[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

It is said that when Jia Baoyu saw the attacker vomit blood and passed out, the guilt in his heart reached the extreme, and he rushed to Mrs. Wang.

Along the way, he was so aggressive that the servant who used to tease and play with him suddenly withdrew his playful smile and gave way to Jia Baoyu with a wink.

Jia Baoyu came to Mrs. Wang's residence all the way rain or shine. Caiyun and Caixia were sitting at the door talking with Yinger. Seeing Jia Baoyu approaching aggressively, Caiyun hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Why is the second master here? The wife is in the room with Miss Bao. speak."

It's okay not to mention Xue Baochai, but when she is mentioned, Jia Baoyu can't help but think of Xue Pan, the culprit who caused the attacker to be coveted by Qi Guan'er!

Jia Baoyu didn't want to vent his anger, but also knew that Xue Baochai was a different person from her brother, and her younger sister should not be blamed for his brother's mess.But now that the matter of attacking people is imminent, she is still chatting quietly with her wife in the years.The contrast between the two sides is really strong, and the balance in Jia Baoyu's heart has to be biased towards Xiren.

So he sneered and said, "So what if she's here? I can't see my wife if she's here? What a big air!"

After all, he walked into the house.

The three little girls stood on the ground and looked at each other, apparently not understanding why this master was going crazy.

Caiyun was choked by Jia Baoyu's words, and resentfully returned to her original position and sat down.

Caixia muttered, "I've taken gunpowder, and I'm so angry."

Then she turned around and asked Ying'er, "What happened to the second master and your girl? Why did you get so angry when you mentioned her?"

Ying'er was also confused, and shook her head blankly, "I don't know. Recently, my daughter deliberately avoided the second master Bao, and the two of them have never even seen each other, so where is the conflict?"

"Hey...that's weird." Caixia glanced into the room suspiciously, and murmured: "Although Second Master Bao's temper is a bit weird, he has always had a good temper. Why did he get so angry this time?"

Inside the room, Mrs. Wang was smiling and pulling Xue Baochai to talk about things.

Xue Baochai is now 17 years old, she has fully grown, her appearance is more beautiful than before, her figure is more plump, her muscles and bones are radiant, she really looks like a beauty piled in the snow, lively, fragrant, mature and moist.

In the past, Jia Baoyu had to be attracted by Xue Baochai's stunning appearance, but now his eyes and heart are full of anger, so there is no time to appreciate these things.

Mrs. Wang was taken aback by Baoyu's sudden appearance, and she couldn't help frowning slightly, "Why don't you send someone to notify me, I'm surprised by the suddenness."

Jia Baoyu made a salute: "The son has something to tell his wife, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't bother to let someone tell him."

Mrs. Wang's frowning brows were slightly relaxed, but she still taught the lesson: "It's just such a reckless temper, it doesn't make much progress when it grows so big."

Jia Baoyu smiled apologetically and said, "My wife taught me a lesson. Although my son is fifteen years old, my wife is still my wife, so I still have to teach him a lesson."

Mrs. Wang saw that her son had a good attitude of admitting his mistake, so she didn't pursue it any further, and then asked Jia Baoyu if he was eating well, sleeping soundly, and whether he was studying for homework.

Xue Baochai was very discerning, knowing that it was not appropriate for her to be alone with an outsider in this kind of mother-child harmony scene, so she got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Wang.

As usual, Mrs. Wang asked Xue Baochai to come and play frequently, and Xue Baochai also agreed with a smile.

Originally everything was quite harmonious, but when Xue Baochai passed by Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu snorted coldly at her.

Xue Baochai was stunned immediately, not understanding why Jia Baoyu did this.But scruples about Mrs. Wang's presence, so he had to endure it, pretending to have nothing to do and leave.

After Xue Baochai left, Mrs. Wang immediately changed her face, and asked Jia Baoyu: "It's so good, why do you treat your sister Bao like that?"

Jia Baoyu didn't expect Mrs. Wang to be so sharp-sighted, so she cut straight to the point and asked, "Did the Zhongshun Palace send someone to be a matchmaker for Qi Guaner's attack?"

Mrs. Wang frowned, "Where did you hear that?"

"Don't worry about where I heard it, my wife just said yes."

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Baoyu's resolute appearance, and knew that this matter could no longer be concealed. She thought that she wanted Jia Baoyu to know, so she decided to choose another day rather than bump into it.

Sighing, nodded: "That's right."

Although Jia Baoyu was mentally prepared, he was still a little annoyed when he saw Mrs. Wang admitting it with his own eyes, "Why! Doesn't Madam know that Qi Guaner is already a useless person? Xiren has served me for so many years, and there is hard work without credit. What good did you say to her, but now you want to push her into the fire pit! How can there be such a reason in the world!"

Mrs. Wang had a headache: "Then what can I do? This is the marriage that Prince Zhongshun came to ask for in person. The courtesies are very thorough and the words are sincere, and there is nothing wrong with it. If you refuse, it will be a blatant refute to the face of Prince Zhongshun. You often walk around, Xie family You must have heard about it, right? His family is blessed, and the Zhongshun Palace has a deep relationship with the Xie family. If you offend his family because of this, you can bear the consequences!"

It sounds nice, but Mrs. Wang doesn't take this seriously at all!It's just a maidservant who gives birth to a family, and it's not a girl or a lady. If you want it, you can do it.Although it is a little wronged to marry an eunuch, but after all, marrying the past is a good woman, isn't it?You don't have to be a concubine or a maidservant, that's already worthy of her.

Jia Baoyu was still yelling unconvinced, "What's the point of using a woman as a favor? His family is powerful, so he can treat a girl from a good family as a human being? It's a bit unreasonable!"

Mrs. Wang knew that Xiren had always been valued by Jia Baoyu, and now that Xiren was about to leave, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, so she patiently coaxed: "There is nothing we can do. At worst, I will prepare a generous dowry for her. She got married in a beautiful way, do you think this is good?"

Jia Baoyu snorted coldly, "Marrying such a person is already a misfortune, if we want to let her get married again, wouldn't it be like stabbing a knife in her heart?"

Mrs. Wang was about to persuade her, but Caixia came in and said that the master was coming this way. Jia Baoyu turned pale with fright, and she didn't have the slightest confidence to seek justice for the attacker.

Mrs. Wang was also afraid that he would not have the eyes to mention this matter in front of Jia Zheng, so she immediately put on a serious look and said intimidatingly: "Be good, don't mention this matter in front of your father. It was because you didn't learn well, and Qi People like Guan'er are remembered only when they make friends with attackers, so it's no wonder that this is happening now."

Jia Baoyu listened obediently, hoping Mrs. Wang would let him go quickly, he really didn't want to face Jia Zheng.

Mrs. Wang couldn't bear to see him so pitiful, so she told him a few words casually, and let him go out quickly.

Jia Baoyu got Mrs. Wang's permission and ran away immediately. In the end, Jia Zheng was delayed by some things on the road, so he didn't run into Jia Baoyu head-on, and Jia Baoyu escaped.

The new year is over, and it is a new year in a blink of an eye.

The emperor finally adopted Xia Zhen's plan and decided to temporarily delay the strategy.

However, although this strategy is a good strategy, whether it can be successful or not depends on the envoys who are sent as envoys.

The emperor thought hard, and finally decided to send Qin Gong, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, to go.

Qin Gong, whose name is Sijing, is from the capital, and is Qin Run's father.He is very smooth and eloquent.

It is worth mentioning that this person's test scores are legendary.

It's not how good he is, but in the officialdom of the Nanke Kingdom, where heroes are judged by their test scores, this guy actually climbed to the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites in his sixties, even as a Beijing official, when his education was only a juren!

You know, Lu Wenzheng also became the minister of punishment at this age.

So how could this Qin Gong have such a chance?

Hey, the answer lies in his slickness!

To be precise, this old man had a low starting point, bad grades, and couldn't find any great points in terms of personality and conduct, so he didn't have much luck with the nobles, so he could only wait at the grassroots for a long time, and was forced to fight with all kinds of people. Dealing with bulls, ghosts and snakes on the road.

However, misfortune depends on fortune, and fortune rests on misfortune.

The long-term experience of working at the grassroots level has allowed him to develop a set of skills of "talking people when he sees people, talking nonsense when he sees people".

That flattery is called a trick!

It has really reached the highest level of flattering - 'moisturizing things silently'.You can't tell he's kissing your ass, but it's somehow comforting to hear him talk.

In particular, this person is quite capable, and he is a person who 'does anything to achieve his goals'.If you can't get promoted based on your political achievements, then take the simplest and most brutal solution - giving gifts until the other party is satisfied.

In fact, gift giving is also a science. It doesn't mean that if you give it to others, they will accept it. This also depends on the relationship.But Qin Gong didn't have any worries in this regard, relying on a sharp tongue, Qin Gong always coaxed the recipient of the gift into ecstasy, patted his chest and repeatedly promised, brother, this matter will be on me!

In this way, relying on the ability to pull and beat with one hand, Qin Gong Leng stood out from the crowd of Jinshi and Shujishi, and was promoted from a low-level sesame official to the current third-rank Rites Zuo Shilang.

I don't comment on his behavior, but his behavior is more slippery than that of a loach, which is also admirable.

Now I choose him, but I really complied with that sentence.

Industry specializing in surgery!

After confirming the candidate, all that remains is to set the date of the mission, which is mid-April this year.

There was Li Yifang in the entourage, this fellow was completely mixed up in the military, so it was not surprising that he would be assigned.

It's just... why is Lin Qing, who is the head of the military department, also in the entourage?

When Lin Qing received the appointment, Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out. He really didn't understand what the emperor meant.But due to the king's order, he had to suppress his doubts and accept it obediently.

There is a rule in Nanke State that all princes and princesses must go through a canonization ceremony one month before their marriage.

Since the wedding of the fourth and fifth princesses was scheduled for early March, the canonization ceremony was scheduled for early February.

In the end, the fourth princess was named Princess Changning, and the fifth princess was named Princess Ding'an.

The Princess Mansion was built when the two princesses were ten years old, and the title plaques were hung up when the princesses were granted titles as adults.

Ever since the queen fell ill, Concubine Xian has been in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and now she even arranges the wedding of the two princesses herself.

Originally the wedding date was set in June, but the queen's condition became more and more serious, and the imperial doctor even asserted that the queen would not survive this summer.

Therefore, in order not to delay the weddings of the princesses, but also to celebrate the sickness of the queen, the wedding was held three months in advance.

Daiyu specially lived in the palace to accompany Xia Yi half a month before the marriage (this was Xia Yi's strong request, although it was against the rules, but at this time it was the concubine Xian who was in power, and she was used to being kind and amiable. Xia Yi acted like a baby to her, and she also agreed, and turned a blind eye to this matter.), these two are handkerchiefs, and the relationship is extraordinary, and they can't be with each other on the most important day in their lives.

Although the fifth princess is used to blah blah blah, when it comes to such a serious and important occasion, she feels somewhat apprehensive.

On the eve of the wedding, whether to eat well or sleep well, the originally lovely and round almond eyes were flushed, and now they are even more black.

Daiyu had no choice but to remind her: "Look at your eyes, they are boiled like a rabbit, and you will get married in a few days. If you don't take a good rest, no amount of powder can cover your dark circles."

Xia Yi was also very helpless, "I don't want to, but I'm just nervous, what can I do?"

Daiyu thought about it and came up with an idea.

"In short, you need to have a good rest these few days. Otherwise, you can go to Xiangtai Hospital to get some tranquilizing aromatherapy, and put it on the bedside every day before going to bed. It is best to take a stronger medicine or a weaker one... Daiyu looked at the thick bags under the eyes of the fifth princess, and her uncertain tone immediately became firm, "I'm afraid the weaker ones won't work, and the more effective ones are better."

"Although relying on fragrances to fall asleep is not good for your health, but that refers to the long-term. We only care about these few days. Wait until the wedding is over, and then remove the aromatherapy."

The fifth princess thought it was a good idea, so she called Yinger and was about to tell her to go to the imperial hospital.

Daiyu quickly instructed again, "You must choose those spices with low addictive properties. Although there will be no serious problems for a few days, you can't go wrong if you pay more attention."

The fifth princess frowned slightly when she heard the words, "Then if you want to say that, you might as well borrow it from Brother Fifth."

"Five princes?"

The fifth princess nodded, "My fifth brother has a little hobby. He likes to mix various spices. Those imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are far less good at spices than my fifth brother."

Daiyu wondered, she thought that apart from women and professionals, no one else would be interested in spices.Didn't expect not only to be there, but also to be a dignified prince?

But after thinking about it, people have various hobbies, maybe it's just that she is ignorant.

Just do it, the fifth princess immediately ordered Yinger to go to Yangyi Hall to find Xia Zhen.After hearing Yinger's explanation of her intentions, Xia Zhen packed the spices for her without saying a word, and also thoughtfully attached the dosage instructions.

After Xia Yi used this spice, not only was he able to fall asleep, but he also calmed down a lot of his anxiety over the past few days, and the dark circles under his eyes dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tsk tsk, this craftsmanship is absolutely perfect.

In early March, the wedding took place as scheduled.

On this day, the princess will go to Fengtian Hall in person to bid farewell in a dress, and pay four respects to the emperor and empress.

The emperor and empress disciplined them according to etiquette.

After the princess accepted the admonition, she bowed four more times.

Then go out, all the wives sent the princess to the door of the inner hall, and the princess boarded the sedan chair under everyone's attention.

After arriving at the inner east gate, the consort who had been waiting for a long time opened the sedan chair curtain, helped the princess get off the sedan chair, and sent her to the honor guard car.

The son-in-law then took the wild geese from the attendants around him and handed them over to the eunuch who presided over the wedding.

Then the son-in-law can get on the horse.

The princess's guard of honor car followed, and the wives of the princes and officials followed behind the guard of honor car to send the new couple to the mansion.

After the son-in-law arrived at the mansion, he first waited at the door.

After the princess's ceremonial car arrived, the son-in-law lifted the curtain to help the princess get off the car, and the two walked together to the ancestral hall in the mansion.

The son-in-law stood on the east side of the ancestral hall, and the princess stood on the west side, and bowed to each other twice.

Then hand in hand to the new house, the son-in-law and the princess face to face next to the wedding bed and salute again.

Then go up to the marriage bed, the son-in-law sits on the east side, the princess sits on the west side, and the maids offer food and marriage according to the etiquette, and then bow to each other.

The day after the wedding, the princess met her parents-in-law accompanied by her son-in-law. The princess bowed four times to them, and the parents-in-law returned two bows.

On the tenth day of the wedding, the son-in-law immediately goes to the court to express gratitude and perform five prostrations.

In this way, this grueling but ceremonial princess wedding is completely completed.

Three months after the wedding, the princess can directly take the consort back to live in the princess mansion.

The birthdays of the fourth princess Xia Yi and the fifth princess Xia Yi were less than a month apart, and the two of them were always next to each other when they were young, no matter their clothes, jewelry or other things.

The only difference is that Xia Yan is the older sister, who is also frail and sickly, and is favored by the emperor's father. She is the first to pick out any good things.

Because the two princesses are about the same age, their respective princess mansions were built at about the same time, and the completion dates are only a few days apart.

It's just that the mansion has been built, but Xia Xu has to decide which princess lives in which princess mansion.

Xia Yi originally thought that the Princess Mansion with the best location this time must be for Xia Yan, but she never thought that it would be given to her!

This made Xia Yi excited and happy, and lamented that her father still loved her and gave her a better house than Xia Yi when she got married.

Uh... This is obviously Xia Yi's overthinking.

In fact, although the location of the other Princess Mansion is not as good as Xia Yi's, and the decoration is indeed not as gorgeous as Xia Yi's, it is quiet and elegant, and it is a good place to live.

Xia Yan was in poor health, frail and sickly, so the old father chose this mansion for her to live in.

In other words, although Xia Yi got the 'best' Princess Mansion, he was still selected as the rest?

Uh uh... the truth of the matter is too cruel.
