Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

"You said that Baoyu's psychic Baoyu disappeared?" The lake brush in Daiyu's hand fell on the rice paper, and the polluted ink gradually smeared, destroying the painted ink lotus picture.

Zijuan's brows were frowning, and she helped Daiyu who got up suddenly, and said, "Miss, don't be in a hurry. Now, except for the old lady who is hiding from the illness, the old ladies and grandma who are in charge of the house have already rushed over. Let's go slowly."

"Isn't that jade always in the care of Sister Xiren? Why did it suddenly disappear?" Daiyu wanted to sit down but was restless, and finally closed her ginger yellow embroidered bamboo cloak and said, "Let's go to Yihong Check it out."

Before stepping into the Yihong courtyard, I heard Yihong Kuailu's noisy voice. The slightly sharp voice seemed to be what Mrs. Xing said. Daiyu, who was walking up the steps, stopped when she heard her speak, and heard Mrs. Xing's words. Said: "Now you are suspicious and complaining about Huan'er for a piece of jade. You should also find the person you should be looking for in normal times. Anyway, this piece of jade has been smashed and dropped many times."

The soreness that was suppressed in the chest surged up, and Zijuan supported Daiyu worriedly, and heard Mrs. Xing in the room say again: "Since we want to investigate, we must search all the people who have been to Yihong Courtyard in the past few days. Once again, let's check the Grand View Garden again, so as not to lose things in vain, and there is no reason to find out."

Looking sideways at the green calyx blooming just right in the Yihong Courtyard, Daiyu stood on the steps in front of the door for a long time, finally sighed softly, turned around and supported Zijuan's hand and went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.Perhaps, she shouldn't have come here in the first place!Stepping on the white snow lightly, leaving only the messy footprints on the snow!

Baoyu's psychic Baoyu shines brightly when the snow first melts, lying in the white snow in front of the dry begonia in Yihong Courtyard.The sun is strong, and the light from the precious jade penetrates people's hearts!

Daiyu just smiled when she heard the news, and looked down at the book in her hand indifferently, the sadness and despair that spread layer by layer had gradually smoothed her mind.When she was young, she would care about and complain, but now she neither complains nor hates, because the psychic gem and the golden lock have never been a horizontal wall blocking the marriage of wood and stone.

When I saw Baoyu entering the garden again, it was the time when the winter snow had melted and the peach blossoms were budding.When he came, he just asked Zijuan and Xueyan about Daiyu's daily food in a low voice, and then sat silently aside, his bright eyes were dimmed, as if he understood a lot!

Daiyu has been painting ink lotus since autumn, and the blue and white porcelain vase next to the table has been filled with rolls of scrolls.Baoyu went up to pick up one of the volumes, opened it for a closer look, and then opened the other volume.Although they are all Mohe, each volume is different.

Daiyu saw him open the scroll and put down his pen, smiled, and said, "What does Second Master Bao want to comment on these ink lotuses?" The clever and clear face seemed to be the same talented, coquettish and pitiful Sister Lin from before!

"Is Miss Lin there?" Amber asked from a distance outside the door.

Zijuan stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and said with a smile, "Why is Sister Hu Po here? The girl is here."

Amber came in, saw Baoyu was there, and said, "It just so happens that Second Master Bao is also there. The old lady asked me to invite Second Master and Miss Lin to visit." Daiyu was slightly taken aback. Isn't Jia's mother ill?How could they let them pass by? Thinking about it this way, I finally put on my cloak and followed Amber to the courtyard of Jiamu Garden.

Before reaching Jiamu's room, Yuanyang came out wiping her tears. Seeing Baoyu and Daiyu forced a smile, she said, "Second Master, Miss Lin, the old lady is waiting for you inside."

Daiyu's heart sank, and she hurriedly walked into the house. When she got there, she saw Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing sitting on one side, and Jia's mother leaning on the soft couch, her gray hair and muddy eyes no longer had the spirit of the past.Daiyu held back the soreness in her nose, walked over with light lotus steps, and said softly, "Grandmother, Yu'er is here."

Seeing Baoyu and Daiyu coming in together, Mrs. Wang pulled Baoyu by her side, and said with a smile, "Baoyu is bothering your sister Lin again? Your sister Lin is not healthy and is always disturbed by you. How can you take care of her?" keep?"

Listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Jia Mu turned her head to look at her, and said lightly: "Baoyu and Daiyu grew up together. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts. In the past, Baoyu lived in the garden and did not disturb Daiyu's rest. Now Of course not."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and said with a pleasant smile: "The old lady is very right. It is the daughter-in-law who is impatient. I am always afraid that Baoyu will disturb the purity of the eldest girl." Then she said to Baoyu: "If you want to go out, at least follow Xiren, let me tell you, when I came here just now, I saw her scavenging around the yard like ants in a hot pot. If I didn’t tell you, it’s just that she didn’t serve her properly.”

Baoyu stood with his hands down, bowed his head and said, "When I came out, sister Xiren was in the wife's room. It's not good to disturb the wife, so I went out first."

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "It can be seen that Xiren is still very dedicated to the second wife. He even told the second wife everything in Baoyu's room. The second wife should treat Xiren well and give her a treat in the future My aunt's position is not bad." As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and said with a smile, "I heard that Xiren's monthly money was drawn from the second wife's monthly money, so she has already been my aunt."

Mrs. Wang's face was livid for a moment when she heard it, but she opened her eyes and smiled at Jia Mu: "Although attacking people is good, it is not as good as it is. Now Baoyu is still young, and when he marries a regular wife and comes in, he will not talk about taking in his aunt." Late."

Mother Jia waved her hand wearily, and said lightly: "You have been with me for a long time, and you all go back. There are still many things waiting for you to deal with. Now that Feng girl is ill, there is still a lack of management in the house." people." Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing responded quickly after hearing this, and went with their maidservants.

Mother Jia watched the two of them leaving quietly, then turned her head and took Baoyu with one hand and Daiyu with the other and sat beside her, smiling, "You were still children when I held the two of you back then, now When I grow up, my grandmother loses her energy for many things."

He didn't say a word, just took the hands of the two of them in his arms and held them gently, and then let go after a long time, and said with a smile: "I'm old, I don't have the energy to chat and laugh with you, go back and rest. "As he spoke, he let go of their hands and quietly turned his back.The tears in the corners of Yuanyang's eyes couldn't help but fell down, and hurriedly wiped them away, looked at Daiyu with a smile and said: "Miss Lin, the old lady has something to give you."

Holding the small box that Yuanyang handed over, Yuanyang pressed her open hand, and said with a smile: "This is a tonic prepared by the old lady, the girl just takes it back, and let Zijuan serve the girl well."

Daiyu smiled, and only handed the box in her hand to Zijuan, and said to Yuanyang: "My good sister, please take care of grandma."

When he reached the fork in the road, Baoyu stopped, and saw Xiren and Sheyue standing at the intersection from a distance, Daiyu said lightly: "Second brother, go back." Without looking back, she held Zijuan's hand and went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and go.

The peach blossoms are scattered in spring, and today is Tanchun's birthday. When Daiyu walked into Qiushuangzhai, she saw Tanchun's master and servant lying on the table and didn't know what to do. Is the waiter staying in the house?"

Seeing Daiyu come in, Tanchun smiled and said, "I remember the kite we flew that year, and now I want to figure out a pattern by myself and ask my mother-in-law to go out and order one. It's a good season for kite flying at this time."

Daiyu took the pattern on the case, it was a phoenix flying away with its wings outstretched, the splendor of soaring across the sky made Daiyu smile, and said: "It is always said that the fourth younger sister draws the best. The younger sister is the master in this painting."

"Third Miss, the old lady invites you to come over. Grand Concubine Nan'an wants to see you." Zhou Rui's family hurried in, saw Daiyu was there, and said with a smile, "Miss Lin is here too." Grand Concubine Nan'an?Tanchun and Daiyu looked at each other, got up in a hurry, turned to the inner room to let the book attendant change clothes, smiled apologetically, "Sister Lin, me."

Daiyu's heart sank slightly, but she smiled on her face and said, "Go, third sister." When she walked to the Qinfang Bridge, Daiyu felt her chest sore, her eyes were slightly hot, and she was about to shed tears.Sitting quietly leaning against the railing, looking at the peach blossom petals drifting under the bridge, I suddenly remembered the phoenix I saw in Tanchun, and my anxiety grew stronger.

When the sun is high, the Qinfang Bridge is also smudged with a gentle spring sun.Zijuan stood on one side and persuaded Daiyu several times, but Daiyu just pretended not to hear, Zijuan had no choice but to stand with her on the Qinfang Bridge.

"The Concubine of Nan'an recognized the third girl as her righteous daughter." A voice came from afar, and Daiyu felt her heart sink to the bottom of the valley. She stood up and supported Zijuan's hand to step across the Qinfang Bridge and walked to Xiaoxiang Pavilion .

The prince of Nan'an was defeated and captured, and the government and the public were shocked. Most of the officials in the court advocated peace, which was used to eliminate the many days of war and return the prince of Nan'an.I heard from Baoyu a few days ago that he was filled with righteous indignation at that time, saying that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were so decadent that he wanted to entrust the burden of the country on the slender shoulders of his weak daughter.But he didn't expect that it would be Tanchun who would marry far away!

It turns out that these ladies of the Duke's family are nothing more than pawns that can be requisitioned by those with greater power at any time!
