[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

Chapter 10

Here, Daiyu took advantage of this situation to tidy up the inner courtyard, but the red plums in her room were not dealt with and kept as usual.

However, after Widow Zhao was dealt with, Hongmei became obviously absent-minded, and once came to Daiyu's room to serve in Daiyu's room in a daze with only one sock on.

It's just that Daiyu went on as usual, and after a few days of trembling, Hongmei gradually recovered, thinking that no one else had noticed.

Daiyu expected that Hongmei would not be able to find anyone to contact the outside world without the help of Widow Zhao, so she would do everything possible to ask someone to spread the news.Hongmei's days in the mansion are short, and the mansion has just been cleaned, and the only person Hongmei can trust is Lan Ling.

Two days earlier, Daiyu learned from Housekeeper Lin that Lan Ling's family was considered well-to-do, and her father was a scholar.Later married a wife.Apart from drinking and beating his wife every day, and bragging outside, he doesn't care about family affairs.After a few years, the family's situation became more and more difficult, and it happened that the Lin family was buying a girl, and the eldest girl, Lan Ling, entered the Lin family.

The maid of the Lin family has a monthly payment of two konny silver, and every time Lan Ling Xiaoshun receives the money, she will give it to her old mother in the concierge.

This day was posted a month ago, Lan Ling took the pair of insoles and the two coins she had made to find the porter as usual.Before leaving the hospital, he saw Hongmei walking over, and seeing Lan Ling, he said, "Can I do my sister a favor?" Then he took out a cloth bag.

Lan Ling knew that Hongmei had no family, so she asked a little strangely, "Sister Hongmei?"

You must know that sending things out of the inner courtyard has to be inspected, and Hongmei's package looks really bold.Seeing Lan Ling's concerns, Hongmei pulled Lan Ling over and said in a low voice: "My family members have died since I was a child, so the shopkeeper of the Tongfu Inn gave me a few mouthfuls of food. I don't know what to do. I bought two pieces of clothes and asked your mother to bring them to her, and my heart will be healed."

As soon as Lan Ling heard it, she naturally agreed, and said: "Sister is so kind, there will be good results in the future."

Hongmei said with a smile: "Not yet, Miss will be back soon after walking."

Lan Ling immediately waved goodbye to Hongmei and walked outside with her things.

This way, she walked around the rockery along the path and walked to the entrance of the outer courtyard. When she was about to go to the corridor, she heard someone calling her from the corridor.

Turning his head to look, he saw Miss Wang Momo and Yan Gui looking at him.Lan Xiang was startled at the moment, the cloth in his hand was tightly wrapped, and he walked over to Daiyu and said, "Greetings, miss."

Daiyu looked at the cloth bag in her hand and said, "You are my close girl, so you don't have to behave like this."

Lan Ling looked at Dai Yuyan and smiled at Yan Yan, and immediately felt relieved. The Lin family has always treated the servants kindly, and it is not bad to give her mother the money she saved, so she immediately felt relieved and said: "Miss is sympathetic to us. We are lucky, but we girls can't break the rules because of Miss' kindness."

Daiyu looked at Lanling for a while, then said to her: "You know very well, what are you holding in your arms?"

Lan Ling said: "Sister Hongmei asked me to ask my mother to send the clothes to the owner of Tongfu Inn."

Wang Momo beside Daiyu said: "It's not good for the girl next to Miss to give clothes to outsiders!"

Lan Ling glanced at Daiyu, lowered her head and said, "Sister Hongmei said that the boss is kind to her."

After hearing this, Wang Momo opened the bag, and found two very ordinary coats.After turning over, there is no interlayer and no entrainment.Then he took a peek at his own lady.

Daiyu saw that these two clothes were really ordinary, but there were many flowers and plants embroidered on the cuffs and necklines. She originally thought that Hongmei would not be able to resist looking for an opportunity to pass on the news.This was her best chance, how could she let it go.Thinking of this, he glanced at the two clothes again, and while he was thinking about it, Yan Gui said beside him: "The embroidered words seem to be a bit of an eyesore."

These words were like enlightenment, Daiyu pulled the sleeves of the dress up and squinted at the light. Although the colorful flowers and plants embroidered looked dazzled, but upon closer inspection the blue silk thread vaguely looked like a few words.

From then on, Yan Gui put the sleeves of the clothes side by side and put them together, and it turned out to be eight big characters: "Zhao Da was arrested, come quickly."

Lan Ling, who was standing in front of Daiyu with her head bowed, knelt down in front of Daiyu and said, "Miss, please forgive me, I really don't know."

Daiyu looked at Lan Ling and saw that she was angry and frightened, so she said: "You and Hongmei are often together, you really don't know about this?"

Lan Ling's face turned pale, and she knew that this was a big deal, so she pointed to the sky and said, "Hongmei and I only met when we entered the mansion together. .”

"Really?" Daiyu handed the clothes to Yan Gui, and Yan Gui still stuck it up as it was, and still handed it to Lan Ling.

But Lan Ling refused to take it, and just said blindly: "I really don't know." Lan Ling looked at Daiyu, and said everything that Hongmei taught her to do things and how to please Daiyu in the past, Everything was detailed, even Hongmei taught Lan Ling how to dress.

Daiyu laughed when she heard this, seeing Lan Ling wearing a blue embroidered jacket with a newly picked hibiscus flower on her head, she was really pleasing.Daiyu turned to Wang Momo and said, "This Hongmei is really smart, and this Lan Ling really looks good in her clothes."

After hearing this, Lan Ling was not only displeased, but even more frightened.

Seeing her like this, Daiyu said: "Don't be afraid, you still take this clothes and ask your mother to bring it to the shopkeeper of Tongfu. From now on, if Hongmei has anything to ask you, I will do it if you come back."

Lan Ling knew in her heart that she was going to let herself go, so Dang even wept with joy, took the package of clothes and said: "Miss, I will never forget this kindness in my life."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Don't talk to me, I just remind you that there is no one in this world who is nice to you for no reason. This Hongmei has such a skill to please people, she doesn't need it, she has to give half of the score You are still afraid that she will be dazzling, so that you can be the first bird."

After hearing this, Lan Ling was completely awakened. Among other things, he finally understood why those old people in the Guangfu gave him the wrong look.As the saying goes, the gun hits the bird first, although Hongmei also won the eyes of the master, but Hongmei put herself on the front in everything, and she was really helping her block the gun.

Seeing Hongmei let herself do this now, it's really two-faced and three-handed, it's not human.

Seeing that her expression changed a few times, Daiyu knew that she must be thinking about it, and said: "After you go back, you can still be with her as usual, just pretend it's nothing."

"I see." Lan Ling knelt on the ground and said.

Seeing Lan Ling running away with her clothes in her arms, Wang Momo didn't understand. In her mind, Daiyu shouldn't do this, and she just left it to the master, so why bother.

It's just that now that Daiyu is grown up, Mother Wang is just thinking about what she said.

Finally, there was someone to watch over Hongmei's matter, but Lan Ling had some skills, but she didn't help.

Daiyu still sees a doctor every day, practices calligraphy, plays the piano, and insists on walking twice a day after meals.Lin Ruhai was supervised by Daiyu, and Daiyu talked and laughed in front of Lin Ruhai every day, so the days were pleasant.

The days passed quickly, and Aunt Liu came to Daiyu's side every day to ask for instructions on the big and small affairs of the mansion.Daiyu looked at the various presents given this year, and when she turned to Jia's mansion, she saw that there were many more than other mansions, especially the pair of red corals that her father just got last year were also on the gift list.

Daiyu looked at the list and said: "It's okay that Jia's house has more rituals than other houses, but the list you made is too heavy."

Aunt Liu was taken aback, and then said: "Miss, this Jia's house is Madam's natal family and Missy's natal family, this ceremony is still relatively light compared to previous years."

Daiyu naturally knew that Aunt Liu's words were true, she had already read the account books before, so why didn't she know.In the past, many expensive and heavy New Year gifts were sent every year, but the Jia Mansion often sent very ordinary things. If it weren't for the fact that Jia Mu occasionally added some satin jewelry to this New Year gift, who would care about this New Year gift? I thought it was a face gift from ordinary officials.

Now that Daiyu is in charge, thinking about her previous life, she didn't want to ask them for justice, and she didn't want to be taken advantage of for nothing.Dang even picked up the pen and crossed out several of them.All in all, it was one more piece of brocade than what Jia's mansion gave.

Aunt Liu looked at it, with a wry smile on her face, and said that she came from Jia's mansion, and she still had a little respect for Jia's mansion, but she didn't want her eldest lady to be like this to Jia's mansion, she wanted to persuade him but dared not say anything .Now my eldest lady is getting more and more powerful, not to mention other things, but the old ladies in the mansion said that the eldest lady looks very much like Mrs. Lin, but she is also kinder than Mrs. Lin.

Besides, when Jia's house accepted the annual gift from Lin's house, Wang Xifeng was a little stunned holding the gift list.Compared with previous years, this is far less than before. Although Wang Xifeng is the housekeeper of Jia's house, Mrs. Wang is really in charge. Wang Xifeng took the gift list and went back to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang looked at the gift list, thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid your Uncle Lin is going to renew."

"I'm afraid it can't be done." Wang Xifeng looked at Mrs. Wang, and it was too mysterious to tell whether it was going to be a continuation or not just by a gift list.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "You are too young. Your aunt has been dead for three years. Two years ago, she agreed to send her only daughter, but she stopped coming. This year's annual ceremony is so far behind. , I think Lin Ruhai must have the idea of ​​​​continuing the string."

Wang Xifeng knew that Mother Jia often talked about her niece who lived in Yangzhou, so she immediately said, "Should I tell the old lady about this?"

Mrs. Wang gave Wang Xifeng a blank look, and said, "What are you talking about!"

Wang Xifeng knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately patted her forehead and said, "Look at my brain."

The aunt and nephew talked again, and they broke up.
