Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 64: Revisiting the Old Place

Whenever Daiyu has free time, she always goes to Wangyunzhai to pick up two books to read, and she also meets Shui Rong twice.The two did not talk much, limited to a few words in the book.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the concubine prepared to deliver the ceremony in the palace and other affairs in the palace according to the rules of previous years.Shui Rong came back late these two days because of North Korea-China affairs.The princess didn't bother to ask, and didn't care where he went to bed at night.

Besides, Daiyu has been in the palace for more than a year, and she finally came out, and now the rules of living in the palace are much less.Mother Jia thought that she was away, and because the festival was coming, she hurriedly ordered people to come to the palace to invite Daiyu to return to Rongguo Mansion to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Daiyu originally didn't want to go back, but after all, the palace is just a place to live.Seeing Mother Jia's invitation, the princess specially sent a few wives to pick her up, thinking that Daiyu had never been back since entering the palace, so she agreed wholeheartedly for Daiyu.

Daiyu had no choice but to take Xueyan back to Rongguo Mansion by car.It is nearly two hours' journey from Beijing Palace to Rongguo Mansion.However, for the two hours that passed, Daiyu felt uneasy, and now in the mansion she was most afraid of the person she saw, than Baoyu.I thought what I could say if I met myself.He no longer lives in Xiaoxiang Hall, and he is not the young master in Yihong Courtyard.However, she is also a sensitive person, thinking that everyone has been playing around for a few years, but now they meet in such a situation.

As the car drove slowly, Daiyu rubbed and rubbed the silk in her hand.Until the car came to a slow stop, and then someone came to lift the curtain for Daiyu. Daiyu raised her eyes and saw that it was a mandarin duck.

Yuanyang smiled all over her face: "Miss Lin is counted, the old lady has been looked forward to several times. Come with me."

Daiyu said, "I'm sorry, sister Yuanyang."

The snow geese behind hurriedly followed, and Yuanyang and Yuanyang supported each other.Daiyu took a look, she was still so majestic and magnificent, exactly the same as when she first came to Jia's mansion.

The mandarin ducks asked each other for a while, and they passed through the super mobile corridor and Baosha.I have come to Jia Mu's yard.I saw the five main rooms above, with the deer-roofed side rooms on both sides, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings.A few girls in red and green clothes sat on the platform and got up quickly at the moment.

Yuanyang dragged Daiyu into the house, and Daiyu saw the silver-haired grandmother sitting on the couch at a glance, so she hurriedly bent down to salute.

But Jia Mu said: "It's hard to come back, come and sit beside me."

Daiyu hurriedly saw Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang in the room again.The two sisters Tanchun and Xichun sitting below hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they also greeted each other.There are only few people in the house to greet the spring.

Mother Jia asked Daiyu to sit in front of the couch, and took her hand to look carefully, before she had time to speak, there were tears in her eyes, and she called out: "My poor Yu'er, I finally came out of the palace. Why did you go to the palace again, and I asked someone to clean up the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for you. This time, I will stay here for a few days when I come back. How long has it been since you sisters talked together. I asked someone to invite Yun girl back, which is rare It's a big festival again, so you should have a good time."

Daiyu replied: "The old lady is distressed, but now that Yu'er is in the palace, I'm afraid it would be bad to delay for a long time."

Mother Jia thought for a while and said: "Well, I'll let someone go to the palace to tell Princess Bei that I can stay with you for two days. Hey, during the year you have been here, someday will I not talk to others? You are not in good health, if there is no one in front of you who knows what is cold, how can you do it? Back then, the only person I loved was your mother, but your mother left early, and you were the only one left behind. These family members are hateful. Let's count you in."

Mrs. Wang lowered her head slightly.

Baochai came in with the attacker, and Daiyu got up quickly.

Baochai stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sister Lin has indeed arrived. How is the journey?"

"Okay." Daiyu paused for a moment, and then said, "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law, for thinking about it." She didn't see Sister Feng again, so Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Why don't you see Second Sister-in-law Lian?"

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Madam Feng is guarding my house, see you later."

Jiamu then ordered Baochai: "Your sister Lin came back once in a while, and said to go to the kitchen. Cook some dishes that your sister Lin likes."

Baochai quickly agreed.

Mother Jia left Daiyu by her side to talk.Mrs. Wang came out after she could sit down, and called Baochai over and asked, "Yesterday, I heard that you took your jewelry as a pawn too?"

Baochai knew that she couldn't hide the matter, so she had to answer: "In the end, I let my wife know. Because the old lady said that she would prepare for the ceremony, how can she get the extra money now, thinking that since the old lady is happy, it is a big festival. , I have no choice but to deal with it first. It won't make the old lady look bad."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was anxious: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult at home. It was fine when Feng girl helped the housekeeper. After all, it hasn't been good for a few years. You are also an honest person, why don't you talk to me? "

Baochai said: "Madam is upset by many things in normal times. Besides, when I saw the sister-in-law from Shuiyue Temple come to see my wife, I thought it must be for profit and sesame oil money. After a year, I can't make it clear. Yesterday, I reconciled with her." The third younger sister said, thinking that her family is not as good as it used to be, with less entry and more travel. You have to save what you need, and you are afraid of wronging your wives, grandmas and ladies. This matter will not be easy to handle in the end."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said, "I'll discuss it with the master after the festival."

Just as Baochai was about to go down, Mrs. Wang asked again, "Where did Baoyu go in the morning?"

Baochai shook her head: "I don't know, and I haven't told anyone about it."

Mrs. Wang sighed slightly, just as Mother Jia sent someone to ask, "The old lady asked where Second Grandma Bao's banquet is for tonight?"

Baochai went to see Mrs. Wang's intentions again. Mrs. Wang thought about it and said, "There are still a few places in the garden where you can enjoy the moon. You can figure out what the old lady wants to do."

Baochai agreed.Mrs. Wang is troubled in her heart, she knows about Eryu's relationship.Now Baochai is finally married in, and the theory of gold and jade has been fulfilled.Baoyu's disposition did not change a bit.Baochai is an honest daughter-in-law, but she heard Xiren and Sheyue in the room talking about the couple getting along, and now that Daiyu is back, it would be a disaster if they saw each other again.I'm afraid that Baoyu will suffer from some kind of dementia again.How can Baochai face it?Fang also thought that Daiyu was not too young, so it was time to tell her about marriage, and reasoned that she had no mother, and she was an aunt, so she could do it.After thinking about it for a while, I thought that I should find a chance to go back to Ming Jiamu.

Guessing what Jiamu meant, Baochai asked people to set up the banquet in Tubi Mountain Villa, where the terrain is high and it is good to enjoy the moon.Thinking that it would be rare for Daiyu to come back, he asked people to clean up the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and sent a few maids there to help.

In the afternoon, the mother-in-law sent to Wei's house to invite Xiangyun came back, and she replied to Ming Jia's mother: "Grandma Shi said that my uncle is sick and can't come. Please forgive me, the old lady, and also greet Miss Lin."

Mother Jia was unhappy when she heard this.

The Grand View Garden has been gone for a whole year, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.There was a sense of desolation, and I saw those dead vines hanging quietly on the rocks, and the autumn wind was blowing, so delicate.

There are still hundreds of poles of green bamboo in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Jia Mu asked Zhu Ma to plant some new ones here.When Daiyu walked into the place where she lived in the past, everything was quiet.There is no warm words from Zicuckoo, no chatting and laughing between sisters.Only the emerald bamboo hides a trace of coldness.

She glanced at the swallow's nest under the eaves, but the nest was already empty.The parrot hanging under the moon hole does not know where it is at this time.

The furnishings in the house are still the same.Daiyu asks Xueyan to find the qin left to her by her father, which is still in a box.

Although the furnishings have not been changed, Daiyu always feels that something is missing.The hanging curtains have now been replaced by soft ink calligraphy and paintings.The scene in front of her finally touched Daiyu's thoughts a lot. Just when she was feeling grateful, she suddenly heard the voice of people in the yard.

She got up to have a look, only to see Xiren coming with some little girls.When they got into the house, Xiren said with a smile: "Second Mistress asked to bring flower tents and bedding." Xueyan hurriedly took them.

Daiyu said, "Sister Xiren, please sit down." Seeing that Xiren is still the same, nothing has changed.When Daiyu saw her, she naturally thought of Zijuan, and asked, "Sister Xiren, do you know how my Zijuan is?"

Xiren replied: "I heard that sister Zijuan is doing well. Her brother has opened a shop to do business, and sister Zijuan is helping. I heard that there will be someone else."

After hearing this, Daiyu felt a little relieved: "It's hard for her to follow me, and it finally came to a good end."

Xiren smiled and said: "Yes, sister Zijuan is not a child of the family here. The old lady let her out with grace, she can't compare to us..."

Daiyu recalled that Xiren's aunt once gave Baoyu the roommate, and seeing her behavior in front of her, it was not easy to ask more questions.

Xiren said again: "Miss Lin has been in the palace for a year, and her appearance has changed a bit. It's better than when she was at home. Now the old lady doesn't have to worry about it day and night."

Daiyu smiled slightly, Xiren saw that there seemed to be impatience on her face, thinking that Daiyu was usually a petty person, and he was afraid that staying for a long time would upset her.There was something else on my body, so I got up and said goodbye.Daiyu asked Xueyan to see her off.

Daiyu caressed the desk she had used in the past, and the chessboard she had played chess on.Thinking of how time flies so quickly, when the situation of this year and a half comes back, it will be a different situation.Although the people in the mansion are still polite and warm to her, Daiyu always feels that she is just an outsider and does not belong here after all.I don't know where the destination of this life is.

Then Tanchun and Xichun sisters made an appointment to talk to Daiyu. Tanchun smiled and said, "Sister Lin doesn't know, the fourth sister has been painting for several years. Finally finished the painting. We all say that the fourth sister painted It really took more work than building this garden back then."

After hearing this, Daiyu smiled lightly, and asked Xichun again: "Fourth sister, I really want to see it. But I don't know where is that painting?"

Xichun said: "It's still in Zilingzhou. Sister Lin can see it now."

The three of them came to Zilingzhou, Xichun took the paintings and unfolded them one by one.A huge and vivid picture of carpe diem.The houses, tiles, plants and trees above are all in the scene.The people in the painting are the old sisters of the poetry club back then.There are also Baoqin and plum blossoms in the snow.Grandma Liu, who came to play the autumn wind, and Xiao Baner in front of her.

Tanchun laughed beside him and said, "In the past, Sister Lin jokingly called Grandma Liu's picture of 'chewing locusts'. I don't know if this mouth is still tricky or not."

Daiyu's face became slightly hot when she said it, and she turned her face to Tanchun and said: "The third sister is still unforgiving. I remember that the third sister's flower lottery said 'getting your son-in-law' back then. My sister's son-in-law is not far away."

Tanchun nodded and smiled without being annoyed: "Sister Lin hasn't left the house yet, so I'm in a hurry to do something. It's my turn after Sister Lin gets married first."

Daiyu blushed even more, these words ran out of Tanchun's mouth, how could she be spared, and hurriedly reached out to pinch Tanchun's face.Tanchun smiled and avoided it.

Although Xichun is a few years younger than the two of them, she doesn't fight along with her.He stood there quietly, but smiled casually.In her heart, she has already let go of these distracting thoughts in the world.

The three gathered together to continue tasting Xichun's painting, and Tanchun talked to him about the scene in the painting at that time.Brings back memories of the past.Daiyu saw the young gentleman in the painting with the jade hanging around his neck and the red arrow sleeves, and her eyes became astringent.After staring blankly for a while, he couldn't understand what Tanchun and the others said.
