Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 184: Concentrating eyebrows in vain

This is the season when hibiscus blooms, and three different colors of red, white and yellow can grow on the same tree.Originally, this is a kind of flower tree that grows in the south. Unexpectedly, someone introduced it in Beijing, and it survived and bloomed, but the flowering period is later than that in the south.It's just that it's not as gorgeous and lush as the south, and it's somewhat thin.

When the wind blew all night, Daiyu wanted to write a poem about hibiscus, but she couldn't come up with a good sentence.

Dun Hui walked over, with a gorgeous red hibiscus pinned on her ear and temples, wearing a red satin skirt with pomegranate red trim and a peach red flowered horse-face skirt.

Daiyu praised, "Today's clothes are very gorgeous."

Dun Hui looked down: "It's not bad, after all, it's clothes to go out, come here to say goodbye to sister-in-law. Is it true that sister-in-law won't go with me?"

Daiyu smiled slightly: "I'm not going, you greet Princess Yongchang for me, and take care along the way."

Dunhui talked to Daiyu a few more words, then boarded the car and went to Princess Yongchang's mansion.

Tong Yun brought over a tea tray filled with lacquered sunflowers, inside which was a thin porcelain cup from a Longquan kiln.Turning around, she saw Daiyu sitting there dozing, and seeing Tongyun coming in, she woke up again, rubbed her eyes, and said apologetically, "I didn't sleep well last night, and now I'm starting to feel sleepy again."

Tong Yun said: "The prince didn't come back at night, the princess didn't sleep well because she was worried about the prince. I just asked the imperial doctor Gan for a prescription, and I made this tea. Please try it, the princess."

Daiyu took off the lid of the light bean gray cup, and saw that it was not the tea she used to drink. There were small white flowers floating in it, and there were long flower shapes, and there was a faint fragrance, so she hurriedly asked: "What's in it?"

Tong Yun said with a smile: "It was originally called Sanhua tea, but Imperial Physician Gan said that the concubine's body was a little cold and could not be used, so she omitted the chrysanthemum and used honeysuckle and jasmine. Try to drink some for the concubine, and she can sleep peacefully."

Daiyu thought that it was rare for Tongyun to bother so much, so she took two sips. The taste was very ordinary, slightly sweet, with a faint fragrance of flowers.Not long after drinking tea, my eyelids felt heavy again, so I put on my clothes and planned to take a nap.

A red-covered eight-person sedan chair entered the palace, and stopped first in the sedan chair hall, and another servant rushed forward to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, and respectfully invited the occupants of the sedan chair.

Shui Rong bent over and came out, and after walking a few steps, he said to the people in front of him: "Go tell the princess to know, and let me prepare some hot water and clean clothes by the way."

The waiter agreed and went.

Shui Rong didn't go straight back to the backyard, but went to the flower hall.

After arriving at the flower hall, Meng Yi came back: "Don't worry, my lord, everyone has been brought back."

Shui Rong nodded, and sure enough, he saw two young men coming in, the one in front was Baoyu who had just come out of the Prison God Temple, wearing a coarse round collar blue robe, unshaven, slightly stooped body, sunken eyes, and a dark yellow complexion .There is no more color like spring flowers, no face like Fu Fen.

Behind him was a man of medium stature who was wearing a straight gown, but seeing his long face, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, he was quite imposing.

Baoyu cupped his hands slightly, but did not answer.

Meng Yi rushed to He Shui Rong again and said, "My lord, this is the Jia Yun I told you about."

Shui Rong looked at her a few more times, Jia Yun was a clever person, and hurriedly kowtowed to salute.

Shui Rong raised his hand and said, "My lord, please get up." He called Liu'er again and said, "Take Baoyu and go wash up."

Liu'er understood, "Second Master Bao, please."

Baoyu went with Liu'er.

Water-soluble and easy to greet Jia Yun, here is a discussion with Meng Yi.

"It's really worked hard for you. Now that people have finally come out, you can rest at home for a few days."

But Meng Yi didn't care much: "Isn't it my duty to run errands for the prince?"

Shui Rong smiled: "I always felt that I was of no help, and I finally rescued Baoyu. I can't do anything about the rest of them. Is King Zhongshun still happy?"

Meng Yi smiled wryly: "If you're straightforward, I'm afraid you won't have to go back and forth for half a month."

Shui Rong nodded, he also had a certain understanding of King Zhongshun's character.

Meng Yi said again: "People have come out, but what will happen in the future?"

Shui Rong said: "Let's take it step by step. As long as a smart person like Baoyu is willing to live with peace of mind, and after going through such a big event, he will be a little more stable than before. After all, there will be a path that suits him. No way. If not, I will come forward to help guide and guide. The officialdom is not suitable for him, so it is better to find a leisurely thing for him to do."

Meng Yiwei thought about it for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "A while ago, didn't you say that there is a palace school that wants to recruit a teacher, why not recommend it to the prince. With Baoyu's literary talents, it should not be a problem to teach a few elementary school students."

Shui Rong didn't sound good: "He hates reading the most, I'm afraid it won't satisfy you."

Meng Yi also said: "It's not about teaching stereotyped essays, it's just about being enlightened. It's not difficult to think about it. Although you can't make a fortune, you can barely earn some silver taels and support your family."

Shui Rong thought about it for a while, and thought it might be a way out, so he smiled and said, "Alright, let's discuss it with him later."

The two discussed again.

Here, Liu'er led Baoyu to the courtyard here, and had already sent a maid to serve him. Liu'er smiled and said, "Second Master Bao, let's stay in this courtyard for a while, the prince has taken care of everything. Bao Er If you need anything, just say it."

A servant girl had come here to serve her long ago. After the water was cooked, Baoyu was asked to take a bath and change clothes.Baoyu was sitting in the bathtub, as long as he closed his eyes, what happened in the past few months would be vividly remembered, and if he thought about it too much, he would feel a splitting headache.

The servant girl changed Baoyu into a new set of clothes, wrung out her hair, put it back together, ate something, and took a nap again.At that time, Jia Yun had already returned.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the scene of Sister Feng's body being dragged out in the wind and snow always popped up in my mind.Xiren is sold, Qiuwen and Bihen don't know where to go, Ping'er and others don't know whereabouts, and there is a musk moon left by his side anyway, but he still can't escape the fate of being sold.Clutching the quilt and crying for a while, I really couldn't sleep.

He put on his clothes and went out of the room.Red walls and green tiles, the courtyard is deep.These magnificent, majestic and majestic buildings are nothing in Baoyu's eyes.He didn't know where he was going, he left the courtyard.

After a short walk, we passed through a building.Baoyu stopped her steps, and saw a woman standing under the hibiscus tree, with light yellow double-breasted feather satin, wearing a Japanese bun, graceful and graceful.The flowers on the tree bloomed equally brilliantly, white and yellow, which seemed a little overblown and sparse.

The two looked at each other for a while, but neither of them took a step forward.For Daiyu, it seems like a lifetime away.She is no longer the Xiaoxiang concubine who sheds tears in the wind and tears in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, nor is he the Jiangdong Flower Master who shouted at the moon in the Yihong Courtyard.The distance between the two is less than a stone's throw away, but the gap in the middle seems to be impossible to cross.

Daiyu only felt a slight heat in her eye sockets, she didn't dare to look at him anymore, she lowered her head slightly.

Baoyu hesitated for a moment, then strode up and took out something from his bosom, but he didn't know what it was, he cherished it so much.He took it out solemnly and grabbed Daiyu's hand.Daiyu didn't know what he was going to do, and wanted to take it back, but he put something in her palm.

Daiyu opened it and saw that it was a bunch of golden tassels, and I don't know where they came from. Daiyu was puzzled and looked at Baoyu.But Baoyu took two steps back, and made two deep bows to Daiyu, just like the scene when they met for the first time in Jiamu's room.

Daiyu blessed her body, and couldn't help it anymore, tears had already flowed down her cheeks.She slightly moistened her chapped lips, and wanted to have a word with Baoyu, but when she looked up, she saw that Baoyu had turned and left.

Daiyu supported the hibiscus tree with one hand, frowned, took a handkerchief and slowly wiped away her tears.Until his figure has passed the corner and can no longer be seen.Daiyu took the string of tassels in her hand and took a closer look. Before she had time to ask him where it was, he had disappeared before her eyes.

The two times they met, they were relatively silent in the end.

Knowing that he has come out, he is living a good life, as if it has nothing to do with me anymore, let's live our lives separately from now on.

Han Yan came over: "It's cold outside, why does the princess come out without wearing more clothes?"

Daiyu helped Hanyan and walked slowly.

Naturally, Han Yan didn't understand what was on Daiyu's mind, so she said to Daiyu, "I heard that the lord has brought people from Jia's family, and it looks like he will stay in our mansion for a few days."

Daiyu was stunned: "He wants to live here?"

Hanyan nodded: "Yes, the prince arranged for it. He also sent two maids to serve in the courtyard behind the flower hall."

Daiyu was full of doubts in her heart, the scene just now was obviously to say goodbye to her, if she really stayed, why didn't she say a word.After thinking about it, Daiyu said to Hanyan: "You go to Nanny Fang, ask her to go to Shuiche Alley, and bring Second Grandma Bao, and tell her that Baoyu is at our house."

Hanyan responded and left.

Daiyu went back to the courtyard alone.The tears on his face were still wet, and he didn't talk to the people who came up. Seeing this scene, Xiyue and others couldn't ask more questions.

Daiyu went straight back to the Bisha cupboard and sat beside the smoker cage.It may be that the smoke inside was a little heavy, and I coughed for a while.Daiyu took out the string of tassels and looked at them carefully, but she didn't know why Baoyu gave them to her.

After a while, water dissolved in.See Dai sitting with her knees hugged, her eyes staring straight.He stepped forward and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Yu'er?"

Daiyu hurriedly raised her head and forced a smile and said, "No, it's nothing."

Shui Rong saw that there were still tears on her face, and her heart skipped a beat.Squatting beside Daiyu, he said to her, "You entrusted me with my work, and I did my best. It's just Baoyu."

"What about him?" Daiyu asked hurriedly.

"He's gone again."

All of this seemed to be expected, and the salute not long ago seemed to be a real farewell.Daiyu frowned, but felt a little pain in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Shui Rong suddenly didn't know how to comfort her, so he just stretched out his hand, wanting to soothe the frowning and the melancholy on the eyebrows for her.
