Love the Red House

The sky is like washing, the chrysanthemums are like brocade, and the sky is cool like autumn.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu sits quietly under the window in the morning, arranging her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, while Xueyan stands by, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, with a submissive demeanor.

The room was quiet and picturesque, when the little girl Chunxian came in with a bouquet of chrysanthemums, bowed to Daiyu, and said with a smile, "Young lady woke up so early."

Daiyu looked up and saw that the chrysanthemum in her hand was so bright that it still had a few drops of crystal dew, so she smiled and said: "This chrysanthemum is very beautiful, don't worry about it."

Chunxian was tending to the chrysanthemums, carefully inserting them into the vase, and respectfully said: "This is what a servant girl should do, why should the girl say such a thing?"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Daiyu, with a vague look of hesitation on his face, and finally let out a sigh of relief, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "Although the status of slaves is low, girls have always treated them with courtesy. , even if the servant girl said something wrong, the girl will not be offended, will she?"

Daiyu couldn't help being startled, closed the dressing box, got up and walked to her side, and said in a gentle voice, "Just speak up if you have something to say, don't be shy."

Chunxian nodded, bowed her head slightly, and said in a casual way: "Young lady has been staying at home all the time, so she must not know. These days, Miss Bao often goes to Yihong Courtyard, and she is very close to Second Master Bao."

Having said that, he raised his head to look at Daiyu, and lowered his voice a little: "I want to persuade the girl, if you have free time, go for a walk."

After hearing these words, Daiyu frowned lightly, feeling powerless in her heart. Why do everyone here have to circle around this topic?Why, in their eyes and hearts, they only see the existence of Baoyu?

With a soft sigh, Daiyu calmed down, and said nonchalantly: "Whatever Miss Bao likes, let her go, I don't want to join in the fun. From now on, you should also remember that I don't want to mention Baoyu less. love to hear."

Hearing that Chunxian opened her mouth wide, her face was astonished, and she was a little dazed. Daiyu was depressed and didn't want to explain. She just turned around and looked at Xueyan, and said with emotion: "It's like this every day, I'm so tired."

Xueyan often stayed by Daiyu's side, and she knew what was on her mind. After hearing this, she also sighed: "It's no wonder that everyone speaks the same thing as Second Master Bao. Where can the girl stay?"

Speaking of this, her eyes moved slightly, a thought flashed faintly, she bit her lips lightly and said: "Girl, there seems to be something wrong with this matter. A few days ago, the girl told Miss Bao that she should deal less with the second master in the future. Why is she still going to the Yihong Academy now? Seeing that the draft will be held in the spring of next year, it stands to reason that she should rest assured on the side of Second Master Bao, and should concentrate on preparing for the draft."

After hearing this, Daiyu pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "I heard you say this, this matter is really a bit strange. Miss Xue always has a purpose in doing things, and this time will never be an exception."

After thinking about it for a while, I already had a calculation in my heart, so I looked at Chunxian, raised my eyebrows and said, "You often go out and walk around, and you must know something about Yihongyuan and Baoyu. Do you know whether Baoyu has Did you do anything special? Did you ever call him over to the Beijing Palace?"

Because she talked about Baoyu, Daiyu didn't care. Chunxian was surprised by her change. When she was in a daze, she heard Daiyu's question and quickly calmed down and replied, "Young lady knows things like a god." , the servant girl heard from the little maid below that the former Prince of Bei posted a post and specially invited Second Master Bao to visit the mansion to enjoy the chrysanthemum and have a happy gathering."

Looking up at Daiyu, he frowned and asked timidly, "Why did the girl suddenly ask this?"

"It's nothing, don't think too much," Daiyu raised her red lips slightly, and the corners of her lips drew a cold arc, but her voice was calm, "Okay, there's nothing here, you can go down."

Chunxian was ignorant in her heart, but she didn't dare to disobey Daiyu's words, so she saluted quickly before saying goodbye and going out.

When the waiting room quieted down, Xueyan smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "Miss Bao, it's really hard work for those who are capable, and she created a rumor of a golden and jade marriage, and now she's starting to plan for the Northern Palace. I just wondered, how can a girl who is so popular and only sees the rich and powerful in her eyes always be praised for her stability and generosity, as a rare lady from everyone? If all the ladies of decent families look like her, I think, the world It’s really a ghost.”

Her willow eyebrows are upside down and she is angry, but Daiyu is calm and composed, with a trace of quiet smiles, shaking her head and saying: "You really worry about it, what kind of person is Miss Bao, and what she wants to do is all about her." Why are you upset about her own affairs?"

Glancing at Xueyan, she gave a soft "huh" and then said, "How do you know that she is interested in King Beijing?"

"I guessed it myself," Xue Yan replied, curling her lips, "The other day when Second Master Bao was here, he mentioned that Prince Bei was outstanding, well-behaved, and extremely powerful. The most rare thing is that this man has not yet married a wife. At that time, Miss Bao was so jealous that she kept pestering Baoyu and asking about the situation of Prince Bei. I reckoned that she must have thought that she was pretty and looked forward to being able to climb the high branch of Prince Bei's mansion and become a dignified person. princess."

Speaking of this, Ning Mei stared at Daiyu, and said softly: "This is what I think in my heart, I wonder if I guess it right?"

Daiyu smiled slightly, clapped her hands and said: "That's right, that's right. I never thought that Xueyan would have such insights. It's really extraordinary."

Hearing her words of praise, Xueyan's brows and eyes were filled with smiles, but she tried her best to calm down and said softly: "Young lady is too flattering, in fact, I have been with you for many years, and if I have her pointing, I will be no matter how stupid I am." , should also be enlightened."

The eyebrows flickered, the smile on the lips turned cold slightly, and he said again: "Speaking of Miss Bao, it's really unbearable. She obviously made a good relationship with gold and jade, but now she wants to use Baoyu to climb The richer and more powerful Prince Bei is really greedy and lacks the slightest dignity. It is ridiculous that the Second Master Bao is actually ignorant, and he was secretly calculated by her, and he is still confused. He is really a fool. .”

Hearing her quick talk, Daiyu raised her eyes to look at her, and said with a broken smile: "You may have gone too far, but this matter is indeed a bit funny. The second aunt is only thinking that the Xue family is the emperor. Shang, must be very rich, looking forward to getting a rich dowry after marrying Xue's family, but Xue's family has a different idea, these two families are really plotting against each other, and they don't know how rich they will be in the future. "

Xueyan also smiled, and after a while, panic flashed across her face, and her voice was a little anxious: "Well, Miss Bao's wrists have always been extremely high. , when the time comes, he must be arrogant and domineering, he can do whatever he wants, and no one can control him."

Having said that, Dingding looked at Daiyu and said worriedly: "Speaking of which, Miss Bao and Miss Bao have always been incompatible, and Miss Bao is jealous of the girl's talent and appearance. Bringing up the old matter again, I don’t know how to deal with the girl.”

After hearing these words, Daiyu's face was calm, without any fluctuations in her expression, she pursed her lips and said, "Xueyan not only talks a lot today, but also has a much more irritable temper than before, it really shouldn't be."

Speaking of this, she smiled lightly, raised Ruyu's plain hand, patted Xueyan's shoulder, and comforted: "Forget it, don't worry about it, how can Miss Yibao's character win the eyes of Prince Bei? "

Hearing this, Xueyan was startled, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Daiyu, her words were full of doubts: "Why did you say that, Miss?"

Daiyu smiled slightly, her eyebrows were picturesque, her words were gentle and gentle, and she also carried a touch of tranquility and indifference: "Although I have never seen the prince of the North, according to Baoyu's words that day, I think that He must be a gentleman with lofty insight, gentleness and affection."

"At a very young age, he had already taken over the throne, and he was also a relative of the emperor. With his noble status, he has seen more than hundreds of young ladies in the Hou Men's palace, but he has always been undecided. , but I just want to choose a woman who is sincere, caring, and confidant."

"Sister Bao's identity is not as good as those girls from rich families, and her skills may not be able to catch up. Speaking of chance, her chances of meeting Prince Bei are even slimmer. However, when it comes to temperament, she seems to be different from those girls. People are exactly the same, there is no difference."

"Over the years, the Prince of the North has always been alienated from those women. Now, seeing the deep-minded and dignified Sister Bao, wouldn't he be tempted? If that's the case, can he still be worthy of the title of young sage king?"

After hearing this explanation, Xueyan suddenly realized, with a sense of relief gradually showing on her face, she respectfully said: "Miss sees world affairs much more clearly than I do, it really is my own wild thinking and worrying too much."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, rested her forehead with her hand, looked at Daiyu with a smile, and said softly: "Young lady always stays in the boudoir, she has always been indifferent, and rarely praises anyone. Listening to the meaning of what the young lady said today, unexpectedly It is really rare to praise this Prince of the North."

Daiyu has always been frank and straightforward. After hearing this, she didn't shy away from it. She nodded directly and said Xu Sheng: "Yes, although I have never met Prince Bei, I admire him very much. Although I don't know anything about the talents in the hall, he has a sincere temperament, he is not bound by official status, does not care about the status of rich or poor, and only wants to choose his concubine according to his own heart. I feel that this man is worthy of respect."

Speaking of this, her crimson lips were slightly pursed, with a smile as warm as jade, and her words were soft and sincere: "A gentleman must be matched by a beautiful woman. , he was able to meet a confidante who was connected with each other, and made a good story in the world."

Wu Nong's soft words were soft and gentle, and the silver sunshine like a ray silently fell on her body, making her cheeks bathed in the sun, making her look extraordinarily beautiful and holy.

After hearing these words and looking at such a sincere Daiyu, Xueyan lost her mind for a long time, suddenly her heart moved, she nodded and said: "After listening to the girl's words, I also feel that this Prince of the North is indeed different. I believe that one day, he will meet the woman he likes and have a good marriage." After speaking, he stared at Daiyu intently, with an intriguing smile on his lips.

Dai Yuhui was heartbroken, she pondered for a while, she had already understood, a faint rosy glow appeared on her cheeks, and she scolded softly: "Don't think about it, I praise Prince Bei, I just admire his character, other than that , nothing else."

After hearing this, although Xue Yan still felt that she and the Prince of the North were the most affectionate people, she did not dare to laugh any more, she hurriedly collected her expression, and said in a solemn voice: "Young lady, how can I not know? Don't say that Prince Bei and the girl have never met before, but if they met for real, with the girl's temperament, how can there be any selfish intentions?"

Hearing this, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand to straighten her skirt, the blush on her face gradually faded, and she returned to the indifferent and calm before.

Seeing this, Xue Yan couldn't help but feel relieved, pondered for a while, then suddenly coughed, and said softly: "Okay, I've made this matter clear, the weather is fine today, why don't you go out for a walk, the girl is always in the house Stuffy and uncomfortable."

Daiyu is easy-going by nature, she nodded her head and said: "Your words are also reasonable, that's all, I don't read books anymore, let's go out together and have a look at the fourth younger sister. Her temperament is the most deserted, and few people go to visit, think about it It must be a little lonely."

After hearing this, Xueyan clapped her hands in agreement, hurriedly took a coat, and waited for Daiyu to put it on. Fang supported Daiyu, walked out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion with light steps, and took the road to Xichun's residence.
