The Palm Jade of the Red Chamber

Before Lin Hai came back, Daiyu went to see her husband first. Her husband was still the same, dressed casually and lived a comfortable life.

When Daiyu came, Lin Heng was leaning on the reclining chair in the yard, holding a book in his hand, and there was a cup of tea on the table next to him. When he saw Daiyu, he glanced at him and turned his attention back to the book. On: "I'm back."

Just three simple words, and I didn't mention my previous worries.

"Yes, sir." Daiyu sat beside Lin Heng, talking about the past nine months in detail.

One person spoke, the other listened, the atmosphere was very warm, Lin Zhou stopped his steps to step into the yard, leaned his back against the wall, and listened quietly.

"Yu'er, how is the emperor?" Lin Heng asked suddenly.

Daiyu was silent, Lin Zhou outside the courtyard looked at her toes.

"What do you think, sir?" Daiyu asked.

"As an emperor, he is undoubtedly successful, with strategies, courage, foresight, and tolerance."

"In Mr.'s eyes, he is still good."

"What about Yu'er's eyes?" Lin Heng looked into Daiyu's eyes.

"I don't know." Daiyu replied.

"I really don't know?"

"Yes, I don't know!"

"What does Yu'er think of the Empress Dowager?"

"Smart woman."

"Yes, that's a smart woman."

The corners of Lin Zhou's mouth turned up slightly, but his expression didn't show any joy. Maybe that's all right, they are all smart people, and smart people know what to do and what not to do.Thinking in this way, Lin Zhou walked away, took three steps but stopped again, he didn't know what he thought of, and there was no hesitation in his last steps.

When Lin Hai came back, Daiyu told him about the days in Chicheng again, ignoring the emperor's share.

"Yu'er has done a good job. Even if she is favored by the Empress Dowager, she must not be disrespectful." Lin Hai reminded, but there is such a good daughter, it is really useless to be a father, but I am glad that my daughter is like this The excellence of his work made him worry a lot.

"Yu'er understands, so I will go to Jia's mansion to visit my grandmother tomorrow." Daiyu saw that Tianyou only ate meat and not vegetables, so she put a handful of vegetables into the bowl for him, and saw that he had a bitter face, it was because The unhappy mood of going to Jia's mansion became a little more comfortable.

"As a father, someone will pick you up earlier." Lin Hai sighed at his wife's natal family now, and he was indisputable. Fortunately, Jia Lian's work in Suzhou was steady. Although he was not brilliant, he was still commendable. But those who stayed in the capital, not to mention the young ones, even the adults didn't care about it.

Today's Holy Majesty is preparing to deal with Sanfan, and when the Sanfan is dealt with, it will be the turn of these so-called aristocratic families.

Daiyu nodded, and the three happily finished their dinner, talked warmly, and went to rest early.

Early in the morning of the second day, Daiyu took Tianyou to Jia's mansion after finishing her breakfast.

I haven't been to Jia's mansion for more than half a year, and it is still the way I remember, but some people have already changed.

It should be said that since she gained face in front of the Empress Dowager, the tone and appearance of the people in Jia's mansion changed.Just like the second aunt, every time she sees their siblings, she starts to greet people with a smile on her face, expressing concern for them inside and out, and then turning a corner to ask her to mention her never-before-seen friend to the Empress Dowager. The eldest cousin, even the grandmother had the same idea. After half a year, seeing that she had never done anything for the eldest cousin in the palace, her face returned to her previous appearance. That was the second aunt she was familiar with.

"Hey, why didn't Sister Lin come to see the old lady this time instead of entering the palace?" Shi Xiangyun, who was snuggling up beside Xue Baochai, said, the corners of his eyes were raised slightly, and the smile on his face was still so cute.

"Grandmother, forgive me. The Empress Dowager had already said that Yu'er was weak during the New Year's Day. No, the empress went to Chicheng to recuperate her body, and she didn't forget to take Yu'er with her. Yu'er didn't know until she came back. It turned out that her father heard about it. The hot springs in Chicheng are the most nourishing, so I begged the emperor to let the empress take Yu'er with me, and in the past half a year, my body is indeed much more comfortable than before." Daiyu was pulled by Jia Mu and sat beside her, laughing Yingying said, asking Bailing to bring up the things for Jia Mu, opened the wooden box, and there was a white jade Guanyin statue inside, "Grandma's birthday Yu'er missed, and I couldn't make it back at that time, this is in Chicheng At that time, I happened to meet Master Ming Bo, this is the statue of Avalokitesvara consecrated by him, I hope that Master Avalokitesvara can bless my grandmother."

"You child, you should enshrine such a precious thing at home, and Master Guanyin will protect you two brothers and sisters." Jiamu carried Daiyu into her arms, looked at the statue of Guanyin, and felt in her heart Measure Daiyu's favor in front of the Empress Dowager.

Earlier, when she was the nanny of the first emperor, she had served enough in front of the empress dowager, that person would be nice to someone for no reason, why did she treat Yu'er like this?

It's not that Jia's mother never thought that the empress dowager wanted Daiyu to enter the palace, but the Lin family is only Han people, and Man and Han do not intermarry, so there is no possibility of Daiyu entering the palace—Mother Jia didn't know the Lin family at all. It was the Eight Banners, and Jia Min never told Mother Jia, otherwise, Mother Jia would not have been confused about what the Empress Dowager was thinking, and thought of countless possibilities here, and then denied it by herself.

"Grandmother, don't worry, Yu'er and Tianyou are fine, besides, there is still father." Daiyu hugged Jiamu's arm and acted like a baby, "Grandmother will accept Yu'er's kindness."

"Yuanyang, go and take the Guanyin statue sent by Yu'er and put it in the house."

"Yes." Yuanyang carefully took the wooden box from Bailing's hand and sent it to the house, while Bailing followed Daiyu's words and took out all the things to be given to everyone. Everyone seemed to have forgotten what Shi Xiangyun said when Daiyu came in, and no one responded to her words. Even Xue Baochai, who was getting closer to her, held her back and told her not to speak out.

Daiyu's gaze swept past Shi Xiangyun and Baochai, and landed on Tanchun and Xichun. She smiled at them and said, "The third younger sister and the fourth younger sister have grown a lot taller. We haven't seen each other for half a year. The third younger sister is about to die." About as tall as me."

"It won't be long before she will be as tall as Sister Lin!" Tanchun replied with a smile. Xichun looked at everyone's heights and pouted. No matter how you look at it, she is the shortest one, even Laner. He was going to be as tall as her, not to mention Tianyou who was about the same age as him.

It is said that after Tianyou met Jia's mother, he learned that Baoyu hadn't come back from school, and Jia Zheng was in the study, and he was too embarrassed to stay with the women in the room. Jia Zheng called Baoyu over as soon as school was over, and God Bless had some excuses to keep Jia Baoyu at Jia Zheng's office for half a day.

Before Daiyu came, Mrs. Wang had already excused her illness and was unwilling to come out. Seeing Daiyu would only embarrass herself, but Aunt Xue came, talking to Daiyu with a smile, and quietly inquiring about the emperor. matter.

"Aunt Xue's words can't be said, we Yu'er are the most sensible and disciplined, don't say that the emperor is a foreigner, you can't see it, even if you are lucky enough to see it at the empress's side, Yu'er has to avoid it, even if you can't avoid it, That is also serving the empress on the side, how dare you talk to the emperor."

Daiyu looked at Mrs. Xing in surprise. Even Jia Mu did not expect that Mrs. Xing would suddenly stand up to speak for Daiyu. Aunt Xue smiled uncomfortably. Curious, we didn't see Long Yan, Yu'er was the only one who saw it, my mother asked out of curiosity, I hope Yu'er will not take the blame for the inappropriate sentence."

"Everyone has curiosity, but unfortunately I can't answer my aunt's confusion. Although I was lucky enough to be recruited by the empress to serve her, it is a pity that I am a daughter and have no chance to see the Holy One." Daiyu smiled, "The empress is not as good as Empress Empress, maybe the eldest cousin can answer my aunt's confusion."

Aunt Xue's smiling face froze, but Baochai's expression did not change, and said: "The palace is the place where rules are most important, and the eldest cousin can serve by the empress's side because the eldest cousin is the most disciplined and sensible."

Daiyu looked at Baochai and smiled without saying a word, Shi Xiangyun couldn't wait to speak: "Sister Lin often enters the palace, don't you even see the emperor once?"

"Sister Yun seems to be very curious about the emperor?!" Daiyu squinted her eyes and looked at Shi Xiangyun with a smile, but she felt a little tired in her heart. This sister Yun has changed quickly. She was very close to her before, and they hit it off when they first met, but now they turn their faces away. She's changed, and so is Sister Bao. It's just because she has been involved with the square palace, so she changed. "It's a pity that I'm not curious about the Holy Majesty, and I don't care whether I see or not."

"It's not something you should talk about in the palace," Jiamu saw that Daiyu's face didn't look very good, so she changed the subject, "How long will Yu'er stay here this time?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. I'm going to enter the palace to greet my mother tomorrow." Daiyu smiled, "I've been away for more than half a year, and there are many unfinished business at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with my grandmother for too long." She couldn't stay in the house any longer.

"That's right. You've been away from home for more than half a year. The family is full of men. There should be many things waiting for you to deal with. If you can't stay here for a while, then take more time to talk to me, an old woman."

"Grandmother doesn't say anything, Yu'er is going to do the same thing." Jiamu's words made it hard for Daiyu to say anything. After all, she is an elder. Because of Jiamu's words, and because Baoyu couldn't come because of God's blessing, Daiyu was not in a hurry. After going back, he talked with Jiamu for a while, and had some intimate conversations with Sister Tanchun. After lunch, he took Tianyou back.

But Baoyu, who wanted to see Daiyu, was driven back to class by Jia Zheng because it was time for class, so they didn't meet each other.

When Daiyu left, Mother Jia sighed alone, maybe the love of Bao Dai she hoped for was impossible, it seems that she has to look again, let's work hard!
