The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Besides, after Daiyu returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she saw Zijuan coming out and asked, "Where did the girl go? Why did it take you so long to come back?" Worried, I went back: "I went to Sister Feng's place, and I forgot the time when I spoke, which made my sister Zijuan worry." Knowing that something must have happened to Daiyu, she felt sorry for her daughter's difficulties, but she also knew that there was no need to say anything at this time, so she just helped Daiyu into the room and smiled: "Girl, while you are not here, slaves and mother Wang I learned to cook some porridge with red dates and white fungus for you, and now Xueyan cooks for you every day, how about you try the Bixueyan that the servant made today?" He said and went to the small kitchen next to him to serve the porridge , Daiyu felt warm in her heart, thinking: Although her relatives are not good to her, there are people around her who have been caring about her. Parents, they are also the ones who can't forget when they are dying, and they can't let the people who care about them down.

Daiyu thought about it, and felt better. At this time, Zijuan brought porridge, and Wang Momo came with her. Daiyu said, "Mom, sister Zijuan, you and Xueyan will eat with me." Mammy didn't refuse, she served one bowl for Daiyu, and then three bowls for Xueyan to come and eat together.Daiyu tasted it and praised: "Sister Zijuan, this porridge is really good. It is sweet and delicious, and it melts in the mouth. It is not different from that made by snow geese." Zijuan laughed and said: "Since the girl likes to eat, eat more Some, this is the method that Xueyan taught me, and I dare not take credit for it being taught by Mother Wang herself.” Xueyan smiled and said: “Sister Zijuan said that, it makes me feel ashamed, every time I make something good I always want to tell the girl that I did it, so that the girl can praise me, and I feel so guilty that you did not take credit for making such a delicious porridge." Daiyu watched the two of them playing around and finished a bowl of porridge without realizing it The two girls, Zijuan and Xueyan, were very happy. They were laughing and making noises so that Daiyu could eat more, and now they were happy with the results, so they added another half bowl of porridge for Daiyu.Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister Zijuan, you and Mother Xueyan Wang are my relatives, it's great to have you by my side." Zijuan has been by Daiyu's side for a long time and knows that Daiyu is her true love A person of perfect nature, he is not pretentious at the moment and only said that since the girl is relatives, we should also listen to our words and eat more food to make the body better.Daiyu replied, "Okay, Sister Zijuan, I'll just listen to you."

The four masters and servants sat in the room chatting after eating porridge, Daiyu thought about what Sister Feng said during the day, and pondered silently.After a long while, Madam Wang, Zijuan and Xueyan followed her into the bedroom. The two of them knew that Daiyu had something to say, so they hurriedly followed in.Sure enough, after Daiyu sat down, she asked the three of them to sit down and asked, "Sister Zijuan, if I want to go back to the south, do you want to go with me?" The affection that usually treated her hurriedly said: "Zijuan naturally follows the girl." Daiyu said: "If I go back, I may not come back again. Sister Zijuan, you should think about it." Zijuan said: " Since the girl entered the mansion, Zijuan followed the girl. The girl treated the slaves better than her own sisters. The little sisters who entered the mansion with the slaves, Qingwen played chess, Qianxue was kicked out. Worrying and fearing every day counts as slaves being the best. The girl not only treats the slaves well, but also gives the slaves money to cure my father and mother. My parents often say that although we are born in Jia’s family, our lives belong to the girl. Mother asked Zicuckoo to follow the girl well, and Zicuckoo will go wherever the girl goes."

After hearing Zijuan's words, Daiyu was moved and said with a smile: "In that case, I will take your family's slaves from Sister Feng some other day. Who else is there in Zijuan's family besides you and your parents?" Said: "My parents only gave birth to me, but I have a cousin, who originally belonged to my second uncle's family. My second uncle and second aunt are gone. I have lived in my house since I was a child, and treated my parents very well. One year older than me, just seventeen this year, because I know a little bit of writing, I followed Lian Erye to collect rent and so on."

Daiyu said: "In this case, I will also come with your cousin's slave status." Zijuan said: "Slaves are naturally happy, but will the Jia family agree?" Daiyu said with a smile: "Now it is Sister Feng It's natural to be the head of the family." Madam Wang, Zijuan and Xueyan are very happy that they have been together every day for the past seven years, and they are like family members.But I heard Daiyu say again: "Sister Feng told me today that when my father left, Lian's second brother took some money from my father. He wrote a receipt at that time. I think my father left it for me. Let's look for it carefully. Maybe there will be some money in the future." It's very useful, but you have to look for it quietly and don't make a fuss.

Zijuan froze for a moment, then thought it was a good thing for her daughter, and hurriedly went to look for it with Xueyan.After Daiyu talked a lot, she felt tired, so she leaned on the bed, and Mother Wang was busy getting Daiyu a pillow to cushion her back.Hearing that Zijuan and Xueyan went to the study outside, they closed the bedrooms.Daiyu thought that Mother Wang was afraid that she would be exposed to the wind, but she saw that Mother Wang took out a pouch from her clothes, and when she opened it, it turned out to be a cloth bag. Mother Wang handed the bag to Daiyu, who took it After looking at it, I remembered that this was the first purse I made when I was a child. There was only a small grass embroidered crookedly on it. It was a gift for my father when I was three years old. At that time, my father was very happy and hugged me. , causing his mother to laugh at him, hugging his little brother and watching from the side, how happy the family of four was at that time.It's just that now I'm the only one left.Tears flowed down unknowingly. Seeing Daiyu crying, Wang Momo felt very sad. Her young lady's life was so miserable. She was afraid that Daiyu would be sad and said: "Miss, this is given to me by the master when he left. I will give it to you when you grow up. He only said that if the girl can be with the second master Bao, I will give it to you when you get married. If not, I will give it to you when you want to leave Jia’s mansion. With that, I can finally complete what the master entrusted."

Daiyu opened her purse, and there was indeed a letter inside. Daiyu hurriedly took it out and only glanced at the envelope, she knew it was from her father. Because there were two bamboo leaves painted on the envelope, it was Daiyu's first visit to Jia's mansion. I made envelopes for my father, with bamboo leaves drawn on each envelope, I only hope that my father can write more letters to me, and my father really wrote a letter to himself in a few days, before he knew he was seriously ill.Looking at the familiar envelope, Daiyu burst into tears.On the envelope was written Dai'er's own words, Daiyu hurriedly opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper, but it was written by her father, and it wrote: "Dai'er, you must be a big girl when you read the letter. My Dai'er must have grown into a great beauty, just like your mother. Dai'er, although your parents are no longer by your side, we are not far away from you. Both parents are looking forward to your happiness. Our Lin family has always been Poetry and book heirs, the family is very rich, but at that time Jia's family was asking for marriage, and you were very close to Baoyu, so your father entrusted part of the family property to Jia's family, hoping that they would treat you well. He was also worried that you would be deceived, so he concealed it I left most of my property and left it to you for living. In the envelope is the receipt when I gave the money to Jia’s house. If Jia’s house is sorry for my Dai’er, Dai’er can get it back with the receipt. In addition, in your mother’s jewelry box There is a mezzanine, you insert the jade hairpin that your father gave you when he left, and insert it into the small hole at the bottom of the box. The mezzanine opens automatically, and the silver notes inside are the dowry prepared by your father and mother. How many shops are there in the Lin family? You can ask Wang Mo about them Don't let this matter go to Jia's house before you only let Wang Momo know, someone will pick you up when Dai'er is old. And Dai'er is the daughter of the Lin family, so don't forget the Lin family style. Dai'er's It’s up to you to make up your own mind about the marriage, don’t feel wronged. Daiyu was crying when she saw this, as if her father appeared in front of her and played with her like she did when she was a child
