The Fate of the Red Chamber

Chapter 23: The Family

From that day on, Lin Ruhai's health went from good to bad, Daiyu devoted herself to serving in front of the bed every day, not daring to take a step away, and Mo Han came to accompany him whenever he was free.

On September 23, the weather was rare and sunny.The father and son had lunch, and Lin Ruhai was in high spirits, saying that he would go outside to bask in the sun.Daiyu was overjoyed, her father's complexion was much better today than before, and he was so energetic, Daiyu thought it was a sign that her father was getting better soon, so she hurriedly directed the maids to do this and that.Only Mo Han knew clearly in his heart that he was afraid that the light would come back, and he would not point it out in the end.

Soon, the maids set up a glazed couch in the yard, a pair of carved red sandalwood tables, two mahogany armchairs, tea sets and refreshments were neatly arranged.A thick fox fur mattress was spread on the glazed couch, and Daiyu and Mohan walked slowly with Lin Ruhai in both hands, waited for him to recline, and took the brocade quilt to put on.

"The weather is fine today, and it's not cold. What are you doing covered?" Lin Ruhai smiled helplessly.

"Although the weather is sunny and warm, you can't be careless, good father, just bear with it." Daiyu pressed Lin Ruhai's hand that was about to push away the quilt, and complained with her lips pouting.

Lin Ruhai couldn't stand Daiyu's charming and innocent attitude the most, and didn't dare to worry her, so he could only withdraw his hand and sighed with a smile: "Yu'er is amazing now, even your father is under your docile control."

"That's right. My sister said I want to go east, but I dare not go west. My sister said I want to eat porridge, but I absolutely dare not eat. Father, we are both controlled by this little girl." Seeing that Lin Ruhai was in a good mood, Mo Han hurriedly put aside his worries and joked with him.

"Father, brother, you gang up to bully Yu'er, but Yu'er refuses." Daiyu blushed pretty, stomping her feet and turning her back.

"Does my sister think that my brother is not doing well? Does that mean that my sister wants me to go east in the future, and I have to go west?" The more she looked at Daiyu, the cuter she became, and Mo Han even wanted to tease her.

Sure enough, Daiyu turned around abruptly, staring and pouted: "Dare you, Daddy, look at my brother, he doesn't listen to Yu'er."

As if Mo Han had succeeded, he winked at Lin Ruhai playfully, and the maids and women all over the floor burst into laughter, they had never seen their uncle like this, he really looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

Daiyu was ashamed and angry, lying in Lin Ruhai's arms, unwilling to poke her head out, but she could see that the back of her neck was stained with rouge.

"Okay, Yu'er is not angry, Daddy will teach brother a lesson for you, and punish him not to eat dinner later." Lin Ruhai stroked Daiyu's soft black hair, very happy, Mo Han can treat Daiyu like this, he can feel at ease when he leaves .

"That can't be done. Daddy, my brother has to take care of so many things every day, how can I have strength if I don't eat." Daiyu quickly poked her head out, her eyes were full of eagerness.

"Well, it was Yu'er who asked daddy to punish your brother, why did you say no?" Lin Ruhai pretended to be at a loss.

Daiyu suddenly understood that it turned out that they were together to tease her. She frowned and then loosened her eyebrows, shaking her head and said: "Yu'er originally wanted to punish her brother, but she just saw his sincerity. Anyway, I'm a younger sister, so I just want to punish her." Let brother off this time."

Daiyu's very magnanimous appearance made everyone laugh even more, and Daiyu couldn't hold back and laughed along with her.

"Yes, what my sister said is absolutely right. If I was really wrong, how about punishing me to make a pot of tea to honor my father and sister?" The young man sitting proudly, incomparably handsome and beautiful under the autumn sun, wearing a jade-colored robe Gentle as if dripping water.

"Yu'er, your brother's ability to make tea is not easy, we are lucky today."

Because of the short time since her return and being busy with trivial matters all day, Daiyu only knew that Mohan, the housekeeper, was the leader in dealing with everyone, but she didn't know that he also had such an elegant side, so she couldn't help but become very interested.

"Master, the water is ready." The little six had already boiled water on the small stove on the side, and Mo Han always brought him to light the fire when making tea, so this kid has a good grasp of the temperature of the water.

Mo Han took Mrs. Tang, poured boiling water on the purple sand cups of the purple sand pot, then took a proper amount of tea leaves into the purple sand pot with a teaspoon, rushed into the boiling water, and quickly poured the tea into the three cups.But they didn't drink it for Lin Ruhai and the others, but just poured it out, it was warm tea.Then pour the water into the purple clay pot, and after a few sentences, pour the tea carefully, this is the tea for drinking.

Mo Han's movements are chic and elegant, and his expression is leisurely and content, which has a kind of interest other than tasting tea.Daiyu secretly sighed, it turned out that her elder brother was the real real person who didn't show his face, and what happened to him added another wonderful feeling of ease.In vain, I have always thought of myself as elegant, and I have a little understanding of poetry and painting, but I didn't expect that there was a real expert in front of me.

Lin Ruhai Daiyu took the tea bowl, the sweet and refreshing fragrance of the tea hit her face, she couldn't help taking a sip, it was smooth and sweet, extremely frivolous, and endless aftertaste.Repeatedly praised: "Good tea, good tea."

"Brother, is this the latest autumn tea this year?" People from all over the country love to drink spring tea, but when it comes to Tieguanyin, autumn tea has a rare taste, soft and long, with a strong flavor.Although Daiyu drank very little in the past, she tasted it in one sip.

"I really can't hide anything from my sister. That's right, I just got it from Wuyi Mountain yesterday from our family's shop." Mo Han smiled slightly, holding the tea bowl in a very elegant posture.

Lin Ruhai closed his eyes and drank the tea in the cup, and said to Daiyu with a smile, "Yu'er, then daddy is going to test you, do you know what kind of water this is?"

Daiyu took another sip and smiled knowingly: "If Yu'er guessed correctly, it should be the Hupao Spring in Hangzhou."

"Hehe, you little girl, you're not bad. I still remember the taste after so many years." Lin Ruhai laughed out loud. This was when Daiyu was four years old. Once, I don't want Daiyu to still remember it so clearly.

The three of them sipped tea and chatted, and they got along very well. After sitting for an hour, Lin Ruhai gradually felt sleepy, and unexpectedly fell asleep unconsciously.When Daiyu Mohan wanted to call him to rest in the room, Fang found that Lin Ruhai had already gone, with a peaceful smile on his lips.
