Edge of the Red Chamber

Lu Huixian just came back and was talking to the old lady.First I talked about the bustle of Xu's family, then I talked about Mrs. Chen Fourth's dress and behavior, and then I talked about the two girls of the Chen family. After finishing, I said: "Princess Chen Qi is very fond of Princess Chen, and she is always with her. I see It seems like you want to stay by your side."

The king of Beijing County is fifteen this year, but he hasn't gotten married yet.

The smile on the old lady's face faded, and her brows frowned.After a while, he stretched out again, and said with a smile: "Which family doesn't pay more attention to marrying a daughter? In our eyes, Yan'er is naturally very good, but it may not be so in the eyes of others. On the other hand, Chen Everyone sees that the girl in their family is naturally one in a million. Didn't we also look at several houses, lest the girl might wrong Yan'er. The king of Beijing County is a dragon and a phoenix, how can Yan'er compare? If the concubine is really If you want, the Chen family is naturally willing, and it's only because Yan'er doesn't have the blessing to marry their girl."

It is precisely because of my own family that I have to step on it, and the more outsiders, the more I have to talk about it.In fact, the old lady felt that Lin Yan was better than Shui Rong.

Although he persuaded himself in his heart that the girl from the Chen family might not be so good, he still felt unhappy.

Lu Huixian didn't know how to answer the conversation, so she heard the outside woman say, "Young lady is here."

There were a few more beeps, and then the door curtain rang, and Daiyu came in wearing a big red feather satin cloak.

Seeing Daiyu, the old lady was really happy from the bottom of her heart. Seeing her wearing a snow cap, she asked, "Is it snowing outside?" Then she ordered her rosary, and said, "Pour some hot tea."

Daiyu said: "It's only been a while since the snowdrops fell." The wooden fish came up to wait for her to untie her cloak, and Daiyu handed the stove to the red silk.

Lu Huixian said: "It wasn't down when I came back, why did it come down all of a sudden?" Then she said: "It's strange that it's getting dark, and I said it was getting dark early."

The old lady asked Daiyu to sit by her side, reached out to touch her hand, and said angrily, "Why do you come here when it's snowing?"

Daiyu put her hand into the old lady's with a smile, and said, "It's not cold at all."

The child was very angry, and Daiyu's health has improved over the years.Older people are just the opposite, getting colder as they get colder.Daiyu's hands are naturally warmer than the old lady's, and besides, it is also the filial piety of the children, so the old lady can't say any more reproaches, saying: "If the weather is bad, you should do less sewing, and don't read books, you will damage your eyes carefully. "

Hearing this, Daiyu laughed and said, "I didn't do it this afternoon. My second brother said that the pot of Phalaenopsis that Dad got in spring will bloom in a few days. I'll go to the greenhouse to see the flowers."

The old lady also laughed when she heard this, and said, "Is this coming in from the outside?"

Daiyu nodded, and said: "I came here directly when I came in. I went there by coincidence. It will only open today. When the weather is better tomorrow, I will teach my second brother to move in and show you. You must like it."

"Oh?" The old lady's heart moved, she glanced at Lu Huixian, then turned back calmly, still joking with Daiyu, and said: "That's a good relationship, I'll also feast my eyes on this rare thing."

The old lady was busy passing the meal, and said: "If it snows tomorrow, don't come here."

Daiyu said: "I just came in, and I smelled a cold fragrance outside the door. When I came in, I found that the wintersweet plant was in bloom. It will snow tomorrow, so I can enjoy the plum blossoms. Why don't you invite the third aunt and sister Jun to come over?" , let’s have a good day by ourselves.”

Lu Huixian was also a playful person when she was in her natal family, so she was very willing. Looking at the old lady's face, she tried to say: "In the morning, I will send people to cage on the kang. I will also put some vegetables and meat on skewers from the village. Let's cook it with wine around the stove and keep it cold."

The old lady laughed and said, "Your sister-in-law is determined to ask me what to do again? If the arrangement is comfortable for you, I'll go for a stroll. If it's not good, I won't go. I won't suffer anyway." Everyone in the room laughed.

After the meal, the old lady said she was tired, and everyone dispersed.

Lu Huixian wondered what the old lady meant, and wanted to invite Lu Huishan to come to her house to enjoy the flowers.Of course, viewing flowers is secondary, mainly to find out what the Chen family means.If the Chen family really has the intention of marrying the Beijing Prince's Mansion, they will throw it away and not mention it, and it will save the Chen family from making it difficult.

Lu Huixian thought about it, so she couldn't help asking a few more questions.

Daiyu will come over immediately and ask: "Sister Xian wants to invite someone to enjoy the flowers?"

Lu Huixian was taken aback for a moment, then she understood, and said with a smile: "I thought it would be the twelfth lunar month, so I'm afraid I won't be free. I just heard that this rare thing bloomed today, so I wanted to invite my mother and eldest sister to my house." For a day, I just don’t know if they have time.”

As soon as Daiyu heard that Lu Huishan was there, she understood something in her heart, and said with a smile: "If you invite someone else, it will be difficult; if you invite your wife and aunt, the eldest brother will steal a few pots in."

Lu Huixian knew that she was smart and understood the joints, so she couldn't help being funny; but when she talked about Lin Jue, she couldn't help but get hot.

There was a fork in the road ahead, and the two walked separately.

In the evening, it snowed again, and the wind became stronger. The sticks on the lanterns danced in the wind, and the stringed beads hit the glass wall, making a "ding-dong" sound.Xu Shi was in a good mood, and didn't feel noisy, and it was actually a bit pleasing to the ear.

Yu Cheng tucked his hands into his sleeves, and the lantern in his hand was tilted to the side of the road.Suddenly he asked Daiyu, "Is the second master's good news coming soon?"

Daiyu and Hongxiao were both taken aback for a moment, then laughed, Xiangcheng, who never thought about it, would think about it.

Sure enough, within a few days, Lu Huixian started to arrange the flower viewing, and invited no one else but Mrs. Lu and Lu Huishan.

I want to go to the greenhouse, but the greenhouse is built over Lin Hai's study, which is very inconvenient.So I only moved a few pots, except Phalaenopsis, and a few pots of seasonal orchids, some common ones, and some rare treasures.

Because they only invited their mother and daughter, and there were few people, they did not invite the theater troupe, but only invited a few daughters and sons, just for fun.

Daiyu and Lin Jun only came to say hello, and then hid in Zhang Feng'e's house.

They also sent a daughter over to entertain them, but neither of them liked to listen to it very much.It's okay to just sit for nothing, so Lin Jun said, "Have you added any new books recently?"

The female son replied: "There is a book about the ruins of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, which is about the settlement of cases. I don't know if girls like it or not."

Only now did Lin Jun and Daiyu become more interested, and said, "Talk about it first, and then talk about it if it's better."

The first lady said: "This book says that in the Tang Dynasty, Lord Di, the inspector of the Eight Houses, passed by outside Jinling City. He passed a small forest, and he didn't go out after a quarter of an hour. The people at the bottom said it was a ghost." Master Di didn't believe it, and ordered people to look inside to see if there was a grave. Everyone didn't believe it, so they walked in, and there was indeed a grave. Master Di knew that this person must have been buried before he died. He was wronged. He put a stick of incense in front of the grave and said: "I already know, don't worry, now that I know, I will definitely return your innocence." Sure enough, after Master Di said this, he was good to go Mr. Di secretly inquired, and it turned out that the son of a squire, surnamed Jin, was buried in the grave. He was called Jin Ge. He had been dead for more than [-] years. Knowing that there must be grievances, it is very easy to find out the reason through open and secret investigations. It turns out that this Mr. Jin was an official in his ancestors, and he produced several Jinshi. He is a family friend with another local squire named Wang, and the Wang family has only one girl."

Hearing this, both Lin Jun and Daiyu understood.Lin Jun leaned close to Daiyu's ear, pouted her lips, and said in a low voice, "I thought it was something new, but it turned out to be about wit and beauty, which is the most boring thing." Daiyu glanced at her and said nothing.

"Born with a beautiful face, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, her maiden name is Wang Xifeng."

Speaking of this, the girls burst into laughter.Because Daiyu and Lin Jun didn't say anything, the girls didn't say anything, they just laughed.The lady doesn't know what's going on, but if it's not good, Daiyu and Lin Jun seem to be listening with gusto.

She often walks around the big family's house, and sees a lot of fights. Seeing that the masters don't speak, she just pretends that she doesn't know, and continues to speak.

"When I went out to offer incense that day, I didn't want to meet the young master of Jinling prefect. Mr. Qin fell in love with Miss Wang at the first sight, and immediately sent someone to propose marriage. Mrs. Wang was a little moved when she saw the power and influence of Mr. Qin's family. Withdrew from the marriage of the Jin family. Master Jin is a person who accepts death, thinking that he has already made a marriage, how can he withdraw from the marriage, and refuses to withdraw. In this way, Mrs. Wang is even more determined to withdraw. Master Jin somehow knew that the in-laws proposed marriage He said, "How many families do you want a girl?" Mrs. Wang didn't follow her words, so she filed a lawsuit. Mrs. Wang remembered what the old sister-in-law in the lotus nunnery who often Shangxiang said, and entrusted her. Promised three thousand silver, found the grandma who was in charge of a certain state's mansion in Chang'an at that time, and sued the Jin family for wanting to ruin her daughter's reputation, and the Jin family naturally complained. The yamen has benefited, so why bother so much, dragged Mr. Jin to the yamen It was just a beating. Mr. Jin was pampered and spoiled since he was a child. How could he bear it? Young Master, he was born as Young Master Jin's man, and died as Young Master Jin's ghost, and when he saw that his parents wanted to marry her to the Qin family, he was hanged to death with a rope."

Xiangcheng was the first one who couldn't bear it, and continued: "Needless to say, I already guessed it. Master Di was very aware of the details, and soon the case was revealed to the world, and then he begged King Yama in his dream to teach the two of them to be reincarnated. A good family, and then be a husband and wife."

The daughter said with a smile: "Miss, have you ever heard of this book?"

Crystal said: "We followed the girls and heard a lot, even if we didn't hear it, we guessed it."

The daughter-in-law said: "So the girls know about it."

Xiang Cheng said: "Actually, these books are just a set."

The daughter said: "Girls don't listen to this book, or play a set of music and listen to it."

Lin Jun asked Daiyu, "How is it?"

Daiyu said: "I can do whatever I want, what do you think?"

Lin Jun then said: "That's all, you go ahead and see if the old lady likes to listen." Then she motioned for Luzhu to hand a purse in, and then ordered a little girl to lead the way.
