[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

Zhou Sheng has been very bored recently, always being caught by Madam Liu to practice the rules.

She is going to marry Gao Gaoxuan at the beginning of next year. The whole Zhou family attaches great importance to this marriage, so a year ago Zhou Sheng was pressured by the family to be familiar with all the matters of the wedding, so she really cares about these troublesome rules and procedures. She is familiar with it by heart, but Mrs. Liu is still worried, and she is asked to practice again on the eve of the wedding, in case she makes mistakes.

Zhou Sheng wanted to hide from Mrs. Zhou, but this time Mrs. Zhou also stood by her mother and made her sensible and understand the good intentions of the whole family. Her father was soft-hearted and wanted to help her, but her mother stared at her. Dad is as wilted as a frosted eggplant, and his submissive appearance is so despised.

There is no way, the family's "life-saving straw" is not on her side, so Zhou Sheng has to hide in the name of visiting the masters of Deyang County and Tong'an County.

Now that the outcome of the battle for the heir apparent has been decided, Grandpa Zhou encouraged Zhou Sheng to take the initiative to make friends with the Lin family. Every time Zhou Sheng got tired of staying at home, he would use this excuse to avoid it and try everything.

Daiyu was spoiled by Zhou Sheng, and relying on her own health gradually getting better, she began to secretly eat some snacks sold at the stalls outside with Shenjiao on her back. Zhou Sheng usually acted as a "carrier" inside, and every time When I came to Lin's house to look for Daiyu to play, I always brought snacks bought from outside.

Zhou Sheng gave Daiyu what she often ate, and she didn't dare to give Daiyu what she hadn't eaten. Gradually, she grew up, almost no different from an ordinary healthy person, but she still kept thinking of the "beauty's lamp that will be broken when the wind blows" said by the Red Mansion.

The Zhou family is an upper-class family in the capital, but due to the influence of the family tradition that has been passed down for a long time, it is not as extravagant and wasteful as the Jia family of the middle-class family. You can eat all the exotic pastries, but her favorite is the candied haws, which are the ordinary candied haws sold by vendors on the street.

Before Zhou Sheng crossed over, he was an ordinary well-to-do family, with no worries about food and clothing. We can’t talk about great wealth, nor can we talk about small wealth and small wealth, so the snacks we usually come into contact with are not as high-end as the Zhou family’s daily food, and the world has gone through countless times. Changes, some dim sum in ancient times have not been handed down to modern times, only the candied haws snack has a long enough history for common people, so that Zhou Sheng, who is in a foreign country, can relieve his homesickness by tasting its taste.

Candied haws is the kind of folk snack that Zhou Sheng eats the most since he came here, so every time he brings snacks to Daiyu, he brings candied haws the most. Zhou Sheng has visited almost all the hawkers selling candied haws in Kyoto, so he knows which one The candied haws are the cleanest and most delicious.

Not long after, Zhou Sheng's sedan chair arrived at the gate of Lin's residence.

Zhou Sheng first went to see Shen Jiao, and after chatting with Shen Jiao for a while, he went to Daiyu's yard to play with her.

Daiyu was currently holding Brother Yuan and playing with a group of maids and maids. Seeing Zhou Sheng coming, she hurriedly handed Brother Yuan into the hands of the wet nurse, and asked the nurse to take him outside to play for a while.

"I'm expecting you to come!"

Zhou Sheng laughed and said, "Are you looking forward to me, or to my snacks?"

Daiyu pulled Zhou Sheng to sit down on the kang, and said with a smile, "I look forward to it all. Of course, you are the one I look forward to the most. Cemei is raising a baby now, so she can't go out easily. The only person I can talk to is you, don't you?" During the time I’ve been here, I’ve been annoyed to stay with a doll like Brother Yuan all day long, I’m so bored.”

Zhou Sheng took the hot tea that Daiyu handed over, and said: "Don't mention it, I almost couldn't get out. My mother has been forcing me to learn the rules these days, but I have been familiar with them for a long time, and she still forced me to learn the rules." Me. I have no choice, I can only use it as an excuse to play with you to escape."

Holding the hot tea in her hand, Daiyu wondered, "Why do weddings have such strict rules? My aunt also taught me about marriage one after another a few months ago, the task is not too heavy."

Zhou Sheng sighed: "Can you compare with me? There are some things I can't say. It depends on the status of that Mr. Gao. You also know that my family attaches great importance to this marriage. There is no room for mistakes."

Daiyu didn't understand at first, but upon hearing what Zhou Sheng said, she immediately came to her senses, and then persuaded: "Since that's the case, you can bear with it for now. After all, you will get married at the beginning of next year, and when you become a family, all matters in the house will be settled." It’s up to you to decide, although it’s a little tiring, it’s a lot more comfortable.”

Zhou Sheng thought about it carefully, and felt that it was such a gift, so he didn't bother anymore. After joking with Daiyu, he asked his personal maid, Wen'er, to bring out the candied haws he bought from outside.

Daiyu opened the box full of expectations, and was a little disappointed when she saw that it was candied haws again, "Why is it again? Although it is delicious, I can't bear to eat it every day."

Zhou Sheng said in a bad mood: "I don't feel bad for saying this. How long have you been in good health? Just thinking about eating all kinds of snacks, they all say that diseases come from the mouth, and no matter how strong your body is, you can't help it like this. This Candied haws are the most harmless snack that I have tried many times to be 'risky', if you are tired of eating them, ask someone else to bring them tomorrow, I will not accompany you."

Daiyu knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she hurried over to put her arms around Zhou Sheng and coaxed, "It's because I have eyes that don't recognize good people, so I shouldn't be picky. My sister is here to make up for you. Sister Jiase, a good sister, are all sisters." No, don't be angry."

Zhou Sheng was so happy to be hugged by Daiyu, so he took advantage of the situation and hugged him back.Daiyu's body is not as thin as before, she has grown some flesh, and it is not so uncomfortable to hold, especially her body has a nice and quiet fragrance, which smells refreshing.That's why Zhou Sheng likes to be by Daiyu's side very much. Now that Daiyu took the initiative to hug her, of course she would take this opportunity to hug her for a while longer.

Daiyu thought that Zhou Sheng had accepted her apology, so she let her hug her, and from time to time gave Zhou Sheng obedience,

Zhou Sheng hugged Daiyu for a while, and finally let go when he felt that it was almost done. He took out a candied haws from the box and handed it to Daiyu: "You can eat this first. When your health is better, I will definitely give you what Jingdu said." I'll buy you all the snacks!"

Daiyu smiled and took the candied haws that Zhou Sheng handed over, and took a bite in front of Zhou Sheng. It tasted sweet and sour.

Seeing that Daiyu had eaten, Zhou Sheng took out one and ate it himself. Coincidentally, Brother Yuan, who was already able to walk, staggered into the room.

Daiyu and Zhou Sheng looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

It's not that he doesn't want to give it to Brother Yuan, but if he lets Brother Yuan eat it, Shen Jiao will definitely know that Daiyu secretly eats the snacks brought in from the small stall outside.Shenjiao also believes in the truth that "diseases come from the mouth", and is extremely strict with Daiyu's diet. Except for allowing Daiyu to eat snacks that Lin Qing brings in from outside from time to time, the rest is fine even if it is the snacks in the house. Give it to Daiyu.

How should I put it, Shen Jiao really cares about Daiyu very much, almost every detail, but people are like this, especially Daiyu is still young, the more you care about her, the more likely you will have a rebellious mentality, and Daiyu's body is visible to the naked eye It's getting better, so Daiyu is not so particular about it, and steals some from time to time to satisfy her cravings.

Sure enough, Brother Yuan saw the crystal clear red candied haws in Daiyu and Zhou Sheng's hands, rushing to Daiyu's feet like a small cannonball. Stretched tall, the mouth is still childish and authentic: "I want... I want... Sister... Sister... Eat... Yuan eat..."

Zhou Sheng looked at the chubby snack at his feet, and said hesitantly: "Or, just give it to him, anyway, it has already been discovered."

Daiyu sighed, put the candied haws in Yuan's hands, and then bent down to hug Yuan, but she was stopped by the wet nurse just as she bent down.

"girl!"

Daiyu paused and looked up at the wet nurse with a puzzled look on her face.

The wet nurse explained: "Girl, my brother is heavy, and the maid is afraid that you won't be able to hold her, and you may hurt yourself later."

Brother Yuan didn't care about these, his left hand tightly grasped the small wooden stick under the candied haws and licked it with relish, while the chubby hand on his right pinched Daiyu's skirt and refused to let go.Originally, Daiyu bent down just now, and Brother Yuan instinctively wanted to step on his feet to let Daiyu pick him up, but he was stopped by the wet nurse halfway, and his big black and bright eyes looked at the wet nurse, then at Daiyu. Daiyu was so willing to take away the candied haws from her mouth, and stretched her hands towards Daiyu, crying out for a 'hug' in a childish voice.

Daiyu saw that Brother Yuan begged for a 'hug', so she didn't think about anything else. She bent down and hugged Brother Yuan's fleshy little body, and said indifferently: "It's okay. Brother Yuan, a child can have a hug." How much? I can hug..."

Daiyu tried several times but failed to pick up Brother Yuan.

Zhou Sheng on the side looked at the toothache and said worriedly: "Weigh it carefully, don't force it."

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Daiyu's smooth forehead, and it was the fifth time that she finally hugged Brother Yuan, out of breath, and smiled at Zhou Sheng: "I said I can hug it? Haha."

Zhou Sheng pinched Brother Yuan's chubby cheeks, and looked at Daiyu calmly.

It seems that it is indeed not the original 'beauty's lamp that is broken by the wind'...

Daiyu and Zhou Sheng played with Brother Yuan for a while, then went to the front yard to look for Shenjiao. As soon as Daiyu saw Shenjiao, she showed that she could hug Brother Yuan, and described the process with Shenjiao happily.

He couldn't be more clear about how much his fat son has. Now hearing Daiyu say that she can hug Brother Yuan, he was surprised and relieved at the same time, feeling that these years of recuperation have finally achieved some results.

Shen Jiao was about to go out at this moment, Daiyu asked Shen Jiao what he was doing, and Shen Jiao said that he was going to see Miss Wanjia.

Miss Wan Jia is Shen Gui's fiancée.

For the convenience of welcoming relatives, Miss Wan Jia came to Kyoto with her parents and friends at the beginning of this year, and settled in another house of the Shen family in the capital.The two newcomers will get married at the end of the year. Although there are people in the palace presiding over the preparations, as the only female character in the Shen family who can speak and do things, she still has to deal with some things.

Daiyu was free, so she dragged Zhou Sheng to go with her.

Shenjiao was in a hurry, so he agreed to Daiyu's request.

After arriving at the mansion, Shen Jiao led Daiyu and Zhou Sheng to Miss Wan's boudoir.

As an 'outsider', Zhou Sheng had very complicated feelings towards this Miss Wanjia. The book described her as Xiaojia Biyu's appearance, and seeing her like this today... um... it was really as stated in the book.

Round face, single eyelids, fair and delicate skin, not tall but not short, with crooked eyebrows and two shallow dimples when he smiles, he is very friendly, a look that is very pleasing to the elderly .It's just that the facial features are too ordinary, more than gentle and dignified but not gorgeous.

Seeing the expressions of joy on the faces of Miss Wan's mother and sister-in-law, Zhou Sheng couldn't bear it.

Everyone speaks of the blessings of the Wan family's previous life. The daughter was able to marry such a powerful and wealthy family. Although the husband and son-in-law were a little older, he was also a young talent with a good appearance and strict family education. An excellent marriage that can be met but not sought after.

However, who would have expected that many years later, this Miss Wan Jia, the future wife of the Duke, would live like a living dead after marriage, unable to live or die.

Lin Qing had enough power in his hands, and he didn't need to come forward to investigate the Queen Mother Lan's past. As long as he had an idea and gave orders, the subordinates could handle the matter beautifully.

Like this time, Lin Qing first found out that the oiran who was famous at the same time as the Empress Dowager Lan was not completely dead. Some of the surviving parts left the capital and returned to their hometowns, and some of them stayed in the capital. Granny Mei.

When Granny Mei was young, she had an east-west relationship with Empress Dowager Lan. Either you overwhelmed me, or I overwhelmed you. What a beauty.

However, after many years, Lan Ji became the empress dowager of another country, aloof and noble, while this Mei Ji was reduced to pimping people to make a living. It was a misfortune that the charming beauty fell into such a state when she got old. people.

……

From Mei Ji's mouth, I learned that when she was young, Lan Ji's favorite object was always Shen Fang, but at that time, Shen Fang was only thinking of making achievements, a proper straight man, and he didn't understand the slightest amorous feelings.However, Princess Nanping's son-in-law has a deep-rooted affection for Queen Mother Lan. If Queen Mother Wenhuan hadn't suppressed him and refused to let him take a concubine, Lan Ji would have entered Princess Nanping's mansion.Later, Lan Ji was redeemed by General Ke. Before leaving, Concubine Li chased him all the way to Xuanhe Pass. Lan Ji felt his infatuation, so she cut off a strand of her long hair and gave it to Concubine Li as a souvenir.

After Lin Qing heard everything, everything was fine and she could understand everything, but... How did Mei Ji, who was far away in the capital, know that the Empress Dowager Lan, who was thousands of miles away, had cut her concubine Li's hair as a souvenir?

However, Mei Ji's next words completely dispelled Lin Qing's doubts, and even made him think about things that he had never thought about before.

It turned out that not only Queen Mother Lan was redeemed by General Ke, but Mei Ji was also redeemed by one of General Ke's capable subordinates. The two actually left Xuanhe Pass together.Later, the team was attacked by Huang Liangguo, and the only survivors were Queen Mother Lan and Mei Ji, two weak women. Queen Mother Lan was taken away, but Mei Ji was able to return to Nanke safely?
