The Guardian Jade of a Dream of Red Mansions

On this day, Jia Mu suddenly sent someone to ask Daiyu to come over.Qiu Shui suddenly thought of Linjiang's letter from the previous month saying that the master's body was not as good as before. She was a little flustered and said to Zijuan, "I'll go with the girl." Zijuan stepped back with a smile.When Qiushui and Daiyu arrived in Jiamu's room, they saw that Jiamu's face was not good.When Jia Mu saw Daiyu, she called Daiyu to come forward, put her arms around her and said, "Don't worry, Yuer. Your father sent someone to say that he is not well, and wants to take you to Juju." Daiyu heard it like a sunny day. Pili, it took a while to come back to his senses, and he planned to go back immediately.Jia's mother coaxed and said, "Yu'er, don't worry. I have told Lian'er that he has already gone home to make preparations. You also go back to clean up now, and I will send you away tomorrow. You must take care of your health along the way. Uncle Lin is a lucky man." You have your own appearance, so don't cry yourself to death." Then he called Qiu Shui and said, "You are also a steady child, take good care of your girl." Qiu Shui bowed slightly in response, and helped Daiyu to leave.

This journey made Daiyu anxious to death, Qiushui was afraid that Daiyu would be overwhelmed by the exhaustion of the journey, so she stayed by Daiyu's side for a moment.She said to Daiyu: "I know that the girl is worried about the master. But the girl should also cherish her own body. The girl must go to see the master when she returns home. If the master sees that the girl's complexion is not healed, how can he recuperate at ease. Furthermore Having said that, the master always puts the most emphasis on health preservation, and he is thinking about the girl, how can he not cherish his body. Girl, don't scare yourself, drink this porridge." Hearing Qiu Shui say this, Daiyu didn't have much appetite Still sip the porridge fed by Qiushui.

As soon as Daiyu returned to the mansion, she went straight to the main room.Seeing that the old housekeeper was already greeting Jia Lian, Qiushui arranged for someone to wait for him, and then he owed the housekeeper and went after Daiyu.When Qiu Shui went outside the main room, he saw Lin Jiang standing guard outside.Qiu Shui took a few steps faster and called out: "Linjiang." Linjiang hurried forward to support Qiu Shui when he saw Qiu Shui: "Sister, slow down." After speaking, the eyes of both of them were red.Lin Jiang straightened Qiu Shui's clothes and said, "Young lady has already gone in. Aunt Zhou is still guarding inside." Qiu Shui nodded, let go of Lin Jiang's hand and went in too.

Entering the house, I saw Daiyu lying in front of Lin Hai's bed, holding Lin Hai's hand, both of them were crying.Aunt Zhou and the two maids just cried together with the silk.Qiushui stepped forward to Aunt Zhou, bent slightly, and called Daiyu: "Miss." Daiyu wiped her tears and said, "I'm so happy to see Daddy that I'm so happy. Daddy don't bother." Crying, Yuer is back, and Yuer will be with Daddy from now on. Isn’t Daddy happy?” Lin Hai felt relieved to see Daiyu like this, and said with tears: “Daddy is also very happy. Let Daddy take a good look at it You." Daiyu took a hot towel from Qiushui's hands, wiped Lin Hai's face, and said with a smile, "I'm recovering. Daddy is getting better soon, and I still have a lot of things to tell Daddy." Lin Hai nodded and let Daiyu wait on him he.Daiyu handed the towel to Qiushui, and seeing Aunt Zhou standing aside, she said, "Auntie has been taking care of Daddy for a few days, go and have a rest too. I'm here." Aunt Zhou also said a few words of concern for Dai If Yu's body was broken, she was supported by the girl and left.Qiu Shui served tea and snacks, seeing that Daiyu was still talking quietly with Lin Hai, she quietly backed away.

She went out and saw Linjiang was still guarding outside, and Linjiang also saw her, so he pulled her to sit down on the side porch, and whispered to Qiushui, "Why did sister come out, how is master?" Qiushui replied: "The girl is with you. Why are you guarding here?" Lin Jiang replied, "I'm afraid that it would be inconvenient for the master to call someone to pass on the servant, so Steward Lin asked me and Chief Lin to guard. Chief Lin is called to do something now." Qiu Shui nodded and looked at him carefully, and after a while, he reached out to touch Linjiang's head, Linjiang also lowered his head obediently.Qiu Shui said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw Linjiang. Linjiang has grown up. I feel a little hard to touch." Linjiang's eyes were red, and he said: "My sister, if it's hard to touch, I'll be lower." Qiu Shui patted She patted him on the shoulder to signal that there was no need, and then asked: "How much do you know about the master's illness?" Linjiang told Qiushui every detail, and also told her about some changes in the mansion.

The two sat for a while, Qiushui saw that it was getting late and Daiyu still had no one to pass on, so he went in to see by himself.When she came in, Lin Hai had already slept for a while, and Dai Yu fell asleep beside the bed.Qiu Shui walked in softly, carefully helped Daiyu up, and Daiyu woke up.Daiyu glanced at Lin Hai first, seeing that Lin Hai was still awake, she got up carefully, at this time Daiyu's feet were numb, so she had to lean on Qiushui.Qiushui helped her into the hall, and whispered to Daiyu, "Miss, you'd better go back and rest, you will be refreshed tomorrow." After hearing this, Daiyu said, "Sister, ask Uncle Lin to send someone to guard." Qiushui helped her Holding Daiyu, let her put all the weight on her body, and replied: "Linjiang is guarding outside." Daiyu let Qiushui help her out, and said to Linjiang: "Brother Linjiang, go in and guard. If Daddy wakes up and wants to know something." Lin Jiang didn't dare to raise his head and said, "I know." Daiyu walked away with Qiu Shui.

When they arrived in the courtyard where Daiyu lived, Liusu saw that Daiyu's body was a little weak, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support her with Qiushui.Seeing that the courtyard was the same as when she left home, Daiyu burst into tears.The two helped Daiyu into the room to rest.Qiu Shui knelt down and massaged Daiyu's legs.Seeing that Qiushui did not persuade Daiyu to stop crying, Liusu could only say to himself: "I packed everything. The four little girls and two nuns that Uncle Lin sent over a few days ago, I arranged for them to wait outside , to do some cleaning and the like. Mother Wang is not feeling well, and I have already sent Liu Yue to take care of her. Xueyan has prepared the bath water, do you want to eat something first or take a bath?" Daiyu cried for a while Feeling much better, she wiped her tears and said, "Sister Liusu arranged it very well. Let's take a bath first, I don't have much appetite." After speaking, he pulled Qiushui's hand and said, "Sister, don't do it, I'm much better. Qiu Shui patted Daiyu's hand and said, "Knead for a while." Tassel ordered to go down and then came back to untie Daiyu's hairpin.

The two waited for Daiyu to take a bath, and Qiushui fed Daiyu half a bowl of porridge before waiting for Daiyu to rest.Daiyu originally wanted to ask Qiushui about Lin Hai's condition, but Qiushui said, "Miss has been tired for a day, rest first, otherwise your body will be overwhelmed. You must take care of yourself. This is for the sake of the master, and you must be obedient." Daiyu listened She had no choice but to fall asleep, Qiu Shui still patted her and coaxed her to sleep.

Later, Daiyu went to Lin Hai to take care of his illness every day, but Lin Hai's illness kept failing repeatedly.On this day, Lin Hai sent everyone away, leaving only Daiyu, Qiushui and Lin Butler, and asked Lin Zhang and Linjiang to guard outside and not allow anyone to approach.Lin Hai said to Daiyu: "Yu'er, I worry about you the most, so I have to take care of everything for you before I am willing to see your mother. I sent you to your grandmother's house first, so that your grandmother can teach you The other one is that your mother and your grandmother originally planned to make you and Baoyu a pair in private. But I know that your aunt is not I like you very much. There are so many people in the mansion and it is not as glamorous as the outside. Although Baoyu treats you very well, he does not benefit himself and only knows that he is in Nevis. I am afraid that he will not be able to protect you in the future. So I I don't really want you to marry there. But if you marry, as long as there is an old lady, she will definitely protect you. I will also plan everything for you." Daiyu felt that The heartache was unbearable, but his eyes were red, and he tried to say: "I live in that mansion, and I know all these things. I only listen to my father." Lin Hai asked Qiushui again: "You have been following Yu'er, you Let’s talk about it.” Qiu Shui replied: “It’s natural that a girl grew up with Master Bao Erbai to have a special relationship. But what the master said is that I think Mrs. Wang doesn’t like girls very much. Although the old lady loves the girl , but she can't protect the girl all the time. Besides, there is also a close relative here. If there is anything in the future, the old lady will have more than enough energy." Lin Hai listened to Moran for a long time before saying: "Lin Yu, you will take me The property under his name has been settled." Lin Butler stepped forward and handed over the ledger and other things.Lin Hai leaned on the pillow to look through the ledgers.Seeing this, Daiyu persuaded: "Don't worry, Daddy, wait until you feel better." Lin Hai patted Daiyu's hand: "I'll take a good rest after all these are taken care of." After the meeting, Lin Hai ordered: "This ancestral house, those Zhuangzi in Suzhou, and some courtyard shops will be handed over to Lin Yu in the future. As for the house and Zhuangzi in Yangzhou, they will be sold, and some money that is on the surface will be sold. When I come out, I will bring it to the old lady for safekeeping. Don’t touch the original dowry of the wife, it will still be handed over to the old lady. There are also some private money and shops that should be disposed of as soon as possible and deposited in Wansheng Bank. Lin Yu, you go to the study Bring that box from the dark compartment." Lin Butler responded and withdrew.Lin Hai said to Daiyu: "What I gave to Lin Yu is your way of retreat. No matter how bad it is, there is still such a way of return. If the old lady can protect you, then what is entrusted to the old lady is your dowry. If you can't, that's okay. Daddy originally had some money that couldn't be revealed in the Wansheng Bank, and these can only be taken after confirmation. This is the second way Daddy prepared for you. You and Lin Yu is learning to look after the housekeeper. In the future, you will be in charge of these things yourself." Before she finished speaking, Daiyu was already crying on him with tears streaming down her face.Lin Hai touched Daiyu's head, also crying.

Qiu Shui was also mourning. She remembered that on the day when her mother and concubine passed away, she had planned everything for her and her fourth brother in the same way, and she was thinking so hard that she only wanted to give them a prosperous and comfortable life.Seeing Qiu Shui's expression, Lin Hai said, "Qiu Shui, you have taken care of Yu'er all these years with all your heart. You are smart and steady, and I am very relieved to hand over Yu'er to you. Qiu Shui, I will accept you as a righteous daughter. I will ask my ancestors to record your name in the genealogy. As for Linjiang, I will arrange for him to work in a famous family and find a good future for him. But I want you to put Yuer first in everything in the future and protect you all your life. Her. Can you guarantee it?" Qiu Shui knelt down and said, "Even if the master doesn't give such a great grace, I will always put the girl first and have no second thoughts." Lin Hai motioned Daiyu to help Qiushui up, and said to Daiyu Said: "I know you have always regarded Qiushui as your sister, and now it has become true. In the future, you should also respect her and listen to her teachings." Just as Lin Yu came in.Lin Hai took the box from Lin Yu, opened it and took out a piece of jade and a seal.He put the piece of jade on Daiyu's head and said, "Don't take this piece of jade away. When this piece of jade and this seal are handed over to the boss of Wansheng Bank, you can take out the money. This seal It will be kept by Qiushui." Passing the seal to Qiushui, he turned to Lin Yu and said, "I have decided to accept Qiushui as a foster daughter, so you go down and make preparations." Lin Yu went down to not mention it.Lin Hai said to Qiu Shui again: "You can be regarded as the young lady of this mansion, and you should start to learn to take care of it too. Aunt Zhou is too soft-tempered, you go and help her." Qiu Shui bowed slightly and said that he also withdrew.

Then Daiyu waited for Lin Hai to take medicine and rest, Lin Hai drank the medicine and said: "No hurry, Yu'er, sit down." Daiyu sat down, Lin Hai handed her the book title deed in the box and said, "You keep these .This is my private account, and I will erase everything that can be smoothed out. Most of these land deeds are from the capital, and you may be able to use them. Does Yu'er know about our family's ancestors?" Daiyu nodded and said: " I know." Lin Hai said: "Actually, our family is just a branch of the original Lin family. Although our family is sparsely populated, they are a distinguished family. They were forced to settle in the south of the Yangtze River because of some orders from the boss. I recommend Linjiang to go to that family. They think that we are of the same clan and will protect you a little bit. If you have any difficulties in Beijing in the future, you can take this jade to them. But you don’t need to let Qiushui know about it. It’s too detailed.” As he spoke, he told Daiyu one by one about the entanglements of the ancestors and the current connection.After talking for a long time, Lin Hai was so tired that Daiyu took a rest.

The author has something to say: This is Qiu Shui's previous efforts. Lin Ruhai no longer trusts Jia's family so much, so she prepared a way out for Daiyu.
