The Rongjudai of the Red Chamber

Seeing Mrs. Wang leave, Aunt Xue slumped on the chair and murmured: "What should I do?" Looking up at Baochai's calm expression, she held Baochai's hand and said, "Chaier , what do you think this is good for?"

Baochai was also extremely flustered. After all, with Mrs. Wang's attitude, I'm afraid Xue's family would be hollowed out before the golden and jade marriage. After all, feeding a bottomless pit is not a long-term solution.

After pondering for a long time, suddenly there was a flash in his eyes, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Mom, now that brother is older, it should be time to get married, right?"

Aunt Xue looked at Baochai in confusion and said, "What does this have to do with your brother?" Baochai's hand said: "After all, it is still my son, I can only hate our status, otherwise the rightful lord in the palace wearing a yellow robe should also be my son."

But Baochai hurriedly took Aunt Xue's hand, and said in a low voice, "Mom, this matter must never be said again." Aunt Xue nodded, stroked Baochai's plump face, sighed, and said in a hateful voice: " Now there are some foxes in power, but they hinder my son's Qing Yunzhi, why are those foxes still rampant now?"

There was also a flash of unwillingness in Baochai's eyes, but he had to succumb to the arrangement of fate. After all, if he was born in an imperial merchant and wanted to join the royal family, he must have a strong family background to manage it, but he could only get a small one. A weak position is not as good as a dutiful marriage to Baoyu, but the resentment in his eyes is not known why.

Baochai took a deep breath, suppressed the anger and unwillingness in her heart, and comforted Aunt Xue, saying: "Mom, let's settle this matter for the time being. Even if Auntie wants to fight the famine again in the future, I will just say it." It’s up to us to decide, what we need to do now is how to get my aunt to ask for an edict.”

Aunt Xue nodded, and said with a smile: "I'll just add fuel to the flames, and I'm sure this matter will be done. After all, being a Duke's mansion is also extremely rich and dignified, and there is even a concubine in the palace now." Support, you can be said to be worthy of the name of the emperor's relatives, and my son will marry into it in the future, so it is naturally very dignified."

Baochai nodded, but Xue Pan came in drunk, looked at Baochai sitting next to Aunt Xue and asked, "Why did my sister come back today? Aren't you with that pretty boy Jia Baoyu?"

Aunt Xue's face turned pale when she heard this, she got up and was about to slap her, but she was stopped by Baochai, crying all the way: "My brother is getting more and more capable now, and he came home and said such insignificant words Come on, if outsiders hear about it, wouldn’t they put me to death?”

Seeing that his mother and younger sister were so angry, Xue Pan woke up halfway from the wine, and hurriedly bowed and begged for their understanding. , Immediately said angrily: "Who wants your apology, as long as you don't speak like this again in the future."

Xue Pan heard this and said, "As long as my sister doesn't get angry, everything is fine." Baochai laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I have a very good thing to tell my brother."

Xue Pan hurried forward to ask what was the matter, Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Isn't it just a happy event, last time your sister saw a girl from the Xia family in the shop, her name is Jingui, isn't it that sweet-scented osmanthus Xia?" Is it the only daughter of the family? She is also beautiful and beautiful, and she is no worse than the girls in the mansion. She was also brought up by gold and jade, and there is only one old mother in the mansion who guards the sweet-scented osmanthus field. She will be a relative in the future. We can also take care of some."

That Xue Pan was already fascinated by the beautiful appearance, so he hurried forward and said: "Since Mom and sister said so, please ask Mom to propose marriage."

Aunt Xue nodded in satisfaction, looked at Xiang Ling who was waiting outside the door, and said sternly: "Hurry up and help your uncle to rest, who will show you the weakness of a fox all day long?" Xiang Ling hurriedly walked in with her head down, supporting Xue Pan and was about to leave, but Xue Pan shook off Xiang Ling's thin arm in annoyance, and immediately threw Xiang Ling to the wall. He walked out in a hurry, but Xiang Ling reluctantly got up, followed Xue Pan's footsteps and left.

Seeing their leaving backs, Aunt Xue snorted coldly, then turned to look at Baochai's loving face, and said, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse if such a foxy girl stays by my side. For her sake, why revoke your qualification to enter the palace? If you can enter the palace, even if you are not a beautiful girl, with my son's beauty, you will not be able to call the wind and call the rain by then?" Baochai also nodded, and the mother and daughter did not say goodbye for the time being. Yan, rested, watched them fall asleep, and a black shadow on the roof turned into green smoke and left, as light as the wind.

On New Year's Eve, all the high-ranking mothers of Jia went to the palace to celebrate. Looking at the graceful and luxurious Daiyu sitting with the queen mother, Mrs. Wang still couldn't hide her anger and resentment. Looking at Concubine Yuan standing beside the queen and serving her from a distance, Mrs. Wang felt even more pity in her heart.

Seeing the different expressions of the people, the Queen Mother didn't care, she just ordered everyone to have a banquet and have a good time, the fireworks outside the window lit up half of the sky, and the sound of firecrackers was everywhere. The queen mother watched plays and drank music.

Daiyu looked at Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang sitting at the bottom, but her eyes scanned the expressions of everyone in the hall. When she glanced at herself, there was no trace of cold poison. Although it was extremely indifferent, Daiyu felt it. After all, after living together for so many years, Daiyu sighed softly, whispered a word to the queen mother and queen, then got up and left the table.

Walking out of the Palace of Compassion and Ninggong, Daiyu took a deep breath, and the maids who accompanied her hurriedly put the stove in Daiyu's hands, put a crane cloak on Daiyu, and stood quietly behind Daiyu.

Daiyu looked at the brightly lit palace around her. The branches were covered with paper silk and silk flowers, showing the majesty and majesty of the royal family everywhere. But in Daiyu's eyes, she only felt a little cold. There was no warmth in the cold palace. Daimei Slightly frowning, a glint of light reflected in his eyes slipped past, fleeting.

During the Chinese New Year in Jia’s mansion, there is only the matter of pleasing Jia’s mother everywhere. There is no relaxation or happiness at all. I sigh softly, and I miss those fireworks crowds in the south of the Yangtze River. The familiar nostalgia is far away. I don’t know when I can go back. ?

Sighing lightly, she felt that she had been away for too long, after all it was not good, she just turned around and was about to turn around with the maid of honor, when she saw a straight figure standing not far away, the faint smile on Ruyu's face made Daiyu Feeling warm in his heart, he went forward and said, "Why is the prince here?"

Shui Rong held Daiyu's cold little hand, rubbed Daiyu's jade hand gently with his big hand, smiled softly, and said: "I don't think you can bear these ceremonies, so I found a reason with the Holy Majesty, and just told the queen, we Just leave first."

Daiyu smiled lightly when she heard this, she felt a little joy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, I would like to listen to the prince's order." The mischievous tone made Shui Rong smile softly, tapped the tip of Daiyu's nose and said with a smile: "Naughty, no Have I told you? Just call me by my first name, why should we be so polite between husband and wife?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Although you don't care, but this is in the palace, if you don't care, wouldn't it be someone else's excuse?" Shui Rong looked at Daiyu with piercing eyes, and said with a smile: "Dai'er don't care , you don’t need to care about these things, just follow your heart.” Daiyu nodded, but smiled without saying a word.

Suddenly he heard a voice saying: "Prince Beijing is here." Shui Rong turned around to take a look, suppressed the smile on his face, and said indifferently: "Why is Brother Zhongshun here?"

Prince Zhongshun smiled lightly, looking at the elegant and beautiful Daiyu beside Shui Rong, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled and said: "Isn't this the Princess of Beijing? It turns out that Prince of Beijing came out to accompany the princess. , It really is a husband and wife who are deeply in love." Although the words were smiling, the coldness in his eyes was fleeting.

Shui Rong smiled lightly, and there was a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, but he did not answer, and said lightly: "If Brother Zhongshun is fine, please allow Shui Rong to leave." He walked over with Daiyu's hand in his hand. Pay attention to the loyal and obedient prince behind him with deep eyes.

Sitting on the carriage leaving the palace, Shui Rong looked at Daiyu's pensive look, and said with a smile, "Dai'er, what are you thinking?" Daiyu raised her eyes and smiled, "I didn't think about anything, I just thought that the loyal prince came out The timing was too much of a coincidence."

Shui Rong gently held Daiyu in his arms, and said with a smile, "Dai'er doesn't have to think so much, come on, today is New Year's Eve, I'll take you to a place when I leave the palace later." There was joy in the eyes , let Daiyu in his arms also laugh with him, more and more feel that each other's hearts are connected, emotions and anger are also very connected, and each other's thoughts can understand a little bit, it's so good, nestled in Shui Rong's arms But Daiyu couldn't hold back a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth.
