Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March.

Although they came earlier, there is already a little spring in the south of the Yangtze River.

The willows in the Slender West Lake have sprouted, the white pagoda outside the city still looks like the old one, and the grass-colored smoke on the hillside forms a moving picture of early spring.

Before entering the city, Daiyu's emotions became agitated, and she frequently opened the curtain to look out.It's no wonder, after all, it's the hometown where I lived, and because Daiyu was young, she couldn't help her spirit to return to her hometown, and Jia Lian was in a hurry to return to the capital, so she just took care of Lin Ruhai's descendants and buried her in the Here, he left in a hurry.

So this is where her parents are buried.

In fact, Daiyu was still young when she left, and she was a girl and weak, so she seldom went out and walked around, so it was hard to say how familiar she was with this city.But just the word "Yangzhou" is enough to make her cry, let alone coming here in person?

The Lin family still has an old house here.Earlier, Daiyu said at Jia's house that she would sell the house here, and the old servants would go to Beijing to resettle, but it was actually just an excuse.There are still traces of the life of her parents and relatives here, which can be regarded as the last related expenses with them, how could she be willing to sell it?

Xue Pan sent someone to deliver the news before, so after entering the city, he ran into a young man who came to welcome them.Although they are masters and servants, they haven't seen each other for many years. The servants looked a bit restrained in a respectful manner. They asked each question and answered each sentence. Obviously, they haven't figured out the master's temperament, so they still have a sense of waiting and watching.

There is only one daughter left in the Lin family, and they haven't been in Yangzhou for many years. The decline is justified.No matter how loyal and passionate these servants are, they have gradually become cold over the past few years. It is normal to have other thoughts.

Both Bo Yang and Xue Pan noticed this, but they pretended they didn't see it.

When it comes to surnames, even though they are elder brothers, they can't do it for them.Daiyu had to tame these servants by herself.

Daiyu lived in Xue's house for the past two years, and learned a lot from her. Now is the time to practice and test it.

For this reason, Xue Pan and Bo Yang even fell behind and asked Daiyu to get out of the car first.

Zijuan jumped out of the car first and turned around to help Daiyu. ——She was originally left in Jia's house that day, because Bo Yang felt that she was a servant of Jia's family after all, and his heart was for Baoyu. With such a person by his side, it was not easy for Daiyu to look away.But it cannot be denied that by Daiyu's side, she has always been considerate and considerate of her.In the original book, knowing Daiyu's mental illness, he deliberately went to test Baoyu, which made Baoyu suffer from dementia again.

It's not reasonable to reason about her behavior, but under the circumstances at that time, it was actually her only choice.

As Baoyu grows older, she realizes that everyone can only get everyone's tears. After she and Daiyu have a heart-to-heart bond, Daiyu is no longer often entangled in Baoyu's attitude, but a new worry appears in her heart: her parents died early , no one advocates for life-long events, and my illness has already been completed, I am afraid that time is running out, and the future is extremely unpredictable.

However, although Zijuan made such a fuss, although it did not go through the clear path, everyone in Jia's mansion knew about Baodai's affairs. Even Jia's mother, in order to appease Baoyu, personally said that sister Lin was in our house. If you don't go anywhere.

If there is no accident, everyone will acquiesce that the two are a couple.This is the only "advocacy" Zijuan can make for Daiyu.

Although the two ended badly later, Zijuan was indeed a good maid, and Bo Yang had to admit that.Therefore, when Jia's family was confiscated and ruined, most of these maids lost their official positions. When they were sold out, he took the initiative to ask Daiyu to redeem all the former maids.Everyone else took the money and settled down separately, but Zijuan refused to leave, saying that she would stay and serve the girl for the rest of her life, and Daiyu finally had to agree.

Not to mention, in taking care of Daiyu, she is indeed more dedicated and capable than other girls, because she can figure out what Daiyu is thinking, and after all, she has been with her for several years, so she dares to say what she thinks in person, instead of Like everyone else, only submissive.

So this time when I left Beijing, no one else took me with me, but only her and Mother Tang.

Nanny Tang asked to come here on her own initiative.

In fact, she didn't agree with Daiyu going out to follow Bo Yang.Bo Yang didn't know what method Daiyu used to persuade her, but in the end she nodded, but she wanted to follow.

At this moment, Nanny Tang got out of the car and stood behind Daiyu with a stern face, immediately revealing the aura of a girl in her family.Seeing this, Bo Yang nodded thoughtfully.He somewhat understood why Nanny Tang followed her.Thinking about it, she knew what Daiyu was going to face, so she came to help.

For example, at this moment, she didn't even need to speak, she just had to stand there, and the face of the boy who came to pick him up immediately became serious, and his attitude became more respectful.

"Little Lin Da, come to take the girl back to the house."

"How long have you been waiting here?" Daiyu asked with a very natural smile.

Lin Da hurriedly said, "Returning to the girl, after receiving the letter, counting the days, it will be almost two days. From a while ago, the younger one came to the gate of the city to wait every day."

"Thanks for your hard work." Daiyu said, "I am not in Yangzhou these years, thanks to your thoughtfulness. Now that I am back, I will not treat you badly. There are still guests in the car, let's go back to the house first and then talk about the rest."

Changxing went over obediently and pulled Lin Da up.

Lin Ruhai was the censor of Yangzhou Yanzheng at the beginning, so he had an official residence to live in.Therefore, the old house of the Lin family here is not big, but every flower and tree are carefully selected and cultivated.And the house, from the architecture to the various decorations, is extremely small and exquisite in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, after years of wind and rain, the original splendid house is no longer the same.Although there are servants guarding it, they only do simple cleaning and are not responsible for repairs and other things. Besides, there are fewer people living in the big house, less popular, and it will deteriorate faster after it is deserted. Naturally, it revealed a decadent trend.

When Daiyu saw it outside the door, her eye circles turned red.Arriving here, she finally found some familiar shadows. ——She was born precocious, and because of her poor health, she could only stay in the backyard most of the time, so she was more familiar with it than other places.Even if he was still young at the time, he still had some impressions of what he had thought and thought over the years.

The servants who stayed in the mansion filed out to welcome their master back to the mansion.

There are not many people, and there are only seven or eight members of the Erfang family. Daiyu looked at them one by one, asked about their names and relationships, and then said emotionally, "I have worked hard for you all these years, and I know it in my heart. Other words Let’s not be in a hurry, please let the housekeeper settle down the two elder brothers first. I’ll go and offer incense to my parents.”

When Daiyu was in Jia's house, sacrifices were not allowed in the back house, so even if she missed her parents, she could only cry secretly, or burn a stick of incense by herself and die, and she couldn't do her best.Later, when I arrived at Xue's house, I felt at ease, but Daiyu thought that the tombs and ancestral house were all here, even if she sacrificed in the capital, it would not be very interesting, so she just let it go.

Now that she returns to Yangzhou, she has to officially begin to worship her parents and ancestors in the Lin family ancestral hall as the eldest daughter of the Lin family.

Bo Yang and Xue Pan knew that she had mixed feelings and must have a lot to say. At this time, there is no need for outsiders to be present, and it is better for her to vent her feelings. Therefore, they did not mention the matter of going to worship, and went with the servants. settled.

Here, Daiyu came to the ancestral hall surrounded by Zicuckoo and Madam Tang, and after seeing that they had prepared all the things, she let everyone go out and stayed in the ancestral hall by herself.

As soon as she saw the spiritual tablet, Daiyu could hardly control herself.But she still remembers what Bo Yang said to her, don't cry anymore.Besides, this is the first time to formally pay homage to parents after many years, if weeping and crying, I am afraid it will only make them worry, so I tried my best to endure it, and only after burning incense, I kowtowed a few times.

When her forehead touched the wooden floor, there was a "dong dong" sound. Daiyu was slightly taken aback, feeling that the sound was different from what she usually heard.She subconsciously raised her hand and knocked on the side. Sure enough, the sound was more dull, and there was no faint echo.

Is this ground empty?

She carefully uncovered the thin cushion, tried a few times, and finally peeled off the wooden board.And there is indeed a space under the board, and there is a mahogany box inside.

In the Lin family ancestral hall, it is placed where the directors kowtow, so one can imagine who will keep this thing.Daiyu never expected such a thing to be left in the ancestral hall, so she quickly took out the box and opened it carefully.

There was nothing else in the box but a letter written on fine silk.

The letter was written to her by Lin Ruhai.

Daiyu read the letter tremblingly, and couldn't help but raised her hand to cover her mouth tightly. If it wasn't for this, she was afraid that she would cry in the next second.

She frowned slightly, tried to open her eyes wide, and told herself desperately that she couldn't cry, she couldn't cry, but there was still a choked sob on her lips, "Father...mother...the daughter is not filial..."
