The Fate of the Red Chamber

Chapter 104: The Waves Are Undercurrent

In the secret room of Prince Yicheng's mansion, more than a dozen people discussed secretly for four hours, until the sky turned blue and gradually dispersed.The two brothers Mo Han, Shui Rong and Guan Tai were the last to leave.

"Shui Rong, no matter what happens in Beijing, don't interfere. We will deal with it until Mo Han sends someone to replace you. Remember." Liu Xuan pressed Shui Rong's shoulder hard, with a very resolute expression.

Shui Rong knew that this matter had a lot to do with it, and if something happened, the whole thing might change, so he solemnly agreed, "Don't worry, I will be careful."

"Then I'll leave it to you. It can take ten days or two or three months, and I will definitely find a chance to escape here. We will send people to guard the old concubines and concubines in the house, and we will never allow them Let something happen." Mo Han doesn't want to use this method, but it is the least harmful, if done well, the Lin family's reputation can be preserved, it depends on the result.

After the four of them left, Liu Xuan hurried back to the main room, and called the little girl to wash him up, and he had to go to court.

Concubine Liu originally thought that the lord had rested at the concubine's place yesterday, but when she heard the servant girl report that the lord didn't go anywhere at night and rested alone in the study, she was both happy and unhappy.According to the rules, the prince should have rested in a concubine's room last night. The prince has always acted according to the rules and would not change the rules for no reason, but what happened?

She didn't sleep well all night, Lin's Daiyu was a certain queen, but she still couldn't let go, always thinking that something would happen.My prince is not the kind of person who loves beauty, so I have always been very virtuous, but Lin Daiyu is by no means comparable to those women.Just by the way my prince looked at her, I was terrified.

The prince and the Lin family have always been on good terms, and he often visited the Lin family behind his back, but he never told himself why he went to see Lin Daiyu when he came back.Sooner or later, she will be the emperor's man. If the prince is like this, could it be that he was really bewildered by that woman and disregarded the fear of his life?I hung my heart day and night, and finally waited for the emperor's big wedding, but I couldn't put my heart back into my belly without the big wedding.

Liu Xuan didn't make much noise, but Princess Liu was still startled, and hurriedly put on a single dress and got up.

"My lord, it's so early? The concubine will serve you."

"No, it's fine for the maids to serve you. You can go back to bed and it's still dark." Liu Xuan's words may have caring intentions, but his eyes didn't stay on Princess Liu for a second, and he put on the court dress with the maid's hand .

"I'm already awake, and I don't feel sleepy yet. It's still early, my lord, let's have something to eat first. It's not good to blow the wind after emptying my stomach." Concubine Liu is famous for being gentle and virtuous, and she follows Liu every day. Xuan got up together, waited for her husband to go out to court, and then had breakfast to take care of the housework. The affairs of Prince Liu's mansion were nothing more than a piece of cake in her hands.This time, I personally adjusted Liu Xuan's clothes, shoes and socks.

Ever since the little emperor succeeded to the throne, he has been clamoring that it is too early to go to court, and now he usually starts to go to court at the beginning of the morning.This meeting is not yet in Maozheng, and Liu Wang's mansion is close to the palace, so there is no time to eat something before leaving.

Liu Xuan nodded lightly.

Seeing that her husband agreed, Concubine Liu hurriedly ordered her maid to pass on the meal: "Let's serve the meal, and act quickly."

All of a sudden, maidservants came in and out, Liu Xuan finished cleaning up, and a table of food was already set.A large bowl of boiled rotten rice porridge with red bean and yam, a cup of porridge with golden silk and blood oats, a serving of crispy stuffed butter pine, a serving of emerald jade bean cake, a small dish of cashew nuts and celery heart, a dish of oily fresh mushrooms and Drunken Shrimp, Kung Pao Hare, Multicolored Beef Tenderloin, Spiced Young Pigeon, etc.

Although Liu Xuan ate quickly, his movements were still extremely graceful, without any sense of urgency.Concubine Liu herself was not in a hurry to eat, she just served dishes for Liu Xuan.

It’s just that my husband doesn’t have warm deposits, and he never even looked at her affectionately. Thinking of Lin Daiyu, Princess Liu felt a little sour, and asked with a smile on purpose: “In a few days, the emperor and queen will get married. Get busy. It's no wonder the Empress Dowager and the Long Live Lord are so fond of re-empressing the empress, the empress's talent, appearance and character make us fall in love with her when they see her."

Liu Xuan stopped eating, took a deep look at Concubine Liu, and replied in a deep voice: "You must not speak nonsense about the affairs of the Tian family."

When Liu Xuan looked at her, her heart shrank slightly. After ten years of husband and wife and having children, she still respected and feared him, even if she was full of love, she could only hide it in her heart. Dare to resort to the mouth.But her understanding of him has gone deep into her bone marrow. She felt deep pity in his sullen eyes and his awe-inspiring words. It was definitely not for her, but for a woman who was about to become a queen.

"The concubine has lost her word." No matter how turbulent her heart was, she calmed down in just a few seconds. She couldn't lose the prince's heart for a woman who would never share her husband with her. She still has this sense.

Liu Xuan didn't say anything, just put down the bowl and chopsticks and went.Before leaving, leave a sentence: "I may have to come back very late, you don't have to wait for me."

Concubine Liu complied gently, holding back her bitterness and jealousy.

Speaking of Jia's mansion, since Wang Guili married, there has not been a single day in peace, and there is a fake Xue Baochai and real Xue Baochai, not to mention how lively it is.

The next day, when Xue Baochai offered tea to Wang Guili, all the women's masters of Jia's family and Baoyu were sitting there.Baoyu was so shocked that her eyeballs almost fell out. When she woke up, she had an extra second-bedroom grandmother for no reason.

"You, you are Sister Bao?" Baoyu pointed to Xue Baochai and was not sure. Could it be that old ladies and wives would recruit a woman like Sister Bao who lost her virginity to him as a concubine? Impossible, absolutely impossible?

"My concubine's nickname is Baozan, and the second master said that she is my cousin." Baochai Furong smiled and lowered her head shyly.

"Oh, is that so? Which room does the second lady belong to? When I was at my mother's house, I also heard my wife mention Ziwei Sheren Xue's family." Wang Guili is not Baoyu, and she doesn't believe that there are such coincidences and similarities in the world. She, Wang Guili, would never call a lewd and shameless woman a sister.

Mrs. Wang was afraid that things would hurt the face of Baoyu and Jia's family, so she picked up the conversation: "It belongs to Baoyu's family. .”

"I see. There is a girl in the second room of Xue's family who is said to be very good-looking. It seems that she has been ordered to the second son of Mei Hanlin's family. May I ask if she is the elder sister or younger sister of the second wife?" Up to this time, Baochai's tea has not been respected. , Second Grandma Bao seems to be interested in a long chat.

Baochai smiled sweetly and said in a charming voice, "That's my sister."

Mother Jia frowned slightly, and could not ask Baoyu's family to ask any more questions. It would be bad if something went wrong, so she interrupted with a smile: "Okay, your wife and I can rest assured that your sisters are in harmony, and we will serve tea first. Can you tell me?"

Wang Guili raised her eyebrows, she really thought she was a soft persimmon, so easy to bully, if she didn't show some color, she would not be ridden on the head by a slut in the future, she narrowed her smile, and asked seriously: "Old lady, ma'am, granddaughter-in-law, is there something wrong?" Understood, I also ask the old lady and the wife to teach and teach."

"Say what you have to say quickly, don't miss the auspicious time." Mrs. Wang has always disliked Wang Guili, so naturally she would not have any kind words.

"I don't know what's the rule of our Da Yu court for taking concubines?" Wang Guili snorted softly. It's not Madam Wang's turn to decide this Jia family.

"The order of parents and the words of a matchmaker, this is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years. Don't you, a daughter of a thousand gold, and your grandma don't even know this?" Mrs. Wang gave Wang Guili a contemptuous look. In my eyes, let Baochai fight her hard.

It's just that Jia's mother "thumped" in her heart, she didn't know her love well, she looked at Wang Guili with a kind smile and persuaded: "Baoyu's family, things are in a hurry and I haven't had time to talk to you, and I will ask Baozan to kowtow more for you later. .”

"Oh? What's the rush? What's the rush? Could it be that she already has the seeds of the Jia family in her belly? If so, it wouldn't be too late to tell me, right? Since I married into your Jia family, I serve the second master and are filial Parents-in-law, serving old lady, ask yourself carefully and dare not do anything disrespectful. What do you mean by doing this? It is clear that you don’t see me as the second grandma Bao, and there is no Wang family. I am the daughter-in-law of your Jia family Mingmei.

Since you don't want to see me so much, I have no reason not to insist on not leaving, I will make peace with the second master, and you can accept whoever you like. "Wang Guili grew up pampered and was given a marriage by the Queen Mother. How could she put the Jia family members in her eyes, and her words were quite unpleasant, and she even made a face-to-face suggestion like He Li.

There was a rule in Dayu Dynasty that a man must obtain the consent of his wife to take a concubine. This is a right of the mistress of the family.So Wang Guili was not fooling around, she was standing on the ground of reasoning, and the Jia family quietly accepted Baoyu as a concubine, obviously not considering her as a real wife.

She had only been married to the Jia family for two months, and a second-wife grandmother was stuffed in the room. How could she swallow this breath.It was the Jia family's fault for both emotion and reason. There is no reason to marry the second wife within a few months of the newlyweds. This is clearly a slap in the face of the Queen Mother.

At that time, Jia Mu and others were forced by the Lin family to pay back the money and went crazy. They only wanted to get Baochai's 10 taels of silver as soon as possible, completely forgetting that Baoyu has married a daughter-in-law now.This time Wang Guili broke out, the Jia family not only could not blame her, but also persuaded her softly, so as to comfort her, don't let her accuse her before the Queen Mother.

"Baoyu's daughter-in-law, don't be in a hurry. Your wife thinks that Baoyu is not young, and your stomach hasn't moved. She is a loving mother and is in a hurry. Don't blame her. Now that Baozhan has entered the door, you Let's get along well and support Baoyu together." Mother Jia really regretted it at the beginning, so why cling to the 10 taels of silver and be reluctant to part with it, it's all right now, it's nothing to do with making holes in the Lin family and messing with the Wang family.

"I, I have been in the house for less than three months, and my wife wants to hold a grandson. Our Wang family girl can't do such a shameful thing. It's not as shameless as Xue's girl with wrists. Second master, it's all Li'er, no luck, can't I’ve been serving you all the time, Er Ye, you have to take care of yourself in the future, Li’er is not welcome, so let’s ask for it.” Wang Guili is still an actress, and she was crying while talking, pear blossoms raining, and she held Baoyu’s hand Crying so miserably.

After Baoyu was rejected by Daiyu, she figured out many things, knowing that her mother didn't want to see Sister Lin, and even Qingwen and others were annoyed.Since he was weak and timid, he dared not refute Mrs. Wang, but he changed his mind after receiving this blow.Later, when Wang Guili came in, although she had a bad temper, she spoke frankly and didn't twitch, and she didn't persuade him to study and improve, so she gradually shifted her heart a little bit to her.

Baoyu thought, he is a man, and if he is married, he should protect her and prevent her from being bullied, so much so that he dared to contradict Mrs. Wang once or twice because of Wang Guili.This time, he didn't know about the [-] silver. He really felt that Mrs. Wang had done something wrong, and she gave him a second room without saying a word. He couldn't blame Wang Guili for being angry and sad.

"Li'er, don't cry. I'm here. Old lady, sister Xue is the daughter of a good family. How can I ruin her? You should send her back." Baoyu said while comforting Wang Guili.

The words made Mrs. Wang furious. Baoyu listened to her since she was a child, and she became like this because Wang Guili made troubles. She is a mother-in-law, and she can't cure her. Can she make trouble?Mrs. Wang pointed at Baoyu fiercely, and cursed: "Baoyu, why are you a man meddling in the affairs of the inner house? Your daughter-in-law is not good, and she even resists taking a concubine. What does such a daughter-in-law want to do, you hurry up A divorce letter divorced her."

Mother Jia was so angry that her veins burst out, and before she could shut up, Wang Guili was crying hoarsely, pulling Baoyu's clothes and sobbing: "Second Master, although I, I haven't been with you for long, but we are loving and loving." Never quarreled. If you want to divorce me, I didn't say a word, but I can't ignore the second master, I,, I was a marriage gifted by the empress dowager, if you divorce me, this, this is from the Jia family For crimes, ranging from dismissal from office to exile.

How could I be willing to suffer like this.I'd better go by myself, the empress dowager knows that I asked for the reconciliation, even if it's my fault, it's my fault, so I won't implicate the second master. After finishing speaking, the whole person cried and fainted in Baoyu's arms.

Baoyu was so anxious that he ran back to the yard with Wang Guili in his arms, calling for the imperial physician.

Mother Jia didn't care about punishing Mrs. Wang, she stared at her coldly, and hurriedly chased after her with the help of her maid.Mrs. Wang was a little dazed for a moment, but she didn't think too much, she just said something angry casually, if it spread to the palace, her life would be over.

Baochai was still kneeling on the ground. She had heard about the name of this young lady from the Wang family, and she only thought she was an unruly and capricious young lady. When the time came when she was run over by a few words, she pretended to be pitiful, not worrying about not being able to hold Wang Guili.I don't think Wang Guili is quite scheming, and every word she says is for Baoyu's sake. No wonder she won Baoyu's heart after a month of marriage. She is really careless.

It's not that she wants to marry into Jia's family too much, it's just that her statement is completely ruined, and no family will want her to be a daughter-in-law.After experiencing Zhang Lang's incident, she regained her incomparable desire for power. If she had power, how could she suffer such humiliation.

But in front of her, she really had no other choice except the Jia family.Firstly, she is familiar with the Jia family and knows how to handle Mrs. Wang; secondly, she understands Baoyu and treats the sisters best, and she will not suffer when she goes; thirdly, with her appearance and scheming, She didn't believe that if she couldn't beat a savage girl, the Jia family's wealth and status would belong to her.However, in the first round today, she realized that she was thinking too simply, and the Queen Mother could kill her with a single word.

The matter of Baoyu and Baochai being the second wife finally came to an end, but Baochai did not leave, she stayed in Jia's mansion, and Mrs. Jia's mother took money from Xue's family and dared not drive her away. Little good.

Of course, Wang Guili would not just let it go, she brought the matter to Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng, in order to give the Wang family an explanation, once again punished Mrs. Wang for confinement in the Buddhist hall, and the power of the Jia family was transferred to Wang Guili.Instead of posting her dowry, Wang Guili used Jia Zheng's hand to get all of Mrs. Wang's body out and put it into her pocket. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she fell ill in the Buddhist hall.

Baochai didn't have a good life. Wang Guili treated her well on the surface, but secretly stumbling her and humiliating her with words, anyway, it tortured Baochai terribly.Baochai couldn't help suspecting that it was a mistake for her to go all out to enter Jia's mansion.

Before the emperor's wedding, Shui Rong was sent to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors.It was during this period that the first emperor went, and in addition, he had to report the emperor's wedding to the ancestors of the Liu family, while other members of the royal family either had complicated affairs or stayed in Beijing to watch the excitement. , and finally only water-soluble will automatically ask for orders.

The day before the big wedding, after several months of busyness in the Lin Mansion, it was completely quiet at this moment, waiting for the grand event tomorrow.

The nuns and maids have been watching for several months, and nothing happened. Today is the last day, and there is no possibility of another accident. They all went to sleep in peace, and they will wake up in the middle of the night.

Mo Han and Dai Yu sat on the bed together, Dai Yu's black hair was scattered on Mo Han's chest, exuding a sweet fragrance, the two remained silent for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, everything is ready. Don't worry about me, I will stay here for a while, I will do my tricks well, and I will see you soon." For many years, they have not been separated for a day, this time , but it was a last resort, but he still couldn't stand such a separation, he just felt that his heart had become empty, as if he stayed on her body and couldn't come back.

There was a beautiful smile on Daiyu's lips. She couldn't cry, and she couldn't let him worry about her day and night. She said that she would bear all this with him, so she must become brave and strong.Life or death can't separate them.He gave birth to her life, he died and she died.That being the case, what is there to be afraid of?

She just leaned on him softly, leaning on him gently, and conveyed her peace to him. There is nothing more exciting than the peace at this moment.
