Edge of the Red Chamber

After finishing speaking, I knew I was wrong, but it was hard to get rid of it.

On the one hand, she blamed Shui Rong for being too talkative, but secretly liked his maintenance, she didn't stop for a while, her face was also red and white at times.After a while, Daiyu came to her senses and told Lixiang, "Take care carefully. If the concubine has any orders, please send someone to tell me."

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Princess, don't worry, take a rest, and the concubine's anger will disappear." Daiyu was really relieved, and stood up and said a few words before they left.

After coming back and sitting down, Qin's mother came.

Because it is an inner house affair, water soluble is avoided.He said he wanted to take a rest and went to the inner room.

The newlywed Yan'er is reasonable, but Daiyu is thin-skinned, uncomfortable, with flushed cheeks, and it's not easy to push him out.After complaining a few words in my heart, I threw it away.Instead, she asked Qin's mother why she came, and said, "what happened at home while I was away?"

Hongxiao knew that Daiyu had forgotten about sleeping on the moon, so she wanted to remind her, Xiangcheng snorted coldly, and said: "It's an old man in the mansion, I don't know where the rules are, the princess just came back, and even sips of hot tea Before I ate it, she came here, and I have never heard of it."

Water soluble in the inner chamber, who are you talking about?Hongxiao hurriedly went up to cover her mouth, but she still didn't stop her, and suddenly became angry and anxious, and said in a low voice: "The prince is still there, don't you have a handle on your mouth?"

Xiangcheng regretted her slip of the tongue, but she felt that she did not say anything wrong, and she was not convinced, but she did not admit her mistake, and was afraid that Shui Rongzhen would misunderstand Daiyu and was in trouble, Daiyu waved her hand and said: "Please Qin Mom came in and answered."

Hongxiao gave Xiangcheng a sideways look, signaling to her not to speak nonsense, and said to Daiyu: "Mother Qin is probably here to sleep on the moon."

After being reminded by Hongxiao, Daiyu just remembered.

Not to mention Zhenyue's thoughts, but because she never put her master in her eyes, and didn't even pretend to be face-saving, it is impossible for her to use this person again.After thinking about it for a while, I had an idea in my heart.

At that moment, Qin's mother came in, and without waiting for her to speak first, Daiyu said, "I was about to send someone to invite mother, but mother came first."

Qin's mother said it was not good to ask for love, so she had to ask: "I don't know what it is, but please tell me, Wangfei."

Daiyu pointed to the pedals and told her to sit down, and said: "I see that Zhenyue is not young anymore, I wonder if mother has arranged it?"

Hearing the words, you know that there is no room for redemption about the pillow month.Thinking of the hard work of serving the concubine all these years, but ended up like this in his later years, he felt bitter and unbearable.

Daiyu couldn't bear to see Qin's mother suddenly seem ten years old.But thinking of Zhenyue's personality, he suppressed this intolerance.

Is it the person who has served the concubine for decades? Mother Qin quickly came to her senses and said: "What kind of a thing is she? The concubine still thinks about her." She also said: "She came in to serve the master, everything is natural It is the master who is the master."

Daiyu said with a smile: "The rules are like this, but you can't ignore Chang Tianlun, you have a baby, you always have to ask what you mean, if you have a good family, I will save some trouble, wouldn't it be good? "

Mother Qin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess Wang." As she spoke, she carefully considered a few words in her heart, and then slowly said: "If Princess Wang doesn't get a candidate, the old slave will fall here There is one." After all, it's about her daughter's life. Mother Qin still can't trust Daiyu in her heart, so she didn't refuse again. I'm afraid Daiyu will take it. My sister-in-law asked me a few times, but I didn't answer. The girl serves in front of the prince. As parents, how can we be the master of this? She has been waiting. I watched the child grow up, so I didn't say much. , is a sincere child, and I like it too. I'm still thinking about waiting for two years, giving up this old face, and begging for a favor with the princess." I'm afraid it's her natal brother who has this idea.

Daiyu didn't know it either, since Qin's mother has someone to choose, she also saves trouble, and it has nothing to do with her to live well in the future, so she said: "This is a good thing. Knowing the root and the bottom is better than outsiders." Then said: "She is a good person. Who would not miss her after serving the lord these years? If she is not old, I am afraid that her future will be delayed. I would like to keep her for a few more years."

Qin's mother naturally didn't dare to take it seriously, she got up quickly, and said with a blessing: "The princess is ridiculous." But she can't be modest, Zhenyue is a servant of the palace, it doesn't matter if the master says it's good or bad, and if the master says it's bad, it's not good.Even if she is the mother of the moon, she cannot surpass the master.

Daiyu seemed to remember, and asked again: "Why are you here?"

Mother Qin's mouth was full of bitterness, and she forced a smile and said: "Our second boy wrote a letter a while ago, saying that my daughter-in-law has added a boy, but the child is difficult to give birth to, and both mothers are not doing well, so I want this old slave to go back to help. Old man Slave looked at, Su Momo and Song Mama are both good, both of them are better than the old slave, the old slave is also old, sick and suffering twice all day long, unable to serve the master, but the masters should worry about the old slave, The old slave is also very sorry, so I want to ask the princess for a favor."

The concubine gave her two choices, one was to stay in the mansion with Daiyu, but Zhenyue let her out; the other was to go home to take care of her, and Zhenyue remained in the main courtyard to serve her.She chose the former, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got out of errands, something happened to her.Her own daughter failed to live up to expectations, and she had no choice but to be ashamed to ask the concubine again.Besides, if she had any face in front of the concubine, how could the concubine lose the face of her own daughter-in-law for a servant?

Now that the matter has come to this point, Daiyu is still willing to save face for Zhenyue, which is also Daiyu's generosity.Qin's mother thought of this, and said: "I used my sister-in-law and said that when Zhenyue reached the age, I would send someone to ask for the princess. The old slave thought, this time when I return to my hometown, I will take Zhenyue back."

Although she doesn't like sleeping on the moon, Daiyu never thought of ruining her future. Mother Qin knew it well, and Daiyu was happy to have it fulfilled, saying: "This is also worth a word of begging." Although Mama and Song are people who are used to it, after all, they are newcomers and are not familiar with everywhere. I still thought, with my mother around, and someone around me who often reminds me, how much less things are missing. I didn’t think about it. It’s only been a few days. Mom is leaving again. However, human relations are normal, and this is human nature, so I can't stop my mother." He gestured to Hongxiao.

When Daiyu opened her mouth, Hongxiao had already expected it and quietly prepared it.At this time, I took it out and showed it to Qin's mother, saying: "This 100 taels of silver is for the princess to spend on the way. Mom, don't think too little. This pair of silver noodles, a pair of bracelets, and two pieces of satin are for the princess. Makeup for Sister Zhenyue."

The pair of bracelets were one or two heavy gold bracelets, they were considered a great gift, and after giving them all the dignity, Mother Qin felt a little grateful, and kowtowed to thank her, saying that she would turn around and kowtow.

After dismissing Mother Qin, Daiyu asked where Zhenyue Pass was, and Lan Qiao said, "It's in her room."

It seems that Su's mother is also soft-hearted, and she didn't make a fuss about it, which can be regarded as leaving a way for Zhenyue to survive.

Daiyu told Hongxiao, "Go and invite mother."

When Mother Su came, Daiyu repeated what she had just said to Mother Qin.After listening, Su Momo said: "The princess is too soft-hearted," and then said: "That's fine, I always serve the prince, there is no credit but hard work. She will live a good life in the future, and she will remember the goodness of the princess." .”

Daiyu shook her head with a smile, and said, "Who would expect this? It's all based on heart."

There is no need for Daiyu to worry, Madam Su has sent someone to pass on the word, and no one has mentioned the matter of the morning, only that Mother Qin begged Daiyu, let go of the moon and went back to get married on her own.

The concubine didn't say anything, but when she chatted with Zhou's mother in the room, she said that Daiyu was generous, which was how everyone behaved, and she was very satisfied with her words.Of course, this is something to do later, let's not mention it for now.

One morning, I first followed the concubine to study housework, and then I was bluffed by the moon again, and I was worried again. Qin's mother came, and finally dismissed Qin's mother, but the water was dissolved in the inner room, Daiyu was embarrassed, and wanted to go to the study to read some books.

As soon as he got up, Shui Rong sent someone out to ask if the matter was over.Daiyu couldn't talk about going to the study, so she asked, "Has the prince rested yet?"

Yao Huang smiled and said: "Not yet, the lord said something to the concubine, if the concubine's affairs are over, please come over." This was waiting for her specially.

Daiyu thought of Lin Hai, although Lin Hai's complexion was a little pale, but he didn't seem to have any serious symptoms, and Lin Juan and Lin Yan were not in a hurry, the yard smelled of medicine, I'm afraid it was something interesting.But looking at those girls, they covered their lips with handkerchiefs to hide their smiles, so they knew that none of them believed in Shui Rong's words, and it was hard for her to explain, besides, Shui Rong might not mean that.Daiyu couldn't help worrying about her father if she didn't want to go, but in the end it was as she wished.

Shui Rong really didn't rest, leaning on the kang to read a book.She didn't get up when she came in, she just dismissed the girl who followed.There were only two people left in the room, Shui Rong lost his scruples and beckoned Daiyu to sit beside him.

Daiyu agreed, but sat to the west, and said: "What happened? I don't know, so I can't help but think too much, but neither father nor brother. The prince must know, and I beg him Tell me, so I can rest assured." Saying that, he poured a cup of tea for Shui Rong.

Shui Rong stood up, picked up the celadon lotus bowl, took a bite, and then said slowly, "Come here, I'll tell you."

Daiyu's hands trembled, and the tea was spilled on the table, she got up in embarrassment and wanted to leave.Shui Rong hurriedly got off the kang, not even able to put on her shoes, stepped forward to hold Daiyu, begged for forgiveness repeatedly, and said: "Princess, don't be angry, it was me, Meng Lang, so don't dare."

When ever met such a person, Daiyu was ashamed, annoyed and angry, and she wanted to leave but couldn't. She just felt that after living for more than ten years, she had met a lot of people. How could she meet such a person? Such thick, shameless, dare to say anything, dare to do anything.Every time she was so angry that her chest would explode, he still had a smile on her face.He is obviously a decent person on weekdays, and he is gentle and polite in front of others, but when he gets home, it seems like a different person.

If you want to argue with him, you are just angry in vain.But when it comes to things, I still can't help but get angry.After being angry for a while, when he came to his senses, he secretly regretted what he was doing with this anger.The two chatted for a while, Daiyu remembered, turned around and said, "Then let go of your hand and sit comfortably, and let's have a serious conversation."

Shui Rong nodded in agreement, the two still sat down on the kang, called the girl to come in to tidy up, and pour tea again.Shui Rong then slowly narrated the incident, saying: "Father-in-law has always wanted to resign from office, but after the fifth prince made trouble this time, father-in-law wanted to use this to find out the emperor's mind."

After a few words, Daiyu understood.

On the second day, Lin Hai took sick leave and did not go to court.Emperor Qinghe didn't ask any more questions. After he came down to court, he asked Dai Quan.

Dai Quan slowly made excuses to entertain guests at the Zhuangzi, but later Lin Daiyu brought two pots of orchids back to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing County when she returned from the three dynasties.

Emperor Qinghe thought for a while, then asked, "Who did the Fifth Prince invite?"

Perhaps this is the person who is an emperor, who can always point out the most important things in one sentence.

Dai Quan hesitated for a while but didn't dare to say it, but Emperor Qinghe understood a little bit and shouted angrily, "What are you talking about?"

Dai Quan didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he quickly kowtowed on the ground, and said tremblingly, "It's the king of Zhijun."
