Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Zhou Hang advised Lin Daiyu not to be confined to the size of the boudoir, but to go out bravely and see the vast world outside.Daiyu knew that what he said was reasonable, but because of etiquette, she was afraid that others would make irresponsible remarks, which would be bad after all.Zhou Hang also knew that this matter should not be rushed, so he had to take his time.What's more, Lin Ruhai's poisoning and his wife's interception of complaints have not been taken care of. Yangzhou City is experiencing troubled times, and even if he goes out, he will have to live for a while.

Therefore, seeing Daiyu frown, Zhou Hang took advantage of the situation to change the topic and talked about his own affairs in the 21st century.Daiyu was very interested, asking questions from time to time, looking like a curious baby.

The eunuchs and guards who delivered the decree left on the second day.

In addition to sending things from the imperial court, they and their party also brought Lin Ruhai a letter from the emperor's secret decree.As for the instructions of the secret decree, Lin Ruhai didn't say anything, so naturally Lin Daiyu didn't know either.However, Daiyu guessed from Lin Ruhai's slightly dignified face that something big might happen in Yangzhou City in the near future.

After her birthday, Daiyu resumed her previous life.

Reading, learning etiquette, learning embroidery, and handling housework, I rarely have free time.

The weather was fine that day, after breakfast, Daiyu first took a few maids to learn etiquette in the courtyard where the two nuns were teaching.When I got back to my small courtyard, I saw that the girls were all playing together, so I ordered people to move the chairs, and sat with the kitten under the eaves of the verandah.

The pomegranate tree in the yard has sprouted new leaves, and among the tender green leaves are hidden red buds, bulging and about to open, like inverted bells.Squatting under the pomegranate tree, two little girls who were only seven or eight years old were watching the ants move, pointing and muttering something while watching.A few other girls brought a bucket of water over, laughing and noisily, and were watering the flowers and trees in the yard.

Xueyan came from outside with a smile, holding a small package tied with a handkerchief in her hand, and her face was full of spring breeze.

"Girl, look what this is?"

Daiyu smiled and said to Zijuan: "Look at this girl Xueyan, I don't know what she has done, like offering treasures like this?"

"What? I'll take a look too." Zicuckoo said as she walked over, holding a very small saving box in her hand, which contained all kinds of preserved fruits and snacks.Daiyu ate too much for dinner yesterday, so she had a bad appetite in the morning. She only ate two small wontons and drank a bowl of japonica rice porridge. Zijuan specially prepared these for fear that she would be hungry.A little girl with sharp eyes and quick hands brought a small table beside her. Zijuan put the saving box on the table and said with a smile: "The kitchen is newly delivered, girl, try it?"

Daiyu picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, and said, "What about the fat little dried fish, save a box for it too."

Hearing this, Zijuan didn't care to see what Xueyan was holding, and hurried into the house to prepare to go.Snow Goose pouted, it was boring.She walked up to Daiyu, unfolded the handkerchief, held it in her palm, and said, "Miss, look!"

Daiyu laughed and said, "I thought it was something rare. It turned out to be the seeds of Impatiens. Where did you get these?"

Xueyan said: "I asked for it from Xiaojuan, the daughter of Aunt Zhang who is in charge of the big garden outside. Everyone said that her mother is very good at taking care of flowers and plants, so the flowers in our garden bloom so well. The girl sent me I went to see Huier in the sewing room, and happened to pass by the garden and met Xiaojuan. She was in that kind of impatiens. She said that hers were different from others. The flowers were big and thick, and the nails were the best. Give me these."

Hearing what she said, Dai Yuyin asked, "What happened to Hui'er?"

Xueyan said: "Hui'er is much better after taking the medicine. I told her to let her relax. The girl already knows, and she won't let her mother sell her. Hui'er was so moved that she cried She said that if the girl could stop her, she would save her life, and she would be like her reborn parents. In the future, she would make a cow and a horse to repay the girl. She also said that she would kowtow to the girl and begged me to bring her Let her come. I see her body is so weak. Although she is better now, she still needs to be bedridden for a few days. How dare you bring her here? I told her, you will be healthy and see you in the future. , It won’t be too late to kowtow again. Otherwise, it’s so easy to ruin the pretty body, wouldn’t it be disappointing to the girl’s heart? She’s still lying on the bed.”

Daiyu sighed and said, "I'm sorry to see you, you should go and see her more these days." Alas, Hui'er's life is already miserable, and she has to have such parents and brothers, isn't it killing her?But since she, Lin Daiyu, knows about this, they don't plan to fulfill their wish.So the order was passed down, and in the future, whenever Hui'er's family members wanted to come in to see his daughter or pass on a message, no one was allowed to talk to them.No one is allowed to gossiping around Huier about her family's situation.If anyone dares not to listen, no matter what the reason is, they will all be kicked out with forty boards.

The reason for doing this is that Hui'er is just better, so that those so-called relatives who don't have long eyes come to disturb her again and cause more illnesses; It can be seen that they are not good people. Daiyu disdains them, so naturally she can ignore them.Although they are Hui'er's relatives, since they sold Hui'er cruelly back then, Hui'er's life and death have nothing to do with them.It is a grace of the host's family to let their relatives meet, and it is reasonable not to allow them to meet.

She has already said this to this point, if someone still sends them a message, it can be seen that they are the same kind of people as them.

People with bad conduct will eventually be a disaster if they stay at home, it is better to drive them out.

Who knew that in the afternoon of that day, Huier's old lady came to Lin's mansion clamoring to see her daughter, but was kicked out by the concierge. Don't let her take a look.As a result, many people gathered to watch, and someone asked her, "Everyone says that the Lin Mansion is a home of charity, you are slandering what you say, if you don't tell the reason, we will send you to the Lin Mansion to make amends."

Seeing that everyone came to ask her, the woman became more and more excited.She is not stupid either. Knowing that the Lin family suddenly refused to let her see her daughter, it must be because she wanted to redeem her daughter and then sell it. Daughter is out of the question.She was holding a test mentality like Lin Fu, in order to meet her daughter, first to see what she is like now, and second, to be moved by the love of mother and daughter, secretly thinking that Huier girl is not heartless Honestly, what I said was pitiful, that girl can't just watch her own mother starve to death.

As long as she is willing to take the initiative to ask for the grace of the master and let her go out to marry someone, the matter will be settled.But he didn't even think that he didn't even enter the door of Lin's mansion, and no one would say a word, but he was reprimanded by the concierge quite a bit.The mother-in-law scolded a lot of ugly words in anger, which attracted the crowd of good people.

Unexpectedly, this incident stimulated her and made her come up with a solution that was not a solution.

It's just to go all out and make the matter so big that everyone knows it.Don't those masters who are slaughtered for officials care about reputation the most, so she will start from here.She didn't believe that the Lin family would ruin her reputation for a hairy girl.As long as things get serious, the Lin family will return their daughter to him for a tael of silver in order to calm things down or to prove that they have not done anything harsh to their servants.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Lin family was really annoyed and asked her to perform surgery.As the saying goes, an arm can't twist a thigh, and by then she will be finished.

However, don't care too much.

I remembered that my two sons owed 500 taels of silver to the brothel for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and now they are still detained there, just waiting for the money to redeem them.The mother-in-law felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and she couldn't care about other things.The time limit is half a month, now five days have passed, and there are still ten days left, if the money cannot be collected, the two sons will only die.If they died, she would not be alive anymore, so she would simply fight it out, and everything would be settled.If it doesn't work, everyone will die and the net will be broken. If I die, your Lin family can't even think about getting away clean.

She has already contacted a buyer, a landowner and squire. His family has dozens of fertile fields and several pawnshops.The old man is over 60 years old now, and has only one daughter under his knees, and no half son.It's just because he is a fear of internal affairs, and his wife is strict with him. Even if he wants a son, he dare not take a concubine. He used to secretly have sex with a girl a few times. The girl was two or three months pregnant and was discovered by his wife. , The one who was beaten until the tire slipped out, died within a few days after going out.His wife died last month. Due to etiquette, this master cannot remarry immediately, so he wants to buy a concubine first, but he hopes to have a son as soon as possible so that the incense can continue.

It should be between fifteen and twenty years old, good-looking and able to take care of others. It is best to have stayed in a rich family and understand the rules.The mother-in-law compared them one by one, and felt that her daughter was in line with everything, so she asked someone to tell the master.The man was only willing to give 300 taels of silver at first, but later he heard that her daughter was a girl from Xunyan Yushilin's mansion, and she was very good at sewing, so he agreed to double the price and give 600 taels of silver.

The mother-in-law thought secretly that with the 600 taels of silver, she could redeem her two sons.Offended the Lin family, Yangzhou city is not easy to stay, the rest of the money is waiting to leave Yangzhou and look for a small business to make a living, slowly praise the money and give it to the son to ask for a wife.

As for her daughter's future, it is no longer in her consideration.

Daiyu doesn't know about this yet, she is currently planting impatiens with snow geese in her small garden.Zhou Hang greeted Daiyu and said he wanted to have a look around, and left with a few cats.After knowing Zhou Hang's secret, Daiyu no longer regarded him as a cat.Although he was a little worried that Zhou Hang would be in danger and be bullied outside, he was not just a cat after all, but a vigorous person with his own thoughts and ambitions.She could not and should not confine him within this square inch.

Therefore, even if she was worried, Daiyu would still give him freedom.

"Girl, you dug too deep, no sprouts can come out." Xue Yan suddenly called out.

Daiyu suddenly realized that she was thinking of Pangpang without knowing it, and she was digging the soil with the little flower shovel in her hand, and there was already a lot of soil beside the dug hole.The depth of the pit is several times that of Xueyan.I couldn't help throwing down the shovel, smiled, and buried the soil next to it until there was only a shallow pit, then put the seeds in, sprinkled a thin layer of soil, and poured some water.

After doing this, I just washed my hands when a little girl rushed over and said, "Girl, it's okay, it's okay!"
