Chapter 10

Gifts were naturally very particular. Handkerchiefs, accessories, rouge, and face powder would make their relationship seem ambiguous.

However, if they were to send some precious herbs and some materials that could be used as a reward, it would be very thoughtful.

When the box was opened, Daiyu saw these things.

Daiyu was startled. She did not think that anyone would send things to Rongguo Province.

"Is it from Father?" Daiyu looked up at Ying Ge.

Ying Ge shook his head, "Second Master brought it from the courtyard."

"Uncle?" Daiyu was startled again.

She was not close to her two uncles. She had only seen them a few times and had not spoken much to them.

When her first uncle saw her, he was impatient. When her second uncle saw her, he was serious and rigid. Gradually, Daiyu was a little afraid of them.

Why did Second Uncle send something over all of a sudden?

Could it be that Aunt made the decision?

Ying Ge was also startled, "It shouldn't be. It's just that Second Master didn't say it clearly."

Xue Yan opened her mouth and wanted to say something. However, she immediately remembered what she had told her the other day. She cautiously looked at the people around her and finally closed her mouth.

After all, she was not in a hurry to say it.

"Then leave it there for now," Daiyu said.

She was not interested in these things. After all, the Gusu Lin Family was not a small family and she had seen the world.

It was just that she was grateful for this friendship and wanted to take a closer look later.

Ying Ge nodded and asked the servant girls to put the box down. Then, he led the people out.

After they left, Xue Yan walked up to Daiyu.

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

Xue Yan had been a lot more taciturn recently, and Dai Yu had rarely seen her take the initiative to speak. At this time, Xue Yan couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Nodding her head, she reached out to take the thing in the box.

"I wonder who it is …"

Only then did Xue Yan have a chance to speak. In a low voice he said, "Presumably it's my older brother's master?"

"That uncle?" Daiyu asked.

As he spoke, Daiyu had already taken out a brocade box from inside.

That brocade box was even more exquisite than the one outside. It had a jade clasp, and just by looking at it, one could tell that it was very valuable.

Daiyu undid the clasp and opened the lid. What he saw were bits of 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 very unfamiliar with them.

Xue Yan smiled and said, "That's exactly what my older brother said. His master is a good person."

Daiyu nodded in agreement.

Especially after experiencing Rongguo Province's seemingly doting, but in reality, it lacked 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 unfolded the letter quickly, and lines of clear and handsome words came into view.

It was really, really too familiar!

Daiyu's eyes widened slightly.

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

She clutched the letter to her chest. Then she reacted and whispered to Xue Yan, "Bring the candles."

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

Daiyu glanced at the letter again. She had lit it with fire just now. 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 bit 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 others saw it, it would be hard to explain.

"Young Lady." 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 Lady 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's cousin?"

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

Daiyu didn't know why, but she was in a good mood at this time. She said, "Cousin is sick. I should go and see him some other day."

Ying Ge nodded, but she felt that Miss Lin's words sounded distant.

She should go and see him.

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

In the end, Ying Ge didn't say anything. She thought of 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 and see 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 appropriate for her to go forward.

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

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

Daiyu then called out in a low voice, "Third younger sister."

This girl was Tanchun.

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

Daiyu had heard some rumors that she wasn't as friendly 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.

In the end, Daiyu was still quite young, so when the topic of the precious hairpin was brought up, she felt somewhat awkward in her heart. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the handwarmer 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 good.

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

"Why?"

"He looks scary. He's obviously smiling, but in front of him, he behaves himself." Baoyu said. Perhaps she felt a bit embarrassed, so she didn't continue.

However, the admiration in his eyes had yet to disappear.

Jia Baoyu didn't like to read. 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 son in the family. Usually, there wasn't anyone he liked.

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

…

Daiyu stopped and listened for a while. He could faintly hear that the person Jia Baoyu was talking about seemed to be that elder brother.

But was that elder brother the top scholar in the imperial exam that Xue Yan mentioned?

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

"Is Miss Lin here?" Suddenly, he 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. She didn't wear any extra hairpins. The dress was neither new nor old. There wasn't the slightest bit of luxury.

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

"I've finally seen Miss Lin." She said with a smile.

"Bao Jiejie."

Daiyu called out first. Then he said, "My body is usually weak, so I don't go out much. I'm afraid of catching 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, "Bao Jiejie, what kind of medicine do you 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, he didn't feel any surprise or curiosity.

Her medicine was given to her by that elder brother. 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 used in this prescription are all limited. I need twelve taels of white peonies that bloom in spring, twelve taels of white lotus that bloom in summer, twelve taels of white hibiscus that bloom in autumn, and twelve taels of white plum blossoms that bloom in winter …"

The bystanders 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?" Baochai asked.

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

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

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

Daiyu was just thinking about He Shen, so 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 instructed Xue Yan, "Go and 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, so I don't know what to give him." Daiyu had Xue Yan bring the box up.

He opened it and took a look.

The bystanders 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 her lips and didn't say anything.

Was it rare?

This was one of the things that her older brother had given her.
