Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

In Wu Nong's soft words, the Jiangnan water town, the faint clear waves ripple with the wind, the distant mountains are reflected in the water, the clouds are slightly emerald, the blue shadows are tilted like black jade, and the birds are strange in the empty mountains.

As the tea smells, a pair of plain white hands hold the teacup, and the blue and white flowers fall on the slender hands, sprinkling a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

At this time, the West Lake is covered by the autumn wind, and the maple leaves are lingering like fire clouds, the water waves are clear, and the leisurely fish are wagging their tails and lurking at the bottom of the water.

Shui Wanyu sat on the edge of the pavilion holding a fishing rod with great interest, dangling her little feet, with a self-satisfied smile on her brows, turned around and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you want to come fishing too? I heard people say this The autumn water fish in the West Lake are fat and delicious, if caught, we will have a feast today."

Wangqiu Pavilion is located on the southwestern edge of the Lin Mansion. The water in the lake comes from the West Lake, and it has not been deliberately blocked. It is just intercepted along the direction of the West Lake, and naturally many fish swim in.

Daiyu shook her head, then put down the teacup in her hand, leaned over the railing, the veiled hat danced with the wind, a faint smile escaped her lips, looking at the rippling water under the pavilion, the fish seemed impatient to bite Catch the bait that Shui Wanyu put down.

"Being greedy and forgetting your roots is a disaster. Poor fish, don't you know that you are about to face the fate of being slaughtered?" Shui Wanyu shook her head while holding a fishing rod, which made Daiyu laugh.

Daiyu nodded her head with her little hand, and said: "You are the one who put down the bait to lure them, and you are the one who expresses sympathy in a high-sounding manner, so did you take the fishing rod early out of pity? Or did you catch it and then give it to them?" A bunch of big ideas?"

Shui Wanyu turned around abruptly, looked at Daiyu's pretty face covering her mouth and snickering, almost gnashing her teeth, and said: "Well, you sister-in-law, more and more sent me here, see if I spare you?" He put the fishing rod on the railing, turned around and jumped down to chase Daiyu.

Daiyu hid behind Chunxian and smiled weakly. She pulled Chunxian's sleeve and said, "Chunxian, you are judging. Is it Wanyu's fault or mine?"

Chunxian supported Daiyu to stand firm, and carefully caressed her back to smooth the air. Seeing Shui Wanyu sitting on the railing calmly, he just smiled and said: "The county chief is fishing but wants to show mercy. Such a face and thought, I'm afraid even the Buddha has no idea, so we can only rely on the princess to make the decision."

Daiyu couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard it, and Shui Wanyu jumped up so much that she wanted to twist Chunxian, saying: "Well, you have a narrow hoof, you are more and more towards sister-in-law, see if I forgive you?" Jumping forward, it made the maid who was serving beside her laugh even more uncomfortable.

Chun Xian dodged left and right, after all, the pavilion was limited, and she accidentally fell to the surface of the water, which made her stop immediately, turned around in a hurry and jumped into the pavilion again.

Daiyu looked amused and worried, so she took Wanyu's hand and said, "My good sister, please spare Chunxian, this pavilion is very narrow, if you accidentally fall down, not to mention the cold autumn water, It's just that my sister said it was fishing, but it turned out to be fishing herself?"

Daiyu's first sentence was okay, but the latter became more and more cramped. Shui Wanyu was so angry that she took the white jade chopsticks on the table and tapped Daiyu's little hand, saying: "Fortunately, it's still my sister-in-law, who is more and more indulgent to this little Chunxian." Hoof, sister-in-law is bad."

Seeing Shui Wanyu's jumping feet angrily, Daiyu smiled more and more like a flower, avoiding Shui Wanyu's mischievous hand, and said with a smile: "Forget it, forget it, today our master and servant have fallen into your hands. My sister, hurry up!" Let's go fishing, if the fish bites the bait all of a sudden, won't you, Yu'er, be crying until the rain falls?"

Her teeth are as clever as the jingle bells of a yellow warbler, floating faintly on the surface of the water, so blocked that Shui Wanyu couldn't say a word, she just stared at Daiyu, then went back to hold the fishing rod and pulled it up, and she really saw that the bait was gone. Yes, I also put away my thoughts of fishing, and rolled my eyes while putting away the fishing rod. After putting away the fishing rod, I already had an idea in my heart.

Daiyu, who knew her very well, was already ready when she turned around, snickering, holding Chunxian's hand, and walked out of the pavilion lightly.

Shui Wanyu turned around suddenly, looked at the person behind Ting Kong in astonishment, stomped her feet angrily, handed the fishing rod to Qingteng beside her, raised her skirt and chased forward step by step like a cloud.

When he was about to catch up with Daiyu, he was already out of breath from exhaustion, panting and laughing with Daiyu's arms hanging down, and said: "Bad sister-in-law, bad sister-in-law, I am getting worse like my brother."

Daiyu smiled lightly and rolled up her beautiful hair at the temples.The water has a fragrance and is about to say something. The wind blowing from the lake is mixed with the smell of fish, which makes Daiyu feel nauseous and nauseated, and her face is as white as paper in an instant. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Daiyu and said, "Sister-in-law (Princess), what's the matter with you?"

Daiyu bent down a little, stroked her rebellious stomach, managed to suppress her nausea, raised her head and smiled reassuringly, and said, "It's okay, maybe it was just caught wind in the pavilion, just go back and have a rest. "

Chunxian was worried after hearing this, and said: "Princess, let's go back quickly, and I will let the servants take the pulse of the concubine later, and if there is anything wrong, I will know earlier."

Daiyu was pale and smiled lightly, pointing at Chunxian and said, "You are the one sent by Brother Rong to watch over me, so you have to get me some medicine for even the slightest ailment."

Chunxian shot Daiyu a look, and said: "Princess really, I never know how to cherish my own body. I care about you, so you have to make up another one."

Shui Wanyu also looked at Daiyu with worried eyes, and said: "Sister-in-law, you should listen to sister Chunxian, let's go back quickly, if there is a wind, look at Brother Wang, forgive me." Then he and Chunxian helped Daiyu go to Moyuxuan.

The bamboo leaves in the garden were spotted with yellow leaves, and the autumn hibiscus petals fell to the ground with the continuous autumn rain for many days, and were mixed into the mud. The pebbles were covered with moss, and Chun Xian frowned secretly.

It was because they were familiar with the roads of the Lin Mansion that they took this road. They didn't expect the cobblestones to be covered with moss. If they were not careful, they would really fall to the ground, so they stopped in their tracks, supported Daiyu and said with a smile: "Princess, this road is full of moss, let's go around from the side path to the corridor."

Daiyu frowned and looked at the moss and rocks on the ground, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, this moss is not easy to move, if one accidentally falls on the ground, it will be ugly."

"Dai'er." Shui Rong's voice came from behind, and Daiyu's clear eyes showed joy, then she turned around and said with a smile, "Brother Rong."

Shui Rong came forward, held Daiyu close to her arms, looked at her thin clothes with a frown, and cared with half reproach, "The autumn wind is chilly, your body is thin, why did you walk out wearing such little clothes?" While speaking, he took off the cloak on his body and tied it firmly on Daiyu's shoulders.

The hem of the oversized cloak dragged on the ground, Shui Rong squatted down and gathered the hem of the cloak, tied the two corners together, looked up at Daiyu and smiled, "This way Dai'er won't fall."

Daiyu smiled heartily, a dimple suddenly appeared, and her smile was shallow, when she looked up, she saw Shui Han and Sang Qingyan standing on the corridor, looking at them with a half-smile, her delicate face became more and more red, pulling The water-melting hand called softly: "Brother Rong."

Shui Rong came back to his senses, turned around and glanced at Shui Han and the two of them, ignoring them, and walked up the corridor holding Daiyu's little hand, and said softly when passing by: "Prince and concubine, please do your own thing. We're going back first."

Shui Han spread out his hands, a little smile flickered in his eyes, and said, "Brother Beiwang and his wife, please, our husband and wife have not had a good time to visit Mr. Lin's garden." Then he carried Sang Qingyan and walked down Cloister steps, bypassing the bamboo forest and going straight to the lake.

Chun Xian hurriedly walked to Shui Rong's body in two steps, and said: "The princess is not feeling well, and the maidservant is waiting to go back to check the pulse with the princess."

Hearing that Daiyu's body was not feeling well, and there was some anxiety on her water-soluble face, she pulled Daiyu's small hand to look up and down carefully, and said, "What's wrong with Dai'er?"

Daiyu glanced at Chunxian reproachfully, her eyes were bright and charming, and said with a smile, "You listened to Chunxian's nonsense, but the lake smells fishy, ​​what else?"

Shui Rong glanced at Daiyu disapprovingly, then held Daiyu in his arms, wrapped Daiyu tightly with a cloak, and ordered Qingteng to serve Wanyu to go back first, while holding Daiyu to Mo Yuxuan go.

Chun Xian followed quickly, and when they got to Mo Yuxuan, thousands of green bamboos covered the beams of the roof, Dai Yu saw Shui Rong's anxious eyes, immediately held his hand, and said, "Brother Rong, don't worry, Dai'er is fine. "

After saying this, Dai'er suddenly remembered something, so she said "Yeah", hurriedly came over, sat beside Daiyu, and said, "What's wrong with Dai'er?" voila.

Daiyu snapped her fingers, thought for a while, and then remembered Miaoyu's words again, joy flooded her face.Seeing Daiyu's surprised face, Shui Rong became more and more worried, stroked Daiyu's snowy forehead and said, "Dai'er, what's wrong with you, Dai'er?"

Daiyu held Shui Rong's hand with slightly trembling little hands, looked directly at him and said, "Brother Rong, do you remember what I told you about Sister Miaoyu the day before yesterday?"

At this moment, Shui Rong only cared about Daiyu's body, how could he care so much, took the small pillow, thought for a while, and said again: "You said it the day before yesterday." Thinking of what Daiyu said the day before yesterday, Shui Rong immediately stopped. Move up, put the small pillow aside, hold Daiyu's shoulders with both hands, and say: "Dai'er mean?"

Daiyu nodded, her eyes filled with autumn waves and clear water, her trembling fingertips caressed her flat belly, walking back and forth as if she wanted to touch the traces of life, Chunxian saw this, and hurriedly held up Daiyu's little hand Pulse diagnosis.

Daiyu snuggled into Shui Rong's arms, with a sweet smile that couldn't be restrained from the corners of her mouth. Both of them looked at Chunxian. After a while, Chunxian finished her pulse diagnosis, knelt down to congratulate her and said, "My servant congratulates the lord and concubine, the fetus in the womb of the concubine has passed." For more than a month, the pulse is calm and there is no abnormality at all, as long as the princess is healthy and will be raised."

Hearing these words, Shui Rong's heart sank immediately, he looked at Chun Xian and said, "Is there any discomfort in the princess' pulse?"

Seeing that there was no joy on Shui Rong's face, Chun Xian hurriedly said: "Reporting to the lord, the princess's pulse is normal, it's just because the princess is usually weak and healthy, so she has to be very careful before three months."

Daiyu stretched out her hand to smooth the creases between Shui Rong's eyebrows, smiled quietly, immersed in the joy of being a mother, and said, "I don't like seeing Brother Rong frown. Brother Rong, this is our child, don't you Like it?"

Shui Rong hugged Daiyu tightly and leaned against her bosom, sighed softly: "I wanted to make your body and bones better, and it won't take too much energy to give birth, it's just now."

Daiyu covered his mouth, with a little bewilderment in her eyes, and said softly: "Brother Rong, don't worry, Dai'er will stay by your side for a long, long time, and our child, don't tell me our family is here Wouldn't it be nice to be together?"

After a pause, he said in a childish and coquettish voice: "What's more, brother Rong is not young anymore, if he doesn't have any more children, people will gossip behind his back and let people have such thoughts out of thin air. I don't like that you are the meat on the chopping board, and everyone is thinking about it."

Shui Rong hugged Daiyu in a funny way, the melancholy between her brows seemed to be dispelled by Daiyu's tender voice, she sighed deeply, and said, "Okay, as long as Dai'er is safe and sound, of course I like our child, If I can have a daughter like Dai'er, then my life is enough."

Daiyu nodded. She always knew that Shui Rong didn't care about boys and girls. Now that she heard him say that, she was still overjoyed. So immersed in joy, Shui Rong still maintained a vigilance, so she looked at the side and stood with a smile on her face. Chunxian said: "The princess is weak and weak. It has not been three months. Don't tell anyone. In the future, you must stay by the princess's side every step of the way. No one is allowed to approach her, not even Wanyu."

When Chunxian heard this, she felt a heavy weight in her heart, so she leaned over and said, "Please rest assured, the life of this servant was saved by the princess that day, so I will do my best to protect the safety of the princess."

Shui Rong nodded, and said: "Forget it, you go out first. I know you know the art of qi and yellow, so you can prescribe a prescription to conceive with the concubine."

Seeing Shui Rong's solemn expression, Daiyu got up from his arms and said, "Brother Rong."

Shui Rong suppressed the condensed look on his face, and then softened his face, and said, "Dai'er, do you want to rest for a while?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "I'm not tired! Brother Rong, when can we go back to the capital?"

Shui Rong put his arms around Daiyu and leaned against his chest, and said with a slight smile, "The matter in Jiangnan has been dealt with almost, as long as we cut off the source of income for Shuiyan, then we are already sure to win."

"Cut off his food supply, and cut off his income now, no matter how determined he is to rebuild, it will be difficult for him to turn around in ten years." Shui Rong raised his eyebrows, and there was a sharp sneer at the corner of his mouth, but in an instant, the condensation in his eyes dropped , smiled lowly and said: "It's also a coincidence that this Jiangnan source of wealth is left by his father-in-law. Who do you think he will turn to?"

Daiyu raised her eyes in surprise, and said, "Dad left it behind?"

Shui Rong scratched her little nose, and smiled softly: "Dai'er is becoming more and more curious, don't worry, Brother Rong will tell you everything in the future, can Dai'er take a break for now?"

While talking while holding Daiyu in her arms, she softly comforted her with a smile: "Dai'er should think about our child anyway, if you can't sleep well, and you are sleepy again and again, she is a little girl in your stomach. Yawning again and again, Dai'er willing?"

Daiyu sneered, caressing Shui Rong's handsome face with her small hands in a funny way, and said with a smile: "You know her so well? My baby is in my womb. I still don't understand, but you do."

Shui Rong smiled faintly, picked up Daiyu and walked to the bed, helped Daiyu to lie down, and also lay down beside Daiyu with all her clothes, and said with a smile: "Dai'er will sleep, I will wake you up at dinner time."

Daiyu leaned against Shui Rong's arms and felt her eyelids were sleepy, so she closed her eyes, quietly fell into Shui Rong's warm embrace, and gradually sank into a sweet dream.

In the dreamland, flowers are fluttering, petals of various colors are flying all over the sky, and the fragrance is strong and tangy. Unknowingly, I turn into the flowers and circle around, looking at the pink doll sitting in the huge pink water hibiscus, as if waving to Daiyu.

When Daiyu woke up again, the sky outside had turned dark blue, the setting sun had already set beyond the horizon, the big orange-red ball was like a fireball, and the golden afterglow decorated the whole Mo Yuxuan with golden light, overflowing with soft light.

"Are you awake?" The water-soluble low and hoarse voice came to mind, Daiyu rubbed her eyes childishly, rubbed against his arms, and said, "What time is it?"

Shui Rong looked at the scenery outside the sky, sat up straight and put Daiyu in his arms, said: "The sun has set, get up and have some food."

Daiyu shook her head, she didn't have any appetite when she first woke up, so she yawned and became more and more sleepy, leaning against Shui Rong's arms, not wanting to get up lazily, she muttered in a low voice: "I haven't woken up yet."

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu's reckless appearance amusedly, and said, "Which one was talking to me just now?"

"I was talking in my sleep!" After speaking, she really closed her eyes and fell asleep, as if she really didn't wake up.

Shui Rong shook his head helplessly, stood up with Daiyu in his arms, and said, "You are a picky eater, get up quickly!"

Daiyu's drowsiness from being pushed and pushed by Shui Rong had gone for the most part, she twisted the arm holding her with some displeasure, stretched her waist, opened her pretty eyes and looked at Shui Rong with a half-unhappy look, and muttered: "Rong Brother is getting worse and worse, don't allow Dai'er to sleep for a while."

When Chunxian heard the movement in the house, she had already ordered the little girl to come in without washing things, and then turned on the lights to brighten up the house. Then she went to the front of the screen and said, "My lord and concubine, please get up and wash up."

Daiyu let Shui Rong pull up helplessly, put on her clothes, turned around and walked out of the screen, and washed her clothes with Chunxian's hands.

The two of them had just finished washing and washing, when they heard the little girl outside the door say: "Your Madam, Mr. Jiang and the two golden girls are waiting in the front hall, and they said they want to see you and his wife."

When Shui Rong heard these three people coming, he immediately frowned, with a bit of indifference and alienation, he said indifferently: "Understood, let them listen for a while."
