Chapter 10 The Red Chamber (10)
&1t;script>Red Building 1o
Lin Daiyu sat on the boat, looking at the river water, and what flashed through her mind was the change in her attitude towards the Jia family when she saw her off. Not only were the servants respectful and flattering, but also the masters had a lot of things in their smiles. The eldest sister-in-law no longer had the bitter face to keep others away, but the second sister-in-law actually had a bit of sincerity in her conversation and laughter.
She was a smart person, but she just didn't want to think deeper.
The boat is not moving quickly, and although the scenery on both sides of the strait is depressed, if a person is in a good mood, he will have a sense of beauty when he sees everything.
Zijuan whispered: "Miss, the wind on the river is hard, so it's better to close the windows. If the wind blows for a while, it's not good."
Daiyu smiled and said, "It's fine in the past. Now, it's not."
Below is a wolf-skinned mattress, a buckle wrapped in mink, a hand stove in his arms, a deer-skinned boots under his feet, and a brazier next to it. The silver frost and charcoal inside is burning red. The window is half open, which is just breathable.
Zijuan took out the rose dew brought out by the Jia family, "Or else add half a cup to the girl."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xueyan came in with a plate. Half a bowl of bright red fruit juice was served in the green jade bowl on the plate. "Miss try this. The newly squeezed pomegranate juice from the nannies."
When she was about to go back to the Lin family, Xueyan felt that the sky was blue and the water was clear. With the Lin family, her waist was hard. Seeing Zijuan holding half a bottle of rose dew in a small glass bottle, she smiled and said, "This is given by Sister Xiren. I just saw that the little girl in Baoyu's house had divided the whole bottle. Why did it come to us and it was left to others?"
Zijuan blushed and said, "There is nothing left. I don't know if anyone has just gone out."
"This thing is not worth it." Xue Yan smiled and said, "There are several bottles under the kitchen now. There are rose dew, chrysanthemum dew, plum dew, lotus dew. There are flowers in all seasons, and there are also some fruit dew. However, the eldest girl at home reminded me that no matter how good these things look, they are all things for the future. After a few hands, I didn't know that they were not allowed to eat these for our girls. Just let them carry fresh fruits, whether they are eaten or juiced. This pomegranate juice was made of the tribute pomegranate specially transported from Chang'an. They were bright red, and they were all over one pound. They were peeled and squeezed out finely."
Zijuan's face changed. The manpower and material resources he had spent could not buy much rose dew.
Daiyu took a sip and smiled, "It's very sweet. It's just too much."
Xueyan leaned close to Daiyu and whispered: "There are still baskets of pears, with apples and various fresh vegetables in the jar. Is it very attentive? It's better to go home."
Daiyu agreed very much. Since the family came, she has never been unhappy and has served her everywhere properly and thoughtfully.
In the Jia family, I am not the serious master. If I have to be kind to myself one or two points, I have to accept the affection of others.
Jia Lian sent Lin Daiyu on this trip and got on the boat, and realized that he might be a country bumpkin.
The boat is just looking at ordinary official boats. However, the furnishings and arrangements inside are all respected by salt merchants. How can it be bad?
He couldn't even feel that it was on the boat, on the journey.
When I arrived in Yangzhou, I had no slight contempt at all.
As soon as the boat landed, a servant in Qingyi carried the warm sedan chair and got on the boat. Not only Jia Lian was stunned, but Lin Daiyu was also stunned. After leaving the cabin, he got on the warm sedan chair and didn't blow the wind at all.
Jia Lian got off the boat with the sedan chair, and then he saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing on the dock. He was the old man who had been recognized by the Lin family.
Lin Yuyang had seen Jia Lian for a long time, and he had no big difference in his mind by matching the person described by his sister. So he walked over with a smile and bowed, "This is Mr. Lian. Please come and send your sister back. It's really hard."
Jia Lian saw the boy's every move, showing his nobleness, and he looked a little vulgar. He immediately smiled and said, "I'm too polite, so I just called my second cousin. I can't talk about hard work when I send Sister Lin back. On the contrary, I was taken care of along the way and happened to see different scenery. I should thank my cousin."
Lin Yuyang laughed: "There are scenery everywhere in Yangzhou, and another day I will ask someone to take my cousin to take a look around."
"What, can't my cousin be with you?" Jia Lian complained pretending to be.
"My father is urging me to study, how dare I wander around? Cousin, don't harm me." Lin Yuyang looked scared and thought to himself, I'll be fine if I come out with you, but if my elder sister knows, I will break my legs.
Jia Lian laughed with the same feeling. Lin Yuyang asked him to get on the carriage, and then turned to Lin Daiyu's sedan chair.
Lin Daiyu had just looked out from the small window of the sedan chair. This brother was completely different from what he imagined.
It is said that Baoyu is a rare talent. Now compared with his brother, it seems that his brother is a standing poplar, and Baoyu has become an orchid in a greenhouse.
It's different at all.
The sedan chair was parked beside the carriage, and Lin Yuyang stood outside the sedan chair, "Little sister, please change the carriage. My father is waiting in the mansion."
Zijuan stood next to the sedan chair and looked at the old man of the Lin family, and his face turned red. They grew up in the Jia family, and they had seen either men from the Jia family or slaves from the Jia family. Compared with other people in the Jia family, Jia Baoyu was not Zhilan Yushu, which was excellent.
But now when I got outside, there were really many good men. The old man from the Lin family is more popular than Baoyu.
Daiyu came out of the sedan chair and was about to salute Lin Yuyang. Lin Yuyang stopped him, "I'm not an outsider, so I have to be polite. The wind is strong by the river, get on the carriage."
The nannies helped Daiyu into the carriage, and Lin Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief. He got used to being with his sister and preferred a girl who was more flirtatious. Seeing his sister's delicateness, he surrendered first. It was difficult to deal with.
Lin Daiyu felt very comfortable. The sedan chair was warm, and the carriage seemed to be moving in the boudoir, even preparing to get out the tribute bucket.
Zijuan just thought the Jia family was good anymore and couldn't speak at this time.
Lin Ruhai sat in the hall and walked back and forth. He was anxious.
Lin Yutong felt sorry for her younger brother. The weather was cold and cold, and it was not freezing on the dock. Seeing Lin Ruhai looking forward to Lin Daiyu so much, she suppressed the feelings that had arisen during this period. Just as she had imagined, what she had recognized afterwards was different from what she raised herself.
Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with his eldest daughter's arrangement this time. Although he felt a little knotted with his wife, as the eldest sister, it is really commendable to be able to arrange it for Daiyu.
When it comes to three children, he really doesn't realize that he is biased against one of his own.
He relies heavily on his eldest daughter. In his heart, this child is the one who can replace him and entrust big things.
He has high hopes for his son and his only son, and the Lin family's hope lies with him alone.
He loves his little daughter. This child is born a little weaker than others.
Butler Lin looked at the master and the eldest girl. He wished he could pull the master's sleeve immediately and tell him that such a look was easily misunderstood.
Lin Yutong was fainted by Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu finally came back.
The father and daughter met with tears and cried, which made Lin Yutong feel a little more bored.
Jia Lian gave it to Butler Lin to settle it. She herself took her brother to her brother's yard to make room for the father and daughter to speak. Or rather, she didn't want to see the other person's greasy spirit.
Since Lin Daiyu entered the door, there was no one else in Lin Ruhai's eyes. This made Lin Yuyang feel a little disappointed, and he also felt at ease. At least, he did not trust this father 100%.
Lin Yutong knew that children who grew up like their younger brother were wary of others. Few people could get into his heart. What happened today would have more or less, and they always had some impact on him.
"Drink the ginger soup soon." Lin Yutong urged when she saw her younger brother change his clothes.
Lin Yuyang felt warm in his heart. No matter when the elder sister was there, this was enough. People! They just can't be too greedy.
The siblings were talking in unison, and no one mentioned Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu and his daughter.
In the main hall, Lin Ruhai finally calmed down and remembered to introduce another pair of children to Daiyu. Then he realized that the two children were gone.
Butler Lin had already placed Jia Lian. When he came back, the father and daughter were still excited. He didn't disturb him. But he knew in his heart that Master today had annoyed that aunt.
"What about the big girl?" Lin Ruhai was a little puzzled and asked to Butler Lin.
Butler Lin didn't go to invite Lin Yutong. With this guy's temper, he didn't want to be pushed back with an old face. He smiled and said, "The eldest girl didn't ask anyone to disturb the master and the second girl, so she stepped down."
Lin Ruhai was stunned. This was completely an answer. What does it mean to disturb them?
Thinking of this, he had a little more enlightenment. He slapped his thigh and said that it was really inappropriate to make a fuss.
What Lin Daiyu learned the most in the Jia family is probably because she was observing her expressions. Seeing that her father's expression was wrong, she couldn't help but guess whether it was because her elder sister didn't like me coming back.
When I thought of this possibility, I felt uncomfortable and my tears couldn't help but fall back.
Lin Ruhai felt distressed, but Butler Lin was shocked.
I just came back and had nothing to do, and I could cry like this. When did my own girl become like this? Moreover, there are so many people in the Lin family who have accompanied her all the way back. Don’t she know that the master’s health has not recovered yet? Why can’t she control her emotions?
