My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 209 What’s the price?

Seeing Jia Yu come in, a blush appeared on Daiyu's face.

Although it was not the first time for Daiyu to have dinner with Jia Yu, it was a dinner party with as few as ten people and as many as dozens of people. It was the first time that the two of them dined alone like this.

Daiyu couldn't let go, and said softly with a reddish face: "Brother Yu, it's getting late. I heard that you haven't had dinner yet, so I asked Xueyan to invite you down for a simple meal. I hope you don't dislike it. ."

"of course not!"

Jia Yu sat down with a smile, picked up the chopsticks on the table and said, "Speaking of which, this is also the first time that Brother Yu can eat a meal arranged by Yu'er personally. Of course you can't miss it."

After saying that, Jia Yu was not polite, picked up the bowl with her left hand, picked it up with her right and started to eat happily.

Under the surprised gazes of Daiyu and Xueyan, Jia Yu finished two bowls of rice in less than ten minutes. He also swept away most of the four dishes on the table, and also gave the bowl of soup to Drink it all.

After eating and drinking, he patted his belly and said with a smile, "I'm finally full...eh...by the way...Yu'er, why don't you eat?"

Lin Daiyu gave him a dumbfounded look and said, "I've almost finished eating. What do you want me to eat?"

Xue Yan, who was waiting behind Daiyu, couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle Yu can really eat, but as the old saying goes, being able to eat is a blessing.

Girl, if there are not enough slaves, ask the cook to add two more dishes. "

"No need."

Daiyu smiled and shook her head. She also picked up the bowls and chopsticks and began to eat slowly. While eating, she held the dishes on the table and did not dislike that it was Jia Yu who ate the leftovers.

It's just that she ate very slowly. After a quarter of an hour, she only ate less than half a bowl, and she only ate two pieces of mutton and a little green vegetables.

Seeing Daiyu eating, Jia Yu couldn't help but shook her head and said: "Yu'er... it's not okay to eat like this. Even a cat can eat more than you.

Your body bones are not good to begin with. If you don’t eat more, how can you keep your body bones in good shape? "

Xue Yan couldn't help but defend her lady: "Uncle Yu, our lady's meal was pretty good, she usually eats less.

It's good to be able to eat less than half a bowl of rice in one meal. It's rare to eat half a bowl today. "

Jia Yu sighed lightly and looked at Daiyu again for a while.

This girl with an oval face, snow-white complexion and delicate appearance is certainly beautiful, but the sad look between her eyebrows always makes people feel particularly distressed, and her thin figure always makes people wonder if she will be... The feeling of being blown away by the wind.

Jia Yu said sternly: "Yu'er, Brother Yu knows that the early death of your mother and brother has had a great impact on you, and living under someone else's roof all the time has also made you feel insecure.

But this is not a reason for you to give up on yourself. We will go to Yangzhou in a few days, and you will also have to take on the responsibility of taking care of your uncle. If you are still so weak, let alone take care of your uncle, don't let others take care of you. Not bad.

So no matter how reluctant you are, you must eat. "

At this time, Zijuan came in with a bowl of soup. Seeing Jia Yu teaching Daiyu such an unceremonious lesson, she was so frightened that she almost spilled the soup in her hand.

No one knows Daiyu's temper better than her, and Lin Dao's nickname is not for nothing.

During his years in Rongguo Mansion, who among these people, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Baoyu, has not been criticized by him?

If it were Baoyu who dared to say such things to her, he would definitely fall out immediately.

But something happened that shocked her. Daiyu, who was taught a lesson, did not respond immediately. Instead, she silently picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating again. She only stopped after eating less than half a bowl of rice. down.

Seeing Daiyu eating again, Jia Yu also had a little smile in her eyes, "That's right... How can you take care of your body if you don't eat enough.

Let's do this. From tomorrow on, you will exercise with me every morning, and I will teach you a set of Ba Duan Jin.

As long as you insist on practicing every day for two or three years, your health will definitely improve. "

"Ah... I still need to get up early to exercise." Upon hearing this, Daiyu's little face suddenly wrinkled.

"Of course you have to practice. If you don't practice, how will you condition your body?"

Jia Yu deliberately made a serious face, "The body is the capital of everything. Without a good body, it doesn't matter if you are rich and in a high position, it will be nothing in the end.

You don’t want to see a sick daughter that Uncle Lin saw after returning to Yangzhou, right? "

Seeing Daiyu's still wrinkled face, Jia Yu thought for a while: "Okay, if you can eat on time and exercise on time, from today on, I will start telling you the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" again. And I can also tell you.

There is a follow-up to that Condor Shooting movie, do you want to hear it? "

Daiyu: "You..."

I have never seen such a thief.

Seeing the look of dismay on Jia Yu's face, Daiyu's silver teeth made a slight friction sound, wanting to bite this bastard to death.

However, in the end our girl Lin succumbed to Jia Yu's threat.

Who makes the Condor Shooting movie so exciting? There are very few entertainment activities these days, and The Condor Shooting is a classic that has been tested by the market for more than half a century. For a girl like Daiyu, its appeal is not the slightest bit.

The most terrible thing is that Jia Yu also threw out another king bomb, and the shooting of the condor actually had a follow-up.

This is what my uncle can't stand and my aunt can't stand it.

Isn't it just eating, isn't it just getting up in the morning to exercise? Isn't this girl still afraid of it?

Daiyu took a deep breath and resisted the urge to hit people with her fists, "Sure...I promise you...but you also have to promise that starting from today, you will teach me two hours of books every day. Until I finish talking about The Condor Shooting and the subsequent book.”

Jia Yu rolled her eyes and said that two hours of reading... you are thinking nonsense.

Seeing Jia Yu actually rolling her eyes at her, Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore, raised her small fist and slapped him "hard" on the arm.

Although with Daiyu's physique, the force of this swat is comparable to swatting a fly, but for Daiyu, it is the first time in her life that she reaches out to hit someone.

Seeing that Daiyu was really anxious, Jia Yu stretched out a finger and said: "One hour... if it works, that's fine... if it doesn't, forget it."

"Okay...just an hour."

In fact, with Daiyu's intelligence, she could naturally see that one hour was already the limit for Jia Yu, so she nodded reluctantly, but then immediately said: "But we have to start talking from today."

The Xueyan and Zijuan on the side were already stunned with shock when they saw this scene.

In her impression, Daiyu has always been a arrogant girl.

In the past, when she was in the Jia Mansion, she would never ask for or ask for anything good. Even if Baoyu happily sends it over, she may not accept it.

But now, they girls actually take the initiative to ask a young man to tell her stories every day. It's not enough because of the lack of time. They even resort to violence for this. To them, this is just like the sun rising in the west.

Jia Yu, who was sharp-eyed, saw a sly look in Daiyu's eyes.

This little girl...

Jia Yu couldn't help but couldn't help but laugh or cry. She actually played tricks in order to listen to the book.

However, he did not expose it, but readily agreed.

"Okay... let's start talking from now on."

As soon as she heard about the Condor Shooting, Daiyu immediately became energetic.

She stretched out her slender hand to pour a cup of tea for Jia Yu and placed it in front of him.

Jia Yu wiped her mouth with a napkin, took a sip of tea and thought for a moment: "As we mentioned last time, Huang Rong was about to tear the chicken open when someone behind her suddenly said: "Tear it into three parts and give me the chicken butt. . "

Both of them were surprised. How could they not realize that someone was covering their backs? They turned around hurriedly and saw that the person speaking was a middle-aged beggar..."

As Jia Yu narrated, the three women, including Daiyu, all pricked up their ears and were quickly immersed in the exciting story...

From that day on, Jia Yu would tell Daiyu the Legend of the Condor Heroes for an hour every day, and Daiyu kept her promise and would get up early every morning to practice Baduanjin with Jia Yu.

The practice time also gradually increased from a quarter of an hour. When the fleet sailed to Xuzhou, Daiyu was already out of breath after practicing for a quarter of an hour to practicing for two quarters of an hour without any serious problems.

…………

This morning, Jia Yu had just finished her morning exercise with Daiyu when the captain came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Xuzhou Pier is ahead. We are almost running out of things on board. We need to stop the ship to purchase new items."

Jia Yu calculated that it had been fifteen days since he left Shenjing, and it was indeed time to do some shopping again.

He nodded, "Okay... then let's stop the ship and dock. I will give you half a day to disembark and buy. You must return before You hour (5 p.m.). Do you understand?"

"Understood, the villain must return before the You hour." The boat boss agreed, and then secretly glanced at the graceful Daiyu standing not far away, and said attentively: "Sir, you have been on the boat for many days. You can also take your family members off the boat to relax.”

"This officer has his own arrangements." Faced with the invitation from the ship boss, Jia Yu just said noncommittally, and then dismissed him.

Just after the boat boss left, Daiyu came over and asked: "Brother Yu, do you want to go ashore when you arrive in Xuzhou?"

Jia Yu asked, "What about you, Yu'er, do you want to get off the boat and relax?"

Daiyu thought for a while, then shook her head: "Forget it, I'm not familiar with Xuzhou, and our trip is not to visit the mountains and rivers, but to rush to Yangzhou as soon as possible to replace my father. Everything else is secondary. of."

A glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, a gust of river wind blew by. Daiyu couldn't help but tighten her tight clothes.

Seeing this, Jia Yu took off her cloak and put it on Daiyu. Daiyu's pink cheeks turned red, but she didn't refuse. Suddenly, a faint masculine scent floated between her nose.

In fact, after more than ten days of getting along day and night, the relationship between the two has become one step closer than before. Daiyu is no longer resistant to some casual contact, but just like now, he directly puts on the cloak of a man who is not a close relative to her. This is the first time for me.

But Daiyu also told herself in her heart that this was just her cousin-in-law, and there was nothing more between them than love.

But there are some things that you can't control if you want to. As time went by, even Daiyu herself didn't notice it, and the relationship between her and Jia Yu became more and more casual.

Just like Jia Yu putting his cloak on her, it would have been impossible before boarding the ship. But now not only does Jia Yu take off her cloak naturally, Daiyu also wears it in a natural way.

Even the two parties involved were not aware of this fit. Only Xueyan and Zicuckoo, who were bystanders, could see it clearly not far away.

Zicuckoo, who was standing behind, couldn't help but take two steps forward, but before she could say anything, she was grabbed by Xue Yan.

Zijuan was anxious, struggling and yelling in a low voice: "Xueyan... why are you pulling me?"

"Why am I pulling you?" Xue Yan stared at her almond-shaped eyes and whispered: "Don't you know what I'm pulling you for?

Are the affairs of Uncle Yu and the girl something that we slaves can take care of? "

"But Uncle Yu is already married." Zijuan stamped her feet anxiously, "We girls are also confused. We know that Uncle Yu is a married man, but we still go to Uncle Yu's side. Isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"

"It's not our turn to take care of it!"

Xueyan's attitude was also very firm.

"We are just two slaves serving others. We need to know clearly what should be taken care of and what should not be taken care of.

Besides, there is a master above the young lady, so it’s not our turn to talk. "

Seeing Xueyan's resolute attitude, Zijuan could only shut her mouth.

Fortunately, Daiyu came over at this time and said to the two girls: "Xueyan, Zicuckoo, let's go back to the house."

"It's...girl." The two girls responded quickly and followed Daiyu back to the house. However, they didn't see any of them. Their young lady's ears were already red with embarrassment.

When Daiyu returned to the house, Jia Yu was still standing on the deck, watching the fleet slowly approach the dock.

After more than a dozen ships docked at the dock, the ship boss quickly led a group of people ashore to start purchasing supplies.

And in a dark place at the dock, several pairs of eyes were staring at the fleet.

A slightly surprised voice sounded in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the man on the boat was really calm and calm. He didn't look like a young master who thought he was a successful young man. He came to a prosperous place like Xuzhou and didn't even get ashore."

Another hoarse voice also sounded: "That's natural. If this young man doesn't even have this ability, how can he gain the emperor's trust, and how can he dare to give him this mission?"

The voice from before snorted: "So what? Even if he doesn't get off the ship in Xuzhou, he will eventually get off the ship when he gets to Yangzhou. As long as he gets off the ship, we will have a way to contact him. No matter how hard he is, we will be able to contact him." You must bow down before gold, silver, and women.”

"That's true, but it still depends on how much the other companies are willing to offer?"
