The Guardian Jade of a Dream of Red Mansions

Two or three years have passed without haste.

I'm afraid this year will be difficult, Qiu Shui thought so, but he carefully held the medicine in his hand, scooped it up carefully with a spoon, and fed it to Daiyu.Seeing that Daiyu had finished eating, she took another cup of tea and rinsed Daiyu's mouth to get rid of the bitterness.She helped Daiyu to lie down, and said: "Miss, let's rest today. I have already sent someone to ask for leave from Mr. Jia. You don't have to go these few days." Daiyu shook her head and said, "Is she better? I'm going to accompany you." As he spoke, he burst into tears.Qiushui gently wiped Daiyu's tears with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Miss, don't cry, you will hurt yourself carefully. I know that the lady misses the wife, but doesn't the wife care about the girl? Now, for my brother's business, the wife I'm already sick. Do you want your wife to worry about the girl?" Daiyu barely stopped crying after hearing this.Qiu Shui still patted her as before, and said: "Miss, don't worry, we will go to greet the wife tomorrow when the girl recovers. Go to sleep, and when the master comes and sees that you are not in good spirits, you should worry about it." It's gone." Although Daiyu heard the truth, she was still in panic and refused to rest.Qiu Shui coaxed softly: "Girl, I'm always here, don't be afraid." He patted her while talking.Qiushui knew that Daiyu had always been a light sleeper, and he walked away for fear that Daiyu would wake up soon, so she didn't leave when Daiyu fell asleep, and continued to pat her.

Daiyu woke up early the next day and saw Qiushui guarding her.Seeing that she opened her eyes, Qiu Shui asked in a soft voice, "Miss, please wait a little longer, it's still early. I'll go and tell someone to prepare." Daiyu took Qiu Shui's hand and said, "Did sister not sleep all night?" Qiu Shui took Daiyu's hand and put her back under the quilt, then carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, and said, "Be careful that your hands are cold. I'm fine." As he spoke, he got up and asked someone to get ready to go.When it was daylight, Daiyu had already packed up.Qiu Shui put a cloak on Daiyu, and said: "When you go to the wife to eat, remember to use more, so that the wife will feel at ease. Don't always be sad, tell the wife something interesting. Let Wang Momo and Xueyan is with you, let me be lazy." Seeing her tired face, Daiyu forced a smile and said, "Sister, go and have a rest, I know." Qiushui didn't take Joe, and gave orders with a smile. Xueyan said a few times, and then said to Wang Momo: "Mommy is a person who has gone through great events. Mammy is kind-hearted, please comfort my wife more." After speaking, she bowed deeply.Nanny Wang helped her up, liking such a well-behaved girl in her heart, and said, "I know. Go down and have a rest, too, don't make yourself ill." After hearing this, Qiu Shui smiled at Nanny Wang and Daiyu Laughed and retreated.

Not to mention Daiyu consoling Jia Min here, and Nanny Wang also persuading him many times, but Jia Min's brother was injured when he was a child, and his heart was full of sorrow, and he let go after half a year. The world is gone.Only in the last few days, I called Daiyu, Qiushui and several big maids, and asked them earnestly, and begged Ruhai to continue to treat Daiyu kindly.

There was chaos in the mansion over Jia Min's funeral.Qiu Shui didn't care about it, and didn't allow anyone to bother Daiyu, and just took care of Daiyu wholeheartedly.Grandma Wang also obeyed Qiushui and helped her discipline the servants, the little girls.On this day, Lin Hai came to visit Daiyu, and seeing that Daiyu looked sad, but her spirits were good, he knew that Qiushui had taken good care of her, and he was also quite relieved.He talked with Daiyu for a long time, and seeing that Daiyu looked okay, he said seriously: "Yu'er, your mother has gone, I will definitely not renew the string, and I will not force my son. I have suffered for you, there is no aunt to teach, no brothers and sisters to support..." Before he finished speaking, Lin Hai couldn't bear it and stopped.Lin Hai has lost his beloved wife and young son in the past two years, and his spirit is not as good as before.Today, his temples are gray and his complexion is old. He doesn't have the wanton appearance of the young Tanhua Lang back then.Daiyu also shed tears.At this time, Qiu Shui was alone serving.Qiu Shui stepped forward to offer a cup of tea, and comforted Daiyu in a low voice.Lin Hai took a sip of tea and continued: "A few days ago, your grandmother sent a letter, saying that she wanted to take you to Beijing, and she wanted to take care of you personally. Also, there are several sisters in your grandmother's family. Be a companion. Yu'er, what do you think?" Daiyu naturally refused, and only wanted to accompany Lin Hai.Lin Hai began to persuade again: "I know Yu'er's filial piety, but you can't do it if you have no one to teach you. Besides, if you go, Daddy will feel more at ease. Daddy doesn't have any brothers to support him. Now it's like this, there is no way in the house. We have to dismiss him, so we can make a plan. When you become an adult, Daddy will bring you back, okay?" Daiyu looked at Lin Hai with tears in her eyes, and then glanced at Qiushui before nodding her head.The father and daughter talked for a long time before Lin Hai asked the little girls to come in and wait for Daiyu to rest.

Qiu Shui sent Lin Hai out, and Lin Hai said: "You haven't seen Linjiang for some time, you can go to the study with me later." Although Qiu Shui had doubts, he didn't ask any questions, just nodded in agreement, and quietly followed Master Lin .When he arrived at the study, Lin Jiang was not there, so Lin Hai asked someone to call him.Lin Hai just sat there and didn't ask anyone to serve tea, he asked: "How old is Qiu Shui this year, has he come to our house for five years?" Qiu Shui replied cautiously: "In a few months, he will be 13 years old. It has been five years since I came to the house." Lin Hai nodded, and continued: "Linjiang is also 13, and twins are rare. I saw that your siblings are good, and I also asked about the whereabouts of your parents, but there are so many people. I found nothing. If you think about it carefully, do you still remember anything?" Qiu Shui shook his head and replied: "I have forgotten everything about my childhood. Now I am serving by the girl's side, and Linjiang is under the master's command. I have nothing to ask for. I don't want to ask for more." Lin Hai nodded and said with a smile: "You serve Yu'er well, and I will not treat you badly. Now that Yu'er is going to Beijing, you must follow. Madam must have told you something about Jia's family. Things, Yu'er is young and simple-minded, I just hope you take care of her more. When she is well, you will be well, and your brother will be well." Qiu Shui bent down and replied: "Qiu Shui knows. Qiushui will definitely take good care of the girl. Qiushui doesn't want anything from himself, but only hopes that Linjiang can have a good future." After hearing this, Lin Hai said: "I see, you go down and have a good talk with Linjiang. Yu'er You should do more about it." Qiu Shui bent over and stepped back.

Once outside, Qiu Shui saw Lin Jiang standing outside foolishly.Qiu Shui stepped forward and joked: "Could it be that you haven't woken up yet, silly boy." Seeing Lin Jiang, he affectionately held Qiu Shui's hand and smiled and said, "It's really my sister. I thought Brother Lin was coaxing me to play." Qiu Shui Holding his hand, he went to a secluded place and said, "How are you these few days? I don't pay much attention to you because of Miss Lin's affairs." Linjiang replied with a smile, "I'm fine. That's it. There have been a lot of things these few days, and I am a little tired. I will make up for it after I sleep." Qiu Shui nodded reassuringly, and said with a smile: "I am relieved when I know you are good. I am afraid that I will not see you for a while, you yourself Pay attention to your body, keep yourself clean, if you let me know that you are contaminated with something bad, I will definitely punish you." Linjiang smiled and said coquettishly: "My sister doesn't know me yet, I am the most obedient. But What's the matter, sister?" Seeing him acting like a baby, Qiu Shui glared at him: "I'm not a good person. I'm afraid I'm going to go on a long trip, so you should work hard. Have you finished reading the few books I gave you? If you read It's over, I'm asking someone to bring some over." Seeing that Qiushui didn't want to say more, Linjiang replied with a smile, "I've read it all, and I even understand the meaning. I also practice copybooks every day. Lin Zhang and the others all said that I was going to take the No. [-] Scholar Examination, so I put all my heart into it." Qiu Shui frowned when he heard this, but laughed after a while.She said sternly: "Your own future is earned by yourself. You have to think about what you want to do, and you must know that a man has ambitions everywhere. My sister can plan for you for a while, but she can't plan for you forever. Linjiang, you Think about the future." Linjiang also became serious at this time: "Sister, don't be angry, I know it all. I will work hard, and I will not disappoint my sister." Qiu Shui shook his head, touched Linjiang's head, and said: "I'm not angry. I believe in Linjiang. You have to watch and study hard when you are with the master, and don't let me down." At this time, Linjiang had grown up a bit, and she felt a little awkward stroking Linjiang's head, but she still Linjiang is very used to Ai comforting Linjiang like this.

On the second day, Qiu Shui got up early and started preparations for going to Beijing.She first asked Jia Min's maidservants who had come over as dowry about the affairs of Jia's mansion and their tempers.And arrange which maids and mothers to follow, as well as some clothes and jewelry and some Daiyu's daily needs.After thinking about it, I asked Nanny Wang to see if there was anything inappropriate.After a few days, Qiushui saw that everything was almost the same, so I specially invited Wang Momo and Daiyu to greet Master Lin together.Qiu Shui presents to Master Lin the booklet of all the things she has recorded.Lin Hai looked at it and said: "You can return everything. I have prepared gifts for everyone in Jia's mansion. Just send them to everyone later. Is there too many mothers and maids who accompanied the past?" The old lady said that she should raise her by herself, but now we bring so many people there, I’m afraid it’s not good.” Qiu Shui leaned forward and smiled, “Master’s thinking is justified. But I think these girls are playing young girls. Girls are used to serving girls. When they arrive at Jia's mansion, let's not say whether the new girl is in the mood, just say that the girl is here, so it's not easy to order her around. Besides, Sister Liusu is a needleworker in the wife's room. A capable person. We no longer bring our embroiderers, but only Sister Liusu. It is cheap to teach girls about women's affairs, or to make small things. There are also the two aunts that my wife accompanied. He was originally the son of the Jia family, but now he is married to the Lin family. He has never been home for so many years, so he can follow along this time. We don’t say that we are the ones who serve the girl, but that the master gave grace to return. Let’s take a look at home. This way, girls or those who want to send a letter to the master don’t need to disturb others. These are just some thoughts of mine, what do you think, master?” Lin Hai hesitated when he heard that the words made sense.Here Daiyu has heard what Qiushui said.These days, Qiushui had to know everything about Qiushui's preparations.One is to help Daiyu recover from the pain of losing her mother, and the other is that Daiyu has to learn these things now.

Daiyu also stepped forward and said, "Father, sister Qiu has told me about these things. I thought it was a bit too much, but after thinking about it, it makes sense. Mother told me about my grandmother when she was ill. There are many adults in their family, so grandma may not be able to take care of some things in the mansion. Moreover, from what my mother occasionally reveals, I know that mother and second aunt probably don't get along well. Although so many years have passed, everyone must It's all forgotten...My daughter wants to use her own people, and it's better not to always alarm others." Lin Hai also knew that there were such things, when Jia Min was still young, and was once again beaten by Jia's mother. She is pampered and not very tactful in dealing with things.She has a deeper relationship with Jia Shezhi's first wife, but is not very harmonious with Mrs. Wang.Lin Hai sighed, turned to Wang Momo and asked, "What do you think, Momo?" After saluting according to the rules, Wang Momo replied: "Master is right to think about it. But the girl went to grandma's house and brought a wet nurse and four A girl is also in compliance with the rules. Besides, there is a rule for how many girls a young lady should match. When my wife was a girl before, there were four big girls." Lin Hai thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's good. It's just Yu'er With Nanny Song, in my private heart, I still hope that you can continue to educate Yu'er. I'm afraid that such a tiring journey will make Mommy unwilling." Wang Nanny replied: "Miss Qiushui has already told me Yes. Nanny Song is too old to ask her to leave home, I will continue to raise the girl. Just ask the master to bring me back as soon as the girl is old." After saying that, Nanny Wang bent down deeply.Lin Haiming understood that Nanny Song meant to enter Jia's mansion as a wet nurse.That's good too, Mother Jia will definitely send a nunnery to come, and this way of dealing with it will not embarrass Yu'er, and it will be easier for Mother Jia.
