Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

The full moon wine for the Lin Hai twins is really a big deal.

There were thousands of firecrackers ringing in front of the Rongguo Mansion that day, there were already three rounds of banquets at noon, four drinks, among fiery trees and silver flowers, with shadows on the temples and clothes, all the dignified people in Beijing basically all came at once.

Even though Lin Hai was happy today, the passers-by were all dressed in red and purple, so he still put on a lot of energy and socialized with Jia Zheng and Jia She.

After the fourth round of toasts, Jia Min wore large sleeves of Sichuan brocade embroidery with two-color embroidered rose gold and silver thread, and a brocade cloak with five patterns of hollowed-out flowers and colorful butterflies around his elbows. Twelve pleats of concubine Xiang's skirts, because it's a family banquet, she didn't wear imperial clothes, but she still wore a purple and gold red treasure head mask, and only half of the 24 pairs of step shakes that should be worn when the second grade imperial order met in court were selected, and the end was generous .

Daiyu is also well-dressed, the bamboo-green Su Jinxiu orchid beetle, the color of the flower is light and elegant, and the edge is inlaid with a green border about one foot wide, just like a touch of black between the distant mountains and mountains.

The maid behind the mother and daughter is holding the child. The child on the left is swaddled in sapphire blue, and the child on the right is lavender, both of which are made of the best material.

Mother Jia is an old feudal monarch and an elder. Since Mrs. Zhou was sick and unable to come, she naturally sat at the top table early. There were many people coming and going to toast. Most of the time, her face turned red, and she was very happy to see that everything went well for Jia Min.

Seeing Jia Min's mother and daughter approaching, Jia's mother smiled and tremblingly wanted to get up while leaning on her faucet stick. Jia Min hurried forward a few steps and helped Jia's mother to sit down again.

Most of the people sitting at this table are people from Jia's mansion, relatives of Shi's mansion, Aunt Xue and Baochai from Xue's mansion, and the husband and wife of Prince Teng, Wang Ziyan and his brother from the Wang family. Side Burang, seeing Jia Min, smiled and said to Jia Min, "Congratulations."

Jia Min just smiled, but didn't say anything.

She arranged for Daiyu to sit down, and went to other places to thank her for drinking.

Every time she walked, there were congratulations and congratulations one after another.

But Jia Min didn't know why, but felt her heart was cold.

"Double happiness is coming to your family, it's really gratifying."

"Congratulations."

"Dragon and phoenix twins are a good omen, so don't you agree now?"

After walking to the tables of several Madams of the Hou Mansion, Feng Xiu, Jia Min's childhood friend Madam Pingyang Hou, was delayed by something and came a bit late, so she hurried over, "To be honest, there has never been anything in your place." When the good news comes, I've always been worried," she teased the child behind Jia Min, "it's better now, I'm getting ahead."

"What's the matter of surviving and not surviving? These days, why don't we live alone." Jia Min looked at her three children with a bit of worry. "I didn't have much hope at the beginning. I just hoped that Daiyu would grow up safely and marry a good family in the end."

Feng Xiu looked at her old friend and couldn't help but sighed. She gave Daiyu a comforting look with her bright eyes, "Everyone will come in the end."

"Naturally, mother and the rest of their lives, didn't they all come here?" Jia Min smiled, and pulled Feng Xiu, "Go, go and sit, what are you doing here?"

Under the surprised eyes of several people, Jia Min dragged Feng Xiu straight to his family's table.

Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows immediately and glanced at Mother Jia.

Mother Jia didn't say anything, but looked at her daughter cheerfully.

In the mother's heart, no matter what the child does, the child is right. Of course, others may not think so. In addition, before Jia Min got married, Mrs. Wang disliked Jia Min's behavior in every possible way. I don't know why today. After a few glasses of wine, she got a little bit up, put down her jade chopsticks, and sat back in her seat. When Jia Min and Feng Xiu walked over, Mrs. Wang suddenly spoke.

She turned her head and said to Mrs. Xing: "I once heard people say that there are rules for banquets. Although the south and the north are different, it is true that it is good to say that when you go to the country, do as the Romans do. Some banquets are made by relatives. The banquet is for friends and family members, and it is in Beijing, but it is really clear."

After hearing this, Feng Xiu glanced at Mrs. Wang, feeling vaguely displeased.

Mrs. Xing didn't know why at the time, and subconsciously echoed, "Isn't that what you're talking about?"

Xifeng's eyes were sharp, and seeing Feng Xiu's complexion was not good, she immediately covered her lips with her sleeve and coughed, got up personally with the jug, and poured wine for the people around her.

Daiyu Tanchun and other young people did not dare to accept it, so they stood up quickly to refuse and persuade them.

As soon as this happened, Mrs. Xing saw Feng Xiu, her face turned white, and she quickly stood up to explain: "Mrs. Feng, that, this..."

She faltered and couldn't say anything for a long time.

She can't say that Mrs. Wang's words are wrong, because she will offend Mrs. Wang.

But she couldn't tell the truth, couldn't apologize, so she just stood there in embarrassment, shaking her hands, and carefully looked at Feng Xiu's expression.

When Feng Xiu was at home that day, she was not a fuel-efficient lamp, let alone a person who swallowed her anger. Now that her brothers mention her as an eldest aunt, they are also afraid that she will not be visible.

She ignored Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, raised her chin with a smile, and said to Jia Mu: "Mr. Rong Guo and Ning Guogong, the elders of the three dynasties, and the founding hero, are really good tutors. The Chen family of the Marquis of Pingyang is not talented. A vulgar person who doesn't know what is discipline and upbringing is considered educated today."

As soon as Feng Xiu finished speaking, Jia Mu's expression changed.

She was a little angry, because Feng Xiu didn't save any face, but after all, it was Mrs. Wang who provoked the trouble, not Feng Xiu, and secondly, she hated Mrs. Wang.

How did she marry such a daughter-in-law for her son?

The wife of Marquis Pingyang is the daughter-in-law of Princess Jingping, the elder sister of the emperor. Even if Mrs. Ge is in front of her, she has to weigh the weight of this relationship.

Mother Jia didn't like Mrs. Wang to some extent, but in the past, when she saw Mrs. Wang trembling in front of her, she followed her wishes and could tolerate it. Now that Yuan Chun has entered the palace, although Mrs. Wang is still in front of Mrs. Jia as always, she should He has done a lot of things, and he has done everything he should do, and he is respectful, but he has a lot of confidence in his words.

For example, if you have the guts today, you dare to lose Jia Min's face in front of others. If you are at home, as long as you don't make a scene, Jia Mu will just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. But today, Mrs. Pingyang Hou implicated.

She had to say a few words, the point is, what should she say?

Mother Jia was in a bit of trouble.

At this moment, she was thinking, if it was the old days, with Mrs. Wang's three hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to criticize like this.

Just when Jia's mother was in trouble, Daiyu suddenly said, "Mother?"

Jia Min quickly left Feng Xiu behind, "What's the matter? What's wrong?" She heard Daiyu's words, and she knew it might be because she was not feeling well.

Daiyu is in poor health. Like Lin Hai's father, she also suffered from insufficiency since she was a child. This is a well-known fact, and others are not surprised. If you are in a quarrel, go over and ask.

Sure enough, Daiyu muttered something to Jia Min in a low voice. Jia Min was a little anxious, touched Daiyu's forehead, and then went to talk to Jia Mu, and took Daiyu down first, and the two came back after a while.

When the two of them left the table, Jia Min was not at the table. Mrs. Wang shut up naturally after eating such a soft nail. Mrs. Wang was also a little sober, and made amends to Feng Xiu by beating around the bush with the excuse of drinking. .

"What's wrong?" Mother Jia asked hastily.

"There's nothing wrong with Zuo Zuo now, so mother doesn't have to worry." Jia Min answered eloquently.

Mother Jia just wanted to have fun today, so she didn't pay any attention to it.

##

In the afternoon, a theater listening session was arranged, but it happened that Ning Yun and Dai Yu were sitting together.

After listening to the begging, Ning Yun said to Daiyu: "I feel a little dizzy, maybe I ate too much sweet wine today, go out with me to sober up and get some air."

Daiyu naturally agreed.

The two went out from the stage together, and when they reached the nearby courtyard, Daiyu waved her hand, Xueqin herself was half a step behind, and the rest of the maids naturally didn't dare to follow, so Binlan and the others were on the same level , wait outside.

In May, it was Liu Yeyiyi, and the sun was just right today. It was spread on the stone, and you could see the koi carp, motionless, hiding in the shade.

The garden is also full of flowers, colorful and lively.

Sitting under the shade of willows, Daiyu glanced at Ning Yun questioningly, but Ning Yun sat beside Daiyu without saying anything.

Seen from a distance, the two of them seem to be looking at the budding peonies together, the garden is full of roses, or the blossoming magnolias are threaded with silver threads.

Ning Yun took the fan out from his sleeve and handed it to Daiyu, "Now, do you really want to ask where this fan came from?"

Daiyu Yuanshan's dark black eyebrows raised slightly, "I have always had a doubt in my heart, and I have been circling it so far. It is really better not to know anything, and I am not upset."

Ning Yun opened his fan and pointed to the outsider in the seal script to the north.

"I asked someone specifically. These three words do have some allusions."

"Appreciate further details."

Ning Yun closed the fan with a bang, a little solemnly: "But no matter what I say, please just laugh it off."

"That's funny. This fan belongs to my own family. It's innocent. Besides, it's just a vulgar thing. What's there to say?" go down.

Ning Yun didn't think it was disobedient, "It's a bit difficult to handle like this."

After hearing Ning Yun's words, Daiyu looked a little more solemn, and said, "Is it a matter of the sun and the moon hanging together?"

Ning Yun unfolded the fan and fanned it lightly, "If it's true that the sun and the moon are hanging upside down, it's fine. I'm afraid that once the dragon sleeps in the shallows, the geese will return to the imperial garden in the future."

Daiyu gasped.

Ning Yun looked at Daiyu, and found that Daiyu's expression was heavy, but he smiled and said, "I remember someone told me somewhere that wealth and prosperity are nothing but misty rain and sunrise, right and wrong are irrelevant. Things, floating clouds, profit and fortune, are not brought in by life, but not taken away by death, so why should we sigh for a long time?"

Daiyu was silent for a moment, "Because of the fetters of family affection in the world, she has no fear of the sea of ​​suffering, no fear of the world of mortals, even if she kills the present, she is also fearless."

An idea popped up in Ning Yun's mind, but Daiyu said in a deep thought: "The greatest sorrow in the world is one that can be seen through, cannot be bypassed, and cannot be avoided."

Ning Yun paused and said nothing.

The two sat for a while, and then turned back. The whole journey was silent, and neither of them spoke.

##

On the stage, Tsing Yi had gorgeous makeup, and with a flick of his sleeves, he sang operas tactfully.

Mrs. Wang took a sip of tea, looked at Jia Min, "I've always wanted to ask you something."

"But it's okay to ask." Jia Min handed the baby to the nurse, her brows were a little haggard, after all, the baby was born with some congenital deficiencies, and she was worried all day long.

Seeing that although the two children were relatively thin, Wang felt pity, and stretched out his hand to tease the children, "But you chose a name?"

Jia Min smiled and said: "The boy came from the bamboo of the Lin family, and his single name was a Zheng character. I thought about the girl, so I followed the name of Daiyu, but I couldn't find a suitable name. Now I just call it the second girl and the second girl. "

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Min and said with a smile, "Is it difficult to get a girl's name, what kind of virtuous and virtuous, etc., just choose one."

Jia Min smiled and didn't dwell on the topic, "Madam, what do you want to ask me?"

Wang scrutinized Jia Min's expression, and suddenly laughed, "Have you ever heard of a play called A Handful of Snow?"

Jia Min raised his chin and looked at Wang with a suspicious expression.

"What madam wants to say, just say it."

Wang smiled and said: "It seems that there is no need to ask any questions, I just want to sigh, there is no pure minister in the world."

"Madam's words are fabricated. It's better to be careful when you say something empty. If someone with a heart can really hear that the four kings and eight princes are all one, Madam is probably not willing to see such a situation." Jia Min raised an eyebrow. Said.

Wang closed the tea bowl with a smile, put the ice-cracked Ru kiln teacup aside, and said meaningfully: "I have always regarded it as Lin Hai, but unexpectedly that person taught you this sentence. It seems that behind you The man really has some insight."

Jia Min was stunned for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath.
