Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 99 The Old Bridge and the New Story (2)

Daiyu originally thought so and so, and Baoyu would not entangle any more. Who knows that Baoyu did not give up and asked that line that was more classic than having jade: "Then do you have a sign?" Daiyu thought. Sigh secretly: Can't you hide it anyway?But he still replied: "No words."

Baoyu suddenly came alive and said, "I'll give my sister a wonderful word, Mo Ruo..." Before she could finish speaking, Nanny Yang became angry!He sternly said: "Master Biao, what is the meaning of this? My girl hasn't opened the hairpin yet, even when the hairpin was opened, the master or his master gave the words! Are you cursing my master?!"

As soon as Nanny Yang said this, she showed the aura she had in the Empress Dowager's Palace back then. Even Jia's mother was shocked, let alone Baoyu!Jia's mother hurriedly said, "How does his family know these things?" As soon as she finished speaking, Daiyu looked at her in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears.For a while, I was a little speechless.

Mother Jia couldn't go on, but Daiyu had something to say, and everyone only heard Daiyu mournfully say: "My mother left early, but now only my old father is left. I don't want someone to curse like this in front of me!" After speaking, Daiyu stood up gently and bowed to Jiamu, "Grandmother forgive me, it's time for granddaughter to go back."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to go out the door. Mother Jia was also taken aback. She didn't expect Daiyu to have such a temper at such a young age.Then he was a little annoyed and said, "Even if your brother did something wrong, it was an unintentional mistake! Why are you so stubborn? Is this what your parents taught you?"

Seeing that Jiamu was angry, everyone bowed their heads and held their breath, not daring to speak, but Wang Xifeng stepped forward and said: "Why did the ancestor bother with my sister? My sister is young after all." Who would have thought that Daiyu would not appreciate it, and stared wide. A pair of tearful eyes said: "Sister-in-law! Even though I am young, don't I know how to protect my father?"

After speaking, he looked at Jia Mu and said, "When my mother was alive, the first thing my mother taught me was the word filial piety! Now someone is cursing my father in front of me. Does my grandmother want me to ignore it? Or was my grandmother like that back then? Taught my mother?!"

These words have gone too far, Mother Yang hastily coughed a few times, and grabbed Daiyu, but Jia Mu still had a livid face, pointing at Daiyu with trembling fingers, and said: "Speaking to your grandmother like this, it is your mother." Can't teach you filial piety!? But I don't remember teaching your mother like this back then!"

Daiyu also knew that she had said it, so she had to squat deeply to Jiamu with tears and said, "Grandmother, forgive me, Yu'er only has a father now, and I can't tolerate anyone who hurts my father even a little bit. I hope grandma will forgive you." The low and soft voice was completely different from the clang just now, and the tears kept rolling down his face.

Seeing this, Baoyu was very distressed, and quickly bowed and said, "It's my fault. The ancestors are to blame, but I am!" Then he bowed to Daiyu and said, "I didn't think that. Forgive me!"

Mother Yang didn't expect that Baoyu would make an apology in front of everyone, so she couldn't help but calm down, and saluted Jia Mu, "I just overstepped, and I'm here to apologize to the old lady. The girl and the old man are deeply affectionate, please also ask the old lady Your Majesty forgive me!"

When Nanny Yang interrupted her, and everyone tried to persuade her again, Jia Mufang calmed down, then turned her head and saw the green ghost that Daiyu specially begged from her master, her heart softened, and she said, "Is it your brother's?" Negligence, now that he has apologized, you can forgive him."

Daiyu also knew that she couldn't fall out with Jia's mother, after all, she was going to live in Jia's mansion, so she also nodded, but didn't speak.

Seeing Daiyu nod her head, Baoyu became happy again, and hurried to hold her hand, but she avoided him, and couldn't help but look at Daiyu blankly, only to see her glaring!Baoyu didn't know what was wrong with her, but Jia Mu saw it clearly, so she asked Daiyu to sit down beside her.Baoyu stood for a while and squeezed to Jiamu's side.

Everyone chatted and laughed several times to ease the atmosphere, but Daiyu remained silent, making Jiamu sigh inwardly.

Once Daiyu saw Jiamu's tired face, and knew that it was time to leave, she got up and whispered to Jiamu: "Today, Yu'er made grandmother unhappy, so Yu'er will leave first, and come back next time." Make amends to my grandmother."

Jia's mother also knew that Daiyu was going to leave today, and seeing that the atmosphere was really bad, she didn't stay any longer, but said, "I'll let your sister-in-law Lian pick you up in two days. Don't be too angry to come." Yes. A girl's family is not allowed to live outside alone."

Daiyu nodded hurriedly when she heard this, but Baoyu came again!I saw him hurriedly said: "Why is sister Lin going away? Didn't she say that she is coming home?" Daiyu just opened her mouth to explain a few words, but Baoyu said again: "Could it be that you are still angry with me? Should I pay you back? Can't you do it?" After speaking, she stood up and bowed to Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't dare to accept it, she hurriedly hid to the side, but she was a step too late.Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Where is it your fault? You are such an idiot! Sister Lin just has some things at home that haven't been dealt with properly, so she took her home when she turned around." As soon as she finished speaking, the servants outside laughed and said: "Second Master Lian is here!"

Baoyu got up in a hurry, wondering what Jia Lian was doing at this time.Usually it was not this time of day, but Mother Jia knew that she was going to pick up Daiyu and send her back.

No matter how reluctant Baoyu was, Daiyu would also leave, and Mother Jia ordered, "Go and say goodbye to your aunts." As soon as Daiyu nodded, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said, "It is also convenient for me to take her there. "Just after finishing speaking, Jia Lian came in.

Jia Lian saluted and greeted Jia's mother without looking sideways. Daiyu was surprised to see it. Why didn't Xue Baochai and Xing Xiuyan avoid it?But she didn't say that, she only raised her eyes to look at Wang Xifeng quietly, seeing that there was no abnormal expression on her face, she knew that she was either used to it, or she just didn't care?
Jia Lian heard that Daiyu was going to bid farewell to the two wives of King Xing, so he nodded and said, "I'll wait for you at the front, and let your sister-in-law take you out later." Then he turned and walked out.It seems that I don't want to stay here any longer.

Xing Xiuyan and Yingchun originally lived in Mrs. Xing's courtyard, and when they saw that Wang Xifeng was going to bring Daiyu there, they followed her.All the people were sent to the front of the hall and out of the hanging flower gate.Long'er Qing'er got the letter early, pulled two emerald green cars and waited outside the door.

Wang Xifeng sat in front with Daiyu and Yingchun Xing Xiuyan, while Yang Nai, Jin'er and others sat in the back.All the women put down the curtain of the carriage, and Fang ordered the boys to lift it up and pull it to a wide place before driving on the tame mule.

Turning out of the west corner gate, going east through the main gate of Rongfu, and then entering a black oil gate, Daiyu thought, indeed, it seems that the situation of Jia She's first room has not improved because of Jia Lian's success.Walk all the way to the front of Yimen and come down.Long'er and Qing'er screened the servants away, and they themselves guarded from a distance, letting a woman come to open the curtain of the car.

Wang Xifeng held Daiyu's hand, followed by Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan, and got out of the car.Nanny Yang and Jin'er Zhi'er had also come down, they hurried forward to protect Daiyu, Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing and said: "Mammy is still afraid that I will kill my sister?" After speaking, she led everyone into the courtyard.

Entering the Yimen Gate on the third floor, Dai Yuguo saw that the main rooms and verandahs here are all small and unique, unlike the spacious and gorgeous one just now, where trees, mountains, rocks and stars can be seen everywhere in the courtyard.The trees are all ancient, and the rocks are even more rare.

After entering the main room, Mrs. Xing had already waited for a long time with the little one.When the little guy saw Daiyu, his eyes lit up.Daiyu just saluted Madam Xing, Madam Xing threw herself on Daiyu before helping the little guy, giggling.

For a moment, everyone was shocked and amused.After the maids finished serving tea, Daiyu looked at Jin'er, who quickly took out two books from her sleeve and handed them to Daiyu.Daiyu took it and looked at it and handed it to Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan.

The two were puzzled at first, but they were pleasantly surprised when they took the set. The one given to Yingchun was an ancient chess record. I don’t know where Daiyu found it. Now it is very rare, and what is even more rare is that the game record is well preserved without any damage. place.What Xing Xiuyan got was a book of scriptures, so he was naturally pleasantly surprised.I hurriedly thanked Daiyu.

Then Daiyu took two small clay pots from Zhi'er, and handed them a bundle to Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing didn't expect to have her own, so she opened it hastily.Suddenly, a strong fragrance of flowers overflowed.Mrs. Xing asked in surprise: "What is this? It smells so good, it smells like rose paste."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Isn't it just rose cream? Rose tea can beautify the skin and have the effect of whitening and purifying the skin, but it is a bit sour when eaten alone. I made it with Yuhang chrysanthemum, astragalus, etc. Afterwards, mix honey and drink it with water every day, it is very good for the body and good for the skin.”

After hearing Daiyu's words, Mrs. Xing smelled it again and again, and she was so happy that she hurriedly asked her to put it away.Looking at the burden again, I saw that there were two sets of shirts of the same color inside, with a big crimson body and black borders.

A man's Confucian shirt, embroidered with Wanfu group flowers and auspicious clouds and dark patterns, is both luxurious and not extravagant.A high-necked, straight-fitting gown, the same design and color as the Confucian shirt, only gold thread is used to make it look richer.Wealthy peonies are embroidered on the black at the collar and sleeves, and the blossoms are vivid.

Mrs. Xing looked overjoyed, and quickly smiled at Daiyu: "I'm sorry to bother you, and I don't miss this and that every year! This needlework is getting better and better, look at how beautiful these flowers are. !" Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan also got together early to have a look, and they all agreed.

But Daiyu laughed and said: "It's nothing, it's just a little bit of filial piety from Yu'er. As long as you like it. Brother and sister-in-law also have this shirt. Even Yingchun and Cong each have a horse of the same color. Turn around Make it into a shirt and look like a family!"

Mrs. Xing also laughed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it at my age!" Daiyu hurriedly said, "Auntie looks young, so why can't she wear it? It would look so good with that hair crystal bracelet." How pretty!"

After finishing speaking, Daiyu teased the little guy and asked: "I don't know if the uncle has named the little guy? You can't always call it like a little guy, can you?"

Mrs. Xing became angry when she heard this, and said with a sullen face: "Don't mention your uncle! Last night, it was said that we were going to name our grandson, so we rushed to the study room overnight. We didn't pick a name, but the book was turned over. All over the place!" She couldn't help laughing when she said this.

Daiyu was also taken aback when she heard this, and then asked, "Can't I let my brother name it?" As soon as the words came out, Daiyu knew that she had made a mistake, and as expected, Mrs. Xing pursed her lips and said, "The master said, this It's his first eldest grandson, even if it's hard work, I have to give him a good name myself. And say this name, it's a matter of life!"

Daiyu couldn't help laughing at these words.Mrs. Xing called Wang Baoshan's house and said: "Go to the back room and take out the sandalwood box from the cabinet for me." As he said that, he took the key from his waist and handed it over. Everyone didn't know what Mrs. Xing meant. I looked over curiously.

All of a sudden, Wang Baoshan's family brought a green sandalwood box one and a half feet long, and the box was still exuding a faint fragrance.Flowers are engraved on both ends of the box, and the body of the box is wrapped around branches, which is very exquisite.Mrs. Xing took the box carefully and handed it to Daiyu.

Seeing this, Daiyu knew it was extremely valuable, so she got up quickly and wanted to postpone it, but Madam Xing said, "I don't know if it's worth it or not. It's just a painting inside. I don't think it's worth as much as this box." After speaking, she went up and down again. After looking at this box, I like it all the time.

Then Mrs. Xing looked up at Daiyu and said: "Master specially handed it over to me this morning, saying that you like it, and Tete found it out last night. He can't see you at home today, so I must hand it over to you." , Said that uncle gave it to you!"

After hearing this, Daiyu took it with both hands, saluted Mrs. Xing and said, "So Yu'er will not delay, thank you uncle and aunt!" After speaking, Fang sat down with the box in her hands.My heart is full of warmth.
