Dream Continues Red Mansion: Melting Daixin

Shui Rong has read Daiyu's poems all over, and has solved Daiyu's worries, so she puts down her doubts and understands that Daiyu and Baoyu have become strangers.

Over there, Baoyu left the Beijing Prince's Mansion, entered the mansion, and met Grandma Liu with a smile on her face.

Grandma Liu stepped forward and took Baoyu's hand, and said with a smile on her wrinkled face: "This brother has grown taller again. He is really taller and more handsome. He is married. If you don't tell me, I'll come too." Ask for a wedding drink."

Baoyu stood still, expressionless, looking at Baixue in the distance, and patiently listened to her.

Grandma Liu let go of his hand after she finished speaking on her own, looked around Jia's mansion, shook her head and smacked her lips with a smile: "I haven't been here for half a year, and this mansion is getting more and more prosperous. I've been staring at us. Well, even I have face. In our village, who doesn't know that we have well-known and expensive relatives in the capital, they all look up to us. If there is any quarrel in the family, as long as I stand out, in a word, They all listened."

Baoyu said coldly, "That's not very good."

Grandma Liu nodded sharply and said, "Well, it's really thanks to your family."

As he spoke, he looked for the door and walked out with a smile. Baoyu exhaled, and vaguely felt that someone very close to him called her a female locust. Who was that person?Is it the cousin that the young prince of Beijing Jing mentioned?He patted off the snow on his body and walked slowly to Jiamu's room.

Now Baoyu walks in a leisurely manner. He feels that there is nothing to look forward to, and no one he really wants to see is waiting for him in the mansion.Although she is married and has one wife and one concubine in the mansion, he doesn't want to see them.

He walked straight into Jiamu's room, greeted him respectfully, and looked up to see that the grandmother who was crooked on the bed was still in good spirits today.

The only thing that Baoyu cares about now is Jia's mother's health.Since he returned to the sun, he was very worried when he learned that Jiamu, who loved him the most, fell ill because of him. Every day when he was free, he would come to sit in Jiamu's room.That Jia Mu also had good times and bad times, she often sighed in good times, and was groggy most of the time.Although the imperial physician was invited to treat him, there was no improvement.

Jia Zheng handed over all the affairs of the family to Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang naturally handed over a small part of the housekeeping power to Baochai, and even Li Wan was only an assistant.

Jia Baoyu glanced around and saw that only Shi Xiangyun was present. Tanchun was studying etiquette because he was about to get married, so he only came to ask questions sooner or later, and Xichun was naturally accompanying Tanchun.

Shi Xiangyun didn't even look at Baoyu. Baoyu sat silently beside Jiamu with a block in his heart.

Baoyu now has many things that he can't figure out, which are pressed in his heart and are difficult to solve.

He remembered that this younger sister had a very good relationship with her, and they had played and quarreled with him since childhood.Every time she came, she had to ask him to accompany her, and when she left, she asked him to think about picking her up.But since she got married, he, Sister Yun, seemed to be a different person. He avoided her as much as possible, and sometimes he was cold when he had to see her. For his monogamous and concubine, Shi Xiangyun also seemed to have resentment and hatred in his heart. , the attitude is more indifferent.

But Miaoyu was even more indifferent to him, and when she saw him, she simply turned around and walked away.

When Jia Mu saw Baoyu enter the door, she smiled. Although the corners of his mouth were already slanted, he could still see the kindness on her face, and put his arms around Baoyu.

After raising these days, Mother Jia has begun to wake up and speak clearly.Just now Mrs. Wang mentioned to Jiamu about the arrangement for Daiyu, and mentioned that the 300 million taels were taken away by Zijuan, and asked Jiamu if she sent someone to come back.

Jia Mu shook her head and said, "That money belonged to Miss Lin, we shouldn't have it, and it's no good if we got it, let them take it away."

Seeing Baoyu sitting beside him for a while, not talking or laughing, and lonely, Jia Mu knew what was in his heart, and sighed secretly in her heart, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Don't restrain him too much, don't worry about it." Tired him out."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Yes, I listen to the old lady."

How could she not be happy in her heart, seeing that Baoyu seemed to be a different person, very obedient, studying hard in the room every day, not causing trouble, just as she expected in the past, her heart was extremely comfortable.

Mrs. Wang thought to herself: She did the right thing in letting Lin Daiyu go out of the house. Without Lin Daiyu, Bao Yu'er is really much better.She is really as wise as Mother Jiao and Mother Lu.

However, there was a trace of worry in her heart. Thinking of Baoyu, Baochai, and Xiren's current situation, she frowned, and was afraid that Jiamu would laugh at her if she learned the truth, so she hesitated and said, "Baoyu's daughter-in-law is pregnant, I think How about letting them sleep in separate rooms temporarily?"

Mother Jia nodded. She had heard from Yuanyang that after Baoyu woke up, everyone was worried that Baoyu would cry and make noises to find Daiyu, and wanted to hide the news of Daiyu's death from him. Keeping her mouth shut, Sheyue tried to mention Daiyu's name, but Baoyu's reaction seemed to have nothing to do with him, and she looked dazed and ignorant, which made Mrs. Wang heave a sigh of relief.The only thing that bothers Mrs. Wang is that everyone knows Baoyu, but she is also like a stranger to Baochai and Xiren. When she sees them, her face is cold and dumbfounded. In the days, there were also acts of resistance to the approach of the two of them.

But Jia Mu thought to herself, "They are the good daughters-in-law you chose for Baoyu yourself."In the past, you and I have competed for so long for Baoyu's second grandmother, but now your wish has been fulfilled, you won, but Baoyu doesn't admit it, is it a blessing or a curse for Baoyu?

Shi Xiangyun, who was sitting alone, saw that Mrs. Wang was really ruthless, and ignored Lin Daiyu's whereabouts. She only talked to Jiamu about Daiyu's money, but Jiamu didn't seem to ask about Daiyu's life, death and whereabouts, and she didn't want to see Lin Daiyu. When I arrived at Baoyu, I was bored, so I got up and said goodbye first.

Seeing her get up, Baoyu hurriedly followed Shi Xiangyun, and asked behind Shi Xiangyun: "Sister Yun, what did I do wrong? You keep ignoring me."

Shi Xiangyun kept walking, walking towards Hengwuyuan by herself. Now, she has lived in Hengwuyuan.

Shi Xiangyun entered the gate of the courtyard and ordered Cuilu to lock the door. Baoyu stood outside the door, knocked on the door and said, "Sister Yun, please tell me, Baoyu, I have something to ask you."

Only hearing Shi Xiangyun's crying, intermittent crying, Baoyu vaguely heard her saying: "Sister Lin, you died so wronged, you brothers and sisters, he didn't even worship, and ended up dying for him reputation."

Shi Xiangyun leaned against the door and cried until her heart broke. She had just met someone who was sincere and treated each other sincerely, but she let go of this world. However, a person who always said he was benevolent and righteous did dirty things but gained a good reputation. She was dissatisfied in her heart.

It turned out that after Baoyu woke up, Mrs. Wang and the people in the house were relieved.Xiangyun, Tanchun, and Xichun immediately took a car to Qingfeng Temple to visit Daiyu, thinking that if they told Daiyu the news, Daiyu would wake up early, and they could take Daiyu back home to recuperate.Unexpectedly, he went up the mountain full of joy, but what he got was the news that the Si people had gone south.With Lin Daiyu's frail body, if everything is safe and sound, Zijuan can't ignore Daiyu's body and travel long distances to work hard. Sending Daiyu back to the south of the Yangtze River must be because she is no longer there. Suzhou.

The sisters went down the mountain sadly, Xiangyun came back and cried a lot, and Xichun became even more lonely.

That Jia Tanchun didn't care about the eyes of the grandmother of Nan'an Palace staring at her, and regardless of her loss of the image of the future princess. : "Madam, my daughter Tanchun has been rude today, I have something to ask clearly."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Let's have something to say."

She treats Tanchun with five points of affection and five points of awe.The reason why I am in awe of Tanchun is because Tanchun, who has grown into a young girl, is becoming more and more aggressive and courageous, and secondly, she is now the concubine of the young prince of Nan'an. For the future of the Jia family, she has to be close to her.

Tanchun opened his bright eyes and asked, "Is Sister Lin my own flesh and blood?"

Mrs. Wang paused and said: "Why do you ask such a question, of course it is."

Tanchun forcefully asked: "Since you are your own flesh and blood, why did your second elder brother get sick and you tried everything possible to save him? Sister Lin is not dead yet, so you let Zijuan take her away, just because your second elder brother is your own?" , and you are worried that elder sister Lin will overwhelm second elder brother?"

Mrs. Wang said calmly: "You all have seen how you want my sister to look like, and I have a clear conscience."

Tanchun asked again: "If I was the one who got sick at the same time as the second elder brother, would you also drive me out?"

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "If you think so, I can't help it."

Tanchun sneered and said, "Sister Lin, what's bothering you? Is this your family relationship? I also want to ask my wife, if Nan'an Palace didn't take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, what would you do? Would you tie me up and kill me?" tied up?"

Mrs. Wang was startled, Tanchun was really shrewd.At the beginning, she and Aunt Xue were worried, and they were afraid that the Nan'an Palace would incriminate her. Mrs. Wang said decisively: "Even if she is tied up, let her get on the sedan chair." Aunt Xue said calmly, "If you go out like that, wouldn't it be If she loses the dignity of the Jia Mansion, it is better to let her enter the Nan'an Palace quietly with a bowl of fainting medicine."

Tanchun burst into tears and said, "Do you think there is no one in your heart except your mother and second elder brother? We are just your pawns. Otherwise, how could you not tolerate your own flesh and blood?"

That day when Tanchun returned to Qiushuangzhai, he sat down at his desk and cried heartily.

Now that Jia Baoyu heard the word "Sister Lin" from Xiangyun's mouth, although he didn't know who she was and what she had to do with him, he still felt sad and uncomfortable, but no matter what, he couldn't remember who she was at all, so he could only ask: "You Who is the sister Lin in the mouth, do I really know her? How did she die?"

Shi Xiangyun said bitterly: "You ask me what I do, go back and ask your good wife and aunt! They are so gentle, dignified, and virtuous. You are a happy couple. They have nothing to fear. They should tell you everything."

Baoyu shook her head and said, "But if they don't tell you, I can only ask you. If you don't tell me, who can tell me? And are they really as good as you say?"

Shi Xiangyun gritted his teeth and said, "You want to hear it, but I don't want to tell you. I'm afraid Sister Lin is not happy to be compared with you, and she also hates you for being ruthless. Who can you blame today? Go away, I don't want to see you."

Baoyu leaned against the door blankly, looking up at the sky, the snowflakes were falling one after another, and she was ignorant, just like this, motionless, speechless, and helpless, she bowed her head and walked away after a long time, depressed and didn't know where to go, she swayed to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion unconsciously , Seeing that there is no one around, sneaked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.On weekdays, his wife and Baochai would not allow him to enter the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

The Xiaoxiang Hall was empty, but it was still as clean as before, and the bookshelves were empty.He sat down numbly, he couldn't figure out why his heart hurt like a tear when he heard the word Lin.He was sitting in a daze, his mind was empty, he smelled the faint fragrance in the room, and looked at the green bamboo forest outside the green screen window in a trance.

He tried hard to recall the past, recalled the most important people and things he had lost, and what it was, but he didn't know and couldn't remember.

In the dead of night, it is difficult to calm one's mind, only to think of the things since returning to the soul one by one, and there are thousands of doubts in the heart.

For whom do you stand in the midst of the wind, and for whom do you lose your soul?

Why do you pick up fallen flowers all over the place?

It turned out that forgetting Daiyu was Yan Jun's disposal of Baoyu, while forgetting Baochai and Xiren was Baoyu's own choice.The last thing he wants to face is the two of them, but they have become his monogamous wife and concubine, and they are pregnant with Liujia. This fact cannot be changed, he can only escape.He didn't care about the health of the two of them, Mrs. Wang ordered Sheyue and Qiuwen to take care of them.

The night dew was deeper, and Baoyu returned to her courtyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and went to bed in the study.

At noon on the second day, Baoyu woke up, took out the Western alarm clock and music box presented by the young prince of Beijing yesterday, put them on the desk, and fiddled with them. Xiren came in with Baochai.Xiren has been pregnant for more than two months, and Baochai has been pregnant for more than one month, and they have not yet conceived.Mrs. Wang was very caring for the two of them, especially Baochai. With the [-]-point conditioning, Baochai became more white and tender, and she was wider than before, and she looked more energetic.

Baochai and Xiren stepped into the door and saw what Baoyu was playing with. Baochai came slowly and sneered, "Baoyu, where did you get those things? Don't waste time on these things."

Xiren squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes, seriously, read more books, put your heart into doing things outside, and come back with a good reputation in the future."

Baoyu didn't raise his head, and said without opening his eyes: "I don't have to work so hard, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing even if I don't do anything. I'm one more in this house, but it's just an extra mouth and a suit of clothes."

Baochai shook her head and said, "Why can't you understand us? We are also doing it for your own good. The old ladies and wives are also thinking the same way. I hope you will have more contacts with officials, so that you will have a bright future in the future. You can't play around with these things." What's the benefit of something that isn't four?"

Baoyu was a little impatient, and wanted to send the two of them away quickly, so he said: "These two nonsensical things were given to me by the young prince of Beijing, and I went to see him yesterday." few words.

Sure enough, Baochai's expression changed a little, and he remained calm for a moment. With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to pick up the music box, looked left and right in front of his eyes, shook his head and smacked his lips and said, "It's really a good thing. I haven't seen anything before. I still want to buy these two things." When I saw it for the first time, it looked unusual.”

Baoyu caught a glimpse of the expression on Baochai's face and thought it looked familiar. She suddenly remembered that she had seen this expression on Grandma Liu's face yesterday, and even the sound it made was so similar.

Baoyu wanted to chase the guests down, but suddenly saw the mandarin ducks come in through the curtain and said, "Second Master, the old lady is calling you back.

Baoyu got up and went first, Baochai and Xiren walked slowly behind, and the three entered Jiamu's bedroom one after another.

Baochai and Xiren walk slowly behind Baoyu, Baochai secretly tastes Baoyu, she knows why Baoyu has become so ruthless, she is a smart person, born with quick wit.Although she didn't know what Baoyu went through that month, she knew why Baoyu went crazy.

She knew he was for Lin Daiyu.

But Baochai had no choice but to marry Baoyu.She is different from Lin Daiyu, although Xue's family claims to be rich in millions, she knows that it is just a false name, and she was born in an imperial merchant, her status is low, it is difficult to climb into a high school and become a serious master.In her eyes, Lin Daiyu has the status of the daughter of the Hou family, and lives a life of luxury in Jia's mansion. She has everything she should have, although the people of Jia's mansion don't give her good looks.She, Xue Baochai, is after everything that Lin Daiyu has now, and even higher. She knows that the only sincerity that Lin Daiyu is after.

She did not quite agree with Lin Daiyu's pursuit.

If this is the case, Lin Daiyu died because of love, and she can be Baoyu's wife and the young mistress of Jia's mansion.She doesn't really care who Baoyu has in mind, so she tolerates Baoyu's indifference and does it magnanimously and calmly, because what she wants most is not Baoyu's love, but everything that Baoyu's identity brings.

Baochai's current life is naturally nourishing and comfortable.Baochai didn't enter the palace, or married into the palace. She had regrets in her heart and was not very satisfied with Baoyu. Enter the main room, and when she assists Baoyu Jinbang to get a title, she will be a wife of virtue and merit, and the main room will also have to let her in the future.

Fortunately, Baochai still made the right choice.As for Baoyu's intention or not, she doesn't care.

Only Xiren was regarded by Baochai as weak, but now Xiren is Baoyu's housewife, but she is not as obedient to her as before.

Baochai and Xiren were originally known for their virtuous names, no matter whether they could accommodate each other in their hearts, they were both amiable and thoughtful, caring and considerate like sisters, and Baochai even won them over with small favors in front of others. Xiren, always manipulate Xiren behind his back, and suppress Xiren with words.

Xiren is suffering and can't tell, and he regrets his mistake at the beginning.

Xiren had to respond in order to have a place in Baoyufang.She is not like Aunt Zhao's misbehavior, which is only a laughing stock.

So these two sages showed their virtuous skills, and Baochai often went to Mrs. Wang, some or not, and said something about Xiren intentionally or unintentionally, and Xiren often went to Mrs. Wang to proclaim his sincerity to Baoyu. Speaking eloquently, he was not as stupid as usual.

Mrs. Wang, of course, put Baochai first.Only because Baochai was pregnant, Mrs. Wang feared that she would become heavier and heavier in the future, so she did not hand over the management of Rongfu to Baochai, but hinted that Li Wan should discuss everything with Baochai.In fact, Mrs. Wang did not trust Baochai very much.

During Baochai's life in Rongfu, he really wanted wind and rain, and if no one mentioned it, Baochai would undoubtedly be the dignified Second Grandma Baochai regardless of her character, appearance, or demeanor.Baochai's heart is kind, but Tanchun wants to marry to the Nan'an Palace, which pierces her heart. These days, the son comes to the Nan'an Palace with many big and small gifts. Although Tanchun is thinking about Lin Daiyu's matter, his expression is high, After being taught by etiquette, she has the demeanor of a princess.

It's a pity that neither Baochai nor Xiren can enter Baoyu's bedroom and cannot get Baoyu's gentle smile.Baoyu has changed. Apart from going to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to settle down in the morning and evening, she only shuts herself in the study, reading during the day and sleeping alone at night.He is no longer the gentle and thoughtful young man who is considerate to girls, but a man with a cold face all day long, wandering in the books of the Four Books and Five Classics, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book.And he often sits in a daze, his eyes are confused, he seems to be thinking about something all the time, but he can't remember it.

The three of them came on the same road, Baoyu in front, Baochai and Xiren in the back. When they arrived at Jia's mother's room, they found out that Sun Shaozu, the young prince of Beijing, sent invitations to all the women of Jia's house on the fifth day of the lunar new year. On the day, I went to the palace to have a banquet to celebrate the ceremony of the daughter and Ji of the relatives and friends of the palace.

In Baochai's heart, she was secretly happy to be able to personally make friends with the female family members of the Beijing Palace, and she looked calm and calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Mrs. Wang looked at Baochai's dignified and generous demeanor, with the golden lock around her neck, and she liked it from the bottom of her heart. Then she saw Baoyu's beauty and elegance, and Baoyu under her neck, she really liked it indescribably.The good fate of gold and jade really brought a turning point to Baoyu and good luck to Jia's mansion.

All the female relatives looked excited, only Xiangyun was unhappy, Xichun had a cold temperament, so he didn't have any expression of joy, and Tanchun didn't care about it because he was about to get married.

Baochai and others discussed the matter of giving gifts, and Baoyu withdrew from the bustle alone.

The courtyard of the Beijing Prince's Mansion is covered with thick snow, the white snow is shining in the sun, and the branches are covered with snow, like eucalyptus and viburnum, very beautiful.

Only the path was swept clean.

The young prince of Beijing was dressed in white clothes, holding a jade plate in his hand, with a white lotus in the jade plate, riding against the wind and snow.Walking into the Yuhe Pavilion, with a smile and a soft face, he walked behind Daiyu, stretched out his hand and handed out the things in his hand, and walked around to Daiyu who was reading with her head down.

Daiyu was startled, put down the hand stove and took it, holding it in front of her eyes, there was actually a delicately carved white lotus in the plate, the white lotus stood quietly in the jade plate, like a graceful flower dancing with the wind. Fairy, there seems to be a faint fragrance coming.

Daiyu was overjoyed, and couldn't help but look carefully.The snow-carved lotus is pure white and lifelike. You can also see the fine lines on the petals of the lotus. It is obvious that the person who sculpted her put a lot of thought into it.Daiyu devoted herself to admiring the snow lotus. After a long time, Daiyu felt that Shui Rong was watching her from the sidelines.

Seeing that Daiyu was very happy with this lotus, the water soluble was fascinated by it, and felt that his hands were red from the cold, he couldn't help rubbing his hands, breathing hot air to warm his hands, but the pair of long eyes shone with affection, catching Daiyu without a second The expression on Yu's face changed instantly. Although her body was cold, her heart was happy.

Daiyu shifted her gaze to glance at him, met his affectionate gaze, hurriedly lowered her head to avoid it, and saw that his hands were red, obviously having been frozen for a long time, she couldn't help but think that he carved the snow lotus in the icy yard It took a long time to carve it out, and it must have been frozen to the body.Daiyu gently put the snow lotus on the table, took up the flower-basket-shaped copper hand stove, put it in his hand, pointed to the place where the foot stove was placed, and said: "Go and sit down there, such a big person plays like a child." Snow doesn't know hot or cold."

Shui Rong listened to her charming voice that seemed angry and pitiful, and saw her fleeting shyness, so she also showed a childish smile, walked over with a very docile smile, sat down and said: "Junior Sister, give me both the stove and the foot stove." You're going to put on your cloak instead of me, and we'll sit down and talk."

Hearing this, Daiyu put on a feather and satin cloak, and Shui Rong called out again: "Yinju, Shuitang, bring the charcoal furnace."

Yinju came in and added a charcoal stove, which was placed at the corner of the pavilion.

Daiyu handed the snow lotus to Yin Ju and said, "Put it carefully in a cool place outside my window, so that the sun won't let the snow melt."

She unconsciously cherishes the snow lotus flower that Shui Rong gave her very much.

Seeing Daiyu's serious face, Yinju took it carefully and walked back lightly.

That water dissolves Daiyu's mind, and at this moment, he has no doubts. He just wants to walk into Daiyu's heart with his sincerity, so that Daiyu can completely accept his heart, his feelings, and his people.

Shui Rong and Daiyu talked about the idea of ​​the poems, they had many similarities but few differences, occasionally they had some disputes, and they both secretly praised each other in their hearts.

Shui Rong suddenly realized that today's Daiyu was different from the past, he stared at her like this, although she avoided it, she did not show a coldness of resistance.

How could Daiyu be ignorant of Shui Rong's intentions, how could she not understand Shui Rong's intentions?

It turned out that what Daoist Yiyun said yesterday had no effect on Lin Daiyu.When Lin Daiyu was sitting alone, she weighed the implication of Master's words over and over again, and carefully recalled the affection in Shui Rong's eyes. His eyes were sincere, his eyes were as clear as water, as pure and free of distracting thoughts as her own, and she saw the same pureness in his clean pupils. of myself.

Daiyu realizes that he respects her, he treats her sincerely, and has no intention of underestimating herself.

It was she who misunderstood him.

Daiyu respects Shui Rong as a human being, Shui Rong is modest and gentle, and treats her with respect. She is willing to take her as a confidant. It must be because she has the same interests as him. How could she have misunderstood his character? Wouldn’t it be a mistake? Own?Daiyu couldn't help feeling ashamed that she suspected him.

She turned a thousand times in her heart, and the warmth in her heart gradually became stronger, giving birth to a ray of love.

Daiyu found that the things that Shui Rong gave her were rarely gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade. What Shui Rong gave her was from her collection of books and warming pavilions. But it is extremely precious, even the lotus flower that cost nothing to carve just now, each petal has his own inch of heart, he sculpted it one by one in the cold wind, it is better than ten thousand taels of gold.

How could Daiyu's heart not be moved?

After talking for a while, Shui Rong's body had already warmed up, so he hurriedly moved the foot stove to Daiyu's feet, held the hand stove and handed it to Daiyu.

The poor two pity each other but don't know it.

Daiyu stretched out her slender hand to pick it up, and Shui Rong accidentally touched Daiyu's catkin, her breath stagnated, her heart seemed to stop beating, she lowered her head and looked affectionately at Daiyu's autumn eyes, and said in a shy voice, "I,"

Daiyu withdrew her slender hand holding the copper stove, and said in a low voice, "I know."

Turning around and walking towards the sunshine outside the pavilion, he said in his heart: I know your heart, but do you know mine?

Shui Rong stood in the pavilion, reminiscing about Daiyu's softness, thinking of his words "I know." Seeing Daiyu approaching the corner, Shui Rong called out as if thinking of something: "Junior Sister, let's go back to Jia's mansion tomorrow to visit." Mrs. Jia, your grandmother."

Daiyu looked back and smiled, "I see." The smile at that moment was as bright as the moon, just like Liu Yaohua smiling at Chuyan.

Water-soluble can't help but be infatuated.
