The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

For the first time, Lin Daiyu felt the benefits of doing whatever she wanted. This feeling is like a bird that has been imprisoned for a long time finally realizes that the door of the bird cage is only ajar, and it is no longer indestructible as it has always been thought. Stretch your head out, fly out, and eat the sweet fruit on the vine that you have been longing for.

Lin Daiyu hummed a lively and playful Jiangnan ditty, with a pair of small dimples, which made her look lively and playful, very agile.Chunjing had never seen her master have such a big emotional gap, she was sure that Lin Daiyu's eyes were red before, but now she is extremely happy.

Chunjing didn't understand why her girl was like this, and she didn't dare to ask, it was enough for the girl to be happy now.

Lin Daiyu first went to Jinyi Pavilion, and Sun Xin saw that the young man driving the carriage belonged to the Lin family, and had already been waiting respectfully at the door.Now that the weather is getting warmer, not many people buy down jackets anymore, so there are not many customers in Jinyi Pavilion.

Lin Daiyu didn't wear a veiled hat. The Han people here have many constraints on the women in the boudoir, but the Manchus don't care about it.

After making money, Jinyi Pavilion has renovated its facade, making it look more spacious and bright.The first floor sells ready-made clothes, and the second floor makes orders. Sun Xin led Lin Daiyu to go to the private seat on the third floor, but Lin Daiyu said no, she would not stay longer.

Sun Xin said with a smile: "It's so easy for the girl to come here, and don't look at the clothes, how many new clothes can I make?"

Lin Daiyu said: "I have enough clothes to wear. Besides, I haven't been filial piety yet, so let's do this first." Although it's only been more than a month since filial piety, she thought about her dead mother, so she didn't dare to be frivolous.

Sun Xin hurriedly said, "It's because the slave didn't think about what he said."

"It's okay."

Sun Xin led Lin Daiyu to a small room in the backyard where the accounts were settled. Lin Daiyu gave Sun Xin the box with the title deed, and asked him to send the money to the old Lin family's house at another time, and Sun Xin repeatedly agreed.

Lin Daiyu said: "I'm just running errands when I have nothing to do. Now that the matter is over, I'm leaving."

Sun Xin hurriedly said: "The girl went out alone? The servant asked Chen Daniu and his brothers to take you back home?"

Lin Daiyu said: "No need, I just went out and want to go to the reading library."

Sun Dao said: "Then you have to find two reliable servants to follow, otherwise if the second master finds out, you will have to skin the servants."

Lin Daiyu wanted to say that she had brought the boy out, but she swallowed the words again.Sun Xin was just worried about her, it had nothing to do with how many people he brought out.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's answer, Sun Xin hurriedly opened the curtain and went out, shouting, "Chen Daniu, Chen Erniu!"

Two strong men like iron towers hurriedly responded and walked towards Sun Xin, followed by a bunch of noisy children, big and small.

Brother Chen Daniu walked over in a few steps, Sun Xin hurriedly said: "Don't go here recklessly, what will you say if you bump into the girl?"

Brother Chen Daniu had already seen the bright colors in the room through the crack of the curtain, he hurriedly knelt down to greet the girl.

Lin Daiyu came out of the house, and said with a smile: "It's all from my family, there is no conflict." She untied a purse from her waist, took out the caramel in it, and handed it to the four or five children one by one.

Chunjing hurriedly touched himself, and found that he didn't have candy on him, and it was too late to get it in the carriage. The girl in her family probably had candy on her body to coax the third master.Sun Xin wanted to stop him, but Chunjing stopped him with his eyes.

Chen Daniu mumbled: "The kids at home are naughty, don't get the girl dirty."

Lin Daiyu smiled, and took out a handkerchief to help the youngest boy wipe the tears and snot from his face: "I have the youngest youngest brother in my family. After taking him for a long time, I can't see children crying. When he cries, he panics." Ask: "How old is this kid? It looks really strong."

Chen Erniu hurriedly replied: "He's a boy from the servant's family. He's three years old and hasn't got a proper name yet." Everyone in his family called him shitball. Although Chen Erniu was not smart, he knew he couldn't say his name dirty the girl's ears.

Sun Xin hurriedly said: "Today he was lucky enough to meet the girl. If the girl doesn't dislike her, please give him a name."

The child stared at Lin Daiyu's purse without saying a word. He was only one year older than the tree slave, but he was dark and strong. His cheeks were cracked and peeled by the north wind, as were his hands.Lin Daiyu patted the dirt on his body, thinking that if her father had once lost power, if the fourth master hadn't found out what happened in Yangzhou last time, her younger brother might be worse off than this child.

"I'm young, so if you don't mind, I'll give him one." Chen Erniu hurriedly said he didn't mind, and Lin Daiyu smiled and said to the child, "I'll give you the word 'Shou'." , Chen Shou, would you like to come with me? I have a brother who is about the same age as you, you can play with him." She had long wanted to find a playmate of the same age for the tree slave who had excess energy, but there was no such thing as a house slave. The same age, I met today, and in the future when the tree slave grows up, there will be someone who knows the basics and can use it.

The child named "Chen Shou" was ignorant. He didn't know that he was lucky enough to be given the mission to accompany the master's young master. He simply thought that the woman in front of him was fair and beautiful, and would give her some sweet candies, so he nodded. .

"it is good."

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised. Children from ordinary families are afraid of strangers and rarely speak to strangers. This child is quite courageous.Stretch out your hand: "Farewell to your father."

Chen Shou rubbed his dirty little hands on the jacket, then carefully put them into Lin Daiyu's palms, raised his lips and smiled at Chen Erniu: "Father, uncle, brother, sister, I'm leaving."

The youngest son has a future, and Chen Erniu's heroic heart is also quite touched.In the past, the world was difficult, he was a nine-foot man, and he could barely support his parents, wife and children. Now the time has finally turned, and he must not forget his roots in life. He always remembers who pulled him out of the predicament.

Lin Daiyu took Chen Shou's little hand and got into the carriage again, and ordered the driver to go to the reading library.

Lin Daiyu touched Chen Shou's face carefully, and asked him: "Although this crack is a small injury, it still hurts. How could your parents be so careless?"

Chen Shou only said that it didn't hurt, and ate a mouthful of dim sum fruits with a smile. Chunjing kept telling him to eat slowly.

Both the Reading Library and the Jinyi Pavilion belonged to Lin Qiong, so there was a strangely shaped sign on the plaque hanging at the door.The reading library is next to a bookstore that is also owned by Lin Qiong, but this bookstore is obviously an addition, and it is not as beautiful and grand as the reading library in terms of layout and repair.

The reading hall is also very grand and magnificent, with three identical shops connected, and a vulgar couplet at the door, which reads "Everyone can enter from the north, south, east and west", and the bottom reads "All comers, men, women and children are welcome", and horizontally criticizes " Free", this pair of calligraphy and painting of couplets is delicate and beautiful, very beautiful, it is imitation of Mrs. Ziwei's calligraphy.Obviously, the owner of the reading hall is extremely informal. He bluntly stated that he is a feminist. Both men and women can enter to read books, and it is free, which has to be raised eyebrows.

Except for the fourth floor, which is said to be full of orphan books, the other three floors in the reading library are open to the public and free of charge. They are arranged in different categories and placed on the bookshelves. Looking at the rows and rows from the door, the bookshelves are also high, almost enough. When we reach the roof, sometimes we have to step on a ladder to find a book—this is what Lin Qiong wants.As long as the books are not damaged, no matter you are a scholar or a peddler, you can read books here.

The most attractive thing is that the books here are extremely comprehensive and rich, ranging from the most respected principles of Confucianism to Legalism, Taoism, Mohism, Yin-Yangism, Strategists, etc. There is also a whole floor specially dedicated to storing books on art and western literature.Moreover, Lin Qiong also sent people to continuously collect books to fill the place, and even posted a book collection notice at the door, the empty bookshelves were constantly being filled, and the space for tables and chairs for reading books was constantly shrinking.

The brown bookshelves, the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists hanging on the wall randomly, and the aroma of ink filling the nose all make people feel awe of this place, and they dare not even speak loudly.

The reading hall was built in a timely manner, and it opened in the first spring, which provided great convenience for those who came to Beijing for the exam this year, and also made the reading hall famous in Beijing in just two or three months. The owner of the museum has won a great reputation.

Lin Daiyu pulled Chen Shou out of the carriage, ordered the servants to wait outside the door, and then walked into the reading hall, and the atmosphere inside was immediately attracted.
