Chapter 66: Lin Dai's Dream of the Red Chamber
Chen Xi used a simple toothbrush made of pig bristles to dip it in salt and rinsed his mouth. After washing his face and feet in the kitchen, he returned to his room.
Under the dim oil lamp, Lin Dai was folding her clothes. When she heard the sound of Chen Xi opening the door, she glanced back and put the folded clothes in the wardrobe neatly. Because Zhou was busy on weekdays, she basically did the work of washing clothes at home and folding and tidying up clothes.
"Little wife, don't be angry. Can I tell you a story? I'll tell you whatever you want." Chen Xi said with a flattering smile.
"snort."
Lin Dai hummed softly, turned her head, deliberately not looking at Chen Xi.
After a while, Chen Xi did not make any noise. Lin Dai felt something strange, turned her head and just hit Chen Xi's forehead.
"Why are you behind me?" Lin Dai touched her jaw and said angrily.
"I want to kiss you, and I'm about to tiptoe, but who knew you turned around." Chen Xi had a thief smile on his face.
Lin Dai remembered the fact that Chen Xi said she would get pregnant after kissing her. She was very nervous. She immediately rushed to the edge of the bed, picked up her little pillow, blocked her chest, blocked Chen Xi's further "invasion", and her little face turned pale: "Don't come over."
"If you forgive me, I won't go through it. If you can tell me your life experience, I promise not to bully you in the future." Chen Xi suddenly found that Lin Dai was afraid of kissing her, and then hit a snake and followed the stick, and said in a threatening tone.
Lin Daiyi's face was dull and it took him a long time to figure it out. He nodded and said, "You want to know, I will tell you, but you are not allowed to tell your mother."
"Of course, I am a very trustworthy person. I didn't tell my mother about my kiss."
Lin Dai lowered her head, bit her lower lip with her teeth, and wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, she mustered up the courage.
"I used to have father and mother. My father and mother treated me well. I also had an older brother, three years older than me, and treated me very well. I don't know what happened. Last winter, my father was caught by some people and those people were so fierce. The clothes I wore were so strange."
Chen Xi asked, "Then tell me what's special about their clothes?"
Lin Dai frowned and recalled, and after a while he shook his head, but under Shen Xi's urging, he hesitated to describe the novel. Chen Xi sighed secretly that from Lin Dai's inconspicuous statement, the Jinyiwei who came to capture Lin Dai's father should be the "flying fish suit" and "embroidered spring sword".
The case of being able to dispatch the Jinyiwei is bound to be small!
"What happened later?" Chen Xi continued to ask.
Lin Dai sobbed: "My mother and I were locked in a cell. My brother didn't know where he went. Later, those strange people tied me and my mother with ropes, and some sisters, who rushed us on the road. I didn't know where they were going to take us. I was very scared and my mother comforted me."
"We are walking, and we don't stop every day. One night, those officials bullied my sister. When no one was taking care of me, my mother took me out. After three or four days, there were officers and soldiers chasing me behind me. My mother placed me in a cave and then went out to lead the officers and soldiers away."
"I waited in the cave for a few days, but I didn't wait for my mother. In the face of hunger and coldness, I had to come out to find food. I was confused and didn't know the whole world. When I came outside a town, I could no longer hold on. I couldn't help but kneel down and cried, not wanting to meet you and your current mother."
Lin Dai spoke very slowly, revealing her life experience and origin, her face full of sadness, and she was sobbing that she couldn't speak later.
Chen Xi did not have the intention to harm others. He just wanted to know Lin Dai's past so that he could determine whether there was any danger to his family.
"It's okay, don't you have a father and a mother now? Your parents will love you." Chen Xi said in a soft and intimate tone.
Lin Dai looked up at Chen Xi's eyes, then pouted: "No, my parents are all yours, not mine. They pamper me and love me now because of you!"
Chen Xi sighed with slight sigh, no wonder Lin Dai acted like a good girl in front of Zhou and Shen Mingjun. In fact, she was worried that she would be abandoned by Zhou in the future. After all, she was just a child bride adopted by Zhou. If she could not meet the standards of Zhou's daughter-in-law in the future, she would lose everything she had now.
Chen Xi smiled and wiped the tears from Lin Dai's face. Lin Dai was caught off guard, his head shrank back and almost fell off the bed.
Fortunately, Shen Xi was quick-witted and quickly pulled her down and comforted her repeatedly: "Little wife, even if her parents don't love you, won't I still have me? When you grow up, we kiss you every day. From now on, I will be your husband and you will be my wife."
Lin Dai finally burst into tears and laughed, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I'm not ashamed."
It seemed like he was cursing, but his tone and expression were much closer to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi got into bed and let Lin Dai sleep in the back seat. She started telling the story. This time, Chen Xi was telling the love story of Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. Because the heroine of the story was only a word different from Lin Dai, she felt very novel after hearing it.
"You are lying, why is her name Daiyu?"
"I can't answer this question. Maybe you have a fate with her. In fact, Daiyu's life experience is very pitiful. Her mother died when she was six years old, and later her father died of illness. She lived in her grandmother's house, which was called Daguanyuan. There were many beautiful ladies and maids, rockery pavilions, buildings and waterfronts. It was really beautiful."
Chen Xi told the story very slowly, and Lin Dai listened very seriously because she was only one word away from the heroine of the story. Chen Xi's entry point also started from Lin Daiyu's first entry into the Grand View Garden, and Lin Dai quickly integrated into the story.
When Chen Xi said the male protagonist's name "Jia Baoyu", Lin Dai suddenly realized and said: "It turns out to be called Yu."
Chen Xi glared at her: "Are you still listening to the story? I was talking so hard, but I was interrupted by you. What do you mean by him?"
Lin Dai smiled and stuck out her tongue. The unhappiness of her life just now had been wiped out, and she urged happily: "Tell me quickly, which jade is this? Is it a bad person?"
Chen Xi thought to himself that the little loli had different thinking than others, or because of her life experience, she was full of caution against others, so when she heard a strange name, she would intuitively judge whether it was a "bad person" or a "good person".
Chen Xi continued to talk about his Red Mansions. The story was not as complicated as the original work. It just spoke out the lingering love. But the Dream of Red Mansions was too long. Chen Xi talked for more than half an hour before he talked about the content of a few chapters. At this time, Lin Dai was already asleep beautifully.
The little girl in her sleep had a quiet smile on her face, as if she had been integrated into the story, becoming Lin Daiyu, who lost her parents, loved by her grandmother and cherished by her grandmother.
Looking at Lin Daihaitang's beautiful face sleeping like flowers in spring, Chen Xi felt very calm.
He really wanted to protect this little loli so that she could have a pure and happy childhood. But it was not easy to take good care of her, and he needed to care for her wholeheartedly to do so.
