Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Yuan Chun grew up beside Jiamu, and was also taught by Jiamu. He sat high and looked far away. Seeing Jiamu's expression, he felt a little bit unbearable.However, thinking that if Baoyu cannot marry a daughter-in-law who satisfies her mother and is beneficial to her children, this daughter-in-law will overwhelm her mother everywhere in the future, which is really cruel to her mother.

Gossiping again, Gong'e who accompanied Daiyu reminded Daiyu that it was time to go back.

Daiyu apologized to Yuanchun and Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. After she went out, Fengzao Palace fell silent. Don't worry, grandma."

Jia Mu said: "The Queen's favor is the blessing of Lin Yatou. None of these sisters can match her."

Mrs. Wang said nothing.

On Baochai's birthday last month, Mother Jia said to Aunt Xue that the four sisters in the family were not as good as Baochai, but today she said that Daiyu was a top-notch girl.It's true that Daiyu is indeed favored by the queen alone, but other than that, what else does she have?The so-called grace is like a dream, and it will be gone in no time. It can't be compared with someone from her natal family and a generous dowry.

Yuan Chun glanced at his mother, and said with a smile: "I think Sister Lin is also very good, good-looking and talented. When Ming'er becomes filial piety, the old grandmother should be careful and choose a family with all four corners for Sister Lin. Treat her well." Well, it's good for our family too."

Before Jia Mu could speak, Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up, and she quickly agreed: "What your mother said is that Miss Shi is younger than the eldest girl, she has already engaged, and the eldest girl will show her filial piety at the end of the year, so she should really show it to her." She's gone. Just based on the character and appearance of the eldest girl, we can choose how many dignitaries." Daiyu lost her parents and lived in Rongguo Mansion. The family she married must be better than all the sisters. Such a basic family The first is of great benefit to my own family and Baoyu, and my own family does not need to pay a dowry anyway.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Wang's dislike for Daiyu's usual days suddenly disappeared by seven or eight points.

Jia's mother was shocked. The granddaughter she had brought up turned out to be biased towards her mother in everything. She couldn't tell who was superior and who was inferior. Now that my son is favored by the empress, I'm afraid that our family will not be able to decide on the marriage, so we should stop making decisions about it."

Mother Jia had weathered many storms and usually pretended to be deaf and dumb, not because she was old-fashioned, but now that Yuan Chun had expressed her wish, she could not disobey it, but she could not let Mrs. Wang intervene in Daiyu's marriage.

Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang's expressions changed, and they fell silent at the same time.

Mother Jia calmed down for a while, and said: "Yu'er already has a title. I think her husband will be a second-class military officer in the future. Obviously, our family can't make decisions, so let's see what the court does."

At this moment, Mother Jia finally faced up to Daiyu's different status.

Thinking about the reason why the Empress took Daiyu into the palace, Mrs. Wang forced a smile and said: "What the old lady said is true, but we are in a hurry."

What they said in Fengzao Palace was quickly known by the queen, and she dismissed the little eunuch who delivered the news, and said to Daiyu with a smile: "The female relatives of your grandmother's family are all very smart people, several times stronger than the men, except Your eldest aunt, the others are very good at observing words and expressions, and also know how to adapt, can bend and stretch, as long as they are not blinded by muddled thoughts, they know what to do in everything." Think about what Jiamu and Mrs. Wang said, and look squarely at Daiyu After identity, every sentence is like a person.

Daiyu was staring at the leaving little eunuch in a daze. The little eunuch was from the Queen's Palace. She saw it often, but she didn't know who passed the news of Fengzao Palace clearly. Sure enough, there were no secrets in the palace. The little eunuch also said just now that according to the news, the gift Jia Yuanchun gave Daiyu was taken out hastily after hearing what Jia Mu said, instead of preparing it early.

After hearing what the queen said, Daiyu came back to her senses and smiled, with a lightness on her brows, "Wouldn't that be great?" She didn't care at all that Yuan Chun didn't know her birthday, after all, she had never seen her before Yuan Chun's province.

It is undoubtedly the biggest surprise for the Jia family to give up on themselves.

From now on, whether Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are fighting openly or secretly, they will not use themselves as a raft.

Daiyu knew very well that Jia's mother compromised for a while and no longer wanted to match the marriage between wood and stone, but it did not mean that she accepted the golden and jade marriage. There is still a struggle.

The queen nodded and smiled, and explained her opinion to her in detail, saying: "It's really good. In this way, I won't worry about you being wronged when you go out of the palace and return to Rongguo Mansion. Your grandmother is partial, How to behave in the world is much better than your second aunt. There is no need to be too demanding for such an old man. Anyway, in that mansion, except for Jia Baoyu, he loves you the most, and no matter how much, in the end She is better than others. Your second aunt is very wise and foolish, she looks kind and kind, but in fact she is ruthless and cruel, although it is inevitable that she will be deceived by the underworld, but she must be the one who wins everything in the house."

Since her mother passed away, no one has ever taught her these things, Daiyu humbly asked for advice: "I can also see that my grandmother is old and may not be able to compete with my second aunt who is the mother of a virtuous concubine. It’s hard to wish. It’s just that the lady said that the second aunt looked at her kindly and kindly, but in fact she was fierce and cruel? Where did this come from?”

The queen pondered for a moment, and said: "You have a clear mind, but because of your life experience, you treat it wholeheartedly when you occasionally get kindness. I should tell you about these things, so that you don't know who is good and who is evil in that mansion, so that you don't know who is good and who is evil, and you are deceived." go."

He raised his hand to pick up the tea bowl in front of him, took a sip, cleared his throat again, and said, "You know your majesty's temperament, when he was still a prince, he was not a prince, and he often inquired about the secrets of various families for entertainment. I listened to it a lot before and after the meal. How do you see how the Rongguo Mansion Lian's second mistress named Wang Xifeng behaves?"

Daiyu thought for a while and said, "The word 'spicy' is exhausted."

The queen laughed, stretched out her hand and tapped her forehead, and said: "You are narrow-minded. My niece Xiao Gu has some sense, how Wang Xifeng behaves today, what kind of person Wang Yiren was in the past, after being Uncle Wang, even It is worse than worse, exploiting profits, taking lawsuits, driving away concubines and girls, there is nothing she has not done. Now she eats fast and recites Buddha. Disaster relief, but praying for prosperity and wealth, is not really believing in Buddhism and doing good."

Daiyu thought about it in the mansion. Everyone said that Mrs. Wang was kind-hearted and a Bodhisattva. Although she vaguely felt that Mrs. Wang was not as kind and gentle as she showed, she never thought that Mrs. Wang would do so many things .

The queen said again: "Of course, you can't just look at people's shortcomings, and you can't say that she is useless. No matter how vicious people are in the world, they have done one or two good deeds. It's just that there is more or less goodness. Goodness cannot conceal evil, and Wang Yiren is such a character, if you don't believe it, just watch, there will definitely be a bunch of flowers and tender willows withering in her hands." Jia Baoyu is Mrs. Wang's eyes and heart, and now she is afraid of Jia's mother. The older Jia's mother is, the stronger her own power will be. The first to suffer are those deputy ladies around Jia Baoyu, and the only ones who can escape are those few virtuous people.

Daiyu lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

The queen analyzed the character and temperament of other people in the Rongguo Mansion with her, and said: "Wang Xifeng pursues fame and fortune, if it is the same as before, she will make wedding clothes for others sooner or later. Wang Yiren asked Wang Xifeng to be the housekeeper, but he did not let go of the power in his hand. But when Jia Baoyu got married and directly handed over the housekeeping rights to his daughter-in-law, Wang Xifeng would get nothing. Now it seems that there are some changes and benefits, and she will help you of course. Needless to say, Li Wan, and Jia Tanchun The same, they all live under the hands of their mother-in-law, and they must obey Wang Yiren's wishes in everything, and praise Xue Baochai everywhere, so they may not have a heart-to-heart with you. Jia Yingchun knows it well, her temperament is too weak, she can't help you, but she won't hurt you, treat you normally That's fine. Jia Xichun is young and understands everything, but his temper is too indifferent and he is an unintentional person, but learning painting with you, friendship is better than others after all, just like Jia Yingchun, it can't help you, and it won't hurt you You. As for Shi Xiangyun, needless to say, I’m afraid there will be more time to target you in the future. Xue Baochai is a shrewd and scheming person. If there is a fight between wood and stone marriages and gold and jade marriages in the mansion, I don’t know what will be done to feel sorry for you. She You can't count her as such a person, I'm afraid you will be deceived by her actions, and you don't need to make friends."

After talking about the women's relatives, the queen said that the men have no taboos, which shows that she has a deep understanding of the secrets of the Jia family. I don't know, I just think they are good. Your two uncles are incompetent, and they didn't see you taking care of your niece, so they will continue to do so in the future. Among the brothers, Jia Lian has someone arranged by your father by his side, and he changed his past. , I will definitely help you with Wang Xifeng. Jia Baoyu is a rare person in the world. I have never seen such a temper. It is good to be sisters, but there must be some taboos between daily life, sitting and lying down. Jia Huan and Jia Cong are fine, black eyebrows Wuzui, not human-like."

At the same time, she informed Daiyu of the actions of the members of the Jia family that she had inquired one by one, in every detail.

Taking advantage of Daiyu's few days in the palace, the queen didn't care about the trivial matters in the palace, and devoted all her energy to Daiyu. She would teach everything a mother should teach her daughter.

Daiyu left the palace at the end of the month and returned to Rongguo Mansion, where she received an unparalleled welcome from everyone.

Mother Jia and her sisters are still the same as before. In Mother Jia's eyes, she is like a precious jade, but the sisters' words are a little more cautious. Mrs. Wang also greets her with a smile and speaks kindly, not as often as in the past. The servants did not dare to say that Miss Lin is not as good as Miss Bao. They were so attentive to Daiyu, so attentive that Daiyu dried the bedding early in the morning, and brought hot water as soon as she returned to her room. Absolutely brush the pot several times vigorously first, and boil it in boiling water for a few times, so that it does not touch the slightest bit of meat.

Xueyan whispered: "I went to play in the garden, and many maids rushed to call me sister Xueyan, and the mother-in-law rushed to call me young girl. After living in the mansion for so many years, it is only now that I can be said to be comfortable and free from grievances. , I am very happy for the girl, and it will be fine in the future, if the girl is not wronged, she will not cry, and the master and wife don't have to worry about the girl under the Nine Springs."

Daiyu looked at her, her hair combed with double buns, pearls in her earrings, her brows were clear and graceful, her figure was beautiful, her gestures and gestures had a natural Jiangnan beauty, she was not inferior to the famous first and second class maids in the mansion.

In fact, Xueyan, Xiren Zijuan and others are all of the same age, and they are the personal servant girls who grew up with her, and also her companion maids. Then she retreated calmly, the clothes and jewelry were all taken care of by Zijuan, and she didn't like to go out, so she was unknowingly covered up a lot of brilliance.

"Stupid girl, don't worry, you'll be fine in the future. I'll be a filial piety tomorrow, and I'll take you out to learn more." Daiyu smiled like this, her spirit was high and her face was shining.

Xueyan was very happy when he heard this.

There are few gossips, but it is said that after Baochai and others moved into the Grand View Garden, they were properly settled and satisfied. Du Baoyu felt that life was hard to be fulfilled because of Daiyu's refusal to live in the Xiao and Xiang Pavilions. With sisters as companions, I feel happy again, reading and writing, playing the piano and playing chess, reciting poems and painting, embroidering phoenixes, fighting grass and hairpins, singing softly, guessing characters, doing everything and doing everything. , It is really a great joy in life, and I have written many instant poems.

When Wei Ruolan met with Liu Xianglian and others for wine, she saw Baoyu's coquettish and coquettish lines inscribed on Feng Ziying's fan. to the point where?"

Feng Ziying replied: "These are made by Baoyu. I saw that my words were better than those scholars, so I asked for a fan."

Hearing that Baoyu is proud of doing these things every day, everyone shook their heads.

Wei Ruolan knew that Daiyu hadn't lived in the Grand View Garden, and thought that her fate was different, but her actions were different.In the book, Daiyu has nothing, and she entrusts Baoyu all her life. She only has Baoyu in her eyes, and no one teaches these taboos. Her intimacy and friendship are far better than others.

Now Daiyu is not confined to the gate of the small house, neither is she in love with Baoyu, but she is also cautious in every way, and she is taught by the queen and the nurses around her, she is extraordinarily cherished and respected.

Wei Ruolan often thinks back to everything about Daiyu in the Dream of the Red Chamber, the more she feels pitiful and cute, and when she thinks about the glimpse in front of the mountain temple, she only hates that she has not yet become a filial piety, and she is planning to wait until she is filial piety, and make an early decision. That's good, as far as he knows, there are many people in the capital staring at Daiyu.Shi Xiangyun started discussing marriage when he was about ten years old, and it is not too early to get engaged this year, and Daiyu will be 13 next year.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Feng Ziying say: "Oh, I said, what's the point of meeting you in restaurants? I invite you, let's go to Jinxiangyuan. There is a girl named Yun'er who has a delicate voice and can sing well. "

Wei Ruolan stared, and said, "I don't want to go to those flower streets and willow lanes."

Chen Yejun and Han Qi also shook their heads and said in unison: "We won't go either. If you go, then go to that idiot Xue you mentioned."

Feng Ziying looked at Liu Xianglian again. He was a frequent visitor to Liuxiang, Huajie. How many women were crazy about her, and they were willing to serve him without giving money. The madam didn't know what to say, but Liu Xianglian waved her hand hurriedly, pursing her lips and said, "I also want to serve him." I won’t go, since Ruolan said those words that year, I won’t go.” In fact, he was young, he went out a few times at first, and then he mostly went to listen to music, if there was no Wei Ruolan, maybe he would be older When he was a few years old, he often went there when he had money.

Chen Yejun smiled and said: "Xiang Lian is about to get engaged, Brother Feng, what are you telling him to do? I didn't see that his Yuanyang Sword today only has a single strand, and the other strand has already been betrothed. You tell him to go to Jinxiangyuan, carefully Let his father-in-law know that this marriage has come to naught, but those who love their daughters don't want their daughters to marry a prodigal son who likes to sleep in flowers and sleep in willows."

Everyone was surprised and said in unison: "When did it happen? Why haven't we heard about it?"

Liu Xianglian's face flushed.

Feng Ziying pushed him and said, "You are usually such a straightforward person, why are you showing signs of twitching today? Quickly tell me, whose lady is it? Why haven't we heard any rumors?"

Liu Xianglian drank a glass of wine and said with a smile, "It's Brother Chen's cousin."

Hearing this, they all looked at Chen Yejun, who smiled and said: "It's a girl from an uncle's family who is a branch of our family. This uncle has no official position, but he passed the Juren examination in his early years, but unfortunately he broke a leg later. , now I still have to rely on crutches, and I can't go any further, now I am a teacher in the Chen family school, and I only got a daughter from my sister when I was nearly forty years old."

Everyone remembered that Liu Xianglian vowed to marry a stunning woman, of course, the premise was the innocent daughter of a good family.They wanted to ask Miss Chen if she was stunning, but they suddenly realized that she was Chen Yejun's younger sister, it would be abrupt to ask, so they quickly covered their mouths and asked why they got married.

Chen Yejun smiled and said nothing, and Liu Xianglian refused to speak. No matter how they asked, they just kept silent. In the end, Feng Ziying and Han Qi, one on the left and the other on the right, pulled Liu Xianglian's arm backwards and threatened her. , but failed to get any information, and Wei Ruolan and Chen Yejun, who were on the sidelines, beat the table endlessly.

Wei Ruolan is full of surprises, Liu Xianglian is engaged, the woman is Chen Yejun's distant cousin, the plot in the instruction manual can be changed, he will not become rich because of Third Sister You's suicide, will he also ask for help? Marry Daiyu as his wife?

"Don't make fun of him, it's good for him to do this, so as not to ruin the reputation of the young lady."

Hearing Wei Ruolan's words, Feng Ziying and Han Qifang let go of their hands in resentment, Liu Xianglian hurriedly clasped her fists to thank Wei Ruolan, then raised her wine glass to respect each other, and said: "Ruolan, if you didn't borrow five thousand in the past, I would How can we have the current family business? Between us brothers, I will not say words of gratitude. In the future, if you have any orders, just open your mouth. The five of us, Chen Shixiong, got married early, Han Shixiong has already made an appointment, and only you and Feng Ziying are left , you are so young and promising, I wish you an early encounter with a woman you would like to work with for the rest of your life."

Wei Ruolan drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Thanks, brother, if I wish, I will thank you for your good words."
