Continue the love affair of the red mansion

The poem goes: The pear blossoms are pale, the willows are deep green, and the catkins are flying all over the city.Melancholy, there is a snow plant in the east column, life is so clear.

Tomb-sweeping day, in the late spring of April, when peach blossoms are gone and pear blossoms are in full bloom, this banquet in Nanfu is for pear appreciation.

Daiyu followed Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang to the Nan'an Palace in the west of the city when the banquet had not yet begun. Because of the previous Spring Festival Banquet, Daiyu was famous among the nobles. Some people came to chat with each other, flattering and praising, many of them were potential suitors, Jiamu declined calmly with a smile.

Before the banquet started, a maid in dress came over, bowed her knees to Daiyu and said, "Master Lin, I would like to invite Miss Lin to the Qilan Pavilion in the back garden for a while."

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, Mother Jia already understood that Princess Situ must have wanted to meet Daiyu first to see if it was as the legend said, she couldn't help frowning slightly: "Yu'er, since the princess wants to ask , you have to go, you go to see the princess first." He whispered to be careful.

Daiyu agreed, helped Zijuan, and left with the maid.

Madam Wang whispered behind Jia Mu: "The princess is arrogant, I just hope that my niece will know how to avoid the edge."

Mrs. Xing glanced at her, and smiled with unknown meaning: "The reputation is already outside, and it may not be easy to avoid it now."

Jiamu listened to the words of these two people, but she just kept silent and exchanged greetings with other royal orders.

But Daiyu walked all the way to the depths of the Nanfu with the maid wearing flowers and willows. The surrounding scenery gradually changed from grand and magnificent to quiet and beautiful. She thought in her heart that this place should be close to the place where the princess lives. Sure enough, From a distance, one can see a pavilion standing above the water not far away, among them is a woman in a light pink skirt sitting upright, sitting with her back, she can't see her face clearly from a distance, but she already has a very slender figure .

Daiyu has known for a long time that this Nan'an Prefecture Princess Situ Yan'er is quite talented, and she also knows what she meant by inviting her to meet her. Although she refuses to be contemptuous, she never shows any embarrassment, she is still frank. forward.

Wearing an icy blue waist-length jacket, the cuffs were stripped of complicated piping, and only water patterns were selected. The waist was tied with a silk ribbon of the same color. Orchid, slender and curly, is like the god of Lingboluo.

Walking to the outside of the pavilion, Daiyu hadn't seen her before saluting, but she saw the woman with her back facing the pink dress casually said: "What's the matter, haven't you invited me here yet?" There were six maids standing behind her, all of them kept silent. .

Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly, bowed her knees and saluted, "Daughter Lin's Daiyu pays her respects to the Princess."

Only then did Situ Xiao'er stand up slowly, and slowly turn around, her every move was extremely reserved, her voice was also calm and smiling: "It turns out that Miss Lin is here, please take it easy, hurry up and excuse me."

Daiyu stood up, raised her head, and then saw Situ's face clearly, she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, she really had white teeth and bright eyes, moist as bright pearls, and a natural beauty, even better than Baochai, and her eyes looked forward, But there is a little more style, the corners of the mouth slightly raised, appearing quite proud and arrogant, coupled with the gorgeous clothes, it is really glamorous.

Situ Qian'er looked at the plain-clothed woman in front of her, was slightly taken aback, then covered it up without showing any trace, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, please sit down. Serve tea."

"Your Highness, please."

The two sat down, and Daiyu realized that there was a chess game on the stone table in front of her, but it was not the pattern in the common chess records, and she was suspicious.

Situ Qian'er took a sip of the tea soup and said, "I've heard about Miss Lin's name for a long time, and the sound of a qin makes a hundred birds come to listen. I've longed for her since I heard the concubine talk about it. I didn't have time to spare, it happened to be today's mansion banquet, and I must invite Miss Lin together. I was afraid that there would be too many people in front of me, so I couldn't talk freely, so I ordered my servant to invite the girl here. I ask Miss Lin to forgive me for the abruptness. "

Daiyu smiled slightly: "Daiyu didn't dare. The princess's name is Qing Jingshi, seeing her today, she really deserves her reputation."

There was a light in Situ's eyes, and she smiled lightly and said, "What are you talking about? Your father is Tanhualang, he is very educated in his family, he is familiar with the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the piano is already extraordinary, and the others are also outstanding."

Daiyu listened to her endless praises, she must have wanted to restrain herself before raising her praises, so she replied in a well-behaved way: "I really dare not be a princess with such a compliment. It's just a little bit of superficial knowledge, and I can't be a leader. "

"Too modest." Situ Yan'er smiled, but changed the subject: "Recently there was a chess game in Beijing, which was played by an expert. So far no one has been able to break it. I have thought about it for a long time, but there is no solution. I don't know. Ms. Lin, would you be willing to go into details with me."

Just talking here, the maid next to me reminded: "Princess, the banquet is about to start, and the concubine and princess ordered the princess to rush to the front hall."

Situ Qian'er smiled and said: "What's the rush? Go and tell the concubine and concubine mother that I haven't finished talking with Miss Lin here, and we'll go together when Miss Lin breaks the chess game." Said: "Miss Lin, please take a look, it is this game, please trouble me."

Having said that, Daiyu already understood the meaning.

The princess wants to solve this chess game by himself in a very short time. If he can't, he will delay the banquet ahead and cause criticism.After a lifetime, Daiyu knows that people's words are terrifying, one word can lift you into the blue clouds, and one word can also step you into the dust.

Sighing lightly, it can be seen that the fame is tiring.

It's just that this Princess Situ may not understand that the so-called piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, piano, calligraphy, and painting can all be achieved through hard work, but this chess depends on talent. If there is no talent, no matter how hard you study and practice It doesn't help.

And is this chess game really that difficult?

Not sure.

Thinking about it, Daiyu then said: "Since the Princess has an order, Daiyu will try her best."

Situ Qian'er nodded with a smile, while ordering someone to make tea again, she probably thought it would be a long time to wait?

Following Daiyu's soft drop, the relaxed smile on Situ Yong'er's face faded a bit.

The breeze blew gently, brushing away the broken hair on Daiyu's forehead.The skin is as transparent and delicate as jade, and it can be broken by blowing bombs. It is flawless without makeup, and the eyebrows are gently frowned, and then slowly stretched.

Unbeknownst to Situ Qian'er, a hint of uneasiness had already appeared in her eyes inadvertently.

After finalizing the last word, Daiyu raised her head and said calmly: "Princess, I don't know what to do?"

Situ Qian'er didn't hide the astonishment in her eyes any longer, she stared fixedly at the chessboard, it was hard to believe that the unsolved chess game that she had been pondering for several months was broken so easily.

The shock at the beginning was gradually replaced by the anxiety and annoyance in her heart, but she didn't show it at all, she slowly raised her head, showing a very surprised and appreciative expression: "Miss Lin is so sensitive and intelligent."
