Dai Yuxin says

Shui Jing was extremely relieved to put Daiyu's letter in the urgent military document of Babaili, and beckoned: "Come here! Send it right away, there must be no mistakes."

At this moment, Shui Jing's inner feelings are extremely complicated. He is not only grateful for his favorite eldest son, Shui Rong, but also feels extremely lost in his heart.

The urgent military documents were sent away, and Daiyu's letter was also sent away together.

Shui Jing sat lonely on the dragon chair, secretly imagining Shui Rong's elated and happy scene when he received Daiyu's letter, rubbed his sour heart, and smiled very gratified.

I really didn't expect that Daiyu's handwriting is so good, she really deserves to be the daughter of Tanhua behind the back door.

The most rare thing is the content of the letter, without the slightest love for children, that kind of majestic spirit, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that it was written by a little girl in her teens?

Familiar faces in the hall flashed in Shui Jing's mind, and he sighed involuntarily: "Yu'er, Yu'er! If you are a man, I will definitely honor you as a marquis."

"Baozhu, what are you doing sneakily?" Shui Jing saw Baozhu poking her head outside the palace gate, wanted to come in but didn't dare to go in, hesitantly shouted loudly.

Baozhu knew that Shui Jing looked like this, and it was a sign of a good mood.

Boldly came in and replied: "I just received a letter from Xiugu Yuyuan, and I am thinking of presenting it to the emperor."

"Submit it quickly," Shui Jing couldn't wait to reach out to take Xiugu's pigeon letter, frowning and said: "Remember, in the future, as long as it is about Yuyuan or Yu'er, submit it to me immediately." , there must be no mistake. Otherwise, I want your head."

Baozhu knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and said, "I know, I just ran over after receiving the letter from Xiu Guge. Your Majesty, you see that my forehead is still sweating."

Shui Jing ignored him, carefully looked at the letter sent by Xiu Guge, and kept circling in his heart, thinking about the punishment plan.

In the pigeon letter, Xiugu reported in detail the whole process of Daiyu's going to Jia's mansion to give gifts for Jiamu's birthday.

When Shui Jing saw that Daiyu had been plotted against, she was furious, and slammed the dragon case with a "bang", scaring Baozhu to sit on the ground, and shouted: "The emperor spare me!"

"Bold slave! Death is not a pity!" Shui Jing raised his eyes and roared through gnashing of teeth.

Baozhu trembled all over, collapsed on the ground, tremblingly said: "I beg your Majesty to spare your life!"

"Hmph, you dare to plan and murder my Yu'er, and you still want to spare your life?" Shui Jing snorted coldly, and shouted: "Go, order the chief minister to enter the palace immediately."

On the day of Jiamu's birthday, there were well-known wealthy families in the capital who came to congratulate her. Apart from her family friend, the Beijing Palace, there were only a few relatives in Beijing, namely the historian and the Wang family.

There was no one from the Xue family, and they only gave a very ordinary gift.

It turned out that Xue Biao sent Xue Pan away, and after returning to the capital to report the journey to Baochai's mother and daughter, he and his sister Xue Baoqin made a calculation and felt that there were too many right and wrong here, and it was not suitable to stay for a long time.He found an excuse and took his younger sister Xue Baoqin back to his hometown in Jinling.

In the family of the Xue family, there is only Aunt Xue left, who lives in Jia's mansion all year round due to illness, and her pockets have long been empty. family.

Tanchun has long since left Beijing with the prince's family. Logically speaking, Tanchun will not forget Jiamu's birthday. On the occasion of Jiamu's birthday, the birthday gifts from the Prince's Mansion should have arrived early.

I don't know if it's because of the long distance, or the Prince's Mansion didn't plan to give gifts at all, and it's the birthday day, and neither the Prince's Mansion nor Tanchun's birthday party nor gifts arrived.

When Jia Mu thought about it, she felt very uncomfortable, and she didn't look good when she saw Aunt Zhao.

Since Tanchun got married and Jia Huan and her sister Tanchun left, Aunt Zhao missed her very much, but she knew that because of the prince's son Yujue's love for Tanchun, her siblings would not be wronged in the prince's mansion.

When people feel at ease, their personality becomes brighter. Coupled with Jia Zheng's love, Aunt Zhao looks more nourished.

Her skin is white, her mouth is red, and her nose and eyes are smiling all day long. Every day when Mrs. Wang sees her, she is like a toad lying on her feet, which can't be kicked off, which makes her feel even more bored.

It's just that these days, because of Yuanchun's death, sister Xue's illness, and brother Wang Ziteng's absence in the capital, she is in a very bad mood and has no mood to torment Aunt Zhao, which makes this half-aged lady even more charming.

Daiyu hadn't planned to come on the day of Jia's mother's birthday, but this time the gift was almost calculated, and she had turned against Jia's family and resolutely declared that she had broken off diplomatic relations with Jia's family.

Although Jia's mother made a quick decision and asked Wang Xifeng to send her back to Yuyuan, the purpose was to persuade her to persuade Daiyu to return, so as to restore the relationship between Daiyu and Jia's mansion.

Xifeng lived up to her mission and followed behind Daiyu, talking nicely about several carts.

Daiyu just kept silent, leaving no room for maneuver.

I remember that day, after leaving Jia's mansion, Daiyu asked Wang Xifeng to go back regardless of feelings.

Fortunately, Wang Xifeng has a thick skin. She thought that if she really went back, it might be difficult to see Daiyu again in the future, so she kept a lazy face and followed Daiyu buzzing like a skinny fly.Along the way, regardless of Xueyan's sarcastic remarks and Xiugu's words that are more powerful than knives, she followed Daiyu into Yuyuan.

Wang Xifeng is really smart, she knows that this time it will be difficult to win back Dai Yu's cold heart.

After following Yuyuan, Daiyu said that she was tired and was going to bed.

Wang Xifeng put down her figure, smiled playfully, and served Daiyu with more dedication than Xueyan Zijuan.

Kind people are always hard-hearted and unable to lose face.

So, kind people always look weak.

After all, Daiyu is a girl who has not left the court, one is really tender, and the other is that when she was in Jia's mansion, Wang Xifeng, who was all-round and exquisite, really did not feel sorry for Daiyu, in some respects, she was quite considerate of Daiyu.

As the saying goes: If you stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling face, Daiyu really can't help her being soft and hard, so she has to listen to her.

Wang Xifeng saw that Daiyu's feelings for her were a little loose, took advantage of the situation and sat in front of Daiyu's bed, wiped away tears and told Daiyu true and false, and said a lot of heartfelt words.In short, I want Daiyu not to be angry with her, and to be good sisters with her.

Daiyu is the girl who repays the favor of dripping water and springs up.

At this moment, she was so annoying, thinking that she used to be in Jia's mansion, no matter what purpose she had, she treated him well.He knew that he should drive her back, but he couldn't save face and harden his heart.

This may be human nature, a common problem of kind people.

Zijuan Xueyan felt that the girl was too embarrassed to push Wang Xifeng away. Looking back on her days in Jia's mansion, although she was a famous and powerful master, she was still kind to the girl, so she was not very indifferent to her.

Mother Jia is really shrewd, she knows that only Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and Xichun in Jia's house can make do with Daiyu.

Li Wan is a widow and cannot easily leave the house.Also, Li Wan usually kept quiet, although her eyebrows were low and pleasing to the eye, no one could fathom her thoughts.Li Wan cannot take on the important task of persuading Daiyu.

Xichun is a girl, and it is reasonable to say that she and Daiyu should be the closest, but Xichun has always been cold-hearted, and she has recently become interested in Shui Rong, if she were to persuade Daiyu, it might make things worse.

Wang Xifeng did try her best to win over Daiyu, but she is very smart.

She knew that at this time, if she interceded for the Jia family again, she would lose Daiyu's last affection.

Sensing words and observing emotions is her unique talent. In front of Daiyu, every word she said followed Daiyu's thoughts.

The principle of life she pursues is: people go to high places, and water flows to low places.

She will not sacrifice herself for others.

Wang Xifeng was careful in company in front of Daiyu, his mouth was dry and his voice was a little hoarse.

Zijuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Second Mistress Lian drinks saliva to moisten her throat, rest for a while, and then talk again, you are not too tired, my girl listens, she is still tired."

"Look at you crazy little hoof, Sister Lin didn't even mention me, you are talking about me. For the sake of serving me to drink tea, I will spare you." Wang Xifeng took Zijuan and handed it over He drank a few sips of tea, smiled and spoke truthfully about Zijuan, turned to look at Daiyu, and continued to talk.

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, and said with a chuckle, "You're a shabby household, even tea can't stop your mouth."

Seeing Daiyu smile, Wang Xifeng happily put down the tea bowl, slapped her hands and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Sister Lin smiled, and she won't be angry anymore."

Daiyu said sternly: "Sister Feng, thinking about the love you treated me before, we sisters are still sisters. I'm not angry with you, and you don't bother me anymore. From now on, don't mention Jia's house in front of me." Words. How the Jia family treats me, you have a clear account in your heart, and you know better than anyone else. You can understand the old lady's thoughts better than anyone else, and it's not good to say it."

Wang Xifeng was startled for a moment, and sure enough she never mentioned Jia's house again, but just laughed and said some other funny things to make Daiyu's master and servant laugh.

Xiu Gu watched from the side, and couldn't help smiling a little, thinking to herself: This Wang Xifeng is indeed a rare talent, but it's a pity that he was born in the Wang's mansion and married in Jia's mansion.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Xifeng saw that Daiyu's words had reached this point, it would be useless to talk about it, it would be really stupid to get herself out after finally getting herself trapped.

Thinking that Mother Jia must be looking forward to her reply, thinking of Mother Jia's doting on her, she is determined to make one last effort, and tentatively said: "Sister Lin, the old lady must be looking forward to my return, so I will tell the old lady You calm down a bit, okay?"

"Whatever you say, I'm afraid you won't be able to correct your lies. In this life, I won't recognize the relatives of Jia's family. All the affairs of Jia's family have nothing to do with me." Daiyu said lightly, He casually picked up a book, covered his face, and stopped talking to Wang Xifeng.

Seeing Daiyu like this, Wang Xifeng slapped himself regretfully, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be angry, I won't mention it again."

When she returned to Jia's mansion, she considered that this matter was no different than anything else. If she concealed Daiyu's attitude from Jia's mother, she would send herself to make trouble in the future, so she decided to report everything to Jia's mother carefully.

After hearing this, Jia Mu was dumbfounded. After a while, she sighed and said nothing.

Even so, on the day of Jia Mu's birthday, the Jia family still regarded the gift from Daiyu as a treasure, and placed it side by side with the gift from the Beijing Palace in the most conspicuous place.

Mother Jia is celebrating her birthday this year. If it were in previous years, there would be a special event at that time, which would be extremely lively.

Now, there is no imperial concubine or concubine in the palace, and a powerful relative, Prince Teng, is not in the capital either.

On the gift display stand, there is no birthday gift for the noble concubine in the palace, and Daiyu and the Beijing Palace have the highest birthday gifts.

Baochai failed to murder Daiyu, and he had ghosts in his heart. He was afraid that Jia's mother would pursue it seriously, so he had to piece together and rack his brains to make Jia's mother happy.

She mortgaged the property Mrs. Wang gave her, took out a little dowry of her own, exchanged a lot of silver, and reluctantly made a birthday for Jiamu that could pass, although it was much colder than in previous years, But it still makes sense.

Of course, Mother Jia understood the current economic situation of Jia's mansion, and she knew that it was not easy for Baochai to make her birthday like this.

At first, she was very angry that Baochai broke Daiyu's heart by disregarding her feelings, which caused Daiyu to break up with her.

Now seeing how dedicated she is to her birthday, she couldn't help but dispel the resentment in her heart a bit.

Who is Jia Mu?

This is an old man who is very shrewd, has seen wind and rain, and experienced the world. Of course, she is very clear that everything Baochai does is for the Jia family.

It's just that Qi Baochai doesn't communicate with herself, and discusses everything with her aunt and mother-in-law, Wang Shi, which leads to clumsy methods and childish handling of things.

Jia's mother had to admire Baochai's boldness and carefulness in her heart. She thought that if time passed, Xue Baochai would definitely become the pillar of Jia's family.

Therefore, not only did Jia's mother not pursue Baochai, but her attitude towards Baochai became more and more pleasant.

That day, Baoyu was in a daze in his study, and vaguely heard that Daiyu had come to give gifts to the old lady to celebrate her birthday.

He couldn't sit still any longer, and his longing for many days turned into a huge frenzy, which was unstoppable.

Regardless of the attackers' desperate efforts to stop him, he arrived near Hanchun Pavilion in no time.She just stood far away in the shade of flowers, staring greedily at Daiyu.

I just feel that Daiyu is more elegant and beautiful than when she was in Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Baoyu couldn't control his emotions, and was about to go to talk, when suddenly he saw Baochai Xiangyun running towards him crying.

"Save Sister Lin!" The shout shocked him out of his wits.

Just now I saw sister Lin standing behind the old lady, why did she disappear for a while.

He rubbed his eyes, and sure enough, Sister Lin was gone.

In desperation, he saw Wang Xifeng and Xiu Gu rushing towards the grove.

He thought that Daiyu was in danger in the grove, so he couldn't help but rushed over.

As soon as he reached the small forest, he was caught by Mrs. Wang who was chasing him.

He desperately struggled to get to the corpse, but did not see Lin Daiyu.Looking at Xiugu's expression, it didn't look like Daiyu had encountered an accident, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Just about to ask Wang Xifeng and Xiugu, where is sister Lin?

Xiugu first asked him if he knew the dead man.

He hurriedly took a look at the dead man, and when he recognized that the dead man was the son of Grandma Xue Pan, he was severely reprimanded by Mrs. Wang and slapped him several times.

Baoyu was really bewildered, and Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out, feeling aggrieved and anxious in his heart.

Then, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but drag him back to Yihong Courtyard, hand him over to Xiren herself, and strictly ordered Xiren to take good care of her and not let her leave Yihong Courtyard again.

Baoyu was in his yard, like a little mouse locked in a cage, with two black eyes open, lying on the quilt, unable to hold back tears.

At this time, Baoyu looked very pitiful, painful, and contradictory.

Baoyu, who has a cowardly personality and is greedy for pleasure, hates the career path of scholars, and looks like a noble and famous scholar.

He sharply satirizes those who are keen on fame and fame as "thieves for fame", "country thieves and ghosts"; it is because he is afraid of reading those boring books that are required to test for fame and fame, and he only likes to read eclectic novels such as "Scholar, Beauty and Ladies". "The West Chamber" and the like.

He seems to treat people equally, respects individuality, and advocates that everyone is free to act according to his own will. That is because he likes to live a life of wealth and leisure in the daughter country of Daguanyuan, where he fights grass and hairpins, sings softly, and lives freely. .

He loves Lin Daiyu very much in his heart, but when he meets the gentle and charming Xue Baochai and the elegant and free and easy Shi Xiangyun, he is dazzled and emotional, and cannot control himself.

He seems to have rebellious thoughts and behaviors. In fact, he always has the privilege of a noble son in his heart, and he is always proud of his sister as an imperial concubine.This fully shows that deep down in his heart, he still admires power and interests.

Therefore, when he knew that Daiyu was assigned by the emperor to be married to the assistant king Shui Rong, he immediately felt ashamed and completely gave up on Daiyu.

When she heard that Daiyu had come to Jia's mansion, she couldn't restrain Ai Lian and wanted to see her.Hearing that Daiyu was in danger, he also desperately wanted to save her.

When his mother, Mrs. Wang, caught him, he could only struggle to have a look.

After he was slapped heavily on the face, he was completely dumbfounded, and was taken away by his mother, Mrs. Wang, without any personality.

A man just hid in his little Yihong Courtyard, weeping silently.

People may be like this, the more you can't get something, the more precious it feels.

Baoyu was extremely sad because he knew that he really couldn't get Daiyu.

In the past, Daiyu lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Baoyu loved Daiyu in his heart, so he just ran over to see if there was nothing to do, tell some jokes to relieve Daiyu's boredom, and send some small items to her daughter's house to make Daiyu happy.

Occasionally there was some small awkwardness, and Baoyu was also sad, but not as sad as now.

At that time, he always felt that sooner or later Daiyu would be his own.

Even though he knew that Daiyu left Jia's mansion and lived in her own Yuyuan, and later went to the south to visit graves, although he had worries and anxieties, deep down in his heart he still believed that the old lady would give Daiyu to him sooner or later. .

When he clearly knew that Daiyu was appointed by the emperor to be married to the eldest prince, and that she was the future assistant princess, his heart immediately turned cold, and his mind suddenly became clear.

He was neither surprised nor resentful, and had a sense of destiny.

He suddenly felt that his heart seemed to be empty all of a sudden, and his spirit became much lighter.

Occasionally, he would secretly ask himself: Jia Baoyu, don't you love Sister Lin very much?Why didn't you feel particularly sad when you heard that sister Lin really won't marry you?

He didn't want to think deeply, let alone answer this question, because he knew himself best.

Baoyu is now being handed over to Xiren by Mrs. Wang, and he is not allowed to leave Yihong Courtyard.

He cried for a while, then sat there very quietly, seemingly in a daze.

In order to comfort him, Xiren chatted with him about everything, and during the conversation, he actually mentioned Daiyu, and Xiren stopped the topic with a thud.

Seeing that Baoyu's expression is not abnormal at all, it's like hearing a story, hearing Xiren mention Daiyu.

Xiren saw that Baoyu seemed to be in a stable state of mind, and guessed that Baoyu had really given up on Daiyu.

She couldn't help thinking, would this Second Master Bao give his heart to Baochai?Xiren shook his head lightly, denying his thoughts with a smile.

She saw that she and Baoyu were the only ones in the room, and while Baochai was not at home, she quietly revealed to Baoyu all the information she had heard about Daiyu, hoping that Baoyu would turn his heart to herself from now on.

Unexpectedly, after Baoyu finished listening, he stood up and smiled at the attacker: "Oh, now I finally understand the meaning of 'jade belt hanging in the forest'."

Xiren listened without thinking, and seeing Baoyu's mysterious smile, he didn't dare to ask more questions, for fear of provoking his madness again.

She went to bring a bowl of tea, and said with a smile: "My lord, we've been talking for a long time, why don't you drink some tea."

Baoyu took the tea bowl, drank a few sips, and smiled softly: "Yes, I should study hard, no matter what, I have to pass some exams, so that the old ladies and wives are happy."

Seeing Baoyu speak like this, Xiren couldn't tell whether he was surprised or happy.

Looking at Baoyu silently, he thought to himself: Over the past few days, the old ladies and wives should have been happy to see Baoyu becoming more and more sensible, but seeing them, it seems that they can't be happy at all.

Mrs. Jia Muwang can't be happy, how can a girl understand it?

Xiren only saw the surface of Jia's house, which was enough to shock her.

Rongguo Mansion, which used to be full of traffic and guests, is now deserted and very cold.

The old lady who always likes to be lively is now only accompanied by her daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law and servants' daughters-in-law. In the past, the family members of the high-ranking officials hardly came to the door anymore.

The person who gave Jia's family the most face is Daiyu, but she has turned against Jia's house, and she is so close, like a world apart.

Could it be that Jia's fate is really at an end?

As soon as this idea came to his mind, Xiren couldn't help shivering, and hurried to the ground, "Bah! Bah!" He spit a few times, and stomped hard with his feet a few times.

"Hey, sister Xiren, what's the matter?" Hearing the voice, Xiren looked up and saw that it was Yuchuan, the girl in Mrs. Wang's room.

Xiren hurriedly greeted Yuchuan with a smile, and was going to entertain her with fruit.

Yu Chuan said with a smile: "Sister Xiren, don't be too busy, hurry up and prepare the clothes for the second master Bao to go out. Tomorrow morning, the wife will take him and the second grandma Bao to meet the guests at Uncle Wang's house."

Seeing that Xiren was in a daze, she explained with a smile: "Mrs. Wang sent a letter, saying that Prince Bao's uncle, Prince Teng, was promoted to an official position and transferred back to Kyoto to serve as a cabinet scholar. This is a great official. Now the Jia Mansion is getting better again."
