Love the Red House

When she woke up the next day, Shuimei still hadn't returned, and Daiyu spent the whole day in her room until evening, when Fang took the snow geese for a walk in Qingzhi Pavilion.

Along the way, because it is near the end of autumn, the autumn wind blows through the pavilion, carrying a chilly coolness, rolling up wisps of flowers and leaves that are about to wither. His head trembled, and he wanted to stay but couldn't, exuding a decadent and depressed atmosphere.

Daiyu stopped and walked, looked at it for a while, raised her slender jade hand, stroked the falling chrysanthemum, recalled the "Funeral Flower Ci" written by herself that year, opened her lips and let out a thin and long sigh, Quietly read: "The flowers wither, the flowers fly all over the sky, who will have pity when the red fades and the fragrance is gone?"

Hearing this, Xue Yan frowned, although seeing her sad face, but because she was only savvy in writing and could not understand this line of poetry, she didn't know how to answer and persuade her for a while.

Inadvertently, I saw a tall man standing not far away, with a clear smile on his lips, looking at Daiyu intently, with tenderness in his eyebrows and eyes, I don't know how long he stood there.

It was already twilight at this time, the setting sun in the sky had already sunk into the layer of clouds, but there were blossoming sunset glows emerging, and the boundless glow made the sky extraordinarily bright and dazzling, like a delicate colorful tapestry slowly spreading out.

Under the boundless and gorgeous sunset, he just stood quietly, the breeze picked up, and the clouds flew over the corners of the azure clothes, flying lightly, looking extraordinarily quiet, but elegant and moving, like a flute under the moon, playing a piano by the water.

The demeanor is so moving, it is the king of Beijing that has melted in water.

Xueyan couldn't help being a little dazed, after a while, Fang remembered to salute, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "I have seen Prince Bei."

Shui Rong nodded, indicating that there is no need to be too polite, but his eyes still only lingered on Daiyu, and his thoughts were all about her, as if everything around him didn't exist.

Although he has only met twice, he already understands that Daiyu always likes elegant and simple accessories, her temples are like mist, but she is only tied with a soft fan belt, and a small sterling silver butterfly is pressed on her hair. Besides, there are no hair accessories.

Wearing a plain moon-white upper jacket, and a goose-yellow pleated skirt underneath, only a magnolia embroidered with colored threads at the corner of the skirt, which is lifelike.

With no makeup and light makeup, she stands gracefully, but it makes people feel beautiful and charming.

Hearing the voice, Daiyu had woken up from the emotion, looked at Shui Rong, pulled back her sleeves, blessed her, and said softly, "If the prince doesn't think it's presumptuous, I would like to ask, I don't know what Princess Mei is doing. When will you be back?"

Shui Rong bowed his hand and saluted, then smiled and said: "The empress dowager likes her very much, every time she enters the palace, she will be delayed for a few days, but with Miss Lin as a distinguished guest here, this time, she will definitely come back early."

Daiyu nodded lightly, and replied: "That's very good, I've been disturbing you for so long in Beiwang Mansion, I'm waiting for the princess to come back, after saying goodbye, it's time to go back."

These words were spoken with a sense of calmness and lightness, but Shui Rong felt that in an instant, a very deep pain hit his heart, bit by bit, thread by thread, continuous, making it difficult for him self-sufficient.

There are thousands of words of reluctance in my heart, but I can't say them out. On the contrary, I clearly understand that although some things have been delayed again and again, they have reached the point where they must be decided.

Resisting the sadness, Shui Rong raised his lips and smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Actually, Mei'er and the girl have a very good relationship, and the Beiwangfu and Jia's family are family friends, the girl might as well stay a little longer, why rush to leave?"

Daiyu raised her hand, rolled up her long hair blown by the wind, she smiled gently on her lips, she shook her head and said, "I am very grateful for the lord's persuasion, but I miss my grandma very much since I haven't seen her for so many days. , or go back earlier to be at ease."

Hearing this, Shui Rong had nothing to say for a moment, but his heart was extremely heavy. After a while, he smiled, and then changed his words, and said in a warm voice: "Just now I seem to hear Miss Lin reciting a poem. Although there are only two lines, it is It's novel and unique, it must be Miss Lin's new work, right?"

Hearing his question, Daiyu was silent for a while, remembering that when she wrote this poem, she was still immersed in the girlish feelings for Baoyu, and she was deeply moved for a while.

Lightly opening her red lips, Daiyu sighed inaudibly, with a hint of softness and melancholy in her voice: "When I lived in the Grand View Garden, I saw falling flowers and felt sad. ", I recite it occasionally today, please do not laugh at me, my lord."

Seeing her crooked eyebrows and frown marks, she is very lovable, the water dissolves her mind for a moment, and then said: "Of course not, Rong feels that Miss Lin's temperament is really a rare and strange woman in the world."

As he spoke, he stepped up to Daiyu's side, but due to the importance of etiquette, he couldn't get too close. Can you have a feeling of pity for fallen flowers in the glitzy world? Come to think of it, look around, there is only Miss Lin in the world."

In the setting sun, his words became clearer and slower, his back was like a jade tree facing the wind, handsome and elegant, and his gaze was like floating in March spring water in the south of the Yangtze River, sincere and pure, as if far away from all the noise of the world.

Under such gazing, Daiyu was bewildered for a while, the thin heartstring in the bottom of her heart trembled uncontrollably, but her expression changed when she realized her trembling.

After letting go of her feelings for Baoyu, she gradually looked down on the world. Now, in front of this unfamiliar man, why did she lose her composure repeatedly?

Breathing a sigh of relief, Daiyu tried her best to calm down, smiled sweetly, shook her head and said, "I don't know why, every time the prince sees me, he always compliments me, which really makes me feel embarrassed."

With tenderness between Water Rong's brows, he said softly: "Why did Miss Lin say that? The girl herself is indeed outstanding, and Rong Xin admires her so much that she can't help but praise her."

As she said that, her eyes flew across the chrysanthemum bushes quickly, and she still retracted them, falling on Daiyu's body in a daze, and then said with an envious tone: "Flowers bloom and fall, the world is ups and downs, and I always treat my heart with pity. Although the chrysanthemum is about to fall, because of Miss Lin's sympathy, this event is worthwhile."

Hearing the strange meaning in his words, Daiyu was slightly startled, pondered for a moment, then looked over with frowned.

Shui Rong had a keen mind, and immediately noticed his gaffe, and sighed secretly, as if he had a lotus in his mouth, suffering beyond words.

There is a woman standing in front of me, occupying all my thoughts, but I can't tell her how much I love her, how much I want to hold her hand, and be with her forever and forever.

Pain to the depths, who can know?

The corners of her lips raised slightly, hiding all the pain under a smile, Shui Rong stabilized her voice, and said softly: "Rong has a few words to say, please listen to Miss Lin."

Seeing the sincerity in his eyes and the solemn expression, Daiyu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since that is the case, please move forward and have a cup of tea." Then, she took the snow geese with her, turned around and returned to the room, with a faint smile in her eyes. With a smile, he slowly followed.

After entering the room, Daiyu asked Shui Rong to sit on the red sandalwood chair in the room, and she accompanied her under the window, then she turned to look at Xueyan, and nodded her head as a gesture.

Seeing this, Xueyan understood, got up quickly and went to the apartment, took boiling water to make tea, and quickly brought it up.

With a smile on her lips, Xueyan raised her hand to pour tea, and praised: "The things in Beiwang Mansion are all very exquisite, such as these tea leaves, which are bright in color and pure in aroma, and the teacups are also good, so they are matched together. It's really pretty." Saying that, he brought the poured teacup to Shui Rong and Daiyu.

Daiyu was indifferent, so she didn't pay attention to these things at first. Now she took a closer look, and saw that the tea bowl in front of her was from an official kiln, with colorful shadow glazes painted with fine lines of spring grass, full of charm and full of spring, when she lifted the lid of the cup, she saw The tender green tea leaves slowly unfurl, with a bluish color, like a fine emerald.

Daiyu took a sip, feeling that it was very cold, she couldn't help nodding her head slightly, and praised: "It really is excellent. It is pleasing to the eye at a glance. After tasting it, the fragrance will remain on the lips and teeth, and the aftertaste will be endless."

As she said that, she raised her eyes to look at Shui Rong, with a faint smile on her lips, and said immediately: "Speaking of which, these days, the concubine and the prince have bothered me, but I never thanked him, it really shouldn't be."

Shui Rong shook his head lightly, with a gentle tone of voice: "Such trivial matters, why worry about them? Besides, Miss Lin is so outstanding, it's a blessing for us in Beifu to keep Miss Lin here, but since Miss Lin praises this tea, we will be happy in the future. When you go back, you must remember to bring some." Speaking of this, he also took a sip of tea, calmed down, and then turned to look at Xueyan.

Before that, Xueyan had already noticed Shui Rong's hidden feelings for her own girl, and when she saw this, she thought, he must want to take this opportunity to express her sincerity alone.

Because she felt that the man and woman in front of her were rare talents and beauties, and she was happy to see their success, Xueyan smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "There is still some needlework in the servant's room, so I will take my leave first." The two bowed their knees and turned to leave.

Hearing that she was going to leave, Daiyu was very puzzled, but she didn't have time to ask, she got up and said: "No matter what kind of work, don't be in a hurry, you should wait here."

She had never been alone with a man before, and now facing the gentle gentleman, even though she knew that he would not do anything out of the ordinary, she still couldn't feel at ease in her heart.

After hearing this, although Xueyan stopped in her tracks, her face was rather perplexed. When she was at a loss, she heard Shui Rong smiled and said: "I think this maid is the girl's confidant, if she stays here, let her If Miss Lin feels more at ease, she doesn't have to avoid it."

Hearing his soft-spoken and thoughtful words, not only Xueyan was deeply moved, but Daiyu was also slightly startled, but she immediately fixed her mind, raised her eyes to look at Shui Rong, her full red lips were like rouge roses, revealing With a charming look on her face, she asked, "Just now the prince said something to say, but I don't know what it is?"

Facing her clear eyes, looking at her beautiful face, Shui Rong held his breath lightly, there were thousands of words and feelings in his heart, but he couldn't say it, just reminded himself, never forget that she was asked to come here in the first place original intention.

With a sigh, it's finally come to this moment.

In just a few days, the beauty has already entered the bottom of my heart, day and night, all I think about is her. From now on, even if the sea changes and time turns into smoke, her figure cannot be erased.

After today, perhaps, even if he is haunted in his dreams and misses him until midnight, Yiren is still far away in the sky, and it is difficult to see each other again.

After today, perhaps, even if the pain is deep into the bone marrow, and the sadness is sighed and shed tears, the beautiful lady still doesn't know anything and doesn't care.

However, even so, he still clearly knew that if he took this step, no matter how painful or injured he would be in the future, he would never regret it.

Because, when you fall in love with someone, you can only see the existence of that person in your eyes and heart, and you can't see anything else.

But at this moment, all his hopes and thoughts, all the expectations between his brows and eyes, are to make her happy and happy. As for his own intentions, they are insignificant.

I thought so in my heart, but it was not easy to do it. Before I opened my mouth, a big stone was already pressing on my heart, and even my breathing became extremely long and difficult.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Shui Rong was still silent, Daiyu was startled, her eyes turned and fell on him, and there was a trace of doubt and inquiry between her brows and eyes.

Wherever the eyes fell, the gilt censer on the table was emitting smoke curling upwards, endlessly, separated between her and Shui Rong, seeing his handsome face in the hazy moment, it seemed like a thin sliver of light in March. The light rain is misty and melancholy.

Perhaps it was her illusion, the corners of this man's eyes actually had a hint of crystal.

All of a sudden, Daiyu felt turbulent in her heart, but she had nothing to say.

The room fell into silence, no one spoke, and no one made any movements.

As if after a long time, Shui Rong took a deep breath and let it out again. Finally, relying on the concentration accumulated over the past 20 years, he slowly settled down, stood up slowly, stood by the window, and cast his erratic eyes out of the window.

Daiyu frowned lightly, only to feel that the figure in the blue shirt that came into view was extremely lonely, sad, and painful, which made people feel inexplicable.

"Prince of the North," Daiyu moved her lips, not only to remind him, but also to remind herself that she must not have any other intentions. It’s okay to say, there is no need to have any taboos.”

After the words fell, he seemed to let out a long sigh before responding: "Then, I'll just say it straight."

"Miss Lin has read a lot of poetry and books. You should know that in classics and poems, literati often use famous flowers to describe the appearance of women and imitate women's posture."

"Actually, this metaphor is extremely appropriate. Not only is a woman's appearance like a flower, but her life experience is also like a flower blooming and fading. The most important thing is to find someone who cherishes the flower and take care of it carefully, so that this life is not in vain."

Speaking of this, Shui Rong's body trembled slightly, as if immersed in cold water and ice, and his voice also subconsciously, gradually decreased and stopped, and could no longer continue.

Can't help but sigh, no matter how good the concentration is, there is no way to do it. At such a time, keep a calm and self-sustaining appearance, right?

What's more, he still admires her so much in his heart.

Although Xue Yan was ignorant of Shui Rong's words, she still understood the general meaning, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, feeling very happy in her heart.

The so-called famous flower must be his own girl, and the so-called flower-cherishing person must refer to himself, right?

I can't help but admire that a well-educated person's speech is not only appropriate and reasonable, but also elegant and fluent, which is really different.

Daiyu was a little puzzled, straightly raised her crescent eyebrows, bit her lips and said, "I've never heard of the remarks of the Prince of the North, but they are very reasonable. I just don't understand that the words of the Prince must contain Seriously, do you have something in mind?"

Seeing her asking, Shui Rong was silent for a while, put his hands into his long sleeves, clenched tightly into fists, resisted the pain in his heart, and said slowly: "Miss Lin Bingxue is smart, she really hit the point."

"I said this because I wanted to tell the girl that when Lin Tanhua wiped out the Yangzhou salt affairs by himself, he made great contributions to the state, and few people can match the integrity and integrity."

"In these years, Miss Lin came to Beijing alone and lived with her uncle, but Rong never cared about her. Thinking about it now, she still feels very regretful and ashamed."

"The past can't be remonstrated, and those who come can still be chased. These days, Rong has been thinking that if he can do something for Miss Lin, so that Miss Lin can be relied on for life, and Lin Tanhua will be able to rest in peace under the nine springs."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and his voice became more and more difficult, as if he had exhausted all his strength, before he spit out the rest of the words: "Miss Lai Lin also heard that Baoyu and Rong Nian had acquainted each other when they were young, and they had quite a relationship."

"Some time ago, I got a few famous chrysanthemums. I invited Baoyu to Mingya Garden. During the chat, I occasionally mentioned Miss Lin. Dao and Miss Lin were childhood sweethearts, and there was no gap. The hope of a lifetime."

"That's all Rong said. Miss Lin has a deep heart, so she must understand Rong's meaning."

After saying these words, he felt that all the energy in his body had been exhausted, as if he had experienced a nightmare. Although he was holding on to the window lattice with his hands, he still felt dizzy, and his whole body seemed to have collapsed.

At that time, the rays of the sun had passed, and the twilight had come, and the moss under the wall was damp, and with the autumn wind, it caught his body unexpectedly, and even the bottom of his heart was desolate and cold like death.

He took over the throne at a young age, proud of his spring breeze, standing on top of the court, always talking eloquently and calmly, even if someone opposed him fiercely, he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and calmly dealt with it. when?

He came from a noble family, and he has always lived a life of rich clothes and fine food. Everywhere he looks, there are people with smiling faces and flattering faces. No one has ever disobeyed him, let alone what sorrow is. when?

Everything, but because of a love word.

As deep as the love is, so is the pain and desolation in the heart. This is originally, connected and inseparable.

And the days when he was leisurely and hopeless, he could never go back.

However, there is no regret in my heart.

It's just because the girl in front of me is so worthy of my admiration, worthy of my own efforts to make her happy.
