The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Qi Jinling heard the words and sighed: "What can I do now? The eldest princess and the concubine Beijing are protecting her, I don't want to provoke her anymore." Qi Yadie sneered: "You don't provoke her Wouldn't you hold grudges against you? You have offended her already." Yao Jinling said: "Then what should I do?" Qi Yadie said in a deep voice: "If you listen to me, I will definitely speak nice words to you in front of my brother." Yao Jinling hurriedly said, "Then what do you want to do, princess?"

Long Xunuo smiled and said, "Will there be a talent show soon? That Hu Meizi named Lin must have no talent, so we have to let him perform. Brother Rong and Brother Rong wouldn't like a vase." Yao Jinling laughed and said : "It turns out that the Princess is for Prince Beijing, and Ling'er promised to help you, but the Princess also wants to help Ling'er." Qi Yadie said with a smile: "My younger sister likes her as a sister-in-law very much, so she will naturally help her." Yao Jinling hurriedly said: "Then Ling'er will listen to the princess's orders." Qi Yadie said: "When the time comes, you will encourage that Lin to perform." Yao Jinling said: "This is easy."

Huan Huan, Brother Beiyan; Xian came to invite all the girls to appreciate the plum blossoms, all the girls hurriedly followed Zheng Huaxian out, Daiyu and others did not want to join in the fun, so they followed slowly behind, Princess Yuting and Xichun was talking hand in hand, and Yingchun and Tanchun hadn't seen each other for a long time. They were talking privately while walking together. Daiyu and Princess Yuxuan walked behind, and Daiyu asked with a smile, "Sister Xuan is ready What a talent."

If you have to, you have to play a song.As for you, sister, I heard from sister Xichun that you are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. " Daiyu laughed and said: "Yu'er just came to see Aunt Hui today. The other mothers and concubines didn't tell me, so what kind of talent show has nothing to do with me?" , so free and easy." Daiyu smiled and said: "It's just some irrelevant people, there is no need to show anything. If my sister wants to listen to Yu'er playing the piano, she can go to Beijing Palace, okay?"

Yu Xuan was looking for something to say, and saw a girl in front of her looking at her. It was the girl Jingqiu whom the eldest princess called to explain the incident. Yuxuan hurriedly said to Daiyu: "She is the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Wang's family. The niece of the current empress, she is dignified and fair, she is very much liked by the empress, and she is the default second concubine."

She frowned badly, and Daiyu Yuxuan walked closer, then smiled at the two of them: "Miss Lin, just now Jingqiu listened to what the girl said, and admired her very much, I don't know if Jingqiu can become friends with Miss Lin "When Daiyu saw that Wang Jingqiu didn't talk nonsense, she directly pointed out the purpose of her visit. She was really dignified and generous when she spoke, and she admired her very much. She hurriedly said: "Of course Daiyu is willing." Jingqiu didn't expect Daiyu to agree without asking anything. I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "My name is Wang Jingqiu. I am 15 years old this year. Daiyu is the name of Miss Lin. Sure enough, the eyebrows are like Daisy and the face is like jade. I don't know Miss Lin is Guigeng?" Daiyu smiled and said: "Daiyu She is also 14 years old." Jing Qiu smiled and said: "Then Jing Qiu will take advantage of it and call you my sister for life."

Huanxuan pleats Φ collapsing skeletons and disadvantages evenly taking a bath!I am younger than you, too. "Wang Jingqiu said:" In Jingqiu's heart, she also regards the princess as her younger sister, but the princess has a noble status and Jingqiu dare not. "Although she said that, there was no intention of flattery in her eyes, but a little pampering. Yuxuan smiled and said: "I knew that sister Jingqiu was joking with me. According to what sister Yu'er said, people have There is no difference between good and evil, but there is no difference between high and low. Sister Jingqiu will naturally understand this truth. "

She has a dignified aura all over her body. Unlike Xue Baochai's dignified, Wang Jingqiu's dignified is from the inside out, so it won't make people feel uncomfortable.It's no wonder that she can be recognized by the empress to become a prince concubine. Even if such a woman becomes a prince concubine, there will be more than enough motherhood in the world in the future.

I have a lot to learn, and I usually have little friendship with the girls in various houses.Now that I see you two, I am really happy. I wonder if Sister Yuer and Sister Xuan can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to accompany my sister when they are free? "

The anticipation in the eyes of Nang Huan and the vulgar girl, thinking that she has put in much more sweat than herself in order to become a qualified princess and even a future princess, I just feel distressed in my heart , hurriedly said: "Yu'er is eager to go to the prime minister's mansion to play." Naturally, Yuxuan also knows what Wang Jingqiu means. She was not very familiar with this Wang Jingqiu at first. She also has a soft side, and immediately said: "Yu'er will go, and I will go too." Wang Jingqiu was happy in her heart, and there was a little smile on her face, which was completely different from the usual smile on her face, and her little maid knew , my girl is really happy, she quickly glanced at Daiyu and Yuxuan gratefully, she has been with Wang Jingqiu for many years, watching her girl learn things that other girls don't need to learn since she was a child, piano and chess Calligraphy and painting are people's way of dealing with people and even scheming, just because their daughter is the default prince concubine, the future prince concubine and Dahan's queen.Since my daughter was eight years old, she hasn't had such friends, have she laughed like this?

The man who frowned didn't know what the little girl was thinking, the three of them walked forward while talking, and they arrived at the plum garden in the other courtyard after a while.The plum garden in the princess mansion is really different. It is worthy of being a royal garden. The plum trees of various varieties seem to be planted randomly, but because of the gardener's whimsy, it looks like a whole plum tree from any angle. The most beautiful side of the world, and the layout of plum trees also implies the meaning of the five elements and eight trigrams.The paths in the garden seem to have been stepped on randomly, and there are no artificial traces. Walking along the path, you will find a two-story attic. As usual, the attic faces south. The trees, like a yard with plum trees as fences, are full of a natural atmosphere.Although it was cold winter at this time, the wind in the plum garden was not very cold, and there was still a hint of warmth.Yuxuan laughed and said, "This plum grove is so strange. It's winter but it's not very cold." When Daiyu first entered the plum garden, she knew that there might be hot springs around the plum garden. Naturally knowing this, he smiled and replied: "I think there is geothermal heat like hot springs around here." But he said it at the same time as Wang Jingqiu.

The collapse of the skeleton is much worse than that of the reef. "Wang Jingqiu was very surprised. She didn't expect Daiyu to understand that she was forced to learn it, so she smiled and asked Daiyu: "Sister Yu'er knows a lot. "Daiyu laughed and said: "Dad used to like reading books very much, and also liked to collect books. If he had a good book, he would let Yu'er read it.Later, when daddy went, Yu'er moved all the books to the capital. These were things that daddy liked, so Yu'er read them all. "As Daiyu spoke, there was a mist in her eyes.

She looked at Daiyu who was jealous and jealous, and felt pity. She hurriedly said, "Sister Yu'er, it's all because of my sister's fault." Daiyu said, "Yu'er is fine." Then she said and went into the attic.

The lord and others have been waiting in the attic for a long time, and there are also wives from various prefectures who came to participate in the plum blossom banquet, and Mrs. Xing is naturally there.The eldest princess and the Prince of Beijing's mansion smiled reassuringly when they saw the three of them coming in together.The three hurriedly greeted the eldest princess, several concubines and the wives present.The low-ranking wives hurriedly returned the gift, and learned from their own daughters that the fairy-like girl was the newly-acquainted daughter of Concubine Beijing, the daughter of the former inspector of Yan Yushi's family, and did not dare to neglect.Wang Jingqiu took Daiyu to meet his mother, the current prime minister's wife. The prime minister's wife was very kind and kind. She took Daiyu's hand and said, "What a beautiful child, our Jingqiu really compares to her."

But now Lei Muai Wang Jingqiu was very beautiful, and she was always very proud of being a mother. Now that she saw Daiyu, she felt that Daiyu was more beautiful than her own daughters, especially her daughter. That fairy-like orchid temperament is something that her own daughter does not have.Daiyu blushed slightly when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "Returning to Madam, Daiyu thinks that sister Jingqiu is a dignified beauty." The prime minister's wife said with a smile: "Since you are called sister Qiu'er, you can call me auntie." Well, your parents used to call our master their elder brother." Daiyu hurriedly worshiped the Prime Minister's wife as a nephew, and said that she had seen her aunt. Let's play at our house, if we want to come, our master also wants to see you."

The younger sister, who frowned, had promised her daughter a long time ago. "As soon as the prime minister's wife was about to speak, a little girl came over and called Daiyu, and she only said that the empress dowager Beijing let Daiyu go. Daiyu hurriedly resigned from the prime minister's wife and Wang Jingqiu, and went to the place of the Beijing dowager. Seeing her coming, she hurriedly said: "Yu'er, come over and sit for a while, are you tired now? "Daiyu sat beside the concubine as she said, and said with a smile: "Mother, Yu'er is not tired, and Yu'er is very happy to know two more sisters. "Concubine Bei Jing smiled and said: "Yuxuan and Jingqiu are both good children, you can rest assured that you are with them.There will be a talent show in a while, does Yu'er want to participate? "

Yu'er is impatient with that, Yu'er only sits here with her maiden. "The concubine said with a smile:" That's fine, if Yu'er participated, she might directly compare those girls, so let's save some face for them. "Daiyu laughed and said: "How can you make fun of your daughter like this. "The two were talking about this when they heard a woman in a light red dress with a woman's hair bun say: "Today is the plum blossom banquet in our house, thank you for coming, all the ladies who came today are both talented and beautiful." People, I believe that everyone has outstanding talents. Talent display is a common practice of our plum blossom banquet. Today’s plum blossom banquet is different from before. Jumbo is the highlight of this talent show, and I hope all the girls will do their best. "

The wives and ladies of Yan Mi were immediately excited when they heard the words. It was obvious that the princesses of each mansion wanted to choose a daughter-in-law for the eldest son of the mansion, and they were all eager to try.The woman said again: "For the sake of fairness, let's draw lots to determine the order of priority. The people behind the performance of the current person can also perform. Today's judges are the eldest princess, Mrs. Wei Guogong, Mrs. Deqinghou, Mrs. Yongpinghou Mrs. Zhongqin and Mrs. Zhongqin, the wives will each have ten plum blossoms, and the one who gets the most plum blossoms will be the winner. Of course, princesses and concubines can also give their lottery directly to the lady they like." Beijing Dowager said to Dai Yudao: "This woman is Cheng Suyun, the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest princess, Cheng Suyun, the daughter of the Minister of Rites."

It is fair to say that these people are all wives without daughters, so they drew lots immediately. Daiyu didn't want to participate, so she didn't go to draw lots, but she heard Yao Jinling, who had been targeting her just now, say: "Miss Lin, isn't it?" I don't think I have any talent, so I dare not draw lots?" Daiyu just ignored her, but Yao Jinling said again: "I heard that Miss Lin's parents are talented people, could it be that Miss Lin only inherited their appearance, and didn't have any talent?" Even if they have a little bit of talent, the rumors are still false, Miss Lin's parents have no talent."

Jianben Concubine Cai was furious when she heard the words, and when she was about to speak, Daiyu stopped her and said coldly to Yao Jinling: "You are not qualified to comment on Daiyu's parents, but now that you have said this, I, Lin Daiyu, will If you don't participate, you will insult your parents' reputation, and Daiyu dare not let her parents' reputation be damaged in the slightest." As she spoke, she randomly drew a lottery, but she was the third from last.Daiyu didn't care, and still talked to Concubine Beijing. Seeing that she had successfully forced Daiyu to participate in the talent show, Yao Jinling stopped talking, just looked at Qi Yadie and smiled, and retreated to her mother , her mother hurriedly said: "Ling'er, prepare quickly, and compare that surnamed Lin in a while." She already knew about the dispute between her daughter and Lin Daiyu, but she didn't say that her daughter was wrong, only that Lin Daiyu bullied others , and don't even think about who is the one who bullies others.

Qi Jinling hurriedly agreed, thinking about her superb piano skills, she now had some confidence.When he was about to speak, he saw Cheng Suyun bringing a girl over. It turned out that it was Yao Jinling's turn to draw lots. Yao Jinling hurriedly drew one, but it was the one before Daiyu.After a stick of incense, everyone finished drawing lots, and Cheng Suyun said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please move to the open space outside the attic." The eldest princess went out first, and all the concubines and wives of the Houfu also left Going out, the seats have already been prepared outside, and the high platform has also been set up. All the ladies and ladies sat at will, and the acquaintances sat and chatted together.And several judges sat in the front row.Daiyu, Yuxuan, and Yuting Tanchun sat with Princess Beijing, Princess Nan'an, and Princess Xining. Wang Jingqiu sat with the Prime Minister's wife and Mrs. Xing to celebrate the spring, and another lady from the Duke's mansion. Daiyu Tanchun Seeing Mrs. Xing, hurried over to greet her.

Si Daiyu Tanchun greeted her, and hurriedly said, "Eldest girl, third girl, don't be too polite." Daiyu laughed and said, "The eldest aunt is an elder, so naturally she should receive this gift." The prime minister's wife saw Daiyu Zhili doesn't pretend to be noble just because of his high status now, he likes it even more in his heart, so he said to Daiyu: "Yu'er, this is the wife and lady of Liguo Duke's family." Daiyu hurriedly greeted the lady, and the Madam hurriedly said: "I saw Miss Lin just now, but I was afraid to go over and disturb her, but now she looks more beautiful from close up than from a distance." The girl from the Duke's family also smiled and said, "Qin's face has seen Lin Miss." Daiyu quickly returned the gift, said a few words to Mrs. Xing, and then returned to the table of Imperial Concubine Beijing.

Su Chensu was waiting for the talent show to start, and the first girl who was drawn was ready, but she saw a lot of young men walking from the other side of the garden, so Daiyu naturally saw it too, so she was about to tie her veil immediately, Bei Jing The concubine said: "It's okay, they will watch from a distance in another open space, and will not come over." Hearing this, Daiyu looked over there, and she saw that there was still an open space over there, and there were also tables, chairs and a set of clothes. Standing on the high platform, Daiyu asked Dowager Beijing, "Mother, do they have talent to show?"

Concubine Yan smiled and said: "Naturally, even your elder brother Rong will also play." Daiyu glanced over there, but saw that Shui Rong was also looking at her, she hurriedly blushed and lowered her head.Concubine Bei Jing hurriedly looked in the direction Daiyu was looking at just now, but seeing Shui Rong was still looking at her, she was secretly happy.

Huanhuan started as usual, but it was the girl who started first. The girl who got the first prize hurriedly carried the piano to the high stage. She was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the childishness on her face had not yet faded away. I went, but I was calm and unafraid, I just played an ancient tune, Ding Ding Dong Dong was very pleasant to hear, and everyone applauded politely when the song was over.A few of you all thought that although this girl played so-so, she was not stage-frightened at such a young age, so she was given eight plum blossoms, and this girl got forty plum blossoms, which is considered very tall.

It's just that the next few ladies didn't get as many plum blossoms as the first one, not because they were inferior to the first one, it's just that the judges became stricter.When the No. 11 lady came on stage, Yuxuan smiled and said, "I'll be the next one, I'll prepare first." Daiyu smiled at her, and Concubine Beijing smiled and said to Princess Xining: " What does Miss Xuan want to show?" Princess Xining said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wang, I don't know, Xuan'er has always had ideas, Zuo is just a joke, follow Xuan'er's happiness."

Daiyu looked at Princess Xining and felt that she was a really good mother. Then she saw Yuxuan had already stepped onto the stage, and four maids brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones up. Yuxuan's maid hurriedly laid out the paper, and everyone saw Yu Princess Xuan scooped up brushes in each hand, and wrote on the left and right rice papers at the same time, only the ladies and the young masters on the other side were stunned. After a while, Yuxuan finished writing, and Yuxuan's little girl was busy. After sucking up the ink, three little girls came up to show the book to everyone, but what they wrote was pretending to be a little red peach and apricot, and there was still a lonely, thin and snowy face. It was right on the theme of today's plum appreciation, and the words were majestic and majestic. Just like Mei's character, what's even more rare is that the two characters of Fu have the same strokes, as if they were written by the same hand.

壷陈养θ昂夜怪疑, but saw that the person who wrote the words was no longer on the stage. Several judges hurriedly scored, but they got 45 plum blossoms. The next one was Qi Yadie, who saw her wearing The bright red wide-sleeved dance gown, and the skirt of the dance gown is also very big, obviously she came prepared, as the music came to her mind, Qi Yadie danced, she was born with a very beautiful body and a good figure, so Dancing on the high platform is really like a butterfly, so beautiful.At the end of the song, everyone applauded, Qi Yadie panted slightly, but with a smug smile on her face, she couldn't wait to look at the moon-white figure at the male guest, but saw that the man didn't look at her , just clapping hands casually, but looking in Daiyu's direction.

Long Xunuo's heart instantly cooled down, and he gave Daiyu a hard look before getting off the high platform.Daiyu was talking to the concubine and had no idea, but Yu Ting, the little princess, saw it and stared back. After several judges finished judging, Qi Yadie also got 45 plum blossoms, and Qi Yadie was a little unhappy. Why did Ye Yuxuan only write a few words and get as much as she danced for a long time?

In a blink of an eye, Yingchun and Xichun arrived, and the numbers drawn by the two of them were consecutive, so they went on stage together. Xichun sat on a painting, but Yingchun raised her head on the painting. poetry.When they were waiting for the two to finish showing their works to everyone, they heard a burst of exclamation, and several people looked at Daiyu. There are two poems in Huayin: Quality is clean and clean, better than dirty and sinking into ditches. Daiyu in the painting is dressed in white, which directly depicts Daiyu's temperament. Daiyu is also stunned when she looks at the painting Oh, these four younger sisters are too much.Xichun dragged Yingchun down without waiting for everyone to applaud. Several judges looked at Daiyu and then at the painting, and directly gave 47 plum blossoms.Everyone was also convinced.

It was Wang Jingqiu who was behind the bow. She only took out a flute and played it. Although the sound of the flute was clear and clear, although it was a simple piece of music, it brought everyone to a state of incomparable relaxation.At the end of the song, 47 plum blossoms were obtained.The rest of the ladies came to the stage one by one, only one got 45 flowers, and the rest had no more than [-] flowers.Daiyu saw that she was getting closer to her original place, so she asked Zijuan to borrow a guqin from the first girl on stage, but she hadn't prepared anything when she came.

When the girl heard that Daiyu wanted to borrow the guqin, she hurriedly gave her to Zijuan.He laughed and said, "That sister is fine if she doesn't return it." Zijuan thanked the girl, took the qin and returned to Daiyu's side, and told Daiyu what the girl had said, and Daiyu told the girl The girl looked over, but saw that she was also looking at him, so she smiled at her, and the girl smiled at her too, and saw Yao Jinling holding the Guqin and going on stage.

Qi Jinling played the high mountains and flowing waters. Her piano skills are indeed superb, and her fingering is also proficient. After the end of the song, everyone in the audience applauded her, and the judges also gave 48 plum blossoms.Yuxuan only looked at Daiyu worriedly, but Daiyu didn't care, just hugged Qin and wanted to go to the high platform. 〆糯~米*头~发ξ

After all, Yao Jinling played the piano really well before, and the two had a dispute before, if Daiyu couldn't play the piano well, but They lost face greatly, but the male guests on the side were dumbfounded. They only saw a fairy-like woman walking up the high platform gracefully, every step was so casual but beautiful, and they were dumbfounded immediately.Shui Rong saw that everyone was looking at Daiyu but felt very sour, and hurriedly coughed twice before everyone realized it, they were all a little embarrassed, and when they looked at the high stage again, they saw that girl was auditioning.Every movement is graceful.

Xuan Xuan then tried the sound of the piano, but Qi Yadie sarcastically said: "If you don't know how to play it, come down, don't be ashamed there." Yao Jinling also said: "No matter how much you play It's better if I go." The male guests at the side were very dissatisfied when they heard two people insulting the fairy in their hearts, Qi Haoyu and Shui Rong were even more dissatisfied, they all glared at Qi Yadie and Yao Jinling.Daiyu originally didn't want to play the song "High Mountain and Flowing Water", but now she heard Yao Jinling say so, she changed her mind immediately, and a piece of "High Mountain and Flowing Water" flowed out from under her fingers.
