Daiyu of the Red Chamber owes no one

In a few days, Huo Lian was punished for spying on the female layman in the Muni courtyard, and the news that he was blinded by the Bodhisattva spread all over the city.This Huo Lian has never had a good reputation, and now many people secretly say that he deserves it, but he dare not let the people of Nan'an Palace hear it.

However, it was said that Huo Lian had suffered such a serious injury, which brought him an advantage: it turns out that there are many nobles in the capital, and there are also a lot of daring dandies.Therefore, Huo Lian was not the only one of the unworthy disciples who went to the Muni Academy to scold him, but now that Huo Lian's injury scared many people, no one stepped forward to scold him.And because of the reputation of the Bodhisattva appearing in the Muni Temple, the incense became more and more prosperous, and there was an endless stream of pilgrims who went to offer incense.

Since Daiyu's wedding, although only one girl from the Lin family has left the court, everyone in the family feels that the house has become much deserted, and they are not used to it.This day Lin Ruhai got off work, and he also stood in front of the Huilan Pavilion for a while before returning to his room.This Jia Min had heard that the master had come back a long time ago, and stood in front of the girl's yard for a while, and couldn't help smiling knowingly, before taking Lin Ruhai's homely clothes to change with him.

When changing clothes, Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "This Liu Fu, Mr. Liu, doesn't continue to talk, and there is no one to host at home, but today he asked me to ask you, have you ever found out which girl is compatible with Brother Lian, so I can tell you Brother Lian, I already agreed. I told you to be careful, but I dare not guarantee that you will succeed. You have seen this brother Lian before. He is not as handsome as him in a hundred. If you don't want to fight cocks or run dogs, you have to look carefully, rather than being close, you have to find something that both parties are satisfied with."

Jia Min listened and said with a smile: "I remember Brother Lian is also eighteen this year, why haven't you kissed him yet? Brother Lian is a good person, I'm afraid that the lady with all four corners, who is suitable for her age, has already kissed her." ;No, I am reluctant to tell him. Besides, Master Liu is a close minister of the emperor, and there is no mistress in the family, and the father and son are military officers. I wonder if I can be a lady of a scholarly family. Let me try. .”

Lin Ruhai listened, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured and try your best to find it. I have told Master Liu about these things. What Master Liu meant is that as long as the girl is good-natured and knowledgeable, everything else comes next. As for Brother Lian I didn't say kiss, I'm afraid it was delayed because there is no mistress at home."

Jia Min listened, nodded yes, and said again: "Why hasn't Brother Lian come back today? He often stays with Brother Lian, so I'm afraid to ask him, but I should first guess what Brother Lian likes. "After a word, the woman outside replied, "Master Sui is back."

Lin Feng greeted his parents first when he entered the house, and then waved his hand to screen off the servants, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

Seeing Lin Feng like this, Jia Min and his wife thought it was funny, and said, "I haven't changed my good clothes, so what else do I have to say? I'm so anxious, I'm not happy to change my clothes first, and I can't say anything about a few more cars." over."

After hearing this, Lin Feng curled his lips and said: "Father and mother don't know, His Royal Highness, Brother Li and Brother Liu, we usually get along well together like that, but when there are really big things, they leave me alone. Today I just Knowing that they did a big thing before, they hid it from me so tightly, and only let me know today, and there are also brothers-in-law who do this, hum."

When Jia Min saw Lin Feng pretending to be angry, he thought it was funny, and said with a smile: "What major event has not been accomplished, making our brother Feng so angry?"

Lin Feng poured another cup of tea and drank it before leaving the palace banquet. On the day of the palace banquet, how did the three princes bring only a few confidant guards and a palace man who was good at playing dan roles to the Muni courtyard? How did they plan to teach Huo Lian a lesson? Once, by accident, Huo Lian suddenly turned around and told how he was blinded by Liu Xianglian in one eye, as if he had seen it too.

At the end, Lin Feng said again: "A rascal like Huo Lian is not even considered a dude in terms of status. He is just a bully who bullied a lady from a scholarly family. He deserves what happened today. Besides, he is more polite. Peeping at people, hurting his dishonest eyes now, is really reasonable. I hate that His Royal Highness and his party usually say so well, but this time they don't take me. "

It was rumored in the capital that Huo Lian had suffered retribution, and Lin Ruhai and his wife guessed that someone was behind the scenes to fuel the flames, otherwise the news would not have spread so quickly.The husband and wife only found out today that Huo Lian injured his eyes. It was originally caused by the prince. If the prince wanted to spread the news of Huo Lian's retribution, it would have been extremely easy to do.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min looked at each other, and Jia Min smiled at Lin Feng again: "I don't want to take you there for any serious matter, it's for your own good. How old are you and how much skill are you? If you retreat a little slower, let Huo Lian and others have seen it, and how many disturbances will be caused by nothing."

Hearing what Huo Lian and others found out, Lin Feng laughed again and said, "The Huo family didn't really suffer from being dumb, so they thought it was retribution from gods and ghosts. They sent someone to send Huo Lian to the imperial hospital. On the one hand, they asked people to track down the events of that day. Instead, they found a pair of footprints and chased them all the way. Unexpectedly, they chased them into Huo Lian's own yard. When the news spread, more and more people believed in retribution .”

Lin Ruhai and his wife had been in contact with people from Fengmen in the early years, and they also knew that Li Han was Li Longtou's student. After hearing this, the couple naturally guessed that it was Li Han who caused suspicion.So the two asked Lin Feng, and they guessed right.

Lin Ruhai and his wife laughed at the fact that some teenagers were narrow-minded in doing things, but Huo Lian deserved what he deserved, and since then Miaoyu, Tanchun, and Xichun have been spared from being scolded by others, which is a surprise.Just as he was talking, Jia Min rolled his eyes and said, "Master, what you said just now, isn't it the best of both worlds now?"

Lin Ruhai understood after hearing this, and said with a smile that he really had both.So the husband and wife asked Lin Feng again: "Brother Lian, you study with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all day long, and often practice riding and archery with Brother Lian of the Liu family. what kind?"

After hearing this, Lin Feng laughed and said, "I've heard that before. Brother Liu said he wants to find someone who is stunning."

Jia Min also smiled when she heard this and said, "Oh, Brother Lian is so outstanding, if you find another one who is outstanding, the children you will raise in the future will not be so neat." After speaking, he smiled at Lin Ruhai and said: "I will go visit tomorrow. To find out, the master will also ask Mrs. Liu. If Mrs. Su agrees, let's find someone to match, if not, then just keep quiet."

When Lin Feng heard Mrs. Su's words, he also clapped his hands and said: "Why didn't I expect that I met Sister Su when I was young, but she is stunning, and she is also suitable for Brother Liu. I will ask him tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Jia Min glared at him and said: "You are a good man, you also said these things? Even if you make friends with Lian Geer again, I don't think you should come out and say these things. Don't make it public. , we need both parties to make an agreement in private, so we can find someone to tell the matchmaker to hire and not invite gossip."

Lin Feng listened and nodded hurriedly.He laughed again and said: "That's really good. The former sister Su was wronged, so didn't Brother Liu vent his anger on her? I'm afraid this marriage is God's will." The family wentssip again and parted ways.It is agreed that we will only wait until tomorrow morning, and the husband and wife will ask in two places.

He also said that the next day, Jia Min got up and washed up before going out, but he heard that Grandma Zhen Youshi from Ningguo Mansion had come.Jia Min ordered someone to come in, and at the same time ordered the outside steward not to set up horses for the time being.

After the Lin family returned to Beijing, because of Jia Wang's relationship, they didn't like to associate with the second room of the Rongguo Mansion, and because of the bad family style of the Ningguo Mansion, they didn't have much contact with the Ningguo Mansion.But because the Ningguo Mansion had never done anything to the Lin family, the Three Festivals and Two Shou were also moving around.Jia Min thought to herself: Why is Zhen's daughter-in-law here at this time?While already in the hall, You Shi came in and saluted Jia Min.

Jia Min gave way to his seat, and Youshi sat down after thanking him, chatted for a while, asked his uncle and aunt well, and then said: "Today, my nephew and daughter-in-law came to ask my aunt for something. My natal family has a Sister, looks the most romantic sign. Now she is eighteen years old. Our uncle thinks that it is suitable for the son of General Liu's family, but no one agrees. So I think that my uncle and General Liu are the most familiar, I'm afraid that it is most appropriate for my aunt to come forward."

When Youshi said this, he also blushed.Youshi is just Jia Zhen's continuation, and it was not a big family.In her previous life, both of Liu Xianglian's parents died, and she hung out with a bunch of dandies all day long. She was nothing but a libertine, and it would be too much to say that Third Sister You was reluctant.In this life, not only Liu Xianglian's father is a close minister of the emperor, but he himself has been promoted and has been appointed a fifth-rank military officer. He is not worthy of the third sister You.

After Jia Min heard this, although she didn't show it on the face, she was slightly taken aback: This Ningguo Mansion has a bad family style, who in the whole capital doesn't know it?People say behind their backs that Ningguo Mansion is clean only by the two stone lions at the gate, so you have to inquire carefully about this girl's character.And just now when Caizhen's daughter-in-law was talking, she blushed. I don't know what's weird about this girl.

So Jia Min smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law is neat, I'm afraid this girl must be neat. This marriage is a good thing for two surnames. You must know the basics before you can get along with others. Your uncle yesterday And I just thought of a girl who has all four corners and knows everything about her, and Brother Lian is a perfect match, and she is about to talk about it. It’s not like Brother Zhen’s daughter-in-law is talking about a girl again today. She is so obedient, and I blame Brother Lian for being outstanding. , There are hundreds of daughters in a family, but his family has sons."

When Youshi heard that Jia Min was also going to propose marriage for Liu Xianglian, she thought that the girl introduced by the Lin family must be good, and couldn't help feeling anxious.It turns out that Liu Xianglian's future in this life is far from comparable to that of her previous life, and she has never been in a few scenes, but five years ago, Liu Xianglian played in Lai Shangrong's house, and when Liu Fu beat her back, Third Sister You was also in the attic .

Jia Zhen's father and son disregarded human relations and fooled around with the second sister You and the third sister You every day. Now that the third sister You is getting older, she thinks about her life and thinks of Liu Xianglian who was glimpsed on the stage back then. Take out Zhenlie's money, and don't let Jia Zhen and his son get close.That's all, Jia Zhen and his son don't mess with her any more, they only hang out with Second Sister You.But Third Sister You still thinks it's not enough, she makes a lot of noise every day, overturning the table and twisting materials.

Even if Third Sister You is a pure and clean girl, her family status and foundation are not worthy of Liu Xianglian in this life. She is just wishful thinking when she says this.The birth of Jia Zhen and his son allowed her to keep her arguing, but she also thought about the friendship between Liu Fu and Lin Ruhai, so she asked Mrs. You to come to Lin's mansion to ask Jia Min.

But it was said that Mrs. You had heard the words of the Lin family talking about Liu Xianglian's marriage, and said with a smile: "I don't know whose girl my aunt is talking about for Mr. Liu? The marriage between the left and the right has not been completed, and the engagement has not been heard. Can't we talk about it? I don't believe in comparing appearance and appearance, who is better than my sister. Aunt, you haven't seen it, our third sister is really a character."

After hearing this, Jia Min thought to herself: Come on, Brother Lian and Sister Su are really a pair of people, and the master has already gone to ask Mr. Liu today. If Mr. Liu is settled, I didn't even ask here. Do you not offend people for nothing?So Jia Min also said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law Zhen's words are true, but your uncle went out today and went to ask Mrs. Liu, but I rejected the other side's agreement. Therefore, the daughter-in-law of Zhen's daughter-in-law again Well, I dare not agree."

Youshi wanted to ask Jia Min which girl he wanted to talk about, but Jia Min said something that hadn't been decided yet, fearing that it would hurt the reputation of the two children.Youshi couldn't, so he had to return without success.After delaying for half a day, Jia Min simply ate lunch before going to Su's house.After a few gossips, Jia Min said what he wanted.

Liu Xianglian and Lin Zhen are good friends. When Mrs. Su Fan came to visit the Lin family, several young masters have met each other. Wei Ruolan and Chen Yejun are not outstanding, but when it comes to appearance, Liu Xianglian is another top notch.Moreover, the population of the Liu family is simple, and Liu Xianglian is motivated, so Mrs. Su is naturally satisfied.I also feel that Liu Xianglian is good-looking, and standing with her Su'er is really a talent.

Liu Fu was the commander of the Second Rank Imperial Guard Army, so he was considered to be at the same level as Su Fan.But because literature is the most important thing in this dynasty, Jia Min spoke very modestly, saying that he wondered if Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su disliked the Liu family as the family of generals.

However, Mrs. Su thought that Liu Xianglian's character and appearance had nothing to say, the child has made progress, and now the military officer of the fifth rank is earned by her own ability, how can she be disgusted?And listen to what Su Su said, that is, there is only one princess and concubine in the palace of His Royal Highness, and no second person has ever been released.Mrs. Su thought that people should be divided into groups, since Liu Xianglian was highly valued by the crown prince, only Xiao Xiao has this unique character, and the girls of other families would say that he is a blessing.Therefore, Mrs. Su Fan is willing, she is only worried about whether Su Su is willing.

Jia Min laughed and said: "Whether Su'er is willing or not, I will know later. I just ask Mr. Su if he is willing. After all, there is no mistress in the Liu family. Su'er was afraid that she would be the head of the house in the past. Are you willing?" Su'er has worked hard. Let me say this first, Brother Lian is really outstanding in everything, but he is not very good at studying, if Su'er dislikes him, just pretend that I have never been here today."

Mrs. Su Fan said to herself: "Our master should agree to this matter, but in my opinion, the master is also willing. As for Su'er's dislike of Brother Lian, don't say anything. Why do you dislike people?" Su Su has a lively personality, and Jia Min also knows it.However, the second part of Mrs. Su Fan's sentence was obviously joking, she said that Su Su was not good, but her face was full of arrogance.

It was decided on this end, Mrs. Su Fan sent someone to invite Su Su.When Su Su heard that Mrs. Shangshu was here to say goodbye to her, she blushed with shame and stomped away.

Seeing Su Su's shyness, Jia Min felt more and more that he and Liu Xianglian were a couple, so he said to Mrs. Su Fan: "Our master went to ask Mr. Liu today. I will know what Mr. Liu means when I go back today. This matter was originally not in a hurry. After Mrs. Su asked Mr. Su, if Mr. Su also felt good, we invited the official media to talk about it. If one party disagrees, we will not make it public, so as not to damage the reputation of the two children. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Su Fan nodded her head, and thanked Mrs. Shangshu for her kindness, and personally sent Jia Min out.

When Jia Min returned home, Lin Ruhai had already returned.Liu Fu was so happy when he heard that the Lin family wanted to talk to Liu Xianglian about the lady of the scholarly family.Lin Ruhai and his wife originally thought that this was the end of the matter, but they didn't want to hear a reply from the Su residence for several days.

So when it came to the Lantern Festival, because there were two new young concubines in the palace this year, Empress Huo specially graciously invited a group of middle-aged ladies to the palace to enjoy the lanterns, and the guests were nothing more than friends of Daiyu and Princess Qiongjun.Because Yuanxiao entered the palace to enjoy the lanterns and posted the post on the day of the palace banquet, Su Su insisted on waiting for Yuanxiao to meet Daiyu and ask Liu Xianglian's character before deciding whether to accept this relationship.Although Su Fan and his wife were satisfied with Liu Xianglian, they loved Su Su even more, so it was up to her.

On the day of Lantern Festival, Su Su entered the palace, and Daiyu was very happy.The two talked for a long time, Su Su turned her eyes again, and whispered in Daiyu's ear if she could screen out the palace servants.The palace people in the East Palace were carefully selected by the crown prince, and they listened to Daiyu's instructions very much, so Daiyu just waved her hand, and everyone retreated.

Fortunately, Su Su was lively, even if it was such an important matter as a kiss, she dared to inquire for herself. Although her face was blushing, she did not hesitate to tell Jia Min about Liu Xianglian for her.At the end, he said: "I heard that Mr. Liu and His Highness the Crown Prince are the most acquainted with Brother Lun. Now, it is inconvenient for you to ask Brother Lun, but to ask the Prince for me. What is the character of this Liu Xianglian?"

After hearing this, Daiyu scratched Su Su's face lightly with her fingers, and said with a smile, "Don't be ashamed, do you even inquire about such things?"

However, Su Su rolled her eyes, with indescribable agility, and said as a matter of course: "This important marriage matter is related to a lifetime, so I have to find out clearly. If I don't know you, it's fine that His Royal Highness is not familiar with Mr. Liu. I have something to ask, why don't you ask first?"

Daiyu nodded after hearing this, and said, "That's reasonable. You've come here today. You don't need to inquire. This is really a good marriage. If you refuse to marry Mr. Liu, I'm afraid it will be against God's will." Mr. Liu originally reported a lot of injustice for you, why don't you agree with him?"

Su Su didn't know the inside story, and after hearing this, she felt inexplicable, so she said: "This girl, why is she talking so crazy after becoming a princess?"

Daiyu laughed again and said: "I said you should marry, of course I have my reasons. If you don't marry your benefactor, who else will you marry?" So Daiyu taught Huo Lian the prince and his party on the day of the palace banquet, how did it happen by chance? Tell Liu Xianglian to blind Huo Lian in one eye.At the end, Daiyu said again: "Look, isn't this a destiny in the dark? Then Huo Lian just took a peek at you from a distance, and Mr. Liu blinded him in one eye. Besides him, you still have to go Where can I find someone who will protect you even more?"

Liu Xianglian is very good-looking and has a good reputation. Su Su has heard of it, but Su Su thinks that the appearance is given by her parents, and the white-faced son may not be good, so she doesn't take it to heart.After hearing Daiyu's story about Liu Xianglian beating Huo Lian, Su Su couldn't help her heart beat faster, feeling a little strange.

After the Lantern Festival, all ministries and yamen had to go back to work again. Seeing that the Su family hadn't replied for a week, Liu Fu thought to himself: It's not uncommon for a scholarly family to look down on a military general's family, so he left the matter alone.When I got off work, I went to find Lin Ruhai, and was about to say that if the Su family refused, then don't force him, and asked Mrs. Lin and Lian Er to pay more attention.

But when Lin Ruhai saw him, he said, "I'm looking for Mrs. Liu." He was the first to say congratulations, but it turned out that the Su family had accepted the marriage.
