[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

Chapter 4

There are only two masters in such a big Lin mansion. Although there are few people, there are many things to be busy at all, especially an unexpected guest came yesterday. The master wanted to secretly place him in a small study in the outer courtyard.This was originally the master's study, but because his wife left, the master built a room in the inner courtyard as a study, so that he could take care of Lin Daiyu nearby.The outside study room is complete with bedding and utensils, the most important thing is that there are few people and it is quiet.

Butler Lin had just delivered something to the master who was borrowing from the study outside. Just as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Aunt Liu walking over. Seeing her like this, he knew that she was looking for him specially.

When Aunt Liu saw Steward Lin, she hurried forward and said, "Where is Steward Lin, let me find it easily." As she spoke, she peeked into the courtyard twice.

Steward Lin led Aunt Liu two steps outside and said, "I don't know why Aunt Liu is looking for me?"

Aunt Liu pulled the hem of her skirt and said: "I think the house is short of manpower, other places are fine, Missy can't be short of manpower. It just so happens that Missy doesn't go to the capital now, why don't you buy some young and sensible people?" A girl who can talk can also talk to the young lady."

Steward Lin listened quietly to Aunt Liu's words, and stared at her, as if wondering whether this idea was her own idea or something else. Seeing the butler's appearance, Aunt Liu felt a little annoyed. In the early morning, Aunt Liu asked the servant to buy some small items that girls like, and she was thinking about finding someone to buy girls.

Aunt Liu is in charge of such trivial things as buying some gadgets, but Aunt Liu really can't do the mastery of buying girls.So she thought about asking Butler Lin to come over and ask.But the people in the mansion responded, but few people actually went to look for it. Aunt Liu had no choice but to come to look for it herself.

When Aunt Liu saw that Butler Lin hadn't spoken for a long time, she became a little anxious, and said: "I also think about the eldest lady, the people in her room are like a gourd with a sawed beak, they are stupid in mouth and heart.

Aunt Liu was right in saying this, Nanny Wang and Xueyan are both honest people, this is an advantage but they don't know how to be flexible.The eldest lady should find a few lively, cute and well-behaved little girls to accompany her, otherwise it would be inappropriate for the two masters in this house to be so deserted.

It's just that Aunt Liu has been in charge of the inner house for a year, so why did she say this so plainly, butler Lin asked directly: "Whose meaning is this?"

Aunt Liu paused, and immediately said: "Of course it's my own idea, I don't have any children, and besides, I'm also my wife's dowry girl, so naturally I wish the eldest lady well."

Butler Lin laughed, thinking that Aunt Liu must be trying to please the eldest lady, so she said: "My aunt has a heart, but I have to go back to the master about this matter, and I will send my wife back to my aunt when I have a letter tomorrow. "Steward Lin said, glanced at Aunt Liu, and continued: "If there is anything to do in the future, you can send someone to come to me. The outer court is still a place that is less likely to cause trouble."

No one would feel comfortable hearing these words, Aunt Liu's face turned pale and she looked a little ugly, butler Lin continued: "Don't blame me for not listening, it's for your own good, and Auntie needs to be more concerned about the backyard. "

Aunt Liu said timidly: "I couldn't find the housekeeper, so I came to look for it myself." Aunt Liu looked in the direction of the small study and asked in a low voice: "Master is in the study."

Seeing Aunt Liu like this, Housekeeper Lin said impatiently: "The rules in the house, we are not allowed to approach the master's study at will, let alone ask more questions."

From what Aunt Liu heard, she only thought that the master was doing business in the study, but when she felt a little eager to try, Lin Butler smiled inwardly, but didn't show it on his face, and just said: "Master is not in a good mood recently, Auntie..." Lin The housekeeper paused and looked at Aunt Liu.

Although Aunt Liu wanted to attract Lin Ruhai's attention, she was even more afraid of angering Lin Ruhai, so she immediately paid homage to Butler Xie Lin and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Watching Aunt Liu go away, Housekeeper Lin found the gatekeeper behind the bamboo forest at the entrance of the study courtyard.Butler Lin immediately raised his ears and said, "I want you to watch carefully, don't let idlers in, you're just lying here and hiding yourself."

The boy was a thin and tall guy about 20 years old. At this time, his face was flushed when he lowered his head when Lin Butler said, and he begged for mercy and said: "Lin Butler, please forgive me. People have three urgencies, can't I help it?" .”

This young man is an old man of the Lin family, and he has always been very proper in doing things, so he said: "Be careful, let's forget this time, and next time I will let you work in the kitchen."

"Steward Lin, I remember, you are so lucky." As he said that, he wanted to bow to Steward Lin.

Butler Lin supported him and said: "You boy, we are all people in front of the master. It's not peaceful recently, so we have to be careful."

"I know." The boy naturally responded.

Butler Lin was more at ease with him, so he just said a few words.

Let's say Lin Ruhai just came back from the yamen when he saw Daiyu waiting for him in the study.Daiyu poured tea for Lin Ruhai herself, and Lin Ruhai drank the tea approvingly, only to find that the taste of the tea was a bit bland.

While serving the snacks, Daiyu said: "My daughter has read some medical books, which say that tea should not be too strong, it is not good for the spirit." Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai as she spoke, and found that he was looking at her with a smile. Then he continued: "Daddy won't drink strong tea from now on."

Hearing her daughter's coquettish words, she nodded and said: "Yu'er has even started to read medical books now, she really is my daughter, Lin Ruhai."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I just read a simple book to show off in front of Daddy, so Daddy should stop laughing at my daughter."

Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu, who was actually much better than the previous two days. It seemed that her daughter had recovered from her illness, and she was very relieved at the moment.Seeing that her father was in a good mood, Daiyu said: "Mr. Jia was going to accompany me to the capital, but now that my daughter is not going, this Mr. Jia still has to go to the capital."

If Daiyu hadn't mentioned it, Lin Ruhai would have almost forgotten about it. This Jia Yucun is the husband of his daughter. He originally thought that Daiyu would go to the capital to join Jia's mansion, so he also gave Jia Yucun a letter of recommendation as a favor.

But he didn't think that now that Daiyu didn't want to go to the capital, Jiayu Village couldn't go either.Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai asked, "Does Yu'er like your husband?"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Mr. Jinshi was born, and he has been an official. Naturally, he is very talented and talented. Now he teaches me that this girl is too talented." Daiyu added another cup of tea to Lin Ruhai, and said: "Although Mr. is dedicated to teaching Daiyu, you can't bury Mr.'s talent because of this. Yu'er thinks it's better to let Mr. go to the capital to show off your talent."

Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu carefully, and wondered if Jia Yucun had said something in front of Daiyu. After all, his only daughter, who was a dignified Jinshi, was really inferior.It's just that he was dismissed because of something. If it wasn't for him, he would still be selling calligraphy at a roadside stall.

It's just that he wanted to leave, and he didn't want to force him to stay. Besides, he had already given him the letter of recommendation. Lin Ruhai said: "The boat has been rented a long time ago, and it won't be troublesome for your husband to go to the capital."
