Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Cigarettes are curling up, and the faint fragrance makes this warm room look like the rising sun in spring.

"I don't know if the prince and princess are here at the mansion, but what's the matter?" After a long silence, Jia's mother could not remain silent, after all, this was the Jia mansion she had been in charge of for decades.

"Since we can come here, there must be something to do." He answered in a nonchalant manner, causing Jia Mu to let go of her thoughts, but she also had to smile apologetically and said, "Please tell me clearly, my lord."

Shui Rong didn't look at Jia's mother, but looked at Jia Zhen who had a little smile on her lips, and said, "I don't know if General Wei Lie can bring His Royal Highness Xiaowang and Princess to Jia Guogong's ancestral hall?"

Mother Jia's face turned pale when she heard that, she looked at Shui Rong and Daiyu in puzzlement, and quickly asked, "What's the matter with the prince and princess? Although the Jia family ancestral hall is not a ancestral temple, it is also a gift from the late emperor." , all the ancestors of the Jia family are enshrined, if the prince has something to do, just talk about it, why did you have to go to that sacred place?"

"Holy?" Shui Rong sneered, and there was no room for dismissing Jia Mu's face. Jia Mu's face turned green and then white, only to hear Shui Rong laugh and said: "This king asked General Wei Lie, and he was also serving him." A little respect for the Duke of the First Kingdom."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the imperial decree held in the hands of the little eunuch behind him, and suddenly unfolded it, looking at Jia's mother coldly, he said: "Even if the Jia family bestows a plaque for the late emperor, it must follow the holy will, why, like this Does Mrs. Jia have anything else to say?"

Jia Zhen looked at the imperial edict of auspicious clouds, golden dragons, bright yellow, and smiled faintly, then bowed her hands and said: "My minister Jia Zhen accepts the edict, and respectfully invites the prince and princess to move to the ancestral hall."

Shui Rong nodded in satisfaction, and walked out with Daiyu's little hand, but suddenly stopped, his cold eyes scanned everyone in the room, and said: "You all come with me."

The tablet of Jia's ancestral hall is enshrined in the Ning Mansion, and the descendants of the clans of all generations are enshrined here, and the first to bear the brunt are the hereditary people of the two prefectures of Rongguo and Ningguo.

Mother Jia looked anxiously at the solemn and solemn ancestral hall of the Jia family. Although she came to worship this ancestral hall every year, she was always in awe in her heart. The daughter-in-law and maid of a large family unconsciously chanted Amitabha Buddha in her heart.

Jia Zhen twirled the incense and made an offering on the incense case, and led the people in the mansion to kneel down and kowtow to confess their crimes. Then she handed the incense in Shui Rong and Daiyu's hands, and said: "Please forgive me, my lord and princess. This is the ancestor's spiritual seat, so I have to respect and be careful." .”

Shui Rong and Daiyu nodded, took the incense in their hands, and only heard Shui Rong say, "Xiao Wang came here for the Jia family's affairs, and Dai'er was originally the orphan daughter of Jia Min, the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion. It has something to do with Jia Min and her." , I have no choice but to open the ancestral hall, just to restore the innocence of their mother and daughter, and please forgive me." He took the incense in Daiyu's hand and placed it in the incense burner, before turning around to look at the people of Jia's mansion.

After hearing these few words, Mother Jia's face was ashen and restless, and Mrs. Wang lowered her eyebrows and seemed to see nothing, Shui Rong smiled coldly, helped Daiyu to sit on the nanmu chair in the outer corridor, and then she looked sharply. Looking at the people in the room, he said sharply, "Mr. Jia, are you guilty?"

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and was reciting the prayer beads, but when she heard Shui Rong's words, she raised her head unconsciously and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Shui Rong smiled coldly, and said, "You are not the only Jia Wang family here, if you weren't guilty, why bother to refute?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Sister Feng at the side speechlessly, she clenched her teeth and said, "My lord suddenly said such words. The fright I was feeling in my heart is normal, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang coldly, but she didn't see a little repentance on Mrs. Wang's face, on the contrary, she added a bit of hatred, so she said: "Mr. Pin Gong people, what kind of storms and waves have you experienced, such a one or two-sentence question will scare you so much, after all, it will not be convincing."

Mrs. Wang's eyes like a snake believer gouged out Daiyu's eyes, and then said: "After all, the princess is still a girl from our Jia family, and now she talks to her aunt like this. Is this why you are a royal princess?" etiquette?"

"Bold." The two maids standing next to Daiyu stopped Madam Wang's words unconsciously, and said, "His Royal Highness, how can you be so rude and blind?" ?”

"Back off." Daiyu suppressed her throat and coughed lightly, looked at Mrs. Wang, and Shui Rong looked at Daiyu worriedly.Daiyu looked back and smiled lightly, wanting to feel at ease, she got up suddenly and helped the nanny to walk to Mrs. Wang's side.

"Men Wang Gong seems to have always harbored a bit of resentment towards Bengong. It seems that it started from the time Bengong entered the mansion until the Xiaowu incident later. Does Wang Gong really think that Bengong doesn't know?"

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, Mrs. Wang's blood faded immediately, she looked at Daiyu in horror, she was silent for a long time, she could neither admit nor deny at this time, silence is the best way to protect herself, so she became more and more He snorted coldly and said: "What a princess Yundai, as a junior, you can only use the status of the queen mother to suppress your aunt and grandmother. Is this also your filial piety? Is it an example for all the boudoir girls in the world?"

Daiyu's eyes were sharp and stern, and she sneered: "Wang Gongren will only use this to make a fuss. It's just a pity, I don't care what you say. I only remember that as a son of man, if even parents If the matter is still unclear, I have vainly burdened the reputation of other people's children and tarnished their name."

Hearing that Daiyu had completely separated her identity from the Jia family one by one, Jia's mother became more and more frightened, she unconsciously trembled, and said, "Yu'er."

Daiyu's cold eyes were as cold as the snow falling outside the window, Jia Mu shivered when she saw her, her cold eyes were no longer the pretty and naughty little girl she used to be, now that she has grown up, she doesn't recognize her She is the grandmother.

Daiyu only felt that she had never known Jia Mu, never had, so their Lin family was still plotted by them after all, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, Lin Qingyu, and even her now, no amount of soft-hearted pity would disappear.

At this time, Sister Feng was already looking at Daiyu tremblingly. It was the first time she had seen such a cold and ruthless Daiyu. The indifference all over her body mixed with the demeanor of a royal princess made her feel indescribably in awe. meaning.

"Since Wang Gong can order people to go to Jiangnan Xiaozhu to use such low-level methods, he should make it clear to me."

Jiangnan Xiaozhu, the four words hit Mrs. Wang's heart, and she clamored rationally to make her stop and try to calm down. After all, the uncontrollable anger in her mind still blurted out. Looking at Daiyu with vicious eyes, she said: "I just want to kill you, you foxy girl." While speaking, the hand with long enamel nails rushed towards Daiyu.

The crazy look made Jia Mu and the others turn pale immediately, and hurriedly ordered the maid at the side to press down on Mrs. Wang, and said: "Please look at her, don't let her talk nonsense and disturb Princess Yundai. "

Daiyu didn't dodge or dodge, just stood there quietly, like a winter red plum standing against the wind, bright and fragrant, but with an unyielding arrogance, coldly looking at the crazy man Mrs. Wang said: "So you want Xiao Wu to sneak into the mansion for eight years?" Xiao Wu?After hearing this, Mother Jia felt that her heart was as dark as ashes, and her dark old eyes did not dare to look up at Daiyu again.

"Haha, haha." Mrs. Wang glanced at the people standing in the ancestral hall with her vicious eyes. There was a look of madness on her face. Daiyu frowned and looked at Mrs. Wang's suddenly crazy expression, and turned to look at Shui Rong. , I saw the indelible killing intent on the water-soluble and cold eyebrows, and I didn't realize it.

Chunxian stepped forward to help Daiyu to sit beside Shui Rong, and said in a low voice, "Miss, just wait and see, let her spit out all the dirty things she has done." Daiyu understood clearly. Nodding his head, his watery eyes seemed to be rippling, looked at Shui Rong, only to see Shui Rong lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly,

"Haha, Jia Min, that vixen, went to hell before us. I have been worth it all these years. I have a son, a grandson, and a concubine daughter. What does she have? But she is a sick daughter, and she will not live long after all. of."

With a "slap", Mother Jia slapped Mrs. Wang's face and said sharply, "You wicked woman, my daughter is my blood relative no matter what. I won't allow you to slander her like this."

Seeing Mother Jia's anger, Daiyu was a little moved, but when she saw the fear flickering in Mother Jia's eyes, she immediately threw that little moving feeling out of the blue.

Mrs. Wang's red eyes looked at Jia Mu who was furious, and she felt a little less imposing, so she pulled Jia Mu's skirt and said: "Old lady, old lady, please forgive my daughter-in-law. She is also for the good of this family. Think about it, if sister-in-law brings all the things in our family as a dowry, wouldn't it mean that our family has no place to support it?"

"Hehe, hehe, old lady, don't be so partial. You see, Zhu'er is still young, and she will marry a wife and have children in the future. This kind of family is our real family. The old man doesn't mean anything, you Don't you value the master and Pearl the most? The old lady."

Jia She, who was on the side, was furious when he heard this, squinted at Jia Mu, and said in a strange voice: "It's strange, it turns out that the old lady didn't like us when she was young, no wonder she let the second room live in us. The main house courtyard, let us move to a small place carved out of the small garden."

At this moment, Jia's mother felt speechless, and Shui Rong Daiyu looked at each other unconsciously, not wanting to reveal how ugly it was, so she didn't want to hear about the grievances, and just wanted to ask about Jia Min directly.

Before Daiyu could ask, she saw Mrs. Wang's complexion suddenly changed, and said, "That curly Yingri chrysanthemum, hehe, that taro cake was given to Jia Min by someone, and that curly Yingri cake was given to Jia Min. Chrysanthemum came out of the palace, who can doubt it?" After speaking, she lowered her head in a murmur, then raised her head and said with a smile, "Haha, she deserves to be weak and unable to bear children, so she had to take a concubine for Lin Ruhai. "

I thought that what Lin Ruhai made at that time was the vow of being a couple for a lifetime, but Jia Min was forced to take a concubine because of the matter of his children. Who would have thought that none of the concubines had children, but she alone got it? God's kindness gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Looking at Mrs. Wang who was muttering to herself while bowing her head, Daiyu immediately couldn't hold back the heat from her eye sockets, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She sat on her water-melting hands and stood up, tremblingly, and said, "What do you mean?" What is it, if it is only for your own selfishness, why put mother to death? What is your purpose?"

"Where is it? Where is it?" Mrs. Wang suddenly smiled sadly, and looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Master, master, if you had even the slightest bit of pity for me, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Thinking that when she married into Jia's mansion, she didn't get the respect of her new wife, so she could only serve Jia Min, that's all. Gongyue.Relying on her everywhere, yielding to her every good thing, everything made Mrs. Wang gradually distorted in her heart, gradually unable to control herself.

"Do you know that at that time, I wanted Xiaoyu in my room to serve you, but she broke a jade carving in Jia Min's room, and then you were kicked out. At that time, I knew that Jia Min was The treasure of all of you, with her here, how can there be a place for our mother and son in the mansion?"

The high dowry of Jia Min's wedding made all the women in the capital envious, and she was also envious, and she fell into mad jealousy. She hated it because she wanted to put Jia Min to death.

Mother Jia looked at the hatred on Mrs. Wang's face in amazement. She never knew that Mrs. Wang's hatred for Jia Min had reached such a level. After ordering Daiyu, she was single-minded about welcoming Baochai in the door, but now it seems that it is far from the case.

Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu in a daze, with a touch of sadness in her heart, tears slowly fell on her veiled face, and said in a daze: "You know, all the dowry of mother is from father and mother. Yes, to save face with the Rongguo Mansion. That's why my grandfather felt so ashamed of my mother and defended my mother everywhere, and the eldest and second uncles also understood that they were ashamed after all, that's why they pampered and pampered them so much."

Shui Rong waved his hand lightly, and said, "Come in." Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and only one person came in, and Jia Zheng and Jia She suddenly had a frightened face, and hurried forward and said, "Master Fu, what are you doing?" coming?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment ignored Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My minister kowtowed to the Prince of Beijing, Princess Yundai." Shui Rong raised his hand slightly, and said, "Did you hear clearly what happened just now?"

"I understand." Fu Yan stood up and raised his voice, "Come here, take down this wicked woman who poisoned Her Royal Highness Princess Yundai, so that I can turn to the Queen Mother and give Princess Yundai justice."

"I beg you to be merciful." Mother Jia suddenly knelt down on the ground, thinking that Concubine Yuan had just stabilized her position and left the palace just now, and when she encountered such a thing and came out again, how could Concubine Yuan feel so bad, and Concubine Yuan would be the one who will be troubled by that time. .

Although Fu Yan despised Jiamu's behavior, but because of Daiyu's status, he still said "the old lady can be regarded as the wife of the imperial court, and you can understand the rules of the imperial court. This poisoned Princess Yundai." It's not a trivial matter, and I can't be the master."

Seeing this, Jia's mother hurriedly turned around and knelt down towards Daiyu, saying, "Yu'er, it's my grandmother who is begging you. After so many years of love, please hold your hands high and let your aunt go. She was confused for a moment."

"A moment of confusion?" Daiyu smiled sadly, "Because of her moment of confusion, my mother kissed my younger brother, my father and the three of them died on Huangquan Road, and it's just because of old lady Jia's words of moment of confusion?"

When Jia's mother heard this, she was at a loss for words and could only kneel on the ground with tears streaming down her face. What she could never forget was the wealth and honor of Jia's family.

Seeing such a situation, Jia Zheng immediately knelt down on the ground, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing looked complacent, and Yingchun looked at all this with an embroidered handkerchief in her hand and a pale face.

Tanchun felt more and more disappointed in his heart, after all, this house was still so dirty to such an extent, and turned to look at Xichun's indifferent expression, feeling more and more disheartened.

Daiyu turned around and knelt down to the Jia family's ancestral hall and cried: "Daiyu is the daughter of Jia Min, the granddaughter of the Jia family. It shouldn't be like this, but since her mother has been buried in the underworld, the Lin family has severed all ties with the Jia family. , if there is anything in the future, I just hope that the ancestors will not blame Daiyu for ignoring it."

When Jiamu heard this, her face turned ashen. Daiyu said this to the ancestors of the Jia family, but it was the last warning to Jiamu. How could Jiamu not understand?

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing became more and more satisfied. She hurriedly stepped forward to help Jia Mu to stand up, and she glared at Mrs. Wang and said, "The old lady wants to calm down. It's not worth it for such a foolish woman. It's more important to take care of yourself." .”

At this time, Jia's mother no longer had the usual calm attitude, and could only barely stand by Mrs. Xing's hand.

"Come here, bring up that lowly maidservant." As soon as Shui Rong finished speaking, she saw two rough envoys carrying a handicapped woman over. The man couldn't help covering his nose, raised his eyes and said coldly: "At any rate, this is also the ancestral hall of our Jia family. It's fine if Prince Beijing and the princess come here. Why did you even bring this beggar here?"

Shui Rong caressed the jade wrench on his finger, looked coldly at Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Xing, and said with a faint smile, "After all, this is the flesh and blood of your Jia family? Why? Old lady Jia doesn't recognize it?"
