Miaoyu: "Let this girl talk nonsense, but some of her clothes are a bit torn. I know that this girl is good at craftsmanship, so let her borrow it. I also know that she likes reading recently, so we can communicate more!"
Lin Daiyu then smiled and said: "I see, but Qingwen is really blessed to have you as her teacher. I often see your name, Miaoyu, on the booklet."
Miaoyu: "It seems that there are more ladies' names on the booklet, don't you think so, Zijuan!"
Zijuan smiled and said, "That's a book from Library No. 2. My girl must have read half of it!"
Qingwen heard Zijuan say: "So much. I knew that Miss Lin was very good at reading, but I didn't expect to be so good."
Zijuan: "That's my girl studying. She has always been able to read ten lines at a glance!"
Qingwen: "What about Master Bixie?"
Zijuan: "This..."
Miaoyu: "Qingwen, your mouth..."
Lin Daiyu: "Of course I can't compare with him. You don't know, that man often says he is a fool, but why do I just pretend when I look at him?"
After Lin Daiyu finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment.
Soon, Qingwen said: "Master Miaoyu, I remembered Miss Lin. I still have something to do at my girls' school, so I will leave now."
Miaoyu: "Go back and I'll come back to ask you about needlework!"
Soon Qingwen left, and Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, just watched her farewell.
After Zijuan, Lin Daiyu, and Miaoyu were left, Miaoyu said first: "Madam, I want to pay my respects!"
Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "Now that I'm here, I naturally want to worship you!"
Then, as usual, Lin Daiyu first went to the left wing to pay her respects at the Xie Family Ancestral Temple. However, the current Xie Family Ancestral Temple only had two memorial tablets, and even with two impression paintings by Xie Yu hanging on the wall, they seemed a bit empty.
But seeing the memorial tablets of Xie Yu's father, Xie Ergouzi, and mother, Xie Yu, today, Lin Daiyu had no funny impulse, but instead felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
Lin Daiyu thought of what her grandmother, the old lady, who had a clear mind like a mirror, once advised her, as if she was right in front of her eyes.
My grandmother once said that it was appropriate for me to marry into a family with no parents-in-law based on my temperament.
Daughters-in-law in ancient official families had many rules. Take the usual morning and dusk routines as an example. In addition to saying hello in the morning and evening and standing in line with the rules, they also had to wait for their mother-in-law to finish eating before they could eat by themselves.
How could I bear it with my congenitally weak body? But a person like Xie Yu, who has weak legs and has no high-level education, generally does not have such stinky rules.
After experiencing the confiscation of Jia's house and organizing the funeral for her grandmother in the past few months, Lin Daiyu felt that she had matured a lot, and she immediately understood what the many secular affairs that she had despised at the beginning represented.
In Xie Yu's words, Lin Daiyu moved from fantasy to reality and became mentally mature.
After being in a daze for a while, I came to the Lin family's memorial tablet in the right wing. Naturally, there are many more tablets here than Xie Yu's. They were all seen by Lin Daiyu when she was a child and had her demerits recorded.
Of course, the main ones are Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Na Zaoyao's younger brother.
After secretly saying something from his heart, Lin touched his natural tears again!
I can't help but feel that my body is getting better, my eyes are getting better, and they are better than in previous years.
I am really grateful to Xie Yulin Daiyu.
After that, after adjusting her mood, Lin Daiyu asked Zijuan to go ahead and sipped two sips of tea at Miaoyu's side.
Suddenly Miaoyu spoke, "I think it's appropriate now!"
Lin Daiyu: "Miaoyu, what do you mean by this?"
Miaoyu: "Madam, don't you want to know why I followed madam to stay in Xie's Mansion?"
Lin Daiyu: "So that's what I said. Hey, let's put it this way..."
"So, Miao Corn has long known about the Grand View Garden..."
Miaoyu: "I am an outsider, how could I know that such a big thing would happen!"
"Speaking of which, my master who passed away was the abbot of the Monastery. She was well-behaved. I followed her since I was a child. She was very good at performing innate divine numbers, so I also performed divination before she passed away."
Lin Daiyu: "Divination? What's the result?"
Miaoyu: "After my master made predictions for me, he told me that there will be a great disaster in the future, which will be extremely difficult to avoid."
Lin Daiyu was extremely smart, so she said: "In this case, it is the work of Cuicui'an in the Grand View Garden..."
Miaoyu: "It is indeed my master's handiwork. I originally planned to return to my hometown, but then I listened to my master's words and temporarily lived in Jia Mansion's Grand View Garden Cuicui Temple."
Lin Daiyu: "Then..."
Miaoyu: "Later I wanted to follow my wife to Xie's Mansion. Based on the master's instructions, I found that it was actually confirmed to my husband."
"After that, I met your distinguished husband. Although my innate divine calculation is not commendable, I immediately understood that if I want to avoid the catastrophe, I must take refuge in your distinguished husband. He is my noble man."
"But please rest assured, Madam, I am an outsider and have no other thoughts."
Lin Daiyu: "Even if you have other thoughts..., well, other thoughts..."
Then, Lin Daiyu stared at Miaoyu for a while, and then said: "Isn't he my nobleman?"
Miaoyu took a sip of tea and sighed: "Your husband is really a strange person!"
Lin Daiyu: "A strange person?... He is indeed strange."
In fact, after having known each other for so long, Lin Daiyu, a smart person, can naturally feel some of the mystery in Xie Yu.
Call me smart, but he couldn't guess many of the little riddles I asked him.
Call it silly, he understands a lot of things you say.
You could say that he acted recklessly, but he was also very clear about the affairs of many aristocratic families.
It's indeed a bit strange.
For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say, but with their intelligence, they seemed to know something about each other's secrets, and they became somewhat close for a while.
After that, after Lin Daiyu finished taking care of the housework every day, she would go to the family temple to sit and talk with Miaoyu, and occasionally talked about life in Taoyuan in the Grand View Garden.
A few days later, Xie Yuxiu Mu, who was specially asked to change into something simple, brought Lin Daiyu, Zijuan and others, as well as seven or eight large cars of things.
It contains a lot of living animals such as chickens, ducks, fish and geese, and always has fruits. After all, the fruit trees on the village have not yet reached the harvest season.
There are also durable dry goods and vegetables, and more importantly, there are also the cards that Xie Yu had people carve based on the list given by Jia Zheng.
This time I went to Rosewood Fort not only to see how the Jia family is adapting now, but also to help Jia Zhengzhong build a small family temple.
That card was the main purpose of Xie Yu's trip. Although there was a list given by Jia Zheng, it was mainly copied from memory by Lin Daiyu, who had followed Jia's mother to participate in several Jia sacrifices many times.
Of course, due to regulations, the materials used, shape and size, and complexity are naturally different.
But it is already available.
After all, sacrifice is a major event in the feudal etiquette tradition, and the ancestors cannot be denied the incense.
Of course, this small family temple was built according to the regulations of the common people. After all, the Jia family are now "common people", so they naturally have to keep a low profile and no one can find fault with it.
To be honest, in the past few years, especially the year when Xie Yu was away from the mansion, Lin Daiyu combined what she saw in Jia's mansion and her own thoughts to establish many rules and reforms in Xie's mansion.
】
If it were a little less muddy, it would be more aristocratic.
When he arrived at Zhuangzi, Xie Yu didn't ask anyone to report it, so naturally no Jia family came to pick him up.
In the days to come, this red sandalwood castle will be tidied up and become popular. After all, those who have experienced wealth know how to tidy up.
It can also be seen that for menial tasks such as moving, sweeping, lighting fires, and helping in the kitchen, the Jia family has hired many refugees who were originally recruited by Xie Yu.
Judging from the swift steps of this refugee, it seems that he also accepts his identity.
This made Xie Yu scratch his head. Xie Yu brought them here so that they could all have a place to stay and make arrangements later.
It’s just that this is the case….
"If a free man doesn't do anything, will he become a slave?"
It is indeed a characteristic of the times!
Of course, the wealthy Jia family are also particularly good at painting cakes!
For example, after the Jia family was "rehabilitated", they could be employed as housekeepers and have children, they would not have to pay taxes and do corvee labor, and they would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
Speaking of the treatment of slaves in the Jia family, let's take a third-class girl as an example. In addition to being in charge of food, accommodation and clothing, she gets 500 yuan per month. Adding in the annual rewards, she can easily earn twelve taels of silver in a year.
And a coolie outside who works by himself not only has to support a family, but also pays taxes. He works exhaustingly for a year and may not be able to save a few taels.
Compared with the outside world, the life of the little girl from the original Jia family is indeed no worse than that of the young lady from a small family.
After all, productivity in this era is very underdeveloped.
After all, not all people care about freedom. Both can be thrown away in the face of survival. Face and dignity are useless.
Grandma Liu is an example.
Speaking of Grandma Liu, Xie Yu wouldn't believe it if these people didn't have Grandma Liu to talk things over and work for the Jia family.
Sure enough, the main reason why people hate the rich second generation is nothing else. All the reasons are excuses. The main reason is that I am not the rich second generation!
Xie Yu and Lin Daiyu brought so many things over, even if they didn't ask anyone to inform them in advance, the people in the village knew about it.
