Chapter 5 The Fifth Day of Being Transformed into Lady Jia (Catching Bugs)
Chapter 5 The fifth day of being transformed into Jia's mother (bug hunting)
Lin Daiyu had stopped crying at this time. When she saw the old lady looking at her, she shrank unconsciously.
Realizing that she might have scared Daiyu, the old lady just pretended not to see it, and reached out to hug Daiyu, "Good girl, this matter has nothing to do with you. Come, grandma will show you something good."
As she said that, the old lady took out the cloisonné enamel box.
When the box was opened, the "water essence" that looked like a black pill to outsiders was a blue ball in Daiyu's eyes, which was particularly beautiful under the dim candlelight.
She couldn't help but stretch out her hand, and the ball of "water essence" fell into her palm, and then slowly penetrated and disappeared.
Daiyu only felt a cool stream of water circulating in the tendons and veins of her limbs, and it gradually became warm in a moment, eliminating the coldness that had been like her tarsal bones in the past. In a moment, the water vapor seemed to move into her brows, making her mind clearer than usual.
Therefore, she immediately realized that this was a magical good thing.
When she opened her eyes, she saw her grandmother looking at her eagerly, but Daiyu was terrified, "Grandma, I, I didn't mean it. It..." She looked at the empty box, wanting to say that it entered her body by itself, but she felt that this was shirking responsibility, and she couldn't help crying anxiously.
"Why, but you feel uncomfortable there?" The old lady was still waiting for her to give feedback, but unexpectedly the little girl cried, "That's not right, isn't it said that after using this thing, all diseases will not occur for a month?"
Daiyu realized that this was a treasure that could even cure her weakness. Although it was only for a month, it was already what she wanted. She raised her eyes timidly and asked carefully: "Grandma, is this prepared for me? But, such a precious thing..."
The old lady suddenly realized from her doubts, guessed what she was struggling with, and patted the little girl on the shoulder, "It's for you. This is what your grandfather got from a Taoist priest in his early years. It's called the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Although it is very precious, it is still enough for you."
It's not enough. The group of people on the Internet who are clamoring to support Daiyu have piled up points that make the old lady jealous.
Of course, although the old lady said it in a plain way, Daiyu didn't take it seriously.
Things like that are extraordinary just by looking at the appearance. How can it be easy to find? Grandma must be comforting her. At this time, Daiyu thought of her thoughtfulness today, and couldn't help but shed tears on her clothes.
The old lady looked at her in bewilderment, "Why are you crying again when you are fine? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to take another pill?"
Lin Daiyu quickly shook her head, "Grandma, no. It's just that Daiyu has been sad since her mother passed away, and now she is loved by the old ancestor, so she couldn't help crying."
Then, she stood up and walked to the seat of Grandmother Jia, knelt down and kowtowed.
The old lady didn't stop her for a while, and after she kowtowed, she helped her up and pulled her in front of her, "Hey, little girl, I am your grandmother, why are you being so polite to me?"
Seeing that the little girl's complexion was rosy, the old lady knew that the "water essence" had taken effect, and she was relieved.
Thinking of another thing, she said, "You, just take care of your health, don't think too much, and don't cry easily. You know..."
The old lady with a bad memory looked up and glanced, and continued, "The seven emotions are the most harmful to the body. I just hope you can live a happy life without worries. I think your mother thinks so too."
These words were what netizens asked her to tell Lin Daiyu.
Therefore, she knew that she would miss the classic scene of "I have seen this sister before", which was also the first meeting between the reincarnation of the Jiangzhu Fairy Grass in the Taixu Illusionary Realm and the reincarnation of the Shenying Attendant, and it also laid the groundwork for the return of tears in the future.
Hearing the cause and effect, the old lady couldn't help but feel distressed.
What a sensible and smart little girl, just because the Shenying Attendant watered her, she had to cry dry tears in this life to repay her gratitude. This is too tragic!
Because of this sympathy, the old lady relayed it with extra sincerity, which made Lin Daiyu want to cry again, but thinking of her grandmother's previous words, she quickly held back her tears, "Grandma, I'll remember it."
"Be good." The old lady touched her head lovingly.
After solving one problem, the old lady was not so nervous. Without looking at it carefully, she also read the netizen's subsequent training, "You will live with me for now, and then study and play with Yingchun and others. In the future, grandma will go to the palace to ask the queen mother. I think with the face of the Jia family and your father, one or two foster nurses can still be invited, so that it will not be considered a disappointment to your father's expectations of you."
After saying this, she realized that this was going to enter the palace
. The old lady was shocked and felt that she was tricked by the netizen.
However, when she saw Lin Daiyu blinking her eyes as pure and dependent as Bambi, she could only swallow the curses in her heart.
The next day, the old lady was not in a good mood.
Last night, the unlucky group of netizens played the etiquette of entering the palace for her all night, causing her to dream about entering the palace and kowtowing in the second half of the night.
Pfft, beast!
The old lady leaned on the couch listlessly and told Yuanyang to prepare the meal.
Because Daiyu had just arrived, the old lady gathered a few children together for dinner this morning.
But before they had taken a few bites, Mrs. Wang rushed in in a hurry.
The old lady had heard a lot of bad things about Mrs. Wang in the past few days. This wife of Jia's second son Jia Zheng sat in the main seat of Rongxi Hall and held the power of the Jia family. Because she gave birth to Yuanchun as a concubine and Baoyu was born with jade, she had great power in the Jia family.
She looked kind, but she was extremely cruel. During this period, she forced Jinchuan to death and drove Qingwen away; she also beat Baoyu and Daiyu with a stick, causing Daiyu to die of depression, Baoyu to become a monk, and Baochai to live as a widow.
It was a tragedy.
Therefore, when the old lady saw her at this time, she was a little indifferent, "You came quite early today, but I didn't prepare breakfast for you."
The system of paying respects was restored along with Jia's mother's recovery.
Seeing that she couldn't stop them, the old lady asked them to have breakfast before coming.
Since the new system was established, Mrs. Wang has never been seen to come early. Obviously, she is not just here to pay respects. And the old lady's words also clearly expressed that she was in a bad mood at this time.
Mrs. Wang could only smile, "You are joking, old ancestor, I didn't think about the time and came early." When she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Jia Baoyu.
The old lady "hummed", "You are well-informed."
She glanced at Jia Baoyu who was moving around, "Eat."
This time, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say anything, just sat aside.
A maid brought tea and snacks, and she ate a little.
After Jia's mother and the three sisters finished breakfast, she didn't care about anything else, pulled Baoyu over, and looked at him distressedly. Seeing that her precious son was fine, she was relieved.
Seeing that Jia's mother's face was not good, Mrs. Wang was very smart to talk about the letter she received this morning, "It seems that his aunt has encountered some legal troubles, and my eldest brother wants to summon them to Beijing.
"I see that Jia Yucun, who was recommended by our family, is going to Jinling to take up a post, so I just asked him to help settle it so that he can come to Beijing as soon as possible. There is a sister who is older than you at his aunt's house, named Baochai. When she comes, you can play together."
The latter sentence was obviously said to the three sisters and Lin Daiyu.
The old lady sat at the head, and she only raised her eyelids slightly, and was drowned by the barrage in front of her.
"His aunt, Aunt Xue!"
"And 'the stupid bully' Xue Pan and Xue Baochai, they are also going to Beijing"
"It will take some time. Even if the lawsuit is settled, Xue Pan still has to sort out his family business. With the time on the road, it will take at least a month."
"Host, stop Mrs. Wang quickly. She is offering bribes. Besides, how come Xue Pan's beating someone to death has become a little legal crime in her mouth?"
"It's useless to stop him. Jia Yucun is going to be blackened."
"Yes, Jia Yucun was dismissed from office before because he was arrogant and 'disobedient', so he was brought down by his superiors and colleagues. This time he won't learn from his mistakes. He will definitely help Xue Pan get rid of the crime because of his concerns for the Jia, Wang, and Xue families."
"Alas, the Jia family is really full of holes. One by one, they are dragging their feet. I think you can't lead it anymore. You might as well enjoy it every day now."
...
The old lady frowned and asked hurriedly: "Was it because of Xiangling that someone was beaten to death?"
"It's rare that the host still remembers the plot."
...
How can I not remember, "Zhen Yinglian" "really deserves pity", so easy to remember.
The old lady looked at Mrs. Wang, "What legal trouble?"
Mrs. Wang's smile froze immediately, "...I heard that it was a dispute over a maid or a servant."
"It seems true, tsk tsk."
"She didn't tell Grandmother Jia, and Grandmother Jia turned a blind eye. After all, such things are trivial to them."
"Otherwise, how come even Zhou Rui's wife was very calm when she heard her daughter say that her son-in-law was in trouble. Obviously, she is with Wang Xifeng and is used to big scenes."
"This is officials protecting each other."
...
The old lady's eyes left the screen. She felt pity for Xiangling and the man who was beaten to death by Xue Pan.
After living here for a while, the old lady really felt that this was not just a world of fiction. Maybe netizens just watch it for fun, but she can feel that the people around her are flesh and blood and very real.
But even so, there is very little she can do.
After thinking for a while, the old lady said, "Since it is a small matter, I think the Xue family can easily solve it, so don't use connections." She glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "Zheng'er is an official after all. As his wife, don't cause trouble for him."
Mrs. Wang choked, thinking that her mother-in-law was unhappy with her because she was worried about Baoyu just now, and now she was picking on her. She didn't dare to refute, and could only respond vaguely.
The old lady looked at her expression and sighed in her heart, knowing that this matter could not be solved by just one or two words from her.
The most important thing is that the Jia family and the Wang family are of the same blood. Even ordinary people can't ignore their in-laws, let alone such a complicated family.
Moreover, if Jia Yucun over there wants to curry favor, he will do it even if we don't tell him to.
Sure enough, within two days, news came from there: Xue Pan's matter was resolved and he would go to Beijing soon.
Knowing this, the old lady was silent for a moment.
At that time, the old lady was preparing to enter the palace.
Perhaps it was in line with the saying "Living changes the spirit, raising changes the body", compared to when she first traveled through time, the old lady at this time was much more skilled in dealing with the maids and servants around her, as well as all the personnel in the Jia Mansion.
Therefore, she decided to choose a day to go to the palace to invite a nanny.
With her own level of ability, she could still raise Daiyu, but she could only do it blindly.
In order to enter the palace, the old lady also exchanged a "Swastika Gold Embroidered Cloud Brocade" in the mall.
