2. Gifts
In the following days, Dai Yu was ordered to stay in the house and be taken care of by Mama Wang. During the period, Lang Zhong went in and out, not ten, but also eight. is Dai Yu, who has improved, and is also pressed by Lang Zhong on his wrist, three times a day.
It's just that she's too young to ask anything, let alone ask anything. Only when she closed her eyes and recuperated, the maid relaxed her vigilance and heard a few words.
"This black-hearted villain, God won't let them go." The one who spoke was the big girl in the house, whose name was Agarwood, and she was the most cool and outspoken person.
"Who said no, Miss Harm and the young master suffered such a big crime, and the lady cried several times behind the master's back." Another maid who responded to the voice was supple and submissive, and her name was Guizhi.
"You all be quiet, don't disturb Miss. If you want me to say, our young lady is blessed by the Bodhisattva, if it weren't for her words, how would the lady find out that the imperial doctor is a mediocre talent. Mama Wang came over to silence the maids, but the matter was so big that she couldn't help but chew her tongue.
Dai Yu, who was lying on the bed, relaxed a tense nerve slightly, at least the first hurdle had passed. I hope this incident can arouse their vigilance, otherwise she can prevent the first time with just her three-year-old baby, but not the second time.
As soon as her nerves relaxed, she began to miss her parents and colleagues, and wondered if her body had been cremated. If her body is gone, is she still alive? After thinking wildly, tears fell out. Is there no such person as Dai Yu in the future, she can only use Lin Daiyu's name to survive from now on.
Mama Wang had to come over from time to time to take a look at Miss, and when she saw that her eyes were closed and tears were flowing down, she hurriedly picked her up and patted her lightly, "Miss, wake up, are you stunned?" ”
Dai Yu had no choice but to open his eyes slowly, looking at them with a look of ignorance. Agarwood smiled and said in a brisk tone: "Miss is having a nightmare, it's all fake, and it's okay when you wake up." ”
Everyone laughed and wanted the young lady to forget the nightmare.
Dai Yu had a step, hurriedly went down, nodded, and buried his face in Mama Wang's arms embarrassedly. provoked the maid and the maid to laugh again, and the little ones who are not too big still know how to be shy.
After the Lin family turned over on their backs for several days, Lin Daiyu was hugged by Mama Wang to the upper room to report. Seeing that Daiyu's little person was bending her knees and greeting her in a coquettish voice, Mrs. Lin's mouth couldn't close with a smile. hugged Daiyu to the couch, a heart-to-heart affection, and finally pointed at Lin Jingyu, "Let's play with my brother." ”
So Dai Yu began to stare at Lin Jingyu, she really didn't know how to play to match her age, so she simply took the porcelain doll on the couch to tease Lin Jingyu, "Brother, play for you." ”
Lin Jingyu received it in his arms, thought about it, and picked a jade monkey among the toys on the couch for her. Mrs. Lin looked at it and touched Lin Jingyu's hair, "We Jingyu also know that my sister is a monkey." ”
Dai Yu pinched the jade monkey with a smile on his face. Pick out a jade rooster from the jade of the zodiac and put it on Lin Jingyu, who was giggling.
Mrs. Lin became more and more surprised, when did the two or three-year-old little people know so much. Thinking of her daughter's words breaking Jingyu's condition, she couldn't help frowning at her.
"Daiyu, how did you know how to touch the soles of your brother's feet a few days ago."
Oops, being suspected, Dai Yu's heart was beating wildly, but he was calm on the surface, pursed his lips and smiled, and pointed his little finger at Mama Wang, "Mama, touch your feet and ......"
Mrs. Lin suddenly realized that it must be Mama Wang who was in Daiyu's illness, often touching the soles of her feet to test her body temperature, and asked to let this girl learn. Only then did he touch the soles of Jingyu's feet, and he was crookedly beating to expose Lang Zhong's diagnosis that Yin Deficiency and Fire Prosperity were mistaken for food accumulation and heat.
Seeing that the tip of her eyebrows gradually slowed down, and she looked at herself with a warm face, Dai Yu knew that this level had passed again. She thought to herself, Jiafu is not good, but one thing is good, and her daughters' families are very knowledgeable. Otherwise, Mrs. Lin would not have just heard this sentence, and then noticed that something was wrong, and changed seven or eight Lang Zhong to come for a follow-up consultation, so she dared to diagnose and take medicine.
"Suzi, I remember that there are earrings for camellias, find them and put them on Mama Wang." Mrs. Lin instructed her eldest girl.
Mama Wang received a pair of gold earrings, smiled happily, and hurriedly thanked the reward.
Mrs. Lin just waved her hand and smiled, "You are a good one, I can see your intentions towards Daiyu." ”
After breakfast, the people on the floor went to the ear room to rest, and only Mrs. Lin was left in the upper room listening to the housekeeper's mother-in-law's accounting, and the eldest maids Su Zi and Su Ye took care of the sisters and brothers playing on the couch.
Dai Yu was absentmindedly fiddling with a circle of small toys, but he was actually listening to Mrs. Lin deal with housework. Sister Lin's personality is well known, I don't know what kind of person Jia Min is. After listening to it for a while, Daiyu admitted that Jia Min is definitely not a daughter who only knows the wind and snow, and the housekeeper is a good hand.
If Lin Daiyu could grow up beside her, she shouldn't have become the sentimental, sick and sensitive Sister Lin later. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, and a chubby little hand hooked the five blessings on her waist.
Lin Jingyu giggled, dragging and shouting, "Sister, ...... naughty"
Dai Yu grabbed his hand, took the porcelain horse and put it in his hand, "Drive, drive, my brother rides a big horse......"
Lin Jingyu understood, and smiled toothlessly. The two fat legs really kicked up, and the two hands didn't know how to put them, so they simply raised them above their heads and waved them around, driving non-stop, and choking on themselves.
Dai Yu found it interesting and taught him to clench his hands into fists and put them on his chest to ride a horse, "Jingyu is a general, ride a big horse." ”
"General, general......" Lin Jingyu jumped and jumped, coldly jumped into her arms, and her big head arched straight into her arms, so tired that she couldn't do it. Dai Yu was startled, and the little thing leaned over suddenly, but she didn't expect that her body would be skewed. Fortunately, Su Ye saw the opportunity quickly and helped her steady.
So the chubby Lin Jingyu leaned cross-legged on Lin Daiyu's body, and arched her head into her arms. Lin Daiyu leaned on Su Ye's body as a support, and wrapped her arms around Lin Jingyu. Feeling Jing Yumian's soft and hot little body leaning on himself, looking at his bright face with a big grin, and occasionally when he looked up at himself, the dependence and trust in his eyes, his heart was like a piece of butter in the oil pot, and it melted all at once.
Dai Yu lowered his head, stroked his brother's brain, and said softly: "Lin Daiyu is Lin Daiyu, even if you come, you will be safe, and my sister will protect you." ”
Lin Jingyu looked up at her as if she understood, and suddenly laughed with her two hands, and her big head drilled into Lin Daiyu's arms.
Two little people, talking together, laughed out loud. The appearance of intimacy and affection, the mother-in-law who provoked the trouble had to take a look at each other, and then praised the good fortune of the lady. When Mrs. Lin saw it, she was also happy in her heart.
In the morning, after eating and resting for a while, in the afternoon, Jia Min called his companion in again.
"You walk around in Yangzhou to see if there are any good Zhuangzi or shops willing to sell, pick up those good ones, and buy a few properties."
"Yes." The two mothers-in-law looked happy, they were all companions, and the family came to work for their aunts. If there is no Zhuangzi and no trading, where will they go?
Su Zi called the little girl to come in and beat his wife's legs, while Su Ye set up a coffee table and placed it on the couch, and after a while, the people in the kitchen brought Poria cocos cream and a few plates of snacks.
"Poria Frost took the milk and rolled it, and gave Daiyu and Jingyu a bowl every day." Mrs. Lin picked up the Poria cream, and as soon as she finished the order, she heard the little girl come in and report it.
"Madam, the master's colleague sent it, sent it...... A gift has arrived at the door. ”
Jia Min frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Didn't anyone teach you the rules?" ”
The little girl knelt on the ground and trembled, unable to say a word. Another mother-in-law came in outside the door, and said, "This is a gift list, please look at it." ”
Jia Min took the gift list and glanced at it, and slapped it all on the table. With a frosty face, he said, "Phew, it's a cheap thing." ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly laughed and said: "Isn't it just a cheap thing, there are not many other places in Yangzhou, there are many cheap things, the left and right are just a thing, why should Mrs. be like them." ”
"You go ahead and arrange it." Jia Min turned the gift list upside down and pushed it aside, too lazy to take another look.
"Yes, the old slave thought, since he has entered the mansion, of course he has to teach the rules first, otherwise how can he serve the master and his wife."
After getting Jia Min's jaw affirmation, the mother-in-law walked out, and it seems that this "gift" will not show up in the short term.
Daiyu, who has been drinking Poria cream, has a mirror in her heart, and at a glance, it seems that a newcomer has entered the house. Lin Ruhai has a concubine room, and there are several concubine rooms, so far, she has not seen one. But just because they have been married for many years, and not a single child has come to see it, Jia Min has some means.
In the evening, Lin Ruhai returned home, probably because he heard about the gift, and hurried all the way to the main house.
Jia Min sent his subordinates out, personally stepped forward to change his homely clothes, twisted a handkerchief to wipe his face and washed his hands.
Lin Ruhai sneered at Jia Min and said: "Yangzhou customs, as a husband, I also know that if my wife doesn't like it, I just don't accept it." ”
Jia Min handed over another bowl of almond cheese, "The master will eat two bites first, fill his stomach, and he has already asked them to set the meal." Since it is a custom, we have to follow the local customs. Just see that the lord wants to stay, and if he doesn't want to stay, it is also the lord who came forward to be this wicked person. The concubine also wants to leave a virtuous reputation, so that she can be an envoy when a pair of children get married. ”
The words are even beaten, soft and rigid, but gentle and petty. Lin Ruhai was a little embarrassed, and took her shoulder, "It's also when I first came, my colleagues picked up the wind and had a drink outside...... It's just a show, just a fun. But they were dead-eyed, and when I liked it, they sent it. ”
"Master......" Jia Min's eyes swept around the children, and pushed him in disgust, "The children are here, and they are talking nonsense." ”
As an onlooker who understood the truth, Dai Yu praised Jia Min in his heart. With such a housewife, if it weren't for her early death, the Lin family should have prospered.
"They're having fun, where do they know that?" Lin Ruhai leaned over, and it was about to be pasted on Jia Min's face, which made Jia Min's head lower, his face turned red, and he shouted timidly, "Master......"
The tail note of the last word dragged on for a long time, as if it had a hook, hooking to the bottom of Lin Ruhai's heart.
