Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 431
Hearing that Wang Xifeng is coming, Daiyu hastily changed her clothes and went out to meet her. As she walked, she ordered: "I remember I got a basket of lychees a while ago. Sister Qiao likes to eat them very much. Please let someone pretend to be some." Speaking of Sister Qiao, Daiyu was smiling, and Qinghe naturally knew how much Daiyu liked Sister Qiao, so she hurriedly responded.

But before Daiyu arrived at Yimen, Wang Xifeng had already entered, wearing a rose red shirt with a stand-up collar and narrow sleeves, wearing an indigo tunic beige, and a semi-new Sahuaru skirt.There was only a phoenix hairpin on her head, and she was dressed in a homely way. Daiyu couldn't help frowning.Looking behind Wang Xifeng again, there is no sign of Sister Qiao.

Daiyu couldn't help but took two quick steps, stepped forward and hurriedly asked: "It's rare for sister-in-law to come here, why didn't she bring sister Qiao? But something happened..."

Wang Xifeng didn't wait for Daiyu to finish speaking, then interrupted with a forced smile with red eyes: "Yingmei sent someone to pick her up, and said she was just playing for a few days. Even if I keep her by my side, it would be boring. " After speaking, he was afraid that Daiyu would be suspicious, and said, "Let's talk in the room."

Daiyu saw that Wang Xifeng's expression was different, but it was not the place to talk at this time, so she nodded, and then ordered Xueyan to say: "Send someone to tell Qinghe, and give half a basket of lychees to Master Yun." home."

After talking, she turned back to Wang Xifeng and said with a smile: "I said to send it to my sister-in-law, but Qiao'er's sister-in-law came. I don't have much to do, I just take it back to my sister-in-law."

Wang Xifeng saw that Daiyu said that she gave half a basket to Yingchun, so there were not many things, and she also knew that lychee is a precious thing, ordinary people can't eat it, so she said with a smile: "I don't like to eat it. After sending it away, can she not give it to Sister Qiao? You just keep it for yourself, or give it away or treat it to someone. "

Seeing this, Daiyu was not reluctant, she nodded and went to the flower hall with Wang Xifeng.After the maids served tea, Daiyu sent everyone out of the house again, and asked softly, "But what happened to brother?"

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Although your elder brother is able to work in the household department because he is favored by the Holy One, he is also conscientious, and he was taught by his uncle when he was young, so why is it so easy to make mistakes?"

Saying that she didn't want Wang Xifeng to burst into tears, choked up and said: "It's your ignorant nephew..." When Daiyu heard that it was Brother Chun's business, she immediately became anxious and asked repeatedly: "What's wrong with Brother Chun?" After finishing speaking, he said, "I remember the news came a few days ago that he was going to participate in the boy's test?"

As soon as he mentioned this boy test, Wang Xifeng's tears fell more urgently, and after a while he said: "Sister, try to persuade Brother Chun!"

Seeing this, Daiyu became even more anxious, quickly took the silk, and while wiping Wang Xifeng's tears, she said, "Sister-in-law, don't cry, let's discuss what to do. If you are like this, my heart is also disturbed."

Wang Xifeng took several deep breaths before explaining the matter clearly intermittently.For Brother Chun, whether it is Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, or Jia She, they all have great expectations, especially after Jia Lian's concubine closed his house and the six ministries inspected politics, and Jia She took the initiative to resign. Pinned all her hopes on Brother Chun.

But at this time, Brother Chun was unwilling to take part in the literary examination, and instead applied for the martial arts examination!After hearing this, Daiyu also sighed, and understood that Jia Lian felt that he failed to pass the top three exams and lost face to his father Lin Ruhai, and pinned all his hopes on Brother Chun. Especially now that it is time to place more emphasis on civility than martial arts...

But Brother Chun has already applied for the exam, so what can Daiyu say?I had no choice but to tactfully persuade: "Brother Chun has been a child with ideas since he was a child. Since he has chosen this path, let's help him in the future. What's the point of talking about other things at this time?"

Although Wang Xifeng understood that what Daiyu said was reasonable, she was really uncomfortable. Hearing what Daiyu said, she cried more and more sadly.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the news that Brother Chun not only passed the provincial examination, but also won the fame of Wu Xiucai. Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian couldn't help it, so they had to follow him.

Jia Amnesty also specially hired a famous teacher for Brother Chun to give him advice, thinking that his family has something to do with the Ministry of War. If it is not possible, he can find a good job for Brother Chun by entrusting Daiyu.After all, Brother Chun is only about ten years old at this time.

From spring to autumn, brother Chun has indeed lived up to expectations and forged ahead all the way, successfully passed the examination of Wu Juren, and is about to go back to Beijing to take part in the general examination and pass the examination to be admitted to Wu Jinshi, not to mention the Jia family, even the Yun family and Mo Xuan Extremely happy, Mo Xuan even discussed that Jia Lian would arrange for Brother Chun to stay in Beijing after he was admitted as a Wu Jinshi.

But man is not as good as heaven is, no one in the capital knows that Brother Chun, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, has already set off for the South China Sea at this time.Those who went forward only brought a servant and Yaya...

Everyone in the capital was happily preparing for Brother Chun's return, and Wang Xifeng even started tidying up Brother Chun's yard early on.Ever since Brother Chun went to Dengzhou with Jia She and was sent to the Lin Family Academy in Gusu by Jia Lian, he has not lived in the capital seriously for many years. Even if he came back for the New Year, he would come and go .

So when the news of Daiyu's visit to Jia's mansion reported to Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng thought that Daiyu was also here to see the courtyard prepared for Brother Chun.After all, every time Brother Chun came back for the New Year, Daiyu would personally ask about it.Even the house in Tonghua Lane has a small courtyard for Brother Chun.

Wang Xifeng greeted Daiyu to get off the car at Yimen with a happy face, but she saw Daiyu frowning slightly, but she was not at all happy.Wang Xifeng couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, and had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, when Daiyu and Wang Xifeng entered the backyard of Rongxi Hall, they dismissed all the people around them, and their faces lost their previous composure. They pulled Wang Xifeng, without beating around the bush, and said directly: "My father wrote to say It was Brother Chun who went to him to find Zheng Guang who wanted to join the army, father wanted to leave him behind before talking about other things, but in the blink of an eye..."

Speaking of this, Daiyu immediately burst into tears, Wang Xifeng also turned pale, and hurriedly asked tremblingly: "Blink, what's wrong?"

Daiyu waited for a long time before sobbing: "In the blink of an eye, Brother Chun got the news from somewhere, and disappeared. Now this letter is from more than ten days ago, and it was sent urgently by the six hundred miles of the post road of the Ministry of War, which the father took. here."

Wang Xifeng didn't faint when he heard it, and he stabilized for a long time before asking: "When did my sister receive the news?" Daiyu said angrily: "Such a big matter, is it possible that I still dare to hide it from my sister-in-law? I came over when I received the message two hours ago."

Before the sister-in-law and sister-in-law had reached an agreement, Jia Lian also received a letter from his nanny Zhao Tianliang, saying that Brother Chun and his servant Wu Yao disappeared with Yaya, and now they have searched all over Jinling City. I have already sent letters to people I know, and I have been asking everywhere, but there is still no news...
