Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Besides, Daiyu, since she and Concubine Rong have to handle the drafting together, she has been in the palace frequently these days. Because it is more convenient for Kangxi to take care of these affairs in the palace, she still arranged for Daiyu to live in Kunming. Ning Gong.Seeing Kangxi like this, Daiyu had no choice but to stay in Kunning Palace first, but she didn't complain about Kangxi all over her heart.Fortunately, Kangxi made a decree not to enter Kunning Palace at will to disturb Daiyu's purity, otherwise Daiyu might never have peace in Kunning Palace.

Today, Daiyu managed to help Concubine Rong deal with some draft matters, and she was resting in the Kunning Palace with her eyes closed, but Qingwen came in at this time, saying that it was Lin Wenfu who had entered the palace.When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, since Lin Wenfu gave him to her uncle Huang, she no longer needed to go to the palace to work as an errand.And I gave him an order to teach Jia Lan two years of riding and archery in Jia's house, why did he come to the palace at this time?So he said, "Call him in." After hearing this, Qingwen led Lin Wenfu in.

After Lin Wenfu came in and saw Daiyu, he knelt down and saluted Daiyu: "Lin Wenfu, one of Siwen's servants, has seen the princess." Lin Wenfu was one of Siwen's servants. Although I had never seen it before I came here, I had heard it from Lin Ruhai.Because of this, Daiyu was not surprised. She only asked Lin Wenfu to get up and asked, "Didn't I ask you to go to Jia's house to teach Lan'er riding and archery? Why did you come into the palace?" Lin Wenfu had another purpose in going to Jia's mansion, which was to see if the iron coupons of Danshu were really hidden in Jia's mansion, but there were so many eyes and ears in the palace, Daiyu would never tell this.

Lin Wenfu said: "Returning to the princess, my subordinates have been in Jia's residence for many days, teaching Master Lan riding and archery every day with great care. It is said that Master Lan is also very talented and willing to work hard, so the progress is very fast. It's just that the subordinates found out that for Young Master Lan, the mansion was decent on the surface, but in fact they didn't care. I just took advantage of the few days when the palace was drafted, the guards were transferred, and the emperor ordered his subordinates to enter the palace to report to the princess."

After hearing this, Daiyu ordered Chunxian to say, "Chunxian, go get some of the best four treasures of the study." Chunxian was careful, and immediately understood what Daiyu meant, and quickly took the four study treasures and put them on the table. , and then stood aside.I saw Lin Wenfu go up and write the sixteen words on a piece of rice paper, "A pillow of yellow beams, golden chickens and frost, midnight and three o'clock, women follow their husbands."Daiyu waited for Lin Wenfu to finish writing, read it carefully, and said, "I understand." Then she asked Lin Wenfu, "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Lin Wenfu smiled evilly and said, "Princess Mo Ruo rewarded them with a favor?" Daiyu thought for a while and said, "That's the case, that's also good." So she went to the imperial study to see Kangxi, explained the reason, and then offered a favor Decree: "Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Princess Yushuhui of Gulunchen was depressed because she missed her relatives at home. Because Rongguo Mansion is the home of the princess' uncle, she was specially allowed to return to Rongguo Mansion to visit relatives for three days. Let’s talk about sisterhood! In two days, everyone in Jia’s mansion is going to pick up Princess Feng. Here you go.”

When the imperial decree arrived, everyone in Jia's mansion suddenly felt that the scenery was boundless. In the past, it was only three or two hours for concubines to visit their relatives. Now Daiyu's visitation was allowed for three days. It can be seen that Daiyu is very much favored by the emperor. If Daiyu is flattered Yu, maybe the emperor loves Wujiwu, and even brings them along with him. Even if he can't be as powerful as the Tong family with the "Tong Banchao", he can be extremely rich.So they all went to Jiamu's room to flatter her and say all the good things about Jiamu and Daiyu.Although Mrs. Wang was not angry, she had to endure her anger for a while, and Jia Mu listened to it and benefited from it.

Mrs. Xing said to Jiamu: "Princess is really blessed. I'm afraid no one has ever experienced such glory. I heard that historians were also moved to Beijing by the emperor. I think they want to reuse them. Maybe it's because of the princess's favor." Mother Jia couldn't help being touched when she heard this.Now it is impossible for Daiyu to marry Baoyu, but it is not bad for her grandniece Xiangyun to marry Baoyu.The Shi family is his natal family, although it does not have the wealth and power of the Lin family, but the foundation is still there, and his nephew Shi Ding is a general, and also holds a certain amount of real power, so he should not be underestimated.Xiangyun grew up by his side from a young age, and he knows his roots and backgrounds, so he can handle it after marriage, and Baoyu likes it too, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Thinking of this, Mother Jia smiled unconsciously: "That's right. Although my nephew said two years ago that the emperor would move him to Beijing, there has been no movement. Now that the princess visits her relatives, he I just moved to Beijing, so it can be seen that the princess is extremely blessed." Then he glanced at the sisters Sanchun and Baoyu, and said, "I haven't seen that child Yun'er for two years, and I don't know what happened now. How about taking her over to have fun for two days, since she is only one year younger than the princess, I think we will get along very well with the princess."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt a "thud" in her heart. She always felt that Jia Mu's move must have a deep meaning, so she thought about it carefully in her heart, and then understood what Jia Mu meant, and couldn't help scolding Jia Mu in her heart, "old fox ".That girl Xiangyun, to tell the truth, she doesn't like her, she chatters nonchalantly, like a kid, and loves to pester Baoyu very much, if Xiangyun and Daiyu get along well, What should I do if I directly ask that Hu Meizi for a marriage, that Hu Meizi is now a princess, and I have to obey the decree, but let Baochai be wronged as a concubine?No, she must not let this happen.Thinking of this, she thought about it in her heart, and vowed to destroy the impression of the two of them and make them incompatible.

However, no matter what Mrs. Wang thinks, she still has to redecorate the whole mansion according to Jia Mu's wishes, especially the Jinxia Pavilion where Daiyu lived before, and has to add a lot of new and elegant things Because the princess visits relatives, and Daiyu holds the power of drafting, many people will come to the door, so I think it is necessary to prepare a three-day banquet, and although Mrs. Wang is heartbroken, she has to make arrangements.

Two days later, an imperial decree came from the palace, saying that the emperor was afraid that Daiyu would forget to eat because she was so happy to see her sisters, so she used her breakfast and went to Rongguo Mansion.After hearing this, Jia's mother and others all had some breakfast in the upper room, and then they all dressed up according to their grades and knelt to greet them at the gate, while Baoyu and Sanchun sisters and others had no jobs, so they all stayed in the room. Waiting in the inner courtyard.

After a long while, when everyone felt that they could not hold on any longer, Fang saw Feng Jia and guards of honor coming to Jia's mansion from afar. Although it seemed simple, it was actually arranged according to the queen's rank, especially Daiyu. Beside her, apart from Qingwen and Chunxian, there are two other female officials wearing regular second-rank costumes, while Daiyu is wearing a bright yellow flag dress and sitting in the Luan carriage. Through the bead curtain, Daiyu's bright eyes White teeth, like a fairy concubine.With Qingwen's support, Daiyu got out of the Luan carriage, saw Jiamu and others kneeling on the ground, and said, "Excuse me."

Only then did Jia Mu and the others stand up, and hurriedly welcomed Daiyu in again, and it took a long time to arrange everything in a hurry.At this time, Jia Mufang smiled at Daiyu and said, "Princess, don't blame me. It's the first time the people in the house welcome Princess Fengjia, so I'm a little nervous." Daiyu listened, smiled lightly, and said, "It's okay." Don't you see the old sisters in the mansion?" Jia's mother said: "The foreign family has no job, so I dare not enter without permission." After hearing this, Daiyu laughed and said, "It's all right, let's announce it. I came here this time only because I missed the mansion. Sister, so I begged Uncle Huang to come back and talk about the past with all the sisters." Mother Jia nodded and said yes, because she ordered the Sanchun sisters and Xiangyun to be brought in together.

Sister Sanchun and Xiangyun came in and stood in front of Daiyu without saying a word.Because it was the first time Daiyu saw Xiangyun, she didn't know her, so she asked, "I don't know who this sister in red clothes is?" Seeing the question, Xiangyun saluted and said, "My servant Xiangyun has seen the princess. When Daiyu heard about it, she knew it must be Shi Xiangyun, the daughter of the late great cousin Shi Nai, so she said, "Excuse me." Then she said to Jia Mu, "Sister Yun looks very clever." Then He also ordered Qingwen to present the gift, but it turned out to be a silk phoenix hairpin inlaid with rubies, a unicorn wreath with emerald gold dots, and a pair of jadeite bracelets made of ice, all of which are rare objects in the palace. .

Xiangyun thanked her, and when she saw the unicorn, she couldn't help but screamed out. She was a very straightforward person, so she didn't care about the eyes of everyone looking at her, and said in surprise: "Why did this unicorn send you off with Sister Bao?" My unicorn is so similar, but this one seems to be bigger and more literary." Seeing Xiangyun uttering such words in spite of others, Mrs. Wang hurriedly shouted at Xiangyun: "In front of the princess, girl Yun , how can you be so rude? Hurry up and back away." Mrs. Wang said this because she was really flustered. It turned out that after Mrs. Wang knew what Jia Mu was thinking, she wholeheartedly wanted to destroy Daiyu and Xiangyun's relationship. However, after much deliberation, I couldn't think of any good idea, so I went to Baochai.In her opinion, Baochai is not only her future daughter-in-law, but also a think tank beside her. She even relies more on Baochai than on Sister Feng.

After Baochai heard about Mrs. Wang's intentions, she only smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry. As the saying goes: 'Money can make ghosts turn the clock.' Hearing what my aunt said, this historian often asks this girl Yun to come to this house. , it must be because of the lack of tightness in the mansion. If this is the case, my aunt will just wait for that girl Yun to come, and just give her two pieces of gold and silver jewelry casually. After all, that girl is stingy. Seriously, even if the princess is sealed now, she probably won't bring out any good things to reward that girl Yun. As long as the things my aunt gives overwhelm that girl, I think that girl Yun won't like that girl."

After listening to Mrs. Wang, she felt that Baochai's words were reasonable, but she was 1 unhappy when she asked her to take out something to give Xiangyun, so she pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Although it is true, but for you Big sister's management in the palace, plus that Hu Meizi is coming to the mansion to visit her relatives, I have already pawned everything that can be pawned, how can there be anything good for that Yun girl!"

After hearing this, Baochai said, "Since that's the case, I still have two things here. They were small gadgets, but they are rare, but they are not worth anything. It's better to wait for that girl Yun to come, and I'll give them to you." That's it, girl Yun." Mrs. Wang heard that Baochai said she was a senior, and wanted to keep it for herself, but she heard Baochai said it was worthless, so she gave up her thoughts and said that she would just do what Baochai said.

In the end, Mrs. Wang didn't expect that what Baochai gave collided with what Daiyu gave, and what she didn't expect was that Xiangyun would yell out directly regardless of others, so she was naturally anxious, so she yelled like this come out.

Seeing Mrs. Wang like this, Chunxian knew that there must be something hidden in it, because she said: "Wang Shuren, you are so brave. The princess is here. How should Miss Smith have the final say on her own? How dare you go overboard?" The eunuch: "Pull her down and beat her twenty boards!"

When Mrs. Wang heard that she was going to be spanked, she was extremely angry, and was about to retaliate, but she heard a coquettish shout: "Wait a minute!" If you want to know who came and what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter.
