Red Mansions: No Tears

After all, Lin Daiyu's body is still a little weak. Originally, she just wanted to rest for a while and think about the way to go in the future. Unexpectedly, she was in a daze and fell asleep in a trance. She just came upstairs. Mammy woke her up.

"How can the eldest girl sleep here? It's still the time of the cold spring, so don't freeze your body if you don't pay attention." As soon as Sister Wen entered the door, she saw Lin Daiyu sleeping on the imperial concubine's couch under the window. She couldn't help feeling distressed and quickly took out a thin quilt from the cabinet to cover her up. Unexpectedly, just as the quilt was pulled, Lin Daiyu was awakened by her actions. sentence.

"Are you... Nanny Wen?" Lin Daiyu looked at the familiar old nanny in front of her, and the memory of the original owner immediately came to mind, and she yelled hesitantly.

"Miss, do you still remember who I am?" Nanny Wen stared at Lin Daiyu's face in surprise, and after a while began to touch her hands and body to look at Lin Daiyu. It doesn’t seem like she’s grown much compared to when she left home? The eldest girl should have lived in the capital for two or three years, right? Why doesn’t she seem to have grown any flesh?”

"The food at grandma's house is not as delicious as Mammy Wen's, so Yu'er can't eat it..." Lin Daiyu couldn't help coquettishly at Mammy Wen, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Really? At the beginning, I also wanted to go with the eldest girl. Unfortunately, the master said that no one would take care of the inner house. He didn't want to let the two aunts take care of things. He insisted on staying and helping me, so I had to let Wang Nao Momo went with you, and speaking of Momo Wang...why didn’t she come back with the eldest girl? And where are the snow geese? When the eldest girl went to Beijing, she only brought them two with her. How come none of them are with the eldest girl now? That ..." Mother Wen asked a lot, and when she said this, she suddenly stopped and looked outside the door, and after confirming that there was no one outside, she lowered her voice and continued to ask: "What is that girl named Zijuan?" Why did the eldest girl bring her back?"

Lin Daiyu saw that the nanny cared for her as much as the original owner remembered, and immediately felt that she might have a good helper, but she still didn't dare to reveal too much, so she thought about it and replied: "Zijuan was originally a grandmother's yard. The girl in the house, my grandmother saw that Xueyan didn't understand many things, so she was allocated to me to serve me. As for Wang Momo...you also know that she was originally a dowry companion who married with her mother in the early years. There are no relatives of hers, but there are still many people who have relatives or old friends with her in the Duke Rong's mansion. I saw that she was getting old, so I simply left her in the capital for the elderly, but Xueyan ...But before we were about to set off, I somehow sprained my foot. I was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so I told her not to come back with me and stay in the capital. place."

"It turned out to be like this... I thought they didn't know how to take good care of the eldest girl after they left the mansion. When the wife was there, they had so much respect for Wang Momo's family, otherwise they wouldn't have left early because of pity for her. , and there is no one and a half daughter, pointing her to be the nanny of the eldest girl. To put it bluntly, it is because the status of the master's nanny is not ordinary. , I will not let her go, but after all, there is a difference between master and servant, if it makes her forget her identity, it would be wrong." Wen Nuo said with a clear face.

"How could it be?" Lin Daiyu heard the words, although her heart moved, she still just perfunctory with a smile on her mouth.

At this time, several women came in carrying steaming buckets, and walked familiarly behind a six-panel screen, and then there was a sound of pouring water, and after a while, the women came out again, and one of them smiled on the ground. She bowed to Lin Daiyu before and said: "The hot water is ready, the eldest girl hastened to soak in the hot water, and when she finishes grooming, she can just serve the food."

"Oh! This is..." Lin Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Sister Wen suspiciously.

"Her surname is Qiu, and the eldest girl calls her Nanny Qiu. Nanny Qiu is the nurse in charge of the big kitchen. She is best at making desserts. If there is any pastry that the eldest girl wants to eat, just tell her. She will definitely satisfy the eldest girl, but ah! This old lady has always been very arrogant, always saying that there is no dim sum in the world that she can't make. What~ we really can’t tell, the pastry she can’t make is probably because we don’t have much experience, the eldest girl should have seen a lot of new things in Beijing, you might as well give it a try and see if you can make it She failed the exam, so that she can see what is meant by 'There are people beyond people, there is a sky beyond the sky'." Sister Wen explained the identity of the leading woman with a smile, and from her tone, it seemed that the two had a very good friendship.

That Nanny Qiu was also the woman who joked downstairs that she would beg for soap for her daughter. Although she was the kitchen steward who was transferred in the past two years, it was not the first time she saw Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu has never been deliberately taught by Jia Min, and she doesn't understand or care about the affairs of the Lin family's inner house, so there are dozens of women and maids in the mansion. She only knows the few women and maids who have been serving Jia Min all the year round, and the inner house. The general steward, Mrs. Wen.

For some unknown reason, shortly after Jia Min's death, the maidservants who had been serving her asked to leave their citizenship one by one, and Lin Hai probably didn't want to see these servants who would cause him to miss his dead wife, so they all He agreed without saying a word, and in the end, the remaining mother Wang did not leave the Lin family because she was single and Lin Daiyu's nanny, and there was another person who came from Jia's mansion and did not leave the Lin family, which was exactly what I mentioned earlier. That Aunt Chen, uh...of course it's because she is actually part of the Lin family now, so naturally she can't leave easily.

Although Lin Daiyu brought people from the Rongguo Mansion this time, Madam Wen dared not say that she trusted her [-]%, but she also did not dare to cut off her job at will, so she still let Zijuan and two little maids wait on Lin Daiyu to take a bath After changing clothes and having another sumptuous dinner, Lin Daiyu took a rest early that night.

Because she didn't have that dangling feeling of floating on the boat, Lin Daiyu slept much more peacefully than before, and naturally woke up in a particularly good spirit the next morning.

Lin Daiyu came directly to Lin Hai's room as soon as she finished her breakfast. Just as Lin Hai was about to drink medicine, she stepped forward and offered to serve her father.

Lin Hai drank the medicine very slowly, and it seemed that it was difficult to swallow. It took nearly two quarters of an hour to drink a small bowl.

"Which doctor Lin Butler invited to see Dad? How long does it usually take for another consultation?" Lin Daiyu waited for Lin Hai to drink the medicine and rest again, then went to the porch outside the door and asked the person standing there Butler Lin inquired.

"Master's illness has always been treated by the best Doctor Yu in Fucheng. Every three days, Doctor Yu will come over and prescribe medicine for Master again." Steward Lin hesitated for a while before answering Lin Daiyu's question.

"Have you ever invited other doctors to see it?" Lin Daiyu thought that the best one might not be the most suitable one, even if it was just to delay Lin Hai's condition, she would have to try a few more times.

"Actually... When the master's body started to feel wrong, I invited almost all the doctors in the prefecture, but the improvement became less and less. In the end, only the medicine prescribed by Doctor Yu made the master look better. I just made up my own mind and asked Dr. Yu to come over to see the master." Steward Lin sighed helplessly.

"Really?" Lin Daiyu sighed slightly in her heart. It seems that Lin Hai's illness is really not due to other reasons... But is the relationship between him and his wife really that good?Is it really because of missing Jia Min that he became ill over time?

"Why doesn't Daddy let the two aunts serve him? No matter how sensible the boys are, they are not as careful as women." Lin Daiyu thought for a while and asked again.

"I don't know what the master is. I don't know. In fact, after my wife was seriously ill, the master didn't go into the rooms of those aunts. Aunt Wu and Aunt Chen heard that the master was sick, so they sent maids to come with me several times. She said that she wanted to come and serve the master, but the master never agreed, and only asked them to stay in her own room, and did not allow them to interfere in any affairs of the house. Once a year ago, Aunt Wu asked the master for instructions that she wanted to go. She was offering incense in a temple outside the city to pray for the master, but the master scolded her." Steward Lin said with a wry smile.

"Then I can only ask Dr. Yu to do his best..." Lin Daiyu heard Lin Butler's words, and the thought in her heart was that Lin Hai really didn't plan to take care of her daughter?Still think that Aunt Wu wants to go to the temple to offer incense, and she is afraid that she has two intentions?

Lin Daiyu shook her head in puzzlement. She couldn't understand Lin Hai's real thoughts, but judging from the fact that the original owner had stayed in Rongguo's mansion for three years, she didn't think that Aunt Wu would get any benefit from such a performance. A concubine is a concubine. It is not because of her good performance that Lin Hai will straighten her up. Lin Hai was born in a noble and wealthy family of four generations of nobles and scholars. He can't do such a stupid thing like a concubine as a wife. Only Jia Yucun can do that kind of stupid thing. That kind of small door and small family can only be done by villains who understand the principle of "bereft of gratitude".

So no matter how she looks at it, she thinks that Lin Hai doesn't want to live anymore. How can a person who doesn't want to live rekindle his motivation to live?Lin Daiyu felt that she did not come from a psychology degree... sure enough... some things were not because she didn't want to do them, but because she really couldn't achieve such lofty and profound goals.

It was around noon when Jia Lian came to greet Lin Hai. At this time, Lin Hai also got up from a nap, and asked the servant to help him walk around the room. He just sat back on the bed and drank a few sips of water.

Jia Lian saw that Lin Hai's complexion looked good, and congratulated Lin Hai with a smile that he was in good spirits on a happy occasion. I really don't know what kind of argument this is... Then he said that he had been in the capital for many years and had never seen the scenery of Yangzhou, so he planned to take the opportunity to go out and see it .

Hearing this, Lin Hai graciously asked Lin Butler to fetch 1000 taels of silver bills to Jia Lian, and told Jia Lian not to worry about his illness for the time being, and if something happened, he would send someone to find him and come back, so that he could take a good tour of Yangzhou some.

Lin Daiyu, who was standing by the side at that time, couldn't help but lowered her head silently when she saw this scene, and twitched the corners of her lips in disdain, thinking that Lin Hai's actions were too generous, no wonder the Jia family looked at them with red eyes and itchy hands, 1000 Two denarii!He didn't know that if ordinary people could have 1000 taels, would it be enough to live two lives? ?
