[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

Several nuns were temporarily housed in an inverted room.

When Daiyu went there, all the doors were closed tightly, and there was a dilapidated atmosphere in the courtyard.

Tanchun said: "I said it earlier, I'm afraid it's nothing to look at."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a door open, and a little nun poked her head out cautiously.The little nun was very young and had a very thin face, making her look a little pitiful.

"Are you from the mansion?" the little nun asked in a low voice.

Tanchun nodded and said, "We're here to see Miaoyu."

The little nun shook her head: "You won't see it."

Tanchun was slightly startled: "Why can't I see her? This is the Rongguo Mansion, why can't I see her?"

Only then did Baochai say: "She didn't buy it. I heard that she used to live in Gusu, and her family was also an official family. She said that for some reason, she converted to Buddhism. Naturally, she has an aloof temperament."

"It's also from Gusu?" Daiyu was slightly surprised, but she felt a little bit of interest in her heart.

But she scanned the courtyard and knew that she might not be able to see her today.

He thought that he was going to practice in the Rongguo Mansion after all, and he would see him sometime in the future.

"Then let's go back first. He sounds like an interesting person. It's not too late to meet him some other day." Daiyu said.

Tanchun shook his head, a little unhappy: "I can't get close to such a person."

Xichun also looked at those doors, but there was a hint of yearning in her eyes.Seeing this, Daiyu dared to stay longer, so she walked ahead.

The girls didn't see each other, so they didn't feel angry.

They turned their heads and threw that Miaoyu away.

On this day, Jia's mansion received an order, saying that Enzhun Concubine Rong visited her relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year.

After receiving the decree, Jia's mansion was in a hurry again, and even Tanchun didn't see many people all day long.

Baochai gradually went out less and less. Daiyu didn't quite understand at first, but later she heard Xueyan talk about it.When Shi Xiangyun talked to Baoyu, he always mentioned her and Baochai.

Daiyu felt a little bored in her heart, but at the same time realized that Baochai didn't want to cause more trouble, and became someone else's gossip for no reason.

Daiyu also didn't go out much at all, and stayed in the yard reading all day long.

He Shen sent her a lot of books.

Among them, there are a wide range of categories, including serious poems and books, but some travel notes to pass the time, and some books on biographies, medical skills, farming and mulberry, and art of war.

I'm afraid it would be more than three years to make her fancy.

It was the end of the year, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were busy.

Many local officials also returned to Beijing to report on their duties.

But this did not include Lin Ruhai. On the contrary, it was Jia Yucun who came to visit and met Jia Zheng. He had a good talk with Jia Zheng and made a good relationship before returning.

None of this has been hidden from He Shen's eyes.

"It's someone who knows how to exploit." He Shen said lightly.

He never took Jia Yucun seriously. This man is a hypocrite, and Jia Zheng is a prudence. It would be interesting for the two of them to get together.

"Brother, brother." He Lin knocked on the door outside.

"Enter."

When the door was pushed open, He Shen looked at him: "You don't study hard, what are you doing here?"

He Lin said with a bitter face: "It's the New Year's Eve now, should I prepare some New Year's gifts and send them to Rongguo Mansion?"

"Of course it's not your turn."

"But I've already figured out what to give."

"what to give?"

He Lin took out a set of tea sets from behind: "How about this brother?"

"She's not in shape for tea."

He Lin lost his face.

"But it can be sent. When I send the New Year gift to the Rongguo Mansion, I will put yours and mine together."

Helin laughed immediately.

Perhaps because they grew up dependent on each other, Helin attached great importance to family affection.

So now that He Shen has a fiancée, He Lin is already thinking about how to treat his sister-in-law.

He Shen didn't rush He Lin away immediately, he kept him and checked his homework before letting him go.Turning around, he ordered Liu Quan to ask the kitchen to make some Helin's favorite food.

In the coming year, He Lin will participate in Chunwei.

Don't neglect to eat and drink.

Thinking of giving a New Year's gift.

So He Shen went to the market for a few consecutive days after he finished his court.

If there are too many gold, silver and jewelry gifts, it doesn't make much sense.You have to spend your time looking for something more interesting.

Along the way, I saw some sellers of candied haws, clay figurines, red paper, and red strands...

He Shen bought a lot of things in one go.

Ask the coachman to take him back to the servant's mansion.

After going back.

Liu Quan looked at his master tremblingly, grasping the long and thin red locks with a pair of strong hands, and slowly tied the knot.

After a while, I saw my master holding scissors and cutting blessing papers somewhere.

Liu Quan couldn't help sighing.

To go on like this.

When he gets married to Miss Lin in the future, wouldn't the owner of the red window grille be able to cut it out by himself!

Thinking about the future scene, Liu Quan could hardly help laughing out loud.

Tying wishful knots and cutting blessing papers are the habits He Shen cultivated in his previous life.

Although he came from a good background, his family was not as cold and impersonal as in the TV dramas.On the contrary, every new year, the wishful knots and lucky papers are made by the father himself.He read the Spring Festival couplets, and his father wrote them.After finishing writing, my mother directed my father to post the Spring Festival couplets.

Now that he finished tying wishful knots and cutting out the lucky paper, He Shen picked up a few pieces of paper and folded a few origami cranes, flowers, butterflies, rabbits...

Liu Quan couldn't help but smacked his lips again.

You are so versatile!

He Shen conveniently threw all these things into the box.

The bottom of the box was covered with a layer of pearls, shiny and white.

But it's just used to line up those gadgets.

He Shen asked someone to fetch some preserved candied fruits from the mansion, and put them in glass cups.

This glass was also made by He Shen himself, so the craftsmanship was naturally superior, and there was no trace of impurities between the glass pieces.

The brightly colored candied fruit is placed in the clear glass cup.It looks great.

Not to mention Liu Quan at this moment, the other maids and servants were also slightly dumbfounded.

It doesn't matter how expensive or beautiful this thing is.

With the heart of the master, even a hard-hearted one will be softened into a puddle of water after seeing it.

He Shen stared at the box at this moment, feeling a little regretful.

Because her body is not well adjusted, there are many things that Daiyu can't touch.But when she is well in the future, she can let go.

Except for these odds and ends.

He Shen also prepared headgear, rouge and gouache, silk and satin, rare medicinal materials, and even tea and wine...

There are some things here that Daiyu can take to give to the elders.

After all, she lives in the Rongguo Mansion, and the whole Rongguo Mansion dare not gossip about her.But I'm afraid I'll lose the conversation outside.He Shen is not afraid of fame, but his daughter's family wants fame.

Liu Quan couldn't help muttering secretly again.

Looking at it, it seemed as if she wished to send Miss Lin's food and clothing needs for a year.

Except for the things he personally prepared for Daiyu, Liu Quan went to arrange the annual ceremonies of the Rongguo Mansion and other families who had close acquaintances with Heshen.

He Shen didn't pay any attention to it.

Soon, it will be the first month and the new year.

The number of people in the servant's mansion is small, so it inevitably seems a little deserted.

But He Shen never cared about these things, he and He Lin put the banquet in the house, the curtains were drawn, and it was not cold around the fire in the middle.

It was already snowing outside.

The two looked at the snow while eating.

After staying for a while, some dishes from the palace were delivered to the mansion.

The two just tasted it casually.The rest of the time, I slowly ate tea, drank wine and talked.

The exact opposite is the Rongguo Mansion.

The Rongguo Mansion's master Ding was already prosperous, and there were a large pile of maids and servants, and they were popular enough to surround themselves without opening their mouths.

Today Daiyu is still wrapped in the same red cloak, which surrounds her tightly, with snow geese holding lanterns and azaleas holding umbrellas.

The snowflakes fluttered, but they couldn't get close to her.

Wait for her to step up the steps.

There was a lantern hanging on the corridor, and when they saw Daiyu under the lamp, everyone was in a daze for a moment, as if they had seen a fairy from the Heavenly Palace, but they dared not make a sound to disturb her.

It was still Shi Xiangyun who was wearing a red dress, led the maid from behind, and also jumped up the steps, and said with a smile: "Is that Sister Lin in front?"

Tell her to yell out in this voice, and the mood is gone in an instant.

Daiyu glanced back at her.

Shi Xiangyun didn't dress up in the past, but she dressed up pretty and lively during the Chinese New Year. She was also a naughty and playful person, so when she looked at it under the lamp, her cheeks were slightly red, her skin was fair, and her eyes became lively.

She is a pretty girl.

Daiyu gave her a light nod, without any other greetings, and continued on her way.

After stepping through the door, I saw maids and women passing by, the lights in the room were flickering, and the voices of people overlapped.

"Sister Lin is here!" Wang Xifeng was the first to greet her, took Daiyu's hand affectionately, and led her forward.

Then it was the servant girl Fei Cui who came forward and led Shi Xiangyun to go forward, saying, "Miss Shi." She was very kind.

To be approached.

Daiyu saw that Baochai, Lingyue and others had already arrived first.

Rarely during the New Year, Baochai also changed into the plain clothes of the past. Today she is dressed in light yellow, with a white cloak over her head, looking upright and graceful, beautiful and generous.

Lingyue dressed up even more, and Daiyu could hear the swaying and bumping of her steps.

When Shi Xiangyun saw her, he felt a little apprehensive, and pulled Daiyu's cloak from behind, saying: "Sister Lin is dressed very thickly today."

He wanted to ignore Lingyue over there by talking to others.

Zijuan stepped forward and untied Daiyu's cloak. Naturally, Shi Xiangyun had no place to cling to.

Shi Xiangyun had no choice but to hold back, and sat down next to Daiyu.

Now that everyone is gathered together, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang naturally don't care about the younger generation.But Wang Xifeng would take care of Daiyu from time to time.

Because of the large number of people.

As soon as the banquet was held, Daiyu really tasted a little taste of the New Year from it.

It's just because she was not as close as she used to be with the Rongguo Mansion, after the banquet, watching the fireworks, and having a chat with Jiamu, Daiyu went back early.

The charcoal fire was always burning in the courtyard, so when Daiyu entered the door, she felt quite warm.

Daiyu thought about her icy body when she first entered the mansion, it seems that ten or eight years have passed since now.

After Xueyan waited on her to wash and wash, Daiyu hugged the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

That night, she had another dream.

It's just that this time it's no longer a vague figure in the dream, and I can't even get his name.

When Daiyu raised her head, she could see Ruyu's face.

That is He Shen.

Daiyu unconsciously smiled in the dream, and then fell into a deeper sleep.

The second day of the first lunar month.

The annual gifts of all parties came to the door.

Heshen's New Year's ceremony came first, and before others arrived, the important ceremony came first.

Mrs. Wang distributed those things, and then sent Daiyu over.

Tanchun sighed: "He and the servant are as good as before, but the gift from Sister Lin must be very different from others. I am more curious about the gift from her."

When Shi Xiangyun heard the words, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback: "And the servant? What and the servant?"

"Didn't you keep asking? This is Sister Lin's betrothed fiancé."

"That terrible Rakshasa?"

Wang Xifeng patted her from behind: "What did Sister Shi say?"

She clearly smiled, but the light that burst out from those phoenix eyes made Shi Xiangyun's heart tighten unconsciously, and he immediately shut up.
