Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Li Xuemei froze in place for a long while, only to feel that someone behind her was pulling her back, unconsciously waved that person's arm, and blurted out, "I don't want to marry."

The Empress Dowager looked at Li Xuemei with frowned eyes, with a bit of boredom in her cold eyes, before the Empress Dowager could speak out, Concubine Li was startled, she knelt down hastily, and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager." , because the concubine's family has no way to teach, and the concubine is willing to accept the punishment."

Seeing this, Mrs. Li Hou hurriedly led everyone in the mansion to kneel down, kowtowed, and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager."

Mrs. Li Hou and Li Xueqing held down Li Xuemei's hand that was still struggling, and warned in a low voice: "If you don't want your family to be burdened by you, then shut up with me right now." Li Xuemei heard this , Seeing that everyone was kneeling on the ground, I didn't realize that my heart was mostly ashamed, but I didn't struggle any more.

Shuichen Longmu glanced at them lightly, and said: "Get up, this time I only treat her as a child, besides, today is the Queen Mother's birthday, I don't want to disturb the Queen Mother's happiness. Concubine Li is confined in the palace for three days, Li Hou To avoid the three-month salary, it is only because I teach this Miss Li for Li Hou."

Concubine Li nodded her head tremblingly, and said: "My concubine, thank you Your Majesty." At that moment, Li Xuemei felt a loud noise in her mind, as if she couldn't hear anything, she couldn't see clearly, and all the people around her were whispering , more and more aware of difficulties, he could only let Mrs. Li Hou and Li Xueqing lead him back in a daze.

The Empress Dowager looked at the members of the Li family, smiled at Mrs. Jinxianghou, and said, "Miss Li really has the heart of a child. I only hope that Mrs. Jinxianghou can teach her well in the future."

Seeing that Madam Hou of Jinxiang nodded, the queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and said: "In this way, since Ai's family is happy today, we will set a good day for the sixth day of next month, and you will be in-laws earlier, so you can feel at ease .”

Even though Madam Jinxiang Hou had thousands of reluctances in her heart, she had no choice but to bring the women in the mansion to kowtow to thank her. Concubine Li also hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine kowtows to the empress dowager for the emperor's grace."

Shui Rong had a slight smile in his heart, and he looked at Daiyu with a very gentle look in his eyes. When Daiyu looked back, she didn't feel her delicate face flushed, she took two steps back in shame, as long as she hid in Beijing Behind the princess.

Concubine Li wrung the brocade handkerchief in her hand, watching the people in Ningshou Palace greet Daiyu and Concubine Beijing in every possible way, she didn't feel mixed feelings, suddenly felt a sharp gaze sweeping towards her, and shivered shiveringly , instinctively turned around to look at each other, but saw that Shui Chen's face was becoming more and more cold and angry, and he lowered his head unconsciously, restraining his thoughts.

She has been with Shui Chen for decades, and she understands Shui Chen's thoughts best, Shui Chen is the most suspicious person, and today's incident has revealed a great flaw, I hope it will not bring any disaster to Shui Yan.

Mother Jia couldn't tell what was in her mind at this time, she could only look at Daiyu, who was like the stars and the moon, her dazzling beauty was no different from that of Jia Min, who was famous in the capital. A bit of hate and anger.

Concubine Yuan's sad eyes saw Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's almost cannibalistic eyes in her eyes, and she felt weaker and weaker, and tears fell quietly. I am afraid that the strength of the Jia family has really come to an end.

The wind and snow were blowing, and the thicker and thicker snowflakes swayed everywhere like a silver wrap, Daiyu took the bright yellow imperial edict in a daze, her face flushed like a cloud.

Unable to hide her joy, Chun Xian hastily brought out the red purse with gold branches and jade leaves from the room, and rewarded the maids, eunuchs, eunuchs and servants who served in the courtyard one by one, all of them were beaming with joy.

Sending off the father-in-law who passed the decree, Chunxian Xueyan and the two helped Daiyu into the house. Seeing that Daiyu's face was blushing, they joked: "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess."

Daiyu cast a reproachful glance at them, couldn't stop the red faces from flooding her face, and said in a low voice like a mosquito moaning, "Forget it, you guys are also booing together, hurry up and stop."

Holding the imperial decree in his hand, a faint smile floated on his face. At this moment, there was a kind of shyness of a daughter who was waiting to be married in his heart. Thinking of being with the water-soluble energy in the future, he felt more and more beautiful and red as fat, faintly overflowing and bringing in with the wind Throughout the midwinter, the red plums outside the window were blown red and blooming.

Mother Jia looked coldly at the group of sons-in-law and daughters-in-law standing in the room, and became more and more angry, and she unconsciously glanced at Mrs. Wang with a bit of sternness and resentment in her eyes.

Mrs. Wang stood there anxiously, not knowing how to look at Jia Mu, but she had already regretted it in her heart. If she had known that Lin Daiyu was so capable, she had directly let Baoyu marry Daiyu according to Jia Mu's wishes. Isn't the prosperity and wealth of the Jia family going on forever?

"If you hadn't been so ungrateful back then, how could Miss Lin have left the mansion? If her current status was her current status, how could our mansion and the empress have been reduced to such a state?"

Seeing Mother Jia speak indiscriminately in a fit of anger, it was difficult for the people in power to open their mouths. Only Jia She curled her lips and lowered her eyes in disdain. If it hadn't been for what Jiamu said, Daiyu would break everything. Thoughts, how could it reach such a point?

After all, it was Jia's mother's fault, but now it's their fault.Forget it, let's not say anything now, I will only settle accounts after I get the old thing's money in the future.

"Old lady, madam, master is not good." The mother-in-law's panicked voice came from outside the door, Madam Wang unconsciously tightened her eyebrows, and reprimanded: "Where is this servant from the sect, it doesn't matter so much, hurry up Some dragged it down and kicked it out."

Mother Jia cast a cold look at Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng hurried out from the door. After listening to the woman's words, she was taken aback, and then smiled indifferently and mockingly. Sui said: "You go, I will report back to the old lady."

As he said that, he lifted the curtain with the maid's hand and walked in, looked at Jia Mu and bowed and said, "Old lady, that was the woman who guarded the door outside the second gate just now, because the woman from the Xue family came to report and said It was the uncle of the Xue family who killed someone and was arrested and brought to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation."

"What?" Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward to look at Sister Feng and said, "Say it again, what happened to the Xue family?"

The expression on Sister Feng's face remained unchanged, so she said again: "Go back to the second wife, it was the uncle of the Xue family who killed someone and took him to the prison of the Ministry of punishment."

"What's the point? It's worth it? It's just a cheap life, so I just paid it off with money." Mrs. Wang only treated it as a matter of the Feng family when she heard this, so she didn't care. waved.

At this time, Jia Mu heard something wrong, she pondered for a while, and said: "Can you find out who was killed?" Any one in the capital is a dignitary in the capital. If the Xue family offended any dignitary, Don't let Jia's family get in, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it

Sister Feng pondered for a while, but before she could answer, she heard a commotion outside. Mother Jia frowned unconsciously and said, "What's the matter today? Everyone is yelling, are you still decent?"

While talking, Aunt Xue had already led Baochai in. Seeing that everyone in the Jia family was here, she knelt down hastily and said, "For the sake of our relatives, please help Pan'er. "

Seeing that Aunt Xue was crying with snot and tears, Mrs. Wang and her biological sisters hurriedly helped Aunt Xue up and said, "My sister has something to say. For a family like us, even if something really happened, it would only be a matter of time." It's just a matter of two silver coins, you get up first and explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly."

Seeing that everyone was there, Aunt Xue quickly lost her composure, and said eagerly, "Pan'er went out yesterday, and we didn't care about it. We said we wanted to get up today, so we followed his little one." Er said that Pan Er was arrested and interrogated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, saying that he had killed someone."

Mother Jia's already angry mood became even more angry when she heard this. Ever since the Xue family came here, they have always found some troublesome matters with the Jia family. A person came in, and he said in a cold voice: "Uncle Xue of your family is really capable, and he made such things again and again."

Think about Aunt Xue, who has lived in Jia's mansion without saying that she will leave since she came here, and she has made such a good marriage, forcing such a noble person as Daiyu away for nothing, she has treated Xue's family a little bit. The impatience of her is becoming more and more difficult to see now, but I see them making constant troubles.

When Aunt Xue and Baochai heard Jiamu's words, they were stunned immediately. Baochai felt Jiamu's indifferent attitude even more. After arriving at Jia's mansion, he hurried forward and said: "Please calm down the old lady, thinking that the matter is not yet clear, but we are in a hurry, I just hope that the old lady and uncle can take care of my brother, and find out the news. ?”

After all, Baochai is still Mrs. Wang's niece. Mrs. Wang saw Baochai's pear blossoms in the rain but did not leave in the slightest dignified manner. She felt pity in her heart, and hurriedly helped Baochai and Aunt Xue to get up, looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Master, you Just because Pan'er is your nephew, can you inquire about the news."

Jia Zheng was a little bit embarrassed, he only looked at Jia Mu, he always claimed to be an upright person, and never asked others for anything, so although he had a daughter of a noble concubine, he was just a foreigner from the Ministry of Industry. After saying this, I felt a little bit troubled in my heart.

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng at this moment, curled his lips in disdain, and then stepped forward and bowed and said: "Old lady, my son can go and inquire about it. If the second brother is in trouble, he doesn't have to go. It is also for the sake of your mother." A little more face."

After hearing this, Jia's mother looked at Jia She in surprise, but seeing Jia She's flickering eyes, she couldn't deny the face of Aunt Xue and Baochai's relatives, so she said, "Well, go and find out. If it’s really all right, just let Pan’er come out.”

When Aunt Xue and Baochai heard this, they were both surprised and happy, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "Thank you, old lady, thank you, sir." Mudan's complexion hastily said seriously: "Don't worry about this, Mrs. Xue, if you can save Pan'er, then it will be fine." After hearing this, Aunt Xue became more and more grateful, and only thanked Jia Amnesty repeatedly.

Aunt Xue and Baochai waited anxiously for the outcome of the incident, and it was another day before they could freshen up a little, when they heard the mandarin duck outside ask, "Is my aunt at home?"

Aunt Xue hurriedly came out with her hair in a bun, saw Yuanyang smiling all over her face and said: "But is there any news from the old man?" The old man went to the old lady's room earlier, and now he is inviting his concubine and Miss Bao to go there."

When Aunt Xue and Baochai heard this, they were overjoyed and said hastily, "Let's follow the mandarin ducks to greet the old lady."

The joyful look on the road just now was dissipated by the dullness in the room. Unknowingly looking at the dejected Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng with furrowed eyebrows, and Jia Mu's twinkling eyes and cold anger, he unconsciously felt more and more in his heart. A little dark.

Before Aunt Xue and Baochai came forward to say anything, Mother Jia had already said coldly: "The good son raised by Mrs. Xue actually beat to death the grandson of the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen. The Emperor Longyan was furious this morning. , directly said that if we want to thoroughly investigate to the end, the perpetrator must be executed Ling Chi."

With a sound of "bang dang", it was Aunt Xue who slammed into the high table on the side immediately. The hot tea only boiled her face into blisters, but Aunt Xue didn't feel any pain at all, she just looked at it. Jia Mu cried and said, "Old lady, you have to save Pan'er."

At this time, Mother Jia felt like an ant on fire, extremely anxious. If the matter of the Xue family involved the Jia family, this century-old family would really be defeated by her.

Mrs. Wang's thoughts at this time are no different from those of Jia's mother. It is not as simple as the Feng family's matter to kill the grandson of the Duke of Zhen. It should not be underestimated, the General Niu was choking on the court early this morning, I am afraid that disasters are imminent for the Jia family.

"It's not that we won't help you, it's just that there's nothing we can do to help you. My sister should ask someone else to do it." After hearing these words, Aunt Xue lost her last bit of thought and passed out on the ground.

That Xue Baochai hurriedly stepped forward to help Aunt Xue up, calling out to Aunt Xue, but seeing that no one came forward to the indifferent people in the room, not even the mother-in-law, she gritted her teeth and bowed down. Knelt down and said: "I beg the old lady to look at the love in the weekdays, and save mom and brother."

Sister Feng's sharp phoenix eyes had a somewhat gloating smile on her face, and Sister Sanchun also stood aside with a faint smile on her face, and all the unbearableness in her heart disappeared because of Rili Baochai's behavior.

"Papa" came a burst of clapping, which made everyone in the room jump, and Mrs. Wang was even more terrified, and she said in a hateful voice: "Go and see which servant who doesn't know how to be serious is actually disturbing the master like this!" of?"

Huo's curtain was opened, but he saw Shui Rong and Daiyu standing by the door hand in hand. Unconsciously, his face paled in shock, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "I've met Prince Beijing, Princess Yundai."

Shui Rong walked into the house with Daiyu's little hand, looked at the high threshold, and said softly, "Dai'er, be careful not to let these inhuman things trip you up." Daiyu nodded, looking at the high threshold. The people kneeling in the room finally sighed in their hearts, and followed Shui Rong's footsteps to sit down on their seats.
