[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

Dreams will always come true one day.

It was still dark this morning, when Miss Wu opened her eyes, she was about to get up, eat and go to school.Nanny Xu walked in quickly, smiled and said, "Miss, the master and princess are back."

"What?" The fifth girl couldn't believe it. She had been looking forward to it for a long time, but when it really came, she felt a little emptiness. Don't tell me she was dreaming?Miss Wu couldn't help using her right hand hard, and found that pinching her palm was really painful, really!

"Okay, that's great, Madam Xu, hurry up and make up for me." The fifth girl was still wearing unlined clothes.

"Don't worry, girl, don't worry, girl." Mother Xu supported the fifth girl who was trotting, and said carefully: "The master and the princess are waiting for the order ten miles away in the suburbs of Beijing. After entering the city, the master must first enter the palace to see the order. The Princess may be summoned by the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and there is still some time before she arrives at the mansion!"

"Then get ready first! Come on, let Chun Equinox comb my hair. She has the best craftsmanship. She brings the gold silk flower headband that my mother sent back. The clothes also wear the new clothes made by Liu Guangjin that my mother sent back. The jade pendant on the skirt was a birthday gift from my brother... Besides, didn’t my father give me a pair of bangles in different colors of light rice? Take it with you, take it with you too!” Fifth Miss ordered in a hurry.

"Don't worry, girl, you can't miss it." Chun Equinox took the comb with a smile, and slowly dressed the fifth girl. At least an hour, the master and the princess will not come back.

Miss Wu looked at herself smiling in the bronze mirror, and felt happy, not only her parents came back, but also her backer!It is said that a child without a mother is a grass. A five-year-old little girl must suffer some grievances in order to make a living in the gate of a mansion. Now her parents are back, and her good days will come!

The fifth girl is looking forward to the arrival of a new life.

After finishing dressing up, Miss Wu would not go to school anymore. If Mother Xu hadn't dragged her to put two pieces of snacks on her back, Miss Wu would not be able to eat anything.When we arrived at the main hall, the old man, old lady, second uncle and second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, and brothers and sisters were all waiting. The word "keep" is old.

Now that Wang Shouzhong is married to the princess, and has made great contributions at the border, he is already a third-rank general in his early thirties, and he has a promising future!Mrs. Wang felt that he had a successor. He was so happy that everyone was smiling.

I didn't know how long I waited in the hall, and the servant came to report happily: "The master and the eldest wife are back!"

The fifth girl stood up quickly, wanting to see her parents soon.

A white-faced man with a slight beard came in. His skin was a little darker than his second uncle Wang Shouxiao and third uncle Wang Shouli, but he was still a handsome man.

"The unfilial son pays respects to his parents! The son is unfilial and fails to serve his parents..."

"Boss, get up quickly." Mrs. Wang called out hastily.

"My son, my son, you are dark and thin, you have suffered, look, look, you still have scars on your hands, from childhood to adulthood, where have you suffered such a crime!" Mrs. Wang Seeing his beloved eldest son, he hurriedly went up to him, looked at him carefully, and always felt that his child was suffering in a place where he could not see, and tears could not stop streaming down his face.

"Mother, stop crying, haven't I come back?" Wang Shouzhong persuaded helplessly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Shouzhong, but the fifth girl had good eyesight and stared at the middle-aged beautiful woman who followed.The fifth girl has imagined many times what the noble "princess empress" in Madam Xu's mouth is like. Maybe it is a noble and inviolable royal nobleman, maybe it is a graceful and luxurious aristocratic demeanor, maybe it is a resolute and steady demeanor of everyone. It is rare to see a woman in this era who follows her husband to endure hardships at the border.

When she appeared, the fifth girl realized that all her thoughts were unqualified.The princess in front of me is noble but not extravagant, stable yet kind, well-behaved, with a smile on her face, no matter how you think about it, I can't think of anyone better than her!

Miss Wu's heart felt sweet for a while, this is her mother, she looks good.The fifth girl rubbed her accessories subconsciously again, not confidently thinking that this outfit is appropriate, isn't it rude?

After crying for a while, Mrs. Wang was finally persuaded by the crowd, and the princess brought the little boy beside her to greet her.

As soon as the princess was blessed, the old man Wang called out, "It's hard work, princess, the border is bitter and cold, thanks to you taking care of the boss."

"It's what a daughter-in-law should do." The princess knew that she was honorable, and the Wang family was full of compliments, but she was not friendly enough, so she pushed the little boy beside her and said, "This is the master and my second son, Wang Ziteng, It's still the name you chose, old man."

"Grandson Prince Teng kowtowed to his grandfather and grandmother."

"Good grandson, get up, get up!" Mrs. Wang couldn't wait for her husband to wake up this time, so she quickly helped Wang Ziteng up.

"What a strong boy!" Mrs. Wang smiled and squeezed Wang Ziteng's arm.

After all, Wang Ziteng grew up in Bianguan. His body looks better than that of the five-year-old Wang Zisheng who beat him. His arms are strong, his brows are razor-sharp, and he looks upright and stable.

Finally meeting the elders, the fifth girl couldn't bear it any longer, she stepped forward two steps deeply, at this moment she couldn't bear to lower her head, stared at her parents with good eyes, and said in her mouth: "My daughter greets her father and mother, and her elder brother. ..."

"Good boy, my son, my son." The princess pulled Wu girl up, she had already seen Wu girl beside her who was crying with excitement, at this moment, she took a closer look and wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still red The red ones, the ones on the head and the body are all brought back from the border by myself, and I feel comforted in my heart.

Miss Wu didn't know whether it was Wu'er or Wu'er that her mother was calling, but she couldn't help the emotional turmoil in her heart, and the tears that were finally stopped flowed down again.

The king's father, Wang Shouzhong, also patted her head and said, "Grow up and be beautiful."

The third aunt has always been good at dancing with sleeves, and she repeatedly comforted her: "Don't be sad, big brother and sister-in-law. This is a good thing. It's a great thing for family reunion. Sister-in-law, don't cry, and five girls should laugh too. Look, our majestic general Eye sockets are all red."

Everyone burst into laughter and quickly sat down, ready to talk in detail.

At this time, Wang Zisheng, who had been standing beside the old lady, stepped out, knelt on the cushion in the middle, kowtowed to Wang Shouzhong and the princess, and said, "My child, pay respects to parents, parents have worked hard!"

"Get up quickly." Wang Shouzhong called his son. The child who had only reached his waist when he left had grown to the height of his shoulders. Wang Shouzhong was not good at words and was emotional, but he didn't know what to say. He just mumbled repeatedly, "Good boy, good boy." !"

"I was ignorant back then, but now I'm Mr. Pianpianjia. It's all taught by the old lady." The princess also held Wang Zisheng tightly, looked carefully, and flattered her in-laws.

"That's natural, my eldest grandson!" Mrs. Wang was beaming, and she talked endlessly about Wang Zisheng's daily little things, which sounded interesting and gratifying.

"What a long-winded old woman, my son has rushed back, let him go back to freshen up first, there is so much to say, there will be more time in the future!" Old Mrs. Wang said very happily: "Come on, there is a family banquet at noon , your two younger brothers are also waiting to talk to you!"

"What do you know, old man? What's wrong with talking to your son?" Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xiang have a good relationship, and they have been together for almost a lifetime, and they quarreled with each other with a smile.

"What mother said was that I had already washed and washed before seeing him, so I just happened to be talking with mother." Wang Shouzhong smiled slightly, diluting the seriousness of the general portrait a lot.

"That's all, that's all, let's go back and rest, and let the servants in your yard enjoy your joy. Your yard lady is being cleaned every day! The quilts are all freshly dried."

"Mother understands me, so I will sleep well tonight!" Wang Shouzhong was not as simple and honest as his name or appearance, and he always spoke directly to people's hearts.Old Mrs. Wang grinned to her ears with joy, and waved them back.

After the children of the second uncle and third uncle's family also visited Wang Shouzhong and the princess, the Dafang family returned to the courtyard in a mighty manner.

After returning to the east courtyard, the servants who stayed behind and brought back from the border kowtowed to say hello, and changed their clothes. The whole family didn't even have time to talk, and rushed to the banquet in a mighty manner.

Today is a small banquet, and there will be a big banquet for guests in a few days.Needless to say, the banquet was full of excitement and laughter.

In the evening, Wang Shouzhong went to the study, and there were still a few business matters to be done. The princess called Madam Xu who was staying behind, and asked her carefully about the situation in Beijing.

"So, Brother Sheng will be taught by the old lady after I leave?" The princess took a sip of tea and frowned.

"After you left, the Eldest Young Master is ten years old. According to the rules of the Wang family, he should have moved to the outer courtyard. However, the Eldest Young Master is the eldest son and direct grandson, and the old lady attaches great importance to it. He arranged it next to the main courtyard, which is a little far away from the eastern courtyard. You just left , the eldest and young master got a cold, and the old lady said that the people were not well served, so she sent them away." The main courtyard and the east courtyard are the two best courtyards in the king's house. Since they are the best, the area is naturally large. There are times when Grandma Xu can't take care of her for a while.

"It's all useless slaves. At that time, the girl had a high fever and the slaves were incapable of dividing up the body. People took advantage of the loopholes." Madam Xu's words seemed to shirk responsibility, but they were indeed the truth.

"It's okay, I didn't take Brother Sheng away when I left, so I expected today." The princess thought deeply, when she gave birth to her eldest son and her husband was about to be released, and Wang Ziteng and fifth girl were born at the border. She was born prematurely during the enemy's attack, the fifth girl was in poor health, and there was a shortage of doctors and medicines at the border. The princess had no choice but to send the fifth girl back to the capital. She was cared for by her husband's family and her mother's family. A little girl would not hinder anyone, and she would always survive smoothly. .At that time, Madam Xu, a high-ranking female officer, was sent back, which also meant to hold the line.She also returned to Beijing after giving birth to Wang Ziteng, and she knew at that time that the old lady would not let Wang Zisheng be raised alone in the outer courtyard.The princess also had some thoughts in her mind, what would happen if Wang Zisheng was sent back to the capital at the beginning, then she thought about it again, with the precedent of Wang Zisheng now, it was correct not to bring Wang Ziteng back to the capital halfway.

"The young master is pure and filial, but he is a little stranger to the master and the princess, and the slaves are useless." The young master has been raised by the old lady, and Madam Xu often blames herself for this.

"It doesn't matter!" The princess said categorically, cutting off whatever Madam Xu wanted to say.
