Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Daiyu bid farewell to Suzhou with Shui Rong, and went all the way to Hangzhou. Shui Rong still has some work to do, so she can go north after finishing her work.

Along the way, the boats and cars were tiring, and the weather was already hot, so when she arrived in Hangzhou, Daiyu had already fallen ill.

Just after she got down, Shui Rong hurriedly asked for the best doctor in the area to see Daiyu.Shui Rong was very busy with both places, and her heart hung on Daiyu.I was restless all day long, wishing to suffer all these pains for her.Except for some occasions where he had to appear in person, other matters were left to Meng Yi to handle.

Shui Rong went straight to Daiyu's bedroom, she had already taken the medicine and fell asleep.Xueyan was sitting on the footrest in front of the bed, doing needlework with her hands, her eyelids had already started to fight, and her eyes were shaking.

When Shui Rong came to her, she didn't notice it, until Shui Rong stepped forward and pulled her clothes, when Xue Yan suddenly turned back to look, she saw Shui Rong, slightly surprised, hurriedly got up and said: "When did the prince come, I will go Pour a cup of tea for the prince."

Shui Rong said: "No need, go to rest for a while if you're tired. I'll just watch from the side. By the way, how is her condition, is she better?"

Xueyan smiled and said: "It's getting better, you don't have to worry, my lord. Then please do yourself a favor, I'll go to the next room to rest for a while."

Shui Rong moved a chair by himself, sat down in front of him, and looked at the person lying on the bed.She was sleeping peacefully, but there were already dense layers of sweat on her forehead, Shui Rong hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it off for Daiyu, and carefully shook the fan for her.

Shui Rong grew up in Jinxiu, the eldest son of the family, and became the eldest son at a young age.Everyone held it like a phoenix.I have never personally taken care of people carefully, so it is careless to do it.Afraid of breaking her.

Shui Rong looked at the sleeping man, and couldn't help thinking about the days to come.Over the years of acquaintance, he has been silently guarding the woman in front of him, but due to various obstacles, even though the two are under the same roof, their hearts can never get close. Daiyu is also sensitive, and she is afraid of offending her if she is not careful. She is annoyed.Shui Rong thought, Daiyu doesn't know what he has fought for and worked hard for this marriage, and he doesn't intend to tell her that she may still not understand her heart now, and it may take decades before she can truly understand her. I was moved by myself.

A smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he stretched out his hand to hold that slender hand.Never thought that this action would wake Daiyu from her sleep.

Daiyu turned around and opened her eyes to see that there was indeed a person sitting in front of her. Seeing that it was water melting, Daiyu hurriedly propped herself up to sit up, looking a little flustered: "Why is the lord here?"

"I'm worried, so I came to see you. Is it better?"

Daiyu seemed apologetic: "It's much better, thank you for your concern, my lord."

Shui Rong frowned slightly, with a slight displeasure on his face: "You always treat yourself like this, even if you are a family, if you do this again, I will get angry." Seeing that Daiyu's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her lips were a little chapped.At that time, she didn't know what Shui Rong was thinking, but she moved closer and kissed Daiyu's lips.Daiyu was startled by his sudden movement, hurriedly pushed him away, and said awkwardly: "My lord, please go back, I have to get up too."

Shui Rongfang felt that he was a bit reckless, and smiled embarrassingly: "You must be thirsty, I'll go and pour you some water."

Daiyu was about to say no, but she saw that Shui Rong had already strode to the table, holding the pot to refill water, holding the tea bowl in one hand, and supporting Daiyu in the other, and was about to feed her, but Daiyu said: "My lord, I Come by yourself, you can do it."

"You're better, so I feel at ease. I even said that I'm taking you out for fun. We have to go back in two days. I can't delay any longer with a letter from the court."

Daiyu said: "It's because the daughters of the people don't want to cause trouble for the prince."

"How can I blame you. These things are also cumbersome. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have made this trip." Shui Rong said softly.

Daiyu remembered one thing, where will she live after returning to Beijing, obviously the palace cannot live in for the time being, the two have a marriage contract, how can they live together again?She doesn't want to go back to Jia's house, but where can she live, maybe in the end she has to go back to Jia's house.

She didn't discuss these words with Shui Rong immediately, but said with a smile: "My lord, please go elsewhere first, I want to change the laundry."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Alright, I'll come see you later." After saying that, he went out and let Xueyan come in to serve him.

When Shui Rong walked to the front yard, Meng Yi just came back.Seeing that his face was flushed from the sun and his clothes were soaked with sweat, he couldn't stop shaking his fan. Seeing Shui Rong, he said: "My lord, things are going well. However, Hangzhou Zhizao wants to see the lord. It is said that a banquet has been prepared, please." My lord will come over tonight."

After hearing this, Shui Rong thought for a while and said, "Why bother others, I'm a trouble-free person. If I go here, many people will be disturbed, and everyone will be disturbed. One more thing is better than one less thing. There is tomorrow It’s already decided to go to the West Lake, and this trip will definitely not be without drinking. I’m most afraid of getting a hangover, so I’d better not go.”

Meng Yixin understood who Shui Rong was for, and smiled slightly: "Then send Liu'er to explain, the prince won't go."

"Exactly. With the officials in these places, I will stay as far away as I can. I can avoid everything except the necessary contacts. I'm afraid those who are interested will know it, and I don't know what to say when I take it back. Chao You and I both understand the situation in the middle, and I don't want to offend anyone, just do my part."

Of course Meng Yi understands what Shui Rong thinks and considers in his heart, but now there is a constant undercurrent in the court, and the eyes of many people behind him are staring at him.Liu'er came up with two ice bowls.Shui Rong asked, "Have you sent it to Miss Lin?"

Liu'er replied: "It was just sent away, but Miss Lin said that she was never used to these things, so she sent them back."

It turns out that this ice bowl is the most important drink to cool off in summer. Fresh lotus root, water chestnut, lotus seeds, peach kernels and lotus seeds are placed on it. Put rose marinade, cover with crushed ice, pour it into a glass jar, and just take out a bowl when you want to eat.Daiyu is weak by nature, so she dare not use ice, water chestnut and fresh lotus root even in dog days.

After using the ice bowl, Meng Fang remembered something, patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell the prince. The piano that the prince asked the little one to repair is now finished."

"Really, that's really a happy event. Miss Lin has been worrying about this Qin for a long time, and she can finally let her go."

There was nothing else to do next, Shui Rong invited Meng to play two games of chess before dispersing.Shui Rong was always worried about Daiyu's body, so he couldn't help but visit her again.Only then did he lift the curtain and enter the room, only to see a qin under the window, which was wide open.Incense was burning in the small incense burner next to it.Daiyu sat aside, staring at Naqin in a daze, motionless like a clay sculpture.

Shui Rong stood at the door, watching the scene quietly, but he didn't break the silence.Until Xueyan found him: "The prince is here."

Only then did Daiyu come back to her senses, she hurriedly got up and said with a smile, "The lord is here."

"The broken string has been re-attached. Have you tried the sound? If it's not good, send it for someone to change."

Daiyu said: "This piano was handed down from my ancestors, and it has been in my father's hands. My father loved it very much when he was alive, and he has been carefully protecting it. It was passed on to me when my father passed away. I think it should Pass it on. This violin always reminds me of good things from the past, even though it's all dust now."

Shui Rong listened patiently, but he could understand Daiyu's mood, and smiled lightly: "You should relax, and tell me if you have any difficulties in the future."

Daiyu sat back in front of the piano and tried the strings first.He bowed his head and flicked one (Qiu Hong).

The sound of the qin was curling, and Shui Rong stood aside, listening quietly, convinced in her heart that Daiyu's qin skills are superb, but she usually hides it too deeply and never reveals it easily in front of others.However, this piano is originally an elegant thing, and it is not suitable to be used as a show of skill because of one's integrity.

There are bursts of cicadas on the branches outdoors, and the sound of the piano is also in harmony with each other.

At the end of the song, Daiyu put her hands back and stood up, slightly bowed to Shui Rong, and said modestly: "Duan's skills are crude, the prince laughed."

Shui Rong smiled: "It sounds too good to me. Listening to Miss Lin's song is like fairy music. The ancients didn't say that man and nature are one, and things are forgotten. Miss Lin plays the piano and is not affected by the outside world. , the true state is to have no distractions.”

Daiyu smiled and said, "My lord is also a person who knows the melody well. It is said that a bosom friend is hard to come by. Back then, 'the towering heights are like Mount Tai, and the ocean is like rivers' has already become a beautiful story through the ages. The so-called 'the sound is hard to know' , Knowing the truth is hard to come by, and meeting one's bosom friend, almost once in a thousand years?'"

Shui Rong slightly nodded his head: "It's very true, a bosom friend must be a bosom friend." He stepped forward, took Daiyu's hand and said: "I regard you as a bosom friend, I don't know what about you?"

Daiyu looked into those clear eyes, full of sincerity, she was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered what happened many years ago, but the people around her were already different.At that time, she regarded him as a confidant, and indeed he was a confidant, so what happened later?Now that the two of them will never meet again, thinking of this, I just feel a slight pain in my heart, and she shed tears, hurriedly turned away, and said clearly: "The prince loves you so much, and the daughter of the people can't afford it." .”

Apparently Shui Rong didn't know why Daiyu was crying, thinking of her usual petty nature, she didn't dare to say anything more.

Daiyu wiped away her tears and remembered something. She didn't call Xueyan and opened an official suitcase she carried with her.He took out a brocade box, put it in Shui Rong's hand and said: "This is Wang Ye's property, it's time to return it to Wang Ye."

Unable to understand, she opened the box and saw that it contained the jade pendant he gave, but with the tassels on it, it was elegant and exquisite.Shui Rong just glanced at it and closed it again. He put it on the piano and did not take it, and said flatly: "It was originally given to you, so there is no reason to take it back. The above words are exactly what I want to give to Miss Lin. With your intelligence, you will not fail to understand, and if you understand the above meaning, you will not have such troubles. You are the person I will spend the rest of my life with, so I really don’t need to be so clear.” After finishing speaking, he went out.

When Daiyu looked back, the person had already left.Just now his words are still lingering in front of him, wondering if this is the fate of the two of them?Although she still can't adapt to it now, she can't adapt to the identity in the future.I thought that if he was a confidant, he would be considerate of his own heart.But why does it always feel that there is an invisible wall between the two of them, making it impossible for Daiyu to accept that person's goodness without consideration.Later, Daiyu finally understood that one was because of the death of the princess, and the other was Baoyu.

Early the next morning, Xueyan came in with a new set of clothes.

Daiyu just woke up and slept soundly last night.Maybe it was because the doctor prescribed tranquilizing medicine, so I got up a little late, but my spirit was good.

Daiyu straightened her hair in the mirror, turned her head to see Xueyan, and asked, "Where are you going? I called for someone, but you didn't come."

Xueyan smiled and said: "I kept the girl waiting for a long time, this is a dress for the girl, I went up to get it."

Daiyu took a look at Xueyan's hand, and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Xueyan smiled and said: "The prince made it for me." After looking at the white gauze shirt, the silver-red silk embroidered bijia, and the goose-yellow thread skirt, Daiyu frowned slightly: "I don't like wearing this red color very much." Clothes, change to something else."

But Xueyan said: "It's all prepared by the prince, so don't be picky, girl. It won't make the prince unhappy. Besides, this set of clothes is very pretty."

Daiyu thought to herself, does he even care about such a small matter even if he is a dignified prince?But after all, he couldn't live up to his intentions, so he asked Xueyan to dress up.

Till having breakfast with Shui Rong in the inner hall, although Daiyu still felt awkward, it was much better than before.No one said much at the dinner table, Shui Rong still carefully served her vegetables and porridge, and Daiyu still didn't eat much.

When I went out, it was already dusk and the setting sun was gradually setting in the west.In the small oil car with the green curtain, Daiyu and Xueyan are accompanied.From time to time, there were noisy voices and shouts outside.Xueyan couldn't help looking out through the curtain, but Daiyu scolded her lightly: "It seems that I have never seen the world again."

Xueyan said with a smile: "I haven't seen much of the world before, so I finally came out, so of course I have to take a good look. Now that I'm back in Beijing, it's not easy to think about it."

Daiyu thought, yes, I'm going back.She didn't want to go back at first, but when he found him, she couldn't help but obey his words.I thought I had to ask him clearly, there must be a place to stay when I return to Beijing, otherwise I will not be prepared at all, and I will be flustered.

Along the way, Daiyu felt uneasy.It wasn't until the car stopped that Xueyan opened the curtain first, stepped on the footstool and went down to help Daiyu.

I saw the shade of green willows, slightly covering the vast expanse of blue waves, and a layer of gorgeous glow was sprinkled on the water.The short hills in the distance are more and more blue.Daiyu didn't understand why she went out so late, but she thought there must be a reason for water melting, and the West Lake in the sunset must have a charm that was rarely seen at other times.

Daiyu supported the snow geese, and boarded a painting boat painted vermilion tied to the bank, with a light blue curtain hanging down.Someone reached out to give Daiyu a hand, but Xueyan didn't follow the same boat, but went to a small boat next to her.

Shui Rong held her with one hand, supported her body with the other, and said gently: "Be careful."

Then two drivers came up and took off the chains, slowly shaking the oars.Daiyu first leaned on the side of the boat and watched for a while, then Shui Rong came over and pulled her to sit down at the small round table.Here have prepared the best food and wine, several dishes of exquisite fruit dishes.

Daiyu looked out of the boat with both eyes, there was a beautiful glow on the surface of the water, the waves were thin, and the breeze was blowing towards her face, making her face moist and cool, not as salty as the sea surface.

Shui Rong took the initiative to pour half a cup of ebony wine infused with acacia flowers into a rhinoceros horn cup in front of Daiyu.

"I said I would take you out to play, but it's a pity that I have been delayed by something. Do you like this place?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Of course it's good. I haven't been out much. It's not like the prince who traveled all over the world. He has seen a lot of things. He has seen all the beautiful scenery in the world."

Shui Rong said calmly: "When I have free time in the future, I will take you along for a trip, so the most important thing right now is to take good care of your body, so that you will have the strength to travel far and wide in the future."

Daiyu looked elsewhere, the setting sun was setting, and the green willows were also covered with a layer of glow.The painted boat passed under the bridge slowly, startling a pool of waterfowl, and saw them flapping their wings and flying low over the water.

Shui Rong had already poured himself a few glasses of wine, but seeing Daiyu standing in front of the window and refusing to come over to drink with him, he stepped forward and took her hand and said: "What's the matter, is there something on your mind, tell me Listen."

Daiyu looked back at him and sighed: "I happen to have something to discuss with the prince."

Shui Rong pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile, "Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

"This time I will go back with the prince, but where will I live? I don't want to go back to the Rongguo Mansion, and it's not good to go back to the Wang Mansion. After all, the marriage contract..."

"It's worth your trouble for what I think it is. Just tell me no. It's fine if you don't want to go back to Jia's house. I still have a courtyard elsewhere. If you don't clean it up, you can stay for a while. "Shui Rong chuckled.

Daiyu blushed and said, "This is even more inappropriate."

Shui Rong understood what she was thinking, and her smile softened even more, spreading from between her brows and eyes: "Don't worry, I made arrangements early on. The Concubine Nan'an recognized you as a foster daughter that day, and now it still counts." Yes. I told Brother Houhai that Concubine Toffee is also willing to take you back to live for a few days, just wait for the days to come."

Daiyu thought that he had already arranged it, why didn't he tell her, it was considered reasonable, but she was not familiar with Nan'an Palace, fortunately it was not a long-term residence, so she should be able to handle it in a few days.

Shui Rong's tone softened a bit: "It's just because I'm still in the clothes of the princess, everything may be easier, but the etiquette is also necessary. I don't like noisy ones, I'm afraid you will be wronged."

Daiyu's cheeks were slightly flushed, a little awkward: "It's fine for the prince to decide these matters, why bother to ask me again."

Shui Rong poured another glass of wine, and said with a bit of bitterness: "Many rituals are like this, and it is not easy to violate them. But I am at ease if I marry you in as soon as possible. You can live in the palace for a long time. I am very relieved. I'll leave everything to you to do."

Daiyu thought to herself that this is a matter that has not been written off, so why did she talk about it again, and hurriedly said: "How can I intervene in those things in the mansion? What is going on now, what will happen in the future."

Afraid that she would think too much, Shui Rong said, "Let's discuss these things slowly. Nan Qing has been at home for many years, and she has served her mother and concubine again since she was a child. She was very important to her when she was still there. I understand, even though she has a lot of bad things, but there are many places where the whole family bumps into each other, as long as it's not too out of line, I can bear it, as long as it doesn't violate my bottom line."

Daiyu naturally doesn't want to comment too much on Nan Qing, but she knows that it will be difficult to get along with her in the future.

As the boat drove slowly, Daiyu saw the pagoda bathed in the setting sun, and pointed to it and asked, "What's the name of that pagoda?"

Shui Rong said: "This is a wonderful scene on the West Lake. It is Lei Feng's sunset, so it is naturally Lei Feng Pagoda."

"Leifeng Pagoda!" Daiyu recalled that she had read a story in a storybook called (White Snake Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda), which was about a snake spirit who practiced for thousands of years. The little guy, was finally received in this pagoda by the monk and the little guy.Daiyu didn't know if there was a white snake spirit in this pagoda, maybe it was just a ridiculous legend, how could there be so many ghost legends in the world.

Daiyu didn't think too much about the reliability of this story, but just looked at the majestic and majestic tower from a distance, and it was even more colorful under the reflection of the setting sun.At this moment, I couldn't help but hear the fisherman's song, and I don't know which fishing boat floated on the water.Both Shui Rong and Dai Yu held their breaths and listened attentively. Later, the words became clearer and clearer, like a man and a woman answering each other. All they heard was: "We have agreed for a hundred years."

"Which died at 97."

"Waiting on the Naihe Bridge for three years."

Daiyu has never heard such a rough song, without gold and stone, without silk string accompaniment, just like this oncoming breeze, simple and natural.These sentences made her heart move slightly, and she couldn't help turning her head to look at Shui Rong, just as he was also looking at her.

Shui Rong took out a bamboo flute and played it slowly, Daiyu sat down and listened.It turned out to be one (Sauvignon Blanc), only after hearing Shui Rong play a few words, Daiyu suddenly realized that he was the one who played the song that night on the grassland.I couldn't help but listen to the obsession, and then thought of that (Yuefu): "Long-term love, long-term parting, the two hearts share the same memories but are not clear. The sadness is sad and the clouds are full. The willow leaf eyebrows are pinned up, and the water chestnut is extinguished in the mirror. The wild goose is sealed. Flying off, the carp is still flowing." In this sentence, thinking about the fisherman's song just now, I felt mixed feelings in my heart for a moment, lingering endlessly, rubbing the handkerchief, and I don't know where my thoughts are flying.

At the end of the song, the water melted her mouth, and wanted to ask Daiyu how she felt, but when she looked back, she saw tears streaming down her face, thinking she was doing well, why did she cry again.I saw pear blossoms with rain, extremely delicate.Although there was no sobbing sound, it still made people feel extremely distressed.Shui Rong got closer, hugged her shoulders, and said softly, "Why are you crying?"

Daiyu rubbed her eyes, fearing that he might be overwhelmed, she quickly covered it up and said, "Why did you ever cry?"

Shui Rong teased her, "There are still tears on her face, and she can't lie to me, but I don't believe it."

Daiyu leaned on his shoulder, feeling more at ease than ever at this moment.No matter how anxious I am, as long as he is by my side, I will always comfort and encourage myself.These years of wandering, the helplessness in my heart, it seems that I have received great comfort and attachment at this moment, and there is a trace of reluctance in my heart.Like a tired bird that has finally returned.

The fisherman's song has drifted away and can no longer be heard, only a few water birds are still flying around the hull, they are chasing and playing with each other, they have their own happiness.

The setting sun of Leifeng, the wind and lotus in Quyuan, and the Subai two embankments complement each other.It looks even more magnificent under the cover of the setting sun.Daiyu tried her best to burn the beautiful scenery in front of her into the depths of her memory one by one, because she didn't know if she could come here again in this life.

Shui Rong sat in front of him and said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful the scenery in the world is, it can't compare to your smile. But you love to cry, and when I see you cry, I don't know what to do, so I will work harder in the future, Let you laugh more and cry less."

When Daiyu heard this, she wanted to scold him for being nasty and hypocritical, but a tinge of sweetness grew in her heart.I can't bear to say anything more.She looked at the beautiful scenery outside the ship window, and the setting sun was no longer visible.The surface of the water is even more red, like a fine brocade.Seeing the sky full of sunset again, I thought it was time to go back.

Shui Rong kept holding her hand, couldn't help turning his head to look at her again, but saw that she was also stained with sunlight, her eyes were shining brightly, just like the stars in the sky, no, they were even brighter than those stars.I read so many sentences when I was young, but now I can't find a suitable sentence to describe the beautiful woman in front of me.His heart was full of joy, and he was afraid that this was just a dream of his, so he quickly took Daiyu into his arms, hugged her tightly, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "When you grow up so big, you will always be happy." I feel like I've been looking for it. Now I finally found it. Fortunately, fortunately!"
