Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Sister Feng was happy, everyone in the East Court knew about it, and then everyone in the Rongguo Mansion also knew about it.

In the past two years, in order to conceive and have children, Sister Feng has been recuperating, eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha, and Jia Lian has also cultivated her body and mind. Then, there were also many people making jokes behind their backs.Now, when I suddenly heard about the happy event, even though I didn't know whether the baby was a boy or a girl, they all came to congratulate me.

Only Jia She and his wife and Yingchun and other close relatives know about the healthy and stable pregnancy. Others don't know. Sister Feng pretended to raise the fetus, and received a lot of rewards and filial piety. Portions are not light.

Jia Lian hoped that this child would be a son, and except for occasional entertainment, she guarded Sister Feng every day.

Sister Feng used to be a hero in the cosmetics team. This year, she saw Li Wan, a widow and grandma who was the housekeeper, and she felt very itchy. At this time, Jia Lian ordered someone to ask her about the business in the shop, so as not to let her get involved in those things in the mansion.

Jia Lian has worshiped Li Ming as his teacher, which is Sister Feng's idea.Sister Feng is such a shrewd person, and she heard that Jia Lian's reform came from Lin Ruhai and Li Ming. In the past two years, Li Ming explained his interests and didn't tell him to be promiscuous, how could he not be grateful?He also wanted Li Ming to be in charge of Jia Lian for the rest of his life, so he encouraged Jia Lian to become a teacher, and he personally built a small house with twenty or so rooms for Li Ming and his son in the small flower branch box at the back of the Rongguo Mansion, and bought maids and servants. Three festivals and two birthdays, both husband and wife personally send them.

He accepted Jia Lian as his apprentice, and did not expect Jia Lian to be born in the imperial examinations. Li Ming still taught him how to behave in the world and how to be an official. The elder brother stopped Jia Lian by saying that the future was not good, and told him that he had no hope, so it would be better to place his hopes on his children and grandchildren, so that he could glorify his ancestors.

At the same time, Li Ming took Jia Lian to see those sick people who slept in flowers and stayed in willows, and arranged a lot of homework for Jia Lian, not just studying, but taking care of his and Sister Feng's property, Zhuangtian shops, etc., opened more than one year later The three shops are making money every day.

Fascinated by the prospect Li Ming painted, Jia Lian was too frightened to be concerned because he had property in his hands and saw the deaths of many prostitutes.

This time Sister Feng was happy, and Jia She was overjoyed to reward Jia Lian with the two maids around her. Jia Lian didn't dare to take them, but declined on the grounds that Sister Feng needed peace of mind and feared that these maids would play tricks in private.

After Sister Feng found out, she only felt satisfied. In the past, she flaunted her teeth and claws everywhere because Jia Lian was lustful, and couldn't help the instigation of those bastard wives.Now that Jia Lian has sent Ping'er away in person, and can't resist going to sleep with flowers and sleep in willows, Sister Feng is happy to treat Jia Lian tenderly and just mind her own affairs.

After walking around the yard, Sister Feng told Xiaohong, "I'll be generous when encountering such a happy event, take out the good materials and jewelry I keep, and distribute them to Miss Lin, Second Miss, and Third Miss." The girl and the fourth girl."

Without waiting for Xiaohong to agree, Sister Feng then added: "Miss Shi, Miss Xing, and Miss Xue will also send a copy."

After thinking for a while, Sister Feng ordered Feng'er to take out a set of mutton fat jade noodles and a set of jadeite noodles that she kept, and said, "I remember that sister Lin singled out jade from the old lady, so it can be seen that she likes it very much. Coincidentally I don't like jade, and I always feel that it is not as good as pearls and gems. After collecting these sets of jewelry for so many years, I never thought of it and gave them to Miss Lin alone."

After hearing these few words, Xiaohong smiled and said, "Grandma is not afraid of what others will say?"

Sister Feng twitched her lips and said, "Everyone has selfish intentions, let alone me? The old lady only gave things to Yun girl, but the wife left out Yun girl. I just gave sister Lin a little bit more. Who is talking about gossiping? I'll return it tomorrow." I need to add more makeup to Sister Lin."

Due to the gossip in the mansion, Xiaohong was thinking about the incident of Dicuiting, and when she heard what Sister Feng said, she couldn't help smiling, and went to take care of herself.She led the maidservant to go out with things in her hands, thinking that whoever heard what she said to Zhui'er at that time, when Baochai passed by, she said that she saw a man by the water, dressed like a gardener The ones in the house disappeared before approaching.

Xiaohong and Zhui'er took it seriously and panicked. They didn't hear any rumors before they were relieved, but Xiaohong had a shrewd mind and finally took this matter to heart.

Following Sister Feng, she saw a lot of ups and downs, and Xiaohong guessed that she was afraid that Baochai had told a lie, and if someone was false, she heard it was true.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hong frowned slightly, Shi Xiangyun's deeds were not done in a day or two, but Mrs. Wang valued hairpins and despised women, and the family didn't take Shi Xiangyun to heart, so they didn't argue.Now that Shi Xiangyun shamed Baochai in front of everyone, gossip came out, fortunately the upper-level masters didn't know about it, if they knew it, they would be turned on their backs.Xiangyun is already like this, if in the future Sister Feng gave birth to a son and there was a rift between her and the second wife, would someone use this matter to cut off Sister Feng's arm?

Xiaohong decided to ask her parents to be more careful, and if any gossip leaked out, she would immediately order them to shut up.Her parents are only inferior to Mrs. Lai and his wife, the other servants dare not obey in order to prevent her parents from messing with the errands, besides, Xiaohong is working in front of Sister Feng, she is a confidant maid, and she is not a person who can't talk.

Xiaohong made plans all the way, first went to Daiyu's room, explained her purpose, and said with a smile on her face: "I originally wanted to send the needleworkers to make clothes for the girls. I didn't want our grandma to be heavy, so I had to send some materials to trouble the girls." The sisters in the house do it themselves."

Daiyu thanked her with a smile, and said, "What a clever girl, it's strange that Second Sister-in-law thinks so much of you."

When Xichun heard that she had her own, she said, "I'll just live with Sister Lin, so you don't have to send the ones for me to the garden."

After hearing this, Xiaohong hurriedly ordered someone to deliver it.

Daiyu had collected a lot of things in the new year, after reading it once, she asked someone to make tea for Xiaohong, saying: "It's cold, drink some hot tea before leaving. It's a coincidence for the two of us, my name is Lin Daiyu, your name is Lin Hongyu, Daiyu It is green and red like fire, one can draw eyebrows and one can draw lips, but it is a pity that it has been changed to little red, which suddenly loses its color and is unbearably vulgar, when will it be changed back.”

Xiaohong pursed her lips and smiled: "What should I change? A girl like me will not insult her good name and surname." She knew that Baoyu and Daiyu didn't care about these things, but the masters in the mansion didn't, even if she named her first. The one named Lin Hongyu also had to change, otherwise it would be a crime.

In fact, the change of Hongyu to Xiaohong has nothing to do with Daiyu. It was changed when Baoyu was named.

Coming out of Daiyu's room, Xiaohong went to Baoqin, Baochai, Xingxiuyan, Tanchun, and Yingchun in turn, and delivered one by one. Fang went back to Sister Feng's courtyard to answer, which coincided with Yuanchun's next year's ceremony.Like Dragon Boat Festival, Chongyang Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, only Jiamu, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Daiyu, Baochai, Baoyu, Sanchun, Fengwan and others have them, and there is another Shi Xiangyun.

Hearing that only Baochai and Baoyu are the same in the New Year ceremony, and Xiangyun is the same as Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun, Daiyu can't help shaking her head and sighing, thinking that Jiamu is old and will not violate Yuanchun's order after all. It's better for Xiangyun to retreat and get away while it's not on the bright side.

At that time, Daiyu had realized that Xiangyun's affection for Baoyu was no less than that of Baochai.

After she and Wei Ruolan got engaged, Xiangyun quarreled with Baoyu twice. She thought it was because of her face and anger, and she vented her anger on Baoyu, but it was not, but to win Baoyu's pity. Although she didn't cry, she was better than crying, but she The conversation with Baoyu was not speculative, but it made Baoyu angry, so that that time he came to his room with tears in his eyes and said that he couldn't control it and so on.

While thinking about it, Xichun came out of the garden with a very strange look on her face, Daiyu asked what happened when she saw this, Xichun hurriedly approached her and said: "I just heard in the garden that Sister Bao was sitting in front of the second brother's bed. Embroider bellybands."

Daiyu frowned and said, "When did the news get out at this time?"

Xichun thought that when she passed by Yihong Courtyard, she heard the little girl whispering, and was scolded by the attacker, and said to Daiyu: "Listening to what the little girl said inside and outside, it seems that sister Yun came to invite sister At the time of Xiren Congratulations, Jing Er, who wanted to embroider mandarin ducks, was bumped into by Sister Yun. At that time, the sisters had a good relationship, so they didn't spread it to let others know."

As soon as Daiyu heard it, she immediately understood Xichun's unfinished words. In the past, the relationship was so good that people didn't know it. Now, letting people know that the relationship is not as good as before, and it also vaguely meant the gossip aimed at the servants.

She frowned and said: "A precious jade is worthy of their kindness. It's really gentle!"

Xichun hurried over, very thirsty, took up Daiyu's tea bowl and drank it down, said with a smile: "I can't blame them for being like this, although I don't know what's going on outside, but I have heard a lot of news during these days with my sister, even if it is As for princes and princes, there are not many people like Baoyu. No matter how capable they are, they are not as considerate of their daughters as Baoyu, let alone how many concubines they have. He looks good and is quick-witted. He grew up with his son and knows his mind and thoughts. He is not afraid that he will treat his daughter badly, so he will inevitably be moved. Don't talk about Sister Bao and Sister Yun, they are the big and small girls in the family. Who doesn't want Baoyu? Not to mention Xiren, even Qingwen, although she is upright, doesn't mean she doesn't want to be Baoyu's aunt."

Daiyu snorted and laughed, and said, "You understand very well. Amitabha, goodness, goodness. Since you understand so well, I won't have to worry about you tomorrow." I don't know why, since I know that Daiyu has someone in my hands, I can After inquiring about news from various places, Xichun is like Emperor Changtai, who loves all kinds of news, so as to know what's going on outside, and listens with great interest every time.

Xichun was very proud, she didn't rely on Daiyu's help for the news about Jia's family, but got it by her own ability, and when she got someone in her hands, she went outside to find out what she wanted to know.

She said again: "Only sister Yun dares to do this, who else can?"

After hearing this, Daiyu took it for granted.

Behind Xiangyun there are two uncles, Baoling Hou Shi Nai and Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding. When other dukes' families descended one by one, they had the title of Marquis, which shows their great ability.Shi Nai was a knight, and when he arrived, the title that should have been similar to that of Jia Zhen had reappeared the glory of his ancestors, and Shi Ding had earned the title himself.Although their mansion also showed signs of decline, Mrs. Shi Nai dismissed the needleworkers, cut expenses, increased revenue and cut expenditures.

If the historian had no power, why would Shi Xiangyun, as a niece, say twice that her relatives were all princes and grandsons.

If it wasn't for the crab feast, every family would have heard some gossip, some said that historians were poor, some said that Mrs. Shi Nai didn't treat her niece well, some said that Mrs. Shi Nai was stingy, and so on.Mrs. Shi Nai went out of Beijing angrily without carrying Xiangyun, obviously dissatisfied with Xiangyun.Otherwise, relying on the power of the historian, Xiangyun would still be able to find a well-rounded marriage.

Daiyu suddenly wondered: "Sister Bao has been embroidering things for almost half a year, right? I remember Yun girl asked me to go and congratulate Xi Ren, but I didn't go, it was not long after Baoyu was beaten. Why is there such a commotion now?"

Xichun said: "It's not too much noise, others don't know about it. The girl Xiren only has a second wife in her heart. She usually flatters Sister Bao very much, and has a close relationship with her. Knowing what the second wife wants, how can she be willing to disobey and let the second wife know?" A few days ago, I heard that she was reprimanded by the second wife for letting Sister Yun and Baoyu quarrel. According to me, it means whether Xiren is willing or not. If she is willing, naturally there will be no gossip in Yihong courtyard Come, if you don’t want to, everyone will know.”

Daiyu turned her head and said, "No, since Xiren flattered Sister Bao, how could he allow gossip to spread? Besides, Sister Bao and Sister Yun have reconciled, and they went in and out together, how do you know?"

Xichun giggled and described what she had seen and heard in detail.

It turns out that the Xiao and Xiang halls are very close to the Yihong Courtyard. Xiangyun often went to find Baoyu, and occasionally saw Baoyu buying something for Tanchun, so he complained: "There are such good things, why don't you miss me? I like it too."

Baoyu let her pick out a few, and planned to buy another for Tanchun when she went out. It was the end of the year and it was very lively outside.

I don't want Xiangyun to ask if I gave it to Baochai. Although Baoyu treats his sisters kindly, he doesn't love Baochai and persuades him to learn economic language. After getting these things, he gave them to Daiyu and Tanchun.Shaking his head and saying no, Xiangyun said casually: "For the sake of Sister Bao's embroidering fan for you in summer, you should give Sister Bao a few."

When Daiyu heard this, she said in a daze, "That's it?" It seemed like Xiangyun's behavior.

Xichun laughed and said: "Isn't that the case? Sister Yun also apologized to Baoyu, regretting her slip of the tongue, saying that she didn't know that Baoyu didn't know about it, and always thought that the attacker had told him. The little girls talked in private, so I heard it, but Afterwards, Xiren came forward, and with her sitting in Yihong Courtyard and taking charge of all affairs, there must be no rumors about it."

Unexpectedly, Xichun guessed wrong this time.

Xiren was indeed in charge of Yihong Courtyard, he was the first person in Baoyu's house, he took two taels of silver and a penny early on, and when grandma came in, he was promoted to concubine, which was decent.However, the maids in Yihong Courtyard have their own schemes, it's just that Xi Renxian and Baoyu have a love of clouds and rain, and no one else can replace them no matter what.

Therefore, they are all obedient and obedient, and they spread ten to ten and hundreds of rumors. Although Li Wan sent people around early to restrain them, everyone just didn't say anything, but they all thought in their hearts. As unscrupulous.

Xichun was dumbfounded, and said to Daiyu, "It turns out that people's hearts are not in harmony. The strange reason is that they have a lot of things in Yihong Courtyard."

Daiyu sighed.

Xichun said: "In my opinion, Sister Yun can't compete with Sister Bao. Besides, everyone knows about the good fortune. Seeing that the second wife agrees with it very much, I don't think it's out of line. At most, I can say something about Sister Bao." I couldn’t help it. Baoyu was beaten up front. Sister Bao walked from home to Yihong Courtyard with a pill. Who didn’t notice? I was still thinking, don’t we have sore medicine at home? Sister Bao gave me a pill. What to do? Baoyu has to change her medicine."

Daiyu agreed, "It's a foregone conclusion."

Xichun thought about it from the beginning to the end, clapped her hands and said: "They are all smart people, compared with them, I am as stupid as a cow. I thought sister Yun was at a disadvantage, but sister Bao actually has no way out compared to her."

Daiyu smiled lightly and sighed long.

That's right, what Xichun thought of, she had already thought of it.Although earlier she thought that Xiangyun might as well take the opportunity to step back and get away, but in fact she also thought that the marriage of the two unicorns was not on the surface. Jia's mother liked Xiangyun and never mentioned marriage. After the unicorn marriage, I only thought that there was a rift between Xiangyun and Baochai.There is no way out for Baochai, but when the dust settles, Xiangyun can still marry another. As for how other people will accept such a daughter-in-law, that is another matter.

She was not the only one who thought so, Wei Ruolan also thought the same way, at that time Emperor Changtai had been sealed, but the palace was full of cars and sedan chairs, and the excitement became more and more lively, Wei Ruolan didn't dare to take it lightly, never went out of the palace, and still worked on errands.

In the dream of the Red Chamber, Daiyu has no one to rely on, a golden and jade marriage comes true, and the alliance between wood and stone fails, and there is only one dead end.

Shi Xiangyun relied on his background and had no scruples. He was not as cautious as Daiyu. He could only swallow his anger when facing rumors, because Daiyu had nowhere to go after leaving Rongguo Mansion.Shi Xiangyun is different, even if he can't live in Rongguo Mansion anymore, he can still go back to Baolinghou Mansion, and Mrs. Shi Nai has to recognize her by pinching her nose. If she doesn't say goodbye to Shi Xiangyun, others will think that she has never treated her niece well.

Therefore, Shi Xiangyun is in a position where he can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.

Wei Ruolan shook her head and smiled, she didn't expect Daiyu to be ruthless to Baoyu, and instead caused a dispute between hairpin clouds, and it was far more exciting than in the Dream of the Red Chamber, after all, Daiyu couldn't and wouldn't do what Shi Xiangyun did.

Stretching out her hand to touch the suet white jade ring worn next to her body, Wei Ruolan had a slight smile in her eyes. It was given to him by Baoyu before he was on an errand, and she said with a smile that it was a gift received next year. The one given to him before was a pair, made of the same material, a large ring with a small ring, with exquisitely carved landscapes, and the other was given to Daiyu.
