Love of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

The day before yesterday, I heard that my father had taken in an apprentice named Zhong Chu, and today I officially came to meet him.Although Daiyu was careful and thoughtful, she asked Mother Wang to dress her up early in the morning, so that she would not let herself be unkempt when meeting guests.Xueyan followed her since she was a child, and she was younger than her. She did whatever Daiyu asked her to do, but she was small and short-handed, so she couldn't help much.

Daiyu first took someone to Jia Min's place to ask Ann, and then accompanied Jia Min to have a conversation. Seeing that she was tired, she left and went to the study to write.Yishui's Zanhua Xiaokai, young and not very strong, but has already seen the strength of character.

Jia Yucun asked for leave today and didn't come. Daiyu finished the homework assigned by Jia Yucun and read some poems. The sun was getting brighter, and the apprentice her father had accepted hadn't come yet.She went to Jia Min's place again and told Jia Min some interesting things she saw in the book.

At the other end, Zhong Chu held an old hen holding the inkstone that Father Zhong had chosen out of thousands of choices, and bumped into Lin Ruhai who had just returned from the government office.As soon as the two met each other, Zhong Chu moved his toes awkwardly, and went up to say hello respectfully.

"Master!" Zhong Chu really didn't know what to say, he was a person who put his interests first, but he also had a soft side to his relatives.Lin Ruhai is now his master in name, he doesn't know how to face him for the time being, so he can only let nature take its course.

Lin Ruhai looked at Zhong Chu awkwardly hugging the old hen with an inexplicable trance, and the servant behind him took the things in Zhong Chu's hand with good eyesight.

"I am very satisfied with this apprenticeship ceremony." Inkstones are not cheap to Zhong Chu's family. This kind of heart is touching. Although he has some intentions to take advantage of it, Lin Ruhai really wants to accept Zhong Chu as his apprentice. Still very satisfied with his intentions.

"We'll have dinner at home later, and I'll take you to meet your teacher's wife and sister Lin." Lin Ruhai looked at Zhong Chu obediently following the training, with a gentle expression on his face.Thinking of his wife and daughter at home, he couldn't help taking even bigger steps.

When he got home, Lin Ruhai was already sweating heavily, and the butler Lin struggled to bathe and change him.Zhong Chu was left alone in the hall drinking tea in a daze, Zhong Chu was not annoyed, all the servants of the Lin family were smart and did not neglect him.

"Uncle Zhong, the master told you to go to the dining room to eat." The little maid in a light yellow dress was standing outside the door, her voice was not too loud, just enough that Zhong Chu could hear it.

Following the little maid to the dining room, Lin Ruhai was already sitting in the main seat. The little girl on the left was astonished the day before yesterday when he saw it from a distance. After one glance, they are no longer looking at each other.Sitting on Lin Ruhai's right hand was a frail woman, her face was pale and her lips were bloodless, but she exuded a kind of morbid beauty, she must be Jia Min.

"Student Zhong Chu has seen the master, his wife Kang Shun, and his younger sister are well." After Lin Ruhai signaled, Zhong Chu sat next to Daiyu, and the little girl looked at him curiously.No matter how precocious and clear he is, he is only a four or five-year-old child, and he is still curious and interested in outsiders.Zhong Chu gave Daiyu a friendly smile, and the little girl nodded and smiled back.

"I've seen Brother Zhong." Daiyu stood up and started to edit.This senior brother looks amiable and good-looking when he smiles. He is not a difficult person to get along with.

"This is a gift my mother prepared for my teacher's wife, and asked me to bring it to my teacher's wife. My mother heard that sister Lin is studying with Mr. Jia, so she asked me to bring my sister Lin a magazine of human geography. This is what I gave to my teacher. The portrait I drew myself." Zhong Chu finished speaking in one breath, and took out the things one by one.

With a gentle expression on his face, Jia Min accepted the gift from the maid. "This bracelet is really beautiful. I like it very much. Mrs. Zhong has a heart."

"Thank you, Brother Zhong. My brother, on behalf of Yuer, thanked Aunt Zhong." Daiyu's eyes were shining, and due to her upbringing, she nodded reservedly.

Zhong Chu sighed inwardly, Sister Lin's current appearance was not like what was written in the book, shedding tears at every turn, cautious and thoughtful.

"Ah Chu is interested, let's have dinner."

The Lin family pays attention to eating without talking, and the few people ate the dishes of the servant girl quietly.The little maid served Daiyu a bowl of soup first, and after seeing that Daiyu was almost done drinking, she picked up some vegetarian dishes for her.Zhong Chu liked oily and salty dishes since he was a child, and he ate a lot in one meal. He didn't like the light diet of the Lin family. He also thought that Jia Min was sick and Daiyu was weak, and his diet was mostly based on diet therapy. I feel relieved.

When Zhong Chu added the third bowl of rice, the three members of the Lin family were invited to check their eyes.Lin Ruhai didn't expect that Zhong Churen was tall and strong, and his appetite was amazing, so he hurriedly asked his servants to add two more dishes.

Zhong Chu didn't shirk, he didn't want to pretend to eat less in front of the Lin family.From now on, it will be very tiring to pretend to look up and not to see each other every day.

Jia Min, who had no appetite, was infected by Zhong Chu's appetite, so he ate an extra bowl of soup.Daiyu, who has a small appetite, also took a few more mouthfuls of vegetables.

Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with this family banquet, and took Zhong Chu to the study after the meal to ask him some knowledge.

Zhong Churen is diligent, hardworking and capable, with solid basic skills, but a little lacking in poetry and policy theory. Lin Ruhai straightened his beard with a smile after taking the exam for an hour.

"Poetry pays attention to rhyme, but also has the beauty of rhythm and rhythm..."

Zhong Chu listened patiently to Lin Ruhai's lectures, one spoke seriously and the other listened attentively, asking questions from time to time, and making inferences.After being reminded by Lin Butler, Zhong Chucai swam out of the ocean of poetry with unsatisfied enthusiasm.When Zhong Chu took part in the probation test, he borrowed [-] modern Tang poems to confuse the poem composition question. After listening to Lin Ruhai’s lecture today, he was a little enlightened, but he also knew how much he weighed, so he didn’t Dare to be arrogant and complacent, so ambitious.

"You go home, come back in two days, go back and try to make two Wulu songs, I will check after two days." Lin Feng, take two meat buns for Ah Chu, and eat them on the way. "Lin Ruhai didn't stay Zhong Chu for dinner. Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhong Chu could only go back in the dark if he didn't go back. That's not safe.

"Zhong Chu looks like a nice person, and he will have a good sex in the future. One day we will all go, and I will rest assured that he will protect Yu'er." Lin Ruhai played with Jia Min's slender hands, and told his beloved wife about his idea of ​​accepting apprentices .Ever since the youngest son died, the wife has been depressed, and the two of them are not young, only Daiyu has a daughter, not to mention the servants of the Lin family, but others will talk about the wife when she goes to those banquets, and every time the wife comes back, she is even more sad. He was in a hurry, but his wife couldn't pass his own test.In recent years, no one in Jia's mansion has visited his wife, and no one has come to visit his wife when she is sick. Lin Ruhai is heartbroken, but Daiyu is in Jia's mansion, and she can't stop her contacts after weighing the pros and cons.

"I know you're doing this for Yu'er. The thing I can't let go of is Yu'er. I'm afraid I won't last long..."

"Minmin!" Before Jia Min finished speaking, Lin Ruhai interrupted her, hugging his beloved wife tightly, afraid that she would disappear suddenly.

Jia Min knew that he was suffering from heart disease and physical weakness, so he smiled bleakly, both resigned and reconciled.

"Xueyan, what kind of person do you think Brother Zhong is?"

"Uncle Zhong looks approachable, respects his elders, and cares about Miss." Xueyan tucked the quilt into Daiyu, "Miss, go to sleep."

Let's say that Zhong Chu went home, told his parents what happened today, and read a book by the oil lamp for a while before going to sleep.

The author has something to say:

There may be some contradictions in time, I am a bit confused after writing two chapters, if I can scan the empty building in my mind and love the world, it will be great haha
