Dream Continues Red Mansion: Melting Daixin

Chapter 39 The Hairpin and the Rosary

Maybe it was a coincidence, the embroidered picture that Shui Rong didn't care about at all was seen by Shui Rong because of the arrival of Shui Qin and Zhi Qiaowan. He was shocked, as if seeing the heart of the woman who embroidered this picture was exactly the person he was looking for.It's just that this woman is Jia Baoyu's bosom friend, so he can only stay away from it.

Shui Rong calmed down and found the tortoise shell to ward off evil spirits, thinking that Baoyu would suppress ghosts, so he came to Jia's mansion, thanked him for sending the embroidered pictures, and went to Changcui nunnery with Baoyu to ask for a magic talisman, which he called for his long journey. Peace symbol.

Shui Rong accidentally sees a woman outside the gate of the nunnery, secretly praises the woman's rare beauty, thinks that she must be Baoyu's confidante, but has doubts, this woman is so weak, can she bear the wind and rain?

And the woman that Shui Rong saw was Lin Daiyu, someone who had a similar heart with Jia Baoyu.

However, Daiyu quietly left while discussing matters with everyone by the lake. She originally liked to disperse but not to gather together. On such an occasion, she felt that she was standing alone by the side, which added to the loneliness. It would be better to leave early. , so as not to disturb her interest.Daiyu left the lake slowly, staring at the scenery in the garden, not knowing where to go.Walking to a willow tree, she stopped, looking at the fallen willow tree, the leaves had faded green, leaving only withered branches, Daiyu couldn't help sighing, feeling a little sad in her heart.

At this time, the maids in the garden were either sneaking around in the yard, or they heard people’s words and went to the lake to listen to the discussion. Because there were few people on the path, they only walked with Daiyu Yingying, wanting to see the scenery in the garden all the way. This grass and tree are imprinted in my heart, and I hide all the laughter and sweetness with my sisters in the past few years in my heart, and I will recall it when I sleep alone under the remaining flowers, and the feeling of loneliness and desolation is over, and the regret of life is lost.

In late autumn, when the greenery is harvested and the flowers are getting weaker, Daiyu lotus walks by, only shaking her head and smiling lightly. The banquet at this time does not need to be extravagant and gorgeous, lest people will see the flowers wither and show a decaying scene, which will spoil people's interest .She remembered that the flowers and trees planted in the garden do not last for one season, as long as one chooses a place with autumn flowers, there is no need to bother about decorating them, the girls and maids have light make-up and clothes, and the flowers will make people more beautiful.If you don’t want to be too gorgeous, you can choose a quiet place near the mountains and near the water, surrounded by evergreen trees, avoid gold and silver cups, girls and maids can only wear quiet and elegant clothes, and only light candlelight on the stage , one person played the guqin lightly and played the flute slowly, with a sense of tranquility and elegance, which not only saved time, but also saved money in the government.Daiyu sighed softly, if the banquet really fulfilled her intentions, it would not lose its elegance, but this idea was in her heart, and she felt that it would be difficult for her second aunt to like her, who admired Sister Feng, Sister Bao, and Sister Bao more. Why should she say it out to be annoying.

Wandering through the flowers around the tree, she strolled along, and unknowingly came to the bottom of the peach blossoms beside the Qinfang Gate Bridge. In the past, I read the West Chamber with Baoyu under the flowers. The words and smiles of the past seemed to be in front of my eyes, and then gradually faded away. When I looked up, there were only flowerless peach trees and empty pools.Dai Yukong sighed, when the flowers bloom next year, who else will be in the garden?If she had passed away, would Baoyu still remember the contract to pick up flowers?

At this time, Daiyu's eyes were blurred with tears. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, left the peach blossom tree, and reached the pool.Looking down at the few peach blossoms on the edge of the pool, I couldn't bear to see them drift away with the water, and I don't know where they went, and the sewage from other places would collapse the flowers. With slender arms and delicate hands, she reached into the water, picked up the petals with her fingers, and carefully placed them on the handkerchief until she couldn't reach them, then she stopped.

Holding the silk handkerchief, Daiyu got up, went to her flower mound on the crooked corner, pulled out the bamboo hairpin on her head, used the hairpin to push away the old soil, scattered the flowers in the soil, and then covered it with the soil, together with the The hairpin is covered up together.At this time, I felt short of breath and tired, so I leaned against the tree, thinking that I always feel powerless these days. Does the blood-red manjusawa in the bamboo forest mean that my time is running out?Thinking of this, it is already sad, so I think of the burial of flowers, I really don't know who will collect the fallen flowers at this time next year? .I couldn't stop crying, covered my mouth and whimpered until my eyes were sore,

Leaning on the tree and crying, she got up and walked back, walking along the winding path and corridor beside the garden, and came to the path behind the Changcui nunnery, she hesitated to enter, she wanted to practice Zen with Miaoyu again, Maybe you can understand something, maybe let go of something.In this life, there is nothing she can't let go of. She has no nostalgia for a long time. If she has, it is the flesh and blood relationship with Jiamu and Baoyu.

While hesitating, she met Zijuan looking for her so far, Daiyu let Zijuan support her, and they walked back.

Daiyu and Zijuan took each other back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Before entering the door, Daiyu wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and walked in slowly as if nothing had happened.

Tanchun and Xichun were sitting there, talking with Xiangyunyou about the lake, Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "What's the outcome?" She went to the book case and sat down, stretched out her hand to bring the tea to her mouth, and waited. Follow the text of Tanchun.

Tanchun smiled and said, "Where did you go, I didn't see you when you came back. We returned without success."

Daiyu said lightly: "Actually, it's not so complicated, it's both clothing and talent. If you want me to say, when you invite the theater troupe, then invite the musicians from the band. When the banquet starts, invite them to sing soothing and cheerful tunes. When playing a traditional instrument, it's neither deserted nor noisy, wouldn't it please you?"

Xiangyun turned around and clapped his hands, saying: "Okay, Sister Lin's idea is better, I'll talk to my wife right now." Looking closely at Daiyu's face, he said, "Have Sister Lin cried? Why are her eyes red?" ?”

Daiyu said, "It's nothing, the sand blinds my eyes."

Xiangyun felt relieved, got up and walked out.

Daiyu said with a smile: "Sister Yun heard that the wind is the rain, I just said that, you take it seriously."

The Xiangyun people walked forward, turned back and said, "I think it's good." During the conversation, one foot was in the door, one foot was outside the door, and Yuchai came in head-on. Yuchai stopped her and said, "Miss Yun, where is this?" go?"

Xiangyun turned sideways and said, "I'm going to talk to my wife."

Yu Chuan said seriously: "Now is not the time, the wife is angry with you and Miss Lin, can you go to the wife at this time with a good heart? You should wait until her anger subsides before going."

Xiangyun stepped back, pointed to his nose and asked, "My wife is angry with me and Sister Lin, why?"

Tanchun also asked: "Yes, why is my wife angry? How did Yun Yatou and Sister Lin provoke my wife?"

Daiyu also looked at Yuchuan suspiciously.

Zijuan greeted Yuchai with a smile, pointed to the seat and Yuchai, Yuchuan sat down, took a sip of tea and said: "It's not because of the string of beads, you don't know it, you broke the string of beads gone."

Daiyu and Xiangyun looked at each other, Xiangyun was puzzled and said, "What beads? We didn't see any beads."

Yu Chuan said, "Can I still lie to you?"

It turned out that Mrs. Wang, because of the gray shadow in the room, although Baochai explained it, she felt a little at ease, but the gray shadow was lingering and inescapable. Sometimes it seemed to be face to face with her, and sometimes it was close to her. Beside, disturbed her uneasy.She also broke all the existing beads in her room. There were no strings. She managed to string the beads together, but within a few days, the strings broke again.Mrs. Wang was so worried that she didn't want to eat or drink. If this continues, she might not be able to hold on anymore.She had no choice but to talk to Aunt Xue about finding a rosary that could suppress evil spirits and ghosts, so as to keep her safe, and also hoped that Jia Zheng's investigation of the Lin family's property would be smooth and smooth, and that she would not be involved.After all, they are sisters, and their family members take care of their own family members. Aunt Xue went home and told Xue Pan about it, and asked Xue Pan to find it.Xue Pan searched for it for a few days, and heard a friend tell a kind of rosary, which is very useful in exorcising evil spirits, so he immediately found it and wanted to give it to Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang was even more anxious, she couldn't wait for a while, and she devoted herself to inquiring about the news.So when Mrs. Wang was by the lake, she asked if Baochai had done it.

Before Baochai came to the lake, she knew that Xue Pan had found a string of rosary beads and put them with Xia Jingui, so she asked Aunt Xue to get them from Xia Jingui and deliver them when she came back.

So after Baochai broke up with Mrs. Wang, she returned home and first asked Aunt Xue about the rosary.Aunt Xue brought a square box of red silk and satin. Baochai opened it to look, and saw a string of black and shiny rosary beads lying quietly inside, so she closed the lid and asked Xiangling to hold it. In the lady's room.

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and chanted sutras, heard her come in, opened her eyes to look at her, Baochai smiled slightly, turned around and took the red square box from Xiangling's hand, said with a smile: "Auntie, wait a minute." with Mrs. Wang

Mrs. Wang pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm waiting for you."

Mrs. Wang took the red satin box, opened it, and saw a string of shining black rosary beads, she was very happy, she raised her eyes and said, "That's right, it should be useful."

After finishing speaking, he pinched it with his fingers and put it on his wrist, but he heard the sound of jingling, the black beads on the rosary string scattered one by one, fell to the ground, bounced and fell, bounced, and scattered all over the ground.

Mrs. Wang's face turned blue immediately, her eyes were fixed on the black beads dancing on the ground, and she thought in her heart: This talisman to ward off evil is broken, it's not a good omen, it's not auspicious sound.Where did Baochai get her the broken beads? Isn't that a curse on her?What is Baochai's heart?

Baochai was also taken aback, but her mind was moving with the bouncing beads, and her thoughts turned sharply, and then she thought: Xia Jingui must have moved it and broke it, so I was afraid we would know, so put it in the box as it was.At this time, my aunt will definitely blame me and regard me as an ominous person.

She, Baochai, was a very decent person in the eyes of everyone, but she was careless this time, and didn't notice that the bead thread was broken.I have to think of a way to make my aunt feel at ease.

Baochai's face froze, she clasped her hands, and complained: "Young girls Yun and Lin are only out of curiosity, and insist on opening it to take a look. I told them to be careful, the bead cannot be moved, and they won't listen. It’s still broken. Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll go back and string it up and bring it back. It’s okay. I have to warn them later, it’s not good.”

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed, and her tone was urgent and stern: "Did you meet them when you came?"

Baochai nodded and said, "Auntie, don't blame them. It's all my fault. I'll apologize for them."

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "These two girls just don't make people worry, and they will only let things go if something happens."

Baochai said with a smile: "They are still young, and there are some things that need to be taught."

Mrs. Wang sat upright and said: "You just need to worry more, and you have time to behave more to them, it's too unruly."

Baochai nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie."

Yuchuan was at the side, thinking that Xiangyun and Daiyu had really touched the string of beads, so he took the opportunity of coming out to do business, and kindly talked to Daiyu and Xiangyun.

Xiang Yun shook his head violently, and said angrily, "I haven't even left this house. Tanchun and Xichun are with me. When did I meet her? What is she singing about?"

Daiyu was also annoyed and said: "When I was by the lake, I separated from Xiangyun and the others. I walked around the garden and came back with Zijuan. Why didn't I see her?"

But he laughed and said, "Didn't you see anyone?"

After Sister Feng's crisp laughter, people walked in, and Lin Hongyu smiled and followed beside her. Sister Feng smiled and said, "You sisters are all here, are you opening a poetry club again?"

Xiangyun pouted and said, "If you want to open a poetry club, you will be so angry."
