Chapter 26
February 12th.
It was Daiyu's birthday.
Although Rongguo Province was full of her family,
Her parents were not by her side.
Daiyu gave up on the idea of celebrating her birthday.
She only thought that it would be a good thing to live a peaceful day like this.
She must not let that Jia Baoyu use the name of her birthday.
She came knocking on her door again.
It was not beautiful.
Zi Juan was careful. When Daiyu woke up early in the morning.
She and Xue Yan carried the longevity noodles to Daiyu.
"May Miss live a long and healthy life. Every year is like today."
Xue Yan was puzzled. "Why is everything like today?"
She lowered her voice again and muttered, "It's not good inside this Rongguo Manor."
Zi Juan listened and laughed softly. "Is there anyone as good as the assistant minister?"
Xue Yan suddenly understood.
She laughed.
Daiyu leaned on the bed and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Always talking nonsense. You should tear your little mouth."
Zi Juan put down the longevity noodles.
She waited on Daiyu and stood up.
At the same time, he said, "Even if I have to tear this mouth of mine, I still have to say it.
Isn't Miss happy to hear it?
Miss is happy.
It's worth it. "
"Where did you learn this nonsense?"
Daiyu put on her clothes.
Zi Juan waited on her and sat down at the table.
The steam from the longevity noodles rose and heated her face.
She didn't look pale.
Her face was pink.
Zi Juan and Xue Yan were stunned.
After eating the longevity noodles.
Daiyu chatted with Zi Juan and Xue Yan for a while.
Xue Yan still remembered the scene in Gusu, so he told Zi Juan about it. Daiyu listened and said with a smile, "When mother was still alive, she would take me out to see the lanterns and buy some sweets to eat on her birthday."
Zi Juan was afraid that she would trigger Daiyu's sadness, so she pinched her Xue Yan and quickly changed the topic.
Daiyu seemed to have sensed something. He smiled and stopped talking about this matter.
Later that night, Daiyu went to Lady Jia's courtyard and spoke with her for a while.
Mother Jia had someone bring in the finest material and a pair of jade bracelets and placed them in Daiyu's palm. "This was my dowry when I got married. I haven't worn it many times, but everyone who saw it said it was beautiful.
Now I think it suits Yu 'er better. "
That was just what he said.
Madam Jia felt a little awkward.
She didn't know how little Assistant Minister He cared about money, but the gifts he sent to Daiyu were like flowing water and never stopped.
Every time he sent over, it wasn't just one or two items. Often, he would send some precious things in two or three boxes, and then three or four boxes.
In this way, the gifts sent over from Rongguo Province looked shabby for no reason.
Daiyu smiled and took it. "Thank you, grandmother."
Mother Jia smiled and stroked her head. "It sounds distant now. Why don't you call me grandmother? It's more intimate."
Daiyu only pursed her lips and laughed softly.
Mother Jia also seemed to be just joking, and quickly turned the page.
After a while, Lady Xing, Lady Wang, and Wang Xifeng also arrived.
Wang Xifeng came over and said with a smile, "I told you that Lin 'er should be here. Lin' er is one year older and has reached the age to talk about marriage."
As he spoke, Wang Xifeng walked forward and stuffed a sachet into Daiyu's hand.
"A few days ago, I went to ask for incense for my girl.
Coincidentally, the senior monk in the temple was selling sachets. He said that the master had blessed them.
I don't understand these things, but thinking that Lin 'er's birthday is near, I asked for one.
Lin 'er, please don't despise me for being shabby. "
Wang Xifeng didn't believe in Buddhism before, but after having Sister Qiao, he would go to the temple to pray.
Daiyu knew about this.
Her mind was clear, and she could see through most of the people in the fu.
It was because of this that Daiyu felt surprised.
Second Sister-in-law Lian was smooth and slick. She seemed to be close to everyone, but in reality, she didn't seem to be close to anyone.
With her personality, it was possible for her to give him gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, and medicine.
But it wasn't likely to be a sachet.
The value of a sachet couldn't compare to gold or silver, but it gave off a sense of intimacy.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of gift was unavoidably shabby.
Given Second Sister-in-law Lian's intelligence, how could she give such a thing?
Daiyu concealed his surprise.
A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It's too late to be moved, so how could I dislike it?
Many thanks, Sister-in-law. "
As he spoke, Daiyu hung the sachet close to his body.
The sachet's appearance couldn't be considered exquisite, but it was covered with the character for fortune, so it had a special flavor.
"Sister Feng 'er's hands are fast."
Lady Wang joked and also walked over. She shook Daiyu's hand and said, "Aunt prepared the gift two days ago. It should be sent to your room now."
After that, it was Lady Xing's turn.
She squeezed out a dry sentence, "I also asked the servant girls to send it to your room." And then she didn't say anything else.
Daiyu didn't mind at all. She thanked them one by one and went back first.
There were many girls in Rongguo Province.
Indeed, there was no reason to hold a grand banquet.
But Lady Wang still remembered what Jia Zheng said to her. In the afternoon, she asked the kitchen to specially prepare a birthday banquet and send it to Daiyu's room.
The elders didn't go, but the sisters of the same generation did.
The Three Springs were all present.
Baochai also put on a cloak and came in the spring cold.
The Three Springs didn't have much savings, so the gifts were handkerchiefs, fans, and other things that they had personally rusted.
The Xue family didn't lack money, so Baochai's gift was more generous.
It was the deputy head.
Before the banquet started, someone in the front said that something had happened.
When Xue Yan heard this, she was very unhappy. Why did something happen at this time? She asked the servant girl, "Who's in trouble?"
"Bao Er Ye …"
Xue Yan almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She secretly thought that this was a good thing. It was just right that it happened today.
The servant girl had a good relationship with Xue Yan. At this time, she said a few more words, "The matter is not small. Second Master went to invite Assistant Minister He over."
"How is this matter related to Assistant Minister He?" the servant girl asked in surprise.
"Assistant Minister He sent something over. Some people in Second Master's courtyard carelessly placed the thing in the hall.
Bao Er Ye saw it and took it to play with … "
Although the servant girl's voice was very low, everyone in the room heard it.
The Three Springs and Baoyu were very close. When she heard this, she looked embarrassed, but she didn't say anything.
However, Baochai didn't know about Baoyu's absurd matter before. After hearing this, she was a bit surprised.
Daiyu threw her chopsticks, "Cousin, how can you be so willful and rash?"
She stood up and said to Zi Juan, "Bring me my cloak."
Zi Juan nodded and turned to enter the inner room.
After the cloak was taken out.
Tanchun advised, "Today is Sister's birthday. Why let this matter spoil the mood?"
Daiyu shook her head and said, "I shouldn't let him bully me."
Tanchun didn't say anything.
Xichun sighed and said, "He's always been like this. No one can control him. Sister, don't be angry."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Then, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
"Bao Er Ye is here," the person outside said.
Before Daiyu could frown, the person outside said again, "Second, Second Master is here."
The maidservants lifted the curtain and saw a young master dressed in luxurious clothes walk in.
It was Baoyu.
But when she took a closer look.
His face was swollen again.
Even when he walked, he was limping, as if he had been hit with a stick.
Baoyu entered the room. When he saw Daiyu, he cried, "It's my fault. Sister Lin, if you want to blame me, you can hit me …"
Baoyu's hair was messy. He looked terrible. His face was so swollen that his eyes were almost squeezed together. He looked funny and pitiful.
Daiyu said coldly, "How would I dare to blame Cousin?"
When Baoyu heard this, he felt even worse. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, the curtain was lifted again.
Jia Zheng came in.
The girls hurriedly stood up and greeted Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng said in a low voice, "Baoyu is really a bastard. Today, he mistakenly took the things sent by Assistant Minister He.
He even asked the nannies in the courtyard to play with them.
When I heard this, I was furious.
Now, he is here to apologize to you.
Daiyu, please don't take it to heart. "
When Daiyu heard this, he felt even more unhappy and wronged.
She had to forgive him just because he apologized?
Who made such a rule?
Daiyu looked away and didn't respond.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit stagnant.
Jia Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "He was afraid that something would go wrong again, so Assistant Minister He personally sent it over."
Daiyu was surprised and looked outside the door.
She saw that there were a few people standing outside the curtain. But just now, her head was full of anger, so she didn't have time to look at them.
Perhaps to avoid suspicion, they stood a bit further away.
But even so, it was enough for them to see clearly.
That young master was handsome and tall. He looked to be about the same age as Baoyu. He was wearing a plain robe, but he was full of nobility.
He really deserved to be called a cool breeze.
None of the girls in the room didn't blush.
It was reasonable to say that the sons and grandsons in the Jia Mansion didn't look bad.
But all of them had greasy hair and powdered faces. How could they compare to the young master outside?
Even Baoyu's good-looking appearance paled in comparison to her.
Daiyu suddenly felt her heart beat faster.
She didn't expect this to happen.
Originally, Baoyu had caused trouble, which made her angry. She only felt that she wouldn't be able to celebrate her birthday today.
But who would have thought that today was her birthday, her brother would come and stand in front of her and celebrate with her?
She felt great sadness and joy.
For a moment, Daiyu couldn't say anything.
The resentment and grievances he had felt just now seemed to have been extinguished like water being poured into water.
Jia Zheng saw that no one was moving. He saw that a good birthday was about to fall into a sad atmosphere again.
He hurriedly said, "Assistant Minister He is on good terms with me, so he can be considered your elder."
After saying this, he called the servant beside him and said, "Go and invite Assistant Minister He in."
The servant responded and ran out like a wisp of smoke.
It was the middle of spring. After the sun set, it was still cool.
He Shen stood in the courtyard. The wind was blowing, and it was obviously cold.
But he felt that from his chest to his whole body, it was clearly warm.
His anger had been completely extinguished at this moment.
