Continue the love affair of the red mansion

But the little novice held two red plums and said: "The master of the plums ordered the monk to send them to the benefactor who admired the plums just now."

Daiyu was surprised at first, then her eyes fell on the plum blossom.The two red plums are about two feet high, and the side branches protrude horizontally and obliquely. Some of them are coiled or curved, or they are like a flat worm, or they are like a worm, or they are solitary and cut like a brush, or they are densely packed like a forest, and the petals are still dyed. The traces of snow, the faint fragrance and the coldness are really lovely, the snow geese and the azaleas behind them all groaned softly.That Daiyu frowned slightly, she was not in a hurry to ask Xueyan to take it, but said in a low voice: "Dare to ask who is Master Mei?"

The little novice said: "Master Mei has another letter, which I have asked me to give to the benefactor. She said that the benefactor will understand after reading it." After speaking, she handed it to Xueyan, who hurriedly handed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu opened it in front of everyone, and saw a poem recorded on it in an ordinary face. She read it out while reading: "The wind is more awe-inspiring than the snow, and the integrity of the flower is the strongest. I am ashamed to beg for mercy from Lord Dong.”

Everyone heard it clearly and some didn't, they all couldn't understand what it meant, only Daiyu's heart moved, silently, slightly raised her beautiful chin, nodded to the little novice, and said: "Thank you, Master." The geese took the plum blossoms, and then put the poem into their sleeves.

Back in the room, the two maidservants Xueyan and Zijuan hurriedly took the plain white porcelain plum vase from the official kiln, scooped up clean water, and offered the plum blossoms.

Daiyu just looked at the red plum thoughtfully and pondered.

Just now I thought there was someone in the plum grove, and sure enough there was someone, not only someone, this person was also the owner of the plum garden, and he heard those few lines of old poems that I occasionally recited casually.This sentence is obsolete and self-healing, and I am ashamed to beg for mercy from Dongjun. Isn't it just a reply to my own sentence that the wind is like a solution, it is easy not to destroy, the situation and the situation are opposite, but it implies a deep meaning-the plum blossom is a character So pure and firm, no matter what situation you are in, you can still be proud of the frost and fight the snow, not afraid of the cold and bullying, how can you beg for mercy?

Half irony, half persuasion?

The plum fragrance is dense, like a breeze that easily dissipates the fog in my heart.If you have the ambition of plum, why are you afraid of snow and wind?

A slight, almost imperceptible smile spread over the corner of his mouth.

But, who is the person who gave the plum?

In fact, this question also lingered in Aunt Yun's heart, she was a little uneasy, and asked Zijuan about the recent situation, and then she was a little relieved.

Hearing their discussion, Daiyu came back to her senses, smiled and said, "You guys are overthinking, so you worry about it." Gently touching the plum petals with her slender and even fingers, a few drops of melted snowdrops When she got down, reflecting the sun, she looked more and more like crystal glass, Daiyu sighed softly: "Look at this person's behavior, he is not a person in the world."

Nanny Wang and Concubine Yun looked at each other, and they both gave wry smiles, and Nanny Wang said: "Who made the girl have such an appearance and character, if people see her, I'm afraid that something will happen."

Daiyu blushed when she heard this, she was more beautiful than Hongmei, and said angrily, "What are you talking about?"

Behind Wang Momo came a Xueyan who smiled and added: "What Momo said is true."

Without waiting for Daiyu to get angry, she ran out quickly: "Miss wants to eat water shield tonight, I'll go and see if the food is ready."

Everyone in the room laughed.

However, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the New Year's Eve was approaching, and the affairs in the temple came to an end, and Daiyu bid farewell to her parents' graves for the last time.The matter of where to go in the future was brought up.Because Jia Lian failed to deal with the affairs of the Lin Mansion, he was a little unhappy. He heard that Yuan Chun had chosen Fengzao Palace and was about to return to the mansion to visit his relatives. He ordered that he must take Daiyu back with him, and said that it was the meaning of the ancestors.

Then Jia Lian didn't understand, it would take a lot of money to build the provincial hospital, and now the mansion is full of money, and if it doesn't put on airs, it will be hard to avoid, so tell Sister Lin to go back quickly, I'm afraid it will be The drunken man didn't mean to drink, so he couldn't help smiling bitterly, how did the second aunt know that sister Lin was different, this time he was going back empty-handed, but the letter said so, so he had to rush to set off and bring Daiyu back I thought that Daiyu would never refuse, but who would have thought that Daiyu would say something else.

"Since my father and mother have left the dust, I was supposed to go back with Lian's second brother to fulfill my filial piety at the knees of my grandmother, but now I still have a year of filial piety, and I want to stay here, morning and night, so that I can be good for my father." My mother burns incense to pray for blessings, and besides, she is not in good health. I heard that the imperial concubine and empress are going to return to the mansion to visit relatives. I am afraid that I am not pleasing. I am afraid that my filial piety is not pleasing. If Lian's second brother goes ahead and goes back to help the mansion with various matters. Waiting for next year In addition to being filial, I will go to visit the old ancestor Hou and the two aunts, and it will not be too late to meet you sisters, wouldn't it be a good deal for both?"

These words fit perfectly without any leeway.Even though Jia Lian was eloquent, he couldn't say anything, but said: "I'm afraid the ancestor misses my sister so much that she doesn't feel at ease if she is alone."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Second elder brother might as well pass on my thoughts to the old ancestor, the old ancestor will also be considerate and won't take responsibility."

Jia Lian said again: "I'm afraid that Brother Baoyu is still waiting in the mansion. If he knows that his sister refuses to go back, there will be another trouble in the sky and on the earth."

Speaking of Baoyu, Daiyu was slightly startled, and sighed in her heart: "Second brother Bao treated me very well. Brothers and sisters are like brothers and sisters. But all goodness and filial piety are the first, and it is necessary that the second elder brother Lian speak for me. .”

Jia Lian was surprised again when she heard this, and couldn't help but take a closer look at Daiyu, seeing that she still had a cold face, which was the same, but why did she feel that it was so different from the old days?Seeing that she is determined, but also helpless, I can only laugh and say: "Since my sister has this ambition, I don't want to be strong, so I will go back tomorrow. Bring the new year to spring, and then come to pick up my sister. At that time, my sister can no longer resign. "

Daiyu laughed and said, "I will definitely not say goodbye. I have ordered some small things here to send to my ancestors, uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters. I also ask Lian's second brother to take them with me."

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "How can I ask my sister to spend money?"

Daiyu said: "It's just a thought. There is nothing costly or not."

Early the next morning, Jia Lian boarded the boat and left.
