[Red Mansion Qing Chuan] Lin Siye Marries a Daughter

But it is said that Daiyu followed Jia Lian back home along the waterway. The autumn was high and the air was crisp, and the water and wind were smooth all the way, and she soon arrived in the Jianghuai area.

The night at Changlingdu is lively, the shops on the shore are brightly lit, people come and go, and the lewd songs of singers are heard from time to time from the boats that pass leisurely.

Zijuan came into the cabin carrying a bowl of gruel and a few side dishes: "Girl, I asked them to cook some porridge, drink it while it's hot." Daiyu put down the book in her hand and glanced out: "Zijuan , Lian's second brother is not on board."

Nodding, Zijuan placed the food and said: "I don't know where to go to have fun. There is a second grandmother in the house to take care of it. Now that I come out, I still don't..." Wake up, Zijuan stopped: " Girl, let's eat first."

Daiyu said: "Zicuckoo, it's not that I'm worried, I always feel that since the second brother Lian got to know that Lord Zhen, he just... Fortunately, he will arrive in Yangzhou tomorrow. Alas, I don't know how Daddy's illness is."

"Young lady, don't worry. If my aunt sees the girl going back, if I am happy, I may recover from my illness."

"You little hoof, you can speak nicely."

Zijuan smiled and said: "Zijuan is telling the truth, can my aunt be unhappy when she sees that the girl has grown up?" Zijuan handed over tea and said: "Girl, there is no wind tonight, go to the deck to get some air. Bar."

"It's okay, I'm bored in the cabin all day, and I always feel weak." Standing up, Daiyu said again: "By the way, where is the snow goose." We went ashore together."

"This snow goose, when it gets close to the south of the Yangtze River, becomes arrogant, and now it dares to get off the boat secretly."

Zijuan smiled and said: "I will come back later, the girl will teach me a lesson."

"I'm not here, who speaks ill of me behind my back." The curtain was lifted, and Xue Yan walked in with a smile: "Sister Zijuan, I heard it all, you are not allowed to deny it."

Zijuan looked at Xueyan and said with a smile, "Tell me first whether you have disembarked." Xueyan nodded, "Yes." "That's it, I didn't frame you." Said: "Miss Judgment, is that the case?"

Daiyu was provoked by the bickering of the two girls: "Okay, don't be joking, don't you want to go out and get some air?"

The full moon in the eastern sky was like a disk, and Daiyu suddenly remembered: "In a few days, it will be the Ghost Festival, Xueyan, do you still remember the scene when we were young and put out the lanterns?"

"Of course I remember, I haven't let it go in these years." Xueyan's tone seemed a little unfair.Zijuan said empathetically: "Maybe the old lady is worried that the girls are too young to take good care of them when they go out."

"When I was in Yangzhou, the girl was still young and not well."

Zijuan tugged on Daiyu's sleeve, and said with a smile, "Listen, girl, the snow geese will not forgive me before I reach Yangzhou."

Xueyan clapped her hands lightly: "Sister Zijuan, you have already sued me twice today, if I don't tickle you, wouldn't I..." Walking up with a smile, Xueyan stretched out her hand and scratched.

The two chattered happily, leaving Daiyu in the cold, and shook her head with a smile. Daiyu walked slowly to the bow of the boat, and saw the crowded boats moored at the ferry, and the lights were shining.

A burst of noise drifted over with the wind, and Daiyu saw that the boat on the right side was brightly lit, and the sheng music was melodious, with Jia Lian's correct Beijing accent and the charming laughter of the singer from time to time.

Thinking of Zijuan's words just now, Daiyu sighed secretly, and just about to turn around, she accidentally glanced at the opposite warehouse, a figure was probing there, as if looking for something, under the dim light, the sensitive Daiyu I have an intuition that that person must be...

Startled in her heart, the wooden carving in Daiyu's hand fell into the river inadvertently, and a gaze looked over from the opposite side, and the four eyes met. Even through the night, the clear and sharp gaze of that person reminded Daiyu of a word: "hole bright."

Like the waves of a quiet lake, transparent and clear, like the water in a deep well, deep and quiet.

For some reason, neither of them made a sound, but for a moment, the man withdrew his gaze, stood up straight and closed the door of the warehouse as if no one was there, flicked the dust off his hands, and left in a calm manner.

From beginning to end, calm and uncluttered, elegant and comfortable.

Daiyu who reacted was shocked, but at the same time she felt a little admiration. Being a thief can act like no one else is around, and I am afraid that not everyone can do it.

"Girl, what are you looking at?" Zijuan and Xueyan approached and asked in unison. "It's nothing." Daiyu turned around in a concealed manner, feeling guilty: "Second Brother Lian is on that boat."

Xueyan leaned over to look over there, and twitched the corner of her mouth: "On weekdays, the second grandma is watching, and the second master can restrain himself a little bit. Now the second grandma is beyond her reach, so naturally..."

"Keep your voice down." Zijuan pointed over there: "Be careful to let others hear you." "Since you dare to do it, don't be afraid of people talking about it. No one in the house knows who." Zijuan looked at Daiyu helplessly: "Girl, you Listen, this little hoof of Xueyan is getting more and more..."

"Crazy." Daiyu said bitterly, "Although I'm not in the mansion, but what I told you before, be careful what you say."

"Zicuckoo, what are you doing there, be careful not to let the girl catch the cold." Aunt Shan walked up waddlingly: "Girl, it's better to go back to the cabin, although it's not cold today, but the night is cool, when the old lady, The second mistress has given thousands of instructions, and must take good care of the girl."

Zijuan smiled and said: "What mother said is that we are going back." Aunt Shan seemed not reconciled, and said again: "You little girls, you know how to tease girls to play, and you don't even look at what this is. place……"

This Shan aunt is a winking master in the mansion. She runs errands and does odd jobs with Zhou Rui's family, and she gets a lot of money. This time when Daiyu returned home, she originally planned to ask Nanny Wang to follow her to take a look. Ill, let her follow.

Behind their backs, Zijuan and Xueyan once murmured, wondering whether it was the old lady's idea or the wife's, anyway they couldn't be provoked or hidden, so the journey was quite peaceful.

"Mom's lesson is that it's all our fault." Zijuan said articulately: "Mom has been tired these days." It's not..." Realizing that she had slipped her tongue, Aunt Shan hurriedly changed the topic: "You don't know, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, so I came out to breathe, but I saw the boat opposite..."

Pretending to point mysteriously, Aunt Shan said in a low voice: "It took a full half an hour to carry a bag of grain, and finally even our boat was full. It really is a rich and powerful merchant. No wonder how much money he wants. The way he looks like, when you raise your hand, you will be rewarded with half a silver coin."

"Mom, our boat also..." Thinking of the man's actions just now, Daiyu suddenly felt a little inexplicable: "How could Second Brother Lian do this."

Aunt Shan's bulging eyes rolled: "Our boat is empty even if it is empty. Besides, the girl is a smart person. Can the second master get luck in vain?"

Seeing that Mrs. Shan's words became more and more unreasonable, Zijuan said cleverly: "Mom, I've been out for a while, and the girl is also tired. If Mom is fine, come and have a cup of tea in our cabin."

"No, no need." Aunt Shan said with a smile: "Girl, take a good rest, you will arrive at the Lin Mansion tomorrow, you should be in good spirits, so that my aunt will be happy, too."

Aunt Shan walked a few steps, and said with a lot of thought: "Aunt Liu in the house and I still know each other, I never thought we would see each other again in nearly 20 years."

Back in the cabin, Zicuckoo looked out: "Amitabha, if we hadn't left, I don't know how long we would have been nagging, and we have the nerve to criticize us."

"Okay, you still talk about others, aren't you also nagging." Daiyu gave Zijuan a white look: "Quickly rest."

Daiyu was originally a delicate person, but Aunt Shan's words made her sensitive heart always feel that there was something wrong, but she couldn't say it out, and coupled with her eagerness to see her father, Daiyu tossed and turned that night, unable to sleep.

There was an indistinct drumming sound from a distance, and Daiyu quietly got dressed, and Zijuan muttered: "Girl, it's still early in the morning." "You lazy girl, you have knocked on the fourth watch..." Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside, and someone shouted faintly, "Over there."

The master and servant looked at each other, and before they could react, they heard a "crack", and the cabin door opened without pushing, and then a figure stepped back quietly, closing the door behind them.

The man behaved like no one else, as if he had just been out for a while.Turning around, the visitor didn't seem to expect that there was someone in the outer cabin, and he was standing there fully dressed.

He was stunned for a moment, and then the man regained his composure.

"Women in the boudoir have the most reputation. If you don't mind, then you can call." The man calmly glanced at Daiyu and Zijuan with a pair of piercing eyes, and then leaned gracefully behind the door, hanging down. He remained silent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Last night, when she met the man's penetrating eyes, Daiyu thought that even if he was not a noble man with profound human feelings, he would be a wise man with insight into the world, but she never expected that the person standing in front of her at this time turned out to be a very young man , and also a good-looking... boy.

If Baoyu's beauty is the warmth of spring and the flowers blooming, then this person is the breeze and the moon: with an elegant and calm look, and a calm demeanor, even if he is dressed as a servant, his calm and composed demeanor is natural.

Human voices and footsteps kept coming, and Zijuan looked at Daiyu at a loss, before she could speak, she saw Xueyan come out of the inner room in a daze: "Girl, what happened, why are you making so much noise?" of."

"Ah..." Before Xueyan could yell out, Daiyu stepped forward to cover her mouth with quick eyes and hands: "Fool, you don't want to live anymore."

Perhaps he didn't expect Daiyu to be so knowledgeable, the man slightly opened his long and narrow phoenix eyes, and looked at Daiyu calmly, a hint of surprise flashed in his calm eyes.

"The girl's surname is Lin." The man spoke in an affirmative tone, and without waiting for Daiyu to reply, he added, "Your father is Lin Hai, the inspector of salt in Yangzhou." Seeing the surprised expressions of Daiyu's master and servant, the man was cold With a smile, the mocking look was obvious: "It really is a piece of fat.
