The Red Mansion Becomes Lin Daiyu

A few days later, Lin Daiyu was practicing calligraphy in her room. Ever since seeing the Eighth Prince's handwriting has improved, the little bit of competitive heart in her heart has also been aroused.I thought to myself, he is not a few years older than myself, so why can he write so well.Just at the time when Lian devoted himself, a servant girl came to report the visit of the magistrate's wife, so I had to stop writing and send a servant girl to meet him.Because it was more formal to entertain guests, Lin Daiyu didn't let someone take her directly to her yard, but went to the living room in the inner courtyard, packed up and rushed over.

After the meeting, of course, a few pleasantries are indispensable. Lin Daiyu doesn't like to associate with these officials and wives because of this. You said that the two people who didn't know each other before had to put on an affectionate look, and it was awkward to watch.What's more, with her current cultivation base, she can perceive who is sincere and who is fake as soon as she approaches.She really can't be natural when facing people who don't like her but still smile all over her face!The magistrate's wife pulled Lin Daiyu to praise her for a while, and explained the reason why she only came to visit now.Lin Daiyu knew that the magistrate's wife didn't have any good intentions when she came to see her, and she couldn't feel any good emotions from her, so she felt a little impatient and lost the mood to talk.He only seemed to be listening carefully, nodding his head from time to time to echo a few words, neither enthusiastic nor too cold.

The magistrate's wife only thinks of Lin Daiyu as a child, and she feels shy when she suddenly sees outsiders.Take the initiative to talk about topics that children like.He also said that there was a gift for Lin Daiyu, so he called the maid who was following him to come forward and took out an exquisite gold-painted box. The workmanship is very delicate, and it must have taken a lot of effort.You don't need to look at her to know that the things inside must be of great value. Does this Madam Zhifu really want to open the gap for her father from herself?If that was the case, then she was wrong.

Maybe many people outside think she is Dad's weakness. Yes, she may be the person Dad cares about most in this world, but she will not be a weakness, on the contrary, she will be a great help to Dad.If someone wants to use her to achieve the purpose of restricting Daddy, then it is really a big mistake, because this just touches Daddy's rebellious scales, not only will not be able to please, the result will only be worse!A few days ago, her father knew her determination to deal with the Jiangnan officials. The magistrate must bear the brunt of it, and she is probably in a hurry now!But what should come will always come. It is too late for them to do anything now. If Lin Daiyu said that the most sensible choice for them at the moment is to pack up their bags and run away, if they are lucky, they can save their lives.But this is obviously not their choice, because they are reluctant to part with the glory and wealth.Some people are just so ridiculous, they die on their own stupidity and greed.

The magistrate wanted Lin Daiyu to open it herself, but seeing her lack of interest, she had to do it herself.When the brocade box was opened, it turned out that there were some things like red hairpins and treasures, shining brightly against the sun, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance.The magistrate's wife asked Lin Daiyu if she liked it with a smile on her face.Lin Daiyu frowned unobtrusively, the magistrate's wife really treated her like a child!But can she make her wish, the answer is of course no.The so-called not getting paid for nothing, she can't live up to the truth, and finally she politely refused.Madam Zhifu saw that what Lin Daiyu said was sound, and she had no way to refute it. Besides, she was the daughter of a Shangguan. Lin Ruhai's official position was there, and she couldn't put her elders on the line, so she had to give up!

But still not reconciled, he talked about the maid again.Although the prefect's wife didn't get a good face from Lin Daiyu, she didn't feel embarrassed, but said to Lin Daiyu kindly with a smile on her face, if those maids in the past were not satisfied, just tell her to let someone buy it again.She thought that Lin Daiyu was young and had no mother to teach her. Although she seemed to be doing things decently now, she was just trying to put on a facade, and she had no idea inside.The indifference to her at the beginning must have been bewitched by the servant-in-law. Such a child usually longs for the love of the elders. As long as she puts on the kind face of the elders, the child will definitely feel the warmth of the family.

According to her understanding, such a child usually has a heart and soul for the person she recognizes, so she must win Lin Daiyu's favor. Master Lin only has such a precious daughter, and making friends with Miss Lin means loving Master Lin?There are many concubines in their family, and she has been sitting on the position of mistress for so many years, isn't it because she can help the master's career?A few days ago, I heard that Mrs. Lin lost her temper with the master. After returning home, the master has been trembling all the time. This time she came here to find out Miss Lin's tone, and she will have face in front of the master after returning.If Miss Lin could speak in front of Mr. Lin and mention the Master, then her position in the mansion would be more stable.

Now that she is old and decrepit, all those sluts in the inner courtyard are becoming restless, hum, trying to compete with her in vain, and they don't think about their own weight!What the master values ​​most is his official career. Only her wife has the opportunity to go out and visit the dignitaries. Those sluts only know how to be courteous in the inner courtyard, but they will never get ahead!Oh, I really thought that the master just doted on them, and it was just a novelty for a while. If they got tired of it, they would let them fend for themselves. Even if she did something, the master would not say anything. This is strength, and those foxes will always learn not!

She had a good plan, but she didn't know that Lin Daiyu was not what she thought at all, not to mention Lin Daiyu already knew what she was thinking.After a while of hypocrisy, I didn't even bother to perfunctory, and simply found an excuse to go to the back room to rest on the grounds that I was not feeling well, and only let an old nun and Honglian continue to receive.The prefect's wife felt bored and left after a while.

Honglian sent the prefect's wife out of the house, and when she came back and saw Lin Daiyu practicing calligraphy again, she reported that she had sent the prefect's wife out of the house, and Lin Daiyu nodded to show she knew.Hong Lian looked at the desk for a while, and said with a smile: "The girl's handwriting is getting better and better!"

Lin Daiyu laughed too. After writing the last point, she put the pen away and said, "Just compliment me, and I won't be afraid that others will hear the joke!"

"Miss, this servant is telling the truth, and the master also praised the girl for her handwriting. Although this servant has little knowledge, she has learned some elegant things after being with the girl for many years. The girl's handwriting is different from others. How should I say it? Look at it. There is a sense of heaviness in writing, not as impetuous as some people write. It has the feeling that the ancients said that the force penetrates the back of the paper and penetrates three points into the wood."

Lin Daiyu looked at her handwriting carefully again, and she really felt this way.It should also have something to do with her self-cultivation. When writing, sometimes she will unconsciously enter a state of ecstasy, and the aura will naturally leak out.The written words are much stronger, and there is some aura, which gives people a sense of strength and heroism. Although it is not as smooth as the dragon and snake race written by the Eighth Prince, it has a special charm.But if she really wants to compare calligraphy with others, she is cheating!Anyway, no one except dad knew about it, so she didn't have any psychological burden.Be careful in the future, a girl who writes such strong characters will inevitably cause doubts!But thinking about it, she just writes and writes for fun, and won't spread it to the outside world, so let nature take its course!

"Your observation skills are not bad. It really feels like this. I didn't even notice it myself?" Lin Daiyu laughed.

"What's so strange about this." Hong Lian said, "Young girl's writing is just for fun, so naturally she doesn't care about whether her handwriting is good or not, so she didn't pay attention. The servant girl waits on the girl all year round. If you read too much, you will see something. The doorway is here!"

"That's the same reason." Lin Daiyu nodded, "By the way, did Madam Zhifu say anything when she left?"

"Since the girl entered the inner room, Madam Zhifu's face has become ugly, but she didn't say anything bad to the servants. When sending them out of the house, the servants saw that Mama Cai was giving some guards to our house. The servants confiscated the money." Hong Lian said, she knew what the prefect's wife was up to, and she had seen a lot of people like this after following the girl these years, anyway, the girl would not let them go as she wished.

"Oh? She wants something from us, so naturally she has to be cautious, and you are all people around me, of course she dare not say anything harsh, even if she has any temper or dissatisfaction, she dare not express it in our house!" Thinking of this Lin Daiyu smiled, she was really curious about how the magistrate's wife would behave after she went back, why don't she use her spiritual sense to see today?It seems that she still thinks about coming again in the future!Even the little servant has taken care of it, so he thought about notifying him the next time he came.

This is also an unwritten rule in the mansions of many rich and powerful families. It can also be said to be an unspoken rule in modern times!If a person with a lower status wants to visit someone with a higher status, he has to pay the doormen, or they will not notify you or delay deliberately, and those who pay the money will be notified quickly.Think about you want to meet a big man, but that big man doesn't know that there is such a person who wants to see him, and you don't know, just waiting there, how depressing it is!Therefore, in order not to be in vain, everyone usually stuffs money for the gatekeeper. This gatekeeper is also a good job, and the money paid by one person's visit is worth a month's monthly money!

However, the Lin family does not like this rule.Both Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai hated this kind of unhealthy trend. They didn't care about other people's homes, but no matter who was in their own home, as long as they were found to be taking money, they would be kicked out with a [-]-year-old board.The magistrate's wife wanted to curry favor with her family, but she didn't even know this, so why not be deflated?

"Don't talk about these disappointing things, you go and get a few pieces of high-quality silk cloth, and I will write a few letters to Beijing!" Lin Daiyu said.

"Hey!" Honglian went out with a promise, and came in with a few pieces of high-quality white silk after a while.

This was prepared by Lin Daiyu a few days ago. After seeing Shui Rui's reply, she realized the benefits of writing on this kind of silk cloth, so she asked people to buy some high-quality silk cloth at the cloth shop for special use. write a letter.These few days, Sa Zi has almost played, and Jingli has fully recovered, making troubles in the space all day long, just to find something for him to do!

Honglian spread the silk cloth on the table, pressed it with a paperweight, and started grinding ink with the inkstone.Lin Daiyu contemplated for a while and then began to write in a fluttering manner. After finishing writing, she asked Honglian to hold it on the stove to dry.When Sa Zi was called, the little thing was still not happy, and after coaxing for a long time, he let the bamboo tube be tied awkwardly.Afterwards she acted coquettishly and refused to go, so Lin Daiyu had no choice but to scare it and said: If you don't go, you will return it to the Eighth Prince, so that you can be considered coaxed.Looking at Sa Zi's disappearing figure, Lin Daiyu shook her head and sighed: I dote on this little thing too much, and now I don't even listen to her words!
