In the evening, as soon as Lu Jing returned to the Qincha station, Lu Lian handed over a few letters and replied, "This is the letter I just received. ”

Lu Jing returned to the bedroom after taking it and opened them one by one, and saw that Daiyu, Yinglian, and Baoqin each wrote a book, so he first opened Daiyu's letter, and saw that it was written that everything at home is fine, don't worry about it, etc., and finally wrote two poems:

One

Whoever turns the desolate song of Yuefu, the wind is also Xiao Xiao, the rain is also Xiao Xiao, and the lights are thin and the lights are all night.

I don't know what's lingering, I'm bored when I wake up, I'm bored when I'm drunk, have I ever been to Queqiao in my dream?

Second

In the west corner of the jade hall, there are a few smoke willows, don't worry about sitting alone in the window, how can you bear such ecstasy? At the bottom of the flower, ask the two birds, where the courtyard is still the same, always sit down, after the small courtyard is quiet, remember to join hands, the cloister tells you, and says goodbye to the lovesick red beans.

After reading it, Lu Jing couldn't help but see the sad autumn rain, the autumn wind, Daiyu was bored, her expression was sad, guarding the window, sitting alone until the night, and the thoughts and worries about Daiyu in her heart were even worse, and she couldn't help but sigh to the moon: "Therefore, I look for it in my dream, and my dream is not a lamp and an ember." ”

sighed with emotion, opened Yinglian's letter again, and saw that only one poem was written on it:

The autumn flowers are bleak and the autumn grass is yellow, and the courtyard is deep and the lights are cool.

The golden toad bends the small eyebrows, and the evening breeze hates the long clouds.

After another lovesick feeling, he immediately opened Baoqin's letter and saw that the opening chapter was also a poem:

It is difficult to write about the heartfelt feelings, and it is difficult to say a thousand things in the heart.

If you want to ask the best time, you will be ashamed to open your mouth, and come to the bright moon for the reunion later.

After Lu Jing saw it, he thought of Baoqin's shadow, and decided to wait for this time to go back and put Baoqin into the door, and looked at the content behind it, and was a little surprised that Baochai actually returned to Jiangnan because of Xue Pan's matter.

According to the date mentioned in Baoqin's letter, now Baochai should have arrived in Jinling, and I can't help but be a little worried, Xue Pan was sent to Hanhai Country a few days ago, and Xue Zhen and Baoqin are in Beijing in the Xue family's lineage, I don't know if Baochai can deal with those side clansmen of the Xue family.

After disturbing his thoughts for a long time, Lu Jing unfolded the paper and replied to several people.

Just when Lu Jing wrote a reply, thousands of miles away in the capital Lu Mansion, Xue Baoqin came to Nuan Yutang to see Daiyu.

Xue Baoqin saw Daiyu leaning on the kang with lack of interest, so she wanted to walk over to tease her, and saw a piece of gold paper on the desk, which read: "Sleep in autumn, the weather is sleepy, and you can solve it occasionally." ”

Separately, it was written:

When there are not many tricks, Xizhu bought it for the first time, and the blue night is in full swing. Yesterday's wind and rain, the magpie bridge in the dream is still there, Luo Wei is lazy, and he is a scoundrel.

Xue Baoqin looked at it and asked, "It's only half a run, why is it here?" ”

Lin Daiyu was thinking about whether Lu Jing had received the letter, and when she saw Baoqin coming, she got up and said, "It's been a few days, I can't take it, my sister will continue it for me!" ”

Xue Baoqin nodded, then picked up the pen and continued:

I woke up from a nap, and I stayed with a slight belt, not hesitating to take a placket, and my eyebrows were daisy. The sun is too high, the parrot brother outside the curtain steals the monster, hurts the heart, and the autumn breeze solves.

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly after reading it and said: "My sister's style of words is similar to mine, if my husband reads it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tell who wrote it." ”

Xue Baoqin smiled and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw another poem, so he picked it up and watched:

The curtain shadow is heavy, the smoke is slight, the rain leakage is late, the small courtyard is deep in spring, and the people are quiet and the swallows are amphibious. A blue screen window covers, tassels and silver garlic are light and heavy. It's just that a wisp of incense can't be turned off, and it comes out of the boudoir.

After reading it, Xue Baoqin saw that Daiyu's recent poems were a little poignant, so she persuaded: "If my sister feels lonely, I will call Zhiyu, Yinglian, Wen'er, and Qi'er to accompany my sister." ”

Lin Daiyu hurriedly grabbed her, shook her head slowly, and said: "If people are not lonely, they are not lonely when they stay alone, if they are lonely, even if they are accompanied by a hundred people, they are also lonely, and this loneliness does not depend on the number of people." ”

Xue Baoqin naturally knew that Daiyu missed Lu Jing in her heart, but if she continued like this, it would be unfavorable to her health, so she persuaded: "I know my sister's thoughts, but my sister also has to take care of her body, if he comes back and sees that her sister is sick and thin, won't he feel even more distressed?" ”

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”

Xue Baoqin proposed again: "Why don't we invite those sisters in the Rong Mansion to have a poetry meeting?" ”

Lin Daiyu thought of her husband's parting entrustment, so she refused: "Forget it, if there is a gathering, there will be dispersion, and when you get together, you will be happy, and when you disperse, won't it be cold?" It is not as good as not gathering, for example, when the flowers bloom, it is admirable, and when they are grateful, they are melancholy, so it is better not to bloom. ”

Xue Baoqin gave up this idea when he heard this, and was thinking about how to relieve Daiyu's boredom, when Daiyu asked, "Sister, can you continue to tell me about what you have seen and heard in Zhenzhen Country, Hanhai Country and other places?" ”

When Xue Baoqin asked, he told Daiyu about a girl he saw in Zhenzhenguo: "When I was eight years old, I went with my father to buy foreign goods along the West Sea, and I saw a girl from Zhenzhenguo, who was only fifteen years old, and her face was the same as the beauty in the Western painting, with golden hair and tie down. ”

"The head is full of coral, cat's eyes, emeralds and other gemstones, wearing gold silk brocade sleeves, and the sword is also inlaid with gold inlaid treasures, even the paintings are not as good-looking as her, and she is familiar with Chinese poetry and books, can speak the Five Classics, and can write poems and lyrics, so my father annoyed a general officer, annoyed her to write a word, and what she wrote was a poem she wrote."

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised when she heard this, so she smiled and said, "I will listen to her poems if you read them out." ”

Xue Baoqin nodded and said:

Zhu Lou dreamed last night, and tonight the water country sings.

The island clouds steam the sea, and the lan air connects the jungle.

The moon has no present and ancient, and the love is shallow and deep.

Hannan spring calendar, I don't care.

Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "It's hard for her, but she is better than many talents." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Xue Baoqin accompanied Daiyu to sleep together.

At this moment, Xue Baochai, who was in Jinling, was sleeping sadly in front of the lonely lamp night moon, and couldn't help but whisper:

Acacia is full of paper, and read the poems carefully. The leaves fall in the autumn wind and the golden house, the lonely clouds on the tile, the autumn water is gloomy, the waist is thin, and the skirt is covered. The peach blossom door is small, the slender window, and the red mansion hugs the stream. Speechless, he quietly leaned on the railing, facing Bao Toad, vaguely thinking that a gentleman was like a jade. In the past year, the pipe flute has been blowing for a year, and it is a blessing to count the mandarin tent and Luan.

Yesterday, Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue and other servants returned to Jinling, Xue Baochai has learned that his brother was sent overseas, and his brother's attitude towards his sister-in-law has also changed after this incident, although he doesn't know how Lu Jing did it, but he feels that it is a good thing that his brother can accept his sister-in-law.

Ying'er heard the words and sentences chanted by Baochai, and knew in her heart that the girl was thinking about Lord Lu again, and since she stepped into Jiangnan, she had been listening to Lord Lu's case all the way, especially being known as the jade-faced blue sky, and her heart was also very recognized by the girl's choice of Lord Lu for Baoyu, but she still couldn't help worrying about what would it be if the girl married her, and after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't understand, so she didn't think about it anymore, and left it to the girl Lord Lu to solve it.

Lu Jing stayed in Pizhou for seven days, and after dealing with all the affairs of the state capital, he set off for the next stop.
