The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 334
"Miss Lin..."

Just when Daiyu was thinking a lot, bearing the tenderness and consideration Jia Lian brought her, a woman's voice came from the main door.

Daiyu hastily stepped back two steps, not daring to let others see her closeness with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian also folded the handkerchief in his hand, and when he saw that Daiyu had gone away, he copied it into his sleeve.

Then, Jia Lian's eyes casually glanced at Zhou Rui's family who came in from the door.

"What are you here for?"

Jia Lian saw what Zhou Rui's family was carrying at a glance, and immediately guessed the purpose of Zhou Rui's family's visit, so his tone was a bit unfriendly.

Zhou Rui's family didn't expect Jia Lian to be in the house, and after hastily saying hello, Fang smiled and said, "The servant is ordered by his wife to bring something to Miss Lin.

This is a stone mouse bought by my wife from the West Market on a special trip.

The wife said that Baoyu was ignorant and offended the girl, so she asked her to be more tolerant.

This stone mouse was bought by my wife as a compensation for Baoyu. Miss, look, how beautiful this one is. Do you like it? "

Zhou Rui's family thought that what they said was impeccable, but unexpectedly, when Daiyu heard this, the tears that had just disappeared suddenly filled up again.

She didn't look at the squirrel in the cage, but just looked at Jia Lian.

Daiyu is so sensitive, she almost realized the deep meaning immediately after listening to what Zhou Rui's family said.

She felt aggrieved because she had a conflict with Jia Baoyu in the morning, and Mrs. Wang sent her a squirrel at noon.

As Mrs. Wang's elder, it seems to be saying: My son broke your things, I bought it to compensate you, so, it's okay.

Although Zhou Rui's family did not say so, in the eyes of others, there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Wang's actions.

Even others would praise Mrs. Wang for being careful and fair in her actions, as well as being compassionate to her elders.

In fact, there is another case here.

The year Baochai entered the capital, Zhou Rui's family sent palace flowers to the girls and grandmothers in Rongguo Mansion because of Aunt Xue.

Because when they were finally sent to Daiyu's house, only the last two colors were not good-looking.Daiyu felt that she was underestimated, so she directly refused to accept it, and even robbed Zhou Rui's family of a sentence, which made Zhou Rui's family not feel very good about Daiyu from then on.

But Zhou Rui's family knew Mrs. Wang's thoughts very well.

Seeing that Daiyu doesn't please Mrs. Wang, she naturally felt a little gloating in her heart, and the form of language inevitably brought out some emotions, which Daiyu was keenly aware of.

In fact, if Jia Lian hadn't been sitting here, Zhou Rui's family had some concerns, she wouldn't have spoken so reservedly just now.

Looking into Daiyu's eyes, Jia Lian naturally knew what she was thinking.

Jia Lian sighed inwardly. In fact, Mrs. Wang's approach did not seem to be a problem on the surface.

It's just that the intelligent Daiyu is well aware of Mrs. Wang's character and her favoritism towards Jia Baoyu, so she can immediately "distort" her meaning.

In other words, if it was him, or even Jia Mu, who did the same thing today.That is to say, if he or Jiamu sent Daiyu a squirrel again, Daiyu would never think about it.

Here, it is actually a question of trust and intimacy.

Daiyu guessed that Mrs. Wang didn't like her very much, so she thought about it.Knowing that Jia Lian and Jia's mother love her very much, it's natural for her to take it for granted.

I didn't blame Daiyu for thinking wildly, this is Daiyu's innate keenness and careful thinking.

Therefore, Jia Lian looked at Zhou Rui's family coldly, "Put your things down and go out."

"Um, yes..."

How did Zhou Rui's family know how they had offended Jia Lian, and they greeted him with a straight face, but they didn't dare to say more, and retreated out in embarrassment.

Zijuan lifted up the cage and was about to find a place to hang it, when Jia Lian said to Daiyu: "If my sister doesn't like this squirrel, why don't you give it to me.

I looked pretty good, so I took it back for my little niece to play with. "

Daiyu was moved again when she heard the words.

Lian's second brother really understands her very well.Because she saw Mrs. Wang's partiality, she naturally had no feelings for the squirrel sent by Mrs. Wang, which was more meaningful than an apology.

But she had to accept the gifts specially given by the elders, otherwise others would say that she was arrogant and rude.

If it is someone else, facing this kind of unkind apology from the comer, there is a way to deal with it.For example, directly kill...

It was obviously impossible for Daiyu to have such an idea.Looking at the clever little thing, she was very irritable.

Now that Jia Lian asked her to leave, she immediately relieved her worries.

So he nodded quickly, "If that's the case, then Lian's second brother can take it."

Jia Lian nodded, because he ordered Zicuckoo to send the squirrel directly to his home.

After the trouble was resolved, Daiyu found a stool opposite Jia Lian and sat down. Just as she was about to ask Jia Lian where she came from and whether she was busy today, Jia Lian asked her again where she had been.

Daiyu's mood just improved a little, she suddenly became depressed, met Jia Lian's gaze, and said quietly: "I wanted to find a burial place for Anu, but I searched all over the place, but couldn't find it..."

Daiyu is a person who can empathize with things.

The little squirrel who has been carefully raised and raised by herself from a cub is just like her partner.

Now that the other party has passed away, apart from being sad, he naturally wants to let him go to the ground for peace.

However, according to the rules of the Jia Mansion, once all the cats, dogs and birds in each house die, the corpses must be handed over to the servants for disposal.

Naturally, Daiyu would not hand over Anu to those irresponsible servants, if they just found a place to throw it away, and then got picked up by wild dogs, how could she feel at ease.

So I want to find a suitable place and bury it myself.

But after going out and looking around, she didn't find such a place.

She lives in Rongqingtang.The front yard and the back yard here belong to Jiamu.The things belonging to the elders, even plants and trees, cannot be tampered with. This is also the rule of the Jia family.

So Daiyu returned without success.She was also very disappointed. In the past, whether it was in her hometown in Suzhou or in her father's government office in Yangzhou, she had her own territory, and she could dispose of it as she pleased.

But here, no.

Looking at Daiyu, she wanted to cry again, but Jia Lian laughed.

He put the squirrel's body back into the paper boat, handed it to Daiyu to hold it, and then said: "Let's go, I'll take you to a place. There is absolutely suitable for burying this little guy."

"Where?"

"You'll know if you follow me."

When Daiyu heard this, she wiped her tears with her sleeve and followed Jia Lian's footsteps.

She knew that when she cried, Jia Lian would definitely think of a way for her.

Although I feel that I am suspected of plotting against Lian's second brother, it is really useful.

……

On the construction site behind the two mansions of Ning and Rong, there are still countless slaves and craftsmen of Jia's mansion busy.

Near Rongguo Mansion, when someone raised his head to wipe his sweat, he saw a group of people walking in the distance.

The leader, Jia Lian, and the others naturally knew each other, but they were just wondering why Jia Lian brought a group of women in.

Taking a closer look, it turns out that there are not only daughter-in-laws and maidservants, but also some well-behaved fairy-like girls.

It was actually the ladies from the legend of Jia's mansion who went out, no wonder so many people followed.

I just don't know what they are doing here.

"What are you looking at, why don't you bow your head and work!"

The stewards and deacons who came back to their senses quickly reprimanded these peeping people to prevent them from colliding with the nobleman.

Originally, Jia Lian only planned to bring Daiyu in, but somehow the news leaked out on the way. Sanchun and Shi Xiangyun, together with their respective maids, chased after her.

When there were too many people, Jia Lian simply called a few mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law whom he saw along the way and let them open the way.

And the craftsmen who were able to come to Jia's mansion to work knew the rules, and there was no deliberate collision.

So Jia Lian quickly took Daiyu and others to a key construction site in the west.

Instead of entering the hot construction site, he walked along the stone path outside and stepped into a bamboo forest that had just been planted.

This is the site of the future Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Ah, there are so many mottled bamboos planted here, when the green bamboos form a forest in the future, it must be very quiet and beautiful.

It's really great that Anu is buried in this place. "

Shi Xiangyun is the most restless, if it wasn't for the disapproval of the guards and nuns, she would have slipped in here to play.

Now that she was able to follow Jia Lian in openly, she immediately widened her eyes, constantly staring in surprise.

It's a pity that the Grand View Garden is still in its infancy, and we can't see much of its beauty.

Lin Daiyu never thought that Jia Lian would bring her to the unfinished construction site, she was a little worried: "Second brother Lian, construction is going on everywhere here, if Anu is buried here, will it be..."

It would be a shame if the front feet were buried and the back feet were turned out.

Jia Lian shook his head: "This bamboo forest has been completely planted, and it will basically not be moved again.

If you're worried, I'll tell the stewards not to let irrelevant people in later. "

With that said, Jia Lian asked Xueyan to bring the flower hoe and hand it to Daiyu.

"Go."

Daiyu hummed, handed Anu to Tanchun, and then moved in person to choose a geomantic treasure...

Looking at the deep bamboo forest around, I felt that this matter became more meaningful.
