[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

The young servant walked to He Shen's side and said to him in a low voice, "Second Master invites you to come in."

"I'm afraid I'll offend the girl in the house." He Shen said lightly.

The young man hurriedly said: "The second master said, it's okay."

Only then did He Shen move a step, and slowly stepped into the door.

As soon as Baoyu waited for him to enter the door, he unconsciously took two steps back in Daiyu's direction, as if he was terrified of He Shen, and instinctively wanted to find a safe place.

Afraid that Jia Zheng would reprimand him for breaking the rules, he muffledly called out, "Minister."

He Shen turned around and greeted Liu Quan who was behind him: "The things are presented."

Liu Quan hurriedly moved a box in.

He Shen was slightly hesitant.

He and Daiyu hadn't exchanged a few words, so how to address her became a difficult problem.In front of these people, it is natural not to be too intimate.Calling "Miss Lin" is too distant.

For the first time, He Shen became clumsy.

On the contrary, Daiyu was more generous at this time. She pushed away the Zijuan beside her, stepped forward, pointed at the box, raised her head and asked Heshen: "Can I have a look?"

"You can do it yourself."

Daiyu stretched out her hand to open the box, but she saw that there were no gold or silver jewelry inside.

Only one lamp.

At first glance, it looks a little unusual.

But the snow geese at the back were stunned, turned to Zijuan and said: "Young lady also talked about..."

Zicuckoo hurriedly pinched her.

Xueyan immediately shut up.

As for the feeling of horror, I can only suppress it in my chest.

"What a delicate lamp." Daiyu said in a low voice.

Baochai also said at this time: "It looks like a revolving lantern."

Daiyu reached out to pick up the lamp, and now she also remembered what she said in the morning.

I also remembered that when I was still in Suzhou in the early years, my mother was still there.When I went out the door, I could see those high-hanging lanterns, and the light and shadow fell on my face, and even my mother's face was not as pale as before.

That was the most beautiful scene in her memory.

Later, my mother became ill and couldn't go out of the house when it was her birthday again.

She had mentioned it to him.

She said that she didn't know when, her mother would take her out to see the lanterns again.

Then he remembered.

In a few years, he really sent a lamp.

It is more beautiful than all the lanterns I have seen in my memory.

"Bring fire." He Shen turned his head and said.

A maid hurriedly handed over the fire booklet.

He Shen pinched the fire pocket, and lit the candle placed in the lamp just like Daiyu was holding the lamp. The fire gradually lit up and the heat rose.But in the blink of an eye, the shaft started to move.The paper-cut shadows are projected on the screen, chasing each other.

Ambilight.

Beautiful.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

They have seen revolving lanterns before, but they rarely see such beautiful ones.

"I'll come." He Shen said, holding the revolving lantern in his hand.

Although he was extremely careful, his fingers still touched Daiyu inadvertently.

Others didn't notice such details, but when He Shen rubbed the delicate skin of his fingers, he felt that his fingertips seemed to be burning.

He was standing there with a revolving lantern, and because he was much taller, Daiyu had to look up.

It seems that I have returned to Gusu time overnight.

She was walking on the street, with a small stature, holding candied haws in her hands, looking up, there were countless beautiful lanterns, and the shadows of the lights interlaced with the shadows of people, and the light and shadow flowed like this.

Everyone in the room could vaguely see a story in the shadow of the paper-cut, so they were slightly fascinated by it.

For a while, no one spoke.

But no one felt wrong.

After a while, Daiyu recovered her mind.

Only then did she notice that He Shen's fingers holding the revolving lantern were as slender as jade, and they were supposed to be extraordinarily beautiful, like handicrafts.But now, some small wounds have been added to the top for some reason, and they are scattered finely.

Daiyu is so smart, she thought about it, and suddenly an incredible thought came to her.

Could it be...

Could it be that he made this thing himself?

What about the one that Baoyu destroyed earlier?

Did he do it himself?

Daiyu's heart was a little shaken, but for a moment she couldn't figure out the various emotions surging in her mind.

At this moment, Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know what kind of craftsman has such a clever idea."

He Shen lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a flat tone: "This craftsman doesn't usually do it, but when he does it, it will be different from others."

When Daiyu heard this, she felt even more indescribable.

Wasn't he going to tell her that he did it with his own hands?

Even craftsmen made it up.

Daiyu couldn't help laughing.

Following her smile, her facial features suddenly became much more flexible, and her brows and eyes became brighter. Under the lamp, people dared not look directly at her.

But He Shen caught a glimpse of her face and couldn't avoid it.

I saw that pair of eyes that were like dots of ink seemed to be soaked in water, shimmering a little bit, making it even more amazingly bright.

He Shen subconsciously thought, no matter how hard-hearted a person is, under such gazes, his heart would suddenly turn into a puddle of tenderness.

"Thank you..." Daiyu's tongue blurred, "Uncle Shi."

He Shen also smiled lightly.

He was originally handsome, but he didn't smile often. With such a smile, it was as if the ice had melted suddenly, revealing a more charming inside.

That revolving lantern was not as good-looking as his appearance.

I don't know which maid said at this time: "The food should be cold."

Only then did the temporarily stagnant atmosphere in the room be broken.

He Shen handed the lamp to Xue Yan: "Take it and put it away."

Xueyan nodded, and entered the inner room with a lamp.

Jia Zheng finally felt relieved, and said with a smile, "So, brother Zhizhai can rest assured."

He Shen nodded.

In front of Jia Zheng, no one had ever dared to do anything wrong, and it was the same now.Therefore, the atmosphere in the room is always a little weird.

Seeing this, He Shen naturally didn't want to make Daiyu's birthday lifeless.

I'm afraid it's inconvenient to stay any longer.

He looked at Daiyu again and said, "When I saw you before, you were still young, so I'm afraid you won't remember me."

Daiyu's eyes widened slightly, and she wanted to say, I remember.

But before the words came out, He Shen said again: "I have grown up now. Your father is the censor of Yangzhou patrolling salt, and you were born in the Lin family of Gusu. Naturally, you don't lack the gold and silver of the lintel, let alone the poems and books." tolerance."

These words are not only for Daiyu to hear, but also for others to hear.

Just let them all keep in mind that Daiyu was never a poor relative who came to Rongguo Mansion to play the autumn wind.

Her father is a member of a party, and her family is a well-known family in Gusu, and she is also a girl who was held in the palm of her hand since she was a child.

"I only wish you peace and happiness from now on." He Shen said in a low voice.

"En." Daiyu responded in a low voice.She stared at him, and for some reason, she felt a little sour in her eyes.

Jia Zheng said: "Since the food is getting cold, I ordered the mansion to make a new table and put it in the courtyard. Let's move out here."

A maid answered, and hurriedly sent a message.

"Let's go." He Shen said.

Jia Zheng nodded, and sent He Shen to turn around and leave.

Daiyu looked at his figure and stepped out of the door.

"Wait a minute." Daiyu said out loud.

"But what else is there?" Jia Zheng turned to ask her, but he was very patient.

Daiyu turned around, picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine, and handed it to He Shen who had already stepped outside the door: "Since Uncle Shi congratulated me on my birthday, I should also offer a glass of wine to Uncle Shi, otherwise it would be disrespectful."

The corner of He Shen's mouth curled, took the wine glass, and drank it down.

His movements are neat and crisp, and he is even more indescribably good-looking.

Where have the female relatives in Jia's mansion seen such a man?

All the while his eyes were burning.

"Go back, it's getting late, the wind is blowing outside, don't catch the cold." He Shen whispered.

He has a nice voice.

He is cold and abstinent on weekdays, as if it is difficult for anyone to cause him the slightest fluctuation.But when the voice is softer at this moment, it is more like whispering softly to people, scratching people's hearts one by one.

Daiyu nodded, took a wine glass from Zijuan, and drank it.

Almost immediately, a blush appeared on her cheeks.

He Shen glanced across her face, returned the wine glass to her, and then left with Jia Zheng.

Naturally, Baoyu was also taken away.

Their figures are really far away now, gradually blurring and disappearing completely.

"I met once a few days ago, but it's not like today." Xichun tilted his head and said, "The man in the house always talks about how handsome he is, how talented he is, how young but already in power...I didn't know until today, so it turns out This is what it looks like."

Tanchun also laughed and said, "When I never met him before, I still thought he was an old-looking man, with an unattractive appearance."

Baochai smiled and said: "I also heard from my mother how this man was favored by girls in the middle of Beijing."

Tanchun lowered his eyes and said, "It's just that no matter how good-looking he is, no matter how powerful he is, it's not something I can imagine."

Xichun smiled softly, and there was a bit of sarcasm in the smile: "Who knows what kind of pig, dog, cattle and sheep we will marry in the future."

She never expected her father to treat her well and choose a good family for her.

Born in such a family, girls are more like objects.

At this time, Daiyu turned around and sat down.

The others didn't want to disturb her interest, so they stopped mentioning those frustrating words one after another, and just smiled and said: "Look at the way he treats Sister Lin, the girl who marries him in the future should be blessed."

"Exactly."

A few sisters sat together and chatted for a while about other people's stories, and also brought out the funny things in the house, and then waited for the new table to be replaced.

They ate and drank some wine.

In a blink of an eye, it is the branch on the moon.

The crowd dispersed.

The maids and women cleared the table.

But Daiyu gathered her cloak and asked someone to hang the revolving lantern on the eaves outside the window.

As long as the window is open, she can see it at a glance.

At this time, the room was very quiet.

Zijuan also looked up at the revolving lantern, and couldn't help saying in a low voice: "That young master is really hardworking."

You can send gold, silver and jewelry from the imperial court, and you can also send books and picture albums that you like, and now you even remember to send some small things...

It is good to say that Second Master Bao treats the sisters and maids in the mansion well.

But this ratio has been greatly reduced.

Second Master Bao is used to saying nice things, caring about this and that, and never seeing any other actions after talking.

At this time Xueyan came in, pointed to the revolving lantern and said, "I don't know if he has a way to read minds, why does he know what our girl is thinking?"

"Maybe it's because they have a good heart." After Zijuan said, she laughed.

This time Daiyu didn't scold her with a smile, she just laughed and asked someone to fetch water to wash.

This is a rare and happy birthday after her mother passed away.

This day is really a good day.

The author has something to say: He Shen: I didn't do the pretending.
