Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

The Mid-Autumn Festival was over like this, and later Xiyue and Daiyu checked the gift list and saw Zijuan's name on the list.

Daiyu hurriedly asked Xiyue: "Why didn't you see Zicuckoo come into the house? Who sent the things?"

Xiyue smiled and said: "I don't remember very well, it seems that her brother sent it, and I didn't see Miss Zijuan."

Daiyu nodded and said to Xiyue: "Now that she has a home, she is naturally busy. I am too embarrassed to let her come and walk around. It doesn't matter if she is a small family, and she lives in a decent way." Let Xiyue prepare to return the gift, and send a woman to Cai's house.

Daiyu discussed with Xiyue again: "Can you distribute all the rewards under the festival?"

Xiyue said: "It's all sent out, and they also said that they will come to kowtow to the princess."

Daiyu smiled: "It's what they deserve, don't kowtow, I can't bear it either."

Xiyue smiled and said: "I know that the concubine does not accept this set of vain etiquette, so I told them to avoid it, and I will do everything with my heart in the future."

Daiyu said, "You still know what I'm thinking."

Daiyu looked at the sky outside, there was a little sunshine and the wind was still blowing, so she ordered Han Yan: "You guys should also clean up those furry clothes, take them out to dry, and don't pass them on. There was no time to take care of it.”

Han Yan responded, and went to search for woolen clothes to wear in the cold weather with the other girls.

Daiyu sat in front of the case and continued to read her post, only let Tongyun serve beside her.Another woman in charge came back to talk, and Daiyu asked Xiyue to deal with it.

Facing the words, Daiyu thought, Xiyue is not young, has she never thought about going out of the palace?Going out to marry someone else is better than being a girl here.She is smart, capable, and loyal.If it is another housewife, I will persuade my husband to accept such a person as a housemate, and I will also have more helpers.But Daiyu couldn't say such a thing, Shui Rong told her in person that there would be no third person between them, and Daiyu didn't want another woman to share her husband.Even if she bears the name of a jealous woman, Daiyu doesn't care.But thinking of Xiyue's life experience, her parents sold her in when they had no choice but to redeem her.

Then again, Daiyu couldn't be away from her now, if it wasn't for Xiyue's help, she wouldn't know how busy she would be, how could she have such leisure now.

Lu Ling came in with a plate of dim sum and said, "Mother He made a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers this year, they are really delicious."

Daiyu glanced at it and said with a smile, "I'm not hungry either, you can take it and eat."

Mother Guan picked up the curtain and came in to answer: "Back to the princess, there is a grandma named Shi who is outside the Chuhua Gate. Will the princess announce her entry?"

As soon as Daiyu heard that her surname was Shi, she hurriedly put down her pen and said, "Bring people in quickly." She didn't wear the clothes of the stranger, she just brushed her hair.I couldn't wait to go out to greet him, and when I got to the hallway, I saw Guan's mother leading Xiangyun, followed by her wi'er.

When the sisters met, they were quite emotional.Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xiangyun's body who was about to bow down. Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister Yun is finally here, but let me wait at home. I thought that Sister Yun had never forgotten."

Xiang Yun said with a smile: "I'm bored at home. Now that I've moved to a new place, it's been a while since there's been a quiet day, and there's a festival, so I'm free today. Come here to greet the princess."

Daiyu hurriedly welcomed Xiangyun into the main hall.Xiangyun looked around, and then praised, "This house is so beautiful, no wonder the princess lives there."

Daiyu offered a cup of tea, and said modestly, "Sister Yun has also been to Nan'an Palace, how does their house compare to this one?"

Xiang Yun nodded and said, "If you say it's rich and prosperous, this side is naturally a little worse, but in terms of elegance, it's not as good as this side."

Xiangyun asked Cuilu to bring the box again, Xiangyun was a little embarrassed: "I couldn't bring out any good things, I prepared two-color snacks, and brought them to Sister Lin to try."

Daiyu took a look and ordered someone to collect it.Then let Tong Yun lead Cui Ling down to rest, and greeted him nicely.Here and Xiangyun talk about family life.

Xiang Yun said with a smile: "I rented a few rooms in Dongsi Tiao Hutong, and now I feel at ease away from my aunt's house. It saves my aunt from saying that I was wasting my time at home."

Daiyu knew that she was suffering, although she didn't say it clearly, but seeing her smile so sincerely, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, thinking that no matter how unfavorable the situation was, how unsatisfactory the surroundings were, Sister Yun could always smile, This is really valuable.Daiyu was worried about Xiangyun's life again, so she asked her, "How many people are there in the family?"

Xiangyun said: "I have a wisp, and a little girl who doesn't usually go out with me. In addition, there is my companion room, a couple. My aunt pointed it out to me. They are very good couples. OK."

Daiyu said: "There is a man, it is convenient for him to go outside."

Xiang Yun said: "That's right, this time it's thanks to their husband and wife for helping me find a house."

Daiyu also thought about the few members of their family, and now they have no livelihood, how should they live.Then he asked: "Sister Yun, how is she living now? After all, the family doesn't have a pillar."

Xiangyun smiled and said: "I thought that a person like Sister Lin could only write poems and play the piano, and didn't ask about firewood, rice, oil and salt. It seems that when I become this princess, I have to ask about everything. In the past, it was you and Baoyu..." Xiangyun quickly stopped talking about Baoyu's name, and his smile gradually dimmed, and then he talked about his own affairs: "Since her husband died of illness, the Wei family has not left anything, and there are still a few rooms next to it waiting to be divided." The old man saw that I was going to live alone, so he gave me [-] mu of land on the side of the Yang Family Bridge outside the west gate, so we must not be able to count on being rich, so let’s try to get by.”

Daiyu nodded, seeing that she also refused to talk about her suffering, so she couldn't ask further questions.

Later, the topic shifted to Baoyu, and Xiangyun said, "But, why didn't Brother Bao disappear? People from Rongfu even came to my aunt's house to find someone, saying that Brother Bao disappeared after the first exam. Human shadow, I haven't heard from him these days. Sister Lin, tell me, he's such a good person, how can you say that he will disappear if you don't see him."

Daiyu sighed: "He just wants to hide from everyone. If he has this intention, I'm afraid no one will find him."

Xiangyun said: "Brother Bao is still because of the deep resentment in his heart. Sister Bao is such a powerful person. After following Brother Bao for these years, she has never persuaded him to come back. Before, let's talk a little bit about economic career. If it is up to him, he will immediately slap his face and leave. Now if he is asked to take an examination for fame, I am afraid that he will really be roasted on the fire."

But Daiyu said: "Maybe we are all wrong. Baoyu sees farther and deeper than us."

Xiangyun laughed and said: "In the past, you and Brother Ai were good friends, and everyone in the house said that you were a couple. Unexpectedly, Sister Lin entered the palace later, Brother Ai married Sister Bao, and Sister Lin is now the princess again. The things in this world are really hard to say. If Sister Lin is willing to persuade Brother Ai, I'm afraid he will still listen. "

Daiyu said sternly, "What's the point of saying that now, sister Yun, please stop."

Xiangyun glanced at Daiyu, seeing that she was slightly displeased, so it was not good to continue, she has also seen a lot of wind and rain in these years, and experienced so many joys and sorrows, she is much more stable than before.She always said that her childhood was rough, her parents died early, and later she married into the Wei family. Her husband treated her well, and she always thought that all the bad things in her childhood would be returned. Unexpectedly, the good days were too short. After her husband left, She was a widow at a young age.But he didn't leave a posthumous child, otherwise he could be like Mrs. Zhu.Forget it, being alone is also a kind of freedom.If you don't be bound by the love of these children, maybe you will have a better life in the future.

Daiyu said again: "It's good for Sister Yun to settle down in Beijing, and we can keep in touch in the future. When I have free time someday, let Sister-in-law Zhu, Sister Bao, and Fourth Sister come over for a gathering."

Xiangyun hurriedly asked, "Don't sister Lin know?"

"what?"

Xiangyun said: "Sister Xichun left home a long time ago. People in the Rong Mansion said that she had gone out to become a monk, but after searching all the nunneries in Beijing, there was no sign of Sister Xichun. But give Sister-in-law Zhen from the East Mansion to her." I was so angry that I got sick all over again, this must have happened at the end of last month."

Daiyu said in astonishment: "I really haven't heard anyone mention it. I only know that Baoyu is lost. I didn't know that sister Xichun also left home. How can this go on like this?"

But Xiangyun said: "Sister Xichun has been thinking about becoming a monk for a day or two. Such a big incident happened in the East Mansion. Sister Xichun probably left home because she was afraid that she would be implicated. Sister Lin, think about Sister Xichun's normal life. I have only been in contact with Miaoyu here, but we don’t talk much. I wonder how she, a weak woman, will live when she leaves home, which nunnery she must have gone to.” Xiang Yun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked Daiyu: "Sister Lin, when you say you love brother, is he looking for sister Xichun?"

Daiyu was stunned, and shook her head: "I can't say that, but I don't think Baoyu will escape into Buddhism. Can he really abandon all this cruelly?"

Xiangyun said: "I can't figure out who loves my brother, but I don't want to love my brother to go on such a path. Then let Sister Bao not be a widow for a lifetime, that would be too unfeeling."

The two sisters talked about the Jia family for a long time, but Daiyu never mentioned anything to the people around her on weekdays. Brings back many past events.

When Xiangyun left, he said to Daiyu again: "The day after tomorrow is sister Yingchun's death day, let's go to her tomb to pay homage, okay?"

Daiyu agreed immediately: "Okay, I will definitely go. But I don't know where she is buried, and I don't want to ask the Sun family, so I have to find someone to ask Sister Yun to come to the mansion in the future. Let's go there together." .”

Xiangyun readily agreed, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, you don't have to worry about this, I know where the cemetery of Sister Ai is."
