Love the Red House

Chapter 45: Talking

In the light smoke, under the rain curtain, the man in white clothes like snow, and the girl with cloudy temples and beautiful face, but they faced each other silently, neither of them said a word.

Seeing this situation, Xue Yan and the servant named Ling Feng naturally couldn't say anything, they just stayed by their master's side and remained silent, but they both had a vague thought in their hearts, this pair of men and women are all elegant and outstanding The characters make today's encounter seem quite unusual.

This situation is so beautiful, perhaps, this is the legendary encounter between a gifted man and a beautiful woman?

If so, I can't help feeling a longing in my heart, I don't know what kind of encounter will happen between these two people after today?

Come to think of it, each other's past will be as beautiful as a legendary story, and they will gradually get to know each other and become a good story that the world loves to talk about, a beautiful legend, right?

For a moment the world is quiet, only the boat is drifting with the wind, the ripples are clear and shallow, and the raindrops are still beating on the lotus leaves, little by little, long and dense, as if beating on the heart of a person.

I don't know how long it took, Shui Rong let out a sigh of relief, and finally recovered from the dream, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and the words were gentle like jade: "The girl is the daughter of Lin Tanhua, right?"

He couldn't help sighing, ever since he heard the song "Ask the Chrysanthemum" that day, he often thought that a person who can write such elegant poems must have an air of elegance.

He has always understood this point, but he never imagined that when he actually sees this young girl now, he will still be shocked and throbbed in the depths of his heart.

The twinkling dimples are like peaches, and the black color traces the willow eyebrows. Standing like a river, a beautiful woman can be a city.

In his dreams and out of his dreams, he never thought that one day, he would be lucky enough to meet such a beautiful woman.

Daiyu often lives in the deep boudoir, and she has only met a few men, and before that, she had heard of the name "Shui Rong", so after seeing him suddenly, she would be silently lost in thought, not knowing how to speak.

Now when she heard Shui Rong's question, Daiyu was startled and immediately woke up, her dimples could not help being filled with a trace of red clouds, as bright as a stream of clouds, she looked more and more delicate, she lowered her eyelids lightly, nodded and said: "Exactly."

Because etiquette is at stake, he lightly rolled up his cloud sleeves, held his lap for a blessing, and said calmly, "I have seen Prince Bei."

It's just a few words, but what the vermilion lips uttered was pure Wu Nong's soft words, with a touch of softness and a light waxy meaning, which entered the ears slowly, and people couldn't help but be intoxicated by it, not knowing what night it is.

Shui Rong was tall and tall, and his mind fell into a trance involuntarily. After a while, Fang Zai raised his hands on the boat to help him, and said slowly: "Miss Lin is a distinguished guest, so there is no need to be polite."

The language is gentle and clear, like water, unconsciously, there is a trace of deep tenderness that I didn't realize.

After seeing the ceremony, although she praised this man very highly from the bottom of her heart, she still felt lingering fear because she heard too many gossips when she was in Jia's mansion, so Daiyu smiled calmly, because she said: "I have been out for a long time, and I should go back to Qingzhi Pavilion. Prince, please do what you want." After saying that, he nodded to Shui Rong, turned around slowly, and wanted to walk away from the lakeside.

Seeing this, Shui Rong felt anxious for a while. Although he still couldn't tell the reason, he had a very clear idea. After seeing him today, he was already fascinated. No matter what, he didn't want her to leave just like that. Besides, he still had other things to do. To ask this woman.

But after a while, Shui Rong stopped talking and said: "Wait a minute, girl, Shui Rong still has something to say." While speaking, he tapped his toes, and with a movement of his body, he got up from the boat in the air and landed lightly on the shore .

This series of movements, like flowing clouds and flowing water, was done in one go, and the clothes fluttered like a lift, making him more and more handsome and extraordinary, indescribably chic and moving.

Seeing him so leisurely and bluntly floating ashore, Daiyu's eyes widened with astonishment, she forgot about other things for a while, she just bit her cherry lips lightly, and whispered: "I heard that the prince is civil and military. Shuangquan, could it be that what the prince used just now is the lightness kung fu described in ancient books?"

Hearing such innocent and clear words, seeing her curious expression again, Shui Rong was slightly intoxicated, with a smile on her brow, she nodded and said: "That's right, Miss Lin is a boudoir girl, but I know what I'm using is Lightness kung fu, it can be seen that on weekdays, Miss Lin is quite dabbled in ancient history and classics, and her family has a long history."

Hearing this, Daiyu was stunned for a moment, a ray of peach color appeared on her white as jade cheeks, and said delicately: "My lord is absurd, I don't know anything about these things, I'm just idle and bored, see After reading some books, I saw that there were knights like Hongxian and Nie Yinniang in it, and I admired them very much."

Speaking of this, Yan Yan lifted his eyes lightly, and the bright light like water flowed over Shui Rong's body, his delicate face was dizzy, but he still said calmly: "Although I have always been fascinated by it, but because I am in the boudoir, I have never seen any knights. It's really lucky to see the prince performing kung fu."

Shui Rong's original heart was just because he didn't want her to leave and was so anxious for a moment that he unintentionally showed his martial arts.

Unexpectedly, the inadvertent action was praised by the beautiful lady. For a moment, Shui Rong suddenly realized that he was a little unbelievable. It is Sansei who is lucky."

While speaking, although he knew that he should not be rude when meeting for the first time, his clear eyes still fell on the beautiful woman, as if he couldn't help it.

At a glance, it turns out that you can be insane even if you are not drunk.

Because, even though when he was on the boat, he already knew that the woman in front of him was graceful, elegant and picturesque, and extremely beautiful, but now, when he got closer, he could see all her charms.

But seeing the beautiful woman with cloudy temples like fog, she is only held by an exquisite jasper hairpin with seven treasures, and pearl water drop earrings the size of rice grains are hanging from her ears, swaying slowly, emitting a faint blue light, quietly enveloping her cheeks, adding a touch of beauty .

Her pair of bright eyes, looking forward to the brilliance, are as bright as the stars, and the slender eyebrows are black without drawing, but with shallow frown lines, like a cage of green smoke, and like a newborn orchid leaf, which further accentuates a pair of eyes. The pupils are clear and clear, like two traces of autumn water, the beauty and beauty are indescribable.

The water-soluble position is high and powerful, and I have seen a lot of noble girls, princesses and princesses, even the concubines in the harem, and there are many acquaintances. It can be said that they are well-informed and not narrow-minded.

However, at this moment, Shui Rong feels that even though there are thousands of beauties in this world, with different styles and different styles, the woman with light makeup and plain clothes in front of her is unique, and no one else can match her.

If so, after looking closely like this, the misty eyes slowly overflowed from the water-soluble eyes, and there were little ripples in the heart, and a feeling of admiration spontaneously arose spontaneously, and it could not be stopped.However, thinking about it carefully, this is also a matter of course. Before that, he had heard about the talent of this girl, she was really clever, bright, and natural. Now, seeing her in real life, and discovering her beauty and temperament, it was his own. I have never seen it before, how can I not be moved by such a woman?

Come to think of it, such a perfect woman with outstanding talent, temperament, and appearance, no matter who she changes, she cannot remain indifferent.

I'm afraid, after seeing it, everyone will fall in love with it, so don't you forget it?

Even so, he is not a vulgar man after all. While admiring and remembering him, seeing this slender woman with smoke-like eyebrows, clear and shallow frown lines, and a lingering sadness in her eyes, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

Yinsi: This girl comes from a scholarly family, and her father is an upright official with outstanding talents. It is self-evident that her status is as prestigious as Tsinghua University.

Such a woman should have lived peacefully in her boudoir, admiring flowers and embroidery every day, enjoying rich clothes and fine food, living in peace of mind, and living a life of joy and happiness.

However, fate was so unfair, it treated her so harshly that she lost her parents when she was very young, so she had to come to Beijing alone, live in the deep walled high courtyard of Jia's mansion, and live with her grandmother.

Seeing her dear parents leaving her one by one, this girl must be suffering in extreme pain.

When such pain is unbearable, but because of the situation, he has to leave his hometown and come to the capital to live under the fence, alone in the big family, facing a desolate and lonely life, how can he relax?

Although he knew little about the affairs of Jia's mansion because he was busy with government affairs, he had been around the palace and the palace for a long time, which made him understand that rich families are mostly places where right and wrong gather, because everyone yearns for long-term wealth and honor, and most of them Then they will have selfishness and carefully plan their own future, so naturally they will not be able to treat other people with sincerity.

As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't help but think of her poems, which include the words "a lonely sign is proud of the world, and whoever hides together, the same flower blooms late". From the poetry, one can see that the woman in front of her is pure and bright. Conservative, unwilling to conform to the popular customs, in the big family with warm and cold feelings, still not changing the sentiment, deep in the heart, but because he is not understood by the world, he laments the vast sea of ​​people, hard to find a confidant, lonely and lonely.

She was originally a noble girl in the boudoir, but her fate was wandering, and she lived in a bush of Luo Qi, but she was so lonely.

For so many days and nights, what kind of torment and pain this poetic, pure and noble girl has endured in her heart? Shallow and clear, my heart can't help but overflow with infinite pity and compassion, but I am full of emotions and have nothing to say.

During this time of thinking, the autumn rain was still falling on him thinly, with a thin coolness, but because of his thoughts, he was completely occupied by the woman in front of him, and he didn't feel the slightest bit about foreign affairs.

Although his clothes were wet, but because of his demeanor and handsomeness, his figure was still graceful, which made people dazzled and captivated by him.

Under the gaze of his clear water-like eyes, Daiyu felt coy and shy, lowered her brows and eyes, and after half a day, she just raised her eyes and saw the water-soluble pupils in the thin mist and clear rain, like black jade.

For a moment, Daiyu was stunned and felt absent-minded, because she found her own face in those eyes, and what was contained in his eyes was the brilliance of pity and pity, which made people feel involuntarily , intoxicated in his gaze.

In my memory, there is no man who has ever looked at him like this, not even Baoyu, because although there is pity and admiration in Baoyu's gaze, it has never been so warm and clear.

Even so, because of the past and the hurt she had suffered, her heart was already indifferent, and even if she lost her mind, it was only for such a short moment.

If so, after a short while, Daiyu turned her face back, and said with a faint smile: "Although the rain is thin now, it is already autumn, and the prince is in the rain, so it must be... not very comfortable."

Hearing her soft words, even though they were just ordinary words of concern, Shui Rong felt hot in his heart, full of joy, but still tried his best to calm down, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Lin, for reminding, otherwise, Rong must be in the same place." Rain curtains without realizing it." As she spoke, she took her gaze away from Daiyu with great difficulty, looked at the flat boat in the lake, and raised her hand gently.

Seeing this, the boy named Ling Feng put down the umbrella in his hand, picked up the sculls, swung the boat over, then landed, walked to Shui Rong, and held the umbrella to shield him from the rain.

The sound of the rain falling on the lotus became more and more melodious. Daiyu listened quietly, her phoenix eyes lighted up, and she asked casually with a slightly curious tone: "Does the lord love boating very much?"

"That's right," Shui Rong nodded with a smile, and said loudly, "In my free time, I often go to this small lake by myself, untie the cable lightly, but don't need to use oars, just let the boat float with the breeze, stealing half a day's leisure. "

After hearing these words, Daiyu's eyes narrowed, her imagination flashed, and a distant meticulous painting inevitably appeared in front of her eyes: on the sparkling lake, surrounded by blue lotus, dotted with red lotus, or drooping with residual lotus , the rain is like a curtain, a flat boat on the clear water, swinging with the wind, ignoring world affairs, not talking about the wind and the moon, relaxed, without any distracting thoughts, how leisurely and quiet, how vast the world is, it is wonderful.

After thinking like this, the thin strings in Daiyu's heart were gently plucked, causing clear and shallow ripples, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

Although locked in the boudoir, but such a beautiful artistic conception, I was originally fascinated by myself.

What about yearning?Because I depend on others, how can I get what I want?

For her, all she could do was to frown her eyebrows lightly and sigh with regret.

Now, I suddenly heard this man's eloquent talk, and his deeds coincided with his own dream.

For a moment, Daiyu was amazed in her heart, but her face was only indifferent, because she breathed a sigh of relief, she pursed her lips and said: "Although I am in the court, my heart is leisurely and indifferent, the prince is really a person like Tao Qian and Lin Bu. "

Shui Rong smiled, shook his head and said: "The girl is too famous. Tao Qian and Lin Bu are both talented hermits. Even if Rong has the heart of recluse, he dare not compare with them."

Seeing his gentle eyebrows and humble face, Daiyu thought to herself, this young virtuous king is indeed elegant and outstanding, his mind is also free from the mortal world, not bound by the secular officials, yet he is so humble and gentle , is really a rare figure.

If so, I have to give a compliment: Under the prestigious name, it is worthy of the name.

When she was meditating, there was a gust of autumn wind passing by, carrying a few strands of cool bleakness. Daiyu was always thin, and her body trembled slightly, but because of the slight movement, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice.

Shui Rong is as careful as dust, not to mention, at this moment, in the bottom of his heart, there is only this girl. He immediately sensed her discomfort, and without thinking, he moved his body lightly and stood directly against the wind. , calmly shielding Daiyu from the cold.

Seeing that there were raindrops on his clothes, but still thinking of herself like this, Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of warmth in her heart.

A person who looks like a stranger cares so much about his own feelings, and is willing to use his own body to shield himself from the cold wind in his life. How can she, who is so affectionate and sexual, not be shocked and moved?

As far as the eyes can see, there is a fine water curtain, as if thousands of threads are woven, but Daiyu has a vague feeling of being in late spring, and she feels that the unique fragrance and warmth of late spring linger all over her body, and there is no cold at all. Mind your head.

I can't help but sigh, it turns out that in life, no matter what the circumstances are, there is always a memory that lingers, and there is always a warmth that makes people admire the world of mortals and feel that this world is not indifferent, but rather beautiful.

Even so, it is only grateful, and it does not involve the selfishness of men and women.

But that's all.

Seeing Daiyu's wings trembling slightly, the tears in her eyes were about to drop, that beautiful and moving demeanor was hard to describe in words, Shui Rong was in a trance, her mind was blank, and she didn't know where she was.

While in such a leisurely trance, unconsciously, the sky became more and more gloomy, and the rain did not intend to stop at all, but also became heavier and denser, as dense as hemp, long and long, hitting the umbrella, making a very crisp sound.

Shui Rong just woke up, and couldn't help laughing at himself, he was an extremely rational person, but today he lost his mind many times, as if his mind was out of his control.

Looking for the reason, it is because, what he met today was such a beautiful woman with peerless character. Presumably, only this woman can make him forget all the mundane world, right?

When my thoughts turned, I was thinking of Daiyu's delicate body, like the slender willows in the south of the Yangtze River. Although I was happy to shield her from the wind and rain, I knew in my heart that with her body, if she stood here for a long time, she would definitely bear it. I can't help it, I can't help but feel unbearable.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong raised his lips and smiled, stared at Daiyu, and said in a warm voice: "Look at the weather, the rain will not stop for a while, although it is possible to make a detour from the corridor to Qingzhi Pavilion, Miss Lin As a newcomer, I must not be familiar with the path, Rong is willing to lead the way for Miss Lin, I don't know what Miss Lin wants?"

After hearing this, Daiyu was grateful for his thoughtful thinking, but because she had lived in Jia's house for a long time, she was used to gossip and developed a cautious temperament, so she would not do anything out of the ordinary to provoke others. Pointing comments?

If so, Daiyu only pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and refused: "I am very grateful for the prince's intention, but the melon fields and plums, men and women, should be more cautious after all, so as not to damage their respective reputations."

Shui Rong lightly raised his sword eyebrows, and his tone was as warm and clear as ever: "This is the girl's fault. Since it is a pure reputation, no matter what others say, it can't be destroyed."

After hearing this, Daiyu smiled slightly on her lips, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her voice: "My lord doesn't know something, although my lord and I are open-minded, but this world is not so black and white, otherwise, there would be no crowd." There are idioms such as Kou Shuojin and three people becoming a tiger."

The reason why she said these words was because the encounter in Jia's mansion was like a nightmare, haunting her heart all the time, unforgettable.

Before, because he was trapped in a small world, only Baoyu could see the man everywhere he could see, and because they had been together for many years, Baoyu was always by his side, asking questions about his health, earnest attitude, and without knowing it Feeling, let her breed a girlish feeling.

It's just that what I think is my own business, and has nothing to do with others, but it attracts the prying eyes of the people in the house, and rumors are flying all over the sky, so there is no peace at all.

Obviously, because it concerns the reputation of her daughter's family, she hides her thoughts very deeply and does not tell outsiders, but Baoyu goes to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion three times a day, and casually says some outrageous words, causing disturbances again and again .

Even so, Baoyu is all right, all the gossip and accusations fall on her, and she has to bear it alone.

Comparing the two is not fair at all. When she thinks about it, how can she not be heartbroken?

All along, she has not been a timid woman, so even now, even though her feelings have passed away, she can still admit frankly that her heart was throbbing at the beginning.

However, because of such a past, Empress Daiyu was terrified, and at this moment, she naturally refused to agree to Shui Rong's proposal.

Her words were spoken very lightly and quickly, and the bitterness contained in them was so faint that it was not easy to detect, but Shui Rong understood it. When she looked at her, compassion gradually overflowed, and her voice was like a sigh: "It seems that Lin When the girl lived in Jia's house, she must have been treated coldly, I really wronged the girl."

Hearing a few words from him, and explaining her own thoughts, Daiyu was astonished, but also felt a touch of emotion, obviously, they were only meeting for the first time, but he deeply understood the sadness and grievance in his heart, presumably, this is Is it what people often say hit it off?

She thought so in her heart, but after all she was an arrogant person, and because they only met each other once and were not familiar with each other, she naturally refused to show any weakness in front of Shui Rong, she just bit her red lips lightly and remained silent.

Shui Rong looked at her intently, seeing her expression, felt more and more pity in his heart, but because of the long autumn rain, he knew that there should be no delay, so he said decisively: "Miss Lin's concerns, Rong knows very well, but, Rong has always felt that as long as the two hearts are open-minded, then the rest really doesn't matter."

"What's more, Rong can assure the girl that in this place, the girl will not hear even a single word of gossip, and take a step back. If something really happens, Rong will bear it all and will never let the girl feel wronged."

At that time, his words were gentle and gentle, but there was a ray of firmness in his words, and between his brows, there was clarity and innocence.

When Daiyu saw it, she couldn't help being surprised. It turns out that there are still men in this world who can be as frank as possible.

His eyes and words penetrated into the depths of her heart bit by bit, making her feel soft, and she could no longer refuse, because she thought: Forget it, just forget it, as he said, I am not in Jia's house now, Maybe, sometimes, you don't have to be too cautious.

What's more, the man said that he would take good care of himself, and she didn't want to let down this sincere heart.

Thinking of this, Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled softly, and said in a gentle voice: "The prince has said something to this point, if I refuse again, it will be suspected that I don't know how to flatter."

Hearing her promise, Shui Rong felt happy in his heart, because he nodded and said: "Miss Lin is willing to appreciate the honor, Rong is really happy, please come here with Rong." Then, he took Ling Feng, took the lead, and took the road to turn. A section of corridor.

Daiyu smiled gently, supported Xueyan's hand, and followed up with light lotus steps.

The corridor has nine turns and twists and turns, and the four of them walked slowly without holding umbrellas, as if they were strolling in the courtyard under the clear sky.

Daiyu couldn't help nodding her head slightly, and praised: "This corridor is designed ingeniously and comprehensively. It is really convenient to walk through it in rainy days. Whoever came up with this idea must have his own hills and valleys in his chest."

Hearing this, Shui Rong lightly raised the corners of his lips, smiled without saying a word, Ling Fengyan laughed at Yan Yan, and said: "Miss Lin is very praised, this corridor was conceived by the prince, thinking of rainy days and scorching sun, It must be wonderful to walk here and take a look at the surrounding scenery."

Hearing that she was unintentionally praising Shui Rong again, Daiyu's almond-shaped eyes were slightly closed, her pink face was delicate, and her face was so beautiful, just like the gentlest ray of spring on a willow branch in March in the south of the Yangtze River.

Such a graceful appearance fell into Shui Rong's eyes. At this moment, Shui Rong suddenly had a never-before thought in his heart, looking forward to this corridor, which would never end, and he could go on like this with this woman, Always, can be as beautiful as when we first met.

However, anticipation is anticipation after all, but after a while, Qingzhi Pavilion is already in the distance, and suddenly, the loss and sigh welling up in Shui Rong's heart are indescribable.

No matter how reluctant she was, in the depths of her eyes, she could still see Daiyu grabbing her clothes and saluting, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for the trouble today, my lord."

When she was about to leave the corridor, Daiyu looked back slowly, and saw Shui Rong standing on the spot with her hands behind her back, with a moment of hesitation on her face, her voice was a little lower, but soft and clear: "The weather is cold, and the prince is raining again, so hurry up Go back to the room and take care of it, otherwise, you will definitely catch a cold."

Shui Rong was slightly stunned, and when he understood the concern in her words, his heart jumped for joy, and a bright smile stretched out from the corner of his lips, it seemed to make people feel that they saw a dazzling golden light piercing the drizzle and mist, emitting a dazzling light. Guanghua.

When Daiyu was still shy, she didn't have time to take a closer look, she just hurried away with the snow geese, striding like flying, like a wisp of floating cloud.

Seeing her blooming in lotus steps, slowly disappearing from his sight, Shui Rong had thousands of thoughts in his heart, but it was difficult to sort them out. He just felt that although her figure had faded from his eyes, she must not, fade away from my heart.

I still remember that night, Shui Mei teased that although my brother wanted to be a gentleman, he still had a different kind of affection for Miss Lin.

At that time, regarding Shui Mei's words, he only thought it was funny, so he withdrew his expression and tried to justify himself, but he never thought that one day, these words would come true.

In fact, looking back now, I can't help but suddenly realize that at the beginning, in my appreciation and pity, why didn't I have some affection?

He was already secretly in love, but after experiencing what happened today, his heart has become even more intoxicated, and he can never return to the calm, indifferent and hopeless time when he didn't meet her.

With a sigh, the love was born, but it can't be said to be superficial. Perhaps, in the dark, there is a fate of its own. Perhaps, from this moment on, it is doomed that I can never erase her from my heart. It is doomed to last forever. The care and miss that I have, can no longer be changed.

All this is so different from what I imagined at the beginning.

He persuaded Shuimei, tried his best, and finally allowed Daiyu to stay in Beifu in a reasonable way. His original intention was just that, because he had never cared about Lin Ruhai's orphan girl for many years, he wanted to make up for it with his own actions. Yes, I want to meet this woman and ask her what she really wants for Baoyu. If she has fallen in love with her, she will do her best to make her wish come true.

However, now that I really saw it, I found that I had already lost my heart before I asked about the serious matter.

There is nothing better than Sri Lanka to make people fool people.

Jianmei Qingxuan, a heavy sigh fell in his heart, what should he do after today?
