Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Cicadas are clamoring arrogantly on the branches, the branches and leaves are shrugging and pulling their heads, and the sultry weather is airtight, showing the majesty of summer everywhere.

Daiyu fanned the fan in her hand, and the bamboo grove in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion brought a little coolness. Xichun sat on the couch with a jade fork and iced watermelon in her hand, ate it in small bites, narrowed her eyes comfortably and said, "It's still Sister Lin is so comfortable here, she stayed in my Nuanxiangwu for a moment yesterday, and she was so hot that she had nowhere to go."

Xueyan put the ice bowl on the high table and said with a smile: "It will rain today, and it will be cooler then."

Daiyu raised her eyes with a smile, the ice bowl on the high table exuded bursts of coldness, she couldn't help stretching her sore arms, put down the embroidery frame in her hand, and said: "It's true, I don't want to go out even if I'm so bored in summer, Besides, my body can't bear it, it's better to stay here honestly."

"Girl, Miss Bao is here." Outside the door, Xiaohong was busy covering the sun with a bamboo curtain, when she saw Baochai entering the garden, she curled her lips in displeasure, and hurriedly told Daiyu inside.

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, but when she regained her composure, Baochai had already entered the door with a smile on her face. Seeing Xichun sitting in the room, she said with a smile, "So the fourth sister is here. I wonder why the maid in my sister's room is busy fixing the bamboo?" curtain."

Daiyu invited Baochai to sit down lightly, and said, "Why is Miss Bao here?" Hearing the indifference in Daiyu's words, Baochai's face remained unchanged, still with a very smile, said: "I've been ill for a long time, and the sisters are a little alienated. If I don't come out to see you sisters, won't everyone be alienated?"

Since returning from the Beijing Prince's Mansion, it has been very hot and cold, and Xue Baochai has been ill for more than a month, and has never shown up. Today, seeing that her complexion is still good, thinking about it, she is much better.

Baochai coughed softly holding the silk handkerchief, but she looked a bit weak, then she still smiled and winked, and Yinger hurriedly came out from behind Baochai, and came forward with the brocade box in her hand Daiyu smiled and said, "This is what our girl Tete wants to send to Miss Lin."

Seeing that Daiyu didn't answer and didn't take over, Baochai smiled lightly and opened the jade box with her own hands, but it was a string of green jade silk sash. Baochai laughed and said, "I was feeling better yesterday. I remembered that this bead string is from my aunt The gift was given by the eminent monk. I also thought that my sister was always weak, so I gave it to my sister, so that I can protect my sister's safety."

Daiyu quietly looked at the dignified smile on Baochai's face, and held up the tea bowl with a mocking look on her face. She saw that Xue Baochai was a little guilty, but she still held the bead string in her hand and went straight to Daiyu.

"Since the cloud is something given by my aunt, Miss Bao can keep it. What's more, Miss Bao is not yet recovered, and she is just taking advantage of a good birth to support her body. Wouldn't it be a disappointment to my aunt's kindness to transfer this thing?" ?”

Baochai's face was flushed by Daiyu's eloquent words, and the pun made her feel even more annoyed, and it took a long time before she smiled and said: "Since my sister doesn't like it, then it's fine, I just want to come here." My sister and Brother Bao are childhood sweethearts, and Brother Bao has something, but it doesn’t make sense that my sister doesn’t have it, isn’t it because of the old friendship?”

"Which of the sisters in this garden didn't grow up with Second Brother Bao? Isn't Miss Bao? The two courtyards of Yihonghengwu, Miss Bao also understands what it means. If it is something that Brother Bao has, Dai If you want to have jade, I'm afraid that Miss Bao will not be able to supply it, so let's get rid of it."

When Baochai heard this, her face turned red and then turned white, and she almost couldn't suppress the anger between her eyebrows. She suppressed her anger and looked around. On weekdays, you are the one who cares about your younger sister the most, why didn't you see me today?"

Daiyu paused for the teacup in her hand, looked at Baochai who was still unconscious, her eyes became colder and colder, and said: "Where is Second Brother Bao, doesn't Miss Bao know best?" In the middle of the night in Yihong Courtyard, Qingwen, the girl, complained to Zijuan for a long time, but today she used this as an argument, and it was really thanks to her that she said it.

Baochai had a shy smile on her face, but she still said: "My sister's words are a bit unreasonable. Thinking about my sister's first visit to Jia's mansion that day, isn't Brother Bao always accompanying my sister? How can you say that you are a childhood sweetheart?" Will it be broken?"

With a sound of "pa", Baochai's unfinished words remained in his throat in shock. He looked up at Daiyu's cold and angry expression, and stared at her closely with his clear and lingling water eyes for a moment, feeling a burst of pain in his heart. She was frightened, not expecting Daiyu, who was originally delicate and weak, to have such a frightening appearance.

"When Miss Bao came to my Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I always respected her as a guest, but Miss Bao pushed her every step of the way. I just want to ask, what exactly is Miss Bao trying to say? Just say it bluntly, don't beat around the bush and hide it like this." He said in a whisper. Besides, I am not Miss Bao's sister or sister. My surname is Lin, and the girl's surname is Xue. My Lin family has never had the slightest relationship with Xue's family. Don't try to bring relatives and friends, which will only cause unnecessary trouble. "

Baochai's face was extremely embarrassed after hearing Daiyu's words, and he felt more and more angry in his heart, and said coldly: "I was also concerned about my sister, thinking that my sister and Brother Bao are getting more and more estranged now, but I will take care of my sister in vain." Just a little worried."

Daiyu's face became colder and colder, and she pointed at the door and said angrily: "Miss Bao Bao is self-righteous and self-righteous. Daiyu can't bear it, and she doesn't want to hear those foul words. Let's invite Miss Bao to go out. Guests like you are not welcome in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Suddenly there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said sharply: "Don't look at me that I don't know what you think. Say it again, Miss Bao is just a passer-by who doesn't stick to me, Lin Daiyu, so don't talk about sisters and sisters."

Chunxian hurriedly stepped forward to support Daiyu who was panting quickly, looked at Xue Baochai coldly, and said, "Please invite Miss Xue to go out. After all, this is where our girls are. We can't help people like Miss Bao, and I'm afraid Break our life, go out quickly, and calm our eyes."

That Baochai was suddenly robbed by Chunxian, so she got up a little angrily, and Ying'er beside her was also unwilling to show weakness and said: "Our girl was also kind, but if you didn't want to, you would treat everything as trash. It's really too much .”

Xichun said coldly: "It's trash, so why are you afraid of being rejected by others?" Seeing that Ying'er seemed to be dissatisfied, Xichun immediately raised her brows and said coldly: "It is often said that you are also one of the four big families. Today I have seen it, and only you can teach such a maid."

Seeing this, Baochai hurriedly told Ying'er to shut up, saying, "The master is talking here, where do you have the right to talk, why don't you shut up quickly?" With one glance, he retreated behind Baochai resentfully.

Baochai saw that everyone in the room was looking at him condemningly, and then said: "I have said something wrong today, sister, please don't take offense, Miss Lin, I will definitely let Yinger come to the door to apologize in the future." Then he hurriedly took the Yinger out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Leaving on the front foot, Xiao Hong ordered someone to cut off a basin of clean water on the back foot, and followed their way to wash away the footprints, only to make Xue Baochai's angry face turn purple, and she gave Xiao Hong a hard look, then she was angry Ran flicked his sleeves and led Ying'er out.

Daiyu watched their master and servant leaving coldly, she smiled lightly, but she didn't take it seriously and sat back on the bed, thinking that Xue Baochai was talking about the benefits of Jia Baoyu now, she understood her thoughts , can climb higher branches, I am afraid that this precious jade is just a hot potato that can be discarded at any time.

In this world, no one can make decisions for herself, but she is the only one who can make decisions. If she still can't protect herself well, and blindly submits to softness and fears things, in the end, her reputation will be ruined, and even no good results will be achieved.

The water-soluble words of "live your own splendor" lingered in her heart, and she was convinced in her heart. Yes, life is only for yourself in this world, and living out that splendor is the real beauty of life. Unknowingly , the heart that has never been disturbed has already divided some attention on him.

"The sea and the bright moon are hard to be water, except that Daishan is not a cloud, Rong expresses his sincerity without falsehood, and waits for the beauty to stabilize his heart." These are the four words Shui Rong stuffed into Daiyu before leaving, which caused ripples in Daiyu's heart and disturbed her My daughter's heart gradually became sweeter.

When I came back to my senses, I heard Zijuan rambling angrily: "I don't know what this girl Bao means? The things I don't want are sent to the girl. Are we supposed to pick her up?" A discarded piece of trash?"

However, Xichun looked at Chunxian with admiration on her face, only turning Chunxian's face flushed, she hurriedly avoided Xichun's gaze, and said, "What are you looking at, Fourth Miss?"

Xichun laughed coquettishly: "Look at how majestic my sister is." Then she said: "People like them deserve retribution if they don't have good intentions."

Turning to look at Daiyu's smiling face, she said, "Sister, do you know the purpose of her visit today?" Daiyu was embroidering on the embroidery frame in her hand, and a hibiscus was almost finished, so she cut off the embroidery thread gently, and said: " It’s nothing more than wanting to stand on a higher branch, but forgetting that a phoenix is ​​born with a phoenix’s life, and it’s not possible to fly into the sky with wings and look down on everything.”
