[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu

Daiyu was eating breakfast. She ate a plate of cold shredded chicken, a plate of Dinghu Shangsu, a plate of boiled dried shredded rice, a bowl of porridge, and two pieces of bean paste dim sum before giving up.

Jia Min was stunned: "My son, were you hungry last night?"

Daiyu blinked: "It's okay, my master can eat a few more steamed buns in addition to these dishes when he eats." She looked at the unfinished bowl of red dates and bird's nest porridge in front of her mother. The untouched side dishes in front of me felt very distressed.

Unconsciously, he began to sell Amway for Master: "Mother, you are not feeling well every day, you don't eat much food, and you take daily supplements, but it doesn't seem to be effective. Why don't you practice martial arts with me? "

Jia Min sank down and interrupted her: "Stop talking, I'm the wife of a noble family, and I'm not a child. How can I go to practice martial arts. If it gets out, I won't have the face to face others."

Daiyu's eyes immediately turned red, feeling aggrieved by her master, but she didn't dare to refute: "Mother...you let me practice martial arts, why can't you yourself?"

"I can't, I can't." Jia Min sighed, and explained as softly as possible: "You are still a child, you have not yet reached the age of hair, you don't socialize with others, and you are not restrained, but I am different... ([-] words omitted)... do you understand?"

Daiyu nodded depressedly: "Understood, mother." She stood up, saluted depressedly, and left depressedly.

Jia Min looked at the bare plates and bowls, and suddenly began to worry that if Daiyu got married in the future, if she could eat like this, would she not look elegant enough?Maybe when you go out to be a guest or have a banquet, you can bear it and eat half full, but what should you do at home?

When her husband dined with her in the future, he saw his wife ate several steamed buns in one go, finished off a plate of cured duck, and drank half a pot of soup, which was twice his own appetite. Would he laugh at her?

When Daiyu ran to the Sword Test Pavilion crying, Fourth Sister Wen was having breakfast...

Yes, although she is a martial artist, she doesn't have the habit of dancing to the sound of chickens. She likes to sleep late, and there are only two motivations that can drive her to get up quickly:

1. Longevity!Officers and soldiers are coming to arrest them!Hurry up and run away!

2. It's a dog!If you don't get up again, the stall will be closed early, hurry up...

So she was able to grab some almost every day, catching up with the twenty or ten minutes before the stall closed, went to the fried dough sticks (fried fruit) stall to order what she wanted, and then drank two bowls of small wontons from the wonton stall next door.

Because I went out last night, I came back too late, and I got up late today, and the wontons were sold out when I went, only the owner of the fried dough stick stand smiled and said: "Miss, I know you are coming, I am still waiting for you. "

Fourth Sister Wen thanked her and bought the remaining sweet soy milk, fried cakes, and fried fruits.

When Daiyu ran in crying, Fourth Sister Wen was lying on a bamboo bed in the yard eating fried dough sticks with her eyes closed, she seemed awake just by looking at her face.

Qing Que stopped after reaching the door.

Seeing Master's laziness, Daiyu suddenly stopped crying. Master is very happy every day. Why should I tell her about my mother's despise of her behind her back, which makes Master unhappy.She wiped away her tears: "Master, what are you eating?"

Fourth Sister Wen handed over the uneaten half fried dough stick with ease: "Why are you crying? Do you cry every day?"

Daiyu climbed onto the bamboo couch and squeezed beside her master. She was a little embarrassed when she was about to eat the fried dough sticks.

She always eats in small bites, even now that her appetite has increased, she still eats in small bites, but the deep-fried dough sticks are big, thick and long, after watching Master demonstrate, the way of eating is to open her mouth wide and bite down, which makes her feel a little embarrassed.

Daiyu was mentally prepared: "Aww!" She took a big bite, but it was empty inside!so sad!

But it's delicious!Crispy and warm, it tastes a little oily, but the light salty and spiced flavors are very refreshing.

She clicked click click click.

Fourth Sister Wen lazily sat up, click, click, eat slowly, chewing slowly, with sweet soy milk and spicy mustard shreds beside her, and the mustard lumps were cut by Miss Wen herself, as thin as strands of hair Thin, put a handful of chili noodles, and pour hot oil on it, it is called a fragrance.

Daiyu finished eating one, looked at the fried dough sticks beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Master, can I come to your place for breakfast every day from now on?"

What my parents ate was soft and bland, so boring.

Fourth Sister Wen thought for a while: "Then you eat half full with your parents every day, and then come to my place to continue eating. If the agreement is correct, Master will bring you a portion every day."

Daiyu cheered: "Okay! Master, you are so kind!" She was full, so she had to regretfully take out a handkerchief to wipe the oil, move around, and was ready to start practicing Qi.

In a blink of an eye, it was before the Lantern Festival.

Daiyu's face is already a little baby fat, and she looks similar to other people's chubby girls, except that her eyebrows and eyes are more correct and delicate.She has already been able to use the body method of pulling onions on dry land—that is, standing on the ground and jumping onto the roof with all her strength.

Wen Si is very satisfied with this, but also a little depressed: I can only jump up after practicing martial arts for three years, and I will be hanged and beaten by my apprentice.Fortunately, Daiyu has a good personality. Although she cannot be said to be gentle and well-behaved, she is very assertive and will not bully others.

That night, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, and Lin Daiyu finished their meal, and while chatting with each other, Qingzhu stood at the door and said crisply: "Master, madam, Fourth Sister Wen has something to see."

Fourth Sister Wen waited silently outside the door.

Lin Ruhai was very satisfied when he saw his daughter who was getting healthier and taller, and said, "Please."

Fourth Sister Wen walked in, wearing a brown jacket and short jacket as before, she still looked like she had just returned from plowing the fields.With a bun on her head, she cupped her fists with a smile: "Master Lin, Mrs. Lin!"

Lin Ruhai had some respect for her function: "Master Wen, please sit down."

The maid at the side hurriedly brought hot tea.

Fourth Sister Wen sat at the bottom: "Lord Lin, Mrs. Lin, I want to take a month off. The year is approaching, and I should return to my hometown to sacrifice."

Yes, Fourth Sister Wen has this good habit. Although her parents are both deceased and she is unrestrained, she will go to the ancestral grave every year to pull grass and mound the grave, and place incense burners, wax skewers, wine, meat and fruits as sacrifices.

It's not that she believes in this, it's just that if she doesn't go...it's too desolate.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min looked at each other after hearing this, and nodded approvingly.

Jia Min smiled and said: "Miss Wen is right, but the journey is far away. If one month is not enough, two months will be enough. Qingzhu, give Miss Wen 500 taels of silver as travel expenses."

Lin Ruhai also said: "I'll send someone to drive Miss Wen to lead her by the way. It will be more convenient along the way."

Fourth Sister Wen cupped her fists: "Thank you."

Lin Daiyu leaned against her mother, reluctantly: "Master... come back soon."

Fourth Sister Wen smiled and showed her small white teeth: "Master will bring you back candied haws!"

Lin Ruhai asked again: "How is my little girl's kung fu?"

Fourth Sister Wen lied to him: "Daiyu's martial arts has not progressed much, and her appetite grows very fast."

Lin Ruhai felt relieved.

Jia Min was worried again.
