Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Inside and outside Jia's mansion, the affairs of Concubine Yuan's birthing villa were busy, and she had no time to take care of the sisters in the mansion, Baoyu and others. The chance of meeting them is also very slim.

When Baoyu saw this scene, he became more and more like a horse without a bridle. Without the restraint of Jia Zheng, he gradually abandoned his studies. right.

Waking up early in the morning, the branches outside the window were already creaking. Daiyu lifted up the light green gauze curtain with her slender hands, rubbed her misty eyes, yawned delicately and sat up.

Just when she was about to get out of bed, she heard the door squeak and was pushed open, and Zijuan walked in lightly with the little girl, holding the washing things in her hands.

Seeing that Daiyu had gotten up, Zijuan smiled lightly and said, "Girl got up so early? Why don't you sleep more?" Looking at Daiyu's faint blue and red eyes, Zijuan felt a little distressed.

Yesterday was Qingming, Daiyu could only set up an incense table in the house, and put some fresh fruits to pay respects to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min from afar. It was time to fall asleep gradually, but today I got up early in the morning.

Daiyu shook her head and sighed: "It's too late to get up today, although the old lady doesn't need us to settle down in the morning and evening, we must not be too lazy, on the contrary, the bones are soft." He went outside to wash his face and comb his hair.

Just after combing her bun, she heard a noise outside the hall, Daiyu looked at Zijuan in surprise, "It's so early in the morning, what's going on outside?" Not to mention that Ziqingxuan has its own rules , under the restraint of Wang Momo, mothers-in-law and maids never dare to make loud noises or make irresponsible remarks.Even the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law served by the Sanchun sisters would not be so ignorant of the rules.

Zijuan looked out of the window, put down the ivory comb in her hand, and said: "I don't know which courtyard woman is so unruly. Wait a moment, girl, and I will know the reason when I go out and have a look." Go out the door.

Just now I lifted the curtain and went out, and saw Xueyan walking in with an extremely unhappy face, Zijuan couldn't help smiling when she saw her angry look, and said: "In the early morning, who is angry with our Xueyan girl?" ?”

Xueyan raised her mouth even more when she heard this, glared at Zijuan, pouted her mouth out angrily, and said with a sneer: "What else can I do? It's just that I can't understand the faces of those women, and they are all flattering and flattering." , the only difference is that they didn’t lie down on the ground and lick the path they walked. This kind of flamboyance doesn’t know the rules, and she’s still the companion in the wife’s room.

Zijuan listened to Xueyan's unrestrained words, looked around in panic, and reprimanded: "Xueyan, you hoof, what are you doing? Don't you know what kind of people are in our yard?"

Xueyan was startled inwardly, stuck out her tongue, but also kept silent.Zijuan breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at Deng, but she was still puzzled. She waited carefully and wanted to ask more questions. The bead curtain behind her rang, and when she turned around, she saw Daiyu standing by the door, graceful and graceful like a girl. The beautiful flowers shine on the water, and the weak willows support the wind.

Holding Chunxian's hand, she walked to their side, listened to the noise outside the courtyard, and said with a soft smile, "But Miss Xue moved here?"

Xueyan's astonished expression confirmed Daiyu's conjecture, and she nodded.That's right, it was Xue Baochai who moved here, and it was delivered by Mrs. Wang's Zhou Rui's family.

"Miss, you already know?" That early in the morning, Zhou Rui's family directed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to move Baochai's few luggage to a courtyard a little farther away from Daiyu, which was the place where Baoyu lived when she was a child.

Such an arrangement alone already made people feel angry, not to mention that when Zhou Rui's family saw Xueyan holding the vase, they wanted to order her and Baochai to tidy up their things, how can we not make her angry?

Such arrogance, commanding everyone like this, relying on himself as Mrs. Wang's companion, was actually a quarrel early in the morning, without even taking into account that the masters and girls in the mansion were resting.

Daiyu didn't answer Xueyan's words, she shook her head, and walked slowly back into the house, only ordering the little maid beside her to close the courtyard door, watching Daiyu walk back into the house, Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other, Baochai just now No one knew about the move here, how did Daiyu know about it?

Standing in the courtyard for a long while, Zijuan and Xueyan lifted the curtain and went in, seeing Daiyu eating at the table without any disturbance, seeing that there was no one else in the room, they said urgently: "Miss, how do you know? "

Seeing their curious and astonished expressions, Daiyu slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, and said, "You really don't know?" Zijuan and Xueyan both shook their heads blankly.

But Xueyan murmured and said: "I really don't know what the Xue family is thinking. We used to live with the old lady. Their Xue family has their own family business here, but they are here to live and die. Now the lady Father-in-law, if you want to borrow the Pear Fragrance Courtyard, they would rather move to a smaller courtyard than leave."

Daiyu raised her delicate face, smiled mockingly, and thought about it uninterruptedly every day, perhaps this is what she wanted.There is an invisible mystery hidden between the brows, with infinite melancholy, the erratic eyes look out the window, the branches and flowers are dancing, "what don't you understand? You say they Can you rest assured that we live here now?"

Yes, Mrs. Wang won't be relieved. In that case, why not take this opportunity to let Baochai move in with her?Jia's mother had issued an order to evict guests by borrowing the Pear Fragrance Courtyard, but they pretended not to know, preferring to live in a smaller courtyard. Speaking of the courtyard, she now understood the purpose of Mrs. Wang's arrangement.

Now the Xue family is still living in Jia's house, Mrs. Wang has a small courtyard, and the Xue family's courtyard is moved out for the provincial relatives. The girl from the Xue family lives with the girl from the Jia family. It's not easy to refuse for the sake of it.

Everyone will understand the principle of "a building close to the water first gets the moon", and Mrs. Wang naturally has thousands of reasons to be worried.

Xueyan was stunned, but immediately understood the meaning of Daiyu's words, and couldn't help saying bitterly: "Our girl is so smart and noble, we still look down on their precious phoenix eggs, who would want Whoever is going to forget it, why is Baba so guarded against everything?"

After hearing Xueyan's words, Zijuan immediately stopped Xueyan, and said: "Xueyan, you must be careful when you speak." As she spoke, she looked at Daiyu and said cautiously: "Girl, maybe, maybe, Second Master Bao has something wrong in his heart. If you think this way, the second master Bao will only think of the girl in his heart since he was a child."

Daiyu looked up at Zijuan with slightly mournful eyes, and said indifferently: "Zijuan, the relationship between me and Second Brother Bao is just a brother-sister relationship. In the future, such words are definitely not allowed to come out again. If Second Brother Bao comes again in the future , Let him go back directly, since we are old, we should also guard against men and women, so as to avoid gossip."

The elegant and elegant face is like an orchid in an empty valley, with a hint of indifference in the tranquility and elegance, the watery eyes are sparkling, with teardrops but they are extremely strong.

Zijuan was stunned when she heard this, not wanting Daiyu to be so resolute now. Although Baoyu was not allowed to enter Daiyu's house on weekdays, she never said that Baoyu was not allowed to enter, nana said: "But, but, girl. "

Daiyu raised her hand to stop Zijuan's words, and her tone was a little sharp, "Do as I say." The indifferent tone made Zijuan extremely strange, and she was so stunned that she nodded involuntarily in agreement. Some timid.

She silently waited for Daiyu to rinse her mouth and face, silently carrying the food that Daiyu had never touched a few chopsticks, still thinking about Daiyu's change, pondering inwardly, and after thinking about it, she had already made a decision. He handed the tray in his hand to the little maid, and turned around to go to Jia Mu's main room.

Seeing Daiyu sitting silently under the screen, Xueyan stepped forward and said, "Miss." Daiyu shook her head silently, got up and went to the inner room, "I'll rest for a while, don't let anyone come in and disturb me .”

Before Xueyan could say anything, Daiyu had already stepped into the room, leaning against the carved window, sobbing and tearing, sobbing and lowering her voice.

'The peacock flies southeast, wandering five miles and one. 'Even if there is a deep friendship, it's just a division of labor and swallows, or it's all about death.

He didn't wipe off the tears on his face, let the teardrops crawl all over his cheeks, and cried wantonly once, completely breaking the relationship of these years, crying for Baoyu for the last time, after crying, they will just be bloodless in the future' Brother and sister' nothing more.

After a long time, until she was dizzy from crying, Daiyu just stopped crying, took out the brocade handkerchief on her waistband to wipe away her tears, and when she turned around to look, she saw Xueyan standing by the door full of worry.

Daiyu forced a smile, but she didn't speak. She just took Xueyan and handed over a warm towel to wipe her delicate face, calming down her sobbing and choking slightly, then she opened her dowry and redressed her face. A thin layer of rouge covered the traces of crying.

Just after they were settled properly, they heard another noise. Xueyan listened carefully and said, "Miss, it seems to be the voice of the fourth young lady entering the painting."
