'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

While withdrawing the money, Zijuan chattered to Daiyu: "Half hanging is too much. Usually we girls run errands, and when we meet big and happy events, wives and gentlemen only reward one hundred. ♀Report to the chief and apply for a divorce"

Xueyan accepted Zijuan's order, and said reluctantly: "He took advantage of it, and took two shares of the money. With the two silvers in advance, can she take a fancy to the hundred? Why don't you give up the money?" Go buy rice cakes for me."

"Her's is hers, I'm mine, you go and hand over the money, go out and wait for a while before leaving, and listen to what she says about me."

Daiyu was a little excited, it was so interesting to listen to the house fight at the bottom of the wall.She can just take this opportunity to test the loyalty of these servants, and she has a plan in mind in the future.

After a while, Xueyan came back, her face was not very good, and she was about to sue Daiyu, but Daiyu stopped her.

Sister Silly came in and saw that Chunxian was combing Miss Lin's hair, so she didn't dare to disturb her, and went to Zijuan's side.

Zijuan knew that she had been wronged yesterday, so she pulled her to ask a few questions with concern.

Sister Silly still hasn't calmed down yet, when talking about this matter, tears still surround her eyes.

"Second Master Bao wronged me, and none of the people present could speak for me. Fortunately, there was Miss Lin. Otherwise, Second Master Bao would sue me to Second Mistress Lian. I would not be able to explain why, and I would have to be beaten up."

Daiyu combed her hair, saw that the silly girl was there, smiled and told her to go over, and saw that her eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot.Yin asked her, "Did you cry again last night?"

"That's not true, I couldn't sleep, I tossed and turned all night."

"You, it looks like you were frightened. I happen to have a delicious scent here. You take it and burn it before going to bed. It has the effect of calming the nerves.

Daiyu picked up the paper bag from the table and handed it to Sister Sha.

Sister Silly took the paper bag, sniffed it, and praised: "It smells so good!" It is expected that this incense must be precious, so I am very grateful to Daiyu.

"You don't need to thank me. Sister Bao gave it to me. It just so happens that I don't like to use it. You are sick again. It's just right for you. I have the right to be generous to others."

"That's what Miss Lin gave me. Naturally, I want to thank Miss." The silly girl's name is silly, but her heart is not stupid, and she can tell whose kindness is the greatest.She carefully put the incense into her bosom, and then she remembered what the old lady had ordered, and said to Daiyu, "Miss, please come over!"

Daiyu wondered: "Why is it so early today, her old man specially troubled you to call me?"

Sister Silly didn't know too well, when she took the order, she heard Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang say "the Lin family" "letter" or something, so she guessed: "There seems to be a letter from Yangzhou."

Daiyu didn't dare to be negligent when she heard this, she put on her gown gratefully, and went to the old lady's place.As soon as she entered the door, Mother Jia cried to her.Wang Xifeng was also there, crying with Jia's mother, constantly talking about Daiyu's life.

Daiyu and the others persuaded for a long time, and then Jiamu stopped crying.Jia's mother stared at Wang Xifeng roundly, complaining about her.

"Blame your second sister-in-law. She thought it would be safe to find a postman to deliver the letter. Who would have thought that this Zhang Qian is a half-baked guy who fled back when he met bandits and didn't even keep a single letter."

Jia's mother pretended to blame Wang Xifeng on the surface, and the words "thought" and "who ever thought" were obviously used to excuse Wang Xifeng.Mother Jia wanted to tell Daiyu that they had tried their best, and losing the letter was irresistible, and there was no one to blame.

Daiyu was crying or making noises at this time, which made her seem very petty. (The best reaction is to be silent for a while, and then smile generously, saying that you don't mind or something.

But Daiyu cared very much in her heart. Those letters were written by her day after day.From not being able to write brush characters at the beginning, to now being able to write small letters with a brush, I have practiced every day with this letter.She wanted Lin Ruhai to live, but the distance was far away and communication opportunities were limited. She had no other way to encourage Lin Ruhai except by writing letters, and she only had one chance to send a letter to Lin Ruhai every year.

Now this only chance was messed up by that kid named Zhang Qian.Lin Daiyu hated her teeth itchingly, this Zhang Qian must not fall into his hands, otherwise... Uh, no, she should blame the robbers, well, these robbers must not fall into his hands, otherwise she will Ask people to strip off their clothes and scratch the soles of their feet for three days and three nights.

She is a very kind person, and she is as kind and soft as a spring breeze when dealing with enemies. She will never let them cry, and it is refreshing to scratch the soles of their feet until they die happily!

"Poor sister Lin's full of filial piety to Uncle Lin, I was not careful...For the present plan, I have to trouble my sister to write another letter."

Wang Xifeng wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and obediently admitted her mistake, not forgetting to glance at Ping'er and Lin Zhixiao's house from the corner of her eye.The two were terrified, this matter was decided by the two of them, and now that something happened, the Second Mistress couldn't hold her head up in front of the old lady, and they unanimously expected that the Second Mistress would not let them go lightly after returning home.

"Sister Lian, please rest assured. I'll just write another letter. It doesn't matter if the letter is lost, as long as the sender doesn't lose his life. Otherwise, the price of Daiyu's letter is too heavy."

Daiyu cleverly persuaded Wang Xifeng, and everyone present couldn't help secretly praising her for knowing the general situation.They all praised Daiyu a few words, and Mother Jia also felt that Daiyu was sensible, and couldn't help pity her even more.

The next day Daiyu finished writing a long letter, and after lunch, she went to Wang Xifeng's room to make preparations in person. When she entered the room, she saw Sister Feng's son eating. Son.That girl just turned three years old, when Shui Ling was cute, she couldn't hear clearly when she was talking, so she could only scratch with her hands.Daiyu teased her by tearing a pendant pearl hairpin from her head, and asked her eldest sister to call her 'aunt'. The eldest sister liked to chase after the little beads. She stretched out her hand to grab them, but she couldn't catch them. In a hurry, she pretended to sniff her nose and cry. .Daiyu panicked, and quickly handed the hairpin to the eldest sister.After the eldest sister held the hairpin in her chubby little hand, she immediately put it behind her back, stuffed it under the quilt, and then smiled and spread her two empty palms to grin at Daiyu.

The eldest sister's wet nurse, Nanny Chen, saw that the gold hairpin inlaid with pearls and jade was very precious, so she didn't dare to neglect Daiyu, so she hugged her eldest sister quickly, and wanted to take the hairpin back from the quilt and return it to Daiyu, but she just touched it with her hand. On the mattress, the eldest sister's nose twitched, and water vapor appeared in her eyes, and she was about to cry.Nanny Chen hurriedly stopped, the eldest sister started to cry, Second Mistress Lian couldn't help telling her that this was what she was most afraid of.

Daiyu was so amused by the elder sister's behavior that she almost laughed and pulled her away, and said to Nanny Chen: "I didn't expect her to know how to hide a 'private house' at such a young age. Who do you think she looks like?" Daiyu asked meaningfully mouth.

Of course she looks like a powerful mother!

Grandma Chen didn't dare to tell the truth, she shook her head with a smile, and turned back to Daiyu.Seeing that Daiyu was holding a letter in her hand, she had heard a little about what happened yesterday, and she sighed secretly, sympathizing with Miss Lin's suffering.Naturally, his speech was a bit softer than usual, and seeing that Daiyu didn't put much airs on her, he talked more.

"Miss, why don't you go while grandma is having dinner? She should be free after dinner, but today Zhou Rui's family brought an old and a young one, saying that they are relatives of the second wife's family, and they are waiting for the second grandma to meet after dinner. Well. It’s not appropriate for the girl to go at that time, so why bother to wait. Or leave the letter to someone else to handle it, so there’s no need to wait here.”

"I'm fine. I'm here for a walk. There are so many people here. Seeing the excitement, I'll join in. See you or not, I'm not in a hurry."

Nanny Chen just loves to hear Miss Lin speak, she has a beautiful voice and an amiable tone and attitude.Then she opened the chatter box and said something she found interesting.

Daiyu didn't care about these things, instead she liked to hear about Nanny Chen's family background, so she asked a few more questions.Nanny Chen told Daiyu about her experiences from childhood to adulthood.

Nanny Chen was originally born in an ordinary family in the capital city. Although she was not considered wealthy, she lived a fulfilling and carefree life. Nanny Chen had two elder brothers and an older sister. Two years of fighting to the death.Now there is only one brother left, and the elder sister married far away in Yangzhou, and there has been no news for decades.She also has a little sister who was sold to a wealthy family as a maid when she was 14 years old.Because of her good looks, she was photographed by a businessman who came to Beijing as a comprador, and she became his concubine, and followed the businessman to Hangzhou.

"My younger sister has been close to me since I was a child. After she got married, she gave me two messages. From what she said, she seems to be living a pretty good life. My brother-in-law is in the water transport business. He has a rich family, food and clothing. You don't have to worry about the cost, and it's good for her. Last month, she sent me a little message, saying that she would come to Beijing with her brother-in-law and father and son soon. Be a horse." When Nanny Chen spoke to the end, she lowered her voice, fearing that the wall would have ears and someone with a heart would tell her to the master.

Daiyu nodded, "That's good. Don't forget to call me before you leave. I'll see you off."

Nanny Chen smiled gratefully, and said modestly: "Don't listen to her nonsense, what about the year of the monkey and the month of the monkey, she has been married for five years, and her belly hasn't moved at all, so how can she gain a foothold? She can't fool herself, but don't worry. Not me. I, just hear that she can pass on the news, and know that she is doing well and has this heart, and I am satisfied."

Seeing the serene look on Chen Nanny's face, Daiyu knew that what she said was from her heart, so she couldn't help being touched.It's a great feeling to have sisters, whether they are relatives or sworn brothers, the inseparable friendship between them will never change no matter how far apart they are, even life and death.

Zhou Rui's family sent Grandma Liu away to look for Daiyu, and found her in the eldest sister's room, and invited Daiyu to come over with a smile.

Daiyu gave the letter to Zhou Rui's family and asked her to pass it on.

"Second sister-in-law is busy, so I won't make any trouble. I just came to see my eldest sister and you are leaving."
