[Red Mansion] Married by decree

A few days later, the Jia family welcomed a distinguished guest from Jinling.The visitor's surname is Zhen, and she is the pro-daughter of Zhen Yingjia, the president of the Jinling Provincial Institute of Physical Education——Zhen Ruolian and the aunt of the Zhen family.

This aunt of the Zhen family is the grandmother of the Supreme Emperor, and she has a deep relationship with the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor's southern tour, the Zhen family picked him up several times, all for her sake.Even a child of the royal family like Yunze has to give her a little bit of favor.

The reason why the Zhen family went to Beijing this time was because of a letter from the Jia family, a marriage letter.

Early in the morning, the Jia family sent Zhou Rui's family to take a few decent women to the pier to wait for the Zhen family's boat.

"Old lady, Aunt Zhen and Miss Er have arrived at the door."

After hearing this, Mother Jia took Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang and the younger generation of the mansion to the door to meet the Zhen family.The door of Rongguo Mansion, which has been closed for many years, was opened again.

"I'm looking forward to the old sister." When Jia's mother met, she took Aunt Zhen's hand and called her old sister.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and then went to the flower hall in Jiamu's courtyard. During the period, the aunt of the Zhen family saw that Jiamu was pale, so she asked more questions. Jiamu only said that she had a headache.

"The first daughter of the old sister's family is full of style, compared to the girls in my family."

When Jia's mother entered the flower hall, she began to look at Zhen Ruolian. The girl had bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. When she noticed Jia's gaze, she didn't avoid it, but smiled politely at her.

Seeing this, Jia's mother felt that the girl from Zhen's family was generous, and she was even more satisfied with her.In Jia's mother's view, a person with such a family background, appearance, and temperament is worthy of her family's precious phoenix egg - Jia Baoyu.

"Don't look at the girl in my family who is quiet now, she is very naughty, how can she compare with the three girls in the old sister's house."

Although Aunt Zhen's words were modest, she obviously enjoyed Mother Jia's praise very much.

The Zhen family did not have a mansion in the capital, so the group lived directly in the Jia family.The place to live was arranged in the courtyard where Xue's family used to live. Since Xue's family moved out there, it has been vacant, and now it is just right for Zhen's family to live in.

The main purpose of Aunt Zhen's visit this time is to discuss the marriage of the two families.Living in Jia's mansion, you can also observe Jia Baoyu's character carefully.

That night, Aunt Zhen asked Zhen Ruolian for her opinion.

Although the Zhen family had four girls, Zhen Ruolian was the only daughter-in-law, so she was naturally doted on, and her opinion was also asked for this marriage.

Zhen Ruolian met Baoyu today, when she first saw her, she thought she saw her brother Zhen Baoyu.Not only in appearance, but also in temperament.

"Grandma." Zhen Ruolian knelt down directly, which surprised Grandma Zhen's family, and quickly helped her up.

Zhen Ruolian was unwilling to get up, and just knelt down and said: "Everyone knows that my Zhen family's current wealth is all earned by my aunt. My aunt is so favored by the emperor. Grandma, please be polite."

Zhen Ruolian opened her mouth, and the grandmother of the Zhen family stopped helping her, but listened carefully to what Zhen Ruolian said.Although Zhen Ruolian is young, she is quite assertive.Literary talent and courage are also above her elder brother Baoyu.

"The current wealth and honor of my Zhen family all come from the Supreme Emperor. Even if the Emperor's Southern Tour allows my family to pick him up, it is for the sake of the Supreme Emperor. It's just that the Supreme Emperor is old. If Ruolian says something disrespectful, the Supreme Emperor still has a few more years to live. .”

"Ruo Lian speaks carefully!"

"Grandma Guzu, Ruolian knows that there is no outsider here who would dare to say such a thing. Grandma Guzu please listen to Ruolian's words."

Zhen Ruolian spoke without fear, as if she had never said anything extraordinary.Aunt Zhen also knew that what Zhen Ruolian said was the truth, so she acquiesced in her going on, hoping to hear her opinion.

"If the Supreme Emperor is gone, how long can my Zhen family's wealth last. Although the ancestor of the Jia family is the Duke of Rong, it is not enough to protect my Zhen family."

"In your opinion, so what."

"Ruolian heard that although there are many sons today, the most favored one is his youngest brother, Prince Anshun." Zhen Ruolian was planning Yunze's idea in her words.

Zhen Ruolian's words made Aunt Zhen's family think deeply, Yun Ze was extremely favored and was already a prince at a young age.It would indeed be more beneficial for the Zhen family to have him as a backer, but this Yunze has already been married by the Supreme Emperor.

"Although Prince Anshun was bestowed a marriage by the Supreme Emperor, Miss Lin is an orphan, and Qiyi's parents' family doesn't have much influence. Ruolian asks herself, she can still make a living."

"You are not a man!" Aunt Zhen only sighed in the end.

On the second day that Aunt Zhen's grandma came, she had to be summoned by the Supreme Emperor.According to the people in the Taishang Palace, shortly after Aunt Zhen's arrival, the Taishang Emperor was furious.

Today, Daiyu suddenly became elegant, so she asked people to prepare paper and ink, and prepared to write a poem about plum blossoms.Daiyu looked at Hanmei in the courtyard, thought for a while, and then started to write.

The petty lower case letters gradually formed verses on the paper, but the pen stopped when it reached the last line.Daiyu pressed the end of the pen to her chin, frowning as she looked at the lines on the paper, looking distressed.

Daiyu looked at the poems she had written, then at the plum blossoms standing proudly, and finally she had an idea.She dipped the nib of the pen in ink again, and was about to write the last sentence.

"Girl, the Supreme Emperor urgently calls you into the palace."

With a flick of the pen tip, the ink dripped on the last word of the third sentence, ruining the whole word.Most of the words were covered by ink dots, so I don't know what was originally written.

Daiyu glanced at the ink dots on the paper, and finally put down the pen in her hand, but she didn't intend to finish the poem.

In the imperial study room, Yunze was discussing matters with the emperor.After the discussion was over, he found that the maid beside the queen mother was waiting for him outside the imperial study.

"My lord, the Empress Dowager asked her servants to tell her. Not long ago, the aunt of Zhen's family entered the palace, and she didn't know what she said. After she left, the Supreme Emperor ordered Miss Lin to enter the palace. I'm afraid that people will be too fast at this moment." arrive."

"My lord remembers that the Zhen family and the Rongguo Mansion have always been on good terms." Yun Ze was not asking the court lady, but Eunuch Ling who sent him out.

"Returning to your lord, the Zhen family and the Rongguo Mansion are indeed closely related. I heard people say that this time the Zhen family came to Beijing and lived in the Rongguo Mansion."

Hearing this, Yunze was not in a hurry, Wang Ziteng fell from power, Jia Yuanchun was not favored, Rongguo Mansion did not have a strong backer behind it now.At this time, Daiyu got the Emperor's dislike, which would do more harm than good to them.

If it wasn't for framing Daiyu, why did they use Aunt Zhen's grandma as a spear to sue Daiyu in front of the Supreme Emperor this time?

"Eunuch Ling, I don't know if someone from the Rongguo Mansion has entered the palace in the past few days?"

"The day before yesterday, the old Fengjun and Yiren of the Rongguo Mansion handed over a sign, begging to see Mrs. An."

Yun Ze thought for a while, then called Quan De who was beside him.He whispered a few words in Quan De's ear, and saw Quan De hurried towards the gate of the palace.

"Is the queen mother in the palace now?"

"After hearing the news, the empress went to the Supreme Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Yunze turned around and went into the imperial study.In front of the desk, the emperor raised his head to check when he heard footsteps, and when he saw Yun Ze go and come back, he only raised his eyebrows and buried his head in the memorial.

"Sit down. You didn't go to Father Emperor's place"

"The queen mother has already passed away. I will go there at this time, but it will not please me."

The Supreme Emperor didn't like Daiyu very much because of Yunze's relationship.Now that he is angry again, if Yunze passes by at this time, the Supreme Emperor will dislike Daiyu even more.It's better to wait here, the Queen Mother has passed anyway.Even for Yunze's sake, he would help Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't take a sedan chair when she went out this time, but a carriage.The carriage drove all the way to the gate of the palace before stopping.The coachman stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, took the stool and placed it on the right side of the carriage.

At this time, a white and tender hand stretched out from the carriage and opened the car curtain.Xiangzhu got out of the carriage first, but didn't get out of the carriage, but helped Daiyu close the curtain.When Daiyu got out of the carriage stepping on the stool, Xiangzhu followed her down.

"Do you remember all the girls Xiangzhu talked about?"

Daiyu nodded slightly, indicating that she remembered all the points of attention Xiangzhu said along the way.Even so, Daiyu was still a little apprehensive, after all, it was her first time entering the palace, and she was summoned so suddenly.

"Girl, don't worry, the girl's usual rules are also very good, just be careful in the palace."

The rules for entering the palace are very strict, Xiangzhu cannot enter the palace unless he is summoned, so he has to wait outside for Daiyu to come out.She also felt that this summoning was unusual, but the Emperor's summoning was unavoidable.Soldiers had to come to block it, and the water came to cover it.

As soon as Daiyu entered the palace gate, she saw Quande beside Yunze waiting at the gate, and hurried over when she saw her coming in.

"Miss Lin, my lord has asked the slaves to wait for you here."

"My lord, is it because of the sudden summoning of the Supreme Emperor?"

"The lord told the girl to be careful, and told the servants to tell the girl. The Supreme Emperor met the aunt of the Zhen family who lives in the Rongguo Mansion, so he summoned the girl temporarily."

"I troubled my father-in-law to tell the lord, so I said, Daiyu knows." This is the advantage of talking to smart people. With just one sentence, Daiyu can guess the general situation.

Daiyu sneered in her heart, a few days ago she came to the door to plead guilty, crying so much that she almost relented.Only a few days later, he sued in front of the Supreme Emperor, he was really his good wife!

The eunuch responsible for guiding Daiyu was just an ordinary eunuch.Seeing Daiyu talking to the personal eunuch next to Prince Anshun, he didn't urge Daiyu to leave, and went a little farther knowingly.

After seeing Quande leave, the eunuch approached and led Daiyu to the palace where the Supreme Emperor lived.It was also quiet along the way, with no more words and no less words.

When Daiyu came in, there were only two masters, the Emperor and the Queen Mother, in the room.Daiyu thought she would see Yunze in the house, but now she is a bit disappointed and wronged when she sees no one there.

"My daughter, Daiyu Lin, has met the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Daiyu's etiquette can be said to be very standard, even for the elderly in the palace, it can't be better than this.

It's just that when a person doesn't like you, whatever you do is not pleasing to the eye.Just like the current Supreme Emperor, he felt that Daiyu's courtesy was too contrived.

Before the Supreme Emperor called out, Daiyu could only maintain a posture of curtseying.After doing this for a long time, you will feel that the knee bend is sore.

"Just now, the servants around the emperor went to the concubine's palace to report that King Anshun was discussing matters with the emperor. After the discussion, they will come to see their father." To plead, I only praise Yunze.

"The child of Yunze is also filial. I heard that the child was still asking someone to find something a few days ago, saying that he was going to give it to the emperor. The child was still very secretive and refused to tell the concubine. What are you looking for, it is said that you want to surprise the father."

"Let's get up." After hearing what the queen mother said, the emperor's face softened a little, and Daiyu got up, and said loudly: "Come here, give Miss Lin a seat."

"Your Majesty thanked the Emperor." Daiyu thanked the Supreme Emperor before sitting down solemnly.
