In the other room, Mother Xin was talking to Mo Ge'er, and Mo Ge'er was sulking: "That Guitou Liu is the most annoying, and now the girls let her sleep at night, and they don't call me anymore!"

Mother Xin laughed and said: "You are a little heartless, the girl feels sorry for you when you are young. It is the time to grow up. If you don't sleep well at night, you may not grow up in the future. Gui Liu knows kung fu and only meditates at night. Don’t need to lie down, isn’t that just right? It’s also more vigilant than us.”

How could Mo Ge'er not know this, it's just that she had been at odds with Guiliu from the beginning, and said again: "That silly little girl, who doesn't know anything, is used to talking strange things, but she has a stupid personality. It’s all about strength. Is it very good to fly over eaves and walls? Hmph!”

Nanny Xin shook her head and said, "You have always been the smartest and safest among the group of people, but now that you've been with the girl for a long time, you've come back to life more and more! I see that Xiao Liu'er is doing well in everything, a simple-hearted person but clever, Although she doesn't know much about world affairs, presumably it's because she has been locked up there all year round to practice kung fu. If not, do you think she can have such skill at her age?"

After hearing this, Mo Ge'er thought of something else and said: "I said that the wife of the mansion came to pick up the girl in person today. It is reasonable to say that the girl is a junior. In the past, sending a sister-in-law like that was a serious consideration. Now This way, it's a bit abnormal to be a demon."

Nanny Xin nodded and smiled, "It's only at this time that you came back smart."

Mo Ge'er continued: "When I was in the mansion, I thought this lady was stubborn, and she was just trying to save face to the girls. Why did she suddenly value our girls so much now? She didn't even care about her dignity and came here in person. Look, she is the most respectful person on weekdays."

Sister Xin put her smile back and nodded, "I've been thinking about it all night, so I can guess three to five points now."

Mo Ge'er hurriedly asked, and Mother Xin replied: "When we were in that mansion, we probably knew the current situation in that mansion. Suddenly, there was a noble concubine, and the emperor issued an order to allow concubines to visit relatives." The decree comes. If only one is approved, it’s fine. It’s all approved, but why don’t a group of Hulala want to build family-saving villas? You have to compare each other, but it also involves the position. Now there are more than one What about a noble concubine. Do you think that the family-friendly villa in the mansion has to be built like a fairyland with all the effort? The hand is not so loose.

I looked at it, and this one should be the most important thing.As for our girl, the master's whereabouts are unknown, a girl's family guarding such a large family property, wouldn't it be like a child standing in a busy city with a big ingot in his arms?It's really hard not to miss it.When the uncle and wife come back, one of the reasons is that they really want to get close to the girl so that they can take over and live there--can the girl send someone to watch the things that follow the girl into the house every day?After entering someone else's library, when will I come out again!

Another one, I'm afraid I don't know what happened to our family.Walking along the way, his face didn't move at all, but when he looked at the girl's embroidered building from a distance, his expression changed, presumably it had something to do with the row of glazed windows.These things that are available in the market today are the best value. The embroidered building alone is inlaid with tens of thousands of taels of colored glaze. Doesn't the uncle and wife know it by heart? "

Mo Ge'er clapped her hands together and said, "Mother, it's only three or five points. I think it's almost the same! Fortunately, I thought maybe they thought about the master and turned the wind direction upwards."

Nanny Xin shook her head and said, "My uncle and wife are very temperamental, but they don't have that kind of vision. If the mansion says they can see this step, then the old lady is still half-possible. It's just that the old lady is old Already tall, and in the backyard, news about the affairs of the previous dynasty is rare, so I'm afraid I can't think about this step. Besides, even if the old lady thinks about this, she can't control her uncle and wife. The uncle and wife only believe what she believes. People, people she doesn't believe even if they throw things on the tip of her nose, she still won't recognize them. What's more, the imperial concubine is in full swing, and the old lady may not be able to hold her back. After all, the mother and grandmother are separated by a distance. layer."

After hearing this, Mo Ge'er hurriedly looked for the account book in the cabinet, she said: "Since this is the case, we can't make it easy for them, mother, let's see quickly, what things can we bring with us this time?"

Sister Xin smiled and said, "It's too late for us to worry about these things. Naturally, the master will make arrangements early in the morning."

Mo Ge'er smiled and said, "Huh? Now the nanny also calls you Master, instead of Master Lin?"

Nanny Xin smiled and said nothing, Mo Ge'er knew that Lin Ruhai had predicted the enemy first, felt at ease, and said with a smile: "Ha, now I want to see how they can plot against us! Don't go in. It is really unexpected that there is such a high-sounding and shameless person."

Another day later, when Daiyu had breakfast at home, she heard the news that the grandma of the Rongguo Mansion had come. Seeing that Li Wan had brought Biyue Suyun and Madam Chang and Mammy Yan in together, Daiyu hurriedly got up to greet Li Wan. Wan laughed and said, "It's not advisable to move after eating, move to another place and let's drink tea before leaving."

Daiyu smiled, and the two went to the waterside pavilion to sit and drink tea. Aunt Xin and the others went over the things they had packed yesterday.I don't know what Daiyu and Li Wan were talking about there. When they came out holding hands, the chariots and horses were all ready. Madam Xin waited on Daiyu to go in and change her clothes, while Li Wan sat outside.Seeing that GUI Liu was still dressed in homely clothes, she asked her, "I heard from Sister Lin that you won't go to the mansion with her?"

Gui Liu nodded: "Young lady said that there are fixed numbers of houses there, and there are already more servants around the young lady than other people. I might cause trouble if I go again."

Li Wan nodded and said: "It's good for you to stay here, if you can help the guards. And there are fewer people here, it's more comfortable." Then he asked her, "I heard from your girl, do you still like to drink that needle tea?"

Gui Liu nodded honestly: "Everything around here is tasteless, I can eat it or not." Li Wan smiled, took out a purse from his sleeve, handed it to her, and said, "Well, you should follow your family carefully now. Girl, it will benefit you to take good care of her. Here, this is for you. "

Gui Liu took it hesitantly, but seeing that there was no one else around, she grinned at Li Wan and opened the purse to look, but it was full of "Mu Ling Dan", which nourished the soul most, and was very happy. Not from ear to ear, she said directly to Li Wan: "Don't worry, grandma, the slave will definitely protect our girl and make our girl happy."

Li Wan couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that you all think about things like this, which is interesting." After speaking, Daiyu had changed her clothes and came out, and everyone followed them all the way to the second gate. Li Wan took Daiyu with him, and Yu The participants also got into their sedan chairs, followed by three large carts bearing the hidden logo of the Lin Mansion, carrying the things Daiyu brought with her this time when she entered the mansion.

When they arrived at the mansion, the sisters met each other without mentioning it, and Mother Jia even hugged Daiyu in her arms and said: "What a heartless girl, and people invite you over and over again! We are thinking about you every day. You have thrown us into the country of Java!"

Daiyu's eyes were also red, and she forced a smile and said: "My ancestors, please forgive me this time. I wanted to wait for the court to have an explanation before coming to pay my respects to my ancestors. I didn't know that I have waited until now, and there is still nothing. In a word, my aunt came to see my niece in person again, and I thought it would be impossible to wait so long, so I came here with a thick skin, the old ancestors and uncles and aunts don’t think that my family is messed up, but they love me.”

When Jiamu heard her mention Lin Ruhai's matter, it was inconvenient for her to talk about it deeply, and she felt sorry for her young age, so she couldn't help but shed tears and said: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, with grandma here, don't think about it. I have to stay here, there are sisters here for company and fun, and I can relax!" Li Wan said a few words of persuasion, and the room was harmonious.

Just at this time, there is a report that the second master Bao is here, and Miss Bao is here!Ordinarily, she didn't notice anything when she heard it, but now that Zibao and Bao were called by that pair of names, Daiyu felt a little uncomfortable.

But when the curtain moved, Baoyu and Baochai came in.When Baoyu saw Daiyu, her eyes were a little brighter than usual, and she went straight forward and smiled and said, "My sister is back! I just heard someone report it, so who is coaxing me again!" After careful examination, he said, "My younger sister has grown taller, but she has become more and more clear." For a moment, she was full of smiles and tenderness, she only fixed her eyes on Daiyu, and seemed to have a thousand words in her heart but didn't know how to say them.

Baochai also stepped forward and said, "Sister Lin is counted. For this, Brother Bao has fought many famines with his wife. He pestered his wife to send someone to pick him up every day. Once I didn't know what to say, and I went out by myself." I was going to hunt for you when I got out the door, but fortunately I was stopped by Li Gui and the others, otherwise I don’t know what kind of trouble I’m going to get into!”

After hearing this, Tanchun and the others couldn't help thinking of Baoyu's behavior during this period of time, and picked up a few things and told Daiyu, which made Baoyu agitated.

Seeing the closeness of the two, Jia's mother became happier and said with a smile, "Okay, I've had two big headaches from you guys too. Your sister just arrived today, so you're afraid that you won't have time to talk in the future? First Take her into the room to see if it is cleaned up to her liking, and if there is anything inappropriate, let them fix it!" Baoyu couldn't be more happy after hearing this, and pulled Daiyu out.Tanchun and Baochai also went with them.

At this moment, Mother Xin, Mo Ge'er and Xueyan Zijuan have already packed up everything.That's all for others. When Zijuan saw Daiyu, tears came to her eyes. She kowtowed and said, "Girl, you're back!"

Daiyu hurriedly helped her up, and said with a smile, "Thanks to you and Xueyan taking care of this place these days."

It turned out that Dai Yun only brought Nanny Xin and Mo Ge'er with her when she returned to the south, and Xue Yanyuan was going back too, but it happened to be cold and hot at that time, so she stayed.This time when Daiyu came to Beijing, Li Wan brought Xueyan over there, but Zijuan saw Daiyu for the first time in so many days.

The two of them still wanted to talk, but Baoyu said from the side: "Sister Zijuan, you only see Sister Lin in your eyes. Where's our tea? Hurry up and make your good tea!"

Knowing that she had lost her composure, Zijuan said with a smile, "Damn it, you have neglected your distinguished guest!" Everyone laughed.

Mo Ge'er and the others helped serve tea and some fruits, but Baoyu approached Daiyu, took out a string of bracelets from his bosom and handed it to her, "This is the wagtail incense string I just got a while ago, for my sister to play with." Bar."

Daiyu was puzzled, and Baochai smiled and said, "Sister Lin, go ahead, this is what Baoyu got when he visited the Prince of Beijing."

Daiyu glanced at Baoyu and said, "What a stinky man took it! You gave it to others indiscriminately!" She said without even stretching out her hand.

Baoyu had no choice but to take it back in an embarrassing manner, and said in his mouth: "My sister doesn't want it. I'll find another one next time." The others just sat by Daiyu's place and talked for a while. Du Baoyu , It seems to have taken root there, and only went there with Daiyu when Jiamu passed on the meal.

Her mother passed away early, and now her father is nowhere to be found. When she was on the boat, sitting and watching the cold and rainy river, Daiyu only felt that her body was just like duckweed, and it was really wind and rain.At that time, there was only a little bit of warmth left in my heart. Apart from the wish to be reunited with my old father in my lifetime, it was Jiamu's love and Baoyu's closeness.

When they arrived in the capital, a letter from Li Wan pushed Daiyu's thoughts to another place. The original love of children was replaced by family, country and world.It turns out that the peace and happiness of this family still needs the fulfillment of the court and the country's fortune.The old man was forced to a dead end, but this way, not only the officials in the south of the Yangtze River are fierce, but why not the court in Beijing?Even the old father himself was an accomplice to this dead end.

Up to now, when he re-enters Jia's mansion, his mind and thoughts are different from his usual self.In fact, it's not just yourself?The old lady loves and spoils her heart, and she also needs to have nothing to do with her.If what the old father did was really treasonous and implicated a lot of people, maybe this love and favor would also have to retreat for the sake of preserving Rongning's family and wealth.Du Baoyu is still the same as before.It seems that no matter how far apart the two are, when they meet again, it will be the same as before.

Thinking of this, he doesn't need to take all his mistakes today.Between people, the heart is always the most important thing. You can't deceive it, but you can't hide it, and the most important thing is to keep it as it is.Since Baoyu has a heart, everything else is naturally trivial.

They had dinner at Jiamu's place and were drinking tea.Baoyu was still talking to himself about all the trivial things during Daiyu's absence, even talking about where a few more early spring grasses and flowers had been added in the yard.

Xiren took a chance and asked him: "Second Master, the 'Xiaochun Picture' you painted with Miss Bao is still with your wife. Didn't you agree yesterday that you will fill in the colors today? Are you going to go or not? Baoyu just remembered this, but he was not in the mood, so he said: "At this time, it is very wrong to paint the early spring season. How can we call out the appropriate colors without the charm and spirituality? You go to the same Sister Bao said, this painting...it won't be too late to draw until the beginning of next spring."

The attacker had no choice but to take the order to deliver the message.Daiyu glanced at Baoyu and said, "The good painting is not finished. How can I remember the plan when I painted it after a year? I think you should go and finish the painting as soon as possible."

Baoyu waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's just a joke when I'm bored, so I can call it a painting."

Tanchun couldn't see it, and said with a smile: "I don't know who it is. It goes to Yingmao every day, and it's making troubles about how many odds and ends that Sister Feng bought. I'm afraid there are a few colors that have not been confiscated by now. You should throw them away first." It's yours! It's really you who think it's a treasure, and it's you who say it's a grass." Baoyu only smiled, and took up the words just now, and talked to Daiyu about the garden that is being repaired now.

Let's say that Baochai went to Mrs. Wang's place to say hello to Mrs. Wang after dinner at home. After sitting for a while, he saw the attacker coming outside, but he passed on Baoyu's words.

Mrs. Wang was afraid that she would get angry, so she angrily said: "Why are you a slave! Didn't you say this painting well yesterday? Miss Feng sent a lot of things early this morning, if I had known If he said that, I wouldn't bother to make room for him, wouldn't it be good to put it in his study outside as soon as possible? You don't know how to tell him what to say, let him use his temper!"

The attacker kowtowed to make amends, but Baochai persuaded Mrs. Wang: "Auntie, why bother to get angry? Brother Bao has always been an unrestrained temperament. If anyone says something, he will think of it if he can't keep it together. Anyway, that painting is not good. If you don’t want to paint any important things, why don’t I put them away first, so as to save them and have nowhere to look for them later.”

Mrs. Wang recited the Buddha and said: "Amitabha, I have always told your mother that I have seen many girls inside and out, and none of them can compare with Bao girl. If I change another one, I don't know when he is so out of tune. What's the fuss?"

Baochai said with a smile: "Look at what my aunt said, it's not a serious matter, it's just a joke on weekdays. I was thinking that if Brother Bao made this painting seriously, it would be fine if I presented it when my mother came back next year. Let the empress take a look at Brother Bao's progress."

Mrs. Wang became more and more happy: "What a good idea! I told you earlier that Baoyu was taught to read and write by his sister when she was at home. It may have been many years now. Your idea is very good, and it should be so." Xiren said: "You tell him, just tell me what I said. It doesn't matter if you don't make this painting today or tomorrow, but you must do it for me before your mother visits her relatives! The things will be kept with me. When will I paint?" , let him tell me the regulations! If you just keep cheating, I will talk to the master, and let the master talk to him."

Xiren passed the words back, and Baoyu's face immediately turned earthy, and Daiyu couldn't help but said: "How? I said it earlier, you might as well go and finish the painting as soon as possible! How are you doing now?"

Baoyu sighed and said, "It's a good thing to enjoy, but it's just to make people bored. I've never heard of any masterpiece that is so forced."

Tanchun laughed and said, "Why not? Didn't people still mention 'The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold'?"

But Daiyu said: "Third sister is ridiculous. I think Baoyu means 'there has never been a painting done by my master holding a board and looking at the paintings'!"

This made even Baoyu laugh.It's just that although he was unhappy, Mrs. Wang couldn't do anything about it. She had to find time to come out later, and after a month of procrastination, she finally finished the painting together with Baochai.
