Old things in the Red Chamber

Lin Daiyu was really interested, she sat up straight and looked at him, "Who is it? Fourth Master heard that the girl from which family has a virtuous reputation?"

"I'm a man, how can I hear the reputation of the woman in the backyard? You are digging a hole for me to find out the truth, right?"

"Where did fourth master go?" Lin Daiyu shook the handkerchief, "I don't want to talk about it, I'm busy here."

"Sit for a while, if it's hot today, you too, don't worry about it."

"There are a lot of things to do. Just you two, I can't stop worrying about it. Whose girl is the fourth master not talking about?"

"Whose family could it be? The Miss Xue you know."

"Her?" Lin Daiyu said with a stern face, "It turned out that fourth master was making fun of me. Everyone in my grandparents' family knew that because of her, the old ladies and wives in the family have been fighting for several years."

"I really didn't lie to you. Although I don't often walk on the street, I always want to know what gossip is going on in this capital. Otherwise, the emperor will be annoyed when he asks three questions. 'What's the use of you', I was full of sourness and no one said."

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Fourth Master, I know that Fourth Master is working hard outside, so I came to this cup of tea to reward Fourth Master, thank you for your hard work at home."

Gu Yun took a sip, "Let me tell you, you don't know, the gossip outside has become that your cousin is not married to a girl from Xue's family. Let me tell you, you should also find a chance to tell their old lady." One sound, it's not good for your cousin to be so stubborn at this point."

"Why don't I know this truth? It's just that each side has their own persistence. Forget it, they are them and we are us. It's our friendship. As for what they do, we don't have to worry about it."

Gu Yun nodded at the side.

The situation in the capital is turbulent, and it is only serious to leave early.

Jia Gu took half of the family generals, and Jia Huan took half of the family generals. The father and son parted at the gate of the city. Mrs. Tong sat in the carriage and watched her husband and son go south and north. There was a tearful person.

"In the past, when they went on an expedition, they had a few more months and a few days less, so I couldn't stop worrying about it. Now, Xun'er has been away for a few years and took Nan'er away, which really broke my heart. "

Mrs. Tong was out of breath crying to Lin Daiyu with her handkerchief, kept scolding Jia Huan and his wife, and took away both granddaughters and grandsons, leaving only a baby girl who was just full moon. Hateful heart.

For the sake of this baby girl, she has to rush home as soon as possible, and she cannot be left alone. The time of her birth was very embarrassing, her grandfather and father were concerned about the situation, and her mother was busy packing, and moved to her side three days after she was born. Now It's been a month, and the cruel parents haven't given her a name, and they have been calling "Si'er" and "Si'er" all the time.

"You go back with me to see the child. It's only a full moon now. Learn well and give the child a good name."

On the way back, Lin Daiyu had to talk to Mrs. Tong more to ease her mood slowly, "The two older sisters above her, the eldest sister is called Xuan'er, and the second sister is called Fu Rong, or you can get her a grass tree." My name, Chajing."

"Well, it sounds better than lotus, plum and wintersweet. That's how it's called."

While talking, the carriage swayed and entered through the gate. From today on, the door will be closed here.

Lin Daiyu had a meal at Zhongwuhou's Mansion, took her leave, and ordered to go to Rongguo Mansion on the way.

Life in the palace has become really difficult for the concubines.

In the past, everyone drank some tea, raised potted flowers, and fed a cat and dog. One day passed. The emperor was in his prime, and the rain and dew were evenly exposed. Sooner or later, everyone would have a child.Not anymore, before dawn, everyone has to come out of bed, first go to the Queen's Palace to say hello.

The queen took them to where the queen mother was, served the queen mother and had breakfast, a group of people went back to the queen's palace, and then served the queen's breakfast. Procrastinate until lunch is over.Those with high status can still have a plate of snacks to cushion their stomachs, and sit in the same seat. Those with low status can't get food or drink from morning to night.

The most important thing is that the queen is domineering, and what is eaten in the palace is used for whatever purpose. Unless the emperor speaks up, no one can have a hairpin.

Here, many people saw the jokes with the concubine at the beginning, who didn't know that this guy was sitting in the concubine's position, enjoying the honor of the concubine.But the queen pretended not to know, and heard people in the queen's palace say in private, "There are three young highnesses, so it's worth spending a little more."

Which family's princes and princesses eat with their mothers, their portions are richer than their mothers.

For this matter, everyone squinted at Concubine He, yes, she is blessed to have raised three children.

Concubine He was too frightened to say a word, and took an extra step. For this matter, no one else said anything, and the Ninth Prince was so angry that he wanted to smash the bedroom.The older he gets, the more he knows, and a certain thought in his heart will grow taller and taller like weeds without being provoked by others.

The royal child grew up very fast, and he was already calculating the resources in his hands where his mother and people around him didn't see it.The little guy was sitting in the hall, holding a brush in his hand, dipped it in ink, and slowly drew a big turtle on the rice paper, and then changed to a pen to carefully trace the pattern on the turtle shell.After finishing the painting, I wiped off my sweat and said in my heart, "This is my cousin's family."

Picking up the pen again, I can't write it for a long time. This is the only natural alliance. The Rongguo Mansion can't be regarded as an alliance. They don't even have the qualifications of Conglong.

The Ninth Prince put down the brush and was staring at the turtle on the table in a daze. The eunuch who was serving him looked at it and thought that the master had been scolded by the emperor. The most proud thing in the past was drawing turtles. I can't get up.

"Master, I heard that the lotus in the imperial garden is blooming. Let's invite His Royal Highness Eleven to play together?"

Before the Ninth Prince could speak, the nurse in charge scolded him first, "Well, you are a naughty slave. You don't know how to persuade the master to make progress, and even kidnap the master to play. You wait on the pen and ink all day, and you don't know that the master's homework is not finished. Don't you hurry up and change the ice, and then wait for the master to wash his face." Then he said to the Ninth Prince in a kind tone, "You still have six large sheets of paper to write on. The words are people's faces. This is to Work hard."

"Thanks for your hard work, mom, I know you are doing it for my own good, so I will start writing right now."

"Hey..." The nurse in charge rubbed the ink again, watching the Ninth Prince lift the picture of the turtle and began to write with his wrist, she was relieved. The news just came that the Seventh Prince beat the people around him, Because his nanny in charge took too much care, he reprimanded the maids around the Seventh Prince.

This incident made the stern nanny's heart pounding, seeing her little master getting older every day, not to mention the eunuchs, even those thoughtful maids came forward, the more difficult it is to discipline these things people.

"Why are you sighing?" The Ninth Prince glanced at her.

"Mommy remembers my young master when he was young. He was only a little bit older, but now he has grown up suddenly."

The Ninth Prince likes people to say that he has grown up, and the more people say it, the happier he is, because as long as a person grows up, he will marry a wife, listen to the government, have his own power, and protect his mother. Concubine and siblings...

"Mommy, don't say that in front of people. Otherwise, people will say we are frivolous. I'm only a little older. When I grow up, Brother Seven is already an adult."

"You said so."

After writing for an hour, he wrote a few more sheets, selected them specially, and put them in a box. This will be shown to the master tomorrow. As long as the master likes himself, he will definitely say good things about himself in front of his father. This is enough up.

"Go to the mother's place, and please greet the mother."

Seeing that noon had passed, but the sun was still very strong in the sky, Mammy didn't dare to have other opinions. A group of people followed him to the Queen's Palace on foot. The Queen was taking a nap, and only Princess Changsha would play in the palace. Because the princess is the queen's adopted daughter, she has a higher status than other princesses, but since she was young, she didn't interact with outsiders, and she was very shy when she saw people.

The queen had only recently started to raise her, and the rest of the time, it was all up to the nuns to take care of her.Now seeing his brother coming, he hurriedly hid behind the big tree. At this time, the Ninth Prince became interested in catching cats with her. The two circled around a tree, and the children's laughter kept echoing in the yard, noisy The queen woke up from her nap.

"Lao Jiu and Changsha are outside?" she asked.

"Yes, ma'am, it's the Ninth Prince who came to greet you. The old slave said that you took a nap, so he went to play with our princess."

The queen nodded, "Got it, go and see if there are any melons and fruits, wash them and give them to them."

After a short while, the Ninth Prince brought Changsha over. The Ninth Prince has a characteristic, he is the kind of thick-skinned child. When he sees the Queen, he is very affectionate. He kneels down on the couch and pulls the Queen's sleeve." Empress, my son misses his empress, so I'm here to greet you."

"Hou'er, tell me, if there is anything for the queen mother to do, you, I don't know, you are the most dishonest."

"I can't hide anything from you. My son just told my sister about the affairs outside the palace. My sister was very envious. I heard that it will be the second uncle's birthday in a few days. When the time comes, what reward will the mother have for the son to go on errands? Bring my younger sister along, and let her see what it's like outside the palace."

As soon as he said it, the queen remembered that Gu Yu's birthday was only ten days away.

Seeing the flattering smile on the Ninth Prince's face, I felt a lot more comfortable, "You are also interested, and you still remember your uncle's birthday, well, the queen mother promised you, when the time comes, you will take you to Changsha to celebrate your uncle's birthday go."

The Ninth Prince scratched his head, "That's not it, how can I remember my son's temper, a few days ago the wife of the Marquis of Zhongwu came to the palace to greet his mother and concubine. After her grandson, their family will give the second uncle a big gift at that time. After all, they are in-laws."

In front of the queen, as long as the matter is not related to the three princes she gave birth to, she is a very powerful woman.Stretching out his hand to touch Princess Changsha's head, he naturally knew why his brother betrothed his daughter out in such a hurry to guard against this woman, Concubine Xian.

The corner of her mouth twitched, "That's right, Yanyan is your uncle's daughter, and it's enough to match the eldest grandson of their marquis." The queen doesn't care if she is qualified or not, she sent the two children away, Glancing towards Concubine Xian's palace, she thought to herself, "Let's wait and see."
