Love of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

After sending Baoyu away, Daiyu returned to her yard.Xueying took wicker sticks to clean her teeth, drank two mouthfuls of warm water, and she lay down on the bed in a daze.

Thinking of seeing Zhong Chu tomorrow, Daiyu couldn't sleep.Xueying was guarding outside, didn't hear anything, thought that Daiyu was asleep, and came in softly to cover her with a quilt, but she saw that Daiyu was thinking with her eyes open.

"The girl is thinking about what happened just now? If you want me to say that the girl doesn't need to take it to heart, the second master Bao is spoiled, and there is no man in the family to take him out. He spends all day in the pile of fat and powder, what good things can he say?" Come." Seeing that Daiyu didn't respond, she just turned her head to look at herself, Xueying said again: "Besides, the old matriarch and the wives and sisters in the mansion let him mess around, so it doesn't feel abrupt. He is pampered and protected, a child Mind, you haven't grown up yet."

Daiyu didn't say a word, she understood her temperament, but she didn't worry about Baoyu. Where did she remember his nonsense, it was over when it was over.

She couldn't tell Xueying that she was thinking of Zhong Chu and wished it would be dawn.

As soon as Baiyun's mother came in after finishing cooking, she heard Xueying's words, she smiled slightly and said, "The girl is thinking about the words of Second Master Bao, she is thinking about Uncle Zhong."

Daiyu turned her head to ignore Baiyun's mother's teasing, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Xueying was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

On the second day, Daiyu got up early, washed and dressed, and got into the carriage prepared by Jia's mansion, and let the servants from the Lin family drive the carriage to the pier.

After waiting anxiously at the pier for a quarter of an hour, the big ship transporting the exam finally docked, and the boat that Zhong Chu rented also stopped.

Daiyu received a letter and knew about Zhong Chu's boat, and wanted to go up to pick him up, but Baiyun's mother forbade him to stop him.Daiyu is petite and extraordinarily beautiful, how could she dare to join the crowd.

These days, there are too many human traffickers who specialize in abducting and selling beautiful little girls. Who knows if the people passing by are bad people.

Xueying pushed through the crowd with a few capable servants, and saw Zhong Chu and the others get off the boat.

"Uncle Zhong!"

Zhong Chu had seen Xueying and her party a long time ago. He blocked the crowd for Mother Zhong and walked towards Xueying.

"Where's my sister?" Zhong Chu looked left and right, but didn't find Daiyu, and looked at Xueying questioningly.

"The girl is waiting in the carriage. There are so many people in a mess. Mother Bai asked her to wait there." Xueying pointed to the carriage in the distance.

At this time, Daiyu was lifting the curtain of the car by a gap, when Zhong Chu looked over, thinking that Zhong Chu had seen her little movement, she was so frightened that she put down the curtain and looked at Baiyun's mother nervously.

Baiyun's mother looked at her child's heart, and didn't expose her, she closed her eyes and pretended not to see it.

"Sister." Not long after, Daiyu heard Zhong Chu's voice from outside the carriage, and just as she was about to lift the curtain, Zhong Chu lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.

Daiyu was overjoyed, she rushed forward and hugged Zhong Chu tightly.Zhong Chu caught her steadily, and Baiyun's mother coughed and went out.

I haven't seen her for half a year, but Daiyu has lost a lot of weight and grown taller, and Zhong Chu has also grown a lot taller.

Zhong Chu felt sorry for his sister, asked her about her diet and daily life all the way, and unilaterally decided that the people in Jia's house did not treat her well.

The carriage drove slowly, and stopped in front of a courtyard with three entrances about three quarters of an hour later.

Kyoto is prosperous, but there is no disturbance here.

"Come here in a hurry. I haven't decided on a place yet. I'm staying in Hongyuan's house for the time being. I bought a new house in two days, and I'm sending someone to invite you. My mother has been talking about you all the time. I will prepare for you this time." There are many good things that I don’t have.”

Said that he got out of the carriage first, and then helped Daiyu down.

"My sweetheart, Yu'er!" As soon as Daiyu stood firm, Mother Zhong came over to hold her little hand, extremely rare.

Daiyu's scalp became numb from her look, and she was at a loss and asked Zhong Chu for help.Zhong Chu looked at the sky, he didn't dare to question his mother's combat power and was straightforward, he just pretended not to know, and ordered his subordinates to carry the luggage.

Father Zhong also felt sorry for Daiyu, but Daiyu was not his own daughter, and men and women were different, so he could only stand by the side dryly.

It was rare for Tang Mou to follow silently. He only looked at Zhong's father and Zhong's mother for a while, then at Daiyu, and finally at Zhong Chu. He didn't know what he thought of, but a person who should be lively seemed lonely.

The housekeeper of the Tang family in Beijing arranged their luggage and accommodation properly, and they had lunch together. Mother Zhong was really tired and sleepy, so Daiyu hurriedly took her leave and prepared to go back to Jia's mansion.

Zhong Chu took out the jewelry and clothes that Zhongmu brought to Daiyu one by one for Baima and the others to put them away, and gave Daiyu the only books he had collected.When Daiyu saw the book, the smile on her face never stopped.

Jia's carriage couldn't hold so many things, so Zhong Chu wanted to take the Tang's carriage and send the things to Daiyu with Jia's carriage.

At this time, Daiyu said, "I'm going to live out anyway. Put these things at Brother Zhong's place. Brother Zhong will take care of them for me. I'll get them back someday."

Zhong Chuyi thought that this is indeed the truth, moving around is also troublesome, and it is always difficult to tell when the things are moved from Jia's mansion, so it is better to leave them here.Tomorrow he will go to see the house, not only for a few days.

Thinking that it would not be possible for Daiyu to live in Jia's mansion for two days together, at least it was impossible before Lin Ruhai came to Beijing. In the end, she picked out a box of books, a box of cloth, and a small box of jewelry.

Daiyu carried the jewelry box and sat in Jia's carriage, while Zhong Chu followed behind on the Tang's carriage.

When they arrived at Jia's Mansion, they stopped at the Xijiao Gate. Daiyu got out of the carriage, followed by Baiyun's mother Xueying and Chunxia and the others.Xueyan is young, except to learn the rules, she usually doesn't take her with her.

"Sister Lin is coming back from the house? What are these?" Jia Lian had just returned from drinking at Jia Zhen's when he encountered a servant from the Lin family carrying two boxes of things in, and asked suspiciously.

"Hello, Second Brother Lian." Daiyu saluted and replied, "These are the cloths given to me by Aunt Zhong's family, and the only books that Daddy and Brother Zhong found for me."

Jia Lian was not interested in books, and he didn't care about women's things like cloth. He only looked at the box Daiyu was holding.I said that I was drunk from eating and drinking, so I went back first.

Daiyu nodded, she wanted to introduce Zhong Chu to Jia Lian, but Jia Lian didn't even look at Zhong Chu, let alone ask, probably thought Zhong Chu was a servant of the Lin family.

After bidding farewell to Daiyu, Zhong Chu saw that it was still early, and after asking passers-by, he went to the government office that was in charge of the sale and lease of land and houses.

At this time, there were not many people in the government yamen, and the weather was hot and stuffy, and several yamen were drowsy.

As soon as Zhong Chu came, a younger witty yamen hurried forward to ask him why he came.Zhong Chu took a few pieces of broken silver from his pocket, and quietly stuffed them into someone's hand.Ya Nei smiled and narrowed his eyes, and when he heard that Zhong Chu wanted to buy a house, he was even more attentive.After asking Zhong Chu how many houses he wanted to buy, he introduced several houses to Zhong Chu. Zhong Chu saw that there were two houses opposite the door, on the same street as the Beijing Prince’s Mansion, and two houses away from Jia. Not far from the mansion, the last one is Sanjin's house next to Shijia.

After making an appointment to see the house after tomorrow’s time, Zhong Chu left the government office, went to the most famous Wenhua Building in the capital, ordered two small dishes and a pot of sake, and sat for a long time listening to the high-spirited talk of Kao Zimen who was going to Beijing for the exam After a while, he walked back slowly.

On the way, when he met Tang Mou who was looking for someone, Zhong Chu was slightly taken aback and shook his head helplessly.

Tang Mou seemed to be warm to everyone, but in fact he was hot on the outside and cold on the inside. He really came out to look for Zhong as a friend, because he was afraid that he would be confused when he first came to the capital.

"Brother Hongyuan."

Tang Mou frowned unhappily, hummed, turned his head and left.

Zhong Chu touched his nose helplessly, and stepped up to keep up.
