She was not close to her two uncles.

She had only seen them a few times.

She did not say much to them.

When First Uncle saw her, he was impatient.

When Second Uncle saw her, he was serious and rigid.

Gradually, Daiyu was a little afraid of them.

Why was everything fine?

Second Uncle even sent something over?

Could it be that Aunt made the decision?

Ying Ge was also stunned. "It shouldn't be.

It's just that Second Master didn't say it clearly. "

Xue Yan, who was at the side, opened her mouth.

She was about to say something, but then she remembered the instructions that day.

She looked at the people around her cautiously and finally closed her mouth.

After all, there was no hurry to say it at this time.

"Then put it down first," Daiyu said.

She was not interested in these things.

After all, the Gusu Lin family was not a small family.

She was not someone who had not seen the world.

It was just that she was grateful for this friendship.

She just wanted to take a closer look later.

Ying Ge responded and asked the servant girls to put down the boxes. Then, she led the people out.

After they left …

Xue Yan walked to Daiyu's side.

"Miss, don't you want to take a look?"

Xue Yan had been a lot quieter recently. Daiyu rarely saw her take the initiative to speak. At this time, she could not help but be slightly surprised.

She nodded.

She reached out to take the things in the box.

She said, "I don't know who it is …"

Only then did the Snow Goose find an opening.

She said in a low voice, "I think it should be my brother's master?"

"That uncle?" Daiyu asked.

While they were talking …

Daiyu had already taken out a brocade box from inside.

That brocade box was more exquisite than the box outside. It was fastened with jade. It looked expensive.

Daiyu unfastened the fastener and opened the lid. What entered her eyes were some silver and gold.

There was even a letter underneath.

"This is …" Daiyu touched the silver coins with her slender fingers and was stunned. "What is it for?"

Xue Yan thought for a moment and said, "Is it used to reward people?

I've heard the people in the mansion say that the masters are very generous to their servants. They often reward their servants with small pieces of silver and gold coins. If anyone is rewarded, they will have a lot of face.

Rumor has it that there are still people outside who treat the gold ingots in the mansion as treasures. "

Daiyu was slightly surprised. "So that's what it's for."

Her mother had never mentioned these things to her when she was alive, so she was really unfamiliar with them.

Xue Yan smiled and said, "You're right, Elder Brother. His master is a good person."

Daiyu nodded in agreement.

Especially after experiencing Rongguo Province's seemingly doting, but in fact lacking a lot of considerate and considerate actions, she felt a lot more comfortable in her heart.

She just didn't know which uncle this person was.

With this thought in mind, Daiyu picked up the letter and opened it. She quickly unfolded the letter and saw the lines of clear and handsome words.

It was really, really too familiar!

Daiyu's eyes widened slightly.

When she took a closer look, her heart started to pound uncontrollably, as if it was going to jump out of her chest.

She pressed the letter against her chest and then reacted. She whispered to Xue Yan, "Bring me a candle."

Xue Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He went straight to the candlestick.

Daiyu glanced at the letter again. Just now, she had lit it with fire. After it burned out, she threw it into the hand warmer and it disappeared without a trace.

Daiyu let out a sigh of relief and finally felt a little more relaxed.

The letter wasn't sent by any uncle, but by her older brother.

He was only a few years older than her. If someone else saw it, it would be hard to explain.

"Young Miss." Ying Ge's voice came from outside the door.

Daiyu hurriedly handed the box to Xue Yan and put it away. Only then did she respond in a low voice.

"Second Young Miss and the others are waiting for you."

"Okay, I'm coming." Daiyu stood up and held the hand warmer in her hand. She inexplicably felt a lot more at ease.

When she reached the door, Daiyu asked again, "How is Older Cousin?"

"He said he'll be fine after lying down for a few more days."

Daiyu didn't know why, but her mood was good at this time. She said, "Older Cousin is sick. I should go take a look at him some other day."

Ying Ge nodded, but she felt that Miss Lin's words had a sense of alienation.

She should go take a look.

She said it as if she was forced to because of their familial relationship and etiquette.

Ying Ge didn't say anything in the end. She remembered what someone else had told her.

No matter how capable a servant girl was, she had to be loyal to her master first before she could be considered capable.

Now that Miss Lin was her master, she naturally couldn't show off in front of her …

Daiyu was still thinking that she should go take a look at Jia Baoyu some other day.

But when she entered the garden, other than her sisters, she also saw Baoyu, who was chatting happily with a servant girl.

Daiyu pursed her lips. It wasn't good for her to go forward.

Not far away, there was a girl with thin shoulders and a slim waist.

That girl turned around and hugged Daiyu. She smiled and said, "Why are you standing there and not making a sound?"

Daiyu called out in a low voice, "Third Younger Sister."

This girl was Tanchun.

"Miss Bao is also here, so I wanted to invite you to come over and talk with you for a while." Tanchun said.

Daiyu had heard some rumors saying that she wasn't as approachable as Miss Bao, who had just entered the residence. She didn't like other people, so people didn't want to get close to her.

Daiyu was still young. When she talked about Baochai, she felt a bit awkward. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the hand warmer in her hand.

Tanchun didn't know the inside story and led Daiyu forward. After walking a few steps, she heard Baoyu talking to someone.

"I've seen that young master before. Even father praised him for his literary talent and outstanding intelligence."

She then heard the servant girl ask, "How does he look?"

"He looks even better.

He's taller than me and Xue Pan. He's very tall.

His facial features are also very good.

This kind of person makes people want to get close to him, but also makes people afraid. "

"Why?"

"He looks scary. He's clearly smiling, but in front of him, he behaves himself." When Baoyu said this, she felt a bit embarrassed and didn't continue.

However, the admiration in her eyes hadn't disappeared.

Jia Baoyu didn't like to read because he always felt that those who read too many sage books were pedantic and stupid. There was no spiritual energy in their bones.

He didn't like men even more. He always felt that men weren't as clean and pure as women.

He was also the only child in the family. Normally, there wasn't anyone who could catch his eye.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think that if he had a powerful older brother, he would be like that young master.

… …

Daiyu stopped and listened for a while. She vaguely heard that Jia Baoyu seemed to be talking about that older brother.

However, was that older brother the top scorer in this examination that Xue Yan talked about?

They hadn't seen each other for a few years. Had he become so amazing?

"Is Miss Lin here?" Suddenly, she heard a voice ask.

Daiyu looked over and saw a girl with almond-shaped eyes. Her appearance was plump and her bearing was refined and elegant. She wore a honey-colored dress and didn't wear any extra hairpins. The dress was neither new nor old and didn't look extravagant at all.

The girl took the initiative to walk over. She didn't seem very friendly, but her attitude made people feel that she was very close.

"I finally saw Miss Lin," she said with a smile.

"Bao Jiejie."

Daiyu called out first, then said, "My body is usually weak, so I don't go out often. I'm afraid that I'll catch a cold."

Baochai was slightly surprised. "Then did you invite a doctor?"

"I did. I started taking medicine when I was peeing."

Baochai heard this and said with a smile, "I also take medicine all the time."

Baoyu heard this and asked, "What kind of medicine does Bao Jiejie take?

You should have the fu prepare it as well. "

"My medicine isn't easy to prepare.

In the past, I couldn't find a doctor to treat me. Later on, a monk came. I don't know where he got a prescription from, but he also gave me a packet of medicinal powder to use as a guiding medicine. It's very fragrant.

It's strange. When I'm sick, I'll be fine after taking a pill. "

When Daiyu heard this, she didn't feel any surprise or curiosity.

Her medicine was given to her by her older brother, so she felt that it was better than some prescription from the sea.

Baoyu asked again, "What kind of prescription from the sea is it?"

"The ingredients for this prescription are all limited. I need twelve taels of white peonies that bloom in the spring, twelve taels of white lotus that bloom in the summer, twelve taels of white hibiscus that bloom in the autumn, and twelve taels of white plum blossoms that bloom in the winter … …"

The people around them were already shocked and felt that it was very strange.

Baoyu thought of Daiyu again, so he turned his head and asked, "What kind of medicine does Sister Lin take?

Do you have a prescription? "

"It's just an ordinary pill." Daiyu lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "The Old Ancestor has already asked the fu to prepare it."

In comparison, Daiyu's medicine seemed very ordinary. Naturally, there wasn't much to ask.

"What kind of illness does Sister Lin have?" Baoyu asked.

"She got it when she was in her mother's womb."

When Baoyu heard this, he looked at her and saw that this Miss Lin wasn't weak at all. Her face also had a light red color, and she had a romantic attitude.

He smiled and said, "The doctor that Sister Lin hired must be very skilled. Sister Lin seems to be very healthy now."

Daiyu was just thinking about He Shen. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "Yes."

"It just so happens that Older Cousin is also here today." Daiyu turned her head and ordered Xue Yan, "Go get the box on the table."

Baoyu was curious, "What is this for?"

"It's for Older Cousin."

Baoyu rarely saw such a good face like Daiyu. He was overjoyed and waited patiently.

Not long after, Xue Yan came back with a box.

"Older Cousin is sick. I don't know what to give him." Daiyu had Xue Yan bring the box up.

He opened it and took a look.

The people around him exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, isn't this one of those rare things from the sea?"

"Isn't it in the Old Ancestor's room?"

They had all seen it before, but it wasn't something that anyone could hold in their hands.

It was said that this kind of thing was rare even in the palace.

Daiyu pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Was it rare?

This was one of the things that Older Brother had given him.

He Shen took out a silk handkerchief and leisurely wiped his hands as he said indifferently, "I wonder how Miss Lin is doing.

After all, she is Brother Cunzhou's niece. It's better to send someone to take a look.

Miss Lin has been weak since she was a child. Baoyu's illness must have frightened her even more.

If she's sick, I'm afraid it won't be good for her. "

He Shen's words were flawless. Jia Zheng nodded, "Brother Zhizhai is right."

"Then send someone to go."

He Shen urged without leaving a trace, "Just say that I'm worried and ask about Miss Lin's recent situation. Only then will I feel at ease."

He Shen didn't want to sell this good news to Jia Zheng.

Of course, he wanted Daiyu to remember this good news to him.

Jia Zheng didn't notice He Shen's scheme. He immediately nodded and asked a first-class maid in the courtyard to pass on the message.

After a pause, Jia Zheng suddenly remembered that Baoyu's head was swollen like a pig's head. How could he be sent back?

Jia Zheng frowned and couldn't help but look worried.

He Shen saw this and said, "Brother Cunzhou has already solved the immediate crisis. Why are you still so worried?"

Jia Zheng said awkwardly, "Baoyu's appearance …"

"This appearance is good. After he wakes up, he'll remember that he shouldn't do ridiculous things."

He Shen paused and deliberately said, "Or is Brother Cunzhou worried about how to explain this to Old Madam?"

Jia Zheng nodded, "Exactly!

Old Madam loves and cherishes him the most. How could she bear to see him get hurt? "

He Shen's expression became serious and his tone became much colder, "Brother Cunzhou, what are you talking about?

Where is this place?

Rongguo Province!

Who is the master of the house?

Brother Cunzhou, it's you!

Brother Cunzhou, do you still remember your original intention of becoming an official?

Brother Cunzhou, you have to stick to your principles and teach your unruly son a lesson.

Do you have to be afraid of other people's criticism? "

"You're so timid. Can Brother Cunzhou still be considered a master in Rongguo Province?"

He Shen did not give Jia Zheng the slightest chance to interrupt. He waited for him to finish his speech like a cannon, sonorous and forceful.

Jia Zheng had already followed his logic and thought.

"Brother Zhizhai, you're right." Jia Zheng sighed softly, "I was blinded in the past."

Old Madam should respect him, but she shouldn't lose her dignity as the master of the house because of this.

He Shen was right.

Why would other people interfere and criticize Baoyu when disciplining him?

Jia Zheng looked at Baoyu again.

Baoyu's cheeks were swollen. He was confused and dizzy, as if he had been beaten silly.

But looking at his current appearance, he was much better than when he had been carried over.

Jia Zheng suppressed his heartache and said in a low voice, "Send Baoyu back."

The servants were already scared out of their wits. In Rongguo Province, which one of them wasn't a tyrant?

But at this moment, they didn't dare to raise their heads and look at He Shen.

They listened to Jia Zheng's instructions and didn't want to stay any longer. They hurriedly carried Baoyu out.

The two servants who were usually close to Baoyu were still thinking that when Baoyu woke up, they would warn him again and again.

It was okay to provoke anyone, but never Assistant Minister He!

He looked refined and polite, but deep down, he was a ruthless person who made people tremble.

He Shen walked back to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and pushed it to Jia Zheng's seat.

"Brother Cunzhou, you've worked hard. Sit down and have some tea to calm yourself down."

Jia Zheng nodded, walked back to sit down, and picked up the cup of tea.

He Shen poured himself another cup and said, "I'll wait for Miss Lin's reply before leaving."

Jia Zheng nodded again.

Jia Zheng didn't take the initiative to talk to He Shen again. He seemed to be deep in thought.

He Shen also didn't speak again.

For a moment, the hall fell into silence.

There were two things to talk about.

Back in the Jade Screen Cabinet, Daiyu casually picked up a book and flipped through it in boredom. After a long time, she couldn't read a single word.

Zi Juan and Xue Yan looked at each other. They both knew that Daiyu was worried about something, but they didn't know how to persuade him. They could only sit down beside Daiyu.

Just as the room was quiet, they suddenly heard a voice from outside.

Zi Juan stood up abruptly, "It sounds like Second Master's servant girl.

I'll go take a look. "

After Zi Juan walked out, Xue Yan leaned in to Daiyu's ear and said with a smile, "Maybe that young master sent something again."

Daiyu unconsciously pursed his lips and didn't say anything. However, his heart, which had been disturbed by Baoyu these past few days, warmed up a bit.

Actually, even if he didn't send anything, just a few words would be good.

As Daiyu thought about it, he didn't even realize that the book had slipped out of his hand.

Zi Juan was still talking outside, but it was different this time. The person who came didn't immediately leave. Instead, she walked in behind Zi Juan.

When she saw Daiyu, she bowed and said, "Miss Lin."

Her attitude couldn't be said to be disrespectful.

Daiyu had seen many servants in Rongguo Province who gave her face on the surface, but didn't treat her with sincerity.

Now that she saw this servant girl, who was so respectful that it didn't seem fake, she was a bit surprised.

"But does Second Uncle have any orders?" Daiyu asked.

When the servant girl recalled what had happened in the courtyard just now, she still felt her heart tremble.

She hurriedly adjusted her expression and said with a smile, "He came to the fu with Assistant Minister. He was talking with Second Master just now.

He even called Bao Er Ye over and talked with him for a while. "

Daiyu was stunned for a moment.

As expected, that older brother of hers really did come.

The servant girl continued, "After they finished talking, He Assistant Minister said that he would send someone to ask if Miss Lin was well.

Thus, Second Master sent me over. "

Daiyu's heart warmed again.

The reason why she didn't feel happy in Rongguo Province was because she didn't have much of a relationship with other people. No one really cared about her.
