Dai Yuxin says

Xueyan rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Ah Shan has enough clothes. Last year, he made several woolen clothes for him. Before he could wear them, the weather got warmer, and he couldn't wear them anymore. This year, Ah Shan has already asked, He said that he must not let the girl ask someone to make clothes for him again. His suitcases and cabinets are almost too big to fit, so it’s a pity to put them there. Sister Zijuan asked someone to make two pairs of boots for Ah Shan a while ago. Not at all sympathetic, and said he still had some new pairs of boots."

Zijuan whispered softly: "Don't look at Ashan as a small man, he is a big man with a lot of thoughts. He only hopes that the girl will make more clothes, and the clothes will be comfortable and beautiful."

Under the candlelight, the three masters and servants chatted and laughed, flying needles and threads, rushing to make warm clothes for the border crossing.

Since Jia's mother's birthday, Jia's mansion often sent people over to bring Daiyu some food or gadgets.

Every time Daiyu avoided seeing her, and returned all the things she sent back intact.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue wanted to trouble Daiyu, but couldn't find a chance.

Mother Jia wanted to mend her relationship with Daiyu, but Daiyu's heart was as calm as water, and no matter what happened to Jia's house, she just remained unmoved.

On this day, Daiyu and Zijuan Xueyan were sitting in the Fengxiang Pavilion doing needlework, and the mother-in-law came to pass the report: "The second grandma and the fourth girl of the Jia family are here. Miss, see?"

The water-soluble clothes have just been made and are about to call it a day. Daiyu holds them and looks at them carefully. She is very satisfied and in a good mood.

Hearing that someone from Jia's mansion came, not only frowned, but said impatiently: "No see!"

Just when Xiugu came in, she heard that the Jia family had sent someone again, and seeing Daiyu's annoyed expression, she smiled meaningfully and said, "These two people from the Jia family, it's okay for the girl to see them."

Xueyan now respects Xiugu very much, and after listening to Xiugu's words, she doesn't think too much about it, believing that Xiugu has a heart for Daiyu, she giggled and said, "Young lady, when she was reading yesterday, she was still thinking about something. Know yourself and your enemy, can you win a hundred battles? Girls are honored now, and the Jia family will definitely try to win over girls. We have nothing to do, so let's just pretend to be full and use them for entertainment."

Daiyu snorted, looked at the red leaves on the mountain outside the window, and ignored the snow geese.

Zijuan complained: "Could it be that you have forgotten how Jia's mansion harmed the girl? Jia's mansion is like a dog's skin plaster, once it is stained, it is difficult to get rid of."

At this time, Daiyu never thought that Xichun would be attracted to Shui Rong, and she didn't know Xichun's hidden thoughts.

Since Jia's mother's birthday, Daiyu was determined to break off relations with Jia's mansion.

But what she really wants to break up with are those powerful people in Jia's mansion. She doesn't like Xichun and others, Wang Xifeng and others who have lost power, even Baoyu, but she doesn't hate them too much. (Dear, don't shoot, remember, Daiyu won't be deceived, won't be weak.)

A pure-hearted woman like Daiyu always likes to save others with her beautiful and kind heart.

Sometimes, I also know that people are unpredictable, but I always hope that it is not as dirty as I think.

Therefore, good people often suffer losses, and good intentions are not rewarded well, and this is the reason.

"Go, please come in with the second sister-in-law and the fourth girl." Seeing Zijuan looking at her in confusion, Daiyu smiled and said: "As the saying goes, a man can distinguish between grievances and resentments. As a woman, I can't separate right from wrong. These two people It's not a kindness to me, but it's not a fault. They are my mother's niece, niece, and daughter-in-law, and they are beggars. Now that they have arrived at the door of my Lin's house, they can't just be pushed out like this."

Wang Xifeng and Xichun were led to Fengxiang Pavilion.

Fengxiang Pavilion was built on the top of a small hill, surrounded by soil dug into an artificial lake and buried air-conditioning and heating pipes, plus bluestone brought from outside and stone piles from Taihu Lake in the south.

Therefore, the hill is not very high, but it is also undulating, meandering and ups and downs, giving people a feeling of living in the mountains and far away from the world of mortals.

Xifeng Xichun had been to Daiyu's flower room and study flower hall before, and had seen the Xinxiang Pavilion with long glass windows on all sides, and felt that Yuyuan was heaven on earth.

Now when I come to Fengxiang Pavilion, sitting under the bright floor-to-ceiling large glass windows, looking at the mountains covered with maple leaves, I suddenly feel that my heart is bright, and I have a feeling of being out of this world.

Xichun took the tea offered by the little girl, sipped it lightly, and said to Daiyu secretly, "Sister Lin, I like this place so much, can I come here often in the future?"

Xifeng looked at Xichun, then gave Daiyu a meaningful look, and said to Xichun with a smile: "Are you stupid? How can you come here often?"

Xichun said incomprehensibly, "As long as Sister Lin is willing, how can the old lady not let me come? She wishes for me to come and accompany Sister Lin from time to time."

"Hehe, my silly sister, you will be 13 years old next year, so you can be called your in-law's family." Seeing that Xichun didn't seem to understand the meaning of her words, Wang Xifeng deliberately teased and laughed.

Xichun's fiery heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Sister Feng resentfully.

Discussion: How can you say this kind of thing so bluntly? If it doesn't work, won't it cut off your own way out?

Xichun's face turned cold, and in order to show her self-esteem, she said coldly to Wang Xifeng: "I don't want to marry! Are you capable? How are you doing? Are you happy? Our Jia Mansion Girl, counting from the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, which one lives comfortably and happily? To be honest, the one I envy the most is Sister Lin. She has a beautiful garden and can live her little life quietly. , how nice it is."

Sister Feng heard that Xichun asked her how she was doing unceremoniously.Are you happy?I think Xichun is mocking her.

As the saying goes: Hitting someone does not slap him in the face, and exposing someone does not expose his shortcomings.

Xichun unscrupulously revealed the greatest pain in Wang Xifeng's heart and aired it for others to see.

To the arrogant Wang Xifeng, this was worse than slapping her in the face, it was simply exposing her skin!

Sister Feng sneered in her heart and said, "Your brother Jia Zhen's wife You Shi is afraid of you, but I, Wang Xifeng, are not afraid of you."

Now Wang Xifeng cares most about Lin Daiyu, and the person she cares about most is Lin Daiyu, and the person she wants to please is also Lin Daiyu.

Because Lin Daiyu is the concubine of the future assistant prince, Shui Rong loves Daiyu as much as his life, more than his eyeballs.

Being able to win over Lin Daiyu well is to get on the tailwind of the assistant prince.

No matter what you do in the future, it will be smooth sailing.

What are you, Jia Xichun?

Judging from the current situation of Jia's mansion, it's hard to say whether you, Jia Xichun, will be able to find a good relationship!

Wang Xifeng raised her slender eyebrows, narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes into a line, looked at Xichun and said with a cooing smile: "Besides, I also envy your elder sister Lin who has both civil and military skills, a high-ranking assistant prince Lin Brother-in-law, right?"

Daiyu blushed when she heard this, and spat, "Look at you! Just say three words, and you're off to hell."

Sister Feng said to Daiyu seriously: "I just said what my fourth sister thinks in her heart and can't say it."

Xichun was so ashamed that she covered her face with her hands, she was about to shed tears, her face was flushed, she said embarrassedly: "There's no such thing as a sister-in-law, she's just a bully, I won't tell you."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, sister-in-law, let's talk about some serious things now." Xifeng said, stretched out her hand to take Daiyu, stroked Daiyu's soft little hand, looked at Daiyu with a smile, and persuaded her with a smile. Said: "Actually, if you are angry in your heart, my sister-in-law can understand. Anyone who puts that kind of thing on the body will be angry. If you don't get angry, you are really a fool. But, again, my dear mother, break the bone You are the niece of the Jia family, it is destined by the heavens, and you will never be able to erase this fact."

Daiyu sneered, and said, "Sister Feng, I am thinking of the relationship between you and me before. No matter what your motives are, you will never treat me badly. You are here, and I invite you to come into my house. We only talk about it." Don't talk about other things about sisterhood. Otherwise, please forgive Daiyu for not being with me."

Daiyu made a gesture of getting up to leave, so panicked that Xifeng quickly grabbed her, grabbed her little hand, and immediately changed her words: "Okay, it's all my sister's fault, sister, don't be angry. The day after tomorrow is Qixi Festival, I heard that the empress I want to preside over the begging in person, and I have invited many famous ladies from the capital. The old lady thinks that there will be many people going there on this day, and the girls of each family must be accompanied by family members. The old lady is afraid that my sister will be lonely, so she sends me to accompany you and the fourth sister. go."

Daiyu smiled indifferently: "Thank you! I'm not going."

Xichun forgot her shyness, raised her head and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the invitation hasn't been sent to Sister Lin yet?"

Xueyan giggled disdainfully, and said: "Queen, the princess and our girl are the judges of the Qiqiao meeting that day, so who else's invitation letter is needed?"

Xichun blushed, lowered her head and smiled shyly, "It's my younger sister who is ignorant, elder sister Lin, don't be angry with my younger sister."

Daiyu said calmly: "There is nothing to be angry about, you know that I don't like excitement, so why would I want to be a judge? The queen insisted on dragging me to be a judge, it's not my choice." willing."

Sister Feng pulled Daiyu over and said seriously: "My dear sister, you have to go. From now on, the Empress Empress will be your mother-in-law. If you get into trouble with your mother-in-law before you get married, not to mention being in the royal family, it is just ordinary people. For an ordinary family, if the mother-in-law is offended, the daughter-in-law can suffer."

Daiyu sneered, and said, "I have a headache, and the imperial court still doesn't order patients. It's just a game played by begging for cleverness."

On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Daiyu originally wanted to say that she was unwell, but she couldn't shirk it.

Ah Shan found out about this, and thought that Daiyu was in her cardamom age, and she was so lonely at home all day, and wanted the little fairy in her heart to go out and play.

From Xiugu Xueyan and others, he knew that the emperor loved Daiyu very much, and the queen mother died of a sudden illness because she wanted to hurt Daiyu.

Ah Shan expected that the smart queen would think of the cause of the queen mother's death, and would never want to follow the queen mother's path, and would also want to suffer a sudden illness and die.

He provoked Daiyu and said: "Qiqiao Festival is originally Girl's Day. Some famous ladies in the capital want to go to the palace to play, but they can't go if they look yellow. The girl is a fair and just master, why don't you also go to have fun? Otherwise, they will still have fun." I thought the girl was timid and dared not meet people."

As the saying goes: It is better to invite generals than to provoke generals. Daiyu knew that Ah Shan wanted her to go out to have fun, and deliberately provoked her.

The morning before the Qiqiao Festival, Baozhu came and brought two boxes, which she said were gifts from the emperor to Daiyu.

Daiyu laughed and said, "What kind of festival is this?"

Baozhu scratched her scalp and said with a smile: "Yes, the Dragon Boat Festival has passed long ago, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is still early. What kind of festival is it? Whatever it is, the emperor says it is, and Miss Lin is happy to accept it. If Me, I wish I could celebrate the festival every day and receive presents every day."

Ah Shan teased him and said: "So, the orb will always be the orb, and there is no blessing for this kind of gift."

Zijuan opened the box, and saw that one box was made of beautifully colored clothing, and the other box was precious jewelry. Shui Jing likes to give Daiyu jewelry the most, and she gives them every year, festivals, and even birthdays.

I usually give it away when I am happy, and I also want to give it away when I feel the whim.

In Daiyu's warehouse, there are a lot of jewelry, which is enough to open a jewelry shop.

On the morning of the Qiqiao Festival, just as Daiyu woke up, Wang Xifeng arrived in a car with Xichun.

When she saw Daiyu, she smiled like a flower on her pretty face, and her clever mouth was full of witty words, which made Daiyu feel angry and unable to smile, so she agreed to take the two of them along.

However, as soon as she reached the gate of the palace, Daiyu was picked up.

Wang Xifeng and Xichun looked at Daiyu's car longingly, they couldn't tell what it was like in their hearts, especially Xichun, they were even more envious.

On this day, in the imperial garden, a large colorful platform was erected, with many seats and embroidered stools placed on it.

The seats on the highest floor are covered with bright yellow silk satin, and the background curtain behind is embroidered with gorgeous peonies and golden phoenixes in flight. This is for the Empress Dowager and Daiyu.

The last time Daiyu entered the palace, Shui Jing found out that the queen had deliberately neglected Daiyu, and she had a very good opinion of the queen in her heart.

On the surface, he still maintains due respect for the queen, but in his heart, he has always regarded her as a decoration in the harem, a capable housekeeper in the harem.

Ah Shan's idea is correct, this empress is smart, from the empress dowager's violent illness, she realized more clearly that the glory, wealth, and even life of herself and her family would be wiped out as soon as the emperor moved her little finger.

Therefore, anyone can be offended, only the emperor can never be offended.

The queen knew in her heart that since the emperor had clearly expressed her attitude towards Daiyu to herself, she was warning herself not to let Daiyu suffer any more grievances.

She must obey the holy order and take good care of Daiyu, and not let any bad words reach the emperor's ears.

She has lived in the harem for many years and has climbed to the position of queen. Of course, she knows Shui Jing's character very well.

She always thought that Shui Jing didn't like anything other than the throne.

Facts have proved: Lin Daiyu is an exception.

This is something that the queen can't think of, can't understand.

In the imperial garden, flowers are in full bloom and the fragrance is overflowing.

As soon as the sun rose, many famous ladies in the capital gathered at the gate of the imperial palace.

As soon as Daiyu arrived at the gate of the palace, the orb waiting there was received in the South Study Room.

The South Study Room is where Shui Jing usually reads books, calls for attendants to read and give lectures, or discusses classics, history, and poetry with others.

The environment here is quiet, and there are many rare and unique books that cannot be seen by the people.

Daiyu's master and servant have arrived, and it seems that the place has been prepared for a long time, with tea and exquisite pastries, everything you need.

When the aunt foreman saw Daiyu coming in, she hurriedly led the maid to greet her with a smile, and the reception was very considerate.

Baozhu smiled and told Daiyu: "The emperor came to the court early, and then dealt with the affairs of the court, so he can't come and talk to the girl. Tell the girl not to be reserved, just say what you want, and take what you like to see."

"There are so many books here! It's bigger than our girl's study." Xueyan opened her eyes and praised in surprise.

Daiyu gave Xueyan a white look, and lightly scolded: "Where do you think this is? This is the world-famous South Study Room, where the emperor studies, studies and discusses matters."

After speaking, Daiyu walked to the bookshelf and picked up a book, which turned out to be Li Yishan's "Houlin Posthumous Manuscripts".

Daiyu, who has read many books, prefers Li Yishan's poems and essays. Over the years, the most read is "Li Yishan's Collected Works".I only heard that there is a copy of "Houlin Posthumous Manuscript", but I have no luck to witness it.

Seeing it today, I was ecstatic, holding it involuntarily, and reading it attentively.

Xueyan understood Daiyu, and knew that when she saw a good book, she would desperately read it.

Seeing that the foreman aunt was about to speak, she waved her hand quietly, asking the maids and eunuchs in the South Study Room not to disturb Daiyu.

On the other hand, he took Daiyu, who was staring at the book intently, to the couch and sat down. Zijuan took the tea from the maid and put it on the coffee table with a smile.

The south study room was silent, and Daiyu kept turning the pages of the book in her hand, as if she had forgotten that she was here to participate in the Qixi Festival held by the queen.

More than an hour passed, and Zijuan felt that if Daiyu didn't show up again, the queen might blame her.

Gently reminded: "Girl, it's getting late, maybe the empress and the princess are here."

Daiyu reluctantly put down the book in her hand, frowned on Xiumei, and murmured, "How nice it is to be able to read a good book in peace!"

When I came to the Royal Garden, it was already very lively.

The girls who came to see the Queen's Qixi Festival were looking for familiar people.

Some whispered together and laughed from time to time.

Some walked together by the Huacong Lake, pointing and pointing from time to time.

As soon as Daiyu entered the Imperial Garden, the Crown Princess greeted her, warmly held Daiyu's hand, looked at Daiyu carefully, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, there are too many people here, why don't I take you to a quiet place?" Good place to talk."

Just as Daiyu turned around following the crown princess, the sisters of Min Zhina saw her and ran over with a smile, looked left and right around Daiyu, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, sister Lin is much prettier again."

Min Zhinazhi and Wang Xifeng Xichun had met before, but she had never met the Crown Princess, Daiyu smiled and introduced them briefly, they buzzed around like flies when they saw the rotten meat, and tried their best to show their hospitality .

Daiyu stared blankly at the two sisters, wondering in her heart, thinking that the two sisters were not followers of power, could it be that she judged people by herself, was she really wrong?

The environment can make or break a person.

A person who can not be affected by the environment is either a saint with a strong will, or a devil with a strange heart.

In the past, Min Zhinazhi who lived in Ge Lao Mansion was indeed a pure and proud girl.

Today, Mr. Li Ge retired to his hometown in the suburbs of Beijing. Although he still maintains close contact with his relatives and friends in the capital, he is a retired official after all.

The rules of the game in the officialdom are: people leave the tea to cool off.

People are swarming after the new rich and powerful, who can look at the hermit country people who have lost their time?

Min Zhina's sisters followed her back to their hometown in the suburbs of Beijing, living in the old house in Xishan, living a carefree and prosperous life, but they couldn't compare with the prosperity and comfort of the past in the capital.Except for family members and occasional relatives, I rarely see new faces every day.

Where is it like in the capital, many wives and girls will come to accompany the mother to talk, laugh, listen to books and watch plays all day long.

The scenery of Xishan is beautiful, and you will turn a blind eye if you look at it for a long time.

When the sisters were depressed, and the two sisters wanted to go to the capital to buy and write something, the mother would say that now your father has no salary, let alone other extra income, and it would be good to feed the whole family just by relying on this little thing from the field. , where can I spend as much as before?

My mother is a noble princess. From childhood to adulthood, she has been deeply aware of the importance of being an official.

She originally didn't want her husband to resign and go into seclusion, but her husband analyzed the situation in the court to her, and she supported him without hesitation.

Living in her hometown in the suburbs of Beijing for a while, the lonely days eroded her vitality, and the ordinary life made her vulgar, making her unbearable.

At the time of cardamom's youth, she is smart, beautiful, and sensitive, and she doesn't want to sink in this countryside.

The two sisters knew that no matter how the situation in the capital changed, the safest safe haven was the Royal Courtyard.

Therefore, when the two of them knew that the graceful and luxurious young lady in front of them was the crown princess, the empress of the future, it was difficult to control the passion in their hearts, their eyes couldn't help showing flattery, and their mouths couldn't help but say compliments, The demeanor can't help showing a slave image.

However, the Crown Princess is quite used to the behavior of Min Zhina's sisters, and she doesn't take it seriously.

The Crown Princess looked very reserved, looked at Min Zhina's sisters indifferently, nodded casually, and pulled Daiyu away.

Daiyu turned her head and saw Minzhi sisters wanting to follow her, but the princess's maid quietly blocked her sight with her body.

Wang Xifeng and Xichun, who were standing in a secluded corner in the distance, saw Daiyu, and wanted to go over to get close to Daiyu. Because of their limited status, their palace nuns were arranged in a place far away from the canopy.

At this time, he could only look at Daiyu eagerly, and enviously at the Zijuan Xueyan behind Daiyu.

The Crown Princess seemed to suddenly remember Daiyu and her companions, she turned her head and told the maid: "Go and tell them to treat the people brought by Miss Lin well."

The maid agreed, and walked quickly to order.

Daiyu brought Zijuan Xueyan and the princess to an exquisite and unique courtyard. Looking up at the gate of the courtyard, there was a plaque with the word "Daiyuan" engraved on it.

Daiyuan's servants saw the princess and her party leaving, and immediately opened the vermilion gate of Daiyuan, and a group of eunuchs and maids dressed in new clothes came out. Seeing the arrival of the princess and Daiyu, they knelt on both sides and shouted in unison: " Good luck to the Crown Princess! Good luck to Miss Lin!"

The Crown Princess dragged Daiyu into the main hall and pushed Daiyu to the master's seat. Daiyu smiled and said, "How is this possible?"

The princess's pretty face was full of smiles, she winked her eyes and wrinkled her nose and said, "I'm a guest at your house, do you want me to overwhelm the host and be rude?"
