The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 492 Want to make soup?

Suzhou City is only a few hundred miles away from Yangzhou.

The hustle and bustle brought about by Lin Ruhai's return to his hometown for the burial of the second-rank member of the Central Committee that day has settled down, and Suzhou City has once again restored the tranquility and prosperity of her "paradise on earth".

"Cough cough cough~~"

In the deep and simple compound of the deep house, in a beautifully decorated and elegant room, there was a sudden coughing sound of a girl.

The maid behind the screen raised her head when she heard the sound, and immediately picked up the large cloak next to her, walked behind the delicate and thin girl under the west window, put the cloak on her, and gently persuaded: "Girl, there is a Wind, let’s go inside and take a rest.”

"Tomorrow, the coffin will be sent out of the city for burial. If the girl falls ill at this time, what should I do..."

After admonishing several times in a row, seeing that the girl remained silent, and even pouted her small mouth slightly, the maid knew that she would make people unhappy again by persuading her, so she could only shake her head, turned around, moved the brazier closer, and moved All windows in other directions of the house were shut.

He intentionally closed the door in front of the girl, but he was afraid that the girl would get angry.After standing for two seconds, she suddenly smiled and said, "Girl, I have a question for you, where is Yangzhou in Suzhou?"

Perhaps her laughter was too piercing, the girl finally turned her head to look at her, her watery eyes stared at her maid, Zijuan, from the other's sly look, the smart girl was keenly aware of something.

He glared at each other and said nothing.

Sure enough, Zijuan smiled to himself: "I have never read a book or seen a map. I didn't know where Yangzhou was, but recently I suddenly understood."

Saying that, Zicuckoo took two steps forward, stood in front of the window, raised her orchid finger in front of the girl, and pointed outside: "Yangzhou is in that direction, right? Let me see, it's northwest. Hehehe , Miss, tell me if I’m right, if someone asks me this question in the future, I’ll be able to brag about my knowledge to others.”

Her eccentric look made the girl's face turn red, and she stood up in embarrassment.

"Okay you Zicuckoo, you are so annoying, cough~"

Sure enough, a sick person can't be excited, and before the words fell, the girl coughed again, clutching her heart.

Seeing this, Zicuckoo didn't dare to tease her anymore, so she hurried forward to give her back.

The girl didn't appreciate it, she twisted her body and pretended to be very angry.

Naturally, she listened to Jia Lian's words and stayed obediently in Suzhou, Daiyu who kept watch for her father.

These days, except for going to kowtow and burn papers in front of her father's coffin every day, Daiyu basically stays in her own room, living a two-point and one-line life.

The days are cold and boring, and spring is the season when she is most likely to suffer from cough, and the two phases make her feel more depressed and unhappy.

The only thing that can make her feel a little better is to think back on the boat when she came here, how she got along with her second brother Jia Lian, and what he said to make her happy, so she can't help but sit by the window in a daze.

She didn't intend to be a "Watching Husband Stone", but she just had a feeling in her heart, so she couldn't help but sat facing the direction of Yangzhou.Who knew that Zijuan, who was a maid, would dare to tease her!

Outrageous.

Seeing Daiyu holding the table with one hand and looking angry, Zijuan seemed to know she was in trouble, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Lian. I will return to Suzhou before the master is buried.

Therefore, the girl should take good care of her spirits, maybe he will arrive in the afternoon? "

When Daiyu heard this, she was successfully distracted.

Of course she remembered that Jia Lian had promised her that she would come back to help her take care of internal and external affairs before her father was buried.

But she remembered even more that it was out of her love for Jia Lian that he didn't have to worry about running back and forth between the two places, making himself so tired.

Seeing the date of her father's burial approaching, her mood became unpredictable again.

Now, even she doesn't know whether she wants Jia Lian to obey her orders or not.

Just when the master and servant were quarreling, they suddenly heard the loud sound of horseshoes coming from the front yard, accompanied by the high neighing of the horse, which was very clear in the quiet old house.

Zijuan quickly laughed and said: "Look at what I said, hearing the sound, I must be back! Miss..."

Zicuckoo wanted to say something, but saw her girl walked in without saying anything after being stunned for a while.

Zijuan just laughed, without hesitation, immediately followed in.

……

"Master Hou is back."

"Master Hou!"

Jia Lian left behind his heavy carriage, horses and luggage, and led his light cavalry back to the old house of Lin's family.

When the people he arranged to work in the old house heard the news, they came to greet him one by one, but Jia Lian was nowhere to be seen.

"Uncle Quan, where is Lord Hou?"

"Hehehe..."

Lin Youquan, who was standing in the compound and lightly beating his legs, watched others surround him, and immediately stood up straight with a smile.

"Master Hou ordered that all the people who are in charge of affairs gather in the conference hall in fifteen minutes."

"Uh, yes."

In Daiyu's room, Daiyu, who was urgently adding makeup to herself, did not know that Jia Lian came so quickly.

Hearing the sound of communication outside the door, she felt that Daiyu, who was only half done, was quite flustered.In a hurry, he yelled at Zicuckoo: "Quick, help me stop him!"

Zijuan is speechless, my good girl, do you think everyone is you?How dare we.

But there is no need to worry about disobedience or not, because as soon as she turned her head, she saw the handsome and mighty Jia Lian, dressed in casual clothes and walking vigorously, walking in from the door.

"Sister Lin...!"

Daiyu also spotted Jia Lian's figure from the glass mirror. With a face full of shame and anxiety, she moved her hands faster and scolded: "Why are you barging in all of a sudden, get out!"

Jia Lian came over excitedly, just to see Daiyu earlier.

Unexpectedly, he was kicked out by Daiyu as soon as he entered the door, and for a moment he thought he had heard it wrong.

Stop and take a look to understand.Haha, it turned out that I blamed myself for coming too fast and not giving her time to touch up her makeup!

This illustrates two problems.

First, it was naturally Daiyu's affection for him.After all, women are the ones who please themselves, and everyone understands the truth.

Second, the fairy usually likes to be lazy, and she didn't even put on her makeup seriously. This time she was suddenly attacked and inspected, and her secrets were exposed.

Jia Lian, who wanted to understand this, didn't care about Daiyu's shyness, and went directly to her side, took a stool casually, and sat there leisurely, obviously to watch Daiyu touch up her makeup.

In this way, Daiyu still has the nerve to move.He glanced at Jia Lian quickly, turned his head away, not daring to let Jia Lian look at her.

In fact, Daiyu didn't wear much makeup in the first place. She felt that she was naturally beautiful, and she was beautiful no matter what.

It's just that I haven't seen Jia Lian for more than ten days, and just now I suddenly heard that Jia Lian might be back, and subconsciously reflected that I didn't put on makeup when I got up in the morning, so I immediately went back to the house to look in the mirror.

When a girl looks in the mirror, she has to make up for everything.She didn't know that Jia Lian would come here so soon. In fact, if she didn't describe it, she wouldn't be too ashamed to see Jia Lian. Now that she had done it so hastily, she always felt that something was wrong in her heart, and she didn't want Jia Lian to see her.

Seeing how cute she looked, Jia Lian couldn't help laughing.

"Why, could it be that my celestial Sister Lin has become so ugly that I dare not see anyone after seeing her for more than ten days?"

The more beautiful she is, the less afraid she will be called ugly.So Daiyu knew that Jia Lian was deliberately teasing her, but on the surface, she still had to pretend to be angry, otherwise what would she do?
"No one dares to meet people anymore. It's all your fault. You broke in without their consent. Now it's a bad person!"

"Hahaha... Huh."

Jia Lian was suspicious on purpose, and tilted her head towards Daiyu, "Sister Lin, what's wrong with your face?"

what?
Daiyu was startled, she hurriedly raised her head to look in the mirror, there was nothing on her face...

Still wondering, she noticed that the big face next to her was smiling triumphantly. Daiyu didn't know she had been cheated, so she blushed and spat lightly. She lowered her head in embarrassment.

Daiyu is originally a celestial being, but she is more charming than the most beautiful hibiscus flower in such a shy appearance, which makes people never get tired of it.

Just looking at it, the smile on Jia Lian's face restrained a little.

Daiyu was already slender, but now it has only been more than ten days, and Jia Lian keenly noticed that her body seemed to be thinner again.

And after taking a look at the house, it was already March in Yangchun, but in Daiyu's house, a charcoal basin was still needed.

Daiyu was ashamed of being scrutinized by Jia Lian, so she wanted to stare Jia Lian's gaze away, but when she looked up, she noticed the change in Jia Lian's expression.

Jia Lian laughed again: "Did Sister Lin put on makeup just now? I think that Sister Lin's overpowering peach blossom posture is the most beautiful even without any decorations, and there is no need for makeup at all."

If Jia Lian hadn't said similar love words more than once since the relationship between the two was established, Ren Daiyu, a graceful and reserved girl, might not be able to bear it.

Even so, Daiyu still lowered her eyebrows, stared at Jia Lian, and said with feigned anger: "Who cares about you, whether I paint or not is none of your business."

"Uh, I said something about me, but I just expressed my opinion."

Daiyu didn't know how to reply, she knew she couldn't get Jia Lian out of bickering.The reason why she can win most of the time is that Jia Lian let her.

Thinking of it this way, I can't help being ashamed and happy.He didn't talk back anymore.

Who knew that Jia Lian would not accept it, and teased her again: "Besides, there are only three of us in this room. If sister Lin's makeup wasn't drawn for me, could it be for Zicuckoo?"

"I drew it for myself!"

Zicuckoo only stood by the side for a short while, then realized that she had seen and heard a lot of things that she shouldn't have seen and heard, so she shook her head, turned around and left.

Sure enough, Zijuan was sensible, and once she left, Daiyu became more natural.

Although she was still blushing, she dared to look up at Jia Lian.Noticing that Jia Lian had a slight dusty look on her face, she couldn't help but said, "Didn't I say that if you were busy, you wouldn't have to rush back? Why are you still here?"

Seeing that Daiyu spoke softly, Jia Lian was very helpful.

Picking up one of Daiyu's small hands and holding it, he said with a smile, "It's time to come back. If I don't come back, I don't feel relieved."

"What are you worried about?" Daiyu tugged her little hand as usual, and she let it go when she realized it wouldn't move, but her little face became more and more shy.

Because, the feeling of being held by Jia Lian's little hand is very comfortable, and there is a feeling of being cared for wholeheartedly.

"I don't worry about my sister Lin. She is so beautiful, like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks, how can she not be disturbed by common affairs. Naturally, I, an ordinary person, should take care of these ordinary affairs for her. not worried."

Hearing Jia Lian's self-proclaimed layman, and comparing her to a fairy, she gave Jia Lian an angry look, and spat, "Bah, you're glib."

Daiyu said coquettishly, in Jia Lian's eyes, it made him feel more happy than a peerless beauty acting like a baby.

He took Daiyu's hand and involuntarily moved closer to Daiyu.

Noticing the increasingly similar faces of the two, Daiyu could only feel a little deer bumping in her heart.When Jia Lian's face was less than three inches away from her, she couldn't hold back her pretty face and avoided it.

"You, what do you want to do..."

Jia Lian, who failed to test again, smiled mischievously, pretending nothing happened, "It's nothing, just now I saw something on my sister's brow, but it disappeared when I got closer, it's strange."

Jia Lian's self-talk did not dispel Daiyu's suspicion.

Daiyu looked at her suspiciously and warily, smiled shyly, and then said pretending to be calm: "You just came back, go back to the room and rest for a while.

I have people tidy up the rooms for you all the time, and they are in the yard next to them.

Xiangling..."

Daiyu suddenly took out the host's money, called Xiangling who had been waiting outside, and led Jia Lian out.

She dared not let Jia Lian stay any longer.

She is not stupid, so she naturally understands that Jia Lian clearly wanted to kiss her just now!
The most important thing is that she found that she almost closed her eyes just now.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was really ashamed at the last moment and interrupted him, wouldn't the second elder brother Lian have already succeeded?

Just thinking about it made her feel ashamed and powerless.

At the same time, it was strange that Jia Lian had clearly kissed her little hand before, and when his father died, he was held in Lian's second brother's arms.

After doing such intimate things, how did he realize that Lian's second brother wanted to kiss him, but he was so nervous, so nervous that he was dying?

Still unable to figure it out, Daiyu could only lie on the table and think slowly.Just when she was about to fall asleep, Zijuan entered the room and woke her up.

After asking about Jia Lian's whereabouts, she pulled herself together and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going, girl?"

"Don't worry about it, just follow me."

After a while, Zijuan, who followed Daiyu to the kitchen, realized that her daughter was going to make a bowl of soup for Second Master Lian who had come back from a long way to express her affection.

Although she understood Daiyu's mood, Zijuan felt that it was too much.

After serving Daiyu for so many years, Daiyu has never touched Yangchunshui with her hands, making soup?
Forget it, I'd better help myself a little bit so that the girl has a sense of participation.
