Chapter 22 (5) "The Red House looks cold across the rain"

"The red building faces each other across the rain (flat voice) cold, and the beaded foil floating lantern returns alone." Li Yishan's famous line. Baoyu was kicked out of the Grand View Garden, and he was strictly ordered: without the words of the master and wife, he is not allowed to enter the garden casually. Aunt Zhao and the others took advantage of their wishes and sent people to keep making unannounced visits inside and outside the garden gate.Those who watch the garden gate and those who are related to Mrs. Xing are even more cautious and conscientious. It is difficult for Baoyu's people to come and go privately.

Because Baoyu entered the garden under the order of Yuanchun, Mrs. Wang had already told her about Baoyu's removal when she visited relatives in the palace as usual, and she had nothing to say.But because of this, the mother and daughter couldn't help discussing a few words about Baoyu's marriage - there are rules for meeting in the palace, and there are eunuchs in charge. Love words", Chang Tianlun's laughter.While exploring, Mrs. Wang also learned that Yuan Chun thought Baochai was the first choice. At this time, Baoyu was no longer placed in the old lady's big west courtyard, but another three huts were arranged for him in the east courtyard of the main courtyard, and he was asked to "study" here.All the girls in Yihong Courtyard couldn't all follow him anymore, they were chasing and dispatching one by one, all of them fell into disarray.Those daughters were reluctant to leave, clinging to each other, helpless, at the end of the day, everyone pulled me, I held him, gathered together, and cried.Those women who usually take care of the girls, although they are strict in the past, seeing this situation now, softened their hearts, and shed painful tears with them.

From then on, Baoyu and Daiyu would only meet each other in the old lady's room according to the etiquette of the morning and evening.But they also looked at each other sadly, unable to speak to each other, or deliberately avoiding each other, not daring to be as unsuspecting as before. There are no such places as Yingchun, Baochai, and Baoyu in the Grand View Garden. It is as if most of them are empty.The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is still there, but the green bamboo in front of the house is bleak and desolate, and it is even more beautiful than before. Not long after, Daiyu became seriously ill.

The matter of medicine has become several times more hectic.For some reason, Aunt Zhao paid more attention to Ms. Lin's illness than before. She visited and offered advice day and night, and was willing to contribute to the medical treatment.Suddenly Jia Huan also went to Jia Chang and Jia Ling's place, saying that he was helping with the management. Although she was in a hurry every day, Daiyu was getting worse and worse, and everyone could see that her expression was not right. Baoyu saw that Daiyu couldn't even make up her mind for a long time, so she asked Mrs. Wang for permission to see Sister Lin.When Daiyu heard that Baoyu was coming, it was as real as a dream, and she was shocked and unbelievable.And when I heard Baoyu's voice, I knew it was not a dream.But seeing that Baoyu has lost a lot of weight, his heart is like a thousand arrows in his chest, and he can't speak.After a long while, it was still Baoyu's voice—"Is my sister feeling better recently?"

Every word is the same as in previous years. "I feel a lot lighter—what are you doing here again?" It is also the same as every word, no different from previous years. It was as if nothing had happened, nothing had changed.
