Daiyu hadn't changed much since she was a child.

Her mind was sharper than others. In the letter, apart from greeting He Shen,

She also thanked him for sending the things.

The rest was to tell He Shen that he didn't have to spend so much money. She also said that she didn't know the value of the items,

She actually sent a box to her cousin.

Since it was a gift to her,

She had the final say on where it would go.

Why was she still so careful?

He Shen raised his hand and ground the ink. Then, he flattened the paper and pressed it with a paperweight.

He picked up the brush and wrote —

He lost track of time as he wrote.

When He Shen raised his head, it was already evening.

He Lin was still standing outside the window. His hands were holding the windowsill. He smiled at He Shen. "Brother!

It's time to eat. "

He Shen frowned.

At this hour, it was naturally not appropriate to send the letter to Rongguo Province.

He was afraid that he would have to wait until tomorrow..

He dried the ink on the paper and carefully folded it into the envelope.

Then, he put Daiyu's words in the book that he often read.

Then, he got up,

And went out of the door.

He Lin touched his stomach and asked, "Brother, what were you writing just now? I'm starving..."

"Since you're hungry,

Why didn't you send the food earlier? "

"He Lin is alone,

How can I send the food? "

"Then you can call me."

"Brother is so engrossed in writing,

How can He Lin disturb you? "

Engrossed?

He Shen was startled and felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, such emotions for him..,

Were too unfamiliar.

He Shen's expression returned to its usual coldness,

He touched He Lin's head.

A thin layer of hair appeared on top of his head,

It was a little uncomfortable.

He Lin giggled when he was touched. He immediately diverted his attention and no longer paid attention to why his brother was so strange today.

After the meal, He Lin returned to his courtyard to study.

He Shen, on the other hand, went back to his study to sort out the memorials and check for omissions.

The lamp on the table flickered as if it was about to go out.

The maidservant hurried in, took down the lampshade, and cut the wick.

He Shen glanced at him.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered something.

In Daiyu's letter, he said that he didn't know the value of the gift and gave a box to his cousin.

This cousin … Wasn't he Jia Baoyu?

How could that be?

He Shen's face darkened almost immediately.

The maidservant turned around, still holding the scissors in her hand. He Shen's appearance frightened her, and she knelt down without thinking.

"It's nothing. You may leave."

The maidservant heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated.

It was strange that He Shen's reputation in the capital was so resounding that he had attracted the admiration of many young ladies.

However, none of the maids in the mansion dared to have any thoughts about He Shen.

After the maidservant went out, she carefully closed the door.

He Shen unconsciously glanced at the window again. There was no one else.

Only the leaves and branches drooped down slightly, casting a shadow.

He Shen grinded the ink again and took out the letter that had been folded.

He spread out another piece of paper and wrote on it word by word.

He waited until he finished writing this time. The difference was that there was an extra paragraph of advice.

"Baoyu's reputation is terrible. He loves to play with his sisters at home. He is close to everyone and is used to sweet-talking …"

He Shen wrote expressionlessly. He didn't feel guilty at all for speaking ill of others behind their backs.

He and Dai Yu had known each other much earlier, so Dai Yu shouldn't have formed such a deep friendship with Baoyu so quickly that she would throw him to the back of her mind.

Daiyu should have listened to a sentence or two of what he said.

This time, He Shen wrote quickly and folded it into the envelope. Then, he wrapped it with a prescription and a doctor's advice.

He bent his index finger and knocked on the table.

"Liu Quan!"

Liu Quan had been waiting outside. When he heard the sound, he immediately pushed the door open and came in.

"Send this prescription to Rongguo Province. Tell them that Miss Lin needs to take medicine and can't be delayed.

Also, this box. "

Liu Quan lowered his head and responded. He picked up the letter and quickly walked out.

He Shen raised his head and looked outside.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was already night.

He Shen's mood was a little noisy. He couldn't calm down.

It couldn't be delayed.

The sooner he told Daiyu to have less contact with Baoyu, the better.

Naturally, he couldn't wait until tomorrow …

His actions were very normal and not reckless.

He Shen comforted himself in his heart. Only then did he feel better.

He still had to see Qianlong tomorrow, so he should go to bed early.

He Shen pursed his lips. Only then did a little smile appear on his face.

Even when he went to bed, the smile on his face hadn't disappeared.

It was indeed late.

Zi Juan lifted the curtain by the bed and let Daiyu sleep. Before he closed his eyes, Xue Yan came in quietly and whispered, "Second Master sent a servant girl over."

Zi Juan was surprised, "It's so late. What is she doing here?"

"Delivering something."

Daiyu woke up with a start, "Delivering something?"

She sat up on the bed. Her hair was scattered behind her head. She didn't have any makeup on her face. She looked delicate and beautiful.

"I'll do it," Zi Juan said and walked out, "Xue Yan, you wait here."

Xue Yan nodded.

Zi Juan walked out of the screen and stepped out of the door.

The servant girl probably knew that it wasn't good to disturb them at this time. She didn't enter the door. She only whispered a few words to Zi Juan.

Then, only the sound of distant footsteps could be heard. Presumably, she was going back to report.

Zi Juan came in with a box.

There were a few sheets of paper neatly stacked on top of the box. The ink was faintly visible, and the names of some medicinal herbs could be vaguely seen.

Zi Juan was about to put the box on the table.

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat, "Give it to me."

Zi Juan didn't suspect anything. He carried the box to the bedside and put it down.

Daiyu was too embarrassed to open the stack of prescriptions. She didn't know if there was a letter inside.

She opened the box first.

Under the warm yellow light.

As soon as the box was opened, it was immediately dazzling.

It was a full set of head ornaments.

It was different from the ones on the market today.

This set of ornaments seemed to be made of some kind of sparkling and translucent material. It was really too beautiful.

It didn't look like something from the mortal world. It looked like something that had been taken out of the osmanthus palace.

Daiyu took a look at it and liked it very much.

No matter how calm Purple Cuckoo was, when she looked over, she was stunned.

Xue Yan didn't even need to mention it.

"It's so … extravagant." Zi Juan muttered, "Could it be that Second Madam made the decision to send this?"

But when he thought about it, it didn't seem right.

Although Second Madam took good care of Miss, it didn't go so far as to send something so rare to Miss that other Miss hadn't even seen it before.

Second Master?

That was even more wrong.

Second Master was a man. Why would he care about buying head ornaments for his niece?

Xue Yan whispered, "It was sent by a good friend of Master's in the past."

Zi Juan was slightly speechless. He thought that the other party was probably in his forties or fifties. If he sent these things, it was probably the Madam who made the decision to send it.

Thus, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Daiyu couldn't wait to open the prescription. The envelope at the bottom was revealed.

Zi Juan was already stunned, "This, this is …"

Daiyu flattened the letter.

As he read, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Xue Yan asked.

Daiyu pursed her lips. Her expression was a bit complicated, "He said that the things he sent weren't expensive and that I shouldn't take it to heart.

Since they were sent to me, I should do whatever I want with them.

It doesn't matter if it's a gift to the Old Ancestor, aunts, sisters, or servants … I shouldn't feel bad about it at all.

There are so many of these things that I can't use them all even if I want to in my lifetime … "

As for the latter part, he said not to have any contact with Baoyu.

Daiyu didn't mention it again.

After all, Zi Juan used to serve the Old Ancestor. How could he speak ill of Baoyu in front of her?

Xue Yan laughed out loud, "Then Miss can be at ease."

Elder Brother's master treated Miss so well!

Zi Juan was much older, so he was more cautious now.

He was so kind. He helped to find a doctor, sent things, and even wrote a letter …

Zi Juan asked with difficulty, "That Old Master, could it be that he likes our Miss?"

Daiyu's hand that was holding the letter froze, "How could that be?

He … "

He was her elder brother.

How could he like her?

Daiyu was lost in thought for a moment. Her cheeks unconsciously turned red.

Xue Yan was even more shocked and widened his eyes.

Zi Juan, however, felt that this was a big deal.

If the other party had bad intentions and deliberately coaxed Miss Daiyu to make her fall in love with him …

How could that be?

Since he was on good terms with Old Master Lin, he was definitely not young anymore. Furthermore, he had already married a wife. Who knew how many concubines he had?

Zi Juan bit his lip and said boldly, "Miss, do you like him too?

Miss, listen to me. You must break off all contact with this person in the future.

He's not young, and he's Miss's elder. How could he be so thick-skinned as to get close to Miss Daiyu? "

Daiyu's face was already red. She said softly, "He, he's not that old."

Zi Juan thought, We're done for, we're done for …

Zi Juan's face was already pale, and his heart sank. But at this time, he heard Daiyu say, "He, although he's on good terms with Father.

But in the past, when we were in Gusu, I called him 'Elder Brother.' "

Xue Yan also hurriedly said, "That's right. That's not Old Master, but a young master.

He's not even twenty years old yet, and he's not even married yet. "

Zi Juan's heart jumped up and down. He was so shocked that his heart dropped to the ground.

Zi Juan: "Not even twenty years old yet?

Not even married yet?

He's a young master? "

Xue Yan: "That's right."

Zi Juan's mood had just experienced such great sorrow and joy. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You should've said so earlier. You scared me to death. I thought there was some shameless old thing who dared to coax our Miss …"

Daiyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. In his mind, he couldn't help but picture that older brother's appearance.

At this time, Daiyu and Xue Yan looked at Zi Juan again, and they felt a lot closer.

Zi Juan's earlier worry wasn't fake.

Xue Yan couldn't help but add, "Sister Zi Juan must've heard of this young master before.

Recently, in the capital, even in the estate, there's been a lot of talk about that young scholar who's been recognized by the present emperor. He's not even married yet, but he's been favored by many people … That's him. "

Zi Juan's face suddenly lit up with joy.

She was a bold person. At this time, she tugged at the hanging tassels on the side of the bed and whispered, "Now that you mention it, he's really a good husband.

Miss, just pretend that I didn't say those words just now. "

Zi Juan: "In the future, don't ever break off contact. Just be affectionate …"

Daiyu's eyes widened slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about …"

But her cheeks were already completely red.

The candlelight fell on her face, making her look even more affectionate and moving.

Lady Wang knew that it was Jia Zheng's doing that caused Baoyu's body to become weak.

But in the end, she didn't dare to blame Jia Zheng. She didn't even dare to cry or cry. Instead, she ate vegetarian and prayed more often.

She didn't say a word, but people could feel her grievances and depression.

As expected, Jia Zheng was embarrassed. After that, he didn't strictly control Baoyu anymore.
