Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Daiyu coughed lightly and broke the silence of the room. Xiao Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, had lost all her usual delicacy and innocence on her face at this time, and her lowered and flickering eyes were full of wolfish ambition, which was not her usual at all. The Xiao Wu whom Rili knew.

That Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Qing who was also kneeling beside her with somewhat hateful eyes, but she still refused to admit her fault, let alone the fact that she poisoned Dai Yu.

If it wasn't for the water-soluble people who tied up Xiaoqing and wandered the streets, how could she have come out?It's just thinking about a little affection in the past, but she doesn't want to, this is exactly what Shui Rong wants. As soon as she appeared, Xiaoqing recognized her and took her here.

Shui Rong lightly patted Daiyu's back that was trembling due to coughing, and stared at Xiao Wu with increasingly indifferent eyes.

Daiyu coughed lightly for a while, only felt that her throat seemed to be a little more relaxed, but she didn't feel her body was weak, she leaned on the pillow placed behind her, looked into Xiao Wu's eyes, hoping that there would be a little bit of repentance, However, she found that she never knew Xiao Wu very well.

"Xiao Wu, you and Sister Xiaoqing have been in the mansion for seven or eight years. Back then, Uncle Lin brought you back to the mansion from the refugees. Why did you use such a dirty trick? Although I have never lived here, I have never done anything with you, why are you doing all this?"

After hearing this, Xiao Wu raised her head more and more pitifully, and crawled to Daiyu, weeping: "Girl, you should check clearly, the servants have never done such dirty things, let alone dare to harm the girl. "

Daiyu looked at Xiao Wu quietly, feeling some pain in her heart, and sighed softly: "Xiao Wu, do you think we would bring you here if we don't have evidence?" There was a slight tremor suddenly, causing Daiyu's mind to sink even further into the bottom of the valley.

"If you were really wronged, why did you take advantage of the chaos to steal the money from the mansion and never return?"

That Xiao Wu looked up at Shui Rong suddenly. She didn't understand what kind of identity Shui Rong was, and she had never seen Shui Rong before, but the aura of that body made her feel involuntarily inferior. Now that she heard this, she felt even more The whole body was soaked in cold, and drops of cold sweat rolled down from his forehead.

"Please also ask this young master to check clearly, the servants really did not do such a thing." She had already burned all those things, and presumably they did not have any evidence in their hands.

With a "pop", Shui Rong threw the sachet that had been on the high table in front of Xiao Wu, and said calmly, "Do you know this thing?"

When Xiao Wu lowered her head to take a closer look, her face turned ashen-colored with shock, obviously she had burned all these things, how could they still be in Shui Rong's hands?

Shui Rong held the paper in his hand, clamped it between his two fingers, and wrote neatly on the paper as thin as cicada's wings: The thing has been done, we will live up to what we entrusted, please rest assured, dance.Shui Rong sneered and said: "I don't think a lowly maid like you can know how to use words."

"It's my thing, give it back to me." Xiao Wu stood up suddenly, and wanted to snatch the paper, Shui Rong got up and kicked Xiao Wu to the door of the flower hall, unable to get up for a long time.

Shui Rong brushed off Xiao Wu's robe, looked at Xiao Wu in disgust, then turned to look at Daiyu, and said, "Dai'er, go and rest first, leave this place to me to deal with." Daiyu shook her head, but her slightly sad eyes kept looking at Xiao Wu, as if she wanted to see everything behind her through her.

Xiao Wu spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, raised her head and shouted: "You have no right to treat me like this, you are not the government, you have no evidence, you can't treat me like this."

Shui Rong looked at Xiao Wu with deeper and deeper eyes, and a treacherous smile rose from the corner of his mouth. He still knew these things, so he chuckled at Daiyu, then smiled and said, "Then we have to try it." Can you be tortured, you just go to the government, and see if the people in the government will suffer from you."

Lin Fu also looked at Lin Xiaowu full of resentment at this time, stepped forward and said bitterly: "I was really blind back then, saving you from the refugees made you the cause of harm to girls , if you go back to the past, even if you were killed by others, I will definitely not let you enter this mansion."

Back then, seeing that their sisters had difficulty gaining a foothold among those refugees, and those people often bullied them, they were considered smart when they saw that they were well-behaved, and after investigation, they were also from poor backgrounds, with no parents or brothers at home, so they were taken in with confidence. , Trained out, so that Daiyu can have a servant girl by her side when she leaves Jia's mansion.

Who would have thought that this Lin Xiaowu is a smart person, cute and cute for seven or eight years, but he didn't expect to be such a ruthless character, so he hated that Xiaowu more and more.

Thinking so, he knelt down in front of Shui Rong and Daiyu, and cried: "Please punish me, the slave is not good at doing things, and the girl who was killed just now has gone to such a degree that I have disregarded the entrustment of the master and wife. How can I let the old slave have a standing land?"

Crouching on the door of the hut, unable to move, her body trembling slightly, thinking about the days when their sisters were not as good as pigs and dogs, the more so, the more she will live a life of superiority, even if she pays the price, so what ?

Daiyu held the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, but the sound of coughing never stopped. Seeing Xiao Wu's still unrepentant appearance, the smiling Yuyan turned to look at Lin Fu, letting Shui Rong be helped by Xiaoluzi beside her. He got up and said: "Uncle Lin, don't be like this soon, you take care of this small building in the south of the Yangtze River for Daiyu and Dad, guarding the last bit of our Lin family's foundation, Daiyu is grateful, how can there be other things?" Blame it? What's more, we don't know anyone on weekdays, we know people's faces but don't know their hearts, and we don't have the ability to read people's hearts."

After a series of words, Daiyu's face was red from coughing, and Shui Rong looked very distressed, and took the Lingxue Dan and Daiyu who were on the side, and then held Daiyu's small hand, and said softly: "Dai'er, please Go back and rest, this kind of low-spirited person, come back when you are in good health, even if she doesn't admit it, I can still involve the person behind her, don't worry."

When Xiao Wu heard Shui Rong's words, she trembled immediately, but her face remained expressionless for a moment. Xiao Qing crawled to Xiao Wu and cried, "Sister, you just said something, after so many years Come on, you are also grateful to Steward Lin, and you have done your best to the girl these days, why would you do such a thing?"

That Xiao Wu glanced at Xiao Qing coldly, but the luster for money and power flashed in her eyes, and she snorted softly, "What do you know, because you don't know, so you can always only It's just a little girl."

After hearing this, Daiyu unconsciously looked at Chunxian and Xueyan at the side, Chunxian Xueyan was also extremely surprised, she couldn't believe that these words came from Xiao Wu, who is the most simple and honest in daily life.

Shui Rong smiled coldly, and said lightly: "Do you think you are a smart person? Xiaoqing doesn't understand, so she is a safe and stable maid, but you don't understand, as a lowly person, but her heart is higher than the sky, doomed to you Life is thinner than paper." As he spoke, he raised his voice and said, "Come here, pull this lowly servant girl down, I don't want to see her again, it's really a disaster for such a person to stay in this world."

Seeing this, Daiyu felt her mind cool down, but it turned out that her affection for Xiao Wu ended up causing Xiao Wu to be beaten to pieces, so she sighed lightly, helped Shui Rong's hand to stand up, and calmed down. Authentic: "Brother Rong, let's go, such a person, if we spend more time talking with her, it will be a waste of our time. It is this kind of person who is stubborn."

Moving forward lightly with lotus steps, when passing Xiao Wu, Daiyu sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "If you are such a person, I wouldn't say anything at first, you know, when we found you, almost At one point, you will fall into the abyss, into the wilderness with no one."

After saying that, she ignored Xiao Wu, and walked out of the small courtyard with Shui Rong's hand. Looking at the heavy snow, Daiyu's heart was like a cold ice knife piercing into her heart. The cold pain made her almost Want to feel suffocated.

But it turned out that they really hated her so much that they didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to take her life. Even Jia Min back then couldn't escape their clutches. It was dark before his eyes, and he tilted to the side unconsciously.

Shui Rong hurriedly grabbed Daiyu's falling body with her big hands, hugged her in her arms, wrapped her cloak tightly around Daiyu, turned around and said sharply: "Pick out the tendons and tendons of that lowly servant girl, and cut her off." tongue, threw her on the bustling section of Ningrong Street, and even more carefully protected her honor, this king wants to see what kind of black-hearted people they are."

Chunxian agreed to go, and let the rough envoy outside the door drag Xiao Wu to the door, but when she looked at Xiaoqing alone, she finally had some pity, so she sighed and said: "Xiaoqing, if you are a sensible person, pack up your things and go back to your original home."

Xiaoqing was sobbing and crying unstoppably, but she also knew that this situation was irreversible, so she got up and nodded, and packed up and wrapped up this small Jiangnan building in three steps and fives, bringing the laughter and laughter of the weekdays to life. All go away with the lonely figure who left.

"Miss." Xueyan came in from the outside, with a somewhat hesitant look on her face, wondering if she should tell Daiyu or not.

Daiyu quietly held the embroidered purse in her hand, coughed lightly, looked at Xueyan's hesitation, and smiled, "What's the matter?" Since Daiyu passed out last time, Shui Rong let Chunxian and Xueyan Haosheng looked at Daiyu and forbade her to go out for half a step. Now Daiyu's body and bones are much better than before, but because of continuous snowstorms, she can't come here often. Daiyu only embroiders purses and spring snow geese every day. How many people live.

Xueyan was still hesitating and didn't know whether to say it, after all, the members of the Jia family should have died completely, but the Sanchun sisters had been standing by Fengxue for nearly half an hour, no matter what Daiyu did. It is time for Daiyu to know her decision.

Daiyu listened to Xueyan's reply in a daze, unconsciously a trace of sadness crossed her heart, and said: "Xueyan went to invite the three girls to come in, no matter what, we are sisters, let them wait In the wind and snow, not to mention other things, but the fourth sister's body can't bear it."

Xueyan nodded after hearing this, and at this time did not stop Daiyu anymore, but went to the door to pick up the Sanchun sisters in person, Daiyu got up silently, went to the diorama to straighten her clothes, and let Chunxian Fix the heart-shaped bun, take out a long tassel hairpin and insert it obliquely on top of the bun, which also adds a bit of charm to the pale face.

"Girl, Miss Sanchun is here." Xueyan opened the warm curtain and invited the Sanchun sisters to go in. Seeing Daiyu who was thinner than before, Xichun couldn't believe her eyes, she didn't care to take off the cloak on her body, and went up He took Daiyu's hand before him, tears fell from his eyes, looked Daiyu up and down, sobbed and said, "Sister, what's wrong? She's getting thinner."

Daiyu coughed lightly, tears could not be concealed in her eyes, she took off Xichun's cloak and snow cap, and said with a light smile, "Where is there anything? It's just that I was ill a while ago, you wind and snow How did the sky come?"

Yingchun Tanchun handed over the cloak and snow hat to the hand of the maid beside her, looked at Daiyu's indifferent face, and sighed softly: "We heard what the doctor Wang said, saying that my sister was ill, and the old lady was worried. Let us see my sister."

Daiyu smiled faintly, invited them to sit down, and said: "It's hard for you to worry about it, I'm already fine, the third sister just wants to let the people in the house rest assured."

Yingchun looks at Daiyu's cold eyes, but she also understands the whole story. It would be like this for anyone, let alone such a proud and upright woman like Daiyu, who is three-pointed and seven-pointed in her bones So proud, how can you tolerate such schemes by Jia Mu?

Tanchun's face changed, but he stepped forward and took Daiyu's arm, looked at her thin face, and said in tears: "Sister's body is not good, so she should take care of herself. Sister should not go back , People like that are nothing more than that, they are all like black-eyed chickens, wishing you could eat me, and if I eat you, it will delay your health and well-being.”

Daiyu looked at Tanchun's more and more indifferent eyes in surprise, it seemed to be very different from that time, when Tanchun was in high spirits, Min Tanchun was not mistaken, even the two wives of King Xing in the mansion couldn't see through However, she can guess a thing or two about it. How could such a smart and intelligent Tanchun say such frustrating words?

Seeing Daiyu was a bit surprised, Tanchun smiled bitterly, looked at Daiyu with slightly sad eyes, filled with disappointment for that family, and the wrist holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably, saying : "If I were a man, I would have left there a long time ago, and I can create something of my own when I go out. Curling up at home like this is still an inescapable shackle after all."

Daiyu stared at the unhappiness on Tanchun's face with fixed eyebrows, and looked at Xichun inquiringly, but Xichun just smiled back at Daiyu, without saying anything, only Yingchun looked at Tanchun's weeping face, and sighed softly .

"Sister-in-law doesn't know, the second sister-in-law was a little unhappy a while ago, but she let the third sister take charge of the family." Yingchun paused, and there was a hint of sarcasm on her usually calm face.

Daiyu looked at Yingchun and Tanchun in surprise. Originally, Tanchun was very talented and full of ambition. If she were to be the housekeeper, she would be able to get rid of the old disadvantages and add some benefits. This is Tanchun's Strengths, "This is what the third sister is best at. Who doesn't know about us sisters? Isn't this a good thing?"

Yingchun looked at Tanchun, and said again: "Do you think Madam can safely hand over the huge garden to Sister Tanchun?"

Could it be?Daiyu frowned and pondered, thinking how could a concubine girl be in charge of the family business according to Mrs. Wang's behavior?It must be Jia Mu's intention, but Xue Baochai must have participated in it, so she said softly, "Is the girl from Xue's family also involved?"

At this time, Xichun nodded, with a mocking smile on his cold face, and said: "It's nice to say, let the third sister take care of the family business, but let the person surnamed Xue sit in the main courtyard. Let her take a look at everything except the invitations outside, and she has really become the grandma of our family."

Let Xue Baochai deal with the affairs of the people from various houses, but let Tanchun, a weak daughter, deal with the house full of difficult women, and I don't know who instigated it. The first thing is the matter of Tanchun's uncle Zhao Guoji.

If Tanchun wanted to continue to take charge of the family, he would have to use Zhao Guoji's affairs as a knife. Come over, make Tanchun feel ashamed by making a lot of noise.

Unknowingly Tanchun wept and said: "Rao is a family member, who doesn't know that I am raised by my aunt? But she always comes out to say some trivial things, but what should I do? After all, she is in the wife's room. Yes, if the wife finds out, how will she and Huaner live in the future?"

Daiyu sighed softly, took out an embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on Tanchun's face, and said softly, "Third sister, I always knew that you were the strongest, and many things would be better regardless, you know this Earning a living, maybe it will make people a good person, and give it to others for nothing.”

Tanchun raised his head to look at Daiyu in amazement, only felt that Daiyu's smiling face was filled with a piercing clarity and grace, felt sad and took it easy, looked at Daiyu with guilt on his face, and said: "This is the truth. Depends on my sister, it made me vomit bitter water, don't blame my sister."

Daiyu smiled slightly, looked at the three of them, and said, "You don't have to say that, originally I didn't intend to see you today."

Daiyu's blunt words made Sanchun startled, but then she smiled helplessly, and Tanchun sighed: "A while ago when the old lady went out alone, I already knew it, it doesn't matter if my sister is gone."

Suddenly remembering Jiamu's instructions before leaving, she smiled and said, "It's fine if sister doesn't see us, the reason why the old lady asked us to come today is really not simple."

He wanted to use sisterhood to win over Daiyu and let Daiyu go back to the house. Seeing the joy and joy between Jiamu's eyebrows, there must be something that made Jiamu want to take Daiyu back to the house so urgently.

Yingchun pondered for a long time, met Daiyu's gaze, and said: "Sister should also be more careful, although I don't understand what it is, but if it is something that even the eldest lady can understand, I think the old lady must have a plan in mind. "

Daiyu smiled faintly, the co-authorship was nothing more than the fact that she was honored as princess, but this matter, because of her illness, has not been made public, so that Xiao Wu is really inextricably linked with the Jia family Unconsciously, he lowered his head and picked up the tea bowl to cover up the trace of sadness on his face.

"The girl is not in good health yet, but she is greedy for a cup of tea again, so I should change it quickly and drink some lotus seed porridge." As soon as the words fell, Chunxian snatched the tea bowl from Daiyu's hand and served the lotus seed porridge up.

Xichun looked at Daiyu's helpless look with a smile, and smiled unconsciously: "It's also fortunate that sister Chunxian is serving by my sister's side, otherwise my sister really doesn't know how to cherish herself."

"It's not that the girl doesn't care, but that there are people who want to harm the girl. The servant girl originally thought about it. Since the three girls came today, I also persuaded the girls. Now that you are old, I'm afraid there are many people who make up their minds. "Hearing Chunxian's words, Yingchun's hand holding the tea bowl trembled twice, and hurriedly put the tea bowl on the tea tray, and her hands twisting the embroidered handkerchief were pale and bloodless.

Chunxian didn't feel surprised, but Daiyu looked at Yingchun's pale face in puzzlement, but she didn't see Yingchun saying anything. Xichun sat aside calmly, only looked at Daiyu and said, "Sister Chunxian said that someone is going to kill you." Sister Lin?"

Chun Xian nodded, pointed to the Holy Day Ziyanhong on the porch, and said: "It turned out that someone used the Holy Day Ziyanhong and taro cakes as tricks to harm the girl through the hands of the Empress Dowager." Otherwise, how could the girl have been ill for so long, and how could her body have reached such a state?"

Sanchun was terrified when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Daiyu's hand, saying, "I don't know what kind of black-hearted person he is, to poison my sister like this."

Daiyu smiled slightly, looked at them and said with a smile: "Chunxian said this, you should also keep it in your heart. If you are not prepared at that time, you will suffer for nothing like me." Her graceful eyes looked at Yingchun's white face , the look of panic in the almond eyes became more and more intense.

Tanchun also burst into a wry smile, glanced at Yingchun and said: "Some time ago I heard in a daze that the old man wanted to give it to the Sun family in Datong. For two silver, sell the second sister to the Sun family."

Daiyu unconsciously put down the lotus seed porridge in her hand, looked at Yingchun's miserable and tearful face, then looked at Chunxian and said, "Then what kind of family is the Sun family in Datong?"

Chunxian thought for a while, then looked at Yingchun hesitantly, not knowing whether she should say it or not, but Daiyu knew it was wrong when she saw this, thinking that Yingchun was born with the death of her own mother, even though she had been brought up by Jiamu all the time, she couldn't make up for Jia Pardoning the status of the elder, even Jia's mother would have nothing to do when the time comes, she frowned unconsciously, and quietly lowered her eyes without saying a word.

Yingchun saw that Chunxian seemed to have something to say, so she hid the tears in her eyes, raised her head and smiled and said, "Chunxian just say it, anyway, it's the same, why don't you let me know first."

Chunxian broke her heart, and said: "The Sun family in Datong is a wealthy family if it sounds good, but it's just a nouveau riche who lives in the market on weekdays. They say that they will marry a The daughter of the family."

Yingchun felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave in her heart, but it turned out that she was really someone who couldn't get on the stage. Looking at their sisters here, Chunxian finally covered up the rest of her words. That Sun Shaozu was not only cruel and immoral What's more, he sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows every day, misses the place of fireworks, and has the best friendship with Xue Pan.

Just because Mr. Sun passed away too early, Mrs. Sun was the only one who doted on her boundlessly, but all the maids in Sun's mansion turned into aunts with enchanting looks, which shows what absurd person Sun Shaozu is.If Yingchun is such a weak golden boudoir, flowery and willow figure, if he falls into his hands, how can he survive?

After hearing this, Xichun became more and more cold-hearted, and said: "If I am like this, I might as well just twist my hair and become a sister-in-law. In the end, I will end up a little bit clean. It's not like a muddy place that is hard to get rid of."

Xichun's lonely and arrogant temperament became more and more intense, which made Daiyu feel uneasy. If she had any reluctance, it was only Xichun at this young age. I'm afraid that the cold temper will go all the way to the end.

"Fourth sister is just talking about it. There is nothing difficult in the world that you can't get through. You must not give up on yourself first, and no one will be able to save you at that time. Buddhist scriptures and the like are on a daily basis to purify your mind and do more good deeds. That's all, if you insist on escaping into the Buddhist gate, the Buddhist gate is not a place to escape from the mundane thoughts, but rather desecrates the Buddhist gate."

Daiyu has never been a persuasive person, and even she herself felt that what she said was a bit nondescript, but she thought it was funny at first, and said: "I'm getting more and more unkind, but I still mean that, Fourth Sister wants You just need to understand." Xichun looked down at the magnolia on the embroidered shoes quietly, and didn't say anything for a while.

Looking at the sky outside, Yingchun took the two sisters to get up, and said: "Little sister, please rest, we should go back." The mansion is still waiting for their reply, I am afraid it will be another unsettled battle Big waves.

Looking at the boxes of supplements and exquisite cloth jewelry on the porch, Daiyu waved her hand lightly, and said, "Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, I don't lack anything here, you just take it back. I can't stand these things."

Tanchun looked at Daiyu, then at Yingchun Xichun, the three of them looked at each other with a smile, and said: "We also knew that my sister didn't like these things, so I put some stickers on them with their respective names written on them. Name. Regardless of whether my sister wants it or not, I should give my sister a precaution."

Tanchun pointed at the long rosewood box, with a three-pointed smile on his eyebrows, he said: "There are some things prepared by me and my second and fourth sisters, and they are for my sister, if my sister doesn't mind it, just take it. "

Chunxian and Xueyan stepped forward to take the long pear-blossom wooden box, and ordered the woman beside her to carry out the rest of the things. Daiyu got up and sent them to the door. Daiyu stepped forward and said: "Little sister, go back by yourself, the three of us are walking together, and there are still those maids and women outside, so it's hard to avoid those verbal disputes."

Daiyu nodded, watching the three sisters without a maid beside them, slowly disappearing into the snow falling all over the sky, only the footprints left behind made Daiyu feel sour in her heart, dripping tears slip down.
