Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

For the sake of the face of the two families, and because they were afraid that others would say that their family bullied a girl without a father and no mother, the Jinxiang Hou's Mansion did not ask Concubine Nan'an about Shi Xiangyun's work in the Rongguo Mansion, and their family directly invited Qin Tianjian The acquaintances came to do the fortune telling, which made people believe that it was not that the two families did not want to get married, but that the two children happened to be incompatible with each other, so they had to cancel the marriage of the two families.

The people in Baolinghou's Mansion were very sorry, but Nan'an Taifei knew in her heart that Baolinghou's Mansion must be dissatisfied with Shi Xiangyun, but they protected the face of Shi Jia and Shi Xiangyun, so Nan'an Taifei did not pursue it.

Only Mrs. Baolinghou was very depressed. She had already given Shi Xiangni a good look at her family, and her appearance was basically not inferior to Han Qi's, or even worse. She was waiting for Xiangyun to propose marriage after she got engaged. Seeing that Shi Xiangyun and Han Qi's horoscopes are not compatible, if I knew this, I should have asked for their names earlier.Things have come to this point, Princess Nan'an was afraid that Mrs. Baolinghou would embarrass Shi Xiangyun, so she did not inform Mrs. Baolinghou of the reason for the Jinxianghou's divorce.

After hearing the news, Daiyu sighed, her old worries finally came true.

In fact, Xiangyun should not have come here after she got engaged. Mrs. Shi Nai is not her own mother after all. She knew that there were no rules in the mansion, but she still let Xiangyun come here. In the Yuxu Temple, if you got such a unicorn with red gold and emerald green, with Baoyu's temperament, how could you not show Xiangyun the golden unicorn?

Fortunately, the two families took care of their face and never publicized the reason for retiring. The needle and thread matter was fine. After all, Baoyu's intrusion into the boudoir was Baoyu's fault, not Xiangyun, and now she is the one who bears the consequences.

So unfair!

Daiyu got acquainted a little more, and hurriedly ordered Zijuan to say: "I remember that when I was young, I used to hang out with Baoyu. Do we still have his old things in our room? We packed them up earlier and sent them to the attackers, which is also called Xiren should put some effort into seeing if they have our things in their place, and take them back no matter how old or worn out they are.”

Zijuan has always been gentle and silent, and also knows that Daiyu's marriage cannot be decided by Jia's family, so she hurriedly searched for it. She remembered that Baoyu's old things were kept in her room, and she did find Baoyu's name talisman and the belt. I took a piece of furoshiki to wrap my shawl, purse, fan cover, sachet bag, etc., and sent it to Yihong Courtyard and quietly handed it over to Xiren, explaining why I came. The needlework made for Baoyu was clearly delivered to Zicuckoo, but Baoyu never knew about it. Musk Moon in the house saw it, and she followed the lead of others, and she didn't spread it to the outside world.

But she said that Daiyu went to Jia Mu's room to pay her respects after she had finished her orders. Jia Mu felt so sorry for Xiangyun day by day, she was silent for a moment, and said softly to Li Wan, "I don't know how wronged Yun girl is at home, so I sent someone to pick her up and stay here for two days. Relax."

Sister Feng is not much of a housekeeper these days, she only focuses on taking care of her body, and occasionally reads and reads with Jia Lian, and she feels more comfortable than when she was a housekeeper. Madam Wang is impatient to take care of these trivial matters, and she is unwilling to hand them over to Madam Xing. Wan is a widow and grandma, so she was recruited and asked to take over the affairs that Sister Feng was in charge of in the past. The keys to the warehouse are still in the hands of Mrs. Wang herself.

Li Wan agreed and went to cook.

Jia's mother said to Daiyu again: "Yun'er encountered such a thing, so people really don't know what to say. She is also a pitiful person. I have lived with me for several years without parents. I didn’t go back until my aunt was gone. Now it’s been so long to call Jinxiang Hou’s mansion. Although the horoscope disagreement is a matter between the two children, as a girl, she is at a disadvantage. I think about you in Xiao and Xiangguan. It’s a pity if you don’t go to live in it, how about asking someone to clean it up and give it to Yun girl?”

Daiyu was startled, but she quickly came to her senses, and said with a smile, "Just let Sister Yun live, I'll stay with my grandmother anyway."

She noticed that when Mother Jia said these words, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were a little uncomfortable. Du Baochai was still smiling, and told Baoyu that when Xiangyun came, she would take care of her and not let her think about it. Thing of the past.Daiyu couldn't help thinking about it, but Shi Xiangyun was wearing a golden unicorn, and it was also gold.

As if Jia Mu hadn't seen her, she ordered people to clean up the Xiao and Xiang halls, and then sent some women and maids over there.

Baolinghou's Mansion is not far from Rongguo Mansion, and Xiangyun came over in a short time.

Looking closely at Xiangyun's description, he has green eyebrows and bright eyes. He talks and laughs loudly when he sees young sisters. He doesn't care about trivial details.

Daiyu wondered, when encountering these things, she should hide her door and stay out of the way to avoid the rumors. Why did Mrs. Baolinghou still let Xiangyun come over?She didn't know that although Mrs. Shi Nai was extremely disappointed with Xiangyun, she didn't know the reason why the Han family had withdrawn their engagement. Concubine Nan'an wanted to remind him, but she had an agreement with the Han family long ago, and she couldn't talk about it after the divorce.If Mrs. Shi Nai knew, no matter this time or last month, she would not let Shi Xiangyun come to Jia's house.Now Shi Xiangyun can't get married twice, Mrs. Shi Nai can't do anything for a while, but it happens that Jiamu came to pick her up, and their family wanted to take advantage of Yuanchun's momentum, so they let Xiangyun come to Rongguo Mansion for a short stay.

Jia's mother looked over again and again to make sure that Xiangyun did not take her children's personal relationship to heart, so she felt relieved, smiled and said to Xiangyun: "I asked someone to tell your aunt that it's hot and you live here. It's cool in the garden." , you live in the Xiao and Xiang pavilions, and keep company with the sisters in the garden, even if the gate of the garden is closed, it will not hinder you."

Xiangyun had fallen in love with the scenery in the Grand View Garden for a long time in his heart, but she was a guest, and he didn't feel ashamed to go to Hengwu Garden to live with Baochai when he came back. At this time, he heard Jiamu's words, and he was overjoyed and said: "The old ancestor is the best. "

Hurry up and call Cuilu, and go to the Xiao and Xiang halls to install the utensils.

Baoyu loves the bustle by nature, so he hastily followed, pointing fingers at the furnishings in the room, very happy.

Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, but stayed behind and talked with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang for a long time, being considerate in every way, until Mrs. Wang urged her, saying: "It's so hot here, old lady, you young sisters all go It's cool in the garden, look at what Baoyu is doing, don't offend your elder sister Shi with your outspokenness."

Baochai complained to Jia Mu and went with Tanchun, but Xichun was unable to go with Daiyu because she was going to see her new painting in Daiyu's room.

Yingchun went to the east courtyard early in the morning, but she wasn't there either.

Daiyu had nothing to do, but she saved up a lot of paintings, all the paints were exhausted, and asked someone to show it to Xichun, and the two whispered to each other, one said that the technique of this painting was good, and the other said that the color of the painting was good, and they refused to accept each other for a while, After talking for a long time, you finally looked at me and I looked at you, and they all laughed.

At that time Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others all retreated, and the upper room was very quiet. Jia Mu was lying on the Arhat couch, listening to the faint laughter in the east wing, letting the mandarin ducks wrapped in gauze hold the plantain fan. Fan her.

After a long time, Mother Jia sighed and said: "It's all the evils of the previous life, so I don't know what to do."

The mandarin duck listened to it, but said nothing.

Jia Mu said again: "I vaguely remember that last month, the second wife praised Xiren? I added another big maid to my room."

Yuanyang was startled, and hurriedly said: "Xi Ren has fulfilled his duties, and he only has one Baoyu in his heart. My wife is grateful for her benefits, and knows how to persuade Baoyu to make progress, so Tete took out two taels of silver from her monthly case to share with her." She didn't use the company's money." Although she grew up with Jin Chuan'er, Zijuan, Si Qi, Shi Shu, Ru Hua, etc., the best friendship is always Xiren and Heping'er Now that Ping'er is married and has children, she and Xiren are the only ones left in the house, so naturally she speaks well of Xiren in front of Jia Mu.

Jia Mu said slowly: "It's really a good one. When you have a new master, you forget to be the master. How did I hear that the former Xiren rushed to Hengwuyuan in the evening to do the work that she was supposed to do?" Ask Bao girl to make it? If I remember correctly, those are Baoyu’s shoes? Is Qingwen a dead man? There are more and more rules, and there is no reason for a man to ask a relative’s girl to make his shoes and socks.”

Hearing that Jia Mu's tone was not as usual, and the mandarin ducks screamed badly, she immediately understood that Jia Mu was dissatisfied with the attacker, dissatisfied with her surrendering to Mrs. Wang, and also dissatisfied with her going against her will to flatter Baochai, so she forgot the past He also said that she had no rules, and it was because Jia's mother saw that her needlework was good and her appearance and conversation were sharp, so she married Baoyu.I never thought that Xiren would rather bother Xiangyun and Baochai than ask Qingwen to do needlework.Although Qingwen is a bit lazy because of Baoyu's habit, in fact, Baoyu's house is in charge of everything, even Qingwen's monthly money and dowry belong to her. Without explaining, Qingwen was happy and relaxed.

Thinking of this, Yuanyang dared not speak a word.

Jia Mu glanced at her and asked, "I remember you and Xi Ren are very good?"

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "When Xiren was young, Xiren served the old lady in the old lady's house. Xiren and I lived in the same room. We have lived in the same room since we were young. We are closer than others. We have not forgotten our old friendship all these years."

Jia Mu nodded and did not speak, but Yuanyang knew that she could not pass on what Jia Mu said today no matter what.

Half a day later, Mother Jia sighed: "I'm old, my energy is not as good as before, and my memory is not good. If there is anything unexpected, you have to remind me, don't let people neglect Yu'er and Yun girl. There used to be no I said it, now that I think about it, I was the one who felt sorry for Yu'er, and caused her to suffer a lot of grievances. Thanks to her blessing, she has been blessed by the current Holy Majesty and the Empress. With a rich heart and no father, I don't know how to be pitiful."

Yuanyang's heart shuddered, and she answered in a low voice.

Mother Jia showed a satisfied expression, she was not confused, how could she not understand what was going on in the mansion?In the past, I wanted to match the two Yu'er, but Daiyu was wronged by Mrs. Wang, and I couldn't make decisions for her. If she refuted Mrs. Wang's wishes for her, how could Mrs. Wang not be mean to her after becoming a mother-in-law?The marriage of the two Yu'er was not completely settled, because she was afraid that when she was old and gone, Daiyu would be tortured even more severely by Mrs. Wang.Now that this scruple is gone, Jia Mufang has such words.

When Amber came to make tea, Jia Mufang asked again: "The former empress gave something to Yu'er. I remember that Yu'er honored me with some things. Among them, two pieces of yarn are very good. Where did you keep them?"

Yuanyang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's in the box, the old lady is looking for it, and I'll go get it."

Jia Mu said: "Don't be busy, you find that gauze and make me a dress to wear. After a while, it will be cold and you won't be able to wear these gauze clothes. I remember that there are two horses of Tianshui in the room. Bi's silk, such a color that only Yu'er can wear with charm, you find it and send it to her, and ask Zijuan to make two clothes for Yu'er. Then find the red cotton yarn you used and give it to Baoyu Take two horses, send two horses to Yun Yatou, she likes to be lively, and she looks good in red."

The mandarin ducks agreed one by one, and ordered Amber to fan Jiamu instead of herself, to find the gauze that Jiamu said, and send it to each room.

Daiyu asked only herself, Baoyu and Xiangyun, and no one else. She smiled lightly and said to Xichun, "It's good that the sky is clear, and you can also make a dress to look cooler."

After hearing this, Xichun casually twirled the edge of the blue sky and water, feeling cool with the tentacles, and said: "Two horses are not enough for my sister? If it is enough, I will make a blue lotus skirt, and I will also make a similar one for my second sister and third sister. If it’s not enough, forget it, the old lady gave it to my sister, how can I take advantage of my sister for nothing.”

Daiyu smiled and said: "Enough, more than enough. It's not like you don't know me. Unless it's extremely hot dog days, how can I wear such thin clothes? This day when the water is clear, I plan to make a jacket and a skirt, a green jacket with a white skirt, and a white shirt." With Bishang."

Xichun raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Since that's the case, I'll make a skirt."

Daiyu ordered Zijuan to cut three pieces of material for Sanchun to make a suit of clothes, and Xichun ordered Ruhua to collect them.

Xichun thought white clothes looked good with green clothes, but she was not Daiyu, she had filial piety on her body, so she lightly drew red lotus and green lotus patterns with charcoal on the front of the white silk shirt, and asked the maid to embroider them, and match them with Tianshui. The green lotus leaf skirt is actually very beautiful.

When Yingchun and Tanchun met, they both thought it looked good and followed suit one by one.

Early this morning, the four sisters came out wearing the same clothes, the tops were as white as snow, and the bottoms were as green as green, with a long green silk sash hanging from their waists and a white jade ring. The appearance of Du Daiyu's white clothes has no patterns or decorations, and there is a charm of natural carving of hibiscus coming out of clear water.

Baoyu was full of praise, but he was so happy that he didn't know how to express it.

Although Baochai didn't have the material given by Jia Mu to make new clothes, she had the golden steps given by Mrs. Wang to shake the hairpin on her temples, and on her snow-white wrists she wore the string of red musk that was rewarded in the Yuanchun Festival in May. .

A group of sisters wandered around in the garden for a while, and then went back to take a nap.

Daiyu stood on the porch teasing the parrot, scolded the parrot for making her hair ashes, looked out of the sky a few times, and said, "The big parrots we saw in the temple often flew over to look for me, why haven't we seen them today?" ?”

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "That bird doesn't come every day, girl, hurry up and get inside, it's hot outside."

Daiyu enters the room.

She didn't know that those parrots were captured by Wei Ruolan, and she was training the parrots to hold flowers in their beaks or claws, and she also took a lot of food to lure the parrots to commit crimes, coaxing: "Practice obediently." , I will let you go to Miss Lin. You think, if you bring flowers to Miss Lin, Miss Lin must be happy, right?"

But these parrots are extremely difficult to serve, chattering non-stop.

A parrot cursed loudly: "Damn you, you made my head ashes!" Its voice sounded like Daiyu's tone, it seemed to be like Daiyu's words to reprimand the parrot on the shelf.

But a parrot let out a long sigh, and said loudly: "If you want to play the qin, I hate that you don't have a bosom friend to appreciate it."

Another one took two steps in the cage, and said rather sadly: "Once the spring is over, the beauty will grow old, and the flower will fall and the person will die!"

Wei Ruolan is very angry and funny, fortunately he has been reading Dream of the Red Chamber carefully these days, and he also knows that Daiyu has raised two extremely spiritual parrots under the shelf, and has learned a lot of poetry from Daiyu, these spiritual parrots in front of him Chang Fei went looking for Daiyu, naturally it was unavoidable, thanks to their dexterity, others couldn't catch them, and it was because of his excellent lightness kung fu that it took him a few days to catch them.

Threats, reprimands, and all kinds of training were useless, Wei Ruolan had no choice but to open the cage and let them go home.Daiyu is lonely, and it is rare to have a few parrots as companions. He only wants to borrow the parrots to express his love, and he will not hold on to them no matter what.

Unexpectedly, one of the largest parrots was extremely cunning. After getting out of the cage, it flew into the air, swooped down suddenly, and grabbed Wei Ruolan's golden crown with lightning speed, and flew away triumphantly, leaving Wei Ruolan was dumbfounded, but luckily the thirteen disciples were all in the outer courtyard, and no one else saw the situation in the inner courtyard.

Daiyu welcomed the long-awaited parrot in the afternoon, and she was dumbfounded when she saw the golden crown, not knowing how to react.

Nanny Liu took it down and looked at it, and said: "I don't know whose son's golden crown is made of red gold and silk, and there is a ruby ​​inlaid in the middle. Such a big and clean gem can only be used by high-class dignitaries. .Fortunately, the golden crown is woven with gold thread and is only one finger wide. Otherwise, how could the parrot catch it and bring it along along the way.”

Daiyu followed her hand for a few glances, and said indifferently: "Tomorrow, find out who lost it, and return it earlier."

After finishing speaking, he teased the parrot that had grabbed the golden crown: "Whose property did you steal? How about sending it back soon?"

The parrot stood on the shelf Dai Yudan left for them, poked its head to eat and drink, and after swallowing, flapped its gorgeous wings, and shouted in its mouth: "Bad guy! Bad guy! Girl, I'm scared to death, there are bad guys!"

When it yelled, the other parrots said, "Bad guy! Bad guy!"

Daiyu thought it was funny, but although the parrot is psychic, it is not human after all.

Time is easy to spend in youth, and it has entered August in a blink of an eye, and it is slightly cool.

Because Jia Zheng suddenly ordered a school errand, he chose to get up on August [-]th, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was never good. On the [-]th, he paid homage to the ancestral hall and said goodbye to Jia Mu.

Daiyu thought in her heart that the 27th would be her father's anniversary. She was thinking about the scenery of Iron Net Mountain, and she also missed the young monk Xingxu. At this time, Tanchun posted a post, intending to start a poetry club, which was favored by Daiyu, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and went to Qiushuangzhai.
