[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu

For a period of time after that, Luoli Daiyu often brought Xueyan to look for Liu Cui, as if treating Liu Cui as her elder.

One day, when Liu Cui was researching rouge in her laboratory, Daiyu suddenly walked in quietly, looking at Liu Cui with a reddish face, without making a sound.Liu Cui got into the mystery, and it took a long time to find Daiyu standing beside her.

Liu Cui quickly washed her hands with the water prepared beside her, and then pulled Daiyu aside, fearing that Daiyu would knock something down and get hurt.

After finishing this series of things, Liu Cui asked with a smile: "Why do you think you are running in such a hurry? Your face is flushed, are you tired?" It's much better to pretend to be cold when we first meet, this is the appearance that young people should have.

Daiyu shook her head, indicating that she was not tired.

"Not tired, then why are you blushing?" Liu Cui laughed.This kid is too honest to hide it.

Daiyu blushed, hesitated for a while, and then stretched out her hands that had been behind her back, and spread them out in front of Liu Cui. Liu Cui took a closer look, it was a delicate-looking little purse.

Daiyu explained: "I have nothing to do recently, so I made a lot of purses, and I gave one to grandma!"

Liu Cui has been in the world of Red Mansions for so long, and this is the first time she has received a gift from someone else, not to mention it was from this cute little Daiyu in front of her. It would be a lie to say that she is unhappy, so she accepts this purse and puts it in her hand to play with. The landscape embroidered on it, praised: "Yu'er, your embroidery is really good, this embroidery is really beautiful."

Although Daiyu didn't say anything, the corners of her mouth curled up, looking very happy.The current Daiyu has not experienced the setbacks and tribulations in the future, and has not learned to swallow her anger and compromise, so her emotional expression is quite straightforward.

Liu Cui never wears any accessories during experiments, but made an exception and immediately brought this purse with her, boasting: "It's so beautiful!"

Daiyu was a little embarrassed by Liu Cui's praise, so she quickly changed the subject and asked curiously, "Grandma, what are you doing?"

"Make rouge, isn't grandma's house selling rouge? I'll make a show here first, and then others can compare my rouge."

"Is that rouge made of these petals?" Daiyu asked curiously, pointing to some plum blossom petals in the corner.

"Almost, these petals are so clean when they grow on the branches, and they look so beautiful when they fall. I use these to make rouge, so that these beautiful and pure flowers will not fall into the dirty water in vain, but will get a new life , Just like crops are grown to fill people’s stomachs, petals are made into rouge, which is endowed with a new meaning of existence.”

With a thought in her mind, Liu Cui thought of the classic scene in the original book "Red Mansion" - Daiyu's burial of flowers. At this time, her brain was running fast, and she answered cleverly.

"Really? These beautiful rouges are all made of these petals." Xiao Daiyu asked in surprise.

"Of course it didn't happen all at once." Liu Cui smiled, "Just like people, they need to grow first, then experience many setbacks, and then overcome them, and finally they can grow and become a strong and attractive person. The petals are the same, they need to be crushed, filtered, distilled, etc. before they can be turned into rouge that makes girls more beautiful~"

"It's amazing!" Daiyu exclaimed, picking up the petals in the corner.No one has ever told Daiyu about these things, nor did Daiyu read the books. The world is so wonderful! Rouge is actually made of flower petals.

In fact, at this time, there are many noble ladies who have nothing to do and will order their servants to pick some flower petals to make rouge for fun.But the nobles in Jia's mansion are different from other places. Most of them, including Mrs. Wang, are extravagant and self-confident. They think that making rouge by themselves is as disrespectful as a craftsman, so they seldom make it.

Furthermore, since Daiyu entered Jia's residence, she seldom went out, and besides the sisters of Jia's residence, she had no close friends in her boudoir, so Daiyu didn't know that rouge was made of flowers until she was 11 years old.

Seeing Daiyu's amazed face, as if fascinated, Liu Cui softened her voice: "Then Yu'er learned how to make rouge with grandma, so that those petals won't be wasted for nothing, and I can often come to play with grandma."

"But..." Although Daiyu was a little moved, she felt abrupt.

Liu Cui continued to persuade: "Do you think making rouge is an inferior job? Besides, you don't want to make a living by making rouge like your grandma. It's just a hobby, just like embroidery and painting at a girl's home."

"Grandma..." Daiyu continued to hesitate.

"Grandma can teach you. If grandma isn't here, there will still be Uncle Wu." Liu Cui continued to guarantee the ticket.

"Okay, then I'll disturb grandma." Daiyu was finally tricked by Liu Cui into making rouge.

Children are still curious after all.

And Liu Cui firmly believes that when a person is obsessed with a career or a hobby, he will have no distractions, and it is difficult to be attracted by other things.

Instead of letting Daiyu put her heart on Baoyu, it is better to let Daiyu concentrate on other things, which is worse than daydreaming.

Daiyu really did what she said, and she said she would make rouge, so she collected the petals in the mansion herself, and didn't bury the flowers, just smashed them up.

But Daiyu is always a girl who lives in Rongguo Mansion, and she has not left the cabinet, so she can't go out of the mansion often, so she directly asked Jia Mu to ask for a small courtyard with no one in it, and worked in it all day long, only encountering difficulties Only then ran out to find Liu Cui to answer.

Later, the whole government knew that Daiyu liked to make rouge.Regarding this matter, Jia's mother also laughed and said: "Yu'er looks like me when I was young. When I was young, I also made rouge with my own hands. Others praised me for making it unique. It's just that I am old and weak, and I am much older. Haven't done it in years."

So, with the support of Jiamu, Daiyu worked harder to make rouge, and from time to time, she also helped Jiamu to do it together.

It has to be said that Daiyu is very talented, and in just half a month, she can already make a decent rouge.Not only that, Sanchun was also interested in this novelty and joined in. Daiyu had a lot of fun every day and felt a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, it was unavoidable that Baoyu, who liked to eat rouge since she was a child, came to the small courtyard where Daiyu made rouge most frequently.Not only that, Xu Shi was used to eating rouge since he was a snack, and Baoyu also had a bit of talent for making rouge, and he was on par with Daiyu.

Liu Cui overheard Daiyu talking about this matter, and almost burst into anger: Why did these two people get together again!

Dismantling! The two must be separated!

Liu Cui was so angry that she immediately went to find Sister Feng, and cryptically raised this issue. A man should put his studies first, so why would he go to the girl's yard all day to make rouge?Sister Feng understood in seconds.

Sister Feng's work efficiency was really high. The next day, Jia Zheng blocked Baoyu who was going to look for Daiyu, and whipped him solidly. Mother, but at any rate this also prevented Baoyu from looking for Daiyu for a long time.

This made Liu Cui's heart a little more stable.She was most afraid that this childhood sweetheart would spark something and do something else to ruin Daiyu's reputation.After all... Judging from the current situation and Baoyu's own personality:

Baoyu is not a good match for Daiyu!

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

Of course, Liu Cui also believes that even though Daiyu is knowledgeable about the past and the present and is extremely intelligent, she is confined to the Rongguo Mansion all day long, and what she sees, hears and thinks only about the things in the inner house, does not limit her vision.

In addition, Daiyu is only 11 years old now, and her personality has not yet settled down.If Daiyu's normal three views can be established now, Daiyu may not necessarily die because of emotional injuries in the future, which will aggravate her illness and kill her.Don’t you see: There are so many girls in modern times who are lovelorn and say they want to die or live, how many of them really put it into action?

And the most important thing is that Daiyu's body is not good all the year round. Liu Cui is not a doctor and doesn't understand the diseases brought by her mother's womb. She doesn't know how to treat them. At present, Daiyu can only exercise regularly and maintain an optimistic attitude , After the matter in front of me is resolved, I will slowly figure it out.

Right now, Liu Cui has one most important thing to do. Although she is reluctant to part with the lovely and lovely Loli Daiyu, she has to leave.

At the beginning of spring, Liu Cui took the dog and Wuxu together with the Zou Ying brothers, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River with a lot of money, and went straight to Yangzhou.

The journey from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River is far away, and most of them take the water route. Because the ice surface in the upper reaches thawed, ice floods appeared in the lower reaches. The group dared not take the water route, so they switched to the land route.

At this time, Liu Cui had already taken off her thick cotton padded clothes and began to wear spring shirts.

When traveling by water, taking a boat was boring, and there was nothing else to do, so Zou Ying taught these people to write and read some books.It has to be said that although Zou Ying did not fail to take the imperial examination and had no fame, his knowledge is not low at all.

Under Zou Ying's teaching, Liu Cui's half-baked water level has increased by more than a star and a half;

At this time, Gou'er didn't complain about spending too much money when he bought Wuxu, but also praised Wuxu and encouraged him to study hard.

Hearing these compliments, Wuxu just smiled shyly and didn't speak, being very shy.

But when Liu Cui and the others worked hard to learn knowledge, Zou Jie did not change his true nature, he was very skinny, he would get up on the bench for less than a quarter of an hour, touch this, touch that, just like a child with ADHD , so angry that Zou Ying often threw the book.

Liu Cui is angry and funny. At Liu Cui's level, she deeply understands the importance of knowledge, but for this lively and lovely Zou Jie, Liu Cui couldn't bear to criticize him too much, and just joked with Zou Ying: "Jieer is so Naughty, in the future you need to marry a wife with artifice, otherwise you won't be able to restrain him in front of you." Zou Jie, who was hiding and eavesdropping, was ashamed!

He is still young, so he doesn't think about getting married!

There was a fight here, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Liu Cui and his party had arrived at Yangzhou Ferry.Although Yangzhou Ferry is nominally a ferry of one state, it is actually located at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Canal, where the north-south traffic converges, and its prosperity is no less than that of Tianjin Port.

As soon as Zou Ying got off the boat, two young men dressed in short jackets in Tsing Yi greeted him.Ever since Master Zou received his son's letter, he sent people to guard the ferry every day. This long-awaited and hoped finally waited for Zou Ying to come back.

After they got out of the car, they were invited into the carriage that had already been prepared, and drove towards the Zou Mansion all the way.

Mr. Zou greeted him personally at the door.

As soon as they saw the two brothers Zou Ying and Zou Jie, they went up to greet them. The three of them hugged into a ball, and it was very lively for a while.Liu Cui and the others stood politely by the side, and when Master Zou came back to his senses, he exchanged a few words with Liu Cui, and the group entered the mansion.

Mr. Zou has been in business for many years and has seen a lot of knowledge. Nowadays, more than half a hundred people pay attention to self-cultivation, and he has a little more refined atmosphere, which makes people feel good.

Zou Ying has already explained this matter clearly to Father Zou.As a father, his son is very proud of being able to make such a career in the capital.By the way, I became more enthusiastic about Liu Cui and the others. These are all capable, and I should treat them with care.

Liu Cui and the others were exhausted, and Zou's father was inconvenient to force him, so he arranged for his servants to take Liu Cui and the others to the guest room that had been prepared to rest.

After they left, the father and son chatted for a while before father Zou asked them to go back to their room to rest.

Zou Jie had been exhausted for a long time, and when he heard his father let him go back to his room, he quickly ran away.Zou Ying is more mature and stable than Zou Jie, so he falls behind.At this time, Zou's father called Zou Ying who was about to get up, and said, "Your uncle misses you too, go and see him another day."

Zou Ying agreed and went back to her room to rest.

The author has something to say:

In other words, in the original book, the crimson bead fairy was originally crimson bead grass,

If crimson bead can bloom, Daiyu can make rouge—a flower can make other flowers into rouge??!!(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

PS: Before Liu Cui saw that the 13-year-old Baochai had no fluctuations in her heart and only wanted to do business; now she takes good care of the 11-year-old Daiyu,

In addition to the needs of the plot, it is more the author's foreshadowing reason... It's not that sister Lin has the halo of the protagonist or that the author has written Daiyu as a heartthrob...

PSS: Moreover, I buried other foreshadowing in the early stage_(:з」∠)_
