Red Mansion Kua Kua Group

Before they came, Sister Jin had told Daiyu in detail that Deng Baoning's mother was a princess, she was deeply loved by the queen mother in the palace, and she often entered the palace sooner or later.Baoning is also deeply loved, pampering her so delicately.

It was night while talking and joking, but I saw the flowers in the courtyard with several stamens, all clustered together, and the buds were bright and split, obviously about to open, Sister Jin hurriedly caught her breath: "Look at that flower."

In a few breaths, the epiphyllum blooms leisurely under the moon, swaying pearl buildings, white and clean like snowflakes, and a few stamens spit out from the large and soft petals, and there is a unique fragrance under the bright moon at night.

Sitting on the enamel embroidered pier, Baoning clapped his hands and said with a smile: "When the epiphyllum is in full bloom, the sound of silk and bamboo is indispensable."

Chen Nian smiled and said generously, "I know you can't sit still, so the master will naturally make arrangements."

Sister Jin smiled and told the maid beside her: "Quickly let the people in the pavilion over there play it."

After a while, the sound of guqin came from far away, Baoning pursed his lips and smiled: "You girl is so narrow, why does it have to be so far away?"

Sister Jin said proudly: "You are out of touch, you have to be far away to have this interest."

Sure enough, under the moonlight, tasting the fragrance of epiphyllum, quietly listening to the vast and ethereal guqin, my heart is much calmer.Someone brought over a long table, on which were placed the usual stove, vase, tripod and three things, with coral feathers inserted in the vase, and a large carved incense burner in the shape of a mountain.

Baoning first said: "The censer can be removed, but it's not good to collide with the fragrance of epiphyllum."

Chen Niandao: "It's also the kindness of sister Fu's family. I have to prepare this thing for night outings on weekdays. One is elegant and the other is mosquito repellent. I just didn't expect that after the epiphyllum blooms today, the flowers will have a pleasant fragrance."

Sister Jin glanced at Chen Nian gratefully, but Chen Nian smiled and said nothing, Daiyu looked at it in her heart, and secretly sighed that Chen Nian was really considerate and thoughtful, and calmly helped Sister Jin out of the situation.

But I don't know why the two siblings, the elder sister is so upright and dignified, but the younger brother is so unruly.

At this time, An Meier whispered: "This epiphyllum powder is dizzying, I don't know who can draw this mood."

Daiyu's heart moved: "My grandfather Jia's family, there is a young lady named Xichun from the Ningguo Mansion. She is a very good painter. I will ask her later."

An Meier was a little uneasy: "That's good, it's better to tire others." Because of the birthmark on her face, she was shy by nature, and she never liked to disturb others.

Daiyu waved her hand: "That sister is the most quiet and pure-hearted. She reads some Buddhist scriptures on weekdays, and she is not a person who cares about everything."

Bao Ning said strangely: "It's strange to say that I have been to many people in Beijing, but I have never seen this sister."

And Chen Nian said: "I don't blame you, the Jia family has always had less contact with people and fewer banquets, so naturally we can't see them."

Daiyu also felt strange, she didn't know why, except for important events such as red and white, the Jia family seldom interacted with people in the capital, and even when they went to occasional banquets, they met old relatives who were familiar with Jia's ancestors, and they didn't bring the girls from the house out to meet guests. of.

I remember that there were two times when foreigners finally came, but Mother Jia first recruited two people with foreign surnames, Xiangyun and Daiyu, and never let the three sisters of the Jia family show up.

There is a custom in the capital: if a girl grows up, her parents and elders will always take her around in order to have a better impression on the high school, whether it is appearance, manners, or talent, she must always be seen by the caring wife. So that children have more choices when they get married.

Father and Mr. Bai got married partly because of this consideration: there are banquets for noble ladies in Beijing, so you can't be a father and take your daughter with you?It is good to see if there is a female elder with him.

But when Jia's Yuanchun entered the palace, Xichun was still young, but Tanchun and Yingchun were already at the right age, so they had already made arrangements for their marriage, so let them come out to have a look, learning how to treat others with high eyebrows and low eyes, It's better than being blind and making jokes in the noble circle after marriage, right?

Daiyu guessed: it may be that my grandmother is old and mentally weak, so she naturally has no energy to socialize outside; although Mrs. Wang is young and powerful, she is not of high status, and the second uncle is only a sixth-rank official, which is nothing in Beijing. It is always inevitable that she will be ridiculed by villains who are bullying her. In addition, she has no daughter to marry. Both Yingchun and Tanchun are concubines. Although Tanchun calls her mother, it is estimated that Mrs. Wang has no plans for her future. However, although Xichun is a direct descendant, she is not from the next room. Naturally, she will not put any thought into planning for these girls in Jia's mansion.

Daiyu must be a little anxious, if she was ignorant in the past, it's fine, but now she is more transparent, naturally she doesn't want to let the good sisters get married indiscriminately, so she made up her mind to help these sisters.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came soon, and Mother Jia sent someone to ask Daiyu to go to the theater.It turned out that on the first day of this month, Jia's mansion held a ceremony at Qingxu Temple, and Wang Xifeng and Yingchun, who were training outside Zhuangzi, also came over.

In the first few days, Jia's mansion sent people to drive out those Taoist priests, cleaned up the building, hung up the curtains, no idlers were allowed to enter the temple, and it happened to be a quiet opera.

Daiyu had something on her mind, and wanted to see Sister Feng and Yingchun, so she readily agreed.On the first day of junior high school, she took a car with eight treasures of green cover and pearl tassels to the entrance of the Taoist temple.

Daiyu came early, and only then did she see a noisy procession coming from the other side of the street.

At the front of the queue was an eight-person sedan chair, which must have been taken by Jia Mu, followed by two four-person sedan chairs. Daiyu thought to herself, this must be Mrs. Wang and Li Wan.I just don't know why Mrs. Xue is not here.

When those cars also entered the gymnasium, they came down one by one. Only then did Daiyu see that Aunt Xue was there, but Mrs. Wang was not.Thinking about it again, it must have been waiting for a letter from Concubine De in the palace, so he stayed in the mansion.

Behind them, a Cuigai Zhuying Babao chariot and a Zhulun Huagai chariot descended successively from Xiangyun, Baochai, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun.

In total, the old mothers and nurses in each house and the family members and daughters-in-law who went out were crowded with cars along the street.Jia Mu and others have already entered the gate of the Taoist temple in a sedan chair, and the cars outside have not yet completed the end of the street.

This one said "I'm not with you", that one said "You have crushed our grandma's burden", the other side of the car said "I rubbed against my flower", and this side said "You broke my fan" , quack quack quack quack, joking non-stop.Zhou Rui's family came over and said: "Girls, this is outside, people are joking." After saying it twice, I felt better.

Daiyu sighed in her heart: such a luxury, who would have expected it to end in the future.

At this time, the sisters saw Daiyu, and Daiyu hurried to greet Jia Mu, who was so happy that Jia grabbed her; "I haven't seen Yuer for two days, and I want to scare my wife!"

Daiyu hurriedly helped her: "There is moss on the stone in the Taoist temple, the old lady carefully steps." The sisters met for a while, and it was very lively, and it took a while to go inside the Taoist temple.

Here, Mother Jia led the crowd into the second-story mountain gate, where they paid homage to each other. After a while, they sent Taoist Zhang to ask for an audience.

Zhang Daoshi was the substitute of the Duke of Rongguo Mansion back then. He was once called the "Illusion Immortal" by the emperor himself, and now he is in charge of the Daolu Siyin, and he is now named "End Real Man". "Immortal", Mother Jia must not be disrespectful, and ordered someone to invite him.

Daiyu was impatient with this, so she hid in the back and talked about family matters with the sisters.

But a voice from outside floated in. It turned out that Taoist Zhang was going to say kiss to Baoyu, "I saw a young lady in a house the other day. She is 15 years old this year..."

The voices of the sisters in the house were not loud, but at this moment when they heard the movement outside, Qi Qier stopped and pricked up their ears to listen to the movement outside.

For a while, I heard Taoist Zhang said that he met a young lady with excellent looks and family background. If he wanted to tell Baoyu, the expressions of the people outside the house could not be seen, and the expressions of the girls in the house were not right.

Xiangyun's first reaction was to look at Baochai, but unexpectedly Baochai was looking at Daiyu, Tanchun was also looking at Baochai, Qingwen was looking at Daiyu, but Daiyu didn't look at anyone, just stood there with a smile that wasn't a smile .

Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: seeing her girl like this, it's obvious that she doesn't have that kind of thought for Baoyu.Looking back at the expressions of those present, I secretly thought yes.

Now Daiyu doesn't live in the Grand View Garden, but Xiangyun comes more, so she is very close to Baoyu.Then Xiangyun seems to have unreasonable thoughts about Baoyu, so she pays attention to her rival Baochai.

And why does Baochai look at Daiyu instead of Xiangyun?One must know that Xiangyun and Baoyu are much closer than Daiyu now, and this is her shrewdness. Most of Baoyu's heart is in Daiyu, so it doesn't matter what Xiangyun thinks, Baochai naturally wants to pay more attention to Daiyu.

Tanchun is also a shrewd person, so she can see the Xue family's intention to stay in Jia's family for the past few years. In addition, she grew up under Mrs. Wang's knees, so she is naturally a fan of the classic "Golden Jade Marriage". Chai look.

The girls were a little embarrassed to look at each other, Qi Qier smiled "puchi" and continued listening.

But I heard Jia's mother say: "A monk said last time that Baoyu should not marry early in his life. Let's decide when he is older."

Hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help laughing. She was obviously in a Taoist temple, and in front of such a Taoist priest who lived like a god, Jia Mu said blatantly, "A monk said it", which was really a slap in the face.

Qingwen also listened to the music, didn't she?Mother Jia said to Taoist Zhang clearly, "If you meddle in your own business, don't blame me for being rude", and put on the name of a monk, which means "Of course I listen to the monk".

I didn't expect that Jia Mu's narrow-minded posture was quite similar to Daiyu's, but thinking of the demeanor when she was young, she wondered that her old man always liked Daiyu and the eloquent Fengjie, as well as the eloquent maid, this is not the same of?

But Daiyu was thinking in her heart: Whose name did this Taoist entrust?He has close contact with the palace, could it be that the eldest sister Yuan Chun asked him?In addition, there is a plate of gold and silver toys on the front end for Jia Mu. Is it a reminder that "good luck is the truth"?

He also thought that if Yuan Chun meant it, Mrs. Wang must have known about it, but just now Tanchun and Baochai stared in bewilderment, as if they knew it in advance.I don't know why...

Regardless of whether Zhang Daoshi came on a whim or was passing on the message for Concubine De, he was always blocked by Jia Mu who said "it's fate not to marry early". With this shield, no one can do it.

An "early marriage" suddenly made Baochai feel cold. Taoist Zhang said that the girl he kissed was also 15 years old, and he is also 15 years old now. Jia's mother said that she would not allow early marriage. It is obvious that Baoyu will not be settled in the past two years Marriage, but how many years can I delay?
