Yucuo of the Red Chamber

"That's a good idea. We are all family friends. It's reasonable to visit us. It's okay to congratulate. It's just... what kind of congratulations are you congratulating?" It's meat, I can't figure it out.

"We just heard that there is joy, so we went to congratulate him. As for He Xi, it's not too late to ask for advice. Even if the king of Beijing Jing doesn't want to leak the word, he should give us face and have an explanation. What are you afraid of? "Sai Zhuge really had a clever plan, and what he said made sense.

The people discussed again in this way, and then dispersed after they had settled down.After the morning court the next day, people came to the Beijing Palace one after another and posted their posts one after another.Unexpectedly, things did not go as planned, King Beijing Jing was not in the mansion, but went into the palace.Chang Shi entertained everyone, and only said that the prince explained that there was a happy event in the palace the next day, but it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being, and please forgive me, and by the way, each person will get a return gift, no matter how thick or thin, it is still a little more than the congratulatory gift sent Son.Moreover, there is no name for the salute, and the return is also vague.

When the crowd came out, some went back dejectedly, and some gathered in twos and threes to discuss, but they had nothing to say after thinking about it.The Beifu greeted each other politely and sent them off respectfully. It was a must. Come back the next day.As for every few days, we can only ask people to inquire more, and then try our luck.They only said that they heard that King Jingjing had entered the palace, and everyone had to guess again, but they couldn't make up their minds after all, so they had to give up.

At this moment, King Beijing really came into the palace, knelt down in front of the empress dowager, and said all the reasons again, only saying that now that the Jia family's affairs are over, and Jia's mother has also been buried, it is better to fulfill her last wish quickly. Let the old man rest in peace.The deceased is the most important, and it is inconvenient for the empress dowager to say more.Although Jia's mother is dead and the threat has been lifted, the friendship for many years is still there; and Shui Rong really never intervened in the case, never embarrassing the emperor and the empress dowager.

Shui Rong begged again: "The Empress Dowager and Princess Hechang have treated Miss Lin with great kindness, and she is also grateful to come to Miss Lin. After getting married, they can still enter the palace to honor the Empress Dowager." As for the arrangement for Daiyu, what about the right concubine? I also told the empress dowager about the affairs of the main courtyard, and begged her in every possible way. The next day, the sixteenth, was a rare and auspicious day, a good time for a hundred years of marriage.

Now that the matter has come to this point, the great emperor stared at the crown prince again to prevent him from having any ideas about Daiyu.After Shui Rong left, he summoned Daiyu and tried to persuade her, but she shed a lot of tears as if sending off her daughter.As for the dowry, the water solution has already been stated, everything is kept simple and there is no need for trouble.As for the marriage, since Daiyu has not been canonized, nor has she opened a mansion, she must just come to marry respectfully, but not make a big show.

Daiyu felt sad when she heard it, although she believed that the Buddha would arrange it well, but at first hearing, she was still a little worried.What's more, from now on, I will marry a woman, which must be different from when I was a girl.And no matter what the reason is, the Empress Dowager has treated her really well recently, comparable to Mother Jia, and Princess Hechang is by her side. Daiyu cried for a while, which made people feel very distressed.

Holding Daiyu in her arms, Princess Hechang carefully comforted her and said: "Sister, I heard that the king of Beijing Jing is an outstanding figure, which is rare in the world. Since Shi Taijun has such a last word, my sister can just go. If he dares to bully my sister, just come back and tell me, and he will be regarded as the queen mother." I don't want to come forward, I also want to protect my sister. Although that Princess Beijing is difficult to deal with, she dare not touch a single hair of my sister."

The Empress Dowager was also reluctant to let go, although part of it was because Princess Hechang was happy to be with her, and the other half was because Daiyu had always been so simple and straightforward, she really was a rare good girl.We are going to leave now, so it will be inconvenient to see each other in the future.Although Shui Rong said that she was respected as the right concubine, there is no such rule in this dynasty, and even if it is the right concubine, there is a first come first served.Moreover, Princess Beijing was canonized, more formal than Daiyu; apart from Daiyu's "Princess Xianglong Ceremony" in name only, there is nothing real after all.Moreover, with Daiyu's temper, how could she be willing to compete with the princess?I'm afraid I might not go back to the palace to tell them when the time comes.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but sighed, took Daiyu's hand to comfort her and said, "Yu'er just go at ease. Chen Lin is a reliable servant, and I will rely on him for everything in the future. Forgive me, no one would dare to embarrass you. If If you feel that the palace is full of people and uncomfortable to live in, you will still come back, and the Bamboo Hall will be reserved for you. Except for the people you took away, everyone else will still clean up there, and they can come back to live at any time. The Jia family is gone. This is your natal family. After a few days, when you return to the third place, the Supreme Emperor will formally decree to confer on you. In the future, you will be a justifiable eldest princess, and even the door of the Beijing Palace will have to be changed."

Well, it's a big breath, but it's not impossible.The prince of the county was originally a level lower than the princess. If the princess married, even if she didn't open another mansion and kick the original princess out; she couldn't continue to live in the 'Prince of the County'. It would be normal to change the door.Daiyu kept crying and didn't know what to say.I couldn't laugh or cry in my heart, so I continued to cry.It's rare that the empress dowager loves her so much, it's comparable to her parents, or even better than Jia Amnesty who sold Yingchun, I don't know how many times better.I was moved to tears, and it was hard for her.

The Empress Dowager and Princess Hechang persuaded her for a long time, and then ordered Dade to quickly prepare some dowry. Although the dowry is not a big deal, it must not damage the royal family's face.It's too late for other things, there are a lot of antique brocades in the private warehouse, first draw up a list, go in and get things.Daiyu managed to stop her tears, after all the Empress Dowager was not her own mother, even her own mother was worried that she would be sad, so she put away her tears and thanked her before going back to the Bamboo Hall.Dade then came out and made a funny laugh at Daiyu, Daiyu who laughed blushed and felt ashamed.

On the sixteenth auspicious day, Daiyu came to pay her respects early in the morning.The empress dowager gave an explanation and acted as a mother. There were all kinds of etiquette.Princess Hechang sat aside, holding Daiyu, and the mother and daughter wept for a long time.The Supreme Emperor also wished a few words, and when she returned to the Bamboo Hall, another old lady came to teach her about intercourse, which made Daiyu's face redder than a red candle in embarrassment.After bathing and changing clothes and tidying up, sitting anxiously in the bedroom, holding the jade pearl through the clothes, and silently chanting "Amitabha", my heart will be more stable.

After a while, Shui Rong personally brought the new head of the palace into the palace to ask for an order to welcome his relatives.Today is auspicious, I took a leave of absence and did not go to the court, and I came to Danfeng Gate in a mighty manner, presented the betrothal gift, and kowtowed to the empress dowager to thank her.Probably to keep a low profile, he didn't even wear wedding clothes, and there was no obvious joy in his eyes.The empress dowager looked distressed, it was really difficult for Shui Rong to be so depressed.Although this matter is unavoidable, since the decree has been approved, I hope Daiyu can marry a husband who loves her wholeheartedly.

In the Bamboo Hall, Fengyu was already ready to put the dowry. Although the empress dowager's dowry was "simple", there were 160 pieces, not to mention how precious each piece was.The personal maids still carry them, and there are sixteen dowry maids, sixteen eunuchs, sixteen bodyguards, six nuns, and one steward.Princess Hechang came over again, probably just heard what the Empress Dowager said, pulled Daiyu and told: "Sister, don't forget about your mother's family when you have a husband's family. If that's the case, I will make trouble with my sister."

Daiyu blushed, pulled Princess Hechang and whispered: "Good sister, it's hard for you to love me so much, I will just call the princess sister from now on. Although what happened today was not my intention, but sister is generous, no matter what happens in the future My son, I also ask my sister for forgiveness. I am a young orphan, and there are many things beyond my control, and I will rely on my sister to take care of me in the future."

Princess Hechang didn't know that Daiyu had something to say, and she only thought that she was talking about the matter with Shui Rong that day, it was a long time ago, so don't care about it, Princess Hechang hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, sister just go. I know, no matter what happens in the future, my sister is still my sister. Just come back if you have something to do, the queen mother's edict still counts, and you can come back at any time. "

Daiyu bowed and saluted, and thanked: "My good sister, you have to take care of yourself. If we are destined in the future, we will still be sisters."

The auspicious time has come, and the drums and music are playing together.Although Daiyu's identity is a bit nondescript, so all the ceremonies are kept simple, but there should be some, or the ones that are convenient have to be lively.After a while, I went out of the palace gate, so I had to quiet down and go quietly.Although it is "quietly", I have never seen such a "quietly", let alone the guard of honor of the King of Beijing.Princess Hechang insisted on summoning her half guard of honor to give Daiyu a big boost, which was simply showing off her might.In addition, there are five or sixty entourages of Daiyu herself, and Eunuch Chen also has entourages.Before it was over, the empress dowager felt sorry for Daiyu and asked Dade to see her off.There are dozens of people in the honor guard of gratitude.Coupled with the dowry, squeezing and squeezing, half a street is not enough.

Sitting in the Fengyu, Daiyu felt oppressed and stuffy, so she lifted her veil.Jiu'er hurriedly said: "Good girl, let's put it down. If someone sees it, it's not very good after all." Among the many dowries, only Jiu'er was fine-skinned, fair-skinned, and well-groomed. Yuli serves.For a while, he handed her water, for a while he fanned her, and for a while he comforted her: "In a while, Si'er and I help the girl, the girl just listens."

"Where are Xueyan and Chunxian?" Daiyu bit her lips for a long time, she was too embarrassed to ask Buddha these few days, and now she was even more embarrassed when she thought about what she said.

"They're not from the palace, they're not imposing enough. Shuying and Youran will serve at the back at any time, Si'er and I help the girl, it's quite dignified. Don't worry, girl, my uncle is ready, everything will be safe." Jiu'er not only spoke sweetly, Moreover, he observed words and expressions, listened to sounds and discerned actions, and quickly persuaded Daiyu.Fearing that she would be bored to the core, the Buddha turned around and asked him to settle the score.

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, for the past few days, everyone in the hall has been careful not to speak nonsense, lest there will be too many people in the hall, and the word will be leaked, and the success will fall short.At this moment, I heard Jiu'er say that she turned her head and glanced at him, and even changed her clothes. Although he was only of the eighth rank, but he was still young, it seemed that Dade took care of Daiyu and specially arranged it for her. Can't help being grateful again.
