Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Hearing Concubine Yuan's double-entendre words, Mrs. Wang immediately sighed, thinking about what she had said to Concubine Yuan, and seeing Concubine Yuan staring blankly at the scar on Baochai's face, she became more and more unable to make up her mind.

"Miss Lin is invited to pay homage to Concubine Yuan." Before Mrs. Wang could say anything, Mother Jia had already ordered the maids and eunuchs to go to the backyard to invite Daiyu.

Concubine Yuan stared blankly at the strife between Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and she sighed more and more sadly in her heart. She finally went home once, but she still didn't see the slightest affection. Heavy.

Seeing the scar on Baochai's face, Concubine Yuan immediately frowned. A woman needs three obediences and four virtues. The first thing is a woman's virtue, which seems to be a prudent and courteous person, but the scar on this face does not know what to do. Whether the treatment is appropriate?

Just as he was meditating, all the people below were also bowed their heads in silence. After only a moment, they heard the eunuch outside the door say: "Lin Daiyu, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, a former censor, has arrived." Yu went in.

Daiyu walked into the room with her head down, although she didn't raise her head, she felt attention from all directions, and she felt a bit annoyed and wryly smiled, she stepped forward and said: "I have seen the concubine Yuan, the lady is auspicious."

Concubine Yuan's eyes were filled with amazement, thinking of Jia Min's delicate and beautiful posture when she was a child, and now seeing her daughter again after more than 20 years, it seems that there is more indescribable beauty, full of talent.

The maid beside her hurriedly helped Daiyu to stand up, and after carefully looking at it, she became more and more happy in her heart. The warm yellow brocade cotton gown embroidered with magnolia and white plums, wearing pearls and silk phoenix hairpins on her head, trembling phoenix wings followed her lotus The steps are moving lightly, shaking slightly, like a weak willow supporting the wind, and the heavy winter clothes are also undeniably graceful.

"It really is a good one, and it has completely inherited my aunt's demeanor." While speaking, she couldn't help praising her, making Mrs. Wang stand aside and her heart tightened. Concubine Yuan praised Daiyu so much. Could it be that Daiyu is the one she likes more in her heart?

Daiyu's pretty face was a little red, she only thanked softly, and retreated to the side of Yingchun sisters, but she might as well meet Xue Baochai's meaningful smile, the smile on her face faded more and more, and she glanced at Baochai with cold eyes. Chai, just look at Baochai's embarrassing smile.

"The scars on Sister Xue's face are nothing to look at. When I was young, my palace ordered the palace people to send some high-quality plasters given to me by the emperor. It is the most effective medicine for scars. Given time, all the scars will disappear."

Hearing Concubine Yuan's words, Aunt Xue quickly took Baochai and knelt down and said, "Thanks to your favor, the little lady and her daughter kowtow to Concubine Yuan." Nodding with a smile, he ordered the maid to come forward and help the mother and daughter up.

Seeing Concubine Yuan like this, Mrs. Wang became more and more unable to understand Concubine Yuan's mind. She was in a trance when she suddenly heard Concubine Yuan say, "Why is Baoyu missing?"

"Without being summoned by the empress, I dare not disturb the empress Fengjia without authorization."

"Baoyu and Bengong are brothers of the same mother, and they don't have so many taboos, so please invite him up quickly."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was secretly delighted. After all, Baoyu and Concubine Yuan were sisters and brothers, so she hurriedly turned around and asked the maid beside her to invite Baoyu, who was waiting outside the door, to come in.

Not long after that Baoyu came in, looked around at the maids and eunuchs waiting around, feeling a little unsure what to do, went up to pay homage to Concubine Yuan, peeking through the bead curtain, suddenly saw Concubine Yuan in yellow robe, but also looked at her. Not real.

Concubine Yuan saw a handsome young man from a distance, hurriedly ordered people to remove the bead curtain, kissed down the phoenix seat, stepped forward and sat on the seat with Baoyu on her arm, looked at Baoyu carefully, tears welled up in her eyes , Almost want to come out of my eyes.

Baoyu looked at the elder sister who had not been seen for a long time, and also smiled at Concubine Yuan. The concubine Yuan in her childhood memory is now a glamorous noble lady, but her brows and eyes are still loving and gentle towards Baoyu , "Okay, okay, Baoyu has grown up now." Seeing Concubine Yuan's tears falling, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang hurriedly advised softly.

The tulle is light, and it looks very elegant and moving in the deep winter days and nights. The trembling branches are full of plum blossoms, and wisps of quietness rush into the nose through the thin cold frost. The green emerald censer escaped, and the sweet fragrance in the house became more and more pleasant.

Concubine Yuan looked at the sisters who were writing poems below with a smile, but her eyes were looking at Baochai and Daiyu.

Seeing that Baoyu remembered scratching his ears and cheeks, Baochai hurried forward to look at his poems. Seeing the word "green jade" written on Xuelang paper, he hurriedly looked at him and pulled his sleeve and said, "It turns out that nobles don't like green jade." The word '' was changed just now, but you still use these two words here."

Baoyu was startled when she heard that, she opened her mind, and said with a quick smile, "My good sister, thank you for your reminder." Are your older sisters screaming? The one in the yellow robe is your older sister." Baoyu smiled coyly, but didn't say anything else, only changed the word "green jade" with a pen.

Waiting for Tanchun to come forward with those poems, while the concubine Cai stood on the side to offer the poems, and the concubine Yuan examined them one by one. When she saw the poems written by Baochai, she immediately admired them, and then turned over one more, and the concubine came back more and more The favorite in my heart, savoring it again and again, I feel a kind of admiration that cannot be achieved in my heart.

Raising his head and looking around at the faces of the crowd, he nodded with a smile and said, "After all, the two sisters Xue Lin are different, and they are not comparable to Yumei. This song Apricot Curtain is also very good, and Baoyu has really improved."

Baoyu peeked at Daiyu and smiled. The apricot curtain that Concubine Yuan praised just now was in sight. It was exactly Daiyu's work, and he couldn't help feeling proud in his heart.

Daiyu twitched the corner of her lips lightly, lowered her head and ignored Baoyu, if Jiamu hadn't asked her to help Baoyu, she would not have paid attention to his scratching her head.

Mrs. Wang's chin tightened, and she glanced at Baoyu and Daiyu with her cold eyes. After seeing Daiyu's drooping face, she felt a little more at ease in her heart. , just slightly nodded in satisfaction.

Baochai unconsciously twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, her white jade teeth bit her plump red lips, but in the blink of an eye she was still dignified and calm, smiling.

Concubine Yuan followed Baoyu's gaze, seeing the indifference between Daiyu's brows, she sighed softly, but said nothing.

Every time Mrs. Wang entered the palace, she mentioned how dignified and general Baochai was, how rich her family was, and how she supervised Baoyu, all of which were endless benefits.

On the contrary, she didn't have any words of praise for Daiyu, she just mentioned it lightly, and occasionally there was still a trace of dissatisfaction in her words, which puzzled Concubine Yuan very much.When she was young, she met Jia Min, and according to Jia Min's character and appearance, Daiyu must not be bad, because she always had doubts in her heart.

When the provincial relatives saw Daiyu today, she really had the second best character in the world. Although she was a little weak, she was a transparent person.The girls of the big family are spoiled and spoiled, so they are a bit delicate, and they just need to take care of them in the next day.

Looking at Baochai's dignified and steady state, he is also a rare person. Although his appearance is comparable to that of Daiyu, his demeanor is a little thinner. He has the smell of copper from a merchant's family, which is not comparable to Daiyu's noble aura. Elegant and refined.

Slightly bowing her head and meditating, when it comes to family background, Daiyu has the title of Miss Official and a well-established scholarly family, but she is unable to support Baoyu's mother's capital.Although Baochai is supported by money, it is not in Baoyu's mind. Just looking at the whereabouts of Baoyu's eyes, Yuanfei has already understood the general idea.

Glancing at Mrs. Wang's look of bewilderment and uncertainty, more and more boredom hit her heart.Fortunately, they are still young now, and they only have to wait for a few more years, and then they will determine how it will be. Thinking this way, they gradually let go of this matter.

Jia's mother also looked at Concubine Yuan with some anxiety, she was satisfied with Daiyu, but she treated Baochai and Daiyu equally, how could she not let her feel the elusive mind of Concubine Yuan?

For a while, the eunuch outside the door respectfully invited Concubine Yuan to watch the play in the viewing tower, Concubine Yuan concealed her thoughts and went to the viewing tower holding the hands of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang.

Seeing Daiyu walking behind, Baoyu couldn't help but pause and said, "Why doesn't my sister walk faster?"

Daiyu glanced at Baoyu, saw Baochai's eyes faintly glanced over in front of her, and then smiled coldly: "You also know my body, and the wind and snow outside are very heavy. The scars on my wrists are not healed yet, let alone the journey It's slippery, if there is another 'accident', wouldn't I lose more than I gain?" Looking at Baochai with a faint mocking smile.

Baoyu didn't realize it when he heard it, so he just responded and said, "It's true. If so, I will walk slowly with my sister."

Baochai in front turned back with a smile, took Baoyu's hand and walked forward, looked at Daiyu with a smile and said, "Sister Lin is weak, you are a man, what are you afraid of? Besides, wait After a while, the empress arrived at the viewing tower, but we didn't go there, it would be disrespectful, brother Bao should hurry up and follow us."

While talking, she looked at Daiyu apologetically, and said, "Sister Lin, don't blame me, let us go first." Daiyu glanced at Baochai lightly, and said with a smile: "Miss Bao is right and reasonable, Daiyu I am very impressed in my heart, Sister Bao and Second Brother Bao will go on their own."

The smile on Baochai's face suddenly faded, but she smiled at Daiyu, and pulled the reluctant Baoyu across Sanchun, following in the footsteps of Concubine Yuan and Mrs. Wang.

Xichun fell behind, walking side by side with Daiyu, muttering in a low voice: "To put it nicely, she is a guest in our house, to put it badly, I thought she was already the head grandmother of our house. "

Daiyu smiled, took Xichun's hand and said: "It's because she is afraid of losing her dignity, so let her go and wait, we just wait for the empress to play."

In the middle of the night, the wind and snow were very heavy, and the whole Jia's mansion was filled with bright lights, and the fireworks were as bright as colorful clouds in the sky. The fireworks are easy to be cold, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse.
