The Red Chamber Collection

"Hey, wait a minute, master!" Daiyu saw the back of the monk and nun, she was too familiar, could it be her?

The monks and nuns sounded as if someone was calling her from behind.This voice is so familiar!She turned her head abruptly, and she saw Daiyu walking towards her.She clasped her palms together: "Amitabha, he is indeed an old friend, and the voice is very familiar."

"Master Miaoyu! It's really you. I look at it from a distance, and it looks like your shadow." Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Daiyu saw that it was Miaoyu, and was very kind.

"Daiyu!" Miaoyu looked at Daiyu, very surprised, "I heard that you met a tall man who saved you. I thought it was a joke, but today I saw it, it turned out to be true?"

Daiyu nodded, "It's true, how did you get here?" As she spoke, Daiyu took Miaoyu's hand, "Come and sit with me inside and have a cup of tea! I want to ask you something!"

Miaoyu nodded and followed Daiyu into the inn.The waiter took Princess Yanzi to look around the room.Yanzi was quite satisfied, so she made a deposit and was coming downstairs to look for Daiyu.Seeing Daiyu coming in holding hands with a monk and nun, he asked Daiyu, "Who is this?"

"This is an old friend!" Daiyu pointed to Princess Yanzi and said to Miaoyu, "This is a sister I met on the road!"

"Sister?" Miaoyu looked at Princess Yanzi's attire, but said nothing.The three of them went upstairs together.The shop waiter brought hot tea.

"You must also know about the changes in the mansion!" Daiyu broke the silence and said to Miaoyu.

"That day, I will be there!"

"How are the people in the mansion doing now?"

"Except for the old lady and Qiaojie and a few other people in the whole mansion, they are all detained by the government!"

"How is the old lady?" Daiyu was concerned about the old lady.

"The old lady has passed away!"

"Ah?!" Daiyu burst into tears, remembering how the old lady loved her in the past.How did this go? !Daiyu burst into tears.

"The old lady is very old, and she was extremely sad when she encountered this catastrophe again, so she went." Miaoyu clasped her palms together and comforted Daiyu, "Amitabha, it is a good thing that the old lady has gone. At such an age, If you suffer from detention, wouldn’t it be a living punishment?! Moreover, human life is fixed.”

Daiyu cried for a while, then asked Baoyu, Baochai, Xiren, etc., and Miaoyu answered them one by one.Then Miaoyu told Daiyu, "Yuanyang went with the old lady, and Wang Xifeng also died." Daiyu cried for a while.

"It's boring to be alive!" After a while, Daiyu wiped away her tears and sighed, "How long has it been? If you say no, then it's gone. If you say you want to break up a family, just break up like this!"

Miaoyu sat for a while, and then said, "In my opinion, the fate of the mansion is all due to one decision of the empress!"

"How do you say this?"

"I think back then, the imperial concubine made Baoyu and Baochai marry! It has already sown evil results!" Miaoyu paused, looked at Daiyu, they both knew each other, Miaoyu didn't make it clear.Then he continued, "Actually, the one who knows the fate of the Jia family the most in the house is the old lady! It's just that she doesn't tell the truth!"

Daiyu was silent.She thought of the friendship with Baoyu; she thought of burying flowers; she thought of Baoyu's madness because of her.Now they are all detained in the government, and I don't know how to deal with them in the future.

Miaoyu sat for a while, then she stood up, "Daiyu, I'm leaving! I have a few words of advice for you!"

"Speaking!"

"Since the mansion is already like this, don't expect to settle there anymore. Even if the mansion rises in the future, it will not be easy for you to go back. The old lady who loved you is gone, and Baoyu is married again. You will have no one to rely on when you go!" Dai Yu nodded, and Miaoyu continued, "Your fourth younger sister has already become a monk, so don't imitate her now! It's hard work for a monk, so where is there a place to live?! Xichun is now like me, begging for alms everywhere and making my home everywhere. In my opinion, you are smart and well-read and memorized. You should stop having old-school ideas. Now, in my opinion, your temperament is not easy to cling to men, otherwise you will not be happy. You might as well make a plan and support yourself Own."

"Support yourself?" Daiyu asked suspiciously.

"Yes! You should start a career and make up your own mind." Miaoyu said, not wanting to say too much, she is a smart person, and she will stop, "I should go, Amitabha! If there is a destiny in the future, We will meet again!"

Daiyu went downstairs and sent Miaoyu away.She thought about Miaoyu's words.I think she still understands herself.I was originally lonely and arrogant, but after marrying a man, a wealthy and powerful concubine with three bedrooms and four concubines, I was fighting for favor all day long, how could such a life be suitable for me?

"Has she left?" The princess interrupted Daiyu's thoughts, she had been listening when Miaoyu was talking to Daiyu just now.

"Let's go!" Daiyu said.

"I think what this master said is right. Although our girl can't take the exam for fame, she can still have a career!"

"Business?" Daiyu thought, feeling ridiculous.She is a 16-year-old girl who is in business? !

"I think it will work!" said the princess, "How did you know the master just now?"

"She used to practice in Quicui Nunnery in my uncle's Grand View Garden. We sisters all lived in the Grand View Garden, and we often visited her. Her tea art is very exquisite! She is also a lady of an official family, very noble, and ordinary people see her. No way!"

"Oh! Sister, let's start a business together, and we will have our own Grand View Garden in the future!"

Daiyu laughed at her, "Do you think you are the same as me? I have no father or mother, no one to control me, can your parents allow you to do this?"

"Mom?! Yanzi thinks this word is new.

"What? What's your name if you don't call your parents?"

"Ah, yes, it's called Mom and Dad! My parents don't care about me! It's just that my brother sometimes meddles in other people's business." Princess Swallow repeated, "Mom and Dad!" She thought it was fun to call it that!

On the second day, Daiyu Swallow set off.Not to mention the rush all the way.

On this day, Daiyu Swallow finally arrived at her hometown in Gusu City.

Because Daiyu was away with her father who was an official since she was a child.No one recognized her.She and Yanzi came to the grave of their parents, kowtowed, burned the paper, and felt sad for a while.Princess Swallow followed Daiyu's example and kowtowed to burn paper.Daiyu came to her own tomb again, and said to Yanzi playfully, "Don't you kowtow to your sister's tomb?!"

"Unlucky!" Yanzi looked at the name of Lin Daiyu engraved on the tombstone, "I think it was picked up. People are alive and well, but there is a monument here. People often say, you are the living dead now. Dead Alive, alive, dead."

Someone in Linjiazhuang saw a young lady and a young man going to the grave, so they hurriedly told Daiyu's family.Daiyu's family came over in a lie, but Daiyu didn't know this fifty-year-old family member.

"May I ask what your address is?" Daiyu's family member said politely.

Daiyu thought for a while, "This Uncle Lin used to be an official with my father. Now that I'm on the way, my father asked me to go to his grave and burn a piece of paper. To show the affection of an old friend!"

"Oh!"

"Excuse me, sir! Who erected Daiyu's stele?"

"Oh, it's the son of Jia Lian from the Jia family in the capital!"

"Then who else was with him at the time?"

"There are still a few followers!" The family thought for a while, "By the way, there is another girl. I heard that she is the maid of this little girl. I can't remember what her name is Zi."

"Cuckoo?"

"Yes, yes, it's called Zicuckoo! How do you know?"

"What about her?" Daiyu asked urgently.And no answer.

"The second son of the Jia family sent her back to her hometown. What is that place called Wangjiazhuang? It's fifty miles away from here!"

"In what direction?"

"I saw Second Master Jia going east along this road! Hearing from people in our village who went to the city to do business, it seemed to be on the side of the road. At that time, he saw that the county master had gone!"

"Oh! Thank you, old man!"
