Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 123: Exempting life and death to make lovesickness

Zijuan came to the palace to visit Daiyu, and the two talked for a long time in the room.

Zijuan is a considerate person, so naturally she comforted her for a while, and then said to Daiyu: "Young lady also needs to take care of herself. Are you sleeping well at night? How many times have you woken up?"

Daiyu said: "It's better now. It's easier to fall asleep at night, but I wake up more times. It's not uncommon to sleep two or three times. In addition, a lot of things have happened these days. There is no defense at all." Daiyu felt tired, but at this moment she was thinking of leaving here, and when this thought crept into her mind, it never went away.It's just that this time she couldn't walk quietly, and after glancing at Zijuan, she gave up the idea of ​​asking Zijuan to help.

Zijuan said with a smile: "It's the girl who taught me to keep the clouds open and see the moon at the beginning. The girl can't sleep well, it's also because of thinking too much during the day, coupled with the lack of energy and blood, just make up for it slowly. .”

Daiyu nodded and asked again: "Sister Zijuan is not young anymore, she must have booked someone else, why have you never heard of it?"

Zijuan's face turned red all of a sudden, and she said with a sneer: "Young lady, what do I say, I'm afraid that the girl's good deeds are coming soon." After saying this, Zijuan looked at Daiyu's displeasure, so she didn't continue. go down.

In the afternoon, someone from Jia's came to bring Daiyu a message: "The old lady's spirit will be transported back to the south in the future, is Miss Lin going to say goodbye?"

Daiyu thought to herself how could she not say goodbye. Grandmother had been worried about her all her life, and she might still be thinking about her when she left, so she agreed without hesitation.

Xueyan heard from behind and said: "Entering the ancestral tomb is the right thing to do, but the journey is far away. Girl tell me what to bring, so I can prepare it."

Daiyu looked at the increasingly green plantains under the window, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, which gradually took shape and became clearer and clearer.Now she doesn't have to report to the queen mother, it's good to be free.

"Come with me to Taoye Residence." Daiyu turned her head and said to Xueyan.

Xueyan hurriedly said: "Young lady, why do you need to make this trip in person? The concubine on the south side also knows well that she never takes people from our side seriously. If you have anything to say, let us talk about it."

Daiyu waved her hand: "I have to talk about this in person, let's go."

Xueyan followed closely, and the master and servant walked towards Taoyeju.

Nan Qing just woke up from a nap, and Xiuyi and Sufei were helping her add clothes.Now that the concubine passed away early, Nan Qing was naturally the eldest, and she had been busy for several days, although she was a little tired, but now that she was in power again, no one dared to take care of her, she felt very happy.

I heard the servant girl say that Miss Lin is here.Nan Qing laughed: "Without a backer, she is begging me now. You tell her to wait, I'm busy."

Nan Qing lay comfortably in the rattan chair, with her legs crossed slightly, the sitting posture was a bit indecent, but this posture was very comfortable.She closed her eyes slightly, and Xiu Yi slowly held Nan Qing's head in front of her.

Daiyu and Xueyan waited in the west room, but no one came out, but Daiyu could bear her temper, and sat there watching the incense in the incense burner, bit by bit.

After a while, a voice came from the room over there: "Master Nan is here."

Daiyu got up quickly.

Nan Qing walked out holding on to the embroidered clothes, with a smile on her face: "Oh, why is Miss Lin here? But rare visitors, you really are, why don't you let Miss Lin wait here? .”

Xueyan on the side was a little annoyed when he heard this, and thought that it was obviously you who asked us to wait, but now it is someone else who is to blame.Even the princess and princess don't put on such airs.It's just a side concubine, so there are so many rules.

But Daiyu was a little more indifferent, and said with a smile: "I have something to tell my side concubine, and I ask my side concubine to agree."

Nan Qing wanted to ask her something, so she was naturally happy in her heart, so she smiled and said: "It's rare for Miss Lin to come to ask, tell me, what's the matter, I don't know if I can help."

Daiyu said: "Grandmother's spirit is going back to the south. I want to go back to the south together."

Nan Qing was slightly surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Lin is leaving again? Why do you want to say hello this time?"

Daiyu said: "Last time it was rude, this time I should say hello. I will leave early in the morning."

Nan Qing was fulfilling her wish in her heart, thinking that it would be a great blessing for you to leave.It's best not to come back again, I have to send you off happily, so I hurriedly said: "Miss Lin has decided on her own, so I shouldn't say anything more. If this is the case, I will ask someone to prepare for Miss Lin. By the way, how about holding a farewell banquet for Lin Daiyu tonight."

But Lin Daiyu refused: "I have accepted the side concubine's wishes, so I don't have to bother the teacher like this, I can't bear it. Besides, the matter of the concubine is over, and the people in the house are not in that mood. Save it."

Nan Qing gave up when she heard about it.

After returning to Qixia Courtyard, Daiyu asked Xueyan to start packing.Xueyan hurriedly asked: "Is the girl really going back to the south?"

Daiyu replied: "Could there be fake ones? Just bring the ones from last time."

Seeing the situation, Xueyan seemed to have decided to leave, and wondered if what the girl was thinking was not to return to the capital again?Don't dare to ask rashly.

It didn't take long for Dunhui to hear this and ran over, holding Daiyu's hand very reluctantly: "Why did Sister Lin leave? Could it be that our family treated Sister Lin badly?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "No, the people here are very kind to me. I think about home every day, and haven't been back for many years. I just took this opportunity to go back and have a look. The princess has never left home, so I don't know what's inside. taste."

Dunhui has matured a lot after experiencing the incident with her sister-in-law. She can understand Daiyu's mood at the moment, but she is reluctant to let her go, thinking that the best sister-in-law to her is gone, and finally someone is willing to accompany her. Talking to relieve boredom, sister Lin will be even more lonely when she leaves again, she hurriedly said: "Sister Lin and my brother have said this?"

Daiyu said, "Not yet."

Dun Hui said firmly: "Brother, he will definitely not let Sister Lin go, so Sister Lin should not even think about going back."

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Why don't you let me do it? Could it be that he won't let me do my filial piety to my grandmother? It doesn't make sense."

Dunhui turned her face away and wiped her tears: "Why do you stay in this house, I have to go with the princess sister. Sister Lin, don't forget that you are still my companion, you must come back."

Daiyu nodded, but she was thinking of another matter.

It was getting late, Daiyu thought that Shui Rong should have come back from the court.It would be disrespectful not to say goodbye in person, and I was already full of apologies to him last time.So I left Qixia courtyard and meandered towards the front.

When I went to the flower hall to inquire, it turned out that Shui Rong hadn't come back yet.Later, Xiyue greeted her and said: "The lord came back late these two days, so let Miss Lin wait. If you have anything to say, just tell me Miss Lin."

Sitting there, Daiyu said calmly, "Don't bother sister Xiyue, I'll just wait for him."

Xiyue nodded and stayed with her all the time.The two gossiped without saying a word, and they naturally talked about the new princess, Xiyue sighed: "Wangfei is such a good person, she can't live long."

Daiyu felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this: "Perhaps this is fate, and no one can escape. The princess has always lived in that circle, after all, she still hasn't come out in this life. She shouldn't be like this."

Xiyue looked at Daiyu and thought to herself, what should I do in the future?I'm afraid that in a few more days, the prince will marry Miss Lin in front of him. At that time, she will be the new mistress of the mansion. In a few more years, who will remember that there was another princess.

The two of them looked at the pointer on the clock and slowly walked through one frame after another, and it was already the middle of Xu time, and only then did they hear the people from the outer court shouting back and forth: "The prince is back."

The two hurriedly got up, and when they reached the eaves, they saw Shui Rong coming back facing the night.The two servants in front led the way with lanterns.When Shui Rong saw Daiyu who was waiting for him, he was slightly surprised, but a layer of joy gradually surged up from the bottom of his heart, and the fatigue on his body disappeared immediately.With big strides, he came all the way to the eaves.

Xiyue first said: "Why did the prince come back later today than yesterday?"

Shui Rong said: "I can't help it. There are too many things to get away." Then he went to see Daiyu: "Why is Miss Lin here? Is there something wrong at such a late hour?"

Daiyu replied: "I have something to discuss with the prince."

Shui Rong said: "It's cold here, please sit in the back, Miss Lin. I'll come as soon as I go." He faintly sensed that it wouldn't be a good thing.

Xiyue smiled and said: "That's right, Miss Lin is not willing to ask Miss Lin to wait in the back."

Daiyu didn't want to delay any longer, so she blurted out: "Minnv only has a few words, and then she will go back."

Shui Rong said, "Let's ask Miss Lin to come up and sit down first. I'll come later." Shui Rong turned around and left, not leaving Daiyu much chance to speak.

Xiyue turned to Daiyu and said, "So let's invite Miss Lin to sit in the back."

In the small study room here, candlelight was shining brightly, Daiyu sat alone with Ying'er, but this time Shui Rong came in after a short wait.Daiyu got up quickly.

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Miss Lin, sit still." He came back with a lot of official documents and put them heavily on the desk.

Daiyu stood at the back, looking at his figure, feeling a little unbearable in her heart, she thought over and over again, and finally said: "My lord, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"Farewell, where are you going?" Shui Rong suddenly looked back at Daiyu as if she had been stabbed by a needle.

Daiyu lowered her eyelids and said: "In the morning of the next day, I will go back to the south with my grandmother's spirit."

Shui Rong thought that this happened too suddenly, he frowned, and refused straight away: "I don't allow you to leave. Stay here with peace of mind, and you won't be wronged in the slightest."

Daiyu was silent, she didn't expect Shui Rong to reject her so directly, but she didn't show panic, she said calmly: "I should go to see my grandmother for the last time, is the prince even blocking this?"

Shui Rong expressed his concerns: "You can just go back to Rongguo Mansion to pay respects, why bother to go south. Have you made up your mind that you won't come back after this walk?"

Daiyu was at a loss for words for a moment, feeling that this was not her home after all, and there was no reason to live here for the rest of her life.The words of the concubine before she died were nothing more than comfort to the two of them.With Shui Rong's power and status, it won't be long before other women will compete to be the Northern Princess, which has nothing to do with him after all.

"You don't talk, so you just made up your mind?" Shui Rong came over and took her hand, looked into her eyes and said, "A lot of things have happened these days, I have no resources to take care of you, It's my fault. After a while, I think we can..."

Daiyu hurriedly interrupted him: "Ministers have never expected anything extravagantly, and they also understand their own responsibilities. I am just a helpless orphan girl. I know what the prince wants. No need to say any more."

"So you're going to go?"

Daiyu nodded.

Shui Rong pulled her into his arms, and said distressedly: "Why can't you be considerate of my heart at all, tell me, what should I do? How can you accept a person's sincerity without any scruples?"

Daiyu trembled slightly and said, "My lord, just let me go. Maybe I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

Shui Rong hugged her tightly, unwilling to let her go, he had never been so tired, yet he yearned for someone's sincerity so much, he thought for a long time and finally said: "Whether you are at the end of the world or at the end of the world, When everything is fine here, I will find you. No matter how far you go, I will try to bring you back."

Daiyu felt that her eyes were blurred, and hot tears rolled down her cheeks.It fell on the clothes on Shui Rong's chest, his breath was all over the clothes, now mixed with his own tears.She took the initiative to stretch out her right hand, and gently intertwined with his hand, but only for a moment, she had already left this warm embrace.Turn around and leave.

"Yu'er!" Shui Rong hurriedly surrounded her tightly from behind, and said without hesitation: "I have seen women who are better than you in terms of talent, appearance, and family background. When you really walked into my heart, it was you who wept alone under the flowers. Only then did I realize that your heart and mine are actually the same. You and I are two lonely people. I don’t love your appearance and talent, but only for your exquisite, cold and lonely heart, but I beg you not to leave me alone.”

Daiyu was slightly shocked in her heart, she closed her eyes, but what she was thinking in her heart was: Ande and the king will be separated, so that life and death will not be lovesick.Hardened his heart, gently took his hand away, and then went outside step by step.Under the light of the moon, she walked briskly, passed the corridor in a blink of an eye, and completely disappeared in the night.
