Daiyu reads novels every day

The previous article mentioned that Daiyu was learning calligraphy at the age of three, and later the Lin family hired a Xibin, but this person was from the same family as Daiyu's ancestral family, and his name was Jia Yucun.

This Jia Yucun was dismissed from his post and borrowed the help of his friends to make a living. The wonderful thing is that there is only one female student and two accompanying maids. , so it is very labor-saving.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jia, the mother of the female student, died of illness.Recently, because the female student was sad and injured, she was timid and sickly, and she violated the old disease, so she didn't go to school for several days.Living in Yucun is boring. Whenever the weather is sunny, he will go out for a walk after dinner.

On this day, Jia Yucun came to Guowai by chance and met his old friend Leng Zixing in Zhitong Temple.

This Leng Zixing is an antique trader in the capital, and he met Jia Yucun in the capital in the past.Just as Jia Yucun is from the same family as Duke Rong of the Jia Mansion, this Leng Zixing is also from the same family as Mr. Leng of the Ministry of Punishment—the one who assisted the fifth prince Yongdan in investigating the eldest prince Yongqing and accompanied Li Fuchen, making the two Huaihuai inspectors. Master Leng who has been replaced by someone else.

However, there are tens of thousands of them in the same family, Duke Guo and Lord Leng, and they can't easily remember their names.

It's just that Jia Yucun, Leng Zixing, etc. said it with a bright face.

The two met again in a foreign land, and Yucun praised Leng Zixing the most as a man of great ability, and this Zixing borrowed Yucun's reputation as a gentleman, so the two talked in a speculative manner, and they were the most compatible.

Come and go, the two will get together in three to five days.

This day, Jia Yucun got the news that the female students were going to live with their ancestors in both Chinese and foreign countries. I am afraid that I have made it to the end, and it is not easy to find such an easy job again; I don't know when I will be able to. The official returned to his original post, feeling depressed and uneasy.

He met Leng Zixing again at the winery, but this time Leng Zixing brought a new friend.

Yucun saw that his new friend was in his thirties, with a friendly face, and although his clothes were half-worn, they were made of good brocade material.He didn't want to underestimate him, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what to call this brother?"

Zixing introduced on his behalf: "This is the second steward of the Liu family village in the Yong'an Houfu, named Liu Zihua. Brother Zihua personally supervised the delivery of New Year's goods to the Houfu, and he was going to the capital with my younger brother; I begged him It is convenient to accompany you along the way."

Yucun felt an "Aiyo" in his heart, that Yong'an Hou's Mansion was the mother's house of Concubine Shu in the palace, the mother's house of the Seventeenth Prince, and it was a really hot and powerful house.

There are seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, let alone the housekeeper of the prince's mother's family's Houfu?

Even if Liu Zihua is just a second housekeeper in Gusu Zhuangzi, he can talk better than them in front of the officials.Leng Zixing was in the antique business, so he wanted to go on the road with Liu Zihua, wasn't it just for the convenience?

Yucun hurriedly smiled and cupped his hands, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother Zihua is originally from the Yong'an Houfu."

Liu Zihua smiled kindly, "It's just doing things for the masters, and it's not as noble as brother Yucun, who is a scholar."

The three of them sat at the same table, served food and wine, chatted and drank.

Jia Yucun couldn't help talking about his worries, "Although this Mr. Lin in the political department hasn't spoken to me yet, I have already met someone from the capital the day before yesterday. My grandmother, who is a female student, thinks that she has no one to rely on for education. , have dispatched male and female boats to pick them up. Now it’s just because the female student hasn’t fully recovered yet, so I can’t make it in time. Once she leaves, I, my teacher, will be done..."

Leng Zixing heard the words, but he stumbled and sighed, "You are such a good lady, why send her to that dirty place."

Jia Yucun was taken aback for a moment, but his mind was still on his own future.

But Liu Zihua rolled his eyes, leaned forward and asked: "Master Lin's Yue family is in the Rongguo Duke's residence, the family of Zhongming Dingshi, the family of calligraphy and calligraphy—what does Zixing say?"

Leng Zixing said quickly: "Although the outside shelf is not down, the inside bag is full. This is still a trivial matter. There is a more important thing: the descendants of his family are not as good as the next generation!" The door, the four generations of people counted one by one, and talked about the "Baoyu" who was born with jade in his mouth, caught Zhou and caught rouge and gouache.

Liu Zihua said with a smile: "The little boy is playing around, but he can't see anything. As long as he studies hard in the future, there will be no hindrance."

Leng Zixing just sighed: "If it's as Brother Zihua said, the Jia family will be very lucky."

Liu Zihua then said to Yucun: "I heard from Zixing that you were enlisted in the revolution that day. The tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. This is also a helpless thing."

Jia Yucun suddenly felt a sense of bosom friend.

But he didn't know that Liu Zihua was the second housekeeper. Although he was not as good as him in reading, he was a hundred times better than him in terms of personnel and skills.Talking people's words when seeing people, talking nonsense when seeing ghosts, is a skill that Liu Zihua has practiced well.

Liu Zihua continued to laugh and said: "A few days ago, I met with my colleague Zhang Rugui, who participated in the revolution with Yucun. , so he looked around for love and a way out, and he found me here."

Yucun was delighted to hear the letter from the ex-members.

Hearing this, Leng Zixing offered a plan to order Yucun to harass Lin Ruhai and turn to the capital to harass Jia Zheng.

Yucun took his meaning, said goodbye and went back to the hall, busy looking for the mansion to report that it was true.

The next day, Jia Yucun was full of conspiracy.

Lin Ruhai is a humble and kind person, who never treats anyone badly.He had already edited a letter of recommendation and entrusted his brother-in-law, Jia Zhengwu, as Zhou Quan's assistant.

Jia Yucun quickly thanked Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhainai said: "I have chosen the second day of the first lunar month for my little girl to enter the capital, and brother Zun will go on the same road. Wouldn't it be convenient?" Yucun Weiwei obeyed and was very proud.Ru Haisui arranges gifts and farewells, and Yucun takes them one by one.

On the night of the first day of the new year, the parting was imminent, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu, father and daughter, were saying parting words together.

Suddenly, I heard that the subordinates reported that someone from Yong'an Hou's mansion had come.

Lin Ruhai was shocked, the city was thousands of miles away, and he had never had anything to do with the Yong'an Hou Mansion, so he hurriedly sent someone here at night—but what's the matter?

Ruhai ordered Wang Momo to send her daughter Daiyu to bed, and hurriedly invited people from Yong'an Houfu to the study.

But I saw two men coming, the leader was a young man with a modest temperament, about 30 years old, wearing a worn-out squirrel leather clothes; followed by a middle-aged man in his [-]s, with a friendly face , Entering the room is even more smiling.

The leading young people took their heads and bowed, "Student Zhao Chang'an has met Mr. Lin, the censor of Lianghuai and Huaihe, and the doctor of Lantai Temple."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly helped him up, he had already seen the greeting card, and knew that this was a son from the third house of the Marquis of Yong'an, although he was born from a concubine, he had also achieved fame and fame, so he was not an idler.

Zhao Changan bowed, and the man behind him also bowed down, "Slave Liu Zihua is the second steward of Lianghuai Zhuangzi in the Marquis of Yong'an. My lord, just call me Steward Liu."

Zhao Changan took his seat, while Liu Zihua stood aside with his hands respectful.

Lin Ruhai then asked: "I am an uncommon person, I have little contact with the family, I don't know if you two are here..."

Zhao Changan smiled and said: "Is it a student or not? I didn't explain clearly to the adults. The younger brother of the eldest son of the sect is the companion of the Seventeenth Prince. His name is Xiangyu. His real name is Zhao Changji, and 'Xiangyu' is Your Highness bestows a name."

Lin Ruhai knew about the two companions beside Yongchen, one calling Lianxi and the other Xiangyu.

He made a silent "ah", then said: "So that's the case." Then he hurriedly asked: "Is your Highness still okay after a five-year farewell?"

Zhao Changan said with a smile: "Your Highness Seventeen is very good, and he is very smart in reading. I came from the capital a few days ago, and I heard that the emperor praised his knowledge and granted him permission to enter the preparatory government at the age of 12. Now His Highness spends every afternoon in Yu Qing Palace, follow His Highness the Crown Prince and understand the government affairs of the court."

Lin Ruhai sighed, "Your Highness is a genius."

Zhao Chang'an changed the subject, "His Royal Highness Seventeen is fine, but he is only thinking about Your Excellency. A few days ago, His Highness Seventeen was heartbroken when he heard the news of Madam's death. It happened that the student's family sent students to Lianghuai to investigate the situation in Xinzhuangzi. Seventeenth When His Highness learned about it, he entrusted the students to pay a visit to Your Excellency to pay their respects."

Lin Ruhai's heart was agitated, his face was flushed, and it was hard to express it in words.

Zhao Changan continued with a smile: "Originally, I thought that after the New Year's goods were ready, I would bring the produce from my own farm to meet the lord. Who knew that the housekeepers in the farm had heard that some people came to take the young lady from the mansion to my grandmother's house. Go. The students will write and write it down to His Highness, and His Highness will send it back six hundred li urgently—order the students to escort Miss along the way to the capital.”

He received the approval document the day before yesterday, and yesterday he sent Liu Zihua to check on him. Everything was ready, so he came to visit.

Facing Lin Ruhai's bewildered and moved gaze at this moment, Zhao Chang'an bowed down and said, "I came in a hurry, disturbed you abruptly, and the students were careless and panicked. I hope you will forgive me."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly helped him up, and sighed with a smile: "Your Highness's kindness really makes me feel ashamed. Chang'an, get up quickly... My little girl is going to Duzhong, and I have to rely on you to take care of me all the way."

Zhao Chang'an got up and said again; "Your Highness's letter mentioned that if Miss has a servant girl at home who is used to her, a servant in charge of affairs, or a teacher accompanying her - as long as it is not easy to go to Jia's mansion, just send it to Jia's house." In the residence of the Marquis of Yong'an in the capital, when it becomes cheaper in the future, it will still be used by the young lady nearby."

Lin Ruhai at the front was so relieved and moved that tears were about to fall. Hearing Yong Chen's idea, he couldn't laugh or cry at once——The Seventeenth Highness's unexpected style of doing things has really not changed at all.

However, Zhao Chang'an relayed Yong Chen's letter correctly, "Your Highness also said, please rest assured, my lord, if you go to Duzhong, she will be his own sister."

"How dare you be a little girl." Lin Ruhai waved his hands again and again, and muttered: "My brother Chang'an, please tell His Highness a word for me, just say that His Highness has a fistful heart, and Ruhai is deeply grateful. It's just..." He frowned and thought Once, "It's just that the little girl is young and humble, and she lives in the elder's home. Everything should be done first."

Zhao Changan memorized them one by one, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he said, "Students must bring their words with them. If your lord has something to say to His Highness, you might as well write a book and give it to Steward Liu, and he will Send directly to the capital."

Lin Ruhai shook his head.He worked in the Lianghuai Salt Administration for five consecutive years, and he was the man who was stared at by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Now that His Royal Highness has entered the Preliminary Administration, it would be very inconvenient for him to communicate with each other privately.

Naturally, Daiyu didn't know these things.The next day Daiyu bid farewell to her father in tears, and boarded the boat with her nanny and some old ladies from Rongfu.There is another boat in Jiayu village, with two children, and it travels by Daiyu.

There were even two official ships escorting them along the river, followed by two groups of merchant ships, but they wore the emblem of the Marquis of Yong'an.

After ten months, I arrived in the middle of the capital.

Daiyu and her party abandon the boat and go ashore.

As soon as he landed, the woman who was supposed to lead the way was dumbfounded.

But I saw that the shore was separated from the left and right. On one side was the Rongguo Mansion sending green cloth sedan chairs and vehicles pulling luggage, and on the other side was a carriage team - two magnificent white horses pulled the precious-topped luxury sedan chair at the front, followed by There was an eight-person carriage pulling luggage and people.The horses that pull the cart are all very healthy horses, and the people who drive the cart are all strong and reliable young people, who can be seen from ordinary people.

While hesitating, the two women wearing gold and silver came down from the official boat side by side, and smiled to the woman on Daiyu's side, "Why don't you invite your lady into the carriage? This is His Royal Highness the Seventeenth Prince sent to pick up the Lin family. Miss."
