Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

The Qinglin River surged and receded, layers of waves slapped the hull of the ship, and thousands of snow waves and silver flowers were kicked up.

Gradually slanting to the west, the sunset glow suddenly rises, and the green and clear waves are covered with an untouchable brocade, which is dazzling.Gradually, the twilight surrounded it on all sides, and gradually became a dark wall, which was so dull that people couldn't breathe.

Plain white slender hands half-rolled bamboo curtains, a towering bun with white jade hairpins inserted obliquely, slender and soft neck, soft and white.Against the background of the sunset, it looks like a flying fairy in brocade, with a graceful and graceful appearance, almost in a state of being unbearably cold.

With watery eyes, she watched the shepherd boys and buffaloes returning home, the swallows flying and the birds returning to their nests.A look of desolation welled up in her eyes, Tired Bird still has a place to go home, where is her home?

Parents passed away, and in a blink of an eye, she was left alone in the world. She didn't know where to start with thousands of words. She understood the painstaking efforts of her parents and understood that there was no choice in such a life.

When she left her hometown for the first time, the feeling of longing gnawed at her young heart. It's not that she didn't complain.However, after complaining, he understood the painstaking efforts of his parents.

The obedience to her parents and the determination to share her father's worries made her happy even if she lived under the fence, even if her life was like walking on thin ice, because all of these were the paths her parents painstakingly arranged for herself.However, she couldn't escape after all, her father and mother passed away one after another, as well as her young and weak brother.

Tears dripped down, and her miserable face was full of timidity.After the death of her three-year-old brother, her parents sent her away, just to protect her well-being, just to let her grow up safely, even if they cruelly threw the weak girl into the deep courtyard of the grandfather, and sent her under the fence, there would be no complaints no regrets.

A whimper, the soft weeping sound moved people's hearts, facing the bamboo curtain, tears slid down the clothes, the pink face was red, the eyes were like peaches, the throat was blocked by breath, the face was full of tears, and suddenly he fell to the desk and sobbed, The slender shoulders trembled slightly, which made people feel even more regretful, wishing to share some sorrow for her.

The bamboo curtain of the cabin was lifted, and Zijuan came in with a tea tray. Seeing this scene, she felt great pain in her heart, but she didn't know how to comfort Daiyu. Weep beside Daiyu.

She understood that if Daiyu didn't cry out the pain in her heart, it would be extremely bad for her to keep it in her heart.

Back in Suzhou, Lin Ruhai passed away, and Daiyu cried like a teardrop, and she couldn't break the tears all day long. She was even seriously ill, and she just recovered a little bit. In the capital, it was reported that Yuanchun Jin made a virtuous concubine, Jiamu That is to say, Jia Lian was ordered to take Daiyu back to Beijing as soon as possible.

She didn't know what Daiyu was thinking, but she only knew that there had been no joy on Daiyu's face for a long time, and that sadness and sorrow lingered between her brows, which seemed to never dissipate.

After a long while, Daiyu stopped her tears when she heard Jia Lian outside the curtain saying, "Sister Lin, can you rest?"

Zijuan hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, stepped forward through the curtain, and said, "Miss just took a rest, what's the matter with Master Lian?"

When Jia Lian heard this, she just stood outside the curtain and said, "The boat will stop here for an hour today, and I will also go ashore to buy some things that are missing on board. I'll tell my sister, is there anything I need to buy?"

Daiyu cleared her throat, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Thank you, Second Brother Lian, Second Brother Lian will go on his own, Daiyu has nothing to take with her."

Hearing Daiyu's hoarse voice as if she had been crying, Jia Lian sighed and said, "The deceased has passed away, and sister Lin's mourning has changed." After thinking for a while, he said, "Back to Beijing, some sisters accompanied Lin The younger sister relieves boredom, and the old lady loves her very much, so my younger sister doesn't have to worry too much."

Daiyu listened to Jia Lian's words in astonishment, pondered for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Brother Lian, Daiyu is fine now."

Daiyu is very grateful to him for dealing with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, handling funeral affairs with care and carefulness, and organizing the funeral in an orderly manner.

Jia Lian nodded silently outside the curtain, and said: "My sister is going back from Suzhou. Although these earthen ritual objects were purchased in Suzhou, they are a bit thinner after all. I will go ashore today and bring some more with my sister. I am worthy of Uncle Lin's entrustment and dedication to my sister."

Daiyu sighed even more when she heard it, and soft words came from inside the curtain, "Since that's the case, thank you, Brother Lian, Daiyu thank you."

Slightly bent his knees, drew back his skirt and got up, saluted outside the bead curtain, then Jia Lian took Xing'er and a few servants along the docked boat, and went to the shore to buy.

Zijuan helped Daiyu to sit down on a nanmu chair covered with fox fur chairs, and just now she asked her doubts: "Girl, this second master is the most ridiculous person on weekdays, why is he acting like this today?" So attentive and thoughtful? It's really strange."

This Jia Liansu is always unrestrained, and never pays any attention to the female family members in the house. Today, it is a miracle that he can think carefully about the earthly rituals of Daiyu's return journey.

Youyou stared at the scene outside the curtain, sighed, and said: "It can be considered that he still has some conscience, and the things that Daddy entrusted to him are not in vain."

Zijuan didn't understand what Daiyu was talking about, but when she saw Daiyu looking outside the curtain and remained silent, she suppressed her doubts.

Hearing the ringing of the bead curtain, when he looked up, he saw snow geese coming in, holding a fox fur mattress in his hand, walking up to Daiyu, and said in a low voice: "In the next few days, I will get closer and closer to the capital, although it is early spring, In the end, the cold weather is coming, we should be more careful."

Daiyu nodded, looked back and smiled, her misty eyes were filled with sadness and indifference, and said: "Thank you two sisters."

Both Zijuan and Xueyan waved their hands in panic, and said: "Young lady's words, I don't dare to be a servant. I have sworn in front of the master that I will take good care of the girl."

Hearing Xueyan talking about Lin Ruhai, Daiyu's tears rolled down, and Xueyan rushed forward to wipe away the tears on her face in a frenzy, saying: "It's my slave who provoked the girl. If the girl is not happy, Just beat the slaves, girl, don't cry."

Daiyu barely stopped the tears, waved her hands, turned her head out of the window, and remained silent.After watching quietly for a while, his eyes were a little dry, and he said in a low voice: "I'm tired, so I lie down for a while. You guys should go and have a rest too."

As he spoke, he lay down on the soft couch with his clothes on, but his soft water eyes were not sleepy. Looking at the magnolia flowers carved on the cabin, he fell into deep thought.

Lin Ruhai asked Gu, he knew what kind of family the Jia family was, and he also knew what kind of person Jia Lian was. He never thought of taking back the things entrusted to them, but he just wanted Daiyu to stay in the mansion for a few days. Years, live a little more comfortably.

Thinking of what Lin Ruhai said the night before his death, tears rolled down her cheeks, and a tear stain fell on the pillow, soaking through the embroidered plum branches, bright red like fat.

"Yu'er, you lived in your grandfather's house. It was a last resort. Your parents were incompetent and couldn't protect you. All you want is for Yu'er to grow up in peace and live a life of ease and happiness...Yu'er , Baoyu, do you really think he is an excellent person? Or is he someone who understands you? Is he really a good person?"

"Is Baoyu really a good man?" 'This sentence has been lingering in her heart since Lin Ruhai asked, and it can't dissipate for a long time. She understands what Lin Ruhai means, and Lin Ruhai must also know the deep meaning behind Jiamu's letting her go to Beijing, so she just said this.

When he was young, he didn't understand these things about his sons and daughters, and Lin Ruhai never mentioned them. However, today his life has reached the end of his life, and the only thing he can't rest assured about is Daiyu's lifelong entrustment.

What Jiamu thought in her heart, she took Daiyu to live with Baoyu in order to make future arrangements.However, although his Yu'er lives in their house, he absolutely refuses to let them plot against Daiyu like this and become a victim of their struggles.

"Daddy believes that his precious daughter, the daughter brought up by our Lin family, must make a deliberate decision, so Daddy can rest assured.Since childhood, I have been able to support Yu'er like a boy. No matter what decision Yu'er makes in the future, my parents will definitely support Yu'er.It's just that a dude will never be worthy of his parents' Yu'er'

Lin Ruhai's words resounded in her mind, making Daiyu tremble all over, like a blow to the head that woke her obsessed mind, yes, dudes will never be chosen by the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai knew a little bit about Baoyu's personality. The so-called "knowing the old from childhood", her temperament was destined to not change.

Rao is that person who understands his own thoughts and is very obedient to him, but, but, sigh, since he will live there for a few years, we will talk about things in the future.

Silently closing her eyes, she secretly swore in her heart that the dude would never have anything to do with the Lin family. She could not shame the ancestors of the Lin family, let alone worry her parents.

Tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, a heavy weight weighed down in his heart, he let out a sigh, and wanted to close his eyes.

Lying on the couch, leaning sideways on the things in the purse at the waist, it was hard and painful, slightly turned the body, took out the thing, when he looked carefully, it was a hard-to-find green jade, engraved with the dragon Xiangyun's adornment is exquisite and exquisite, with the totem on it, it is a kind of royal nobility rushing towards the face, and the back of the jade pendant is engraved with a pendant seal character 'Rong'.

She didn't understand what this jade pendant represented, and she didn't know who gave it to her. She only knew that it was a royal property. She didn't want to keep it at first, but she suddenly remembered Lin Ruhai's dying words, telling herself to take good care of this jade pendant. It will be useful in the daytime.

When Lin Ruhai talked about this jade pendant, his expression was extremely serious, with faint satisfaction and anxiety mixed in. Daiyu couldn't understand Lin Ruhai's cryptic words, let alone who owned this jade pendant?Why did Lin Ruhai let herself be with her so solemnly?

I don't understand, after all I don't understand, I looked down at the jade pendant for a long while, and sighed lightly, no matter, such a jade pendant won't take up too much space, since it's something my father ordered, it's easy to put it away yes.So he still put it in his purse, and gradually fell into a deep sleep amidst restless thoughts.
