Chapter 122
Siqi looked at Daiyu, then at Zicuckoo, he was in a dilemma.Pursing her lips, she said: "Miss Lin, how about—" Lin Daiyu knew what she was going to say, and before she finished speaking, she smiled and said, "I don't have any other good things here, and the bird's nest is still enough."
Siqi frowned and thought about it for a long time, then said: "You don't need to take what is bestowed by the palace, ordinary ones are fine."
Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "For Second Sister, naturally I want the best."
"But……"
Daiyu interrupted her with a smile, "Okay, there are so many buts. Zijuan will bring it later, and you can follow it." After thinking about it, she said, "Just, remember one thing, don't worry about it." Tell the second sister that it was given by the palace. She is a careful person who is easy to think too much. The second sister has a body now, and thinking too much is not good for her and the child. If she has any troubles on weekdays, you can persuade her more Be careful, don't let her be bored with everything, it hurts her body the most if she sleeps for a long time. Do you remember?"
Siqi said: "Your servant will remember."
Daiyu asked the two little girls who came with her, "Do you all remember?"
Both of them bowed and said, "I remember."
Not long after, Zicuckoo came back, holding two extremely delicate boxes in her hands.Daiyu raised her head slightly, looked at Siqi, and motioned for her to hand it over to Siqi.Zijuan originally wanted to take it to Daiyu first, but she had already passed Siqi and was about to come to her. Seeing this, she nodded, and then returned, holding the box to Siqi.
Si Qi hurriedly took it with both hands, knelt down and said, "My servant thanked Miss Lin on behalf of our grandma."
Lin Daiyu hurriedly said to the girls: "Get up quickly, why are you so polite?"
Zijuan was the closest, so he hurriedly helped Siqi up.Xueyan also wanted to help, one step later than Zijuan, sticking out her tongue boredly, and said with a smile: "I'm going to help sister Siqi up, I didn't expect sister Zijuan to be faster than me, if I had known, I wouldn't have come here .”
Zijuan said: "I'm closer, so naturally I'm faster than you."
Daiyu ordered Siqi to sit down and asked her: "Have you come early in the morning, can we have dinner?"
Siqi said: "Qi Miss Lin, the servants and servants came here after eating early in the morning."
Since they came here after eating, there is no need to prepare food, Daiyu said to Xueyan, "Siqi stay here to talk, you take the other two little girls down and get them some fruits, snacks and so on. "Xueyan promised to leave, but Daiyu called her back and said: "Be careful, don't neglect the guests."
Xueyan turned her head, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, the servants will definitely entertain them to their satisfaction."
Daiyu ordered someone to pour a bowl of tea for Siqi, and watched Siqi drink more than half of the bowl of tea before asking: "How is your grandma? Is your appetite okay? How is your mood? The baby in your stomach well enough?"
Siqi said: "Miss, don't worry, our grandma is doing well, and the child is also doing well. It's just that there was some wind in the past two days, and my throat felt a bit uncomfortable. The doctor said it's nothing wrong, and it will be fine in two days."
Daiyu nodded after listening: "That's good. Second cousin is too heavy to go out now, and it's hard for me to go there. It's been a while since I saw you. I have some fresh fruits here. You can take them with you when you leave later." .Tell you grandma, don’t be polite to me. If you are missing something or medicinal materials, just come to me and ask for it. Although my family is not as grand as the rich man’s mansion, there are still a few shops, or there are some things that can be used. Used by the second sister."
Siqi raised her eyebrows, her eyes sparkled, and she said: "It's true, our grandma has something to rely on."
Daiyu asked Yingchun again if the matter of bringing up the room was completed last time. Siqi said: "Grandma originally said that she wanted to carry two girls, but my uncle loved grandma very much. He was afraid that grandma would not be useful, so he only carried one. Embroidered orange."
Daiyu thought about the appearance of the embroidered orange, and said, "That's a pretty girl with a good temper."
But even so, Cousin Yingchun was unwilling in her heart.After all, feelings are all possessive. Which woman in the world is willing to risk her husband with others?If it was her, she would definitely not want to.
Thinking about it, he exerted force on his hand, and couldn't help scratching Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang squinted his eyes and didn't say a word. He just hugged Daiyu's hand with his paws and licked it with his little tongue.
"Ah!" She didn't expect him to make such a sudden movement, and Daiyu couldn't help but exhale softly.The girls on the side were so frightened that they all tugged their hearts, thinking that Daiyu was wanted by the kitten, they all hurriedly asked her if it was okay.
Daiyu raised her finger and turned it around, indicating that she was not injured, "Fatty just licked it."
Siqi stared at Zhou Hang and said with a smile, "This cat looks really good."
Daiyu thought that it would be good to grow up if I provided delicious food and drink every day.However, someone praised Zhou Hang, and she was very useful in her heart, but modesty still needs to be modest.She looked at the kitten tenderly, and said with a smile, "It's just fatter than ordinary cats."
Zhou Hang twisted his body, a little unconvinced.
Sister Lin, where am I gaining weight?I look thin when I dress and take off my clothes, okay?
Siqi would also send bird's nest porridge to Yingchun, if he went back too late, he would have to stay up late tonight.So Daiyu didn't keep her very much, and sent someone to send them out after talking for a while. Before leaving, besides fresh fruits, she also brought a lot of snacks for Yingchun.Most of the fruits are produced in the space, which is very different from ordinary ones. Even if you don't take any medicine, as long as Yingchun eats these fruits, no matter what kind of disease you are afraid of, the medicine will cure you.
After the chess player left, Daiyu called Zijuan into the room alone.
Daiyu did it on an armchair. Seeing that Daiyu was just staring at her, Zijuan didn't speak.She pursed her lips, and said for a long time, "Miss, are you thirsty? This servant will pour you a bowl of tea." After speaking, she wanted to go forward to get the teapot and tea bowl.Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said, "No need."
Zijuan had no choice but to back away, lowering her head and not daring to meet Daiyu's eyes.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" Daiyu lowered her head and smoothed Zhou Hang's hair, without raising her eyes when she spoke.
"Slave..." Zijuan bit her lip, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were also red, tears were rolling in her eyes, suddenly she knelt down with a puff, and said with a choked voice: "Slave, I have said the wrong thing."
Daiyu was slightly disappointed, she shook her head, and said: "Zicuckoo, you and I have worked hard for so many years, I don't blame you if you have something to say. But you are so hesitant, you want to call me disappointment."
"Girl, my servant is wrong. This servant is reluctant to part with those two boxes of blood swallow bird's nest. His Royal Highness sent it with great difficulty. It is extremely rare, and you are reluctant to eat it yourself. How, how can..."
"You're wrong, Zijuan..." Daiyu raised her head and glanced at the blue sky outside the window, "It's not that I don't want to eat bird's nest, but I don't like eating bird's nest at all."
Although the bird's nest has many benefits, it is nothing compared to the spirits in the space.
"Zicuckoo, remember, no matter how good a thing is, if it cannot be used by people, it is nothing. No matter how good the bird's nest is, it will become rotten wood after a year or two in the warehouse. What is the use of it?" However, this can’t be all your fault. I don’t mean to blame you when I tell you this today, and you don’t want to separate from me because of this. I just want you to understand a truth. Follow me, don't be so petty anymore, you don't have to make people laugh, do you understand?"
The real etiquette of poetry and writing is to be humble and kind to others.This is especially true for the entertainment among nobles. If you are too caressing and stingy, you will be looked down upon.As for Daiyu's future status, she must lead by example everywhere, and the most undesirable people around her are stingy people.She warned Zicuckoo in consideration of her, and hoped that she could get rid of this problem.
Zijuan said: "Your servant understands, thank you for teaching me."
-
After nearly ten days of busy work, Lin Ruhai finally finished raising food and supplies.According to the plan, the house was only given to the envoys of Mo He, Zhi Ran and other ministries. The envoys of Emperor Dingyang waited for many days in vain, but finally got nothing and left very aggrieved.
The New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer, and the New Year's gifts from various families have been sent one after another, the farm has sent a year's rent, and shops from all over the country have also sent a year's account books.Although these are handled by the stewards of various places, Daiyu does not need to check them one by one, but you still have to ask Daiyu for instructions on important matters.Daiyu simply listened to the homework of these days, which happened to let the nuns and the ladies have a good rest.
One day, Daiyu was inspecting the things sent by a farm in the conference hall. Li Feng's wife came with two daughter-in-laws in charge, each of whom was holding a big bag.
Seeing Daiyu and bowing first, Li Feng's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "The gold and silver zippers for the New Year's money and rewards that the girl ordered are ready." Then she pointed to the daughter-in-law in charge on the left, and said, "This It’s 300 taels of gold scorpions.” After speaking, he pointed to the bag held by the wife in charge on the right, and said, “This is 1000 taels of silver scorpions. Peace and prosperity every year."
As he spoke, he signaled the two daughter-in-laws in charge to hand the bag to the maid beside Daiyu.
Hui'er and Zijuan hurriedly catch them one by one, and hold them to Daiyu for a closer look.Daiyu held the ledger in one hand, and touched the kitten's body with the other. She only turned her head and looked sideways, and said, "Put it away first, the mothers have worked hard, Xueyan, thank you!"
As soon as the words fell, Xueyan agreed, turned around and went into the inner room to take three purses, and divided them among Li Feng's wife and the two daughter-in-laws in charge.
After Li Feng's daughter-in-law and the two daughter-in-laws in charge left, Daiyu asked Hui'er, "Is the purse ready?"
Hui'er said: "I've already prepared it, do you want to pretend now?"
Daiyu put down the book, tilted her head slightly, and lamented that the weather is fine today and the sun outside is very strong, and at the same time ordered: "Snow geese, Zijuan, take the little girls and put these gold and silver scorpions into your purse." , Huier, you follow me out for a walk."
Huier said: "Yes."
In the end, I didn't want to go for a walk to bask in the sun. As soon as I arrived at the garden, a little maid came to report that Miss Zheng was visiting.Zheng Lihua was the only girl in the Lin Mansion who could report directly without handing over a name card. Thinking about it, Daiyu hadn't seen that little girl for more than a month.
Sighing, Daiyu hooked the corners of her lips, and said to Huier: "Look, we can't finish our shopping, let's go back."
Turning around, he said to the little girl, "Please invite Miss Zheng to serve tea in my small hall."
The small hall she mentioned was the hall in her own yard. Although it was not as grand and grand as the main hall and the flower hall, it was small and exquisite, and it was neatly arranged. Daiyu usually received her acquainted relatives and friends in her own small hall.
Zhou Hang was a little bit reluctant to go back before the sun came out.
In front of people, the way he expresses his reluctance is to meow and scratch Daiyu's sleeve desperately.This is the first time Hui'er has seen this kind of situation, she couldn't help laughing, "I finally know why the girl's cuffs are always off the line recently, and the feelings are all scratched by fat fat."
Daiyu grabbed someone's mischievous little paw with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Be good, I promise you to go to bed today."
A certain cat stopped making trouble immediately, and lay obediently on Daiyu's chest.
He didn't want to stay in his own den, and it wasn't a day or two since he wanted to climb into Daiyu's bed.It's a pity that even though Daiyu was quick to react, every time he took action, he was caught, so he hasn't succeeded yet.Hearing Daiyu say this now, he is naturally overjoyed, not to mention being wronged for a while, even for the rest of his life, that would be a blessing in disguise.
Zheng Lihua is wearing a dark green engraved silk cloak today, inside is emerald green engraved silk, and underneath is a skirt of the same color. She is very neatly dressed, smiling before she speaks.Daiyu also took her hand with a smile, and said, "What are you doing these days, and I don't see you walking around?"
Zheng Lihua pursed her lips, and said indignantly: "Don't say it, my mother told me to learn the rules and didn't allow me to come out. I have stayed at home for a month. If I didn't say that I came to see Sister Lin today, my mother wouldn't let me go." I'm coming out."
Hearing this, Daiyu pushed Zheng Lihua's shoulder with a smile, and said, "What rules have you learned? Give me a salute to see if the standard is standard?"
Zheng Lihua stomped her feet and said, "It's so easy for me to have a relaxing day, and you're messing with me again!"
"I'm joking, you take it seriously!" Daiyu stepped forward and still took Zheng Lihua's hand, "Go, go into the room and talk!" Turning around, she told Zijuan and Huier, "Make the best tea, and let the kitchen Make some fresh snacks!"
Zheng Lihua beamed with joy, and said with a chuckle: "Sister Lin knows me best, I want to eat lotus root flour sweet-scented osmanthus cake, does sister have it here?"
"Yes, yes!" Daiyu said, pulling Zheng Lihua into the living room.Zicuckoo has come over with freshly brewed chrysanthemum tea, and the fresh scent of chrysanthemums can be smelled from far away. Zheng Lihua sniffed and said, "Is it chrysanthemum tea? Sister Lin's tea is fresh and pleasant, which is unmatched by other places." .”
Daiyu smiled and said, "When did you learn how to taste tea?"
"I don't know how to taste tea." Zheng Lihua waved her hand, "It's just that Sister Lin's tea is exceptionally good, even people who don't know how to taste tea can drink it."
Every time Zheng Lihua came here, she would gossip to Daiyu, such as whose garden was good, whose girl was outstanding, whose living room was luxuriously decorated, and even what kind of jokes the girl made.I don't know where she heard it from, but she said it with nose and eyes, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.Hearing that she hadn't left the house for more than a month this time, Lin Daiyu thought she wouldn't bring any news this time, who knew she didn't finish a bowl of tea, so she started to gossip.
She told Daiyu that Gao Yurou was married. Although she was the housewife's grandmother, her husband was not good enough. Life was not satisfactory, and she had a few troubles. It is said that she was rectified by her mother-in-law. Now she is much more honest. .Her concubine sister was not much better than her. Gao Zhifu married his own daughter to an old man in his 40s to be the continuation room for his own future. Who knew that not long after they got married, the emperor caught up with the rectification of officials and abolished all officials.His so-called good son-in-law was dismissed for taking bribes and breaking the law, and now he is at home unemployed.
Naturally, Gao Pengfei failed to find an official, and now he is trapped in the capital, and he is said to be looking for a way out.
It's good that Gao Pengfei can't find an official, but it's a disaster for a person like him to be an official.
Zhou Hang listened thoughtfully.Since entering Beijing, things have happened one after another, and he has hardly been idle, but he forgot about Gao Pengfei.This guy is not a good bird. He even murdered Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu when he was in Yangzhou. Hmph, let me let you go at ease for a few days, and wait for the young master to recover and see how to deal with you!
After hearing this, Daiyu asked, "Didn't you say that you haven't gone out for a month? Where did you hear that?"
"I heard what my brothers said!" Zheng Lihua tilted her head to look at Daiyu, her eyes were full of doubts, as if she was asking Daiyu, what is there to ask.
Daiyu pursed her lips, forget it, pretend she didn't ask.
In fact, if Daiyu wanted to know, she could get any gossip from the capital.Don't forget, she also has a cat whose IQ is comparable to that of a human.Uh, the cat she was referring to was Yu Wan, not Zhou Hang.
The two talked endlessly, and in the end, they were talking about rouge and gouache, hairpins, and how to take care of the skin.Zhou Hang felt that it was boring, he lazily turned over in Daiyu's arms, and let out a "meow".
Zheng Lihua frowned suspiciously, tilted her head and asked, "Sister Lin, you have another brown cat? Where's the black cat?" Although the first half of the sentence was in a questioning tone, it sounded like a positive statement. The half sentence is the real question.
"You're talking about fish balls," Daiyu twitched her lips slightly, "it's the most mischievous, I don't know where it went to play again."
Thinking of fish balls, Daiyu wanted to laugh.Before Zhou Hang had this accident, the one who followed Daiyu was the big black cat fish ball.The big black cat ruled several miles around, most of the cats in the capital, and they were usually very airy, but only in front of Daiyu did they look like an animal.But as soon as it saw Zhou Hang, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, making it afraid to go east and west.
Ever since it picked up Daiyu's skirt and begged for a hug, Zhou Hang found out and gave it a hard lesson, it hid in the spirit lake of space and refused to come out.Those eyes saw Zhou Hang in awe and backed away. I am afraid that Yu Wan will not be able to regain his previous air until Zhou Hang recovers and returns to the palace.
Although the kitten ignores people and looks very cold, but it looks really cute.After watching for a while, Zheng Lihua couldn't help but said, "Sister Lin, can I touch it?"
Daiyu glanced at Zhou Hang, and saw obvious rejection in his eyes.Looking at Zheng Lihua's little eyes full of anticipation and anticipation, Daiyu shook her head firmly, "Fatty doesn't like being touched." In fact, she didn't like Zhou Hang being touched by other girls either.
As usual, it should hurt to be rejected so bluntly, but Zheng Lihua's nature is informal and has a bit of a solid eye.Whoever she is good with, that person is all good in her eyes, and even the shortcomings are good; It is also bad in her eyes.
At this moment, she firmly believes that Daiyu is very good. Although she doesn't understand why Daiyu doesn't let her touch the cat, there is always a reason for not letting her touch it.Although a little lost, she will not be angry or even resentful because of this incident.
Laughing, Zheng Lihua asked: "It's also called Pangpang, the same name as the one raised by my sister in Yangzhou City?"
Daiyu nodded, "Do you like cats?"
"I like it!" Zheng Lihua without thinking.
Daiyu said: "We still have a few full moon kittens in our house, if you like, you can pick one to take home."
In the early morning after a heavy snowfall last month, Yuball suddenly dragged a basket back.In the basket are three kittens who are not yet full moon, and they can't even walk.At that time, Daiyu's first reaction was the illegitimate children and daughters that Yu Wan had created outside. After careful questioning, she realized that Yu Wan had been wronged.This is a kitten born by a wild cat. The wild cat went out to steal and was beaten to death. When Yu Wan went out for a stroll, he heard a few kittens crying, so he brought them back one by one.
Daiyu saw that the kittens were dying of hunger, she was very pitiful, and she felt distressed, so she ordered someone to fetch goat milk to feed the kittens. It has been a full moon since they were raised, and they are all cute and lively. Several people want to take them back to raise them But Daiyu didn't give it to them, fearing that they wouldn't be able to raise them well, and the kittens would be wronged.
Zheng Lihua is a kind-hearted person, if she wanted it, Daiyu would feel free to raise it for her.
Zheng Lihua's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "Where is the kitty, show me quickly!"
As he said that, he stood up and made a gesture to go out to see the cat.
"Don't panic!" Daiyu pulled her back amusedly, "Do you know where it is? I have to rush out!"
Zheng Lihua was stunned when she heard the words, scratched her head in embarrassment, grabbed Daiyu's hand and acted like a baby: "Sister take me there!"
Daiyu took Zheng Lihua out, and they went into the east wing together.Three or four little girls were squatting on the ground to feed the cat. They mixed the minced fish with goat milk and boiled it into a paste. The food the cat ate was very sweet.The three cats are all snow-white, with a touch of black on the tip of the tail and between the eyebrows. They are fat and fat, like rolling snowballs, really cute.A cat was lying in front of the small bowl, eating big mouthfuls, and the other two cats seemed to be full, staggering and playing. A little maid lured them over with a hydrangea ball in her hand.
Seeing Daiyu coming, the maids hurriedly got up to say hello.
Daiyu pulled Zheng Lihua into the room and said, "Look carefully, which one do you like?"
Zheng Lihua thought for a while and said: "Just eat and get some, so that you can feed yourself."
Daiyu couldn't help laughing "puchi". According to Zheng Lihua's logic, if you can eat, you can support yourself. Then the other two eat faster, so they can support themselves better?However, she didn't ask this question.She has eaten goat's milk mixed with spiritual spring water at her place, and any kitten she chooses will be smart and easy to feed.Therefore, it doesn't matter which one Zheng Lihua chooses.
Zheng Lihua likes the kitten she picked very much. It is a female cat. She even gave her a very poetic name, Mu Xi, which comes from a folk song of Chu State in ancient times: Mountains have trees, trees have branches, and hearts have trees. You don't know if you are happy.
Seeing that she cared so much about the kittens, Daiyu was also very relieved.
Before Zheng Lihua left, Daiyu asked Zijuanzai to explain to her the precautions and taboos of keeping cats.
-
Time flies, and there are only a few days left before the end of the year.On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the yamen stopped working, and on the 28th, Lin Fu received blessings, couplets and other things from the emperor.On New Year's Eve, the emperor officially sealed the pen. During this period, he could no longer write imperial edicts, but could only convey them orally.
But until the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhou Hang still failed to recover.
Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor had to find a way to cover up for the prince.
At the New Year's Eve banquet, everyone noticed the emperor's depression.Except for the Supreme Emperor exchanging cups with a few concubines and concubines, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, the rest of the concubines, including princes and concubines, held their breath and concentrated, not daring to say a word, and not daring to have fun.
A family banquet was being held in the palace, and Lin Fu, Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu were also having a New Year's Eve dinner.
Because of the presence of Zhou Hang, the two aunts were not allowed to serve this year's New Year's Eve dinner.Lin Ruhai just gave them a few dishes to the small courtyard where they lived, and let the two of them watch the New Year and celebrate the New Year together.
After eating, sit in a place to watch the year.
Everyone in the house was dressed in new clothes. Daiyu was dressed in red and gold clothes covered with patterns and patterns. Zhou Hang also put on small clothes of the same color and pattern, which were made by Daiyu herself.Zhou Hang's cat is not big, so it's easy to make.What's more, Daiyu can also use spells to control the needle and thread, and the efficiency is several times higher than that of ordinary manual work. It only took half a day to make it.
Daiyu not only made small clothes, but also a small hat, which was also bright red, and Zhou Hang looked very cute and beautiful in it.When the watch lasted until midnight, all the girls were very sleepy, and some of them dozed off while standing.Lin Ruhai happened to want to talk to his daughter about himself, so he ordered them all to go down and come back when they were called.
After everyone had left, Lin Ruhai opened his mouth, but didn't say anything else, why would there be a cat staring at him beside him.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ruhai said, "Will Yu'er play a game of chess with Weifu?"
Daiyu said: "My daughter has exactly this intention."
There is no chessboard in the room, the chessboard is placed in the east wing, and Lin Ruhai is about to go out to get the chessboard.Daiyu said: "Daddy forgot? There is a ready-made one right now."
"You mean?" Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows.
Daiyu nodded, and with a wave of her hand, there was already a chessboard on the table.There was excitement in Lin Ruhai's eyes, and he hurriedly set up a small kang table, asked Daiyu to put the chessboard on the small kang table, and the father and daughter sat facing each other.
Lin Ruhai glanced at Daiyu, his eyes were full of inquiries, there are no secret whistle around us to watch.He knew that his daughter was very capable now, and he couldn't hide anything from her within a few feet.
Daiyu returned a reassuring look.
Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, stroked the chessboard lightly, and sighed: "It's really a rare and good chessboard!"
Daiyu arranged the chess pieces, stretched out her hand and said, "Daddy, please!"
Lin Ruhai nodded, and Zhou Hang actively jumped to Lin Daiyu's side, being a quiet bystander.Of course, he is not a pure bystander. When Daiyu is careless and loses his defense for a while, he will remind him vaguely.Lin Ruhai saw it as if he didn't see it, winning or losing didn't matter to him, so he just treated it as playing with his daughter and chatting to pass the boring time.
The result of the game was that Lin Ruhai won two sentences and Daiyu won two sentences.
After the four rounds, both of them had consumed a lot of energy and needed a good rest.
Zhou Hang lay on a brocade mattress and squinted his eyes. Daiyu thought she was asleep, fearing that he would freeze, so she put a special one-foot-square quilt on him.Unexpectedly, Zhou Hang opened his eyes as soon as Zhou Hang was covered, and Daiyu smiled and said, "You're not asleep!"
Zhou Hang squinted his eyes, and the corners of his eyes gathered in the middle, almost squeezed together, with a very deep look.This kind of expression appeared on a cat, which was a bit funny, Daiyu and Lin Ruhai unconsciously smiled.
"I always feel that I am suddenly unable to transform this time, and the things behind it are not that simple."
"How do you say that?" Daiyu also frowned, "Isn't it because you overused spells that you couldn't transform?"
Zhou Hang shook his head, "I just remembered, it was New Year's Eve, and I watched the New Year's Eve with my mother. I was only six years old that year, and some memories are blurred, but I also vaguely remember that she seemed to say what would happen to me that year .”
"What's going to happen?" Daiyu asked.
Zhou Hang frowned, "I can't remember, it seems to be a coming-of-age ceremony or something. My mother said that she would tell me everything carefully after my 17th birthday, but I wore it here when I was 16 years old." .” After speaking, he spread his hands.
"No way, this is your rite of passage." Daiyu pointed to Zhou Hang's cat body.
If that's the case, he really doesn't want any rite of passage.Thinking about it, Zhou Hang scratched his head and pulled the little red riding hood off his head, "Or, what clues did my mother leave for me?"
Thinking of the mechanism on the chessboard back then, Daiyu thought it was very possible.
"Do you think the clues are also on the chessboard?" she asked.
Zhou Hang spread his hands, expressing that he didn't know either.Moreover, he had tried it before, but he couldn't find any mechanism on the chessboard.Or the clues are not on the chessboard, but now that it is dawn, there is no time to go into the space to find clues.
Daiyu said: "After a while, I will look for it with you."
Zhou Hang nodded.
After the drum beats, it means the arrival of the new year, and the servants come in to pay New Year's greetings and say auspicious words.After Lin Ruhai and Daiyu received the gift, they rewarded the servants with purses, which contained gold and silver pouches.Maids, maids, servants, etc., regardless of first, second, or third class, all receive the same rewards, and even the lower the servants are, the more rewards they get. This is the rule in all the prefectures.The servants who received the rewards were all elated, and swarmed outside to set off fireworks and firecrackers.
As a Beijing official, Lin Ruhai had to go to the palace to congratulate him, and to follow the emperor to participate in various sacrifices and ceremonies, which took almost a long time.Lin Ruhai didn't eat, and left after eating and drinking half a bowl of tea. Daiyu was afraid that he would be hungry, so she packed a lot of snacks for him to take with him on the way.
Lin Ruhai took the snacks and asked Daiyu to sleep well to make up for all the energy she spent.
Daiyu promised to send Lin Ruhai out, and was about to go back to her room when she saw two aunts accompanying her, saying they wanted to pay New Year's greetings to the master.Lin Daiyu had no choice but to cheer up and entertain them for the time being. Knowing that Lin Ruhai had gone to the palace to congratulate them, they didn't say to leave, but said that the master was not here, and it was good to talk with the girl, otherwise the girl would be lonely alone.
She stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling faces, so Daiyu had no choice but to talk with them.
These two people talked to each other, their mouths hardly stopped, and one of them talked until lunch time at noon.
Daiyu had no choice but to let them have lunch before leaving.After dismissing everyone, Daiyu and Zhou Hang entered the space, called the fish ball out and guarded the gate outside.Daiyu said: "If Auntie left any clues, it must be in the house. Let's go there and have a look."
Zhou Hang said: "Good!"
The two of them went into the room together and searched everywhere, but they didn't find anything like a clue, so they had to come out.
Officials who entered the palace to congratulate them after participating in various ceremonies and receiving banquets would usually be able to turn around before the hour, but Lin Ruhai didn't come back until Shenshi.They sent people to various mansions to inquire, and even those princes and clans who came to the palace to congratulate them all returned to the mansions, but Lin Ruhai was nowhere to be seen.
It wasn't until the third quarter of the hour that the servant who followed Lin Ruhai came back and reported that the master was left behind by the saint.
Daiyu didn't know why the sage left her father alone, but she doubted something.She knew that no matter what means the Holy Majesty used, her father would never reveal Zhou Hang's whereabouts, but it was precisely because of this that she was even more worried.
The king's heart is unpredictable, and being with you is like being with a tiger, these words appeared one by one in Daiyu's mind.
"Brother Hang, tell me, Daddy, is she okay?"
Daiyu's eye circles were red, and tears welled up in their sockets, finally welling up in them.Zhou Hang was so distressed that he wished he could replace it with his body, and wanted to go up to wipe her tears, but now he couldn't reach his small arms and legs even if he jumped up.
He had no choice but to crawl into Daiyu's arms first, stretching his paws hard. The cat who was so absorbed in it didn't notice a crystal clear teardrop just fell on the sapphire in front of his neck.
Daiyu was just impatient for a moment, shed a few tears, and soon stopped.
She looked at Zhou Hang, and couldn't help being surprised.
Zhou Hang saw Daiyu's eyes widen, filled with surprise, he couldn't help but tilt his head, and was about to ask what's wrong.Daiyu pointed to his neck and said, "Your, your jade..."
"What happened to Yu?" Zhou Hang looked down and was also stunned.
into space!
The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.
It was too late and then quickly, and in just a split second, they were in the midst of green mountains and green waters.
"What's going on?" Daiyu asked.
"I don't know either." Zhou Hang said.
"Okay, why is your piece of jade glowing?" Daiyu was talking, and saw that the jade's light was getting bigger and bigger, first it was blue light, then it turned into white light, and then it became colorful brilliance.Then, those lights slowly separated from the sapphire, as if they were about to turn into a solid body, and gradually gathered into a human form, which was an extremely beautiful woman.
"Mom, it's you!" Zhou Hang couldn't help shouting.
"Oh, baby, you have suffered." The woman said this first, and then showed a surprised look, "I calculated that you would return to the era that belonged to you, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Taking a closer look at Zhou Hang, he praised, "That's right, you've already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Why, have you seen your father?"
"Mom, what's going on? Why can't I recover my human form?"
The beauty said: "Baby, Mom finally got in touch with you. We can only communicate for 2 minutes at most. Are you sure you want to say that this has nothing to do with it?"
Zhou Hang had a mouthful of old blood choked in his throat, this is nothing to do, this is the most urgent thing for him right now.
"Baby, tell mom, who is the little beauty next to you? Is it sister Lin? Is she really cute?"
Zhou Hang looked at his unreliable mother, and let out an angry "Yeah", "Now can you tell me what's going on?"
The beauty in the air cleared her throat, "Son, you are not bad, you really kidnapped sister Lin—"
Before the words were finished, Zhou Hang interrupted, "Mom, I'll talk about these words later, please tell me what's going on first?"
"Didn't I tell you that our family is not an ordinary family. We have the blood of ancient beasts in our body, and every generation will produce an awakened person. The previous generation was me, and this generation is your son."
"When did you tell me?" Zhou Hang asked suspiciously.
"When you were one year old, probably..." The beauty paused, Zhou Hang was so angry that he was speechless, and was about to say something when the beauty continued, "Do you think you are just a brown cat? You are so wrong. ! You are actually a real golden cat."
"What cat?" Zhou Hang felt that he had been hit violently, and his three views were shattered.
Golden cat, I still have a diamond cat!
The beauty smiled and said: "Golden cat! When you become an adult, you will undergo an evolution. The brown fur will shed, and then become a golden fur that glistens like gold."
"Gold?" Zhou Hang frowned in disgust, "Don't tell me it's the kind of rich gold that nouveau riche like?"
The beauty smiled wildly and nodded, and winked at Daiyu.
Zhou Hang felt that he could die and pay back the rich money, did he think he wasn't shining enough?
But there is one more important thing to ask right now, "So, I can't regain my human body now, is it because I am evolving?"
"Son, you are so smart. You are right. After the evolution is complete, you will be able to completely control your body and change it freely." After the beauty finished speaking, she looked at Daiyu, "Daughter-in-law, mother likes you so much, oh, it's almost gone It's time, daughter-in-law, then, this is a gift from your mother."
A gleaming object floated down from the sky and just landed in Daiyu's hand.
Daiyu stared at it suspiciously. Although she couldn't see what it was, she didn't ask out of politeness.
The beauty waved her hands in the air, "Son, daughter-in-law, there is no time, mother is gone..."
Then the whole person gradually blurred and disappeared in the air.
Zhou Hang sighed for a long time. His unreliable mother didn't get to the point in the end. He figured out the reason, but he still didn't know what to do next.
