Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

Chapter 16: The Daughter's Chant

The ever-changing court has nothing to do with Daiyu. After lunch, Daiyu lay quietly on the bed, squinting her eyes, and the breeze outside the window made the bamboo leaves rustle occasionally.

Unable to fall asleep for a while, Daiyu couldn't help but turned sideways, and heard Zijuan and Xueyan whispering in the outer room, mentioning "Baoyu" and "Girl" from time to time, Daiyu couldn't help opening her eyes, and gently Coughing softly, Zijuan gently lifted the curtain and came in, saying: "Girl, you're awake."

Daiyu straightened up slowly, and said, "Go and pour me a glass of water." After drinking the water, Daiyu handed the cup to Zijuan, and said calmly, "Zijuan, tell me, if you have anything to hide, I."

Zijuan was startled, and then hurriedly said: "It's okay, I was just chatting with Xueyan just now." Daiyu looked at Zijuan, her clear eyes were unquestionably firm, and said slowly: "Zijuan , your eyes can't fool me, no matter what happens, don't you believe me. "

Zijuan lowered her head and whispered: "Xueyan heard the girl in the old lady's room muttering. The old lady said that when the second master gets married, she will also find someone for the girl and marry the girl, so she can feel at ease."

Zijuan was worried that she would make Daiyu sad if she said it, but she didn't want to, but she saw Daiyu smiled slightly, and said calmly: "It is very common for men to get married and women to marry. Why should you hide it?" Look at me, maybe you want me to live in Xiaoxiang Pavilion for the rest of my life."

Zijuan couldn't help being stunned. She didn't expect that Daiyu, who is usually sentimental and sentimental, would say these words so calmly. I'm afraid it was an ironic statement from Daiyu in a moment of anger, and she couldn't help saying: "Girl..."

Daiyu sighed lightly, and said: "Second sister is married, Baoyu is married, and it is my turn to be next. I have lived in Jia's house for seven years, and now my parents are not here, so naturally the old lady is in charge. I will die of old age in Jia's family all my life, silly girl, what are you worried about?"

Zijuan murmured: "I'm just worried about the girl. I'm afraid that she won't be able to figure it out for a while. After all, we have lived together for so many years..." Daiyu looked at Zijuan and said, "Sometimes in life, there must be time, and there is no time in life." Don't force it, Zicuckoo, you can't help it."

Seeing Daiyu talking calmly, Zijuan couldn't help letting go of her gripping heart, and said: "Young girl can think so, and we girls can rest assured. Girl, since you're awake, let's go for a walk, outside. The sun is just right."

Daiyu leaned down gently, and said slowly: "You go out first, I will squint for a while." Seeing that the beige curtain returned to its original shape after Zijuan left, Daiyu relaxed indifferently When she got down, she couldn't help but shed tears down her fat-skinned face.

The warm sunshine from the west makes people feel lazy.Daiyu and Zicuckoo walked slowly along the stone path. From time to time, withered and yellow fallen leaves would fall leisurely, picking up a slender leaf. Daiyu faced the sun, and the veined leaves appeared transparent in the sunlight. Yu sighed softly: "Flowers bloom and wither, leaves are green and yellow, no one can stop them, birth, old age, sickness and death, gathering and separation, no one can get rid of it."

Zijuan stared at Daiyu in a daze, and suddenly heard Tanchun's voice: "Sister Lin." Looking back, she saw Tanchun coming from the corridor over there with his servant book.

Daiyu came back to her senses, and said softly: "Where did the third sister come from?" Tan Chun looked worried, and said in a low voice: "I just came from the old lady, and I heard the old lady talk about the body of the empress in the palace. Just when she was worried, the old lady said that the empress had lost a lot of weight, and when she saw the old lady and the others, tears suddenly fell down."

Daiyu understood, and said softly: "If you feel unwell occasionally, don't worry about the third younger sister, there is an imperial doctor in the palace, I think she will recover soon."

Tanchun sighed, raised his hand and picked a small plain white flower beside him, held it in his hand, and said, "I hope it's like my sister said, 'When the Houmen enters, it's as deep as the sea'. I have been in the palace for more than ten years, and it is rare to see my relatives on weekdays, and only on such a day can I talk to the old lady and the others to comfort my mind."

Thinking of her own thoughts, Daiyu couldn't help but feel sad, and said: "There are 3000 beauties in the harem, how many people can achieve the '[-] pampers in one body', and they all see the glory of the empress, but who knows what's behind it?" suffering."

Tan Chunxiu eyebrows like, said: "Sister Lin, you think too much, born a woman, marrying no one is three wives and four concubines, the empress is lucky to be an imperial concubine, if you are like the second sister, you will be even more lucky. Poor... It's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise I wouldn't have lost to big brother and the others."

Looking at Tanchun's fascinated expression, Daiyu couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that we are all daughters, so we can't help ourselves..." As she was speaking, she saw a little girl running over in a hurry, and said to Tanchun, "Third Miss, Hurry up and persuade the fourth girl, she is holding the scissors to twist her hair."

Daiyu and Tanchun looked at each other in surprise, and Tanchun said, "Don't panic, tell me what's going on." The little girl said out of breath, "Third Miss, go quickly, you'll understand when you arrive, it's late It's too late."

Tanchun glanced at Daiyu, and Daiyu said: "Let's go together." After speaking, the two hurried to Liaofengxuan. On the way, the little girl briefly explained what happened.

But Xichun rested in the afternoon and felt lazy, so she leaned against the bed, squinted her eyes to rest her mind, but the girl greeted her: "Girl, grandma is here." After talking with Youshi, Youshi never came to Liaofengxuan again, and I don't know why he came today.

Although he was reluctant, Xichun hurriedly stood up and greeted him, but You Shi didn't have the slightest grievances before, he took Xichun's hand affectionately and said: "Is my sister resting?"

Xichun said indifferently: "Just got up, my body is a little tired, and I'm recuperating on my side." Youshi smiled and said: "When I was a girl, my body was delicate, and I don't have such leisure time when I get married."

Sitting down with him, Youshi looked at Xichun and said with a smile: "Your brother cares about you, let me come and take a look." Xichun said coldly: "I'm fine, let him rest assured."

Youshi heard this, shook his head with a smile and said: "Listen, it's not a joke to let outsiders hear it. Those who know it are fine. Those who don't know it think it's how different you are. After all, you are from there. Seeing that he is getting bigger, he will go back sooner or later."

Xichun sneered and said: "I'm not going back. I said last time that the backside of that side is so unbearably arranged. If I go back, it will be arranged for me too. Besides, the old lady will also be arranged. Say, just let me live here."

Youshi laughed again angrily, took it easy, and said: "My aunt, no matter how nice this place is, you are not close to me. Your brother told me about it a while ago. Seeing that you are getting older, the time you met outside I am a child of a noble family, he is good-looking, has a good temperament, and he is not married by chance, so he is comparable to you, so I want to find a relative for you."

When Xichun heard this, she became anxious, and said: "I don't want to marry, I'll go to the old lady." Youshi laughed and said: "My sister is wrong, the male college should be married, and the female college should be married, even the old lady can't." Stop it."

Xichun's face turned pale with anger, and she said anxiously: "If you force me to marry, I might as well have my hair twisted and become my sister-in-law." As she said that, she really looked for scissors everywhere, clamoring to twist her hair.

The little girl next to her came over to stop her in a panic, and Youshi was angry and anxious, and said, "You four girls, what can I say, your brother and I are doing it for your own good, but you just don't appreciate it. , still like this..."

Suddenly the room was in chaos, Xichun saw the girl stopped her, so she had to sit on the edge of the bed and began to cry, Youshi was also sighing and muttering, when Tanchun and Daiyu came in, they happened to see this scene.
