[Zhonghonglou] After being reborn, Daiyu found that she had been tricked

Because of packing up, busy arranging manpower, preparing sedan horses and other matters, Lin's house has never had a good time even during the Lantern Festival.Both the chief house and the second house of the Rongguo Mansion gave gifts as congratulatory gifts, but Jia Min didn't see the person who came, but the gift from the long house was accepted, and the second house was sent back as it was.

That's right, she just vented her anger, and she didn't want to get involved with anyone or anything related to Wang.

Those people can do whatever they want to publicize it. They have endured for this reputation for so long, so it's better to put up with it, don't ask questions, and make it clear in their hearts. Outsiders, let them say what they say.She lived most of her life without seeing this truth, so she compromised time and time again, putting herself and the children in danger time and time again. After the last time Wang's murder of Chen Yu, she understood it.No natal family, no reliance, it's useless, all they care about is their own interests and face, how much weight can a married daughter have?

Anyway, the quarrel has reached the point of breaking up, so what face should they save.

Looking at the returned gift, Jia Zheng was angry and ashamed.Scholars have a good face, and Jia Zheng regards his face as precious as his life. He posted a warm face on it, but was beaten back mercilessly by his own sister. For a moment, he felt that he had been greatly insulted. He wanted to go to Lin's mansion to argue, but he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the Lin's mansion, which would make people laugh, so he had to endure it, but he couldn't help complaining that Jia Min and Lin Ruhai didn't know how to behave.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Jia Min arranged a small banquet for the whole family to enjoy the moon together.

Wu Jun was urged by Daiyu to go back to the other building next door for the festival, and Zhaoyu was able to join Daiyu without any scruples.Seeing that Daiyu was just sitting quietly, looking not very interested, he wanted to make her happy, so he said: "I got a very beautiful lantern, with a total of eight anises, piled up with high-quality palace gauze to form a budding lotus." The shape, the landscape flowers and birds embroidered on each petal are all a riddle, I have been thinking about it for a long time and asked several people for advice, and there is still one that I have not guessed, do you want to guess it?"

Daiyu raised her head and looked at him: "What kind of lantern is as good as you said? I'd like to see it, you can quickly take it out."

Zhaoyu got up to get it herself, and in about a cup of tea, she brought back a very delicate lantern.

Daiyu said: "The craftsmanship, materials, and embroidery look like they came out of the palace."

Zhaoyu put the lantern on the table in front of him, and said with a smile, "You guessed it right, it was sent by King Yan."

Daiyu smiled knowingly, and said: "So he gave it to you, no wonder it's so delicate. He also gave Brother Jun one, although it's also very delicate, it's a little worse than yours."

Zhaoyu said with a "huh" smile, "No way?"

Daiyu said: "I saw it with my own eyes, and there are still differences. I said that King Yan treats you the most kindly. You must believe it."

Zhaoyu walked up to Daiyu, waved his hands and said, "Don't talk about those irrelevant things, look at this riddle, can you guess it?" After speaking, she looked at Daiyu expectantly, as if she was very interested in her. confidence.

Daiyu didn't let him down either, she frowned for a long time and thought for a long time before she came up with an answer.

Zhaoyu frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "It's really appropriate."

Then he laughed, "Yanjun Wang also said that I would not be able to guess everything. I said, 'If I really guess everything', he said, 'Impossible. If you really guess everything, I will accept it. You, all the gold and silver treasures I have here, you can pick any one, no matter how valuable it is." You don't know his expression at that time, it's just that you don't talk crazy, you can't guess The way it came out."

Speaking of this, he deliberately sighed, glanced at Daiyu, shook his head and said, "How did he know that I have a sister who is extremely intelligent and talented, and I can't pick one out of 1. Haha, this is just a slap in the face." You don't know that there are so many good things in Yan Junwang, what should I want? Suet fat jade? No, I already have it. Coral is not good either. By the way, that piece of agarwood! Agarwood as big as a washbasin is hard to come by, what should I carve..."

Daiyu tugged at his arm, pulling him back from the excitement, "You bet with King Yan?"

"Yeah, what happened then?"

Daiyu: "Be careful when Daddy finds out about you."

Zhaoyu smiled and said, "Daddy won't criticize me for such a trivial matter."

Both the Lin Mansion and the Prince Chu Mansion set the eighteenth day of the first lunar month as the day of departure.On this day, the gates of the two houses were opened early in the morning, well-dressed men and women moved back and forth, and cars and horses were parked all over the street.When the masters went out and got on the chariots and horses, the two teams merged into one team, with Chu Wang's mansion in front and Lin's mansion behind, Hao Hao Tang Tang occupied a street, attracting countless people to go out and stand on the side of the road to watch.

Through the window screen of the carriage, Daiyu saw the door of a house opened. Inside the threshold, a delicate and gentle woman was holding a baby who was only a few months old, and holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in the other hand, pointing at the door. The passing horse float said in an envious tone, "Did you see that car? That's the official's wife's car."

The rules of the small family are small, you can usually come out and walk around, as long as you are careful not to get too close to men, no one will gossip, unlike the family members of a wealthy family, who do not leave the door all the year round, usually even a man Can't see you.There were many women like her who opened the door to watch the excitement, and no one found it strange.

The little girl opened her mouth wide, said "Wow", and said, "The car of the official wife is so beautiful!"

The woman said in a calm voice, "Good boy, when your father passes the Jinshi examination, mother will take you in such a beautiful car, okay?"

The little girl's voice is sweet: "Okay~"

Daiyu didn't find it strange that many poor scholars had once entered the imperial examination and then lived a life as a master.The chariots and horses passed by slowly, and her gaze swept across the mother and daughter with compassion. Many wives of humble scholars were also looking forward to such a day of becoming famous, but in the end, it was very rare to achieve it.

Hope they are lucky enough.

Wu Shuo, king of Yan County, brought Shen Bo, the son of the general, and Zhang Ying, the son of the Minister of the Household Department, to send Zhaoyu to the outside of the city gate.

Zhaoyu looked at this and then at that, and finally her eyes fell on a red lacquer box held by the servant behind Wu Shuo.

Wu Shuo pursed his lips, turned around and took the box in his hand, and said: "This is the root of red sandalwood, it is very good for root carving. I got it with great difficulty a few days ago, thinking that it would be a waste if I gave it to others. , among the people I know, you are the most knowledgeable, so I will give it to you, just don't dislike it."

Zhaoyu quickly caught it, with sincere emotion in her eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Shen Bo and Zhang Ying also gave gifts respectively.They were all companions of Yan Junwang, and they had a very good relationship with Zhaoyu in the palace in the past, even after they left the palace, the two of them often came to see Zhaoyu.Several people have been close to each other, and now they are suddenly separated, and they will not meet again for a few years, so they are very reluctant to part with each other.Especially Shen Bo, with tears in his eyes, grabbed Zhaoyu's hand and said, "Zhaoer, I really miss you, don't leave, okay?"

"I told you not to call me like that." Zhaoyu pushed his hand away, shook her head with some chills, and said, "It's so numb, it makes my skin crawl."

"Okay, I won't bark anymore, don't be angry." Shen Bo said, "Don't forget me when you go to Yangzhou."

Zhaoyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, no one will forget you if I forget you."

Wu Shuo's eyes sank slightly, and he paused for a moment on Zhaoyu, as if he was restraining something.He moved his lips, but after all, he didn't say anything, and after a while, he returned to his usual calmness.

Daiyu stuck her head out of the carriage and called, "Brother, it's getting late, it's time to go."

The curtain was lifted, revealing Wu Junying's handsome and handsome face beside her.Zhaoyu promised and came over, Wu Shuo also came over, smiled and raised his head under the car and said: "The journey to Yangzhou is bumpy and far away, brother Jun must take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to the king and princess of Chu. OK.

He came back and said to Zhaoyu, "Take care!"

Zhaoyu lay on the car window looking at the handsome and dazzling boy in the sun, and blurted out a sentence for no reason.

"Your Highness, I will miss you," he said.

Wu Shuo opened his eyes wide at first, then took two quick steps and grabbed Zhaoyu's hand.

After a while he let go, Zhaoyu felt something extra in his hand, and looked down, it was a piece of crystal clear and moist sapphire.He recognized this piece of jade, Wu Shuo wore it close to his body all year round, and cherished it very much, why did he give it to him properly?

They were just the superior-subordinate relationship between the emperor's grandson and the companion, not even the classmate.

Zhaoyu raised his head and wanted to ask what was going on, but the carriage had already started, and Wu Shuo was waving to him, but he didn't ask, he only gave the other party a puzzled look. A sentence blew into my ears, as if it said "I will wait for you to come back in the capital..."

Zhaoyu was not in the mood to care about these inexplicable words, because Chenyu suddenly climbed up on him, pulled the jade pendant away from his hand, and put it in his mouth to chew.Hearing the sound of "creaking" teeth gnawing, and seeing transparent snot bubbles on the shiny sapphire, Zhaoyu curled her lips and said, "I'll give it to you, let's play with it."

Thinking to himself, is this the very smart younger brother Daiyu mentioned?

I really don't see how smart it is.

He stared at Chenyu, squinting his eyes, Chenyu, Chenyu, you must strive to become smarter in the future, study hard, and win glory for our Lin family, only in this way can daddy let me go.A younger brother who can't stand a gun for his elder brother is not a good younger brother...

After leaving the capital, go by land first, and then turn to water after five days.Chuwangfu and Linfu rented a large boat each, and several small boats on both sides went side by side.Because most of the entourage were from the north, they were not used to boats, especially Chenyu was too young and often cried, and Princess Chu was not in good health, so she couldn't bear the hard work of the journey, so the speed of travel was not fast.

In February, the weather became warmer, and the willow trees on both sides of the canal sprouted green buds floating in the air, full of infinite vitality and hope.The wheat fields are endlessly green, and the peasant households live in groups of three or four. A shepherd boy rides a yellow ox to go out. When it’s meal time, the smoke from the village is rising. Looking from a distance, the small houses are hidden in the smoke, adding to the atmosphere. A natural taste.

Once they missed the town, they stayed overnight in a village.

The village is not too big, with only about twenty or thirty families, but all of them are enthusiastic and entertain with the best food.The family where I stayed had a loom, and Chenyu liked it very much. The little person was not as tall as the loom, so he insisted on sitting on it and tinkering with it, and refused to leave after playing.

In order to coax his son, Jia Min almost bought the loom, but it was too heavy and inconvenient for long-distance transportation, so he had to give up.

By the time of Daiyu's and Wu Jun's birthdays on the twelfth day of the second lunar month, more than half of them had already left.

Jia Min and Princess Chu discussed that since the two children's birthdays are on the same day, they should celebrate together.It happened to be in a slightly larger city at that time, so we stayed for a day. The children's mood was very important, and it was okay to delay for a day. Everyone was tired after traveling for many days, so it was time to take a good rest.

Daiyu opened her eyes, only to see a pair of bright eyes staring at her.

"Are you awake?" Wu Jun's voice was clear and soft.

Daiyu smiled brightly from the bottom of her heart and asked, "Is brother outside?" She heard Zhaoyu's laughter.

Wu Jun gave a "hmm" and didn't mention what Zhaoyu was here for, but just said, "Yu'er, happy birthday."

Daiyu gave a "chi" smile, and said to Wu Jun, "Happy birthday." Then she reached under the pillow, took out a beautifully embroidered purse, and said, "This is for you."
