"As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea." Daiyu certainly does not want to enter the palace.
Lin Ruhai only has Daiyu as her only flesh and blood. Once she enters the palace, let alone becoming a concubine, even if she becomes a female official, just like Yuanchun, it will be difficult for father and daughter to meet again.
What's more, there is someone worried about Daiyu at this time?
The biggest contributor to Daiyu's gradual recovery was none other than Jia Lian.
While in Yangzhou, Jia Lian gave Daiyu a bowl of seemingly bland "white water chicken noodles" on her birthday. Later, seeing that Daiyu liked it, Jia Lian specially prepared a lot of air-dried white water chicken noodles for her, so that Xue Yan could enjoy it.
I cook it for Daiyu every now and then.
It's exactly what Xue Yan said: "This bowl of noodles doesn't show much, but it has been tormenting people for how many days?"
Daiyu lowered her head, listening to Jia Lian's words "Why should I take your sister Lin away?" She was obviously reluctant to leave. She glanced at Jia Lian lightly, but her cheeks suddenly became hot and she blushed instantly.
Daiyu was afraid of being seen out, so she hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and couldn't stop coughing.
.
This time, Cornelius was frightened, and she quickly supported Daiyu:
"Sister Lin, are you okay?"
Mother Jia loved her granddaughter the most. She quickly stepped forward to support Daiyu, patted her on the back gently and said:
"I, this Yu'er, have been weak since I was a child, just like that Yu'er - eh, where is my precious jade?"
Seeing that no one knew, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to answer:
"I just asked someone to ask Xiren, and I found out that today Feng Ziying invited me to drink. Baoyu had two more drinks when he was happy, and he is sleeping at the moment."
When Jia Mu heard that Baoyu was drunk, she couldn't help complaining:
"Baoyu looks good on the outside, but his body and bones are weak on the inside, and his head is possessed by evil spirits. He needs more and more good health, so how can he withstand drinking?
This Feng Ziying is the same. He only asked Baoyu to have a good laugh, but he only wanted to persuade him to drink. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to ask him to turn around after he got drunk? "
Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade them, and when they heard from outside that dinner was ready, Jia Mu gave up and invited Dogwood to the table.
.
But after dinner, Zhuyu still held on to Daiyu and insisted on going to her Xiaoxiang Pavilion to sit there.
Seeing that Jia Lian was about to leave, he called him to stop, and they all went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion together.
Wang Xifeng also saw that Zhuyu and Jia Lian had known each other for a long time, and felt unhappy.
But Wang Xifeng is the kind of person who is born with a taste for power and cannot live without power. He is more interested in managing affairs and exercising power than in Jia Lian.
She likes to control everything. In other words, her love for Jia Lian must also be included in the category of "desire for control".
As long as she can hold power, be able to dominate others, and always experience the pleasure of managing things, people, and money, she will be like a chicken.
Pregnant? It doesn’t matter!
Husband? I don’t care!
At this time, Wang Xifeng's power completely overshadowed Mrs. Wang's. This feeling that someone was always waiting for her as the mistress to give orders made Wang Xifeng quite intoxicated.
Today, Zhuyu and Fu Qiufang have both moved into the Grand View Garden, especially Zhuyu, the wife, the maid, and the daily companions. Someone has to make arrangements for everything.
Wang Xifeng played tricks and behaved in front of Jia Mu, which made Jia Mu laugh out loud from time to time. She was also busy arranging things from time to time. She was so excited that she almost forgot about staring at Jia Lian.
.
In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zijuan served tea to the three of them.
Cornus officinalis only took one bite and then put it down. She couldn't help but ask:
"Sister Lin, your courtyard is made up of clear springs of bamboo, pear blossoms and bananas, and pink walls and winding corridors. It is indeed very elegant, but the building is a bit small.
It’s just that there are three rooms, one light and two dark, where do your maids and wives live?”
Daiyu smiled and replied:
"I have a Rhododendron by my side, and it is enough for the Snow Geese to follow me all the time. The nanny Wang also follows me all the time.
The remaining four nuns, two nuns, and ten little girls who sweep and serve all live in the three houses at the back of my yard. But the houses are covered by bamboos, so you can't see them.
That’s all.”
Cornelius saw a pen and inkstone on the table under the window, and saw a bookshelf full of books, and said:
"No wonder Sister Lin has a different temperament than ordinary people. The house she lives in is more elegant than my uncle's study. But I can't imitate your bookish temperament even to death.
I envy Sister Lin in my heart, but I can't learn from her. I actually feel that Qingwen and I are in the same boat."
Suddenly, she turned to Jia Lian and said:
"By the way, why don't you see Qingwen following you?"
Jia Lian shook his head and smiled:
"This Grand View Garden is the provincial residence of the Concubine Xian De. Anyone who can live in it must ask for permission. Qingwen is my maid, so naturally she cannot live in the Grand View Garden.
Whenever you want to see her, I just ask her to come see you."
Cornus officinalis immediately stopped drying:
"Why is it so troublesome for me to see Qingwen?
I don’t care, I want her to live with me in the Daguan Building. If Concubine Xian De is not happy, let her talk to me!"
Jia Lian continued to shake his head and said with a smile:
"This garden belongs to Concubine Xiande. It is up to Concubine Xiande to decide whether to let in or not.
But Qingwen is my maid, if you want her to accompany you, you have to ask me whether I agree, right?"
Zhuyu knew that she couldn't compete with Jia Lian in a quarrel, so she immediately turned to pull Daiyu with a pitiful look on her face:
"Sister Lin, please say something to me, otherwise I won't be able to see Qingwen."
Before Daiyu could speak, Jia Lian had already rolled his eyes at Zhuyu:
"Juyu, you are only a few months younger than Miss Lin. You just call me 'Sister Lin' as if you are much younger than Miss Lin. You are really not ashamed."
"The younger one is also a sister! The older one is also a sister!" Zhuyu was not to be outdone, "I even call you Brother Lian."
Daiyu laughed out loud:
"Brother Lian? This is a very affectionate title.
When Sister Shi came a few days later, I told her to follow suit and call her "Brother Lian", but don't call you Brother Lian anymore.
She is so talkative that she calls 'Brother Lian' 'Brother Lian Ai' every time."
Before Jia Lian could speak, Zhuyu had already slapped the table and laughed, pulling Daiyu and saying:
"Yo? It turns out that some people still call him 'Brother Lian'ai'? Which sister is this interesting? I must get to know her!"
Jia Lian couldn't help but grin:
This Zhuyu is already the "Noisy and Silly Sister No. 1", but don't bring in the "Noisy and Silly Sister No. 2" Shi Xiangyun, otherwise there will be an uproar in the Grand View Garden.
Suddenly I heard someone outside say:
"Second Master Bao is here."
Then I heard Baoyu’s voice:
"How is Sister Lin doing today? I've been thinking about you all day."
As he spoke, the man came into the room and faced the three people with six eyes in the room.
.
Baoyu was startled:
"Uh-it turns out...it turns out we have a guest."
Cornel immediately said:
"Is this the second son of the legendary Mr. Zheng?"
Baoyu stared at Dogwood and suddenly saluted hurriedly:
"It's my fault to be rude to a beautiful lady!"
Jia Lian knew that Baoyu would fall ill when he saw a beautiful woman, so he hurriedly introduced:
"Brother Bao, this is Princess Boping, who deigns to come and stay at our house temporarily."
In the end, Baoyu still looked at Dogwood with good eyes and asked with a smile:
"This sister is so beautiful and beautiful. I wonder what her honorific name is?"
If she were any other lady, she would have felt that it was very rude to be asked her name by a man who was neither a relative nor an acquaintance, but Juyu was used to being carefree, so she just said her name.
Baoyu touched his palm and praised:
"It turns out that the word "Cornus" is the word "Cornus" that means "Putting in dogwoods everywhere means one person is missing"! Sister Zhuyu's name is indeed elegant and tight.
May I ask if my sister has a pseudonym? If not, it’s okay. I saw it said in "A Comprehensive Examination of Ancient and Modern Figures"..."
Zhuyu had already heard about Baoyu's many deeds and knew that he was just an embroidered pillow in a pile of makeup. She was too lazy to listen to him showing off in front of her, so she interrupted Baoyu's words rudely:
"I'm close to my other sisters, but I didn't say I wanted to be close to you. I didn't allow you to call me by my name, let alone call me 'sister'.
Even if I don’t need to be called princess here, please call me ‘water girl’ from now on.”
Baoyu was immediately speechless.
Jia Lian thought:
If Baoyu wanted to pick up dogwood, he would be blind. He might as well pick up that "older sister" Fu Qiufang.
Unexpectedly, Fu Qiufang also belonged to Cao Cao. Just as Jia Lian thought about it, she and Baochai had already chased her to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
