Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

On the day of the winter solstice, the emperor will lead all the officials to sacrifice to the altar and the Taimiao.

As usual, the matter of worshiping the ancestors fell on King Heng.A few days ago, Shui Rong ran up and down for Heng Wang, so busy that his feet never touched the ground.

On the day of the day, Daiyu dressed up early in the morning and went to the palace in a sedan chair.First, I went to Concubine Shun to inquire about the gift, and then went to Concubine Jing.

As usual, the affairs of the Six Palaces are in charge of the two noble concubines, but Concubine Shun is getting older and doesn't take care of things much, and it is mostly Concubine Jing who makes decisions.The princesses in the palace, the married princesses, princesses, etc. also came back.

The princes followed to pay homage to the Sheji Ancestral Temple, while the concubines, princesses, princesses, and wives were in the Buddhist courtyard, following the concubines to attend to the Buddha.

When the emperor returned from worshiping the ancestors, he gave a banquet.

Daiyu first chatted with Princess Yongjia for a few homely things. Since the princess gave birth, her figure has become uncontrollably fatter.People are much more cheerful than before. It seems that being a mother can change a person.It was also the first time for Daiyu to see Yongjia's son-in-law. He was very tall and strong, with a sparse mustache, but she had never heard him speak.

The people in front of Concubine Nan'an came to invite Daiyu to come over, and Daiyu hurriedly leaned over and said to Princess Yongjia, "Princess, excuse me first."

Princess Yongjia naturally knew that Grand Concubine Nan'an recognized Daiyu as her adoptive daughter, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Bei, hurry up and say hello to Concubine Tai for me."

Concubine Nan'an was talking with Concubine Kang Cigui, Daiyu came over, first saluted to Concubine Gui, and then to Concubine Nan'an, Concubine Nan'an took her hand and looked up and down: "It's ugly, Prince Bei I didn’t treat you badly, and I kept you well. It’s cold, and I thought about inviting you to our house to watch a few plays, but I also thought that your house still has clothes. I’m not willing to go out in winter. Wait for the weather It's warm, come to our house and have a good time."

Daiyu laughed and said, "If the concubine invites you, it's natural to go."

Concubine Nan'an said again: "So I feel relieved. Your family is small, and there are several tables of people for dinner at our house every day. By the way, Chunke Junjun sent a letter and asked you how you are. The Junjun should not know that you have been in the north. It's about the princess."

Daiyu said: "Take a look at my sister," and hurriedly changed her words: "Did you mention returning to Beijing in the letter from the Junjun?"

Concubine Nan'an shook her head; "I didn't mention it, besides, it's thousands of miles away, how can it be so easy to say it and come back."

Daiyu thought to herself that these sisters are all over the world, and they don't know if they can get together in this life.

In the afternoon, it suddenly began to snow.Everyone said that the emperor's blessing moved the heavens, and the first snow of this year finally fell on the winter solstice, two months later than in previous years.

Looking at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

A group of people stood on the corridor, jumping for joy when they saw the snowflakes flying.Princess Yongjia was about to go back to the Princess Mansion, but she hadn't seen her baby for a long time, so she was thinking about it early.

Daiyu also took advantage of the situation to say goodbye to everyone.

Han Yan draped Daiyu in a lotus green double-breasted feather satin and a snow cap.A little girl was holding an umbrella, and Daiyu walked towards Donghuamen with Hanyan holding her hand.

But Daiyu didn't know that there was a person standing outside the Donghua Gate, who had been standing in the wind and snow for almost half an hour just to wait for her.

"Why is the prince here?" Daiyu looked a little surprised.

Shui Rong said: "I'm here to pick you up." Then she went to hold Daiyu's hand, Daiyu was a little embarrassed thinking about the people coming and going in the palace, she turned slightly to one side and asked, "Why didn't you see the princess?"

Shui Rong said with a smile: "She said her stomach hurts, she has been back for a while."

The two walked one after the other, Daiyu caught a glimpse of a lot of snowflakes on the green fox cloak on Shui Rong's body, and he didn't have time to wipe it off.

After getting into the warm sedan chair, the snow on the clothes turned into water droplets as soon as it came into contact with the heat.My hands and feet are warmed up, but I feel drowsy when I get warm.

When he returned to the palace, Shui Rong came over to lift the curtain of the sedan chair in person, but saw Daiyu taking a nap, and said with a smile: "I must be sleepy, how about going back to the house and going back to sleep?"

Daiyu opened her eyes and saw that it was him. Feeling a little embarrassed, she hurriedly bent over and got out of the sedan chair.Shui Rong stretched out his hand to support her, and the two headed towards the inner courtyard.

Just arrived in the courtyard, Lu Ling came over and said with a smile: "My lord, my concubine, go to Wangyue Xuan to have a look, the princess and the young master are about to fight for meat."

Before Daiyu regained her composure, Shui Rong clapped her hands and said, "Why are these siblings getting into trouble together again? I mean why did Xin'er come back early and said she had a stomachache? This girl lied to me .”

Daiyu didn't have time to enter the house to change clothes, she smiled and pulled Shui Rong and said: "I'm going to Wangyue Xuan first, would you like to follow me later?"

Shui Rong said: "It depends on how they make trouble."

Everyone came to Wangyuexuan, and before entering the house, they could smell the smell of meat, and they had already heard Dun Hui and Shui Cheng's argument.First came Shui Cheng's voice: "Sister's words don't count, she clearly agreed to bake this piece and give it to me."

Dun Hui smiled and said, "If you want to eat it, you can't bake it yourself, so why compete with me for it?"

Shui Cheng rolled up his sleeves and really divided the meat for roasting. Seeing this, the maid hurriedly cleaned up for Shui Cheng: "Master, be careful not to scratch your hands."

"Don't worry about it, go and serve your princess."

Shui Rong and Daiyu came to the room, the siblings were enjoying their meal.The fire coals were caged in barbed wire, and the meat on the net was making a screeching sound, and the room was filled with the smell of meat, which made people's appetite whet.

Shui Rong first scolded Dunhui with a straight face: "Okay, you told me that you have a stomachache and you want to come back earlier, so you are thinking about our family's meat. You are still a princess, and you don't follow any rules."

Dun Hui hurriedly picked up a piece of perfectly grilled meat with chopsticks, brought it to Shui Rong, and said with a smile, "Brother, do you want to try it?"

Shui Rong opened his mouth to eat. At noon, he ate with so many people and only ate a little, but drank a lot of wine. He asked for water to wash his hands and eat with them.

Daiyu sat at the side but did not move her body. It was very interesting to see them eating lively, talking and laughing.

Shui Rong hurriedly asked: "How much did your siblings eat? They are not children of poor families. They can't usually afford meat, so be careful not to digest it."

Shui Cheng immediately came to complain: "Brother, sister is not good, she always fights with me for food. Even if I eat it, I deserve it."

Dun Hui immediately countered: "It was agreed at the beginning, whoever makes it will eat it, you don't know how to make it yourself, and you have to blame me for not making it."

The servant girl brought Daiyu a cup of Huiquan wine that was hot enough: "Wangfei, drink some to warm her body, it's just to drive away the cold."

Daiyu took a sip and put it down.Seeing her sister-in-law sitting still and refusing to move, Dun Hui hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, come quickly, there won't be any good things left if you don't come."

Daiyu smiled and said, "I won't eat, you guys eat slowly, don't grab it."

Shui Rong picked up two pieces and put them in a small dish, and brought them to Daiyu himself: "Why don't you try it, this is the best donkey meat, very fragrant. It doesn't matter if you eat less."

Daiyu tasted a little bit as she said, and felt that it was salty, so she refused to eat any more.

Shui Rong sat cross-legged, never looked like a prince, Shui Cheng chattered about the school again, Shui Rong asked him: "I have been studying here for almost two years, I will test you someday."

But Shui Cheng was not timid, and hurriedly said bravely, "Brother, you can take any exam you want. The teacher in the school is praising me, saying that if I also go to the exam room, I will definitely be the first in high school."

Shui Rong laughed even more: "What a big tone."

Sitting aside and looking at the three brothers and sisters, Daiyu felt a sudden warmth in her heart, these were her family members.Maybe she was lonely outside for too long, maybe her parents left too early, leaving her alone. She often envied the benefits of others, and now she is one of them, and she suddenly felt full of happiness.She quietly left the room.Walking outside the door, I saw that the snow was falling less, and there was a plum tree in the yard that had already bloomed buds, and it was proudly blooming in these nine days of weather.

Nan Qing helped the girl and walked over, and said with a smile: "Why are we all crowded here today, steaming dumplings have been cooked in the kitchen, waiting to be eaten."

Daiyu laughed and said, "There are a group of beggars living in this room."

Shui Rong heard the sound and came out. Hearing that they were eating dumplings, he turned his head and said to the siblings: "Don't eat any more, how can you not eat dumplings during the winter solstice, be careful you will freeze your ears."

Dun Hui asked for water to wash her hands, but Shui Cheng didn't care and ran out with a smile on her face.

Shui Cheng's nanny was standing in front of her, persuading her: "Young master, don't eat any more. Be careful of food accumulation, it's not easy to digest. The concubine side has to say something again when she finds out."

After a while of persuasion, Shui Cheng finally let go of this matter.

It was cold in the flower hall and had been moved to the warm pavilion in the Westinghouse.Concubine Side and Chunhua also came, and asked someone to invite Xueyan to come to the same table.Xueyan found an excuse not to come.Shui Rong said that the whole family had to sit around in order to be lively, and the maids came up and moved the set tables away.A camphor wood Eight Immortals table was brought out, and everyone sat down in seats.

Shui Rong said: "Today, everyone is complete."

A table of food and wine was served, followed by mutton dumplings.

After eating the food, I put in the hot mutton dumplings, and my body warmed up immediately.Daiyu went back to this room and changed into homely clothes first, then ordered Han Yan: "Send two sets of clothes to Elder Sister Hua."

When Han Yan heard about it, he hurriedly opened the closet, and took a half-worn red feather satin double-breasted cloak with a white fox face, a leather jacket with pearls shaking, and a sapphire blue ermine skirt.

Daiyu looked at it twice and let Hanyan pack it, and sent it to Chunhua.She took a book casually, and half-lyed on the couch to read it.Shui Rong walked in without making a sound, Daiyu's eyes were all on the book, she didn't notice it.Until someone quietly covered her eyes and joked, "Guess who I am."

Daiyu burst out laughing: "Could it be that there is a second man in this room?"

Shui Rong exclaimed, quickly let go and took several steps back, muttering: "Damn it, it's terrible!"

Daiyu stopped reading, sat up quickly, pulled up her clothes, and asked him with a smile: "Are you free today?"

Shui Rong said: "I've been idle for a long time, otherwise I would still be standing here?"

Daiyu asked again: "Have you worn the suit I made, but it still fits well. If the place of life is not good, I will change it again."

"Fit, I've worked hard for you these days. How can I repay you?" Shui Rong approached her body again.

Daiyu turned her face away, and smiled slightly: "The whole family also said this, so it's too boring."
