Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Spring is fleeting, and the prosperity on the trees is gradually withering.Only the green leaves of a tree are left empty.

The peaches, apricots, pears, and begonias in the garden have also rushed to bloom.In mid-air, catkins were seen fluttering lightly, rootless.A tree of pomegranate flowers bloomed heavily, red like fire, and the flowers on the tea stand added a bit of fragrance.

Seeing that the flowering season is far away, only an empty sigh is left in the end.Daiyu still clearly remembered that on the day of Huachao, the side concubine invited a group of actors to sing.As for whether that day is Daiyu's birthday, no one has asked.Xueyan originally wanted to reveal it to Yiyuan, but Daiyu stopped her and said: "Why do you need to make a fuss so that everyone in the house knows, but it's nothing serious."

Now this was said two or three months ago, and Daiyu is still the same as when she lived in the Grand View Garden. She took a silk bag and slowly packed up the remnants of red from that place, and buried her in a corner so that she could live up to it. It has bloomed for a season.

After packing up the remnants and coming back, I saw Dunhui and Xueyan were making nail paint there.Dun Hui put the picked and washed bright red petals into a fine porcelain vat, and Xue Yan said to her, "It is said that some salt needs to be added, so that the flower juice inside can come out more."

Dunhui hurriedly asked someone to bring the salt.On the other hand, he excitedly smashed the petals in the porcelain vat, talked to the maids, and sneezed a few times.

Seeing their high spirits, Daiyu came up and said, "It's not a serious matter after all, thanks to your hard work."

Xueyan is usually short and playful, but now that she and Princess Dunhui are together, it seems that they have similar interests, and Daiyu's persuasion is useless.I just felt that the scene in front of me was a bit familiar, but Xueyan said at this time: "Miss, don't persuade me, when Baoyu was making those flowers and powders in the garden, at that time, he liked to wash rouge by himself, and I didn't see you talking about him, girl. He is still a man, we girls do this, the girl is not happy."

Daiyu's face darkened, she didn't tell Xueyan apart, she turned her head and ignored them, and went straight back to the back room.In front of her dressing table, she took a look in the mirror, and saw that the hair on her temples was a little looser, and she took a hairpin to wrap it up.

Cai Xueyan's words were still in his ears, and he shook his head trying to drive those thoughts away.She opened the dowry, and saw some cosmetics in two glazed boxes, these were sent by the concubine, and they were also used in the palace.I took a thin hairpin and picked it up a little, and flung it away in my hand, feeling a little astringent, and couldn't let it go.She doesn't always like to use these things.Not only did she think that none of her powders were prepared by Baoyu, and none of them were better than those bought in the market.Now that he still does this, I'm afraid Sister Bao will block it, maybe he should change his mind and pick up those stereotyped articles.

Daiyu slowly put the powder case back to its original place without thinking about it.He picked out two more things from the box, a string of incense beads and a magnolia flower hairpin made of suet and white jade.Daiyu stared at the hairpin in a daze for a long time.She hurriedly took out the inkstone inkstone again, and carefully looked at the picture engraved on the inkstone. The water waves, mountain peaks, and clouds contained the two lines of the poem "Once the sea was too difficult for water, except for Wushan "cloud", Daiyu stroked the deep and shallow engravings on it carefully, warm and moist, and couldn't help but recall what happened on the Lantern Festival again, feeling annoyed and ashamed in her heart.He is a prince, how could he disregard his own face, he shouldn't be so rash.

When Daiyu was silently dazed, Dunhui came in hurriedly: "Sister Lin, you see we are all done, come and let me dye it for you, okay?"

Daiyu hurriedly evaded: "The kindness of the princess can't be tolerated by the daughters of the people, please forgive this experience."

Dunhui was playing hard, so how could she forgive her? She begged again and again, and Daiyu reluctantly agreed.Dunhui excitedly picked up some flower juice with a hairpin and applied it on Daiyu's nails, while Xueyan became a guide beside: "It's wrong for the princess to apply it like this, you should use this leaf to cover it."

Dun Hui said: "You pack it."

Xueyan hurriedly asked her elder brother and little girl to bring a lot of fresh hemp leaves, and Feiyu helped untangle the cotton thread, Xueyan bent her knees, and carefully wrapped the nails painted with flower juice with the hemp leaves, Then I took the cotton thread and tied it several times like wrapping a zongzi.

Daiyu said: "You wrap it like this, how can I eat and write?"

Xueyan said with a smile: "Girl, don't worry, it will take half a day. It won't delay your eating and writing at all."

After finally wrapping the ten onion-like nails, Dun Hui felt very accomplished, this was the first time she did these.Inadvertently sneezed twice again, Xiulan said: "Could it be that the princess has caught a cold, it's time to go back and add clothes."

How could Dunhui listen to these words, besides, when she was playing, she was most afraid of being nagged by the people next to her.She couldn't wait to dye it herself, so she asked Xueyan to do it for herself.Daiyu was afraid that Dunhui would be frozen, so she winked and asked Hanyan to bring clothes for Dunhui to put on.

Nanny Qin said: "The princess is still so naughty, the prince asked the princess to learn to read and write, and messed with these things. I'm afraid the prince will not be happy."

Dun Hui made a face at Nanny Qin, and said nonchalantly: "My brother doesn't care about these things in the boudoir, and if my brother doesn't say anything, I can't make me tired. Those who learn those things every day are the yamen. Here, there is still a rest day in the school. Didn’t Cheng’er go to study in the palace, maybe brother let me study in the palace too.”

Qin Nanny shook her head, thinking that if the concubine was still there, she would have to worry about seeing the princess like this.Dunhui just thought it was fun, and after finishing it, she rushed to make some flower juice and sent it to Yiyuan's sister-in-law, she would not enjoy the good things alone.

After Dunhui left, the room suddenly became quiet, and she was really not used to doing anything with such a layer of leaves wrapped around her nails.I took a book and turned two pages but couldn't read it.After sitting for a while, I felt a little bored, and when I was about to move around, when I passed the ear room, I heard Xueyan and Hanyan arguing about something, and when I was about to go in and have a look, I heard Xueyan ask: "Who did you listen to say these things?" If there is nothing in the first place, why do you want to create these rumors, if the people in that room know, I don’t know how they will cry.”

Daiyu was stunned, the "person in that room" that Xueyan said was not herself, she stopped her steps to understand.At this time, I heard Han Yan say loudly: "I didn't say these words. It was spread outside, saying that our girl went to the prince's small study and never came out. I told them, but I didn't believe anything. They said they saw it with their own eyes. If the rascals don’t bring such things, don’t we know that we stay by the girl’s side every day.”

Xueyan said angrily: "Those people have bad intentions. They can't see that the prince is kind to our girl, and they have everything to say. Our girl will not belittle herself. Unless the prince comes to marry with three matchmakers and six certificates, I think it will be fine." .”

Han Yan immediately smiled and said: "Sister Xueyan's words are so unreasonable. Those who want three matchmakers and six certificates are not married to the main house. How can these be used. If the prince wants to make the girl a side concubine, it is just a matter of talking to the Queen Mother. One sound, wait for the Queen Mother to nod, kowtow to the front, and perform a home gift, and it will be over. There is so much extravagance and waste."

Seeing that Han Yan was right, Xue Yan secretly complained to her girl, why did she come here to be a child.Even if he is the prince, there is nothing to be surprised about, so he asked Han Yan: "Who said the prince wants to make the girl a side concubine?"

Han Yan sneered and said, "It's been rumored outside, but sister Xueyan hasn't heard of it?"

Daiyu's heart was startled by the smokey words, and when she contacted those rumors again, she felt a little unsteady.A gust of wind blew, and he couldn't help coughing, which startled everyone in the room even though it didn't matter.Daiyu hurried away.

Xueyan asked in surprise, "Who is outside?"

No one answered outside, Xue Yan and Han Yan said in a panic, "You must not let the girl hear these words, if she knows, it will be fine."

Hanyan nodded quickly.Xueyan hastily pushed open the threshold, but saw no one.I thought to myself, could it be that the girl stood here just now, and she listened to the conversation between the two of them.After all, she was worried, she hurried to the room here, but saw Daiyu sitting under the window, silently looking at the green banana leaves under the steps.

Xueyan didn't let Daiyu see anything, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "What do you want to eat today, girl, just tell me to go to the kitchen."

Daiyu didn't answer Xueyan's words, she sat for a while and suddenly said: "Being a master and leaving a slave, you can love or hate at your own will, gossip, gossip, go to the forbidden court, this scholar can worry about it."

Xueyan didn't understand what Daiyu said at all, and thought she was reciting a book, but she didn't know that what Daiyu said was the words in the history book.However, Xueyan has been with Daiyu for ten years, so she can understand her emotional changes, and wonders if what she and Hanyan said just now was overheard.It's not easy to ask right now.

Daiyu thought for a while and said to Xueyan: "How many bodies have we saved?"

Xueyan hurriedly said, "Young lady, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Daiyu said, "Go and have a look."

Xueyan had no choice but to open the cupboard, found a small official suitcase, opened it, and found that it was full of odds and ends accumulated over the years.Wrapped in a piece of red silk are some scattered silver, and there are two silver ingots and some gold and silver locks in the box.I estimated it once and said to Daiyu: "Maybe there are more than ten or twenty taels."

Daiyu said, "Why do these things happen?"

Xueyan hurriedly asked: "What is the use of the money for the girl?"

Daiyu didn't answer, she came over and looked through the contents of the box, took out a pair of tourmaline bracelets with a lot of water, and handed them to Xueyan: "Take this, find a reliable person, and take it to Xueyan. Go or pawn it, or sell it, and exchange it for two dollars."

Xueyan stayed for a while, thinking that her girl was not in debt, and she was not waiting for the money to be used, so why was she so anxious.
