Chapter 178: Letters
"Where's your grandfather?"
Seeing Xiangling come in, Daiyu, who had just put down her pen next to the desk, asked with a smile.
Xiangling came in and saw Daiyu sitting there, wearing a cloud-carved silk soft smoke Luo pipa cardigan on top, and a peach blossom cloud cotton brocade skirt below, so she smiled and said, "Miss Lin is really good-looking." ”
Daiyu scolded with a smile when she heard this: "As the saying goes: those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black." You haven't been with your master for a few days, but you have learned his flamboyant tongue. ”
Xiangling smiled coquettishly and said, "Our lord was just called by your lord, saying that the governor was leaving, and asked him to send it off." ”
Daiyu didn't carelessly respond, and asked lightly: "Yesterday, when did your master come back?" How could I vaguely listen that he was causing trouble outside again, and brought a girl back? ”
Xiangling knew a lot, so she picked up what she knew and said, "It's time to come back...... That girl is not known by our father, but by Sister Xiaojing, who seems to be the daughter of an old bustard named Sun Erniang in Yangzhou Mansion when she was young, and seems to be the daughter of the old bustard who opened the Qinglou...... was caught by the eldest son of the Qi family for stealing things, and our lord asked for it back last night, and he only saw it in the morning, and kowtowed to our lord. ”
When Daiyu heard these words, she only sneered, and Dao Jia Qiang was not at ease for a moment, as for Li Jing's father's affair when he was young, she naturally didn't take it to heart and didn't care.
But she didn't care, but Zijuan was half tired in her heart.
In Zijuan's heart, Daiyu is as noble and immaculate as a fairy in the Moon Palace, and she does not eat fireworks in the world.
When he grows up, even if he is married, his husband should be a young man, gentle and affectionate, and a solid family background.
can bless Daiyu all her life without worrying about life, not being disturbed by mundane things, and living a carefree life.
Look at Jia Qiang again......
What appeared around him was either a woman disguised as a man and showed her face outside, or an uncle and aunt who was born as an iron-headed pillar coolie.
It's not that she looks down on these people, but she really doesn't want Daiyu to have a relationship with such people.
If these are barely bearable, then now even the thieves who steal things, the old bustard who opened the Qinglou, have appeared, which simply makes Zijuan anxious.
For a while, his face was gloomy and unconcealable.
Although Xiangling is coquettish, she is not stupid, seeing Zijuan's obviously dislike and worried expression, she wants to say goodbye when she is uneasy.
didn't want Daiyu to say directly: "Don't pay attention to her, she's stunned again." I don't want to think about it, if Brother Qiang didn't know so many people, how could he save my father? Although Brother Qiang has dealings with those people, he hasn't learned badly, so why do you think about it? ”
When Zijuan heard this, she knew that Daiyu's "poisoning" was deep, and it would be difficult to convince her, and she planned to find an opportunity to talk to Aunt Mei to see if there was a way, but she didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Where is I thinking too much, it is clearly Xiangling who is bluffing, and it is the old bustard, and it is a thief, and it is brought back to the house, and when I return to Beijing, the old lady at home knows these things, even the girl can't get a good place, let alone me, a girl?" ”
Daiyu didn't care and smiled faintly: "You don't bluff the old lady, half a year later, I will go back to Beijing with my father, naturally I live at home, and I only go to visit the old lady when I have leisure like Yun'er, as long as you don't chew your tongue and rebel against me, how can the old lady know?" ”
Xiangling suddenly had an idea on the side, remembered Jia Qiang's words, and said seriously: "Zijuan doesn't have to worry about anything, our master said that he and Miss Lin are gentlemen, and he also praised Miss Lin as a gentleman among girls." Besides, you don't have any reason for it. Aren't the old man of the Lin family and Miss Lin smarter than you? If they say let us move out, we can move away, or we will fail their kindness......"
"Ouch! Okay, okay, the more you talk about it, the less it looks! ”
Zijuan looked at Daiyu's face flushed with anger, her body was trembling, she almost didn't kneel down for Xiangling, when did she say something to let people move away?!
Zijuan stomped his feet and begged for mercy: "You really wronged me, I'm just a girl next to the girl, speaking of which I am still from the Jia family, how can I be qualified to drive you out?" I'm just ...... You're really ...... Xiangling, you hurry up and coax our girl, otherwise if she is really annoyed and drives me away, I will have to die in front of you! ”
Xiangling was also bluffed, seeing that Daiyu was angry like this, tears were flowing in her eyes, and she only looked at Zijuan, which looked really bluffing, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Good girl, I'm just talking nonsense, how can you be so angry." Sure enough, I was so angry that we couldn't live anymore, and our lord would scold me, he respected the girl and Master Lin the most......"
Zijuan saw that Daiyu didn't hear it, just looked at her, and panicked, so she knelt down and begged: "The girl looks at my love for a service, believe me this time, no matter how I don't care, I can't do anything to drive people away!" ”
When Daiyu heard this, she remembered the love of these years, her heart softened, she chose to believe her, slowly exhaled her depression, and said quietly: "Today is really the last time, this time it is to make trouble in front of Xiangling, next time if you make trouble in front of Brother Qiang, you still don't let me live......"
Without waiting for Daiyu to say anything, Zijuan burst into tears, and said repeatedly: "No more, no more, don't be annoyed, girl, there is only half a year left, and when I return to the capital, I have to go back to Jia's house, why should the girl drive me away now?" ”
Daiyu's cruel words are naturally angry words, she is such a kind person, Zijuan has taken care of her properly in recent years, thinking about her everywhere, even if she is extremely angry, she can only say two annoying words, no matter what, it is impossible to really drive Zijuan away.
At this time, when he heard that Zijuan really had this thought, he was startled and scolded: "What are you talking about? Since the old lady has given you to me, how can she have any reason to go back? It's not that she can't lack you by her side, you just stay in my Lin family. ”
Seeing Xiangling's uneasy appearance when she thought she was in trouble, Daiyu smiled and said, "You stupid girl, don't you want me to comfort you?" ”
Xiangling shook her head, still didn't dare to speak, afraid of saying the wrong thing again.
Daiyu broke away from this stubble and asked, "Xiaojing, I haven't seen her for a few days." ”
Xiangling hesitated and whispered: "I don't know, I heard that he was helping our master Zhang Luo outside, and he just left again and sent that Sun girl home...... By the way, Sister Xiaojing said at first that she could protect Miss Lin by letting the girl surnamed Sun come to the inner house. Our lord said that it was not suitable, so it was better to let her go home. ”
These words finally made Zijuan nod again and again, a thief from a Qinglou stole it, if he entered the inner house, wouldn't it affect Daiyu's reputation?
But I heard Xiangling say again: "The girl is looking for our master?" Then I'll go looking for him now, or he will go out with Sister Xiaojing to find the silver in a while, and the girl won't see him. ”
"Looking for silver?"
Daiyu frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of silver are you looking for, how do you find it?" ”
Xiangling shook her head and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I just heard Sister Xiaojing say that there are less than ten taels of silver left at home, and the money is about to run out......
The tone is faintly sad and a little tragic.
Seeing this, Daiyu couldn't help but laugh "poof", and the depression blocked in her heart also laughed, and she said angrily: "Sure enough, after following your master for a long time, he also began to make strange appearances." It's hard to say what Brother Qiang can say, but the ability to run a family, you don't need to cry poor? ”
Xue Yan also grinned and said: "Don't be afraid, Xiangling, when you can't get by, come to me to borrow osmanthus oil, and I will lend it to you." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice outside the door: "Can't get by?" I'm just worried that I won't be able to spend enough money in the future, and there will be a time when I can't go on? Snow goose, you better keep your osmanthus oil. ”
"Yikes! Our lord is here! ”
Xiangling heard a stirring voice and shouted happily.
Daiyu also had a smile on her face, but teased Xiangling and said, "But after being separated for a while, you are happy to be like this, and you are not ashamed!" ”
Xiangling only couldn't laugh, and then everyone saw Jia Qiang, who was dressed in a moon-white Confucian shirt, stepping in unhurriedly, with a confident and free smile on her face.
Daiyu was the first to tease: "Bragging again!" Xiangling has said that you don't even have ten taels of silver now, and you are still talking big. ”
Jia Qiang didn't defend either, she only looked at Daiyu's eyes and was stunned, and said, "Why are you crying?" ”
Daiyu smiled, hurriedly avoided her eyes, and said, "Who is crying?" You're crying......"
Xiangling was sincere, and wanted to step forward to explain clearly, but was pulled by Zijuan, and she glanced at her angrily, and threatened: "Don't say it!" Don't say it after you go back, how can you say it to the girls? If you say, we will know you in vain. ”
Xiangling was startled, and asked Jia Qiang in a low voice: "Master, then do I still say?" ”
Before Jia Qiang could speak, Daiyu turned her head and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Xiangling, you dare to rebel?" ”
Xiangling grinned and said, "Never again!" I didn't say a word about what Miss Lin said before. ”
Daiyu snorted, looked at Jia Qiang and smiled: "You are lucky, Bao Yatou's brother made such a battle, and in the end he cheapened you." Xiangling is such a good girl, she is so good-looking, with a little rouge mole in her eyebrows, and her heart is all about you, you have to treat her well, otherwise I will not depend on you. ”
When Jia Qiang heard this, she looked at the teary-eyed Xiangling who was moved, and said with a smile: "This is naturally how it should be, she is my person, and I will take care of her for the rest of my life." ”
Everyone laughed for a while, and Daiyu asked about the matter: "What happened last night, I listened vaguely, you made another fuss outside?" ”
Jia Qiang roughly explained the matter, and Daiyu and the others who listened were all dumbfounded.
Daiyu couldn't figure it out: "What did Bao Yatou's brother do when he came to Yangzhou to look for you?" ”
Jia Qiang chatted with Xue Pan last night, and when she heard Daiyu ask at this time, she sat aside and said with a headache: "Didn't he spend 100,000 taels of silver to go to Fengle Building to redeem the world's first prostitute Hua Xie Yu, and placed it in the house on my Xixiao Street." Brother Xue went to sit there during the day, but he didn't want to be beaten by Zhao Guogong's grandson, and threatened him to release him as soon as possible, otherwise he would be beaten again. The adults in the family didn't have much to do, Zhao Guogong's qualifications were too old, and he was not very reasonable, Brother Xue was afraid, so he ran south to hide and discuss with me how to take revenge. ”
Daiyu was faintly unhappy, and said curiously: "Sister Bao's brother, what does it have to do with you, how could he come to you to help take revenge when he causes trouble?" It doesn't make sense. ”
Jia Qiang wanted to laugh for some reason, but she also knew that if she laughed at this time, her life might be in danger......
He stiffened his face and thought for a while: "Maybe it's because I'm his friend, after all, when I escaped from Ningfu and was in the most difficult situation, it was Brother Xue who sent me a cart of goods and goods, which solved my temporary difficulties." As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring. Now that he is in trouble, I can't see death without help. ”
Daiyu's face was gentle when she heard this, she thought about it, and said curiously: "What about the aunt and the treasure girl, they didn't say anything?" ”
Jia Qiang thought about it, but still felt that it was not easy to deceive people, took out a letter from her arms, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xue wrote a letter and asked me to take care of Brother Xue......
Before the words fell, he saw Daiyu take the letterhead from his hand in a fresh and natural way, open it casually, and sneered while reading.
Jia Qiang: "......"
