【brief introduction】

A map draws out ambitions, three points in the world, who wins?

Why did the loving grandmother drift away, and how the warmth of family affection was so short-lived?

Flesh and blood relatives can't resist the schemes of power, and the initial protection has faded away.

But, why did those eyes still appear in the dream?A quiet heart is restless,

But it has been haunting for a long time?I thought we were strangers since then, but unexpectedly we met again...

Going round and round, true and false, Shui Yuyuan has her own destiny...

*******

Daiyu is intelligent, kind and unparalleled in beauty.A shocking conspiracy made her no longer able to enjoy the carefree life in her boudoir. Facing the national calamity and family enmity, what kind of responsibility does a weak woman have?

The water-soluble, enigmatic prince has no clue, and as the eldest son of the royal family, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.He met Daiyu by chance and fell in love with him.

Mo Liyang, a hot-tempered, proud lady, with advanced thinking, and childhood sweethearts with the emperor, but she couldn't convince herself to accept the Sangong and Six Courtyards stipulated by the ancestral system, and finally chose to leave.

Shui Qingchuan, an emperor, loves Liyang, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the Sangong Sixth Courtyard. What should he do when his lover is gone?

001 hostility

The capital is not like the charm of Suzhou.

The capital, even along the canal, is full of traces of artificial carvings, especially one or two days before arriving in Beijing. In the evening, you can’t see the smoke from the cooking, and you can’t see the laundry woman by the river during the day. The high fence separates the river from the river. Separated from the shore, it becomes another world. The fence is carved and gilded, and the shape is beautiful. Calculated, this must be the route that the emperor must pass when he goes out for a tour, so he has painstakingly considered and decorated it.

The beauty of Gusu is not such a rich and colorful beauty, but more like an elegant landscape painting, with occasional uncanny natural landscapes, which makes people reluctant to add a little more to it.Celebrities and poets love Jiangnan the most. Without the sensitivity and repression of the political center, poetic talent can flourish.It is also a prosperous age, and there is no need to praise the monarch, nor worry about the country and the people, but just follow the mood, feel life, and comment on the past and the present.

Although in the past she didn't realize it was precious, but now the lonely boat is drifting away, coupled with the pain of losing her mother and leaving her father, Daiyu rests her chin and looks into the distance through the curtain, suddenly wishing that this waterway would never end...

Jia Min is seriously ill, even though she has a husband and son-in-law who take care of her with clothes on her back, and a loving daughter who is filial with tea and medicine, but in the end, the concubine's fate is unlucky, and she can't survive the day, and she will give up all love and hate, and die in sorrow.After hearing the news of the funeral, Mrs. Jia from the Rongguo Mansion in the capital begged Lin Ruhai several times in handwriting to pity the pain of her missing daughter and let her granddaughter Daiyu come to the capital to accompany her for a while, so as to comfort her loving mother.Daiyu was worried about Ruhai's health, so she didn't want to go, but when Jia Min was alive, she only exchanged letters with Jia's mother once or twice, and had no close relatives.In order to fulfill her filial piety for her mother, Fang agreed and resigned from Lin Ruhai to live in the capital.The waterway is far away, and I am afraid that we will be separated for a long time. It is said that it is a short stay, but it is very hard.

Suddenly, I only heard a soft call: "Miss, sir, there is a message that we will arrive in some time, and please ask the lady to make it safe so that we can go ashore calmly." Xueyan held Daiyu's cloak, He said softly: "Mr. asked the girl if she has any other orders. It will be difficult to turn back when she lands."

For a moment, Daiyu regained her senses from her sorrow, and for a moment, with her handkerchief lightly shedding tears, she said softly, "Didn't you and the mother get along well yesterday... don't bother me anymore, but I'm all alone. What else can I worry about..." She was sensitive and thoughtful at first, and she hadn't fully recovered from the grief of her deceased mother, and she embarked on a journey to Beijing, seeing the grandparent's family that she had never seen before, somewhat strange and elusive a feeling of.

Xueyan knew that she must be missing her father and mother again, so she lost her mind and stopped talking. She just tied the cloak for Daiyu, then knelt down to adjust the skirt, and when Daiyu calmed down, she got up to serve tea Persuasion, said: "The girl is thinking too much, the master is grateful to Mrs. Jia for his order to miss her daughter and granddaughter, and because the Lin family is thin after all, the master is busy with official duties and may not have time to accompany the girl, so he sent it here to stay for a while. I heard that..." Xueyan paused for a while, then said with a smile: "I heard that the Jia family has many sisters and brothers, and the girl also has some playmates. By the way, there is also a cousin who was born with jade Woolen cloth."

"You girl doesn't read much, but you're clever..." Although Daiyu eased her brows for the time being, a hint of melancholy shrouded her. She helped the silver-white pearl hairpin on the side of her bun, sighed, and said, "If grandma didn't miss you, I don't want to come to Beijing. I don't care about my brothers and sisters. I don't like it. It's better to be with my father. My mother just passed away, and I left home..." Thinking of Lin Ruhai, Daiyu couldn't help it , The teardrops slid down the cheeks like broken pearls, and they were still continuous after repeated wiping.

"Seeing that we have already arrived in the capital, the girl might as well put it down for now. It will not be too late to make a plan after Mr. Jia's order is appeased. At that time, the master will definitely send someone to pick him up..." Xue Yan just finished speaking, only to feel the boat After a pause, she hurriedly helped Daiyu to stabilize herself.It turned out that the boat had docked before we knew it.

A low voice came from outside, as if a nanny was giving an order, and then the rustling footsteps stepped on the board of the boat, and the boat shook slightly involuntarily.

Who is it?But Jia Lian came to pick him up with three third-class women and maidservants. They had all the horses, carriages and sedan chairs, and they had been waiting for a long time.

Jia Lian went over and greeted Jia Yucun on the small boat, and the headed woman led people onto the Lin family's big boat. The red carpet was spread all the way to the cabin door, and the two rows stood up. Said: "My respectful invitation, Miss Lin."

The mother of the Lin family who was guarding outside hurriedly opened the cabin door, Xueyan helped Daiyu out slowly, and Wang mother followed closely behind, holding Daiyu's hairpin, ring, jewelry box and other items.

The lotus step is easy, the weak body shakes, inadvertently lifts the green finger lightly, the woman hastily stretched out her hand, and sighs at Daiyu's ivory-like jade hands, and then slightly raises her head to look at her face, it's amazing!Although the accessories are plain and show filial piety, but they don't wear makeup, the girls and maids in the mansion are all compared.Not only is the temperament of the eldest girl from back then most likely inherited, but she also suddenly has the elegance and arrogance of Mrs. Lin when she was young.I sighed from the bottom of my heart, how could parents be willing to send such a character to this world!

"Miss Lin, please help me!" The mother-in-law recalled Zhou Rui's family's instructions, and she couldn't help walking and laughing: "Miss is tired from traveling, our second wife cherishes it, and arranges for the girl to go to the nearby Jingxin Nunnery to rest for a while before returning home." It's not too late to go."

"What...but what's the meaning?" Daiyu paused in her footsteps, puzzled, how could she greet guests like this.Xueyan rushed to ask: "Is there still some way to go?"

"No, but it's not far away." The woman shook her head quickly, looked at Jia Lian who was busy with Jia Yucun, but got no response, and hesitated: "The wife is worried about the girl's body, so don't tell her to hurry up, just call her It’s not too late to start after resting.”

"What's the reasoning for this!" Xueyan couldn't help feeling angry, and just about to say something, she suddenly felt her arm was lightly pinched by Daiyu.

"Please lead the way." Daiyu's eyes darkened, but her expression remained the same and she said politely.

"Don't dare to do it! Don't dare to do it!" The mother-in-law was uneasy, and hurriedly asked the girl to raise the curtain of the sedan chair, helped Daiyu to sit up, then turned around and asked Xueyan and Wang Momo to get on the second, smaller one.I couldn't help thinking in my heart, it was my wife who ordered the second master Lian to make arrangements, but how could I be used as a gunman? Fortunately, Miss Lin was not stubborn and rebellious. Although she was displeased, she didn't immediately shame her. She just burned high incense. .

While exchanging greetings, Jia Lian glanced at the actions of the mother-in-law and the others, and listened carefully.Seeing that everything was in order, she suddenly turned around and went to greet her cousin in front of the sedan chair, and Daiyu returned the salute through the curtain.

It didn't take long for a group of carriages and horses to arrive at the Jingxin Nunnery. The nunnery is not big, and it has three sets of courtyards.Lian Er took his young servants to drink tea in the outer courtyard, and the other women were on standby in the second courtyard. The woman sent Daiyu inside to settle down, and Fang tiptoed to the outer courtyard.

"Second Master Lian, look at this..." full of grievances and fears.

"What are you afraid of? The sky is falling, my wife is holding it up. Didn't you say something else? Cousin Lin is so transparent, why would she care about it!" Jia Lian spat out the tea stem that had been in her mouth in disgust, and lifted her robe. Erlang legs, put the tea bowl aside.

"Yes! What the second master said is right. Miss Lin is fine, but the old lady..." The old lady hung her head cowardly and muttered as if she was not reconciled.What the second wife said at the time was that Miss Lin had filial piety, and Jia's family was a big family, so they must not be offended by the loyalty and filial piety of outsiders, and must go to the nunnery to pay homage to Fang Jie.This discerning person doesn't want to be seen, making troubles out of nothing, but the second master Lian is cunning and avoids offending others.

"You guys are really ignorant!" Jia Lian snorted, "Madam will take care of herself, so you don't need to worry about it!" Impatiently got up and flung her sleeves, the mother-in-law had to go away in fear.

Let's talk about Daiyu, seeing the dignified and kind Guanyin statue enshrined in the inner room of the nunnery, she couldn't help but think of Jia Min. She knelt on the futon and kowtowed three times respectfully, clasping her hands and silently praying for her parents.

Mother Wang frowned and said nothing, but Xueyan was younger and very aggressive. Seeing that Daiyu was silent, she couldn't help being angry, and stepped forward and said: "Girl, there is no such reason in the world, please." Miss Wanqiu came to Beijing, and saw her relatives' house, and made some nonsense for no reason. Anyway, the girl is also..."

"Snow geese!" Daiyu said softly, "I came to Beijing as a guest, just for the sake of that elderly grandmother. As for how other people think, it's very boring. Today's boat pick-up rituals are enough, and the carriages, horses and sedan chairs are also top-notch. But it is different from my Lin family
