The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Lin Daiyu came back to her senses, seeing that it was Yinzhen, she hurriedly wanted to worship, but was stopped by Yinzhen: "There is no need to be too polite."

Lin Daiyu closed the book in her hand, but she was surprised to see the corners of the mouth of this elder brother who was always serious, and the arc disappeared in a flash, as if she was dazzled.

Yinzhen endured it, but he couldn't hold it back, and said, "Miss Lin, your nose is covered with ashes."

Lin Daiyu blushed, and hurriedly wiped it with her hands, but she touched a dusty book just now, and there was more dust in her hand, and now her nose was even dirtier.Seeing that the little girl was dazed and cute, Xu Zhen didn't realize that the corners of her mouth were raised higher, and handed over the handkerchief she was carrying with her.

Lin Daiyu took the handkerchief and wiped her face and hands. The duck egg green plain handkerchief was already dirty, so she was embarrassed to return it to others, so she put it in her purse: "I will return it to Fourth Master after I wash it later."

Yinzhen didn't care much, and said, "Miss alone?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Elder brother is looking for younger brother. I'll wait here."

Yinzhen nodded, and asked: "It's very hard to find here, how did the girl find it?" Even if he lived in Beijing like this, it took him several years to discover this shop.

"Didn't Fourth Master find it too? What's more, the books here are very interesting to me."

The fourth elder brother has never been a talkative person, but he is in a good mood today, and it is the New Year's Eve. He seems to be infected by the laughing crowd on the street, and he talks a lot. He tells Lin Daiyu the reason for this shop. .

"Look at this street, it's narrow and dirty. It's full of traffickers, pawns and poor people. There's a bookstore in this corner. Ordinary people can't see it, or they can see it, but they're not book lovers. Those who are well-known and famous are not willing to come here, and only some low-level scholars are willing to come to this store. They are poor and have no money to buy books, so they come here to rent books; or they are poor but cannot afford books. Then sell the book to the shopkeeper in exchange for the book, or get some money; or consign some calligraphy and painting."

Lin Daiyu said: "So that's the case. No wonder there are manuscript books."

Yinzhen laughed and said: "The owner of the shop is a poor scholar with soft ears. He is alone and has no family members. I heard from him that this shop originally sold fish, and his family property was stolen by relatives, but he looked down on his family's collection of books. , only left him this small shop and a room full of books, and he just nestled here, eating fish and selling books."

Lin Daiyu glanced at the scholar who had been buried in his book, and said, "He's very easy going."

Yinzhen said: "Look at him, he looks stupid, but he is actually a pig and a tiger. Once he exchanged a book of poems for my "Picture of Snow in Guanshan". How treacherous!"

When Lin Daiyu went to see the scholar again, she felt that he was very bold and courageous: "Fourth master is willing to suffer?"

Yinzhen whispered: "The emperor loves Dong Xuanzai the most, how dare I draw his paintings without permission. I was still young at that time, so I specially asked the emperor to come."

Lin Daiyu was speechless for a while, compared with Dong Qichang's original paintings, the value of today's paintings is not much different, okay?

Yinzhen rubbed his nose and said, "Don't tell anyone else." No one else knew about this matter, but today he unknowingly told the little girl, and he lost his face when it spread.

Lin Daiyu said: "Since the fourth master doesn't want people to know, he shouldn't say it. Now that he has said it, he doesn't want people to know?" Some words of the Passover are spoken without thinking.

Kangxi once taught Yinzhen to be quick-tempered, so his attitude towards others has always been serious and steady, but this bookstore is his secret and a place where he can let go of his guard, so he said something that he would never say normally.He said: "Of course, I don't want others to know about the past. I'm telling you because I trust you. If you tell me, I should be disappointed in you."

Lin Daiyu said: "I dare not let you down. If I were a man, I would definitely invite fourth master as my friend."

Who would dare to say such a thing to the fourth elder brother?I don't know if Lin Daiyu is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, or if she is serious and straightforward.No one has ever said that to Yinzhen, so he was very happy, the serious mask on his face was broken all of a sudden, and he also smiled, not a reserved smile, but a grin, revealing the neat and white teeth in his mouth, Two pointed but not protruding small canines add to his cuteness.

Lin Daiyu was surprised to find that the fourth elder brother is majestic and awe-inspiring when he is not smiling, but he immediately becomes very cute and amiable when he smiles. At this time, he looks like a 19-year-old young man who has not reached the weak crown, which is really incredible.

"If you are a man, it would be my honor to be your friend." Yinzhen likes this little girl very much, she is smart, courageous and brave, and rarely likes books. If she is a man, she must not be underestimated in the future, but she is born It's a pity for a daughter's family.

A voice came: "Fourth Young Master, you are here."

Yinzhen said: "Well, let's see if Brother Qian starved to death." This poor scholar actually has a surname that doesn't suit him.

Lin Daiyu took the unfinished travel note, found two more, and put them on the counter, inevitably raising a wave of dust: "How much is it, please?"

Qian Shusheng squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Daiyu: "Three books, a total of ten taels of silver."

Lin Daiyu was taken aback: "So expensive?"

Qian Shusheng said: "These three books are not for sale. I have to wait for me to copy them and send them to your mansion. The price for the books plus the money for the copying will naturally not be cheap." He thought for a while and said: "But If you have a similar manuscript to exchange with me, I'll give you the original."

Lin Daiyu thought to herself that this was the case, no wonder the fourth elder brother begged the Holy Master to copy the painting in exchange for the book, so she said, "Then when will you finish copying?"

Qian Shusheng yawned, and said slowly: "I can't say for sure, maybe three to five days, maybe three to five months. Unfortunately, I have a cold illness today and tomorrow, and I can't finish copying in three to five years." Then he put away those three books, squinted his eyes and touched the one he was reading before, and sank into the book again.

Lin Daiyu stomped her feet: "Are you doing business like this?" After thinking about it for a while, she said, "Forget it, you don't need to copy it. I'll send someone to exchange the handwritten book for you tomorrow." She didn't want to return empty-handed. Picking up a scroll on the bookshelf, he asked, "Is this painting not for sale?"

Qian Shusheng squinted his eyes and looked at the painting carefully: "That pair of words is worthless, so I gave it to you for nothing."

Lin Daiyu was amazed. When she opened the scroll, she saw that there were two stacked words in the scroll. The inscription "Praise is worthy of heaven and earth, praise and criticism have their own spring and autumn", is a couplet, and there is no title under the couplet.The whole set of writing was smooth and steady. Lin Daiyu looked at it, and the kind of heartiness that rushed to her face went straight to her heart. For some reason, she suddenly felt her heart beat faster, as if she personally felt the emotion in this person's heart when writing, the gully in her chest and his heart. The most vivid and vivid.

This feeling was only for a moment, but Lin Daiyu was already full of emotions, and stood there for a long time without moving.Looking at the calligraphy again after regaining consciousness, although there are deficiencies, it is by no means "worthless" as Qian Shusheng said. For some reason, Lin Daiyu was a little unhappy.

A word, a scroll of painting, a piece of music, no matter whether his skills are exquisite or not, the essence is always only the word artistic conception. Once the artistic conception of this word is achieved, it is enough, and the others are secondary things.

In Lin Daiyu's eyes, Qian Shusheng, who said that his paintings were not good, became disgusting again and again.

Lin Daiyu showed the calligraphy and painting to the two of them: "Where are these words worthless? I think they are better than the ones hanging in your shop."

When Yinzhen saw the word, his face changed a little, and he gave Qian Shusheng a glare.

Qian Shusheng said: "When I say it's worthless, it means it's worthless. It looks like it was written by a young and inexperienced person. The idea is vulgar, and the words are ugly. Ugly and ugly! Vulgar and vulgar!"

Lin Daiyu said: "Although I don't know the name of this person, but when he writes, every word comes from the heart. Although he is more violent than soft, he is better than most people in the world. , I also understand how can you slander him because of his heroic spirit?" This power seems to belong to a young man, but could it be that a young man has such passionate feelings?In front of him, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to call herself illiterate.

Qian Shusheng said: "When this man brought the calligraphy and painting for consignment, his face was proud and arrogant, and his mouth was cheap. He derogated the calligraphy and painting in my shop to nothing. I can't understand him, so he won't accept a penny. If you Give it to me, I'd rather not sell you."

Yinzhen's complexion became subtle. When he looked at Qian Shusheng, he was ashamed and angry, but when he looked at Lin Daiyu again, he suddenly turned soft again.

Lin Daiyu didn't see it, and she wholeheartedly argued against Qian Shusheng: "He is talented, so he should be proud."

Qian Shusheng said: "Since you love him, why don't I give you the words for nothing?"

Lin Daiyu said: "I like this calligraphy and painting very much, but since this gentleman sent it on consignment, he must be short of some money. I knew it but didn't give it. What if he has no money to eat and dress?"

Qian Shusheng curled his lips and said, "He won't starve to death, don't worry."

Lin Daiyu thought for a while: "You scholar is a stubborn ass, and I can't argue with you. Forget it, if you see that gentleman next time and have no money, please let me know, or help me advance him some money, I will give you money." It must be paid back."

Qian Shusheng nodded impatiently and casually: "You little girl is so annoying, hurry up and go away." He buried his head and ignored people again.
