The Fate of the Red Chamber

The heat continued for half a month, because the torrential rain in the past two days was over, the weather was clear and cool, and the wind was blowing.Daiyu put down her pen and chanted softly again. Then she smiled, stood up, and asked casually, "Where is sister Xi, why haven't you seen anyone all afternoon?"

"When the rain stopped at noon, miss Xi clamored to go fishing in the small pond next to Jingui Tower, saying that she was invited to eat the fish soup she made by herself in the evening." Bai Hui blew the words written by Daiyu, After it was done, it was put in Daiyu's small drawer for writing paper.

"Have you put away all the things I asked you to pack up? You can check it carefully later, but don't miss it. Everything outside is not as convenient as at home. And there are servant girls, who did you pick? Take them and go to sister Xi's place." Daiyu was served by the little maid to clean her hands, took a few mouthfuls of mung bean soup, and signaled the little maid to take it.

Knowing that Daiyu was going to go to Xichun, Baihui squatted down and gave Daiyu another pair of clogs on rainy days over the embroidered shoes.Although the rain has stopped, there are many water stains everywhere in the garden.He raised his head with a smile, flattened his mouth, and said angrily: "The girl is looking down on people more and more. We never dared to be careless about what the girl explained. Not only Xueyan checked it once, but I checked it again. If the girl is worried, Go back and watch it again yourself.

Now Yancao and Izumo, who serve Miss Xi, are going to go, as well as the old couple of Master Lin who take care of the flowers and plants in the garden.Lin Da's son and daughter-in-law are also grown up, so managing the garden is not a problem.For the little maids, Zitong, Honglu, Shenyan, Lanzhi, Xiaohen, four servants, four guards and four wives were sent.When you get there, everything is ready-made, and you don't need to worry about it. "

Daiyu was not annoyed by Baihui's robbing her of a few words, she nodded bitterly on Baihui's forehead and laughed and scolded: "Damn girl, when did you learn Xueyan's mouth, and even dare to answer my master's words, what a shame! I've spoiled you to the point of lawlessness."

"It's not that the girl is getting mad at her superior. She was never so careful in the past, but I have asked a few times about a few things these days." Bai Hui helped Daiyu walk a few steps to try to see if her feet fit.

"Okay, okay, my aunt Bai Hui. I was wrong. I have no worries about my aunt's ability. It's not because I am afraid that my sister is young and afraid of going outside. After a few words, I invited you to post a story. "The two master and servant walked out of the courtyard, the road was slippery, and the little girls hurriedly followed, carefully surrounded.

Daiyu held Baihui's hand, walked very slowly, took a deep breath, it was really comfortable!Can't help but sigh, and said seriously: "Next time, you have to be more careful, you should be careful. Just don't get too tired, you can leave anything to Xueyan, they will be able to do things after they have been with you for a few years Whoever is bad among the people below, such as gossips, troublemakers, lazy and evasive, and mischievous ones, you should shoot them all out together, we will never leave such people in our mansion.

In the past, I was thinking that everyone served me, there is no credit but hard work, and our family has few masters, so everyone is happy to relax.But in the future, you can't act carelessly, a wrong step may be a disaster.I won't say much about the other things, you just show off the style of a fifth-rank female official, and treat it well, so don't let people think that our Lin family has no rules. "

Although most of the people in the mansion are trustworthy, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be those who are open to money, so it is better to be careful, there is no one who regrets selling medicines in the world.

"Don't worry, girl, I can save it. It's just difficult to deal with those people sent by the former palace. They are nominally nuns and maids who serve the girl. They have always had their eyes above the top, so they are inevitably a little disobedient." Bai Bai Hui nodded solemnly. The girl didn't tell her clearly, but with their cleverness, they had already guessed many things. Anyway, they just followed what the master did, life or death.

In the name of teaching the rules of Daiyu Palace, the Empress Dowager sent four nuns, twenty maids, and thirty guards. The current Lin Mansion is not as simple as it used to be, it is as solid as iron walls.Daiyu and Mohan accepted it happily, and they didn't hold back the people in the palace.Fortunately, those people were in awe of Daiyu as the queen-to-be and did not dare to act recklessly, but it might not be the case after a long time.

"Those people, you don't need to worry about them. Nanny Han will greet them. The aunt with the highest rank is only the fourth grade. They all know Nanny Han's identity and dare not offend them. Let's guard against their hands and feet. Forgive them, they are just paying off to the gods." Daiyu snorted coldly in her heart, shame flashed across her face, the Empress Dowager really guarded against them, but after all she underestimated the Lin family.

In the small pavilion by the water, it is Xichun who is leaning on the railing and staring at the lake. She wears a willow-colored blouse on her upper body, and a long skirt with light blue soft willow pattern on her lower body.

Daiyu saw Xichun frowning with a sad face, lost in thought, she couldn't help laughing, she made a gesture of silence to everyone, she walked lightly to hide behind Xichun, and called softly: "Sister Xi."

Xichun's eyeballs remained motionless, she just looked at the fishing rod, and didn't notice a person standing behind her at all, she jumped up in fright, and turned around with a cry of "ah", it was Daiyu.Shamed and angry, she hugged Daiyu and complained: "Sister Lin, you have also turned bad, and you are all torturing people. Look, you scared my fish away."

"Oh, then I'll make an apology to my sister. My sister must have caught a lot of fish in the afternoon, and this one is also a lot, which is enough for dinner." Daiyu knew that Xichun had never been able to catch fish, so she said this on purpose, and returned one Jin asked the maid to bring the fish basket over and she counted it.

Xichun blushed immediately, and the maids covered their mouths and laughed lightly, Izumo really brought a fish basket half a person's height over, and put it not far from Daiyu's feet.

Daiyu took a few steps forward, and there seemed to be only two fish melon seeds, which were as small as two fingers. Yu, I don’t want to regret that my sister is good at skills, so let the sister-in-law in the kitchen cook it well, so we big guys can enjoy it.”

"Sister Lin, you are laughing at me." Xichun became more and more embarrassed, just these two fish melon seeds, made soup, and gave the big guy a feast, this was clearly Hong Guoguo's teasing her, Xichun twisted Daiyu's arm, It's almost like a twist bone.

Bixiang was originally a fun-loving and laughing person, Baba asked for this job to guard Xichun fishing, who expected to work all afternoon and didn't catch anything, so wronged, he asked around the fish basket: "Fish, fish! , although you are a little small, you are still a fish anyway. Don't blame us for being cruel. In fact, my sister, I can't even touch a fish bone. I guess it's not enough for our uncle to stick between his teeth. Our uncle is noble Man, you are lucky to be eaten by him, thank you Miss Xi."

Everyone watched and listened to Bixiang's dignified speech, and couldn't help laughing more and more, only Xichun just stomped her feet but had no choice.

Outside, there was a group of maids joking and getting closer. It turned out that Xueyan led a few little girls to cast nets directly to fish in the lake not far away. Of course, this was also arranged by Daiyu in advance. She had expected that Xichun would not be here. What will be the result of the battle, it is better to let Xueyan get some fish seriously for everyone to try.

Snow Goose rolled up his trouser legs and was still dripping with water. He rushed in excitedly, and shouted happily: "Girl, look, we caught a lot of fish. There may be hundreds of them. Everyone in the house will be lucky." Hey, there are quite a few Miss Xi here, let me see where it is?"

Xueyan walked around and found no fish, so she couldn't help being surprised, and then said with a smile: "Young lady's hands and feet are so fast, they must have been sent to the kitchen, ours are still outside."

Everyone laughed so hard, Daiyu leaned softly against Baihui, holding her mouth with a handkerchief, unable to utter a word.Xichun's face was so red that it was stained with rouge, she wished she could find a hole in the ground, stomped her feet and laughed for a long time and said, "Don't laugh, girl, I understand a truth today. Fishing and other things are done by arty people, If you want to eat fish, just cast a net. Xueyan, I will go with you tomorrow."

"Sister Xi is serious. Didn't you still talk about the girl's fishing intentions in the mountains and rivers and not the fish? You also used the Liuhe River to fish alone in the cold river and snow to encourage yourself. You changed your mind so quickly. Don't be a fisherman. Have you become a fisherman?" Daiyu blinked her big eyes, and Wu Nong spoke softly, so innocent and kind that Xichun couldn't get angry, so she had to obediently admit defeat and beg everyone for forgiveness.

Everyone gave up and discussed how to eat so many fish.Although the food and drink in Lin's mansion were always top-notch, but the wild fish in his own house had never been eaten, and they were caught by everyone's joint efforts, so they were naturally very interested.

Daiyu brushed the broken hair from her sideburns, her red lips parted slightly, and she smiled sweetly: "Xueyan, you have contributed the most to me today, and I will let you go to the kitchen and explain to me later. Save half of it for the day after tomorrow. Choose the crucian carp inside to make soup Everyone must have fish soup on the table for dinner, especially Miss Xi's. There is also some small bream marinated and then deep-fried, but it must be fried crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I can't give it to me Be lazy."

"Leave it to me, girl. I'll go and see it myself later, and I'm sure I won't waste half a day of hard work for sister Xueyan." Fang Fei heard the movement here, afraid that Daiyu would pass her on, so she rushed over.

"That's good, we just have you waiting for us to eat." Daiyu smiled even more when she saw Fang Fei coming.

The orders were almost finished, and the maids retreated one after another, leaving only a few close-fitting ones.

Daiyu ordered Baihui to send someone to guard the area, so she sat closer to Xichun, lowered her voice, and hesitated to speak.

Xichun had already guessed it in her heart, she didn't feel anything, but thought it was the best way, lest she stay here to drag Daiyu down, or meet Jia's family and everyone would not look good.She shook Daiyu's hand and said sincerely: "Sister Lin, you never treat me as an outsider, am I that kind of confused person? Anyway, no matter where you and Brother Lin send me, it must be a good place. Don't wrong me, I will listen to you.

I'm just a little bit reluctant for you, but I think we'll see each other sometime, so there's no need to be coy.Furthermore, I am a useless person. Of course I know that Sister Lin will not mind, but I don't want to delay your business because of me. I would rather die than do that.I treat you like my own sister. I will listen to you whatever you say, so don't feel that you have treated me badly.If it wasn't for you and brother Lin to take me in, I would either have become an aunt or I would have died. "

Daiyu felt a little desolate when she heard it, she felt sorry for Xichun's life experience, having a family is worse than having no home, this kind of pain made this little girl understand so clearly.Feeling more and more pitiful, she couldn't help but hugged Xichun in her arms, and sighed for a long time: "Oh, since my sister said so, I won't be polite to you.

The Empress Dowager, I don't think you can tell a little about our Lin family. It's even harder to say what happened in the future. Sister, you are a clear and lingering woman. There is no need to wade into this muddy water. My sister can only settle you far away. .It can be a year or two at the earliest, or seven or eight years at the slowest. My sister, I will definitely pick you up. You just need to live there with peace of mind. Everyone there is my brother's confidant.

The Jiangnan side is too eye-catching and not safe enough, but the area around the two lakes is also a good place, with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs.Our family has a small village there, which is relatively hidden in the mountains, but all life has been prepared long ago, so there is no need to worry about it.If my sister has no objections, there will be a chance at the end of this month, and I will send an appropriate person to escort my sister all the way. "

"Sister Lin, I'm not a child anymore, don't worry, I will take care of myself. You and Brother Lin are in the capital, be careful, my sister is still waiting for you to pick me up, you can't take your word for it. "Although what Daiyu said was simple, Xichun knew very well that it would be very dangerous for Daiyu and the others to stay in Beijing. Now that they are her only relatives, how could she not worry about it day and night.But she, a weak girl in the boudoir who doesn't understand everything, can't help them at all. Only when she is safe can Daiyu's worries be reduced.

Thinking like this, tears were already streaming down his eyes, but he didn't dare to cry loudly, his sobbing was so pitiful.

Daiyu gently patted her back, and whispered in her ear: "If you are really bored there, go to Huangshi Sun Garrison Mansion, there are people you know there, just be careful. "

Xichun was taken aback for a moment, she had hardly ever been out of the gate, and besides a few cousins, she knew only a few ladies from the capital, but they were not familiar with them.Since Sister Lin is assured that the person she is looking for must be very familiar, who could it be?Sun House, could it be, could it be the second sister?Didn't sister Lin say that the second sister went back to Datong with brother-in-law sun? From what sister Lin said, brother-in-law sun treated the second sister pretty well.

"Brother-in-law Sun will be transferred to Huangshi next month." Daiyu didn't want to hide it from Xichun, especially since she was young and had never traveled far. The older sister can rest her heart.

"It's just, will I attract attention if I go to see Second Sister?" Xichun was extremely happy, and immediately calmed down. Thinking of this, she frowned a bit like Daiyu.

"It's nothing. A fifth-rank defense can't attract the attention of Jingli, and outsiders won't know your identity." Daiyu showed a gentle smile. Xichun has grown up and can think about things, so she is more at ease .

Although parting is imminent, both of them don't want to make it too desolate, as if they want to say goodbye to life and death, as long as life is no different from daily life, they put their care in their hearts.

Ten days later, it will be the end of June.Many people know that the Lin family of the queen-to-be sent the female officials around the queen to Jiangnan to collect some dowry prepared by the queen's parents in the early years.There are some things in the dowry that are not easy for outsiders to see, so the personal female officer went there, but it didn't arouse outsiders' suspicion.What's not clear is that this group of people changed halfway, and continued southward all the way, but quietly disguised themselves as business travelers all the way to the direction of the two lakes.

After Xichun left, the Lin residence became much quieter.

The people sent by the queen mother did not take care of them, and most of them were very quiet.The four foster nuns wanted to teach Daiyu how to behave, but she was taught by her third-rank aunt, Nanny Han, and Daiyu was kind to them when it was their turn to dictate, and they only thought Daiyu was a weak girl. Don't worry about it.

The maids saw that the nanny didn't care, so they were naturally happy and relaxed.What's more, Daiyu is often surrounded by a large group of people, they are not allowed to intervene at all, and if the master does not order them, it is not good to be too eager to curry favor, offend the master's most confidant sisters, and they will not have to suffer in the future.

The guards were dedicated to their duties, and they patrolled tightly every day, not even a fly could come in or out at will.However, it is not certain who they are.

The precious and confidential items in the mansion that are not easily seen by outsiders were taken away when Xichun left.Can you not let someone take a few boxes to Jiangnan?

Mo Han is in a hurry every day. After all, once a decision is made, there is no turning back. If he makes a bad plan, he will lose his life. He hasn't stayed with Daiyu, so he really doesn't want to die.

On this day, Mo Han didn't return to the mansion until the third watch.Daiyu wanted to wait for him, but she couldn't hold on anymore and had already fallen asleep.Even if he fell asleep, Mo Han couldn't rest assured if he didn't go to see her, so he sneaked into Daiyu's boudoir without being noticed.

Xueyan was a light sleeper, and when she heard the footsteps of the uncle, she quickly put on her clothes and got up to meet them.

"Miss asleep?" The deep voice was extremely gentle in this quiet night.

"Not long after I fell asleep, the princess and two grandmas came over today. The girl is a little tired after playing all day." This is not the naughty and lovely snow goose in the daytime, she is as stable as Nanny Han, who has been following Nanny Han these years For nothing.

Mo Han arrived at the bed, raised the pea-green curtain, sat in front of the bed, and gently smoothed the extremely thin blanket by the faint candlelight.Xueyan was quick enough to go to the guards outside.

Daiyu woke up immediately, she didn't sleep well, no matter how tired she was before her brother came back, she just dozed off and dared not go back to sleep.Sitting up quickly, she gently threw herself into Mo Han's arms.

"Did I wake you up?" The silk nightgown was cool and smooth, and you could feel the delicate and moist skin inside with your fingertips.

"No. Did something happen when you came back so late?" Daiyu raised her head, her eyes were bright, but there was lingering affection.

Mo Han took her into his arms again, stroked her silk-like smooth black hair, and said flatly: "The Queen Mother suddenly cleaned up all the people in the palace, and most of the people we put in the palace were picked out." Fortunately, nothing was wrong, but for the sake of safety, the Empress Dowager replaced all the people who were loyal to the palace or her confidantes. The success rate of palace changes is very low."

"What? Why did the empress dowager change people so well?" Daiyu was astonished. Could it be that the empress dowager discovered something?

"No. The queen mother is an extremely cautious person. She is wary of those who are not trusted by her. This time, some people she was not sure about were dismissed in the name of entering the palace this time, and replaced with her own people, but she probably didn't find anything. "He didn't want her to worry, but if she didn't explain some things clearly, she would only be more worried, so it's better for the two of them to be honest with each other, and just face everything together.

Daiyu didn't speak for a long time, hugged Mo Han for a long time, and sighed softly: "I originally wanted to minimize the casualties, but now I'm afraid it won't work. Fortunately, we have made two preparations, but I'm afraid that many innocent people will be affected. , I can't bear it."

How could Mo Han not understand her, otherwise they wouldn't have tried their best to make arrangements in the palace, didn't they just want to solve this matter in the simplest way?But they don't have only this way. Even if they don't want to take the last step, they have been preparing secretly all the time. Maybe that way the Queen Mother will be forced to have no defense, full of loopholes, and they will take advantage of the opportunity to suppress the war. In the range.

"I can't help myself. Although the Queen Mother is a person, although she has some skills, she is too ambitious. She only has power in her heart, regardless of the life and death of the people. Such a person cannot lead the country. Once the Queen Mother passes away, the emperor is cowardly but tyrannical. I'm afraid there will be no one to control it He, the consequences are even more unimaginable. We only want to survive, but others will not let us go." He doesn't care about ethics and morality, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, only her, and he accepts everything for her.

"Well, brother is right. Since daddy has told brother not to let the former emperor die without knowing why, then it is for the sake of repaying the world's innocence. However, I just want to be with brother in my heart." Daiyu listened Looking at Mo Han's heartbeat, I feel that the two people's heartbeats are in the same rhythm, and they are actually smiling. Could it be that they are in love with each other.

Hearing Daiyu's light laughter, Mo Han was stunned for a while before he smiled and said, "Why are you so happy?"

"I won't tell you." Daiyu blinked playfully, her red lips pouting slightly charmingly.

The breeze is bright and the moon is bright, the beautiful woman is in my arms, should I do something at this time, the dull air in the room is swept away, but there is an exciting and charming style.Mo Han lifted Daiyu's chin tenderly, his eyes were full of tenderness, which made people's hearts beat wildly and unstoppably produced a kind of longing.

The corners of her brows and eyes, her light frowns and smiles, her perky autumn waves, her misty temples, her glistening red lips, and her icy muscles and bones, are all imprinted with his exclusive aura and obsession, Print the shallow pour and low singing that he only has.I don't know if it was she or him who drowned, and whether it was he or she who drowned?

As lingering as the spring breeze blowing on the face, as soft as the light touch of a feather, gently conveying the heat of the two burning each other.Whether it is panting or moaning, only the crescent moon hanging quietly in the sky in the summer night knows.

They want to be a husband and wife, a husband and wife recognized by the world, so before that cup of marriage wine, Mo Han will restrain himself, never hurt her at all, and will not bring her any stains.

Daiyu fell asleep quietly, and Mo Han quietly went back to the room, only dozed off for two hours before getting up in a hurry.
