Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

The autumn wind suddenly picked up, blowing down the branches and drifting maple leaves. The weather was drowsy and dull, which made people very bored.

Sitting in front of the piano case, a piece of "Youlan" was played, reflecting the autumn wind and blowing all over the sky, the listeners waited obsessively and couldn't get back to their senses.

"My sister is good at playing the piano." Tanchun's voice came from outside the door curtain, Daiyu smiled lightly, turned and left the piano case, and said with a light smile, "I got up so early in the morning, why are you here?"

Tanchun pursed his lips and smiled, walked in holding the hand of the servant, and said with a smile: "The autumn is refreshing, although staying in the Qiushuangzhai is a good place, after all, it is a bit difficult to control, and some things need to be discussed with my sister. "

Hearing what Tanchun said, Daiyu knew what she meant, so she looked at the servant girl in the room with a smile and said, "You all go down too, it's fine if there are snow geese serving in this room."

The women were a little hesitant when they heard this, but they were swept away by Dai Yu's sharp eyes, and immediately retreated to the door, but they did not stay away.

Tanchun watched the women retreat, hurriedly approached Daiyu, and said, "Sister, the women here are so unfamiliar, what's the reason? There is no such woman serving in the house on weekdays." reason."

Daiyu smiled faintly, the clear and clear water, faintly mixed with the benefits of the autumn wind, said: "It's just that, and they serve so well, thanks to the care of the above."

Tanchun heard it clearly, bit his lips, hesitated for a long while, and then approached Daiyu and said: "I will remember the kindness my sister treated my aunt and me and Huan'er in my heart. Please also be more careful, these mothers-in-law It's not that simple."

Daiyu smiled coldly, and said: "Third sister, needless to say, I understand." Tanchun was surprised to see Daiyu's clear face, and then heaved a sigh of relief, took Daiyu's hand and sighed softly: "Sister understands." That's good, I can't let go of my sister, now that my sister already knows, I should have made a plan earlier."

Seeing Daiyu nod her head, Tanchun got up gracefully, walked to the door, with a little tear on her cheek, said: "Sister, these years are enough, if not, it's okay to leave here." He opened the door curtain and walked out.

Daiyu stared blankly at Tanchun's leaving figure, but also understood her heart, so she sighed softly, and tears also fell down.

Xueyan looked at the back of Tanchun leaving in amazement, and said, "Girl, how did the third girl know?" Daiyu sighed softly and said, "My aunt is in the second wife's room."

Looking worriedly at Daiyu's appearance, Xueyan said worriedly: "Then the Zhen family will come to propose marriage in all likelihood, if the second wife has kept the old lady from her and agreed, what should I do?"

Zijuan, who came in from the side, interjected: "Everything is controlled by the old lady. After all, the second wife is just the old lady's daughter-in-law, and she has to obey the old lady's orders."

"What about the Concubine Yuan and Concubine Zhen up there?" Chunxian interjected coldly, making Zijuan stop immediately. Yes, there are Concubine Yuan and Concubine Zhen from the Zhen family. If the imperial concubine issued an edict together, wouldn't there be no room for change?

Daiyu smiled faintly, listening to the unconcealed worry in their words, she said softly: "You don't need to be entangled in this matter, I have my own way out, but this is not a place for us to stay for a long time, if you want to follow along If I go out, I'll go out, if I don't want to, just stay."

Zijuan was shocked when she heard this, and hurried forward to stop Daiyu and said, "Girl, old lady." Before Zijuan finished speaking, Daiyu smiled coldly and said, "Zijuan, you belong to the Jia family." If you want to have a child, you can stay, I won't stop you."

Zijuan's face was as pale as paper, and she trembled, but she didn't know how to speak. She had never seen such a heartless and indifferent expression on Daiyu's face.

Chunxian stepped forward to look at Zijuan and said: "If Miss Zijuan wants to tell the old lady, just go, we will not stop, but our relationship with each other will be broken."

When Zijuan heard this, she fell to the ground, a little at a loss. She didn't want to betray Daiyu, let alone betray Jiamu's intentions, not to mention that Baoyu was still there. Anyway, she was in a dilemma.Ignoring Zijuan who fell to the ground, Daiyu turned around, but tears rolled down her face.

Going to the dowry and looking at the familiar handwriting, Daiyu burst into tears. It was the letter written by Jia Min when she was dying, but now the yellowed paper could not conceal her motherly love for Daiyu.

The gift list on the back of the letterhead made Daiyu sad. Those were the treasures and playthings that Jia Min had honored Jiamu over the years, and there was even a long letter from Jia Min to Jiamu. stop.

"May my mother take pity on me, the unfilial daughter Min has not served her mother for many years, even though there are many things wrong, I beg my mother to take care of the young daughter on the basis of the blood relationship between the mother and daughter, so that the daughter can rest in peace under the nine springs, and bless the mother in good health... "

Daiyu choked with sobs and tears, she held the letter tightly in her arms, but it turned out that it was Jia Min who begged her to come to Jia's mansion, yet they were still displaying Jia's antiques and treasures everywhere, what an irony this is.

Her grandmother, perhaps she has been sincere in caring for her in the past few years, but she also has her own plans, for the sake of the Jia family and the Jia family.

Let her marry Baoyu, even if these treasures are revealed in the future, she will not be afraid, because she will marry and follow her husband's family, and all her property belongs to Baoyu, and the more she thinks about it, the more she will cry.

The 20 taels that I saved with her that day did not know what mother Jia had in mind. If it was for the Jia family, then her Lin family really let this dear Jia family plot to the end.

Mrs. Wang's actions are already so obvious, does Mother Jia really not know?Or do you feel that Concubine Yuan has already made her will, so she turned a blind eye?

Zijuan sat blankly outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, watching the sky getting late, but didn't make a sound, Chunxian grabbed Xueyan and Xiaohong who were about to come forward to comfort her, and said: "Let her think clearly, if not, come here It will still be the girl who suffers in the daytime." Xueyan Xiaohong let it go after hearing this, and just went back to the house to stay with Daiyu.

The sunset glow is rendered, as if a thin red gauze is covered on the green bamboo, which is hazy and unreal.

"Second Master Bao, wait for a while, wait for the maidservant to inform the girl." The sound of Xueyan's obstruction came from outside the door, and Daiyu hurriedly wiped away her tears. After driving away the snow goose, he ran into the house and said, "Sister Lin."

Seeing Baoyu rushing in, he became more and more angry and said, "Why is Second Master Bao in such a panic?"

Daiyu's more indifferent expression made Baoyu feel uneasy, and after a long while, he said with a hint of tears: "Sister Lin, you don't want it, don't." But the words that came to his mouth could not be uttered, he didn't want Sister Lin to marry , how good it would be to stay here.

Daiyu looked at it coldly, feeling a little soft in her heart, and said, "What don't you want?"

That Baoyu blushed, but the attacker behind him who was about to speak had already chased after him. When he saw Daiyu and Baoyu standing in the outer room, he was stunned and hurried forward and said, "Second Master Bao, what are you doing?" What are you doing? It's getting late, and Miss Lin is going to rest too."

Baoyu shook off Xi Ren's hand and said, "Sister Lin, are you okay here?" Xi Ren's face was even more flustered when his hand was thrown away behind him. , Now that the commotion is so troubled that I don't know how to end it, the more I think about it, the more anxious I become.

Daiyu glanced at Xiren's anxious expression, and said, "What is Second Brother Bao talking about? It's getting late, you should go back first."

That Baoyu was sweating profusely, and his face was as pale as paper, and suddenly he blurted out, "Sister Lin, please stay for me. We brothers and sisters will eat and live together. Sister Lin, don't marry."

Daiyu's complexion suddenly changed, she looked coldly at the Xiren whose face was instantly pale, and said sharply: "Second Master Bao, you have to be careful when you speak. I, Lin Daiyu, have always been innocent people. Your words like this Where did it come from? Just get out of here quickly."

The attacker's face was pale green, and seeing Daiyu's furious face, he became more and more at a loss as to what to do, so he hurriedly tried to pull Baoyu out, but Baoyu pushed him out and closed the door of the inner room.

Chunxian stood beside Daiyu, looking at Jia Baoyu vigilantly, and saw that Jia Baoyu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and said, "Sister Lin, would you like to stay for me?"

Daiyu's face was a little moved, how could she forget all these years of maintenance and concern?She closed her eyes lightly, opened them after a long while, and said softly: "So what if you keep it, so what if you don't? If the wife wants it, what should Second Brother Bao do?"

Hearing what his wife meant, Baoyu lost his arrogance immediately, and his eyes dodged so that he didn't dare to look into Daiyu's eyes. At this moment, Daiyu already understood Baoyu's heart. He just lives by relying on the ancestral shade of the Jia family, but outside of here, he is nothing.

Forget it, today's interrogation is just a little bit of love in the past, if it is like this, it will be broken if it is broken, and they will not even have the chance to be brothers and sisters in this life.

Waving her hand, Daiyu said in a slightly tired voice: "Second Master Bao, go out, this is not a place for you to stay for a long time. If someone who cares finds out, Daiyu really has an indisputable statement."

Hearing the urgent slap of the attacker outside, Baoyu walked out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with his head shrugged, and let the flustered attacker support him to the Yihong Courtyard.
