Chapter 174 Lin Daiyu's Visit
Summer insects chirp, and a few stars twinkle in the cold moon.
The gentle breeze blew by, and the lights on the bustling streets flickered, both illusory and real.
"Hello, sir!"
"Um……"
"Master, Miss Lin is here."
"Oh, when did you come?"
"I came here early this morning. Sister Xiren originally wanted to notify the master, but Miss Lin refused to let me go. She said that the master is busy, so don't disturb me."
"have they gone?"
"I haven't left yet. I'm in the backyard right now. I said I won't go back today."
"Okay, you go down!"
As soon as Jia Yun returned home, she was a little surprised when she heard from the little maid that Lin Daiyu was here.
Now Lin Ruhai has left Beijing for Hubei for a few days to take up his post. Leaving Lin Daiyu in the capital, Jia Yun would go there every now and then to have a delicious meal, which was quite interesting.
It's just that no matter how Jia Yun invited Lin Daiyu to her home before, she was embarrassed and refused to come over. But she didn't expect a surprise attack today.
After a busy day, I took a shower and changed clothes to get rid of my fatigue.
Jia Yun was wearing loose clothes and walked lazily to the backyard with Xiren and Xiangling.
Xiren said with a smile: "The newly built courtyard next door is almost ready. I will buy some small things and put them in, and then I can move in. My wife is still talking today about letting the master set a time for everyone to move there."
"Also, when will I have time to give those small courtyards some nice names so that the craftsmen can carve out the plaques and hang them up?"
Jia Yun nodded and said, "It's a good day on May 18th. If you want to move, you can move on that day."
"As for naming the small courtyard, you should think about it for yourself first. If you really can't think of something you like, then come to me. After all, you live in that courtyard, so I'll try not to overstep it."
Xiren smiled and said: "I think there is no need to give names, I think we can just use our own names."
Xiangling on the side pursed her lips and smiled, but stopped talking.
Jia Yun glanced at her, smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want."
After this girl came to his house, she became more and more outgoing. As she read more and more books, her original dull and silly attitude gradually disappeared. She became more restrained and bookish, and her charm became more prosperous than before.
Xiangling hesitated for a moment and then said with a smile: "I want to say that I envy Sister Xiren and the others for having their own small courtyard to live in. I have wanted to have a home of my own since I was a child, and I don't know if I will have this opportunity in the future.
"
"Yes, if you work harder when warming the bed in the future, you will have a chance." Jia Yun said with a bad smile.
Xiang Ling's face turned red and she said with a pout, "Isn't this slave diligent? It's just that the master is partial and can't bear to touch this slave."
"You girl, you treat me like a donkey with good intentions. Aren't I considerate of you and want to wait until you are better before I touch you? You still blame me." Jia Yunxian glanced at her and said angrily.
Xiang Ling turned her head away and said, "Just complain, I have worked so hard to serve the master, but I can only watch Sister Xiang'er and Sister Jing'er getting angry, but I have no share in it. The master is just partial."
Jia Yun stopped and asked suspiciously: "Did you read something you shouldn't have read?"
"Ah!" Xiangling blushed, her face showed shyness, and she lightly stamped her feet and said, "Master..."
Jia Yun laughed loudly and suddenly said: "Good guy, why is this girl acting so weird today? It turns out she is in love with spring?"
Looking back, he asked Xue Baochai with a smile: "Baochai, I haven't said what you were talking about just now, you are so happy!"
Under the candlelight, Xue Baochai was round and round, with plump appearance and dignified manner. She smiled without showing her teeth and said:
"I was just talking about Jia Baoyu. Miss Ping'er came over this afternoon and said that because sister Lin moved out of Jia's house, Jia Baoyu has not eaten or drank at home these days. This morning she even got angry and smashed the jade pendant she had been wearing."
"It's strange to say that in the past, his jade could not be broken, but this morning when he threw it on the ground, it shattered all over the ground and turned into dregs. This shows that the jade is not a precious jade, and is nothing like common jade.
the difference."
Lin Daiyu snorted and said, "In the past, he often threw that jade in front of me."
"Every time he smashed a jade, my grandmother would not say anything, but would look at me with a cold look. Others would also gossip about it, which made me feel arrogant."
"It doesn't matter if the jade is broken. If the whole family does not do business properly but engages in some evil deeds, it will not be afraid of the royal family's taboo."
Jia Yun asked curiously: "You have stayed in Jia's house for a long time, but do you know how that jade was stuffed into Jia Baoyu's mouth when he was born? Is it really a jade from heaven?"
The jade must be a sacred jade, but Jia Yun has always been curious about its origin.
Lin Daiyu shook her head and said: "It must not have been in the mouth since birth. That's just a rumor. When I first went to Jia's house, I heard Brother Bao say it."
"He said that the jade was obtained from a Taoist priest when my grandfather was still alive, and he later gave it to his second uncle."
"Later, when Brother Bao was born, my second uncle thought that jade was of the highest quality and could be auspicious. It could ward off evil spirits, keep good health, prevent diseases, absorb all things, and be immune to all poisons, so he gave him the jade to wear to eliminate poison.
Avoid disasters and avoid evil, and maintain peace forever."
"As for the auspicious theory, it seems that it started out as a private chat between my grandmother and my second aunt, saying that Brother Bao has been spiritual since he was born. Somehow this word spread, and the more it spread, the more mysterious it became, and it has become a rumor now."
"But it's true that their whole family treasures that piece of jade. When I first went to Jia's house when I was a child, I thought it was because of Brother Bao."
"Later when I grew up, I realized that my grandpa had played with the jade when he was still alive, so my grandma paid special attention to it, for fear of being smashed by Brother Bao."
There has been controversy among the people as to whether jade can keep people safe, and some people have conducted research on it.
Jade is a very precious thing, and people tend to be careful when wearing it to avoid damaging the jade.
This cautious attitude can often help people avoid many disasters.
After all, people's mental factors or psychological effects can often determine people's behavior.
Even if something does happen, if An Yu is broken, he will regard luck as the necessity of Yu protecting himself.
There is indeed some truth to this explanation. Wearing jade and acting more cautiously is ultimately safer than being frizzy, especially for children.
Jia Yun nodded and asked Lin Daiyu: "No one in the Jia family will bother you these days, right?"
"That's not true. After all, when my father took me away, he almost broke off our friendship with them. No matter how indifferent they were, they wouldn't come looking for me so quickly." Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and replied.
Jia Yun thought for a while and said, "Even so, we still need to be on guard against them. Tomorrow I will arrange for a team of personal guards to be on duty at your house to strengthen the Lin Mansion's defense force."
