Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

After finishing speaking, the more Lin Daiyu thought about it, the more it seemed like that.

Seeing that her daughter was really anxious, Lin Ruhai said, "The kitten is too small, no matter whether it catches a cold or not, there is nothing wrong with paying more attention."

Lin Daiyu thought so deeply, so she ordered Xueyan and Zijuan to take the blankets and brocade mattresses she had prepared earlier, spread them thickly, and then wrapped them in blankets like a small swaddling baby, holding the Shousui , watching the servant girl covering her mouth and laughing.

Zhou Hang is depressed, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my throat and a bit angry. I don't have a cold or a cold, so I don't need to be so tightly wrapped.

It's already warm in the room, so don't worry about it.I feel hot……

It's a pity that he can't speak the words of others, no one present can understand, and at this moment, he can't write to Daiyu.

So, Zhou Hang huddled and huddled under the quilt, and glanced at Daiyu from time to time with his wet, pitiful eyes.

Those little eyes were full of grievances and sorrows, and the maids who were waiting on the side couldn't bear to see them.

Lin Daiyu patted the kitten's head comfortingly. Zhou Hang seemed dissatisfied with this, and slowly stretched out his paw to pat Lin Daiyu's hand, and let out a "meow meow" twice.Lin Daiyu heard that his voice was a little different from usual, it seemed a little hoarse, she couldn't help but raised her head and said to Lin Ruhai: "I think Fatty is sick, does Daddy know where there is a doctor who treats cats, dogs and other small things? Show Fatty one, don't procrastinate and get worse."

Lin Ruhai said: "It's hard to find someone for this big festival, at least we can get through tonight and invite someone tomorrow."

Lin Daiyu nodded and fed the kitten some hot water.

The night was long, Lin Ruhai was afraid that Daiyu would be hungry, so he had ordered some delicate snacks and many preserved fruits, and now he ordered them to bring them up.It happened that Lin Daiyu was also hungry, so she casually picked up a piece of yam cake and was about to put it in her mouth when the kitten let out a cry and stared eagerly at the snack in her hand.

Daiyu had to break off a small piece and feed it into his mouth.

Zhou Hang, who enjoyed the beauty feeding service, was in a good mood. It would be great if the cat's sense of taste wasn't so bad.In the past, he liked to eat sweet and salty things the most, but after turning into a kitten, he can hardly understand these two tastes.Resigned to his fate and lamented for a while, Zhou Hang exposed half of his body from the quilt and stretched out his claws to grab the handkerchief Daiyu was holding.Daiyu stretched it out and pulled it back, deliberately not to be caught by him. The kitten seemed not to give up if it couldn't catch it, and stretched out its paws one after another. One person and one cat had a great time playing.

Lin Ruhai looked at it with a smile and said nothing.

At the beginning, everyone was in good spirits, but after midnight, they felt sleepy, and a few maids leaned against the door frame and dozed off.Seeing that Daiyu was also sleepy, Lin Ruhai urged her to rest on the couch for a while, but Daiyu refused, and proposed to play chess with Lin Ruhai instead.

Lin Ruhai also became interested when he heard it, and hurriedly ordered the servant girl to set up the chessboard, and the father and daughter sat and played chess against each other.

Unknowingly, the sky has turned white, and a rooster crows from a distance, heralding the arrival of the New Year.All the maids push me and push you, they all say that the new year is coming, and they want to pay New Year's greetings to the master and the girl.Zhou Hang had already fallen asleep, but was awakened by the yelling, jumped out of the quilt, stretched his legs, jumped onto the chessboard, with his tail up, and meowed at Daiyu.

Happy New Year, Sister Lin! Happy New Year!

Daiyu hilariously carried him off the chessboard and put him on the kang, and then paid New Year's greetings to Lin Ruhai, and got eight auspicious gold ingots as lucky money.All of a sudden people came to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu, Lin Ruhai went out to accept the presents from everyone, Lin Daiyu was still young, fearing that she couldn't bear it, so she just said no to handing out the reward and finished the job.

Lin Daiyu stayed up all night and was very sleepy. After explaining everything, she went to catch up on sleep.

Lin Ruhai, however, changed into new clothes for meeting guests, preparing to receive Yangzhou officials and salt merchants who came to celebrate the festival.

Although the so-called "congratulatory festival" is to congratulate each other on New Year's greetings, in officialdom, the low-ranking people usually give the high-ranking ones a hundred years, and the high-ranking people rarely go to the homes of the low-ranking ones to pay New Year's greetings.Lin Ruhai was in charge of the censor of the salt class of the third grade, and had the title of the second grade on his head. It was obvious that he was favored by the emperor and had a high weight, and he was the only one in Yangzhou City.Therefore, most of them are officials and merchants who come to Linfu to pay New Year's greetings.

She didn't know how to greet Lin Daiyu in the New Year outside, and she was sleeping soundly with Zhou Hang's kitten in her arms.

When I woke up again, it was already midday.

Feeling the furry touch between her neck, she opened her eyes, and saw the kitten huddled up again and nestled on her shoulders, with its small tail resting on her neck.Daiyu touched the fluffy ball, Zhou Hang's little butt arched, raised his sleepy eyes and glanced at Daiyu, then closed them, stretched his body, the whole cat lay on Lin Daiyu's neck, and stuck out its little tongue Licked Lin Daiyu's chin. .

"Hehe, itchy..." Lin Daiyu was still drowsy at first, but after a while, he completely lost the slightest drowsiness.

She hugged the kitten to her chest, touched the cat's nose, and touched her body again.The kitten was warm all over, and let out a comfortable cry after being stroked. Its voice was clear and lazy, and it was no longer hoarse as before. It seemed to have recovered a lot, and it must be fine.

I don't know if my father invited the veterinarian to come home, thinking about it, he hugged the kitten out of bed.

Zijuan sat in the outer room and beat walnuts with a small hammer. When she saw her come out, she quickly put down the hammer, walnuts and other things in her hand, smiled and got up and said, "Miss is awake, did you sleep well?" He ordered the little girl to fetch water, towels, washbasins, etc., and waited for Daiyu to wash. Then she helped Daiyu to sit down with a smile, and asked, "Does the girl eat walnuts?"

Lin Daiyu saw that she had already peeled a plateful of walnuts, and they were neatly placed on a small porcelain plate, so she asked, "They are all good, what do you do with them?"

Zijuan said: "Yesterday, I heard from Grandma Li that when she was a child, she liked to eat snacks such as walnut cakes and amber walnuts. Anyway, I was fine, so I peeled some walnuts and sent the little girl to the kitchen, so that they could prepare them and send them to the kitchen." Wouldn't it be nice to give the girl a taste?"

Daiyu didn't expect Li Feng's daughter-in-law to say casually yesterday that the girl Zijuan remembered it in her heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your intentions, since that's the case, I simply asked the little girls to peel it together, wouldn't it be faster than you alone?" some?"

As he spoke, he looked around, only two little girls were sitting by the door, cutting flowers, but they couldn't see the snow geese, so they asked, "Where did the snow geese go?"

Zijuan has already gone to invite all the girls to come in and peel the walnuts together. When Daiyu asked Xueyan, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Xueyan is still asleep. Just now I bet with some little girls to see when Xueyan will wake up." Woolen cloth?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xue Yan laughing outside: "Who said I haven't gotten up yet!"

Zijuan smiled and said to the two little girls: "Look, I won the bet!"

Said that Xueyan had opened the curtain and came in, saluted Daiyu, glanced at Zijuan, and said: "Sister Zijuan, why didn't you call me when you got up?"

Zijuan stretched out her hand to pinch her face, "You girl is so heartless, I told you not to get up, now it's my fault?" Xueyan smiled and hid her face, turned her tongue and said : "I said why I heard someone calling me in a daze. I thought it was a dream. It turned out to be true. I blamed sister Zijuan by mistake. I should apologize."

Saying that she really got up and bowed, Zijuan hurriedly got up to support her, and kept saying that she couldn't do it.

Daiyu looked at Zijuan and then at Xueyan, covering her mouth and smiling.

At that time, several young maids started to peel another plate of walnuts.Daiyu sat down with the kitten in her arms, and asked Zijuan and others if the master could have someone invite a veterinarian.Zijuan said with a smile: "I invited a veterinarian. Because the girl and Pangpang were both asleep, the maidservant arranged for him to wait in the side hall outside. Now that Pangpang has woken up, I sent my mother-in-law to take him away as soon as possible." Show it to the doctor, if you really have a cold, you should prescribe some medicine as soon as possible."

Daiyu thought so, so she ordered Wang Momo to carry it to the veterinarian herself.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Momo came back and said: "Sir, the fat man didn't catch a cold, maybe he got angry from eating salty food, just eat light food these few days and pay attention to keep warm."

Hearing this, Daiyu blamed herself very much, and at the same time ordered the girl to open the box to reward the doctor with broken silver, and at the same time ordered the kitchen not to put salt in the stewed fish for Pangpang, and it should be light for the next few days.

Zhou Hang didn't care about it, he didn't put salt if he didn't put salt, anyway, he couldn't taste anything with his taste buds.

Daiyu watched the little girls peeling walnuts for a while, and when she saw that the sun was shining outside, she ordered someone to move a small couch to bask in the sun and read a book.Several big cats brought by Zhou Hang were also playing in the yard. Seeing Lin Daiyu coming out with Zhou Hang in his arms, they gathered around and barked at Zhou Hang from a distance.

Daiyu patted a certain cat stretching on her lap, and motioned him to go down and play for a while.

Zhou Hang glanced back at Daiyu, jumped down, and walked over as if he was inspecting the territory with his head held high. Several cats meowed around him, looking a little obedient.Several cats whispered to each other strangely, and then they all called out to Zhou Hang, and each jumped onto the wall and disappeared.

Lin Daiyu beckoned for the kitten to come over, pinched the tip of his ear and said, "Fatty, what did you do again?"

Zhou Hang buried his head in Daiyu's stomach, pretending to be dead.

I just sent little brother Zhong to find out who are the people who came outside today, and whether there is anything wrong with the Lin family, so I didn't do anything wrong!

Several cats came back one after another at ten o'clock in the evening, and informed Zhou Hang of their respective inquiries.

It turned out that many people who came today were pregnant with ghosts.

For example, the magistrate frequently gets close to Lin Ruhai, but he actually wants to play on Daiyu. His eldest son is 16 years old this year and has just passed the exam. He heard that Lin Ruhai's only daughter, Lin Daiyu, has returned to Yangzhou, so he wanted to find out what Lin Ruhai said. Can the two families form a good relationship between Qin and Jin?There are also those big and small salt merchants who want to profit from Lin Ruhai, some want to get more salt at a low price, and some want to evade taxes in an attempt to pay less salt tax money.

Zhou Hang clenched his fists secretly, with the young master here, none of you can succeed!

The most urgent task is to find out as soon as possible whether there is anyone with dirty hands and feet in the Lin family. Lin Ruhai has his own way in official affairs. If he can't even deal with this little trouble, he won't be able to be the inspector for so many years.

But Lin Ruhai is not the director of the private house, if something goes wrong, it will be fatal!

Thinking about it, Zhou Hang ordered the cats in his hands to contact more cats as soon as possible, especially those who have lived in the Lin family for many years and are familiar with the situation of the Lin family, to find out the reason for Lin Ruhai's poor health. Not good, it's still someone's poisonous hand.
