Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

The author has something to say: Mother Jia taught: Fourth girl, look how beautiful your cousin Lin is, you will be the next one!

My assumption: Daiyu will be smooth.Tone set in Chapter 1.

Without Shenying's nerves, Fairy Jiangzhu lived a smooth life.

Jiangzhu didn't owe Shenying anything at all, how could she be short of water?

During the Flower Festival on the twelfth day of the second lunar month, the snow in the capital has not completely melted away, only the remnant plum blossoms and the freshly bloomed winter jasmine flowers.

It doesn't matter, if you lack flowers, you can make flowers.From the Xijiao Gate to the Jiamu Courtyard in Rongfu, there are lanterns and colorful hangings, and Xiaoguanzhuang is also hung with brocade and red. The main entrance and the side entrances of the Duke's era are all equipped with servants: the side entrance enters the prince's wife, etc., and the main entrance enters the princess and princess.

It is said that when the married woman enters the palace to congratulate her during the Chinese New Year, the empress specially asks about Daiyu's birthday, and the dignitaries who have not received the invitation also send congratulatory gifts in advance, and even Jia Mu, who originally wanted to do it well, raised the specification again.

As soon as Chen Shi (nine o'clock in the morning) passed, the guests came one after another.

The two wives of King Xing and Guining's aunt Yingchun, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Youshi in Ningfu, and Tanchun Xichun Xiangyun followed Jiamu to greet them respectfully.Behind them are Li Wan and Baochai Baoqin. The Xue family sisters are engaged, and their status is low, so it is not suitable for them to come forward.Tanchun, who was originally engaged, should also stay behind, but he had to prepare for a concubine to come with him.

However, after the guests were over, there was not a single concubine, all of them were prostitutes, even the royal princess was a concubine.

All the noble ladies are dressed in formal attire, and there is such a stereotyped taste.This is a silent gesture of favor: Don't steal the birthday star's limelight, Miss Linhou's family is the center.

Poor Daiyu experienced such a big scene for the first time, just seeing the ceremony cost her half her life, secretly exclaiming "I can't bear the hospitality".

After the ceremony, there are two tables at the table, one table for Nan'an Princess and Beijing County Princess (the queen's wife with a foreign surname), and one table for Anhe Princess and Zhongjing County Princess (royal women, clan women).

On the stage over there, a young servant who didn't leave his head took the playlist to the steps, and handed it to Mrs. Wang's companion, Zhou Rui's family.After accepting the order, she handed it to Lin Zhixiao's family (the maidservant of the former Duke's wife, who is in charge of internal affairs today).Lin Zhixiao's family put the tea on a small tea tray, bowed into the curtain and handed it to Guixiang, the concubine of the second room.Osmanthus was given to Mr. Zheng by the wife of the Duke, and her kung fu on the scene is better than that of Mrs. Wang.Seeing that Guixiang did not pass the play list to Mrs. Wang, but passed it to Mrs. Xing, saying that Mrs. Xing should be the head wife of Rongfu.

Mrs. Xing was born in a small family, and she was a bit timid on such an occasion. She hated Guixiang for not giving it to Mrs. Wang, and she had to accept the order under the eyes of everyone, and secretly complained: Who is it for?According to her seniority, the Concubine Nan'an is the tallest with the old lady's generation, but the royal family sits at the east table!

No matter how much you love someone, there is a decisive person. With a bite of his teeth, the misfortune will be diverted to the east, and handed to Daiyu, the little birthday star who is next to Jiamu.

The young lady of Lin Hou's family was so straightforward, she didn't even look at her grandmother to ask her, and immediately handed it to Princess Anhe, who made Princess Anhe only a few years older than her, and looked bright and elegant, which caught her eyes. .

Princess Anhe and Concubine Zhongjing County gave way and ordered an auspicious play.Afterwards, the playlist was transferred to Princess Nan'an's table, and with some humility, Princess Beijing said with a smile: "Order them to choose whatever they want to sing."

Everyone praises it, but in fact, that's what the show is about, singing on stage and laughing and drinking off stage.Besides, the drama must be familiar to everyone, and no one would order a cold drama today.

After a while, the show opens and the dishes are presented.After serving the dishes, there is a soup. After everyone changes their clothes, they go back to the table. The table has been replaced with good fruits, and the tea is here.

The Princess of Zhongjing County asked about the famous Xiaoguan Village, and Mother Jia said a few words, and then led Xichun: "My granddaughter has no other skills, she can draw a few strokes, and she painted those red houses."

Everyone chatted in amazement and praised the "talented woman".Concubine Nan'an held Xichun's hand and asked how old she was and what she did on weekdays.

Xichun is not a taste, the old lady specifically named her, and the Nan'an concubine asked her so personally, so it is self-evident why she came here.

The little concubine with a rebellious spirit pursed her lips and smiled, and answered the irrelevant question, "I'm ashamed to be ashamed, the red room was painted by my third sister, cousin Lin and me."

Concubine Nan'an was so experienced, she was not embarrassed at all, she curled her lips and said to Jiamu: "All the girls in your family have both ability and virtue, and they are all good, so I don't know which one to praise."

Princess Beijing smiled and said: "Then lead us to the village together."

Everyone praised the kindness again, and all the ladies and ladies got up one after another, walked slowly and whispered to Xiaoguanzhuang,

In the Baosha opposite Jiamuyuan, the real designer of the red room was drinking and laughing with Lin Xing and the sons of Shi Hou's family.

It is rare for a girl's birthday party to have a men's table, but Daiyu has no father or mother but only one heir brother, so Lin Xing had to come.The three sons of Shi Hou's family who were studying with him accompanied him, and the four of them rushed to the Rongfu ahead of the female guests.Later, according to Baochai and Ji's example on that day, a men's table was set up in Baoyu's Baoxia.

Baoyu dragged Jia Ling to accompany him. There was nothing he could do. The older ones went to the county exam. It was too lonely for him to accompany the wine alone.For a moment, he even wanted to catch Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, but he was afraid that he would not be able to sit together.

Only Baoyu present here knows that Lin Ruhai recognized Lin Ruhai as his "adopted son" at the beginning, but Lin Xing became an heir after being extorted by the historian Hou Ye.The two met each other at the banquet where Lin Ruhai had adopted his adopted son, Lin Xing couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

The fake stone is very clever, never mentioning the Lin family affairs, only talking about scientific research, quacking four books and five classics.

Lin Xing knew that a certain brother of his had passed high school and was about to take the imperial examination. While congratulating him, he mentioned his anxiety about the examination.Fake Stone had never seen Qiu Wei before, and only picked him up and sent Zhang Mingtong back when he was taking the Chun Wei exam, but he knew how to break up, and he gave the precautions for taking the exam, as if he had experienced Qiu Wei in person.

The three sons of Shihou's family didn't need to take scientific examinations, but seeing that Jia Ling's claws were a bit strong, they talked about martial arts.Jia Ling was very proud of the martial arts arena in the family school, she waved her claws and fists in high spirits, and the four of them gesticulated in the hall and corridor.

Lin Xing shook his head: "A soldier's weapon is an ominous weapon, not a gentleman's weapon. Tranquility is the best."

The fake stone answered: "Victory is not beautiful."

The biliterate men, who could only be beaten up on stage, looked at each other and smiled, and then chatted about topics of interest to scholars.

Baoyu thought it would be boring to accompany the guests today, but unexpectedly he and Lin Xing had a common topic, er, to be precise, fake stones.There is a reason for this: he was always abused by senior brother Zhang, the teacher Lu Zuo was full of friends, and there was a silent source in the family school. He was more talented than him in terms of real talent and learning, and he was a guilty puppet. I always feel like a shadow from behind, and I dare not expose myself as a fake scholar, and I usually use my strengths to avoid weaknesses.Lin Xing was surrounded by the halo of the Imperial College Supervisor, and stayed by Lin Tanhua's side for several years. He thought that he was not as good as Lin Jiansheng, so he was very open-minded in speaking.Afterwards, a certain one was pleasantly surprised to find that he seemed to be no worse than Lin Xing!Sure enough, a famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice, and the abuse is not in vain, and he has a lot of energy!

In fact, the fake stone was deceived. Lin Xing was an authentic gentleman in ancient times, and he was a concubine who became the heir of the Lin family.

Of course, the fake stone is not bad, otherwise Lu Yizhong would not accept him as a disciple.At present, he owes some, because Lu Yizhong has not taught him seriously, and is slowly grinding, in order to turn him "only study hard".Because of this, he read a lot of miscellaneous books, and Zhang Mingtong not only taught him etiquette, but also ordered his junior disciples to memorize and understand everything related to "ritual", practice makes perfect...

The host and guest are suitable, and the time has passed without realizing it.Suddenly the servant came to report in a hurry: "The father-in-law is coming soon, the old lady asked Master Lin Biao and Master Bao to wait for the order in the main hall of Xiaoguanzhuang."

Baoyu was surprised, he knew that the concubine Xiande would send congratulatory gifts, but it was up to the female relatives to receive the gifts, why did the old lady call her over?Could it be that the evil spirit is not dead, but still wants to arrest me and show it to those noble ladies?But under the banner of waiting for the imperial edict of the empress, no matter how unwilling she is, she dare not find excuses not to go, and she has to tidy up her clothes obediently!

From Baoxia to the main hall of Xiaoguanzhuang, it is only a few steps from the north side gate of Zhuangzi.Fake Stone thought of the bitter wait at the family visit, deliberately procrastinated, and asked for three times and four invitations after working.

In this way, when a certain one came to the ground, an incense table was set up at the middle gate, and the ladies and noble ladies were nowhere to be seen, only today's birthday star Daiyu and the masters of the Rong Mansion, including the political lord who was on crutches, and who was supported by servants. Forgive me sir.

The fake stone couldn't help cursing the wicked feudal society, as long as there is still a breath, you have to get up to accept the order, and appreciate the mighty grace from the emperor's concubine.

He was thinking wildly on one side, while Tanchun rushed forward on the other side: "The old lady calls you over."

The two hurried over, and Mother Jia took out a pair of exquisite purses: "Here, please invite the father-in-law who announced the decree to drink tea."

The fake stone was slightly stunned, the head of the family is here, why is it the turn of the two green-headed boys to step forward?Think again: Yes, you can't be disrespectful, fake uncles and fake fathers are both inconvenient, and you must be disrespectful when you go forward.

But why two purses?It is impossible for Xuanzhi to have two father-in-laws, could it be that both are for that one, one represents the Lin family, and the other represents Sister Lin's natal family... MD is so complicated!

Jia's mother was also a little depressed, the rules of the leadership are so strict, the only Jia family present here who understands the rules is her old woman who is half buried in the ground!From the eldest daughter-in-law of the Grand Duke to today, there is no successor.Don't mention the two sons, one is clumsier than the other, when the eldest girl became a concubine, the eldest was too stupid to watch!

Just because Jia She couldn't learn anything, she and the earl specially asked for a good wife for the eldest son, but it's a pity that she is gone.

Taking a sideways look at Xing, who can't get on the high platform, the old lady is even more depressed. It is understandable that Xing came from a small family, but the second daughter-in-law, Wang, is just as stupid. No way.Lian'er and Sister Feng are quite clever, but the young couple have so many things to do, they haven't learned much, and they don't know when they will return home.

She wanted to look like she could cultivate Baoyu, but it turned out that the second son of the second wife was supporting the facade, making people laugh!

Time passed with each mind twisting and turning, probably the concubine Xiande was considerate of her natal family, and she didn't have to wait so long for her relatives.

After the fake stone arrived, it was about time to touch a stick of incense, and the eunuch in red walked in with a guard of honor.The eunuch holding the imperial edict followed closely behind, and erected an imperial edict to the south: "The emperor's edict of Fengtian Chengyun said..."

The fake stone was stunned, isn't it the empress or the emperor?Could it be that sister Lin was called into the palace to be a concubine?There is a talent show over there, you said that if you don't go the right way and concubine concubine indiscriminately, if you don't mention the harem, all civil and military officials will also blow their hair?

Fortunately, this is not the first time he has listened to the imperial decree, and the foundation of ancient prose is quite deep, so he didn't know why after listening to it.

Uh, the emperor didn't have a convulsion this time. The decree is not to make a concubine, but to give a marriage, to give the daughter of the Lin family who is "virtuous, virtuous, respectful and prudent" to the prince of Zhongjing County as his wife.It's not appropriate to say that, the main concubine and concubine of the prince of the county should all come from Xiunu.However, there are exceptions from time to time, and in today's world, he messes up from time to time. He can even make five concubines from the four concubines made by the ancestors, let alone a wife of a prince.

The last part of the imperial decree is the reward: a gold and jade wishful handle, some colorful satin, some gold and jade rings, some money and silver, and at the end, "Lin Jiansheng accepts the decree".

At the sound of "Lin Jiansheng accepts the decree", Jia's mother's heart sank: Lin's family is going to open a mansion, and Daiyu will not leave the court from the Rong Mansion!

The foolish woman Wang thought: The Lin family needs money to open a house, but I have no money... The Lin family has a mansion in the capital, and there is also a dowry house for my sister-in-law Jia Min, not to mention how decent it is, just need to renovate.That's right, Master Lin is gone, there is no need to renovate according to the specifications of the Marquis Mansion, the money rewarded by the emperor is enough to renovate, it is not enough for the old lady and there is no money to subsidize it!

The fake stone didn't respond to this at all, he had learned the rules of leading the decree from his seniors, but asking the eunuchs to "drink tea" was heresy, and it was the first time, so it was inevitable that he would be nervous, and he only sneaked a peek at what the imperial eunuchs did.

Lin Jiansheng lived up to his expectations, and calmly invited the Xuanzhi eunuch to drink tea in the side hall, but his hands were trembling a little, and he seemed unlikely to be able to stuff his purse.False Stone thought that he was more experienced than him in this matter, and after everyone shouted long live Ping, he stepped forward quickly, and Ma Liu stuffed the purse into the hands of the Xuanzhi eunuch.A certain father-in-law squeezed and followed them to the side hall with a smile.

Serving the tea, Lin Xing gritted his teeth and put the purse on the tea tray.Don't make fun of them, if you haven't done it before, it is definitely difficult to put the purse into the other party's hands "naturally".

A certain eunuch didn't think he was reckless, and while serving tea, he tucked his purse into his sleeve lightly.

After taking a sip of tea, the eunuch said meaningfully: "Mr. Lin is loyal to the king and serves the country, and the daughters of the Lin family will be happy for the rest of their lives."

The two green-headed boys stood up respectfully to express their thanks, and the eunuch Xuanzhi asked Lin Xing when they would get married.

Lin Xing originally planned to get married as soon as he was a filial piety, but the concubine Zhen was not well a few years ago, and the officials and the harem did not hold banquets. Historians have always been cautious and planned to wait until the limelight passed.So he replied that he wanted to listen to what his adoptive father wanted.

The eunuch Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes, and said jokingly: "Get a family and start a business, start a family first and then start a business, your sister and Ji get married, you don't want to be admitted to Juren and then start a family, right?"

Fake Shitou's heart skipped a beat, and after seeing off the eunuchs, he whispered to Lin Xing, "Hurry up and get married, the sooner the better!"

Lin Xing was puzzled, and asked with his eyes. I was just a supervisor (student), even if the Supreme Emperor passed away, he would not be able to marry for three months. Is there such a hurry?

Fake Stone looked away, he just casually reminded him, he couldn't explain it clearly, it was his sixth sense... Well, everyone knows that Xuan Zhi eunuchs don't talk by the way, he probably will soon enter into troubled times, The historian is a general, and Lin Xiaozi can leave the historian with his wife when he becomes a family member, and hide in the shadow of Lin Ruhai.

But it is said that the distinguished guests avoided entering Jia's mother's courtyard and were entertained by You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.When Jia's mother came in, everyone congratulated her.

Princess Zhongjing took a golden fork from her head and stuck it in Daiyu's head.This must be done when getting engaged to show that the mother-in-law is satisfied with the daughter-in-law.

Everyone gave another series of congratulations, and Daiyu was at a loss. She knew that she would marry into a noble family, but she was a bit surprised and at a loss when she was given a marriage at the first birthday banquet after her filial piety. No joy or sorrow, facing the future mother-in-law, it is absurd to have no timidity or joy, the only feeling is tiredness.

At this time, the concubine of Nan'an and the princess of Beijing County followed the ceremony one after another, with nothing more than gold and jade rings and hairpins.

Princess Anhe took off a string of fragrant beads on Daiyu's wrist, and said with a smile, "Guanglu Temple has been opened. I like to kneel down to worship Buddha in mid-spring. The side hall is quiet, and chanting faintly comes from the main hall." The sound of praise is better than a cup of fresh tea, burning incense and listening to the piano. In the future, I will invite you to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha, and watch the grass and green mist lighten up."

Daiyu is sure, she secretly thinks that life is long, there can't be too many scenes like this today, most of the days of the clan women should be leisurely and comfortable.So he gave a gift: "It's like a poem and a picture scroll, and I look forward to it very much."

Mrs. Jiamu Wang is not as naive as her. What Mrs. Wang thinks is: What a pity!The imperial family did not enter the court, and originally hoped that Daiyu's marriage would help Baoyu, but now this help is extremely limited.

Jia's mother thought: I'm going to ask the royal family to educate my granddaughter.This is not difficult, but I can only sigh that the marriage of the second granddaughter and the third granddaughter is not satisfactory. Lian and his wife married Yingchun into the Xue family for money. What did the Wang family want to ruin Tanchun?

But to a certain extent, her old man can also understand that any mistress does not dislike concubine daughters, and her own three concubine daughters are all married to good-looking sons and brothers.But that would be a good face, Wang's blatantly marrying a concubine daughter to a poor orphan, it's too unbearable!Youshi and his wife from Ningfu are also bastards, so Xichun cannot be ruined by them.Well, let Xichun and Daiyu learn the rules together.
