The Love of the Red Chamber

In a blink of an eye, it was the time when winter went to spring and the green grass came. Yinzhen had been in the south of the Yangtze River for nearly a year, and gradually his mood calmed down a lot. He would no longer be in a gloomy trance by himself like in the beginning. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min also I feel relieved a lot.In the spring, Lin Ruhai became even more busy with government affairs. Although he was in charge of patrolling salt and censors in the south of the Yangtze River, Kangxi secretly found him many things to do, so he felt relieved and entrusted Daiyu to Yinzhen's care. Min moved to the government office in Suzhou.After all, living in Lin's family would inevitably lead to some official contacts, but Lin Ruhai didn't want to bring these to his home, because he wanted to leave a little space for Daiyu and Yinzhen Yinxiang.

In spring, the breeze was slightly drunk, and there was nothing to do this day, so Yinzhen took Yinxiang and Daiyu out for an outing.Along the way, Xiao Daiyu was as happy as a bird out of the cage. After a year, she seemed to have grown a little taller.One person led the way and jumped up and down in front, scaring the snow geese to follow closely, lest she accidentally fall into the paddy field on the side.

Yinxiang Yinzhen followed slowly, seemingly leisurely but always paying attention to the little person in front.Yinxiang smiled and said: "The dolls raised outside are still cute, fourth brother, look at the younger sisters in our palace who are as lively as Xiao Yuer." There are personalities, each of which looks like words and deeds made out of a mold.Although it is a noble and dignified royal demeanor, it is a bit boring after all.

A doting smile appeared on Yinzhen's indifferent face, "It's Dai'er's blessing to be born in the Lin family." Don't talk about the palace, that is, Lin Ruhai is naturally free and easy, and he doesn't want to restrict his daughter's temperament.If it was an ordinary wealthy family, I am afraid that they would not develop such a temperament.These two people didn't know that half of Daiyu's lively temper was due to them.This year, they brought Daiyu more favor than Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and even the royal princess was not so obedient.It's strange if you don't spoil your petty nature.Fortunately, Xiao Daiyu is still very sensible, and even if she makes her a little bitch occasionally, she won't make trouble unreasonably, and it will only make everyone love her more.

Daiyu looked curiously at the wheat fields on both sides of the path.The green wheat seedlings in the wheat field are really attractive.Squatting on the edge of the ground, looking at the bustling people working in the field, Daiyu stretched out her little hand to pull up the wheat seedlings on the ground.

"Dai'er, what are you doing?" Yinzhen's faint voice came.

Daiyu raised her small face and smiled brightly, "Pull the weeds."

Yinzhen walked up to her and squatted down, but before she spoke, Yinxiang behind said with a smile, "Little Yuer, can you tell which grass is which?" Daiyu hesitated and turned to the wheat field, pointing to the wheat seedlings with some uncertainty, "This Isn't it grass?" After all, she is a girl from a wealthy and scholarly family, and Lin Ruhai usually teaches Daiyu the flowers and plants at home, where he has seen wheat seedlings in the fields.The fact that she didn't recognize it as an orchid or a leek already shows that at least Xiao Daiyu has an excellent memory.

Yinzhen glanced at the triumphant Yinxiang, and said in a low voice, "Thirteenth brother, tell me what this is?"

Ga?Yinxiang stared blankly at his fourth brother.Let him talk about exotic flowers and plants, he can talk eloquently, let him talk about the art of war and martial arts, and he can talk for three to five hours at a stretch, but the green grass in front of him... "Fourth brother, is this really true?" Is it grass? Why do you plant so much grass?” Yin Xiang hesitated in answering.He, the elder brother who was born in the capital and in the palace, really has never seen what this is.

Seeing Yinzhen's cold and unpredictable expression, the two younger ones lowered their heads a little guilty.In the end, Daiyu was not ashamed to ask, "Fourth brother, what is this grass?" Yinzhen sighed lightly, touched Daiyu's small face and said, "This is a wheat seedling."

"Wheat seedlings? Is it the pasta we eat?" Apart from practice, Daiyu still mastered the things in the books very well.Yinzhen nodded and said, "That's right, the steamed buns and dumplings we eat are made of wheat." Daiyu looked at the wheat seedlings on the ground suspiciously, with a puzzled expression on her face.Yinzhen said softly: "I don't understand?" Daiyu nodded, and Yinzhen smiled and pulled Daiyu up and continued to walk forward: "In a few months, the wheat seedlings will grow up, and the wheat ears will grow. It will regenerate wheat grains and then grind them into flour for us to eat." Both Daiyu and Yinxiang had stunned expressions, and then Daiyu wrinkled her small face and said, "It's so troublesome."

Yinzhen said: "Yes, it's very troublesome. Dai'er will recite the hoe to the fourth brother."

Although she didn't understand Yinzhen's intention, Daiyu recited it obediently, "It's noon on the day of hoeing,

Sweat drips down the soil.

Who knows the plate of Chinese food,

Every particle is hard work. "

Yinzhen nodded appreciatively and said: "Dai'er recites very well, but to memorize poems is not only necessary to memorize the lines, but also to understand the meaning of the poems. Do you understand?" Daiyu nodded obediently: "Dai'er knows, farmer uncle It is hard work growing wheat seedlings for Dai'er to eat flour, and Dai'er shouldn't think they are vulgar." Thinking that they were some poorly dressed peasants she met when she just came here, Daiyu didn't like to walk away It fell into Yinzhen's eyes, and this question was born.

Yinzhen gently raised Daiyu's small face and said to himself: "Dai'er comes from a family, so it's natural not to like sloppy clothes. But you can't hate or look down on these peasants, do you understand? It's not that they don't want to wear gorgeous clothes , Meals are delicious, but they can’t. But they are willing to be ordinary when they go, and they work hard, and they have supported most of the world in my Qing Dynasty.” Daiyu nodded and remembered them one by one.Yin Xiang smiled and said, "Fourth brother, is it too early to teach Xiao Yuer these things?" Children should have fun and play, what are they doing with such a heavy thing?Yinzhen glanced at him indifferently, and said: "You are the same. Go back and write an article for me. If you fall behind in your studies this year in Jiangnan, I will send you back to Beijing."

Hearing this, Yinxiang had no choice but to lower his head helplessly, but even made a face at Daiyu while Yinzhen was not paying attention.

The three walked and chatted along the way, and Yinzhen patiently explained some of the knowledge he knew to the two of them. Occasionally, he met an old farmer and stopped to ask about some farming things in order to learn more.It was almost noon before turning back to Lin's house.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Xiao Yu'er, it's so boring." Yin Xiang lay weakly on the window sill and looked at the Lin family's garden full of flowers.Fourth brother is very busy recently, and he is not allowed to take Daiyu out alone, so he has to read and write every day, which is extremely boring.Daiyu also imitated Yinxiang's appearance and lay on the edge of the window sill, but she was too small, with a small stool under it, and said quietly: "Brother Thirteen, Dai'er is so boring." Thirteen rolled her eyes and smiled strangely , "Xiao Yuer, I heard that there is a flower market in the city for a few days. Do you want to watch the excitement?"

"Flower market?" Xiao Daiyu's long eyebrows fluttered, she was really cute.

"Yeah, yeah, it's very lively. Xiao Yuer hasn't been there, right?" Yin Xiang looked at the kidnapper who abducted the little baby.Daiyu lowered her head and counted with her fingers seriously, "Dad took Dai'er to the flower market last year, and the Peach Blossom Festival, um...it seems to have been there the year before last." Apparently she was not that excited.

Well?why is it like this? "Then Yu'er doesn't want to go this year? Maybe this year will be different."

"Brother Thirteen really wants to go?" Daiyu looked at him suspiciously.

Yinxiang nodded again and again, with a pitiful look on his face, "Xiao Yuer doesn't know how pitiful Brother Thirteen is. Brother Thirteen grew up in the north and has never seen a flower market." It seems very pitiful, Daiyu thought , "Brother Thirteen, go and tell Fourth Brother that you want to go out and have a look." Thirteen couldn't help but be dumbfounded. I've said so much and I just hope you can talk about it, Xiao Yu'er...how can you be so ruthless?

"What are you talking about?" Yin Zhen came out after finishing his work, and saw one big and one small lying on the edge of the window sill without any image.Daiyu turned around, jumped off the stool and went straight to Yinzhen, "Fourth Brother, Thirteenth Brother said that he has never seen a flower market." Yinzhen glanced at Yinxiang with a half-smile, which made Yinxiang scalp on the spot Yima, "Never seen a flower market?" Then what is he doing every spring when he runs out of the palace every now and then?Yin Xiang hurriedly apologized, "Fourth brother, you seem to be very busy recently. Why don't you take Xiao Yu'er out for a walk. You see, Xiao Yu'er is so bored, this little face has no color."

"Daier bored?"

Daiyu hesitated, received Yinxiang's sad eyes and secretly smiled, then looked up at Yinzhen, "Is fourth brother free? Can Dai'er go to the flower market?" Yinzhen glanced at Yinxiang lightly and said: " Well, let's go out for a walk tomorrow."

Hearing this, Yinxiang's eyes immediately shone brightly, and he almost jumped up and called out the fourth brother long live.Yinzhen's voice came from behind, "Brother Thirteen, remember to write a review after watching the flower market, it's very profound."

What is extreme joy begets sorrow?That's it.Impressions... How can I feel when I visit a flower market?His reflections on agriculture had just been handed in.
