Dai Yuxin says

Xiaoxiang Pavilion has an elegant environment and exquisite architecture, but now it is a corner that is forgotten by people.Jia's mansion is full of distinguished guests all day long, the rich family is full of joy, and the hall is full of banquets.Jia Mu led the two wives of King Xing, Sister Feng Youshi and Baochai, who were too busy with entertainment to think of Daiyu.

The most leisurely person in Jia's mansion is the widow Li Wan, and the most irrelevant person is the orphan Lin Daiyu.

Li Wan was in Daoxiang Village, doing needlework while watching his son Jia Lan write.The maid, Su Yunlai put the tea on Jia Lan's desk and said, "Brother Lan, drink a bowl of hot tea to warm your hands." Li Wan gave her a white look and said, "How many times have I told you, bro, you can't write with your heart." Interrupted."

Suyun smiled softly, and argued in a low voice: "Isn't this the New Year's Eve? My brother works hard every day, and I should take a day off today. I see how much better Lan Geer is than Bao Erye." Li Wan's eyes Tears overflowed, Suyun rolled his eyes, and said sadly: "How can you say such a thing? Can we orphans and widows compare with others?"

Suyun knew she had said something wrong, and said repeatedly: "Grandma, forgive me, Suyun knows she was wrong." Lan'er turned her head, looked at her mother, and comforted her: "Mom, the child will definitely earn a phoenix crown for mother. Wiping tears with his hands, Li Wan smiled and said: "You are a sensible child. Although you are devoted to studying, you also know the situation in the mansion. Mother only hopes that you will be successful soon, and you will no longer suffer from those dirty things."

Jia Lan is the eldest grandson of Jia Zheng, so it stands to reason that Li Wan should also have a place in Jia's mansion.However, Li Wan could only pretend to be deaf and dumb in many matters, and led his son Jia Lan silently, living a life like a zombie.Li Wan is not a cowardly person who can't afford it or let it go.Although she doesn't have Daiyu's outstanding literary talents, she is also a woman who can read and write, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is very assertive. Compared with Wang Xifeng who doesn't know many big characters, her character is much better.It's just because my father is an upright scholar who doesn't know how to make money, and his family is poor.

That year, Jia Zhu was seriously ill, and the Jia family deceived her father to be a loyal man, and made herself happy.Less than half a year after marrying and serving Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu mourned. Fortunately, she left a posthumous son, Jia Lan.Even so, the mother-in-law, who is greedy for vanity and loves money like her life, has never looked at this hard-working mother and son.

Over the years, Li Wan has been following women's morals, being careful not to make any mistakes for her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and her life has been very tiring.Even if it is Chinese New Year today, Li Wan is unwilling to let his son relax in his studies.

Sitting behind Jia Lan, Li Wan watched his son writing at his desk. His thin body was not commensurate with his young age, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

Seeing her tears welling up again, Suyun hesitated to take out a letter and handed it to her, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, this is what the old madam brought for you. The old madam specifically asked you to pass it on quietly. Give it to Miss Lin."

Li Wan took the letter, turned it over and over, looked at it silently for a while, and thought to himself: "Father passed away for many years, and mother lived an ordinary life with her elder brother and sister-in-law. She has never met the Lin family and has never had any contact with her. What's the matter with this letter?" After thinking for a while, Li Wan decided to hand the letter to Daiyu, and ask questions later when he saw his family.

Just as Zijuan had prepared the food, Xueyan was about to invite Daiyu over for dinner when she heard someone knocking gently on the courtyard door.Xueyan pouted and said: "I haven't seen anyone coming all day, who will come so late?" Zijuan smiled and said: "I'll go and open the door to have a look, you bring me warm Huiquan wine and accompany me Girl drinking two cups is also a sign of Chinese New Year."

Daiyu came over and sat down, seeing Zijuan holding a bag of sugar and a letter in her hands, she asked, "Which one came just now?"

Zijuan replied with a smile: "It's Suyun in Grandma's room. Grandma wants her to give the girl a bag of candy. By the way, I will bring this letter to you." Daiyu took it and looked at the envelope disapprovingly. Not a single word.After tearing open the envelope and taking out the letter paper, his expression changed instantly.Watching and watching, tears flowed down like a small river with a broken embankment.

Zijuan and Xueyan stared at Daiyu's face in shock, not knowing how to persuade her.

Daiyu held the letter in her hand, and the letter paper was soaked with tears.After finally reading it, he crawled on the table, cried bitterly for a while, raised his head, wiped his tears and looked at the bewildered Zijuan Xueyan and said, "Sit down and eat quickly, we must eat well if we want to be full." alive."

Zijuan took Xueyan to sit down, looked at Daiyu uneasily, and did not move the bowl and chopsticks.Daiyu picked up the chopsticks, with tears on her face, held up the chopsticks and urged: "Eat, we must eat more, no matter how painful we are, we must eat. We must live well."
