Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

The night is deep, and the candles are flickering.Daiyu is slowly writing under the lamp.

Zijuan stood by the side, thinking of Yuanyang's words, hesitating again and again, not knowing how to speak, seeing that it was getting late, she couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, write again tomorrow, it's time to rest. Baoyu is at school every day, and the master is at home again. Don't you still owe me money?" Homework failed?"

"How do you know him?" Daiyu had already finished a volume, and put the manuscript under the window with a paperweight, waiting for it to dry slowly.

Daiyu noticed that Zicuckoo's mood was not as usual today, so she asked her: "Are you stupid today, or where did you get it? I have been looking at you for a long time, and something is not right."

Zijuan hurriedly covered up: "Where... how can there be."

Daiyu's mind is clear, and Zijuan has been like this since the mandarin ducks came.At this moment, she also expected a little bit, thinking that Yuanyang must have said something.Zijuan saw that Daiyu no longer wrote, so she hurried to clean up.First clean the pen in the brush wash, and then clean the inkstone.

Daiyu felt weak and tired, and seeing that Zijuan refused to speak, she asked her, "Did the mandarin duck say something to you?"

Zijuan was startled, maybe she listened to the conversation with Yuanyang.I thought in my heart that I can't hide it after all, so I said hesitatingly: "Girl, something serious happened."

"What's the big deal?" Daiyu asked hurriedly.

"Sister Yuanyang told me that it was the wives' idea, that in the year of the general election next year, she planned... to let the girl apply for the election." Zijuan mustered up her courage and finally spoke clearly.

Daiyu only felt her head buzzing, and she couldn't hear what Zijuan said behind her.To her, this news was like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, and she suddenly felt a basin of cold water being poured over her head, which was icy cold.

She looked at Zijuan hopelessly, thinking that she could not escape such a fate.In the early years, it was said that Sister Bao was going to be selected, but later it was delayed because of family affairs, so why did I go her way?For a while, I only felt that the five flavors were mixed and chaotic.

Zijuan saw that Daiyu didn't make a sound, could it be that she was too reckless to make the girl lose her soul, and when she was about to say a few words of comfort, she saw Daiyu slowly get up while supporting the chair, then walked to the window, and stretched out her hand to open the window. window drawer.The night wind immediately poured into the room, blowing Daiyu's light green robes fluttering, as if she was a fairy in the dust.

Daiyu raised her eyes and looked up, seeing a few lonely stars in the blue night sky.She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed silently.Thinking to themselves that the fate of this life is pitiful, they joined hands and pushed themselves into a situation where they could not survive or die.

Before the first snow came, Mrs. Wang and others finally had a showdown with Daiyu.Now Daiyu's roster has been officially reported.Daiyu didn't resist as much as everyone expected, or she was looking for life and death.But Wei Wei got up and silently endured everything that fate brought.

But Sister Feng saw the mystery, and secretly asked Ping'er to find Zijuan, and let Zijuan persuade her.I'm afraid that there will be another accident, otherwise the Jia family can no longer afford this crime.

After Baoyu found out about this, he frantically ran to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to see Daiyu.But Daiyu avoids seeing her, only Zicuckoo blocks her.

"Sister Lin! Sister Lin!" Baoyu cried out in pain.

Zijuan stopped and said, "Second Master, please go back."

"Sister Lin, why is this, why?"

Daiyu pretended to be deaf, since she knew about this fate arrangement, she gradually saw through the ways of the world.Even the grandmother who loved her the most on weekdays excused herself from illness, and she wanted to find a place to intercede to show that she would not go, but there was no way.If this is the case, I thought that if I really got to that place, I had to live well, at least I had to be worthy of the second elder under the spring.Now he hardened his heart and ignored Baoyu.

Looking at Daiyu's slender figure on Qian's screen window, Baoyu said firmly, "Sister Lin, you know what I mean. Hello, we are good together; if you are not good, I will never live alone. I I still have a lot of things to say to my sister, I just ask her to open the door." He patted the window pane feebly, and fell to the ground when he lost his strength.There seemed to be anger and sorrow in his heart, and they all surged up, dragging him weakly, and only felt a faint pain in his chest.

Daiyu turned her back, feeling sad, silently wiped her tears, and said decisively: "You go."

Baoyu felt that there were many things he wanted to say to her, but they were all stuck in his throat.Xiren came over and persuaded: "Second Master, why are you sitting on the ground, go back and rest quickly. Miss Lin also needs to rest, be careful that the master and wife will get angry if they find out."

Baoyu was dragged away by the attacker in a daze.

Throughout the twelfth lunar month, the Rongguo Mansion was preparing for Daiyu's entry into the palace, and the palace sent a nanny to see her.When the spring of the next year begins, the peach blossoms will bloom and it will be the day of the general election.

The mansion hails a car of Cui Gai Zhu Lun, specially dressed up for a while, and invites Daiyu to sit on it.Jia Lian and others escorted the car all the way into the palace.

On the field outside the Zhaohua Hall, there were quite a few women who should be drafted. Daiyu looked coldly, and saw a group of gorgeously dressed young women, some were charming, some were dignified, some were elegant, some were enchanting.Most of them are above average in appearance, and they are all women from official families.

Daiyu is wearing a silver-red brocade jacket and a concubine-colored skirt with only a hibiscus embroidered on it.Because of the cold, a bright red crane cloak was added outside.A plaque with Daiyu's name and hometown is hung on her waist.She is holding a girlish bun, with a golden phoenix in her hair, and a newly blooming orchid on her ear.No other decorations.She also saw her thin and slender face, with a faint trace of melancholy hanging between her brows and eyes.With slightly closed lips, he stood there alone without talking to the people around him.

Standing straight for nearly an hour, Daiyu was about to be unbearable when she heard the eunuch call her name.Following the eunuch's guidance, Daiyu walked into a large hall.

Daiyu didn't have time to look at the furnishings in the house, but felt that there were two people sitting in the hall.Seeing that there was a cushion in front of him, he knelt down.

"Get up."

Daiyu heard a female voice, which revealed a sense of majesty.She stood there with her head bowed, holding her breath and eyes closed, her palms were slightly sweating.I feel weak and unsteady.

"Where is your family, what kind of official did your father do?"

When Daiyu heard the woman in the hall questioning her, she quickly replied, "My family is from Gusu, my father used to be the censor who inspected salt in Yangzhou."

As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, a male voice sounded in the hall: "It turns out that it is the jewel of the former Lin Yushi's family. Why is it written in the brochure Jia's Rongguo Mansion?"

Daiyu didn't know that there would be Jia's name in the name book, so she could only answer: "Rongguo Mansion is the ancestral home of Minnv."

"What is your name?"

Daiyu quickly replied: "Lin Daiyu."

The people in the hall did not continue to ask questions, Daiyu quietly glanced at the hall while nervous.On the resplendent throne sits the current emperor, wearing a crown.Daiyu couldn't see the face of the emperor clearly, the seat next to her was a noble lady in a phoenix robe and a golden crown on her head, Daiyu looked at her temples so gray, she thought that the person who could set up a seat in front of the emperor must be a queen characters.

Then the emperor in the hall asked again: "Have you ever been literate? What books did you read?"

Daiyu replied cautiously: "I know a few words, but I have only read the Four Books for Women."

Just when Daiyu was uneasy, she heard the emperor say to the eunuch who was in front of her, "Write down the name and leave the sign."

Daiyu's heart sank in an instant. She originally planned to lose in the draft, but she didn't expect such an ending.

When they returned to Rongguo Mansion, the Jia family were all very happy when they learned of this result.Mother Jia even took Daiyu's hand and said, "Yu'er, you saved the Jia family." She was about to kneel down, but Daiyu hurriedly supported her, and said, "Old ancestor."

Sister Feng persuaded her: "Okay, this is a great happy event. Now we will wait for the decree of Enfeng to come from the palace."

Mrs. Wang's idea is to ask people to prepare a new house for Daiyu, and the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is no longer available.

Daiyu asked Zicuckoo to clean up, but she didn't expect to find some things that Baoyu gave her back then.Daiyu asked Zicuckoo to take those and return them to Baoyu.Baoyu has been ill since winter, and she doesn't even leave the door of Yihong Courtyard.The two have never met.

Two days later, the palace sent two nuns to teach Daiyu the etiquette in the palace.It was only on the fifth day that the decree came out. It turned out that Lin Daiyu was not selected as a concubine, but as the princess's companion.

Mrs. Wang and others were a little disappointed, only Mother Jia was relieved that sending Daiyu into the palace was a helpless act, so there is still a chance to come out.How could Daiyu stay in that place, plus this granddaughter is a little weird and no one is taking care of her.Don't worry about it a few times a day.

Daiyu was allowed to bring a girl to accompany her. After thinking twice, Daiyu found Zijuan to discuss with her: "Zijuan, you should not go with her. After all, once you enter that place, you may not be able to come out easily. You treat me very well." Well, I don't want you to suffer with me."

Zijuan heard that and knelt down: "Miss, do you dislike Zijuan? Zijuan is reluctant to leave the girl. Let Zijuan stay with the girl for the rest of her life and never go anywhere."

"Fool, there is no reason for a lifetime. You have a family, a brother, and a bond. That's it, I will take the snow goose. You live a good life outside, and I will give you all the things I left. Some money, I'll go and report to the old lady to redeem you, so you don't have to wait on people anymore. You will be at ease in the future." Daiyu said, and Zijuan cried a few times.When Daiyu finished giving her orders, Zijuan was choked up and unable to make a sound.

"Girl, although it's a blessing not to be a concubine, it's a place of right and wrong after all. The girl has no one to rely on, and there is no one close to her. How will she live in the future? When the girl is sad, there is no one to relieve her. Why don't you ask Think more about happy things, other things are trivial, the most important thing is to take care of your body."

Daiyu nodded in agreement with tears in her eyes, and she handed a piece of blue flower paper to Zijuan, and said: "After I leave, you give this to Baoyu."

Zicuckoo took it, and there were two sentences on it.After following Daiyu's side for these years, I can quite recognize a few characters. Seeing that it says: "Once you enter the Hou family, it's as deep as the sea, and from then on Xiao Lang is a passerby."
