Last time, when Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu saw each other, the father and daughter hugged each other and cried. Zhang Hui was afraid that the two of him would be too injured, so he persuaded him and helped Lin Ruhai to the house. Lin Daiyu was also busy helping her father on the other side, and while walking inside, she peeked back at Zhang, but when she saw the sword eyebrows and high cultivation, her expression was abnormally condensed, and she turned away in a panic just by looking at it.

Cha Lin Ruhai coughed lightly, Daiyu called "Daddy", and hurriedly helped him walk two steps quickly and sit down in the upper seat. I didn't want Lin Ruhai to stop coughing, but his breath became chaotic, his coughing and wheezing were unstoppable, and his face gradually turned red. Daiyu became more and more flustered, and was about to stroke his chest and beat his back, this side Zhang Huizao waved his hand to her, and he stepped forward to shake Lin Ruhai's left hand, pressing it a little bit from the middle finger, to the wrist, and then from the palm of the hand, up to the elbow, and then repeated twice. Lin Daiyu didn't dare to look at Lin Ruhai at all, seeing that his breath gradually subsided, his face was flushed and turned blue and white, so he settled down a little; On the other hand, I heard Lin Ruhai laugh and said: "Mr. Guan's secret method, it's only been a few days, and you have learned it." ”

Zhang replied: "The medical Tao is profound, how dare you be a 'cheng' word." It's just that I learned a little roughly, and I can relieve my uncle's pain a little, but my nephew's mind is not empty. ”

Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile and said, "It's a shame for your intentions." If not—" The words stopped, but it was Daiyu who brought a bowl of tea from the maid's hand. Lin Ruhai took the tea, took a sip and put it down, raised his eyes and saw Daiyu's eyebrows and pulses, her worries were full of tears, and the more pity in her heart, she reached out and grabbed her in her arms, gently stroked her sideburns, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, good girl, my father is all right." He led her back to Zhang and said, "This is your cousin of the Zhang family." If I was sick this time, if your brother hadn't brought medicine and a doctor, and how many days of bothering to serve, I was afraid that Yu'er wouldn't be able to see her father at this moment. Daiyu's eyes turned red again for a while, and she hurriedly got up from Lin Ruhai's side, wiped the corners of her eyes slightly, collected her clothes, and bowed down to Yingying in front of Zhang Hui, and said: "Cousin, please accept Daiyu's worship." ”

Zhang Hui hurriedly got up, avoided to the side, and said, "I can't help it." Cousin, please get up. However, Daiyu insisted on refusing, so she could only accept her worship. Then there is the serious meeting of the cousins and sisters: Zhang Hui saw that although Daiyu was young, her appearance was elegant and refined, standing in a pavilion, like the moon and the wind and lotus, Ying Ying smiled, like Xia Wei Fuhui - directly activated the Fang Fei Yuxiu in those poems, and presented them in front of him together, teaching people to just stop and watch from a distance, indulge in their eyes, and hate to move immediately to Fang Fang and appreciate Wan Ting. Feeling this, Zhang Hui's heart jumped violently, and then he woke up, and he was so panicked that he lowered his eyes and only looked at his toes; But I saw Lin Ruhai bowing his head and drinking tea, tiptoe knocking on the ground; next to Daiyu raised his head slightly, a smile on the corner of his mouth was still not collected, a pair of black and white clear apricot eyes were wide open and quietly looked at himself, at this moment suddenly his eyes touched, and he suddenly lowered his head and dodged away, like a frightened bird, his tail lifted, and suddenly disappeared in the clouds. Zhang Hui didn't dare to look closely, only looked at his nose and nose, and sat upright, without saying a word.

He sat silently here, but he didn't know that Daiyu over there was also beating like a drum: it turned out that this Lin Daiyu was a beautiful girl in the boudoir, six or seven years old ago in Yangzhou, and the foreign man he saw was only a teacher in Jia Yucun; and after going to Beijing, he followed his maternal grandmother Shi Taijun, except for his uncle Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, they also saw each other every day, and a Baoyu played with him from time to time, and there were few brothers and cousins next to him. It is Jia Lian, a serious uncle and cousin, and sister-in-law Wang Xifeng, who has taken care of her in the past five or six years, and only to send herself back to the south this time, and only handed over a few more words along the way. At this moment, although Zhang Hui is also related by blood, in the end there are two more separations, and he can be regarded as the first young man in his life. I was grateful and curious in my heart, and I didn't want to be majestic and solemn at the first glance, so that people couldn't lift their eyes; then I knew that he was worried about my father, and after a few times in addition to my father's pain, I felt stable and trustworthy; when Lin Ruhai asked him to thank him, he showed a smile on his face, and he was warm and kind, and stood beside his father, although his appearance was different, his charm was vague, and he seemed to see his father when he was young. Because of this, I didn't realize it, and I was stunned for a while. I didn't want to suddenly see Zhang Hui with a stern face, a pair of eyes looked at her coldly, and she was suddenly startled, just to catch her own private peeping, her face instantly burned hot, and she was ashamed and frustrated: "How can this be good? If my cousin thinks that I am such a rude person, I will look down on it, what kind of face will I have." Then he remembered the past: "I read his letters first, that is, a dignified and calm man, and my father also said that he was respectful and polite, so he did not make a sound, and I think he did not want to talk to me again." For a while, I thought, "My cousin is studying and studying, how can you have such knowledge with me?" If I think nonsense and misunderstand him, I should hurt someone's kindness and alienate my relatives in vain. ”

The two of them thought about each other, and they all snorted together. Lin Ruhai sat on it and watched, although he didn't know what was going on in the child's mind, he could also see the shame between his eyebrows and eyes, especially Zhang Hui, the young man's pretense of calmness fell in his own eyes, and the feeling in his heart seemed to be more comfortable than when he calmed his cough and qi according to Guan Mengke's secret method. It's just that I don't pay these two sentences, which is not like it. Just as he was about to speak, the little guy on the door of the house reported: "Uncle Jia Lian of the Jia family, please see him, and ask the master for his safety." Lin Ruhai hurriedly called for please come in. Zhang Hui and Daiyu listened to the newspaper and were also busy standing up.

As soon as Jia Lian came in, he bowed first, asked Uncle Lin if he was well, and then presented the letters of Jia's mother, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai. Daiyu hurriedly helped Lin Ruhai to stand up, and Zhang Hui also stepped forward, took the letter from Jia Lian, and then handed it to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai read the letter and sighed: "It's all my fault that I am a little cheap, but I am worried about my relatives." He said to Jia Lian again: "The virtuous nephew has come from afar, and the wind and dust are hard, but you are tired along the way?"

Jia Lian hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "This journey is smooth, there is no other obstacle, I really don't dare to be my uncle's 'hard work'." However, the letter that came first said that it was urgent, the old lady, the old man, and the wives were very worried, and Sister Lin was even more suspenseful, urging her to rush to Yangzhou along the way. Now my uncle's illness has been cured, which is really a great joy that I never expected. It can be seen that my uncle is blessed, and everything can turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble. As he spoke, he turned to Lin Ruhai's side and Zhang Hui, Jia Lian saw that he was wearing a scarlet round-necked robe, a purple and gold wrapped Ruyi belt, and then a pair of jade buckles wrapped around the waist with a pair of colorful silk threads. Although they are close relatives, the great grace must not be forgotten. Please accept Jia Lian's bow, and please allow me to thank my cousin on behalf of my old lady, lord, and wife. And he said that, he bowed down.

Zhang Hui hurriedly returned the salute and said, "I can't do it." This is what I should serve as a junior. ”

Lin Ruhai looked at them and said with a smile: "You have all made great efforts, but it is Yu'er, and you should thank your two cousins again." Daiyu saluted according to her words, and served tea to Jia Lian and Zhang Hui. Both of them humbly followed after two sentences. At this time, another Wu Sheng came in and told the house to be settled. Lin Ruhai said to Jia Lian: "The virtuous nephew is the road, and I won't ask you to talk nonsense, and go to settle first, there are other things, and it's not too late to talk about it after a while." I just said that when I get here, it is like at home, and if there is anything bad or sloppy, you must not be ambiguous, and you can mention it to me at any time. Then he said to the old steward Wu Sheng: "In addition to those who serve at home, you can assign two more people who go out with the young nephew." Wu Sheng hurriedly agreed.

Jia Lian thanked Lin Ruhai and followed Wu Sheng to Songfeng Garden. Here, Lin Ruhai pulled Daiyu, took a closer look, and said with a smile: "I've grown taller, and I've grown up." Poor Yu'er, five or six years alone, the family is broken. Let her sit beside her, and instruct the eldest maid who is waiting in the house: "Call the two aunts and the daughters-in-law who are in charge." When the girl's family came, they all came quickly and saluted. Then he told Sù Daiyu: "The house is all cleaned up, and it is your old residence." The side didn't move, only a magnolia and a begonia were added to the yard. Now that the weather is hot, I asked to carry two more jars of water lilies to the edge of the steps under the eaves. Do you like it in a moment?"

Lin Ruhai's voice fell, and before Daiyu could answer, Aunt Qian, Aunt Chen, Mama Wu, Wu Yuan's family, Zhou Zhu's family, and Jiang Shen's family all came over to salute Daiyu and kowtow. Daiyu personally helped Aunt Qian, asked Aunt Chen to help Mama Wu, and told the daughter-in-law next to her to get up quickly. talked to each other for a round, and there were Mama Wang, Snow Goose, Zijuan and others outside to kowtow to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai said two words of comfort to Mama Wang, but asked Zijuan a few more words, but it was nothing more than following the girl for a few years, what she did on weekdays, and how hard it was on the road, and finally said: "I know your loyalty." It's the same here as it is in the capital. Serving the girl wholeheartedly is to teach me to remember you. With that, he ordered everyone to wait for Daiyu to go to her house. Daiyu was busy and said goodbye to her father, and the group hugged her and went back.
