The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Several people chatted for a while, and then heard the little girl outside say: "Greetings to the prince." Daiyu knew that it was the King of Jingjing who came, so she stood up quickly, and the concubine hurriedly pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile: " Yu'er don't pay attention to him." Daiyu was at a loss when she saw the curtain opened and a man walked in wearing a prince's python robe. Li, just didn't know how to deal with herself, so she heard the empress dowager say: "Rong'er, this is the child of your Aunt Min's family, Lin Daiyu, the girl who used to visit Yan Yushi's family."

Shui Rong had seen a fairy-like girl sitting beside the concubine for a long time, and had guessed that this was the adopted daughter that the concubine mother talked about every day, so she hurriedly laughed and said, "This is sister Yu'er, she really is a jade-like person, no wonder the concubine likes it." .”

Daiyu got up hurriedly: "Daiyu has met the prince." Shui Rong hurriedly helped her up, and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't need to be polite."

The concubine smiled and said, "Yu'er, you can just call her brother Rong, what kind of prince should you call her, she won't be born." Daiyu then looked up at Shui Rong, a smile bloomed on her face, and said softly: "Sister I met Brother Rong."

Shui Rongyuan didn't see Daiyu's appearance, but felt that this younger sister had a light body and a voice like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, which was very pleasant.Now when I heard Daiyu softly calling Brother Rong, something suddenly flashed in my mind, my heart moved, I quickly looked up at Daiyu, but I felt that we had known each other for a long time, the smiling Daiyu was like a fairy in the sky, with a gentle and pure spirit.Shui Rong tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember.

When Daiyu saw Shui Rong, she also felt as if she had seen her before, as if she was a relative in the first place.The concubine at the side was stunned seeing Shui Rong, and hurriedly said: "Rong'er, your sister is going to salute you." Shui Rong came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Sister, please be polite, from now on, just treat this Beifu as your home."

Daiyu agreed, and the concubine said: "Yu'er, go to the rest meeting first, and mother will call you to eat after lunch. Rushuang will take Yu'er to Lanxin Garden." Rushuang smiled and agreed, Daiyu was really tired, so she went with Rushuang.

While walking, Rushuang told Daiyu about the layout of the Beijing Palace. It turns out that the palace is divided into two courtyards, the front courtyard is naturally the place to receive visitors, and the back yard has four large gardens, notably Aomei Garden, Lanxin Garden, Bamboo Garden and Chrysanthemum Garden.Aomei Garden is the residence of King Beijing Shui Rong, and it is the largest place in the palace. Lanxin Garden is the most beautiful place, it was prepared by the old prince for the princess, but the princess has only the prince and one child, and Lanxin Garden is also the most beautiful place. It was useless, until the day before yesterday when she came back from Jia's mansion, the empress dowager ordered the Lanxin Garden to be cleaned up, and all the things used were replaced with the latest and best.The courtyard where the concubine lives is the Chrysanthemum Garden, while the Green Bamboo Garden has always been empty.In addition to these four large gardens, there are more than a dozen pavilions and pavilions, and there is also a lake in the garden. In summer, lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is very beautiful.

Just as she was talking about Lanxinyuan, Daiyu raised her head and saw the three big characters of Lanxinyuan. The atmosphere was beautiful but she was a little immature. When Ruyan saw Daiyu looking at the plaque, she smiled and said: "This plaque was written by the prince. Back then The old prince and the concubine personally designed the garden, and the prince said that he wanted to name the garden. At that time, the prince was just seven years old, and the old prince agreed when he saw that the writing was good."

Daiyu nodded with a smile, and followed Rushuang into the garden, only to see more than a dozen maidservants knelt down and said: "My servant pays my respects."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Please get up quickly." When everyone stood up, Rushuang smiled and said: "This is the empress dowager sent to serve the girl. These two maids were specially chosen by the empress dowager."

Speaking of which, two servant girls came out and greeted Daiyu again, saying that Ruyanruxue had seen the girl.Rushuang said with a smile: "Ruyan understands medicine, and Ruxue understands martial arts. From now on, the two of them will be girls."

Daiyu was moved in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's a gift from the elders, I dare not say goodbye, Daiyu will go to thank my mother and concubine later."

Rushuang led Daiyu to continue walking in, Ruyan Ruxue followed Daiyu, and the rest dispersed. Turning around to Zhaobi, Daiyu suddenly saw a bright light: a small pond in the courtyard, the water was crystal clear, and there were a few small tails. Fish swim in the water, on the right is a flower stand of wisteria flowers, behind the flower stand is a greenhouse.On the other side is a swing, and further inside is a piece of bluegrass. There are various varieties, but they are not planted in a single way, but planted according to the terrain, or by the water, or on the rockery, or by the stone. Siege various shapes, such as rainbows or butterflies.

Rushuang smiled and said: "There are more than 100 varieties of orchids here. It's cold today, and the orchids outside have already bloomed, but there are still many orchids in bloom in the greenhouse."

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's so beautiful here." Going forward, she came to the main room. Rushuang smiled and said, "There are four rooms here, one for the living room, one for the girl's bedroom, and one for the study room and one for the piano. There is another room that girls can arrange by themselves. The side rooms on both sides can be used as warehouses, and the side rooms next to it are used for rough servants and little girls. But everything is up to the girl, and the girl can arrange it however she wants. "

Daiyu said with a smile, "I'm just taking a break, so there's no need to bother." Rushuang said with a smile, "Young lady is the daughter of the empress dowager, so she is naturally the princess of the palace. Xinyuan belongs to girls."

The six of them entered the house, Daiyu saw the simple and grand layout of the room, and liked it in her heart, Rushuang took Daiyu to the bedroom again, but saw that all the bedding was new, so she knew what the concubine was thinking. I was moved inside.Seeing Daiyu's tired face, Rushuang said, "Miss, take a break first, and the servants are coming to call you for dinner later."

Daiyu nodded in agreement, and Rushuang instructed Ruyan Ruxue to go back to Qingju Garden.Zijuan Xueyan helped Daiyu to sleep, and the girls went out of the bedroom to watch in the living room.

Ruyan Ruxue saw that Zijuan Xueyan has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and has a new impression, Ruyan asked: "I don't know the names of the two sisters." Zijuan smiled and said: "My name is Zijuan, and she is Xueyan." Ruyan smiled : "The two sisters have been with the girl for a long time and want to know what the girl likes, what habits does the girl have, can the two sisters tell us?"

Zijuan smiled and said: "Our girls have always been very easy to deal with, and they are kind to people and have always treated us as sisters." Although Ruyan and Ruxue didn't believe it, they were relieved, and the four of them asked their ages again. Zijuan is the biggest, Ruyan is the same age as Zijuan, Ruxue is the same age as Daiyu, Xueyan is the youngest, and they hit it off, and immediately they called out sisters and sisters.

Besides, on the side of the concubine, after Daiyu left, the concubine dismissed the maids, leaving only Shui Rong, and asked: "Rong'er, why did you lose your mind just now?"

Shui Rong said: "When my son saw Sister Yu'er, he felt as if he had known him for a long time, but he couldn't remember when he met her."

The concubine smiled and said: "So that's how it is. Rong'er, Yu'er is your Aunt Min's child. I haven't seen her in the past few years. Now that I see her, I feel very close. The concubine mother wants to ask the emperor for his will, and I will grant Yu'er the title of Beifu." Princess, how do you look?"

Shui Rong was startled, thinking that if the Princess was named, the two would become brother and sister, and hurriedly said: "Mother Concubine, let's take it easy."

The concubine asked suspiciously: "Why?" Shui Rong didn't know what to say, she just blushed, and the concubine hurriedly smiled and said, "Rong'er likes Yu'er?"

Shui Rong said: "When my son saw Sister Yu'er, he felt that she was different from other women."

The concubine said: "This is a good thing, what's there to be embarrassed about. But now that you think about it, you are not sure if you like Yu'er, so I will not go to the emperor to ask for orders. Let's talk about it later. If you can marry Yu'er, naturally the best, if not, I will treat her as a daughter, and you will treat her as a younger sister, okay?"

Shui Rong hurriedly agreed, and the concubine said again: "Since Yu'er has picked it up, I have to tell Cousin Yun if I think about it, or she should be angry with me."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "It's up to the mother and concubine to make the decision." The concubine said again: "I don't know how Yu'er is doing in Jia's house these few years, Rong'er, you can find someone to check quietly."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Let Feng Ziying investigate tomorrow." The concubine nodded in agreement, and said, "Can Rong'er have dinner with us today?"

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Naturally." The concubine smiled and said, "Today is the first day you see Yu'er. As an older brother, don't you give your younger sister some meeting gifts?"

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Look at my brain, concubine mother, my son just got a good piano, how about giving it to my sister?" The concubine just smiled and said nothing, Shui Rong knew that the concubine also felt good, so she went back to Aomei Garden to get it piano.

It turns out that Shui Rongxin got a qin called Bingxian, which is made of mulberry wood and ice silk as strings. It has a clear sound and is a rare and good qin.The water-soluble material was sure that Daiyu would like it, so she took it herself, hoping to make Daiyu happy.

Chrysanthemum Garden is farther away in Aomei Garden. When Shui Rong came back, Daiyu had already arrived, so she smiled and said: "Sister Yu'er, my brother just got a piano. I think my sister is also a person who loves the piano, so I gave it to my sister as a gift." Meet and greet."

As soon as Daiyu was about to decline, the concubine smiled and said, "Yu'er, you can accept it." Seeing Shui Rong's sincerity, Daiyu took the Yaoqin and thanked Shui Rong.At the side, Madam Xu said back and forth that lunch was ready, so the concubine took Daiyu to the dining room, and Shui Rong naturally followed behind.

After the food was served, the concubine took the main seat, and Daiyu and Shui Rong sat on the left and right respectively. The concubine smiled and said, "I am usually the only one eating, but today I am finally accompanied by someone." Stay with mother." The concubine who was talking was happy for a while, and hurriedly picked up vegetables for Daiyu, and said, "These are all your mother's favorite dishes. If you think about it, you will also like to eat them. Eat more. Seeing how thin you are, you look so thin." I feel bad."

Shui Rong also put food for Daiyu, and after a while the plate in front of Daiyu was full, Daiyu ate some, but she couldn't finish it, so she said to the concubine after a while: "Mother, Yu'er is really I can't eat anymore." Shui Rong said: "My sister eats so little, how can I do this, let's eat some." The concubine also said: "Yu'er eats too little, let's eat more."

Zijuan has been serving Daiyu at the back, and seeing that Daiyu has really eaten a lot, she hastily said: "My lady's words, we girls have always eaten very little, and we have eaten a lot today." Daiyu also nodded, and the concubine said : "Since Yu'er doesn't want to eat, don't eat it, but you need to eat more in the future, so that your health will be good."

Daiyu was moved, and Zijuan also felt that the concubine was good to her daughter. She thought that when she was in Jia's house, no one would ask her if she didn't eat for a day, let alone eat less.A little maid brought water to rinse her mouth, and Daiyu accompanied the concubine and Prince Jing after finishing their meal, and then went to the living room together.
