Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

The song is over.

Daiyu leaned against the railing, looking at the lake, while Liu Dingchuan sat in front of the guqin and didn't get up.

Neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere was inexplicably quiet, but no one wanted to take the initiative to break the silence.

For Liu Dingchuan, the meaning he wants to express is in this song, it is impossible for Daiyu not to understand.That being the case, there is no need to say anything else.Besides, Daiyu is the daughter of the boudoir after all, so it's already out of place for her to entrust lovesickness with her qin, and it would be offensive to say any more.

But Daiyu was flustered and didn't know what to say.

The reason why she was flustered was just the uneasiness and shyness of every young woman after receiving a signal from the opposite sex, and it had nothing to do with affection.But she can't deny that Liu Dingchuan is indeed an excellent person, and if he entrusts him with his life, he is the one who stands above him.There is such a person who admires himself, so naturally he will not be annoying.

However, she knows her own family affairs, and it is extremely difficult to form a good relationship. Even if Liu Dingchuan has the heart, there are still many obstacles ahead, so naturally she dare not agree easily.

You can't agree, and you can't refuse hastily. At this moment, you don't know what to say, so you have to be silent.

The servants stood at a distance, not daring to come near without being ordered.The two people in the pavilion remained silent, each lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, a gust of wind blew from the lake, mixed with the chilly spring, waking them up.Liu Dingchuan hurriedly wanted to stand up, but when he was playing the piano, he was kneeling and sitting. After a long time, his legs naturally became numb.I didn't realize that I had something on my mind before, but now I was about to stand up, only to realize that my legs were numb and painful, and I fell back to sit down again, and accidentally touched the guqin in front of me, making a clanking sound.

Daiyu heard movement behind her, turned her head, and saw this scene just in time.

"Is Mr. Liu okay?" She thought for a while, but suppressed a smile, and greeted him.

Liu Dingchuan was extremely embarrassed, and quickly shook his head, "Ms. Lin laughed."

Daiyu originally held back her smile, but after hearing what he said, she wanted to laugh again.She is never willing to let others be articulate and make fun of others.If you are an acquaintance, you must make a few jokes.But Liu Dingchuan is brother's friend, so it's not easy to touch the other's face, so he can only hold back his lips.But his brows and eyes were curved, and he still showed a little smile.

Liu Dingchuan raised his eyes, just caught this smile in his eyes, and couldn't help being stunned.

After a while, he came back to his senses, lowered his head with a reddish complexion, and said, "It's cold in spring, I see that the girl is wearing thin clothes, so I don't know if she brought something to keep out the cold, or let the servant girl bring it. It's ready, Miss Lin doesn't mind it, so I'll ask someone to pick it up."

Daiyu said, "Don't dare to work, my girl should have brought it."

Zijuan has been watching Daiyu's body very closely.Especially during the few years when she followed Daiyu, Daiyu's health was deteriorating, whenever she went out, she had to bring everything with her before she could rest assured.Now of course he is wearing a big hairy cloak. Seeing Daiyu's signal, he took the burden and put it on for Daiyu. He sealed the hand stove filled with red charcoal and stuffed it into Daiyu's hand before retreating. .

Liu Dingchuan watched from the side, and couldn't help saying, "Miss Lin is a very neat maid."

Daiyu turned her head and saw that he was clear-sighted, obviously just looking at her face-saving compliment, and didn't pay much attention to Zijuan, so she breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Because of Bo Yang's arrival, many plots have been changed, and Daiyu's fate has changed accordingly.So in the original book, Baoyu watched "Huizhenji" together, and later Baoyu joked with Zijuan, "If you share the mandarin tent with your passionate lady, how can you be willing to fold the quilt and make the bed?" there is none left.

However, Daiyu's nature is naturally very sensitive on such topics.In this era, it is normal for a maid to be a dowry girl next to her, and to serve her son-in-law openly in the future, just like Ping'er by Sister Feng's side.And Liu Dingchuan had just expressed his love for her with the qin music, and now he pays attention to the girls around her, which naturally inevitably arouses Daiyu's suspicion.

Seeing that Liu Dingchuan's expression was normal, it was obvious that he was thinking too much, Daiyu couldn't help feeling ashamed.

She thought she was determined and would not be shaken no matter what happened, so when she talked about her future plans to Bo Yang that day, it seemed that she had completely given up on the marriage.However, now that he just met Liu Dingchuan, the original indifference and firmness seemed to have disappeared, and he was still affected after all.

Thinking of Bo Yang, Daiyu realized that he and Xue Pan seemed to have been separated for a long time.

Knowing that only four people came out, the two of them left, naturally only she and Liu Dingchuan were left.At this time, Daiyu couldn't guess what was going on?Feeling ashamed and annoyed for a while, even the two of them complained.He got himself here for no reason, to be alone with Liu Dingchuan, what's going on?

Thinking about it this way makes me restless.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.Just as Daiyu thought so, she saw Bo Yang and Xue Pan walking towards them from a distance.The two held hands, their attitude was very leisurely.Xue Pan walked a little ahead, turning his head to talk to Bo Yang while walking, his posture was very natural.

There was obviously nothing excessive about it, but for some reason Daiyu felt a sense of "see no evil", and hurriedly looked away.

Liu Dingchuan also saw the two, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Bai and Brother Xue are really close."

Judging from his tone, it is obvious that what he appreciates is not the brotherhood between the two.I'm afraid I already know what I should know.Daiyu was about to open her mouth to defend the two of them, but she didn't know what to say, so she nodded dumbly and said nothing.

Now that Bo Yang and Xue Pan are back, Liu Dingchuan's chance will naturally come to an end.But he didn't seem to be doing anything other than playing the piano, Liu Dingchuan couldn't help but feel uneasy.He thought for a while and said, "Since I was a child, I don't know how many people who want to befriend the Liu family want to propose marriage for me. My mother always said that I am still young and I am not in a hurry. I will be crowned this year, and a family that is about my age Young master, most of them have wives and concubines in groups, and even have sons and daughters under their knees. But my mother never urged me, and I never envied me, Miss Lin, do you know why?"

"Why?" Daiyu asked.

Liu Dingchuan said, "Because my maternal grandmother is Princess Dingguo, and my mother is Princess Qinghe."

As he spoke, he smiled slightly at Daiyu, then stood up, and greeted Bo Yang and Xue Pan.

Daiyu stayed on the spot alone, bowed her head and pondered for a while before realizing what Liu Dingchuan wanted to express.

The most talked about story of Princess Dingguo is not the experience of following the Tai/zu to fight in the north and south before she got married, but after she got married, she abandoned the etiquette and did not live in the princess mansion according to the rules, but instead lived like an ordinary woman. People generally live in their husband's house, serve their parents-in-law, and teach their husbands and daughters.What she did touched the son-in-law, and the two of them loved each other very much after marriage, even if there was only Princess Qinghe and a daughter, the son-in-law would never accept concubines for life.

Princess Qinghe inherited her mother's temper and disposition, and her husband-in-law, Liu Dingchuan's father, was chosen by herself that day.At that time, Princess Dingguo was still there, but she did not stay with her mother after she got married, but went to Jiangzhou far away.Afterwards, although the distance was far away, all kinds of anecdotes about her in Liu's family often spread to Beijing.Rumor has it that she and her husband-in-law are also very affectionate, not inferior to Princess Ding and her son-in-law back then.

The matter of the mother and daughter is a good story that many people in the capital know.

Although most ladies are limited by their status and cannot choose their own lives like them, they are all listed as female models and deeply yearn for them. , So Liu Dingchuan told her that he was born in such a family and had great autonomy in choosing his wife. If he valued it, Princess Qinghe would not obstruct it too much.At the same time, it also reminds Daiyu how lucky she is to have the protection of an elder brother like Bo Yang, she can choose her future affairs, and she should not let her down.

In addition, it may not imply that the two are just right.After all, in today's world, there are not many people who can be as free as the two of them.It is a blessing to meet one. If you miss it, you may not be able to meet the second one.

There are so many layers of meaning, it seems that Daiyu only has his choice.

However, if it is said that Daiyu's heart is not moved, it is naturally impossible.Everyone who knows her can guess a little bit of what is on her mind, but apart from Bai Yang, the only one who can explain it so clearly is Liu Dingchuan.Daiyu regards Bai Yang as a real elder brother, and it is not surprising that the two of them have been together for a long time, he has only met Liu Dingchuan a few times, and they are casual acquaintances, but it is very rare for him to be so close to what she thinks in his heart.

What Daiyu wanted in her life was nothing more than a confidant.

In the past, this infatuation was placed on Baoyu, and when she took it back, she was so painful that she didn't want to continue.However, with her nature, she puts more emphasis on spirit than matter, and she is sentimental and susceptible. How can she cut off the worldly troubles by simply cutting them off?

Their respective goals have been achieved, so they did not continue to stay outside the city for a long time, but chose to return.

Back home, Daiyu deliberately didn't talk to Bo Yang, and went to her own residence.Bo Yang originally wanted to ask her, but considering that she is a thin-skinned girl, it's better to take it easy.

Unexpectedly, Daiyu returned to normal the next day.Facing him with the same smile and smile, Bo Yang hesitated again and again, but still brought up this topic.

"Did my sister annoy me?" He asked.

Daiyu said, "Brother Yang is too confused! Even if you are a friend who knows everything, after all... it is not appropriate." She was too embarrassed to mention it directly, and passed it vaguely.

"I also know." Bo Yang said, "But the matter of life depends only on oneself. I have said the same thing to you before. The world is hard and everyone knows it. If we want to talk about marriage, we should naturally be people with the same heart. Support each other. But people with the same heart will not fall from the sky by themselves, you have to find them by yourself. Although you are a woman, I will not restrain you, and you will not restrain yourself, who will say?"

Daiyu bowed her head in silence.Bo Yang guessed that she was embarrassed, so he said, "You have seen him too. Although I don't know what he said, but the meaning must have been expressed. If that's the case, it depends on Sister Lin's mind. If you don't want to see He, I'll go back for you, and send you back to Yangzhou. Brother Liu is so bright and beautiful, you don't want to get entangled. If you think you can get along for a while, then stay here and let nature take its course. "

Only then did Daiyu raise her head, and said, "Brother Yang, this is crazy talk again. Whether you agree or not, how can we see him again in the future?"

If they agree, the two of them will naturally have a verbal engagement, and they will only wait for three matchmakers and six employments.During this period, it is not suitable for unmarried men and women to meet each other.And if they refuse, they will be ashamed of each other, so why bother to see each other again?

Bo Yang thought about these words for a while, and then he understood a little, and said with a smile, "Then stay here for now, and don't agree or refuse, how about it?"

Daiyu turned her affectionate eyes slightly, then lowered her head again.

Bo Yang loved her appearance very much.In his opinion, Lin Daiyu should be like this, smart and clever, a little mischievous but never annoying, every word, deed, and every action is a sight, so that people can immediately understand what it means to be lively and fragrant.
