By Jia Xiuzhen

This Li Wan still doesn't know what the way of the gods is, but Jia Lan lives like a little fairy.He didn't ask Li Wan where he got the food for him, and from time to time he took Jia Jun and a few people of similar age to look for restaurants on Longxing Street ahead for a change of taste.The few of them are young, and they can't understand how many bright and dark turmoil in the school, so they can only get together to eat snacks and jelly beans.

Today Daiyu was sitting in the room.According to Madam Xin's rules, no one is left around for Daiyu to serve her when she is free, and even the night watch is moved to the door of the outer room.

Mother Xin said: "It is better to lie alone than to take a thousand packs of medicine." It is best to sleep alone at night without lights.

Zijuan refused at the beginning, "According to what the mother said, there is no ready-made water for the girl to drink at night, so why not let the girl come down and pour water by herself? Not to mention the light, it's pitch black, how scary! Second Master Bao now It takes two people in the same room to watch the night to sleep, let alone our girl."

Nanny Xin didn't argue with her either, she didn't know where she found a cup, poured water into it and covered it, it was still warm overnight.And put a jade bell on the small cabinet in front of the bed, saying that when Daiyu wants to call someone, she just shakes the outside and listens, and then comes in to serve.

Daiyu originally wanted to practice Qingming every night, but someone around her had to bother to cover it up, and Madam Xin's move was exactly what she wanted.It's just that she also understands Zijuan's loyalty, so she coaxed her to try it for two days first, and if it really doesn't work, then change it, anyway, it's all about her own house, what to be afraid of.

Zijuan knew that Madam Xin was sent by Lin Ruhai to take care of Daiyu, so she couldn't be very persistent, so she agreed.It is naturally good to try it this way, and it has become a practice over time.

At this moment Daiyu was sitting in the house, flipping through the book in her hand, when Mo Geer outside the door softly called the girl through the curtain, she raised her voice and said, "What's the matter? Come in."

Only then did Mo Ge'er lift the curtain and enter the room, and said to Daiyu with a smile: "Girl, just now the old lady sent Sister Hu Po over to let the girl go to the room. I think someone has come from our family." get up.

Daiyu put down the book and asked her, "But the old steward and the others are here? Who came inside to say hello?"

While changing Daiyu's clothes for meeting guests, Mo Ge'er said: "It is the old housekeepers who came to Beijing at the master's order. There are two daughters-in-law at the old lady's place, one is Xueyan's sister-in-law, and the other She is the second daughter-in-law of Wang Momo's family."

Just as Zijuan was talking, Zijuan came in with hot water and wiped Daiyu's hands with a hot towel. Seeing that Mo Ge'er was talking to Daiyu, she smiled and said, "Girl, there are a lot of people here, but what's the happy event?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "I can't tell right now, but I'll know if I go to the front and listen to it?"

Zijuan said angrily: "Young girl now believes in this little girl, Mo Ge'er, and she doesn't tell her servants anything. See if I don't find her fault and take care of her."

Mo Ge'er was squatting down to change Daiyu's shoes, and said with a smile: "Sister Zijuan, you have been pampering yourself for a long time, you should be more generous, why are you so jealous?"

After hearing this, Zijuan spat at her and said, "You are full of Huqin! Is this something you, a girl, can say?"

After putting on Daiyu's shoes, Mo Ge'er stood up and looked at Daiyu and said, "Miss, look, Sister Zijuan is really resolute, and she immediately found the wrong place when she said she wanted to take care of the servant girl." Several people laughed and cleaned up. Then he helped Daiyu to go to Jiamu's room.

Turning to the bright room, I saw that Sister Feng lifted the curtain inside and let Daiyu in, and said with a smile, "the old ancestor is talking about you, come quickly." After saying that, she took her to Jiamu's side hand in hand.

Daiyu asked An to salute first, and Mother Jia asked her to sit beside her, then she pointed to the floor and said, "Your father sent someone to see you, and there are a few other managers outside who are waiting for your second elder brother Lian. You knew already?"

Daiyu replied: "Earlier, my father wrote in a letter saying that he wanted to repair the old house in Beijing. I think it was for this reason."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "That's the matter. If you are a child, you don't know these things. If you know something, you can do it. I'm in charge. The outsiders only let them find your second elder brother Lian. If you want to ask anything and want to know, just ask your sister Feng."

Daiyu said with a smile, "don't worry, old ancestor. I don't need to worry about anything. My father has made arrangements, I just sit and listen. Second elder brother Lian and elder sister Feng have so many things to do in a day, how can such a small matter bother them so much?" ?”

Sister Feng hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister Lin really knows how to love others. Our ancestors have always been like this, and we are all used to it. With a salary, we wish we had to put in [-] cents of effort. Even so, Seeing that we still have to sleep at night, our ancestors are not very comfortable."

Jia's mother picked up something and threw it at her, and laughed and scolded: "Who tore her mouth away!"

Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to take Jia Mu's arm and said, "Don't be angry, old ancestor, don't be angry, I dare not tell the truth anymore. The younger sister's matter is left to us, and the old ancestor just puts a hundred hearts on it."

Jia Mu looked at her with a smile and said, "You received the errand in person. If there is anything wrong then, wait and receive the punishment."

Sister Feng nodded and bowed in a hurry, and when Jia Mu calmed down a little, she whispered: "It can be regarded as keeping this mouth, but I don't know when I can keep it." Jia Mu couldn't help laughing again. .

The two daughters-in-law sent by Lin's family got up from their twigs when they saw Daiyu coming in, and it was only now that they had time to come forward to greet her.Seeing that Mother Jia didn't intend to take the two of them down, Daiyu sat next to Mother Jia and asked casually about the family situation, and then said to Mother Jia: "Old ancestor, I think they just arrived in Beijing. I'm afraid there are a lot of things to do in the house, so let them go."

Mother Jia nodded and asked where they were placed. Mother Wang's second daughter-in-law hurriedly replied: "Although the old house needs to be repaired, it doesn't start all at once. The master ordered us to live with the original caretaker of the house. Arrangements were made yesterday. The master said that the repair pattern of the house had been decided early in the morning and had been handed over to the masters of the garden. It’s just that we have to ask the girl to come over to see how the repairs are going and then tell the master when the time comes.”

Mother Jia frowned and said, "Why didn't I hear you mention it just now? Yu'er is a little girl's house, and the garden was messy when she was repairing it. How can she come in and out at will? Who can afford it if there is a mistake?"

Daiyu was inconvenient to make a sound, and the daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "The master has also considered this, so this time to repair the house, in addition to the old housekeeper, another female in charge has been invited. Due to the delay of the boat schedule, it will take two days to arrive in Beijing." .”

Jia Mu thought that when people arrived, they would naturally come to visit, and it would not be too late to talk when they saw it, so they stopped talking.Daiyu saw what Jiamu meant, and Fang whispered, "You have just arrived in Beijing, and you have a lot of things to do, so go." Then the two daughters-in-law came up and kowtowed to say goodbye.

Daiyu chatted and laughed with Jiamu again, and went back to her room when she saw that Jiamu was a little tired.After changing the clothes at home and serving hot tea, I saw Mother Xin come back from outside.

Before she could open her mouth, Daiyu smiled and said, "Did Mammy send someone out?" Nanny Xin laughed and said, "You can't hide anything from the girl."

Seeing that Daiyu was all in order, she smiled and continued, "They thought they could talk to the girl in private, but they didn't expect to have time this time. Don't worry, girl, everything is in order. The master invited me this time It also has a bit of history, such a trivial matter as repairing a house is not easy. When the garden is repaired, I will choose a girl with good weather to go home and have a look. If there is anything that is not satisfactory, let them change it."

Daiyu heard that sentence and went home to have a look, but felt something warm and sore in her heart, she couldn't help sighing and said: "My father is not here, and I can't live alone, so what doesn't suit me."

Mother Xin smiled and said: "Look at what the girl said. Naturally, I have the final say on my own family, and it must be what I want. If my family still wants to make do, then where else can I find a place that suits my wishes?" ?Although the girl is young now, and she is raised by the old lady, she is still the eldest girl of the Lin family. Not to mention, when the time comes for the New Year's sacrifice, the master said, and the girl in Beijing will preside over it, and the eldest daughter is like a son."

Daiyu was surprised: "Dad said that?"

Nanny Xin nodded repeatedly: "That's not true."

Daiyu's mind was so clear that she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions after hearing this.Sister Xin looked at the corners of her mouth.

What did Lin Ruhai do? A few days later, the headmistress invited by the Lin family brought people to Jia's mansion for a visit. This time, Mother Jia didn't stop her, and they went to Daiyu's house after they left Jiamu's upper room.

They talked to each other, but Jia's mother wasted a lot of thinking. Why did the Lin family want to repair the house? Could it be that my uncle is going back to Beijing?But he didn't listen to the wind.Furthermore, although building a house cannot be said to be a trivial matter, but I invited the female sacrifice wine of the Cheng family in Runan, and I knew it was a bit of a real chapter just now when I saw it. Speaking of which, the authority in his hand is much greater than that of ordinary men.

Speaking of this married family is somewhat similar to the Mingzhou Mohist school. If it is compared to people, it can be said that they are "old but not dead", and they bear a crown that has been passed down from generation to generation, which makes people dare not underestimate it.In the previous dynasty, there were a lot of high-ranking officials, and now they have turned around and started business for several generations, but none of them came from the same family. There is still a scholarly memorial archway, and they have taken up face and benefits. It's stuffy.

The Lin family hired such a person to build an old house. I don't know if this uncle really loves his daughter so much, or if the Lin family is like this.In any case, it made people feel relieved that Daiyu was going to the house.Firstly, there is the way for the female sacrifice wine, and secondly, there is nothing to say about the reputation of having a family.At this moment, Mother Jia felt that she could not see the Lin family clearly. To be able to make friends with people like the Mohist family in Mingzhou and the Cheng family in Runan, is it true that she is the Gusu Lin family who has been a scholar for generations?

Daiyu's nature is not lively, and naturally she doesn't like to see strangers, but she didn't know what happened these days. First, Mo Ge'er and Nanny Xin came by her side, and then she wanted to see her own daughter-in-law. Now There were six or seven unfamiliar faces standing and sitting in the room.Fortunately, each of these people has a certain amount of advance and retreat, which is not embarrassing.

The woman in charge is surnamed Rong, and she has nothing to say with Daiyu, a little girl who was raised in a deep boudoir, and she herself was not born as a servant, and her decision to kill is stronger than that of a man.After sitting for a while, he saluted and said goodbye after saying a few words.

Nanny Xin took the errand to send someone off, and walked in front with Manager Rong, and asked in a low voice with great pleasure: "Why is my sister here? Could it be that there is something big going on?"

Manager Rong curled his lips slightly, and said in a low voice, "It's such a big battle, but it's just a matter of old in-laws in the house of the aristocratic family, so it's not a neat deal."

Sister Xin could hear a bit of displeasure from her words, and said: "Then sister pushes it, your temper, how can you bear this."

Only then did Director Rong turn his face to look at Nanny Xin, and said with a half smile on his face: "You still don't know about those girls? It's usually rare to show off in front of the world. Now that you have such an opportunity, how can you do it?" Ken Ansheng? They are gearing up to show off. I can't stop them, and it's not the time to show off in the south, and they are idle, so they brought people over." After a moment of pondering, he said , "Besides, it seems that there is Tongbi Pavilion's handwriting in it. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."

Nanny Xin nodded and said, "Mo Ge'er and I meant Tongbi Pavilion, but I didn't expect that even my sister would be moved."

Having said that, I couldn't help feeling a bit worried, Rong Zhang looked at it and said with a smile: "Why are you frowning, it's just to protect a girl, what's the big deal?"

Mother Xin thought about it and smiled: "I've seen a lot of tricky things, so I thought about it at first."

After they talked, they arrived at the second gate. There were three large carts parked outside the gate. Manager Rong lowered his head and said, "What does he have to do to stop us?" Mammy nodded and left with the others.

The story of the Lin family's building of the house was widely spread in Jia's mansion within a few days.Naturally, they each had their own thoughts, not to mention, the first Baoyu couldn't stop, first ran to Jiamu's obsession, and then left Qin Zhong who came back together and went straight to Daiyu.

Zijuan lifted the curtain and let Baoyu enter the room. Nanny Xin was picking up jewelry for spring makeup with Daiyu, and she hurriedly bowed when she saw Baoyu come in.It's strange to say that Baoyu always hated those daughters-in-law and mother-in-law the most, but she had two respects for Nanny Xin.Seeing Nanny Xin salute, she hurriedly waved her hand, and then said to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, your house has been repaired, are you going to move back?"

Daiyu immediately understood what Baoyu said, but she laughed secretly in her heart but still narrowly said: "That's right, I'm discussing the layout of my room now, Brother Bao, can you give me the details?"

When Baoyu saw that there were some pattern books scattered on the table, she felt her chest was burning and out of breath. Mother Xin hurriedly scolded Daiyu and said, "Miss is playing tricks again, what are you trying to do to Master Bao?" !"

Baoyu was still in a state of perplexity. Mother Xin gave her a wink. Zijuan had already brought tea, and she let Baoyu sit on a chair beside her, and comforted her softly: "Second master, don't worry, our girl is teasing you. The master didn't When you come to Beijing, how can the girl go back and live alone. The old lady will definitely not allow it."

Baoyu felt a little relieved when he heard that, and pointed to the album on the table. Daiyu also laughed and said, "What kind of decoration is this? You don't know how to look carefully, you are an idiot." He bowed his head and chuckled.

Baoyu dazedly took a few pieces of jade paper from someone who didn't know who handed it over, and took a closer look, where there were some house decorations, it turned out to be some patterns of hairpin flowers covering the temples, which was a bit more novel than the usual ones seen outside.He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "My sister coaxed me again."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Who is coaxing you? It was you who asked the question yourself. I just followed your words."

Baoyu turned her head to the side and asked Mother Xin, "Mother just said that she won't move back? Then why did you suddenly talk about building a house?"

Mother Xin replied: "This house has been around for a long time. Although it has not been broken and maintained, the house that cannot be maintained is easy to be destroyed. It is also the old house of the Lin family. The master decided to find someone to repair it. After coming again, the girl will have a banquet for a sister. My best friend, there is a place to go."

Baoyu nodded and said, "That's how it is."

Xiren had just seen Baoyu's face change and made his calf weak. Now that he came back, he was secretly relieved, and said to Mammy Xin: "Mammy doesn't know, our second master was still in the old lady's house earlier. There is a lot of trouble there, and the old lady has sent people to prevent the Lin family from repairing the house." Everyone laughed out loud when they heard this, Baoyu had always been used to mischief, and didn't think it was disobedient.But Daiyu said from the side: "Why is Brother Bao so free today, don't you need to study when you come back from school?" Baoyu remembered that she was in a hurry to find Daiyu, and forgot Qin Zhong outside, thinking of Qin Zhong. Zhong Xianglai's face was soft and thin-skinned, fearing that he was going to be annoyed, he stuck out his tongue to make a face at Daiyu, explained a few words to the attacker before rushing out.

When I arrived at Jiamu's outer courtyard, I saw that Qin Zhong was talking and laughing with a little nun, but she was the smart son of Shuiyue nunnery, so I was relieved.
