Chapter 11
American ginseng, Western bells, exquisite colored glazed bowls … To Yin Chun and Xichun, these were rare.
But Baoyu was treated like a treasure by Mother Jia, so how could he not have seen these things before?
Baoyu's attention was now focused on Daiyu.
Baoyu was very happy.
This younger sister of his aunt's family was finally closer to him!
She was actually willing to give these things to him!
So Baoyu hugged the box in his arms and did not show it to anyone.
"With the ginseng given by my younger sister, I don't feel any pain." Baoyu smiled brightly. He was born with good features, so when he smiled like this, he naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Xue Baochai had been in Rongguo Province for a long time. Previously, Baoyu and Daiyu could not talk, so he would choose some time to talk to Baochai.
Now that he heard Baoyu's intimate tone with everyone, Baochai could not help but take a second look.
Daiyu pursed his lips and did not know what to say.
Although she and Baoyu were cousins, they were not close enough. Wouldn't it be a little frivolous to say this?
Daiyu's eyes quietly swept around, but he did not see any surprise on the faces of the people around him.
It seemed to be normal!
Daiyu was shocked. He 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 afraid for no reason.
At this time, Baoyu's eyes fell on Ying Ge again, and he said, "Ying Ge used to follow Old Ancestor, and now you follow Sister Lin. Have you taken good care of your younger sister?"
Ying Ge's expression became strange for a moment.
Baoyu's question was really inappropriate.
But Ying Ge still smiled and responded appropriately.
Baoyu's temperament was always lively. At this time, he said, "Ying Ge is not a good name, not good!
Since you're already by my younger sister's side, you should change your name. "
Baoyu looked at Daiyu and said, "Sister Xi Ren used to serve the Old Ancestor. She was called Pearl at that time. Later, the Old Ancestor changed her name and gave her to me …"
Baoyu seemed to like it very much. He was similar to Daiyu in such small details. As he spoke, he smiled even more brilliantly.
Daiyu only blinked slowly and did not reply.
Ying Ge was given to her by the Old Ancestor. She had just arrived at the Jia Mansion, so how could she change Ying Ge's name on her own accord?
Other things aside, it would not be good if people misunderstood that she was dissatisfied with the Old Ancestor.
But Baoyu was interested and said, "Ying Ge is too dull 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 the Old Ancestor. Whatever he said, as long as it didn't involve any major issues, he had the final say.
Ying Ge saw through it clearly, so he smiled and said, "Then I must 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 did not have any interest in continuing the conversation.
Daiyu changed the way he addressed her and said, "Zi Juan, my body is a little cold."
Zi Juan met Daiyu's eyes. At first, he was stunned, but then he understood Daiyu's meaning. He frowned and said, "You were fine before we left. Miss, I'm afraid you shouldn't be exposed to the wind anymore."
The others, including Baoyu, became anxious and 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. It will ruin the previous doctor's treatment …"
Daiyu raised his head and looked at her. He felt that Baochai could tell that she was faking her illness.
However, Baochai's expression did not change. She could only nod and let Zi Juan support her. Then, she led the Xue Yan back to the Jade Screen Cabinet.
Daiyu and the others' figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
Baoyu sighed and groaned behind them. His interest was even lower.
Tanchun teased them for a while and felt that it was too boring. She took the two sisters and went to Xue Baochai's place to talk.
They returned to the Jade Screen Cabinet.
Daiyu could not help but ask, "Are those things very rare?"
"Miss, you 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 there are very few of them in the palace. "After Zi Juan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered to ask," Miss, did you send them out today … "
"They were all just sent here," Daiyu frowned slightly, "If I had known, I wouldn't have sent such rare things."
Originally, when she saw so many things sent over, she thought that they would not be expensive.
When she came to Rongguo Manor alone, she didn't bring many things with her. Even if she wanted to give some things away, she didn't have much to take out. Thus, she casually picked a box from the things that her brother had sent over.
Daiyu did not feel uneasy at all.
However, in terms of relationship, she should be closer to her brother. Now that she looked at it again … she felt that it was a pity to give it to Baoyu.
Zi Juan asked, "Did Miss' family send it?"
Zi Juan misunderstood Daiyu's meaning and said, "Miss, you don't need to worry. No one will gossip because of the weight of the gift."
Daiyu finally understood.
It turned out that if the gift was too heavy, it would make her closer to Baoyu.
Daiyu frowned again.
She only hoped that Baoyu would not misunderstand!
"Sister Zi Juan." Someone called out from outside the room.
Zi Juan acknowledged and excused herself from Daiyu. Then, she went outside the room to talk.
Xue Yan waited by the table and stammered, "Miss, aren't you going to reply to a message from that side?"
"That side?" Daiyu paused, "You mean … the person who sent the gift, from that side?"
Xue Yan nodded.
This was what her brother had told her before. He had told her to remember to remind Miss to keep in touch with that side.
Although it was against the rules, when Xue Yan saw the things that were sent over, half of her heart was relieved.
It was so well-ironed that no one could find anything wrong with it. Moreover, it was done openly and right under Second Master's nose … This kind of action would not put Miss in danger.
Daiyu pursed her lips. She seemed to be a little moved.
"Xue Yan, grind the ink for me."
"Yes!"
"Miss, the Old Ancestor has 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 and stuffed it into a prepared envelope. Then, she handed it to Xue Yan.
Xue Yan immediately put it into her clothes.
Coincidentally, Zi Juan had already stepped through the door at this time.
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."
"This is from Second Master's courtyard." Zi Juan pointed at the servant girl.
The servant girl smiled and said, "They're here to ask Miss Lin for a prescription."
"Second Master said that one of Miss Lin's uncles said that the prescription that Miss Lin usually uses has to be changed every month. Otherwise, it will lose its effectiveness.
In the past, it was always changed in Gusu. Now that it's in the capital, we have to ask a new doctor to change the medicine. We have to ask Miss Lin to take out her previous prescription so that the doctor can take a look. "
Daiyu was very intelligent. She immediately understood the intention behind this.
Her prescription was given to her by her older brother. Why would she need to ask for her previous prescription?
This was probably just to make it easier for her to send out the letter.
If she put the prescription and the letter together, Second Uncle would be able to see it clearly. There wouldn't be a single mistake for others to pick.
Daiyu brushed her hair behind her ears and said softly, "Let me look for it."
"Xue Yan, go get that box and take a look. The prescription is still inside."
Xue Yan also understood. She hurriedly nodded and turned around to get the box.
… …
In the other room.
Jia Zheng arranged to meet He Shen at the Taoist temple again.
Jia Zheng sighed and said, "That doctor is really useless. He can't even treat Brother Zhizhai's illness."
"It's no problem. Taoist priest just said that he would get the prescription for me to try.
Perhaps it will succeed this time. "He Shen's fingers rubbed the teacup next to him as he smiled faintly.
He really looked like a proper gentleman!
Jia Zheng continued, "I've already sent someone to get my niece's prescription. I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow?"
"Okay." He Shen looked like he didn't care.
Jia Zheng didn't care much about his niece. In any case, Lady Wang would take care of everything.
Therefore, his mind wasn't focused on this matter. After a few words, the two of them changed the topic and talked about the Four Books and Five Classics.
He wasn't the least bit curious about whether He Shen's care for Daiyu was excessive.
The next day.
He Shen sat in the study room and wrote the last sentence with his brush.
The entire memorial was completed.
He put down the brush and couldn't help but look out the window.
A head wearing a hat popped up outside the window.
"Brother, are you looking at me?"
He Shen said impatiently, "What are you doing here?"
He Lin didn't answer. Instead, he craned his neck and asked, "Brother, you keep looking out the window. What are you waiting for?"
He Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "Who told you what I'm waiting for?"
He Lin smiled, the flesh on her cheeks puffing up. "I can tell.
Brother, you're not at ease even when you're writing a memorial. Your strokes are faster than usual. You even look out the window from time to time. If you're not waiting for something, then you're looking at me! "
He Shen knocked on his head and was about to scold him when he saw Liu Quan come in.
He Shen suddenly couldn't sit still, but he still controlled himself firmly in his seat.
"You're here?" He Shen asked.
Liu Quan laughed, "Yes, I'm here!"
"Give him some money and let him go."
"Yes."
Liu Quan walked quickly into the study room and put down something. Then he turned around and went out to give orders.
He Shen's eyes focused on that thing. His heart was strangely restless.
It was as if he had been looking forward to it for more than one day.
It was as if he had been looking forward to it for many years.
He Shen found it funny.
He just wanted to know about Daiyu's recent situation. Why did it seem like a young boy who had received a love letter?
He Shen shook his head and cleared his mind. Then he picked up the letter on the table. He tore off the prescription wrapped on the outside, opened the envelope, and finally took out the letter.
Unfolded it.
Paved it.
Read it carefully.
