However, it was said that Zhang Pi and Zhang Pi and his wife had originally invited Lin Ruhai's father and daughter to their home for dinner, but when they arrived at the corner of the street, the housekeeper of the Lin family reported that there were guests waiting at home and asked Lin Ruhai to return quickly. Here, Lin Daiyu also confessed to Chen. Lin Ruhai asked Zhang Hui to accompany him. So the two families parted ways and went home.

Lin Ruhai and the others arrived at home, and when they arrived in the main hall, they were taken aback when they saw the visitors: it was no one else, one was Yue Feng, the provincial supervisor of the inner service, and the other was Hua Song, the young eunuch. Lin Ruhai was busy with the ceremony. The two of them smiled and saw each other, and Yue Feng passed on the message, and Lin Ruhai immediately entered the palace to see him. Lin Ruhai received the order and immediately changed clothes. This side of the hall is back to entertain on behalf of the court, because of the familiarity with the flowers, I can't help but ask. Hua Song smiled: "I know that Lord Lin is going to Yue's house today." Besides, the two of us just sat for a moment, so it's okay. ”

Zhang Hui knew a little bit in his heart, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the sky is full of thick clouds with lead gray color, and the wind is also tight, I am afraid that it will snow for a while." The two adults sat down for a while and warmed up with a sip of wine. Then he turned and went out to give orders, and then he came in again to speak.

After a while, Lin Ruhai came out dressed well, and the people of the Lin Mansion also sent warm wine. All three were eaten. Will line, Zhang Hui sent three orangutan felt cloaks and three sable hand cages. Lin Ruhai turned to Yue Feng and Hua Song and said with a smile: "The gown that is often used to avoid the snow, let's block the wind, don't dislike it." Both smiled and took it.

Get dressed up and get on your horse. Sure enough, snow fell on the road. Zhang Hui and Lin Ruhai's elder Wu Yuan took a few people and sent them outside the palace gate. Yue Feng caged the cloak and replied to Zhang, "It's enough to leave two people waiting." There is an official house over there, and it costs two tea money. ”

Zhang Hui hurriedly thanked him, and immediately ordered to go with the others. Next to him, Hua Song saw that he was not busy with his movements, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhangxiang's house, let's go." It's cold and snowy, and you're going to take the exam next spring, so you can't stand the cold. ”

Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Lin Ruhai was also slightly bowing behind him, so he bowed and saluted, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your advice." Seeing him and his party enter the palace, he said a few words to Wu Yuan before returning to the Lin Mansion.

After arriving at the mansion, Zhang Hui told Lin Ruhai about Lin Ruhai's entry into the palace to Wu Sheng, Lin Shan, and Shen Ping, who were in charge here, and said, "I don't know what time it was to come home." Let's do a little more tonight and serve with your heart. "I also called the daughter-in-law of the kitchen steward - that is, Wang Shu's family, surnamed Yu, is the younger sister-in-law of Lin Daiyu's mother Wang Mama, because Daiyu likes the dishes she makes, this time in Beijing, Lin Ruhai specially ordered to bring her up, and use her to be in charge of the kitchen. Zhang Hui waited for her to come over and said, "The old man's house will probably be late, and the kitchen stove will not be turned off today, and you will always take care of it." And he commanded that he should make a porridge and a pasta dish with soup. Then he asked, "Did the girl have dinner over there?"

Wang Shujia replied that no. After thinking about it again, she said: "The eldest girl asked Qinghe to spread the word that because she ate more food and snacks than usual during the day, she didn't feel hungry at this time, so she only took two snacks to prepare for hunger." ”

Zhang replied: "I'll go over and take a look." Auntie, you first prepare the porridge and food. "Wang Shujia responded, and went down to prepare not to mention it.

Zhang Hui went to Lin Daiyu's yard. However, it is said that the ancestor of the Lin family attacked the marquis, and this family house was originally given by the Ming Emperor, and it was built for nearly a hundred years. After Lin Ruhai visited the flowers, he overhauled the garden from the inside to the outside, expanded the garden a lot, and attracted living water nearby, made it into the shape of a peninsula, and held the back third of the east road of the house in it. Later, Lin Ruhai was appointed to Yangzhou, and the house in Beijing was vacant for ten years. This time he returned to Beijing with his daughter, and Lin Ruhai asked someone to come over half a year in advance to renovate the house and decorate the courtyard. Make a whole separate courtyard in the semi-ring of living water, make up more rockery and lake stones, ancient trees and flowers, and plant a lot of green bamboos and plantains in the front yard of the wall, and the empty places such as both sides of the stone path are full of bluegrass; It's just that because Lin Ruhai has always loved his daughter, Daiyu's courtyard must be named and inscribed by her personally, and his family has only returned to Beijing, so the plaque on the courtyard gate is still empty at this moment.

Zhang Huixing arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and there were already two mothers-in-law on the door to greet him: "Young Master Cousin is here." While rushing to pass the word, he let in: "Come in quickly." The snow is heavy outside, and if you look at these two sentences, a layer will fall on your body. But he kept the rules and did not step forward and beat him diligently. Zhang Hui smiled and nodded, and went inside.

Along the stone road to the main house, Qinghe and Qingmiao had already opened the curtain to let them in, and greeted them with a smile. Inside, Lin Daiyu also came up, and when she looked at the coat on Zhang Hui's body, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is it snowing outside?"

Zhang Hui smiled: "It's been more than half an hour." My sister didn't know. He took off his gown, handed it to Zijuan and put it beside him, and said, "I heard that my sister refused to eat, and she was full of the snow outside, but it doesn't seem to be." Is my sister safe? Or is it that I've worked hard all day today, what does I feel is inappropriate?"

Zhang Hui said on the one hand, and on the other hand, he looked at Daiyu's description carefully. This look is not right: although it is smiling, her complexion is a little bleak, and there are faint tears in the corners of her eyes; when she sees that she is looking at her, she hurriedly dodges, but it is not the usual kind of girl who is shy and coquettish, more frightened, and has a bit of guilt. Zhang Hui chuckled in his heart, presumably for a reason. At this time, Daiyu dodged away, and it was inconvenient for him to keep an eye on it, so he looked at the other maids in the house, thinking that he could see some clues. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned my eyes, I saw that the lights and candles on the case were brilliant, the paper and pen were extravagant, a pool of thick ink in the inkstone had not dried, and there was a piece of writing paper resting on the case, looking like a poem. Zhang Hui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turns out that my sister is concentrating on hard work, and it's strange that it's not called passing the meal." As he spoke, he walked over and picked up the poem.

The bookcase was under the window, a few steps away. Zhang Hui had no distractions in his heart, and walked over to get the poem, but he didn't see Lin Daiyu shaking his body behind him and moving his steps. However, Daiyu didn't really stop her, so Zhang Hui walked to the front of the case unconsciously, picked up the piece of paper, and saw what was written on it:

The eyes are empty and tears are empty, but who is it for them?

The size of the shark is given away, so that people are not sad!

When Zhang Hui saw it, he was taken aback, and immediately saw a piece of fabric pressed under the volume of "Yuefu Miscellaneous Manuscripts" on the case, although it was folded several times, it was vaguely seen that it was a handkerchief, half-new, not old, and used. Zhang Hui stayed in the local area, silent for a while. After a while, Fang reluctantly smiled: "It's me who is abrupt." My sister ......" has not finished speaking, and I don't know how to continue the words. Daiyu was also stunned and speechless.

Zhang Hui looked at her four eyes, and stayed for a few more breaths, Fang suddenly realized that his hand was burned by the coals and threw the poem manuscript on the case, walked away two steps quickly, and then stopped again, turned his head, and did not look at Daiyu, and only said in his mouth: "Sister...... Miss Lin, you should also pay attention to maintenance...... I'll ask someone to bring porridge and soup, eat as much as you want, if you really don't want to eat it...... I'm just here to tell you that my uncle's family is only afraid that it will be later......"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but shout when she heard him turn upside down: "Cousin!" Zhang Hui heard this, his whole body jumped, and his mouth quickly said, "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look", pulled up his feet and walked outside. Zijuan shouted in a panic: "Young Master Cousin's gown-"

I heard a "poof" in the courtyard, followed by a "bang" and someone fell. For a while, the maid in the yard and the little maid in the retreat shouted together, "The young master has slipped!" "The young master has fallen?" Daiyu was so frightened that she rushed to the door, but when she saw Zhang Hui grunting and getting up, she didn't have time to pat the snow on her body, and ran outside without touching her feet. The two little guys also rushed out.

Here Zijuan came over with Zhang Hui's gown and asked, "Girl, what's the matter-" Before she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu hurriedly said: "Zijuan, you send the clothes quickly, and see how your cousin is, but it has fallen!" and then called: "Wait a minute, Qinghe will take the umbrella, and Zijuan will bring me the gown." ”

Seeing that this was not like this, Daiyu's mother Wang Mama hurriedly walked up and said: "It's freezing and snowing, the girl is slow to pass, if she is sick from the air conditioning, what should the old man and the young master do? Without saying anything, he pushed Daiyu back to the house, and gave Zijuan, Qinghe, Qingmiao and others a look. When those few saw it, they came up together to surround Daiyu. Mama Wang walked out of the yard quickly.

But it was said that Daiyu saw that R's mother advocated acting, and her heart seemed to be a little settled, so she let Zijuan, Qinghe and others lead her to the door, and then pulled her to sit on the stool. However, as soon as I turned my head slightly, I saw the manuscript of the poem on the case, and when I touched my heart, I suddenly felt like a hot soup boiling and boiling oil, and it hurt in an instant, and I didn't know that the tears flowed down like a river. Frightened, Zijuan and Qinghe's souls scattered, one hugged Daiyu, only shouting "girl come to her senses", and the other rushed out, looking for the old grandmothers to come and help. At one time, there were six or seven maids and four or five grandmothers around, some asked, some shouted, some poured water, some served tea, some handed hand towels, and some wiped their eyes.

Lin Daiyu saw that everyone was busy, and she could hear everyone talking, but her heart ached and she was wooden, knowing that she had nothing else in her body, but her body seemed to be no longer her own, and she couldn't even open her mouth. She wasn't too scared, and thought to herself: It's better to die now.

It turned out that Lin Daiyu visited Baoyu in Jiafu on this day, and when she knew where Baoyu's illness began, she felt very uncomfortable: because she had no brothers and sisters, and she grew up in Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, she had long regarded her cousins and sisters here as her own children. Among the brothers and sisters in Rongfu, there is only one Baoyu who is the closest to him, eating at one table, sleeping in one room, sitting and walking, almost rarely not in one place. Because he is a guest house, and he is naturally careful and sensitive, he always has things that are not in his heart, unsatisfactory, and tangled with troubles, and eight of the first ten times here are Baoyu's first discoveries. I have a comfortable life in Rongfu, the first one is naturally the work of my grandmother Shi Taijun, and then it should be Baoyu. Baoyu treats himself well, he knows everything, he treats Baoyu with his heart, although he often sends him to his face, but for a while and a half, and then he will stop; If Baoyu has any pain or sickness, and he is sad and sad, he cannot rest in peace, and he is praised for his good, and he is often happier than he is with honor. It's just that I originally thought that all the best brothers and sisters in the world should be like this, and although I and Baoyu are cousins, they are just more than usual. Therefore, when I don't see Baoyu today, I feel strange, I hear about the sudden illness, I am more and more worried, and when I see the description, my nose and eyes are sour, and I can't help but cry.

Baoyu's sentence "Sister Lin is sick" seems to fly from the sky, and it is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, stripping away the words of those brothers and sisters, and pointing directly to the love between men and women. However, in Daiyu herself, although she feels her deep affection, she has no intention of joy: not only because of the unexpected thing, but also because the fright is more than anything else; it is not only because the marriage contract has been decided, and the love is already tied to people; it is really the love of brother and sister, and if you think about the others, the heart is as calm as water, indifferent, and there is not a trace of joy between the two and the two people, and they are happy with each other. Thinking about Baoyu's sincere treatment of each other over the years, how to teach Daiyu not to resent her indifference, not to blame herself for not being able to repay it?

Daiyu is full of sorrow and self-pity here. However, when she was in Jia's mansion, Jia's mother, Chen's family, the aunts, aunts, aunts and sisters of the two families were all there, and they all cared about themselves very much, she didn't want to worry her relatives, and she was even more afraid that such private things would cause the two families unhappy, so she had to beat her spirits, laugh and play as usual, and try her best to cover up the past. As for their own courtyard, they are close and trustworthy people on the left and right, how can they not selfishly indulge and injure their liver and sausages? Qinghe, Qingmiao, and others do not know the details, and they have good words and comfort, but they cannot say the crux of the matter; Zijuan accompanies them for a day, and they don't know much about their hearts, but when they take a handkerchief to wipe their tears, they just take out an old handkerchief that is commonly used at home—— how can Daiyu not recognize that this is a gift from Baoyu at the beginning? Because he is easy to cry on weekdays, others are advised not to cry, but Baoyu said, "The troubles and worries are just shed with tears, just don't keep them in your heart". Seeing things and thinking about people, Daiyu saw this old pa, thousands of thoughts, and poured into her heart together, until her mouth was full of sorrow and resentment, and finally condensed into words, sprayed out of the pen, blood and tears, and turned into these twenty-eight words——

However, who would have thought that just because of his own agitation, the manuscript of the poem fell into Zhang Hui's hands before it could be put away! At that time, Zhang Hui came in, and he had no other intentions, but the future husband said kind words in front of him, and then thought of Baoyu's feelings, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. But it was this momentary thought that caused an uproar. Seeing that the eyes have always been gentle and considerate, loving and cherishing, making people look at them like a spring breeze, suddenly as if swept by the autumn wind, withered and cold, dim and lifeless, suddenly Lin Daiyu's heart seemed to be tightly grasped in her hands, and it was like watching the sheep fat jade broken and the rhombic flower mirror broken, and her sadness and regret were even more difficult. Although he knew that Zhang Hui was a misunderstanding, he could explain sincerely and reveal it, but just seeing that he was struck by lightning at this moment, he was sad and desperate, and he didn't know what to say.

When Zhang avoided leaving, he slipped and fell in the yard, and Daiyu woke up like a dream, and he was concerned about whether Zhang Hui fell and how the pain was, as long as he rushed to check it immediately. Then after being persuaded by everyone, Mama Wang volunteered to go on her behalf, and the maids pulled back to the house to sit, Lin Daiyu suddenly realized at this time - such a disregard for everything, it is for love, the pain of the other party is like his own body, and the pity and pity are even more than his own body, because the two people's minds are already one person.

However, both of this perception and seeing the old handkerchief given by Baoyu, he was even more sad and heartbroken: although he understood his own thoughts, Zhang Hui here would have misunderstood his own thoughts; When it is necessary to explain in words, the matter involves the secret intentions and private affairs of the children, and the more it is described, the more suspicious it becomes; when those who want to clear themselves up, without words and justifications, they will also bury a serious accident, even if the two marriages are prematurely decided, how can they expect to know each other tacitly in the future? In such a dilemma, no matter how clever and clever she is, she will not be able to think of a comprehensive method for a while. What's more, the more I think about it, the more hopeless I feel, and when I have to ignore it, I first cover my head and cry, only to suddenly realize that I can't move, and my eyes are dry and tears are dry - at this point, Daiyu is not afraid: in such a situation, it is better to die and end everything cleanly.

Daiyu was full of cranky thoughts, but there was a burst of human footsteps outside, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Zhang Hui slamming into the curtain and coming in. The head and face were covered with snow foam, and when they were smoked by the heating in this room, they turned into water in an instant, and their hair, face, shoulders, and backs of their clothes were soaked. Zhang Hui didn't care about it, until Lin Daiyu came to him, and with a "plop", his two knees fell to the ground, and he said: "It's me who is wrong!

was so frightened that Lin Daiyu suddenly lost her color, and the people around her flew away. Seeing this situation, the first action was to drag the two people at the door to the door, and then the maids and grandmothers were driven away, leaving only Daiyu and Zhang Hui in the house. Zhang Hui took another step forward and said, "It's me who is wrong! I shouldn't have thought wrong, and I shouldn't have turned around and ran, leaving my sister alone." ”

Lin Daiyu took a sharp breath, only to feel that her eyes and ears, mouth, tongue, hands, feet and limbs all regained consciousness, and in the blink of an eye, tears flowed straight down, and she choked in her mouth: "Brother get up and speak." ”

Zhang Hui got up as he said, glanced at the side of the case, grabbed a one-foot-long bamboo paperweight, handed it to Daiyu, and opened the palm of his hand in front of Daiyu, and said: "My sister's thoughts, others don't know, how can I not know? What about those other people, what do they have to do with my sister? I thought crankily and broke my sister's heart." I just begged my sister to beat me so hard that I never remembered the stupid thing I did. ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was bitter and happy, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with tears in her eyes: "My brother really knows me, how can he bear to ask me to beat you? Could it be that if I hurt you, I can be ignorant?"

Zhang Hui saw that she skimmed Zhuzhen, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and was so panicked that she touched her sleeve. However, although the handkerchief is his daily preparation, he will be flustered and can't find it for a long time. glanced at it, and suddenly saw the handkerchief pressed under the book on the case, grabbed it and stuffed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu was stuffed with a handkerchief by him, and when he got to his hand, he knew that it was the old handkerchief, and he looked up in shock, but his eyes were full of concern, and then he looked at his cuffs, and he didn't know when he hung out a small handkerchief corner. Daiyu's heart was sweet, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter, and stretched out her hand to pull out the handkerchief and give it to Zhang Hui: "Brother also wipes his face." And the hair and the clothes on his body were soaked in snow, and they didn't know that it was cold. After wiping away all his tears, he came over to help Zhang Hui clean up his head and face, and raised his voice to call Zijuan and wait for the maid to come in.

Zhang Hui had to wipe her sideburns and neck with her own hands, her closeness was unprecedented, a heart was only happy as if in the clouds, her eyes looked straight at Daiyu, she only felt that her eyebrows, lips, nose, ears, jaws and necks were all beautiful, joys, grievances, sorrows, and smiles were all moving, and her eyes and hearts on heaven and earth, since this moment, have been occupied by this woman, which is really natural and justified.

He didn't know that he was staring at it so stupidly, and a fire had already risen in his eyes, which made Daiyu a mixture of joy and sorrow: it turned out that this affection, I don't know how to be suppressed by Zhang Hui, so I made a consistent Sven Winton. Since he had such affection, he had just misunderstood the blow, and the pain must have been very deep, so how could people not feel sorry for him? The two love each other naturally made people infinitely happy, but it was so frank and straightforward, and it made people shy and afraid, lest they be laughed at by others—so Daiyu turned and went to the inner room, leaving only the maids to help dry her hair and robe.

Zhang Hui was suddenly walked away by her, caught off guard, and was in a daze, when he saw Daiyu walking out with a bag of things in her hand. When he came to him, Jun blushed, pushed the thing into his hand, and said, "Go to the next room and change this." ”

Zhang Hui shook it up, only to know that it was a brand-new cotton robe, and immediately smiled, "Thank you, sister!" changed for a while, and turned around twice in front of Daiyu to show her. Daiyu saw that the left armpit was slightly empty, and her face faded. Seeing this, Zhang Hui hurriedly stretched out his hand and compared, and said, "It's only half an inch." The eldest sister makes clothes for me, for example, it is eight points off. ”

Daiyu couldn't help but smile and said, "If you dare to say this in front of your big sister, I will obey you." ”

Zhang Hui didn't answer, just checked everywhere on his body, stroked and smoothed the leader's hem and so on. Touching the belly, he smiled: "It's a little bigger here." I probably haven't eaten dinner yet. ”

Daiyu suddenly asked, "Brother didn't even eat?" and showed an apologetic look.

Zhang Hui smiled: "The belt is getting wider, and I work hard to add food." My sister should also encourage me. So I asked Mama Wang to talk to Mama: "Go to the kitchen and get our dinner." After making such a long time, I probably got the porridge and gnocchi soup. ”

When I got dinner at one time, sure enough, the staple food was the same japonica rice porridge boiled with beef lettuce, shiitake mushrooms and carrots, and the same five-color gnocchi soup made with vegetable juice and noodles. Zhang Hui said to Daiyu: "I heard that my sister doesn't want to eat. Please Aunt Yu made this, and two bites of hot food are enough. ”

Daiyu was grateful in her heart, and she cried for a while before, and she was also hungry in her stomach, so she ate the usual amount. provoked Zhang Hui to ask for a good deal, and called the soup to cancel the food. Daiyu couldn't help but say, "No matter how busy my brother is, I won't dare to eat together in the future." Zhang Hui stopped smiling at this time.

After sitting for a while, Zhang Hui said goodbye. parting and repeatedly told Daiyu: "Uncle Lin is coming from the palace, I'm afraid it's going to be late." It's snowing and cold, my sister rests early, don't worry, I'm naturally guarding outside. Daiyu nodded, wrapped a cloak and a snow hat for him with her own hands, and sent it all the way to the courtyard gate, before returning to the room to rest. It's night, there's nothing to say.

But it was said that the Wenzhao Mansion was here. Due to the heavy snow that night, Zhang Li and Chen were older, and they felt more tired as a guest one day, so they all washed and slept early. Yin also watched the children rest, and checked the door everywhere before returning to his own courtyard. When Zhang Kui saw her coming, he knew that it was okay to come late, so he smiled and urged him to rest: "Nai Nai is tired for a day, so quickly clean up the house and slow down." ”

Yin Shi sighed and said, "Don't be busy." There are also things to discuss with the fourth master. ”

When Zhang Kui heard this, he knew that it was a serious matter, and said with a smile: "It's more comfortable to clean up this side and talk about it." ”

When Yin saw it, he had to accept his kindness. I washed and changed my clothes according to my words. After cleaning up, they came to the inner room, and the husband and wife each held a hand stove and tilted on the warm couch left and right, and then they spoke. What exactly is being said, let's see how to break it down next time.

The author has something to say: Lin Daiyu's "Three Uniques of the Title: Tears in the eyes are empty, tears are hanging down, who is it for the secret and idle?

One word has been changed here.
