The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Xuanwu five years, June [-]th.

Shang Chanchan took Fuling to the east courtyard to meet Xinzhai.

While walking, she said with a smile to Fu Ling: "Brother's marriage is really tiring, and everyone in the house is exhausted. Now it's finally consummated. In the past few days, I see everyone looking lazy."

Fu Ling has been with Shang Chanchan for many years, so she is more daring to speak, so she said at this time: "Uncle and grandma are newly married, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the young lady to bring slaves here."

The implication is that it is not good for you to be a light bulb when you are newly married.

Shang Chanchan spread her hands and said innocently: "It's some rare food from Cheng En Gong's mansion, and my mother asked me to give it to my elder brother and sister-in-law. Why do you blame me?"

Fu Ling thought to herself: Ma'am, the meaning is to ask the girl to send a servant girl to send it away, but the girl took the chicken feathers as arrows and wanted to play with the grandma, so she used this as an excuse.

Now I am not afraid of the uncle anymore.

After Shang Chi became the crown son, he moved to the east courtyard of the mansion alone, occupying a quarter of the Baoninghou mansion.

Therefore, there are also pavilions and pavilions, water pavilions and pavilions.

There is also a curved water in the garden, which merges into a lotus pond, and the lotus and green leaves look like brocade.

The water introduced is all injected by mountain springs, which can be learned from the purity, and it is a pavilion near the pool.Jianxinzhai next to it is Shang Chi's study.

It is summer now, and when you open the window, you can see the wind and the lotus.

Daiyu was born in the south of the Yangtze River, but she likes the color of these green lotuses, so she often stays in Jianxinzhai these days.

Shang Chanchan searched here, but saw that the eldest maid in Shang Chi's house, named Shiliu, said straightly: "Back to the eldest girl, the uncle and the eldest grandmother are going boating on the pond."

Although she still has the stereotyped look that all the maids in Shang Chi's house have, the kind printed in the mold of the rules, but there is also some joy in her eyes.

Shang Chanchan joked: "Sister-in-law is getting started, your life will be easier."

Pomegranate blessed her body and said happily: "The eldest girl is right. The eldest grandma is like a fairy, she respects others and treats her servants kindly."

There is another sentence that I dare not say out loud, I can only shout from the bottom of my heart: the most rare thing is that grandma can persuade grandpa!Save us from the fire and water.

Shang Chi is not easy to serve.

He has always been well-behaved and has a big temper. Anyone who misplaces an outside post for him, or tampers with a book for him will be severely punished.

Besides, Shang Chi is a man after all, and there are a lot of things going on outside. When he comes home, he doesn't care about the specific grades of the maids in the house, and they divide their work.

Anyway, there was a mistake, and the relevant personnel even sat down.

So there are some things in the house where there is no attachment, uneven joy and sorrow, and mutual excuses.

It was Jiang who could not watch it occasionally, so he took care of his son.

Now that Daiyu came in, Shang Chi immediately called everyone in the house to greet Grandma, and handed over all the affairs of the East Court to Daiyu face to face.

The people in Shang Chi's house were also very happy.

If you are not afraid of being supervised, if you are afraid that no one will supervise you, you have to do well by yourself, and you will be punished if you do not do well.

It's almost like there is no teacher to teach you, and you have to learn to be self-taught and take a [-]-point test. If you fail the test, you will hit it.It's really hard to be human.

Now that Daiyu is getting started, these maids are like rain after a long drought.

Seeing that the uncle respects grandma very much, and he never refuses any housework that should be handed over, so naturally he serves with all his heart.

The empress was afraid that Daiyu was a young woman with a thin skin, and that if a respectable family from Baoninghou's mansion gave birth to a son who would not obey the rules, she would suffer a disadvantage, so she specially married four maids from the palace as dowries for her.

Unexpectedly, all of them are useless.

The original maids in Shang Chi's house were more dedicated than these maids, and they almost regarded Daiyu as a bodhisattva who saved suffering.

The grandma said that one is one, and they are only happy to have a guide from now on, and they are no longer afraid of being punished if they don't know the pulse of the uncle.

Only now did Daiyu realize that what Shang Chanchan said that day was absolutely correct.

Everyone in the mansion was afraid of coming to the uncle's house to serve, and they cried when they heard that they were going to be sent over, it was true.

Daiyu also took care of the family in Pingyanghou's Mansion for several years, so it is naturally easy to sort out the dozens of people in the east courtyard at this time.

But in a day or two, the population and accounts will be clear.

Jiang was considerate of their newlyweds, so he said that after three months, he would hand over the affairs of the housekeeper to Daiyu, and let her be loose in these three months.

After all, there is no headed wife in the Marquis of Pingyang, and Daiyu has suffered a lot from the process of the wedding in the past few months.

Jiang shi has always been a careful person, and he didn't want Daiyu to be careless, so he specially called her here to clarify the matter.

"Yu'er. Although we have become a decent mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I still treat you as my daughter in my heart. I will think about you as much as I think about Chanchan."

"That's why I told you to take over the housekeeping a few months later, not because I don't trust you."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I understand that my mother cares for me."

Jiang Shi sighed a few words: "I am both happy and sad to hear you call me mother.

The image of a young person like you walking beside Madam Lin, pulling her sleeves and calling for mother is still in front of my eyes. "

Then he took Daiyu's hand and said: "There have been many things in Beijing in the past two years. After these things are over, ask Chi'er to take you back to the south of the Yangtze River to do a water and land ceremony for Mrs. Lin, and also ask him, the son-in-law, to visit his mother-in-law in a serious manner." It is."

Daiyu didn't expect Jiang to think about such a thing for a long time, her eyes turned red.

Daiyu is not an ordinary boudoir girl, not to mention that before she got married, Lin Ruhai had explained the affairs of the court to her clearly, but the poisonous crab she saw with her own eyes in the Empress Dowager's palace was enough for her to understand that the water in Beijing is now muddy. what it looks like.

Her father, her husband, even her grandmother's house.

Everyone is involved.

Therefore, she was also considerate of Shang Chi, and never mentioned the matter of asking him to take her to the ancestral grave of the Lin family in the south of the Yangtze River to pay homage to Jia Min.

Whoever imagined it, Jiang Shi thought of it for her.

Seeing the red circles in her eyes, Jiang couldn't help crying, he held her in his arms and said, "Good boy, no matter how much I loved you in the past, I couldn't show it. After all, there is a queen in the palace, and you have a grandmother outside the palace." . Of course I can't go past them."

"But it's different now. It's only right that I love you."

"Good boy, from now on our two houses will be your home.

You'll know when you grow up later, merchants don't have so many rules, and it's all vain etiquette to return to your mother's house after three festivals.

Back then when my natal family was still in Beijing, I didn't go back for a few days, and Mrs. Xianhou drove me back. "

"Anyway, the family just gets a car and leaves. There is no need to set a date. You miss your father, and when he is on holiday, just go back."

Daiyu leaned her head on Jiang's shoulder, thinking of Jia Min: Mother, if you are still here, you will be happy to see me marrying such a family.

Now let's put aside the trivial matters of the past few days for the time being, and just say that Shang Chanchan came to find his elder brother and sister-in-law to be light bulbs under the pretext of delivering food.

Who knows that they haven't seen each other in the study, but when the maid said that the couple went boating, Shang Chanchan smiled and said: "It's already a bit hot at this time, it's comfortable to float on the water."

Walking to the side of the pool, I saw a small boat moored under the boat pavilion, with its head flat and its tail raised, with bamboo leaves engraved all over its body.

When the boat lady saw Shang Chanchan, she hurriedly greeted her, "Hello, big girl."

"Brother and sister-in-law went deep into the lotus pond?"

The boat lady hurriedly said: "The uncle is personally rocking the boat. The slaves don't know, but they can only vaguely hear that the masters are calling to prepare wine at Taoranting."

Shang Chanchan boarded the boat in high spirits: "Brother and sister-in-law hide and drink by themselves, and don't ask me to join them."

Seeing that she still insisted on going, Fu Ling put the food box on the boat, and said to Shang Chanchan, "Miss is going, so go by yourself. I don't have the guts to provoke the master at this moment. I beg the girl to spare the servant." .”

Shang Chanchan: ...

However, she is confident that now she has Daiyu's backing, so she is not as afraid of Shang Chi as before.

Just destroying the boat mother to row the boat.

Fu Ling stood on the bank and waved goodbye to her.

Shang Chanchan was sitting on a small boat, and saw the wild cattails surrounded by waterfowl chirping, no different from the Jiangnan Water Village.

Xindao said that when his elder brother rebuilt the East Courtyard, he did everything according to Daiyu's preferences.

She stood up and looked around, only to see a pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond.There were two people sitting vaguely inside.

Shang Chanchan asked the boat lady to row there.

When he got close to Taoranting.

Shang Chanchan could already see the colors of the two of them clearly.

Daiyu was wearing an embroidered skirt with cherry-colored silver threads densely woven with snow-white jade hairpins, while Shang Chi was wearing a moon-white and plum-green robe.

Sitting together, the two are a wonderful picture.

Shang Chanchan looked up from the bottom up, and a poem couldn't help appearing in her mind: "Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings."

I sighed in my heart: Good-looking is really an advantage!

At this moment, Shang Chi and Dai Yu didn't know that the light bulb had arrived at their feet in a boat.

The couple are sitting opposite each other having a drink.

Shang Chi said: "That day I thought Yu'er would inscribe a plaque and a couplet for this pavilion. But you were only willing to mention Taoranting's name as a plaque, and you only knew what the couplet was when I saw the name. Take a look today, I Did you guess right?"

On that day, Shang Chanchan passed the letter as a flying pigeon, and asked Daiyu to sign it.

Daiyu's title is Tao Ranting.

Shang Chi smiled when he heard it, and immediately guessed the poem couplet Daiyu had in mind: "Wait for the chrysanthemum and yellow home brew to be cooked, and I will be drunk and intoxicated with you."

Get drunk and intoxicated with you.

In such a situation, just thinking about it will make you drunk.

Since the pavilion was completed, Shang Chi has been looking forward to enjoying the lotus and drinking with Daiyu here.

It's rare to finally get married, and today is free, so the two of them didn't even bring their servants, and came here alone to drink together.

Daiyu's pink cheeks were dewy, her lips were like vermilion, she nodded and said, "Brother Zicheng guessed right."

Shang Chi held on to the white jade wine jug and poured a cup of amber honey wine with his own hands: "Then invite Madam to drink this cup."

Daiyu drank two cups of wine in a row, her cheeks gradually became dizzy like a flowing cloud, and her pair of water-cut autumn pupils shone brightly, which was even better than the reflection of the sun.

Shang Chi's eyes were as gentle as dripping water, and just about to speak out what was in his heart, he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Brother, Sister Lin!"

Then I saw Shang Chanchan walking up with a food box in her hands: "I heard that you are drinking, so I will come to deliver the food."

And very naturally sat down beside Daiyu, took a wine cup, poured a glass for himself, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Tell me too."

Shang Chi: ...

The author has something to say: Shang Chanchan: I am the skinniest me when I have a backer.Among the crowd, I am the brightest star (light bulb).
