[Red Mansion] This world is a bit chaotic

"Brother Shui," Wei Beicui greeted, "Bring the pills again?"

Wei Beicui glanced at it, and saw that the small box Lin Daiyu received was exactly the same as the pill box she sent last time.

Shui Rong met Wei Beicui, and bowed his hands in salute: "Shui Rong met the second prince, and heard that the medicine sent last time worked well. I happened to have a few pills, so I sent it here."

Wei Beicui was taken aback, he remembered that those medicines were still in the imperial doctor's place, and they were not given to Wei Xinfang and Lin Hao, where did the medicine work well?

But Wei Beicui still smiled and thanked: "Brother Shui has a heart."

Shui Rong said again: "I have invited a few friends to discuss poetry and prose at the Tengda Teahouse next to the academy today. I wonder if the second prince and Miss Lin are interested in getting together? Ah, Miss Lin, don't worry, there are also many female students present. Miss Lin can be called Come with your classmates."

Wei Beicui said: "Poetry is not my strong point, so I won't join in the fun, brother Shui just enjoy himself."

Shui Rong showed an apologetic expression, but there was a hint of contempt in his downcast eyes. This second prince is really not a person who can be supported on the stage, and he doesn't know how to hide his shortcomings.

Wei Beicui is about the same height as Shui Rong, and I have never seen the contempt in Shui Rong's eyes, but Daiyu can see it clearly from the side, and I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. Speaking of it, her literary talent is Min Jing The school recognizes that it is good to be one of the best, but it does not feel that others are not as good as itself, nor does it think that others must be proficient in poetry to be considered talented, and it does not look down on others just because they are not good at composing poetry.

In particular, Wei Beicui has never shied away from this point, and is not ashamed of it. He is generous and shows admiration for those who are stronger than him. He is never arrogant to those who are not as good as him. On the contrary, no one is neglected because of this. to him.

Daiyu doesn't like water-melting attitude, and it's impossible for her younger brother to attend some academy while her younger brother is still ill, so she said, "Thank you Mr. Shui for your kindness, but my younger brother is still sick, I really don't have the mood."

After finishing speaking, Daiyu said again: "I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first. Thank you Mr. Shui for the pill."

After speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Shui Rong watched Lin Daiyu go away annoyed, because she had to take care of the patients, Lin Daiyu lived in seclusion, except for the formal exchange activities between several schools, she never participated in any activities such as poetry and literature meetings organized by students spontaneously.

Although he feels that even if there is no progress between him and Lin Daiyu this time, as long as the family proposes marriage to the Lin family, the Lin family will not be unwilling, but he is still very confident in his own charm, even in modern times, under the hands of Mu Zhen. When he was living like a dog, he still had a way to get Mu Zhen's girlfriend. Now, a boudoir girl who has never seen many methods of men, with her outstanding appearance and good family background, Isn't it easy to grab?

Now he finally got the chance to talk to Lin Daiyu, and relying on the kindness of giving medicine to bring them closer, it is time to take this opportunity to show off his charm, if he can invite some girls from Lin Daiyu to the afternoon party In the poetry club, he should show off his talent, not to mention getting a lot of people, at least it is easy to win some favors and impressions.

It's a pity that he was afraid that there would be other travelers in this world, so things like "withered vines, old trees, dark crows, small bridges and flowing water, people on ancient roads, west wind and thin horses. The sun sets, and heartbroken people are at the end of the world" fit Lin Daiyu's sentimental mood. He didn't dare to publish this masterpiece, otherwise, he was afraid that it would easily draw the sentimental sister Lin to tears. Wasn't that a good opportunity for him to comfort and spread his affection with his warm and soft words to bring him closer?It's a pity that the great plan is not easy to realize here.

But now, not only was the rare opportunity to speak interrupted by Wei Beicui, but also Lin Daiyu rejected his invitation.YouQi found that Wei Beicui frequently looked in the direction where Daiyu was leaving, and said to him: "Since Brother Shui has an appointment, I don't want to delay Brother Shui's time here, Brother Shui has to go to work on his own."

Shui Rong was ordered to evict guests, suddenly blessed to his heart, and finally understood Wei Beicui's thoughts, probably also plotting against Lin Daiyu, his heart sank, if both the Shui family and the royal family proposed marriage to the Lin family, who would the Lin family choose?I'm just afraid that my chances of winning are not great.

If this is the case, he can't fully expect to come to propose marriage after returning to Beijing, at least he needs to get Lin Daiyu's favor. In this regard, he is still very confident, as long as he is given a chance to get in touch with Lin Daiyu.

At that time, even if Lin Ruhai and his wife are greedy for royal power, they can't completely ignore their daughter's wishes. What's more, when his father succeeds in his great career in the future, Lin Daiyu's status will only be more noble than being a princess.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong didn't want to tell Wei Bei Cui much, so he also left.

Wei Beicui said goodbye to him with a smile, but looked at Shui Rong's back thoughtfully.

The father of Shui Rong, Hou Shuiqian of Beijing, was a general who led the army. He once guarded the northern border. He was transferred back to the capital due to an injury a few years ago. And the title, otherwise at least he is now at the level of the Minister of the Ministry of War, which is completely different from an earl like Jia She who only has a title.

Now this Shui Rong, as Shui Qian's heir, abandons literature and pursues martial arts, as Shui Qian announced to the outside world, because the tragedy of the eldest son is heart-wrenching, and he wants the youngest son to follow the path of a civil servant, so as not to be too reckless and make troubles and repeat the same mistakes?

Shui Qian was resentful, thinking that opera singers are lowly and he has outstanding military achievements, so why can't he accommodate him with just two sons?

But the emperor said, Shui Qian has made meritorious deeds, he has already awarded him a reward, and he owes nothing to Shui Qian, how could he use the lives of the common people to pay for Shui Qian's merits?

Shui Qian said that opera singers have low status, but after the founding of the dynasty, the low status was abolished, and opera singers are good citizens, people under the rule of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is only natural to kill people and pay for their lives. Since it is the law of the country, it must be obeyed.

The prince commits the same crime as the common people. This sentence is the same in ancient and modern times. The son of Shuiqian snatches a man/wife kills her husband, and finally forces the woman to jump into the lake to commit suicide.

The emperor knew that Shui Qian was dissatisfied, so he kept pressing Shui Qian to not allow him to come back. Although he had the rank of general of the third rank, he had no soldiers under him, and there was no room for him to intervene in the defense areas of the major training troops.But Shui Qian is also sensible, drinking and hunting at home, and going out to visit mountains and rivers every year, seems to be living a very chic life.

Compared with Shui Qian's low-key, Shui Rong's performance can be described as high-profile, and now in Jinling, he is still a corporal of courtesy and bribes people's hearts. kid?

I didn't have any contact with Shui Rong before, but I only heard about his name. Now that I think about it carefully, I haven't seen any masterpieces handed down by him, and I haven't heard of any amazing and impressive events he has done. However, the name of a gentleman has been spread all over the capital, which always makes him feel a little out of harmony and a bit unnatural.

Telling the hidden guards to keep a close eye on Shui Rong, Wei Beicui turned around and went after Lin Daiyu. He still insisted on checking the pill.Many people set traps, and they don't let you notice something is wrong the first time, but wait until you feel that there is nothing wrong, and then he will give you a hard time.

She didn't chase very far, but she saw Daiyu standing by the small pond, looking at a small red dragonfly on a lotus that was about to bloom.

Wei Beicui looked at the ethereal girl by the lotus pond, the patchwork of lotus flowers waiting to bloom, and the dragonflies flying among them, and suddenly couldn't help holding her breath, as if she was very afraid of waking up this quiet and beautiful painting .

It was Daiyu who noticed his gaze and looked back at him, only to see that he was staring at her blankly without speaking. The wind blew through the lotus leaves and made a slight sound, and the little red dragonfly suddenly landed on Daiyu. Yu's head.

Wei Beicui seemed to be bewitched, and slowly walked towards Daiyu, then stretched out her finger to reach for the little dragonfly, and slowly lifted it up, the little dragonfly fluttered its wings, but it didn't fly up, it just landed on Weibei Cui's finger was slowly moved to Daiyu's eyes.

When Wei Beicui stretched out her hand towards her, Daiyu couldn't help holding her breath, until the little dragonfly fell into her eyes, she let out a soft breath, smaller than the flutter of a dragonfly's wings .

"You... what are you doing?" Daiyu said, her voice was a little unnatural because of her breath holding just now, and because she was afraid of scaring away the little dragonfly, her voice was very low, and her breath was very light, a bit like exhaling. Orchid flavor.

"I... I don't know..." He told the truth as soon as he opened his mouth. Not only did Wei Beicui blush, but even the tips of his ears were so red that they were about to bleed. He didn't know what he was doing. That is, inexplicable.

Hearing Wei Beicui's nonsensical answer, Daiyu's face burned for some reason.

"Here, the dragonfly is very good and useful." In order to alleviate the feeling of embarrassment, Wei Beicui had an idea and handed the little dragonfly forward, but forgot that he didn't catch the dragonfly at all. The dragonfly just landed on his finger It's just a matter of time, he made a big move, and the little guy was startled away immediately.

"Ah!" Wei Beicui watched the little dragonfly fly away, blinked, a little bit like crying, why didn't even the dragonfly give him face.

Seeing his dumbfounded look, Daiyu couldn't help laughing again, she seemed to always see the shrewd and mischievous Second Prince in embarrassment and foolishness.

With this smile, the two suddenly realized that the distance between them was too close.

"Ah..." Daiyu was startled, and hurriedly took a step back, but accidentally stepped on a loose stone by the pond, and her figure suddenly wobbled.

Wei Beicui was about to back off, but when she saw this, she hurriedly took a thousand strides, grabbed Daiyu's arm, helped her stabilize her body, and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

To be honest, Daiyu was stabilized before she could feel panic, so she wasn't that scared. Instead, she felt that the palm of Wei Beicui holding her arm was very hot, and she twisted uncomfortably to break free. : "I'm fine."

Wei Beicui realized that she was being abrupt, quickly withdrew her hand, and scratched her head uncomfortably: "It's fine, there is no guardrail in the pond here, and although the water in the pond is not deep, it's not good if it falls into the water. Next time, don't come alone here……"

I don't know if it was because the summer wind was too hot, and the two felt their faces getting hotter and hotter. Daiyu twisted her fingers, touched the box in her hand, and hurriedly handed it to Wei Beicui: "This is the box that Mr. Shui sent just now." I remember that you wanted to show the imperial doctor, so here I give it to you." Waiting for you, I said a very ordinary sentence, but somehow it got on my lips and rolled back.

"Ah? Oh." Wei Beicui took it, and it seemed that it was only at this time that he remembered that he came to chase Daiyu for these few pills.

Should it be said that the two of them have a tacit understanding?

"It's okay...it's okay, I'm going back...Xinfang and Hao'er should take medicine..."

"Ah good."

Daiyu hurried a few steps, then suddenly turned around and asked him, "By the way, you just said that the little dragonfly is very useful, what's the use?"

"Uh, that, put the dragonfly in the tent, so that it can eat mosquitoes, so it won't be bitten by mosquitoes."
