Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Spring goes and autumn comes, five years of time are fleeting.

Wei Ruolan and Daiyu are still in love with each other, but they have never had any heirs. No matter how many rumors there are outside, the husband and wife are still standing still, watching flowers and bamboos, playing with each other every day, and they are really at ease like gods.

The empress likes Daiyu very much, and it is her intention that she will have no children for life, but Daiyu and Wei Ruolan are very affectionate couples, and they are not as quarrelsome as the royal family, so the empress inevitably ordered the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital to take the pulse of the two of them, and when they returned It is said that the husband and wife are healthy and there is nothing wrong with it. It is too late to have no children at this time.

The queen thought about it, but there was no good plan. She thought that the time hadn't come yet, so she could only bring Daiyu into the palace as a companion.

At the same time, Wei Ruolan was reused by Emperor Changtai, and faintly became the number one in Emperor Changtai's confidant.

No one is more worthy of Emperor Changtai's trust than Wei Ruolan. He is not corrupt, has an upright character, is loyal and courageous, and is dedicated to serving the country and the people. Chen Qi and Chen Lin are no match.

Wei Ruolan and Daiyu are highly valued by Emperor Changtai and favored by Empress Jiang. Although they are not public, they are in the limelight. Even if outsiders are jealous and want to gossip about them being married for many years and having no children, they dare not be blatant. It should be noted that it is human nature to follow others, who would dare to offend them?

It is strange to say that if other people encounter such a thing, they must be in a hurry, or pray to gods and Buddhas, or seek medical advice, or accept concubines, but this young couple never acts like this. They are still enjoying themselves.Some wives who had contacts with the Wei family ordered Daiyu to burn incense and worship the Buddha. She would go there occasionally for relaxation, but she never prayed to the gods and Buddhas.Because of this incident, I don't know how many people are whispering behind their backs.

Once Xichun couldn't help asking, Daiyu smiled and said: "If praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is useful, wouldn't everyone go to burn incense every time something goes wrong? The world is so big and there are so many people, how can the gods and Buddhas be so busy?" How many people can be saved by just talking about saving all sentient beings? Why don’t you just listen to our uncle and let nature take its course.”

Since Xichun married Han Qi, she has given birth to a daughter for the first time, and last year she gave birth to a son. Han's mother is so happy, she loves her eldest granddaughter the most, probably because this granddaughter does not look like Han Qi, nor like Xichun. It looks very much like Han Mu.

Yingchun is older and has the most children. Now she has four sons. Her parents-in-law and husband like her very much, and they praise her for being blessed.

Among the sisters, Daiyu, Baochai and Xiangyun are the only ones who have not yet had children.

Not to mention Daiyu, Xiangyun is strong and strong, and he has been married for many years and has no children. It is really surprising, but Ge Xu is not Wei Ruolan. The mother decided to take in two maids in the house, but unfortunately she still did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, and took in two more last year, but there is still no news.

Daiyu already believed Wei Ruolan's words that the offspring was not the fault of one person.

However, Baochai has no children so far, but it is because she and Baoyu are drifting away. She often persuades Baoyu to make contributions. Baoyu kept his filial piety for a year.

With the ability to make rouge pollen, draw beauties, make lamps and kites, and have the blessings of brothers and sisters, and income such as house rent and land rent, Baoyu does not worry about food and clothing, and does not fall into the "cold winter choking, snowy night surrounded by broken stations" He felt safe and happy, but Baochai was quite dissatisfied, and always advised him to get a civilian background in the army first, and then make achievements.

Baoyu sighed: "Why did it become a dead fish's eye?" Before getting married, although Baochai was not a priceless jewel, she was a pearl that she couldn't match, but now she has lost her precious color at a young age. , Turned into a dead fish eye.

Baoyu couldn't help thinking again, not all women turned into dead fish eyes after marriage, and what he said before was wrong.

Xichun's character and temperament are still the same as those of her girlfriends, but Baoqin has changed a bit, but her precious color has not been lost, and her second sister and Xiangyun have also changed. Baochai became too powerful alone.

The one that hasn't changed at all is Daiyu, and Baoyu is full of emotion.

In the past five years, Daiyu has not done nothing. She is obsessed with poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has won a little fame in the literary world.It was Wei Ruolan who didn't want to bury Daiyu's talent, so he ordered someone to publish it and put it in the library at home. He believed in Daiyu's talent, and within half a year, there was already a collection of funeral flowers in everyone's hands.

In order to prevent the third person from knowing, some poems written by Daiyu when she was in Rongguo Mansion were subtracted from the funeral flower collection, such as Begonia poems, chrysanthemum poems, peach blossom poems, catkin poems, etc., but the funeral flower poems remained.

One is that the sisters did not know the burial of flowers, and the other is that Wei Ruolan thinks that the burial of flowers is the swan song of poetry.

The poems and songs in the collection of funeral flowers are either reminiscing about life experience, or having fun in the boudoir. There are good sentences about flowers, mountains and rivers, and folk customs. reputation.

Outsiders admire her so much, but they don't know that Layman Jiangzhu is Daiyu, even the sisters in the boudoir don't know, after all, there are no poems she wrote in front of the sisters, but Baoyu recognized Daiyu's handwriting at a glance, as beautiful as Si, so graceful, so ingenious, who else has this skill besides the fairy land outside the world?

Therefore, Baoyu believes that life should be like this in the world, rather than changing oneself to adapt to the world.

On this day, Wei Ruolanping rebelled and returned to Beijing. Changtai Emperor Longyan Dayue named him a first-class loyal and brave marquis, and rewarded him countless times. .Wei Ruolan is reluctant to part with his current residence, he built it specially for Daiyu, so he politely declined the gift of the mansion, and changed to expand the mansion regulations.

Baoyu was full of joy, when she heard that Liu Xianglian had returned to Beijing with her, and had been awarded the post of guerrilla general in the Beijing camp, she was about to congratulate Wei Ruolan, when she met Liu Xianglian, Chen Yejun and others, she heard Baochai again Words of advice.

Baochai's mouth was very bitter, so how could she not persuade her?Baoyu is intelligent by nature and is inferior to hundreds of others, so she just doesn't do her job properly.Wei Ruolan was made a marquis and paid homage to the prime minister, and Daiyu's status rose accordingly; Han Qi was an official of the third rank, Xichun was a third-rank gentleman; Very high, after all, he is not white, and he will have a bright future in the future, after all, he was born as a Jinshi; even Xiangling, the maid bought by his family as a concubine, is now awarded the fifth-rank pleasant because her husband joined the army, and she is no longer as humble as a concubine in the past .And Li Wan, thanks to Jia Lan's service in the army, finally put on Fengguan Xiapei.Only because of my husband's mediocrity, I have to stick to my duty, and I wear a jingchai sarong.

Baoyu listened impatiently, and said coldly: "I have never loved fame and wealth since I was a child. What use are you and me? I know a little about romance, but when it comes to secular economy, I don't know anything about it, even in the military." I can’t even do a job as a copyist.” It’s thanks to Daiyu’s lack of money that he was able to live now, if he didn’t know that he should take on the responsibility of supporting his family, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be making rouge, pollen and kites. Sell.

Baochai's eyes turned red, and she choked up and said, "Why don't I know what the second master said? It's just that the second master grows flowers and plants and makes some rouge and gouache. Second brother asks for advice, saves up some skills, at least finds a decent job, looks good. Even before the old lady dies, she still has second master's future in mind."

Baoyu frowned and said, "What is a serious job? For me, what I do now is to make a living. In the past, you yourself said that studying is to help the country and the people. If you can't, it's better to farm and trade. Why do you change now?" Now? You can even value farming and business, so why do you look down on my rouge gouache? If there is no my rouge gouache kite beauty lamp, how can there be enough food and clothing today? I advise my sister to calm down and don’t force her anymore." After finishing speaking , walk out with a flick of his sleeves.

When we arrived at the gate of Zhongyonghou's mansion, we saw a continuous stream of congratulators, horses on carriages blocked the whole street, Baoyu got off his horse, and managed to get in smoothly. Sure enough, Liu Xianglian and others were there, only Feng Ziying was missing.

Seeing him, everyone laughed, "Baoyu is here, and I'll be waiting for you."

Baoyu took a closer look, and saw that the banquet was full of old friends, and she couldn't help but be very happy. What made Baoyu most at ease was that everyone didn't judge their status based on their status.

Daiyu ordered people to prepare food and wine, and then ordered someone to pass a message to Wei Ruolan: "I don't want to eat too much, I persuade my second brother to eat more."

As soon as the maid went out, someone reported: "Grandma, someone is coming from the south. The two women said they were sent by the elder." He still ordered his servants to call himself and Daiyu as Grandpa and Grandma.

Daiyu frowned slightly, although Uncle Wei is far away in Jinling, but he has a lot of troubles, he wrote seven or eight letters a year to Wei Ruolan asking him to take concubines, and even gave away several stunning women he bought in Jiangnan The child came over and bluntly told Wei Ruolan to spread his branches and leaves, but Wei Ruolan sent them back, spending his own money to buy someone for himself?Wei Ruolan immediately cut off the supply over there. Uncle Wei didn't do these things again this year, so he doesn't know why he sent someone here again today.

Thinking of this, Daiyu's expression became a little faint, and she ordered someone to come in. The two women greeted her respectfully, with joy on their faces, and said with a smile: "Congratulations grandma, congratulations grandma, we came by coincidence , coincides with Lord Hou's great joy, if the master knows that Lord Hou was granted the title of Marquis at a young age, he will be extremely happy."

Daiyu was noncommittal and asked, "Why did you come here for this trip?"

One of them hesitated, and the other hurriedly said: "If you go back to grandma, the elder feels deeply that there is no one in the clan, so he sent the iceman to hire a virtuous lady, but he has very little money, which is not enough for the dowry fee, so Send the younger ones to ask Lord Hou for help."

As soon as Daiyu heard it, she understood that she had come to ask for money.

Xu Shi knew that his future was hopeless, Uncle Wei became more and more impatient, and 3000 taels of silver per year was not enough for him to spend. A few years ago, he sent someone to write a letter, one ordered Wei Ruolan to take a concubine, and the other asked for money.Fortunately, Wei Ruolan has a firm heart, no matter how threatened Uncle Wei is, he will send out 3000 taels of silver with great fanfare every year, not much, not a lot.

Daiyu didn't agree, but ordered someone to arrange them to live temporarily and hand them over to Wei Ruolan.

Wei Ruolan is funny and angry at the same time, counting his age, Uncle Wei has passed his destiny, what decent family would marry their daughter to him?Could it be that he admires his own power?Although he was not a marquis before, he was still a first-rank official, and there were many flatterers.

Wei Ruolan also did not agree to Uncle Wei's request, but sent someone to investigate. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Jinling, Uncle Wei had already married.It turned out that when they got the news that he was a marquis, the power was even stronger than before. The woman's family was afraid that Uncle Wei would repent, so they no longer cared about the amount of the dowry, and hurriedly set a date to achieve a good deed.

The woman is just an ordinary farming and studying family, but the daughter is quite beautiful. This year, Uncle Wei saw it and went to apply for a job. The most important thing is that Uncle Wei deeply felt that the children in his house were dying. Wei Yuan wondered if he would return to Beijing. Day, and Wei Ruolan has no children, and it is even more sad that her grandson will be in her line, so she thinks about marrying a wife.The family knew the power of the Wei family, and saw that Uncle Wei was well-clothed and well-fed, far from being comparable to their own family, so they were so happy that they agreed.

Since there was no right or wrong, Wei Ruolan let it go, and sent someone to send 3000 taels of silver and some food and clothing a year anyway, which also counted as her filial piety to this biological father, and nothing else could be done.

Knowing the truth, Daiyu also found it funny, and inevitably felt a little melancholy.

Wei Ruolan ordered someone to invite the imperial physician, but Daiyu asked puzzled, "What is the imperial physician for?"

Wei Ruolan said: "Since I came back to Beijing, you have always been lazy, as if you were sick. The weather is not very good recently, so I'd better ask the doctor to see what's important." He didn't say that he felt that Daiyu's pulse was different, and Daiyu hadn't changed her clothes for four or five days, and the maids didn't dare to say it because they were afraid that the joy would be in vain. It was Mammy Liu who reminded him.

After so many years, he also has a little understanding of medical theory, and he pays great attention to Daiyu's physical condition.

Not long after, the imperial physician was invited, and after the pulse diagnosis, he cupped his hands and smiled outside the tent: "Congratulations, Lord Hou, congratulations madam, madam, this is a slippery pulse, and it is less than a month old."

Daiyu stayed in the tent for a while, and suddenly wept with joy.

Wei Ruolan was also ecstatic, and everyone in the mansion was even more joyful.
