The Double Soul of Red Mansions

Daiyu and her sisters were having fun together, and Xiangling, who was guarding outside, held up the curtain and invited Baoyu in again.When Daiyu saw Baoyu, the smile on her face disappeared.Baochai and Tanchun glanced at each other, not understanding why Daiyu was acting like this.

Tanchun pursed his lips and shook his head, Baochai put the question in his heart.Smiling, she asked Ying'er to serve Baoyu tea and fresh fruits, and while everyone was having a good chat, she pulled Daiyu aside.

"Sister Xue, what are you doing? Pulling me to whisper?" Lin Daiyu had a mischievous smile on her face.But Baochai knew that Daiyu must have known what she was going to say.

"You are still pretending to be stupid in front of me." Baochai laughed, "This Baoyu is my aunt's lifeblood. You are not happy, so you don't have to make it so obvious, right? roots."

Daiyu raised her eyebrows, glanced at Xue Baochai, and said, "You shouldn't have told me that. That's your aunt. Sister Xue is turning her arm outward."

"You little girl, why are you so unforgiving with your mouth?" Xue Baochai twisted Daiyu's waist and said, "I just said you as my younger sister. Why are you so inconsiderate of my elder sister?"

Lin Daiyu saw that Xue Baochai didn't seem to be cheating, so she smiled and said something to Baochai: "Sister Xue, don't blame me for not reminding you, you want Xiaoxuan to be the princess servant. You can't talk to his family The girls usually hang out with him. The ancients said: Seven or eight years old and different seats, we two are not his biological sisters, if we play together, there will be accidents."

Baochai was taken aback, obviously she didn't think so much: "I'm afraid my sister is thinking too much. They are both cousins, so I'm afraid we shouldn't pay so much attention to it."

Lin Daiyu softly whispered in Xue Baochai's ear and said, "That's not up to you. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the Ministry of Rites to inquire about it. They will all be selected as servants in the palace. Whoever dares to share with my aunt's cousin's brother?" It's a bad reputation to mess around in the house." After finishing what she had to say, Daiyu said goodbye to the people in the house with a smile, and ignored everyone's persuasion, she took Zijuan and Xueyan back to her yard.

But Baochai looked at Baoyu who was joking with Sanchun, and didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a while.When she came to Beijing Xiaoxuan by herself, she planned to use Jia's relationship. If she couldn't please Baoyu and Mrs. Wang, she really didn't know who to turn to for this matter.My uncle has already left Beijing to work, so the best choice at present is my aunt's house.It's just that what Daiyu said was reasonable, and Baochai didn't know what to do for a while.

As for what Xue Baochai would do, Daiyu no longer cared.If she pays attention to her, she will pay back. Whether she listens or not is not her business.Now Daiyu doesn't want to go back to Jia Mu's yard, the yard is full of other people's eyeliner, Daiyu really feels annoyed thinking about it.

"Miss Lin, Mother Wang asked me to tell you that someone is coming from Yangzhou." The maid who came was the maid who swept Daiyu's house.

"Who did you say it was?" Lin Daiyu really laughed. Her letter should have arrived long ago. She had been waiting for the letter for a long time, but she didn't expect her father to send someone in person.No wonder it's been a long time.

"I heard Wang Momo called him Butler Lin." The servant girl said.

"Understood, let's go, let's go back." Lin Daiyu sped up her feet, and the snow geese and Zijuan behind her began to be unable to keep up. The two looked at Daiyu who was under the wind, and had a question in their hearts at the same time. Looks sick in the womb?It's more normal than them.Especially Zijuan, she was frightening in her heart. Before the girl came, everyone said that the girl was born weak and it was not easy to support her. But now, Zijuan always felt that something was wrong.It's just that I can't remember it for a while, so I don't get into this corner.

Lin Daiyu walked into the yard and went straight to Jiamu's main room.As soon as he entered the room, he said, "Boss Lin, how is Daddy?"

Lin Zhong looked at the girl who hadn't seen him for a long time with a smile and said, "everything is fine, master, but after the girl left, the master was very concerned, so he hurriedly ordered the old slave to go to Beijing to take care of the girl. The master said that he would go to Beijing at the end of the year. I will report to Beijing, and I will try my best to stay and take care of the girl when the time comes."

"But it's true?" Lin Daiyu was overjoyed, "This is really good news. Will Butler Lin not leave for a while?"

Lin Zhong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the master has already explained before he came. After he was in high school, he bought some land in the capital. Now I am here to build a house quickly. When the master comes at the end of the year, Then I have a place to live. These days, I still have to trouble the Yue family to take care of the girl for a while."

Lin Zhong's last words were for Jia's mother to hear. Jia's mother's expression remained unchanged and said straightly: "It's good that Yu'er is with me. How can a son-in-law be a big man to take care of the child? In the future, when the son-in-law comes, so will Yu'er." to live in our house."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said nothing, what a joke, what she came to Jia's mansion to live with her father is really crazy.It's just that what Daiyu is worried about now is whether Lin Hai can escape from Yangzhou safely.She doesn't understand politics, but she also knows that Lin Hai's current situation is very complicated, and it can't be covered by one or two sentences.

Mother Jia said some polite words to Lin Zhong again, and at Daiyu's request, she asked them to talk about the things in Yangzhou in private.As soon as Lin Daiyu returned to her room, she said, "Steward Lin, this letter from me has only been out for more than a month, why did you come here so soon?"

Lin Zhong smiled and sat in Daiyu's lower seat and said: "The master was always uneasy for some reason, so he packed up his things and let the old slave go to Beijing in person, saying that he was worried about the girl, but the girl's letter has been received by the master. So he ordered people to send a reply letter quickly, and told the old slave that when he came to the capital, everything will be done according to the girl's wishes."

After finishing Lin Hai's confession, Lin Zhong handed Lin Hai's reply letter to Lin Daiyu himself. Obviously, he didn't want outsiders to know this letter at all.And after Lin Hai explained, Lin Zhong began to ask Wang Momo about his girl's daily life here.Nanny Wang has been holding back in Jia's mansion for a long time, and when Lin Zhong asked, she said everything that needed to be said, like pouring beans.At the end, Lin Zhong was reminded to beware of Zicuckoo, after all, he is a servant of the Jia family, and Nanny Wang always felt uneasy.

Lin Daiyu felt relieved after seeing Lin Hai's heart.Looking at the things that Lin Zhong brought, Lin Daiyu couldn't help feeling amused. There were all kinds of daily necessities, which only she could not think of, and nothing that his father could not think of.It's ready-to-wear, just with different patterns in different sizes, and there are two big boxes.Daiyu said that her father was a little worried?She wrote a letter about the situation in Jia's house, but Lin Daiyu just wanted to tell his father that she must return to Yangzhou, but although Daiyu felt that the current situation was a bit exaggerated, she felt that she could still accept it with pleasure.

Lin Zhong didn't stay in Jia's mansion for long, he told Madam Wang some things, and immediately started to hire people to build the mansion according to Lin Hai's instructions.And although Lin Daiyu was happy to be able to escape, there was still a problem before her, and that was the piece of jade that Li Mochou was relying on now.Daiyu felt that she would have to use her brain to take this piece of jade for herself in the next few days.

Lin Daiyu is an activist, she shut the door of Zijuan and Xueyan at the first time, set aside the pen, ink, paper and inkstone with her own hands, and drew the piece of jade on Baoyu's body according to the pattern in her impression.While painting, he said: "Master and sister, can you see if there is anything else to add? This is what I think about this piece of jade. Let's make a fake piece and replace it with others. We will leave quickly in the future. Follow him every day. He has been carrying it for so many years, but he has not discovered the magic of this jade, which means that this jade has nothing to do with him, and we are doing a good deed."

"Just take it directly, why bother." Daiyu was stunned by Li Mochou's words, and after reacting for a long time, Daiyu said, "This is not good."

Li Mochou bluntly said that there was something wrong, and she still did not forget to stare at Daiyu. Daiyu looked at Li Mochou's expression that was exactly like mine, and said bravely: "It's too easy to be discovered, I dare Guaranteed, I was the object of suspicion at the first moment. Why don't we just switch positions and save some trouble. After all, I will live in the capital for a long time in the future. Master and sister, don't worry, I won't bother you, I will definitely take care of this It's all done for you. All you have to do is wait for me to offer you that piece of jade with both hands."

Li Mochou thought for a while, and felt that Daiyu's words were correct, and her way was indeed not suitable for her.So he nodded his head, agreeing with Daiyu's opinion.Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, hid the paper she had drawn, and planned to observe again to see if there were any discrepancies.

Shi Xiangyun was picked up by Jia Mu the next day, and now Daiyu found a legitimate opportunity to get close to Baoyu.Baoyu said that she wanted to start a poetry club, but Daiyu rarely stated that she wanted to join. Even after a long time, Daiyu treated Baoyu kindly. Come.

That day Baochai resigned from other affairs and brought Ying'er to Daiyu's room.

"Why is Sister Xue free today?" Daiyu was practicing calligraphy at this time, and the sisters in Jia's house obviously knew her schedule, so they basically never came to disturb her at this hour.

"A few days ago, my sister sent someone a gift. I really like it. Today, Tete came to thank my sister." Xue Baochai laughed, "But you bothered my sister?"

"I'm glad my sister is here, why bother?" Lin Daiyu smiled and said to Ying'er who was beside Baochai, "Go down, our sisters have some heart-to-heart talk, and you go to play with Zijuan and Xueyan."

With Baochai's consent, Ying'er left the house, and as soon as she left, Daiyu said, "Sister Bao, tell me what you want!"
