Chapter Eighty-Five: The Snow Queen Encounters Like a Fairy
Since discussing the marriage with Lin Ruhai, Lu Jing has been more diligent every day, spending most of his time in the room to study, wanting to get a good ranking in Jinkebo, in order to match Daiyu's talent.
During the study, sometimes when I saw a good poem or sentence, I would copy a copy and send it to Daiyu.
Thinking that Daiyu was weak and prone to cold, Lu Jing gave Daiyu a set of ermine wool coats, duck down clothes, hand stoves, foot stoves and other heating equipment he had designed before.
In order to enhance Daiyu's physique, Lu Jing asked people to constantly search for sheep after giving birth from around the capital, and raised them in the Zhuangzi outside the city, so that the farmers could send fresh goat milk every day.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Goat milk is sweet and warm, non-toxic, moistens the heart and lungs, and nourishes the lungs and invigorates qi." ”
"Food and Doctor's Heart" has a cloud: "Goat milk is good for qi and strengthens the body, and can cure the disease of body weakness." ”
The nutritional value of goat milk is very high, but goat milk can not be mixed with drugs and acidic food, after drinking goat milk, you need to wait for half an hour before drinking tea, and you can not boil goat milk with sugar when boiling, nor can you put sugar when it is just cooked.
Everyone was not used to drinking goat milk, so Lu Jing asked the cook to add honey and a small amount of sucrose to the cooked goat milk to improve the taste of goat milk, so that his sister, Daiyu, Yinglian and others drank it every morning and evening, and the maids and grandmothers in the house also had a share.
After Lin Daiyu received these gifts, she felt both sweet and shy in her heart, and often wrote some poems or made some needlework in return.
After Lu Jing received the poems written by Daiyu, he was quite happy, and now there is no desolate and sad sorrow in Daiyu's poems, but a little more joy and comfort for her little daughter.
The eyes are smiling and ushering in love, and the heart is very clear.
Lin Daiyu flipped through the few scripts that Lu Jing had just sent, and a smile appeared on her face from time to time.
Zijuan couldn't help but quip: "Uncle Lu is really interested in the girl, and he was afraid that the girl would be stuffy in the room in the winter, so he specially sent a few scripts over." ”
Honglu also smiled when she heard this: "It's not just a script, what Uncle Lu has sent in the past few days is not something that makes the girl laugh for a long time." ”
Lin Daiyu was sweet in her heart, and suddenly heard the jokes of the two maids, her face suddenly blushed, and she scolded: "You two little hooves are dead, what nonsense." ”
"What the slaves and maids said is also the truth, Uncle Lu is so considerate to the girl, we are in front of the girl, say a few good words for Uncle Lu!" Zijuan hurriedly laughed.
Hongyu knew that Daiyu was a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, so she also smiled and said, "Yes, let's just take advantage of the girl's happiness and say a few words." ”
When Lin Daiyu heard the two mention Lu Jing, her heart was crisp, and her face became more and more blushing.
Zijuan and Honglu knew that Daiyu was thin-skinned, and seeing this situation, they didn't wait for Daiyu to speak again, so they smiled and walked away.
Zijuan walked up to the parrot and fed the nuts for a few moments, and the parrot immediately shouted happily: "Yanyan is returning, Yanyan is returning!" ”
Lin Daiyu's face was flushed when she heard this, and she suddenly stood up, pointing at the parrot, purple juan, and red cuckoo and scolded: "You guys, when did you teach it to say this?" ”
Zijuan replied with a smile: "The girl has wronged us, how can we teach it to say this, the slaves and maids guess that it should be this parrot who looks at the girl every day and laughs, perceives the girl's mind, and comes up with it himself, right?" ”
After Zijuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh coquettishly, and even the snow goose who was holding the stove for Daiyu on the side laughed wildly.
"Okay, now you're starting to fool me, I think you're too idle, and you all have the leisure to teach parrots to say such narrow things, see if I don't tear your mouths!" Lin Daiyu said, and she was going to catch Zijuan and Hongzhi.
"Good girl, this is an auspicious word!" Snow Goose interjected.
Lin Daiyu pinched the snow cheeks of the snow goose: "When did your little hooves become so sharp?" ”
Xue Yan was serious and asked rhetorically: "Good girl, isn't it auspicious?" ”
"Okay, you are all going to rebel, I can't cure you, you all give me out." Lin Daiyu covered her face with a handkerchief and said in shame.
The three of them hurriedly smiled and exited Daiyu's boudoir, and after Lin Daiyu heard the sound of the door closing, she hurriedly took the handkerchief away, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
On the eighth day of December, it snowed again in the capital.
After the snow stopped, Lin Ruhai invited Lu Jing, Lin Gu, and Lin Chen to drink and enjoy the snow scene.
Lu Zhiyu looked at the jade leaves in the garden after the snow, pink makeup and jade bricks, among which the red plum is proud of the snow, the pine and bamboo are verdant, and the scenery is very good, so she invited Daiyu to come over the house to enjoy the snow.
Lin Daiyu was afraid that she wouldn't want to go over when she saw Lu Jing, but when she heard that Lu Jing was invited into her house by her father, she couldn't bear Lu Zhiyu's plea and agreed.
Before Lin Daiyu entered the garden, she was attracted by the name engraved on it, and saw the three big characters 'Zhuzhu Garden' written on it.
Daiyu suddenly thought of the poem Lu Jing wrote for her, calling her a pearl, and suddenly felt ashamed and sweet.
Lu Zhiyu looked at Daiyu's shy expression, and said with a playful smile: "Good sister, are you familiar with the name of this garden?" ”
A few days ago, when Lu Jing asked people to change it to Jiangzhu Garden, Lu Zhiyu noticed that this matter was unusual, and remembered that these days, her brother always asked her to talk to Daiyu, and Daiyu's sister always looked shy every time she mentioned her brother, so she guessed that something should have happened between her brother and Daiyu that she didn't know.
"It's a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it for a while?" Lin Daiyu pretended not to know shyly.
"Hee-hee, good sister, don't you have anything to say to your sister?" Lu Zhiyu said with a smile, becoming more and more sure that her brother and Daiyu had something to hide from her.
"Say what?" Daiyu continued to pretend to be confused.
"Tell me about you and your brother!" Lu Zhiyu said with a smile.
"If you talk nonsense, I'll go back!" Lin Daiyu looked at the maid beside the two of them, and said anxiously.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking!" Lu Zhiyu said busily, and then pulled Daiyu and began to enjoy the scenery in the garden.
After appreciating the analysis, Lu Zhiyu forcibly pulled Daiyu to her boudoir, and after driving everyone else out, she hugged Daiyu Jiao and smiled: "Good sister! ”
"Hmm!" Daiyu replied in a low voice, not knowing what tricks Lu Zhiyu was going to play.
Lu Zhiyu's expression suddenly changed, and she said, "Sister, please do something!" ”
Lin Daiyu saw that Lu Zhiyu suddenly became serious, and hurriedly said: "Sister can say anything about it, my sister can definitely do it." ”
"I want to beg my sister to be my sister-in-law!" Lu Zhiyu's expression changed, and she suddenly said with a smile.
When Lin Daiyu heard the three words of sister-in-law, her face immediately turned red with shame, and she said in annoyance: "Phew, you girl, see that I don't tear your mouth and let you talk nonsense!" ”
"Good sister, don't be angry, my sister is wrong." Lu Zhiyu hurriedly hugged Daiyu and admitted her mistake.
After Daiyu got better, he continued: "Sister, in fact, what I just said is serious, my brother has not been easy these years, and there is no one in the house who can make decisions for my brother, I see that the two of you have been a little different recently, and you are hiding it from me, I just want to test my sister's meaning, if my sister is to blame, I can punish my sister as much as possible!" ”
Lu Zhiyu began to shed tears as she spoke, since she learned that her second uncle's cousin and cousin were married, and her brother's marriage had not moved, she was a little anxious.
Lin Daiyu hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Lu Zhiyu's tears, and comforted at the same time: "Good sister, don't cry, sister doesn't blame you!" ”
"Thank you, sister!" Lu Zhiyu said gratefully.
"Silly girl, thank you!" Lin Daiyu said distressedly.
Then Lu Zhiyu pestered Daiyu and asked her several times, and Daiyu told her about the two of them shyly and timidly.
"Then can I call my sister and sister-in-law?" Lu Zhiyu whispered, the good sister has become a little sister-in-law, and she is also very happy.
She has a very deep relationship with her brother, and she has always felt that her brother is good everywhere, and naturally she must have a sister-in-law who is good everywhere, Sister Lin is beautiful and beautiful, her words and demeanors are all square and round, and she is not a strong temperament, if she really becomes a family, it is naturally the best.
"No, you can't!" Daiyu refused.
Lu Zhiyu didn't care about Daiyu's refusal, but complained: "Sister, look, I'm still living in this mansion, and my brother changed the name of the garden. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, how could my cousin chase you!" Lin Daiyu said angrily.
"Good sister, if my brother bullies me in the future, you have to stand on my side!" Lu Zhiyu pretended to be aggrieved and begged.
"You girl, the more you talk, the more you don't talk!" Lin Daiyu blamed.
Lu Zhiyu grinned after hearing this, and then talked to Daiyu about Lu Jing's incident a few days ago.
After the banquet in the Lin Mansion, after Lu Jing returned home, he heard that Daiyu had just enjoyed the snow scene in the garden, and now in his sister's courtyard, he came to the garden to hang out, and suddenly heard footsteps, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Daiyu.
After Lin Daiyu left from Lu Zhiyu, she was worried that she would bump into Lu Jing and wanted to enjoy the snow scenery again on the way, so she walked back from the garden, not wanting to meet Lu Jing unexpectedly here.
Lu Jing saw that Daiyu was wearing cloud-red sheepskin boots, covered with a crane in a white fox with a big red feather veil, and tied a blue-gold and shining green double-ring four-fold Ruyi silk, delicate and bright, with a beautiful appearance, like a fairy in the snow, his heart fluttered, and he was stunned for a while.
Lin Daiyu was extremely shy when she met Lu Jing, but at this time, she was even more at a loss when she saw Lu Jing looking at her blankly.
Zijuan and Xue Yan saw Lu Jing staring at Daiyu obsessively, and hurriedly raised their voices and said, "The slave has seen Uncle Lu!" ”
When Lu Jing heard the voices of the two, he came back to his senses and said busily: "Sister Lin wants to go back?" ”
Lin Daiyu and Lu Jing glanced at each other, hurriedly looked away shyly, and said in a low voice: "It's a little late, Daiyu still has some things to do today, so I'll go back first!" ”
"Why did you bring the two Zijuan, although the two mansions are next to each other, they have to bring a few more people to protect their sister!" Lu Jing said with concern.
"Mama Li, they are waiting outside the garden!" Lin Daiyu lowered her head and replied.
"Well, that's good, a few days ago I harvested a five-hundred-year-old ginseng plant, thinking that my sister is weak, and I want to send it to my sister, I don't want to meet it just in time, I will send someone to send it to my sister in a while!"
"Daiyu Xie cousin cares!" Lin Daiyu was stunned and said: "Daiyu is already good now, cousin might as well keep it for himself!" ”
"I don't need it, it's still my sister's body that matters." Lu Jing said with a smile, then saw that the weather was cold, worried that Daiyu would be frozen, and hurriedly said: "It's windy outside, I won't delay my sister!" ”
"Daiyu has said goodbye, and my cousin should take care of his body!" Lin Daiyu was embarrassed by Lu Jing's face, and hurriedly said goodbye.
After walking a few steps, he looked back at Lu Jing, only to see that Lu Jing was still stupidly staying in place and looking at her, hurriedly turning his head, the deer in his heart was bumping, and he was busy leaving with Zijuan and Snow Goose.
Lin Daiyu went all the way back to Lin's house and walked quickly back to her room, her face still burning with shame.
Zijuan looked at Daiyu's expression, and joked with Xue Yan: "The girl is becoming more and more charming now, Uncle Lu was fascinated by what he saw just now!" ”
"yes, you don't even roll your eyes!" Xue Yan echoed: "The girl is so good-looking, if I were a man, I would be fascinated!" ”
"You two little hooves, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Daiyu said in shame, and then thought of Lu Jing's eyes looking at her, and felt a burst of joy in her heart, and hurriedly drove Zijuan and Xue Yan out, staying in the room alone, constantly recalling the scene just now.
Lu Jing saw Daiyu go away, so he asked Youxia and Qingqiu to send the ginseng to Daiyu, and it didn't take long for Youxia and Qingqiu to come back, and they also brought back the Luopa that Lin Daiyu gave back.
It reads: Don't write words and verses, don't write poems, one side of Supa sends his heart.
After Lu Jing looked at it for a while, he added two sentences after it: I know that I look upside down, and the horizontal silk is also the vertical silk.
