The Rongjudai of the Red Chamber

Aunt Xue said: "That's not true. Anyway, we are also the eldest house of the Xue family, and we must follow us in everything. I don't know how your uncle taught them, but they are all so rude."

Baochai heard a vicious flash of viciousness in Xing's eyes, and said bitterly: "Now that even the low hoof of Zijuan has climbed on my head, and I have become Baoyu's aunt, I, the wife's grandmother, have not yet entered the house. She's showing off her might like this."

Aunt Xue looked at Baochai, patted Baochai's hand, and said, "Chai'er, don't be impatient now, let her go first, my son will come in in the future, it is not easy to deal with an aunt? You Seeing that Aunt Zhao in your aunt's room has been suppressed by your aunt for the rest of her life, the most important thing for us now is how to quickly convince your aunt."

After hearing this, Baochai calmed down a little, settled his thoughts for a while, and said honestly: "That's not true, that cheap hoof just served Lin Daiyu for a while, and Baoyu valued it a little bit. If Baoyu knows about it in the future The matter of her betraying Lin Daiyu will make her unable to eat and walk around."

Thinking a little bit in my heart, I've already made a good plan, suddenly remembered the events of that day, felt a little shy in my heart, looked up at Aunt Xue shyly and said: "I went to Yulou with that Qin girl that day, but I saw Prince Zhongshun .”

Aunt Xue was overjoyed when she heard this, and looked at Baochai's shy answer, and said, "Is what Chai'er said true? Does Prince Zhongshun have any indication?" If Prince Zhongshun valued Baochai, then the Jia family You don't have to mention the marriage at any time, and you don't have to hold on to Jia's family like this.

Baochai was immersed in Shui Jian's smile, and said after a long while: "I'm not sure about this matter now, and I may have some meaning in the future." Aunt Xue heard this, and her heart was full Hope, patted Baochai's hand, and said: "The loyal and obedient prince is an extremely noble person in the court. Although he is not comparable to the Beijing Palace, he is also a prince among all the prince's residences. I said, my Chai How can such a celestial beauty be subdued in such a small family?"

The words were full of self-satisfaction, as if Baochai had already entered the Zhongshun Palace, but Baochai held Aunt Xue's hand and said, "Mom, let's not mention this matter for the time being, anyway, the Zhongshun Prince doesn't mean anything." , we still have to leave a way out for ourselves, if the Lord Zhongshun fails, we still can’t give up on this marriage.” Prepare two-handed plans for everything, just like the golden locks we made when we first entered Beijing .

Aunt Xue agreed after hearing a series of voices, and said with a smile: "What Chai'er said is very true, we have to deal with it carefully." The joy in her heart became more and more obvious. There is also a very guarantee for the matter, and I am afraid that the Jia family will be in favor of me at that time. Wouldn't the glory be greater and more dignified?

Outside the window, there was a black shadow standing there motionless from beginning to end, watching the lights in the room gradually turn off, and the silence fell, a slender figure turned and left.

I don't know when, a little rumor spread in Jia's house, it turned out to be what Aunt Xue and Baochai said that day. For a while, everyone laughed at Baochai, laughing at her ignorance, but still Wanting to step on two boats, Mrs. Wang's face turned ashen when she heard it, but she sent Zhou Rui's family to investigate carefully. Such rumors really made Xue's mother and daughter unable to turn over, and they were like ants on a hot pot every day. , waiting anxiously, furious, but couldn't find out who spread these words.

Aunt Xue beat her chest and said: "What's going on? How did the words we said that day get out?" Baochai was also very anxious. If such rumors spread, they would never be taken back. What should we do? ?Even though she usually has a lot of calculations in her mind, she doesn't have the slightest idea anymore.

Standing by the door, Xia Jingui looked at the mother and daughter with a half-smile, with a look of sarcasm on her face, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the stable girl my mother-in-law praised in every possible way in the past, but now there is such a girl?" If you think about it, you are really not as good as a market girl, and you are talking about a lady."

Aunt Xue was even more angry when she heard that, she stood up and said, "What did you say?" Xia Jingui looked at Aunt Xue with disdain and said, "What did I say, you went to our house to propose marriage and praised your son and daughter in every possible way. , Now it seems that it is nothing more than that, the son is actually a murderer, and the daughter is so shameless, it is a disgrace to our family."

As he said that, he couldn't help crying loudly: "Now you are all using our Xia family's money to show your face. The things I brought over as a dowry are all occupied by you, and even the girl next to me is let by your family. The prodigal son has taken over, so what should I do, now I am leaving your house, and I can no longer let you plan."

After hearing Xia Jingui's words, Aunt Xue hurried over to grab her and said: "My good wife, this kind of thing was originally Pan'er's fault. How can we expose the ugliness of our family? Pan'er is your husband. If you can't save him Come out, isn't your life over, our whole family is still waiting for Pan'er, and Baochan supports your grandma and rests." Now there is still a place for her, so let's save her life for the time being. Keep her in mind, and try to get rid of her in the future.

Looking at Aunt Xue's sinister eyes, Xia Jingui let Baochan help her back into the house, but she was still crying, turned and walked out of the main door, with a sneer on her lips, leaving only Aunt Xue and Aunt Xue with cold and poisonous eyes in the room. Baochai watched her leave, the mother and daughter were relatively silent, but they still couldn't wait for Madam Wang's visit, and wanted to argue with Madam Wang, but they couldn't see Madam Wang, feeling anxious and terrified I don't know what to do.

When Shui Jianwen heard about this matter, he just smiled lightly, neither clarified nor confirmed, and let the rumors spread everywhere. What he wants is this, what he wants is to let the four major families have a choice, and don't go back and forth. The court swayed back and forth between him and him, making a fool of himself.

February [-]th is the Huachao Festival, which is Daiyu's birthday, and the palace is full of joy. When Daiyu woke up in the morning, she saw a bowl of very fragrant longevity noodles in front of her.

Daiyu's clear eyes looked at Shui Rong who was sitting on the opposite side with a smile on her mouth, her heart warmed up, she gently picked up a little and put it in her mouth, the refreshing taste made Daiyu's eye sockets hot, and Shui Rong gently lifted Daiyu's delicate face , smiled and said: "Dai'er, you are a birthday star today, so you don't need to shed tears." Daiyu nodded obediently, lowered her head and ate a little, then pushed away and stopped eating.

Shui Rong saw that Daiyu had only eaten a little, and said with a smile, "Dai'er, eat more." Daiyu shook her head, her jade face was filled with sweet smiles, she pushed away the bowl and chopsticks at hand, and pushed them in front of Shui Rong , Jiao smiled and said: "I can't eat so much, Mu Han, help me eat a little." The playful look of Jiaoyan with a smile made Shui Rong also smile softly, and said: "Okay, let's eat together, after eating , let's go to the palace together to pay respects to the Queen Mother." As he spoke, he picked up a little noodle soup, blew it gently, and fed it to Daiyu, just now he picked up a chopstick.

Daiyu looked at Shui Rong's clear eyes with a smile, and nodded, watching Shui Rong finish eating one bite at a time, the sweet curve of Daiyu's mouth became more and more obvious.

After eating the water-soluble noodle soup and rinsing his mouth, he got up with Daiyu's slender hands, fastened the belt of Daiyu's cloak, and took Daiyu's hand to go out. When he entered the main hall, he saw the red silk congratulatory gifts in the hall. , Daiyu frowned, looked up at Shui Rong, and said, "Mu Han, what are these?"

Wen Ting, the steward of Prince Jing's Mansion, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Reporting to the lord and concubine, these were sent by the various mansions to hear that today is the birthday of the concubine."

Daiyu frowned even more when she heard this, and said indifferently: "It's just a birthday, and there is no need for them to work so hard. Housekeeper, please sort these congratulatory gifts and put them away. Return all the gifts that should be returned." It's just a birthday, with such a laborious effort, I'm afraid everyone is watching every move of the Beijing Palace, so why be so solemn?On the contrary, it gave some handles to those who cared.

The butler was slightly stunned, looking at the smiling Shui Rong, and Daiyu looked up at Shui Rong. Shui Rong hugged Daiyu's wind collar, and said indifferently: "Didn't you hear what the concubine said? Tidy up these congratulatory parties." We don't need these things in the Beijing Palace." The majesty in the words radiated admiration for Shui Rong and Daiyu's couple. Looking at the pair of beautiful and handsome couples, as clever as Zhilan, the housekeeper ordered Nod your head, you're about to leave.

But Daiyu called the housekeeper, thought for a while, looked at Shui Rong with a smile and said, "Mu Han, will it be rude for us to go back like this?" Shui Rong smiled indifferently, looked at Daiyu and said with a smile: "You Any good ideas?"

Daiyu thought for a long time, then she suddenly smiled, her face is as elegant as a lotus, and her face is as beautiful as the sun, she said: "Since they are sent to our residence, let's use their hands to help some lonely people living outside, it's spring now , After winter, when it is so green and yellow, many people feel even more sad. Wouldn’t it be a good thing to exchange these things for food and supplement them in Le Shan Tang?” The food donated by Lin Xin is just now Converting these into food can also help some people who have no food and clothing.

With a playful look on his face, Shui Rong smiled knowingly, looked at the butler at the side, and said, "That's fine, then you can convert these gifts into food and donate to those poor families. The names of these benevolent people are unknown." Forget to write it down." There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he stared at Daiyu more affectionately in his eyes.

Hearing this, the butler was slightly startled, and immediately a look of gratitude rose in his eyes, he saluted, bowed and touched the ground, a little teardrop fell, and said in a slightly choked voice: "I obey, and I thank the lord and concubine on behalf of everyone."

But Daiyu said with a smile: "The housekeeper doesn't need to thank us, just thank those who gave the gifts." The housekeeper responded knowingly, walked out of the main hall, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and ordered the servants outside the door to carry the gifts out with a tone of joy. , convert it into food and give it out.

Shui Rong and Daiyu looked at each other and smiled, then got into the sedan chair and went to the palace, the queen mother saw Daiyu coming, then waved and smiled, "I'm not looking forward to you." Looking at Shui Rong beside her, the queen mother smiled Said: "Rong'er, your imperial brother and the others are in the Hanliang Hall, Rong'er go by yourself, there is Ai family here." Shui Rong nodded, took a deep look at Daiyu, Daiyu nodded lightly, Shui Rong Then he backed out.

Not long after, the queen came in with the concubines and side concubines from Zhongshun, Dongping, Nan'an and Xining. Yu, the queen sat down on Daiyu's back, and said with a smile: "In the palace of the queen mother, sister-in-law Bei Jing doesn't need to be so polite."

Daiyu was about to resign, but the queen mother took her slender hand. After deeply seeing the different expressions of everyone, she looked at Daiyu lovingly and smiled: "Your sister-in-law is very right, today is your birthday, just don't worry about it." It's all right to sit next to Ai's family, don't pay attention to the etiquette of those Lao Shizi." The queen smiled slightly after hearing this, and sat beside the queen mother.

Princess Zhongshun at the bottom watched Daiyu carefully, although she had seen her several times, she still couldn't hide the shock in her heart every time they met, but she remained silent.

Sitting next to Princess Zhongshun, a beautiful girl in delicate clothes stood up with a charming smile, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Princess Beijing is an extremely elegant and beautiful beauty. It was really extraordinary at first sight.”

Daiyu's face was blushing at her blunt words, but the queen mother looked at the girl, smiled slightly, and said: "Yu'er has a thin skin, Yali is so big and blatant to say such words. , wouldn't it make Yu'er shy?"

He looked at Daiyu and said with a smile: "She is Chen Yali, the daughter of Marquis Dingnan. The previous emperor named her Xianya County Lord. She is the sister of Princess Zhongshun. She is used to being so big and flirtatious in daily life. Yu'er Don't worry." Gently patted Daiyu's little hand, but looked at Princess Zhongshun and Chen Yali.

Daiyu smiled slightly, looked at Chen Yali, and said with a smile: "Daiyu doesn't care, Daiyu also likes Mr. Xianya's temperament very much."

Hearing what Daiyu said, the Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, Princess Zhongshun also smiled, pulled Chen Yali to sit down, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are still so reckless, fortunately, Princess Beijing is magnanimous, otherwise Isn't it your fault." The words seemed to be very kind, but they were full of other meanings, Daiyu only smiled lightly when she heard it, and ignored it.

Everyone is talking and laughing freely, although they are relatives and sisters-in-law, they have their own thoughts, only Nan'an Princess lightly raised her wine glass, smiled softly, and wished Daiyu's birthday, her eyes were full of sincerity, which also made Daiyu return a soft smile .

Princess Dongping looked at the smile between Princess Nan'an and Daiyu, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The relationship between Princess Nan'an and Princess Beijing is very good, and their bodies are equally delicate, so it can be seen that they are the same It's Tianya who pity people." The tone of the cover-up smile was a little bit unkind.

Daiyu was slightly startled when she heard this, and then smiled and said: "What Princess Dongping said is very true. We are just sisters-in-law and have nothing to do with other things. We should love each other so that the queen mother will feel at ease when she looks at it. I think Princess Dongping Does that mean it?" Qing Lingling's beautiful eyes were a look of majesty that could not be ignored, causing Princess Dongping to smile awkwardly and said: "That's not it, Princess Beijing is absolutely right, I, I am the same the meaning of."

The corner of Princess Zhongshun's mouth curled up into a smile, and she also said with a smile: "I think what Princess Dongping means is that Princess Beijing's body looks very delicate now, and besides, there are so many beauties in the Palace of Beijing, so it is inevitable that things will be too much." Too much, Princess Beijing can't bear it for a while, and wants to add a helper to Princess Beijing."

Daiyu's expression turned cold when she heard that, and after listening to Princess Zhongshun's words hidden in her cotton, she looked at Xianya's flickering look of anticipation, and then smiled softly: "Princess Zhongshun's kindness is really appreciated by Daiyu, but our mansion is very serious now. Calm, although there is a huge population, she can keep her own law and order, Daiyu can still manage well, don't need other people to meddle in other people's business, but Zhongshun Wangfei's family needs good control, don't let the backyard catch fire."

Daiyu also heard about Baochai, so she didn't spare Princess Zhongshun at all in her words, so Princess Zhongshun was a little bit embarrassed, her face turned pale immediately, and the princesses below also heard about Baochai recently. Chai's matter, so everyone pursed their lips and smiled, which made Princess Zhongshun even more angry.

Just as she was about to say something, the Empress Dowager looked at Princess Zhongshun with fierce eyes, and said, "Is Princess Zhongshun here today for a banquet, or to care about the affairs of the Beijing Palace?" Concubine Zhongshun was startled, and immediately smiled and said: "The concubine dare not, the Queen Mother is not to blame, she just cares about Concubine Beijing." She resented Daiyu a little in her heart, but she hated Xue Baochai's shamelessness even more.

The Queen Mother nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile: "This is really great, as Yu'er said, your relationship is good, and Ai's family can feel at ease, it's just that there are some thoughts that you don't have, it's best to put them away as soon as possible. "I still understand the matter of Prince Zhongshun's mansion. Princess Zhongshun came here and came here with elegance, but the purpose is obvious. But seeing Shui Rong and Daiyu finally having some peaceful days, I can't say anything. Let them destroy it.

Shui Chen was afraid of Shui Rong. If Shui Rong were to marry a girl from a powerful family, the conflict would become more intensified. She didn't want Shui Rong to be hurt, and she didn't want Shui Rong to be hurt. Helpless, fortunately, Shui Rong has already stated that he will only marry Daiyu, and the queen mother has already agreed, and naturally the queen mother will reject all those people with bad intentions.

Although Daiyu's body is a little thin, as long as she can be with Shui Rong, that's all. Besides, Daiyu is still young, why worry about her children and grandchildren?Seeing that Daiyu is also a very blessed child, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager sighed softly, that day Shui Rong said that she would only marry Daiyu, Shui Chen had obviously put down his guard these days, why bother now?Even if there are [-] things that can make Shui Rong and Daiyu safe, the Queen Mother will work hard to do them, let alone rejecting these things?None of these girls who grew up in the waiting room of the deep house was easy, so why bother Daiyu?
