[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles

Listening to his old wife's nagging, Mr. Shen became upset for a while.Coming and going are all about her daughter's marriage, how can she understand her own thoughts.

When the old master of the Shen family was still there, he was considered one of the emperor's trusted servants, and the Shen family at that time was also prosperous.Otherwise, how could the Shen family's daughter marry Thirteenth Master as a side Fujin, and marry into the royal family? Even if it is a side Fujin, it depends on the family background.

But once the old man left, he would worry about it for three years.When he returned to the court, things changed and people changed, and he didn't even get a decent real shortage.Hanging in the yamen, not idle, not real, really hard.

What is the obsession with calligraphy, only he knows, half of it is to coax himself, and half is to coax others.There is always a cover for a poor official career, and others will praise him for his character.But it wasn't in vain that he became infatuated. At any rate, he hooked up with the third master and became a confidant.

Now that Master Ba is hopeless, Xinku is the son of a bitch, what else can he expect?The most qualified ones are undoubtedly the third master, the fourth master and the next fourteenth master.He has nothing to do on weekdays, so he thinks about these things.I have a good relationship with the third master. If he succeeds, it will be the best.

If it's the fourth master who succeeds, Prince Yong is serious and staid, and he's not easy to get close to.But he is really kind to the Thirteenth Master. If his daughter can marry into the Thirteenth Master's house, it will be like burying a dark thread.No matter how curved the line of saving the country is, as long as it works in the end.Before the grapes want to bear fruit, don't they have to put up a shelf?

If it is the fourteenth master, this master is not in the capital all year round, and he can't find a way to get close for a while, so he can be put aside for the time being.

Therefore, he supports his daughter's idea.Seeing the old wife's mouth opening and closing, which has not been closed yet, I can't help but get a terrible headache.

"I'm going to the study to practice calligraphy, if you can find someone better than elder brother Hongyun, then go for it." Master Shen walked away in a huff.

Mrs. Shen stood on the spot blankly, of course she knew that she couldn't find anyone better than elder brother Hongyun, if she were to be the regular wife, she wouldn't say a word.But a side room, what's so rare.What's more, Zhao Jia's family has made a name for themselves, and they almost pointed out the words "vain thinking" on their faces. If they continue to struggle, what good results will they have?Everyone knows about the trouble, and if you try to find a way, you really won't be able to get married.

As soon as Mr. Shen arrived at the study, his aides came over, secretly took out a piece of paper from his arms, his face glowed with excitement, and handed it to Mr. Shen, "My lord, do you have a look at this?"

"What is this, um, the words are good." Mr. Shen glanced casually, his mouth was faster than his brain, and after he finished speaking, his mind turned around, and he quickly closed the letter closer.

"This, this, this is... This is a serious crime of beheading. What do you want to do?" The handwriting of this letter is exactly the same as that of the emperor, but those who are familiar with the emperor's words and sentences can definitely tell that it is not written by the emperor.But imitating the emperor's handwriting is a serious crime. Master Shen's blood rushed to the top of his head, and he looked at his staff as if he wanted to kill someone.

"My lord, please back away from the left and right sides." The staff member lowered his head and quietly looked at the servants in the room.

It is true that no one can let others know, Master Shen made a gloomy face, and waved back and forth.

It wasn't until Lin Ruhai set up a good plan that he realized that the third elder brother had already fallen into a trap, and Master Shen helped him weave this trap.

He didn't believe that Mr. Shen had such a cleverness to come up with such an idea. After touching and touching, the people around Hongyun showed their signs.He silently helped Hong Yun erase the traces, and if someone followed this line in the future, they would never be able to catch Hong Yun.

Lin Ruhai was angry, but also a little happy, his beard curled up, and he didn't say the word "brat" after all.

In the blink of an eye, the new year came, and the people sent out by the Lin family began to collect them.Daiyu's dowry was also prepared in various ways, but Jia Min still felt that it was not enough, and always wanted to be perfect.

"Okay, if you add it up, it will be more than the dowry that the thirteen Fujin entered the door in those years." Lin Ruhai stopped it in time.

"How can it be the same? There are six sisters in Fujin's family, but Daiyu is the only one in our family." Jia Min said so, knowing in her heart that she is Daiyu's mother-in-law.

"Let's go in with the furniture in advance for those decorations, so as not to take advantage of it." Jia Min thought of a new idea.

"It's okay." Lin Ruhai suppressed a smile, thinking that her daughter was about to leave home, thinking about it, it felt like there was a corner missing in her heart, and no matter how she tried to make it up, she couldn't make it up.

The second day of the first lunar month was the day to go back to her natal family, and the Lin family of four went there in sedan chairs early in the morning.Jia Zheng warmly welcomed Lin Ruhai to the study, and Baochai accompanied Daiyu and Yingchun who returned to her natal home.

Yingchun was still as dumb as before, and she was still wearing the same dowry clothes. Baochai looked around calmly and knew that she was not doing well.Ask about the body as usual, and ask about the situation at home.She only said yes, but she couldn't say a word about the specific words.

Daiyu also knows Yingchun's temperament, she is not willing to change, no matter who she marries, it's just like this.But she is much more optimistic than Baochai, after all, it is better than marrying Sun Shaozu and dying at his hands.

When talking about Tanchun who married far away, everyone sighed.

"I don't know how she is doing now, she can't even communicate with her letters, and she can't even send something with her." Baochai said with emotion, quite like a sister-in-law.

"She is so capable, she can always find a way to live a good life." Yingchun finally said something.

Daiyu glanced at her sideways, no matter how capable a woman is, if she falls into the hands of a group of people with bad intentions, she will not be able to live a good life just because she thinks about it.If it is the other way around, such as welcoming the spring, no matter how easy the days are, if you deliberately don't want to live well, you can't live well.

"My sister-in-law is still planning to hold a banquet at home, and she will pick us up to play in the future." Baochai is also puzzled, how Daiyu and her sister-in-law can chat together.

"It's a good feeling. Let her post the post when the time comes, and let us see how she makes it up." Daiyu smiled when she mentioned Grandma Xue.It was when everyone was joking together, saying that Grandma Xue didn't know how to housekeeper, which annoyed her.He said that it would be fine for him to take care of such a large cottage, but it was nothing to take care of a house, so he immediately held a banquet and let them have a look.

"When I go back to my mother's house tomorrow, I will definitely bring the message with me." Baochai replied with a smile.

Looking up, I saw her peach blossom-like face. When she smiled, her eyes were clean, and there was nothing superfluous.It was as if grass had grown in her heart, growing crazily, scratching to the bottom of her heart, repeatedly.There are some words that I almost want to blurt out.

"Greetings to Second Grandma, Miss Cousin, and Auntie." Xiren came in with a tray. She had already combed the woman's hair, and a pair of opal earrings were dangling. thing.

"Second Master knew that Miss Biao and Auntie came back, so he specially asked the kitchen to add it. He said that Miss Biao, um, and Auntie love to eat." Kidney bean stuffed dumplings, Daiyu loved glutinous food for a while, and she liked this kind of dim sum very much. Even she herself forgot, unexpectedly, someone still remembered.

Daiyu pushed the kidney bean dumplings in front of Yingchun, "It must be what you like to eat, eat a few more, or you will disappoint the heart of Second Brother Bao."

Yingchun looked at everyone hesitantly, didn't dare to say anything, just obediently took the dumplings and ate them slowly.Looking at Xiren's smile, Baochai thought it was extremely disgusting.Baoyu has always held maids in his hands like treasures, and Xiren's promotion to concubine does not count, and he took two of the maids as roommates.All of them were so arrogant that they didn't take her young mistress seriously.

Daiyu took off a gold ring, "There are not many people here, I don't know about your wedding, let me make up for it." Xiren is always a considerate maid, and she often sees each other in the past, and making up a small thing is also a courtesy.

The attacker thanked Baochai for the reward, and stood behind Baochai in an orderly manner. Baochai knew that Baoyu must have asked her to inquire, and the back of the teeth was almost collapsed by her.

With the interruption of the attacker, Baochai couldn't say what he wanted to say.Otherwise, with this ear-reporting god, there will be trouble again.

But so what if you don't talk about it, according to the usual practice, before elder brother gets married, he always refers to the person who serves him.If you refer to a side Fujin with a good family background, it will be much more difficult than yourself.No matter how much Baoyu pampered these concubines, she was only a servant girl, and she could return to her original form with a deed of selling herself.

But what is Fujin, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the second wife.Thinking of this, Baochai suddenly felt that she was not so uncomfortable. The easiest thing to comfort people's hearts was that other people's misfortunes were indeed the worst.

When Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai met, it was another scene.Jia Zheng's face was full of red, he kept in mind the third master's confession, and wanted to win Lin Ruhai over for him.

"The day before yesterday, I had a casual relationship with my third elder brother. When I talked about the demeanor of Brother Ru Hai who was Tanhua Lang back then, I couldn't help but sigh. How many years have passed since then. There were still a few of your same age that day, and they all said that they hadn't been together for a long time. I thought about it. , This is also considered a blessing in the literary world, simply let someone be the host, and everyone will have a good time together. Wouldn’t it be fun to write poems and talk about the wind, flowers, snow and moon.”

Jia Zheng was cheerful, thinking that this move was not abrupt.

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, he was not surprised by Jia Zheng's attitude, this second brother-in-law was a person who baited for fame, so it was not surprising that he would speculate with the third elder brother.Surprisingly, the third elder brother moved very quickly, how long did the eighth elder brother fall down, and dragged Jia Zheng into his camp without making a sound.

Lin Ruhai clasped his hands, "It's been many years since I wrote poems and lyrics. I feel ashamed when I think about it. Now when I mention a pen, it's just a memorial and a statement. I don't know how to write a poem. I'm old and don't accept it. Can not be done."

"Brother Ruhai, you are welcome, Tanhualang back then, what a demeanor he was. I still remember a makeup reminder poem when we married Min'er. It was wonderful, wonderful." Lin Ruhai discussed poetry with him, and finally took out a scroll in a mysterious manner.

"It's the third elder brother's new work. Look at this poem. It's really apt." Jia Zheng unfolded it enthusiastically and spread it in front of Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai couldn't help nodding. All have real materials that can be obtained.

With his critical eyes, he has to admit that this painting and poem are rare masterpieces.However, he is no longer the Lin Ruhai he was when he was studying hard in the cold window, he would not start imagining the author's noble character just by relying on a painting, let alone assist him just because he has literary talents.Jia Zheng has been hanging around on errands all the time. He has not experienced the experience of the world, and still has a trace of the innocence of a sour literati.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai was still a little worried, the third elder brother had obviously fallen into the trap, and his second brother-in-law wouldn't have followed suit.

"The emperor doesn't like brothers who get too close to the courtiers. The second uncle should avoid suspicion." I still want to remind, but if he listens or not, he can only resign himself to fate.It's funny for Lin Ruhai to think about it, what kind of brains do people in Jia's family have, they choose wrongly once and choose wrongly again.Every time I avoid the luck of the correct answer, what kind of treasure is there to bet, can't I just stay at home?

Of course not, Jia Zheng waved his arms angrily, "My third elder brother and I are confidants, how can ordinary people understand it. Besides, we taste books, paintings, tea, and poems, and never involve government affairs."

That's because you can't get involved even if you want to, really don't want to get involved, why are you looking for me, Lin Ruhai complained silently in his heart, but on the surface he handed over his hands and admitted his mistake, "Second uncle, don't worry, I treat a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, No wonder, no wonder."

Well, when Jia Zheng woke up, he remembered what his purpose was, why he led him away from the topic, and if he wanted to turn around, it would be extremely difficult.

Xiren went back and told Baoyu that Miss Biao didn't eat a bite of the dumplings, so Yingchun ate them all.Baoyu's expression darkened, and he didn't know what it was like.Xiren then said, "I heard that Grandma Xue is going to hold a banquet after the fifteenth day, Miss Biao said she will definitely go."

Baoyu's eyes lit up, "I'll ask my uncle to post a post for me."

"Miss Biao is getting better and better. The buckskin boots she wears today are embroidered with a bunch of viburnum flowers on the side. They are gathered into one piece, and the stamens are inlaid with pearls. It is very beautiful. I will also give it to the second grandmother someday." Embroider a pair like this. Alas, look at your servant’s mouth, it’s already getting late, this servant will send you back to your room.” Xiren stood up and graciously went to help him.

"Since it's getting late, let's rest here today. I'm so tired of embroidering shoes, embroider a handkerchief for me, just use this pattern." Baoyu hugged the charming and soft waist while speaking.

Daiyu didn't know that the uppers of her shoes had been marked by someone's weight. Her feet were soaked in the bucket, and she was holding Grandma Xue's post in her hand, laughing while watching.Shanhuai has already started to learn how to recognize characters. From the first big one, it gradually shrinks to one big one. Now, it is not easy to squeeze a line of characters on a post.

Ulan Gege's post was placed in front of Grandma Xue, inviting her to go out to watch the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Grandma Xue’s post was on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, inviting everyone to see the green chrysanthemum. I heard that it is a new variety that has been cultivated with great effort. It has been kept in a greenhouse all the time.

For the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Fan family sent new lanterns early, and invited them to see the revolving lanterns at the gate of the Fan family.Daiyu couldn't help asking her, what a novelty, after listening to the heroic speech of the servant girl who sent the post.

"It's as tall as a two-story building, and it turns into mountains and rivers. It's our young master's idea." Fan's family has all moved to Jinling, and a pair of dragon and phoenix twins have already married wives and had children. Back then, Kuhaha knelt in front of Lin Ruhai and begged for help. The old Fantou already has a house full of children and grandchildren, and he has long since ignored the outside affairs, and has devoted himself to playing with his grandchildren and enjoying the family happiness.

"It's so rare, I really want to see it." Jia Min was moved by hearing this, and went to Yanglin Ruhai to see the lanterns together.

"It's rare for our family of four to go out together, and it's even more impossible when Daiyu is out." Jia Min always knows the master's weakness best.

"Bring more people, don't let people run into you." Sure enough, as long as this sentence was required, Lin Ruhai readily agreed.

Ulan Gege and Brother Hongyun rushed over with their people, reunited with the Lin family, and then went to the street where the Fan family was.

Today's lanterns are like a giant dragon, winding up from the end of the street to the street, lighting up the brilliant lights along the way.Most people enter from the end of the street, walk slowly to the street, and then divert to several other roads to go home.This street is not allowed to take a sedan chair or ride a horse, all can only be walked.

Rich and noble families have reserved private rooms long ago, walked a few steps to the restaurant, sat on it and looked at the lights, and sent someone to buy what they liked, which was relaxing and comfortable.

The Lin family also decided to go to the front of Fan's shop to see the lanterns on the second floor, and then go to the restaurant opposite to rest.

Daiyu carried a magnolia-shaped lantern in her hand and walked with everyone.Jingyu couldn't stand Wulan Gege staring at her lantern, and stuffed it into her hand, "I'll see you off."

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Ulan Gege grinned, took the lantern with both hands, and looked satisfied.

Although there were many people on the street, the guards of the Lin family and the guards of the Hongyun Mansion formed a circle, firmly protecting the masters in the circle, accompanied by maids and wives. The discomfort of being crowded around by people you don't know.

From far away, I saw Fan’s second-floor lanterns, which really lived up to their reputation. The lanterns were bright and majestic, and the revolving lanterns really turned slowly. The paintings seemed to come alive, all with different styles from different places.

The farmers who went to work in the field bent down to plant rice seedlings and raised their heads in one go.The girl who picks the tea picks the tip and throws it into the basket, frying the tea with both hands is like being there.Silkworm farmers, weaver girls who spin yarn, merchants on boats, dart runners on horseback, camel caravans in the desert, and fur traders in the snow.There are many fishermen and tourists who go fishing at sea and go to the sea to catch pearls.

"The Fan family also has successors." Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled.

"Indeed." Hong Yun replied, and Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other and smiled.

After they walked a few steps, they realized that something was wrong. Why did the lantern get farther and farther away? Far away, the lantern seemed to have grown legs and was running.

"It was the emperor who heard about the lanterns of the Fan family, and sent people over, saying that they would pull them to the street and put them together with the royal lanterns." Hong Yun ordered people to inquire and report back.

"This is great. If you want to see it, you have to walk a street." Jia Min smiled bitterly. After all, she is old and pampered. It really makes her walk a street, but it's a bit embarrassing.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, then said: "I'll accompany your mother to the restaurant we've reserved for a rest. This light is the same thing when you look at it from a distance. You young people, if you want to go shopping, you can go shopping again. After we have a rest, we can take a rest." Walk over slowly. I will leave their safety to you, how about it."

The last sentence was addressed to Hong Yun, and Hong Yun quickly cupped his fists, "My nephew will definitely protect them well."

So half of the guards of the Lin family came out and followed Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.The two of them went to the restaurant, sat leisurely by the window, looked at the lanterns below, commented, and were very happy.

There were only four of them left, and Hongyun lost his scruples, and walked to Daiyu's side naturally, answering courteously from time to time, or ordering people to buy something.Ulan rolled her eyes at her brother, followed Jing Yu, and said old-fashionedly: "My brother will never see me again, you have to protect my safety."

"Don't worry, Gege, I'm definitely optimistic about you." Jing Yu held back a smile, the impression of Master Thirteen in his mind and the little girl in front of him unexpectedly fit together.

"I'll just take a look, there's no need to buy them all." Daiyu looked at what the servant girl was carrying in her hands and on her shoulders, and gave Hongyun a dumbfounding look.

"I bought them all anywhere. It's so easy to go to the street once. I always have a good time." Hong Yun smiled, but he didn't want to stop. He pointed, and someone would go up to buy things.

"I asked someone to reserve a seat at the Xianyun Building on the street. Looking in that direction, you can have a panoramic view of all the street scenes. And next to it is the Royal Lantern Festival, which is more detailed than standing on the side. If you look at the second floor The carousel lantern dragged over, and we watched it from upstairs, as if it was right in front of us, and watching the lantern is perfect."

"I don't know if my parents will come or not." Daiyu felt a little regretful, but she was walking softly, considering their age, she was really not optimistic.

"I've sent someone over to see if they can come."

The person who went to invite them turned around, saying that Lin Ruhai and his wife were going back home, and brother Hongyun, please send their siblings back in a while.

Daiyu couldn't help feeling sorry, so Hongyun asked people to send all the lanterns he had bought along the way to Lin's house for lighting.

The private room in Xianyun Building was booked out early in the morning, and it must be impossible to locate it at this time.Someone wanted to spend money to buy a room, and the guys said with a half-smile, "The guest officer has the guts, how much money do you plan to pay, and which elder brother will let it out."

One sentence scared people away, and they were chased behind and spat, "It looks like a foreigner at first glance, let's talk about it after finding out what kind of territory this is."

Fan's lanterns were indeed placed in the middle of the Royal Lantern Exhibition, and they could see them clearly while sitting in the private room.

"Isn't that the young owner of the Fan family?" Jing Yu pointed down with sharp eyes, and sent someone to ask.

After a while, Fan Xinling came forward to pay respects, bowed in groups, wiped the sweat off his face, thanked Jingyu for his invitation, sat down and said, "It was said that I would wait for the emperor to receive him, but it turned out that the emperor had returned to the palace beforehand." I don't know what to do with the lantern, so I have to stay here for now."

In fact, he had asked before, how could anyone pay attention to him, he just left him outside and waited, Hong Yun understood immediately after hearing this, and ordered his own servant to go there.

After a while, he came back and said: "The emperor didn't say anything, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't know what to do. I guess we have to take it back first."

"Thank you Brother Hongyun, thank you Young Master Jingyu, I will take my leave first." Fan Xinling got the right words, so he could go down and make arrangements, bowed to the end, and walked out.

"Why are there so many servants outside?" Ulan and Jingyu were both staring down, and it was easy to find the problem.

Only Hongyun and Daiyu were so focused on each other that they didn't notice anything unusual on the street.

"Too many people, come out to patrol." Daiyu disagreed.

"No, these people are not on patrol." Hong Yun squinted at their clothes and began to shake his head.

Lin Ruhai went home halfway, and the emperor returned to the palace halfway, suddenly there were so many guards patrolling the streets.Hong Yun said slowly: "It's getting late, but let's take you home first."

Even Ulan felt that the atmosphere was not right, and didn't say a word of complaint.Sure enough, nets were pulled up on the street, and everyone had to go through inspections when they entered and exited. Hong Yun took out his waist badge and led them out.Get on the sedan chair and escort them back to Lin's house.

Daiyu sat alone in the sedan chair, staring at the shadow on the floor of her sedan chair.A lantern in the corner, reflecting my own figure in the sedan chair, was pulled into a strange shadow, and the golden steps like rain were imprinted on the wall of the sedan chair.

Hong Yun outside the sedan chair led the horse and walked beside Daiyu's sedan chair.After walking to a secluded place, where there were no other fellow travelers, Daiyu gently opened the sedan chair curtain and smiled at Hongyun.

Hong Yun quickly leaned over, "Do you want some water?"

"No, I seem to hear something behind me, so I'm asking." While speaking, Daiyu held Hong Yun's hand on the car window, shook her head slightly at Hong Yun, and gently stroked his palm with one hand with.

Happiness came too fast, like a tornado, and he lost the ability to think.After he reacted, he realized that the strokes on his palm were connected to four words, "There is someone at the bottom of the sedan chair."
