Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 61 Bao Dai Gets Married

The wedding date of Baoyu and Daiyu has been fixed, and it will be the autumn of this year, when the sweet osmanthus is fragrant.

Jia Yao doesn't live in the palace now, she only needs to inform Mo Lanyan when she leaves the palace.For such a big event as her brother's marriage, Jia Yao must go back to her mother's house. Jia Yao had already informed Mo Lanyan a few months earlier, and Mo Lanyan had said at that time that she would spend time with her.

At that time, Jia Yao felt that it was right for him to accompany her, but since this spring, Mo Lan became king, and the situation of seizing the heir became more and more tense.If it was only Jia Yao's brother who got married, then it would be no problem for Mo Lanyan to go.But the key point is that there is a Lin family involved. Lin Ruhai's attitude is not clear now, but he also knows that he is not willing to be forced to tie up with the third prince just like that.

Another one, Jia Yao was also afraid that the emperor would think too much, now that Mo Lanyan is the highest among the several princes, with this honor, Jia Yao is already worried that the emperor will pay more attention and suspicion.If Mo Lanyan's behavior of accompanying her made the old emperor misunderstand that he was trying to win someone over, Jia Yao would not be willing.However, Mo Lanyan accompanied Jia Yao back early that morning.This is what he said to Jia Yao, "If I deliberately don't go, it's like avoiding suspicion. This is also normal, and I should accompany you, and I should."

This marriage is not only the wish of Jia Mu and Lin Ruhai, but also the fulfillment of Baoyu Daiyu's long-cherished wish, and also the fulfillment of Jia Yao's wish.Sitting in Mrs. Wang's room, watching Baoyu being dressed up and down by Mrs. Wang, Jia Yao covered her lips and smiled happily.Over the years, Baoyu has become more and more handsome, and her figure has been raised a lot. The round face she had when she was young has already lost weight, and her profile outlines a clear line.The corners of the eyes and the brows always seem to be romantic, this is a natural appearance, and it is very similar to Jia Yao and his brother and sister.

The hair crown was erected high by the dexterous musk moon. Mrs. Wang took the coral hairpin Jia Yao handed over and inserted it on Baoyu. By the way, she gave Jia Yao a glance, "You just sit down obediently."

When Baoyu finally got on the tall horse, he took the gongs, drums and sedan chair to the Lin Mansion not far away to ask Daiyu to marry him.Mrs. Wang and Jia Yao waited together in the mansion, sitting in Mrs. Wang's courtyard and looking at the red eyes, Mrs. Wang was full of worries but also full of joy.Now that her only son is finally getting married, her children will all be married. She can no longer ignore the fact that she is getting old.Seeing Yao Nv cuddling up to her obediently, as if she was not married when she was a child, Madam Wang felt a little sour in her heart.Putting their hands on the slightly swollen lower abdomen of their little daughter, the two mothers talked about their daily life, "Is the reaction better these days?"

Jia Yao nodded, "It's much better. It was just a month ago that there was a lot of trouble. Now I'm just sleepy, but I can eat." After thinking about it, she coquettishly said to Mrs. Wang, "It's all from the sour plums given by my wife. Thanks to it, I ate quite a few of them, and gradually I was able to drink the soup."

After Jia Yao had a reaction that day, half a month later, the imperial physician finally confirmed that Jia Yao was indeed pregnant.Needless to mention the generous rewards from the emperor and the queen mother, the joy of Mo Lanyan and Jia Yao, the conflict in the hearts of the eldest prince, the eldest princess concubine and the four princes, only that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang got the news and were happy Impressive.On the second day, Mrs. Wang came to Prince Qin's Mansion with many instructions from Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, as well as some high-quality food and medicinal materials.At that time, Jia Yao was ordered by Mo Lanzhang to lie on the bed and rest, needless to say how happy she was to see her own mother come.Mrs. Wang has given birth to four children, and she has a lot of practical experience. She nagged Jia Yao all afternoon, and stayed with her in the Qin Palace for one night.On the second day, I returned with a heart full of reluctance and joy.

Not long after, Jia Yao began to have severe pregnancy reactions.Throw up whatever you eat, and you can't even drink the soup that nourishes your body.I can only drink a few mouthfuls of porridge with side dishes every day, and I lose weight quickly.Mo Lan was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, and the imperial physician was helpless, saying over and over that these reactions were normal, and just told Jia Yao to eat as much as possible.The old queen mother in the palace was also anxious, and sent many snacks one after another, but none of them worked.Mrs. Wang, who is a mother-in-law, naturally loves her daughter more, and brings some snacks every three days, just hoping that Jia Yao can whet her appetite.Later, Mrs. Wang had an idea one day and remembered the sour plums she loved to eat when she was pregnant with Jia Yao.Strange to say, when I was pregnant with Jia Yao, I didn't have any big reactions, but one day I saw the maid who served me eating sour plums, and somehow I felt greedy.At the beginning, the maid didn't dare to tell her to often, because the plums were pickled by the earth at home, and they couldn't be served on the table. Who knew that Mrs. Wang fell in love with it after tasting it.

My daughter grew up with fine clothes and fine clothes, and I don’t know if I’m used to eating sour plums that are simply pickled. Mrs. Wang didn’t think about this snack at first, but her daughter vomited so badly that everyone couldn’t help it, so she thought of it. When one case came, he hesitantly ordered the people below to clean it up, pickled a jar and sent it to him.

Unexpectedly, this thing has won Jia Yao's heart, one after another is not too sour.Sure enough, I ate better that day.Surprised by Mo Lanyan's look, he picked one up and ate it himself, drinking tea with a sour gulp.

Now when Jia Yao mentioned it, Mrs. Wang smiled happily, "I don't know how this food won your heart. I liked this when I was still in my stomach!"

At that moment, Mrs. Wang thought of something else, "Now that you have a body, is there someone else to take care of the third prince?" After all, she couldn't bear to make Jia Yao feel bad, Mrs. Wang said in a cryptic manner.It's just that Jia Yao, who had been thinking about such a thing for a long time, understood it all at once, pursed her lips, and felt a sour feeling in her heart, "Not really, he has been resting with his daughter at night."

.

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said, "Yao'er, it's not your mother who blamed you. This kind of thing is always inevitable, especially if you are married to the royal family. No matter how much you like the third prince, you can't be too willful. Listen to my mother's persuasion, you personally arrange for the third prince..., you can handle whatever happens in the future. Don't let others say that you are not tolerable. Doesn't the eldest prince and concubine arrange people in the eldest prince's room? Is it? If you don’t do something, don’t say that the Third Prince is worried about it, even the Empress Dowager will inevitably feel uncomfortable watching it.”

Jia Yao is not stupid, why doesn't she know this!It's just that no matter how much pressure she has endured, no matter how she knows the stakes, she just won't want to.Coming into this world, she felt that she was being assimilated.Not many people have the courage to maintain their true heart under the influence of society, and she is the same.Jia's education tends to teach girls to look like Yuanchun, or the eldest princess, and Jia Yao also wants to work hard to be like that.She understands that only in this way can she live the most comfortable life and receive the least training.It was Mo Lanyan who made her want to be willful again, she admitted that she liked him.She likes him so much that she doesn't want to have other women by his side, even though she also understands that it's impossible.Sighing, she didn't answer Mrs. Wang's words.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear to persecute her anymore.Turning to talk about other things, "Now Huan'er has also passed the examination of scholar. Although his ranking is not good, he is still young after all. Your master has been slowly finding a teacher for him these days. Huan'er is a good one, but His body has always been weak, and your master and I want him to learn slowly, but there is no need to force him too hard, if he can enter the court in the future, Baoyu and Baoyu will also help each other."

Jia Yao nodded, Yuanyang came over to invite them, saying that the old lady told them to come over.Mrs. Wang tidied herself up, and told Taoxi and the others to support Jia Yao, and then she took Jia Yao to Jia's mother's yard.Jia Mu is dressed very festively today, wearing a satin gown wrapped around grape branches, sprinkled with red florals, and wearing a gold hairpin ring on her head. She is sitting on a couch covered with a red mattress and listening The flattery of the always proud granddaughter-in-law Wang Xifeng and eldest granddaughter Yuanchun filled their faces with smiles.Looking up and seeing the second daughter-in-law and the little granddaughter coming, her eyes fell on Jia Yao's swollen belly, and she felt even more at ease.For a moment, everyone's topic turned away from Bao Dai's marriage, and they began to care about their own aunt who became the third prince and concubine.

The fact that my own daughter has a child, especially a boy, will undoubtedly make the Rongguo Mansion and even the four major families put more pressure on the third prince.On the other hand, if the third prince really takes that position, their family's benefits will be maximized, at least there will be no problem with Ping An II.A while ago, apart from thinking about Bao Dai's marriage, Jia's mother was thinking about Jia Yao's stomach.She knew better than anyone else that if Jia Yao had a boy in her stomach, her granddaughter would be able to gain a firm foothold.This is more secure than the third prince's favor.After caring about Jia Yao's food and clothing, he told her about his own experience.

Finally, someone from the front said that the bride had been picked up.Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai had already gone to the front hall, and all the guests were also invited.When Jia's mother got the letter, she also took Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Yuanchun, Jia Yao and so on.That seat is arranged in advance.Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and Lin Ruhai sat side by side at the top. The two newlyweds were wearing bright red wedding dresses, holding red water chestnuts in their hands, and worshiped according to the rules.As the bride was sent to the new house, Mother Jia and others went to the back hall to entertain the female guests, while Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian Baoyu entertained the male guests in the front hall.During the period, Mo Lanyan came to Jia Yao's side to care about her, and asked her if there was nothing wrong with her.It goes without saying that Mrs. Jia Muwang saw it.

Mother Jia didn't want Jia Yao to entertain with her.Firstly, the granddaughter is pregnant and will not be tired, and secondly, the granddaughter has a noble status, so the guests may feel uncomfortable.Jia Yao was also happy not to suffer that crime.Because she and Daiyu were close friends and sisters by blood, she was not only from her husband's family, but also from her natal family.After talking to Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, she first went to accompany Daiyu in Baodai's new house.Left and right Baoyu would not come until evening, afraid that Daiyu would be bored by herself, and the other would really miss her, so Jia Yao took Taoxi apricot branches and passed by all the way.

Daiyu was still obediently covered with a red hijab, sitting motionless on the wedding bed.Jia Yao passed by as quietly as possible, but now that she is heavy, she still made a sound.Daiyu, who couldn't see the situation clearly, was somewhat puzzled, Baoyu would not have come so early, so who is this?Tilting his head, he heard a familiar voice, "Daiyu?"

It's Yaoer.As if she had expected it a long time ago, a gentle and happy smile appeared on the corner of Daiyu's mouth, "Why are you here? Aren't you going to accompany the old lady and the second aunt?" She didn't say anything to greet the third prince and concubine, because the two We all know that there is no need for these between them.

"Wrong name. Second aunt? Why don't you change your name? Don't you know what to call?" Jia Yao teased.

Under the red veil, Daiyu blushed and bit her lower lip lightly, but she didn't answer.

Jia Yao stopped teasing Daiyu, she stepped forward and sat on the wedding bed, next to Daiyu as she was when she was a child, and gently hugged Daiyu who was dressed in red, "I am so happy to have such a day."

Daiyu also put her arms around her, thought for a while, restrained the shame in her heart, and she also said, "...Me too."

The two of them snuggled together quietly for a while, and they couldn't see at all that they had been separated for many years, as if those morning and evening songs, the time of being together every day was still yesterday.I woke up tomorrow morning, looked sideways, my best friend was sleeping next to me, woke up first, and was smiling at myself right now.

It was Daiyu who broke the silence, "I heard you..." She put her tender hands on Jia Yao's lower abdomen, "Are we going to have a baby?" At this moment, Jia Yao's belly seemed to move. for a moment.Daiyu felt it, and couldn't help but feel a strange shock in her heart, "Just now?"

It was also the first time Jia Yao encountered such a thing, and she was also taken aback.He hurriedly put his hands on his lower abdomen, but there was no movement for a long while.The movement just now was like an illusion, sweet and beautiful. "Yes, my baby greeted you just now! He actually likes you so much, this is the first time he has made any noise! ​​Mo Lan and I... the third prince have never met before!"

Daiyu couldn't help being extremely happy when she heard the words, "He really likes me! My precious nephew, I really want to see him sooner...he must be so beautiful!"

Jia Yao snorted, "I like to give birth to myself! I think you are not far away."

Not to mention the private conversation between the two of the sisters in the boudoir, the dinner began soon, and Jia Yao was also called back by Jin Chuaner sent by Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang didn't let her go to the front again, arranged two quiet meals in her yard to accompany her, and went to the front in a hurry.

The bridal chamber at night is naturally out of order.The previous dinner party was over, and this was considered a great deal of face, Mo Lanyan came and picked Jia Yao up and went back.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, looking at Mo Lanyan's gentle face, Jia Yao recalled the matter Mrs. Wang mentioned during the day.The original good mood, after thinking about this incident, naturally cannot be maintained.She was a little tired at first, but now she lowered her head, Jia Yao's complexion became even worse.

Mo Lanzhen felt strange, so he asked, "Aren't you very happy today? What's the matter? Could it be that you're tired? Or you can't bear to part with your father-in-law?" After thinking about it, it might be the reason , he smiled and comforted, "Don't feel bad. When he is born in the future, you will take care of yourself, and we will be outside the palace. It will be convenient for you to go to Rongguo Mansion!"

Jia Yao shook her head, and saw that he looked puzzled again, and she couldn't control her emotions when she was pregnant, thinking that he might also want a concubine's room, now she became more and more suspicious, and she was a little annoyed Call one, "Let me ask you, these days I... do I need someone to serve you?"

Mo Lanyan immediately understood why her complexion was so bad, she smiled a little, and deliberately teased her, "Yao'er is so virtuous?! I'm all based on your arrangement. A good wife is like this. What more can I ask for!"

Jia Yao felt even more angry when she heard this, "Okay! Which one do you like? Or you don't like the ones in our house, so I'll go ask the emperor's grandmother? If you tell me, I'll naturally go and ask for it for you." here."

Seeing that her back was straight, her eyes were red with anger, and tears were rolling in her eyes, Mo Lanyan knew that she was serious in her heart, and she was a little angry when she was funny, "I'm just teasing you, what are you doing?" Take it seriously. Yaoer just don’t worry, I don’t like anyone except you.” In fact, in Mo Lanzhang’s view, although he really loves his wife and is willing to give her love and respect, but the noble It's perfectly normal for a man to have a concubine's room. Jia Yao just feels uncomfortable, so she shouldn't lose her temper with him like this.It's just that Jia Yao is pregnant now, and he doesn't want to make her unhappy. In a world where the situation is unclear, he is also afraid that someone around him will be bribed by someone else, so he doesn't think so now.

But he didn't think it was the same thing, and Mo Lanyan felt a little uncomfortable when his wife flirted with him.

But his face darkened, but Jia Yao didn't come to coax him at all, but turned around and ignored him.Mo Lanchang began to want to hold it, but didn't talk to Jia Yao.He just stood there for a while, but Jia Yao didn't come over to coax him. In desperation, he touched his nose to comfort his wife who is pregnant now, so he doesn't have the same knowledge as her.

Mo Lan moved her face closer, and Mo Lanyan had a rather rascal face, "Yaoer? Yaoer... Yaoer, don't be angry, I was just joking with you. With you, the Peach Blossom Fairy, how could I have ever How rare are others!"

After a few words of coaxing like this, Jia Yao turned her face, her eyes were still a little red, she was half joking and half serious looking into Mo Lanyan's eyes and said, "If you have someone else, I won't like you anymore."

For a moment, Mo Lanzhang thought it was just a coquettish remark, but was inexplicably shocked, and felt that Jia Yao had a bit of solemn meaning in it.He nodded and answered with a smile, but he wondered what that "I don't like you anymore" meant.He didn't speak for a while.

Jia Yao also stopped looking at him, and leaned on the soft back of the chair, thinking about her own thoughts.What she said was half-truth and half-false, but it was really literal. She was not only speaking to Mo Lanyan, but also to herself.If Mo Lanyan had someone else, she would really have to put away those meaningless loves, and stop liking them, otherwise she would just hurt herself. This sentence should be regarded as the last time she will be self-willed... From then on, she will definitely not No matter how delusional about love, I just want to look at the good ones at the beginning and be a virtuous person.An'an lived the life of the most admired lady in the society safely and magnanimously, only guarding her own children, and lived a safe life.

But... There was a wry smile from the corner of her mouth, this is obviously a dead end, isn't it?How could it be possible for him to be the only woman?
