Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

When Daiyu was in Jia's mansion, she only joked with the Sanchun sisters, and refused to leave one more step.On the contrary, Baochai came to her more and more frequently, smiling like a pot of fire every day, and Daiyu couldn't be cold-faced when she saw her being intimate. Not to mention hateful.Aunt Xue also came to visit her, with a loving face, and often joked that she would be adopted as a goddaughter.Daiyu just responded, naturally she would not agree.With Daiyu's cleverness, she naturally knew what Xue's family was thinking, and they also knew it was difficult to ask, but they didn't really ask for anything.However, Hongyan said that she was afraid that Daiyu would not be able to escape their noise when the actual draft was held next year. No wonder I fought back.

Every time Baoyu went to Daiyu's room to play jokes with her, and when he got something good, he would give it to Daiyu first, which made Daiyu helpless and troubled.Naturally, she never wanted anything from Baoyu, nor did she show him a good face, but Baoyu was fascinated by the evil and was so tired of being by her side that she often broke up unhappy.Fortunately, Baoyu behaved a little better, always looking like she wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close, and didn't dare to be as casual as she was with other girls, so there was no big conflict like last time.Seeing that they were no longer quarreling so much, Mother Jia secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking that the two of them had a good impression of each other.Mrs. Wang looked at her with hatred, annoyance and fear, so she complained to Aunt Xue from time to time.

Daiyu has only lived for three or four days and still returns to her home. Every day she is at home, reading or doing some female celebrity, and she is contented.Shui Rong would run to her as soon as he was free, to relieve her boredom, and the two got along more and more harmoniously as time went by.

Occasionally, people from Jia's Mansion and Beijing Prince's Mansion would send people to pick her up, but Daiyu would push them away if she could, and just stayed at home to study and observe the rules.

Time flies, the west wind withers the green trees, and the north wind suddenly rises.Daiyu woke up early this morning and saw the clear light coming from the glass window. She couldn't help saying "ah" and said to herself, "it's too late."

Snow Goose lifted the thick curtain and came in with a smile, saying, "It's too late. It snowed outside in the middle of the night yesterday, and it was reflected by the snow."

Daiyu said joyfully, "Really?" She put on her coat and ran to the window to lift the window drawer. Looking out from the glass window, she saw that the sky and the earth were covered in plain silver, which was really touching.She grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and she rarely saw such heavy snow, but now she saw it, and her eyes were filled with joy.

Xueyan said angrily, "Girl, dress warmly, be careful you're freezing." As she spoke, she helped Daiyu dress and wash.After eating for a while, Daiyu said to go for a stroll in the garden, and said that she wanted to play in the snow, and Xueyan Chunxian would wait for her.Daiyu couldn't help it, so she had to beg: "My dear sisters, you can see that I am much better after taking the imperial doctor's medicine, and I will not be so delicate anymore. .”

The girls saw how pitiful she said, and that they were also fun, so they said: It's okay to go shopping, but it's absolutely not allowed to play in the snow.Daiyu changed into a Shanghai blue-collar satin lapel with a moon white sapphire blue bamboo leaf print, a white pleated skirt, and a light blue moiré-trimmed suede cloak. inside.At this time, all the flowers are gone, the dead branches are bare, and the snow on the branches covers the haggard and lonely winter, so there is a desolate and clear attitude.A cold fragrance brushed the nostrils, but there were several red plums like rouge, in full swing, reflecting the color of the snow, which looked particularly energetic.Daiyu took a deep breath, and there was a faint cold fragrance in the clear air, which was refreshing and refreshing.

Xueyan smiled and said: "You can't see the heavy snow in Jiangnan like this, but we can do it if the girl can't play with snow. Why don't we build a snowman for the girl." Chunxian clapped her hands and called a few little girls to sit under the plum tree together. A naive big snowman was built.Xueyan went to the kitchen and took two water chestnuts to make eyes, a carrot to make a nose, and a bamboo hat to put on the snowman's head. Several girls laughed around for a long time, Xueyan laughed and said: "We should put it on again." Put a coir raincoat on it, put a fishing rod on it, and look like a fat fisherman." Daiyu saw it interestingly, although she couldn't participate in it, her eyes were full of smiles.

Hongyan smiled and said: "Look at these few are getting more and more mischievous, look at how cold their hands are, be careful tomorrow they will be swollen but you will cry, why don't you hurry and go to the house to warm up."

Xueyan smiled and said: "I have such a good snowman, even if my hands are cold tomorrow, I will be content. Hmph, I can also excuse not to work and let you take care of me."

Chunxian laughed and said, "When did your hoof become lazy, Amitabha, I know your true nature. It turns out that you are a little lazy bug with lazy tendons in your body."

Xueyan stomped her feet and said, "You're broken too, you're used to playing tricks on people, will I spare you today?" She said, stepping on the snow and chasing after her.

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Two sisters, don't run away, and watch the junior slip."

Xueyan proudly said: "It's okay, we will do light work."

Hongyan spat lightly and said with a contemptuous smile: "You guys are talking about your kung fu, although it is indeed better than mine, but you haven't reached the realm of stepping on the snow without a trace."

While playing around, a little girl came in and said with a smile, "Girl, the King of Beijing is here."

There was a faint warm color flowing between Daiyu's brows, and she said with a smile, "Brother Rong, please come over."

Shui Rong was wearing a water-blue cloud-brocade cotton robe and a white fox fur cloak today, and walked into the garden with a fresh snowy look.Daiyu laughed and said, "Why didn't brother Rong go to court today?"

Shui Rong said: "Today, the emperor is suffering from a bit of wind and cold, and the court was canceled early. I have nothing to do at home, thinking that it snowed last night, the scenery outside must be good, so I want to take you out to have fun." And said: " You can also play, this snowman is interesting."

Daiyu's eyes lit up, her brows lightly raised, her dimples suddenly appeared, she became more and more beautiful and tactful, she smiled and said: "Can I really go out? That's great, Brother Rong is better, just now I begged Xueyan and the others for a long time before they let me go. I'm coming to the garden."

Shui Rong showed a faint smile, and said, "Why not, just dress warmer."

Daiyu became more and more happy, but after thinking about it, she felt depressed again: "This is in the capital city, it's not good for me to go out as a girl. I went out once when I first arrived in the capital city, but I was worried about it for a long time."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, I'm here with you. Those ladies in Beijing don't have so many rules. Ah, of course, except your grandmother's house, their house is overkill." Daiyu couldn't help laughing when he teased her, and she was encouraged again stand up.

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu's clothes and said: "You are wearing warm clothes, but the cloak is average. I gave you an eagle-feather cloak as a gift from my concubine mother. After a while, you can put it on, and it will be light and warm. Daiyu He nodded in response, and when he went back to the room to look, he saw a cloak woven with snow-white eagle feathers, the tentacles were soft and delicate, very elegant, and he liked it very much.

Sitting on the canopy Zhulun carriage, Daiyu asked curiously: "Brother Rong, where are we going?" Shui Rong narrowed his eyes, with a mysterious smile on his lips: "You will know when you arrive, there is definitely a place like this." A place like a painting." Daiyu was aroused by him, she gritted her teeth lightly and muttered in a low voice: "Mystery, hmph, I'm about to open my eyes." Think to your heart's content.

The car moved slowly, rolling on the snow and making a light and pleasant sound, and Daiyu couldn't help falling asleep following the clear and shallow rhythm.I don't know how long it took before I heard Shui Rong's clear voice and said with a slight smile: "Dai'er wake up, here we are." Dai Yu was in a daze, she hurriedly opened her sleepy eyes when she heard the voice, and said with a light smile, "I'm here." Actually fell asleep, but became more and more lazy."

Shui Rong smiled, and personally helped Daiyu get off the car.As soon as Daiyu came down, she smelled an elegant and cold fragrance blowing towards her face, she raised her eyes and unconsciously held her breath.

The sky is blue, the sun is clear and cold, and the distant mountains are faint like Dai.A nearby plum grove is like a sea of ​​fragrant snow, red like clouds, white like flowing clouds, full of beauty, with unique posture, reflecting the ice and snow on the branches and underground, there is also a kind of arrogance and awe.From time to time, the sound of birds singing earnestly adds to the serenity and tranquility.

After a long time, Daiyu sighed softly: "It's so beautiful, I can't describe it." She was looking at the flowers, but Shui Rong was looking at her, listening to her, showing a touch of relief, and said with a smile: "Let's go in and have a look." .”

Daiyu nodded, and walked into the Merlin side by side with Shui Rong.The delicate fragrance flows slowly in the air, and Daiyu's heart is peaceful and peaceful as she walks through it.Walking to the foot of a white plum, he suddenly stopped, looked back and said in surprise: "Brother Rong, there is actually a 'Baiye Xiangmei' here."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "As expected, you are well-informed, few people can recognize it, so you are its bosom friend."

Daiyu was a little proud, and the corner of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc: "If I hadn't seen its flower buds, I would have been deceived. I only saw records in Fan Chengda's "Mei Pu" before, but I never saw it. Really, I didn’t expect it to exist here. What the hell is this place?”

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Hehe, this is a separate garden in our palace." He couldn't help showing a somewhat funny expression when he said that, "Mother and concubine love plum blossoms the most, and I heard the old man in the palace say that this other garden is the king's father. It was specially built in order to pursue the concubine, so there are so many cherished varieties."

Daiyu sighed again and again, and said with a smile: "I can't see that Uncle Shui has such patience."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Who made it so that the mother and concubine already had someone she liked at that time, my father and king naturally had to work hard, listening to the stories told by the old people about the two of them seemed very interesting, but it's a pity that they didn't tell me the details. Heh heh, it must be because the father, mother and concubine are afraid of embarrassment."

Daiyu couldn't help smiling when she thought of the concubine, she was as beautiful as a winter plum in the snow, and she was really curious about what kind of story her still beautiful and hearty aunt told, maybe it was also a turbulent legend.

Shui Rong said: "I'll break a branch for you and let's go back and put it in a bottle."

Daiyu shook her head and smiled lightly: "No, I can't bear to see it open so well, it's better to let it open and fall of its own accord, it is not open to seduce people, why should we force it to be seductive?" Things."

Ripples rippled in Shui Rong's heart, moved by Daiyu's kind heart and clever thinking.At this time, the breeze blows and the broken snow falls like flowers, Yiren stands gracefully amidst the colorful fine snow and flowers, her bright eyes are bright and her face is as clear as jade, she seems proud and independent from the world, but that indifferent smile makes Shui Rong feel at ease for no reason, the person in front of her Perhaps it is really the spirit of plum blossoms, so we can truly understand the arrogance of plum blossoms.

Seeing that Shui Rong stayed there after she finished speaking, Daiyu felt strange, raised her little hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and shouted: "Brother Rong, what are you looking at?"

Shui Rong let out a blush, and said with a smile: "What are you looking at there? I just thought about what you said and thought it was good, so I couldn't help thinking about it for a while. If the concubine mother is here, she will definitely attract you as a confidant, and the concubine mother will definitely make you a confidant." Said so, so they are only allowed to grow as they please, and have never been pruned."

Daiyu smiled and said: "I mean, I wonder why there is a goose in front of me in the blink of an eye." After saying that, she covered her lips with a very naughty expression.

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Dai'er is a coincidence, let's be a dumb goose, if it really makes you happy, why don't I be a dumb goose."

Daiyu was sweet in her heart, but spat lightly on her mouth, and said with a smile in her sweet voice: "When did Brother Rong become so thick-skinned and his mouth became obedient, really disgusting."

After chatting and laughing for a while, Shui Rong saw that Daiyu's face was flushed red by the wind, and hurriedly said: "Let's go sit in the room, the wind is still quite cold, be careful not to freeze."

The two of them walked through the plum forest, and in front of them were several exquisite and small rooms. The rooms were warm and fragrant, and there were all kinds of smoked cage tea sets. It was obvious that Shui Rong had ordered someone to take care of them.The two sat on the smoked cage and talked. Xueyan brewed tea to dissolve the water in the morning. Because Daiyu didn't drink tea, Xueyan made her a cup of honey red date tea.

Daiyu smiled and said to Xueyan Chunxian: "The two sisters also sit down and have a warm meeting."

Xueyan laughed and said, "Girl, sit down, we can go outside to watch the stove, it's not cold there." She smiled and walked away.

Shui Rongyin said: "It's already the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, what are Dai'er's plans for the New Year, the concubine mother means to pick you up."

Daiyu shook her head lightly, bowed her head in silence for a while and said, "New Year's is different from Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that I'm in Xiaozhong, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. Even if Jia's grandmother comes to pick me up, I can't go."

Shui Rong sighed softly, knowing but also disappointed: "I thought you wouldn't go, but I'm still a little disappointed after hearing what you said. I might not be so free in the coming years, and Dai'er would be lonely at home alone." clear."

Daiyu looked at the teacup on the table with a pale face, without saying a word, but her heart became sad and felt a little sour.

Shui Rong felt the sentimental breath flowing around Daiyu, quickly put Daiyu's little hand together, and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, Dai'er, I will give you a gift when the time comes, and the concubine's red envelope is also indispensable. of."

Daiyu knew that Shui Rong was relieving her heart, so she spat lightly and said, "Am I so shallow-sighted? You underestimate people too." She was a little curious about Shui Rong's gift, but she didn't expect him to say anything. It started with a little anticipation.

It wasn't until evening that Shui Rong sent Daiyu back to the Lin Mansion, and after a long time of entreating her, she reluctantly left.Daiyu watched his aqua-blue back drifting away in a daze, until finally he was engulfed in a vast expanse of snow.
