Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

In the afternoon, the sky began to snow, and the cold wind blew the window paper and rattled.The princess has not come down and it is the last day of the year.It was also the first time for Daiyu to celebrate the New Year in a place other than her own and Jia's, but the bustling Fengyi Palace in the past suddenly became deserted at this time.

Daiyu had been hiding in the room because she was afraid of the cold and refused to come out. The maids and eunuchs who served her were still joking around the fire on the porch.It was quiet in the room.

He and his aunt opened the curtain and walked in, holding a food box in his hand, and said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, this is the meal that the princess asked to deliver to Miss Lin." Daiyu glanced through the window paper, and the snow seemed to be It didn't stop, it was getting late.

Daiyu felt her hands were cold, she rubbed her hands together and smiled to her aunt, "Why don't you ask my aunt to eat with me?"

Xueyan and Lianxin hurriedly laid out the small table in the corner, and took out the things in the food box with their aunt.There are charcoals under the box, so the food is not cold yet.

After the food was served, Daiyu said to Lian Xin, "Hurry up and get Aunt Sheng's meal."

Xueyan took the rice chopsticks inlaid with ebony and gold, and ordered her and her aunt to serve a bowl of fire meat, cabbage and shrimp soup first.Sit down with my aunt and have dinner with Daiyu.

Daiyu saw that there were a lot of dishes, and ordered Xueyan to give the people below to eat the soft fish and a plate of crab roe and emerald crystal dumplings.There is also a plate of jujube osmanthus cake to eat with Xueyan and Lianxin.There are four dishes left, a bowl of West Lake beef soup, a plate of braised goose slices, a plate of mandarin duck snowflake rolls, and a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and preserved winter melon.

Daiyu has always had a light appetite, so she ate with her aunt for a while, picked some goose slices, ate two rolls, and stopped eating half a bowl of rice with soup.

Seeing that she ate less, Auntie and Aunt could not help worrying: "Miss Lin only eats this, no wonder she is so thin."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't be weird, aunt. I'm used to being at home. I've been taking medicine since I was a child, since I knew how to eat. I'm not very particular about these aspects. Auntie is slow to use, so I can't accompany you."

Xueyan brought tea to rinse her mouth, and Daiyu rinsed her mouth.My aunt and aunt also ate, and the rest of the food was collected and rewarded to the people below.

Talk to my aunt and Daiyu to relieve boredom.Seeing that the sky was getting dark gradually, Daiyu asked her aunt before the princess returned, "Is the princess like this every year?"

The aunt smiled and said: "That's right, we used to guard the Fengyi Palace, but this year we added you two. The Queen Mother loves our princess again, and the princess wants to stay with Changchun Palace to watch the new year. In fact, the Chinese New Year is celebrated in the first month. He's the busiest one."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I really don't know if my aunt doesn't tell me."

He aunt said again: "But I heard people say that the son-in-law is going back to Beijing, maybe in the next year. This marriage has been booked for several years, and the princess is already grown up. It seems that the princess will get married next year, and the princess mansion has already started construction. The princess also said that either let me go back, or let me help take care of the princess mansion."

When Daiyu heard about it, she asked again: "What is Auntie's plan? I think Auntie must miss her family too. After being out for so many years..." After talking about it, Daiyu suddenly remembered whether she could still go out, and felt emotional for a while.

He and his aunt sighed: "The family is far away, but this year someone brought something in. It's not interesting to go back. The sisters in the family are all married, and the brothers have their own homes. My father is gone. My mother is like an old lord now. It doesn’t make much sense to go back, and at my age, I’m afraid that people will think that I occupy the land when I go back.”

Daiyu hurriedly said: "It's not like this because they are all family ties."

He and his aunt smiled wryly and said: "Who knows. Everyone has their own plans now. If there is a good friend waiting for me outside, I would be happy to go back. But no one is waiting for me. It's better to stay with the princess and be an aunt now, and be an aunt in the future." Mammy, I've figured this out too. Where's Miss Lin? After the princess gets married, Miss Lin is going to go back to Jia's house, right?"

The conversation with her aunt had already touched Daiyu's mind, but now she couldn't answer the question.Suddenly, I realized that I had nowhere to go, just like my aunt who had been away from home for more than ten years.

Seeing that she was silent, Aunt He laughed and said: "Miss Lin is young, she is so talented and looks good, and her family background is not bad. Maybe the queen mother will promise you to some princes and nobles as soon as she is kind. Don't worry, girl, I was sick last time. It’s okay if you’re so powerful, haven’t you ever heard that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed, the girl still has a lot of good days.”

Daiyu was stunned, and asked tentatively: "Did the queen mother make decisions for the companions of those princesses and princesses in the past?"

Aunt He smiled and said, "It also depends on who is close to the princess. If the princess is not popular, the queen mother is not willing to ask. But our place is different from other places. How long the girl can stay in there may not be half a year." " After talking with my aunt and Daiyu for a while, I felt a little tired, so I said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, go to bed early. I'll go back to my room first, because I'm getting old and can't stand it anymore."

After leaving with her aunt, Daiyu couldn't calm down for a long time.She thought she could live a quiet life in the palace for a year or two, but it turned out she couldn't.Where can I go after leaving this palace gate, the Jia family can't go back.Sister Bao has become Bao's second grandmother, and the sisters have all dispersed one after another, so what's the point of going back by herself.Thinking of that dream again, I was just living in their house, and there was no reason to live in their house forever.

Daiyu stood by the window, stretched out her hand to open the window drawer, and let in a lot of cold wind.Daiyu didn't feel cold either, she just stood there blankly.The cold wind brought bursts of snowflakes.There was a rumbling sound somewhere, and then the dark night sky suddenly burst into gorgeous fireworks. Daiyu looked up at the night sky and saw those gorgeous lights passing by at the speed of her eyes.I thought that although the fireworks are beautiful, but life is too short.However, although it was short-lived, it seemed to be good once it was so gorgeous.

With the light of the fire, Daiyu saw the snowflakes flying outside, and she stretched out her hand to catch one.But as soon as it reached the palm, it had already turned into water.

Xueyan came in to smoke the quilt for Daiyu, but she saw Daiyu standing by the window, the window was wide open.Xueyan hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said, "What are you doing, girl, it seems that you have caught cold again."

But Daiyu refused to let Xueyan close the window, and said, "I can also feel their excitement."

She thought to herself, the princess has the empress dowager, the emperor has brothers and sisters, so it is a happy fusion. The princess has no parents but has brothers, sisters-in-law, and younger brothers. Naturally, the family is reunited.The sisters of the Jia family naturally have someone to protect them, so why is she alone?

Xueyan saw that Daiyu was not moving, so she quickly took a cloak and put it on her.Looking at those sparks flashing before her eyes one by one, Daiyu only felt that tears had filled her eyes.I only felt sour and bitter in my heart, thinking that I was not even as good as my aunt, my aunt still had my mother to think about, but I had nothing to think about.

Maybe it was because of watching for a long time that Daiyu slumped on the chair.Xueyan hurried up and closed the window, and said to Daiyu: "The bedding is all ready, girl, please rest if you are tired."

"Okay, you go down." Daiyu stared at the candle in a daze.
