The Fate of the Red Chamber

On the second day, the third day of junior high school, in Lin's mansion, Daiyu personally watched the servants load many valuable things into the carriage, and asked Chunxian to count them carefully, and every item was not bad, before she and Mo Han set off for Princess Ning'an Go to the government.

The main door of the Princess Mansion was wide open, and another capable Nanny Qin beside the Princess had long been waiting at the door, and politely took the siblings in.Except for the two brothers and sisters of the Lin family, no one else seemed to come.Who in the capital doesn't know that Princess Ning'an has such a high status and an arrogant temper that idlers can't get close to her. As time goes on, no one comes to her door, but it's just that she sent her family members to give gifts during the New Year's Eve. Not ordinary people.

Today, the Princess Mansion attaches so much importance to the brothers and sisters of the Lin family, which shows its love for them.

"Yu'er, follow grandma to the house to talk, it's very cold outside." Princess Ning'an smiled kindly and looked good, she took Daiyu's hand and took it inside, refusing to let the two salute.

Behind the princess was a large group of people, apart from the concubine's acquaintance, there were also two young men, both of whom were very energetic and dignified, and two other beauties were waiting on their side.Daiyu Mohan thought to herself, presumably she is the princess' son and daughter-in-law.

The princess directly took Daiyu and sat on the warm kang, and the two daughter-in-laws waited on her left and right: "You all sit down, there are so many rules. Mohan sits next to me." Pointing to the huanghuali armchair on the lower right of himself, the son-in-law sat on the lower left.

Hearing this, Mo Han told him to take his seat, and the two sons sat on the chairs below, with their respective wives sitting on the bottom.

"You don't know each other. These are my eldest son Guan Fei and eldest daughter-in-law Dong Shi, second son Guan Tai and second daughter-in-law Kong Shi. According to their seniority, they have to be called uncle and aunt." The princess explained to Daiyu brothers and sisters that she couldn't bear it. Zhu also laughed, thinking of his son and daughter-in-law suddenly showing such an expression on his two nephews and nieces, it was so funny.

Sure enough, Guan Tai's handsome face twitched. Lin Mohan was only a few years younger than him, and he looked mature. If he called him uncle, he would be so cold.

Although Daiyu and the others thought it was funny, they left the seniority and inferiority alone, stood up together with Mo Han and greeted the four of them.

Guan Fei is now working in the Ministry of War. Back then, the former emperor loved his youngest sister, and made an exception and bestowed on him the false title of General of the State. His wife, Dong, came from a wealthy Dong family in Hunan, and his father-in-law was Dong Mikun, the governor of the two lakes.He has two sons, both around ten years old.

Guan Tai has been eccentric since he was a child, he doesn't like to read the serious Four Books and Five Classics, he only likes to read those poems and songs, and he is also a well-known swinger in the capital.The princess said whatever she wanted, that's why he was willing to accept the idle position of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu. At the age of 22, she was forced by the princess to marry Ms. Kong, a direct descendant of the Kong family in Shandong. The marriage was quite amicable after two years of marriage, and she has no children so far.

"Yu'er doesn't know. For the past half month, I have heard my mother talk about you almost every day. When I saw you today, I knew it was true. Even I loved and pitied me when I saw it, let alone the princess. In fact, my first mother-in-law is your family. What about Miss, our two families are also relatives by marriage, but we have not moved around a little over the years, I don’t think we are destined to be together, and we have become a family again without being in the capital.”

The one who spoke was Guan Tai's wife Kong Shi, although she was born in the Kong family, she was actually a lively girl who liked to talk and laugh, so Guan Tai was subdued.Today I am wearing a lite-colored tunic jacket with silver and red sprinkled with gold patterns, and the collar of the lotus-colored tunic can be vaguely seen inside. The gold silk inlaid with rubies and double luan dots emerald green steps shake and flash as she speaks. , Remarkably graceful in grace.

When Daiyu heard this, she felt more cordial, and happily took Kong's hand and asked with a smile: "I also heard from my father that there was an aunt in my ancestors who married far away and went to Shandong. It's just because the Lin family's heirs are not prosperous, and there are only a few generations. Occasionally, there will be one or two young ladies who are extremely pampered and pampered, so Daiyu feels that everyone who is related to her by blood is very kind.

"That's true. It is said that the marriage was bestowed by the emperor at that time. For a while, the grandma of the Lin family's aunt's marriage became the object of comparison between the girls and grandmothers in Beijing. It's a pity that I was born late, so I didn't see it." The princess saw everyone. Harmonious, happy in the heart, the more smiling.

"Mother, you were not born too late at all. If you were born many years earlier and asked Dad to marry someone, where would we still be?" Guan Tai is the youngest son, so naturally he is favored by the princess. Every time the princess is amused.

The princess pretended to be angry, but in the end she couldn't get angry, she pointed at Guan Tai and gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "Damn boy, did you talk to your mother like that? I will ask your father to clean you up later, if you don't hit you recently, your skin is itchy." Bar."

"Mother, you were so angry that you wanted to beat your younger brother this time. You really beat him. You were going to tear down the Imperial Hospital at that time. You blamed them for their poor medical skills. It took a month to heal a little injury. Now, except for Imperial Doctor Hua, Who else would dare to come to our house." The Dong family is dignified and virtuous, and is highly respected by the princess, seeing everyone talking lively, she couldn't help making fun of the old things.

Daiyuyuan was a little apprehensive, afraid that the royal relatives and relatives would be difficult to get along with.Unexpectedly, the atmosphere in the Princess Mansion is better than that in Jia's Mansion back then. One doesn't follow the rules of daughter-in-law and mother-in-law like Jia's Mansion, and besides, uncles and aunts are very easy-going and don't put on airs.

While chatting and laughing, a maid serving outside came to report: "If you go back to the princess, Prince Yicheng is here to pay the princess New Year's greetings and is waiting outside the courtyard."

One is the princess and the other is the prince. They have the same identity, but the princess is the aunt of the prince, so they are naturally different.

When the princess heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "please come in soon. Wanzhi, Ruoli, you take Yu'er to play in the back hall first, so you can watch, don't restrain her. Yu'er, although Xuan'er is not an outsider, but Your temperamental grandma knows that this is your home, if you lack anything to eat, just ask your servants to do it, and you must not wrong yourself."

Daiyu was secretly satisfied, in the end it was grandma who was thoughtful, knowing that she didn't like to see outside men, presumably grandma also understood brother's intentions.The Dong family and the Kong family supported Daiyu from left to right and retreated from behind.

When Prince Yicheng Liu Xuan came in, he only saw a corner of the goose-yellow dress floating under the curtain, he was surprised, since he came to the Princess Mansion, his aunt never shy away from it. few.Could it be that someone else went there just now, but my aunt has a noble temper, and idlers never catch her eyes.

Entering the hall, he caught a glimpse of Lin Mohan standing aside at a glance. He had seen Mohan from a distance at several banquets, and he knew in his heart that the one who stepped back before must be Princess Hanxiang of the Lin family.In a daze, I heard someone mention that Princess Hanxiang is in poor health and rarely goes out. It seems that my aunt has a very close relationship with the Lin family.

"My nephew sends greetings to my aunt and uncle. I wish my aunt and uncle all the best, peace and happiness." Royal blue brocade robe, a gold belt embroidered with double dragons grabbing pearls around the waist, black boots, and the cloak that was taken off when entering the door .Thick black hair tied with a gold crown, indifferent and distant star eyes, handsome face with sharp water chestnuts, and seductive pink lips, the whole person is filled with a discordant atmosphere, both cold and passionate, and what he has been concealing Mo Han sees through the king's aura that dominates the world at a glance.

The princess hadn't talked to her nephew for a long time, so she was naturally happy to see him now, and hurriedly called him up.Mo Han got up long before Liu Xuan came in and went out to serve. Liu Xuan naturally sat in the seat in front of Mo Han, and Mo Han moved down one.

"Auntie, it's just an unlucky time for me to come. I don't know that Auntie is entertaining guests." Liu Xuan first looked at the princess, then turned to look at Mo Han in the middle of the conversation.He has also heard a lot about Mo Han, and he knows that this kid is not a simple character.

The princess watched the maid serve the new tea, and said with a smile: "How can you say that, you and Mo Han are not outsiders, I think you have known each other before, so I won't introduce you. We just happened to stay here for dinner today, so rare There are many people, I am also happy to see it."

"How dare my nephew refuse to obey my aunt's gift of food." Liu Xuan put down the teacup and returned with a faint smile.His mother and concubine passed away early, so his life in the palace was naturally difficult. Fortunately, Princess Ning'an reminded him everywhere, so no one in the palace dared to embarrass him. The first queen came to think highly of him, so he was sealed at a young age. Prince.Liu Xuan is 26 years old this year, and he was crowned king 8 years ago.

The princess was worried about Daiyu, so she left Liu Xuan to eat, and she would not be able to share with Daiyu for a while, so she said: "You guys chat first, I will go to the back to have a look, and I will be back soon."

"Aunt (princess), please do what you want." Liu Xuan and Mo Han hurriedly got up and said.

The princess supported Nanny Qin's hand and went to the back, and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to give some instructions, and then quickened her pace to look at Daiyu.

In the hall, once the princess left, all the rest were men.Guan Fei, Guan Tai, and Liu Xuan have known each other since childhood, and they are not at all cautious, but Mo Han has not yet figured out Liu Xuan's details, leaving a little room for his words.

"I used to hear about Master Lin's demeanor back then, and I always wished I could see it. Today, I saw King Lin's Wind under the Forest, and it seems that I can think of Master Lin's graceful demeanor, which is also satisfying my thoughts. "Because there is a son-in-law by my side, Liu Xuan only calls me, not me.

To be honest, when he first saw Mo Han, he was also taken aback. He didn't want to think that there are such romantic people in the world, not to mention his appearance, but his extraordinary and elegant charm is unmatched by others.He is just Lin Ruhai's stepson, and he has such a demeanor. Does Lin Ruhai know people well or educate them well.In any case, the first impression Mo Han left on him was very special, and he even vaguely felt familiar. It was another self in a trance, but he didn't have his indifference on the surface.

"My lord is absurdly praised. My father only knows how to be loyal to his duties, but how dare a humble minister compare to my father. It is the lord's dragon and phoenix appearance that I admire." Although I don't know the details of this Yicheng king, it is obvious that he is not An ordinary person, Mo Han dealt with extra care.He is not as innocent as his sister, he thinks everyone is a good person.

"You two are so humble ministers and lords. I'm so sour when I hear it. Let's be more casual at home." Guan Tai still likes his cousin very much, and has a good impression of Mo Han, so he spread his hands casually and said .

The son-in-law glared at him fiercely, boy, what are you, you dare to show off in front of a prince or a county king, what a joke.Liu Xuan smiled faintly, nodded and said: "My cousin is right, since that's the case, I'm the elder, so I'll have the audacity to call you Brother Lin."

Before Mo Han could speak, Guan Tai had already rushed to wave his hands and said anxiously: "No, no, Mo Han is my nephew, how can I be worthy of my cousin's peers, then I will not be at a loss." After all, I have a nephew, how can I be casual? .

Mo Han secretly rolled his eyes, whoever heard me call him uncle just now had a displeased face, this time the rain has passed and the sky has cleared, and the face changes faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Uncle thinks, what should I call the prince?"

"I think I'll just call him cousin."

No matter how calm Liu Xuan was, he almost spit the tea out of his mouth when he heard his cousin's second son. Cousin, it's thanks to Guan Tai, a brat. Forty or fifty bad old man.

Guan Fei wanted to laugh in his heart, but he was afraid that Liu Xuan would lose his face, so he suppressed the blame and said, "Second brother, stop messing around. This is decided by my cousin and Mo Han, why are you joining in the fun?"

The son-in-law has nothing to say to his son, except for complaining that the princess shouldn't spoil him so much, he doesn't bother to care about it.

"Cousin is right. From my point of view, Mo Han and I are not much different in age, we just need to be called the same generation. We just need to use random names." Liu Xuan seemed to have changed his address in his words, and wanted to make a final decision.

Mo Han had no choice but to change his address with Liu Xuan, calling him Brother Liu.

Men are the easiest to get along with, and they become acquainted after a few words, and they can chat about everything, but not a single word involves the affairs of the court.

Now that the Empress Dowager is in power, she is trying her best to weaken the rights and prestige of the members of the Liu family, and has even planted spies in various houses. No one dares to criticize the government so openly, and everyone is careful for fear of being caught.

For a while, after lunch, Liu Xuan bid farewell beforehand, and asked Mo Han to sit in his residence if he had nothing to do.Mo Han also took Dai Yu to leave. The princess knew very well that there were many things in their house and it was not good to stay longer, so she packed a few large carts and sent an appropriate person to take the siblings back.

These chapters are a transition, and the whole situation will slowly unfold next, so please be patient.
