Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

After hearing the order, Xiaoqi came to see Lin Ruhai anxiously, but when he entered the house, he saw Lin Ruhai with his back to the door, looking at the snow outside through the window, looking very sad and lonely, and couldn't help but feel even more uneasy

Lin Ruhai heard Xiao Qi come in, turned around, and said softly: "You don't need to stand, just sit down."

Xiaoqi panicked and said: "I dare not sit on an equal footing with the master"

Lin Ruhai sat on the chair first, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are not from my family, your master is still Ding Guogong, and there is no danger now. I wonder if I will send you back someday?"

Xiao Qi was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord told me a long time ago that if I follow the master, I will belong to him, and I can't have second thoughts. Now that the master won't let me serve you, the lord will never let me go." mine!"

Seeing him kneeling on the ground and kowtowing again and again, Lin Ruhai sighed, "Since I recognize myself as the master, you can't lie to me if I ask you anything."

Xiao Qi nodded hurriedly and said: "I will definitely not lie to the master!"

Lin Ruhen stared at him fiercely and said, "Do you know what Shizi did in Zhuangzi just now?"

Xiao Qi choked up for a moment, between the previous master and the current master, he still chose the current master, and said: "I didn't know it at first, it was Xiao Ba, the secret guard who stayed in Beijing to protect the girl, told me The eldest son wants to marry a girl, and he said that he will go to the emperor to ask the emperor for a marriage edict in the spring of next year. Today...today, I came here to propose to the girl specially."

Lin Ruhai was shocked, stood up abruptly, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You brat!"

Xiao Qi had never seen Lin Ruhai become so angry before, she couldn't help shrinking her neck, and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the eldest princess taught the son the method, girl...she has already agreed"

After a while, Lin Ruhai slumped down again, and said with a wry smile: "I'm the one who is stunned. Although I want to find her a good son-in-law, I can't block her marriage just because of my own selfishness..." After finishing speaking With a long sigh, he waved to Xiao Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Go down first."

Xiao Qi stood up hesitantly, seeing Lin Ruku went to the study next door, knowing that he was going to practice big characters again, so he backed out

After Daiyu returned to the small courtyard, she ordered to grind the ink and spread the paper. She wrote for almost an hour before she calmed down. I have to say that the habits of the father and daughter are exactly the same.

Seeing that Daiyu had put down her pen and sat down on the rose chair under the window, Mother Hao brought up the snacks she had just delivered, and said with a casual smile, "Miss, what's the matter? I heard that Princess Dingguo has died. I said goodbye, and the girl didn't go to see it off." Didn't hear Daiyu's reply, but suddenly saw a huge ruby ​​ring on Daiyu's hand, and wondered: "Young lady never likes to wear rings, why did she turn around today?" Have sex?"

Daiyu blushed slightly, quickly took off the ring, and said, "Just wear it for playing."

Hao Nanny was a little puzzled, she seemed to have never seen this ring before, but Daiyu might not have seen all the jewelry of the ancestors in Lin's mansion, maybe it was given by Lin Ruhai again, so she took the food box down

Daiyu had a fever on her face, she hurriedly poured two cups of tea down

Now that Zijuan is not here, Crystal and Coral can't be alone, the big maid has become a snow goose, and Chi Xiao and Cheng Ying don't care about anything, so Mother Hao didn't see anything wrong with Daiyu, and no one noticed Although Chi Xiao Chengying witnessed it with her own eyes, she knew that Daiyu was so cheeky, so she pretended not to know

In the evening, Daiyu went to Lin Ruhai's place to accompany him for dinner, but she couldn't find anyone in the main room. After asking the maid, she found out that Lin Ruhai had been staying in the study. He didn't care

Lin Ruhai was bored in the study all afternoon, and finally figured out a truth. After all, a daughter is going to marry when she grows up. She can't just change her life just because she doesn't want to leave her.

p: Thank you Le Yao and Master Meier for the pink votes, and the sachet from Shiyuanmu~ There is only one update today~(n_n~

No.30 Second dowry

Zhuangtou from his hometown in Suzhou came to see Lin Ruhai in the capital, and the two talked for a long time in the study. When Daiyu looked for Lin Ruhan in the room, he happened to run into Zhuangtou who came out of the room with a smile on his face.

When the head of the village saw Daiyu, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. As he rushed forward to pay his respects, he said with a smile, "Congratulations, Miss He Xi!"

Daiyu was still at a loss, so he hurriedly backed away after speaking.

Lin Ruhai heard Daiyu's voice, opened the window and said, "Come in, I have something to tell you."

The next day Lin Ruhai was going back to the capital, and he would not come back until the Spring Festival holiday, Daiyu was about to tell him who to follow back to the capital, when she heard this, she stepped into the study

The two sat down, Liu Lan took two cups of tea from a small tea tray and retreated

Lin Ruhai picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then put it down again, and sighed: "You will be 14 years old after the new year, if your mother was still around, it would have been time for you to arrange a marriage for you, and now my father is busy with work, and there is no one reliable at home Friends, it’s really hard to do everywhere.”

Daiyu suddenly thought of Xue Baoqin and Xue Biao, and said, "Father, I heard that the son of Mei Hanlin's family has tuberculosis, is it true?"

Lin Ruhai wondered, "Why do you suddenly ask these things?"

Daiyu said quickly: "It's Xue Baoqin——she is Sister Bao's cousin, and she said she would marry the son of Mei Hanlin's family, but the Mei family urged her to marry, because this year was delayed, I'm afraid the marriage will be forced in the spring of next year. I also heard that the son of Mei Hanlin's family has tuberculosis and is dying of illness, and she has a good friendship with me, so I will help her find out."

Lin Ruhai heard that he was from the Xue family, so he frowned and said, "You little girl, what do you care about all this?

Daiyu stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Father, don't frown when you hear about the Xue family. Ai Xue Baoqin is not like the Xue family at all, and her brother Xue Biao is a very good person. I just can't bear to look at it." She jumped into the fire pit" and said: "Father will return to Beijing tomorrow, and I'm here alone, why don't you ask someone to bring her to keep me company?

Lin Ruhai frowned, and said casually: "Since you said she is good, then it's okay to pick her up." Then he smiled at Daiyu: "You saw it just now, I sent a letter to Suzhou specially, and asked Lin Zhi to come, I didn't expect him to come so fast."

Daiyu saw Lin Ruhao get up and walk to the desk, so she followed

Lin Ruhai picked up a brochure of Kesi noodles on the table and handed it to Daiyu, "This is your mother's dowry list back then, take it back."

Daiyu was a little puzzled, and took it over and said, "What do you want me to do with my mother's dowry list?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Maybe you will get married in the next two years, and your dowry has to be prepared earlier. Your mother's dowry is naturally left to you. You can go to the warehouse to see if you like it. Just check it, and if you don’t like it, send the steward of the outer court to do it.”

Daiyu casually flipped through the dowry booklet. Jia Min was indeed favored back then. These antiques are probably worth a lot of money.

Lin Ruhai said again: "I called Lin Zhilai because of other things." Sighing lightly, he said, "Your mother was very happy when she got you, but then her health became worse and worse. Since you were three or four years old, she sent people to buy things everywhere. The huanghuali wood, I can keep it until you get married and make furniture for you. Later, your mother left, so the huanghuali wood was placed in the old house in Suzhou. My father is too careless, and I only thought of making furniture until now. Lin Zhi comes up..."

Daiyu interrupted him and said coquettishly: "Father is not careless. Father is reluctant to marry me."

Lin Ruhai saw that she was as sweet and naive as she was when she was a child, but she no longer heard her saying "never marry and always be with my father", and sighed inwardly.

Daiyu is a bit older now, and the housekeeper and director are also handy. Lin Ruhai doesn't stick to those clichés, and lets her choose what she likes. After all, the whole Lin family will be hers from now on.

Lin Zhi came this time to see what patterns to use on the accompanying furniture. Lin Ruhai knew that Daiyu didn't like those cliche patterns, so he specially called Daiyu to let her choose by herself.

I'm afraid that Lin Ruhai is the only one in this world who lets an unmarried daughter handle her own dowry, and the only one who is willing to handle her own dowry is Daiyu, a time-traveling girl who is not afraid of being laughed at.

Although Lin Ruhai is a scholar, he is not as rigid as Jia Zheng. When he was young, he was very chic, but when he was older, he was also a celebrity. He never disdained material criticism, and he loved his daughter very much. It would be a strange thing to say it.

Buying a dowry is easy to say, but it is a big science to do it decently. The decorations in Jia Min’s dowry can still be used, but the gold and silver utensils look old and need to be redone , not to mention those silks and satins, the inexhaustible ones have already been rewarded

Naturally, Daiyu doesn't need to worry about these things. These days, Daiyu only paints flowers in Hanbi Building. The furniture should be simple and elegant, but also delicate and delicate, so she used wishful petals and lattice patterns, and the rest of the carvings needed are flowers. Opening a rich patterned suitcase is of course indispensable, but Daiyu is still used to using wardrobes, so she simply asked them to make a whole row of large wardrobes, except for the antique carvings, which are almost the same as modern wardrobes. For jewelry and so on, Daiyu's previous painting patterns can also be taken and let them make them.

Speaking of other people's girls who are waiting to be married are hiding in Xiulou to embroider wedding dresses, etc., but Daiyu spends all day drawing flowers with a paintbrush. She is not engaged yet, so Coral just listens to Mother Hao's order to do it first. For some insignificant embroidery work, according to Daiyu's temperament that she doesn't like to do needlework, I'm afraid that those big things will have to be done by the needlework team of Lin's family in the end.

Two days later, Daiyu was wondering whether Lin Ruhe had forgotten to pick up Xue Baoqin to accompany her, and was hesitating whether to send a letter to remind him, when Xue Baoqin finally came

When Daiyu picked her up, no one except Xue Bao
