Daiyu went into the warehouse, and there were small compartments inside. Daiyu entered a small compartment, and inside were jars, neatly arranged. There were labels on the jars, and there were fruit wines of various colors. Grain wine made from grain, as well as various medicinal wines.

Daiyu searched inside for a long time, and finally found a jar of Changchun wine, mainly composed of dogwood, Morinda officinalis, Shichangpu, Digupi, raspberry, medlar, dodder, Cistanche, Baiziren, Schisandra, rehmannia, yam , Achyranthes bidentata, Eucommia ulmoides, Poria cocos, ginseng, woody fragrance, Chuanjiao, Alisma, polygala, asparagus, Radix Ophiopogon and other medicinal materials plus good grain wine soaking, the main effect is to nourish the liver and kidney, fill the essence, and replenish qi The effect of blood is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people who suffer from weakness of the waist and knees, fatigue and weakness of the body, and lack of energy and spirit due to liver and kidney deficiency and insufficient qi and blood.Insomnia, forgetfulness, and loss of appetite.

Daiyu felt that Lin Ruhai was a little too old, and being an official was exhausting his mind and body, and he had been on the road recently, so he needed to make up for it, so he wanted to come to the warehouse he entered when he was wandering around when he first opened the space.There is a wine cellar inside, all kinds of wine, Daiyu doesn't understand wine, but there are labels on the jars.

Daiyu took a jar of Changchun wine, and went to the next room to get a jar of jam, preparing to spread bread for Qingyu tomorrow.After everything was ready, Daiyu returned to the bamboo building.The room in the main building was as bright as daylight under the light of Ye Mingzhu. It turned out that Ye Mingzhu was covered with a layer of tulle, but Daiyu thought his wife was too dark, so Ye Mingzhu regained her true appearance.

Daiyu went into the room, put the things on the table outside, and went into the back room.Daiyu washed the catkins.Daiyu was a very fat girl in her previous life, and due to financial problems and lack of time for maintenance, she made it a little rough. Here, Lin Daiyu is a beauty herself, with flowers as her appearance, birds as her voice, and the moon as her god , with jade as the bone, ice and snow as the skin, autumn water as the posture, and poetry as the heart.Two curved eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy.Two dimples are born in the state of worry, and the disease of being delicate is attacked all over the body.Tears dripped, panting slightly.When you are quiet, you are like a beautiful flower shining in the water, and when you are in action, you are like a weak willow supporting the wind.

After Daiyu came, she paid attention to maintenance, so she took care of it very well. Although she is still young, she can already see the signs of beauty.

Daiyu washed her hands, picked up the half-made blue gown, and leaned on the couch to make it.

Daiyu finally finished the last few stitches, looked up at the Western clock, it was past eleven o'clock outside.Daiyu closed her needles, opened the clothes for a look, folded them and put them on the footboard, then buried herself in the pile of pillows on the bed, and started a day's rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Daiyu woke up from her dream and stared blankly at the roof.After a while, Daiyu got up.Turning around and coming out of the space, she called the maid to come in and wait for her to wash.

Lin Ruhai slept well yesterday. After so many years, the two children finally returned to her side, and the family was finally reunited.Coupled with the fact that he was very tired from traveling these days, Lin Ruhai had no dreams this night and slept very soundly.

When Lin Ruhai entered the dining room, he found that Daiyu and Qingyu were already ready and waiting for him, and breakfast was already set on the table.Lin Ruhai knew at a glance that it was Daiyu who made it. She and Qingyu prepared pear custard, and Daiyu herself had a bowl of almond milk, and each had a bowl of steamed eggs.There are also preserved egg and lean meat porridge and red dates and white fungus porridge on the table.A few drawers of steamed buns, six milky steamed buns, three shredded coconut bread and a few rice balls with bacon and spinach, and four small dishes of pickles. Deviled Ginger and Radish Peel.

The three members of Daiyu's family had a warm breakfast, and Lin Ruhai went back to court to report on his duties.Daiyu took Qingyu to the study for a while, and then asked Qingyu to write big characters by herself, while Daiyu sat on the couch and began to embroider the handkerchief for herself.An orchid is embroidered on a silk brocade handkerchief. Although the orchid is only half embroidered, it can already be seen that the stitching is fine, the color is elegant, the pattern is beautiful, and the concept is clever. It is typical of Suzhou embroidery, which is flat, even, harmonious, Light, smooth, uniform, lifelike, fine and even lines, very delicate.

The whole morning passed like this, and at noon, Daiyu asked the servant to accompany Qingyu out to play for a while, while she went into the kitchen again.Prepared a lunch for myself and Qingyu.After lunch, Daiyu accompanied Qingyu to take a nap for a while to recharge her energy.

Daiyu got up and changed into a light pink coat with a pair of butterflies playing flowers, and a peach-colored brocade embroidered with finely divided plum blossoms on the collar. Embellished with pearls on the face, and then braided, it looks lovely and bright.Looking at the beauty in the mirror, Daiyu immediately felt better.

In the afternoon, Daiyu was practicing piano in her room. Lin Ruhai not only brought gifts for colleagues, old friends, and relatives, but also brought servants and piano and chess teachers for Daiyu, and invited Qingyu He gave a lesson in martial arts.Yesterday, Daiyu had already discussed with Lin Ruhai, since she has little knowledge and Lin Ruhai is busy, no one has time to teach Qingyu, so it is better to invite a teacher to come.Lin Ruhai thought it made sense, so he planned to ask a few old friends in the capital for a few days, and let Daiyu teach Qingyu first, anyway, Daiyu's knowledge is not bad.

But Daiyu handed in Qingyu in the morning, and took turns to learn how to play the piano and chess every afternoon. Daiyu wanted to learn to dance, but in this society, dancing has never been something that a serious woman should learn, so Daiyu had to give up regretfully.

It was only yesterday that Lin Ruhai took Daiyu and Qingyu to meet several instructors first, and then decided that this afternoon Daiyu would learn to play the piano first, while Qingyu would practice martial arts with the martial arts master.In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus were in power, and the predecessor of the Manchus was the Jurchens, a nomadic, fishing and hunting nation. They won mountains and rivers on horseback, advocating strength and martial arts.

Qingyu was born in such a family, so she was doomed to either follow the road of imperial examination high school like Lin Ruhai, or gallop on the battlefield and guard the frontiers, in order to preserve the glory of the Lin family. Although Lin Ruhai is indifferent to fame and fortune, the glory of the Lin family cannot be destroyed here.

Although Daiyu comforted herself by saying that Qingyu was still young and it was the first day, the instructor would not be too strict with Qingyu, but Daiyu was still worried and made mistakes all the time.The teacher who taught Daiyu to play the piano was a woman, very talented, and loved the piano like a madman, so she asked Daiyu to call him Mrs. Qin.

She is very gentle, but she is not gentle at all when teaching the piano.When Daiyu was distracted, Mrs. Qin raised the ruler in her hand and took the hand of Xuelu who was standing beside her. After two slaps, the ruler stopped.I heard Mrs. Qin say: "Gege, please concentrate. You need to concentrate on learning the piano, otherwise you will not be able to enter the realm. And if the lady makes a mistake, those maids will be punished. After all, the lady is a rich girl, and if you hurt your hand, it will be very serious." It will affect the progress. I hope Miss can concentrate more."

Daiyu listened to the words, got up and saluted quickly: "Student knows his mistake, Mrs. Wangqin Haihan, Daiyu won't do it next time." "Miss, please sit down, let's continue the lecture."

It was the first time Daiyu felt the rigor of the ancient system. The master made a mistake, and the servant was about to come out and be punished. Thinking of this, Daiyu shivered in fright.

Daiyu was busy studying and taking care of Qingyu and Lin Ruhai's life every day. In a blink of an eye, summer passed, and autumn came slowly. The weather became cooler every day, as if to tell people that summer had passed and autumn had begun.With the arrival of the autumn wind, the color of the leaves of the trees is constantly changing to adapt to the changes in the environment, gradually turning red, and then, the leaves begin to fall.

Daiyu has learned how to house the house since she was a child. Recently, when she saw autumn, she asked her to hand out the cotton clothes for her servants, and asked Nanny Wang to take a few bolts of fabric from the warehouse to make winter clothes for Lin Ruhai and Qingyu.From the selection of fabrics, tailoring, and sewing, Daiyu does it herself, and does not rely on others.

What Lin Ruhai prepared was a set of fine silk cotton gowns embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns in azure blue after rain, with lining of the same color inside, but without patterns, and a sapphire blue river silk mink fur gown.For sapphire, there is a set of fine red silk cotton gowns embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and a river silk fox girdle leather gown of the same color.The cuffs and necklines of both dresses are trimmed with white fringe for a lovely look.

After Daiyu prepared the cotton-padded clothes, she began to gather vegetables for winter. Although the Lin family was considered a rich family, there were not so many vegetables in winter. So a little green.

Daiyu asked Zhuangzi to start the greenhouse project last year, which is to dig a few cave-like houses, grow vegetables in them, make the walls thin, and burn stoves in the rooms around the cave to maintain the cave at a suitable temperature, so that vegetables can grow.It's just that last year was the first year, and the output was extremely low, and Daiyu and Qingyu lived in Jia's house, so there were many inconveniences.In the second year, the output was much better, but it still couldn't supply all the food and drink for the Lin family's family of three throughout the winter.

Daiyu asked the comprador's mother-in-law to buy a lot of fruits of various colors, mixed with fruits from her own space, and it was a huge pile.Ask the cook to take the maids to clean all the fruits, and then peel the skins that should be peeled, and dig the cores that should be cored.After the preparation, cut the large pieces of fruit into small pieces, put them in a pot under cold water, add more water, and cook them.Bring the pot to a low heat.Add a large amount of rock sugar, after all melted, add the cut fruit and simmer on low heat until the fruit is ripe, then turn off the heat, weigh it out, let it cool, add good honey, pour it into a jar, and seal it for storage.

Daiyu took out the flour in her own space, kneaded the dough, kneaded it into an expanded state, and proofed; rolled the dough into a plate size, put it in the plate, and pierced the eyes with a fork; proofed for another 20 minutes; The finished pizza sauce is brushed on the dough, and a layer of fruit is spread evenly; finally, a layer of cheese is sprinkled; finally, it is served in Daiyu's homemade large oven.Daiyu made it very successfully the first time, and Daiyu finally made that pizza a part of the main course of dinner.Lin Ruhai tasted some symbolically, but Qingyu liked it very much, but Daiyu dared not let him eat more.It made Qingyu's little mouth pout, and in the end Daiyu agreed to do it later, so she coaxed it.

Daiyu prepared many kinds of winter vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, white radish, green radish, Bian radish (carrot), water radish and carrot, pumpkin, potato, wax gourd, green onion, etc. Store in dug cellars.I also asked the cook to pickle a lot of pickled vegetables, such as Beijing's water lumps, Tianjin's Jindong vegetables, Baoding's spring old vegetables, pepper cucumbers, eight-treasure vegetables in sauce, lettuce in sauce, pickled spicy eggplant sticks, spicy cabbage, etc. The cook saved up two jars of sauerkraut for later use.

Daiyu looked at the things prepared for the winter and was very satisfied. This year is the first new year for a family of three to reunite, and they must be prepared. Daiyu showed a confident smile.
