The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Mrs. Xing Wang in Jia Mu's room was talking with the four women. Although the four women were not silk and satin, they all looked calm and capable. The leader was Madam Xu who was next to Concubine Beijing.Mother Xu smiled and said, "The concubine has been thinking about Miss Lin since she returned to the mansion the day before yesterday, and she sent us to pick her up early this morning, to cause trouble for the old lady."

Jia's mother hurriedly said: "It's our blessing that the concubine likes Yu'er, but I dare not say trouble." Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "As for the eldest girl, she is indeed talented and beautiful, well-behaved and sensible. dear boy."

Mother Xu smiled and said: "Although I haven't seen Miss Lin, the people who came with the concubine the last time said that the concubine has adopted a daughter who looks like a fairy. Today, the concubine sent someone to pick up Miss Lin. The slaves volunteered to come over."

Seeing that everyone praised Daiyu, Mrs. Wang was not angry, so she said: "The eldest girl is naturally a beautiful woman, but all the girls in our family are very beautiful, especially the concubine Yuan in the palace. Although the eldest girl is beautiful, she is too beautiful. Weak."

Mother Jia was angry when she heard Mrs. Wang say this, and secretly scolded Mrs. Wang for her lack of eyesight and calculation, and hurriedly said: "Little girl Yu'er's family is just a bit delicate, so she is not weak."

Mother Xu hurriedly said: "The old lady is right. It is better for the daughter's family to be soft and weak, which is the duty of the daughter's family."

Several people were talking when they heard the little girl outside say: "Miss Lin is here."

Mother Xu and the others hurriedly got up and looked towards the door. Mrs. Xing Wang didn't dare to sit any longer when she saw the four mothers got up, so she hurriedly stood up too.Then I saw the little girl open the curtain, and a graceful girl walked in.

She was wearing a light yellow emerald green smoked sweater, a pearl white pleated skirt, and a plain satin ribbon around her waist, which accentuated her graceful figure.If the shoulders are shaved into a waist, the waist will be plain, and if the muscles are fat, the air will be blue.The simple peach-heart bun on the head is only inserted with a white jade butterfly hairpin, and a strand of blue silk is dotted with pearls hanging on the chest.Looking closely at the description, the eyebrows frown at the spring mountains, and the eyes frown at the autumn waters. It is unparalleled in beauty, as if a fairy from the sky came to the world.Only the four of them were stunned.

Daiyu took Zijuan Xueyan to Jiamu's room, but she saw Mrs. Jiamu Xingwang was there, so Daiyu greeted Mrs. Jiamu Xingwang, and Jiamu hurriedly said, "Get up, Yuer. Then he smiled at the four stunned nuns beside him: "This is my granddaughter, Yu'er, these nuns were sent by Princess Bei Jing to pick you up."

Daiyu bowed to the four of them, and the four of them came to their senses and hurriedly said: "I dare not be a girl's gift, the concubine said that from now on, the girl will be the eldest girl in our house and the master of the slaves. It's so beautiful, I was stupefied just now, and I asked the girl to make amends." She saluted Daiyu again.

Daiyu hurriedly said, "Please get up, Mammy, I'm going to kill Yu'er." The four got up.Mother Jia looked at the attitude of the four nuns of the palace towards Daiyu, and thought to herself: I think the Dowager Beijing really likes Yu'er, so that's fine. The more the dowager empress likes Yu'er, the better it will be for the Jia family.Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "Yu'er has always been the most sensible. When you go to the palace, you must listen to the concubine's words." Daiyu smiled and agreed, and Madam Xu said: "Old lady, this servant will take the girl back to the mansion. , Empress Dowager is still waiting."

Mother Jia hurriedly said, "Go quickly." Daiyu took the Zijuan Xueyan and followed the four mothers into the sedan chair, changed into a Qibaoxiang car at the door, and went all the way to the Beijing Palace.

Daiyu sat in the car, Zijuan Xueyan sat beside her, Xueyan laughed and said, "Miss, you haven't left the mansion for a long time." Daiyu laughed and said, "I only went to the temple once the year before last, and never came out again. " Xueyan laughed and said, "It's good that the girl is no longer in the mansion." Daiyu smiled and said, "You want to go out of the mansion to play." Xueyan pretended to be angry and said, "Everyone is for the girl, the girl And talk about others." Zijuan said with a smile: "I think what the girl said is quite right." Xueyan couldn't hold it anymore, and also laughed.The three of them were chatting and laughing, and felt the carriage stopped, and the three of them also stopped talking, and heard one say: "But Miss Lin is here?" Mother Xu smiled and said, "That's right, hurry up and open the door to welcome you." The man hurriedly ordered the door to be opened, and the carriage went straight into the gate, and did not stop until the second gate.

Mother Xu smiled and said, "Girl, we're here, get out of the car, girl."

Zijuan and Xueyan hurriedly got out of the car and helped Daiyu down, and Mother Xu smiled and said, "The concubine is waiting in the yard." Zijuan hurriedly supported Daiyu, Xueyan was holding a box, the master and servant Surrounded by the four of them, Madam Xu entered the yard.

The news of Daiyu's arrival had already spread to the concubine. As soon as Daiyu entered the yard, a maid came out to welcome her, and said with a smile, "Miss is here, and the empress has been talking about it all morning." Daiyu knew it must be the concubine. The big maid beside the empress hurriedly followed her into the house.Concubine Bei Jing was waiting in the room, when she saw Daiyu coming in, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Good boy, you are here."

Daiyu hurriedly saluted the concubine and said, "Yu'er has seen her stepmother." Zijuan Xueyan knelt down and kowtowed to the concubine, and Concubine Beijing hurriedly helped Daiyu up, and said with a smile: "Don't call your stepmother. I want to call you mother concubine or mother mother." Daiyu felt the warmth of the concubine's palm, her heart warmed up, and she blurted out the word "mother kiss", so happy that the concubine said, "Good jade." Then she turned to Madam Xu Said: "Yan'er, I also have a daughter."

It turned out that Madam Xu was the concubine's dowry maid. She had been with the concubine since she was a child. When she heard the concubine call her that, she knew that the concubine was very happy. The girl is looking forward to it."

The concubine smiled and said, "Yu'er, sit down quickly. You and your mother really look alike." Daiyu said in surprise, "Mother concubine knows my mother?" The concubine smiled and said, "I, Min'er and Shiyun My cousin used to play together, and later I married my cousin Shiyun, the crown prince, to His Highness the crown prince, who is now the emperor, and Min'er even married far away in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is rare. When you were young, the crown prince and I went to Lin's mansion to see You, you were just one year old at that time, and you met my relatives, which made your mother jealous. At that time, I said that I would adopt you as my daughter. Later, Rong'er fell ill, and the Taiwang and I hurried back to Beijing, so we put the matter aside , Now you are my daughter after all, it’s only 14 years late.”

It turns out that Concubine Beijing's surname is Xie Wanning, and she is the only daughter and only daughter of Xie's family, Marquis of Anding. Xie Wanning's aunt married into the Wang family and is the mother of Prime Minister Wang, and the current queen Wang Shiyun is Xie Wanning's cousin. .Coincidentally, the Wang family has only one daughter, and the Xie family and the Wang family have always been friends, and the two girls often stay together. Later, they met Jia Min, and the three of them felt that they had hit each other and became sisters in private. Jia Min was the youngest, and Wang Shiyun was the oldest.The three of them grew up slowly and became the three golden flowers in the capital, and there were countless people who wanted to marry them. Wang Shiyun was given a marriage by the emperor to marry the prince and became the prince concubine. A year later, Xie Wanning also married the prince's younger brother.Jia Min married Lin Ruhai and went to Jiangnan.It's just that although it is difficult for the three sisters to meet each other, they keep writing letters, and the sisterhood has never diminished.

Daiyu said: "You are Aunt Wan, aren't you?" Princess Beijing said in shock: "Good Yuer, do you still remember?" Daiyu smiled and said: "Mother told Yuer, she said Yuer At that time, I lost my mother and concubine and cried several times, and later every time mother and concubine wrote letters, mother would tell Yuer about it, but after mother left, Yuer came to the capital, and gradually forgot about Aunt Wan."

When Daiyu talked about Jia Min, the circles of her eyes turned red. The concubine looked at Daiyu and loved her even more. She hurriedly hugged her in her arms and said softly, "Good boy, there will be concubine mother who loves you in the future. Concubine mother has long wanted to go to Rongrong." The Guofu picked you up, but before your father left, he wrote a letter to the concubine mother not to let the concubine see you before you and Ji, for fear that the people in Jia's mansion would plot against you, so the concubine mother went to Rongfu that day just to see you, just to see you You can no longer bear to recognize you as a woman."

Daiyu nestled in the concubine's arms, as if snuggled into her mother's arms when she was a child, and smiled lightly: "No wonder Yu'er feels kind when seeing mother, ah, yes mother, Yu'er brought you a gift." He smiled lightly and said, "Good boy, you are a gift from heaven to Mother." Xueyan heard Daiyu's words, and hurriedly brought up the gold-painted wooden box. Mammy Xu took it and took it out to unfold with Xueyan. The concubine saw it With a glance, she said in surprise: "Good Yu'er, did you embroider this?" Daiyu smiled and said, "This was embroidered by Yu'er before, does my mother like it?" The concubine smiled and said, "Yu'er is as dexterous as your mother. I think this embroidery method was taught by your mother."

Daiyu said: "It is indeed taught by my mother, do you still remember?"

The concubine said: "Of course I remember that Min'er often made clothes for me and sister Yun. My sister and I were so beautiful that we couldn't bear to wear them. This pine and crane embroidery is really good."

The maidservant who welcomed Daiyu in just now said: "Your Majesty, this is obviously a picture of red plum blossoms as a gift, and the plum blossoms are so carefully repaired that they look real."

The concubine hurriedly said: "Turn around and let me have a look." Madam Xu Xueyan hurriedly turned the embroidery around, but saw several red plums embroidered, the branches were strong, and the plum blossoms were either blooming or budding, and the blossoms were lifelike. , and a magpie shuttles between the branches.The concubine smiled and said, "What a picture of plum blossoms giving happiness. Yu'er is double-sided embroidery. Yu'er is more dexterous than Sister Min."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Mother likes it, as long as she likes it." The concubine said hurriedly, "Of course I like it, Yan'er, you will soon find someone to frame it and put it in my room." Mammy Xu agreed to collect the embroidery and went down.

The concubine said again: "Yu'er, are these two your maids?" Daiyu smiled and said, "Yes, this is sister Zijuan, and this is Xueyan. Sister Zijuan was given by her grandmother, and Xueyan was born as a child. With me, they are all like Yu'er's relatives."

Zijuan Xueyan hurriedly greeted the concubine again. The concubine saw that one of the two maidservants was gentle and calm and the other was lively and clever, but they were both advancing and retreating in the right way, and they couldn't hide their concern for Daiyu, so she smiled and said: "Yu Yu Saying so, I think these two girls are very good. It seems that mother will reward these two girls well. Rushuang quickly bring the two bracelets I got the day before yesterday."

Zijuan hurriedly said: "Go back to your mother, it is Zijuan's duty to serve girls. Zijuan dare not ask for rewards." Xueyan also said, "Snowyan dare not ask for rewards." , naturally should be rewarded."

Zijuan hurriedly said: "The girl treats us like sisters on weekdays, and she is very kind to us. In this life, I only wish to be with the girl, and dare not ask for rewards."

Seeing this, Daiyu hurriedly said: "Mother, Sister Zijuan is very sincere. If she says she doesn't want it, don't reward her." As for the reward, that’s all, if you don’t want it, I’ll keep it for myself.”
