In a blink of an eye, the new year is over again, and the twelfth of February is Daiyu's 14th birthday.Daiyu has been in the palace for three years, and was promoted to Minister for her meritorious service to the fifth princess. At the beginning of the year, Aunt Yang was taken out of the palace by her nephew to take care of her. Daiyu was already the only celebrity in front of the fifth princess.
This year the Holy Majesty's health was not good. Maybe he was heartbroken by the matter of Xianyi Zhongwang. Although the ministers wrote letters to ask for the crown prince, the Holy Majesty never let go, and even said in the hall, "Do you want to force me to abdicate?" Such heartbreaking words.The ministers who yelled the most, those who were relegated, those who were sent to prison, and those who were caught with small thoughts, were even killed on the spot.The emperor's anger filled the court with fear, and gradually this momentum was suppressed.
The previous pilgrim was a fierce tiger. Although he was old, he still had the power to choose people and eat them.When he arrived in Beijing, he became a loving father again. He doted on the little prince who was under three years old.
Daiyu is in the court, so it is inevitable to meet her.Jia Yuanchun always had an affectionate attitude, and he was rewarded more or less. Many people in the palace envied him, and naturally there were ear-repaying gods who gossiped in front of Concubine Rong.Fortunately, Daiyu acted thoughtfully and behaved properly, and did not leave anything behind. Concubine Rong trusted Lin Mingyu a lot because of her business cooperation with Lin Mingyu.
Because of this, even though Lin Mingyu was focusing on studying, he was still often summoned into the palace, and was able to see Lin Daiyu often.Because of the favor of the virtuous concubine, Jia Baoyu also got the favor and often entered the palace, but he was a foreigner, so it was extremely difficult to meet Daiyu.Jia Yuanchun kept this in mind, and urged the two to meet under the guise of summoning Daiyu, because Daiyu's timely rescue of Concubine Rong failed.Jia Yuanchun didn't dare to go too far, so he could only secretly hate Daiyu, and felt a little bit more displeased with Daiyu.
Although Jia Yuanchun was favored, the Rongning and Ningfu prefectures followed the gust of wind and wanted to jump up, but they spent countless efforts, and none of the real power positions were obtained.Jia Zheng still stayed in his idle job as a member of the Ministry of Industry, and among the nephews and nephews of the two houses, only Jia Rong and Jia Qin had achieved fame. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this favor not only added a layer to the Duke's mansion. The gorgeous coat, after peeling off, is still in ruins.The Jia family did not benefit from this.
At this time, Mother Jia saved her face and started to walk with the Lin family in person.
On Daiyu's birthday, Mother Jia led a group of hostesses from Jia's mansion to come early to have fun.Lin Mingyu originally planned to take her elder sister out to relax and take her to the famous jewelry pavilion in the capital to pick out some jewelry and playthings, but when people from Jia's mansion came, she refused to leave.Others are okay, and they still have face, but Mrs. Wang, the moment she saw Lin Mingyu, her face froze.
Lin Mingyu stared at her playfully, he just wanted to see how face this woman had.
Madame Wang's eyes really showed anger, she pursed her lips and stood behind Jiamu, facing Lin Mingyu's provocation, her face was as black as a pan.
However, Lin Mingyu still acted nonchalantly, saluting Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Sister Feng, etc. one by one.
Mrs. Wang's face was pulled down on the spot. She was usually a benevolent person with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, like a clay sculpture and wood carving, but her face was cold and full of chills. After all, she was raised by a wealthy family.
Lin Mingyu described it as sloppy, Madam Wang's whole body was full of black air, and the strange atmosphere infected the people around her. Everyone's inner activities were very exciting, and they showed on their faces.
Like Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, she naturally lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, without squinting. Yingchun has a resentful indifference from beginning to end.Only Mrs. Xing's expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile, exuding a kind of joyful air of watching a good show.
Jia Mu's face was like an ancient well, and her voice was like a chime: "We are all women's families, and your children will come and join us if they want. Baoyu will meet your father in the front, so go play with him."
Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows, subconsciously frowning, but was startled by Jia Mu's eyelid lift, remembering what Jia Mu had confessed before, and reluctantly swallowed the evasive words.
Lin Mingyu showed a sneer, and said in a calm voice, "I have made an appointment with a few classmates, and I won't go to the front yard. My sister is going back to the house today, and she is a little tired. She may be in a place where she is changing clothes and freshening up, and the hospitality is not good. Please invite the elders." Don't blame me."
Pointing to a rough servant girl who came from the outer courtyard, he said: "Come here, take care of grandma, aunts and girls go to the flower hall to drink tea, and then send a message to Huang Ying, saying that grandma is here, and ask her to ask her sister to come out and talk." .”
It's actually a way to prevent everyone from entering Daiyu's boudoir, and treat them as ordinary guests and female relatives.Jia Mu narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Mingyu for a while.But Lin Mingyu didn't have time to accept her warning, so he bowed his hands and left.
When Jia Baoyu finished exchanging greetings with the elders in the front hall, he happily wanted to enter the backyard to find Dai and Ming Eryu, but was stopped by Lin Mingyu's servant.Mantou smiled, but there was a needle in his words, which made Jia Baoyu very uncomfortable: "Second Master Bao, please stay a little longer, this is the residence of the female relatives and young ladies in our mansion. Today is a good day for our eldest daughter, ladies and gentlemen in the capital. You've come a lot, you're a foreigner, so don't be too abrupt. The front is where men go, if you don't know the way, I'll call a clever boy to show you the way, do you think it will work?"
Jia Baoyu was embarrassed, thinking that in the past when Lin Daiyu lived in Jia's mansion, the two of them were in Jia's mother's yard, when did they not see each other?Later, Lin Daiyu went home once and brought back a more handsome younger brother. Brother Ming is smart and good at playing. When he is at home, he can always talk to relieve boredom.Which, ever since Sister Lin was drafted into the palace, it was extremely difficult to meet her even if she didn't say a word.Brother Pianming and his mother are born in conflict, and they can't get along well. He is stuck in it like a sandwich, what a dilemma.It's so easy to have a chance today to get along with this brother and sister for a while, this boy is too indifferent, too hateful!
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu couldn't help showing a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.The servant around looked at it, and he didn't know what his master was thinking anymore, so he beat a drum in his heart.Since Jia Baoyu was severely beaten by Jia Zheng, all the young servants around him were dispatched. Jia Zheng personally pointed out a new young servant to serve him, beat him hard, and then ordered Li Gui to control these people. .Therefore, when this young fellow saw Jia Baoyu's appearance, he knew something bad was going to happen, so he hurriedly said, "Second Master, what Brother Mantou said is also reasonable. The second master and the cousin girl and young master Biao are also brothers and sisters, but after all, there are many guests here today, and there are many people talking, it is better for the second master to avoid suspicion. If the master listens, he will also praise the second master."
Jia Baoyu was furious, when he heard the name of his own father, the courage he had accumulated so hard disappeared again, but his brows were gloomy, and he was not happy after all.
The boy said again: "Since the back yard is not convenient to enter, I wonder if brother Mantou can tell me where Uncle Lin is? Our second master said it long ago, and we want to talk to Uncle Lin about interesting things in the palace."
Jia Baoyu turned from sorrow to joy, and said, "Yes, tell me where Brother Ming is, and I'll play with him!"
Mantou looked embarrassed: "Oh, what a coincidence, our uncle has just gone out, and it is said that Jiu Ye's Juren friends are having a banquet. I heard that our uncle is studying at home now, so he insists on our Jiu Ye to treat the uncle. He called him over, saying that he was going to take the school poetry test, so he could give him some advice on how to get his current subject. I don't understand these things, but..." He looked at Jia Baoyu in a blink of an eye, and said with a meaningful smile: "Speaking of which, Baoyu The second master is fifteen now, right? He is two years older than our uncle, I heard that the palace invited a powerful person to teach, and I think you often see talented people, you should be familiar with such gatherings, right?"
Jia Baoyu's complexion fell instantly. He has always been evil for fame and fortune. Hearing this topic, he felt that his ears were dirty, and he waved his hands again and again: "Come on, you just have to tell Brother Ming that I'm in the house." Wait for him. Today is a good day for Sister Lin, as a younger brother, it is not easy for him to leave the house full of guests and go out."
Said and left.
Mantou waited for him to go far away, and then gave a "bah" in his direction, cursing in bits and pieces: "What the hell, you have a big face! You just wait stupidly!"
Let's say that Lin Mingyu dumped the face of everyone in Jia's mansion, turned around and went to the study in the inner courtyard.Zhao Yuanchu, Du Qi'an, Song Wenning and Lin Rui's friends were all chatting and drinking tea here.
Seeing Lin Mingyu come in, Du Qi'an jumped up first, and said happily: "Brother Mingyu, come quickly, brother Wenning and Master Zhou are pairing up, and those who lose will be punished with three glasses of wine."
Lin Mingyu asked him who lost, and greeted everyone, and entertained the guests.
It was lively for half a day, and after the banquet, Jia's mother was too old to stay for a long time, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing first.Those of the younger generation, such as Sister Feng and Li Wan, led Yingchun and others still stayed.Mother Jia didn't expect so many charming guests to come here today, and Lin Daiyu didn't seem to understand her winks, she didn't listen to her hints even in a few words, she devoted herself to entertaining the female guests, behaved gracefully and quietly, She looked very different from the timid girl back then, but it reminded Jia's mother of her beloved daughter back then. She felt complicated for a while, and her desire to marry became more determined.
Mrs. Jia called Wang Xifeng aside, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing stood a little further away, and they both looked at this side, but their expressions were different.Mrs. Wang knew the inside story. On the one hand, she hoped that the matter would be beneficial to her daughter, but on the other hand, she really didn't like the Lin family, so her expression was complicated. Mrs. Xing didn't think about it so much. Dissatisfied for a while, what good is there to only look at the second room, what is the big room?
Wang Xifeng's mood was the most shocked, because she was very clear about the affairs in the mansion. In the past two years, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were still fighting fiercely, and she vaguely understood Mrs. Wang's plan in her heart.To save money for the empress, the Xue family even invested 10 taels of silver, and now what the old lady means...
Rao Wang Xifeng's mind is very hot, thinking that her ex-son Xue Baochai was coaxed out of the garden by Mrs. Wang, she couldn't help feeling cold.You know, the current Xue family is no longer the Xue family that committed a life lawsuit and came to visit relatives three years ago.Xue Pan didn't know which line he got through, and he earned a lot of money from the errands under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now he has a little bit of sensuality.If Baoyu's marriage is not handled properly, there will always be troubles, especially since Aunt Xue is also his own aunt, so he will take care of this matter himself, and then he will be at odds with both sides.
Wang Xifeng felt chills in his heart, facing Jia's mother's cold and pressing gaze, he couldn't say a single word of disapproval.
"Feng girl, if this matter comes to fruition, it will be a great thing for both of us to get closer to your aunt's family, and your treasure brother will remember your credit for the rest of your life. Your sister Lin also has the best relationship with you first, She has never been in good health, and I will have to help you in the future, so I can rest assured. Do you understand what I mean?"
He even threatened me with the power of housekeeper!Wang Xifeng knew in his heart that he couldn't avoid it even if he didn't agree to it, so he simply said: "Don't worry, old ancestor, I will try my best to make it right for brother Bao."
"Good boy, I love you for nothing. Go and help your sister entertain guests, and don't make her tired."
Seeing off Jiamu, Wang Xifeng smiled wryly. Look at what kind of place this is. Do I have the right to call the shots?She turned her head and met Li Wan's lifeless eyes like an ancient well, and suddenly felt a lump in her heart, even more unhappy.
This year the Holy Majesty's health was not good. Maybe he was heartbroken by the matter of Xianyi Zhongwang. Although the ministers wrote letters to ask for the crown prince, the Holy Majesty never let go, and even said in the hall, "Do you want to force me to abdicate?"
