Chapter 23 Receiving Gifts and Returning Gifts II
In the evening, Lin Ruhai came back and told Daiyu that Huang Jiyun asked the little maid Baizhu to send Daiyu a gift back, and Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard it. The gifts Huang Jiyun gives every year are all exquisite and chic, and they always win Daiyu's heart.
Seeing Daiyu like this, Lin Ruhai said with some surprise: "Didn't my father give Yu'er a gift?" Daiyu didn't hear it, and hurriedly asked, "What about the Baizhu people?" Where is the master's gift to Yu'er? Take it out and let Yu'er take a look. Seeing Daiyu like this, Lin Ruhai also sighed, and said angrily in his heart, let Huang Jiyun rob his daughter for nothing, but he still took out a palm-sized box from his sleeve.
Daiyu took the box and opened it to see that it was a small boat carved with walnut shells, no more than an inch long, with a black canopy shape, and four figures: an old man in a cloth sat at the stern of the boat, a boy stood behind him holding a big fish in his arms, and two boys played in the bow of the boat. The characters are vivid and exquisite.
In an instant, Daiyu couldn't put it down, and she still muttered in her mouth: "There are obviously KitKat people who say that Wang Shuyuan is far away, and he can use the diameter of the wood for the palace, utensils, people, as well as birds, beasts, wood and stones, regardless of the situation, each with its own mood." Taste the rest of the nuclear boat one, cover the big Su pan red cliff cloud ......"
Jia Min saw that Lin Ruhai's face was not good, and that Daiyu was full of joy, so she couldn't help but come over and ask, "Yu'er deceived the master, what kind of baby?" Look at the old man's reluctance, and he won't be with your father soon. Daiyu heard Jia Min speak, and didn't notice what Jia Min said, so she said: "Mother, come and see, what about the master's birthday gift to Yu'er~ It's no worse than what is in "The Story of the Nuclear Boat". His eyes were intently looking at the boat in his hand, and the joy on his face couldn't be hidden, of course, Daiyu didn't plan to hide it.
Lin Ruhai was even more dissatisfied when he heard this: "It's just a gadget to coax you to play, I really haven't seen a good one." As soon as Jia Min heard this, she laughed out loud, and when she saw Lin Ruhai's face darkening, she hurriedly said: "Yu'er will also show her mother, what a wonderful and delicate thing." Daiyu was busy and happily handed it to Jia Min, Jia Min saw that it was really exquisite, the old man's hand holding the fishing rod, the wrinkles on it, the fishing rod in his hand, and the fishing line on the fishing rod were clearly visible, not to mention the eyebrows and eyes of the boy next to him, that is, the hair was visible, which can be said to be the meaning of the whole thing, and the fish in his arms was more like a living, as if he would jump into the water if he was not careful, so that the people who watched him sweated for the boy.
Jia Min glanced at Lin Ruhai and deliberately frowned: "Sure enough, it's not good, go back and look for a good one for Yu'er." I don't have to make people think that our Yu'er has no knowledge, and she treats everything as a treasure. As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruhai choked. Daiyu also came to her senses and said happily: "Then Yu'er is waiting for Daddy to find a good one for Yu'er." The hand hurriedly took his boat from Jia Min's hand and put it in the box. continued: "This jade is collected first. After speaking, without waiting for Lin Ruhai to respond, he turned around and ran out, which made Jia Min laugh again.
At this time, Jia Lian came back, cleaned up and asked people to move all the lacquerware they bought today to the upper room. Lin Ruhai and his wife saw that Jia Lian was holding three boxes, and Mama Zhao was also holding large and small boxes to follow, and there were a few rough envoys behind them carrying two big guys wrapped in silk cloth, and they were very surprised and hurriedly looked over, Kapok and Qiluo also came to help, and then took the things in Jia Lian and Mama Zhao's hands.
Lin Ruhai smiled: "Where has Lian'er gone?" How is this stuff? Jia Lian hurriedly replied: "Seeing that the weather was fine in the day, I walked around the street, and then went to the Slender West Lake outside the city for a walk." Lin Ruhai nodded, but at this time, Jia Min smiled and said: "Lian'er brought me a lot of things in one day, and I am afraid that the shops in Yangzhou City will be closed if I go out for a few more days." I just don't know if the fish in the Slender West Lake were caught by Lian'er? As soon as Jia Min finished speaking, Lin Ruhai burst out laughing, feeling very out of shape, and hurriedly clenched his fists and coughed a few times before he eased up.
Jia Lian's face turned red all of a sudden, no one had made such fun with him in Beijing before, even if he was busy with his studies all day in Gusu, he didn't have much chance to laugh with Jia Min and others. It's the first time I've been ridiculed by Jia Min like this. He was originally fair-skinned, and this redness can be imagined. Jia Min was even more happy when he saw it. Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Lian's face was about to turn red and bleed, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What are all these things, so many big boxes and small boxes?" Jia Lian seemed to have been pardoned, and quickly opened the boxes one by one, and then saw that Daiyu was not there, and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't my sister see me?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Daiyu walk in, smiling behind him, and Zhixuan was still holding a few "backpacks".
Speaking of this backpack, there is a story, last year Jia Lian went to Jinling to catch the exam, Daiyu saw that he packed a car with a large bag and a small package, everything was wrapped in cloth, and then he remembered to make a backpack, when Huang Jiyun went to Jinling, Daiyu took out the backpack he made and asked Dendrobium to load clothes for Huang Jiyun. At that time, Huang Jiyun also laughed at Daiyu's threads for not hiding well, I was afraid that if I couldn't get to Jinling, I should miss all the things, who would have thought that it would be very convenient to use it later, and every time Huang Jiyun came back, he would take a few backpacks from Daiyu to the past, and Dendrobium Baizhu also felt that this backpack was much easier and more convenient than the baggage. Gradually, the whole family began to use this backpack, of course, it can't all be made of Daiyu, this backpack is also simple, most of the people who know how to needle and thread will learn it. Even Aunt Luo often praised Daiyu's ingenuity, especially the handbags made a few years ago, which were praised by Aunt Luo.
When Jia Lian saw Daiyu coming in, he took four boxes, and stepped forward to Daiyu with some shaking: "It's good to see you on the street today, and I picked out two gadgets for my cousin, I think my cousin will like it." Daiyu took it and opened it, a red Sanskrit lotus leaf plate, a black lacquer inlaid shell snail fine flower blooming rich treasure chest, a set of black lacquer painted four gentlemen's tea mats, and a colorful lady picture makeup are all fine and elegant good things, so she smiled at Jia Min and said: "I just said that this is my own brother, what kind of cousin is there?" Even when I go to the street, I think about Yu'er, and the things I pick are all kind. After speaking, he said to Jia Lian Yifu: "Yu'er thanked my brother here." Before my sister-in-law entered the door, my brother had to hurt Yu'er more. After saying that, he also laughed, Jia Lian was even more blushing and could be compared to a monkey's butt, compared with Daiyu, Jia Min's jokes before were really not enough.
Jia Min glared at Daiyu and said, "What did the girl's family say?" No shame. Seeing that Daiyu was criticized, Jia Lian hurriedly blushed and said, "My sister is always my sister." "It's not called cousin anymore. It was extremely pleasant to hear in Lin Ruhai's ears, and he nodded busily and said, "Lian'er has to remember what he said today, but the old man has written it down." If you forget the old man in the future, you won't follow it. Jia Lian hurriedly bowed down.
Jia Min saw that Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian had serious expressions and hurriedly interjected: "Lian'er is not going to take out the filial piety to me soon, could it be that it is all for your sister?" Said deliberately grimacing. Jia Lian was busy opening a large round box of red carved lacquer garden leisure pictures selected for Jia Min, a pair of red double-layer peony pomegranate plates, and a pair of copper tires and red carved Guanyin vases. He also took out a pair of silver silk stickers and shellfish snails and four table screens selected for Lin Ruhai, and a red carved bamboo seal box.
Jia Min deliberately pursed his mouth when he saw it: "It can be seen that I still love your sister the most." He turned to Lin Ruhai and said, "Master, look at it, but you understand?" Yu'er has four pieces, I have three, although the master only got two, the table screen is very exquisite. Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard this: "It's a shame that you are an elder, and you still care about these things with the children, I look at the peony pomegranate plate is a good one." Jia Min laughed as soon as he heard this.
Daiyu saw that there were two other large pieces wrapped in silk cloth, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of good thing is that?" My brother didn't take it out to his mother soon, so we all had to follow the sore teeth. After Daiyu said this, Kapok Qiluo also twisted his head to the side, thinking that he couldn't bear to laugh and endure hard.
After hearing this, the corners of Jia Lian's mouth showed color, and he hurriedly opened the fan-shaped interstitial, only to see that the hibiscus flowers were brilliant, the butterflies were lifelike, and what was even more rare was that the base was carved from a whole piece of ebony. If it is the others, it is not much more expensive, but this ebony is also known as a sacred wood, and the ancients said: "A family with half a square of ebony is better than a box of treasures." The auspicious clouds are even softer and delicate, and the pulp is also excellent. looked at Jia Min enviously and said: "It can be seen that my brother is still partial to his mother, and it is extremely rare to see that the seat is bare." Jia Min looked at it with a smile on his face, and said to Kapok with joy: "Quickly wrap me up and lock it in the warehouse, so as not to be robbed." After saying that, everyone in the room laughed.
Jia Lian opened the last one with his own hands, it is also a screen, but it is a red six screens, the screen frame is carved with hollow 10,000 characters Ruyi pattern, the screen core is painted with blue lotus red lotus, and there are dragonflies interspersed between the lotus flowers, some are flying, a little water passes, and what is even better is that there is one standing on the lotus leaf, and there are more on the last fan: the small lotus has already shown the sharp corners and dragonflies have already stood on the first two small poems. It's very bright but elegant. I couldn't take my eyes off Daiyu when I saw it.
Seeing Daiyu's expression, Jia Min immediately said, "This is in my room, and I am happy when I look at it." After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Daiyu and glanced at Jia Lian again. Jia Lian's face turned red, but he couldn't speak, so he had to lower his head and squint at Daiyu, who was even more reluctant to look at the screen and was reluctant to turn his eyes.
As soon as Lin Ruhai saw them, he smiled and pulled Jia Min over to sit down and said, "How old are you?" Still making a fuss like a child, are you robbing things with children like this? Jia Min smiled: "Lian'er didn't say that it wasn't for me." After speaking, he turned his head to Jia Lian and said, "Lian'er, you said, but you bought it to honor my aunt?" Jia Lian scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled, but did not speak.
Is there anything Daiyu doesn't understand when she sees this? Quitting immediately! Frowning, he tilted his head and said to Lin Ruhai: "Daddy Xian'er also said that I haven't seen anything good, and he wants to find a good one for me." Why don't you find one for your mother first? When Lin Ruhai heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Although Jia Lian didn't know the previous paragraph, Daiyu's small appearance was really gratifying, and she laughed along. Even Jia Min smiled and said, "It can be seen that he has no conscience." After speaking, he reached out and nodded Daiyu's smooth forehead.
A few people were laughing, and the green calyx had already prepared dinner before it was accepted. Now that Daiyu is seven years old, she should eat at separate tables, but everyone is used to eating at the same table, and no one even thinks of this stubble. A few people are still eating at the same table, and they don't need to be served, they still do it themselves, Daiyu keeps giving Jia Minlin Ruhai and Jia Lian cloth dishes. It is also a pleasure to eat.
After eating, and back to the hall, Daiyu hurriedly asked where Baizhu was now, knowing that he was relieved to be with Lin An, and asked Hanxiao to take the backpack, and everyone remembered that when Daiyu came in before, didn't Hanxiao Zhixuan and the two take several backpacks? Seeing Daiyu take it out, she turned her head.
Daiyu first opened one and inside was a moon-white cloud brocade embroidered water cloud pattern Confucian shirt, a moon white embroidered cloud pattern tunic of the same color, and a pair of blue satin thick-bottomed water cloud small court boots. At first sight, I knew that it was for Jia Lian. Jia Lian couldn't hide the joy on his face. Look at the embroidery is extremely fine, even Mama Zhao on the side was moved with red eyes, since the first wife went, for many years, in the past two years, Daiyu has made one or two sets of new clothes for Jia Lian every season, not that Jia Lian has no clothes to wear, the key is this intention, no wonder Jia Lian thinks about this sister everywhere, that is, Jia Lian's own sister in Jingli The second girl Yingchun does not have this heart.
Daiyu handed it to Jia Lian with the backpack, and opened a backpack and took it out to see that it was a moon white cloud satin cloud sleeve gown, the cuffs were embroidered with a large cluster of peony flowers, that is, the hem of the knee is also petal-shaped, not like the ordinary style of the edge, the hem of the placket and the collar are all red, pink, apricot yellow, goose yellow embroidered with a circle of small peonies, even the leaves are green to emerald green fine abnormal. There are also embroidered rich flowers and peonies. A pleated skirt of green cicada wing yarn, a pair of rose-colored embroidered white peony tunics, and a pair of soft-soled hibiscus shoes. Huanhuan handed it to Jia Min. Jia Min likes something in his hand, and he can't get enough of it. Lin Ruhai only glanced at the side and picked up the teacup, but his eyes quietly slanted over to stare at Daiyu's remaining three backpacks.
Daiyu didn't hesitate to open another one, pulled it out and opened it to see a moon-white Suluo embroidered goose yellow magnolia gown. There was no need to take out the contents again, Daiyu quickly folded them up again and stuffed them back into her bag. Lin Ruhai moved his lips but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Daiyu took another backpack and opened it, she took out a moon-white cloud brocade placket with wide sleeves and a scarlet thin edge embroidered swaska-patterned robe, Lin Ruhai was very satisfied, but before she could hide her smile, Daiyu folded it again and stuffed it back. At this time, Lin Ruhai said a little breathlessly: "What have you done, take it out and take a look, you don't have to hide it." Not to mention Daiyu and Jia Lian, even Jia Min didn't expect Lin Ruhai to say such a sentence at this time, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, he felt out of his temper and hurriedly clenched his fists to cover his mouth and coughed lightly twice, and hurriedly served a tea cup to cover up.
Daiyu also smiled: "Xian'er's set was made for Aunt Luo, and this set was made for the master, and it happened that Baizhu came back and asked him to bring it to the master." Lin Ruhai was not happy when he heard this, "Why are you doing this?" It's not like there are no needles and threads in the house, and I don't have to tire my eyes. Daiyu knew that Lin Ruhai was eating it and didn't say anything, so she only put the backpack well. Jia Lian also heard the taste, and hurriedly lowered his head to cover up, only Jia Min smiled out very facelessly: "Master, is this distressed Yu'er?" Or do you think you have all of them, so you can't get over it without the face of the master? ”
As soon as Jia Min finished speaking, Lin Ruhai became angry: "Why is there a shortage of me?" Yu'er! You think you're going to be missing Daddy? Daiyu didn't smile when she saw this anger, and hurriedly smiled and put out the fire: "Even if you lack Yu'er, you won't lack your father." Aren't you looking for this? After speaking, he opened the last backpack, and took out a moon-white cloud brocade embroidered Ruyi pattern Confucian shirt, full of emerald thin edges, an emerald tunic embroidered moon white Zhilan, a blessing bottom scattered embroidered moon white Zhilan trousers, a dark green embroidered moon white edge embroidered vanilla purse, a pair of thousands of thick blue satin court boots, and a dark green rolling gold embroidered green bamboo cloak. There are two more than Jia Min and Jia Lian, which made Lin Ruhai smile, and couldn't stop saying: "Okay, it's worthy of being my daughter!" Haha~"I can't take care of the demeanor now. It made Jia Min glare at him fiercely, and he didn't care, everyone in the room laughed, and even the maid next to him laughed. After laughing for a while, he dispersed.
