Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 52 Gusu Notes (3)

In a blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Daiyu didn't want to arrest the maids because of herself, so she let everyone go out to play in the street, but Jin'er and Qiluo didn't want to.However, she couldn't hold back Daiyu's insistence, so she asked Ruizhu Lue to lead Xiaoxiao Zhixuan and the others to go out to the streets to enjoy the lanterns, either together or in several groups.Xueyan Qinghe and the younger ones also followed.

Jin'er Qiluo naturally stayed in the mansion to accompany Daiyu, and Grandma Sun and Nanny Chen had children and grandchildren at home, so Daiyu let them go.Even Nanny Yang, Daiyu persuaded her several times but couldn't persuade her, so she asked someone to find kapok to take her home for a reunion.Aunt Yang is alone and has no relatives and nowhere to go, so she is happy to be with Daiyu.

For a while, the mansion was mostly empty, let alone Daiyu's courtyard, only Jin'er and Qi Luo were left, and even Aunt Luo had only Xiu'er left.The three of them stayed in the mansion with Daiyu to keep filial piety for Jia Min.

The four of them gathered together and were talking softly, but Yinglian suddenly ran back. Although she didn't leave a notice today, she didn't wait outside the door and rushed in directly.She cried out of breath and knelt down in front of Daiyu, unable to speak for a while.

Daiyu was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?" Yinglian's red eyes were choked with tears and she said: "Girl, servant, servant, I remembered everything, I remembered everything!" It was whining and crying.

Daiyu didn't realize what she thought of for a while, Qi Luo scolded at the side when she saw this: "Is there any more rules? This is where you cry?!" Qi Luo widened a pair of almond eyes .He scolded: "Even if there is a big thing, you shouldn't cry to the girl this year! Why don't you go out and wash it up and report to the girl?"

But Yinglian knelt down in front of Daiyu unmoved, she lowered her head and neither spoke nor went out.She knew in her heart that although Daiyu was very kind to her, she never beat or scolded her and let her study and practice calligraphy.But in the end, she was just Daiyu's maid, and she felt melancholy for a while, bitterness appeared on her face, and she didn't know what to do.

Daiyu frowned and looked at her for a while, then she suddenly thought that Yinglian was lost during the Lantern Festival, maybe she was remembering the past?Remember your parents?Daiyu also had a surprise in her heart.So he cautiously asked tentatively: "But you think of your family?" After speaking, he looked at Yinglian intently, not letting go of the trace of expression on her face.

Yinglian obviously didn't expect that Daiyu not only didn't get angry at her for breaking the rules, but also directly asked herself if she remembered her family. It can be seen that Daiyu has always taken this matter to heart, and she couldn't help but look up at Daiyu, Tears fell more and more.There is both sadness and emotion in my heart.

When she bought Yinglian back then, Jin'er was watching from the sidelines, and suddenly hearing Daiyu's question, Jin'er was also full of doubts, surprises, and curiosity.She really wanted to know what kind of cruel parents lost this beautiful and well-behaved daughter, or what kind of handsome parents could give birth to such a daughter.

Yinglian stared at Daiyu for a long time, then Yinglian nodded lightly, her tears drawing two streams on her face.It took a long time before she recovered her breath and said in a choked voice: "My maidservant's hometown is in Gusu!" Yinglian said this sentence with certainty, but then said: "Although this maidservant doesn't remember where it is."

This sentence made Yinglian feel embarrassed to look at Daiyu, and Jin'er who was on the side was a little anxious when she heard her panting, not to mention that Qiluo was a fiery person, so she immediately said: "I don't know where, why are you here?" You said it was in Gusu? Think carefully! Otherwise, even if the girl wants to, she won’t be able to help you! Just cry on your own!”

Hearing what Qi Luo said, Ying Lian became nervous, and hurriedly said: "But I remember that the family is quite wealthy! Parents are also servants and servants." When she said this, she stared at Daiyu as if she was afraid that Daiyu would not believe her. Looking at Daiyu's eyes.Although Qi Luo was a little suspicious, she didn't say anything, but Aunt Luo didn't say anything, she just looked at Yinglian and didn't know what to think.

Seeing that there was no disbelief on Daiyu's face, Yinglian took a breath and calmed down before continuing: "That year was also the Lantern Festival, and the servant Huo Qi took the servants to the streets to play. For some reason, Huo Qi left. There was a man,

Speaking of this, Yinglian raised her head and looked at Daiyu with horror in her eyes, and said, "That's the one who sold the slave to the girl! He said he was going to take the slave to the house, and then the slave followed him." began to cry.On the contrary, Aunt Luo comforted her with a voice at this time: "Don't cry and think about it carefully, is there anything else?"

Unexpectedly, Yinglian just shook her head, and she said in a distraught way: "It's been many years since I left, I don't remember how many beatings and scoldings I received... until I met a girl! When I arrived at the Lin family, I finally settled down." After finishing speaking As if he couldn't take it anymore, he fell to the ground.Even Qi Luo and Jin'er couldn't bear to look at it.

After hearing Yinglian's words, Jin'er and Qiluo also knew that she was afraid that she might have met a kidnapper back then. Aunt Luo shook her head when she saw that the two were about to talk, and then asked softly, "Then how about you?" Do you remember your family's last name?" Because Yinglian said she didn't know where her home was, she didn't ask her home address, only her surname.

Although Daiyu knew that Yinglian's father's surname was Zhen, she didn't know if it had anything to do with the Jinling family, and it was hard for her to say this, otherwise how would she explain it to everyone?Then she looked straight at Yinglian, hoping that Yinglian could remember more.

Yinglian didn't let Daiyu make her nod her head in disappointment and replied: "Your maidservant, remember! Your maidservant's father's surname is Zhen, and her mother's surname is Feng. I really can't remember anything else." After speaking, her face was dark, and she muttered there: " The maidservant was still young at that time, so I can’t remember many things.” Seeing this, Qi Luo sighed and said, “I’m really unlucky!” It’s like hating iron for nothing.

Everyone also knew that Qi Luo was a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, and those words were just to feel sorry for Yinglian, so no one cared about her, but Aunt Luo and Jin'er turned their heads to look at Daiyu, both wanting to speak. And stop the appearance.

Daiyu lowered her head and did not look at them, she calmly said to Yinglian: "Go and rest, don't think about it too much. I will ask the old butler to send someone to search for you later. If you can find it, that would be the best. If you can't find it, you can just work here with peace of mind, and I won't lose you anything. What Jin'er and the others have, you will have in the future."

This is already a big promise, seeing what Daiyu said, Yinglian was also moved in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, she could only kowtow to thank Daiyu, and then backed out.For a while there were only four people left in the room, but the atmosphere was quite different. Jin Er and Qi Luo looked at each other and asked softly, "Miss, do you think you can find it?"

Hearing this question, even Aunt Luo couldn't help looking at Daiyu.Daiyu shook her head and smiled wryly, if she really wanted to look for it, of course she would find it.But at this time, the Zhen family should have been completely burned down, right?But I don't know if Zhen Shiyin has gone to become a monk with that monk now.Daiyu also had no answer in her heart.

Even so, on the second day Daiyu still asked Lin Yi's family to talk, and told the story of Yinglian in detail. They were all old men of the Lin family, so what was unclear?But he also felt sorry for Yinglian's experience, and soon went out to pass the message to Lin Yi, asking him to quickly arrange someone to find Yinglian's parents for Yinglian.

In a few days, I got the news that Zhen's house was completely destroyed by a fire a few years ago, and now Master Zhen lives in the old man's house, but I don't know if it is Yinglian's parents.Daiyu was very surprised when she heard this. Shouldn't Zhen Shiyin become a monk at this time?But she didn't mention this, and called Yinglian to explain the matter.

When Yinglian heard that the nearby Gourd Temple burned Zhen's house, she burst into tears and said repeatedly: "Girl, that's the slave's house, that's the slave's house! The slave remembers the house next door It's a temple." Of course Daiyu knew very well that it was Yinglian's home, but she just nodded slightly at this moment.

Naturally, the next step was to arrange for Yinglian to recognize her relatives. As soon as Master Zhen Shiyin heard about his daughter, he hurried over with Mrs. Feng. Mrs. Feng looked at Yinglian carefully for a long time, especially the rouge mole between her eyebrows. Suddenly, she hugged Yinglian and began to cry.

Since there is no male master in the house, Daiyu is not easy to meet even though she is young, so she invited Zhen Shiyin to wait in the side hall of the outer courtyard, and was received by the old housekeeper Lin Yi.After all, Zhen Shiyin was also from Shilin, so he understood the truth, so he followed the old housekeeper with gratitude.

But Zhen Shiyin kept turning around in the side hall at this moment, holding his right fist with his left hand at one moment, and the left fist with his right hand at another.Can't settle down for a moment.In my heart, I was afraid that it was not my daughter, and I would end up rejoicing in vain, but also worried that if my daughter was my daughter, what would I give to redeem her?
Mrs. Feng held Yinglian in her arms and wept for a long time before she stopped. Even kowtowing to the little Daiyu, she couldn't say a word.Seeing that Daiyu was sad, she asked Yinglian to take Mrs. Feng out to see Zhen Shiyin, and she didn't say too much to Mrs. Feng.

When Zhen Shiyin saw Yinglian, he seemed to know that this was his daughter without needing confirmation, and he didn't look at her for a long time like Mrs. Feng.As soon as Yinglian led Mrs. Feng to the side hall in the front yard, Zhen Shiyin strode up to her.Grabbing her shoulders, weeping and laughing, he said, "Okay, okay, I finally found it!"

After speaking, the father and daughter hugged their heads and cried again. When Yinglian led Mrs. Feng over, the old housekeeper Lin Yi had already left quietly. Space was reserved for this miserable family of three.So the three of them didn't feel embarrassed, they just cried out their love and longing to their heart's content.

In the evening, after Daiyu arranged for Zhen Shiyin and his wife to stay in the guest room in the outer courtyard, she called Yinglian to her side, looked into her eyes and asked earnestly, "What are your plans for your parents? What are your plans?" The tone was very gentle, but no one noticed Daiyu's hand under the table, and quietly squeezed it tightly.

Daiyu asked straightforwardly, but Yinglian knelt down and kowtowed to Daiyu without hesitation, and said, "I beg you, please let your servants go with your parents. Parents are old, and there are always people around." After hearing this, , Daiyu quietly clenched her fist and loosened it again, with the same expression on her face as before.

Daiyu didn't speak, just nodded and let Yinglian back down, then discussed with Aunt Luo and Nanny Yang who just came back.When Nanny Yang learned about the situation of Yinglian's family, she felt pity for her.But she couldn't make up her mind for Daiyu in this matter, so she hesitated and said: "If you can find a living, this Master Zhen doesn't look like a careless person."

Both Daiyu and Aunt Luo nodded in agreement.But Daiyu still hasn't made up her mind.On the second day, in front of Mrs. Feng, Daiyu called Yinglian to her, and after a long silence she said softly: "You have been by my side for these years, even though you have found your biological parents, I can't let you go." You." After saying that, he took the box from Jin'er and put it on the table.

After opening it, there was a body deed, which was signed when he bought Yinglian from the kidnapper, a land deed, and a house deed.Daiyu smiled and said: "There are ten acres of land here, and a second-entry house. When my mother's sister Kapok got married, she had a share. Now I have a share for you."

Speaking of this, Daiyu stopped to take a sip of tea, and regardless of Mrs. Feng's shocked eyes or Yinglian's tearful eyes, she continued slowly: "After all, Sister Kapok is the first-class girl around my mother, and she is also the mother's mother." You should be counted in such situations. Even though you are thicker than you, you should not dislike it. In the future, no matter whether it is an external hire or something, everyone in my courtyard will have a share."

Yinglian knelt heavily and cried: "Miss, please don't do this! But you have broken the servant! How can the servant compare with Sister Mu Mian? Not to mention anything else, Sister Mu Mian saved the wife back then." Yinglian Her eyes were clear and bright, with deep reluctance and gratitude, Daiyu could see clearly, she was also very satisfied in her heart, and secretly sighed: After all, she is a good girl.

Daiyu saw the smile on her face, her eyes were also full of joy, she smiled softly and said, "Why can't it be compared? Haven't you been by my side for many years? When you go back, you should honor your parents well. Kong'er can also come and see the sisters and me. Don't forget us!"

But Yinglian really didn't dare to answer, and she didn't want to answer, she broke down in tears and said: "Over the years, the girl has taught the slaves a lot of things, and even let the slaves learn to read and write, not to mention blurting out, at least the slaves can write and count. Be blind." At this point, Yinglian raised her head and looked at Daiyu seriously.

The tears in his eyes kept dripping, and he said in a daze: "Now the girl has found her parents for the servant and released her. The servant is already grateful, how dare you ask the girl for a reward? Does the girl feel that Without these rewards, can the slaves forget the girl?" After speaking, she kowtowed to Daiyu with tears streaming down her face.After a while, there were bloodshot eyes on his forehead.

Seeing this, Daiyu was also moved by Yinglian's sincerity and simplicity, so she got up and pulled her up personally, then wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you deserve this, I won't take you and her." Who can compare. In our yard, we are all a family, can we still distinguish between high and low? I will never give it to you when you get married in the future. Let’s take it now. "

Even Mrs. Feng at the side, after being shocked, shed tears and wanted to kowtow to Daiyu, saying that she didn't want Daiyu's reward.Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Daiyu said angrily to Mrs. Feng: "Although Yinglian suffered a little when she was a child, she is no worse than the girls from other families when she is with me these years! Now that you have taken her back, you have to take What takes care of her?"

After finishing speaking, she yelled at Yinglian in a low voice: "Are you only thinking about yourself? Don't you think about your parents? Your house is on fire, where do you want your parents to live? If it's not for you, you Why are your parents doing this?! Now you just keep it, and you will honor your parents and live a good life in the future! Remember to come and see me, that is the best reward for me."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she stuffed the box into Yinglian's arms. Jin'er Qiluo and the others did not expect Daiyu to say what they would say in the future, let alone what Daiyu would say to Mrs. Feng.Although a little shocked at this time, but more moved, they persuaded Yinglian to accept it, and helped Yinglian pack her things before sending her mother and daughter out.

At this time, Daiyu sighed in her heart, thinking that since she met her, she would help her, but there was only so much she could help, and with such an arrangement, she would not be able to meet that stupid king Xue Pan in the future. Bar?Not very sure in my heart.Originally, he planned to introduce Zhen Shiyin to the academy, but thought he didn't know his knowledge, so he gave up.
