[Red House] Li Changan

"Snapped--!"

In the main hall, the sudden sound silenced the noisy crowd, they all looked at each other, and looked up at the old lady Jia who was sitting next to Jia Zheng.

The honor of the Rongguo Mansion I was all due to the protection of the ancestors, but now the children and grandchildren are quarreling in the hall because of a trivial matter.

Daiyu sat at the end, pinching the silk in her hands, her expression remained unchanged, seeing the commotion in front of her seemed like a joke.

It was clearly a major event in her life, but she was never asked what she meant. She was clearly the granddaughter of the Lin family, but she didn't even know about Gusu, and the Jia family arranged for her to go.

Now that the matter has come to an end, she has put on a play in front of her, pushing the matter back and forth, wishing to find out one person and pin everything on him.

The jokes that I didn't want to read before, but now I understand all the jokes. The entire Jia family is really a good show, and each one is more exciting than the other.

Mrs. Jia glanced at the audience and looked at Daiyu: "Girl Lin, come to me."

Daiyu, who was concentrating on the expressions of the people in the hall, was taken aback when she heard this at first, then she nodded and got up and walked to the old lady Jia.

The old lady Jia took Daiyu's hand with a loving face, just like when Daiyu first returned to Jia's mansion, but unfortunately Daiyu was no longer what she was before, seeing such an expression, the waves in her heart were just like a broken heart. It was like throwing a stone into the vast ocean, and gradually there was a little splash.

"Grandmother." Daiyu called out obediently, and Daiyu stood beside Mrs. Jia with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes pleasing to the eye.

"Since you got sick, your body has stabilized a lot. When I saw you like this, it was like seeing your mother. Alas, you are very much like your mother." Old lady Jia sighed heavily: " If you don't want to, then go back to that family, it's just for me to apologize, and they will probably sell my old face to save face."

Back to that family?

Daiyu thought about this sentence carefully, but she heard some things that were not mentioned in the dispute just now.

Was this marriage arranged earlier?Who decided?

She has no parents alive for a long time, and she has been in Jia's house for almost ten years, why she has an extra marriage on her body for no reason, I am afraid that even her deceased parents will be surprised, when did she make a marriage for her daughter? .

"Mother, this matter has been settled. The Li family's parents have brought the eldest son and his wife here, and they will soon arrive at home. They came all the way for Lin girl. You sent her back on the spot, didn't you-- "

Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Jia Zheng stopped her with a glance, so she could only look at Aunt Xue, mother and daughter sitting opposite, and shook her head.

Jia Zheng glanced at the old lady Jia, then at Daiyu, and sighed, "Mother, the Li family is coming soon, and before the ceremony and the wife's letter, there is still room for maneuver. Let them stay in the house." Stay for two more days, let Daiyu think about it, and let us see how this family is doing."

"What do you think, Miss Lin? If you don't want to—"

Daiyu looked up at Jia Zheng, and couldn't tell whether the uncle wanted to help him or was delaying time.

When she was young, she had also been close to this uncle, because Jia Zheng was indeed different from other people, different from the people in Jia's mansion. Apart from being too harsh and pedantic, he was also a bit of a literati and refined. tolerance.

But after all, this is Jia's mansion, and Jia Zheng is not the master of the house.

Jia Zheng is a mediocre official, so naturally he doesn't want to deal with the female relatives at home, abides by the rules, and puts filial piety first, and obeys the old lady Jia in everything.

I can't help but think of what I said to Zijuan yesterday, and want to gamble again.

Since it's a gamble, then you might as well go all out, it's better than continuing to struggle in Jia's mansion, whether you win or lose, you can't follow the old path of your previous life.

Slightly nodded and smiled at Jia Zheng, with firm and decisive eyes, looked at the old lady Jia with a smile, ignored the attention of everyone in the hall, and said softly: "When I was with my parents, they always said that one must keep promises in life, Since I am their daughter, I should be like them."

What Jia Baoyu said in her previous life was never fulfilled, but she never broke her promise to him and shed tears for the rest of her life. Now, it's time to stop.

Someone in the hall gasped and almost stood up from the chair, but was forcibly held down by the people around him.Some people showed satisfied smiles and shared a knowing smile with others, but they were also like Jia Zheng, who stayed where they were.

But Daiyu didn't mind the people who had different reactions, and continued: "Grandmother, Daiyu is lucky to have been taken care of by you, uncle, aunt, and sisters and brothers for many years. Besides, now she is going to Yangzhou and then back to her hometown. It is also much more convenient to pay respects to parents.”

When Mrs. Jia heard the words, she just sighed for a long time.

"Zicuckoo, help the girl go back to rest."

Zijuan quickly responded and helped Daiyu go out. When they passed by Wang Xifeng, they saw Jia Lian and his wife, who were whispering softly, raised their heads at the same time and smiled at them.

Walking out of the main hall and on the way to the Grand View Garden, Daiyu looked tired, which made Zijuan feel distressed.

"Good girl, why do you—"

"Father used to be the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou, and died of illness there. Even if he was buried in Gusu and entered the ancestral hall, it will be my home after all."

The Lin family in Gusu only occupies a small area in Daiyu's memory, but the Lin family in Yangzhou has some memories. When she was young, her mother hugged her to play in the courtyard, and her father came back from the Yamen and lifted her up...

What's more, the sky is full of the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. Even if you live in another place, you can see different scenery. You have to change the sky to see it.

Smiling at Zicuckoo: "You just promised me yesterday, listen to me, why did you go back on it today, you are like this, when I got married, how could I tell the old lady that I wanted you."

"I'm going to go with you, girl. Wherever you go, I will go. This Jia's mansion is away from Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Where can I go?" Zijuan was anxious when she heard this: "The old lady will definitely let me I followed you."

Daiyu was about to speak when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind, she couldn't help turning around to look, sighed helplessly in her heart, and patted the back of Zijuan's hand to signal her not to worry.

Li Wan came forward first, with an anxious face, as if he had a lot to say to Daiyu, but when he saw Daiyu, he didn't know where to start.

She has been in Jia's house for many years, how could she not know the meaning of what the old lady Jia said, how could she really refuse, she was just forcing Daiyu to make a decision and handing over the difficult problem to Daiyu.

He stepped forward and took Daiyu's hand, and said distressedly: "You really agreed like that? If Mr. Li's family is unreliable, you will—"

"Xiao'er, why are you bothering?"

"No, sister Lin, you—"

Li Wan, Baochai, and Tanchun talked to each other, making Daiyu dumbfounded. Her marriage could never be rejected anyway. It would be better for her to make it more beautiful by herself, so as not to let Jia's family people read the joke.

Although the magistrate of Yangzhou is not the capital city, he is also a parent official.

Daiyu waited for the three of them to finish speaking before she spoke, "I know what you guys think, but it was my grandmother and uncle who lived here all these years because my parents were away and I was young, so they took care of me in every possible way. But now, I have I'm afraid I will be criticized if I stay in the mansion when I grow up."

The implication was that her surname was not Jia after all, and that she was involved with everyone in the Jia family only because of her mother Jia Min. Now that she was old, it was not suitable for her to stay in Jia's house.

The former relationship, in a word, was wiped clean.

Just like after waking up three years ago, she had no more intimacy with Jia Baoyu, and made a decision in person overnight, even though she understood better than anyone else that the feeling of love was deeply rooted and difficult to extricate herself from.

But after all, she was just embarking on the same old path of repeating the same mistakes, and she was powerless to entangle her anymore, she only wished to spend her life safely.

"You really think so?"

"En." Daiyu's eyes were bright, there was no sign of avoidance, and she looked at the three frankly, "You go back first, since I have to go, I have to settle the affairs of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you. "

Having said so much, the other three couldn't say anything, they could only nod their heads and watch Daiyu leave.

Daiyu didn't bother to ask how the Jia manor was busy entertaining guests from afar, only Xueyan and Zijuan accompanied her, and the three of them got together to count the things in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion over the years.

With their heads huddled together, Daiyu saw the snow geese and the purple cuckoo playing, and she felt more at ease.

In fact, I didn't have any worries when I went to Li's house. Xueyan and Zijuan were by my side, which was also very good.

"Second master, second master! You can't go in, the girl is resting, you, you don't go to you!"

Just thinking about how to make arrangements to make life easier after going to Yangzhou, before she could think about it, she heard Mama Wang's voice, Daiyu sat up straight and looked towards the door, quite helpless.

It turned out that Jia Baoyu had left school. It seemed that he had heard about the Li family.

"Second Master Bao!" Zijuan stepped forward and was about to stop Jia Baoyu, but was pushed aside by Jia Baoyu, his complexion changed, and he immediately winked at Xueyan.

Jia Baoyu is a capricious person, since he was a young star, now that he hears about this, he may be ill. If he becomes crazy again, it will be Daiyu who will suffer.

Who knows that Xueyan was about to stand in front of Daiyu when she was pulled back by Daiyu. Daiyu got up from the chair and looked at Jia Baoyu who was stunned: "I know you have something to ask me. Shall I go outside for a walk?"

"Okay!" After Jia Baoyu agreed, he pulled Daiyu out, the anger on his face was still there, and he walked out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion not long after, but there was no one there.

Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other and sighed softly—what should I do?

Wang Mama looked at the two of them, a little anxious: "The people from the Li family have arrived, and the master is walking around the garden with him, don't miss the girl and the second master, you, you hurry up and follow!"

"What! People from the Li family are visiting the garden?"

The Grand View Garden has long been used to Jia Baoyu's freedom to come and go. Jia Zheng reminded her, and Mrs. Wang also checked it once, but Jia Baoyu relied on Mrs. Jia's pampering, so she never avoided taboos.

But the people outside the Rongguo Mansion are different. The women who have not left the cabinet are so close to the men. If they talk about it, they will be wronged for no reason.

Zijuan has been serving Mrs. Jia since she was a child, and she has been watching her nose and nose, how can she not know these things, and after hearing what Mama Wang said, she chased her out anxiously.

"This place is really big enough. If you turn around and stay for a while, you won't be able to find anyone."

The unfamiliar man stood on the stone path, muttering to himself.

I took a look at the lotus in the lotus pond, looked around with a smile, but didn't see a servant girl passing by, turned around and saw that the flowers and leaves spread out on the ground, blocking the soft soil, and couldn't help but yelled. □Sit under a tree crisply.

Leaning against the tree, the person who just closed his eyes and planned to take a rest, heard a dispute before falling asleep, and opened his eyes to look curiously.

"You really think so? Do you even ignore me? You—how can you agree, you know that I treat you differently, if grandma and mother force you, I will tell them!"

"Baoyu, no one has ever forced me to do anything. If you tell me, you are forcing me."

"The person you should like is me. You have been with me for many years. Those, those days are gone? Are you still angry? Angry at me for playing with Sister Bao? As long as you answer me, then in the future I will I don't have any contact with her—"

Jia Baoyu remembered stretching out his hand to pull Daiyu, but Daiyu backed away, and before he could make another move, a noise came from beside him, interrupting his movement.

"Ahh-!"

Daiyu's face turned pale for an instant, and she looked stiffly at the direction of the sound—the memories of her previous life emerged, and those gossips echoed in her ears again.

"Sorry, I didn't intend to eavesdrop on the two of you. It's just that the garden is too big and I got separated from my family. If you don't want to disturb me, could you please tell me the way out of the garden."

Daiyu came back to her senses when she heard the sound, took a step back, and after a quick glance at the man, she breathed a sigh of relief. It would be nice if she wasn't from Jia's mansion, but with such a face, could it be that she just came here?

Jia Baoyu seemed to have not recovered from his surprise, and ignored the man.

Daiyu had no choice but to say: "You go straight along this road, and you will be able to leave the garden."

"Thank you girl for showing the way."

Seeing Daiyu, the man lowered his head again, nodded and smiled, and took two steps to look back at Jia Baoyu who was standing there, raising his eyebrows slightly: "I see that this girl doesn't want to talk to you, so don't make things difficult for me, my lord." girl."

Daiyu raised her head in surprise, but saw a touch of blue shirt hidden at the end of the stone path, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
