There is no phoenix

On the small stone bridge in front of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Baoyu was standing there, looking at the closed courtyard gate in front of the clump of bamboos, weeping in the wind.

Daiyu is right, if I knew this, why bother!

Today's Daiyu is already a veritable young concubine of Beijing Jing, and is newly married.

However, Baoyu still couldn't let go of this once unforgettable love.

I used to think that every day is close at hand, as long as I like it, it will happen naturally; I used to think that among all the beauty, I am lucky to be the only green leaf among them.Regardless of Baochai, Daiyu, Miaoyu, Xiangyun, Xiren, Qingwen, Jin Chuan, or even any one of them, as long as you like it, you can have them for life.However, after Daiyu made it clear, she realized that she was really wrong, so she lost one after another.Even Baochai, now it seems that she is no longer the dignified and virtuous sister Bao, who can make her feel emotionally moved at any time.

Baoyu just stood there blankly, and after an unknown amount of time, he let out a long sigh, and then went to Qiushuangzhai, where Tanchun lived, and Xiexiangou, where Xichun lived.

Xie Xiang Ou Qiu Shuang Zhai is the same as the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Daiyu lived, the courtyard door is closed.Along the way, there are many dead branches and leaves.Although Mrs. Wang asked someone to clean it at least twice a day, but there are many leaves falling in the autumn wind.Baoyu met only one old woman along the way, who said she was going to Daoxiang Village to deliver something to Li Wan.

Baoyu was melancholy for a while, and then went back to his study to read in dejection.

But Daiyu and Shui Rong had lunch in Daiyuan, and after sitting for a while, Shui Rong said goodbye and said he wanted to go back.Everyone sent them out of the mansion, and seeing Daiyu get into the carriage, Li Lei, Li Xun and shopkeeper Hu also left one after another.

Shui Rong Daiyu is in the same car, and Daiyu smells alcohol on Shui Rong, so she raises the curtain of the car to look out from time to time.Shui Rong grabbed Daiyu's hand and said: "Dai'er, I finished a big event today. You are with me, if you want to look at me, look at me, don't look outside!"

Daiyu looked at Shui Rong with wide eyes and said, "Why? Why did Brother Rong become so domineering?"

Shui Rong hugged Daiyu tightly, whispered in Daiyu's ear, "Dai'er, the emperor gave me ten days off, and I want you to miss me every moment from now on."

Daiyu quickly covered Shui Rong's mouth with her hand and said, "Brother Rong, are you drunk?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Dai'er, I know you don't like the smell of wine on my body, but you have to get used to it, this is your Lin family's wine, and your Uncle Lin personally poured it for me, and you are the one who toasted it." People in my family, if I don’t drink today, it’s not disrespectful to your family? So, you can’t dislike my taste of wine. You don’t know, I’ve only drank two more glasses today.”

While talking, Shui Rong had already kissed Daiyu several times on the face.

Daiyu's face was flushed, and she hurriedly whispered: "Brother Rong, this is outside, don't do this!"

Shui Rong said: "Dai'er, don't talk. If you rely on me, I will naturally behave. If you look at the outside, I'm jealous of the outside, so you have to be careful."

Daiyu looked at Shui Rong, saw that Shui Rong's handsome face was flushed, knew that he must have drunk a lot, so she leaned on Shui Rong's chest docilely.

After a while, several people had returned to Beijing Palace.

Xueyan and Zijuan waited on Daiyu to wash her hands and face. Daiyu said: "Snow Yan, Zijuan, you have been tired for a long time. Go and rest. I am tired from riding in the car and want to rest for a while."

After hearing this, Xueyan Zijuan had to retreat.

Daiyu poured a cup of tea for Shui Rong herself, and said with a smile, "Brother Rong, you drank so much wine, drink your tea well first, and I'll go rest for a while, and then talk with you."

As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, Shui Rong approached, hugged Daiyu by the waist, kissed Daiyu fondly and said, "Okay, Dai'er, I want to leave me as soon as I come back, let me drink tea, you go Rest. We took the car together, why didn't you ask me if I was tired?"

Shui Rong put Daiyu on the bed, took off her coat, hugged Daiyu and said, "Dai'er, I don't want to drink tea now."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Brother Rong, if you are tired, then you should also rest for a while."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she leaned in and closed her eyes, trying to cover herself with the quilt.

Shui Rong hugged Daiyu and said, "Dai'er, I can only fall asleep if I hug you." After saying that, she closed her eyes, covered the quilt, and seemed to fall asleep soon.

Daiyu couldn't help stroking Shui Rong's face with her hands, and said with a smile, "Brother Rong, I know you're just pretending."

Just as Daiyu said this, Shui Rong opened his eyes with a smile, looked at Daiyu and said, "Dai'er, I thought you would not be able to work if you married me. You can do whatever you want. know, don't you?"

After Shui Rong finished speaking, his hands became restless, Daiyu hurriedly said: "Brother Rong, didn't you say you were tired just now? Take a rest."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "I was tired, why told you to touch my face?"

Daiyu was afraid of itchiness, but after being teased by Shui Rong, she couldn't help laughing and slipped under the blanket, hurriedly said: "Brother Rong, don't do this!"

Shui Rong took Daiyu's hand, put it on his arm and said, "Dai'er, look, your nail marks haven't disappeared yet, I'm not willing to punish you properly."

Daiyu took a look, and sure enough, there were two red scratches there. Thinking of the scene that night, Daiyu was even more ashamed, so she could only softly say: "Brother Rong, I'm sorry, but at that time—"

Shui Rong looked at Dai Yu with a smile and said, "I know, you Dai'er, do you think I hurt you and you punish me like this?"

After Shui Rong finished speaking, he leaned against Daiyu's face and whispered: "Dai'er, don't you remember what the mother in the palace taught you? You dare to mark your husband, do you think you should be punished?"

Daiyu hurriedly covered Shui Rong's mouth, and said in embarrassment, "Brother Rong, don't say that."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about it! We can follow the mother's teaching!"

Water Rong's warmth and enthusiasm made Daiyu weak and weak after a while, so she could only cover the quilt in embarrassment and said, "Brother Rong, it's daytime, let's have a good rest."

Shui Rong looked at this shy and incomprehensible little princess, and said with a smile: "Dai'er, I'll say it again, I'm taking a ten-day vacation, and I want you to remember me every moment. In our house , You don’t care if it’s day or night!”

Daiyu was reserved and shy at first for the water-soluble passion and teasing, but after a while, she couldn't help but respond.Shui Rong hugged Daiyu very satisfied, and said softly, "Dai'er, you have read a lot of poetry and books, do you know the meaning of the phrase 'I don't envy mandarin ducks, I don't envy immortals'?"

Daiyu didn't speak, but covered Shui Rong's mouth with her hands.

When Daiyu and the water dissolved, it was already sunset.

Xueyan came in and returned: "Young prince, young concubine, just now the prince and concubine sent someone to say that they will let you go over to have dinner together."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Xueyan, you and Zijuan pack up your clothes for going to Jasper Garden tomorrow, we will go early tomorrow."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Zicuckoo, remember to wrap up the things I gave to Sister Miaoyu."

Snow geese and Zijuan agreed, and hurried in to clean up.

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu with a smile and said: "Dai'er, it will take a while to eat now, let's play a game of chess before going over."

Daiyu said: "Brother Rong, I was wondering if I should bring some pens, ink and paper over there tomorrow?"

Shui Rong stroked Daiyu's temples with a smile, and said with a smile: "Dai'er, do you think Biyu Garden is just a farm? Let me tell you, it's a royal garden, why is there no paper, pen and ink? What do you want to write? I know You like reading books, and there is a big library there with more books than here. So if you go and live there for a few days, you might like it so much that you don’t want to come back here.”

Daiyu said happily after hearing this: "Really?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Of course it is true. I can tell you that this garden was originally given to my prince brother. My prince brother likes to read books the most, but my sister-in-law said that it is remote. Father heard my father say you I like reading books and being clean, so I said a long time ago that I would give the garden to me as a gift from our marriage."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Brother Rong, the emperor treats you very well!"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "It's not the emperor, it's our father!"

After hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly said: "Yes, I just can't change my words all at once. Brother Rong, people say that a mother's love is like water, and a father's love is like a mountain. In my heart, when I think of my father's love for me, I want to cry. "

Seeing Daiyu talking, Shui Rong's voice gradually became quieter, knowing that Daiyu was a little sad when talking about her father, she hurriedly took Daiyu's hand and said: "Dai'er, don't be sad, I know you often miss your father, yes Don't you often dream about it now?"

Daiyu nodded and said: "Yes, my mother passed away early, and the memory of that time is already blurred. But my father spent more time with me, especially the year I returned to Yangzhou. Every time I think of my father's words and deeds, it is like As clear as it was yesterday. Whenever he takes me out, he puts me in menswear and loves to hold my hand all the time."

Daiyu said, her eyes filled with tears.

Shui Rong took out a handkerchief, wiped away Daiyu's tears, and said with a smile, "My silly Dai'er, you shed tears when you talk about it. Seeing you like this makes me want to cry too, come on, let's play chess!"

The fragrance of Osmanthus osmanthus outside the courtyard, and the fragrance of chrysanthemums float in the wind, and the chess pieces fall gently, everything is so beautiful.

Early the next morning, Shui Rong Daiyu was still the same as yesterday, she brought Zijuan Xueyan and Shui'an Chen Yejun, and rode out of the Beijing Palace on two bikes.

Because Daiyu said that she wanted to see Miaoyu first, the group went to Feng's residence first.

When Shui Rong and Daiyu came to Feng's residence, Feng Ziying was leading the horse to go out.Seeing Shui Rong and Daiyu coming in, he hurriedly led the young man back to see the horse, and went to the flower hall to sit down with Shui Rong and Daiyu.

After a while, Xiang'er helped Miaoyu out, and Daiyu saw that Miaoyu's belly grew so fast. Miaoyu was originally taller than Daiyu, but now she was wearing loose clothes, which made Daiyu feel like a giant. Miaoyu hurriedly approached and asked, "Sister Miaoyu, is she about to give birth?"

Mrs. Feng on the side smiled and said: "That's so fast, it's only six months now, people say that it's really hard for a woman to conceive in October."

Daiyu looked at Miaoyu's big belly again, and hurriedly asked: "Sister Miaoyu, are you feeling unwell?"

Miaoyu shook her head and smiled, "It's just that my feet are a little swollen these days, but I don't feel uncomfortable. Also, I always feel hungry and eat more than before."

Daiyu asked in shock, "Why are your feet still swollen?"

Mrs. Feng smiled and said: "Young Princess, don't worry, we women, giving birth to a child is hard, but there is joy in the bitterness. Don't look at the child in the womb for more than six months, maybe you can listen to us. Pregnant women are pregnant with their children. For six or seven months, some swelling on the feet is not a problem."

Miaoyu also said: "Sister Lin, my child will move around in the morning and evening."

Daiyu was very surprised.

Feng Ziying looked at Shui Rong with a smile and said, "The young prince and the young concubine work harder, so that our children will have company to play with in the future."

After hearing this, Daiyu blushed and said, "We just got married, how can we talk about children so quickly."

Mrs. Feng smiled and said: "Young Concubine, don't be shy, you will naturally have children after becoming a relative. When it comes to having children, Young Concubine, I would like to ask you to do me a big favor."

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Ma'am, what can I do to help?"

Mrs. Feng smiled and said, "It's Miss Wen who sent you to marry at your house the day before yesterday. I think you and her are very good, you don't know, my family Ziyong came to pick me up the day before yesterday, when Mrs. Li brought Miss Wen I want to go back. When Ziyong came back, he asked me who the girl belonged to, so I would like to ask you to ask Miss Wen and Mrs. Li for me when you have time."

Daiyu laughed and said, "So the Second Young Master has taken a fancy to Sister Wen?"

Seeing that Shui Rong and Feng Ziying were a little puzzled, Daiyu quickly laughed and said, "Sister Wen is Brother Li Tai's eldest sister. We used to play together in Yangzhou."

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "It turns out that Ziyong has taken a fancy to Li Tai's sister."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. I will ask sister Daiyu to invite Mrs. Li and Miss Wen to my place some other day. It will be clear after asking."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Sister Wen is cheerful, she is two months younger than me, and she likes riding horses very much. It was taught by brother Li Tai. I will ask her in a few days. It's just that I heard from Mrs. Li that now Li Tai Brother is not in the capital, and Sister Wen has a younger brother and sister who are still young, so I might not want to marry Sister Wen too early."

Mrs. Feng smiled and said: "This is also easy. Ziyong is now 16 years old. If they have this fate, they can get married first, and they can get married next year or the next year. But it must be Miss Wen herself."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Li Shilang was only transferred to the capital this year, and he may feel that his wife and children are not familiar with the capital. Li Tai can't come back for a few years now, so it's possible for Miss Liuwen to take good care of her younger brothers and sisters."

Mrs. Feng said with a smile: "This Ziyong, I thought he was a child who didn't understand anything, but whoever knows he knows how to like other girls."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, I'll take note of what you said. I'll tell you when I ask Mrs. Li and Sister Wen."

Mrs. Feng said with a smile: "Then it's hard work, young princess!"

Knowing that Feng Ziying was going to work, Daiyu asked Zijuan to present a gift to Miaoyu and Mrs. Feng, then got up and said goodbye: "Sister Miaoyu, rest well, and come to see you when I am free."

Mrs. Feng, Feng Ziying, sent Shui Rong Daiyu to the car to see how many people had left the mansion, and then Mrs. Feng returned, so Feng Ziying was on duty.

When Shui Rong and Daiyu came to Biyu Garden, Li Ying, the chief eunuch in charge of Biyu Garden, brought some young eunuchs back to buy them.Li Ying had been told that Shui Rong and Daiyu would come here for vacation these days, so she bought a lot of things.

Li Ying brought all the young eunuchs and some servants to meet Shui Rong and Daiyu, and then led them to a large courtyard called "Jade Palace", and said with a smile: "The young prince and the young concubine rest here first, slaves Ask someone to bring melon and fruit snacks over."

Shui Rong held Daiyu's hand and said, "Dai'er, there are four courtyards like this here, but this one is the largest, and this is the house we will live in from now on. If you like this place, we can come and live here often."

Daiyu saw a rockery on one side of the yard with a small fountain flowing down from it. Thinking of the backyard of her old house in Gusu, Daiyu felt similar, so she laughed and said, "Looking at this rockery, I think of my aunt Su's hometown."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "I know what you think. This is a fake mountain. There is really a mountain in this garden. The living water is drawn from the mountain over there. Dai'er, if you are not tired, I will take you there now. Look over there, there's a racetrack, and a big lake."

Daiyu hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Rong, anyway, I'm going to stay here for a few days, so I'm not in a hurry to see it, let's sit down for a while."

Shui Rong said: "Alright, let Zijuan Xueyan Shui'an Chen Yejun clean up their house, let's rest for a while."

Shui Rong led Daiyu into the house, and Daiyu saw that it was a large suite with three rooms connected to each other.Li Yingdao: "The servant girl knows that the young prince is coming today, and everything has been packed here. The young prince and the concubine want to see what they want, so the servant will send it."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Director Li, let's go to work first, I see that everything here is complete, and I can't think of anything missing for the time being."

After Li Ying left, Daiyu asked Zijuan and Xueyan to tidy up the room again, and said that the quilt on the bed was too dark, so she asked to replace it with a light-colored quilt.

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Daier, wherever you go, you should first look at the quilt on the bed. You don't like red, but others say that bright red means prosperity."

Daiyu said: "Maybe it's my habit, I think red is too bright and dazzling. Brother Rong likes big red very much?"

Shui Rong said: "I never paid attention to the color of the quilt I covered. When I want to sleep, I lie down and sleep. When I get up, I go out naturally. I don't pay attention to the color."
