A Dream of Red Mansions: Affectionate Beauty

Chapter 20



Chapter 20

That night, the sky that was originally hung with a round of cold autumn moon gradually became cloudy in the second half of the night, and at the fourth watch, it began to rain heavily in autumn.The so-called "one autumn rain and one cold", although the rain is not heavy, but after a long time, the temperature suddenly drops, and at five o'clock, it feels a little cold under the covers.

Yan Li was woken up by the sound of rain very early, tossing and turning, and couldn't fall asleep again, so he simply put on his clothes and sat up, listening to the sound of raindrops outside, thinking that a sensitive person like Daiyu, in such a rainy night, is even more so. Worry makes it difficult to sleep, right?

Once such thoughts strike, Yan Lifang realizes that he has really fallen into this emotional quagmire and cannot get out.When he suddenly realized this, he felt a little regretful in his heart, thinking that the previous three years were just a glimpse. Living with her under the same roof, seeing her audio and smiling faces every day, it is impossible to get away.

Thinking of this, Yan Li smiled wryly, and said to himself: "Is this a blessing or a misfortune?" Then he pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, and simply shook his head: "Forget it, let fate!" After finishing speaking, he stood up When I came to the case, after studying the ink carefully, I picked up the brush and began to paint carefully.

Speaking of which, Yan Li's strengths in painting are not in figures, but in landscapes, but today there are no landscapes in this painting, only a beautiful woman standing under a red plum tree, the red plums are blooming, the beauty is like a flower, the flower is beautiful, but the person is beautiful Katsukami!

It took Yan Li just over an hour to complete this picture of the beauty with red plums in one go.When the last stroke was finished, Yan Li gently put down the pen, stroked the sore wrist of the hand holding the pen, and admired it with satisfaction, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I was about to go back down to rest for a while, but when I looked up suddenly, I saw that the sky had already brightened, and then I realized that I had been painting for more than an hour, no wonder my wrist was so sore, I hurriedly shook off my drowsiness, and called someone to come in wash up.

Zhao'er quickly came in with the washing water, and while serving Yan Li to wash up, he replied: "Young master, Sister Qing'er went to the wife's courtyard early in the morning, and said that the young master gave orders yesterday, so she didn't come to give her leave. The young master kowtowed and told me to tell the young master."

Yan Li said "Oh", and finally couldn't bear it and said: "Madam treats the servants a little more severely, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot this time, when you are free, go and see her more, if the clothes are short, the clothes will be short." Money, just give her back from my monthly bill, don't have to return it to me."

Zhao'er hastily agreed with "yes", and believed Qing'er's words in his heart.Yan Li then ordered: "Go to Madam's room and inquire later to see if there are any guests today. If not, I will go and bid farewell to Madam after breakfast."

"My lord is leaving?" Zhao'er was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded, "It rained most of the night yesterday, the road must be muddy, not to mention the rain hasn't stopped yet, so you should wait a little bit longer, lord. "

Yan Li frowned and said: "This autumn rain will never end, who knows when it will stop." He added, "Let's see, if the rain doesn't decrease after breakfast, I will stay for another day. If it is small, yes We must go."

Zhao'er had no choice but to agree, combed Yan Li's hair carefully, and then ordered someone to pass the meal, and she herself followed Yan Li's instructions and went to Mrs. Wei's courtyard to inquire about the situation.

The sky always fails to meet people's wishes, Yan Li is in a hurry to leave, the rain is getting heavier, and after breakfast, there is a rushing trend, Yan Li has no choice but to suppress his desire to leave for the time being, and wait for the rain Stop and move.

At this moment, in Fenglianzhuang, inside Yanli's small house.

Yesterday Li Bo followed Yan Li's order and brought Daiyu's newly bought two maids.Because both of them came with ragged clothes and dirty faces, Daiyu ordered them to wash up first, and then asked Zijuan to find some clean clothes for them, and then make arrangements after resting overnight.

Coincidentally, it began to rain that night.Daiyu was originally a light sleeper, she woke up as soon as the rain fell, and then she tossed and turned on the pillow like Yan Li, she lost her sleepiness, she simply put on her clothes and went to the ground, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the plantains outside, she raised her head. The pen wrote a poem by the predecessors on the paper: "Early crocodile crows and rest, and the residual lamp is turned off and then bright. The night rain is known through the window, and the plantain first makes a sound. ("Ye Yu" Bai Juyi)"

After finishing writing, he suddenly laughed at himself: "The last two sentences are suitable for the occasion, but the first two sentences are wrong." After finishing speaking, he put down the pen and didn't get up, just sat in front of the window in a daze.

While he was in a daze, Zijuan came behind him at some point, and asked worriedly, "Why are you up, Miss?"

Daiyu jumped in surprise, and when she looked back, she saw that she was only wearing light green underwear, she hurriedly said: "Carefully freeze, go back and lie down!"

Zijuan said with a smile: "It's okay, what is the girl thinking, so preoccupied?"

Hearing her question, Daiyu said casually: "I didn't think about anything important, I just thought that the autumn rain has always been lingering, and I'm afraid it won't stop in a while, so I don't know how many things will be delayed."

Zijuan smiled, and echoed: "Young lady is right, if it rains continuously for three or two days, the road will be muddy, and those who are in a hurry will be delayed for a long time!"

Daiyu was startled for a moment, turned her head to look at her unconsciously, and said angrily, "What do you mean by that?"

Zijuan smiled and said: "It doesn't mean much, but I'm just worried that Mr. Yan will not be able to come home because of the rain."

"Hmph, I don't understand what you said. Mr. Yan has gone home, so naturally he is not in a hurry to come back. How can the rain stop him?"

Zijuan laughed and said: "Who knows, maybe Mr. Yan is here in the center of his home..."

"Zicuckoo, don't talk nonsense!" Daiyu scolded with a downcast face, "You're a girl, what's the use of guessing men's minds? Besides, Mr. Yan is our benefactor, how can we talk about him behind his back? If it gets out, what face do we have to stay here?"

Zijuan knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly apologized: "Miss, don't be angry, I don't dare to do it again." After a moment of silence, she sighed again, "Miss knows, I am sincerely for the sake of the girl, you... "Here, but couldn't continue, so he had to stop talking, silently poured a glass of water and handed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu was also silent, she just took a sip of the water, put it down again, and said: "It's not yet dawn, let's go to bed again!" After speaking, she took the lead to go back to the collapsed bed and lie down, leaving a place for Zijuan.

Zijuan had no choice but to pretend that nothing happened and came over to cover Daiyu again with the quilt, and then turned off the light again, then lay down next to Daiyu, thinking about the conversation with Daiyu just now, and unexpectedly No more drowsiness.
