Old things in the Red Chamber

Apart from celebrating birthdays and getting married and having children, the excuses that nobles can use to hold a party are watching plays, flowers and snow...

At this time, the weather is better, and the blooming flowers are the season for viewing flowers.So this flower viewing feast touched the minds of the upper classes in the capital.

Not only the upper-class people, like the second-class and third-class people, are also gearing up at this time, thinking about sending their own girls to the palace, and they will be a noble person in a few years.

Although Jia Gu and his father didn't want the children in the family to participate, Qi Jing'an didn't think so. She cried for a long time at night, but was finally coaxed to sleep by her husband. I ran to my mother-in-law, thinking about getting her to speak up, no matter whether it was the father-in-law or the husband, no one could say anything against it.

"Let me tell you if this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Besides, the girl in our family and the prince in the palace can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. In addition, when the time comes, my natal family will work hard, and our family will The master is also going up, looking around, there are really not many who can head-to-head with our girls."

Mrs. Tong didn't want the girls in her family to enter the palace, but she grew up in Beidi and was unwilling to admit defeat.Hearing the daughter-in-law said so much, she immediately nodded and agreed, "You are right, no matter whether our child can enter the palace or not, but we can't lose this momentum, now hurry up and find someone to cut clothes for the child and make new jewelry. Definitely We must dress up our children decently."

Regardless of what the mother-in-law was thinking, she achieved her goal and happily managed it for her daughter.

Lin Daiyu was so exhausted that she let her maid rub her shoulders at night and complained to her husband, "It takes a lot of hard work to do this kind of thing. Although I have to do it, it's still too much effort. Fortunately, my sister-in-law is with me. Share it, or else I'm afraid that something will go wrong and the matter will not be handled well."

"I know you've been tired for the past few days, so I'll rest at home tomorrow, and my brother and I will sort things out again."

Lin Daiyu sat there blankly thinking for a while and saw that no one in the room was holding her husband's hand. "I'm always restless in my heart now. I haven't dreamed about my parents in the past few years. You said..."

"It must be that your life is going well, so they don't bother you any more."

Lin Daiyu nodded her head, as if she recognized her husband's words, the two of them blew out the candles and lay down, talking nothing until dawn.

The next day, the whole family was assigned to the garden except for the head mistress and the maidservants beside the head mistress.

From the flowers put down everywhere to the railings everywhere and then to the changing places everywhere, it took two days to check clearly and eliminate all potential safety hazards. The whole family cheered up to welcome the flower fair. girls.

On the day of the Flower Fair, fewer adults came, and even if they came, they would just sit in the pavilion or upstairs, and would not move around at all.The girls scattered in the garden in twos and threes, either because they met some new sisters, or because they had a better relationship with the previous ones.

In less than half a day's time, the garden was full of Yingge Yanyu, and the girls' cute laughter spread from every corner.

At this time, the Ninth Prince seemed to be restrained, and was about to enter the garden. He tidied up his clothes and asked the accompanying readers, "Look at my clothes again, are there any serious problems?"

The people around them suppressed their laughter, "Don't worry, Your Highness, you are really handsome right now, you are handsome and unrestrained, and you are not afraid of flirtatiousness... The last sentence is easy to say, anyway, you are handsome anyway."

Knowing that what others said was extremely careless, the Ninth Prince still gained great courage from it.

Taking a deep breath, he gently pushed open the corner door, and slowly moved inside.

This journey was extremely difficult, and from time to time, a few little girls could be seen in the distance. These little girls were not very old, and all of them were innocent. In addition, there were a lot of flowers and plants at this time, and they picked flowers and fried them everywhere. To fight grass together.

And when the weather is hot, there are more mosquitoes. To avoid meeting these girls, you must also avoid some mosquitoes. The Ninth Prince has worked extremely hard, but after seeing so many girls, there is still no one he likes, either fat or fat. If he lost weight, either his voice was too high-pitched, or his face was too round, in a word, none of them satisfied him.

The eunuchs who followed him were in a hurry at the moment. It was almost noon, and these girls would definitely go back to eat, and they would calculate after eating, and they might not be able to meet the righteous masters by then.In addition, this young master didn't think of which girls to focus on meeting at all, he only cared about picking faults here, and they went up to remind them when they had to.

"The person we are going to meet today is not here, but by the pond in the northwest."

9 The prince just remembered that he came here with a mission today, but he couldn't help complaining unhappily, "Since you know they are in the northwest, why did you let me enter from the southeast corner, just watch them go back and finish the job, why bother?" Go around in such a big circle."

"You can't just marry a main concubine, side concubine and others? If you like it..."

The Ninth Prince waved his hands, motioning them to stop talking and leave here quickly, otherwise it would be another trouble if someone overheard them.

Although he didn't want to cause trouble, trouble would cause them after all. After walking a few hundred steps, he saw a girl in brocade crouching on the ground picking up leaves.

The Ninth Prince signaled the eunuchs to drive the girl away quickly, but the girl was stubborn and refused to leave no matter what.

"I promised my sister to pick up leaves here. When she comes back, we will see which one of us picks up more. It is our filial piety to take it back for my mother."

In the end, the girl refused to leave, the weather was really hot, the Ninth Prince could only stand out from behind the tree, but the girl didn't see the man panicking at all, which made the Ninth Prince wonder if he was here Specifically to block their own.After that, without saying a few words, I knew I was thinking too much.

This chick is a silly girl. According to her, their family gave birth to a pair of twins back then. One was an older sister and the other was a younger sister. They also heard the rumor that the twins were unknown, so they sent the younger sister to a village in the countryside, and later picked her up. return.This is the first time I went out with my family after I haven't been back for a few days.Because my mother is not in good health, I heard people say that the leaves of trees planted are good for my mother’s health, so I made an appointment with my sister to pick up the leaves here. She is in the south, and my sister is in the north. When the two sisters meet in the afternoon, Let's see who picks up the most and who picks up the cleanest ones, and bring them back together for mother to use directly.

"You are such a silly girl. You have been picking it up until the afternoon. What do you have for lunch?"

"Just now, my sister's maid brought me a pack of snacks." The silly girl was still flattered, "They are all exquisite and delicious snacks. I heard that my sister is not willing to eat them, so I gave them all to me." .”

The Ninth Prince thought that your sister didn't eat dim sum because she knew there was a banquet at noon.Looking up, the sun had already risen to the mid-heaven, and asked the eunuchs on the left and right, "Is it too late to rush over at this time?"

The people on the left and right nodded, "According to this time, the girls should go to lunch."

"In that case, stupid girl, take out the snacks, and I'll treat you to a banquet, what do you think?"

The stupid girl on the opposite side thought about it for a while and felt that the deal was very good, she nodded immediately, and after a while, someone brought a special table of noodles. When eating, his actions are rude, but one thing worth noting is that although this person eats something rude, he does not dare to drop it on his clothes and eats carefully.

Inexplicably, it makes people feel sad.

"Hey, have you heard? This time you are choosing a concubine for the Ninth Prince. Which family is your family? If you have a good family background, maybe your family can produce nobles."

"The Marquis of Changwang's Mansion is our home. However, the nuns in my family all said that my elder sister might become a concubine."

"Do you two look exactly alike?"

The silly girl nodded while eating, "It's almost the same, but my mother can tell the two of us apart at a glance."

Such a stupid girl is really rare in the world. As a human sperm, the Ninth Prince has lived in a playful environment since he was a child. This is the first time he finds such a straight-hearted person cute.

"Do you think that if you are chosen to go..."

The silly girl over there thought for a while, with a chicken leg in her mouth, and after thinking about it, she said vaguely, "Our mother said that the royal family doesn't like a girl like me."

"Don't talk about your family, just talk about you, have you ever thought about it?"

The silly girl shook her head embarrassingly, "I like Brother Ergou above Zhuangzi."

Being compared by a country boy, the Ninth Prince was not angry, and said to the silly girl with emotion, "Do you know that you escaped a catastrophe? It's alright, alright, go back when you're full, don't wait for you." Sister, your sister lied to you."

The silly girl still didn't believe it, "It's not true, my sister never lied to me, and gave me a lot of good things. I didn't want to eat the bag of dim sum just now, so I left it for me."

"I just said you escaped, but now I see that you haven't climbed out of the fire pit, and I will help you for the sake of my temper. You stick out your ears, and you will talk to your mother like this when you go home. explain………"

The Ninth Prince lay beside his ear and muttered a few words in a low voice, causing the little girl to hide and ask him, "Why did you ask me to ask such a question?"

"I have a relative who is also a twin, and he was not treated by his mother since he was a child, but he has skills, unlike you, so if you don't have skills, you have to find someone who has skills, but you just don't like him." If you are capable, I can only help you here.”
