Love the Red House

Because the people had gathered, everyone chatted with Jia Mu, and then they took the maids, got into the sedan chair together, and rushed to the Beijing Palace.

When he got there, the young man standing at the door went in to inform, and Fang let the sedan chair go straight to the second gate, and turned to Mingya Garden, the back garden of the palace.

As soon as she got off the sedan chair, a group of maids dressed in red and green surrounded an eleven or twelve-year-old girl and greeted her gracefully.

When the four of them looked at it, they saw the young girl with cloudy temples and beautiful makeup, with pearls and emerald hairpins on her head, dazzling and dazzling. It doesn't look cumbersome, but has a noble and calm demeanor.

While looking at it, the girl had already pursed her lips and chuckled, and said cheerfully, "You are all from Jia's mansion, right? I have been waiting for a long time."

After hearing this, the four of them understood that the woman in front of them was the Princess Shui Mei of the Northern Prince's Mansion, so they gathered up their skirts and saluted together: "I have seen the Princess."

Shui Mei stretched out her hands to help her, with a friendly expression, and said with a smile: "Sisters, don't be too polite. It was my whim, and I wanted to use the opportunity of my birthday to get together with the ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital. Please feel free, don't be restrained."

While speaking, his bright eyes looked forward, and he looked carefully, seeing that these four people had outstanding looks, and they were not frivolous, and they couldn't help but secretly marvel at them.

Among the four, although Daiyu's complexion is pale, her appearance is the most outstanding, her peerless elegance is naturally revealed, her beauty is incomparable.

Shui Mei couldn't help being a little surprised, because she said: "The girls in Jia's mansion are so different that people can't take their eyes off."

As he spoke, he walked slowly to Daiyu's side, and said with a smile: "This elder sister is so beautiful. What's rare is that her temperament is also light and dusty. When I meet you suddenly, she looks like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks. Seeing Shuimei's kind expression and pure eyes, Daiyu couldn't face her coldly, so she smiled and said softly: "Minnie girls are only born a little more tidy, how can they deserve such praise from the Princess?" ?”

Shuimei shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "I always say what I say, and I will never praise people indiscriminately. My sister is indeed the most outstanding woman I have ever seen. The ancients said 'beautiful beauty', I don't always believe it. , Now that I saw my sister, I just felt that this statement was true, and seeing my sister's face can really heal my hunger."

Seeing the first meeting, Daiyu took the lead and attracted Shuimei's attention. Xue Baochai's apricot eyes sparkled, and the smile on his lips was a little stiff, but he quickly calmed down and said happily: "We sisters , even if she has a little beauty, she is just like a willow, how can she compare with the natural nobleness and grace of the princess?"

In these few words, she not only praised Shui Mei, but also cleverly exposed herself in front of Shui Mei, and she was very thoughtful.

Sure enough, when Shuimei heard the words, she looked at Xue Baochai with a smile, took a closer look, Fang nodded and said: "This sister's appearance is not so gorgeous, and her speech is also pleasing, which is really rare."

Hearing this, Baochai was very happy in her heart, but she still lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, with a steady demeanor, she saluted and said: "The princess is overwhelmed, to be praised by the princess, the daughters of the people are lucky."

The waves were like water, and the smile on his lips became more and more beautiful, and then he said: "Today's trip, the princess came out to welcome her in person, which really flattered the daughters of the people. It's really not easy to be so approachable with the status of the princess." Said, walking slowly, approaching Shuimei, intending to get closer to her.

Unexpectedly, Shui Mei just smiled and said: "Girl, you don't need to say these polite words. I invited you to come here. Now I should do my best as a landlord."

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned his head, still staring at Daiyu intently, the smile on his lips was as beautiful as a poem: "Even though my sister and I have never met, seeing my sister's character is really rare, let me Let's take a guess, my sister must be Miss Lin, who is talented in poetry, right?"

Seeing that she came out to interrupt, Shui Mei still only cared about Daiyu, Xue Baochai's face changed, and he felt quite resentful, but because he was in full view of everyone, there was still a smile on his lips, with a dignified and generous appearance.

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, looking at Shui Mei with a trace of surprise in her eyes, she frowned and said: "The miner's surname is indeed Lin, but how is the miner's poetry, how does the princess know?"

Shui Mei smiled softly, and said brightly: "Not long ago, by chance, Mei Er once read her sister's poems. Take the liberty to prepare a post to invite my sister to come over to fulfill my wish."

Her words, spoken calmly and slowly, fell into the ears of everyone, but stirred up thousands of waves.

Xichun has the coldest temperament, this trip was just a perfunctory one because she was in Jia's mansion and she couldn't refuse, she had no other desires in her heart, and didn't care much about these things, she just laughed it off, that's all.

Tanchun has a strong temper and has always been competitive. Now that he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.

It seems that today's gathering is only to see Daiyu alone, as for the other women, this noble princess is not willing to take care of her at all.

Baochai raised her carefully drawn spring eyebrows, feeling even more annoyed in her heart. She had long admired the Beijing Prince's Mansion, but regretted that she had no chance to get in touch with it.

After all, she was looking forward to Shuimei's big birthday celebration. She planned to take advantage of today's trip to win Shuimei's favor, but unexpectedly, she came here excitedly, but she encountered such a situation. How could she be embarrassed?

Although I was very disappointed in my heart, with Baochai's temperament, I am naturally not a person who gives up lightly, but after a short time, I sorted out my thoughts, slowly raised my head, and said to Shuimei: "The princess commented on Sister Lin's poems, Full of praise, come to think of it, the princess must be a talented woman who can read and write."

As he said that, he raised his lips and smiled, and said with admiration: "The Princess is not only outstanding in character and gentle in temperament, but also has such talent. Come to think of it, a woman like the Princess is unique in this world."

Seeing Daiyu at last, Shuimei was delighted, and was looking forward to chatting with Daiyu, but was interrupted by Xue Baochai repeatedly, with such flattering words, she couldn't help but feel a little displeased.

Even so, due to the importance of etiquette, Shuimei had to turn her head, glanced at Baochai, shook her head and said, "How can someone like me dare to claim the name of a talented woman in vain? It's just because the family education in the mansion is very strict. I can only recognize a few words."

Speaking of this, she directly took Daiyu's hand and said happily: "However, if it comes to talented women, regardless of other things for the time being, among the women Mei'er knows, only sister Lin can afford it."

Seeing that she was trying so hard to deal with it, Shui Mei still turned the topic back to Daiyu, Baochai's expression turned cold, a little embarrassment and a little annoyance surfaced in her heart, and she was speechless for a while.

Shui Mei didn't care about her thoughts, she just smiled at Yan Yan, her eyebrows and eyes were curved into beautiful arcs, and said to Daiyu: "Sister Lin is good at reciting, there must be more than one poem, if Sister Lin is willing, Mei I really want to see my sister's other masterpieces, but I wonder if my sister will agree?" As he spoke, he stared intently at Daiyu, with earnest expressions on the corners of his brows and eyes.

Daiyu's temperament is indifferent, she doesn't like to socialize with powerful people, if it were someone else, she would flatly refuse, but the girl in front of her is straightforward and innocent, so she couldn't help but feel a little liking in her heart.Just as he was still pondering, Tanchun smiled slightly, and said, "Sister Lin will not refuse the Princess' request, so please rest assured."

"That's exactly what you said," Xue Baochai said calmly, looking at Shuimei, "I don't think the princess knows, but we sisters gather in Jia's mansion, and we often visit the garden together to enjoy the scenery, recite poems and compose poems for entertainment, Most of Sister Lin's poems were written at poetry conferences."

Speaking of this, the corners of her lips stretched, showing a very bright and gentle smile, as if casually said: "The princess loves poetry so much, it is really admirable. If you want to, it’s better to write it silently by the daughter of the people later, and ask the princess general to take a look and give advice.”

From the pleasantries just now, Baochai already understood that the reason why the princess in front of her favored Daiyu so much was because of Daiyu's poetic talent.

At this time, Baochai spoke, her intention was to tell Shuimei that, in fact, she is also a talented woman who is good at poetry, so she can win Shuimei's favor by doing what she likes.

She is the daughter of the imperial businessman, with a sleek and sophisticated heart, she knows what she wants, and also understands that if she wants to get the wealth and glory she longs for, she must pay attention to everything, and be considerate and appropriate.

When she was in Jia's house, because she knew that Mrs. Wang liked prudent and dignified people, she deliberately restrained her sharpness, and kept her ladylike demeanor and charm in every word, deed, and every action.

Although up to now, she has successfully won the favor of Mrs. Wang, but her ambition is not limited to the Jia family. What she wants is to fly on the branches and become a phoenix. The higher the better, only in this way can she be the only one. Put others underfoot.

Now, she speaks eloquently in front of Shui Mei, showing her sharpness, because she knows that the opportunity to enter the Northern Palace is hard-won, and she must seize it, otherwise, she will regret it in the future.

These words of hers were ingenious and natural between the transitions, almost without a trace, but this scheming was ultimately in vain.

Because, although this girl Shuimei is young, she has long been used to dealing with palaces and palaces because of her delicate status. She has a keen and transparent mind, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. She can rely on today's conversation, It is deduced that Xue Baochai in front of him is a woman who is good at maneuvering and slick.

Although she grew up among the brocades, Shui Mei always maintains a pure heart and yearns for a simple and honest life. Because of this, what she hates most in her heart is people who are full of calculations and good at flattery.

Because, the days of intrigue and dikes everywhere are really tiring.

If so, after hearing Xue Baochai's words, Shuimei's displeasure deepened, and a frown furrowed between her brows, and she said with a half-smile: "It turns out that this girl is also a talented person, but Meier is disrespectful, but, Since Meier saw Sister Lin's masterpiece, she felt that the poems of other people in this world cannot be seen."

Speaking of which, she glanced at Baochai lightly, with a slight smile on her lips, and raised her voice three minutes, and said decisively: "Young lady has poems, and I want Meier to comment on them. Meier understands this kind of heart. As for others Yes, it’s still exempt.”
