Since Xiangyun left, Daiyu has been sitting by the window without moving.Until the water dissolves back, the lamp has been held at this time.

At night, Daiyu said to Shui Rong again: "I'm going out the next day. It's the anniversary of the death of the second daughter of Jia's family. I made an appointment to go to her grave to burn incense and pay homage. I didn't go when she passed away. Condolences, it happened that sister Shi came to ask me out."

Shui Rong heard it and said: "It's the right thing, I won't stop you, go. Be careful on the way, I'll ask Meng Yi to take you there."

Daiyu said: "Meng Changshi has a lot of things to do, so don't bother him with such trivial things. If you have some important things to send him, wouldn't you miss you?"

Shui Rong thought about it for a while and said: "You sisters have to have someone by your side when you go out. I'll let some guards in the mansion go over and send Shun'er to you. Meng Yi may leave Beijing in the future. Go back early."

Daiyu agreed, "Okay, then it's settled."

Another day passed, and it was a fine and crisp autumn weather. I waited and waited until Xiangyun came at the end of the day.

"Sister Lin, I'm really sorry. Something happened at home. Sister Lin, let's go now."

Daiyu took Tongyun with her, and boarded the car with Xiangyun.Sitting in the car, Xiangyun lifted the curtain to look out, and praised: "The weather today is really good. The sky is so blue that it is dazzling, and the leaves are gradually turning yellow. Autumn is so nice."

Daiyu then made fun of her: "You have seen a lot of things in the world, why are you so happy?"

Xiangyun said: "Sister Lin rarely comes out to breathe, don't you like it?"

But Daiyu only smiled lightly, the autumns in the past were hard for her, she was prone to illness, even the whole winter was hard to recover, but fortunately she is a little stronger now, so she won't fall down when the wind blows.I also saw that Xiangyun's attire is very elegant today, a short jacket with moon white silk and butterflies, and a narrow skirt with stone blue makeup and flower satin. There is no skirt underneath, and only plain white silk trousers are slightly exposed.

Seeing this, Daiyu smiled and said, "You still like to dress up like a boy, it's a bit more posture than you wear a woman's attire."

When Xiangyun heard it, he liked it in his heart: "I just think it's convenient. When I lived in Jia's house, I even wore Baoyu's clothes. I didn't expect to fool the old lady."

Daiyu was a little sad. The old lady had gone, but Baoyu didn't know where she was.

The car was driving on the wide and narrow dirt road, and passed a birch forest. The mottled bark looked like a pair of opened human eyes. Xiangyun deliberately fooled Daiyu: "Sister Lin, look, there is something in the woods. There are ghosts."

Daiyu was always afraid of these things, so she tugged on Xiangyun's sleeve and said, "Don't say these things to trick me."

Xiangyun pointed to those tree trunks and said to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, look quickly, don't those look like eyes?"

Daiyu took a closer look, and there was a bit of resemblance, she suddenly felt scared, and hurriedly walked away, not to look at those birch forests.

Xiangyun said: "I have never been afraid of these gods and ghosts. When my husband passed away, I was not afraid of accompanying the spirit every night. When his coffin was transported back to the south, I would go to his grave." I stayed overnight. Looking at it now, I don’t even know how I got here that night.”

Daiyu said, "You are still bold."

Xiangyun smiled wryly and said: "It's nothing to do. At the beginning, the brothers were arguing to separate the family, and they had a lot of trouble. They just bullied our house, but they really made it hard for them, so they went to his grave. I sat upright all night. It is also because of this that my father-in-law saw that I can keep the festival for my deceased husband, so he gave me the several hundred acres of land, or go to drink the northwest wind now?"

The two talked all the way, until they reached the foot of Mount Mang. The sisters got out of the car, and Cui Ling and Tong Yun rushed to help them.Xiangyun dragged Daiyu to search one by one, went up another hillside, went down another hillside, and finally saw a group of neat grave mounds halfway up the hillside.Finally, they found a piece, which was written as the deceased wife of Sunmen Jia.There is still a pile of ashes beside it, it seems that people from the Sun family have come to worship.

Daiyu and Xiangyun asked people to visit the sacrifices they had brought, and Xiangyun took out another sacrificial oration, read it in front of the grave, lit it, and burned it in front of the tombstone.

Next, the two knelt in front of the grave and prayed: "Second sister's life is really pitiful and deplorable. When she was only living in the Grand View Garden, the sisters talked and laughed with each other, but they lived a few years of peace of mind. Married for Wife, but she is so scattered."

Daiyu burst into tears, and said to Xiangyun: "It is said that the second sister is too cowardly, and in the end she was tortured to death by the Sun family. But she is so weak, how can she resist?"

Xiangyun said: "I only hope that my sister can join a good family in the next life, rather than being rich like this, and living a peaceful life is enough."

Daiyu said to Xiangyun again: "No matter what happens in Second Sister's life, we will always remember her."

Xiang Yun nodded, and said lightly: "Yes."

The two watched Cuilu and Tongyun help burn paper money, Daiyu couldn't bear the smoke, coughed violently for a while, Xiangyun patted her back.

Shun'er didn't know who it was offering sacrifices to, but she also came over and kowtowed, and seeing that it was getting late, she urged: "Princess, let's go back. I'm afraid this journey will be difficult."

Daiyu and Xiangyun stood and looked at Yingchun's tomb for a while, because after leaving, they don't know when they will be able to visit her again.Just when she was packing up her things and was about to leave, Daiyu suddenly found a string of jasmine flowers hanging on the grave. The jasmine flowers on the string were still very bright. It seemed that the sender had just left.

Xiangyun curiously took it over, sniffed it, and found that the fragrance was still there, and turned to Daiyu, "Sister Lin, it seems that the Sun family still knows what's good." Seeing that Daiyu's face changed drastically, Xiangyun hurriedly asked: "Sister Lin, what's the matter?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Baoyu put these flowers on."

"You said it was Brother Bao?" Xiangyun was puzzled, and looked around again, but Baoyu was nowhere to be seen. He hurriedly asked, "He has been missing for several days, why did he appear suddenly? How could it be Brother Bao?" ?”

Daiyu looked around anxiously: "Second sister likes stringing jasmine flowers. Baoyu told me about it. Who would it be if it wasn't him? He must not have gone very far."

Xiangyun then said: "Then let's go and look for him separately, maybe we can find him. My wife and sister Bao are already in a hurry." Several people separated to look for him.

But Daiyu was very disturbed, wondering where he had been hiding these days, did he even leave home?If I really saw him, what could I say, would I persuade him to go back? It seemed that I couldn't say it, Baoyu's thoughts were best understood by her.He always chooses to escape when he is forced to have no choice. As long as he is still alive, everything is enough.Daiyu couldn't help regretting that they shouldn't have been separated to find them. Baoyu hid and refused to see them, so she must not want to go back.

The voices calling Baoyu's name came one after another, and Daiyu was also slowly looking for it. At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed her hand. Daiyu looked back in panic, and she saw a man standing in front of her. Who is it?The two looked at each other.Daiyu quickly pulled out her hand, lowered her head slightly and said, "It really is you."

Baoyu called out, "Sister Lin!"

Daiyu raised her tearful eyes and looked at him. She had been wandering outside for more than ten days, and she didn't know how he lived these days. She was haggard, dressed in coarse clothes, and there was no trace of a nobleman. They came out, and this situation made Daiyu's nose sore, and tears fell down: "Where are you going these days, I don't know how worried your family is, are they all looking for you?"

Baoyu asked in a daze, "Sister Lin also wants me to go back?"

Daiyu turned her face away, and scolded: "You are going to die, you can ask this question? How can I care about you?"

Baoyu said again: "My younger sister understands what I think most, but I have no choice but to leave this time. Master, he..."

Daiyu stopped him: "Stop talking, I know everything. I won't persuade you to go back, no matter where you are, it's the greatest good fortune for you to live well." Looking around again, she hurried to chase Baoyu away Zuo: "Go quickly, if they come back to see you, if they persuade you not to listen, they might tie you back."

Seeing her anxious look, Baoyu was overjoyed, and wanted to hold her hand and let her leave with him, but then he thought again, now that her identity is different, how can she leave?Even if he followed himself, he would suffer, so he never had the heart, so he hardened his heart and said: "Sister Lin, live a good life, don't live like this." Then he bowed deeply to Daiyu.

Those who went to look for Baoyu separately came back one after another. When Daiyu went back to look at Baoyu, he was nowhere to be seen.

Xiangyun came panting and said to Daiyu: "We have searched all over, but there is still no sign of Brother Ai, either he has never been here, or he has already left. Sister Lin, we have to go back, if we delay any longer, I'm afraid I'll be in the dark."

"Let him go."

A group of people went down the mountain.Baoyu looked at them from afar.The piece of psychic jade from that year has long since disappeared from his neck, and the sisters are married to death.So what if his career in this life is in vain, and it will turn into a cloud of smoke together with the world, that is, a lifetime.

He went back to Yingchun's tomb again, straightened the grass on the grave for her, shed two lines of tears, and choked up, saying: "Of the four sisters in the family, only the second sister's life is the most miserable. kind of relief."

In the empty valley, birdsong occasionally came.The setting sun gradually set in the west border, dyeing the clouds in the sky with a brilliant glow.As the breeze passed by, I saw those yellow leaves falling one after another.This is a peaceful world, this is the place where Yingchun sleeps forever.

Although buried in the Sun family's cemetery, Yingchun should also like it here, because it is a picturesque place and a peaceful place.

Baoyu took another look at the inscription on the tombstone, "Sunmen Jia's dead wife." In a few decades, a hundred years, who will remember the name of the woman buried here, and who will remember her?
