Daiyu of the Red Chamber owes no one

Seeing this situation, Sun Qing sneered and said: "Miss Xue is really very capable, a few words make people almost believe it."

Baochai blushed even more when she heard such words.Originally, Su Su and his party didn't know why Daiyu insisted on visiting the water pavilion, but now seeing this situation, they also vaguely feel that there is something inside.Especially Su Su thought about the look in Daiyu's eyes when she stopped her from fluttering butterflies just now, and hurriedly pulled Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "Good sister, tell me what happened just now."

Daiyu glanced at Baochai, thinking that it was a matter of her previous life, and now it would be pointless to expose it in front of so many people, instead she seemed too aggressive.Now that it has been broken, if Niu Hui and Sun Qing had seriously discussed some shady secrets just now, it would be enough for the two of them to know that no one else listened to them.Thinking of this, Daiyu glanced at Su Su and said, "Why is there something wrong? You dragged me out to stroll in the garden. Let's stroll here together. You have eyes and ears, so I can't hide it even if something happens. you."

Although Daiyu said this to Su Su, she also said it clearly to Niu Hui and Sun Qing: I have been together with many people all the time, and none of us will hear what you discuss about private matters.

Su Su knew that Daiyu had something on her mind, and perhaps it was hard to speak directly in front of so many people, so she didn't ask any more.He smiled back and said, "Yes, we have only visited half of this garden. Since there are people in the water pavilion, we might as well go and have a look there. There are also many famous products in the Peony Garden over there, which is very beautiful."

At the end of the original sentence, everyone saved face and dispersed.Since Sun Qing was taught by Mrs. Sun Yu, he was no longer a reckless person. He thought that if a girl from the Shi family could really enter the palace, he would beat Baochai in private in the future, maybe she could still be of use to him.If the girl from the Shi family can't be elected, send out a letter and let the family beat and beat, even if Xue Baochai is released from the palace as a small merchant in the Xue family, she will not dare to talk nonsense.

Niuhui is a savage and used to being unruly, and her heart is very straightforward. Niu Hui said loudly in Daiyu's direction: "Miss Xue, I just heard you say that you wanted to talk to your cousin, and said that your cousin was squatting in that pool just now. Playing with water. How come I saw your cousin at this moment, but I didn't see you stepping forward to talk."

When Niu Hui said this, everyone was taken aback.Especially Baoqin is a quick-witted girl, after hearing this, she looked up at Niu Hui and Sun Qing who were not accompanied by a maid, and they came out of the Cuihua Pavilion again, wondering what they were discussing in the pavilion.Sister Baochai said that she was squatting by the pool, isn't she falsely accusing herself of inquiring about other people's secrets?In the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, one wrong step in one's errands could cost one's life.So Baoqin glanced at Baochai, and the two of them met their eyes. Although Baochai tried his best to be calm, his heart felt weak, and his eyes flickered uncontrollably. Baoqin understood everything.

Although Xichun is young, she can understand the affairs of the Ningrong Second Mansion clearly, so she is not a fool.Now that Niu Hui has said this, what else does she not understand?Therefore, Xichun also took a look at Baochai, and moved to Daiyu's side, away from Xiangyun.Xichun thought: I don't want to stir up disputes, I should avoid them after all.

Su Su has always been lively and loves to laugh. Hearing Niu Hui's words, he couldn't help bursting into laughter.Only Xiangyun stood on the spot, and she didn't know if she understood or not.

After Daiyu heard this, no matter how good-tempered she was, she couldn't help feeling a little angry.In the previous life, Xue Baochai just poured the misfortune on herself. After all, it was just a small quarrel among the girls in the Grand View Garden.In this world, in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, every noble lady has a clan's power behind her. Xue Baochai poured dirty water on Baoqin like this, and Baoqin is by her side.If Xue Baochai hadn't been exposed in public, making people mistakenly think that he was making people spy on his private affairs, wouldn't he be making enemies for his father for nothing?So Daiyu snorted coldly and didn't speak.

After Baochai heard this, she realized that she could not hide it from everyone, so she bowed to Niu Hui and said, "Thank you, Miss Niu. But I didn't need Miss Niu to remind me." Baochai felt miserable at this moment.She originally wanted to confuse her words, but Niu Hui didn't seem to be a quick person when she said it so straightforwardly, maybe she couldn't understand it if the sharp edge hit her deeply.So Baochai had no choice but to say something bluntly, not like saying "Don't need Miss Niu reminding my cousin is here", but rather like saying to Niu Hui, "Don't need Miss Niu reminding me, I know some things should not be spread indiscriminately" .

Rao Baochai made the words so clear, Niu Hui still didn't understand, and wanted to say more, but was pulled by Sun Qing and winked again.Niu Hui didn't continue speaking after seeing Sun Qing's wink.Sun Qing said to Niu Hui again: "Just now I heard that Miss Lin said that she wanted to come to the waterside pavilion. The scenery of the waterside pavilion is indeed good, but we have already seen it for half a day. If we go down first, let them also come to enjoy it." After that, he took Niu Hui through the veranda and came down from the Cuihuating Pavilion.

After all this happened, Niu Hui, Sun Qing and her party were unwilling to go with Daiyu and her party, they found a place far away to go for a walk, and they were sweating all over.

Daiyu didn't think much of it, but Su Su was willing to go shopping, and Baoqin and Xueyan also looked interested, so Daiyu went shopping with everyone for half a day.When I went back to my room to wash up, I was a little tired.And because there are so many noble ladies who are tired from shopping today, the maids and eunuchs of Chuxiu Palace are too busy, and the hot water for bathing is hardly available.

That's all for Daiyu's side, this row is full of noble women from the Hou family, even if they are based on their status, they are no different from this side.Besides, Lin Ruhai is in charge of the real power, so she can't do anything worse than her if she supplies her?Not only did she have enough hot water to take a flower bath, but she also had Baoqin and Xueyan.

The west wing where Su Su lives is all the daughters of second-rank officials from various provinces, and they are not considered high-status among the girls in the big draft.And because Su Su is the daughter of a Beijing official, and others such as Sun Qing are the daughters of officials in various provinces, and Su Su often talks and plays with Dai Yu, and other beautiful women gossip behind Su Su's back, and secretly isolate her. of.

It's not that Su Su didn't know, but she felt that she might be eliminated after the second round, so she endured it for a few days.The second round of general elections is coming soon, and I can't get along with these people for a few days.Unexpectedly, it was fine in the past, but today everyone grabs the hot water, and it is different again.

Su Su only felt that after wandering around the garden for half a day, she was covered in sweat. After sending off the girl to remind her several times, the hot water never came.This time, Linglong, the girl next to Su Su, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and complained: "I think the palace people always feel sorry for us. I just saw that the girl next to Miss Sun Qing was obviously asking for hot water after us. Why? Just now two little eunuchs brought a big bucket of hot water to our room, and the girl next to her stopped her to send it to her first? This is too bullying. It has been passed several times. Hongdou is outside now Stop it, girl, go and have a look."

Su Su thought that one more thing is worse than one less thing, so she didn't care about the fact that several buckets of hot water had been blocked before, but she was sweating and uncomfortable.Being intercepted like this again, I don't know how long it will take to take a bath, and she follows her father in nature, although she doesn't bully others, she is neither humble nor overbearing, and she can't help feeling angry in her heart, saying: "Let's go and see?" stand up.

Jiang Jiang walked to the door, and sure enough, he saw Hongdou with his arms outstretched to stop the two palace servants who were carrying hot water, and Sun Qing's two maids stepped forward to separate Hongdou, but no one did anything.The two eunuchs carrying hot water took it for granted.

Seeing this situation, Su Su glanced at the two palace servants carrying the hot water.She knew these two people before, but at this moment she deliberately stepped forward and lowered her head to look carefully at their waist tags, and even whispered their names.Then he nodded with a smile, stepped aside and said, "Please, two father-in-laws."

There is a huge difference between eunuchs and maids in the palace.Although the court ladies are also servants, most of them are from good families of officials and eunuchs. Although most of them are concubines who are not favored, they can find a good relative when they are released in the future.Eunuchs were brought in as minors, and they were born more cautious and inferior than maids in the palace.The two eunuchs saw Su Suru looked at her badge and saw that she was confident, the more Su Su let them go, the more they stood on the spot and did not dare to leave, the two were stunned and at a loss.

Counting the time since entering the palace, Su Su has also lived in the palace for more than ten days, and she has never fought with others.These two young eunuchs got benefits from other noble ladies, so they deliberately played tricks. They were not the only ones in the harem to do this, and they didn't care about it.But Su Su just looked at the waist cards of the two of them and smiled meaningfully. The two were afraid that Su Su had something to rely on. If Miss Su sued the police, the two would not be able to bear the blame.

The two girls next to Sun Qing were picked out by Mrs. Sun Yu when Sun Qing decided to be elected. They came to grab Su Su's hot water because several girls had already snatched it, so the two Talent is confident.But now that the Lord came out to stop her, the two of them also knew they couldn't force it, otherwise it would damage their girl's reputation.This juncture is on the line, and if you are not careful, you will be branded.

Everyone present had their own ideas, so Su Su, the two eunuchs carrying hot water, and Sun Qing's two maids stood in a stalemate.Sun Qing's girl also winked, and hurried back to report to Sun Qing.Seeing that the two eunuchs did not dare to move, Su Su walked up to the two eunuchs and blocked the way, and refused to let them go.

It was also said that Daiyu came out of the bath, and even Baoqin and Xueyan had bathed and changed clothes, and Daiyu heard the little eunuch who delivered the hot water say: "I've been busy for a while today, how many noble girls are still asking for money in the west wing room?" As for the hot water, I don’t know how long I will be busy today.”

After hearing this, Daiyu thought that Su Su was still in the west wing, so she hurriedly ordered Xueyan to come and see.When Xueyan came to the west chamber, she saw Su Su holding back two young eunuchs who were carrying hot water, standing in a stalemate.Others are the little eunuchs who have received the benefits and dare not see people ordering dishes. They are busy delivering hot water to each room. Even the girl who was neglected at the beginning now has hot water to bathe. Du Susu Stalemate there.Because the hot water sent to Sun Qing's room was stopped by Su Su, other palace people did not dare to deliver it, so who dares to provoke right and wrong now?Therefore, after a stalemate for half a day, only Su Su and Sun Qing were left in the west wing room and hadn't bathed yet.

After listening to Xueyan's words, Daiyu also came to the West Wing Room in person.At this time, Aunt Ning Yu, who is in charge of this year's show girls, also came.Both Daiyu and Sun Qing bowed to Aunt Ningyu, and Aunt Ningyu said, "You guys are getting better at your errands, and if you send a hot water, do you want to ask the girls in person?"

Aunt Ning Yu was a servant for Empress Yuan, her words in the palace were very important, and many palace people sold her face.After Empress Yuan died, Ning Yu lived in Tai Tai's womb and seldom took care of things.In this general election, the sage said: "This general election was originally to choose a granddaughter-in-law for Yun'er. I'm afraid she can rest assured only if she has someone she trusts to watch." Concubine election.And Yun'er is the nickname of Empress Yuan.

Ning Yu said that she was assisting Concubine Wu to preside over the general election, but because of the saint's nostalgia, Aunt Ning Yu's words were very important.It even had something to do with the result of the general election, the little eunuch who was on duty was afraid of her, and even the noble ladies who wanted to stay in the palace behaved well in front of her.

The two young ladies who brought hot water to Sun Qing listened to Aunt Ningyu's words, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "Auntie is right, this servant went to replace the freshly boiled hot water for the two girls. Bring it."

Aunt Ning Yu snorted coldly and said: "Since some people want to skip the order and take the first place, you should carry this water to her room." Then she turned to the two maids beside her and said, "You two, go yourself. Waiting for Miss Sun to take a bath." The two maids behind Ning Yu nodded, walking ahead, the two eunuchs who carried the hot water did not dare to neglect, and followed behind the two maids.

Although it is a warm spring this year, it is a bit cool after nightfall. The two eunuchs and Su Su spent half a day, and the hot water has long been cold. How can the bucket of water be used for bathing?Sun Qing was also sweating all over during the day, and if he splashed it with cold water at night, he might catch a cold.A few days later, the second round of the general election will be held. I feel a little uncomfortable, and I am afraid that I will be dismissed.

Sun Qing heard that Aunt Ning Yu personally ordered two maids to come in to wait for him to take a bath, but it was the bucket of cold water that was consumed outside, and he regretted it long ago.But she bears the honor and disgrace of the Sun family, how dare she disobey Aunt Ning Yu who participated in the selection, so she had to take off her clothes full of grievances under the watchful eyes of two court ladies, and got into the bathtub by herself.

These two maids said they came to wait on Sun Qing to take a bath, rather they came to monitor.Even the girl next to Sun Qing wanted to ask for hot water to add for Sun Qing, but she was stared at by the two maids, so she didn't dare to act rashly.Sun Qing was regretful, anxious and angry in the bathtub, intending to say that he had finished washing and wanted to come up to get dressed, but the two maids said: "Miss Sun spent most of the day wandering around the garden, I'm afraid she may not be sweating, but I’m afraid I’ll have to wash for a while longer to clean it up.”

Sun Qing soaked in the icy cold water, shivering from the cold, but the two maids made her soak for two quarters before allowing her to change.That night Sun Qing had a fever, and the two maids covered Sun Qing with their own quilts, but it still didn't work.

But it was said that the two maids beside Aunt Ningyu escorted Sun Qing to take a bath, and Aunt Ningyu greeted Daiyu in person in a very humble and polite manner, comforted Su Su, and praised Daiyu to the fullest.Daiyu always felt that Aunt Ningyu looked at her with too kind and warm eyes, so she couldn't help feeling a little strange in her heart.

Aunt Ning Yu arranged for the servants to boil another hot water for Su Su, and sprinkled the best rose petals for Su Su to take a bath.The status of the noble ladies in the West Wing is relatively low, usually there is only hot water, and there is no such good thing as taking a flower bath, but this time it is decent, and no one in the West Wing dares to underestimate Su Su.From then on, even Su Su's two maids, Linglong and Hongdou, also became respectable, and the expenses were all high-end.

After Sun Qing took a bath in cold water that day, he fell ill.Although she endured it for the general election, she dared not report it, fearing that she would be branded as frail and sick.But there are so many noble girls in one place, and there are so many people talking, how can we hide it?Before the second round of the general election started, news of Sun Qing's illness spread.

On this day, Sun Qingqiang listened to the rules taught by the foster mother for half a day, and almost couldn't bear it anymore.After finally waiting for the lunch break, Sun Qing hurriedly resisted to go back to the house, and the two maids hurriedly covered Sun Qing's forehead with brocade handkerchiefs soaked in cold water to cool off the heat.

At this moment, Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the palace, came to announce an imperial decree: Sun Qing, the eldest granddaughter of Sun Yu, governor of the south of the Yangtze River, concealed her serious illness and entered the palace to run for election.I read that his grandfather has been an official for many years and has made great contributions to the country. The saint is magnanimous and will not be held accountable.Today, we will take away his qualifications for the election and expel him from Chuxiu Palace on the same day, allowing him to return to his hometown.And because the sage is grateful for his grandfather's achievements, Sun's going out of the palace may hurt his reputation.A sage of benevolence, a special gift of marriage, Zhen Baoyu, the second son of Zhen Yingjia's descendant of Jiangning weaving, is outstanding in appearance, taught by a famous teacher, and is about the same age as Sun's daughter, so it can be called a good match.It is a beautiful thing for Zhen Baoyu and Sun Qing to get married within a year.

Sun Qing knelt down to accept the imperial decree, and it was like five thunderbolts, and before he could get up to send Dai Quan away, he passed out on the ground.On the same day, Sun Qing was sent out of the palace by the palace people, and handed over to Mrs. Sun Yu and Grandma Sun together with the imperial decree.

In this dynasty, the marriage was bestowed by a sage, and the consent of the parents and elders of both parties to be married had to be obtained first. Giving marriage is just a kind of decency.But Concubine Zhen's bad deeds, the Zhen family and the Sun family have ghosts in their hearts, they have been having trouble sleeping and eating for a long time, even if this imperial decree came suddenly, how could the two families dare to resist the decree?It is unavoidable for the Sun family to accept the imperial decree and reward, and kneel down to thank the holy grace.Also, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the father-in-law sent by the sage went south with the Sun family. They were originally going to the Zhen family to give a marriage.Seeing this situation, Mrs. Sun Yu knew that this marriage would be rejected even if it was delayed.

On the boat going south, Sun Qing woke up from illness, Mrs. Sun Yu and Grandma Sun loved and regretted at the same time, but because they were accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites and father-in-law sent by the sage, Grandma Sun could only swallow how many tears she had. Don't even dare to cry.

Mrs. Sun Yu thought about what Imperial Concubine Zhen said at the palace banquet that year: If the daughter of the Lin family is compatible with our family's Baoyu, it is also from the heart, and there is no medicine for regret in the world.
