The Fate of the Red Chamber

Mo Han and Dai Yu were having dinner in Wanyuan, the two brothers and sisters had long forgotten the unhappiness of yesterday, they ate happily, and after a while they finished the meal to discuss the New Year's affairs in the mansion.There were more than two months before the New Year's Eve, but the Lin family had been in the filial piety period for the past few years, and had never had a serious New Year's Eve, so this time it must be lively.

After hearing the little maid's report, Xueyan was full of suspicion, so she had to interrupt the two masters: "Miss, uncle, the second master Bao of the Jia family is yelling outside, and he must see the girl. The concierge is afraid that he will be so noisy. In order to hinder the girl's reputation, I had to let him in temporarily. This time, he was stopped in the front yard."

Mo Han's expression froze, his anger welled up, and he was about to beat him out.Daiyu shook her head at him, and lightly instructed Xueyan: "Put him in the side hall first, and say I'll be there in a while."

"Sister, why do you care about this kind of person?" His tone was very dissatisfied.

"Hey, my brother doesn't know Baoyu's temperament yet. If you ignore him, he will make more trouble. It's not good for people to watch. I'll go and see him and see what he says. It's time to stop." Daiyu guessed The reason why Baoyu broke in for no reason is that she grew up, so it would be better to explain clearly. She is still grateful for the brother-sister relationship that protected each other in those years.

Mo Han couldn't help it, and waited for Daiyu to change into the clothes for meeting guests in the inner room. Seeing that she was wearing an almost new long skirt with folded branches and white plums embroidered with light gold trim on a lake blue background, he frowned slightly.He grabbed Daiyu and went back to the inner room, and picked out an unremarkable half-worn dress with plain flowers and flowers on it. After Daiyu put it on, he thought it was still too beautiful, so he shook his head and sighed secretly that his sister was so beautiful in the world. Nothing can hide her beauty and brilliance.

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and the two held hands and went to the front.

Baoyu fidgeted there, looking in with all his might, but was blocked by some servant girls several times when he tried to break in, so he couldn't care less about drinking tea.

As soon as he saw Daiyu's figure, he went forward to pull Daiyu without saying a word, but Mo Han stepped forward to block her.Baoyu was very anxious and added three points. He was so angry that he wanted to push Mo Han away, and reprimanded him: "I am talking to Sister Lin. Why do you stop me? Hurry up and get out of the way."

Baoyu was rude to Mo Han, Daiyu was naturally dissatisfied, and asked in a low voice: "Baoyu, you are so good that we can talk while you are sitting, otherwise I will invite you out, our Linfu Temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha."

Baoyu was full of grievances, but in the end he didn't dare to offend Daiyu, and returned to his seat sullenly.Daiyu Mohan took the first seat.

"What are you making a fuss about outside in the early morning?" Daiyu ordered the servant girl to change the tea again before asking slightly dissatisfied.

"Sister Lin." Baoyu stood up when he heard that, but Daiyu gave him a cold glance, and sat down helplessly, expressing his heartfelt affection, "Sister Lin, since you came to our house, you understand how I treat you." , but I have wronged my sister a little bit. Why do you cling to my sister first when it’s delicious and fun? We can't get close, we are first cousins, why should he stop us.

Yesterday the old lady came to propose marriage to her younger sister. You don't know my younger sister, but he flatly rejected her. When will it be his turn to make a decision about my younger sister?When I made friends with my sister, he didn't exist yet, how could he destroy my beautiful marriage with my sister.Sister Lin, as long as you say a word today, you want us to be together forever, the old lady will definitely make the decision for us, and he will not ruin the good thing. "In Baoyu's heart, he and Daiyu are childhood sweethearts, and Lin Mohan just stepped in halfway, so don't care at all.

What he said before was quite human, and Daiyu also felt that he took good care of her in those years, but what he said later was too stupid. If she said such words to a boudoir girl, how would she behave if it spread out.He couldn't help clenching his fists with anger, his complexion was pale, and his chest heaved and heaved and he couldn't breathe smoothly.

The more Mo Han listened, the more depressed he became. This Jia Baoyu really has the temper of a playboy. Doesn't he know that spreading these words will ruin Daiyu? He really deserves to be damned.

"Baoyu, hello, you are so kind. My elder brother is my eldest brother. He can take care of this kind of thing. When will I, a girl, have room to speak up? I think about your care for me for several years, I I don't care about you, I hope you don't say such things in the future, otherwise we can't even be cousins." This is my own business, so I don't want my brother to intervene, otherwise Baoyu will only blame her brother more and more, so Daiyu snatched it. He spoke in front of Mo Han.

"Sister Lin, don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if he's here, I'll protect you, we don't need to be afraid of him. You just tell the truth." Baoyu froze for a moment, then let go, thinking that Daiyu was afraid of Mo Han, forgive him laughed.

Seeing that he didn't understand what she meant at all, and was still wishful thinking, Daiyu was really angry: "Jia Baoyu, I will tell you clearly today. The marriage with you is not opposed by my brother, I don't want to , you understand now."

Sister Lin has been with me day and night for so many years, and I have already saved Sister Lin in my heart, and Sister Lin must have saved my own.Why, why did Sister Lin say that she didn't want to marry herself? It's impossible. I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it.Baoyu felt dizzy for a while, and could hardly understand Daiyu's words, and even thought that what happened just now was just a hallucination, how could sister Lin be so unfeeling to her?

Daiyu Mohan thought that Baoyu was going to be rude again, but unexpectedly he just stood there in a daze, shook his head for a moment, looked at Daiyu with a gentle smile: "Sister Lin, I understand what you mean. Both of us grew up in front of the old lady, and then a sister Bao came, and the mother-in-law and the maids speculated and spread those stupid words, you don't have to shy away from it. I only have sister and brother feelings for sister Bao, in terms of closeness, we It's the most recent one, Sister Bao is just two aunts, and my love for Sister Bao is not as much as for my younger sister."

Daiyu and Mohan didn't expect Baoyu to say such a thing, and they were shocked for a long time.Although Baoyu did have a deep affection for Daiyu, it is a pity that Daiyu's affection for Jia's mansion and Baoyu today is not the same as that of the past.

"Baoyu, you didn't understand what I meant. Maybe when I was young, I was jealous because of Sister Bao's closeness to you. It's just that I was innocent and selfish when I was a child. You are my best playmate in Jia's mansion. Sister Bao The appearance made everyone in the house praise Sister Bao as a good person, and secretly said that I am petty, but even you like to play with Sister Bao. I live alone in your house, and I don’t have any brothers or sisters. , I naturally regard you as the closest person, if even you like Sister Bao and neglect me, I will be extremely sad.

But, Baoyu, none of this has anything to do with my brother's refusal.It's me, I don't want to go to your house again, I don't want to look at the plants and trees there and recall the loneliness, sadness, and sadness that day.I know that you have always been very kind to me, and I am also very grateful. I even regard you as more important than my second sister, third sister, and fourth sister. I sincerely regard you as an older brother, but it does not mean that I am willing to be with you, with you.Do you understand it? "

The beautiful and refined face was covered with a layer of loneliness and determination when she shook her head lightly, and when she recalled her lowly, it was also a farewell, maybe from now on she would truly break with the past.From today onwards, she is no longer the wayward and sad sister Lin, but Lin Daiyu, who has experienced the transformation from cocoon to butterfly.Despite the pain and reluctance to give up, she and Baoyu are completely over, and they can't even keep the relationship between cousins.

Baoyu listened quietly, and the scenes of acquaintance and acquaintance with Daiyu flashed through his mind, with joy, shock, denial and pain, and finally turned into a never-ending affection.He wanted to lie to himself, but he couldn't. He knew that sister Lin didn't bother to tell lies.A little infatuation when I was young, a little lovesickness, and I went eastward for a while.

"Sister Lin, you have to take care. Cousin Lin, sister Lin is not in good health and can't catch cold. In spring and autumn, she is the most prone to coughing. You have to take good care of her in the future and don't wrong her. Sister Lin is the cleanest person. , you can't use her in exchange for power and wealth, or I won't let you go. Sister Lin, I'm leaving." The calm and calm tone, with no ups and downs, and a slightly smiling face, just like Meiyu when we first met son.After all, the loneliness when turning around cannot deceive others, nor can the extremely restrained staggering steps.

The moment Baoyu stepped out of the door, tears flowed down her cheeks like broken pearls. Daiyu watched Baoyu leave dimly, and no matter how reluctant she was, there was only remembrance, the remembrance of her youthful years.

Unexpectedly, Baoyu thought so deeply about his sister, and he was still full of concern when he was rejected, and he didn't even question him. Maybe this is the Jia Baoyu described by Duke Cao.It's just that he is still too cowardly to protect Daiyu, so don't blame him, he is just trying to protect Daiyu.

Mo Han got up suddenly, and whispered a few words to Xia Cheng, who was guarding outside the courtyard, and told him to take Second Master Bao back home, and he must send it to Jia's mansion in person, without any accidents.

Turning around again, facing the younger sister with tears all over her face, she couldn't even utter a word of comfort. After crying, she must be able to let go of her childhood sweetheart in those years.

It is said that Baoyu returned to Jia's mansion under Xia Cheng's escort in a daze, without going to anyone, and went directly to his own Jiangyunxuan.

I found an exquisite carved red lacquer box. This is the purse that Sister Lin made for me. This is the Nine Links that I and Sister Lin have solved. Something for Sister Lin.Play it one by one, put it into the box, lock it tightly, and put it in the cage by yourself.

The maids serving Baoyu, Xiren, Qingwen, Sheyue, Qiuwen, etc., all stared at Baoyu nervously. Today's Bao Erye is so wrong that he seems to have lost his soul. He hasn't said a word since he came back. .These seem to be things that Miss Lin has used. What is Second Master Bao doing?Baoyu has always been a little crazy, and everyone is used to it, but this situation is so unusual, nothing will happen.

Baoyu was still grinding ink and writing on his own. After writing several large characters, he fell on the bed exhausted and burst into tears.

In an instant, all the maids and women inside and outside Jiang Yunxuan heard it, they were overwhelmed with fright, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the end Xiren had been following Baoyu for a long time, and he thought he was the best at handling Baoyu's thoughts. After a while, he stepped forward, pulled Baoyu's sleeve, and persuaded, "Second Master, who has wronged you? If you want to beat or scold, you can vent your anger on us. What do you do if you call us like this? The old lady will scold us for not serving the master well. If there is anything, you can tell us anyway. We are maids and cannot vent our anger on the second master. Are there any old ladies?" At the end, even he choked up.

"Come on, leave me alone, let's go, leave me alone." Baoyu pushed Xiren hard, Xiren lost his footing and fell to the ground, crying too.

Everyone saw that the second master even blamed the attacker, and knew that something was wrong, so Qingwen ran out smartly, and when she didn't look for the old lady at this time, when will she wait.

When Jia's mother heard Qingwen's report, she was also dumbfounded. Baoyu came back from Lin's mansion. Why didn't she come to see herself first?Without thinking about it carefully, Mother Jia hurriedly helped the maid's hand and rushed to Jiangyunxuan tremblingly.
