[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 30 Letter from Yangzhou Linfu

This day, Jia Huan had just finished taking the medicated bath, Shi Mo was guarding the door, and he heard Baba come in to serve him. Jia Huan was finishing dressing, when he heard a servant calling again at the gate of the yard, he sent Shi Mo to ask the reason, and after a while , Shi Mo came in, lowered his head, and said, "Huan Geer Jia's mansion is here."

"Oh?" Jia Huan raised his eyebrows, thinking that he lived in Xue's residence for a few days. Jia's residence didn't think that he should have picked up Daiyu back earlier. He didn't expect to send someone to pick her up at this time. That's just the case. "But Second Master Bao is here?"

"No, it's the second master of the Jia family." Shi Mo thought for a while, and added: "Looking at the direction, it's going to the wife's yard, and he looks very hurried."

"It's interesting, let's have a look." Jia Huan casually let down her coiled long hair, which was not wet even after soaking in the medicated bath.

Shi Mo followed behind without saying a word, and the two of them went in after the maidservant at the gate of Zhenfuyuan reported.In the main hall, Jia Lian was sitting on a chair, his expression was wrong, and his brows were frowned. Jia Huan saluted Mrs. Xue, Shi Shi guarded the outside and did not let him in. As usual, Jia Huan was seated enthusiastically, and the living room was silent for a moment. Jia Huan also kept quiet when he saw it. Without the effort of a cup of tea, the maid outside opened the curtain and said crisply: "Mrs. Miss Lin is here." .”

Lin Daiyu greeted the door and came in. Xue Wang stood up with wet eyes, waved again and again, and said with pity: "Sit here, my good boy. Your second cousin Lian will send you a letter--" See Daiyu With a flowery and jade-like face, I couldn't help but sighed in my heart.

Seeing Daiyu, Jia Lian called out, with a dignified face, took out the opened envelope from his bosom and handed it to Daiyu, "This letter was only delivered to the mansion in the morning, the old ancestor read it and immediately asked me to come over to you. Cousin, don't be sad when you see her."

Seeing this situation, Baochai vaguely guessed that it might be about Daiyu's father in Yangzhou, so she walked a few steps to Daiyu's side, her brows furrowed, and she looked worriedly at Lin Daiyu who was reading a letter.

The letter was written by Lin Daiyu's father in Yangzhou Linfu to Jia's mother. After reading it, Jia's mother felt sorry for Daiyu and was afraid of delaying Daiyu's last look at Lin's father.After reading the letter, Lin Daiyu immediately shed tears, her pale face trembling slightly as she held the letter in her hand, choking with sobs and whispering repeatedly: "Father, father..."

Baochai supported Daiyu, who was about to cry, and followed Daiyu's back comfortingly. Daiyu cried until she was in tears. Well, she couldn't listen to persuasion, she just wanted to cry and cry, it's not good to hold it back, especially Sister Lin's temperament that is easy to hide her thoughts, holding it back will ruin her body.

"Cousin, don't cry. Uncle's letter only said that he is not in good health. He just wants to see his cousin. Maybe he misses his cousin too much, and he will be safe when he sees her body." Jia Lian comforted her.

Lin Daiyu wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She knew her father's temperament. If she hadn't been in bad health, she wouldn't have sent a letter urging her to go back. She blamed herself for not writing a letter to the mansion when she got here. Be by my father's side... I can't help crying while thinking about it.

Seeing Lin Daiyu who was about to faint from crying, Jia Huan couldn't help thinking about her previous life, and suddenly felt that both of them had been tricked by Jia's family. Thinking of the ending of Lin Daiyu vomiting blood and dying, and looking at the scene in front of her, she suddenly felt uncomfortable , stood up, and comforted him: "Sister, don't cry in a hurry, as Lian's second brother said, uncle probably misses her, and wants her to go back."

When Baochai saw that Daiyu was already panting from crying, she hurriedly said, "I'll accompany you to Jia's mansion to pack up and stay for two days."

Seeing this, Xue Wang sent Xue Qing a message, and said: "You send a car to take the girl to Jia's mansion, Zijuan Zichuan, you two go to pack the girl's clothes, Yu'er, don't worry, your body is important."

After busy work, half an hour later Baochai Daiyu and Jia Lian and Jia Huan went back to Jia's mansion together in a carriage.When they arrived at Jia's mansion, Lin Daiyu Baochai went straight to Jia's mother. Jia's mother looked at Daiyu with pity. The grandparents and grandson cried again while holding each other. Wang Xifeng finally persuaded the tears. Daiyu missed her father, her eyes were red and swollen, He choked up and said, "Old Ancestor Yu'er wants to leave as soon as possible!"

Mother Jia rubbed Daiyu's cheek, nodded, and said, "I'll let your second elder brother Lian accompany you there. Lian'er, you go back and prepare, and see when you can leave as soon as possible."

Jia Lian said: "It will be the day after tomorrow at the earliest. My sister's luggage and the boat for the maid and mother-in-law have to be prepared."

After hearing this, Daiyu wished she could leave now, but she lived in Jia's mansion and Jia Lian went with her, so she couldn't allow her to make decisions. She felt sad for a while, endured the tears in her eyes, and nodded her agreement.Seeing her stroking Daiyu's arm, Xue Baochai accompanied Daiyu to the Bisha cabinet.

Jia Huan stood in a corner from the beginning to the end, except that she just came in to greet Jia Mu, who didn't seem to see her. Now that Baochai and Daiyu are gone, Jia Mu is still standing in a corner stupidly when she sees Jia Huan. , impatiently waved Jia Huan down.Jia Huan followed Baochai and Daiyu to the bisha cabinet. Jia Baoyu lived in front of the bisha cabinet, and Lin Daiyu lived in the back. Qingwen Xiren saw Daiyu and called Miss Lin, but she didn't dare to see Lin Daiyu's appearance. Step forward to attract suspicion.

"Where is the second brother?" Jia Huan asked.

As if Xiren didn't hear Jia Huan's question, Qingwen looked at it and said flatly, "Second Master has gone to school." She said nothing more.

Jia Huan seemed unable to feel the two's eyes, nodded and followed Baochai and Daiyu to the backyard.Xueyan came out, saw Daiyu's red and swollen eyes, and said, "Miss." Baochai knew that Lin Daiyu had brought Xueyan from Yangzhou, so she ordered, "Go and pack the girl's clothes, where is Parrot?" Brother Jia later gave Daiyu.

"Embroider patterns in the front yard." Xue Yan said.

Baochai raised her brows and didn't answer, she helped Daiyu into the house. Although Xueyan was small, she was a well-behaved person, and although she was worried when she saw Daiyu's appearance, she followed Baochai's order to pack her clothes.Baochai helped Daiyu to the main room, made a teapot, which was ice-cold, and went out with the teapot. He happened to meet Jia Huan. .”

"Okay." Baochai regarded Jia Huan as his younger brother, and his elder brother Xue Pan recognized Jia Huan as his apprentice, so he didn't give up.

Jia Huan took the teapot and went to the rough envoy to pour hot tea. Although he still can't attract respect in Jia's mansion, at least he won't trip him up if he offends him. Carrying the hot water teapot, he went to the main room Baochai was talking to Daiyu about herself. Baochai wore men's clothes and went out to play with her elder brother when she was a child. Later, when she got older, she followed Xue Wang's family to manage the backyard and inner house. It is not an exaggeration to be exquisite in all aspects, comparable to Wang Xifeng's exquisite darling, but Xue Baochai knows that this will give Daiyu a faceless matter, and Daiyu is ignorant, but she knows that Baochai is only thinking of her. of.

"The two sisters are drinking hot tea. I'll go back to the yard first. If sister Lin has anything to do, just send someone to tell me." Jia Huan said.

Daiyu nodded, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Brother Huan, I'm fine." Her heart also warmed up, there are still people in this house who care about her.

Knowing that Baochai had something to say to Daiyu, Jia Huan nodded and left.Baochai knew that Daiyu was leaving the day after tomorrow, so she didn't bother to bother. After asking Daiyu, Daiyu was worried and wanted someone to accompany her, so she naturally agreed to sleep with Baochai at night and chat.In the evening, the two of them had just finished their meal, and Madam Xueyan Wang was taking away the bowls and chopsticks. Baochai was sitting on the soft couch with Daiyu, drinking tea and talking, when she heard chatter and laughter outside, Baochai listened attentively, and seemed to have something to say. Sidao: "I heard that the voice of this charming smile is like a parrot, and the man's voice is like---"

Before he finished speaking, Baoyu had entered the room and shouted, "Sister Lin, you are back."

"Second Master Bao!" Xue Baochai raised his eyebrows and said, "I guessed right, it really is Second Master Bao."

Jia Baoyu saw that there was no one in the main hall, and when he heard noises from the bedroom, he rushed straight to the back room. Wang Momo saw her outside the dining room and stopped her: "Second Master Bao, Miss and Miss Bao are talking in the back room, I'll pass on the voice first- ---"

"When did I come to Sister Lin's place? Don't get in the way! You old man!" Jia Baoyu said.

Lin Daiyu frowned on the soft couch, Xue Baochai never waited to see Baoyu, covered her mouth and whispered "no rules" when she heard this, the volume was just enough for Daiyu to hear, Daiyu frowned and looked at Baochai, the two of them After getting along for a long time, I naturally know that Baochai is not referring to her. After thinking about it carefully, I see Baoyu's appearance before I understand it.

Jia Baoyu was dressed in a splendid scarlet robe and a purple jade beaded crown on his head, looking very festive.Just after Jia Baoyu left school, he invited Ann for Mother Jia. When he heard that Lin Daiyu was coming back, he rushed here without saying a word. Sister, you are back, I have met a wonderful person in the past few days, he is really a fairy in the sky, he is the younger brother of Qin Keqing's sister-in-law in Ningfu, his name is Qin Zhong..."

Daiyu's face was pale, and she felt a little joy when she saw Baoyu just now, and the more she heard it, the more uncomfortable she felt. No wonder Baoyu didn't take pictures of her these days when she lived in Xue's mansion. It turned out that there was a "wonderful person".

Although Baochai felt that Daiyu liked Baoyu and wronged Daiyu, but the matter of feelings was just like what her brother said, it was between the two of them that outsiders could not interfere. Seeing Baoyu's nonsense, Daiyu's face became paler , cut off the conversation immediately, and said: "Who cares about Qin Zhong, even if he is praised to the sky by the second master Bao, how can he have the face of a foreigner to meet sister Lin?! Second master Bao, don't want to talk like this, it's bad Sister Lin's reputation."

When Baoyu heard this, he was stunned and wanted to refute. In his mind, it doesn't matter if he is a man or a woman, as long as he is delicate and elegant, not vulgar, he is a wonderful person. How can there be a difference between men and women and men outside the rules? !

At this moment Brother Parrot came in, heard this, and said with a charming smile: "Miss Bao said it was serious, Baoyu simply wants to send good things and good people to our girl, so I don't care about the worldly rules----"

"You girl is so unruly!" Xue Baochai shouted: "Since you call Sister Lin 'our girl', you must recognize who is your master. Others don't protect Sister Lin's reputation, but you always help outsiders talk , I can’t talk about a girl anymore, there is no room for you to talk about what the master is talking about!”

According to Xue Baochai's exquisite heart, she knew that she had just said Brother Parrot, and she was afraid that Brother Parrot would cover his face and cry the next second and go out to chew his tongue and ask others to make decisions, but what is she afraid of?She has the support of Xue's family if Jia's house can't stay, but what about sister Lin?The master is not like the master, and the servant girl is not like the servant girl, she can't bear it anymore----

"Sister Lin came back in the afternoon, if your protector didn't see you all afternoon, could it be that if Second Master Bao didn't come back, you wouldn't come back either?" Baochai sneered sarcastically.

Brother Parrot knelt down, weeping and showing his loyalty, while Baoyu was frightened speechless by Baochai, only thinking that when the gentle and considerate sister Bao would follow Lian's second sister-in-law to speak out, she was dumbfounded and couldn't tell Half a sentence.

Lin Daiyu supported her head, feeling mixed feelings in her heart, she was so wronged that she wished to fly to her father, this Jia's house couldn't accommodate her at all, her eyes were full of worry, and she said to Jia Baoyu who was stunned: "I'm tired, What kind of wonderful person can't appreciate it, I can't accommodate the wonderful person you have been thinking about here, so go away!"

For some reason, Baoyu made Sister Lin unhappy again. The parrot kneeling on the ground saw that Lin Daiyu didn't even give her a straight look, and cried aggrievedly: "Miss, is it because of Miss Bao's words that you have separated from me?"

Lin Daiyu got up, stared at the aggrieved parrot, and said indifferently: "Do you know that I'll be back for an afternoon?" Xiren Qingwen saw her come back, and it's impossible that the parrot who was also staying in Baoyu's yard didn't know. This Daiyu's heart became colder and colder, she didn't allow Brother Parrot to speak, and said directly: "I can't keep you in the house, you go out!"

When Parrot heard this, he immediately slumped on the ground, covered his face with grievance and began to cry, Baochai said coldly: "Your girl hasn't said anything about you yet, but you are really angry. Since you are so wronged, why don't you tell me?" The old lady is going to wait on Second Master Bao!"

The parrot was so scared that he stopped crying and didn't dare to cry anymore.
