The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

The old mother hurriedly smiled and said, "This is Miss Miaoyu."

The woman glanced at the old mama, and seemed to be angry at her for talking too much. When she saw that there was only a little thing in the two small baskets, she smiled and said: "It's getting late, can you just pick this?"

Nan Chuan said politely: "I came here a few years ago, and I'm not familiar with the mountain roads, so I didn't pick much."

Miao Yu nodded and said, "You guys wait here."

Leaving only this sentence, the jade hand was withdrawn, the sedan chair was lifted up, and went to the nunnery in the mountain.

As time passed, the sun sank on the side of the mountain, and the overwhelming bright red covered the vast undulating mountains, shining on the faces of the two children.

"Brother, do you still have to wait?" Daiyu raised her head, blinking her eyes, she had been waiting for a long time, mother couldn't find them, she had to worry.

Nan Chuan said: "It looks like that sister is someone who is calculating, wait a little longer, if there is no news, we will leave."

Daiyu nodded, then shrank her neck suddenly: "Brother, I'm cold."

Nan Chuan hurriedly fastened the button under Daiyu's neck, tugged at her collar, and reprimanded: "I won't let you come, you insist on coming, and now you're yelling cold." Looking at Daiyu's white face, after thinking for a while, he quickly untied his little gown, revealing his clean white undershirt, and said with a smile, "Come on."

Daiyu posted it obediently, Nan Chuan put the two pieces of clothes together, hugged the little Daiyu in his arms, and asked, "Is it still cold?"

The boy's chest was like a small warm stove, Daiyu raised her head and said with a smile, "It's not cold anymore."

The setting sun is about to set, releasing the last splendor violently, the misty mountains and hills are all immersed in the golden yellow, the two children are warmly leaning on each other, Xiao Nanchuan is fascinated by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the younger Daiyu stays quietly In the warmer in front of his chest, only half of her small head and two small braids were exposed in the wide autumn robe.

After waiting for a while, still no one came, Nanchuan was afraid that Daiyu would be cold, and seeing that it was getting late, he decided to go home.

As soon as she lowered her head, she couldn't laugh or cry, she saw her soft body, her eyes were starry, half-open, her long eyelashes flickered slightly, and with her pink and delicate face, she looked even more pitiful and lovely.

Maybe it was too comfortable and warm, the little thing was about to fall asleep, when she heard Nan Chuan calling her home, Daiyu raised her eyebrows, nodded ignorantly, and followed with her head downcast, walking with one foot high and one foot low , I don't know where to go.

Walking like this, he would not be able to reach home for two days. Nan Chuan shook his head, and had to bend down, carry her on his back, and slowly descend the mountain.

Just as Xiao Jiexiang was leaving, suddenly there was a mother-in-law's cry behind her, and her footsteps followed closely.

Shouting in a hurry, even Daiyu was awakened, but saw a woman handing a small basket full of high-quality herbs to Nanchuan, wiped off her sweat, and said with a smile: "Our girl said, because It’s been a long delay for a little private matter, so please don’t take offense to my brothers and sisters.”

Nan Chuan saw that it was full of high-quality herbs, and if he alone picked them, he might not be able to get them in three days, so he liked it in his heart, and he respected that Miaoyu, so he quickly thanked him, and asked Daiyu to carry it because of his own inconvenience. , Daiyu said happily: "This sister is really kind, we will definitely come to thank her someday!"

The mother-in-law hurriedly laughed and said: "Our girls are only staying here for a few days. After these days, we still have to go back. If the girls come, wouldn't they be in vain?" forehead, smiled and said: "Yes, our girl also said that the two of you still met in Jinling, I actually missed this."

Daiyu tilted her head, feeling puzzled, Nanchuan also frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

After a moment of goodbye, Nan Chuan still went down the mountain with Dai Yu on his back, wondering what Miao Yu did and said all the way, when he arrived in the city, it was already dark, and the bearers heard that it was the young master of the Lin family, and they all scrambled to get her to marry him. There is no need to remember more when people send them back.

When they got home, the people at the door saw that they were the two of them, and they rushed up first and said: "Little ancestor, you are back. The master and wife have been waiting for a long time." He went straight to the courtyard and pouted.

At this time, the lights in the Lin Mansion were brightly lit, and all the servants held their breaths and lowered their heads cautiously. When Nan Chuan saw the battle, he knew that today's situation was serious, so he quietly led Daiyu into the hall, and saw Lin Ruhai drinking tea in the hall. They didn't even look at the two of them, Nan Chuan knew Lin Ruhai's temperament, it must be because the two of them came back late, he was annoyed, and he couldn't be like the usual scene when children are obsessed, and whispered: "Master, we are back."

Lin Ruhai hummed, and said, "What did you do?"

Nan Chuan lowered his head and said, "Go to the mountains to gather herbs."

Lin Ruhai put down the tea bowl, and told his side: "Go and get the bamboo ruler."

Although Daiyu was young, she knew what a bamboo ruler was for, so she hurriedly called out, "Daddy, brother and I are going to gather herbs for mother."

Not long after the ruler came, Lin Ruhai Fang said leisurely: "If you leave the house without telling the adults, you are disrespectful to your parents. This is one, and the other is that Yu'er is young, and you are only nine years old. People outside are dangerous. , in case you meet someone with ulterior motives, what should you say? What's more, there are no tigers, leopards, insects and snakes in the deep mountains and old forests, which hurt you, how can this little herb be enough? I beat you today, you are wronged ?”

Nan Chuan shook his head.

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "That's it." Frowning his thick eyebrows, he said sharply: "Don't go lie down there!"

Nan Chuan obeyed, anxious Dai Yu blushed, hurriedly ran to Lin Ruhai's side, shaking violently, almost crying: "Daddy, don't hit brother, it's Yu'er who pestered him to go out, it's Yu'er's fault, Daddy! "

Lin Ruhai didn't listen, and the side of the ruler crackled down. Seeing that her father didn't listen, Daiyu deflated her mouth and burst into tears. Lin Ruhai couldn't help being slightly embarrassed, so she had to hug her. Daiyu couldn't do it, her small fist Slamming on Lin Ruhai's body, he cried, "Daddy is bad, Yu'er doesn't like you anymore—"

I don't know who ran to tell him, but Jia Min came here in a hurry, pleaded for Nan Chuan, blamed Lin Ruhai for being indiscriminate, and said: "It's wrong, you should tell him, he has always been a smart boy, how can he be so easy?" Practice the family law? He is still young, how can he stand it?"

Lin Ruhai was originally angry because he was afraid that something dangerous would happen to the two of them. Seeing that he had hit him twenty or thirty times at this time, he couldn't bear it, so he pushed the boat along and said coldly: "Forget it, let's stop for now and lock him up in the backyard." Go to the fasting room, let him calm down and think about it! No supper is allowed." After speaking, he walked away.

He thought in his heart: Although the two of you went out rashly, it was out of sincerity, but after all, you are only such a young age. After walking for a day without even saying hello, don't you know how flustered you are as parents?What's more, herbal medicine is easy to get. If you brother and sister make any mistakes, even ten thousand gold can't make up for it. Nan Chuan, you have always acted cautiously and carefully. What you did now really made me angry!

The fasting room was not lit, and faint starlight poured in through the gaps in the wooden windows, and there were a few silver-white streaks on the ground. Nanchuan sat on the ground under the moonlight and ran for a long time. When he was on the mountain, he didn't feel it. Cooing, but the little boy didn't seem in the mood to care about hunger now, and he carefully pulled out a crumpled roll from the inside of his clothes.

It was a piece of paper. When he was carrying Daiyu down the mountain, he suddenly noticed it was quietly sandwiched among the herbs in his unsteady sight. If he didn't look carefully, it was almost undetectable.

Maybe it was Miaoyu who gave him an indescribable sense of mystery, and his intuition told Nanchuan that there should be something special in it.

He didn't tell Xiao Daiyu, the little boy just secretly took out the note and put it in his skirt when he came back in the sedan chair, as if nothing happened.

In the hazy night, you can see a few lines of beautiful small characters on the paper, Nan Chuan moved closer to the window, and put the handwriting close to the clear moonlight.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the silence, it was coming towards the small house, Nan Chuan listened carefully, and put the note into his arms first, the footsteps were so familiar, he hesitated, like a little rabbit, he didn't need to look at it know who.

"Brother, Yu'er is here." Daiyu could lower her voice, and took a lot of effort to move a small stool, stand on it, and raise her head so that she could barely poke her head out of the window.

Nan Chuan hurriedly said: "Why are you here? It's so cold. Father knows. It's not your fault if you don't see it."

Daiyu curled her lips: "I'm not afraid of dad. If he talks about me, I'll tell mom. Brother, do you hurt?" Her watery eyes fixed on Nanchuan.

Nan Chuan hurriedly laughed and said: "It doesn't hurt at all, they are just responding to a scene, how could they really fight?"

That's all for Daiyu, remembering something, she said with a smile: "Yu'er brought something good for brother."

Small white hands tremblingly stretched out from the crack of the window, it was a greasy paper bag, inside were two pieces of jade flower butter cake, and a few small kumquats, Daiyu smiled and said: "Mother and father are discussing things, no one Knowing that Yu'er is coming." Picking up a piece of cake, handed it to Nan Chuan's mouth: "Brother, you eat."

Nanchuan took a bite, Daiyu tilted her head and smiled, "Is it delicious?"

Nan Chuan touched Daiyu's cold face, nodded and smiled, "It's delicious."

Daiyu was very proud, her eyes narrowed into a crescent.

After delaying for a while, she suddenly heard voices from the east, Nan Chuan hurriedly urged her: "Good Yu'er, go back quickly, Dad will tell you after a while."

Daiyu groaned for a while, Fang reluctantly went down, Nanchuan watched Daiyu's small figure from the window until it disappeared into the moonlight.

After a while, Xiangyuan, a girl next to Jia Min, came in with a basket on her arm, followed by two nuns, one carrying a lantern and the other holding a quilt.

Xiang Yuan laughed softly: "The young master is hungry, here is the meal that the wife gave to the young master, the wife is afraid that you will be cold at night, so she asks you to bring a quilt. The master doesn't even know."

Everything was stuffed in through the window, Nan Chuan thanked them one by one, and Xiang Yuan didn't stay any longer, but he passed Jia Min's instructions and left.

Nan Chuan saw that the basket was full of exquisite food, and the nine-year-old child felt a warm current in his heart. Everyone was afraid that Lin Ruhai would know, but Lin Ruhai didn't know about Jia Min and Daiyu's temper?But pretending not to know.

That Xiangyuan sent the quilt to eat according to Jia Min's order, and went back to wait for the master to wash. Seeing the little girl Ling'er opened the curtain and waved at her, then pointed to the back room, Xiangyuan knew that Jia Min was gossiping with Lin Ruhai, and she didn't go in yet. , only went into the room over there to talk with Linger and others.

It turned out that Jia Min was still criticizing Lin Ruhai for beating Nan Chuan at night: "Seeing that he takes care of Yu'er on weekdays, he is more attentive than you and me. Even if he made a mistake today, he can't really hit him. That child has a good face, and he is in his heart." Isn't it hard to get through? Besides, although he has been here for a few years, after all, he is not from our family, and now he is locked in that small room alone, facing the cold wind of the lonely moon, what do you think?"

Lin Ruhai argued for a while, but later, when she saw Jia Min's soft words, pink dimples were angry, and her heart was soft, she smiled and said: "Forget it, nothing, I just said that because I was angry for a while, and I'll shut him up for a while." How about asking someone to take him back after only a short while?"

Seeing that Jia Min stopped talking, he said with a smile: "I have a thought today. Because of the many trivial matters in the officialdom recently, I am often away, leaving only you people. It is so lonely and boring. I listen to people today. Speaking of which, this year’s Gusu Lantern Festival is going to be a big event, and even people from the outer cities want to come and see it. Yu’er often pesters me, saying that I’m going. Since that’s the case, why don’t we all go out to enjoy the lanterns at that time? The two children are fun to play, and secondly, they also let you relax, the family is bored in this room all day long, and they are bored when they are not sick."

In the past two or three years, Lin Ruhai has often gone out to entertain trivial matters in the palace, and his family members often get together less and leave more. When Lin Ruhai said this, Jia Min readily agreed and did not mention it.

And at this moment, when Lin Ruhai suggested that the whole family should watch the lanterns, in the distant small room, Nan Chuan read out the blurred handwriting on the note sentence by sentence under the cold moonlight, and his delicate eyebrows gradually frowned.
