Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Maotao slowly grows into a sour fruit, and the last bit of red is lost in the spring breeze.

The leaves have lost their immature color, they are gloomy and verdant, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant. A thunderstorm rushes into the lives of everyone along with the scorching summer, and it is impossible to guard against.

The summer is lush, except for the necessary going out, Daiyu usually stays in Ziqing Pavilion, or reads some books, or plays the piano for fun to calm down her slightly irritable mood.

After a thunderstorm, Daiyu smiled.The green bamboos in the Ziqing Pavilion are dripping and falling, and the gentle breeze is blowing, bringing a fresh and clear atmosphere after the rain.Zijuan ordered a few little maids to open the closed carved windows of Ziqing Pavilion, and rolled up the Xiang curtain at the door by herself, letting a cool breath blow into the room.

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the imperial concubine chair, stretched slowly, like a lazy and noble Persian cat, brushing her hair with her bare hands, her black hair cascading down like a beautiful cat. Satin, silky and smooth!

Taking a sip of the iced plum soup, the sour Daiyu stuck out her tongue, took warm water to dilute the taste in her mouth, and then said with a smile: "This timely rain is good, it blows away the annoying heat."

Zijuan smiled at the corner of her mouth, and sat beside Daiyu, playing a cattail fan, and said with a smile: "That's not true, this day, I guess the rain fell just now because I saw the girl was too hot to bear."

Daiyu glanced at her, and said, "It's just that you're talking nonsense. How can there be such a thing?"

Xueyan was busy changing the water for the lotus in the house, when she heard Zijuan's words, she looked back and clapped her hands with a smile: "It's exactly what sister Zijuan said, our girl is a celestial being, so naturally she won't be wronged. "

Seeing that their words became less and less like each other, Daiyu shook her head, but she didn't argue with them, she just got up and embroidered with the unfinished purse in the sewing basket.

I had just embroidered two stitches, when I heard the little girl outside shouting: "Miss Bao is here."

Daiyu frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy, she didn't stop the embroidery needle in her hand, the embroidery thread flew back and forth, as if she didn't hear the news from outside.

Xueyan pursed her lips and muttered: "Second girl and the others came here in the past, and they have never seen her so diligent." Just after finishing speaking, the little girl drew up the bead curtain outside the door, and Baochai stepped in. .

Walking into the Ziqing Pavilion, Baochai took a breath of refreshing breath. Baochai was already very plump, but when he came, it was a bit strenuous because of the water on the road, so he walked a few steps. , I felt a little uneven breathing, breathing in the fresh air, and my panting breathing gradually calmed down.

Looking at Daiyu with a calm smile, but seeing Daiyu calmly embroidering her purse, she couldn't help being suffocated, stepped forward and laughed, "What is my sister busy with?"

Daiyu ordered the little girl beside her to pour tea, holding the purse embroidery thread she was doing in her hand, and said calmly: "I stay here on weekdays, what else can I do? It's nothing more than these things."

Baochai took a closer look at the purse made by Daiyu. The delicate stitches and the lively hibiscus flowers seemed to be swaying in the wind, and the color was blue and white, which coincided with Daiyu's mourning period.

"My sister is good at needlework. This kind of embroidery is so exquisite that I have never seen it. Rao, the embroiderers outside can't compare with my sister." The voice of admiration overflowed, no wonder that Baoyu always wanted to get some needlework from Daiyu. , it is really an extremely rare thing, and I can't help but have some thoughts in my heart. I slowly sipped the tea but raised my eyes to look at Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't raise her eyebrows, she just said calmly: "Those embroiderers do it for their livelihood, I just embroider a few stitches when I have nothing to do."

After a pause, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said again: "No one in the entire mansion knows that Miss Bao's needlework is the best. And who doesn't know that my master and the girl in Ziqingxuan are all The master who doesn’t move the horizontal needle and doesn’t stick to the vertical needle? You can’t say what Miss Bao said, and people will laugh at me for being pompous and arrogant.”

Baochai's face changed slightly, for a moment she was angry, as if she was flipping through a book, and soon she was normal again, why couldn't she hear the irony in Daiyu's words?But he still suppressed the anger that was about to explode in his heart, and his face was calm as usual!

Daiyu paused at the embroidery in her hands, and for a moment, she couldn't help but curl her lips. She put down the embroidery in her hands, washed her hands, and then smiled again: "It's raining heavily today, so it's hard for Miss Bao to still miss me. Let Daiyu be very grateful."

Baochai smiled calmly and said, "Why are we sisters so polite?"

Picking up the teacup, Daiyu licked her rosy lips, smiled faintly, but said nothing.

Baochai looked at Daiyu tentatively, and said, "I was too busy a while ago to see my sister. I have a doubt in my heart, I don't know whether I should ask."

Daiyu smiled lightly and said: "Miss Bao thought about what she shouldn't say, and if she didn't say it, it would save everyone embarrassment!"

That Baochai looked at Daiyu, still smiled and said: "But such doubts have been pressed in my heart, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Why don't you say it and let my sister explain it to me."

Daiyu smiled coldly, looking at Baochai with her clear eyes, and Baochai's heart felt weak, before she smiled and said, "Miss Bao, what doubts do Daiyu need to answer? What I have seen and learned is broader than that of Daiyu, if Miss Bao asked Daiyu, wouldn't it be too ridiculous?"

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Baochai was stunned for a moment, his face turned green and pale, secretly annoyed, and said with a smile: "My sister is really eloquent, let my sister not know what to say. "But he wisely stopped asking and changed the subject, so as not to embarrass himself later.

Staying in Daiyu's room for a while, I didn't know what to talk about, so I asked something to be done, and took Ying'er's hand out of the Ziqing Pavilion.

Seeing their master and servant walking away, Zijuan immediately took Baochai's used teacup in her hand angrily, and walked out, saying, "I'll go and clean this teacup and give it to the gatekeeper." Son is."

Daiyu smiled, and Xueyan laughed even harder. It took a long while to see Zijuan coming in with the water drops on her hands.

Zijuan was still resentful, and said: "I don't know what kind of style this Miss Bao has come here? The decent girls in our mansion haven't come to ask the girl yet, so I don't know what she is thinking about."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the reason for Xue Baochai's visit. Seeing that the Beijing Palace paid more attention to Daiyu, she actually wanted to come over to ask her, and she really thought she was who she was.

"It's hard for them too. It took me so long to ask." After holding it for so long, I still can't get the answer I want, I'm afraid they won't be reconciled.

The purpose of Baochai's visit today is not only Madam Wang's order to inquire about some news, but also her own selfishness. If she wants to make it to the top, the Jia family is just a stepping stone.

Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help but a cold smile appeared on her lips, if Miss Xue could have a better source, this Baoyu from the Jia Mansion would be considered dispensable, wouldn't it?

At a young age, it is not too much to plan for the family, and it is not something she can decide to be born into such a family.She will applaud her for gaining the glory of a lifetime with her true abilities.

If it is a villain who steps on other people's bones and uses despicable methods, she will disdain her, and even more contemptuous of what she has done.

"It's not about me and I don't open my mouth, I just shake my head and I don't know." But I don't know, if it's about me and wants to win a higher position, what kind of actions will this honest and gentle girl Bao have?With a low smile, there is some expectation in my heart.

That Baochai walked out of Ziqing Pavilion, paused for a moment to ponder, then turned and went to Mrs. Wang's room.
