Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 78
After they discussed it, Mammy Yang called Zheng Guang to speak, and Daiyu came forward to find Qi Luo.Jia Lian naturally took advantage of this spare time to comfort Wang Xifeng. Although Jia Lian said last night that he would return to Yangzhou today, Wang Xifeng agreed, but the situation is different now.

Since Wang Xifeng had promised Jia Lian to go to Yangzhou before, he naturally had no reason to go back on his word at this time.Furthermore, I also know that both Zhao Bing and Zheng Guang are skilled people, at least with these two people around, no one would dare to make trouble in the dark.Wang Xifeng was also relieved a lot, she didn't believe at all that someone would dare to take action against the second-rank official, Dr. Lantai Temple.

Zheng Guang has always wanted to find a job, but he was worried about his aunt. Now that he wants to go to Mr. Lin's side to work as an errand, it would be good for his wife and children to go to the house to stay with his aunt.As for Qi Luo, upon hearing this matter, she said without discussing with Zhao Bing: "Fuck him, slaves will never leave the girl's side!"

Daiyu was moved, but still said: "Where is there any reason for him to go alone? Not to mention other things, just say that there is only Aunt Liu in the inner house over there. I am not at ease. Go and help me see One or two, if there is anything, please let someone inform me."

When Daiyu said this, Qi Luo finally hesitated, she didn't like that Aunt Liu at first, although she was honest when she looked at Aunt Liu in the end, but she was not very respectful to her wife at first.Undecided for a moment, he stomped his feet and said, "Isn't there no one around the girl? How can I rest assured?"

Jin'er, who had just entered the door, listened to these words, and then asked: "Could it be that in my sister's heart, we are all beautiful puppets standing up?" Qi Luo knew that she had said something wrong, and quickly apologized to Jin'er , and asked Jin'er to help him plead not to go to Yangzhou.Jin'er looked at Daiyu, and before she could speak, Daiyu opened her mouth.

Daiyu looked at Qiluo and said very seriously: "Sister Qiluo is going to Yangzhou for me, I am really worried about my father. I can't say..." Daiyu's eyes were red when she said this, When Jin'er and Qi Luo saw it, they panicked and asked: "What's the matter, girl? Why are you crying when you're fine? Can't I go?"

After finishing speaking, Qi Luo said with a little anger: "I know that the girl can't see me, so I went to Yangzhou City to hide far away, and the girl should stop crying soon, because you hurt your eyes carefully." But Daiyu's tears flowed more and more. Duo, sobbing: "Father, I'm afraid it's not very good at this time. My sister is going to take a look for Yu'er, so at least she quietly sent someone to report to me."

These words surprised both Qi Luo and Jin Er!The two hurriedly asked: "Miss, how did you say that? Not to mention that Yangzhou didn't send a letter, even Young Master Biao didn't say anything when he came back?"

Daiyu didn't answer, she just looked at Qiluo and said, "I'm afraid I can't call other people. My father probably locked the news, and my brother didn't tell me. Sister Qiluo is going to take care of me now." Look, no matter what, you must send me an assurance letter, but don't hide anything from me! Now I only have my father!"

Qi Luo knew that the matter was of great importance, so she nodded and agreed no longer.Daiyu quietly packed a lot of medicinal materials from the warehouse, especially the medicinal materials for detoxification and trauma, and asked Qi Luo to take them to Yangzhou and hand them over to her master Huang Jiyun.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng was worried about Jia Lian being alone in Yangzhou and taking care of everyone, so she asked Hongxiu to go with her, but Jia Lian couldn't shirk it, so she had to take it with her, so she had two accompanying women.

There were two women accompanying them in a carriage, and the speed of the journey was naturally greatly reduced. Jia Lian was worried, how could Lin Ruhai be willing to accommodate the speed of these two people?So he asked Zhao Bing to take care of the two, planning to go ahead by himself.But he didn't want Zhao Bing to say: "The young one and Master Biao will go ahead and let Zhao'er and Xing'er follow them."

As soon as Zhao Bing finished speaking, Qi Luo returned: "Let Xing'er Zhao'er follow Miss Hongxiu, give me a horse, and I'll go with you." After speaking, she jumped out of the carriage involuntarily.Zhao Bing looked at Jia Lian, then at Qi Luo, wanting to persuade him, but Qi Luo said, "I'm only doing it for the girl! Bring me a horse."

Zhao Bing knew her temperament, so he had no choice but to turn around and lead the horse, but Hongxiu really couldn't ride a horse, so he could only sit quietly in the car.When Jia Lian heard that Qi Luo was going to ride a horse, and saw that Zhao Bing did not stop him and actually led the horse, he couldn't help looking at Qi Luo curiously.

Thinking of Daiyu's miserable look before, and thinking of Jia Lian's concealment of Lin Ruhai's affairs from Daiyu, Qiluo was also angry with Jia Lian, so she gave him a hard look, turned around and walked away.Jia Lian naturally didn't understand why he suddenly became dissatisfied with him when he was doing well?I thought it was because I wanted to take a step ahead.He just smiled and didn't explain.

Since then, the group of eight people has been divided into two groups. Qi Luo follows Jia Lian, Zhao Bing and Zheng Guang on horseback, and Xing'er Zhao'er protects Hongxiu who is in the car and follows closely, regardless of the bumps.

After they left, Daiyu became more and more silent.Even in the past, I stopped practicing calligraphy and painting in the morning, and often just stared at a pond of withered lotus in a daze.

The former son Daiyu was chatting and laughing with Wang Xifeng, sometimes very eccentric, but looking at Daiyu in front of him now, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel a little distressed.This is a little girl who is less than ten years old. If she doesn't know it, she may think it is an old man who has gone through vicissitudes.

Not to mention that Wang Xifeng was anxious looking at it, but Nanny Yang and the others were even more angry.But Daiyu eats at what time and sleeps at what time.Talking and doing things together with Wang Xifeng also has a clear mind.It's just that I love to be in a daze more and more.Everyone knew that she was worried about Yangzhou, but they didn't know how to comfort her.

Another seven or eight days later, Kapok came to Daiyu's room and talked for a long time, neither talking about things nor leaving, and it was time for lunch.Kapok also became more and more anxious.Jin'er naturally also saw that Kapok wanted to talk to Daiyu alone, so she sent Zhixuan to see if the lunch was ready, and asked Hanxiao to invite Wang Xifeng.

Jin'er was about to leave, but Mu Mian stopped her.She blushed and said, "Sister, don't worry too much. It was Qi Luo who told me that I would definitely give it to the girl alone." When Jin'er heard that it was so, she just smiled and nodded.He went to guard the door by himself.

Daiyu's eyes lit up suddenly and she asked, "Qiluo asked sister to give me something?" Mu Mian looked around, then quietly took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Daiyu.Daiyu looked at the letter but didn't answer it, she just looked at the kapok and asked, "When did Qiluo give it to sister?"

Mu Mian stuffed the letter into Daiyu's arms and said with a smile: "Last night, Qiluo's mother came to knock on my door and stuffed me with a bag, saying that Qiluo sent it to me from Yangzhou. I thought it was something, open it." Come to see that it is just a set of old clothes, and then see that there are two letters inside, one of which has the girl's letter written on it. If not, then I will send it to the girl."

Daiyu was holding the letter in her hand at this time, and her whole body was trembling slightly.She wanted to open it to take a look, but she was afraid of getting bad news from it.After hesitating for a while, Daiyu finally put the letter in her hand into Mu Mian's bosom and said, "Sister, help me see what Qi Luo said?" After speaking, she looked at Mu Mian expectantly.

Daiyu stared at Kapok tightly, as if she was afraid of missing something.Kapok couldn't help looking at Daiyu nervously, and then at the letter in his hand.In fact, Kapok really wants to say at this moment: Miss, how can I read your letters!But looking at little Daiyu's face full of tension and eyes full of anticipation, after all, she couldn't speak.

Under Daiyu's nervous gaze, Kapok couldn't help becoming nervous, trembling for a long time before opening the letter, just after reading a line of words, Kapok's expression changed.Daiyu was so startled that she grabbed the letter and read it by herself, while Mu Mian got up and turned to Daiyu to look down.

Looking at Kapok, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "This Qiluo is really scary! You don't have to scare people to death." Daiyu also let out a long sigh of relief: "It's okay!" After finishing speaking, she posted the letter Tears flowed silently on his chest.

Seeing this, Mu Mian comforted her and said: "Although the master was injured a few days ago, it was not serious, and Mr. Huang arrived in time. I don't think there will be any root cause of the disease. The girl really doesn't have to worry about it. The master Isn't it ready to come back? The girl should be happy!"

It turned out that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Ruhai routinely inspected the salt fields, and did not want the salt riots to happen.I don't want to be hit on the head with a stick and get hurt.When Song Shi and others sent Lin Ruhai back to the mansion with the help of the water transportation yamen, it happened that Zhao'er went to Yangzhou to send a letter to Lin Ruhai saying that Jia Lian had passed the exam.

Jia Lian knew that Daiyu had to hide the illness, so naturally Lin Ruhai would not let Zhaoer tell about her injury.But how much Zhaoer understands the importance of Lin Ruhai!Leaving from Daiyu, she immediately went to Jinling to inform Jia Lian that Lin Ruhai was injured.

When Jia Lian got the news, it was already ten days after the exam, and his body had already recovered. How could he stay there when he learned that Lin Ruhai was injured?Naturally, they rushed over, but at this time Qi Luo wrote that Lin Ruhai had recovered from his overseas injuries, and reassured Daiyu, and said that Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian and others would rush back to Gusu in ten days or so.

Daiyu also knew in her heart that getting rid of clothes was a big deal, but she never thought that Lin Ruhai would come back because of this. Thinking that she hadn't seen Lin Ruhai for a long time, Daiyu must be lying if she said she was not excited.

Seeing that Daiyu and Mumian had lost their voices, Jin'er couldn't help feeling very nervous. It happened that Zhixuan came to ask Daiyu when she would go to the flower hall for dinner. It turned out that Wang Xifeng was already waiting there.Jin'er just took advantage of this to enter the house.

Seeing Jin'er coming in, Daiyu wiped away her tears and asked, "What's the matter?" Mu Mian laughed when she heard that, looked at Daiyu and said, "My dear girl, are you confused? Jin'er comes in at this time, probably the lunch has already been set! Grandma Lian is waiting for you to eat!"

Daiyu regained her composure when she heard that Wang Xifeng was waiting for her to eat, and hurriedly asked Jin Er to wait for her to wash her face again before preparing to go, who knows that Wang Xifeng is notoriously quick-tempered, how can she wait?Seeing that Daiyu hadn't come for so long, and thinking about Daiyu's abnormality recently, she was worried that something might happen, so she turned around by herself.

As soon as Daiyu left the house, she saw Wang Xifeng walking slowly into her yard, supporting An'er with one hand and her stomach with the other.

Naturally, Daiyu wouldn't stand and wait for Wang Xifeng to come over, so she hurriedly stepped forward to replace An'er and supported Wang Xifeng, "Why did my sister-in-law come?" She raised her head and said, "Isn't this over?" After speaking, she raised her head and smiled sweetly at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was about to say something, but when she saw Daiyu's bright smile, she was taken aback for a moment, and forgot what she was about to say.When Wang Xifeng came back to his senses, he tapped her forehead and said, "Tell me what's so good about it? Can't you keep it from me?"

Daiyu laughed more and more happily, but she didn't say what it was, she just tilted her head and said, "Sister-in-law guess it! You guessed it right..." Daiyu stopped at this point, just staring at Watching Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng interjected and asked: "Quickly tell me, how do you guess?"

Daiyu said at this time: "I got it right, my sister-in-law won't be in the mood to eat now! Let's go eat first!" After speaking, she laughed, and Wang Xifeng was so angry that she pointed her finger on the forehead .

Daiyu pouted, rubbed her forehead and complained: "No wonder people say: 'It's not that one family doesn't enter the same family'! Look at my sister-in-law who is learning from her elder brother, always thinking about my forehead!" Look at Daiyu Wang Xifeng was overjoyed by that small appearance, and felt relieved, Daiyu was finally back to normal!So they didn't bother with her, and the aunt and sister-in-law went to the flower hall arm in arm.

After the meal, Wang Xifeng couldn't bear to ask: "This meal is also finished, tell me what's good about it?" At this time, Daiyu didn't hide anymore, and said with a smile: "Of course it's a good thing! My brother is coming back, and my father is coming back too!"

Hearing that Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai were coming back, Wang Xifeng was stunned, and quickly asked, "Uncle's errand...?" Seeing that Wang Xifeng first thought of Lin Ruhai, Daiyu said warmly in her heart: "I don't know anything else, I guess Just come back for three or two days when the service is removed."

Hearing Daiyu talk about getting rid of her clothes, Wang Xifeng remembered that Daiyu would be leaving the filial piety in less than [-] days.Then she said happily: "Look at me, I forgot about this!" After speaking, Wang Xifeng said to An'er: "You are not needed here, go and get the things prepared for my sister!"

Seeing An'er nodded and left, Wang Xifeng smiled at Daiyu: "I prepared some greeting gifts when I came here, but we forgot it was the first meeting when we hit it off. The things are also put in the box. Now you don't Speaking of getting rid of it, I'm afraid I have to take it back!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng looked at Daiyu full of ridicule and said: "It can be seen that you are reluctant to part with my good things! Baba came to remind me about getting rid of clothes." Daiyu was not annoyed when Wang Xifeng said so, she just smiled and said: " My sister-in-law hides all the good things, since it is rare to bring them all the way to me, how can I ask my sister-in-law to bring them back?" After speaking, both sister-in-law and sister-in-law laughed.

Daiyu and Daiyu chatted and laughed for a while, and An'er took the things over.I saw that An'er was holding a tray covered with red silk in her hand, and without opening it, she put it in Wang Xifeng's hand, but Wang Xifeng didn't give it to Daiyu and just smiled: "Call me twice, my sister-in-law, I'm so good." You will be rewarded!"

Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Could it be that my sister-in-law took it back if I didn't call?" After speaking, she pursed her lips and looked at Fang Liang, but she didn't even look at Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng was funny and angry at the same time, and scolded with a smile: "I have never seen such a thick-skinned lady like you." After speaking, she pushed the tray to Daiyu.

Daiyu lifted the red silk and said with a smile: "It's an old saying, the thin-skinned are starved to death, and the thick-skinned are starved to death. I don't want to be starved to death that day!" Wang Xifeng also laughed when she heard that.Seeing a set of ruby ​​bangles on the tray, the smallest gemstones are the size of a pea, very bright and eye-catching, but Daiyu reached out and picked up the pair of jadeite bracelets.

Daiyu could tell at a glance that it was a floating flower of the ice species, which is rare in later generations. Although the emperor green full of water is more valuable, Daiyu loves this kind of floating flower of the ice species.So I held it in my hand and couldn't bear to let it go.Wang Xifeng saw it and said with a smile: "It can be seen that I don't know good things! What's so good about that bracelet? Let's see if you like it?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng picked up one of the hairpins and gestured on Daiyu's head, nodded and said: "In a few days, I will just use it to get rid of my clothes, and I will wear it with a bright red shirt, not to mention how beautiful it is!"

After hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Daiyu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, don't worry!" She took the hairpin and looked at it again and then said, "I'm afraid it's because my sister-in-law has a good heart! I didn't expect it to be cheap for me."

Wang Xifeng didn't deny it either, and said with a smile: "It's cheap or not. Although we are sisters-in-law, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are sisters! In the future, even if you call me sister, I will respond."
