Love the Red House

Seeing her soft-spoken, Daiyu was still as cold as ice, Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back anymore, she sneered, almost harshly, her chest was heaving even more, and she said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are planning for me with all your heart. But you say such things, how can you be worthy of your mother's painstaking efforts?"

Daiyu didn't take it seriously, a mocking smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and said in a deep voice, "Is it out of painstaking efforts? I'm afraid it's out of selfishness? I don't believe that the imperial concubine Yuan made such an arrangement, not for her own sake."

His eyes turned from Mrs. Wang, and the arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes did not diminish at all, and she said word by word: "Forget it, I am tired of talking about this, but I want to remind my aunt, there is one thing, aunt I seem to have forgotten that although I live in the Jia family, I am the daughter of the Lin family. How can my future and my life be controlled by the Jia family? If you want to use me as a pawn to seek benefits, then you are wrong. Got an idea."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wang was even more annoyed. She raised her eyes to stare at Daiyu without blinking, her words were cold and sharp, as if she could swallow people: "Your surname is Lin, but you seem I also forgot one thing, the meaning of letting you enter the palace was decided by the empress, and with your status as a commoner girl, it seems that you are not qualified to object, right?"

Hearing that she was so shameless, Daiyu's lips showed a cold arc, she glanced at her sideways, and said with a flick of her sleeve: "Listening to what Second Aunt said, you actually want to use power to overwhelm others?"

After listening to Concubine Yuan's analysis during the day, Mrs. Wang was determined to let Daiyu enter the palace to help Concubine Yuan. After hearing this, she also sneered and said, "So what? Although you are a lady, But don't forget, your Lin family has already been defeated, do you think that there will be someone who will stand up for you, an orphan?

The cold and desolate words fell into her ears bit by bit, and there was a bang in Daiyu's head, and finally there was a slight change in her calm face, her heart seemed to be severely grabbed by someone, the pain was unbearable, and at the same time Intense sorrow and sorrow emerged, and it couldn't be stopped.

Is the horror of the human heart so far?

Although she always knew that the second aunt in front of her hated her extremely, she never expected that one day, the second aunt would resolutely push her, who was indifferent to the world, into the treacherous and intriguing palace for selfish reasons.

So callous, so unscrupulous.

——However, she happened to be right.

Yes, she is an orphan girl who has lost her parents. In this place where she lives, everyone respects the high and tramples on the low, and everyone is keen on wealth and honor. Around her, there is nothingness, loneliness and coldness, no one to rely on, no one to rely on.

So sad, so miserable.

Although Jia's mother was annoyed at Daiyu's sneer at her before, now seeing her pale face and sudden expression, she couldn't help feeling soft, so she lowered her voice and said with a smile: "Your second aunt is very anxious because your mother called you to come over." , looking forward to being able to handle this matter well, I can’t help but speak recklessly, so don’t take it to heart.”

Daiyu remained silent, as if she had never heard of it, her water-clear eyes seemed to be covered by autumn frost, and a vague and unknown fear hit her heart, she just felt disheartened and unable to hold herself back.

In the world of mortals, the beauty is like a flower, swaying in the long river of time, struggling to find a way to survive, knowing whether it is warm or not.

So what about brilliant writing?So what about being resolute?Under the weak and indifferent family love, she is only alone after all, weak and weak, unable to withstand the invasion of wind and rain, and unable to escape the arrangement of fate.

When the pain was unstoppable, I heard Tanchun whispering in my ear: "Sister Lin has a noble temperament and a clean eye, I know it, but, how can the emperor be compared with other ordinary people? Can he be compared with the most noble person in the world? It's a good fortune to meet you once, not to mention that the empress is planning to arrange for us to get close to the emperor."

When she said this, her voice was a little lower, with a hint of anticipation, joy, and a little shyness: "The opportunity is so rare, sister Lin should think carefully before making a decision."

Hearing Tanchun's words of persuasion, Jia's mother was satisfied, and she smiled approvingly at her, then turned to look at Daiyu, and said kindly: "You and Tanchun have always gotten along well, although they are not real sisters, they are not much different. It's about her again, now you should listen to what she said."

As she said that, she held Daiyu's hand tightly, as if she was holding a precious treasure, with a flood of sentimentality on her face, and sighed: "Speaking of this, there is no need to cover up, these years, you I have always been by my side, I love you very much in my heart, how can I be willing to let you go? But, I have also thought about it, the empress's edict is not to be disobeyed, not to mention, you are good in everything, if you Once you enter the palace, you will definitely be favored by the emperor. The future glory and wealth are unpredictable. In this way, it is much better than staying here or going out to live alone? Even if your mother knows it, Will be very pleased."

As she spoke, she patted Daiyu's hand, smiling like a spring breeze at the corners of her brows and eyes, and then said, "Good Yu'er, I think of you so much, you should appreciate it."

Daiyu had a splitting headache and almost vomited blood. After a long time, Fang bit her lips and said: "The old lady's words are really high-sounding, but everyone knows what her intentions are. It’s just to keep the Jia family’s wealth.”

Speaking of which, he raised his eyes to look at Jiamu, with ice and snow in his eyes, and said coldly: "I told the old lady last time, don't talk about your mother again, but the old lady just doesn't listen, since that's the case, old lady Madam, you might as well think about it, if mother knows, she might feel sad for me."

Her words were so cold and direct that Jia's mother couldn't help but choked, but she couldn't say a word anymore.

For a moment, the room fell into a cold silence, and occasionally the wind swept over the dead leaves, rustling, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, and the dim moonlight poured through the window lattice, pouring on the ground, leaving a desolate scene.

Time seemed to be frozen by the cold air, and it passed extremely slowly. Daiyu stood in place, motionless, but her heart turned and turned a thousand times, without a moment of peace.

The past came back, seeming to engulf people, and I couldn't help but think of the day she first entered Jia's mansion ten years ago. Her mood is average.

Yes, at that time, although she was cautious in her words and deeds and paid attention to every step, she didn't feel uneasy about the way ahead, because she felt that with her grandmother as a relative, everything should be fine.

Up to now, such a simple mind has been betrayed in the end, and every inch has been turned into ashes without leaving a trace.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Wang sneered coldly in her ears, and then she said indifferently: "There is no need to talk too much about anything else, let's be serious. I know, the eldest girl has always been high-spirited and never Putting wealth and glory in my eyes, if it wasn't for the empress to ask you to enter the palace, I would never have any more dealings with you, but now that the empress has such thoughts, no matter what, I will let the empress realize her wish. "

Speaking of this, she took a step closer to Daiyu, her eyes were full of oppression and coldness, and she said immediately: "The eldest girl came to Beijing alone. She has lived here all these years, and her food and clothing belong to Jia's family. It would be too unreasonable to go against the will of the empress."

When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't bear it any longer, raised her eyes and looked at her coldly, bit her lips and said, "Second Aunt's ability to turn black and white is really admirable. Am I really here alone? Do you think I don't know?" When my father passed away, he entrusted all the property of the Lin family to the second elder brother Lian and brought it to Beijing. Although I don't know the exact amount of gold and silver, I still understand the basic principles. Our Lin family, He has inherited five generations of nobles, and he has always been diligent and thrifty in managing his family. He has never done anything extravagant, and he has accumulated family wealth for several generations. No matter what, it will never be less than 100 million taels of silver."

Speaking of this, the sad smile was no longer under his control, and spread from the corners of his lips: "In these years, the Jia family is just a superficial beauty. You spent money from the Lin family to build the Grand View Garden, and you also rely on the support of the Lin family. It has been built, but now you say that I am unreasonable, so indiscriminate between black and white, how can you say it?"

Mrs. Wang always thought that Daiyu didn't care about ordinary things, but she didn't expect her to say these words. She was a little surprised and embarrassed for a while, but she quickly showed a look of indifference, and said with a sneer: "Whatever you say , anyway, the empress has a will, if you insist on disobeying, don't blame me for being merciless, when the time comes, it will really be a toast and not a fine wine."

Daiyu's eyes fluttered, as cold as autumn water, and said neither salty nor weak: "I'm just alone, do you think you can threaten me by saying these words?

Mrs. Wang turned her head, raised her eyebrows and smiled, but the smile had the taste of ice and snow, and there was a hint of satisfaction in the cold voice: "It is precisely because you are alone, so if I want to deal with you, it is really easy For example, confine you in this mansion so that you will never be able to leave the Jia family, let alone go back to the south of the Yangtze River. For example, it is also possible to find a rich businessman at will and marry you there. Anyway, no one will stand up for you, even the old lady will never take care of you."

When she said this, her face suddenly sank, and her voice was like a knife like a sword, which made people shudder: "Well, there is one thing I forgot. In fact, you are not alone. Those who are by my side are really close, they are not masters and servants, but sisters."

Hearing Mrs. Wang's cold and gloomy tone, although Daiyu's expression did not change, she was taken aback in her heart, looked at her angrily, and said with a flick of her sleeve: "What exactly do you want?"

Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes slightly, and her expression was cold when she opened her lips, as if gathering snow and frost: "Young lady is familiar with poetry and books, and must understand the truth of 'man is a knife, I am a fish', and your situation now corresponds to this situation." words."

"You are Miss Qianjin. Even if I imprison you in this mansion, I will not treat you poorly. I will still let you eat well and dress well, so that the people below will not gossip. As for the anger in my heart, I can only vent it. On your servant girl, when the time comes, there is no need to talk about beatings and scolding, even if you sell her immediately, no one will gossip. If you don't worry about that servant girl being tortured to death, you can go against my will Bar."

Looking at her ugly face and listening to her ruthless words, Daiyu's face flushed red, and her chest was even more breathless, full of resentment and sorrow, hurt and hatred for the world, and even more profound unwillingness. Tight and tangled together, entangled like silk, it's almost hard to breathe.

However, so what?The thoughts in the mind are strangely cruel and sober, the world is like a chessboard, and people are like chess pieces in the palm of the hand. They are often involuntary, and even their own destiny cannot be controlled.

There is no way to advance, no way to retreat, no one will protect her, and she has no one to rely on.

The wind, the knife, the frost, the sword and the sun are pressing against each other, the Zhumen have experienced ups and downs several times, and countless vicissitudes and sorrows have appeared in the streamer, which is almost unbearable.

The candles had been burning for a long time, and the room was a bit dark. The wicks of the candles gradually became longer, and each of them faded away uncertainly. There were dark red candle tears sliding down the candlestick, bit by bit, slowly falling on the candlestick, like a girl's crystal clear eyes. Tears in general.

Candles still have hearts, weeping for others and lamenting desolation.

Daiyu's eyes were burning, she stared at the candlelight, she just felt that at this moment, her heart was chaotic with the beating of the candlelight, like a floating boat bumping on the top of the waves, getting colder and sinking bit by bit , falling straight into the bottomless abyss.

Shijue, a lifetime of coolness.

After an unknown amount of time, Mother Jia finally spoke, breaking the silence of the room: "What is Yu'er's plan now?"

Daiyu pursed her lips slightly, but her smile was extremely bitter, what was her plan, what else could she do now?

There is nothing you can do about living under the fence, people are like duckweed, you can't help yourself.

The long eyelashes that were neat like wings trembled slightly, Daiyu closed her eyes, and after a while she sighed inaudibly, but her voice was emotionless: "Now that things have happened, do I have any other choice?

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment before she understood what she meant, and finally let go of her heart that had been on hold for a long time. The corners of her lips could not help but show a satisfied smile that was rewarded by her scheming.

Her eyes fixed on Daiyu's face, the smile on her lips deepened, and then she said lightly: "Don't worry, as long as you listen to your mother's arrangement at ease from now on, I will naturally not embarrass you, even your mother, I will never make things difficult for you." I won't be wronged."

Jiamu knew that Daiyu was determined, but now she heard that she was willing to change her mind and agreed. Although she was surprised, she didn't think about it deeply, and thought it was Mrs. Wang's words that had an effect.

Thinking of this, Mother Jia unconsciously raised her brows and began to laugh at Yan Yan: "Your second aunt's words are not bad. It's rare that you are willing to change your mind. As long as you get along well with your mother after entering the palace, you will naturally be able to succeed in the future."

After saying that, he stood up, raised his hand to gently straighten a strand of Daiyu's hair, and then looked at Tanchun, full of joy and longing for long-term prosperity and wealth, spreading across his face , Smiling like an autumn chrysanthemum: "Okay, I won't say much else. The two of you are blood relatives with the empress. When the time comes, you have to support each other and share weal and woe."

Tanchun had unconcealable surprise and longing on his face. Hearing Jia Mu's words, he hurriedly pulled up his clothes and bowed down. He lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Don't worry, the old lady, the empress treats you so kindly. Tanchun will definitely live up to this kindness." .”

In such a happy atmosphere, Daiyu sneered secretly, curled her hand in the handkerchief and clasped it tightly, with a calm expression on her cheeks, slowly nodded and said: "The old lady taught me so hard, Yu'er will definitely Never forget."

After saying that, she got up and bowed to Jia Mu, and said with a faint smile, "It's getting late, since the matter has been agreed, Yu'er should also leave."

Without another word, Jia Mu nodded and replied, "Look at my memory, I have forgotten it. You go down and have a good rest. When you get up tomorrow, you will order the servant girl to pack up the things first. On your mother's side, I'm afraid Coming soon."

Daiyu suppressed all the emotions in her heart, her face was as calm as water, she promised, turned and walked away from Jia Mu.

She walked calmly and resolutely, just like when she came here, which was exactly right, but no one understood that there was already a wound in her heart that could never be healed.

Heart twisted together, Kongluo is sore, only the thinking in her head is still clear and sharp, walking back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion like this, Xueyan and Xiangyun must be worried, but if she doesn't go back, where can she go?Although the world is big, where can we settle down?

In the room where she looked up, outside the Zhu Lanyu brickwork, there was a crescent moon like a hook like a string, desolate and pale, her heart was already like a piece of ice, without the slightest warmth.

I don't know how long I walked like this, but when I saw a light coming from a lantern, it was Xueyan holding a lantern and looking for her anxiously. When I saw her, I breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily handed over the beautiful cloak on her arm. To Daiyu, he said eagerly: "Miss Yun is upset by waiting, how is the girl?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to help Daiyu, there was trembling coldness in the tentacles, Xueyan couldn't help but change her face, and there was a hint of fear in her voice: "Young lady's hands are so cold, but what happened?"

Daiyu reluctantly opened her mouth, but her voice was inaudible: "Let's talk when we go back." Xueyan was worried, but she couldn't ask any more questions. She just agreed and helped Daiyu back to the Xiaoxiang Hall.

Slowly walking back to the boudoir like this, Xiangyun, who was sitting under the window in a daze, stood up and was taken aback when he saw Daiyu's appearance. What is it for?"

Daiyu smiled blankly, walked to the window and sat down, leaned her tired body on the soft pillow, and said concisely: "Because the concubine Yuan is pregnant, everything is inconvenient, so she intentionally let Tanchun and I enter the palace to help She competes for favor."

Xiangyun and Xueyan couldn't help but stared blankly, and looked at each other with disbelief all over their faces, and they were a little at a loss.

After a long while, Xiangyun calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "If someone can enter the palace and help the empress, then the empress' status will be stable, and the Jia family will also be able to follow suit. For Concubine Yuan's thoughts, the old lady, My wife must agree, and I will naturally press Sister Lin every step of the way."

Speaking of this, he looked sideways at Daiyu, frowned deeply, and his voice was full of worry and anxiety: "Then, how did Sister Lin answer?"

Daiyu closed her eyes, a layer of autumn mist covered her dimples, which were as white as beautiful jade, and said lightly, "I have already agreed."

Xiangyun opened his mouth wide, and the shock and astonishment in his heart turned into a scream. He jumped up from the chair, almost unable to control his emotions, and said in a voiceless voice: "How could it be? My sister has always been indifferent, and she never puts glory and wealth in front of her." In my eyes, how can I give in to myself and go to the palace to serve the emperor? What's more, doing so is equivalent to playing a pawn for the concubine Yuan, how can my sister be willing to be wronged like this?"

The corners of Daiyu's mouth raised, showing a helpless and bitter arc, and said slowly: "Since my sister knows my nature, she should also understand that I would never have made such a choice if I hadn't had nowhere to go."

Looking at her expression, Xiangyun thought for a long time, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of fear in his voice: "Why did my sister say that? Could it be that my sister felt that if she refused to agree, the old lady and Will the wife use any means to deal with my sister?"

Daiyu glanced at her, and asked without answering: "Isn't it? You have also seen how cold-hearted the old lady and wife are. In their hearts, there is only wealth and glory. As for me, it is insignificant."

Xiang Yun moved his lips, wanting to speak, but couldn't make a sound.

——Yes, as Daiyu said, she has seen Jia's mother's indifference and ruthlessness, and she also understands that Mrs. Wang is a person who is dedicated to glory. Such two people, the most important thing is the Jia family, and the ability to give to Jia. The concubine Yuan brought glory to her home.

The situation is inferior to others, so how can I have the confidence to say no?Even if it is said, with the temperament of these two people, they will definitely fly into a rage. At that time, it will be no problem to turn their faces and turn against each other, and Daiyu's situation will be in jeopardy.

There is no way to go, what if you don't choose this way?

Thinking of this, Xiangyun's puzzlement slowly disappeared, but he still frowned deeply, let out a long sigh from his red lips, and said with tears: "My sister's fate is so rough, I hate that I am a useless person. Can't help at all."

Speaking of this, he held Daiyu's sleeve tightly, and his voice became more and more sad, almost sobbing: "Forget it, since this is already the case, sister, don't think too much, let's just take one step at a time."

After hearing this, before Daiyu could answer, the snow geese on the side had already called out, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she murmured: "How can it be? Because of a Jia family, our girl has suffered so much. Until now, How can you be a pawn of the Jia family and help them seek wealth?"

Daiyu raised her hand, pressed Xueyan's shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't be in a hurry, I have my own discretion in things."

As he spoke, his eyes slanted, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes looking at Xiang Yun, and he said unhurriedly: "Why does Sister Yun think that I will really bow my head and let the Jia family and Concubine Yuan manipulate me?"

When she said this, she slowed down her voice, but the light in her eyes lit up, and said word by word: "Sister Yun, Huizhi Lanxin, must understand that many times, taking a step back is not giving in."
