Little Lady of the Red Chamber

The carriage went all the way to the outskirts of Beijing, and stopped in front of a courtyard, Daiyu got out of the carriage with puzzled eyes and followed Yuan Rui.Built against the mountain, with a handsome style, Daiyu looked up and secretly praised in her heart, the owner here must be a person of great style.

When the two got out of the carriage, servants came up to meet them, leading the way, Daiyu followed through the long corridor, to the flower hall, the servants retreated but the master did not come.Daiyu turned around and looked at Tu Yuanrui, "Who is the owner here?"

Tu Yuanrui smiled slightly, "You'll know later!" But he didn't say anything, and a maid brought tea.Not long after waiting, a girl in blue came in and greeted the two with a smile, "I have seen His Royal Highness, this is the Imperial Concubine! Maid Caiwei has met His Royal Highness!"

"Miss Caiwei, you don't need to be too polite. I wonder if Your Highness is free?" Tu Yuanrui also asked politely in his words.

"His Highness asked the servant girl to invite the concubine to go, but the prince is waiting here!" Caiwei replied.

Tu Yuanrui nodded in response, "I'm fine, please trouble Miss Caiwei." Then he turned to Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, go with Miss Caiwei! I'll wait for you here."

Although Daiyu still doesn't understand the reason, she also understands that Tu Yuanrui probably made some agreement with the owner here, although she doesn't like him to make his own decisions, but it is not easy to refute his face in front of outsiders.And let him be so cautious, the master who wants to come here is also very human.Daiyu felt a little curious in her heart, so she followed his wishes and smiled at Caiwei: "Miss Lao Caiwei leads the way!"

Daiyu went with Caiwei and tried to test the identity of the owner along the way, but unfortunately Caiwei had a very good attitude and a tight tone, so Daiyu could only hide her doubts for the time being.

Going around the rockery pavilion to the side of a waterside pavilion, Caiwei stopped and smiled at Daiyu: "Your Highness, I would like to ask the concubine to stay here later. If the concubine is not interested in waiting, there is a guqin here, and I can hear that the concubine is good. Qin, you might as well play a song." Then Fushen bowed and retired, leaving Daiyu here alone.

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, she failed the test, but she became interested, and she didn't know who it was, such a big air.Daiyu walked slowly to the qin in the water pavilion, her eyes fixed, and she stretched out her hand to pluck the strings.The surprise in his eyes could not be concealed, it turned out to be Jiao Wei.Putting the famous piano so casually, it seems that the owner here is also an extremely arrogant person, Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a mischievous look in her eyes.She looked up and looked around, no matter what, since people have this attitude, she is not afraid.Instead, he sat down in front of the piano, pondered for a while, and plucked the strings with his ten fingers.

The sound of the piano is indistinct, spreading to the distance through the water waves.Separated by a wall, in the exquisite pavilion, Caiwei was waiting on the side, and a silver-haired woman and a young girl were sitting on the stone bench.Hearing the sound of the piano, the girl listened carefully for a long time and turned to the old woman, "It sounds good, but it's nothing. Grandmother really wants to accept it?"

The old woman had an elegant face, but in her eyes were the vicissitudes and indifference accumulated by the years, "Yue'er doesn't feel good?"

Without waiting for the girl to answer, she said to herself, "I am at her age, but I have never experienced her." The old woman stood up, Caiwei hurriedly stepped forward to help, the girl Yueer still had a little dissatisfaction on her face, but she did not After speaking again, he just got up and supported the other side of the grandmother.

Daiyu was a bit reluctant to let go at the beginning, but later she was addicted to the sound of the piano and was not moved by external objects.

Until the end of the song, "It's towering and endless, and the silence is far away. I can't see how much you think at such a young age!" An old voice sounded from behind.Daiyu turned around until the master appeared here, she got up and turned to see the old woman and the young girl, she greeted with a smile, "I made madam laugh at a little insight, haven't you asked for the title of madam?"

The old woman raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard this, "Why, boy Rui didn't say anything?" Fu looked Fan Daiyu up and down and smiled, "Forget it, he thinks he's a trickster, after all, you should call me aunt! "

Great aunt!Daiyu was dumbfounded, yes, those who can be called His Highness must be members of the royal family.Among the three daughters of Taizong, the only one who is still alive today is the sister of Gaozong's compatriots, Princess Wenhui.

Thinking of this, Daiyu restrained herself and saluted, "Daiyu sees Princess Wenhui!"

"You have a sensitive mind, so get up! It's because my family doesn't need to be so polite!" Princess Wenhui said lightly.

Yue'er helped her grandmother to sit down, but she looked at Daiyu who was standing there from time to time, with curiosity in her eyes.Princess Wenhui ignored her granddaughter's petty gestures, and only asked Daiyu, "Daiyu is your baby name?"

"Yes!"

"Oh! Do you have a famous name?"

Daiyu frowned slightly and replied: "Not yet!" Naturally, she left her father's side when she was young and didn't take a real name, and later she married in a hurry, but no one mentioned it, but thinking about it now is wrong.

"Since I'm a teacher today, it's a good thing to give you a name as a teacher. Ran the fragrant grass, fluttering and smiling, and the vegetation is flourishing. How about Lin Ran?" Princess Wenhui said with a smile.

Dai Yufu thanked her with a salute: "I shouldn't have resigned from the kindness of the eldest princess, but I am sorry that Daiyu can't follow today's matter, and I have never thought about the matter of apprenticeship. Please forgive me, the eldest princess."

"Since you don't come to apprentice, what are you doing here?" Princess Wenhui was also a little displeased.

"My aunt and grandma, forgive me, but this matter is my fault!" Tu Yuanrui's voice suddenly came to mind, and Daiyu was taken aback and turned around to see him coming over at some point.Tu Yuanrui smiled at Daiyu, and Fang turned to Princess Wenhui to greet her.

"Yu'er, don't kowtow and serve tea to the aunt and grandma!" Tu Yuanrui urged Daiyu.

"But!" Daiyu still hesitated.

The appearance of the two of them came into view, Princess Wenhui waved her hand and said: "No need, you go back!"

"Grandmother, we have agreed." Tu Yuanrui said.

Princess Wenhui glanced at Tu Yuanrui with a half-smile, "I'll go back to the mansion when I get up tomorrow, and just let her come over the mansion every day. Just forget about serving tea."

Tu Yuanrui smiled and bowed his hands, "Yu'er was taught by Aunt Lao when she was young, Yuan Rui is here to thank you!"

"Forget it, but I don't dare to accept your boy's gift. Is Yu'er right? Tomorrow will come as soon as I remember." After speaking, he took his granddaughter and turned to leave the waterside pavilion.

Daiyu pulled Tu Yuanrui's sleeve and frowned and asked, "Brother Rui, what are you doing? Why did I ever want to worship the eldest princess as my teacher, and why didn't you tell me?"

"Yu'er, you are still young, and you should go to school. Aunt Chen is good, but she can't teach you after all. Aunt Wenhui is knowledgeable, not inferior to those great scholars. She is willing to teach you with her heart, and she is much better than others." According to the power of the Yong'an Palace, it is easy to invite a gentleman, but whoever is willing to teach a woman, even if he is willing to teach, has a different standpoint, especially if those people teach Daiyu some bad things, it is better not to good.He thought for a long time before making up his mind, and asked Princess Wenhui.

Tu Yuanrui took Daiyu back to the carriage, and then he talked to her about Princess Wenhui in detail.

"Princess Wenhui made great contributions to her grandfather's position, so she participated in political affairs in the first year of Tianqi. At that time, the Tiansheng Empress had just passed away, and no one in the court commented on it. Later, the emperor's grandfather passed away, and the emperor's uncle When he came to the throne, the emperor's uncle was only 16 years old at the time. Although he was not considered the young master, but because of the sudden departure of the emperor's grandfather, it was a little unstable. It was Princess Wenhui who came forward to calm down the court. After the emperor's uncle's throne was stabilized, she Just get away and stop asking. It’s been more than 30 years, so not many people remember it now. My aunt is not a woman who is willing to be mediocre, but she is also the smartest woman. But only my aunt can afford it and let it go." Tu Yuanrui's admiration for Princess Wenhui is not without reason.

Even Daiyu herself yearned for this eldest princess after hearing it. Her life has always been very simple, and she can imagine the waves of life just by listening to it.

In the end Daiyu was persuaded by Tu Yuanrui, but the next day she went to Princess Wenhui's mansion and did not mention the matter of apprenticeship anymore.Daiyu has been in the princess mansion for a long time, and she has become friendly with Princess Wenhui's granddaughter, Princess Yue. They are both young girls of the same age. also became intimate.

Time flies, three years passed in a blink of an eye, Daiyu was fourteen, and Jiji was only one year away.In the past three years, she studied with Princess Wenhui, and when she was free, she would gather with friends, Lan Qian, a girl from the Shou'anbo Mansion, Sun Yue, the granddaughter of Princess Wenhui, Chen Xiao from the Dingguo Mansion, Princess Changtai from the palace, and everyone. They often get together, and occasionally Shui Yun from Beijing Prince's Mansion will also participate.In the past few years, Daiyu has not been on good terms with her, but it is not too difficult, but the relationship has always been mediocre.

But this year, Shui Yun is finally going to get married, but her fiancé is Liu Mengran whom Dai Yu once met. When she first heard this letter, Dai Yu didn't quite believe it.But after thinking about it, it was other people's business, and it also had the things of the year, so she didn't want to say much, so she just asked Tu Yuanrui about the marriage in private, and made Tu Yuanrui laugh at her when she would do this Daiyu was so annoyed that she ignored her for two days, and went to live in Zhuangzi with Princess Chen.It was Chen Xiao's post that invited people back.

The sedan chair went in through the side door of Duke Dingguo's mansion, walked around the painted wall for a long time, and landed at the Yimen Gate.Zijuan Xueyan got off the sedan chair, hurried to the front sedan chair, raised the curtain of the sedan chair and helped Daiyu out.A group of people rushed to the door of the instrument, and Lan Qian who ran in front saw Daiyu with a smile and called out, "Sister Lin is here."

Daiyu smiled and said: "If I don't come, you may not know how to nag me, but everyone else has come?"

"They're all here, and you're the farthest left." Chen Xiao, who was following Lan Qian, answered with a smile, reached out and nodded Lan Qian and said, "You should slow down, sister Lin can still run away."

"Don't talk about her either, if Xi'er can listen, you can still talk about it." Daiyu stretched out her hand to hold Lan Qian and said with a smile.

The three talked and laughed and went inside, Chen Xiao was hosting a banquet in Huanhuayuan, at the moment Sun Yue was playing chess with Princess Changtai, and Shui Yun was watching the chess, seeing them coming in, Shui Yun got up to greet them.

It's not the first time Daiyu and Shui Yun have seen each other in these few years, so it's not surprising, they just greeted each other with a smile, but they were surprised that Shui Yun didn't stay at home preparing for marriage, so why did she run out.

Princess Changtai saw that the chess game was powerless, so she simply conceded defeat, threw the chess piece, got up and leaned against Daiyu, her hand was about to pinch Daiyu's face, Daiyu covered her face annoyed, "I didn't recruit you, And for what?"

Everyone already knew about the temperament of the two of them, but Shui Yun couldn't help explaining, "Yesterday, the palace mentioned her marriage again. It's not because I'm in a bad mood."

I don't know how to say it like this, Daiyu sighed and put her hand back and said: "If you want me to talk about this matter, it can't be delayed, Xi'er should plan earlier."

Princess Changtai is now eighteen years old, and she should get married wherever she goes. Even the princess of the royal family has no reason not to marry, no wonder the palace is in a hurry.Princess Changtai sneered when she heard the words, "So what if I don't want to marry, Shui Yun, you are going to marry yourself, so it's my business."

This is so true that even Daiyu didn't feel good after hearing it, and sure enough, Shui Yun's face turned red with anger, "I've become a nosy person, the Queen Mother has already made up her mind, how long can you delay it?"

Chen Xiao, the master, naturally came out to smooth things over at this time, and Dai Yu also persuaded Princess Changtai, "Master Shui is sincere to you, why should you be like this!"

Changtai's face was still calm, and after hearing this, he looked up at Daiyu and sneered, "She just feels sorry for me, but the acquaintance for so many years has been wasted, and I don't want to say it." , Daiyu was at a loss, and she wanted to ask again, but Princess Changtai didn't say anything.

Daiyu gathered with her friends at Duke Dingguo's mansion, and Tu Yuanrui was dragged by Prince Zhongshun to the mansion for a small gathering today.

Prince Zhongshun had a good show, and there was a lot of vocal music in the palace. Tu Yuanrui didn't have much interest in that, and just leaned on his seat to watch the fun.Seeing him like this, Zhongshun had to go up to talk and make him drink.

Besides him, there were Liu Mengran and Fang Xiucheng on the table, both of whom were very acquainted. Liu Mengran's wedding was approaching, so naturally he was ridiculed by everyone.

Fang Xiucheng said with a smile: "Mengran escaped from birth, if she is really recruited by Princess Changtai as a son-in-law, then the days will be over."

"You drink too much, don't say a few words." Tu Yuanrui squinted at him.

Zhongshun is the most troublesome, he sneered and said, "Xiucheng's words are not false, Changtai has such a temperament, who would dare to marry him. But Yuan Rui, if you just let your little wife be with Changtai like this, you won't be afraid of spoiling it." " Zhongshun put his hand on Tu Yuanrui's shoulder and said with a smile.

Tu Yuanrui clapped his hands, "If you think this mansion is too old, I'll change it for you." This is a warning.Zhongshun's face changed, "Yeah, I know, it's okay if I don't say it."

However, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he had other plans.Tu Yuanrui happened to be talking to Liu Mengran and had never seen him before, but he was accidentally tricked into a scheme.
