Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Shui Rong stays at home and never goes out to socialize, but Yu Wang Shiying came to Shui Rong to play chess once.Shiying used to be in charge of the official department, but since the new emperor came to the throne, Shiying has gradually ignored this matter, with nothing to do all day long, and has become an idle prince.

Shui Rong talked with Shi Ying: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has purchased several hundred acres of land in the suburbs outside Xuande Gate."

While thinking about the chess piece in his hand, Shiying said to Shui Rong: "I can't help it, I have to think about it for my family. I can still buy it now, no matter how expensive it is. Guess how much money I spent?"

Shui Rong calculated quickly, muttering: "Although the land around Qijiapo is not the best land, the terrain is flat, and it is convenient to take care of it all in one place. I guess it will cost two or three hundred taels of silver."

Shiying laughed loudly: "I only spent 170 taels, plus two pennies, to buy [-] mu of land. This business can be done."

When Shui Rong heard this number, his eyes sparkled, and he hurriedly asked, "Really?"

Shiying laughed and said, "What am I coaxing you to do?"

When Shui Rong looked down, he saw that he was lost, it seemed that his mind was really not on the chessboard in front of him, and listening to Shiying's price list, his mind became active.

Shiying praised the tea from Shui Rongjia again.

Shui Rong said: "I know His Highness loves Tieguanyin, so I prepared it early."

Shiying looked at the tea foam in the tea bowl and said, "Brother is coming back."

Shui Rong's eyes sank: "The late emperor passed away, King Ke should also come back."

Shiying squinted and said, "I'm afraid that elder brother won't be able to hold his breath."

Shui Rong didn't echo what he said, thinking that the fight over the reserve position had been going on for a long time, but fortunately he went to the northwest during this period to temporarily avoid this vortex.However, looking at what happened to King Yu at the moment makes people feel a little sad. After all, he is a brother, and such a smart and capable person as King Yu has been put on hold and has nothing to do all day long.

Shiying said in a low voice: "Of course there are more people who are not convinced. It was the last edict of He Nianxuan at the beginning, but now that He Nian is gone, go to someone to confront. If there is nothing wrong with it, there is no need to do so."

Shui Rong's body trembled slightly, so he had no choice but to say to Shiying: "His Royal Highness Seventh is free now, enjoy life well, and don't worry about it."

Shiying laughed and said: "Bei Wang's words are reasonable, and I think so too. Why don't Bei Wang also go to Qijiapo to buy some land."

Shui Rong said: "Such a small amount of rent is not worth a lot of money."

Shiying said: "I want to build a garden. I can't stay in the palace in the future. There is always a way out. The mansion I live in now was bestowed by Huang Kao, so I have to guard against it in the future. If the king of the north also passes by, maybe We can still be neighbors in the future, and I can come to play chess with King Bei every day."

Shui Rong said on the one hand: "Why does His Royal Highness Seventh make such a plan? The majestic Prince Yu is also a younger brother. Who would make things difficult for His Highness Seventh?" On the other hand, he felt that Shiying's words were reasonable, and his mind became active.After Shiying left, Shui Rong went to Daiyu to discuss the matter.

But Daiyu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, take this idea yourself, why bother to ask me."

Shui Rong said: "When we get old, leave this mansion for the children to live in, and the two of us will move to another courtyard. It won't make people dislike us."

Daiyu always ignored him, and only asked one more question: "If you really want to buy land, according to what the prince said, it won't cost you much. But if you have to build a garden, it will be another expense. I didn't care about the house before, so naturally I didn't know These expenses in the mansion. Xiyue and I have been discussing these two days, and I still feel that the expenses in the mansion are a bit high, so I need to save a little money."

Shui Rong said with a smile: "Then let's buy the land first, and we'll talk about building the garden later. We need to plan carefully, and it must have the charm of Jiangnan."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at the bronze mirror with her hair, and said to Shui Rong, "Does the lord know what day it is today?"

Shui Rong said: "Today is the sixth day."

Daiyu turned her head and thumped him: "It's still the sixth day, today is the seventh day, why did my lord miss a day? You're going to go to court on the eighth day. Fortunately, I said something more, otherwise the lord will sleep again tomorrow morning." It takes three poles to get up in the sun, isn’t it a missed job.”

Shui Rong suddenly realized that it was already the seventh day of the lunar new year, and the few days at home passed so quickly.He leaned over to Daiyu and said, "Then how about watching the stars together tonight?"

Daiyu said: "Okay. Today's weather is fine, you should be able to see the Milky Way."

Shui Rong casually took a butterfly hairpin from the dowry box and put it on for Dai Yu's hairpin.Daiyu turned her head and smiled, Shui Rong hugged her from behind and said, "If one day, I can't give you glory, wealth and wealth, you can't afford good food and clothing, you follow me, have you ever regretted it?"

Daiyu frowned and said, "How do you say this in a decent way?"

Shui Rong said: "Let me just say it casually, what do you think?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "What else can I do? When I refused to go back to Beijing with you, you immediately carried out the late emperor's will. Do you think I still have a chance to regret it?"

Shui Rong kissed her earlobe.

After dinner.

The two walked slowly in the back garden hand in hand, there was no maidservant holding a lantern in front of them, only two of them holding hands.When we arrived at the Hechi area, we were not far from Wangyuexuan.The two sat down on the railing in the corridor.

Suddenly there were two cries of frogs in the lotus pond, Daiyu was startled, and quickly got into Shui Rong's arms.

Shui Rong smiled and patted her on the back: "You're afraid of frogs, you're really timid."

Daiyu smiled and pushed Shui Rong away: "I yelled suddenly, I didn't hear what it was."

When the two looked up at the night sky, there was indeed a wide river of stars hanging in the indigo sky like a jade belt.Daiyu looked at the dotted stars, and suddenly said: "The two brightest stars on the other side of the Milky Way look so close to each other, I didn't expect to have to wait for a year to meet."

Shui Rong said: "Maybe we look close, but we are actually very far away. Maybe it's the same as when we look at a map, looking at two cities that are very close to each other, but separated by hundreds of miles."

Daiyu nodded: "What you said makes sense."

The distant galaxy, the faint moonlight, the occasional frog calls, and the sparse insects in the grass, this night is so quiet.Shui Rong is very satisfied at the moment, and those troubles in Chaozhong have long been forgotten.He just wants to cuddle up with the beautiful woman beside him.

"Fortunately, we are not the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. We can face each other all day without suffering from lovesickness. Let me tell you a secret."

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "What secret?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "I saw the poem you wrote." Then he chanted again: "The cold moon cages the cold window, and the mandarin duck pillow is lonely."

Daiyu became shy when she heard it, got up and left: "You are not good, what are you doing to peek at what I wrote, just read it, and read it out to make fun of me."

Shui Rong hurriedly followed: "Yu'er has wronged her as a husband, how could a husband have the guts to make fun of your wife?"

Daiyu murmured, "I won't write about such troublesome things in the future."

Shui Rong said behind him: "I know it's because the lady misses me. Don't you know, did Qiangu Acacia kill someone?"

When Daiyu came to the bank of the lotus pond, it was getting darker and darker.The high and low lotus leaves seem to be covered with a thin layer of spun gauze on the surface of the water, which is hazy, just like the water in front of you.She doesn't see much of it.

Shui Rong joked: "Young lady is a rare talented woman. Why don't you compose an impromptu poem in such a dark night, so that you can read it for your husband."

Daiyu said unhappily: "Here it is again, just make fun of me. I'm just an ordinary person, how can I make poems or do anything."

Afraid that Daiyu would fall into the pool, Shui Rong hurriedly pulled her into his arms, protecting her tightly with his arms.

Daiyu blinked at Shui Rong suddenly and said: "Good lord, why don't we go out and set off the river lanterns."

Seeing that it was getting late, Shui Rong hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I don't know if there are any river lanterns to put on."

Daiyu's interest rose, and she pulled Shui Rong reluctantly.

Shui Rong had no choice but to agree.The two hailed a car and headed for the inner city river.

This year, due to the great funeral of the late emperor, all kinds of lantern towers have long since disappeared, and the streets are not as lively as before.But when we got to the Inner City River, we saw little stars floating on the water surface. It turned out that the river lights had not been cancelled.

It was the first time Daiyu saw such a scene, she naturally liked it very much, tightly clasped Shui Rong's wrist, and walked towards the river.There are lamps of different styles floating on the wide water, just like the galaxy in the world, which is really beautiful.

Shui Rong asked her with a smile: "Will Yu'er put one on?"

Daiyu naturally agreed.Shui Rong bought a freshly made lotus-shaped lamp from a stall under the willow tree, and the weak candle flame swayed in the wind.Daiyu took it, held it carefully, and walked down the steps slowly, first made a wish on the lamp, and then gently placed it on the water.

The small river lantern slowly joined the other river lanterns along with the water waves, and after a while, Daiyu couldn't recognize which one she put on by herself.

The gusts of cool wind have taken away a lot of the heat of the day, but there are a lot of mosquitoes by the water.As more and more people came to put the lanterns on, Shui Rong was afraid that Daiyu would be squeezed and that she would fall into the water, so he dragged her back.When going up the stairs, Daiyu accidentally sprained her ankle, but she didn't cry out in pain.

After making another circle, Daiyu's pace became slower and slower, and when she reached a place where there were few people, Shui Rong squatted in front of Daiyu, and said to her, "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Seeing people coming and going, Daiyu had the nerve to let Shui Rong carry her on her back, but felt awkward and said, "It's okay, I can go."

Shui Rong forcibly carried her on his back.Daiyu was afraid that people would recognize her, so she quickly buried her face tightly on Shui Rong's back.

Shui Rong smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? What if I carry my own wife on my back. I walked a lot tonight, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk."

Although sprained, it's not impossible to persevere.However, his back was indeed very comfortable, and a faint fragrance of incense wafted from his clothes.After walking not far, Daiyu was afraid that he would be tired again, so she said she would come down again.

Shui Rong said: "You're the only one who weighs, so it's fine."

At this moment, Daiyu felt boundless attachment to the man who was carrying her, thinking that no matter how difficult the moment was, he would always be by her side, without him, she would not know what to do.For a moment of tenderness, she gently kissed the neck in front of her eyes.With her body on her back trembling slightly, Daiyu said softly, "Thank you, Congshan. Thank you for always being by my side."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "What can I say to thank you old couples?"

Daiyu felt very comfortable lying on his back, and suddenly saw stars floating in the woods along the river bank at this moment, not like river lanterns in the water, and she did not have hallucinations.Groups of those bright spots flashed and flashed, and some of them disappeared into the bushes in an instant, pointing to them and asking: "What is that shining?"

Shui Rong took a look and said with a smile, "Don't you even know about fireflies?"

"So this is the firefly." Daiyu murmured to herself.The river of stars in the sky, the river lanterns in the water, and the flying fireflies suddenly formed a dazzling world. Whether it is the river lanterns or the fireflies, they are all stars falling in the mortal world.
