Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

The two-masted boat was driving hurriedly on the river, and Daiyu couldn't help raising the curtain, watching the boats passing by the villages and towns in a hurry, remembering that she would leave her hometown in the future and live in that strange big family in a different place, she couldn't help feeling sentimental. With a trace of loneliness, the expression on Qingling's face involuntarily darkened.

Unconsciously, a few days have passed, and this day coincides with the heavy rain, the autumn dew and the cold weather, and the boat is moored in a remote town at night.Because of the cold during the day, Mother Wang and Xueyan helped Daiyu to lie down early, and lit a dream sweet fragrance. Xueyan dimmed the lantern and tightened Daiyu's quilt. Mammy backed away quietly.

Walking outside the cabin, Xueyan worriedly said: "Mama, the girl has been weak since she was young, and the cool wind blows again during the day, it is important to see the situation." Mama Wang sighed: "I hope to wake up tomorrow morning, The girl will be fine, actually, I'm also worried, it's all your fault, you little hoof, for pushing the girl out."

Xueyan said: "I was also worried that the girl would be bored, so I persuaded her to come out and have a look. Who would have thought that would be like this? If I knew, I wouldn't dare to let the girl come out even if I was killed. I hope the girl is in good fortune, mother, maybe it is what we are worried about." Too much, girl is fine." Wang Momo said, "I hope it's like what you said."

Looking up at a big four-masted ship moored not far away, brightly lit and majestic, with guards walking up and down the barn from time to time, Snow Goose said quietly: "Mother, look at how magnificent that ship is, Compared with them, our boat is shabby." Wang Momo said angrily: "What do children know, don't talk too much, go back and take care of the girl."

Angrily leaving the snow geese, Wang Momo couldn't help looking at the big ship, but saw that although the lights were bright on it, the voices of people were silent. The official ship of the rank officer shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, and Wang Momo said to herself: "It doesn't matter what rank he is, and I don't care about my old lady's business. I really have nothing to do and think about it."

Not long after returning to the cabin, Wang Momo was awakened by the fussy cries of the snow geese, and hurried in and said, "Mom, go and see the girl, I tried it just now, and my forehead is hot. It's scary." Wang Momo was startled, the drowsiness that had just come up suddenly disappeared, she fumbled to get dressed, and followed the snow geese to Daiyu's room.

Under the dim light, Daiyu was lying there quietly sleeping, the pink bed curtain hanging down, being blown by the wind brought in by the cabin door from time to time.Wang Momo said to Xueyan: "You daredevil, first close the cabin door tightly, and be careful not to let in the cold wind."

After finishing the order, Wang Momo quietly stretched out her hand to touch Daiyu's forehead. As Xueyan said, Daiyu's body was hot. She took a closer look with the lamp and saw that Daiyu's cheeks were red and her brows were slightly frowning. The thin red lips were pale, and Mother Wang's hand holding the lamp couldn't help but tremble.

Xueyan said eagerly: "Grandmother, think of a way quickly, what should we do now." Grandma Wang rubbed her hands and said, "Young lady, this is caused by the cold during the day, so you won't be able to reach the village in front of you, and you won't be able to stay behind. shop, where can I find a doctor?"

Xueyan said: "Then what should I do? I can't just watch the girl suffer." After all, Wang Momo thought about it for a while and said to Xueyan: "Go and tell Mr. Jia that the girl is sick and ask him to help. Think of a way, Mr. Jia has seen the world and read a lot of books, he is better than those of us who can't read, and he will definitely come up with a way."

Xueyan hurriedly ran to the front cabin, Wang Momo calmed down for a while, first dipped the silk scarf with cold water, wiped Daiyu's face carefully, and prayed secretly: Miss, you must be fine, ma'am Such a good person will definitely keep you safe and sound.

After a while, Xueyan came back and said: "I have already told Mr. Jia that he is trying to figure out a way, and he asked us to guard the girl first." Mother Wang said: "In this case, come and help me wipe the girl's forehead .” Xueyan hurriedly squatted down lightly, and got busy wholeheartedly.

But Jia Yucun in the front cabin was also pacing up and down anxiously in the room. What Xueyan said just now made Jia Yucun who was dreaming sweetly feel relieved. It's over, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no, never give up.

Looking up and looking outside the cabin, Jia Yucun couldn't help but walk out. Looking up, he saw that the lights on the big boat opposite were still shining, and there were occasional voices. He squinted his eyes in thought, and suddenly a gleam of light and a smile flashed in front of Yucun's eyes. Thoughts floated on his square face.

Jia Yucun is a person who can talk, and he has worked hard to contribute to his own future, and finally persuaded the soldiers guarding the big ship to report for him.After a while, the soldier said: "Sir, please come in, my grandfather wants to see you."

Jia Yucun walked in with the guards, and saw that the spacious cabin was very grandly furnished, with a sandalwood plan in the middle, and several small tables on each side, and purple soft chairs lined up on both sides.

At this time, there were only three people in front of the cabin case, and the one sitting in the middle was an imposing middle-aged man. Although he was dressed in plain clothes, Yucun couldn't help taking a deep breath with his natural majesty, and couldn't help it. The first section short.

Opposite the middle-aged man sat a teenager in his teens, with clear eyes and an extraordinary demeanor at a young age. At this moment, he was staring at the chessboard in front of him with his brows furrowed. He only glanced at Yucun's arrival. There was a self-proclaimed arrogance in his eyes, and a servant who looked like a servant stood quietly at the side, carefully watching Yucun who came in.

Although Jia Yucun is poor, he is also a person who has seen the world. After seeing the ceremony first, he added fuel and vinegar to explain his future intentions, and finally said: "Xiao Ke really had no choice but to make such a bad plan to bother the master and young master Qingxiu. Please forgive me if I offend you." Thinking that if something happened to Daiyu, he would lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yucun couldn't help but worry and sadness welled up on his face.

The middle-aged man silently glanced at Jia Yucun, thought for a while, and then gently said to the young man in front of him, "Qing'er, if this happened to you, what would you do?" The young man raised his head, his clear eyes swept across After looking at Yucun on one side, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "Father, my son, go out and have a look first, and then make a decision."

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, and said, "As you wish." The boy hurried out of the front cabin, walked in again after a while, and said to the middle-aged man, "Father, I have already asked the guards outside and said that I will see you in the evening." But what the gentleman said is that there are female relatives on the boat, and my child has seen their boat from a distance, it is just an ordinary boat, I think what this person said is true, and if this is the case, my child thinks that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda . . . "

The middle-aged man was pleased to listen to the young man's talk, nodded from time to time, and said with a smile: "Well, this matter will be handled by you, but Qing'er, if you have forgotten something, why don't you inquire about it?" The origin of the master."

The young man smiled and said: "Since ancient times, we have drawn our swords to help each other. Helping the needy and the needy is what a man does. Since you have already decided to help each other, why bother to inquire about other people's backgrounds?"

The middle-aged man laughed loudly, and said: "You boy, you have a more chivalrous and free-spirited heart than your father. It's a pity that you were born in the palace, otherwise there would be one more chivalrous man who will help the crisis. However," the middle-aged The man said in a low voice: "It is necessary to be on guard against others, the world is unpredictable, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Qing'er, you should be more careful when you encounter things in the future."

The young man couldn't help laughing, and said in a low voice, "Thank you father for teaching me, I understand." The handsome and handsome figure that has gradually grown up made Yucun, who was silent on the sidelines, couldn't help secretly praising him, and he heard the middle-aged man Said that he was born in the palace, Yucun couldn't help flashing a look of awe on his face.

Bringing the doctor back to the boat, Yucun asked Xueyan to invite the doctor to the Daiyu cabin. After a while, the doctor came out and said to Yucun: "The girl just got a cold, and she was anxious, which caused her high fever and caused her to die. No serious problem, just take some decoction and rest for a while, and you will be cured."

Yucun was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It's time for you, doctor, please go to the cabin and have a cup of tea for a rest." The doctor smiled and said: "No need, here is the wilderness, there is no place to grab medicine, you send someone to follow me back to the boat Get the medicine, thanks to the preparations on board."

Yucun panicked and said: "Thank you very much. I will thank you when my daughter is well." The doctor smiled lightly and said, "It is the duty of a doctor to save the dying and heal the wounded. Sir, if you want to thank me, please thank my master and son. Well, I'm just following orders."

Yucun said: "It must be." Then he changed to a young man who was following him, gave a few instructions in a low voice, and followed the doctor on board the boat.
