Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 102: It's like another year

Shui Rong discussed with Meng Yi for a while, and then Shui Rong asked Meng Yi to prepare the horse to go out to find someone, fearing that he might miss it if it was too late.

Meng Yi went out of the room and thought that the horse would not work, he couldn't let a young lady learn to be like a man, a monkey on the back of a horse, what's the point of ostentatiously passing through the market.Miss Qianjin, delicate and delicate, might fall ill when blown by the wind.So he asked someone to prepare a car covered with green silk and emerald green.

Shui Rong felt that Meng Yi was very considerate, Meng Yi drove the car himself, and Shui Rong sat in the car.With the bumps of the car, my mood was also not calm. I wondered if they were only in a hurry to find it now, maybe it would be too late.What if Lin Daiyu had gone far away and could never be found again?He didn't have the ability to turn over the entire capital just to find a little girl.I had no choice but to pray secretly, hoping to see her beautiful figure again.

Meng Yi drove through quite a few streets and alleys, but his eyes were on the sidelines of the market, for fear that he would miss that small shop.He remembered that when he came to inquire last time, he had traveled a lot and asked a lot before he found it.There is only one front door, which is engaged in general herbal medicine trading.

Meng watched the whole way, and vaguely remembered that there was a word Cai on the cloth cover in front of the door, and Shui Rong followed him to look for it. After searching for a long time, he finally found the shop in a small, quiet box. I wrote the character Cai.

Shui Rong was going to get out of the car to ask in person, but Meng Yidao said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll go ask."

Meng Yi jumped out of the car and strode towards the store.I saw a middle-aged man squatting on the threshold, rummaging through a dustpan of herbs.Meng Yi stepped forward, bowed to the man and asked, "May I ask the old man, is Cai Herbal Medicine here?"

Father Cai got up slowly and saw a handsome man standing in front of him. He didn't know who the visitor was, raised his eyes slightly, and said, "Master, do you want to buy herbs?"

Meng Yi thought it should be here, so he asked: "Mr., I have something to ask next time. May I ask if Miss Lin from Jia's family is here?"

Father Cai raised his head and looked at the young master for a few more times. He felt unfamiliar and didn't recognize him. He wondered if he was someone from the Jia family?He hadn't seen him before when he was working as a helper in Jia's house, and he said he wanted to find Miss Lin, so he raised his spirits a bit, and secretly scolded his daughter for messing around.While guessing the identity of this person, I saw a smile on his face, very peaceful.So he stood up, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "May I ask where you are from?"

Meng Yi thought that if he didn't reveal his identity, the old man might not be able to tell.So he whispered in Father Cai's ear for a while, Father Cai's face changed drastically, trembling all over, and he was about to bow down, but Meng Yi supported him: "Mr. Are you still in your residence?"

Father Cai's face became heavy, and he said tremblingly: "You guys are one step late, you set off this morning. Maybe you have already left Tongzhou by now."

Meng Yi stumbled and sighed: "Tongzhou, that's okay. If I get on the boat again, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." He thought to himself that something really bad happened, if he came yesterday, he would have stopped him.Without waiting for Cai's father to say more, he turned his head and left, but saw Shui Rong hanging the curtain and looking over here.Seeing Meng Yi coming back anxiously, he thought it was not good, when he was about to get off the car, Meng Yi had already returned, and said to Shui Rong: "My lord, let's go to Tongzhou."

When Shui Rong heard the place name, he froze instantly.Where is she, a lonely woman, going to go to Tongzhou by boat? Could it be that she is going south.If I get on the boat and leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it again.

So I got out of the car in a hurry and wanted to sit in the front and drive the car myself.But Meng Yi gave way: "My lord, it's better to let the younger one come. Fortunately, it's not too late now, if we hurry up, maybe we can catch up."

Shui Rong couldn't help but blame: "I said riding a horse is convenient and faster. If you miss it, you have to bear certain responsibilities."

Meng Yi hurriedly said: "Okay, I understand. My lord, please sit down."

Father Cai's face was heavy, thinking that this matter was really a big deal, and seeing that there was another man in the car, Father Cai didn't dare to think too much, so he could only pray for the blessings of his children, as long as this matter doesn't bring any harm to the family .

Meng Yi was driving the car, and Shui Rong was sitting in the car, but he was very anxious, and the two hurried towards Tongzhou.Meng Yi thought, how could she just leave without thanking that girl.

On the official road to Tongzhou, there are many people on the official road rushing to the north and south.Meng Yi didn't bother to pay attention to these things anymore, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and he knew it was getting late.Meng Yi had no choice but to hurry up.

After finally rushing all the way to the pier here, Shui Rong couldn't wait to jump out of the car, he really wanted to see her at a glance from the bustling crowd.

He and Meng Yi split up to look for it, and went around in a big circle.He stood on the pier and watched back and forth, but he never saw Daiyu.He had already clenched his fists, thinking that this matter seemed hopeless.On the one hand, he hoped that Meng Yi had found someone.

Meng Yi walked over and shook his head at Xiang Shui Rong: "It seems that there is no hope, we should get on the boat and leave. What is the prince going to do next?"

Shui Rong only felt that there were big drops of sweat on his forehead, and his body was almost weak. He came a day late, did he miss it like this?The handkerchief she left behind has not been returned to her by himself, and he still has a lot to say to her, so he just missed it.Shui Rong began to regret a little, if he had come from Yiyuan earlier that night, talked to her for a while, and when he realized that she was wrong, he would not let her leave.

Both of them looked disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.Shui Rong thought to himself that it seemed that they didn't have that bit of fate in the world of mortals.

Although lost, but also had to go back.Wait until you get back home to make another plan.

Shui Rong bent over to get into the carriage, but suddenly turned around and glanced to the right, only to see an ordinary carriage coming.The car looked a bit outdated, and when the car stopped, a young girl in ordinary clothes slowly helped a woman down.The ox cart stopped under the shade of willows, and under the cover of green willows, he vaguely saw a figure that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it.Tingting curled up, her attitude wavering.Wearing a light blue dress, with an ordinary hair style.

Not seeing each other for two days, as if every other year.Now he can sometimes recite those sentences in (Mao Poems).

Shui Rong straightened up, he paused for a moment, then walked over there with big strides.

Daiyu also looked this way, she stopped and did not move forward.Xueyan moved all the things from the car, Zijuan helped her to stand there, only saw the young gentleman walking towards this side, wearing azurite makeup and brocade sleeves, but it was not Baoyu.People are getting closer.Zicuckoo thought to herself that she might not be able to leave.

But Xueyan shouted: "Why is the prince here?" Fortunately, her voice was not loud and did not attract the crowd's attention.

Daiyu turned her body slightly, wondering why he wanted to catch up.For a moment, I just felt confused.But his footsteps were as heavy as mud, and he couldn't take a step.

Cai Li heard Xue Yan's words, and the things in his hands slipped off, and he stood there with his neck stuck, a little at a loss, his knees were trembling slightly, but his back was sweating profusely.

Shui Rong walked up to him, didn't see anyone else in his eyes, took Daiyu's hand straight away and walked away.The three people with stunned faces were left behind, as well as the driver.

Meng Yi also stepped forward, but the Zijuan brothers and sisters recognized this person.Cai Li said tremblingly, "Master Meng, what should we do now?"

Meng Yi said coldly: "You guys are too bold, you can also find a way to get rid of the princess' companion. If the Queen Mother finds out, what should I do? Who will be responsible?"

Zijuan said: "I knew it wouldn't be that simple, girl, she..." Then she glanced at Meng: "If girl, she didn't suffer any grievances in the palace, would she let her temper go?" , it’s not a child anymore, and it’s not because I can’t live anymore.”

Xueyan said: "Let's wait and go."

Seeing that the two girls were different, Meng Yi said to Xueyan: "Miss Xue, I have something to say to Miss Xue. Please move."

Zijuan pushed Xueyan and said with a smile: "Go, go."

Here, the brothers and sisters discussed again: "It seems that we can't go, so I said that the incident with the girl was too sudden. So what if we made it all the way to Yangzhou."

Cai Li thought for a while: "I will listen to my sister's arrangement."

Zijuan said with a smile: "Actually, I know that my brother is unwilling."

Cai Li blushed suddenly: "Although I am reluctant to come."

The coachman at the side looked at the pair of brothers and sisters, a little puzzled: "Can't you get on the boat yet, I'm afraid it's getting late."

"Just wait, is it possible that you will lose your money? Didn't you see that even the prince is here?" Cai Li was slightly sullen.

The coachman opened his mouth, but took back what he was about to say.

Shui Rong didn't care too much, and pulled Daiyu through the shade of willows, walking a long way.He walked so hurriedly and quickly that Daiyu could barely keep up, she wanted to pull her hand out, but Shui Rong held it even tighter.

Daiyu wondered what kind of attitude he would have, maybe he was angry.After walking all the way, Shui Rong stopped, quickly turned around, and looked straight at Daiyu: "Is there something I did wrong?"

Daiyu shook her head: "Ministers don't dare to blame the prince."

Shui Rong sneered: "You're still playing with me at this point. Don't you know I'm angry?"

Daiyu slightly raised her head to look at him, saw that there seemed to be flames in his eyes, and hurriedly moved away, thinking that she couldn't avoid the rumors in the mansion, so she had to go this way.She didn't want to go back and live that careless life again.

She stopped looking at Shui Rong, and looked at the river in front of her with fine waves under the sun, shining faintly under the rays of the sun.There seems to be a sense of determination in her eyes, thinking that her life is pitiful, and she is used to living under the fence of others, half her life wandering, where is home and where can there be a port to escape the wind and rain.

Shui Rong grabbed her hand and said, "I apologize to you, come back with me."

Daiyu thought she couldn't escape, and she saw a tall tower standing on the opposite bank, which looked majestic and majestic under the blue sky and white clouds, so she asked, "Can you take me there for a while?"

Shui Rong agreed without thinking: "Okay, I'll follow you wherever you go, don't think about leaving me and running away."

Hearing this, Daiyu turned her head to look at him, but saw that his face was solemn, his brows were slightly frowned, and his lips were pursed tightly.

The two walked one after the other, crossed a bluestone bridge, bypassed the willow shade, and finally came to the burning lighthouse.

The octagonal seat has beautiful brick carvings on each side.The wind is blowing gently, and the wind chimes hanging on the tower are also tinkling, like an extremely melodious piece of music.

Daiyu looked up at the tower, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes slightly, silently praying for something.

Shui Rong watched from the side, seeing her pious appearance, it was not easy to bother her.Looking up at the towering and majestic burning lighthouse, I was full of thoughts for a while, and many stories of rise and fall suddenly came to my mind.At the same time, he was fortunate that he was neither one step too early nor too late, and just in time to catch up.There is no need to separate the north and the south and love each other, but will she go back with her?

Daiyu thought the wind chimes were very pleasant, so she stopped listening for a moment.

Shui Rong read aloud: "Lang's body is as light as a canopy on the river, yesterday the south wind is now the north wind. The concubine's body is as heavy as the Seven Treasure Pagoda, the south peak is facing the north peak."

Daiyu felt that Shui Rong's chanting of this poem did not fit the scene, so while looking at the carvings on the bricks, she said to Shui Rong: "This pagoda is not that pagoda. Besides, Wang Ye's poem is not appropriate."

Shui Rong smiled faintly: "Regardless of whether it matches or not, I'm glad that I just caught up. If I was one step later, I might have missed my whole life."

Daiyu felt that her cheeks were slightly hot, and saw that the clouds in the western sky were magnificent and dazzling, and the reflections in the water were also full of charm.Recalling that when she was young, her mother died of illness, and her father pityed that she had no one to take care of her, so she went north to her grandmother's house, and it was from this pier that she landed.In a blink of an eye, she has become an orphan, and there is no place for her in the world.

Shui Rong said again: "What are your plans? Are you making up your mind to say goodbye? You didn't even say goodbye. Do you know..." Shui Rong seemed a little anxious, his face flushed slightly, Then he hurriedly said: "Xin'er was crying and asked me to ask for sister Lin. How should I explain to her when I go back? And how should I explain to the queen mother? Miss Lin came to our house because the queen mother nodded and agreed. If Miss Lin, please leave now. , I’m not afraid of being blamed by the Queen Mother. Thinking about it, Ms. Lin is also an ordinary person, so she can’t fail to understand these principles.”

Daiyu was silent for a while, it's not that she didn't think about what Shui Rong said, did he really not know about those rumors in the mansion?Daiyu didn't want to express the grievance in her heart. Seeing that Daiyu didn't answer, Shui Rong was even more anxious. I will protect you for a day. If you have any grievances, I will uphold justice for you when you go back." Shui Rong said calmly, afraid that she would leave him if she was not careful.

Daiyu thought for a while but said: "Minister has never felt wronged." Then she raised her eyes and said to Shui Rong: "My lord is really good for her, so please let me go back. She doesn't belong to her." Women don't expect extravagant things."

"Hey, why are you so hypocritical. Still don't understand my painstaking efforts?" Shui Rong seemed a little anxious, but soon came to his senses, he couldn't promise her anything, he couldn't afford it.

Daiyu sighed: "My lord doesn't need to say anything, I have my own ideas."

Shui Rong seemed a little frustrated, but he knew he couldn't let her go, otherwise he would really regret it for the rest of his life.So he took her little hand, with a cold face, regardless, almost dragged her, hurried on the road, afraid of further delay, afraid that it would be too late to go back.

When Daiyu got into the water-soluble car covered with green silk and emerald green, she knew that all her hard work was in vain.

Zijuan and Xueyan were in that ox cart, and there were only her and Shui Rong in the cart.Daiyu's heart was slightly uneasy.

"If you have been wronged in any way, it's just the two of us now, you and I can tell."

Daiyu kept her mouth shut, unwilling to say those words, Shui Rong gently held the warm, white and greasy catkin, her heart was full of tenderness.Daiyu couldn't dodge in time, so she could only be held by him with an embarrassed expression on her face.

"Why don't you take any of the things I gave you?"

Daiyu said: "I appreciate the kindness of the prince, but I dare not..."

Shui Rong thought that this little girl who doesn't know how to behave is a bit hateful, if she doesn't give her some flair, she really doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, so she pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Just as Daiyu was in shock, she looked at him with both eyes, clearly heard the powerful heartbeat in his chest, smelled the faint scent of incense on his clothes, and her frantic heart gradually calmed down.Shui Rong held her in front of her, and with her soft hair on her chin, she said tenderly, "You were hand-picked by the empress dowager to read with Xin'er, but now you want to leave. How do you want me to explain to the empress dowager? It can be seen that your heart is actually made of iron and stone, and you don't know how to be considerate of my heart at all."

Daiyu felt her body trembling slightly, unable to speak a word: "My lord, please let me go..."

But Shui Rong hugged her even tighter, he really wanted to use his whole life to protect the little girl in his arms, but he couldn't make a promise with her in his arms.He also thought that this woman could not be considerate of his intentions at all, and wanted to run away, so he was a little angry, and seeing her delicate and charming lips, he couldn't help but kiss her.

Daiyu was unprepared, and was stunned by his sudden aura.In a panic, she wanted to push him away, but in the end she tightened his clothes.

Shui Rong let her go, but seeing her flushed face was really touching, he couldn't help hugging her again and said: "Maybe one day, we will cherish each other, but definitely not now. I think there will be a day when all Difficulties and obstacles will be easily solved, but I will respect you just as you respect me."

Daiyu pushed him away, sat upright, and huddled in a corner by herself.The things in front of her are a bit confusing, and maybe one day in the future, she will walk away without any ties or worries.

Shui Rong knew that she was hiding from him again, so he didn't get annoyed, and said calmly, "When you go back, it will be the same as before. You live in Qixia Courtyard, and keep Xin'er company. At the same time, I will guarantee that the Queen Mother will never know This matter will not cause you any trouble. I will never disturb or offend you, but please don't avoid me deliberately, or even think about running away. I will deal with the rest. "

Daiyu frowned slightly, but did not answer.

After walking for nearly two hours, it was getting late.The gate of the city was closed, Meng Yi stepped forward and called for the gate for a long time, and then flashed the sign to show the guards of the gate, and then opened the gate to let them in.

When it was time to part ways, Shui Rong got out of the carriage, intending to meet the siblings of the Cai family, Xue Yan also got out of the carriage.Zijuan moved the things from the car for her, but saw Prince Bei walking straight towards them.Zijuan said to Cai Li: "Brother, the prince is here, talk to him."

Cai Li had never dealt with these powerful people, so he couldn't help being a little timid, but fortunately, it was already late, and he couldn't see his embarrassment.

Shui Rong walked over with big strides, Cai Li stood there with his head bowed, and said tremblingly, "My lord, what else does my lord want?"

Shui Rong smiled indifferently: "Thank you brother and sister for taking care of Miss Lin."

Cai Li said: "This is what it should be." So he didn't know what to say, and his whole body went limp, maybe it was because of the exhausted relationship after going back and forth after a day.

Zijuan came over, and said with Shui Rong fearlessly: "We are just ordinary people, and we dare not comment on the lord. Since the lord can chase us to Tongzhou, then the lord must be sincere in treating us girls. I also hope that the prince will think more about our girls."

Shui Rong felt that this woman was a bit bold, and his heart sank, thinking that she must have something to say, so he asked, "May I ask you to teach me."

Zijuan hurriedly said: "Don't dare. If we want our girl to live peacefully in the palace, I also implore the prince to find out why our girl wants to go back to the south."

Shui Rong knew it well, but Daiyu refused to say it, but there must be a reason behind it.

Since it was getting late, dogs barked again from some courtyards.Shui Rong said to Zijuan: "I heard Miss Lin praised her, she seems really extraordinary, and I hope you can come to the mansion to spend more time with her."

Zijuan said: "Let's talk. Let's say goodbye. Take care, my lord."

Shui Rong nodded, then turned back to this side.Meng's gang of snow geese loaded everything into the car, but Shui Rong didn't go back into the car, but sat outside and drove with Meng.

Meng Yi glanced at him, but he didn't dare to let him drive the car, so he lowered his voice and asked: "Your Highness has been hit, right?"

"What hit?"

"It's either a blow, or a soft nail. But the prince should feel lucky that he is back." Meng Yi smiled lightly.The sky was getting darker, and it was almost impossible to tell the direction, but I had to speed up the journey.

Daiyu in the car was also exhausted, and she was planning how to live the next day.Xueyan was close to her side, took her hand, and comforted her in a soft voice: "Sister Zijuan said, let the girl not worry. It is proper to take care of your body first, and you must be calm no matter what difficulties you encounter. It's good to deal with it. Besides, what is there to worry about now, the girl has been with the princess for a few years, and the queen mother will make decisions for the girl anyway."

Daiyu was silent, she slightly raised the corner of the curtain and looked out, she couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't chased after him.At this time, I was already on the boat, and I could really let go of everything at that time.Hometown Luyao, is there no possibility of going back in this life?

The night is dark, and the road can be vaguely distinguished.When we returned to the palace, it was already the second watch.

The gate of the palace was open, and Mr. Ma was waiting outside, his face full of anxiety.It wasn't until my neck was sore that I heard the sound of wheels rolling over bricks and running towards this side.Manager Ma hurried up to meet him.

Meng Yi stopped his horse, turned over and got off, and Shui Rong also rushed off.Ma Rong hurried forward and said: "The prince is back."

Xueyan also came down, and then went to help Daiyu.

Meng Yi asked a servant to move things back to Qixia Courtyard for them.

Shui Rong asked Ma Rong wearily: "Is there nothing wrong at home?"

Ma Rong replied: "The seventh prince has come to look for the prince."

"Oh." Shui Rong thought it was not a big deal.Looking back at Daiyu again, he said, "Ma'am, please go to the flower hall and sit down. Someone has brought food to eat. You must be hungry." Then he said to Meng, "Go back, there is nothing wrong here. You have been out for a long time. There should also be an explanation to the family.”

Meng Yi smiled and said: "Alright. The prince withdrew without ordering the little one."

"Go ahead, come back tomorrow morning." Shui Rong felt that every bone in his body was aching.

After passing through the Chuihua Gate, Nan Qing waited with her people for a long time, and Dun Hui was also here.When she saw Daiyu came back safely, she was so happy that she ran over immediately, pulled Daiyu and cried and laughed: "Sister Lin is a bad person, she just left without saying a word. Please wait for her."

Seeing that so many people were disturbed, Daiyu felt very sorry.Seeing the princess like this again, I had to say: "The princess, it's all the fault of the women, let the princess worry about it."

"It doesn't matter, it's good that sister Lin comes back. It made my sister-in-law very anxious. Hey, it's good that brother found you."

The only thing Nan Qing cared about was Shui Rong, she stepped forward to ask her relatives, she was very enthusiastic, and she didn't look directly at Daiyu, thinking that she really had a lot of tricks, making the house uneasy, she really had a lot of tricks.
