[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

Three years have passed without a dull day, and the years seem to flow like water.

It is early morning, the morning light is slightly smoky, and it rained last night, the empty official road seems to have been washed, accompanied by the green leaves on the side of the road, it does not have a clean and refreshing feeling.

There are three horses and three carts running on the official road, the chirping birdsong accompanied by the creaking of the carriage wheels, the ensemble is extremely harmonious, just like the artistic conception of the unity of heaven and man.

Sitting on the tall horse in the middle is a handsome and extraordinary man, wearing a robe with embroidered piping, the material hangs down, and even the folds on the saddle look free and easy, but there is only a plain folding fan on his waist , elegant and casual, noble but not tacky.

Suddenly, a well-shaped, clean hand like jade was half exposed between the curtains of the large carriage in the middle, accompanied by a slightly delicate voiceless voice: "Brother, I made a pot of tea, do you want to drink it?"

"My sister has a heart, but of course she's disrespectful." Lin Jifeng raised his eyebrows and smiled, pulling the reins and slowly walking to the side of the car. The curtain was half opened, and a silver bell-like laughter came out with a pair of pretty buns. Dai Yu's maid, Chunying, smiled and held a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Lin Jifeng: "Please, sir."

"En." Lin Jifeng tested the temperature, then poured it down in one gulp, returned the cup to Chunying, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile, "Thank you sister—and thank you little Chunying."

Chunying wanted to laugh when he saw the sea irrigation. Of course, Daiyu in the carriage rubbed her stomach and laughed: "Brother, how can you drink tea like this? You can't taste the sea irrigation when you drink it. It's in the stomach in one go!"

"Haha, your brother and I are just rough people. I don't pay much attention when I'm away from home!" Lin Jifeng laughed and looked at the road, "I can rush back to the capital this evening, and my sister can go back to the mansion and take a bath. Bones!"

Daiyu, who was hiding in the carriage, was already blushing, she scolded "nonsense" in a low voice, and said coquettishly, "Chunying, come back!"

"Miss, this servant wants to beat him up for you!" Chun Ying, who was squatting outside the carriage, rubbed her fists, frowned and stared at Lin Jifeng.

"Hey, I'm the head of the Lin family, and I'm the fifth-rank master of ceremonies at Honglu Temple. How dare you beat me up?" Lin Jifeng's eyes widened, and he acted like "what can I do?" "And, I'm not wrong, Our younger sister is a peerless beauty, with willow-like bones, a flower-like figure, and a water-like appearance. She is as beautiful as Chang'e who came down to earth, but she followed me from dawn to dusk and ran such a long distance. Shouldn't she go home and take care of herself? ?”

"The official didn't know how to break the law. You still talk about our young lady, so you really deserve to be beaten?" Chunying's eyebrows twitched in amusement.

"Chunying, come back!" Daiyu covered her hot face, raised her voice slightly, and called out again.

"Hmph!" Chunying slammed down the curtain unhappily, sat back beside Daiyu, and helped the young lady tidy up the tea set.

"His mouth will always be cleaned up!" Daiyu stretched out her onion-like fingers, carefully put a cup of hot fragrant tea in the three-layered food box next to it to warm, and deliberately raised her voice, "When we arrive in the capital, His duck mouth has to chew on wood again!"

Chewing wood——Lin Jifeng gnawed, gnawed, gnawed, gnawed, gnawed, and gnawed wood without a crack for three years, and so did Miss Qin.

Forced out of Daiyu's venomous tongue again, Lin Jifeng couldn't help being dumbfounded. After a long time, he coughed a few times, and rolled his eyes while sitting on the horseback: "My heart is like jade, but Qing's heart is like iron!"

Daiyu covered her mouth and giggled, she lowered her voice and whispered to Chunying, "I'll enter the city later, take this cup of tea to my brother, he's always talkative, his mouth must be dry when he enters the city."

"Miss, I understand." Chunying also replied in a low voice, her brows and eyes crooked with a smile.

The creaking sound of the carriage was still circulating regularly. Daiyu leaned on the comfortable cushion and pulled out her poetry book without opening it. A slight rustle.

"Miss, take this light." Chunying cleverly took out a glass ball, lit the wax, sealed it, and hung the ball under the car window.

Wang Momo is getting old, and Daiyu gave her a sum of money a year ago, letting her get out of slavery to take care of her.Nanny Wang was worried, and stayed in the Lin Mansion in the capital to help Nanny Kang with the housework.The four little girls I bought at the beginning also gradually grew up, and Chunying was the most clever. Therefore, in these years, most of Daiyu kept Chunying close by to serve her.

Reflecting the warm light of Liuliqiuer, Daiyu slowly opened the collection of poems, feeling a little emotional in her heart: It has been three years, her father's filial piety period has passed, and she is already 14 years old.

In the past three years, she didn't just stay in her hometown in Gusu behind closed doors. After the filial piety, her brother took her to many places, from the snow-capped Saibei to the rocky Yunnan, both for fun and for sacrifices.To commemorate the ancestors, family members, and friends who were buried in the family ruin seven years ago... Among them, Xu Ruxi, the biological mother of cousin Lin Rui and a former famous actress in the capital, was among them.

Xu Ruqian is a "low-class actor", but after Xiao Yibin's death, she firmly carried a family. She fled in disguise, went to the fields to grow food, and sold property. She taught everything that the eunuch Lin's family didn't understand, because Overworked, she died of a serious illness after only two years.When she was dying, Lin Suzhe promised to help her right with tears, but Xu Ruqian refused with a calm smile, because only Xiao Yibin was the mistress of the Lin family, and also a thorn in the Empress Dowager's heart that couldn't be removed.

Xu Ruqian was buried at sea, and they could only mourn silently in front of the blue waves.

Of course, there are many other stories that Lin Jifeng slowly told Daiyu in a very pleasant voice. When telling stories, Lin Jifeng rarely put away his cynical and playful appearance, his handsome face was slightly darkened, and his expression was restrained.

Gently flipping through the collection of poems, Daiyu smiled slightly as she looked at the two lines of sacrificial rites that she had made casually:

Roaming and swaying the wind to ask Tianlao, walking on Shasha, walking on the sea and knocking on Jieshi.

The three-pointed moon goes with the past, who laughs like a fool if you make a promise.

In her previous life, Lin Daiyu was imprisoned in the Yangzhou family house before the age of seven, and imprisoned in the Jia's mansion in the capital after the age of seven.

Shangguan Mountain in Yunnan, Xiaguan Wind, Cangshan Snow, Erhai Moon... I just read about it in books before, admired it, thought about it, and really appreciated it in this life.Of course, it can’t be said that it’s all admiration. She can clearly remember that under the beauty of the blooming flowers and brocade waves in Yunnan, there are poisonous spiders the size of fingernails and colorful poisonous snakes hissing and spitting... Daiyu still remembered that as soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw a huge ugly lizard lying next to her little buckskin boots. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she almost cried and got back into the carriage, hugging her knees and refusing to come out. However, my brother leaned forward and backward with laughter outside, and it took him a long time to hold back his tears to comfort himself, saying that his clothes had been smoked with medicine, and snakes, insects, rats and ants would avoid them—the lizard had been scared away just now ~

Thinking of Lin Jifeng's cruelty again, Daiyu couldn't help pouting, but she still felt grateful and resentful in her heart. She knew that her brother was helping her grow up in his own way. She thought that a woman would spend her whole life in the backyard and fight in the back house. , but her brother used the patriarch's private power to open up another world for her.

At least, now Lin Daiyu no longer thinks about the death of nothingness all the time.

However, now Lin Daiyu no longer cares about Baoyu's well-being all the time.

... Baoyu.Thinking of this name, Daiyu slowly flipped through the collection of poems, looking at the sad love poems written by herself in her previous life, she couldn't help but feel a little confused: the love that she thought would last until death really just goes with time... ...toned down?

In the past three years, she has been back to the capital several times, except for going home, most of the time she stayed with Aunt Roulan.I've seen Nongyue, Yunya, Yunnuo, Lan Yiqian... and even Zhen Hualian who is still hostile to her.However, she had never seen Baoyu; moreover, as time went by, her desire to see Baoyu became less intense.

——Does she still love Baoyu?

As dusk approached, the carriage slowly drove into the Lin Mansion. Daiyu was supported by Chun Ying, and carefully got out of the carriage. Nanny Kang and Madam Wang came over with wet wipes to wipe her hands, and hurriedly hugged her daughter back boudoir.

After Daiyu washed her face, rinsed her mouth, and ate a little something, Mother Kang came over with a few ledgers, spread them out, and told Daiyu slowly: "Girl, these are from the family's shop and property recently. The business situation, the rent has been paid on time. The house that was found during the Chinese New Year has been dispatched. Uncle Ji has found someone to solve it. I guarantee that they will not dare to return to Beijing for the rest of their lives. Also, Princess Nongyue’s birthday in February, According to your wishes, I sent that fine jade string over. The princess returned a few Song engraved color books and kept them in your study. Also, Miss Zhen has been asking when you will come back, so I asked everyone in the whole house to Keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense."

Daiyu nodded as she listened, and she couldn't help shaking her head when she heard that Zhen Hualian was determined not to let her go, and then looked at Mammy Kang gratefully: "Mommy, you have worked hard."

According to the law of this dynasty, after the bereavement, the virgins can inherit two-thirds of the family property, and the rest of the family property is managed by the patriarch.But after his father passed away, my brother asked Mother Kang to sort out the family's financial property and shops, and handed them all over to him; not only that, but my brother also allocated a lot of sacrificial land for him to manage, but if I am a girl, if I can manage so many?Fortunately, Mother Kang was there to help, so Daiyu didn't lose her sense of control.

"What are you talking about, girl?" Mother Kang was still serious, but her eyes were full of unconcealed love, "Even though Miss Zhen has been fighting with you, we still have to do enough to save face. Next month It's Miss Zhen's birthday, what would you like to give?"

"Well... just give me the white jade bracelet that I brought back from the west." Daiyu thought for a while, then smiled, "The bracelet is not expensive enough to be eye-catching, but the style is new and smart enough. It was saved up and won't be thrown away. face."

Mother Kang nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the girl has indeed improved a lot over the years, but—— Mother Kang's face became more serious: "Girl, you should know that during the Chinese New Year, the Supreme Emperor decreed to allow concubines to visit relatives. Your grandmother The family built a garden, but that garden..." Mother Kang hesitated to speak.

Daiyu bit her lip, and understood in her heart: The Grand View Garden is unparalleled in luxury, even sister Yuanchun thinks it is too extravagant - that garden is the ironclad evidence of the Jia family's corruption and bribery!

"Concubine Xian once said that it would not be good to leave such a big garden deserted, so she invited the girls from the Jia family to stay in - and the little son of the Jia family who was born with a jade..." Considering Daiyu's position It is inconvenient for Sister Kang to say anything about the defense of men and women, so she just vaguely mentioned it and got to the point, "It is said that the old Fengjun of the Jia family invited the children of his relatives to live there, and Miss Xue, the niece of the second wife's wife, lived there." After entering, there is also the eldest daughter of Master Shihou's family, and Zhen Yinglian, the daughter of Master Jia Yucun who has just been promoted to the general judge of Shuntian Mansion..."

Daiyu was stunned, he could understand Baochai and Xiangyun, but—who is Zhen Yinglian?

The author has something to say: my sister is filled with other beauties, beauties, and beautiful things, and the land belonging to Baoyu is getting smaller and smaller; compared with other Zhong Lin Yuxiu, Baoyu is really inconspicuous, so...
