36. Palm mouth
Daiyu didn't meet any lace news such as young ladies diving and changing skirts in Prince Yong's mansion, and she didn't encounter anyone who sneered at her.
If you insist on saying that there is, some people hold their own identities and feel that the identity of the Lin family is not enough, so they don't care much about them. There is no such thing as taking the initiative to embarrass it.
The protagonist of the 100-day banquet was wrapped in swaddling clothes and was only watched at the top table, like Daiyu, who only saw a corner of the big red clothes from a distance. Then a circle of ladies and ladies seemed to have perspective eyes, and then they talked about how well the child grows and how healthy they are, and they dispersed.
Daiyu saw Jingyu waiting for them at the door, and knew that his father was left in Prince Yong's mansion, so he escorted his mother and sister home.
"Jingyu, have you been following your father outside?" Daiyu saw that he was offering a treasure, handed her a round mirror, and asked directly without looking at it.
"Daddy, how can I take care of me, it's Brother Hongyun, well, it's Brother Hongyun who took me." Jingyu is very honest, and she will do it all as soon as she asks.
"He gave this too?" Daiyu pointed to the round mirror.
Jingyu opened the mercury mirror as if flatteringly, revealing the delicate figure inside. "Brother Hongyun sent it, you have a piece, and I have a piece."
"Have you ever thanked someone for a reward?" Daiyu snorted coldly, grabbed the mirror with her fingers and threw it to Agarwood, who was squatting on the side.
"Daiyu, don't be weird, talk to your brother." Jia Min had been pretending to sleep, watching her daughter become more and more angry, but she opened her mouth. This stupid son has been clinging to his sister since he was a child, where can he fight for her.
"Silly boy, people ignore you when they say they ignore you, and you ignore you when they say they are reasonable, what are you, do you come and go as he moves?" Thinking of the past few years, Daiyu is still a little uncomfortable.
If the relationship is severed, she will forget it. Or explain a few words, it has been difficult to protect yourself in the past few years, and you don't want to affect others, so it's okay. just didn't say anything, appeared in front of him all of a sudden, pretending that nothing had happened, which made Daiyu's heart feel bored, and she couldn't turn around.
Since the Lin family was carefree, the population was neat, and the tacit understanding between her and Baoyu with Jiafu was dispelled, she seemed to be relieved, and she only wanted to be at ease, and she became more and more free.
When Jing Yu saw that her sister accepted the gift, she smiled, that is, she was not annoyed by her sister's angry words, nor was she annoyed by Hongyun. The thought in his heart is that his sister is good at everything, but her heart is too small.
Men have self-esteem, and Brother Hongyun has heard of it badly in the past few years, and it is also appropriate not to want to see people. If you still talk about the past, wouldn't you be pouring salt on people's wounds? It's good for everyone to laugh when they meet, it's really unreasonable to care like my sister.
Fortunately, Daiyu didn't know what her brother thought, otherwise she would have jumped up and beat him up on the spot. Let him know why the flowers are so red.
The visit of the little girl from Wulan was a big surprise, Daiyu didn't expect that she really did what she said, and said aggrievedly in front of Jia Min: "Sister Lin said that she came to see me and played with me, but she didn't see anyone for a long time, so I wondered if she hated me." β
When the little girl spoke, a pair of eyes seemed to be talking along, and she looked at Jia Min watery and pitiful, which made Jia Min panic for a while, and quickly hugged her into her arms, comforting and persuading.
"How can it be, your sister Lin must not have been free yet, and she has been settling accounts with my housekeeper every day these days."
"Really?" The little girl's eyes widened all of a sudden, like a happy cat, and she said eagerly: "Then can I let Sister Lin go out shopping with me?" β
"This ......" Jia Min thought of what her daughter encountered when she went out a few days ago, and she hesitated.
But with the slightest hesitation, Ulan immediately deflated his mouth, as if he was about to cry.
Jia Min had to compromise, "Okay, wait until I have enough manpower." β
When Daiyu was invited over, Jia Min had already promised her daughter to accompany Wulan to the street. Daiyu was pushed out in a daze, and even the people from Wulan's house didn't know. But seeing Jia Min's reassuring appearance, Daiyu shrugged, there is a chance to go out, don't be in vain.
The little girl Wulan and Daiyu sat side by side in a carriage, and the little girl's fleshy little arm was pulled to Daiyu's arm, and her head was still resting on her arm. I wanted to come up on her shoulder, but I couldn't reach it.
"Sister Lin, what do you usually like to do?" This greasy and crooked energy, those who don't know think it's a sister.
"I don't have any special hobbies, just draw a stroke once in a while, and then practice calligraphy." Daiyu thought about it and found that she was nosy, but she couldn't talk about it, so she picked up what she could say.
The little girl pouted, "That's right." "The tail note dragged on for a long time, as if I had been bullied.
"What about you, what do you like to do?" Daiyu pretended not to hear the little girl's disappointment and asked.
"I like what adults don't let me do."
is so straightforward, the little girl is not bad now. Daiyu looked at her, "What if adults don't like you to study." β
Well, how did she know that her father was so oppressive of her.
"This teahouse is owned by my family, and I invite my sister to tea." The little girl pointed to a teahouse, Daiyu looked over, the three-story carved small building, the layout was also elegant, and she hadn't drunk tea outside, so she nodded.
As soon as she entered the door, the little girl from Ulan threw herself on a person, and shouted, "Big brother, why is it so coincidental, did you come here to pay my bill?" Is it possible to buy whatever I want today. β
Hongyun hugged her with a helpless expression, "Buy, buy, buy, what you want to buy is recorded in my account." "It's really a good person, and I don't know who it looks like.
Hearing the answer she wanted, the little girl broke free from his arms, turned her head and took the corner of Daiyu's clothes, looking like she was afraid that she would run away. It seems that she knows that if Sister Lin goes back, no one will buy her account.
"Sister Lin, look, that fool is my eldest brother, you don't have to pay attention to him, just think of it as an extra walking purse by your side."
Only then did Daiyu know that it was no wonder that Jia Min agreed so happily, the feelings were Xiao Gege on the Thirteenth Master's Mansion. I was actually deceived by a six-year-old girl, how can I feel embarrassed.
"The style of this purse is really special." Daiyu snorted, and found that the little girl's hand was tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, and if she wanted to break free, she was afraid that it would take some effort. simply raised his legs upstairs and followed Ulan Gege to the private room to drink tea.
They go upstairs, someone goes downstairs, they make a mistake on the stairs, either you let me or I let you. I don't know who didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, Xia Jingui came down from upstairs and saw Daiyu walking up with a child, followed by a handsome young man.
She frowned, she had already stopped, Daiyu had already seen her, and her eyebrows were raised, which means why don't you give way. Mo said that she brought Ulan Gege today, but she didn't bring it, and there was no reason for the official lady to let a merchant girl.
Xia Jingui also has her own reasoning, didn't she recognize Mrs. Wang as her godmother? Then she is also Lin Daiyu's cousin, how can my sister let her sister, the sister should let my sister be.
The two confronted each other, and in the process of eye exchange back and forth, Ulan couldn't help it, "Well, who are you, don't let me get out of the way." β
"Yo, which little girl is so unruly, let my sister teach you, and the children should also know the etiquette." Xia Jingui didn't know who Wulan was, but she knew that the Lin family didn't have such a young child, and there were many children among the distant relatives of Jiafu. The Lin family pretended to be kind-hearted outside, thinking that this should be the child of a relative's family who went to the Lin family to fight the autumn breeze.
Xia Jingui would think so, in fact, it is not surprising, because in order to facilitate travel, Ulan Gege changed into convenient and simple clothes, and did not even wear a collar. In addition, the Thirteenth Master's Mansion is also used to being low-key, and the children's clothes will not be made of bells and whistles, and it is difficult for Xia Jingui not to misunderstand.
"Mama Liu, give me a palm." Wulan is a noble daughter of the royal family, the granddaughter of the emperor today, and the princes and grandchildren have to scruple one or two, for fear of acting unconsciously and causing the emperor to be angry. For Gege, the emperor is much more lenient, pays attention to true temperament, and distinguishes between love and hatred, and dares to love and hate is the right way.
When I meet someone who doesn't give way, it's still on my own territory, it's already very annoying, and I see that it's a person who doesn't deal with Sister Lin, so what else is there to say, slap your mouth. Such people don't have to bother to explain to her.
followed a grandmother who went upstairs to the back of the crowd and went upstairs with three and a half steps, two and a half steps, raised her hand and pumped her mouth. Xia Jingui was pumped down at that time, covering his face and not believing it.
"You ......" As soon as his hand stretched out, without waiting to speak, he was set up by the people downstairs for Mama Liu, who walked down, to continue to smoke.
"One, two, three......" Daiyu counted silently, and saw Mama Liu hit ten times before withdrawing her hand. Ulan didn't even look at Xia Jingui, who was paralyzed to the ground, and looked at them with eyes like quenched poisonous juice.
took Daiyu's hand, and regained her harmless appearance, "Sister Lin, hurry up, the tea fruits and tea snacks here are delicious." β
Hongyun sat opposite them, his back straight, and he looked at Daiyu without blinking, "Sister Lin, I asked Jingyu to give you a gadget, do you like it?" There are still some large items that have not been made, and when they are made, I will carry a few and send them over. β
"Brother Xie Hongyun rewards, do you want to kowtow and thank you." Daiyu slightly hooked the corners of her lips, full of sarcasm.
Hongyun is sweating in his head, what Ama said is really right, Sister Lin is a grudge, and she is small-minded, no, no, she is heavy-minded.
Ulan looked at this, then at that, his big black eyes turned around, and he borrowed a snack list to hide his smile. Seeing the embarrassment of the eldest brother for the first time, he could have extorted one more money.
"Ulan, you go and urge it, why are you so slow." Hongyun coughed and looked at Ulan.
Ulan rolled his eyes and said in his heart, can't you find a better reason? There are so many minions standing outside, isn't it good-looking? But seeing the eldest brother's eyes about to kill, he had to stand up slowly, "I'll urge you, Sister Lin sit slowly." β
While saying that he was leaving, he slowed down, hoping to hear another sentence and a half. I heard it, and what I heard was, "Ulan, if you delay any longer, I'm afraid you won't have time to buy anything." β
Then there was the swift footsteps of the little girl Ulan, and she closed the door considerately.
Daiyu kept her face cold and sat still. Hongyun said a little eagerly: "Sister Lin, I'm really sorry for all these years. β
Hearing him say sorry, Daiyu's tears were almost uncontrollable. She snorted vigorously to suppress the sourness in her nasal cavity, she has always been very grateful to Hongyun and the kindness of the Thirteenth Master. If it weren't for the appearance of the thirteenth master several times, I'm afraid my father wouldn't have finally stood in the camp of the fourth master.
So she is grateful to the Thirteenth Master and Hongyun, and out of feedback, she really wants them to know that no matter what happens to them, she always treats him as a friend and will not change. Who knew that he would have a cold face, refuse to accept her kindness, and not even give a word of explanation.
For so many years, she didn't care on the surface, but she never let go of it in her heart.
Now that I see the main master, the love that has been backlogged for so many years is suddenly released. It's really hard to make it easy for her to make it happen.
"There's nothing to be sorry for, I'm sorry, you are an elder brother, born noble, if you want to ignore people or not, it's up to you, how can others be qualified to say anything. Besides, I can't remember what happened when I was a child. β
Daiyu's feelings gradually subsided, and she said outside: "If we don't serve tea again, we can leave." β
Tea and refreshments were quickly brought in, and Daiyu personally poured a cup for him and another for herself.
Raise your glass and say: "Replace wine with tea, and wish you a bright future." β
After drinking tea and eating refreshments, Daiyu took her leave and left.
When the little girl from Ulan, who was eating and drinking outside, found out, she rushed in, only to see the stupid big brother who was holding the cup tightly and refused to put it down. The Yiren on the other side are long gone.
The little girl shook her head and sighed, "Without me, I really wouldn't be able to achieve anything." After speaking, he looked at his eldest brother with a particularly pitiful gaze.
Hongyun was full of frustration, where did he still have the heart to accompany his sister to go shopping, and lightly threw out a silver ticket of two thousand taels, "Take it, go quickly." β
The little girl Ulan held the silver ticket in her arms and jumped out of the room in only three steps. The eldest brother is a little stupid, but if he turns his face, the silver will fly.
Daiyu came home and rested early, Jia Min wondered, did her daughter go out with her, every time she went out happily, she came back early, and she was not happy.
Before Jia Min had time to recruit her daughter's subordinates to ask, she heard that Mrs. Wang was coming, and she was a little surprised, this second sister-in-law rarely came to the door. Since her daughter became the concubine, she has never entered the Lin family, as if taking the initiative to come to the door is not noble enough.
Why is this time, not every year.
The subordinate added very brightly, "My uncle's newly recognized goddaughter is also here, wearing a hat and not showing her face." β
Mrs. Wang's angry brain was painful, and she was the same as Xia Jingui, thinking that she was a poor relative of the Jia family who had curried favor with the Lin family who used to fight the autumn wind. Jia Min has always been generous, and such things have never happened.
As a result, after asking around, no one said why, so he personally brought Xia Jingui to the door. She had only recognized Xia Jingui for a few days, and she had been seriously drinking, but she was actually bullied by the Lin family. If she doesn't show up, who else will recognize this face.
Jia Min couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Mrs. Wang's angry face, and the little lady wearing a hat entered the inner room, and took off her hat to reveal a miserable face. was shocked, but he couldn't help but ask. Instead, let people serve tea and invite them to a seat.
"Doesn't Mrs. Gu have anything to say?"
Jia Min looked at her in surprise, "My sister-in-law brought such a person to me, didn't she ask me to help ask for a royal doctor." β
"You dare say you don't know?" Madame Wang's voice was sharp, like a fingernail scratching the glass, and it was unpleasantly piercing.
Xia Jingui cried several rounds in the morning, his eyes were swollen and narrowed, and he couldn't help crying again at this time. Her status is obviously getting higher and higher, why did she suffer such humiliation, if she didn't ask for justice, she would still have the cheekiness to go out.
That girl, if she knew whose family it was, she would have to let their family be ruined.
Jia Min retracted his eyes, his face was already cold, and his eyes were as cold as water, "I really don't understand what my sister-in-law said, if you can't say it clearly, you might as well change it to someone who can say it clearly." β
As soon as they came, they were all at once, making a fuss, as if this matter had something to do with them, and so on, could it be Daiyu.
"Your young lady went to the teahouse with a man to drink tea, and when our young lady saw her, she beat her, and even those of us who were slaves were beaten and kicked." The servant woman standing behind Xia Jingui couldn't help it, this Mrs. Wang was really, and she couldn't say a word clearly.
Jia Min put the tea cup down, "Who are you?" β
"I'm from the Xia family." The servant woman still didn't know death, and looked up very proudly, what kind of master and what kind of slave.
"Is Miss Xia's parent?"
"Don't dare, I'm Miss's subordinate." It's not that she is dressed luxuriously, so she misunderstood, and the servant woman still feels very dignified, and she feels very happy.
"The host spoke, did not ask, and the subordinates dared to interject at will, sure enough, it was a merchant, and they didn't know what the rules were. I don't know if it's in other people's homes, but in our family, these servants are all twenty with their mouths, and if they dare to commit it again, they will be dragged out and sold. β
Jia Min hated this person for saying nothing, and looked at Mrs. Wang with hatred, "It seems that my sister-in-law didn't plan to ask if she asked, so she convicted the daughter of the Lin family." It's really majestic, good pomp. β
Although the second room is the princess of the state's mansion, they can't attack the lord, everyone knows that once the old lady is gone, the big house will attack the lord, and they will have to move out. Jia Zheng only has an idle errand on his body, and he has no ability, so he goes out alone, and I am afraid that he can only rely on the mother in the palace to help.
is such a person, and he dares to play majestic in front of himself, no wonder his daughter doesn't like it, it's really a child's eyes are pure, and he can see everything ugly and evil. is not like himself, he is dedicated to his mother's family, and in the end he is not as good as a godfather who recognizes him for silver.
"What else is there to ask, hurry up and ask my niece to hand over the person." Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth, the IOU of the Xia family's 100,000 taels of silver was still there, and she said that she had recognized her godfather, and borrowed the power of the Guogong Mansion to help Xia Jingui marry into a high-ranking family, and the IOU was invalid.
As soon as she started running, her goddaughter's face was beaten like this. It's still a good thing done by her own family, how can this be relied on, it must make her angry. It's just a child, and he doesn't let the Lin family hand over his daughter, what's the difficulty.
"What if I don't pay it?" A delicate female voice came from outside the door, the slave maid had opened the curtain, Daiyu changed into a smoky red dress, and walked in.
"You dare not to hand it in." Xia Jingui was already angry and confused, and he had a seizure on the spot.
"Poof, I really didn't know that the Xia family's courtyard was noble enough to come to the Lin family to spread wildness, if it wasn't for my aunt and uncle, even someone like you would be worthy of our family's door." Daiyu didn't hide the disgust in her eyes at all, she had already torn her face, why bother pretending.
"Daiyu, this is yours, isn't it, she is your cousin, I saw her outside, not to mention defending her, why did she let her be beaten." Mrs. Wang frowned and said softly. Fortunately, her daughter succeeded, otherwise if her son was forced to marry such a poisonous woman, she would really be angry to death.
"Why don't you ask her how she was beaten?" Daiyu looked at Xia Jingui with a smile, with an expression of determination that you dare not say.
Xia Jingui hurriedly said: "What don't you dare to say, I'll go downstairs, you go upstairs, the people around you don't give way to me and beat me, yes or no." β
"Exactly."
When Jia Min heard this, he held his palm tightly, let go again, looked relieved, and began to drink tea.
Xia Jingui said happily: "Godmother, listen, she admitted it herself, it's their fault." β
Mrs. Wang thought that the Lin family would refuse to admit it to the end, but she didn't expect it to be so easy to admit it. In the end, he is still a child, and he can't stand being scared. The expression was also relaxed, "Originally, I shouldn't have said anything in front of your mother, but in the end, I am also your elder, although you are still young, it is really inappropriate to go in and out of a place like a teahouse with a man." β
"The one who went to the teahouse with me was a little girl, but I just met her brother in the teahouse. What is in mind in the heart of the person will see what in the eyes, this kind of thing can be done with a clear conscience, without the need to explain. β
Daiyu sat next to Jia Min, smiling slightly, with a natural calm and generous attitude.
Xia Jingui finally knew why she hated her so much, hated her such a calm posture, and looked at anyone's eyes with a generous look, as if there was nothing in this world worthy of her envy, and there was nothing worthy of her flattery. This makes her hateful, especially annoying.
"Whoever asked you to explain, you just have to hand over the person." Xia Jingui couldn't wait to tear the face in front of her, but she knew that she couldn't move Lin Daiyu. Even with Mrs. Wang's support, it's just a few words to squeeze out, not to mention, words may not be pleased. can only attack that little girl, and her hatred can only be vented on that little girl.
"I'll ask more, what do you want to do if I tell me who she is?" Daiyu asked with some curiosity, her expression at this moment really looked like a naΓ―ve little girl who didn't know anything about the world.
"Of course, it is better for her to live than to die, and her family is ruined." Xia Jingui's face was hideous, but it was a pity that her face was bruised and swollen now, and she could only distinguish that it was a pig's head, which weakened the fierceness on her face.
"Oh, does my aunt approve of it too?" Daiyu looked at Madame Wang again.
"You just need to hand over the person, and we will punish her a little, and we won't kill her." It should be a relative's child, and if she doesn't die, it's okay for her to have nowhere to live.
"My aunt really embarrassed me, for your own good, I think it's better not to say it." Daiyu sighed, making everyone think that she was going to confess to the other party in the next sentence, but suddenly turned around and stopped talking.
Mrs. Wang and Xia Jingui were both furious, and Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Then ask my sister-in-law to share a thing or two, if he knows that his daughter is so domineering outside, I'm afraid it will affect Mrs. Gu." β
"Alas, I'm so scared, I'm obviously for your good, but unfortunately no one appreciates it. In that case, I'll say so. Daiyu smiled, Jia Min shook her head helplessly, knowing that her daughter was playing with her mother's family, but she was not at ease, on the contrary, she was looking forward to it. Sure enough, the love of this thing is getting smoother and smoother the more it grinds.
