Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

The husband and wife were ignorant of the night, and they had to watch the things in the box halfway, so they had a good time.

The next day, Daiyu naturally got up late.

It was already cold beside the pillow, I don't know when Wei Ruolan will not be in the room anymore, she sat up on the bed with Baizi in her arms, stretched out her hand to push aside the curtain, and found that the sky was already bright outside the glass window, she couldn't help but feel anxious, there was a bit of a smile on her face I am ashamed, although I have met my parents and family members in the hall yesterday, I don’t need to go to see my family members, etc. today, Wei Ruolan also separated early, and I don’t have to worry about it every morning and evening, but the second day after entering the door As a bride, she should also pay respects to Mother Wei, Miaozhen and others.

When Wei Ruolan came back from practicing martial arts, she saw a slender hand protruding from the tent. She hurriedly stepped forward to roll up the tent, hung it on the copper hooks on both sides, and said with concern, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's early, my mother doesn't live in the mansion, and I can go to the Taoist temple after paying my respects to my grandmother, and it won't be too late to pay my respects to my grandmother after breakfast."

Daiyu got out of bed and said angrily, "Where is it early? Looking at the light outside, it's almost the hour of the morning? You get up so early, but I get up late. Let people know. Don't laugh at me for being lazy."

Wei Ruolan asked Zijuan and others to come in to help her brush her teeth and clean her face, and said with a smile: "It's only half a quarter of an hour until Chenshi, and it's too early for grandma to have dinner. I also practice martial arts every day, so I get up early. Besides, our family Just you and me, who is laughing at you?"

Daiyu said, "Some people are making jokes."

After finishing her sentence, she looked at Wei Ruolan suspiciously, and said, "Of course I know that my mother lives in a Taoist temple. It's just that grandma always greets you after dinner? When do you have to wait after dinner? It's too late, what's the matter?" Serving meals for the elderly?"

"Grandmother has her own eldest wife to serve her. Why does the granddaughter-in-law of the separated family go to hold chopsticks and vegetables? I don't want you to work so hard. Besides, I go to grandma's place to say hello. It's always been like this. You come with me, no need Go early. The third aunt only goes once every ten days and half a month, and you will do the same in the future." How could Wei Ruolan be willing to serve her mother-in-law for dinner like a beautiful wife like many daughter-in-laws in the world?What's more, he lives quite far from Wei Bo's mansion, two streets away, he is no longer a family member.

Daiyu asked, "Is it okay to do this?"

Wei Ruolan loves her so much, she is naturally very happy in her heart, she will not go against Wei Ruolan's wishes for the sake of the so-called rules, and serve others just to show dignity.She has long felt that it is ruthless for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law for dinner. Although it is everyone's rule, but for an older daughter-in-law like Mrs. Xing Wang, the children sit at the table and serve the mother-in-law standing by themselves, or they end up eating leftovers The food under the table, or waiting for someone to wash their mouths before returning to the room to eat, looking at the rules and manners, it is really unhuman.

Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "It's okay, our family is separated, so we don't have to go there every day by car. In a few days, we will not be in the capital anymore, let alone these red tapes."

Daiyu nodded slightly after listening.

After washing, she sat in front of the dressing table and let Xueyan comb her hair with a boxwood comb. Xueyan had learned a lot about the hairstyles a bride should comb, and carefully combed the thousands of strands of black hair. Sophisticated bun.

When Xueyan and Daiyu combed her hair, Wei Ruolan ordered someone to bring a jewelry box to choose jewelry for Daiyu.

Because Daiyu doesn't like rich and colorful decorations, she only wears extremely delicate and delicate Danfeng Chaoyang pearl hairpins on the front, small crested hairpins on both sides, and pearls around her forehead. Outside of the heart, there are no hair ornaments and flowers.Wei Ruolan looked at it for a moment, then cut a branch from the pot and put it on the hairpin behind her temples, adding to the beauty.

Daiyu looked at the mirror, raised her hand to gently caress Lanrui, she couldn't help feeling tenderness in her heart, and said: "Flowers are nice, they are more lively and beautiful than those gold, silver, pearls and jade."

Wei Ruolan leaned on the dressing table, opened the dowry, picked up rouge, powder and other things, and said with a smile: "If a person is not good-looking, even wearing a beautiful peony flower is not good-looking, I see, it is not a flower , but people are good, people like celestial beings set off the flowers a little more delicately, as if tainted with a little spiritual energy."

Xueyan and the others pursed their lips and smiled, Daiyu couldn't help showing shame, and said: "Sweet tongue, who did you learn this skill from?"

Wei Ruolan said: "You don't need to learn it, it comes from your heart. Come, let me draw eyebrows for Madam."

Xueyan stepped aside, Wei Ruolan supported Daiyu's face with one hand, and held a brush in the other. Just as she was about to paint, Daiyu suddenly slapped his hand away, and said coquettishly, "What's the rush? You haven't applied makeup yet, how do you paint your eyebrows and lips? "Although she doesn't like to wear makeup, it's a bit impolite to go without make-up during the wedding period, and because of the climate, the skin is prone to roughness and chapping if you don't apply balm.After finishing speaking, Daiyu opened a Xuan kiln porcelain box by herself, which contained a row of twelve hosta flower sticks, picked up one and poured it into the palm of her hand, with a light white and red fragrance, all four kinds were available.

Wei Ruolan saw something familiar, and said: "Could it be that the rouge powder made by Baoyu? There is no such thing in the market, and the powder powder I ordered someone to prepare, it seems that it is not as good as the one brought in your dowry."

Daiyu laughed and said, "No, I saw that Baoyu did a good job, so I asked him to make some for me. The ones bought in the house are useless."

The rouge and gouache purchased in the Rongguo Mansion have long been unusable. They are all unbearable items, and they spent money in two places. Later, when Tanchun took care of the house, he was exempted from the purchase in the mansion. Everyone took the mansion and distributed them separately The two taels of silver I sent people to buy outside, it is also green, heavy and astringent, and lead powder is not good for the body, it is not as good as Baoyu's natural goodness made by grinding purple jasmine seeds and mixing it with spices, so Daiyu refused to treat it badly. I often ask Baoyu for the rouge pollen he made himself.

When she came out of the cabinet, when Baoyu was looking at the dowry, he personally looked at the soap, powder and other things prepared in the mansion. He only said that it was not clean, but he made a lot of it with special effort. I also left a prescription for Daiyu, and when it was used up, I asked the ingenious girls around me to make it myself, which was easier to use than the ones bought outside.

Wei Ruolan knew Baoyu's personality very well, after listening to it, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Bao is not good at anything else, but these things are well done. Could it be possible to open a cosmetic shop in the future?"

Daiyu thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Baoyu will be very happy. He has loved doing this since he was a child."

After applying the powder, she opened a small white jade box engraved with patterns of mandarin ducks playing in water, and said, "This is Baoyu Taocheng's rouge paste, which is also very easy to use." Then, she picked out a little bit with a thin jade hairpin Put it on the palm of your hand, melt it with water, Wei Ruolan reached out and dipped some melted rouge on the fingertips, and wiped it on her lips with her, and used the rest to pat her cheeks.

Seeing that his wife had cleaned up, Wei Ruolan picked up the pen, supported her face, and gently traced on her eyebrows. Her brows were full of spring and her eyes were frowning, showing her daughter's tenderness in the landscape.

Wei Ruolan put down her pen and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go outside for dinner."

The husband and wife went out of the bedroom hand in hand, leaving behind Xueyan and Zijuan with the little girls to pack up the dowry and the clothes, shoes and socks they changed from yesterday. They were all smiling and happy for Daiyu.

After dinner, Wei Ruolan ordered someone to set up a car, and took the same car with Daiyu to Wei Bo's mansion.

Someone has already been waiting, please enter the mansion, just as Mother Wei finished her breakfast under the service of Mrs. Wei, rinsed her mouth, and told Mrs. Wei: "Brother Lang and his wife are about to arrive, and you don't have to go back to your room for dinner. Use some here."

Mrs. Wei agreed, and ordered someone to serve the meal, and ate some of the leftovers.

As soon as the dining table was removed, the maid announced that Uncle Lan and Grandma Lan had come.

In the past, when the mansion called Wei Ruolan and other cousins, they always called Wei Ruolan as the uncle, Wei Yuan as the second master, and Wei Sanshu and his son in order. His uncle was Wei Yuan, and when the servants called Wei Ruolan they all called him Uncle Lan to distinguish them.

When Daiyu heard this name, she looked at Wei Ruolan, her eyes showed a hint of distress, but Wei Ruolan smiled, and took her hand into the room. Affected by that memory, he felt that the family was separated. Even better, without being restricted by Wei Bo and others.

There are still many maids in Weimu's room who have never seen Daiyu before, especially Ping An, who is not as clever as Yi. When Weimu went out, she raised her eyes and saw a pair of beautiful women, the male was like a jade tree facing the wind, and the female was like a beautiful flower shining in the water It is a perfect creation made by heaven and earth, one is unique, it is a hundred times stronger than Wei Yuan's daughter, and it is unavoidable to be saddened.

Daiyu didn't know what this maidservant was thinking, and didn't take her to heart, followed Wei Ruolan to kowtow to Mother Wei to invite Anjing tea.When they got married yesterday, they had knelt down to pay respects to Mother Wei and accepted the gift, so there was no need to give it now, it was just a salutation.

Wei's mother took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I won't say anything else, live a good life in the future, and spread the branches and leaves for the second room."

Daiyu had no words to answer, she couldn't help lowering her head, extremely shy.

Wei Ruolan replied: "Don't worry, grandma, we will naturally live a good life."

Mother Wei smiled when she heard this, and said, "You are a capable child, why should I worry about it? From now on, you will not live alone, and I am too late to be happy!" Pulling Daiyu, she spoke again, It was nothing more than telling her to take good care of the housekeeper and the directors, to conceive and have children as soon as possible, and seeing that it was getting late, Fang let them go to Miaozhen to pay her respects.

On the way, Wei Ruolan said to Daiyu: "Don't take what grandma said to heart. You are still young, and I am young, and there is no elder in the family. Why don't we have children in a few years later, and we can take care of them well?" Come."

Daiyu's face flushed, she thumped him and said, "You just got married, what are you talking about?"

Wei Ruolan put her arms around her slender waist, and said with a smile: "Sooner or later, we have to talk about this matter. Today, when grandma mentions it, it is inevitable that I will say a few words to let you know. You are well aware of the adventure I had, but there are many explanations It makes sense, I also asked people to investigate, and there are many older women who have children safely. Therefore, although I am in a hurry to marry you in, I am not in a hurry to have children, so you should be aware of it."

Daiyu struggled and did not break free. After listening to these words, she turned her head and said, "What kind of adventure did you encounter? You know everything. I used the prescription you gave me to treat it. Before I left the cabinet, even the old doctor Wang said Better than those sisters who are in good health."

Wei Ruolan lowered her head and whispered in her ear: "I've never mentioned this to anyone else. Your Majesty and uncle only said that I got a wonderful book that covers everything, but it's not. I don't know what kind of adventure it is. I used to be young, and I didn’t understand it when I was confused for a long time. Now that I’m getting older, I look at that memory every time I’m free, and I know what happened to me. Someone probably tried to take away my body with three souls and seven souls. , Unexpectedly, I didn't let him succeed, so that person was out of his wits, and I got a great benefit. The so-called strange books are actually the memory of that person. There are many books and things in the memory that I haven't understood yet."

He also explained to Daiyu the meaning of seizing the house, and told a few stories from his memory. The protagonist of the story is to seize the body of another person to survive, etc., but he did not say that the memory of that person involved hundreds of years after the Ming and Qing Dynasties , There was a bizarre era later on, and there was no mention of what the man had said to the officials from the underworld before he seized the house.

At first, he didn't understand many parts of this memory, and there were many things he couldn't see clearly or remember clearly, and some memory images were very messy. However, as the internal strength practice became more and more profound, occasionally he would get some memory images that he hadn't seen clearly before.

Daiyu couldn't help widening her eyes, ignoring Wei Ruolan's intimacy, she asked in surprise, "There is such a thing?"

Wei Ruolan smiled slightly, and picked out some things she understood to tell her, still whispering in her ear: "This matter is too strange, so I never mention it to anyone, just keep it in your heart."

Daiyu nodded hastily, and said: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it anymore, and you shouldn't tell anyone about it either. Be careful, there are people with evil intentions. I thought it was strange before, what kind of strange book did you get, even the manuscript of A Dream of Red Mansions?" All of them. There are several volumes of this manuscript alone. You may not be able to memorize all the books in the room. How can anyone get so many books by chance? One is already very good. And When you lived in my house that year, except for a few servants and luggage, I didn't see you bring much stuff."

Wei Ruolan secretly broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn't mention anything other than a martial arts secret book, a few prescriptions, gold, silver and iron ore, etc., which he told Emperor Changtai. Yu knew that if they knew, they would doubt it.After thinking about it, he said, "You are right. I need to be more cautious in the future." He was amazed at Daiyu's intelligence.

Daiyu snuggled into his arms, with a smile on her face, she said, "I'm very happy, you told me this big secret, and you didn't treat me as an outsider. From then on, you and I are one body, Inseparable."

Wei Ruolan caressed her back with his hands, and said: "Yes, we are a husband and wife, inseparable."

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the Taoist temple where Miaozhen lived.

The couple got off the car at Guannei and went to meet Miaozhen. Miaozhen was watering the flowers with a watering can in the yard. Seeing them coming hand in hand, there were countless joys and smiles on their faces, and said: "Come in quickly. I'm thinking about it." Although I told Lan'er yesterday that you two don't have to come, you will definitely come, and you did."

Because of Miaoyu, Daiyu and Miaozhen are very familiar, many people in the boudoir agree with each other, so she hurriedly took the watering can from Miaozhen's hand and said: "According to me, mother should not have returned to the Taoist temple yesterday."

Miaozhen smiled and said: "I am a monk after all, how can I stay in the world of mortals, I will not bother you young couple."

After entering the house and finishing the ceremony of offering tea, Miaozhen didn't say anything else, but confessed: "I have never been in charge of the family, and I don't know how to manage the middle life after marriage. , you two can make up your own mind about what to do in the future. But if there is anything you can't solve, just come to me, I don't understand, and the old lady and your eldest aunt and third aunt."

Wei Ruolan and his wife naturally obeyed.

Miaozhen didn't plan to keep them for lunch, so she sent them back neatly, and didn't ask Daiyu to come to pay her respects often, she was so tired.

It was noon when I returned home from Weibo Mansion and Taoist Temple.

After dinner, Wei Ruolan took Daiyu to the garden to digest food, showed Daiyu the scenery in the garden one by one, and told her the usefulness of the various houses.Although the garden is a bit smaller than the Grand View Garden, after all, the Grand View Garden was built according to regulations and occupies a rather large area, but its scenic beauty is not inferior to that of the Grand View Garden, and even several places are more clean and elegant than the Grand View Garden.

Daiyu praised her very much, and said: "This is our home, I think everything is good, especially the library built. I will move all the books I brought in tomorrow, and I will collect more books in the future."

Wei Ruolan said: "Except for some heavy furniture and other things for your dowry, don't store them in the warehouse for now. We will leave the capital for Ping'an Prefecture at some point. It will not be free to put them in the warehouse and then pack them out. I don't know." After working in Ping An Prefecture for a few years, we naturally have to carry those books with us."

Daiyu felt reasonable, agreed, and said, "Sure enough, are you sure you want to go to Ping'an Prefecture?"

Afraid that she would be tired, Wei Ruolan supported her and walked out of the garden, said with a smile: "It was confirmed last year, because I was young, I was appointed as the Dragon Guard in the palace. Now I have given the ceremony of weak crown, if It's not that I got married this year, and I have to leave Beijing to take up the post in February and March. I have a month's marriage leave, and when the marriage leave is over, I'm afraid we won't have to wait long before we start our journey."

Daiyu nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then there's really no need to put back those dowry items. You should also pack up all the things you need, so you don't have to rush when you get there."

As soon as he arrived at the room, someone reported: "The stewards inside and outside the mansion have come to kowtow to grandma."

Daiyu was stunned when she heard the words, Wei Ruolan nodded, and ordered someone to come in, and also ordered someone to hand over the roster of servants in the mansion and the list of the main property of the family to Daiyu, and said: "We have only you and me in our family. , so there are not many servants, there are only four or fifty people inside and outside, and the rest are in Zhuangtian shops and other places. Tomorrow, I will call the steward to greet you. You can recognize each steward, so that it will be convenient for the housekeeper in the future."

Hearing what Wei Ruolan said face to face, she clearly entrusted Daiyu with all matters inside and outside the house, all the stewards and ladies in charge trembled, and put aside any intention of embarrassing Daiyu in matters at home. stand up.

Butler Daiyu has always believed in the rule of inaction.

Doing things without doing things, teaching without saying anything, everything is done without beginning, born without existence, doing without relying on it, success without dwelling.

She had just entered the door, hadn't looked at the roster yet, refused to point fingers at the crowd of people in front of her, didn't rearrange their errands, and didn't install the confidantes she brought, she only accepted their gifts, and ordered Zijuan and others to send After receiving the reward, he asked them all to withdraw, and each of them acted according to his errands.

The calmer she was, the more afraid those servants would be to cause trouble, and they acted ten times more respectfully than before, for fear that something would go wrong and become the chicken that the new grandma would use to make an example of others.
