Enter the red building

Xue Qiu took the letter and opened it to read it. After reading it, he raised his head and frowned and said to Lu Lian: "Go and tell Qi Bo to ask him to take my post to invite Imperial Physician Liu of the Liu Mansion to visit the Rongguo Mansion." .”

Lulian hurriedly responded and withdrew.

Mrs. Xue didn't know what was written in the letter, but seeing Xue Qiu's calm expression, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Qiu'er, what's the matter? What happened?"

Xue Qiu didn't say anything, but just passed the letter in his hand to Mrs. Xue.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Qiu's anxious expression, her heart tightened suddenly, what's wrong with Qiu'er?He can't be so calm, when he——

But Xue Qiu got up and said: "Mother, then I will go to Beijing Palace to propose marriage in a few days!"

Mrs. Xue put down the letter in her hand and looked straight at Xue Qiu. Only now did Mrs. Xue realize what was missing from Xue Qiu's body. She opened her lips, but she didn't know what to say.

Xue Qiu saluted Mrs. Xue and Chen Qiao, then turned and walked out the door.

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Qiu's back, walked step by step, and couldn't help shouting, "Qiuer—"

Xue Qiu stopped in his tracks, without turning his head, he just said: "Don't worry, mother!" After speaking, he strode out, his steps were very steady, and his back was still elegant.

rest assured?How can you put me at ease like this?Mrs. Xue looked outside the door, full of thoughts. She knew how much Xue Qiu loved Lin Daiyu, so how could she turn her eyes away?Then the only answer is that his heart is dead, not because he doesn't love, but because he doesn't know love anymore.

······

Zijuan in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion has been worried all day these days. On the day when Lin Daiyu found out about the matter, thinking of Xue Qiu's eyes and warning that day, Zijuan knew that he was a dead end, and Zijuan felt completely cold .

Fortunately, Xue Qiu didn't come to Jia's mansion these days, but Zijuan knew in her heart that if she escaped past the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day, Xue Qiu would find herself to settle the score sooner or later.

Qian Que didn't know that this news came from Zijuan. Looking at Lin Daiyu's gradually weakened body, she only hoped that Xue Qiu could come to visit Lin Daiyu sooner, but even after the letter was handed over to Xue Qiu, Xue Qiu didn't come either.

Even if Qian Que repeatedly told Lin Daiyu about this matter, it was clearly just that the servants were gossiping and making something out of nothing, Lin Daiyu would not listen.Ever since Xue Qiu never came to Jia's Mansion to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she knew that this matter was true, and what he said hurt her after all.

It will be late, the cold wind will blow, the leaves will fall and the flowers will wither.

Qian Que saw Lin Daiyu sitting in front of the porch again, looked outside the door, and quickly persuaded: "Miss, don't sit here, it's windy here, don't catch cold again. Doctor Liu said that your body can't stand it any longer." Start to toss."

Xueyan on the side also said: "Yes! Miss, you can't ignore your own body."

Lin Daiyu looked at Qian Que with red eyes and asked, "Is he not coming?"

Qian Que naturally knew who Lin Daiyu was talking about, and she also sighed for Lin Daiyu in her heart. At this time, she could only smile and say: "Miss Qin is just married, I think Lord Hou will be very busy during this time."

Lin Daiyu smiled wryly, looking at the door, hoping that the figure would appear, "Really? He also knows about that, right?"

Xue Yan said very angrily: "Miss, don't listen to those gossips. The old lady has severely punished them."

Qian Que helped Lin Daiyu get up, and said softly: "Miss, you know Lord Hou, why would he come to take a look. After this period of time, Lord Hou must have come."

Lin Daiyu knew that Qianque said this to ease her heart, but she didn't think so in her heart. She also hoped that the rumors about herself were false, but she knew it in her heart.Lin Daiyu also changed the subject and asked, "Where is Zijuan? Why haven't I seen her these days?"

Xueyan pursed her lips indifferently and said: "She is sick, she has been having nightmares these days, and we couldn't sleep well after tossing."

Qian Que glared at Xue Yan, and quickly explained to Lin Daiyu: "Don't listen to Xue Yan, maybe it's because I'm tired recently that I can't sleep well at night."

Lin Daiyu didn't ask any further questions, and was about to follow Qianque Xueyan back to the house, but she turned her head and glanced at the door, hoping that that person would appear.Looking back for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a man dressed as a young master just happened to walk over,

Seeing Lin Daiyu's delighted look, Qian Que also turned her head to take a closer look, and found that the person who came was not Xue Qiu, but Jia Baoyu.Jia Baoyu was wearing a long gown with red embroidered clouds, a small purple and gold crown, red sleeves sprinkled with flowers and big arrows, and a black black feather shawl outside. He looked refreshed.

Lin Daiyu also lost her joy, her eyes were dim, and she stared blankly at the door.

Jia Baoyu stepped forward and asked happily, "Sister, are you feeling better?"

Lin Daiyu didn't answer, but asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

Jia Baoyu chuckled, and then said, "I just came over from Sister Bao's side just now, just to take a look. My sister is ill again, so don't stay outside at this time."

After hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Lin Daiyu didn't react, and after thinking about it, she asked, "What's the matter with Sister Bao?"

"Brother Xue is back!" Jia Baoyu said with a smile, "I heard that he was released for the sake of Second Brother Xue."

Lin Daiyu nodded, comforting herself, he was busy enough with these things, he must be too busy to come here.But if he really knew about it, would he care about it?

But without waiting for Lin Daiyu to think about it, Jia Baoyu gave Lin Daiyu the answer directly.

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "I heard from the old lady that after sister Qin gets married, it will be the second brother Xue's turn. The person that the second brother Xue is going to marry is the only daughter of Prince Beijing, Princess Linglong."

Lin Daiyu felt as if struck by lightning, stared at Jia Baoyu, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is what you said—is it true?"

Jia Baoyu nodded. He didn't see Lin Daiyu's shock and trance at all. He just said, "Aunt Xue said the same thing. It was said that on the day sister Qin got married, King Beijing took Princess Linglong to congratulate her. Look at Mrs. Xue It looks like Princess Linglong has been appointed."

Qian Que listened to Jia Baoyu's words, but she focused on Lin Daiyu. She knew how much this incident would affect Lin Daiyu, so she held Lin Daiyu's hand and asked softly, "Miss, are you okay?"

Lin Daiyu's heart ached, she looked at Qian Que and said helplessly, "I'm in pain, my heart is in pain! Qian Que, my heart is in pain! What should I do? My heart is in pain!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Baoyu asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Sister Lin, what's the matter with you?"

"Qianque, why?" Lin Daiyu didn't shed tears, there were no tears in her eyes, only despair.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's reaction, Qian Que didn't know what to do, so she said to Xue Yan: "Xue Yan, you should hurry up and tell the old lady, go and ask Imperial Physician Liu to come over."

Xue Yan knew the situation was not good at a glance, and at this time only the doctor Liu came to help.

"Why did he? He said—he wanted—to marry me!" Lin Daiyu cried helplessly to Qian Que: "That matter—he knew."

Qian Que quickly comforted: "No, Master Hou will not be a heartless person! This matter has not been settled at all."

Not a heartless person?Lin Daiyu smiled miserably.
