The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

When Daiyu saw Zijuan tearing her face apart in public, Fangxin couldn't help but get angry. She couldn't help but give Zijuan a white look. She was really guarding against day and night, and it was difficult to guard against domestic thieves.

Shui Rong couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this. At this moment, Daiyu was the sister Lin. She reached out and gently tapped the girl's forehead, and said warmly: "Be good, be obedient, and get some sleep."

Daiyu felt ashamed and annoyed when she saw that the young man was coddling a child. She was about to retort, but when she met the young man's gaze, she saw the love in his eyes and her brows softened.

With a deep groan, Daiyu held the brocade mattress in her hands, her jade cheeks flushed with an imperceptible blush, and whispered: "Then brother is here to accompany me."

She doesn't want to be separated from her brother. If he is not around, she always feels empty inside.

Shui Rong knew that Daiyu had no sense of security at the moment and needed the company of "relatives". He smiled and said dotingly: "Okay."

Daiyu's heart relaxed after hearing this, she raised her pale jade face and showed a smile she hadn't seen for a long time. She lay obediently on the embroidered couch, holding the young man's hand in her hand. She felt peaceful in her heart. After a while, Fell asleep.

Shui Rong saw this clearly, and his nerves, which had been tense for a long time, were relieved at this moment. Since he was tired, he would be fine if he fell asleep within seconds.

After seeing Daiyu sleeping soundly, Shui Rong quietly took back his hand, looked at Tan Chun and signaled, the two of them left lightly and walked to the door of the house. Shui Rong said softly: "Third girl, you stay here Take good care of Miss Lin, I still have some things to deal with."

When Tanchun heard this, he understood clearly that his brother-in-law was here on business and could not accompany Lin Yatou all the time. He responded in a low voice: "Brother-in-law can go on his own, I'm here."

Shui Rong smiled and pinched the girl's soft face, praising Tanchun's cleverness and sensibleness in her heart. She turned around and looked into the room, then left and walked to the hanging flower arch. Looking at Feng Ziying who was doing her duty faithfully, she said : "Have all the tickets for the imperial envoy's journey been issued?"

Shui Rong was on business this time, not just for fun. As an imperial envoy, he could justifiably order local officials in the south of the Yangtze River, and the so-called banknotes ordered officials from various places to call businesses to pay taxes and donations.

Feng Ziying replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, all the tickets have been sent out."

Shui Rong didn't say much after hearing this. The banknotes had been issued. All that was left was to see how much donations local officials could raise and then make plans.

After groaning, Shui Rong sat on the stone chair in the courtyard and turned to say, "Go and invite Jia Lian over."

Feng Ziying responded and went down to invite someone. After a while, Jia Lian followed Feng Ziying and walked over. Jia Lian walked forward quickly and said politely: "Your Majesty."

Shui Rong nodded lightly and stretched out his hand to signal. When Jia Lian sat down, Shui Rong asked softly: "Brother Lian, how is the business in Liaodong?"

Jia Lian originally thought that his little move was noticed by the prince, but he never thought that he was talking about the business in Liaodong. His eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the business in Liaodong is going well. I have sent your share of the dividend to the prince's palace. "

Shui Rong nodded slightly when he heard the words. After all, he was a capable man in the Jia family. He was quite capable in doing things and had two brushes.

Raising his eyes and looking around, Shui Rong's eyes fell on Jia Lian and whispered: "How is your health?"

When Jia Lian heard this, his face could not help but heat up, but he was not too embarrassed. After all, the prince had known about his body for a long time, and he was the miracle doctor introduced by the prince.

After a pause, Jia Lian replied in a low voice: "Thanks to the great blessing of the prince, I have almost recovered. When I returned to Beijing, I saw the miracle doctor Zhang. He said that after half a month of rest, he can regain his glory as a man, but it is not possible." Excessive, loss of essence.”

Shui Rong was not surprised when he heard this. Jia Lian's problem was a problem in his heart. It would be better after he passed that hurdle. It was not like Yong Wang who was fundamentally broken and could not be cured.

After groaning, Shui Rong changed the subject and said leisurely: "Brother Lian, you also know that the Lin family only has an only daughter, Jin'er. What do you think of the Lin family's property?"

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He knew that the prince was very concerned about this matter. If not, he wouldn't have exposed himself repeatedly.

After some preparations, Jia Lian said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, this is what I think. The Gusu Lin family is just some distant branch that cannot be reached with eight poles. Just leave them three melons and two dates and let them fight among themselves. The rest belongs to Sister Lin."

Although the Lin family's property was very tempting, Shui Rong was a blessing to him. Now that Shui Rong had spoken, there was no need to worry about it, so he simply made it clear what he had discussed with Sister Feng.

Shui Rong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. Yes, that's how it should be. As the only daughter, the Lin family's property originally belonged to Daiyu. From now on, this property will be Daiyu's reliance. How can the elder brother not care about it.

As for Jia Min's dowry, it originally belonged to Daiyu, so there is no need to argue.

Originally, Shui Rong should have done it himself, but he was busy with his own affairs, so he was unable to do anything. It was better to leave the Lin family's affairs to Jia Lian.

Of course, Shui Rong was also taking this opportunity to test Jia Lian. He had done Jia Lian a favor, and if he was still scheming against him, he would need to adjust his attitude towards Jia Lian.

Chapter 317 Daiyu: She is too selfish

The next morning, the morning sun shines through the green gauze curtains in the boudoir. Daiyu lies quietly on the brocade embroidered bed, her black hair spread like clouds, and she still can't wipe away the clouds between her eyebrows when she sleeps. Such sadness.

As the golden rooster croaked, Daiyu slowly opened her beautiful eyes with a "thwack" sound. Her eyes were half asleep and half awake. She slowly raised her hands and rubbed her eyes.

"Girl, you're awake."

Zijuan, who heard the movement, slowly came closer, with a hint of relaxation and joy in her voice.

Daiyu came back to her senses, looked around sleepily, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her heart felt sour, and she asked in a low voice: "Where's my brother?"

She also said that she would stay with her, and when she took a nap, no one would be there, so she gave her no hope. If my brother had such an attitude, it would be better to just ignore me.

If there are no expectations, there will naturally be no disappointments.

Zijuan knew Daiyu's state of mind, and she couldn't help but feel funny. With a smile on her lips, she said, "The prince and the third girl are waiting for the girl to have breakfast in the outer hall."

Breakfast

Daiyu was startled when she heard this, and her eyebrows showed a bit of surprise. She never thought that she just fell asleep, and in the blink of an eye it was the next morning. When did she feel so sleepy? It must have been during this period. The day was too tiring.

Thinking of this, Daiyu thought of her deceased father, and felt sad in her heart. She lowered her eyes, and mist gradually appeared in her bright eyes.

Zijuan didn't see the girl being sad anymore, and was also surprised by Daiyu's sleepiness. After all, her girl always slept lightly and would wake up crying in less than two hours. Who would have thought that she slept for a full ten hours this time?

But this is also a good thing. If my girl endures it any longer, her body will really get damaged. More sleep will be beneficial. As expected, the prince is here, and my girl feels at ease. Fortunately, the prince is here.

When she heard a low sob, Zijuan realized that the girl was feeling sad again. She sighed slightly in her heart and said softly: "Girl, I will help you wash and change clothes. The prince has been waiting for the girl in the hall. We haven’t eaten yet."

When Daiyu heard this, her face was slightly startled, and a touch of joy flashed through her heart. However, her eyes looked at Zicuckoo, and her eyebrows rose up, and she said strangely: "It's not in the way of hospitality to keep my brother waiting for a long time. Why didn't you come earlier?" Wake me up."

Although he didn't stay with her all the time, it was because he slept for too long. Besides, his brother didn't wait for him to have breakfast, which showed that he was always thinking about her.

Zicuckoo's eyes fell on the girl's slightly raised lips. The corners of her lips couldn't help but raise slightly. The girl at this moment was her good girl. She was obviously happy to be taken seriously, but she pretended to be scolding. She was really duplicitous. .

However, only the prince can make the girl temporarily forget her sadness. This is the first time that the girl has been in a happy mood since Mr. Lin died of illness. She will not expose the situation and say with a smile: "The prince is not a guest."

Daiyu's beautiful eyes turned when she heard this, and she didn't refute for a moment. Although they were not related by blood, the two of them had an unclear relationship, so they couldn't be counted as guests.

Well, they are serious sworn brothers and sisters.

While dressing up, Daiyu suddenly asked: "Where did my brother rest yesterday?"

Speaking of this matter, Daiyu felt a little secretly annoyed. Her brother had come all the way, and as the host, she should have made all the arrangements, but who would have thought that she actually fell asleep.

It's also her brother's fault, who made him hold her to sleep as soon as they met.

At this moment, the girl put all the blame on her good brother who had always loved her. The scene of the boy hugging her appeared in her mind, and her cheeks felt slightly warm.

Zijuan served Daiyu to comb her hair. Hearing Daiyu's words, she responded softly: "Yesterday, the prince was resting in the side room. He visited the girl several times in the evening and asked the slave to take good care of the girl. He kept talking so much that the slave's ears were numb. You can hear the cocoon.”

Of course, Zicuckoo's words were mixed with some water. No matter how concerned the prince was, he would not be nagging. However, she knew that the girl was thinking of the prince's good things, so she naturally picked up the good words to say.

As for the arrangement prince, she followed his instructions to take good care of the girl, so she probably wouldn't blame her.

As expected, when Daiyu heard the words, she couldn't help but feel happy, diluting the sadness in her heart, and her dim and bright eyes gradually became moist, glowing with a little starlight.

My brother is really her good brother.

At this time, Zijuan continued: "By the way, the third girl also stayed with you most of the night."

When Daiyu heard this, she felt even warmer in her heart. After all, they were sisters who had been playing together since childhood and had a deep affection for each other.

After washing up and dressing up, Daiyu couldn't wait to lead Zicuckoo towards the hall. When she arrived in front of the hall, she slowed down, gently opened the bead curtain, and looked in, only to see the people in the hall. The young man was wearing a blue brocade robe and was sitting on the brocade pier. He was talking softly to Tan Chun, who had changed into a girl's clothes. The tenderness between his brows and eyes was full of tenderness. He couldn't help but curl his lips, and there was a touch of sourness in his heart.

The third girl is not only her brother's sister, but also his wife and sister-in-law. The relationship is not comparable to that of her adopted sister.

I just don't know why, I just feel a little envious and hope that she is the only one in my brother's eyes.

Thinking of this, Daiyu was secretly annoyed. Her brother had a broad mind and treated every sister with kindness and frankness. How could it be that she could only have it all? He was too selfish, which was really shameful.

After taking a gentle breath, Daiyu straightened her face, walked into the hall, and said softly: "Brother, third girl."

Shui Rong looked up and saw a girl wearing a plain white dress. Her fair face looked sickly. Although her body and face were timid, she had a naturally romantic attitude, and she couldn't help but feel her heart tremble.

Men wear soap, women wear mourning, and girls wearing white are the most pitiful.

At this time, Tan Chun had already stood up and walked up to Daiyu, holding Daiyu's hand, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised, a look of resentment on his snowy face, he blinked and said: "Girl Lin, My brother-in-law said he would wait for you, my stomach is growling with hunger, let’s have breakfast quickly.”

Shui Rong looked at Tanchun who was smiling and laughing, and admired in his heart. At this moment, Tanchun did not say any words of comfort, but instead acted like sisters having a family time, avoiding mentioning Daiyu's sadness.

It has to be said that Tanchun is still extremely skilled, and she is really a talented and shrewd "red rose", worthy of her name.

Tan Chunruo just grumbled when he was hungry. As a brother-in-law, he could still be stingy, so he could prepare a bowl of fresh and steaming bean juice for Tan Chun to fill his stomach.

Daiyu looked at the complaining girl in front of her, her bright eyes flashing, as if she had gone back to the time when the sisters were playing in the past, she felt a little relieved, and softly spat: "You don't eat yourself, how can you blame me? Okay It doesn’t make sense.”

Although he said that, he still allowed Tanchun to come over with his arm in his arms and sit around a table.

Shui Rong didn't have any words of comfort for Dai Yu, and ordered people to serve the meal.

Not only was Tanchun hungry, he was also a little hungry. If he hadn't been concerned about Daiyu's sensitive mind, and feared that Daiyu would think that she was not taken seriously by her "brother", why would he have waited for her specially?

During this sensitive period, it is most important to pay attention to details.

But to be honest, if Daiyu was just one cup of tea later, Shuirong would be ready to let others serve him first.

Not long after, dishes of exquisite side dishes were brought up and placed on the table in a very elegant way, with all the colors, flavors and aromas.

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Qi'er, these are Yangzhou dishes. I don't know if you are used to eating them now. If you are not used to them, find a cook who can cook northern dishes with you."

A country's soil and water nourishes its people, and eating habits in different regions are also very different. Northern food is salty and oily, while southern food is sweet or light. Although Daiyu is from the south, she has lived in the north since she was a child, so her eating habits are naturally different. Despite the change, I don’t know if I’m still used to southern food.

In short, it is the difference between whether the taste is heavy or not. For example, if it is water-soluble, it has a heavier taste and likes dishes with a lot of oil and water, which are soft, greasy, and fragrant.

Hearing this, Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, curled her pink mouth, turned her clear eyes sideways, gave the boy a blank look, and said softly: "I am originally from the south, and I can't get used to eating anywhere. It's hard for my brother." Thank you for your trouble.”

Water soluble: "."

Here it is, that's what it sounds like. There's nothing wrong with the words, but it's just weird. It sounds uncomfortable, almost sarcastic, and very much like Sister Lin.

Tan Chun pursed his lips and smiled, obviously understanding. He stared at the young man with a faint wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and explained softly: "Brother-in-law, Lin Yatou has always had a light taste, and she will also do it when she is in the house. I specifically told the cook to keep it light. The cook is also very capable and can make some southern dishes from time to time. Even I have developed a taste for it."

Shui Rong raised his eyes and glanced at Tan Chun. He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of suspicion between his eyebrows. It was normal for Daiyu to have a bland taste, but it was just Tan Chun here. He didn't notice that Tan Chun had a bland taste. Could it be that he was in Shui Rong's store? I'm used to it, and it's a bit greasy, so I decided to make it lighter?

But it’s okay, usually keep it light and occasionally have something heavy. This is called a balanced diet.

While eating, Shui Rong saw that Daiyu was just tasting some vegetarian dishes. He remembered that the girl yesterday was as light as a feather and looked like a Chihuahua. He frowned slightly, picked up a piece of delicious meat with bamboo chopsticks, and placed it on Daiyu's table. In the bowl, he said warmly: "Eat more, Qian'er."

Her slender figure is thinner than a willow tree. If she doesn't eat more and take care of herself, and use a little more strength, I'm afraid her waist will break.

Well, I hugged you, don’t think too much about it.

Daiyu looked at the delicious butcher shop in the bowl, her bright eyes were crystal clear, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She picked up the butcher shop and tasted it carefully. She felt that it was several times more delicious than before.

Yes, the food cooked by the cook today is very delicious.

While she was tasting, Daiyu seemed to remember something. She raised her eyes and stared at the young man. To be precise, it was the bamboo chopsticks in the young man's hands that were glowing with crystal. Her willow eyes widened.

Just now, my brother seemed to be using his own bamboo chopsticks to pick up vegetables with her. Didn't he eat his food by himself?

Thinking of this, Daiyu's fair face warmed up slightly, two rose-red haloes floated on her cheeks, and her eyes were as bright as water as she stared at the bamboo chopsticks.

Shui Rong and Tanchun also took a piece of the butcher's shop. When they turned around, they noticed something strange about Daiyu and frowned. They were a little suspicious and thought to themselves that Daiyu didn't like eating at the butcher's shop and was picky about food.
