Dream of Red Mansions: Hydrating Crimson Pearl

He turned around, adjusted the sound a bit, then stretched his slender fingers lightly, and started to play.It is a song "The Wild Goose Falls on the Pingsha".Yuan Chun sat down and listened quietly. The ethereal and graceful sound of the piano seemed to outline a scene in front of her eyes of a crisp autumn, calm wind and flat sand, thousands of miles of clouds, and flying sounds in the sky.For a while, Yuan Chun was immersed in this ethereal beauty and couldn't extricate himself. He really admired Daiyu's superb piano skills. Although the technique of this piece is not the most difficult in the piano score, what is rare is that Daiyu used her superb and skillful fingering skills. The interpretation of this piece of music is so good that people fall into infinite reverie while the sound of the piano is lingering.This is far from being within the reach of three or five years of skill, but it is due to Daiyu's extraordinary talent.

Seeing Yuan Chun's silence, Daiyu didn't know what he meant, so she smiled and said, "Sister, my sister doesn't play well, she's making a fool of herself. Please ask my sister to stroke a piece too, so that my sister can learn from it."

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "Sister, don't be so modest. My sister's piano skills are far behind my sister's. How dare I play the axe?"

Daiyu pretended to be angry and said: "Sister, what is the point of this, just now my sister said that playing the piano is for fun, why are you so particular about playing the piano now?

Yuan Chun smiled and said: "You girl, you are really powerful, you are really extraordinary! Well, let me make a fool of myself for a while." After finishing speaking, he sat down and stroked the strings of the qin, and played "Ancient Grudge".The sound of the song was like weeping and complaining, mourning and complaining, which clearly gave people the meaning of "a beautiful woman is unlucky, and a beautiful woman is late". Daiyu couldn't help being stunned, she left her hometown and her parents. What about mourning?

Just when Daiyu was wondering, she suddenly heard a boy's voice from outside the door, "Why didn't you tell me about the distinguished guests? Today, I'm the only one going to school alone. You are all happy at home. I don't want to do it. Find the old lady for reason!" While talking, a boy of eleven or twelve years old came in, and saw that he was wearing a purple gold crown with hair tied on his head, and his eyebrows were tied with two dragons and pearls to wipe his forehead. Wearing a two-color gold hundred butterfly wearing red arrow sleeves with flowers, a stone blue Japanese satin fringe jacket on the outside, and small green satin powder-soled court boots.Looking at his face, you can see that his pink face is full of affection, his eyes are like spring water, and he has a good appearance.It's just that the powder gas is too thick, and the masculinity is too short.I also saw the golden Chi Yingluo on his neck, and a five-color silk ribbon underneath, tied with a piece of beautiful jade.Daiyu knew that this was the cousin who was born with a jade in his mouth. Seeing this, she couldn't help but think of when she came to the mansion when she was four years old, this cousin held her hand and said she must have seen it somewhere. Seeing that he has no jade, he must give that piece of jade to himself.

At the same time, Baoyu was also looking at Daiyu, and saw that her eyebrows were like Daiyu on distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water with waves, her demureness was like delicate flowers shining in the water, and her movements seemed to be weak and supportive.This otherworldly appearance is far more amiable than it was six years ago.

Yuan Chun said: "You, you always act rashly. My sisters and sisters at home are used to it. Today, sister Lin came from afar. You should restrain yourself."

Daiyu hurriedly stood up, bent slightly, and said a blessing.But Baoyu stepped forward and grabbed Daiyu's hand and said, "I said that I was an old acquaintance with my sister. Today, we should celebrate our reunion after a long absence. It's just at noon, because I go to school and I'm alone. If you leave me alone, why not just put wine in my room at night, and I will take care of my sister."

Daiyu said apologetically, "I don't dare to trouble Brother Bao."

Yuan Chun also said: "Wait a minute, sister Lin is the heart of the old lady now, even if you take the wind, it will not be your turn. In the future, you need to be more careful, now the old lady loves you You have to give half of it to Sister Lin. You'd better focus on your studies, lest when your father asks you about the book, you can't answer it, so you use the old lady as a shield. You should know that the old lady only has half of it now. My heart is in your hands."

As soon as Baoyu heard this, her face immediately darkened. Seeing him like this, Daiyu suddenly couldn't bear it, she stepped forward and said softly: "Brother Bao, you don't have to be like this. You must know that this is also a joke that Big Sister is coaxing you. How can you take it seriously? Besides, you are the grandson of the old lady's close relative, how can her old man ignore you?"

After hearing this, Baoyu smiled and said, "Sister Lin is the one who speaks heartily, but you, the eldest sister, have too little love for my brother."

Seeing Baoyu say this, Yuanchun was not angry, but only cast a reproachful glance at him, and sat down on a chair beside him. Now that Yuanchun's maid, Gongsha, was serving tea, Baodai and Baodai sat down too, and they were there for a while. People chatted some gossip again, but there is nothing to remember.

The eighth round Wang Xifeng praised Lin Daiyu

Yuanchun, Daiyu and Baoyu talked and laughed together, and it was time for dinner again. A girl came to say that the old lady had passed the meal, and the three went hand in hand to Jiamu's courtyard.

When the three of them arrived at the main hall, they saw more than a dozen servants busy in and out, and all kinds of delicate dishes were put on the dining table carved with nanmu.Jia Mu was leaning on the couch in the middle of the hall. When she saw the three of them, she immediately smiled and called, "Baoyu, Daiyu, come and sit here." After that, she sat up straight. body.

Daiyu and Baoyu hurried over and sat down beside Jiamu, Yuan Chun quietly stood in front of Jiamu's bed, and Yuanyang moved a round stool beside Jiamu, and invited Yuanchun to sit down.

Jia's mother asked Baoyu, "Baoyu, how is your sister?"

Baoyu said happily: "I always say that I am a blessed one. There are so many good sisters and sisters in my family. Today I meet this fairy-like sister again. I really don't know where I got my luck. Now I only hope that my sister can be good." Stay in this mansion for a long time, and be with me every day!"

Jia Mu smiled and turned to Daiyu again, "Daiyu, how is your brother Bao?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Brother Bao is naturally very good. He treats me like my own sister. From now on, my younger sister will rely on my elder brother to take care of me in Jia's residence!"

Seeing that the two of them got along so harmoniously, Jia's mother couldn't help being elated, and thought for a moment that it would be even better if the two children could get closer.

"Oh, I'm late, I didn't welcome the distinguished guest!" A voice like a silver bell came, and Daiyu couldn't help but looked up, and saw a woman dressed in gold and richly walking over with lotus steps. , the whole body is dressed differently from Yuan Chun and other sisters, with golden hair pins on the head, pearls in a bun, silk wrapping around the body, and jade belts around the waist. The whole body is indescribably gorgeous and rich.Looking at his appearance, he is somewhat similar to Mrs. Wang, with willow leaf eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, but his looks are several times higher than Mrs. Wang's, and his wit is stronger than Mrs. Wang's.Daiyu hurriedly thought about it, but she didn't remember who it was, so she slowly stood up, and when she wanted to salute, she was stopped by Jia Mu, and said, "You don't know her, she is one of us. This famous pungent family is known as Feng Lazi!" After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed endlessly.

Daiyu didn't dare to echo her words and smile, and didn't know what to do for a while, so Tanchun came over and whispered in her ear: "This is Lian's second brother's daughter-in-law—Wang Xifeng, we call her Sister Feng or Lian's second brother. Sister-in-law. Daiyu gave a gift of blessings and called Lian's second sister-in-law.

But Sister Feng grabbed Daiyu affectionately, looked at her from head to toe carefully, and praised: "Oh, it's an eye-opener for me to see such a beautiful person in the world. How old is my sister?" Why do you look so good-looking? I would like to ask what panacea my aunt gave you to make you such a caring person?"

She kept asking questions like a cannonball until Daiyu didn't know which one to answer.

Jia Mu pointed with her finger and said: "You really answered that sentence. You speak like a cannonball. Your sister has just arrived. Don't scare her with your aggressive appearance."

Baoyu came over and said, "Sister Lin, don't be afraid. Sister Feng is the most ancient and warm-hearted person. If you have something to do, just tell her."

Sister Feng squinted her phoenix eyes to look at Jia Mu and said with a smile: "Oh, I just think there is nowhere to complain about the injustice at the bottom of the sea, and I should die, and there is a brother Bao who speaks for me!"

When Jia Mu heard something in her words, she pretended to be angry and said, "you girl, can you say that I wronged you?"

Sister Feng hurriedly walked a few steps to Jiamu's side, beat her back and waist and said: "Even if the old lady gave me eight courages, I wouldn't dare to blame the old lady! It's just that I met Sister Lin, who is like a water onion." , I love it like something, I only hate that I have too much time in the morning and didn't welcome my sister."

Mother Jia liked what she said, but just now she was just pretending to vomit her to coax herself. Seeing her like this now, she hid her angry face and laughed happily.

At that time, all the meals were ready, and Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing also came to the main hall. After Daiyu visited them one by one, Jia Mu called everyone to sit down and prepare for dinner.Naturally, Daiyu and Baoyu took the right seats with Jia Mu, and Yuanchun's sisters also sat down in turn.Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng sat at another table.Next to the two tables were seven or eight servants serving dishes one by one. The scene was magnificent, and the richness of the food could be called luxury.

At noon, Daiyu had experienced the extraordinary wealth of Jia's mansion, and she never thought that this dinner would be so extravagant. She couldn't help but think of the victims who fled the famine and came to Gusu City the year before last. I don’t know how many victims have been rescued by Zhang Congee Shed. Now it seems that one meal at my grandmother’s house is enough for those victims to eat for three days.

During the banquet, Mother Jia was afraid that Daiyu would come from home and would not be used to the food here for a while, so she would ask Daiyu quietly from time to time.Daiyu didn't like such a ostentatious meal at first, and in Gusu City, the Lin Mansion could be said to be Qu
