Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

When everyone was waiting for the news of Master Lin's death, Lin Daiyu personally made nourishing pigeon soup and gave it to Lin Ruhai. She said shyly, "Daughter has practiced twice before, father, how does it taste?"

Lin Ruhai didn't even need to be fed. He took the bowl by himself, took a sip in a hurry, and said happily, "It tastes great."

"Father, don't fool Yu'er." Lin Daiyu smiled with eyebrows crooked, extremely happy.

"How come, it's really delicious, I don't want Yu'er to have such a craft."

"It's all taught by Nanny Li. Since it's delicious, Yu'er will make it for my father tomorrow. When will my father drink this pigeon to replenish energy?"

"Don't be too tired, just tell them to do it."

"They belong to them. This is Yu'er's filial piety. If you want to drink, give me a drink." Lu Yi rushed out from nowhere, holding a sword in his hand.

Lin Ruhai glared at him, "Why are you everywhere?"

"If uncle likes it, I'll give you a cup tomorrow." Lin Daiyu stood up and bowed to Lu Yi, seeing that he was sweating profusely, "But it's hot in the house? I'll get someone to bring you an ice basin later."

Although it is early summer, it is hot in the south early, and it is also a bit hot.

"No need, I just practiced a few tricks with the boy from the Yan family. Good boy, he kept his secrets." Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Fortunately, I still beat the shit out of me."

Lin Ruhai was speechless, pointing at him and saying, "How old is he, how old are you? With this little talent, bullying a child, you must be careful that Yan Jingshan entrusts you with a dream."

Seeing what they were talking about, Lin Daiyu quietly withdrew, and asked Xueque on the way, "Are all the summer shirts in the mansion ready?"

"It's all ready."

"You take a few pieces of gauze for use in a while, and ask the needle and thread to rush out to Uncle Lu and Brother Yan. Even the two doctors who came here must not miss it. Ask someone to ask Madam Liu, Did we make the people accompanying Brother Yan together? Everyone in the princess’ mansion has custom-made clothes, all of the same color.” Lin Daiyu said, “Have you prepared all the ice for summer?”

"The ice is already in the ice cellar." Xueque said, "What color gauze should I choose for Uncle Lu and Young Master Yan?"

Lin Daiyu was stunned, "You took navy blue and refreshing colors like lake green and asked them to choose by themselves. You can take an extra horse for the navy blue one, and I'll make it for my father."

In the afternoon, Yan Ji stared at the pile of fabrics in front of him, and was a little dazed. Lu Yi patted him and said, "If you tell me to choose, you can choose. You look like a girl."

Yan Ji glanced at him slowly, "Uncle chooses first, nephew dare not make mistakes."

Lu Yi picked all dark colors, and emphasized that embroidery is not allowed, "I hate those flowers and plants the most."

Yan Ji, who had willow-leaf patterns on the collar and cuffs, touched his cuffs silently, and chose something like lake green, sky, blue, moon and white.Lu Yi pushed him away again, "It's really a girl, she's dressed so plainly."

"Not only plain, but also embroidery." Yan Ji ignored him.

Only then did Nanny Liu come forward and said, "Miss Lin really has a heart, and she specially prepared materials for the people who brought us. I said I would give her money, but she didn't want it anyway."

Yan Ji said, "Since she doesn't want it, I'll just find some exquisite things as a thank you later."

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him in the outer courtyard, Grandma Liu took the materials and went back to cut clothes.She is not very good at needlework, so she had to tell the maid about Yan Ji's usual habits.

Lin Daiyu also apologized to her, "I thought too late, now I have to wrong Brother Yan for a day or two."

Nanny Liu said, "Miss Lin, if you want to say that, brother Ji doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing even in the mansion. The princess said that the boy should not be too spoiled."

Lin Daiyu thought that Jia Baoyu's clothes were never made by needleworkers, they were all rich and exquisite.Although she never wanted anything from their sewing room in Jia's mansion, Lin's mansion was different. There were a few maids with excellent embroidery work on the needlework, and the manager was an embroiderer. I like to ask her about thread usage.

She didn't sell herself to the Lin family, she just made money by relying on her skills, she was a very strong person.

Never thought that this would be a joke for Xia Yi.

Lin Daiyu cuts slowly, but her needlework is very meticulous. When she made clothes for Lin Ruhai, her maids made summer clothes for her.

This time, I brought back two second-class maids, Luling and Luming. Luling was ingenious. She covered the pleated skirt with a layer of light gauze, and the inner skirt was embroidered with cloud-patterned pavilions, making her walk like a fairyland.

Lin Daiyu liked it very much, so she asked her to embroider another set for herself.

Luling then made a moon-white beige with a white thread-pick skirt, with a willow branch hanging down from the right shoulder, and embroidered a few willow leaves on the left.

Lin Daiyu changed into Lin Ruhai the next day to greet Lin Ruhai, but Lu Yi fell on his back with a smile.

Lu Yi was blowing the wind in the yard, and seeing her from a distance, he said, "Yu'er came by coincidence, your father is asking Brother Ji about his homework, go and teach him."

Lin Daiyu stepped a little faster, and complained softly, "Father is not well yet, why did he ask about homework, brother Yan can't run away."

When she approached, Lu Yi burst out laughing and couldn't stop, "Yu'er is well dressed today."

Lin Daiyu checked herself up and down, and there was nothing inappropriate or disrespectful, and a small white jade pendant hung around her waist.She was no stranger to this uncle, so she saluted and entered the house.

The gentle young man was standing in front of the hospital bed, answering something.

Lin Daiyu didn't hear what he said, she just looked at the silhouette and felt a little silly.

This Yan Ji was wearing a round neck gown with arrow sleeves, which was also moon white, which seemed to be the same color as her beige.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's footsteps, he hurriedly stopped talking, and bowed his head to step aside to make way for him. Lin Daiyu didn't raise her eyes to look at him, but glanced at his cuffs and willow leaves from the corners of her eyes.

Feeling ashamed and annoyed in my heart, I didn't call him, but just glanced at Lin Ruhai, "Father must not be too tired, so I realized that I forgot to bring the soup on the pot, so I came here as soon as I went."

Although she had stewed soup, it was a soothing soup that she was going to send at night.

Yan Ji lowered his head, except for some white skirts, he didn't see anything, so he only avoided Lin Daiyu when he saw him coming.

After leaving the gate of the main courtyard, Lin Daiyu squeezed her handkerchief and said, "When I come to see my father later, I ask people to see if Brother Yan is there first. It's not a loss of etiquette."

Xue Que saw everything clearly from behind, just pretending not to know, and smiled, "I see, there is no young master in the manor, so I forgot... Miss, please forgive me, this servant has said the wrong thing."

There used to be a young master in the mansion, but it's gone.

Lin Daiyu didn't care about her, and sighed, "There will be one in the future."

"Could it be that the master wants to continue?" Xueque asked in surprise, the stepmother is not easy to get along with, so what should I do when the time comes to grind the girl.

"No, father wants to have a step-heir, it's only a matter of these few months." Lin Daiyu looked at the sky with some confusion, "You said, brother is here, which courtyard should I put him in? I don't know. Father will choose how old it is, if it is too old, it will have to live directly in the outer courtyard."

She would never have imagined that Lin Ruhai would ask Lu Yi to take her to pick out his younger brother in person from the homes of those he liked.

Lin Ruhai looked at her daughter who had changed her dress, "I've already got through with Madam Li. I'm sick and can't come out. You and Uncle Lu can go and see."

Lin Daiyu opened her mouth in surprise, "I'm going?"

"Yes, but if they know your identity, they must have concealed it a lot. Your Uncle Lu will pretend to be the steward of the family, so you will pretend to be his little maid."

This was so shocking, Lin Daiyu was still in a daze.

Lin Ruhai saw her clever daughter's dumbfounded look, and thought it was quite cute, and said with a smile, "God knows, you know, I know, it's not breaking the rules if you don't tell others, not to mention your mother-in-law agrees." gone."

Lin Daiyu suddenly said, "I don't even look like a maid."

Lin Ruhai laughed loudly, "Yu'er was born too well, but it really doesn't look like it."

But with Lu Yi's miraculous ointment, this is not a problem.

Lu Yi took a paintbrush and rubbed and painted on her face. After a while, the little beauty who was originally carved with powder and jade turned into a rough girl with a slightly sallow complexion.

Lu Yi even drew a large mole under her eyes.

Xueque changed her into a set of little maid's light-yellow clothes, with a green bijia on the outside.Among her maids, only Xueque knew about this, and she had to stay at Lin Ruhai's place to cover for Lin Daiyu.

After everything was packed, Lu Yi yelled out the door, "Xiao Yan, are you alright?"

The young man in Tsing Yi stood at the door and cupped his hands, "Go back to Manager Lu, the little ones are ready."

But Yan Ji.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help taking a sneak peek at him, and found that his face was not painted, and he was still delicate and elegant, blinking and said, "Brother Yan also has to draw, he looks like a big boy who ran out to play at home." Master."

"Isn't he the young master who ran away from home?" Lu Yi took out his ointment and pen, "Come here, Young Master Yan, let me fix it for you."

Finally, a large mole was drawn on the corner of his mouth.

The corner of Yan Ji's mouth twitched, and he smiled helplessly.

The first family I went to was a cousin of the head of the Lin family, who was always referred to as Fourth Master Lin. This fourth master Lin was over half a hundred years old and had three sons. The father and son were all scholars. Struggle, because of this, the family has a very difficult life, and has already used the dowry of the daughter-in-law.

The child to be adopted is the youngest of his third son, only a little over one year old, and still babbling.

They had inquired a long time ago, and the children in the other families were much older than their children. Whoever adopted adopted wanted to be as young as possible, and children who remembered things were not popular.

Originally thought that it was either Lin Ruhai or Lin Daiyu who would come, but it turned out to be just a second-class steward with a maid.

Fourth Master Lin put out his heart to go out to greet him. Scholars must not lose their strength of character.He sat in the main hall and waited for the steward to come to see him.

Lu Yi just cupped his hands at him, "Please take the little one to meet the young master."

Lin Daiyu and Yan Ji just stood behind him with their heads down.

Fourth Master Lin glanced at the three of them and nodded, but his wife muttered a few words, "It is said that Lin Ruhai is a second-rank official residence, and his family has a big business. Why is the maid at home so ugly, not as beautiful as ours?" Woolen cloth."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was not angry, but curled the corners of her mouth mischievously.

Yan Ji glanced at her, and saw that although she looked ugly, her eyes were shining brightly, and there was a small dimple on her lips.
