Chapter 210: Discussion in the Deep House, Invitation to Watch the Game
"Your Majesty." A middle-aged scribe in the room pondered for a moment and then said: "Those people are still nominally members of the mansion, but they have become somewhat estranged over the years. Should we send more...?"
"It doesn't matter!" The man in rich clothes lowered his head and glanced at the half-written post on the desk, and continued to write until he had copied the entire post.
The scribe took a look and saw that this was one of Wang Youjun's "Seventeen Posts". The words were drawn calmly, clearly and smoothly, but also a little unrestrained, and he couldn't help but praise it.
The man in rich clothes put down his pen and said with a smile: "It is really rare to get a compliment from Mr."
He took two steps back, carefully looked at the calligraphy in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.
The attendant on the side quickly stepped forward and presented the seal.
The man in rich clothes took it, inscribed and stamped it at the end of the calligraphy, then took the handkerchief offered by another attendant, wiped his hands, turned around and sat down.
"It was just an idle chess piece buried back then. There has been no contact for so many years. It is normal for an accident to happen... After all, it is something that cannot be brought to the table."
The man's tone was more disapproving than disdainful.
Someone who had been waiting aside asked hesitantly: "Lord, if this is the case, will that person have any grudge against us?"
"Grudge?" The man in fine clothes smiled evilly, "Is he worthy?"
As he spoke, his willow eyebrows raised slightly, and an invisible pressure surged out instantly. The man was so frightened that he immediately knelt down to admit his mistake and was even charged with death.
"Get up." The man waved with his backhand, but even so, the man on the ground still didn't dare to get up.
The scribe said: "That person is a little too out of touch. It would be good to let him receive some lessons. When the time comes, the Lord will reach out and give him a hand, so that he can understand some importance from now on."
"That's it!" The man looked stunned, then slowly stood up and cupped his hands towards the middle-aged scribe: "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your advice."
Mr. Chu smiled and waved his hand. After sorting out his thoughts, he turned around and said, "Even so, you still need to plan carefully..."
The man in rich clothes raised his hand to stop the scribe's words.
He threw a smile at the scribe: "Just do as the teacher said. You all heard clearly, the teacher's instructions are what I want, okay?"
Everyone in the room responded quickly when they heard the words, and their eyes towards Mr. Chu suddenly became more and more respectful. Even Mr. Chu himself couldn't help but smile smugly after hearing this.
……
"Polo match?" Daiyu was a little confused, and then showed a sudden expression, "Are you talking about the polo match held in the palace?"
Jialan nodded.
Baochai said: "The imperial concubine sent an invitation to the younger generation of Rongning House to watch the game. The old lady also said that she is old and can't get used to such excitement, so we juniors can go on our own." "I just...shouldn't I go...?" Daiyu hesitated a little, and glanced at Sanchun and Baochai who were sitting aside: "Just you guys go."
Tanchun stood up and sat next to Daiyu and said, "Everyone is going, but you are the only one not going? This is the imperial concubine's invitation. You have to give a reason for not going, right?"
Xiangyun smiled and said: "The old lady doesn't go because she is too old and is tired. Sister Lin, if you don't go, is it because you are too old?"
Jia Lan laughed loudly after hearing this, and Sanchun and others also laughed.
"Bah!"
Daiyu was so annoyed that she spat: "You open your mouth and speak in a strange tone, you know how to say such glib and offensive words!"
Xiangyun seemed to have learned a lot about bickering. He didn't get angry when Daiyu teased him. He just kept teasing her, and Daiyu got angry and wanted to leave.
"Zi'er is anxious." Baochai stood up and held her hand, "We all know that you just like to be quiet."
"Yeah." Daiyu nodded slightly, she just subconsciously didn't want to go to crowded places.
Baochai took Daiyu and sat down again: "We all know that you like peace and quiet, but don't worry, let's go to a polo match and go in and out together, so you won't be tired."
After a pause, Baochai said again: "Besides, Brother Lang is going too. With him protecting everyone, there is nothing to be afraid of."
After saying that, Baochai smiled slightly at Jia Lan.
Strange.
Daiyu was startled, a little surprised by the sudden change in attitude between Baochai and Jia Lan, and glanced at Jia Lan subconsciously.
Jia Lan was also a little surprised. Baochai had never interacted with him like this before, but he immediately reacted and showed a bit of surprise when he figured out what was going on.
Daiyu, who didn't see anything famous, lowered her head unhappily, holding on to the handkerchief tightly.
When Baochai saw this, he glanced at Jia Lan cryptically.
Jia Lan pretended not to see anything, but was secretly laughing in his heart.
After a pause, he said to Daiyu: "Aunt Lin, you have to go this time."
Daiyu raised her head and glanced at Jia Lan, her tone a little unhappy, and asked: "Why do I have to go?"
"You promised."
Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and her smart and delicate eyes rolled around: "When did I promise?"
"Just a few days ago, I wanted to go shopping on the street and invited you to visit the bookstore. You said you must go next time."
Daiyu said "Ah" and was dumbfounded.
She did say this...
But when she saw Jialan's proud look, Daiyu was immediately unconvinced. She wanted to be strong and retorted immediately: "You want me to go, but I won't go. I just said I would stay at home with my grandmother. What do you want to say?"
When I’m older, I’ll let you go!”
Everyone laughed. It had been a long time since they had seen Daiyu lose her temper.
To be honest, Lin Daiyu is not a person who likes to be petty. On the contrary, she is a generous person.
To say that Daiyu is petty is simply to point out the shortcomings of Daiyu's eccentric character. However, looking at the original work, whenever Daiyu gets angry, it is actually mostly Daiyu who defends her under certain circumstances.
An expression of self-esteem.
Living under the fence, both parents died.
This is a true portrayal of Lin Daiyu who was under ten years old. So many modern psychological research and humanistic care can still cause so many problems. How old is Daiyu? Does this mean she has a perverse personality?
In fact, in the middle and later stages of the original work, Daiyu's sadness and petulance were mostly related to Jia Baoyu's words and deeds.
Just because she regards Baoyu as her spiritual sustenance.
A girl in love is always petty, let alone the Fairy Jiangzhu who is determined to repay her kindness with tears?
Except for Baoyu, Daiyu was extremely kind to others at other times. For example, when Xiangling was learning a poem, even Baochai was reluctant to learn poetry from Xiangling. Only Daiyu was willing to teach her step by step, which shows her enthusiasm and sincerity.
Jia Lan laughed and said lightly: "Aunt Lin, if you don't want to go anywhere else, it's fine. At worst, I will follow Liu Xuande's example and ask you to come out. But for this polo match, Aunt Lin has no choice but to go.
”
"Ha~~" Daiyu, who was wearing a gauze red thin coat, raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and sneered, then straightened her body and looked directly at Jia Lan with her beautiful eyes.
"Young lady, I would like to hear what our Mr. Jie Yuanlang has to say?"
