Yucuo of the Red Chamber

Here, Eunuch Chen and Jiu'er had just arrived in front of the phoenix chariot, and Master Qi also came in front of him, and without waiting for his son who is not very sensible to introduce him, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Caomin dare to ask the Lord to move to the pavilion. Although the conditions in the interior are simple, the grassroots have made some arrangements, and the Lord dares to rest for a while before heading into the city. Please forgive me for the inadequacy."

Daiyu hurriedly asked Eunuch Chen and Jiu'er to help her up, and said, "Your relatives are very polite. Please forgive me for being rude if you come here to disturb me. I have a relative who came all the way to welcome you. I am ashamed of you, please forgive me. Sir, please ask me in a moment."

Mr. Qi was secretly surprised. He didn’t want Daiyu to call herself a junior in public and respect him as a relative. It is really rare, and her words are generous and decent. She is not like the 15-year-old eldest princess who Qi Wen said that she doesn’t care about everything. On the contrary, she is like the daughter of an old friend , hit it off.I was stunned for a moment, felt impolite, and hurriedly replied: "Return to the Lord, the Lord is humble, and the grass-roots are ashamed. Being able to listen to the teachings of the Lord, the grass-roots three lives are lucky. If you can ask for advice in person again, this is the blessing of the grass-roots. Please also ask the Lord Let's move on."

There is no need to wait for Daiyu to speak, the coachman hurriedly drives Feng chariot over, and everyone goes with him.For a while, Qi Wen carefully looked at Daiyu's phoenix carriage, as if he had brought a very cute little friend home, waiting for the adults to praise him; for a while, he looked carefully at Master Qi, fortunately, Master Qi was not actually "old" , but he is just young, and he has the old slave of the Qi family to help him, so don't worry about him; after a while, he will look back at Sui Er and Jiu Er, etc., these are his buddies for many years, and I really want to introduce them to Master Qi quickly. Lest Mr. Qi worry.I haven't been back for so many years, and I have a lot of thoughts in my heart.

At present, the guards waited to watch the outsiders and avoided for a while, and all the eunuchs and maids came and surrounded Daiyu and Buddha into the pavilion.This long pavilion is more simple and simple than the one just now, and it is also much larger.Probably because of the ancient city of Bozhou, this is called Changting. There are three rooms, the main hall in the middle, and the left and right wing rooms, which can accommodate many people to rest.Right now, they are all occupied by the servants of the Qi family, so it is clean and convenient.There are even long couch tables and so on in the main hall, which are extremely well prepared.

Daiyu sized it up, sat down on the main seat with Buddha, and praised with a smile: "If you look at the weather here, you can know the folk customs here. If you look at the folk customs here, you can know the cultivation level of Qi Mansion. It's really like Lao Tzu Hope: 'Governance by doing nothing'. What a rule by doing nothing! I have gained a lot of experience. I never thought that not only my relatives are still so self-disciplined, but even Qi Wen has the essence of the Qi family, which is beyond my reach." He stretched out his finger to the seat and asked him to sit down.

Master Qi quickly resigned and said: "This can't be done. The grassroots are mediocre, and they have no official status. They don't dare to be a princess."

Next to him, a family member of the Qi family handed over the worship mat.Master Qi was about to kneel down to salute, but was robbed by Qi Wen. He kowtowed to Master Qi after kneeling down, and saluted again.Master Qi held back his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and turned his head to look at Daiyu secretly.Daiyu also covered her mouth and laughed.It's not that Qi Wen is making trouble, it's that he really misses his parents and can't blame him.

Seeing that Master Qi was still in trouble, Daiyu smiled and said: "Filial piety is the foundation of virtue; human relations are the foundation of a country. The nature of father and son cannot be violated. That day I brought Qi Wen to the capital and kept him away from his parents. My father still feels guilty. This dynasty has always respected the rule of benevolence and filial piety, and the emperor also attaches great importance to family happiness. Even though my relatives have received Qi Wen's gift, I feel more at ease." While speaking, let Chen Gonggong and others see Master Qi, Daiyu Said, "My relatives are after the founding of the country. Although they have no titles, they are no better than ordinary people. They should not be underestimated. Now they are the Marquis of Guiling, my sister's family, and they deserve to perform a salute on their behalf."

Master Qi had to suffer, and looked at his immature son in distress.After everyone had seen the ceremony, all members of the Qi family saluted Daiyu again, which was a cumbersome etiquette.Daiyu got up again to greet Master Qi, but Qi Wen hurriedly dragged him, Qi Wen was honestly beaten by Buddha, and then he turned his head to look at Daiyu aggrieved: What's the matter?

Seeing Master Qi wanting to cry without tears, Daiyu couldn't help it, she shook her head and smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, my dear. They are all used to making troubles, and they are not doing anything right. Qi Wen, ignore him, and press him down in a while." Hold on, I'll let you have your fill." As he spoke, he blamed again, "When I first met Master Qi, you should be quiet and don't be frivolous. Qi Wencai is happy to go home, so you should let it go."

The Buddha was extremely unhappy and shook his fist at Qi Wen like a demonstration. Although he wanted him to be quiet, Qi Wen had to be quiet.It will take some time to stay in the Qi Mansion, if President Qi Wen takes advantage of this opportunity, won't he be at a disadvantage?Thinking of this, he pretended to be bitter to Daiyu again.Everyone around was happy, but the whole Qi family was dumbfounded.Fortunately, after a while there was an exchange of meeting gifts, rewards, etc., which was really cumbersome and troublesome.Fortunately, Eunuch Chen took care of it, and Daiyu happily winked at Fo Ye and Qi Wen.

When everyone finally met, or was busy with the etiquette before and after the meeting, Master Qi couldn't control his son, so he had to look back and say: "Princess Hui, it's only ten miles from here to the city, and the city has already prepared some banquets. The princess takes the wind and washes away the dust. I will leave for Luyi tomorrow morning, and I will be there in the afternoon. If the princess wants to play in Bozhou, please go to our mansion to rest for a day or two before coming out. It will be more comfortable. The conditions of our mansion are simple and negligent , I apologize in advance."

Daiyu nodded and said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite. The juniors have always been impatient with those cumbersome etiquettes, and my father and brother also let me. Now that I have come out, it's better to be more casual. Qi Wen is extremely considerate in his actions, even It suits my liking, presumably it comes from the family biography of my father-in-law. Even so, I am lazy, and I just do what I see. If you have any concerns, you can discuss it with Qi Wen or Eunuch Chen. This is the fourth of my Jia family. Cousin, now is the imperial bodyguard...his wife." He pointed to Sui'er and introduced them to him.

Sui'er and Xichun came out busy and met Master Qi again. Qi Wen smiled and said, "Go back to father. In the palace, Sui'er took care of me a lot of the time. The fourth girl is smart and smart, and the princess loves her the most. Father, let's go back quickly." Well, if mother sees the princess and the fourth girl, she will definitely be happy. And Shuangsi, they are the princess' favorite, and they are much smarter than our girls."

Master Qi smiled and said: "The princess and the son-in-law are dragons and phoenixes, which is very unusual. They are all good, but you, you can't grow up at all. Like a child, the princess is weak, and the journey is exhausting. Going back here has to be done again." It won't take long, let's take a break. The princess hasn't spoken yet, but you are the first." Even so, Master Qi was really happy to see Daiyu's master and servant getting along well.Even Qi Wen's marriage was relieved a lot.

Daiyu looked at Buddha, she was taking medicine every day, her body was fine, and now it was mid-autumn, she didn't have any illnesses, she was very happy with Xueyan Chunxian.Moreover, after taking those qi-invigorating medicines recently, I have gradually become less afraid of the cold than before, and I can bear it even if I am a little tired on the road.But she is always too romantic and slim, with a fairy air, no matter who sees her, they will probably worry that she is tired.The Buddha pretended not to hear or see, and sat on the couch with his arms around her waist, slowly drinking tea.

The yellow slanting light outside the window shone warmly in the house, and a feeling of coming home filled everyone's heart.It has been more than a month since I left Beijing. In fact, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days.Everyone calculated that it was Daiyu who specially took care of Qi Wen when they came here at this time.I haven't been home for many years, so it's great to come back in such a reunion season.

Besides, everyone rested for a while, but Daiyu was not very tired, and the city was ahead, so it would be cheaper to get up and go to the city.Guided by Master Qi along the way, followed by everyone, walking in the thousand-year-old city, against the afterglow of the setting sun, there is an illusion of walking all the time.Pedestrians on both sides gave way to both sides one after another, watching carefully and curiously that Master Qi went out to meet the guests in person, not knowing what kind of distinguished guest it was.But after the carriages and sedan chairs passed by, everyone was busy with their own affairs, that's all.

Daiyu has already sent Qi Wenxian back to save him from worry.Besides, although he is young, it's not that he is ignorant, he is the Marquis of Yuci, and he is also Daiyu's brother-in-law. Now that he thinks his mother is cruel, it is better to let him go first.Although the Qi family has no nobles, the prefectures and counties generally respect them very much.Master Qi is not polite at the moment. He returned to Mingzhizhou a few days ago and asked for a posthouse to welcome Daiyu.

In the post house, Mrs. Qi has been waiting anxiously for a long time.Seeing everyone is another salute.There was also Qi Wen sticking beside her, more delicate than being in front of Master Qi.Everyone laughed straight away.But although the Qi family came from a military background, they now place great emphasis on culture and etiquette. Mrs. Qi is also a gentle and virtuous woman who is well educated and reasonable.When everyone met each other, they broke up happily and went back to Luyi the next day.

At present, it is only said that there is a huge mansion in the north of Luyi County, which is the Qi Mansion.Although far away from the capital, he doesn't care about world affairs.Even if the descendants study literature and martial arts, they should not take the exam or become an official.Literature is used to entertain oneself, and martial arts is used to strengthen the body.One hundred hectares of land, hundreds of descendants, living a simple life, but also affluent.The sons and nephews of Zhishu also have other businesses, but most of them dare not make it big, so as not to attract the attention of others.

In the afternoon of this day, Daiyu's phoenix chariot stopped in the mansion, and the whole main courtyard was vacated for Daiyu to stay there.Daiyu can't help but ask Eunuch Chen to give her a generous gift, hello and me.

Because in such a small place, the area of ​​Qi Mansion is very large, among other things, the garden at the back of the mansion is as big as [-]% of the Grand View Garden. There are rockery and strange rocks, flowers and trees in it, which may not be famous, but natural.Daiyu, Xichun and others liked this place the most, and they came to play after only a day's rest.The maids and eunuchs were free, running around the garden as if released from a cage.Either frighten the chickens and ducks, or frighten the fat goose.The wild geese returning from the south flew overhead, but they stopped and didn't go away. They were stunned and almost fell.
