Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 50 Gusu Notes (1)

Ever since Lin Ruhai and the others left, Daiyu really began to keep her filial piety behind closed doors.Except for Jia Lian, who came back from the academy to see her every three or five days, even Huang Jiyun seemed to be busy with something, and only came back to teach Daiyu for two days before disappearing, and he did not appear again for a long time.

Daiyu seemed to have suddenly returned to her previous life. For a while, Lin Yao did the same, staying alone every day and rarely talking to others.Even when people come and go around her, she is willing to be a bystander, and often she is distracted, no one knows what she is thinking, in fact, she herself does not know what she is thinking every day at that time.

Since Lin Ruhai left, Daiyu often lay on the window and lost her mind, or held a book, but couldn't turn a page in half a day; or took out painting tools and fiddled with colors casually, but no one saw what she drew .Groups of colors are scattered on the paper like that, thick or light, or a large block, or just a little ink.

Daiyu's only constant daily life was to offer incense to Jia Min. She stood in front of the memorial tablet and watched the incense burn little by little until it burned out.Grandma Yang, Grandma Sun and others looked very worried and said many words of comfort, but Daiyu just listened quietly, then nodded with a smile.

Jin'er Qiluo always thinks of how to talk to Daiyu every day, but they always talk passionately, and Daiyu loses her mind when she listens.Everyone was helpless for a while, so they invited Jia Lian to come back, and Jia Lian went back and forth between the academy and the Lin's residence, but Daiyu's condition did not improve.

Daiyu felt that she read books and painted paintings every day. Although her life was a little deserted, she was very leisurely.In this kind of life, Lin's mansion finished the Laba quietly, although it set up a porridge shed to give out porridge as in previous years.But it was much cooler than last year and the year before last.

After the new year, when the sun was just right, Daiyu had a rare interest in painting in the garden.The winter wind in the south of the Yangtze River is very mild, but the sun shines warmly, which is a bit warmer than the spring in the north.It was in the afternoon of this day that Daiyu's hometown in Gusu received the first letter from Wanyu, and of course the New Year's gift along with it.

This New Year's gift is very different from the usual ones. Although Daiyu and Wanyu exchanged some items in the past, most of them were handmade by herself.Or embroidery, or scented tea, and occasionally some calligraphy and painting.

But this time, from food to clothing, there is also a box of pearls that Daiyu loves so much, the big ones are the size of a finger, and the small ones are like rice grains.There is even a set of finished pearl heads, each full and round.It made Daiyu a little confused, she didn't understand what Wanyu meant, but she didn't want to speculate.

There is no need to look at the gift list anymore, there are many things but it is clear at a glance that they are nothing more than seafood and fabrics from the south, and the focus is still on the box of pearls and the hood.Daiyu opened the letter and glanced at it twice, then her eyes turned red.The deserted and quiet place that had been for many days was torn apart like a mask.

It turned out that most of these items were prepared by the princess. I heard that Daiyu loves seafood, so I prepared more this time.Only the set of pearl face was added by Wanyu for looking at it herself, guessing that Daiyu would like it.It is said that although Daiyu is not needed now, she will be able to wear it when she becomes filial piety, and she is afraid that she will not be able to find such a one at that time, so she chooses it first.

He also said that the box of pearls was collected by Shizi, Mo Xuan and himself. Originally, they planned to ask someone to weave a pearl shirt for Daiyu, but now they don't weave it anymore. Yu went to wait on her own.Seeing that Daiyu's heart is as warm as the sun in the sky.A smile began to appear on his face.

It was almost New Year's Eve when the return gifts for Wanyu and Prince Wu were sent away.Daiyu also had less and less time to be dazed and distracted. Last year when she was taking care of the books, Daiyu discovered that although the Lin family had many properties, most of them were scattered.Although Daiyu doesn't have as many properties as the Lin family now, she still has all kinds of properties, and she wants to integrate them in her heart.

Daiyu didn't study business in her previous life, and she was not even familiar with business. However, after integration, it will be more conducive to the utilization of resources. Daiyu knows it. Besides, Daiyu has hundreds of years more business knowledge than people in this era.So he made up his mind to integrate assets and started preparations.

Daiyu planned to take advantage of the few days before the checkout to clean up the house.Although it may not necessarily be done in one step, or something, but it is right to do it slowly.

The first thing Daiyu sorted out was the land and properties in various places.Because Lin Ruhai said before that all these in her hands were her dowry, so Daiyu didn't have any psychological burden.

Fertile fields, paddy fields, mountainous lands, and woodlands are all here and there, scattered all over the place, so Daiyu selected them and sorted them out, and asked the manager to find out about them one by one, and bought them on the side of the small pieces. I just bought some of the same kind, and the stewards are naturally happy when they have more land in their hands.

But when she encountered those who couldn't buy suitable ones, Daiyu decided to find a way to sell them off, and the stewards of those properties that were sold in this way were very dissatisfied.Daiyu added some more to the side of the big piece, and put these stewards there, so that everyone's minds were barely balanced, and after such a mess, they also formed a certain appearance.

It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and at this time in previous years, Jia Min always took care of everything early, even if she led Daiyu, she mostly let her watch and study.Lin Ruhai would only come back to worship the Kitchen God at night.

But this year... Daiyu looked at Jia Min's memorial tablet, and couldn't help but feel a little lost. All that was in her mind was the busy figure of Jia Min in previous years.Seeing Daiyu like this, Jin'er was afraid that she would be as cold and lonely as before, so she hurriedly woke her up.

Looking at the icy tablet in front of her, Daiyu knew that she would never see the figure leading her busy around again.Jia Min has already gone, and it has become the silent tablet now.It's not without pain in her heart, but at this time Daiyu can't cry.

Daiyu thought for a moment that Lin Ruhai had probably already taken office, and now there were no men in the mansion, only Daiyu, even if Jia Lian came back in the evening, she would not be considered as a member of Lin's mansion, but could only be regarded as a guest. I will sacrifice the stove for my own family.Otherwise, if the men don't worship the moon and the women don't worship the stove, I'm afraid there will be no need to make preparations for the stove this year.

Before noon, Jia Lian rushed back from the academy, but there was no trace of happiness in the mansion. Bye-bye, she saw Daiyu sitting in the garden blankly, wondering what she was thinking.Although he felt pity in his heart, he smiled lightly on his face and said, "Sister, why are you so preoccupied? Could it be that you are thinking about something delicious tonight?"

Daiyu was startled when she heard Jia Lian's voice suddenly.But he immediately became happy, and said with a smile: "What delicious food can I eat at my mother's filial piety now? Princess Wujun sent us a lot of seafood this year, but I can't eat it." Said Wan tilted his head and looked at Jia Lian and asked, "Brother, do you want to eat something delicious?"

Seeing her like this, Jia Lian was relieved, and she pursed her lips and said, "Since you can't eat, how can I eat it? But my sister will clean up for me, how can I honor my husband, and it will be cheaper for those classmates. It's good." Hearing what Jia Lian said, Daiyu nodded and got up to tidy up.

Jia Lian originally wanted to stop her and say that there is no need to be so anxious, but she thought that it would be good to keep her busy so that she would not be able to think wildly.He didn't say much, just smiled and followed her, watching her busy take care of everything.

In the evening, the two quietly had a "New Year's Eve dinner" with Jia Min in front of Jia Min's memorial tablet.Jia Lian accompanied Daiyu to distribute red envelopes to the people in the ancestral house as usual, and just returned to the outer courtyard to rest after the New Year's Eve.

The second day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Lian did not go out, and only accompanied Daiyu to drink tea and play chess. The two stinky chess baskets discovered an interesting thing, that is, no one should dislike the other. On the contrary, they were evenly matched.

In the afternoon of the first day of the new year, Huang Jiyun got out of nowhere, and saw the two of them making tea and playing chess in Meilin, and felt elegant.Then he stopped the salute of the maidservant, and walked gently behind the two of them. Both of them were so absorbed that no one noticed the extra Huang Jiyun. .

When I decided to accept Daiyu as my apprentice, I have to say that there was a reason why I marveled at Daiyu's chess talent.But over the past few years, although Daiyu has made some progress, she is far from the talent that Huang Jiyun believed in, and she can't help laughing at herself that she sometimes misses the point.

But Daiyu's talent in tea ceremony and painting really amazed Huang Jiyun, so he didn't regret accepting him as an apprentice.Seeing the two playing chess today, although they were concentrating on killing until the sky was dark, but they kept making mistakes, Huang Jiyun decided to give them good advice.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Jiyun made a sound, Daiyu lost interest. In fact, in the past few years, although Huang Jiyun forced her to memorize a lot of chess records, she really didn't like it.Huang Jiyun often likes to ask her to test his effectiveness, so it is natural that he is tortured terribly.

Now that he finally has an opponent, he is on the rise again.Huang Jiyun's appearance was like a basin of cold water being poured over his head.Quenched all enthusiasm.In fact, Huang Jiyun no longer has the interest to torture Daiyu in the past half a year, he is more willing to play chess with Lin Ruhai, after all, he is an opponent in chess, such a person is not easy to find.

But today the sky is blue and the clouds are light, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom.A gust of wind blew by, and fiery red petals fell like rain from the heads of the two men wearing moon white fine cotton plain clothes, and the sleeves of their clothes fluttered, but the picture was extremely beautiful.In particular, the red plum blossoms on the shoulders of the two of them are full of poetry.At the same time, the fragrance of tea is curling up, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.Huang Jiyun was also drunk, so he became interested in giving advice to the two of them.

The master wants to teach, how can the apprentice object?Huang Jiyun didn't care whether Daiyu was still in the mood to play chess, so he also sat down beside the short table.There is a sentence on the left, which made Daiyu want to roll her eyes, but Jia Lian became more and more nervous, making mistakes and losing moves constantly, which made Huang Jiyun gradually angry.In the end, it was Huang Jiyun playing chess against himself.

The leisurely time always flies by quickly. In the second year of junior high school, Jia Lian went to the homes of the gentlemen of the academy for a hundred years, and Daiyu also took a car and went to the Lin family.After that, Jia Lian was busy entertaining his classmates in the third and fourth grades, as well as some friends he had made in the past few years, so he had no time to spend with Daiyu.

Huang Jiyun stayed at Lin's house for a few more days, but he didn't know where he went in the morning of the fifth day of the fifth day.Daiyu was the only one left in Lin's house again, but at this time Daiyu was much more energetic than when she just came back, sometimes joking with the maids, sometimes doing needlework with Aunt Dao Luo, or holding a book in the sun by herself , to read or not to read, always turn two pages.
