Aunt Lin of the Red Chamber is here

Carved saddles and embroidered bridles compete for entry, bringing the fragrance of the world of mortals.

When stepping on the flowers on March [-]th, it is the spring scene that is about to die.According to the old folk customs, on this day, all women, young and old, must personally pick a basket of flower branches that have not withered, offer clear water as a sacrifice, and pray to the southeast direction to thank the Flower God for auspicious omens.Although it is only an unwritten custom, women are happy to do it no matter how high or low they are in the Xuan Dynasty; offering flowers in late spring, begging for cleverness on Qixi Festival, and watching lanterns during the Lantern Festival, these three days are rare for women to relax. At that time, it was jokingly called "Daughter's Day" by literati and scholars, which is quite interesting.

Lin Qingwei stood on a small stool, stood on tiptoe, and plucked a brilliant peach blossom. Her fingertips, like onion tubes, and a delicate rattan basket, set off the bright colors in her eyes, which made people feel reverie implicated.

Quickly sorting the flowers, picking up the withered and yellow petals, Lin Qingwei focused and solemnly placed the two or three snow-like pear blossoms among the clusters of peach blossoms.

"Your Highness is so skillful—" Tsing Yi looked at the fresh and tender flowers in Lin Qingwei's basket with a little admiration: "In the past, the servant girl only thought that the pear blossoms were too plain white and the peach blossoms were too red. According to Your Highness's words Come on, one is a fairy, and the other is a witch; but looking at them together now, there is no conflict!"

Picking up a basket that was no bigger than two palms, Lin Qing smiled and said, "One clean and one beautiful complement each other, and you have done the same. I think Lu Yan and the others should be fine too. Let's go there! Where is the incense table located?"

Tsing Yi hurriedly came forward to ask Lin Qingwei to get off the low stool with her hands. Hearing the words, she replied: "It's at the small pool to the east of Zhuangzi. The spring water in the pool is drawn from the mountain. It's very clean and sweet. I want to come to the flower god Will like it too!"

After holding incense in front of the incense table and worshiping with palms together, Lin Qingwei's eyes fell on her side, seeing Lin Daiyu's peaceful expression, eyes full of devout prayers, Lin Qingwei slightly pursed her lips and smiled.

"Since my brother has received grace, you might as well spend a few days on my village to relax your mind; when you enter the court again, it will be full of wind and rain, and there will be no peace—" After offering sacrifices to the Flower God, Xiao Lin Xi then clamored to hunt hares in the woods behind.Lin Daiyu was so pestered by him that she saw that her aunt and father had something to say, so she let him go.

This piece of Zhuangzi, together with a short hill behind it, was privately owned by Lin Qingwei when the late emperor was alive.There are a lot of products on the mountain, and Lin Qingwei often comes here to rest, and the people below don't dare to slack off, so the Zhuangzi is well managed.

Lin Ruhai picked up the teacup on the table next to his hand, and the blue tea soup inside was still rippling in circles: "Sis sister has a heart, how can brother not obey orders? It's just that the court is really mixed with fish and dragons, and it looks like a pool of still water There is no wave, but in fact, the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is all over the building—" Thinking of the things the emperor mentioned to him after he entered the palace, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, Yu'er and Brother Xi have younger sisters to take care of them, otherwise they would , brother is really stretched and helpless!"

Hearing this, Lin Qingwei picked up a small golden jujube and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste made her frown, and spit out the core. She took out the Luopa from her sleeve and wiped the corner of her mouth, took the Tsing Yi The water for rinsing mouth was served: "Brother is being polite. At this time, he was promoted to the post of Zuodu censor in the middle of the capital. In fact, the emperor's brother took a dangerous move after all; Zhongshun is a lot confused now, but he is not a fool." Don't worry, he and I have some quarrels, and if the emperor's elder brother takes any action against him and fights back, he will definitely bear the brunt!" She lowered her eyelids, and there was some self-blame in her voice: "Speaking of which, elder brother has fallen into such a situation , three points are my fault!"

Seeing his sister's dejected expression, Lin Ruhai couldn't help feeling a little distressed.This only younger sister is 15 years younger than her own age. To put it in a joke, she is almost regarded as a junior; later she was brought up by the former emperor in the palace, and the number of times she met each year was very small. Weeping, every time this matter was mentioned, I repeatedly told him to love Lin Qingwei well in the future...

Lin Ruhai looked at the corners of his younger sister's reddish eyes, and sighed softly: "Why should my younger sister blame herself? My Lin family has always been loyal to the one on the throne, and the principle has always been that eating the king's salary is a matter of being loyal to the king, and being loyal to the prince." What you have done is already disrespectful, and my brother should do his duty as a courtier—" Standing up, walking in front of Lin Qingwei, patted her on the shoulder: "Over the years, how much my sister has done for the Lin family, who is my brother compared to? We all understand that if there is no younger sister, our Lin family is afraid of..." He gave a wry smile and said no more.

For a while, the room was silent.

Lin Qing raised her face slightly, with two faint smiles floating on her cheeks: "Brother, let's stop talking about these disappointing things, now, Yu'er is recovering, and Brother Xi is also very well-behaved, This is the blessing of our ancestors, and the Lin family is blessed!" She started talking, and her voice had a strong nasal cavity: "Now, brother, you just need to be at ease and boldly follow the arrangements of the emperor's brother to do things. Be loyal and obedient Can't help me!"

She was not joking. After all, the late emperor had been in power for many years. I am afraid that only the late emperor knew the depth of the water in the wind guard besides Lin Qingwei, not to mention that Lin Qingwei had a secret guard himself.

Lin Ruhai knew this somewhat, and nodded in response when he heard the words.

"Brother Xi, run slowly! Be careful of the stones under your feet!" Lin Daiyu panted, fixed her eyes on the cheerful little figure in front of her, and hurriedly pointed to Xue Yan and urged: "Xue Yan, go up and follow Brother Xi!" , look at him, it will be bad if he falls asleep!"

She stopped and walked slowly, Xueyuan Xuefu behind her hurriedly came forward to hold her arms one by one: "Young lady has walked a lot this trip, let's find a place to rest for a while! "

Although Lin Daiyu's body has been taken care of in the past few years, she is a girl after all, and her physical strength is not good enough, let alone Lin Xi's age when she loves to have fun?After listening to Xueyuan's words, Lin Daiyu calmed down and looked in Lin Xi's direction from a distance: "With Xueyan and Mianpei following, we can't imagine anything wrong. If so, let's sit in the pavilion over there." In a moment—”

The three master and servant sat down in the small pavilion specially built to rest with people in the fruit forest. Who would have thought that it would be less than half a cup of tea, when they heard screams from the other side of the forest.

Lin Daiyu was so startled that she stood up all of a sudden, she could tell that the childish voice clearly belonged to Lin Xi! "Brother Xi, brother Xi!" After reading a few words anxiously and at a loss, without caring about other things, she picked up the hem of her skirt and went to the other end. After running for a short distance, she stopped and turned around. Turning to Xueyuan and Xuefu, he said: "Xuefu, go and inform your aunt and dad! Hurry up!"

Xue Fu froze for a moment, quickly turned around and ran out.

Xueyuan thought more, and was busy holding Lin Daiyu when she was about to continue running there: "Girl, girl! Let the servants go and see first, if something happens, Xueyuan will be there too." Be quiet!" She is the most careful of the four servant girls around Lin Daiyu, and she thinks a lot; this is the property under the name of the eldest princess, and ordinary people dare not approach it. Now that the eldest princess is here, she has even sent guards Patrolling around in turns, if something really happened to the young master, it might not be an ordinary thing——Thinking of this, she shuddered, and her heart hung high.

As soon as she reached the other side of the woods, Xueyuan saw Xueyan holding Lin Xi in her arms with a pale face, and Mian Pei beside her also had dull eyes, full of fear.

Following the gazes of the two, Xueyuan gasped for breath and staggered back two steps.

I saw a man throwing himself on the ground, with disheveled hair, tattered white clothes stained with blood, revealing a scarred back, obviously injured by a sharp sword; the whole person could not see the original appearance at all, Xueyuan boldly glanced again, and there was a long bloodstain on the ground, so she hurriedly looked away.

Thinking of something, she hurriedly bent down and shook the snow geese, seeing that she was still in a daze, she had no choice but to stand up and run in the direction she came from just now, meeting the panting Lin Daiyu.

Covering Lin Daiyu's eyes with her tiptoe, Xueyuan's voice trembled: "Miss, don't look, brother Xi is fine, you should turn around first! Her Royal Highness will be here soon!"

Lin Daiyu was a little confused, but even though her heart was extremely anxious, after hearing Xue Yuan's words clearly, she still turned around without looking.

After a while, Lin Qingwei and Lin Ruhai rushed over together, seeing the scene in front of them clearly, Lin Qingwei shrank her pupils, and gave the order decisively: "Xueyuan, Xuefu, Xueyan, take the girl back, Tsing Yi, hold Brother Xi Go to the courtyard of the palace, let Lu Yan guard it, and then hurry up and find Doctor Yun!"

"Yes!" Seeing this scene, Tsing Yi's heart trembled, not daring to delay for a moment, and hurriedly started to operate according to Lin Qingwei's instructions.

——————————The Xue family moved out of Rongguo Mansion, the dividing line gentleman——————————

Xue Baochai sat peacefully in front of the carved window, holding the embroidery frame in her hand, and bit off the silk thread attached to the needle; the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window had already blurred the clouds, and she watched the scene with ecstasy, Thinking of something, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

"My son, I have figured it out!" Mrs. Xue lifted up the curtain by herself and came in. The rows of pearls under the soft green curtain collided with each other, and it sounded very pleasant to Xue Baochai's ears.

Putting down the completed handkerchief, Xue Baochai stood up and went forward. Hearing this, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and he helped Xue Wang to sit down in front of the window: "Mother, what did brother say?" After Mrs. Wang made an agreement, they asked Xue Pan to tidy up the Xue family's house in Beijing. Fortunately, although the house had not been lived in for some years, there were still a few old servants guarding the gate, so it would not be ruined badly.

Wang Xue looked at her daughter's unconcealed joy, felt a little sour, and nodded: "Although the old lady is smart, she always stays in the house after all, and your brother has a few friends outside to help you get started quickly." Let’s collect the luggage tonight, let your brother take the big ones out through the ear door, and say goodbye to the old lady tomorrow!”

In the main room of Lixiangyuan, the lights were on all night.

Perhaps it was really because she was in a good mood, even though she only slept for two hours last night, Xue Baochai was still in good spirits.Sitting in front of the dressing table, she carefully spread the rouge in her palm and applied it to her cheeks. The face reflected in the Linghua bronze mirror suddenly became much brighter, and she looked radiant when she looked at it.

"My son's makeup is very good today!" Mrs. Xue stood behind her, admiringly said with a smile, and personally took a gold and silver peony filigree hairpin with pearls from Ying'er, and put it on for Xue Baochai: "That's how it is. , although my daughter's family should be law-abiding, but she should also dress brightly!"

Jia Mu was having breakfast with Jia Baoyu, when she heard rumors that Aunt Xue and Miss Bao were coming, she frowned slightly and then relaxed.

"Sister Bao, why do you want to go?" Jia Baoyu anxiously pulled Xue Baochai's sleeve and dangled it, and ran to Mother Jia again: "Old lady, please leave Sister Bao and Auntie behind, let's stay together Wouldn't it be nice to be happy?"

Jia's mother also looked at the Xue family mother and daughter who were neither humble nor overbearing in surprise. How could she have thought that it was the maid beside her who broke her mouth for a while and made it like this?After all, it was the old fox. Many things flashed through her mind, and Mother Jia calmed down: "What's wrong with my aunt? Why did Hao Duanduan want to move out all of a sudden? Could it be that the servants below have neglected you? Let me tell you, my aunt, I will vent my anger on you!"

After all, Wang Xue has been the mistress of the Xue family for many years. Hearing this, she still smiled amicably: "What did the old lady say? Didn't she offend me? It's just that when I first entered Beijing, it was because The house at home hasn’t been cleaned up, so I borrowed to live in the house. The old lady loves us, and she doesn’t think our family is troublesome! It’s just that Pan’er came back a few days ago and said that the house has been tidied up, so it’s better to move back; Today, I feel sorry for myself, and when I think about it again, Pan'er and Chai'er are both grown up, and it won't look good in the future if something happens in a hurry, so I agree!" Before she finished speaking, Xue Baochai came from the side Ying'er took a gold-painted heart box in her hand, opened it and put it in front of Jia Mu: "This is the wish of the younger generation, let the old lady work!"

Jia Mu looked at the box full of pearls, and if she took it, it would not be nice to say it, so she pretended to be angry and said: "The aunt is looking down on the old woman, how can this be used between relatives!" Rao is She has a lot of private property, and seeing the pearls in the box are all plump and round, she also feels a little painful.

"The old lady said that, so we really don't know what to do!" Aunt Xue asked Xue Baochai to put the pearl away with a helpless expression: "But our house is not far from the house, and relatives will come and go in the future. Still cheap!"

Jia Baoyu's obsession had no effect at all. Xue Baochai looked at his pitiful eyes, although she couldn't bear it, she just comforted him a few words, and was dragged by Jia Mu to say a few words, and followed her Mother left.
