Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Winter is coming gradually, entering November, the weather is getting colder and colder.Standing in the yard and looking out, the trees are bare, the sky is not as blue as in summer, not even the chirping birds are seen, it is a desolate scene.

All the people, old and young, were wrapped in winter clothes and hurried along.

The north wind blew all night, and fine snowflakes floated the next day.

Zheng Lihua walked in wrapped in a gorilla felt cloak surrounded by girls.Unexpectedly, it was snowing heavily and this little girl would be rain or shine, so the girls in the Lin Mansion hurriedly invited her in.After entering the house, Daiyu hurriedly ordered the servant girl to take off her wet clothes, and found a warm padded jacket that had been smoked next to the smoker cage and put it on for her.

Cui Er, Zheng Lihua's personal servant girl, her face was purple from cold and her nose was red, she was trembling all over, Dai Yu hurriedly said: "Zicuckoo, Hui Er, who of you has clean clothes, quickly find one , put Tweety on, and take her to the stove to keep warm."

Zijuan said with a smile: "My jacket is only hot, and it fits Cuier just right."

After saying that, he dragged Tweety into the West Wing to change clothes.

Only then did Daiyu look at Zheng Lihua, with a slightly reproachful tone: "It's snowing, and you came here too, what should I do if I'm freezing?"

Zheng Lihua raised her head and smiled indifferently, "I promised to come to see Sister Lin today, so I can't break my word."

Daiyu said: "It also depends on the situation. On a day like this, you shouldn't go out. You can send someone to say no, and I can blame you?"

"That's impossible! I'm still thinking about Sister Lin's good tea."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Then you wait, I'll make tea for you." While speaking, Hui'er led two little girls to set up a small stove, and sat on it with a pot of water.Daiyu pulled Zheng Lihua to sit down in front of the stove, chatting and waiting for the water to boil.

The two talked all over the place, and they couldn't help but mention Jiangnan. Zheng Lihua said that everything in the capital is good, but the weather is a bit dry, especially in winter, when the wind blows on the face, it is worse than a knife. Li, her face is chapped.

As she said that, she looked at Daiyu curiously: "Sister Lin, why is your skin still so good, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's as smooth as snow?" While Daiyu was not paying attention, she took advantage of the situation to touch her face. When I touched it, "It feels tender and smooth, like a good grease has just been applied, but it doesn't look greasy at all."

Daiyu feigned anger and said, "If you try again, I will get angry!"

Zheng Lihua hurriedly said: "Sister Lin, I was wrong, don't be angry with me."

After speaking, he looked at Daiyu pitifully with a puffy face.

Daiyu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zheng Lihua became bold now, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, Sister Lin won't be angry when she smiles."

Daiyu lost her temper by her, and was about to say a few more words to her, when the small blast stove made a whistling sound, it turned out that the water was boiling.Daiyu didn't need the girls to do it, she carried the stove by herself, washed her hands and cooked tea.

The room was filled with the fragrance of tea, and Zheng Li narrowed her eyes beautifully.Before Daiyu handed the tea bowl to her, she couldn't wait to snatch a bowl in her hand, squinted her eyes and smelled it, took a small sip, and only thought of admiring it after drinking it.Daiyu refills her another cup, saying: "Tea, one cup is good, two cups is a fool to quench thirst, three cups is like drinking cows and horses. After eating this cup, you are not allowed to eat any more!"

Zheng Lihua pursed her lips, and muttered reluctantly: "Sister Lin, could it be that she is reluctant to part with this good tea?"

Daiyu laughed: "What good things do you want? I'll bring you two cans when I go back."

Zheng Lihua clapped her hands with joy and said a lot of grateful words.

The topics of little girls are always inseparable from skin, appearance, dress and so on.Zheng Lihua also said that she was not used to the climate in the north, and she bought the best rouge cream, but it didn't work, and the skin on her face was still dry and darker than before.Daiyu gave her some homemade cosmetics and creams that she had nothing to do with her, because many of them were made of flowers in the space, which were much better than those bought outside.

Zheng Lihua cleansed her face immediately and tried to use it, and the effect was really extraordinary, she was overjoyed.

Zheng Lihua had lunch at the Lin Mansion and waited until the snow stopped in the middle of the afternoon before leaving.Before leaving, she told Daiyu the latest news she had heard, that Gao Pengfei, the prefect of Yangzhou, was coming to Beijing.This trip has two purposes, one is to report on work, and the other is to send my daughter to get married.

It is not surprising that officials have to report on their duties after serving for three years. Daiyu's attention fell on the word "marriage".

"Gao Yurou?" she asked.

Zheng Lihua nodded, "Who else is there besides her?"

"Who did you hear?"

"My father said that an old friend of my father's ex-son came from Yangzhou, and the news he brought is known to everyone in Yangzhou."

It seems to be true, Daiyu secretly thought, but she is not familiar with Gao Yurou, so this matter has nothing to do with her.

Zheng Lihua had just left for a while when Lin Ruhai walked into the gate of the courtyard stepping on the scattered jade.Daiyu was wrapping up a fox fur cloak sent by Zhou Hang, with a small scarf around her neck, and was playing with the girls in the yard making snowmen.Lin Ruhai came in alone, and specially ordered the maids who opened the door to keep quiet, so no one knew about it.

The silver bell-like laughter of the girls echoed in the small yard.

Xueyan is holding a big shovel in both hands and is making a snowman, smiling and full of energy.Huier rolled a big snowball on the ground, depending on the situation, it was to be the head of a snowman.The snowball was big enough, bigger than an adult's head, Hui'er stood up, patted the snow off her gloves, and smiled, "Oh, this snowball is too big, I can't move it by myself , Which sister is kind, come and help me!"

Zijuan said: "I'll help you!"

Daiyu grinned as she watched the maids bustle about, pointing at one thing and another at another.Although I didn't do it myself, the snowman was piled up under her guidance, and the shape, size, and decoration were all according to her ideas.

Zijuan turned her head and was about to help Huier move the snowman's head, when she looked up, she saw a person standing against the wind in the yard.The man was wearing a crane cloak and was a slender man.She thought she was delusional, but when she looked carefully, she didn't. It was indeed a man, the master!

"I've seen the master!" She saluted, and everyone looked at the gate of the courtyard.

The maids all saw it and came forward to salute one after another. Daiyu also came forward with a smile, saluted, and asked: "Daddy, why didn't you call my daughter when you came? You are still standing in the wind, in case you catch a cold, why don't you call me?" Wouldn't it make my daughter feel bad?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Seeing that you are enjoying yourself, I may disturb your interest."

Daiyu said, "We're just idle and bored."

Lin Ruhai said: "This snowman looks decent upside down, who came up with the idea?"

Daiyu said: "It's my idea. I used to be weak and couldn't bear the cold, so when it snowed, I would stay behind closed doors, wishing I could stay indoors all day long. Now that I'm healthy, I can I can't help but want to come out and have a good time, daddy can't make fun of me!"

Lin Ruhai said: "It's fine to play, it's cold outside, don't stay outside for too long, lest you catch cold."

Daiyu nodded, and Lin Ruhai put the snowman's head in place by herself. Daiyu plugged the snowman's nose, eyes, and mouth, and put a cloak on the snowman. After staring for a long time, she and Lin Ruhai entered the room together.

There are smoked cages and stoves burning in the room, and the warmth is as warm as March in Yangchun.

Daiyu and Lin Ruhai took off their outer clothes, and the father and daughter sat on the kang and played chess.

Lin Ruhai's current main accusation is teaching the prince, that is, Zhou Hang.Zhou Hang lives in the palace, so whether he goes to court or not, he has to feel that the palace is teaching the prince every day.Occasionally, when the emperor got interested, he would call him to inquire about the government or the prince's schoolwork. Therefore, although it was an easy job, it was not easy in actual feelings.Fortunately, the prince still respects him, he is willing to learn, and he is also smart. Basically, he can tell the other party about the books to memorize and the things to learn.

Recently, the emperor found a martial arts master for the prince. The prince's homework increased, and Lin Ruhai felt much more relaxed.

It used to be that he could only return home after dark, but now there is basically nothing to do in the second half of the day.

"Daddy, it's your turn to settle!"

Playing chess, Lin Ruhai was stunned suddenly, Daiyu frowned suspiciously, stretched out her hand and waved in front of Lin Ruhai, saying.

"Uh……"

Only then did Lin Ruhai realize that his mind had been distracted, and when he looked down, he had already forgotten where he had just descended.

"Father, what kind of troubles did you encounter in business?" Daiyu asked.

"No."

"Then, Dad...why are you absent-minded?"

Lin Ruhai put down the chess pieces, smiled kindly, and said, "It's not a big deal, it can be solved by my father, so don't think too much about it." In fact, today the Holy Majesty asked him to go over and say something, which was related to his daughter, and he thought about it all the way.Recently, many ministers wrote a letter saying that the prince is not too young, and it is time to discuss the selection of a concubine by himself, so that he can get up early to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family.What the Holy Majesty meant was that the crown prince fell in love with Daiyu, so Daiyu's status was supposed to be worthy of her.But after all, she is still too young to get married now.What the emperor meant was to get engaged to the two children first, so as to get rid of those people's thoughts.

However, in this way, Daiyu was pushed to the forefront.

Lin Ruhai was unwilling.

The Holy Majesty said, let him come back and think about it, when is it appropriate to issue the edict.

Speaking of which, it's not uncommon for girls to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but that's all done by irresponsible parents.In order to gain wealth or other inexplicable reasons, regardless of the wishes of the daughter's family, the underage girl was forcibly sent to other people's family, and they were abused by others.His Lin Ruhai's daughter, the daughter he protected like pearls and treasures, how could he be willing to marry her off before she could reach her age?

Just don't get married immediately, get engaged, the nominal future princess, if you say it well, you will envy the noble ladies in the capital, if you say it badly, it will be a thorn in the flesh of the noble ladies in the capital, and you can't get rid of it. quick.

Why, God can't let Lin Ruhai's daughter live an ordinary life?

Lin Daiyu didn't know about these, and Lin Ruhai naturally wouldn't tell her to make her daughter troubled.

After eating, Lin Ruhai revealed some things about Zhou Hang to Daiyu for the first time.Daiyu felt strange and didn't dare to ask, it was what Lin Ruhai said and what she listened to, but she heard some things that Zhou Hang didn't tell him.

For example, Zhou Hang's life is not as carefree as he described.

Although the Holy One favors him more than any prince or princess, he is not the only prince after all.The eldest prince and the second prince dared not make things difficult for him on the surface, but in private they had to move their hands and feet, and the nobles in the palace, the queen mother, concubine, and noble concubines, not all of them liked Zhou Hang.

These were actually in Daiyu's expectation, but now hearing it with her own ears, she still feels uncomfortable.

Lin Ruhai didn't say too much, and what she said was very tactful, many of which were made up by Daiyu's brain.Daiyu thought to herself, she must ask Zhou Hang carefully if she has the opportunity, if he is not satisfied staying in the palace, then... so what?He is not as fat as before, and he can't stay by his side like before...

Daiyu sent a villain out and waited for a long time, but when the villain came back, she fell asleep on the bed unconsciously.

When I woke up the next day, my head was a little groggy, as if I had caught a cold.

Before everyone got up, she ran the exercises for a small week, and stopped when she felt warm all over, and her head became clearer a lot.But there was still no news from the villain sent out last night, which made Daiyu feel anxious, always afraid that Zhou Hang would do something.

After hastily eating breakfast, Daiyu wanted to send another villain to inquire about the news.

Unexpectedly, before he could move, Zijuan hurried in and said: "Girl, the chess player next to the second girl of Jia's mansion is here!"

Isn't the second girl from the Jia family the cousin Yingchun?The big maid beside her is Siqi Hao.

Daiyu asked, "Is Siqi alone? Cousin Yingchun didn't come?"

Zijuan said: "She was the only one who came crying, and said that she had something to ask the girls, so that the girls must save their girls! She was only wearing a thin jacket, and she was soaked from running around. It's so pitiful... "

What's the danger for Cousin Yingchun?

Daiyu subconsciously bit her lip, "Zicuckoo, bring Siqi here!"
