By Jia Xiuzhen

Early in the morning, Zicuckoo tidied up and looked at Daiyu. Seeing that she was sleeping deeply, she wondered secretly.It turned out that Daiyu had always been a light sleeper. Although Li Wan took care of her in every possible way and moved all kinds of rare things around, she was able to sleep through the night, but she was easily awakened by the slightest noise in the morning, which is really rare today.Just as she was about to walk away without making a sound, she saw a jade box next to her pillow, but her eyes widened.

While thinking about it, Daiyu woke up slowly, looked at the sky outside, and asked Zijuan, "What time is it?"

Zijuan hurriedly said: "It's still early, girl will rest for a while." Daiyu grunted, turned around and stuffed the Lingyu in her hand under the pillow, and fell asleep again.Zicuckoo lightly put down the tent and backed out.

Xueyan came in with water, Zijuan hurriedly waved her hands, and then whispered after leaving the inner room: "I just fell asleep again, let's talk about it later."

Xueyan's eyes were wide open, and she lowered her voice and said, "Are... asleep again?" Zijuan nodded.The two of them stopped talking, put down the basin and went to the other side first.

Daiyu slept until the sun was up, seeing that she missed the time to greet Jia Mu, she couldn't help feeling ashamed.Zijuan hurriedly said: "I went to kowtow to the old lady early in the morning. The old lady told the girl to have a good life and raise her. She said that filial piety is not in it. The girl's health is still filial piety."

Daiyu felt even more ashamed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked the waiter to freshen up.Xueyan made the bed and also saw the jade box, so she asked, "Miss, do you want to put away this jade box?"

Daiyu said: "My sister-in-law gave it to me yesterday, save it for medicine pills. Bring me the piece of sapphire under the pillow." After hearing this, Xueyan went to touch under the pillow, and sure enough, she touched the piece of sapphire. Jade, hand it to Daiyu.Daiyu stroked the jade and took a closer look. It was still the same, but it seemed different, and she couldn't explain why, so she said to Xueyan: "Put this in the box."

Xueyan took it, and said, "Why don't you put it together with the cool jade set?"

Daiyu knew that she was talking about the set of Guanghan jade ornaments, so she nodded.Zijuan combed Daiyu's hair, glanced at the jade box on the table, and said with a smile: "This box is so delicate, Grandma really thinks about girls in everything." Daiyu was about to speak, but she saw Baochai He Sanchun came in from the outside. He hadn't seen Daiyu early in the morning, so he came to see her, and Daiyu couldn't help saying a few polite words.

After combing her hair, Xueyan came in with water, and Zijuan took a fragrant pancreas, handkerchief, green salt, etc. and waited for Daiyu to wash.Baochai saw the jade box on the side, took it out of his hand to play with it, and was surprised to see that it was made of a whole piece of jade.Tanchun saw it at the side, and said with a smile, "I've never seen Sister Lin use this before, it's so beautiful."

Baochai then said: "Lantian's warm jade produces smoke. You can see the strands of smoke on the top of this jade. This is the Lantian smoke jade."

Daiyu had finished tidying up her other end, she turned her head and said with a smile: "The one used to collect the pills, it's convenient to take by the pillow, and it's clean."

Xueyan had already served tea to several people, and put two small dishes of snacks and a bowl of porridge on the small table on the other side, took the bowl and spoon and said to Daiyu: "Miss, let's have some porridge first."

Daiyu annoyed her and said, "The guests are all here, so you're making a fuss about it."

Baochai laughed and said, "Sister Lin is too outspoken. You have always been weak, so don't get in the way of these vain etiquette and starve yourself to death."

Yingchun also said: "Sister Lin, let's have some porridge first, it's still early, and I'm choking on the pastries next to me."

Daiyu smiled and confessed, and sat aside, there were goose oil mille-feuille, jujube cheese sandwich, bee-flavored milk cake, and cloud-legged fruit in two small plates, and Xueyan had already filled a bowl of Bichengcheng The porridge, but it smells like lotus root.Then he asked: "What a fresh formula, why are there so many tricks?"

Xueyan smiled and handed a celadon spoon to Daiyu, saying: "I made this porridge early in the morning, and I added fresh lotus root juice, and the two dishes of dim sum were just brought by my grandma."

Daiyu said: "I didn't know why I slept so late, my tired sisters-in-law and sisters worried about me, I'm really ashamed."

Tanchun laughed and said, "Sister Lin, you have always been weak. If you didn't see you in the morning, you knew that your body might not be right. You said that you slept late."

Baochai said from the side: "Sister Lin, you must not be careless. People's physiques have always had their own biases. It is against common sense that people with heavy sleep suddenly lose sleep, or those with light sleep suddenly fall asleep again. , or find a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment."

Xichun got up from the chair, walked to Daiyu's side, pointed to the plate and asked Daiyu, "Sister Lin, what do you think of this cake?"

Daiyu said: "This milk cake looks delicious."

Xichun took another breath and asked, "How do you smell the porridge?"

Daiyu said: "The fragrance of rice and the fragrance of lotus root go well together."

Xichun stroked her chin, shook her head and said, "This miracle doctor seems to make the girl very healthy, it's important to drink porridge and eat snacks quickly!"

Daiyu had already suppressed her laughter when Xichun asked her a question, and now she leaned over and laughed so that her shoulders trembled, Baochai and the others also laughed, Yingchun took Xichun's hand, and nodded her forehead: "Why are you doing this?" So cramped!"

Daiyu drank porridge and snacks, joked with everyone, and hurriedly went to Jiamu's place to say hello.Seeing her radiant spirit, Mother Jia felt relieved, Daiyu looked ashamed, blessed her body and said, "I've made my ancestors worry again."

Mother Jia asked her to come closer, held her hand to look closely, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay."

Daiyu's face was flushed, and she whispered: "I woke up earlier, but fell asleep again for some reason, Xueyan and the others didn't know how to call me, so the ancestors were worried."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "You're such a smart person. I thought of many ways to help you sleep well. Now that I can sleep well, I feel relieved. Don't care about those vain rituals."

Daiyu chatted and laughed with her for a while, and Fang said: "Yesterday I got some good things from my sister-in-law, and I missed my sister-in-law's snacks this morning."

Jia Mu nodded and said: "You are here, just like at home. I am happy with you sisters-in-law and sisters. I am also happy to see it." Until lunch time, Li Wan and others came to serve Jia Mu for dinner. Jade comes all the way again.

After dinner, Daiyu wanted to thank Li Wan, so after a short rest, she took Xueyan to Li Wan's place.Sitting down, he explained in detail what happened during the jade test last night, and raised his face to look at Li Wan eagerly.

Li Wan took the Lingyu and only read a few words from "Daqian Museum", how could he know that it was true, after hearing this, he had to say vaguely or fell asleep.

Daiyu thought that after waking up, the jade was clearly in the same place, and there was no reason why she could suck a stone into her stomach, and it made sense after hearing what Li Wan said, and asked: "Then how can I use it after that? "

Li Wan saw that the jade stone had lost all aura, but Daiyu was full of vitality, which was very different from before, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you try to sleep under the pillow."

Daiyu remembered that when she returned to the cage in the morning, she slept on the stone, so she nodded repeatedly.

Thinking of something again, he said to Li Wan: "Sister-in-law, Sister Bao and Second Sister came to see me in the morning. When I saw the jade box, I just said that it was used to hold pills. It's just that Sister Bao said something about jade." Come..." Glancing at Li Wan, he said, "I don't know if there is any hindrance..."

Li Wan knew that Daiyu was remembering the matter of giving away the spirit fruit last time, how could Li Wan take these things to heart now, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm only worried about what's wrong with you after reading that book. It seems that you are more energetic than usual, so don’t worry about it. It’s just a jade box, and it’s not a rare thing.” She naturally didn’t take the most insignificant things from the Cang Geng.

There are strands of smoky fine lines on the clear water bottom of this smoky jade. The whole palm is about an inch thick and cut into a box. The lid is neatly cut, and the box is tightly closed.This is naturally a commonplace thing in the bead world, and it is not the same thing outside.Li Wan only thought of repaying the favor of the fairy spirit, and Daiyu had never cared about these things, so she let it go after hearing Li Wan say so.

But there are people who can't let go.When Baochai returned to Lixiangyuan, he went back to the house, took out the needle and thread, but couldn't embroider two stitches, always lost his mind, so he simply put down and sat on the couch.Ying'er went out for a while, then came in with a brocade box, and said to Baochai with a smile: "The new style of jewellery, which my uncle mentioned last time, can be counted now. Miss, would you like to see it?"

After Baochai heard this, she turned her head and let Yinger open it.Ying'er wanted to see something new, so she quickly moved the tea ornaments on the table, lifted the lid of the brocade box, and took out everything from the inside to show Baochai.The jewelry styles in the capital are more prosperous than those in the south, and no expense is spared in making silk and pearls, but chiseled flowers are rarely used.

Ying'er held a short hairpin of red gold inlaid with treasures and hundreds of flowers, and said to Baochai, "Miss, look at this, it's so exquisite, it's hard for them to think of it."

The head of the hairpin is in the shape of a flower basket, with ruby ​​pearls as petals and emerald jade as leaves, which are gathered into blossoming flowers, which look like jewels.

Baochai took it in his hand and looked at it. At first he was happy, but suddenly he felt tasteless, so he put it back in the box and said, "The craftsman is very angry."

Seeing Baochai like this, Yinger lost her interest for a while, so she wanted to clean up.Aunt Xue just entered the room, saw the hairpins scattered on the table, and asked with a smile: "Your brother Baba's new ones, are they still eye-catching?"

Baochai hurriedly stood up and helped Aunt Xue sit down, while Yinger poured tea by herself.Aunt Xue took a few pieces at random to look at, and said with a smile: "This time, I did a decent job, how about it, do you like it?"

Baochai was really not in the mood at this time, and couldn't bear to shake her mother's heart, so she forced a smile and said: "They are all very delicate, and they are quite different from those in the south."

Aunt Xue patted her hand and said: "The customs in this capital like to learn from the palace, so why not be more stylish."

When Baochai heard this, she became restless, and faltered a few words before talking about something else.After Aunt Xue left, she ordered Ying'er to take away all the jewelry without even trying.He also thought of the jade box that he saw in the morning, it was really ingenious, but it was completely natural, it was actually used by someone to hold a pill.

Didn't Lin Daiyu come here alone?It was different from what I heard earlier.The so-called three generations learn to eat, five generations learn to wear, because these daily details are the most revealing of identity, and the easiest to reveal.From the small to the big, it can be seen that the scholarly family of the Liehou family is extraordinary.

Thinking about myself, I was being compared everywhere. Although my family is rich, but my elder brother is like this, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to support my family.Although Daiyu lost her mother and was pitiful, she has a dear father who is in the heart of the emperor.And when we get along on a daily basis, this Daiyu is loved by everyone. Baoyu is no exception at Jiamu's place. Sister Feng usually takes care of her a lot. Jade is different, let alone Baoyu...

Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat, how could I compare myself to Daiyu...

Seeing Baochai frowning and thinking about something, Ying'er suddenly stood up, hurriedly going to pour tea, stopped her, and asked in a low voice while pouring tea for Baochai, "What's the matter, girl?"

Baochai was startled just now, and hurriedly suppressed her thoughts, took a sip from the teacup, calmed down and said, "I think it's because of the weather, I always feel uncomfortable."

Ying'er nodded and said, "I haven't seen the sun much this summer, it's not uncomfortable. It rains continuously on June Festival, and clothes are still drying. It's not bad if there is no mold."

Looking at the teapot again, he said to Baochai, "I don't think the girl is very energetic today. Should I take a rest, or get a new pot of tea?"

Hearing this, Baochai remembered the tea she drank at Daiyu's place in the morning, which she had never seen anywhere else.

I can't feel calm when I lie down. After a while, when I was about to get up, Aunt Xue sent someone to call Baochai to Mrs. Wang.That day, Jia Zheng and all the Qing guests were out for a banquet, and Xue Pan had told him that he would not go home for dinner. Mrs. Wang left Aunt Xue and Baochai to have dinner together, and asked Baoyu to come to accompany her.

Since Baoyu changed to the current gentleman, he has been caged like a wild horse. Not only Jia Zheng is strict with him, but even Mrs. Wang doesn't speak for him.Today, I managed to leave school early, thinking of Daiyu in my heart, and headed all the way to the back.

After I greeted Jiamu, before I had time to say a few words to Daiyu, I heard Mrs. Wang looking for him. Before leaving, I said to Daiyu: "Let's talk about dinner tonight. Today I want something you like. , you will know when you set the meal."

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Mrs. Wang's place, he wanted to keep him here for dinner, so he felt uncomfortable.Fortunately, Baochai knew that he was fond of miscellaneous learning, so he talked about the books he had read earlier, and it was very enjoyable to talk about entering Hong Kong.When setting out the meal, Baoyu saw that there was a dish of chicken marrow, bamboo shoots and boiled pond, so he asked, "Is this dish prepared by my wife today?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Didn't you specifically ask for it? The chef knew that your meal for today is here, so he brought it here."

Baoyu opened his mouth, saying that this dish was prepared for Daiyu in front of the guests, so he changed the subject and talked about the diet taboos in this summer.

Aunt Xue saw that he was not in love, so she hugged her into her arms and said, "My good boy, you know everything about this idea, and you must be very promising."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "It's just a cleverness, but if you are willing to study hard, I don't have to worry about it every day."

The meal was set up for a while, and several people took their seats, with Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao serving on the side.Mrs. Wang waited for the two of them to arrange the dishes and put in the soup, and then said, "You all go down yourself, so we can talk." The two hurriedly agreed to leave separately.

After the meal was over, Caixia and the others washed their mouths and hands, and made tea again.Baoyu said: "I was in a hurry to come back from school just now. I just asked my ancestors to say hello and came here. I had dinner with my wife here. I should go back sooner."

Mrs. Wang was slightly displeased when she heard that, Aunt Xue said beside her: "My brother is really filial, I can't blame the old lady for loving you so much, go quickly, our own family, and the future will be long."

Mrs. Wang calmed down and said: "You have to go back to your aunt's place. It's too shameful for someone else to chase you away!"

Baoyu laughed and said, "If it weren't for my aunt and sister, I wouldn't dare to say this, because I'm a relative of my own, so I can feel more at ease."

Mrs. Wang knew that Baoyu didn't say a few words to the old lady when she came back, and she was left with food by herself. She was afraid that Jia's mother would miss her, so she didn't say more, and only let Baoyu go.Baochai also said that he was going to pay his respects to Jia Mu, and happened to go with Baoyu.
