Chapter 128 You Haven't Seen Her
Until both of them finished copying the scriptures, Miaoyu did not tell Daiyu how she knew about Prince Beijing and Jia Yucun.
As for the fact that she had stared at the name of Prince Zhongshun for a long time, Daiyu naturally noticed it, but she didn't even ask.
On the morning of April 12, Tanchun sent a message: "The house has been repaired. Sister's yard and Miaogu's Buddhist hall have been tidied up. If sister is willing to come back, I will send someone to pick her up."
Daiyu nodded.
Before noon that day, Daiyu and Miaoyu returned to the Lin Mansion.
Sure enough, Jia Min's aesthetic taste was already elegant and refined back then, and coupled with Tanchun's open and generous style, and the rare flowers and trees that Jia Yun had painstakingly found, the garden became even more beautiful than before.
Daiyu couldn't wait to go back to the mansion to have a look around. She praised it highly and asked Xiaohong, who was in charge of the money, "How much did it cost?"
Xiao Hong blushed for some reason and replied calmly, "Not bad. I only spent half of the thirty thousand yuan the girl took out before leaving."
"Hua Mu originally didn't plan to use such a good one. Second Master Yun looked at the one originally ordered and said it was not worthy of the girl, so he urged people to find a better one. But the money didn't increase.
"However, Master Yun said that we have already agreed with them that we will plant trees in our front yard, and we can let them do the business when the time comes."
Daiyu smiled sweetly: "He is really good at playing the long game to catch the big fish. Since he is asking you, you should go and tell him:
"As expected, he has found people of this character. I will make a decision and use the flowers and trees from this family in the house of Supervisor Tao."
Xiao Hong agreed and changed the subject: "The craftsmen's wages are high. I asked my father, and he said that firstly, we need it urgently, and secondly, the third girl has high standards and wants it to be meticulous. So she charges half the wages of ordinary craftsmen."
"As long as the things are good, the money should be spent." Daiyu waved her hand nonchalantly, "I'm going to go and see my house, and we'll talk about the bill later."
Xiaohong smiled and helped her to her residence.
Tanchun was thoughtful and cleaned up the main courtyard of the original mansion for Daiyu to use as her daily living and sleeping place. As Daiyu had previously chosen the place where she lived because it was next to the garden, she directly made it into an inner study.
The two dark rooms, one bright, were directly connected. Bookshelves covered the entire wall, with a large desk in the middle. A Luohan bed was placed under the moon-shaped window in the east room, and a small round table was placed on the west side for drinking tea and eating.
Daiyu was very satisfied with the decoration. She pointed at this place and turned to Xiaohong and said, "Go and tell your uncle that if he comes again, he should be sent here. Humph, I don't care if he lives here in the future, just don't make my room dirty."
Xiao Hong was horrified: "Girl! How dare you criticize the emperor..."
dirty!?
Daiyu frowned: "Which man is not dirty?"
Xiaohong closed her mouth tightly.
I remember that Master Bao was not dirty back then. But after you sent Master Gu away, all men in the world became dirty.
Well, that’s not right, Supervisor Tao is not dirty.
But isn't Tao Jian considered a man?
As Xiaohong was thinking about all sorts of things, she heard Lin Daiyu mutter, "I still have to go back to the south. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold my pride, which is really embarrassing."
Since this place was only used as a study, Daiyu went to the main courtyard, looked at her familiar bed and bedding, happily took a refreshing bath, and then had lunch and a nap.
It was not until the afternoon that he lazily ordered Jiang Yong to go to the palace gate to hand over a sign to inform Taiji Palace that he had finished copying the scriptures.
Miaoyu also returned to the Buddhist temple happily, but found that it was still small and hardly moved. She couldn't help but pouting.
The maidservant advised: "Master, have you ever heard that it only takes two months to build a house for people to live in? Besides, this temple is not a place for people to live.
"Master really feels that he and Miss Lin are more compatible. Why don't you pick a courtyard and I'll tidy it up to your liking, and we can live there permanently?"
When it comes to staying for a long time, Miaoyu becomes stubborn again: "Who can get along with her? She came to me on her own initiative. I just think she is not ordinary, so I give her some face!
"After I finish my important work tomorrow, I will go back to my hometown. I don't want to stay in a noisy and noisy place like the capital!"
The girl was already used to her stubbornness and said nothing more.
The next day, the Taiji Palace sent a message, ordering Lin Daiyu to receive the imperial decree and immediately bring the scriptures into the palace.
Daiyu put the copied scriptures into a brocade box and proudly entered the palace.
This time Dai Quan did not follow her. Only a young eunuch greeted her at the palace gate and had a carriage ready for her.
Daiyu was confused.
The young eunuch saw the timidity in her eyes and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother is impatient to wait for people. It's a long way here, and Miss Lin is delicate. If you wait for you to walk over, you might run into the Queen Mother having lunch, which is very inconvenient."
Lin Daiyu nodded happily and thanked him softly, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts."
The young eunuch smiled and sat on the shaft of the carriage, then staggered to the Yanjia Palace.
Daiyu entered the hall holding a huge brocade box with her head lowered, and knelt in the corner of the hall again, greeting respectfully without looking up.
Dai Quan's voice was not surprising: "Lin, please stand up and come forward."
Lin Daiyu stood up as she was told and then looked up.
As she expected, the Grand Master and the Queen Mother were playing chess again. But a woman in palace dress was sitting next to them. The woman happened to have her back to her, so she couldn't see her face.
Daiyu's heart was slightly moved: So, when the Lord and the Queen Mother called me over, they also called this woman over? Or did this person just happen to run into me?
Daiyu secretly told herself to keep calm, still with her head half lowered, and slowly walked to the Ersheng chess table. She bowed and smiled at Dai Quan.
Then he glanced again and finally saw the woman's face clearly.
She was dignified and beautiful, with eyes and eyebrows somewhat like those of Lady Jia, and also three points like her deceased mother.
It turned out to be Yuanchun.
We met once in the previous life, but we have no chance to meet again in this life.
Daiyu's eyes moved slightly and she looked at Dai Quan again.
Dai Quan smiled and pointed to the cushion next to Yuanchun, asking her to sit over there.
Daiyu hesitated for a moment and looked at Dai Quan with a questioning look.
Is it appropriate for me to sit side by side with her?
Dai Quan smiled and pointed at the mat lightly with his whisk.
Daiyu had no choice but to move lightly over, put the brocade box gently down, and then kneel down.
The situation on the chessboard was completely different from the last time. Although the Queen Mother played black first, it was obvious that the Supreme Master was trying hard to give the Queen Mother the advantage last time; this time, it was clear that the Supreme Master was impatient, and the black pieces were killed in pieces.
Daiyu understood it at a glance. She couldn't help but become curious:
How could playing chess in front of Yuanchun, his son's concubine, make the emperor so upset? Did something happen today?
She was distracted when the Queen Mother saw the brocade box beside her and took the opportunity to mess up the chessboard: "No more, no more!"
He did not collect the chess pieces, but just looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile: "Such a big box can hold three copies of the Diamond Sutra. What? Are you showing off your speed in copying?"
Daiyu was embarrassed and hurriedly bowed to the emperor before opening the box to explain.
The Emperor pointed at Yuanchun and introduced her first: "You haven't seen her before? The last time she came back to visit her family, you were staying at home to observe mourning."
Daiyu became more and more puzzled: Could it be that the Lord was here specifically for Concubine Jia?
What is the relationship between Taishang and the Jia family?
