Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 138 Why don’t you look for me?
Rongqing Hall, Bisha Cabinet.

After dressing up, having breakfast early in the morning, and chatting with Jia Mu for a while, Daiyu led the two maids towards the three-room Xia Xing next to Li Wan's courtyard.

Zijuan, who had just come out of Jia Mu's backyard, said, "Girl, I heard something this morning... Fourth brother Jian took a concubine yesterday."

In the past few days, the dispute between the two maids Zicuckoo and Xueyan has become more and more obvious.Zijuan was born in Rongguo Mansion, so she naturally hoped that Baoyu and Daiyu would get together; He was quite concerned, and his heart was a little biased towards Li Weijian.

Because the two maids had differences, and since they came to Rongguo Mansion, Zicuckoo was always at odds with each other. There was already some discord between the two maids, and this dispute arose.

During these days, one of them was talking openly and secretly about what Second Master Bao was doing, and the other was talking about what Fourth Master Jian was doing, but secretly they were always at odds with each other.

Zijuan had been feeling depressed when she heard that Li Weijian had taken a concubine early in the morning.After all, she was still in front of Jia Mu. It was not easy to say these words in front of Jia Mu. It was not until she left Jia Mu's courtyard that she handed over the small talk.

Daiyu glanced at him and said nothing.

Xueyan glared at her from the side, but Zijuan seemed to have never seen her before, pretending to be unintentional and said, "I know the girl who is new to the family."

Daiyu paused briefly: "Do I recognize it?"

"It's Miss Fu who came to the house to meet the old lady a while ago."

Daiyu recalled Fu Qiufang's appearance and wondered, "Her? It's strange. How could she become a concubine for Fourth Brother Jian?"

"I don't know this."

Daiyu continued to walk forward and passed through the hall. Zijuan said: "If you ask me to say that all the men in this world are average, there is no second master Lian, no second master Bao, no fourth master Jian, who is not greedy for sex? Seeing that, Autumn is approaching, Fourth Master Jian, instead of reading every day, has taken a concubine at this moment."

Xue Yan couldn't help but refuted: "How can it be the same? After all, Fourth Master Jian is two years older than Second Master Bao. Besides, Fourth Master Jian is so capable, it's hard to say that Miss Fu used tricks to get him here. Besides, Fourth Master Jian is so capable." , Fourth Master Jian will not make a girl angry."

"That's because Mr. Bao is still young. In another two years, I guarantee he won't make the girl angry."

"Oh, it's easy to change a country--"

"If you want to talk, go and talk elsewhere. I can't bear to hear this nonsense." Daiyu scolded her, and Yanyan frowned slightly and said, "Don't mention this in front of me in the future."

The two maids immediately stopped talking. Zicuckoo observed her words and saw that Daiyu was a little annoyed, and she was secretly proud of herself.Xue Yan was clumsy and secretly anxious in her heart, complaining that Li Weijian had chosen to take concubines now. How could she say good things to the girl in the future?

After a while, Sanjian Xiaozhaoxia arrived. The maids stopped in the outer room, and Daiyu went to the inner room to join Sanchun to listen to the instructions of the new nanny.The girl with needlework is red, sitting, lying and standing, everything is boring.

Not to mention exploring and appreciating the spring, but welcoming the spring and Daiyu felt a little bored.At noon, the maids brought the food boxes, and the girls ate their lunch in Bao Xia and rested for a while. Then the nanny came to teach for another hour, until it was almost noon, and this day's teaching It’s finally over.

Daiyu and Sanchun talked briefly for a while, paying attention to the second sister's welcome to the spring, but she saw that her speech was as usual, and there was no strange color on her face.Daiyu was puzzled. It was said that the second sister had a close relationship with the fourth brother Jian. Rumors said that the two would get together sooner or later. But why was the second sister not interested in the fact that the fourth brother Jian had a concubine?
As for Daiyu and Li Weijian, she was still young at the moment. Although she was quite disappointed with Baoyu, she had no other thoughts about Li Weijian for the time being.

When Zi Zhi came out of Xia Li, Dai Yu walked across the hall and paused for a moment. Xue Yan looked at her words and said, "Girl, do you want to walk around?"

Daiyu said: "I have some food left over from lunch, so I might as well go for a walk in the small garden."

The three masters and servants turned to the small garden at the edge of the east courtyard. At this time, the sky was overcast and it had not yet rained. The breeze was blowing, neither cold nor hot, but it was refreshing.

When he saw the small garden, he saw a maid standing beside the peach tree, looking into the garden from a distance.The maid was wearing a newly made Tianxiangluo. When she got closer, she saw that it was the ruby ​​beside Fourth Brother Jian.

Xue Yan quickly took two steps and greeted, "Hongyu? Why are you back?"

Hongyu turned her head and hurriedly greeted Daiyu before smiling and saying, "I just came back."

"Where is Fourth Master Jian? Why are you guarding here?" Xue Yan asked, and Dai Yu also glanced at Hong Yu, waiting for her reply.

Hongyu frowned and said, "I don't know what kind of hysteria the fourth master has. He is guarding the poppy and talking to himself right now, and he doesn't want me to get close enough to hear her."

Daiyu turned her head and saw Li Weijian, who was wearing a moon-white gown, squatting in front of the poppy. She could vaguely hear humming, and the singing seemed to be there but not at all.

Hongyu said: "Miss Lin, are you here for a walk?"

Daiyu responded and said, "I'll just walk around the small garden. I won't disturb Fourth Brother Jian."

Hongyu smiled and said, "Miss Lin is joking. If the Fourth Master sees Miss Lin, he will definitely be extremely happy."

After talking, Daiyu entered the small garden and started walking around the path.She couldn't help but be curious, and she didn't know what Brother Jian was singing.After turning around the path behind the poppy, Daiyu couldn't help but slow down her pace and listen attentively, and the mournful singing became clearer.

"...The two souls were breathing heavily, smoke and dust were everywhere~ Do you recognize me? Say so many words to me. You have to be dignified, I am familiar with you..."

Daiyu was fascinated by it without realizing it.She has a delicate mind and is an aloof and self-pitying literary young girl. Such low-pitched singing with a low tone makes her most empathic.

Although the tune was weird, it seemed to be in Southwest Mandarin, and it was sung... like an elegy.

She unknowingly approached the flowers, and saw Li Weijian singing in a low voice through the flowers. The usual smile on his face was gone, and he looked extremely solemn.

Where is this song from?Why does Fourth Brother Jian sing?

Gradually, when she heard the cruel meaning in the music, Daiyu felt the same and her eyes turned red unknowingly.After a slight sob, Li Weijian heard it and raised his head. The solemnity on his face disappeared, revealing a smile. He waved his hand without getting up: "Is Sister Lin here?"

"Fourth brother Jian." Daiyu hurriedly greeted her and said thoughtfully: "What song is fourth brother Jian singing?"

"I heard a tune by chance, just humming it." As he spoke, Li Weijian stood up, brushed off the dust on his robe, turned around among the flowers, and came to Daiyu.

Seeing the red circles in Daiyu's eyes, Li Weijian said: "I was just humming a few words out of boredom, but I didn't expect that I would make Sister Lin sentimental and feel guilty."

Daiyu said angrily: "I feel sad for myself, so what does it have to do with Fourth Brother Jian? But Fourth Brother Jian's song sounds quite——"

"Walk?"

"Yes." Daiyu looked at Li Weijian approvingly.He thought to himself and said, "Fourth brother Jian didn't stay with my sweetheart for yesterday's happy event. Why are you here today to express your gratitude?"

"Sister Lin also knows, right?" Li Weijian turned around, raised his hand to invite, and the two walked side by side along the path.Li Weijian said: "Since I entered the capital, I have been busy every day and have little leisure. Sister Lin also knows that people in the outside world are unpredictable and intrigues. After a long time, there will always be some tiredness that needs to be vented. "

Hearing this, Daiyu nodded and said, "Fourth brother Jian has to work hard to create such a big battle. It must be hard work."

"My sister still understands me." Daiyu said, "Since Fourth Brother Jian is feeling depressed, why don't you find someone to talk to?"

"A thousand pieces of gold are easy to come by, but a true friend is hard to find. And there are some things that are not easy to share with outsiders."

"I see." Daiyu glanced at Li Weijian's profile and thought to herself, it's not easy for Fourth Brother Jian either.

However, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he still had to interact with the ministers and ministers of the DPRK, and he suffered a lot.

Little did she know that Li Weijian knew that accepting Fu Qiufang would definitely make the second girl unhappy, and Daiyu, who had finally managed to pry the corner, might be prejudiced against him, so she hurried back.Then he sent Hongyu to guard in front of Xia Hua, and saw Daiyu walking towards the small garden, and then she ran around all the way and performed this scene.

Is he feeling sad?I felt this way a few years ago, and now I am here to show off my talents. It is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant. Where do I come from so much feeling?

When dealing with young literary girls, don't we have to deal with their thoughts?

The two of them walked for a while, and Daiyu asked: "The song that Fourth Brother Jian just played, seems to have a story in it?"

"Yes, Sister Lin wants to hear it?"

"think."

Li Weijian said: "This song tells the story of a female paralytic and two stupid thieves." He cut off the beginning and the end, simplified it, and told the story happily.There is no personal relationship between men and women involved, only dignity.The paralyzed woman cannot seek death, and the stupid thief cannot seek success. They are all ordinary beings, nameless people.

After hearing this, Daiyu felt sad again.In her heart, there was only the loneliness of aloofness and self-pity, the depression of living under someone else's roof, the homesickness of traveling far away from home, and the vague feelings of childhood sweethearts.

The story told by Li Weijian made Daiyu experience a different kind of mood.It turns out that dignity is sometimes more important than life.

The two walked around the small garden twice. Daiyu was weak after all, and she was sweating now.Li Weijian caught a glimpse of it and stopped in front of the pavilion to invite Daiyu to sit down.

Daiyu was grateful for Li Weijian's thoughtfulness and said, "When you talk to Fourth Brother Jian, you will always gain some insights. I am a Taoist. The world is nothing but joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. I don't want to have such complicated emotions."

"There are various situations in life, and sometimes joys and sorrows are not the same." Li Weijian said freely and freely: "Perhaps it is a troublesome trouble that you and I think is quite troublesome, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a good life that we dream of."

"That's what Fourth Brother Jian said."

The two talked for a while, and when they saw the wind blowing, Li Weijian stood up and said, "My sister is weak and she was sweating just now. It's hard to catch the wind. Why don't we go back first."

"Well, thank you Fourth Brother Jian for your concern."

The two immediately got up and went back on their own.Before leaving, Daiyu suddenly stopped and said, "If Fourth Brother Jian is depressed in the future, why not talk to me. Although I don't know much, I am willing to listen."

Li Weijian smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Watching Daiyu go away, Li Weijian took a deep breath, then called Hongyu and walked towards the east courtyard.

Daiyu didn't go far, so she entered the courtyard from the corner gate of Jia Mu's backyard. After walking a few steps, she turned to look at Xueyan and said, "It's a happy event at least. I'll wrap up two pieces of bread later and send them to Jian Si." I’ll take it as a congratulatory gift.”

Xue Yan responded with a smile: "Yes, girl."

Zicuckoo bit her lower lip and felt depressed.The second master Bao plays naughty with his maid, which makes the girl angry; the fourth master Jian takes a concubine seriously, but the girl sends him a congratulatory gift... It's true that the same person has different fates, and the same umbrella has different handles.

............................................................

Yingchun courtyard.

The small courtyard was quiet, and Siqi was sitting under the eaves embroidering something. He heard the footsteps approaching. He looked up and saw Li Weijian and Hongyu turning around the peach tree and walking over.

Si Qi felt happy at first, and then rolled his eyes at Li Weijian. Then Shi Shiran stood up and came over with his mouth pursed.

"Fourth Master Jian is here? The girl is a little annoyed. Fourth Master needs to comfort her."

She kept talking about the girl, but actually she was talking about herself.

Li Weijian knew what Si Qi was thinking.She was the first one to commit herself to him, but she was not the first one to accept him. I'm afraid Si Qi felt a little dissatisfied.

However, Li Weijian already knew Siqi's temperament. This girl was reckless and determined that she would not look back even if she hit a wall.Since she recognized herself in her heart, as long as she never disliked her, she could always be coaxed out of her troubles no matter what.

Because it was Li Weijian, he smiled and said, "It happened in a hurry. Didn't I come to find my second sister?"

Siqi then said angrily: "Second Miss was embroidering purses for Fourth Master yesterday. She is sitting in the room right now. Fourth Master should go and persuade her."

Li Weijian nodded with a smile and walked towards the center.

Hongyu had known about Si Qi and Li Weijian for a long time, but she never revealed it on her face, so she stopped to talk to Si Qi and allowed Li Weijian to enter the main room alone.

Xiu Ju went to pick up the food box, but he was not there at the moment. When Li Weijian entered, he saw the two girls welcoming the spring with their cheeks in their hands, looking lost in thought.

He walked over quietly and whispered: "What is the second sister thinking about?"

"Ah~" Yingchun exclaimed. When he saw that the person coming was Li Weijian, he rolled his eyes at him in shame and annoyance.

"Brother Jian, how come you don't make any sound when you walk? It shocked me."

Li Weijian sat down at the Kang table, reached out and pulled the white jade-like hand, and said with a smile: "Second sister, did you miss me just now? No wonder she sneezed several times just now."

"Yes, no."

Face flushed with embarrassment.She has a lot on her mind, but it's hard to show it.She didn't care much about Li Weijian taking a concubine.The thing that concerned me was that the woman was actually Fu Qiufang, and her color was much better than hers.

If Fu Qiufang is favored by Brother Jian, will Brother Jian have fewer of them in the future?Or maybe Brother Jian has changed his mind and will never come again?
After all, her biological father and stepmother were both unpopular with others, and Brother Jian had a bright future, so he couldn't afford to keep it to himself.

While I was thinking about it randomly, Brother Jian came and was as friendly as usual.The last little thought in Yingchun's heart dissipated completely, and she thought to herself that brother Jian really still cares about her.
