The Double Soul of Red Mansions

Daiyu was still preoccupied with the matter of going through the gate, so the bearer had already carried the sedan chair into the gate at the west corner, walked another distance, and retreated when he was about to turn the corner.The women in the sedan chair at the back had already got off the sedan chair and came forward.Lin Daiyu lifted the left curtain corner of the sedan chair when she heard the sound, and happened to see that the person who had just lifted the sedan chair was replaced by four well-dressed young men of seventeen or eighteen years old, and then lifted the sedan chair again.Daiyu secretly complained to Li Mochou that there are so many rules in this mansion, so she is no longer interested in the outside situation.

When the sedan chair came to a stop, Daiyu knew that she had probably arrived at the place this time.When she saw the women drawing up the sedan chair curtains and bending over to invite her to take her first sedan chair, Daiyu strode out, supported the women's hands, and entered the Chuihua Gate.

Daiyu observed the layout of the hanging flower gate calmly. On both sides are hand corridors, and in the middle is a hallway. There is a large marble screen with red sandalwood shelves.

Daiyu knew at a glance that it was a high-quality product, and she believed even more what Zeng's mother said in her heart.Turning around the screen, three small halls come into view. Passing through the three halls, you can see the five upper rooms at the back, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings. On both sides, there are corridors and rooms with various colors of parrots, thrushes and other birds.On the platform, there were a few girls in red and green sitting. When they saw them coming, they hurriedly greeted them with smiles and said, "The old lady was still reading just now, and it happened to be here."

Daiyu just smiled, and didn't say much, the girl outside was obviously just saying polite words, and didn't expect Daiyu's answer.I saw three or four people scrambling to open the curtains, and they replied to the room: "Miss Lin is here."

As soon as Daiyu entered the room, she saw her silver-haired old mother welcoming her, thinking that this was her grandmother she had never seen before.Just as she was about to meet and salute, she might as well be embraced by her grandmother, mouthful of heart and soul, Lin Daiyu inexplicably felt cut off from this grandmother whom she had never met.It's just that Li Mochou, who lived in Lin Daiyu's body, became unhappy when her grandmother hugged her tighter and weeping.

"Yu'er, stay away from her." Li Mochou annoyed this kind of physical contact the most, especially when it was a weeping woman.

This sound made Lin Daiyu, who should have been a little sad, not sad at all. She pulled her arm out of Jiamu's arms, her face was still slightly red from being hugged and covered, and she said to Jiamu embarrassedly, "Grandmother, please don't worry." Sad, isn't Yu'er right in front of you."

Firstly, Jia's mother is a bit sentimental when she is old, and secondly, when she thinks of her blessed daughter, she can't help being sad when she sees Daiyu.When Daiyu said this, she hurriedly smiled and took Daiyu's hand, walked to her soft couch and said, "It's not Yu'er's reason. Now that you are in front of grandma, grandma is really happy. Yu'er followed Your mother is really sweet and sweet."

Speaking of her daughter, Jia's mother shed two more tears.Li Mochou was even more irritable, she simply floated out of Lin Daiyu's body and stood aside, she still didn't forget to say to Daiyu who was looking over, "It's really annoying, people have to die anyway, so what's the use of crying."

Daiyu is helpless, her master really deserves to be in the same line as that little dragon lady master-uncle after careful discussion, life and death are a big deal in the eyes of ordinary people, why is it so calm when it comes to their mouths?Daiyu knew Li Mochou well, knew that she had no malicious intentions, so she didn't care that what Li Mochou said just now was actually her dead mother.

"Yu'er, what are you looking at? That's your eldest aunt." Jiamu followed Daiyu's eyes, then smiled and patted Daiyu's hand and said, "It's because my grandmother was careless and didn't introduce you. Come on." , Grandmother will tell Yuer now."

Daiyu came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and thought to herself that thanks to the place where Master floated, there were people standing, otherwise how would she explain the fact that she was staring blankly at the air?

Following Jia's mother's introduction, Daiyu met her first aunt and second aunt one by one. When she saw the person behind her second aunt, Daiyu smiled and said, "What's the name of the grandmother?"

Jia's mother smiled and said, "That's your eldest brother Xianzhu's daughter-in-law, Li Wan, sister-in-law of Zhu's sister-in-law."

Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and thought, so this is the poor sister-in-law Zhu who lost her husband in her mother's mouth, but she didn't show her face, she smiled and saluted Li Wan.

"Quickly, go and invite the three girls. There are visitors from afar in the house today, so you don't need to go to school." Mother Jia told the girl and woman in the house, everyone should be busy, and two people went to spread the word.

But Daiyu's heart thumped because of Jiamu's call from afar, and there was not much left of the goodwill she had just born for Jiamu.Far away?Daiyu smiled ironically in her heart, she was still a guest after all.Forget it, stay for a while, and when daddy settles it down, I'd better go back to the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou to be the master.

Feeling unhappy, although Daiyu was dragged by Jiamu to ask for warmth, there was still a gap in the end, and she was able to cope with her speech, but in Jiamu's eyes, these were interpreted as a newcomer and a little unfamiliar.

Daiyu didn't wait here for a long time before she saw the curtain cage outside being raised again, and at a glance, she saw three girls about her own size surrounded by three nurses and six maids, coming forward to give the house a warm welcome. Mother Jia and the two wives greeted her.

Daiyu decided that she was a guest, so she took the initiative to stand up from Jiamu's side and said politely, "I heard from my mother at home that there are three sisters with my grandmother. I am very happy to see you today."

Li Mochou floated aside, she really couldn't listen to Daiyu's words of entertainment, the expression on her face was very strange.Although Daiyu saw it, she didn't pay attention to it, she was very familiar with that expression, she was just watching her having fun.

After the sisters got to know each other, they returned to their seats.The maids poured tea, and Mother Jia asked Lin Daiyu to talk about how Jia Min got sick, how she asked the doctor for medicine, how she went, and how she went to mourn, which made Daiyu cry for no reason.

"Among my children, the only one who loves your mother is the only one who loves your mother. She has left me, and she can't even see her face. How can she not be sad when she sees you today." He hugged Daiyu and started crying again.

Because Daiyu was saddened by Jiamu, she also held her handkerchief and wept and missed her mother.

Daiyu's second aunt, Mrs. Wang, was a little impatient when she saw the two crying on their own, but she didn't show it on her face, "Old ancestor, don't be sad, how is this niece?" It's easy, we should be happy, don't mention the sad thing."

When everyone saw Mrs. Wang's voice, they started to explain it to each other.Then Jia's mother started to laugh, who brought the topic to Daiyu, saying that her face was a little pale and timid, and whether she had any deficiencies, so Jia's mother began to hold Daiyu and ask for warmth again. .

"I have some from birth, and I have invited many famous doctors, but I have never been able to give an accurate answer, but it doesn't hinder me. I have prepared some ginseng Yangrong pills, and I will eat as I can." Daiyu didn't mention it because of her own lack. In the past, some scorpion-headed monk made her become a monk. Now that she has started practicing martial arts, she can feel that her body has improved a lot, so she just laughed off those things and didn't keep them in her heart. .

"That's just a coincidence. I just have pills here, so I need to make more medicines." Mother Jia said with a smile, patting Daiyu's hand.

Daiyu hastily declined, "For the time being, don't bother grandma, I have already prepared this pill, and I can't finish it in a short time."

Now that she started to practice martial arts, Li Mochou is a person who knows medicine and medicine, and now Li Mochou seldom let her take these pills.And she herself felt that there was nothing serious, so she let Li Mochou arrange it.

Just as Jia Mu was about to say something, she might as well listen to someone laughing in the backyard and say, "I'm late, and I haven't greeted guests from far away!"

Daiyu Nahan said: "All of these people hold their voices and hold their breath, they are so respectful and solemn, who is this person who is so rude?"

When I thought about it, I saw a group of daughters-in-law and maids surrounding a person coming in from the back door.This person is dressed differently from other girls, with brilliant color embroidery, like a concubine or fairy.

On the head is a golden silk bun with eight treasures and pearls, and the pearl hairpin is tied with the five phoenixes in the morning sun; on the neck is a red gold panchi (chi) necklace; The gold-threaded butterfly wears a narrow kèn jacket of bright red foreign satin with flowers, and is covered with a multicolored silk engraved stone green and silver mouse jacket; underneath it is a jadeite floral crepe skirt. Looking up and down, everything is exquisite.Although Daiyu didn't know the identity of the visitor, she knew that this person must have a high status in Jia's residence.

So Daiyu hurriedly got up to meet Daiyu, and Jia Mu introduced her to Daiyu with a smile: "You don't know her. She is a well-known rogue in our area. She is called 'Lazi' in the southern province. You just call him 'Feng Lazi'." ' That's it."

Daiyu secretly complained, "Lazi Lazi", this is the second time she has heard the word, the first time it was used by Chen Ruize, a second-hand man from the Duke of Qi's mansion, to describe her, and now it is used by Jia Mu to describe the person in front of her. Yu was a little curious, thinking of the same word to describe two people, it was fun.So he looked at the visitor carefully again.

A pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf hanging eyebrows, slender, coquettish physique, pink face with spring power but not revealing, red lips before smiling.

She is a nice beauty, but she is too ostentatious, and she is more suitable for the description of Lazi.I look like this, but it has nothing to do with this word.For no reason, Daiyu felt that there was a serious problem with Chen Ruize's aesthetics.

Daiyu stared at the man alone, and everyone thought he didn't know how to address him, so all the sisters hurriedly told her, "This is Lian's sister-in-law."

Daiyu hurriedly called her sister-in-law and said hello.In my heart, I combined this person with the information my mother had said.Wang Xifeng, the niece of the second aunt Wang's family, married Jia Lian, the son of her uncle Jia She, and was raised as a man since she was a child.Thinking in this way, and thinking of the flamboyant Chen Ruize, after comparing this, he felt that Wang Xifeng's actions just now were reasonable.

It can be said that Chen Ruize was shot while lying down. In Daiyu's heart, he has been reduced to be compared with the women in the boudoir.I have to say, this guy is too sad!
