Dream Continues Red Mansion: Melting Daixin

If you ask about the result of today, you should ask about the cause of the day before.

It's a pity that the person concerned didn't understand what Miaoyu explained to Baoyu.Mrs. Wang was suspicious about Jin Chuan and Qingwen, but Baochai persuaded Mrs. Wang to put aside her doubts.

Mrs. Wang La Baochai sat beside her and said, "You are so caring, I didn't love you in vain." She also praised Baochai in her heart for not being alarmed in the face of chaos. , but Baochai didn't show any signs of being at a loss on the face, always calm and confident. Maybe, it was really like what Aunt Xue and the others thought, but it was just a matter of spending more money.

In fact, Mrs. Wang's preference for Baochai was not only based on the Xue family's family business.The Xue family has long been deserted in front of the door, and Xue Pan is not easy, she knows it in her heart.But Baochai would flatter her and do things according to her heart, so she was naturally very comfortable and comfortable, and it would be easy for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other in the future.Of course, she was also thinking about Baoyu. Baochai would see her intentions as a mother-in-law, and follow her thoughts to persuade Baoyu to study and improve.As for Baoyu's worries, she doesn't care.Since ancient times, the thoughts of children have been controlled by their mothers.

And Baoyu did not dare to disobey her.

Baochai said softly: "Mother-in-law, I won't make it difficult for you. Tomorrow, I will go to the Beijing Palace to find out what Sister Lin is thinking. If Sister Lin is willing, you can just talk to your empress and ask her to ask the emperor to marry you."

Mrs. Wang smiled knowingly, and said apologetically, "Baoyu's act of becoming a son-in-law will wrong you." But she thought in her heart: If Lin Daiyu is willing to nod, if she can accommodate Baochai and Xiren, then let them stay. If Baochai and Xiren are not tolerated, she will decide to drive them out of the house.As long as it is beneficial to Baoyu, she has a choice.

Baochai's eyes turned red, and she said, "I'm fine. I'm looking forward to the reunion of Sister Lin and Baoyu, so that Baoyu won't feel uncomfortable again."

Mrs. Wang's face darkened, and she couldn't help thinking that in the future, Baoyu would only have Lin Daiyu in her heart and eyes. . . . . .

Baochai said nothing more.On the second day, Baoyu went out early and rushed to the Beijing Palace.

Shui Rong didn't return from court, so Baoyu sat and waited in front of the mansion gate, feeling uncertain about her thoughts.If he wanted to, he was willing to stay with Sister Lin, but when he thought of his mother, he lost his confidence.Xiang Yun is right, can he protect Sister Lin?His mother had gradually revealed that she disliked Sister Lin, but why?Sister Lin is so beautiful, intelligent, can talk and laugh, and is knowledgeable and courteous. Why doesn't his mother like it?He can't go beyond the code of ethics and commit the crime of unfilial piety.He asked himself over and over again, is it because Xunniang gave birth to him and raised him, so he should obey her and his arrangements in everything, no matter whether she is right or wrong?

Last night Mrs. Wang suddenly brought him to her room early, and he said that he would ask Sister Lin to marry him and be his wife.Baochai, who hangs her head, serves Mrs. Wang kindly and kindly. She is not unhappy in the slightest, but repeatedly comforts Baoyu that she and Sister Lin are like sisters.Baoyu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and there were smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows.I thought that my mother would not agree, there was no hope in this life, and the pain in my heart came to me, but unexpectedly, before he could speak, Mrs. Wang had already made a decision, and he couldn't believe the news. Overjoyed, he completely forgot Xiangyun's concerns.

He was about to see sister Lin, and he couldn't wait.

Finally saw the water-soluble chariot, escorted back home by two teams of men and horses.He saw Sun Shaozu next to Shui Rong, and he wanted to ask him why he married his second sister, but didn't treat her well?Make her cry?If there is a chance, he made up his mind to discuss this matter.Suddenly thinking of my indifference to Baochai and Xiren, I sigh in my heart, who can tell clearly about this matter between men and women?

Shui Rong gets off the car and goes to the study with Baoyu.Seeing that Baoyu's expression was uncertain, Shui Rong asked, "What difficulties have you encountered?"

Baoyu blushed, and whispered a little shyly: "My lord, Baoyu regards you as a friend, and you saved Baoyu's life. I have always only talked to you about my thoughts."

Shui Rong looked calm, but said clearly in his eyes: "You want to ask about those few days."

Baoyu dabbed the lacquer with bright eyes, stared fixedly at Shui Rong, and nodded.

Shui Rong got up and paced back and forth: "You only remember me. In fact, it was Miss Lin who went to the gate of hell first to save you. At that time, Miss Lin's soul was separated from her body, and only her breath was alive. She was met by my mother and concubine, so she came to me. Really save you The person in question is Miss Lin."

Shui Rong recounted the scene of that day in detail, and Baoyu was not only shocked, but also had tears streaming down her cheeks, and even listening to other people's stories was enough to move people.

According to what he said, his cousin, Sister Lin, is a weak woman who is about to be blown away by the wind, and needs someone to take care of her. She would rather hurt herself to save her because of the warmth and affection he once gave her!

Is he worthy of such a woman?

And Sister Lin should have seen through his former friendship long ago, and had no love for him.

He is but a rock.

Baoyu couldn't help but gradually become filthy, and felt that she was filthy all over her body.Baoyu cried: "Yan Jun wants me to forget Sister Lin, but how can I forget? Sister Lin, how is her injury? She has always been weak, and because of me, she will be ill again for a while."

The original joy has long since disappeared, so why should he beg Sister Lin to marry him?Sister Lin has a noble heart, and doesn't care about the status of the rich, the high or the low, but is his heart noble?Is Jia Mansion a noble mansion?

Shui Rong also felt the friendship between their brothers and sisters, and said: "Miss Lin is fine now, just don't worry."

Baoyu's heartache is deeply felt by Shui Rong, but even if he realizes it, so what?Shui Rong sighed in his heart: "What are your plans in the mansion?"

Junior sister is already a princess, so the Jia family should do something, Shui Rong let out a cold snort in his heart.If he wants to get his junior sister's idea, he will not agree to it. Even if it is seen as a slasher, he will not let it go, and he will not let his junior sister be bullied for no reason.

A flash of joy flashed across Baoyu's face, and then his eyes dimmed and he said, "The young prince has already guessed it, and I won't hide it from you. My mother has already agreed to the marriage." Rubbing her hands, she shook her head and said, "I know I'm not worthy. I'm afraid that the young prince also despises Baoyu. I just want to see Sister Lin, and I'm all brother and sister."

Shui Rong pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for you to meet her."

In fact, Shui Rong doesn't want Daiyu to see Baoyu, Baoyu's appearance will inevitably increase Daiyu's recollection of the unbearable past, and he can't bear Daiyu to feel sad again.But this family relationship is constantly talking. Seeing it, Daiyu's concern for Baoyu will be saved.Let their brothers and sisters get together, and many knots in their hearts should be untied.It's just that the junior sister may not be able to forgive some people in the Jia family.

Shui Rong nodded to Wei Ruolan, and Wei Ruolan left in a hurry.

Not long after, Wei Ruolan came back and said, "Miss Lin is waiting for Mr. Jia in the plum garden."

Jia Baoyu was led by Wei Ruolan, and as he walked, thoughts tossed in his heart. He really wanted to see Sister Lin as soon as possible, but he was afraid of seeing Sister Lin, so timid, he walked towards the plum garden step by step.

After Baoyu walked out of the study, Zhi Qiaowan walked into the study lightly with her head bowed, her eyes were red.

Shui Rong couldn't help asking with concern: "Sister Wan, what's wrong with you?"

Zhi Qiaowan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just heard about Sister Lin and felt touched. It turned out that her relatives really treated her ruthlessly, but she was so righteous. Do you have such relatives?" She grew up carefree and happy in the palace, her heart was not polluted by the secular world, and she could not appreciate the indifference of family affection in the world.

She didn't understand what the old concubine said at first. She had been in the palace since she was a child, and everyone in the palace treated her like her own family. She felt only warmth and comfort. She only showed her nature, but she never thought of Well, the kind of life Lin Daiyu lived, she had to be careful every step of the way in front of her own family, and it was heartbreaking to pay attention to everything.

How could she understand the misery in Daiyu's heart?And Miss Lin, who was discriminated against, was able to repay the favor of her relatives regardless of her own life or death.

"Can I do it too?" whispered softly, eyes misty.

Shui Rong's eyes were as light as water, but his face sank, thinking: I tried to avoid her as much as possible, not because I was really ruthless to her, but because I didn't want her to have a deep love for me, why didn't she realize it?

Zhi Qiaowan also saw Shui Rong's eyes, but there was no shadow of her in the starlight.My heart hurts slightly, why?She is also as weak and helpless as Miss Lin, she always needs the care and love of her cousin, and she also wants to be supported like a mountain by her cousin, but why can't she get his love?

I couldn't help but want to reveal the intimacy with my cousin since I was a child, but suddenly felt that there was a subtle change between her and my cousin.

It's not her who lives in the plum garden, her cousin's heart will never linger for her, she only realized today.

If you act cute again, you will make your cousin look down upon you more, Zhi Qiaowan straightened up, raised her face as thin as a chrysanthemum, and asked the question in her heart: "Cousin, Sister Lin lives in your favorite house." Meiyuan?"

It turned out that in the morning Daiyu went to the old concubine's bedroom to greet her. Zhi Qiaowan couldn't help getting close to Daiyu. They were so thin and sympathetic to each other. There is a feeling of sympathy.

When leaving the palace, Zhi Qiaowan and Lin Daiyu held hands and walked slowly in the garden.

Zhi Qiaowan apologized and said: "Sister Lin, I have regarded the palace as my home since I was a child, and I am closer to my aunt and cousin than to my parents and brother, and my cousin treats me like my own family. Sister Lin, don't take it to heart if you do something inappropriate."

Daiyu smiled softly, fresh and beautiful like a hibiscus.

As soon as Zhiqiao Wan's heart widened, he was a little dazzled by her carefree smile, and said after a long while: "I am familiar with every corner of the palace, most of the gardens have taken Sister Lin to, only the other courtyard and my cousin's Mei Others are not allowed to enter those two places. In fact, my cousin is very lonely. You can see that he seems to be gentle with others, but if he really violates his will and touches his important things, he will Angry, that face is frighteningly cold."

Daiyu's heart moved, and she immediately thought of her outer garden. Could it be that the plum garden she was talking about was that garden, there were many plum blossoms in that garden, and Shui Rong regarded it as her outer garden.

Shui Rong sees her differently, Zhi Qiaowan sees it, wouldn't it hurt her heart.

Daiyu then stopped at the fork in the road, and said to Zhiqiao Wan, "Let's send Sister Wan here. You and I are both weak, so we can't walk much."

Zhi Qiaowan nodded after thinking about it, and the two parted ways and walked away. Zhi Qiaowan was curious after all, You moved slowly, looked up to see where Daiyu had gone, but saw Daiyu and her party entered the Yuanzi, Zhi Qiaowan's heart trembled, it was my cousin's plum garden.

Her heart tightened.Why?

At this time, Zhiqiao Wanjian asked sharply: "Cousin, can I enter the plum garden?"

The junior sister lives in the plum garden, but Zhi Qiaowan has never been in it. Shui Rong knows that Zhi Qiaowan's heart is a little hurt. He had to be cruel to his cousin in the past and not let her interfere in everything he did.Her cousin was also fresh and pleasant, with outstanding talents and looks, but he always regarded her as his own sister, and never had the slightest affection between men and women.If he was soft-hearted towards her, wouldn't he be harming his cousin.

Shui Rong nodded lightly and said, "As long as Miss Lin likes it."

Zhi Qiaowan smiled indifferently, sure enough, he did everything for Miss Lin.

－－－－ Beifu Plum Garden

The more awe-inspiring the snowy wind, the stronger the integrity of the flowers.

When it is outdated, it will drift away, and I am ashamed to beg for mercy from Dongjun

Baoyu walked outside the courtyard where Daiyu lived, and saw several red and white plums that were thin and slanted out of the white wall.

The young prince Shui Rong's favorite plum garden, the courtyard that people are not easily allowed to enter, is Shui Rong's own courtyard.In the yard, there is white snow all over the place, and the red plums and white plums with icy muscles and jade bones, unique early spring, and lingering fragrance in the cold are in full bloom. The red ones are like fire, and the white ones are better than snow. The plum blossoms are fragrant; and the branches of the plum tree are full of charm in the vigorous and jagged; the branches of the plum blossom are either curved like a dragon, or they are invincible and full of rhythm.

At this time, Daiyu was half annoyed and half happy. It turned out that Baochai had just left, and Zijuan had cleaned the ground with clean water and discarded the chair that Baochai had sat on.

Naturally, Baochai came here to fulfill Mrs. Wang's concerns.

Baochai stepped into the folding door of the hollowed-out hall, turned around the screen painted with red plums, and saw Yingchun playing chess with Daiyu in the hall.

Just as Baochai was about to meet Yingchun, she suddenly remembered Daiyu's identity, turned her face solemnly and gave Daiyu a national gift, feeling very uncomfortable.

Daiyu didn't go to help her, but Yingchun helped her up.

Baochai didn't mind, she sat calmly and gracefully in the spacious hall, looked around the furnishings, and saw that the hall was warm as spring, there were several carved and gold-plated pillars around the hall, in front of the hall was a long rosewood table, and Two hollow carved tables and chairs.There are cloisonne vases one person tall in the four corners of the hall, and there is a grandfather clock in the middle of the hall, which makes the sound of the second hand moving.

There are also small flowers that she can't name in bloom in the hall, making people forget for a moment that it is cold and windy outside.

This hall only feels elegant, but not dignified. Baochai can't help shaking her head secretly.

Baochai smiled and said: "Sister Lin just likes these flowers. They are grassy, ​​and they can't be changed anywhere. It is serious to do more needlework when you have time, or learn from housekeeping."

Daiyu said in her heart: If she doesn't find out some shortcomings and say it, it seems that she can't open her mouth.I'm afraid that in her view, everyone is not perfect, and she is the only one who is impeccable.

Zijuan was pouring tea at first, but when she heard the words, she poured boiling water into the bowl, cast a glance at Baochai and said, "Miss Bao is of course smarter than anyone else, otherwise how could she be favored by the empress."

Baochai didn't care about Zicuckoo, but looked away.

Daiyu smiled sweetly, and stopped her and said, "I'm not like my second sister-in-law. I'm used to simplicity. I can talk and do it. I just follow my heart and talk about these flowers and plants without disturbing others. I also ask Second sister-in-law, you always say you don’t like flowers, pink ones, but why do you wear the red ones inside? You also wear honey yellow clothes at home?”

Baochai said with a smile: "I just want not to waste the material. I happen to have it at home. It is not a waste to leave it for nothing."

Daiyu also laughed and said, "Really, Sister Bao can still calculate."

Baochai said with concern in her tone: "Sister Lin, if you should be frugal, you should be frugal, if you should add, you should add, when you should give up, you should give up, if you should hide, you should hide, and if you should reveal it, you should reveal it. I usually save, But before I came to see you, I donated money for the victims of the disaster, and accompanied my aunt to personally send it outside the harem. The harem knows that we have done our best and worked hard to earn enough face for the empress. Even the queen knows that the women of the Jia family are dedicated to the emperor. Share your worries. This time I entered the palace, and I got some good news, the empress is very happy."

Lin Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "I'm not as good as my second sister-in-law, but the empress should take care of her body."

Baochai said with concern: "Sister Lin, I'm not talking about you. My sister always stays away from things that are famous and profitable."

Daiyu glanced at the red plum tree in the white snow and remained silent.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't want to listen, Baochai shut up knowingly. This is not Jia's mansion, so she should be more cautious.There was an embarrassing atmosphere between the two of them, so Baochai talked to Yingchun in a neutral way, and also shared his experience in "The Induction of the Supreme Being".

Leaning a little, Baochai turned around, got up and walked to Daiyu's seat, facing Daiyu, leaned slightly, looked at Daiyu's face, and said, "Sister Lin, I want to ask you, have I always treated Daiyu?" You are like my own sister, and my mother treats you like her own daughter." There was affection on her face, just like her own sister.

Lin Daiyu's heart flashed the warmth of being with her in the past, and a trace of family affection surged up from the bottom of her heart.

Xue Baochai continued: "The medicine you took is gone, I brought it from home."

Suddenly Baochai jumped in front of Daiyu with a cold smile, and Daiyu made a smart move.Daiyu smiled inwardly, and finally got to the point, Baochai must have something to ask of her.She looked at Baochai with great interest, and listened quietly to what she said.The last trace of family affection with Baochai also faded.

Baochai sighed heavily and said, "Our family treats you like our own family. My brother also treats you like his own sister. If my mother didn't stop me, I sincerely hope that you can be my sister-in-law. Our Xue family depends on him. The business is supported. It's a pity that my brother will get into trouble and commit crimes if he doesn't live up to his expectations. Good sister, I'm here today to tell you that my brother has been imprisoned, and you should save her anyway. We didn't hurt her in vain You one."

Daiyu heard her voice fall, Fang said: "Second sister-in-law, I don't know about your brother. Besides, I'm just a woman, I have no right or position, how can I save your brother? And your own husband's family can save it." , you didn’t come to me to seek distance.”

Baochai's snow-white face showed an imperceptible trace of doubt: "I've already asked for everything, and my father-in-law also came forward. It's almost the same. I thought, this time it's Dongping Wang Shaowang who handles the case, and one more person will contribute. Brother's The matter is simpler. It was just a trivial matter that cost a little more money. In the past, murder cases were also handled lightly and skillfully."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "I'm penniless and alone, so I don't have the ability to help you."

Seeing that Daiyu was unsympathetic, Baochai smiled brightly and said, "With Sister Lin's current status, how can she not help? It's just that Sister Lin doesn't want to. Well, I won't mention this matter, as long as Sister Lin is happy alone. gone."

Seeing Zijuan and Xueyan staring at her coldly, especially the maids in the palace were not pretending to her, Baochai sighed in her heart, when is she no longer that Xue who put her first in everything in Jia's mansion? Where is Missy?

Baochai said with concern: "It's not a long-term plan for my sister to live here. Why don't you go back to Jia's mansion. The old lady misses you, and Baoyu misses you too."
