The Rongjudai of the Red Chamber

Autumn leaves are yellowing, maple leaves are red, in late autumn, autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the sky is high and crisp, but it is the time when wild geese return to the south. Looking at the rows of wild geese flying over the house, Daiyu sighs softly and turns back to In the house!

Putting down the Xiang curtain, Daiyu sat down lightly, the clear water slid over the slender white hands, dried the jade hands, adjusted the dress, burned the fragrance, calmed down, turned to look at the Jiuxiaohuan Peiqin under the window, stroked the strings with her bare hands, and played a song "Autumn Water", set against the refreshing autumn wind, the sound of the piano is high and clear, empty and pure, but it also has the meaning of mourning and sorrow, and the crystal clear cheeks are dripping with jade dew!

After Daiyu caressed, she heard a burst of clapping outside the Qiansha window. Daiyu felt a little displeased in her heart. She gently wiped away the tears, stood up gracefully, turned around and saw that Baoyu Baochai and Sanchun sisters had lifted the Xianglian and entered the house!

Daiyu approached slowly, ordered Zijuan and Xueyan to make maple dew tea, and invited them to sit down. Looking at Daiyu's slightly red eyes, Baochai seemed unintentional: "My sister's piano music is really good. Excellent, I haven't heard my sister playing music on weekdays, but I heard it today, it really is a natural sound!"

Daiyu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "There is no natural sound, it's my sister's absurd praise, but the piano is born from the heart, borrowing from the songs of the predecessors, I can listen to it a little!"

Baoyu, however, looked at Daiyu affectionately, and said with a smile, "If my sister can only listen to the music a little, I don't know what the pieces I have heard on weekdays are all about!"

Looking at Baoyu's expression, Baochai's breath was slightly suffocated, and a little sourness appeared in his heart. Xue's family has not much foundation now, and only by climbing to Jia's mansion can they rely on the name of the royal family and make progress!

A trace of jealousy flashed across Shui Xing's eyes. This Lin Daiyu was born with a noble status, and now she is held in the palm of her hand by thousands of coquettish people. Her status is nothing more than the daughter of an imperial merchant. If she wants to cling to her, ordinary powerful people will I'm afraid they can't even count as concubines!

Although Yingchun and Tanchun are all concubines, but after all, she is still a princess. If the rich and powerful family is looking for relatives, I am afraid that the concubine is also looking for Yingchun and Tanchun. In any case, it is not the status of the daughter of the imperial merchant!

The nails in the sleeves fell secretly, and there was some resentment in his heart, resentment for the injustice of his status, although he always surpassed everyone, it was just a little balance to smooth the self-proclaimed Peony Allure!

Now Nan'an Prince's House is eager to choose a side concubine, but in the end the status of the imperial merchant is here, I am afraid that there will be no exceptions for Nan'an Concubine, and now she can only rely on Mrs. Wang's relatives to cling to Jia's House Such a big tree, these years of dealing with it up and down can't be wasted, absolutely can't let this Lin Daiyu be destroyed, no matter what branches grow out!

Thinking in her heart, she gradually felt relieved. Mrs. Wang is currently thinking about the matter of choosing a side concubine with the Nan'an Palace. If Lin Daiyu is selected as a side concubine by the Nan'an Palace, it must be very good, and there is one less thorn in Jia's house. , There is no obstacle to becoming Bao's second grandmother in the future!

Seeing Baochai's flickering expression, Daiyu glanced at her clear eyes, but smiled coldly in her heart. She had heard the thoughts of Baochai and Mrs. Wang, and gradually lost some of the intimacy in her heart. Now that I think about it carefully, Jin Ranqi in that day, now that I think about it carefully, it was just a joke about making wedding clothes for others!

Although the sentence is reasonable, it seems to be persuading myself not to change my temper. In fact, it is just through my own mouth to tell Baoyu that the latitude and longitude are rough, and the words used to persuade Baoyu are also words to please Mrs. Wang. Where did Jin Ranchi come from?

Looking at the expressions of everyone, Tanchun smiled and said, "Isn't it like what the second elder brother said? Some of the pieces I have heard in the past are not comparable to those played by Sister Lin. It's just that I have heard Sister Bao's playing, and I can't believe it." It is a rare song in the world, and the two sisters can be said to be evenly matched, and they are the voices of nature!"

Hearing the compliments in Tanchun's words, Yingchun's dull temper has nothing to say, Xichun frowned lightly, but also said nothing, Baochai's complexion improved slightly, with a faint smile on his face Yi, looked at Daiyu with some complacency in his eyes, but still said modestly in his mouth: "It's the third sister who praised me absurdly. !"

Daiyu looked at Baochai's insincere words with a light frown and a slight smile, and sure enough, Baochai was just a compliment, so she smiled lightly and said, "Well, let's each have our own minds, and it's just some boudoir fun, and we can't do it." Big table! My sister often talks about these boudoir fun things on weekdays. It's not what the boudoir girls do. Zhenjing is the first, followed by needlework, and the third is these boudoir fun. What did you do?" The meaning in the words is obvious, Daiyu has always been a smart person, how can she not hear the meaning of showing off in Baochai's words?

That Baochai suffocated slightly, Daiyu's usual eloquence was well understood, Baochai smiled a little embarrassedly, and had to say embarrassingly: "What my sister said is very true, but all these fun things are just ordinary days. It’s just what I did when I was bored!” After hearing this, Daiyu remained silent!

But Baoyu said disapprovingly at the side: "Who said that the things in the boudoir are just boring things? All the women in the boudoir are like elegant and refined daughters. The voice of a daughter is naturally not comparable to those of us. It's extremely good, besides, our family can still lose those things about needleworkers? Being in the Hou Men's deep courtyard, it's just to use these to cultivate interest!"

Listening to the meaning of maintenance in Baoyu's words, Baochai was suffocated, which was even more boring. Nowadays, Xue's family often does needlework until the third watch. How can there be such pleasures in the Houmen compound?

Tanchun laughed and said, "Sister Bao is just talking about some big principles, and girls in the boudoir should obey like this. Isn't the second brother's rebuttal like this too sharp? It's just stubborn talk between sisters!"

After hearing Tanchun's words, Daiyu sighed even more. Tanchun has been protecting Baochai more and more in the past two years, but it is just to please Mrs. Wang. With such joy and joy, I gradually let go of Baoyu's protective affection, and I have to learn to be self-reliant, and I can't always rely on other people's protection!

Then he smiled and said: "As the third sister said, it's just stubborn talk between sisters, and what the second brother Bao said is not without reason. Sister Bao has always been dignified and calm, so naturally she won't be as knowledgeable as us!"

Baoyu couldn't help but stumbled when he heard this, and hurried to Baochai's side to bow to him and said, "It turned out that my words were inappropriate for a while, don't blame me, sister!"

Baochai felt that there was glory on her face, so she said with a dignified smile: "Brother Bao has passed, there is no reason to blame, and what brother Bao said is very true!" After hearing this, Baoyu was very happy again. !

But Daiyu looked a little tired. When Baoyu saw her, she hurriedly said goodbye, and took Baochai and Sanchun sisters out!

Seeing their figures walking out, Xueyan sneered, "I don't know what you're doing here today? The girl finally thought about playing a piano, but they interrupted her!"

Daiyu looked at Xueyan's angry expression, then smiled lightly, her eyes were extremely cold, and said with a smile: "What's so annoying? It's just for fun, I'll play a song tomorrow That's it!" As she spoke, Dai frowned slightly, and said to herself: "Now I don't understand the third sister's mind even more, although she is flattering the second aunt in every possible way, but there is no need to lose her mind like this !"

Grandma Wang who was standing beside her smiled and said, "What don't you understand, Miss? Now these three girls are approaching the age of Ji, if they are not good at flattering the second wife, how can we find a good marriage in the future?" ?”

Daiyu was taken aback when she heard this, and then she smiled and said, "How did Mammy know such things?" Mammy Wang looked at Daiyu's beautiful face, and said lovingly: "How can we still pay attention to the ups and downs of so many years?" Is there anything you don't understand?" He said with a smile: "I'm just thinking about it now, and I heard that the Nan'an Palace is looking for a side concubine, and the second wife is not unusually affectionate recently, the girl should take it to heart!"

Daiyu frowned when she heard this, she was startled, she also understood Madam Wang's intentions, it seems that they really can't keep her in the mansion, it's okay, anyway, sooner or later they have to go out, it's better to go out earlier, In this way, I can find a reason for myself to go out. Although I am reluctant to protect my grandmother for so many years, it is time to give up!
