Chapter 145 Daiyu suffers

Ps:

I conducted a survey and found that everyone prefers chapters of about [-] words, so Shangshang follows the good advice.If you have any ideas, please vote enthusiastically, or leave a message for Shangshang.

On the second day after Jiamu's birthday, Lin Haorui began to pack his luggage and prepare to leave for the south.

Although Daiyu has already lived in Jia's mansion, she still goes back to the herb garden during the day.At that time, Lin Haorui was explaining the family affairs to Steward Lin and Mrs. Lin in the Wangshan Pavilion. When she saw Daiyu come back, she said with a smile: "I knew my sister must be worried, and she was bound to come back once. I have something to tell my sister."

Daiyu generously sat next to Lin Haorui: "How long is brother going to go? Can you come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Lin Haorui handed some of the account books in his hand to Daiyu, and then said with a smile: "For the time being, let's talk No, if everything goes well, I will rush back before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Daiyu looked down at the account books on the table, some of which Daiyu had seen before, and some of which she had never seen before.Lin Haorui said with a smile: "This is all the belongings of our Lin family. The ones bound with red thread are the property left by my father, and the ones bound with white thread are your brother's and my private house. Now they are all left to my sister for safekeeping. There are more things about the family. Is Sister Lao bothering you?"

Daiyu looked at Lin Haorui in puzzlement, her small face tensed: "What is brother doing? Didn't he come back after going for a while?" Lin Haorui patted Daiyu's shoulder with a smile, and did not answer her directly. Instead, from the pile of account books, he took out a book bound with pink thread that looked new and handed it to Daiyu himself: "This is the vegetable greenhouse that my sister, sister Teng and sister Feng built together, although it is still in existence It's in the preparation stage, but in my opinion, the future is limitless, and my sister should take good care of it."

"Brother!" Daiyu frowned and called out loudly.

Only then did Lin Haorui sigh: "I will return after going there for a while, but at these times, I can't leave the whole house to Butler Lin. My sister is already grown up, and after next year I can start discussing marriage It is no longer enough to just learn how to read the gift list every day. During the few months I have been away, I have already explained that all expenses in our house must be approved by my sister. My sister will work harder. Experience it in advance."

"Brother, I don't care to learn these things." Daiyu pouted, and said to Lin Haorui coquettishly: "As long as my brother comes back earlier!" Lin Haorui was caught by Daiyu's words.He said it with affection in his heart, and patted Daiyu's forehead heartily, smiling all over his face.

Although Daiyu is not used to Lin Haorui leaving home.But still in the afternoon, calm down and listen to Lin Haorui's explanation one by one.Only now did Daiyu know how much her father had left for her, except for the ancestral home and fields in Yangzhou.There are still some Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Shangjing, and the income handed in by the Zhuangzi every year is very considerable.

And his elder brother Lin Haorui is even a small rich man. There are three shops in Yangzhou alone, and there is a book rental shop in Shangjing and an embroidery building under preparation.And Daiyu also found that there are many fields and Zhuangzi in the account book that were gently outlined with a pen, when she asked Lin Haorui in doubt.Lin Haorui smiled with an unfathomable face.Daiyu was still confused, but Zijuan and Qingwen, who were waiting on the sidelines, realized at the same time that it might be Daiyu's dowry.

The two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.I am very pleased with Lin Haorui's hard work.

On the sixth day of August in the seventh year of Hongzheng, Lin Haorui went down with Defu and Haidongnan, and the herb garden was mainly handed over to Steward Lin, Ding Daqiang and Zhou Chuan.The backyard is looked after by Aunt Lin.Ao Jian stayed in the herb garden as a very special identity.Yuan Qing and Bai An continued to be busy in the shops under Lin Haorui's management. These two are now the business experts of the Lin family.

And Daiyu, Tengman, and Xiang'er continued to live in Rongguo Mansion.Tease the eldest sister and the fat brother with Wang Xifeng every day.Every three days, Yuan Qing and Aunt Lin would come to Jia's mansion to report some family affairs to Daiyu.

Sometimes Daiyu would make decisions directly, and sometimes she would consult Nanny Song or even Wang Xifeng in private.Nanny Song often said, let Daiyu learn from Wang Xifeng in a good way.Daiyu lived a busy and rich life.

In the end, Lin Haorui couldn't make it back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the days passed quickly and silently. In the blink of an eye, it has entered the high and refreshing September.On this day, Jia Zheng took some Qing guests to the garden to inscribe couplets on plaques, but Baoyu just happened to sneak into the garden with Jin Chuan'er, Xi Ren, and a group of young men to play, and happened to be bumped into by Jia Zheng. .They were called to go to the garden together, but Jin Chuan'er and Xiren couldn't follow, so they went back to the house together.

Baoyu traveled with his father for half a day, and was tested for some knowledge, and wrote some couplets on the plaque.Those Qing people praised him to the sky, and Jia Zheng saw that his son was really a bit talented even though he was not good at writing, so he didn't look too angry.

Baoyu tasted the sweetness, and was in a happy mood for a while. When she left the garden, she ran straight to find Daiyu, and talked to Daiyu vividly about the plaque and couplets she had inscribed.

After a while, Xiren came to look for Baoyu. Seeing that Baoyu had no purse or jade pendant, he couldn't help complaining: "All the pendants on your body have been taken off by those shameless things. I vaguely remember that you are carrying Shi Shi today." Miss Shi embroidered the purse for you, let’s see how you will explain to Miss Shi when Miss Shi arrives."

Baoyu said indifferently: "Sister Yun doesn't care about these things. I still have the purse she gave me. I will find it tomorrow and bring it."

Sitting at the table, Daiyu tilted her head to watch the interaction between the master and the servant, and smiled with her lips pursed: "Look at your carelessness, if you want our embroidery work again in the future, it's absolutely impossible. .”

Tenman was reading a book at the side, when he heard Daiyu's words, he suddenly thought of the original book, at this time Daiyu and Baoyu would have a small quarrel.There is a saying that quarrels are the sublimation of feelings. In the original book, Daiyu and Baoyu confirmed each other's sincerity through the quarrel.Looking at the situation at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to quarrel.I don't know if Daiyu will fall in love with Baoyu in the end. Although Tenman knows that Baoyu is not a good match, but out of obsession with the original work, she always puts Daiyu and Baoyu together inadvertently.

"What is Sister Teng thinking about? She is so lost in thought!" Daiyu's laughing words interrupted Tenman's contemplation. Then Tenman came to his senses and saw that Baoyu was no longer in the room. ?”

Daiyu burst out laughing: "Sister Teng is really confused. Baoyu has already gone to the ancestor's place, and he said to go to Aunt Xue's to say hello later. Do you want to go with Sister Teng?"

Although Tenman is very interested in the daughters in Jia's mansion, but for some reason, he is sleepy and doesn't want to move anywhere.Daiyu smiled unfathomably, and stretched out her hand to Rattenman: "Let's go together, even if sister Teng sees a hole in the table of eight immortals, brother will not come back immediately."

When Daiyu said this, Tenman raised his head abruptly, and looked at Daiyu pretending to be angry.All the girls in the room secretly smiled.Just as Qingwen was about to say something, she saw Xueyan and Zhitao coming back from the outside quickly, and everyone in the room was smiling strangely.Can't help asking strangely: "Is there anything about Coke? Could it be that I missed something?"

Daiyu smiled: "Where is there anything to be happy about? Have you done what you have been told?" Xueyan stopped joking and replied seriously: "The girl's words are already done. I I went to Yang's Mansion with Madam Chen and met Ms. Yang. Ms. Yang said let me thank you and Ms. Teng for thinking of her. Zhitao and Madam Cao went to Grandma Liu's place."

At this moment, Zhitao took over the words: "Girl, the shed has already been built, and it's at the village head of Grandma Liu's house. Grandma Liu and her daughter and son-in-law have built three tile-roofed houses in front of the field, and guard them day and night. .”

Tenman was still very interested in this question and asked, "What did you plant this crop?"

Zhitao answered clearly: "Grandma Liu said that the first crop should be small and medium-sized cucumbers and spinach, and said that we should wait until winter. We will be able to eat fresh vegetables. I have already told Grandma Liu what the uncle and the girls mean. Let’s say that we didn’t try to make money in the past two years, as long as we have enough to eat. But I see that Grandma Liu and her son-in-law are very confident.”

Tenman smiled from the sidelines.Said to Daiyu: "Let's talk to Sister Feng one day, how about going to have a look? I'm always bored at home, almost moldy!" Daiyu chuckled: "Even if Sister Teng went to Grandma Liu, she still doesn't care about her. It will be stuffy and musty."

"You poor-mouthed girl, watch how I deal with you!" Tenman laughed and went to trouble Daiyu.The laughing Daiyu was out of breath.

When Baoyu came in with Jin Chuan'er and Xiren, he saw such a scene.Looking at Daiyu's smiling face like a flower.Baoyu couldn't help being infatuated, and felt that it had been a long, long time since she had seen Daiyu's smile, nor had she felt this way for a long, long time.

Standing beside Baoyu, Xiren's expression darkened slightly, but he immediately covered it up and smiled as if he had just come in: "What are you two girls laughing about? They are in such a good mood!" Daiyu stopped when she saw Baoyu coming in. Liao and Tenman laughed and said, "Didn't you say to visit Sister Bao later, why are you here again?"

"Come to see you and Sister Teng, otherwise you may not know how long you will be delayed!" Baoyu smiled, and glanced at Daiyu and Tengman: "Let's go, I have already asked Mingyan to go to the restaurant outside to make a reservation." Vegetarian dishes on the table, let's bother Sister Bao when the time comes."

Daiyu didn't have any objections, so she took Tenman and went to the small courtyard where Baochai now lived.It happened that Yingchun Tanchun was also here, and I saw that Aunt Xue was very busy here. At one moment, the woman in charge came to collect the clothes and cloth, and at another moment, there was a girl talking back and forth.Baochai saw that it was really a mess, so he hurriedly said, "Let's play somewhere else first, lest we can't talk well here."

Baoyu laughed and said, "It's very true. The yard next door is very good. Let's go and sit down for a while. Dinner is also served there, so I won't bother Auntie." Aunt Xue laughed and said, "I'll disturb you there , just stay in this courtyard. The courtyard next to it is close to the garden, it must be very chaotic at this time!" Then he sent the girl out to spread the word, saying that he had a headache, so let's leave it for now if there is anything to do.

Only then did Baoyu and others stay happily, talking about poetry and painting, and they were very unhappy.When the girls heard Baoyu talk about the beauty of the family-saving villa, they all wanted to go and have a look.Tanchun smiled and looked at Daiyu: "Sister Lin, listen, how does this garden compare to Sister Lin's house?"

Daiyu smiled: "It's incomparable. This is for the empress to watch. How can our garden compare!" But Baoyu shook her head: "I really think that the garden of Sister Lin's house is better. It’s good, but it’s a little too crowded.”

Baochai pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know when Brother Bao has studied gardening." Baoyu smiled shyly: "Of course I have read too much, so I understand!" Several people were happily saying While talking, the mothers-in-law and girls were also standing or sitting outside the house, chatting happily.

today.Zijuan and Xueyan followed Daiyu to wait inside the house, while Qingwen looked at her handkerchief outside the corridor, whispering tricks with Muqing.Xiren looked at it boredly, and saw that the pattern on the handkerchief was very pleasing, so he laughed and said, "Qingwen's hands are getting more and more skillful, and someday I should make a few more handkerchiefs for Baoyu." yes."

"Sister Xiren was joking. You and Sheyue are responsible for Baoyu's embroidery work. Usually, Miss Yun and Miss Bao are there to help. When will we need to do it? Besides, I have a thick needle and a large size. How can you get into Baoyu's eyes!" Qingwen said with a smile, and the attackers teased her: "You girl is getting sharper and sharper. It's just for you to embroider square handkerchiefs, so how can you talk so much?"

Qingwen swept Xiren's hand away: "I can't compare to sister Xiren, I'm just a girl, how can I make up my mind for the master." Xiren was a little embarrassed, even Mu Qing glanced at Qingwen.No interruptions.

How can Xiren fail to hear the sting in Qingwen's words, but Qingwen is not forgiving on weekdays, and she is used to it.It happened that a new little girl who came with Xiren today was sent by Jiamu to Baoyu's house because of her good birth.Baoyu also likes beautiful women, and treats her kindly.The little girl's name is Yue'er.Because of Baoyu's face, many people can't help being kind to her, so that they look a little proud of their favor.

At this time, I heard Qingwen say so about attacking people.She actually took a step forward and scolded without hesitation: "Where did you come from, little whore, you are so indiscreet, you are just a girl who is borrowed, and you are so presumptuous when talking to our sister Xiren..." That Yue'er's words were still Not finished yelling.I just felt a hot slap on the face.Can't help looking at Qingwen angrily, it's true that this slap was exactly Qingwen's.She was looking at Xiren sternly and shouted: "It's thanks to my sister who rushed to take out such an unappealing thing, why don't you hurry up and send it away!"

Xiren didn't want to take care of these things, and he regarded himself as a good old man.At this time, Qingwen was busy pulling Qingwen: "She is just a little girl, why should you be as knowledgeable as her." Don't blame me if you dare to let it go!"

When Yue'er saw that Xiren seemed to be on her side, and relying on Baoyu to like her all the time, not only did she not lose her arrogance, but she became even more aroused.The voice became even louder: "Where did I say something wrong, I am just a guest, so can I be more honored than the master?"

Seeing this, Xiren hurriedly pulled Yue'er: "Let's just say a few words, what kind of guest is not a guest, people will listen to the joke!"

Nayue'er pretended to cry loudly: "Sister Xiren, is this strange? I just drew my sword to help when I saw injustice. It is Sister Xiren who is so weak that she is bullied by such a shameless little whore. According to me Look, I went back to Baoyu early, and beat them out with sticks."

Qingwen's face turned pale with anger, and she was about to speak, but was pulled back by Mu Qing: "Yo, this is really the first time I've heard, when will our big girl listen to a third-class girl? What is Sister Xiren still protecting? Could it be that we really have to wait until we get back the girl before we can get out."

"You go back! You go back! You girls are only second-class masters, when will you be the master of our Rongguo Mansion!" Yue'er shouted recklessly.The attacker no longer held Yue'er, but stood aside with a sullen face.

Qingwen couldn't bear it anymore, she took a few steps forward and slapped Na Yue'er twice, cursing angrily: "It's really lawless, our girl, you dare to arrange it. Let me tell you, our girl is a serious person in the Rongguo Mansion." In the old lady’s heart, I don’t think you are any worse than Second Master Bao, how can you allow a little girl like you to talk nonsense and ruin our girl’s reputation.” As he spoke, he rushed outside and shouted: “Nurse Zhang, will you Pull this girl out and let Guanshi Ding severely beat her fifty times, if she is beaten to death, forget it, if she is not killed, she will be thrown on the street to be fed to the dogs!"

That nanny Zhang was originally the second-class nanny of the Lin family, this time she went to Jia's mansion with several nanny to serve Daiyu.They had never seen Daiyu suffer such grievances, and when they heard Qingwen's words, they couldn't help but go forward to pull Yue'er.That Yue'er obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, and she still cursed dirtyly.Seeing that the attacker was silent all the time, I was a little scared. In a blink of an eye, when Baoyu and others heard the movement, they shouted loudly: "Baoyu, save me. This girl is rebellious and dares to arrest me!" "

Baoyu and the others had already heard it clearly in the room, even if he spared Yue'er's life intentionally, after seeing Daiyu's half-smile face again, he suppressed the words that were about to blurt out.

Qingwen was not forgiving, and looked at Baoyu sarcastically: "What? Does Second Master Bao think that Qingwen has been treated unfairly?"

Before Baoyu could speak, Tanchun said angrily: "In my opinion, it was handled very well. Our innocent family was harmed by such a girl. Sister Lin heard the whole story with us. If it is spread by outsiders, our Rongguo Mansion really don't want to be human."

Daiyu smiled: "Sister Tanchun, why bother to be angry?" Then she held Zijuan's hand and looked at Baochai: "I'm not in the mood to eat after all this commotion. I'm going back now, tomorrow See you again, Sister Bao!"

"Sister Lin, let's go!" Baochai didn't seem to notice the dispute in the courtyard, and didn't say anything to persuade her or stop her.

Only then did Daiyu take Tenman's hand, and they walked out of Baochai's courtyard together.After the two of them huffed and followed seven or eight girls, they walked out together.Zijuan took a look at Yue'er, her eyes were as cold as ice, and seeing Yue'er shivered violently.Only then did Zijuan look at Qingwen: "Why did you let Guan Ding offend this girl? It's just dirty our hands. Let's leave it here and leave it to Master Bao to deal with it. Let's see, is this girl really a good girl?" What is it?"

Then Qingwen snorted and gave Baoyu a hard look. Then she and Zijuan caught up with Daiyu's team and went back to Wang Xifeng's small courtyard.Baoyu took two steps forward with a worried look on his face.

Jin Chuan'er quietly grabbed Baoyu and shook his head at him.Yue'er was still crying, crying to Baoyu with snot and tears, but for some reason, Baoyu felt that Yue'er was ugly, so he shook his hand and left.

Jin Chuan'er glanced back at Yue'er, then at Xiren, then quickly caught up with Baoyu, and gently held his hand.
