dream of red mansion

Chapter 640 The Strange Daiyu
Today is a beautiful and sunny day, and even Daiyu, who is sick three times a year, has dressed up carefully and is going out for a stroll.

"Zijuan, you don't have to follow me. I'll just go out and relax. Go back and see if the little swallows who built their nests under our eaves in early spring are still there. If they are still there, remember to give them some water and rice."

In front of the gate of Xiaoxiang Hall, Daiyu fanned her cattail fan, half-hid her face, turned her body slightly, turned her head and told Zijuan to say.

The hourly sunlight shines on her body through the bamboo shadows, combining with her demeanor and appearance to form a beautiful picture of a lady.

Zijuan knew that she wanted to go out for a walk alone, so she nodded yes, and watched her walk along the green bamboo path alone.

Daiyu stopped and walked along the way, admiring the scenery in the garden casually.On the way, she saw Tanchun and Yingchun sisters fluttering butterflies in the peony garden, she just glanced at them quietly, and did not step forward to play with them.

Walking straight ahead, she reached the hillside of Tubi Mountain Villa before she knew it, so she wanted to see what Jia Qing was doing.Just happened to meet Jia Qing's maid, Hui Xiang, who went to Hengwuyuan to get insect repellent medicine, and told her that Jia Qing had gone out very early.

Uninterested, Daiyu remembered that she hadn't seen Miaoyu for a while, so she went down the mountain road to meet Miaoyu at Changcui Temple.

Miaoyu is also a quiet and quiet person, although the two have known each other since they came to the south of the Yangtze River, and Miaoyu is the only one who is close to Daiyu in the garden, but Daiyu only drank half a cup of tea in the Changcui nunnery. After a stick of incense, he said goodbye.

Because Miaoyu is really not a person who can entertain guests.

After another half an hour, Daiyu was a little tired, thinking that Jia Qing might have gone back to the garden, so she went to Tubi Mountain Villa again.

"Miss Lin..."

Qingwen and Ling'er were playing around in the backyard, when they saw Daiyu Shi came in, they hurriedly saluted.

Daiyu looked up, and Qingwen knew what she was looking for, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Boss Shen, a draper in Dongcheng, issued an invitation card, and the second master went there early in the morning, and I'm afraid he will be back soon.

The girl enters the room and sits down, Linger, make a bowl of good tea for the girl! "

After hearing this, Daiyu thought to herself: "There are many people who disdain dealing with merchants, but he is unique. I heard that he once wrote an article during the rural examination, the main purpose of which was to broaden agriculture and promote business. The former That's all, just the word emphasizing business is contrary to orthodox Confucianism.

Father is also a well-known scholar, but from his mouth, he does not object to the theory of the second brother.Thinking about it, although people say that since ancient times, most of the big businessmen and wealthy businessmen are rich and unkind, in fact, most of the people who build bridges, pave roads, build temples and temples to benefit one side are also rich businessmen.Thinking about it this way, it may be that the ancients were always jealous of other people's wealth, so they deliberately spoke out to slander others.

Not to mention far away, just say that the ancestors, their family and the two houses were not very different before.But since the second elder brother took charge of the family, the hearts of the two governments have changed.Now in the West Mansion, who doesn't envy the East Mansion's many industries, and the wealth of the family is getting richer and richer.Even though my wife, Sister Feng and others don't say anything, I can feel their envy in the occasional words, but they can't bear to do it, and they don't know how to do it.

Only the second elder brother was able to do these things with ease and never tire of it.No wonder, when he heard that he was going to marry Sister Bao, he was so happy, hmph, their family is the real rich! "

Daiyu's brows suddenly wrinkled deeply.

"Girl?" Qingwen didn't know why Daiyu suddenly lost her mind.

"Oh, don't bother, you just play."

Daiyu was indeed a little tired, so she walked towards Jia Qing's room.

After entering the room, she subconsciously looked at Jia Qing's attire in the room.Although she is no stranger to Jia Qing's house.

There is a screen and two bookshelves in Jia Qing’s room. Daiyu looked at it casually. Most of the bookshelves are collections of classics and histories, poems, songs, and so on. Her room is not much less than this, and she doesn’t pay much attention to it... …

……

"Oh, the weather is so good today, what are you doing if you don't go out to play? What's the point of hiding in this yard and playing chess!"

After Ling'er poured Daiyu a cup of tea, seeing that Daiyu ignored her, she came out to continue playing shuttlecock kicking with Qingwen. Tired of kicking, she played chess on the porch again, two cents a game!The battle between the two was in full swing, and Xiang Yun suddenly jumped in and threw himself on the chessboard.

Qingwen quickly grabbed Xiangyun's hand, messed up the chessboard, and said, "Oh, it's all Smith's fault, this game doesn't count..."

Although Ling'er refused to accept it, she had no choice but to admit it.

Naturally, Shi Xiangyun didn't know that she ruined other people's money, so he pulled them both together and said, "Let's go, don't be bored here, by the way, is the second brother here?"

Qingwen and Qingwen naturally said that Jia Qing was not there, and that they wanted to stay and watch the house, and told Xiangyun to go by himself.

Shi Xiangyun then said: "It's the same with you here. There are so many houses, and there are only a few of you, and there are not enough to look at the houses! The second brother is usually quite generous, why is he reluctant to put more people in his house?"

As he spoke, he was going back.

At this time, Qingwen remembered that Daiyu seemed to have been in the house all this time, so she immediately called to Xiangyun: "Miss Yun, Miss Lin is still in the second master's room, you can go and play with her!"

"Huh?" Xiangyun hesitated when he heard that, and immediately went to find Daiyu.

Entering the house, where is there a person in the empty place?Except for the occasional chirping of cicadas coming in from outside the window, there was not even a single sound, it was quiet.

Xiangyun didn't think that Qingwen and Qingwen would lie to her, but thought that Daiyu had heard her coming and deliberately played hide-and-seek with her, so she stood on tiptoe and searched around.

There is a small door between the wall next to the bed and the bookshelf on the back of Jia Qing’s desk. Inside are some shelves and cabinets, usually for storing some more secretive things.The space is not very big either.

When Xiangyun came here, he found Daiyu squatting inside, motionless.Satisfied, Xiangyun saw that Daiyu hadn't noticed her yet, so he quietly squeezed in.Because Daiyu was squatting with her back, Xiangyun only saw Daiyu holding a book, and didn't pay attention. He squatted beside her, and suddenly said loudly: "Ah, sister Lin!..."

Xiangyun was dazed, although she wanted to frighten Daiyu, but she was restrained and did not use too loud a voice.But she didn't know how it had such a big effect, she just felt that Daiyu suddenly stood up like a frightened deer, leaning towards her behind her, and at this moment, Daiyu's head hit her chin just right.

"Ouch~..."

Xiangyun sat down on the ground in pain, saw that Daiyu had stood up and looked at her, and immediately complained: "Sister Lin, what are you doing, it hurts me to death."

Xiang Yun rubbed his chin vigorously.

Seeing Daiyu's blushing cheeks because of "guilt", Xiangyun felt that he was not bold enough.Sister Lin should have been hurt too, and the cause was also because she frightened her, so she asked concerned: "Sister Lin, don't you feel hurt?"

Daiyu just remembered, and touched her head with one hand, a sharp pain came from the top of her head, but she quickly waved her hand: "No, it doesn't hurt..."

"Sister Lin, what are you hiding in your hand?"

"No, nothing."

"Show me quickly!"

Xiangyun's curiosity is quite serious, Daiyu kept her hands behind her back to keep her from looking, but she didn't care, she stood up with her hands on the ground and wanted to grab it.Anyway, Daiyu would definitely not be able to rob her, and she was stuck inside and couldn't get out, Xiangyun showed a "cruel" smile in his eyes.

But she miscalculated this time.Daiyu clearly saw her intentions, and she didn't know where the violent tendencies came from. She suddenly stretched out a black hand, pushed her, and when she fell, she ran away with a "swish", leaving only Xia Xiangyun stared blankly at the roof...

Is that person just now sister Lin?
