[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

On the shore, several soft sedan chairs are really eye-catching.

Don't take it for granted, it's really the woman's servant standing beside the soft sedan chair, which looks really magnificent.

Someone passed by here later, and I just talked about it.

That one came from Rongguo Mansion.

The two tops in the back came out of a certain adult's house.This lord is the celebrity in front of the emperor, no one dares to underestimate him.

I don't know who these soft sedan chairs are here to pick up.

Others were envious and left.

Not long after, a boat docked.

Several women came out, and the servant woman standing beside the sedan chair of the Rongguo Mansion immediately moved and went up to meet them.

After that, two little girls came out of the boat. They were not very old, their facial features had not yet developed, and they were full of childishness.

One of them was wearing a bright yellow skirt, combing a cloud bun, and had no other hairpin accessories on her body. The clean and white girl was particularly eye-catching.

There was a little girl next to her, although she was also pretty, she was nothing to compare with, and she knew it was a little girl at a glance.

The two people who came down were Daiyu and Xueyan.

Daiyu squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes didn't look around randomly.

Having heard about the prosperity of Beijing, if she looked at it recklessly, she would be disgraced by the Gusu Lin family, and she would be ridiculed by others.

Xueyan became more nervous. She was next to Daiyu, and the hand supporting Daiyu trembled slightly.

The servant who came up to meet her saw it, and immediately despised the little girl in her heart.There was also a bit of laziness on his face.

Xueyan's heart tightened, and she panicked even more.

But Daiyu was more stable at this time, she took a look at the maid, her eyes were clear and clear, but the servant was shocked, she didn't dare to look any more, she lowered her head slightly, and wanted to invite Daiyu to get on the sedan chair.

Only then did Daiyu realize that there were other sedan chairs by the shore, and they appeared to be from rich and powerful families.

And in front of the sedan chair, there was an older man standing, and that man was actually looking this way.

Startled, Daiyu frowned and turned her gaze back.

But Xueyan was shocked all of a sudden, pulled Daiyu's sleeves, and said timidly: "Girl, then, that was the one who came to Gusu to look for me...I, my father."

"Don't be afraid, we will see you again in the future, maybe I just know you are coming today, so I will wait here to see you." Daiyu said in a low voice.

The servant girl on the side stretched her neck, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

Suddenly, a cold gaze fell on them. The servants survived by looking at their masters, so they couldn't be more sensitive. They were startled and turned their heads to look in horror.

——That was the sedan chair parked at the side before.

The curtain of one of the sedan chairs was raised, and a young man was sitting inside watching them, his eyes were cold and menacing, making people frightened.

The servants all trembled, not daring to look at it casually anymore.

They are just third-class servants of Rongguo Mansion, looking at the scenery, but when they are in front of nobles, they are not as good as grass on the ground, so they should be more careful.

This Daiyu had already entered the sedan chair with the help, and Xueyan followed beside her.

The servants didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly shouted: "Get up the sedan chair."

A few young and strong porters walked into the crowd carrying soft sedan chairs.

At this time, Daiyu seemed to have a feeling, unconsciously raised the car curtain slightly, and looked back.

Also weird.

She was not very interested in the bustling scene around her, but she was interested in the two soft sedan chairs.

Are those two soft sedan chairs still waiting for someone?

……

He Shen always watched the figures of the Rongguo Mansion and his party walk away, without shifting their sight a little.

Butler Liu was a little confused.

He was brought here early in the morning, and the young master said he wanted to pick up someone.

When the snow geese came down, Butler Liu understood.

This is to pick up Xueyan and her master!

But right after, Butler Liu saw Xueyan, and the little girl she was supporting, stepped into the sedan chair of Rongguo Mansion.And the son didn't say a word...

Butler Liu was in a hurry: "My lord, aren't we here to pick up that girl?"

"Ah."

"But this person...all, all left." Butler Liu said dryly.

"She is going to her grandfather's house, how can I stop her?" He Shen said indifferently: "Looking at it from a distance, it's okay, so I'm relieved."

Butler Liu was slightly dumbfounded.

This is not the style of a son.

Until they could no longer see the whole group of Rongguo Mansion.

Only then did He Shen say, "Go back."

Steward Liu could only nod his head, and immediately ordered the porter to pick up the sedan chair.

The sedan chair shuttled through the bustling market, He Shen raised the curtain of the sedan chair and looked outside.

Did Daiyu look at the past in the sedan chair of Rongguo Mansion in the same way?

She only brought a snow goose by her side, and the snow goose was too timid and ignorant, she didn't even have half to lean on, so would she feel scared and have nowhere to rely on?

He Shen couldn't help thinking of the original text of the Red Chamber.

Daiyu's mind is too transparent and delicate, ever since she abandoned the boat and went ashore, and saw the servant woman from Rongguo Mansion who came to pick her up, she had already been cautious.

It is precisely because of thinking everywhere and acting carefully that Daiyu's life in Rongguo Mansion is not happy.It is rare that there is an unethical Jia Baoyu who can give her a moment of indulgence and relaxation, but Jia Baoyu is useless.

Thinking of this, He Shen frowned severely.

If it is said that before seeing Daiyu again, he was worried about five points in his heart, but now he has been picked up to ten points.

Daiyu has grown up a lot.

She was six years old when he met her.Now her stature has grown a lot, and the bright yellow skirt is worn on her body, giving her a faint taste of a big girl.

Her brows and eyes are also longer.

As written in the book.

Although the body and face are timid, there is a natural romantic attitude.

Two curved eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy.Two dimples are born in the state of worry, and the disease of being delicate is attacked all over the body.Tears dripped, panting slightly.Quietness is like a beautiful flower shining in the water, and action is like a weak willow supporting the wind.The heart has one more opening than the stem, and the disease is like Xizi's three points.

No wonder it is said to be the reincarnation of the crimson pearl fairy.

He Shen also felt that if there was a fairy in the sky, it should be like Daiyu.

"My lord, are you going back to the house directly?" Butler Liu asked in a low voice while holding the sedan chair outside.

"Ah."

He Shen was also impulsive.

Since he received the letter of approval, he has attracted attention to the dock.

After confirming the date of Daiyu's arrival, he specially asked for leave, brought a soft sedan chair with him, and waited on the shore.

After the people from Rongguo Mansion arrived, He Shen suddenly remembered.Even if he wanted to take care of Daiyu again, and took Daiyu into the house, he would take care of her carefully.He has nothing to do with Daiyu either.

But Rongguo Mansion is Daiyu's maternal ancestral home.

Speaking of etiquette, Daiyu went to her grandfather's house first.

But once this is gone, where will we meet again in the future?

He Shen felt like his heart was thrown into a frying pan, tossed and turned over and over again, no matter how he put it, he felt uncomfortable.

She will suffer and suffer.

Rongguo Mansion is not a good place.

He Shen closed his eyes.

So what should we do?

He Shen went over the relationship between the top and bottom of the Rongguo Mansion in his mind.

He has never had contact with the Rongguo Mansion, but he is afraid that he will have contact with him from today onwards.

Qianlong didn't like the two mansions of Rongning and Ning, because the behavior of these two mansions became more and more absurd, and even the servants in the mansion felt that they were superior to others when they went out.

Qianlong was narrow-minded, and he didn't like anyone to go past him.The servants of Rongning and Ningfu are so presumptuous, how can Qianlong not think too much?

If Heshen wanted to communicate with the Rongguo Mansion, he had to go through Qianlong's eyelids, and he had to be aboveboard and full of excuses.

This is not difficult for He Shen.

He has spent so long in order to subtly convince Qianlong that he is wholeheartedly working for Qianlong, regardless of whether it is good or bad, troublesome, easy, dirty or smelly...

At such a stall, if He Shen approached Rongguo Mansion for Qianlong's sake, he would only get well in front of Qianlong, instead of being suspected of wanting to make friends with Rongguo Mansion and get on the boat of Rongguo Mansion.

With a decision in mind, He Shen quickly implemented it.

Qianlong really praised Heshen.

Qianlong didn't like Rongning and Ningfu, but he had few confidants around him.The powerful ministers in the DPRK also have many contacts with all parties, how can they use them at will?

Only He Shen, whose parents died early, only a few stepmothers left.No one can be the master of Heshen, and Heshen's teacher is inconspicuous, and there is no nepotism in the world.

It couldn't be more desirable.

Qianlong happily handed over the matter to Heshen.

And out of love, Qianlong also ordered a few words: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry about this matter all the time. If you get something, it's a good thing. But if you don't get something, it's not a big problem."

After talking about it, Qianlong's tone was more cordial: "It's a great kindness for you to do business for me with peace of mind."

After the day of the fight, He Shen was promoted again.

Qianlong promoted him to the rank of imperial guard and granted him the deputy capital of Zhenglan Banner.

This is really the person in front of the emperor!

Let's talk about this.

Daiyu supported her mother-in-law's hand, entered the flower gate, passed the chasing veranda, turned around the red sandalwood frame and marble screen, passed through the three halls, and came to the main courtyard.

A few girls in red and green on Shiji hurriedly stood up.

"The old lady was still reading just now, but it happened to be here." Then he opened the curtain.

Daiyu went in, and before meeting her, she was hugged into her arms by Mother Jia. After crying for a while, she was led to meet several aunts, cousins, and sisters-in-law...

After that, I went to visit the courtyard of the eldest uncle and the second uncle respectively.

The uncles were not there, only the aunts Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang talked to her for a while.

Then I heard Mrs. Wang talk about the cousin who was born with jade.

Daiyu had heard about this cousin from her mother earlier, but she had only a shallow impression of him.

After all, when it comes to her elder brother, Daiyu recalled carefully, the elder brother who came to the mansion when she was young and played with her for a few days was more like her elder brother.

Not to mention, Daiyu never broke up with him in the next few years.

The relationship is naturally more intimate than a cousin who has never met.

But he thought so in his heart, but he wanted to boast in his mouth.

Daiyu complimented Mrs. Wang's cousin named "Baoyu", but Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him, he speaks sweet words sometimes, and sometimes he is crazy." Crazy, silly, don't trust him!"

After all, Mrs. Wang didn't know what she thought of, and she sighed lightly.

Daiyu vaguely understood in her heart.

In the past, she had heard that this cousin didn't like reading, but only liked to play with his sisters, so he was often taught by his second uncle.

To say that it is the advantage of being stubborn is to exaggerate him.

In fact, it should be stubbornness.

Daiyu couldn't help but lose her mind.

I don't know what the elder brother I met when I was young looks like now?Shouldn't it be the same as my cousin?

no no.

Daiyu immediately denied it in her heart.

The elder brother often corresponded with his father, and also wrote letters with her.

My father often said that you can tell a person's character by his words and demeanor. Judging from that brother's writing, he should be upright and generous.

It must be different.

While Daiyu was thinking, Mrs. Wang was also looking at her.

Daiyu sensed something, she glanced carefully at Mrs. Wang, and suddenly understood.

Mrs. Wang told her this, but she wanted her not to be like other sisters, spending all day with that naughty cousin?

Daiyu could understand Mrs. Wang's thoughts, but she was somewhat sad in her heart.

Although it is my grandfather's house, it is no more than my own, and I have to spend more time in this way.That's all, keep it in mind in the future, just be careful.

At this time, the maid said back and forth that the meal was passed on from the old lady.

Daiyu was taken to Jiamu's backyard again. As soon as she entered the door, she saw many people waiting by her side.

The posture is very big, and it is very different from the people next to it.

Finished meal.

A servant girl brought a tea tray up.

Daiyu was startled, but she couldn't help remembering that when that elder brother left the house in the early years, he had told her a lot.

At that time, she was young, and she couldn't remember much of it, but her father would relay it to her.

Among them, it is said that after a meal, you must swallow the rice grains, and then drink tea after a while, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach.

Daiyu knew that she was not in good health, and many people worried about her.So this rule has been kept for several years.But this is no longer home, and there is no brother around.

At this time, although all the people around her were relatives, they were all very strange to her.

Daiyu didn't want to be ridiculed by others, and she didn't want to cause trouble, so she could only secretly make up her mind to change the habits she had cultivated at home and follow her grandfather's family.

Daiyu watched what others did, so she followed suit.

She rinsed her mouth, and after washing her hands, she took the tea from the maid and took a few sips.

Jiamu said a few words to Daiyu, and asked her what books she had read. Just as she was talking, she heard footsteps.

The servant girl said, "Baoyu is here!"

Daiyu didn't really want to see this cousin.

She doesn't read as many books as her, and she is also a naughty one.

Not to mention that idiot!

But as soon as the servant girl finished speaking, she saw a young master come in.

This young son was born with a face like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, a color like flowers in the dawn of spring, temples cut like knives, eyebrows like ink paintings, a face like peach petals, and eyes like autumn waves.Although he is angry and sometimes smiles, he is angry and affectionate.On the neck is a gold Chi Yingluo, and there is a five-color silk sash tied with a piece of beautiful jade.

No wonder the sisters in the family love to play with him, because he is actually quite pleasing.

But Daiyu just sighed and didn't take it to heart.

She has seen a son who is more handsome than Baoyu.

Although her memory is blurred now, Daiyu always remembers that the elder brother she met when she was young was even better.

A person who is like the breeze and the moon.

Unlike Baoyu, who looks spoiled and spoiled, boys are born with such appearance, which makes people not like it.

That Baoyu really likes to play with her sisters. When he came in, he set his eyes on Daiyu, and started talking to Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't like him in her heart, but in front of everyone in Jia's house, she knew in her heart that Baoyu was the treasure held by everyone in Jia's house.He answered one by one with his mouth.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu got excited, and after asking her name, he actually wanted to name her.

"I gave my sister a wonderful word, and the word 'twinkle' is wonderful."

The third cousin, Tanchun, laughed at the side: "I'm afraid it's your fabrication again."

Baoyu also laughed: "Except for the "Four Books", there are too many fabricated ones, but I am the only one who can't fabricate them?"

Seeing the two laughing and making noise, Daiyu felt uncomfortable for some reason.

It’s also strange, Daiyu thought unconsciously in her mind——

If it was that elder brother, I'm afraid he wouldn't do this.

At this time, Baoyu suddenly asked again: "Does my sister have any jade?"

"I don't have that. Thinking about it, that jade is a rare thing, how can everyone have it."

Baoyu's face suddenly changed, and he tore off the jade and threw it on the ground hard. He was insane: "What rare thing..."

There was a sudden chaos in the room, and everyone rushed to pick up the jade.

Daiyu's complexion also changed.She was squeezed crookedly and nearly fell down.

This man is really not to be messed with.

Daiyu stood there, a little at a loss, and a little bit like crying.

Baoyu is a rare treasure in the grandfather's family, and everyone holds him in high esteem.When I came here, I was careful all the way, but it caused him to drop the jade. I had heard that the jade was his lifeblood... I also knew that someone should blame her.

At the other end, a group of people surrounded Baoyu to coax Baoyu.

Daiyu stood aside, watching, but her heart felt a little cold, and she didn't want to pay any more attention to this cousin.

In the future, we will go further!

When Baoyu was finally coaxed, Mother Jia called her to her and told the nanny to move out the place where Baoyu lived and let Daiyu live.After the end of winter, make another arrangement.

There was no expression on Daiyu's face, but the warmth in her heart had been wiped clean.

Since it was my cousin's residence, how could I let her live there?

I sent a letter a long time ago, asking her to come to Rongguo Mansion.But didn't she settle out of her residence early?

Daiyu only felt bitterness on the tip of her tongue.

Is this what it's like to live under the fence?

Daiyu was weak and frail since she was young, but she had never suffered such hardships, and she couldn't help but burst into thoughts. For a while, her father was in her mind, and for a while, it was the appearance of her mother when she left, and for a while, it was that vague, disabled man who belonged to that brother. film……

Sour against the heart and lungs.

Daiyu tugged at the handkerchief, lowered her eyes, and said nothing.

Jia's mother coaxed Baoyu to have a good life for a long time, and then she was so moved that he gave up the Bisha cabinet to his sister.

But even so, Baoyu was still full of thoughts: "Good ancestor, how dare you disturb you, just pack up a house from the side and come out..."

Jia's mother shouted at him: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

But there was no stern look on his face.

Daiyu tightened her handkerchief and stopped moving.

But the heart is not peaceful at all.

She has never met her grandmother, but she has admiration in her heart.But at this moment, Daiyu was at a loss.

When she came, a group of relatives from the grandfather's family hugged her and coaxed her, and said things like suffering...

What's the matter, but they couldn't arrange a proper place, so she was squeezed together with her cousin.No matter how you clean it up and move Baoyu to Jiamu's courtyard, it will always be outrageous.

But no matter how much Daiyu thought in her heart, the decision was made.

Jia Mu said that the people she brought were old and young, and few of them were able to take care of them, so she gave her the servant girl, Brother Parrot, and then asked Brother Parrot to accompany her to live in the Bisha cabinet. up.

In a blink of an eye, it was night.

Daiyu tossed and turned but found it difficult to fall asleep.

One is that the bed is unfamiliar and tight; the other is that thinking about Baoyu, the devil king in Jia’s mansion, always makes her feel panicked; …

How long she will stay in Jia's mansion, she doesn't know.

What will happen in the future, she doesn't even know.

It was the ignorance that made her uneasy.

Especially today, will Baoyu's behavior make the second aunt feel unhappy with her?

Thinking about it, Daiyu felt a lot of tightness in her chest.

At this time a maid came in, and Daiyu recognized her and knew that her name was Xiren.It is said that she is a very capable girl in front of Baoyu.

Xiren smiled and asked, "Why isn't the girl resting?"

Brother Ying said: "Miss Lin is very sad. She just came here today and caused your brother's madness. I think it's my own fault..."

Daiyu said in a low voice: "I don't know what is the origin of that jade? I heard there are words on it? If I broke it, I'm afraid it will be a big mistake."

Xiren said with a smile: "I don't even know the origin of the whole family. There are ready-made eyes on it. I heard that it was taken out of his mouth when the grass fell. You will know when I bring it over."

Daiyu hurriedly stopped.

But something was different in my heart.

When Xiren talked about this jade, there was a different kind of intimacy, as if Tong Baoyu was as good as one person.The master is like the lifeblood of jade, and he can also say "you will know when I bring it to you".

The attacker left quickly.

Parrot also lightly turned off the lights.

Daiyu lay on the bed and still did not fall asleep.

She always felt that this Rongguo Mansion was very big, and the rules were also very big.Masters and servants are different from other families.

It seems that the rules are very strict.

But on the first day she came here, she felt that everything was absurd and imprecise.

It's as if, it seems that it is just in a regular-looking shell, and it is inserted into a disintegrated inner.

Daiyu turned over.

Forget it, don't think too much about it.

Daiyu closed her eyes and finally fell asleep.

It's just that he didn't sleep well that night.Maybe he was thinking a little more during the day, but at night he actually had a dream.

The next day Daiyu woke up, and Parrot helped her get up and wash up.

Seeing her dumbfounded, Parrot asked with a smile, "Did the girl not wake up?"

Daiyu shook her head, her face finally became clearer.

In fact, at this time, Daiyu was recalling the scene in the dream.

What did she dream about.

She dreamed that she was five or six years old.

She was standing in her yard when she suddenly heard footsteps outside.

The father came in first, then the teacher, and then a little brother who was very good-looking.

The little brother went straight to her side, called "Yu'er" in his mouth, and then picked her up.

Just the next moment, Daiyu was woken up.

The dream came to an abrupt end, and it took a long time to recover.
