[Red Mansion] Different Daiyu

The tenth elder brother became interested, and went to the ninth elder brother, "Ninth elder brother, ninth elder brother, tell me what's going on, do you have a fancy for a girl? The Jia family? Is it by the side of the concubine Defei?" That Jia’s natal family? Hey, that’s not okay, Brother Nine, that Jia’s family seems to have been a little disturbed recently.”

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes disregarding his appearance. This tenth-year-old couldn't speak at the age of three, and he struggled when he was a child. Who would have thought that he would talk so much when he grew up! "What's the starling doing recently? Is there any news about the eighth sister-in-law?"

Elder Brother Ten was simple-minded, and the topic was immediately changed, "Not yet! Myna is so pitiful, I didn't mean you, my sister-in-law is too much, she can't give birth by herself, and she prevents Myna from touching other women. The starling is a dignified prince, but he is suppressed by a woman instead!"

Brother Nine got angry, "You just say myna, why are you looking at me! I've told you eight hundred times, except that they are all surnamed Guo Luoluo, my eighth sister-in-law has nothing to do with my maternal ancestor's family! My grandfather and uncle's family are staying in Shengjing!" This old ten is really hateful!It's true that the eighth sister-in-law's surname is Guo Luoluo, but what does it have to do with my mother, except that she thought they were the same ancestors, and she took more care of her for the sake of losing her. Why now everyone thinks Sister-in-law Ba is Erniang's niece!My mother-in-law doesn't have such a jealous niece!

Ninth elder brother Yinzhen Aojiao thought.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! What's the rush." ​​Brother Ten muttered dissatisfied.

Brother Nine bowed his head and took a sip of tea. Thinking of what Brother Ten said just now, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't know what Brother Ba was thinking. Because of Concubine Liang, Brother Ba felt inferior since he was a child. Obviously, the eighth sister-in-law was born in the Anjun palace, although she is not favored by Huang Ama now, but the influence of the Anjun palace in the army is still there, so the eighth elder brother must be careful to flatter her now?

It's just, how dignified it is for a dignified prince elder brother to be ridden on the head by a woman!Recalling Sister-in-law's attitude towards Concubine Liang, the irony in Brother Jiu's eyes was even worse. Sister-in-law kept saying that she loved Mynah and didn't want to share her husband with others, but she disliked Concubine Liang's background and only loved the skin of a man , but dislikes this man's biological mother, is this considered love?

Thinking of this, that fairy-like figure appeared in Brother Jiu's mind again. Thinking of the information about her submitted by his subordinates, Brother Jiu couldn't help being a little intoxicated. If it were her, she would definitely not be like Sister-in-law Ba. She will definitely be filial to Concubine Liang, no, no, if she wants to be filial, she must also be filial to my mother, what is the matter with Concubine Liang!By the way, hurry up and enter the palace tomorrow, and make an agreement with Er Niang, otherwise what will Er Niang do if she messes up the mandarin ducks?As for Huang Ama, leave it to Er Niang!

Ninth brother began to think about how to tell Er Niang, as for tenth brother's complaints, who cares about him!

Lin Daiyu took a deep sleep, and when she woke up, she just heard the mandarin ducks and egrets talking, and heard some movement in the room, Li Nanny hurried in with red sleeves, green beads, etc., "The girl is awake, the old lady How about passing on dinner! Miss Yuanyang is waiting outside!"

"Understood, Bailu, Zixuan, you greet first, and I'll come." Lin Daiyu was not in a hurry, she sat up slowly, and Nanny Li and others helped her get dressed.Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing his expression, this was the result of many years of education by Nanny Li and Nanny Liu.

Yuanyang is not in a hurry, she is the capable maidservant next to Jiamu, and she knows many things in the house very well.Jia's mansion is declining day by day, and besides counting on the eldest girl in the palace, they are counting on Mrs. Lin's relatives. In addition, Miss Lin is going to participate in the general election, so maybe the fortune in the future will be greater than that of the eldest girl!Jia Mu has to coax Miss Lin now!How dare she get big in front of Miss Lin!

"Miss Lin, don't be in a hurry, take your time, the old lady won't be free for a while!" Yuanyang said with a smile.Zixuan brought a cup of tea, "Sister Yuanyang drinks tea, this is Dahongpao, our girl's favorite drink!"

"Since Miss Lin likes it, how can I drink it?" Yuanyang followed Jia Mu, and she didn't pass any delicious and fun things. When the tea was served, she could smell the tangy tea fragrance. It's really good tea!How rich Jiangnan is, it really lives up to its reputation.

"What's the matter? Our girl is the most generous. Sister Yuanyang likes to eat. I decide to pack a few taels for her to take home." Zixuan said with a smile.

"That's exactly the reason!" Nanny Liu and Cui Yu had just settled the maids and servants in the courtyard, and they still lacked some manpower, so they had to discuss with the girl whether to ask Lin An to send some people over, or directly use the ones from Jia's mansion. people.

Just as she was talking, Lin Daiyu had already packed up, "Sister Yuanyang, it's all right, let's go!"

Yuanyang looked up and saw that Lin Daiyu was wearing a dress made of woven brocade that is fashionable in the south of the Yangtze River, and a hairpin in the shape of a magnolia pattern on her head. There is no extra decoration, but she looks more graceful and charming. "Where is the uncle?"

"Just now when the girl fell asleep, the uncle asked Suwen to call back, saying that Mr. Zhang sent someone to invite, but the uncle couldn't refuse, so he went." Cuiyu said.

"Master Zhang? Mr. Zhang Ying, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, who is also the one in the Ministry of Rites?" Lin Daiyu thought about the relationship diagram her father told her before entering Beijing, and said, "That's too rude."

"The uncle didn't want to go at first, and said that he would bring a gift to visit another day, but Mr. Zhang asked the fifth son to come to invite him directly. He said that the fifth son had studied in the Imperial College, and that the Lin family and the Zhang family are good friends. Master Zhang Tingzan You and my master are classmates, so you don't need to be so alien. The master can't refuse, so I asked Su Wen to prepare a generous gift and let the pen take it with me." Cui Yu said with a smile.

"That's all!" Lin Daiyu was relieved, "Tomorrow, you remind me to make up another big gift and go to the Zhang family."

"Yes, Miss." Cui Yu wrote it down respectfully.

The mandarin duck listened to it in his heart, and secretly remembered that the family of Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zhang Yingzhang were old friends. This Mr. Zhang’s family is amazing. The third son, Zhang Tingyu, was awarded a Jinshi in the 39th year of Kangxi’s reign. Now he is working in the Ministry of Rites, and his future is limitless!The second master has always wanted to make friends but has nowhere to go!

When they arrived at Jia Mu's main room, Jia Mu said with a smile, "I was just talking about you, but you are here." Lin Daiyu saw that there were already many people waiting here. Seeing Lin Daiyu coming, she set up tables and chairs.Li Wan holds the rice, Wang Xifeng sets the chopsticks, and Mrs. Wang takes the soup.Jia Mu was sitting alone on the couch in front of her, with four empty chairs on either side. Wang Xifeng hurriedly pulled Daiyu to sit on the first chair on the left, but Daiyu pretended to give way.Jia Mu laughed and said, "Your aunt and sister-in-law don't eat here. You are a guest, so you should sit like this." Dai Yufang asked for a seat and sat down.

Jia Mu ordered Mrs. Wang to sit down.The three Yingchun sisters told the seat and came up.Yingchun sits first on the right, Tanchun second on the left, and Xichun second on the right.The maid next to her was obsessed with whisking dust, rinsing bowl, and handkerchief.Li and Feng stood next to the case and gave way.Although there are many daughters-in-law and maids serving outside, they don't even hear a cough.

Lin Daiyu looked at the big fish and meat on the table, and felt sick to her stomach. Because Lin Daiyu had a weak spleen and stomach, she always insisted on keeping in good health, and her diet was very light. She was really not used to eating like Jia's big fish and meat.After dinner in silence, each servant girl brought tea in a small tea tray.Lin Daiyu cleared her mouth, and the maids served tea again, but Lin Daiyu just held the tea and didn't eat it.

Jia Mu said with a smile: "how, is it okay to rest?"

Lin Daiyu nodded with a smile, "Why are Baoyu and sister Xue missing?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Oh, your cousin Xue got some crabs, and I asked Baoyu to eat them. Aunt Xue said that I will send some over tomorrow for the old lady to eat fresh!"

Jia's mother smiled and said nothing, "I heard from Yuanyang that Jinyu went to Zhang Yingzhang's home?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang Tingzan once came to Jiangnan for a study tour. At that time, he lived in his hometown in Gusu and was close friends with my father. I planned to let Jinyu visit after I settled down. I didn't want Mr. Zhang Wu to come directly today. "Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up when she heard about it, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't let Baoyu go to Lixiangyuan. The elder brother just came today. I'm not familiar with the things in the capital, so I should let Baoyu accompany me!" How to win the favor of the Zhang family is also beneficial to Baoyu's future!

Mother Jia obviously also thought of this floor, "Yes, next time if the Zhang family invites again, let Baoyu go with his cousin! Brothers should help each other."

Lin Daiyu was not ashamed in her heart, but she still had a gentle smile on her face, "Unfortunately, Jinyu will go to the Imperial College to study the day after tomorrow, and she will come back once every ten days, and she rarely has the chance to go again." This is already euphemistic refused.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang's face turned a little ugly after hearing this, and Lin Daiyu didn't worry about her, so I figured it out, the Lin family has a house in the capital, okay?Live here if you are happy, leave if you are unhappy, what is she afraid of!

Jia Mu glared at Mrs. Wang, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Yu'er, are you still used to living in Songchen Courtyard? Tell your sister Feng if you feel uncomfortable!"

"Thank you, grandma." Lin Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang's livid face, feeling very complacent, mad at you to death!However, it's better not to make such a scene. Lin Daiyu counted the time, Yuanchun concubine is probably only a few days away, but I don't know if she will be concubine this time?The concubines of the Kangxi Dynasty were a radish and a pit. Huiyi Derong added a good concubine. Until Kangxi died, there were only these few concubines in the harem. Those concubines were all posthumous, okay?

"By coincidence, I learned a little face-to-face skills with the presiding master of Hanshan Temple. From the look on my second aunt's face, there should be a happy event in the house soon." Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

"Happy event?" Mrs. Wang was dubious. What kind of happy event could she have? Could it be that Jia Zhu was alive again, or that Baoyu was the Lord, or Yuanchun?Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something, and exchanged glances with Jia's mother, "Miss, is what you said true?"

"I lied to my second aunt to do something. In fact, my grandmother's face can tell, but it's not as obvious as my second aunt." Lin Daiyu continued to fool.

Mrs. Wang thought about it, isn't that the case!Yuan Chun crawled out of her intestines. If she really had a great fortune, then it must be her biological mother who benefited!Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang beamed with joy, and put aside the dissatisfaction just now. As long as her Yuanchun promises, will Baoyu still worry about his future?

"I hope what the eldest girl said is true!" Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

Sure enough, a few days later, on Jia Zheng's birthday, a good news came from the palace that Yuan Chun had been made a concubine.
