Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 100 The Old Bridge and the New Story (3)

Daiyu met Mrs. Xing, and sat for a while, seeing that it was getting late, she got up and said, "Yu'er will bid farewell to my aunt." Mrs. Xing hurriedly persuaded: "Why bother to go back so early? Stay here for a meal, Maybe your uncle came back earlier because he thought you were here, so it's good to see you, right?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "Auntie cherishes it and shouldn't say goodbye, but where is my relative? Yu'er has to go to the second aunt to say goodbye. I'm afraid the second aunt will blame me for being disrespectful. The first aunt Forgive me, let Yu'er be tolerated!"

Hearing what Daiyu said, Mrs. Xing didn't want to say anything more, but the little guy seemed to know that Daiyu was going to leave, so she dragged her tightly and opened her mouth to say something.Daiyu lost her temper for a while, and followed Jia Lian Wang Xifeng's way of nodding her forehead, nodding the little guy's tender face and saying: "What do you want to say to Auntie, baby?"

Naturally, the little guy couldn't say anything, and he blushed for a moment.Everyone saw that it was funny, and they all gathered around to tease him, but the little guy suddenly spit out a "treasure!" and everyone was shocked.Mrs. Xing stood up all at once.

Daiyu was also stunned, and hurriedly looked at Wang Xifeng and said, "Is he talking?" Just then the little guy said again: "Hug!"

This time everyone heard clearly, Wang Xifeng was so happy, she reached out to take the little guy, but who knew that the little guy just didn't want to be hugged by Daiyu!is not that right?The little guy stretched out his two lotus-root-like arms and rushed towards Daiyu. For a moment, Daiyu felt her heart soften.

Daiyu picked up the little guy vigorously and said: "Oh, the baby wants to be hugged by aunt, doesn't it?" She smiled at the little guy, but who knew that the little guy ignored Daiyu, and stretched out her hand to send a message to Daiyu. Catch the silk butterfly in the room.Daiyu lost her balance and almost fell down.

Jin'er and Wang Xifeng supported them together, Daiyu didn't care, she just thought that the little guy likes golden objects, so she hurriedly said to Jin'er: "Quickly, take out my golden bell, it's actually Forgot to give it to him."

For a while Jin'er took out two walnut-sized bells, one engraved with the Chinese zodiac, and the other engraved with fish, insects, flowers and birds.Auspicious words and auspicious clouds are engraved on the upper and lower sides.Mrs. Xing looked at it from a distance and praised: "It's exquisite!"
Jin'er shook the golden bell, and the little fellow immediately let go of the silk butterfly on Daiyu's head.He reached out and grabbed the golden bell again.For a while everyone laughed, saying that Daiyu had given everyone presents, but only his was missing, and now he found it by himself.

Daiyu also smiled and said: "I know he loves these little golden things, so he always carries some with him, otherwise he really can't deal with him, so he is a little money addict!" With a bun, Fang said goodbye.

Wang Xifeng led Daiyu back in the car, got out of the car, turned east, passed through an east-west hallway, and came to the Xiangyang Hall.After passing the gate of Yi, there is a large courtyard inside, with five main rooms on the top, and the deer-top ear rooms on both sides of the mountain.

Daiyu knew that this side was a formal inner room, a big corridor, directly out of the gate.Turning to look at Wang Xifeng, she saw that although there was nothing on her face, there was a look of unwillingness in her eyes.Then he gently pulled her and said softly: "A harmonious family is happy even if they live in a thatched shed." After hearing this, Wang Xifeng turned to look at Daiyu, paused for a while before showing a smile.

The two of them didn't go into the main room either, although Daiyu really wanted to see the ebony couplet inscribed by the old prince Beijing Jing depicted in the original book, but it was obviously not the time.Daiyu followed Wang Xifeng to the east, bypassing the three side rooms for a while, and passing through a moon gate to the east corridor, where there are also three small main rooms.

Wang Xifeng didn't have time to go in, so she raised her voice and said with a smile: "Auntie, I brought Sister Lin to say goodbye to you!" Wang Xifeng thought about making it clear early, and went back early.Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, someone opened the curtain and came out. It was Baoyu!

It turned out that after Daiyu bid farewell to Mrs. Jia, Mother Jia sent them to play by themselves. Tanchun and Xichun followed Baochai to Lixiangyuan, and asked Baoyu if he would go, but Baoyu said something was wrong, and came to Mrs. Wang's house by herself.It's just the thought of waiting for Daiyu to come.

Through the window screen, Baoyu could see from a distance, Daiyu who came hand in hand with Wang Xifeng.Baoyu hurriedly went to the door, and Wang Xifeng's voice had just arrived at the door.Baoyu even opened the curtain and went out in person.Looking at Baoyu's appearance, Mrs. Wang felt angry and anxious, and she couldn't help cursing inwardly: "What a foxy girl!"
Baoyu laughed and said, "It looks like it's from afar, it's really Sister Lin who's here! Come in, my wife is waiting." Then he closed the curtain for Daiyu himself.

When Daiyu saw Baoyu, she frowned slightly, then turned to look at Wang Xifeng.Obviously, Wang Xifeng did not expect to meet Baoyu here, so she couldn't help but smile at Daiyu, with a wry smile...

Since Baoyu came out to welcome her, Daiyu naturally couldn't lose her courtesy, so she knelt down and saluted, "Yes, Cousin Baoyu." Are you there?So he changed his mouth to Baoyu's cousin.

I don't know if Baoyu sounds awkward, but Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and thought to herself: What is this called?Well, in fact, Daiyu herself was quite uncomfortable, but Baoyu didn't seem to care, she just stretched out her hand and said, "Please, Sister Lin, please, Sister Feng."

Wang Xifeng took Daiyu's hand and followed Baoyu into the house. As soon as he entered, Wang Xifeng said to Mrs. Wang who was sitting on the kang: "I brought sister Lin to bid farewell to aunt. I didn't expect to meet brother Bao."

After speaking, he came to Mrs. Wang, and without waiting for Mrs. Wang to give up her seat, she sat down on a row of chairs next to the kang.

Daiyu hurriedly saluted Mrs. Wang and said, "Second Aunt, Yu'er is here to say goodbye."

A Kang table is set horizontally on the Kang in the main room. On the table are books and tea sets, and there are half-worn blue satin backrests and pillows on the west side of the east wall.Mrs. Wang used to sit at the bottom of the west side, and she was also on a half-worn blue satin backrest.Seeing the two of them coming in, they gave way to the east.

Now that Wang Xifeng sat down on the chair, it was inconvenient for her to say anything more. Seeing Daiyu salute, she hurriedly ordered: "There are so many salutes, come and sit next to me."

Daiyu knew where Mrs. Wang was sitting at this time, and she was afraid that it would be a prudish place as guessed in the original book, so Daiyu postponed, "It would be great to sit with Sister-in-law Lian." Sit down on the chair.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they sat down, Jia Baoyu also came to sit next to each other, Daiyu couldn't help frowning slightly, but she didn't want to show anything in front of Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang also frowned and said, "Aren't you going to study? Carefully, I come back to check. If you can't answer, you will be in the queue for a while."

All of a sudden the servant girls brought tea, Daiyu looked at it while drinking tea, sure enough the decorations and dresses of these servant girls were even more luxurious, these second and third class little maids were actually on par with Hanxiao Zhixuan beside her.I couldn't help frowning secretly in my heart, and felt funny again.

Mrs. Wang saw that she couldn't talk to Baoyu, so she ignored her. She said a few words to Mrs. Wang and said to Daiyu: "Your three sisters are all very good, even Miss Xing and Miss Baoyu are also very good. People. In the future, I will read, read, learn needlework, or occasionally joke around, and I will not be the ones who are easy to fight and talk."

Daiyu knew that it was clearly the tongue-in-cheek incident that had happened in Mrs. Jia's room before, but she was not surprised.I only heard Mrs. Wang go on to say: "It's just that this evil root is the 'devil king of the world' at home. You just ignore him in the future." At this point, Mrs. Wang took a look at Baoyu and said, "You sisters dare not mess with him."

When Mrs. Wang said this, Daiyu sneered in her heart and said: Who cares to touch your broken stone?As long as he doesn't come to provoke me!Wang Xifeng was surprised, when did her aunt change her temper?This Baoyu is her precious lump, why has it become a troublesome child now?
Only Baoyu was dissatisfied when he heard this, and said, "Where is it like what your wife said?" As soon as she said a word, Mrs. Wang gave him a cross look.Baoyu couldn't help shrinking his neck, sat back, but said bitterly in his heart: "Why did my wife say such things to me in front of Sister Lin today?"
But Daiyu laughed at this moment and said, "I heard my mother talk about Cousin Baoyu before. Although Cousin Baoyu is very stubborn, he treats all the sisters very well. Besides, when I come, naturally I only stay with my sisters. The brothers are naturally from another room in another courtyard, so there is no reason to mess with them? Besides, men and women have different seats when they are seven years old, I am afraid it will be rare to see them when I come."

Hearing what Daiyu said, Mrs. Wang also smiled slightly and said: "You will know when you come. He was loved by the old lady since he was a child, and he was pampered with his sisters." Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang did not continue. After speaking, he only took a sip of tea.

Daiyu also took the opportunity to get up and said: "There is still business at home. Although I really want to listen to my second aunt's teachings, I am afraid that it will not be good if I go back late. Yu'er will say goodbye to my second aunt. I will come to the mansion to see you in the future."

Although Mrs. Wang was not happy when she heard this, she still said kindly on her face: "Since this is the case, you can go today. If you have anything to do, just ask your sister Feng. You are also very familiar with each other." Daiyu Nodding her head in agreement, Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "What's the use of looking for me? I have to trouble my aunt."

Mrs. Wang just nodded and said nothing, so Wang Xifeng and Daiyu left together.Seeing that Daiyu was leaving, Baoyu felt reluctant and got up to see her off, but was stopped by Mrs. Wang.

When they reached the gate, Jia Lian, Zhang Xin and others had been waiting for a long time. Daiyu thought that since Zhang Xin was escorting her, she would not need Jia Lian to send her off again, so she said, "There is a manager here, why bother brother to go again? Brother and Sister-in-law, let's go back now. If the master has explained the matter, if you have the letter, send someone to inform me."

When Daiyu said this, Jia Lian remembered and said, "If you don't tell me, I'd forget. Before you went to the ancestor's house, I went to the Ministry of Rites. My father said that Mr. Huang had agreed and said that I would see you at the Yamen tomorrow. You. I just don’t know whether to let you pass by yourself? Or send someone to pick you up.”

After hearing this, Daiyu nodded and said: "Since that's the case, I'll go back and wait. If there is no other news, I will go there by myself, just because I am afraid of being abrupt." After speaking, she got into the carriage with the support of Jiner Zhier.

Back in the Lin Mansion, the sun had already set in the west, but it was even hotter.After Daiyu washed and washed, she lay limp on the imperial concubine's couch, and couldn't help but miss the swimming pool in Gusu.As soon as she thought of it, Daiyu sent someone to find Qiluo. Qiluo didn't know when Daiyu was looking for her, so she hurried over. Seeing Daiyu holding a fan in one hand and a book in the other, she looked like she didn't think there was something wrong.

Seeing Qiluo coming, Daiyu quickly put down the scroll in her hand, looked at Qiluo with Jingliang eyes and said, "I shouldn't be looking for you for this matter, but Aunt Lin is ill and I don't want to disturb you." Qiluo laughed quickly: "Look What did the girl say? Aren’t servants just serving girls? Since Aunt Lin is ill, if there is anything wrong, just tell me to do it.”

Daiyu didn't expect Qiluo to be so impatient that she wouldn't listen to her finish.Then he smiled and said: "So I would trouble you to tell Uncle Lin that you would search around the city for me to see where there are hot springs and where there are mountain springs. If they are not in one place, they will be bought separately.”

Hearing Daiyu's ambiguity, Qiluo asked, "Should I buy mountain land? Or a ready-made Zhuangzi? The girl must have an explanation." Daiyu thought for a while and said, "It's all right. If there is mountain land, I can buy it. It’s also very good for us to clean up by ourselves, even if we don’t buy the Zhuangzi and rebuild it. The only thing is, after I buy it, I have to go and see it myself before I can start construction.”

Hearing what Daiyu said, Qiluo said with some embarrassment: "Miss, do you want to see it for yourself?" Daiyu laughed and said, "How can you draw a blueprint if you don't see it for yourself?" Qiluo heard that Daiyu was for painting Then he smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it? I hired a special master to help with the design." After speaking, she turned and ran out without waiting for Daiyu to say anything else.
