Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 4 I am Daiyu
As soon as Jia Min took a rest here, Qi Luo gave Mu Mian a wink and quietly retreated out.She could see very clearly that the wife had already moved her mind to deal with those people in Dongkua courtyard.That's all for the others, but Zhi'er grew up together since she was a child, just like her own sister, Qi Luo doesn't believe that she will harm the little master.

Qi Luo was not born in a family, and her relatives have long been lost. These sisters who grew up together are like blood relatives.Zhi'er was almost doomed this time, Qi Luo didn't dare to let her go without permission, but she had to do her best to feel at ease.

When they came to the Xikua courtyard where Lin Yao lived, Jin'er and the others saw her from afar, wondering why she was sent here just after Mrs. Han left?

Jin'er put down the fan in her hand and went up to meet her.Holding her hand affectionately, he said with a smile: "My good sister, is my wife worried about me so much? I just left here, and then I sent my sister here again?"

Qi Luo knew that she had misunderstood her, so she quickly laughed and said, "I'm not allowed to come and see you?" Then she squeezed Jin'er's hand quietly.

Jin'er understood that Qi Luo was looking for something to say, so she took Qi Luo to guard the medicine stove together, and asked the little girl to back away from her. Said: "I'm going to bring a bowl of tea for my sister." After speaking, he took the snow geese and ran away.

"Sister, tell me, why are you looking for me?" Jin'er also has a straightforward temper, and understands that Qi Luo is looking for something for herself. "You and I can't do anything about this, we can only ask the girl." Qi Luo hesitated for a moment, "When do you think the girl will get up?" Related to Zhier.

She and Zhi'er entered the mansion in the same year, lived in the same house, and became Jia Min's first maid at the same time, and were arranged next to the girl and the uncle. The girl and the uncle usually ate and played together. Zhi'er's affection is even deeper.He anxiously looked around and lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "But the wife has a charter?"

Qi Luo frowned and nodded: "I saw that my wife was about to deal with it in the morning, but I was afraid that I remembered something in the middle and said something else." Jin'er also turned pale when he heard it: "I see I'm afraid I won't be able to get up until midday. I was very tired yesterday, but I woke up somehow this morning. I got up and made a fuss for a long time before I fell asleep. My wife came in just now to see how sweet the sleep was. Already." After thinking for a while, he said: "Madam's sister kapok is not enough, why don't sister go back first, and when the girl wakes up, I will tell the girl about this and see what the girl means, anyway We used to be together a lot in the past, and there is some affection, if the girl is willing to take care of this matter, she will naturally pass." Lin Yao didn't wake up, and Qi Luo couldn't help it, so she had to run back in a hurry.

After Qi Luo left, Jin'er asked Han Xiao to come over and help guard the medicine stove, wiped her hands and went into the house, seeing that Lin Yao was still awake, she walked back and forth hesitantly.Little did she know that Lin Yao had woken up a long time ago, but just lay there without moving.

When I woke up yesterday, I was overwhelmed with things. At night, I was tired and sleepy. Looking back at this moment, I was covered in cold sweat.I crossed over by myself!How could this be?Thinking about being Lin Daiyu instead of Lin Yao from now on, I felt an indescribable hesitation in my heart.He also remembered that when Lin Ruhai hugged himself in his arms yesterday, he was full of touch and attachment to that fatherly love.

For a while, my past life, Lin Daiyu's past life in the book, and the two past life experiences were entangled in my mind, and there was an indescribable smell. Now I was lying in annoyance, and I heard the footsteps walking back and forth, Unknowingly, he became more restless and irritable, so he sat up and said in a bad tone: "Sister, what are you doing? The floor is smooth, so I don't need you to polish it!"

Seeing the girl woke up, Jin'er panicked for a moment, thinking that someone should be called in to freshen up, and wanted to take advantage of no one to beg the girl, when he was hesitating, she heard Zhixuan walking in with a smile: "Miss But have you slept well?" She could only swallow the words helplessly, and arranged for someone to fetch water for Lin Yao to freshen up.

Lin Yao was upset at first and didn't want to talk to her, but then she thought about it, since she had become Daiyu, and when Daiyu went to Rongguo Mansion, none of the big maids around her were missing, only one of them was still in that corner It can be seen that it is extremely abnormal, and something must have happened that is not stated in the book.

After thinking through this verse, she waved her hand and said, "Go down after cleansing your face, as long as sister Jin'er combs my hair, it's a bit windy, close the window on the side of the desk too." Zhixuan heard Daiyu say so Said, and ordered: "Qinghe brought out the water, and Xueyan went to close the window." After saying that, she turned to pour tea, but she didn't notice that Daiyu's face changed suddenly.

I just thought that "Snow Goose" didn't know where it was at this moment, so I got out, and then looked at the small body and face, it will be there to serve people?I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, but after thinking about it again, the mother Wang who followed to the capital has already been sent out, and this snow goose can't be kept, but the snow goose is so small, how should I get rid of it?
Jin'er saw that Daiyu's complexion was not right, so she gently stepped forward to help Daiyu sit down in front of the dowry, and asked with her ear, "What's wrong, Miss?"

Only then did Daiyu wake up, she frowned and thought for a while and asked, "This snow goose looks younger than me, which family does it belong to?" Daiyu knew that most of the family servants at this time were The family has a son, so I have this question.But I didn't want Jin'er to shake her head and say, "There are family members there? She looks white and clean, but she is a young lady from a small gentry's family outside the city. Unexpectedly, disaster happened overnight, the family property was stolen, and a dozen people from all over the house fell down." In a pool of blood. She was so lucky that she didn't know where she was hiding, but she escaped a catastrophe. When people found out, she was sitting next to her mother and crying. The clan said she was a girl. Said that she ordered her to kill her parents and the whole family, so she sold her out. At that time, she was going to be a playboy for Brother Yan, but there was no one of the right size in the house, so she went to buy it outside. Madam saw She was so pitiful that she bought them together."

Jin'er talked like a bean in a bamboo tube, seeing that Daiyu was only bowing her head in thought but not annoyed her, so she brushed Daiyu's hair and pretended to have no intention of saying to Daiyu: "I heard that my wife wants to deal with it." Those people in Brother Yan’s house are gone. I just don’t know how many innocent people will be implicated.”

Daiyu's head was lowered, but when she heard the word "injustice", she suddenly raised her head: "Don't say anything innocent or not, it's a fact that Brother Yan died so badly, my wife is sad, and I'm also angry inevitable!"

Seeing that Daiyu was annoyed, Jin'er didn't panic, she just quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The servant girl knows that she has said something wrong and offended the girl. But the girl also knows about Zhi'er, the wife will send the servant girl I pointed out to the old lady with Zhi'er one after another. In the past three years, the servants have not been lazy. Zhi'er is a honest person, so where will I hurt the old man or not take good care of him? Now that the old man is gone, Zhi'er Still not sure how to feel sad and blame myself. But the wife locked him up without even asking a single question. No matter how brave the servants were, they would not dare to look at them, and they did not ask the girl to speak for Zhi'er. I just ask the girl to mention a word in front of the wife, so that the wife will have a trial when she is energetic." After finishing speaking, she kept kowtowing her head.

Daiyu thought for a while and then said: "Brother Yan is gone, I am also sad, but I am young and don't know the details. You said that Zhi'er is innocent, so don't kowtow, get up and tell me clearly Listen." Then he pulled Jin'er up.

Although the floor was covered with brocade velvet blankets, Jin'er's forehead was red and swollen from knocking on it, which showed that she was sincere.So he eased his expression: "Sister, don't blame me for being angry. The master and wife have only me and Brother Yan when they are old. Now that Brother Yan is gone, the master and wife are naturally sad and hurt their lungs. It is me, and there will be less pain in the future." Brothers and sisters to support and rely on." Thinking of the book, Lin Ruhai sent Daiyu to the Rongguo Mansion for this reason, and the Rongguo Mansion blatantly invaded Lin Daiyu's family property and killed Lin Daiyu, so he held back with all his strength. Tears came.

Seeing Daiyu crying, Jin'er panicked, wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say.After a while, Daiyu shed her tears, and asked with red eyes: "I have been by my side since my youngest sister, and the relationship is different. Even sister Zhi'er, I used to come and go often. If you are really wronged, sister just tell me the matter clearly, and I will ask my wife for her favor."

When Jin'er heard this, was there anyone who refused?Then he told everything he knew in detail.It was only then that Daiyu realized that her siblings were not in good health at birth, probably because Jia Min had injured her body when she gave birth to her, and after a year she hadn't recuperated and then gave birth to Brother Yan, who was naturally in better health than her brother Yan. I am still weak. More than a month ago, Brother Yan started to have diarrhea without knowing what he ate. The number of doctors he hired was up and down. Zhi'er was also guarded by his underwear every day, so he lost weight. It's a big circle, and I also had diarrhea for some reason more than ten days ago, and I got cold again at night, and my whole body was on fire.

Mother Zhou was afraid that Brother Yan would get sick, so she didn't let Zhi'er serve in front of the uncle, but on the third day, she said that the uncle was gone.Zhi'er and Jia Min came to Yan Ge'er's room one after another. Seeing that Yan Ge'er was gone, Jia Min became anxious and locked everyone up. He also cried and passed out in Yan Ge'er's room. It's sad brother Yan, and worrying about himself, so he's sick, and it's not until today that he has the intention to deal with it.

After hearing this, Daiyu felt that something was wrong, but how could it happen that Brother Yan disappeared as soon as Zhi'er left?It's very likely that someone deliberately dismissed her, or that someone knew something and wanted to protect her, or that she had found an alibi, or...someone wanted to put the blame on her!Daiyu couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.Although in a coma, Daiyu had a dream for a long time like watching a series, but after waking up, it was a blur.It's not easy to manage this matter, but you can't ignore the coldness of the people around you.I had to close my eyes and try to recall those images.

In the picture, brother Yan is indeed accompanied by a girl who is about the same size as Jin'er, presumably Zhi'er, who is also a beauty with pink face and peach cheeks, slender and graceful.So she asked: "Does Zhi'er have any other family members in the mansion?" After a while without Jin'er answering, Daiyu looked up and saw that Jin'er was staring at her blankly.

Daiyu immediately knew that she had said something wrong, but it was inconvenient to describe it, so she had to look at Jiner with her eyes.Seeing this, Jin'er guessed that the girl was young and couldn't remember many things clearly, so she said: "Both slaves and Zhi'er are born in the Lin family, and they have been working in the Lin family for several lifetimes. Zhi'er's mother can go Long ago, only she and her brother were left behind, her father disappeared a few years ago, her brother was serving by the master's side, that is, Shi Yan who was by the master's side." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking.

Daiyu thought about it and asked again: "You can't have the news yourself, but who did you talk about for me?" Jin'er was so frightened that her face turned pale and she immediately knelt down: "Miss Mingjian, even if I have the guts, I would not dare to do anything for the girl. It's just that sister Qiluo got the news and wanted to ask the girl. Seeing that the girl was sleeping, the servant said to her, 'This matter will wait until the girl wakes up. It's the same when the maid returns to the girl, if the girl wants to take care of it, she will find her wife.'"

After hearing this, Daiyu nodded and asked Jin'er to comb her hair, and then asked someone to fetch water to clean her face.After tidying up, Daiyu asked Zhixuan to send someone to the wife's room to see what the wife was doing.If you have free time, just tell me and go there in a while.If you don't have time, come back and talk, so that you can make arrangements.

After a while, a little girl ran in, and without waiting for the girl to reply, Jin'er scolded: "What's the matter with Lily of the valley? The frizzy and careful bumped into the girl!" Daiyu turned her head to see that the seven or eight year old girl was running all over the place. His face was flushed, and he hadn't caught his breath yet, so he smiled and said, "Where am I so stingy? Seeing that she hasn't caught her breath yet, give her a sip of tea to breathe slowly."

Just as Daiyu was talking, she had already brought her a cup of tea with a smile: "Don't you want to thank Miss for the reward?" Something, if you understand the words carefully, I will reward you again."

The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard it: "Responding to the girl's words, the servant did not enter the wife's room. I saw sister Lue and sister Ruizhu doing needlework in the small courtyard, so I told the servant to find his wife, and sister Lue said Last night, my wife went to bed late and got up early this morning. After returning from our yard, I drank calming tea and fell asleep. Sisters Mu Mian and Sister Qi Luo stayed in the house. The maidservant rushed away thinking that the girl was waiting for the news. return."

As soon as she finished speaking, Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Look at her frizzy, but she speaks clearly. Give her five hundred yuan to buy candy." I don't know who is in charge of my money.

Jia Min was sleeping and Daiyu didn't intend to go there, so she passed the meal in the small hall.After eating this neither early nor late meal, Daiyu thought that since she took care of Zhi'er's business, she would always go to ask about it, so she took someone to Yan Ge'er's Dongkua courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at Dongkua courtyard, I saw two women sitting on the gate railing blocking the way.Seeing Daiyu coming, she just stood up and said hello, and didn't let her go.Daiyu didn't talk nonsense with them, she just glanced at Er Jiner.Jin'er knew that this was Jia Min's mother-in-law, so she stepped forward and said politely: "Hello, two mothers, we girls want to go in and have a look, and the two mothers can go have a tea break and come back later."

Who knows that people don't appreciate it, and said straightly: "I know that the girl is by my sister's side, so I shouldn't push my sister to come here. My sister just fainted from crying here a while ago. If there is anything else, don't It's you, girl, even we can't bear it." Daiyu had long been impatient to wait, and when she saw that the two women, Jin'er, couldn't make sense, she stepped forward and said directly: "Open the door, I want Go in." The tone was calm and calm, although the two wives were frightened, they still didn't dare to let go easily.

This immediately angered Daiyu: "What's wrong? I'm not the master of this house? My words won't work, will I? Then I'll go to my wife." As he spoke, he was about to turn around. The two women's calves were trembling, and they quickly smiled: "What did you say, but the wife ordered us to guard and not allow 'anyone' to enter, and we are also obeying orders."

The two wives deliberately bit the word "anyone" very hard, "Besides, the uncle is in this courtyard, and I am afraid of bumping into my sister. Last time, my sister also fainted in this courtyard." Yes." After speaking, she looked at Daiyu's face.But now Daiyu was not angry anymore, she just said quietly: "Anyone? Could it be that I was the one who killed Brother Yan?"

The two women quickly shook their heads: "How can it be, the elder sister is the elder sister of the uncle, a compatriot of the same mother." They said with a smile on their faces, but they stood by the door but refused to give up a step.I thought in my heart that the girl was young, she ran here after being teased by someone, if something happened, who would take care of it?Who knows that Daiyu didn't even look at them, she just lowered her head and sneered: "Hum! You know I'm the sister of Brother Yan's mother and compatriots, why don't you let me get out of the way! Who can bump into me? Brother Yan ?" Seeing that the posture was wrong, the two wives were already dripping with cold sweat but didn't want to just admit defeat, so they just lowered their heads and blocked the way at the station door.

Daiyu was very angry now: "Zhixuan! Sister Jin'er is here to accompany me. You go to the room to see your wife. If your wife is still asleep, you can ask Sister Qiluo to come over and say that I will wait here. Look at her." Daiyu looked very imposing on the surface, but she sighed in her heart, after all, she was still too young to have prestige in her own family, and who could regard herself as someone else in other places ?But they were all things that bullied him when he was young, no wonder Xue Yan was the only one who followed him so recklessly back then.

After a while, Zhixuan hurried over with Qiluo, Qiluo stood under the sun at noon when she saw Daiyu, that's okay!She stepped forward without asking any questions, and scolded her head and face: "You two fools! You dare to let the girl bask in the sun at noon! No matter what you have to do, you should find a place for the girl to sit down first! Get out of the way!" The two wives still refused: "Miss Qiluo, we know that you are the one who can be used by the wife, but it is also the order of the wife not to allow anyone to go in, we dare not disobey, my sister will go in In case there is any collision or something bad, we can't afford it, can we? You, don't embarrass us. I only invited my wife to speak, and we naturally invited my sister to come in to make amends." As he spoke, he looked eastward Look around, but don't look at Daiyu and his party.

Daiyu thought for a while, since they didn't let them go, it wouldn't be fun to make a big fuss, so she said, "In that case, you bring Zhi'er out, I want to see her." The two women were still waiting to refuse, but Daiyu said again "Don't forget. You are eating the food of the Lin family! And here, my surname is Lin!" Seeing that Daiyu no longer insisted on going in, the two wives had to take a step back, went in and brought Zhi'er out.

As soon as Zhi'er came out, Qi Luo pounced on her and hugged her in her arms.Seeing Zhi'er's dull eyes, chapped lips, thin face, and flushed face, Jin'er also burst into tears with red eye circles.Daiyu was also very shocked, although this was the first time she saw Zhi'er, she had seen Zhi'er in her dream, and when she got up early, she still thought that she was a beauty, but seeing her now...she couldn't bear it.

Then he said to Shinan: "Go and bring salt and sugar water over here, please take it easy" and then asked someone to move a spring stool and let Zhi'er sit down with him.Zhi'er was just in a daze and didn't speak a word, she couldn't eat the water that was brought to her, and she just didn't look at anyone.Seeing this, Daiyu became anxious: "Don't worry about other things, first pour the sugar and salt water into it, and then go get a set of thicker clothes to put on her, I can't just take her away, anyway I have to report to my wife before I can invite a doctor to see if she has a fever? Give her some more sugar and salt water, we will report to my wife immediately, if we delay it, we may die.” Said Wan looked at the two wives again: "My wife told you to keep a close watch on the door and people! If this person disappears during your custody, I don't know if my wife will think that someone killed someone to silence him!" Seeing the paleness of the two women, they turned around and headed towards the main room, leaving only Jin'er and Shinan to accompany Qi Luo to water Zhi'er.

Not to mention that Daiyu entered the upper room, Jia Min hadn't woken up yet, so she had to wait in the small flower hall. Here, Er Jin'er poured Zhi'er a large glass of salt and sugar water. He looked at Jin'er with his eyes, didn't speak, just kept crying.Zhi'er is a solid person, and she has only one elder brother since she was a child. Since she followed Yan Ge'er, although she is a master and servant, she has always looked after Yan Ge'er as her own younger brother from the bottom of her heart, for fear of falling. It's gone, it's gone, it's very sad, and at this moment, I don't even think about my current situation, I just care about sadness.Jin'er didn't know how to comfort her, so she just said: "Relax, there is a girl who decides for you in everything, and the lady's wife will not wrong you." Knowing what is wronged and not being wronged, he just said: "Brother is gone, since I didn't take care of it, even if I go with my brother, I should be!"

Daiyu waited in the room for a long time but did not see Jia Min waking up, so she turned around and went out to see what Zhi'er had to say, and just happened to hear what Zhi'er said, so she believed her three-pointed in her heart.Going up and looking at Zhi'er, he said directly: "Don't say anything if you go with Brother Yan, if you treat Brother Yan sincerely, Brother Yan will love you, please be good, and report back to my wife, please come here The doctor will show you, let me recuperate my body before I talk about other things. Brother Yan went away for no apparent reason, so you have to find out. Now that you have time to be sad, you might as well recall what happened. Why did Brother Yan suddenly disappear? I remember saying that Brother Yan was getting better, so how did you suddenly start to have diarrhea?" Everyone was shocked when they heard Daiyu's question.Zhi'er's eyes widened even more, she bit the corner of her lips and could not make a sound, only tears fell straight down.Daiyu didn't say anything more when she saw this, she just said: "Take care of your body first. It's cold, so add an extra coat." Then she turned to Shinan and said, "Go get a basin of water for your sister Zhi'er to wash up." After some time, when my wife wakes up and asks questions, she won't offend her." After speaking, he turned and left.

Here, Shinan fetched water for Zhi'er to wash up, then went to the kitchen to get some food for Zhi'er, Zhi'er didn't say anything else.He just gritted his teeth and swallowed some food, and became more energetic. He took Jin'er's hand and was about to speak when Qi Luo came to say that his wife was awake. He didn't say anything anymore, nodded and followed Qi Luo away.
