[Red House] Li Changan

The wind in summer nights is much gentler than that in daytime, and even the ripples on the water surface have a touch of tenderness, but it's a pity that the bustle in the front yard woke up the sleeping frogs on the lotus leaves.

The person sitting by the pool wearing a autumn coat heard the "plop" of the frog entering the water, and the corners of his slightly curled mouth could not help but rise, and a rare smile appeared in his eyes this day.

Sitting here and watching the frogs count is more interesting than being judged by others in the front yard. How did I not know that there is such a place here that can put her heart that has nowhere to go.

This small corner is Daiyu's secret, and only Zijuan and Xueyan know that when they usually hide from Jia Baoyu and the others, they will come quietly from behind the Xiaoxiang Pavilion along a bamboo forest path surrounded by towering green bamboos and peaches. Trees cover it, if you don’t come here, you can’t see that there is such a place here.

Daiyu once thought that if she couldn't get out of Rongguo Mansion for a lifetime, she would put her heart here and give herself a breathing space.

"thump--"

Another sound of entering the water woke up Daiyu, who was still thinking about the past, she couldn't help opening her eyes and staring at the place just now, but there was no black shadow of a frog swimming under the circle of ripples.

Hey, it wasn't a frog, but she accidentally kicked a stone down?

The wind and cold was good yesterday, so the Jia family hurriedly pushed her in front of others. Among those who accompanied the Li family tonight, she seemed to be a vase for people to watch. I can't guess how much I want.

With great difficulty, he left the banquet on the pretext that his body had not yet recovered, but Jia Baoyu blocked his way again. After a while of entanglement, Zijuan and Xueyan helped him get away and return to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

After such a toss, how Daiyu was able to sleep was all because of the incident in the front hall just now.

People in the Li family seem to be easy to get along with, their parents are loving, courteous, brother and sister-in-law are harmonious, their harps are harmonious, and their words are full of politeness and sincerity.

Although what he said was not as good as the people in Jia's mansion, everyone could understand that it was the words of the bright people.

It's a pity, I don't know how Li Changan is compared to his elder brother, I only heard that he is a fun-loving one, let alone the second Jia Baoyu, then she can't bear it.

"Plop plop-"

Daiyu stared at the surface of the water in surprise, subconsciously bit her lip, frowned suddenly and raised her head to look at the hidden rock. There was a black shadow group there, so frightened that Daiyu quickly retracted her feet, covered it with her skirt, and quickly He grabbed a piece of bamboo and held it in his hand.

"Shh."

A hoarse voice sounded, and the black shadow jumped off the rock and landed firmly beside Daiyu.

Daiyu swallowed unconsciously, then shrank back a little, and before she could speak, she heard a chuckle in the dark night, the voice was much clearer than before.

"Thank you girl for showing the way the day before yesterday."

The day before?

Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, then remembered something, breathed a sigh of relief, threw the bamboo in her hand aside, stroked her chest, and calmed down her nervous heart.

She thought it was a thief in the mansion, but it turned out to be someone who got lost that day.

"You...you turn around first."

Li Changan originally wanted to pull the people on the ground up, but before he could stretch out his hand, he heard Daiyu's voice as thin as a mosquito with her head buried, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, and only reacted when she saw a pair of shoes next to her out of the corner of her eye. come over.

He touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and turned his back: "It's wrong to disturb the girl's interest."

When Daiyu heard this, she wished she could find a hole in the ground and go in. What is it called, that someone saw her playing in the water, and if word got out, she didn't know what to say.

This person is also strange, lost his way the day before yesterday, why is he still lost today?No matter how big the Rongguo Mansion is, it is not possible to get lost here.

Patting the debris on the skirt, Daiyu straightened her waist and said in a low voice, "Are you new to the house?"

"Next is... the nursing home of the Li family. I wandered around with nothing to do. Who knew that when I came here, I heard a noise and subconsciously thought that there was a thief. That's why—" Li Changan paused and turned towards him when he said this. Daiyu made a bow: "I'm bothering the girl."

Daiyu chuckled, feeling that the person in front of her was a little interesting.

It's clearly a nursing home, but it behaves like a son-in-law. Even the nursing home of the Li family is like this. It's the opposite of the Grand View Garden. Look at the maids in the Grand View Garden, each of whom regards himself as the master.

"What is the girl laughing at?"

"Ah?" Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "You are the nursing home of the Li family, why are you not in the front hall, come here? You have gone too far to relax .”

"I saw the trees growing well the day before yesterday. It happened that there was a wedding going on in the house. I wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of trees were planted. I thought about planting some in my son's yard when I went back."

Li Changan stared at Daiyu, paying attention to the movements around him, worried that his rash actions would cause trouble for Daiyu. After all, no matter what the reason was, a girl who was waiting to meet a man at night would always be speculated.

When Daiyu left in the front hall just now, he followed closely behind, avoiding the maidservant in the garden, searched left and right for a while but still could not see anyone, just as he was about to go back, he heard movement here, and found Daiyu hiding here .

Taking a quick glance the day before yesterday, I felt that Daiyu was just like her name, a person with the texture of black jade.

Hearing Li Chang'an's words, Daiyu's thoughts moved, she wanted to ask but she didn't dare, but through the moonlight, Daiyu saw the face of the person in front of her, which was sharper than that day, and the corners of her eyes and brows were all sharp.

Then... what kind of person is Second Young Master Li?

"Your son?" Daiyu tentatively said, "I, I just asked casually."

Seeing Daiyu's probing expression, compared with the routine and lifeless appearance in the front hall just now, it is inexplicably much more vivid, even the eyes of a pair of autumn water pupils make the moonlight a little brighter.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, Li Changan took a step back to avoid embarrassment for Daiyu.

"My son is a strange person, with his own peculiarities, not good but not bad."

"That--"

When Daiyu heard this, she felt even more strange, curiosity was scratching her heart like a feather, she was about to raise her head to ask, but she didn't see the person just now, not even the place where the person stood just now.

I looked around with my probe, but I couldn't see the other party, only the full moon in the lotus pond was disturbed by the ripples swaying in circles.

A black shadow under the trembling lotus leaves slowly disappeared and dived into the water.

Could it be that she was dreaming just now?

"Girl, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

The sudden sound frightened Daiyu, she looked at Zicuckoo behind her in a trance, and then glanced behind her, only the shadow of shaking leaves, no one at all.

How is it possible, it was clearly someone's just now!

Frowning slightly annoyed, Daiyu glanced at Zicuckoo: "You—did anyone see you when you came?"

"Never, to avoid people coming." After Zijuan finished speaking, she stretched out her hand towards Daiyu: "It's cold at night, girl, you should stop playing in the water here. If you get sick tomorrow, it will delay things."

Hearing this, Daiyu nodded, knowing that she was going to send the Li family members away tomorrow, so she really shouldn't delay.

Now that the wedding date has been fixed, she is already considered a member of the Li family, and there is only one step left to get married. In the future, she will really have nothing to do with the Jia family. Life and death are the affairs of the Li family.

Not long after the two of them returned to the Xiaoxiang Hall, Daiyu had just laid down and was still asleep when she heard a commotion outside the door, as if someone was making trouble, and it sounded very loud.

Xueyan hurriedly fastened the door, and turned to look at Daiyu on the bed: "Girl, please rest, don't come out."

"It's Baoyu?" Daiyu felt helpless because she couldn't recognize Jia Baoyu's voice.

Jia Baoyu committed a crime, who else in the house can stop him?Whenever there was a disturbance, everyone in Jia's house was not at peace, and everyone suffered accordingly.

In the past, she let Jia Baoyu make noises, but now hearing this kind of enthusiasm, it is clear that she wants to make her last days in Jia's mansion uneasy.

"Help me get my clothes."

"Girl!" Xueyan was in a hurry: "Zicuckoo and Mama Wang are blocking you outside, I'm afraid you will be bullied by her again if you go, why bother asking for boredom."

Daiyu raised her eyes to look at Xueyan, she remained silent, after such a stalemate for a while, Xueyan couldn't persist, so she could only put on the clothes for Daiyu with red eyes.

The noise outside the door was already turned upside down, even people from other yards came.

If this continues, the guests in the side room must be alarmed.

"Second brother, you're having fun with sister Lin right now, but you'll be happy in the future. How can sister Lin deal with herself? People from the Li family are still sleeping there. After a while, listen to the movement and come over, you -"

"Baoyu, listen to me, I'll be back soon."

"What are you doing in a daze, how many people can't hold Baoyu! I'm an idiot every day!"

Several people pulled Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu drank the wine, and without knowing where the strength came from, he broke free from the restraints of Baochai, Tanchun and the maidservants around him, and ran directly to the door of the room.

Zicuckoo at the door stretched out her hand to block it, but was knocked away and fell to the side, her palm was scratched on the stone, opening a hole.

"You are so cruel that you don't even want me anymore. You want to go back to Suzhou, Yangzhou, and take me with you. I will follow you wherever you go. If you don't want to stay here, then I will Not staying anymore!" Jia Baoyu smelt of alcohol, knocking on the door: "Open the door to see me, you—"

Hearing this, Baochai was already embarrassed, so she had to look away and refused to look.

Xiren saw Mrs. Wang rushing outside the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to Raja Baoyu, just about to speak to persuade, when the closed door opened, everyone froze.

Looking around the crowd, Daiyu only felt embarrassment on the face, but only sadness in her heart.

This farce after another is the biggest joke in Rongguo Mansion.

"Today's wedding date has been set and the engagement has been made. Even though the marriage has not yet been done, the ceremony has already been given and the wife's letter has been given. If the second elder brother does this, will I be hanged in the room or will I go to Li's house to be disgusted?"

"you--"

Mrs. Wang was about to speak, but she was held back by Aunt Xue beside her. The two sisters looked at each other, and Aunt Xue shook her head.

Daiyu took a deep breath, feeling dizzy, but resisted looking at Jia Baoyu who was in a daze in front of her, smiled lightly, and then handed the lamp in her hand to Xiren.

"It's hard to walk at night, it's easier to walk with a lamp."

Xiren was startled, this was a gift from Jia Baoyu to Daiyu, and it was a rare item, very rare in the capital, it is still here now, could it be——

Without waiting for others to understand, Daiyu grabbed Xueyan's hand tightly, glanced at Zijuan who got up from the ground, and nodded to her.

"Erlang of the Li family, Li Chang'an—" Daiyu didn't know what Li Chang'an looked like, but now she just felt that he was a dandy, but he was also the benefactor who rescued her from this prison.

"Li Chang'an is the one I would like to marry."

The author has something to say: Li Changan: My ears are a little hot
