Yucuo of the Red Chamber

Chapter 221

Eunuch Chen nodded and said: "I don't quite understand what the girl said, but since the girl said yes, I just wait. As for beating the board, there are often disobedient servants in the palace. If you beat the board, you can continue There is nothing wrong with working. But since the old inner minister retired, Eunuch Dai seldom hits people, and sometimes it’s just to scare people."

Daiyu shook her head and didn't bother to care about this way of teaching servants.Only when the eunuchs were ready to go back and forth, Daiyu hurried to take a bath and change clothes to prepare for a rest.Eunuch Chen let people go, no problem.

Lying on the bed, the two sisters talked at night, Xichun briefly told Daiyu about the Prison Temple and about Sister Feng and Baochai.When it comes to Sister Feng, Xichun is not very clear about it, and Daiyu is not very worried. She doesn't like to take care of outside affairs if she can. As for those dealing with things, she has never been interested.Some people take care of it, no one takes care of it, and she doesn't interfere.Speaking of Baochai, the two sisters still couldn't help sighing, and couldn't help worrying about her. Although they didn't like her, it was difficult for sisters to be together.

"Those things, let it take its course. I only worry about you. We grew up together, and you are very different from them. I have asked about the situation of the two of them. They are both good couples. Sui'er is more sensible. , the family background is good; Qi Wen is pure and kind, and comes from a famous family. The rest depends on your own feelings, and you should decide who you like early, so as not to delay the other one." Looking at Xichun's thinning face, Daiyu was really worried Can't bear it.

Xichun blushed and got under the quilt, buried it for a long time, and murmured: "Sister Lin, are you and brother-in-law Lin really not married yet? Where did you go just now? They are not surprised, do you often spend time with each other? What about together? Didn’t you do a good job?”

"Stinky girl! I'm telling you the truth..." Daiyu blushed, and covered Xichun's head with the quilt even harder. She was so anxious that she kicked her hands and feet and managed to get out from the side, her face flushed red , hurriedly begged for mercy, "Good sister, I'm just curious," said here, blushing even more, leaned over carefully, and said coquettishly, "Sister said to try to get along with them, I was thinking, sister often gets along with her brother-in-law, what's the matter?" Try it. Good sister, I don't know at all..."

Daiyu thought for a while, blushed, and smiled: "No matter what, when you are alone, you must remember, 'When you are in heat, you stop when you are polite'. If he dares to easily exceed the courtesy, it is absolutely unreliable .Otherwise, as long as you like... you can do anything. Their men often talk about this outside, and they understand better than us, so you can just think about it yourself."

"Sister, the flowers they gave me don't matter. Also, just now I saw my brother-in-law hugging my sister, in front... Sister, it's okay?" Xichun thought to herself, nodded, and suddenly asked mischievously Said, "Sister, how is brother-in-law treating you? You said that you want to find the one with the most feelings, that is, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with him', does my sister feel this way?"

By the way, Daiyu lay on the pillow, looked at Xichun, thought for a long time, nodded and said: "Remember, don't call him brother-in-law again when you go out, don't let people hear, let people make trouble. As for the feeling... sometimes, You want to live with him forever, not only in this life, but in life after life. Although no one knows what the next life will be like, but at this time, you will think so...' Life and death are broad, and talk to Zicheng. Hold your hand , grow old together with your son. You are so broad, you don’t want to live. You are so happy, you don’t believe in me.’ Sometimes, beyond emotion, it’s a feeling, a meeting in the bottom of my heart..."

Xichun blinked her eyes, somewhat unable to understand.Playing with Daiyu's hair, sighed: "Sister, with this feeling, my whole person has changed now, good sister, if I can do this one day, it would be great!"

"Silly girl, it depends on fate, go to bed quickly. Let's see what kind of fate you will have tomorrow, and what kind of decision you can make." Daiyu got into bed, smelling his lotus fragrance coming from the quilt, Another good night's sleep.

Xichun still doesn't quite understand, so just go to sleep, it's useless to think about it, it needs to be understood with another person, it's a pity that she has "two" other people, it's really troublesome.

In the early morning of the next day, Sui'er and Qi Wen dressed neatly, showed their most heroic sides, rode on tall horses, and escorted Xichun's sedan chair up the mountain.Daiyu looked amused, she gently stroked her face in shame and cherished Chun, and let's see how she smoothed out the two peach blossoms.Xichun sat in the sedan chair, accompanied by Youran and Yin'er, but kept looking a little further away.Taking a closer look at these two people, they were really on par, and they were extremely distressed for a while.

When everyone came to the temple, the other monks saw that there was no oil and water, and the Buddha ignored them and left.There are only a dozen or so monks left in the temple, and with the addition of a dozen or so lay Buddhists, the space is much wider.After the people finished reading scriptures in Guanyin Hall, they still ate fast here.The abbot was helpless now, even if he was full of annoyance, it was useless, because the old monk Haomei was always with him, and he was extremely respectful.Eunuch Chen refused, that is, he would not give any more money, and let's see what they can do.

Unexpectedly, another tortoise seller came to the door, not the one from yesterday, but an old lady, sitting at the door without shouting, just sitting quietly in the corner of the temple entrance, not yelling. blocked the way of the people.A head of white hair, casually rolled up, with a half-worn navy blue forehead tied on his head; his face is wrinkled, and his complexion is fair; the old coat on his body is not very clean, but it is neatly tidied up, and he wears blue cloth shoes on his feet, just like that Sitting on the stone in the corner of the door, he watched the crowd eagerly.

After Daiyu's words yesterday, everyone lost interest. Judging by the appearance of the old lady, she is not poor and has nothing to eat.This turtle is definitely not something she can catch, maybe her son caught it and asked her to sell it, maybe her son is hiding in a corner, waiting for the cash, or if he can't sell it, he will beat the old lady up.But no one cared about her, and when they came out after dinner, everyone happily prepared to go up the mountain.Everyone went out and passed by, but no one paid attention to her, and she didn't move or speak.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Daiyu suddenly felt a soreness, a kind of helpless sourness, she suppressed it and didn't want to care about it.The Buddha is riding on the horse, and he doesn't care, who knows how much the turtles are today, and how can someone come to sell turtles in this kind of place, just pick so well.Xichun never cared about these things, the old woman's house has too many, and there are all kinds of things, they are not new.

Everyone walked forward silently, as if there was an indescribable depression. After a while, everyone came to the big rock.That place seemed to have become the habitat of everyone. Youran and Yin'er helped Xichun get out of the sedan chair, and said in surprise: "Where is Qi Wen? Let him carry the girl's bag, the cloak is still inside." The sky is a bit cloudy, maybe I'm used to serving Daiyu, seeing her wearing a cloak, I hurried to ask for it for Xichun, but I turned around, turned around, and still didn't see Qi Wen.

"Little bastard, where are you going to be lazy?" Eunuch Chen was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't see him coming, and blamed him again, "It's just a burden, you can just put it in the sedan chair, let him be a careless brat take what?"

Leisurely stamped her foot and said: "We took it out early in the morning, and Sui'er wanted to take it when he saw it, but he snatched it away. We thought that the girl had ordered him to serve the fourth girl, so we shouldn't be wandering around."

"I want to come", there are many things in the world that I want to come to.Sui'er dismounted from the horse and handed it over to the groom, wondering what he could do with the bundle.Xichun wasn't cold, but he was worried, a kind of unreasonable worry, lest he might get caught up in something, or think of something else.Although the young man is very annoying, he speaks in a strict manner and refuses to give way, but if he really wants to do something, he must be very serious, so as not to make any mistakes.

Daiyu was the only one among the crowd sitting aside, sipping tea leisurely, not in a hurry at all; Master Buddha glanced at her, his eyes lit up, and he also went to sit and drink tea for a while, and then walked to Huagu with a good breath. Go for a treat.Sure enough, after a while, Qi Wen came riding his horse, blushing and sweating. Seeing that everyone was in a hurry, he jumped off the horse and said with a silly smile: "I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to say, Eunuch Chen, don't hit me!" butt."

Eunuch Chen said angrily: "Sui'er, kick him. Say, what are you doing? If you don't know clearly, you will still hit him."

Qi Wen rubbed his head, thought for a while, and said, "I just left the girl's burden in the temple, and I didn't dare to say it, for fear that my father-in-law would hit me..." Standing there, he was kicked by Sui'er, and continued, " I thought everyone would go forward, but I caught up later, but I didn't know that I would be...don't dare next time, miss, please forgive me." Seeing Youran coming to grab the burden viciously, Qi Wen hurriedly begged.

As long as it's okay, everyone rests for a while, beats and scolds a few more times, and continues on the road.Unexpectedly, within a few steps, I saw the old lady kneeling by the roadside, kowtowing to everyone non-stop.Everyone recognized that it was the old lady just now, and they were suspicious. They didn't know what she was going to do again. Could it be that she was clinging to everyone?Or were they all glued to by the turtle king?In this world, there are all kinds of people, even if she tells you how miserable it is, it may not be true; even if she takes you to her house, it may not be true.That powerful liar, one-stop service, even the "home" is fake.

Eunuch Chen asked the little eunuch to help her up, and asked, "Old man, what's the matter?"After all, it will always be troublesome and unreasonable to argue with an old lady.

The old lady wiped her tears and said: "The young master gave me two taels of silver just now. It was probably a mistake, but it was a gold nugget. This is not a good thing. The turtle is not worth two taels of silver. Giving two taels is already a lot. I'm here to thank you. The gold nugget will still be returned to the young master." Huh?Everyone was taken aback, the old lady had already forced the gold into the hands of the little eunuch.
