Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Baochai's heart skipped a beat when she heard that Daiyu's words were rather lonely, and when she wanted to ask, there were people everywhere, noisy, but it was a bit inconvenient.What's more, although she herself is very assertive in dealing with things on weekdays, she only follows the routine. When it comes to life-long affairs, she also listens to her family members' opinions, and she doesn't know how to persuade them.

After much deliberation, he had no choice but to hold back for the time being, and planned to bring it up to Bo Yang, thinking he must have a way to persuade him.

It was a very enjoyable night, and they drank some wine, everyone went to bed late, and the next day, when the palace sent another person, the whole family hurriedly got up to pack up and greet them.

This time, it was not because of any order from the palace, but because of two nuns who taught Baochai palace etiquette.As the concubine of the county, Baochai will have to visit the palace frequently in the future, and socialize with the wives of other clans, so etiquette, interpersonal and other things have to be learned from the beginning.

These two nuns were specially asked by Princess Jingping for her, which shows how much she attaches importance to this future daughter-in-law.

The Xue family was originally worried that the two nuns were too strict, after all, it was not unheard of rumors in this regard before.Unexpectedly, the attitudes of these two were very accommodating and polite, although they were demanding, they didn't intend to rule Baochai just because of their birth in the palace, on the contrary, they devoted themselves to teaching them.

But she was really busy.Every day is full of time, and there are countless things waiting for me when I open my eyes, and I can fall asleep immediately in bed.In such a hurry, Baochai almost forgot about Daiyu's strange situation.

The reason for saying "almost" is because she thought of this matter several times, and she planned to meet Bo Yang and tell him about it.But the two nuns disagreed with this very much, thinking that since she had decided on the marriage, it was inappropriate for her to see her cousin at this time.Don't say that Bo Yang is just a righteous brother, even his real brother Xue Pan, it's best not to see him.

The fact that Xue's family was able to form a marriage with the county king, not to mention outsiders, even themselves, felt that it was really high.On the face of Baochai, she could handle it, but in her heart she couldn't be without a little panic, for fear that she might not do well in something, which would dissatisfy the other side.Facing the two mothers with smiles on their faces, they couldn't muster up the courage to refute.

As for Daiyu's return to Shizhong Temple, even if she wanted to say it herself, she couldn't.

When she went to say hello to Aunt Xue that day, she happened to meet Bo Yang and Xue Pan leaving, so she took the time to mention it. ——The various study time carefully arranged by the two nuns for her, on weekdays, they even deliberately staggered the time for asking for safety.It was too late today because Xue Pan and Aunt Xue had discussed Baochai's dowry.

She didn't say it clearly, but just said, "Sister Lin lives alone in Shizhong Temple, so she is a bit lonely. She has a cold temper, and the morning and evening bells are drumming all day long. Last time, she became more and more unpopular. I don't have time to meet now. , Brother Yang, if you have time, you can visit her often."

Bo Yang nodded in agreement.

He let Daiyu live in the temple, the original intention was to exercise, not to let her become a monk, but with her sentimental temperament, she is often in such an environment, maybe she will really be affected. Influence.

When I think about it this way, I can't let go of my heart.After going to the shop to make some arrangements, he went directly to the outside of the city.

He didn't send someone to notify in advance, but he just wanted to see what Daiyu was doing and how her mental state was.

The place where the female relatives live is not allowed to enter.Bo Yang walked in behind the Zhike monk, passed several major halls, and turned into the peach forest in the back mountain.Compared with the last time I came back, there are many more pilgrims coming and going in the temple, because it is the beginning of spring, this peach forest is a famous grand scene in Beijing, many people will come here for a spring outing, by the way Burning incense and praying for blessings makes it very lively.

After walking along the winding path for more than ten minutes, the number of people gradually disappeared.Only then did I see a section of white courtyard wall from a distance, separating the peach forest from the other side. Inside the wall, houses with green bricks and green tiles could be vaguely seen, mixed with flowers and trees, very quiet.

When he got to the door, Bo Yang noticed that there was still a plaque hanging on the door, with the words "Pure Lotus Terrace" written on it.

The Zhike monk knocked on the door, and soon a nun came to answer the door. Knowing that Bo Yang came to visit Daiyu, she didn't even open the door. She pointed to the east and said, "Benefactor Lin has been there for the past few days. A benefactor can find someone by himself."

Bo Yang walked east along the courtyard wall for a while, and then turned into a more secluded small valley.Daiyu is here, holding a flower hoe in her hand, working with her back to Bo Yang.Beside her, there are two silk bags scattered.

Seeing this scene, Bo Yang immediately knew what she was doing.

Funeral flowers.

If you want to ask people who don't know the plot well about the Red Mansion and Daiyu's impression, maybe most of them will give two answers: tears and funeral flowers. This has almost become her personal mark. Two words, must be able to think of.

Bo Yang stood at the entrance of the valley and looked at it for a while, then quietly took a few steps back to hide his body, so that Daiyu would not notice his presence.At least at this moment, he felt that it was inappropriate to disturb the other party.

This is indeed his negligence.

If dying of tears is Daiyu's fate, then it is actually her own character that drives her towards this fate.

Delicate, sensitive, and passionate, he is exploring and thinking about foreign objects, others, and himself almost all the time.This kind of character destined her to be brilliant, and also destined her to be in conflict with the world.Throughout the ages, many literati have come to an end in this kind of contradiction and pain.Previously, Bo Yang only wanted to let her jump out of the so-called fate, but he forgot that it was difficult for her to follow the common trend.

After all, she is different from herself.Bo Yang himself can compromise with the reality and blend into it, but Daiyu can't.At this time, the atmosphere of the temple may not be a good thing for her, because with her character, if she is not careful, she may really see through the world.

I still have to take him back, Bo Yang thought.

As for what the Jia family would think?Who cares about him!Anyway, the so-called relationship between relatives is probably bad when the marriage fails.But now the Jia family didn't dare to offend the Xue family casually, even if they knew Daiyu was here, they couldn't come to make an argument.

But in order to let Daiyu accept living here, Bo Yang found many reasons, but now he has to talk back, and he is very worried.

Bo Yang somehow knew that both Baochai and Daiyu regarded themselves as very trustworthy older brothers, the kind who could be entrusted to them no matter what they had.So... how to persuade Daiyu so as not to affect the image of her elder brother in the other party's eyes?

When Daiyu finished burying the flowers and came out, Bo Yang still hadn't figured out what to say.

Daiyu, on the other hand, was very surprised when she saw him, "Why is Brother Yang here?" After moving out of Jia's house, she began to address Bo Yang in the same way as Baochai.

Bo Yang said, "Come and see you." Then he looked at her, "What are you doing?"

Just now he only saw a figure from the back, he hadn't noticed yet that what Daiyu was wearing was not his own homely clothes, but the uniform robes of the nuns in the monastery, her hair was also wrapped up, she looked very clean, not at all like a lady look like.

Bo Yang frowned secretly in his heart, thinking that he should put on the clothes in the temple now, if it takes longer, maybe what he is holding in his hand is a Buddhist scripture, if it takes a little longer... He took a breath and interrupted My own thoughts, said, "I can hardly recognize her dressed like this."

Daiyu looked down at herself and smiled, "I saw these petals fell on the ground. I was afraid that people would trample on them, so I thought about sweeping them up, putting them in a silk bag and burying them. I wear my own clothes to do these things." It was inconvenient, so I changed it to this."

Bo Yang said, "You have a heart. It's just how did you think of doing this?"

"I think these flowers fall elsewhere, so they will inevitably be ruined. If they are buried, they will melt with the soil after a long time. Are they unclean?" Daiyu said.

Bo Yang shook his head, "Not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Not to mention such a large forest, flowers are falling day and night, it is inexhaustible..." He saw Daiyu opened his mouth to speak, and smiled, "I know what you want to say, but with a little effort, you can sweep away the flowers." Part of it is also good. But this is not what I want to say. Don’t you hear that ‘Luohong is not a ruthless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers’? You know that this flower will turn into dust in the end. Whether you sweep it or not, you can bury it. What's the difference between burying it and not burying it?"

"Luohong is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers." Daiyu read this poem once, and was stunned by it.

Bo Yang was stunned for a moment before he realized that, according to the time when "Dream of Red Mansions" was created, there was no such poem at that time.So the people in the book naturally don't know it by default.No wonder Daiyu stopped listening as soon as she heard it.For her, after hearing such a warning, it will leave some feelings in her heart.

"This poem is really well written." After a while, Daiyu turned around and said softly, "I am so ignorant that I have never heard of it. I wonder who wrote this poem?"

"I also saw by chance that the author had long been forgotten, and I just remembered it just now." Bo Yang scratched his head and said.

Daiyu nodded, didn't care, thought for a while, and said, "I'm doing too much. Brother Yang is right, this flower should turn into dust and stay where it is, so that it can be used to protect the newborn in the next year." Flowers. I buried them, but they are useless."

"That's not necessarily the case." Bo Yang smiled and glanced into the valley, "This valley is full of fresh greenery, and the vegetation is rich. I think there will be a lot of wild flowers in bloom when the season comes. Your flowers are buried here. It's the same. Huhua?"

Daiyu looked over and couldn't help laughing.

She was originally born with an outstanding appearance, but at this moment she was happy from the bottom of her heart, such a smile was just like a spring flower blooming, although she was dressed in a kudzu cloth skirt, it could not hide its radiant brilliance.

Bo Yang noticed that her expression was much lighter than before, as if she had taken off some restraint, she must have thought it through thoroughly.
