Love the Red House

After half a cup of tea, Lixiangyuan slowly came into view, and the little maid in Tsing Yi standing under the steps saw them coming, perhaps because she had heard about the changes in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, her face flashed unnaturally, and she reluctantly smiled and said : "Why do the two girls come here when they are free?"

Daiyu smiled coldly, and said succinctly: "Let me take a look at you girls." Then she raised her eyebrows and walked straight to Xue Baochai's residence. Seeing this, Xiangyun had no time to take care of other things, and hurriedly followed come up.

When I got there, I heard a small voice, but it was Ying'er's voice: "The girl has no plans to spare, and she hits the target with one blow. It's a pity that she was disturbed by the snow geese, and all previous efforts were wasted. It's really a pity."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Xue Baochai smiled softly, with a sense of pride in his voice: "The matter is indeed regrettable, but it's already like this, and there is nothing we can do, just treat it as a gift for that girl this time." Lesson, I will think of another way, and I must let her survive but not die."

As soon as the words fell, Daiyu lifted the curtain and went in, sneering: "I am here, what Miss Xue wants to do, please do it yourself."

Xue Baochai didn't expect it to be her, and stood up from the chair in shock, but quickly calmed down, and said slowly: "Sister Lin must have heard wrong, why did I say that I would do something to my sister? "

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then turned his eyes to look at Xiangyun, with joy in his eyes, and said in a cheerful voice: "I haven't seen Sister Yun for a long time, and I miss you very much. When I saw it today, my sister looks very good." , I can rest assured."

She talked and laughed at Yan Yan like this, with an affectionate expression, but Xiang Yun didn't speak, just nodded slightly, with a polite but alienated appearance.

Seeing Xiangyun's indifference, Xue Baochai also felt bored, turned to look at Daiyu, and inadvertently saw a little dark red on the front of Daiyu's clothes, and couldn't help being surprised: "What's wrong with Sister Lin? But is it a little uncomfortable?"

Daiyu squinted at her, and said in a calm voice, "I don't need Miss Xue to worry about my affairs."

Speaking of this, the eyes turned cold, like frost, but there was a deep pain in the voice: "Let's gossip, why do I come here today, Miss Xue should know very well, right?"

Xue Baochai nodded, sighed slightly, but still did not change expression, and said slowly: "I understand the reason for my sister's visit, but it is for the snow geese, but please don't get angry, sister, just listen to me first. "

"I asked Ying'er to send black chicken soup to make up for my sister. It was a good intention, but Ying'er screwed it up. Although it was an accident, I still feel sorry for my sister."

As she said that, she stretched out her hand to pull Ying'er, and said softly, "Ying'er, what are you still doing blankly? Hurry up and kneel in front of my sister, and apologize to her."

Hearing this, Ying'er's body flinched for a moment, but she still didn't dare to disobey her, she walked up to Daiyu, grabbed her clothes and knelt down on the ground.

Daiyu didn't look at her, but squinted at Xue Baochai, with a shadow of a half-smile on her lips, and said with a flick of her sleeve: "You don't tell lies in front of Ming people, and even now, Miss Xue still vehemently denies it. It’s really rare to see it in a hundred years.”

Hearing the coldness in Daiyu's words, Xue Baochai was stunned for a while, his face was very stiff, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "Sister Lin, I don't quite understand what I said. Could it be that my sister thinks that I did it on purpose? If so, how about my sister?" Go ask the old lady to comment, why come here to talk coldly?"

Hearing her mention of Jiamu, Daiyu was stunned for a moment, her expression was momentarily lost and deeply sad, she just felt that a big stone was pressing on her heart, which was extremely heavy, her eyebrows were slightly frowning, her eyes were cold, but she was speechless Come.

I originally thought that I had gradually become stronger through the ups and downs in the fleeting years and the ups and downs, and I was no longer immature and fragile.

Unexpectedly, when faced with the fact that the world is indifferent and family affection is nothingness again, I will still feel heartbroken and uncomfortable easily, and I will be defeated.

th.

Xue Baochai was quick-witted and good at observing words and expressions. When he saw Daiyu's expression, he rolled his eyes and understood a little bit. He didn't feel a smile on his face. He was very relaxed and proud, but he still pretended to be polite: My sister has been here for so long, but I didn't serve tea, it really shouldn't be."

Hearing this, he waved to the maid outside the room and ordered: "Go make a pot of good tea and bring it here immediately."

The little servant girl agreed and went away on her knees. Xue Baochai's eyes turned and fell on Daiyu again, and then said: "Today, my younger sister came to the door in person. I think I hope to have an explanation. Besides, Xueyan is the closest to my younger sister." You can't take it lightly, even more so, well, I'll ask someone to fetch ten taels of silver later, my sister will take it back, and ask Xue Yanyan for medicine, I don't know what my sister will do?"

She said these words softly and warmly, but there was an unconcealable sarcasm between her brows and eyes. Xiang Yun saw it, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you talking about? Sister Lin, is it because she is here?" Because of the lack of these taels of silver? Should Xueyan be injured for nothing?"

Xue Baochai didn't expect that she would defend Daiyu in this way, and speak so aggressively, her eyes darkened, showing unspeakable annoyance and resentment, and after a long time, she said: "That's not what I meant, Xueyan was injured, It’s just that things have already happened, what else can I do besides giving money compensation?”

She said these words clearly and coldly, as if she was talking about an unimportant matter. Xiangyun was even more annoyed, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "I used to think that Miss Xue is dignified and steady, a rare good woman in the world. Only now did I realize that I was very wrong, Miss Xue is not only deeply thoughtful, but also extremely cold-blooded and ruthless."

After hearing this, Xue Baochai couldn't hold back any longer, her face darkened, and her voice turned cold: "Mrs. Smith is an outsider, but she speaks repeatedly. I don't know. What does this matter have to do with Ms. Smith?"

As he spoke, he glanced back at Daiyu, his eyes narrowed, almost turning into a bottomless pool, and then he said, "Forget it, I don't want to gossip, this matter is only related to Sister Lin, it's better to let Sister Answer yourself, what is my sister's intention for this trip?"

Daiyu came back to her senses and tried her best to suppress the melancholy in her heart. The corners of her lips stretched out like a cool autumn moon, and her voice also revealed a blunt coldness: "Miss Xue, do you want to hear my answer? Wait a moment and see know."

After hearing her answer, Xue Baochai frowned in puzzlement, thought for a while, and when she was about to ask again, a maid came in with a tray and saluted, "Girls, please have some tea."

Before the others could speak, Daiyu nodded her head, walked to the servant girl, took the teacup in her hand, and said with a faint smile, "The temperature of the freshly brewed tea should not be too low."

As she spoke, she turned around resolutely, lifted the lid of the cup, and raised her plain hand, the whole cup of tea, carrying the white steam, poured all over Yinger's body.

Her actions were as straight as flowing clouds and flowing water, calmly and quickly, without any stagnation. Before everyone in the room could figure out what was going on, Yinger, who was kneeling on the ground, moved her lips and opened her voice, making a shriek like The howling of wolves.

Xue Baochai's face suddenly changed, as if he couldn't believe it, and he lost his voice: "What do you mean?"

Daiyu flicked her sleeves vigorously, and said coldly: "Ying'er hurt the snow goose, now, let me return a cup of tea, don't Miss Xue think this is fair?"

Xue Baochai's eyes were full of gloom, she paused, and said, "Ying'er made an unintentional mistake, but you did it on purpose. How can you be fair? Are you not afraid of gossip because of your misbehavior?"

Daiyu sneered repeatedly, and said decisively: "If I was afraid, I would not take this trip. If you think that gossip can threaten me, then you are very wrong."

Her eyes are always as clear as water, but at this moment, there seems to be flames burning lightly, full of sharp resentment and anger, but her voice is cold to the bone: "Miss Xue don't need to say that Xueyan's injury was an accident, what is the inside story, You and I both know very well, since this is the case, it is better to face each other calmly."

Xue Baochai glanced at her, with a hesitant light in his eyes, bit his lips and said, "What exactly do you want?"

Daiyu slightly raised the corners of her lips, drew a cloud-like smile, and said slowly: "I'm here to tell you that you have hurt someone who shouldn't be hurt, and you must pay for it."

Raising his arms and rolling up his cloud sleeves, the smile on his lips faded away, and his voice gradually became serious: "I have been indifferent to the world situation, and I don't want to get involved in worldly grievances. Until now, I still can't do what I want."

"Xueyan is so innocent, but you are cruelly plotting against her. Although Yinger received a cup of tea on your behalf, it is far from enough to make up for Xueyan's pain and the hatred in my heart."

"What happened today is just the beginning."

"As for the future life, I have no other expectations except to fight against you."

Hearing Daiyu utter these words in a calm and solemn tone, Xue Baochai shuddered shiveringly, and gradually revealed disbelief in her gaze.

She and Daiyu have known each other for nearly eight years. She thought she knew this woman very well, but she never imagined that one day, this indifferent and delicate girl would stand straight in front of her and say with firm words, Make yourself an enemy.

And when she stood up, there seemed to be dazzling rays of light flowing around her body, making people afraid to look directly at her, as if the phoenix had nirvana and was finally reborn.

Daiyu like this made her feel strange and could not be underestimated.

With such a thought, Xue Baochai bit her fine white teeth hard on her lips, tried to calm down, looked at Daiyu and said, "There is no deep hatred between us, why do you say these words so deeply? generally?"

Daiyu gave her a cold look, her words were clear but resolute, like ice: "You ruined Xueyan's life, isn't it because you have a deep hatred?"

"There is no need to gossip. I, Lin Daiyu, swear here that in the future, once I beat you, I will definitely return the suffering Xueyan suffered to you a hundred times and a thousand times."

"Xue Baochai, please ask for blessings."

Speaking of this, he raised his hand and pulled out the jasper hairpin from his sideburns, threw it on the ground, exhausted all his strength, and said word by word: "This oath can be learned from the world, and this is the proof."

Yuchai landed on the ground and made a crisp sound, as if hitting people's hearts. Xue Baochai's eyes were red, as if he could ooze blood, but his heart was frozen in ice and snow. It was extremely cold. After a while, he smiled and said: "The people in the Hefu only know that Miss Lin is gentle and gentle, fragile, and a rare beauty of Qingshui, but they don't know that Miss Lin is cruel and cold when she shows her true colors. I really don't know how Miss Lin has endured it for so many years."

Daiyu pursed her lips slightly, but the smile was very shallow, with a trace of determination in the ease: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend them, but if someone deceives me, what do you want for this beauty's false name?" use?"

Such cold and resolute words, spit out from her lips, Xue Baochai only felt a thorn in his heart, uneasy and restless, even more like a tide, and he couldn't stop it.

Thoughts came and went, chaotic, but there was one thought that was particularly clear, she knew how outstanding Daiyu's character was, and with such an opponent, from now on, she was afraid that she would never be able to sleep peacefully again.

This tit-for-tat confrontation fell into Xiangyun's eyes, Xiangyun only felt that the shock deep in his heart was hard to express.

She has always known that Daiyu is a very different woman, but it was only at this moment that she realized that the determination and strength contained in this woman's bones are enough to make all men in the world feel ashamed.

Even if she is in Houmen, even if there is no one around her, she still holds her head up high, she will never lower her head, let alone give up on herself, she is so noble.

After Daiyu said what she wanted to say, she didn't want to stay here any longer. She flicked her cloud sleeves and said proudly: "That's all I have to say, Miss Xue can do it for herself."

The sky is getting late, and the slanting light hangs in the sky, like frost, and the red is better than blood. Under the reflection of the afterglow, the pavilions and green gardens are transformed into deep and thin silhouettes, and the whole Grand View Garden seems to be immersed in a thick shadow. Under it, it cannot be dissolved or eliminated.

Under the heavy twilight, the two walked quietly along the corridor. Xiangyun glanced sideways at Daiyu, and suddenly sighed: "I didn't think so before, but now I look closely, I feel that this Grand View Garden is nothing more than that, everywhere is full of beautiful flowers. Dismal and gloomy."

Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyebrows were like smoke and cold water, and she said calmly: "The scenery is born from the heart, the mentality is different, and the scenery you see will naturally change."

As he spoke, he patted Xiangyun's hand, his face softened, and he said softly: "Today I feel disheartened and downhearted. It is a great blessing to have my sister by my side."

Xiangyun shook his head gently, and hurriedly said: "Based on the friendship between me and my sister, it should be so, why should my sister be polite?"

"Just now I was worried that we would not gain the upper hand when we came to Xue's house alone, but Sister Lin was determined and strong. Although some actions were unexpected, they all showed her true temperament. I think, after this incident , Miss Xue must not be able to sleep."

She pulled the corners of her lips slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes, and her voice slowed down, with a hint of dignity: "It's just that my sister poured a cup of tea on Ying'er, if the Xue family uses this as an excuse to gossip in front of the old lady, I don't know what will happen, it's really worrying, not to mention, Miss Xue will become Bao's second grandmother in a short time, and by then, my sister's situation will be worrying."

Her words were full of worry, but Daiyu said calmly and calmly: "What about gossiping? The old lady refused to come forward to deal with the snow geese just now, so now she will turn against me because of a Yinger No? Even if it will, I don't intend to stay here forever, why should I be afraid?"

Xiang Yun couldn't help being startled, and frowned, "Sister really wants to leave?"

Daiyu nodded lightly, and replied: "At the beginning, I decided to return to Jiangnan in the spring of next year, but now that such an accident has happened, I am even more lost. I just wait for Xueyan's injury to get better. It may take half a month or less. After ten days, I immediately went back to the old lady and moved out of Jia's residence."

After hearing this, Xiang Yun pondered for a moment, feeling a lot of reluctance in his heart, but still nodded lightly, and said softly: "That's fine, this place has weak hearts and too few family ties, so it's really not a place to stay for a long time."

He raised his hand to hold the pearl pendant around his ears, but there was a look of worry in his eyes, and he said hesitantly: "It's just that I'm still a little worried in my heart. My sister has always been a veritable young lady. Leaving Jia's family, as an orphan, I don't know if I can cope with the hardships of the world?"

Daiyu pursed her lips, and her figure was shrouded in the twilight circle, making her look even more dustless, cold and elegant, and said calmly: "This is my sister's worry, the world is big, I don't believe that apart from the Jia family, there is no Lin Daiyu." What's more, if you go out, there will be less wind, frost, swords, scheming and gossip, maybe you will be more relaxed."

She spoke so calmly and confidently, her brows and eyes were clear, Xiangyun's uneasy heart gradually settled down, a faint smile line stretched out on the corners of her lips, she nodded and said: "Sister Lin's words are reasonable, but I don't think so." gone."

After pondering for a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Daiyu, then asked: "So, after Sister Lin goes out, do you still want to go back to Jiangnan?"

Daiyu shook her head lightly, and said softly: "To me now, the most important thing is Xueyan's injury, and the capital is a prosperous place, and there are many highly skilled doctors, although Dr. Li said that the chance of recovery is very small. , but no matter what, I can't let Xueyan's life be torn apart, and I must find a famous doctor to cure her completely. As for returning to Jiangnan, although I have been looking forward to it for many years, I have to let it go for now."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, his eyes glowed with light, but he was so cold, then he calmed down and said solemnly: "What's more, I have made up my mind to seek justice for the snow geese. , if we go back, wouldn’t Xue Baochai be cheap for nothing?”

After hearing these words, Xiangyun was speechless for a while, and after a long time, he sighed: "Sister Lin is a person with ideas, many things, she has her own decisions in her heart, but the road ahead is difficult, but I can't be by her side. I just hope that my sister will take good care of herself and don't make me worry too much."

Daiyu nodded abruptly, raised her hand to straighten her skirt, with a friendly expression and a gentle voice like spring water: "I will take care of myself, my sister should also take care of herself, let's get together again if we have a chance."

At this moment, she didn't know that in the depths of Houmen, there were ups and downs several times, wind, knife, frost, sword and sun were pressing against each other, even if they only stayed for a few more days, the waves would never stop.

And life, due to a sudden change, slipped to an unexpected track. Although it was her own life, she was still out of control and out of control.
