Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

The sky gradually brightened, Wang Momo and Xueyan breathed a long sigh of relief, Daiyu's blushing little face had returned to a faint blush, and it was even more beautiful against the picturesque eyebrows.

Serving Daiyu to wash and comb, Xueyan told Daiyu what happened last night in detail, and said: "Girl, you don't know how nervous I was with the nanny at that time. We were in the wilderness. Where can I find a doctor? I'm afraid that the girl will have a problem." At any rate, thanks to Mr. Jia, he came up with such an idea, the doctor looked like an unusual person, and after taking a dose of medicine, the girl recovered."

Daiyu said softly: "Mother, the Lin family is also a family of poets and writers, so we should thank them well." Mother Wang said, "Yes, Mr. Jia said it, and I will go to thank him in person later."

Daiyu turned her head and said, "Nurse, since you are treating me, it is only natural that I should go, right?" Grandma Wang said, "The girl is just in good shape, don't go out to enjoy the cool breeze, and besides, she is young , but the Lin family is also a big family, so it is not common sense to show up in public."

Daiyu thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "Just Yima, Xueyan." After calling Xueyan, Daiyu gave a few instructions in a low voice, Xueyan nodded repeatedly, and said, "Okay, I'll go tell Jia right now. gentlemen."

After a while, Xueyan came back with a smile, and said to Daiyu: "Mr. praised the girl, saying that she is thoughtful at such a young age." Daiyu smiled lightly, then tilted her head to look at Mother Wang, and said softly: "Mommy, I've been in the cabin all night, and I feel a bit stuffy. Let's go to the back cabin to take a breath later. Mommy, you agree, there are no outsiders anyway." Xueyan smiled: "That's right, Jiang Mian The scenery on the road is beautiful, mammy, tidy up, let's go out to get some fresh air together."

Wang Momo shook her head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Forget it, you can be more free here now. When you come to your grandparents' house, the big family, there will be more rules. The girl is young, and it is the father who loves her mother." I can't bear to think about it, and I don't know what the master thinks." Hearing what Wang Momo said, and thinking of the days when she lived alone in a foreign land, Daiyu couldn't help but look a little helpless and sad. A drop of clear tears crumbling.

But it is said that Jia Yucun followed Daiyu's instructions and brought his servants closer to the big ship. It happened that the young man was on the deck last night. Yucun explained his future intentions. Anyone who is away from home has no difficulties, and it is nothing to worry about."

Yucun is a person who can speak and is clever, besides, he has been an official before, and he knows quite a lot about official affairs. Seeing the other party's ostentation and extraordinary bearing, he must not be an ordinary person, and from the meaning revealed by the guards and words, it seems The official status of middle-aged people will never be low, so there is naturally a flattering look in the words, and said: "You are welcome, the old saying goes, 'The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring', besides what happened last night, the young master It’s really a timely gift, otherwise, Xiao Ke doesn’t know what to do. Our girl is also very grateful for the great kindness, and it’s inconvenient to come to thank her in person, so she asked Xiaoke to come over. The girl said, the big kindness is not thanked, and gold and silver are vulgar things, for fear of blasphemy The master and the young master are elegant people, so I asked Xiao Ke to send this Duan inkstone from Yangzhou to express our feelings, and please don't let me see you."

The young man smiled slightly, and his light blue long gown with arrow sleeves further complemented his innate nobleness at such a young age. His gestures and gestures naturally revealed a kind of everyone's demeanor. Looking at Yucun, he said: " It's just that Mr. is out of touch, didn't I say that you don't need to worry about it, well, I accept your girl's kindness, and there is no need for Duanyan."

Yucun has long admired the other party's noble status, and thought that by taking advantage of today's incident, he might be able to climb a little bit, and it would be beneficial to his career in the future. Being ungrateful made Yucun a little embarrassed for a while, thinking of Xueyan's words, Yucun thought for a while, and said again: "Sir, don't be surprised, my girl said when she came here, it's our intention to thank you, and it's your lord to accept it or not. I have already delivered the Duanyan, if you don’t want to accept it, then I can’t do it, but this makes my girl feel uneasy and feels guilty.”

Looking up at the young man, seeing a slight softening on his face, Yucun continued, relying on his sharp tongue, "Xiao Ke is a reader, and my girl has also been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child. Knowing that there is a principle of repaying favors, besides, the master and the young master are not ordinary people, this Fang Duan inkstone is the treasure of the former dynasty, and only people like the young master can be worthy of it, if it falls into the hands of ignorant people, it will be a waste of money."

The young man turned his head, gave Yucun a cold look, and said, "What's your name? It's a shame to be a gentleman." Seeing what he said, Yucun was overjoyed, ignoring the sarcasm in his words, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Ke Jia Yucun, used to be a Jinshi, this time I went to the capital to seek employment."

The young man waved his hand and said to the book boy beside him: "Since it is someone's good intention, it seems that we are unreasonable if we don't accept it, and let down the good words of the master. Lu Er, take it."

Turning around, the young man's clear eyes showed a bit of coldness, and he said: "Sir, if you become a lobbyist, you will definitely be able to achieve a great career. It's a pity that your girl is originally so elegant, but what you said like this has turned into a slap in the face." It's too vulgar. Sir, please go back, I have accepted the things. Guards, prepare to set sail." After speaking, he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Yucun was a little disappointed. Seeing what the young man said, he had to leave resentfully, but he felt sorry for Fang Duanyan, which was a rare calligraphy. If Daiyu hadn't ordered it, he would have kept it for his own use. , Maybe it can bring some turning points for myself, but who knows that the bamboo basket fetches water in vain. Seeing the boy's appearance just now, he might have thrown it away in a blink of an eye. A rare treasure was wasted, and after another thought, he said to himself He said to himself: "Never mind him, anyway, it's not mine at all."

Wearing a long white embroidered dress and lotus-colored double-breasted jacket, Daiyu and Xueyan walked out of the back cabin, and breathed a deep sigh of relief. Daiyu gently closed her eyes and said, "It tastes really good early in the morning. There is also a faint fragrance of weeds." Xue Yan smiled and said: "Yes, it is much better than being bored in the cabin. Girl, let's stay outside for a while."

Mother Wang said on the side: "I just know how to play. The girl's body is just right and she can't blow the cool wind. I'll go back to the cabin in a while." , I have to listen to Mama." Turning her head to look at the blue and rippling river, the early morning wind blew over her face with a coolness, making Daiyu shiver.

Seeing this, Wang Momo said softly: "Girl, you are breathless, your body is just right, the river is cool, you should go back earlier." Daiyu smiled lightly, and said softly: "Mom, I know Now, look, I'm already wearing jackets, so let me stay for a while."

The snow geese on one side made a fuss and said: "Miss, look, the wild geese are flying south." Daiyu looked up and saw a group of wild geese flying by leisurely. Jiang Shanghan, my family is Xiangshuiqu, far away from Chu Yun..."

A boat passed by slowly, a young man on the deck was leaning on the railing, his clear and bright eyes were leisurely looking at the passing river, the passing boat, with a handsome face with a smile on his face. A look of indifference.

Along with the faint sound of the wind, there was a faint sigh, "The country is full of tears, and the lonely sail looks at the sky..." The young man's heart couldn't help being stunned, and he couldn't help leaning out to see a passenger ship passing by. On the deck, a girl who looked like a maid was holding the hand of a girl in lotus root clothes beside her and looked over with a smile, her eyes suddenly met, and there seemed to be a rainbow rising from the youthful and naive heart. The faint smile and the watery eyes are so intoxicating, yet they are somewhat indescribably familiar, as if they have seen it somewhere, or have been looking for it for many years, whether it is in a dream, or in...

In just a moment, the two boats passed by each other. The young man couldn't help but look back, but saw that slender figure still standing gracefully on the deck. Going away, in his mind, a poem could not help appearing in the boy's heart: "The reeds are green, the white dew is frost, there is a beautiful woman, on the side of the water..."
