Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

The day Yu Heng and Dai Yu got married was chosen by Master Lingtai, and it was a perfect match made in heaven on an auspicious day.

Master Lingtai came to Beijing because of the Avalokitesvara relics and Beiye inscriptions in Chang'an City, and temporarily lived in the Muni Temple outside the west gate. Many people knew her reputation and often came to ask for advice.Master Lingtai has a eccentric nature, she only sees three or five of the hundreds of people who visit her, but she is very good at performing innate numbers, so she is even more respected.

Yuan Chun is the only daughter of Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang is a person who believes in gods and Buddhas very much. She once asked Master Lingtai to choose a date with Yuan Chun and the horoscope of Prince Xining.Master Lingtai chose the twentieth of October, but the prince of Xining was going to be stationed in Ping'an Prefecture, and he was eager to marry a wife, and Yuanchun's age could not be delayed, so he finally decided on the tenth day of the eighth month, which was the two days between Daiyu and Yu Hengxiaoding. in the future.

After hearing about the day when Yuan Chun came out of the cabinet, Jia Min let out a long sigh, but didn't mention it anymore.

If calculated according to the previous life, Master Lingtai passed away in the winter of last year, and Miaoyu was taken into the Grand View Garden by Jia's family this year. However, Master Lingtai is still alive, but Miaoyu is married.Lin Ruhai didn't care about Yuanchun's marriage, because she was not a concubine, the Grand View Garden would be gone, and there would be no grand occasion of visiting relatives next year, so he took out the gift from Jia She before he left and distributed it to Brother Lin Rui and Daiyu.

Jia Amnesty's gifts were all good things, and both Lin Rui and Lin Zhi let Daiyu choose first.

Daiyu humbly refused, so she chose the Guqin and the piano score. Although this Guqin is not a peerless famous piano, it has a clear and clear tone, which is also rare, and it is made by everyone. The two piano scores are also ancient songs that I have never seen before. , I think it is an orphan.

Lin Rui said: "Your sister only picks these two? I'll just look at the calligraphy and painting, and my younger sister will take one."

Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile: "Qin and qin score are enough. I don't lack calligraphy and painting. I have a lot of them. Could it be that my brother and Chouer won't allow me to appreciate calligraphy and painting in the future? Is this calligraphy and painting always put away?" The ones at home, whenever I want to see them, I’ll ask my brother and Chou’er to borrow them to observe.”

After hearing this, Lin Rui asked Lin Zhi again.

Lin Zhi looked at Daiyu, thought for a long time, took two calligraphy papers and a precious inkstone, and said with a smile: "Last time my father said that my handwriting is not as good as my brother's, so I will practice calligraphy with the calligraphy paper. It happens that in a few days It is the birthday of Mr. Xu in the Imperial College, Mr. Xu loves precious inkstones, and this inkstone is just right for a birthday gift."

Seeing that the two of them didn't pick much, Lin Rui couldn't help laughing and said, "Two chess books, two calligraphy and paintings, one postcard, two pieces of porcelain, and one piece of jade, are these all cheaper for me?"

Daiyu and Lin Zhi laughed together and said, "Big brother is the elder, so he deserves more."

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min saw that their brothers and sisters were very friendly at the top, and they were secretly proud that their children were indeed better than other families. Look at other families, for a few things, they are more or less fighting like black-eyed chickens, let alone They are relatives, but they are turned enemies, just like Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng brothers.

Jia Min couldn't help asking: "Big brother really cheated mother once and took away 3 taels of gold?"

3 taels of gold is not a small amount, and Jia Min knows that these are all obtained from the war between the old Duke and Jia Daishan. They usually spend silver and copper coins, and seldom use gold to buy things, so the Jia family saved a lot. .

Lin Ruhai chuckled lightly and said: "Can it be fake? A few days ago, brother-in-law came to me and asked about the future disaster. I didn't want to say more, but seeing that brother-in-law has not He didn't do anything harmful to nature, and Lian'er was progressive, so he told him one by one, which meant to make him fear first, and then he wouldn't cause trouble again. I don't want my brother-in-law, but he can't bear to part with the property in the house. After thinking about it for several days, it was finally done on the day of departure. Thirty thousand taels of gold, two farms of one hundred hectares, two shops, the deed of the ancestral house, plus some rare calligraphy and painting antiques, it is really not a small sum."

Just as Lin Ruhai finished speaking, Lin Rui, Lin Zhi and Daiyu stopped listening.

Jia Min asked why, and sighed: "I'm afraid it's my mother who hates it very much. In the early years, my elder brother paid back the shortfall of 50 million taels. Most of it was pawned. It's okay. Now I can't make ends meet, but with these , About half of it was taken away, if it wasn't for the fact that the second sister-in-law was in the elder brother's room earlier, the mother would definitely not follow her."

Lin Ruhai said indifferently: "If the mother-in-law acted more fairly, it wouldn't be like this."

Jia Min said: "That's right. Since ancient times, the old and the young have been orderly, upside down, and this is the beginning of chaos." She didn't know the benefits of Baoyu. For him, Jia Mu almost ignored her. Too much is harmful.

Daiyu suddenly said: "The eldest uncle has done these things, and the eldest aunt and second sister are still at home. What should I do?" I'm 14 years old this year, and I'll be old next year. Madam Dou is supposed to wait until Yingchun comes out of the cabinet before taking Jia Cong out of Beijing to reunite with Jia She and others.

Jia Cong was a bastard with mediocre talents, but fortunately he was honest and responsible, so although he was not as glamorous as Jia Lian, he was not as wretched and rude as Jia Huan.These are all heard from Yingchun and Xichun.

Jia Min waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, your eldest aunt has her own means of dealing with it."

In a few days, Mrs. Dou brought Yingchun and Xichun to hand over the post, and they met and asked, and there was nothing wrong.

At the beginning of July, when it was extremely hot, Lin Ruhai was wearing an official uniform and went to court every morning, feeling very uncomfortable. As soon as he arrived this morning, he saw Gu Ming and Jia Yucun talking there, and their words were very affectionate.After Lin Ruhai entered Beijing, he knew that Jia Yucun had entered Beijing, and it was because Prince Tengbao Benzuo had been promoted.

When it comes to nature, Gu Ming and Jia Yucun are very similar, they are both ungrateful people, Lin Ruhai doesn't like it.

Because Gu Ming betrayed Prince Yizhong, the Supreme Emperor gave him a real promotion. Gu Ming knew in his heart that he just wanted to get himself out of Prince Yizhong, and that was the only way to do it, otherwise he would be destroyed along with Prince Yizhong. .After experiencing the incident with Prince Yizhong, Gu Ming was conscientious and did not dare to slack off in his official duties. No one could find fault with him. In addition, he had many contacts and had many classmates in the same age, so he was still in court. The classroom is like a fish in water.

Gu Ming's rank is much higher than that of Jia Yucun, and he has been operating in the capital for many years. How can Jia Yucun, who has just entered the capital, be comparable.He could see at a glance that Jia Yucun was the same person as himself, and when he saw Jia Yucun came up to talk, he was friendly, but he was secretly wary of Jia Yucun, and he was not honest, so as not to be betrayed by him in the future.

When Jia Yucun was an official in Yingtian Mansion, he took charge of the Xue family and suppressed the Jin family. today.

Seeing that Gu Ming was looking at Lin Ruhai, Jia Yucun hurriedly said, "When I was in Jiangnan, I had heard of Lord Lin's fame."

Gu Ming glanced at him indifferently, thinking how much does Jia Yucun know compared to himself?When he was in the capital, he watched Lin Ruhai rise up step by step, and until today, his rank is actually higher than his own.Gu Ming was jealous and hated in his heart, but he also knew that the Lin family was the in-laws of the Yu family. Seeing that Emperor Changqing wanted to use Yu Heng again, he naturally favored the Lin family, so he couldn't do anything himself. Moreover, Lin Ruhai was shrewd and cunning. crimes.

In the year of Lin Ruhai's rebirth, he took care of the servants of the Lin family first. For more than [-] years, he sent his confidants to supervise and check every year. None of the servants of the Lin family dared to bully others. There are not many members in the Lin family, and they were all educated by the academy. I am grateful to Lin Ruhai and followed suit. Lin Ruhai, as an official, has a good reputation, not to mention Brother Lin Rui, who has never done anything wrong.

Because of this, even if Gu Ming wanted to replace Lin Ruhai, he couldn't do it.

Jia Yucun flattered Gu Ming, but did not dare to offend Lin Ruhai, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Mr. Lin's Yue family's Rongguo Mansion is still in the same family as the lower official's. Because he has frequent contacts with the Jia family, he knows more about it."

Gu Ming's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Rongguo Mansion is home to everyone in Xingrong, but unfortunately, the long house is no longer in the capital."

Jia Yucun said: "Although the chief house is not here, Mr. Zheng is here. He is most like an ancestor. He has the demeanor of a virtuous and corporal. The officials have visited Rongguo Mansion several times. It is very good. Their elder brothers are also born extraordinary. They have always It is because of the good fortune of the heaven and the earth that we have today's weirdness. If the adults are willing, the lower officials can introduce one or two."

After Jia Yucun entered Beijing, he first inquired about the news from Jia Zheng, and knew that Gu Ming had never had any contact with the Rongguo Mansion.

Gu Ming thought for a while, and said: "Their family is only inferior to the Wangfu in the capital, and I often listen to their names. If you think it's good, you can take a rest sometime and introduce me. I can help Mr. Zheng for a while." It's also unknown."

Jia Yucun smiled and said yes, but he was thinking about the benefits he would get after introducing them.

Lin Ruhai's kung fu has become more and more advanced, and he heard a few words indistinctly, secretly disdainful, regardless of Jia Yucun's close relationship with Jia Zheng at this time, and it was the same in his previous life. Jia Amnesty, the stone nerd did not die, and later he was wronged, which became Jia Amnesty's crime.At this time, Jia Yucun turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He did not say that he had made up his own mind, but only that he had received Jia Amnesty's order, so Jia Amnesty was charged with another crime.

When he was young, Su Li came over, saw this, and said: "It's just a raccoon dog, what do you see?" Su Li didn't care about court affairs, but he saw people more and more clearly. He was on good terms with Lin Ruhai, so he didn't know that Gu Ming was a man. Yucun and Gu Ming chatted very happily, and remembered what Lin Ruhai had said about the Zhen family's past. Knowing Jia Yucun's nature, he felt extremely disgusted.

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly, but fortunately, Su Li, although aloof, was also a governor, his voice was only heard by the two of them.He glanced at Su Li and saw that his face was full of joy, not as calm and breezy as before, so he couldn't help asking: "What's the happy event?"

Su Li smiled and said: "There is a happy event, I will tell you later."

Miaoyu found out that she was pregnant yesterday, and the news was sent to Su's family. Su Li and his wife were overjoyed and didn't know what to do. At night, they discussed asking Mrs. Su to visit her during the day, and picked out a lot of supplements and medicinal materials to protect her pregnancy. Li had to go to court today, so he also went there with Mrs. Su.It's just that Miaoyu has only been pregnant for two months, so she doesn't say anything for the time being.

Lin Ruhai didn't know the reason, and said, "Then I'll just wait."

Without saying a word, seeing Yu Heng coming in, Su Li smiled and said, "Grandpa Yu has been promoted from a concubine to a minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "The Holy Majesty wants to use him more, so naturally he has to give him a real shortage. What is this? As I expected, this clerk will not last long, and he will have to be promoted sooner or later." Unfortunately, , Jia Zheng is also in the Ministry of Industry, still Yuanwailang, and Yingshanlang is actually the doctor of Yingshuishi, who is the peak of Jia Zheng.

When Yu Heng saw Lin Ruhai, he immediately came over to say hello.

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly, and said: "Wait until the court is over, and wait for me to go back together."

Yu Heng responded with a smile.He and Daiyu are going to have a wedding in a month, and they are looking forward to it. Chang Si wonders what kind of appearance Daiyu has grown into. If it wasn't for Mrs. Yu's poor health, he would have visited the door several times before the bed. .If so, Yu Heng also prepared a lot of things and was planning to send them by Lin Rui's hand.

The title of Yu Heng is super grade, and he is highly valued by Emperor Changqing, so he goes to court every day, and now he is promoted to be a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, and he must go to the Ministry of Industry. Ashamed and ashamed.

Yu Heng saw all the officials from the Ministry of Industry and so on, but he didn't linger on Jia Zheng.It's not good to care about it any more.

When he got home from get off work, Jia Zheng thought of Yu Heng unconsciously, secretly admired him, and immediately called Baoyu to reprimand him, saying: "I see that you have recovered, so you should still go to school."

Baoyu suddenly felt pain all over his body, like a mouse seeing a cat, and dared not make a sound.

It happened that Mrs. Wang brought Yuan Chun's dowry list to Jia Zheng. Hearing this, she hurriedly persuaded him, "Baoyu was born weak, and his elder brother is already like that. Why is the master persecuting him? It's good to be motivated, but don't let him go." Hit him, and by that time, not only the old lady and I will be distressed, but also the master, won't it be distressed?"

Baoyu also said respectfully: "Go back to Mrs. and Mrs., I haven't been feeling well these days."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng became even more annoyed, and said with a sneer, "Which day is your best? How many times have you pretended to be sick when you talked about studying? How many times have you pretended to be sick? The old lady pampered you, but I can't! Look at it." Other people have already become famous at your age, but you haven't even finished studying the Four Books and Five Classics, standing in front of me, almost dirtying my land! You don't have to do this anymore, I won't come to beat you, you can't do well in the future I will punish you for copying more books, if the old lady knows about it, she won't blame me anymore!"

Mrs. Wang was slightly relieved when she heard him say that Baoyu would not be beaten.Now that Jiazhu is gone, she is also looking forward to Baoyu's future, otherwise she would not value Baochai who often advises Baoyu to study and improve, even Yuanchun, and she also said that Baochai can be a good wife.

Thinking of the day when Jia She's family left Beijing and made Aunt Xue's mother and daughter have to leave, Mrs. Wang felt resentful. Aunt Xue refused to come over for several days, she just said she was ashamed, she persuaded her several times, and tried to persuade her to stay again, which was better.

Baoyu was miserable, but seeing that Jia Zheng was very serious, he had to obediently agree.

Jia Zheng shouted: "If you don't go back to prepare pens, inks and books, what are you doing here?"

Baoyu hurriedly resigned and walked out of the room. Jin Chuaner and Xiufeng Xiuluan were playing in the corridor. Seeing his dejected expression, Jin Chuaner smiled and said, "What's the matter? Could it be that you were reprimanded by the master? I see you Just read a few books honestly, and you will gain fame and wealth in the future, so the master will not come to reprimand you."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said, "I just put fragrant rouge on my mouth, do you want to eat it or not?"

Xiufeng pushed her and said: "You are too frivolous, let Baoyu go back quickly, so as not to worry the old lady. And Xiren, who will spend the rest of his life with Baoyu in the future, isn't it just embarrassing you? Let people know, be careful with your skin!"

Baoyu made a grimace and left in a hurry.

But Mrs. Wang waited for Baoyu to go out, showed Jia Zheng the dowry list, and said, "Look, sir, what else can I add?"

Jia Zheng frowned and said, "I'm not good at this. You are the one who decides. Since it's August, you have to take care of it carefully. Yuan girl is very lucky and has become a princess. Our family must not be picked out by others. It's decent. It would be better to send her off in marriage."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, I have planned a long time ago, Yuan girl's dowry is also ready, here it is." The dowry of the young lady of the family is saved after birth, Yuan Chun is also the same, but it has only been saved for ten years , because she sent Yuanchun into the palace, she didn't prepare any more for her. Who would have thought that she would leave the palace, so she picked a lot of good things from the public storehouse as a dowry, and there was also a box of 5 taels of silver.

Jia Zheng said, "That's good."

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment, then said: "Brother Fu didn't listen to what he said that day, and my aunt wanted to go back. I thought that their house was not cleaned up, and Pan'er had no one to teach her to avoid trouble, so she stayed again."

Jia Zheng didn't think so, and said, "It should be so."

Mrs. Wang felt relieved, and said with a smile: "The third day of August is the old lady's birthday. Although it is not a whole life, all the things that should be prepared should be prepared. You can't forget it just because Yuan girl is out of the cabinet. There are many happy events in August. One pile after another, I'm afraid that there is not enough money in the house, I thought about pawning off the big guys of gold, silver, copper and tin that I don't need first, and then redeeming them when I have income next year, what does the master think? This year It’s not as good as one year, and the old man transported away so many, otherwise, the whole family will starve to death.”

When Jia Amnesty was mentioned, Jia Zheng immediately thought of what he said, and he had already become suspicious of Mrs. Wang, but when he asked carefully, Mrs. Wang cried and said that she had never done anything, and Jia She must have wronged her.Jia Zheng said: "When did the mansion get to this point? Wouldn't it be a joke to pawn things and spread the word?"

Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "I don't want people to laugh at us, but what if we don't have money? I prepared a birthday present for Princess Dongping, but the mansion didn't have any money, so I paid for it with two dowry jewelry. "

When Jia Zheng heard this, he felt guilty and rested in Mrs. Wang's room at night.

Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Zheng doubted her because of Jia Amnesty's words, and she was not angry, but she had no choice but to give up.Although she looked outstanding when she was young, she is about 50 years old, and she is not as young and pretty as Aunt Zhao, who is not yet thirty. Therefore, since that day, Jia Zheng has only rested in Aunt Zhao's room, and it seems to have turned around today. But Mrs. Wang is also happy.

Na Baoyu went back to Jia Mu and went to her bedroom. Seeing that Xiren was sewing under the light, with her head lowered to reveal her white neck, she looked even more feminine and pretty. Be careful and hurt your eyes." As he said, he stepped forward to take the needle and thread from Xi Ren's hand, but it was a big red bellyband made for him.

Xiren raised his head and rubbed his neck.

Qingwen pulled out the hairpin from her head and flicked the candles, then inserted her hands back into her temples. Seeing them like this, she immediately sneered for the rest of her life.

Baoyu Suxi Qingwen was born beautiful, and hurriedly called her sister with a smile. Suddenly, she remembered the fragrant dew that she had eaten that day, and asked Xiren, "good sister, is there any more fragrant dew? I like Qingwen's sandalwood, musk, moon and autumn patterns. It’s gone after just a few sips of Piansheng. If there is any, I’ll ask for another bottle, and everyone will try it.”

The attacker said angrily: "Where are there many? I took half a bottle that day when I didn't see it? It was the only thing left by the second girl. If you want to eat, go ask the old lady. I saw the light yellow note on the bottle. I think it is into something."

Baoyu sighed dejectedly, and said, "Such a good thing is only good for my second sister. Since it's gone, there's no need to talk about it."

Xi Ren said: "Why do you only remember the second sister? Don't you remember Sister Yun? Counting with your fingers, Miss Shi hasn't come for many days, and the fan cover I asked her to make has disappeared. Baoyu, tell the old lady tomorrow Let’s go and pick up Miss Shi, we won’t go home, and the historians don’t want to send Miss Shi to live here for a few days.”

Baoyu nodded and said, "I'll talk to my ancestors tomorrow."

Early the next morning, after hearing Baoyu's words, Jia's mother realized that she had not seen Xiangyun for a long time. Although Xiangyun was engaged, she had been with her since she was a child, and she missed her very much, so she ordered someone to pick her up.Those who didn't want to go came back and said that Mrs. Shi Nai took Xiangyun to Dongping Palace to celebrate his birthday and was not at home.

After hearing this, Jia Mu had no choice but to give up.

Dongping Palace held a banquet because of Princess Dongping's birthday, not only Mrs. Shi Nai went, but Mrs. Dou and Mrs. Wang also went.Everyone who has a daughter, such as Yingxi and Zhu Gaoming, from each family's royal family brought their daughters, and Mrs. Dou also brought Yingchun and Xichun, and Mrs. Duwang was alone.

Everyone saw that Yuanchun was old and was waiting to be married at home. Although Mrs. Wang had a concubine, she never saw her. On the contrary, Mrs. Dou was kind and often took Yingchun out for a walk.Seeing that there was another girl today, and smelling that it was the eldest girl of Ningguo Mansion who lived in Rongguo Mansion and had never been back to Ningguo Mansion, she nodded secretly in her heart, and also gave gifts.Although Rongguo Mansion is not very good, it is several times cleaner than Ningguo Mansion. They often go out to socialize, and they all know that it is fortunate that Xichun is raised in Rongguo Mansion.

Daiyu came with Jia Min, she was very happy to see Yingchun and Xichun, and she was even more happy to see Qingran and others.

Princess Dongping ordered her 12-year-old daughter, Anhe, to take them to the side hall to play, because they are all daughters who have not left the cabinet, and they all know each other, so she held Daiyu and whispered: "Last time you sent me I have used up all the Lanxiang ink, and I will get some more tomorrow, which is better than some of the ink I used."

Daiyu smiled and said, "I'll send someone to send it to my sister when I get back."

After hearing this, Qingran was very happy, because it was made of jade spring, and it was indeed top grade. Although Qingran is a layman, she is also proficient in calligraphy and painting, so she opened her mouth to Daiyu, and was about to speak again, when suddenly Mrs. Liu sent someone to call her In the past, when she saw Daiyu's narrow face, she couldn't help pinching her cheeks, and said, "Come back and settle accounts with you."

Daiyu rubbed her face, and when Qingran left, she saw Yingchun and Xichun bringing a red-shirted woman over, and after a closer look, it was Xiangyun who had met once at the Shijia.

I haven't seen him for a long time, only to see that Shi Xiangyun is about the same age as him, but his stature seems to be a little taller than him, with a colorful ribbon tied around his waist, which looks more and more like a bee waist and ape back, and a crane like a mantis. He hurriedly stood up and smiled. Asked: "Welcome sister, cherish sister, which sister is this? It's getting better and better, it seems like I haven't seen it before."

Yingchun immediately smiled, and said: "This is a girl from the historian of Baolinghou's residence. Her name is Xiangyun. I think you have heard of it before."

Daiyu also smiled, remembering what Jia Min said, Shi Nai's eldest brother died young, leaving only a daughter, who was a few months younger than herself, and her mother also died when she was still an infant, so Shi Nai and his wife raised her. Da, lived in the Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, and she is also Ye Ting's niece, but although Xiao Wang has a good relationship with Jia Min, she rarely mentions Xiangyun, and the relationship is not very close.When I met Xiangyun at the Shijia that day, it was the time when she was engaged, so she didn't get close.

When Xiangyun stopped the salute, Daiyu returned the salute and said, "I heard about my sister a long time ago. I saw you that day, and I have never forgotten it."

When Xiangyun lived in Rongguo Mansion, why didn't he hear of Daiyu?I have seen it before, but I was engaged for the first time at that time, and I didn't care to look closely. Now I see that her demeanor does not seem to be under Baochai, like a willow, like a beautiful flower, and has a whole body style, which is beyond the reach of others, so I can't help it. Ashamed of himself, he smiled and said: "I often hear my ancestors talk about my sister. I saw her at that time, but I didn't say a few words. Today, my wish has been fulfilled."

Daiyu's heart moved slightly, and it took him half a day to remember that the ancestor Xiangyun mentioned was referring to Jia's mother.

After they were all seated, Daiyu asked, "Why did I see Mrs. Shi several times, but my sister didn't go out? Today is actually the second time I saw you. Sister Xiangxue didn't come today?" Speaking of Shi Xiangxue, it was Shi Nai who lost his brother She was conceived after great merit, and was born when her father lost her father. Shi Nai and his wife were reluctant to give up the abortion, so they made a petition to the child, and they stayed. However, it was not honorable to be born during Shi Nai's filial piety.Because of this matter, Xiangxue became a little shy and didn't go out easily, and even if she did, she seldom went to other people's homes, so as not to be looked down upon by those people.

Xiangyun heard her mention Xiangxue, and said: "Second sister is not well, she might collide with her, so she didn't come."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "There is such a thing? Why didn't you say it earlier, let's go see her tomorrow."

Lin Ruhai and Shi Nai were both literate and martial, because they were relatives, and because of what Lin Ruhai had said before, the two families had a close relationship. When they heard that Xiangxue was not good, Daiyu was naturally very concerned.

Xiangyun said: "Since my sister said so, I'll go back and tell my second sister."

Yingchun said at the side: "My fourth sister and I will go too."

Xichun nodded. Although she treats people extremely coldly, she knows what is good or bad. Yingchun is dedicated to her. She knows it in her heart, and she also knows that Yingchun wants to take her outside more often. She also knows Xiangxue. Xiangxue is not good, so don't go see it But he is ruthless.

After hearing this, Xiangyun answered one by one.

Ever since she got engaged to General Wei's family and was detained to work at home, Xiangyun had to do the work entrusted by the attacker again. She often did the third watch and had no place to complain about her troubles. However, she also knew that her marriage was very good, so she treated There is no complaint here, in terms of rank, Yingchun is not as good as herself in marrying, not to mention Tanchun and Xichun, General Wei ranks third rank, Wei Ruolan is also the eldest son.

Daiyu saw Xiangyun's cheerful disposition, courteous speech and decent attire, she knew that Mrs. Shi Nai did not treat her harshly, but she respected Mrs. Shi Nai even more.

Not only Daiyu thinks so, but other people also think so.

All the concubines and wives in the front hall are not people with clear eyes and bright hearts, so they chatted happily with Mrs. Shi Nai, and asked about Xiangxue's age, and her niece was so flexible, let alone her own daughter.Xiangxue was two years younger, and Mrs. Shi Nai was not in a hurry to see her. What's more, when Shi Nai was granted the title of Marquis, Xiangxue was the daughter of Lord Marquis and had both parents, so it was easier to talk about marriage than Xiangyun.Although according to the rules, Xiangxue's husband's family should be lower than Xiangyun's, but in terms of fatherhood first, it is Xiangxue's husband's family that is higher than Xiangyun's.

Mrs. Shi Nai naturally wanted to find a good marriage for her daughter, but considering Xiangyun's temperament, if Xiangxue's husband's family was better than Xiangyun's, she might not know how to guess that she was uneasy and kind, leaving the good ones to her daughter, it would be harsh Niece, it's better to choose a civil servant's house for Xiangxue, because the rank is lower than that of General Wei, so even if others want to be picky, they can't be picky.

Mrs. Shi Nai secretly revealed her thoughts, and the others understood, and immediately thought about which son would be suitable.Although Xiangxue is called the second girl, she is Shi Nai's eldest daughter, and everyone knows it.

Only Shi Xiangyun took what he got for granted, and he always resented Mrs. Shi Nai for being too strict, so he didn't like it, so he couldn't express it, and he didn't dare to tell others.She knew Baoyu's temperament very well, so she didn't dare to say anything. Although Xiren was friendly with her, she was a girl, but Baochai was the one who liked her the most.

Thinking of Baoyu's grievances because of Daiyu, Xiangyun felt deeply dissatisfied with him, and said to Daiyu: "The third day of August is my ancestor's birthday, can my sister's birthday gift be prepared? Wait until that day, we will be at the ancestor's house We can still meet!"

Hearing this, Daiyu paled.Although Jiamu treated her as usual and gave her a lot of things, she did not forget Baoyu's actions that day. She forgave Baoyu and knew that he made a mistake unintentionally, but Baoyu cursed his parents after all, so she didn't want to see him again. In order not to reinvent right and wrong for no reason, I had long planned to excuse my illness and said with a smile: "Of course, the birthday gift has been prepared long ago. What can our girl's family give? It's just a needle and thread made by myself."

Xiangyun clapped his hands and said: "Very good, I also embroidered a purse for the old ancestor, and then we will pay respects to the old ancestor together."

Daiyu said noncommittally: "There is still one month left, let's talk about it then."

Xiangyun looked at her face, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't you still hate the second brother? The second brother has such a temper, and he beat the child like this, it is not intentional. I know the second brother's words are inappropriate, but the second brother has already suffered. If you punish me, my sister will forgive my second brother, if the trouble continues, it will be my sister's fault."

Daiyu said: "I have long forgotten about the passage of time. Why did my sister say that today? I don't understand!"

Seeing her like this, Xiangyun immediately felt that she was too narrow-minded, not as kind as Baochai. Baoyu had no intentions, but after being exaggerated by their family, it became a big mistake. Enter.Shi Xiangyun is also a smart woman, how can she not understand what Daiyu said, which means that she doesn't want to go to Rongguo Mansion to pay respects to Jia Mu's birthday.

Yingchun frowned, and reproached softly: "Sister Yun should not ask about Baoyu's matter. It's already a thing of the past, but what my sister said reminds me, why bother?"

Xiangyun is always afraid of welcoming the spring, don't look at her being gentle and gentle on weekdays, under Mrs. Dou's teaching, she has her own hills and valleys in her chest. Said: "Second elder brother is innocent. I have suffered so much. I just complained about injustice. Second elder sister, as an elder sister, why is she turning to others instead?"

Xiangyun and Baoyu grew up together since they were young, and they have the deepest bond of affection, but this is the second time they have met Daiyu, so she naturally knows which is more important.Although Xiangyun never went out at home, the Jia family always thought of herself, sent people to bring fruit and snacks, and stayed to talk, so she knew what happened to the Jia family.

Yingchun said: "I don't understand what you said. If you are innocent, how can you suffer? What's the fun of talking about it now? What did the aunt's family do? Didn't even touch Baoyu's finger. Besides, who is Someone else? Who is an outsider? Sister Lin is the daughter of my aunt's direct relationship, and the granddaughter of my ancestor's direct relationship, so it is neither someone else nor an outsider."

Xiang Yun sneered: "Could it be that because their family helped my sister's family, my sister turned to sister Lin?"

When Yingchun heard this, she was trembling with anger.

Daiyu was a little dazed, she didn't expect Xiangyun to have such a temper, to talk about these things when he was a guest at someone else's house, just because Baoyu had suffered because of himself?But whose daughter's parents have been cursed, and they still don't care about the past?What's more, she really didn't bear any grudges against Baoyu, and she knew that this person had no intention of doing it. If she had, she would have ordered someone to beat her up quietly. Just be beaten by Jia Zheng.

Qingran came back from the front hall, she did not come to Beijing sooner than Daiyu, so she was the most understanding of people, saw Shi Xiangyun, heard this, and snorted, she was well informed, naturally knew that Jiamu had proposed marriage to Mrs Shi Nai Therefore, the historian hastily made an engagement with the Wei family, fearing that Shi Xiangyun's reputation would be ruined, but Shi Xiangyun was born but didn't know it.Suddenly seeing a person approaching, Qing Ran said with a smile: "Ms. Shi, don't try to fight for others. Your sister-in-law is here, so hurry up and see her, so you can have a good time."

Shi Xiangyun suddenly came back to his senses, and when he saw Wei Ruomei, he blushed immediately.

General Wei's family and Shi's family often visit each other, and they are also subordinates of Bowling Marquis Shi Nai. When the family members meet, Mrs. Shi Nai also brings Xiangyun to socialize. Xiangyun has met General Wei's wife and Wei Ruolan's sister.She didn't think much at first, but now that she was engaged, seeing Wei Ruomei again, she felt a little uncomfortable and hurriedly stood up.

Because Daiyu and Xiangyun were not together, and had only been in the capital for a few months, she didn't know Xiangyun's nature. Kuang Xiangyun knew the world before, and was afraid of Lin Ruhai's identity and Daiyu's future husband's family, so she didn't dare to offend Daiyu. Knowing otherwise, Daiyu was annoyed just now, but thinking that Xiangyun had no parents since she was a child, and she was a girl from a relative's family, Daiyu didn't care about her like that, heard what Qingran said, got up and took her arm and said: " Elder sister is too narrow, don't embarrass younger sister Shi so much that she has nowhere to hide."

He smiled and said to Wei Ruomei: "Sister Wei, why are you here so late today?"

Civil and martial arts are different, Wei Ruomei is not in the handkerchief that Daiyu Suri made friends with, not even Yingchun, but Yingchun and Xichun are sisters of relatives, but they are closer, so they only know Wei Ruomei, but not familiar.However, Princess Dongping advocates frugality and doesn't want to live a whole life, so she only held a banquet for two days, so they all came.

Wei Ruomei is the same age as Xichun, but they are very smart. She greeted everyone with a smile, and Fang replied: "The carriage on the road broke the shaft, that's why it was delayed. I have already apologized to the princess with my mother."

Daiyu hurriedly said, "But it's broken? Don't bump into it."

Wei Ruomei could hear the concern in her tone, her heart warmed up, and she said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, although the shaft broke suddenly, luckily the car was not going fast, and my mother was blocking me, so I only hit my elbow. Sharp."

Princess Anhe has got the news, ordered someone to fetch the medicine, walked over to Wei Ruomei and said, "I think you didn't bring any medicine with you when you came, so follow me to apply the medicine, and ask someone to rub the bruise away, so that you Hurry up." Said, and confessed to everyone, Fang took Wei Ruomei to change clothes and retire to the retreat, tidy up and come back.

At that time, the side hall was busy, and when I asked Daiyu where the hairpin in her bun was made, she felt that it was flawless and beautiful.

Qing Ran smiled and said, "Ask her? You might as well ask Mr. Yu!"

Although they are all daughters of the boudoir, the conversations and jokes in the boudoir are very orderly, and they often joke with each other when the elders are not around, not to mention that most of them are twelve or thirteen years old and older, and those who are not engaged are not young. Hearing Liu Qingran's words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "So that's how it is!"

Daiyu couldn't help blushing, and said: "Listen to her nonsense, and you guys actually take it seriously!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Liu Qingran and said, "Don't laugh at me, you'll be there tomorrow!"

Princess Anhe laughed and said, "Sister Qingran is here to laugh at others again, carefully, sister Lin will also laugh at you tomorrow."

Because of Daiyu's concern earlier, Wei Ruomei also saw that although she was the daughter of a first-rank official, her words were gentle, so she changed the topic, pointed to the palace sash tied around Daiyu's waist, and said: "Sister Lin, this sash is a big one. Alright, let me see how to fight?"

Daiyu nodded with a smile, and the two of them got together to chat.

After a while, when they heard that the banquet was open, they got up with Princess Anhe, changed their clothes after the banquet, and came back
