The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather turns cold, and the maids have to sweep away many fallen leaves every day, and the lotus leaves in the pond are ruined and look decayed.

The lotus leaves in Lin's mansion were not cleared out because the second master Lin Qiong refused to let them.Chahar asked him the reason, Lin Qiong hesitated for a long time, and said "leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of rain", Chahar laughed that he didn't stay at home all day, how could he have time to listen to the rain, but in the end he still stayed. The residual load was dropped.

When all the flowers are gone, Lin Qiong asks someone to plant various kinds of chrysanthemums and place them in the courtyard to smell the fragrance together with Osmanthus osmanthus.

September is the season to hold claws to appreciate osmanthus. As a foodie, Lin Qiong will not let it go. He asked the manager of the business to bring fat crabs. When they were delivered to the house, the crabs were still alive and well, making everyone a feast for the eyes. , Even Aunt Wei got a lot.

Chahar was very happy, and said that he wanted to find a day to entertain his acquaintances to eat crabs and appreciate chrysanthemums, and everyone had no objection.Since Lin Hai's release and Jia Min's death, the Lin family's relationship with other families has faded, and they only give gifts at festivals and festivals.

Lin Daiyu seldom shows up in the circle of aristocratic women in the capital, and she knows very few people. It will be good for her in the future to have the Chahar family introduce her to make acquaintances.

So how important is the lady's diplomacy.

Originally, the Chahar family invited all their old friends and colleagues from Lin Hai, all of whom were from the noble and scholarly family of the court, but they didn't expect that the Crown Princess Shi would also come today.

Shi took the seat at the table, praised Lin Daiyu a few words, and gave a set of pearl headgear as a meeting gift. The light golden pearls embedded in the jewelry were shiny and translucent, covered with a layer of colorful halo.

Such a face, even if there is money and power, can't wear it, only a handful of people in the imperial city are worthy of it.

The orders filled with fancy dresses glanced at the box again and again, feeling a little sore for a while, and thinking about it again, the girl from the Lin family is going to marry Sibeile, shouldn't such an object be worn by others.

Shi's smile became more gentle, and said to Lin Daiyu: "I feel kind to my sister when I see it. If she likes something small, she can play with it."

Lin Daiyu bowed her head slightly, and declined: "The Crown Princess gave it, it shouldn't be given, but it's too precious, not to mention, it's also against the law."

Shi Shi said: "Giving you off is not a violation of the rules, my good sister, just keep it, or are you alienated from me and unwilling to accept my gift?"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly said she didn't dare, and asked Dong Jing to take it.

It should be said that she is indeed a crown princess, Shi Shi calmly dealt with it among a group of wives and girls, not only has the noble air of the royal family, but also is gentle and appropriate.

"The Crown Princess has a sharp bearing," a lady in a purple robe whispered, "It's a pity that her appearance can't be called first-class."

"Shh." The other person hastily winked her to shut up, how could such a thing be said?However, it is true that there are few good-looking banner women, and the higher the family background, the less good-looking banner women are, which directly leads to the mediocre appearance of almost all the prince Fujin, only the eighth Fujin stands out from the crowd.

"Although Miss Lin is young, her bearing is no different from that of the Crown Princess." A lady interjected, "I have never seen a girl who is so calm and calm at the age of nine, and her appearance is also top-notch." Pay attention to women's virtues and family background, but the bad nature of men, who doesn't like beautiful women?

Everyone listened and nodded.

Lin Daiyu was chatting and joking among a group of ladies from aristocratic families, and when she noticed the gazes on her, she kept calm and discussed with the girl next to her the fashionable clothes and jewelry this year.

This group of girls from the scholarly families behaved elegantly and quietly, and when they talked about poetry and songs, they were all very good, and they treated each other with courtesy.Lin Daiyu started talking with two or three girls who liked each other, and they agreed to call Xia Man, Zhao Shuang, and Wu Chunyun with whom they would be in frequent contact in the future.

A girl with almond-shaped eyes and a sharp chin used her eyes to goug Lin Daiyu from time to time. At first, when Lin Daiyu looked back, she dodged, but then she became more and more angry for no reason, and looked at Lin Daiyu staring at her, filled with righteous indignation.

Not counting her previous life, Lin Daiyu has never seen anyone who unabashedly disliked her except for the eight blessings in this life, and she is not someone who likes to wrong herself, so she asked her directly: "Miss Zhang, what's wrong? Is there something for you to look at?"

The girl surnamed Zhang snorted disdainfully and turned away.Everyone who sits on it is not surprised, and is farther away from the girl surnamed Zhang without showing any trace.

Xia Man quietly said to Lin Daiyu: "Zhang Yuning has always been eccentric. In the past, only the elder sister of the Gu family was willing to take care of her. Later, when the elder sister of the Gu family was ill, who would play with her? I don't know what medicine I took wrong today."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu asked, "Which sister of the Gu family?"

Wu Chunyun said: "It's Sibeile's master, Gu Taiqing, the only daughter of Master Gu's eighth generation."

Lin Daiyu nodded, understanding why Zhang Yuning gave her a look, and couldn't help but laugh.Forget it, just ignore this person in the future.

After a while, a little girl with long hair came in from the pavilion and said something to Yue'er, and Yue'er whispered something in Chahar's ear.Chahar was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "Please come in quickly." He smiled to the ladies sitting around him: "A few guests are late, I will go and greet them."

In fact, the banquet was half over at this time, so there was no reason to be late at this time, everyone knew it well and didn't ask much.

After a while, the maids surrounded a large group of people and entered the flower viewing pavilion. It turned out that the three girls from the Jia family came, including Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun, and there were two maids serving behind each of them. , It is eye-catching.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu rushed forward and greeted several people. Jia Tanchun felt embarrassed, so he had to cover up by talking and laughing loudly: "Sister Lin, sisters are late, I apologize to you."

Chahar's face was speechless, it had stopped at first, why did he come here uninvited today... But it was the ancestral home of the two children, and they were shameless, but the Lin family could not throw this face in front of outsiders go.

"Yeah, I was wondering if you were tripped up by something."

Tanchun Luoluo said: "It's not that I got stuck. The grandma Xiaorong in the mansion over there called Lian's second sister-in-law to wait for her, but didn't want to coax us for a long time and tell people that we can't go away. We had no choice but to leave her alone, the sisters are here. I hope my wife will take pity on me, and don’t care about our sisters’ negligence.” Tanchun is intelligent, but she is a daughter who has not been married after all. He was very stiff, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, not daring to meet Lin Daiyu's eyes at all.

Suddenly an old woman came out of the girls of the Jia family to salute Lin Daiyu. It turned out to be Nanny Cui. She was Jia Min's nanny in the past.

Tanchun said: "I heard that our sisters were coming, so Mammy Cui asked her mother and grandmother to see her, and her mother took pity on her, so she let her come." Respect, it is normal for Mammy Cui to be able to move the master.

Nanny Cui said that she came to visit the little master, and Lin Daiyu thought about her late mother, so she gave her a lot of face.Mammy Cui said that she had brought a few homemade snacks, which Lin Daiyu loved to eat when she was a child. Lin Daiyu also thanked her and asked the girl to reward them.Aunt Cui burst into tears, pulling Lin Daiyu to talk about Jia Min's past for a long time.

Crown Princess Shi Shi saw the Yingchun sisters and beckoned them over to talk.Everyone in Beijing knows that the Jia family belongs to the crown prince, so it is normal for the Shi family to be close to the sisters of the Jia family.

Everyone sat down, and they gathered together in twos and threes to greet each other, and the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Lin Daiyu was about to leave when Shi Xiangyun grabbed the corner of her clothes. She smiled lightly and smartly: "Sister Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you don't miss me either."

Lin Daiyu sighed inwardly, and said, "Of course I miss Sister Shi."

Xue Baochai came over, and affectionately pulled the two of them to a secluded place to talk about themselves.Lin Daiyu was about to refuse, but seeing the attentive appearance of the two, she knew that she couldn't do it, so she braced herself to respond.

The ladies in the pavilion played the leaf cards, and the voices became louder, and the girls said they were going to take a walk in the garden. As the host, Lin Daiyu led a group of people to the garden.

At this time, the autumn wind is bleak, most of the flowers in the garden have withered, and the lake is full of decaying lotus, which is incomparable with spring and summer.Fortunately, the temperature of the sun on the face is suitable, which makes people very comfortable, and walking has become a good way to kill time.

The Lin family's gardens, pavilions, rockeries and streams seemed to be similar to those in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were extremely exquisite. After a while, people dispersed, and the Jia family sisters also went to play separately.Lin Daiyu was drowsy and tired from the sun, so she hid from the crowd and rested in a small pavilion.

This small pavilion faces the water on one side and a rockery on the other side, it is quite hidden, it is the place where Lin Daiyu and Yinzhen talked last time.When Lin Daiyu was sitting sideways by the railing, she couldn't help thinking of that incident in her heart, she felt embarrassed, and hurriedly covered her cheeks.

"You are here." A thin female voice.

Lin Daiyu opened her eyes, it turned out to be Zhang Yuning, "Miss Zhang." She nodded slightly and was about to leave, because she was disturbed to rest and felt uncomfortable.

Zhang Yuning would not let her go like this, and said angrily: "Some people really don't know what to do. Fortunately, Sister Gu treats her as a sister. I didn't expect to be such a sinister person."

Under Lin Daiyu's anger, her face turned cold: "What does Miss Zhang want to say?"

Zhang Yuning said: "Speak the truth."

Lin Daiyu said: "I would like to advise the girl, keep your eyes brighter, see clearly before you speak, don't be used as a gun for nothing." She almost pointed at Zhang Yuning's head and said she was stupid.

"Who are you talking about!" Zhang Yuning was furious: "What are you, dare to teach me!"

Zhang Yuning was about to pull Lin Daiyu's arm when he stepped forward, but Lin Daiyu didn't like her to touch it, so he took a step back to avoid it.Zhang Yuning was so spoiled, he couldn't tolerate anyone's disobedience, and insisted on dragging her, so the two became entangled.

Huatang went to Chuyu Pavilion to get tea and snacks for Lin Daiyu, hurriedly passed by the corridor, and accidentally raised his head and almost died of fright, the teapot in his hand shattered with a "bang", trotted with his skirt in hand, shouting to the people around him. "Come on, someone! Save the girl!" Huatang shouted, and quickly gathered a group of people.

This promenade is being built by the lake, and when you look up, you can just see the small pavilion to the north, above which Zhang Yuning is pulling Lin Daiyu's clothes, and Lin Daiyu's body is halfway out of the fence.

But even so, it was too late, Zhang Yuning wanted to hold Lin Daiyu as if he lost his mind, and put most of his weight on Lin Daiyu who was leaning back.How could Lin Daiyu bear it, she fell out of the pavilion, but Zhang Yuning was still pulling her clothes, so they both fell into the water.

Several strong women ran the fastest and quickly jumped into the lake to save people.

The two were rescued quickly, Lin Daiyu only choked on the water, but Zhang Yuning broke his head when he fell into the lake and fell into a coma.

In this season, the lake water is cold, and it is inevitable that the cold and evil will enter the body. Lin Daiyu was wrapped in a thick quilt and carried back to Chu Yuge.As for Zhang Yuning, many people saw her push Lin Daiyu into the lake with their own eyes, and even the Zhang family members didn't look good. They apologized to the Chahar family and took Zhang Yuning away in a hurry, regardless of whether she was ill or not. The turbulence.

Lin Daiyu choked on a few sips of water, and was frightened, making her whole body sleepy.Chu Yuge stood in a room full of wives and girls, comforting her one after another.

Chahar said: "The girl was frightened just now, let's move a little bit first and let the girl rest." Everyone nodded, and the room was instantly clean.

At this time, the imperial doctor hadn't arrived yet, so the doctor woman in the mansion felt Lin Daiyu's pulse and said, "There is a folk recipe that is most effective. Make a bowl of hot ginger tea for the girl to drink, so as to drive away the cold and evil spirits."

When Chahar heard this, he asked people to do it.

Lin Daiyu sweated under the blanket after drinking ginger tea, and said, "I made my wife worry."

Mrs. Chahar shook her head and cried: "Why did such a thing happen for no reason? I'm also to blame for my negligence. The girl must be fine, otherwise how can I explain to the master."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "It was an accident, Miss Zhang probably didn't expect such a thing to happen." She never mentioned Gu Taiqing.

Speaking of Zhang Yuning, Chahar's face turned cold, and he thought that a daughter of a small Hanlin family dared to be rampant with her girl, it was really boring.

Lin Daiyu's falling into the water was serious. The Lin family members, young and old, have all returned. Since they had invited the imperial physician, the palace probably knew about it.

When Lin Hai and his son came back, Lin Daiyu was still asleep, and when he woke up, the sky was dark.Lin Daiyu was sweating all over her head and body, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The bowl of ginger tea really contributed a lot.

"Winter scene." Lin Daiyu called out.

Dong Jing lifted the curtain and walked in, "Girl, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Lin Daiyu said: "I'm fine, but my body is sticky, prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

Dong Jing responded and gave orders to the little girl. When she came back, she brought a bowl of dark medicine and a bowl of white porridge.

"This is the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. The girl still has to drink several doses after eating the porridge."

Two girls from Painting Hall and Painting Fan came in, carefully checked Lin Daiyu's expression, and said with a sigh of relief, "Amitabha, fortunately, the girl is fine, otherwise we will die." Originally, Lin Daiyu should have a girl to serve her. It happened, but it was a coincidence that Zhang Yuning was not there, so Zhang Yuning took advantage of it. The girl Chu Yuge was considered dereliction of duty, so she was punished by Chahar's family.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm fine now."

Huafan muttered: "Such a big cause is nothing, so what is it?"

Although it was only September, a brazier was lit in the room for Lin Daiyu's body.When Lin Daiyu came out of the bath, Huatang took a soft cloth towel to wipe her hair, and took a thin quilt to cover Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu pretended to be angry: "It's too hot, don't want this." Huatang pretended not to hear.

Huafan was arranging Lin Daiyu's dowry, and was amused by the painting hall, and said: "Miss, please be honest, this time I would rather be hot than cold."

After stopping for a while, the painting fan suddenly came over with an exquisite wooden box and asked, "Miss, what should I do with the Dongzhu hair noodles given by the princess? Do you want to wear it?"

Lin Daiyu took the wooden box and opened it, picked up a hairpin to look at it under the lamp, and sighed: "Such a good thing is easy to give away, and the princess also has a heart."

Huatang brushed her hair carefully behind Lin Daiyu, and said, "Yes, it's a good set of Dongzhu jewelry. It's a pity that the color will become dark after a long time."

Lin Daiyu nodded, "Indeed." Just as she was about to close the box, she suddenly paused, picked up a red gold pearl phoenix hairpin from inside, and said, "There is a pearl missing from it."

"What?" The painting fan rushed over to take a look, but it was true, the silver hairpin was missing the largest bead, and only the red gold phoenix on the base and a bunch of small beads remained.The painting fan was taken aback, and said: "Could it be that the setting is not tight, where did it fall?" He hurriedly searched for the box, and Huatang also searched on the dressing table.

Lin Daiyu frowned, and tightened her hand holding the hairpin. The sharp phoenix feathers on the hairpin accidentally pricked her fair and delicate fingers. Her thumb was instantly pierced, and a bright red bead of blood forced out.

"Hiss," Lin Daiyu hissed softly, but the two maids in the room were too busy looking for Dongzhu, so they didn't notice, she wiped her thumb on the cloth towel, the wound was small, and the bleeding stopped quickly, Lin Daiyu didn't care much .

Because of the banquet in the mansion today, the four big girls around Lin Daiyu have been in and out, and Cui Nanny has come and walked around, the two stewardess wives have come, and the female guests have visited after Lin Daiyu fell into the water, Lin Hai and his son came.After all, the oriental pearl was still not found. There were too many people who came to Chu Yuge today, even if there were thieves, they couldn't find out. Mother Xu interrogated her for a long time, and Xinyi, who had been in the room for the longest time, didn't say anything about it.

Lin Daiyu finally said: "It's getting late today, I will report to my wife tomorrow and search again. You don't have to worry, I don't know how to wear this set of jewelry, even if I really lost a bead, it doesn't matter."

Mother Xu always felt that this matter was not that simple, but she couldn't explain why, fearing that people would say that she had alarmed the officials, so she promised to make a decision tomorrow.

Lin Daiyu sent the girl away, but felt tired again, yawned and fell asleep again.

Dong Jing walked in, and wanted to ask Lin Daiyu if she wanted some more porridge, but she felt strange when she saw that she had fallen asleep again.Lin Daiyu was sleeping when she came here, why did she go to bed so early today?Thinking of the many things to do today, Xu was exhausted, so he turned off the lights, lowered the tent, put out the brazier and took it away.

After dinner, Lin Qiong came to Chuyu Pavilion again, but saw that the lights in Lin Daiyu's bedroom had been turned off, and asked Xinyi who was guarding the door: "Are you girls asleep?"

Xinyi said: "Back to Second Master, the girl fell asleep at the second quarter of the next."

Lin Qiong nodded and asked her: "Young lady didn't say anything uncomfortable about her, did she?"

Xinyi shook her head, hesitated, and told Lin Qiong about the missing bead in the room.Suspicion arose in Lin Qiong's heart, and he only said, "I know. You send the jewelry to the Mingbian Hall later, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." It was just an oriental bead, and he could still find it, but This incident itself is unusual, and I don't know who is responsible for it.
