Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

The two talked a lot again, involving everything.Daiyu also likes to hear Zhou Hang talk about those great rivers, seas, deserts and plateaus, as if she had seen them with her own eyes.Zhou Hang asked Lin Daiyu: "Do you want to be confined in the inner house for the rest of your life, or go out and have a look?"

"Look at what?"

"Anything is fine, big rivers, mountains and seas, as long as you think, you can live a free and unrestrained life."

Daiyu lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.Hearing Zhou Hang say a lot, her vision is different from that of ordinary boudoir girls, if she doesn't know the outside world, it's fine, the boudoir is a small space, and it's a lifetime.But she just let her know, how could she still want to be confined in the inner house for the rest of her life?

She didn't want to, but showing her face in public didn't match the upbringing she received as a lady...

After struggling for a long time, Daiyu thought about it, but she still didn't want to say anything against her will in front of Zhou Hang.

Pursing her lips, she said, "Of course I'm going out, but..."

Zhou Hang interrupted her next words: "There is nothing wrong with it, as long as you want it, I will help you realize it."

They have all cultivated themselves, and in the future years of freedom and unlimited freedom, don't they still abide by the rules of the secular world?

It's just that Daiyu didn't think so far.

She bit her lip, as if she was in some kind of deep thought. After a long time, she said in a low voice: "Thank you, Brother Hang..." Thank you for telling me these things, thank you for being able to truly understand me, to truly walk into the In my heart, I care about what I yearn for and what I love; thank you for letting me know that the world is so dazzling, and there are countless possibilities in life.

In this world, I am afraid that no man dares to ask, or is willing to ask a girl such a question.They all point out the road, draw rules and regulations for women to walk, and they are not allowed to exceed the rules, otherwise they will not accept women's virtues.Most of the men are selfish, they mess around with flowers and grass outside, and they are free and easy outside, but they hope that women will abide by women's morals in the square inch of the inner house, and they are not even allowed to yearn and think about the outside world.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Daiyu is so lucky...

A few days later, the imperial edict was issued to the Lin family.Because of Lin Ruhai's meritorious service in escorting the salt class's silver and suppressing the salt owls, the imperial decree praised him a lot and rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver and jewels.

These are nothing.

The most important thing is that Lin Ruhai was appointed as the prince's young teacher, the second rank, working in the East Palace, responsible for teaching the prince.

According to the ancient rules, there should be three masters and three young masters in the East Palace to support and teach the prince, the prince's grand master teaches literature, the prince's grand master teaches martial arts, and the prince's grand protector protects him. All three masters are of the first rank.

Prince Shaoshi, Prince Shaofu, and Prince Shaobao are all their deputies, and they are the second rank.

However, since ancient times, the Three Masters of the Eastern Palace and the Three Masters of the imperial court have always been empty because of their extremely valuable status.Even the awarding of officials is mostly posthumous gifts for civil and military officials who have made great contributions to the imperial court.So the third young master is actually the highest official in the East Palace, and now the third young master only has the post of junior teacher, that is to say, the emperor wants to hand over the crown prince to Lin Ruhai to teach. ,

This is the future Emperor Teacher, both honorable and honorable...

This is just the beginning, depending on the emperor's attitude, it is estimated that Lin Ruhai will soon be able to enter the cabinet and participate in the maintenance.

There was an uproar in the court. It was strange why the Holy Majesty recalled Lin Ruhai in a hurry, but he was idle for a month or two without conferring an official position. Now everything is clear.The Holy Majesty had already made up his mind, first to recognize his son and make him the crown prince, and then to make arrangements for Lin Ruhai, and he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

The Lin residence was busy with traffic at the moment, very lively.

Lin Ruhai entertained guests every day, and was so busy that he was dizzy. In the end, he had to say he was sick and thank the guests behind closed doors, so he had a few days of leisure.

Mother Jia sent Nanny Lai, who was by her side, to bring Daiyu to live there with some first-class servants and maidservants, but Daiyu declined politely on the grounds that she couldn't get away from the complicated family affairs.Unexpectedly, a few days later, Mrs. Wang brought her grandma, Li Wan, Jia Zhu's wife, to pick her up.Although Daiyu didn't like this so-called second aunt very much in her heart, she didn't want to slap the smiling face, so she had to treat her well.In the end, of course, Wang did not succeed.

When seeing off the guests, Daiyu saw that Li Wan followed Wang with red eye circles and lowered her head, she seemed a little scared.I couldn't help but sighed lowly, this is also a hard life.Wang is used to domineering, and the eldest grandma has been trained by her a lot.Now that Wang's life is not going well, Grandma's life must be even more difficult.

However, she can't take care of other people's affairs, so I just hope that grandma can be tougher.

The Xing family also came here twice with Yingchun, and gave Daiyu a lot of exquisite food, as well as embroidered clothes.

Once Xichun also followed, and Daiyu was very happy to see the two sisters, and took out the fruits in the space to entertain them.These fruits were all stored when Zhou Hang was here, and they have been chilled in the ice room. Although they have been stored for a few days, they still look fresh.

Several people had never eaten such a sweet and delicious fruit, and praised it endlessly.

Before leaving, Daiyu brought them a basket, including oranges, grapes, apples, persimmons and so on.I didn't dare to bring them lychees, cherries, etc. After all, those fruits are not what should be available in late autumn, and others would be puzzled if they were brought out.

Mrs. Xing also said to pick up Daiyu's words, but she didn't want to think about some old lady like Mrs. Wang who can't sleep at night because she thinks about you, and her spirit is not good. It made people feel panicked.

Mrs. Xing just said: "My niece, one day I will go to our house to play for a while when I am free, and your eldest aunt will let the maids sweep the path to welcome you."

Listen, this word is much more pleasing to the ear.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely go when I am free."

Zheng Lihua's father's acceptance of fate has also come down, and Honglu Temple's prime minister, the fifth rank, is slightly promoted compared to the original sixth rank Tongzhi.Honglu Temple is in charge of ceremonies, sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, sutra banquets, canonization, calendar, spring, inheritance, victory and other matters, whether it is important or not is not important.But as long as you do well, you can still get ahead.After all, they were working under the eyes of the emperor. If the banquet was well arranged and His Majesty the Emperor was happy, the officials of Honglu Temple who presided over the banquet would have the possibility of rising to the top.

The Zheng family was very happy, not only because of Zheng Yundi's promotion, but also because he was able to stay in the capital.

Zheng Lihua's two older brothers are not too young. The older one has already passed the examination of scholar, and the younger one is also studying. The schools in the capital are well-known throughout the country. The two of them can enter the school here, firstly because they can get advice from famous teachers, and secondly Being able to make friends with some powerful children will naturally be beneficial for future official careers.

Because of this, Zheng Yundi tried everything possible to stay in the capital.

To celebrate Zheng Yundi's promotion, the Zheng family invited a small theater troupe and held a small banquet.After receiving the invitation from Zheng Lihua, Daiyu also went with a few maidservants.The Zheng family bought a small yard with three entrances. Although it is not big, it is neatly tidied up, especially the chrysanthemums in the first yard are well taken care of, which is refreshing.

Mrs. Zheng said that the chrysanthemums were taken care of by the former owner. They are also a century-old family. Because the family has fallen and their children have withered, now there is only a pair of old couples who are over sixty years old, with a seven or eight-year-old grandson and several elders. Servants lived.Due to the difficulty of making a living, he had to sell his house in the capital and return to his hometown.

The old master is a very interesting old scholar, he usually likes chrysanthemums, and he was very reluctant to leave the chrysanthemums raised in this yard.It's a pity that with so many things, you can't take them with you. If you can take them away, the journey will be tiring, and the flowers will wither, and it will be ruined. It's better to stay here.

Mrs. Zheng took pity on him for cherishing flowers, so she gave him an extra 300 taels of silver.

Daiyu said: "It's hard to buy a sincere heart with a thousand gold coins, and this silver painting is worth it."

Looking at only one courtyard, Daiyu felt that 3000 taels would be enough.

Led by Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Lihua into the inner garden, I saw seven or eight large square tables placed by a small pond, and scattered women and girls sitting there.Zheng Yundi's official position is low, so the people he makes friends with are naturally small officials of the fifth or sixth rank.Although the ladies who came today are dressed in brightly colored and solemn clothes, judging from the fabrics, they are the ones that can be bought in the market, unlike the nobles of the big families, who always wear official materials when they go out.

After Mrs. Zheng's grand introduction, everyone came forward to say hello. Everyone looked at Lin Daiyu with eager eyes, and their eager eyeballs glistened, as if seeing gold and silver mountains or delicacies from mountains and seas.

After socializing with them for a while, although Daiyu still had a smile like a spring breeze on her face, those who knew her well knew that this smile didn't go deep into her heart at all, and didn't even penetrate her skin.Zheng Lihua took Daiyu and ran away quickly, into her own small courtyard.

Zheng Lihua's small courtyard is much smaller than Daiyu's, and it also has a few stalks of bamboo planted, but it is very delicately tidied up.

Zheng Lihua said: "The original owner planted the bamboo, and there is a small warehouse here."

As he spoke, he led Daiyu into the storeroom, where there were many miscellaneous things.Zheng Lihua left Yangzhou to send Daiyu off, and afterward Daiyu tidied up and brought back all those little gadgets, neatly placed on a long table, which shows that Zheng Lihua attached great importance to it.

After seeing the warehouse, the two went into the inner room hand in hand, Zheng Lihua ordered the maids to cook tea and serve them, and also ordered to bring out the most delicious snacks.

After eating snacks and drinking tea, it has been a while, Daiyu said: "You just left, do you think you are neglecting the guests?"

Zheng Lihua said: "It's okay, my mother is here."

Daiyu said, "You should also learn how to treat guests."

Zheng Lihua slumped on the chair: "Please, Sister Lin, don't tell me these things, I am the most impatient. My mother is nagging in my ears every day, and I am already very annoying. Learning how to treat guests is not a must." If it doesn't work today, I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time, and I just want to get close to you today, and I don't care about other things. Sister Lin, you have also seen the way those people look at you, as if they want to eat you alive. You came to my house as a guest, not to show them around!"

Daiyu smiled and twisted her cheeks, "You girl! You're not stupid, you're just lazy, too lazy to deal with people, too lazy to use your brain!"

Zheng Lihua laughed, "Sister Lin also knows me." After she finished speaking, she laughed again, and added, "It's not like my mother and two older brothers who know every day that I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid. .”

"You are not stupid, but sometimes, laziness is more hateful than stupid."

Daiyu felt a little entangled in mourning her misfortune and angering her indisputable.

Zheng Lihua stuck out her tongue: "Good sister, don't be angry, can't I work harder in the future?"

"The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. I see you, it will be like this for the rest of your life."

Because she was already very familiar with her, Daiyu didn't beat around the bush when she spoke.She still has the idea of ​​provoking Zheng Lihua, hoping that such direct and merciless words can stimulate the motivation buried deep in her heart.

The two stayed in the inner room to talk, and after they finished talking, they played chess again, knowing that Mrs. Zheng sent someone to invite them, saying that the banquet was over.

Lin Daiyu was arranged to sit at the main seat, with Mrs. Zheng on her left and Zheng Lihua on her right.It is the upbringing of every lady since she was a child to eat without talking and sleep without talking, so no one at the dinner table spoke.After finishing the meal, Daiyu said that she was busy with family affairs and could not stay for a long time, so she took the maids and left. Mrs. Zheng took Zheng Lihua and a few maids to the door.

As soon as he entered the mansion and rested in his small courtyard, he received a Q-version villain sent by Zhou Hang.
