The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

When Daiyu arrived at Jia Mu's upper room, she saw that Jia Lian was there, with her hands down, listening to what Jia Mu said with a solemn and respectful expression, and she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, when Jia Mu raised her eyes and saw Daiyu coming in, she turned her two gray eyebrows into eight-character eyebrows, showing a bitter look, and said in a tearful voice, "My miserable Yu'er..."

Daiyu's feet went limp and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zijuan supported her.

As soon as Daiyu came to Jiamu's side, she was hugged into her arms by Jiamu, and then she swayed on the top of Daiyu's head, closed her eyes and opened her mouth and cried for a long time, which made Daiyu very anxious: "Father?" What happened over there, the grandmother just cried, but didn't explain the matter clearly, she was really anxious to death.

Daiyu said directly, "Grandmother, what's going on with my father? You should let me know first."

Only then did Mother Jia bring Lin Ruhai's letter, which had been put aside, to Daiyu.

The letter was written by Lin Ruhai himself, stating clearly that he was seriously ill, and begging Mother Jia to call a proper person to send Lin Daiyu back, etc., which meant that he could only let go after seeing his daughter for the last time.

Daiyu immediately burst into tears, and looked at her father's normally flamboyant and vigorous characters, which seemed to be so vigorous that they seemed to pass through the back of the paper, but this time they seemed limp and powerless, and even several strokes were not complete.Reminiscent of the scene where her father could barely hold a pen, Daiyu almost broke her heart and said with a sob, "Grandma, I want to go back to see my father, please let me set off early tomorrow morning."

Mother Jia coaxed Daiyu to say: "My dear Yu'er, it's too late to leave tomorrow morning. This trip will take at least a few months, and it will take a whole day to pack your luggage. Besides, you When I go back, I can only rest assured if I ask your second elder brother Lian to escort me all the way. He is a busy man, and there are so many things going on in this mansion. Which one is not handled by him and your second sister-in-law Lian? Before he left, You have to hand over a lot of things at hand first, and it’s not like you can leave just by walking.”

Daiyu was crying like a broken heart, and begged endlessly, only to leave earlier.Jia's mother had no choice but to say to Jia Lian: "Let's leave in two days. You should go back quickly and discuss with Brother Feng, and ask Brother Rong from the East Mansion to take care of everything you need to do on the scene. For the rest of the affairs in our mansion, let Brother Feng make up his mind."

Jia Lian continued to take orders and left.

Mother Jia comforted Daiyu again for a while, and she was tired, so she ordered Yuanyang to accompany Zijuan to send Daiyu back to her room.

Daiyu went back to her room, but she saw that Jia Baoyu, Jiafu Sanchun, Xue Baochai and others had been waiting there for a long time.When they saw Daiyu, everyone came up to welcome them, and they all asked with concern: "Sister Lin|Sister Lin, is Uncle Lin unwell? It should be fine, right?"

Daiyu had stopped crying, but when she was questioned by a group of people, she couldn't help crying again, her eyes were so red and swollen.

Everyone helped to persuade them for a while. Among them, Baoyu said a lot of sincere but useless nonsense, Sanchun also said a few words of comfort, and finally Baochai said: "We have said so much, but after all I can't help you a little bit, but it will make my sister upset. Why don't you go home first, tell your sister to be quiet and rest for a while. It's just that my sister must think about it by herself. Since Uncle Lin's condition is still uncertain, maybe my sister After returning home, Uncle Lin felt relieved, and the illness gradually recovered, and secondly, being sad is not a big deal, if Uncle Lin knew that my sister was like this, he would be even more worried."

Baoyu hurriedly interjected, "Three, if something happens to Uncle Lin, don't be afraid, sister, there are so many brothers and sisters who care about us."

In fact, what Baoyu meant was that others dare not say whether they care or not, but I care about Sister Lin the most, and I wish I could show my heart to Sister Lin.

Baochai was so anxious that she almost wanted to cover Baoyu's mouth: how could you say such a rash word?Uncle Lin is only critically ill, but you have a green mouth and white teeth talking about what happened to the master after his death. Isn't this a curse?

Sure enough, Daiyu was so angry that she trembled all over. She pushed Baoyu out hard, and said through gritted teeth, "Who wants you to care? If you don't care, I'm afraid we'll live longer."

Now everyone felt embarrassed, and Tanchun grabbed Baoyu, who was so anxious that his veins burst out and wanted to explain incoherently to Daiyu, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, it's useless to say anything now, Sister Lin is upset."

Only then did Baoyu follow the others helplessly and melancholy, feeling just uncomfortable in her heart: Even if I said something wrong because of impatience, sister Lin should also worry that I will be sincere for her!Forget it, she's feeling uncomfortable right now, maybe she won't be able to listen to what I have to say, so why not come back later.

After the crowd left, although Daiyu stopped crying, she sat blankly on the embroidered pier by the window, her arms resting on a round table with a marble top.

Zijuan came over several times and said, "Girl, go and lie down on the bed. This stone table is icy, so you are in good health. Don't catch the wind and cold again." Daiyu seemed to have never heard of it.

Zijuan had no choice but to gently push Daiyu's shoulders, crying, "Girl, don't be like this..."

At this moment, a youthful voice sounded outside, saying, "Sister Lin, I'm late!"

Zijuan hurriedly responded: "Third Master, it's good that you are here, help the servant girl to persuade the girl, it's okay to cry for a while, but the girl wants to sit in this cold place in a daze!"

Saying that, Zicuckoo walked away in peace, letting their siblings talk freely.

When Daiyu saw Jia Huan, she felt as if she had seen a relative. She grabbed his arm and wept uncontrollably. It took a long time for her to say a complete sentence: "My father...is going to be...not good..."

Jia Huan had already guessed what was going on, and he didn't use all kinds of language to widen Daiyu's heart like others did. Instead, he lowered his voice and said straightforwardly: "Don't cry, crying doesn't work. I There is a way to make Uncle Lin survive this disaster."

Daiyu's Hanlu eyes widened all of a sudden, her mouth opened in sudden surprise, she didn't know what to say.

Jia Huan said, "You don't believe me?"

Daiyu shook her head hastily.

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Look at your eyes crying like rabbits! If I come a little later, I don't know what it will be like!"

The sorrow, sorrow, and pain in Daiyu's heart were swept away immediately, she spat lightly, and said, "Did you do it on purpose? You knew I would cry, why didn't you come and tell me this important matter earlier?"

Jia Huan spread his hands and said, "I'm not a fortune teller, how did I know you're going to cry a lot today?"

After a while, Zijuan came over with a tray of red lacquer painted with golden begonia flowers in his hand. On the tray were two celadon teacups with ten kinds of brocades, and in the teacups were just brewed Junshan silver needles.Seeing that Daiyu was no longer as sad as before, and was talking to Jia Huan in a low voice, Zijuan laughed and said, "Third Master is the best way. Our girl was crying tears just now, Second Master Bao, Miss Bao and the other girls can't persuade me here, it will be fine once the third master comes."

Jia Huan then said: "Then don't you offer the best food here, and honor me, a great hero?"

Zijuan replied with a busy smile: "Yes." Then he ran down and brought a lot of snacks on a large tray, and placed them one by one on the round marble table.

Jia Huan said: "Sister Lin, you must be hungry after crying so much. Come on, let's go over there to have some snacks and drink tea, and then we can put things together."

The total result is that Jia Huan has just finished the Tongsheng Examination, so he can accompany Daiyu on the next trip to Yangzhou, but it is not easy for Jia Huan to say this.Because he couldn't tell Mother Jia and the others that they went this time to save Lin Ruhai's life.In what name?When Jia Huan raised it himself, it would only be refuted by Jia Zheng and others that he was playful and disregarded the occasion, but it was different when Daiyu raised it.

Sure enough, the next day, Daiyu begged Jia Mu to let Jia Huan accompany her all the way. Jia Mu was meditating, and Wang Xifeng happened to be by her side, so she chimed in and said, "Brother Huan is a young man, but he is a knowledgeable man. He can go all the way, and there is one more person to help make up his mind. Besides, the old lady also knows that Lian'er is not bad at doing things, just in case someone trips her along the way..." Because of Daiyu's presence, Sister Feng stopped in time.

Jia Mu thought for a while, Jia Lian was indeed lustful, just as Wang Xifeng was worried, in case she met a bastard woman on the road and got dizzy, it would be much safer to have Jia Huan to help her, so she nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Huan is indeed not such a mischievous and troublesome master, and it doesn’t get in the way when you go all the way. Just stay here, Brother Feng, give them a good job, bring a few more woolen clothes, and wait on the road The people who are in need should be chosen carefully.”

That night, Wang Xifeng called Jia Huan over, and first brought him a lot of things, such as the black cloud leopard cloak, the red engraved silk cloak inlaid with squirrel skin, the blue duoluo double-breasted thick gown, and even the gilt silver incense burner with hundreds of flowers. There is a silk enamel hand stove and a five-linked round ram's horn palace lantern that can be held in the hand to illuminate. There are seven or eight large packages. Jia Huan hurriedly said: "There are so many, I can't take it."

Wang Xifeng raised a pair of slender eyebrows, and said with a smile: "If you can't get it, put it in the house and don't take it away. Anyway, if it's an old lady, don't blame you people who travel far away. I won't just do it with the official stuff. Favor? Anyway, I don’t need to spend money.”

Jia Huan also laughed, and said, "Then thank you sister-in-law for your understanding."

Wang Xifeng said: "There is only one thing I want to tell you. You know your elder brother's virtues. Take care on the way, don't tell him to seduce a bastard woman."

Jia Huan was very embarrassed, and said: "If he insists on going, how can I stop him?"

Wang Xifeng poked him on the forehead and said: "You are so clever, is there anything you can't think of? No matter what method you use, he is not allowed to mess around anyway. Thinking of this makes me panic. If you don't help me , I won’t help you anymore.”

Jia Huan had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay. If it really doesn't work, I'll give Lian's second brother some medicine and tell him to sleep all the way to Yangzhou, so he won't be able to get out of the moth. Sister-in-law, don't feel bad."

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "You have many ways, don't you think I don't know? Anyway, as long as he is here, I am not allowed to touch women. Don't go out, come back and find me a wild woman or Bring a wild child to ask me to admit it, but I will be mad at me to death."
