Chapter 334: Burying the Rat

"Miss Lin..."

Just when Daiyu was thinking about everything and enduring the tenderness and thoughtfulness that Jia Lian brought to her, A woman's voice came from the main door.

Daiyu quickly took two steps back, not daring to let others see the closeness between her and Jia Lian.

Jia Lian also folded the handkerchief in his hand. Seeing that Daiyu had walked away, he casually put it into his sleeve.

Then, Jia Lian's eyes casually glanced at Zhou Rui's family who walked in from the door.

"What are you doing here?"

Jia Lian saw what Zhou Rui's family was carrying at a glance, and immediately guessed the purpose of Zhou Rui's family, so his tone was a little unkind.

The Zhou Rui family did not expect Jia Lian to be in the house. After hurriedly saying hello, Fang smiled and said: "I am ordered by my wife to bring something to Miss Lin.

This is The wife made a special trip to ask someone to buy a stone mouse from the Western Market.

The wife said that Baoyu was ignorant and offended the girl, and asked the girl to be more considerate.

This It’s a stone mouse that the wife bought for the girl in exchange for the precious jade. Look, girl, how beautiful this one is. Does the girl like it?”

Zhou Rui’s family thought that what they said was perfect, but unexpectedly After Daiyu heard this, the tears that had just disappeared suddenly filled the air again.

She didn’t look at the squirrel in the cage, but just looked at Jia Lian.

Daiyu is so sensitive. After almost listening to Zhou Ruijia's words, she immediately realized the deeper meaning.

She felt aggrieved because she had a conflict with Jia Baoyu just in the morning, and Mrs. Wang gave her a squirrel at noon.

As an elder, Mrs. Wang seems to be saying: My son broke your things, so I bought them to compensate you. That’s all.

Although the Zhou Rui family did not say so, in the eyes of others, there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Wang's approach.

Others would even praise Mrs. Wang for her careful and fair behavior and the kindness of her elders.

Actually, there is another public case here.

The year Baochai entered the capital, the Zhou Rui family sent palace flowers to the girls and grandmothers in Rongguo Mansion for Aunt Xue.

Because when they were finally sent to Daiyu’s house, only the last two with ugly colors were left. Daiyu felt that she had been slighted, so she refused directly, and even robbed Zhou Rui's family of a sentence. This made the Zhou Rui family's sense of Daiyu not very good from then on.

The Zhou Rui family knew Mrs. Wang’s thoughts well..

Seeing that Daiyu did not please Mrs. Wang, she was naturally a little gloating in her heart. The form of language inevitably brought out some emotions, which Daiyu was keenly aware of.

In fact, if Jia Lian hadn't been sitting here, which made Zhou Rui's family a little worried, she wouldn't have been so reserved in what she just said.

Looking into Daiyu’s eyes, Jia Lian naturally knew what she was thinking.

Jia Lian sighed inwardly. In fact, Mrs. Wang's approach seemed to have no problem on the surface.

However, the smart Daiyu was well aware of Mrs. Wang's personality and her favoritism towards Jia Baoyu, so she was able to "misinterpret" her meaning immediately.

In other words, if it were him or even Jia Mu who did the same thing today. In other words, if he or Jia Mu sends a squirrel to Daiyu again, Daiyu will never think about it.

This is actually a question of trust and intimacy.

Daiyu guessed that Mrs. Wang didn’t like her very much, so she thought too much about it. Knowing that Jia Lian and Jia Mu loved her very much, she took it for granted.

I don’t blame Daiyu for her random thoughts. This is Daiyu’s innate sensitivity and careful thinking.

Therefore, Jia Lian looked at Zhou Rui's family coldly, "Put down your things and go out."

"Um, yes..."

Zhou Rui's family knew how they had offended Jia Lian. They said hello with a forehead in their cheeks, but did not dare to say anything and withdrew in a dignified manner.

Zicuckoo lifted up the cage and was about to find a place to hang it, when Jia Lian said to Daiyu: "If my sister doesn't like this squirrel, why not give it to me.

It looks pretty good to me, so I took it back to my little niece to play with."

When Daiyu heard this, she felt moved again.

Brother Lian really understands her very well. Because she saw Mrs. Wang's partiality, she naturally had no feelings for the squirrel sent by Mrs. Wang, which was more of a demonstration than an apology.

But she had to accept the things specially given by her elders, otherwise others would say she was arrogant and rude.

If it were someone else, facing such an unkind apology, there would be a way to deal with it. For example, kill him directly...

It is obviously impossible for Daiyu to have such an idea. Looking at that clever little thing, she was very irritated.

Now that Jia Lian asked her to leave, she immediately relieved her worries.

So he nodded quickly and said, "In that case, second brother Lian, let's take it."

Jia Lian nodded and ordered Zicuckoo to send the squirrel directly to him.Home.

After the trouble was solved, Daiyu found a stool opposite Jia Lian and sat down. She was about to ask Jia Lian where she was from and whether she was busy today, when she heard Jia Lian ask her again where she had been.

Daiyu’s mood, which had just improved a little, suddenly became depressed. Facing Jia Lian’s gaze, she said faintly: “I originally wanted to find a burial place for Anu, but after searching all over the area, there was none. Found..."

Daiyu is a person who can put emotions into things.

The little squirrel that she carefully raised and grew up from a cub is just like her companion.

Now that the other person has passed away, I am so sad that I want to let him rest in peace.

However, according to the rules of the Jia Mansion, once all the cats, dogs, and birds kept in every room die, the bodies must be handed over to the servants for disposal.

Naturally, Daiyu would not leave Anu to those irresponsible boys. If they found a random place and threw it away, and then got picked up by a wild dog, how could she feel at ease? .

So I wanted to find a suitable place and bury it myself.

But after going out for a walk, she didn’t find such a place.

She lives in Rongqing Hall. The front yard and the back yard here all belong to Jia Mu. The things belonging to the elders, including plants and trees, cannot be touched without permission. This is also the rule of the Jia family.

So Daiyu returned without success. She also felt very disappointed. In the past, whether it was in her hometown in Suzhou or in her father's official office in Yangzhou, she had her own territory that she could deal with at will.

But here, it doesn’t work.

Looking at Daiyu, she wanted to cry again, but Jia Lian smiled.

He put the squirrel's body back into the paper boat, handed it to Daiyu to hold, and then said: "Let's go, I will take you to a place. It is definitely suitable for burying this little squirrel." Guy."

"Where is it?"

"You will know if you follow me."

Daiyu heard the words and hurriedly used He wiped his tears with his sleeves and hurriedly followed Jia Lian's footsteps.

She knew that when she cried, Jia Lian would definitely find a way for her.

Although I feel like I am plotting against Lian’s second brother, it is really useful.

…

On the construction site behind the Ning and Rong mansions, there are still countless servants and craftsmen of the Jia mansion busy at work.

Near Rongguo Mansion, when someone raised his head to wipe his sweat, he saw a group of people walking in the distance.

The leader, Jia Lian, and the others naturally knew each other, but they were just curious as to why Jia Lian brought himA group of women came in.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that there were not only wives and maids, but also some pretty and well-dressed fairies-like girls.

It was the legendary ladies from the Jia family who were traveling. No wonder so many people were following them.

I just don’t know what they are doing here.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you lower your head to work!"

The housekeepers and deacons who came to their senses quickly scolded these peeping people to prevent them from bumping into the nobles. .

Jia Lian originally planned to bring Daiyu in, but the news was leaked on the way. Sanchun and Shi Xiangyun, along with their respective maids, chased after him.

When there were more people, Jia Lian simply called a few mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law he saw along the way to let them clear the way.

The craftsmen who were able to come to Jia's house to work all knew the rules, and no one deliberately violated them.

So Jia Lian quickly took Daiyu and others to a key construction site in the west.

Instead of entering the busy construction site, he walked along the stone path outside and stepped into a newly planted bamboo forest.

This is the site of the future Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

“Ah, there are so many spotted bamboos planted here. When the bamboo forest becomes a forest in the future, it will be very quiet and beautiful.

It’s so special that Anu is buried in this place. It couldn't be better."

Shi Xiangyun is the most active. If the discipline mothers didn't allow it, she would have sneaked in to play.

Now that she could follow Jia Lian in openly, she immediately widened her eyes and kept looking at the strange things.

It’s a pity that the Grand View Garden is still in its infancy, and it doesn’t have much of its beauty.

Lin Daiyu never thought that Jia Lian would take her to the construction site that had not yet been completed. She was a little worried: "Second brother Lian, construction is going on everywhere now. If Anu is buried here, will it happen? Will..."

If the front feet are buried and the back feet are turned out, it will be too disgraceful.

Jia Lian shook his head: "This bamboo forest has been completely planted, and it will basically not be touched again.

If you are worried, I will tell the stewards when you turn around. , Just don’t let irrelevant people in."

As he said that, Jia Lian asked Xue Yan to take the flower hoe and put it into Dai Yu’s hand.

“Go.”

Daiyu hummed, handed Anu to Tanchun, then moved in person and picked out theChoosing a Feng Shui treasure place...

Looking at the deep bamboo forest around me, I felt that this matter was more meaningful.
