Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 53 Gusu Notes (4)

In a blink of an eye, it was Daiyu's eighth birthday. I remembered the lively scene of the family together last year, and now I was only accompanied by Jia Min's cold memorial tablet. I thought of my father who was in danger every step of the way in Yangzhou City, and Jia Lian is studying hard day and night in the academy to fight for fame.Daiyu felt that her whole heart was being pulled.

Seeing Daiyu staring at the memorial tablet again, not to mention people like Jin'er who grew up with her, even Nanny Yang felt distressed.But I don't know how to comfort them, what they can say, what they can do, what didn't they say?Didn't do that?But I don't know if it's Daiyu's stubbornness or she's too early, she can think clearly about everything, but she can't get out.

Just when everyone was worried, Daiyu turned around and left the house, and walked slowly to the plum garden, only to see the new shoots growing, but the plum blossoms had already withered.The falling red all over the place is flying with the wind.Daiyu couldn't help but think of Daiyu's song "Burning Flowers" in the original work.After thinking about it, he read out:

When the flowers wither and fly, the sky is full of flowers, but when the redness disappears and the fragrance is gone, who is there to pity?
The gossamer is soft and fluttering in the spring, and the fluff is lightly dipped in the embroidered curtain.

Daiyu suddenly paused when she read this, and then continued to read:

The orphaned daughter who lost her mother cherishes the spring evening, full of melancholy without release.

Afterwards, she couldn't read any more, and Daiyu's bosom was already wet with tears.Not to mention Nanny Yang around Daiyu, even the maids are all literate.How can you not hear the sadness in Daiyu's mouth?Just when he didn't know what to do, Huang Jiyun frowned and said lightly: "Where does the little man get so much sadness? Learning to write lyrics is not for mourning the autumn and hurting the spring."

No one in the crowd expected that Huang Jiyun would come silently at this time, and even Daiyu's melancholy was dispelled by the blow, she couldn't help but stop crying, turned around and bowed to Huang Jiyun as a disciple, bowed her head and said softly: " Thank you master for your guidance. Yu'er will definitely remember it."

Daiyu didn't know, although Huang Jiyun was frowning at this time, he was overwhelmed with surprise in his heart, thinking to himself, why didn't he realize that she has such a poetic talent?If it was Daiyu in the original book, he might be even more pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, he didn't know that now this Daiyu, who is rare in spirituality, would eventually disappoint him again.

Huang Jiyun saw that Daiyu bowed her head and said nothing, thought for a while before asking, "How do you want to continue? You might as well chant to listen to my teacher, or to judge for you." Hearing this, Daiyu immediately raised her head. Head, eyes full of surprise and astonishment, where is there still a little bit of sadness?
It's just that since the master asked, Daiyu couldn't help but answer, but it was really difficult to answer.After all, Daiyu has already changed one sentence before, how should I change it later?Then he pondered for a long time and didn't speak.

Huang Jiyun was not in a hurry, and asked someone to fetch a seat to make tea with his own hands. He knew that the way of poetry always needs a state of mind, but he was destroyed by himself just now. Now he is afraid that it will be difficult to continue, but he wants to know How wonderful it will be, I can't help feeling a little regretful in my heart.

Daiyu thought about it for a long time, but she always felt that it was not as good as the original, but it was a pity that Huang Jiyun was sitting here at this time.Although her eyes were not looking at her, Daiyu still keenly noticed that the corners of Huang Jiyun's eyes glanced at her from time to time, and in desperation, Daiyu said:
Hand-held Luoqun out of the embroidered curtain, forbearing to step on the falling flowers at a slow pace.

Willow silk and elm pods come from Fangfei, regardless of chrysanthemum withering and plum falling.

If peaches and plums can reappear every year, how can we see the benevolent face of the deceased mother?
In February, the new buds are full of branches, and the old and new swallows return to empty nests.

After reading, Daiyu didn't dare to look at Huang Jiyun's face, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the plum blossoms still swaying in the wind.

Huang Jiyun read it softly, then nodded and smiled: "The beginning is very beautiful, although the follow-up is a bit far-fetched, but the artistic conception is still there. It is because of the teacher who disturbed your thoughts, and it is difficult for you." Hearing what Huang Jiyun said, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief just now, but she sighed in her heart: After all, she lost her talent for singing Xu.

Just when Daiyu didn't know what to say, she saw Hongxiu coming from a distance, and knew that Jia Lian must have rushed back from the academy, which made Daiyu very happy.He quickly turned around and looked at Huang Jiyun, his eyebrows were curved, the corners of his mouth were turned up, and his eyes were full of sparkle.

Seeing this appearance, Huang Jiyun shook his head and smiled, "Go ahead, I'll sit here for a while, I'll leave the gift here for you, come and pick it up later."

Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard the word 'gift', but she was not in a hurry.Nodding his head and smiling at Huang Jiyun, Fang turned and left.Now that she is observing filial piety, Daiyu doesn't change her clothes, it's just a set of plain filial piety clothes, and there is nothing to change, so she hurried to the flower hall.Seeing Jia Lian standing at the door smiling at her, Daiyu immediately smiled.

"Why is brother back? There is no class today?" Daiyu was filled with joy, and even her voice became more cheerful.Seeing this, Jia Lian laughed heartily and said, "Isn't today my sister's birthday? Brother Yu, why don't you come back? I took half a day off and came back to give my sister a gift." After speaking, he took out a jade pendant from his waistband and handed it to Daiyu. .

Daiyu looked at the cute little bat carved from the gentle Hetian white jade, and looked at Jia Lian with sparkling eyes.There was an unstoppable smile on the corner of his mouth.Jia Lian knew very well that apart from pearls and jade, Daiyu didn't have any special hobbies for other things. If she had any, it was only tea and lotus.

Seeing that Daiyu liked it very much, Jia Lian also said happily, "I don't have anything else to give you, and I didn't go to the street. I looked through the old things yesterday, and saw that the jade was of good quality, so I took it out for my birthday." Gift, as long as you like it." Hearing what Jia Lian said, Daiyu kept nodding her head.Playing with the jade pendant in his hand, his face was full of joy.

The brother and sister chatted for a while in the flower hall, and somehow they talked about last year.Jia Lian was afraid that she would think of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai again, so he hurriedly changed the subject and talked about Wanyu's brothers and sisters.

While talking, Lin Yi's family ran in, and Daiyu quickly got up and took a step forward and asked, "Why is Aunt Lin in such a hurry?" Today, year after year! People from Wujun Wangfu brought the girl a birthday gift." After speaking, he handed over the list of gifts.

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention Daiyu, even Jia Lian was full of surprises.Jia Lian was also extremely jealous when he thought of the set of jade stick Meizhihu pens and Baijun broken that Daiyu got last year.She wondered what good things Daiyu would get again this year.Then he asked, "What good things did you get?" He stretched his neck and looked over while talking.

Seeing Jia Lian laughing like that, Daiyu said, "How can there be such good things? They are all rare." After finishing speaking, she didn't look at the gift list, so she called someone in.This time it was a new face, and after seeing Daiyu, he still performed the Wanfu ceremony in a very standard way: "The slave girl has seen the girl, I wish the girl enjoy every year."

As soon as Daiyu heard the word "chai'er", Daiyu's heart moved. She thought of Xue Baochai, and she didn't know what was going on now. His father died?Is his brother still so disappointing?I couldn't help but sighed again for Xue Baochai.

But Daiyu said with a smile on her face: "Thank you for your hard work, but I have never seen you." Chai'er smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "Slaves don't work hard, and slaves are second-class around the county lord. The matter of the county magistrate's tea. So the girl has never seen it." Daiyu was surprised, why did the tea manager be sent out to give gifts?
After finishing speaking, he looked at Daiyu, looked at Jia Lian, and said, "the county master knows that the girl will summon the slaves, so he told the slaves to say when they saw the girl." I'm sorry, so I blushed and couldn't continue.Daiyu looked at it and knew that there must be an article, so she asked: "What does Sister Wan want you to say?"

The chai'er smiled embarrassedly and said: "It's too stingy to say that the scented tea that the girl sent earlier. Although the princess has another share, she got some from the county master. The son said he could grab some after eating , even Young Master Xuan took some time off. This time, I don’t need anything else in return, just give more scented tea made by the girl.”

Looking up and seeing Jia Lian's strange expression, although he tried his best to conceal it, he couldn't help being curious.She didn't know that every time Daiyu made those scented teas, no matter whether it was good or bad, she always gave it to Jia Lian to eat first.

But Jia Lian didn't feel like drinking it.I gave it to my husband and classmates, and they all said it was drunk by a woman.More than sweet, not enough fragrance.Therefore, it is strange to hear that Shizi and Brother Xuan also like it at this time.

Jia Lian didn't say anything, but guessed in his heart that Xu was going to give it away.But Daiyu thought it was funny that Chai'er was so coy and said: "What's so difficult? Why are you so coy? When I go back, I'll bring some more to your county magistrate." Seeing Daiyu's straightforward answer, Chai Er also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that Daiyu would be offended when he came!so far so good!

Daiyu Liuchai was talking in the flower hall, and Jia Lian got up when she saw this and said, "My sister is busy first, I will go back and sort out the books I brought back to the academy." Daiyu heard that Jia Lian was going to avoid going out, so she nodded and said, "That's the case. Brother, let’s go and get busy first, have a meal for a while, and then ask someone to invite brother to go.”

Seeing Jia Lian leaving, Chai'er let go of the Buddha, and talked about Wanyu's daily affairs with Daiyu, and said, "There are four second-class maids and slaves around the county master. It's one of them." Speaking of this, Chai'er covered her mouth with a smile and asked, "Guys, guess what's going on now?"

Daiyu didn't know it, so she asked, "How would I know? It must be interesting if you tell me." Chai'er laughed and said, "Because the girl's name is taboo, the county lord changed it to 'Chai'. Huan Bian Sheng'. It made the princess laugh a lot." Daiyu was also amused when she heard it, but she was very moved by Wanyu's friendship to her.

Seeing that it was late, Daiyu thought that she was very tired after coming all the way, so she left her hairpin to rest in the mansion before returning.Chai'er didn't refuse, but instead asked: "Since the girl keeps the servant, why don't the poor servant ask for this gift-giving job, and teach the servant to make tea. Last year, the county master asked the servant to follow the girl's method and try Made some, but it didn’t work.”

After hearing this, Daiyu cleared her doubts, but said with a smile: "Then what is tea making? I'm just playing around. Besides, I want to teach you, but I have to wait for the season. It hasn’t even opened yet! I’m afraid it won’t work today.”

Hearing this, Chai'er couldn't help feeling regretful and said: "Since that's the case, the girl said that when the time comes, the servant begged the county magistrate to let the servant come again?" Daiyu thought about it but did not refuse, and said with a smile: "You have the heart , and there is no need to be like this, I will write a letter to Sister Wan later, and ask her to send you over to stay with me for a few days."

Just like this, the hairpin retreated, and Daiyu arranged a lunch meal, which was exquisite vegetarian food, white crystal, green emerald, red delicate... It can be regarded as a full range of colors.Jia Lian also loves it very much.After having lunch with Daiyu, Jia Lian did not stay in the mansion, but went back to the academy to continue studying.

At this time, Dai Yufang was free to look at the gift list and presents.Needless to say, Wanyu is all kinds of interesting and beautiful things in the boudoir.The son's gift is a bit interesting. Last year I gave him a Hu brush, and this year I sent him a brush washer, a pen mount, and a pen holder.It is a picture of plum blossoms on a white jade background.

But Mo Xuan's gift surprised Daiyu a lot, the best way to make scented tea is glass.Daiyu searched for a long time, but she couldn't find anything she was satisfied with.Now Mo Xuan sent over a set of glass cups, obviously he has done a lot of research, or he has done a lot of research over the past year.

That set of glass teacups might not be worth much in later generations, but at this moment it was an extremely precious thing. Its appearance was not complicated, and in Daiyu's eyes, it could not even be called exquisite.There is also a slight greenish tint to the glass.But it is much better than what Daiyu found before.

Daiyu sorted out the gift and let Chai'er take it back.Daiyu's life returned to peace.In addition to taking Aunt Luo's embroidery class every day, I also completed the homework left by Huang Jiyun.In my spare time, I may draw two pictures or turn two pages of books.In addition to making some seasonal clothes, shoes and socks for Lin Ruhai, and sometimes sewing for Huang Jiyun, he just reads the residence newspaper and corresponds with Wanyu.
