Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

Zijuan looked at Daiyu with a pale face, the hand holding the cup couldn't help trembling, and said in a low voice: "Girl, why did this happen, what should I do?"

Daiyu's complexion was not much better, and she barely propped up her somewhat soft body by the book case, and slowly looked at the mess outside, her mind suddenly brightened, and she remembered what Jiamu said that day, Only then did I suddenly understand Jia Mu's foresight, and before I knew it, my beating heart gradually calmed down, and she sighed softly, saying: "What else can I do, just wait and see what happens, in fact, the old lady has thought of this for a long time. One step, but there is nothing we can do."

Lowering her head, her eyes fell on the note on the desk, and then, as if remembering something, she hurried to the bedside and tucked the small note under the pillow into the cloud sleeve, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Zijuan said in a trembling voice, "Girl..." Daiyu waved her hands and said, "Misfortunes and fortunes are impermanent, let everything take its course."

While the two were talking, someone from outside had already barged in and said loudly: "By the order of Prince Bei and Prince Zhongshun, the female relatives have been moved to the back hall of Rongguo Mansion for custody. Someone, escort them there."

Daiyu shook Zijuan's trembling hand, looked at Zijuan with clear eyes, and said calmly, "Zijuan, go and bring me the long coat."

Zijuan turned her head and glanced at the eager soldiers outside the door curtain, and carefully helped Daiyu put on her long robe.

Turning her head to look at everything she was familiar with, Daiyu said softly, "Zicuckoo. Let's go." After speaking, she turned and walked in front.

Looking at Daiyu, who is as quiet as water, Zijuan seems to have never really known the girl he has served for seven years until now. Under her weak body, facing the catastrophe, that calm look, that A detached indifference that is not humiliating is a demeanor that a maid who is herself will never be able to achieve.

Stepping forward to hold Daiyu's slender hand, Zijuan felt that she was no longer flustered and afraid as before, and looked coldly at the dull soldiers around, Zijuan said quietly: "Miss, be careful where you step."

Turning her head and giving Zijuan an encouraging look, Daiyu nodded lightly, imperceptibly there was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Walking out of the room, she saw all kinds of soldiers outside. She was used to the life of a boudoir where the door was never left, and Daiyu couldn't help lowering her head, and gently used her cloud sleeves to cover the astonished voices from around her. , Envious eyes.

"Girl, girl, are you alright?" Wang Momo stumbled up, her messy hair was no longer as natural as usual, Daiyu said softly, "Mommy, don't worry, I'm fine, Xueyan and the others are fine."

Wang Momo said in a panic: "The old lady doesn't know, I was doing needlework in the room, and they broke in..." Daiyu sighed lightly, and said: "I can't care about so much now, let's go .”

Walking out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zijuan saw the noise and noise in the quiet Grand View Garden on weekdays. From time to time, there were soldiers walking around, and occasionally ran into maids and women from other places. No one dared to make a sound in the Imperial Guard.

Turning around the Chuihua Gate, a soldier behind stepped forward to stop the three of them, pointed to Zijuan and Wang Momo and said: "You two go to the left wing, the guards in the back hall are the family members of the mansion."

The three of them were taken aback, and Zijuan hurriedly said: "I am the maidservant of the girl, I will be there wherever the master is." Wang Momo also defended beside her.

The young soldier sneered and said, "Master? The Jia's house has been confiscated by the Holy Majesty. What are you talking about, master? Now everyone is waiting for a crime. It's uncertain whether they can save their lives."

The older man glared at his companion, and said sternly: "We are also following orders, let's go." Zijuan also wanted to say, Daiyu gently stepped forward and took Zijuan's hand, looked at Zijuan and Wang Mo Momo glanced at her and said in a low voice: "Zicuckoo, Momo, go ahead and take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, she said to the soldiers on the side: "They are just servants, please don't make things difficult for them."

The Imperial Guard escorted by Daiyu was overwhelmed by Daiyu's quiet demeanor, and couldn't help saying respectfully: "Don't worry, girl, please." Turning to look at Zijuan and Wang Momo who were standing there blankly, Daiyu turned around, Jue Ran walked forward, her slender body seemed to be flying away with the wind due to the fluttering skirts.

Dazed for a moment, Zijuan suddenly knelt down on the ground, and said to the guarding soldiers: "Master, please, let me go with the girl, the girl is still sick, if you can't hold on...Mr. I beg you."

The guarding soldiers did not expect this girl to be so stubborn, but they were a little moved, and said helplessly: "We are just following orders, you should go quickly."

Zijuan didn't give up, and continued: "Master, please do me a favor, I'll kowtow to you." After finishing speaking, she kowtowed non-stop, without any hesitation that the thick dust on the ground knocked her forehead out. The slightest bruises turned red, and Mother Wang also begged.

Hearing the movement, Daiyu turned her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and then said sharply: "Zicuckoo, if you still treat me as a girl, get up quickly, otherwise I won't have your girl."

Zijuan glanced at Daiyu, then continued to kowtow to the soldiers in front of her. When everyone was shouting, she saw a man who looked like an officer approaching, and asked sharply, "What's going on?"

The previous soldier said: "Go back to the army, it's this girl..." Zijuan had an idea, and said quickly and dexterously: "Master Hui Jun, my girl is sick, and I beg you to let me follow you."

The officer glanced at Daiyu not far away who seemed about to be blown away by the wind, then at Zijuan who was kneeling on the ground, and then said in a loud voice: "Prince Bei has ordered you not to embarrass the female family members of Jia's mansion, you all understand ."

Hearing this, Zijuan said happily, "Thank you, sir." He kowtowed again, got up and ran towards Daiyu. let's go."

Seeing Zijuan running over, with some bruises on the sideburns of some disheveled hair, Daiyu couldn't help but angrily said: "You silly girl, why bother."

Zijuan smiled and said: "Zicuckoo is always serving the girl, and Zijuan will go wherever the girl goes." Daiyu smiled bitterly, and said softly: "Let's go."
