Warriors in the Red Chamber

Chapter 19 Daiyu meets Situ Rui by chance

In the quiet courtyard, the piano sounded repeatedly. Although the technique was not skilled enough, it was full of aura.It's just that the heart of the piano player seemed restless, but it was a bit chaotic at the end, and the piano sound stopped after a wrong note.

Ban Xia looked at her girl's face and sighed, stepped forward and said: "If the girl is tired, and the weather is fine today, why don't you go for a walk in the garden."

Daiyu originally wanted to play the qin for peace of mind, but didn't want to get more and more annoying by talking, which would spoil the artistic conception of playing the qin, so she just let it go, just stared at the strings in a daze.

She has not seen her father for five consecutive days, it should be said that since that Prince Rui moved into her family's residence, her father has not come back from the yamen.

To be honest, she didn't know exactly what was going on between this Prince Rui and his father, but she didn't like this Prince Rui, because since they came, the originally good life has changed.Dad stayed in the yamen and didn't come back. The third brother didn't know why, and he basically didn't see anyone. Although he would take time to visit him, he seemed to be very busy.On the contrary, the sixth prince would accompany her every day, but the atmosphere in the mansion was getting more and more strange, which really made her worry.

Mother is gone, she only has father alone, Daiyu feels very sad, but no one can tell.The third brother is too busy, the sixth prince can't understand at all, even Mr. Gu asked for leave to visit friends, I'm afraid it would be annoying if he said that he was visiting friends.

Banxia has nothing to do with Daiyu's downcast look, she knows a little about the tense atmosphere in the mansion, but he is a prince, if he doesn't leave, no one can catch up.

Fortunately, Xueyan was young, and Daiyu and the others used to be a little lively on weekdays. Now she joked: "Girl, girl, I heard that the plum blossoms in the garden are blooming, let's go and have a look, and pick one back and put it in." Bottle, didn't the girl always like it?"

Daiyu was melancholy at first, but after being teased by Xueyan, she felt better and said, "I'm going to play with you on weekdays, but now I'm going to play in my name. Xiqiu, go and see." See if Nanny Yan is here?"

Xueyan was terrified when she heard the words, she hurriedly looked around and begged for mercy: "Miss, don't scare me, I will be miserable if Mother Yan finds out."

Xi Qiu didn't know that Daiyu was scaring Xueyan and followed him: "Now I know I'm afraid, Miss Yan seems to be going to talk to Liu, do you want me to invite her?"

Xueyan hurriedly pulled Xi Qiu, who was about to leave, begging Daiyu, "My good girl, I will be remembered badly when Madam Yan comes."

The pitiful appearance made Daiyu laugh, and also made the maids in the room laugh.Xi Qiu nodded her head and said with a smile: "Miss is teasing you, but you should also pay attention, how could the nuns really run into each other? Let's see what you do."

Xueyan was busy, but she also argued: "Aren't I worried about the girl? Otherwise, the sixth prince will come again later."

Xueyan was still a little open-mouthed even though she was young, it was fine for everyone to pamper her, but as soon as she said this, Daiyu's face immediately turned ugly.

Banxia is a first-class maid, and she learned the rules from a few nuns, so Daiyu didn't need to open her mouth for such a thing, and immediately said: "There are no rules, talk about the prince in private, you have lost all the rules of the Lin family, now Go back to your room and reflect on it."

Xueyan was stunned at the time, and looked at the surrounding sisters, none of them spoke for her, but Xi Qiu held her back when she wanted to argue again.

Daiyu didn't pay any attention to it, Xueyan said something wrong, so of course someone has to teach her, if she indulges, it will hurt her.

It's just that I can't bear it after all. Banxia has been serving Daiyu for a long time and knows that her girl is a lover, so she said: "If you don't want to disperse in the garden, it's not good to be bored in the house."

Daiyu knew that she wanted to teach Xueyan privately, so she didn't object.Xi Qiu hurriedly found a big sweater for Daiyu to put on.

Xueyan still stood at the door aggrieved, and Daiyu just sighed.

It was almost the twelfth lunar month, and most of the vegetation in the garden was not in full bloom, and all that could be seen were the plum blossoms near the plum garden, but Daiyu didn't want to go there, so she just scattered in the garden.

Xiangling has a good temper, but she is not smart enough, now everyone sees that the girl doesn't want to go to the plum garden, so Xiangling pushes Daiyu to go there.

Inevitably arousing Daiyu's curiosity, she said, "I've never seen you like plum blossoms so much on weekdays. Why do you want to go so much today?"

Xiangling also knew that Daiyu was good-natured, so she said honestly, "I usually understand where I read it, but when a girl reads it, she should write poems after reading it. The poems written by a girl are really good."

Such straightforward words caused Daiyu to look at Xiangling very much and said: "I just said that no one around me is willing to learn. I didn't expect that there is another you here. From now on, you can go to school with me." .”

Xiangling didn't expect such a good thing again, she narrowed her eyes with a smile, and thanked the girl repeatedly.

Followed by Xi Qiu, he hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed the words, she is not Pinellia, let alone a few nuns, they can say some things, but I can't.It's not a big deal anymore, it's just a few accompanying maids.He just looked at Xiang Ling who was smiling, but he didn't expect this maid to be lucky enough to get the girl's favor.

Probably because it was rare to meet a maid who was willing to learn, Daiyu felt better.It's just that such a good mood lasted until I saw the person in the pavilion from a distance.

Her eyes sank slightly, and Daiyu turned around and was about to lead someone back.But it was a step too late, and the man's attendant came to invite him immediately.

Although Daiyu didn't like this person, she would not break the rules on the surface, that person is a prince no matter what.

After entering the pavilion, the three sides were sealed with heavy curtains. There was no charcoal burning in the pavilion, so it was not very cold.

But immediately after Daiyu came in, someone sent red-hot silver charcoal in, presumably someone ordered it.

Daiyu stood aside after paying respects to Situ Rui, her face was full of indifference, unable to distinguish between happiness and anger.

Looking at it like that, he looks more and more like Lin Hai, but he is younger.Situ Rui smiled lightly and said: "Miss Lin, please sit down, this king can't eat people, can he?"

Immediately, a servant put a stool beside Daiyu, but Daiyu had no choice but to thank her and then sat down.

Seeing the little girl's nervous look, Situ Rui didn't want to deepen her dislike, so he just asked a few gossiping questions, such as why Situ Jin didn't have one, what books he read on weekdays, and what he learned.

Like an elder, Daiyu answered one by one, and the tension at the beginning was relieved a bit. After all, she was not familiar with this Prince Rui, and she just complained that the appearance of this person changed her own peace and made Lin Hai unwilling to go home.But on the other hand, Daiyu is a precocious and intelligent child. She is keenly aware that the relationship between the two adults seems unusual.Her father's behavior was too abnormal, which aroused her curiosity.

As if knowing what Daiyu was thinking, when Daiyu relaxed her vigilance, Situ Rui timely brought up a topic that Daiyu was interested in. "Miss Lin must be wondering why the king stays in the Lin mansion?"

The reason why Daiyu's dislike for this prince has diminished is that he didn't point or perfuse her with this prince, and he didn't treat her like a child when talking to her.

But Daiyu is not stupid, she just smiled and said: "Your Highness has a noble status, the reason why he stayed in the Lin family is the luck of the Lin family." Very official statement.

The smile on the corner of Situ Rui's mouth deepened, this Miss Lin played her tricks carefully, and she didn't suffer at all, it's up to you if you say it or not, anyway, I don't fall for it.

Her name is Daiyu, isn't it, Dai is Moye, but unfortunately she is not a man, and it is a pity that Lin Hai also has this regret.But he let go of this thought in an instant, the girl is also very good, isn't it.

Although Daiyu wasn't fooled, Situ Rui still wanted to say, "My father and I are old friends, it's just that an accident happened, and he doesn't want to see me now."

Situ Rui looked a little lonely when he said this, although Daiyu warned her not to be fooled, but her father couldn't help asking: "Did the lord and my father know each other a long time ago?"

Seeing Yu'er taking the bait, Situ Rui continued to maintain that melancholy look and said: "Naturally, your father was only not much older than you at that time, and he was only as old as the Xiao family boy."

Seeing that Daiyu was still thinking about it, Situ Rui asked another topic, "Do you want to know what your father was like when he was a child?"

This topic immediately aroused Daiyu's interest. Both Lin Hai's parents died young, and no elders really told him what his father looked like when he was young. In his memory, Lin Hai has always been a calm and elegant literati image, as gentle as jade.So was the father like this when he was young?Or is he a sensible big brother like the third brother?

Probably guessing Daiyu's little thoughts, Situ Rui smiled and said: "Does Yu'er think that your father must have been very sensible when he was young?"

Daiyu nodded, her father must be like this, she couldn't think of a disobedient appearance.

Situ Rui looked at Daiyu's cute appearance and smiled and said: "Then you guessed wrong, your father is very well-behaved in front of elders, but not in front of other people. When I first met your father, he He was plotting against a child from a family who bullied him, and the person who caused him a big embarrassment, I don’t know who did it. Your father hid aside and laughed, but I happened to see it at that time.”

Daiyu blinked and couldn't believe that her father would be like this. This man can't be a liar, can he?

"Think I'm lying to you?" Situ Rui frowned slightly.

"But I heard Nanny Lin said that my father won the exam very early, and my father has always studied hard." It means that he will not have time to do these things.

Situ Rui was not annoyed, but said with some regret: "Because your grandfather was still there at that time, and your father was the only son in the family. With parents taking care of you, naturally your temper was not as gentle as it appeared on the surface. Until your grandfather passed away, your father carried the coffin. After returning to the south, he became calm and introverted overnight, and even those of us who are close to him seldom saw his true temperament. At that time, he became the gentleman praised by everyone."
