Parents.
Elder brother.
These were all things that she had never come into contact with before.
Even though she had already received a lot of things when she was in Gusu.
They were just handkerchiefs, fans, and clothes. They were not expensive items, but they always made Xue Yan cry.
Xue Yan had thought about what kind of people her mother and elder brother would be. However, when they were really in front of her, Xue Yan became slightly flustered, afraid that this was just a dream.
"Miss Xue Yan." The servants at the door hurriedly stood up and smiled at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan stepped through the door.
She avoided the servant.
Only then did she see the person standing outside.
She felt dizzy. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
"But Xue Yan …" The person had already turned around and spoke first, easing Xue Yan's unfamiliarity and nervousness.
"Yes."
The person smiled. "I sent you a letter before. Father should have mentioned me to you in the letter."
Xue Yan said softly, "Elder brother."
The person smiled even more warmly and asked Xue Yan in detail.
How was she doing?
He had enough money to ask about everything, big or small. He was very thoughtful.
Xue Yan was moved.
He asked in a low voice, "Are you serving Miss Lin?"
"Yes."
"Your master specially sent a letter to my master.
Master told me to ask how your Miss is doing when I come to see you today. "
Xue Yan was stunned. "Elder brother's master?"
"My master went to the Imperial Censor's Mansion in the early years.
Your Miss should know who he is. "
Xue Yan was stunned. "May I know his name?"
The person shook his head.
He didn't say his name.
Instead, he whispered to Xue Yan about other things.
He had only said a few words, but his advice was thorough and thorough, without leaving anything out.
Xue Yan was more and more surprised.
She opened her mouth. "Where's the girl?"
The man put a hand on her shoulder. "Keep everything in your heart. Don't show everything on your face."
Xue Yan had no choice but to shut his mouth and nod heavily.
Only then did that person speak in a low voice, "The servant girl given by the old mistress naturally cannot be neglected.
But you have to be able to handle it.
If she was someone who was willing to do what was best for Miss Lin, it would naturally be good.
But if it was a bad one …
You have to be sure of your position and always remember that you're the servant that Miss Lin brought from home. You were the person closest to Miss Lin just now.
If you're weak and easy to bully, others will also think that Miss Lin is easy to bully. "
No one had ever pointed this out to Xue Yan before. She opened her eyes wide and nodded blankly.
Although she didn't quite understand, this was Miss Lin's maternal ancestral home. How could something like bullying Miss Lin happen?
"You were so close to Miss Lin in the past, and you should be so in the future.
You have to know what's important and what's not.
You must not tarnish Miss Lin's reputation. "After saying this, that person paused and sighed." My master values your girl very much.
In the future, if she encounters trouble and you don't know how to deal with it, you can just send a message. "
Xue Yan immediately became nervous. "How, how can I send a message?"
If someone from the inner residence sent a message to someone from the outer residence, it would be a serious offense.
That person smiled. "You don't have to worry about this matter. My master has already taken care of it.
He definitely won't let you suffer. "
That person looked at Xue Yan lovingly. "I'm your older brother. How could I harm you?"
Xue Yan bit her lip and asked, "Is Older Brother's master very powerful?"
That person smiled and said with pride, "He's the top scholar this year."
Xue Yan naturally knew how powerful he was and immediately widened her eyes.
Seeing Xue Yan like this, his heart softened. He raised his hand and patted her head. "Go.
Mother told me to bring this to you. "
Xue Yan happily took it and found that there were still things that girls liked to use inside.
They were all things that didn't seem very eye-catching, but they all contained a strong sense of care.
"Go."
Xue Yan nodded and left.
Seeing her figure gradually disappear, that person thought that if his younger sister was still alive, she would probably do the same.
When he turned around, his expression immediately changed.
It was time to report to the young master.
Jia Zheng led He Shen to his courtyard.
After they sat down, they didn't say much before a servant girl came in and reported, "Baoyu is here."
Jia Zheng's expression immediately darkened. "What is he doing here?"
"He's here to apologize to Father." The young man's weak voice sounded from inside the door.
Just as he finished speaking, the young master had already strode in, and there was a skinny servant beside him supporting him.
He Shen rubbed the sides of the teacup twice and looked at the famous Jia Baoyu.
He was exactly the same as described in the book.
He wore a jeweled crown, a golden headband, red arrow sleeves, and a spiked coat.
His face was pink and full of affection.
However, his good looks were a bit pale. Coupled with his weak expression, he looked as if he had been ill for a long time.
However, this person was not as weak as he appeared to be, because after he stood still, his gaze instantly landed on He Shen's body, and even the depths of his eyes lit up.
"Stand up straight and talk," Jia Zheng said sternly.
In fact, if it were in the past, Jia Zheng wouldn't be so strict when he saw Baoyu like this.
However, at this time, He Shen was still on the side. When Jia Zheng saw Baoyu's weak posture, he felt even angrier.
Baoyu was shocked by Jia Zheng's roar and managed to stand still.
"Father, I know I was wrong."
He lowered his head, but his eyes were secretly glancing at He Shen. He didn't look like he knew he was wrong at all.
Even if he came to apologize, it would be Lady Wang who coaxed him to come.
Jia Zheng's expression softened a little. He asked, "Doctor, how many days will you be well?"
"I'll have to lie down for three to five days."
As they were talking, someone came in from outside to report that the Xue Pan was here to visit him.
Jia Zheng felt a headache coming on.
Why did she come at this time?
He was afraid that He Shen would laugh at her.
He Shen took the initiative to ask, "Is she the son of the Xue family?"
He wanted to see this Xue Pan.
Jia Zheng nodded. He had no choice but to wave his hand to let her in.
At this time, on the other side, Xue Yan had just returned to the green screen cabinet.
Daiyu saw her step in with a smile on her face. He couldn't help but tease her, "Are you happy now?"
Xue Yan nodded hard, "Yes, I'm happy."
Speaking of this, Xue Yan paused, "Coincidentally, the master of the family that my brother's father serves seems to have some friendship with Master."
Daiyu, "Which uncle is it?"
"I don't know.
He should be quite old, in his forties or fifties. "
Xue Yan didn't think about He Shen at all. She only thought that since he was the top scorer, he must be quite old.
What He Shen wanted to do was to get rid of the twists and turns of the past few years. He wanted to win Qianlong's favor from the very beginning.
Xuan Tong Daozhang didn't know He Shen's plan. He sighed, "What am I going to do now that you're leaving?" Xuan Tong Daozhang looked at him with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
He Shen, "…"
"Bring me a brush and paper."
Xuan Tong Daozhang knew that He Shen was going to write the prescription. He immediately shut up and waved to the Little Taoist beside him.
The Little Taoist was also a clever person. He quickly fetched a piece of paper, ink, brush and an inkstone.
Xuan Tong Daozhang rolled up his sleeves and began to grind the ink by himself.
In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, He Shen finished writing the prescription.
Xuan Tong Daozhang carefully took it, blew the ink dry, and then carefully put it into his pocket. He asked, "This is for the master today."
"Yes."
He Shen took the steaming handkerchief from the Little Taoist and slowly wiped his fingers. He didn't want to write more prescriptions.
"You don't want to write a few more?" Xuan Tong Daozhang asked tentatively.
"I gave you a few in the past. It's enough for you.
In the future, if you can't solve the problem, you can't offend them.
You can write a letter to the capital. "
Xuan Tong Daozhang heaved a sigh of relief. He was relieved and immediately greeted him warmly, "Young Master, why don't you have dinner in the Taoist temple today?"
He Shen waved his hand, "No, it's not early. I have to take my younger brother home."
Xuan Tong Daozhang looked at his expression and sighed in his heart. In the end, he didn't force He Shen to stay and personally saw him out of the Taoist temple.
When He Shen and He Lin's figures gradually disappeared, Xuan Tong Daozhang couldn't help but shake his head, "He's still so young. I can't see through him."
The Little Taoist looked at Xuan Tong Daozhang in confusion.
"Many people come in and out of this Taoist temple, but none of them are as difficult to please as him.
He seems to not care about anything and has an indifferent temperament. "Xuan Tong Daozhang narrowed his eyes," I don't know what kind of terrifying achievements he will have in the future. "
The Little Taoist was still in a daze, "Why, why?"
"Haven't you heard of the principle that one can be strong without desire?" Xuan Tong Daozhang knocked on his head, "Idiot, idiot."
The man waited in the Taoist temple for three days and finally got the prescription. At the same time, he also got a small jar of pills that had already been made.
The man thanked Xuan Tong Daozhang excitedly. After putting away the pills, the man suddenly thought of the child from three days ago.
"May I ask where the young master is now? I want to thank him."
"He's no longer here."
The man couldn't help but feel that it was a pity.
Although he still didn't know where the prescription came from and didn't know how much effort the child had put into it, he always felt that he should thank the young master.
The man lowered his head and glanced at his daughter who was following at his feet. His daughter's face was pale. Obviously, she wasn't acclimatized to the environment here and couldn't bear it anymore.
The man couldn't stay any longer. He could only sigh in his heart. He was afraid that they wouldn't be fated to meet again. He picked up his daughter and was about to leave.
When they walked to the door, Xuan Tong Daozhang suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Master Lin, the young master asked me to pass on a message to you."
The man turned his head in confusion.
Xuan Tong Daozhang's gaze fell on his daughter. "The young master asked Master Lin to take good care of your daughter in the future. Your daughter's body is weak and can't fall sick."
The man couldn't help but laugh. "This is something that should be done." Why did he need to specially instruct him?
The man felt that the young master was really doing something extra. However, when he thought about it, he also felt that the young master had good intentions. He nodded in agreement and then took his leave.
When they got back on the sedan, his daughter, who had been leaning on his chest, softly asked, "Father, what's that little brother's name?"
The man was speechless. "He … he didn't leave his name."
The little girl's face showed some disappointment, but she immediately became happy again. "Let's go home."
"En, let's go home." The man hugged her tightly and smiled.
This year, it was the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-fifth year of Qianlong. He Shen was admitted to Xian 'an Palace.
At this point, the Niotuolu family was no longer able to control He Shen and his brother.
This year, there was also a family in Yangzhou. The head of the family was seriously ill. It looked like she was just one breath away.
The only young lady in the family also fell ill because of her mother's severe illness. After she recovered, her body became even weaker.
He Shen didn't know about these things.
He was busy looking for a teacher for his younger brother, He Lin.
There were many influential families in the capital. He Shen and his brother didn't seem so eye-catching. They didn't have an adult to make decisions for them. Although He Shen had entered an official school, he wasn't considered very powerful in the capital. Ordinary people simply didn't have the patience to teach a child.
At this time, someone who was indebted to He Shen pushed a Jinshi in front of him.
"This person originally had some talent. After he became a Jinshi, he went to become a magistrate.
However, he was muddle-headed for a moment. Because of his greed and favoritism, he was removed from his position. Now, he has nowhere to go. "
He Shen suddenly understood. He was wondering why a Jinshi would be willing to be a teacher for a child.
"May I know this person's name? Is he in the capital now?"
That person smiled. "This person's surname is Jia. His given name is Hua. His courtesy name is Shifei."
He Shen didn't know why, but he felt that this name was very familiar. However, he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
That person smiled again. "He has another nickname, Yucun.
He often goes by this nickname.
Others also call him by this name. "
Yucun
Jia Yucun.
No wonder his name was so familiar.
He Shen felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was really shocked.
Isn't this a character in the Dream of the Red Chamber?
He became a Jinshi but was removed from his position because of his greed and favoritism.
This was Jia Yucun's experience in the Dream of the Red Chamber.
He Shen didn't think about anything else. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind. Doesn't this mean that there is still a Sister Lin in this world?
That's right.
When he came to the capital, he heard about Rongguo Province and Ningguo Mansion.
However, the name of such a mansion sounded too common. He didn't immediately think of the Dream of the Red Chamber.
"He is in the capital. If you want to see him, I can make an appointment tomorrow and invite him over for you."
He Shen nodded randomly. His mind was no longer on Jia Yucun.
He Shen was born in a medical family in his previous life. However, he studied law in university. After graduation, he worked as a judge for a few years. After that, he resigned and went into business.
He was a person who could calm down and study. There were very few things that he couldn't do.
All of this was due to the fact that when he was young, he had seriously read the Four Great Classical Novels over and over again. This had completely polished his character.
It could be said that he was very familiar with the plot of the Dream of the Red Chamber.
Sister Lin happened to be one of the characters that he liked the most.
However, Jia Yucun had just been removed from his position this year. Didn't that mean that Daiyu was only six years old this year?
He Shen's heart was slightly moved when he thought of being able to see his Sister Lin when he was a child.
There was nothing more delightful than having your favorite character break through the dimension and walk to your side.
When He Shen finally woke up from the shock, the people around him had already left.
He Shen took a sip of tea. His fingers unconsciously rubbed the armrest of the chair.
However, if Jia Yucun became He Lin's teacher, he wouldn't be able to go to Yangzhou and become Daiyu's teacher. How about I ask Jia Yucun to bring He Lin along and study by his side?
He Shen put down his teacup and stood up. He already had a vague plan in his heart.
A few days later, that person indeed invited Jia Yucun over.
Just like what was written in the book, this person had a round waist, a thick back, a broad face, square ears, sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a straight nose, and strong cheeks.
He had the temperament of a scholar-official in ancient times.
Jia Yucun was very smart and knew how to judge the situation. He didn't underestimate He Shen. After a meal, he decided to be He Lin's teacher.
However, he was immediately surprised.
"You want He Lin to study with me?"
He Shen nodded. "Studying behind closed doors. Even if I can learn a lot from Brother Jia, it's still not enough.
If I can go out of my house and see the scenery of other places, not only will it broaden my mind, but it will also give me a different experience from reading books. "
Upon hearing this, Jia Yucun's eyes became brighter and brighter. He said loudly, "Exactly!" He originally had the intention to travel, but he was invited to be a teacher halfway through, so he gave up the idea.
Now that it was mentioned again, his intention became even stronger.
"Then it's settled."
Jia Yucun nodded repeatedly. He felt that He Shen had similar interests. Even if He Shen wasn't even twenty years old, he already had the intention of treating him as a close friend.
He Shen accompanied Jia Yucun to drink tea and talked a lot before sending him away.
After talking with Jia Yucun, He Shen finally had the feeling of deeply coming into contact with the world of the Dream of the Red Chamber.
He took a deep breath and calmed down a little. Then, he turned around and went into the study.
A few days later, Jia Yucun prepared to take He Lin out.
He Shen didn't lack money now. He bought a manservant, a maidservant, and a cart driver who knew some martial arts for the two of them.
In addition, he gave He Lin and Jia Yucun some money.
Only then did he let the two of them go.
Letting He Lin go on a study tour wasn't just to let Jia Yucun continue to be Daiyu's teacher.
Just as He Shen said, he did think that it was useless to build a cart behind closed doors. Only by going out, could there be a wider world.
He could support this family with his own strength, but at the same time, he also hoped that He Lin could become an outstanding person in the future.
After they left, He Shen felt uneasy for a long time. He kept thinking about whether He Lin had suffered, whether he was sick, whether he had enough money to spend.
Then, he couldn't help but wonder whether Jia Yucun had met Lin Ruhai when they arrived in Yangzhou. Did He Lin meet Sister Lin before he did?
These complicated feelings all disappeared when He Lin personally wrote his first letter home.
Jia Yucun took good care of He Lin.
He Shen was completely relieved.
In the blink of an eye, it was July.
He Shen received Jia Yucun's letter saying that he had arrived in Yangzhou and was afraid that he would have to stay for a while.
He Shen just finished his studies at Xian 'an Palace. He didn't delay and brought his manservant, maidservant, and money to Yangzhou.
He had done so much to prepare for this day.
The reason why he kept Jia Yucun was not only because he was smart and had some ability, but also because He Shen could use Jia Yucun's influence to see Daiyu when he was young.
After traveling for a month, He Shen arrived in Yangzhou.
He had already sent a letter to Jia Yucun. As soon as he arrived, Jia Yucun personally came to welcome him.
"It's only been a few months, but Brother Zhizhai has grown a lot." Jia Yucun smiled and said, "It must have been hard on the road."
"It's okay.
Where's He Lin? "
"In the Imperial Censor's residence." Jia Yucun's tone was a little awkward when he said this.
Obviously, he had already become a guest of Daiyu, but he still had a student, He Lin, by his side. This was a little unfair to He Shen.
"The Imperial Censor's residence?" He Shen pretended not to know and asked in confusion.
Jia Yucun hurriedly explained to He Shen in detail and didn't forget to apologize.
He Shen already knew this would happen. Of course, he was magnanimous and said, "It's fine. But I'm a little curious about Brother Yucun's female student."
"This female student is very young. It's very easy to teach her," Jia Yucun said as he led He Shen to the Imperial Censor's residence.
He Shen pretended not to know anything and listened to Jia Yucun with great interest.
Although he had already seen it in Dream of the Red Chamber, hearing Jia Yucun talking about Daiyu gave him a different feeling.
He Shen's curiosity was really piqued. He couldn't wait to see this Sister Lin.
After traveling for a full hour, the carriage stopped outside the main gate of the residence.
A servant came out to welcome them, put down the footstool, and allowed them to alight from the carriage.
Jia Yucun often went in and out of the residence, so the servants in the residence had already recognized him. When they saw that he had brought a young master, they couldn't help but look at him curiously.
Then, they were intimidated by He Shen's imposing manner and hurriedly turned to report to Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai loved his daughter very much. As Daiyu's teacher, Jia Yucun was naturally highly regarded by him.
In addition, Jia Yucun had some skills, so naturally, Lin Ruhai appreciated him even more.
Therefore, he never neglected Jia Yucun.
When he heard that Jia Yucun had brought someone over, he didn't care about his pride and personally came out to welcome them.
However, when he stepped out, he and He Shen couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.
"So, so it's the young master." Lin Ruhai was overjoyed and reached out to support He Shen's arm.
He Shen quickly regained his senses, "So it's fate. I didn't expect to meet the Yangzhou Imperial Censor in my early years."
Who was this man?
Wasn't he the man he met in the Taoist temple who brought the little girl to ask for medicine but failed to get it?
He Shen's mind was filled with hundreds of thoughts.
In other words, the little girl at that time was Daiyu when she was four years old.
He actually met her so early, so early.
It was really fate.
He Shen looked at Lin Ruhai again, smiled slightly, and asked, "Is your father in good health?"
Lin Ruhai's face immediately fell. He didn't try to hide the worry between his eyebrows at all. He probably thought that the person in front of him was someone close to him, "Not good, not good. It's getting worse."
He Shen furrowed his eyebrows.
It shouldn't be.
Although he didn't become a doctor in his previous life, he read many medical books at home.
He came into contact with both western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.
It wasn't difficult for him to treat these illnesses with his medical skills.
Unless …
"Your father is bedridden every day with a worried frown."
"Yes."
He Shen shook his head and said, "Your father has accumulated a lot of depression in his heart. It's not something medicine can relieve him."
Lin Ruhai's face was gloomy, and he couldn't say anything.
"If there's nothing wrong, I'd like to see your daughter," He Shen said in a low voice.
When he said this, his heart beat faster.
Even if he already knew that the little girl that day was Daiyu, seeing her again after knowing, his feelings were still very different.
Jia Yucun said, "He Lin, the student I left in the Lin Mansion, is his younger brother."
Lin Ruhai said in surprise, "So it's him. I didn't recognize him."
"Children change every day. It's not strange that you didn't recognize him," He Shen said with a smile.
Lin Ruhai pondered for a while and said, "If you want to see my daughter, it's fine." Lin Ruhai noticed that He Shen had an extraordinary way of talking. He had quite a lot of insight when it came to the art of medicine.
Lin Ruhai couldn't help but remember what Xuan Tong Daozhang said to him when he left the Taoist temple.
At that time, he thought that he would naturally take good care of his daughter. Who would have thought that he still didn't take care of her and let Daiyu fall ill?
Of course, it was a good thing to let He Shen take a look at her now.
He Shen couldn't be bothered to see He Lin at this time.
With Lin Ruhai leading the way, He Shen followed him into a courtyard.
The shrill voice of a little girl came from the courtyard.
He Jin looked inside and saw two young maidservants surrounding a young lady wearing a silver-red round-collared robe and a lotus-colored pleated skirt. They were chattering incessantly and didn't seem to be the slightest bit steady.
Not far away, two older girls were sitting with their heads down and doing needlework.
He heard footsteps.
The girls didn't react, but the little girl raised her head first. The hairstyle on her head was very small and delicate, which immediately made her look a little childish.
"Father," the little girl called out. It seemed that she was about to walk over.
He Shen's heart unconsciously tightened as he waited for the little girl to call him.
What should she call him?
Oh, he was a few years older. She should call him "Brother."
Her voice should be sweet, right?
He Shen waited for a while, but he didn't hear Daiyu calling him.
He only saw her walking over, holding Lin Ruhai's hand and looking at him with some confusion.
Obviously, she didn't recognize him.
He Shen was disappointed for a while, but he didn't want to show it. He could only suppress his emotions and comfort himself.
When she met Daiyu, she was very young, so it was normal that she didn't remember.
But just as he was thinking.
Daiyu said to Lin Ruhai in a delicate voice, "I've seen this brother before."
He Shen's heart tightened.
He felt as if thousands of fireworks exploded in his heart at the same time.
His heart was filled with joy and joy.
It turned out that she didn't forget.
Things like American ginseng, Western bells, and exquisite colored glazed bowls were rare for Yin Chun and Xichun.
But Baoyu was held in the palm of Mother Jia's hand like a precious pearl. How could he not have seen these things before?
Baoyu's attention was now focused on Daiyu.
Baoyu was very happy.
This sister of his aunt's family finally treated him a little better. She was actually willing to give these things to him.
So Baoyu hugged the box in his arms and didn't show it to anyone.
"With the ginseng that sister gave me, I don't feel any pain." Baoyu smiled brightly. He had good facial features, so his smile naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Xue Baochai had been in Rongguo Province for a long time. Baoyu and Daiyu couldn't talk to each other before, so he would choose some time to talk to Baochai.
Now that he heard Baoyu's intimate tone with everyone, Baochai couldn't help but take a second look.
Daiyu pursed her lips. She really didn't know what to say.
Although she and Baoyu were cousins, they weren't close enough. If she said that, wouldn't it be a little frivolous? Daiyu's gaze quietly swept around, but he didn't see any surprised expressions on the others' faces.
It seemed to be normal.
Daiyu was shocked. She quietly held Ying Ge's arm and prepared to find an excuse to leave first.
The girls in her maternal family were all good, but this Baoyu always made people feel scared for no reason.
At this time, Baoyu's gaze fell on Ying Ge again. He said, "Ying Ge used to follow Old Ancestor, and now he's with Sister Lin. Did you take good care of your sister?"
Ying Ge's expression became strange for a moment.
Baoyu really shouldn't have asked that.
But Ying Ge still smiled and answered appropriately.
Baoyu's temper was always lively. At this time, she heard him say again, "Ying Ge isn't a good name. It's not good. Since you're already with your sister, then you should change your name."
Baoyu said and looked at Daiyu. He said, "Sister Xi Ren also used to serve Old Ancestor. At that time, she was called Zhenzhu. Later, Old Ancestor made the decision to change her name and gave it to me."
Baoyu seemed to like it very much. This small detail was similar to Daiyu. As he said that, he smiled even more brightly.
Daiyu just blinked slowly and didn't say anything.
Ying Ge was given to her by Old Ancestor. She just came to the Jia Mansion. How could she make the decision to change Ying Ge's name? Not to mention other things, it wouldn't be good if people misunderstood that she was dissatisfied with Old Ancestor.
But Baoyu was interested. He said, "Ying Ge is too boring and doesn't have much spiritual energy.
Why don't you change your name to Zi Juan from now on? "
Baoyu had always been doted on by Old Ancestor. Whatever he said, as long as it didn't involve a big matter, he had the final say.
Ying Ge saw through it clearly, so he immediately smiled and said, "Then I have to thank Second Master for giving me a name."
Ying Ge's words were too formal. When Baoyu heard it, he felt that it was boring and didn't have the mood to continue talking.
Daiyu then changed the way he addressed her and said, "Zi Juan, my body is a little cold."
Zi Juan met Daiyu's eyes. At first, she was stunned. Then, she understood Daiyu's meaning. She frowned and said, "You were fine before we left. I'm afraid that you won't be exposed to the wind anymore."
The others, including Baoyu, became anxious. They hurriedly said, "Why don't you go back and rest first?"
"That's right, that's right. We can still meet in the future."
Baochai also walked forward and said, "That's right. Younger Sister, don't catch a cold. Otherwise, the previous doctor's treatment will be ruined."
Daiyu looked up at her. She had a feeling that Baochai could tell that she was faking her illness.
However, Baochai's expression didn't change. She could only nod and let Zi Juan support her. Then, she led Xue Yan back to the jade screen cabinet.
Daiyu and the others' figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
Baoyu sighed and groaned behind them. Her spirits were dampened.
Tanchun teased her for a while and felt that it was too boring. She brought her two sisters back to Xue Baochai's place to talk.
When they returned to the jade screen cabinet.
Daiyu couldn't help but ask, "Are those things very rare?"
"Young Lady, you probably haven't seen them in Gusu before. These things are popular in the capital.
It's just that most people have heard of them, but very few people have seen them.
They were all brought back from overseas. It's said that even the palace doesn't have them. "After Zi Juan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered to ask," Young Lady, did you send them out today? "
"They were all just sent here." Daiyu frowned slightly, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sent such rare things."
Originally, when she saw so many things sent over, she thought that they wouldn't be expensive.
When she came to Rongguo Province alone, she didn't bring many things with her. Even if she wanted to give something away, she didn't have much to take out. That was why she randomly picked a box of things from the things sent by her older brother.
Daiyu didn't feel uneasy in her heart.
However, in terms of relationship, she should be closer to that older brother. Now that she looked at it again, she felt that it was a pity to give it to Baoyu.
Zi Juan said, "But Young Lady's family sent it." Zi Juan misunderstood Daiyu's meaning and said, "Young Lady, you don't need to worry. No one will gossip because of the weight of the gifts."
Only then did Daiyu realize what she meant.
It turned out that if the gifts were too heavy, it would make her closer to Baoyu.
Daiyu frowned again.
She only hoped that Baoyu wouldn't misunderstand.
"Older Sister Zi Juan." Someone called out from outside the room.
Zi Juan acknowledged and excused herself from Daiyu. She then went outside the room to speak.
Xue Yan waited by the table and stammered, "Young Lady, aren't you … aren't you going to reply to that side?"
"That side." Daiyu paused, "You mean the people who sent the gifts over? That side?"
Xue Yan nodded.
This was what her older brother had told her before. He said that she should remember to remind Young Lady to keep in touch with that side.
Although it was against the rules, Xue Yan felt half relieved when she saw the gifts.
It was so well-ironed that she couldn't find anything wrong with it. Moreover, it was done in the open. Since this was done under Second Master's watch, it was unlikely that the Young Lady would be put in danger.
Daiyu pursed her lips. She seemed to be a little moved.
"Xue Yan, grind the ink for me."
"Okay."
"Young Lady, the Old Ancestor sent someone to deliver the medicine." Zi Juan's voice suddenly came closer.
Daiyu was originally deliberating whether or not her words had crossed the line, but now she couldn't care less. She hurriedly closed the letter, stuffed it into a prepared envelope, and handed it to Xue Yan.
Xue Yan immediately tucked it into her clothes.
At this moment, Zi Juan stepped through the door.
There were a few servant girls following behind her.
One of the maidservants came forward with the medicine. Another maidservant bowed and said, "Miss Lin."
