There is no phoenix

Baoyu hurriedly came from the front, and was about to reach out to pull Daiyu. Daiyu hurriedly stepped back, looked at Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, what are you doing with your hands and feet like this?"

Seeing Daiyu's indifference, Baoyu quickly laughed and said, "Sister Lin, once I saw you, I couldn't care less about anything. Let me tell you, I brought back a good thing from Brother Zhen today, and you must like it!"

Seeing Baoyu's happy face, Daiyu said that she wanted to please herself, remembering that Tanchun said that Baoyu might not know about Baochai's engagement, so she tried her best to calm down and said, "Baoyu, you have good things. Just take a look, why think of me."

Baoyu said with a smile: "Sister Lin, you are so smart, have you forgotten the phrase 'It is better to be happy with others than to be alone'? Come on, Sister Lin, you go to my place and have a look. I will ask the third and fourth sisters to come and see , you will be very happy to see it.”

After hearing this, Daiyu saw that Baoyu was speaking in high spirits, so she hurriedly asked, "What is it? Baoyu, since you want to invite me to see it, why don't you tell me first, or I'd rather not see it."

Baoyu hurriedly said, "Sister Lin, let me tell you, it's a white parrot. Sister Lin, you don't know that your parrot can read poems. The parrot I have now not only has rare white fur, but also can read the whole text. Read Tao Yuanming's "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring", if you don't believe me, go see it."

After hearing this, Daiyu was immediately moved by curiosity, so she said to Zijuan, "Zijuan, let's go and have a look together."

Baoyu led Daiyu and Zijuan to Yihong Courtyard. Seeing Sheyue and Qiuwen came out to welcome them, he hurriedly asked, "Baoyu, why don't you see any attackers?"

Baoyu sighed: "Sister Lin asked me, and I was also wondering. Xiren was ill a few days ago, and his wife said that her brother and sister-in-law took him home to recuperate. Now many days have passed, and she has not come back."

After hearing this, Daiyu didn't ask much, but asked Baoyu where the parrot was.

Baoyu pointed to the porch and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, look, I hung it on the very edge of my porch, where there is ventilation on three sides. It's hot now, and it's cool everywhere."

Daiyu looked up, and she saw a white parrot hanging in the corridor.So I walked over and saw this red-billed parrot with a whole body of white. I looked at Daiyu curiously and said, "Under the South Mountain of Planting Beans, the grass is full of bean sprouts and the bean sprouts are sparse."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Daiyu laughing, Baoyu hurriedly approached and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, look at me teasing her!"

Baoyu took some rice grains and put them in the cage, then blew a few times on the parrot, and said "Jin Taiyuan Zhong."

The parrot heard it, and immediately read: "Wuling people fish for a living."

Baoyu read again: "Go west, forget the distance of the road."

The parrot jumped up, looked at Daiyu and said, "Suddenly came across a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps away from the bank. The grass is beautiful, and the falling petals are colorful."

Daiyu laughed and said, "It really is a very spiritual parrot, stronger than mine."

Baoyu laughed and said, "If sister Lin likes it, I'll give you this one, and you give me yours, okay?"

Daiyu heard this, and hurriedly said: "Since you bought it back, and it is so spiritual, it must have recognized you as its master, why did you abandon it again?"

Baoyu hurriedly said: "Sister Lin likes it so much, if you are its master, you will naturally let it understand that there are masters who like it more than me."

Daiyu turned her head to look at Baoyu, and said seriously: "Although this is the case, I also like my parrot. My parrot can already read many of my poems. It looks at me and Zijuan Xueyan Meiqing every day. , every day I would call out 'girl girl, girl' several times. If I take another one back, wouldn't it let it know that I am also a master who loves the new and dislikes the old?"

Baoyu hurriedly said: "It's just a parrot, that's all Sister Lin said. I don't know how many owners this parrot has changed, and it is still as happy. The hostage Dark Red is good to it, and it will naturally like any owner .”

Daiyu said: "That's what you men think. I'm not like you! Although parrots are birds, they are very spiritual, and we should cherish their spirituality. Why don't we read so many poems and books? , isn’t it a waste of reading?”

The Zijuan on the side said: "The girl is right. Some birds are more affectionate than us. Like the swallows in our house, my mother said that the swallows that came to our house every year are the swallows that came to our house last year. On the beam of my house That bird’s nest has been there for many years, and every year when the swallows come, they will repair the nest first, and then hatch the young swallows. My mother said that these swallows are a family, and they all know our family.”

Daiyu said: "It's not just swallows! Zijuan, haven't you heard the story of Jingwei reclamation? It is said that Jingwei birds often carry small stones to the sea to reclaim the sea. Those birds are Jingwei's companions and friends. Children and grandchildren, they are still trying to reclaim the sea.”

Zijuan hurriedly said: "Girl, I have never heard of this story, so I will tell you."

Baoyu laughed and said, "Zicuckoo, you haven't even heard such a story? Let me tell you. The bird called Jingwei mentioned by Sister Lin is said to be the most beloved daughter of Emperor Yan. Her name is Nv. Baby. One day, Nvwa went to play on the East Sea, and a sudden storm hit. She accidentally fell into the sea and drowned. The soul of Nvwa turned into a bird with a very shrill cry. People called this bird 'Jingwei Bird'. Jingwei Bird lives on Fajiu Mountain, and it brings stones and branches from Fajiu Mountain every day, and throws them into the East China Sea again and again, trying to fill up the East China Sea."

Daiyu continued: "This Jingwei bird keeps holding small stones or branches in its mouth every day, trying to fill up the sea. There is a more majestic bird seeing Jingwei's determination, so it also helps Jingwei hold small They filled the sea with pebbles or branches, and finally they became a couple. After that, their children also filled the sea with pebbles or branches in their mouths, year after year, without interruption."

After hearing this, Zijuan sighed: "The story of Jingwei told by Miss and Master Bao is really touching. I also think that some birds are indeed more affectionate than us. When I was young, my brother sometimes said that he would use a ladder to climb up to see those birds." Little swallow, my mother forbids it, saying that swallows are just like people, and they love children very much. If they accidentally kill their children, those swallows will not come to our house next year. Because they will feel that the host does not like them .”

Muskyue on the side heard this, and also approached and said: "I also heard a story that a wild goose was injured and landed at the door of a poor woman's house, and could not fly again. The woman felt sorry for the wild goose. I caught the wild goose and checked it, but found that there was still one parked on the tree at the door, which seemed to be crying sadly. The woman saw that the wild goose was injured on a wing and a foot, so she hurriedly applied medicine to the wild goose. , put the wounded goose in a big bamboo cage at the door of the house, and put some rice for the goose to eat. The next day, the woman got up and saw a small piece of broken silver on the big stone board at the door of the house. On the big cage of the wounded goose, there was still a wild goose perched. Judging by the color of its coat, it was the one that had been parked on the tree the day before. The woman continued to apply medicine to the wounded goose, and the other wild goose just stood on the tree and looked at it. One day, when the woman got up, she could see the uninjured goose perched outside the cage, and there was a small piece of silver on the big stone slab. Ten days later, the wounded goose was healed, and the woman let it out. I saw the goose flying up quickly, circling several times over the woman's house together with the goose that was parked on the tree, shouting for joy, very happy. The next day, the woman saw it on the stone slab. A small pile of broken silver, I also saw the two wild geese perched on the tree, flew up together, circled around the woman's house for a few times, and then flew away. Every spring and autumn every year One day, women can see a small pile of broken silver on the stone slab. My mother said that it was left by the two geese in repaying their kindness."

Daiyu listened, looked at Baoyu and said: "Baoyu, you have heard it now. There are many birds that value friendship. Not all birds fly separately when disasters come. But we humans may not be able to live together for a lifetime. Be loyal to only one person, especially you men, how many people can you have. Well, Baoyu, now I have seen the parrot you brought back, and I am going back to Xiaoxiang Hall to rest."

Baoyu was immersed in Sheyue's story, and after hearing what Daiyu said, he just nodded numbly and said, "Sister Lin, be careful, I won't send her off. Zijuan, support Sister Lin well."

Seeing that Baoyu was in a daze, Daiyu knew she would be dazed again, and said with a smile, "Baoyu, I'm not so delicate, I just go by myself."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she turned around and went out, Zijuan hurriedly followed.

The love is still there, but the fate is gone. After Baoyu heard this, what insights will he have?And see the next chapter.
