Chapter 2 Osmanthus Xia Family
Zijuan waited for Daiyu for a long time and didn't come back, and when she came out to look for it, she saw Daiyu turning in a circle in the shade of the flowers, and her eyes seemed to be straight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She hurriedly called "girl" and went over to hold Daiyu's hand.
Daiyu came to her senses and saw Zijuan, so she said, "Let's go back." ”
As he spoke, he recognized the way to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, raised his feet and walked forward quickly. Zijuan saw her cry in the morning, and just now she seemed to be stunned, for fear that something would be wrong with her, so she hurriedly followed up.
Back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu asked for a cup of tea, drank a few sips of Shun Qi, and slowly sobered up.
Most of the things in the dream are true, is this a coincidence? If this is the case, then Xue Baochai married Baoyu and lost his bad reputation, but ended up burning silk and dying?
As she thought, her heart calmed down. At this time, Zijuan hurriedly chased after her like her feet did not touch the ground, and she was tired of holding on to the door frame and gasping for a few breaths, and at this time she saw that her girl was sitting in the house eating tea, and she couldn't help but blame herself for being too careful. Zijuan went to fetch a bottle of candied fruit and said, "This is what Miss Xue asked her mother-in-law to send before, do you want to taste it?" ”
"Clamp one or two, it's hard for her to send it." Daiyu said. She looked at the candied fruit bottle, and suddenly remembered something about the Xue Mansion, and told Zijuan:
"You go to the box, see if there are any of my new sachets, whatever the style, and take a few and send them to Miss Xue, just say that I thank her and think about it from time to time."
Zijuan responded, and went to the box to find the handkerchief sachet. I heard Daiyu say again: "I heard someone say in a trance, the eldest brother of the Xue family has set a newcomer, you go to Xiangling for me to take a look." ”
On weekdays, Xue Baochai always asks someone to send some small things, and now it is normal for people to return a gift. Although Zijuan felt that Daiyu suddenly cared about the Xue family's family affairs, which was a little different from the past, she and Xiangling were also very good, so she responded.
Zijuan showed Daiyu the sachet and handkerchief she had found, and when she saw that she nodded, she carefully put it away, picked up some of the things she made on weekdays, took two of them, and prepared to send them to Xiangling. instructed Xue Yan to go to the house to beware of the girl calling someone, and went out of the corner gate of the Grand View Garden and went to the Xue Mansion.
After Daiyu went out from Zijuan, she remembered what happened before, but she was still a little flustered. At this time, Xueyan came in, and Daiyu asked her to take the plate of candied fruit to eat and play, but she put down the teacup, settled down, and went to a scripture.
The things in the dream were too terrifying, who would have thought that a huge Rongguo Mansion would wither? Besides, the old lady Su Ri regarded herself as a heart, and the sisters and Sister Feng also played well on weekdays, why did they end up lying alone in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion waiting to die, with only Zijuan serving by her side? Daiyu didn't believe it in her heart, and only felt that she had a nightmare. Now the matter of welcoming spring is against the dream again, which makes her frightened. Just write and meditate for the time being, kill some time by the way, and wait for Zijuan to ask about the Xue Mansion, and then make plans.
Three moments.
Sure enough, Zijuan returned. I didn't say a lot of thoughtful things to Xiangling, but I also found out that it was the young lady of the Xia family who was known as the "Osmanthus Xia Family". When Daiyu heard this, the heart she had put down just now rose again, and she asked tremblingly:
"But it's called Xia Jingui?"
Zijuan said, "But isn't it! It is said that her family is rich and rich, and dozens of acres of osmanthus are planted, and Miss Xia's name is Xia Jingui. ”
"You go down first!" Daiyu stiffened and said. Zijuan put the things down because he brought the return gift from Xue Baochai and the body sent by Xiangling.
Daiyu held on to the table and burst into tears. She went to lie on the couch with her clothes for a long time, and all the things in last night's nightmare seemed to be true, and the scenes came to her mind one by one. Daiyu wrapped in the quilt and sobbed silently, groggily asleep, and before she knew it, she came to another place in her dream.
It's a small courtyard with a green hill in the background. Daiyu pushed open the courtyard door and entered, and saw a literati in his forties, dressed in rather unruly clothes, sighing and going to a room in the west corner. Daiyu had the heart to ask him where this was, and she didn't care about the defense of men and women, so she hurriedly followed, but saw that the man had already closed the door.
Daiyu didn't push the door well, looked up, and saw a plaque hanging above, written as "Mourning Hongxuan", but there was a note on the door, with a "three" character written on it.
When she turned to the window, she saw that the down-and-out literati was writing hard, sometimes reciting two sentences, but what she said was "Jiafu", "Grand View Garden" and so on. Daiyu was suspicious in her heart, and was about to muster up the courage to ask, but she felt that someone was shaking her, and when she opened her eyes, it turned out that she was still in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"Sister Lin wrote the word for half a night, and she got up early in the morning, so let her sleep a little longer."
Daiyu listened to Zijuan and knew that it was Baoyu who came to shake her, so she refused to pay attention to him in her heart, and still closed her eyes and kept her mind. Baoyu sat for a while, and reluctantly told "Good life to take care of Sister Lin" and went back to Yihong Courtyard. Zijuan hurriedly sent it out, and when she came back, she saw that Daiyu had woken up.
Daiyu leaned on the collapse and thought quietly, went to the bottom of the box and turned out a box with gold silk inlaid jade that Lin Ruhai handed her before the funeral.
She remembered that this box was Jia Min's relic, and she was afraid to look at it for fear of seeing things and thinking about people. When I turned it out at this time, it was actually because I experienced a nightmare and my mood changed.
She instructed Zijuan: "If anyone comes to ask, just say that I am asleep." So he ordered her to cover the door and lower the curtains.
As soon as the lid of the box opened, the first thing that caught my eye was a letter, on which was Lin Ruhai's handwriting. Daiyu's eyes were red, she picked up the letter and read it, which said that she would hand over some of the silver coins from the field shop to Jia Lian and bring them back, part of which would be given to Jiafu, and part of which would be temporarily managed by Jiafu; He also wrote that Jia Mu and others had verbally promised the family affairs of Bao Dai and the others. All kinds of things have been explained here.
Daiyu looked at it, and her eyes were hazy with tears. She thought that what she ate and lived was all the expense of Jia Mu and others, so she was careful in everything, lest someone pick out the wrong child. Now I know that all kinds of things have been explained by my deceased father, and I can't help but feel sad. After crying for a long time, Daiyu hurriedly put the letter away, and looked carefully at the jewelry in the box, which was carefully collected by Jia Min on weekdays, and each piece was distinct. She also put it back in the previous place and called Zijuan to fetch water to wash her face and even her face.
After packing up, Daiyu didn't want Zijuan and the others to follow, so she went to Wang Xifeng's side to discuss. Although Lin Ruhai did not specify in the letter, Daiyu expected to know that her dowry must be a lot, and if she gave out 5,000 taels of silver, and then asked Sister Feng to intercede with the old lady, it would always make Jia Yu change her mind.
As soon as she walked near Wang Xifeng's yard, Daiyu heard Wang'er beside Jia Lian talking to her mother-in-law outside the door. She stopped, only to hear Na Wang'er say: "Just two days ago, Gonggong Xia in the palace sent someone to fight the autumn wind, and our lord also said, where can I make another two or three million fortunes?" ”
The woman said something again, but she couldn't hear it clearly. When Daiyu heard this, her face changed, and she was puzzled. Over there, Wang'er and the mother-in-law talked a word, and then dispersed, but the mother-in-law turned her head to this side. Daiyu was afraid that she would be bumped into and overheard their conversation, so she hurriedly hid in the shade of flowers. When the mother-in-law passed, she didn't go to Sister Feng's yard and walked back slowly.
Let's say that Daiyu listened to Wang'er's words, her heart was cold, and she slowly walked back. There was a mother-in-law on the porch complaining about the reduction of the monthly money, and Daiyu listened to it in her heart, and she had more doubts.
She unconsciously returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zijuan hurriedly greeted her, looked carefully, and saw that the good eyes were not red and relieved.
