Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 105 Daiyu Hosts a Banquet (1)

At lunch, Baoyu sat on the left of Mrs. Jia, Daiyu sat on the right, Xiangyun sat below Baoyu, followed by Sanchun, Baochai and Xing Xiuyan.Seeing Baoyu take her seat, although Daiyu already knew it in her heart, her eyes were still wide open, her mouth was slightly opened, and she covered her mouth with her hands, showing an expression of disbelief.

Daiyu looked at Sanchun, then at Baochai and others, and finally at Jiamu. Seeing that everyone looked at her in puzzlement, Daiyu quietly raised her eyes to look at Baoyu, and then quickly lowered her eyebrows.Pretending not to see anything.

Daiyu couldn't believe it, and Jiamu naturally saw it.Old lady Jia couldn't help frowning and said to herself: It seems that it's time for Baoyu to move out of the inner house.Baoyu naturally also saw Daiyu's disbelief, but he didn't know why.Then he smiled and asked: "Sister Lin, what is there to understand? Maybe the sisters will understand after thinking about it together."

As soon as Baoyu said this, Sanchun laughed secretly, and Xing Xiuyan quickly lowered his head.Even Baochai glanced at Baoyu, and quickly looked away. Only Shi Xiangyun glanced at Daiyu and asked, "Sister Lin, what's the fuss and confusion about?"

Daiyu actually didn't think that Shi Xiangyun would ask such a question. Although many people in her previous life thought that Shi Xiangyun was a straightforward, straightforward and generous girl, Daiyu never thought so, but now she asked so straightforwardly, it was a bit unexpected.Then he forced a smile, shook his head and remained silent.

Seeing Daiyu's embarrassment, Mother Jia hurriedly said, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold later." As soon as Mother Jia said it, no one dared to say anything more, even Shi Xiangyun just stared at her. After taking a look at Daiyu, he buried his head and began to eat.

Daiyu didn't eat anything, took a few mouthfuls, then hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks.After washing his hands, he sighed, then sat down at the table and waited with his head down.When Jia Mu saw that Daiyu ate very little, she thought she was very uncomfortable.But Jia's mother didn't know that when Jia Lian was in the south in the past, she also ate with Daiyu and others. If she knew, she didn't know what she would think in her heart.

After lunch, after sitting for a while, Daiyu returned to her yard.Baoyu wanted to go with him, but before Daiyu refused, Jia Mu said with a tiger's face: "Your sister Lin is still cleaning up, why are you making trouble? Hurry up and work hard, and I will beat you again!" Baoyu I had no choice but to go to the outer study in disgust, and then transferred to Lixiangyuan after a while.

When Daiyu returned to the yard, she had basically packed it up. Since Mother Jia said she was looking for someone to build a warm pavilion, Nanny Yang thought about building a small kitchen in the yard.They left a room in the backyard.The maids and Nanny Yang lived in the front yard, and the back yard was only used as a resting place for the sweeping lady, and there was another bathroom.

Sitting in the living room, Daiyu lamented that Mrs. Jia's prestige in Jia's mansion is still very high. After a while, two silver-red gauze door curtains have been made and hung up. They are indeed more beautiful than the crystal curtains alone before. A crystal curtain was sent by mandarin ducks. It was a little different from Daiyu's original one, but it was basically the same.

Daiyu smiled at Nanny Yang: "I thought I would live in my grandmother's courtyard, but I didn't expect to have my own small courtyard." Her face and eyes were full of satisfaction.Nanny Yang pampered Daiyu's head and said, "Now that the girl is growing up, she has to learn a lot of things."

Daiyu lowered her head and thought about it. Since she came to this world, she has been studying non-stop. Although she has her own preferences in it, she wants to adapt to this era more.After so many years, Daiyu felt that she seemed to have learned almost everything, and she wondered what Mammy Yang was supposed to learn?Daiyu looked up at Nanny Yang suspiciously.

Mother Yang smiled and said: "If the girl lives in the old lady's courtyard, it is needless to say, but now that the girl lives alone in the courtyard, it is time to hold a housewarming banquet and invite the girls and ladies in the house to come and have a good time. Firstly, it can be regarded as inviting them to know the door, and secondly, it is good to get acquainted with them when the girl arrives."

Daiyu thought for a while and asked: "Then invite Sister Wan and the girls from the Huang family?" Yang Nanny looked at Daiyu seriously and said, "When I go back in two days, the girl will naturally invite them to a banquet. Even the girls from Jia’s mansion are invited, but now they don’t have to, after all the girls here are just guests.”

After hearing this, Daiyu fell into deep thought, and sighed in her heart that all these years of planning were not in vain. Didn't Daiyu in the original work just live in the old lady Jia's courtyard as soon as she came?Every piece of paper belongs to the Jia family, where is the time to make decisions?I also understand Daiyu's helplessness in the original book.

Daiyu looked up at Nanny Yang and said with a smile: "I don't know how to arrange this housewarming banquet? Do I need to post a post? Are the dishes bought from outside? Or are the silver taels given to the kitchen in the house? Or are they made from our own house? Someone bring it over?"

Nanny Yang didn't answer, but instead asked, "What does the girl mean?" Daiyu wanted to sell it from outside, which would save worry and trouble, but after thinking about it, Daiyu said: "Then let's buy it from our mansion. If you’ve made it, send it over here, if we don’t have to treat guests, we can still use people from their mansion.”

After listening to Daiyu's words, Mother Yang sighed softly and said, "Could it be that Miss has forgotten that you live in this mansion now? If people in this mansion feel uncomfortable, how can they be better than Miss?" Yang As soon as Mammy finished speaking, Daiyu frowned and said, "I'm still begging them? If it doesn't work, we'll go home!" It's not hard to hear the dissatisfaction and anger in the words.

Seeing this, Nanny Yang said with a serious expression: "This is the relationship between people that girls need to learn! It's not about making friends with one or two people. How to make the people around you feel comfortable at any time, and you can also be comfortable , This is a university question. It is often easier for such people to achieve their goals."

Mother Yang's words made Daiyu think of Xue Baochai all of a sudden!Baochai is such a person, right?In the original book, even Daiyu was convinced by her in the end, didn't she?And what about Daiyu in the original book?He is aloof and arrogant, but in the end, even the servants and mother-in-law gossip about her tongue, and she has no good words, and her reputation is ruined.

Daiyu figured it out, so she looked up at Nanny Yang and said sincerely, "Please teach me silently!" Naturally, Nanny Yang did not refuse.

The next day Daiyu went to Wang Xifeng's courtyard and saw Mrs. Xing was there, teasing the little guy. Daiyu smiled and stepped forward and said, "Little guy, who is coming to see you?" Hearing Daiyu's voice The little guy immediately raised his head when he heard Daiyu's voice, and looked towards Daiyu. Daiyu took the rattle from Zhang Xin's family and brought it to the little guy.

This rattle is specially made. Two fat dolls are outlined with gold powder on the cowhide drum surface, and the gold-covered handle is shiny.When the little guy saw it, he reached out to grab it.Daiyu refused to give it to him, making the little guy anxious and angry.In the end, he threw Daiyu into his arms and nearly fell down, so Daiyu gave it to him.

The little guy got the rattle, so he ignored Daiyu and went to play by himself, so Daiyu was able to salute Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "Why are there so many gifts from my family?" Then he took the little guy, yes Wang Xifeng said: "I'm afraid Yu'er has something to do with you, so go ahead and ignore us, I'll watch the little guy."

Daiyu heard that Mrs. Xing also called the little guy like herself, so she couldn't help asking: "Why hasn't uncle picked out a name for the little guy? It would be nice to have a nickname." Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Wang Xifeng said: "Master always wants to choose a good one, how many words are there, and master is always dissatisfied." After speaking, Wang Xifeng walked into the house holding Daiyu's hand.

After returning to the room and just sitting down, Ping'er brought scented tea, Daiyu took a sip and said without waiting for Wang Xifeng to ask, "I'm not going to hide it from my sister-in-law, I really have something to do with my sister-in-law today." Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and looked Said to Daiyu, "I thought you didn't say anything!"

Daiyu tilted her head and smiled, "Sister-in-law's words are so funny! Since I'm here to look for you, why don't you tell me I'm here?" Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me, anyway, I'm a busy man, and anyone can order me around. I!"

After hearing this, Daiyu got up and took Wang Xifeng's arm and shook it: "My good sister-in-law, I plan to hold a housewarming banquet, and I will not invite anyone else, just the girls in our house. I beg my sister-in-law to help me make arrangements."

Wang Xifeng glanced at Daiyu, patted her hand and said, "If you don't invite me to eat, what should I do?" Daiyu hurriedly laughed and said, "How can I not invite my sister-in-law? Naturally, I want to invite my sister-in-law to eat with me." of!"

After saying that, Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Tell me, what are you going to do?" Daiyu turned around and took 50 taels of silver from Zhang Xin's family, handed it to Wang Xifeng and said, "I don't know the rules of the house either. My sister-in-law only has 50 taels to do it, if there is not enough, my sister-in-law will post it for me. I think there will be no leftovers, if there are any leftovers, I will just treat my sister-in-law to a drink."

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said: "If I dare to eat your meal, I have to work hard, maybe I have to pay for it?" Daiyu was not polite to her, she just smiled: "Who told you that you are my sister-in-law? ?” Seeing her like that, Wang Xifeng could only smile.

After taking the money, Xifeng passed it to Ping'er and said, "Go to the kitchen and see if there are any good things, let them keep them, and say that Miss Lin is going to fix a table of noodles, and there are good ones. Just keep it. I don't want the rest, I don't have to say that I still take advantage of the girls! Just say that Miss Lin rewarded them with wine."

Ping'er took the money, turned around and walked out.Daiyu talked and laughed with Wang Xifeng again, and the two went out to the yard to tease the little guy. Daiyu saw the little guy moving around, so she suggested: "Sister-in-law, why don't you spread a blanket on the ground and let the little guy crawl on his own?" , it’s also good to exercise, and the bones of the body can be stronger.”

When Madam Xing heard this, she said joyfully, "Isn't that what you said? Why didn't anyone think of it earlier?" As she spoke, she gave Wang Baoshan's family and Mrs. Fei a glance.Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Why did mother blame them? Even I didn't think of it. My sister has so many tricks in her little head!"

Daiyu returned to her room and began to write posts.After years of practice, among other things, this handwriting can be seen by people, and the round and thick face has two strengths in Daiyu's writing.Daiyu even drew a small lotus flower on each post.

In fact, Daiyu did this, and even brought her paintings into the mansion, more because she wanted to attract Xichun.I just don't know if it's feasible, after all, cherishing spring in Daiyu's heart is a bit pitiful, even worse than herself.

Zijuan personally took Xueyan Xiahe to deliver the post, which also made Xueyan and Xiahe a lot familiar with the courtyard in the mansion.

　There is another chapter later, it may be delayed, Gu Jing is here to apologize, there is something at home to delay.
