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

Although Xue Baochai admits that Daiyu is beautiful, she looks down on her in her heart. She is just the daughter of a street vendor who climbed up a branch and became a phoenix by chance. In terms of her background, Lin Daiyu is not as good as herself.In addition, Lin Daiyu was busy in the kitchen all day, and there was a strong smell of oily smoke on her body. Xue Baochai almost couldn't help throwing up when she smelled it, so she had to gently cover her mouth and nose.

But on the other hand, Xue Baochai also felt that what her parents said was very reasonable. Through the springboard of Lin Daiyu, getting acquainted with dignitaries in Tokyo City might change her own destiny.

In the Lin's barbecue restaurant, a strange guest ushered in, and this was Xue Baochai.Others didn't recognize her, but the crazy uncle recognized her at a glance. He hurried into the back kitchen to inform Daiyu, "The person who was beaten by the idiot is here, that pretty little girl."

Daiyu was already able to understand her uncle's crazy words, and after thinking about it, she guessed that it was Xue Baochai. She immediately put down the kitchen knife in her hand, asked Qiuer's father to take over the work, and went out to entertain the guests by herself.

Xue Baochai was raised by Jiao Didi, and she has never eaten in this kind of barbecue restaurant mixed with oily smoke and crowds. In her mother's words, this kind of place is too low-grade.

Daiyu greeted Xue Baochai very warmly. Knowing that she was an official lady, she was definitely not used to sitting outside, so she led her into the private room in the inner courtyard. The princess is thoughtful and knows that our lady doesn't like the smell of oily smoke outside." Xue Baochai immediately reprimanded: "What nonsense!" Then she laughed at Daiyu, "Young girl is ignorant and spoiled by me, princess don't care about it."

Daiyu didn't take it to heart: "Miss, you are welcome. You don't have to call me Princess, just call me Daiyu. It looks close." She recognized Xue Baochai as Sister Bao, thinking that there would be no fetters of the Jia family in this life. Maybe be a confidant.

After Xue Baochai was seated, she ordered a few dishes, all of which were relatively bland, and it was obvious that the oily and spicy dishes did not suit her taste.Daiyu wanted to entertain Xue Baochai with the best wine, but she was afraid that she was not good at drinking, so she asked, "Miss Xue loves drinking?"

Xue Baochai's maid answered first: "My lady doesn't drink at all."

Now that Daiyu knew it, she went to get some sweet juice.

Xue Baochai is plump and has a sweet tooth, so she loves this sweet juice that she has never had before: "Your juice is very rare, there is no pulp left, and the taste is good, fresher than the fresh melons and fruits outside. "

"It's rare for a girl to like it, so I have to drink enough today. The vegetables and fruits in my store are all grown in the countryside by someone I asked them to grow. Once they are ripe, they are picked and shipped over immediately. They have not been changed hands by others, so they must be fresher." Daiyu explained.

Xue Baochai was a little surprised, apparently she did not expect Lin Daiyu to have such a talent: "You look weak in writing, but you are so capable in doing things, I am really impressed. It is rumored that you donated most of your family property to support the frontier campaign, but real?"

Daiyu nodded: "It's nothing, and now I've earned it back."

Xue Baochai couldn't help thinking to herself, what a powerful woman, she has courage and courage, and can earn back after dissipating her family's wealth. I'm afraid that all the nobles in Tokyo combined can't compare to her.

The Xue Baochai in front of her is really similar to her sister Bao in her previous life, with her physical appearance, demeanor, frown and smile, Daiyu even wonders if this Xue Baochai will have the same memories of her previous life as she does?Daiyu was curious, so she tried it out: "Does Miss Xue know about the Jia family in Jinling?"

Xue Baochai looked confused: "What kind of fake family is real? I don't understand."

"The Jia family is incomparably rich, girl, don't you know?"

"You're joking. Jinling is thousands of miles away from Tokyo. How do I know what's going on there?"

Daiyu knew in her heart that this Xue Baochai was not her sister Bao from her previous life. "It's okay if Miss Xue doesn't know, I also read it from the book, just ask casually."

Xue Baochai finished the pot of sweet juice in front of her, and she still couldn't get enough of it: "This sweet juice is very sweet to my liking. You can tell me how to make it conveniently. I can make it myself and taste it when I get home."

Daiyu politely refused: "I'm sorry, girl, I'm here to do business, and I don't spread any recipes or dessert making methods to the outside world, so as not to be learned by interested people and ruin my business. If you like it, I will send it every day. There is no charge for sending a pot to the house."

Xue Baochai didn't seem to mind: "Business is more important. I also think too simple and don't know the way to do business. You are very busy all day, so you don't need to send it. If I want to drink, I will come to the store directly. "

Daiyu: "That's fine. You and I are predestined, you look a lot like an old friend of mine."

"My parents only gave birth to me, and they have no brothers or sisters. There are many similar people in the world, so it's not surprising." Xue Baochai didn't have so many emotions. She wanted to go home early after eating, although her mother asked her to enhance the relationship. , but she really doesn't have much to say to people she doesn't know well.

Xue Baochai got up to leave, but Daiyu escorted her to the door, just as Lu Qingzhou came back from court, Daiyu greeted him, "You're here." With a smile on his face, Lu Qingzhou went into the house to help.

The moment they passed by, Xue Baochai was astonished. When did Tokyo have such a man?She is the daughter of an official, and she was educated not to look directly at Lu Qingzhou, so she didn't like to look directly at Lu Qingzhou, she could only glance at him from the corner of her eye. It was these few glances that made her heart squirm and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

The master and servant were walking on the road, but Xue Baochai's maid spoke first: "Miss, that young master just now is really personable and extraordinary!"

Xue Baochai asked back, "You saw it too?"

"It's hard not to see such a dazzling person!"

"Yeah, he is so dazzling, maybe he already has a master." Xue Baochai was slightly disappointed.

The servant girl also saw Xue Baochai's thoughts: "Miss, have you taken a fancy to me? If you have a crush on me, I will help you find out the identity of this young master. Maybe he has no family background yet!"

"Xiao Qiao, is this suitable?" Xue Baochai asked the servant girl.

"Why is it inappropriate? If such a rare talent can be our uncle, the master and wife will be so happy!"

Xiaoqiao's words made Xue Baochai more courageous, and she said tentatively: "Why don't you go and find out? But don't let anyone find out, or you will lose your life."

"Miss, don't worry, I will pay attention, you go home and wait for my news." After Xiaoqiao finished speaking, she went back the same way to inquire, and Xue Baochai walked home slowly by herself.

Xue Baochai was bored waiting at home, and her mother kept asking: "How is the conversation with the princess? Is her food good? Later, your father and I will go and taste it." Mrs. Xue saw that Xiaoqiao didn't come back with her, " Where did Xiaoqiao's crazy girl go? Was she playing outside?"

"Oh, mother, why do you have so many questions? Are you annoying? Xiaoqiao is going to help me buy hair oil. She should be back in a while." Xue Baochai didn't want to talk to her mother, she was all thinking about waiting for Xiaoqiao.

Mrs. Xue: "It's really a girl who can't help herself when she grows up. It's annoying to ask a few words."

Xue Baochai didn't want her mother to be unhappy, so she explained casually: "I drank cold sweet juice at Lin's house today, and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Mother, please let me lie down alone."

Seeing what her daughter said, Mrs. Xue began to worry again: "Does it matter? I'll ask your father to invite a doctor to come and take a look."

"It's okay, just drink some hot water, mother, you can go back to the house and rest first."

Mrs. Xue just walked away.

After waiting for a while, Xiaoqiao came back sweating profusely.It was hard for her to run all the way on this hot day, so Xue Baochai quickly poured water for her.

Xiao Qiao took a breath and began to report the results of the battle: "I've found out clearly, the son we met is General Jingyuan Lu Qingzhou, young and promising, good character and good looks."

Xue Baochai was elated, thinking that her vision was indeed not bad, and what she was looking for was indeed the dragon and phoenix among people.

Xiao Qiao hesitated: "It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that he already has a marriage contract. It is said that the marriage was granted by the emperor's imperial decree. His fiancée is Lin Daiyu."

Xue Baochai's mind was suddenly buzzing, why all the good ones belonged to Lin Daiyu, power, status, wealth, and now Ruyi Langjun!Although she and Lin Daiyu just met each other for the first time, but she has already unknowingly compared with each other, why is she not as good as Lin Daiyu in everything?

Seeing that her young lady was silent, Xiaoqiao was still comforting: "Don't be sad, even if Master Lu is not yours, Mrs. Madam is right, if we walk around with the Lin family more, we can get to know more dignitaries. Lu Qingzhou is better."

"There are so many good ones, why do you think Lin Daiyu has such a good life, and the late emperor favored her so much?"

This question was obviously beyond Xiao Qiao's ability to think, she couldn't answer it, so she could only stammer and say: "Miss, you are also a lucky person, maybe you will live a more honorable life than her in the future!"

This sentence is what Xue Baochai likes to hear, she thinks that her background is better than Lin Daiyu's, and it is reasonable to climb higher than her. "Don't tell my mother about today's affairs. She has a bad mouth and be careful to give birth to a lot of gossip."

"The servant understands."

Daiyu didn't know that Xue Baochai had sent someone to inquire about the news, so she just kept busy in the kitchen, taking advantage of the good business to make money was the only thing she wanted to do now.Parents are getting older day by day, Yu'er will have to take scientific examinations and become an official career in the future, and he will search all over the world for delicacies...everything needs money, she can't stop, but fortunately, there are no worries at home recently She is pregnant.It's just that she never wanted Lu Qingzhou to help, but he refused to listen.

"You are already busy at Chaozhong, so you don't need to come here every day."

Lu Qingzhou: "Just go back to deal with government affairs at night, I'm afraid you'll be too busy and exhausted."

"What's going on in the court recently?"

Lu Qingzhou glanced around, and seeing no one else said, "Princess Shangyang... She used the excuse that His Majesty was young, and asked the minister to send all the memorials to her bedroom, and she will assist His Majesty to review them."

Daiyu's expression changed when she heard this: "Why is she getting more and more mischievous?"

"Do you think it's just nonsense? Princess Shangyang, is she coveting His Majesty's seat?" Lu Qingzhou reminded Daiyu, "The last time we entered the palace, her attitude was very abnormal."

"But how old is she? How dare she think? Besides, this lady belongs to the Zhao family. What's the use of her coming?"

Lu Qingzhou: "Don't worry, this is just my own guess. Naturally, the ministers will not agree to Princess Shangyang's request. General Pingyuan and Lord Ouyang will still assist His Majesty. Many matters are also discussed by the ministers."

Daiyu sighed softly: "What you can think of is that many adults in the court will also think that Shangyang, an unmarried girl, really shouldn't have such unreasonable thoughts, how much her brother has eaten for the great Song Dynasty Bitter, has she forgotten? Your Majesty is only so old, and it is not easy to have a stable country, why bother to make troubles again."

"People will change. Maybe she is no longer the naive Shang Yang she used to be. When you enter the palace again in the future, you should be more careful. It is best to ask me to go with you."

"Okay, I see." Daiyu was still thinking about Shangyang, and she refused to admit it for a long time.

"I want to go back to the villa in a few days to see Uncle Wu, do you want to go together?" Lu Qingzhou asked Daiyu for her opinion.

Daiyu hadn't gone out to relax for a long time, so she agreed immediately: "Fix the time and tell me, so I can arrange the work in hand, and bring some sweet juice and cakes I made to Uncle Wu. He can just bite into something."

Lu Qingzhou: "It will take some time on the road, whether it will be boring or not, don't worry about it."

"I chill it with ice cubes, it won't go bad, and let the old man try something new."

Three days later, Daiyu and Lu Qingzhou returned to Qingyao Villa.The mountains are much cooler than Tokyo, and the two of them walked all the way without breaking a sweat.Lu Qingzhou was carrying the food box, Daiyu slammed the door lightly, but no one responded, Lu Qingzhou punched it vigorously a few times, finally Uncle Wu heard it, and the door opened.

Lu Qingzhou: "Uncle Wu, I'm back."

"My lord, and Miss Lin, please come back, come in and have a break!" Uncle Wu was very happy to see the two of them. He was the only one in the silent mountain forest all the time, and it was really not lively.

Lu Qingzhou: "Is everything okay at home?"

"Okay, my old man eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, look how fat I have become, hahaha..." Uncle Wu is a cheerful person, seeing Lu Qingzhou is as affectionate as meeting his own child .

Daiyu took out the snacks and sweet juice in the food box: "Uncle Wu, these are some gadgets I made in the shop, I'll bring you a taste."

Uncle Wu was very happy, and said as he ate, "Miss Lin is really good at cooking, old man, I have never eaten such delicious food at this age." He added, "Who will marry you in the future? You are blessed." Uncle Wu deliberately said this, because he didn't know what the relationship between his son and Miss Lin was, and whether he had settled it.

Lu Qingzhou was brought up by Uncle Wu, so he naturally heard Uncle Wu's intentions: "The late emperor gave Daiyu and me a marriage before his death. We will get married after the national filial piety period."

Uncle Wu beamed with joy when he heard it: "Good thing, good thing, the old owner and his wife will be pleased to know about it." Uncle Wu didn't know the world in the mountains, and he was puzzled when he heard the "Emperor" in Lu Qingzhou's mouth. Your emperor... is gone?"

Lu Qingzhou nodded.

"Then who is the official in office now?"

Daiyu replied: "It's Kai'er who you and I took care of back then, and he has become the new emperor."

Uncle Wu said with emotion: "It's really been a thousand years in the world, and the child is still young, but he is already the king of a country. It's a pity! When the father and son left, they said they would come back to see me, but they never thought that there would be no fate again. "

"Uncle Wu, there are many affairs in the court and the current situation is complicated. Whether it is the late emperor or His Majesty today, they are entangled in affairs every day, and it is difficult to get out of the palace. Don't blame them for not coming to see you." Lu Qingzhou explained.

"The old man understands how easy it is to be an emperor. He has to pay a price that is unimaginable for ordinary people to enjoy the status of the supreme in the world. Don't blame them."

Lu Qingzhou also told Uncle Wu about sending the martial arts masters to the Forbidden Army camp, and Uncle Wu was very supportive.

Lu Qingzhou: "It's cold in the mountains. You're getting older. I don't feel at ease here alone. Why don't you follow me down the mountain to live in Tokyo, so we can take care of each other."

Uncle Wu was not willing: "I grew up in the villa with your father since I was a child. I have never been anywhere in my life, and I don't want to go anywhere. I just stay here. When I am gone, you come back and bury me in your father's house." Next to the mother's tomb, that's enough."

"Okay, it's fine if you don't want to go, I will come back to see you often in the future." Lu Qingzhou wanted to pay homage to his parents, so Uncle Wu prepared incense paper candles for him, and the three of them came to the Lu family's ancestral grave together.

There is not a single weed on the two earthen graves in front of us, and the surroundings are also well-groomed. It can be seen that Uncle Wu took good care of them.

Lu Qingzhou burned paper money and muttered in a low voice: "Father, mother, I brought your future daughter-in-law to see you." He is the only son of the Lu family, and now that he has found his beloved, his parents are also happy for him.

Both Lu Qingzhou and Uncle Wu knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and Daiyu also imitated them, but Lu Qingzhou stopped him: "You haven't gotten through yet, so you don't have to."

Daiyu said solemnly: "They are elders, and they should receive a few heads from me as a junior. It has nothing to do with whether I am the daughter-in-law of the Lu family." Hearing what she said, Lu Qingzhou followed her, but Uncle Wu felt that Daiyu It's very reasonable, and I will definitely be able to take care of the Lu family in the future.

After the memorial ceremony, Daiyu and Lu Qingzhou cook, let Uncle Wu rest well, and let him enjoy the family happiness.How could Uncle Wu be willing to be idle, he followed the two of them and kept saying, "I never thought that my old man would be so lucky to eat the dishes cooked by the young master and the future young lady. If I could see you two getting married with my own eyes, That’s good, it’s also my wish.”

Lu Qingzhou promised: "Don't worry, when the date of the big wedding is set, I will personally pick you up to attend the wedding, and we will toast you a glass of wedding wine!"

Daiyu also said: "Yeah, when the time comes, I'll take you around the city of Tokyo and eat all the delicacies in my shop. Maybe you'll be so happy that you don't want to go back, hahaha..."

"No, no..." Uncle Wu said, "At that time, I will represent my lord and wife to join in the fun, and let the world see that our Qingyao Villa has produced an indomitable general!"
