Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Seeing that a man broke in, Zhou Hang's first reaction was to jump down, grinning his teeth and stretching out his claws.

What kind of bullshit man should be scratched in front of Sister Lin!

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, her face was full of admiration, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Daddy..." she called out in a daze.

Nani!This is... Lin Ruhai?Didn't it mean that Lin Ruhai was nearly half a hundred years old and terminally ill? For Mao, for Mao, he still looked so handsome, handsome and elegant?Although there are silver threads on the sideburns, but I can't stand the fact that he has a good background, Zhou Zheng has a long face and is handsome, and he has a good figure. He is also dressed in a long robe and brocade clothes. Although he is thinner, he is handsome, elegant and full of scholarly air.

No wonder she gave birth to such an extraordinary daughter as Sister Lin. It turns out that Lin Ruhai is also a handsome guy.

Knowing the truth, Zhou Hang quickly braked. At that time, his two front paws had already been stretched out, and now he had to retract them.But the result of withdrawing it in a hurry was that when he retreated rapidly, he didn't do anything well, he didn't stand firmly, and his whole body rolled over on the ground.

Daiyu was so focused on Lin Ruhai that she didn't pay attention to Zhou Hang's movements, but Xueyan could see clearly, and couldn't help but let out a soft "Yeah".The originally chubby kitten rushed towards it fiercely, clearly trying to fight people desperately, but it seemed to understand the moment the girl called out Daddy, and quickly withdrew its sharp little claws.No wonder it is said that the kitten raised by the girl is spiritual, and it is really different from the others.It’s funny. It’s funny. After all, the kitten is a kitten. It only knows how to stretch its claws. When it doesn’t know how to retract it, it needs to control its strength. It fell down and rolled around on the ground. He flicked his tail and shook his head, pretending to be calm, as if he wasn't the one who fell just now, how cute he looked.

Oh no, I can't help but laugh out loud!

When she shouted, not only Daiyu, but everyone in the room saw it.

A certain cat that became the focus covers its face, Xueyan, you are silent and no one treats you as a dumb, now it's all right, my face...

"Fatty, does it hurt from the fall?" Daiyu was afraid that the kitten would be injured, and regardless of Lin Ruhai's presence, she quickly squatted down to pick up the kitten and checked it. Seeing that there was no trauma, she handed it to the maid at the side and told her to take care of it. Lin Ruhai said: "Don't be surprised, Daddy. Although Fatty is naughty, he is very sensible and understands human nature. He didn't mean to offend Daddy, it's just that he is eager to treat Daddy as a bad person."

Lin Ruhai knew that Daiyu had a kitten and loved it very much. When he saw it today, he knew it must be this one.

It was the first time he had seen such clear and lively black cat pupils, no wonder his daughter loved them like treasures.As soon as he came in, he saw a kitten rushing towards it ferociously, stretching out its sharp claws, its eyes full of deterrence, and he was really surprised.Although the kitten is small, only a little bigger than a palm, and it is not expected to cause much damage, the firmness in its eyes is shocking.

Such a small cat knows how to protect the master, Lin Ruhai nodded, very satisfied.

Lin Ruhai hoped for the stars and the moon and finally hoped for her daughter to come back. She originally wanted to go to the ferry to pick her up in person, but she didn't want to be busy with business today, so she couldn't put it off, so she had to carefully send someone to pick her up and arrange a place to stay.Although it was a proper post, but still worried, hurriedly finished the official business and learned that Daiyu had disembarked and lived in another courtyard, and didn't care about the light meal, so he rode out of the city on horseback, determined to see her sooner. to daughter.Thoughts were mixed along the way, thinking of her daughter's suffering in Jia's mansion, she felt remorse and heartache, secretly thought that she would treat her daughter doubly in the future, and make up for her lost love.

After walking all the way and thinking all the way, there seemed to be thousands of words to say to my daughter.

Who would have imagined that when he really arrived in another courtyard, he felt a little timid because of the closeness to his hometown.

Surrounded by the maids, Lin Ruhai entered Daiyu's room with almost a blank mind. When she saw her daughter, she couldn't say a word.Suppressing the tears that welled up in his eyes, Lin Ruhai's face was somewhat joyful and somewhat bitter. He was delighted to see his daughter, but when he saw the thin face of his precious daughter who had been separated for more than three years, he couldn't help but think of the misery she suffered under the fence, and felt very sad. uncomfortable.Until Daiyu yelled "Daddy" with red eyes, Lin Ruhai woke up like a dream, and felt sore in his heart.

Both father and daughter are full of heart, and they don't know how to tell.There was an episode about the kitten, which eased the sad atmosphere. The father and daughter talked a few words about the kitten. After all, the father and daughter were connected, and soon there were endless things to talk about.

When mentioning her life in Jia's mansion, Lin Daiyu only said it cheerfully, not mentioning all the grievances she had suffered, lest Lin Ruhai would feel sad after hearing it.How could Lin Ruhai not know what her daughter was thinking?Usually, every time Daiyu writes a letter, it is always to report good news but not bad news.

"Son, good boy..." He stretched out his hand and patted Daiyu's shoulder, muttering.

Blame him, all blame him, if he hadn't been credulous and believed in Jia's mother's heart of loving and caring for her granddaughter, he felt that Jia's family would treat Daiyu kindly and would not tire her to be cautious everywhere.Thinking back to the letters I received from the capital in the past, they all talked about how Daiyu and her cousins ​​studied and got along with each other, how they enjoyed flowers and played together and became female celebrities. Alas, I blame myself for being careless and not sending someone to investigate.

Lin Ruhai has had many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, and his scheming and strategies are not bad.It may also be because the Lin family has always been small and upright, and there are no secrets in the house. Parents and relatives have loved each other since childhood.No matter how deep his schemes are, he always uses them on the outside, and never uses them on his family and relatives.In the past, when his first wife Jia Min was there, Lin Ruhai often heard her say that her mother loved her very much, and even the two elder brothers stayed behind, and heard her talk about the affairs of Jia's family. Can't afford it, who would have thought...

Thinking of Lin Ruhai, he sighed and stared at Daiyu with pity on his face, "Yu'er, you are exhausted from this journey. I will call you when I need it."

Lin Daiyu shook her head, "The people my father sent were very considerate, and the food and lodgings were all the best along the way, and the carriage I was riding in was big, spacious and warm, without any bumps. The big sedan chair carried by people is still comfortable. So my daughter doesn't feel tired, but my father is busy with work and worries about me, and he gallops here in the starry night, so I think he is exhausted."

As he said that, he wanted to kowtow to Lin Ruhai, but Lin Ruhai refused, and Daiyu said: "My daughter has been away for three years, and it is unfilial to not be able to greet and serve her every day. Now it is so easy to see my father, and I am not allowed to Kowtow, I feel even more uneasy."

After saying that, he knelt down and bowed a few times, asked about Lin Ruhai's body, and ordered the servant girl to bring out the big woolen clothes and some shoes, socks and purses made for his father a few days ago, and showed them to Lin Ruhai one by one, and then personally helped him put them on. Pass.Lin Ruhai's slightly haggard face was full of smiles. Putting on the cloak Daiyu sewed by herself, she felt warm, and ordered her servants to put away the rest of the clothes, shoes and socks. The father and daughter retreated from the crowd and sat down to talk.

Zhou Hang was also carried by Zijuan to the wing.

Unwilling to be separated from Daiyu, Zhou Hang took a chance to jump down, ran into the room, and rubbed against Daiyu's legs.

Daiyu picked up the kitten in a funny way, pouted and tugged at the tip of his slightly raised tail, and said, "Fatty, you are naughty, if you want me to hug you, just sit down and don't move." Call and call to disturb my conversation with Daddy."

Seeing this, Zicuckoo who was chasing after him stopped and stood aside.

Zhou Hang raised his head and gave a "meow" to show that he knew.

Daiyu stroked his hair amusedly, and looked at Zijuan, "You've been tired all day, go and rest for a while."

Hearing this, Zijuan bowed to leave, Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "This kitten is really quite intelligent, such a small group, it can scare people when it is fierce, and those who don't know it will think it is a tiger cub."

Zhou Hang turned his head away and buried his head in Lin Daiyu's lower abdomen, leaving a fluffy butt for Lin Ruhai to squat on.

Lin Ruhai didn't care, and asked again: "That girl was given to you by your mother-in-law just now, the one named Zijuan?"

After Daiyu paid homage to her father, the maids around her kowtowed to Lin Ruhai one by one.Lin Ruhai took the opportunity to look at each of them one by one. After Xueyan had been there for many years, although she looked more and more like a big girl, but a lot of it hadn't changed. Lin Ruhai recognized it at a glance. As if she had sent someone to investigate before, she was more and more able to take care of others. up.As for Zijuan, although her face was gentle and honest, Lin Ruhai was a little worried. After all, she was the daughter of Jia's family. Although she returned to Yangzhou with Daiyu this time, her parents and family were still in Jia's house.

"It's her." Daiyu has always been intelligent, seeing Lin Ruhai frowning and thinking for a while, she already guessed what he was thinking, and then said: "I don't know, although Zijuan is a daughter of Jia's family, but Since she followed me, she has been thinking about me wholeheartedly. In the past, when I was wronged or neglected, I was not good at speaking, but Zicuckoo always defended me. Although I am not as bright as my father, who is sincere and who is false? I can see it clearly. Before leaving, my uncle asked for a contract of sale from Zijuan’s family for me. Although Zijuan’s parents are still in Jia’s house, the contract of sale is in the hands of her daughter. Zijuan also swore in front of her daughter that I would With my daughter for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, he told Lin Ruhai one by one how his uncle and aunt took care of him recently.

This was beyond Lin Ruhai's expectation.He originally thought that his elder brother-in-law, Jia She, was a frivolous person who could not be used, but unexpectedly, he was a courageous and upright person.On the other hand, the second wife, who was frequently praised by his first wife, was cold-blooded and ruthless, and ignored weak girls.

Now that the contract of sale of Zijuan's family is in Daiyu's hands, Lin Ruhai has no worries, and puts the matter aside.

Knowing that Lin Ruhai came here non-stop after finishing his official business, Daiyu couldn't bear it, so she quickly ordered her servants to set up another table of food for Lin Ruhai to eat. Healed and blamed himself more and more.

"Good boy, I heard that you are coming soon. As a father, I feel hopeful every day. In the past few days, my spirit has improved a lot, and the cold has almost recovered. I only cough a few times, but it's not a serious problem."

Daiyu wiped the corners of her eyes, and said: "That being said, Daddy came to see me again at night after being tired all day. If he gets tired and sick, how can we make my daughter feel at ease? It's not that my daughter is talking too much, but Daddy will take good care of his body in the future. Don't be like today again, for the sake of your daughter, regardless of your own body, riding out of the city on horseback in the cold night."

Although she was reprimanded by her daughter, Lin Ruhai felt full of joy.

"What Yu'er said is that after becoming a father, I must take good care of my body. I still have to live a long time to support us, Yu'er."

Daiyu laughed at his tears, and asked after a while: "How did Dad find this other courtyard? It's very elegant, and it's no worse than our home in Yangzhou. I stayed in the capital for three years. , I also saw a few good gardens in the capital, although all of them are gorgeous and handsome, with carved beams and painted buildings, but they are not as artistic and charming as the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, like a painting in a poem."

"Oh? Yu'er still remember our mansion in Yangzhou?"

"Why don't you remember?" Daiyu raised her head, her brows and eyes were full of joy, "I remember that our family also had a very exquisite garden, with small bridges, flowing water, rockeries, and pavilions, and green bamboos, orchids, hibiscus, and camellias were planted. , plum, chrysanthemum and other flowers and plants, and a huge koi pond. My mother forbade me to go to the koi pond to play alone. There are a few cranes with red tops and white feathers, which are really lovely. There is a row of parrot shelves hanging under the corridor of the main courtyard. Dad likes one of the green-haired parrots the most. He often reads poems to him. You are so smart that you can remember most of them.”

At the end, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Ruhai: "Daddy, is what I said right or not?"

Children have a poor memory, Daiyu was only six years old when she left, and spent several years in the bustling capital of the capital, Lin Ruhai also said that she had forgotten most of the layout of her home, who would have thought that she could remember it clearly, Xi said: "Yu'er is really right."

Daiyu touched the kitten that was restlessly rolling on her lap, and raised her head with a smile, "Daddy, you haven't mentioned this other courtyard yet..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "This was originally the garden of an old friend of mine. His whole family was an official in the capital. This beautiful garden must have been abandoned. Two years ago, an old friend wrote to say that he had settled down in the capital. I'm afraid I won't come back to this place in the future, so I asked me to sell this other courtyard. I saw that this courtyard is very elegant, and it would be a waste if it were sold to some local tyrants and gentry, so I simply paid a penny more and bought it myself .It’s only two or three miles away from our farm, so it’s convenient.”

Daiyu came to a sudden: "It turned out to be our own courtyard."

The two talked for a while, and Daiyu urged Lin Ruhai to go down to rest as soon as possible, and had to rush to the city tomorrow morning, she was afraid that Lin Ruhai's body would not be able to bear it.

Lin Ruhai finally saw her daughter, but couldn't bear to leave so soon, after thinking about it, her daughter has already returned, and she will see her more often in the future, so she doesn't care about this moment.Thinking of this moment, I can't help but make up my mind, I must take good care of my body in the future, at least find a good family for my daughter, find a husband who treats him wholeheartedly, and only then can I leave with peace of mind after watching her get married and have children.

Otherwise, leaving Daiyu alone as a weak woman, helpless, even if he is a ghost, he will not be at ease!

Thinking about it, she got up and left, and before she left, she asked Daiyu to go to bed early.
