Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 81 Visitor (3)

Daiyu said it easily, but Wanyu was envious when she heard it, and she couldn't help saying sourly: "Yu'er has got a good master. It is not easy to imitate such a piano. But in Yu'er's mouth, I can only get one." But "two words!" Daiyu smiled and said, "Since my sister likes it, why not give it to my sister, so that my sister won't annoy me because of its pearls!"

Wan Yu glanced at Dai Yu and said, "Wouldn't it be sad if Mr. Huang found out? Don't say such things, it's my good fortune to be able to caress you once today. If Mo Xuan finds out, I don't know why Envious!"

Hearing Wanyu talk about Mo Xuan, Wang Xifeng, who had no interest at all, came and asked excitedly, "What do you mean? Could it be that Prince Wu still lacks a piano?" Seeing Wang Xifeng's high spirits, Wanyu was stunned for a moment. .

Then, as if thinking of something, he tilted his head and looked at Daiyu with a smile like Daiyu said: "Mo Xuan's piano skills are much better than mine. Isn't this piano prepared for him? In the future, I will let him Playing the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is an elegant thing."

After finishing speaking, Wan Yu didn't care about Wang Xifeng's teasing expression, nor did she look at Daiyu's embarrassed look, and gently stroked the piano.What Wanyu played was a piece of music that Daiyu had never heard before, but at that time, the piano sound that was brisk and sometimes tactful, sometimes soothing and sometimes intense attracted Daiyu.Listening to the sound of the piano is like admiring a painting of ink and mist.

That's all, Daiyu and Wang Xifeng were both fascinated, and it took a while to wake up, Daiyu couldn't help sighing: "It's really a good song! It's a pity that I can't learn it. It seems to be sobbing, like singing softly, and like A wisp of smoke that seems broken and continuous, wants to be connected together, but in fact it can't. It's more like a stick of incense slowly dancing in the air, both real and virtual, lingering away."

Hearing Daiyu's praise, Wanyu couldn't help laughing and said, "What's so good about it? Could it be that he played better than Mr. Huang?" Daiyu laughed and said, "That's different! If my sister's piano sounds like smoke The mist is flowing and melodious, and the sound of the master's zither is like a painting in ink, but between reality and reality, it is much thicker."

Hearing Daiyu's description, Wanyu smiled and said, "You always have a lot of reasons, and I won't argue with you! Put the piano away carefully, and let's go and see your hot spring pool!" Mengju went away, leaving Jin'er here to collect the piano.Listening to Wan Yu's words of caution, Jin'er also knows the value of this piano, so she dare not ignore it.

The three of them chatted and laughed and came to the entrance of Xianmengju, only to see that it was steaming, and the smoke curled up between the red maples, although it was not dense, it enveloped this small world and did not dissipate.Before Wanyu went in, she fell in love with it.

Entering it, the cobbled road was a bit rough to walk on. Wanyu couldn't help but wondered: "Why did you use it to pave the road? It didn't hurt your feet." Daiyu explained with a smile: "My sister doesn't know, she often walks like this. Lu, it’s good for your body! There are many acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, I massage them when I’m walking, and soak in the spring water when I’m back, it’s refreshing.”

Hearing what Daiyu said, Wanyu scolded, "You're the only one with a lot of ideas!" After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at the thick ginkgo leaves spread in the forest, like a golden blanket spread on the ground, which set off the redness of the branches. The maple is actually more red, especially the water droplets on the maple leaves, against the background of the camphor trees not far away, there are shimmering light in different sizes.

Wanyu couldn't help sighing to Daiyu: "Xianmengju is a good name. It can be seen that you are the one who really enjoys it!" Hearing this, Daiyu felt very proud.He only smiled and said to Wan Yu: "If Elder Sister Wan likes it, she can stay here. Yu'er is also happy."

But she didn't want Wanyu to turn around suddenly and say: "It's just that the couplet is missing. Otherwise, it would be better." With one sentence, Daiyu lowered her head, which was slightly raised just now, and looked left and right, as if she was looking for something Like, just ignore Wan Yu's words.

Seeing that she ignored her and didn't care, Wan Yu continued walking inside.After turning around a large Taihu stone in a few steps, I saw a stone house standing in front of me.Taihu stones of different sizes and shapes piled up half of the wall.The top is also made of bluestone.Thick and simple, it really forms a strong contrast with this quiet maple forest.

A lot of orchids, narcissus and other flowers and plants are planted between the rocks of Taihu Lake.Wan Yu regretted, "How beautiful it would be to set up two swings in the forest!" Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately told Zhixuan, "Go and tell the old housekeeper to set up two swings in the forest." A swing, made of wicker chairs."

Wanyu didn't expect Daiyu to be an activist, so she couldn't help shaking her head.Just as he was about to walk to the stone house, he saw a winding cobblestone road extending into the forest, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where is the inside?" He said that he had already walked in.Daiyu hurriedly followed and said, "Sister, go in and have a look. I'm sure you'll like it. It's a pity it's too cold today."

The two of them hadn't walked a few steps before they heard Wang Xifeng shouting from behind: "Go on your own, I'll wait for you here. I don't want to leave even a single step, and I'll come out again soon." After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Daiyu woke up. Now that Wang Xifeng is a month old, walking on the cobblestone road is very difficult.

Daiyu then turned around and saluted Wang Xifeng with a smile: "My sister-in-law is taking care of me, it's rare for sister Wan to come here, and Yu'er is so happy that she forgot that my sister-in-law is now a month old." What are you worrying about? Go and play on your own, and it’s okay for me to rest here.”

Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Daiyufang and Wanyu walked inside together, turned around a maple forest, and saw a larger half-stone house lying there.The reason why it is called a half-stone house is because this house is different from the previous one. The bottom is still made of Taihu stones, and the top is red pillars and windows.

A few pruning bamboos were planted behind the house, and there was a small pond in front of the house, with a few dead lotuses standing in it.Compared with the red maple in front, this place is more quiet.Wan Yu stepped in and took a look, well, there was nothing inside, the whole house was only left with a circle of bluestone roads for people to walk on, and a circle of large and small Taihu Lake stones, with a big pond in the middle .

The water is so clear that you can see the bottom, Wan Yu even saw that the bottom of the pond is covered with pebbles of various colors, and thought: This girl prefers this thing.See nothing to see.Wan Yu just turned around.Looking back, I found a plaque with green characters on a plain background hanging on the lintel, with three large characters of "Bibo Pool" written on it.

Turning back to the stone house in front, Wang Xifeng had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw the two of them approaching, she smiled and said, "If you don't come out, I'll go in first, don't talk about washing my remaining water." Daiyu laughed. : "This water is flowing, how can it become what is left?"

Wan Yu ignored the two people's joking, seeing that the lintel of the stone house was bare without a single word, she smiled and said, "I'll give you a word about this house, do you want it?" After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Dai Jade.Daiyu smiled and said: "Of course my sister gave it very well. At the beginning, I couldn't think of it so I left it empty. Now my sister is willing to write an inscription. How can Yu'er not be unwilling?"

Wanyu listened to Daiyu's words, pondered for a moment and said, "What about the word 'Hanyan Pavilion'?" Daiyu's eyes lit up and said, "Of course it's excellent! Sister, don't forget it first, and I will give it to you later." I'll write it down, and I'll get someone to make a plaque." Wan Yu smiled and nodded.He went in with the two of them.

The maids had already prepared everything, and the three of them took off their clothes and entered the water wearing only their panties and belly pockets.

The hot spring water gently flowed past her, making her whole body feel frivolous, and Wan Yu couldn't help but chanted softly: "The spring cold bathes Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water is smooth and smooth." After chanting, she opened her eyes and looked at Daiyu. Said: "The ancients also liked this way! Yu'er really knows how to enjoy it."

Wang Xifeng and Daiyu wash and soak every day, so they don't feel much.He only ordered the maids to boil water and boil the lotus leaves.For a moment, the fragrance of lotus leaves wafted on the noses of the three of them, and Wanyu stopped sighing, and became interested in the excellent lotus heart tea in Daiyu's mouth.

As soon as I took a sip and put it in my mouth, I felt the bitter taste filled the whole mouth, and after a while, a sweet and sweet taste echoed out.There is even a hint of sweet-scented osmanthus aroma.Wan Yu unconsciously sighed: "It really tastes good!"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Of course, the lotus heart clears the fire and eliminates dryness, and clears the blood. Honey nourishes the skin and protects the heart, and improves sleep. Drinking it often is the best." After thinking about it, she said: "Sister Wan also brought it to the princess. Some go back."

Wan Yu heard Daiyu mentioning her concubine and smiled and said: "Why bother me to take it? Concubine mother is at Hanshan Temple at this time, and younger sister sent it by herself. I don't know how happy concubine mother will be when she sees younger sister."

After hearing this, Daiyu was a little hesitant, not wanting Wang Xifeng to say: "This is very good. It doesn't matter that I came to Gusu City once, but I have never been anywhere except Lin's Mansion. Just accompany me to have a look, let's talk about it." The temple does not hinder the observance of filial piety, it is only a matter of offering incense sticks."

Daiyu thinks about it too, Wang Xifeng has been here for more than a month and only wanders around the mansion, why not take Wang Xifeng out for a walk together, she nodded in agreement.

Another quarter of an hour later, Daiyu said to Wang Xifeng: "Sister-in-law, go up quickly, you've hurt yourself carefully." Wang Xifeng knew that Daiyu was doing it for her own good, so she nodded and went up to change.Seeing this, Wan Yu didn't make much fuss, but she also got up in half an hour.

After a while, the three of them returned to Daiyu's yard, and without entering the house, Daiyu took Wanyu to the study to write for her.It was also the first time for Wang Xifeng to enter Daiyu's study, so she couldn't help but look at her.Daiyu's study room is more refreshing than before, only a table and a chair are placed in front of the window, and the rest are several large bookshelves full of books.

Wan Yu didn't look at anything else and saw a set of glass tea sets on the side of the desk, but she couldn't see the pen set that her brother gave her, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "It can be seen that it is a good thing. It's ready!" Seeing that Daiyu looked over in confusion, Wanyu glanced at the tea set.

Wang Xifeng happened to miss Wan Yu's eyes, and hurriedly asked: "What good thing? Show me too." Wan Yu hid her mouth and smiled but didn't speak. Rubbish talk, there is no need to spread it and ruin Daiyu's reputation.

Seeing that Wan Yu didn't answer, Wang Xifeng turned to Dai Yu and said, "Tell me, what good things have you hidden from me?" Dai Yu glanced at Wan Yu and smiled, "Where is there such a good thing? It's just a tea set, if you make green tea, it's not good, but those flowers are very good." After speaking, he used the tea set to make a pot of red date tea.

Two or three red dates were pitted, cut into shreds and placed in a small porcelain pot. Daiyu took some out and put them in a teapot, and added a few wolfberries, a chrysanthemum, and a little crushed rock sugar in it, and put them in boiling water. brew.After closing the lid and waiting for a while, he poured a glass for Wanyu and Wang Xifeng.

Both of them said it was very good after drinking, and Wang Xifeng said angrily: "It can be seen that you are sister Wanyu, my sister-in-law, no one wants to see me!" She soaked, and couldn't help distinguishing: "Sister-in-law is so unreasonable, could it be that you are eating bad food these days?"

Wang Xifeng thought about it too, he couldn't remember how many kinds of tea he had eaten in the past month, so he apologized and said with a smile: "Good sister, sister-in-law said something wrong, can't it be okay? Who made me so stupid now? Did you put it in your belly too?"

The three of them ate tea for a while, and Wanyu wrote "Hanyan Pavilion" to Daiyu. Daiyu hurriedly asked someone to take it and handed it to the old housekeeper Lin Yi, who asked someone to make a plaque to hang it. superior.Suddenly thinking of going to Hanshan Temple to offer incense, Daiyu summoned Grandma Sun.

Ever since the matter of Xuanmu Mountain, Nanny Sun seldom entered Daiyu's yard, and now she was so happy to hear Daiyu call her, so she ran over in a hurry.But when Daiyu said that she was going to Hanshan Temple to offer incense, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, but Daiyu said: "Mother, work hard and go to the temple to do some shopping, and we will go there early in the morning."

After she finished speaking, Daiyu thought for a while and said, "Mammy stopped by Guiyuan Temple to say hello. On the eighth day of the lunar new year, I went directly from Hanshan Temple to visit my mother." Speaking of this, Nanny Sun also knew that she couldn't say anything more , then nodded and backed out.

Although Nanny Sun disapproved of Daiyu's going out, Daiyu said she was going to offer incense and pray for blessings, and she also wanted to visit Jia Min, so naturally she couldn't stop her.The next morning, Nanny Sun took the two maidservants to Hanshan Temple.
