The Red Mansion Becomes Lin Daiyu
Chapter 47
Ever since Lin Daiyu brought out the modern playing cards, the maids in Yuyuan have been playing like crazy these days.Not only that, as Lin Daiyu expected, this simple, fun and inexpensive game quickly became popular in the Lin Mansion.Even the mothers-in-law at home fell in love with this game. In addition to the games such as fighting bandits and running fast that Lin Daiyu mentioned at the beginning, everyone invented many new game types in just one month, many of which are similar to modern games. The poker game has the same purpose, really have to admire human intelligence and imitation ability!
It is also understandable for the prevalence of cards in the Lin Mansion during this period. When people first come into contact with a new thing, it is inevitable that they will be addicted to it. After the initial addiction period, they will find it boring.Lin Daiyu, who has experienced all kinds of entertainment in modern times, is certainly not attracted to those poker games now, it is just a game when she is bored, and if she indulges in it, wouldn’t the gain outweigh the loss?
At this moment, Lin Daiyu was watching Honglian and the others tidy up the room. Hu Xiaodie's family had arrived in the capital a few days ago, and yesterday they sent someone to send a post saying that Master Hu would come to visit her father today, and Hu Xiaodie would also come with her.After hearing the news, Honglian said that she would clean up Yuyuan, and said that she must not lose face in front of outsiders.
Lin Daiyu is noncommittal about this, they are also idle when they are idle, so clean up if you want to clean up!But who would have thought that the clean-up mentioned by Honglian would be on such a large scale, it would be necessary to tidy up Yuyuan from the inside to the outside.Obviously it was almost packed yesterday, and it was still early this morning.Lin Daiyu only realized at this moment that Honglian is still a picky character. She looks very good, but how can Honglian pick out many faults in the decoration of the room? According to this trend, can't she deal with the guests? ?
After talking about it several times, Honglian didn't listen, so Lin Daiyu simply stopped talking, and sat on the recliner in the yard to read her book. As for the inside, let them toss about it!
Lying leisurely on the recliner, with the gentle breeze blowing on her face, bringing cool warmth, Lin Daiyu fell asleep after a while.While in a trance, I heard a voice shouting: "Miss, get up quickly, Miss Hu has already entered the second gate!" Honglian, who was used to the address in the capital, naturally called Hu Xiaodie Miss Hu.
"Ah, so soon?" Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes in a daze and asked in a daze.
Honglian froze for a moment, the girl probably didn't know how tempting her sleepy-eyed look was, the black eyeballs carried a deep attraction, thanks to the fact that she was a woman, if she was a man, she wouldn't be able to fall into it ah!
"Hehe, the girl has been lying down for more than half an hour, so it's not surprising that Miss Hu is here now!"
"Ah, so it's been so long, send someone to greet her right away!" Lin Daiyu fell asleep because she was bored, but now she's sober after hearing Honglian's words.
Seeing Lin Daiyu's reaction, Hong Lian couldn't help but chuckled, and while tidying Lin Daiyu's clothes, she said, "I have sent someone to pick it up, and it should be here soon."
As soon as Honglian finished speaking, she saw a girl wearing a light red gown and a long hairpin skirt rushing over through the semi-circular doorway, her face was full of joy, and she said with a smile: "Sister Daiyu, finally I see you!" Said and walked over to give Lin Daiyu a big bear hug.
This Hu Xiaodie is still so...uh, enthusiastic!Breaking free from Hu Xiaodie's grasp, Lin Daiyu took a closer look at her, and sure enough, she looked a lot more refined, and the chubby baby fat on her face also faded away, bringing on the girl's unique sharpness. Although 12-year-old Hu Xiaodie cannot be said to be extremely beautiful, it is not an exaggeration to be called Xiaojiabiyu.
"Hehe, sister Daiyu doesn't recognize me anymore? My mother said that after losing weight, I look much better than before."
"Well, sister Xiaodie looks much better!" Lin Daiyu said with certainty, Hu Xiaodie's temper is still so straightforward, and she doesn't know if it will be good or bad to marry in the future!
"Really?" Hu Xiaodie excitedly took Lin Daiyu's hand and asked, as if Lin Daiyu had affirmed that she was the most beautiful woman in the world.Looking at the hopeful eyes in front of her eyes, Lin Daiyu nodded affirmatively.Sure enough, Hu Xiaodie's face brightened, but after looking at Lin Daiyu for a while, she pulled her face down again.
"What's the matter, Sister Xiaodie?" Lin Daiyu was puzzled, wasn't she very happy just now, why did she pull her face down after glancing at herself, and she didn't say anything to offend her, right?
"Having said that, but sister Daiyu is so beautiful, I'm still far behind you..." Said Lin Daiyu at the end even saw that she had a sad look on her face.
Uh, it's wrong to co-author myself to be prettier than her, and it's really hard to understand the thinking of children.
"Who said, Sister Xiaodie is already a little beauty, and I have met few people who are comparable to my sister, so why should my sister belittle herself?"
"Really, so I'm still pretty?" Hu Xiaodie asked again suddenly.
"Of course, Sister Xiaodie was born with a good and beautiful background. I wonder how many people envy her?" Lin Daiyu said, Hu Xiaodie was really a strange thing in ancient times, and she was well protected. She is still so innocent even at the age of 12. , it is rare!However, in ancient times, women usually got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and some were as early as twelve or thirteen. Didn't Madam Cui teach Hu Xiaodie some small ways to survive in the backyard?Lin Daiyu doesn't believe that she will let her daughter be innocent forever!Maybe she has already taught it, but Hu Xiaodie is used to showing her true nature in front of her.
"Hehe, sister Daiyu, I'm ashamed to say that!"
Lin Daiyu laughed, you still know you are embarrassed!
"Okay, Sister Xiaodie, you are tired of working on the sedan chair for so long, so go inside and have a rest!"
"Okay, I just want to see sister Daiyu's room?" She said happily and pulled Lin Daiyu to enter the room, and she looked like a servant girl clicking her tongue, she didn't treat herself as an outsider!
Lin Daiyu hurriedly turned her head and said to Honglian: "Take sister Xiaodie's maid to the side room to rest for a while!"
"Yes." Honglian replied, and said to Hu Xiaodie's maid: "Sisters, please come with me!"
When Hu Xiaodie came to the room, she still refused to stop, she kept looking at the decorations in the room, and said a few words of admiration.
"Sister Daiyu, your room is so beautiful, and so is the yard." Then she exclaimed again: "Ah, is that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy?"
Lin Daiyu glanced in the direction of her finger, and said calmly: "Yes"
Hu Xiaodie was dissatisfied, and muttered, "That's the calligraphy of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi, you hang it outside so casually, and you're not afraid of losing it!"
Lin Daiyu was stunned. Can she tell me that she still has a lot in the cabinet? The Eighth Prince would send some things here from time to time. Apart from ancient books, there are also quite a few paintings and calligraphy.She knows about the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi, but no matter how precious they are, paintings and calligraphy are meant to be displayed, or put in a cabinet waiting to be fed to insects!
"Sister Xiaodie, don't worry, the guards in the Lin Mansion are still very good, and the theft should not happen. Besides, this is a gift from a friend, so of course it has to be displayed. It's not easy to let other people's gifts stay in the cabinet. Let's get dusty!" Lin Daiyu said, completely ignoring that many things sent by the Eighth Prince had piled up in the corner of the warehouse.
"That's good, that's good!" Hu Xiaodie patted her chest and asked again: "What kind of friend is it that you send such an expensive gift?"
At this time, if this scene was someone else, Lin Daiyu might be more careful, but Hu Xiaodie Lin Daiyu could see it accurately. Her innocence was not faked, and Lin Daiyu still had the ability to know people.This little girl is really curious!
"It's a friend I met after I came to Beijing. Sister Xiaodie didn't know it. Don't talk about irrelevant things. Sister Xiaodie, eat some fruit!" Lin Daiyu said hurriedly when she saw the servant girl brought a plate of fruit.
"Sister Daiyu, then I won't be polite. Your fruit is big and good in color. You can tell it's delicious at first glance!" He said, picking a piece of cut fruit and putting it into his mouth.
Lin Daiyu carefully observed her actions, and saw that after the fruit entered her mouth, Hu Xiaodie's eyes widened in surprise, she subconsciously chewed it a few times, and then her face was full of disbelief.Heh, seeing Hu Xiaodie's constantly changing expression, Lin Daiyu couldn't help chuckling.She is confident in the fruit of the space, and Hu Xiaodie is a foodie, so it was beyond Lin Daiyu's expectation that she jumped up in surprise.
Before Lin Daiyu finished feeling, Hu Xiaodie pulled Lin Daiyu's arm excitedly and said, "Sister Daiyu, where did you buy your fruit? It's so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious fruit." !"
Lin Daiyu pushed Hu Xiaodie away from Hu Xiaodie's hand, calmly arranged the wrinkled clothes by her, and waited until Hu Xiaodie was about to scratch her ears and cheeks in a hurry before slowly opening her mouth: "I didn't buy this, it's our own." They are planted in Zhuangzi." Seeing Hu Xiaodie's dejected face, Lin Daiyu changed the subject and said, "But if Sister Xiaodie likes it, I can send some regularly when Sister Xiaodie is in the capital!
After hearing this, Hu Xiaodie changed her decadence and said, "Then thank you, sister Daiyu, my father said that this time he plans to stay in the capital, so that I can often eat delicious fruits!"
"Master Hu wants to stay in the capital, are you sure?" Lin Daiyu asked. There are so many nobles and relatives in the capital, and Mr. Hu is really inconspicuous as a fourth-rank official. Besides, he has the support of four major families in Yangzhou City. It's really nothing to do in the capital. As for the relationship, even if you can stay, you are a small official with little real power, and you have to watch people's faces all day long. Why don't you go to the state government to be an official with real power?Mr. Hu should not have missed this point!
"That's what my father said. Now I have started to rely on my relationship to prepare for staying in Beijing. Isn't my little brother going to take the imperial examination? My father said that staying in the capital is convenient for him to take care of him, and he will develop in the capital for a few years and accumulate some connections. Yes. My two elder brothers are also beneficial." Hu Xiaodie said.
Lin Daiyu understood, and it made sense. Parents always make selfless sacrifices for their children, except for some weird parents.Hu Xiaodie was really outspoken in front of her, seeing what she said was so logical, it wasn't that she had no scheming at all!
It is also understandable for the prevalence of cards in the Lin Mansion during this period. When people first come into contact with a new thing, it is inevitable that they will be addicted to it. After the initial addiction period, they will find it boring.Lin Daiyu, who has experienced all kinds of entertainment in modern times, is certainly not attracted to those poker games now, it is just a game when she is bored, and if she indulges in it, wouldn’t the gain outweigh the loss?
