Edge of the Red Chamber

In the twinkling of an eye, there is another cold and heat, and as soon as spring begins, there will be two major events.First, the emperor's eightieth birthday, and then the emperor abdicated with the prince.The new emperor ascended the throne, and changed the year name to Qinghe, which was the first year of Qinghe, and the whole country celebrated together.

Because Yuanchun was an old man in the East Palace, he gave birth to five princes, who were named Fengzao Palace Shangshu and Xiande Concubine.Ning Rong's two houses couldn't help being overjoyed, because neither the empress nor the fourth concubine's natal family had celebrated, Jia's house didn't dare to pass these five people, so they couldn't celebrate too much, they still invited a small theater troupe, and their house was lively for five days.

Mother Jia also sent someone to pick up sisters Lu Huixian and Daiyu Linjun. It was Lin Fei's first birthday, and the whole family was too busy to leave.The mother-in-law who came over went back to Jia's mother. Jia's mother said that she had a lot of forgetfulness, but she was not very happy in her heart. Lu Huixian, Lin Daiyu and Lin Jun really didn't know how to flatter them.

Although she intends to befriend the Lin family, her current situation is not the same as before.Lin Hai is just a young teacher who is in charge of the Imperial Academy and does not have much real power, but his own family is different.Yuan Chun became a concubine, and she had five princes by her side, so only others would flatter her, but she didn't have the need to flatter others.Besides, she is an elder, so there is really no need to stick to it, so she doesn't force her, and her intimacy fades a bit or two.

This year when the new emperor ascends the throne, the Lu family has to be recalled to Beijing to congratulate him.Mrs. Lu has never seen her two daughters since they came out of the cabinet. Several grandchildren were born, and they were not able to come in person when they were full moon or one year old.It was Lin Fei's first birthday this time, and Mrs. Lu didn't care about whether her grandchildren were in good condition or not. In the middle of May, she couldn't wait to call Lin Yu to her and asked what to do for Lin Fei's first birthday.

How could Lin Jue not understand Mrs. Lu's thoughts, not to mention that Lin Fei was the eldest son and grandson, the old lady and Lin Hai had both mentioned it before, so they explained it in detail.

On the third day, Mrs. Lu came over first.

Lin Fei was just learning to walk, and he refused to stop for a moment. He would get angry if he didn't let him go to the ground, making people restless.

Although there are blankets in the room, it won't hurt if you fall on it, but the two nurses can't be at ease.One is supporting, the other is protecting.As soon as Lin Fei's feet touched the ground, he couldn't help running forward with his feet on his feet.

Lu Huixian was used to it, so she wasn't worried at all, but Mrs. Lu was worried, fearing that he would fall.Seeing him so happy, he also rejoiced, and said with a smile: "I haven't learned how to walk yet, so I want to run away."

The big maidservants brought by Mrs. Lu were also around, and there were many more people at once, Lin Fei only thought that he was playing with him, and became more and more excited, picking the direction where there were few people and rampaging.The maids and women rushed to block it.Lin Fei was clever, seeing that everyone was running to this side, he quickly turned in the same direction and ran over at a faster speed, and a group of girls and women turned around and surrounded him.

Lu Huixian saw that her son was a bit more mischievous than before, so she naturally knew why, and she couldn't explain it to Mrs. Lu.Then he dismissed the little girls who usually served Lin Fei and said: "There are no need for so many people, you go down."

Seeing that her daughter was so relieved, Mrs. Lu frowned involuntarily, but didn't say anything.It wasn't until Lin Fei ran too fast that he nearly fell over, that he couldn't help but feel distressed. He couldn't wait for the nanny to hug him, so he got up and went to hold Lin Fei up and down to check carefully. He also complained to Lu Huixian, saying: "There are also you who are such a mother, but you don't feel sorry. Didn't you raise it? I asked myself that I am not such a person. Seeing that your sister and brother also love children, why do you prefer to be like this. What is really falling, I see you Is it useless to cry again then?"

Just for him, on such a hot day, the room is covered with blankets, isn't it because he is afraid that he will fall?What's more, since learning to walk, which day does not fall a few times?Knowing that her mother loves the child dearly, it is not easy to argue, if her mother says something, she will respond.

Mrs. Lu hadn't finished speaking when she heard a noise from the Xianglian curtain, she quickly stopped talking, and then heard someone outside the door saying: "The girls are here."

Today Daiyu is wearing a green slanted skirt and a long white silk origami green bamboo skirt, and her crow's hair is twisted with red coral beads and braided into a braid.She has grown up in the past two years, and her body has also improved. She looks thin, but her complexion is ruddy.After walking all the way, his face was flushed and his forehead was sweating.

Mrs. Lu was wiping Lin Fei's sweat with a handkerchief, but Lin Fei got impatient and struggled to get off the ground.Daiyu clapped her hands after she had asked her, and when she saw Lin Fei looking over, she clapped her hands again and said with a smile, "Brother Fei, do you miss your aunt today?"

Xiangluo twisted the handkerchief and brought it over, gently pulled the skirts of the red silk and dewdrops, and pouted towards the side door, the two of them understood, and quietly went outside.

Lin Fei quickly stretched out two white and tender lotus root arms, and threw himself at Daiyu, yelling "cuckoo".

Lin Jun took a fruit in her hand, shook it in front of Lin Fei, and said with a smile, "Fei'er doesn't want aunt anymore?"

Lin Fei's eyes followed the fruit to Lin Jun's side, and immediately left Daiyu behind and rushed towards Lin Jun.

Lin Jun is fourteen this year, but Lin Fei is so strong that sometimes Mrs. Lu can't hug her, so she is not at ease, so she dare not let go, saying: "You are so naughty, your aunt can't hug you."

Lin Jun already knew that Mrs. Lu would not rest assured that she would hug Lin Fei, and she didn't mind, so she teased Lin Fei for a while, then handed him the fruit, and let him hold and gnaw on it.

Why can't Lu Huixian see her mother's concerns, and it's not good to say in front of her mother that Daiyu and Lin Jun usually bring Lin Fei when they come over. .Just when Lin Fei's nurse came, she asked, "Is the water ready?"

The nanny smiled and said yes, and Mrs. Lu handed Lin Fei to her. Lu Huixian explained, "Don't let him, get up quickly after washing."

The nanny dared not agree in embarrassment, the ancestor became fussy, who can control it.

Daiyu can clearly see Mrs. Lu's thoughts and Lu Huixian's concerns, it is normal.If it were her, she would naturally not take it to heart, but she was afraid that Lin Jun would think too much, so she followed Lu Huixian's words.Hearing this, she laughed and said, "Aside from walking, Fei'er likes to play with water the most. Every time he gets into the water, it's very difficult to get him out." He squeezed his cheeks and asked with a smile, "Is it?"

Although Lin Fei was young, he couldn't understand what Daiyu said, but he knew that what Daiyu said was not good, so he pouted his lips and turned his face away, avoiding Daiyu's hand, humming and complaining to his grandmother .

Mrs. Lu couldn't help being overjoyed, she bowed her head and kissed Lin Fei's face a few times, and said, "My dear, such a little girl knows good things and bad things?"

Daiyu was also happy, and said, "He's a weirdo. He knows how to coax people when he's only a few months old. I don't know what to do when he grows up tomorrow."

Mrs. Lu smiled and handed Lin Fei to the nanny, and said, "I see, this wisdom follows his grandfather."

Hearing this, Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, and said: "My father said that he was not as naughty as Feier when he was a child." Everyone in the room laughed when they heard this.

All of a sudden, the maid brought mung bean soup and various fruits, and everyone ate the soup.Mrs. Lu knew that Daiyu and Lin Jun came here to discuss drinking with Lu Huixian. After all, it was a family matter. It didn't sound too good for her to be here. Seeing that Lin Fei hadn't come out after eating, she couldn't feel relieved, so she got up and said: "I'll go over and have a look. Why haven't you come out after such a long time? Although it's hot, it's not good to stay in cold water for a long time."

While talking, the person has already gone to the bathroom.

Lu Huixian yelled, "Mother, there are girls here." Mrs. Lu waved her hands without even turning her head.

Lu Huixian shook her head with a wry smile, and complained to Lin Jun and Daiyu, "Mother really spoiled Brother Fei so much that she doesn't even listen to me now."

Daiyu and Lin Jun knew that she was just saying a few words, and they didn't know how to love her, so they both smiled and didn't point it out.Seeing them like this, Lu Huixian blushed and laughed too.

After three discussions, the matter of hospitality is nothing more than where to welcome guests, where to have tea, where to change clothes, where to have a banquet, how to set up the stage, how to deploy manpower and so on.

Lu Huixian didn't talk much, she mostly listened to Daiyu and Lin Jun.After listening, just smiled and said: "I said, this time I will leave it to you two to do it, and there will be no mistakes. You are still modest."

Last year, at Lin Fei's full moon banquet, Lu Huixian was still in confinement, so it was inconvenient, so Mrs. Zhao took full control of it.Thinking of Lin Jun's age, Mrs. Zhao wanted her to practice and practice, so she took her by her side every day.It's just that if only Lin Jun is asked to follow, Daiyu will be alone.Thinking again, Daiyu is also eleven, and she has been studying for a while, but it's not too early, but she can't learn much, and it's good to follow the experience, so she took the two sisters with her.

This time Lin Fei was one year old, Lu Huixian wanted to see how the two of them were learning, so she asked them to discuss and come up with a charter.There was a discussion two days ago, and there were a few mistakes. Lu Huixian dismissed it, gave a few pointers, and asked the two to go back and think about it again.Just now, after listening to the narration of the two, Lu Huixian couldn't help but lament that the two of them were clever and meticulous, and they understood each other immediately.

Lin Jun and Dai'er didn't hold back, they held Lu Huixian's arm with a smile, and said with a smile, "Let's see, Sister Xian just wants to be lazy, so she uses this to coax us."

Before she could say a word, she heard talking and laughing outside, Lu Huixian heard Fu Rong's voice, and said, "This little hoof, is it crazy today?"

There was a sound from the Xianglian curtain, and Furong had come in, holding an envelope in her hand, and she held it up with a smile and asked a few people, "Grandma and girls, guess who is the letter?"

Lu Huixian glared at her and scolded with a smile: "There are no rules, why don't you hurry up and bring it here."

Daiyu asked, "Could it be Sister Feng's letter?" After pondering for a while, she said with a smile, "According to the time, it should be here."

Zhang Feng'e was in a hurry to get married, and the Lin family was not a serious relative, so it was not easy for her to go and marry her off.The identity deeds of Yifangren and Liuli's parents sent by the old lady were directly given to Zhang Feng'e, but they did not go to Zhang's house. They were also in Gusu.When Zhang Feng'e got married, they took the dowry from the old lady and the makeup items arranged by Lu Huixian to Liu's mansion.

When Liu Xianglian returned home, she immediately went to Zhang's family to propose marriage with a dowry gift, and they got married in November.Because the two families were far away, they did not return home, and set off for Fujian three days after their marriage.

However, Zhang Feng'e, Daiyu and others have not broken contact, and there is always a letter in January.At the beginning, I only narrated some local customs, and then I talked about some parents' short stories.

Hearing this, Lu Huixian counted the days and was also happy, and said, "It really is a letter from Sister Feng? Get it quickly."

Fu Rong presented the letter, and asked with a smile, "How do grandma and girls reward me?"

Lu Huixian took the letter, looked up at Xiangluo, and said: "This girl is getting worse and worse, and you are loosening the rules now."

Xiangluo glanced at Furong, who had lost her smile for a moment, with a smile, and hurriedly squatted down to plead guilty. After walking such a long way to get the letter back, not to mention that there is no reward, but also punishment, there is really no such thing. We will meet again next time, and I will not go."

Lu Huixian had already opened the letter, and it happened that Daiyu and Linjun read it three times and ignored them.Hearing that, without looking at her, he said to Daiyu Linjun, "I can't say enough about this little hoof."

Xiang Luo pulled her and said softly, "Brother is sleeping."

Fu Rong just remembered, her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to look at Lu Huixian.Xiangluo knew that she was afraid, so she pointed to the side door, and Furong knew that Xiangluo was asking her to go out to accompany Hongxiao and Liuli.Knowing that Lu Huixian didn't blame her anymore, she turned her smile again, nodded hurriedly, and went out smiling.

Furong looked at her back, smiled and shook her head, thinking, she has a good temper.
