Dai Yuxin says
Chapter 91
Mother Jia was noncommittal, smiled slightly, and turned to chat with others.
Wang Xifeng saw Mrs. Wang's face was ugly, so she pointed out something and went out.
Li Wan also excused Jia Lan's affairs and walked out.
Tanchun Xichun didn't dare to leave, so she had to sit silently with her.
Mrs. Xing was very happy, talking and laughing with Jia's mother in a pleasant manner.
Mrs. Wang was restless. Seeing Baochai sitting there upright, looking at her nose and heart, she didn't know what she was thinking.
Can't help getting up and laughing together: "Old lady, if it's okay, my wife will go back and prepare to pick up the eldest girl tomorrow."
"Well, I'm tired too, you guys go away, the second wife stays for a while." Mother Jia ordered.
Mrs. Wang thought proudly: Hmph, I thought you really didn't care!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were the only ones left in the room. Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang and whispered solemnly: "I didn't want to say it, but I can't say it. But I'm afraid you will do something stupid again and hurt yourself." Not to mention, I'm afraid you will implicate the empress in the palace and our entire Jia family."
Mrs. Wang heard Jia Mu's tone so serious, looked up at Jia Mu's well-maintained old face in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Why did the old lady say that?"
"Do you remember the people who came to the palace last time?" Mrs. Wang nodded lightly when she heard what Jiamu said, "I remember, I asked if it was about my concubine, you and the master have not told the daughter-in-law until now. "
Jia Mu nodded and said: "Actually, that father-in-law came to deliver a secret decree for the emperor. It has nothing to do with our mother, but has something to do with Lin girl. The emperor not only remembers Lin Hai, but also cares about Yu'er. He issued a secret decree for me and Your master, you want us not to wrong Yu'er in everything. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Wang's complexion was pale, she felt weak all over, she forced herself to nod and replied: "My wife knows."
Jia Mu looked at the second daughter-in-law, knowing that she didn't really understand, and continued: "You are the biological mother of the imperial concubine and empress, you must know the truth that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and you must think of your empress in everything you say and do. A small loss is a big loss. If Yu'er had acted according to my wishes, there would be no troubles today."
"The daughter-in-law didn't expect the emperor to miss the old minister so much. Baoyu's marriage was originally intended to be according to the old lady's wishes. It's just the mother's words, and the daughter-in-law is not easy to refute." Mrs. Wang whispered cowardly, and pushed it all to Jia Yuanchun. body.
She glanced at Jia Mu secretly from the corner of her eyes, secretly proud of herself, and said: "Aren't you amazing?"In front of my daughter, what else can you do?
"Oh! It's over in the past. I'm telling you this secret today so that you know what's going on. You should know how powerful it is. I won't say anything else." Mother Jia sat there wearily, with her hands in her hands. Pressing her temples, rubbing them gently, she stopped talking.
"The daughter-in-law won't pick up the eldest girl tomorrow, let's talk about it when the third girl comes out of the cabinet." Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu and asked hesitantly.
Mother Jia waved her hand feebly and said, "It's up to you."
Mrs. Wang left Jiamu's room and returned to Rongxi Hall listlessly, where she saw Baochai sitting there waiting for her to come back and speak.
Baochai saw that she was like an eggplant beaten by frost, without any energy.
He walked over and stretched out two tender little hands, gently squeezed her back, and told in detail what he saw and heard in Yuyuan in a soft voice.
Baochai's narration revived Mrs. Wang's desire that had just been extinguished by Jia's mother.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law murmured about the value of Yuyuan, and the more they calculated, the more itchy they became.
Seeing the sparkle in Mrs. Wang's eyes, Baochai couldn't help smiling triumphantly.
One day, after Mrs. Wang came to pay her respects to Mother Jia, before serving breakfast, she hurriedly said: "Yesterday, the emperor let my elder brother take a foreign post, and he will leave within three days. My sister-in-law wants me to go back and meet."
Mother Jia was startled when she heard this, and she didn't feel very good, so she hurriedly asked, "Why is this matter so urgent? I haven't heard your master mention it before?"
"The daughter-in-law only found out about it last night, and I haven't had time to tell the master." Mrs. Wang was anxious, and hurriedly added: "Last night, my sister-in-law sent someone, and didn't say anything, as long as I go back early to meet. I My brother is in charge of the capital of nine provinces, and he returned to the capital to report on his duties after he was ordered to investigate the border. Even if he is going to be released again, it will take some time as usual, why is it so urgent this time?"
After hearing this, Mother Jia wondered to herself whether the emperor was so eager to ask the prince to vacate his post outside Beijing, whether it was for reuse or something else.
You must know that Wang Ziteng is a powerful figure with military power in the capital, and an important minister who protects the safety of the capital, so speaking in the court is very important.
Wang Ziteng's departure from the capital is not only inconvenient for the people of the Jia family to find someone to do business in the capital, but also the empresses in the palace may be affected to some extent. This is not a trivial matter, why there was no news in advance?
Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang with unfathomable eyes, and said worriedly: "You go, and I will ask your master to come and have a look."
After Mrs. Wang left, Sister Feng came over in a hurry, and happily told Mother Jia that her uncle Wang Ziteng had been promoted to another level and was honored as the procurator of the nine provinces.
After hearing this, Mother Jia felt relieved, and smiled happily: "Your aunt has gone back, you pack up and go with Lian'er to congratulate your uncle."
Sister Feng happily agreed to go.
Wangfu, Wang Ziteng was promoted to an official position, the gate of the Wangfu was deserted, and there was no joyful scene.
Mrs. Wang came to the gate of the palace in a sedan chair, and saw that her brother's house was no different from the past.I thought to myself that when Yuan Chun became a noble concubine, the gate of Jia's mansion was full of people coming and going at this time, congratulators were constantly coming and going, and the sky was full of laughter.
My elder brother has been promoted, so it should be the time when congratulatory guests keep coming, why is he so cold?
She was full of doubts, walked into the second door, and the sister-in-law had already greeted her, pulled her and said with a smile: "Your brother guessed that you should be here, it really is brother and sister, go quickly, your brother is waiting in the study."
Mrs. Wang walked into Wang Ziteng's study and saw her elder brother's face was haggard, his eye sockets were gray and bloodshot, obviously he didn't sleep well at night.
She was about to salute and congratulate, when Wang Ziteng pointed to the chair next to him, without a smile on his face, he said in a low voice, "Sit down."
The girl brought tea, and stepped back gently.
Only then did Wang Ziteng face Mrs. Wang, with a hoarse voice, and said, "Two days ago, the Ministry of Criminal Justice imprisoned a prisoner with a tiger's head print on his left chest. I heard that this person entered Yuyuan in Sahua Hutong in the middle of the night and was arrested. After being bitten by a dog, he was caught and sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Sister, what's going on here?"
Mrs. Wang lowered her head and thought for a while, gritted her teeth, shook her head vigorously, and said in a low voice, "What's going on? My sister doesn't know either."
Wang Ziteng straight-faced, straight to the point: "Sister, I know that before my father passed away, I gave you six dead soldiers of the royal family. The tattoo on the left chest of this criminal from the Ministry of Punishment is the symbol of our dead soldiers from the royal family. I heard that this criminal and Shangyuan Like the criminals who robbed the nieces of the Jia family on the festival day, they all had tiger head prints on their left breasts. This matter may have attracted the attention of the court. This time I released it very suddenly. It is also much less, it is very likely that our dead soldiers of the Wang family leaked the secret."
Mrs. Wang suddenly sat upright, looked up at Wang Ziteng, stared at the dead fish eyes in horror, and whispered: "No way? If the secret is really leaked, how can the emperor promote brother?"
"I think the ancestors of our Wang family earned this little glory with real swords and guns. In my father's life, they no longer had hereditary titles. It was me who studied hard and embarked on an official career that kept our Wang family's current glory and wealth. Sister, Even if you don't think about our royal family, you have to think about the noble concubines in the palace. Those dead men were left to you by your father to cherish you, just in case. Good steel should be used wisely, if it is to keep the noble concubine Anwei, not only will I not say anything, but I will do my best to support you. For the sake of an orphan left by Lin Hai, I used our dead soldiers from the Wang family, and even made a chicken-and-egg fight, really..."
When Wang Ziteng said this, he was so angry that he stopped his feet hard, as if he wanted to vent all his anger, looked up at Mrs. Wang's ugly bitter face, and finally swallowed it forcefully, sighed, and went on Said: "Fortunately, I heard that the dead man from the Ministry of Punishment committed suicide by biting his tongue. Sister, you must think twice before doing anything in the future."
Mrs. Wang lowered her head again.
In Jia Shi Wang Xue's four families, apart from Jia's concubine, who has the highest official position and the most powerful is Wang Ziteng.
Her backer, her glory, besides Yuan Chun, is her elder brother Wang Ziteng.
Without this elder brother, not only myself, but also the empresses in the palace would have nothing to rely on.
Since she was a child, she admired this brother and was even more afraid of him.
Now, even though she did not admit to the matter of the dead man, this elder brother told the truth straight to the point, and mercilessly asked her to think twice before doing anything.
She nodded involuntarily and replied, "I will obey my brother in everything."
When Wang Xifeng returned to the palace, he saw Mrs. Wang sitting there talking to her aunt with a dull expression on her face. After she stepped forward to salute, she said, "I heard that my uncle is leaving tomorrow. It should also be lively, Second Master Lian said that he knows a troupe with good singing and writing, and has invited them over."
Mrs. Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "Because your uncle left in a hurry, we didn't plan to have a lot of fun. Since the two of you have the heart to send the troupe over, after the noon banquet, let them sing here twice. Our family guests Not many, why not bring the girls from the Jia family over, and let's have fun together."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "I knew that my aunt loved my younger sisters, so I will send someone to pick them up right away."
"By the way, you can take your sister Lin over." Mrs. Wang looked at Sister Feng and added earnestly.
That day, after Daiyu celebrated her birthday, in the early morning of the next day, people were sleeping soundly, and the wolf dogs in Yuyuan barked together.
Ah Shan led his men to the corner of Yuyuan, and arrested a man with a tiger's head print on his left chest.
That man might have been scared out of his wits by the wolfdogs, or more likely because he was drugged by Ah Shan. People didn't ask him, so he told the truth to Ah Shan in a daze.
He said that he was the dead man given to Mrs. Wang in Jia's mansion by the dead old man of the Wang family, and he came to assassinate Lin Daiyu last night under the secret order of Mrs. Wang.I heard people say that Lin Daiyu was beautiful and beautiful like a fairy. Originally, she wanted to sneak into the Jade Garden in the early morning when people were sleeping soundly, rape and then kill.Unexpectedly, Yuyuan's dogs were so powerful. As soon as he landed on the ground, he was surrounded by several dogs that rushed over.
He wanted to jump out with Shi Qinggong, but just as he was about to move, two dogs jumped up and bit his ankles, and the other two jumped up and bit his wrists.
His sword and hidden weapon were useless, so he lay on the ground in a daze, waiting to be captured.
Hearing this, Ah Shan was so enraged that he was about to explode, wishing to smash him to pieces immediately.He blinked his strange eyes, one big and one small, and finally decided to save his life.
On the one hand, Ashan sent a servant to send the dead man to the Yamen, on the other hand, he went to the address left by Baozhu himself, and asked someone to tell Baozhu Yuyuan what happened.
As soon as the sky turned white, Baozhu hurried to Laiyuyuan and told Ah Shan that the fourth master had already known what happened in Yuyuan in the early morning, and was extremely angry. He said that he must investigate to the end and never let a bad person go.
Baozhu suggested that Ah Shan must keep his mouth shut and not tell this matter, so that Daiyu would not be frightened when he found out.
In fact, in the early hours of the morning, the barking of dogs on the Yuyuan wall had already alarmed Zhilantang's chasing wind and moon, and also awakened Daiyu.
She heard chasing the wind and chasing the moon barking wildly, and she knew that there must be thieves in Yuyuan.
She sat up quietly, and silently put on the self-defense ring that Ah Shan gave her.
In the dark, I found that Zijuan Xueyan had already put on her clothes and was guarding her bedside in full battle.
Regardless of the persuasion of Zijuan and Xueyan, Daiyu put on her clothes, supported Zijuan, Xueyan led the way, followed by chasing the wind and moon, and quietly came to the scene of the incident.
In the early morning, it is the darkness before dawn, the coldest time of the day.
Gusts of cold wind brought the extremely shameless and heartbreaking words of the deceased members of the Wang family, and Daiyu felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
Zijuan Xueyan hurriedly supported Daiyu, who was pale and on the verge of falling, and persuaded her: "Young lady is a rich and powerful person, how could that villainous screwdriver harm her! See, the assassin was caught by Ah Shan Is it? It's too cold outside, girl, let's go back to the house."
The three of them brought Chasing Wind and Chasing Moon into Zhilan Hall when Xiu Gu came in with a steaming bowl of ginger tea and said with a smile, "I made a bowl of ginger tea for the girl, and drank it while it was hot to warm her body."
Daiyu took a sip and said to Zijuan and Xueyan, "You two also drink a bowl, so as not to catch cold and get sick."
Zijuan Xueyan stood there pursing her lips and said with a smile: "As long as the girl is good, everything will be fine."
Xiu Gu smiled and said: "The girl is delicate, and you two are not made of iron. I have boiled a lot of ginger tea, you two are going to drink it while it is hot, do you still want me to bring it for you?"
Zijuan Xueyan smiled happily and said, "If you dare to work for Auntie there, we will go by ourselves."
Xiugu waited for Daiyu to finish drinking the ginger tea, and said with a concerned smile: "It's still a while before dawn, miss, why don't you go to bed and sweat for a while."
Daiyu obeyed, lying on the bed very obediently, with her eyes closed, scenes of things she didn't want to think about flashed through her mind.
When I first entered Jia's mansion, my father Lin Hai was at the peak of his career. The old lady wanted to marry Baoyu and herself so that I could eat and live with Baoyu. Everyone in Jia's mansion, especially Wang Xifeng , I often joked to myself: "Our mansion is your home, and you will be the daughter-in-law of our mansion in the future. Don't treat yourself as a foreigner."
After a long time, I also vaguely thought that Jia's mansion was my home, and Baoyu was my future lover.
Later, the Xue family came to the capital from Jinling and lived in Jia's mansion. Baochai dangled around with a shining golden lock all day long.Later, when my father passed away, when I was still young, I thought that the people of Jia's family were my flesh and blood relatives, and I would be the daughter-in-law of Jia's family in the future, and never asked about my family's property.In fact, even asking questions is tantamount to asking in vain.The property accumulated by the Lin family for several lifetimes disappeared inexplicably, and even the ancestral house of the Lin family was sold by the Jia family, but he himself did not see any money.
The cost of food and clothing is just the same as that of the girls in Jia's mansion, with a monthly payment of two taels of silver.
Immediately after Jia's mansion spread rumors of a happy marriage, even the maids in Yihongyuan treated Baochai as their future master and fawned on her.
At that time, Baoyu seemed to be infatuated with herself.In fact, I know very well that Baoyu's heart has changed a lot.For example, not only does he look at Baochai differently, but also has an ambiguous relationship with the maids around him, and Xiren is spoiled by him so lawlessly that he is simply a bully in Yihongyuan.
She is a lonely and helpless orphan girl, and she and Baoyu are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.I hope that he can cherish his pure and flawless feelings, and hope that the old lady is his own grandmother, who will definitely make decisions for himself, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and have a proper home.
However, in the face of interests, Jia's family ties are as thin as paper, and Baoyu's feelings are even more vulnerable.
Not only did Jia's family completely abandon him, but his aunt and aunt even sent assassins to humiliate and kill him in order to get his own Yuyuan.
Daiyu lay on the bed, the past was like smoke, vivid in her mind, thinking about it, she was sad, and she was very glad that she did not become the daughter-in-law of Jia's family.
Once figured out, everything suddenly became clear.
Daiyu secretly vowed in her heart: she will never be entangled in emotional matters again.
Suddenly, Daiyu remembered Shui Jing's words: "If Jia's house is ransacked, will you sympathize with them and intercede for them?"
She clenched her fists tightly and said: If I really have such ability, for the sake of mother, I will not add insult to injury, but I will never sympathize, let alone help.Otherwise, wouldn't my daughter of the Lin family become a muddled person who doesn't know right from wrong and who doesn't understand her grievances?
Under the urging of Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and came to Yuyuan again with Baochai Tanchun and others.
She had a smile on her face, and when she saw Daiyu, she approached Daiyu and smiled affectionately: "Sister Lin, my uncle has been promoted to the nine provincial capital inspectors, and he will go to his post tomorrow. Today, my family invited the best opera in Beijing." The troupe is singing opera, my aunt and wife love my younger sister and want us to pick her up to listen to the opera and relax."
Baochai turned against the guests, and greeted Zijuan with a smile: "Why don't you dress up your girl soon?"
When Zicuckoo saw that it was the Jia family, she couldn't help feeling angry.
However, among the few people who came, especially Tanchun, it was difficult for Zijuan to show his anger.When Daiyu was in danger, she was able to visit the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. This kind of favor cannot be forgotten, and no matter how angry she was, she could hold it back.
Zicuckoo looked at Daiyu, and saw that Daiyu was calm, and she didn't seem to want to go at all.Thinking of the old days in Jia's mansion, I couldn't help showing off: "Grandma and girls came by such a coincidence, our girls got good tea, and we haven't had time to eat it yet, do you want to try it?"
Tanchun is a concubine who used to be under the eaves and had to bend over.At any rate, she is now the quasi-prince concubine in the prince's mansion, her status has improved, and her confidence has also grown.She didn't want to go to Wang Ziteng's house to join in the fun, but she just wanted to save face and couldn't refuse.
Hearing Zicuckoo's words is exactly what she wants.So he said with a smile: "Good girl, make your girl's good tea quickly."
Daiyu squinted at Zicuckoo, and said coquettishly, "When did you pawn all my family?"
Zicuckoo stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously.
Xifeng patted Daiyu's shoulder and said, "Didn't you pet Zijuan girl? What do you mean by saying that now?"
Xichun stomped her feet and urged: "Zicuckoo, don't you hurry up and pour some tea? In this cold weather, listening to an opera is not as satisfying as eating good tea at Sister Lin's. Sister Feng, I won't go to the opera anymore."
Wang Xifeng's pretty face turned red when she heard this, and said anxiously: "This is not going to happen, my wife asked me to come back to pick you up in person, and ordered me to pick up Sister Lin too, if none of you go, it doesn't mean that Cut my face with a knife?"
She put her arms around Daiyu and begged with a smile: "Good sister, as long as you talk about it, my sister's face will be enough."
Tanchun looked at Sister Feng, pointed at her with his index finger and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, no wonder the old lady calls her a rogue and settle down all day long. Look at her rascally appearance, who can pester her?"
"Her, the wicked are only tortured by the wicked." Baochai glanced at Daiyu with a smile, as if she was talking casually.The man stood there, fondling the green jade cabbage fondly.
Sister Feng was so anxious that her face was sweating, she forced a smile and said: "We are here to pick up Sister Lin to go to the theater together, but even you are so weak that you don't want to go to the theater anymore. Doesn't this make me too embarrassing in front of my mother's family?" Is it? Good sister, I have never treated you badly, so please don’t embarrass me. Sister Lin, please say something.” She looked at Daiyu expectantly, and spoke pitifully.
Daiyu is a kind girl, and she knows that Xifeng is now a mouse in the bellows, and she is not pleasing to both sides.He laughed and said, "Look at her, she's so pitiful, so don't embarrass her."
I don't know when Xiugu came in, she heard Daiyu's words, she panicked and said with a smile: "Girl, you just caught a cold two days ago, the doctor told you not to catch a cold again, if you have a serious cold, you can go back to the cold again." will suffer a great crime.”
Tanchun asked with concern: "Sister Lin's room is so warm, how could she catch cold?"
"Two days ago, a thief came at night." Daiyu said lightly, holding up the tea bowl nonchalantly, her eyes fell on Baochai intentionally or unintentionally.
Xichun exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my god, why are you a thief again! Did you steal something?"
Xueyan giggled and said, "Although our Jade Garden is not fortified with iron walls, it is difficult for a thief to escape when he comes in. The thief just jumped off the wall and was caught. Before dawn, Ah Shan asked the boy to send the thief to the government. .”
After hearing this, Xichun put her little hand on her chest and kept chanting: "Amitabha! Amitabha!"
Baochai opened her mouth slightly, stared at Zijuan in a daze, without saying a word.
Wang Xifeng put her arms around Daiyu and said with a smile: "I said a long time ago that my younger sister is a rich and powerful person. No matter what kind of disaster there is, she will be blessed by the gods and nothing will happen. How is it? Am I right?"
Xichun took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "Who is Sister Feng? She is the most resourceful person in our Jia family."
She didn't wait for Xifeng to answer, and immediately said: "Sister Lin was frightened, and she caught a cold again. The doctor told her to rest at home, so I will talk to Sister Lin, you go to the theater."
Tanchun also smiled and said: "I think of an embroidery screen that Zijuan embroidered. I like that pattern very much. I won't go to the opera anymore. I will talk with sister Lin, and let the servant follow Zijuan to trace the pattern."
Baochai quietly put down the antique, and went to touch the decoration again, feeling that everything in Daiyu's room was very valuable, and it was hard to find it in the market.Her eyes were burning and her heart was itching.After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out how Daiyu had so many exquisite and expensive things.
With a forced smile on her face, she asked: "Sister Lin, how does your house look like a girl's house? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the house of a prince or minister."
Daiyu smiled faintly, and didn't answer her words.
Xichun asked, "Sister Bao, how many houses of princes and ministers have you seen?"
Baochai's face turned red, and she was very annoyed.
Xichun clearly looked down on her being the daughter of a businessman, mocking her for not seeing much in the world.
Baochai was very dissatisfied, and said: "Although your Jia's mansion is a state duke's mansion, it's just a slave in clothes, so it's not much more noble than the head of the Huangshang family!"
She smiled coldly and said: "Although I haven't seen many houses of princes and ministers, most of the palace supplies are handled by our family, and I have seen a lot of good things. Our ancestors also loved reading, and the study room at home is also very important." It has made many dignitaries envy."
Xichun didn't like it, she didn't give in at all, and asked instead: "Sister Bao's family is so rich, why did she come to the capital and live in our mansion for many years?"
Tanchun saw that the two of them were talking more and more harshly, and was afraid of hurting their friendship. After all, Baochai was his sister-in-law.
With a busy smile, he rounded things up and said, "I don't know the fourth sister. Sister Bao's family has a lot of business in the capital. They moved their family to the capital so that they can take care of it nearby. Besides, Aunt Xue is getting old and lives near his wife. The sisters are easy to talk to." , This is also because of their sisterly love, how can you live in the same garden with me as a girl like you, and you don't often visit me, you are cold-faced and cold-hearted."
Tanchun joked about Luo Xichun, and Baochai's expression gradually calmed down.
In the end, Xichun and Tanchun couldn't stand Xifeng Baochai's entanglement, and left Yuyuan reluctantly.
Daiyu lay on the embroidered couch, closing the book in her hand to her face.Zijuan knew that she was unhappy, so she persuaded softly: "Young lady lives at home, don't think about those troubles anymore, just take good care of yourself."
Seeing that Daiyu was motionless, she hugged the quilt and gently covered Daiyu.
Daiyu pushed the quilt on her body and muttered, "I haven't fallen asleep again."
"Recover the quilt after you fall asleep, and you will freeze," Zijuan smiled softly and put the quilt back on, and tucked the corners of the quilt in again.
Daiyu lifted the quilt, sat up straight and looked at Zijuan and asked, "Do you think the Jia family will plot against us in Yuyuan?"
Zijuan stared blankly at Daiyu, nodded affirmatively, and Xueyan, who came in to pack the tea set, couldn't help but angrily said: "Why not? They can dream."
Zijuan whispered melancholy: "It's impossible for them to ignore the plan, and you don't have to worry about it. Could it be that they can still disregard the king's law and blatantly come to grab it?"
"Yes, yes, sister Zijuan is right." Seeing that Daiyu was worried, Xueyan hurriedly followed Zijuan to comfort Daiyu.
Daiyu frowned, and said quietly: "I have been in Jia's house for the past few years. When my father was here, he gave Jia's house 2000 taels of silver every year in addition to gifts. After my father left, all the property of my Lin family went into Jia's house. Even The ancestral house of my Lin family was sold by Jia's house and put into their pockets. Just like that, they also said that I lived for free. Yuyuan is in the capital, and it is very close to Jia's house. Alas! I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid of thieves thinking about it .”
"Let's let the wind and waves rise with them, the girl sits on the fishing boat and just ignores them." Xueyan thought this idea was very good, and couldn't help laughing.
"You're right, but you've forgotten the nature of the people in Jia's mansion. Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about it right now. The third girl is out of the cabinet. Can our girl go? The old lady sent someone to pick her up. What about the next time?" Zicuckoo asked eagerly.
Xueyan couldn't answer, scratched her scalp, pouted and said: "If you don't go, can you tie our girl away?"
"Our girl is a lady from a scholarly family. If it is really like what you said, wouldn't she be accused of being unkind and unrighteous? At that time, the people of Jia's family will show their elder status and suppress Considering your seniority, if you want to take a girl to Jia's mansion to be taught, how can I learn the rules?" Zijuan asked Xueyan, who was stunned for a while, so she had to turn her eyes to look at Daiyu.
Daiyu sat there full of thoughts, staring blankly out of the window, as if she didn't hear their conversation at all.
Xueyan said anxiously: "Girl, what do you think should be done?"
"There are only a few stitches left to finish the 'Hundred Sons in Spring'. Tomorrow I will ask Ah Shan to mount it, and then let someone match it with a good frame." Daiyu ordered Zijuan unreasonably, and Xueyan said unwillingly: "It's really not in a hurry to drink, but a beggar in a hurry."
Xiugu came in and asked with a smile, "Who made us Xueyan anxious?"
Xueyan murmured, pulled Xiugu aside, muttered again, opened her eyes wide and asked, "Xiugu, do you think you're not in a hurry?"
Xiugu fiddled with the pigeons in her hand, and said with a smile: "Jade Garden is the property left to the girl by our master. According to the thief, there are some things that the girl needs to be careful about. When necessary, the girl doesn’t have to worry about affection, just like today, don’t agree to what you should not agree to.”
She saw Daiyu nodded slightly, and knew that she had listened.
Then she said again: "These pigeons were sent by Baozhu for the girl to play with." Seeing the light of love in Aunt Xiu's eyes, Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "This little thing is very cute, but the azalea and snow geese have never seen it." I have fed pigeons before, I am afraid that the two of them will wrong them, so Aunt Xiu should feed them herself."
Xiu Gu happily agreed: "Miss, please don't worry, the slaves will definitely live up to their mission, and I will definitely raise them well."
In order to plot against Daiyu, Mrs. Wang lost her wife and broke the army. Before Mr. Wang died, there were not many soldiers left for her. Before his elder brother Wang Ziteng went to other places to be an official, he called her to the study to say After a pause, it can be regarded as a warning to her.
Ever since she was a child, she has admired her most and feared her brother Wang Ziteng the most. She is Wang Ziteng's good sister and has always obeyed Wang Ziteng.
Now, she lost a soldier and lost a general, but Daiyu was unscathed.In desperation, she had no choice but to hide her strength and bide her time, waiting for the opportunity, and Daiyu also found peace.
Tanchun is leaving the court.
Although everyone knows that the person who is arrogant and ambitious, Tanchun is going to marry is an idiot.But Chi'er's extraordinary family background and status as the eldest son, relatives and friends still flocked to join him.
What everyone values most is the noble family background of Tanchun's marriage. They know that she is the authentic imperial concubine after passing through the family, and can be regarded as the real royal family.
Misfortunes and blessings depend on it. It is precisely because Tanchun married an idiot that Tanchun will be valued and have a place in the Prince's Mansion.What's more, that idiot is handsome and talented, and his intelligence is only as high as that of five or six-year-old children. The most rare thing is that he has a special affinity with Tanchun.
In the future, with Tanchun's intelligence, he will definitely control that idiot firmly.
The prince and his wife only have such a son, who loves the house and loves Wu, and he will use his toes to think about the days of exploring spring, and he will not be far behind.
Ten days in advance, Mother Jia sent someone to pick up Daiyu, but Aunt Xiu made excuses to shirk it.
Until the morning of the day before Tanchun left the pavilion, Dai Yunian, for the sake of sisterhood, brought Zijuan Xueyan to Jia's mansion in her own sedan chair, and happened to meet the sedan chair of Princess Beijing, and the two sedan chairs were at the same time. Arrive at the gate of Jia's mansion.
Daiyu's sedan chair was about to follow Princess Beijing into the gate of Jia's mansion, but was stopped by the gatekeepers of Jia's mansion: "Miss Lin, please enter the mansion through the west corner gate, this gate is only for people of class."
Sitting in the sedan chair, Daiyu was embarrassed for a while.
Don't go in, I'm here for Tanchun, go in, Jia's mansion is too low-minded.
When Daiyu was in a dilemma, Princess Beijing ordered her bearer to stop.
Because from the curtain of the sedan chair, she found a very familiar figure next to the sedan chair next to it. It seemed to be Xiugu, the personal maid of the former empress.
Princess Beijing looked closely, and the figure flashed behind the sedan chair and disappeared.
She laughed secretly in her heart: Maybe she was delusional. The former queen died before seeing her son on the great treasure. He disappeared a few days after his death.
Princess Beijing's maid was very vigilant, and when she saw that Princess Beijing was immersed, she went over to find out what happened around her, and quietly explained the reason to Princess Beijing.
Princess Beijing nodded and said: "Miss Lin is the daughter of the former inspector of salt, with a noble status and a close relative of the Jia family, so she should enter the mansion through the gate."
The mother-in-law of Jia's mansion bowed her knees when she heard this, and explained with a smile: "Princess Lin, Miss Lin has been in our mansion since she was a child, and she was raised by our mansion, so naturally she cannot be judged by relatives."
Princess Bei Jing stared blankly at the people who came to greet the Jia family, and asked with a smile: "Miss Lin is not considered a relative in your family? Then who is in your family?"
The lady of Jia's mansion sneered and quibbled: "Miss Lin said she was a cousin in our house, but our old ladies and wives always regard her as their own girl. Miss Lin has been in our house for many years, and she takes more medicine than food. There are more, and the body is weaker than ordinary girls. The main gate of Jia's mansion is full of people with status and rank. The master told Miss Lin to have no rank and only enter the mansion through the side door. Good for Miss Lin."
Sitting in the sedan chair, Daiyu was so angry that her hands and feet were cold. In the past, she heard people say that when Xue's family came to Jia's mansion, the front door of Jia's mansion was opened wide to welcome them in, but she entered and exited Jia's mansion twice through the side door.At that time, I was young, but I just felt that something was wrong, and I didn't quite understand what was wrong.
After returning to Yuyuan, I realized after listening to Xiu Gu's explanation that people with low status can't go through the main door, but only through the side door.For example, getting married, marrying a regular wife means entering the husband's house through the front door, which means dignified and dignified.If you marry a side wife, you can enter your husband's house through the side door, and if you marry a concubine, you can only enter your husband's house through the back door.
Jia's mansion is too deceitful!
Daiyu told Xueyan to take out the gift for Tanchun, hand it to the gatekeeper of Jia's house, and then go back to Yuyuan.
Xiugu opened the sedan chair curtain, put the piece of black jade that Shuijing gave to Daiyu on her chest, and said with a low laugh: "Since the girl has arrived at the door, if she doesn't go in, won't she be laughed at?"
With tears in her eyes, Daiyu said: "They are so stupid! In the past, I didn't know. Now that I know, I can't lose the Lin family style."
Xiu Gu smiled and comforted her, "I'll go over and see how brave they are."
As she said that, Xiugu walked up to the people of Jia's mansion with light steps, and said with a smile: "I am Miss Gusu Lin's housekeeper, and I accompanied our girl to Jia's mansion today, why are you not allowed to enter the mansion?"
The lady of Jia's mansion smiled and said, "Does this elder sister have eyes? This is the main entrance of Jia's mansion. Miss Lin has no rank or rank, so she has to enter through the side door."
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, and five distinct finger prints were printed on half of the face of the talking mother-in-law of Jia's mansion.
It has been many years since she beat someone like this, and the basic skills that Xiu Gu has trained for many years are still there.
I saw her laughing and talking, her arms were lightly raised, and a slap fell steadily and hard, and the other party's face would be imprinted with a distinctive Wuzhishan.
Jia's mother-in-law covers
Wang Xifeng saw Mrs. Wang's face was ugly, so she pointed out something and went out.
Li Wan also excused Jia Lan's affairs and walked out.
Tanchun Xichun didn't dare to leave, so she had to sit silently with her.
Mrs. Xing was very happy, talking and laughing with Jia's mother in a pleasant manner.
Mrs. Wang was restless. Seeing Baochai sitting there upright, looking at her nose and heart, she didn't know what she was thinking.
Can't help getting up and laughing together: "Old lady, if it's okay, my wife will go back and prepare to pick up the eldest girl tomorrow."
"Well, I'm tired too, you guys go away, the second wife stays for a while." Mother Jia ordered.
Mrs. Wang thought proudly: Hmph, I thought you really didn't care!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were the only ones left in the room. Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang and whispered solemnly: "I didn't want to say it, but I can't say it. But I'm afraid you will do something stupid again and hurt yourself." Not to mention, I'm afraid you will implicate the empress in the palace and our entire Jia family."
Mrs. Wang heard Jia Mu's tone so serious, looked up at Jia Mu's well-maintained old face in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Why did the old lady say that?"
"Do you remember the people who came to the palace last time?" Mrs. Wang nodded lightly when she heard what Jiamu said, "I remember, I asked if it was about my concubine, you and the master have not told the daughter-in-law until now. "
Jia Mu nodded and said: "Actually, that father-in-law came to deliver a secret decree for the emperor. It has nothing to do with our mother, but has something to do with Lin girl. The emperor not only remembers Lin Hai, but also cares about Yu'er. He issued a secret decree for me and Your master, you want us not to wrong Yu'er in everything. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Wang's complexion was pale, she felt weak all over, she forced herself to nod and replied: "My wife knows."
Jia Mu looked at the second daughter-in-law, knowing that she didn't really understand, and continued: "You are the biological mother of the imperial concubine and empress, you must know the truth that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and you must think of your empress in everything you say and do. A small loss is a big loss. If Yu'er had acted according to my wishes, there would be no troubles today."
"The daughter-in-law didn't expect the emperor to miss the old minister so much. Baoyu's marriage was originally intended to be according to the old lady's wishes. It's just the mother's words, and the daughter-in-law is not easy to refute." Mrs. Wang whispered cowardly, and pushed it all to Jia Yuanchun. body.
She glanced at Jia Mu secretly from the corner of her eyes, secretly proud of herself, and said: "Aren't you amazing?"In front of my daughter, what else can you do?
"Oh! It's over in the past. I'm telling you this secret today so that you know what's going on. You should know how powerful it is. I won't say anything else." Mother Jia sat there wearily, with her hands in her hands. Pressing her temples, rubbing them gently, she stopped talking.
"The daughter-in-law won't pick up the eldest girl tomorrow, let's talk about it when the third girl comes out of the cabinet." Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu and asked hesitantly.
Mother Jia waved her hand feebly and said, "It's up to you."
Mrs. Wang left Jiamu's room and returned to Rongxi Hall listlessly, where she saw Baochai sitting there waiting for her to come back and speak.
Baochai saw that she was like an eggplant beaten by frost, without any energy.
He walked over and stretched out two tender little hands, gently squeezed her back, and told in detail what he saw and heard in Yuyuan in a soft voice.
Baochai's narration revived Mrs. Wang's desire that had just been extinguished by Jia's mother.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law murmured about the value of Yuyuan, and the more they calculated, the more itchy they became.
Seeing the sparkle in Mrs. Wang's eyes, Baochai couldn't help smiling triumphantly.
One day, after Mrs. Wang came to pay her respects to Mother Jia, before serving breakfast, she hurriedly said: "Yesterday, the emperor let my elder brother take a foreign post, and he will leave within three days. My sister-in-law wants me to go back and meet."
Mother Jia was startled when she heard this, and she didn't feel very good, so she hurriedly asked, "Why is this matter so urgent? I haven't heard your master mention it before?"
"The daughter-in-law only found out about it last night, and I haven't had time to tell the master." Mrs. Wang was anxious, and hurriedly added: "Last night, my sister-in-law sent someone, and didn't say anything, as long as I go back early to meet. I My brother is in charge of the capital of nine provinces, and he returned to the capital to report on his duties after he was ordered to investigate the border. Even if he is going to be released again, it will take some time as usual, why is it so urgent this time?"
After hearing this, Mother Jia wondered to herself whether the emperor was so eager to ask the prince to vacate his post outside Beijing, whether it was for reuse or something else.
You must know that Wang Ziteng is a powerful figure with military power in the capital, and an important minister who protects the safety of the capital, so speaking in the court is very important.
Wang Ziteng's departure from the capital is not only inconvenient for the people of the Jia family to find someone to do business in the capital, but also the empresses in the palace may be affected to some extent. This is not a trivial matter, why there was no news in advance?
Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang with unfathomable eyes, and said worriedly: "You go, and I will ask your master to come and have a look."
After Mrs. Wang left, Sister Feng came over in a hurry, and happily told Mother Jia that her uncle Wang Ziteng had been promoted to another level and was honored as the procurator of the nine provinces.
After hearing this, Mother Jia felt relieved, and smiled happily: "Your aunt has gone back, you pack up and go with Lian'er to congratulate your uncle."
Sister Feng happily agreed to go.
Wangfu, Wang Ziteng was promoted to an official position, the gate of the Wangfu was deserted, and there was no joyful scene.
Mrs. Wang came to the gate of the palace in a sedan chair, and saw that her brother's house was no different from the past.I thought to myself that when Yuan Chun became a noble concubine, the gate of Jia's mansion was full of people coming and going at this time, congratulators were constantly coming and going, and the sky was full of laughter.
My elder brother has been promoted, so it should be the time when congratulatory guests keep coming, why is he so cold?
She was full of doubts, walked into the second door, and the sister-in-law had already greeted her, pulled her and said with a smile: "Your brother guessed that you should be here, it really is brother and sister, go quickly, your brother is waiting in the study."
Mrs. Wang walked into Wang Ziteng's study and saw her elder brother's face was haggard, his eye sockets were gray and bloodshot, obviously he didn't sleep well at night.
She was about to salute and congratulate, when Wang Ziteng pointed to the chair next to him, without a smile on his face, he said in a low voice, "Sit down."
The girl brought tea, and stepped back gently.
Only then did Wang Ziteng face Mrs. Wang, with a hoarse voice, and said, "Two days ago, the Ministry of Criminal Justice imprisoned a prisoner with a tiger's head print on his left chest. I heard that this person entered Yuyuan in Sahua Hutong in the middle of the night and was arrested. After being bitten by a dog, he was caught and sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Sister, what's going on here?"
Mrs. Wang lowered her head and thought for a while, gritted her teeth, shook her head vigorously, and said in a low voice, "What's going on? My sister doesn't know either."
Wang Ziteng straight-faced, straight to the point: "Sister, I know that before my father passed away, I gave you six dead soldiers of the royal family. The tattoo on the left chest of this criminal from the Ministry of Punishment is the symbol of our dead soldiers from the royal family. I heard that this criminal and Shangyuan Like the criminals who robbed the nieces of the Jia family on the festival day, they all had tiger head prints on their left breasts. This matter may have attracted the attention of the court. This time I released it very suddenly. It is also much less, it is very likely that our dead soldiers of the Wang family leaked the secret."
Mrs. Wang suddenly sat upright, looked up at Wang Ziteng, stared at the dead fish eyes in horror, and whispered: "No way? If the secret is really leaked, how can the emperor promote brother?"
"I think the ancestors of our Wang family earned this little glory with real swords and guns. In my father's life, they no longer had hereditary titles. It was me who studied hard and embarked on an official career that kept our Wang family's current glory and wealth. Sister, Even if you don't think about our royal family, you have to think about the noble concubines in the palace. Those dead men were left to you by your father to cherish you, just in case. Good steel should be used wisely, if it is to keep the noble concubine Anwei, not only will I not say anything, but I will do my best to support you. For the sake of an orphan left by Lin Hai, I used our dead soldiers from the Wang family, and even made a chicken-and-egg fight, really..."
When Wang Ziteng said this, he was so angry that he stopped his feet hard, as if he wanted to vent all his anger, looked up at Mrs. Wang's ugly bitter face, and finally swallowed it forcefully, sighed, and went on Said: "Fortunately, I heard that the dead man from the Ministry of Punishment committed suicide by biting his tongue. Sister, you must think twice before doing anything in the future."
Mrs. Wang lowered her head again.
In Jia Shi Wang Xue's four families, apart from Jia's concubine, who has the highest official position and the most powerful is Wang Ziteng.
Her backer, her glory, besides Yuan Chun, is her elder brother Wang Ziteng.
Without this elder brother, not only myself, but also the empresses in the palace would have nothing to rely on.
Since she was a child, she admired this brother and was even more afraid of him.
Now, even though she did not admit to the matter of the dead man, this elder brother told the truth straight to the point, and mercilessly asked her to think twice before doing anything.
She nodded involuntarily and replied, "I will obey my brother in everything."
When Wang Xifeng returned to the palace, he saw Mrs. Wang sitting there talking to her aunt with a dull expression on her face. After she stepped forward to salute, she said, "I heard that my uncle is leaving tomorrow. It should also be lively, Second Master Lian said that he knows a troupe with good singing and writing, and has invited them over."
Mrs. Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "Because your uncle left in a hurry, we didn't plan to have a lot of fun. Since the two of you have the heart to send the troupe over, after the noon banquet, let them sing here twice. Our family guests Not many, why not bring the girls from the Jia family over, and let's have fun together."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "I knew that my aunt loved my younger sisters, so I will send someone to pick them up right away."
"By the way, you can take your sister Lin over." Mrs. Wang looked at Sister Feng and added earnestly.
That day, after Daiyu celebrated her birthday, in the early morning of the next day, people were sleeping soundly, and the wolf dogs in Yuyuan barked together.
Ah Shan led his men to the corner of Yuyuan, and arrested a man with a tiger's head print on his left chest.
That man might have been scared out of his wits by the wolfdogs, or more likely because he was drugged by Ah Shan. People didn't ask him, so he told the truth to Ah Shan in a daze.
He said that he was the dead man given to Mrs. Wang in Jia's mansion by the dead old man of the Wang family, and he came to assassinate Lin Daiyu last night under the secret order of Mrs. Wang.I heard people say that Lin Daiyu was beautiful and beautiful like a fairy. Originally, she wanted to sneak into the Jade Garden in the early morning when people were sleeping soundly, rape and then kill.Unexpectedly, Yuyuan's dogs were so powerful. As soon as he landed on the ground, he was surrounded by several dogs that rushed over.
He wanted to jump out with Shi Qinggong, but just as he was about to move, two dogs jumped up and bit his ankles, and the other two jumped up and bit his wrists.
His sword and hidden weapon were useless, so he lay on the ground in a daze, waiting to be captured.
Hearing this, Ah Shan was so enraged that he was about to explode, wishing to smash him to pieces immediately.He blinked his strange eyes, one big and one small, and finally decided to save his life.
On the one hand, Ashan sent a servant to send the dead man to the Yamen, on the other hand, he went to the address left by Baozhu himself, and asked someone to tell Baozhu Yuyuan what happened.
As soon as the sky turned white, Baozhu hurried to Laiyuyuan and told Ah Shan that the fourth master had already known what happened in Yuyuan in the early morning, and was extremely angry. He said that he must investigate to the end and never let a bad person go.
Baozhu suggested that Ah Shan must keep his mouth shut and not tell this matter, so that Daiyu would not be frightened when he found out.
In fact, in the early hours of the morning, the barking of dogs on the Yuyuan wall had already alarmed Zhilantang's chasing wind and moon, and also awakened Daiyu.
She heard chasing the wind and chasing the moon barking wildly, and she knew that there must be thieves in Yuyuan.
She sat up quietly, and silently put on the self-defense ring that Ah Shan gave her.
In the dark, I found that Zijuan Xueyan had already put on her clothes and was guarding her bedside in full battle.
Regardless of the persuasion of Zijuan and Xueyan, Daiyu put on her clothes, supported Zijuan, Xueyan led the way, followed by chasing the wind and moon, and quietly came to the scene of the incident.
In the early morning, it is the darkness before dawn, the coldest time of the day.
Gusts of cold wind brought the extremely shameless and heartbreaking words of the deceased members of the Wang family, and Daiyu felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
Zijuan Xueyan hurriedly supported Daiyu, who was pale and on the verge of falling, and persuaded her: "Young lady is a rich and powerful person, how could that villainous screwdriver harm her! See, the assassin was caught by Ah Shan Is it? It's too cold outside, girl, let's go back to the house."
The three of them brought Chasing Wind and Chasing Moon into Zhilan Hall when Xiu Gu came in with a steaming bowl of ginger tea and said with a smile, "I made a bowl of ginger tea for the girl, and drank it while it was hot to warm her body."
Daiyu took a sip and said to Zijuan and Xueyan, "You two also drink a bowl, so as not to catch cold and get sick."
Zijuan Xueyan stood there pursing her lips and said with a smile: "As long as the girl is good, everything will be fine."
Xiu Gu smiled and said: "The girl is delicate, and you two are not made of iron. I have boiled a lot of ginger tea, you two are going to drink it while it is hot, do you still want me to bring it for you?"
Zijuan Xueyan smiled happily and said, "If you dare to work for Auntie there, we will go by ourselves."
Xiugu waited for Daiyu to finish drinking the ginger tea, and said with a concerned smile: "It's still a while before dawn, miss, why don't you go to bed and sweat for a while."
Daiyu obeyed, lying on the bed very obediently, with her eyes closed, scenes of things she didn't want to think about flashed through her mind.
When I first entered Jia's mansion, my father Lin Hai was at the peak of his career. The old lady wanted to marry Baoyu and herself so that I could eat and live with Baoyu. Everyone in Jia's mansion, especially Wang Xifeng , I often joked to myself: "Our mansion is your home, and you will be the daughter-in-law of our mansion in the future. Don't treat yourself as a foreigner."
After a long time, I also vaguely thought that Jia's mansion was my home, and Baoyu was my future lover.
Later, the Xue family came to the capital from Jinling and lived in Jia's mansion. Baochai dangled around with a shining golden lock all day long.Later, when my father passed away, when I was still young, I thought that the people of Jia's family were my flesh and blood relatives, and I would be the daughter-in-law of Jia's family in the future, and never asked about my family's property.In fact, even asking questions is tantamount to asking in vain.The property accumulated by the Lin family for several lifetimes disappeared inexplicably, and even the ancestral house of the Lin family was sold by the Jia family, but he himself did not see any money.
The cost of food and clothing is just the same as that of the girls in Jia's mansion, with a monthly payment of two taels of silver.
Immediately after Jia's mansion spread rumors of a happy marriage, even the maids in Yihongyuan treated Baochai as their future master and fawned on her.
At that time, Baoyu seemed to be infatuated with herself.In fact, I know very well that Baoyu's heart has changed a lot.For example, not only does he look at Baochai differently, but also has an ambiguous relationship with the maids around him, and Xiren is spoiled by him so lawlessly that he is simply a bully in Yihongyuan.
She is a lonely and helpless orphan girl, and she and Baoyu are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.I hope that he can cherish his pure and flawless feelings, and hope that the old lady is his own grandmother, who will definitely make decisions for himself, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and have a proper home.
However, in the face of interests, Jia's family ties are as thin as paper, and Baoyu's feelings are even more vulnerable.
Not only did Jia's family completely abandon him, but his aunt and aunt even sent assassins to humiliate and kill him in order to get his own Yuyuan.
Daiyu lay on the bed, the past was like smoke, vivid in her mind, thinking about it, she was sad, and she was very glad that she did not become the daughter-in-law of Jia's family.
Once figured out, everything suddenly became clear.
Daiyu secretly vowed in her heart: she will never be entangled in emotional matters again.
Suddenly, Daiyu remembered Shui Jing's words: "If Jia's house is ransacked, will you sympathize with them and intercede for them?"
She clenched her fists tightly and said: If I really have such ability, for the sake of mother, I will not add insult to injury, but I will never sympathize, let alone help.Otherwise, wouldn't my daughter of the Lin family become a muddled person who doesn't know right from wrong and who doesn't understand her grievances?
Under the urging of Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and came to Yuyuan again with Baochai Tanchun and others.
She had a smile on her face, and when she saw Daiyu, she approached Daiyu and smiled affectionately: "Sister Lin, my uncle has been promoted to the nine provincial capital inspectors, and he will go to his post tomorrow. Today, my family invited the best opera in Beijing." The troupe is singing opera, my aunt and wife love my younger sister and want us to pick her up to listen to the opera and relax."
Baochai turned against the guests, and greeted Zijuan with a smile: "Why don't you dress up your girl soon?"
When Zicuckoo saw that it was the Jia family, she couldn't help feeling angry.
However, among the few people who came, especially Tanchun, it was difficult for Zijuan to show his anger.When Daiyu was in danger, she was able to visit the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. This kind of favor cannot be forgotten, and no matter how angry she was, she could hold it back.
Zicuckoo looked at Daiyu, and saw that Daiyu was calm, and she didn't seem to want to go at all.Thinking of the old days in Jia's mansion, I couldn't help showing off: "Grandma and girls came by such a coincidence, our girls got good tea, and we haven't had time to eat it yet, do you want to try it?"
Tanchun is a concubine who used to be under the eaves and had to bend over.At any rate, she is now the quasi-prince concubine in the prince's mansion, her status has improved, and her confidence has also grown.She didn't want to go to Wang Ziteng's house to join in the fun, but she just wanted to save face and couldn't refuse.
Hearing Zicuckoo's words is exactly what she wants.So he said with a smile: "Good girl, make your girl's good tea quickly."
Daiyu squinted at Zicuckoo, and said coquettishly, "When did you pawn all my family?"
Zicuckoo stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously.
Xifeng patted Daiyu's shoulder and said, "Didn't you pet Zijuan girl? What do you mean by saying that now?"
Xichun stomped her feet and urged: "Zicuckoo, don't you hurry up and pour some tea? In this cold weather, listening to an opera is not as satisfying as eating good tea at Sister Lin's. Sister Feng, I won't go to the opera anymore."
Wang Xifeng's pretty face turned red when she heard this, and said anxiously: "This is not going to happen, my wife asked me to come back to pick you up in person, and ordered me to pick up Sister Lin too, if none of you go, it doesn't mean that Cut my face with a knife?"
She put her arms around Daiyu and begged with a smile: "Good sister, as long as you talk about it, my sister's face will be enough."
Tanchun looked at Sister Feng, pointed at her with his index finger and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, no wonder the old lady calls her a rogue and settle down all day long. Look at her rascally appearance, who can pester her?"
"Her, the wicked are only tortured by the wicked." Baochai glanced at Daiyu with a smile, as if she was talking casually.The man stood there, fondling the green jade cabbage fondly.
Sister Feng was so anxious that her face was sweating, she forced a smile and said: "We are here to pick up Sister Lin to go to the theater together, but even you are so weak that you don't want to go to the theater anymore. Doesn't this make me too embarrassing in front of my mother's family?" Is it? Good sister, I have never treated you badly, so please don’t embarrass me. Sister Lin, please say something.” She looked at Daiyu expectantly, and spoke pitifully.
Daiyu is a kind girl, and she knows that Xifeng is now a mouse in the bellows, and she is not pleasing to both sides.He laughed and said, "Look at her, she's so pitiful, so don't embarrass her."
I don't know when Xiugu came in, she heard Daiyu's words, she panicked and said with a smile: "Girl, you just caught a cold two days ago, the doctor told you not to catch a cold again, if you have a serious cold, you can go back to the cold again." will suffer a great crime.”
Tanchun asked with concern: "Sister Lin's room is so warm, how could she catch cold?"
"Two days ago, a thief came at night." Daiyu said lightly, holding up the tea bowl nonchalantly, her eyes fell on Baochai intentionally or unintentionally.
Xichun exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my god, why are you a thief again! Did you steal something?"
Xueyan giggled and said, "Although our Jade Garden is not fortified with iron walls, it is difficult for a thief to escape when he comes in. The thief just jumped off the wall and was caught. Before dawn, Ah Shan asked the boy to send the thief to the government. .”
After hearing this, Xichun put her little hand on her chest and kept chanting: "Amitabha! Amitabha!"
Baochai opened her mouth slightly, stared at Zijuan in a daze, without saying a word.
Wang Xifeng put her arms around Daiyu and said with a smile: "I said a long time ago that my younger sister is a rich and powerful person. No matter what kind of disaster there is, she will be blessed by the gods and nothing will happen. How is it? Am I right?"
Xichun took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "Who is Sister Feng? She is the most resourceful person in our Jia family."
She didn't wait for Xifeng to answer, and immediately said: "Sister Lin was frightened, and she caught a cold again. The doctor told her to rest at home, so I will talk to Sister Lin, you go to the theater."
Tanchun also smiled and said: "I think of an embroidery screen that Zijuan embroidered. I like that pattern very much. I won't go to the opera anymore. I will talk with sister Lin, and let the servant follow Zijuan to trace the pattern."
Baochai quietly put down the antique, and went to touch the decoration again, feeling that everything in Daiyu's room was very valuable, and it was hard to find it in the market.Her eyes were burning and her heart was itching.After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out how Daiyu had so many exquisite and expensive things.
With a forced smile on her face, she asked: "Sister Lin, how does your house look like a girl's house? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the house of a prince or minister."
Daiyu smiled faintly, and didn't answer her words.
Xichun asked, "Sister Bao, how many houses of princes and ministers have you seen?"
Baochai's face turned red, and she was very annoyed.
Xichun clearly looked down on her being the daughter of a businessman, mocking her for not seeing much in the world.
Baochai was very dissatisfied, and said: "Although your Jia's mansion is a state duke's mansion, it's just a slave in clothes, so it's not much more noble than the head of the Huangshang family!"
She smiled coldly and said: "Although I haven't seen many houses of princes and ministers, most of the palace supplies are handled by our family, and I have seen a lot of good things. Our ancestors also loved reading, and the study room at home is also very important." It has made many dignitaries envy."
Xichun didn't like it, she didn't give in at all, and asked instead: "Sister Bao's family is so rich, why did she come to the capital and live in our mansion for many years?"
Tanchun saw that the two of them were talking more and more harshly, and was afraid of hurting their friendship. After all, Baochai was his sister-in-law.
With a busy smile, he rounded things up and said, "I don't know the fourth sister. Sister Bao's family has a lot of business in the capital. They moved their family to the capital so that they can take care of it nearby. Besides, Aunt Xue is getting old and lives near his wife. The sisters are easy to talk to." , This is also because of their sisterly love, how can you live in the same garden with me as a girl like you, and you don't often visit me, you are cold-faced and cold-hearted."
Tanchun joked about Luo Xichun, and Baochai's expression gradually calmed down.
In the end, Xichun and Tanchun couldn't stand Xifeng Baochai's entanglement, and left Yuyuan reluctantly.
Daiyu lay on the embroidered couch, closing the book in her hand to her face.Zijuan knew that she was unhappy, so she persuaded softly: "Young lady lives at home, don't think about those troubles anymore, just take good care of yourself."
Seeing that Daiyu was motionless, she hugged the quilt and gently covered Daiyu.
Daiyu pushed the quilt on her body and muttered, "I haven't fallen asleep again."
"Recover the quilt after you fall asleep, and you will freeze," Zijuan smiled softly and put the quilt back on, and tucked the corners of the quilt in again.
Daiyu lifted the quilt, sat up straight and looked at Zijuan and asked, "Do you think the Jia family will plot against us in Yuyuan?"
Zijuan stared blankly at Daiyu, nodded affirmatively, and Xueyan, who came in to pack the tea set, couldn't help but angrily said: "Why not? They can dream."
Zijuan whispered melancholy: "It's impossible for them to ignore the plan, and you don't have to worry about it. Could it be that they can still disregard the king's law and blatantly come to grab it?"
"Yes, yes, sister Zijuan is right." Seeing that Daiyu was worried, Xueyan hurriedly followed Zijuan to comfort Daiyu.
Daiyu frowned, and said quietly: "I have been in Jia's house for the past few years. When my father was here, he gave Jia's house 2000 taels of silver every year in addition to gifts. After my father left, all the property of my Lin family went into Jia's house. Even The ancestral house of my Lin family was sold by Jia's house and put into their pockets. Just like that, they also said that I lived for free. Yuyuan is in the capital, and it is very close to Jia's house. Alas! I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid of thieves thinking about it .”
"Let's let the wind and waves rise with them, the girl sits on the fishing boat and just ignores them." Xueyan thought this idea was very good, and couldn't help laughing.
"You're right, but you've forgotten the nature of the people in Jia's mansion. Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about it right now. The third girl is out of the cabinet. Can our girl go? The old lady sent someone to pick her up. What about the next time?" Zicuckoo asked eagerly.
Xueyan couldn't answer, scratched her scalp, pouted and said: "If you don't go, can you tie our girl away?"
"Our girl is a lady from a scholarly family. If it is really like what you said, wouldn't she be accused of being unkind and unrighteous? At that time, the people of Jia's family will show their elder status and suppress Considering your seniority, if you want to take a girl to Jia's mansion to be taught, how can I learn the rules?" Zijuan asked Xueyan, who was stunned for a while, so she had to turn her eyes to look at Daiyu.
Daiyu sat there full of thoughts, staring blankly out of the window, as if she didn't hear their conversation at all.
Xueyan said anxiously: "Girl, what do you think should be done?"
"There are only a few stitches left to finish the 'Hundred Sons in Spring'. Tomorrow I will ask Ah Shan to mount it, and then let someone match it with a good frame." Daiyu ordered Zijuan unreasonably, and Xueyan said unwillingly: "It's really not in a hurry to drink, but a beggar in a hurry."
Xiugu came in and asked with a smile, "Who made us Xueyan anxious?"
Xueyan murmured, pulled Xiugu aside, muttered again, opened her eyes wide and asked, "Xiugu, do you think you're not in a hurry?"
Xiugu fiddled with the pigeons in her hand, and said with a smile: "Jade Garden is the property left to the girl by our master. According to the thief, there are some things that the girl needs to be careful about. When necessary, the girl doesn’t have to worry about affection, just like today, don’t agree to what you should not agree to.”
She saw Daiyu nodded slightly, and knew that she had listened.
Then she said again: "These pigeons were sent by Baozhu for the girl to play with." Seeing the light of love in Aunt Xiu's eyes, Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "This little thing is very cute, but the azalea and snow geese have never seen it." I have fed pigeons before, I am afraid that the two of them will wrong them, so Aunt Xiu should feed them herself."
Xiu Gu happily agreed: "Miss, please don't worry, the slaves will definitely live up to their mission, and I will definitely raise them well."
In order to plot against Daiyu, Mrs. Wang lost her wife and broke the army. Before Mr. Wang died, there were not many soldiers left for her. Before his elder brother Wang Ziteng went to other places to be an official, he called her to the study to say After a pause, it can be regarded as a warning to her.
Ever since she was a child, she has admired her most and feared her brother Wang Ziteng the most. She is Wang Ziteng's good sister and has always obeyed Wang Ziteng.
Now, she lost a soldier and lost a general, but Daiyu was unscathed.In desperation, she had no choice but to hide her strength and bide her time, waiting for the opportunity, and Daiyu also found peace.
Tanchun is leaving the court.
Although everyone knows that the person who is arrogant and ambitious, Tanchun is going to marry is an idiot.But Chi'er's extraordinary family background and status as the eldest son, relatives and friends still flocked to join him.
What everyone values most is the noble family background of Tanchun's marriage. They know that she is the authentic imperial concubine after passing through the family, and can be regarded as the real royal family.
Misfortunes and blessings depend on it. It is precisely because Tanchun married an idiot that Tanchun will be valued and have a place in the Prince's Mansion.What's more, that idiot is handsome and talented, and his intelligence is only as high as that of five or six-year-old children. The most rare thing is that he has a special affinity with Tanchun.
In the future, with Tanchun's intelligence, he will definitely control that idiot firmly.
The prince and his wife only have such a son, who loves the house and loves Wu, and he will use his toes to think about the days of exploring spring, and he will not be far behind.
Ten days in advance, Mother Jia sent someone to pick up Daiyu, but Aunt Xiu made excuses to shirk it.
Until the morning of the day before Tanchun left the pavilion, Dai Yunian, for the sake of sisterhood, brought Zijuan Xueyan to Jia's mansion in her own sedan chair, and happened to meet the sedan chair of Princess Beijing, and the two sedan chairs were at the same time. Arrive at the gate of Jia's mansion.
Daiyu's sedan chair was about to follow Princess Beijing into the gate of Jia's mansion, but was stopped by the gatekeepers of Jia's mansion: "Miss Lin, please enter the mansion through the west corner gate, this gate is only for people of class."
Sitting in the sedan chair, Daiyu was embarrassed for a while.
Don't go in, I'm here for Tanchun, go in, Jia's mansion is too low-minded.
When Daiyu was in a dilemma, Princess Beijing ordered her bearer to stop.
Because from the curtain of the sedan chair, she found a very familiar figure next to the sedan chair next to it. It seemed to be Xiugu, the personal maid of the former empress.
Princess Beijing looked closely, and the figure flashed behind the sedan chair and disappeared.
She laughed secretly in her heart: Maybe she was delusional. The former queen died before seeing her son on the great treasure. He disappeared a few days after his death.
Princess Beijing's maid was very vigilant, and when she saw that Princess Beijing was immersed, she went over to find out what happened around her, and quietly explained the reason to Princess Beijing.
Princess Beijing nodded and said: "Miss Lin is the daughter of the former inspector of salt, with a noble status and a close relative of the Jia family, so she should enter the mansion through the gate."
The mother-in-law of Jia's mansion bowed her knees when she heard this, and explained with a smile: "Princess Lin, Miss Lin has been in our mansion since she was a child, and she was raised by our mansion, so naturally she cannot be judged by relatives."
Princess Bei Jing stared blankly at the people who came to greet the Jia family, and asked with a smile: "Miss Lin is not considered a relative in your family? Then who is in your family?"
The lady of Jia's mansion sneered and quibbled: "Miss Lin said she was a cousin in our house, but our old ladies and wives always regard her as their own girl. Miss Lin has been in our house for many years, and she takes more medicine than food. There are more, and the body is weaker than ordinary girls. The main gate of Jia's mansion is full of people with status and rank. The master told Miss Lin to have no rank and only enter the mansion through the side door. Good for Miss Lin."
Sitting in the sedan chair, Daiyu was so angry that her hands and feet were cold. In the past, she heard people say that when Xue's family came to Jia's mansion, the front door of Jia's mansion was opened wide to welcome them in, but she entered and exited Jia's mansion twice through the side door.At that time, I was young, but I just felt that something was wrong, and I didn't quite understand what was wrong.
After returning to Yuyuan, I realized after listening to Xiu Gu's explanation that people with low status can't go through the main door, but only through the side door.For example, getting married, marrying a regular wife means entering the husband's house through the front door, which means dignified and dignified.If you marry a side wife, you can enter your husband's house through the side door, and if you marry a concubine, you can only enter your husband's house through the back door.
Jia's mansion is too deceitful!
Daiyu told Xueyan to take out the gift for Tanchun, hand it to the gatekeeper of Jia's house, and then go back to Yuyuan.
Xiugu opened the sedan chair curtain, put the piece of black jade that Shuijing gave to Daiyu on her chest, and said with a low laugh: "Since the girl has arrived at the door, if she doesn't go in, won't she be laughed at?"
With tears in her eyes, Daiyu said: "They are so stupid! In the past, I didn't know. Now that I know, I can't lose the Lin family style."
Xiu Gu smiled and comforted her, "I'll go over and see how brave they are."
As she said that, Xiugu walked up to the people of Jia's mansion with light steps, and said with a smile: "I am Miss Gusu Lin's housekeeper, and I accompanied our girl to Jia's mansion today, why are you not allowed to enter the mansion?"
The lady of Jia's mansion smiled and said, "Does this elder sister have eyes? This is the main entrance of Jia's mansion. Miss Lin has no rank or rank, so she has to enter through the side door."
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, and five distinct finger prints were printed on half of the face of the talking mother-in-law of Jia's mansion.
It has been many years since she beat someone like this, and the basic skills that Xiu Gu has trained for many years are still there.
I saw her laughing and talking, her arms were lightly raised, and a slap fell steadily and hard, and the other party's face would be imprinted with a distinctive Wuzhishan.
