Dai Yuxin says

Zijuan came in rubbing her hands, and said with a smile: "We have all the pots, bowls, ladles and spoons in the west ear room. There are a lot of firewood and coke piled up in the shed in the backyard, and there are two small stoves. I lit the fire in the morning and boiled two pots of water. "

As Zijuan was talking, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard. It turned out that it was the little novice who brought breakfast.

The master and servant finished their breakfast absent-mindedly. Daiyu returned to her bedroom, took out 200 taels of silver bills from her purse, sat on the edge of the kang, thought for a while, and then put the 100 taels back into her purse.

What happened in Jia's mansion forced the young Daiyu to be more careful about people and things.

Many story books and play books say that money should not be exposed, otherwise unexpected disasters will happen, and the three masters and servants have to be more careful.

Just as the old abbot spread out the scriptures, Daiyu walked in with Xueyan in his arms.

"Good morning Miss Lin, did you rest well last night?" the old abbot asked kindly, examining Daiyu with his eyes, trying to figure out why Daiyu came here.

Daiyu smiled, took out the bank note, and said sincerely: "My father left a house for the little girl before his death. The servants are repairing it. The little girl wants to stay in Guibaosha for a while. This is a 100 tael silver note. Respecting the Buddha's lamp oil money, the little girl should take care of her own living expenses during this period, so she won't bother the master in the future."

The old abbot praised sincerely: "What a self-respecting and self-loving girl! In fact, it is an honor for us monks to help the girl. This temple was originally built with the funds of the former empress dowager. It is considered a royal temple. It is very quiet and safe. .Girl, just live here with peace of mind, don't worry too much."

Daiyu thanked the old abbot, and returned to the Yinfeng Pavilion, and saw that there were many things stored in the east ear room, and a Guqin was placed in the most conspicuous place.

Daiyu couldn't help itching her hands, so she ordered Xueyan to move them out, put them under the plum tree, burn incense and wash her hands, and sat down to fiddle with them.

A beautiful and mournful piece of music flowed out from under her slender fingers like gurgling water.

The white clouds above the head stopped flowing, and the birds on the plum trees stopped singing. Everything was so quiet, as if they were holding their breath and listening to the fairy music.

Zijuan sat on one side and watched quietly, while Xueyan stood on the side, watching Daiyu's slender and white fingers plucking the strings deftly, she couldn't help feeling ups and downs and burst into tears.

After playing a song, Zijuan stepped forward to hold Daiyu's little hand, and persuaded softly: "Girl, take a rest, be careful when your hands are cold."

"In the past, I felt exhausted at every turn, and I often fell ill, which made you and Xueyan worry about me. Since I escaped from the dead last time, I didn't ask a doctor to take medicine, but my body is getting better and better. Now , I don’t feel cold at all.” Daiyu stood up as she spoke, looked at the sky with clear eyes, and smoothed her wind-blown hair with her hands while smiling.

Xueyan tidied up the incense burner, Zijuan helped Daiyu and said with a smile: "Those people in Jia's house made the girl think about it."

Daiyu nodded and smiled, and followed Zijuan into the room, thinking to herself: "Yes, it's good to see clearly, it will be much easier if you understand things."

"Girl, Ah Shan won't arrive until a while, why don't you lie down for a while. You were frightened yesterday, and you didn't sleep well all night." Zijuan poured a glass of water for Daiyu, and said, "Girl, drink some water to keep you warm." warm."

Xueyan came in and reported: "Miss, Master Shui's attendant Baozhu has arrived, and he has brought a lot of things."

Daiyu pondered, "Let him in."

Baozhu is about 20 years old, with a white face and a very clever appearance.

When he entered the door, he saw Daiyu take her head and bowed, and said in his mouth: "The villain Baozhu greets Miss Lin. My master originally wanted to come and visit the girl in person, but there are too many things to do, so he can't leave for a while. I want the girl to stay in the temple alone. , I didn't bring anything I needed when I went out, so I picked some up myself and asked the villain to send it to the girl.

My master said that he and Master Lin were very close back then, and Master Lin helped him with many things.Today, the untimely death of Master Lin is really a great loss for the community, and my master regrets it very much.My master said that the matter of the girl will be the matter of my master in the future, so Miss Lin must not see it. "

Daiyu declined and said, "Thanks to Master Shui for saving me last night, the little girl will never forget it. Master Shui is so kind, the little girl really dare not take it anymore, please take it back. I have asked the master in the temple to inform my old servant of the Lin family , If you need anything, I will send it from my old servant of the Lin family. Please tell Master Shui, please rest assured, I am very grateful for his kindness in helping you." Every time Daiyu talked about the Lin family, she bit her words very hard.

Baozhu scratched her ears and cheeks, her face flushed with anxiety, and insisted: "If Miss Lin doesn't accept it, how can I go back to see my master?" Seeing him like that, it seemed that Daiyu didn't accept the things, so he just lingered and refused to leave.

When the quarrel was over, the old abbot came with the little novice. Seeing this, he smiled and persuaded Daiyu: "If you are twice as old, your father will take care of you. If you are ten years old, your brother will take care of you. If you are five years old, you will take care of your brother." Follow your shoulders. Master Shui is your father's old friend, you are more than twice as old as you are, and you are bestowed by the elders, so you dare not say goodbye."

Daiyu's eyes were moist, and her voice was hard: "Master taught you very well. It's just that the little girl has lived in her grandmother's house for many years, and she suffered a lot last night. Thanks to Master Shui's help, the little girl has no way to repay this kindness. How dare she repay her kindness?" Receive another generous gift?"

Baozhu was like a red-eyed rabbit, and hurriedly said: "Miss Lin, how can the Jia family compare with my master? There is no reason to take back the things my master gave me. Please accept it, otherwise the villain I can't afford to kneel forever." Saying this, Baozhu really knelt down in front of Daiyu with tears in her eyes.

Daiyu was so panicked that she hurriedly backed away and shouted, "Don't do that!"

The old abbot laughed and said: "The monks don't chatter, and other people's things may not be accepted. The more things from Master Shui, the better. Miss Lin, listen to the old monk and accept it."

Facing Baozhu's persuasion by the respected old abbot of the royal temple who could not afford to kneel, Daiyu smiled helplessly and said: "Master said so, it would be hypocritical for a little girl to refuse. Zijuan, put away things for the time being. It was kept for a friend."

Baozhu happily clasped her fists and said, "Thank you Miss Lin for being considerate of the villain."

Daiyu blushed slightly, and said meaningfully: "Baozhu, please tell Master Shui that the little girl is very grateful and hopes that one day, she can honor him like a daughter."

Baozhu was startled when she heard this, blinked her eyes, then nodded and said, "Definitely, definitely."

The old abbot's eyes showed admiration, and he smiled and said, "Miss Lin, I would like to play a few games with you when I have time."

Xueyan clapped her hands and laughed, "Okay, our girl has never met an opponent, so this is great."

Daiyu blushed, cast a white look at Xueyan, and said coquettishly, "What kind of person is Master, I just ask him for advice."

The little novice brought Ah Shan here.

It's just that after a short time, Daiyu saw that Ah Shan seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and had two strange eyes, one big and one small, red as if they were about to bleed.

When he saw Daiyu, he walked up to Daiyu quickly with two bow legs, one long and one short, jolting up and down, and asked with a sob: "How is the girl?"

Daiyu was a little surprised and asked, "Ah Shan, are you sick?"

Ah Shan went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion at night and found that Daiyu's master and servant were not there. He felt very bad, so he immediately started searching.

He searched Jia's house inside and out, but he couldn't find Daiyu.Distraught, he conducted a blanket search centering on Jia's mansion. After searching all night, he did not find any trace of Daiyu.

In desperation, he returned to Jade Garden, arranged tasks for the garden repair staff, and was thinking about how to find Daiyu in the next step. When the monk from Guangyuan Temple came to ask him to come and see Daiyu, his heart was considered stable.

Ah Shan can only keep these words in his heart, and he will not say them even if he is killed.

Daiyu's sincere concern moved him to tears. The man burst into tears, but Ah Shan burst into tears, with tears hanging on his face and a smile in his eyes. He patted his chest and said, "I'm not sick. I'm in good health." Very, don’t believe me, look.” Ashan said while jumping up and down for Daiyu to see.

Seeing Ah Shan's funny appearance, Baozhu couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing.

Xueyan glared at him fiercely, curled her lips and said, "A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured. Please don't underestimate our Ah Shan, he is very capable."

Seeing that the old abbot was staring at Ah Shan intently, Daiyu introduced: "Master, this is Ah Shan, my old man, very smart and capable, and treats me very well."

The old abbot smiled kindly, and said casually: "The true monarch hides his true form, endures hardships, finds a friend in the world, and ends his righteous heart."
