Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Concubine Nan'an recognized Lin Daiyu as a foster daughter, and somehow it spread to Jia's mansion, and Jia's mansion even sent Daiyu a congratulatory gift, just a pair of hairpin rings.

This word also reached Shui Rong's ears, he was first happy to find a backer for Daiyu, until the court heard that he wanted to get married, and asked Nan'an County King to do it, Shui Rong faintly realized that there was something wrong with this matter.Concubine Nan'an's sudden recognition of her daughter was definitely not that simple.

After coming back from court, Shui Rong was always depressed, so he went straight to Qixia Courtyard.Han Yan and Fei Yu were chatting and joking in the corridor, when they saw Shui Rong coming, they hurriedly asked the little girl to report, and the two hurried up to salute.

Shui Rong just stood in the courtyard and asked, "Isn't Miss Lin at home?"

Han Yan replied: "Miss Lin has gone to Yiyuan, please wait a moment, my lord."

Shui Rong nodded, and he followed his steps into the room.On the south wall hangs a picture of Qiu Ying (Plum Stone Playing the Qin) and below it is a marble desk, with a jade screen in the middle that was originally sent by someone.

There are several new books on the case, which are filled with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.There are two armchairs on the ground floor, with half-worn red satin mattresses.

Han Yan brought tea, Shui Rong stood in the room and didn't sit down.He looked at it for a while, and saw a small pair of gold-sprinkled green fields on the west wall, which read, "Singing leisurely, walking on bamboo and stone, and singing fragrant flowers." The words are well written, still revealing a trace of freshness and timelessness.

Just when Shui Rong was about to admire, a female voice was heard behind him: "I don't know the prince is coming, please forgive me for being rude."

When Shui Rong looked back, he saw Daiyu standing in the setting sun.Wearing a jade-colored embroidered long jacket, covered with a piece of Yang Fei-colored cloud satin, wearing a flower-like armor.A strip of white fox fur is exposed at the neckline.Standing there slim and graceful, with his head slightly lowered, his hands folded in front of him.The expression on his face was indifferent.

Shui Rong smiled slightly, then looked back at the pair, and said, "These two lines of Taibai's poems match perfectly."

Daiyu replied: "I wrote it for fun, but the prince laughed at me."

"I see that the girl's handwriting is good, and I will ask the girl to write a small couplet for me some other day, so I can hang it in the study."

Daiyu listened quietly, without comment.

Shui Rong said again: "There are so many couplets in the world, and I have been to many places, but the one on the Yellow Crane Tower is written with great momentum." Then he read: "When the cool air comes from the west, the clouds and mists sweep away the world. Regret; the great river goes east, and the waves wash away the sorrows of the past and the present. What does Miss Lin think?"

Daiyu replied: "This is the sentence that Dongpo inscribed in the Yellow Crane Tower back then. The prince said that the momentum is fierce, and it is true."

Shui Rong smiled slightly, and thought of Nan'an County King's plan in his heart, so he came to recognize Daiyu at this time.There are only two daughters in their family, and the older one is married. This girl is about the same age as Dunhui.Naturally, he refused to take it for a marriage, but now it's Daiyu's idea.Seeing that Daiyu is so clear and intelligent, I really want to send her to marry, how willing I am in my heart.

Daiyu noticed the gaze projected by Shui Rong, her cheeks became slightly hot, she lowered her head slightly and said, "I don't know what's the matter with the prince's arrival?"

"I have something to tell you, it's still a big thing."

Daiyu came in and lightly reprimanded the servant girl for refusing to pour tea.Then he gave up his seat again.

Shui Rong took a seat in an armchair below, and Daiyu was sitting opposite, holding a tea bowl in her hand, she didn't dare to look up.

Shui Rong drank two sips of tea, and said slowly: "I heard that Concubine Nan'an recognized Miss Lin as a foster daughter, is there such a thing?"

Daiyu turned her back and replied: "The entire government knows about this matter, not to mention the palaces on both sides, even the Rongguo Palace knows about it."

Shui Rong was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated Miss Xi yet?"

Daiyu said calmly, "Where does the joy come from?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Now that Miss Lin has become the sister of the King of Nan'an, her status has naturally followed. Naturally, those who underestimate Miss Lin will be silenced. Besides, the King of Nan'an is now very powerful in the court. In the past, among the four kings with different surnames, the Nan’an County King branch is still the leading one. Nowadays, no one in the court will give way.”

Daiyu said sternly: "This is their family's business and I have nothing to do with it. If the prince came here because of these words, the women would already know about it. If there is nothing else, please invite the prince to go back."

Xue Yan waited below and heard the words of her girl chasing guests, she frowned slightly: "What's going on here."

Shui Rong said: "The imperial court is going to negotiate a peace with the Qianxiang Kingdom, and this matter has been handed over to the King of Nan'an County to handle it. Today there is news that the court wants to negotiate a peace..."

Daiyu was extremely intelligent, and when she heard this, she immediately understood what was going on, her whole heart sank, and she felt a chill.I thought that the weather was so icy and biting before the number nine.

Sensing the change in Daiyu's expression, Shui Rong also stood up, and said firmly, "Miss, please don't worry. I once said that once I am king, I will naturally protect the girl well. I will take care of this matter." Think of a way for the girl, the matter hasn't fully come out yet, I think there will always be a way, if it doesn't work, the king will ask the queen mother for orders..."

Daiyu immediately interrupted Shui Rong's words, turned her body sideways and said: "The prince's grace is appreciated by the people, and I have to trouble the prince to worry about this matter. If it doesn't work, it will be the daughter's life, so I won't blame the prince."

Shui Rong wanted to say what was on her mind, but seeing Daiyu thinking so much that it would be embarrassing for the two of them to say it, she paused and said, "If that's the case, please take care of Miss Lin, I'm leaving."

Daiyu nodded and asked Feiyu to see her off.

Seeing Daiyu standing under the window, Xueyan stared at the withered banana leaves in the courtyard and was in a daze.I thought to myself what would happen if I really went to the Qianxiang country, and how I should work hard to survive in a place where I was not familiar with.

Xueyan took a cloak and put it on with Daiyu.

"It's cold here, girl, let's go back to the Nuan Pavilion."

But Daiyu stood still, not long after, she saw that the sky was getting dark, and it was raining, dripping on the dead leaves. This situation triggered Daiyu's delicate mind, and she said casually : "The plantains are planted in front of the window because of the rain. The dripping sound of the pity canal keeps the dream of returning home..." The word returning home is condensed in her chest, and Daiyu thinks that she may never return home in this life. I don't know if the cloves planted by my father in the courtyard will be there again?

Shui Rong braved the rain and went straight to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion. The Nan'an County King was having a drink with his concubine Ji. Hearing that Shui Rong was coming, he hurriedly greeted him.Besides, the king of Nan'an County is now in his thirties, so he is a little older than Shui Rong.The two families often communicate with each other, and they are all commensurate with each other by their names, both inside and outside.

King Jian Shuirong of Nan'an was wearing a coir raincoat, a big coir rain hat, and a pair of Tang clogs on his feet.When I got to the eaves, I removed the coir hat and let Liu'er hold it, and replaced the Tang wooden clogs.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, the King of Nan'an County hurriedly let the water melt into the house and said with a smile: "It's raining from Congshan today. In the past, even if I sent a post to your house, I couldn't invite you."

Shui Rong had an apologetic face: "I'm afraid I disturbed Brother Hou Hai."

The king of Nan'an County ordered someone to make a bowl of the good tea brewed by Jinjin, and gave a pear back chair that he often sat on to sit in the water.

The King of Nan'an sat down and said with a smile: "A while ago, I heard people say that Congshan is going to take the initiative to invite you?"

Shui Rong didn't evade and said: "There is such a thing, but since it has been decided now, Brother Yu dare not say anything else. Now it is handed over to Brother Houhai to mediate, I wonder how Brother Houhai plans to deal with it?"

The king of Nan'an County thought to himself: Congshan usually doesn't take care of things very much, why is it impossible to ask this question today in the rain? Does he have any plans or suggestions? He wants to listen.He must have smiled wryly and said: "Right now, this fact is bothering me, the higher-ups are pressing hard, and I am afraid that the war in the south will be tense again, and it will become a hot potato, and I can't lose it. Brother Yu's troubles must be the same as Congshan's. I know, yesterday I was talking about getting married again. After much deliberation, it may be a solution to my troubles. The product of Qianxiang country is not rich, and it was hit by a sea disaster last year, so there was an incident on the border. If we can The marriage of a daughter of a clan, presumably the dispute can be calmed down for a while."

After hearing this, Shui Rong seemed a little angry: "Why should a weak woman do things that men can't solve? I really don't know what kind of mind these people have?!"

Seeing Shui Rong's words and demeanor, Nan'an County King was very surprised, and thought to himself what the hell is going on with this King of Beijing Jing, he doesn't seem to have the usual modest demeanor at all.Therefore, he said: "Congshan is full of talents and learning, and the marriage has a long history. Zhaojun must have known about Zhaojun's departure from the fortress and Wencheng's entry into Tibet. How many good stories have been left behind."

"Meitan, I think there is only one green mound left in the dusk."

The king of Nan'an County quickly comforted him and said: "Don't get excited from the mountain, besides, this matter has nothing to do with you, why do you need to go to war like this?"

After Shui Rong calmed down for a while, Fang asked again: "I don't know what Brother Houhai intends?"

The King of Nan'an County said: "I'm afraid that we can't get away with getting married. There is really no other way. It's just that the candidate hasn't been decided yet. Originally, we wanted to send the younger sister, but the concubine mother is very reluctant. The younger sister has always been the concubine's heart. Meat, how could she be allowed to go to such a desolate place now?"

Shui Rong pursed his lips tightly, his eyes filled with indignation.

The king of Nan'an County said again: "So the mother and concubine said that they want to recognize a relative, and now it is accepted. I heard that the girl was originally the jewel of the old Xunyan censor's family, and she was accompanied by Princess Yongjia as a companion. In this way, she is really smart , a person who knows the general situation. The mother concubine also said that she would invite my righteous sister to stay in the mansion for a few days..."

The king of Nan'an County hadn't finished speaking, but Shui Rong felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and beat his legs, got up and raised his hands and begged Nan'an County King one word at a time: "Brother Houhai has been waiting for the water to be not thin. I have never asked Brother Houhai for anything, but this is the only thing, please ask Brother Houhai to help me dissolve it once."

The king of Nan'an County had never seen Shui Rong act so solemnly before, so he also expected the purpose of his trip.He hurriedly stepped forward to support Shui Rong who was about to bow down, and said seriously: "Why do you need to be more polite from the mountain, Brother Yu can help, just tell me straight from the mountain."

Shui Rong said: "Brother Houhai, please let Miss Lin go. She is thin, so she can't stand the weather. Qianxiang Country's climate is harsh, and there are not many products. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive with her delicate appearance. "

The king of Nan'an County was startled, thinking about the reason, and then said: "She is a good candidate from a noble background, and I heard that she has no parents, so she doesn't have so much interference. She is also obedient if she thinks about it."

"It's easier to play with her as an orphan, isn't she? She is also raised by ordinary parents. Brother Houhai can't bear to part with his own sister. How can he be willing to part with someone else now that the family is separated and going to such a far place?" Shui Rong shouted urgently. road.

The king of Nan'an County hurriedly said: "That's the reason, but she is an orphan now, and she can have such a way out, isn't it also a credit to the ancestors?"

Shui Rong sneered twice when he heard the words, and his mood obviously calmed down: "Brother Houhai just said that he would help Shui Rong. Besides, there are so many families of old friends, there are many suitable women, I have no problem choosing someone else at will."

The king of Nan'an laughed strangely: "As long as the candidate is not Miss Lin, I don't have any objections?"

Soluble nodded.

The king of Nan'an County said again: "I know that Miss Lin is now accompanying your princess in your mansion. It is reasonable for you to intercede for her. But if I don't want to do this, what will Congshan do?"

The expression on Shui Rong's face froze in an instant, seeing that his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his eyes seemed to have a cold light, but his words were extremely flat: "If that's the case, there is no need for the two families of the North and the South to communicate."

Shui Rong's answer stunned King Nan'an, thinking that he was very serious this time.He also thought that because of an irrelevant woman, the two families shouldn't be arguing like this, and after thinking about it, he agreed: "If that's the case, Brother Yu has no choice but to agree to come from the mountain."

There was no joy on Shui Rong's face, but he instantly felt relieved that he could have an explanation from Daiyu.
