The Lady of the Red Chamber

Jia Baoyu found Lin Daiyu in the garden, ran over excitedly, stood in front of Lin Daiyu and complained: "Sister, why are you here? I have been looking for you for a long time. I heard the maids said that you are here Appreciating flowers, why aren't you with the second sister and the others?"

Lin Daiyu bowed her head slightly and said, "Second brother is good."

Meng Xiu often looked at Jia Baoyu, who was as festive as a red envelope, and frowned calmly.

The new rituals of the Daqing Festival clearly state that guests are not allowed to wear red at the big banquet.Even the royal princess follows the etiquette system and dare not go beyond it.

And the person in front of him, actually regarded the Daqing etiquette as nothing in a majestic way.

The grandfather of the Meng family was the court elder, and Meng Xiuchang's father was the current Guozijian Jijiu. The elders in the family held important positions more than the Wenchen Group, so they were the most noble.Therefore, he can't understand this kind of rude people.

Jia Baoyu had a chat with Lin Daiyu before he noticed Meng Xiuchang.Seeing Lin Daiyu with other men, she immediately felt a little apprehensive: "Sister, who is this?"

Lin Daiyu felt a little displeased.

Baoyu's words are so rude.Obviously when she was still living in Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu also respected her teachers and elders.It's only been a few years, why is it getting more and more out of shape?

But Lin Daiyu still replied: "This is Mr. Meng from the Duke Cheng'en's residence."

Baoyu clapped his hands and said, "The eldest son of Duke Chengen, isn't that the empress's younger brother?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and did not speak. Instead, she introduced to Meng Xiuchang: "Mr. Meng, this is my cousin, Mr. Jia from the Rongguo Mansion."

Meng Xiu often made a literati salute: "Hello, Mr. Jia."

Jia Baoyu replied: "Mr. Meng is good."

Jia Baoyu looked at Meng Xiuchang.With bright eyebrows and starry eyes, imposing aura, every move is as elegant and extraordinary as flowing clouds and flowing water, like a person walking down from a painting, I can't help but be infatuated.

Jia Baoyu's eyes were too obvious, Meng Xiuchang's face was not obvious, but his heart was already a little impatient: "I don't know what's the matter with Mr. Jia?"

Jia Baoyu seemed to have just realized it, and said: "I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time, and I miss her. I can't believe that I met such a flirtatious person like the young master. It's a pity that I didn't get to know each other earlier. It's really a sin."

Meng Xiuchang: "..."

Meng Xiu often hated Jia Baoyu.

He was the accompanying student of His Royal Highness, and after His Royal Highness entered the court, he entered the Imperial College to study.Although it is said that it is not a gentleman's work to say that people are right and wrong, but in the boring environment of the Imperial College, there are always a few princes from aristocratic families who have hidden places and take pleasure in making fun of others.

Unfortunately, Jia Baoyu topped the gossip list because of all the weird things he did in the Imperial College.It became the first topic of conversation for everyone in the Guozijian after dinner.

Although it is not advisable to judge people with one-sided words, but with the invincible weapon of "remonstrance to the death of literature, and war to the death of martial arts", it is impossible for Meng Xiu to have a good impression of Jia Baoyu.

Although Meng Xiuchang was not as resourceful as Yun Qingchi, nor as gentlemanly as a jade like Situ Jin, he was still a proud scholar.Since he didn't like it, he didn't hold back, but said euphemistically: "The Rongguo Mansion started with military exploits, and they have no collusion with the Meng Mansion. Mr. Jia, a nobleman, a real rich and idle man, is naturally wanton and crazy, which is enviable. Like me, I am so busy that I don’t have the time to call and drink with friends.”

This was already said very politely, but Jia Baoyu didn't seem to understand it at all, and decided that Meng Xiuchang was the same: "Since we are making friends, we should only talk about sincerity and have nothing to do with family status. If you stick to your status and miss the world, it is difficult to know yourself. Isn't it a great pity in the world? Could it be that Mr. Meng is also that kind of worldly person? It's just that people look down upon him for not letting go of all these honors."

Seeing that Jia Baoyu's words became more and more outrageous, Lin Daiyu hurriedly said: "Second brother, the eldest aunt is looking for you, why don't you hurry over there."

After hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Jia Baoyu finally stopped his eloquence: "Really?"

Lin Daiyu affirmed: "Of course. When I came out from my cousin just now, my aunt's girl came over and said that my aunt had something to tell you."

Although Jia Baoyu valued Daiyu the most, his elders said that he could not refuse.Hearing Daiyu's words, he said anxiously: "Sister, since that's the case, I'll go to the eldest wife first. I'll talk to you later."

Lin Daiyu said: "Yes."

Seeing Jia Baoyu walk away, Meng Xiuchang frowned again.Thinking that this is Lin Daiyu's cousin after all, she still didn't complain.

Lin Daiyu gave Meng Xiuchang a little blessing: "Young Master Meng, I made you laugh."

Meng Xiu often said: "It's nothing. Mr. Jia is innocent and innocent, but he is also a rare heart. Sister Lin doesn't have to be like this."

Lin Daiyu knew that Meng Xiuchang was trying to save face for her, so she wisely didn't point it out.

Looking at Zhang Yang's back as Jia Baoyu went away, and thinking of what Nanny Cui had said to her, he sighed subtly.

The eldest aunt is a smart person, knowing that she is in prison, so she escapes in time.Lian's second brother and sister Feng also fought for a way out for Da Fang.But the second aunt has always been confused, and puts Bao on Sister Yuanchun with all her heart.

It should be noted that the man in the family does not live up to expectations, how long can the superficial prosperity be maintained by relying on the daughter alone?

Lin Daiyu didn't lie, Mrs. Xing did have something to do with Jia Baoyu.

However, what Mrs. Xing didn't expect was that Jia Baoyu caused a terrible disaster to her before she had time to tell Jia Baoyu in such a short distance of half the mansion.

Since Yun Qingxuan came to the capital, she often went to the former Sixth Prince's Mansion to play with Princess Huining.

De Teti doesn't have many children.

As the eldest sister, Princess Huining was taught by Empress Meng to be broad-minded, optimistic and uninhibited.She never looked down on those concubine siblings, instead she often led them to ride horses and shoot arrows together, or play hide-and-seek with the young second prince and second princess.

As a frequent visitor to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Yun Qingxuan often has all kinds of whimsical ideas, so she is very popular with these children.So even now the former emperor and grandson princess has become a high-ranking prince and princess.But they all protected their little cousin, and when they saw Yun Qingxuan, they continued to be tired of acting like a baby by Yun Qingxuan's side because of their poor status and age, and they still depended on her no less.

Princess Wen'an is sitting in the arms of Princess Huining, her two little hands are full of dried meat.The eldest prince Situ Hao stood in front of the two of them, watched Princess Wen'an's cheeks move, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, look at Miss Huang, she is watching you. If you continue to eat like this, you will turn into a piglet. At that time, let alone Miss Huang, even I won't be able to hold you in my arms."

After hearing this, Princess Wen'an put down the dried meat and fruit in question, and asked blankly, "Am I fat?"

Princess Huining hurriedly said: "No, no, don't listen to Ah Hao's nonsense. Wan'er needs to eat more to be healthy."

Situ Hao said deliberately: "Sister Huang is lying to you. Look, how cute Ah Ming is. Huang Jie just wanted you to become like Ah Min, so she said that on purpose."

The five-year-old Situ Min was led by his elder brother. He was fat and full of milk.Situ Hao pinched Situ Min's fat face on purpose, enjoyed the soft touch, and wanted to hug Situ Min and rub it.

Unfortunately……

Situ Hao squatted down and tried, but he didn't move.

Situ Hao was a little embarrassed, straightened up, and concealed himself: "Look, if you eat more, you will be the same as Ah Min."

Situ Min was not happy anymore, he shook off Situ Hao's hand, and rushed to Princess Huining to feel wronged: "Sister Huang."

Princess Huining held Situ Xinwan in one hand, and rubbed Situ Ming in the other, and glanced at Situ Hao by the way: "Ah Hao, if you talk about it again, I will tell Concubine Liu Gui and let her treat you."

Yun Qingxuan just happened to walk near the emperor's nobles, and seeing their siblings in harmony and joy, she felt a little sad.

Now that he is still young and has never tasted power, he regards the friendship between brothers as the most important thing.A brave, carefree, enviable.

But in the royal family, the most helpless thing is involuntary.In the future, brothers and sisters will fight each other, reminiscing about the past, and lamenting the impermanence of the world, it is hard to help.

Princess Huining saw Yun Qingxuan first, and shouted: "Huanhua, you are here."

Situ Hao and the others raised their heads, and they all warmly greeted Yun Qing: "Biaogu."

Yun Qing saluted slowly, swallowed the pain in her heart, and smiled brightly: "Princess, Your Highness, there are throwing pots over there, and the water is flowing, why do you just gather here to talk."

Situ Hao said first: "It's not Wan'er, she said she's hungry, so we have to wait for her to eat some snacks to fill her stomach."

Although it was a complaint, the Eldest Prince's tone of voice clearly revealed his doting affection for the Little Imperial Sister.

When Situ Xinwan was full, she stretched out her hand and shook it softly: "Brother Emperor, wipe it up. Play Tibetan with aunt."

Situ Hao took the bright yellow silk handkerchief which was soaked and wrung out, and wiped Situ Xinwan's fingers carefully, just like a good brother.

After wiping, Situ Hao took Situ Min's fat little hand and squeezed it contentedly: "Let's go, let's play hide-and-seek with my cousin."

There is a large rockery in Yunfu, surrounded by twists and turns, and the winding path is deep and secluded. Outside the rockery is a soft lawn, which is most suitable for children to play games.

Princess Wen'an is about to choose a companion, and many wives bring their daughters of similar ages to Yunfu for a banquet.Liang Yiheng purposely made this piece of land into a place similar to a modern playground, and put many wooden toys made by himself.For those little ladies to play.

Situ Xinwan fell in love with it at first glance, forgot about hide and seek, and took Princess Huining's hand and said she wanted to play.

They were having fun here, but Princess Wylan and Princess Wen Su were in dire straits on the other side.

Because Princess Huailan's relationship with Yun Qingyu cannot be disclosed for the time being, in order to confuse the Zhen family, she was forced to enjoy flowers and drink tea with the princes of the family in a corner of the garden specially set up by the Yun Mansion with other noble girls.

Princess Wen Su is more loyal, and Concubine Yi also ordered her to see if there is any candidate for the county horse that she likes.She could only give up the activities organized by Princess Huining and Yun Qingxuan, and sat beside Princess Huailan, watching the young masters on the opposite side try their best like peacocks, hoping to win the favor of the noble lady here.

Unexpectedly, during the harmonious blind date between the two parties, Jia Baoyu suddenly broke in.
