Edge of the Red Chamber

The time for the palace examination had already been set, Lin Yan did not dare to neglect, and studied at home every day.

Today, a post was delivered on the door.At that time, Lu Huixian and others were all in the old lady's room. Lu Huixian took a look at the post, and the old lady asked, "Which family is it from?"

Lu Huixian put the post on the high table casually, and said: "Miss Xue's family has thirteen salutes, please let me watch the ceremony."

There was no contact between the two. The old lady didn't think of it at first, and she came over later.This time when there was an accident in Jia's mansion, Xue's family avoided seeing her. The old lady also knew that she looked down on Xue's behavior very much, so she said: "They are not serious relatives, and they have not been in touch with each other in previous years. Since they sent a post, it is theirs." Mind, you prepare a few things and send them over when the time comes, and that's all if you do your best."

Lu Huixian answered yes, while Daiyu said, "It's really annoying."

They used to live in Rongguo Mansion, and the two families seemed to be on good terms.Jia's mother treated Xue Baochai just like her own daughter. Mrs. Wang regarded her as her own daughter because she had only one biological daughter and could not see her face.If there are three springs, Baochai has them; if there are no three springs, Baochai also has them.At that time, the family went up and down, and no one knew that she had already betrothed to Baoyu.Who would have thought that the Rongguo Mansion was in decline, so they agreed to others.

The old lady laughed, and said: "You child, after all, you are the elder." Daiyu lowered her head and did not respond, so she knew that she was not convinced.

Lu Huixian wanted to teach her, so she took her hand and said: "Be wise and protect yourself, everyone in the world is like this. Isn't it also sung in dramas? The brothers of the Zhou family turned against each other for the sake of family wealth, and Chen Shimei killed his wife and son for the sake of future. But we haven't seen it with our own eyes. I didn’t take it seriously. But think about it carefully, if there is no such thing, how can I write it? After all, this is a minority, and Mrs. Xue is not such a person. Sometimes I think, if I were Mrs. Xue, I would encounter such a thing , and dare not interact with them. After all, I am not alone. There are old ladies and gentlemen on the top, your eldest brother and second brother and you in the middle, and Feier Minger below. If it is for them, I will teach you to suffer along with me. Wish. This is also a difficult thing for people, you can’t just say who is right and who is wrong. If you think about it, is this the reason?”

The words made Daiyu speechless, Aunt Xue was just alienating Jia's family, she didn't make trouble, and it was indeed a good thing.

Unexpectedly and unexpectedly, Lin Yan selected the number one scholar, but stayed in the Imperial Academy.

Back then, those who thought that the Lin family had lost the favor of the emperor, like the Sun family, came to congratulate them one after another when they saw this, fearing that they would be a step behind others.The grandson Shaozu is also a character, and he didn't blush when he chased Lin Ju and Lin Yan to call him elder brother.

No. [-] Qian Li is from Jiangxi, and he and Concubine Wu Gui’s natal family are old relatives. He followed the Wu family’s path and filled the vacancy in Baiyun County, Guangzhou. Zhou Guiren’s cousin sought out the vacancy in Tongzhou, and one of Li Xiang’s students went to Hangzhou... ...Nothing else, even Tanhua Qinming, who came from a small family, got a good job.

Lin Hai also took a walk, and Liu Xianglian entered the Ministry of War to study.

Before the Lantern Festival, Goguryeo violated its borders. Luo Changping asked for an order to go to war, and Emperor Qinghe agreed.Before the expedition, the fifth princess gave him a marriage, and they got married when he returned victorious.

Mrs. Ji didn't go with her, so she stayed in the capital.

Maybe it was because of the good weather last year. Although there were incidents of Goguryeo's violation of the border, this Spring Festival was three or four points more lively than previous years.

It had been fine all the time, but unexpectedly the sky changed just after entering February. On the tenth day of the lunar new year, it began to snow sparsely.Gradually, it gradually grew larger, and at night, it was already a vast expanse of whiteness, and there was no one on the opposite side.

Hongxiao was a little worried, seeing how the snow was falling, it seemed that it would not stop for three to five days, if it was still like this tomorrow, it would be good.

It was sunny the next day, and Zhang Feng'e was the first one to arrive, pointing at Daiyu and smilingly said to the old lady: "As expected, she is a blessed one, even God takes care of her."

Although Daiyu didn't say anything, she was actually very happy. She said: "Yesterday, I was thinking that the snow was going well. When Sister Feng and you all come, we will just enjoy the snow and drink, but it will stop again."

Seeing her insincerity, Mrs. Chen pointed at her, turned her head and said to the old lady: "The old lady looks at her mouth, she has taken up all the good things, and she still said these words to insult us."

Lu Huixian also came over, ignored Zhang Feng'e, first smiled and said to Daiyu: "Just a word for you, I will put everything else aside and deal with yours first. How can you thank me if you have made up your mind?"

Before Daiyu could speak, Zhang Feng'e asked first: "It can be seen that you are sisters-in-law of direct relatives, and no one can understand what you say."

Lu Huixian looked at her and said, "I asked you to come two days earlier, but you took money from your aunt and put on airs and refused to come. Now you are blaming us, who is to blame?"

Seeing that they were talking lively, the old lady also joked, saying: "My daughter-in-law's words are very fair."

Zhang Feng'e said with a smile: "the old saying is good, no matter how good the girl is, it belongs to others, and no matter how bad the daughter-in-law is, it belongs to me, let alone a married girl like me?" Then she said to Daiyu, "you can see, my son today It's your tomorrow, you still laugh, and there will be times when you cry in the future."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a person outside saying: "Hurry up and tear up this mouth, you can't say good things, but you have a set of words to sow discord." The Xianglian rang, and Cui Jiayi came in.

I saw her wearing a gorilla felt cloak and a Guanyin pocket, stomping her feet, saying: "I'm so cold, the sun is out today, it's colder than it snowed yesterday."

Zhang Feng'e took the cloak, handed her the small hand stove in her hand, took it from her, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of the cold like this? I just came back from Fujian, and I'm not like you."

Cui Jiayi accepted it with a smile, and said, "My sister still loves me."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Don't say that first, I'll wait for you to tear her mouth apart."

Cui Jiayi walked over with a smile, and said: "When you saw me, you didn't even say to greet me. Let alone that, I will speak for you to be fair, but you didn't say you accepted my love, but you still picked my fault. This is bad Sweet girl, let's see who will dare to speak for you in the future."

Daiyu said: "You are in the same group, I opened my mouth, I am stupid and stupid, I can't talk to you." Then, she got up and snuggled up to the old lady, and said: "You two big bullies, the old lady will look at me It's on."

The old lady patted her hand with a smile, and said: "Okay, the old lady is in charge of you. This door is big, and I'm already a mother. I don't know how to let my sister do it." Thinking of something, he looked embarrassed, and said: "This one is the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and the other is the daughter-in-law of the Yu family. As the saying goes, how can I manage the water splashed by a married girl?"

Before finishing the sentence, everyone laughed, Daiyu leaned into the old lady's arms, and said unyieldingly: "Even the old lady bullied me."

After everyone talked and laughed, the two wives Jia Mu and Xing Wang came, and Tanchun, who was picked up by the Nan'an Palace, also came.The old lady's place was full of people, so Daiyu quietly pulled Zhang Feng'e out and said, "The Zhuangzi sent good roe deer meat, let's go to the garden to cook the meat."

Cui Jiayi was the first to say hello, and said: "You still have the heart. You invited us to dinner once that year. I always thought about when to invite you back, but I never had a chance. A few years have passed, and I I also forgot about this matter, if you don’t want to, it’s you who thought of it first.”

When they came in, the stove was already on, the barbed wire was put on, and the table was full of vegetables and meat.Everyone sat down around the stove, picked their favorite food and put it on the barbed wire.

Zhang Feng'e rummaged through a piece of robe meat, and said with a smile, "Have you explained everything? Don't teach those little things, otherwise, we will not live in peace." The two of her family and brothers Lin Fei and Lin Ming said yes.

Daiyu said: "Why didn't you explain? I told Sister Xian behind Fei'er and Ming'er's backs, and I also specifically explained to the nuns, saying that today's snow is heavy and they are not allowed to enter the garden."

Cui Jiayi dipped a brush in oil and brushed the meat. The oil on the brush dripped into the charcoal, and a few flames appeared. She hurriedly took it back, and turned the meat over with chopsticks.Hearing the words, he didn't look up, and said with a smile: "You are also a mother like this."

No name was named, everyone knew it was Zhang Feng'e.

Zhang Feng'e was not annoyed, she looked at her and smiled, and said: "We are right, don't talk about each other." Zhang Feng'e left the child behind her, and Cui Jiayi did not give in.

Everyone laughed.

Daiyu always ate less meat, so she picked a few slices of vegetables, and Tanchun sat on her right hand, but she loved meat, so she picked the robe meat, and told Daiyu that they enjoyed the snow and ate venison in the Grand View Garden that winter. Things, when it comes to the place where you enjoy yourself, you can't help but sigh, saying: "It's just that you are missing."

Seeing her yearning look, I'm afraid she is still thinking about the glory of the past, and thinking that she is now in the Nan'an Palace, he temporarily suppressed what he wanted to ask, and said: "There will still be opportunities in the future."

Tanchun seemed to know what Daiyu was thinking, and sighed: "Although the locust tree Zhuangzi is poor, the whole family is together. After all this, I feel that this kind of life is happier than before. But the princess came to pick him up in person. I also said that it is the concubine, and the ancestors also agreed, so can I say it or not?"

It turned out that it was Jia Mu's intention, and Daiyu nodded, not agreeing in her heart.But the matter has come true, it is useless to talk about it, instead it made her feel uncomfortable, so she said: "This is because the concubine loves you," and asked: "How about in the mansion over there?"

Tanchun smiled and said: "Okay, the concubine and the concubine are both kind and friendly, and the concubine treats me like her own daughter." Speaking of this, he thought of someone and said, "I'm afraid sister Lin doesn't know, Yun My sister is also in Huaishu Zhuangzi now."

It's not our family, but Huaishu Zhuangzi, which shows that she may not be unwilling.Daiyu sighed secretly, in fact, people in this world are ordinary people, no one is willing to abandon their glory and wealth, and they are willing to be poor.

She didn't expect that Shi Xiangyun was still in the capital. After all, she had some friendship. After hearing about her, Daiyu was naturally happy, and hurriedly asked, "Then why didn't you come today?"

Tanchun said: "I asked the same thing about the old ancestor. The old ancestor said that her good news is coming soon, and she is doing work at home."

Hearing this, Daiyu was also happy for her and said, "Which family is it?"

Tanchun laughed, then suddenly realized.Although there are laws and regulations in this dynasty, the crime is not as good as a married woman.The Sun family still can't tolerate the Spring Festival, Shi Xiangyun only has a marriage contract with Wei Ruolan, and the Wei family doesn't have to fulfill the marriage contract, no wonder Daiyu asked this.I'm afraid he thought that the Wei family broke the contract, and Shi Xiangyun made another marriage.Sui said: "The Shi family is a few days behind us. We were busy with Sister Feng's affairs, so we didn't think about it for a while. When we remembered to inquire, the Wei family had already picked up the person. The Shi family has no one, because the days are approaching." That's right, the Wei family found the old ancestor. Although she is not from our family, she can be regarded as growing up in front of the old ancestor, so it is reasonable to leave our house."
