It is said that Huang Xing and Lin Hai are discussed by their relatives, and the next day Zhang Wang wakes up, and the three cousins first discuss it properly in one place, and then act separately without repeating it.

Now let's talk about Lin Daiyu's side. On that day, when Qingliang Mountain came down, things were busy and chaotic, and everyone was working hard. Especially Zijuan, in front of the mountain, after eating, clothes, stubborn things, and bothering about everything, less resting than others, and annoying even more; when she came down the mountain, there was Daiyu's marriage, although Lin Ruhai, Wu Mama, etc., took the big zong'er, those details of trivial things, or inconvenient to ask Daiyu, all came to ask her, so it was ten times busier than before. She was so tired during the day that she was too lazy to put on her clothes when she got up at night, and she couldn't get up the next morning without being blown on her head by the wind. Dai Yuyuan was busy hiding people, and suddenly saw Zijuan falling, and she couldn't care about being shy, so she rushed to the bed with Qinghe and Qingmiao to see, and while calling for a doctor, she ordered Xue Yan to take care of it. How did Mama Wang and Mama Jin not know about her master-servant friendship? Seeing this situation, the other old maids and mothers on the side of Xizhan Garden also made a difference, so they reported to Mrs. Wang and handed over a post to Jinhetang. I didn't want to answer the post of Shangshufu over there, and I heard that it was Lin Ruhai's family who sought treatment, and suddenly even Jiang Sanxing couldn't sit still, so he came to see him in person - but just to see Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu with his own eyes, observe words and looks, inquire and intercede, and figure out Guan Mengke's medical methods. As for the purple cuckoo, it was not a miscellaneous disease, and Jiang Sanxing's practice was to ask the reason, look at the color, and check the pulse, so he cut out the cause of the disease and prescribed a prescription; one meal in the afternoon of the same day, another meal before going to bed, and two meals of medicine, the person was more than half better. When Lin Daiyu got up early the next morning and went to look at her again, Zijuan was already able to lean on the head of the bed and eat the very thin rice porridge by herself with a bowl. Seeing Daiyu coming, Zijuan picked up the bowl and was about to get out of bed to salute. Daiyu hurriedly stopped, and said angrily: "What are you doing all this? You get better quickly, it's serious." So he asked the snow geese about the night, the medicine and diet they used in the morning. Xue Yan said them one by one, and Daiyu was relieved. After saying a few more words, I heard the news that the Hong family was coming. Daiyu then said: "Sister Zijuan and raise it with peace of mind. Whatever you want, just let the snow geese use it. ”

One time to the front. Hong was drinking tea in the house, and when he saw Daiyu coming in to salute, he hurriedly skimmed the teacup, shook hands with a smile, pulled it up, and sat next to him. Hong said: "Zijuan's illness is even worse? Yesterday, the doctor came to see and took all the medicines prescribed?

Daiyu said: "I've already taken the medicine, and I'll see you." She herself only said that it was fine. But I think that the cause of her disease is due to hard work, so that she can rest in peace and not get busy. ”

Hong nodded and said, "That's exactly the truth. The disease is like a thread, and the root of the disease must be removed. I think this girl is really rare, she has been too busy in the past two days, how many things are pressed on her alone, and everything is properly prepared, and she is not messed up at all, until she is taken off, it is not obvious that it is important. But also thanks to her methodical assertion of everything, although she was sick for a while, she explained it clearly in a few words, and others could take it over. ”

Hong asked who was accompanying him at the moment. The answer was that it was a snow goose. Hong said: "That's just it. Snow Goose, this girl is young, and her temperament is still stubborn, so she can't be a big deal, and she is still miscalculated to stay in the back yard to talk to others. It's just that you have a lot of things to do in the past two days, and you will inevitably have to meet some relatives and foreigners, but there are few people around you for a while. Seeing that Daiyu heard this, her face was shy, but she was more puzzled, so she smiled at her and said, "Yu'er is afraid that she doesn't know yet, and now there is another happy event in our family." You were engaged by your eldest brother yesterday, and it is your Aunt Fan's sister Shu Wen. You also saw it when you were in Yangzhou before. Isn't this an unthinkable fate? Sure enough, everything is predestined. ”

When Lin Daiyu heard Hong's mouth say "our family", she unconsciously turned red at first, but then when she heard that Zhang You and Fan Shuwen were married, Daiyu was surprised and happy, and said with a smile: "Is it really Sister Shuwen? As he spoke, he stood up and saluted.

Hong was overjoyed when he saw it, and said with a smile while pulling him over: "Okay, good." Be good sisters, and you will be more harmonious and friendly when you become concubines in the future. Daiyu was embarrassed to say this, stomped her feet, only hid her face in Hong's arms, and said angrily: "Auntie!" Hong's laughter became more and more happy, and he hugged Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, don't be busy." That's serious. I just see that the four of you are good, and the second half of your life will be complete. Stretching out his hand, he re-brushed his sideburns for Daiyu, and said, "Your Aunt Fan will come over later." You can't just bring Qinghe and Qingmiao with you - it doesn't look like it. It's better to teach Bai Juan and Bai Pu to replace it for a while, and then change it back when Zijuan's illness is cured. What do you think?"

Daiyu smiled: "Auntie takes good care of her, Yu'er thank you." "Hong's called the white wattle and white pu on the outer steps. The two of them came into the house and kowtowed to Daiyu first. Hong gave another order to be careful, and then took Daiyu with him, and the two hugged Mrs. Zhang to the upper room.

But it was said that Mrs. Zhang was talking to her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and when she saw Hong and Lin Daiyu coming, they were happy and happy. After a few idle words, Cao Yajing, Huang Bei, and Huang Wei came. So Lin Daiyu and a few of her moved to the small hall to play. Here, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Hong looked at the tea again, and Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "This time I was lazy and hiding, and I drank tea." If my daughter-in-law has anything to say, just say it. ”

Hong said with a smile: "Ouch, my aunt is right - I am lazy and hiding, and I have drunk tea, which is enough for many days, but I dare not be loose anymore, it is my uncle who ordered me to come and check with my aunt about the meeting gift that I brought back to Changzhou." ”

Mrs. Zhang suddenly made a straight face and said: "This doesn't make sense, you have only been home for a few days, and you have to leave? And it is only determined by my brother's relatives, and there are many joints before and after dredging cooking, where is it good to go home? There must be something wrong at home, or someone has offended him-the eldest daughter-in-law, go and call your master, I ask him!"

Hong smiled: "Aunt is laughing again." I can't wait to rely on my aunt, my eldest brother, and my sister-in-law for the rest of my life. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she hurriedly said, "In this case, why are you busy leaving? Don't say this again, just live at home with peace of mind." ”

Hong said: "My good sister-in-law, I really can't stay any longer - you calculate, September 26 is the old lady's birthday, even if you count it today, it's only three months when it's full." It's easy to say that the brother is married, and the three books and six ceremonies are good, but the family always has to paint the house, clean up the courtyard, beat the furniture, and add things, all of which have to be rushed out. When there is a Mid-Autumn Festival and a Chongyang Festival in the middle, this year is also in time for the Autumn Festival...... A big mess of things is crowded in one place, where do you dare to mess around in Nanjing?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was really reasonable. Mrs. Zhang next to her also said: "Mother's birthday, it is natural to watch the reunion of children and grandchildren." By my brother's family, just for this one, I should be in a hurry-I would be happy to come to the Fan family. ”

Hong said: "What my aunt said is exact. In the end, it is the eldest great-granddaughter-in-law. With me, I can't wait to welcome someone through the door right away. But July is not suitable. Push it to August, and you can't free up your hands before the Mid-Autumn Festival. After that, there is August 20, the second day of September, and the fifth day of September. I thought that I would let the child go back to her aunt's house at that time, so as not to run between Yangzhou and Changzhou, and besides, save the time and time of going back and forth on the road, and I could also have a shared helper in my mountain of things, so as not to catch the broom and throw it down the fence, and make jokes in a panic. ”

She was straightforward here, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing when Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang said it. Mrs. Wang pointed to the Hong family and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, listen, where is this to marry a daughter-in-law? To put it bluntly, it is to catch a strong man and work for a long time! This Fan girl is too pitiful, she fell into the hands of this evil mother-in-law who peeled and squeezed oil, and she didn't know how many bones and scum could be left. ”

Mrs. Zhang was just laughing, but when she heard Mrs. Wang's description, she laughed so much that tears came down, and she stroked her chest and said, "Don't talk about her." I just heard her say that, I really have a lot of things to do and are busy, no wonder I can't help but work hard. After laughing for a while, he calmed down, and said to Hong: "Even so, I won't detain you." You have sorted out what you need to do next, set a time, make a clear list for your sister-in-law, arrange boats, carriages and horses, and pack up boxes and cages. He asked again: "Lin Yatou and the two daughters, are you going with you?"

Hong said: "Uncle Lin's previous will is written that he will be filial to the old lady, so he will naturally be with us. Eh, look, isn't this another incident? Although Uncle Lin had already sent someone to clean up the house in Changzhou, since he arrived home, the old lady refused to let it go. The lord and wife of the family will not let them leave. If I don't take care of the placement properly, even my uncle will be able to eat me. ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "You have always done things properly, if you don't target you, who can you stare at? Not to mention that there are so many selfish motives now." It's up to you to get it. It's just the same, I'm going to Changzhou's house in September, and my yard, you clean it up for me first. ”

Hong said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, I have already prepared a manuscript here, and you are satisfied with it." If there is nothing else, I will borrow my sister-in-law from my aunt. ”

Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and said, "Just go, just go." No, you two are singing together, and I'm quieter. Saying that he laughed first, Mrs. Wang and Hong also laughed. The two of them took note of each other and went to the courtyard of Madame Wang to discuss affairs. Mrs. Zhang beckoned herself to a kind of granddaughter to joke and play, and did not mention it during the day.

Let's say that Lin Daiyu ate the day's meal, returned from Mrs. Zhang's upper courtyard, and went to Xizhan Garden to see Zijuan first. I didn't expect Zijuan to be in good spirits in the morning, but this time he became sleepy and depressed. Daiyu hurriedly asked Snow Goose. Xue Yan said: "There is always something before, and my sisters and mothers are not at ease, so they come to ask at every turn." I want to stop it, but Sister Zijuan refuses, so I have to put on my clothes and explain everything before I can rest assured. I just took a meal of medicine in the day. ”

Daiyu said: "It's mine." I should have come home earlier, and I would have blocked it for you. ”

Zijuan hurriedly said: "The girl said this, teach me how to be worthy, it is my business, but I am sick for a while, and I have to worry about the girl." Now that I've taken the medicine, I'm almost better, and I'm ready to get up. As he spoke, he was about to move, but Daiyu hurriedly held him down.

Daiyu said angrily: "Nonsense again! Now you don't even listen to me?" I said that you should rest with your heart, so give me a rest. It's not good, don't move it anymore. He called his grandmother, Mama Wang, and said, "Please ask your mother to bother here." "Mama Wang is busy. Daiyu ordered Zijuan to recuperate in peace, so she took someone to her house.

When I returned to the room, I heard a voice outside: "Young Master Cousin is here." Then a faint voice came in. Lin Daiyu decided on her own family, and on the fourth day so far, although the elders said that she didn't need to be restrained, she and Zhang Hui had only taken a picture from a distance, and someone handed over two things, and the two did not say a word. At this moment, suddenly no one said hello in advance, and came with his feet, this Daiyu was immediately ashamed, and he wanted to hide, but Zijuan was sick in the back, and although Qinghe and Qingmiao around him were smart, they were not as agreeable as she knew, so they only looked at Daiyu and others. In the end, it was the outhouse who talked about Mama Laocheng, seeing that Zhang Hui came all the way, but Daiyu didn't make a sound here, so she hurriedly went to the outside steps to greet the person, asked Zhang Hui how he was, and asked Zhang Hui where he came from and how he came over.

I heard Zhang Hui smile and said, "I'll come to see Sister Lin." How is my sister doing today? Is this time already resting? And I heard that Sister Zijuan is sick a few days ago, so I came to ask if it matters. If you have any medicine or anything to need, just send someone to me and tell me. ”

Lin Daiyu also relieved himself of these two sentences, held back her shame, and raised her voice inside: "My cousin is here, please sit in the room." "Here Bai Yi is busy opening the Hunan bamboo curtain, and when Zhang Hui comes in, there is no need for Daiyu to order, Qinghe will pour tea by himself.

Zhang Hui saw that Dai Yuxing's eyes were slightly hungry, his cheeks were red, and the redness of a neck exposed on the moon-white soft gauze shirt had not yet dissipated, even if he was a gentleman who kept manners, his soul could not help but swing; After thanking him, he had nothing to say for a while. This Lin Daiyu originally measured Zhang Hui to speak first, and then answered by herself, which was not rude, so as not to show her birth, but to add to the embarrassment; Daiyu was panicking, and suddenly there was a sound of water under the window, and she suddenly jumped up. Zhang Hui also woke up like a dream, and hurriedly got up to check.

It turned out that the sound came from the injured mountain turtle in the shallow tank under the window, because it had to climb from the tiles near the water to the stone to rest and cool, because it was missing a hind foot, and it was difficult to move, so it somehow stepped on a hole and fell into the water, and it accidentally fell into a belly. Zhang Hui couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "Stupid stupid, I can't even do this little thing, and I have to rely on external help." And he turned it over and laid it on the top of the stone. As soon as she turned around, Daiyu was biting her handkerchief, looking at herself with a pair of clear and bright eyes, and her eyes clearly understood the pun just now. The two looked at each other, Zhang Hui laughed first, and Daiyu followed suit: the jerkiness was gone for a while, and the embarrassment was all gone. Daiyu took her silk handkerchief and handed it to Zhang Hui to wipe his hands. Chapter reused. Qingmiao and Bai Pu immediately brought clean water and washed their hands with him. As soon as they were cleaned up, the two sat down in the hall again, and Qinghe changed the tea again.

Zhang Hui asked at this time: "I asked outside before, my sister feels okay today? There have been a lot of things in the past two days, Sister Zijuan is sick again, and my sister has to be more and more vigilant about maintenance." Grandpa Guan's medicine must be taken on time and must not be neglected. ”

Daiyu said: "I have taken Grandpa Guan's medicine, and in the past two or three months, I have felt much stronger. ”

Zhang Hui nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be." However, you should rest earlier at night and worry less about it. If there is really a very important decision, either tell your mother or sue me, it will definitely have an effect. ”

Daiyu's face turned red, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I have a number." Suddenly, he looked up and smiled, and said, "Sure enough, there is something to bother my cousin now." Zijuan is sick, although it can't be said to be heavy and critical, but it is a symptom in the end. I wanted to ask her family to come and see her. If you can be happy, this disease may go faster. ”

Zhang replied: "This is easy. Then he asked, "What else does my sister want to eat?" I was about to go out in the afternoon, and I will bring it back with me. ”

Daiyu tilted her head and thought for a while, then smiled: "I can't think of anything for a while." When I think of it later, I'll send someone to sue my cousin at any time. ”

Zhang Hui responded with a smile, ate the tea, and left. Daiyu sent it to the door, and suddenly caught a glimpse of something, and said "Huh". Zhang stopped and followed her eyes, but it was the pendant of his fan with mugwort leaves and herbs, and two silk threads were picked out from the continuous embroidery surface of the five bats, which were just illuminated by the oblique sunlight, so it was dazzling. Zhang replied: "I must have accidentally hooked it in a place like a bush of branches." As he spoke, he untied the pendant.

Daiyu saw him put the fan pendant in his sleeve, so he raised his foot to leave, and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Since my cousin went out, the fan was so bare, it didn't look like it." And stand at one stop. Raised his head, opened his mouth to shout Zijuan, did not call out the first reaction, so he went to the dressing table, took out a small purse sachet from the mirror box, took it in his hand and walked over, about to hand it back to the chapter, suddenly touched his heart, his face was red, and he unconsciously retracted his hand. Here Zhang Hui saw that this sachet was in the shape of a carp, front and back in pairs, and the dragon's whiskers on the fish's mouth were sinking, which was very chic and exquisite, and it obviously took a lot of work. He was happy in his heart, and he didn't wait for Daiyu to really shrink his hand, stretched out his arm, took the sachet in his hand first, and quickly embellished it on the fan; So I went. Daiyu blushed and watched him go out of the courtyard.
