The Guardian Jade of a Dream of Red Mansions

At this time, a little girl came up and said that Aunt Zhao wanted to see the eldest girl outside.Qiu Shui nodded and told her to lead him up.Daiyu whispered to Qiushui: "Since I helped us last time, I often come to fight Qiufeng, which is very annoying." Qiushui also asked in a low voice: "I heard that Jia Huan was beaten, is it okay?" Yu replied: "I sent some medicine and money there, it should be much better now." Daiyu and Qiushui stopped talking when they saw Aunt Zhao came up.As soon as Aunt Zhao came in, she said: "The eldest girl is back, I have been looking forward to your return. I feel better now, do you still need to take medicine?" Qiu Shui smiled and asked her to sit down, and the little girl came up to watch Tea.Aunt Zhao took a sip of tea and continued: "Miss is all right, pity my Huan'er, she was beaten up by the master for that matter, and she still can't get out of bed now? It's a shame to be able to visit the two girls." Qiu Shui could only say a few words of relief.Aunt Zhao chattered a lot, and Qiu Shui became a little annoyed, so she asked with a smile: "I have been here for so long, and I don't know if Brother Huan has someone to take care of me? Auntie should go back and see sooner." I can feel at ease in my heart, right?" Aunt Zhao said along the way: "It's just that the eldest girl loves our brother Huan. Everyone in this house is all about the low and the high. Now who cares about our mother and child, it is Huan. Brother is only watched by my girl, unlike Baoyu, who can't handle the girls in the yard. Since the eldest girl loves us, why not send a little girl to take care of us, and send some medicine, it will not be in vain for us Huan'er has suffered all this because of that." As she spoke, she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.Qiushui and Daiyu were so angry that they laughed back, watching Aunt Zhao wipe their tears there.Aunt Zhao saw that the two ignored her, so she asked: "Could it be that the girl wants to deny it? There is no such good thing in this world. If the girl doesn't recognize it..." Qiu Shui stopped her and said, "I am in the ring. Brother's love, but it's only paid back once. If my aunt thinks that she has grabbed a money bag from now on, I advise my aunt to think about whether you can take the money. You can discuss it with Brother Huan yourself. How should I pay it back, it’s just this one time.” Aunt Zhao refused, wanting to scold people there.Qiu Shui called someone in and said, "Send my aunt back. If my aunt says something unpleasant, you can just use your own methods to appease her." Daiyu persuaded with a smile: "My aunt should be quiet, these two The nanny was brought by us from the Lin family, and she has some strength." At the same time, he told the two nanny, "Be careful, don't hurt my aunt, otherwise how can you take care of Brother Huan?" The two nanny Mama agreed and carried Aunt Zhao out.Aunt Zhao also became more obedient.

Daiyu saw Aunt Zhao being dragged out obediently, she couldn't hold herself back and smiled on the chair.Qiu Shui also smiled and said: "It can be seen how often she has come these days, and I don't know how much you have held your breath." Daiyu smiled for a while, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "Since Jia Huan was beaten, every now and then Come here. Either you want things or money, and today you come here to ask for people. I think it’s for my sister after all. I’m going to let him beat me. Today, my sister said that and I’m more confident.” Qiu Shui nodded and said: “I Just give her one chance, and let's settle the matter in the future." Daiyu nodded to show that she understood.

After staying for another half a month, tomorrow is the day of departure.Daiyu and Qiushui were in a hurry in the room, and they were afraid that Baoyu would make trouble, so they ordered people to go to Zilingzhou to see the scenery.Arriving there, Qiu Shui was quite emotional, and sighed: "The scenery here is the best in summer, and it seems like watching lotus here last year." Daiyu nodded and said with emotion: "This lotus is like a year. People are not like this every year. The flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year. In the coming year, when I appreciate the lotus, my sister will not be able to accompany me." Saying that, she took Qiu Shui's hand.Qiu Shui held Daiyu's hand instead, and said with a smile, "Even if I'm married, you can come and see me. You see you are so sad that I dare not marry." Daiyu went Oh her itch, and said: "Your wedding date has been set, you will leave the cabinet only on April [-]th next year, and now you are still teasing me and complaining, look at me if I don't clean up you." Qiu Shui was so disturbed that he hugged Dai Yu said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, don't make trouble with me, it will be uncomfortable when you sweat later." Daiyu stopped after hearing this, and turned her back.Qiu Shui went to shake her, and seeing that she didn't respond, he sat down and watched the scenery with his arms around her.After a while, Daiyu also felt that she was losing her temper. Although she knew that her sister would always get married, she felt that it was too soon to set a date like this.Daiyu then turned around and took Qiushui's hand, and asked, "Brother Linjiang, do you know?" Qiushui looked at Daiyu and replied, "I probably know. After I come back, Linjiang won't be able to continue living here." Lin's house then returned to An Guogong's mansion. He is busy with the autumn test, so I don't know if Uncle Lin told him?" Daiyu lowered her head and said, "I thought Linjiang brother could go back to Suzhou with us, so sister Also talk to brother Linjiang a lot. It will be even more difficult to meet when my sister is married." Linjiang's identity is very embarrassing, although he is Qiushui's younger brother, but Lin Ruhai only recognizes Qiushui, so Linjiang is in The etiquette has nothing to do with Qiushui.Qiu Shui patted her and said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't need Linjiang to accompany me all the time, he is not a girl, as long as he is promising." Daiyu smiled and asked: "Then how about I accompany my sister all the time? "Qiu Shui said with a smile: "Could it be that you are not always with me now?" Both of them laughed.

Early the next morning, Daiyu Qiushui had her meal early, and took a group of people to bid farewell to Jia Mu.After leaving the mansion, Daiyu and the others did not ride in Jia's carriage. Uncle Lin had already prepared everything, so Daiyu and the others got into their own carriage regardless of Jia Lian's and others' face.Even when boarding a ship, everyone boards separately.

When they arrived at the Lin Mansion in Suzhou, Chief Lin brought people to greet him outside the mansion and opened the main gate.After meeting each other, Chief Lin personally took Jia Lian and others down to rest first.Lin Yu's family led Qiushui Daiyu into the main hall with tassels, and after Daiyu Qiushui drank tea and used some snacks to calm down, he asked, "Is the two girls going all the way?" Daiyu Qiushui He nodded and said, "We still have some energy, let them come to see us. We won't be so complete when we send things later." Lin Yu's family nodded and let the little girl go down to spread the word.Liusu saluted with the roster at the side, and said: "The mansion has not been bought, they are all old people who have bought out the death contract. There are a few people who have married and added new people." Open the booklet and explain it to Daiyu Qiushui in detail.After Tassel gave a general explanation, there were already a lot of people standing below.The people who came to visit were all from the whole family.As soon as Lin Yu's family called their names, they came out to salute Daiyu Qiushui through the screen, and shouted: "Greetings, two girls." After everyone had seen each other, Daiyu and Qiushui were a little tired, and Daiyu got up. Said: "I know you all. I know how you are all these years. You are also the old people of the Lin family. You know that the Lin family has never treated others badly. Your loyalty to the Lord will naturally have benefits waiting for you. If anyone has a big heart In order to have some thoughts that shouldn't be there, don't look at my sister and I are young, we naturally have ways to deal with you." Lin Yu's family asked: "I remember everything the girl said." Everyone shouted in unison remember.Daiyu nodded after hearing this, and Lin Yu's family dispersed.Everyone retreated silently in order.

Lin Yu's family stepped forward and asked: "Are the two girls tired? I have ordered someone to prepare hot water, and it has probably been delivered by now. I wonder if the two girls will live together as before or separate?" Dai After hearing this, Yu hurriedly said: "It's the same as before, don't prepare another yard." Qiu Shui nodded with a smile and said, let's go to freshen up first.Daiyu nodded and said, "Aunt Lin, don't accompany us either. Uncle Lin is busy just now, so go back first." Lin Yu's family nodded and bowed to retreat: "Yes, then let Tassel take you there. .” Qiushui Daiyu nodded, and everyone from Lin Yu’s family withdrew.When Liuyue saw her sister, she was eager to stick to her sister, but she was afraid of being rude so she didn't dare to pretend.Now seeing that the people above are all his own people, the little girls all followed from a distance, and they had already held Liusu's hand.Liusu became more and more stable, and softly reprimanded: "What does it look like?" Daiyu laughed and said, "Sister Liusu, don't scold her, it's pitiful for her to go out alone, so you can just call her when she comes back. I'm afraid of waiting It's time to cry." Liusu had no choice but to let Liuyue hold her hand, and Liuyue kept asking questions.Seeing Qiu Shui, he said: "Mother Zhao and Xiang Yu go down to rest first, and you can come back tomorrow. Xueyan Qulan, you also go home first, and come to serve later." Everyone didn't refuse, and they all went their own way. I'm back.In this way, Qiushui Daiyu took Zijuan Luoer and Liuyue Liusu sisters to the yard together.The cleaning girls were still the same ones, and Liusu explained: "I'm afraid the two girls won't get used to it, so I'll keep the same ones. We didn't move the objects in the room, they were all arranged according to the original appearance." Dai Yu looked at all this and said with a smile: "This is very good, you have a heart." Qiushui took Daiyu's hand, and the two went in to freshen up together.

Early tomorrow morning, Daiyu and Qiushui took a bath and burned incense. They only used some tea, and Lin Yu took them to the ancestral hall to meet them.I ran into Jia Lian on the road, exchanged some pleasantries and left together.The ancestral hall is cleaned by several old servants of the Lin family every day.Several old people stepped forward to pay respects to Qiushui Daiyu and then retreated to one side.After Qiushui and Daiyu solemnly knelt down and kowtowed, they took the incense from Lin Yu, got up and bowed, and then went to the incense burner in person.Jia Lian only performed the ceremony of nephew and nephew outside, but did not come in.Daiyu then ordered: "Liuyue, go and offer up the Buddhist scriptures that my sister and I copied and embroidered." Liuyue bowed and offered up the Buddhist scriptures.Qiushui knelt down with Daiyu for a while, read some sutras, and then went out.

Jia Lian was still waiting outside, so they went up to salute and shouted, "Second Brother Lian."Jia Lian returned the gift and said, "Two sisters."Qiu Shui then asked, "Second Brother Lian, is he still used to it?" Jia Lian laughed and said, "Uncle Lin's arrangement is of course good. And don't be a stranger for my younger sister, they are all relatives of the whole family." Daiyu Qiushui nodded.Seeing that they didn't mean to answer, Jia Lian asked, "Uncle Lin's three-year term is approaching. Is there anything I can do to help?" Qiu Shui said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Lian, for your kindness. Everything has been properly arranged." Daiyu continued: "You don't need to trouble the second brother with these things, but in those few days when the dojos and monks lectured, the second brother had to preside over it. My sister and I are female relatives, so it's not easy to talk about it outside. If someone came to the door that day, I would have to deal with my second brother." Jia Lian still wanted to ask again with a bitter face, but Zhao Nanny and others who were waiting outside had already invited Qiu Shui and others to go back for dinner.Jia Lian had to leave.Qiushui and Daiyu looked at each other and smiled, and led them back.

In the next few days, Daiyu Qiushui and the others rested for a few days before starting to take care of their affairs.First of all, the personnel needs to change in the mansion and the newly promoted people from Zhuangzi had to be resettled due to insufficient manpower.In addition, some wealthy businessmen and officials in Suzhou wanted to inform the Lin family about their contacts, and also sent gifts to thank them for their care over the years.Fortunately, Lin Yu has already made arrangements outside.Those monks and Taoists have been contacted first, and now they just need to build a shed to house those people.The tombs of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min need to be repaired again.Daiyu and Qiushui both wore plain clothes and silver ornaments, and ordered Tassel to do things.Daiyu had to copy some scriptures before her evening break, but Qiushui was embroidering Buddhist scriptures, all of which were needed that day.

When the matter was over, Daiyu Qiushui and the others all lost weight.When it was time to get rid of the clothes, Dai Yuhong said with concern, "I haven't worn them for many days when I'm serious. When I was at my grandmother's house, I was afraid I made a taboo, so I didn't wear them for a few days. Now I should get rid of them. It's really unfilial to be a child." Qiu Shui Lan Looking at Daiyu, she didn't say anything for a while, and then said after a while: "We are all involuntary, and the master and wife will not blame us." Holding Daiyu and crying for a while, they let others go.After resting for a few days, the mansion gradually returned to peace.The people in the Zhuangzi took their money back, and rewards were given everywhere.Seeing that there was nothing wrong here, Jia Lian urged Daiyu to go back.
