The Red Mansion Becomes Lin Daiyu

The weather was gloomy, and the outside was covered in silver.Lin Daiyu put on a fiery red coat and strolled among the plum trees.The fiery red cloak reflects the pink and white plum blossoms, which move slowly, forming a natural scene of the plum garden.

Two years later, Lin Daiyu has grown into a graceful girl.The sharp chin, delicate cheeks, fluffy skin, and a pair of smart eyes make people feel happy.The snowflakes were still floating sporadically, brushing across her cheeks like a child, and naughtily burrowing into her clothes.Lin Daiyu wrapped herself in the feather fur, and walked slowly among the snow-like plum trees.

She was a southerner in her previous life, and it can be said that she had never seen snow in her 20s.It was said in the book that snowflakes are regular hexagons. She stretched out her palm and took one piece. Seeing the snowflakes gradually melting in her palm, she couldn't help but sneered, huh, it doesn't seem to be the case at all!

For plum, Daiyu has always had a special emotion in her heart. The solemn and cold winter is the season when all flowers and plants wither, but only plum blossom is proudly independent.Not only that, but it can bloom so lushly, with a fragrant fragrance, which seems to bring hope to people.

Lin Daiyu still remembers the shock when she saw plum blossoms blooming proudly in the cold winter for the first time. She remembers that it was during the winter vacation of the second year of junior high school, when she traveled to the north with her parents, she accidentally saw a plum grove and rushed in. .Being in a sea of ​​flowers, she has never felt so relaxed and happy.A large piece of fresh and delicate fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose with the breath. The plum blossoms in the garden are as red as fire, white as snow, and pink as crimson. With a leisurely fragrance, people can't bear to leave.

After coming to ancient times, she specially opened up a yard in the mansion to plant plum blossoms.The plum tree that has been improved in space is much stronger than the modern carefully cultivated ones. The old branches fall and new branches grow quickly, and basically last for a long time in winter.

Lin Daiyu walks alone in the plum grove in a fiery red long fur, sometimes cheerful and sometimes quiet.At this time, she was leaning in front of a branch of white plum blossoms to sniff the faint fragrance, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was enjoying it.Against the background of the snow-white plum blossoms, the peach blossom-like pink cheeks look even more fresh and pleasant, like a plum blossom fairy who has fallen into the mortal world by mistake. If there are still people here, they will be surprised at the freshness and refinement of the girl in front of them!

This is what Shui Rui saw at the moment.With the support of his father and the help of Lin Ruhai in the past few years, he has established a foothold in the court, even those older brothers who have been in the court for many years can't hold a candle to him.Back then, Master Lin's teachings had always benefited him a lot, so he always regarded Master Lin as a teacher.Today I came to the Lin Mansion to ask Mr. Lin some questions, but after knowing that Mr. Lin was not there, I wanted to visit the Lin Mansion. I didn't have the extravagant hope of seeing Sister Daiyu.

He came to the plum garden following a faint fragrance, but he didn't expect to meet the person he had been thinking about day and night.The plum blossoms are fragrant in the distance, and the fiery red figure echoes the plum blossoms, like a dream, and this scene makes him a little crazy.

Lin Daiyu seemed to have sensed his coming, she opened her eyes tremblingly, and said with a slight smile, "Brother Rui, why are you here?" Sleeves, doubts in my heart: what happened to the Eighth Prince today?

Shui Rui is still immersed in Lin Daiyu's smile, it's not the first time he saw Lin Daiyu smiling, but this time the smile made his heart tremble uncontrollably, she stood in the plum forest, so noble, so graceful, Like a fairy who fell into the mortal world by mistake, she can go away at any time.The corners of the mouth were slightly raised and curved into a beautiful arc, and the eyes were also brightened, shimmering with a faint light, which compared with the stars in the sky!For such a beautiful woman, he felt a little ashamed of himself, it was in vain that he always regarded himself as a dragon and a phoenix, and felt that he was nothing but a speck of dust in front of sister Daiyu.Shui Rui sighed incredulously, he has been planted in her hands in this life, but he is happy with it, isn't he?

Feeling his sleeve being pulled, Shui Rui hurriedly cleared up his flustered mood and said, "I came to ask Mr. Lin some questions, but the servants said that Mr. Lin was not here, so they planned to stroll around your mansion and wait for Mr. Lin. When my lord came back, I didn't expect to meet sister Daiyu here, is sister Daiyu admiring plum blossoms?"

"Yeah, I didn't know that Brother Rui was here, but I, my younger sister, have neglected me!" Lin Daiyu said with a slight salute.After staying in ancient times for a few years, Lin Daiyu has a deep understanding of ancient etiquette. Can it be said that China is indeed a country of etiquette? Elders and peers have different etiquette when getting along with different people.However, she really likes these etiquettes that express friendship and mutual respect when getting along with each other. It is the lack of etiquette in modern society that leads to moral failure, ethical disorders, and even many people committing all kinds of evil.I remember that when I was watching ancient TV dramas, I was still very envious of the ancient people’s way of getting along. When friends met, they bowed to each other first, respecting each other and keeping their own private space.

"My sister is serious. I would be rude if I disturbed her. How can I blame my sister?" Shuiri also said a thousand words.

"Hehe" Lin Daiyu chuckled twice, and said mischievously, "Since that's the case, brother Rui, we're even, so don't blame anyone else!"

Shui Rui also nodded with a smile, this little girl is getting more and more playful, especially her slightly sly eyes, which have a different kind of style, as if seeing her childish appearance a few years ago.Shui Rui was taught by Lin Ruhai, and although he would come to the Lin mansion a few times from time to time, the chances of meeting Lin Daiyu were very few. In addition, Lin Ruhai took good care of his daughter, so he could see her twice out of ten times. That's fine.

But every time they met, Shuiri was shocked. Over the past few years, Shuiri watched Lin Daiyu gradually transform from an ignorant little girl (in Shuiri's eyes) into a magnificent young girl.Shui Rui is happy to watch the girl she likes grow from immature to mature. Lin Daiyu is like a gentle trap to her, and every time he meets, he becomes more addicted.Although he knew that he shouldn't let himself fall into such a situation according to his status, but he just couldn't extricate himself and willingly put himself under her leadership.He even sometimes thought that if one day his father found out, it would be fine to revoke his heir status in a fit of anger, as long as he was with her, he didn't care what happened.

"Does sister Daiyu like plum blossoms very much?" Suddenly Shui Rui asked.

"Yes, plum blossoms are charming and refined, not afraid of ice and snow. They are rare flowers in this cold winter. Brother Rui, don't you think these are elegant and refined?" Lin Daiyu asked.

"Uh, yes, it's exactly as my sister said." Shui Rui said, there is also a golden silk plum plant that came as a tribute from a foreign land in his palace, let Xiao Muzi bring it later!but……

"Sister Daiyu wants to enjoy the plum blossoms, why choose a sunny day? The weather is not good today, and sister Daiyu should not stay outside for too long. It will be bad if you get wind and cold." Shui Rui said, although I really want to spend more time with this, but it's still snowing here, and I don't know if her body can bear it.

"Brother Rui, don't worry. I'm wearing a big fur. Besides, it's not snowing too much. I'm in good health. How can I catch the cold so easily?" Lin Daiyu said. Even if it is ten times colder than this, it will not feel the slightest bit of wind and cold.Moreover, the snow was almost as if it hadn't fallen, and after standing for such a long time, it was only a few pieces that fell on his body sporadically.

However, Lin Daiyu is very useful for Shuirui's behavior of caring about her so much, although she was really depressed for a while when she found out that this guy might have some different thoughts about her two years ago.But after thinking about it, he felt relieved, he couldn't control what he thought, so why bother to make himself uncomfortable.And Shui Rui is the friend who has taken care of her the most since she came to ancient times, not one of them.It's impossible not to be moved, sometimes Lin Daiyu thinks that if it wasn't for Shui Rui's identity, maybe she would have accepted him long ago.

Now, considering that Shui Rui is likely to be the heir to the throne in the future, Lin Daiyu really dare not respond to her easily.What she wants is absolute loyalty, and she doesn't want to compete with a group of women in the harem in the future. Isn't that a loss of self-worth?Even if she has a little liking for Shui Rui now, it is far from the level of love.If this kid can't live up to the standard of a lover in her heart, she doesn't mind completely snuffing out this little flame of liking in her heart, and there will never be a chance of resurgence.

Shui Rui took another careful look at Lin Daiyu, and saw that she was indeed wrapped in a thick fur, as she said, and that there was nothing under the snow, and the most important thing was that he wanted to spend more time with her. Not to mention letting her go back to the room.He opened the mouth and said: "The plum blossoms in my sister's mansion are really amazing. I think my sister must be good at this. I wonder if I have the honor to hear my sister introduce these plum blossoms."

"Hehe, Brother Rui wants to hear it, so Daiyu would be more respectful than obedient." Lin Daiyu gave a slight salute and then stepped into the plum forest, followed by Shui Rui.

"The plum blossoms in this garden are carefully cultivated by me, so they bloom more vigorously than other places." Lin Daiyu said, in fact, they are more than flourishing. There are a few branches, but the direct layers in this garden make people unbearable to look directly at, and even some branches are bent by the flourishing flower buds and snow crystals, just like the branches full of fruits in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"There are more than 30 kinds of plum blossoms in this yard, and the colors are probably red, white, and pink. The plum blossoms in our mansion have a long flowering period, and they can bloom from the beginning of winter to the season of spring..." Lin Daiyu Talking while walking, there was a gentle smile on his face, as if blending with this noble white plum.

Shui Rui looked at Lin Daiyu who was walking in the plum grove with a smile, with a gentle smile on his face.His mood has never been so peaceful, and it seems that he is happy to go on like this.

When the two were talking and listening, Xiao Muzi ran over panting.

Shui Rui frowned slightly, this little Muzi was getting more and more ignorant, unexpectedly came to disturb his time with sister Daiyu at this time.

"What do you look like in a panic, didn't you tell you to wait for Master Lin in the study?" Shui Rui couldn't help scolding.

Xiao Muzi immediately knelt down to admit his mistake and said: "Master, forgive me, it is Lin Daiyu who has returned, and this slave came to inform the master."

"Okay, get up, don't be so reckless in the future, you go and tell Master Lin that the prince will be here soon!"

Xiao Muzi quickly stood up and walked out, still regretting the recklessness just now, thinking that the master said that Mr. Lin would notify him immediately when he came back, so why did he forget to see if there was anyone else around the master.It's all right now, I interrupted the master's time with Miss Lin, and the master has to peel off his skin when I go back, little Muzi, little Muzi, you are really smart and confused for a while!

"Brother Rui, hurry up!" Lin Daiyu said after Xiao Muzi left, it would be bad to keep daddy waiting, of course she didn't say the latter sentence.

"Okay, then I'll go first, and my sister should go back quickly. Although it's not snowing heavily, it's not as warm outside as in the room. If you catch a cold, it won't be good."

"I know, brother Rui, don't worry, I'll go back right away!" Lin Daiyu said, although she is not afraid of the cold, she still accepts someone who is close to her very politely. .

"It's good that sister Daiyu knows, I still have a plum blossom in my place, I'll ask Xiao Muzi to bring it to you later!" Shui Rui continued.

Just as Lin Daiyu was about to say no, she heard Shui Rui say: "Sister, don't refuse, I'm not a person who understands flowers, and I'm still chewing peonies in a good plum blossom. Maybe I'll be raised to death after a while. It's better to put it here with my sister, and save a good golden silk plum from being ruined.

Seeing what Shui Rui said, Lin Daiyu knew that she couldn't refuse, so she nodded in agreement.But he didn't expect that an unintentional move at this time would have such a big impact later.

51 Chapter Fifty

Today, Jia's mother celebrated her birthday, and Lin Ruhai also brought her daughter to celebrate her birthday.Although the two of them disdain some of Jia's actions, as long as Jia's mother is still in Lin Daiyu's relationship with Jia's house, Lin Daiyu can't completely sever ties, otherwise it will inevitably be criticized.Although Lin Ruhai had said that Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty were prohibited from entering the Lin Mansion again, he still wanted to congratulate Jia Mu on her birthday.

After entering Jia's mansion, Lin Ruhai naturally went to the outer courtyard to be with the guests, while Lin Daiyu was brought into the inner courtyard.Today Jia's mansion is full of people. Jia's mother is sitting in the middle wearing a red birthday suit, surrounded by men and women.The Sanchun sisters are naturally among them, and there are also Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and two others who have never seen before. Lin Daiyu thinks it should be Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan, or Li Wen and Li Qi, the girls who are closely related to the Jia family in Dream of Red Mansions. That's all.

Not only that, Jia Baoyu was also sitting on the side playing something with the little maids, and even Jia Huan was sitting on the side in the corner.Different from Jia Baoyu's surrounded by stars, Jia Huan is accompanied by only one maid, who is called Caixia if I remember correctly!This maid is different from the others, she gets along very well with Jia Huan, and sometimes she persuades him to be quiet, so as not to be annoying, although Jia Huan doesn't listen, but she doesn't give up, Aunt Zhao is full of hope that she can marry Jia Ring, so that she can be an arm for her. Although Aunt Zhao didn't have any good intentions, it is undeniable that Caixia is still a good person.

When Lin Daiyu entered the room, Jia Baoyu came up to her and pulled her to ask questions. Jia's mother also cheerfully asked Lin Daiyu to sit beside her, and took her by the hand to ask her how she was.Pointing to the two girls next to her, she said, "That's your aunt's niece, your sister Xing, and that's your sister Baochai's cousin Baoqin. You haven't met them before, let's get acquainted first!"

Jia Baoyu followed suit, wanting Lin Daiyu to introduce the deeds of the two younger sisters. Lin Daiyu pretended to listen carefully, but secretly moved her body to keep a certain distance from Jia Baoyu.

Although Jia's mother was also very angry with some of Lin Ruhai's actions, Lin Ruhai's official position was in the end.Although there is an imperial concubine in my family, the harem has never been allowed to participate in politics, so it is just a little bit of glory on the surface. In the past few years, it has been building a garden, visiting relatives, and managing the harem.A lot of money was spent, but the benefits brought to Jia's house were really not much.And Yuan Chun had to rely on a strong backer if he wanted to stand firm in the palace.Mother Jia's planner would not know these truths. Now all the men in her house are idlers, they only know how to enjoy themselves, and none of them are capable of doing business.The second child is not good at planning, so he still has to rely on Lin Ruhai. Originally, his family is the renter of Lin girl, so he can get some care from Lin Ruhai.It's all my fault that my two good sons can't handle things, and they made the relationship between the two families so rigid.

It's true that Mrs. Wang has no brains. Up to now, she is still targeting Lin girl everywhere, and she doesn't look at her daughter who is already struggling in the palace.I have been matching Lin Yatou and Baoyu for their own good. Lin Ruhai is deeply trusted by the emperor, and Lin Yatou is the only daughter. If Lin Yatou marries into the Jia family, Lin Ruhai will not help her family!Hmph, a woman who doesn't know what is good or bad, thinks about the Xue family's money all day long. As for Xue Pan's prodigal temper, he can ruin all the money. I heard that he made an appointment a few days ago and spent a lot It took less money to settle the matter, and now she still thinks how rich the Xue family is?Besides, money is not as good as power. With power, isn't it easy to get as much money as you want?

When Lin Daiyu heard it, it turned out that it was Xing Xiuyan and Xue Baoqin. A few days ago, she heard that relatives had come to Jia's house, and Jia's mother sent someone to pick her up, but she declined on the grounds of illness.We met today, and they are really two nice girls. Xue Baoqin is an optimistic and cheerful person at first glance, with a pair of bright and big eyes revealing innocence and cunning.Compared with Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan is much more restrained, and Wen Wen can be seen as a gentle and peaceful person at a glance.I still have a good impression of these two girls, Lin Daiyu, at least they don't have the mundane atmosphere of Jia's house.In the Dream of Red Mansions, although these two girls are somewhat related to Jia's mansion, they have no major involvement, and their ending is not bad.

Lin Daiyu took advantage of the opportunity of communicating with Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan to stay away from Jia Mu.There was no way, since she had reached the Nascent Soul, she could feel the emotional fluctuations of people very clearly.Who is sincere and who is false, you can feel it with just a little touch.She really couldn't stand Mother Jia laughing falsely in front of her while releasing strong negative emotions in her heart.She is still used to communicating with more sincere people, and now the best candidates are Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan.

Lin Daiyu chatted with Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan about some interesting things recently, while Jia Mu looked at a group of grandchildren and grandchildren with a kind smile on her face, er, at least it looked like this to outsiders, as for what she was thinking, I am afraid only she knew Bar!

After a while, someone outside reported that Concubine Nan'an had arrived, and Mother Jia rushed to meet her.This ancient order of superiority and inferiority is really strict, even if Jia Mu celebrates her own birthday, but a person with a higher status than her comes, she has to rush to accompany her.

Lin Daiyu was still chatting with Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan. At the beginning, Jia Baoyu would interject a few words from time to time. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, she felt bored and went to play with Xue Baochai and the others.

Several people were chatting happily, Yuanyang came in and said that Concubine Nan'an wanted to see some girls, Lin Daiyu also saw such things a lot.Some concubines, concubines, and Mrs. Gaoming love to see these little girls when they are old. First, they have a heart of love for the younger generation. Second, if they are interested, they can be a matchmaker for their children or relatives. of.After all, most of the ladies in ancient times did not go out of the door. It is really not easy to see them. Usually, they take advantage of the banquets of various houses to find a way to meet these girls. They are all officials. It's a good match.Originally thinking that Concubine Nan'an wanted to meet some girls from Jia's mansion, so that was none of her business.But Yuanyang said that Concubine Nan'an heard that there were a few girls from relatives, so she asked to go and meet her. Well, she was a concubine, so she had no way to resist, so she had to go and meet her.

Lin Daiyu tidied up a bit, and Yingchun and the others followed the mandarin ducks into the next hall.Sitting facing her was an old woman wearing a gold and emerald phoenix crown and a princess costume. Needless to say, she was Princess Nan'an, and Jia Mu sat next to her.Lin Daiyu and her sisters paid their respects to Concubine Nan'an. After Concubine Nan'an called out, she ordered the nuns who followed her to pay respects to the girls. Everyone thanked them and stood aside.

Concubine Nan'an sized up the girls, took Lin Daiyu's hand and asked Jia's mother, "Is this girl from your residence?"

"Hehe, this is my granddaughter!" Mother Jia said, smiling all over her face.

"This is Mrs. Lin's daughter, she is really extraordinary!" Concubine Nan'an praised, and held Lin Daiyu for a long time before letting go. Lin Daiyu hurriedly stepped back and stood next to Yingchun.This Concubine Nan'an didn't know what her plan was, anyway, I could feel that she had no good intentions.

Concubine Nan'an asked all the girls one by one again, and finally praised Lin Daiyu and Tanchun a few words, and said that she had something to say in the mansion and she had to leave.Mother Jia asked the maid to take the girls back to the original room, and she sent Princess Nan'an outside the second gate.Recently there have been rumors in Beijing that Concubine Nan'an plans to adopt a daughter-in-law from a girl in a powerful family. In previous years, she has never seen Concubine Nan'an come to celebrate her birthday. This year, she not only came in person but also met a girl from the mansion. this idea.If so, who did she see?Judging from the performance just now, she is most satisfied with Lin Yatou, and she is also okay with Tan Yatou. If it is Tan Yatou, it will be of great benefit to her own mansion. When Jia's mansion has the backing of Wang's mansion, there is no need to worry Lin Ruhai is gone, but it's not good if it's Miss Lin, after all, Miss Lin is not very close to me, and I have to ask someone to inquire about it later...

"Concubine, do you have a fancy?" the nurse next to Concubine Nan'an in Jia Mansion asked in a low voice.

"Oh, don't talk about it, I fell in love with the girl of the Lin family right away. I, a woman, was so surprised by her touching appearance. If I send him away, I will definitely be able to exchange for our prince. However, Lin Ruhai is an important minister of the court. There is only such a daughter, this matter is difficult..." Dowager Nan'an sighed, a few days ago there was a turmoil at the border, and her son, King Nan'an, who was guarding the border, was captured by Nanyi. Advise and make peace with Nanyi.But if you want to make peace, you must have a bargaining chip. It is best to marry a princess, but now the only unmarried princess is the third princess who is loved by the emperor and queen mother like a treasure. road?And she has only one daughter herself, so she is reluctant to give up. The best way now is to adopt a adopted daughter first, and let the emperor give her a title to marry Nanyi after a while.Of course, it's better for this candidate to be better, so that the chances of getting back her prince's son will be better.Lin Daiyu has an exquisite face, so she is the best candidate, but Lin Ruhai is so difficult...

"What the concubine said is that Miss Lin is the only daughter of Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin must be reluctant to give up. From the perspective of slaves, the third daughter of Jia's mansion is not bad." said the nun.

"I also think the third girl is pretty good, but she is still a lot worse than Miss Lin. Let's discuss this matter when we go back. If it doesn't work, we really have to use the third girl..."

After talking about Concubine Nan'an, she got into the sedan chair, and the nanny who had spoken just now shut her mouth tactfully, and got into the sedan chair at the back.

Jia Fu Lin Daiyu and the others went back to the original room and chatted after meeting Concubine Nan'an, Lin Daiyu was still joking with Xue Baoqin and the others.Jia Baoyu, on the other hand, managed to tease Caiyun by his side, hearing Lin Daiyu's chills for a while, Jia Baoyu, really, how should I put it...

"Sister, what did you smear on your face, why does it look so smooth, give me some too!" I saw Jia Baoyu pulling Caiyun towards her face and shouting: "Sister, let me Touch it!"

Caixia didn't pay much attention to him, she only looked at Jia Huan, and Jia Huan's face became gloomy, but Jia Baoyu didn't know it, so he just pulled her and said, "My good sister, please take care of me." !"

Jia Huan was very angry when he saw it. Jia Baoyu usually had so many people playing with him. He only had Caixia. No one in the house knew the relationship between Caixia and him, but Baoyu was still so entangled.Usually, Baoyu was not pleasing to the eye, but in a blink of an eye, he saw a burning candle next to him, so he made up his mind, pretended to be careless, and overturned the candle, and all the hot wax was poured on Jia Baoyu's face in an instant. .Just hearing Jia Baoyu's "Ouch", he covered his face and cried out.

The maids were also in a hurry, those who took medicine took medicine, and those who called someone called someone, ignoring Jia Huan who was on the side. Jia Huan hurriedly slipped out quietly while taking advantage of the hustle and bustle.

Lin Daiyu looked at all this coldly, and suddenly felt that Jia Huan was not so hateful, he was just a child who was used to being neglected, under the guidance of Aunt Zhao, it was not bad to be able to grow up like this without committing any murder or arson up.Children, who doesn't have time to play tricks.If Jia Baoyu hadn't been molesting Caixia, he wouldn't have angered Jia Huan, and he wouldn't have suffered such an innocent disaster. In the final analysis, he did it himself.

It was a lively birthday banquet, but when this accident happened, Mother Jia's complexion was not good, and Aunt Zhao's eyes could eat people.But the existing programs still had to go on, and it was time for the show to start after dinner. Lin Daiyu was not interested in ancient operas, and she didn't want to stay in Jia's residence, so she found an excuse to leave, and Jia's mother didn't force her to stay.
