By Jia Xiuzhen

When Xiaohong found Daoxiang Village, Sister Feng was there.After reporting the matter, Sister Feng saw her squabbling and wanted to come to her side, and wanted to ask her first if she was happy.Xiao Hong had been quite optimistic earlier, but Lin Zhixiao now has the title of second steward, but he can't compare with the servants in Jia's mansion.Baoyu, the phoenix egg, is raised in the Yihong Courtyard, and it is a battleground for people from all walks of life. I am not a clumsy person, but I haven't seen the opportunity to come out.

There was also the matter of Baochai just now, and she thought to herself: "If I'm still there in the future, Miss Bao will come and go frequently. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to see each other? It's better to avoid it far away." Then he smiled and said something, which was more in line with Sister Feng's wishes.Knowing that she is Lin Zhixiao's daughter, she fell in love with the couple's seldom-talking temperament, and became more and more satisfied, so they decided to ask Baoyu for someone someday.

Li Wan looked aside with a smile.Sister Feng sent Xiaohong away, and was talking to Li Wan about the medicine to take. Mrs. Wang sent someone to invite her, and then she went again.Li Wan said to Suyun Biyue: "I'm busy offering sacrifices to the God of Flowers, why don't you go along for fun? You don't have to watch over me all day, what else is missing."

Bi Yue said: "Where do we get that emptiness? Besides, Mother Chang said, what is there to sacrifice for those dry flowers that don't bear anything? At that time, it's better to help take care of the field."

Li Wan laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said again: "It's the mother's tone."

Suyun also said: "These days, Mammy has been very busy. She said, 'Mango seeds are busy planting, and after the mango seeds are planted, they will be for nothing'. Now it is time to plant everything that needs to be planted. The day before yesterday, Mammy Xu had to bring some sweet potato vines from the farm. Mammy said that this thing had never been handled before, so she went to look at the field in person. The sun is getting bigger now, and it’s sunburned, so how can I follow it? Is grandma going out? It’s also a worry.”

Hearing this, Li Wan felt the greatness of it, and couldn't help laughing again: "You have also grown up now. In the past, you don't distinguish between five grains, but now you can even say things like planting sweet potatoes and vines. It's great."

Suyun blushed when she heard the words: "I've heard the mother say this all day long, can I not listen to it?"

Biyue smiled and said, "It rained a while ago, and Suyun helped Mammy grow beans. Grandma, I'm sure, Sister Suyun is going to marry into the farm, so Grandma has to watch out for her." Just watch." After turning around and running away, it was too late for Suyun to turn around to catch her, so she said bitterly, "If you have the ability, don't let me see you again today!"

Hearing what they said was interesting, Li Wan looked up the slope outside, and sure enough, he saw a few women in the field in front of them bent over and doing farm work.On the other side of the apricot forest, there are singing and dancing, colorful embroidery.Suddenly two worlds.

It was interesting to watch, when I heard a few little girls chirping: "Oh, we can't wait for her, let's go first, after that, everyone has finished sacrificing to the God of Flowers!" Seeing them trotting all the way, the other panted: " What are you in a hurry for? Do you know what flower god is?" The other said: "What's the matter if you don't know the flower god? The nuns have been to the kitchen early this morning. What if the flower cake is gone?" Sure enough. This is reasonable, but the footsteps are far away when the ear hears it.

After walking a few more steps, I saw a little girl sitting on a rock in the back mountain, and was about to ask her why she didn't follow her to eat flower cakes, but seeing that little girl's expression was extremely focused, she swallowed.

In late spring and early summer, the sunlight leaked through the mulberry leaves, just falling on the skirt between her hair.Holding the thin booklet with fingers like water onions, with the sea drooping in front of her forehead, a pair of egg yolk silk flowers on her bun trembled rustlingly when a slight wind blew.She didn't know what she was looking at, but she suddenly let out a "giggle" laugh, and narrowed her eyes even more, but she didn't know that there was someone standing in front of her.

Li Wan stood watching for a while, then quietly backed out.A thought suddenly occurred to her mind: "Sure enough, one person has one state." Thinking that the little girl was immersed in the book, the description in the book became her current state.She was the only one in that environment, no matter how close others were, they couldn't enter through the door.The ink on the book was stained on the paper, but I don't know what kind of environment these two things created for this girl to make her smile so heartily.

Knowing that all the girls were offering sacrifices to the Flower God in the garden today, Mother Jia told her not to go to her place for breakfast, and asked the chef to cook some fresh dishes for snacks to be sent to the garden.The sisters had a lot of fun eating together, but Daiyu was not there, so it was a bit unsightly.

Li Wan went back to Daoxiang Village after eating, just in time for Nanny and Suyun to have dinner.On the low table, there are choy sum sliced ​​pork, steamed ducklings, dried celery, gluten peas and a bowl of dried bamboo shoot and shrimp soup.Then he asked: "Is this the share for the few of you?" Suyun replied: "It's Nanny Chang and me. Biyue just said that she has no appetite, so she gave it to the little girls." Just nodded.

Bi Yue made tea for Li Wan, and Li Wan asked her, "Why don't you have an appetite?" Bi Yue said, "Maybe it's because of the hot weather, I always feel that these dishes are tasteless." Li Wan nodded and said "It's tasteless, that's easy to handle, isn't there a lot of sauce in the room? I'm afraid there are sour, salty, sweet and spicy, you can try it." Biyue knew that Li Wan was teasing her, so she pouted and fell silent.

After eating for a while, Nanny Chang and Suyun also came to serve.Talking about Biyue's loss of appetite, Nanny Chang sighed: "I'm just not satisfied, but I'm used to it. Go to the field with me to do half-day work in the next afternoon, and make sure that everything you eat at night will be delicious. It turns out There is an old saying in raising children, "If you want children to be safe, there are three points of hunger and cold." In fact, is it not the case when raising adults? Everyone always pays attention to how the food tastes in their mouths, whether gold is precious, whether it is rare or not, mixed Forget that the appetite is the real root of the taste." Li Wan nodded after listening.

Mother Chang said again: "In the early years, I stayed with the old lady in Lin'an Zhuangzi for a few years. The old lady was also very picky and delicate, and she was always unhappy in the mansion, so she thought of going to the Zhuangzi to stay. Sometimes I changed into ordinary clothes and went for a walk in the village of the farmers. After a long time, I also got to know some people. Those village boys, in their seventies and eighties, how many times do they see meat all year round? It makes the adults happy , Fried one or two chicken eggs at lunch, oh, yo, it was delicious! When I came back, the old lady told me, "Usually, people like us are rich and rich, and they can get what they want. Think about it now, How can anyone have the ability to eat delicious food?'" Biyue said, "You, now you have ruined your little ability."

Li Wan stopped listening for a while, but thought of something else, and didn't pay attention to what they said for a while.Unexpectedly, in the next few days, Biyue only ate half a bowl for each meal, and she didn't touch the meat at all. Asking her to say that she was "practicing her skills", it became a joke in the village for a while.The most happy ones are naturally those little girls, aren't they happy to get an extra job as a big girl?Nanny Chang said with a smile: "It's better to account for whoever took it, and when the Biyue God's skills are first completed, everyone can eat it and come back."

Besides, Daiyu returned home early in the morning, and when she returned to her room, Master Rong sent someone to deliver a box with cowhide and copper nails.When I opened it, inside was a big gray satin bag.Daiyu burst into tears when she saw the bundle, and stretched out her hand to caress the knot on it.It was a knot made by two layers of burden skin inside and outside, one clearly hooked and the other secretly hooked. When she was in Yangzhou, she accidentally typed it out one day when the father and daughter were chatting. After talking to you a few words about the origins of the relationship, you just made such a 'collusion from inside and outside'."Seeing him at this moment, just like verifying his integrity, a stone fell from his heart, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Nanny Xin and the others hurried up to persuade her, and it took a while to stop crying, and she untied the bundle with slender fingers, but there were several huge books inside.Daiyu turned over the things carefully, but she didn't see the letter, so she couldn't help being suspicious.Mo Ge'er said from the side: "Girl, I don't know how many people have to go through to send this thing from the sea. It is always missing." Daiyu was stunned, so she took a book and looked through it.After seeing it, he watched it, and didn't let it go until the meal was set.

It turns out that the book is full of large paintings, the colors are extremely bright, different from what is commonly seen here.The teeny lowercase underneath, but I don't know if it's Lin Ruhai's handwriting.The paintings on the paintings are all exotic scenery, which are also unheard and unseen.There is another one in the middle, which depicts a person arriving at a place from the sea, how to go from one place to another, how to deal with the local people, and even how to eat and drink.Daiyu recognized at a glance that the man's back on the boat looked like Lin Ruhai, so she knew it was referring to her father's experience this time.After looking at it carefully, I saw that the person in the last painting was being warmly received by a big local family. I thought it would be all right, so I let go of my heart again.Looking back at these many things again, I can't help but smile when I see my father's intentions.

Mo Ge'er stretched his neck to look at it, and said disappointedly: "I heard that there are many fruits with special taste over there..."

Nanny Xin glared at her, but Gui Liu heard it, and asked Daiyu, "Do you want something from there? I might as well find some for you."

Mo Ge'er sneered: "If you can, why don't you just ask the master to write a letter to the girl? You have to wait until you're blowing up the air, isn't it afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?!" Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this.

At night, when there were only two of them left, they asked Gui Liu, "Sister Liu'er, can you really go to my father's side?"

Guiliu thought for a while and said, "If you're looking for fruits, you can search around on the ground, and you can always find them. If you want to find people, it's more difficult. I don't have enough spiritual power to search anywhere. It's really hard to say that I haven't stamped on the master."

Daiyu knew that Guiliu had never been a hidden character, so she had no choice but to let it go.Only GUI Liu still asked her: "Miss, would you like to taste the fruit over there?"

Daiyu then shook her head: "Your practice is not for nothing, is it? There will always be losses. If it's just to find your father, what is it like for a fruit?"

Gui Liu was puzzled and said, "A concubine who rides the world of mortals laughs, but no one knows that it's the lychee. Isn't it like this here? Didn't the emperor let people bring live trees to Beijing to pick the fruit? I think you all like this."

Daiyu didn't know how to break up with her, so she could only say: "That's not something ordinary people do. Besides, it's a bit taboo to use Concubine Yang as a metaphor, so don't talk nonsense in the future."

Guiliu made a bitter face: "Isn't she a great beauty? People here spend so much time putting on makeup and wearing hairpins and jewels just to look better? If that's the case, why are you not happy to compare yourself to a great beauty? Then if I say someone looks like a girl someday, would that be a taboo?"

Daiyu sighed, patted Guiliu and said, "Sister Liu'er, you should go to sleep."

Guiliu also sighed: "Girl, why are you all like this, talk well, and then let it go with a long sigh suddenly." Daiyu frowned and looked at her for a while, and couldn't help laughing. Gui Liu was naturally more and more confused.

Let's say here that Daiyu knew that Lin Ruhai was fine, so she regarded those books as treasures, and read them several times a day.After thinking and thinking, it is not easy to take it to Jia's mansion, and I feel a little disappointed.

It was two days after I returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. I went to see Jia Mu, and Jia Mu said: "They were lively in the garden before, but you were missing, and they all came to me to complain." Daiyu said coquettishly. "Old ancestor, I have to deal with some chores at home for two days, but I don't even have time to sacrifice to the flower god. They are having fun one by one, and they have the nerve to ask me to come." Jiamu laughed: "Tell me about your mouth! You justified it even if you didn't make sense." Liu stayed and had dinner with Jia Mu before going to the garden.

Not long after we arrived, Tanchun came. Seeing that she was the only one, Daiyu smiled and said, "How many people do I still have to come to question my Xingshi? It's okay. It's a coincidence that you just brought some new things here." Why don't you take a look?" After saying that, Mo Ge'er took out a few smart gadgets and demonstrated them to Tanchun.Tanchun looked interesting, and after a while he came to his senses and said, "Oh, I forgot the business. I was about to tell you, this time I went back to your house, but Baoyu said it was because of the girl in his yard. Because Qin made you angry, you have been doing good and bad things for the past two days and insisted on finding that person." Speaking of this, he glanced at Daiyu, and then said, "It's just that this person also has a history. Now he's scratching his head over it."

When Daiyu heard this, there was still something she didn't understand, so she snorted coldly and said, "I said, why did you come here alone, but you came here as a lobbyist." She flicked her nails lightly and said , "You tell him that I asked him face to face that day, and he said it wasn't his order, so that's all. I didn't ask the girl but him. After that, I hurried home and didn't I said a side note. It is his business to teach the girl to clean up the internal affairs, and I can't blame it on me. Now I can't do anything good and evil, and I can't do it. , What did you think of me?! I don't have the preference for people to put shit on their heads for nothing!"

Seeing her angry, Tanchun hurriedly said: "It's my clumsy word that made me go wrong, not my second elder brother who asked me to come. If you annoy him because of this, it's my fault."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's let it go. It's nothing to do with us."

Thinking about it before and after Tanchun, it is indeed difficult to speak again.It was Baoyu's girl who bumped into Daiyu that day, and Daiyu didn't want Baoyu. It was indeed up to him to find Baoyu herself.If it was Baochai who committed the crime, firstly, he would not be able to reach the present step, and secondly, even if he reached this step, he would probably make a joke and let Baoyu get down.It was Daiyu who committed the crime. According to her temperament, Baoyu had such a thought, not to mention making her angry, but even making her look down on her.It's just that I figured it out and it was my own business, so I still had no position to remind Baoyu, so I had to be a spectator too.Make a decision now, don't mention it again, just enjoy those clever ornaments with Daiyu again.

Besides, if Baoyu used to come back, Daiyu would be the first to run, but this time she was blind.Mangzhong had just received the letter from Daiyu's house that day, so he remembered what happened the day before, and returned to the yard in a fit of anger, and asked Xiren to go find Sister Feng, and to question the person who offended Daiyu that day with nonsense.

Na Qingwen was the first one who couldn't take it anymore, she stood up immediately and said: "I closed the door, and I said the words." After finishing a sentence, there was no defense.Baoyu originally thought it was some naughty little girl, and she just used it as a raft, but how could she think it would be her?Stunned for a moment, he pointed to her and said, "You, you..." Xiren saved his expression, and stopped the girl who was sent to find Sister Feng.Baoyu couldn't get off the stage, so he just said, "Think about it for yourself first!" After that, Gu left by himself.

Before he could find a way to get the best of both worlds, Lin Daiyu came back.I really don't know what to do now.Tanchun came out from Daiyu, looked at the Yihong Courtyard, and said to himself, "Second Brother, I'm too benevolent, I really can't do it anymore." He also went to his own courtyard.

Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion heard that Tanchun hadn't gone to Yihong Courtyard, so she pursed her lips and smiled, then she became angry again after thinking about it.At this time, Mo Geer said outside: "Second Master Bao is here." Daiyu took the book in her hand, looked down, and did not speak.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't even look at her, she first smiled and said, "Your sister is back?" Daiyu turned the pages of the book without saying a word.

Baoyu squeezed his fists, closed his eyes, and said to Daiyu, "Sister, I have found the person who bumped into you that day, and you can deal with it as you say!"

Daiyu didn't even lift her eyes, she said flatly, "That's your girl, why are you asking me?"

Baoyu hurriedly said, "Since I offended my sister, I should hand it over to my sister."

Daiyu laughed softly: "Oh? All the women and girls in this house who offended the guests are handed over to the guests? It's a good rule!"

Baoyu was at a loss for words for a while, murmuring that she didn't know how to answer, Daiyu looked up at him seriously and said, "Baoyu, Second Master Bao, what your girl did and what you think to do with it are all your business. I have nothing to do with you." Do you remember?" Daiyu has practiced Qingming for a long time now, and now she is in charge of the Lin family. Her poise is no longer comparable to that of the past, and now she speaks such a calm expression, which makes Baoyu's liver tremble a little.

Now that things are up to now, it is very embarrassing to stand like this, and if you want to turn around and leave, you are afraid of making Daiyu unhappy.Zijuan watched from the side and secretly worried. If the two quarreled and quarreled like before, she would have to persuade her. In this situation, it would be hard to speak up.After a while, Baoyu sighed and said, "My sister just came back, so I'll have a good rest. I'll go now." Daiyu nodded, and only said, "Zijuan will see off my second master for me."

When Baoyu came out of the door, he looked lost. Zijuan was worried and sent him to Yihong Courtyard.Xiren was looking at the door. When he saw someone, he rushed up to help him, and then looked at Zijuan.Zijuan said: "I never quarreled."

Xiren looked at Baoyu's appearance and said distressedly, "Although there was no quarrel like this, it seems to be a little more serious than the quarrel." Some complained about Zijuan, "Would you not give any explanation when you are there?"

Zijuan smiled bitterly and said: "If there is a quarrel, we can still go up and persuade. These two people are talking calmly, so what's the matter with us getting in the way? Besides, nowadays, it is difficult for me to speak. It is." He said with a long sigh.

Thinking about the current situation in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xiren blushed first, and said to Zijuan, "I'm also in a hurry, and I didn't mean it, so don't take it to heart."

Zijuan smiled: "Okay, who are you, how can I not know? It's done, I have delivered the person, and I will go back now, so please coax me." Xiren saw Baoyu's appearance, and it was not in vain Keep her, let's say goodbye.
