Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 102
The afternoon nap was restless, and Daiyu kept tossing and turning.Seeing this, Nanny Yang could only shake her head, knowing that Daiyu was early wisdom, but in her heart she hoped that she would not think it through, such things were not good after all.

But Mother Yang's prayer was obviously not heard by the great gods. After tossing and turning for a long time, Daiyu suddenly sat up, her face was a little pale, her eyes were a little distracted, beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks, and her clothes were already wet through.

Han Xiaoyuan dozed off at the side while shaking the fan, Daiyu suddenly sat up which startled her.Seeing Daiyu's expression again, she panicked and shouted, "Miss, what's the matter with you? Sister Jin'er, come here!"

Before Daiyu could return to her senses and answer, Hanxiao had already called Jin'er in a flustered manner. Jin'er was doing needlework outside, so she panicked when she heard Hanxiao's flustered call, and she didn't even care about dropping the needlework basket on the ground.

Hearing Hanxiao's shout, Daiyu came back to her senses, raised her head and looked at her smilingly, she didn't smile to appease her, or softly reprimanded her in a low voice.Daiyu said to Han with a dull smile, "Go and ask Nanny Yang to come over."

Jin'er ran in just in time to hear Daiyu's words, and asked nervously, "What's the matter, miss?" After speaking, she saw Daiyu's face was sweating, and her face was not very good.She didn't see Daiyu's face when she just sat up, but now she is much better.

Seeing that Daiyu's clothes were soaked, she hurriedly said, "Madam Yang can go anywhere for a while, first boil hot water for the girl, and find out a change of clothes, she's sweating all over, if you don't take a bath, you'll catch a cold. "

But Daiyu suddenly grabbed Jin'er's busy hand and said, "Now, right away, right away! Go find Madam Yang. I'm fine here. Just get a basin of hot water to wipe it off. You don't need to take a bath." After finishing speaking, she got down It's cold.

Jin'er was also taken aback, it seemed that the girl had changed a lot when she arrived in the capital, she had never experienced such emotions before, Jin'er couldn't help being a little startled, the girl was afraid that something might happen to her!So Jin'er didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, she turned around and went out, and asked Jichun to go to Nanny Yang's house.

Nanny Yang and Dai Yuben live in the same courtyard now, and today's lunch break is not very comfortable. The panicked cry just now with a smile has already awakened Nanny Yang. She was about to come here at this moment, but Jichun happened to run away He came in and said, "Miss, ask Nanny Yang to go over."

After hearing this, Nanny Yang's heart sank, she still figured it out!For a moment, he hesitated, how should he tell her?What can I say?What should I say?

While thinking about it, Yang Nanny walked towards Daiyu's room, sighing uncontrollably all the way, which made Jichun very curious, but she didn't dare to ask Yang Nanny.Seeing Nanny Yang enter the house, she ran away.

Nanny Yang came very quickly, and Daiyu was still washing and grooming at that time, after such a while, Daiyu also calmed down a lot, she didn't send the maids to talk to Nanny Yang like this, but turned to Nanny Yang Smiling slightly, he said, "Mother, wait for me a moment."

She didn't put on makeup either, she just pulled a bra behind her head and changed into fine cotton clothes.After Daiyu sat down beside Nanny Yang, she said to Jin'er again: "Bring a pot of tea here, I'll have a chat with Nanny, you wait outside."

Jin'er said to himself that it was true, and then retreated, taking everyone out of the room.So Daiyu got up in person, opened all the windows in the house, stood by the windows for a while, then turned to look at Mammy Yang and asked, "Did Mammy guess it already? Or is Yu'er's guess wrong?" At this time, Daiyu's eyes seemed to be able to read people's hearts.

Although Mammy Yang knew what Daiyu was talking about in her heart, she pretended not to know what she was talking about with a smile at this time: "Could it be that the girl is sleepy? What are you talking about without thinking? Mammy can't understand." Regarding Daiyu Yu's eyes, but avoided seeing.

When Daiyu heard Yang Nanny said so, she could only remain silent.She really didn't know how to say the following words... Maybe...shouldn't bring it up...

When Jin'er brought the tea, she saw Madam Yang sitting at the table silently, while Daiyu was standing in front of the window, frowning.Secretly: What's the matter?Both the girl and Nanny Yang were very strange.After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Daiyu's expression changed only after County Lord Wan left.But I can't figure out why?
Although Jin'er couldn't figure it out, she didn't dare to stay here and continue guessing.Gently put down the tea tray and backed out, guarding outside the door according to Daiyu's wishes from a distance.

When Nanny Yang saw Daiyu standing upright by the window, with a tough and proud figure, she looked extraordinarily lonely at this moment.Nanny Yang couldn't help but said distressedly: "Why bother thinking about what's there? After all, it has nothing to do with you! Even if you figure it out, so what?"

Hearing Nanny Yang's words, Daiyu raised her head sharply and said, "Is it really irrelevant? If it gets out..." Before Daiyu could finish speaking, Nanny Yang interrupted her, and said angrily, "Who Has it been passed on? County Master Wan? Or a girl? Or a nanny? I can’t do it?! Since County Master Wan didn’t say anything today, then in the future, the girl should just pretend she doesn’t know, why bother to think so hard?”

After Mama Yang finished speaking, she panted heavily, but fell silent again.Daiyu was also silent for a while, but Daiyu felt that her heart seemed to be much more relaxed, not as depressed as before.Can't help laughing at himself: Is it because I have been in this world for a long time and have been assimilated?Even worried about this kind of thing.

Looking at Nanny Yang who was still panting heavily at the table, she suddenly felt guilty.Daiyu came to the table and filled a cup of tea for Nanny Yang, and sat down next to Nanny Yang, but didn't know what to say.The two were silent like this, but they didn't look dull.

After a while, just when Daiyu was about to speak, Jin'er reported at the door: "Miss, the Huangfu sent a car to pick up the girl." After hearing this, Daiyu quickly raised her head to look at Mother Yang, and asked Said: "Why do you come here at this hour?"

Those wet eyes made Yang Nanny's heart soften.Nanny Yang patted Daiyu's head and smiled, "Could it be that we have to wait for Mrs. Huang to pick you up in person after he leaves the office? Of course Madam Huang will pick you up and see you after Mrs. Huang leaves the office."

After listening to Nanny Yang's words, Daiyu washed up briefly, and counted the presents to take to Huang's house.Accompanied by Nanny Yang and Zhixuan with a smile on her face, Fang got into the blue-roofed and green-curtained double-wheeled carriage driven by the Huang family.When I rushed to Huang's house, it was not yet time to go down to the Yamen.Mrs. Huang Qiushi met Daiyu accompanied by her younger brother and sister Luoshi.

The two Mrs. Huang saw that Daiyu was wearing a light pink dark dress, with a collar and skirt decorated with rose red, and a green smoked rose gauze skirt with three layers of skirts, embroidered lotus leaves layer by layer, and new lotus flowers embroidered on the skirt.The cloud hair on the head is fixed with only two jade hairpins, decorated with a few small pearl flowers.There are no gold locks, collars, beads and chains on the items, which are delicate but not extravagant, delicate but dignified.

Looking at the various gifts Daiyu sent, most of them are Jiangnan soil instruments, or preserved fish, or kelp, or snail boxes, as well as Daiyu's homemade scented tea, fruit tea, etc.Although there is nothing precious, there is hard work everywhere.

Mrs. Huang gave a separate one. It was a loop of velvet brocade with a wide forehead sewed by Daiyu herself. It was inlaid with a finger-sized south bead, surrounded by a circle of rice beads, round and shiny. According to Daiyu The main bead was found by Huang Jiyun himself.Although there is nothing else, it is more thoughtful and more precious than all the previous objects.

The two Mrs. Huang also had a much better impression of Daiyu, they couldn't help nodding in their hearts, and said inwardly, "As expected of Ji Yun's teaching.The smile on his face became more sincere and kind.

Mrs. Huang, Qiu Shi happily withdrew a bracelet from her wrist and said, "I don't have anything good for you. This is my dowry back then, and it's also the prize I got from writing my first poem back then. I'll give it to you today." Yes, your sisters want me but are reluctant to give it."

As soon as Daiyu heard that it was something that Ms. Huang's Qiu family valued very much, she immediately held it with both hands as a salute.

Luo Shi laughed and said: "My sister-in-law gave me such a kind heart, but it made me embarrassed." Then he took a lotus hairpin from his head and said: "It's not a precious item, but it matches your clothes today very well. Don't be disgusted as a gift, I don't have the talent of your aunt to win Princess Yunxiang's bracelet." After speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed.

When Daiyu heard this, she hurriedly said, "How dare Lin Hui take such a precious thing?" Then she wanted to return it to Mrs. Huang.

Mrs. Huang, Qiu Shi, said: "Since I gave it to you, there is no reason to take it back? You just have to study hard and win me a good fortune in the future."

Daiyu felt warm in her heart, nodded and said: "I will live up to my aunt's expectations, Lin Hui must study hard."

After eating another cup of tea, Mrs. Rhubarb took Daiyu to see Mrs. Huang. Mrs. Huang got the forehead wipe, so happy Mrs. Huang was so happy, especially when she looked at the pearl, she couldn't stop. Ask about Huang Jiyun's recent situation.

One must know that Huang Jiyun has not returned home for two or three years, Mrs. Huang misses her youngest son very much, but she also knows that she can't stop persuading him, seeing his only student today, and it is a female student, she is naturally happy in her heart.This female student is also very courteous, which shows that the teaching is excellent.

In the old Mrs. Huang's room, Daiyu saw some of Huang Jiyun's nieces and daughters, all of whom were graceful and scholarly.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and Mrs. Da Huang sent some girls to play by herself. Dai Yufang followed the girls to the garden.

In the evening, after dinner, Huang Mengxue was able to return home. First, he met Mrs. Huang, and then heard his wife talk about Daiyu, and she was full of praise.Accompanied by Mrs. Dahuang, he met Daiyu with the main room.

As soon as Daiyu entered the main room, she saw a middle-aged man sitting on the first seat, his temples were already gray, but his complexion was ruddy and full of energy.It's hot today, and he only wears a dark blue homely Confucian gown, not as elegant as his father's, but more dignified.

Daiyu bowed profusely and said, "Lin Hui has met the Uncle." But Huang Mengxue said with a straight face, "Who is your Uncle?" Surprised, he thought to himself: Could it be that the master is dissatisfied with Ji Yun, a female student?Or do you dislike the fact that this woman is not allowed to enter the examination room?

Daiyu was even more disturbed, thinking that she was not Shibo!But she tried her best to stabilize her mind and saluted again: "Lin Hui paid a visit to Mr. Huang, and was ordered by his master to send a letter from Mr. Huang's family." After finishing speaking, Daiyu wanted to take out the letter and hand it to Huang Mengxue, thinking: Complete the entrustment of the master as soon as possible , leave earlier.

Huang Mengxue raised her voice after hearing Daiyu's "Master Huang" and said, "Master Huang?! Is this how your master taught you etiquette?"

These words are very serious, even the Qiu family next to her is also embarrassed, thinking that Huang Mengxue is deliberately finding fault with the little girl, and this little girl looks very good to her.He quietly tugged at Huang Mengxue's sleeve, but Huang Mengxue ignored it.

Hearing this, Daiyu was already talking about her master, and she even said that she was not very polite, she didn't know what she was doing, and she didn't know what grievances the brothers had.He secretly thought that it might be related to the death of Lord Huang, so he lowered his head and dared not speak easily.

Huang Mengxue stared at Daiyu for a while, seeing that Daiyu bowed her head and said nothing, neither distinguishing nor wronged, neither flustered nor flattering.There was a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and he said: "Isn't your master's elder brother an uncle?! That kid was enlightened by me personally back then."

After saying a word, Daiyu suddenly raised her head, her face full of bewilderment.Seeing Daiyu's expression, even Qiu couldn't help but smile.Busily asked the maid to help Daiyu up, Daiyu's legs trembled a little when she stood up, but she still walked steadily back to the next chair and sat down beside her.

Seeing Daiyu like this, Huang Mengxue calmed down and said, "Give me the letter that Ji Yun asked you to bring." Daiyu took out the letter from her sleeve and held it in front of Huang Mengxue.Huang Mengxue took it with a nod, only glanced at it twice, then frowned.

After pondering for a while, Huang Mengxue stared at Daiyu and asked, "Did Ji Yun personally hand over this letter to you?" Daiyu replied calmly, "This letter was written by the master in my father's study in Yangzhou, and the ink was still wet when I handed it to my disciple." Because Huang Mengxue just said that it was not the uncle but the uncle, so Daiyu claimed to be a disciple this time.

When Huang Mengxue heard this, she asked anxiously: "Do you know the content of the letter?" Daiyu nodded and shook her head, "I know a little, but I don't know how to write it. When the master discussed with my father, the disciple waited on him, and then personally guarded the letter." until the master handed over the letter to the disciple." Naturally, Daiyu would not say that she was sitting beside Huang Jiyun talking to each other.

Huang Mengxue frowned deeply after hearing what Daiyu said.After a while, Huang Mengxue lowered her voice and asked: "Who else have you read this letter?" Daiyu smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, this letter has never left me, and I have never shown it to others, nor given it to others. Speaking."

Huang Mengxue suddenly asked in a cold voice: "I didn't mention anything about your uncle, how did he know that you wanted to send me a family letter?" Daiyu was stunned for a moment and then calmly replied: "Only speaking of family letters, master and uncle are brothers, It is not an exaggeration to have family letters, and it is reasonable for disciples to send letters."

Seeing Daiyu's calm expression and calm speech, Huang Mengxue nodded in satisfaction and said, "Ji Yun has taken in a good apprentice!" After speaking, he looked at Qiu Shi and laughed.Then he lit the letter with the candlestick until it was reduced to ashes.Fang said to Daiyu: "Your master's letter said that you would neglect your homework if he didn't come back, and asked you to study with me for two months."

Seeing Daiyu raised her head and looked at herself in surprise, Huang Mengxue smiled and said, "I'm only on errand every day, and I don't have time to spare. You come here once every five days, just for my school exam homework." Daiyu turned around and squatted down with a smile promise to come down.

Huang Mengxue left the homework after the school exam immediately, so she sent someone to send Daiyu to bid farewell to Mrs. Huang, and asked her eldest son to personally escort her back.

After Daiyu left, Huang Mengxue said, "No wonder Ji Yun is willing to accept her as an apprentice. She is so clever! But he is very good at learning Jingzi Shiji, and he has already mastered it. He is many times better than those students like Shufeng. It's just that the poems and songs are not good, Mrs. Lao should put more thought into it."

Qiu also said with a smile: "When we first met, I thought it was Yong Xu's talent, but now it seems that if it is a man, it must be Wang Zuo's ability." After speaking, the husband and wife shook their heads and sighed.I don't know whether to sigh that Daiyu doesn't have the talent to sing Xu, or is it a pity that she is a daughter?
　This chapter is a bit difficult to write, a woman should not underestimate a foreigner, and although Huang Jiyun can be regarded as a parent, his elder brother is not, so here Huang Mengxue specifically emphasizes not to talk about the relationship with Lin Ruhai, only discussing from Huang Jiyun, as Uncle Huang Mengxue and Yu Daiyu are cousins, but as uncles, they are parents!Do you have any comments?Ahaha~ Gu Jing found out that he is too smart~(*^__^*) Hee hee... Isn't he a bit of Wang Zuozhi? O(∩_∩)O haha~
