Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Taking the precious swords presented by Yuyangtian, Yinzhen, Daiyu and Lin Yi followed Yuyangtian back to the Mingjian Villa through the cave. At that time, Yuyangtian saw that it was getting late, because he said: "Second brother, younger sister Dai, and fourth beile, if you don't mind, you can stay here for one night and go back tomorrow." Daiyu saw that the sun was already in the west, and now she hurried back to Fuzhou, fearing that the city gate would be too late. Just close it.Furthermore, even if she was lucky enough to enter the city gate, she did not want Li Wei's mansion to disturb the house in order to keep the door for them, so it would be difficult to find the inn, so Daiyu smiled lightly and said: "It is so convenient Thank you, Brother Yu."

Although Yinzhen explained Bai Daiyu's thoughts, he was still unwilling to live in an unfamiliar house, especially when Daiyu was there, so Yinzhen's expression was extremely ugly at this moment .Lin Yi, who was at the side, saw Yinzhen's appearance, but secretly smiled in his heart, but it turned out that the cold-faced elder brother in the court, which made all the officials change their faces, had such a domineering side to Daiyu.Thinking about it, Lin Yi unexpectedly laughed out loud.

When Yinzhen heard Lin Yi's laughter, he felt displeased, because he asked: "What are you laughing at?" Lin Yi hurriedly suppressed his laughter when he heard this, and said: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect Si Ye to be like this That's all." Normally, Lin Yi would never dare to make fun of Yinzhen so blatantly, but just because he is in front of Daiyu now, as long as his teasing is not too much, Yinzhen can only swallow his anger, so The opportunity is rare, Lin Yi is not welcome.

Sure enough, just as Lin Yi thought, Yinzhen couldn't get angry even if he wanted to, because firstly, he was in front of Daiyu, and secondly, he knew that Daiyu sincerely treated Lin Yi as an elder brother, so he could only hold back his stomach He was so angry that he only "hummed" and said nothing.And Daiyu naturally knew what Yinzhen was thinking, so she pulled Yinzhen aside and said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, you have another stinky face. It's getting late now, if you're not here Eldest brother Zhuangzi will stay here, is it possible that we still have to sleep in the open tonight?" Yinzhen's face softened when he heard that, he was reluctant to let Daiyu suffer a little bit of wronged.

"Sister Dai, what are you two whispering?" Seeing Daiyu pulling Yinzhen aside, Yu Yangtian felt amused in his heart. Although he only spent so much time together today, he already felt that Daiyu was intelligent. The mischievous temperament hidden under the appearance is no different from that of ordinary little daughters. If it is said that he called Daiyu his elder brother and younger sister before because he was polite because he admired Daiyu, then now he really will Daiyu loved her as a little sister, so his words inevitably sounded like pampering to the ears of others.

Lin Yi can hear these words, but it is not the same thing in Yinzhen's ears. In addition, the jealousy in his heart is already very strong at the moment, hearing these words is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. At that moment, Yu Yangtian was automatically classified as a coquettish and lustful old man, and he could no longer maintain his usual calmness, so he blurted out and shouted to Yu Yangtian coldly: "Yu'er is not something you can covet." of!"

Suddenly hearing Yinzhen's nonsense words, not only Yuyangtian, but also Lin Yi and Daiyu were stunned for a moment, what did they hear Yinzhen say just now?After a long while, Yuyangtian looked at Yinzhen's serious and indifferent expression, and couldn't help but burst out laughing immediately, and said, "Sibeile, don't...could it be, do you think I... have something wrong with sister Dai?" Think?" As soon as Yuyangtian said this, Lin Yi and Daiyu immediately understood why Yinzhen suddenly said such a sentence, so one of them burst into laughter, while the other was completely red She was so ashamed and annoyed that she wished she could dig a hole in the ground and never come out again.

"Sibeiler, just don't worry, I really treat sister Dai as a younger sister. Besides, my son and daughter Shang are a few years older than sister Dai. Sister Dai, that’s still a bit convincing, if it’s me, Sibeile doesn’t have to worry.” Speaking of this, Yu Yangtian sighed slightly, and said: “In my heart, apart from my late wife, there is no need to worry. There is no place for any woman."

Lin Yi and Yu Yangtian were sworn brothers, so naturally he knew that Mrs. Yuyangtian's death was a wound in Yuyangtian's heart, which could not be touched easily, and only when talking about Yuyangtian's wife, Yuyangtian would show such sadness look.So Lin Yi hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Brother, don't talk anymore, my sister's face is so red that it can't be any more red, and besides, these four Baylors are already a big vinegar vat, a big jealous vat, even If my sister says a word or two to her own brother, he will be jealous for half a day, let alone you and me?"

Yu Yangtian naturally understood that Lin Yi said this because he was afraid of touching the hurt in his heart, so he gave Lin Yi a grateful smile, and then said: "If it is true, sister Dai will marry Sibeile in the future, I think she will be very happy Yes." Daiyu blushed when she heard the words, so she beat Yinzhen with her hands in annoyance. Of course, Daiyu was reluctant to use force, because the beating fell on Yinzhen's chest like a massage, and her mouth He just said: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, and I was made fun of by Brother Lin Yi and Brother Yu."

Seeing Daiyu's delicate state, Yinzhen was extremely happy in his heart, so he insisted on agreeing, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, my fourth brother's fault." After saying this, he ignored Yu Yangtian He and Lin Yi were in front of him, but he hugged Daiyu into his arms, his eyes were full of domineering.After Daiyu came to her senses, she couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried, so she had to bury her face deep in Yinzhen's arms and pretend to be an ostrich.Seeing Daiyu like this, Yuyangtian and Lin Yi naturally couldn't make fun of it anymore, so they both kept silent.

After a while, Yuyangtian ordered the servant girl to lead Daiyu and others down to rest. Although it has already entered autumn, because Quanzhou is located in southern Fujian, the weather is still quite hot, so Yuyangtian sent Daiyu and others The person's room is placed in the relatively cool and quiet Cuiwei Garden.

Cuiwei Garden is a huge garden in Mingjian Villa. The garden is not only beautiful, but also has extremely exquisite pavilions and pavilions. Although it is not like the dripping tiles in the Jiangnan area, it also has a different charm, and the most wonderful place The reason is that there is no real connection between the pavilions in this garden, but only by rowing a boat to go from one pavilion to another. Each individual courtyard is like a small island, but it does not give people a sense of loneliness , but because of the surrounding lotus and the fragrance of autumn water chestnuts, it makes people feel more relaxed and happy, and the world is vast.

When Daiyu saw her, she couldn't help admiring: "I used to live in the south of the Yangtze River, but Gusu has always been famous for its gardens. The graceful and clear lotus in the Gusu gardens can be said to have washed away all lead. Hua, is as pure as a girl in the age of cardamom, so I think it is a superb view to see the rain-beaten lotus in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, so the lotus is a graceful Song Ci, I have always thought so. But I don’t want to be here. I actually saw the other side of the lotus, look at the lotus that seems to be able to cover the sky and the sun, and it can express such a vast atmosphere, which makes me feel that I have always been too superficial."

After hearing this, Yinzhen also said: "Things in the world generally have two sides, and what people can usually see is often only the most superficial layer, while the deeper things can only be seen after a long time. Only then can you discover that you can’t see through it overnight, so Yu’er, you don’t have to feel superficial. Even a saint will have something that can blind his eyes.”

After saying that, he sighed again, thinking that he had received a secret report from Uncle Longkodo some time ago, and only then did he know that the Queen's mother committed suicide because someone deceived Sheng Cong, so that the Queen's mother was disheartened.However, he didn't just blame Huang Ama, because at that time Huang Ama was worrying about the frontier affairs, and he really didn't have time to take care of the harem, and he didn't expect that the harem affairs would involve the court affairs, so there was a sudden The time was negligent, so it is no wonder that Huang Ama stopped mentioning the matter of setting up a queen after the death of the queen mother, and the matter of the harem was temporarily handled by the queen mother until Yu'er entered the palace. On the one hand, Niang felt guilty, but on the other hand, because of Huang Ama's love for Huang Erniang, after Huang Erniang left, he didn't trust the concubines in the harem very much. The cause of Empress Empress' death, among the four concubines, apart from Concubine Rong, I am afraid that the other three cannot escape.Although the three who can be demoted are all demoted now, it is still difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart.Especially Concubine De, when he thought that she was not his biological mother, and was more likely to be one of the culprits that caused the emperor's suicide, and he had to greet her every day and call her mother, he was so disgusted that he wished he could Spit out all the intestines.

As if realizing what Yinzhen was thinking, Daiyu gently held Yinzhen's hand, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, it's rare to see such a beautiful scenery, don't think about what's there, why don't we go rowing?" ?" Yinzhen stared at Daiyu's pure eyes, and all the troubles in his heart disappeared, stroked Daiyu's head, and smiled fondly, "Okay."

So the two of them boarded the boat. In fact, it wasn't really a boat, it was just a flat boat.Originally Daiyu wanted to row by herself, but after two or three strokes, the boat not only didn't move forward, but turned around in place, so she had to bite her lip and handed the oars to the little girl who was rowing the boat, Yunxiang, while she herself Find a place to sit in the flat leaf.Seeing Daiyu's angry appearance, Yinzhen felt very funny, because he said: "Yu'er, if you really want to row this flat boat, you can only wait until you return to the capital and find two experienced drivers to take care of you." That's it, why be unhappy about such a small thing?"

Daiyu was dissatisfied when she heard this, and said, "Fourth brother, you know that you won't have a clean life when you go back to the capital tomorrow, and you still say these things to fool me?" I understand, thinking that Daiyu knew that as long as she went back to the capital, there would be a big disturbance, not to mention anything else, only that the Rongning Second Mansion would be the first one to be uprooted.It's just that in this way, it will inevitably affect the forces hidden behind the Rongning Second Mansion, and this force must not be underestimated. That's why Daiyu wants to stay outside for a while longer. Play something I haven't played before, because after returning to the capital, it will be difficult to have such leisure time.

Sitting in the cabin all the time, it was inevitable to be stuffy, so not long after, Daiyu said to Yunxiang: "You row the boat to the yard in front, we will rest for a while and then go back to have dinner." After watching for a while, she said with some embarrassment: "Miss Dai, I'm really sorry, the front is Leng Cuixuan where our aunt lives, but it's not easy to get close to." Yun Xiang naturally didn't know the true identities of Daiyu and Yinzhen Therefore, Daiyu and Yinzhen are not called "Princess" and "Baile".

Daiyu heard this, but she was a little puzzled, because she asked: "Why can't you get close easily? But your aunt is so fierce?" Yun Xiang asked, "Actually, I don't know too well, I only know that the aunt is She was retired by her husband's family, and she has been living in Leng Cuixuan since then, it is not clear whether she is fierce or not, and no one has ever seen her lose her temper, but she..." Speaking of this, Yunxiang carefully looked at Yin Zhen glanced at her and said: "My aunt looks like the fourth master, with a cold face all day long, so we servants dare not talk to her easily, even if the young master or miss sees her, we dare not speak loudly, for fear Make her angry."

Daiyu thought for a while, and then said: "It's okay, you just row the boat. If something happens, I will take care of it." Husband returned home, hurt herself, and because of her cold nature and reticent nature, the servants mistakenly thought that she had a bad temper and feared her. In fact, that Mrs. Yu should be a delicate and considerate servant. A good master is.

Seeing what Daiyu said, Yunxiang had no choice but to row the boat to Leng Cuixuan according to Daiyu's words.As soon as everyone landed on the shore, they faintly heard the sound of the zither wafting into their ears. When Yun Xiang heard the sound of the zither, she wondered in her heart: "The sound of the zither vaguely seemed to come from the rain-listening pavilion near the aunt's house, but there is The place where my aunt often goes, most people don't dare to approach, but who is there, still playing the piano there?" But in front of Yinzhen and Daiyu, although Yunxiang was surprised, she didn't dare to make a sound.

Daiyu was also curious about who was playing the piano there, so she confidently walked in the direction of the sound of the piano, and Yinzhen followed closely behind.But as she got closer and closer, the sound of the qin became louder and louder. Even though Daiyu had a deep understanding of rhythm, she didn't know who wrote this piece, so she naturally guessed that the qin player should play it according to her heart, not according to her heart. The composition of the music.At this moment, but hearing the sound of the qin suddenly turn down, the player who played the qin also sang:

A piece of machine, Chungui's daughter loves Yiyi, how much does Fu Jun know?One night of spring breeze, swallows fly and warblers cry, can you think of you for a while?

Two machines, when the chilling cicadas are sad and late, one leaf orchid boat complains about parting.In the winter of March [-]th, the snow flutters like catkins, when will you return?

Three cards, the spring blossoms are exhausted, and the autumn becomes reality, and it is Liu Yiyi again in a year.The new snow has just melted, the spring is good, and the best time is coming.

Four machines, mandarin ducks weaving just want to □□, the poor old man first white, blue waves and spring grass, deep in the dawn cold, relatively bathed in red clothes.

Daiyu frowned slightly after hearing this, and sighed softly, saying: "Although this song is good, it has deep grievances. I'm afraid it's not good, it's not good." Voice, said: "Who is there, eavesdropping is a gentleman's behavior!"

Because Daiyu and Yinzhen saw someone playing the piano, they just wanted to stay aside and listen quietly, and didn't want to disturb them, but they didn't want to forget that anyone who knows the rhythm has extremely sensitive ears, so although Daiyu just sighed There was a sound, but the man still noticed it, so he had to come out.Daiyu walked up to the girl playing the piano, saluted, and said: "My fourth brother and I passed by here, intending to take a rest, but it might as well disturb the girl's elegant mood, and I hope you will forgive me."

When the woman heard the words, she neither said any words of reprimand nor forgiveness, but said coldly: "I am Yu Rushi, the younger sister of the owner of Jianshan Villa. I don't know who you two are?" Shi Yunxiang said to the woman: "Madam, they are guests brought by Uncle Lin, one is Fourth Master Ai, and the other is Miss Lin." Yu Rushi nodded and said: "So you are the ones here today. In the morning, elder brother said that there will be a distinguished guest who will come to visit, so that’s how it is.” After speaking, she said to Yunxiang, “You should step back first.” “Yes.” Yunxiang glanced at Daiyu, saw Daiyu nodding, and also stepped back up.

Yu Rushi asked Daiyu, "It's not good for the girl to sigh twice just now. I think the girl must have a deep understanding of rhythm. I hope the girl can give me advice." Daiyu said, "I dare not take the word "advice." The good thing is that the girl is very good at playing the piano, and it must be the result of hard work day after day, year after year. There is endless sorrow and lingering meaning in the sound of the piano, it can be seen that the girl's heart has been damaged; the second is that the girl herself is well aware of this, but she still insists on going her own way, despises herself, and disappoints her father who gave her birth in this world Mother, isn't it extremely bad?"

After listening to Yu Rushi, Yin sighed: "It's not like there are people who have heard me play the piano, but if the girl has such a sharp insight into what I think in my heart, she has never encountered it." Rushi glanced at Daiyu and said, "Miss Lin, is she not surprised when she sees my appearance?" Daiyu said lightly, "I don't know why I am surprised." Said: "That's right, but judging by the girl's bearing, I heard that the girl must come from a rich family of poets and books. I think I must have seen too many men with three wives and four concubines, so I want to deal with the girl because of the huge age gap between brothers and sisters." I don't think it's different. It's just that I don't think like a girl. Although I look like I'm only in my twenties, I'm actually over forty or nine years old. It can be said that I am a young lady."

Seeing that Daiyu's face was still motionless, Yu Rushi said again: "Perhaps the girl must think that I used some kind of secret technique to keep myself in good health? It's actually not the case, from the time I was 20 to the present For more than ten years, my appearance has never changed, and it is for this reason that I was abandoned by my husband." Daiyu heard this and sighed: "Although I say that you are lustful, but the beauty is not old. In the eyes of the world, it is inevitable to be close to a demon, and I am afraid in my heart." I also understood in my heart, why this Yu Rushi has always treated people indifferently since she was abandoned and returned home, presumably she did not want people to find her body This secret, so as not to touch your own heartache.

Yu Rushi said: "That's exactly the case, but the girl understands it very well." After finishing speaking, she sighed again: "I used to be no different from ordinary people, but when I was 20 years old, I returned from my husband's house to my mother's house to visit relatives. I was very thirsty, so I went to a spring on the side of the road to drink water. Since then, I found that I would never grow old, and my husband and mother-in-law also thought I was a monster, so they abandoned me and returned to my mother’s house. Me, otherwise the world is so big, I am afraid there will be no room for me."

Daiyu was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know where the spring is?" Yu Rushi was not surprised when Daiyu asked, but she still replied, "In Longquan County Near Fengyang Mountain, but I have been there afterwards, but the spring water can no longer be found, as if everything is an illusion. I also asked the villagers there, and according to them, there has never been there What kind of spring water did you use?" Yu Rushi thought that Daiyu wanted to find the spring water so that she could stay young forever, so she sighed: "I said Miss Lin, listen to my advice, don't look for the spring water, and stay young forever It looks good, but in fact it is harmful, and my lonely and desolate appearance is the best evidence."

After hearing this, Daiyu smiled and said, "My sister has misunderstood, I was just curious for a while." However, having said that, Daiyu always felt a little hard to calm down, as if there was always a voice in her heart Urge her to go to Fengyang Mountain.Seeing that Daiyu no longer asked about the spring water, Yu Rushi naturally thought that Daiyu was just a little girl's momentary curiosity, so she didn't say anything, but asked Daiyu: "Miss Lin, did you just call me sister? "

Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother Lin Yi can be said to be my senior brother or my righteous brother, and brother Lin Yi and Master Yuzhuang are sworn brothers, so Master Yuzhuang also asked me to call him ' Big brother, my sister is Brother Yu's younger sister, and she is older than me, so she is naturally called elder sister." Yu Rushi laughed after hearing this, "So I will call you Sister Lin." Daiyu smiled , took a look at Yu Rushi, and said: "It turns out that my sister's smile is so charming, even I was dumbfounded."

Yu Rushi said angrily: "You are young, but you are very eccentric." After saying that, she said, "Sister Lin, it's getting dark very fast at this time, you'd better go back and have dinner quickly, otherwise the sky will be dark." It's dark, but the waterway is extremely difficult to walk, you don't want to sleep on that boat overnight." Daiyu said: "Unfortunately, I have to go back tomorrow, and I don't know when I will wait until I see you again, but if I get it Konger, I must come to see my sister." Daiyu said this, but it was nothing more than to comfort Yu Rushi, because she knew that Yu Rushi was actually a very lonely poor person.

And Yu Rushi also knew what Daiyu was thinking, and she felt warm in her heart. Although she only got along with Daiyu for such a short time, she fell in love with this fairy-like girl.Watching Daiyu follow Yinzhen board the boat, the leisurely zither sounded again, but this time, there was less loneliness in the zither sound.
