Chapter 115 Daiyu's decision
Chapter 115 Daiyu's decision
Although Daiyu sent a post early to invite people from Jia's mansion to visit the garden, but in the end she couldn't make the trip because Jia's mother was tired and had a cold a few days ago.Mrs. Wang and others waited on the sick, but they failed to come, but Baoyu was still the only one who really came.When Baoyu came with Jin Chuan'er and Xiren, Daiyu said with a smile: "Why don't you see Sister Bao and the others, maybe they are too busy to have time."
Baoyu walked into the 'Painting Screen' with a smile, looking at the embroidery painting of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea with surprise on his face and said with a smile: "You don't know her, she is the most disciplined person. When I heard that Aunt Xue and Da My sister-in-law can't even come, she definitely can't come."
Daiyu was noncommittal and pushed him, "Go in, what are you doing standing here?"
"This painting is the work of Mu Qing and Qing Wen again. This embroidery is really amazing. I remember that my sister also learned it a few years ago. Why don't you help me embroider a brocade handkerchief someday?" Baoyu said. He walked into the room with a flattering face, and chatted with Daiyu.Zijuan had already called Jin Chuaner and Xiren to visit the garden, but it took Baoyu a long time to remember what Jin Chuaner told him.He looked at Daiyu carefully again, and saw that Daiyu looked very good, probably because she hadn't suffered much grievance.
"What has Sister Lin been doing lately?" Baoyu pretended to be casual and asked.
"What else can I be busy with? Isn't it just this little thing at home? I just moved here and I'm very busy. I haven't picked up a pen to write a few words for several days!" Daiyu sighed softly: "You are here today, accompany me Can I write a few words?"
"Is sister Lin very tired?" Baoyu couldn't help but turn ugly when he heard Daiyu say this: "My sister is weak, so I don't bother my sister with trivial matters at home. Go back to the ancestors and pick up my sister's house!"
Daiyu had already gotten used to Baoyu's habit of being an idiot when nothing happened, so she smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I live very well!"
"Sister Lin, do you know how much silver taels this garden cost?" Baoyu felt that Daiyu was embarrassed to say so, and she was more sure of Jin Chuan'er's words in her heart, so she asked with a serious face.Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, but really couldn't understand what Baoyu meant by asking this question.Mu Qing was accompanying Daiyu in the living room, upon hearing Baoyu's words, she couldn't help but frowned, and flirted with the third-class little girl guarding outside the door, that little girl was also very clever, and quickly ran away up.
"Why do you ask this?" Daiyu smiled: "My brother is always taking care of it alone. What do I care about those?" Baoyu was even more shocked when he heard it.Surprised in his heart, he secretly decided that Lin Haorui must be a kind-hearted person who had already taken the money that Uncle Lin left for Daiyu as his own, but he had a quarrel with Daiyu because of this last time.At this time, I didn't dare to say it outright.
Baoyu rolled her eyes and said sadly: "The day before yesterday I was in a daze listening to my ancestors and Yuanyang talking about private property. Later, my ancestors fell asleep, and I went to ask Yuanyang to find out that the garden we built was still missing. There are a lot of taels of silver, and the old ancestor has already used his body to subsidize it. I looked at the worried look of the old ancestor. It is also powerless. Instead, Aunt Xue lent us 5 taels of silver."
As Baoyu spoke, he secretly looked at Daiyu's expression. Seeing that there was no change in his expression, he continued to speak harder: "I heard Brother Xue say in a daze the day before yesterday that the original vendor of this garden sold it at a price of It is very high, so I am a little worried that Cousin Lin will be cheated by others. The money that Uncle Lin saved so hard will be wasted!"
Although Daiyu still had a smile on her face, there was a turmoil in her heart. These words were not like Baoyu would say at all.There must be someone entrusting her with an excuse. The meaning of these words is to warn her to be wary of her brother, or to imply that she should also send some silver taels for her mother-in-law like the Xue family.
Behind Daiyu, Muqing memorized Baoyu's words clearly.She naturally said that her daughter is sensitive, and she might not know where her thoughts have turned at this time.You should hurry up and discuss with Nanny Song and Sister Zijuan.
Daiyu asked: "Is there still a shortage of taels of silver now? I heard Yuan Qing said two days ago that the ground has already begun?" Baoyu nodded: "No, even if the taels of silver are insufficient, we must move, and we must not miss next year's mother-in-law. It's just that the Lixiang Courtyard and Luomei Courtyard have been enclosed and are being demolished, and Sister Feng has already asked Ping'er to pack up Sister Lin's belongings, saying they brought them to her in the past few days!"
"Then there's something important, it's just some small things! I'm going to visit my ancestors in the past few days!" Daiyu changed the topic, and chatted indiscriminately, Baoyu took Jin Chuan'er and The attacker went back.
After Daiyu returned to Yanyu Pavilion, she sat in the room in a daze.
And Zijuan, Qingwen, and Xueyan were all called into the room by Mu Qing, and went to a meeting.After hearing Mu Qing's words, Zijuan's face turned pale with anger: "I don't know who ordered Baoyu, how could he think of such things like he doesn't care about anything."
Qingwen also said bitterly: "You should dismiss it at that time, and let them be so rampant." Mu Qing pushed Qingwen: "I'm not you, I've been with that person all the time, besides, the girls are making trouble, I have no reason to rush."
Xueyan circled back and forth in the room: "Don't talk about this, in my opinion, we don't need to tell Nanny Song, it's useless to ask Nanny Song to advise the girl, we should just tell the uncle directly .Next time Master Bao comes again, just type it out!"
"You said that stupid thing again. Although we told the uncle for the sake of the girl, but as a big girl of the girl, if something happens, she doesn't listen to the girl's order and goes to the uncle directly. What does the girl think? This is not a good idea!" Zi Juan Shake your head.
"Then what do you think about this matter? We don't have time to think about it slowly. The girl has something on her mind at the moment. When I come to my senses, Xiuju will be alone in the room, and she will know what we are doing immediately." It's no wonder that Xueyan has followed Daiyu since she was a child, so she understands Daiyu's intelligence very well.
"Hey, it's too bad I went to check on the girl." Zijuan sighed heavily, and said to Xueyan and Qingwen: "You two, pretend that you don't know anything. So go tell the uncle!"
Although Qingwen nodded, she still said fiercely: "If you let me know who is giving Baoyu a wrong idea, I won't give her a good look!"
Zijuan returned to the inner room and saw that Daiyu was still looking thoughtful. Just as she was thinking about how to speak out, she heard Daiyu say: "Go and tell your brother, I'm going to have a look tomorrow." Ancestor, she is sick, so it’s shameless for me not to show up. You and Xiuju will go to Baicao Garden to find some high-quality medicinal materials and wrap them up, and bring them to the ancestor tomorrow. And Sister Teng has something for the elder sister You also bring the puppet you made, and let's send it to the eldest sister!"
Zijuan couldn't figure out what Daiyu was thinking at this time. Ordinarily, with Daiyu's temperament, it was impossible for her not to have any thoughts.But Daiyu didn't seem to be doing anything like this, so she smiled and said, "May I invite Miss Teng to go with me?"
"Forget it, Sister Teng doesn't like to go to that mansion, it's not like you don't know!" Daiyu said with a smile, "What's wrong today, why are you still confused?"
Zijuan said with a helpless smile: "It's not because of that attacker. I'll ask this one, and that one. In such a short period of time, she asked about all the decorations in our yard. If it wasn't for the snow geese following me, I would really faint!"
Daiyu couldn't help smiling, since she didn't believe that Zijuan could be fainted by the attacker's questioning, she must be joking because she saw that she was not in high spirits.
Naturally, Lin Haorui would not stop Daiyu from going to Jia's mansion. Just after breakfast the next day, Daiyu brought four maids, Zijuan, Qingwen, Xueyan, and Errong, to Jia's mansion. Er Rong went to visit Wang Xifeng, while she took Zijuan and Xueyan to Jiamu's yard.
In fact, Jia's mother has a little cold. After taking the medicine for two days, she has recovered a lot. At this time, she is joking with her granddaughters.Seeing Daiyu coming, she hurriedly waved: "Come on, Yu'er, you really miss me these days!"
"Great Ancestor!" Daiyu saluted with a smile, sat down beside Jia Mu, and coquettishly nestled into Jia Mu's arms: "Yesterday, I heard Baoyu talk about the old ancestor's illness, and I was very worried about it. How is the ancestor?"
"Okay, okay! Is it alright if you come to see me?" Mother Jia laughed from ear to ear.Tanchun covered his mouth and smiled: "The ancestor loves Sister Lin the most. We come to visit every day, but we have never heard such a thing from the ancestor!"
Jia Mu laughed and said, "The three girls are in the same pain. You also go to greet your wife first, and then come back to me for a joke!" The three Yingchun sisters were at Jia Mu's place early in the morning. Come out and say hello to the first wife and the second wife.
Seeing that Jiamu's spirit is still good, Daiyu is half relieved.Seeing that this place is rare and clean, I took out a few pieces of paper from my sleeve and put them in Mother Jia's hands: "This, I would like to ask my ancestors to pass it on to my uncle and aunt!"
Although Jia's mother vaguely felt that there must be a reason for Daiyu's visit at this time, she never expected that her sons and daughters-in-law would still reach out to Daiyu. They can't play Daiyu's idea.
Mother Jia looked down at the bank note, which was a total of 5 taels, which was the same amount as that of Xue's family, and she felt even more uncomfortable in her heart: "What are you doing, child, even if the family is short of money, you can't use your subsidy. Hurry up!" Take it back!"
Daiyu shook her head: "Father gave it to me alone, and it's useless for me to keep it. My ancestors took it first, and if they don't need it, uncles and aunts can't return it to me."
Jia's mother still shook her head: "You silly boy, even if you don't bring it, who can pick you? If Rui'er finds out, don't you blame you for making decisions?" Daiyu laughed and said, "How could brother blame me for this?" , It’s just that I think that my brother has already helped me worry a lot, so I won’t find anything for him anymore. My ancestors must keep it a secret for me!”
Zijuan and Xueyan stood aside and looked at each other regretfully, yesterday was the two of them last night, why didn't they find out when Daiyu touched the things in the small box.This money is personal money given to the girl by Mr. Lin, how could he be so squandered.
Zijuan narrowed her eyes slightly, while Xueyan directly hated Baoyu.
