[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

There is a thatched hut near the ancestral tomb of the Lin family outside Gusu City. It is small in size, with about four or five rooms.Although it is a hut, it is clean and tidy inside. Floor tiles are laid in the yard and inside the house. In particular, the floor tiles inside the house are smooth and clean, with simple and elegant furnishings. In addition, the location of the ancestral tomb is beautiful, and it can even be used as a place for retired officials to live in seclusion and enjoy the leisurely clouds and wild cranes.

There is a fence around the thatched hut, and vines such as creepers are planted on the edge of the fence. They grow gratifyingly, and are occasionally dotted with yellow-green clusters of small flowers. From a distance, you can only see lush green leaves, but you can only see the greenery when you look closely. There is a little yellow in the bush, which looks quite wild.I don't know how long it took to surround the fence tightly, and the original appearance of the fence can no longer be seen.

This is where Lin Ruhai and Jiang Yingrong Shouxiao lived.In ancient times, Ding You had to eat and drink in front of his parents' graves, and stop all entertainment and entertainment, and weddings and other happy events were not allowed for three years.The husband and wife have lived here for more than a year. They do not bring servants with them, and they do their own daily meals and daily life. They just order the people in the old house to send some necessary daily necessities and food on a regular basis.

Although Jiang Yingrong does not have much opportunity to enter the kitchen in this world, she can still cook good dishes. When she was in the mansion before, in order to show her filial piety or to enhance her relationship, Jiang Yingrong would occasionally cook one or two snacks or make a soup for her. Mrs. Lin or Lin Ruhai.Therefore, preparing daily meals, and the taste is not bad, Lin Ruhai did not have too many doubts.

On the contrary, it was very distressing. The daughter-in-law didn't say that when she was not married, even if she married into Lin's mansion, she never worried about serving meals. Now she has to wash her hands and make soup, and it will take three years to make soup. Roll up your sleeves and do it together.There are no outsiders around, even if there are outsiders, he doesn't care, the two of them are just ordinary couples at this moment, they have to help each other, and the daughter-in-law can't work hard alone.

Besides, if his old mother knew that the daughter-in-law did all the daily housework alone, he would just sit back and enjoy it as an uncle, and maybe crawl out of the ground to beat him.

It's just that Mr. Lin, who is so powerful in the court, is really not good at housework.Helping when it is a hindrance is far more helpful than helping when it is right, and Jiang Yingrong often has to help clean up the mess.

But the two of them are husband and wife, and there is a posture that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Anyway, they have nothing else to do, so it can be considered a bit of fun.

One no longer worries about affairs in court, the other no longer disturbed by the trivial matters of the big family, the husband and wife suddenly became free, one hour of offering incense and chanting sutras to Mrs. Lin was removed from the day, and the rest of the time was spent with nothing but reading. Time is quite dull.Simply open up a small piece of land around the hut and plant some seasonal vegetables, such as green vegetables, cabbage, eggplant, beans, and radishes, for daily needs.

Shouxiao is not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat, and can only be a vegetarian. After the vegetable garden is planted in the back, the daily dishes are not even sent by people from the old house on a regular basis, and only some rice noodles are needed for washing.The two of them are like ordinary farmers, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Although they are filial piety, their life is not hard and boring.

As for Daiyu, apart from letting her live in the hut with the couple in the first year of filial piety, Lin Ruhai ordered the people in the old house to take Daiyu back to live in the hut once her filial piety was over, and to live in the hut every ten days. Go back in a day or two to express the love between father and daughter, mother and daughter.

Although the thatched hut is nice, Daiyu is a little girl's family after all, without outsiders, it is inevitable that she will be too lonely.Moreover, the daily diet is light and seldom, and it is time for her body to grow. If this happens for three consecutive years, Lin Ruhai is worried that her daughter's body will become thinner and her foundation will be lost.Daiyu has passed the filial piety period, but there is no meat to be seen here in the hut, so she simply let Daiyu go back to the old house.

I specially hired a teacher to teach every day, so as not to waste my homework.Lin Ruhai felt sorry for Daiyu who was tired from studying for a long time, but since he discovered Daiyu's talent, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear to let Daiyu go to waste. He still attached great importance to homework, but he didn't read a lot every day, at most two hours just fine.

I also invited a widowed and childless old aunt of the same family to come over to look after her. One is that it is so good to have an elder, so that there is an adult who can make decisions when encountering any problems; People live in an old house, without any elders to control them, and they are surrounded by servants. If they become naughty after a long time and lose their restraint, it will be unbeautiful if something bad happens.

Of course, the guards in the old house are well equipped, and there is no need to worry about safety issues, but Daiyu is a daughter's family after all, and it is better to have a female elder by her side than a nanny.

Ever since Daiyu arrived in Gusu, she was like a bird out of its cage. Before that, her family in the capital had a lot of people. Whenever she wanted to sneak a look outside, she was always worried about being discovered.Moreover, the capital city is the base camp, once someone recognizes her when she goes out, there will probably be an uproar in the whole capital city.

Daiyu doesn't really care about fame, she just wants to live a free and easy life, and doesn't care much about worldly views.But she still has her parents and relatives, so she has to think about them, and their reputation has been damaged for no reason, and they have been talked about by the world for no reason.The power of gossip these days can even crush a big family, so Daiyu has been suppressing her nature, at most practicing whipping at home, and the rest of the time is not much different from Miss Boudoir.

Now in Gusu, there is no one to control, and it is a strange place where no one knows. Even if people find out that she is a man, they don't know that she is the Lin family lady, so Daiyu began to secretly disguise herself from time to time and go out for fun. .

Dad thought that everything would be fine with a teacher and an old aunt, but he didn't know that Mr. Xi lived in the front yard and only had half a day's class in the morning every day, so he couldn't control her in the afternoon.The old aunt is getting old, and she tends to doze off easily, so she has to sleep for two hours in the afternoon, so the whole afternoon is arranged by Daiyu herself, so there is room for manipulation.

Daiyu, who was going out in disguise for the first time, was still a little uneasy in her heart. It was no different from the experience of a big girl getting on the sedan chair. There was both the joy of going out to see the world and the uneasiness of being discovered.

Daiyu is not stupid, she will not simply think that outsiders will not be able to see the clue if she puts on a man's clothes and puts on a man's hair bun.She deliberately made her face darker, and drew some edges and corners between her eyebrows and eyes, making her look less feminine and sharper.Although it was exposed to a lot of sun at the ancestral grave before, it is not as fair as before, but it is still whiter than ordinary men. If you go out in such a white and clean way, I am afraid it will be easy to pass through.

Wearing ordinary men's clothes, the main reason is that it is easy to be misunderstood by bad guys if they are dressed too well, and cause troubles as if they are taken advantage of.Although her whip is well practiced, ordinary people can't do anything to her, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands. If the opponent has many people and uses some shady methods, it will be impossible to guard against.It's better to keep a low profile when going out, she just wants to go out and have fun, and doesn't want to cause any trouble.

With the addition of a folding fan, wouldn't you become a Pianpianjia young master? Thanks to his daily martial arts training, Daiyu had a certain heroic spirit, but now he deliberately released it. From the perspective of others, he is just a young man from a decent family. son.

Although Daiyu has never gone out alone, but Xiao Si is very familiar with the outside world, and she never tells her less about outside affairs, and listens to all kinds of tricks, as well as Xiao Si's usual shady tricks. I also know a lot.

The second brother came back last time and quietly gave her some miraculous medicinal powder produced by Beimu. She has not actually verified the specific effect.It is said that it will not cause death, but it will definitely make the other party feel uncomfortable and let her use it for self-defense.Ever since she knew she was going back to Gusu, she packed it up and took it with her in case of emergencies. Facts have proved that she really has the foresight.

As long as she is not unlucky and encounters some difficult people, Daiyu can completely protect herself when she goes out.

So on a clear afternoon, Daiyu threatened the maid, Siqin, to put on her clothes, lie on the bed and pretend to sleep, while the other three took cover, dressed themselves and went out.He also said that when he came back in the evening, he would bring them delicious and fun food, leaving behind four terrified maidservants.

Daiyu seems to have opened the door to a new world after she went out. She has already thought about it. For the first time, she will go to a familiar place first. The time should not be too long. Find out where there is good food and where there is fun, and then slowly Just experience it one by one.Therefore, after shopping around the snack street, Daiyu bought a lot of food and play, and asked about the places where good literati and students like to gather, and went back home with a big bag of things on her back.

The four maidservants finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Daiyu come back with her whole beard.You must know that they have been worrying all afternoon, for fear that something might happen to the young lady. At that time, they would not be able to pay for ten or hundreds of them. The world is not as scary as imagined, it's not that there are bad people everywhere, so I finally feel relieved.

Asking chess is the most evasive, so ask first: "Miss, is it very lively outside? It's not fun to be hot, take me with you next time you go out, and I will help Miss carry things." outside.

"Ask about chess, and next time. This time Miss went out, the rest of us are already frightened, and you still plan to do it a second time." Si Qin never forgets her sense of responsibility. Send her out to be married, and she will no longer be able to serve her by her side, even if Si Qin is beaten to death, she will not join them.

"Okay, my housekeeper, your miss, I go to crowded places. I don't go into small alleys and remote places. There is no danger. If the outside world is so scary, how can ordinary people Life, when I went out, I saw many young women walking on the street, as well as businessmen, it's all right, don't worry." Daiyu told Si Qin about the situation, also wanting to reassure her.

Ordinary people think about how to make a living all day long, and there are many unmarried girls selling on the street, so they don't have the time to care about whether they show their faces or go against the world's vision.

"Can the lady take me out?" Wenqi asked again.

"Yes, but you have to pretend to be my wife, so I can take you out." Daiyu rubbed her chin and looked at Wenqi.

"Miss, you're kidding me again. How can a young master like you marry me?" After all, Daiyu is from a daughter's family, and she is small in stature, so she looks no different from a young master of eleven or twelve.

"Isn't it okay to be a child bride?" Daiyu teased, she looked like a young man who was greedy for the beauty of the maid, and he was dressed in men's clothing. His appearance really made Wenqi blush, and the master and servant laughed again.

As the saying goes, once you are born and you are familiar with each other, Daiyu will be more proficient and convenient to go out later, and she will not feel the anxiety of the first time. She even made some famous names in Gusu City and made many friends.
