Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore? Throwing things! Why aren't you throwing things anymore? Where do you think this is?"

You come to my Zuihonglou and want to run away?

Don't you guys even look at your own weight? Can you escape from my clutches? Hahahaha!"

A charming and attractive woman stood in front of Zijuan and Xueyan, pointing at them and cursing at them.

Her face was heavily made up, she was wearing brightly colored clothes, and she exuded a pungent fragrance.

The two men said in a flattering tone, "Mother Qian, hand these two girls over to us. We will satisfy you within a month."

"I'll leave it to you. I, Zuihonglou, want to train top-notch singers and dancers. Can you two train them well?" The woman said with disdain on her face.

Zijuan and Xueyan realized that they had been taken to a brothel.

Zijuan winked at Xueyan, and the two of them lay on the ground and kowtowed to the woman.

They said sincerely, "Mom, we are maids from a wealthy family. We are here to keep vigil for our young lady. Please let us go."

We don't want to be kabuki actors, so it's fine for us to stay here and be maids, cleaning, cooking, and washing clothes." After saying this, he continued to kowtow to the woman.

The woman ignored them and said to the man in black, "Take these two girls into the house and lock them up for two days."

After saying that, the woman walked away, swaying her steps and twisting her butt.

Zijuan and Xueyan were brought into the house they came from. They stayed in the house helplessly, not knowing what to do next.

"Sister Zijuan, what should we do? You won't really ask us to entertain guests, will you?" Xueyan said helplessly.

"Let's go and ask that woman for help in a few days. It's obvious that she's the one in charge here.

As long as we are not allowed to receive customers, being a maid is fine. I will wait for the opportunity to go out and continue looking for girls. "Zijuan calmed down and said helplessly.

"Miss Lin, where are you? Where are you?" Xueyan began to break down and cry.

Zijuan also started crying, "Girl, girl, where are you? We were sold to this place of fireworks.

We have been following you since we were little and have never had any contact with outsiders. When will you come to save us?"

Daiyu woke up from her sleep with a start, and in her dream, two girls were calling for help.

Daiyu couldn't help but gasp and broke out in a cold sweat.

Who are they? Why do I keep dreaming about them lately?

Daiyu thought it was just a dream.

But why do the two girls in the dream seem so real? Could it be that my life experience is related to them?

Just as I was thinking about it, Granny Cai came back with two maids.

"Girl, are you hungry? Your mother-in-law has prepared something delicious for you today." Grandma Cai put down the vegetables in her hand and said to Daiyu with a smile.

Daiyu was afraid that Granny Cai would notice she was having a nightmare, so she nodded and said with a smile, "Granny, what delicious food are you going to make for us?"

“Of course, it’s to make rose cakes. Recently, when the girl didn’t get up in the morning, my mother-in-law took us to collect rose petals.

"I've posted a lot of them. My mother-in-law said my daughter has been embroidering every day lately, and she wanted to change her taste." Xiaowan said with a smile.

Grandma Cai crushed the dried rose flowers to make rose jam, added sugar, and placed them in a bowl, covering it with a layer of flour, then a layer of rose jam, and then another layer of flour. After steaming and cooling, it is ready to eat.

Daiyu picked up a piece of rose cake, put it in her mouth, and it melted in her mouth. The fragrance of the rose diluted the sweetness of the cake.

"It's so delicious!" Daiyu said, picked up a piece and put it in Grandma Cai's mouth.

Granny Cai looked at Daiyu happily and thought how nice it would be if she were her daughter.

At this time, Xiaoling brought a pot of tea and placed it on the table. Everyone sat down and drank the tea while tasting the rose cake.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the sunset dyes the earth red.

In the small courtyard, fruits and vegetables compete for fragrance, roses bloom vigorously, and wisteria climbs all over the flower racks.

The four of them, the master and the servants, sat together, drinking tea and eating cakes, as if everything had stopped and they were the only ones left in the world.

"The prince will be back soon, girl, do you like him?"

Granny Cai joked nonchalantly.

"I don't know whether I like it or not. I just know that I am happy when I see the prince." Daiyu blushed in embarrassment.

"Haha, I, an old woman, can never be wrong in judging people. You two will become husband and wife, haha." Grandma Cai laughed happily.

In this small farmyard, Daiyu felt a happiness she had never felt before. Although the material conditions were scarce, she was moved by the enthusiasm of the two maids and Grandma Cai.

But inexplicably, an old lady with silver hair appeared in her mind. She was wearing a fine brocade robe with intricate embroidery and a hairpin with various gems on her head.

Daiyu looked at everyone in surprise, but the shadow flashed by and Daiyu couldn't remember it before she had time to savor it.

Daiyu thought: "When the prince comes back, I will ask him about my life experience."

The prince had not been in the mansion for a long time. He had to deal with all the big and small matters at home personally. The children also needed his education and companionship.

Seeing the prince return home, the wives of the various concubines competed with each other to show off their beauty, and every day they found new ways to call the prince to their rooms.

In addition, someone suggested to the emperor that the prince should join the court and participate in state affairs. The prince thought about it again and again and finally declined.

The prince was worried about Daiyu, thinking that she would be angry because he had not been to the courtyard for a long time.

He was also worried that since both the master and the servant were women, they might get into trouble, so he wanted to send Xiao Luzi to buy some food, clothing and other necessities and send them over in a few days.

Yu'er, can you feel my longing for you? Although they are all nice to me and try to please me in various ways, isn't it because I am a prince?

Isn't it my status that they like? The prince stood quietly in front of the window, thinking about Yu'er, who had a pure mind.

As for participating in politics, the first wife supported it. She believed that a good man should not only have ambitions, but also share the worries of the king.

"Your Highness, although we are very wealthy, we have no real power. For the sake of our children, I hope you can participate in the management of the court." The First Concubine asked the prince tentatively.

The prince did not say anything, but walked straight to the concubine's room.

The concubine's room was pitch black and quiet, and no one knew where they had gone.

"Siyu, Siyu, where have you been?" The prince gently called the concubine's name.

"Your Highness, I found a pair of Concubine's shoes by the pavilion on the lake. Concubine said she wanted to go boating there." The anxious voice of the maid Caiyue broke the silence of the night.

The prince turned around and saw Caiyue with an anxious look on her face.

She was the concubine's personal maid.

"Why go swimming in the lake so late at night? You're obviously not feeling well, yet you still go out at night." The prince said as he followed Caiyue to the lake.

"Go out quickly and call a few more people who are good at swimming. I'll guard here." When the prince saw the pair of embroidered shoes by the lake, he panicked and asked Caiyue to go and call people.

At this moment, a pleasant sound of stringed instruments rang out.

The bass of the flute and the loud sound of the flute break the quiet night.

The prince saw a woman in red with a veil sitting on the boat.

Two maids stood behind him, one playing the flute and the other playing the pipe.

This is when I play the flute until dawn among the sparse shadows of apricot blossoms.
