Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 80 Visitor (2)

After hearing Daiyu's words, Wanyu smiled and said to Yang Nanny: "Thank you, Yang Nanny, for taking care of my poor girl." After speaking, she took Daiyu's hand pitifully, but Daiyu smiled and said : "Where is it pitiful? With the protection of my father, the care of my brothers and sisters, and the care of my sister-in-law, I will have to help my brother-in-law in the future."

Wanyu knew that this was Daiyu's retaliation for teasing her before, so she tapped her forehead and said, "It can be seen that she has no heart! She won't take any losses!" After speaking, she smiled without blaming her.Wang Xifeng laughed when he heard it from the side: "Isn't it just a temper that refuses to suffer? Carefully, you will suffer a lot later!"

The old nun next to Wanyu saw Wanyu's happy smile and knew that she was in a good mood, so she said to Wanyu, "Master, our sisters haven't seen each other for many years, so I wonder if we can talk alone." Wanyu Naturally, there is no disapproval, and said with a smile: "Liu Mama, go with Yang Mama, we will rest here tonight, there is no need to worry."

Daiyu heard that the two mothers wanted to chat alone, so she stood up and took Yang's arm and said, "Don't worry, mother, Yu'er will be obedient. You and Liu mother will have a good time, and we will eat and drink for a while." Let someone send you to Mama's room." Mama Yang looked at Daiyu lovingly and nodded before turning out with Mama Liu.

Just two steps away, Nanny Yang turned back and said to Daiyu, "Don't rush to take a bath after lunch, it's not too late to take a walk after a while. It hurts your stomach carefully." Daiyu smiled He nodded and said: "Okay, Mama said it many times, and Yu'er remembered it." Seeing this, Mama Yang led Mama Liu out again.

Daiyu also hurriedly asked people to prepare tea and melons and fruits to send to Madam Yang's room. Wanyu saw it funny and said: "Yu'er is kind-hearted, but after all there is a difference between master and servant. After careful consideration, I will deal with you." Wan Yu was afraid that Daiyu would be bullied by these servants because she had no elders around her, so she spoke.Daiyu naturally understood Wanyu's kindness, so she just smiled at her without explaining.

Since Daiyu has promised to go to the hot spring after lunch, there is no reason to go just now. She wanted to have someone boil the water and drink a couple of cups first, but she didn't want to say: "There is no need to rush Now, it will be beautiful to drink in your hot spring pool after lunch." Daiyu couldn't find this topic and chatted with Wanyu again.

At this time, the old sisters who had not seen each other for many years in Mammy Yang's room were chatting happily, Mammy Yang suddenly smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't know who else is here." Nanny Liu just smiled and looked at Yang without asking. Mammy said to the little girl beside her: "Yun Cui, go and invite Aunt Luo over, and tell me that someone I know has arrived."

Seeing that Nanny Yang said that an acquaintance had arrived, Nanny Liu couldn't help thinking that that acquaintance was also in the Lin residence.When Aunt Luo walked into Nanny Yang's room accompanied by Zhilan and Yun Cui, Nanny Liu suddenly narrowed her eyes.After sizing it up carefully, she looked at Nanny Yang uncertainly and asked, "But plain silk?"

Aunt Luo was also looking at Nanny Liu at first, but Nanny Liu was blessed after being pampered in the palace all these years.When these words came out, Aunt Luo immediately confirmed them, and said in surprise, "Aunt Liu?!"

At this moment, where is there any need for Madam Yang to explain?The two have confirmed their identities.Aunt Luo even stepped forward excitedly and took Nanny Liu's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but my aunt has changed so much that I almost couldn't recognize her anymore." As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

At this time, Nanny Liu said with red eyes: "I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still the same. I am relieved to see that you are well." After speaking, Nanny Liu looked at Aunt Luo in confusion and then Turning to look at Nanny Yang, she asked, "Why did you two enter the Lin family together? With your abilities..."

Before Mammy Liu finished speaking, Nanny Yang interjected: "Don't talk about that, the Lin family has treated us very well." Nanny Liu said disapprovingly: "Even if you are in Beijing, you can enter that palace casually. I won’t treat you badly! But you were all stubborn back then and insisted on leaving the capital.”

At this time, Aunt Luo sighed and said: "I just wanted to find my elder brother and sister-in-law, but I couldn't find it if I didn't want to. I think Aunt Yang also left to reunite with her family." There was emotion in her words.

Grandma Liu couldn't say anything more when she heard this, she just asked, "Do you two want to change places? I can help introduce it. These years..." Nanny Yang interrupted Grandma Liu again Mama said: "It's very good in the Lin Mansion, I don't plan to move the land anymore, Yu'er is very well-behaved, and she is also pitiful."

Aunt Luo also interjected: "Aunt Yang said very well, don't mention anything else, Yu'er is my apprentice who has arranged a banquet for a long time, and there is absolutely no reason to abandon her and go to another house. Mrs. Lin was still there. At the time, it was agreed that Yu'er will take care of me in the future, and I have nothing to plan for."

Hearing what the two said, Mother Liu also sighed unceasingly, thinking of Daiyu and Mother Yang's intimacy, she had no choice but to say: "Since the two of you have made up your mind, I won't say any more, Miss Lin is also very happy." The concubine and the county lord love her. Besides, I just saw that she is very close to Sister Yang."

When Nanny Liu mentioned that Daiyu was intimate with her, Nanny Yang smiled and said, "Isn't that what you said? People, it's all about fate. I have no children and no daughters in my life. I never thought that when I was old, I would meet someone like this." My girl, not to mention treating me like my own mother, but also sincerely treating me as an elder, there is absolutely no other family who treats me like a servant."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of tea and continued: "I'm afraid you don't know that my nephew and daughter-in-law came from their family. Although they were born as servants, they have not only released their registration, but also given them a good fortune. He is also very gentle and considerate, and he is filial to me." Seeing that the two of them looked satisfied, Madam Liu let go of her heart and talked about other things.

Wan Yu didn't want to taste Dai Yu's new tea at this time, the two hadn't seen each other for a few years and they had something to talk about, and Wang Xifeng had a lively personality, so they chatted happily and lively about many topics.After a while Jin'er came to ask where to set up the meal, Daiyu looked at Wanyu, Wanyu didn't choose a place, so she arranged lunch in the flower hall.

The three of them had lunch in the flower hall, and then went to the garden. Wanyu saw that Daiyu's plum garden was very unique, with white cobblestones laid under the plum trees, forming a flower pattern, and a bluestone path. runs through it.

Silver red, false cinnabar, bone red, plain white table pavilion, small green calyx and many other types are listed.There are also white and clean jade butterfly plums; green calyx plums with flowers like jasper calyx like emeralds; Several rare species.

In the middle of the whole garden, a circular open space was surrounded by red plum blossoms, and a plum blossom-shaped stone platform was built. There was no pavilion on it, but a stone table was placed.On the table is also carved a pattern of plum blossoms with twigs hanging upside down and sparse shadows slanting horizontally.There are no stone piers or stone benches.

Wan Yu climbed onto the stone platform and said with a smile, "It's an elegant thing to burn incense and play the piano here." But she didn't want Daiyu to burst out laughing, Wan Yu looked over in confusion and said, "Why? Could it be that I said Wrong?" Daiyu shook her head and said, "Sister, don't embarrass Yu'er, for the rhythm of the qin, Yu'er has ten orifices through nine orifices."

Wang Xifeng laughed and said: "That's not the same as me? I don't know anything!" Then she laughed, but Daiyu continued: "But sister Wan is right, the master was the last one when he was in the mansion. I like to play the piano here. Although I don’t know how to do it, I still like to listen to it.” After speaking, Daiyu tilted her head and looked at Wanyu, and said, “Why don’t sister play a piece too?”

Hearing that Mr. Huang also likes to play the piano here, Wan Yu thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, my sister has a good piano, why don't you give it to me to try." Jin'er turned around to get the piano without waiting for orders.After a while, a lyre was fetched, and Wan Yu asked, "Is this hidden by my sister? Or was it played by Mr. Huang?"

Before Daiyu could answer, Jin'er covered her mouth and said with a smile: "At the beginning Mr. Huang said he wanted to teach girls how to play the qin, so Tete went to find this guqin, but today is the first time he took it out. If Mr. Huang knows, It must be heartache." Wang Xifeng and others also laughed when they heard this, but Daiyu blushed for a moment.

Wanyu knew that Daiyu was not good at playing the qin, so she didn't make things difficult for her. Seeing that Jin'er had already placed the qin on the stone table, lit the Ningshen incense, and spread a thick cotton pad, she sat down in front of the qin .

Although the qin has no name, its whole body is pitch-black, faintly green, like green vines entangled on ancient trees.The strings are made of whole beef tendons, and when you pluck them lightly, the sound of the piano is light and clear, with a lingering aftertaste.Wan Yu couldn't help being startled, this qin looks like the rumored qin: Lu Qi.

Seeing Wanyu suddenly looking up at her, Daiyu didn't know why, so she asked, "Sister Wan, what's the matter? But this piano doesn't suit her?" After hearing what Daiyu said, Wanyu couldn't help sighing, secretly Thinking: This is the real secret casting of the pearl!Before Wanyu returned to Daiyu, she said to Jin'er: "Go and get the master's Qin, it is very good."

When Wanyu heard this, she couldn't help but give Daiyu a glance, thinking that she was born in a blessing and didn't know how to be blessed!Seeing that Jin'er had already turned around to get it, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "What's wrong with this Qin? It's a pity that this Qin followed my sister!"

While talking, Wanyu told Daiyu the story of Sima Xiangru again. How could Daiyu not know Sima Xiangru because she was familiar with ancient books?Even if he doesn't know anything else, he also knows that "Ru Yu Fu" was exchanged for Lu Qi.I also know that Sima Xiangru got acquainted with Zhuo Wenjun with a piece of "Zixu Fu", and even eloped with Zhuo Wenjun who was deceived by a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix".

What's more, because Sima Xiangru wanted to take a concubine, Sima Xiangru's wife wrote a line in "White Head Yin", "I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated" has been passed down through the ages.Up to now, their love story has also been talked about with great enthusiasm, and it has been passed down as a good story?

Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed: "Could it be that my sister meant it! This Qin is Sima Xiangru's green Qi?!" Don't say that Daiyu was too excited, it would be anyone else , I'm afraid I can't calm down at this time.

Wan Yu was not sure, so she checked carefully again.Even Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to observe carefully.Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Sister, you really scared me to death! I remember that there is an inscription in the book saying: 'Tongzi Hejing', but this piano doesn't have it. I guess the master did it for me. It’s just a copy.”
