Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

I slept soundly last night, so I woke up in good spirits.Daiyu and Tongyun said: "Thanks to you rubbing my head for so long last night, I can sleep well at night."

Tong Yun liked it when she heard it: "That's because the prince is back and the princess is at ease, so she naturally sleeps well. If you sleep well, naturally you won't have a headache anymore."

Xiyue smiled and said: "That makes sense." She put the ledger in front of Daiyu, which densely recorded all the expenses of the mansion and the distribution of goods.Daiyu also only took a cursory glance, feeling tired, so she said to Xiyue, "Take it and compare it carefully."

Then the housekeeper came back to talk.Although Daiyu has now taken over the management of the house, she will take care of it for the time being. She will let Xiyue take care of the general daily affairs, and occasionally come up with an idea when something important happens.The rest just asked one more question when they came to the front.She is at ease about Xiyue, after all, she has been loyal to Shui Rong for so many years, she can write and calculate, and she understands the rules of the mansion, which relieves Daiyu a lot of worries.

At about the same time, Mother Guan came in and said Mrs. Wang was here.Daiyu had expected a little bit, thinking that it must be because of her uncle's business.She didn't change the clothes of outsiders, she only wore old clothes, and asked Mrs. Wang to be invited to the yard here.

Daiyu sat upright in the main hall, Hanyan and Tongyun stood below to serve, after a while Luling led Mrs. Wang over, Daiyu got up quickly, wanting to see the family ceremony, Mrs. Wang supported her with both hands until Call: "What is the princess doing?"

Daiyu saw that Mrs. Wang came alone without Baochai, so she asked, "Why didn't sister-in-law come with you?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Your second sister-in-law has gone to Shuiyue Nunnery to offer incense."

Daiyu asked with a smile: "Could it be that elder sister Bao is now eating fast and praying to Buddha with her aunt?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head slightly, with a bitter expression on her face, she had no choice but to say: "No matter how many doctor's medicines I have taken, it still doesn't work. I see her suffering all day long at home, so let her go to Shuiyue Nunnery to make a wish, maybe it won't work." There is hope."

Daiyu hurriedly asked: "Is the second sister-in-law suffering from some kind of illness? Why hasn't anyone mentioned it before. Is it serious?"

Mrs. Wang sighed: "It's not a disease. She and Baoyu have been married for several years, and there has been no news in her belly. It's not worrying."

Hearing this, it turned out that it was for this reason, so Daiyu naturally didn't want to continue asking.

Mrs. Wang continued to say, "I sent a few girls to Baoyu's room. Who would have thought that his temper has changed a lot over the years, and he doesn't like to hang out with girls anymore. Even Xiren's place is full of disputes." .”

Daiyu lowered her eyebrows and said, "Is that bad? Uncle and aunt must be happy too."

Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly and said: "If he wants to change it, it would be great if he changed it all. He will be admitted in one month. I heard that he has done his homework at random, which is not very good. The master has been away for a few months. These few During the month, I asked Bao girl to supervise him every day. I don’t know how many levels he has learned, I’m afraid most of them are still neglected. Now there is such a son in front of me, if he doesn’t live up to it, who do you want me to rely on.”

Seeing her aunt with a bitter face, Daiyu didn't want to persuade her much, she just said: "Everyone has his own fate, and the second elder brother is very talented, so maybe it's just a penny when he comes to you. Auntie doesn't need to be too much. Worry."

Mrs. Wang sighed a long time: "It's unfortunate for the family. The young ones don't worry about it, and the old ones don't worry about it either. Look at my hair, how many black hairs are left. The East Mansion has been ginsenged again. I don't know what the trouble will be. I think that the master is still in office, and he can take care of the family no matter what. I never thought that the new master is not easy to serve, and he is always picky. I don't know if there is a possibility of recovery after this resignation. If Baoyu fights, it will be fine Forget it, but I have raised such a son again." As she spoke, she burst into tears.

Daiyu comforted her and said: "Auntie, don't worry too much. The prince just came back yesterday evening. He also told me about uncle. If there is something strange in the middle, we will know when we find out."

Mrs. Wang's eyes sparkled, she took Daiyu's hand and asked hastily: "According to my niece, is there any hope for your uncle to be reinstated?"

Daiyu shook her head: "I am a woman, how can I be sure about the matter in the court. Besides, it depends on the emperor's wishes. After all, the matter is so important that uncle should bear some responsibility."

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a silk cloth, and said to Daiyu: "Today, I put down my old face, and I just came here to ask Lord Bei to help your uncle. If such a big thing happened, who should we rely on? This is my in-laws, and It's flesh and blood, girl, don't stand on the sidelines, at least tell the prince about your uncle, all hope is here."

Daiyu comforted her, "Seeing what my aunt said, she knows it. Now our prince is also involved in it. I don't know what will happen next. If you can't protect yourself, how dare you mention uncle's matter."

Mrs. Wang lamented repeatedly: "Now our family has also fallen. Since the change of dynasty, our Wang family has no one in the court, and the elder brother has dismissed his post again. Now he is still in prison, and it is even more unreliable. Come on. Xue’s family is a royal comprador. They haven’t gotten anything to do in recent years. Pan’er only knows how to squander. Your aunt can’t manage it now. The house was confiscated, and now there is no improvement at all. Our Jia family is left, and now we are still holding on to an empty shelf, and maybe one day, we will collapse if we talk about it."

Daiyu understood Mrs. Wang's thoughts, lowered her head and stroked the beautiful lotus flowers on the tea bowl, thinking of the once prosperous Grand View Garden, but now it is also abandoned. It was built with so much manpower and financial resources to welcome the concubine Yuan to visit her relatives. A garden has not flourished for a few years after all.She had witnessed all the beauty and decay of that garden.Most of the sisters in the garden are now scattered.

After socializing for a long time, Daiyu stayed with Mrs. Wang for lunch, and Mrs. Wang said goodbye.

After Mrs. Wang left, Daiyu took a nap, and then stayed in Wangyunzhai without going out, only Chunliu was waiting in front of her.Daiyu took a qin score and studied it for most of the day, and also took the Fuxiqin hanging in the study, and stroked it for a long time, finally (Liezi Yufeng) was able to achieve something.

Seeing beads of sweat on Daiyu's forehead, Chunliu hurriedly brought a cup of tea to dry, and said, "Princess, you have worked hard, let's drink some tea to quench your thirst." Then he said: "It seems that playing the piano is also a hard work Woolen cloth."

Daiyu took a sip of tea, and said to Chunliu, "It's hard work to talk about fingering and calm your mind." She smiled and asked, "Did the prince like to sit here and play the piano before?"

Chunliu shook her head: "Most of the princes like to stay here to read books, or to be with the princess..." After glancing at Daiyu, she hastily corrected her: "When I had a fight with the previous princess, I always sat quietly I read here, and I never let anyone come to serve me. When the prince is upset, he has a big temper. If he makes any mistakes in front of him, he will be scolded sharply. The princess just didn't see it. "

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "He looks like a gentle person, but it turns out that everyone has a temper sometimes."

Chunliu laughed again and said: "But when the concubine enters the mansion, the lord seldom gets angry, and he always smiles at us servants. He even rewarded me with things several times."

Daiyu continued to flip through the piano score until Shui Rong walked over.

"Looked around but couldn't find you, asked them, and they said they didn't know. It turned out to be here." Shui Rong had already changed into homely clothes.He was shaking a folding fan in his hand.

Daiyu stood up slowly, and said with a smile, "I like the tranquility here."

Shui Rong nodded slightly, saw the piano and book in front of him again, glanced at the contents of the book, and knew it was a piano score.Chunliu hurriedly poured tea for Shui Rong, then stooped and retreated.

"What tune are you playing, let me play it too." Shui Rong opened his ears.

Daiyu laughed and said, "It's been a long time since I touched it, so I'm not familiar with it. Don't laugh at it, my lord." As she spoke, she tapped the strings lightly and played a low-pitched one she had just learned (Liezi Yufeng).

At the end of the song, Shui Rong praised: "This song is complex and changeable, but when Yu'er touches it, it doesn't reveal any traces. It's very clever from the beginning to the end."

Daiyu jokingly said: "What's the matter of succession and transformation? It's not poetry." She couldn't help worrying about the matter of water dissolution, and then asked, "Is there any plan for disaster relief?"

Shui Rong frowned slightly, but in order not to worry Daiyu, he said again: "Don't worry, it's fine. I'm the one to deal with the outside world. By the way, I heard people in the room say that my aunt has been here?"

Daiyu nodded and said: "I've been here, now the prince can't take care of himself, and if this matter happens, we will be involved with each other. I really hope that this turmoil will pass quickly. If I don't wait until tomorrow, I will go to the temple to burn incense and make a wish to make the prince safe."

Shui Rong hugged her waist and said, "It's so hot outside and your body is so weak, why don't you take care of her at home with peace of mind?"

Daiyu's face was full of anger: "It's boring to be at home all day, and I want to go out for a walk. You are always busy, and you don't have much time to accompany me."

Shui Rong chuckled lightly and said, "Who says you don't have time, I will stay with you at home for the rest of the days, and I won't go anywhere."

Daiyu was stunned: "This is serious, don't say it again to coax me."

Shui Rong patted his chest and said, "One word from a man is hard to follow."

Seeing his seriousness, Daiyu smiled: "Could it be that you don't go to court early? There is still a lot of business in the yamen, so I don't believe it."

Shui Rong kissed Daiyu's cheek, and his tone was as low as a spring breeze: "If it's not too hot tomorrow, I'll accompany you to burn incense. Not only to pray for safety, but also for you. Where should I go? Listen The Miaofa Temple in Xishan is not bad. It’s not too far away, and it’s quiet.”

Seeing that he spoke so seriously, Daiyu knew that she was not making herself happy, and said seriously: "Is it possible that the emperor also investigated you and dismissed you from your post, so you have to stay with me at home, isn't it?"

"Look at what you said, being able to be with you is my greatest blessing. Those affairs in the court are chaotic, and many people are intervening. Besides, I have been away for a few months and asked the emperor for a leave. I will rest at home for a few days. so what?"

Seeing that he spoke so calmly, Daiyu knew that things were not that simple, and she also understood that Shui Rong was afraid of her worrying, thinking that it would be good for him to raise him at home for a few days, and he suffered so much outside. Always enjoy the warmth of home.
