xiaoquanzi to pour a bowl of cold boiled water for it to drink, of course a small amount of Lingquan was added to the water. , the mastiff's eyes became docile, its body stopped shaking, and it leaned against Daiyu's legs, snuggled up to her, and even allowed Daiyu to pull the long mane on his neck.

This is really discriminatory treatment, Zhou Hang secretly thought.

Maybe Daiyu has a natural affinity, and the tigers and leopards she meets in the wild also look docile when they see her.It was better this way, and he was worried that the mastiff would not obey her.

Dewey and others looked at Daiyu with the eyes of a national teacher who really had supernatural powers, and complimented her a lot.

After a while, Dewey saw that the bulldog had been tamed, and there was nothing wrong with it. Zhou Hang looked at him from time to time, as if he thought he was superfluous, so he understood it and took everyone away.

Zhou Hang directly lifted the mastiff by the neck and carried the dog into the house. The cage was ordered to be removed, so it will not be used anymore.Daiyu was very fond of the mastiff, and grabbed its two front hooves and let it lie on her lap.Seeing this kind of scene with his eyes, Zhou Hang was already jealous in his heart, but he couldn't explain it clearly.He walked over slowly, thinking about something while walking, walked up to Daiyu and sat down, saying: "This beast is very heavy, don't let her lie on top of you."

Daiyu heard the meaning behind his words, and thought he was afraid of being tired, so she said cheerfully: "It's okay, it didn't put all its strength on me."

Zhou Hang spit out a liter of blood silently, managed to adjust his emotions, and heard Daiyu excitedly say that he wanted to give the mastiff a name, and asked him what his name should be. , could not help but become more and more jealous.

Apart from the two of them, there was only Koizumi in the room, so Zhou Hang simply kicked Koizumi out, intending to have a good talk with Daiyu, to consolidate the relationship, improve his status by the way, and make Daiyu realize that he is the one who is the companion She walks a lifetime of people.

Just as he was thinking about how to start, Daiyu suddenly looked at him with two black grape-like eyeballs.

"Brother Hang, what do you think...it's called Sa Hei? You see, its legs are very thick, and it must run as fast as the wind and lightning, and it's all black, so it's perfect." Before Zhou Hang could answer, She made a decision and said: "That's it, it's called Sa Hei!"

As she spoke, she patted the mastiff on the head, letting it look at her, and said seriously: "You will be called Sa Hei from now on!"

"Sahei!" she called out.

The mastiff just stared at her without moving his eyes, as if he hadn't gotten used to his new name yet.

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's okay, you will know in the future, I will teach you slowly."

Zhou Hang: "..."

Is his presence already that low? !I knew it was a mistake to get a mastiff for Daiyu, but he still did it. Not only did he do it, but he did it so actively. This is really shooting himself in the foot.

The same is true of Sang Sheng, does the work efficiency need to be so high!

That night Daiyu refused to stay in the Prince's Mansion, but took the mastiff back to her home - Lin's Mansion.Zhou Hang stalked and followed, of course not in human body, but in the form of a brown kitten.As for the mastiff, Daiyu didn't bring it directly, but put it in the space.

Although there are many people who have seen mastiffs, there are quite a few in the East Palace alone, but the sudden disappearance is easy to explain.

After all, it disappeared with the national teacher, right? At that time, Zhou Hang can directly tell others that the national teacher went wandering with the mastiff, who can say anything?

Before Daiyu left Beijing, she had already arranged everything at home, and only a few maidservants knew that she was not in the mansion.She didn't walk back ostentatiously, but went back to her small courtyard with the brown kitten in her arms after disappearing. It wasn't until the dead of night and after everyone had fallen asleep that Daiyu woke up Hui'er who was sleeping outside.

Before Daiyu left Beijing, she ordered Hui'er to sleep outside her bedroom when she was not around, to cover up for others and cover up for her.

Hui'er did her best, every day carefully pretending that Daiyu was sick in bed, begging for food and water, and often took out the clothes she had worn and ordered the little girls to wash them.Little did they know that Huier ate most of the food and tea by herself, and when she couldn't eat any more, she hid them in her sleeves and poured them out in the garden secretly. The appearance does not make people suspicious.

In addition to her, there is also a snow goose who knows.

Although Xueyan is not as careful as Huier, she is also conscientious and working hard these days.

These two maids did a good job, and Daiyu planned to reward them in return.

Thinking of rewards, he suddenly realized that he was also a person with status and wealth.The Holy Majesty, Jinkou imperially appointed her as a national teacher, and she was better than a prince, and she had a food town of two thousand households, which was equivalent to two princes.By the way, there are still 1000 taels of gold, one tael of gold and ten taels of silver, converted into silver is 1 taels.In addition, there are many treasures and rare things, which are piled up in the space now. Among them is a set of twelve zodiac signs carved in emerald jade. I thought about taking a jade rabbit and a jade tiger at random, and handing the tiger to Huier, because she is a tiger.

But Hui'er refused to accept it very much, Daiyu said with a serious face: "This is my reward for you, the master's reward is not allowed to refuse, this is the rule."

Huier then continued, knelt down and thanked Grace.

Daiyu helped her up and asked, "Is Xueyan asleep?"

Hui'er said: "She stayed up most of the night yesterday, so I let her go to bed early today. I never thought that the girl would come back today, so this servant will tell her to go."

Daiyu held her back and said, "Let her sleep, don't need to cry." Handing the jade rabbit to Hui'er, she said, "This is for Xueyan, you can leave it to her tomorrow. I'm a little tired now, too. Let's go to bed first, you don't have to watch outside, go back to your own room and sleep."

Hui'er said "Yes!", took Yutu and left.

Daiyu carried the little brown cat into the inner room, tilted on the bed, patted the little cat on the back and said, "You said you would send me home and go back. I should go now."

The kitten flicked its tail and didn't respond as if it didn't hear it.

Daiyu straightened her face and said, "Don't pretend you didn't hear, go back quickly, I'll be angry if you do this again."

Zhou Hang made a fuss for a while before leaving.Back in the East Palace, lying on the bed, he sighed when he saw a few shadows in the dark, and thought to himself, tomorrow I really have to tell the emperor Lao Tzu about canceling the hidden guards. He is stared at by a few people every day. It won't reveal your privacy, but it's too inconvenient.

So he entered the palace the next day and made it clear with a firm attitude that he didn't need the protection of the hidden guards. After exhausting his efforts, he finally got his emperor Lao Tzu to agree to withdraw the hidden guards.

Standing on the long ridge, Zhou Hang let out a long breath, and finally felt relaxed all over his body.

The news that the national teacher Yunyou didn't know what to do caused a shock in the capital.However, two days later, the hot discussion gradually subsided, and another matter was already discussed in the boudoir circle.

"Have you heard that the girl from Linge's hometown has been ill for more than two months, and I heard that she woke up these days..."

"The girl from Linge's hometown, isn't that it?"

"Yes, she is the future crown prince and concubine appointed by the Holy Majesty!"

As they spoke, everyone sighed, lamented, and envied.

"I heard that the girl was born beautiful and beautiful." Someone said something.

One person said: "It is indeed a very good life. My family has some contacts with the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion. I once took a look at their old lady's birthday banquet from a distance. Tsk tsk, I have never seen such a beautiful girl. At that time She is only eleven or twelve years old, now that two or three years have passed, I'm afraid she will be even better!"

At this time, I don't know who answered the sentence: "So what if the beauty of the country is beautiful, but he is just a sick child..."

Then everyone tended to lower their voices and say: "It's a pity for the young and promising Crown Prince, who is so wise and powerful. But you want to marry a sick young man who is dying soon..." Then he sighed a few words about what a pity.

At this time, most people will say: "With her body, it is not certain whether she can live to be a princess..."

Of course, Daiyu didn't know about these remarks, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.The mouth grows on other people, no matter how powerful she is, she can't control what others say. Could it be that she can't shut up the mouths of those who gossip behind their backs?Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the mouth of the people is better than the mouth of the river. If they don't say it, they can ruin you even more in their hearts.

The best way to deal with such a person is to ignore her. If it is really annoying, teach her a lesson and let her know how powerful she is.

When Jia's mansion heard that Daiyu had recovered from her illness, they sent three groups of people to invite her to visit in two days.

Daiyu had already heard from Huier and Xueyan that during the two months of "recovering from illness and thanking guests", Jia's mansion often sent people to see the doctor from time to time, among which the eldest wife sent people to come several times, After being told by the doctor that Daiyu was weak and could not go out of the house or see people for two months, he no longer asked to see Daiyu. Every time he sent someone to deliver some supplements to express his concern; the old lady and the second wife Even though he was told the same thing, every time the visitor asked to see Daiyu, he was cleverly dismissed by the servants of Lin's residence.

Daiyu would also like to see her elder aunt and elder sister Qiao, but if she only goes to the long room, it will not look like it to outsiders. After all, her grandmother lives in the second room, so she has to go there too.

As it happened to be the Laba Festival, the affairs of the mansion were very busy, so Daiyu planned to bring up the matter of visiting Jia's mansion in the past few days.Visiting relatives and friends is not just a whim, you need to pick an auspicious day, otherwise the other party will blame you.Especially if something bad happens to the other party's family, it is inevitable to suspect this matter.

On this day, Daiyu took out a lot of grains in the space and ordered the kitchen to cook Laba porridge. She boiled several pots of thick soup and gave them to Zhou Hang, Li Zhao, Li Xu, Jia She and others as usual, and kept a lot for herself.Then there was still a lot left, so she ordered people to divide it into two parts, one for Yingchun and one for Zheng Lihua.

According to Huier, in the past two months, Zheng Lihua also sent people to inquire about her condition from time to time.She also made friends with a few ladies in the capital, but Zheng Lihua was the only one who really cared about her and treated her as a girlfriend.

On the second day after receiving the Laba porridge, that is, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zheng Lihua came to thank her in person.

She was wrapped in a thick gorilla felt cloak, and she held a snow-white kitten in her arms. When she saw Daiyu, she couldn't hide the excitement on her face. She strode over and saluted Daiyu, then grabbed Daiyu Yu's hand, asking her about her health, asking her what disease she has, is it all gone, is she still taking medicine now, is there any discomfort and so on.

Since coming to the capital, her mother paid more and more attention to her upbringing, and spent a lot of money to hire maids released from the palace to teach her etiquette.Therefore, Zheng Lihua has made great progress in the past two years. Although her temperament is still bold and simple, her actions are more appropriate and her etiquette is more considerate.

It's been a long time since I saw an old friend, but I don't feel the slightest strangeness.

Daiyu turned around with a smile and said, "It's all over, look!"

Zheng Lihua said: "You scared me to death. I thought you had such a serious illness that you couldn't even see people."

Daiyu smiled and ordered the girl to serve tea, thinking that if she told her that she had a serious illness, but now she was alive and kicking, she didn't look like it, how can she look so good after a serious illness.Therefore, it's better to tell a lie to fool the past, this little girl Zheng Lihua doesn't have so many twists and turns in her mind, and she doesn't know how to ask the bottom line.

So he smiled and said, "It's not a serious illness, it's just a headache. But an expert made a divination for me two months ago, saying that I will have a bloody disaster in the next two months. If you want to solve it, you have to get it." You are not allowed to leave the house for two months, and you are not allowed to see a single outsider, otherwise the gods and ghosts will be hard to save. You say, I can’t tell others that I can’t go out and see people because of the bloody disaster. It’s not good to say it. , so I have no choice but to say that a minor illness is a serious illness, but it's just a fool."

"I said!" Zheng Lihua laughed, "I see that you are usually in good health. How could you have such a serious illness for no reason? It turned out to be fake. It made me worry for a long time. I just heard about it. At that time, my eyes were red from crying, and when I met you, your servants did not allow me to see you."

Daiyu laughed and said, "It's no wonder they are doing it for my own good."

Daiyu thought that Zheng Lihua would complain for a while.She didn't want to, but she suddenly raised her face to look at herself, showing a big smile, and said happily: "Sister, it's good that you are fine, I'm so happy!"

As he spoke, he hugged the cat in his arms tightly, and rubbed its snow-white head with his hands, with a look of love.

"So happy?" Daiyu asked.

Zheng Lihua nodded heavily, "Of course I am happy, sister, you are not sick, there is no better news than this."

Daiyu smiled and looked at the cat in her arms.The snow-white cat was bred to be fat and strong, with small and delicate ears that trembled. The hair was pure white and was combed very softly. It was obvious that Zheng Lihua took care of it very carefully.When she gave this kitten to this little girl, she was always worried that her careless temperament would not take care of it well, but now it seems that she was too worried.

Seeing Daiyu staring at the cat, Zheng Lihua suddenly raised the cat in her hand and said, "Every time I miss my sister, I just look at it and talk to it. It seems to be quite sensible and will bark at me. .It also hopes that her sister's illness will recover soon."

At this time, Hui'er had brought in two little girls carrying food boxes, and Daiyu asked what it was.

Huier replied: "It's the dim sum just brought by the kitchen."

Daiyu placed her order on the table and called Zheng Lihua to come and eat.

The dim sum chefs in the Lin Mansion are the royal chefs sent by Zhou Hang. The dim sum they make not only look good but also taste better. Every time Zheng Lihua comes here, she eats a lot, and sometimes she brings a box with her when she leaves.During Daiyu's absence for more than two months, she was not allowed to eat the good cakes, and she had already thought about it.Before Hui'er opened the box, she smelled the sweet smell from far away, and couldn't stop her index finger from moving wildly.Although she has a bold personality, her mother raised her according to the standards of a lady since she was a child, and she knows the rules.In addition, in the past two years, she has learned etiquette with people who came out of the palace, and she has become more thoughtful. When she is a guest in Lin's mansion, even if it is something she wants to eat again, if the master doesn't invite her to eat, she can't ask directly.

No, as soon as Daiyu greeted her, she happily passed by, picked up a piece of rose cake, and solved it gracefully and quickly.

After eating and drinking enough, Daiyu ordered Huier to bring all kinds of snacks back to her in a box.

Naturally, Zheng Lihua thanked Daiyu a thousand times, and then chatted, unavoidably anticipating the capital's comments and comments on Daiyu.

When it came to this, she was a little aggrieved: "Those people don't know my sister at all, and they talk behind her back, saying that my sister is not in good health, that she takes medicine when she can eat, and that she is sick or something. It doesn't sound good. Hmph, they are just jealous of their elder sister. Her elder sister's father is the elder of the pavilion, and she was married to His Highness the Crown Prince by the current emperor. But they can only marry a son of an aristocratic family. They will try their best all their lives to win an imperial title. Not necessarily, seeing how easy it is for my sister to achieve such wealth that they never even dared to imagine, naturally I feel uncomfortable."

"You girl, when did you think so much!"

As he said that, he mentioned the phrase about taking medicine when he thought of the meeting, when he first entered Jia's mansion, but it was also a self-effacing statement, and the people in Jia's mansion seemed to take it seriously.When she lived in Jia's mansion, she heard the low-key discussions from the girls.I remember that time when she went to pay her respects to her second aunt, she heard two little maids discussing in the corner when she passed by a corner, and there was such a sentence among them.At that time, she didn't know what they were talking about and how she mentioned herself, but she thought that they were the maids of the second aunt, and maybe the second aunt also said that about her on weekdays, so the servants followed suit.

At that time, she was very sad in her heart, and she left without going to pay her respects.

Now think about it, why bother?It's just getting mad at your body.Who are they? They don't like themselves, and they don't even look down on them.Living in this world, the most important thing is to be carefree and happy. For those who don't like it, just treat them as a dog or a bug, so why bother!

But it was so simple, but I couldn't understand it at the time, and my heart was broken in vain, and my body was also dragged down.

Zheng Lihua smiled, pouted and said: "I just can't understand how they are jealous and jealous, and they still slander like this. Sister is so good, and they deserve it? They have the ability to reincarnate themselves."

Daiyu said generously: "Let's go with what they say, as long as you don't hear it in my ears, I will ignore it. If anyone dares to say in front of me that there is something and nothing, I will not be easy to bully! "

"In front of my sister, how dare they!" Zheng Lihua said pinching her waist, her voice was a little louder than before, "If it's really in front of my sister, those who gossip behind their backs will have to lower their eyebrows and be pleasing to the eye. Kissing?!"

When she made a loud voice, the cat in her arms trembled as if frightened, and then let out a cry.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Don't hold the cat, let Huier take it away and play with my white cat. They may not have seen each other for a long time."

Naturally, Zheng Lihua didn't refuse, and hurriedly handed the cat in her hand to Huier.She had just picked up a handful of melon seeds to eat, and she was holding a melon seed to her lips, when she suddenly thought of something, she withdrew her hand and looked at Daiyu, "Why don't you see your black cat?"

Black cats are fish balls.

Daiyu also grabbed a handful of melon seeds with a smile, and said with a smile: "It, I don't know where it has gone all day, and sometimes I can't find it. But don't worry about it, it knows the way, and when it wants to come back Come back naturally."

Zheng Lihua let out an "oh" and started eating melon seeds.

Then Zheng Lihua told Daiyu the anecdotes that happened in the capital in the past two months, most of them were in the boudoir, such as whose girl got old, whose girl made a big joke at the banquet, whose girl was raped by someone Seeing the domineering and vicious look.She was not from a noble family in Beijing, and she didn't have many contacts in the capital, and most of her contacts were the daughters of poor officials of the fourth and fifth ranks, so she didn't know much about the secrets of the Beijing family.What she said was just hearsay, and it was far from the truth when it was passed to her ears and processed by many people.

Dai Yuquan listened to it as a story, and found it interesting.

The two talked about Yingchun again, and Zheng Lihua said that she went to Yingchun Mansion to see her half a month ago. She was a little fatter than before, and the child was chubby and cute, and asked about Daiyu.

"I know you've recovered from your illness, I'm afraid she will come to see you too!" Zheng Lihua laughed.

"It's not a good time for her to come. I haven't seen my cousin Yingchun for quite a while."

Zheng Lihua left after lunch, and Daiyu ordered Huier to see her off, but Huier did her duty and sent her to the Chuhua Gate before returning to Daiyu.At that time, Daiyu was peeling walnuts with Xueyan and two little girls, so she was ordered to peel walnuts together, and after a while they peeled a big bowl.Daiyu ordered to take it to the kitchen and let the cook make amber walnuts.

Knowing that her girls have the habit of taking a nap, the maids retreated after talking for a while, so as not to disturb Daiyu.

Daiyu just wanted to be alone, so naturally she was very happy.

When she was the only one left in the room, she got up and went to the inner room, got on the bed, but did not lie down to sleep, but sat cross-legged in meditation.After going through a battle, and having tried the taste of defeat under the masked demon, her attitude towards cultivation is quite different from before.In the past, it was just a dispensable homework. I thought it would be good to cultivate my body and improve my physique. I didn't have a particularly strong desire to become stronger.Going out this time let her know that there are people beyond human beings, and that although she has never seen anyone more powerful than a masked monster in the world, it doesn't mean that there are none.I don't know if the other party is an enemy or a friend. What if they meet one day and are still hostile?

If you want to make yourself invincible, the first thing is to strengthen yourself.

Both she and Zhou Hang realized this.

Therefore, as long as they have time recently, they will hurry up and practice.

This is not only for yourself, but also for each other, for all those who care and care.

Running cross-legged with true qi, I slowly felt a heat flow through the tendons and veins of the whole body. After continuous combing and guidance, the heat flow slowly gathered in the dantian.Daiyu's mind gradually emptied, and then a very comfortable feeling swept over her body, and her whole body became erratic.Gradually, she felt that she had turned into a puff of green smoke, and the green smoke gradually dissipated, and she seemed to shrink smaller and smaller, so small that she almost became a speck of dust.

The perception is magnified, she can feel that her breathing is getting thinner and thinner, and her soul seems to have left her body to roam the world.

This feeling was a bit awkward at first, but later on it was very comfortable...
