Indulgence in the Red Chamber

Hong Hui has been high fever, groggy all day long, talking nonsense.

Xuanning came to see him every day, but Yinzhen couldn't hold on anymore. After finishing his funeral, he secretly came to the Guiyun Branch of Linji Inn one night and only stayed for half an hour. When he left, he held Xuan Ning's hand firmly, without saying a word.

It's not good for Xuan Ning to stare at here every day, so as not to make people suspicious, the child's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he is too young to withstand the medicine of tigers and wolves.I had to give him acupuncture and moxibustion every day, and slowly recuperate him with mild Chinese medicine. After more than ten days, he recovered slowly.

Hong Hui's body gradually recovered, and Xuan Ning had more energy.Knowing that Kangxi had driven back to Beijing, he could no longer remain silent.

One night, Xuan Ning disappeared.Yinzhen sent people to look for him and couldn't find him, and everyone in the Lin family didn't know where he went.

Early the next morning, Suo'etu's two sons died suddenly without warning.Wu did an autopsy and the medical officer did a careful inspection, but nothing suspicious was found.In the end, they used the reason of sudden illness as a prevarication, and took the bodies of the two out and threw them into the mass grave.

Suo'etu was exhausted.The original self-restraint also disappeared after the death of his son.

But things didn't end there.

The men of the Suo family died one after another in prison.One or two died every few days, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes suddenly in broad daylight, and the cause could not be found.Even if there were people around the deceased before he died, he would not be able to detect anything wrong.The deceased had different symptoms before dying. Some died suddenly with a loud cry, while others convulsed and died after a long time.Some foamed at the mouth as if they were poisoned, but when they went to the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment, they found that it was not poisoning.

Horror slowly infiltrated the entire prison.

Death is present all the time.

The dead became happy, and the living lived in fear all day long, not knowing that at the next moment, the dead would be themselves.

The prison guards gradually regarded the Suo family as plague gods, and none of them wanted to approach them.It will not give them a good face.Prison food was bad at first, and then I didn't even have to eat rotten food.

The one who never died was Suoetu.

No matter how many ups and downs the old man has gone through, he can't bear such blows again and again.

After Kangxi returned to Beijing, when he asked about this person, his subordinates reported: Suo'etu, the sinner, was on the verge of death, and he only breathed a sigh of relief.

After Daiyu returned to Beijing, she didn't have time to see Xuanning, so she asked someone to prepare a carriage and go to Sibeile Mansion to see Jinyu immediately.

After more than two months of torture, Jinyu has become so thin that she lost her shape.The sickly man closed his eyes on the couch and rested his mind. Looking carefully on his snow-white face, he could still see blue and purple blood vessels, and his whole body was lifeless. Daiyu felt colic in her heart when she saw it.Sitting gently beside her, grabbed her hand, and called out: "Sister. I'm back."

Jinyu slowly opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him clearly. His weak fingers suddenly came together and held Daiyu's hand. After a long time, he shed tears and said with a sob: "Sister, you are finally back."

"Why is sister so sick? Fourth master is busy all day, but doesn't take sister seriously?" Daiyu said dissatisfied.Naturally, she had guessed Xuanning's letter to herself, guessed that Honghui was not dead.I just can't figure out why they have to partner up and wait for Jinyu. As a mother, how can she bear such a cruel fact?

"The fourth master comes here every day, but I don't give him a good face. After a long time, he doesn't want to come." Jinyu smiled bitterly, with tears in the corners of his face and eyes, which made people feel more distressed than crying.

"Sister, why bother with yourself? I saw that my sister was weak, so I must have been out of this door for a long time. The weather outside is very good today, and the weather is not so hot in the late summer and early autumn. Why don't my sister and I live in the garden for a few days?" How about today? Let’s talk together as sisters, I’m afraid my sister will get better soon.” Daiyu held Jinyu’s hand and softly persuaded her.

"I'm not going. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just wait here for my Hui'er to come back. If I go out, he will be anxious if he can't find me when he comes back." Jinyu shook her head repeatedly, her gaze was determined beyond doubt.

"Silly sister. Why did he come back when you didn't go out to look for him? Maybe—this kid is naughty and forgot the way home?" Daiyu gritted her teeth, knowing that it would be useless to persuade her, so she had to follow her.

"Really?" Jinyu's eyes suddenly became brighter, and she looked at Daiyu fixedly.

"What did my sister say? Have I ever lied to my sister? At the beginning, my sister said that Xuan Ning must be dead, but you all said he was dead. But if I said he was not dead, didn't he come back?" Daiyu looked sincerely Jinyu hoped to use her gaze to dissolve the cloud in her heart.

"That's right!" Jinyu suddenly squeezed Daiyu's hand, and said eagerly: "My good sister, tell me quickly, Hui'er is not dead. He will come back soon, tell me quickly..."

Because of the urgent tone, Jinyu couldn't breathe for a while, and then coughed violently.The girl next to her hurried over with a spittoon, but saw Jinyu cough violently twice, and then spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Oh! This is not good!" Xinghua turned pale with fright.

"What are you panicking about?!" Daiyu scolded angrily, "Go get a cup of warm tea and wash Fujin's mouth!"

There was also a little girl with quick hands and quick eyes, who hurriedly brought water to Daiyu.Daiyu persuaded softly: "Sister, do you feel better? Drink some water and rinse."

The blood that Jinyu vomited just now was more than half of the phlegm covered in blood.Now that I vomited it out, I really felt much happier in my heart.After drinking water and rinsing her mouth, she panted and leaned on the couch again, took Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister, I don't believe anyone else's words. I only believe you. You said that Hui'er was lost and forgot to go home I believe in you. If I go out with you, maybe I can meet that child and bring him back. "

When the maids nearby heard her talking like this, they all thought it was her yearning for her son, and they babbled nonsense for a while, so naturally no one took it seriously.However, she hadn't left the house for many days, so it was a good thing that she was willing to go for a walk at this time.Daiyu even agreed a hundred times, hurriedly ordered people to go back to Yinzhen, and asked the maids to pack up her belongings, and was going to take her back to live in Yuanmingyuan.

Yinzhen listened and did not stop him.He only ordered Jinyu's servants to take good care of her, and then asked someone to prepare a car and sent her to go with Daiyu.

At that time, when Jinyu left, the Li family and the others in the family were secretly happy, and they each had their own wishful thinking, desperately trying to please Yinzhen, thinking that one day they would be able to win his favor and stand on a high branch.

Helpless, Yinzhen always treats each other with cold eyes, and is upset when he sees everyone.The women gradually calmed down after eating enough cold reprimands.This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

In addition, Jinyu followed Daiyu into the garden, and will raise her for a few days. Daiyu will personally mediate the decoction, and Xuanning will treat her.After five or six days, the situation improved a lot.

After watching her fall asleep that day, Daiyu and Xuanning came out of Liuyunju, where Jinyu lived, and walked slowly among the osmanthus trees.

"How long are you going to keep it from her? How is the child doing now? You and Fourth Master are really calm." Daiyu gave Xuanning a reproachful look, with a bit of complaint in her eyes.

"It's not that I concealed it on purpose. It's that the child has completely forgotten the original things at this moment. Even if I met her, I don't know her. Wouldn't it make her more sad?" Xuan Ning sighed helplessly.Honghui was a child who had suffered a serious blow, had a high fever for a long time, and suffered from amnesia.This is Xuanning's helplessness, and it is Yinzhen's heart disease.So the two of them have been keeping Jinyu's secrets to themselves, and they haven't even seen Daiyu these days since she came back.

"There is such injustice in the world. The mother and son have done good deeds on weekdays. The child has been kind since he was a child. Although he is naughty, he treats the servants around him very well. When he goes out to play occasionally, it is inevitable that the money will be distributed to the poor. Everyone said that he was a kind child, and he would have a long life in the future, who would have thought it would be like this? God is not fair!" Daiyu said, crying again.But he stopped in a daze, staring at the green and thick leaves on the osmanthus tree in a daze.

"God is indeed unfair. But fate cannot be controlled by God. Yu'er, we must learn to take the initiative, take the initiative to attack, and take the initiative to control our destiny. Hold our future in our own hands and never obey God's arrangements "Xuan Ning reached out and took Daiyu into his arms, and said in a low voice, as if taking an oath.

"Can we do it?" Daiyu asked wistfully, leaning on her warm embrace.

"Believe me, as long as you are willing to believe, I can do it." Xuan Ning hugged her tightly and said firmly.

"Then you have to cure your sister's illness first."

"Well. Her illness is mainly heart disease. Wait for her to take care of her for a few more days, and her body will be better. I will take the two of you out for a stroll. The autumn colors in the mountains are better than those in the city. The air is also fresh. Going for a walk is good for you. Her body is recovering." Xuan Ning smiled meaningfully.

Daiyu was taken aback, and immediately asked happily: "Are you willing to take us to see that child?"

"I'll see you sooner or later. You can't keep it a secret."

"Great!" Daiyu happily stretched out her arms and climbed up Xuanning's neck, "It should have been a long time ago for them to meet! Even if the child forgot the original thing, my sister has not. I think, as long as She must be very happy to see that the child is still alive and healthy."

"Silly girl, why do I think you are happier than Fujin? How deep is the relationship between you and that guy? I remember that kid kept calling you sister!" Xuan Ning was absent-minded for a while, and asked with some jealousy.

"You're talking nonsense again! He's just a child!" Daiyu blushed, spat and pushed Xuanning away and turned around.

"Yu'er." Xuan Ning hugged her from behind, and after a long time, he sighed and murmured, "I also really want a child."

Daiyu became more and more shy, but she just lowered her head and remained silent.

Xuan Ning suddenly laughed.What happened to me when I was thinking to myself, anyway, I am also a person who has received higher education in the 21st century, so why would I want to let a 14-year-old female doll give birth to my child?Didn't you live and go back?

Daiyu didn't know why Xuanning was laughing, and couldn't hold back her face, so she suddenly pushed his arm away and lifted the corner of her skirt and ran away briskly.She has a light figure and a moon-white dress flutters with the wind, disappearing among the green osmanthus trees like a cute white rabbit.

Early autumn season.The weather in the north is relatively dry. Looking around, the sky is as clear as a wash, and the wind is light and the clouds are light.

Two large four-wheeled carriages were pulled by four horses, and they slowly left the south city gate and headed for the suburbs.When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw the carriage, they knew that it was the princes and nobles who were traveling, so they straightened their expressions and stood upright.

After the chariots and horses left the city gate, Fang relaxed his expression, and whispered to each other: "Since the princess in Yuanmingyuan used this kind of carriage, the princes and nobles in the capital have followed suit, and every family has bought such a carriage. Boss Lin of the car dealership made a big deal."

"What's more, Boss Lin is the princess's old servant. When the master seals the princess, even the servants are also honored."

"What! It is said that this kind of carriage was invented by Mr. Xuan Ning. It is spacious and stable. Four wheels are better than two wheels, right? The interior is very comfortable. Even if you go out, you can't find an inn to rest. There is no place to sleep. It’s because of those accompanying servants.”

"Besides, everyone in the world doesn't know that Mr. Xuanning and Princess Lin belong to the same family. They are a natural pair, and the emperor has acquiesced. Isn't Mr. Xuanning's and Princess Lin's?"

"Come on, let's not make random guesses here. These things have nothing to do with us anyway. Stand still, and I will invite everyone to have a drink or two when the shift changes later."

"Come on! The boss is nice to us."

In the carriage ahead, Daiyu and Jinyu sat and lay down together.Gossip all the way.In the carriage behind was Xuan Ning, leaning on the soft couch alone, flipping through an unknown book.

A group of people left the city gate, walked south for a few miles, turned west not far, and entered a Zhuangzi.Zhuangzi is an ordinary farm, but the house is neat and tidy, with all the blue bricks and red tiles hidden among the dogwood.At this time, the dogwood is just in the harvest season. Between the green leaves are small red fruits, which are really green, fat, red and thin, very eye-catching.

"It's such a quiet place, my sister really knows how to find it, how did I find it here? Look, this is a farm, what are there so many dogwood trees for?" Jinyu looked out of the car window, already overwhelmed by the scenery outside .

"Brother Yaozhi climbed to the high place, and there was one less person who planted cornel everywhere. When Xuan Ning left suddenly, I always thought he would come back, so I bought this land and ordered people to plant it full of cornel. Now he is finally back, too. My wish has been fulfilled. My sister still remembers Hui'er in her heart, and now she also comes here to wander around and make a wish. Maybe one day, he will suddenly appear in front of your eyes just like Xuan Ning." Daiyu also looked at that A piece of dogwood, in the past six or seven years, each tree has grown tall and strong, and is no longer a small sapling that was just transplanted back then.

"Really?" After ten days of recuperation, Jinyu's complexion improved a lot.Now that I hear this, I feel better.So he struggled to sit up and lay down in front of the car window looking out longingly, as if he could really see his son suddenly.
