[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

On the day of Daiyu's big wedding, after asking her ancestors to visit her parents, Daiyu will be dressed and dressed by Xi Niang.

Yanyu looked at her well-dressed younger sister, and her smile became more charming, which made Daiyu a little shy: "Sister, why do you look at me like this?"

"Yu'er is so pretty!" Yan Yu said with a smile.

Daiyu rubbed rouge on her face, and a faint cloud of clouds floated on her cheeks. When she smiled sweetly, she was as delicate and charming as a peach blossom in the first bloom.

Xi Niang also laughed and said, "Second Miss is really the most beautiful bride we have ever seen!"

Yanyu glanced at Xi Niang out of the corner of her eye, seeing that Xi Niang also had a face to face, but remembered that Xi Niang said the same thing when she got married.

Before the auspicious time came, the two sisters were still talking, when they saw Sister Feng, who had sent her relatives off, bring Tanchun and Xichun in; Sister Feng smiled loudly when she saw Daiyu sitting in front of the makeup mirror: "Congratulations, Lin Er Sister, second sister He Xilin, happy marriage." Tanchun, who was following Sister Feng, also chuckled and echoed the second sister-in-law's words, but Xichun only had a smile on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Yanyu.

Yanyu had noticed Xichun's strangeness at first, but she was so focused on Daiyu that she couldn't care about others.

"Thank you, Lian's second sister-in-law." Daiyu smiled slightly with downcast eyes.

"Cousin Shi and Sister Lin are getting married, it's a double happiness of getting closer." Tanchun also said with a smile.

Yiqing served a bowl of purple taro milkshake, Yanyu took the bowl and brought it to Daiyu, saying softly, "Eat something to pad your stomach."

Daiyu's attire was obviously heavy and unusual, she turned her body slightly, and the pearls and chan in the phoenix crown on her head swayed and made the crisp sound of pearls and jade colliding; after drinking a small bowl of purple taro milkshake, Daiyu put it aside.

Xi Niang reapplied Daiyu's makeup again, and heard Yiyan report that the wedding procession had arrived and that the new son-in-law was calling the door.

Sister Feng covered her lips and said with a smile: "Our new uncle was born in Tanhualang, so it may not be rare to get him."

There is also particularity in blocking the door for welcoming relatives, usually it is the bride's brother who comes out to block the welcoming people outside the door to make things difficult.When Yanyu came out of the pavilion that day, some cousins ​​and brothers came out to block the door, Yanyu didn't know what was going on, and later she only heard Mu Yun mention it a few times.

"Girl, Uncle Yan and Eldest Uncle have also gone out." Yiyan said immediately upon hearing that.

Yanyu's face darkened immediately.How old is Yan'er, what is it for Mu Yun to take him out to block the door?I'm really not afraid that Yan'er will be hurt by pushing and jostling outside.

When Sister Feng heard it, she smiled and said with emotion: "Brother Yan is so old in the blink of an eye, he will come to block the door for my sister."

Daiyu just listened with a smile, her younger brother was happier than she was when she was praised.

I don't know how the outside is making things difficult for the new son-in-law who came to welcome the bride, and it took a long time to hear the outside singing that the new son-in-law is here to welcome the relatives.

Xi Niang took the red hijab and unfolded it, and sang: "The first cover raises the eyebrows, the second cover flies together, and the third cover is forever tied together." Daiyu's face was covered by the red hijab, and she grabbed Xi Niang beside her in a panic. Niangcai whispered softly, "Don't worry, the bride."

Seeing Xi Niang helping Dai Yu out of the house, Yan Yu suddenly felt lonely. From then on, her younger sister would become someone else's wife.

"It's a happy event for the second young lady to come out of the pavilion, don't be too sad for the eldest aunt!" Mammy Liu said after seeing Yanyu's dejected expression.

"Yu'er has left the cabinet..." Yanyu muttered in a low voice before she nodded, "I'm very happy." Even though it was a self-deceiving rhetoric, she was willing to bring her most sincere blessings to her sister for this passage. Good luck and blessings.

She just hurried towards the front hall in a daze, when she heard the sound of firecrackers approaching, Yanyu stopped in the corridor, silently watching Shi Jin and Daiyu bid farewell to their parents, and went out together in the crowd sedan chair.

Yan Yu didn't know where she was going in her deep thinking, until she heard someone behind her say: "Now the second girl has also left the cabinet, you should rest assured!"

Looking back, he saw Mu Yun standing behind him, he was wearing a black robe, and he seemed to have a good appearance.

"Life is long, and it's still far from peace of mind!" Yanyu just shook her head.

"Counting the time to live is very tiring, it's better to relax." Mu Yun patted her on the back and said gently.

Yanyu casually raised her head and glanced at the scorching sun, then raised her hand to cover her forehead, and said in a light tone, "Don't forget, there is someone staring at my sister with malicious intentions."

It means Fairy Jing Huan.

Mu Yun frowned. Sure enough, An Sheng had lived for too long, and he didn't remember that there was still this great god watching over him.

Sending the bride out, the Lin family held a banquet to entertain their relatives and friends. Yanyu followed Jia Min, and halfway through the banquet, Bai Bai came over to Yanyu and whispered next to Yanyu: "Princess, just now the fourth girl of the Jia family came to say that she wanted to talk to you in private. say."

Hearing that it was Xichun who wanted to meet her in private, Yanyu turned her head in surprise and was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.

After a while, Yubai came back and said that Xichun was waiting by the waterside pavilion, Yanyu got up and walked towards the watersideside pavilion.

Sitting on the railing beside the waterside pavilion, Xichun looked coldly at the lotus pavilion in the pool, until she heard Yanyu's footsteps, she turned her head: "Sister Yan." There was no smile in her eyes, she just said indifferently.

Yanyu motioned for Yubai to wait outside the pavilion, and stepped into the pavilion alone.

"Fourth sister, what's the matter?" she asked.

"Sister Yan, I—" Xichun hesitated to speak, with a hesitant expression on her face, she bit her lower lip and bowed her head in silence.

Yanyu looked at her carefully: "But, what happened?" She remembered that Xichun used to have a bright personality, but she rarely saw such hesitation.

Xichun seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage, she moved the corners of her lips and said: "Sister Yan, I heard, I heard that Sister Bao is going to be a female official in the palace, maybe she won't come out of the palace? "

Baochai has entered the palace and served as a female official in the Department of Historical Records for three years. After three years, she returned to the palace with honor, that is, last month.

But Baochai sent a message to her mother and elder brother outside the palace that she was appreciated by the female official Si Ji, and she will take over as the female official Si Ji when Ning Si Ji returns to her hometown next year; as long as she keeps her duty in the palace, she will As a female official of Si Ji until Ru Ning Si Ji returned to the palace with honor.

"Yes, I've heard about it too." Yanyu nodded.

"Sister Yan, I, I also want to enter the palace, please choose female officials." Xichun bowed her head in silence for a long time before muttering, "This is my only way out - I don't want to be like the second and third sisters, because when I reach the age , I am about to marry and become a woman. I want to live for myself, just like Sister Bao, and escape my predetermined fate by entering the palace and becoming a female official."

Yanyu is still unbelievable; Jia's family already has Yuan Chun who is a concubine in the palace, so there is no need to send another girl into the palace. Moreover, the situation of Jia's family is not as good as when Yuan Chun entered the palace. Xichun may not be lucky enough to be selected as a female official .

After thinking over and over again, Yanyu decided to ask the reason: "But grandma and the others have already arranged a marriage for you, are you not satisfied with this marriage?"

Xichun still shook her head: "No. Sister Yan, it's just my choice."

Seeing her determined expression, Yan Yu had no intention of stopping her, so she could only wish her all the best.

"But, Sister Yan..." Xichun seemed to have something to say to her, but hesitated again.

"Huh?" Yanyu asked.

Xichun clenched a corner of the hem of her clothes, hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Sister Yan, do you think I can do it?"

Yanyu dared not say this casually: "I have never seen the selection of female officials, so I can't tell you about it. But you are very good-looking, you just need to be careful in everything, and you should be able to get what you want." But remembering that Xichun said that she wanted to be a female officer of the History Department, she asked again, "But why do you want to be a female official of the History Department? I have seen the female officials of the History Department in the palace, and they may be a little different from what you think."

Xichun still insisted: "Sister Yan, I know it. But only the Department of History and Records is a clean place in the palace. I don't want to get involved in this right and wrong place. I just want to find an inch of peace in the palace. Live well." In fact, there is another reason, which is that it is said that female officials in historical records are more likely to be admitted than other female officials, and she naturally cannot explain this reason.

In this way, Yanyu felt that Xichun's temperament was not suitable for entering the palace.Wherever there are people, there will always be disputes. Even a well-behaved historian needs a woman like Baochai who can be successful in both ways; Entering the palace to escape as a female official, but if she can't be the head of a department like Baochai, she will also leave the palace to marry after three years.

"Sister Yan, I just want to fight for myself again, even if the result is not satisfactory, I will be happy." Xichun slowly let go of her hand, and her tone became firm.

"It's good that you can think about it. Life is not easy." Seeing that she thought so, Yanyu could only follow her.

"Thank you, sister Yan, for making up my mind for me." Xichun sighed, and made a gesture to thank Yanyu. Yanyu quickly supported her: "Don't say such things again! If you can be selected as a female officer, that is Because you are really good, not because of what other people say or do."

Xichun hesitated and said, "Then what if I can't be selected as a female officer?"

Yanyu's expression remained unchanged: "That's because your fate is bad, and you just missed a good time."

Xichun has always been smart, so she immediately understood Yanyu's meaning: "Sister Yan, thank you, this time I really understand."

In fact, Xichun's situation in the Rongguo Mansion is not good. She is the young lady of the East Mansion after all, so she is only a relative with the Rongguo Mansion; People speak lightly, but everyone can really speak for her.Shi Taijun also took pity on Xichun, so he took her over and raised her as his own granddaughter, but even the servants of the Rongguo Mansion would say that she was a girl from the East Court when they mentioned the fourth girl, and Xichun was even more cold-eyed in the Rongguo Mansion.

As for Xichun's election as a female officer, Yanyu didn't think her chances of being selected were great.Especially for the female officials of the Department of History, Baochai will also avoid it in order to avoid suspicion, and Xichun may not be able to enter the Department of History again.
