Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 16: Meeting the old friends

Daiyu wanted to spy on the other side of the princess, but she was afraid of being rash.At this time, the servant girl brought a large white jade flower plate, which contained many freshly picked chrysanthemums, and bent over to bring the flower plate to the princess, "Please wear the flowers."

The princess looked at it once, then picked up a small, unremarkable flower and put it on her temples.Seeing that Daiyu was lost in thought, she quickly picked up a golden aster and said to Daiyu, "I'll replace Miss Lin's hairpin."

Daiyu was so panicked that she got up quickly: "How dare you bother the princess."

The concubine took her hand and said with a smile: "I saw that you were born weak, are you alright now?"

Daiyu quickly replied: "Thank you, Princess, for your concern, the daughter of the people is well now."

"That's very good." The princess was talking to Daiyu, when she suddenly heard laughter from outside, she hurriedly said to Daiyu, "They're here." She hurriedly went to greet the guests, and Daiyu also got up in a hurry.

Soon many Yingying Yanyans came in, and Daiyu quickly retreated to the corner.Watching all this with cold eyes, thinking that their excitement has nothing to do with him anyway.

The concubine greeted warmly, but she was afraid of slowing down this one and belittling that one.When I looked back, I saw Daiyu in an inconspicuous place, came up and brought Daiyu to the front, and laughed with everyone: "Look, I have an extra beauty here today."

"Ah, she is indeed a beauty. Who is this girl?" The lady who spoke was wearing a silver-red crane cloak, with a slightly plump figure and a tall stature.The crane cloak wrapped around her body looked a bit chubby.

The princess smiled and introduced to Daiyu: "This is Princess Nan'an."

Daiyu said a blessing.The princess said to Princess Nanan again: "This is my new sister."

As soon as the concubine's voice fell, Daiyu was stunned, how could she dare to recognize her as a sister with the majestic princess of the county, she was in a hurry to argue.The concubine dragged her to meet another noble lady, and saw that she was wearing many gold and silver headdresses, which were shining and luxurious.The princess smiled and said, "This is the wife of Duke Qi."

Daiyu hurriedly saw the ceremony, and his wife hurriedly got up and went back.

There are still many princesses left and it is too late to introduce them one by one. Princess Nan'an glanced at the people in the room and asked Princess Beijing: "Why didn't you invite Princess Yongchang?"

Princess Bei Jing hurriedly said: "Why didn't you invite me? I just heard that the princess is sick and can't come. I sent my mother-in-law to condolences." He was busy greeting them again.

Someone inside recognized Lin Daiyu, pointed at her and asked Princess Beijing: "I met this girl in Rongguo Mansion, and I recognize all the girls from their Jia family."

When Daiyu heard this, she hurriedly looked back, and it turned out that the person who said this was ordered by Uncle Linchang. He met Daiyu in the Rongguo Mansion that day, so she still remembers it to this day.

Daiyu was startled, she had no impression of this person at all.

It was Princess Nan'an who said: "This is Mrs. Chen from Linchang Bo's family."

Daiyu had only seen her before, but still had no impression of her.I heard Mrs. Chen from Linchang Bo's family ask the princess: "Why don't you see people from Jinxiang Bo's family?"

It turned out that Uncle Jinxiang was originally the natal family of the princess, so he had no choice but to answer: "My mother said she was not feeling well, so she didn't want to come. My sister-in-law is busy with housework, and my second brother and the others are working abroad, and haven't returned to Beijing yet."

Hearing what the princess said, no one asked any more.The concubine greeted from inside and outside, there was already a card table sitting around here, and those who didn't want to play went to the garden to enjoy the flowers.

Daiyu has a quiet temper and is unwilling to join in. Suddenly she felt that the beauty sitting on the low stool next to the door was somewhat familiar, so she couldn't help but take a closer look.I saw that person kept his head buried and didn't talk to anyone, the most withdrawn and indifferent.

Daiyu hurriedly asked the maid in front of her, "Which family is that woman?"

The servant girl thought for a while and replied, "It seems to belong to General Sun's family?"

Daiyu asked again: "The general Sun?"

"I heard it's called Sun Shaozu."

When Daiyu heard the name, she suddenly understood, and saw that no one greeted her.Feeling uncomfortable in my heart, I stepped forward and called out: "Second Sister!"

Yingchun hurriedly raised her head, unexpectedly seeing Daiyu, she almost couldn't believe her eyes, and hurriedly rubbed it again.I quickly got up and looked at her carefully a few times before I recognized her: "It's sister Lin, why are you here?"

Daiyu said: "I was invited by the princess." Seeing that Yingchun's appearance has changed a lot, she still has the demeanor of the past with her cheeks coagulated with fresh litchi and her nose greasy with goose fat.The originally radiant and clear eyes were sunken at this moment, and they felt hollow and dull, and his complexion was slightly sallow.I also saw that there were several decent hairpins on her head.The clothes are still new, and the material is not bad.It's just that Daiyu couldn't help feeling sad after seeing this scene, so she hurriedly dragged Yingchun to talk elsewhere.

The two came to the porch and sat down facing each other.Daiyu said: "I haven't thought that I can see the sisters in the Grand View Garden here today, the second sister. Are you living well?"

Yingchun had a sad face on her face, but she didn't dare to cry when she was among the guests, so she just said: "If you can live or not, that's it. I've told someone, but if I say one more thing that he doesn't like, he will call me an idiot." The Jia family gave it to him, and he would beat and scold him if something went wrong. Among the four girls I brought, which one would he let go? No matter what kind of woman she drags into the house, Sister Lin, what do you think these days How are you doing?"

Seeing that Yingchun's tears were coming out, Daiyu hurriedly took a silk cloth and wiped them for her.When Yingchun raised her hand, she never wanted to show a part of her arm. Daiyu clearly saw the bruises and scars on her arm, which were very eye-catching.

Daiyu hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked, "He made these, right?"

Yingchun nodded, just shed tears and didn't speak.Daiyu was quite upset about welcoming the spring, thinking how such a gentle and amiable person as the second sister could have suffered like this. She was bullied by the maid in the house when she was in the Grand View Garden in the past, and how she can escape now that she is in the wolf room.

Yingchun cried to Daiyu with snot and tears, but Daiyu felt sad but she didn't cry much, so she had to say a few words to comfort her.

Not long after, the Sun family's mother-in-law came and said to Yingchun, "I told you to go back quickly, saying that you are looking for something. Everyone can't find it."

Yingchun got up and said: "I don't know what he put in." But she didn't dare to delay to explain to Wang Hao and hurried back.

Daiyu looked at Yingchun's thin and frail figure, thinking that this is the chance of life.The second elder sister has a natal family and has ended up being so ruined by others. Thinking about her own orphan, it seems that she can't escape the arrangement of fate.

Feeling melancholy for a moment, thinking that the second sister is cowardly in nature, thinking that she can always decide everything when she goes out.Where is such an unbearable thing spread out, maybe this is the doom of the second sister's life.
