The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

Ms. Lin has learned from her own experience, and her letter is like meeting her.

The willows on the street are green, but the king's news is long gone.Unless I repeat, you should promise.Every few hours, a message makes me know the king far and near the letter.If the child does not come, fortunately I will go.

I won't see you for a while, everything is safe and sound?Have an old disease?Relatives and harmony?Do you feel unhappy and weep?You and I are close, and everything in the world can be spoken to me. Although we are thousands of miles away from you, I am willing to do my best.

I am writing to you today, because I have something to tell you. I will leave Yangzhou for a study tour in a few days, and my whereabouts are uncertain. The elders at home have agreed.In the next two or three years, there will be no sound of the king, and sometimes there will be a letter with the king, and I hope you will comfort me a little bit.

With this in hand, Nian Jun Qing Ning Fu'an.

Mingxu was born on the second day of February.

Daiyu's hand holding the letter trembled slightly. It was the sixth letter in the past year, but she still couldn't get used to this man's style. He spoke and wrote according to his heart, without any scruples.It's really deliberately embarrassing.Thinking wildly about reading the letter, Daiyu folded the letter paper according to the original path, "Zicuckoo, you will still receive it in the box."

Zijuan got the order, took it, opened a purple box on the lower shelf of the bookshelf, and put it in. There were a few letters and some small things in it. It is not difficult to imagine that this letter came from the same person.Only then did Zijuan carefully lock the box, and before she got up, she heard her girl's voice probing, "Zijuan, the person who was sent by sister Ming to deliver the things has already left?"

Zijuan stood up, smiling slightly: "Not yet, I'm taking him to tea, if the girl has something to say or something, she can make it in time."

Daiyu was annoyed by her laughter, and she pretended to hit her, "Well, you Zicuckoo, you also came to tease me. You are proud today, but you don't want to think about it. When you say kiss, I will make it up for you."

Zijuan laughed even more happily, begging for mercy while laughing: "Good girl, please forgive me, if you don't dare, tell me what you have to do, the Ming family is still waiting."

Daiyu had no choice but to let her go first, and worry about it later, there are obviously more important things now, she pondered for a while, went around to the desk, and answered Mingxu's greetings one by one: everything is fine, nothing is wrong. If there is an illness, the sisters are in harmony.

When writing about whether she was sad or not, Daiyu paused for a moment, and a dot of ink landed on the white rice paper, fainting.She tore off this one, replaced it with a new one and wrote again: Life is like a latent cultivation, I have a superficial cultivation, and I will inevitably disturb myself. Fortunately, you gave me a gift, which gave me some comfort.

This sentence refers to Mingxu often asking Minglai to send some fresh and interesting books, most of them are travel notes and essays, and there are also essays describing folklore and folklore. Without exception, they are books with a smell of fireworks. Daiyu can relieve boredom, look outside, there are many beautiful and interesting people and things in the world, and everyone in the world is lovely.Don't worry too much about the people and affairs of the Jia family.

Daiyu knew what he was thinking, and when she felt wronged and unhappy, she had to think a little more about whether it was worth crying over this matter, and whether anyone cared.I don't know what I want, whether it will make people read the joke for nothing, and use it as a joke.

After finishing writing one by one, I gently added a sentence at the end: Listening to the rain by the window, thinking about your journey.

With only a few words, Daiyu took the scissors and cut it out from the whole paper, sprinkled some face powder on it, set it aside to dry, paused for a while, then turned to the inner room again, and put the paper under the pillow. The hair tie was taken out and folded carefully, and a dark blue purse that had been made a long time ago was found in the embroidery basket, which was also an embroidery pattern of a koi.

He came out with two things, and the words on the paper had dried, so he folded and folded the simple flower paper and stuffed it into his purse.

"Zijuan, you have found something to pack these two things, and send them to Sister Ming." Daiyu ordered, and she was already calm.

Watching Zicuckoo find a suitable box, wrap it up, and take it out.Daiyu sat alone on the embroidery bed in a daze.

It seems that I heard from my father that Mingxu was born in April, that is, he is less than thirteen, and at such a young age, he wants to go out to study, and the grandparents of the Ming family agree, so isn't he afraid that he will have someone wrong outside? Okay.

The more Daiyu thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, she didn't know at what age boys started to go out, but seeing Baoyu's behavior was not acceptable, Mingxu was only two years older than him, so going away should not be easy.Daiyu regretted not mentioning more in her reply.

But the elders of the Ming family agreed, and the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is not something that can be saved with a little persuasion. It is not yet known whether this letter of mine can catch up with him.He had no choice but to comfort himself, Mingxu said that he would send letters from time to time, so he could get a glimpse of it.

The Ming family is naturally also afraid that something will happen to their child. Since receiving the news, the Song family has been more worried than Daiyu.

"Brother Xu is still so young. He has only been in the academy for a year, and he will get used to it, so he is in a hurry to go out to study. I have never heard of this saying. You haven't been to this Laoshi school, so you should be good. He passed the exam and became an official." As she spoke, Song bumped her husband with her elbow.

Today is not the day of the court meeting. Ming Su had breakfast at home and was told by Mrs. Song. He pushed the bowl and chopsticks helplessly: "Madam, since you received Brother Xu's letter last night, there is no such thing as saying this sentence." It has been done hundreds of times, take a bath today, let me live in peace for a while."

Seeing that Ming Su not only refused to answer, but also complained and quarreled with him here, Song became angry all of a sudden: "Okay, okay, you An Sheng, if you think I'm uneasy here, go somewhere else. She cried and said she was not feeling well, and asked the master to take a look. She finally became pregnant, and she was precious. Go and see her, and it happens that both of you are safe.

As she spoke, Song covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and said in a sobbing voice, "I just have pity on my Xu'er, not to mention that she is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and now I have to go out by myself, and there is no one to ask me. As my own mother, I can't say a word, it's annoying for no reason."

Seeing that it is rare for a wife to lose his composure, Ming Su lost his usual dignity, and suddenly felt a little guilty, complaining that he was not soft enough to speak, it is always inevitable for women to be flustered about their children, he was harsh, and then he would be soft when he spoke again. He made a sentence: "What are you talking about, you and I are husband and wife, what to do with Liu Shi, if you think she is unruly, you can set up a stand for her and teach her if you can't teach her, it's fine, a small family If you come out, you will inevitably lose your attitude, and it is worth taking it to your heart."

After finishing talking about the concubine, Ming Su continued Song's last sentence: "Don't cry, let the servants see what he looks like, and don't say that I just ask him. My dear father has a lot of worries in his heart." You get half points, but my father always has a sense of proportion, and my brother will also go out to practice when he grows up."

He paused, as if a little embarrassed, "I really haven't gone out to study, but it's not because Xu'er is talented. My father said that the child is more talented than me, so naturally he can't treat him like me. My father has made this arrangement." I must think that Xu'er will make a difference in the future, so it's good to have some training."

Seeing him belittling himself, Song turned from crying to laughing: "You talk about this in front of Xu'er?"

"How can you say this in front of the children." Ming Su also laughed, and could only talk about it in front of his wife, how could he say it in front of the children.If I really said that, it wouldn't make him turn upside down.

Seeing Mingsu subdued, Song didn't care about him.Mingxu's letter came in a hurry, and he didn't ask anyone to make preparations. Mrs. Song was busy packing up some light and practical things and sent them, and wrote a few more papers of instructions, be careful in everything you say, don't trust people easily, and don't use food indiscriminately ...

Don't dare to delay when it's over, let people ask the eldest sister if there is anything to give, and send it together.

On the appointed day, Ming Xu led his horse to the ferry, Qing Rong was already waiting there, saw him coming, jumped off the carriage, looked Ming Xu over, smiled and said: "It's better than I thought." easier."

Mingxu was a little embarrassed, knowing what he was talking about, he came out this time in a light car, his luggage was some change of clothes and toilet utensils, some teacups and bowls, and he brought two, this is still with him The result of grandma's battle of wits and courage.

As expected, his grandmother didn't agree with his study tour plan at all, saying that the child was too reckless and thought out as soon as he thought about it, but he didn't know how dangerous it was outside.Mingxu had no choice but to tell his grandfather about his future plans, and after he convinced his grandfather, he would then convince his grandmother.

Sure enough, the grandfather was much better at strategy than the grandmother, and he agreed easily after he promised to take care of his own safety. Mingxu didn't know how the grandfather explained to the grandmother, anyway, the final result was that the grandmother agreed although she was very reluctant. It's just that she asked to meet the head of Qing Rongqing, Ming Xu had to pass it on to his elder brother Qing, and then elder brother Qing managed to gain Sun's trust.

But as for taking a few people out, Mingxu has to tell Sun himself, he even used a little trick in his heart, he only wanted to take Chang'an with him, but when he talked to his grandmother, he said that he would take no one with him, I have to go alone.Sure enough, as he expected, Mrs. Sun did not agree with him alone, so under Mrs. Sun's rhetoric, he "reluctantly" agreed to take Chang'an.

If he had said to bring Chang'an from the beginning, then grandma would definitely put Changchun in as well. He was going to travel, not go out for an outing, okay, but what he didn't expect was to pass the level of grandma. Before leaving, grandpa gave someone. But it cannot be refused.

It is difficult to change the things that his grandfather has decided, and Kuang Mingxu doesn't want to disobey his grandfather. Ten years of experience told him that his grandfather is always right.

It is also worth mentioning that just the day before, he received a letter from the capital. It was almost true of the mother's care and the little girl's heart. Warm things always make people happy.The corners of Ming Xu's lips hooked slightly, and he unconsciously shook the purse around his waist.

Qing Rong was two people, counting the young coachman in front of the carriage.According to his words, it is a bit lonely to walk outside alone. This coachman has known him since childhood.

The two exchanged a few words and set off directly. Young people are not very particular about ecliptic and black ways, so they took a map and chose a direction to go.
