The Lady of the Red Chamber

The boring days always pass quickly.

As soon as Yun Qingxuan opened her eyes one morning, looked at the white sky light coming in from the window, and heard the faintly lively congratulations in the courtyard, she knew that the New Year was coming.

Bai Lu and Bai Shuang walked in holding bright red clothes, seeing Yun Qing slowly waking up, they smiled and wished respectfully: "Miss, Happy New Year."

Yun Qinghu's mood immediately improved, she held the quilt with her small hands, squinted her eyes: "Happy New Year to you too."

After getting dressed and washing, Yun Qing slowly sat in front of the dressing table, opened the multi-treasure box, took out two exquisite and cute little red envelopes, and put them in the hands of two personal maids: "Bailu, Baishuang, New Year's Eve! good."

In the red purse, there are nine gold and silver lockets each.There are pen ingots in the style of Ruyi, and there are also the styles of the top scholar, which are full and bulging, and the small purse can hardly cover it.

Although Bai Lu Baishuang is a big maid, this is the first time I have received such a generous reward. I was surprised, and immediately knelt down to thank: "Thank you, miss."

Yun Qinghuan quickly pulled them up and squeezed their hands: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and we want to be happy. There is no need to be so restrained."

Turning around again, he picked up a small comb and combed the two strands of hair that were parted in front of him: "Let's hurry up, and go to say hello to father and mother earlier."

When entering the main hall, it was a rare surprise that Yun Qingxuan was not the last one to arrive.

Because of the Chinese New Year, the whole family of Zhen Guohou gathered for dinner during this time.When Lin and Yuan saw Yun Qinghuan, who was as festive as a red envelope, their eyes overflowed with joy and love: "Hurry up, come quickly."

Yun Qinghuan greeted all elders and brothers, said happy new year, and sat between the two of them.

Yuan shi scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it in front of Yun Qingxuan, and said lovingly: "Yesterday, it was a sacrifice to the ancestors, a palace banquet, and a New Year's Eve. I didn't sleep until I was tossing around. Didn't I say that today's one Don't you need to get up early? Why are you here?"

Yun Qing held the spoon slowly, and said with a smile: "I can't sleep, I want to see my mother and aunt soon."

When Yuan Shi heard this, she immediately smiled, pointed at Yun Qing and supported Lin Shi and said: "We are really painful, I can't blame everyone for liking it."

Lin didn't speak, just smiled and watched Yun Qingxuan playing tricks there, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief from time to time.

While talking, Yun Qingyu came in.

Yun Qingxuan looked at Yun Qingyu's black cloak with glistening and conspicuous snowdrops, and asked curiously, "Second Brother, is it snowing again?"

"That's right." Yun Qingyu rubbed his hands next to the stove after paying his respects, "But they're all ice particles, so it's boring. It's not as good as the swan's feathers and snow."

Seeing the two brothers and sisters discussing the snow scene in this way, Mrs. Lin said with a gentle smile: "Well, how about you each write a poem for this snow couplet? Only then can you live up to the beautiful scenery."

Although Zhen Guohou and Yun Zhengran have been drinking tea, their minds are also on this side. After hearing this, they nodded repeatedly and stroked their beards: "Very good, very good. Yu'er, you are an elder brother, so take the lead first." .”

Yun Qingyu: "..."

Yun Qingyu held back for a long time before he managed to choke out an ordinary line of poetry.

Zhen Guohou didn't know much about the elegance of these literati, so he just looked at Yun Qingchi and said, "Chi'er, come and evaluate."

Yun Qingchi was reading a book, when he heard the words put down the bamboo slips, he looked at Yun Qingyu with a half-smile.It wasn't until Yun Qingyu saw that his whole body was hairy that he commented lightly: "The battle is very neat."

The implication is that there is nothing but neatness.

Zhen Guohou's complexion suddenly fell, and he looked at Yun Qingyu with hatred: "Look at you, after all, you have been a classmate with His Highness the Eleventh Prince for so many years. Now it's good, you can't even write a poem. I still expect you to go to the imperial examination to shine on the lintel, it’s good if you don’t lose face. Why can’t you imitate your elder brother?”

Yun Qingyu had always been afraid of his father, and he didn't dare to refute when he heard the words, but he almost burst into tears: "Father, elder brother is the number one talented person in the capital, how can I compare with him?"

Yuan Shi couldn't see Yun Qingyu like this, and tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, don't be angry when it's Chinese New Year. Slowly, come and write a poem to describe this long snow scene."

Yun Qingxuan was in a daze, when she heard Yuan's question suddenly, she only knew that she was asked to write a poem related to snow, so she blurted out immediately: "Bai Xue doesn't like spring, so she wears garden trees as flying flowers."

After finishing speaking, he realized what he had just said.Seeing Yun Qingchi and the others surprised, he hurriedly saved them: "I didn't do this. I saw it by accident."

Only then did Yun Qingyu regain his balance: "I'll just say it? Your poetic skill is ingenious, quite elegant. If it were really written by you, the title of Princess Mu, the most talented woman in Beijing, will be lost. "

Yun Qing slowly lowered his head to drink the porridge, without speaking.

That's not.

A petty woman like Mu Jinghuan can't compare with our great writer Han Yu.Is this a level?

Zhen Guohou blew on the tea foam, took a sip, looked at Yun Qingyu, and suddenly said: "Yu'er, you beat the second son of the Rongguo Mansion a few days ago?"

Yun Qingyu looked at Zhen Guohou with some surprise, apparently he did not expect his father to ask about this matter: "Father, this happened more than ten days ago, why did you mention it suddenly? But what did my son do wrong? "

Jia Baoyu's remarks made a lot of noise, and the fact that Yun Qingyu beat Jia Baoyu was spread at the speed of light after that day.

It stands to reason that Marquis Zhen Guo knew about this a long time ago, but he never paid any attention to it. Why did he suddenly bring it up today?

Zhen Guohou smiled, and looked at Yun Qingyu approvingly: "You know, it is widely rumored in the army that Wang Ziteng's nephew has no dust in his eyes, and enjoys the gentle countryside under the shade of his ancestors. The soldiers. The rumors spread, Wang Ziteng is so busy these days, I am afraid that he has not had a good year. Just like this, there are still many people who do not want to obey Wang Ziteng's discipline. On the contrary, it is your unintentional move , so that many soldiers look at our Zhenguohou Mansion differently."

The porridge in Yun Qingxu's mouth almost spurted out.

day!

A small event, in the end, will have such a large lethality.Her cousin, cow.

Yun Qingyu obviously didn't expect that it would develop like this in the end, and immediately after the shock, he was happy: "So, I have made a great contribution."

Yun Qingchi raised her eyes: "Yes."

Yun Qing murmured slowly: "It's really a fool's blessing to be a fool."

With Yun Qingyu's affirmation, she was so happy that she couldn't find her way.

Zhen Guohou originally wanted to praise him.But looking at the stupidity of his son, and Yun Qingchi's wisdom and indifference, he immediately felt disgusted: "The empress Huigui ordered us to praise you well. In view of your meritorious service this time, empress Yifei I even specially took out the picture of an old cow drinking water that you have always wanted, made by Li Shiyun in the previous dynasty, as a reward."

Yun Qinghuan stopped muttering when she heard this, and held her chin in fascination: "Master Li is a master of painting. His works are often priceless, and a glance is a blessing from cultivation."

In the end, I couldn't help but sigh: "Concubine Yi has so many babies."

Mrs. Lin looked at Yun Qingxuan's jealous little face, smiled and scratched Yun Qingxuan's little nose: "Isn't Madam Yifei not loving you? In the annual ceremony yesterday, she even gave you a special picture Six 'Hui Wen' screens. This is the only treasure in the world. Didn't you see that your second brother's eyes are about to glow green."

Yun Qingxuan knew the 'Hui Wen' of course.Even in the dream of the Red Chamber, which is as rich as earth, this is already an extremely rare top-level luxury.

It is said that there are no more than ten "wisdom patterns" in the palace.And Concubine Yi has two of them.

A [-]-sided double-layer palace lantern was given to Concubine Hui as a birthday gift a few years ago, and the other is the screen.

When Yun Qingxuan heard Lin's talk last night, she didn't know how many times she felt that Concubine Yi was really rich and powerful.

Jia's mother just has a pair of "Huiwen" Yingluo, which she keeps as a treasure, and she is reluctant to use it unless it is a major New Year's Eve.

Concubine Yi is fine, just a revolving lantern and a screen.With an overwhelming advantage in quantity and quality, it has won an unquestionable victory.

Yun Zhengran hated the Jia family very much.He stroked his beard, and although he remained calm, Yun Qinghuan inexplicably heard a trace of joy: "The second prince is probably in a state of desperation now, and the Jia family may be even more displeased with Concubine Zhen. I just don't know How will the Wang family deal with it?"

Yun Qing pouted slowly, but did not speak.

To be honest, if it was her, she would rather cut off contact with relatives who were holding back than being dragged down in the future.

I just don't know how the second prince and Wang Ziteng will choose.
