Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 190 Luohong is not a heartless thing

(I really put a lot of thought into how to impress Daiyu.)
Let’s talk about Zhujin Tower later. After Wang Xifeng left, Baoyu felt panicked after listening to Sister Feng’s teasing. Thinking that Xing Xiuyan was passing by today and it was the Grain Festival again, on such a day, if he went to find Daiyu, he would not ignore her. ignore.

So he sneaked out while no one was paying attention.

But as soon as he reached the Fengyao Bridge, he was chased by Tanchun.

She gasped and waved to herself: "Brother Bao, come here, I'll talk to you."

I had no choice but to move over and ask what was going on.

Tanchun said: "In the past few months, I have saved another ten dozen coins, and you took it. When I go out for a walk tomorrow, if you have good calligraphy and painting, or are so light and naughty, bring some for me. Come."

If Aunt Zhao has done something inappropriate, she will inevitably be implicated in the future. By then, except Mrs. Wang, no one will be able to speak for her.

And Baoyu is Mrs. Wang's heartthrob, so she naturally wants to get closer and closer to her. Maybe she can help her plead for mercy in the future.

Baoyu said: "I've been wandering around the city and outside the city, in the corridors and small temples, and I haven't seen anything new and exquisite. There are just antiques of gold, jade, bronze, and porcelain lying around, and then there are silks, satins, food, food, and clothes. I haven't returned anything at home." Do you need to buy it outside?"

Tanchun said: "Who wants these, like the little basket made of willow branches that you bought last time, the incense box made of whole bamboo roots, and the wind stove made of clay, that's fine. It seems like something I like. , who knew they all fell in love with her and snatched her away like a treasure."

Baoyu smiled and said: "So I want this. It's not worth anything. Take five hundred yuan and give it to the boys to pull a cart."

Tanchun said: "What do you guys know? You picked things that are simple but not vulgar, straight but not clumsy. You brought a lot of them for me. I also made a pair of shoes for you to wear like the last time. They are better than that pair." How about a little more work?"

Baoyu smiled and said, "When you mention the shoes, I remember a story: That time I was wearing something and Aunt Zhao looked at me. Later, I heard from the attacker that Aunt Zhao complained angrily: 'Serious brother, wear the shoes with the stockings. No one can see it, just do these things!'"

When Tanchun heard about it, he immediately darkened his face and said: "How stupid are these words! Why am I the one who should make shoes? Isn't there no exception for Huan'er, no one for people? Ordinary clothes are clothes, shoes Socks are shoes and socks. How can there be a house full of girls and women complaining about these things! Who should listen to them! I am just doing nothing, making a pair and a half pairs, and giving them to my brothers and sisters, as I like. Who dares to control me! I'm so angry. It’s also white gas.”

After hearing this, Baoyu nodded and said with a smile: "You don't know, she naturally has another thought in her mind."

When Tanchun heard that, he became angry, turned his head and said, "Even you are confused! Of course she has those thoughts, but they are just vile and despicable views. She only thinks like this, I just don't care. I know the master and the wife, but I don’t care about anyone else. Even with my sisters and brothers, I will be friendly with whoever is good to me. I don’t know who is a legitimate concubine. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t say anything about her, but she is too stupid. It doesn’t look the same! There’s another joke: I gave you the money last time to carry that naughty thing for me. Two days later, she saw me and she said she didn’t have the money to do it. No matter how hard it was, I didn’t argue. . Unexpectedly, when the girls went out later, she started to complain, asking why the money I had saved was given to you instead of Huan'er. When I heard this, I felt funny and angry, so I went out to see my wife. .”

As the two of them were talking, they saw Baochai coming from a distance in the direction of Didui Pavilion, and Tanchun immediately stopped talking.

Go to Baochai with Baoyu.

Baochai said with a smile: "After finishing speaking, it is obvious that they are brothers and sisters. If you leave others and say that the ladder has gone, I can't help it after hearing a word!"

Baoyu and Tanchun hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing."

The three people here were talking, but Lin Daiyu woke up late due to insomnia at night and smelled Xing Xiu's smoke entering the garden. She was afraid that people would laugh at her for being lazy, so she quickly washed up and came out.

When we arrived at the Cuiyan Bridge, we happened to see three people chatting in front of the Fengyao Bridge. Seeing this, I thought that everyone else had brothers and sisters, but I was alone. I suddenly lost interest and crossed the Cuiyan Bridge sadly. Go north.

We walked along the corridor and willow embankment, and passed Qinfang Gate Bridge aimlessly. Thinking that we were not far from the Flower Burial Tomb, we walked along the edge of the pond towards the Flower Burial Tomb.

After walking around the Aojingxi Pavilion, I saw Lai Shangrong squatting by the pool, fishing for something in the water.

Although he was curious in his heart, the lonely man and the widow were about to turn around and leave, but Lai Shangrong happened to turn around and bump into the other side.

I saw Lai Shangrong holding the wet petals just fished out of the water in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why is Miss Lin here!"

It was certainly not a coincidence that Lai Shangrong turned back. He had waited for a long time and thought he had missed the time. He was about to go back when he saw Daiyu walking absentmindedly. Then he turned back and made enough preparations. He even sprinkled some water stains on his body. .

Lin Daiyu didn't answer but asked: "Brother Lai is fishing for these petals, is he trying to bury the flowers?"

He immediately laughed and said: "I didn't expect Brother Lai to have such thoughts!"

Lai Shangrong laughed at himself and said: "If you have a tiger in your heart, you can also smell the roses!" "If you have a tiger in your heart, you can smell the roses." Lin Daiyu tasted it carefully twice and asked curiously: "These petals can be found everywhere on the ground, why do you only pick up these petals in the water?"

Lai Shangrong typed the draft again in his heart, and then he talked eloquently: "Luohong is not a ruthless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers. The flowers and plants absorb the nutrients from the earth, and the flowers bloom so beautifully. When the flowers wither and fall to the ground , it becomes nourishment to feed back to the earth, and it goes round and round, which is the beauty of nature. But these petals fall into the water, instead of being turned into flower fertilizer, they will be eroded and rotted."

If you want to gain a place in the heart of a female literary youth like Daiyu, being unconventional or following other people's opinions may not have any effect.

In her opinion, only by proposing some unique and innovative ideas can it attract attention.

Lai Shangrong thought for a long time before he came up with this idea, and combined it with this poem by Gong Zizhen. After traveling so far, he finally stole a poem that was very suitable for the occasion.

'Fallen flowers are not heartless things, into Chunni more quadrangle. '

Daiyu muttered to herself, still intoxicated by Lai Shangrong's words, only to hear Lai Shangrong sigh again: "Flowing water is inherently erratic, and there is no difference between closeness and distance for things that fall in it. The so-called falling flowers are intentional, and running water is ruthless. The petals must have gone astray!”

If we say that the previous paragraph is still a slow picture, here is the poor picture.

Daiyu buries flowers, and can also say "the cold moon buries the soul of flowers", so she naturally empathizes with flowers.

Since Lai Shangrong knew that Baoyu was interfering with his marriage to Baochai, how could he not take advantage of it?

From the words passed back by Qingwen and Yuchai, he guessed that Daiyu knew that Baoyu was interceding for Baochai. Even if he didn't know it, couldn't he let her know through some means in the future?
Of course, with the talk of repayment in return, Daiyu would think of her own life-saving grace and could only do her best to obey fate.

Daiyu stood there in a daze. Lai Shangrong saw her eyes were soaked with crystal, so he didn't bother him and just watched quietly.

After a while, Daiyu seemed to have put down a huge boulder, and her face became alive. She looked at Lai Shangrong and smiled: "Listen to Brother Lai, my sister has benefited a lot. Let me work with you to eliminate these misguided people." Take out the petals!"

Lai Shangrong was ecstatic in his heart. Could this be preparing for self-salvation?

He looked indifferent, pretending not to know, and nodded: "It's okay for my sister to fish for flowers, but you have to pay attention to safety!"

Although her mental age is forty, she still pretends to accompany Lin Daiyu and play games with these boys and girls.

The two were very busy.

Daiyu asked curiously while fishing for petals: "'Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers.' Is this sentence a new work by Brother Lai?"

Seeing Lai Shangrong nodding, he hurriedly asked: "Why only this sentence?"

Lai Shangrong said shamelessly: "The writing of poems was originally out of interest. Today, at the Grain of Grass Festival, I saw the redness in the water and felt it. It's hard to write a good one. It's better to let it go! This is a little secret between us. Please don't tell my sister!"

Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Lai, is he afraid of being laughed at by his sisters?"

"Haha! Make my sister laugh!"

Only by sharing a little secret can we get closer.

Ah!
Also, before opening up the minds of different girls, there should be different personalities to deal with.

It's hard to say for others, at least Baochai and Tanchun are not suitable for strategy with such delicate characters. Perhaps the domineering and rough ones are more suitable.

Lai Shangrong didn't know that after his interruption, Daiyu's song of burying flowers ended without any problem.

But, this should be a good thing!
