Love of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

After Lin Ruhai saw Baoyu off and returned home, Mrs. Zhao changed his clothes and said, "I'll get my wife's dowry list in two days, and I'll hand over to Yu'er after finishing the account books of Zhuangzi's shop."

Lin Ruhai paused when he raised his hand, and then said very naturally: "You can decide on this matter."

Mrs. Zhao smiled, and said again: "I want to put the two shops on the side of our east gate and the three Zhuangzi in the western suburbs to Yu'er." Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't show any displeasure, "There are also Zhuangzi and Liangtian, our shop in Gusu. I have picked out a dozen of places, together with those in the capital, and paid 28 taels of silver from the public. Our Yu'er is a noble daughter, and the dowry should not be too shabby. .”

Lin Ruhai was surprised to hear that, in the early years, he was the housekeeper of his deceased wife, but he still knew how many shops and Zhuangzi there were in the family.Butler Daiyu behind him, he also stared at him.

The several Zhuangzi shops mentioned by Mrs. Zhao are all places with excellent harvests.

"It's up to you." He squeezed the flesh of Zhao Shi's hand, playing with Zhao Shi's slender and fair fingers.

Mrs. Zhao let him mess around, called a maid to come in and put on a coat for him, and then said slowly: "I think the dowry boxes and cages don't need too much. After the betrothal gift sent by the Zhong family is registered and compiled, we are adding eight. Others I will make the bottom of the box for Yu'er."

Lin Ruhai was surprised when he heard this, he wanted to marry his daughter and wanted to spread out the dowry for everyone to see clearly envious and jealous, why did he hide it when it came to the Zhao family?

"Don't expose your wealth, and you have been a salt censor, too many are easy to be jealous. Mrs. Guang's dowry is only 72 lifts, and Mrs. Zhong at Zhong's house talked to me, and it's 88 lifts. I can't surpass the princess's dowry." share."

Lin Ruhai quietly looked at Zhao Shi in a daze for a moment, then held her hand and said gently: "My husband is hungry, can you prepare a meal?" While speaking, he took Zhao Shi's hand and covered his lower body. go.

Mrs. Zhao blushed from his sudden indecency, glanced at no one was looking at them, and gently pinched his dishonesty.

Lin Ruhai pretended to be in pain and let go, so Mrs. Zhao called someone to prepare a meal.

The Lin family got along well with each other, while Baoyu returned home in a daze. Before he entered the house, Lai Da saw him with disheveled hair and a look of being robbed and beaten, crying and howling.

Xiren heard the news and went to find someone, but Baoyu had been taken to the Bisha cabinet by the parrot beside the old lady.

Baoyu didn't say what happened, but let the maidservant cleanse him and descale him. Now he changed his underwear and lay on the bed without saying a word, but the tears in his eyes never stopped.

"Second Master Bao still doesn't talk?" Yuanyang has a gentle personality. Seeing Baoyu lost his soul and not staying in the house, he only shed tears and didn't speak, and he was anxious to get angry. The old lady over there is still anxiously waiting for the news.

"What's wrong with my darling, please let me see?!" The old matriarch couldn't wait for the news from the maid, and hurriedly brought Amber, Jade and other maids over. Seeing Baoyu crying, her eyes turned red for a while. The sweetheart cried out in pain.Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and said nothing, and Shu Qi beside Yingchun secretly stood in the corner to weaken her sense of existence.

The second room has always looked down on their eldest family members. Over the years, the girl has learned from Miss Lin to get along with Mrs. Lin and got closer with the eldest wife. Life is much better than before.

Now the girl is talking at the eldest wife's place, so I asked her to come and see what Second Master Bao is doing?

Her girl said that it is not good for her to always run to her brother's house when she is old, so she will hide.

On the other hand, Miss Shi Baba sat on the bedside and called "Love Brother", "Love Brother", how could she look like an unmarried daughter of everyone!

Shuqi felt disdainful but didn't dare to show it, she just lowered her head and looked at it.

"The Lin family sent your second master back today? Let him talk back." As soon as the old matriarch opened his mouth, someone brought in the servant of the Lin family who had been outside the door for a long time.

"You are the one who sent my dear grandson back today?" The old lady narrowed her eyes, and Lin Ding, the servant of the Lin family, who had sharp eyes, was taken aback. After a while, she replied respectfully: "It's the little one who gave you the treasure. Grandpa came back, as for what happened, the little one knows too, just..."

He looked up at a large group of masters and maidservants around him, but didn't continue talking.

The old matriarch turned away all the servants with a cold face, leaving only Yuanyang and Mrs. Wang behind.

"Let's talk." The old lady put her power on Lin Ding, and Lin Ding clenched his fists before saying: "Today, Second Master Bao went to the Lin Manor to look for our girl, and was moved when he was told that our girl had already promised her." It hurts God. Later, if he didn’t believe it, he asked our master for verification, and it was only when he learned that this happened!”

Lin Ding revealed the matter in a few words, the old matriarch's expression turned ugly, and Mrs. Wang dropped the tea bowl in her hand.The tea bowl shattered at Lin Ding's feet, and the tea splashed wet his trouser legs.

Yuanyang caressed the old lady's back to comfort her, turned her head to look at Baoyu who was crying even more fiercely, and sighed softly.

Master Bao is good, Miss Lin is even better.

In the hearts of the sisters, Second Master Bao is the moon in the sky, and his friends also regard him as a person with a beautiful appearance, but in reality, Second Master Bao is no more than a fifth-rank official, and the Jia family will be inherited by Second Master Lian. The second master has no fame.

If Miss Lin was the only one left in the Lin family, there would be a chance... Yuanyang turned her head and continued to concentrate on caressing the old matriarch's back. If Miss Lin was an orphan, why would the second wife want her precious lump to marry her?

"Go down, don't reveal a word about today's affairs."

Lin Ding got the old lady's pardon, and left the Rongxitang and went straight to Lin's house.

But the old lady looked at Baoyu and couldn't help but sigh.She said why she had made it clear to Lin Ruhai at the time, but the other party disagreed. It turned out that she had been waiting here for a long time.

"My darling, don't cry, crying grandma's darling hurts!" The old matriarch patted Baoyu's shoulder, and Baoyu looked at Ai Ai for a long time, and finally said, "Grandma, you love me so much, please help me to ask Lin Lin Uncle, don't marry Sister Lin to someone else, can it be possible to let Sister Lin marry me?!" Saying this, he became sad again.

"Nonsense, is she so easy to let you ignore it?" Mrs. Wang stood up angrily, her eyes darkened and she almost fainted, she weighed the handle of the chair so hard that she didn't fall to the ground.

Baoyu twitched his shoulders, crying, "Sister Lin is so kind, I only regret that I didn't let my grandmother propose marriage earlier..."

"Okay, Baoyu is just a child, what does he know!" The old lady interrupted what Mrs. Wang wanted to say, raised her head and said to Yuanyang: "Go and ask the Lin family's stepmother if it's true, don't worry about it." If you become a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, and all the crooked melons, cracked dates, and smelly ones will be randomly given to Yu'er."

The Lin family never leaked any news about Daiyu's marriage, but the old matriarch didn't see any signs of it, so she was engaged as she said.

Maybe it's because her uncle is unwilling to marry his daughter to their family when he grows up, and she doesn't want to think that he was still a sesame tofu official back then, so she married him the precious pearl on the tip of her heart. In their family, this kind of marriage is not rare in their Jia family!

This Lin Ding returned to the Lin family, and had just reported to Lin Ruhai and Mrs. Zhao about the Jia family's affairs in detail, when someone came to report the arrival of Yuanyang, the eldest maid of the old lady of Jia's house.

Lin Ruhai thought that he needed to talk about this matter in person, so as not to let others think about it, so he asked Lin Ding to take the mandarin ducks to the transparent flower hall, and followed him.

"Grandpa Lin is well." Yuanyang bowed her knees and saluted Lin Ruhai before explaining her intentions with a smile, "My old lady heard that Miss Lin has made a promise to someone else, so let me ask which family she made a promise to, so that she can give to Lin Ruhai." Girl check it out!"

Lin Ruhai knew what he wanted to ask, Baoyu went back so earth-shatteringly, Jia's house was still turned upside down.

"It's my apprentice Zhong Chu. I settled down with the Zhong family when Yu'er was still living at the old lady's house."

Zhong Chu's swarthy face flashed in Yuanyang's mind, and Daiyu's flowery and jade-like face flashed in her mind.

She smiled again and said: "Congratulations to Uncle Lin first, I have met Uncle Zhong, he is really a majestic figure."

Then he said: "I've been out for a while, it's time for the old lady to look for it, so I'll go back first."

Lin Ruhai asked someone to send her back, while he went to see his daughter tease his son.

Yuanyang went back to tell Lin Ruhai what she said, the old lady sighed and fell silent, Mrs. Wang looked indifferent and didn't know what she was thinking.

But Baoyu reacted, got up and went back to his own Jiangyun Pavilion in the Grand View Garden, regardless of the maidservant's mother-in-law. Shi Xiangyun followed behind him.

"What does Brother Ai look like? It's always you sticking to her. It's fine if she doesn't appreciate it. Now that he has agreed to someone else, why does Brother Ai still think about her?"

Baoyu took a rare look at her, and opened his mouth sleepily, but didn't know what to say.

"Brother love, why don't you marry me?" Shi Xiangyun's nature is cheerful and bright, but this meeting is full of sadness.

Baoyu Aiai watched her silent, Shi Xiangyun smiled sadly, covered his face and walked away.
