The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy
Chapter 48: The Flower Realm 2 Crazy
It is said that there is no one named Daiyu as a little girl, and it happened that a person named Mo Qiao came in to help. Seeing that she was different from other girls, Daiyu was puzzled, so she looked at Moqiao twice more, pretending to be unintentional, and asked some casual questions. Mo Qiao only said that he was kidnapped by a kidnapper since he was a child, and most of them "don't remember". After hearing this, Daiyu didn't reason. Because she felt weak, she lay on the bed and asked Mo Qiao to get a copy. The book is called "Ziwei Notes".
Mo Qiao went to the bookshelf and flipped through it. Suddenly, his hand paused, feeling that Daiyu was watching beside him, and he quickly pulled out a copy of "Selected Poems of Thatched Cottage". This isn't it?"
Daiyu took it with a faint smile, and said 'thank you', Moqiao pointed to something, bowed his head and left, walked to the door, bumped into someone, and apologized hurriedly.
Lin Long came in suspiciously, looked at Daiyu strangely, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? That little girl's face is so red?"
Seeing Daiyu turn her face away, she thought for a while, then fiddled with her hair and clothes in front of the mirror, and murmured: "It's not that I'm dressed like this today, is it too glamorous? Even you have been tricked."
When Daiyu saw him, Benyin suddenly remembered what happened last night, and she was a little shy. When she heard this, she couldn't help laughing. Seeing his description, she obviously didn't know what she said or did yesterday, maybe it was in a dream , I don't know, I also faded away, and then frowned and said intently: "I don't know why, I saw her talking and behaving like a big family, unlike those girls from small households, in short, she is a bit weird."
Lin Long turned her head and glared: "No way? Could it be another copy of Xiangling? Or someone who endured the humiliation of the former royal family and worked as a sweeping girl in our house, only waiting for an opportunity to steal information in order to 'anti-Qing and restore the Ming', then But it's big."
Daiyu was weak, and said with a smile: "It's more and more nonsense, this is impossible."
Lin Long looked at Daiyu's complexion in the mirror, and asked, "Why doesn't your face look right? Are you sick?" Then she came and sat on the edge of the bed, stroking her head with her hand, and then touching her own, and it turned out that she was a little hot.
Then he frowned and asked, "How did you get sick? Have you taken any medicine?"
Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile: "It's just that I caught a cold yesterday, you just go with your own, why are you dawdling here, anyway, I have a girl."
Lin Long didn't say much, and put a cushion on the edge of the bed for Daiyu to lean on. She came down and rummaged through the small medicine cabinet, then went to pour water, and said to herself, "I don't blame the second sister-in-law for saying that you It’s a beauty lamp, it can be broken by the wind, and it’s only been a few days since you’ve recovered, and you’re sick again, and your physique is so poor, who will want you in the future? Maybe I have to be kind, and I can’t hurt others.”
Daiyu babbled endlessly, but couldn't hear clearly, angry and funny, she said angrily, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Long hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? I'm reviewing history here."
Then he walked over and said with a smile: "Now I watch other people compile books and hang out with them, and the ink in my stomach is getting more and more. Those things from ancient times to the present are just a series of words, but whatever happens to me, what I think and what I think It was very different before, as if the whole person, even the soul, was much deeper."
Daiyu took the medicine and took it, rinsed her mouth again, and couldn't help smiling when she heard what he said, because she asked, "What book are you making?"
Lin Long smiled and said: "The new outline of the history of the Five Dynasties is different from other history books. This group of literati said that they should 'try to get close to the historical facts and evaluate objectively'. I am a nominal supervisor. Don't frown. This is a great honor. Just imagine that there will be descendants in the future, if we take out this authoritative book from the bookshelf and say that we participated in the operation of a certain process at that time, wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing?”
Daiyu said: "Brother is messing around, can history books be made up?"
Lin Long smiled and said: "Citizens should have freedom of speech, why can't they make it up? In fact, they hesitated at the beginning, wondering if it was feasible, and I encouraged them before they dared. You don't know, most of the people here are talented. , like Fu Qiuhuai, Pang Zhiliu, Nie Qing, Long Yuxian, Shangguan Yunjing, etc., everyone is a thousand-mile horse, but they can't meet Bole. If it's a coincidence and they have to serve Mingjun, there is no guarantee that they are not Guan Zhong. Le Yi and others, when I was with them, chatting and asking for advice, I always felt that they were the boundless sky, the vast night sky, and I was an inconspicuous star in it. This kind of spiritual realm is so amazing and so victorious, it makes people yearn for it, and I really wish I could die immediately, or turn into dust and ashes, and become one with it!"
Daiyu has never seen him say something with such high spirits, his eyes are bright and full of energy, it is very different from the conversation scene in the past, even she is a little moved, she was full of words, but now it is hard to say, she just bowed her head Listening, she nodded with a faint smile, and finally said: "Although I have never seen it in person, I understand what brother said. I can't stop what you like. I just hope you will be more cautious in your actions. I don't really think about the honor and glory on you, I just want you to be safe and sound, that's the best thing, and I'm also relieved." After speaking, she turned her head away and drew patterns on the bed with her fingers.
When Lin Long saw her, her face gradually became quieter and softer. After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "I know what you mean. Since you think so, I won't be the so-called supervisor, and I won't interfere in this matter. I'll just be a bystander. Or, while watching, is this the head office?"
Daiyu's face was bright red, she didn't say a word, she smiled slightly, and suddenly saw Jin Xi'er, the little girl from Yinxiang's office, came running and said: "Finally, the second master has been caught."
Lin Long smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry, what are you doing?"
Jin Xi'er smiled and said, "Our master told him to come back early in the evening and go find him."
Lin Long asked what was the matter, Jin Xi'er smiled and said, "We don't know, as long as the second master came back early."
Lin Long agreed, and said a few more words to Daiyu here, some words of advice, and seeing that it was getting late, she went out and did not show up for the time being.
Seeing that Jin Xi'er was still standing at the door, Daiyu asked, "Is there anything else?"
Jin Xi'er hurriedly smiled and said, "Our master asked me to ask how the girl feels today."
Daiyu smiled and said, "Fortunately, go back and tell me, 'Thank you for your trouble'."
Jin Xi'er took a look at Daiyu's complexion, then ran away, and when she was about to make an appointment with Xiao Zhuxiang, Xueyan came back with a small gold box in her arms, first looked around the room, came over and said with a smile: "It's a strange way, It turns out that there is no girl in the yard."
Then he smiled at Daiyu and said, "I just saw Lord Thirteen walking up and down at the door with his hands behind his back. I don't know what it means. When he saw me, he put this thing in my hand and said, 'Give it to you girls. One morning and one night, wash once', I was wondering, only now did I realize that these little hooves have slipped out, and Lord Thirteen is just waiting under the sun."
Daiyu saw that the box was small and delicate, but it was embroidered with brocades and satins. She expected it to be something from the palace. She was grateful and asked, "Can he go?"
Xueyan said: "Yes, I left after I gave the things."
Daiyu nodded and said nothing, because she had just finished taking the medicine, she asked Xueyan to let it go. She was tired this day, and when the sisters came to call, they all excused themselves because they were not well. They rested in the room, and others did not disturb Baoyu and Baochai came to see each other, and Daiyu pretended to be asleep, unwilling to deal with it. Then Baoyu asked the girl in a low voice outside, and he had to give instructions, and Baochai only asked Daiyu to tell her. After saying it, he left without mentioning it.
It is said that Lin Long is still busy with miscellaneous things this day. Because Yinxiang told her to return early, she deliberately pushed two banquets, and came back after going to the county government to do some handover. A local tyrant, the county magistrate turned black and white, ordered them to be beaten, and then sent to prison. Lin Long couldn't see it, so he helped mediate for a while, and said a lot of good things. After letting them go back, Lin Long saw that they were pitiful again, and took some money from him as a gift.
After this delay, it was already dark, and they walked half an alley, and came to the main entrance of Xiangyun Pavilion, and saw a few more boys at the door, all of them well dressed, there were boys from Xiangyun Pavilion, who knew Lin Long well, He came forward to pick up the horse, and said with a smile, "The Thirteenth Master has been waiting for the Second Master for a long time, why did the Second Master come back?"
Lin Long asked, "Who's here?"
The boy hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Fourth Master."
Lin Long frowned: "Where is the fourth master?"
The kid chuckled, and said: "Ming'er, the second master doesn't even recognize our master? Which fourth master is there? Of course it is the fourth elder brother in the palace. He is talking to our master right now. Second master Go in quickly, Lord Thirteen has sent people out to investigate several times."
Lin Longfang knew that it was Yinzhen who had come, and felt a little surprised in her heart, and without asking the boy to tell, she went in quietly, and saw two shadowy figures with lights on in the attic, one could vaguely see that one of them was Yinxiang, and the two The people were very close, obviously they were talking about something confidential at the moment, Lin Long didn't go in when she saw this, she sat outside in the stone pavilion for a while, and played with the puppy again.
After a while, I heard a sound of singing, intermittent, mixed with laughter, and one or two sentences became louder, and floated into Lin Long's ears. I couldn't help wondering, because I thought: Others hold their voices and hold their breath. What kind of girl is this, even with the fourth master here, she is so presumptuous and helpless, and she sings alone. My brother is the most face-to-face, if she knows, she may not be spared lightly.
I was also curious, wanted to see who it was, and gave her a warning, and followed the voice, walked from the small aisle with flowers to the back, but saw a square garden of flowers and trees behind, with two branches and leaves on the edge of the garden. The big tree that covers the sky hides a small courtyard, which is the place where the girls live. At this moment, the door there is wide open, and Lin Long sees a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl wearing clothes there through the shadow of the light. She wore a set of costumes and water sleeves, and she was babbling and singing. There were three or four little girls who saw that she was acting like a fool, fearing that Yinxiang would know, so she pushed her and booed her in a hurry. Unable to subdue her, she sang more and more happily, her cheeks flushed.
Lin Long identified it once, and remembered that this girl was Yinxiang's big girl named Ruoxing. She laughed and wondered in her heart, and said to herself: I can't think of such a serious, proud and self-respecting girl like her. Faint side?If it's not drunk and chaotic, then it's the wrong medicine, right?It's so strange.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the girl beside him laughing and said: "Second Master, don't watch the fun, Thirteenth Master heard that Second Master is back, let him come in."
Seeing the invitation, Lin Long put aside the excitement here, and followed suit after getting dressed.
I met Yinzhen and others for a while, but Lin Long saw that he hadn't seen each other in the past few months. Yinzhen became more and more thin and refreshed, calm and stable, so he just sat silently and sipped tea, and there was a kind of self-confidence born from within. The calm and calm air made people dare not be disrespectful, and he secretly praised Lin Long, and Yinzhen also saw that Lin Long was far from what he was when they met last time, his speech and demeanor were mostly deliberately carved to be serious and mature, but more A little natural and unhurried, with ease, he also secretly marveled at his sharp mind and extraordinary comprehension, because of a smile, he said: "I heard that you have become an official, so congratulations."
Lin Long smiled modestly and said: "Fourth Master is laughing at me. How can I be an official? But thanks to the emperor's grace, the Holy One's favor, and Fourth Master's love, I got a position in vain. It's just a little bit of waste heat for the common people. Relying on Thirteenth Brother's regular guidance, we will not discredit the officialdom and embarrass Fourth Master."
After Yinzhen heard this, he chuckled, and cast his eyes to Yinxiang. Yinxiang also smiled, and looked at Lin Long meaningfully. Lin Long understood, "You kid, you know how to flatter. Don't fall yet'.
Lin Long ignored him, and said with a smile: "Is the fourth master here on business, or to relax? If it's on business, we don't dare to bother you too much. If it's for a trip, the official said that we must not be a host. , Please invite fourth master to have fun for a few days. I often hear thirteenth master say that fourth master is a drinker. The face is fine."
Yinzhen put down his teacup, waved his hands and smiled: "Forget it, just forget it, because I want to avoid drinking and avoiding banquets, so I came all the way in a private way. If I eat and drink a lot, I don't care about others, and I won't talk to you either." Lie, I'm a famous person who 'drinks a glass' and 'doesn't get drunk after a thousand glasses', you believe his nonsense!" Several people laughed when he said that, Yinxiang hurriedly said: "My fourth brother is going to go to Jiangnan, I have business to do, so I can't stand your banquet for the time being, and save it, let's talk about it next time."
After listening to what the two said, Lin Long vaguely guessed a few points, and quickly agreed without asking any more questions. Seeing that it was getting late, Yinzhen got up and wanted to go. Yinxiang repeatedly invited him to stay, but Yinzhen refused. Just say, "This is already eye-catching enough, and then tossing up and down the tea and drinking places alarmed Jia's mansion, and it was another vain response, which is very annoying. A quiet place has been arranged over there, and I have been tossing around for a day." Now, let's take a rest in peace', Yinxiang was not very strong, and sent Lin Long out with him, and Fang came back after watching the distance.
Here the two were sitting idle in the gazebo under the moon, Lin Long crossed his legs, stood on tiptoe, and said with a smile: "He doesn't eat, drink or play, what do you want me, a 'ready-made copper merchant', to come back to?" ?”
Yinxiang smiled and said: "You are smart, you can't hide anything from you! I really think that it will be good for you if we have a meal together. Maybe you will take out those good things that you have treasured on weekdays for everyone to benefit from, and you will give birth to me." Brother is in a hurry this time, and I’m not in the mood, you’ve got a lot of money.”
Lin Long asked, "What's the matter? It's so mysterious. Can you tell me?"
Yinxiang said: "If it was someone else, I would naturally not tell him, who is you. My fourth brother is going to investigate Xu Zuyin, a corrupt official in the south of the Yangtze River, but he is passing by here, so come and stop here for a while."
Lin Long said: "I thought who it was, it turned out to be a corrupt official, it's just such a small matter, how about his elder brother to investigate in person? It's a casual dress, and it doesn't let others know, it's too talented, right?"
Yinxiang smiled lightly and said: "You don't know, things are complicated here. On the surface, Xu Zuyin is a big corrupt official. In fact, there is a criss-crossed official website of corruption behind him, one behind the other, one connected with the other, and deeply rooted. Why do you think the people in the south of the Yangtze River are always making trouble now? Why do the courts send people to subdue them, always press down on one side, and then rise up on the other side? The root cause is that the people can't stand the heavy and harsh tax oppression and exploitation, and the officials can't stand it. The common people have always been able to bear with rip off layer by layer, unless they can't survive, then they revolted."
Lin Long hurriedly nodded to show her understanding. Yinxiang walked to the side of the vine with his hands behind his back, and said: "Now there are more and more Iron Fist officials in the court, represented by my starling, and many people want to lead troops to quell the chaos. The mob is suppressed, but you think, if the root cause cannot be resolved, it is a long-term strategy to rely on the iron fist policy against the people, even if they temporarily fear and submit? Once the grievances are heavy, another uprising will definitely be a larger-scale rebellion. Not to mention the strength of my fourth brother alone, even the elite and capable people of the whole dynasty may not be able to stop the turbulent torrent at that time."
Lin Long frowned silently, and after a long while, she said: "I also heard that Jiangnan was hit by a disaster, and many people were left homeless, why not..." Lin Long wanted to say, "I'd better donate some money", but when the words came to her mouth, After several turns, it turned into: "Why don't I put a few donation boxes in the garden and everywhere tomorrow, so that everyone can join in and donate money."
Yin Xiang burst out laughing, turned his head and pointed at him, and said, "Be careful! Don't think that I'm talking about other corrupt officials. I don't know what you usually do! You are a fake official, and those petty officials are so dirty. Don’t you exploit less? Your pockets are full, and now you take out some money to save people, and you feel distressed? You also asked the girls to contribute to donate money, thanks to what you said, to return the emperor’s favor Hao Dang, the Holy Majesty favors me, I blush for you!"
Lin Long's eyes widened, and she said in a strange voice: "Who exploited them? The conscience of heaven and earth, someone is jealous and slandered me!"
Yinxiang nodded bitterly and smiled: "I still don't admit it, okay, then let me ask you, who posted a notice in the black market in private, clearly marking the price of my things? The old gown is 500 taels, and the new gown is 300 taels. The hand stove I have touched is 1000 taels, the handwriting I wrote is 200 taels a pair, and there are flowers, grass, cups and plates in my yard. You are willing to sell them as long as someone can give you a higher price. Lost all day long? I got up early that day and found that a button was missing from my clothes. After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that it was you practicing sword with me that day, pretending to miss it, and selling it! You still pretend!"
Lin Long was tongue-tied, seeing that she couldn't hide it, she suddenly said with a playful smile: "I'm not trying to get money, but those people really worship your thirteenth elder brother so much that they can't see you at once, so I begged grandpa to tell grandma At least I can find something for them, you know that I am the most charitable person, I don’t want others to cry in front of me..."
Yinxiang's teeth were sore when he heard this, and he reached out his hand to stop him, and said with a light smile: "Forget it, I don't wear this high hat, it's your luck, if you didn't embezzle money from those dirty officials, I would have taught you a lesson. I won’t wait until now to say it.”
Lin Long smiled, seeing that Yinxiang was silent again, knowing that she was still thinking about the victims, so she also waited quietly, refusing to intervene. After half a day, she heard Yinxiang suddenly say in the quiet night: "I am four My brother also said that my starling also asked Huang Ama for instructions not long ago, saying that he wants to come out. I don’t know why, where to go.”
Lin Long thought for a while and said, "Don't you want to secretly follow behind your fourth brother? Praying mantis catching cicadas, oriole is behind?"
Yinxiang shook his head: "It should not be possible, there is no need for that."
Lin Long said: "Why isn't it necessary? What if your starling is in the same group as someone else? After your fourth brother investigates and finds out about him, of course he will sabotage it secretly."
Yinxiang shook his head and smiled and said, "If he does that, he will really be 'no silver here', and it will only do him harm, not good; besides, I know him well. Although he is weird and cunning, he is cruel, but he has his own personality Arrogance, if you ask him to do things that humiliate his status for no reason, he will absolutely refuse."
Lin Long was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a crash from behind, as if something had been broken, and then, there was a faint and chaotic sound, noisy, chaotic and suppressed, Yinxiang couldn't help frowning, and called for someone to come, in a deep voice Said: "Which one is making noise there?"
The order was not given, but listening to the trot along the alley, Ruoxing came out with disheveled hair, his face was smeared red and white, just like an actor on a stage, wearing a loose homely gown and loose clothes, The face was very beaming, and when he saw someone in front of him, he smiled even more. Regardless of the obstruction of the girl who was chasing up, he struggled and rushed to Lin Long, grabbed his clothes, and said with a smile: "When did the master come, why did you ignore me?" reason?"
Lin Long was puzzled and stared blankly at Yinxiang with a smile. When Yinxiang saw this, he became angry immediately. The girls hurriedly separated him from Lin Longqiang in fright. Then Ruoxing didn't know what kind of magic he had. Everyone took him, but Lin Long ignored her again, and felt very sad again, so she looked around for knives and swords, wanting to seek death immediately, overturned the weapon shelf, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds scattered all over the ground, seven or eight girls stopped her, pushed Pushing and shoving, and persuading her, she suddenly forgot to seek death again, she threw away the crowd suddenly, smiled on her face, moved her lotus steps lightly, and sang a few lines in a strange voice, she couldn't hear clearly in a trance, two of them were: "You can enjoy prosperity and wealth for thousands of years, but in the end, you will end up with only a handful of pure land, and all kinds of grievances and grievances will be dissipated with the wind and clouds, ah—"
It stopped abruptly again, and knelt down at the feet of a girl with a plop, her head clattered like an earthquake, her face full of fear, and she only said repeatedly in her mouth: "Shentian Bodhisattva, please forgive me, don't dare again..."
Just this moment, I don't know how many programs have been turned upside down, and they don't stop. The girls are trying their best to stop and dissuade her. I don't think she seems to have a lot of strength out of thin air. No matter how many people, she can't hold her down. Loose, I didn't want Ruoxing to lose her composure, and Lin Long's abruptness made her lose face, and she felt ashamed and annoyed. Seeing that she was becoming more and more troublesome, she didn't bother to find out the reason, so she said flatly: "Come on two Kid! Put her in the back and lock her up! Ming'er wakes up, let her go immediately! How unreasonable!"
Seeing that Yinxiang was really annoyed, the boys had to come out from behind the door. They crossed their arms and raised their legs, making a fuss and locked them in the back room, and locked them with a big lock. How much she cried, she always ignored it until midnight, when Ruo Xingfang suddenly stopped making trouble, as if she had collapsed, she fell to the ground and fell asleep leisurely, unconscious.
In the dead of night, everything was silent, seeing a door of Xiangyun Pavilion slowly opened, Ning Yue shrank and walked out, looking around vigilantly, seeing no one around, Fang took the key and quietly opened the small side door, while walking, turning her head Look, from the alley to the end, there is already a middle-aged woman waiting at the corner, she smiled flatteringly and said: "My eldest girl, why did it take me so long to come, does it work?"
Ning Yue hurriedly nodded, took out a piece of silver from her pocket tremblingly and gave it to her, and said, "Go quickly."
The woman, who has been through things for a long time, still smiled and said: "Why is the girl so afraid? In the future, I will have to take care of the girl more."
Ningyue said: "Don't come again, just go." She turned her head and left in a hurry, but fortunately everyone was tired from tossing and tossing this night, each of them had already fallen asleep, and Ningyue did something different, but no one knew about it.
Speaking back, because of Ningyue's disturbance, Yinxiang saw that she was so rude, and ordered to shut her down. Lin Long saw that it was a family matter, but she said a few words of persuasion and didn't wait too long, so she left and went back. Unable to let go of Daiyu's illness, she came to the Xiaoxiang Hall to have a look. The two exchanged a few words, and Lin Long watched Daiyu eat before going back.
Here Daiyu was drowsy during the day and couldn't sleep at night, so she asked the girl to bring the Gusu ink scroll that Lin Long bought that day, put the small table on the kang, covered it with embroidered thick cloth, and wrapped it in clothes, Stitch after stitch, bowing her head and embroidering in the same way, all the maids over there went to sleep first, and this thing took a lot of work. Daiyu embroidered a corner of the wall, it was already past midnight, her hands were sore and her eyes hurt, Feeling tired, he leaned against the board wall, closed his eyes and took a nap.
Suddenly, the sky is already bright, and I don’t know where I am, but what I see is a quiet and quiet hill, misty, snowy and silent. I follow the winding mountain road and enter a fan gate. There are many white plums in the corner. Branches, couplets and several houses, a girl was hugging Lin Ruhai's neck tightly, with tears in her eyes, she said coquettishly: "Yu'er won't let daddy go, daddy is at home, play with Yuer."
That girl was only two or three years old, she was born in pink and jade, she was cute and clever, it wasn't me, but who was it?
Lin Ruhai was full of doting, and said with a smile: "Yu'er is good, Daddy always has to leave, if the time is delayed, Daddy should be blamed on the other side."
Daiyu cried: "Daddy is lying. If Yu'er lets go, when will Daddy come back? Will Yu'er never see you again?" Speaking of this, I just feel sore in my heart. Dressed in general.
Lin Ruhai wiped away Daiyu's tears and said with a faint smile: "Daddy is gone, and there is my brother. Your brother is safe and will definitely take good care of you in the future. You are destined to have a good relationship and stay together forever , I don’t need to worry too much.”
Daiyu was still choking with sobs and wanted to speak, but when she looked up, Lin Ruhai had already left her at some point, more than ten meters away, his figure was blurred in the mist, as if he was about to turn into an immortal.
Daiyu was startled, and hurriedly stumbled up and followed, crying, "Daddy is back." Her feet were weak, and she suddenly fell to the ground.
Then a hand was stretched out, still as warm and powerful as it was many years ago, quietly pulling the young Daiyu up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Yu'er don't cry, brother is here, don't be afraid. "
This is Nanchuan's voice, as strong and determined as ever.
At that time, she felt that there was nothing in this world that her brother couldn't do. At that time, many harsh and willful requests, even some unreasonable troubles, would be accepted unconditionally by him with a warm smile, even if they were lost in the vast crowd. He also smiled like that, and said to himself: "Brother, go find it for you, Yu'er is obedient, go home first."
Many things are engraved in the bones, and as time changes, this emotion will never fade.
"Don't be afraid, brother is here..."
The voice was soft and thin, like a whisper, very real, as if it was right next to her ears, Daiyu slowly opened her eyes, the window paper had already seen light, and the colorful feather parrot was chattering its wings boredly under the window, the window was half open, and the pearl The curtain was blown slightly, and only the wreckage of the incense remained in the incense burner.
There was no one, no sound, and everything was just a dream.
Daiyu thought about it for a while, then sighed softly, and then realized that her cheeks were wet with tears, her chest was oppressed and uncomfortable, she still maintained the posture of last night, the needle and thread on the table were still on the unfolded snow-white cloth, and still only embroidered the little pink wall wall.
Then he wiped away his tears and went down to the ground slowly. He heard voices over there, and he was busy for a while. After a while, Xueyan waited and rubbed his eyes, yawned and came over, and said with a smile: "Girl, let's sleep a little longer. It's early."
Daiyu said: "My body is sore. I get up and move around. Maybe it will be better."
Xueyan looked at the bed once, and said, "My good girl, you sent us away. Didn't you embroider all night?" Seeing the little girl fetching water, she took care of Daiyu to wash and comb her hair. He also asked what he wanted to eat and whether he would like tea.
Daiyu was troubled in her heart, so she said, "Forget it, you can still sleep in your bed, and just keep arguing in my ears. Anyway, I just read a book, and it's over after a little walk in the yard."
Xueyan and the others also had sleepy eyes. They knew that Daiyu was different: throughout the year, they couldn't sleep for ten days at a time, or they didn't sleep late at night, and they often read books in the morning. Yes, I didn't feel strange anymore, so I smiled and said: "Since the girl said so, we will sleep in our own."
Daiyu nodded, and after a while, all the maids retreated, and there was silence inside and outside the house.
I opened the small pocket watch that Lin Long gave me, and it was just after four o'clock. I flipped through the poem book and wrote a sentence or two in rhyme. I was very bored. The petals fell on the ground, Yin thought: Instead of waiting for everyone to wake up and trample those petals wantonly, why don't I collect some now and bury them, wouldn't it be better?
So he took the flower bag, walked out of the yard, picked it up all the way, and went straight to the flower forest in the east.
In summer, it dawns very early. At this time, there are only some women who do rough work in the garden. They are busy, doing some things such as holding firewood, sweeping the floor and opening the door. There is still a slight mist, but the birds are chirping among the trees. There is a scent of soil and flower petals in the air, passing by, and the smell is refreshing.
Daiyu picked it up all the way, the flower forest was not deep enough, her bag was gradually full, she was thinking about where to bury them, when suddenly she heard the faint sound of swords in the depths of the flower forest, and someone murmured something, but she couldn't hear it. real.
Feeling a bit puzzled, he walked away following the sound, walking to the depths of the flower forest, and saw that in the faint mist, a person was concentrating on practicing his sword. On the ground floor, the man was wearing a white blue-and-white robe and white boots. He was originally elegant and handsome, but now he was a little more aggressive. The rain is torrential, suddenly tricky and nimble, like a silver snake dancing wildly, and also practicing to the point of joy, reciting poems, swords dancing with poems, poems are formed from the heart, the three are integrated, like entering a state of confusion and obsession, The Tao is: "Scattered flowers are like rain, riding the wind with arrogance, the body dances and the clouds disperse, the sword moves and the birds fly, one sword plays red, the universe moves, He envy swallows mountains and rivers, roaring in Changsha?"The prosperity of the world is hopeless, dare to scorn gold and jade, three thousand feet, sit and laugh at the common people, fight for honor and disgrace in mediocrity, thorns and hazels, sweet like sugar, sighing in vain. '
The sword qi danced wildly, and said again: "Take the horned dragon to break the waves, drive the Yao elephant to find the spring; destroy the Qionglou to plant chrysanthemums, and look for the old house for the shabby house; look at the clouds and look forward to it, look down at the blue sky and feel affectionate, so you can be at ease. And I am free, willing to donate to the dust'.
At the end of the chanting, it was like the turbulence gradually stopped, the torrent slowed down, and the blade began to be soft. As for stopping, the thin beads of sweat on Yinxiang's forehead did not care to wipe it off. In front of the cut body, a lavender flower swayed leisurely, and just landed on the sword.
Yinxiang looked at it, his mind wandering slightly, and he remembered a sentence that someone once said at a certain moment: "Just throw the petals into the lake and let them flow out of the palace wall, and you will inevitably fall into the mud in the end. Wouldn't it be better to put it in a sachet and bury it under the flower tree, 'the quality is clean when it comes and goes'?"
With a smile on his lips, he took the flower in his hand and put the sword into its sheath.
Suddenly hearing a small clapping sound behind him, one person smiled softly: "The sword dance is well done, and the poem is well done, it's really hard for people to come out and praise it."
It turned out that Daiyu had been standing not far away and listening until the end of Yinxiang's poem, because she was originally a person of wisdom and talent. There is no one who can make her admire and admire. Today, I heard Yinxiang chanted these unintentionally. Although it was only a few words, she felt that her realm was very different from others, and she felt as if she had entered a pure state for an instant, and she completely forgot about it. I was obsessed with listening to things before I knew it, and now I can't help but do it subconsciously when I show up and praise it.
Yinxiang was only concentrating on practicing his sword, and didn't know anyone was there, so he hurriedly turned around. After seeing the shadow of the flower, it was Daiyu who came out with a smile. He was shocked, and quickly hid the flower behind him, and answered with a smile.
I don't know what happened to the two of you, I'll break it down next time
Mo Qiao went to the bookshelf and flipped through it. Suddenly, his hand paused, feeling that Daiyu was watching beside him, and he quickly pulled out a copy of "Selected Poems of Thatched Cottage". This isn't it?"
Daiyu took it with a faint smile, and said 'thank you', Moqiao pointed to something, bowed his head and left, walked to the door, bumped into someone, and apologized hurriedly.
Lin Long came in suspiciously, looked at Daiyu strangely, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? That little girl's face is so red?"
Seeing Daiyu turn her face away, she thought for a while, then fiddled with her hair and clothes in front of the mirror, and murmured: "It's not that I'm dressed like this today, is it too glamorous? Even you have been tricked."
When Daiyu saw him, Benyin suddenly remembered what happened last night, and she was a little shy. When she heard this, she couldn't help laughing. Seeing his description, she obviously didn't know what she said or did yesterday, maybe it was in a dream , I don't know, I also faded away, and then frowned and said intently: "I don't know why, I saw her talking and behaving like a big family, unlike those girls from small households, in short, she is a bit weird."
Lin Long turned her head and glared: "No way? Could it be another copy of Xiangling? Or someone who endured the humiliation of the former royal family and worked as a sweeping girl in our house, only waiting for an opportunity to steal information in order to 'anti-Qing and restore the Ming', then But it's big."
Daiyu was weak, and said with a smile: "It's more and more nonsense, this is impossible."
Lin Long looked at Daiyu's complexion in the mirror, and asked, "Why doesn't your face look right? Are you sick?" Then she came and sat on the edge of the bed, stroking her head with her hand, and then touching her own, and it turned out that she was a little hot.
Then he frowned and asked, "How did you get sick? Have you taken any medicine?"
Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile: "It's just that I caught a cold yesterday, you just go with your own, why are you dawdling here, anyway, I have a girl."
Lin Long didn't say much, and put a cushion on the edge of the bed for Daiyu to lean on. She came down and rummaged through the small medicine cabinet, then went to pour water, and said to herself, "I don't blame the second sister-in-law for saying that you It’s a beauty lamp, it can be broken by the wind, and it’s only been a few days since you’ve recovered, and you’re sick again, and your physique is so poor, who will want you in the future? Maybe I have to be kind, and I can’t hurt others.”
Daiyu babbled endlessly, but couldn't hear clearly, angry and funny, she said angrily, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Long hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? I'm reviewing history here."
Then he walked over and said with a smile: "Now I watch other people compile books and hang out with them, and the ink in my stomach is getting more and more. Those things from ancient times to the present are just a series of words, but whatever happens to me, what I think and what I think It was very different before, as if the whole person, even the soul, was much deeper."
Daiyu took the medicine and took it, rinsed her mouth again, and couldn't help smiling when she heard what he said, because she asked, "What book are you making?"
Lin Long smiled and said: "The new outline of the history of the Five Dynasties is different from other history books. This group of literati said that they should 'try to get close to the historical facts and evaluate objectively'. I am a nominal supervisor. Don't frown. This is a great honor. Just imagine that there will be descendants in the future, if we take out this authoritative book from the bookshelf and say that we participated in the operation of a certain process at that time, wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing?”
Daiyu said: "Brother is messing around, can history books be made up?"
Lin Long smiled and said: "Citizens should have freedom of speech, why can't they make it up? In fact, they hesitated at the beginning, wondering if it was feasible, and I encouraged them before they dared. You don't know, most of the people here are talented. , like Fu Qiuhuai, Pang Zhiliu, Nie Qing, Long Yuxian, Shangguan Yunjing, etc., everyone is a thousand-mile horse, but they can't meet Bole. If it's a coincidence and they have to serve Mingjun, there is no guarantee that they are not Guan Zhong. Le Yi and others, when I was with them, chatting and asking for advice, I always felt that they were the boundless sky, the vast night sky, and I was an inconspicuous star in it. This kind of spiritual realm is so amazing and so victorious, it makes people yearn for it, and I really wish I could die immediately, or turn into dust and ashes, and become one with it!"
Daiyu has never seen him say something with such high spirits, his eyes are bright and full of energy, it is very different from the conversation scene in the past, even she is a little moved, she was full of words, but now it is hard to say, she just bowed her head Listening, she nodded with a faint smile, and finally said: "Although I have never seen it in person, I understand what brother said. I can't stop what you like. I just hope you will be more cautious in your actions. I don't really think about the honor and glory on you, I just want you to be safe and sound, that's the best thing, and I'm also relieved." After speaking, she turned her head away and drew patterns on the bed with her fingers.
When Lin Long saw her, her face gradually became quieter and softer. After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "I know what you mean. Since you think so, I won't be the so-called supervisor, and I won't interfere in this matter. I'll just be a bystander. Or, while watching, is this the head office?"
Daiyu's face was bright red, she didn't say a word, she smiled slightly, and suddenly saw Jin Xi'er, the little girl from Yinxiang's office, came running and said: "Finally, the second master has been caught."
Lin Long smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry, what are you doing?"
Jin Xi'er smiled and said, "Our master told him to come back early in the evening and go find him."
Lin Long asked what was the matter, Jin Xi'er smiled and said, "We don't know, as long as the second master came back early."
Lin Long agreed, and said a few more words to Daiyu here, some words of advice, and seeing that it was getting late, she went out and did not show up for the time being.
Seeing that Jin Xi'er was still standing at the door, Daiyu asked, "Is there anything else?"
Jin Xi'er hurriedly smiled and said, "Our master asked me to ask how the girl feels today."
Daiyu smiled and said, "Fortunately, go back and tell me, 'Thank you for your trouble'."
Jin Xi'er took a look at Daiyu's complexion, then ran away, and when she was about to make an appointment with Xiao Zhuxiang, Xueyan came back with a small gold box in her arms, first looked around the room, came over and said with a smile: "It's a strange way, It turns out that there is no girl in the yard."
Then he smiled at Daiyu and said, "I just saw Lord Thirteen walking up and down at the door with his hands behind his back. I don't know what it means. When he saw me, he put this thing in my hand and said, 'Give it to you girls. One morning and one night, wash once', I was wondering, only now did I realize that these little hooves have slipped out, and Lord Thirteen is just waiting under the sun."
Daiyu saw that the box was small and delicate, but it was embroidered with brocades and satins. She expected it to be something from the palace. She was grateful and asked, "Can he go?"
Xueyan said: "Yes, I left after I gave the things."
Daiyu nodded and said nothing, because she had just finished taking the medicine, she asked Xueyan to let it go. She was tired this day, and when the sisters came to call, they all excused themselves because they were not well. They rested in the room, and others did not disturb Baoyu and Baochai came to see each other, and Daiyu pretended to be asleep, unwilling to deal with it. Then Baoyu asked the girl in a low voice outside, and he had to give instructions, and Baochai only asked Daiyu to tell her. After saying it, he left without mentioning it.
It is said that Lin Long is still busy with miscellaneous things this day. Because Yinxiang told her to return early, she deliberately pushed two banquets, and came back after going to the county government to do some handover. A local tyrant, the county magistrate turned black and white, ordered them to be beaten, and then sent to prison. Lin Long couldn't see it, so he helped mediate for a while, and said a lot of good things. After letting them go back, Lin Long saw that they were pitiful again, and took some money from him as a gift.
After this delay, it was already dark, and they walked half an alley, and came to the main entrance of Xiangyun Pavilion, and saw a few more boys at the door, all of them well dressed, there were boys from Xiangyun Pavilion, who knew Lin Long well, He came forward to pick up the horse, and said with a smile, "The Thirteenth Master has been waiting for the Second Master for a long time, why did the Second Master come back?"
Lin Long asked, "Who's here?"
The boy hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Fourth Master."
Lin Long frowned: "Where is the fourth master?"
The kid chuckled, and said: "Ming'er, the second master doesn't even recognize our master? Which fourth master is there? Of course it is the fourth elder brother in the palace. He is talking to our master right now. Second master Go in quickly, Lord Thirteen has sent people out to investigate several times."
Lin Longfang knew that it was Yinzhen who had come, and felt a little surprised in her heart, and without asking the boy to tell, she went in quietly, and saw two shadowy figures with lights on in the attic, one could vaguely see that one of them was Yinxiang, and the two The people were very close, obviously they were talking about something confidential at the moment, Lin Long didn't go in when she saw this, she sat outside in the stone pavilion for a while, and played with the puppy again.
After a while, I heard a sound of singing, intermittent, mixed with laughter, and one or two sentences became louder, and floated into Lin Long's ears. I couldn't help wondering, because I thought: Others hold their voices and hold their breath. What kind of girl is this, even with the fourth master here, she is so presumptuous and helpless, and she sings alone. My brother is the most face-to-face, if she knows, she may not be spared lightly.
I was also curious, wanted to see who it was, and gave her a warning, and followed the voice, walked from the small aisle with flowers to the back, but saw a square garden of flowers and trees behind, with two branches and leaves on the edge of the garden. The big tree that covers the sky hides a small courtyard, which is the place where the girls live. At this moment, the door there is wide open, and Lin Long sees a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl wearing clothes there through the shadow of the light. She wore a set of costumes and water sleeves, and she was babbling and singing. There were three or four little girls who saw that she was acting like a fool, fearing that Yinxiang would know, so she pushed her and booed her in a hurry. Unable to subdue her, she sang more and more happily, her cheeks flushed.
Lin Long identified it once, and remembered that this girl was Yinxiang's big girl named Ruoxing. She laughed and wondered in her heart, and said to herself: I can't think of such a serious, proud and self-respecting girl like her. Faint side?If it's not drunk and chaotic, then it's the wrong medicine, right?It's so strange.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the girl beside him laughing and said: "Second Master, don't watch the fun, Thirteenth Master heard that Second Master is back, let him come in."
Seeing the invitation, Lin Long put aside the excitement here, and followed suit after getting dressed.
I met Yinzhen and others for a while, but Lin Long saw that he hadn't seen each other in the past few months. Yinzhen became more and more thin and refreshed, calm and stable, so he just sat silently and sipped tea, and there was a kind of self-confidence born from within. The calm and calm air made people dare not be disrespectful, and he secretly praised Lin Long, and Yinzhen also saw that Lin Long was far from what he was when they met last time, his speech and demeanor were mostly deliberately carved to be serious and mature, but more A little natural and unhurried, with ease, he also secretly marveled at his sharp mind and extraordinary comprehension, because of a smile, he said: "I heard that you have become an official, so congratulations."
Lin Long smiled modestly and said: "Fourth Master is laughing at me. How can I be an official? But thanks to the emperor's grace, the Holy One's favor, and Fourth Master's love, I got a position in vain. It's just a little bit of waste heat for the common people. Relying on Thirteenth Brother's regular guidance, we will not discredit the officialdom and embarrass Fourth Master."
After Yinzhen heard this, he chuckled, and cast his eyes to Yinxiang. Yinxiang also smiled, and looked at Lin Long meaningfully. Lin Long understood, "You kid, you know how to flatter. Don't fall yet'.
Lin Long ignored him, and said with a smile: "Is the fourth master here on business, or to relax? If it's on business, we don't dare to bother you too much. If it's for a trip, the official said that we must not be a host. , Please invite fourth master to have fun for a few days. I often hear thirteenth master say that fourth master is a drinker. The face is fine."
Yinzhen put down his teacup, waved his hands and smiled: "Forget it, just forget it, because I want to avoid drinking and avoiding banquets, so I came all the way in a private way. If I eat and drink a lot, I don't care about others, and I won't talk to you either." Lie, I'm a famous person who 'drinks a glass' and 'doesn't get drunk after a thousand glasses', you believe his nonsense!" Several people laughed when he said that, Yinxiang hurriedly said: "My fourth brother is going to go to Jiangnan, I have business to do, so I can't stand your banquet for the time being, and save it, let's talk about it next time."
After listening to what the two said, Lin Long vaguely guessed a few points, and quickly agreed without asking any more questions. Seeing that it was getting late, Yinzhen got up and wanted to go. Yinxiang repeatedly invited him to stay, but Yinzhen refused. Just say, "This is already eye-catching enough, and then tossing up and down the tea and drinking places alarmed Jia's mansion, and it was another vain response, which is very annoying. A quiet place has been arranged over there, and I have been tossing around for a day." Now, let's take a rest in peace', Yinxiang was not very strong, and sent Lin Long out with him, and Fang came back after watching the distance.
Here the two were sitting idle in the gazebo under the moon, Lin Long crossed his legs, stood on tiptoe, and said with a smile: "He doesn't eat, drink or play, what do you want me, a 'ready-made copper merchant', to come back to?" ?”
Yinxiang smiled and said: "You are smart, you can't hide anything from you! I really think that it will be good for you if we have a meal together. Maybe you will take out those good things that you have treasured on weekdays for everyone to benefit from, and you will give birth to me." Brother is in a hurry this time, and I’m not in the mood, you’ve got a lot of money.”
Lin Long asked, "What's the matter? It's so mysterious. Can you tell me?"
Yinxiang said: "If it was someone else, I would naturally not tell him, who is you. My fourth brother is going to investigate Xu Zuyin, a corrupt official in the south of the Yangtze River, but he is passing by here, so come and stop here for a while."
Lin Long said: "I thought who it was, it turned out to be a corrupt official, it's just such a small matter, how about his elder brother to investigate in person? It's a casual dress, and it doesn't let others know, it's too talented, right?"
Yinxiang smiled lightly and said: "You don't know, things are complicated here. On the surface, Xu Zuyin is a big corrupt official. In fact, there is a criss-crossed official website of corruption behind him, one behind the other, one connected with the other, and deeply rooted. Why do you think the people in the south of the Yangtze River are always making trouble now? Why do the courts send people to subdue them, always press down on one side, and then rise up on the other side? The root cause is that the people can't stand the heavy and harsh tax oppression and exploitation, and the officials can't stand it. The common people have always been able to bear with rip off layer by layer, unless they can't survive, then they revolted."
Lin Long hurriedly nodded to show her understanding. Yinxiang walked to the side of the vine with his hands behind his back, and said: "Now there are more and more Iron Fist officials in the court, represented by my starling, and many people want to lead troops to quell the chaos. The mob is suppressed, but you think, if the root cause cannot be resolved, it is a long-term strategy to rely on the iron fist policy against the people, even if they temporarily fear and submit? Once the grievances are heavy, another uprising will definitely be a larger-scale rebellion. Not to mention the strength of my fourth brother alone, even the elite and capable people of the whole dynasty may not be able to stop the turbulent torrent at that time."
Lin Long frowned silently, and after a long while, she said: "I also heard that Jiangnan was hit by a disaster, and many people were left homeless, why not..." Lin Long wanted to say, "I'd better donate some money", but when the words came to her mouth, After several turns, it turned into: "Why don't I put a few donation boxes in the garden and everywhere tomorrow, so that everyone can join in and donate money."
Yin Xiang burst out laughing, turned his head and pointed at him, and said, "Be careful! Don't think that I'm talking about other corrupt officials. I don't know what you usually do! You are a fake official, and those petty officials are so dirty. Don’t you exploit less? Your pockets are full, and now you take out some money to save people, and you feel distressed? You also asked the girls to contribute to donate money, thanks to what you said, to return the emperor’s favor Hao Dang, the Holy Majesty favors me, I blush for you!"
Lin Long's eyes widened, and she said in a strange voice: "Who exploited them? The conscience of heaven and earth, someone is jealous and slandered me!"
Yinxiang nodded bitterly and smiled: "I still don't admit it, okay, then let me ask you, who posted a notice in the black market in private, clearly marking the price of my things? The old gown is 500 taels, and the new gown is 300 taels. The hand stove I have touched is 1000 taels, the handwriting I wrote is 200 taels a pair, and there are flowers, grass, cups and plates in my yard. You are willing to sell them as long as someone can give you a higher price. Lost all day long? I got up early that day and found that a button was missing from my clothes. After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that it was you practicing sword with me that day, pretending to miss it, and selling it! You still pretend!"
Lin Long was tongue-tied, seeing that she couldn't hide it, she suddenly said with a playful smile: "I'm not trying to get money, but those people really worship your thirteenth elder brother so much that they can't see you at once, so I begged grandpa to tell grandma At least I can find something for them, you know that I am the most charitable person, I don’t want others to cry in front of me..."
Yinxiang's teeth were sore when he heard this, and he reached out his hand to stop him, and said with a light smile: "Forget it, I don't wear this high hat, it's your luck, if you didn't embezzle money from those dirty officials, I would have taught you a lesson. I won’t wait until now to say it.”
Lin Long smiled, seeing that Yinxiang was silent again, knowing that she was still thinking about the victims, so she also waited quietly, refusing to intervene. After half a day, she heard Yinxiang suddenly say in the quiet night: "I am four My brother also said that my starling also asked Huang Ama for instructions not long ago, saying that he wants to come out. I don’t know why, where to go.”
Lin Long thought for a while and said, "Don't you want to secretly follow behind your fourth brother? Praying mantis catching cicadas, oriole is behind?"
Yinxiang shook his head: "It should not be possible, there is no need for that."
Lin Long said: "Why isn't it necessary? What if your starling is in the same group as someone else? After your fourth brother investigates and finds out about him, of course he will sabotage it secretly."
Yinxiang shook his head and smiled and said, "If he does that, he will really be 'no silver here', and it will only do him harm, not good; besides, I know him well. Although he is weird and cunning, he is cruel, but he has his own personality Arrogance, if you ask him to do things that humiliate his status for no reason, he will absolutely refuse."
Lin Long was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a crash from behind, as if something had been broken, and then, there was a faint and chaotic sound, noisy, chaotic and suppressed, Yinxiang couldn't help frowning, and called for someone to come, in a deep voice Said: "Which one is making noise there?"
The order was not given, but listening to the trot along the alley, Ruoxing came out with disheveled hair, his face was smeared red and white, just like an actor on a stage, wearing a loose homely gown and loose clothes, The face was very beaming, and when he saw someone in front of him, he smiled even more. Regardless of the obstruction of the girl who was chasing up, he struggled and rushed to Lin Long, grabbed his clothes, and said with a smile: "When did the master come, why did you ignore me?" reason?"
Lin Long was puzzled and stared blankly at Yinxiang with a smile. When Yinxiang saw this, he became angry immediately. The girls hurriedly separated him from Lin Longqiang in fright. Then Ruoxing didn't know what kind of magic he had. Everyone took him, but Lin Long ignored her again, and felt very sad again, so she looked around for knives and swords, wanting to seek death immediately, overturned the weapon shelf, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds scattered all over the ground, seven or eight girls stopped her, pushed Pushing and shoving, and persuading her, she suddenly forgot to seek death again, she threw away the crowd suddenly, smiled on her face, moved her lotus steps lightly, and sang a few lines in a strange voice, she couldn't hear clearly in a trance, two of them were: "You can enjoy prosperity and wealth for thousands of years, but in the end, you will end up with only a handful of pure land, and all kinds of grievances and grievances will be dissipated with the wind and clouds, ah—"
It stopped abruptly again, and knelt down at the feet of a girl with a plop, her head clattered like an earthquake, her face full of fear, and she only said repeatedly in her mouth: "Shentian Bodhisattva, please forgive me, don't dare again..."
Just this moment, I don't know how many programs have been turned upside down, and they don't stop. The girls are trying their best to stop and dissuade her. I don't think she seems to have a lot of strength out of thin air. No matter how many people, she can't hold her down. Loose, I didn't want Ruoxing to lose her composure, and Lin Long's abruptness made her lose face, and she felt ashamed and annoyed. Seeing that she was becoming more and more troublesome, she didn't bother to find out the reason, so she said flatly: "Come on two Kid! Put her in the back and lock her up! Ming'er wakes up, let her go immediately! How unreasonable!"
Seeing that Yinxiang was really annoyed, the boys had to come out from behind the door. They crossed their arms and raised their legs, making a fuss and locked them in the back room, and locked them with a big lock. How much she cried, she always ignored it until midnight, when Ruo Xingfang suddenly stopped making trouble, as if she had collapsed, she fell to the ground and fell asleep leisurely, unconscious.
In the dead of night, everything was silent, seeing a door of Xiangyun Pavilion slowly opened, Ning Yue shrank and walked out, looking around vigilantly, seeing no one around, Fang took the key and quietly opened the small side door, while walking, turning her head Look, from the alley to the end, there is already a middle-aged woman waiting at the corner, she smiled flatteringly and said: "My eldest girl, why did it take me so long to come, does it work?"
Ning Yue hurriedly nodded, took out a piece of silver from her pocket tremblingly and gave it to her, and said, "Go quickly."
The woman, who has been through things for a long time, still smiled and said: "Why is the girl so afraid? In the future, I will have to take care of the girl more."
Ningyue said: "Don't come again, just go." She turned her head and left in a hurry, but fortunately everyone was tired from tossing and tossing this night, each of them had already fallen asleep, and Ningyue did something different, but no one knew about it.
Speaking back, because of Ningyue's disturbance, Yinxiang saw that she was so rude, and ordered to shut her down. Lin Long saw that it was a family matter, but she said a few words of persuasion and didn't wait too long, so she left and went back. Unable to let go of Daiyu's illness, she came to the Xiaoxiang Hall to have a look. The two exchanged a few words, and Lin Long watched Daiyu eat before going back.
Here Daiyu was drowsy during the day and couldn't sleep at night, so she asked the girl to bring the Gusu ink scroll that Lin Long bought that day, put the small table on the kang, covered it with embroidered thick cloth, and wrapped it in clothes, Stitch after stitch, bowing her head and embroidering in the same way, all the maids over there went to sleep first, and this thing took a lot of work. Daiyu embroidered a corner of the wall, it was already past midnight, her hands were sore and her eyes hurt, Feeling tired, he leaned against the board wall, closed his eyes and took a nap.
Suddenly, the sky is already bright, and I don’t know where I am, but what I see is a quiet and quiet hill, misty, snowy and silent. I follow the winding mountain road and enter a fan gate. There are many white plums in the corner. Branches, couplets and several houses, a girl was hugging Lin Ruhai's neck tightly, with tears in her eyes, she said coquettishly: "Yu'er won't let daddy go, daddy is at home, play with Yuer."
That girl was only two or three years old, she was born in pink and jade, she was cute and clever, it wasn't me, but who was it?
Lin Ruhai was full of doting, and said with a smile: "Yu'er is good, Daddy always has to leave, if the time is delayed, Daddy should be blamed on the other side."
Daiyu cried: "Daddy is lying. If Yu'er lets go, when will Daddy come back? Will Yu'er never see you again?" Speaking of this, I just feel sore in my heart. Dressed in general.
Lin Ruhai wiped away Daiyu's tears and said with a faint smile: "Daddy is gone, and there is my brother. Your brother is safe and will definitely take good care of you in the future. You are destined to have a good relationship and stay together forever , I don’t need to worry too much.”
Daiyu was still choking with sobs and wanted to speak, but when she looked up, Lin Ruhai had already left her at some point, more than ten meters away, his figure was blurred in the mist, as if he was about to turn into an immortal.
Daiyu was startled, and hurriedly stumbled up and followed, crying, "Daddy is back." Her feet were weak, and she suddenly fell to the ground.
Then a hand was stretched out, still as warm and powerful as it was many years ago, quietly pulling the young Daiyu up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Yu'er don't cry, brother is here, don't be afraid. "
This is Nanchuan's voice, as strong and determined as ever.
At that time, she felt that there was nothing in this world that her brother couldn't do. At that time, many harsh and willful requests, even some unreasonable troubles, would be accepted unconditionally by him with a warm smile, even if they were lost in the vast crowd. He also smiled like that, and said to himself: "Brother, go find it for you, Yu'er is obedient, go home first."
Many things are engraved in the bones, and as time changes, this emotion will never fade.
"Don't be afraid, brother is here..."
The voice was soft and thin, like a whisper, very real, as if it was right next to her ears, Daiyu slowly opened her eyes, the window paper had already seen light, and the colorful feather parrot was chattering its wings boredly under the window, the window was half open, and the pearl The curtain was blown slightly, and only the wreckage of the incense remained in the incense burner.
There was no one, no sound, and everything was just a dream.
Daiyu thought about it for a while, then sighed softly, and then realized that her cheeks were wet with tears, her chest was oppressed and uncomfortable, she still maintained the posture of last night, the needle and thread on the table were still on the unfolded snow-white cloth, and still only embroidered the little pink wall wall.
Then he wiped away his tears and went down to the ground slowly. He heard voices over there, and he was busy for a while. After a while, Xueyan waited and rubbed his eyes, yawned and came over, and said with a smile: "Girl, let's sleep a little longer. It's early."
Daiyu said: "My body is sore. I get up and move around. Maybe it will be better."
Xueyan looked at the bed once, and said, "My good girl, you sent us away. Didn't you embroider all night?" Seeing the little girl fetching water, she took care of Daiyu to wash and comb her hair. He also asked what he wanted to eat and whether he would like tea.
Daiyu was troubled in her heart, so she said, "Forget it, you can still sleep in your bed, and just keep arguing in my ears. Anyway, I just read a book, and it's over after a little walk in the yard."
Xueyan and the others also had sleepy eyes. They knew that Daiyu was different: throughout the year, they couldn't sleep for ten days at a time, or they didn't sleep late at night, and they often read books in the morning. Yes, I didn't feel strange anymore, so I smiled and said: "Since the girl said so, we will sleep in our own."
Daiyu nodded, and after a while, all the maids retreated, and there was silence inside and outside the house.
I opened the small pocket watch that Lin Long gave me, and it was just after four o'clock. I flipped through the poem book and wrote a sentence or two in rhyme. I was very bored. The petals fell on the ground, Yin thought: Instead of waiting for everyone to wake up and trample those petals wantonly, why don't I collect some now and bury them, wouldn't it be better?
So he took the flower bag, walked out of the yard, picked it up all the way, and went straight to the flower forest in the east.
In summer, it dawns very early. At this time, there are only some women who do rough work in the garden. They are busy, doing some things such as holding firewood, sweeping the floor and opening the door. There is still a slight mist, but the birds are chirping among the trees. There is a scent of soil and flower petals in the air, passing by, and the smell is refreshing.
Daiyu picked it up all the way, the flower forest was not deep enough, her bag was gradually full, she was thinking about where to bury them, when suddenly she heard the faint sound of swords in the depths of the flower forest, and someone murmured something, but she couldn't hear it. real.
Feeling a bit puzzled, he walked away following the sound, walking to the depths of the flower forest, and saw that in the faint mist, a person was concentrating on practicing his sword. On the ground floor, the man was wearing a white blue-and-white robe and white boots. He was originally elegant and handsome, but now he was a little more aggressive. The rain is torrential, suddenly tricky and nimble, like a silver snake dancing wildly, and also practicing to the point of joy, reciting poems, swords dancing with poems, poems are formed from the heart, the three are integrated, like entering a state of confusion and obsession, The Tao is: "Scattered flowers are like rain, riding the wind with arrogance, the body dances and the clouds disperse, the sword moves and the birds fly, one sword plays red, the universe moves, He envy swallows mountains and rivers, roaring in Changsha?"The prosperity of the world is hopeless, dare to scorn gold and jade, three thousand feet, sit and laugh at the common people, fight for honor and disgrace in mediocrity, thorns and hazels, sweet like sugar, sighing in vain. '
The sword qi danced wildly, and said again: "Take the horned dragon to break the waves, drive the Yao elephant to find the spring; destroy the Qionglou to plant chrysanthemums, and look for the old house for the shabby house; look at the clouds and look forward to it, look down at the blue sky and feel affectionate, so you can be at ease. And I am free, willing to donate to the dust'.
At the end of the chanting, it was like the turbulence gradually stopped, the torrent slowed down, and the blade began to be soft. As for stopping, the thin beads of sweat on Yinxiang's forehead did not care to wipe it off. In front of the cut body, a lavender flower swayed leisurely, and just landed on the sword.
Yinxiang looked at it, his mind wandering slightly, and he remembered a sentence that someone once said at a certain moment: "Just throw the petals into the lake and let them flow out of the palace wall, and you will inevitably fall into the mud in the end. Wouldn't it be better to put it in a sachet and bury it under the flower tree, 'the quality is clean when it comes and goes'?"
With a smile on his lips, he took the flower in his hand and put the sword into its sheath.
Suddenly hearing a small clapping sound behind him, one person smiled softly: "The sword dance is well done, and the poem is well done, it's really hard for people to come out and praise it."
It turned out that Daiyu had been standing not far away and listening until the end of Yinxiang's poem, because she was originally a person of wisdom and talent. There is no one who can make her admire and admire. Today, I heard Yinxiang chanted these unintentionally. Although it was only a few words, she felt that her realm was very different from others, and she felt as if she had entered a pure state for an instant, and she completely forgot about it. I was obsessed with listening to things before I knew it, and now I can't help but do it subconsciously when I show up and praise it.
Yinxiang was only concentrating on practicing his sword, and didn't know anyone was there, so he hurriedly turned around. After seeing the shadow of the flower, it was Daiyu who came out with a smile. He was shocked, and quickly hid the flower behind him, and answered with a smile.
I don't know what happened to the two of you, I'll break it down next time
