Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 82 Visiting Hanshan Temple Again (1)

On the evening of the sixth day of the lunar new year, Lu Qing came to report and said, "Mother Sun has already ordered two monasteries in the temple." Daiyu laughed and said, "Why didn't Mother Sun come and tell me?" Lu Qing was a little at a loss He said: "Mama...hasn't come back." Daiyu burst out laughing when she heard this.

Wang Xifeng and Wanyu looked at Daiyu in confusion, and Daiyu smiled for a long time before saying, "Nurse Sun is afraid that I won't let her go, so she won't come back." After finishing speaking, she explained the matter about Xuanmu Mountain. The two of Wanyu said it again.Wan Yu frowned upon hearing this.But Wang Xifeng's fiery temperament was ignited all of a sudden.

The eyebrows of the two curved willow leaves stood upright at the moment and said angrily: "Why didn't my sister say it earlier? Such a slave should be sent away! There is no distinction between superiors and inferiors." Daiyu sighed and said: "Sister-in-law, don't get angry. Be careful to be angry with my little nephew. After all, Grandma Sun is also for me, and besides, she is still mother's nanny, how can she not give her a favor?"

Wan Yu nodded after hearing this and said: "My sister is soft-hearted, just don't be bullied, otherwise I will ask my concubine mother to send me an old nanny later? With concubine mother watching, come someone I definitely wouldn't dare to bully my sister."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Sister, don't bother the princess, it's pretty good now, how can I need so many people by myself?" After speaking, seeing Wang Xifeng still angry, he couldn't help but have another meal Good advice.

After persuading Wang Xifeng, the three of them rested early after dinner. Early the next morning, Daiyu asked Nanny Chen to look after the house, and invited Aunt Luo and Nanny Yang to guard the house together. He drove to Hanshan Temple with seven or eight carriages.

It's still the old Qingshi Road, the bustling neighborhood, even the Maple Bridge hasn't changed a single bit, but the people who accompany me in the car can't find Jia Min anymore.After passing the single-hole stone arch bridge across the canal, Hanshan Temple is already in sight.

Getting off the car in front of the mountain gate, Aunt Luo saw that Daiyu's complexion was not very good, so she walked over, took her gently in her arms and said, "Don't think about it, Yuer, the deceased is dead. If your mother sees Daiyu With your appearance like this, I am afraid that my heart will not be able to rest in peace."

Grandma Sun, who came out to greet Daiyu, heard these words, her eyes were red for a moment, and she stood in front of Daiyu and comforted her: "Miss, don't think too much, since you have come to the temple, please take good care of me." Madame burns incense sticks, madam knows your filial piety even if she is alive in heaven." After speaking, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

At this time Wan Yu and Wang Xifeng also came over, and after listening to their words, Fang remembered that Jia Min brought Daiyu to Hanshan Temple last time.I didn't know what to say for a moment.Daiyu also knew that everyone was worried, so she looked at Nanny Sun and Aunt Luo and said, "It's time to burn the incense sticks. Don't worry about me, you guys should go in first."

Seeing this, Wanyu smiled and said, "Since we're here, my sister will go to settle down with Sister Feng first, and I'll wait for you at my concubine's place first." Seeing Daiyu nodding, Wanyu led the people in first. .At this time, the Zhike monk also came over, and after calling the Buddha's name, he led Daiyu and his party inside.

After traveling all the way, it is natural not to go to incense first.Daiyu and Wang Xifeng followed the Zhike monk to the Buddhist temple to freshen up.When she arrived at the Buddhist monastery, Daiyu saw that there were only two rooms in the small courtyard, one bright and one dark.At this time, it was already crowded with people, and I was speechless for a while.

She alone brought Nanny Sun, Nanny Yang, Aunt Luo, Hanxiao, Zhixuan, An'er, and Ning'er.Nanny Yang brought Jing'er again, and Xiu'er beside Aunt Luo naturally followed.In addition, Wang Xifeng also followed Aunt Fei and An'er, and there were already a dozen people here.Not to mention the place where I live, even the station is too crowded.

Daiyu took a deep breath before turning her head to look at Nanny Sun and said, "Can't Madam set up a monastery again? You see, my sister-in-law and I naturally live in the same courtyard, and Nanny Yang and Aunt Luo can also live in the same courtyard. You and Mrs. Fei also need a yard, don't you?"

Grandma Sun shook her head and said, "Originally I planned to reserve two more courtyards, but now that there are so many people offering incense, and the Wang family of Wu County occupies another ten or so courtyards, there are no other empty courtyards."

When Nanny Sun said this, Daiyu couldn't say anything more, but looked at everyone in embarrassment, not knowing what to do for a while.But Wang Xifeng said to Aunt Fei: "You take the master's name card and go to the host, and see if you can move a yard for us."

Daiyu didn't expect Wang Xifeng to do this, but at this time, she reminded Daiyu that anyone in Jia's mansion in the capital can handle things with name cards, so she couldn't help but keep it in her heart, thinking of reminding Jia Lian in the future Thought about this matter, but did not mention it at this time.

Mrs. Fei left quickly and came back quickly.What he said was the same as Grandma Sun.So Wang Xifeng also frowned.Coincidentally, Wanyu waited for a long time at the princess of Wujun, but she didn't see Daiyu passing by, so she came to look for her.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw more than a dozen people standing in the middle of the courtyard, all kinds of things were piled up in the yard, he couldn't help but glanced at Mammy Liu who was following him, and Mammy Liu walked up to Nanny Yang and asked: "What's the matter, old sister?"

As soon as Nanny Liu spoke, everyone realized that Wan Yu was already standing at the door.When Daiyu saw Wanyu, she immediately blushed, and said in embarrassment, "Didn't sister say she was waiting for me at the princess's place? Why did you come here?"

Wan Yu glanced at Dai Yu angrily and said, "How can I know that your place is in such a mess if I don't come here? You don't know how to send someone to tell me if the yard is not enough? You still call me sister! No way Called in vain."

Wan Yu walked in while talking, seeing that the courtyard is really small, and asked: "Is there only this one?" Daiyu shook her head quickly and said: "How can it be, there is another courtyard like this, I don't want to This time, there are too many people, and there is no room for them.”

Daiyu's voice became softer, Wanyu said angrily, "Could it be that you can't come to me? Can't I arrange a yard for you?" After finishing speaking, she ignored everyone and turned her head to Wang Xifeng, saying: " Sister Feng will temporarily live in my yard tonight, and the three of us will live together tonight." After speaking, he dragged Daiyu out of the yard.

Wan Yu didn't go to the Princess's courtyard either, so Wan Yu led Daiyu and Wang Xifeng back to her small courtyard. Although this courtyard was also called a small courtyard, it was far from the small courtyard Daiyu used to be.There are three main rooms, and two side rooms, one bright and one dark.Daiyu had to lament that privileges are everywhere.

After Daiyu finished washing, Wanyu asked Wang Xifeng to rest first, and led Daiyu to the princess's courtyard.Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Shizi Hongjin walked out, Daiyu hurriedly stepped aside to salute, Wanyu also called out sweetly: "Brother!" After speaking, she went up to greet her.

Hong Jin smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were going to see Miss Lin?" Wan Yu said with a mysterious smile, "Of course I've been!" Naturally, Hong Jin could see that this was not Wan Yu's maid, but felt that she was very kind.

Hong Jin couldn't remember where she saw her before, so she couldn't help but looked at Wan Yu and asked, "This is...?" Hongjin couldn't help looking at Daiyu here, and asked uncertainly, "But Miss Lin?"

Daiyu respectfully said: "Lin Hui has met the prince." Hongjin no longer had the slightest doubt when he heard the voice, and then smiled and said, "You are still so polite!" Daiyu lowered her head with a slight smile, but did not Don't talk to me.Wan Yu interjected: "Isn't she just a polite person? I went there a while ago and planned to salute me." But I don't know how Hong Jin would like to listen to her at this time?
Hongjin felt dazzled by Daiyu's smile, and unconsciously remembered the scene of the last time they met. The two figures dangled in front of his eyes and then merged into one. Today's Daiyu is actually more graceful than she was back then , the demeanor is even better!I couldn't move my eyes away for a while.

Wanyu naturally saw Hongjin's expression in her eyes, and seeing that Hongjin didn't respond to her, she said softly: "We still have to visit the mother and concubine, brother should go when he has something to do." After speaking, she pulled Daiyu and wanted to go in.

Hong Jin also came back to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but blush when he thought of the lack of focus just now, coughed lightly and said: "Go, mother and concubine think it's a hurry, let's get together later. I miss the Lin family very much. Where's my sister's tea?" After speaking, she glanced here and there as if to cover up, but Wan Yu snorted and said, "Isn't that the tea my sister gave me, that's the time you want to go the most?"

After Wanyu finished speaking, she ignored Hongjin and led Daiyu into the courtyard.Hong Jin looked at the backs of the two at the door for a long time before turning and leaving.

As soon as Wan Yu and her two arrived at the gate of the courtyard, someone reported to the princess. Seeing Daiyu coming in and wanting to salute, the princess smiled and said, "No wonder everyone says you are very polite! Come quickly and come to me, our mother and I have been together for many years." No see, we have to have a good chat."

It was still after a salute that Daiyu walked lightly to the princess and stood still. The princess took her hand, looked it up and down carefully, and said: "It's really more and more beautiful!" Then she pulled Dai Yu sat down beside her.

Wan Yu pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Could it be that I'm getting uglier? I don't want my concubine to talk like this." The princess glanced at Wan Yu and said, "Look carefully, you really are! No Your younger sister Lin is beautiful." After speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed without looking at Wan Yu's pretended aversion.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't speak, she said, "You don't have to be cautious when you come to me. I have eaten your tea all these years." When Daiyu heard the princess talking about tea, she squatted lightly and said, "The princess is willing to eat jade." Er'er's tea is Yu'er's blessing."

After speaking, he turned around and took the two pots in Zhixuan's hand, saying: "This is Yu'er's newly made lotus heart tea. It clears the fire and relieves heat, and it tastes very good with sweet-scented osmanthus juice. There are many teas made in the south. Yes, but Wangfei is going to the north, so I don’t think she has any preparations. Let’s take it to taste and it will be smooth.”

Wan Yu was dissatisfied and said, "What's smooth? This tea is very good!" After finishing speaking, she looked at the princess with satisfaction and said, "Yu'er's Mansion took a look at the hot spring, soaked in the spring water and drank this tea, that's the real feeling." It’s so beautiful! Especially the sweet-scented osmanthus juice, even if it’s mixed with water, it’s also delicious.”

Hearing what Wanyu said, the princess couldn't help taking the two clay pots with her own hands, and gently opened one. Seeing that the mouth of the pot was not made of pottery, but a wooden stopper wrapped in fine cotton, she smiled and said: "Yu'er is still like this." Be careful." Opening the slightly heavy one, a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus mixed with sweetness floated out.

After smelling the fragrance, the princess laughed and said, "It's really wonderful!" After speaking, she was carefully put away.Wan Yu couldn't help but asked loudly: "My concubine won't let someone burn the lotus leaf water, soak it out and taste it?" The princess gave her an angry look and said, "Since you have eaten it, why bother to miss me? It’s just a jar, you don’t have to spoil it.”

Hearing what the princess said, Daiyu couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said: "It's not something expensive, it's just that I haven't tried it in previous years, but now it's very good, next year I will make more and send it to the princess." Daiyu smiled and said, "This is my own daughter!"

The concubine sighed after finishing speaking: "If your mother hadn't been reluctant, wouldn't she be my daughter?" Wan Yu smiled at this time: "Isn't my sister the concubine's daughter? Let's talk about it." Wan Yu intentionally paused for a moment before saying, "Girls are not as close as daughters-in-law."

Wanyu was originally a joke, but the concubine frowned and reprimanded: "This is what your boudoir girl should say! It's getting more and more out of order!" Not to mention Daiyu, even Wanyu was frightened one jump.

But the concubine found that although Daiyu blushed a little when Wanyu said this, she never showed anything else from the beginning to the end, she just kept her head down as if she didn't hear it.He couldn't help but nodded in his heart.He secretly sighed in his heart: Mother Yang really deserves to be from the Empress Dowager's Palace, this rule is taught very well.

Daiyu and Wanyu chatted and laughed with the princess for a while, and when they saw the tiredness on the princess's face, they both got up and said goodbye.The princess heard that the courtyard that Daiyu had ordered was not enough to live in, so she would stay in the Wanyu courtyard tonight, so she just nodded and said: "Don't play around too late, you should rest early." After speaking, let the two leave .
