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

Uncle Lin wanted to send someone to send his cousin back to his hometown, at least to pay respects to the grave of his deceased uncle, which was considered as a son of man.Unexpectedly, when his cousin heard that he was going back to his hometown, he refused to die, and just lay down on the chair: "Why don't you kill me, I'm not going anywhere anyway."

Uncle Lin and his wife can't help it, they can't really drive him out to live on the street. He used to be out of reach of the Lin family in other places, and he just slept in the open air. I have to give this elder brother a retirement pension, alas, thinking about it gives me a headache.

On this day, the crazy uncle flicked his hands after eating as usual, and went out shopping.Usually he doesn't come back until lunch time, and the Lin family doesn't know what he goes shopping all day, so he's full of energy and doesn't feel tired.But this time before it was time for lunch, the crazy uncle came back bluffing and kept saying to Daiyu: "That big fool, the big fool in the store... is fighting with people on the street La!"

Daiyu was baffled by what he said, what an idiot, it's none of her business to fight outside, so she didn't care, she just cared about her own affairs.Unexpectedly, this uncle refused to give up, and kept saying: "Go and persuade the fight!"

Daiyu said angrily: "It's none of my business when others fight, don't you see that I'm busy, you go aside, don't block my work!"

"Oh..." The crazy uncle took the spatula from Daiyu's hand and threw it aside, pulled her and ran outside.Daiyu was angry in her heart, and wanted to curse, but she had no choice but to restrain herself, who told this person to be an elder, and she couldn't make her father feel uncomfortable if she didn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha.

Daiyu followed the insane uncle to the gate of Chen's Cloth House on West Street, but saw Zhang Dali was arguing back and forth with a woman, Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to try to persuade them to fight.Daiyu's jaw dropped from shock at the scene in front of her. The woman who fought with Zhang Dali had the same face as Sister Bao's!Daiyu couldn't help calling out: "Sister Bao..."

The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard Daiyu's voice, but Zhang Dali took the opportunity to knock her down on the ground.Zhang Dali also wanted to step forward to give him a kick, but was stopped by Daiyu Limara: "What are you doing with her girl!"

The insane uncle also stopped Zhang Dali from being impulsive: "You idiot, it's not good to hit someone!" It turned out that he thought Zhang Dali was tall and burly, so he called him an idiot.

Zhang Dali is also a little girl. Seeing that Daiyu and the crazy uncle were protecting strangers, he felt aggrieved, tears streaming down his face, pointing to the girl who fell on the ground, he said, "I want to buy a horse for Daiyu." She wanted to snatch the best fabrics for clothes from me, and even satirized me, a country girl, for not being worthy of wearing such fine fabrics."

Daiyu helped the girl up, and said to Zhang Dali: "I know what you mean, but you shouldn't do anything, look how frightened this girl is."

Daiyu apologized to the girl again: "My sister is rude, please forgive me. I don't know her boudoir's name and where she lives. I will take you home."

Fortunately, the girl was not much shorter than Zhang Dali, so she didn't suffer any injuries. She only told Daiyu: "My surname is Xue, and my name is Baochai. Xue Rong is my father." Sister Bao was reincarnated?But the girl Xue in front of her doesn't seem to know Daiyu, she doesn't have the memory of her previous life like Daiyu.

Countless thoughts flooded Daiyu's heart, but on the surface she still pretended to be a normal person. She had to help Zhang Dali deal with this terrible matter. She was beating an official woman. If Miss Xue really cares about it, Dali might go to prison meal.

Daiyu also introduced herself: "My name is Lin Daiyu, and I am the shopkeeper of Lin's barbecue shop. This Dali is my sister. She is really young and ignorant. I hope that Miss Xue will forgive me. I will visit her someday and bring her Go and plead guilty."

Xue Baochai is an official girl, so of course Lin Daiyu has heard of her name. How could she dare to offend Princess Xiaoxiang, the righteous sister of the late emperor?Xue Baochai had taken a fancy to the piece of fabric that was very suitable for her, but Zhang Dali refused to let go, so the two began to wrestle, who knew that the backer behind Zhang Dali was actually the princess, a little daughter of a judge, Surely you can't fight against the princess, you can only turn your hostility into friendship and greet Daiyu with a smile.

"The princess is serious. We are just joking around. It's not a big deal. Miss Dali likes to just take this material, and I'll just pick something else."

Seeing that Xue Baochai no longer cares about it, Daiyu was really relieved, and then gave her a wink: "Quickly make up for Miss Xue."

Zhang Dali knew that Daiyu was doing it for her own good, so he held back his anger and said to Xue Baochai, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Xue Baochai said generously: "It's okay." She handed the materials to Zhang Dali, "I have something to do at home, I'll go first."

After Xue Baochai left, Daiyu asked Dali distressedly: "Does it hurt?"

Zhang Dali shook his head.The insane uncle also said beside him: "You are so stupid, so stupid, look at how smart that Miss Xue is, she won't offend anyone."

Daiyu: "It's hard for you to miss me and be bullied by such a person. I protect you in my heart. But if you didn't hold your head down just now, give that Miss Xue some face, I'm afraid she will sue the officials and treat you badly." good."

Zhang Dali: "Sister, I know your intentions, but I was too impulsive to say a few words."

Daiyu: "Just know you made a mistake, and just don't make it next time. Let's go home."

There were too many customers in the store, and everyone didn't bother to talk about what happened just now, so they all went to do their own business. Of course, except for the crazy uncle, he would go back to his room and sleep soundly if he stopped wandering outside, even if the Lin family was busy. It was so overwhelming that it was as if he couldn't see it.

Zhang Dali felt that he had suffered a disadvantage, so he was a little depressed. It was obvious that the surname Xue hurt others first, but he had to apologize in the end. Wasn't it because her father was a passer and bullied ordinary people.

Dong Niu didn't know what was going on outside, and let Dali do this and that as usual, Zhang Dali vented his anger on the pots and pans in his hand, and accidentally used too much force, the spatula smashed a big hole in the pot, The dish being fried in the pot fell into the pile of firewood along the hole, and the dish was considered useless.

"What are you doing!" Dong Niu hurriedly extinguished the fire in the stove, fearing that the fire would burn out along the hole.

Daiyu was chopping vegetables, when she saw that Dali had caused trouble again, she pulled her aside, but did not reprimand her: "You go back to the house and rest, we will clean up here."

Dong Niu complained while tidying up: "Everyone is like their ancestors, and they all have to be provided by our family. Are they still working?"

Fortunately, Zhang Dali left, otherwise he would be sad when he heard this.Daiyu signaled Dong Niu not to complain, and then told Zhang Dali about fighting with others, hoping Dong Niu could understand that Dali was in a bad mood and not care about her.

Although Dong Niu has a firecracker temper, after listening to Daiyu's explanation, she also understands that Dali was bullied outside.

Daiyu: "Not to mention bullying. I see that girl from Xue's family was injured more than Dali, and she didn't say a word. In short, it's best to calm things down, and there's no need to make enemies."

Dong Niu was very puzzled: "You said that our family is provoking someone, but why are there living Bodhisattvas here, who don't let people live in peace for a moment."

Daiyu knew that Dong Niu's words also included the crazy uncle, this uncle was probably more troublesome than Dali, and Dong Niu and his wife might have to bear the responsibility of their nephew and take care of him until the end of his life, so Dong Niu complained a lot. "Let them go, the mind is settled, even if we talk about it, it won't help." Daiyu comforted her.

Dong Niu didn't say anything more, since she entered the Lin family's door, she naturally wanted to stand with the family, so it's hard to say that she was too much like a resentful woman.

The next day, Daiyu prepared jade pendants, round fans, embroidered handkerchiefs and other things as gifts, and asked Zhang Dali to go with her to Tongsan Xue's house to apologize.She promised yesterday that she would come to visit her, not to break her promise, and to resolve the Xue family's resentment, by the way, to find out if this Miss Xue is the same as her former sister Bao.

Tongpan is just an ordinary fifth-rank official, so the mansion is not considered luxurious. It cannot be compared with Jing'an Palace, Pingyuan General's Mansion, Ouyang Mansion, etc. Daiyu has seen before, but it has its own unique charm.

After being informed by the servants, Daiyu and Dali were ushered into the main hall to sit down, and the adults and wife of the Xue family paid their respects.Master Xue never dreamed that his small Tongjuan Mansion could welcome the princess, and he was overjoyed.

Daiyu opened her mouth and asked, "Is Miss Xue at home?"

Mrs. Xue hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, what is the princess looking for the little girl?"

It seems that the Xue family and his wife didn't know what happened yesterday, otherwise they wouldn't ask questions knowingly.Daiyu: "I got acquainted with Miss yesterday, and I promised to visit today. Please come out and see Miss."

Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked her servants to invite Baochai.

Xue Baochai did not expect that Lin Daiyu was so trustworthy that she came here specially and brought some gifts.

Daiyu asked Dali to hand over all the things to Baochai: "They are all worthless gadgets, I hope Miss Xue will accept them."

"Princess is too polite. You are a guest when you come to the door. Why do you need to bring any presents?" Baochai also greeted her politely.

Daiyu winked at Dali, and Dali hurriedly apologized to Xue Baochai again: "Miss Xue, I was wrong yesterday, you don't remember the villain's mistakes, I hope you don't have the same experience as me for the sake of the princess. " Zhang Dali finally got enlightened under Daiyu's persuasive guidance. She knew that she was alone in Tokyo, and she couldn't easily make enemies, especially not to have anything to do with officials, otherwise, if they retaliated against her, it would be more harm than good.

Xue Baochai still had a calm and magnanimous look: "Oh, I already talked about it yesterday, so it's fine. You and I don't know each other. We will be friends from now on."

With Xue Baochai's words, Daiyu's goal has been achieved, helping Dali reduce an enemy in Tokyo.

In her previous life, Daiyu had complicated feelings for Sister Bao, including jealousy, gratitude, envy, and helplessness.Coupled with the involvement of the marriage between wood and stone and the good fate of gold and jade, she and Sister Bao can even be regarded as rivals in love, but this war did not ignite the flames head-on, and was manipulated and even finalized.

However, Daiyu has not yet figured out what kind of temperament Xue Baochai is in front of her. She just thinks that she can live in peace. After all, Xue Baochai is the second old friend she met in this life. His Majesty's biological mother——Concubine Xian.

Daiyu was full of thoughts, but no one saw it on her face, Master Xue was still trying to curry favor with Daiyu: "The princess will stay here today for a simple meal, and she has the right to be a filial piety to my Xue family."

Daiyu shrugged off: "Sir, I have a lot of business at home, so I can't bother you any more. I'm going back now. Your lord and madam can come to my shop if you have time. I have fine wine and food to entertain you."

Master Xue: "Okay, okay, okay, I heard that the dishes at the princess's house are extremely delicious. When I am free, I will definitely go with my family."

Daiyu and Zhang Dali bid farewell and went home.

After Daiyu left, Xue Baochai said unhappily to her father: "Father, you are a scholar. Where is the proud literati style in the past? Why do you keep fawning on Lin Daiyu, making it seem like our family owes her something?" It's like, you figure it out, they owe me!"

Lord Xue coaxed his daughter with an apologetic smile on his face: "Who would let someone be a princess? Although the late emperor is gone, it is said that His Majesty is still very fond of her today. What she said is much more useful than what the prefect said. Our family is in Tokyo. I don't have any powerful backing, maybe in the future your father and I will rely on her to provide some advice for our future! So we will come and go with her often in the future, so that others will know that my Xue family is no longer helpless. "

Xue Baochai prides herself on being noble and clean, and she disdains what her father said: "Obviously I was beaten in the street, but you still look very happy, like you picked up a treasure. You don't think about me at all!"

"Bao'er, I'm just a girl like you, and I'm all for your future. If your father and I have been a small judge, then you can only betroth a child of a small official's family in the future. Are you willing to do so?" Master Xue said again, "Do you know who is Lin Daiyu's future husband? He is General Jingyuan of the current dynasty, a young talent who is proficient in everything. If you also want such a good marriage, a father can only climb up desperately..."

Xue Baochai was not reconciled, she was not inferior to Lin Daiyu in terms of appearance and intelligence, but she did not have such a good opportunity to be appreciated by the late emperor.

Mrs. Xue also put her arms around her daughter and talked earnestly: "Your father's plan is correct. Our family has a shallow foundation, and we have to hug a big tree to live well. I think that Lin Daiyu has a good impression of you. You will spend more time with her in the future." Walk around, maybe she can give you a hand, and find you a princess, princess or something, isn't that a great fortune?"

"Mother, you put it lightly, do you think Lin Daiyu really has such a big face? Maybe it's just the gold and jade, who knows how many dirty accounts she has in private."

Mrs. Xue quickly covered her daughter's mouth with her hands: "You can't talk nonsense about these words. If they are arranged by someone with a heart, our family will suffer. You just listen to your mother, so that you can get along with her, and it will be in your interest to keep it in the future."
