A close look at the Red House

On the ninth day of March, it is advisable to travel far.

The male and female servants from the Jia family came to pick them up in a boat, and Daiyu led the servants from the Lin family and the pets in her yard to make a boat alone.Due to the transportation going northward, it takes about a month to sail from Yangzhou to the capital. Food, water and all daily necessities have already been prepared on board.Xueyan and Xuejuan supported Daiyu to bid farewell to her father Lin Ruhai, while Mother Li, Mother Gui and the others moved Daiyu's luggage and belongings to the boat.It is also necessary to set aside manpower to appease the few Tibetan mastiffs, cats and other living creatures.

In such a feudal society where men were superior to women, Daiyu was very touched that Lin Ruhai could come and see her off.Daiyu knew that the reason why Lin Ruhai let Daiyu enter the capital was because of the large and powerful Jia family. Once she went west in the future, Daiyu would have a relative to go around and help.Not to be deceived by outsiders.It's just the feeling of being a father.But how did he know that after he left, it was the only relative of the Jia family who really plotted against his daughter.He calculated his Lin family's property, and calculated his Lin family's century-old reputation, but in the end he still didn't spare his daughter's life.The world's good fortune tricks people, how can it be calculated by manpower.

"My daughter knows that her father thinks deeply, but the only person she can rely on is her father. No matter how good her grandmother's place is, her daughter's surname is Lin, no matter what, she is just a guest of Jia's family. Although they are in contact with each other, how can they know that one day? Will you help me with all my money....Here in Kyoto, the father should not worry about his daughter. In recent years, the father has been in poor health and has complicated business affairs. Please take care of your health. Only when the father is well can the daughter be well. My daughter will cherish her body when she is with her grandmother, so please rest assured. My daughter will return at the end of the year. Please don’t forget to send someone to pick up your daughter.”After listening to her daughter's remarks, Lin Ruhai turned around and stared at the water for a long time without saying a word.After a while, "Yu'er has grown up and is sensible. If your mother knows, she will be able to smile." Lin Ruhai stroked Lin Daiyu's head in comfort, "Your words are in my heart for my father, so don't worry."The parting was imminent, no matter how reluctant Lin Ruhai and Daiyu were, they had no choice but to let go.

On the shore, after waving goodbye to his father with tears in his hands, he boarded the boat and headed north.

...............................

When Daiyu bid farewell to Lin Ruhai, she couldn't help crying, and when she returned to the room on the boat, Xueyan and the maidservants wiped their tears, twisted the handkerchief, and served tea and water for a while.And the words of comfort followed one after another.Daiyu was so sad that shed a few tears to finish the job, but after being persuaded by the two girls, she couldn't cry herself. The scene of Lin Ruhai not waving off on the shore reminded her of her parents and family in modern times. It's been a year, although every time I think about it, I tell myself that I can go back in a short time.Parents won't find themselves missing this hour either.For myself, it's a long-term business trip.I went to a relatively remote place where there is no way to communicate.When I go back, I will be more filial to my father.But today, in the farewell scene, they all ran out together sad and wronged.In her heart, she regretted that she shouldn't have allowed the two gods to come here, but rationally, she also knew that no matter whether she agreed or not, she didn't have the ability to compare with the gods, so she could only agree.Try to get the best interest for yourself when you agree to help out.

After thinking about it like this, I cried for a while.I also feel better.Daiyu washed again under the service of a few big girls, and then lay down on the couch to rest; the swaying of the boat made people feel sleepy, and the fact that she got up too early in the morning made her feel a little tired.After Daiyu asked several people to rest separately, they soon fell asleep.

After the boat sailed for a few days, Lin Daiyu gradually adapted to life on board.As a native Northeast female man.Almost never took a boat for more than two hours.From the excitement at the beginning to the annoyance later.It took only six or seven days for the final numbness.Thank the office workers under the pressure of modern society.Mom no longer has to worry about me being impatient.In the days that followed, as long as she had free time, Daiyu would send away the maids around her on the grounds of resting alone, and hide in bed alone, reading novels and playing computer games.

After dinner that day, Daiyu only left Mammy Li and Mammy Zhao to talk, and sent the rest of them out.

After Li Momo and Zhao Momo looked at each other, Li Momo said to Daiyu: "Miss, what do you want to tell the old slaves to do?"

Because there is one thing that has been in Daiyu's heart since she saw the Red Mansion.Because she didn't know much about some ancient systems, Daiyu didn't know whether it was right or wrong.Because Daiyu couldn't think of a reason for it for a while, so after dinner today, two nuns from the palace were left to discuss together.

"I'm going to be a guest at my grandmother's house outside the capital. I think the two nuns are aware of some things in the Rongguo Mansion," Daiyu said.

"What is the girl referring to?" At this moment, Mother Zhao also asked.

"Grandmother is old, and now in the Rongguo Mansion, the second aunt of the second uncle's family is the housekeeper. Before my mother came out of the cabinet, she was at odds with this second aunt, and she was dirty from time to time. I heard from my mother that the second aunt is very human... .. Now that I am visiting as a guest, my second aunt will definitely give me a big blow."

"Does that girl know what tricks this second uncle and wife will use?" The expressions of the two nuns changed, and they all became serious.

"What kind of tricks can be used, most likely it is the door I used when I entered the mansion. Which door I go, what can I say as a ten-year-old girl?"

"Our master is the second rank of the imperial court. The girl is not only the eldest daughter of the master, but also the granddaughter of the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion, and the niece of the two Mrs. Jia. She is not only a serious relative, but also a guest. Miss Li should enter the mansion through the side door." Nanny Li analyzed.

"But according to the character of my second aunt, it is very likely that I will go through the West Corner Gate."Daiyu snorted coldly.The original book said that when Daiyu entered the mansion, she walked through the Xijiao gate, but the Xue family got off outside the gate.

Zhao Momo stood up suddenly and said, "The West Corner Gate is worthy of leaving only for slaves and servants."

Nanny Li also stood up and said, "If the Jia family really only opened the west corner door to let girls in, then this Jia's house, girls are absolutely not allowed to enter. This is a slap in the face for our entire Lin family, let alone The face of the grand master of the second grade Dayuan."

Daiyu nodded her head in agreement and said, "That's what I mean too. At that time, the two mothers will have to play it by ear. It's not like my Lin family doesn't have a house in the capital. It's a big deal, let's go directly to our own home."
