[Red Chamber] Dai Yu became the favorite of the Song Dynasty

What the princess said was exactly what Yue'er wanted, and she hurriedly moved forward just to show her face in front of the princess.If you can get to know the princess today, maybe you can meet the official family tomorrow?

Daiyu is the elder sister, so it is not easy to be too stingy in front of the two younger sisters. Since the princess asked Yue'er to sit down, Daiyu could only acquiesce.

After the prince and concubine visited the hall, the banquet officially began.

The prince and the princess toasted tables to express their gratitude, and Daiyu, as a member of the palace, also followed the princess to express her thanks.It's just that she has a limited amount of alcohol and can't drink too much.

However, some good people made a fuss and insisted on Daiyu drinking a few more drinks on the grounds that her brother was overjoyed, but Daiyu refused repeatedly, which made the prince displeased: "My daughter is not good at drinking, so I should drink with you!"

The prince picked up the jug and wanted to fill it up for the troublemaker.The other party was stage-frightened, obviously the prince was not happy, but today was a happy event, but he could only force himself to smile.

After a while, the prince also came to the front hall to entertain the guests.

Yue'er looked at Shi Zi's flushed face, much more energetic than a few days ago.When the prince thanked the wine, he started from the princess's table: "Thank you, Your Majesty and the princess, for the reward, I am very grateful!"

Princess: "Brother Shizi, you don't need to be too polite. May your husband and wife stay together forever and live in harmony forever!"

"Thank you, princess!" The prince drank the wine in his glass, and he also noticed that Yue'er was staring at him with affection in his eyes.What the son thought in his heart was: Although he is married today, it will not hurt to have a concubine in the future.

Others couldn't see the eyes of the prince and Yue'er, and they were all immersed in the joy of the wedding.

The princess loves to be lively, seeing people all over the house mingling with each other and coming to respect her, she was very happy and kept asking Daiyu who those guests were.But Daiyu is busy selling barbecue all day long, and doesn't make friends with the court dignitaries, so there are many people she doesn't know. "Sister, if you're doing business outside, you should get to know more wealthy families. This will be good for the business in the store."

"You're right, but I'm a courtier, it's better to keep my own place. If everyone is willing to come to my store to buy, that's a good thing. If you don't come, it doesn't matter. There is really no need to make friends." Daiyu knew the Jia family There used to be a house full of guests and friends, making friends and making friends, but few people dared to stand up for Jia's family when it finally fell.

After the banquet, the palace also arranged for the theater troupe to perform several festive plays.

But most of the people left after eating and drinking. Although the princess really wanted to listen to the opera, the officials stipulated the time for her to return to the palace. .

Prince: "The princess is a daughter of gold, it's better to go back to the palace earlier. If you want to listen to an opera in the future, this king will invite the theater troupe to come into the palace and sing for the princess!"

The princess was naturally happy: "Thank you, uncle! Then I will go back to the palace first." Then she told Daiyu: "Sister, I want to play with the princess for a while."

Daiyu: "Naturally, the princess should go back soon!"

Everyone sees the princess off.

The servants of the palace began to tidy up the yard. Lin Jin and Dong Niu brought the cooks to the front yard to congratulate: "Congratulations to the prince, concubine, and son, and best wishes for your wedding!"

The princess smiled and said, "You guys did a great job today, everyone will be rewarded!"

"Thank you princess!"

Seeing that the affairs of the palace were almost busy and it was getting late, Daiyu took her family to bid farewell to the princess and prepared to go home.

Wangfei: "It's really hard work for you and your family!"

Daiyu: "Godmother, you are welcome. This is what we should do, as long as the guests are satisfied."

"Satisfied, satisfied, naturally satisfied. From today on, all the powerful and influential people in Tokyo should come to your shop to support you!" Wang Hao laughed.

"Then I would like to thank Godmother for giving us the opportunity to be a leader today."

When the adults were talking, Xiao Yu'er was dozing off.

Seeing this, the princess said: "Go back quickly, the child is very sleepy."

"Yes!" The Lin family all left.

Because Daiyu made a lot of money from the banquet in the palace, she gave bonuses to all the shop assistants, and the shop closed and gave everyone a three-day holiday.Everyone is very happy, working here earns more wages for a month than they earn working in the crop fields for a year.

Before the holiday, Daiyu gave Qiuer's father an errand: "Brother, when you are free these few days, go to the old village chief's house to see how their vegetables and fruits are growing. The goods in here."

"Girl, don't worry, I will manage it!" Qiu'er's father was very grateful to Daiyu for solving the food problem of so many people, so that these poor country people could feed and clothe the whole family.

"That's hard work, brother!"

The store is closed, just in time for the whole family to have a good rest.Early in the morning, only Yu'er called the adults to get up in a childlike voice. In fact, everyone was very tired and wished they could sleep all day.

Daiyu loved Yu'er the most. Although she was very tired, she still didn't want Yu'er to call outside alone. She got up and made some food for her, and then played with her in the yard.

With company, Yu'er no longer quarrels with other people.

The child was over three years old, and Daiyu thought it was time to be enlightened.The only teacher she knew was Qingzhao, but Qingzhao's private school was full of female students, and boys were not accepted for the time being.Other family members don't even know a knowledgeable gentleman, which makes Daiyu feel a little bit difficult.

Daiyu took Yu'er to the martial arts gym, and wanted to ask Lu Qingzhou if he had heard of any capable adults.

Lu Qingzhou looked Yu'er up and down: "He's only three years old, are you sure you want to send him to study? Will his parents agree?"

Daiyu: "He is just at the age of enlightenment, so don't delay. My sister-in-law has also studied with Qingzhao, so she naturally knows the benefits of studying. She will definitely be willing."

Hearing what Daiyu said, Lu Qingzhou didn't ask any more questions: "When it comes to teaching, I know a very good person, but I don't know if he still accepts students."

"who?"

"Lord Ouyang."

Ouyang Xiu?Daiyu naturally knew that Mr. Ouyang is a rich man, and even Zizhan is his student: "Mr. Ouyang, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you."

Lu Qingzhou once saved Ouyang Xiu's life. I don't know if he will return Lu Qingzhou's favor and accept Yu'er as his disciple: "Well, let's take Yu'er to visit Master Ouyang tomorrow, and see if they have the fate of master and apprentice. .”

Daiyu: "You can give it a try. If you can really get Master Ouyang's advice, then it will be a blessing to my son."

After Daiyu and Yu'er returned home, almost everyone in the family woke up, only the cousin was still sound asleep, but everyone regarded her as a transparent person.

Daiyu told everyone that she wanted to send Yuer to study. Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin were worried that their grandson was so young, what books could he understand?Lin Jin hoped that the child could still play happily for a few years, and then talk about enrolling in school after two years.

Only Dong Niu fully supported Daiyu's idea: "Study early and understand things early, and if you get a good name in the future, it will honor our Lin family."

Lin Jin questioned Dong Niu a bit: "Our family has never produced a scholar, is the child this material?"

Dong Niu retorted: "Isn't my younger sister a good student? If my younger sister was a man, she would have earned fame a long time ago."

Lin Jin has nothing to say. He is illiterate. He sold steamed stuffed buns with his parents since he was a child, and later sold barbecue with his younger sister. He didn't have any big ideas or worries. If you go to study, then read it, it's not a bad thing anyway.

Dong Niu discussed with Dai Yu again: "Have you found a gentleman? I don't know anyone very well."

Daiyu: "Qingzhou and I are going to take Yu'er to Mr. Ouyang's house tomorrow to see if Mr. Ouyang can accept Yuer."

When the Lin family heard that Daiyu wanted to invite Mr. Ouyang, they were overjoyed. Mr. Ouyang is a well-known and knowledgeable person. If he can teach him, my son will have a bright future.

Daiyu was not very sure that she would be able to invite Master Ouyang, so she said to her family first: "Fate is also important between master and apprentice, let's see how tomorrow's results will be before making plans."

The Lin family: "That's nature, that's nature."

The next day, Lu Qingzhou came to pick up Daiyu and Yu'er after he came down to court, and the Lin family expressed their great gratitude to him.

In Ouyang Mansion, Ouyang Xiu welcomed the arrival of the three of them very much, and hurriedly ordered his servants to bring tea and water, and also brought many pastries and fruits for Xiao Yuer.

"Although you and I are officials in the same dynasty, you have never been to my house. You must finish your lunch today before leaving." Ouyang Xiu said to Lu Qingzhou.

Lu Qingzhou: "Your Excellency is too polite. I have been busy all the time, and I can't get away. Please don't take offense."

Ouyang Xiu waved his hand: "You are young and promising. You have an official position and manage the martial arts gym. You are naturally very busy. It's not like I don't want anything extravagant."

"My lord is highly respected, it's too modest. Your Majesty still relies on you to govern the Song Dynasty."

Ouyang Xiu: "I'm old and useless."

Daiyu answered, "Your Excellency is the minister of the shoulders, your majesty's right-hand man, and the people also respect you very much!"

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "The princess has praised the old man. Now it's time for you young people to serve the Song Dynasty, and you should share the worries of the officials."

"Follow your lord's instructions."

Ouyang Xiu saw that Yu'er was very happy eating the fruit, and ordered his servants: "Pick up a portion of this fruit, and bring it home for the young master to eat later."

"Yes."

Seeing that Ouyang Xiu had a good impression of Yu'er, Lu Qingzhou tried to say, "I'm here today to ask you to see my lord. I really want to ask for something."

Ouyang Xiu remembered Lu Qingzhou's great kindness: "Please tell me if you have anything to say."

"Yu'er is three years old, and the Princess and I are thinking about whether we can worship adults as teachers and join them, so that we can learn something in the future so that we can serve our country."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu touched Yu'er's little head and said, "I'm getting old, and I didn't intend to accept any more disciples, but today you and the princess came to intercede, so I made an exception to accept this child as a closed disciple, and I will never accept him again from now on." Received."

Lu Qingzhou and Daiyu were overjoyed: "Thank you, my lord, for your fulfillment!" Daiyu took Yu'er and practiced the ceremony of apprenticeship to Ouyang. Yu'er didn't understand what it meant to be a teacher, but just followed what her aunt said, carefully holding a cup of tea, and handing it to Ouyang. To Ouyang Xiu: "Teacher, please drink tea!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Ouyang Xiu took the child's tea and took a sip: "Follow me from now on, don't play around secretly."

"Yes, Yu'er listens to the teacher."
