Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Xiaoding, that is, Wending, is also a matter of Najib. It is a matter of the two families of women. Please only ask the hall to be objective.

Even though Li Wan was the housekeeper, but as a widow, she couldn't go out to socialize. There were almost no female family members she knew and had contacts with. Sister Feng was not the case. She was the eldest daughter of Wang Ziteng. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. Being the head of the family, I have been familiar with each other for a long time. After getting her post, I will come here for everything.

Not only that, Sister Feng asked Daiyu specifically, and invited those who had no contact with Jia's family but had friendship with Daiyu, it was related to Daiyu's life, unless there was something to do at home, or she went away, the rest would come up.

Sister Feng also thought that Yingchun and Daiyu were already engaged, Yingchun would leave the court sooner or later this year, only Tanchun and Xichun were left at home, and they were both old enough to say goodbye, so please invite more concubines to come here by order, maybe one or two families will fancy a sister two people.Sister Feng valued Tanchun's ability very much, and also thought about Qin Keqing's friendship and last words, and thought that it would be a good thing for Tanchun and Yingchun to get married earlier, so that it would be difficult to talk about marriage when something happened, and it is unknown whether they would be convicted together with their father and brother.

Therefore, two days ago, Sister Feng sent someone to make new clothes for each of the Sanchun sisters, and ordered someone to send them over with high-quality rouge and gouache.

She took care of everything properly, and no matter who came, she felt at home. Compared with her, Li Wan made a judgment call.

Entrusted by Miaozhen, Mother Wei brought Mrs. Wei and Aunt Wei over here early this morning, probably because Miaozhen was a monk and a widow, Wei Ruolan and Daiyu didn't care, but she was very jealous in her heart, so she prepared It is reasonable and reasonable for Mrs. Wei and Aunt Wei to accompany Wei's mother.

Seeing Daiyu for the first time, Third Aunt Wei couldn't help but let out a low cry, and praised: "There is such a beautiful person in the world! I just met today, and I think it's a fairy from the Heavenly Palace."

Hearing her words, all the female members of Jia's family laughed. Except for Baochai Xiangyun and others, they all thought of what Sister Feng said when they first met Daiyu.

Mother Wei and Mother Jia have been friends for decades. Although Daiyu was not the daughter-in-law he chose for his eldest grandson, Emperor Changtai ordered the Ministry of Rites to grant the marriage, and Miaozhen and Mrs. Fang were extremely satisfied. Therefore, Mother Wei Don't be a villain, hold Daiyu's hand, praise her, and finally say to Jia Mu: "It's our brother Lang who is blessed to hire such a well-rounded talent."

Jia's mother was complacent, but she said in her mouth: "Looking at Lang Ge'er's character and talent, our girl Lin is also blessed. If you come in tomorrow, you should be filial to the elders and treat your brothers and sisters kindly."

Mother Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled, the two elders felt that the other was understanding.

Zheng Guanmei came forward with a smile, and first praised Daiyu that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth, and then presented the letter of engagement and engagement ceremony. Mother Wei put the jewelry in the brocade box on Daiyu, first the necklace, then the earrings, dragon and phoenix. Bracelets and rings, except for collars, are all in pairs, red gold inlaid with red sapphires, the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite.

Seeing this set of jewelry, with the sound of exclamation, Feng Ziying's mother was the first to speak: "It's so exquisite jewelry, nothing else, but the gems inlaid on it are the first time I have seen it."

Everyone nodded one after another, feeling strange and very jealous.

Aunt Wei turned her head and smiled, "Sister, I don't know. This is called a mandarin duck gem. It was a treasure that Lang Geer found out after a lot of hard work. No one knows. Lang Geer keeps it. I don’t want to take it out, and only after I got engaged, I got it inlaid on the jewelry. The set of jewelry I made when I was proposing the marriage was inlaid with red and green gemstones of better quality and more colorful, so it looks good.”

Coincidentally, Mrs. Feng is the elder sister of Aunt Wei San's mother. After hearing her sister's words, Mrs. Feng wondered: "There is such a thing? It's a good idea, but it just coincides with the word mandarin duck."

Everyone said yes in unison, but Daiyu blushed and bowed her head in silence.

She has already learned from the queen that Wei Ruolan only got three mandarin duck gemstones, and the red and green gemstones were made into jewelry for marriage proposal, and now they are kept in the dowry, and the other two red and sapphires are used for today, and the other is dedicated to Emperor Changtai , Made jewelry and gave it to myself.

The three mandarin duck gemstones are all in my hands, feeling Wei Ruolan's heart, Daiyu's chest is full of tenderness and sweetness.

Mrs. Feng praised Wei Ruolan and Daiyu once, saying that they were a match made in heaven, and then said to Aunt Wei with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will ask Ziying to go to Brother Lan, and ask his men where they found the gemstones of mandarin ducks. It’s really strange, but it’s also very beautiful. I liked it so much that I got some precious stones to make jewelry, which made people envy me from the bottom of their hearts.”

Aunt Wei smiled and said: "Isn't my sister very envious of Miss Lin's jewelry today? Not to mention my sister, even me, I also envy and want it in my heart, but Brother Lan said it is very rare, and I can't find one among the 1 yuan gems. Such."

Hearing these words, everyone thought the same, if it was easy to get, they would definitely have seen it, so they wouldn't be surprised today.

Sister Feng hurriedly sent the two sets of clothes, shoes, socks, fan cover and purse made by Daiyu herself. As a gift in return, Third Aunt Wei took them and showed them to Mother Wei. Blindly colorful craftsmen are comparable, and they are no worse than the world-famous Huiwen objects. I feel more satisfied and praise a few words.

Sister Feng and Wei's mother knew each other very well, and explained the background with a smile, saying: "Although people like us don't take needlework as a priority, they are always proficient. These clothes, shoes and socks are all made by Sister Lin stitch by stitch."

Wei's mother smiled and said: "Sure enough, he is an ingenious child, and he really does his work well. You are right. There is no shortage of needleworkers in a family like ours, and the housekeeper is very busy with human relations. Who takes these work as a Serious business? It’s just that you can do a few stitches, so it’s not a joke.” She was explaining to everyone that after Daiyu came in, she didn’t have to work hard.

Jia's mother was all smiles, and she praised Wei's mother for her kindness, generosity, and understanding. After the ceremony, please be seated.

Sister Feng knew her family's idiosyncrasies, so she didn't invite the little opera singers from outside, but only asked the little opera singers from home to come on stage. Anyway, their singing voice was first or second-class in the capital, and even Yuan Chun praised it very much.

It was a lively day, and when we returned home at night, Mother Wei heard that Wei Ruolan had arrived as soon as she got home.

Mother Wei chuckled, and said: "Afraid that I will fail if I don't know something? I came here in a hurry, and I don't know why the current emperor values ​​him so much, even Xiao Ding has approved it." While speaking, she sighed in her heart , compared with Wei Ruolan, Wei Bo is even more pale. Although he is supported by his title, his prestige in the army is far inferior to Feng Tang's generation.

Wei Ruolan came in and invited Ann, presented a brocade box of cloisonné enamel, and said: "Today, please trouble grandma to go by, and specially send some high-quality supplements for grandma to nourish her body. If you use it, it will be good, grandson Bring it back."

Mother Wei felt relieved and said, "It's hard for you, I don't lack these, you live alone, don't spend money."

Wei Ruolan suppressed the urgency in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "How can you say that things that honor your grandmother cost money? Although my grandson is incompetent, I still have the money to buy supplements for my grandmother. Send someone to tell the grandson." These words came from the heart, the grandmother was always obedient, and he did not have the slightest resentment, but was grateful for the teachings of his grandparents since childhood.

Mother Wei smiled and said, "Since that's the case, auspicious, you ordered the kitchen to cook it for me today. Ruyi, you take Miss Lin's gift in return and give it to the uncle to take back."

Auspicious Ruyi's two maidservants answered in unison, Du Ruyi's heart was attached to Wei Ruolan, her stomach was full of soreness, and her gaze was very resentful when she presented the gift in return.

Wei Ruolan hated this maidservant so much that he didn't even look at her, he was full of Daiyu's return gift, he was very aware of Daiyu's ingenious embroidery work, and he often envied Baoyu's act of only doing needlework for Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber.Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and went home. As soon as he got into the room, he couldn't wait to change into the clothes and shoes made by Daiyu.

Looking at the big dressing mirror again and again, Wei Ruolan hurriedly took it off and folded it neatly. He had to go to work tomorrow, so he couldn't wear these. He would wear them after he took a shower, but he could wear shoes, socks and a purse.

After Xiaoding, it will be Daiyu's birthday, Wei Ruolan hastily handed over the gift she prepared to nurse Cao, and asked her to deliver it to Daiyu.Wei Ruolan had no biological mother since she was a child, Mrs. Wei didn't care about him, so she was very close to her nanny, and now Madam Cao is in charge of Wei Ruolan's house chores. Neither assert themselves.

Grandma Cao checked it again, carefully locked it in the cabinet, wore the key next to her body, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, brother, I will wash and dress up early in the morning of the Flower Festival, and go to kowtow to Miss Lin to celebrate her birthday."

Wei Ruolan smiled, the letter of appointment has been issued, and finally she can justifiably send something to Daiyu.

But after Wei Ruolan left, Wei's mother and her former confidant surnamed Lao spoke to Wei's mother, saying: "Brother Lan is 16 years old this year, and he has married again. There is no elder in his place to call the shots. Look at the old lady." So should I arrange two housemates for Lang Geer?"

After listening to Ruyi, she couldn't help showing joy in her eyes.

Wei Ruolan and Mrs. Wei have always been at odds, and Wei Ruolan will definitely not accept Mrs. Wei's maid, and Miaozhen is a monk, with only a few old mothers and little girls around, they are not candidates, only Mother Wei has someone, Moreover, he was able to speak directly, and the maidservants in the room regarded his appearance as the first and second class. According to Mother Wei's thoughts, it was impossible to say that he could be selected.

Ruyi has served Mother Wei for so many years, and she understands Mother Wei's intentions best. She is worried that Wei Ruolan will not help Wei Bo, so she will definitely be willing to arrange two or three confidantes to blow pillow wind beside Wei Ruolan.

As expected, Mother Wei nodded and said: "If you don't tell me, I forgot, there is no one in the room with Brother Lang?"

The old mother smiled and said: "Lang Geer never lived in the mansion. The girl in the house said that she would be released when she was old, and then she moved out with Lang Geer. Once I gave Lang Geer a gift. Things, I asked the old nuns in Lange's Orchard, and I met those girls, and they are still perfect."

Mother Wei couldn't help showing worry when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "I'm so old and I don't have anyone in the house, is there something wrong? Have you asked the doctor to look at it? Wouldn't it be a joke to catch up tomorrow."

The old mother said: "Look at what the old lady said, what's wrong with our brother? It's just that he doesn't understand human affairs."

Mother Wei thought right, and began to look at the maids around her.

Ruyi was looking forward to going to Wei Ruolan's side, tried her best to curry favor with Wei's mother, and secretly invited the old mother to drink, and asked her to recommend herself to Wei's mother.As the big maid next to Wei's mother, she will be able to take care of everything in the house in the past. When grandma comes in, she must be the aunt. Besides, Wei Ruolan is handsome, who wouldn't love her?

The old mother lived up to her expectations, and the next day when Mother Wei talked to her, she mentioned Ruyi, and said with a smile: "Miss Ruyi is good-looking, good at sewing, stable, loyal to the old lady, she is worthy of Brother Lang. "

Mother Wei has already won another maid named Ping An.

Ping An is also one of the eight maidservants in front of Wei's mother. She is beautiful, gentle and quiet, and she is no worse than ordinary girls from humble families. She is especially good at sewing, but she is not as clever as Ruyi.

After hearing the old nanny's suggestion, Mother Wei thought about it, called Ruyi and Pingan, and asked them if they would like to serve Wei Ruolan.

Even though Mother Wei didn't mention it, both Ruyi and Ping'an understood very well. Ruyi was very happy to not talk about peace, and hurriedly said shyly: "Yes, why don't you? I went to Lang Geer and persuaded Lang Geer every day. Come to pay respects to the old lady, pay respects to the elder, and increase the friendship between grandparents, grandchildren, uncles and nephews, it is our intentions used."

Mother Wei was really happy, and ordered the two to pack their bedding, and then ordered the outside woman to drive the two of them there.

At that time, Wei Ruolan went to work in the morning, and Mammy Cao was watching people preparing birthday peaches. When she heard the intention of the old nanny and Ruyi Ping An, she sneered in her heart and said to the old nanny: "My uncle is not at home, please tell me everything." Alright, let Ruyi and Ping'an stay in the servant's room first, and make arrangements after the uncle leaves the palace."

The old mother was stunned, and said: "How can the person who is rewarded by the old lady live in the human room? It should be arranged in Lange'er's room." All the maids who serve personally are not accompanying the master in the bedroom. The room was small and not clean.

Cao Mama said: "Old sister doesn't know, our uncle is weird, there are five rooms in the main room, and no maids and mothers are allowed to stay overnight."

Ruyi hurriedly persuaded the old nanny, "Since it is Lang Geer's intention, we should obey it. Lang Geer is not at home at this time. When Lang Geer comes, he will naturally accommodate us two sisters and tell us to move into the right place." I don’t know about the house.” In her heart, she wished to drive Ping An back, but with Wei’s mother’s order, she could only bear with it, wait until Wei Ruolan’s heart was won, and then pull out Ping An’s thorn in the flesh.

The old nanny looked at Ping An, and the gentle, demure and profound etiquette of Ping An had nothing to say, so the old nanny nodded and said, "That's all right, you can live here, Brother Lan will be out of the palace in a few days."

Ruyi and Pingan should be, send the old mother out together, and arrange the dowry when they come back.

Seeing the two of them busy with cold eyes, after tidying up the room, he came to flatter himself, and made friends with the little girls in the courtyard, and distributed old clothes, old jewelry, gold, silver, purses and other things to everyone as if they didn't need money, so as to make money Buy people's hearts, and inquire about Wei Ruolan's usual behavior and preferences, and get to know everyone within a day.Mammy Cao sneered, quietly ordered someone to watch the two of them, not allowing them to step into the study and bedroom for half a step, and went to give Daiyu gifts to celebrate her birthday.

Ruyi and Pingan went out with Wei's mother, they both saw Daiyu, felt ashamed and unwilling, hurriedly stopped Cao Mama before going out, begging to go with her to pay Daiyu's greetings.

Mammy Cao flatly refused, she knew Wei Ruolan's temperament well, she had asked Wei Ruolan before about this matter if she wanted to take the two maids into the house, but Wei Ruolan refused and said she didn't have such thoughts, so she smiled Fei smiled and said: "A warning to the two girls, the uncle still doesn't know how to arrange the two girls. Where did the girl get her face? Go to grandma to show her face? Could it be to show her identity to demonstrate to the grandma who hasn't entered the door? Hurry up and accept you people Can't see the past, who is the character on the famous brand, dare to do this?"

After finishing speaking, he asked the maidservants on the left and right to say: "Don't let others know about our family's affairs."

Everyone quickly agreed, knowing that Madam Cao meant to let them see Ruyi and peace, and not let them pass today's words to Wei's mother's ears, instead blaming Wei Ruolan.

Ruyi's face flushed immediately, with tears rolling in her eyes, while Ping'an's expression was calm and calm.

Mammy Cao went to Rongguo Mansion by car with people and gifts, and heard that it was the Wei family who came to present Daiyu's birthday. Li Wan didn't dare to neglect, so she hurriedly sent the daughter-in-law in charge to invite her in, and met Jia Mu first.

Hearing that Madam Cao said that before Wei Ruolan entered the palace, she specially told her to bring a birthday gift to Daiyu today. Mother Jia's eyes were full of joy, and she liked Wei Ruolan's way of life more and more. Satisfied, she ordered someone to hand it over to Daiyu. Mammy Cao offered to kowtow to Daiyu to celebrate her birthday, and Mother Jia agreed.

Daiyu knew that Madam Cao was Wei Ruolan's wet nurse, and when she finished her ceremony, she hurriedly set up the seats and ordered tea to be made.

Mammy Cao didn't stay long either, she took her reward letter and left after talking for a while.

Xichun and the others came to make fun of it, and said with a smile, "Open it quickly and let us see, besides the Shoutaoer Shou noodles, what other good things did Brother-in-law Lin give to Sister, so we can learn more about it."

Daiyu ignored their teasing, and ordered Xueyan to put away the brocade box directly.

Because it was her first birthday after filial piety, and she had already engaged in marriage, Jia's mother took 200 taels of silver to Li Wan and ordered her to clean up the opera wine. The mother ordered to change it into copper coins and throw it out to Daiyu to accumulate blessings, so today Jia's mother's courtyard is very lively, and operas have been sung early.

Suddenly, the queen ordered the eunuchs to send clothes and playthings, and then Yuanchun also rewarded them. Needless to say, Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing Wang, Aunt Xue, Youshi and Aunt Li also had them, Wan Fengchaiyun, Sanchun, Baoyu and others all have birthday presents.

Daiyu's birthday was remembered everywhere, and people were sent to give gifts, and there was an endless stream.

Just after finishing her work, Mrs. Wang suddenly said that Li Wan's energy was low, and she valued morality rather than talent. Then I felt that there were too many people in the garden, and I was afraid that I would lose care of it, so I invited Baochai here and asked her to be careful everywhere.

After hearing Mrs. Wang's words of entrustment, Baochai had no choice but to agree.

After Li Wan and Tanchun's aunt and sister-in-law discussed, they would take care of the housework in the meeting hall every morning. It happened that there were countless weddings and weddings in each family, and Mrs. Wang was busy. Li Wan and Tanchun were in the hall for a day, and Baochai was in the room. Supervision for one day, until Mrs. Wang came back to leave.
