Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

"Where did you say that girl Lin went? Why can't I find her?"

"Don't worry, the old lady. I think the eldest girl still couldn't figure it out for a while, so she hid just now. When she figured it out, she would definitely miss the grandmother, the old lady."

Jiamu looked at the red candles flickering like beans, feeling a little bored between the creases. Now that Baoyu is still unconscious, she is chanting Daiyu's name alone. Only when she hears about Daiyu can she wake up. Thinking about it this way, Mother Jia really regretted driving Daiyu out in the first place.If Baoyu got used to it slowly, I'm afraid it wouldn't be what it is today.

Mrs. Wang's lowered eyes looked at the sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand. The beads in her hands were spinning quickly, but she was also thinking about the same question as Jia Mu. Just look for it, I think, that girl Lin may not go back to Suzhou, she should find someone to find out now."

After hearing the answer, Mrs. Wang got up and left, but she was called by Jia Mu again: "Why don't you find a compromise first." Looking at Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang hurriedly smiled and said: "Old lady, please tell me .”

"It is often said that Qingwen in Baoyu's room is the most like that Lin girl. Why don't you let her open her face first and serve Baoyu together with Zijuan. One is an expedient measure, and the other is for joy. You Is it appropriate to think about it?" Ruju's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Wang.

Although Mrs. Wang heard Jiamu's inquiry, she already had an idea. After all, she thought that Qingwen was very angry in her heart, but she still had to apologize and said with a smile: "After all, Qingwen went out from the old lady's house, and she looks very romantic. How much is the eldest girl, if Baoyu's dementia can be cured, the daughter-in-law will naturally deserve it."

Jia Mu nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Since that's the case, you should go back and have someone prepare some, and your empress, alas." Jia Mu sighed, and now Yuan Concubine has been demoted to Yuan Concubine and stays in the palace for a long time. Jiaofang's family members are not allowed to visit, but I don't know what is going on with her now.

Hearing Jia Mu mentioning Concubine Yuan, Mrs. Wang's eyes turned red immediately, and she managed to stop the tears from falling, and said: "Don't worry, old lady. Your Majesty has been in the palace for so many years, and she has a qin attendant by her side. It doesn't matter if you think about it." hinder."

Jia Mu also had no choice but to nod, and said: "Forget it, we can't do anything outside now, we just took money to deal with those court ladies and eunuchs, so that the empress will have a chance to be promoted again in the future." Mrs. Wang listened to Nuonuo backed out.

Seeing Mrs. Wang coming in from the outside, Xiren hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Why is your wife here?" Mrs. Wang glanced at Xiren and said, "Is Baoyu feeling better today?"

Xiren looked at Mrs. Wang's face carefully, and replied cautiously: "Second Master ate some millet porridge today, which is better than before."

Mrs. Wang patted Xiren's hand and sighed with a smile: "It's also thanks to your child's care. With you taking care of Baoyu, I feel relieved." It can be considered that Aunt Zi has been taking care of Er Ye, if Aunt Zi hadn't mentioned Miss Lin, I am afraid that Er Ye would still refuse to eat."

Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed, but she was smiling all over her face. She lifted her feet and walked inside, saying: "This is very good. With such a caring person like Zijuan serving by her side, Baoyu will almost be able to recover."

The attacker supported Mrs. Wang's hand, and said: "That's right, Aunt Zi is usually the person who can control Second Master the most. It is also a blessing for slaves to serve her and Second Master."

Mrs. Wang looked at Xiren with satisfaction, and before she walked into the inner room, she said with a smile: "My good boy, I will not forget that it should be yours, I just wait patiently for a while, and when Baoyu is all healed, I will be relieved." , with you by his side, I feel very at ease." His face flushed red when he said a word, and he only responded in a low voice, and helped Mrs. Wang go to Baoyu's inner room.

Seeing Mrs. Wang coming in, Zijuan, who was sitting by the bed, hurriedly got up to greet her, bowed her knees and said, "I've seen Mrs. Wang."

Mrs. Wang took Zijuan's hand and got up, saying: "Good boy, you have worked hard." Zijuan looked at Baoyu lying on the bed with a pale face, turned around and smiled, and said, "Zijuan doesn't feel hard, now I just look forward to seeing you." The second master can wake up sooner."

Mrs. Wang walked to the side of the bed, held Baoyu's hand and sat there for a while, her eyes became more and more desperate. Now she only has two treasures, Baoyu and Concubine Yuan, and Concubine Yuan was demoted. ?At this time, it was all because of that foxy son, and she will definitely repay it even more in the future.

Zijuan looked at the hatred flashing in Mrs. Wang's eyes in shock. Before she could understand it, she heard Mrs. Wang calling her, hurriedly restrained her mind, and walked over with a low eyebrow. Mrs. Wang took her hand , Said: "Good boy, you are working hard now, and you have suffered. The old lady wants Qingwen to help you too. In the future, your sisters should also support you and serve Baoyu well."

Zijuan listened, only to feel a bang in her mind, all consciousness has been far away, and Xiren's face is also pale, looking at Mrs. Wang in disbelief.

Zijuan only felt her hands tense, and quickly restrained her expression, saying: "It's up to my wife to decide. With sister Qingwen by my side, Zijuan will be better." Madam Wang nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said: "Since that's the case, I'm telling you, pick a good day, and I'll be with Baoyu. You look at Baoyu so hard, I'll go first."

Zijuan and Xiren respectfully sent Mrs. Wang to the door, watched her leave the Yihong Courtyard, and then turned around, Xiren looked at Zijuan's pale face, and said with a light smile: "Aunt Zi has another good friend." When the sisters come out, as long as Aunt Zi and Qingwen can serve the second master, don't let the sour and jealous things come out."

Zijuan raised his eyes to look at Xiren, and said, "What did you say?" Seeing Zijuan's indifferent eyes, Xiren immediately suppressed his face and felt angry, thinking that Zijuan is now an aunt, and she is just a person who has not passed the enlightenment path. The maid hurriedly bowed her head and said, "I didn't say anything, don't get angry, Auntie."

Zijuan smiled coldly, and said: "Don't act like we don't know about those dirty things on weekdays, and act as an example of yourself as the master, and restrain your mind as soon as possible." The attacker secretly hated, But he didn't dare to say anything, he just responded obediently.

"Sister Lin." Shui Wanyu's laughter came from outside the window, and Daiyu got up from the couch. Shui Wanyu's pretty red face was imprinted in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help laughing: "Why did you run away so early in the morning?" Come? Hurry up and hold the stove to warm your hands, and look at your cheeks that are flushed from the cold."

Shui Wanyu breathed out, and felt her face was frozen, but she couldn't hide her smile, and said, "Sister Lin, sister Qingyan from my aunt's family is here, and she is accompanying mother and concubine in the front hall. Speaking of which, do you want my sister to meet her?"

That Sang Qingyan is the only daughter of Prince Beijing's younger sister. She is gentle and kind, and she is spoiled. Daiyu often hears Shui Wanyu mention that now that she is here in the mansion, she wants to see her out of reason and affection. Then he got up and cleaned up, and walked to Beijing Dowager's room with Shui Wanyu.

Seeing Daiyu and Shui Wanyu coming in from a distance, the maid by the door hurriedly drew up the warm curtain, welcomed the sisters into the room, took off the crane cloak, and said with a smile: "Princess, Miss Lin is here." gone."

The fragrant smell and the cold sky outside made Daiyu sneezed, Xueyan hurriedly put the hand stove in Daiyu's hand and said, "Miss, you should be more careful."

"What's wrong with Yu'er? But it was blown by the cold wind? Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to get a safe pulse." The anxious voice of Concubine Beijing has already been heard, Daiyu hastily raised her head to stop her, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, It's just that I can't adapt to the alternation of cold and heat for a while."

Concubine Bei Jing held her cold little hand in her hand, and said with a smile, "Would this be better?" Daiyu nodded with a smile, but her attention was attracted by the charmingly smiling woman standing beside her.

Moist red lips, bright eyes, straight nose, a lotus-colored embroidered peony cotton trousers with slanted breasts, a white fox fur skirt of the same color, a Zhaojun suit on the forehead, seven phoenix hairpins with pearls, and tassels hanging down against the snowy forehead. It's not like a weak daughter's family, but it has a heroic demeanor.

That Sang Qingyan was also looking at Daiyu, with unconcealable admiration in her bright eyes, she stepped forward and took Daiyu's hand, and said with a smile: "I guess this is Sister Lin."

Daiyu smiled lightly, moved forward with lotus steps, bent her knees, and said: "Daiyu has met Sister Sang." Sang Qingyan also pulled back her skirt and said, "Sister Lin is so polite."

Concubine Bei Jing walked up to the two of them on her arm, and said with a smile: "It's a good daughter's house, and it's good for the sisters to have a lot of fun together." Shui Wanyu pursed her lips lightly and looked at Daiyu And Sang Qingyan, said with a smile: "My concubine has forgotten my existence since she had Sister Lin. Now that Sister Sang is here, I am afraid that there is no place for me to stand. Anyway, I think I am still sensible." Just go away."

Sang Qingyan and Daiyu looked at each other and smiled, looking like a pair of sisters with their own charms, they both stepped back two steps, took Shui Wanyu's arm, and said with a smile: "Your sister is the best, How could we be willing to abandon you?"

Shui Wanyu couldn't help laughing out loud, and muttered: "It's so easy for people to learn to look good, but you insist on tearing down my platform, mother concubine, don't say I don't understand, it's Sister Sang and Lin My sister won't let me learn well."

Concubine Bei Jing looked at the three of them lovingly, the elegant daughter of the boudoir with a charming smile, a rare smile, she gave Shui Wanyu a look with a smile, and said: "You are not like four, but you are Come here to find the reason, you two sisters are the best among the rare girls, you should learn something."

Shui Wanyu pouted, but her lowered eyes were smart and kind. She glanced at Daiyu and Sang Qingyan, and muttered: "Mother and concubine are partial, you can't be partial like this just because she is my sister-in-law in the future, and Sister Qingyan, my concubine just doesn't love me."

Although the voice was very low, Daiyu could hear her clearly. She stamped her feet lightly with hatred, her pretty face was glowing, and she stepped forward to chase after Shui Wanyu, saying: "Look, I didn't twist your mouth." Yes, you clever parrot."

Shui Wanyu sticks out her little tongue, hurriedly avoids Daiyu, and runs behind Princess Beijing with a giggly smile, gasping for breath, "Concubine Mother, help me."

Seeing the attitude of the little daughter in front of her, Concubine Bei Jing's mind was a little erratic, as if the situation many years ago had reappeared, but she also hurriedly stopped Daiyu's chasing figure, embraced the two of them in her arms, and said with a light smile : "What Wan Yu said is what I said from the bottom of my heart. Now I just look at asking for your will to handle your affairs, and it's all my thoughts."

"The concubine also said that it was the concubine's indulgence. If she said it again, Yu'er would not follow her." Daiyu stomped her feet, her delicate and delicate face was like peach blossoms in spring and March, pink, tender, soft and beautiful.

Concubine Bei Jing patted Daiyu's shoulder with a smile, and said: "Okay, okay, okay, I won't say anything. Just let Rong'er talk to you when the time comes."

"Toffee."

Shui Wanyu hid behind Princess Beijing and giggled non-stop, she just turned her back on Daiyu in annoyance, and said, "Wanyu, you are not a good person, I won't follow you anymore, I won't play with you anymore."

Sang Qingyan came over with Daiyu on her arm, and said with a smile, "Auntie, please stop making fun of sister Daiyu. If my sister is annoyed, won't brother Rong want to trouble Auntie and sister Wanyu?"

Daiyu's face became hotter and hotter, she was so ashamed that she picked up the embroidered handkerchief to cover her delicate face, she turned to the wall and said: "I will ignore you all, even Sister Sang made fun of me."

Concubine Beijing pulled Daiyu in front of her, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, how can someone be so shy? Could it be that they are so shy when they become a family in the future? Look at you, Sister Sang, who is about to be so shy now. Married, I have never seen her so shy."

Daiyu's shame had just faded away at this time, and she looked up at Sang Qingyan with curious water eyes.But Sang Qingyan blushed immediately, twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and said: "Auntie is teasing Sister Yu'er, but it's my head."

As she spoke, she looked at the dancing shadows of the branches outside the window, and sighed, "I'm afraid that after a few days, the mother in the palace will come to teach the rules, and then I won't be able to come to my aunt often."

Sang Qingyan is the daughter of Prime Minister Sang, and now the decree has been promised to the crown prince as the crown princess. Seeing that she has only been divorced for half a year, she doesn't have much freedom to play around.

Concubine Bei Jing took her hand and sat beside her, said with a smile: "It takes a lot of etiquette to marry into the palace, not to mention that the crown prince has just reached the crown, and you young couples will have a lot of things to do in the coming days, you too Just be more careful."

Sang Qingyan listened and nodded, waved away the fear and anxiety in her heart, just laughed at the last day of freedom, and said: "Don't talk about me, just talk about Brother Rong, I'm afraid that sister Yu'er won't be able to wait much longer .”

Daiyu picked up the embroidered handkerchief and slapped Sang Qingyan's hand, saying: "My sister is getting poorer and poorer, but you are going to get married now, so you are making fun of me. I had some good intentions in my heart, but now I just want to make fun of you." Recite Amitabha, let my sister get married as soon as possible."

Sang Qingyan gently pinched Daiyu's pink and tender cheeks, and said with a light smile, "I'm just talking about your narrow mouth. If you get the reward, that is Amitabha."

"Twife, Eunuch Dai Quan in the palace has brought the Queen Mother's order, and is now waiting in the side hall."

Concubine Bei Jing frowned when she heard this, she meditated quietly for a moment, looked at the smile on Sang Qingyan's face, smiled lightly, and said: "Please come to the back hall with Eunuch Dai, he is the queen mother The old people around you don't have to shy away from doing this." The woman agreed, and hurried to the side hall in the front yard.

Concubine Beijing held Daiyu's hand who was about to retreat, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Dai is an old man, and your parents knew each other in the past, there is nothing wrong with seeing you, just sit here and wait. "

Daiyu frowned slightly when she heard that, the old days of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min?Why are people in the palace more and more involved now?Dai Quan, who was originally a celebrity around the Queen Mother, has been with the Queen Mother for many years, said to be a slave, but served the Queen Mother together with Mother De for decades, and the relationship is naturally extraordinary.

I don't know what Eunuch Dai is doing here at this time?The more I thought about it, the more difficult it was to understand, so I couldn't help but look up at Concubine Bei Jing, who said with a smile: "Good boy, you don't have to think too much, Mrs. Dai and Sister Dai are the best. I presume it is what the Empress Dowager meant."

After a while, I heard outside the curtain saying: "Eunuch Dai has arrived." Dowager Bei Jing said with a smile: "Eunuch Dai is invited to come in."

"This old slave has met Concubine Beijing, she is auspicious." A slightly shrill voice came, and when he looked down, it was Dai Quan, who was serving as an eunuch, holding a fly whisk in one hand and a bright yellow scroll in the other.

Concubine Bei Jing smiled and said: "Eunuch Dai is an old man in the Empress Dowager's palace. He has been watching tea since he got up. Where did we get so many rules?"

Dai Quan made a long promise, and laughed quickly: "The Empress Dowager ordered the servants to come and issue the imperial edict. I heard that Miss Lin is here with the Dowager Concubine. Considering the old relationship between Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin back then, I specially invited the Concubine Dowager. Let's go to the palace with Miss Lin."

Enter the palace?When Daiyu heard the decree, her doubts became more and more serious. What is the relationship between the palace with red walls and glazed tiles and them?What's more, when it was said that the Queen Mother was old with Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, why had she never heard Jia Min mention it?

For a moment, the watery eyes couldn't hide the surprise, and the elegant face was full of scrutiny. He tilted his head and looked at Dai Quan quietly, but he didn't know what it meant?

After Dai Quan finished speaking, he handed over the Queen Mother's order to Concubine Beijing. He looked up for a moment, but saw a pair of bright water eyes staring at him. The expression and appearance really made Dai Quan, who had seen many concubines in the palace Amazed.

"This must be Miss Lin." Dai Quan looked at Daiyu silently for a moment before asking.

Concubine Bei Jing smiled and said, "That's right, it's the daughter of Master Lin and Sister Min."

Dai Quan nodded and said with a smile: "Looking at the eyebrows, they look very much like Ding Guogong and his wife, combining the advantages of their husband and wife, no wonder they are so pitiful, and they are more graceful than the Ding Guogong and his wife back then. Slightly better."

Duke Ding?Daiyu's watery eyes were full of doubts, and she looked at Dowager Beijing, really puzzled.
