Melting love and rhyme make up the red building

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of autumn again, and the sky gradually cooled down.In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu had put on the stove early and was sitting at the table reading in a lavender satin coat.

When the door curtain was lifted, Zijuan walked in from outside the house, but there was a trace of tension in the originally bright and warm eyes.Seeing that Daiyu didn't lift her head, she said, "Zijuan, go and get the 'Wang Mojie Anthology' from the left hand side on the third shelf." Still have time to read poetry? Now the palace is in chaos!"

After hearing this, Daiyu raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Zijuan, and said softly: "My mother is sick, who in the house is not sad? I think she has been living alone in the palace without her relatives all these years, although she is extremely honorable. I can't escape loneliness in the end. It's like myself, living here under the fence of others, suffering from gossip, even if I am always cautious and dare not say a word wrongly, if this is the case, is it still a subject to be talked about and ridiculed by others?"

Zijuan heard that Daiyu was getting involved with her again, so she had to laugh and persuade: "Talk about the lady in the palace, why did you get involved with the girl again? In this mansion, although it is not as good as being in my own home, there is an old lady who loves her here. The sisters are also kind, no matter what, they are better than the empress alone in the palace, right?"

Daiyu put down the stove in her hand, closed the book again, stood up gracefully, and walked to the bed, Zijuan hurriedly followed her to help her sit down.

After a long time, Daiyu raised her beautiful eyes, which became moist: "How far away from her parents is, there are always relatives who miss her, but I am separated by life and death, and there is no hope for missing relatives!" Closing his eyes, a line of crystal tears slipped down quietly.

Zijuan never thought that he would make the girl sad with a single word, so she persuaded: "Why bother to come, the girl is better. Others don't say, although Zijuan is a slave, she is looked down upon by the girl, and she has always regarded Zijuan as her sister and relative. Treat it normally. Regardless of others, Zijuan will always follow the girl for the rest of her life from now on and never leave."

Daiyu said to Zijuan with tears in her eyes: "You are still from the old lady now. I will ask the old lady to come here in a few days, and you will be regarded as a member of my Lin family, okay?" Zijuan said happily: " Zijuan can't wait for it!" He took the handkerchief and tried tears for Daiyu.

"Is Miss Lin in the house?" someone called out from the yard.

Then Xueyan responded, "it's sister Ping'er. The girl is in the room." Then she raised her voice to the room and said, "girl, it's sister Ping'er who is here." The curtain was drawn again.

Ping'er came in and greeted Daiyu, then smiled and said, "Miss, it's warmer here, the wind blowing outside is really cold." Daiyu stood up and said to Zijuan beside her, "Why don't you invite Ping'er?" Sister, sit down?"

Zijuan laughed and said, "She's always been busy, how can she have the time to sit down and rest?" As she spoke, she made gestures to move the chair.

When Daiyu was about to speak, Ping'er quickly waved her hands and said with a smile: "Sister Zicuckoo is right! This servant is just here to pass on a message, and your aunt's nephew came to say goodbye, saying that he will go back to Suzhou soon. Because the old lady and the two wives have entered the palace, only our grandma and the second master are in charge of the house, and the young master Xiao is accompanied by the second master! Please go ahead, girl."

Daiyu heard that Young Master Xiao came to bid farewell, thinking that she was not her close relative, although she felt close because of Aunt Xiao, but she was not from the Lin family, so she didn't want to show her face in front of her again, and said in her mouth: "It's still annoying. Sister Ping'er has gone back, but I still can't go through."

Ping'er laughed and said: "Young master Xiao returned to Suzhou and he is not sure when he will come to the capital. Besides, there is the girl's aunt, does the girl have something to say to her? Why don't you send a letter to reassure Aunt Xiao?"

Daiyu showed her face and smiled: "What my sister said is true, please wait a moment." Then, she ordered Zijuan to get a pen and ink, and then she put an envelope and handed it to Ping'er.Ping'er answered with a smile and went to the front to answer.

Here Zicuckoo tentatively asked: "Girl, I heard that Mr. Xiao has passed the exam, why do you want to go back?" Daiyu said with a smile: "Does anyone who passes the exam have to stay in the capital to be an official?"

Zijuan also said with a smile, "Your maidservants don't understand these things and only ask." Daiyu didn't answer, but just smiled.Zijuan didn't know what was going on in her girl's mind, so she stopped talking and went out to bring hot tea to Daiyu.

But after a cup of tea, Ping'er returned to Daiyu's place with an extra burden on his hands.

As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Zijuan will follow quickly."

Zijuan hurriedly took it with a smile and said, "Sister, please run again." Daiyu said to Zijuan, "Go and pour a cup of tea for sister Pinger." Zijuan hurriedly put down the things and poured another one. The tea came and passed to Ping'er.

Ping'er quickly thanked him and took it over with a smile: "The maidservant only said that the girl is a little tired recently, and it is inconvenient to come out to meet guests, so she gave the letter to Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao said that he would hand over the letter to his aunt. Let the girl be better. Rest, he will leave the capital early tomorrow morning, and hand over this burden to the girl, saying that it is a few good inks bought in Liulichang. Alright! This servant has something to go back to Second Mistress, so I will go back first."

Daiyu said, "Thank you so much, sister." For a while, Ping'er returned without mentioning it.

After Ping'er left, Daiyu ordered Zijuan to open the bundle. After seeing that they were all exquisite ornaments and some high-quality ink, Zijuan looked at it and said with a smile: "This young man is very careful, knowing that the girl is a lover of reading." Those who wrote poems and books sent these inks to the girl, but I don’t know that the girl doesn’t like these vulgar objects and ornaments!”

Daiyu said: "It doesn't matter what it is, it's always someone's kindness, so you can put it away. It's just that I should also bring something to him. It's for Aunt Xiao, but I forgot."

Zijuan said with a smile: "The girl is too careful. It's not that Mr. Xiao won't come. He may come to the capital again. It's not too late for the girl to give it to him." Then she took another letter and said with a smile : "Look, girl, here's another letter!"

Daiyu took it, opened it, looked at it, closed it again and said, "Put it in there too." Then she said nothing.

Zijuan asked: "But it's about letting the girl go back to Suzhou?"

Daiyu said lightly: "It's just that if I need his help in the future, I can go to his residence in the capital. There will be servants from his family who are always in the capital, so I can send messages to him at any time."

After hearing this, Zijuan curled his lips and said: "Mr. Xiao is very thoughtful, but what can the girl ask him for?"

Daiyu looked up at her and said, "Everything is unpredictable! Forget it, put it away quickly, I'm tired too." Then she lay down on the bed.
