Continue the love affair of the red mansion

It was time to change their spring clothes, and all the Sanchun sisters were sent new clothes by Sister Feng, just in time to wear them for the spring banquet, but Jia Mu asked Daiyu to be summoned alone.Daiyu was full of doubts, and still helped Zijuan to come, but she saw Sister Feng coming out of it, and when she saw Daiyu, she smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, if you don't come again, I won't have you." Yu's arm: "Come with me, the old lady has something good for you."

Puzzled, Daiyu followed her in. Mother Jia was sitting on the kang talking to Yuanyang. When she saw her coming in, she smiled and beckoned her to come over: "Come here, Yu'er, and see if these dresses suit you."

Daiyu looked at those sets of dresses, and felt a little startled. The sets on the table were neatly folded and brand new, and the silk brocade was plain and light. Most of them were the snow green and water blue that Daiyu loved. There are also tooth color, apricot color, etc., the color is simple and elegant, and the workmanship is more complicated and delicate than the daily female workers in the mansion.Then Jia Mu said: "I know that your family in the south has sent you new clothes. Your aunt is really a careful person. It's not in vain that your parents have taken a fancy to her. But these few clothes are mine. This old lady's intention, even if it adds makeup to you, you must not dislike it."

Daiyu then understood that Mother Jia bought it for herself, so she had to accept it, and Sister Feng urged Daiyu to change it.

Daiyu couldn't push it, so she first chose a brocade skirt with a cloud swallow pattern, brocade blue neckline, dark patterns on the cuffs, two exquisite and unique green calyx on the neckline, and a pleated palace skirt with excellent drape underneath. The palace sash is elegant, her hair looks demure like a beautiful flower shining in the water, and her movements are like a weak willow supporting the wind. Sister Feng took two steps back and looked carefully: "Ah, where did this fairy girl come from?"

Daiyu blushed slightly and spat, "Sister Feng is here to make fun of you again."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Why did I make fun of you? The old ancestor said yes. People often say that the old ancestor favored Sister Lin. If you ask me, Sister Lin's character and behavior are not to be loved by others?"

Mother Jia smiled and nodded.Yuanyang smiled and said, "This dress is only suitable for Miss Lin's personality. The old lady's eyesight is the same."

After Sister Feng left, Mother Jia took Daiyu's hand and said, "I know what you want to ask, and I will tell you now that the spring feast in a few days is unusual. Many daughters of noble relatives in Beijing will Come on, you have to compete with some piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings. I know your temperament, and I am afraid that you will disdain this, so I just called you here, just to tell you a few words. It is not a few years ago now. Girl, but there is a bit of beauty and talent, who doesn't want to be strong, and puts all his strength to compare everyone? It's not for this mansion or for me, an old woman who is half buried in the loess, but It’s for yourself, your ancestors were five generations of princes, your father was Tanhualang, your mother was not my bragging, and she was one of the most beautiful ladies in this capital back then, so you can’t be underestimated.”

Daiyu naturally understood what Jia Mu meant, but her family didn't care much about entertaining relatives and nobles, fighting for glory and boasting.

The Spring Banquet was held in the Grand View Garden, the male guests were all in the Aojing Convex Bi area, and the female guests were resting in the Nuanxiangwu.Mrs. Jiamuwang's wife, Mrs. Xing, sat with several high-ranking officials, while Fengjie Li Wan was looking after the rest of the female relatives. Looking at the water, playing Shuanglu, throwing pots, swinging, playing chess, even fighting talents to recite poems, doing everything, the garden is full of warblers, flying swallows and dancing, and it is necessary to ask my own girl to take care of it.

Yingchun has always been dull in speech, seldom spoken before others, Xichun was young and withdrawn, although Lin, Shi, and Xue are good friends, they are all relatives, only one Tanchun is left, but he is from his own family. Concubine, but it can barely support it.

Daiyu had no intention of competing for the top spot, and was too lazy to socialize with others, so she just pulled Xichun, took the fishing rod, and set up an embroidered stool under the peach blossoms by the water, fishing for herself, but she took the hook again. .Xichun looked at it strangely and said, "Sister Lin, why did you remove the hook?"

Daiyu looked at the vast blue waves and the peach blossoms across the shore, and said with a slight smile: "Although I am fishing, I don't want to fish. For this clear spring, I have a pure heart and a peaceful mind, which is quite comfortable. Although I don't want to fish, what's the problem?"

Xichun heard this, tasted these words, and before he could speak, someone beside him clapped his hands and laughed, "Sister Lin has actually realized enlightenment now." Xiangyun came out from the side, smiled and said, "There used to be Jiang Taigong fishing, Those who wished took the bait, and now Sister Lin is doing the same, I don’t know which Holy Master Mingjun will take the bait again.”

After hearing this, Daiyu spat and came up to tear her mouth open, and said with a smile, "You little cloud girl is getting more and more open-minded, talking nonsense."

Xiangyun smiled and hid behind Baochai, who was following behind, and asked her sister Bao to protect her. Baochai just pushed her away: "You have done it yourself, just tear your mouth apart, and no one will make any noise. Instead, we should chant Amitabha Buddha."

The four of them were having a good time, when Baoyu's girl, Qingwen, came and said angrily, "The girls are all here, go and have a look, someone is making things difficult for the third girl."

Everyone was surprised, Baochai said: "All the girls who come here today are from officials' families, how could someone be so rude?"

Xiangyun sneered and said, "Sister Bao doesn't know, but now there are some daughters of officials and eunuchs in Beijing who are used to being pampered and have different temperaments. Our family doesn't have them, but they are so tricky and weird."

She was unintentional, but she didn't know that there was something wrong with what she said.Baochai's family is an imperial businessman, and among a group of princes and ladies, they are humble. The family seldom interacts with the high-ranking officials and relatives in the capital, and cannot enter the circle of famous ladies in the capital. Ma'am, it's hard to put it face to face, but now that Xiangyun's words touched this point, Baochai's heart sank, but her expression remained the same: "I really don't know."

Daiyu's eyes were calm, like Huanbi, she got up and brushed off the flowers on her clothes: "Let's go and have a look before we talk."

So the four of them went to Ouxiangxie with their maids.
