There is no phoenix

Seeing Xueyan, Chunxian, Meiqing and Zijuan cleaning up the house, Daiyu went in first with Wang Momo.Mammy Wang asked Daiyu to sit down, and said to Daiyu, "Girl, Mammy wants to tell you something today, don't blame Mammy for not telling you."

Daiyu sat down, smiled at Wang Momo and said, "Mom, what do you mean? I don't have any parents anymore, and you are the elder in my family, as my father has also told me. No matter what, I won't It's your fault."

Wang Momo said: "Girl, you are 15 years old now. The master has told you that you will be taken out of here soon. Do you know that we have a house in the capital and a big shop. Now the one on Chang'an Avenue The biggest pharmacy is under the name of the girl. Our house is on the mountainside on the way to the Muni Court. These are all set up by the master before his death. You, Uncle Lin, are in charge of them, and there is a family in the house. The house is guarded there. The master explained that if you want to stay in the capital, you must live in our own house after you reach the age of 15, and don’t let people here know.”

Daiyu was very surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Mother Wang, is what you said true?"

Wang Momo nodded and said: "Yes, Li Lei and Li Xun know about the girl's shop and house, and we all went to see it. Not long after we came to the capital, your Uncle Lin Zhong came. But your father confessed that he didn't want you to know These, saying that you are still young, I hope you can live a simple life. The master believes that your grandmother and people in Jia's mansion will not treat you badly. Also, the master left this property to the girl, and I don't want the mansion to know. The master once asked the master of Qiling Temple in Yangzhou to see the girl's fate, and said that the girl was in a catastrophe at the age of 56, and she must have a quiet place to avoid the disaster. The master speculated that the biggest disaster may come from this mansion. So The master has repeatedly explained, don't let you know about this, let alone the Jia family."

After hearing this, Daiyu realized her father's painstaking efforts. Thinking of her father's little things that day, Daiyu couldn't stop crying and said, "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do!"

Mother Wang said again: "Miss, please stay here for a few days. I told you, Uncle Lin, that Baoyu got married at nineteen. Uncle Lin said, it's hard for Jia's mansion to take care of the girl for so many years, and she is going to come to the mansion to see her at eighteen. Old lady, I said that I came to pick up the girl from Gusu under the order of the master. At that time, I will bring a generous gift to the old lady, as well as your uncle, aunt, and Baoyu. Uncle Lin said that he will pick up the girl on the [-]th, so it is justified , etiquette is not lacking, what do you think, girl?"

Daiyu nodded and said: "That's fine, I haven't visited our home in the capital yet, besides, sister Miaoyu is getting married at the end of this month, I can't go to see her off, but I hope to return to Gusu after she gets married."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she told Mother Wang about Shui Rong.After hearing this, Wang Momo looked at Daiyu and said, "Girl, the master hoped that the girl would not marry the prince or grandson, or even marry her."

Don't marry a rich family, because you are afraid that others will bully the girl without parents and brothers.The girl is a smart person, and you must have thought about this matter.Mammy believed in the girl's vision, and hoped that the young prince would do what he said.We just have to wait for Uncle Lin to come and discuss this matter after we get to our new home. "

Daiyu said: "Uncle Shui and Brother Rong will make it clear to Uncle Lin when the time comes, Mammy don't worry."

Wang Momo said: "Girl, you must remember that we must not let this know about our houses and shops in the capital. The master has repeatedly explained. Even if there is a mistake here, the girl will still have a place to stay after all. Master He also said that if the catastrophe cannot be avoided, the girl herself can still save her life and the last blood of the Gusu Lin family. The master also hopes that one day, the girl will have more children and continue the blood of the Gusu Lin family. The master has always believed in what the grandfather said That's right, the daughter of the Lin family should not be underestimated, she is also the hope of the Lin family in the future. So when the girl was three years old, the master and wife personally taught you to read poetry and books, and at the age of five, the master invited the master to teach the girl, because the master believed that in the future, the girl's The children will be successful."

Daiyu burst into tears when she heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Mammy's hand and said, "Mammy, I know. I will not insult the ancestors of the Lin family. After Sister Miaoyu gets married, we will return to Gusu. Give incense to my parents, my grandparents, I believe they will protect me."

Wang Momo wiped away Daiyu's tears, and said with a smile, "Time flies so fast, the girl has grown so big in a blink of an eye, if the master and wife see that the girl has grown up to be as lovely as she is now, I don't know how happy she will be. Girl, rest well , I will start tidying up from tomorrow. It’s just the girl, Xueyan and I will leave with the girl, Mei Qing will go back to Feng’s residence, what about Zijuan and Chunxian?”

Daiyu thought for a while and said: "Zicuckoo is a son of the family here. It was given to me by my grandmother. She is devoted to me. I want to ask her. If she is willing to follow me, I will help her redeem her body. Chunxian didn't Relatives, I will also ask her. It is not easy for them to follow me, but it is also good for me. When I settle down, I will let them marry a good family."

Wang Momo nodded and said: "These girls are all good, honest and loyal. We have our own residence, and it is not difficult to arrange for them. Let me say that it is very good for Xueyan to marry Li Lei. If Zijuan is willing, let her marry Li Lei." Li Xun, both are relatives, Li Lei and Li Xun are also loyal people, they both bought a small yard, and they said they will wait for the girl to get married before starting a family."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Li Lei and brother Li Xun are both over 20 years old. I feel guilty because I haven't married yet. We will discuss this matter after we go back. I will also ask Zijuan and Chunxian."

The next day, Daiyu asked Mother Xueyanmeiqing to pack up her things, called Zijuan and Chunxian to her and said, "Zijuan, my Uncle Lin will come to pick me up soon, I probably won't come back here again, you It was born here, and it was sent to me by my grandmother. I want to ask you, would you like to go back to my grandmother, or would you like to follow me?"

Zijuan said: "Girl, I have been following you for so many years. As long as the girl doesn't dislike me, I am willing to serve the girl for the rest of my life. Although I am the son of a family here, but now my mother has gone, and my father has been on the farm outside. He is accompanied by my brother and sister-in-law, and I don’t have any worries. My brother said that he wanted to redeem himself with my sister-in-law in spring, because there are layoffs here.”

Daiyu said: "Zicuckoo, you have to make up your own mind and follow me. I have no parents. I can only promise that I will let you be free people soon. If you agree, I will let someone help you find a loyal man." I don't dare to promise anything else. If you are willing to follow me, I will go to my grandmother's place in a while to redeem you. Chunxian, how about you?"

Zijuan said: "Girl, I've made up my mind. She treats me well. I can't bear her. I'm willing to be a slave for her all my life. I won't regret it."

Chunxian also said: "I have no relatives. Since I came here to serve the girl, the girl has never beaten or scolded me. She treats me so well. I have such a good master as the girl, and I am willing to stay with the girl for the rest of my life."

Daiyu said: "Okay, then it's settled like this. I will go to your grandmother's place to redeem your bodies in a while, and you should clean up here. Zijuan, you should also tell your brother and sister-in-law. I guess after Baoyu and Sister Bao get married, Lin Uncle came too. Wang Momo said that it would be best to return to Gusu before my birthday, because my father always remembers my 15th birthday."

After hearing this, Zijuan said: "My brother is busy with Baoyu's marriage outside the second gate. I can see him at any time. Don't worry, girl."

Daiyu said: "Zicuckoo, first go to the box and get 100 taels of silver. I'll go to my grandmother's right away. You can go with me, and Chunxian will help pack things."

Daiyu brought Zijuan to Jiamu's place. Jiamu was talking to the mandarin ducks. Seeing Daiyu coming in, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Yu'er, come here. Your brother Bao and sister Bao are going to get married. I was still talking to you just now." Yuanyang said, "It's sixteen today, and I'm afraid that someone from your hometown will come to pick you up. Yu'er, no matter when someone comes to pick you up, you have to wait until your brother Bao gets married before going back, okay?"

Daiyu walked up to Jia Mu and sat down, and said with a smile, "Grandma doesn't want me, and I don't want grandma either. Now that Brother Bao is finally getting married, grandmother can rest assured. Don't worry, grandmother, I will wait for Brother Bao and Sister Bao to get married. Let’s go. Mother Wang said, she just hopes that I can return to Gusu before my birthday.”

After hearing this, Jia's mother said happily, "I have sent someone to pick up the girl, and let her come back tomorrow, but the third girl is in the palace and cannot come back. Yu'er, let's go and see your brother Bao's new house in a while. , how are you?"

Seeing that Jia's mother was in a good mood, Daiyu nodded quickly and said, "I also want to see Brother Bao's new house. It's just my grandmother, I know everyone is very busy these days, Yu'er still has two things to ask my grandmother, and I hope my grandmother will agree. "

Mother Jia hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Yu'er, tell me, as long as my grandmother can do it, I will definitely do it for you!"

Daiyu said: "Grandmother, Zijuan and Chunxian are both assigned to me by you, and they treat me well. I asked them if they would go with me if I went back to Gusu. Say yes. So I want to ask my grandmother, I want to redeem the two of them, let them continue to follow me, I have no sisters, they have been with me for so many years, just like my own sisters, we can be companions together."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she handed 100 taels of silver to Jia Mu.After hearing this, Jia's mother hurriedly said, "Yu'er, you are my granddaughter. I gave you Zicuckoo, and I gave you the green strands from Xiangyun. You don't need to give money. I was with you a few days ago. Sister-in-law's little red, that is 20 taels of silver to redeem herself. Chunxian is a little girl, not worth much."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "I know my grandmother loves me, but the imperial court has its own rules, and everyone has their own rules. Now the second sister-in-law and the second aunt are housekeepers together, and I am also half the master here. If I break the rules first, Wouldn't it be embarrassing for my aunt and sister-in-law Feng? Grandma, I don't need any money right now. Madam Wang said that there is an old house in Gusu offering sacrifices to the fields. Uncle Lin and my two cousins ​​have been managing it very well, and have some income. The few of us will not suffer when we go back. How can I feel at ease if my grandmother doesn’t accept me!”

After hearing this, Jia Mu hurriedly asked Yuanyang to accept 50 taels, found out the sales contract of Zijuan and Chunxian, handed it to Daiyu, and then got up and said, "Yu'er, let's go and see your brother Bao's new house now."

For a while, Yuanyang asked someone to lift the soft sedan chair, and Daiyu Zijuan and Yuanyang accompanied them to Yihong Courtyard.I saw Baoyu under the eaves, taking down the white parrot, watching the parrot talk carefully.

Baoyu saw Jiamu Daiyu coming in, still holding the birdcage in his hand, stepped forward to meet Jiamu Daiyu and said, "Old lady, sister Lin, why are you here?"

Jia Mu said, "Baoyu, that parrot is fine. What are you doing with it?"

Baoyu hurriedly said: "Old lady, look, there is only one white bird in the whole garden. It is too lonely, so I am going to release it today." After Baoyu finished speaking, he opened the bird cage, and the parrot clapped After flapping its wings a few times, it quickly flew to the roof, watched Baoyu cry a few times, and flew away quickly.

Daiyu hurriedly said, "Brother Bao, why are you suddenly willing to let it fly away?"

Baoyu looked at Daiyu, smiled wryly and said, "Sister Lin, you are right, sometimes we humans are not as good as those birds. Parrots have spirituality, so we should cherish its spirituality. It is the only one in this garden that is different from others. So let it find its kind and bosom friend."

After hearing this, Daiyu laughed quickly and said, "Then I will thank Second Brother for that parrot."

At this moment, Mother Jia entered the room and said to Daiyu, "Yu'er, come and see, is this a good arrangement?"

Daiyu hurriedly walked over, looked around, and saw that all the furniture had been replaced with new furniture, she hurriedly said: "Grandmother, I think it looks good."

For a while, musk moon and autumn patterns serve tea to Jiamu and Daiyu.Jia's mother said: "You should take good care of him in the future and don't let Baoyu be distracted. If Baoyu has good results in his studies, of course you will also benefit!"

Musk Moon and Qiu Wen hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Jia Mu said to Baoyu who came in again: "Baoyu, you are about to start a family, and you must not be the same in the future. If you give Huan'er and Lan'er a good head, the empress will also be happy. I am old, and I only hope you You can live a good life and keep our ancestral family business, and I can see your grandfather with peace of mind."

Seeing that Jiamu was a little sad, Daiyu comforted her, "Grandmother, Brother Bao has grown up, so he will naturally understand your painstaking efforts. In the future, with Sister Bao's reminder, Brother Bao will definitely get better."

Baoyu seemed to be intentional or unintentional and said: "Don't worry, old lady, I won't make you angry again."

After hearing this, Jia's mother said happily, "Baoyu, if you really understand. You have to take a break these two days and help greet the guests. I heard that your uncle is back, so you can get in touch with these more in the future. An official is a butcher, and it is easy to learn some principles of life."

Mother Jia sat for a while, then got up to go back.Daiyu said: "Grandmother, I won't accompany you there, you have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow!"

Jia Mu nodded, got on the soft sedan chair as before, and returned to her room.

Seeing that Daiyu was leaving, Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Sister Lin, when will your uncle come to pick you up?"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Brother Bao, don't worry, I will wait until you and Brother Bao get married before leaving. I guess Uncle Lin will come in a few days."

Baoyu said, "Oh, what about the azalea?"

Daiyu said: "Zicuckoo will leave with me too. Both she and Chunxian said they would go to Gusu with me, so I'm afraid I've already redeemed them."

Baoyu heard this and sighed, "Forget it, the second sister is married, sister Yun is married, and sister Qin is also married. I'm afraid the third sister will never see her again. I heard that Miaoyu is going to marry Feng Ziying soon. You all want to marry her." I'm gone, but my empty body can only stay here."

Seeing that Baoyu was in a daze again, Daiyu hurriedly said, "Baoyu, is it possible that you want these sisters to die here with you? Girl Yun and Girl Qin are relatives, so naturally they want to go back to their home; Not here; and my surname is Lin, not Jia, and the old lady knows that I will return to Gusu sooner or later. Brother Bao, if you want to start a family and start a business, is it possible that we can only watch you live?"

Daiyu's words made Baoyu speechless.Seeing that Baoyu didn't speak, Daiyu took Zicuckoo back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Daiyu went back to her room and saw that Mammy Wang and the others were still packing up, she hurriedly said: "Mommy, I think it's better to pack those books first, put the books in the box, and only pack the things I brought from Gusu. Leave everything else here."

Xueyan said: "Don't worry, girl, that's how we clean up. It's just that there are some girls' playthings when they were young, and small gifts from sisters. Do you want more?"

Daiyu said: "Take all the gifts from the sisters, and keep them in mind."

Chunxian said, "What about the things that Second Master Bao gave you?"

What will Daiyu do with the gifts and playthings that Baoyu gave her before?And see below.
