Chapter 29
In the front yard, Yan Li arranged Song'er and Bai'er behind the west wing where Qing'er used to live, then handed a bundle to Aunt Li and said, "Give this to Miss Lin, just say I saw it by chance on the street. I bought it, and it’s best to wear it when the snow falls.” Aunt Li hurriedly agreed, and went directly to the backyard with her bags.
In the backyard, Daiyu just had lunch, and now she is restless, thinking that she has treated Yan Li so slowly, will he be angry?Or, he should take the initiative to go to the front yard to say hello, after all, he said something happened at home when he left, and he didn't know how it was going.
Just thinking about it, Aunt Li has already stepped into the house.Zijuan hurriedly greeted her with a smile, and when she saw a big bag in her hand, she knew that Yan Li must have bought it for Daiyu, and said with a smile: "What good thing is this?"
Aunt Li smiled and said: "Young master just gave it to me. Let me send it to Miss Lin. She said I saw it on the street by chance. It is best to wear it when the snow falls. I think it should be a cloak or something like that!" The burden was handed to Zicuckoo.
Zicuckoo hurriedly took it and asked Daiyu with her eyes.Daiyu was embarrassed and ashamed, she felt a little embarrassed at the moment, thinking of accepting his gifts every now and then, not only would she feel bad about herself, but she was afraid that Aunt Li and other servants would make fun of her, so after thinking about it, she deliberately refused.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Li saw Daiyu's hesitation, she had guessed her mind long ago, and hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, this is the young master's wish, you can accept it, if you don't accept it, the young master will suffer again!"
"But, Aunt Li, I always look like this, not to mention what other people think, even I feel ashamed!" Daiyu wondered.
Aunt Li smiled and said: "Miss thinks too much. Not to mention that the girl is frustrated now, it is right for my son to help you a little bit, not to mention that the girl is still the sister of the son's friend. It is more reasonable to give a few things. If you don't , but it’s rude, girl, please accept it!”
Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly raised her head and asked, "Who says I'm the sister of the young master's friend? Did Mr. Yan say it himself?"
"Yes! Isn't it a girl?" Aunt Li also looked surprised.
Daiyu's complexion changed slightly, and then she smiled sadly again, and said: "Yes, of course! I... I thought Mr. Yan didn't tell you, so I will accept it!" Open the baggage to check.
Zijuan hurriedly untied the bundle, and a scarlet skirt appeared in front of several people.Zijuan and Daiyu are most familiar with the material of this kind of orangutan felt. They were taken aback for a moment, but Daiyu was fine. Zijuan especially excitedly took it out, shook it open, and saw that it was indeed a fine workmanship. The orangutan felt and the feather satin cloak hurriedly said to Daiyu: "Miss, Mr. Yan is really thoughtful!"
Daiyu was also quite surprised, because she knew that such things were expensive, ordinary people couldn't afford them, and it was difficult to buy them in ordinary shops, so she had mixed feelings at the moment, so she had to say to Aunt Li: "Please tell Mr. Yan Please thank him for me!" Then he ordered Zijuan to take a piece of silver and insisted on giving it to Aunt Li, saying: "I know this orangutan felt cloak must have cost Mr. Yan a lot. Thoughts and money, but if I want to give him money, I think he will not accept it, so I have to give my aunt a small amount of money, and treat my aunt for tea, if my aunt does not accept it, she will despise us!" The dead piston gave it to her.Aunt Li had no choice but to accept it.
After Aunt Li left, Daiyu took the cloak and took a closer look, and then sighed, "When I was in Rongguo Mansion, the girls in the family each had one of the orangutan felt cloaks, and they all wore them when the snow fell. Now that we have fallen to this point, not to mention having such clothes, I am already grateful to have ordinary clothes to keep out the cold, I really did not expect it, and I can really see that Mr. Yan is bothering!" After finishing, Then he caressed the feathers on the cloak in a daze.
Zijuan knew what Daiyu was thinking, even though she said she was lukewarm towards Yan Li, but her heart was not moved once or twice, it was just the reservedness of her daughter's family, and the pain Baoyu left her was not the same. She can completely let go in a day or two, so she understands Daiyu's contradictions and entanglements at this time, and she can't persuade her further, she only chooses insignificant words to comfort her, and then suddenly thinks of something. : "Mr. Yan has already given the girl some things. According to my opinion, the girl should also return a decent thing, so as not to be wronged."
Daiyu thought for a while, and said: "This is inappropriate, so as not to fall into the trap of others, why not wait for our own house to be repaired, move out of his house, and then slowly return the favors to him!" Zijuan listened, It also made sense, so he pressed the idea.
When Yan Li came back this time, he was in a hurry to repair Daiyu's house. After all, the weather was getting colder every day, so he had to move Daiyu into his new home before the end of the year.After making up his mind in this way, Yan Li ordered Song'er and Bai'er to find a craftsman who specializes in repairing the house with him the next day, and renovate the inside and outside. According to his original intention, he wanted to be between the two houses I dug a door in between, and I was afraid that Daiyu would be suspicious, so I gave up the idea. In this way, I went to my own door and became two neighbors.
It's been a busy day, and more than ten days have passed.After the repairs on the building were completed, Yan Li went to Daiyu in person, and discussed with her the layout of the courtyard and the various items that should be added inside and outside the house. After Daiyu thought about it carefully, she made a long list Yan Li ordered Song'er and Bai'er to buy them one by one, and personally supervised them to perfect everything.
And when everything is completed, it will be one month later.On this day, Yan Li ordered people to invite Daiyu to her new home, pointing to a brand new house, said: "This is your future home, your real home, what do you think?"
Daiyu actually came to check every now and then.Seeing that all the work had been completed, I couldn't help but excitedly said: "Thank you so much Mr. Yan, I am very satisfied! Now that all the work has been completed, please ask Mr. Yan to make a list of expenses as soon as possible. Daiyu will refund more and make up for less."
Yan Li said: "Don't worry, I have an urgent matter to go out recently, and I have to walk for about ten days and a half months. When I come back, I will definitely come and ask for money from the girl!"
When Daiyu heard that he was going to leave again, she couldn't help feeling disappointed and a little uneasy, and asked, "But is there anything wrong with your family?"
Yan Li shook his head and said: "No, it was an old friend who sent me a letter, saying that I have been suffering from an illness for a long time, and he knows that I know a little bit about medicine, so he wants to invite me to have a look. He saved it."
Daiyu heard that it was a matter of life and death, so she hurriedly said: "If that's the case, please go quickly, and be careful along the way. If there is anything to do, you can send someone to deliver the letter. I will help if I can."
Yan Li nodded solemnly, told her the chosen moving date, and left in a hurry.
