Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 1 Transcended

Lin Yao opened her eyes in a daze, and only saw a faint light, but she didn't have time to look at the surrounding environment, she felt dizzy for a while, and she had to close her eyes again.

A strange world unfolded in Lin Yao's mind. It looked like a costume drama, with a deep courtyard and lush vegetation. A middle-aged man rolled up a book and strolled by the lotus pond. Waiting on him, some ten or twenty young women led a graceful little girl carved in powder and jade, followed by seven or eight girls holding fans on trays.Looking at the makeup of Lin Yao, she thinks this should be a wealthy family, but I don't know which series it is?

Lin Yao didn't have time to think about it, and all kinds of pictures came one after another, intermittently and inconsistently, but from a few words, she also understood that this should be Lin Ruhai's family in the Red Mansion, but she couldn't think of any series with such scenes, and she couldn't remember As for who the lead actor is, it depends on how beautiful and elegant the characters are, even Lin Ruhai's passing supporting role is also a rare "color", elegant and elegant.

Is it new?The actors are rare to choose well, and they are more realistic than the actors in the 87 version of the Red Mansion.Lin Yao has read the old version and the new version of the Red Mansion, because she likes it so much, she even read the book carefully several times. Even if she is not a scholar of the Red Mansion, she knows a thing or two about the Red Mansion. It seems that this is just the beginning, Jia Min is not dead yet.

After a while, there was another thin boy wearing a red thin jacket and a red tiger hat. That should be Lin Ruhai's youngest son who died young. Seeing this, Lin Yao was even more strange. The actors were all very unfamiliar, I don't know where they saw them, and then they had headaches, and Lin Yao fell asleep again.

Opening her eyes again, Lin Yao was still a little tired, but Lin Yao was already awake. She looked at the apricot-yellow curtains hanging down, the willow-colored satin sheets, and the bright green quilts. Due to long-term sleep fatigue and also because I found that the height of my eyesight did not change much when I sat up!When she sat down firmly and raised her hand to her eyes, Lin Yao's face turned pale in an instant. This hand—is it as big as a 3-year-old child?
"Girl?" "Nurse Wang~Girl is awake!" "Sister Jin'er, hurry up and tell the master and madam that the girl is awake~" As he spoke, he poked his head to look at Lin Yao. When Lin Yao was frightened, the series of cheers Coupled with this face so close at hand, Lin Yao was completely stunned.

Soon, a woman in her thirties who looked like she was holding a woman's hair in a bun and only had a red gold hairpin stuck in walked in quickly, "Girl, I'm awake! I really scared my mother to death." As she spoke, she approached Come and see, weeping while talking, the little girl stepped back very alertly.

The woman who called herself "Mom" kept talking while touching Lin Yao's forehead.Lin Yao wondered in a daze, is there something wrong with this person?Who is her daughter, and who is her mother?Lin Yao opened her mouth but only had time to say "Who..." The woman immediately greeted the little girl who was cheering just now, "Zhixuan, bring water for the girl."

Lin Yao was still terrified that her voice was dry and immature, when she heard a cheerful voice from the veranda outside: "Madam is here, ma'am is here~"

After a while, one was wearing a royal blue gown, a powder blue skirt, a loose flowing cloud bun, no pearls on her hair, only a royal blue dot of beads on her forehead, and Wanfu was wiped wide, her face was pale and double A woman with sunken cheeks and bloodless lips walked in with the help of a [-]-year-old girl. Lin Yao poked her head and looked over. Her oval face, apricot eyes, such as Dai Emei, felt very familiar, but she couldn't think of it for a while. I have seen it there.

The woman looked at Lin Yao worriedly, as if she was afraid of being mistaken, she walked over without stopping, she only paused by the bed for a moment, then bent down and hugged Lin Yao in her arms I only cried "My son!" in my arms, but I couldn't speak anymore.

Although Lin Yao was slandering her in her heart, why is there another person who claims to be my mother?But he still raised his hand to caress the woman's back, comforting her gently, and the dry eye sockets were filled with tears.It seems to be instinctive, and it seems to be thinking of my long-dead mother, remembering how many years no one has hugged me like this, calling me like this...

The woman named "Nurse Wang" who also called herself Lin Yao's "mother" saw that Jia Min was crying and had difficulty breathing, and Lin Yao was also crying.Quickly stepped forward and spoke softly to comfort: "My wife, don't be sad, how can you hurt your body if you cry? Even Brother Yan is uneasy watching it. Besides, sister Yu has woken up, so it's time to let go of your heart." What if my wife has something called Sister Yu?"

As she spoke, the girl wearing a green gown with a coral-colored vigilante and a blue ribbon around her waist also said softly: "Madam, don't cry, it makes Sister Yu cry too, Sister Yu will look better, If you cry too carefully, the wife should feel distressed again."

Wang Momo was also too busy to interject: "Miss Jin'er said very well, Madam must take care of herself, that's why she pities the girl." I don't know if the comforting words worked or the woman was tired from crying, she really stopped. After crying, she held Lin Yao's face up and down with red eyes, and looked at it carefully before saying "My poor..." Then she hurriedly changed her mouth: "What does Yu'er think? Where is the pain?"

When the woman was looking at Lin Yao, Lin Yao was also looking at this woman, the more she looked at her, the more she felt familiar, she couldn't help closing her eyes, and then opened them abruptly.Isn't this woman the heroine in the "tv series" in the dream - Jia Min?And isn't that "mother" Daiyu's nanny in the play?Yuer?Didn't I become Lin Daiyu? ? ?
What does it mean?I... filming?Still...Looking down at her little arms and hands, Lin Yao shook her head and had to confirm her guess that she didn't want to admit - she had time-traveled, and she had time-traveled into the Dream of Red Mansions.Became the "sister Lin" who died in Rongguo Mansion in misery and helplessness!Involuntarily, his face became paler by two points.

Seeing Lin Yao, Madam closed her eyes and shook her head, her face turned pale, and she didn't even call herself out for a long time.In an instant, he became even more flustered, "Jin'er, Jin'er! Hurry up! Take the master's post and invite the doctor to take a look." "Yu'er, don't scare mother, what's wrong with you? Tell mother I know" as she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks again.

Seeing that Jia Min was so flustered, Lin Yao had no choice but to gather her spirits, and gently shook her head and smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled.Seeing her daughter smiling, Jia Min felt relieved, and looked at her daughter's pale face, so she quickly ordered: "Go and get some warm porridge." After hearing this, Lin Yao felt that she was really hungry. , I don't know how long I haven't eaten, and there is a "grunt~" in the abdomen.When Jia Min heard this, he also showed a smile.

From time to time, the porridge was brought in, and the aroma was pleasant from a distance.Jia Min wiped her hands and took it in person, scooped it carefully with a silver spoon and let it cool down before handing it to Lin Yao's lips.Seeing Jia Min's careful and meticulous appearance, Lin Yao couldn't tell what it was like, it was very strange and very sad.

So she burst into tears while eating, which made Jia Min ask repeatedly, "What's the matter?" Lin Yao just smiled and shook her head, but she couldn't stop crying, so she had to say, "Mother, take care of yourself." Small." Seeing that Lin Yao cared about her, Jia Min couldn't help but nodded in agreement.The mother and daughter looked at each other with tears in their eyes and smiled.

Jia Min fed carefully, and Lin Yao ate carefully.The people beside them stood silently on the side, refusing to disturb them by making a sound.The fragrant and soft porridge has a very good taste. Lin Yao guessed that it should be bird's nest porridge. Although I have never eaten it before, it looks a bit like white fungus soup, but if you want to come to the Lin family, you will not use white fungus for a young lady.So he ate a few mouthfuls, and felt full after eating again? !What kind of spleen and stomach is this?No wonder the weak body does not live long...

Jia Min, Nanny Wang and the maidservants who were waiting on the side all showed joy, "It can be seen that the girl is well, Madam can rest assured." Nanny Wang said to Jia Min with a bright face. Nodding with a smile, "It can be seen that it's all right, I really scared the slaves to death." Lin Yao didn't understand, why is this all right?What's wrong?But he didn't speak, just stared at their faces, moving back and forth, he didn't know what to say and was afraid of saying the wrong thing.Secondly, I really don't know what they are talking about, what is so good?Does it mean that she ate the small bowl of porridge that was bigger than her fist?That's good?It saves more food than cats!
As soon as we finished eating and cleared up here, we heard a girl outside saying: "Madam, the master is here with Mr. Huang." The voice was not the girl who comforted Jia Min before, it must be another maid.

Jia Min smiled gently at Lin Yao after hearing this, got up and moved to the Nuan Pavilion.Because Lin Yao was full, she was more energetic, so she leaned out and looked out, and saw the girl who whispered comforting Jia Min before lifted the curtain and led two middle-aged men in.

Because Daiyu didn't put down the bed curtain at this time when she was young, she let Lin Yao see clearly.Lin Yao knew that the man in the official robe in front was the father of this body——Lin Ruhai. Although he looked thinner than "Dream", he had seen it before.The middle-aged man in the back who looked a bit more elegant than Lin Ruhai in a moon-white robe seemed to be Mr. Huang, but he didn't know why.

"Is Yu'er feeling better?" Lin Ruhai's voice is very magnetic and refined, although Lin Ruhai looks like his temples are full of hair, "This is your Uncle Huang, who is a close friend of your father. Although he is not a doctor, he is very skilled in medicine, so he just came here As a guest at the house, I heard that I was looking for a doctor for you, so I came to visit you with my father."

Lin Yao immediately sat up straight and shouted softly, "Hello, Uncle Huang. Thank you, Uncle Huang." The sweet and soft voice was no longer dry and hoarse before, it was very pleasant.The man surnamed Huang nodded with a smile: "Brother Lin is so lucky!" After speaking, he stepped forward and sat down on the embroidered pier beside Lin Yao's bed.Jin'er immediately stepped forward to put on the pulse pillow, put Lin Yao's hand on the pulse pillow, and covered her wrist with a silk handkerchief.

The man surnamed Huang listened carefully, while Lin Ruhai stared nervously at the man surnamed Huang, for fear of saying something bad. Now that he is nearly half a hundred years old, but there is only this little flesh and blood left, which is more important than before. .Seeing the man surnamed Huang frowning, the "Chuan" on Lin Ruhai's forehead immediately deepened by two points. When the man surnamed Huang frowned and smiled, he let out a big sigh of relief. He didn't show a smile until the man surnamed Huang left his seat with a smile and nodded.

The man surnamed Huang was not in a hurry to speak, he just said: "Brother Lin, why don't you invite me to drink your good tea?" Lin Ruhai laughed heartily when he heard this, and quickly made a gesture of invitation. They are going there for tea.

Before Lin Ruhai and the two left, Jia Min immediately turned around and sent a maid named Mu Mian to find out what Mr. Huang had to say.But during half a stick of incense, Kapok was talking back and forth with a smile. Only then did Lin Yao see that this Kapok looked several years older than Jin'er. Although he was wearing the same color and style of clothes, his figure was much more handsome.

Although the words are simple, they are also gentle and amiable: "Madam, the old master sent someone to say: "Madam, don't worry, Mr. Huang said that there is no serious problem. He prescribed a prescription for nourishing qi and blood, and said to drink it for three to five days. It's getting better, don't worry about it. After three or five days, I'll find some free time and come to ask for the master's good tea.' Such a wife can feel at ease. But I don't know if I can also invite Mr. Huang to give my wife a pulse?" Such a rap What he said, but he said it clearly, even Lin Yao could hear it clearly.

Jia Min couldn't stop nodding when she heard this, and said with a faint smile on her face: "Since that's the case, Yu'er is good to rest. The medicine will be delivered in a while, and let Jin'er watch the pain and feed it to you." Then Lin Yao looked at herself curiously and explained: "This Mr. Huang is also a Jinshi of the second list. He used to work as an editor in the Imperial Academy with your father, and then he resigned from the official position and went to travel for some reason. Because he is the youngest son in the family, he just let it go when he saw that the persuasion was ineffective. His father was very sick because of his anger. A few years ago when his father passed away, he became more relaxed. He fell in love with medicine and is very specialized. I heard that the director of Taiyuan Hospital often discusses with him. His brother and your father are also colleagues. Now that he is willing to prescribe a prescription for you, there is no reason to stop at one side. My Yuer’s cough can also be treated with him. , It’s impossible to say that the root is broken.”

After sitting for a long time, she was nervous, crying and laughing, and now she talked to Lin Yao again, Jia Min's face was full of fatigue, Lin Yao hurriedly said: "I'm tired of mother because of Yu'er, The mother's complexion is getting worse, if the mother is not well, how will Yu'er take care of it? Why don't you go to rest, Yu'er will be obedient and take medicine to rest. When you get better, go to see your mother, how about talking with her? "

Seeing that Daiyu became ill and spoke more and more clearly, Jia Min was very relieved, so she nodded and gave some instructions before leaving with Kapok and others.Jin'er, Zhixuan, Wang Momo and three or two servant girls whose names Lin Yao hadn't figured out were left to wait on her.

As soon as Jia Min left, Wang Momo came over and said, "Girl, lie down and rest quickly. If you are tired after being careful, the master, wife and us waiters will not feel well." She said she wanted to help Lin Yao to lie down.

Lin Yao refused, and only said: "After lying down for a long time, my bones are aching, I'll sit and lie down again." Mother Wang was about to say something, but Lin Yao hurriedly said: "I I am sick, and my mother is also tired, and my mother also goes to rest, otherwise how can I feel at ease?"

Nanny Wang was going to insist on letting Lin Yao go to sleep, but seeing Lin Yao's eyes full of unquestionable persistence, although she was puzzled in her heart, she remembered Lin Yao's words to let her go to rest, and she heard that she could go home and take care of the youngest son in the family. It is no longer reluctant.He just said, "If sister Yu is tired, just ask someone to help you to lie down, and I will come after you rest for a while."

After saying that, he turned around and left the house.I heard her talking to someone from a distance, and then she lost her voice.

It was only at this time that Lin Yao had time to look at the room carefully. Although she was familiar with it in the "dream", seeing it with her own eyes was another experience.

I don't know what kind of wood the bed is, carved with patterns such as vases, Ruyi, etc. It has not been painted with gold and treasures as mentioned in the book, only red lacquer, with apricot yellow curtains.In front of the bed is a small couch with bats carved on the four corners.On the left side of the bed is a square corner cabinet against the wall, presumably there are clothes and other things in it. There is a crescent table a foot away from the square corner cabinet. There is a white jade vase with eight treasures on the table, and a pair of embroidered bamboo hanging screens are hung on the wall above the table.

Beyond that is a moon gate with several layers of curtains hung.From light apricot to apricot yellow.Maple leaves are embroidered scattered on the curtain, and behind the curtain is the Nuan Pavilion where Jia Min retreated before.On the right side of the bed, there is also an apricot-yellow embroidered maple leaf curtain, which is on the floor, and a small desk carved with bats is placed under it.On the table there is only a whole set of fine porcelain blue and white landscape pen pots, brush washers, pen mounts, pen holders and a small inkstone on a white jade plate.

Although there are not many things, they are also exquisite and complete.Especially the small inkstone on which side was padded with a white jade plate, which looked particularly elegant.There are only one or two books, and I don't know what kind of books they are. I think this three or four-year-old can't read many words and can't read any books.The small armchairs in front of the table seem to match the table, they are both small and carved with bat Ruyi patterns.

At the foot of the table was a celadon five-color painting urn, and there were several scrolls inserted in the urn, whether it was calligraphy or painting, Lin Yao was itchy and wanted to take a look at it.Naihe was lazy and weak all over.I had no choice but to sit on the bed and continue to inspect the world that belonged to me from now on.

There is also a bright grid cabinet between the desk and the opposite wall. On the cabinet are sapphire bergamot, carved and hollow incense burner, and a very small painting screen, painting plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. Although Lin Yao has seen various handicrafts in modern times, she can’t Don't marvel at the exquisiteness of this room and the exquisiteness of the painting screen.

In the middle of the room is a three-legged round table and six round stools. The table legs and stools are in the shape of flower stalks, and the surface of the table and stool is carved into lotus leaves.On the other side of the round table are four floor-to-ceiling screens, on which lotus leaves and lotus flowers are leaping, emerald jade lotus leaves lined with hibiscus stone veneer lotuses, and gold-plated dragonflies stay silently, which complements the round table even more.

All the furniture in the room has been painted red, and it is hard to see what kind of wood it is, but such a finely carved wood should not be bad.This room has already shown Lin Yao the richness and low-key luxury of the Lin family. I don't know what kind of scenery is behind the screen.Unable to bear it, Lin Yao was leaning forward and backward on the bed, hoping to get over the screen, even if she glanced at it, it would be good.

Before Lin Yao noticed anything, she heard the sound of someone lifting the curtain, and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl walking in. She wore olive beige, orange bijia, and willow-colored waist scarf. Bright, but her fair skin is even more radiant, and her bright eyes seem to be smiling.Lin Yao found that she and Zhixuan were wearing the same clothes, only the flowers embroidered on the placket were different. I remembered that Zhixuan embroidered orange daylily flowers, but her placket was embroidered with vivid beige magnolia flowers .

Smiling, she watched Lin Yao sitting on the bed without saying a word, only staring at her, and then walked over, "Nurse Wang asks her servants to accompany the girl." Without intending to say anything, she continued to ask, "Miss, do you want to lie down and sleep with your son? Sister Jin'er is already decocting the medicine, and she will call you when the medicine is ready. Don't wait." It seemed natural to smile before saying anything Kind, it's a pity to be a maid. "Sister, I'm not sleepy, and I want to sit with my son again."

Although she had seen this girl in her "dream", Lin Yao paid all her attention to Jia Min and Lin Daiyu. She didn't know what the girl's name was. She just heard Wang Momo call out from a distance, what is it?Still laughing, not sure.I had no choice but to call out "sister" and guessed that she would report herself, but as expected, "Hanxiao dare not be the girl's elder sister. If the girl is not sleepy, can the servant girl talk to the girl to relieve boredom?" Although Hanxiao was surprised why the girl called today What about your "sister"?But I didn't go into it deeply, the girl was young after all.And Lin Yao originally planned to find out about the current situation, such as where is it now?How did you get sick?

... I remember seeing a little boy in a red coat and tiger hat in the "dream", although he was a little thinner... Wait!Jia Min is so sad, Wang Momo's cautious expression when she mentioned "Brother Yan" before, and Jia Min's unfinished sentence "My poor..." are all showing Lin Yao a fact!Jia Min's youngest son is dead!So how old am I now?Just died?Still have some days?Jia Min and Lin Ruhai looked much thinner and haggard than in the "dream"... Thinking about it, they looked at Hanxiao and nodded, "Tell me what happened to me after being sick for a few days? Master and wife..." Lin Yao didn't know what happened before. So she couldn't finish it, but she believed that Hanxiao would help her complete it.

With a smile, he bowed his head and thought for a while, "Girl, don't bother yourself anymore. Brother Yan has gone, and the servants all know that the girl is sad, but the girl, don't you forget that the master and wife are not even more sad? Waiting for the girl to comfort, the result is that the girl is sad again. If you are sick, you need the master and wife to worry about the girl. Let me say something that slaves should not say. If the girl has something else, not to mention the master and wife, even the slaves will be sad. The girl has been ill for the past few days. My brother has already sent it, and I heard that he left by boat. The wife and the master come to see the girl every day when she is sick. Who would have thought that it would take five or six days for the girl to be in a coma. After a thin day, seeing the girl wake up today, the master and wife had a little smile on their faces, and the servants were relieved. The girl has to take good care of herself, even if she is filial to the master and wife. It can be regarded as Have mercy on the slaves."

After hearing this, Lin Yao had mixed thoughts and had to deal with it and said: "I'm tired, lie down for a while, son, call me when the medicine is ready." After speaking, she lay down on her own, and saw with a smile that Lin Yao didn't want to speak anymore and had already lay down. Then he pressed the corner of the quilt for her, gently took the sewing basket and sat quietly on the low couch by the bed, doing needlework.

Lin Yao lay on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly motionless, but her heart was surging.Lin Ruhai's son died.And it just died!Then I should be about four years old now. Looking at the quilt covered, it is not very thick but not thin, and it does not feel hot under the cover.Looking back on the clothes those people wore, I can be sure that it is either early spring or late autumn. If it is early spring, then I have just turned four years old, and if it is late autumn, I am afraid that it will not be a few days before Lin Ruhai takes office in Yangzhou.

And think about the pregnancy in October, and another month of confinement, even if you conceive immediately after confinement, you will be at least one year older than the brother Yan who died young, and remember that the book says that Lin Ruhai's son is If I went at the age of three, then I should be at least four years old, that is to say, it is already late autumn, and I will be five years old when I turn the next year. By then, there will be a heart-wrenching Jia Yucun who will come to my house to feed me Be a teacher.

Since I haven't gone to Yangzhou yet, I don't know where it is, it should not be the capital, because when Daiyu came to Beijing, the old lady Jia once said that those relatives have never been seen, if they are in the capital, is there any reason to miss them?Even if Daiyu forgot, Old Lady Jia would not say that she had never seen such words.It shouldn't be difficult to wait two days to find an opportunity to inquire about this matter, but it can be put aside for the time being, to inquire clearly before thinking about it.

The key is that Jia Min will die in the second year after Lin Ruhai becomes the salt administration next year.In other words, if I can't fan my little wings to change anything, Jia Min will have about two years, and then I will go to Rongguo Mansion. Compelling day!

This is what I never want!Although I'm not interested in that weak and lustful Jia Shitou!I also don't want to go to the stinky mud pit in Rongguo Mansion!But now that Lin Ruhai is rushing to Yangzhou to serve as Yanzheng, if the wheels don't turn, it is almost unavoidable. I don't have that much energy and I don't have that much time.Then what I can do is to see if I can take care of Jia Min and save her from dying, or a few years later is also good, anyway, as long as I don't have to go to the stinky mud pit in Rongguo Mansion.

In the book, the old lady Jia lived to be more than 80 years old, and her two sons who are greedy for flowers and lust are also in excellent health. I think Jia Min's physical foundation should not be too bad. Now he is described as haggard mostly because of the pain of losing his son. But Lin Ruhai didn't know.But according to what I saw today, Lin Ruhai and Mr. Huang were old friends. If I asked Mr. Huang to prescribe a prescription for Lin Ruhai and his wife, Mr. Huang would probably agree.

If Lin Ruhai really had something bad, I believe that Mr. Huang would definitely say it, and Lin Ruhai seemed very sensible, not like a person who shies away from medical treatment.Jia Min went there to comfort her more, and believed that when her mood improved, it would be easier to treat and recuperate.Although this matter is urgent, it won't happen for a while, and I can only plan it when I can get out of bed and walk around.

So for a moment, he thought that the Yanzheng was easy to deal with, who wouldn't be jealous if he was holding money?I remember that I read many books about the Red Chamber, most of which said that Lin Ruhai died in office because he was on the wrong team and was dealt with by the superiors.Of course, it is also said that he offended the salt merchant and was assassinated.There are also a few people who say that it is because of the deep affection with his first wife Jia Min, and Jia Min's death caused too much grief.There are many guesses, but I don’t know the specifics. Jia Min did not return to the Rongguo Mansion after marrying for many years, but entrusted Lin Daiyu to the Rongguo Mansion before his death. There is a reason why Lin Ruhai’s scholarly family didn’t ask Lin Daiyu to be a filial piety for Jia Min. Sending her away, such a strange matter, would definitely not be easy.

Then Lin Ruhai wrote a letter of recommendation for Jia Yucun to the prudish and thoughtful, hoping to find a backer for Lin Daiyu. After all, they still have the name of master and apprentice. If they can take care of one or two, it will be beneficial to Lin Daiyu alone in the capital. If Jia Yucun has a future It is also possible to take care of Lin Daiyu a little while thinking of the kindness of the recommendation.

I don't know exactly how, but according to the "dream", Lin Ruhai and his wife are loving and harmonious.It doesn't look like there are so many miscellaneous and bad things in this mansion... and the nanny, I remember that Daiyu suffered all kinds of sufferings in the book, but she didn't say a word.It is hateful to even call myself my "mother"!Everything was complicated, and the most urgent thing now was to take care of my body and go out to inquire about the news quickly, so I fell asleep again in a daze after thinking about it.

　My friend said that my sections were too long, and I was very tired looking at them. Gujing is not good at this.I tried changing Chapter 1 today, but I don’t know how it works?If there are any bad things, friends may wish to leave a message or two, and Gujing will definitely make corrections carefully.

　　First of all, I would like to thank the author of "Because of One Person, Fall in Love with a City" and also Gujing's friend Doudou Xiaotu.And Dong Yansheng, the author of "Flowers Without Seasons", gave Gujing advice O(∩_∩)O~
