Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

The crape myrtle is gone, and the golden osmanthus is bright.How much time has passed between Yunjuan and Yunshu.

On the eighth day of the eighth month, the eunuch Xia in the palace came to deliver an order, saying that Yuanchun was cautious and docile, and was promoted to permanent residence.Although it was only promoted to one level, it really made Jia's family happy.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang hurried to the palace to thank her. When they saw Yuan Chun, they were pleased to see her brightly dressed and rosy face.

Jia Mu said: "Yuan'er is a lucky person after all. I don't know how everything is going well in the palace."

Yuan Chun said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, old ancestor, everything is fine with Yuan'er."

Mrs. Wang said happily: "Your Majesty is a blessed one. She has been promoted to the rank after only two years in the palace. If she can give birth to a boy and a half girl in the future, why not be a concubine or noble concubine?"

Yuan Chun frowned, there was a trace of displeasure on his graceful and round face, he sighed and said: "Mother be careful, this is in the palace, don't you know the truth that walls have ears, if such words are spread, my daughter will not be able to stay in the palace." I have lived in the palace. Now I have only been promoted to a position, and I am just a concubine who serves others, how dare I call myself a concubine."

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale with fright, and her joyful expression subsided a little.Jia Mu sighed: "Yuan'er is right, but it's never wrong to serve the emperor well in the palace and perform his duties well. If it is really my son's blessing to be favored by the Holy One, Yuan'er must take good care of it."

Yuan Chun nodded: "Don't worry, old ancestor. What happened this time is also because I have been honest for a long time, and the Holy One likes my piano skills a little bit."

Mrs. Wang said: "If Yuan'er lacks anything, you must tell mother, and mother will arrange it for you."

Yuan Chun sighed: "My mother often brings things in, but I don't lack anything. Alas, those eunuchs and maids are easy to get along with. And our family must not be complacent and indulge in extravagance just because I have been promoted. Today, the Holy Majesty I am most annoyed by those who are rich and bully. The ancestors and mother must restrain the children of the clan, otherwise Yuan'er will be implicated in the palace."

Mrs. Jia Muwang repeatedly said yes.Back home, Mother Jia immediately called for the masters of the two houses to convey Yuan Chun's words.It's a pity that these men are just obedient and obedient. When Yuan Chun didn't enter the palace, he always only knew luxury and pleasure. Now that he heard that Yuan Chun has been promoted to be a permanent presence, he has become more courageous. It is hard to count how many dirty things are behind him.After all, Jia Mu and others are in the inner court, how can they know this.

Because of the advance of the throne in Yuanchun, many relatives and friends came to congratulate her, but Jia's mother was in a hurry and forgot about bringing Daiyu to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.Mrs. Wang didn't even think about it.By the time Mother Jia remembered it, it was already August [-]th.Mother Jia hurriedly sent a car to the Lin residence to pick up Daiyu, but she was in vain. After inquiring with the people in the Lin residence, she found out that Daiyu had been picked up by Princess Beijing for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mrs. Jia was waiting at home. Mrs. Xing Wang, Sister Feng, Li Wan, Sanchun, Baoyu, Baochai, etc. were all entertaining in front of Jiamu.Everyone was chatting and laughing, seeing that Lin Zhixiao's family who had picked up Daiyu came back alone.Seeing her alone, Jia's mother hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, is Miss Lin unwilling to come?"

Mrs. Wang said coldly: "This big girl is too big. Does she ignore the old lady as an elder? Or does she think you are not qualified enough?"

Jia's mother said coldly: "My Yu'er is so knowledgeable and sensible, how can she have the thoughts of a villain with high eyesight and low abilities. My wife really knows how to guess other people's thoughts."

Mrs. Wang blushed. Didn't Jia's mother mean that she was such a small person with shallow eyes, and the resentment flashed in her eyes.

Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly said: "Old ancestor, Miss Lin was not at home when the servants went. I heard from people in their house that Miss Lin was picked up by Concubine Bei Jing for the Mid-Autumn Festival two days ago."

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.The expressions of the people in the room suddenly became colorful.Jia's mother said happily, "I didn't expect Lin Yatou to know Princess Beijing. It's a good fortune."

Mrs. Wang felt a little displeased. Why did that fox Meizi have such a chance, so she laughed and said, "The eldest girl actually knew Princess Beijing, and she got the attention of Princess Beijing. The last time I came here, I didn't miss a word. .”

Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang, and said calmly, "Prince Beijing and her son-in-law are close friends, and Min'er has known Princess Beijing for a long time. Princess Beijing has never met Yu'er, so naturally she looks at Miner." Yu'er doesn't know the face of her son and son-in-law. Besides, even if she and Concubine Bei Jing knew each other, she didn't need to reveal it. Do you think she is such a shallow and powerful person? You are so picky."

Mrs. Wang said nothing.The Sanchun sisters felt a little regretful that Daiyu could not come, but they were also really happy for her.

Baochai felt slightly regretful when she heard this, she came here for the draft, she didn't want Daiyu to know the royal family, if she knew it earlier, she should have gotten closer to her, maybe it would be of some help.He was also somewhat envious of Daiyu being able to match up with the royal family. If he could do the same, wouldn't there be no suspense about the draft.Now I only hope that Daiyu will come again in the future, maybe it is not too late to make up for it.

Baoyu was the most unhappy.He is full of thoughts about this fairy-like younger sister. The family has been in a hurry these past few days, and his father always forced him to accompany the guests. Knowing that Daiyu was not there again, his momentary joy turned into ice water.She ran to Jiamu's place and acted like a baby in Jiamu's arms: "My ancestor, hurry up and pick up your sister from the Beijing Prince's Mansion. This is her home. There's no reason to go to someone else's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Jia's mother stroked Baoyu and said, "Good boy, let's talk about it later. The Beijing Palace is so easy to get into. It is also your sister's blessing to have the eyes of the Beijing Palace."

Baoyu said in a hurry: "What a blessing. It's very dirty outside. What's good for sister Lin to go to those smoky places? The ancestors will pick her up soon. The ancestors said they missed her. Can Princess Beijing be okay?" Let people go?"

Mother Jia's face darkened, and she sighed, "Nie Zhan, what nonsense are you talking about, don't say such things again, it will cause trouble if it is spread out. We can't offend the Beijing Palace."

Baoyu refused and said, "Anyway, I want Sister Lin to come back. My ancestor, please send someone to pick her up. My sister is so lonely outside."

Xichun sneered and said, "Second elder brother can do anything besides being coquettish with the ancestors. If you have the ability, you can go to the Beijing Palace to pick one up and try. Hmph, the outside is dirty, as if our house is so clean."

Mother Jia was displeased and cast a dissatisfied glance at Xichun.Xichun sneered and turned her head away.

Baoyu in this room was aroused by Xichun's words, and really wanted to ride a horse to pick up Daiyu, so angry that Jia's mother kept coaxing her, and she didn't calm down until Jia Zheng was moved out, but she was still listless.

It took Sister Feng a long time to make Jia Mu laugh again.Seeing Baoyu's lack of energy, Baochai proposed to bring Xiangyun over.Sure enough, with the company of Xiangyun Baochai and all the sisters, Baoyu's mind shifted a little.

But it is said that Daiyu was brought here on the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month in Beijing Palace.Daiyu walked into the main room and saw a gentle, luxurious and elegant middle-aged woman sitting on the soft couch, so she knew that she was Princess Beijing, and she was busy paying her respects.Before she could finish the worship, Princess Bei Jing pulled her into her arms and said with a smile: "Don't be too polite, your mother and I are sisters in the boudoir, and our two families are old friends, so there is no need to pay a national ceremony."

Daiyu smiled and said: "The concubine is very loving, and Yu'er is terrified." She really didn't expect that Concubine Beijing is so quiet on the outside, and her mouth is so loud, it is really a bit of a duplicity, no wonder Shui Rong mentioned her mother It's quite a narrow smile.

Concubine Bei Jing gave Daiyu a white look, and said angrily: "I said you don't have to be restrained, we have different opinions about the seniority, just call me aunt, what kind of concubine, I don't like to hear it, as if I am seventy or eighty years old .”

Shui Rong shook his head: "Concubine Mu, at least pay attention to your dignified image."

Concubine Bei Jing laughed and scolded: "Can a dignified image be eaten? I haven't scolded you yet. It took so long to pick up Yu'er, but you run there every day, and you don't want to think about your mother, I am here to look forward to the autumn water." , I sincerely don't want me to see her, treat me like a flood or a beast."

Daiyu held back her laughter, her little face flushed red, this Concubine Beijing is really a funny person.At the same time, a warm feeling rose in my heart. This is the feeling of home, warm and peaceful, and I can do whatever I want.There is not too much pretense, only tenderness and warmth.

Concubine Bei Jing saw that Daiyu was struggling to hold back, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, laugh if you want to. See if my stinky brat doesn't blame me for holding back."

Daiyu smiled, sweet as a flower, quiet and elegant.Grand Concubine Bei Jing watched and sighed again and again: "Yu'er's smile really captivates the country, no wonder my brat's heart fell on you and you can't take it back."

Daiyu blushed, and hurriedly delivered the gift she had prepared to divert the concubine's attention.The concubine saw that it was a suit of Su embroidered misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.The water vapor is dense, beautiful and clear, as if it is real.Concubine Bei Jing looked at it carefully for a long time, and praised: "It's wonderful, and Huiwen is nothing more than that. Although her technique is higher than yours, it doesn't have the light and long-lasting charm of your picture. Yu'er's hands are more sensitive. What a coincidence, younger sister, it really is the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River that support people."

Daiyu smiled lightly, modest but not humble, and said softly: "My aunt has won the award, how dare Dai'er compare with her mother, she is much worse than Huiwen."

Concubine Bei Jing took Dai Yu's hand and smiled, "Yu'er is so ingenious and beautiful, I really don't know what to say." As she spoke, she took off a crystal clear emerald carved with dragon and phoenix patterns. Putting the bracelet on Daiyu's hand, she said with a smile: "It's the first time I met my aunt, and I don't have anything good to give you. Just this bracelet, you can't think it's simple. Alas, who makes my aunt clumsy, can't make anything elegant?" I'll give you something, only these vulgar things."

Daiyu said she didn't dare, so she quickly saluted and thanked her.But he didn't find the expression of watery joy and Princess Beijing's meaningful smile.

The couple talked about themselves for a long time, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. It was really enjoyable.

Daiyu no longer had the previous panic, so she settled down with peace of mind.

One day she was strolling in the garden, when Shui Rong walked in from a distance and smiled, "Brother Rong is free today." After getting along with Shui Rong recently, she and Shui Rong were like brothers and sisters, and the concubine deliberately made them get close, so Daiyu It doesn't feel restrained when it's dissolved in water.

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Mid-Autumn Festival is here, even the Emperor is on holiday, let alone me. Yu'er's weather has improved a lot these past two days, it seems that taking Su Yu's medicine is much better, if I knew it, I should have asked the Holy Majesty to let him come. "

Feeling moved in Daiyu's heart, she sighed: "It's so obvious after taking the medicine for two days. I really trouble Brother Rong to ask the imperial doctor."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Silly girl, the Holy One has long remembered this matter, but he can't send someone over if you are at home, why should I ask. He, your father and my father were all taught by the same master. It's the closest."

Daiyu nodded, and the two walked slowly along the path.At this time, the sky is clear, the clouds are far away, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus wafts from the roadside, making me feel drunk.

Daiyu suddenly thought of something: "Brother Rong, why didn't I see any other concubines except my aunt, I should go to see her too, otherwise I wouldn't be rude."

Shui Rong said with a smile: "I didn't have it at all, where are you going to meet me?"

Daiyu widened her bright eyes.Shui Rong sighed: "My father used to have three concubines, one of whom gave birth to the eldest sister and had a difficult delivery. Ever since I married my mother and concubine, I haven't been to the other two concubines. Later, my father simply sent them to find a good family. Married. Besides me, my mother and concubine have another daughter. My eldest sister Yunzhi and second sister Qingyan have already been married, and you will see each other when you have a chance."

Daiyu heard this silently, but she didn't expect that Uncle Shui was also an infatuated person. After marrying his aunt, he fell in love deeply, and he didn't even remarry his side concubine. Daiyu couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart.Just listen to Shui Rong said: "My father always said that if it is yours, you should cherish it. In the past, many people laughed at him and he was ruled by a wife. He didn't even dare to keep his concubine. How could they understand the affection between father and mother?" If I get married, I will be like my father, a couple for the rest of my life."

Daiyu listened in a daze, for some reason she felt her heart pounding, and she was inexplicably happy.Although he didn't understand why, he smiled slightly.

There is no rush to dissolve in water, such a long time will naturally make Daiyu gradually get used to herself and then settle herself in her heart.He took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "Dai'er is bored and bored every day, look at Brother Rong made something nice for you to play with." As he spoke, he pulled Daiyu around the rockery and around the veranda, in front of it was a flower garden, There is a wooden shelf in the middle of the flowerbed, wrapped with green vines, and a delicate swing is hung on the shelf, with colorful ropes and soft cushions on the seat.

Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Why didn't I see it before, did Brother Rong do it?" Shui Rong smiled and nodded, seeing Daiyu's smile like a flower, her bright eyes shining brightly, she couldn't help showing a smile like a spring breeze.Seeing that Daiyu couldn't wait to run over, she quickly stood beside the shelf and shook the rope for her.

Daiyu sat on the cushion and swung away vigorously.The breeze is light, the skirt flutters, reflecting the bright sunshine and the endless sea of ​​flowers, like a fairy Lingbo, Heng'e stepping on the moon, pure and picturesque.She kept urging the water solution to increase its strength, and the moment she flew into the air, her heart also flew up, feeling the gentle breeze passing by in front of her, as if she was really flying in the sky, unrestrained, unfettered, and free from all worries. Sorrow seems to have drifted away with this flying melody.

After playing for a while, Shui Rong was afraid that she would be tired, so he slowed down his strength, and the swing swayed gently, like being on a boat, leisurely and leisurely.Daiyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a little childishness, like a lazy kitten, very cute.After a while, Daiyu opened her eyes, saw Shui Rong was still shaking beside her, she felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Brother Rong, please sit down for a while, you should be tired after shaking for a long time."

Shui Rong was very happy, smiled and sat down next to Daiyu, who hurriedly moved to the side.Seeing Daiyu's beautiful face from the side, Shui Rong felt joyful sweetness in his heart, his expression became softer, and deep affection almost overflowed from his eyes.Naturally, he was not tired after such a short period of time, but Daiyu's words proved that his Dai'er had unconsciously opened her closed heart, and she was able to get close to and care about herself naturally.

The blue sky is like washing, the autumn wind is warm, and the gentle sunlight casts pale golden light. In the sea of ​​flowers, on the swing frame, two jade-like people are calm and peaceful, forming the most beautiful scenery in the world.
