[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

Chapter 3

Besides, Daiyu's refusal to go to the capital annoyed the teacher who lived in the mansion.This man's surname was Jia and his name was Yucun. Because his surname was Jia and he had some literary talents, Lin Ruhai invited him to be Daiyu's husband.

Jia Yucun had been an official in the early years, and was born as a Jinshi, so he felt wronged to be a teacher for a little baby boy.Lin Ruhai simply agreed to give him a letter of recommendation when he went to the capital with Daiyu.

Originally, this matter was settled, but how did I know that the eldest lady of the Lin family didn't want to go to the capital? Although Lin Ruhai sent someone over to apologize early in the morning, Jia Yucun also smiled and said it was okay, but she was very unhappy in her heart. You have to pretend nothing happened.

No one else knew what Jia Yucun was thinking, but his wife Jiao Xing knew it very well.Immediately, he comforted Yucun and said that he was going to Miss Lin to find out. He happened to have just made some warm red bean paste cakes, put some on a plate, and went to Daiyu's courtyard with a small basket.

This Jiao Xing was originally a girl, and she followed Jia Yucun when she was in trouble. Although she was not born well, she was quite clever.Along the way, I saw Lin Daiyu walking at the gate of the courtyard. Jiao Xing had seen Daiyu before, although she only met Daiyu a few times, she knew that Daiyu was a sick child, but now she saw that she was still delicate and weak But the spirit doesn't look bad, not only not bad, but also exuding a sense of immortality.

Since Jiao Xing came from there, Daiyu saw her, and immediately realized that if she didn't go to the capital, she might be known by Jia Yucun. I don't understand at all.That's right, an ex-official Juren has nothing to say to a female doll.

Since Daiyu was reborn, besides serving her father well, she wanted to live a good life, or she didn't want to deal with those things in her previous life. As soon as her mood opened up, Daiyu's appetite came up.I ate too much in the morning, so I walked two steps alone at the gate of the courtyard to digest my food.

Seeing Jiao Xing, Daiyu stepped forward and called out, "Master's wife."

When Jiao Xing heard this, she smiled and said: "Miss is very polite, I just made some warm bean paste cakes, I thought I might as well give them to Miss to taste."

Seeing this, the snow geese behind Daiyu took it over, and Daiyu said, "Master, you are welcome."

Seeing that Daiyu just thanked her but didn't pull her into the room to talk, Jiao Xing took Daiyu's hand and said, "Miss is very well, her complexion looks better than before."

Daiyu pulled out her hand and said: "These days are indeed much better, and I have an appetite." Daiyu looked at Jiao Xing and continued: "It's just that Mr. Yuan wanted to accompany me to the capital, but now Daiyu won't go. , but it delayed Mr.

Jiao Xing didn't expect that Daiyu would take the initiative to talk about this, so she laughed and said: "Don't delay, your husband is an honest man, and his career is not suitable for him, so it's better to teach calligraphy and painting in the mansion."

These words sound good, there is no one who would not want to be an official and would like to be a girl's husband, Daiyu doesn't believe it, just saying that in the previous life, Jia Yucun became the magistrate relying on Lin Ruhai's recommendation letter, and the official position was promoted quickly very.

That's all Daiyu, who was raised in a boudoir, knew, and she didn't know about all the filthy things about being an official in Jia Yucun, so when she saw Jiao Xing coming to inquire, Daiyu simply followed their wishes.

While the snow geese went to the inner room to pour tea for Jiao Xing, Daiyu said to Jiao Xing: "Mr. It's a pity, I'm going to talk to my dad right now."

Jiao Xing didn't expect this to be so easy, she looked at Daiyu carefully, and saw that she looked serious and she was a girl. She thought she meant it sincerely, and said, "Missy said that, it seems like I came to ask on purpose." of."

Daiyu said: "Master, don't think too much about it. I didn't think carefully about this matter. I think Dad doesn't want my husband's talent to be buried."

When Jiao Xing heard this, her face blushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed thinking that such an adult would play tricks in front of the little girl, and said shyly: "The eldest girl is kind-hearted, thanks to the favor of the Lin family these few years, Our husband and wife are really helpless.”

Looking at Jiao Xing, Daiyu knew that she was really grateful, and she was also very emotional, so she said: "It's not a big deal, teacher's wife doesn't need to be like this, but when you go to the capital, don't forget the Lin residence."

When Jiao Xing heard this, she nodded her head and said, "How can I forget that the past few years in the Lin Mansion are the best two years I have spent with him."

After saying a few more words, Jiao Xing left when she saw that Daiyu was a little tired.

In the past, this time should have been when Daiyu was reading and writing, but during this time Daiyu was ill. Although she had recovered for a few days, Jiao Xing just came, and Daiyu knew that the heart of Jia Yu Village had already flown to the capital. , Naturally, it is not easy to let him teach.

Now that Dai Yu has just been reborn, this matter is too weird to tell anyone.Daiyu looked at the orioles flying around the window, and asked Xueyan to pull out the rice paper to practice calligraphy.

Daiyu's character is like Lin Ruhai, but it is more beautiful than it, but Daiyu forgot that she is just a girl now, and she just practiced half a sheet when she heard Xueyan say: "Miss's character is even prettier."

Xueyan followed Daiyu to read, and she could also recognize a few characters. Daiyu was startled and afraid of revealing the clues, so she stopped writing and said: "Yesterday in the study, Daddy taught me how to write. I tried it today, and the words are really good much better."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she looked at Xueyan and heard her say: "Master is still very powerful. Mr. Jia has taught Miss for several years, but it is not as good as Master taught Miss for a while."

Daiyu smiled and said nothing, stopped writing and put it aside, rubbed her wrists, and ordered Xueyan to open the window for ventilation.

Seeing Xueyan walk away, Daiyu sighed. It seems that she has to be careful in the future and remember that she is only a little girl, so she must not act too hastily.

It's just that Daiyu in this room feels that it needs to be treated slowly, but some people can't wait. Aunt Liu is a shallow-sighted person, and she had a good relationship with a widow who was in charge of flowers and trees in the backyard a few years ago.

This widow's husband's family name is Zhao, everyone calls her Widow Zhao, she is not a child of the Lin family, she was recruited by Lin Ruhai to take care of the flowers and trees when she came to Yangzhou.This Widow Zhao is dexterous and clever. She built a greenhouse and often cultivated some out-of-season flowers and grasses for Mrs. Lin, Jia Min and others, so everyone in the house valued her a bit.

Aunt Liu sent the girl away and went to the greenhouse, just in time to see Widow Zhao tending orchids.If it is said that this orchid was definitely prepared for Lin Ruhai, Aunt Liu saw that Widow Zhao was wearing a long linen dress with only a wooden hairpin on her head, she had a special feeling.

Widow Zhao seemed to have known that someone was coming, so she set up hot tea early on. Aunt Liu sat aside, looked at Widow Zhao's figure, and said casually: "My good sister, you have kept so much now." I'm widowed for a few years, in my opinion, it's better to find a good man to marry as soon as possible, although there are few people in our house, there will always be some gossip." Aunt Liu was still excited when she saw Widow Zhao smiling and not talking. He continued: "Now that I'm in charge, why don't I ask a matchmaker to find a good one for Sister Zhao."

After hearing this, Widow Zhao glanced at Aunt Liu and slapped the small shovel on the ground, causing Aunt Liu to jump up from her chair.Widow Zhao pursed her lips and said, "I said it a long time ago, I want to guard my family for the rest of my life, and I don't want to hear it a second time in the future."

"It's okay if I don't say anything, after all, I'm doing it for your own good." Aunt Liu said while patting her chest.Taking a sneak look at Widow Zhao's face, and seeing her smile in the corner of her eyes, she must not be angry.

Speaking of which, this Widow Zhao is a servant, and Aunt Liu is half a master, but for some reason, Aunt Liu is always half shorter in front of Widow Zhao.

Widow Zhao washed her hands with the water on the side, wiped them clean again, and then sat across from Aunt Liu and said, "I have something to do when I come here in the morning!"

Aunt Liu naturally asked for something, so she didn't care about being reserved at the moment, and many of the ideas on her left and right came from Widow Zhao. "The eldest lady in our mansion will not go to Rongguo Mansion in the capital." Aunt Liu said this directly.

Widow Zhao took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Who in the house doesn't know about this now!"

Aunt Liu was taken aback, then lowered her head and said: "My dear sister, I came to you for advice. You said that as long as the young lady goes to the capital, the master will definitely love me again."

Widow Zhao looked at Aunt Liu, she was charming, and now she was wearing a long pink dress, which made her look even more charming, but her behavior was really bad, but if she hadn't been so independent, she wouldn't have come to consult on everything by myself.However, Lin Daiyu didn't expect that she would not go to the capital. According to the current situation in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai would definitely let her precious daughter go to her grandmother's house.Widow Zhao sighed and said, "The master now lets you manage the backyard temporarily because you are brought by your wife, and secondly, you are usually timid. I thought that the eldest lady has gone to the capital. If you have the opportunity, you can go there often." The master will serve you and give birth to a boy and a half girl, and you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."

When Aunt Liu heard this, she squeezed her throat and said: "Sister Zhao, you don't know that the master doesn't even look at us aunts except for the wife. The wife has gone, the master let me temporarily Managing the inner courtyard, I thought that at least I would have a bright future, but I didn't want the master to devote himself to the eldest lady. Apart from going to the yamen, he would stay in the study or visit the eldest lady every day. I am not afraid of sister Zhao's jokes. Not a few times." Aunt Liu seemed to feel embarrassed after she finished speaking, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Widow Zhao tapped her fingers, feeling a little contemptuous in her heart. Aunt Liu is really stupid. At first, her master put her here just to rape Lin Ruhai, but after she came in, she realized that Lin Ruhai was actually a master who was not close to women. Since then, Widow Zhao has completely stopped focusing on pleasing Mrs. Lin and Jia Min.But I don't know that these two people are like paper, one has been there for a few years, and the other has been there for a year.

Only then did Widow Zhao put her mind on Aunt Liu, who was brought over by Jia Min after all. She was pretty, but she didn't want to get close to Lin Ruhai all year.It was not easy for Lin Daiyu to go to the capital, but she didn't know that she suddenly stopped going.In this way, Widow Zhao had no choice but to tell Aunt Liu and Lin Daiyu to have a good relationship.

Aunt Liu became angry when she heard that, she rubbed the handkerchief in her hand and said: "Sister Zhao, I am my wife's dowry girl, and the eldest lady is also my wife's darling. Why don't I want to get close, but our eldest lady With eyes on the top of her head, she can't see us."

Everyone in the house knows that the eldest lady is a cold master, but they have never been harsh on the servants. The girls and women who work in her house often get some benefits, but although the eldest lady treats the servants kindly, she also has a kind of alienation. .Widow Zhao naturally knew about this matter. Widow Zhao had already tried it by taking the opportunity of sending flowers a few times. Unfortunately, Miss Lin spoke softly and rewarded things, but she had no affection at all. It was clear. , It's really the housekeeper's eldest lady.

Widow Zhao naturally wouldn't say this, but Aunt Liu could if she couldn't get close, so she said: "In the past, when my wife was here, you had no chance. Now that my wife is gone, you just take advantage of this opportunity to remember your wife to get closer. No matter how wise the eldest lady is, she is still a child."

"Sister Zhao is right. Speaking of it, the eldest lady is polite to me, but she is always close to us despite being polite. I'm afraid it's not easy to get close." Aunt Liu frowned.

"I need to teach you about this. My wife has been gone for almost a year now. The young miss is either reading or doing embroidery in the room every day. She must have never seen some novel things before, and she has no playmates." Zhao The widow watched Aunt Liu slowly say these words one by one.

"I didn't expect that." Aunt Liu patted the table and said happily, "Sister Zhao has an idea, I'll let the concierge go buy some children's things. Also, there are too few people in the Missy's room, hurry up I will discuss with the housekeeper to buy a few little girls back." Aunt Zhao thanked her and left in a hurry.

Widow Zhao watched Aunt Liu go away, and then slowly stuffed a bamboo tube into the pruned dead branches beside her.The concierge will collect these dead branches and leaves later, and send them out for disposal together with other garbage in the mansion.
