Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Shui Rong and Meng Yi explained the matter, ordered people to prepare food and drinks, and prepared to drink with Han Qi for a while, and talk about the recent affairs in the court.They were just going to Yiyuan, but when they got halfway, they saw Han Qi coming out angrily, his face was swollen, and he didn't know who provoked him.

"Where are you going, brother-in-law? I happened to have someone prepare some food and wine. Let's go and have a drink or two."

Han Qi forced a smile: "No, my lord, I have to go back. It will be late, and I'm afraid that if I can't go back, the elders in the family will get angry again."

Shui Rong thought to himself that he was the one who said he wanted to drink just now, and he was about to leave before the wine was served. Shui Rong tried to persuade him to keep it, but Han Qi insisted on going back.Shui Rong had no choice but to let him go.

When she came to Yiyuan, Dunhui was acting like a baby in front of her sister-in-law.Shui Rong came in and said, "Xin'er, how old are you, and you're still so mischievous."

With a sad face, Dun Hui immediately complained to her brother: "It's all about that kid surnamed Han who broke my things. Brother, I don't like to see him, so don't let him come to our house in the future."

It was only then that Shui Rong connected with Han Qi's expression just now, no wonder he didn't even drink the wine and left angrily.Shui Rong said seriously: "Xin'er is becoming more and more pampered, besides, there are no rules for how to speak in front of your sister-in-law."

Dunhui pouted and said, "Brother! You might as well love me like my sister-in-law. You see, I am a good pair of rabbits, but he made it like this. My brother didn't blame him, and even said I was not good."

Shui Rong touched her head and said, "Go, don't pester your sister-in-law all day long, your sister-in-law has to take care of herself."

Dun Hui packed up her things, eager to let the two get along for a while, and took the girl out tactfully.Shui Rong stood in the room and didn't sit down, seeing the concubine sitting on the kang, her expression was indifferent, as calm as water, no different from the past.At this time, Shui Rong felt a little sorry for her, put his hand behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and said sincerely: "Xin'er is not young, but she still has the same temperament as before, and there is no one to accompany her. Playing. So a little naughty, these years have troubled you."

The concubine didn't appreciate Shui Rong's love, and continued to count the rosary beads silently, her heart was ashamed, after a while seeing that Shui Rong hadn't left yet, she looked up at him, and said coldly: "It's nothing, please go back, my lord. "

Shui Rong frowned slightly, and was about to turn around and walk away. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said to the princess, "I know you hate me in your heart, and maybe you will continue to hate me for the rest of your life. If I could do it all over again, I would never It's embarrassing, and I will never marry this kind of marriage again."

The concubine was originally calm, but Shui Rong's sudden words touched her, she raised her eyebrows, with anger in her eyes, she clapped her palms angrily and said, "Get out, get out!"

Hu Momo heard the voice of the princess, and saw the prince go out in disgrace, thinking that the two had quarreled again, so she hurried to persuade her.Walking into the room to have a look, she saw the princess sitting there wiping her tears, Cui Zhu was standing beside her and persuading her.

Hu Momo stepped forward and said: "How do you say this? It's a good thing to give birth again. If you say that the prince is three points wrong, the empress is also seven points wrong. Why are you stumbling. The empress is too impatient, the prince After finally coming here, the empress should also be softer."

The concubine was angry: "You don't have to persuade me. He is a high-ranking prince and we are slaves, but there is no reason for everyone to please him and fawn on him. Whoever I am good to and who I am not good to, I only follow my own way." Heart, don't deliberately flatter, even if you want to flatter him."

Seeing that the princess was angry, Cui Zhu and Hu Momo knew that they couldn't persuade her anymore after saying such a thing.

Shui Rong returned to the flower hall here in a somewhat depressed mood. The servant girl brought the wine, but she couldn't see Han Qi, so she hurriedly asked, "Why isn't Second Uncle here?"

Shui Rong said: "Let's put it down." He drank it for himself, the glass cup was filled with amber juice, he drank it all in one gulp, the warm liquid slid down his throat and reached his stomach, still feeling scorching hot.After a while, I felt bitter again.

It's uncomfortable to drink alone, half of the pot of wine is gone in a blink of an eye.She thought that it would be good to get drunk, but her heart was still bright like a mirror, Shui Rong wanted to escape from reality, but reality was so clearly right in front of her at this moment.

Nan Qing came over, and seeing him like this, she hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Yo, what's wrong with your lord? Why are you drinking alone, are you okay?"

Shui Rong said: "You don't need to take care of me."

Nan Qing ordered people to go down to prepare hangover soup, and then asked the people around her what was going on, and the people around said they didn't know.Seeing this, Nan Qing felt distressed.

Shui Rong asked Nan Qing: "How about the gift for the Queen Mother?"

Nan Qing said: "It's almost done. The concubine said that I will be fully responsible for this matter. The gift list has come out. Do you want to see it?"

Shui Rong said: "This matter must not be sloppy, bring me the gift list."

Nan Qing said: "My lord just drank, let's watch it another day."

"What's the matter with the wine? I'm not drunk. I'll take advantage of the time today to see if there's anything wrong with the list so that someone can send the gift in. The days are numbered." Shui Rong was a little impatient.

Nan Qing asked the girl to bring the lacquered red gift list, and Shui Rong took it over, and read it line by line: a bamboo-carved landscape figure incense tube, a pair of rosewood lacquered Ksitigarbha Buddha, an agarwood walking stick, and an ivory carved dragon pattern A pair of eight immortals celebrating birthday with belt buckles, a pair of rhinoceros horn cups and a pair of golden silk satin with double dragons and two ears pastel painting Fu Lu Shou Samsung water chestnut vase.

After Shui Rong read it, he discussed with Nan Qing, "This ceremony is too light. It would be enough for a normal birthday, but for the [-]th birthday, the emperor said that he would make a big deal. By the way, I remember that there is a box of Kesi in the storeroom." The big screen should have twelve leaves, add this. There is also a thin ice silk silk curtain, and it is almost the same.”

After Nan Qing heard this, she felt a little troubled, and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get the tent."

"What, where are you going? I haven't seen it a few times in total. The tent is very good. It is hung with anti-mosquitoes in summer and it is very cool. Didn't you ask you to take it away? We don't need it. Besides, such a good thing We shouldn't enjoy it in the first place. Go get it and let me see."

Nan Qing had no choice but to perfunctorily say: "My lord, don't look at it. Although the tent is good, it has been placed for several years. It also took off the thread, how can I take it as a gift, and add something else. You don't have to worry about it, I think about it." Way to go." Then he went down.

Shui Rong felt a little uneasy in his heart, thinking that this person Nan Qing, who wanted to obey her advice, became unlucky at this time.Later, it was Xiyue who told Shui Rong: "My lord doesn't care about the house, I just think he's confused. I didn't expect my lord to even remember such a trivial matter. I heard that the concubine of the tent took it for disposal in private, and I heard that I got a sum of money." .”

"Bastard! This can also be exchanged for money. Our family is already poor. The tent was given to me on my twentieth birthday. I saw that it was good, so people noticed it. She had the nerve to make her own decision. The money Where are you going? Why didn't I hear anything?" Shui Rong knew that Nan Qing loved money, but she didn't know that she was so greedy.

Naturally, Xiyue didn't know where the money ended up going. Shui Rong felt that it was not appropriate to leave it to Nan Qing, and she was afraid that if there was any good thing she would buy it by herself again, she was really worried, so she thought it over and said: "Don't worry about it." Let Nan Qing take care of this matter and leave it to the princess to handle it."

"Oh." Xiyue thought about how to spread the message.

This matter came to the princess, because she was angry with Shui Rong, and because she was lazy, she didn't want to take matters into her hands, so she said: "I don't care about things now, don't look for me."

Xiyue was very embarrassed: "Mother, this is the order of the prince. Besides, the Queen Mother's birthday is so important, and the princess has to intervene. Why bother the prince. Besides, the prince has not been in a good mood these past two days. He has to drink every day, and he doesn't know If you encounter any troubles, the empress should be considerate of the prince."

The princess said coldly: "I don't care what's on his mind, don't come to me."

"Young lady!" Xiyue almost knelt down.

Seeing that she was pitiful, the princess softened her heart and said, "Don't worry, I'm thinking of a candidate."

Xiyue hurriedly asked: "Who is it? The prince said that he will not let the side concubine interfere in this matter."

The concubine said: "You go to Qixia Courtyard to find Miss Lin, just say it's my intention. I haven't been in good health for the past two days, please ask her to take care of this matter, and don't worry about anything else."

When Xiyue heard this, she hurriedly said: "The prince is afraid that he will be unhappy, so the princess should respond."

"Let Ms. Lin help me with the cooking. If there's anything wrong with him, I'm willing. I'm afraid it's too late to thank me. By the way, wouldn't it be nice to let Ms. Lin get acquainted with our family's situation?"

Xiyue had no choice but to agree.

When someone from Yiyuan came to tell Daiyu about this matter, Daiyu naturally didn't want to accept it and wanted to explain it to the princess, but the princess ignored it.Daiyu thought to herself that she was just an outsider, how could she take care of the affairs of the palace, and it was not appropriate to say it, so she had to go to Shui Rong again to explain her difficulties.

Later, I found him in the small study, and as soon as I entered the room, I smelled the pungent smell of wine.

"My lord, I..." Daiyu stepped over the threshold with one foot, but saw Shui Rong crouching in front of the desk.I don't know if I was asleep or drunk.Looking at this scene, Daiyu was at a loss for what to do, so she thought it would be better to come back later.But when you see his frowning brows, his thin, somewhat sallow face, the eye circles may be a little dark because of poor sleep.It was a haggard look of exhaustion.Originally Zhang Cai's face in his twenties, when he was in high spirits, how could he be so haggard?This situation touched Daiyu, and she felt something tightened her heart, thinking that he was not doing well.Although he fell into a deep sleep, he didn't seem to be relaxed, and he didn't know where his melancholy came from.

Daiyu stared blankly for a while, and really wanted to reach out her hand to gently smooth the brow between his brows, so she stretched out her hand and then retracted it again.I thought I should let him stay quietly for a while and not disturb him, so I withdrew.As he walked, he thought, is his heart as lonely as his own?Who knows his worries and sorrows?
