Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 45 The Truth (1)

After everything was settled, Lin Ruhai felt much more relieved, and just now asked why Jia Lian came so quickly?Who are you bringing with you...wait a minute.Then Jia Lian explained the future in detail.

Hearing that Jia Lian came on horseback, Lin Ruhai's heart softened.Knowing that all his luggage and entourage are still on board, he said to Daiyu, "Your brother has been exhausted all the way, so you should arrange it well and live in his original yard, and keep it for him."

Where is Daiyu's reason why she shouldn't?Well, Daiyu admits that she was Yan Kong in her previous life, and under the influence of Lin Ruhai, the current Jia Lian is not as greedy and lustful as the book said, and is quite suave.Then he smiled and said: "I have already arranged for Nanny Chen to take care of it in person, so my father can rest assured."

Seeing that Daiyu had already made arrangements, Lin Ruhai was very satisfied.The three of them chatted for a while, and Lin Ruhai asked Jia Lian to wash up and rest, saying that he would call him again at dinner.Jia Lian also nodded in agreement, and Fang retreated.

In the evening, the three sat together again.Lin Ruhai actually felt as if he had been separated from the world, looking at the vacant seat beside him, he felt extremely sad.Seeing this, Jia Lian also seemed to have a vacancy in his heart forever, which was difficult to fill.

Although Daiyu felt pain in her heart, she had no choice but to comfort the two of them: "Mother may not be able to bear seeing her father and elder brother look like this." Having said this, she turned her head to look at the empty seat beside Lin Ruhai, She tilted her head and asked, "Mother thinks Yu'er is right?"

The son didn't say anything strange, Lin Ruhai didn't believe in these gods and Buddhas, even Jia Lian didn't believe it under Lin Ruhai's influence.But at this time, the two of them were very willing to believe it.Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "In this way, we will eat more, so that your mother will be happy when she sees it."

Jia Lian also quickly added two chopsticks to Lin Ruhai, and said with a smile: "My aunt always likes these, so my uncle helps my aunt to eat more. I think my aunt is also happy." Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Lian and Daiyu, smiled, Tearfully stuffed in.At this time, in the General's Mansion in the capital, Jia She, accompanied by Mrs. Xing and Yingchun, had just had dinner.

Jia Amnesty somehow remembered what Jia Lian said when he left, so he said to Mrs. Xing: "My lord, I think Lian'er's words are very reasonable, and it's not good if you don't have a man and a woman under your knees. Why don't you greet the girl and that girl?" Brother Cong is in his name, so he has both sons and daughters." After speaking, he did not forget to take a proud look at Mrs. Xing and Yingchun.

In Mrs. Xing's mind, it is almost certain that Yingchun will be recorded in her name. Not only what Jia Lian said before leaving, but also Yingchun often accompanied her in recent days, she accepted Yingchun in her heart.But today, Jia Amnesty suddenly showed up with brother Cong, he couldn't help but look at Yingchun, and his face darkened.

In the past, even if Mrs. Xing was dissatisfied, she might have no choice but to agree.But now, Mrs. Xing has Jia Lian to rely on herself. Although she is still uneasy, she said carefully: "I'm afraid it's not good? Yingchun Ji is under my name. She is a girl after all. Besides, Aunt Wu is not healthy. Good. Aunt Juan, maybe you would like to?"

It is said that Jia Amnesty is a fool, and this is true.Mrs. Xing clearly said that it’s okay to be a girl, but he insisted on saying that Auntie didn’t want it, and then yelled, “What’s wrong with Auntie Juan? How dare she have an opinion? It’s under your name, that’s flattering her.” Son! You should call her here to kowtow to you!"

Mrs. Xing was so choked that her chest was tight, but she couldn't speak, she just stared at Jia She.Now, Jia Amnesty was even more dissatisfied, and said fiercely: "Why are you staring at the two fish-eyed paozi?!" Mrs. Xing was so frightened that she looked straight at the ground.At this moment, it was Yingchun who helped Mrs. Xing and said: "I think mother is afraid that my brother will come back, and I feel unhappy." The voice was so soft that Jia She almost didn't hear clearly.

But Jia Amnesty finally heard it clearly, thought for a while and frowned: "That's right! This is recorded in your name, so you can be regarded as your son." After speaking, he thought of his relationship with Jia Zheng, especially the dirty things that happened in these years , not wanting Jia Lian to go through it again in the future, Fang nodded and said, "It's reasonable to say welcome the girl."

The embarrassment in Mrs. Xing's heart!Obviously you said it yourself, okay?But he dared not argue with Jia Amnesty.He just gave Yingchun a displeased look.Yingchun saw her aunt's displeasure, but she didn't know what to say at this time, so she replied: "It's all taught by my mother." She stopped talking.

Mrs. Xing was pleased by this sentence, she nodded happily in her heart, and then said: "Fortunately, you are smart, if you encounter those that no one can teach you, I will not be able to."

Turning around, he asked Jia She, "Is there a regulation for the genealogy?" Jia She nodded and said, "I have already told the old lady, and I have also informed Brother Zhen. I will wait until a good day is picked. Do it." Hearing this, Yingchun finally settled down.

Mrs. Xing also nodded with a smile and said, "Master is agile in his work." Jia Amnesty was proud of being praised, so she smiled and said, "That's right! Don't look at who I am, Master?" It's fun.

On the third day when Jia Lian arrived at Lin's house, Lin Ruhai was at the front, entertaining officials and salt merchants who came to express their condolences. Daiyu was guarding the mourning hall, burning paper money for Jia Min, but she didn't want Nanny Sun to rush to her ear After whispering a few words, Daiyu's face changed greatly, her eyes were full of sternness that didn't match her age.

That look made Grandma Sun see it there in a daze, and she shuddered, but she didn't dare to think about it.Daiyu took several deep breaths, and then said coldly to Nanny Sun: "Are you sure?" Although her voice was calm, it was freezing to death.Grandma Sun didn't dare to hesitate, she nodded quickly and said, "Young lady, you can see it for real."

When Daiyu heard this, she nodded and said nothing.Although Jin'er and the others didn't know what happened, they had a bad premonition in their hearts.Seeing Daiyu like this, she didn't dare to speak out to persuade her, and Nanny Sun didn't dare to move more, she just waited on the sidelines.Until the incense burned out, Daiyufang stood up with Jin'er's support.

Glancing at Qi Luo and the others, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qi Luo and Jin'er will follow me, the rest will wait and watch over mother for now." After speaking, she turned and walked out of the mourning hall.Nanny Sun hesitated for a while, and finally chased after her. She lowered her voice and asked, "Do you want to notify the master?"

Daiyu didn't even think about it, she shook her head lightly and said: "For the time being, there is no need! Father has been working hard all day long, so where does he have to trouble him everywhere? Let me go and have a look first."

The sudden death of her mother in the previous life has always been a dull pain in Daiyu's heart.Even here, it still hurts.Jia Min comforted her little by little with mother's love, and it wasn't until her seventh birthday that Daiyu suddenly realized that Jia Min was the same as her mother in the previous life.If she can't come here, it's because of God's pity for her, to give her another mother!But I never thought that I would be so calculated to disappear!
At this moment, Daiyu's heart is full of hatred!Although she didn't show it on the surface, Qi Luo, Jin'er, Nanny Sun and others who were following her all felt the chill coming from Daiyu's body.So they watched Daiyu's expression and actions carefully, not daring to say a word.

When they arrived at the flower hall, Nanny Sun immediately asked someone to move the screen embroidered with white peonies, and asked Daiyu to sit behind.As soon as Daiyu sat down, Zhao Bing walked in, bowed to the screen, and said respectfully: "Miss, someone handed a white silk into the mansion yesterday afternoon, but it didn't go through the front door, but from the back." Handed it in." Speaking of which, she looked up at Nanny Sun.

Seeing Nanny Sun nodding, she continued: "Because Nanny Sun had explained before, I had doubts in my heart, so I followed from a distance. I found that the man had entered a house not far away, so I didn't want to go immediately After inquiring, I retreated back. I don’t want to happen that the little one just got off duty today, and when he passed by the back door, he saw the white silk being sent out again.”

Hearing this, Daiyu frowned, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you know where it was sent? Who sent it?" Zhao Bing was not moved by Daiyu's cold voice, and still replied in a low voice. : "Go back to the girl, because of what happened yesterday, the little girl followed up again, and found that it was sent to the mansion where the person entered yesterday, so she turned back. I asked the young man who guarded the gate, and said that it was Aunt Bai's servant girl. Send it to her distant cousin."

As soon as this remark came out, let alone Daiyu, Qi Luo and Jin'er both changed their faces, and Nanny Sun was even more angry, and she shouted angrily in a low voice: "This black-hearted thing! How can I have any relatives?" ?" Daiyu quickly stabilized her mind, stared at the screen and continued to ask: "Can you find out which family it is?"

Zhao Bingli immediately returned: "I found out that it is a salt merchant named Zhuang." When Daiyu heard that the surname was Zhuang, she had a guess in her heart, and she was even more certain when she heard that it was a salt merchant.After thinking for a while, he said: "Since this is the case, it won't be just this one time, just continue to observe." Then he turned to Nanny Sun and said, "Send a few more people to watch Aunt Bai and that Xin'er." Bing retreated.

Grandma Sun saw Zhao Bingtui below and asked Daiyu cautiously: "Why don't you catch him and interrogate him?" Daiyu shook her head and said, "I have my own opinion on this matter." After speaking, she got up and walked out. People followed immediately.

Seeing Daiyu going to the side yard, Grandma Sun asked, "Miss, is this...?" Daiyu didn't hide anything and said, "Go to Aunt Bai's room." I dare not say it again.

It was the first time for Daiyu to come to Aunt Bai's room, it was plain and undecorated.There is only one shrine in the west room dedicated to a Bodhisattva, but it is not like the ones I have seen in the past. It is neither Avalokitesvara or Manjushri, nor Tathagata or Maitreya.She couldn't help but raised her eyebrows and looked at Nanny Sun.Nanny Sun narrowed her eyes, thought for a while but couldn't think of it.

On the other hand, Qi Luo approached Daiyu and whispered: "I have accompanied Madam to the temple a lot, but I have seen him a few times. It seems to be the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Sun Nanny also said immediately after hearing this: "So It’s like, only people like us seldom make offerings. The ashram is far away on Mount Jiuhua.” Daiyu stopped asking when she heard “Ksitigarbha”.

As soon as Daiyu entered the room, Aunt Bai greeted her. Seeing Daiyu and the others muttering in front of the Bodhisattva she enshrined, her heart tightened, but she didn't go forward.Seeing Daiyu turn her head at this time, she just took two steps forward and knelt down to salute.Daiyu quickly reached out to support her and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be a gift to my aunt. After all, I am also an elder." After speaking, she sat down on the main seat.

Seeing this, Xin'er immediately brought tea over, Jin'er reached out to take it and said it to Daiyu.Daiyu smiled and said, "I'm not thirsty either, so there's no need to be so polite. Although it's my first time in my aunt's house, we are still a family."

Aunt Bai breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and thought about how smart she is, no matter how smart she is.Then he laughed and said, "Miss, that's very true. I just don't know why she thought of coming to me today? If you want me to say that you should come here often, don't bore yourself to death."

Daiyu ignored what she said later, and only sighed softly: "After all, I am young, and I have not gone through many things. The mourning hall in front of me is not well greeted. My aunt is also an old man by my father's side, so I thought about it." Come ask Aunt Bai to help." After speaking, looking at Aunt Bai, she asked softly, "I wonder if Auntie would like it?"

　Today is still three more!No later than ten o'clock!
