Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

Turning around a few flower corridors, I came to the gate of Yihong Courtyard unknowingly, and saw that the door of Yihong Courtyard, which was usually open, was closed tightly. Zijuan couldn't help feeling angry, and stretched out her hand just as she wanted to go. Knock on the door, but heard the attacker shouting loudly: "You hold the second master quickly." Hearing the panic and people coming and going, Baoyu cried, "I'm going to ask the old lady , let the empress take back the decree, I don't want any deceitful 'golden jade marriage'."

Zicuckoo was taken aback for a moment, then retracted her outstretched hand, and stood there quietly, Daiyu's pale and desperate expression flashed before her eyes, she must have just realized what Baoyu said just now, and when she was thinking, she screamed sharply. The voice interrupted Zicuckoo's thoughts: "Second Master, wake up, Yi's decree is changed as soon as it is said to be changed. Resisting the decree is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and everyone will be executed. Don't you have the heart to let the old lady, the wife Follow along with the burden, Second Master, you just give up."

Zijuan only heard a splash, and then the servant girls shouted anxiously: "Second Master, Second Master." It was Musk Moon's voice vaguely: "What are you still doing in a daze, help Second Master back to the room quickly, my wife ordered, take care of yourself." Take care, remember, don't let the second master out of the yard."

The chaotic voice gradually faded away, Zijuan turned around slowly, and was about to leave when she heard Baoyu's hysterical cry from Yihong Courtyard: "Sister Lin..."

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zijuan walked back slowly, looked up and saw Xueyan standing at the door, looking anxiously, saw Zijuan coming back, Xueyan ran up quietly, and whispered: "Sister Zijuan , why did you come back, you really scared me to death just now." Zijuan was startled, and said: "What's the matter, girl."

Xueyan whispered in her ear: "Not long after you left, the girl coughed up, coughing up a big mouthful of pus and blood..." Zijuan said: "It's okay, what's going on now, why don't you stay guarding inside."

Xueyan said: "After she coughed up, the girl got better. She even drank some water and told me that she felt much better. The heart that was suspended before finally settled down. She no longer had to worry about it all day long, and her complexion also slowed down. It’s slowly changed, and now it’s resting inside.”

Zijuan let out a long breath of relief, and said: "That's good, the girl's body is always up and down because she thinks about this on weekdays, but now she has settled down all of a sudden, although it is sad for a while, but as long as you think about it Once it clears up, the body will gradually heal, but how can I let go of all these years of worry, I don't feel at ease, let's go in and have a look.

Walking into the room, Zijuan saw that it was quiet inside, so she quietly opened the curtain, and saw Daiyu lying there with her back, her slender body curled up in one place, which made Zijuan's nose sore.

During the seven years they have been together, Zijuan knows that although Daiyu is petty and often loses her temper, Daiyu has never regarded herself as a real person. In terms of food, clothing and expenses, as long as she handles it herself, she has never had the slightest doubt. At first, Zijuan was just an insignificant second-class girl with Jiamu, but since serving Daiyu, she has not only become a big girl like Xiren and others, but sometimes even Xueyan is behind her. In Zicuckoo's heart, she was actually very grateful to Daiyu.

Since knowing Daiyu's thoughts, Zijuan has tried her best to help Daiyu achieve her wish, and of course she also wanted to stay in Jia's mansion. After all, she has her own home here, but things backfired. "Golden Jade Match", not only Daiyu was heartbroken, Zijuan was also secretly sad, for Daiyu, but also for herself.

Sighing softly, Zijuan approached quietly, and said in a low voice: "Girl, let me bring you a glass of water." Daiyu who was on the bed shook her head gently, and said weakly: "No, you go down first Well, I want to rest for a while."

Gently covered Daiyu with a silk quilt, lowered the curtain beside the bed, and Zijuan retreated quietly.

Hearing the sound of Zicuckoo closing the door, Daiyu on the bed slowly turned around, the brocade handkerchief in her hand was already wet with endless tears, staring blankly at the water-red veil, Daiyu only felt My body is light, as if it will fly away when the wind blows, but my heart is heavy, "Golden Jade Love" is like a huge stone, and I can't breathe.

The room was getting dark gradually, and there was a faint rustling sound outside, and the snow geese shouted: "This weather, it's raining again." Daiyu turned her numb head, coughed softly, Zijuan and Snow Goose hurried in, lit the lamps, and asked, "Girl, it's raining outside, what do you want to eat, I'll tell the kitchen to do it."

Daiyu shook her head slowly, and then said softly: "I'm not hungry, go get a glass of water." Helping Daiyu to drink, Zijuan said: "Girl, it's cold at night, I'll make the bed thicker." Bring me your quilt." Daiyu nodded and said, "You guys should also rest earlier."

Tossing and turning, how could Daiyu fall asleep, suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, Daiyu couldn't help but said: "Zicuckoo, who is knocking on the door outside?" After a while, Zijuan replied: "Girl, just now It's the girl from the third girl's room, come to ask if the third girl is playing here." Daiyu replied disappointedly, but her heart gradually became sad.

Listening to the pattering rain outside, hitting the bamboo leaves and the screen window, Daiyu really hoped to hear the urgent knock on the door, and then "Sister Lin" kept calling all day long. Baoyu, who was mad because of Zijuan's words back to Su, came to him in the rain, and told himself decisively: "Sister Lin, don't worry, I will not marry Sister Bao, I will definitely ask my mother to take back the Yizhi."

The rain still kept falling, but the night was getting deeper and deeper, Daiyu's heart gradually cooled down, the long-awaited knock on the door did not sound, only the rustling of the rain hitting the bamboo leaves, she sighed in disappointment With a sound, tears flowed silently down Daiyu's beautiful eyes.

Zijuan also stayed up all night, listening to Daiyu's movement in the room, for fear that Daiyu would not think about it for a while and ruin her body.I don't want to hear Daiyu's tossing and turning sound from time to time, but the inside is quiet, and even the usual coughing is rarely heard, which makes Zijuan a little puzzled.

Seeing Dongfang showing a trace of innocence, Zijuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep in a daze.When she woke up, it was already dawn outside. She got up and went to see Daiyu, but she saw that the bed was empty. Zijuan was shocked and ran outside, shouting: "Miss, ma'am."

Going out the door, I saw Daiyu standing in front of the green bamboo in a daze, staring blankly at the courtyard door, wearing only thin clothes, shivering slightly in the cool autumn morning wind.

Turning around and taking a long coat, Zijuan hurriedly ran out to put it on Daiyu, saying: "Why don't you put on a dress when you come out? It's cool in the morning, so be careful." Daiyu said in a low voice, "I vaguely heard someone knocking Unfortunately, no one will come.” As he spoke, he turned around slowly, and said to himself sadly: “No one will come.” After speaking, he couldn’t help coughing, and the tears disappeared. Runs all over the cheeks.

While supporting Daiyu, Zijuan shouted: "Snow Goose, come and help me." Yucai straightened up.

Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other, both secretly startled, but Daiyu calmly said: "What's the fuss, I feel much better, don't say anything, you know." The two nodded tremblingly , and then helped Daiyu back to the room.

The whole day, Daiyu just stayed in the room, didn't go anywhere, except Jiamu sent a girl to ask, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was quiet, no one came, Zijuan and Xueyan looked at Daiyu in a daze. He looked stunned, worried secretly, but didn't know what to do, so he had to say a few words of persuasion from time to time, knowing that it was useless.

Three days passed, and the people in the mansion seemed to have forgotten about the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. No one came, Xueyan couldn't help it, and whispered to Zijuan: "What's the matter, I don't see anyone coming, is it possible?" With 'Golden Jade Love', you don't care about the girl, even if you don't marry the second master, after all, the girl is the granddaughter of the old lady, and I haven't seen anyone for three days, no, I'll go out and have a look."

Before Xueyan walked out of the room, she saw Yuanyang helping Jia Mu get off the soft sedan chair. Zijuan and Xueyan hurried forward to salute. Is the girl better?" Zijuan said: "The girl is better, she is resting in the room." After finishing speaking, she ran up to lift the curtain and said, "Girl, the old lady is here."

Daiyu on the bed hurriedly got up, and just about to get out of bed, Jia Mu who had already come in said, "Don't get down, be careful of getting cold again. Zijuan, help your girl to put on some clothes."

Xueyan moved to the soft couch and helped Jia Mu to sit down. Jia Mu glanced at Daiyu and said to Zijuan, "Zijuan, tell the small kitchen to make more delicious meals for your girl. God doesn't know, I look thinner again."

Daiyu said: "Don't worry, old ancestor, I eat it every day." Jia Mu said: "It must be that the girl is not serving you wholeheartedly. Look, I have such a bad face. How can I be wronged because I am only such a granddaughter?" Looking at Yuanyang, Zijuan and the others around him, Yuanyang said with interest: "Zijuan, I really liked the pattern I saw last time, can you describe it for me?"

Zijuan is also a smart person, she nodded and said: "Okay, sister Yuanyang, let's sit outside." After speaking, she walked out with Yuanyang, and before leaving, she gave Xueyan a hand, and the room fell silent .
