[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

As for the Lingguan mentioned by Ouguan and Diguan, he is another hard-working person in the Grand View Garden.

Lingguan played the role of a female role, and she was very talented in acting. Even on the day the Empress Yuanchun returned to the province, she personally praised her for her excellent acting. Girls, good life and teaching", and extra rewards such as palace satin, purses, gold and silver locks, food and so on.

Senior officials were originally valued by nobles, and they should have a bright future.Unexpectedly, on the one hand, she is stubborn and lofty by nature, and she refuses to take the opportunity to cling to the powerful;

Jia Qiang was doted on by Jia Zhen very much. Although she had a beautiful appearance, she was a flirtatious young man by nature.Originally, he was also on good terms with Lingguan, and the two had vowed to each other, but after the death of the empress dowager, the actors were dismissed, and Lingguan waited for Jia Qiang to pick her up according to the agreement. In desperation, he threw himself into the water and died.

Thinking of what happened to Lingguan, Baochai felt a little worried about Daiyu, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that the opera "The Peony Pavilion" was being rehearsed in the Lixiangyuan earlier. How do you listen to the script?"

Daiyu was shocked by the matter of Ouguan and Biguan, but she didn't want Baochai to ask her about the drama, and she couldn't change it for a while, but she heard that Baochai didn't wait for her to answer, but just said to herself: "I have something from the bottom of my heart. And remember. Although the operas of "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Romance of the West Chamber" are not serious articles, they are also the essence of the previous generations. Dao, you also like the drama. But I want to advise you, although the grammar of this book is good, but the narrative is just sensationalism. If you believe the story in the drama and change your temperament, you will inevitably suffer a loss. "

Daiyu's girlish nature is just at the time when her feelings are lingering, how can she hear Baochai's words?I have some doubts in my heart.

When she wanted to argue, Baochai didn't allow her to argue, so he just said politely to her, "Don't worry, I didn't mean to punish you by saying this. You don't think I'm naughty? Back then, our family was also a scholar's family." , my grandfather’s favorite collection of books, my sisters and brothers all like some poems, and these operas such as "The West Chamber" and "Pipa", there are everything, everyone reads behind their backs. The adults know that they beat and scold , Burning and burning, it doesn’t help. I didn’t realize it until my master said something to me that day, and I threw these things away from then on. Guess what she said?”

Daiyu listened to Baochai's narration, but she had already listened to it. At this time, she heard Baochai's question and said with a smile: "I think your master must be the aunt who came out of the palace? She has seen a lot, If you say it, it must be more effective than the charm of the Jade Emperor."

Baochai shook her head and said, "You guessed it wrong. She just told me that the story told in the play "The West Chamber" came from "The Story of Yingying". Yuan Zhen made up a story based on his cousin. Do you know what happened to Yingying?"

Daiyu has always known that Yuan Zhen, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, said that "Once the sea was too difficult for water, except Wushan is not a cloud". To conclude a good relationship, Yingying's real ending is just like this, but firstly, she is a boudoir lady, reserved by nature, and secondly, when she meets Baochai, she speaks solemnly, and she must have something inside, so it is not easy to say her guess easily. .

"What's the matter?" Daiyu smiled lightly, "Sister Suzhi and elder sister are the most well-known and memorized, so don't play tricks at this time."

Sure enough, Baochai still remembered the words and sentences in "The Story of Yingying". She turned her face away and said to Daiyu word by word: "Zhang Sheng said with his own eyes: the beautiful things ordered by heaven do not demonize themselves, but must demonize others. .Yu Zhi's virtue is not enough to defeat evildoers, but to use patience."

Daiyu's face turned pale all of a sudden.She naturally understood the meaning of this passage.It is nothing more than Zhang Sheng defending his own misfortune, saying that Yingying is a peerless monster, and Zhang Sheng's own virtue is not enough to defeat the monster, so he had to reluctantly give up.But how innocent is Yingying?

"Yingying said, if you start to be chaotic, and finally abandon it, it is appropriate to be solid, and fools dare not hate. Finally, this evil relationship is ended." Baochai continued.

It's just that Daiyu was speechless when she first heard about it.

In fact, Baochai still has a lot to say.Baochai wanted to tell Daiyu that it is said that the model of "The Story of Yingying" was Yuan Zhen's cousin, and Yuan Zhen never forgot her after the beginning and end. To give his wife Webster, it can be seen that men in the world are ungrateful and ungrateful, and it is by no means the deep affection and no regrets in the dramas of "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion".If you mistakenly believe the stories in these dramas, you are afraid that you will make a wrong step, and you will be a hundred years old if you look back.

Seeing that Daiyu's beauty had turned pale, Baochai couldn't bear to continue, so he just smiled and said to her, "I'm just talking casually. The people in the previous dynasty were chaotic, so how can I observe etiquette like my court? It's just that women in the boudoir are more and more difficult." If you make a slight mistake in your behavior, you may be laughed at."

Daiyu was silent.

In fact, she just loves the beautiful and beautiful words of the opera, and has no other thoughts, but she also knows that Baochai's words are really good words, heart-to-heart words, if she does not treat her as a relative, she will not say it easily .

"On weekdays, I only complain that my sister is far away from me, but I didn't expect that my sister is actually a warm-hearted person." Daiyu was moved, "My sister's words are really good words, and I wrote them down. To be honest, I was still here just now." When I watched "The Romance of the West Chamber" at Qinfangzha, I only felt that the rhetoric was alarming, but I didn't expect there to be so many origins."

Since Daiyu was willing to answer the truth about her private viewing of "The Romance of the West Chamber", she probably listened to the persuasion.

Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I met a snow goose in the garden just now, and she is looking for you to go back to take medicine all over the yard. Why don't you hurry back , I'm afraid it will be bad if it delays the hour."

But Daiyu also laughed and said, "How can a host drive away guests?" But she was very grateful for Baochai's kindness to her, so she didn't stay long, got up and left.

Baochai had been sending Daiyu out of the gate of Hengwuyuan, and saw Zijuan go up to speak from a distance, and she expected it to be all right, so she turned and went back to her room.As soon as he entered the room, he saw the nanny Zhang Mama sitting on a chair with a happy face. Seeing Baochai stand up quickly, she said with a smile, "The girl is very happy. I heard that an official media came to the door and asked to see the girl."

Baochai was startled, and hurriedly asked why.It turned out that although Baochai often talked to Aunt Xue about asking the official matchmaker to talk about marriage, but because of Mrs. Wang's face and Aunt Xue's obstruction everywhere, the matter could not be settled.Unexpectedly, the official media came to see her. Could it be that Aunt Xue changed her temper and changed her mind?

As a result, I asked Madam Zhang to find out that Aunt Xue didn't know anything about it. When the official media came to her door, although she didn't attack her face to face, she was furious after the official media left. Baochai hated marrying blindly, she didn't have the dignity of a lady in the boudoir, and she lost face to the Xue family.

"Do you know where he is from?" Baochai was reborn as a human being, so naturally he didn't have to be as reserved as a woman raised in a deep boudoir.This matter is related to her lifelong event, so she has to ask clearly.

Madam Zhang looked very embarrassed: "I didn't find out about this. But Ying Erniang also went to inquire about it." Although they were servants in Hengwu Garden, they also had contacts at Aunt Xue. It is much easier than Baochai's direct daughter.

Baochai had some bad premonitions in his heart, and after a while, he saw Yingerniang came back, her face was drawn and gloomy, until she saw Baochai, she restrained herself a little, and replied sullenly: "Madam can't help but say, Drive away the official media."

Baochai was startled, and secretly groaned in her heart.

It should be noted that although this official media is not of high status, it is one of the three aunts and six wives. It is quite well connected and has a lot of energy.What's more, the matchmakers in the capital are different from those in Jinling. I'm afraid they can even enter and leave the prince's mansion without hindrance.Therefore, even if the words of ordinary people are not speculative, they still provide tea and food. Only Aunt Xue, because of anger with her daughter, lost her mind for a while and drove the official media out of her temper.

Yes, the Xue family is good relatives of the Jia family of the Duke's Mansion and the Wang family of the Admiral of the Nine Provinces. Right now, the Concubine Yuan is very popular in the palace, and Wang Ziteng is the favorite of the imperial court. It is not easy for the official media to challenge the Xue family.But what the official media is most proficient at is the secret tricks, spreading rumors casually, saying that you are not good, even if you have the best love, I am afraid that you will be blocked.

"Do you know which official media is here?" Baochai asked hurriedly.

Aunt Xue only cared about contradicting Baochai, thinking that she could betroth Baochai to Baoyu even if she offended the official media, but she didn't expect Xue Pan to be found yet.If the official media is willing to do their best to select gentle and courteous women who are ikea and room from among the officials and ladies, it will be a blessing for the Xue family. If the official media deliberately retaliates and marry Xia Jingui like in the previous life, the Xue family will never have peace Now, how can Aunt Xue, a mother-in-law, have a good life?

Therefore, Baochai was busy inquiring about the source of the official media at the first time, intending to make amends afterwards, so as to make a way, even if the official media had some money, it would be better to smooth the matter out.

But Ying Erniang shook her head with some guilt: "I haven't found out about this. I just know that the family name of the person who asked the official media to propose marriage is Han, and I don't know which Han family it is."

Baochai couldn't help crying and laughing.Given the size of the capital, where can one find a family surnamed Han?What's more, she wants to be seen by the official media, she just wants to leave the right and wrong nest of Jia's family, and she is not in a hurry to get married.So I didn't care what Yingerniang said, but just asked her to find out the origin of the official media.

Yingerniang hurriedly agreed and withdrew.But Chen Yi's family came forward again and reported to Baochai that a letter had come from his hometown in the south, saying that Baochai's uncle, that is, the father of Xue Baoqin and Xue Biao, was gone.

This is something that has happened in previous lives.Because Baochai had made preparations in advance, she wasn't very surprised. She just thought of what happened to Xue Biao's brothers and sisters from then on, and sighed inwardly: I'm afraid that something will happen to Qin'er and the Mei family's marriage.
