Dream Continues Red Mansion: Melting Daixin

Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, Tanchun and Baochai hadn't reached a conclusion at the lakeside, but they were interrupted by the visit of the young prince of Beijing, so they had to leave.

Leaning slightly, the high-spirited Baoyu came into the garden accompanied by the gentle and jade-like Young Prince of Beijing Jing.

Shui Rong came here to thank Jia Zheng face-to-face for his double-sided emerald bamboo embroidery, and to give Baoyu something to ward off evil spirits.

The embroidered picture is really in line with the water-soluble style.

In fact, when Shui Rong received the embroidery, he only thought it was a popular item at the same time, and didn't care about it.

That Shui Rong was originally a young hero, a dragon and a phoenix among the people, he was not yet a weak crown, and he had not yet established a young concubine, so it was inevitable that some princes and ministers wanted to marry their daughter into the Beijing Palace, and they tried every means to attract Shui Rong's favor for his daughter, hoping to get a fast son-in-law .Unexpectedly, Shui Rong has his own ideas, no woman can easily fall into his handsome eyes, even the old prince and concubine Beijing can't do anything about it.

Therefore, Shui Rong first thought of which daughter of Jia's family embroidered the embroidery sent by Jia Zheng, and thought of the two women he had seen, one graceful and dignified, glamorous and noble; The two daughters are both in their twenties and eight years, and they are waiting for the beauties in the boudoir.How come, as soon as I saw it, there was a woman's embroidery. Could it be that Jia Zheng also had some intentions?But Si Jiazheng is not that vulgar person, probably not.So I gave up this idea, thinking that if my concubine likes it, I can use it to honor my concubine, and the hard work of the woman who embroidered this picture is not in vain.After thinking about it, I put the embroidery on the desk in the study, and picked up the book to read.

But at this time, his sister Wang Shao Wangfei Shui Qin and his distant cousin Zhi Qiaowan came to the study, Shui Rong frowned slightly, and lost a moment of peace.Seeing that the two of them had walked in, Shui Rong had no choice but to put down the book and talk to the two of them.

I saw my cousin Zhi Qiaowan leaning on the door with one hand, and covering her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief with the other, coughing lightly with her head down, her frail state could not be concealed.

His cousin, Zhi Qiaowan, is a woman who is neither plump nor weak, gentle, shy, charming and easily hurt.

Seeing the situation, Shui Rong said gently: "Cousin is not feeling well, so she should move around less."

Zhi Qiaowan heard the words, his face was flushed with red clouds, and he felt dissatisfied, but he said: "My cousin is going away tomorrow, I will come and see my cousin. Otherwise, I don't know if my cousin is gone." The words were a little sad , tears flashed.

Sister Wang Shuiqin smiled and said: "Okay, okay, didn't you see this, you will be sick later, but no one cares about you."

Zhi Qiaowan bowed his head and remained silent.

Shui Qin didn't wear the big makeup of the princess today, she was dressed in light green casual clothes, with a long skirt that reached the floor, elegant and gentle and beautiful, and said with a smile like a spring breeze: "Brother, I'm leaving tomorrow, think about what else is there?" Be prepared, before it's too late." She felt very sorry for her only younger brother.

Shui Rong shook his head confidently and smiled.

Shui Qin said: "You are always like this, you always take care of things yourself. It's all right not to let the mother and concubine worry about it, not even my sister."

Zhiqiao Wan staggered to the desk, flipped through the water-soluble writing paper, saw it from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help frowning.

Zhi Qiaowan saw the brocade box on the desk, holding it in his hand, his charming eyes were shining, the crystal light in his eyes seemed to ask Shui Rong, Shui Rong said with a calm face: "It was sent by Jia's house, I haven't opened it yet. Come and see."

Shui Qin moved over and said, "Sister Wan, I'll see it first. He has never cared about these embroidery works. Sooner or later, he will give them to his concubine. Why don't I see them for him."

Before Shui Rong could say anything to stop it, Shui Qin had already opened the box and unfolded it, and Zhi Qiao Wan leaned over to watch it.But seeing Shui Qin's face floated admiringly, Zhi Qiaowan's eyes widened, and his eyes couldn't help showing surprise, looking up and down, relatively speechless for a long time.

Water dissolves in the opposite of the two, and you can see the reverse side of the embroidery. You can see the lush bamboo poles and green bamboos rising up one by one, emerald green like jade, and the bamboo leaves are light and delicate. The poles become forests, gradually getting farther and farther away, and the eyes are quiet, peaceful and elegant.

Shui Rong couldn't help but praise and said: "What a picture of green bamboo." Unexpectedly, the piece of green that can't be kept in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden flashed in his mind, could it be her.

Shuiqin and Zhiqiaowan raised their heads from the picture and asked in surprise, "How did you see it? Didn't you open it?" Looking at each other, Shuiqin said to himself, "Could it be double-sided embroidery?" When I came over to look at it, I saw the same exquisite embroidery as the front.Shui Qin smiled and said: "It's rare in the imperial palace. It's really a rare double-sided embroidery, with a new idea and superb embroidery method. This embroidery picture suits your heart. It seems that the mother and concubine will not be able to get it. "

Zhi Qiaowan smiled and said: "My cousin's preferences are different from ordinary people, but I don't know what the gift giver is thinking?"

Shui Qin gave her a white look and said: "If you think about it that way, you will desecrate the heart of the person who embroidered this picture."

The water-melting heart is shaking, shaken by all the indifferent tranquility and tranquility revealed by the stitches and threads of this embroidered picture, and the open-minded mind reveals a kind of proud spirit.I can't help but think of a courtyard full of fresh air, a graceful and beautiful woman sitting alone under the window, looking at the bamboo shadows whirling outside the window, listening to the sound of the thin bamboo leaves shaking, holding a book, facing the wind and thinking about the moon, and the woman under the window , as delicate and elegant as bamboo, chic.

But Ting Shuiqin said: "I think my younger brother is like this bamboo, 'The lead powder festival is exposed, the wind shakes the green jade branches. Yiyi is like a gentleman, no place is not suitable'."

Zhi Qiaowan smiled lightly and said: "Cousin, when you said that I remembered, didn't you say that bamboo has seven virtues?

The bamboo body is straight, rather than bent; it is said to be upright.

Although bamboo has bamboo joints, it does not stop; it is said to forge ahead.

The outside of the bamboo is straight and hollow, and the heart is like a valley; it is called openness.

Bamboo has flowers but does not bloom, and the plain face faces the sky; it is said to be simple.

Bamboo is detached and independent, standing upright; it is called Zhuoer.

Although bamboo is called drow, it is not like pine; it is called good group.

Bamboo records handed down from generation to generation, hard work; it is said to take responsibility.Really like a cousin. "

Shui Rongfang came back to his senses, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I can't afford it."

Shui Qin put down the embroidered picture and said, "Your brother must have something he likes very much, so you can keep it. Ming'er sister and brother-in-law will send you on a trip, so you should write more letters home so that mother and concubine can feel at ease."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Understood."

Shuiqin is called Shangzhiqiaowan, bids farewell and leaves, Shui Rong sends Shuiqin and Zhiqiaowan out with a smile.

Shui Rong walked back and sat blankly at the table, lost in thought.In Shui Rong's lonely and proud heart, there was a dream. In the dream was the woman he wanted to love and stay with him for the rest of his life.This woman has refined beauty, gentle as water, elegant and intelligent, elegant and poetic, both clear and gorgeous, like orchids in an empty valley, like blue water and clear lotus.He and her confidant, hand in hand to sing the wind and moon, draw eyebrows together under the west window, his heart is given to her in his heart, he travels thousands of miles, caring for her, and she misses him day and night.Just like this, holding hands with each other for a lifetime, until the hair is as white as silver.

He had never met such a woman in 18 years, but today his heartstrings were touched by this picture, and that dream became clear again.

Concentrating on Duanxiang's embroidery picture again, he thought to himself: in Yi Baoyu's usual words, among his sisters, only Baoyu's confidante, Miss Lin, can embroider in this style.Miss Lin's self-cultivation is really different from ordinary people. Can she be tolerated in Jia's mansion with her sober temper and solitary style?

Brother Xixiangbao once said that this woman is sentimental, but she likes the bamboo forest very much. However, "a branch of bamboo with a thousand tears" is like that woman. Ten thousand strikes are still strong, and let the wind from east to west, north and south." Is it?

However, she can know each other and cherish each other with Brother Bao. It is rare for her to stand alone in the world when all women are ignorant, but this woman is so weak, can she share the wind and rain?

Does she, like her cousin Zhiqiao Wan, often fall ill and hold on to her relatives?

Moreover, this woman is good in every way, but she is Baoyu's confidante. Even if I want to know her, I only talk about poetry and painting with her, and be a bosom friend in high mountains and rivers, but I will inevitably feel that I am robbing others of love. I am not a gentleman. for.

With a long sigh, he is destined to miss him in his life, and his fate is not her.

Furthermore, what will this woman do when the big things come first?Can this woman be as tough as bamboo?

Then she is not his fate.

In the world, it is easy to find a woman who abides by women's morality, but it is hard to find a woman who is poetic and open-minded, and it is even more difficult to find a woman with great love.However, it is difficult for a woman with feminine virtue, poetic talent, and great love.

Shui Rong sighed, he was afraid that he would be lonely for the rest of his life, but that's okay, the loneliness of being alone is better than the loneliness of being with someone he doesn't know.

Shui Rong thought it through, let go of his thoughts, got up and went to the study in another courtyard, hung the embroidery on the wall, and admired it for a while with his hands behind his back, then remembered that he wanted to find something for Baoyu to ward off evil, so as to keep Baoyu safe.

After thinking about it, he thought that his master once said that tortoiseshell is a good thing to ward off evil spirits, so he hurriedly searched for it.

This tortoise shell is formed by the coagulation of essence and blood. It is a good product for avoiding evil, and its effect is comparable to that of jade.Baoyu has already worn a psychic gem on his body. Although it has the effect of avoiding evil, it cannot completely suppress ghosts and demons.Shui Rong also knew about Baoyu's meeting with five ghosts.Shui Rong decides to use tortoiseshell to try, hoping that Baoyu can hold him back.And this tortoise shell is a spiritual thing, and it needs a magic talisman to make all the ghosts terrified and dare not get close.Shui Rong thought of the Quicui Nunnery in Jia's mansion when he visited the garden a few days ago. The Quicui Nunnery is a few steps away from the Yihong Courtyard. It should be able to cover the precious jade, and it happened to offer the tortoise shell in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

After getting ready, Shui Rong took time out to meet Baoyu in the mansion by thanking Jia Zheng for the green bamboo picture.When they saw Baoyu, they didn't want to tell Baoyu the truth, for fear that the people of Jia's mansion would panic when they heard about it.He only said that he asked for a safety talisman from Changcui Temple to ensure his safe travel. Because time was running out, it was too late to go to the temple outside the city to ask for a talisman, so he rashly came to the mansion to ask for a talisman, and reported the disturbance first.

Baoyu didn't know the reason, he was reluctant to see Shui Rong go to the border inspection, he only hated that he couldn't do anything for Shui Rong, and when he heard that there was an opportunity for him to contribute, he was overjoyed and led Shui Rong to Changcui Temple.

Because Baoyu was afraid that Miaoyu would be withdrawn, he would not give Shui Rong a good look and make Shui Rong embarrassed, so he talked about Miaoyu's personality along the way, and repeatedly asked Shui Rong not to blame Miaoyu for his indifference.Baoyu then described Miaoyu's lofty and lonely temperament, and did not make friends with others easily. Only Sister Lin and Fourth Sister could talk about it in detail with her.He also said that Miaoyu and sister Lin are similar in temperament, both have a cold temperament, Miaoyu is cold alone, and Daiyu is softer.

When he came to the gate of the nunnery, Baoyu stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.Shui Rong stood nearby, looked around, regretting that only the branches of those red plums were left.

At this time, a woman's voice was faintly heard saying: "Girl, let's go back, there are outsiders coming to the garden, and the master told everyone in the garden to avoid it."

Shui Rong heard the sound and looked around, and saw two women on the path to the east of Changcui Temple, a woman who looked like a maid helped her master to walk down the path.

I was a little far away from the woman, so I couldn't see her clearly, and I only saw a profile, and when I looked at it from a distance, I felt like a fairy.But I saw that woman's beautiful hair hanging down like ink, fluttering freely, like a fairy with a belt in the wind, her figure is light, like a weak willow supporting the wind, her lotus steps move lightly, flowers grow under her feet, and her skirt flutters.

A trace of tenderness was suddenly touched in my heart, and my eyes followed it.

There was a hint of approval on the water-melting and handsome face, and he sighed in his heart: "What an elegant woman, she doesn't eat the fireworks of the world."

Shui Rong thought to himself: Looking at that slender figure like a willow, it must be a weak person.The most valuable thing is that the body reveals a noble air, revealing the beauty of nature, without any affectation.According to what Baoyu said in the past, she should be Baoyu's confidante.How lucky is Baoyu to have a confidant.

But I heard the maid say: "Girl, I'm in a hurry to come out at noon, and I haven't taken the medicine yet."

The woman said softly: "I am afraid of taking that bitter medicine every day."

Shui Rong couldn't help thinking of his distant cousin Zhi Qiaowan again, her handsome eyebrows slightly frowned.Sighing, it's a pity that this woman is too weak, and Baoyu needs to cherish and care for her.I'm afraid I really can't handle the big things.

At this time, the door of the nunnery opened, Baoyu and Xiaoni talked about their intentions, and Xiaoni had the intention of rejecting it. Shui Rong had recovered, and recited a sentence in a clear voice: "Eternal hatred is not as good as water, and waves will rise on the flat ground." Listening to the people inside With a sigh, he said, "One flower is one world, one leaf is one Tathagata. Come in." Shui Rong and Baoyu raised their shirts, stepped over the threshold, and entered the nunnery.
