Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

Yard, remember to eat dinner with father"

The previous old mother and Aunt Qin also stood aside and cried with Daiyu for a while. Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, they hurried forward and said, "Young lady's yard has been tidied up a long time ago. I'm afraid there is no water at this moment." ready"

Daiyu held Lin Ruhai's hand reluctantly, but she also knew that the reunion was not at this moment, so she went with Nanny Song

Seeing Daiyu's disappearance, Lin Ruhai didn't support her, Aunt Qin hurriedly helped her to lie down, and persuaded: "Master, let's rest more, the girl has returned, so the master should be relieved."

Just as he was talking, a servant girl came in and replied: "Steward Lin asked someone to ask the master, the son of Jia's mansion said he would come to see the master, when is it convenient for the master?"

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment and said, "Let him come now."

The maid answered and turned to go out

Aunt Qin said: "Master, why bother to be so tired, it's the same when I see you tomorrow."

Lin Ruhai said: "Perhaps Daiyu will have to rely on their family to take care of her in the future, so don't wait too long."

On the other side, Daiyu left the main courtyard and arrived at her own small courtyard after a few steps. She saw a grape trellis in one corner of the courtyard, a stone table and two stone benches under it, three rooms in the main room, and another There are three side rooms, several plantains are planted under the steps in front of the house, and the corridors in the courtyard are made of cobblestones.

Several people stood in the corridor and saw Daiyu walking in, saluted and said hello in unison. Daiyu took a closer look and found that there were two nuns and four maidservants in the lead, two of whom were of the same age as her—this was probably the same as the previous companion. Coral and crystal, one has big eyes, full of excitement, one has a handsome face, calm temperament, smiling slightly, and the other two are smaller

After entering the house, I went to the cloak, the charcoal pot in the house was so hot that I couldn't even wear the cloak

At that moment, hot water was poured, and Zijuan helped Daiyu take off her bracelet, rolled up her sleeves, and covered her skirt with a towel so that Daiyu could wash her face and hands. After a while, she hurriedly took the retting box that Daiyu used to use and opened it. , Crystal has silently held the bowl and the mirror by the side

Daiyu calmed down and tidied up, and Nanny Song said, "These girls in the girl's yard have been guarding the yard all the time, girl, do you need to add anything?"

Daiyu said with a smile, "Mama's arrangement is perfect, there is no need to add anything."

Nanny Song said with a smile: "If the girl has no other orders, the old servant will leave first, so that the girl can rest."

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, everyone backed out, left the coral crystal behind, and stepped forward again to greet Daiyu

Shan Huan quickly said, "Young lady has been away for three years and only came back, she misses us to death."

Daiyu laughed and said, "If I go again, I'll take you two with me." Pointing to Zijuan Chunxian, she said, "You all know Xueyan, these two older sisters are Zijuan and Chunxian."

Crystal and Coral came forward to salute, and called: "Sister Zijuan, Sister Chunxian" Zijuan Chunxian also returned the gift

Daiyu asked again, "Why don't you see Mother Wang?"

Zijuan said: "Mother Wang couldn't bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and when she arrived at the mansion, she supported not making money and was already lying down."

Daiyu said: "If you are sick, you still need to ask the doctor to take a look. Have all the luggage been brought in?"

Crystal said: "Young lady brought it when she went to the main courtyard, and I will clean it up after sister Zijuan has seen it."

Daiyu said: "Zicuckoo go and have a look, Chunxian also helps to tidy up, Xueyan goes to smoke the quilt, Coral talks to me."

Everyone agreed, Crystal went out with Zijuan Chunxian, Xueyan went to smoke the quilt

Daiyu waved to Shanhu and smiled, "Come and sit next to me, I have something to ask you."

Coral sat down as she said, and said generously: "Girl, just ask, if I don't know, Crystal will definitely know."

Daiyu said, "When did the master start getting sick?"

Shan Shan said: "Master has been taking medicine since last year, intermittently, but it's autumn this year, he suddenly coughed up blood, the doctor said... he said it was tuberculosis, I'm afraid it was... So the master wrote a letter to tell the girl to come back quickly, this is what grandma said."

Daiyu thought for a while, Lin Ruhai responded

It should be tuberculosis. This disease can be cured in modern times, but it was terminally ill in ancient times. I don’t know if it can be cured by taking traditional Chinese medicine, but now I can only try my best.

Daiyu said again: "How's the doctor's medical skill?"

Shan Shan said: "I heard that this doctor is the most famous Doctor Chen in Yangzhou City, the master has always taken the medicine prescribed by him."

The second illicit salt

When Daiyu was taking a nap, Jia Lian had already entered the main courtyard to meet Uncle Lin.

Lin Ruhai was still leaning on the head of the bed. After Jia Lian saw the ceremony, he smiled and said, "Uncle is still in good spirits? My father and uncle taught me to greet my uncle."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "I'm sorry for the two uncles, is your mother-in-law okay?"

Jia Lian replied: "Although the old ancestor is old, he is in good health. The shame of the day is just talking and laughing, and his spirit is also good."

Lin Ruhai said: "Is the journey safe? Your sister didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Although the boat trip has been smooth in recent years, Sister Lin is looking forward to seeing my uncle soon, but it is only a few days before the illness is good."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "I have ordered the housekeeper to prepare a residence for you. It's the end of the year, so I can only wrong you to spend the New Year in Yangzhou. Although Yangzhou is not as prosperous as Kyoto, it is still quite prosperous. If you need money, go directly to the account That’s right, don’t be an outsider.”

Jia Lian hurriedly bowed in response, and seeing that Lin Ruhai was biased, he hurriedly said, "I won't disturb my uncle's rest, so I'll take my leave." Then he went back to the outer courtyard.

Jia Lian thought in his heart that Uncle Lin seemed to be seriously ill, and he might be able to return to Beijing in a short time. Before he left, he remembered that Jia's mother ordered all the Lin family's wealth to be transported back to Beijing, and Mrs. Wang asked him to take the Lin family's property. Sell ​​everything, and only bring the banknotes. Both of them wanted to put the Lin family's things into their own warehouses. Mother Jia kept them for the two jades, but Mrs. Wang was only for Baoyu. After thinking about it, since the Lin family's money has to go through my own hands, it's more serious to make a fortune first.

Daiyu just got up after a while, changed her clothes and went to the main courtyard. Because the luggage was not packed properly, she ordered Zijuan and others to stay, and only brought Shan Shan and two nuns.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Aunt Qin came out to greet her, and said with a smile, "Miss, have you rested? Master, he just fell asleep."

Daiyu smiled and said: "I'll come and see my father. The smell in the house is not very good. Is there any plum blossoms in the house? I can fold some to put in a bottle. My father is also happy to see it."

Aunt Qin hurriedly said: "The plum blossoms in the garden have just bloomed, so I'll go and pick some." After that, she helped the two maids to leave

Daiyu entered the room and saw that her father had fallen asleep, so she tucked up the curtains and quietly ordered the maids serving in the room to open the window and slit the windows.

Although I know that Lin Ruhai is not my father in my previous life, but looking at the similar face and the same loving eyes, I still can't help but feel like I have found it again. Relying on some prescriptions and dietary treatments I tried in my previous life, I don't know if I can change Lin Ruhai. the fate of death

After instructing the two servant girls in the inner room to close the window at the time of a cup of tea, Daiyu took Shan Shan to the small kitchen, because Lin Ruhai was the only serious master in the mansion before, so the master's meals were always served in the small room in the main courtyard. kitchen to do

It was almost dinner time, and the small kitchen was already busy. When Daiyu walked to the door of the small kitchen, a [-]-year-old mother who was in charge came out with a smile and wiped her hands. She smiled even more when she saw the coral behind her. Toothless: "Why did the girl come here? The place is dirty, I'm afraid it will stain the girl's shoes"

A courteous servant woman moved a stool and asked Daiyu to sit down. Daiyu said, "You don't need to sit down. I just want to ask what kind of dishes are you cooking for the master?"

The mother who was in charge was the daughter-in-law of Nanny Song, the mother of Coral, who was called Chunsheng's family. Fish fillet, sweet and sour lotus root, bright pearl tofu, red plum and pearl, mushroom and duck feet six side dishes, also prepared anchovy siu mai, red bean paste apple and lotus seed meal porridge”

Daiyu nodded after hearing this, and said: "It's all right, it's just that the fish bites the sheep, so don't give it to the master. The master's disease is opposite to the mutton. From now on, remember to eat fennel, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, green onion, ginger, chili, dog meat, mutton, and smoked meat." Don’t give the master to eat the dry roasted food.”

Chunsheng's family panicked and said, "Oh, how good is this?"

Daiyu comforted her and said: "Don't worry, just remember it later, I will write down the prescriptions that need to be avoided later, and I will ask Shanhu to send them to you."

Fang from Chunsheng's family calmed down, and laughed again: "Master Tite ordered to make the girl's favorite food of lake rice and wild rice, three fresh dragon and phoenix balls, and crystal plum blossom buns. What else can the girl want to eat? Just ask, I will Let's do it for the girl"

Daiyu said with a smile: "That's enough, don't bother, just replace the master's fish biting sheep with stewed squab with four treasures. If you haven't done it before, I wrote the recipe."

Chunsheng's family said: "There are pigeons, but I have never heard of this dish."

Back in the main room, just as Aunt Qin came back with some red plums, Daiyu picked out a plum vase with dark flowers and dragon patterns in sweet white glaze, and picked the best one by herself, put it in the vase and put it in front of the window. On the table, the remaining branches were bottled and sent to myself and Aunt Qin's yard.

When Lin Ruhai woke up from a deep sleep, he felt refreshed, with the faint scent of plum blossoms emerging. He opened the curtain, and saw the flower table in front of the window lit up with a vase of plum blossoms, and Daiyu sitting on the side holding it. When I read the book, this scene is as beautiful as a painting, and I felt emotional for a moment, looking at my daughter's peaceful expression, Duoxiao can accompany her to grow up, choose a son-in-law for her, and see her happy life, then think again I feel discouraged again when I think of my platinum

While reading, Daiyu looked up and saw her father was sitting on the bed in a daze.
