Uncle Jiu was wearing a white double-breasted jacket, which made his slightly red face look even more awkward.
He felt ashamed when he was caught talking about others behind their backs.
Only when he realized that Lin Daiyu didn't care did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him curiously, he could only continue, "On the night of Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai's wedding, Daiyu... I mean another Lin Daiyu."
"She vomited blood and died!"
"Ah!" Huang Rong exclaimed.
"Ah, is it caused by anger?" Ying Yinman was surprised.
The expressions of the other people when they looked at Lin Daiyu also became strange and sympathetic.
"It probably has something to do with my mood," said Uncle Jiu.
He only heard it from the storyteller and no longer remembered the details clearly.
Lin Daiyu frowned slightly and was in a bad mood.
Uncle Jiu comforted her, "Miss Lin, don't worry. The Jia family will have its own retribution."
"What retribution?" asked Xiao Longnu.
"The Jia family was at its peak when Jia Yuanchun was made a noble concubine and the Grand View Garden was built. But after Daiyu's death, Yuanchun also fell out of favor in the palace. She probably died of illness, or she might have been executed by the emperor."
"Because of this incident, and the involvement of the Zhen family, the Xue family, and others, the Jia family ended up having their property confiscated." Uncle Jiu said.
"Search the property?" Lin Daiyu's expression changed.
Her tone did not sound happy that she had achieved great revenge, but rather one of disbelief.
"Yes." said Uncle Jiu.
"What about the guys?" Lin Daiyu asked in a trembling voice.
"Jia Baoyu should have become a monk, Xue Baochai may have died of illness, Wang Xifeng returned to her parents' home and died of illness, and her daughter was sold to a brothel by her uncle. It was Granny Liu, who had once benefited from her, who spent all her family wealth to redeem her..." Uncle Jiu recalled carefully.
"Second brother...where is Jia Lian?" Lin Daiyu asked.
"Maybe he's dead." Uncle Jiu couldn't remember clearly.
Lin Daiyu fell silent suddenly.
Uncle Jiu was puzzled and realized that he seemed to have misunderstood.
Ying Yinman comforted her, "Now that Daiyu has come to the tavern, everything is different."
The others also spoke up.
Everyone felt quite sympathetic towards this little girl with a miserable fate.
Xiaolongnu also felt that she was not so lonely and helpless anymore.
In comparison, she was much luckier.
It is better to be without a father or a mother than to watch your parents leave you at a young age.
Lin Daiyu calmed down and smiled gently: "I know."
Noticing everyone's expressions, she felt helpless and explained, "My father is well now."
As she spoke, she glanced around the tavern, looking for Xiao Yan.
Although she didn't have anything to give, she still wanted to sincerely thank her lifesaver.
"Xiao Yanzi didn't come today." Seeing that she saw him, Xiao Li, who had heard about what his brother had done, said with a smile.
Xiaobai explained: "This is Yan Di's second brother."
Lin Daiyu suddenly realized.
She bowed to Xiao Li, and seeing that Roaring Sky Dog was gone, she turned her gaze to the people in front of her.
These people kept looking at her, and their sympathetic eyes made her feel uncomfortable all over.
She took the initiative to say: "My father and I have already discussed that we will return to Yangzhou this time and will not return to Beijing in the future."
"Where is Jia Baoyu?" Huang Rong blurted out.
She was really curious.
Lin Daiyu said softly: "Brother Bao is my cousin, there is nothing between us."
She did have some feelings for this cousin, but she had no other thoughts, let alone marrying him.
Ying Yinman seemed to be thinking about something.
Huang Rong said aloud: "That's right, Daiyu is still young now!"
Xiaolongnu tilted her head, raised her hand and patted Huang Rong on the head.
Huang Rong shook her head vigorously, reached out to take Xiao Longnu's hand away, and asked, "Don't you hate the Jia family?"
Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "Everyone is so nice to me, why should I hate them?"
Even though she learned from her Uncle Jiu that Grandmother Jia preferred Jia Baoyu, she was not surprised.
Besides, she has no romantic feelings for Bao brother now, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with the so-called forced separation of the couple. At most, she just feels a little sad because her mother is not around.
Ying Yinman glanced at Lin Daiyu's expression and said with a smile, "Daiyu is new to the tavern, so you must have a lot of questions, right?"
Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly.
She really didn't want to discuss those embarrassing topics with everyone.
"Let me tell you." Huang Rong said with a smile, "How old is Sister Lin this year?"
"Eleven." Lin Daiyu said.
"Then I am much older than you, you can call me Sister Rong." Huang Rong smiled brightly.
Lin Daiyu said obediently, "Sister Rong."
Huang Rong smiled and said, "Hey, dear sister, this is Xiao Long Nu..."
"Sister Long."
"Sister Yin Man."
"Sister Xiaobai."
…
Lin Daiyu greeted everyone one by one, and everyone had a smile on their face.
They all found it very interesting to have such a little sister.
Ying Yinman also took out a jade pendant as a gift, and the others also expressed their gratitude.
With the introduction of several people, Lin Daiyu's understanding of the tavern gradually deepened.
She was surprised to learn that the guests came from different worlds, including some from historical legends and even mythological figures, even though she had known this for a long time.
The fine wines on the wine list and the dazzling array of collections in the treasure house made her quite interested.
When they introduced the Hero's Order and heard several people laughingly saying that if they encountered any problems, they could come to the tavern and ask for help, Lin Daiyu's tense heart suddenly relaxed.
She knew that it was a crime to possess a treasure.
Originally, she was worried that her "immortal fate" would be known to others and cause disputes, but now she knows that there is no need to worry at all.
If you are really forced into a corner, the worst that can happen is that you shamelessly ask for help.
Compared with these, the surprise that the restaurant brought to her was much less.
After declining the invitation, Lin Daiyu asked another question: "Sister Rong, how can I get the time-space coin?"
Huang Rong explained it again with a smile.
Is there anything valuable on him? Does his innocent body count? This thought flashed through Lin Daiyu's mind, and she blushed and shook her head secretly.
She was an ordinary person with nothing of value.
"Not just gold, but silver jewelry as well?" she asked.
"Yes," Ying Yinman said with a smile, "This is a benefit that the master has given to us mortals."
Lin Daiyu suddenly realized.
After chatting with everyone for a few words, collecting the many gifts she received, and silently noting the value of several extraordinary wines and treasures, she said goodbye and left.
When she reappeared in the courtyard, Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian, who had been silent, hurried over to look at her.
The two looked at Lin Daiyu's extra bag in surprise and couldn't wait to ask a bunch of questions.
Lin Daiyu gave answers one by one.
"You said that immortals can come here?" Lin Ruhai asked in surprise.
"It costs a thousand taels of gold to invite one person," said Lin Daiyu. "If we really run into any trouble, we can let them come for free, but it will still cost us a favor."
"The more you use favors, the thinner they become. It's better to use less," Lin Ruhai said, shaking with excitement. "Although a thousand taels of gold is a lot, it's not that Dad can't take it out."
Jia Lian, however, paid attention to another thing.
"Sister, do you mean there is more than one fairy?" he asked.
Lin Daiyu nodded and suddenly smiled, "The one who sent me the wine was Erlang Shen's Roaring Sky Dog."
He suddenly felt worried.
If someone shows you kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Could it be that the dog has a crush on his daughter?
Having a dog son-in-law always makes him feel uncomfortable, even if he is a fairy dog.
"Howling Sky Dog is enthusiastic and has no airs of a divine dog at all," Lin Daiyu smiled as she thought about everyone's description of Howling Sky Dog and said, "Erlang Shen Yang Jian even calls me his sister."
Lin Ruhai suddenly felt at ease.
Erlang Shen calls his daughter "sister", so having a dog son-in-law is probably out of the question.
Jia Lian was a little proud.
Daiyu is his sister, and Erlang Shen also calls her sister. So, doesn't that mean he and Erlang Shen are brothers?
"And there is the daughter of the First Emperor. I am very familiar with her." Lin Daiyu said with a hint of pride in her tone.
"The First Emperor?" Lin Ruhai was surprised.
Lin Daiyu nodded: "Not only him, but also Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin... I have met them all, and they are all very gentle people."
"Are they also gods?" Jia Lian asked.
Lin Ruhai said: "Those people must be gods who came down to earth to save the common people!"
"Are there any other gods?" Jia Lian was curious.
Lin Daiyu suddenly stretched out her hand, revealing an exquisite watch on her wrist, and said, "This was given to me by a Western god. His name is Tony, also known as Iron Man, and he likes to tinker with some weird things."
Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian looked over.
The watch is white and looks quite delicate.
Lin Ruhai raised his hand and touched the brilliant dial, exclaiming: "This is indeed not something from this world."
Lin Daiyu smiled slightly and put her hand on the watch dial.
When Lin Ruhai saw a light screen flashing from the watch, he stepped back in fear.
When his daughter saw him, he smiled awkwardly again.
Jia Lian moved closer out of curiosity.
"This is an extended screen on the watch..." Lin Daiyu explained briefly as Huang Rong taught her, and finally clicked a button.
Human figures and images suddenly appeared on the light curtain.
Lin Ruhai looked solemn.
Jia Lian clenched his fists and asked, "Are these gods?"
Seeing the two men looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Lin Daiyu laughed secretly.
She had long forgotten that she had had the same reaction when she saw this thing not long ago.
"Of course not, it's called a TV series," she laughed, "similar to a shadow play."
Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief. They then became curious again: "But those people are just like living people, and the picture..."
"It was filmed by a living person..." When Lin Daiyu spoke, she thought of the enthusiastic reaction of Sister Long, who had a cold expression and didn't talk much, when she said these words, and found it interesting.
I heard that Sister Long likes watching TV series very much.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian looked at each other and felt their eyes were opened.
They had thought that gods could call the wind and rain and turn beans into soldiers, but they had never expected that there were such magical things.
“It has another form.”
When Lin Daiyu said this, she suddenly opened her five fingers, and the watch suddenly began to flow like water, and in an instant it turned into a metal glove.
She raised her hand and glanced at the crabapple tree in the yard.
An energy cannon condensed in his palm, and with a "bang" it knocked down the crabapple tree.
Lin Ruhai almost jumped away again out of fright.
Jia Lian's eyes were burning as he said, "Could this Iron Man immortal be the most powerful immortal in the tavern?"
"That's not the case," Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "The most powerful one is Erlang Shen, and there is also a man called the Ruthless Emperor..."
“But he’s also very good!”
After all, she felt guilty about taking the favor, so Lin Daiyu boasted a few more words on Tony's behalf.
She turned on the TV again, pointed at the high-rise buildings and the endless stream of cars, and said, "This is what our future world will look like."
"Isn't this the fairyland?" Lin Ruhai was stunned.
"Of course not." Lin Daiyu said with a smile.
As she spoke, she opened a small bag she was carrying.
This was given to her by Feng Baobao.
Even though she still doesn't smile much, Feng Baobao has already understood some of the ways of the world.
Lin Daiyu took out two...pistols from her bag.
Seeing the pitch-black object with a metallic luster, Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian were both curious.
Lin Daiyu handed it to the two and said, "This thing is called a pistol. It can shoot bullets. It is many times more powerful than a bow and arrow. Dad and second brother can keep it for self-defense."
Lin Ruhai was surprised.
He looked at the object in his hand.
Could this tiny thing really be comparable to a bow and arrow?
"How to use it?" Jia Lian had already started playing with it.
Lin Daiyu said a few words.
Jia Lian excitedly turned on the safety and pointed the gun at a large vat in the yard.
When he pulled the trigger, a thunderous explosion suddenly occurred.
The big vat broke into pieces!
Lin Ruhai was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost dropped the gun.
Jia Lian was shocked and held the gun with both hands: "How can a bow and arrow compare to this thing? It is indeed a weapon of the gods!"
"No," Lin Daiyu corrected, "This is a weapon from the future, given to me by a brother."
She addressed them one by one as brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, and won a lot of favor in the pub and received many gifts.
The people who gave her the gun were Peter and Harry, two good friends who were not very old.
The most valuable thing she received was actually a jade hairpin.
The jade hairpin was given to her by Li Jing and his wife.
This is not the soul-capturing hairpin that Xiaobai traded to the tavern. Its value is actually higher.
It is in tune with Lin Daiyu's thoughts and can hover and move in the air according to her thoughts.
Even though she was just a mortal with no additional strength, the jade hairpin was enough to kill people without them being seen within a thousand meters.
When Mrs. Yin heard about her experience earlier, she was heartbroken.
She herself had no daughter, and when she saw that Nezha was close to him, she came up with the idea of adopting a goddaughter.
She discussed it with Li Jing, and the other party did not object.
Li Jing also felt that it was not a bad thing to adopt a goddaughter across dimensions.
But the two did not bring it up directly today.
Giving away the jade hairpin was just a gesture. They planned to observe for a few more days to determine the other party's character, and by the way, ask the gentleman whether he objects before formally proposing the recognition of relatives.
Lin Daiyu knew that the jade hairpin was extraordinary, but she didn't know its true value.
"Weapons of the future?" Lin Ruhai stared at the pistol in his hand with a look of surprise and doubt.
If everyone possessed this thing, I'm afraid the world would be even more chaotic, right? Lin Daiyu hesitated and said, "Wait a few days, if I save enough money, I will ask my father and second brother to go to the future world to see it."
But Feng Baobao invited her.
I heard that the other party's world has tall buildings and strange people with magical powers.
She was naturally extremely curious about the future world.
As long as you have a hundred time and space coins, it is not difficult to take two people to another world without exposing the tavern.
Of course, if she really had money, she would definitely invite her father to the pub.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian were both looking forward to it.
But soon, Jia Lian thought of another thing and asked, "Sister, have you ever heard those gods say what will happen to us in the future?"
