The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

On the second day when Lin Ruhai was about to leave, Lin Long had already quietly prepared the chariot, horses, entourage and other things. Before Lin Ruhai left, he repeatedly asked him, "I will be back in three or four days. Yu'er has been coughing recently. Seeing her taking medicine' and so on, and 'Hugh hang out with those boys to drink and gamble, if I find out, I will punish you' and so on, Lin Long agreed one by one, and Lin Ruhai went.

It turned out that Daiyu had been exposed to some wind recently, and because of her weak constitution, she coughed a little, and she only stayed in the house for a while, and seldom went out for a walk.

If it was as usual, Lin Long must personally supervise her to take medicine and eat every day, but now she only urges the maids to deliver it on time, every time it does not fall, and the morning and evening do not come often, every time Daiyu called, the maids only replied "Young master said, I'm busy with chores at the moment, and I'll come to see the girl after I'm done." Every time I come, I just ask the girls at the door, and then leave again. Although Daiyu feels that she is gradually alienated, I didn't say much, but I was quite puzzled.

Let's say that on the third day, Daiyu's cough got better. At noon, after taking the medicine, she didn't want to go to sleep, so she played drums and passed flowers with the girls to relieve boredom, because the girls said: "This is fun only when there are many people. Why don't you ask the young master to come with the girls over there? It will be more lively." Daiyu also had this intention, so she asked someone to call.

For a while, the two little girls went to look for Lin Long's house, went there once, and came back and said: "It's so strange, the young master is not in the house at noon."

Xue Zheng and the others laughed and said, "Where is Bao Buqi hanging out with the boys? You should go to the back yard and look for him."

Daiyu smiled slightly and said: "Forget it, Xu Zheng is busy, so I don't know, let's just play with us."

The girl smiled again and said: "It's not like this. We used to go to the young master's house occasionally. Our young master has a temper. He was always afraid that things would not be found, so we didn't want the girl to clean up everything. Until later, the quilt was not folded, clothes, books, etc. , papers are everywhere, there is not even a place to stay, so I went in, but I saw that the room is not as dirty as before, everything is in order, I asked the little girl, people said it was the young master himself That’s right, it’s been so well-behaved since a few days ago, don’t you think it’s strange?”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed: "If it's true, the sun is coming out from the west."

Daiyu was stunned when she heard the words, and suddenly remembered the scene of the separation between the brothers and sisters that day, the room was suddenly cleaned up, it was sad and cold, and the saber on the wall was gone, her heart was beating a little, and she said : "You guys play first, I'll go and have a look."

Then I shook it all the way, and went to the yard, and saw that the girls were lazily running out to play, and there was silence everywhere, without a sound. I opened the door for a while, and I saw that the room was cold and clean. Seeing a small pink box on the small carved table beside the bed, it was exactly what Daiyu gave him in the past two years, and it was neatly placed there. When I opened it, it was full of things that Daiyu had given him in the past. Things, including the jade pendant worn around the neck every day, are also quietly placed on it at the moment, and four small characters are written on the yellow brocade on the box, saying that "things are, people are not".

Coincidentally, just as Lin Long came back from playing in the back, he was still playing with money strings in his hands, when he suddenly saw Daiyu standing in the room, he was startled, and laughed quickly: "My sister is here? That's why I called someone Is the boiled medicine ready to drink? Why are you standing here?"

Daiyu looked at him and said with a smile, "Why is brother so tidy? But you're going on a long trip?" Her voice was trembling, and although she was smiling, there was sadness in her eyes, which made Lin Long dare not look directly at her.

Scratching his head, he quickly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find a paper bag of tea, and said with a smile, "My son picked this tea from the mountain himself, and it took a lot of effort. My sister wants to try it?"

Daiyu looked at him for a while, then nodded with a smile, and said: "It's strange that my brother doesn't pay attention to Yu'er these days, if I dare to leave without saying goodbye, I knew it a long time ago." go.

Lin Long was stunned, and asked in a daze: "Why did my sister say that? When did I say that I was leaving?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Why do you say that, if you think it's not true, you must argue and explain it. Anyone who transfers the topic to other places must be. We have been together for a long time, how can I not see this?" ?”

Seeing that Lin Long was silent, she felt sour, so she nodded and sneered again: "I also knew my brother's heart a long time ago, but according to Yu'er, if you want to let go of this, it will be useless to keep the old things. Every time you see them, don’t you see things and think about people? Why don’t you just burn them, and then they will be clean!”

Then he picked up the box on the table, walked into the room in two or three steps, sobbing, and threw the things into the small brazier. Lin Long was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't burn it!" Although it was taken out, it was almost scalded, and a large piece of the box was burnt black. Daiyu saw that she was abrupt again, and she felt remorse suddenly, thinking about how he tried to save it, and felt lamentable, because Thinking: Since my brother is about to leave, why do you want to grab those labors?If you have to leave, why make this scene to make people more sad?

When I wanted to say something, I wanted to say it, but it was hard to say it, so I stood still, and the girl came to look for her, so I turned and went out.

It turned out that Lin Long really wanted to leave. She packed a package these days and only brought a few clothes and a little money. When Lin Ruhai came back, she found an excuse to say goodbye to him, but Daiyu saw that she didn't want to. What happened really made him have mixed feelings and thoughts. He didn't go out all afternoon, and when someone came to ask for dinner, he just said he didn't want to eat, and just sat in the room by himself until nightfall.

He still remembered that when Jia Min was dying, he tightly held the hands of his two brothers and sisters, without saying a word, which had a profound meaning.

He thought this was the best ending, and more than once, a voice whispered in his heart: It's better to go, it's better to go!But when he really wanted to leave, he realized that he couldn't part with it. Over the past few years, every corner of the house had been deeply planted in his heart and fused into his blood. Everyone, although they had various shortcomings, In his heart, they are all relatives.

He has lived too many days without family affection and warmth, but these precious things were obtained in the Lin Mansion and told him to let him go. To be honest, he was a little scared. In his heart, he had already regarded himself as Daiyu's close relative. If No, why does Daiyu's disappointing eyes and tears make him inexplicably heartbroken?

In the late night of Lin's Mansion, only the rustling of dead branches and leaves could be heard, and the room was exceptionally quiet, which instead magnified the small humming sound around her. Lin Long sat quietly on the cold ground, leaning against the wall, without lighting the lamp. Looking at the afterimages of branches swaying on the door, he was in a daze.

The moon is bright, this must be a clear night, the sky must be full of bright stars, will my sister be standing by the window at this moment, facing the star that symbolizes her mother, complaining about his broken promise ?

The shadow of the tree fluttered, ferocious as a hand, and at the moment the boy sighed quietly, a black shadow suddenly sprinted to the east.

A look of doubt flashed across Lin Long's eyes, he quickly stood up from the ground, opened the door a little, and the black figure just disappeared quickly between a row of low walls.

There is Lin Ruhai's study.
