Yucuo of the Red Chamber

Daiyu nodded, and said to herself: "After all, it is the marriage of Second Master Bao that matters. Even if I have the empress dowager's inexplicable concern, it is not worth the family affection. I am afraid that I will disappoint the empress dowager."

Zijuan hurriedly persuaded: "Young lady is overwhelmed, so you can't change it. It's not for this reason. It's because the old lady passed down the message that the genius doctor told the young lady to rest more. If everyone wants to, please think about the young lady. Don't worry about it." Besides, the juniors can't bear the elders' frequent visits. Not only do they feel uneasy, but they are also afraid of ruining their fortunes. In this way, no one else dares to come. And it's the elders, so it's okay for ordinary people to come to see them. Therefore, it is also convenient for the eldest grandma and the fourth girl."

After all, it is the old lady, what she said seems to be reasonable, and the meaning is clear, Mrs. Wang and the others will never come again.Even in the past two days, most of the food deliveries are from the mother-in-law in Sister Feng's son's house, or Xiaohong.Now that there are few people in the garden, and the mansion sees a lot of expenses, the meals are still cooked in the big kitchen. Sister Feng's yard is close to both ends, so it is easy to take care of.Even a few yams and a bowl of mushroom soup can hardly be sincere for her.

Daiyu walked slowly into the yard, with a waning moon above her head, no longer shining in the morning light, it looked more like a decoration, inlaid in the blue sky, looking at Daiyu under the bamboo shadow with nostalgia, couldn't bear to wait leave.Before the sun rose, Venus sent people a ray of light ahead of time, sometimes blinking, looking at the beautiful jade in the bamboo forest.The morning mist has not dissipated, and it lingers mistyly around the bamboo forest and the house. The breeze blows the long hair, there is no coolness, only frivolity, and even the heart is floating.

The spring is beautiful, the stars are moving, and it is a cycle, and spring comes and goes every year.The morning sun is good, it is ever-changing, it goes and comes again suddenly, I hope I will always wander with Taibai.The parrots under the eaves and the sparrows on the trees are all rushing to peek at the beautiful women in the spring morning light, so getting up early is not too tiring.

Daiyu stopped under the bamboo, looked up, then lowered her head to think about it, suddenly felt that he was also like that parrot, always looking at her, not knowing what he was looking at.Smiling slightly, he continued to walk along the corridor towards the gate of the courtyard. After walking a few steps, he saw bamboo shoots about one or three inches long emerging from the middle of the road, and a red ribbon was tied around his waist.Although it is not as strong as the bamboo shoots in Gusu, and it does not have that simple and naive attitude, it has a different taste.With a melon-seeded face, willow slender waist, body wrapped in a skirt, two petals of bamboo shoots and fangs on the top of the head are slightly swaying in the breeze, frivolous and interesting.This looks the most like a young girl in the south of the Yangtze River who has not grown her hair yet, she is playful and very lovable.

Xueyan supported Daiyu and walked slowly, seeing her shaking her head and looking at the bamboo shoot for nearly a cup of tea, she didn't understand what the girl meant, so she asked suspiciously: "What is the girl thinking?"

Daiyu glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Who tied the ribbon on it, and what did it do?"

It turned out that it was because of this, Xueyan smiled and replied: "Isn't that the day when Grandma Wang said that the bamboo growing in the middle of the road will make the road safe and the house prosperous. In order to prevent people who come in and out from stepping on it carelessly, Grandma Xia found the ribbon. Tied up. The girl doesn’t know, they even burned incense to sacrifice to the gods to keep the girl safe, so it might be of some use.”

Really, Wang Momo just said that, they really take it seriously, but the old mammy didn't bother to care about it at all.After looking at the bamboo shoots, Daiyu was also a little tired, so she turned and walked into the house.Zijuan was feeding the parrot, and the parrot had sharp eyes. Seeing Daiyu return to the house, the parrot quickly flapped its wings and shouted: "The girl is back, Zijuan will quickly open the curtain."

"Understood, the girl didn't go out, why did you say it again?" Zijuan laughed, put all the food in her hand there, and opened the curtain for Daiyu to let her in.

"Leave me alone, go and serve the girl." The parrot called again.Daiyu stood at the door in a daze, and couldn't help laughing.

Daiyu went back to the house and ate some porridge, then leaned on the couch, picked up "Mahayana Predestined Life" and read it.

There was still a brazier on the ground, and there was hot tea on the table next to it. Zijuan brought Daiyu a small quilt to wrap her up from the belly down, and then went to prepare breakfast for her.Daiyu eats less, so if she can take care of it, she can rest assured.

When Chen Zheng was approaching, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and there must have been quite a few people.I heard someone say "be careful old lady", and it really came.Daiyu and Xueyan looked at each other, nodded secretly, and got busy.

Zijuan welcomed Jiamu into the house, and Daiyu hurriedly got up from the couch to greet Jiamu, and said in her mouth: "Greetings to grandma. I haven't been able to pay my respects to grandma for a long time. Please forgive me. Grandmother who works here comes here, granddaughter I feel bad about it."

Mother Jia hurriedly supported her, looked up and down, and refused to let her salute Mrs. Wang, so she still supported her and sat on the couch, while she herself sat on the chair beside the couch.Xueyan waited to bring cushions and cushions for Jia Mu, and asked Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to sit down and serve tea.

Mother Jia just took Daiyu's hand and said, "Good boy, it's hard for you. I've been busy recently, and my grandmother was not feeling well two days ago, so I couldn't come to see you. Just don't blame my grandmother. Min'er left early. , and no one loves you. It is rare to meet such a good doctor nowadays, and it is a blessing to be able to cure your illness. Two days ago, Princess Beijing said that she wanted to wait for you to get better, so please go to Beijing Palace As a guest, would you like to go?"

This... I don't know what kind of medicine the old lady sells in the gourd, and Daiyu couldn't figure it out, so she hesitated for a while before she nodded and said: "Thank you for remembering my grandma, it's my granddaughter's fault that my granddaughter failed to be filial to her grandmother, but let her remember her instead. If the disease really recovers, it will be according to my grandmother's orders. I just don't know why Doufei Bei Jing wants to see me?"

There were thorns all over her body when she said "this disease will really get better", Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Wang also changed her face slightly. Baochai stood behind Mrs. Wang, her face was also a little unnatural.Fortunately, these are only fleeting, Daiyu's words are reasonable, and Jia's mother said: "It will get better, otherwise the Empress Dowager would not be so worried, and sent the genius doctor over and over again. Beijing Dowager and My grandmother is a sister in the boudoir. Occasionally, I heard that I am just a granddaughter like you, and I am not in good health, so I want to see you. , although you have met before, but now she is your second sister-in-law Bao, you are sick and unable to move, and you have met here now, we are all a family, and we will be more harmonious in the future."

Baochai hurried over from behind Mrs. Wang, wearing a gold silk bun with eight treasures and pearls, and wearing a beaded hairpin hanging from five phoenixes in the rising sun. She was rich and gorgeous, just like the dress of a grandma in the main room; Wearing a golden lock, she is dignified and dignified, just in line with the meaning of her newlyweds.It's just that his expression is a little tired, his face is a little dark, and his eyes are a little dull, but he doesn't know why.

Daiyu looked it over, and suddenly thought of Xiangyun. It seems that no matter how rich Baochai is, he is not as harmonious as Xiangyun and his wife.Thinking of this, I felt a little pity in my heart, and hurriedly bowed to her: "I have seen the second sister-in-law of Bao, but I couldn't salute to her in time, please forgive me. I have received the gift from the second sister-in-law, I will do it later Thanks."

Except for Li Wanfeng's sister and son Xichun who knew the details and looked on coldly, everyone was taken aback, it can be said that they were taken aback.No one in Jia's manor knew that Daiyu and Baoyu were good friends, and they were in love with each other, which was revealed from time to time even in front of people.Unexpectedly, at this moment in front of Baochai, the situation is so calm, as if this matter has nothing to do with her.Even Jia's mother was a little unexpected; Mrs. Wang half closed her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking, or she didn't know what Daiyu was thinking.

Baochai was also taken aback, but kept her composure, calmed down a little, and returned the gift generously: "Your sister is too polite, and my sister is not in good health. I can't visit and take care of her often, so please ask my sister Haihan. It's a small gift, but please Sister accepts it with a smile." After receiving a gift list from Yinger, it turned out to be another meeting gift, and the things have been put aside, waiting to be collected.

Daiyu took it over and took a look, but it was: one piece of makeup satin and python satin, one piece of red feather satin and feather gauze; A pair of emerald long hairpins, a pair of emerald long hairpins, a pair of long emerald hairpins inlaid with gemstones, a pair of red gold silk inlaid jewel earrings, a pair of white jade gold earrings, a pair of white jade bracelets, a pair of emerald bracelets; thick fingers One ginseng, one box of borneol; one new book, one precious inkstone.

Ordinary aunts and sisters, why give such a heavy gift?Daiyu hurriedly returned the gift list to Baochai and said, "Second Sister Bao is such a generous gift, please forgive me for not daring to accept it for nothing. Please forgive me, Second Sister Bao."

Baochai smiled and persuaded: "You and I were originally in love with sisters, but now we are sisters-in-law again. We are a family, so why bother to pay attention to these vain rituals? It's just some things, I also use them." Not so much, if I can share it with my sister, it will be a joy for everyone. And you are not ignorant of my temper, I have always been the most impatient with those cumbersome things. If my sister likes it, I have a lot of it, and I will give it to my sister another day Bring it."

Daiyu wanted to refuse, but Jia Mu pulled her to sit down and persuaded her lightly, "Since Baoyu's daughter-in-law is interested, you can accept Yu'er, so as not to embarrass her. How is your illness now? Feng girl said that you are much better, but I still look very weak? You have to make mistakes in the usual spring and autumn, so you have to pay more attention now."

Daiyu handed over the gift list to Zijuan, sat down and said, "Thank you grandma for remembering, it's much better. It's just that the past few days have been hot and cold, and I'm a little uncomfortable. Maybe it will be better in summer. The genius doctor just said Rest more, eat less food, recuperate slowly, and see the aftermath." Besides, she had only escaped death for a few days, and she could get better immediately, but it was just inconvenient to say this.
