Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

In the early morning of the fifth day of June, Lin Ping, who had been rushing all the way, finally arrived at the wharf in the capital, and hurriedly went ashore to load the car, blowing and beating all the way, and delivered the betrothal gift to Cheng'en Gong's mansion.

Duke Cheng'en's mansion had already received the letter, and opened the middle door to welcome him. Lin Ping's family respectfully presented the betrothal gift.

Although Mrs. Bai knew that Lin's family was well-off, and that the Duke of the State was married to a second-rank official, the dowry gift would not be cheap, but she never expected it to be so generous.

And because the road from Yangzhou to the capital is far away, the pigs and sheep are solid pigs and lambs made of gold, and there is a pair of pure gold geese as big as real geese.

Seeing that Lin Ping's family was also very dignified and decent standing there, he knew that she was a housekeeper lady who was useful, and he felt a little more satisfied in his heart.

Mrs. Bai offered her a seat, and asked a few more words about the cold and warm journey.After all, I didn't have any friendship before, so I only asked some polite words.

Because they asked if the basic necessities of life could be arranged, Lin Ping's family said that there was an old house in Beijing, which had been tidied up and used as a place to stay in Beijing.

Mrs. Bai then asked how the girl in the family was doing, and said that Wen Jiao rashly invited the imperial physician to treat Miss Lin, and hoped that the Lin family would not blame her.Lin Ping's family was taken aback, and hurriedly thanked Yunyun.

After a few more pleasantries, Mrs. Bai sent the person out.

Cheng En Gong's Mansion also prepared the woman's return gift early and handed it over to the people of the Lin family. In the return gift, there is also a suit of clothes, shoes, socks, purse and fan cover made by Wen Jiao himself for Lin Hai, which is the most important thing.

When Lin Ping's family returned to the Lin Mansion, they first carefully filed and put away the woman's return gift, and then arranged all the things that their master brought to the girl one by one, and then prepared the gift for going to Jia's Mansion tomorrow.

Lin Ping and his wife came here, apart from the most important matter of giving the dowry, there are several other things, the most important thing is to see how the girl at home is doing, and to send letters to Lin Hai's old colleagues in Beijing, etc. The schedule is also arranged Very compact.

Therefore, after a good night's sleep that night, Lin Ping and Lin Ping's family brought their things early the next day and knocked on the door of Jia's mansion.

Daiyu learned yesterday that her boat had arrived in the capital, she didn't sleep well all night, she just waited for someone from home to come to her door today.

When she saw Lin Ping's family and the three servants accompanying her, she couldn't help but shed tears again, she stood up and called, "Mother Xu."

It turned out that Lin Ping's family was the daughter of Lin Hai's wet nurse. She married Chang Sui, who was next to Lin Hai, and became the housekeeper's wife. Daiyu often saw Mrs. Zheng at Jia Min's place when she was young.

Jia Min also got along with two masters and servants, Nanny Xu, so Nanny Xu loved Daiyu very much.

Today it has been more than half a year since we parted with Daiyu, and Nanny Xu misses Daiyu very much, so she kowtows to Mother Jia first, then takes Daiyu's hand and looks at her carefully.

Seeing that my young lady has grown taller, and her complexion has become ruddy compared to that at home, I can't help letting go of my heart, and the eye sockets are also moist, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that Rongguo Mansion supports people with water and soil, and I haven't seen young lady for half a year. , Miss has grown a lot taller, and she is more beautiful than at home."

When Mother Jia saw the person from the Lin family, she thought about the purpose of the person from the Lin family. It was spread all over the capital. .Eye sockets were wet again.

Hearing Daiyu's address, and seeing Madam Xu's extraordinary demeanor, she knew that she was the housekeeper's wife that Lin's family had to use.

Mother Jia wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It's too polite to support people and not to support others. Our Yu'er was born like this, and we can't bury her no matter where. Is it okay to come this way? Did you encounter anything on the way?" On the one hand, he gave him a seat.

Mother Xu waited for the answer, said some polite words, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that the old lady will be annoyed, because our master misses Miss very much in the south, so let me take the liberty to see where the girl lives. It’s easy to learn from the master when I go back.”

Jia Mu smiled and said, "That's what it should be. When I first came last year, Daiyu and I lived in the Bisha closet. We moved the room in Kaichun, and now we live in the wing room over there. Daiyu, you take this Mammy, let's go."

Daiyu got up to answer, and knew that it was Nanny Xu who had something to say to her in private, so she led Nanny Xu through the chashou corridor to the west wing room where she was currently living.

Mammy Xu saw that the three rooms were neatly arranged, and all the furniture and playthings were very expensive, but it could be seen that they had put their best effort into it, and there were a few items that looked like Jia Mu's long-standing care. .

The curtains and quilts are all made of high-quality materials, and they are as good as new, obviously after being used for a while.Xu Nanny swept her eyes and knew that Daiyu had not suffered any material mistreatment in Jia's house, so she nodded secretly in her heart.

Daiyu and Nanny Xu entered the room, and Zijuan hurriedly moved the embroidered stool for Nanny Xu to sit on, and served tea again.Nanny Xu sat down, took Daiyu's hand, and asked Zijuan with a smile, "Thank you. It's just that this girl looks unfamiliar, so I don't know how to address her?"

Zijuan replied: "I used to be by the old lady's side, called Brother Ying. Last year when the girl came, the old lady pointed me to the girl and changed my name to Zijuan."

Mother Xu smiled and said: "What a good character, he deserves to be the person next to the old lady." Then he asked: "I saw people coming and going in the wing room over there. I don't know if anyone in the house lives with the old lady." ?”

Zijuan replied: "Our second master Bao lives in the east wing."

Mother Xu laughed and said, "May I ask if this Second Master Bao is the one who was born with jade? I remember that he is a year older than our girl."

Zicuckoo replied: "Exactly."

Mother Xu said again: "I'm talking to our girl now, please go down and rest for a while."

Zicuckoo knew the opportunity and withdrew.

Seeing that Zijuan and the others had all gone down, Madam Xu asked Daiyu, "Girl, this Second Master Bao is also eight years old, and he has been living in the back house?"

Daiyu lowered her eyes and said, "Grandmother and aunt have always loved Baoyu."

Hearing this, Mother Xu sighed and said, "It's not that I'm talking behind my back. Eight years old can't be big, and it can't be small."

"It's fine if he's a real sister in his family. We're aunts and sisters with her. Men and women have different sex at the age of seven. If it's been like this all the time, if word spreads that he's still messing around behind the scenes at such an age, won't it damage the girl's reputation?"

Daiyu bowed her head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Mother Xu felt very distressed, she held Daiyu in her arms, and said, "Girl, this time we are going to Beijing, the first thing is to give the Su family a betrothal gift."

"The second is that the master wants to ask the girl what she means: if the girl is willing to stay in Jia's mansion, she will stay in Jia's mansion. If she wants to go home, then the girl will go back to Yangzhou together."

Daiyu raised her head and listened to Madam Xu continue: "The master said that the girl was originally sent to Jia's mansion because she had no intention of remarrying, and she was afraid that she would have no one to raise her and no sisters and brothers to support her, so she was sent to Jia. The old lady Jia will take care of her on her behalf. When the time comes, the future of the girl will also look good."

"It's just that now that the Holy Majesty has granted the marriage and the girl has someone to educate her, she won't be afraid even if she goes home. But the master is also afraid that the girl will be worried, so he asked me to tell the girl that the girl can be anywhere she wants, it all depends on the girl's wish. "

Mother Xu sighed: "Originally, I selfishly wanted to persuade the girl to stay in Jia's mansion. To put it bluntly, the new wife is not her own after all, she is separated from her belly."

Daiyu's lips moved when she heard this, and when she was about to speak, Nanny Xu said again: "It's just that I've been in Jia's house for half a day, and I think it's better for the girl to go back."

"No matter how much you love the girl here, the girl is only a granddaughter, and she's not good enough. The girl has been thinking about it for a few days. The day before returning to Yangzhou, the old slave will come again. At that time, the girl just tells me. "

After hearing this, Daiyu finally shed tears, and Nanny Xu patted her lovingly to coax her.

After a while, I heard Daiyu ask: "How is daddy at home? When I left last year, daddy had a cough for more than half a year, and he never got better. He wrote letters and always said that everything was fine. Mammy told me the truth. .”

Mother Xu smiled and said: "It's already healed. It's spring this year, so it's going to be great. But girl, I saw that my body has improved a lot, and my face has become rosy. By the way, how did I hear that it was Miss Su Er Where is the imperial doctor for the girl? I'm confused."

Daiyu thought about it for a while, and said: "Give me a marriage decree. After three days, the palace sent someone to say that they want to take me into the palace. Grandma didn't worry about me, so she went with me."

"When we got to the palace, the Empress said that Elder Sister Yuanchun, who is a female historian in the palace, is waiting for my grandmother, so I will stay with Second Miss Su."

"Miss Su said that she saw that I was weak, so she invited the imperial doctor Jiang from the palace. She said that she often treated princes and princesses, and prescribed a medicine for my family to take."

Mother Xu listened intently, Daiyu smiled and said, "After taking this medicine, I feel a little looser and faster than the previous pills. After a month, Ms. Su took me into the palace again. Doctor Jiang also said that it was a bit uncomfortable after taking it. After seeing the effect, I changed another medicine, and I agreed to go to see it again in a month."

After hearing this, Nanny Xu laughed and said, "It's weird. What does the girl think of Second Miss Su?"

Daiyu looked up at Nanny Xu and said, "I was also suspicious at first, but Miss Su really treated me very well, thinking of me everywhere."

"I think, she is the younger sister of the empress, and I'm just a girl, even if it's not good, it won't hinder her."

"If you really want to harm me, why bother to ask the empress to allow me to enter the palace, and ask the imperial doctor to treat me?"

Seeing Daiyu's clear eyes, Xu Momo was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile, "Young lady has really grown up."

On the ninth day of June in the second year of Guangsheng, Daiyu stepped into the palace gate for the third time.

On the ninth day of April this year, she entered the palace for the first time full of apprehensions, but the woman she was secretly wary of used gentleness and patience to dispel her wariness and nervousness.

Entering the palace again on the [-]th day of May, she spent almost the happiest day in the capital.

But every time before leaving the palace, Daiyu could feel that woman's hesitation to speak, and her heart was not completely free of doubts.Let's talk to her today, Daiyu thought.

So what Wen Jiao saw was Daiyu who was hiding something in her heart at first glance, her eyes were bright, and she seemed a little nervous.

Wen Jiao just didn't know. After lunch, seeing Daiyu sip a dozen sips of tea in a row, she couldn't help but want to ask what was on Daiyu's mind. Daiyu finally said: "Miss Su, I have a question. Ask you."

"You are not related to me for no reason. Even if the imperial decree has been issued, I have no blood relationship with you. According to common sense, you should ignore me even if you ignore me. Why are you so kind to me?"

"Daiyu, since you asked, I will not hide it from you." Wen Jiao also made a decision: "The emperor not only gave me the background of a daughter of the Su family, but also married me as a wife of the Lin family, so I will take on the responsibility of the Su family. The responsibilities of a woman, and the responsibilities of Lin's wife."

"Lord Lin only has you as a daughter. If you have been fostered in Jia's house, people will inevitably say that my Su family is not kind, and it will also hinder the empress's reputation. Therefore, I want to take you back to Yangzhou together." Wen Jiao looked at her. Daiyu's eyes said.

"It's just that I know that you lost your mother when you were young. When you suddenly hear that your father is going to marry a new wife, you will inevitably feel uneasy, and you may not trust me."

"Although you are still young, I also want to respect your opinion, and I don't want to use my status to pressure you. Although I want to take you back together, I don't want to force you, and I don't want any misunderstanding between us."

"That's why I brought you into the palace a few times. I want you to know that I am not a treacherous person. Every time I wanted to ask you the first two times, I was afraid that you would think I had bad intentions, so I never asked. I didn't expect to be asked by you today. asked."

After hearing this, Daiyu lowered her head and took a deep breath, then raised her head and said, "Miss Su, my confusion has been resolved. No matter what the reason is, treat me well, I know, I won't make things difficult for you..."

Hearing this, Wen Jiao actually felt a little nervous, a bit like the feeling when he confessed to the male god of the university on WeChat and waited for the male god to reply.

Wen Jiao complained in his heart that this was such a silly metaphor, and at the same time saw Daiyu opened her mouth, and she said:

"I believe in you, and I am willing to go back to Yangzhou with you."

She is indeed my little goddess, Wen Jiao thought.She is smart, considerate, considerate, and knows how to reciprocate. If you treat her sincerely, she will also treat you sincerely, and she smiles so nicely at herself.

Who wouldn't like Daiyu like this?

The author has something to say: I found a bug. Zijuan was the same as Daiyu’s good sisters in the later stage. The age difference between the two should not be more than three years old, but Daiyu was only six or seven years old when she entered the mansion. Just find a ten-year-old maid to take care of Daiyu... Then Baoyu is seven or eight years old at this time, Xiren is two years older than her and is also ten years old, can a ten-year-old maid be a big maid?So there are quite a lot of age bugs.I can only write QAQ for the eight or nine-year-old Zicuckoo as a teenager.

At the end of writing this chapter, I actually felt that the mood at that time was a bit like confessing to my boyfriend hahahaha, maybe this is the charm of a goddess~
