The Double Soul of Red Mansions

Chapter 41 Entering the Palace

Before dawn, Daiyu had already prepared the things needed to enter the palace.

"Little nephew, this is for your self-defense." Bai Jin smiled and brought a necklace around Daiyu's neck and said, "This is a defensive magic weapon that can protect you. You must wear it well. Seven of us The people who kill the temple can't let those ordinary people get hurt."

"Master, I am also an ordinary person." Daiyu touched the necklace and said, "Master, why do you have so many feminine things?"

"Ah?" Bai Jin didn't expect Daiyu to say this, but he thought about it seriously and said, "It seems that I got it from some nun's storage space. I can't remember clearly. I go down a lot, and most of these things are loot."

Daiyu chuckled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yuer. From now on, I will ask you to take care of my master and sister."

Daiyu knew that as long as she left the Lin residence, Li Mochou and Bai Jin would leave.And when she will return, she does not know.

"Yu'er, don't think too much on behalf of others, if you can't do it, kill yourself. At worst, master will take you out of here." Li Mochou patted Daiyu's shoulder and said, "Those ghosts and monsters are no big deal."

Daiyu smiled, she had already gotten used to Li Mochou's way of solving problems by killing.

"Master, when you get there, you have to take good care of yourself. If you encounter a strong opponent, don't try to be brave, let the uncle go. Wait until you are capable, and then kill." Daiyu said in a relaxed tone, "You must protect yourself first. .”

"Girl, it's time, my lord is waiting for you outside." Zijuan said outside.

"I see." Lin Daiyu said towards the outside, then looked at Bai Jin and Li Mochou and said, "Uncle and Master, if you have time to come and see me, there are twenty other people who haven't met Uncle Shi, when you come here, I will treat you to tea, the best cha."

Daiyu knew that Bai Jin only liked the tea here, so she shrugged and said, "When I enter the palace, I will find a way to get some good tea for my uncle, so my uncle must come back!"

"I know, you little cleverness, I will bring your master back often." Now Li Mochou's strength is not enough to travel through the planes alone, Daiyu said so, but she wanted Bai Jin to bring Li Mochou back to have a look , and Bai Jin himself knew Daiyu's true thoughts.

"Then I'm leaving, and you have a safe journey." Daiyu picked up the bundle that Zijuan had packed and left her room with a smile.She knew that as soon as she went out, they would leave too.

Li Mochou had been with her for so long, Lin Daiyu was really reluctant to part with her.But no matter how reluctant she was, Lin Daiyu also knew that she couldn't keep Li Mochou by her side forever.

That would be so selfish.

Putting the necklace given by Bai Jin in her clothes, Lin Daiyu looked at Zijuan and Xueyan outside the door and said, "Let's go, the hour is almost here."

"Girl, is Miss Li going too?" Xueyan asked in a low voice.

"Well, but you will often clean my sister's residence in the future. If you let me know that you are lazy, I will not clean you up." Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

"Girl, I won't be lazy." Xueyan said.

"I don't know you yet, a master of laziness." Lin Daiyu said with a sneer, "From now on, please take care of my father. If you don't eat on time, you have to supervise. If you can't solve anything, go to Qi Guogong's mansion to find three Girl, she'll send word to me."

"Young lady has told you many times, we have written them all down." Xueyan laughed.

"I just told you specifically, Zijuan doesn't need me to bother." Daiyu said.

After saying a few heartfelt words to the two maids, Daiyu got into the carriage.

"Father, you don't need to send me off." Daiyu smiled, "You just came down to court, you better take a rest."

"Yu'er entered the palace for the first time, how could Daddy not see you off. Don't worry, Daddy will go back home to rest after seeing you off." Lin Hai laughed.

Daiyu nodded, let's see her father as soon as she enters the palace, it is not as convenient as before.

In the early morning, the wheels of the carriages made a crisp sound, but there are more carriages in the capital today.

Lin Daiyu is the servant appointed by the current emperor, and she does not have to compete with others, but she has to go through this process because she has to learn a lot of rules.

Daiyu has no objection to this, she has already entered the palace, where she stays and what she does, it doesn't make any difference to her.

"Master Lin, why are you here?" When Lin Hai got off the carriage, a eunuch greeted him.

"Eunuch De, I'm not here to see off my little girl." Lin Hai smiled and pointed to Daiyu behind him, "This is Daiyu, my little girl. I'm going to bother my father-in-law these days."

Speaking of which, Lin Hai personally stuffed a red envelope for Duke De.

Eunuch De is the person next to Concubine Chen Huanggui, and she is in charge of attending the reading this time, so it is not surprising that Eunuch De came here.

"Your Majesty Lin, you are too polite. Miss Lin is so smart and handsome, she doesn't need to be taken care of by a miscellaneous family." After speaking, Eunuch De smiled and looked at Lin Daiyu and said, "We will all work together in the same palace in the future. What can the girl use the miscellaneous family? That's what I ordered."

Lin Daiyu hurriedly said that she didn't dare, and saluted Eunuch De with a smile.

Eunuch De nodded inwardly at Lin Daiyu's performance. Today, because of the stalking by the aunt of the Chen family, the imperial concubine asked herself to come out to meet the girl from the Lin family.He didn't want to, but now in the palace, except Lu Gonggong who is next to the Holy One, who can beat him, it's nothing more than hindering the master's life, so he has to come.

Now that Daiyu is so knowledgeable, he feels that she is not bad.

"Sister Lin." Xue Baochai had been waiting at the gate of the palace early on, listening to the ladies in her ears discussing the identity of Father-in-law De, she would come to climb if she had the opportunity.

"Sister Xue." Lin Daiyu smiled and looked at Xue Baochai who came over, "Who brought you here today?"

"Brother, he has already gone back. The shop has been busy recently." Xue Baochai smiled.

"Who is this girl?" In fact, Eunuch De already knew from the address that Miss Xue was probably the one who sent Miss Chen San to the palace to find the imperial concubine.

"Hello, Eunuch, I am Baochai from the Xue family of Ziweishe." Xue Baochai saluted Eunuch De with a smile.

"It turned out to be Miss Xue. I have admired you for a long time." Eunuch De said politely, and then said to Lin Hai, "The palace gate will be opened soon, Mr. Lin should go back. Foreign ministers are not allowed in the inner palace."

Lin Hai smiled and clasped his fists at Eunuch De and said, "Then I will trouble Eunuch to take care of the little girl."

"It should be, it should be." Eunuch De was smiling at Lin Hai just a second ago.In the next second, he shouted at the girls who chose to read with him.

"Everyone is lined up, what a mess it looks like."

Xue Baochai hurriedly pulled Lin Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, let's go, let's queue up."

"Miss Lin, you don't need to participate in the selection. You go with the miscellaneous family." Eunuch De is definitely an expert at changing faces. He had a serious face just now, but when he turned around, his face was full of smiles.

Xue Baochai whispered to Lin Daiyu that she would go to line up first, and then left.

"Miss Lin, please." Eunuch De smiled and asked Lin Daiyu to get into the soft sedan chair, and ordered the little eunuch to carry Lin Daiyu directly to the residence of the candidate girl to rest.

Lin Daiyu took a step ahead with the soft sedan chair, envious of many girls.

"This is the girl from Mrs. Lin Hai's family? She looks really good-looking." I don't know who opened the mouth, and the others started to talk in a few words.

"I don't think much of it, and I don't know what the Holy One values ​​her. I heard that she was once kidnapped."

"Abducted? What's going on, tell me and listen."

"Are you from out of town? You don't even know about this." The speaker gave the unknowing girl a contemptuous look and said, "Who in the whole capital doesn't know that the girl from the Lin family was kidnapped from Jia's mansion at night and reported to her?" I couldn’t find it after passing the customs, and finally returned to Beijing by myself.”

"Then what happened to her?"

"Then you have to think for yourself, or you can pass the first test and go in and ask yourself."

"Sister Wu, you can't talk nonsense about this hearsay. The girl from the Lin family was hand-picked by the Holy Majesty. By saying that, are you questioning the wisdom of the Majesty?"

"Zhou Jinlan, don't talk nonsense, I'm questioning you." Wu Qingqing glared at Zhou Jinlan and said.

"Isn't there?" Zhou Jinlan chuckled, "We all want to go to the palace to accompany the princess to study, so we can't gossip like that street shrew."

"You..." Concubine Wu Guifei and Concubine Zhou Guifei usually compete secretly. Even the eldest prince and the second prince under their knees are secretly fighting for each other. Now even the children of the two families outside the palace are fighting each other when they meet. .

"What me?" Zhou Jinlan chuckled, "It's no better than being at home when you enter the palace. Just keep your mouth shut. Why is it difficult for you to be taught at home?"

"Keep quiet." Eunuch De shouted towards the queue, "Do you think the inner courtyard of the palace is a vegetable market?"

Zhou Jinlan glanced at Wu Qingqing, mouthed a wait-and-see gesture, and stepped forward into the palace gate.

This week, the two girls Wu had a deep grudge, not only because of the relationship between the two families, but also because of the man.The second prince under the knee of Concubine Zhou.Now that the second prince has reached the age for a big wedding to choose a princess, both of them have their eyes on the position of this princess.

The room Daiyu was allocated was an independent one.Here, she only needs to learn the rules with everyone for two hours a day. After learning the rules, she can go directly to the eldest princess to study.

"Girl, my name is Xiaoyuan, and I will take care of her daily life and food from now on." A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl walked in from outside the house.

"Hello, sister." Daiyu, who was older than herself, smiled and called her sister politely.

"Don't dare to trouble Miss like this, just call her Xiaoyuan." Xiaoyuan added at the end, "This is the rule in the palace, a master is a master, and a slave is a slave."

Daiyu nodded, she was just being polite.In the Lin Mansion, Zijuan, who was older than herself, never called her sister.As for rules, it is reckoned that apart from Jia's mansion, the rules will not be broken in other mansions.

"Miss, these are palace clothes. You can change them after a short rest. Today, the attendants will test the first level. It has nothing to do with the girl. You can walk around nearby." Xiaoyuan smiled and put her hands in her hands. Put the clothes on Daiyu's bed and said.

"Okay, I see." Daiyu nodded, "I'll take a break, you go to work first, I will call you if there is anything to do."
