Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

When the rain of peach blossoms was falling, the capital city was full of turmoil, and the low and depressing oppression oppressed everyone's nerves!

Bright lightning pierced the sky, the intense light dazzled people's eyes suddenly, their hearts were filled with sorrow, and the torrential rain poured down.

"My lord is auspicious." The saluting voice of the maid outside the door made Daiyu turn around, and when she turned around slowly, she saw that Shui Rong had already taken off her coir raincoat cloak and some damp coat.

Look at Daiyu standing slender and weak by the desk by the window, with a smile blooming on her delicate face, and her delicate and exquisite eyes are flowing.

Shui Rong stepped forward and held Daiyu's little hand, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "Why are you standing by this window? Be careful that the wind and rain outside the window hurt you."

Wiping the raindrops from the corner of his forehead with a small hand, and smoothing the hair, he smiled lightly and said, "How did you come back so soon after such a heavy wind and rain?"

Shui Rong closed his eyes and let Daiyu take care of her hair and clothes. The tenderness in her heart overflowed, and she said with a smile, "The envoy from Dongpu has been settled properly, so it's not a big deal."

Daiyu paused the movements of her hands, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Who can choose who will make the marriage?"

Shui Rong shook his head, and said: "I don't know about it now, but the eldest grandson Wuyong of Dongpu and the great general Murong Chengbo, now that they have settled down, they are about to get married."

Daiyu let out a soft 'oh', her little hands clutching the corners of her clothes felt a little dazed, she quietly looked out the window at the scattered peach blossoms struggling to withstand the wind and rain, and sighed softly, "This floating world is like drifting away, so what about the bright branches, in the end It's nothing but peach blossoms falling to nothing."

Shui Rong hugged Daiyu and leaned in his arms, and said with a soft smile, "What's the matter today? Didn't you say that it was a rare soaring world? Why are you expressing such emotion again?"

Daiyu lay in his arms, with a smile on her lips, thinking that Tanchun is now the princess of Nan'an Palace, although her status is respected, she has become her destiny to be slaughtered.

The day before yesterday, I saw Tanchun enter the palace to thank you, but I saw tears on her pale jade face, but there was no trace of joy.That's right, the Dongying lady is licentious and innocent, she has little talent but is full of ambitions, she is nearly forty years old, but she has no children around her.

None of the concubines in the palace can stay with them for a long time, and even the queen of Jiefa has already died in Jiuquan. Who can say that such a person will be a good king and husband?As for Tanchun, I'm afraid it's hard to escape this calamity.

Quietly looking into Daiyu's sad face, Shui Rong didn't answer, but only tightened his big hand around Daiyu, caressing her slender back carefully, but the vortex caught in his eyes gradually surged.

Changsun Wuyong, just like his name, is really useless, you can't treat loyal ministers kindly, but listen to the words of arrogant ministers, instigate soldiers, just fell into such a situation,

On the contrary, Murong Chengbo is a tough man, brave and good at fighting through thorns and thorns, most of the eldest grandson Wuyong is less than one in ten thousand.The number one hero in catching Shui Yu is Murong Chengbo, he is brave and resourceful and he is a good general, I am afraid that his ambition is more than that, that Murong Chengbo is not a thing in the pool, I am afraid that one day, the eldest grandson Wuyong will end up with him sooner or later The end of a rare good fruit.

Daiyu looked at Shui Rong silently for a long while, saw the cold smile on his lips, and said, "Just now you said that the leader of Dongying Kingdom and General Murong have come here? They are really brave. .”

Shui Rong straightened her hair by the sideburns, walked towards the couch with Daiyu in her arms, sat on the couch, and said with a smile: "It will still be the common people who suffer from the chaotic border. If you want to win the hearts of the people, the best way is to It's a truce. Since the Celestial Dynasty has won, the Celestial Dynasty will not lose anything if it sends a daughter of a duke's mansion to marry."

Daiyu nodded half-understood, turned around to look at Shui Rong, blinked at Shui Rong with sparkling eyes, sighed softly knowing her deep Shui Rong, and said with a smile: "Dai'er, let's talk again. What's the matter? If there is something dangerous, brother Rong won't agree to you."

Daiyu laughed lightly, seeing the helplessness on his face, she couldn't stop laughing coquettishly, and said: "Didn't Brother Rong make Dai'er ashamed to death by saying this? It seems that Dai'er is ignorant."

Shui Rong shook his head, kissed Dai Yuxue's forehead, said with a smile: "I dare not say that, if I say it, wouldn't Dai Er annoy me?"

Daiyu glanced at him, pulled his big hand and said with a smile: "This is what I said from my heart. Although it is not true, it is clear to hear." "Good brother, just follow Dai'er. Dai'er just goes out for a walk. There can be no danger.

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu's delicate smile with condensed eyebrows, burst out laughing immediately, hugged Daiyu and lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If you really agree to you, where are you going?"

Daiyu clasped her little hands, frowned for a while, raised her eyes and said with a smile: "The Jingcheng Temple outside the city is a good place to go, and it is best to worship Buddha and cultivate some good fruits."

Shui Rong nodded, looked at the sky outside the curtain where the raindrops were gradually stopping, and smiled lowly against Daiyu's snowy forehead: "If I agree with you, what good will it be?" Daiyu looked at Shui Rong in puzzlement, But seeing his deep pupils were stained with that evil light, his face immediately turned red, and before he could push away in a hurry, he was picked up by Shui Rong and went to the inner room.

The doors and windows of the rhombic lattice are closed, and the drapery hangs down like a wave, and only the candlelight flickers in the misty inner room, which is shy.

The willow branches are blowing gently, the sound of the birds is dripping and melodious, Tanchun sitting quietly by the window is quietly holding the flower stick that he got that day. On the flower stick is an apricot blossom, and the red letter is written with the four characters "Yaochi Xianpin", the poem goes : Red apricots are planted against the clouds by the sun.Note cloud: Those who get this lottery will get a noble son-in-law.

"Whoever wins this lottery will get a noble son-in-law!" One drop, two drops, low-pitched tears fell down, and wet the brocade beanie with red embroidered roses on the body, and a red gold phoenix with wings spread on the hair bun Chai, coral beads fell on the forehead, only to feel cool to the bone, it seems that the wind and cold are still irresistible in March and April.

"Where does spring return? There is no way to travel in loneliness. If someone knows where spring is going, call him back to live with him. Who knows if there is no trace of spring? Unless you ask the oriole. No one can understand the hundred songs, because the wind flies past the roses." Where does spring return? ?Yes, where does spring return?

"Girl." Seeing that Tanchun was so sad, the waiter at the side rushed forward to comfort her, but saw that Tanchun had already wiped away the tears, just like the gorgeous rose in Jia's mansion that day. With some strong thorns in his chest, he stopped speaking and just stood quietly aside.

"Is the princess Chengyang here? The concubine invited the princess to the front hall." Hearing this, Tanchun hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, but his heart immediately darkened, and he gave a wry smile. The fate that should come has finally come.

The servant girl by the door opened the curtain early, and saw the nanny next to Concubine Nanan come in, bowed and said with a smile: "The concubine invited Chengyang princess to the front hall, the empress dowager in the palace welcome."

After Tanchun heard this, he hurriedly ordered the waiter to take a purse containing silver taels and gave it to the nanny, and said with a smile: "Trouble nanny, let's go for a while, the silver taels are just for drinking with the nanny."

The mother weighed the silver in her hands, and immediately smiled, and said: "How dare you bother the princess to spend money. Since it is a reward from the princess, if the old slave doesn't accept it, it's not good, so I'll ask the princess more."

"You go first, report to the concubine, and say that I will be there in a while." Hearing this, the nanny left the back room respectfully, packed the silver and went to the main room.

Seeing that no one was around, the servant spat and said, "What has become of it, but she is just the rough envoy in front of the concubine, what kind of prestige is she playing with the girl?"

Tanchun turned around and looked at the waiter's book, and said, "Forget it, don't bother me any more, change your clothes quickly, let's go to the front hall." She had to bow her head under the eaves, this reason she had grown up I understand.

Because her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was only a half master, and Mrs. Wang was her serious aunt just now. No matter if it was pandering and agreeing, it had been something that she had been obsessed with since she was a child. What else could she not see?

Now that she is accepted as the Princess of Nan'an Prince's Mansion, and given the title of Chengyang, don't you know that it was set up by the Prince of Nan'an?Otherwise, there was a princess in the Nan'an Palace, and the Nan'an Concubine would not miss her daughter to accompany her. In her eyes, other people's daughters are nothing more than pawns.

If Jingcheng Temple can be regarded as a royal temple, then the Daxiong Hall is where the former emperor personally opened the Buddha's light. Naturally, the incense is flourishing and life is boiling.

When Daiyu came to the Jingcheng Temple, the abbot had already chased away the idlers in the temple, and welcomed Daiyu in, cupped his hands and said: "I was enlightened by the Buddha yesterday, and I know that a phoenix is ​​coming today, so don't you?" Just to welcome the princess?"

Daiyu heard the monk's flattering words, she felt a little displeased, she just smiled lightly, ordered the snow geese beside her to present the silver taels, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the words of the master, these sesame oil coins are my heart."

Hearing this, the host took the silver, ordered someone to burn incense, and handed it to Xueyan who was standing beside him. Xueyan shared the incense with Daiyu. The Buddha in the middle, pray sincerely.

After paying homage to the Buddha for a while, the host welcomed Daiyu and his party to the meditation room in the back mountain. The meditation room was built next to mountains and rivers. It was quiet and elegant with the fresh air after the rain, which made Daiyu feel a little joy.

Chunxian winked, and Xueyan nodded, only to see Chunxian and Chunqiao inquiring around the meditation room in the backyard one by one, and then returned to Daiyu's side with peace of mind, and said in a low voice: "Wangfei Don't worry, the three sides of the meditation room here are facing the cliffs and valleys, and the other side is the secluded path that we just walked in."

Daiyu nodded, looked at Chunxian and said, "That's all, you go." Chunxian nodded, and walked to the front hall with Chunqiao.

Daiyu did a little dressing, then leaned on the couch, holding the scroll in her hand, quietly waiting for Chengyang's arrival.

The sunny spring sun has gradually turned into the strong light of summer. The strong sunlight dazzles people's eyes almost unbearably. Although the backyard of the meditation room facing the cliffs and valleys is not magnificent, it has a delicate and quiet quaint atmosphere. It was fragrant, and the cool wind hit, making Daiyu sigh comfortably.

"Princess, Princess Chengyang is here." Hearing this, Daiyu got up in a hurry, put on the embroidered shoes with Xueyan's hand, and went to the door, seeing the well-dressed Tanchun, Daiyu immediately burst into tears, With a light sigh, he said, "Third sister."

Tanchun might as well be able to see Daiyu at this time, suppressing the depression in his heart for many days, he immediately hugged Daiyu and cried out, the mournful cry made the people standing beside him feel sad and weep.

Crying sobbing and choking, Tanchun took a long time to stop the tears from falling, hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took Daiyu's little hand and said, "Sister Lin, I didn't expect that I would still see you."

Daiyu pulled Tanchun to sit down, and said: "Now that you have become the princess of Chengyang, you look more and more like a child." After a pause, she continued: "When you entered the palace the day before yesterday, I was in the palace. It's also inconvenient to meet you, how is my sister doing now?"

Tanchun stroked the hem of the skirt to embroider, the excitement of seeing Daiyu at first had completely disappeared, and the only thing left was a faint melancholy lingering between his brows, and he sighed softly: "What else can I do? Now it's a certainty, What else can be changed?"

Seeing the sourness she said, Daiyu finally understood in her heart, but she also persuaded her, and said with a smile: "Third sister, don't say that, I still remember that your flower lottery was destined to win your son-in-law back then. Could it be that this is also fake, sister just don't worry. , until the last moment, who will know if something happens?"

Tanchun raised his eyes to look at Daiyu, hesitated for a long time, and then sighed: "If my sister still has a little bit of affection from the past, I just hope that if something happens to the Jia family in the future, my sister can help Wear some."

Hearing this, Daiyu's face immediately sank, and she said coldly, "Third sister, I saw you today because of our sister's friendship. I know who you are, so I really feel sorry for you I respect you. However, in that mansion, I have already made it clear that I don’t care about the affairs of that mansion, no matter who it is, it’s not my business after all to rely on them to go."

Hearing what Daiyu said resolutely, Tanchun was a little flustered, and hurriedly took Daiyu's little hand and said, "Sister, I misunderstood me, I mean the second and fourth sisters, and now I'm leaving, only they are left." The two of them are in the mud of the swamp, after all, they can't grow up."

Daiyu stared blankly at the green valley outside the window. After a long while of silence, she turned around indifferently, and said, "Third sister, you must know that everyone has their own destiny, and your elder sister Lin is not that capable." To take care of those many things. I remember the relationship between our sisters, and I understand your situation, so I came to see you, just to reassure you. Do you know that we sisters still have a chance to meet?"

Tanchun was stunned, hearing Daiyu's words, he immediately felt burning inside his body, but he nodded understandingly in an instant, lowered his head and stroked the silk belt around his waist, and said in a low voice: "I'm asking too much. "

There is still father and elder brother in charge of welcoming the spring and cherishing the spring, so how can Daiyu take care of the Jia family's affairs?If Daiyu intervenes, I'm afraid it will be even more confusing, who is Jia's mother, and who is Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng now?She is clear and understands very well.

Jia's mansion was unable to find a reason to get close to Daiyu and Beijing's mansion. If she really did, Daiyu's situation would only be in an embarrassing situation, so she raised her eyes and smiled softly: "If it wasn't because of my fate, I suddenly died. After this accident, I am afraid that even if we meet my sister today, we sisters will not be able to recognize each other."

Daiyu felt a little sour when she heard this. She stroked Tanchun's hand and remained silent for a while. Tanchun suddenly smiled and said, "The Jia family owes my sister too much. I shouldn't have asked for anything. It's fine now, usually Although my wife is not a serious wife, she has also established a foothold in Jia's family. If Huan'er is more up-to-date, then Mrs. Ping's rest of her life will be enough. I owe Mrs. Ping and Huan'er, and I will take advantage of this opportunity to make you happy. It's a little bit of my heart for my daughter to gain a foothold in them."

"It's just that the mansion is not a muddy place? The Baochai girl of Xue's family is now the concubine in the old man's room, but the servants in the other room are serving like grandmothers. Huan'er and Lan'er have already It has become a thorn in the side of the elder, and now it is also a duckweed in the wind and rain, and it is difficult to hold on to it."

Daiyu heard these words for a long time and couldn't get back to her senses. Baochai became Jia She's aunt and concubine?According to her temperament, wouldn't it turn Jia's mansion upside down again?

After quietly thinking for a moment, Daiyu smiled lightly and said: "Third sister, don't worry. Lan'er has always been alert, and the eldest sister-in-law is the most polite person, and the father of the Imperial College is here, how about the old man?" We can't do anything to her. As for Huan'er, Master Jia Er is at least an official of the imperial court, and has only one son under his knees, Huan'er, the younger brother of the imperial concubine's natal family. Now that Mrs. Ping is upright, that Huan'er is an upright man."

Jia Huan and Jia Lan are now Jia Zheng's only reliance. Since Jia Zheng can make Jia's mother love him so much, he thinks he will protect Jia Lan and Jia Huan more in the future. Jia Amnesty will not do anything in a short time.The only thing that needs to be guarded against is Xue Baochai who is good at scheming, I am afraid that there will be many secret methods in the future.

Tan Chun shook his head, weeping softly: "If I ransacked my own home first, how can I guarantee the future? I now only hope that in the future, the emperor will miss the old love and spare the lives of innocent people. It is."

After hearing this, Daiyu got up silently, she originally met Tanchun today to persuade Tanchun, since Tanchun has already figured it out, there is no need for her to say anything, that's all.

Standing quietly by the door for a long time, Daiyu just turned around to look at Tanchun who was still sitting there, and said, "Third sister, I know, you still have doubts in your heart, you will think that the old lady is my grandmother, you will I thought I was heartless and ungrateful. But I tell you clearly, I consider myself worthy of heaven and earth, my parents, and my filial piety to my grandmother. The way of justice."

Tanchun savored Daiyu's words carefully, at first she really resented Daiyu's indifference, but now she was startled when she heard Daiyu's words, thinking of the many evils in Jia's house in the past, but she didn't know, Good and evil will eventually be rewarded.

Standing up sadly, he smiled, and said: "Sister, I reflect on myself. I always thought of my sister as a cold-hearted, cold-faced and unreasonable person. Today, it turns out that I am stupid. My sister is the one who understands the ups and downs of life. People. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It’s not that there is no retribution, but that the time has not yet come. Today’s jumping and fighting, everyone knows that there is already a hidden murderous intention, but they only care about lust and enjoyment, forgetting to retreat and withdraw early.”

Daiyu stepped out of the room holding Chunxian's hand, turned back lightly and said, "Third sister, if the Jia family is really tired in the future, no matter whether you are going to get married or not, you should also remember the righteous etiquette in the world and ignore the etiquette." Respecting the law will eventually be a harm."

Tan Chun stood behind him, sighed softly and said, "Sister Lin, I already understand what you mean." Daiyu nodded, then stopped talking, and slowly walked out of the backyard of the meditation room, holding Chunxian's hand .

Tanchun stood quietly by the door, it took a long time for tears to flow down her cheeks, Daiyu was not ruthless, but too sentimental, if not, she would hardly see Daiyu today, after all, it was the Jia family who hurt her so much So deep.

'You can't live by doing your own crimes', the principle of the cycle of heaven and earth, is really unhappy with retribution.

There was a sound of "bang", there was a sound in the meditation room, Tanchun jumped, and cautiously went to the meditation room there, his eyes widened, and he saw a man lying on the ground, the smell of blood filled the whole meditation room , cast a shadow over this solemn and solemn meditation room.

Tanchun managed to suppress the fear in his heart, turned around to leave, but still sighed after all. "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." If you can save a person, it can be regarded as reducing the crimes of the Jia family by one point, so they helped the man leave with the servant and took a lot of effort before putting him down on the ground. Arhat on the bed.

The man opened his eyes and saw two young women, a pair of dark eyes stared at Tan Chun quietly for a long time, on the face that was full of energy, there were crystal tears falling down, adding a very charming charm.

Seeing the man staring at her face, Tanchun immediately regretted the impulsive action just now, turned around and was about to leave.

The man grabbed Tanchun's wrist as he was about to leave, and said in a low voice, "What's your name?"

The waiter watched the man holding Tan Chun's hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to beat the man's arm, but saw that although the man was injured, his aura was really impressive, how could he be their opponent? He became more and more panicked.

Tanchun saw the twinkle in his eyes, but there was no danger at all, so he forced himself to calm down and said, "You don't need to know my name or name. We just met by chance. This is a Zen temple. If you can move your body, you'd better get out of bed early." leave."

Places with a lot of people and chatter are the most taboo. Thinking about this person who was seriously injured, he must be an unusual person, but those deep eyes make Tanchun almost unable to suppress his frantic thoughts.

The man took a deep look at Tanchun, then turned around and walked along the cliff from the front of the house, gradually disappearing.Tanchun in this room looked thoughtfully at the back of the man leaving, and just now hurriedly left the Jingcheng Temple under the panicked call of the servant.

Watching Tanchun's sedan chair leave, the two standing in the dark came out at this moment, but it was Shui Rong and Daiyu, Shui Rong smiled lightly: "Now Dai'er can rest assured?"

Daiyu nodded, and said: "It's very good, the third sister is a rare woman, if she can get his favor, how can you know it's not a good thing?"

As he spoke, he looked up at Shui Rong and said, "How did you know he would come here?"

Shui Rong shook his hand, smiled lightly and said, "Don't leak the secret. Good Dai'er, we should go back home too, right?"

Daiyu glanced at Shui Rong, a faint smile overflowed from the corner of her lips, she quietly nestled into Shui Rong's arms, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go home."
