Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

Lin Daiyu had no choice but to confess to Xichun, and they were about to part, Jia Baoyu said, "Now that we're gone, let's go back to the old lady, let's go with my sister."

But Xue Baochai said, "Go ahead, I happened to go to see my aunt from the sidewalk. Would Baoyu want one?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head and said, "I just greeted my wife this morning, sister Bao can go by herself. I'm going back to the old lady's place."

Lin Daiyu sighed in her heart, her ghost still persists.Fortunately, Xichun was entangled along the way, so he didn't need to pay attention to Jia Baoyu's questions.

First born and second acquainted, it was Qiu Xin who came back this time. When Lin Daiyu passed by, she was chatting with Jia Mu.

Seeing Lin Daiyu, Qiu Xin hurriedly came up to greet An and said, "Miss Lin looks pretty good today, she said that grandma loves her granddaughter the most, it's only been a while, Shi Taijun is really kind."

"I'm just such a granddaughter, who cares if I don't love her." Jia Mu laughed, "How could the princess think of taking her to stay? Yu'er has always been spoiled, and she is afraid of causing trouble to the princess."

When Jia Baoyu heard that Lin Daiyu was going to live in the princess' mansion, she showed displeasure. Mother Jia gave Yuanyang a wink, and Yuanyang hurriedly stepped forward and smiled at him, "Just now Xiren said he couldn't find you, and he was in a hurry. Well, second master, go in quickly."

"Understood." Jia Baoyu was distracted, after all he still knew that Qiu Xin was from the princess' mansion, so he just mumbled and went into the Bisha closet.

Qiu Xin watched them finish the eyebrow-eye lawsuit, and Fang said, "On the way here, the princess and Miss Lin were on the same official boat, and they got along well. If the old matriarch is worried, the princess may have to blame me. The work is not good, tomorrow I have to pick it up myself."

Mother Jia's expression turned cold, and she forced a smile, "That's my granddaughter, so many people hurt me, I'm really happy in my heart. If that's the case, Yu'er, you will go to the princess mansion to stay for a few days, and also accompany the princess Relieve the boredom, thank you Princess for taking care of you all the way, it is really rare for her princess to care for you in every possible way. There is only one, don't be too happy to leave, there are me and my sisters waiting for you at home."

It's as if Lin Daiyu didn't care about their flesh and blood relatives in order to climb the high branch of Princess Boping.

Qiu Xin smiled slightly, "Thank you, Mrs. Madam."

Say what you want, I can't understand it anyway.

When she returned to the Zhongchun hall, Qiu Xinfang sighed softly, "Your servant has overstepped the bounds, Miss Lin is really working hard."

The old woman is sweet-faced and bitter-hearted.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "They are all blood relatives, so it's hard work."

As Xueque said, she has a family background, a father, and the princess loves her. The old lady is so old, why should she take a few specious words to heart? After all, she is her own grandmother. The old man was happy and pretended not to know what happened.

Lin Daiyu took two nurses, Xueque and Xueyan, and left the other two to look after the house, and told them to keep the door behind closed doors, not to make trouble, and don't forget to review and practice calligraphy.

Ming Yilan arranged for the frame woman, everything was in order, and Jia's family didn't need to bother.

On the contrary, Wang Xifeng rushed over and asked someone to bring the eight-color gift box, as well as seasonal fresh fruits, etc., and said with a smile, "There is no reason to come to the door empty-handed, and a little thing is considered courtesy. I just hope that the princess will not dislike it."

Qiu Xin couldn't help feeling fond of this bright and charming Second Mistress Lian, and she was blessed, "Second Mistress Lian was joking, you are so considerate in etiquette and thoughtful of Miss Lin, the princess can only be happy, how could she dislike her."

Lin Daiyu also thanked her sincerely, and Qiu Xin said that the yard had been cleaned up early, and it was good to bring home clothes, usual things or books, and nothing else was missing.

Princess Boping's mansion and Jia's mansion said whether it was close or far, and it took about an hour less.

Nanny Liu greeted her personally at the second gate, helped her up and said, "Miss Lin is here, the old servant has lost weight again, and the princess will feel distressed when she sees it."

Lin Daiyu called Nanny Liu, and said with a smile, "Perhaps it's because the climate is not acclimatized, and I'm not used to the food in Beijing."

Although she was a filial piety, she still had to observe filial piety and mourning. Jia's food was exquisite and extravagant but not far from big fish and meat. She was already weak and ate little, and now it was even more difficult to move a few chopsticks for a meal.

When he saw Ming Yilan, Princess Boping really said, "My son, Zensheng has lost weight again. If you do this again, I won't even let the wind blow you away, and I will blow it away."

Lin Daiyu blushed, "That's all there is to it."

There were two girls beside them who laughed, and one of them who was shorter said, "Auntie's words are really scary. I saw that Miss Lin is weak and slender, and her bearing is blue. How can you turn into a girl in your mouth?" Like a kite."

"Okay, okay, it's all your reasons, come and meet your sister Lin soon." Ming Yilan gave her an angry look, and introduced to Lin Daiyu, "These two are girls from brother Ji's second uncle's family. , I have nothing to do, so I left them to accompany me. This is sister Qin, the fifth girl of Yan, and sister Run, the sixth girl of Yan, both of whom are older than you."

The two girls from the Yan family are dressed in the usual ladylike attire. On the contrary, Yan Qin, the elder sister, is shorter and has a somewhat similar temperament to Lin Daiyu. Talkative look.

They also looked at Lin Daiyu once, and saw that she had nothing but an oriental bead in her hair and a sapphire hairbrush. The lake blue dress was not too plain for the master's family, but it was also in line with her filial piety.

If other people are so plain, they must lose some color, but she stands tall and looks even more extraordinary.With such a temperament suppressed, her young but stunning face is not very obvious.

Yan Qinyuan only thought that his aunt took care of Lin Daiyu like this because he watched Lin Daiyu grow up since he was a child, and he had the friendship of the previous generation. Said, "If I call my sister, I will have a meeting ceremony."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips into a smile, and stepped down gracefully, "Sister Qin, Sister Run. It's just that a meeting gift is really not worth it."

"She's a rich man, you just keep it." Ming Yilan was satisfied when she saw that they met and hit it off.

Yan Qin really picked up the purse from her waist and gave it to her, "I embroidered it with my own hands, but I just got the upper body today, the needle and thread are rough, please accept it with my sister."

Lin Daiyu thanked her hurriedly, and seeing the purse embroidered with a bunch of orchids, she said with a smile, "Sister Qin's embroidered orchids are as if the fragrance of orchids is in her nose, so please teach me about such a good technique."

"It's fine if my younger sister likes it." Yan Qin nodded, and went to pull Yan Run again, "Sixth younger sister, don't allow me to be stingy."

"Of course not." Yan Run spoke slowly, which made people calm down. She told her maid, "Go get the embroidered handkerchief."

"Sure enough, you are not stingy. I saw that Sixth Sister has been embroidering for a long time."

Although she didn't see anything, Lin Daiyu thanked her in advance.

Seeing that they had finished identifying people, Ming Yilan hurriedly pulled Lin Daiyu to sit down and said, "It's been half a day in the car, let's take a rest first. This cake is from the palace, I don't know if you like it or not."

Yan Qin sat on the other side with a smile, "Sister, try the hibiscus candy cake, I like this one the most. The method in the Imperial Dining Room is different from the outside, it's made by Shui Furong."

The water hibiscus is the lotus flower. Lin Daiyu tasted a piece and found that the lotus fragrance is elegant, soft and delicious.

All the maids are not slow-moving, and after a few gossips, Yan Run's maid came back with a handkerchief in her hand, and Yan Run handed it to Lin Daiyu himself, and said modestly, "My needlework is no better than Fifth Sister, it's just my heart. "

Naturally, Lin Daiyu wouldn't believe it. When she unfolded it, she saw that the hairpin lowercase script embroidered with black thread was beautiful and sparse, with flaws, just like real characters. She read the poem she embroidered once, and Yan Run smiled, "I don't know why. Thinking of this queer word, I already knew that Sister Lin was waiting here."

It turned out that Bai Letian's memory of Jiangnan was embroidered on the veil, "Jiangnan is beautiful, and the scenery is familiar to me. At sunrise, the river's flowers are red and the fire is bright, and in spring, the river's water is as green as blue. I can't remember Jiangnan."

"What a coincidence." Lin Daiyu was also quite emotional.

"Is it true that as Liu Jishi wrote in Liu Ji's poem, the weeping willows in the north of the Yangtze River have not yet burst into buds, and the water and green flowers in the south of the Yangtze River?" Yan Qin asked, "Sister Lin told us about Jiangnan."

"There is really no way to compare this. It was already summer in central Beijing when I came here." Lin Daiyu said, "But it is warmer in the south, so the flowering time is probably earlier."

"It's a pity that I can't go to see the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River."

"I see Liu Ji's next sentence from Sister Qin."

"Which one?"

"Northern people love Jiangnan as much as possible."

Yan Qin was amused by her, "Sister, I don't know what you, a southerner, want to say about the north?"

At this moment, Lin Daiyu understood Jia Baoyu's words that "meeting you at the beginning of Jun is like an old friend coming, and talking to Yan Qin was an unprecedented ease among the sisters of Jia's family. Listening to her questioning, she deliberately acted like she was thinking twice. , why not, "It can only be said that the southerners do their best... the best cakes."

Ming Yilan was listening to them quietly, but when she heard the words, she laughed and said, "Sister Qin, you two narrow-minded ghosts have met, let it go, don't say Jiangnan is not Jiangnan, your sister Lin doesn't want to talk, just I want some cake."

Yan Qin sighed, "I thought she was a fairy-like younger sister, but who knew she was a glutton, come on, it's my fault. My sister will try the piece in the middle again, it's lychee cake, and I took candied lychee If you make it, you can eat it at this time."

Lin Daiyu tasted half of it this time, and Ming Yilan forbade her to eat any more, "The glutinous rice can't be melted after eating, and I still have to eat after a while, it's not good to eat the accumulated food."

Yan Qin covered her face with a handkerchief, "Well, it's my fault again."

It caused everyone to laugh again.

Lin Daiyu's yard is exactly the same as what Qiu Xin said, and it has been tidied up according to her preferences early on. It is next to Ming Yilan, and the yard is full of green bamboos, so it is named Qingyun Courtyard.

At night, Ming Yilan was worried about Lin Daiyu, so she asked Qiu Xin to visit again, and Lin Daiyu asked, "I don't know where the two sisters of the Yan family live."

"The two Miss Yan live in the Furong Courtyard behind the princess. It's a pity that the lotus is not in bloom at the moment, otherwise it would be the best place to enjoy the lotus there." Qiu Xin said, and lowered her voice again, "Miss Fifth is the second daughter of the General's Mansion. The wife is from the concubine, and Miss Six is ​​from the concubine."

Xiaoxiao reminded Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu recalled what the two of them were wearing, and it turned out that Yan Qin's was more expensive, not like the Jia family where all the concubines were raised together, and Sanchun dressed in the same way.

At first glance, Miss Six looks like Yingchun, gentle and amiable, but she is not as dull as Yingchun, and she also looks very respectful to Miss Fifth.

What she didn't know was that when she was talking to Qiu Xin, the nanny Wang Momo was explaining Jia's mansion to Ming Yilan.
