At three o'clock in the morning, the moon is bright and the stars are few, and the autumn breeze is blowing.

In the west wing of the back house of Yanzheng Yamen, a candle burned brightly.

Zicuckoo bent over and spread a brocade quilt on the Babu bed, while Daiyu sat on the crescent moon stool, quietly watching the candlelight in trance.

After Zijuan spread her arms on the bed, she straightened up and looked at Daiyu.

Seeing her in a daze, he came up to sit aside and said with a chuckle: "What are you thinking about?"

After Lin Daiyu came back to her senses, she sighed softly and said, "It's nothing."

There have been a lot of things lately, and Lin Daiyu has a lot of things on her mind, and her heart is even more uneasy. Zijuan said softly: "Girl, don't think so much, it's getting late, go to bed early!"

Daiyu sighed quietly: "I'm sitting for a meeting."

Zijuan knew that her girl couldn't sleep even if she said this, and it was useless to force her.

He turned his eyes and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the girl is chatting with the slave to relieve her boredom."

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at Zicuckoo angrily. How could she be in the mood to chat now?

Zicuckoo selectively ignored Lin Daiyu's rolling eyes, smiled and said, "Is the girl thinking about my uncle?"

Lin Daiyu's pretty face turned rosy upon hearing this, she glared at Zicuckoo and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing this, Zicuckoo smiled and joked: "The girl is still shy."

Lin Daiyu looked at Zicuckoo angrily and cursed: "You crazy girl, you talk to me about your uncle. What you call is intimacy. If you want to go with him, I will let you."

It was still early to get married, but Zijuan called her uncle first, especially when they were in the hall, which made Lin Daiyu embarrassed and anxious.

Zicuckoo was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Our master and servant depend on each other. The girl is going to marry my uncle, and the slave will naturally follow her. Sooner or later."

Daiyu was silent for a while after hearing this, and sighed again, but said nothing. She did think about Jia Yun, but not what Zijuan thought.

Seeing this, Zicuckoo frowned and asked in a low voice: "Miss... are you thinking about Second Master Bao?"

From the day Daiyu entered Jia's house, Zijuan was sent by Jia's mother to serve Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu grew up with Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu always protected Lin Daiyu. Zijuan saw all this.

Lin Daiyu's expression changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "What nonsense you are talking about. You must never say such things again in the future."

From the moment Lin Ruhai made the engagement, Lin Daiyu's identity changed, and she couldn't talk nonsense about some taboo things to avoid gossip.

In this era, important matters concerning marriage are decided by the parents. Once the parents have made a decision, it cannot be changed easily. What's more, the matter was witnessed by a prince. If you regret the marriage, it will not only ruin your reputation.

Zicuckoo sighed: "Good girl, there are only two of us here, it doesn't matter if we talk about ourselves."

Lin Daiyu frowned and said, "No nonsense!"

After scolding angrily, Lin Daiyu immediately lowered her voice and said: "Baoyu and I are just brothers and sisters who grew up together."

Zijuan didn't know whether they were brothers or sisters. Zijuan couldn't care less about it as a maid. Instead, she pointedly said: "Before we left Beijing, didn't we hear a mother talking about a good marriage? Dai

Does the gold one match the jade one? Who doesn’t know?

Marriage matters are decided by the parents and the matchmaker. If it is spread like this in the house, it must be the wish of the wife and concubine."

Zijuan thought that Lin Daiyu had other thoughts, so she used this incident to remind Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu couldn't hear what Zicuckoo was saying, and said angrily: "You are the same, and you beat me up even though the score is bigger than mine. I will go back to the old lady tomorrow and send you back. I won't

I dare you."

Hearing this, Zicuckoo said angrily: "Where did the girl go? I sincerely think about the girl. Why do you go back to the old lady and cause me to suffer a loss?"

What's more, when the girl saw that Tian'er and the second master were arguing, the wife always ignored the girl. The girl and the second master Bao got angry several times, and the wife didn't look good."

"alright!"

Daiyu interrupted: "The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes."

As a slave, if the master arranges it and spreads it, it will not end well.

Lin Daiyu didn't know what Zijuan said. She was just living under someone else's roof, so she couldn't get everything she wanted.

Looking at Lin Daiyu's somewhat dejected expression under the candlelight, Zijuan sighed in her heart, and then said: "That's fine. The old lady is still here now, so the girl can be at ease. Wait a few years for the old lady... think about it, Mrs.

Can the girl and Mr. Bao be allowed to quarrel?

It’s not easy to be a daughter-in-law in a family! But my uncle is different. She is close to the emperor and lives in another house. She has a simple family and no mother-in-law to take care of her. She doesn’t even need to follow the rules in the future. It is really a good match that I can’t ask for in ten lifetimes.

…”

Looking at Zicuckoo's babbling appearance, Daiyu didn't feel anything in her heart. On the contrary, she found it funny and couldn't help but giggle.

Zicuckoo was startled, and then almost died of anger. Tears were about to fall, and she said with red eyes: "My sister-in-law, I have been heartbroken because of you, but it's good for you to still laugh at me...

"

Seeing that Zijuan was really annoyed, Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Sister, don't be really angry, I understand your good intentions! I have never had any brothers or sisters. It was my blessing in my previous life that I met my sister, who has always cared about me.

How can I not know what is good and what is bad?"

Hearing this, Zicuckoo gritted her teeth and said, "You were a blessing in my previous life, and I owe you in this life! You're so good, why are you talking about this?"

Lin Daiyu became much more sincere at this time, and said softly: "I know everything you said, Brother Yun..."

As she spoke, Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes, her voice became lower, she sighed softly, and continued: "But, when I look at him, he treats me as his elder."

What did Zijuan think it was when she heard this? She said seriously: "Girl, this is not how I see you. My uncle is the kind of person who has a cold face and a warm heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped the girl to drive her away."

Those annoying dog-skin plasters.”

Not to mention recent events, when I was in Beijing, I heard people say that my uncle is also extremely kind to his servants."

Lin Daiyu found it funny when she heard this and said, "Who did you hear? Didn't you say that Brother Yun is a profligate person and treats his servants harshly?"

Zijuan replied: "Of course I heard what Sister Yuanyang said."

Both are maids, and Zijuan was born next to Jia Mu, so naturally she is also acquainted with Yuanyang, and it is normal to hear one or two words from Yuanyang.

Immediately afterwards, Zicuckoo said: "I heard that the people who were taught by my uncle were disrespectful to him. He was extremely kind to those who were honest and responsible. Not to mention the stablekeepers.

The young man and the uncle can talk and laugh with him without any airs!

Those rumors in the house are all slanderous against my uncle!"

"Oh..." Lin Daiyu was a little surprised when she heard this. After thinking for a moment, she came to her senses. This mansion is big, so there is a lot of gossip.

After a pause, Zicuckoo teased: "The girl is so pretty, why would my uncle not be happy? I just looked at her several times in the hall!"

Daiyu's face turned red when she heard this, she laughed and cursed: "You are such a shameless little prodigal, what are you talking about!"

After saying this, Lin Daiyu seemed to remember something again, and snorted coldly: "I remember someone said that they don't like weak people."

At first, Jia Yun had teased Lin Daiyu about this matter, but she remembered it clearly.

Zicuckoo was also present at the time, so she naturally knew about this and said with a smile: "My uncle, that was just a joke. Didn't the girl also make fun of my uncle?"

Lin Daiyu seemed to remember the situation that day, and burst into laughter.

Jia Yun had a look of disgust on his face. Thinking about it now, Lin Daiyu found it very interesting. She knew that it was her words of "being a bad person" that she said wrongly, which caused Jia Yun to express his disapproval...

After the quarrel, Lin Daiyu regained her composure and said calmly: "Don't say any comforting words. I just hope that we can treat each other as guests and be safe and smooth in the future..."

Your fate has been decided, you can only accept it.
