Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

Unexpectedly, the eunuch Xia standing in the hall of Rongxi Hall did not greet him with a smile like before, but stood there with a straight face. When Mrs. Wang came out, he cleared his throat and said sharply: "King Jiamen Shi Shuren kneels down to listen to the oracle!"

This was the first time in all ages that Mrs. Wang was asked to kneel down to listen. Usually, everyone would sit down, drink tea and chat, chatting and laughing.

There were many people standing in Rongxi Hall, and they were all a little stunned at this moment, but they all quietly backed away a little as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

Mrs. Wang was even more embarrassed. In the past, the first sentence of Yuanchun's decree was exempt from courtesy, but today she said such words, and she felt a sense of imminent disaster.

When Mrs. Wang knelt down, everyone present knelt down too.Eunuch Xia said: "Recently there have been many rumors in the capital. Although the incident happened suddenly, it has its own reasons. I hope you can stay safe at home and wait for the rumors to pass."

Mrs. Wang is illiterate, and Yuan Chun did not use the style of parallel four Li six, so everyone present understood.

Mrs. Wang's face was flushed, how could this rumor spread to the palace so quickly and let Yuan Chun know about it?

Eunuch Xia finished reciting Yuan Chun's words, his face was full of smiles again, he stepped forward to help Mrs. Wang up, and said: "You don't have to be afraid, the imperial concubine is for your own good." She winked at Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang hurriedly dismissed everyone in the hall.

Seeing that there was no one there, Eunuch Xia whispered, "During the early court today, several censors were impeached. Do you know about this?"

Mrs. Wang was shocked and asked why.

Seeing that she was not on the road, Eunuch Xia sneered in his heart, but his face was unpredictable, and said: "It's all because of rumors in the capital that someone coveted the Lin family's property and colluded with the government to seal her shop..." Madam Wang looked ashamed color, so I clicked to stop and didn't go on.

Mrs. Wang lost her life and didn't get any money this time, so she was only ashamed because she was discovered, and she still hated her.

This time to reprimand Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun did it for the emperor and the officials in the capital, so naturally there was nothing to hide.This time Mrs. Wang was so ashamed, and everyone in the capital knew about it, so they had no choice but to stay behind closed doors for the time being, only to recuperate.

Although the emperor ordered a thorough investigation in the early dynasty, but later he just released the people and let it go.

In the past few days, Zheng Hua's family tried their best to find out the source of the rumors, but in the end they just returned in vain. They only knew that someone did it on purpose, but they didn't know who it was.

Mrs. Wang spent a lot of time pretending to be sick at home these days, so she thought about it a lot. In the end, she suspected that Daiyu did it. Even if it wasn't Daiyu herself, it must have been done by someone from the Lin family, but because there was no evidence, Moreover, Jia Mu's health is getting better day by day, and she can't move Daiyu even more.

Daiyu didn't realize that things were going in a magical direction until she received the letter from Fei Ge. It was such a big deal, but she didn't know if Mother Jia knew about it.For the past few days, Daiyu has been with Jia Mu, and she has never seen Jia Mu ask a word.

Mother Jia was seriously ill this time, and her health was obviously much worse than before. These days, Daiyu was by her side every day, and Mother Jia also thought a lot. Daiyu and Baoyu are the most concerned things in this world. Only when the two of them settle down can they close their eyes.

Without Daiyu's knowledge, Mother Jia was already planning to make an engagement for Baoyu and Daiyu, but now that Daiyu is only 13 years old, the engagement is a bit early.

The weather was warm that day, and Tanchun, Li Wan, and Baochai were still in the council hall in the garden. Suddenly Lin Zhixiao's family came in and said, "The family members of Zhen's family from Jiangnan arrived in Beijing yesterday, and today they are going to the palace to congratulate them. People come to give gifts and say hello."

The Zhen family and the Jia family are old relatives. As for the old way, even Tanchun didn't know. Hearing that the Zhen family came to give gifts, and seeing that the list of gifts was also very rich, he rewarded him with a top-notch seal, and then Send someone back to Jia Mu.

Jia Mu was chatting with Daiyu and Baoqin. When she heard that Zhen's family had sent someone to present gifts first when they went to Beijing, she became interested and ordered Tanchun and others to come and see the gifts again.

Li Wan then ordered someone to collect the gift and show it to his wife before putting it in the treasury.

Jia Muyin said: "The Zhen family is different from other families. The superior Feng'er rewards men. I'm afraid that Zhan Yan will send a woman to pay her respects. I'll prepare the ruler first." Ladies come to greet you." Mother Jia hurriedly asked.

The four women were all in their forties, dressed luxuriously, no worse than the master.After saying hello, Jia Mu ordered four pedals to come, and she thanked them for sitting down. They waited for Baochai and others to sit down before they sat down.

Daiyu sighed in her heart, she had to stand up after sitting down, why bother?

Sure enough, when Jia's mother asked when she would come to Beijing, the four of them hurriedly stood up and answered.

When they asked if all the family members had come, the four of them replied, "The old lady, brother, two ladies and other wives didn't come, only the wife brought the third girl."

They traveled all the way, and only brought the third girl here, it must be for a marriage, besides, Mother Jia never heard that the third lady of the Zhen family has already settled down, so she asked concerned: "Is there anyone?"

Four people said: "Not yet."

When Jia Mu heard that she hadn't asked anyone yet, she didn't want to ask any more questions, so she changed the subject slightly and said, "You two, the eldest girl and the second girl, are very close to us."

Speaking of the young master of the Zhen family, the four said that they were also called Baoyu. After a detailed description, they had the same temperament as Jia Baoyu. Jia's mother became more and more happy, and immediately ordered someone to call Baoyu.

When Baoyu came, the four of them hurried forward, holding hands and asking questions, as if they had seen their own young masters.

When Jia Mu learned that the two Baoyus looked alike, she liked it even more, and called Baoyu to sit beside her.

In front of Mother Zhen's mother, Baoyu sat on the left of Jia Mu and Daiyu sat on the right, and many messages were revealed in her conversation.The four nuns understood after seeing it, and after a few words, they went to pay their respects to Madam Wang, and then went to Mrs. Wang's place.

In the letter sent to the Zhen family before, Mrs. Wang euphemistically mentioned that the third girl from the Zhen family would marry Baoyu to her family. At this time, she heard that Mrs. Zhen brought the third girl, so she hurriedly said that she invited her.

Those four nuns are all needed by Mrs. Zhen's side, and they came this time to see how Jia Baoyu was doing, so Mrs. Zhen could make further plans.Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu was good, but Jia's mother's plan could not be more obvious, obviously she had already chosen her grandson-in-law.

The third daughter of the Zhen family was not born like a concubine like Tanchun, but was born out of the belly of Mrs. Zhen, and she was Zhen Baoyu's direct sister.She was spoiled like a little princess at home, how could she accept such birdishness, so the four nuns declined Mrs. Wang's invitation.

When the four nuns went home and told Mrs. Zhen, Mrs. Zhen was also angry. After arriving in the capital, she heard that Jia Baoyu was entangled with two cousins. One was Mrs. Wang's favorite, and the other was liked by the old lady. I am not very willing to take my daughter to see each other again, and I am even more unwilling when I hear it now.

Two days later, Mrs. Zhen didn't come to visit her, so she took her daughter back to the south.

When Jia's mother learned about this, she just laughed. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what Mrs. Wang's plan is.Therefore, Aunt Xue, who finally learned the truth, was really very angry.

The weather was getting warmer, and Zijuan was sitting and sewing under the corridor of the hotel that day, but Baoyu came.I went into the house to look around but didn't see Daiyu, so I came out to sit and chat with Zijuan again.

Seeing his bored look, Zijuan smiled and said, "Why don't you go to see Miss Si? Maybe our girl is there."

Baoyu said: "I have only been there. Only Sister Yun is here, and Sister Lin and Sister Qin are not there."

Zijuan said again: "Sit here for a while, and the attackers in your house should not worry about it. If you find them, you should go back quickly."

Baoyu also knew the problem of attacking people, but he didn't take it seriously, so he smiled and said, "It's just right for her to find it. There are too many people and the conversation is lively."

Seeing that there was no one around, Zijuan pretended to be unintentional and said: "You'd better come to our place less in the future, so as not to cause people to gossip again."

Baoyu was surprised and said, "What did you say? Who is talking gossip?"

Zijuan pursed her lips and said, "Isn't there a lot of gossips? Besides, I heard that you are about to get engaged, so it's not good to come and play with our girl again."

Baoyu was even more shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Engaged? Who is engaged?"

Zijuan said with a smile: "I heard from the old lady that she is going to order Miss Qin."

Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and Fang smiled and said, "Everyone only says I'm stupid, and you are even more stupid than me. It's just a joke, she has already promised it to Mei Hanlin's family."

Zijuan naturally knew that Baoqin had been promised to Mei Hanlin's family, but she just deliberately brought up the topic of Baoyu's engagement, and then said: "Even if it's not Miss Qin, there are other girls, it's just a matter of time. Will it still be far?" Net does not skip words.

Seeing that she kept talking about this, Baoyu was a little anxious, so he said, "Don't you even know my heart? I just recovered from my illness a few days ago, and now I'm here again." As he said, he gritted his teeth, and then Said: "I only hope that I will die immediately, burst out my heart, you can see, and then even the belt and bones will be turned into a puff of ashes, then a puff of smoke, a gust of turbulent wind, blowing in all directions, and all of them will be scattered immediately." That's good!" As he said, tears rolled down his face.

Seeing that he was crying in a hurry, Zijuan came up and held his mouth, wiped his tears, and explained with a smile: "You don't have to worry, it was because I was anxious, so I came to try you."

The Seventh Chapter: Xue Biao's Engagement

The Seventh Chapter: Xue Biao's Engagement

Because there was no one coming and going at the Qinfang Gate Bridge, Daiyu and Baoqin went for a walk there. A few days ago, Daiyu wrote a letter asking Housekeeper Lin to inquire about Mei Hanlin. It’s just that I’m a little weak. I heard that I have been studying at home and rarely go out.

Daiyu then told Baoqin to let her go.
