[Red Mansion Qing Chuan] Lin Siye Marries a Daughter

The night wind suddenly blew open the window that was not closed tightly, and the gloomy wind rushed in instantly. Aunt Shan looked at the dark surroundings, shaking with fright.

The door opened slowly with a "squeak", but there was no one there. Seeing the eerie open door, Aunt Shan almost fainted. "Mom, mom." Cuiqiao's voice was ethereal and gloomy.

"Auntie." Aunt Shan opened her eyes and looked around: "Auntie, why are you here? Aren't you in the firewood room?" Standing in front of the window, she was dressed in white and her hair was disheveled.

"Ah." Aunt Shan screamed, and woke up suddenly, only to see that there was nothing in the room, but outside, the moonlight had already faded, and the sky was about to dawn.

Caressing her thumping chest, Aunt Shan said to herself, "Fortunately, it turned out to be a dream, but it was too scary." Just about to lie down, Aunt Shan suddenly remembered that old people often say that before dawn, Dreams are all real, and I was stunned for a while.

After finally dawning, Aunt Shan called a maid to accompany her, and walked to the woodshed. When she opened the door, she saw Cuiqiao lying quietly on the ground, her eyes wide open, and the blood on the corner of her mouth had already dried up.

With a "pop", the cup in Daiyu's hand fell to the ground: "How could it be like this?" Zijuan bent over to tidy up and said, "Girl, don't blame yourself, maybe it's because my aunt couldn't think about it for a while...Zijuan knew The girl has done her best."

With a sigh, Daiyu said softly: "I never thought that Auntie would take this step." Xueyan said from the side: "Yes, with Aunt Liu's temperament, I would never have thought that she would commit suicide by taking poison. If it is Aunt Mao I still believe it.”

Glancing at Xueyan, Zijuan said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you think the house is not chaotic." Xueyan whispered: "I'm just talking."

"Zicuckoo, come with me to have a look, no matter what, Auntie is still a member of the mansion, not to mention that there is a mother."

In Lin Hai's room, upon hearing the news, Lin Hai just paused slightly: "She's kind of funny." He continued to drink the porridge, without any fluctuation on his thin and calm face.

When Daiyu went to the woodshed, Lin Geng had already ordered someone to wrap Cuiqiao up: "Girl, the master said that the grievances will disappear after death, and Aunt Liu was buried according to the rules of the house."

"I wanted to talk to daddy about this. Since daddy has already ordered it, then Uncle Lin will arrange it." Lin Geng looked back at the firewood room, and said, "Miss, go back, it's bad luck here."

Just as Dai Yu was about to turn around and leave, she saw Aunt Mao walking slowly, holding the hand of the servant girl. The wind blew her light-colored long skirt, making her look even thinner and more lonely.

"Auntie, you are here too." Daiyu looked at Aunt Mao, "I never thought she would take this step."

Aunt Mao's expression was very calm, she looked at the servant who was tidying up with her slender eyebrows: "Girl, if I say that I don't care about Cuiqiao's frame, even I feel hypocritical, the reason why I came today is not to say I have already forgiven her, but I feel that we are sisters and we have been together for so many years, so come here to see her off."

"Auntie has this kind of heart, I believe that Auntie Liu will be gratified under the nine springs." Aunt Mao smiled wryly, and said quietly: "She hates me to the bone, so how can she be happy?" After a pause, Aunt Mao continued Said: "Miss, go back quickly, the girl is not married yet, a girl's family is rarely exposed to such bad luck, Zijuan, remember to serve the girl to take a bath and incense to get rid of the bad luck."

Zijuan hurriedly said: "Thank you, aunt, for reminding me. I remember." Daiyu also said: "My aunt, go back too. Your illness is just right. The autumn morning is cool, so be careful."

Aunt Mao smiled and said: "Then let's go back together, I was also going to sit with the girl, since the girl came back, a lot of things happened in the house, and I didn't have a good chat with the girl."

Daiyu said softly: "Okay, I was thinking about going to see my aunt someday."

"Then we thought of a piece." Aunt Mao said softly: "It seems that some habits will not change even after many years. I remember that the girl liked to cling to Madam when she was a child. Every time she came back from outside, she would go to Madam's place. Let's talk."

"Yes." Daiyu said leisurely: "It's a pity that now... only my aunt can listen to me." "As long as the girl is willing, she can come to me when she is free."

"it is good."

When Jia Lian left, when Daiyu looked at the far away curtain sail, she couldn't help but shed tears. People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? After all, they lived there for five years, and Baoyu's words before leaving came to my ears:

"Sister Lin, go early and come back early." "Sister Lin, when I have something interesting, I'll keep it for you." "Sister Lin, no matter what happens, don't forget to take your medicine, and don't be too sad." "Sister Lin, I'll wait for you to come back and play together."

Lin Hai looked at the vast river, and said slowly: "Yu'er, your surname is Lin, no matter how far you go, this is your home."

The wind in the river was rustling, and Daiyu's dress was blowing. Lin Hai didn't make a sound, but just quietly looked at the endless river. When Daiyu wiped away her tears and turned her head, her eyes were clear: "Daddy, let's go home!" Bar."

Stretching out his hand, although Lin Hai still had that calm expression, there was more relief in his eyes: "Go, Daddy will take you home."

The autumn colors are getting thicker and thicker, and the long scent of cinnamon brushes through the nose from time to time, diluting the desolation in the courtyard.

"Girl, you said that the imperial palace is really as scary as Nanny Meng said, don't the ladies live in fear every day." Zijuan flicked the dust on the wooden bench, and spread the veil carefully, and finally Let Daiyu sit down.

"I'm reading history books these days. Which dynasty in history was not bloody, bloody, brothers turned against each other, and the women in the harem were just pawns on the chessboard of the previous dynasty, and life and death were just words. thing."

Zijuan said in horror: "In the mansion before, everyone privately envied that your mother is a blessed person. If you know this, you might as well be a maid."

"A girl without ambition." Daiyu laughed and teased: "'One person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven', if you don't see the concubine concubine of the eldest sister, the old lady wrote a letter, saying that she will build a relative's house, and wait for the empress to come back. Time to rest."

The corner of Zijuan's mouth twitched: "Your Majesty can come back several times a year, and the yard is not empty when it is built." Daiyu looked down at Jingui in front of her: "It's none of your business what you worry about, by the way. , Zijuan, although Nanny Meng has just arrived, she has been in the palace for many years, and she must have a way of dealing with people and things. You and Xueyan must look at each other in the future, and don't make Nanny Meng angry, otherwise you will be overwhelmed. .”

Zijuan smiled and said: "The girl also said that on the first day Mammy came, I poured water all over her body, but Mammy didn't get angry at all, but came to comfort me instead, I don't believe Mammy..."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Silly girl, I'm also saying that since she is the one chosen by daddy, she can't be wrong." If you want to talk about Nanny Meng, it's really hard for the master to think about it. In fact, when the old lady instructed Zijuan, she once said that the girl is growing up slowly. If she stays in the mansion, there will be no serious people in the mansion. The mistress of the Eight Classics, and the master is a man, and the girl has no one to discuss many things, so Zijuan was asked to persuade the girl to go back. At that time, Zijuan thought what the old lady said was very reasonable, so..."

Zijuan took a calm look at Daiyu: "Girl, to be honest, although Zijuan agreed to stay, she was still worried. I didn't expect that the master had planned a long time ago, and he even called Nanny Meng."

"You little hoof, worry about nothing." Although Daiyu said this, she was still a little moved in her heart: "No matter what, this is always my home. Of course I want to stay, and besides, there is Daddy."

Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course, with such a caring father as Master, it's right for the girl to stay, but, the girl is always going to get married, so how can she stay in this mansion for a lifetime?"

Daiyu swung her handkerchief over: "You girl, you don't have a serious word in your mouth, see if I don't tear your mouth apart." "Miss, please forgive me, Zijuan will never..."

"Girl, Zijuan, what are you talking about so happy." A mother in her 40s walked over with a smile. She has a moderate figure and a fair appearance, especially those eyes, which make people look sharp and sharp. Master.

"Mother is here." Daiyu and Zijuan greeted in unison, and Mother Meng smiled and said, "Is it just a coincidence that I came?" Daiyu smiled subtly, "What did you say, Zijuan and I are fine?" Come out, and rest here when you get tired."

Zijuan respected Nanny Meng because of splashing water: "Mommy, come and sit down, I was still dealing with the girl and mom just now." "Really." Talk bad about me."

"No way, the girl and I are praising Mammy." Zijuan said with a smile, "Mommy knows so many things, it's too late for us to be envious." Mammy Meng's expression darkened, and she sighed: "You are still young , If you have less experience, you will naturally know less, and when you see more in the future, you will not be envious."

Looking at Daiyu, Mother Meng said: "Speaking of which, the most blessed girl here should be the girl who has her own home and is protected by her father. When she grows up, she will be protected by her son-in-law. The husband and wife are loving. How wonderful. "

Seeing Daiyu's face flushed with shame, Zijuan couldn't help but smiled and said, "Don't talk about it, mother, you can see that the girl's face is red." It's dumb."

Zijuan made a helpless look, and Mother Meng smiled: "Girl, don't be ashamed, it's a matter of time, I have lived most of my life, and I have seen too many women's experiences, this woman, no matter who you marry , only the person who puts you in his heart is worth marrying, and it doesn't matter what his identity is..."

Smiling, Mother Meng said: "That's why I said that the girl will not be wronged in the future."

Zijuan responded: "Yes, what the mother said is that the girl is such a good person, the future son-in-law will definitely..."

"Your hoof, the more you talk, the less serious you are." Daiyu scolded Zijuan resentfully, then turned her head and said to Momo Lei, "Why did Momo leave the palace?" Momo Meng was startled, Seeing this, Daiyu said, "It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, I'm just curious."

Mother Meng resumed her smile again: "Girl, you are overwhelmed. A few years ago, I suddenly fell into a serious illness and almost died. The person in charge of the palace is my fellow villager, so someone sent me out. Who knew what would happen?" I didn’t die, but I actually came back to life, and I happened to hear that the mansion invited someone, so I came here.”

"If you survive a catastrophe, you must have a future blessing, and Mammy is also a blessed one." Daiyu's eyes were so watery that Mammy Meng couldn't help but turn her face: "I hope I can borrow the girl's good words. I hope to serve my master well, and I can rest when I return to my hometown in the future."

"Isn't Mammy's hometown in Yangzhou?" Daiyu looked up at Mammy Lei curiously, "I thought..." Mammy Lei smiled and covered it up, "I was borrowing at my cousin's house."

"That's how it is." As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, Xueyan came over, leaned over and said to Daiyu in a low voice: "Miss, when I was delivering something to the housekeeper, I saw that Mr. Chu, he I was talking to the master, but the master seemed a little angry."

Daiyu stroked her hair subconsciously, and said in a low voice: "He's gone." "What's the matter with you, girl?" Seeing Daiyu's unnatural expression, Zijuan hurriedly asked: "Is something wrong? .”

"No, no." Daiyu shook her head: "I just thought of something suddenly, I want to go back and have a look." Lei Momo smiled and said: "Although the girl is not very old, she is reassuring when she does things. I'm not boasting, the girl will be very expensive in the future."

"Mommy is too flattering." Daiyu responded with a smile: "Mommy rest, I'll go first." After speaking, she called Zijuan and Xueyan and left in a hurry.

Watching Daiyu leave quietly, Mammy Lei's thin mouth curled into a meaningful smile.

Zijuan looked at the absent-minded Daiyu who was walking ahead, and couldn't help but look at Xueyan beside him: "What did you say to the girl?" Xueyan shook her head: "I didn't say anything, I just told the girl that Chu, who will report all flaws The young master is talking to the master in the front yard, and the master seems a little unhappy."

Zijuan looked at Daiyu suspiciously, and said in a low voice, "Girl, where are we going?" After letting out a breath, Daiyu gradually calmed down. When she heard Ning Chu coming, the first thing Daiyu thought of was Regarding the matter of the monastery, the words from that day are still in my ears: "The jade hairpin of the Lin family is now in my hands. If you tell others what happened just now, I will take out the hairpin. I believe that in Yangzhou officialdom, there are many people waiting to see Lin's jade hairpin. Yushi's joke, sometimes a woman's reputation is more important than her life."

But along the way, Daiyu thought of Ning Chu's personality. If he really wanted to threaten Lin Hai with the hairpin, he would not come here in person. What about today...

After thinking for a while, Daiyu said to Xueyan: "Xueyan, you go to the front yard and watch. After that Mr. Chu leaves, come back and tell me." Meal."

Zijuan helped Daiyu to sit down: "Girl, what happened? Why does the girl seem a little scared when she hears that Mr. Chu is coming?"

"Really." Daiyu stroked her face: "Zicuckoo, you're overthinking, I'm just worried about Daddy, Chu...he seems to have a prejudice against Daddy, and many things that happened recently are related to him, He came today, I don’t know if he..."

Zijuan glanced at Daiyu, and handed over the handkerchief: "Actually, Zijuan, to be honest, I don't think Mr. Chu seems to have any malicious intentions. Back then, there was an embroidery village outside the city. If it wasn't for his help, girl... ..."

"What do you know?" Daiyu interrupted Zijuan: "He is such a simple person, what exactly does he want to do when he comes here today..."
