Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 89 First Arrival in Kyoto

Chapter 89 First Arrival in Kyoto
Daiyu loaded five large ships with just a salute, and took two servants with her. After all, almost all the people in Gusu were taken, and only less than ten people were left to take care of the yard. The lotus pond, bamboo grove, and flower garden were apportioned to the two families to manage them.

First, it can increase some income, and second, it can better maintain the house.In addition, Daiyu will send people back to repair the ancestral house every year. Of course, there is no need to talk to those two families about these things. of.

The accounts of other families are calculated once a year, but Daiyu’s accounts are calculated twice a year here, but Daiyu does not do the accounting entirely by herself. Daiyu will let these stewards draw lots one by one, divide them into three random groups, and then randomly To distribute the account books, Daiyu will randomly select a few books from these account books, ranging from a dozen to a dozen.

It all depends on luck, so no one dares to cheat easily.This also made these stewards more united. Most of the time, they work together to deal with some things. Daiyu's industry has gradually formed an industrial chain. This is a complete surprise.

Therefore, Daiyu took away all the people who could be taken away. She knew very well in her heart that in the future, she would mostly live in the capital, so naturally she also needed to cultivate industries in the capital.Daiyu didn't care about anything else. Hearing Wang Xifeng mention that there are hot spring villages in the suburbs of Beijing, and that many families have established hot spring villages, Daiyu was very moved.

Although it is impossible to operate and make money like those hot spring villas in later generations, Daiyu can establish a three-dimensional industrial chain, so that her own eating, drinking, and entertainment can all be solved in one step.Of course Daiyu didn't tell anyone this.

We only set off at the end of April, so the Dragon Boat Festival is naturally spent on the boat, but this time the Dragon Boat Festival was very interesting.

Didn't Daiyu and his party have eight or nine ships?Although they are not dragon boats, Daiyu held a unique boat race.Wang Xifeng was very interested in this and strongly supported it, and even made suggestions, while Jia Lian strongly disagreed. Wouldn't everyone be dispersed in this way?How to ensure the safety of people and products on board?
Jia Lian didn't know that most of the so-called belongings in these boats were furniture and things. Although they were rare, they were not the focus of Daiyu's attention. All the calligraphy, painting and ancient books were properly loaded on Daiyu's own boat.Furthermore, Daiyu was very reassuring about the people in her mansion, so the boat race started on the morning of the fifth day of May.

Daiyu and Xifeng each took out a reward for the first place and the second and third place respectively, the rest of them got no rewards, only two big meat dumplings each.For a time, everyone happily sailed and turned the rudder, scrambling to move forward.

Lin Ruhai also asked people from the Cao Gang to help take care of Daiyu. Now that Daiyu's boats were scattered, he thought something had happened, so he sent someone to inquire with Jia Lian, only to learn that Daiyu was preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival. There is a boat race, and everyone shows interest.

After Wang Xifeng found out, she suggested to Daiyu that these Cao Gangs should also participate, and it would be more interesting if there were more people and more boats.Daiyu thought that since Lin Ruhai entrusted Cao Gang to take care of her, she thought that she had a good relationship. She thought that Lin Ruhai was trapped in the salt field a few years ago, and it was the Caoyun Yamen who came to relieve the siege, so she was also happy to make friends with them.

Soon people from the Cao Gang joined in, but one boat did not advance as fast as the other boats, but slowly approached the big boat where Daiyu and the others were, guarding the boat with Jia Lian, and the big boat where Daiyu and Wang Xifeng were.

The whole journey was smooth and smooth without any disturbances. After a busy day, everyone was exhausted in the evening, so they stopped at the shore early to rest.

Daiyu suddenly heard a flute sound from a distance while she seemed to be asleep, which seemed to be very similar to what Hanshan Temple heard.Although Daiyu is not very familiar with rhythm, she can clearly feel the sadness in the sound of the flute.

Recalling that Wanyu said that Mo Xuan was missing her mother, Daiyu was still feeling emotional for a while.Thinking of Wanyu's letter saying that Prince Wu's family was stranded in the capital for something and could not return to their residence, Mo Xuan would never travel alone.

But now she heard the sound of the flute again, although Daiyu had no proof, she knew in her heart that the person who played the flute today was the same person from Hanshan Temple that day.Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help guessing that hearing the sound of the flute twice was by chance?Is it a coincidence?Still deliberate!

After several guesses to no avail, Dai Yufang fell asleep with the sound of the flute on her pillow.It was like this for the next few days.Daiyu inquired Jia Lian and learned that it was someone playing the flute on a Cao Gang boat not far away. She became even more suspicious, but made no progress.

So until the sound of the flute suddenly stopped two days ago, Daiyu was surprised for a while, but because she was about to enter Jia's mansion, she felt uneasy, so she let it go.

Tomorrow we will land in Tongzhou, and now it is not far from the capital, Daiyu approached Wang Xifeng and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think I should go to my grandparents' house first after washing and recuperating, or go straight there?" I want to see how Wang Xifeng chooses, and see if Wang Xifeng treats her sincerely during the past few months.

Sure enough, Wang Xifeng did not disappoint Daiyu, only to see Wang Xifeng slightly frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Although it has been announced that my sister will arrive soon, we don't know what is going on in the mansion, and what's the reason why we don't enter our house? Is it possible that my younger sister has become the great Yu who controls the water?"

Speaking of which, Wang Xifeng actually laughed and said: "Sister, let's go back and freshen up. When I go back, I will clean up first. When the arrangement is ready, I will send someone to pick up my sister, or I will pick up my sister in person. Yes, just to see how the house that Qi Luo has cleaned up for her younger sister looks like."

Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Daiyu felt at ease, and felt that it was not in vain to treat her mother and son sincerely these past few months.I also thought that in the original book, Daiyu didn't even have a house to live in at that time, and now there are two people, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian.So I settled down.

Going upstream all the way, Daiyu and his party finally arrived in the capital on the third day of June.Naturally, Jia Lian first protected Wang Xifeng, mother and son, and Daiyu on the boat and changed into a soft sedan chair before disembarking.At this time, someone from Jia's house was already waiting on the shore. As soon as they saw Jia Lian, they came to see Jia Lian immediately.

Jia Lian knew that Daiyu wanted to go back to the Lin Mansion to rest first, and also knew that it was Wang Xifeng's attention, so she naturally agreed.But you can't say this directly to Old Madam Jia, otherwise you may cause trouble, so you only said to the visitor: "Go and report to the old lady first, Uncle Lin asked my younger sister to go back to the house to take care of some general affairs, I'm afraid I have to go home first."

After thinking about it for a while, if I don't give old lady Jia a deadline, I am afraid that I will complain and complain when I go back, so I continued: "Just say that three days will be a good day, and I will pick up my sister in person." Without thinking too much, after hearing Jia Lian's order, he immediately went back to report to Mrs. Jia.

Jia Lian came to Daiyu and said through the sedan chair curtain: "The ancestors have arranged for someone to pick up my sister, but I sent her back. I saw that my sister took a step first. These things let Lin Bo watch the fate." Just go back to the mansion, I'm afraid the ancestor will send someone to pick him up later."

Wang Xifeng heard it clearly in the sedan chair next to her, and immediately said: "What the master said is very true, my sister will see if there is anything important, if there is, let the master go to find a carriage and go with my sister first. Let the steward watch over the rest."

After hearing this, Daiyu thought for a while and agreed, and then heard Jia Lian whispering against the car curtain: "I have promised my ancestors to pick up my sister in person in three days, and it is best for her to clean up early when she goes back." After hearing this, Daiyu felt a warm current. Slipping through her mind, Daiyu understood that if she didn't go back with Jia Lian and his wife today, they would both be hanged by Mrs. Jia.

Even so, Daiyu hurriedly ordered people to sort out the belongings and cages on her boat, and hired seven or eight carriages to go to her mansion.

After Daiyu left, Jia Lian arranged for someone to send Wang Xifeng's mother and son back home first, and then watched the servants carry the rest of their own and Daiyu's belongings. He had to say that there were a lot of things, not to mention that Wang Xifeng was in Gusu and Yangzhou. Among the things I bought, I only said that Daiyu prepared a lot of earthen rituals and other things for everyone in the mansion, and there were several sets of furniture.

Old lady Jia was waiting for Daiyu's arrival in the mansion, and she didn't want anyone to report that Daiyu's family had gone, so she felt very unhappy, and then she heard that it was Lin Ruhai who arranged for Daiyu's family to handle common affairs, so she calmed down a little.

Thinking that Lin Ruhai might be going to Beijing soon, and that a lot of things from the mansion might be transported back, so it is reasonable for Daiyu to go back to clean up, but also thinking that Daiyu lost her mother when she was young, and now she has to take on the duties of the family , I can't help feeling distressed.

Looking at Miss Xue who was talking and laughing with Sanchun in her own room, she couldn't help snorting coldly in her heart: "It's a merchant's house after all! What can you understand?" Although the old lady Jia thought so in her heart, she was wiping tears on her face Said: "My poor granddaughter is only ten years old now, and she is being used like this by her cruel father!"

Everyone was comforting, and the old lady Jia said again: "I don't know what her little person can understand, and how can she take care of common affairs? Don't be deceived by the servants." After finishing speaking, the old lady Jia looked Looking at the second wife, she said, "You should arrange for two people to go over and help you! As an aunt, you can't watch your niece being bullied."

The second wife also knew that Lin Ruhai was a fat servant, and he was from a Liehou's family. Compared with his own family, he might not be any worse.Now the little girl who is only ten years old is taking care of it, and she already feels like intervening in her heart. At this time, when Mrs. Jia said it, she hurriedly agreed.

Before the second wife could arrange staff, Wang Xifeng brought her son to visit Jia Mu.Everyone saw Wang Xifeng wearing a pink and white gold hundred butterfly wearing a straight cardigan with a flower plate collar, covered with red silk silk and water cloud gauze, wearing a bun made of eight-treasure gold silk on her head, five phoenixes hanging on a pearl hairpin facing the sun, and a red gold plate hanging on her neck Chi Yingluo circle.

The skirt is tied with a white jade pendant with a dragon and a phoenix, and a pair of scarlet embroidered shoes inlaid with precious stones is sometimes revealed between the emerald and crepe skirt as she walks.It turned out to be more romantic than last year, and then look at Ping'er behind her holding a small person carved in pink and jade in his arms, looking around with a pair of big watery eyes at this time.

When the old lady Jia saw the little guy, she said with a smile: "This is Lian'er's boy? Hurry up and let me have a look." Wang Xifeng saluted Jia Mu and the second wife, then turned around and took her son to Jia Mu herself, smiling Said: "The old ancestor must reward me well! This little guy is really tossing around. If it weren't for Sister Lin, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back to see the old ancestor!"

 Daiyu finally arrives in the capital, and Gujing will start a new volume of review. Daiyu will enter the Red Mansion and start a different journey to the Red Mansion!Thank you again for your love and support!
