Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 140 Miaoyu's Body Tea
"The house here has been tidied up, and I want to take my sister over to live with me."

As soon as Lin Ruhai returned to the capital, he sent someone to clean up the house.

It's just that I live here comfortably, so I haven't moved there.

But after finishing his work recently, he sent someone to contact his elder sister who first came to Duzhong.

Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai added with a smile:
"Also, Miaoyu."

"I see."

Feng Yibo was slightly embarrassed when he heard this.

Because he thought that what Lin Ruhai meant was to follow the promise.

Let Miaoyu be his concubine, and advance to Feng's mansion to open up branches and leaves for him.

Because he already had sisters from the You family, he had nothing to do with it.

Since not in a hurry.

But Lin Ruhai didn't say it clearly, and Feng Yibo wouldn't mention it too much.

I can only talk about the elders first, saying:
"If aunt is willing, you might as well live here together."

"Never mind."

Hearing Feng Yibo's invitation, Lin Ruhai shook his head, smiled bitterly and said:

"She is not in good health. I am in a hurry to move away, and I also want to pick her up for recuperation."

Lin Ruhai always thought that his sister and Miaoyu were because they lingered around the Avalokitesvara ruins and the Bayeux inscriptions.

That's why I haven't contacted Jia Zheng.

But when he sent someone there, he found out that it was his sister who started to get sick when she arrived in the capital.

Has been lingering sick so far.

Thinking of the health care plan that Feng Yibo made for him.

Daily meat, eggs, milk, soy milk, etc., as well as the best bird's nest supply.

Think about my sister's food in the temple...

He sighed and said:
"After all, those who have clear soup and little water in the temple are not places to recuperate."

Feng Yibo patted his chest and said:
"Since my aunt is ill, it's better to be served here. As a junior, I should do some filial piety."

He has gained experience in helping people recover from illness.

Especially the father and daughter of the Lin family are both weak and sick.

Now that there are many aunts of the Lin family, they should be familiar with them.

"No need, just go and see me when the time comes."

Lin Ruhai refused again, and said:

"She'd better be clean, I'm afraid she won't come here."

Pausing for a while, afraid that Feng Yibo would think too much, he added:

"But you are Daiyu's future husband-in-law, come and see me when the time comes."

Thinking of her sister's temper, Lin Ruhai sighed slightly:

"If it weren't for this relationship, she might not be willing to see her."

"OK then."

Now that the words have come to this point, Feng Yibo naturally no longer insists.
He nodded and said:

"Then when my aunt moves out, I will definitely visit her."

Afterwards, Lin Ruhai bid farewell to Li Shouzhong, and hurriedly began to move.

Feng Yibo personally led the people and moved there quickly.

The Lin family's house is not far from Feng's residence.

It's just to the north, about five miles away from Qiantang Hutong.

About three days later, Lin Ruhai sent someone to ask Feng Yibo to meet him.

The next day happened to be Xiu Mu, Feng Yibo originally had an appointment with Jia Lian and the others.

Let someone tell the other side that you will arrive later, and then go directly to the Lin Mansion.

When he arrived at the mansion, all the servants recognized him.

There was no need to wait for any communication, and he was brought directly to the main hall.

After a while, someone came out and asked him to meet in the main room.

Feng Yibo came to the main room, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin Ruhai and Daiyu were there.

In addition, there is an old nun on the kang and a nun with hair.

Feng Yibo hastily stepped forward to salute.

"Meet my uncle!"

Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded, and introduced to the old nun beside him:
"This is the Yibo I just told my sister, and it is also the future husband-in-law of Daiyu and Miaoyu."

The old nun nodded slightly, and Lin Ruhai said to Feng Yibo:

"This is my sister, you can just call her aunt after Daiyu."

Feng Yibo hastily stepped forward, saluted deeply and said:

"Yibo met aunt!"

I saw this aunt wearing a beige monk's robe and a monk's hat.

The wide sleeves of the monk's robe made her extremely thin.

His cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were slightly cloudy.

The whole person is haggard and skinny.

One look and you know you're sick.

Feng Yibo couldn't help but secretly sigh.

Are the bodies of the Lin family so weak?

This aunt must not have exceeded the standard of heavy metals.

But it looked scarier than Lin Ruhai back then.

"Amitabha! Ever since I came to the capital, I have been paying attention to Yibo's news."

Aunt Lin clasped her hands together, and the thin joints and blood vessels on her hands were clearly visible.

She was obviously smiling, but because she was too thin, her smile was a little ferocious.

The voice is not loud, but fortunately the enunciation is still clear.

She only heard her say again: "You are young, you can get a job, and you are both civil and military. This is the talent of the country."

"Many inside and outside the high school are full of praise for Yibo."

Feng Yibo waved his hands again and again when he heard the words, and said modestly:

"Auntie praised you, Yibo is ashamed."

"You don't have to be humble. As a monk, I don't lie. What I say is what I see and hear."

Aunt Lin spoke with a certainty, as if it should be so.

He smiled again and said: "I am dying, and the only thing I care about is Miaoyu. If Ruhai entrusts her to you, I will feel relieved."

"Master!" Miaoyu whispered beside her, frowning.

It's not because she's shy, but because she doesn't want Aunt Lin to talk about life and death lightly.

Aunt Lin naturally understood, she turned her head and smiled and said to her:
"Haven't you met your Feng family brother first?"

Miaoyu suppressed her worries when she heard the words, and obediently stepped forward to salute:
"I met Brother Feng."

When she sees the ceremony, it is a Buddhist ritual, not a blessing for a woman.

Feng Yibo was a little puzzled, he returned the gift and looked at it at the same time.

I saw her wearing a Miaochang crown on her head, a paddy field coat over her head, and holding a stag tail rosary in her hand.

Miaochangguan is named after Chen Miaochang, the heroine in "Jade Hairpin".

This is a well-known...

Sifanni.

The paddy field clothing is made of plain square cloth, and it is not only worn by monks.

Many noble ladies also regard it as fashion.

On the whole, it is actually half monk and half layman.

But at a glance, anyone would know that he was practicing with hair.

When Feng Yibo looked at her, Miao Yuzi also looked at Feng Yibo.

Knowing that this is the husband my father found for me.

Hearing that she is a prostitute, Miaoyu is naturally satisfied.

She thinks that Wenhua is not inferior to scholars, but she is not arrogant enough to dare to compare with Tanhua.

She was the only one who could only do this, which made her still dissatisfied.

However, Master's upbringing for her made her not show any emotions.

Before Feng Yibo came in, she also met her sister for the first time.

The two sisters only greeted each other, and have never had a deep understanding.

While Feng Yibo and Miaoyu were looking at each other, Lin Ruhai smiled and said:
"I let people see it. Tomorrow will be a good day."

The room is full of insiders, and as soon as they hear the auspicious day, they know what he is going to say.

Sure enough, Lin Ruhai continued:
"When the time comes, Yibo will have someone carry Miaoyu over there, and then my previous promise will be fulfilled."

This matter has been decided long ago, and there is nothing to say.

It's just that Feng Yibo was about to agree, but Miao Yu suddenly said:

"Wait! Father let me know!"

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai immediately frowned and looked at Miaoyu.

I saw her take two steps forward, and said solemnly:
"Miaoyu has been with Master since childhood, and it was Master who raised me."

The others didn't understand what it meant, only Aunt Lin looked at Miaoyu lovingly.

She understood what Miaoyu was going to say, so she interrupted:
"Good boy, don't talk about it."

"Master, please let me finish!"

Miaoyu gave Aunt Lin an aggrieved look.

"Amitabha!"

Aunt Lin understood her temperament best, she sighed when she heard the words, and began to recite the Buddha's name.

Miaoyu looked at Lin Ruhai stubbornly, and continued:
"Now Master is ill, please allow me to wait on the bedside."

Only then did the rest of the people suddenly realize that they were all moved by their filial piety.

Especially when Daiyu heard the words, she was quite emotional.

Before, I always thought that the one who did her concubine was a relative.

It was only today that I found out that this Miaoyu was actually her half-sister.

Raised by her aunt until now, her father has hardly fulfilled any duties.

Therefore, it is human nature to have a better relationship with my aunt.

"When her old man recovers, let's talk... let's talk about other things!"

The other, of course, is Feng's concubine.

Speaking of this, Miaoyu paid homage and said bluntly:

"Father, please fulfill your daughter's filial piety!"

This time it seemed that he was begging Lin Ruhai.

In fact, when Lin Ruhai and Aunt Lin discussed this matter before,
Miaoyu said at the time that she was devoted to the Buddha and did not want to go through the door.

At least not now.

But these words were ignored by the two elders.

Aunt Lin knew about this marriage and Miaoyu's temperament.

It is precisely because he knows that her fate is not over, otherwise he would not have brought her to the capital.

It's just that they didn't come by chance.

When he arrived in Duzhong, Feng Yibo happened to go to Jiangnan.

Coupled with physical reasons, it has been delayed until now.

Although she didn't go to Jia's mansion, Aunt Lin sent a letter to her.

That's why Lin Ruhai found out about it from Jia Zheng.

The residence of their master and apprentice is in the Muni courtyard outside the west gate.

Now, Miaoyu was in front of Feng Yibo again.

Although he didn't say he didn't want to go through the door, he also made an excuse to postpone it.

For Lin Ruhai, there was suspicion of persecution.

"It's a good thing that you have filial piety, and I won't stop it."

Lin Ruhai was unhappy in his heart, but his face was still cheerful.

Just echoing the previous sentence, he changed the subject:

"But if you become Feng's wife, it doesn't affect your filial piety."

He smiled, but the words behind him were full of guns and sticks, and said:
"The Feng family is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, can Yibo tie you up?"

"After you pass the door, you can also come back to visit your aunt at any time."

While speaking, he looked at Feng Yibo and asked:

"That's right! Yibo?"

What can Feng Yibo say?
He nodded, just about to make a few words.

Daiyu, who was silent all this time, stepped forward to salute at this moment.

Kneeling beside Miaoyu, she sincerely said:
"Father, if Sister Miao shows filial piety, you will be fulfilled!"

Miao Yu gave her a surprised look.

Some couldn't figure out why this younger sister wanted to speak for herself.

In her mind, Daiyu has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child.

It should be a young lady who has no one in her eyes.

Looking at it for the time being, it is knowledgeable and polite.

He is also a good person.

On the contrary, I have always wanted to be left?

After Daiyu said this, she tilted her head and looked at Feng Yibo.

There is hope in the eyes, as if pleading:

"I think Brother Feng must also want to be filial in front of aunt, just like he did in front of you before."

"But it just happened to let Sister Miao take his share with her."

Her words made Lin Ruhaidun feel embarrassed.

Especially with Feng Yibo as his son-in-law, Lin Ruhai naturally refused to bow his head easily.

So I can only frown and say nothing.

It's not easy for Feng Yibo to intervene as Lin Ruhai's goddaughter.

But when Daiyu spoke at this time, he naturally wanted to save face.

"Uncle Rong, I don't think there is any need to rush this matter."

Feng Yibo also bowed at this time, kneeling in a row with the two of them.

I don't know, I thought I worshiped Gaotang in advance!

"My aunt has always been served by Ms. Miaoyu. If she leaves suddenly, I'm afraid I won't be used to it."

Feng Yibo knew very well that what is needed at this time is not prayer.

Instead, find a similar step for Lin Ruhai.

Otherwise, if he cannot step down, he will not agree to this matter.

"Why don't we just wait until my aunt is better, and it happens that my aunt will also be a witness for us. Does uncle think this is okay?"

Since Daiyu was interceding for Miaoyu, Feng Yibo naturally had to stand in line with the two wives.

And he also knew that although the two were sisters, this was the first time they met.

Daiyu is like this, it is obvious that she also wants to repair with Miaoyu.

What he didn't know was that Daiyu didn't know until these two days.

Miaoyu is her half-sister.

"What Yibo said makes sense!"

Seeing what Feng Yibo said, Lin Ruhai also stepped up.

He reluctantly nodded, and said to his sister beside him:

"Why don't you just wait for my sister to recover and be a witness for the two of them, how about it?"

"Amitabha! I'm fine no matter what!"

Aunt Lin was already moved when she heard Miaoyu's words.

At this time, she naturally understood that it was just an excuse for her to say that she was devoted to Buddha.

Is wanting to stay and take care of myself.

She raised her hand to help, and said a little excitedly:
"You are all good boys, get up quickly!"

In this way, this matter is settled.

Miaoyu doesn't stay here for the time being, and stays to serve Aunt Lin.

Daiyu will not return to Jia's house for the time being, but will do her filial piety in front of her aunt.

By the way, get along with Miaoyu for a while.

Besides, Feng Yibo stayed for a while, then resigned to go to Jia Lian's appointment.

Lin Ruhai and Aunt Lin chatted about the past, reminiscing about the past.

Miaoyu found an excuse at random and bowed to leave.

Before going out, he glanced at Daiyu.

Daiyu then told her in agreement, and followed her out.

As soon as she came out, Miaoyu took Daiyu to her room.

Without saying a word, he fanned water on the stove.

Made another pot of tea.

Daiyu wasn't sure what she was going to do.

After following, I found a futon in the house and sat down.

Wait for Miaoyu to ask the servant girl to bring the teacup and sit opposite Daiyu.

Only then did she realize that this was to treat herself to tea.

Although Daiyu is not proficient in this way, she can also see that the tea set in front of her is extraordinary.

In front of her at this time is a small bowl shaped like a bowl, with three pendulum seal characters.

Engraved with "point rhinoceros".

It looks quite ancient.

It can be roughly understood as: a bowl-shaped container made of rhino horn.

Miaoyu didn't say a word, and poured a drink with Daiyu.

He poured it into the green jade bucket that he used to drink tea with.

Seeing that Miaoyu was very strange, she didn't speak.

Daiyu took a sip of the tea in front of her and opened up the topic by saying:
"My sister's tea is extremely light and mellow. It's the first time I've tasted it, but what's the point?"

This is also a feeling.

She is not proficient in tea ceremony, and she only drank rough drinks before.

I hardly drink now.

This was because when Feng Yibo helped their father and daughter recuperate their bodies.

The father and daughter are asked to drink less tea, and strong tea should be banned.

so as not to affect sleep.

So Daiyu hasn't had tea for a while.

I don't even eat tea very much, and I have never tasted it.

"The tea is just last year's Mingqian Biluochun tea."

Miaoyu also took a sip and explained:
"I have been in the capital this year, and there is no new tea from home, so it is not a good one. I just want you to have a familiar taste."

At this time, Biluochun in Gusu is one of the most sought after flavors of tea by scholars.

The ancestral home of the Lin family is in Gusu again,

The two sisters eat Biluochun tea, which is also a taste of their hometown.

It's just that Miaoyu could eat the best Biluochun tea back then.

Now it is a fly in the ointment.

In fact, in the capital, this tea can be considered top-notch.

If you are not knowledgeable, you can't tell the difference at all.

But Miaoyu just felt that it was a pity that the tea was not new.

because……

"But you should know the water is different."
