Chapter 130 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 3
Zijuan gave Nan Xi a thumbs up. The girl had been restless day and night these days, but she fell asleep so quickly tonight. It was Nan Xi's story that comforted her.
Only when your mind is calm can you fall asleep peacefully.
The two of them quietly left the room and settled down.
The next day, Daiyu looked better. She brought Nan Xi with her and went to pay her respects to her father.
Daiyu served Lin Ruhai at his bedside every day, and the two cherished their last moments together very much. Lin Ruhai used the few remaining days to teach Daiyu, hoping that his daughter would suffer less grievances in the future.
Fortunately, Daiyu was very smart and understood things immediately. She would ask if she didn't understand something. The two of them wished they could say everything they wanted to say in their lifetime at once.
Nan Xi followed silently, and when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Nan Xi arrived at the Lin family warehouse.
This place is filled with gold, silver and jewelry. All the Lin family’s assets are here.
Nan Xi selected some valuable items and put them into the space, including gold and silver jewelry, medicinal materials and silk, jade and porcelain, four treasures of the study, utensils and utensils, exquisite furniture, and a carved wooden screen...
There is everything here. These will be Daiyu’s dowry in the future and must be well preserved.
She only picked out a part, but the most expensive part.
Lin Ruhai had planned everything out. Not only did he reassign people for Daiyu, he also made a list for her.
"These are the families that my father has befriended. If there is a chance in the future, we can get to know them again."
Daiyu took it and handed it to Nanxi. Since returning to the Lin Mansion, Zijuan let Nanxi handle everything and she stayed in the room herself.
Daiyu also understood what she meant. After all, this was the Lin Mansion, and she could feel more at ease relying on Xueyan's father.
She respected Zijuan and Xueyan very much. They both helped her solve her problems and were the most caring people.
On the third day of September, when Daiyu went to pay her respects to Lin Ruhai, she was stopped by a maid.
"Miss, the master is talking to Master Lian and the people from the side branches of the clan."
Daiyu couldn't help but shed tears. She knew her father didn't have much time left, but these people were eager to divide the family property.
Daiyu was anxious and angry, her face turned red and she kept shaking.
Nan Xi quickly cast a heart-clearing spell on her.
Daiyu calmed down, but tears kept falling. Nan Xi felt a lump in her throat when she saw this, and she even felt a sense of sympathy for her.
After a while, the Lin family members and Jia Lian left together, and a maid came to invite Daiyu in.
Lin Ruhai was in good spirits. He looked at his daughter with reluctance in his eyes. He knew in his heart that it was time for him to go.
Daiyu sat in front of the couch, her face full of worry, and Lin Ruhai reached out to touch Daiyu's hair.
"Don't cry, Yu'er. I'm going to see your mother and brother. You have to take good care of yourself. You are the only one I'm worried about."
After Lin Ruhai said this, he coughed several times and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Daiyu burst into tears immediately.
"Daddy."
Lin Ruhai stared at his daughter with deep reluctance in his eyes. Finally, his hand slid from Daiyu's head, he closed his eyes, and died suddenly.
Lin Ruhai died, and Daiyu almost fainted from crying. Nan Xi had been using her spiritual energy to help her relieve her depression, otherwise, Daiyu would have fainted long ago.
"Miss, please take care of yourself. The master doesn't want you to get hurt like this."
Butler Lin Xing led the servants to set up the mourning hall. When he came to report on the matters, he comforted Daiyu with concern.
Lin Xing is an old man in the Lin family. He used to be Lin Ruhai's servant and also watched Daiyu grow up.
Daiyu was finally able to cheer up now that she was distracted by all sorts of things. With Nanxi by her side taking care of her, Daiyu was in relatively good health.
This busy schedule lasted until the end of the year. Fortunately, the servants had already handled the funeral, so now everything was in order and proceeding as planned.
Jia Lian also helped a lot, and by the time everything was done, the New Year was over.
Except for a few servants in the Lin residence who followed Daiyu, all the others were granted mercy, freed from their slavery, and packed their luggage to go their separate ways.
Jia Lian also gathered the Lin family's property and prepared to return to Beijing with the letter given to him by Lin Ruhai and Daiyu.
When she returned to Beijing this time, Daiyu brought back more than a dozen boxes of things. Jia Lian knew that most of them were books and paintings, and he didn't care too much about them, so he let her keep them.
A large group of people also returned by boat.
When Daiyu returned to Lady Jia's courtyard, many people were already waiting there. Daiyu greeted Lady Jia, and the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly again.
After Fengjie's jokes, the two stopped crying.
Only then did Daiyu congratulate Lady Jia on Yuanchun's promotion to imperial concubine. They had already received the news while they were on the way.
Jia Yuanchun in the palace was promoted to the Minister of Fengzao Palace and was given the title of Xian De Fei.
Everyone in the Ning and Rong mansions was delighted, and the atmosphere was as prosperous as a raging fire and blooming flowers.
Daiyu frowned slightly. The Jia family was becoming more and more frivolous, which was not a good thing.
All the masters in the Jia family looked delighted. They did not care that Daiyu was still in mourning and planned to hold a banquet to celebrate.
Daiyu was depressed and sad. Nan Xi gently held her hand. Daiyu glanced at Nan Xi and regained her composure.
"Madam, these are the two personal servants that Daddy gave me."
The two maids following behind stood up.
"One of them is called Zi Fu, and the other is called Xue Jian."
Grandmother Jia looked at the two maids and praised them again.
She loved these pretty girls the most and gave each of them a purse as a reward.
"You serve Miss Lin well, and you will get benefits in the future."
"Yes!"
After they thanked her and left, Daiyu continued.
"Their entire family followed me here. Their father and brother are now managing my farm, and there are four brothers who run errands for me. They are outside the gate and have not come in."
Grandmother Jia was in a good mood at the moment and gave instructions to Sister Feng.
"Girl Feng, please arrange some decent work for your sister to do."
Fengjie agreed, and she thought for a moment, "The maids will follow Zijuan's example, and the mansion will pay them monthly wages. The boys will leave two at the second gate, and two at the outer gate to serve, is that okay?"
Grandmother Jia nodded, "That's good."
Seeing that her granddaughter looked well, she gave Zijuan and Nanxi a purse and a bracelet respectively.
"You two have served well, so you can take these and play with them."
Zijuan and Nanxi also thanked him and left. Nanxi stayed to serve Daiyu, while Zijuan took her people back to pack up.
Grandmother Jia invited Daiyu to have dinner with her, and after the meal Daiyu took her people back to her room in the courtyard.
Only after Zijuan came and replaced Nanxi did Nanxi have time to eat and rest.
Since coming to this world, Nan Xi has no private space and has been staying with Daiyu and Zijuan. Now that Nan Xi is the only one left in the room, she finally relaxes and lies on the bed with her legs spread out, thinking about her problems.
To change Daiyu's fate, we must start with Baoyu.
Actually, Baoyu is the most suitable man for Daiyu. It's a pity that Mrs. Wang is determined to hinder them and Baoyu is irresponsible, so they are not a good match in the end.
Now Daiyu is still young and her relationship with Baoyu is not deep, so they can still be separated.
But she has never met a man outside this secluded courtyard. Where can she find a good man?
Nan Xi fell asleep as she was thinking.
