The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 116
When her fist landed on Jia Cong's chest, Daiyu was stunned.

Why doesn't Third Brother hide?
They were obviously not familiar with each other. They had only had limited interactions with each other a few times when they were in Jia's house.

Compared with Baoyu, she spent very little time with her third brother, but for some reason, her heart became very peaceful when she was with her third brother.

He and his third brother seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Perhaps it was because of that poem that they were as close as old friends, and they were very familiar with each other's personalities.

There is such a wonderful fate between people!

Jia Cong grabbed Daiyu's wrist and looked into her almond-blossom-like eyes. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He quickly let go of his hand and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, are you still worried about me right now?"

Daiyu turned her face away in embarrassment, coughed slightly, and shook her head slowly, "I'm not worried either. Third brother said that everything is done by third brother. What do I have to worry about?"

"It's okay if you don't have it. I'll have an extra bowl of rice later!"

Daiyu, who was a little embarrassed, was stunned again, "Why do you want to eat an extra bowl of rice?"

The little girl's eyes were confused and she tilted her little head. Jia Cong looked at it and thought it was funny, "The next time Sister Lin hits someone, it won't be like scratching an itch."

Daiyu blushed again, "Okay, third brother turns out to be so contemptuous of others! I'm going to hurt you, should you arrange something for me again?"

But he also felt that playing with the third brother was a completely different feeling from Baoyu. He seemed to be teasing himself, but in his words, he meant to give advice and care.

Daiyu's heart was filled with something.

Looking at the receding scenery in the distance, Daiyu actually had a wish that this journey would not end.

The big ship went down the waterway, and because it was an official ship, there was no obstruction along the way.

The first boat was occupied by Jia Cong and Daiyu. On the first level of the boat were the Jia family soldiers led by Jia Ping and a dozen of his own soldiers sent by Xia Jin. On the second level were the serving maids. For the daughters-in-law, Daiyu and Jia Cong live in the main cabin on the next floor. They each occupy a large room, and the rest are the maids who serve personally.

On the second ship were the coffins of three members of the Zhong family, followed by dozens of people sent by Xia Jin to escort them. After Jia Cong arrived, these people would return with the ship.

The days of sailing and riding are extremely difficult and boring.

Fortunately, Jia Cong is not the kind of person who is out of touch. He is active and quiet. He likes liveliness but can endure loneliness.

After getting up early every day, I would practice boxing and archery on the boat, then read a book, and occasionally lean on the side of the boat to fish.

When Jia Cong was shooting, Daiyu would watch. When Jia Cong finished shooting, he would hold the little archer and teach Daiyu hand in hand.

This was a shocking move, but Daiyu had a bit of a rebellious streak in her character. There was no one else on the boat. The third brother wanted to teach her, so how could she not learn?
Just like playing a game.

After shooting a few arrows, Daiyu knew the importance.

Although Jia Cong asked Zijuan to bring medicinal wine to rub Daiyu's arms, Daiyu's arms were still sore. Jia Cong thought she would rest for two days. Unexpectedly, the next day, he saw Jia Cong practicing. She wanted to learn arrows again.

After shooting a few decent arrows, Daiyu gave up.

"I feel that after being so tired, I fell asleep a little deeper at night!" Daiyu said.

Jia Congxin said that exercise and sleep are two good medicines to prevent diseases. She smiled and said, "That's good. I can help Sister Lin sleep well. How will Sister Lin thank me?"

Daiyu looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "Third brother is also a bit stingy, do you have to thank me for this?"

She also knew that Jia Cong was teasing him, so why wasn't she teasing Jia Cong?
Zijuan laughed at the side and said, "Girl, I think the tassels on Second Master's jade are all old. Why don't you give a new tassel to Second Master's jade?"

After getting along for a few days, Zijuan also called Jia Cong the second master like Huaping and others.

Daiyu saw an ancient jade hanging from Jia Cong's waist and wanted to come over to take a look.

Jia Cong untied it and handed it over, "It's not as good as the piece brought from the womb by Brother Bao. This piece is an ordinary Han jade, only a little older."

"What are you talking about? Second Master Bao's piece of jade is so rare. Our girl wanted to see it before, but later she didn't dare to look at it. Although Second Master's piece of jade is not as good as Second Master Bao's piece, it is ordinary after all. thing."

I mean, be more grounded.

Daiyu held it in her hand and looked at the color. It was milky white. She had already thought about what color to match. She handed it back to Jia Cong with a blush on her cheeks. "I don't know when I will want to braid. Wait until I I’ll make it up when I remember it, and I’ll make it up for my third brother.”

This is a carry-on item!
Jia Cong knew from the book that she had this arrogant little temperament, which many people who watched Red Mansions disliked, but Jia Cong felt that Daiyu was probably the most realistic person in the book, and she was like that He was particularly admirable for being able to maintain his truest self in such an environment.

"Of course I will make it up when my sister wants to. Who in the world would dare to force her to do it?" Jia Cong said with a smile.

Qingwen came in just in time, twitching the corner of her lips. She looked at her coldly these days. Miss Lin was really too squeamish, and she had to be coaxed by her second master all day long.

It's just a thread. Is it because she can't make it up or because She Yue can't?

She couldn't help but come forward and took a look at the jade on the side of the second master. The white strips were old and turned yellow. Qingwen said, "The second master's strips are old. Just tell me and She Yue." That’s right, why bother bothering Miss Lin?”

As soon as Qingwen's words came out of her mouth, Daiyu fell silent. She felt a little itchy in her throat, so she kept her head away and endured it.

Jia Cong stood up and walked up to her, patted her back gently, "Cough it out if you want, why bother to endure it? We will be on the ship for more than 20 days, is it possible that you have to endure it all the time?"

Daiyu felt much better and coughed twice, "Third brother, what I just said, are you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?"

"I thought you would be angry if I didn't inject you. I said, you are not stingy."

"Then what do you think I should be like?"

"You..." Daiyu tilted her little head and thought for a moment, "You are just a black-hearted sesame dumpling. On the surface, you appear to be a gentle gentleman, but in fact you are a black-hearted bad guy!"

Just as Jia Cong was about to laugh, Qingwen said from the side, "Why does Miss Lin bother to ridicule our second master like this? Our second master treats girls..."

Before Qingwen finished speaking, She Yue rushed over like a gust of wind and pulled Qingwen away, "I just know how to stay lazy. I haven't watered the flowers in front of the window, I haven't fed the starlings, and I haven't boiled the water yet." !”

"Let me go, is that all my job? Today is clearly the screen painting shift!"

Daiyu glanced at Jia Cong. She remembered that the girl Qingwen was given to her third brother by the old lady. Who would have expected that she would turn out to be such a fierce and courageous girl.

Jia Cong gently rubbed the raised pattern on the outside of the tea cup, which was a clump of green bamboo. His eyebrows were cold and he glanced at Qingwen lightly. Qingwen was already trembling all over. She lowered her head but refused to give up. What did she do wrong?
"Sister Lin is not only a relative, a cousin, but also a master. Qingwen, I remember I said that there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority in the family. Do you still keep this in mind?" Qingwen's face turned pale. , but stubbornly said, "Second Master said before that he was afraid that we would not be able to protect us and would not let us talk casually. But now, whether there are any outsiders on the ship, is it possible that Miss Lin will be petty and care like a slave? Can’t do it?”

Daiyu didn't say anything, but looked at Jia Cong with a pair of starry eyes. Her moist eyes were full of teasing, and the corners of her lips were slightly curved and upturned, looking extremely naughty.

Jia Cong resisted the urge to ruffle her hair and sneered, "Miss Lin won't argue with you, but you are arguing with the rules. If you want to fight against the rules, the rules will naturally not forgive you! "

Jia Cong ordered, "Go and call Nanny He and hand her over to Nanny He. If you break the rules, Nanny He has the final say on how to deal with her."

Aunt He is Jia Cong's nanny. Before the mistress comes to the door, it is Nanny He who has the final say in everything that happens in Jia Cong's room.

In addition to being loyal, this old nanny is also very disciplined.

Qingwen couldn't believe it. She knelt down and looked at Jia Cong, "Second Master, I didn't do anything wrong! Why can't Second Master tolerate me? Since he can't tolerate me, he should send me away when I come to Ningguo Mansion. Let me go. Now, halfway through, is it possible that the second master wants to sell me out? I won’t leave this house until I die!”

"You said something you shouldn't have said and you still don't know you were wrong?"

Jia Cong was extremely impatient.

It is natural for Qingwen to have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but if people can do whatever they want, say what they want, do what they want, and do whatever they want, even the emperor will not have such great freedom.

He wants it too!
"If the second master wants to hand me over to Aunt He and dislikes me so much, I would rather die!" Qingwen cried.

In his two lifetimes, Jia Cong had never been threatened like this before, and he couldn't help but laugh angrily. He knew how fierce this girl was, but if Lie became like this, he couldn't bear this blessing.

Jia Cong pointed to the surging river outside, "Your life is yours. If you don't cherish it, it's your own business! However, if you want to die, don't do it in front of us. It's not our fault to save you, and it's not our fault not to save you." , to truly seek death, secretly by yourself, without alerting anyone."

Qingwen's face was completely lost. She bit her lip, jumped up, and threw herself towards the window.

Zicuckoo was close, so she rushed towards her and hugged her, "Qingwen, what are you doing?"

"Second Master, since there is no room for people here, why should I keep an eye on others?"

Daiyu couldn't stand it anymore, "Did you behave like this in the old lady's house?"

"This is none of the girl's business!" Qingwen still remembered that day. Although the second master showed her face, he still told her his difficulties later.

She is not that ignorant. She is good to the second master, and she also thinks that the second master can understand her heart.

Now, the second master clearly doesn't care about her.

She didn't dare to compare with Miss Lin. Miss Lin was her cousin, but the second master disrespected her.

It's just a piece of cake. If Miss Lin doesn't want to fight, it's not like they don't know how to fight. Why would the second master do this to him?

She just said something fair to protect the second master's face, but the second master could not tolerate her.

It was obviously to protect Miss Lin's face.

"Hmph, you just see the third brother being young, that's why you disrespect him so much. As an outsider, I feel uncomfortable when I see the people in front of him disrespecting him. What will happen if others find out? To see him?"

"Third brother is also famous outside. He was appointed by the emperor to write scriptures for the Holy Shou Festival. His handwriting is praised by the great scholars of the world. The third brother's poem is not only popular, but also reaches people's hearts. It is said to be majestic from eight sides. As for Pin, today I know that the third brother cannot even subdue the people in front of him!"

Daiyu covered her face with a handkerchief, revealing only a pair of crystal clear eyes. She looked at Jia Cong playfully, as if to say, I know all your secrets.

Jia Cong was speechless for a while, "You just know!"

Like a bolt from the blue falling on Qingwen's head, she suddenly woke up. One was the rules and the other was decency. As a maid, she failed to do both of these things.

Qingwen was so ashamed that she didn't want to live anymore. She struggled hard, "Let me go, let me go!"

How could Zicuckoo be willing to watch her die? She held her tight, "Qingwen, what's wrong with you?"

"Since she wants to die, let's make it happen!"

Jia Cong said ruthlessly and ordered Zijuan, "Let her go and let her die!"

Hearing this, She Yue glared at Qingwen fiercely and knelt down, "Second Master, she is a confused person. Second Master, please spare her this life. Now in the mourning period, there is still Miss Lin here. On the side, Miss Lin’s face doesn’t look good when these things happen.”

Daiyu clapped her hands aside and said with a smile, "I originally said that Sister Xiren in the second brother Bao's house is good. Who would have thought that Sister Sheyue in the third brother's house is even better? This statement clearly makes sense, good Brother, just for my sake, please spare her!"

Jia Cong chuckled and stretched out his hand to pinch Daiyu's soft cheek, but he only stretched out his hand to make a gesture, "Did I want her to die? Why is it all my fault?"

After hearing this, She Yue hurriedly went to pull Qingwen.

Qingwen was still coy at first, but She Yue glanced at Jia Cong's cold face with fear and pinched him hard. Then Qingwen followed her reluctantly. Before going out, she kept looking at her with a pair of charming eyes. Not leaving Jia Cong, I saw Jia Cong chatting and laughing with Daiyu, not even giving him a glance.

In the evening, Zicuckoo heard that the maids in Jia Cong's house were rewarded based on their merits. She Yue and Huaping were given one or two and a half yuan of silver, while the others did not move.

This leaves Qingwen aside. Qingwen was originally on the same level as She Yue, but now she is left behind.

Daiyu was leaning on the head of the bed, the ship was steady, and the waves were gently swaying in the night wind. Her face gradually became more rosy. After eating three more meals a day, her face gradually became more fleshy. .

"I see that the second master and the second master Bao over there have different temperaments. Qingwen was born well and is good at needlework. If she were in the house of the second master Bao, she might not be able to be enshrined. Today, I saw that the second master was completely impatient. If the girl hadn’t helped to talk and enlighten him, what would have happened? "

Zijuan was a little scared. She looked at it. If Qingwen really wanted to jump, if the girl hadn't been there, the second master would have really let her jump.

How could Daiyu not know that Qingwen's incident today was all directed at her?

She curved her lips and said, "The maid in front of him makes him lose face. How can he be happy?"

Although the third brother looked a little ruthless, he was protecting her face after all. How could Daiyu be unhappy? She told Zicuckoo, "Go and get the thread. Let me see what color goes well with that jade." .”

Zicuckoo was also happy and said "Hey" and took out all the threads for tying the knot. The master and the servant distinguished each other under the lamp for a long time and chose several colors. They will look at it under the sun tomorrow.

New Year's Eve was spent on the boat, and when the Lantern Festival arrived, the boat arrived in Huai'an.
