Yucuo of the Red Chamber

Thinking of Buddha, Daiyu couldn't help but giggle; thinking of Baoyu, she still frowned and sighed; but thinking of Zijuan, what Daiyu thought of was what she said, "Ten thousand taels of gold are easy to get, but a bosom friend is hard to find." ", "The most rare thing is that the children grew up together, and they know each other's temper, temperament, and temperament." Although there is one master and one servant, it can barely be regarded as "grow up together from a young age". Suddenly I feel a little funny. Thinking about having a concubine or a girl like her, maybe the master and the master can really turn against each other.Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little anxious again.Recently, the government has been talking about attacking people, and it was also said before, is it different for Zicuckoo?

"It's important to make up your mind." What's her idea?Just to ask Daiyu to ask Jiamu to go in every possible way?Otherwise, what else can she do as a girl?Even if she wanted to, she couldn't say this kind of thing, so how could she talk to Jia Mu?What a virtuous girl, she actually taught her master to be a thief.But Jia Mu had a good idea this time, and finally fulfilled her wish, and she can follow Baoyu with peace of mind from then on.

Daiyu thought about it all the way, but she didn't want to meet Zijuan who also came out of the garden with Baoyu on her arm.Baoyu's expression is still a little bewildered, but it seems to be much better than yesterday. When she saw Daiyu, she only called her "Sister Lin", and she seemed to have lost the color of nostalgia she had before.

Zijuan chatted and said: "Young lady looks much better recently, I wonder if she is much better?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's almost there."

Zijuan said again: "It's almost summer, and the window screens should be changed, otherwise there will be too many mosquitoes. The girl has to keep an eye on them. The snow geese are always big-hearted and can't remember. They also let them dry their winter clothes." Put it away and put it away, so as not to cover it up."

Eunuch Chen interjected: "Thank you, Miss Zijuan, for your concern. The situation of Second Master Bao is not very good now. The girl is still thinking about it. You should worry more about your own body, so as not to be exhausted. Second Master Bao has no one to take care of him. He should be seriously ill again. gone."

Zijuan's face was flushed with one word, and she bit her lip with hatred, but she was not easy to fight.Not to mention that Chen Gonggong speaks nicely, and she is no better than an internal official who can speak decently, and there is a Daming Palace behind her, and now everyone in the mansion gives him some face, how can she fight for it? Pass.Probably still have some worries, hard to say, so he hurriedly helped Baoyu to go.

At present, when everyone came to Jia Mu's room, they saw Jia Mu lying on the bed, haggard, with her eyes slightly open, not sure if she was clear or not.The imperial physician had already come, and only said that she had eaten too much and had a cold, so she prescribed a prescription and left.Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others were all gathered around the bed, and there were occasional people talking in the room, but it seemed even more deserted.Daiyu hurriedly went up to see Li, and Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "Yu'er, three girls and four girls, you are all young, and I don't care about you, go play by yourself."

Daiyu said: "Grandmother is sick, I should stay here to serve soup and medicine personally, and talk to grandma to relieve boredom, which can be regarded as filial piety for mother. There are still a few medicines here. If you can use them, keep them for use. Let's go." As he spoke, Eunuch Chen had already handed the medicine to Yuanyang to collect, and it was still some ginseng, deer antler, musk borneol and the like, just a few things, to express his affection.

Mother Jia was so weak that she reluctantly took Daiyu's hand and patted it a few times, sighing: "You yourself are in trouble, so keep some of these medicines, and don't worry about them sometimes; when they are gone, worry about it." Look around. Grandmother knows that you have always been filial, so there is no need to serve soup and medicine. If you are free and visit grandma every day, you will be satisfied. Go, I will make you feel sad even if you are bored here."

Seeing that Mother Jia really wanted her to go, Daiyu couldn't stay longer, and Mrs. Wang looked unhappy when she came in with Baoyu, so she didn't want to stay longer; what's more, Mother Jia was only slightly ill, not seriously ill. It's critical, and there are a lot of daughters-in-law, grandsons, great-grandchildren, daughters-in-law, maids, and mothers-in-law. It is very unnecessary for her to intervene, so as not to be suspected of hypocrisy.Serving Jia Min like that back then, it's because Lin's family is small, and she is also a real mother, so it's different after all.

At that moment Daiyu came out of Jiamu's bedroom, stood at the door and thought for a while, then prepared to leave.Before he reached the gate of the courtyard, he looked up and saw Xiangyun bringing the girl and woman in. Looking at her dusty appearance, he thought she had just arrived.Seeing Daiyu, she hurriedly asked, "Sister Lin, how is your ancestor? Is she okay? My ancestor has been ill for so long, and you didn't tell me, which made me delay."

Daiyu said: "You're not a doctor, so I'll tell you what to do. It's time to wait for the old ancestor to heal before I tell you. Come and laugh with the old ancestor. Besides, no one told you, how did you know? "

Xiangyun pulled Daiyu to the side corridor, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that something happened in the East Mansion, is there such a thing? The ancestor has been ill for so long, does it have anything to do with it? "

Daiyu thought for a while before answering: "If you want to say it, you were bumped into by the housekeeper from Dongfu...that is, the escaped housekeeper. You are so pretending to be a ghost, what's the matter? Why don't you go and see your ancestors soon? , what should I ask here first?"

Xiangyun replied: "Sister Lin, wait for me for a while, and I will tell you when I finish watching the old ancestor."

Daiyu pointed to her forehead and said with a smile: "You still can't get rid of your roughness, so hurry up and go in, the old ancestor looks fine at the moment."

Cuihui hurriedly came up to pull Daiyu and said with a smile: "I met Miss Lin. Our girl is still like this, but Miss Lin can't touch her casually, she is two people now, the doctor told me to be careful."

Daiyu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Well, I forgot, you still have a husband, I don't want to move you."

Cui Hui shook her head and said: "Miss Lin misunderstood, it's not that, it's because she still has one in her stomach, and it's only two months now. Before leaving the house, my wife told me again and again, let us serve the girl carefully, and we must not let her mischievously move around." , so as not to be unkind to the little master. No, the young master was still worried, so he followed. At this moment, the second master Lian is having tea and talking with him, and he will come to see the old ancestor later."

It turned out that Daiyu stood there, blushing suddenly, and looking at Xiangyun, she was also a little shy, and it must be true.After a while, Daiyu teased and said: "I see, now you are protected by your husband and brother, I can't afford to offend you. I'll go back first, and just come to Xiaoxiang Hall to find me later. You are only allowed to come, if your brother-in-law is worried, then don't come."

Xiangyun gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Lin just made fun of me, I'll settle the score with you later." As she was talking, a woman went in to reply, but now Amber had already picked it up, so Xiangyun had to follow her in, looking back at Dai Yu teased her from behind, wishing she could come up and hit her twice, but right now she didn't dare to move a little bit, otherwise Cui Ling would scream, wishing everyone in the world would know that she was pregnant now.

Looking at her back, Daiyu shook her head and smiled, then came out as usual and went back the same way.After entering the garden, seeing no one around, he pulled Eunuch Chen and asked, "I just remembered when I saw Yun'er. Could it be that the ancestor has been ill for so long, and no one came to see her? No matter what happened before, There will be many people coming in half a day. And there was such a commotion yesterday, and there is no movement today. But if everything is fine, why are grandma and first aunt and second aunt looking so bad?"

Eunuch Chen carefully helped her back to the yard, while laughing softly: "In the past, everyone said that girls don't like to take care of things, so they do. I'm not kidding. Seeing from the expressions of the old ladies and the others, no one else knows the details at the moment. And for some reason, Lai Sheng has indeed run away now, and a lot of things have been lost in the mansion, but he has neither reported it to the authorities nor seen it. Isn't it a strange thing that people went looking for it, and it just died down like this?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "I was thinking the same way. The genius doctor said... I have to leave sooner or later, I just thought..."

Eunuch Chen shook his head and said: "The magic doctor is a golden talker, it has nothing to do with it, girl, don't talk nonsense. It's a matter in the mansion, I think it's interesting. Do you want to know why no one came to see the old lady? It's actually not difficult to understand. Don't say it In the past, when the mansion was proud, others would naturally flatter and flatter them. If there was a trouble, everyone would only hate that their legs were not long enough; now that they are a little frustrated, people naturally become lazy, even if they have legs, they don’t want to move, let alone take advantage of the bad luck And it's not that the girl doesn't know that the old lady was bumped into by a promotion. This matter is considered ugly in the family, and she can't tell it after all; it's inconvenient to make public, and it's not easy to speak when outsiders come. See you later. It was done so hastily, and now that the imperial decree on the draft has come down, and the Jia family is still charged with this crime, who else will come?"

Daiyu thought for a while, and turned her head a few times, but she still didn't quite understand, and asked: "My father-in-law's words are also reasonable, but like Xiao Shihou's family, first aunt's family, and second aunt's family—this is still more relatives. Why didn’t your relatives come to inquire about it? It’s not justified. If you say you don’t know anything, no one will believe you if you tell it. Besides, the mansion and Concubine Nan’an, Concubine Beijing, Hou Gaoming of Jinxiang, and Uncle Linchang Imperial orders, Marquis of Chuanning’s imperial orders, uncle of Shoushan’s imperial orders, and many more, are all family friends, and they are all honored and harmed. Since the emperor has issued several imperial edicts to bestow medical treatment, they should come and see it.”

Eunuch Chen helped Daiyu carefully walk into the house along the pathway under the bamboo grove, and said with a smile: "Young lady's words are true. But since it's a family scandal, and it happens to be the funeral of the empress, everyone has no time to come even if they want to. It has been more than ten days since the funeral, and the people in the mansion are still secretive and ashamed to speak out; probably everyone should just wait for a suitable time to come back, or wait until the old lady is well before visiting. Relatives, now they are too busy taking care of themselves, how dare they stand up?"
