A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

On this day, Daiyu just woke up from her afternoon nap when she heard Zijuan come to report that Baochai had come.Before the voice fell, Baochai had already walked in, and said with a smile, "my sister is still on her lunch break, but it's my fault." Daiyu hurriedly said, "sister Bao is teasing me again, so why don't I get up already?" It's just to prevent Baoyu from coming in abruptly. Now that everyone is old, we should also be on guard against men and women." Baochai heard Daiyu's words and sighed: "My sister still makes sense. I have always treated Brother Bao as my own brother, but after all these years, I have forgotten that even brothers and sisters should have a sense of proportion."

Hearing Baochai's words, Zijuan was pulling his relationship with Baoyu away inside and out, so he could not help curling his lips. A few days ago, he went to Baoyu's room to make a bellyband for Baoyu. Who is it? The child is dead.Qingxuan, who came in behind Baochai with something in his arms, threw the things into Zijuan's arms and glared at her.He stepped forward and said, "Miss, come and see, Miss Bao has brought a lot of interesting things."

Daiyu was fully awake, and said jokingly, "What is this?" Baochai took Daiyu's hand and said sincerely, "If I don't say it, my sister doesn't know what I mean, and neither do I." What precious things should I bring to my sister because I know that my sister likes these simple and unsophisticated things, and our shop has bought some goods from various places from south to north, so I brought some things to my sister." Daiyu I was very touched in my heart, but my mouth was not forgiving, and I frowned, and said, "This time, it's not someone else who picked the leftover." After getting rid of the confusion in my heart, there is no one in the Grand View Garden who can compare to her except Daiyu.

The two were chatting and laughing, when suddenly Xueyan rushed in and shouted: "Miss, it's not good, it's not good, I heard that the elder has given away the second girl." Daiyu and Baochai They looked at each other, although Yingchun had reached the age of getting married, but Jia She never cared about these things. Although Mrs. Xing treated Yingchun much more kindly, she would not disobey Jia She because of this.There is also a well-known careful thought. In terms of status, although Yuan Chun is the eldest girl in this mansion, she is the second wife. Be a female official instead of a serious concubine.Although Yingchun is a concubine, she is actually the daughter of the great master Jia She. Her father is a first-rank official. The daughter of an official with a third rank or higher in the imperial court will either mean marriage or become a concubine. How could she give up such a good opportunity? Woolen cloth.

Daiyu has always felt pity for these sisters, and she has to take care of them all the time in her daily life, let alone such a big event in a girl's life.Busily called Xueyan over and asked carefully.But it turned out that Mr. Jia She had been staying in the mansion to play with his grandson some time ago, so he really couldn't bear to go out to play these few days, and this time he went out and hooked the gluttons out of his stomach.After five tastes of food and three rounds of wine, the gambling spirit naturally came up. A tall and strong man came to the banquet in a daze. After saying that this is the first-class general of the Jia family, he flattered Jia Amnesty.That person is called Sun Shaozu, although he looks rough and bold, but he really knows how to socialize and adapt. He said that his family ancestor was a military officer, and he was a student of Ning Rong's mansion back then. .Jia Amnesty was very satisfied with him. When he found out that he was under thirty and had a wealthy family, but there was no one in charge of the family, he had no idea in his mind. He didn't even blink his eyes when he thought about the hundreds of taels of money he gambled. Naturally moved, he said that he would be a matchmaker for him.

Back in the mansion, after much deliberation, there is only one girl in the mansion, Yingchun, in the eldest room. Naturally, she would not let others do such a good thing.Although he is a fool, he is actually a kind father and caring. To him, Sun Shaozu is a good son-in-law. When the two governments get married, he can easily find a future for Sun Shaozu's military department. He just knows that although his daughter is not as wooden as before, She also knows how to please others, but she was afraid that Yingchun would not like it, so she didn't say clearly that she was her own girl when she was a matchmaker.But Jia's mother didn't know that Mrs. Wang had been soliciting dissension in her ear, and when Jia She attacked the duke, the duke's title was downgraded by three ranks to become a first-class general. Naturally, she was somewhat prejudiced, so she thought Jia She was unstable. The reason will welcome the Spring Festival.She scolded Jia She severely, but now Jia She was annoyed, thinking that all marriages in the world are ordered by parents and the words of matchmakers, there is no reason for grandmother to make decisions, what was originally only a three-point matter has become * minutes, just waiting for Sun Shaozu to come to propose marriage.

At this moment, Jia Amnesty was having a drink with him, uttering the truth after drinking, the little girls in the big houses had never seen a few coins, Xue Yan just cleared up the news with just a few snacks, and hurried to tell Dai Jade.Daiyu asked: "Do the other masters in the garden know about it?" Xueyan replied: "There is no reason for such news to reach the ears of our masters and ladies, but it is only when it is finally done that we inform you." .But I know that the girl is capable, and she is good with the second girl, so I hurried to tell you after inquiring about it."

Daiyu sighed and said with a wry smile, "You treat me as a god, omnipotent. What can I do about such a thing?"

Baochai heard this, and said, "Sure enough, our masters look like gold and jade in the eyes of servants. In fact, our suffering is less than theirs. Since Sun Shaozu is in short supply for the Ministry of War, I'm afraid he will catch up with you." Ingratiating to the Rongguo Mansion is just to seek a future by taking advantage of the power of the Rongguo Mansion. Whether the second sister is beautiful or ugly, why would she put her eyes on it. It would be fine if this matter comes to fruition, but if it doesn't, I'm afraid the future of the second sister will be in jeopardy."

Daiyu was even more anxious: "People in the mansion always know that they are asking for vacancies for those who came, but they are all through the influence of your uncle Wang's family. Now that he has gone to other places, how can he be used, let alone It's a big house, and it's fine if the second wife doesn't get into trouble. Would she still help? What's more, what the old man said is forgotten, if he has already said to help others find vacancies, I'm afraid it will be early It has been forgotten. Even if I remember, I don’t have the ability. This matter has not been settled yet, but luckily Da Furen gets along well with Yingchun on weekdays, so it didn’t add fuel to the flames.”

Baochai thought for a while, took Daiyu's hand, and said, "If my sister believes in me, I will settle this matter. You can wait for my news."

Daiyu is the most capable of perceiving other people's sincerity. Why didn't she know what Baochai meant? , go beg the old lady again."

Baochai suddenly smiled and said, "Sister, you know that I have always cared about helping others and never got involved with myself. This time I said I can help, so of course I can really help, and it won't hurt to me."

After finishing speaking, Baochai left, and Daiyu had no choice but to let her go, but she was still not at ease. While preparing to ask Jia's mother, she secretly wrote a letter and asked Qingxuan to send it out of the house for someone outside to send it to Jia Lian. .Just in case Jia Lian is asked to talk about a marriage for Yingchun outside, it can be dealt with for a while.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, there was no news about this marriage in the entire mansion.It made Daiyu very anxious. After more than a month and a half, Baochai came again. Daiyu hurriedly welcomed her into the room and began to inquire.But it turned out that Baochai didn't take any direct action when he went back, but came to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.Not only helped Yingchun, but also solved the problems left by Xia Jingui.

After Baochai went back, she asked Aunt Xue to talk to Mrs. Xing. She praised the wealth of the Xia family, but regretted the girl's temper, and sighed that she didn't want her son to suffer. How can I not marry if I feel a little bit wronged?It's a pity that Mrs. Xing also admired it, and said that Xia's family is also a family of orphans and widows, sitting on millions of wealth, but they can't protect it, and the girl's temper is also spread outside. If anyone can find someone with power A powerful husband introduces her to her family, even if the gift given is not tens of thousands of taels.When Mrs. Xing heard this, even her eyeballs almost fell out.When she married in, the dowry was only a thousand taels, and she had never been in charge of the family affairs, and she had never made money. Jia Amnesty was even more stingy, and she was not beautiful, so why would she give her some personal belongings? After several years in Jia's mansion, it was nothing more than those monthly bills.At the beginning, she tried to manage the servants, but they were not enough. Later, she didn't care about her face and fought for a reputation of being stingy.Hearing this news now, how can I bear it.Blow the wind into Jia She's ears every night.

It's strange, Jia She never listened to her words in the past, but this time they said what Jia She had in mind.It turned out that what she was talking about was that Brother Hui, who was born to Sister Feng, grew up, and his title was only a fifth-rank captain of Yunqi, and he was actually the same as the little official who came to Rongguo's mansion every day to beg for favors. My aunt can have a good future, but I'm afraid she won't be able to support him.Jia She doesn't care for others, but this little grandson has been together for several months, and Tong Yan Tong Yu is the most sincere, which naturally arouses his sincerity, but it is also moved.It's just that Yingchun was supposed to be drafted in Yuanchun province last time, but the emperor himself skipped it. Now if he waits another year, even though Yingchun is still within the stipulated age, he is afraid that he will not be able to compare with other showgirls.Mrs. Xing said that everyone in the capital knew that the Jia family only talked about the second master and not the elder master, so they didn't come to propose marriage. If they entered the palace, they would not be able to become a concubine. It's good to find someone, even if the husband's family is unwilling and unable to disobey the imperial edict.Jia Amnesty was really shaken now, but he didn't know how to deal with Sun Shaozu.Mrs. Xing learned to beat around the bush this time, and only then did she say what she really meant, and introduced Xia Jingui to Sun Shaozu's family, and said that in fact, the money in this dynasty can be used to magic, and the Sun family has the wealth of the Xia family, and a large amount of money is sent in. , I was also afraid that I would not be able to find a shortage. I was afraid that the Sun family came from a small place before, and thought that a few thousand taels would be a lot of money. Good to see you, is the kid difficult?Jia Amnesty was indeed a fool, and the next day he forgot what he had said in front of Jia's mother, and went to talk to Sun Shaozu and Xia's family, and the two hit it off.Both he and Mrs. Xing received a lot of thank-you gifts.

Both of these two were very proud of this matter, and wished that the world would know about it. Because Aunt Xue helped Mrs. Xing get the silver, they were the first to get the news. Baochai was also afraid that Daiyu would be worried, so he came to tell first, and then He smiled and said, "I'm afraid that everyone in the house will know about it in a few days." After hearing this, Qingxuan chuckled and said to Daiyu, "It's hard for the eldest lady to speak so rationally this time. Sure enough, money can make me feel better." Pushing ghosts, even she can come up with such a shrewd trick for this stupid thing."

Daiyu said with a smile: "This is called a fool who thinks a thousand times, and he will gain something."

Yingchun who was outside the door was looking for Daiyu and wanted to inquire about the news. She was not well-informed, and she was still half-aware at this time, but who would have heard it clearly outside the door, and at this moment her heart was hazy As soon as he came in, he pinched Daiyu's cheek and said with a smile, "It's really cramped." Several people laughed together.
