Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 19

Zijuan stood aside and watched this harmonious scene, but felt a little wronged in her heart.When I was in Jia's house, the girl relied heavily on her in everything, even Xueyan and Wang Momo had to go back.Now that she has come to the Lin family, although the girl treats her very well, she is never as caring as before.Honglian and Bihen take care of most of the affairs around them, and they also like Xueyan and Ziyuan to make fun in front of them. Even Lan Ling, who usually doesn't talk much, looks a little more favored than herself.The servants of the Lin family were always polite to her, as if she was just an outsider.Looking at Daiyu, Zijuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss...won't you go to Jia's house tomorrow?" It's always good to relax. Besides, the old lady must miss the girl very much."

Daiyu looked at Zijuan quietly for a while, then smiled faintly and said: "I forgot, sister Zijuan's parents are still at Jia's house. If sister Zijuan feels that she misses them, she might as well go back. Take a look. Tomorrow, I will go back with the people who replied to the letter and have a look. It’s okay to stay for two more days.” Zijuan was stunned, and looked at Daiyu’s smiling face coldly, suddenly feeling a little at a loss.But Daiyu didn't look at her, got up and said: "I'm a little sleepy, you guys go to rest too." Xueyan nodded, and said goodbye to Daiyu, and pulled Zijuan who was still in a daze to back out.

Zijuan was dragged by the snow geese to the room, feeling a little depressed, looked at the snow geese beside her and said, "Why doesn't the girl like to go to Jia's house?"

Xueyan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal if the girl doesn't want to go to Jia's house. What do we girls care about?" Zijuan said sadly: "After all, it's the girl's grandmother's house, and Jia's family also treats her." The girl is not thin, wouldn't this make people say that the girl is not filial?" Xueyan let go of Zijuan's hand, looked at her up and down for a while, and then said strangely: "That is the girl's grandmother's house, and it is It's not the girl's own home. Every year and festival, the old lady's birthday comes to greet her in person, and she is not lacking in etiquette. How can she be unfilial? Sister Zijuan, you are really strange." Zijuan said a little bit: "I'm not This means..." Xueyan smiled and said: "I don't care what sister Zijuan means. We do what the girl says, this is our duty as a girl. Even if the girl really does something wrong, there is a mother We don't need to worry about persuading Housekeeper Lin." Zijuan remained silent, and followed Xueyan back to the room.

In Daiyu's study, while pouring tea for Daiyu, Honglian said, "Girl, that girl Zijuan should be more careful." In the past two years, Zijuan talked about how good Jia's family was if she had nothing to do, and asked Honglian to wait for her. The girls who grew up in Lin's parents were very bored.Daiyu took a sip of her tea and said softly, "Her parents are both at Jia's house, so it's no wonder she can't settle down." Honglian snorted and said, "It's useless to keep a girl with a heart. In two years, she should get married, and she will be married at that time. The girl doesn't have to worry about her." As soon as Honglian finished speaking, she suddenly looked out the window and said sharply, "Who is it?!"

"Huangfu Bingyan came to visit late at night, I'm sorry." A tall and straight blue figure appeared at the window, Daiyu couldn't help being stunned.Huangfu Bingyan was still wearing military uniform, shouldn't he be attending the celebration banquet in the palace at this time?

"Why is Brother Huangfu here?" Daiyu asked, but she didn't intend to invite him in.Huangfu Bingyan naturally understood what she meant, but with a slight smile on his lips, he said, "Send some things to Mo Yu, and seeing that the light in your study is still on, I thought I'd come over and take a look before I rested." Dai Yu also knew that Huangfu Bingyan was not a frivolous person, but he was a little puzzled why he had to deliver something to Mo Yu late at night, and frowned slightly, but he was not angry in his heart and just said: "Congratulations to Brother Huangfu for his return from victory , I must be tired, so let’s go back home to rest first.” Huangfu Bingyan nodded, took out a box and said, “I heard from Moyu that you have chest tightness and asthma, this may help.” Put the box on the window and No more words, turned around and left, and disappeared in an instant.

Guren went over to fetch the box, opened it and saw that there was a very simple bracelet inside.The entire chain is made of nineteen pink water jades of the same size, and the most eye-catching one is the pigeon egg-sized bead in the middle that glows slightly with purple light.The bead is lingering with purple air and also faintly exudes a little fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.Stretching out his hand to touch it lightly, a faint warmth seemed to slowly spread to the veins of the limbs.Honglian couldn't help but sighed softly, "What a strange bead. But it's best for girls." Daiyu was born weak, and it wasn't really a disease. It was just that she was afraid of the cold every winter, and it was easier when the seasons changed. Chest tightness and shortness of breath.Doctors can't cure the diseases brought by the womb, they can only adjust slowly.

Daiyu took the bead chain and didn't know what to say.I always felt that it was a little weird that Huangfu Bingyan gave her this thing.But he had good intentions, it would be a bit petty if he returned it, and he didn't know how to deal with it.Honglian had already picked it out and put it on Daiyu's hands.Sure enough, the soft warmth spread from Daiyu's wrist to her whole body.There was warmth in the slightly cold fingers.Honglian smiled and said, "It really is a good thing."

Seeing that Daiyu was still staring at something lost in thought, he smiled and said: "If the girl is upset, just ask Young Master Moyu to show more filial piety to the King of Flame." But in his heart, he wondered if the King of Flame was interested in the girl?It's a pity that although the girl is smart, she is still young, I'm afraid she can't understand these things.Naturally, she wouldn't say it either, it's up to her to decide whether the girl likes it or not, so girls like them should interfere.

Daiyu didn't take it seriously when she rejected the Jia family's invitation.It's just that Mo Yu has been running more diligently to Yan Wang's mansion these days.Not only do I report to the office on time every morning, but I also go there for a while after school in the afternoon until it is almost dark before returning home reluctantly.Daiyu could only laugh and said, "I'm afraid Mo'er kisses Yan Wang more than my own sister." Of course, there is also a hint of jealousy.Her own younger brother is more docile to an outsider than she is to herself, so Daiyu will naturally feel a little jealous.But she also understands that Mo Yu is a boy after all, and boys always admire and get close to those who are stronger than themselves.If it were not for Huangfu Bingyan, she was also afraid that she would be powerless to hold Mo Yuyang, how could she be as handsome and tall as she is now.

Because winter is coming soon, Daiyu has already started to prepare winter clothes for Moyu.Mo Yu's clothes have always been sewn by her own hands, and Mo Han is always envious of each piece, which is carefully read.If he wasn't taller than Mo Yu, he might have carried Mo Yu's clothes back to the palace.

"Girl, the people from Jia's family are here." Nanny Lin came over in person and stood by the door to announce.Now Lin An is in charge of the big and small affairs of the mansion, and Nanny Lin follows her husband to take care of the girls and women in the mansion, very careful and thoughtful.It doesn't matter if someone from Jia's family came, but this time, Nanny Lin frowned a little, and hurriedly came to tell Daiyu herself, "It's the old lady and the second wife of Jia's family who are here." Daiyu heard She said, the needle and thread in her hand stopped, and Xueyan, who was helping her, asked curiously: "Why did the old lady of Jia's family come to our house in person?" Mother Lin said: "The old slave doesn't know, I'm afraid some What's the matter?" Daiyu stood up and said, "Nurse Lin invites grandma to serve tea in the hall. Mo'er doesn't go to school today, so send someone to Yanwang Mansion to call Mo'er back."

Nanny Lin nodded in agreement, and withdrew respectfully.Daiyu took the snow goose back to her room and changed her clothes before going out to meet guests.

Lin An personally greeted Jia Mu and the others, took their seats in the lobby, and immediately brought tea to the girl.Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were astonished, and Mrs. Wang felt a deep hatred in her heart when she saw the elegant but noble decorations in the hall.They thought that the Lin family didn't have much wealth other than the two houses in the capital.But along the way, this Linfu courtyard is full of flowers, and the strange mountains and rocks in the garden are even rich and hard to buy.The pavilions, terraces and pavilions are also meticulously crafted everywhere, but they are not crafty, so they are naturally refined.Also, although the hall is not as magnificent as the Jia family's, how could Mother Jia and the others have seen countless treasures, how could they not recognize the extraordinary value of all these things?Even the servants of Lin's mansion are well-trained, advancing and retreating properly, and there is a faint warmth in the whole mansion.

Sitting on the side, Xichun thought to herself: "No wonder Sister Lin doesn't want to go to Jia's house, if she has such a family, she wouldn't want to go either.

After a while, Daiyu arrived with Honglian and the others, "Yu'er pays respects to grandma."

Mother Jia quickly helped Daiyu up and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many days, but Yu'er has become more and more outstanding." Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "If grandma has anything to do, just ask someone to let me know. Why do you still work on you?" Go there in person." While speaking, Lan Ling and Bihen had already waved their hands to take Yuanyang and wait for the girl to go down to have tea.Daiyu sat down beside Jia Mu, looked at Sanchun and Baochai, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the sisters are getting better." But he won't come?" Daiyu laughed and said, "Mo'er is very naughty now, if I don't stay at home to watch, he might not even be able to go home."

Seeing that Mo Yu hadn't come out yet, Jia's mother asked, "Did Mo'er go to school?"

Daiyu said: "I went out to play. Yu'er has asked people to go out to find him. I will definitely come back to see my grandmother in a while." While talking, Zijuan brought tea to Daiyu, and Jiamu smiled. Hehe looked at Zijuan and said: "Yu'er is still good at raising people, this Zijuan girl is more outstanding in Yu'er's house than before." Daiyu smiled slightly: "Sister Zijuan still often misses her grandmother's house. Yes. If grandma misses her, it’s okay to take her back. Sister Zijuan’s parents are both at Jia’s house, so she must miss her often.” Mother Jia was stunned and said, “It’s hers that Zijuan can follow Yu’er. Luckily, her parents must be very happy." Daiyu lowered her head and took a sip of her tea without saying a word.
