[Red Chamber] Dai Yu became the favorite of the Song Dynasty

Daiyu then whispered to Lu Qingzhou: "I'll go to your place tomorrow and stew the ginseng that Shangyang sent you. It's even better than the table my brother made."

"Will it be too much if you eat so much supplements recently?" Lu Qingzhou joked.

"No. You just recovered from a serious illness, and your health is very bad. When you are fully recovered, you will continue to contribute to the court."

"Then let's stew it. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to eat much by myself."

"When Xiaojiang comes back tomorrow, I'll ask him to eat with him. He grew up in the frontier, and he hasn't eaten anything good."

"it is good."

During the meal, Yu'er did not forget to show off to his family: "Uncle Lu promised to teach me the art of war, and I will be able to learn more in the future!"

Dong Niu was really happy after hearing what her son had said. She wholeheartedly hoped that Yu'er would go on the road of official career. In the future, the Lin family would be able to become an official family after the imperial examination. "Then you thanked Uncle Lu?" ?”

"Mom, I thank you."

"Uncle Lu is not in good health, you are not allowed to be naughty and make him angry, you know?"

"Don't worry, I will be obedient."

"That's good." Dong Niu expressed her gratitude to Lu Qingzhou again, "Qingzhou, thank you for your willingness to teach this child, I will cause you trouble."

"It's hard for Yu'er to learn what my sister-in-law said. She is a good seedling."

The Lin family was still as enthusiastic towards Lu Qingzhou as ever, and from time to time they brought him vegetables and water, which made Lu Qingzhou feel the rare family warmth.

In the countryside, after Xiaojiang and Qiu'er's father drove the carriage to the vegetable field, Qiu'er's father said to Xiaojiang: "Go and do your work first, leave this to me, and come back to work after you are done." Dai Yu greeted Qiu'er's father early in the morning, saying that Xiaojiang had something to do today, and asked Qiu'er's father to take care of him more.

Qiu'er's father agreed without saying a word, he knew that what Daiyu did was for everyone's benefit.In addition, when he heard that the girl Xiao Jiang wanted to pursue was the granddaughter of the village chief, he immediately felt his face glow.After all, he was the bridge builder between Daiyu and the old village head, and he indirectly contributed to the acquaintance of Xiaojiang and Wanwan.

If Xiaojiang can really succeed with Wanwan, then the connection between the folks and Tokyo will be even closer.From any point of view, this is a good thing.

With hairpins in his arms, Xiao Jiang found the old village chief in the field, and asked hesitantly, "The village chief... um... let me ask, where is Wanwan now? I have something to do with her."

The old village head was very happy when he saw Xiao Jiang, and quickly replied: "She is drying millet in my yard, you should go and see."

"Hey." Xiao Jiang turned around and left after receiving the letter of approval. The old village chief looked at his back and smiled cheerfully.

Seeing the old village head's satisfied expression, Qiu'er's father ran over to talk to him: "You are blessed to be old. This Xiao Jiang is a good boy. He works hard in the store and earns a lot every month. He is still in Master Lu If you learn martial arts in the martial arts hall, you are good at everything. If he and Wanwan can succeed, then it will be a good marriage."

The old village chief said modestly: "It's still early, it's still early... Alas, we're just making matches at the moment, and we don't know what their young people think."

"Isn't that obvious? He ran to find Wanwan as soon as he came, so he was naturally satisfied with us. When they get married in the future, the princess will definitely treat them badly. If I can buy them a house in Tokyo , Wanwan will be able to live comfortably for the rest of her life."

"It would be best to borrow your auspicious words. It just depends on their good fortune." The old village chief said.

As soon as Xiaojiang arrived at the old village head's house, he saw Wanwan holding a wooden rake in his hand, constantly turning the millet on the ground.Xiao Jiang approached, and said hello to Wanwan awkwardly: "Are you busy? Give me the rake, I'll do it, and you can take a break." After speaking, he reached out to pick up Wanwan's rake.

This made Wan Wan a little embarrassed: "I don't need to do it myself." She guessed that Xiao Jiang was here to collect the vegetables again, so she asked, "Why are you here if you don't go to the field to help collect the vegetables?"

"I'll come and see you." Xiaojiang talked to Wanwan while chopping rice. "Oh, I almost forgot." He quickly took out the box containing hairpins from his pocket and handed it to Wan Wan: "Hey, here it is for you."

Wanwan looked surprised, she didn't expect Xiaojiang to know how to give herself something, she couldn't believe it: "Give it to me?"

"Yes, put it away."

Wan Wan was moved in her heart, she gently opened the box, saw the peach hairpin, her eyes were a little glowing, and said with emotion: "This is so beautiful!"

"It's fine if you like it, but I'm afraid it won't suit you."

"Thank you, I've never seen such a beautiful hairpin." Wan Wan showed a sweet smile, which was extraordinarily brilliant under the sunlight.Xiao Jiang was a little fascinated by looking at the ground, thinking that this girl is so pretty, so he searched all the millet in the yard with all his energy.

When he appeared in the vegetable field with Xiao Jiang that night, Qiu'er's father suddenly regained his spirits, ran to the old village head in one breath, and said gossipingly, "See, am I right? Look at the two of them." What a perfect match, what a match made in heaven!"

The old village chief didn't care about talking, he just smiled "hehe".

"You, it's time to discuss their marriage with Wan Wan's parents later. I'm sure I'll drink this glass of wedding wine." Father Qiu'er said.

"Don't worry, you are indispensable."

"Grandpa, grandpa!" Wanwan was calling the old village head all the way.

When the old village chief heard this, he said to Qiu'er's father, "I won't be poor with you, the child is calling me."

"go Go."

"Have you finished turning the millet at home?" the old village chief asked Wanwan.

"It's over, thanks to Xiao Jiang for helping."

"Okay, then you two can go and help to check the scale, so that they don't make mistakes all the time." The old village chief deliberately created an opportunity for the two to get along.

"Okay, here we go."

After all the vegetables were loaded into the car, Xiao Jiang and Qiu'er's father were about to rush back to the city, and he and the old village head took them to the entrance of the village at night.

It wasn't until dark that Xiao Jiang and the others returned to Lin's house.

"I have completed the task you arranged, and the hairpin was given to Wanwan." Xiao Jiang quickly reported to Daiyu.

"How? Does she like it?"

"I like it very much, and I always say it looks good."

"Let me just say, my eyesight is not bad." Daiyu asked again, "Then did you talk more this time, don't be the same as last time, just two sentences and it's over."

Xiao Jiang was still coy: "Why are you asking so much? It's our own business..."

"Okay, then I won't ask, so as not to embarrass you. But to be serious, if you both have a good impression, you have to tell me in advance, so that I can prepare a gift and bring you to the door to propose marriage."

"Well, I see."

"Come to the martial arts hall with me tomorrow, I have something good for you." Daiyu pretended to be mysterious.

"What good thing? You don't want me to give it to Wanwan again, do you?"

"You have a good idea. I won't always pay for you to buy gifts for others. Next time, I want to send you to buy them yourself."

"Yes, yes, I understand, I will wait for you to go to the martial arts hall tomorrow."

The next morning, after Daiyu and Xiaojiang had breakfast at home, they went to the martial arts gym together.

Lu Qingzhou was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a letter in his hand, and was reading it seriously.

"Who wrote the letter? You read it so intently." Daiyu asked.

"You came just in time. It's a letter from Zizhan. He asked me how I feel better these days."

"I haven't heard from him for a long time, but he is fine in Huangzhou."

"His words in the letter were flat, so there should be no disturbances. He also said that he would wait for me and take you to Huangzhou to see him."

"I've been looking forward to this day." Daiyu dug out the ginseng from the cabinet: "Let's go! Xiao Jiang, let's stew this ginseng."

"Is that what you're talking about?"

"Why isn't this a good thing? You've grown so big, have you ever eaten this? Today I'm going to make up for you and Qing Zhou."

Xiao Jiang was obviously a little disappointed, he didn't care that much about what he ate, and thought that Daiyu really left him something precious.

After the ginseng soup was stewed, Daiyu left a bowl for Xiao Jiang, and gave the remaining bowl to Lu Qingzhou.

Lu Qingzhou asked: "Don't you have any?"

"I'm in good health, so I don't need this." Daiyu thought that she had a godly physique, and she had drank the fairy dew from the sky, which was much better than ginseng soup.

"You are very thin. I think you need it more than I do. Why don't you drink it?"

"If you talk too much, I'm going to get angry. It was agreed yesterday. You and Xiao Jiang are half of each other. What are you doing?"

Seeing that Daiyu had said that, Lu Qingzhou didn't dare to say another word. He was afraid that he would really make Daiyu angry, so he silently took the soup and drank it down.

"That's right, drink it and you'll get well sooner."

"I feel more energetic day by day, and I have been able to walk several steps in the past few days."

Daiyu warned: "Don't be impatient, take your time, if you walk too much, you may affect the wound."

"It's okay, I know it."

As soon as Lu Qingzhou finished speaking, someone came to report: "It's not good, it's not good, something happened in the kitchen!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Qingzhou asked hastily.

"It's Xiao Jiang who is fighting with the chef!"

Both Daiyu and Lu Qingzhou were stunned. Xiaojiang was fine just now, so why did Daiyu start fighting with someone as soon as he turned his back.

Lu Qingzhou: "Quickly push me to have a look!"

Daiyu and her servants pushed the wheelchair to the kitchen together.

In front of him, Xiao Jiang and the cooking master were fighting each other, and they were fighting fiercely. Both of them practiced martial arts.

"Stop it!" Lu Qingzhou yelled, "What do you think I am here? This is a kitchen, not a training ground!"

Fortunately, both of them respected Lu Qingzhou and listened to him, so they immediately stopped.

Daiyu saw that the faces of both of them were bright, and said angrily: "They are both from the martial arts school. If you do something, you have to go to war. Isn't this killing each other?"

Xiao Jiang pointed at the chef and angrily blamed him: "He framed me for stealing ginseng soup!"

"What I saw with my two eyes, can it be fake? You just drank it secretly!" The cook did not show any weakness, "You are penniless, how can you still afford such a good ginseng?"

Daiyu was really speechless when she heard it, and explained to the chef: "You have wronged Xiaojiang too much. I just stewed the ginseng soup. One bowl is for Qingzhou and the other bowl is for Xiaojiang. He didn't drink it secretly."

The chef, who was glaring at the last second, wished to beat up Xiao Jiang violently, but now stood there in embarrassment, because he had always believed that Xiao Jiang couldn't afford ginseng soup.

Xiao Jiang was also defending himself: "I told you that it was Daiyu who made me drink it, but you still don't believe me! You must do it with me."

Lu Qingzhou stood aside with a cold face: "Quickly apologize to Xiao Jiang!"

The chef is also a big and thick guy, so he felt ashamed to ask him to apologize to Xiao Jiang, who was still a brat.But even so, he still knew that he had done something wrong: "Well...Xiao Jiang, I'm sorry, I blamed me for being too impulsive, wronged you, and even got into a fight with you. I'm so sorry."

Xiaojiang didn't expect that he would be beaten for no reason, and he had some resentment in his heart.But seeing the chef apologizing to Lu Qingzhou and Daiyu in front of him, if he didn't accept it, he would lose face to Lu Qingzhou.

Besides, even though he was injured, the other party didn't get any good money, so Xiao Jiang got a little more balanced: "Forget it, forget it, it's just a misunderstanding, just don't blame good people casually in the future."

"Oh, good boy. Just tell me what you want to eat in the future, and my brother will make it for you." The chef promised boldly.

To Xiao Jiang's surprise, the master chef turned into his elder brother under the pretext of pretending.

Lu Qingzhou also smiled at the chef: "Why, you still want to take my food and my kitchen for favors?"

The chef patted his head foolishly: "Hehehe, owner, you definitely won't mind. You treat Xiaojiang so well, like a brother. It's no big deal for him to eat a few extra meals."

After the chef said this, Lu Qingzhou couldn't say anything more, and the fight was resolved.

On the way home, Daiyu was afraid that Xiao Jiang would be worried about today's events. After all, he had no sense of belonging in Tokyo and was easily lost, so she took the initiative to enlighten him: "That cook is a casual person. Such a thing. It’s just that he is also a poor person. He grew up in Qing Zhou’s family. He has no father and no mother. The martial arts hall is his home, so Qing Zhou will never drive him away, don’t take it to heart.”

"He's the same person as me Don't worry, I've forgiven him, it's just the wound on my face, you have to heal me, otherwise how can I see Wanwan."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll find a doctor to prescribe the medicine for you, and it will definitely not affect your image in Wan Wan's heart."

"Don't laugh at me." For the first time, Xiaojiang showed his concern for Wanwan, but he was still very shy.

"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore, but it's not something shameful, it's human nature, and everyone is happy for you."

Xiaojiang solemnly thanked Daiyu: "Thank you for bringing me to Tokyo, thank you family and Mr. Lu for taking care of me, allowing me to know what my family looks like for the first time when I grow up...Thank you for letting me know you late Wan... When I go to the countryside next time, I will ask her if she would like to marry me."

"You don't need to thank me, this is what I promised you in the frontier. However, you can't ask Wanwan directly. She is a delicate girl, so how dare she talk about such things directly. Since ancient times, parents ordered matchmakers to speak It's the most formal." Daiyu thought for a while, "Well, I'll be your matchmaker, and I'll go to the old village head later, see Wan Wan's parents again, and see what they mean. If they all agree , let's go to her house to give a betrothal gift!"

Xiao Jiang was so moved that he couldn't express it. He didn't expect Daiyu to plan so much for him: "Okay, I will do as you please!"

Right now, Xiaojiang's lifelong affairs have become Daiyu's top priority.Two days later, she and Qiu'er's father went to the old village head.
