Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber

The heart is in a mess.

Zijuan opened a little curtain and looked out, then put it away, and whispered: "The family values ​​girls so much?" , not to mention bringing a whole family to greet him, it would be nice if he could be perfunctory.

"The master and the girl are kind-hearted. They are kind to the servants and the common people. Every new year, the girl will prepare some gifts for the wives and daughters of the servants in the house. In Suzhou, there are three philanthropic halls donated by the Lin family." Xueyan swiped three fingers and said: "Not to mention that in times of calamity, the Lin family opens a porridge shed and builds a residence... Oh, anyway, the master and the girl are good!"

While talking, the carriages and horses had stopped outside the gate of the inner courtyard. Daiyu couldn't wait to get out of the carriage. Get off the carriage.

"Welcome the eldest girl back home!" The two aunts stood neatly at the gate of the inner courtyard and bowed their knees to Daiyu, tears also fell.Daiyu stepped forward slowly, returned the salute with her jaw, then raised her foot and ran inside.

After passing through the Moon Gate, and winding around the winding corridors, the end is a cobbled path with bamboo forests on both sides.Why is the road so long today!Holding on to the railing on the side of the road, she stopped to catch her breath, knowing that her father was pretending to be injured, but when she got out of the car and did not see him, Daiyu still worried, and ran straight to Lin Ruhai's yard.

Ru Hai's confidantes are all in the inner courtyard of the Lin family, so they naturally know the situation.Seeing the eldest girl running in anxiously, he stopped the three maids outside the courtyard, and then suddenly saw that one of them was Xueyan, the eldest maid of the mansion, and hurriedly apologized repeatedly.Xueyan knew the details, so she just said it was okay, and waited in the yard with Zijuan and Chunxian.

Opening the curtain, a strong smell of medicine came over her nostrils, and Daiyu stopped suddenly.She was afraid, she was really afraid that everyone was comforting her, concealing the real situation, afraid that what she saw would be her seriously injured father!

"Yu'er! But Yu'er is back!" Lin Ruhai's voice came from the inner room.

This sound made Daiyu burst into tears, crying, "Daddy!" and ran straight into the bedroom.Lin Ruhai was wearing a snow-white tunic and a brown homely robe outside, standing up from the bed.

"Daddy!" Daiyu burst into tears and rushed forward and knelt down in front of Lin Ruhai, hugging her father and not letting go, she was so choked up that she almost couldn't speak: "Daddy... Yu'er misses you so much..."

"Good girl!" It was the first time in Lin Ruhai's life that she was afraid in the past six months.He is not afraid of those gossips, let alone the villains who want his life.When he lost contact with his daughter, he was afraid. Daiyu was his heart and soul. During those days, it was really painful like being robbed of his heart and liver. He regretted why he didn't stop Daiyu from going to Beijing.

I got a letter from Jia's family, so I knew what the old lady Jia was thinking, and I somewhat understood that after Min'er passed away, the several letters of longing and complaints turned out to be such intentions, and I firmly opposed it!And wrote back to discuss the time to take back her daughter, but Mrs. Jia said that she wanted Daiyu to live for a few years, which was self-evident.Lin Ruhai calculated that her daughter would be here in a few days, so she did not hesitate to use all the pigeons sent by the imperial court to contact the Mo family urgently.After coming and going and knowing everything over there, I regret it!

"Yu'er!" Ruhai lifted his daughter into his arms, as if his heart had come back, with tears in his eyes, he said: "I know it all, I blame Daddy, it's Daddy who didn't protect you well and almost killed you." Yuer!"

"No, it's my daughter who is not filial!" Dai Yuwo kept crying in Ruhai's arms, her father's clothes were wet with tears.

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back!" Lin Ruhai patted Daiyu's back with infinite love for her daughter.

"Daddy, Daddy's complexion is so bad, could it be that Aunt Mo and the others are really trying to comfort me!" Daiyu touched Lin Ruhai's face with trembling hands, the white was tinged with black and white, she was shocked to see it.

Lin Ruhai smiled affectionately, grabbed the woman's hand and turned it over for her to see, the fingertips were stained with a faint bluish black, it turned out to be a disguise!

"You scared me to death!" Daiyu's heart suddenly fell, she just hugged her father and refused to let go.

"Be good, don't be afraid, Daddy is fine!" Lin Ruhai comforted and felt sorry for her when she saw her daughter so nervous. She was separated from her for half a year, but it seemed like half a lifetime.

The father and daughter laughed and cried, and talked for a long time.

Until the housekeeper sent a message at the door, saying that Mr. Lu of Suzhou Mansion had received several escort adults in the front hall for Lin Ruhai, and they had already settled down. Mr. Lu did not dare to disturb Lin Ruhai. He had just left and went back. Mr. Mo and Mr. Wei had also returned to the guest room Rest, only the second master Lian of the Jia family must visit.

"Let him come here." Lin Ruhai frowned with contempt, went to bed and covered the quilt, Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to make the cushions for her father to lean on, and Fang called three maids to come in and hide in the inner room.

As soon as he entered the door, Jia Lian's nose felt uncomfortable from the smell of medicine. Seeing Lin Ruhai seriously injured on the bed, he couldn't help believing what Jia Mu said, and hurried forward to say hello.

Lin Ruhai was like a gossamer, reluctantly answered, and soon coughed violently, Jia Lian repeatedly helped Shunqi to no avail, so he went out and called someone to come in to serve him, and then he left.When I came to pick up Daiyu last time, I lived in the Lin Mansion, which was clean and well-behaved. Jia Lian had a boring life. This time, he said that there were many guests in the Lin Mansion, so it was inconvenient to disturb her. It would be okay to visit Suzhou and Hangzhou for a few days, but the loneliness was unbearable. Su Liu went.It's good if he's not there, lest Lin Ruhai have to guard against him all the time.

"Daddy!" Hearing that Jia Lian had left, Daiyu turned out again.Just now the father's dress was so similar, I listened in the inner room, told myself repeatedly that it was fake, but couldn't help but feel sad.

"Yu'er..." Lin Ruhai saw the two ugly girls just now, and didn't dare to get up easily to reveal the truth.

"Father, I didn't tell you just now that my grandmother gave orders to two maids...you two haven't come to see the master yet." Daiyu understood and called out.

"Yes!" Zijuan and Chunxian quickly knelt down: "My servant Zijuan (Chunxian) kowtows to the master!"

"Hmm..." Lin Ruhai waved his hand weakly, wondering why his daughter brought them back.But she never does anything thoughtless, and she will definitely have a purpose when she comes back, so just ask later.

"Get up!" Daiyu wiped her eyes as an excuse.Then, Xueyan stepped forward to pay respects to her master, and the three of them stood behind Daiyu in an orderly manner.

"Yu'er, the journey is exhausting, let's go and rest first, ah..." Lin Ruhai felt sorry for her daughter and persuaded her earnestly.

"No, Yu'er wants to stay with Daddy!" Daiyu didn't want to leave, she just asked the three maids to clean up.

"Go, have a good rest, just come and stay with me during dinner..." Lin Ruhai coughed twice.

Daiyu was stubborn, as long as she sent the maids to tidy up the room, she was awkward and refused to leave.At this time, Xueyan stepped forward to persuade: "Since the master is distressed, the girl should go back. I'm afraid that the master is so excited after meeting the girl just now, so he has to rest. If there are people around, he will not be able to rest safely." Xueyan knew the ins and outs from the beginning to the end, and was afraid that Zijuan and others might have second thoughts, so she stepped forward to persuade her.

"Yu'er, let's go..." Lin Ruhai touched his daughter's hand: "Good boy..."

Unwilling to give up, Daiyu was finally persuaded to leave.The courtyard where she lives is just behind Lin Ruhai's main courtyard, separated by a clump of bamboo forest and two courtyard walls. Relatively speaking, Daiyu's house is in the best location in the mansion, which shows that Zhenai is extraordinary.The five nuns had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Daiyu's return, they greeted Daiyu and served her back and forth.

"It's still the same..." Daiyu touched the book case on the window lattice, and it was spotless. Even the poems she wrote before going to Beijing were put there as they were, as if this room had never been empty.

There is no need to tidy up the house, Lin Ruhai would come to sit every day, look at her daughter's handwriting, touch her comb, and the servants three times a day, not daring to leave a little dust, always waiting for Daiyu to come home.

The high gate, the empty nests of two or three swallows on the beam, one of them is crooked, which is more dangerous. Daiyu asked someone to break off two bamboo poles and tie them up to support them. In this season, the swallows probably went to the south again. I haven't returned yet, but soon, the south is much warmer than the north, and in ten days or so, the first swallows will arrive.

"Master must be thinking about the girl all day long, you can tell just by looking at the room." Xue Yan opened the dressing box, and put back the jewelry she brought back to the original place just like Chun Xian.Zijuan was familiar with the furnishings in the house from place to place, and when she entered Lin's mansion, she finally understood what a "scholarly family" was. Just looking at the spirit of those servants, she was many times better than the Jia family. Master Lin, even though he was sick, still had a calm and easy face. He had a very high level of cultivation at first glance, and he must have been a dragon and a phoenix when he was young.Not as pretentious as the second master, but a bit of a hard-pressed literati.At first glance, the Lin family's mansion is not as glamorous as the Jia's, but if you look closely, every utensil and object is not inlaid with silver and gold, but it is an out-and-out good thing.

032 see clearly

Before Zicuckoo fumbled around, some mothers had already stepped forward and untied their cloaks, pouring tea for those who poured tea, and those who held pots for tea, combing and washing Daiyu's face.They are all served by the girl since she urinates, and her every move is very appropriate, following the girl's habits.Zijuan couldn't get her hands in, so Fang remembered that she should buy a homely clothes for the girl and change it.

Opening the closet in the room, Zijuan was startled. She thought it was only the size of two doors. It turned out that the screens inlaid with embroidery on both sides were the extended decoration of the closet, and the deep ones inside were all from Daiyu.After thinking about it again, it turns out that the screen is also a door, and this cabinet is not small, there are three doors facing each other, all of which are seasonal clothes, which are hung up according to the usual routine.

"What is this?" Chunxian looked at Daiyu's colorful dressing box curiously, thinking that the girl's jewelry was all plain,
