After the Gu of the Red Chamber

For the women of aristocratic families, the flower viewing party and poetry meeting have always been the time for the ladies of each family to socialize, and it is also the time when the daughters of each family can best make a name for themselves.

Even though Daiyu was still young, and it was just a gathering of relatives, Jia Min still solemnly and solemnly dressed her daughter up.

Wearing a newly made water-green jacket, paired with a turquoise Confucian skirt, a pair of apple-green emerald flower hairpins are simply inserted on the double-snail bun, which is indescribably refreshing, and there is only a blood-red butterfly brooch on the chest Added a bright color to Daiyu.

In this autumn season of the tiger, it is eye-catching at first glance. Although it is not considered luxurious, the vague aura of nobility is also in line with the identity of the Lin family's scholarly family.

Not only Daiyu dressed up, but also Yingchun and Xichun.

Qin Keqing really likes little aunt Xichun, she has a lot of good things in her hands, and Ningguo Mansion is richer than Rongguo Mansion, so naturally there is no shortage of money to raise children.

Xichun was wearing fresh light yellow clothes, and she was wearing rare topaz jewelry. A circle of topaz bead chains was wrapped around the simple flat bun, emitting a soft jade light, which complemented Xichun's small face even more. Round and cute, in an instant, even Daiyu wanted to betray brother す, and stretched out her hand to cut off Xichun's round and cute face.

Even the little Xichun was dressed up delicately and cutely by Qin Keqing, not to mention Yingchun who returned to Jia She's side.

Ever since Yingchun came back to support Jia She, although Jia She is stingy, she really dotes on her only daughter to the extreme, sending all good things straight to Yingchun's room, not just beating up all the jewellery, Even the clothes were all redone.

In addition to material supplies, Jia Amnesty also followed the old friend's path and hired a nanny from the palace for Yingchun to educate Yingchun carefully. Although he is not smart, he is somewhat self-aware. Since she couldn't raise any delicate little girl by herself, she simply sought foreign help.

Jia Amnesty was willing to spend money, and the nuns in the palace carefully raised her, so Yingchun now is completely different from the past.

In the past, Yingchun was just a dispensable concubine in the entire Rongguo Mansion, and the clothes she was given were also the worst and most common official materials, but slightly better than maidservants, and the colors of the fabrics were all out of season. .

Although there should be eight pieces of clothing in a season for Yingchun as a rule, but every time Wang Momo takes one or two pieces home privately.The fabrics of this era are really unwashed, and once they have passed through the water, the color will not be bright immediately. Even if you meet guests, you can only wear some old and new clothes, which are really inconspicuous in the three springs.

But now Yingchun is wearing a bright red satin skirt and jacket, she is also wearing a red gold flower hairpin inlaid with precious stones, and she even wears a red gold necklace inlaid with precious stones around her neck, giving her a sense of wealth, but fortunately Yingchun is young and has a good appearance. In addition, after being trained by the nuns in the palace, she also has the bearing of a noble lady, so that she can hold back the colorful clothes and jewelry.

In contrast, Tanchun is still wearing the begonia red dress when he first met Daiyu, with a red gold necklace around his neck. Although the clothes are not old, the red gold necklace is also brilliant, but compared with Yingchun and Xichun, It was immediately set off.

Tanchun bit her lower lip, secretly a little unwilling, she dare not compare with Daiyu, after all, Daiyu is the daughter of the Lin family, her status is much higher than them, but she never expected that after Yingchun and Xichun returned home , on the contrary, it is much better than her life.

In the past, although Xichun was a direct descendant, after all, she was raised in the Rongguo Mansion, and Mother Jia treated her indifferently, and she was as delicate as she is now; let alone Yingchun, among the three, Yingchun is definitely the youngest. The little transparent in the transparent, the most unfavored is her, as for now...

Who else dares to say that Yingchun is not favored? I heard that Yingchun is so favored that even Jia Lian has some criticisms, which shows the status of Yingchun in Jia She's mind.

Tanchun was unwilling, but also a little envious. She didn't know that the old lady didn't care about her, and it was far less important than Baoyu. Not to mention anything else, just the poisonous cheese incident last time made her understand. How humble she is in the heart of the old lady.

Thinking that both Xichun and Yingchun had returned to their own parents, they began to get better. Thinking about what Aunt Zhao had told her privately, Tanchun was also a little moved. If she returned to Aunt Zhao Feeding, I think it will be several times better than now, right?

Her father is stronger than Yingchun's father, her aunt is still there, and she is even better than Yingchun, if she returns to her own father and aunt...

Tanchun's heart moved, and he wanted to go back to Aunt Zhao to support her.

After all, Tanchun was young, and she only knew one thing about many things, but she didn't know the other thing, but she didn't know that her decision made her and Yingchun and Xichun drift further and further apart.

Women are different from men. As a concubine, Tanchun is inferior to others. Marriage is inherently difficult. The so-called living and moving, raising and moving the body, is supported by Jiamu, the super-class lady of the country. One point and two points are enough for her to use for a lifetime.

Furthermore, she was raised by the majestic Mrs. Chaopin Guogong, and her status can be raised a little bit. In the future, it will be easier to talk about marriage. If it wasn't for this idea, with Aunt Zhao's temperament, what would happen back then? Jia Zheng will let Tanchun be brought up by Jia's mother.

If you go back to Aunt Zhao, not to mention that Aunt Zhao is vulgar and rude, her temperament is really not good, and moreover, a concubine who is supported by her aunt is absolutely no better than one who is supported by Mrs. Chaopin Concubine.

In contrast, one of Yingchun and Xichun was directly taken care of by a dignified third-class general, surrounded by nuns who came out of the palace, and the other was raised by the head wife of the Ningguo Mansion who was suspected to be the illegitimate daughter of the prince. Although not as good as Jia's mother, it is not far behind, but no matter how flattering Aunt Zhao is, she can't match Mrs. Chaopin in the Duke's Mansion.

It was also when Aunt Zhao saw that Mrs. Wang was imprisoned in the family temple to kneel scriptures, and she didn't know when she would come out. Jia Zheng doted on her again, and the whole second room was handed over to her. If she becomes Jia Zheng's second wife, then she is also eligible to raise Tanchun.

Not to mention that Tanchun moved his mind to return to his biological mother; on the other hand, even in the name of a family banquet for the children to get together, Qin Keqing graciously invited her own brother over.

Tu Lei hadn't seen Daiyu for a long time, and when he saw Daiyu who was so delicately dressed, Tu Lei's eyes lit up immediately, if it wasn't for the fact that there were so many people around him, he would have said good things a long time ago, as if he didn't want money, after all, in Daiyu's After years of training, Tu Lei's desire to survive is not ordinary.

Seeing Tu Lei like a mouse catching a tortoise, intending to please Daiyu but not knowing how to do it, Qin Keqing was secretly amused, and raised a little more importance to Daiyu, the future sister-in-law, because of Tu Lei's love for Daiyu, The future of this little girl is definitely not bad.

Qin Keqing was also quite curious about Daiyu, the future sister-in-law, and deliberately pulled Daiyu to talk carefully, but threw Baoyu aside.

Baoyu was really frightened by Daiyu, and when he saw Daiyu again, he felt uncomfortable. Seeing that Qin Jun not only had a good life, but also spoke with Daiyu with a calm expression, he secretly admired her.

Although he was afraid of Daiyu's existence, he was still more curious after all, so he leaned forward immediately, wanting to talk to Tu Lei.

Tu Lei raised his eyebrows slightly, and bluntly said a word: "Get lost!"

He's not interested in guys trying to poach him.

Seeing the hurt look on Baoyu's face, Qin Keqing laughed secretly, and couldn't help but pat Tu Lei, "Why are you talking to Uncle Bao like this?"

Tu Lei snorted arrogantly, his nickname of "Big Vinegar" is not for nothing.

Tu Lei's status is unusual, he doesn't want to play with Baoyu, who dares to force him to play with Baoyu, even Jia's mother would not dare to do such a thing, let alone others.

Tu Lei graciously helped to peel the crabs. Although the target was on Baoyu and the banquet was just a name, Qin Keqing also carefully arranged it, and it was really impeccable.

Autumn is cool and crisp, which is a good time to eat crabs. Qin Keqing didn't know that the crabs that had been prepared by someone were all five or six heavy, which was really not small.

Crabs are good, and Ningguo Mansion doesn't need any fancy cooking methods, just wash them clean and steam them in a cage, then dip them in chrysanthemum honey and ginger vinegar, it's very delicious.

Because Daiyu and the others were young and didn't like wine, the servants at the side still brought warm ginger tea, Qin Keqing's intentions can be seen everywhere.

Daiyu loves to eat crabs, but in her previous life she grew up in the north, and later married in Beijing, so she seldom eats crabs. Although Xiao Daiyu grew up in the south, but because her body is weaker than ordinary people, she is more likely to eat crabs. Not daring to eat cold food like crabs, but once in a while, Tu Lei also knew that Daiyu was not good at it, so he peeled off one kindly, and even poured chrysanthemum honey and ginger vinegar on it and handed it to Daiyu. .

Daiyu was also really blunt, and started to eat directly, watching Wang Momo's eyes twitching, not to mention the cold nature of the crab, the girl's house is not good to eat, moreover, Mr. Qin is ignorant, and the girl is ignorant anyway. , I really took it and ate it, and it was really...

Wang Momo sighed slightly, and silently remembered that although the Qin family has a grandma Rong, but a sixth-rank official like Qin Ye can be easily caught in Beijing, not to mention that Qin Jun is just a small official. The children of the Qinye family are not their own children, so they are really not good enough for their girl. Fortunately, the girl is still young, so go back and tell your wife, and let the girl stay away from now on.

Yingchun and the others are young, crabs are delicious, but they are too troublesome, plus the crabs are cold in nature, Mammy just let them taste it, Qin Keqing also asked people to prepare all kinds of delicate snacks, whether it is pattern or The taste is what the children like, and the children are having a good time eating and drinking.

Among a group of happy children, Baoyu became more and more unhappy.

Baoyu looked to the left, Qin Keqing, Daiyu, and the brother of the Qin family were on one side. They were whispering, but others couldn't get in at all.

On the other side, Xichun pulled Tanchun and Yingchun to talk about the girls. The three girls used to get along with each other every day, but suddenly they disappeared for a long time, and since then they have divided things. Naturally, they have endless things to say. .

Several people chatted happily, but Baoyu was the only one who was left behind. Jia Baoyu, who had always been the center of Rongguo Mansion, suddenly felt sour, and didn't know his courage.

This was exactly what Tu Lei and the others wanted, and before Qin Keqing had someone serve ginger tea mixed with medicine, Baoyu said that he wanted to sleep.

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Uncle Bao wants to rest, why not take a nap in Tianxiang Building."

Just as Jia Baoyu was about to say that he wanted to go back home, Daiyu gave him a half-smile look, "Baoyu is leaving?"

Jia Baoyu immediately stood at attention, "No! No!"

Wuwuwu, it was so scary, he felt that as long as he dared to say the three words of going home, he would be killed in the next moment.

For a moment, Tu Lei couldn't help sending a understanding look, what a familiar taste, what a familiar formula, Baoyu's psychological shadow area is only understood by him.

Although Qin Keqing didn't know the reason, but according to the original plan, she personally sent the precious jade to Tianxiang Tower. Tianxiang Tower happened to be in Huifang Garden of Ningguo Mansion, and it was the most exquisite.

Jia Zhen regards Tianxiang Building as his place of pleasure, and usually rests in Tianxiang Building, because of the luxurious furnishings in Tianxiang Building, it can be said to be second to none in the whole Ningguo Mansion, even the Holy One can live there, let alone It's just to let little Baoyu rest.

Jia Zhen has always been a pleasure to enjoy, because of the extravagant atmosphere in Tianxiang Tower, the burning of the finest Suhe incense, the hanging of silver-red moiré organdy, and the waiters inside and out are even more beautiful. Maid, as soon as Jia Baoyu walked into the Tianxiang Building, he couldn't take his eyes off immediately, and said with a smile, "This place is good."

Qin Keqing smiled and took Baoyu to bed with her servant girl. Xiren originally wanted to stay in the room to serve her, but she was also pulled away by the little girl with a smile.

The little maid smiled and said, "Baoyu is sleeping well in Tianxiang Tower. Who can disturb him, why not go with us and relax!" Grandma Rong said, a few young masters can't eat much crabs, and the rest All of them are given to us, if we go late, I am afraid they will be snatched up."

As soon as the little maid said, Xiren was also moved. Seeing that Baoyu was also guarded by the old lady from Ningguo Mansion, she couldn't help but follow the little maid to grab crabs. It was really embarrassing to fall into the latrine because of diarrhea, and even legs were weak because of diarrhea. Fortunately, the clever little maid took Xiren down to freshen up without mentioning it.

Leaving aside the incident of attacking people, Jia Baoyu was only angry for a while and said he wanted to rest, but he really fell asleep while lying down, when he was in a daze, he was suddenly frightened by a miserable scream. Awake.

He saw an old woman with a broken face and white hair suddenly rushing up to him, screaming, "Baoyu! Why are you here!"
