The Guardian Jade of a Dream of Red Mansions

Qiushui was supported by mandarin ducks, and Qu Lan and Luo Er followed behind.Yuanyang smiled and said: "The old lady asked someone to pass the message to Miss Lin when she got the news. Miss Lin was so happy. The girl also walked slowly, because she got sunstroke in such a hot day." Qiu Shui nodded, but her footsteps did not change.After a while, I arrived at the first hall. How could Daiyu sit down after receiving the letter? She refused to listen to people's advice and insisted on waiting at the gate of the courtyard.Whoever dared to hide from the heat in the courtyard waited with him.Daiyu saw Qiushui and rushed to meet him.Qiu Shui here also let go of Yuanyang's hand, and stepped forward quickly.Daiyu grabbed Qiushui's hand, and tears fell down immediately.Qiu Shui was also crying, choked up and speechless.All the people present sighed and shed tears when they saw it.After a while, Mother Zhao came forward to persuade her: "You two girls, don't stand under the sun anymore, everything is ready in the house, go in and drink some water first. The eldest girl is back, we I haven't seen it before." Seeing that Zijuan Qulan helped Daiyu Qiushui in, Mother Zhao called Yuanyang in, and Yuanyang said with a smile: "These sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, it's time for them to talk, so I won't bother you. .” Zhao Nanny nodded and asked the little girl to send the mandarin ducks back.Yuanyang waved his hands and left by himself.

Qiushui just pulled Daiyu to sit down, and Daiyu threw herself into Qiushui's arms, crying and unable to speak.Qiu Shui also put his arms around Daiyu's shoulders, patted Daiyu's back, and coaxed her with red eyes.After a while, Daiyu stopped her tears and calmed down by leaning on Qiushui's shoulder.The people outside heard it, and came in with water and handkerchiefs to wait for Daiyu Qiushui to freshen up.After Qiu Shui washed up, she took off the outer clothes she had been wearing to meet guests, and took off her hairpin before sitting down again.After Zijuan served tea, he led the people back down.Qiushui took Daiyu's hand and looked at her carefully, and asked, "Have you bothered? Don't lie to me." Daiyu took a sip of tea before she could speak, and said, "It's a little bit, but it's bearable. Don't just ask me, sister. Me, the poison can be cured? You will come back this time, won’t you leave?” Qiu Shui brushed her hair for her and said, “It’s all right now. I will always be with you, don’t be afraid. Do you blame me for not Come back sooner?" Daiyu shook her head, and replied, "I'm just worried, I never complained." Qiushui smiled and said, "I know you can handle it, so I dare to come back later. I only heard about you from my second sister-in-law. Even if I'm not here, you can do it." Daiyu hurriedly covered Qiushui's hand and said, "I don't have any ability. If I leave my sister, I can't do it. Don't listen to the second sister-in-law's nonsense." Qiu Shui hurriedly comforted her, and said, "Yes, yes, I will always be by your side to protect you, don't worry." Daiyu felt better after hearing this, and said, "I also heard the second sister-in-law talk about my sister. I know that my sister I had such a good time, I thought it would be fine if I didn’t come back. When Uncle Lin went to Beijing and my sister picked me up, we would go back to Suzhou together. At our own home, I didn’t say anything about marriage. I just went with my sister, and Lin was outside. Uncle and Brother Linjiang...Just thinking about it like this makes me very happy. But how did the old lady let her go, and my sister has a good marriage..." Daiyu finally didn't say anything I cried when I finished speaking.Qiu Shui supported her shoulders, wiped her tears and said: "Don't be sad," he choked up before finishing speaking, and said: "If the master passed away that year, we would not come to Beijing..."

Daiyu shook her head, shed her tears and said: "I said something stupid, my sister didn't stop me and said it to me. If she didn't go to Beijing, how could my sister meet Brother Xue's family. Although this matter is quite tortuous, it is also worth it. It’s not good to blame Brother Xue. He is sincere, and it’s rare that my sister likes it. Few people in the world can meet such a good thing.” Qiu Shui blushed and was speechless.Daiyu leaned on Qiushui with a smile and said: "When my sister was away, Sister Bao sent several boxes of earthen instruments from Suzhou. Although every sister has them, I alone got the most. Sister Bao whispered to me when she sent them It was Xue's brother who went to Ping'an Prefecture to check the accounts. When he came back, Tete went to Suzhou to buy them. These boxes were specially selected by him. My sister was away, so I opened the boxes. One of them was big, and there were some ordinary boxes on it. Yes, just put your head down...Sister, guess?" Qiushui pushed her with a smile, and said, "Is it possible to eat or not?" Daiyu also smiled when she thought about it, and said, "My sister guessed wrong. How many are there?" This good post, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, some excellent Suzhou embroidery, a jade carving of water lilies, and a cookbook are things that my sister likes." Then he got up to get them, and after handing them to Qiushui, he said, "I didn't read them. Sister, take a look." Qiu Shui took it, and said with a smile, "It's just an ordinary recipe, but you are paranoid." He flipped it for her while talking.Daiyu was startled and said: "It's really a cookbook. How can I give this away? I was afraid that the mother would find out, so I hid it secretly." Qiu Shui rolled up the book and knocked on her, saying: "You are too, he is not How can such an ignorant person send a message secretly?" Daiyu said with a shy face, "I'm the one who got the trick." Qiu Shui nodded her head and said, "I'm afraid he just got a new good cook in Suzhou. Ask someone to write a recipe and pass it in, so that we can try it too." Seeing Daiyu covering her face with a veil, Qiu Shui tore it off and said, "Don't be ashamed, I won't talk about you. You can return those things. Do you like it?" Daiyu took off the handkerchief and said, "How could I not like it? Although these things used to be common, they are rare now. Brother Xue is careful." Qiu Shui put his arms around Daiyu and said, "If you want to go back Now, we can go back." Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Is it for daddy?" Qiushui nodded and said, "Exactly, Uncle Lin has already mentioned it, and the old lady will respond to both affection and etiquette." Daiyu thought I can't tell my sorrows and joys, I just hold Qiushui.Qiu Shui put his arms around her and sat with her.

Later, Daiyu went out with Qiushui to meet Lin Yu.Through the curtain, Lin Yu saluted the two girls and said, "I have made an appointment with the old lady to leave on the sixth day of June. The old lady still sent the second master Lian to protect the girl back. The two girls are staying in Jia's residence first. , When that day came, I would personally bring someone to pick them up. I asked someone to send those things to the garden.” Daiyu then replied, “Thank you, Uncle Lin.” Lin Yu leaned over and said, “I just hope Everything is fine, girl." Dai Yuhong nodded and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry too much, let's sit down and have a conversation." Lin Yu then sat down and asked Daiyu carefully how she was doing all these years.It wasn't until Jia's mother set up a meal that she said it was to catch the wind for Qiushui, and Qiushui asked Uncle Lin to go back first.

The next day, all the sisters in the garden and Baoyu came to see Qiushui.Only Baochai didn't come because he moved out.Baoyu has not seen Qiushui for a long time, and seeing that all the sisters are very happy, he proposes to start a poetry club again.Daiyu hurriedly stopped her and said, "My sister is just recovering from a serious illness and still needs to be cared for. Let me let us go first, and I will be the host in a while, how about inviting everyone to play?" Everyone said yes, and said again Baoyu said a few words.Baoyu bowed in front of Qiushui and said with a smile, "It's because I didn't think carefully. Don't take offense, sister." Qiushui moved away and went away with a smile.Baoyu couldn't figure it out from Zhang Er, so she wanted to ask Daiyu, but Daiyu held Qiushui's hand and talked to Zhao Mama.As soon as Baoyu saw Mother Zhao, she lost interest and turned to talk to other sisters and make fun of her.Later, Baoyu thought that she didn't talk to Daiyu Qiushui very much, and kept looking for opportunities, but she didn't know that Zhao Mammy followed Qiushui and Daiyu all the time, never leaving her.Finally, seeing that Qiu Shui was tired, everyone left.

Qiushui and Daiyu sat down to drink tea, and said to Mammy Zhao, "It's hard work, mammy, let's go down and rest first." Mammy Zhao withdrew.Qiushui looked at Daiyu's face, and then said, "Baoyu is very afraid of Mother Zhao. It's not easy for me to meet him now, but he still lives in the garden." Daiyu replied, "The concubine Yuan agreed Yes, he doesn't want to go out, who dares to tell him to move out. Every time I come back, Zhao Mama invites me out, and every time she threatens to go back to the old lady. But Mammy is not wrong, and the old lady dare not change my person " Qiu Shui nodded, and said: "Don't invite me in next time, anyway, I have a ready-made reason." Daiyu nodded and replied, "It's all up to my sister." Qiu Shui was also happy to see her so calm.Daiyu didn't know what Qiushui was thinking, so she just smiled at her.
