Lin Daiyu in modern times

Aunt Lin is a skilled worker of the Xu family. Uncle Xu had explained to her on the phone before that he was here to take care of a little girl. I told the little girl to be a bit timid, and told her not to ask too many questions, and then led by Uncle Xu to the backyard wing.

But the little girl came to this strange place for the first time, and after the two outsiders left, she looked at the house suppressing the fear in her heart, and saw that the sun was in full bloom outside the house, and summer flowers were blooming, but the house was cool. It's very, there is no heat, and I feel panic and strangeness in my heart.It's just that there is nothing weirder than thinking that I have appeared here for no reason.While there was no one around, the little girl secretly pinched herself, the pain was real, which showed that she was not dreaming.

Thinking wildly like this, she heard someone calling her from outside. It turned out that the maid invited by the brother had come.

After Aunt Lin entered the room, Xu Fan waited anxiously in the hall.Seeing him like this, Zhao Anran asked him to sit down and wait several times, but Xu Fan ignored them.Fortunately, they only waited for about ten minutes, when the sound of footsteps came from outside.Uncle Xu and Aunt Lin came in first, they opened the door, only to see a slender and graceful woman approaching.

Aunt Lin is a native of Suzhou. She doesn't speak Mandarin very well, but she speaks Su Bai very well.At this moment, her half-baked words were full of admiration: "Master Xu, what kind of fairy is this niece? Why is she born so beautiful!"

That little girl is from Suzhou, how could she not understand what she heard?After coming out of the air-conditioned room and being blown by the heat wave, her flushed face seemed to turn even redder.She lowered her head and dared not look at Xu Fan and the two of them.Anyway, after entering the house, although he stood gracefully, he only stood in that corner, not daring to go too far.

Zhao Anran laughed when he heard Aunt Lin's words, but the big guy didn't speak, so he had to endure it hard, shrugging his shoulders while laughing.Xu Fan also understood Aunt Lin's words, but he didn't expect that his identity was just a nonsense, so that others misunderstood that the little girl was his niece... He coughed lightly, said something to trouble Aunt Lin, and asked Xu Fan Uncle went to collect Aunt Lin's wages.

Aunt Lin said that it was not easy to get money in such a short time, but Xu Fan only said that it would be troublesome for her to come here in such a hot day, and she might need her help in the future.Aunt Lin stopped talking and left with Uncle Xu.

For a while, only Xu Fan and the little girl were left in the hall.

Xu Fan was thinking about how to speak, but saw the little girl took three steps forward with light steps, and then gave him and Zhao Anran a little blessing: "Thank you two sons. I don't know where the mistress is at home? The little girl can go and see her." .”

Hearing the words of the weak and slender girl who was neither humble nor overbearing, Xu Fan was even more sure that the little girl's status in ancient times should not be low, at least she was a lady of everyone.Zhao Anran answered first: "Little girl, Brother Fan and I are both old bachelors, and Brother Fan's mother is in Beijing, which is another city. There are indeed no female relatives in this family now. Our current dynasty and You were different at that time, but with us, men and women are equal, so you can just tell us what you want.”

The little girl held her two overlapping hands tightly, as if she was thinking about the authenticity of Zhao Anran's words, and how to accept this completely unfamiliar rule to her.

"Come and sit down and talk. You are still weak and cannot stand for long."

The little girl nodded slightly, glanced hastily at Xu Fan who was speaking, and then looked at the furnishings in the room. How was it the same as what she had seen before?But there is a low glass tea table in the living room, brown sofas are placed on three sides of the coffee table, Zhao Anran is sitting on the single sofa opposite her, and Xu Fan is standing near the edge of the couch .The little girl withdrew her gaze, and chose the one-person sofa that was farthest from them, which was opposite to Zhao Anran.

As soon as she sat down, her body stiffened slightly, because the seat was unbelievably soft, but her mind was originally sensitive|delicate, and it was even more so after experiencing life and death.Therefore, she didn't show it, and she just sat on the edge of the sofa, as if she would get up immediately if there was any movement.

Xu Fan and Zhao Anran saw it in their eyes, and knew in their hearts that it was not easy for this ancient lady to achieve this step.She is really a good girl with a weak willow character but a strong heart.Xu Fan had a good impression of this little girl, got up and poured her a cup of tea, handed it to her, then sat down on the couch, and said, "Hello, little girl. Now I will formally introduce myself to you." Myself, my name is Xu Fan, Xu from Xu Xutuzhi, Fan from mortals. This is my good friend, Zhao Anran."

After finishing speaking, Xu Fan looked at the little girl.In ancient times, ladies of great families would not tell their maiden names to outsiders, and it was not easy for Xu Fan to ask her first and last name directly.But if she doesn't say it, she won't be able to take the first step in living in modern society.After listening to Zhao Anran, he added: "My name is Zhao Anran, Zhao Kuangyin's Zhao, An An, then Ran. Little girl, what's your name?"

Hearing Zhao Anran call Song Tai|Zu's name, the little girl was taken aback again.Hearing Zhao Anran ask her own name again, the little girl bit her lip lightly, and then said softly: "My surname is Lin... my baby name is Daiyu."

Zhao Anran paused the hand that was holding the cup, and looked at Xu Fan suddenly.But Xu Fan was not much better than himself.

Lin Daiyu?Xiao|Xiang concubine Lin Daiyu? !Crimson Pearl Fairy Lin Daiyu? ! Lin Daiyu, the heroine of "Dream of Red Mansions"? !

The two gazes were too hot, Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, and secretly glanced at the two of them.

Just at this glance, Xu Fan and Zhao Anran felt their hearts beating even harder.It's the eyes, the eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and the eyes that seem to be weeping but not weeping.Xu Fan has never read Dream of Red Mansions carefully, but he also knows that the fairyland in Cao Gong's works is as quiet as flowers shining in water, and his actions are like wind blowing willows!This kind of beauty, ordinary people exhausted all their imaginations, I'm afraid they can't imagine a thing or two!But the person in front of him, the person in front of him, sat there alive and well.That is the delicate flower shining on the water, that is the fairyland outside the world.

But this scorching gaze frightened Lin Daiyu after all.

Could it be that these two people deceived themselves?But they don't stop there.

She lowered her head again, twisting the handkerchief in both hands, full of panic and helplessness.

"Is your father Lord Lin Hailin, the inspector of salt?"

"You...how did you know?" Lin Daiyu finally couldn't hold back when she heard her father's name, she stood up trembling.This hall seems to be a place of carved beams and painted buildings, the place where the Lin family entertains guests.The figure of his father, his voice and smile seemed to be still in his ears!But after all, she went to Jinling, died, and finally returned home clean!She was dead, indeed dead!After all, this life and death is just a floating cloud.Father couldn't come back, and Baoyu and Baoyu also married Sister Bao...

Seeing Lin Daiyu's body trembling slightly, and her eyes vacantly looking at the hall, Xu Fan's heart moved, he hurried to her side, and held her up when she was about to faint.
