Dai Yuxin says

Two yellow-brown wolfhounds rushed in from outside the door, with their mouths wide open and their blood-red tongues sticking out. They were eating and staring at the two women with fierce eyes, as if they would rush at once just waiting for the master's order. Go up and bite.

When the two women saw this, their faces turned pale with fright, their legs and feet became weak, and they hurriedly said, "Zicuckoo, if the wife is angry, don't blame us." As they spoke, they were so scared that they went out the door dripping with urine.

Xueyan clapped her hands with a smile and said, "I didn't expect sister Zijuan to be so stubborn."

"Following the girls at home, are you still afraid of them?" Zijuan smiled triumphantly, looking at the two wolfhounds, and wanted to reach out to pet them, but felt a little timid in her heart.

Ah Shan grabbed the wolf dog by the ear, pulled it to Zijuan, and said with a smile, "Dogs are the most loyal friends of human beings."

Zijuan stretched out his hands tremblingly to caress, and the two dogs bent down beside Zijuan meekly, gently touching Zijuan's hand with their tongues.

Xueyan couldn't help stretching out her hand and stroking the wolfdog's back. The wolfdog wagged its tail vigorously, with friendly eyes, Zijuan Xueyan completely relieved its fear.A few people were laughing and teasing the wolfdog, having fun.The maid outside came over to report: "Baozhu brought someone to give gifts, and she is now in the West Flower Hall in the front yard."

Xueyan looked at Zijuan and asked, "Do you want to wake up the girl?"

Zijuan wondered: "The girl just returned to her home last night, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. I heard her toss and turn. She didn't sleep well all night, and now she just fell asleep."

Hearing this, Ah Shan said distressedly: "Miss didn't sleep well last night, and now she finally fell asleep, so don't wake her up again. Baozhu is not an outsider, I will go and accompany her first, and you can talk later when the girl wakes up. "Speaking, regardless of Zijuan Xueyan, he led the two wolf dogs and went straight out.

Daiyu didn't wake up until noon. She opened her eyes to see Zijuan arranging her clothes, and asked with a smile, "What time is it?"

Hearing this, Zijuan turned her head and smiled, "It's almost noon, I've never seen a girl sleep so well."

Daiyu stretched out her quilt with both hands, and said with a smile, "No wonder people say that the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my grass nest."

"Baozhu is here to give gifts, and Ah Shan is talking with her in the small flower hall in the front yard." Zijuan whispered back, and Daiyu sat up, saying: "I just go back to my home, what are you doing as a gift?"

While helping Daiyu to dress, Zijuan whispered softly: "Living at home, reciprocity is inevitable."

Daiyu frowned when she heard this, and her heart felt like falling into an ice cellar when she thought of Jia's family, her only close relative.What they did was really inferior to my father's best friend, my fourth uncle, Shui Jing.

Speaking from the bottom of my heart, if it weren't for the consideration of my mother who died young, I really don't want to have any contact with the Jia family.

Daiyu ate something briefly, helped Zijuan to the small flower hall in the front yard, and saw two large nanmu boxes lying on the ground, and two pretty little girls standing beside them.

When Baozhu saw Daiyu coming in, she quickly stood up, came over with a smile and saluted, "Baozhu greets Miss Lin, this is a congratulatory gift from my master for the girl's housewarming." He presented the gift list with both hands, and Daiyu asked hesitantly: " Didn't you give me the congratulatory gift for the housewarming?"

"Oh, that was before going home, and this is after going home." Baozhu explained in a muddle-headed way.In the end, he himself felt that the more he said, the less clear he was, so he scratched his head and smiled, "Please accept it, Miss Lin. How can you think there are too many presents?"

Daiyu recalled what the old abbot said: "You may not accept other people's things, but the more rewards from the fourth master, the better." Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of the old abbot's words, she felt that she could not refuse, so she took the gift list and handed it to Rhododendron behind.

Baozhu stepped forward to open the boxes, and saw that one box was filled with exquisite clothing materials, and the other box was filled with jewelry, silk flowers, rouge, and gouache that girls like.

The two maids standing next to her generously came over and bowed down to Daiyu.

Daiyu took a step back, looked at them puzzled, and asked with a smile, "Are you..."

The two girls kowtowed and replied: "The master sent a servant to serve the girl, and the servant will be the girl's servant from now on."

Just as Daiyu was about to decline, Baozhu said with a smile: "My master said that Master Lin had devoted himself to the court and died young. As an old friend of Master Lin, he had the responsibility to take good care of Master Lin's orphan. So, he asked me to send Ten servants and two servant girls are at the mercy of the girl. I have handed over the ten servants to Ah Shan and sent them to the garden."

Ah Shan smiled at Daiyu: "Actually, our Yuyuan has the most loyal friend to guard the courtyard, and we don't need any servants. Baozhu forced ten servants, and I let them sit in the west wing, and make a decision when the girl arrives." .”

Daiyu heard what Ah Shan said, knowing that Ah Shan has always been reliable in his work, she said with a smile: "I have received a lot of kindness from my fourth uncle, how can I ask my fourth uncle to spend so much money?"

Baozhu laughed and said: "Miss, don't say that. When Master Lin was alive, he helped my master a lot in laying the foundation. My master knew it well. Let alone giving Miss Lin this little thing, it would be thousands of times more. To my master, it's just a drop in the bucket."

Daiyu also asked Ah Shan to inquire carefully about this rich and powerful Shui Jing, and Ah Shan also inquired carefully for a long time.

In the end, he told himself that no one named Shui Jing was found in the list of officials in the capital.

Ah Shan once tried to ask Baozhu about the origin of the water mirror, but Baozhu was very cautious and did not reveal anything.It is only vaguely revealed that Shui Jing is a member of the royal family, and ten years ago he was on an errand in the south of the Yangtze River. Master Lin can be regarded as Shui Jing's subordinate, and he can also be said to be Shui Jing's confidant.

Ah Shan said that according to his observation and analysis, Shui Jing is extremely decent and reliable, and can be trusted.

Daiyu thought that she didn't have much contact with Shui Jing, so she was rescued on the Lantern Festival and played chess in the temple twice.

Shui Jing never showed up after playing chess in the temple, but his follower Bao Zhu came to look for Ah Shan every other day.

Baozhu is vigilant and lively, has high martial arts skills, and is about the same age as Ah Shan. She treats the Lin family's matters big and small without exception.

Ah Shan felt that Baozhu was a useful talent, and he was very happy to make friends with Lulutong in the capital. After a short time, Baozhu and Ah Shan seemed to have really become close friends.

Things in the world are often so strange. Some people get along for a long time, and it is impossible to become friends. Some people only meet once, but they will become lifelong confidants.

Daiyu and Shui Jing only had a brief conversation twice, but she could feel that Shui Jing's heart, bearing, and knowledge were extraordinary.He is like a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, not only makes people feel that they can be relied on, but also makes people feel very safe and completely trustworthy.

However, the life experience in Jia's house left eternal scars in Daiyu's heart.

She often thinks: If the close relatives are like this, what about others?
