Lin Mo went back to his room alone, feeling very aggrieved.
He called Lin Ping over and asked Lin Ping to find a house in the capital far away from the Jia residence. The place had to be spacious and clean, with simple neighborhood relations and a good atmosphere. After he looked good, he would come back and report to him.
Lin Ping received the order and went to look around.
The Lady Dowager left Daiyu behind and held her in her arms. Daiyu felt strange and twisted her body. Baoyu also came forward.
Grandmother Jia and Daiyu talked about Jia Min. They hadn't seen each other since they married in Jiangnan. Although they wrote to each other every year, it was not as good as being in front of her.
When there was more news, it was already eternally separated from heaven and earth. As the grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried bitterly, Baoyu also shed a lot of tears.
Yuanyang had heard enough from outside and came in to persuade her." My condolences, Old Ancestor and Miss Lin.”
The three of them held back their tears for a moment. Yuanyang brought hot water and helped them wipe their faces.
Grandmother Jia rubbed Daiyu's hand and asked,"Your mother has never mentioned your brother. Why did he suddenly come with you?"?”
Although Daiyu was young, she could tell that Grandmother Jia did not like her brother.
"Brother's biological mother passed away after giving birth to Brother. Brother has been raised by his mother since he was young. This time, his father was afraid that it would be unsafe on the road to his grandmother's house, so he asked his brother to come along.”
Daiyu didn't want to say more and simply explained.
Baoyu recalled what happened that day and couldn't help but shiver.
Grandmother Jia and Daiyu looked at him strangely.
"I want to sneeze," Baoyu said awkwardly.”
"Can a child like him protect you?”Grandmother Jia said disdainfully.
"Brother has been learning martial arts from a great teacher since he was young.”Daiyu said with admiration.
When Baoyu heard this, he was a little afraid and shrank back. He wanted to leave but couldn't bear to leave Daiyu.
"Old ancestor, let's let little sister Lin stay in the green gauze closet. This way, she'll be close to you and can play with her sisters every day.”Baoyu wanted to see Daiyu, but he was afraid of Lin Mo, so he had to beg Grandmother Jia to keep Daiyu by his side.
Grandmother Jia looked at Daiyu.
Daiyu was acting up as a child. She had never seen Grandmother Jia before, and this morning, Grandmother Jia had sincerely given her the cold shoulder. She felt that she was not as close as Lin Mo and was unwilling to stay with Grandmother Jia.
"I want to live with my brother." Daiyu's mouth was pursed, and she was about to cry.
Seeing this situation, Grandmother Jia knew that she and Daiyu would not be able to kiss for a while. In addition, Lin Mo was not to be trifled with, so she did not dare to force Daiyu to stay.
"Be good. Yu 'Er will live with brother, but you must come to see grandmother every day.”Grandmother Jia thought that she could not be anxious. As long as Daiyu came every day, she would be close to her sooner or later.
Outside, the snow geese were anxious, but they could not show anything in front of the mandarin ducks.
Seeing that Daiyu did not agree, Baoyu suddenly wilted. He only liked beautiful girls. His sisters were all good-looking, but now that he had a fairy-like sister, he couldn't see her every day and play with her. He was very unhappy.
After sitting for a while, Daiyu got up and left. Grandmother Jia asked Daiyu to have lunch before leaving. Daiyu said that she had been delicate since she was young and had to pay special attention to her diet. For this reason, her brother had specially formulated a set of recipes. These few days, she had been tired from traveling. Her brother instructed her to rest more and recuperate well, lest she fell ill again.
Seeing that Daiyu had said so, Grandmother Jia did not force her to stay. She only instructed Daiyu to come over every day.
Daiyu could only agree.
Pear Fragrance Courtyard was in chaos. Lin Mo had invited a few craftsmen to build the kitchen. Everyone was busy.
Seeing that Daiyu had returned, Lin Mo waved his hand to let her return to the house.
Lin Mo cleaned up and went in." I'll have to trouble you for the next few days. We'll be fine in two or three days. I'll ask Qing Ping to bring your recipe to the kitchen for a few days.”
Daiyu said," Brother, I'm in good health now. There's no need to go through so much trouble. After all, living in my grandmother's house is not as comfortable as living in my own home."”
"It's fine, we've already spent our money. Ten thousand taels of silver is enough for us to eat for three to five years.”Lin Mo said arrogantly. He thought to himself, I'll be moving out in three or two months. The money is basically gone. What's the point of letting them cook a few meals?
"You should rest for a few days. I'll get you a shuttlecock and rope skipping.”
Daiyu was used to exercising every day, but she didn't know what shuttlecock skipping was.
"Brother, what is this shuttlecock skipping rope?”Daiyu asked curiously.
"Sigh, I can't explain it in a short time. I'll cook for you when the kitchen is ready. It'll be fun then."
Qing Ping came back to report," It's just as Young Master said. At first, the kitchen pushed me around, but when I took out the silver, they immediately agreed.”Qing Ping's tone was obviously dissatisfied.
"Alright, it's fine as long as the matter is done.”Lin Mo said good-naturedly.
In the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime. The kitchen sent someone to bring Lin Mo and Daiyu's lunch. Lin Mo saw that it was well prepared and no one made things difficult for them or gossiped. He thought to himself that money could really make the world go round.
Since there was nothing to do after the meal, everyone took an afternoon nap together. Baoyu did not dare to disturb them so he finally had a good sleep.
Lin Ping came back in the afternoon and said that he wanted to look at a few houses. When Lin Mo was free, they would go and take a look together. Lin Mo praised Lin Ping for his efficiency.
Lin Ping thought to himself, Young Master sure has a lot of fresh words.
Lin Mo thought to himself that he might not be able to make it in time since he had to do the kitchen today. He would do it tomorrow then. The two of them decided to go out to look at the house tomorrow morning.
The craftsmen were quick and efficient, and they finished building the kitchen in the evening. Lin Mo ordered them to pay the wages and rewarded them with some silver. The craftsmen thanked him profusely and carefully reminded him of the things to take note of.
Lin Mo clapped his hands and looked at the kitchen he had designed with satisfaction. It was a pity that there was no natural gas and electricity in this era. Otherwise, it would be perfect.
Unfortunately, he could not produce natural gas.
The cook and the maids were all attracted by the kitchen. Lin Mo pointed out to everyone what they were doing and how to use it. Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder.
Daiyu listened to Xueyan and the others go back and tell her about it, so she was curious and wanted to go take a look. Xueyan advised," It's not too late to go after you've packed up in a day or two."”Daiyu could only dismiss the idea.
Lin Mo returned to his room and drew a simple shuttlecock and rope skipping. He taught Qing Ping how to make them and asked her to teach the servant girls to make more. They could play with them or give them to others. It was not expensive and novel.
Qing Ping was very excited. She called over the servant girls to give them pointers. Everyone understood immediately and began to make them excitedly.
The next day, when Lin Mo woke up, he heard the sound of laughter outside. Qing Ping did not come in to help him get dressed. Fortunately, he had been here for a few months, and Lin Mo had learned most of it. He put on his clothes and went to the courtyard to see that the servant girls were holding the shuttlecock skipping rope that they had made and comparing it with each other, trying to figure out how to play it.
Lin Mo smiled and didn't disturb them. He returned to the house.
