The Palm Jade of the Red Chamber

On December [-]th, Emperor Kangxi captured Obai alive, and on this day, the high-profile son-in-law was born. Daiyu couldn't understand the happy mood facing her father, but she didn't understand this at the age of six. It seems that the world of adults is wonderful, but she heard some things in her ears, and she also remembered them in her heart.

In a blink of an eye, another year passed, and in March, the imperial decree came down, and Lin Hai was re-elected as the inspector of salt and censor, and then, Jiamu's letter was sent again, and it was a few days later. He wrote a letter, requesting to send Daiyu and Tianyou to Beijing, even if she is not allowed to be raised by her old woman, the two children should be allowed to live with her for a while.

"Yu'er, what are your plans?" Lin Hai asked after showing Daiyu all the letters.

Daiyu looked at the pile of letters, even though she was very unfamiliar with this grandmother, she was still moved now. Daiyu's eyes were red when she read the letters of missing and caring for their siblings. She is now seven years old, and God Bless is already three years old. Although he is still young, it should be no problem to live in Beijing for a while.

Thinking of this, Daiyu said: "Father, my daughter brought Tianyou to Beijing to accompany my grandmother for a few months, it's also my daughter's disobedience, and she hasn't visited my grandmother for so many years."

"You actually have a plan, so you have to prepare what you should bring to the past, and I will trust you for my father." Lin Hai patted Daiyu's head, looking at his daughter's face that resembled his dead wife, he couldn't help it. Twitching pain, turned away and couldn't bear to look again, but was reluctant, looked at Daiyu seriously and told, "Jia's mansion is not as comfortable as your own home, when you come to Jia's mansion, listen more and talk less, some things can't be seen , and don’t make decisions on your own. God Bless is still young and has a bad temper. You are optimistic about him. There are many girls in the Jia family, so you should get along well with your sisters. Your grandmother loves your mother the most. Take good care of her, but don't tire her..." The time of entering Beijing is still undecided, but Lin Hai already has endless instructions and worries.

The capital is far away, and the two children have never left his side. Lin Hai is very worried, and he can't help complaining why the Holy Majesty wants to let him stay in the post, because there is a shortage of manpower, and you can just find someone to take his place That's good too!

"Sir, is it true that you won't accompany Yu'er to Beijing?" Under the banyan tree, Lin Heng was sitting on a stone chair, and Daiyu was standing in front of him, looking up at him slightly.

"Is Yu'er afraid of going to the capital?" Lin Heng asked.

are you afraid?

Daiyu nodded without hesitation: "I'm afraid, I don't have any impression of that place, Yu'er doesn't know anyone there, Dad won't go, Yu'er takes her brother with her, if something really happens, Yu'er can only be alone You protect my younger brother, sir, won’t you go?” Lin Heng didn’t need to answer, Daiyu had already guessed, “Mr. has been teaching Yu’er for almost four years. Previously, Daddy asked Mr. if he would continue to teach Yu’er and younger brother, but Mr. hesitated. , Yu'er knew at that time that Mister was leaving."

Lin Heng didn't deny Daiyu's words, he looked up at the blue sky, there were birds chasing each other in the air, it looked so free, but it was just a look.He lowered his head, and the delicate-looking little girl was looking at him persistently. This was his first female student, and it could be said that she was the only child he had taught for nearly four years. The reluctance in his heart was definitely a pity. That place in the capital was not where he wanted to go.

"When Yu'er returns to Yangzhou, I will be Yu'er's husband." He said to her, and seeing the light in the girl's eyes was so joyful.

"Well, the master promised Yu'er not to go back on his word."

"I won't go back on my word." Forget it, let it be like this, I traveled abroad when I was a teenager, I have been to the places I want to go, I have been to the places I don't want to go, I have tasted the beautiful scenery that I should see, and the delicious food that I should eat. It is not an exaggeration to rest for so many years.

What should I bring to Beijing?

The white jade Guanyin consecrated by eminent monks, silk and handkerchief purses from Yangzhou, fans from the Qin and Han Dynasties... There are 1000 taels for her and her younger brother's expenses for a few months, and not many people follow her. She wanted to go with her, but her silent daughter-in-law gave birth again, so Daiyu asked Nanny Wang to go back to take care of her daughter-in-law, while Qiulan was left behind to take care of her father with Butler Lin. Xueyan, Bailing, two little maids, plus Dongmei, and there are more people brought by Tianyou, besides the two little boys, there are also two big maids, two second-class maids, two nuns, one One is the nurse and the other is the steward.

This number of people is a decision Daiyu has considered for a long time. It doesn't matter how many people she serves. Although Xueyan and Bailing are young, they are very capable and clever, while Dongmei is always with the Jia family. In contact, Tianyou is still young, and two children can accompany him to study and play, and four maids are enough to take care of him, as well as his nurse, and the nurse in charge is the personal maid who came out of Jia's mansion with his mother Auntie Ru, it’s only for half a year, so this number of people is enough.

In Jia's mansion, Jia's mother looked at Lin Hai's reply and learned that her granddaughter and grandson were finally coming to see her. She was happy and at the same time remembered her daughter who died young. She couldn't help crying, and made everyone persuade her for a while.

"Old Ancestor, you are looking forward to your younger brother and sister. You are weeping with joy now. If your younger brother and sister find out, they will worry about your health." The beautiful young woman sat on the lower head of Jia Mu and said with a smile. .

"As long as you can talk, your younger brother and younger sister are coming to the capital. If you don't tidy up the yard where your Aunt Min lived before, you have to get ready as soon as possible." Mother Jia looked at Wang Xifeng. He smiled, but he was even more looking forward to it in his heart.

"The grandson's daughter-in-law will save her, and she will definitely take care of it properly for the ancestors, and won't let her younger brothers and sisters be wronged." Wang Xifeng stood up, gave Jia Mu a blessing, and said, "The grandson's daughter-in-law will go down now and prepare to go. .”

"Go, make sure to tidy up. If there is anything missing, just tell me." Mother Jia waved Wang Xifeng to hurry up and prepare. Now she can't wait for the two children to arrive in front of her, but unfortunately it will take a few days.

Mrs. Wang sat on the sidelines from beginning to end without saying a word, but Mrs. Xue, who just came a while ago, smiled and talked to Jia's mother. Xue Baochai was also curious and asked some girls in Jia's house about this cousin girl. Come.

It's just a pity that Yingchun and the others had never met Daiyu before, so they couldn't answer Baochai's question.

At this time, Daiyu from Yangzhou also set off with Tianyou.

It was the first time I left home and took a boat for the first time. Tianyou curiously pulled Daiyu to look around, exclaimed when she saw anything interesting, and then activated the [-] why mode, and Daiyu answered patiently, When he came across something he didn't know, he asked Xiaobai.

Ever since Daiyu had a husband, she has never asked her any questions. Now that she hears this familiar but unfamiliar "why" again, Xiaobai looks like she is about to collapse. Have so many questions to ask?

Stopping and stopping like this, it will be ten days after arriving in the capital.

Jia's sedan chair had been waiting on the pier for a long time. As soon as he saw Daiyu and the others, he came up to meet them. The person waiting at the pier was Lai Da, the son of Lai Mammy next to Jia's mother, who was also the manager of Jia's mansion. It can be seen that Jia Mother attaches great importance to Daiyu and Tianyou.

"The old lady has waited for the girl and the young master. The girl hastened to get on the sedan chair. The old lady is waiting for the girl in the house." Lai Da walked beside Daiyu and said respectfully.

"It's my fault that the ancestors have been waiting for so long. Please lead the way." Daiyu said to Lai Da, holding Tianyou who just woke up and was rubbing his eyes.

"Girl this way." While leading Daiyu and Tianyou into the sedan chair, Lai Da secretly visited the cousin girl and the young master. With the girl's appearance, the young age is already such a mark, and it can be seen that she will grow up to be elegant, no wonder the old lady has read it for so many years.

Daiyu embraced Tianyou and fell in love with her. The prosperity of the capital is different from Yangzhou, and the people here seem to be different from Yangzhou. The weather is hotter than Yangzhou. I am used to the mild weather in the southern water town. When I came to the north, I just stepped into the capital, and I was already a little unaccustomed to it.

The sedan chair was lifted very steadily, Tianyou was fully awake, and asked curiously: "Sister, where are we going?"

"Go to grandma's house, Tianyou has to be obedient there, don't be naughty~" Half a year of life in the capital is about to begin, and Daiyu is inexplicably looking forward to it.Maybe it's because of my grandmother, maybe it's because of the sister I've never met, or maybe it's just an inexplicable expectation.

After about half a stick of incense, the sedan chair had already stopped listening, and a woman lifted the curtain and said, "Miss, it's time to change the sedan chair."

Daiyu nodded, and led Tianyou into another sedan chair, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, there are so many rules in this Jia's mansion, and you have to change sedan chairs when you go to the inner courtyard, but this Jia's mansion looks very big!

The sedan chair took another cup of tea, and stopped again. It was still the old lady from before, and she opened the curtain to invite the two siblings to get off the sedan chair.

"The servant belongs to Master Lai, and the girl can be called Aunt Lai, the servant." Master Lai introduced himself to Daiyu, "If the girl needs any help in the future, feel free to come to the servant."

Lai's introduction gave Daiyu a new understanding of Jia's mansion: the servants of Jia's mansion seem to have no rules.

"Then there will be Aunt Lao Lai." Daiyu greeted her with a smile.
