Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

"Miss Lin is leaving?" Turning the teacup in her hand and putting it on the stone table, she stood up and looked down at the golden chrysanthemums and red maples placed next to the railing. beauty!

Daiyu stood up, looked at the sea of ​​flowers and maple forest that made people lose their minds, and said softly: "Thank you for your kindness these days, but I have troubled you too much, we will leave tomorrow." What Shui Rong did to her For everything she felt grateful and unrequited trepidation.

After a long while of silence, only the sound of the wind was heard, the afterglow of the setting sun slowly fell on the cheeks, the soft halo seemed to cover everything on the earth with a layer of tulle, the sunlight between the leaves was like sifted gold covering the forest, water soluble Suddenly she turned around and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, do you want to know why this place is called Jingxinyuan?"

Daiyu glanced at him in astonishment, lowered her head, and said with a faint smile, "This is indeed a good place to meditate." The distant mountains dyed with ink, the flower sea and maple forest like a fairyland, the secluded and clear lake water .No matter how chaotic your mind is here, you will calm down and calm down!

Shui Rong didn't answer, but stood leaning on the railing with his hands clasped and his elbows supported.The long body is like a tall and straight white fir tree, the light blue python robe is tied with a jade belt, and the deep eyes are like water in a deep pool, and there is no end in sight!

"If you want to go back to Suzhou, you have to go through Pingan Prefecture, whether by land or water. Now that the Marquis of Xinyang in Ping'an Prefecture is rebelling, the war has not yet subsided, and the borders of Ping'an Prefecture are in chaos. How can Miss Lin go back to Suzhou?" Her slender fingers clasped the poplar railing under her hand. .

"This?" She had never thought about such a thing, because she had never walked this road alone, and she was a little anxious.Looking down at the embroidered shoes embroidered with green bamboo, a touch of melancholy welled up in my heart.After thinking for a while, he said with a faint smile, "I'm just an ordinary person passing through Ping'an Prefecture, thank you for your trouble."

Years of thoughts turned to nothing, so why stay here to add to the sadness?The due wish has been fulfilled, and the due guardianship has been repaid, so why stay here?

The bottom is like a flame of maple red covering one layer, so bright and beautiful, Shui Rong looked up at the setting sun sliding below the horizon, and said with a faint smile: "Since the girl is determined to leave, this king will not stop it. If the girl really has no You can go anywhere, girls are welcome here at any time." Then she turned around, looked at Daiyu with a smile, and said, "Young lady is leaving tomorrow, so you should rest well." Stepping down the steps of the pavilion, the light blue The figure gradually disappeared into the red maple sky!

The morning sun is just born, and everything is silent in its rare and gentle light. The autumn chrysanthemums with dewdrops are like golden flowers inlaid with pearls.

Stepping out of the Jingxin Garden, looking back at the clear and full of Junxiu, she smiled lightly, and helped Zijuan's hand into the carriage that had already been prepared.The bamboo green cloak inlaid with white bamboo leaves wrapped Daiyu's exquisitely delicate face.The distance is misty, and the invisible road is just like the road in her heart, hazy and chaotic, but she wants to see the road ahead clearly through the fog!

The small river flows slowly in late autumn, without the quietness of spring and the panting of summer, only peace and tranquility remain.The green grass and wild flowers on the shore have already withered and waited for the next reincarnation to be revived, but this small river has watched the flowers on both sides of the bank bloom and fall day after day, year after year, autumn and winter come!

The sound of the wheels came softly, and Daiyu leaned on the carriage quietly lost in thought.Zijuan looked at Daiyu who closed her eyes and meditated, sighed softly, and said softly: "Why must the girl return to Suzhou now? The road to the south is not peaceful now." She couldn't see why Shui Rong wanted to save Daiyu, but It is really not a good time to go back to the south at this time.

Daiyu leaned against the carriage and smiled slightly, and said, "Now is not the time, so when is the best time?" Since you have to leave, why bother procrastinating, it's getting in the way.Open the curtain of the car and look at the other side of the river, a small house with blue bricks and black tiles, so ordinary and clean, only a wisp of green smoke swaying with the morning breeze!

Seeing the house slowly disappearing into the morning mist, Daiyu just looked away.I don't know whether the moisture in the corners of the eyes is the morning mist or tears, and the long eyelashes are covered with a thin layer of mist!

After traveling for half a day, the carriage arrived at the ferry in Kyoto. There was an endless stream of boats coming and going at the ferry, just like the carriages carrying sedan chairs on land. Daiyu was a little at a loss looking at the boats coming and going.She had never been in a boat alone, and she didn't even know where to start, for fear of taking the wrong step at the first step.

Some of those ships were carved, some simple and generous, and some of the bows were covered with red lanterns and filled with goods.The shout of sailing pierced the noisy sky, Daiyu stared blankly at the slender hands twisting the handkerchief, at a loss!

Fortunately, not long after, the coachman who was driving the carriage ran up and said, "Mr. Lin, the boat ahead is ready, please come aboard, Mr. Lin." Daiyu looked down at the long white brocade gown with a waist and five colors of butterflies tied around her waist. Sitao, ordinary attire looks like a son of an ordinary family.

Putting the bamboo green cloak in the package, Zijuan and Xueyan got out of the carriage first, supported Daiyu and followed the coachman to the designated boat.

Dai Yufu frowned slightly when she entered the flamboyant and magnificent boat, it was covered with pictures of ladies from the Tang Dynasty, and the fragrance of makeup and powder rushed to her face.What she saw was a full-length mirror inlaid with gold and precious stones, and the dowry jewelry placed on it was mostly gold ornaments. Such a rich and tacky decoration made Daiyu frowned, turned around and walked out of the cabin. Smelling a rush of alcohol, Zijuan Xueyan no longer knew where to go.

"What a handsome Mr. Lin." The slick and frivolous emphasis came along with the smell of wine, and Daiyu unknowingly took three steps back, her face changed, and she was cold with a bit of panic.

The swaying ship told her that the ship had started, and Daiyu walked quickly to the window and saw that the ship had left the port, her pretty face turned pale.Lightly moving lotus steps to the dressing table, holding a phoenix hairpin with a very sharp head in his sleeve, he looked coldly at King Nan'an who was getting closer and closer.

"King Hegaiben and Miss Lin are predestined, no, we are in the same boat." As he spoke, he sat crookedly on the chair at the side, put Daiyu's cold, angry and frightened face in his eyes, and said loudly: " Dressing up as a man is really unique."

The slender hand holding the dressing table trembled slightly, and her white knuckles already showed her nervousness and fear.She was puzzled and thought about everything on the way, but she still didn't know what went wrong. The driver who drove the car was arranged by Shui Rong, so how could she be brought to Nan'an Wang Shuilu's boat?

Shui Lu stood up and walked a few steps forward. Daiyu held tightly the phoenix hairpin in her sleeve, and said coldly: "Stop, don't come over." From the very beginning when she decided to return to the south, she should have thought of this road. Dangerous, after all, she is too naive to be raised in a deep boudoir!

Shui Lu looked at Daiyu's defensive look and laughed, pointed to the decorations in the boat, and said with a smile: "I know that Miss Lin is from a noble family, so this king has arranged this cabin very magnificently. I want to come to Miss Lin You also like it very much, don’t you? Which woman doesn’t love gold, silver and jewelry, if Miss Lin is willing, all the gold and jewelry here will be yours.”

"As the king of the royal family, he did such shameless and indecent things, it's completely embarrassing to the Nan'an Palace." Daiyu was extremely panicked, looking sideways at the vast water surface, tears were about to fall down. .

Shui Lu staggered and walked quickly, rushed to Daiyu and said: "Miss Lin is a lady of everyone, and this king is the king of the royal family. It is not an insult to the girl's identity that this king accepts Miss Lin as a side concubine." Daiyu In desperation, Yu grabbed the dowry and jewelry on the table and threw them over, her face pale with fright.The water vapor rising from the surface of the water wrapped her thin body coldly, Daiyu was dizzy, and the figures in front of her eyes seemed to overlap to form two people.

The white figure leaping onto the window sill knocked Shui Lu unconscious on the ground while waving his sleeves.His figure moved slightly, his phoenix eyes were awe-inspiring, he had already stepped forward to hold Daiyu who had fainted suddenly, and jumped out of the cabin to the boat beside him.

The clear waves on the water were like a complete jasper carving, and he hugged the fainted Daiyu in the cabin, and the doctor beside him was already waiting.Diagnosed the pulse through the bead curtain, turned around and said respectfully: "My lord, don't worry, this young master is just overly frightened, I will prescribe two doses of tranquilizing medicine for him later, and he will be fine."

When Daiyu woke up faintly, she could only hear the jingle of wind chimes, and the fragrance of chrysanthemums from afar made her sit up abruptly.The familiar furnishings and bed curtains made her feel a little dazed. She walked to the window and stroked the pot of small orchids before confirming that this was not a dream.Thinking of what she had experienced was like a dream, the shock was still there but the scene had changed to a place that was familiar to her and reassuring.

The sound of "squeak" pushing the door awakened Daiyu, who was still in deep thought, her body trembled in fear, and when she turned her head, she saw Shui Rong leaning against the door quietly, looking at her with eyes like water.

Daiyu lowered her head in embarrassment, but found that she was wearing a silver pajamas with pressed edges, her face was like flying clouds.Not daring to raise his head again, he hurriedly hid behind the screen, put on his coat very quickly, sat behind the screen and dared not come out anyway.

Blocked by the screen of Susha, Daiyu could see his figure falling on it, and he didn't turn around the screen, but just sat down on the chair by the window, and said calmly: "The groom driving the carriage is no longer the one prepared by the king. You were replaced before you left here."

Daiyu stared blankly at his figure, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I'm sorry." After saving her time and time again, she didn't know what to say.

Returning to Jingxinyuan, it seems that nothing has changed.Shui Rong still doesn't see him very often, but every time he comes, he just listens to Daiyu playing the piano quietly, or quietly looks at the scenery of Jingxin Garden, but doesn't talk much.

Daiyu was a little uneasy, she didn't know what she could give in return for Shui Rong by living here.Thinking of the many jewels that Lin Ruhai left for her that day in the package, they were spread out on the bed, but Daiyu was worried, she didn't know how to give it to him.
