[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

Chapter 10

Of course, there is also a particular about giving things. Handkerchiefs, accessories, rouge and gouache, it seems that the relationship is ambiguous.

But if you send some precious medicinal materials, and then some rewarding materials, that would be thoughtful and considerate.

When the box was opened, Daiyu saw these things.

Daiyu was startled, she really didn't expect that anyone else would send things to Rongguo Mansion.

"Is it father?" Daiyu looked up at Parrot.

Brother Parrot shook his head: "It was brought from the second master's yard."

"Uncle?" Daiyu was startled again.

She is not close to the two uncles, she has not seen each other several times, and she has not spoken a few words.The first uncle was impatient when he saw her, and the second uncle was serious and rigid when he saw her. Gradually, Daiyu felt a little apprehensive about them.

How come it's so good, the second uncle even sent something?

Could it be that my aunt made the decision?

Brother Ying was also dumbfounded: "It shouldn't be, but the second master didn't say it clearly."

Xueyan on the side opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but then she remembered the instructions from that day, she carefully glanced at the people around her, and finally closed her mouth first.

After all, there is no rush to say it at this moment.

"Let's put it aside for now," Daiyu said.

She is not interested in these things, after all, the Gusu Lin family is not a small family, nor is she new to the world.

It's just that I feel a little grateful for this friendship, so I want to take a closer look later.

Parrot responded and asked the maids to put down the boxes before leading the people back out.

As soon as they left, Xueyan walked up to Daiyu's side.

"Won't the girl take a look?"

Xueyan has been a lot more reticent recently, and Daiyu seldom saw her take the initiative to speak out, so she couldn't help being slightly surprised at this time, nodding her head while reaching for the things in the box.

Said: "I don't know who it is..."

Only then did Xueyan have a free moment, and said in a low voice: "I guess it should be my elder brother's master?"

"The Uncle Shi?" Daiyu asked.

While speaking, Daiyu had already taken out a brocade box from inside.

The brocade box is more delicate than the outside box, with jade clasp, it looks very valuable.

Daiyu unbuttoned it and flipped the lid, but what she found was some broken silver and gold pegs.There is also a letter under it.

"This is..." Daiyu caressed the silver coins with her fine white fingers, and was stunned again: "What is it for?"

Xueyan thought for a while: "Is it for rewarding people? I heard from people in the mansion that the masters treat their servants very generously, and often reward some broken silver and gold coins. If anyone is rewarded, That’s very honorable. It’s said that there are people out there who treat the golden scorpions in the mansion as precious treasures.”

Daiyu was slightly surprised: "It was originally for this purpose."

My mother never mentioned these things to her before she was alive, so she was very unfamiliar.

Xueyan smiled and said: "It's the same as my elder brother, his master is a good man."

Daiyu nodded, quite agreeing.

Especially after experiencing the Rongguo Mansion's seeming love in every possible way, but actually lacking many thoughtful and thoughtful actions, I feel a lot of ironing in my heart.

It's just that I don't know which uncle the other party is.

Thinking so, Daiyu picked up the letter and opened it, unfolding the letter paper in two or three strokes, and lines of clear and handsome words came into view.

In fact, it is too familiar!

Daiyu's eyes widened slightly.

After she took a closer look, her heart beat unconsciously, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She clutched the letter paper to her chest, and then she came back to her senses, whispering to Xue Yan, "Bring the candlelight."

Xueyan nodded, without asking any further questions, she went straight to fetch the candlestick.

Daiyu glanced at the letter paper again, it had just been ignited with a fire, and after it was completely burned, it was thrown into the stove, and there was no trace of it.

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and only then felt a little more relaxed.

The things were not sent by Shishu, but by that elder brother.

He is only a few years older than her, and if others look at him, they will never be able to tell.

"Girl." Parrot's voice approached the door.

Daiyu hurriedly handed the box to Xueyan to put it away, and then she responded in a low voice.

"Second girls are waiting for you to go over."

"Okay, I'm here now." Daiyu got up, held the stove in her palm, and somehow felt a lot more settled in her heart.

When she reached the door, Daiyu asked again: "How is cousin?"

"It's better to lie down for a few more days."

Daiyu didn't know why, she was in a good mood at this time, and said: "My cousin is sick, I should go to see him sometime."

Brother Ying nodded, but he always felt that Miss Lin's words seemed alienated.

You should go see it.

It was only as if he was forced by that kinship and etiquette.

Parrot didn't say anything after all, she remembered what others had mentioned to her.

No matter how capable a girl is, she must be loyal to her master before she can be called capable.Now that Miss Lin is her master, she naturally has to take the big prize in front of the girl...

Daiyu was still thinking about going to see Jia Baoyu another day.

But when she entered the garden, apart from a few sisters, she also saw Baoyu who was smiling and talking with the maid.

Daiyu pursed her lips, it was difficult to go forward.

Not far away stood a girl with slender shoulders and a thin waist.

The girl turned around, hugged Daiyu, and said with a smile, "Why are you staying there silently?"

Only then did Daiyu call in a low voice: "Third sister."

This girl is in Tanchun.

"Miss Bao is also here, so I thought of inviting you over to have a chat together." Tanchun said.

Daiyu had already heard some gossip that she was no closer and gentler than Miss Bao, who just came to the mansion, and that she couldn't look into others, so that she didn't want to be close to others.

After all, Daiyu was not very old, and when it came to Baochai, she felt a little awkward in her heart, so she unconsciously grasped the hand stove in her palm even tighter.

Tanchun went in without knowing it, and led Daiyu to go forward. After walking a few steps, he heard Baoyu talking to someone.

"I've met that young master before. Even his father praised him for his literary talent and intelligence."

Then I heard the servant girl ask again: "How do you look?"

"He looks even better. He is taller than Xue Pan and I, and has a very good stature. His facial features are also good. Such a character makes people want to be close to him, but also makes people afraid."

"why?"

"It's frightening to look at, and you obviously smile, but in front of him, you behave yourself." When Baoyu said this, Xu felt a little ashamed after all, so he stopped talking.But the look of admiration in his eyes has not gone yet.

Jia Baoyu didn't like reading, because he always felt that those who read too many sage books were pedantic and stupid, and had no aura in their bones.

He doesn't like men even more, and always feels that men are not as clean as his daughter's house.

He is also the only seedling in the family, and there is usually no one who can make him look up to.

Now the son couldn't help feeling that if he had a powerful elder brother, he should look like that son.

……

Daiyu stopped, listened for a while, and vaguely heard that what Jia Baoyu was talking about seemed to be that elder brother.

But, is that elder brother the number one scholar in the current subject that Xue Yan said?

I haven't seen you for a few years, so is it so amazing?

"But Miss Lin is here?" Suddenly heard a voice asking.

Daiyu looked over, and saw that she was a girl with almond eyes, plump appearance, and elegant manners. She was wearing a honey-colored dress, and she didn't wear any extra hairpins. The color was half new and not old, and there was no luxury at all.

The girl took the initiative to come forward, and she didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, but she made people feel that her gesture was intimate.

"It can be regarded as seeing Miss Lin." She said with a smile.

"Sister Bao." Daiyu called out first, and then said, "I'm generally weak, so I seldom go out, because I'm afraid of the cold air."

Baochai was slightly surprised: "Did you invite a doctor?"

"Please, start taking medicine after peeing."

Baochai laughed and said, "I always take medicine, too."

Hearing this, Baoyu asked, "What kind of medicine did Sister Bao take? It should be prepared by the mansion."

"My medicine is not easy to mix. In the past, the doctors didn't like it at all. Later, a monk came and got a Haifangzi from somewhere, and gave a pack of medicine powder as a medicine. It has a strange smell. It's strange. It’s also strange, just take a pill when you’re sick and you’ll be fine.”

When Daiyu heard this, she was either amazed or curious.

Her medicine was brought by that brother, and it made her feel better than any medicine from the sea.

Baoyu asked again, "I don't know what kind of seaside it is?"

"There are limited ingredients for this recipe. You need 12 taels of white peony stamens in spring, 12 taels of white lotus stamens in summer, 12 taels of white hibiscus stamens in autumn, and 12 taels of white plum stamens in winter..."

Others were already amazed by what they heard, and they were very strange.

Baoyu thought of Daiyu again, so he turned around and asked, "What kind of medicine is Sister Lin taking? There is a prescription."

"It's just an ordinary pill." Daiyu lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "The old ancestor has already asked the mansion to prepare it."

In contrast, the medicine Daiyu took seemed ordinary, so naturally there was nothing to ask.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Baochai asked.

"Brought from the womb."

After Baochai listened to her words, she looked at her, but she saw that Miss Lin was not weak, and she also had a faint blush on her face, and she had a romantic attitude.

Then he laughed and said: "The doctor my sister hired must be very capable. My sister looks healthy now."

Daiyu was thinking about Heshen, when she heard this, she smiled, "Yeah."

"It just so happens that my cousin is here today." Daiyu turned her head and told Xueyan, "Go get the box on the table."

Baoyu was curious: "What is this for?"

"I'm going to give it to my cousin."

Baoyu seldom saw such a good face as Daiyu, so he was overjoyed, so he waited patiently.

Not long after, Xueyan came back holding a box.

"My cousin is sick, so I don't know what to give." Daiyu asked Xueyan to deliver the box.

Open it up and have a look.

A bystander said in amazement, "Ah, isn't this something rare from the sea?"

"Isn't it right in the ancestor's house?"

They have all seen it, but not everyone can hold it in their hands.There are few such things in the palace.

Daiyu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Is it rare?

This is exactly what the brother sent, but it's just one of them.
