[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

In the previous life, the concubine in Yuanchun was a virtuous concubine of the second rank, which aggravated the prosperity of Jia's mansion and accelerated the demise of Jia's mansion.In the first rebirth, Daiyu looked at the handsome young woman in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart.

Yuan Chun is the elder sister, of course Daiyu wanted to stand up to greet her, but she didn't kneel down - because Yuan Chun is not a concubine, and her light blue palace dress is much more gorgeous than the little palace ladies Daiyu has seen, but she doesn't The nobleman's personal maid is so arrogant when she sees the National People's Congress—and Daiyu is still a little hesitant. According to the rules of the palace, can she and Yuanchun "recognize relatives" at will?

The little maid next to Daiyu had already blessed Yuan Chun, and then smiled at Daiyu: "Miss Lin, this is the official seventh-rank register of the Shanggong Bureau, and it should be mentioned by the princess, yours Cousin?"

Yuanchun entered the palace as a female official, that is, a female official. At first, she was the Wupin female historian of the Siji Division, and then was promoted to Zhengqipin in charge of records, assisting the Zhengwupin Division in charge of classics, books and writings.

Apparently, when Nongyue brought Daiyu into the palace, or before, she had checked Daiyu's relatives thoroughly.Seeing that the little maids were not unhappy, Daiyu felt relieved, blessed Yuan Chun again, and asked with a smile, "Why is Big Sister here?"

"I'm here to deliver books to the princess." Yuan Chun put down a stack of books with a smile, and put them in two stacks, "This one belongs to the princess, and the other is yours. It's a great honor to read with the princess, my sister must You have to be careful to serve the princess, so that you can appreciate the grace of heaven and stop being kind."

The rules for female officials are also very strict, and they are not allowed to intrude if they have nothing to do. Fortunately, Yuan Chun is in charge of the official Qipin of the Si Ji Division, and the Si Ji Division is in charge of the palace books, so he also slightly manages the work of some princesses' reading and calligraphy.

"It's natural. Daiyu thanked my sister for teaching me." Daiyu knew that this was a place where the moon was played, Yuanchun could not stay for long, and she could not talk too much, so she just talked about the situation for a while, and after Yuanchun left, she picked up her bag A stack of books, accompanied by two copies of embroidery, went back to her room last night, reasoning that she wanted to concentrate on her homework and did not want to be disturbed, so she left all the little maids outside.

Apparently Yuan Chun gave Daiyu some secret signal, but this was obviously within Nongyue's tolerance range. The little maids didn't say much. They baked the charcoal basin, poured the tea, and brought a few plates of snacks over. Withdrew according to his words.

In the room, Daiyu carefully flipped through the books handed over by Yuan Chun. Sure enough, in the innermost layer of a book, there was a small note with only one sentence written on it: homework".

Daiyu did the math, there is still half a month left before the first day of junior high school!In other words, even if she helps the princess cheat this time, it is unlikely that she will be caught by Concubine Zhou?As for the female gentlemen—Nong Yue openly dozed off in class, but they all turned a blind eye.

Daiyu put the note on the candle and burned it. Looking at the dancing flames and the black ashes of the paper, Daiyu not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became even more nervous—although she was able to escape for a while, but after the first day of the new year, so what should I do now?

Besides, Nongyue didn't just ask her companion to help her with her homework. Just now Daiyu couldn't bear it, so she tested the maids here, but they either shook their heads and said they didn't know where the princess had gone, or they lowered their heads mysteriously. He laughed and said, "It must have been out of the palace."

Nongyue did have a token to leave the palace, but as a little princess who represents the face of the royal family, it's not good to show her face all the time, right?If Concubine Zhou pursued her "crime of not admonishing", how would she deal with it then?

After thinking about it, Daiyu was still at a loss. She had indeed thought about admonishing Nongyue, but firstly, Nongyue had a lot of secrets in her body, and she didn't want to get burned; secondly, how could that proud and willful little princess listen to others? Persuade?

In the end, Daiyu still sighed faintly, and asked a little court lady to find herself a small purse embroidered by Nong Yue, planning to do the same. The little yellow butterfly with wings flutters like a living thing. Although it is rough compared to the perfect Suzhou embroidery, for an 11-year-old girl, such a work is already handy.

Daiyu suppressed the doubts in her heart, and began to slowly do two homework: after all, Yangzhou embroidery method is different from that of the capital, and her own, the colors are denser; Nongyue's, the color matching shows the gorgeous characteristics of the north , but the details are not so serious... Daiyu needles slowly, being very careful with each stitch.

Nongyue was out of the palace for an unexpectedly long time this time, and she hurried back just before the hour of Hai, with a tired face and covered in autumn frost, she ran in hurriedly, but with a chill, she immediately drank a bottle of water as soon as she entered the room. I had three big bowls of hot tea, and only then did I recover.

Daiyu didn't rest, looking at Nongyue's pale face and trembling body, she felt that the proud and lazy little white cat had suddenly turned into a shivering pitiful little rabbit, she couldn't help stepping forward and said: "Princess, I have asked someone to prepare bath water, why don't you take a bath?"

Nongyue glanced at her wearily, and saw two purses with completely different styles but almost the same level in her hand, she was slightly taken aback, and then stuffed a small candy figurine bought at the market in her sleeve to her. : "I can't see that you are quite clever."

Daiyu was shivering from her cold hands, and ignored her "praise". Anyone who was forced to help cheat and bear the bitter fruit would feel aggrieved and unwilling, but stepped out of the way, with a straight face: "It's getting late, so please rest early, the princess. In the afternoon, the Shang Palace Bureau sent new books, and they have all been delivered to your room. I have also annotated the explanation for the verse that the lady will teach tomorrow."

Nongyue pouted, shook her arms three times, and stared at Daiyu for a while, after all, the temptation of the hot bath still overwhelmed the well-behaved little Daiyu with a pretty face.Nongyue skipped into the house to take a bath, but she didn't know if it was the cold or her lively nature. She was not afraid of troubles, and even took the initiative to cause troubles.

Daiyu sighed silently, and secretly decided—the day after tomorrow I have a holiday, and I can go out of the palace, so I must ask my brother again, ask Nongyue...and myself.

Yuanchun's information is accurate, and of course Daiyu's homework is also enough to confuse the real one. At least Nongyue pretended to shout on the second day: "You really did it? I thought I got up to embroider it when I was sleepwalking at night." Woolen cloth?"

Daiyu didn't pick up words, just read and practiced silently, but secretly looked at Nongyue's handwriting—it was beautiful and pleasant, not ugly, and of course, it wasn't hard to imitate.

After finally making it to the sixth day, even though Nongyue gave the token, Daiyu went to Fenghua Palace to report to Concubine Zhou in person, but Concubine Zhou did not see her, so she just sent someone to tell her "I understand", but Fenghua The eunuchs in charge of the palace were also kind and not embarrassing.

Thinking of the approaching winter, her father's cough has been difficult to cure, and the colder it gets, the worse it gets... Daiyu silently swallowed the bitterness in her heart, stopped the eunuch who was going to the yamen to find Lin Ruhai, and motioned everyone to send her directly to Lin Jifeng's house.

Lin Jifeng was in the main hall, looking like he was waiting for her.

Bringing Xiao Daiyu to the study, Lin Jifeng still had a foolish smile, and purposely took a look at Xiao Daiyu's figure: "My sister seems to be doing well these days, but she has gained weight and is more radiant than before. "

Daiyu's face was flushed instantly, she couldn't help but glanced at her still thin body, and then gave him a hard look: Listening to Nongyue's occasional tone in the palace, you knew that Concubine Zhou would not intentionally embarrass me, Did you know it would be difficult to be caught between the imperial concubine and the princess?

Lin Jifeng saw that Daiyu was slightly upset, but she was not telling the truth: I was really worried at the beginning, but since I was sure it had nothing to do with me, I let go of half of my heart.

"Brother, I saw sister Yuanchun." Daiyu thought for a while, but decided to start with Yuanchun.

Lin Jifeng deliberately avoided it, or felt that there was really nothing to say about the Yuanchun matter: "Although she is a female official, but our family has a general and a prime minister, she sends you a message, and you just take it, there is nothing unbearable."

Daiyu frowned slightly—brother seems to be prejudiced against the Jia family?But thinking about the previous life... that's all, there is only one precious jade that can be said to be sincere.

That being the case, Daiyu changed the subject silently: "Brother, I always thought that Princess Nongyue was very strange. She was a bit capricious, but she was not a bully or unreasonable person..." Moreover, whether it was reading and writing or female workers doing arithmetic, Playing the moon is not bad, if you haven't practiced, how can it be possible?But if she had practiced hard in private, why did she let others do her homework for her?

"Nongyue bullied a dozen of my friends, and you still think she's good?" Lin Jifeng smiled exaggeratedly.

Daiyu frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her voice was like a breeze: "She is not bad to me, she is very careful in some things..."

"For example?" Lin Jifeng raised his eyebrows.

But Daiyu shook her head: "I can't tell...it's just a feeling."

Lin Jifeng didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, but just grabbed the fan and shook it: "She should treat you better, is your surname Lin; if you are a girl from the Zhou family, let's see if she doesn't bully you to death!"

In such a cold day, fanning the fan naturally felt a bit of coolness. Daiyu couldn't help shrinking her snow-white neck, her eyes were focused on the fan in Lin Jifeng's hand. On it was the famous saying of the ancients: "The dead are like husbands, never give up day and night" , I couldn't help being stunned, and suddenly thought of a possibility in my heart: "Brother, did Princess Nongyue choose most of the accompanying readers herself?"

Of course Lin Jifeng understood what Daiyu meant, and looked at her meaningfully: "You are definitely not the first one caught by her."

Daiyu's small hands suddenly grabbed the corner of her coat, and finally a little mist disappeared from her beautiful eyes.It seems that Nongyue really often goes out of the palace.Girls of this age love to play and fight, and don’t like to be restrained. There are also many masks and noodle figures from the market in the moon room, new smart skins sold by Hu merchants, glass toys and some snacks— —However, Daiyu always feels that things are definitely not that simple.

Seeing Xiao Daiyu's pensive look, Lin Jifeng couldn't help laughing, and reminded again: "Nongyue is a smart and cautious girl, of course, my sister is not bad either."

"You don't need to find out what Yue is doing out there, she won't be so stupid as to show such a small tail for you to catch." Lin Jifeng suddenly took out a box from under the desk, pressed it on the table, and looked at Xiao Daiyu who was still thinking deeply, " It seems that my younger sister is quite used to that palace - if I don't want to come back crying aggrieved a month later, I can help my younger sister a little bit."

"Brother?" Daiyu's eyes widened suddenly: what does he mean?

"Originally, I thought my sister would be back in less than a month, so I don't need to bother my sister with all the messy things in the palace-but now I see that my sister and Nongyue get along pretty well, and, my sister With high spirits, I sure don't want to take the trouble of teaching the princess bad for no reason, and then be kicked back?" Lin Jifeng squeezed his eyes, and ran on Xiao Daiyu again.

Daiyu didn't say a word, but silently pondered—is it a good thing or a bad thing for her father, herself, and all her family members to be in the palace?

"Of course my sister doesn't have to worry about safety. As long as my sister doesn't make any big mistakes in a moment of confusion, the surname Xiao will definitely keep my sister safe." Lin Jifeng blinked his eyes mysteriously, only half-spoken, and really didn't clean up.

Daiyu didn't understand the "surname Xiao", but Lin Jifeng had already opened the box at hand, revealing a fragrant herbal medicine inside: "Holding someone's hand is short, after returning to the palace, remember to give this thing to Concubine Zhou."

Seeing that Daiyu was stunned and silent, Lin Jifeng said with a smile: "Didn't my sister already think of a way to take Princess Nongyue out of the palace? That little girl will reciprocate. As for Concubine Zhou, the surname Xiao is there, she dare not be too Embarrassing my sister."

Daiyu was even more stunned: she did think of a way to save Nongyue from skipping classes and homework all the time, but how did brother see it?Also, who is that "named Xiao"?Since he could restrain Concubine Zhou, he must be a noble person—why didn't Nong Yue, who was talking about concubines to him when he had nothing to do, never mention it at all?

"Looking at the words and the colors... not only from practice, but more often from being forced." Lin Jifeng sighed pretentiously, and brought the topic back to the medicinal materials in the box, "In ancient times and modern times, to do things, you must not only have ideas, but also have ideas. Money. My younger sister Bingxue was smart, came up with an idea, and won the big head, and my brother had no choice but to pay a small amount of money in order not to be so embarrassing."

"This is Dendrobium orchid, a herbal medicine from Yunnan, which is much more valuable than Panax notoginseng. Unfortunately, my sister is yang deficient and cannot take it." Lin Jifeng once again pretended to be rebellious, "Since it is not very useful, why don't you just cheapen the concubine Zhou. Remember to bring it in, my sister. Go to the palace, let the people from the Shangyao Department check it first, so as to save time and trouble."

"Dendrobium orchids... It is said that they all grow on the cliffs and mountains, and the herb pickers risked their lives to get a small one..." Daiyu was a little frightened, Lin Jifeng took a lot of effort to get such a big one Bar?

"That's right, my sister is really well-informed." Lin Jifeng shook his fan again, smiling, "But there is one thing my sister doesn't know. This dendrobium grows on the mountain wall, but fortunately it is dark, and it often grows on some very dark places. In the narrow mountain crevice, there is a long distance from the top of the cliff - so, in order to be able to move freely, and to reduce the weight to prevent the rope from breaking, generally those who risk their lives to collect herbs with a rope tied are six or seven year-old child."

"Ah, six or seven years old?" Daiyu couldn't help covering her mouth, her eyes widened, full of surprise and sympathy, "Brother, did you..."

Lin Jifeng rubbed his waist on purpose, and then thumped again: "Hehe, it's all in the past, but don't tell me, the rope really hurts, I still remember it..."

When I was six or seven years old, I was raised in a deep boudoir, with no worries about food and clothing, and no wind and rain, but my brother experienced life and death trials when he was young... Tears were already overflowing from Daiyu's big eyes, and Lin Jifeng hurried to see him. Waving his hands and laughing: "It's okay, if those old masters didn't recruit me to 'work' at that time, my mother and I would have starved to death. To be honest, I have to thank them."

"That uncle..." Daiyu's eyes became even brighter.

"Hey, he was taken away." Lin Jifeng looked helpless, but he was very relaxed, without any sense of sadness and heaviness at all. Arrest people from house to house with water and fire sticks, and break their legs if they don't want to... Then it happened to be an earthquake, and the house collapsed. Fortunately, my mother and I were taken into the mountain by the masters the night before, uncle He sneaked back to look for us, but couldn't find him, he thought we were dead, so he just gave up and stayed in the barracks, and later, by accident, he got out..."

At that time, the border was in chaos, the Japanese pirates were waiting for the opportunity to harass, the navy suffered huge losses, there were many deserters, and people were in panic. They had to come up with a way to arrest people. It's not a blessing, once the general is successful, the bones will be exhausted. In troubled times, it is easiest to produce a general.

It wasn't until he was nine years old that Lin Rui, who had just been promoted to the chief envoy, found him.At that time, Lin Rui's eyes were red, but he didn't cry... He really couldn't cry.

Daiyu was completely speechless, the glistening tears had already wetted the veil.She thought that she was miserable in the previous life, but now she realizes that there are people in this world who are much more miserable than herself. They have no food, no clothes, and struggle in life and death...

"Don't cry, don't cry." Seeing that Daiyu was really crying, Lin Jifeng became anxious, and secretly scolded himself for being a spoiled brat who likes to watch the excitement, so he quickly found a handkerchief to wipe her face, "Okay, okay, let's go Come on, be good, don't cry...Like a rabbit, when you go back to the palace at night, Nongyue doesn't think I'm bullying you anymore!"

Seeing that Daiyu was still sobbing with her head down, Lin Jifeng had no choice but to find a topic to comfort Xiao Daiyu: "Sister, do you know that there is a famous tea called 'Dahongpao' along the coast?" The God-Tending Tea Pill, Immediately the Number One Scholar, Dahongpao is known as the sage of tea..."

"I know..." Daiyu was still sobbing, but she was distracted and listened, "It's the legendary champion tea...'The filial son climbed the cliff to get the magic medicine, and returned home with a red robe...'... ..."

"That kind of tea also grows on the cliffs. Tea is not the same as medicine. It is a tree, not a plant. The tea farmers have trained a bunch of little monkeys to pick tea - monkeys will definitely not fall when they climb trees. Right?" Lin Jifeng scratched his head, like a monkey, "I saw it later, and I had an idea, monkeys can pick tea, and naturally they can also pick medicine, right? Although there is no tree for it to climb, monkeys are always smarter than humans , it’s much lighter... Hey, I raised a bunch of monkeys, or I’ll bring them to you someday, they’re all cute..."

Seeing Lin Jifeng twisting and turning like a juggling monkey, she almost knocked her legs and twisted her arms to look far away, imitating the Monkey King in the play, Daiyu couldn't help laughing through tears: "...Brother, Monkey...it's not as funny as you..."
