[Red Mansions] The Great Sage gets married

When Yingchun entered the house, Mrs. Xing was drinking hot tea, and there was a row of concubines standing in front of her, making rules.

"Mrs."

Mrs. Xing glanced at her, tapped the lid of the tea lightly, "Did you get the monthly money?"

Yingchun lowered her head, staring at the toe of her shoe, "I got it, Siqi—"

Siqi moved his lips, but still took the purse from his pocket, "Two liang of silver, it's all here."

A maid stepped forward to pick it up and handed it to Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Xing cushioned the cushion in her hand, untied the tie and took a look, then stroked her forehead and said: "I'm tired, you can go back."

Yingchun squatted and was about to leave, Madam Xing suddenly said: "You go to Lin girl's place to sit more every day, and your eyes are brighter. She is about to have a great fortune, you coax her, she A little leakage from your fingers will last you for half a year."

What she said was embarrassing and blatant, Siqi frowned, afraid of hurting the girl's face, and alienated Miss Lin instead.

Unexpectedly, Yingchun only lowered her head and responded gently.

The little girl opened the curtain, Siqi followed the girl for two steps, then turned to Mrs. Xing and said, "Madam, I was careless in serving, and I lost the lady's handkerchief for a while. Please ask my wife, don't be pickled by anyone." The scoundrel picked it up."

Yingchun sighed inwardly, as expected Madam Xing put down the teacup heavily, and snorted coldly: "You are a dead person? You can't even look at a handkerchief! Now you are asking me, but where can you find it?"

"There is no name on it, it's just an ordinary orchid pattern, it's not worth anything, mother doesn't have to worry about it."

Madam Xing was satisfied now, she glanced at Siqi, and hummed, "Back off."

The two walked into the garden hand in hand, seeing a thin layer of snowflakes falling on the road, Siqi stared at the feet for Yingchun.

"Why did the girl give all the money to the wife?" Siqi couldn't help worrying, "Seeing that it's cold and the girl lives on the water, if you want to buy something, if you don't have money, who will care about us?"

"It's been like this in previous years, what's wrong with it?"

Siqi stomped his feet, "What's the same? The girl is now a big girl, and she always has to dress up, and the big sister will follow the girls to read and write, and we will spend more pen and ink..."

Who would have thought that the daughter of the dignified Duke's mansion would be so shy.

"It doesn't matter if you choose the unremarkable ones to exchange for a few taels of silver from the old ladies and wives who rewarded them in the past."

Yingchun is used to passing through, but Siqi has a violent temper, and immediately asked: "How much of the girl's head jewelry is left now? We became small heads, and the big ones were stolen by that screwer!"

Here, Yingchun's nanny is the most rampant, looking at the girl with a soft face and a kind heart, she acts without any scruples.The good things in the master's house, as long as she knows about them, she can always find a way to get them away.

Yingchun sighed, "They won't get along for a while, and they will take it for turnover, and they will always send it back."

Siqi couldn't see her like this, and was about to speak, when he saw Zijuan helping Miss Lin over, and hurriedly stopped talking.

"Second sister."

Daiyu saw that the faces of the two of them were not right, so she smiled and said, "Why are you standing on this air vent and freezing carefully?"

Yingchun smiled softly, and walked hand in hand with her, "I stood still while talking, but I don't feel cold. Why is my sister coming here, but what's the matter with Mrs. Xun?"

"I'm here to find my second sister."

Daiyu turned her head to look at Zijuan, who took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it over.Yingchun realized that it was the one she had lost, and hurriedly thanked Daiyu.

"I can't thank you. The little girl in my yard picked it up, and Xue Yan saw it and recognized the handkerchief as the second sister's."

Yingchun lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief, thinking of Mrs. Xing's attitude just now, and seeing Daiyu's earnestness, she felt inexplicable.

Daiyu saw the gloomy look between her brows, and hurriedly said: "The plum blossoms in my house are just in bloom, and I'm planning to invite my sisters to enjoy the flowers together tomorrow, can Second Sister be free?"

Yingchun covered her lips and smiled softly: "Sister Lin has said this several times, but we have never been to her house."

Daiyu blushed, "The capital was noisy before, and my father told me not to walk around easily in my grandfather's house, so I delayed it."

Lin Ruhai was the main force to bring down the King Zhongshun's family. He was used to being cautious, so he was afraid that the thief who slipped through the net would wait for an opportunity to retaliate.There are guards when he goes in and out, and his daughter is a weak willow in the boudoir, but she can't make the slightest mistake.

Yingchun just teased her, seeing her say that, she smiled and said: "Let's go and tell Fourth Sister, she must be very happy."

For a while, Xichun Tanchun told everything, and Daiyu wrote a post to Xiangyun with Qiu Shuangzhai's pen and ink.

Tanchun asked: "Uncle is on business in Jinling, so we should come over, is it a bit inappropriate?"

The Lin family didn't have a mistress, and Daiyu was a young lady herself, so this banquet always felt a bit inappropriate.

"Third sister, don't worry, there is a nanny in charge of the backyard in our house, who can always take care of us properly."

Hearing what Daiyu said, Xichun hurriedly made a list of Gusu snacks, "Sister Lin must make her make it for me to eat tomorrow!"

Daiyu touched her forehead, "What a glutton."

The sisters talked lively, but no one remembered to say "Baoyu is going too", Wukong sat on the beam anxiously scratching his heart and scratching his liver, looking at Daiyu who was smiling like a flower, grinding her teeth.

He simply stepped out of the courtyard, knocked on the door and walked straight into Qiushuangzhai.

"I heard what the sisters were talking about from outside."

Daiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Say you go to Jinling in the spring, can you be on the list?"

Seeing her narrow smile, Wukong felt happy too, and said: "She has studied hard since she was a child, but I am a monk halfway through, so I feel worried."

Daiyu saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and her heart moved, "Just take the test with a normal heart, and it is not necessary to get the first place in the test..."

Wukong blinked, "I don't know what to do, why don't I go to my sister's house with my sisters tomorrow. You can just enjoy the flowers and snow, and I will read the classics and historical articles in the study."

"I said this monkey is playing tricks!" Daiyu spat at him, blushing and said to Sanchun: "In the past, when I asked him about studying, I always knew it well, but today he has changed his mind..."

"It must have been listening to us talking outside." Tan Chun shook his head and said with a smile: "Sister Lin is the host, and you have offended her, so we won't be able to eat this table."

"I'm my uncle's serious disciple, and I'm sister Lin." Wukong said straightly, "Is there any reason for you to refuse me when you come to the door?"

Daiyu glanced at him, "I was enlightened by my father when I was four years old. To be honest, what kind of senior brother are you?"

The two of them quarreled, Sanchun only watched the excitement, but Daiyu was ashamed by the look, so she stopped.

In the evening, when I went to the old lady's place for dinner, Daiyu talked about appreciating flowers, and Jia's mother asked, "Baoyu is going too?"

"Go, go!" Wukong hurriedly said: "The sisters don't go out very often, so I can rest assured that I will escort them."

Mother Jia nodded, "Your uncle is not in Beijing, and Lian'er is injured again, so the sisters will entrust you to take care of them."

Daiyu was just playing tricks on him, but now that her grandmother speaks, there is no reason not to refuse.

The next day was a fine day, the girls dressed properly, first went to the upper room to greet the old lady, had breakfast together, and then escorted to the Lin Mansion led by Wukong.

Mrs. Fang graciously invited him to Daiyu's courtyard, where hot tea had already been prepared.

Waiting for the girl to rest for a while, she smiled and said: "According to the eldest sister's wishes, today's lunch is served in the Nuan Pavilion. The cooks in our house can cook two dishes of each series. The items listed on the food list That's all, just see if there is anything you want to eat temporarily, if you haven't prepared the ingredients, you have to buy them as soon as possible."

Sanchun was a little shy and cautious, so Daiyu said: "There is still Miss Smith not here, she doesn't like light vegetarian food very much, so let's prepare some more meat."

Mrs. Fang wrote it down, and said with a smile: "Second Master Bao is still drinking tea in the study, should we prepare another table for him, or stay with the girls?"

After hearing this, Sanchun went to look at Daiyu, only to see her nod her head lightly, and said, "They are all in one place."

Xichun grinned first, "Mama please go and invite the second elder brother here."

Mrs. Fang smiled and went, and first told the girl what to say, and then went to invite Wukong in person.

Tanchun took a sip of goat's milk red date tea, looked up and saw two girls who looked like maids busy adding charcoal cores to the hand stove, and then looked at Daiyu's elegant and luxurious furnishings in the room, and felt a little sore in his heart.

"Try this."

There was an extra plate of almond cake in front of Tanchun, Daiyu smiled sweetly: "This is still made according to the recipe you said last time."

"Then I'll have a good taste." Tan Chun lowered his eyes and smiled, dispelling the self-pity in his heart.

"Smith is here."

The embroidered curtains were drawn outside, and a gust of cold wind blew into the room, which was soon warmed by the heat.

Xiangyun untied the cloak by himself and handed it to Cuilu, leaned over to the table and asked with a smile: "What good food do you want to eat, give me a taste too!"

Daiyu laughed at her: "Grandmother always said that you learned the rules at home, but you still look the same as before."

Mentioning this Xiangyun wrinkled his face, and stuffed a cake into his mouth viciously, "That's not how people live."

She is used to being open-mouthed, but Yingchun still said: "It's fine for you to talk to us, but don't talk nonsense everywhere..."

Otherwise, if the two wives Zhongjinghou and Baolinghou heard about it, what would they think?

Xiangyun waved his hand, not sure if he listened or not.

When Mrs. Fang invited Wukong to come, Qingyuan Zhuhe felt a little hesitant to speak when she saw the outsider enter the girl's boudoir.

Xueyan Zijuan led the chess master and others to talk in the side room, when they heard Wukong's voice, they looked at each other and squeezed their eyes.

Siqi played a bit each, and asked, "What's the matter with you two?"

Xueyan lowered her voice, and said to them: "This is a long story. When our girl was in Gusu, my wife had four big girls to serve me. Except that I accompanied the girl to study and came to your house together. The other three stayed at home in Yangzhou."

"When the master came to Beijing, one of them grew up, so he went home with her to get married. The remaining two are still in the girl's courtyard."

The servant said: "I saw it when I entered the door, and I wondered where these two people appeared."

"The two of them were very rigid brought up by the nanny. Seeing the second master Bao at this moment, you might be so scared." Zijuan said and sighed: "If it wasn't for the girl's own house, it would really be wrong to spread the word." good."

Siqi was naturally rebellious, and immediately sneered and said: "Men and girls grew up in the same place, and it's not that they are alone in the same place, why can't they even eat wine and tea? According to me, the suspicious person is that one." Most nasty bastard."

Zijuan knew her temper well, so she sighed, "Your mouth is only the second girl's who can tolerate you."

"You can't tolerate it. When I grow up, I will always break up." Siqi shook his head when he thought of Yingchun's temper, "Before I go out, I must tidy up all the screwers and thugs in the girl's room, so that I can rest assured. "

They were talking on the sidelines, but their ears were always paying attention to the movement of the master. When Miss Shida said that she was going to visit the garden, they all put down their fruit and snacks and came out.

Zhu He fastened a fox fur and a crane fur coat on Daiyu, and wanted to follow, so as to separate his daughter and Bao Erye, but it was hard to say when he saw Zijuan and snow geese coming out.

The Lin family's garden is not that big.Because Lin Ru's name and status were not determined when he was in Beijing, he didn't know what official title he would get, so in order to be safe, he only looked at the one that was right in the middle.

But the Lin family has only two masters, one is busy with official duties, and the other doesn't live much at home.Mrs. Fang was afraid that the servants would spoil the Lin family's style by being idle and used to gambling for money, so she led them to tend the flowers and arrange the garden every day.

The girls are used to living in the Grand View Garden, and the scenes they see every day are carefully crafted to please the royal family, so they gradually become elegant and picky with their knowledge and taste.

But the garden of the Lin family happened to have a plum grove, and only Quicui Nunnery had plum blossoms in the Grand View Garden.

This is also a bit of taboo for rich families like Jia Mu and the others. They think the homonym of plum blossom is not good, and they are afraid that it will ruin their luck.

The sun is fine in the sky, and yesterday's thin snow had already melted, so Xiangyun said: "It's time for a heavy snow day to come again."

Everyone laughed at her and went to the forest to enjoy the flowers.

The nearly one hundred plum trees are all old plums brought from the home in Gusu. The gardener skillfully took care of them.

Xichun felt itchy for a while, and pulled Daiyu's sleeves, "Sister Lin..."

Daiyu ordered Zijuan to arrange the pens and inks of the case, and said with a light smile: "The fourth younger sister has a good work today, don't forget to give me a pair."

Wukong also said: "This green calyx plum is very interesting, I also want to ask my fourth sister to draw one."

Xichun put on a grimace, refusing to agree to anyone's words, and went to find the flower and tree she wanted like a butterfly.

Only Daiyu and Wukong were left standing outside the forest. They looked at each other and walked under a red plum tree together.

"The flowers are blooming well, how about breaking a few branches and putting them in a vase?"

"My house is not big, so what kind of flowers should I put in. It's better to bring some flowers to my grandmother."

The two agreed, and they picked out the plum branches that bloomed well and had buds together.

Xiangyun watched from a distance, a little dazed.Yingchun was walking past her, so she asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Sister Yun?"

Xiangyun followed her with his head down, silent.

"But is it tight at home?"

Xiangyun raised his hand to grab a small branch of wintersweet, and gently inserted it on Yingchun's temple, "I'm a little confused, and I don't know who to talk to."

Yingchun remembered that she had made an appointment, and said, "Baoyu and that young master of the Wei family are acquainted. If you ask him about his appearance and character, they are good things to say."

"He... I've seen him before..."

Xiang Yun hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I just don't understand why a man and a woman get married?"

She is a heroic and straightforward person. Although her words are a bit offensive, she has no evil intentions.Since she grew up to this age, she has neither been admonished by a strict father nor comforted by a loving mother. She has been fostered in her uncle's house and has no roots of her own.

Because her aunt loved her because her parents died, she often took her to Rongguo Mansion, where she ate, lived and played with Baoyu since she was a child, and her relationship was very different from others.

But when I came back with my uncle's foreign appointment, a girl Lin came to Rongguo's mansion, and she also sat and played with Baoyu, talking to relieve boredom.

Baoyu was originally a philanthropic and affectionate person, but now he seems to regard Daiyu as "the favorite of love".She was disappointed, and also a little jealous, but if it was for the sake of love, it didn't seem like it.

How could Wei Ruolan, who didn't even have any affection for Baoyu, whom she knew well, and who had only met once, be a good couple?

Yingchun, who is also a girl, couldn't figure out what was on her girl's mind, so she just said: "When a girl grows up and doesn't start a family, doesn't she become an old girl?"

Xiangyun sighed and gave up his plan to talk with her.

When it was time for lunch, Mrs. Fang came to ask Daiyu, "Young lady, should I put it on now, or wait a little longer?"

Thinking that the food in winter is easy to be cold, Daiyu ordered the banquet to start as soon as possible.The sisters came out of the woods, laughing and going to the warm pavilion.

After passing Chaoshou Corridor, one more Moon Cave Gate should be reached.Xichun was lovingly letting her second elder sister rub her wrist when she suddenly saw Mrs. Fang rushing over.

"Master is back! Girls remember..."

Xichun was leaning against Yingchun and acted like a baby, when she was startled and stepped on the empty steps.Yingchun's sharp eyes and hands quickly pulled him into her arms, but she was holding him for a while, and she was about to fall down.

Wukong took half a step forward, but took it back without a trace.

"Be careful girl."

Yingchun fell into a cold and hard chest, and her ears buzzed.She couldn't hear what the man said, so she looked up blankly.

It was a pair of deep dark eyes.

"Second sister, be careful."

Wukong took her from the man's arms, pulled the cloak over Yingchun's head, covering both her and Xichun, and then took the man's arm to the other side of the moon cave gate.

Lin Ruhai was originally talking to Liang Heng, when he saw him running towards the backyard suddenly, and was pulled out by Wukong again, he was taken aback immediately: "Why are you here today?"

Embarrassed, Wukong cleared his throat, clasped his fists and said, "I've seen my uncle."

Lin Ruhai looked at the two of them up and down, then looked at the door of the moon cave, saw Mrs. Fang standing by the door, and asked, "But send your sister back?"

Wukong nodded, "My sister invited my sisters to enjoy the flowers, and my ancestor ordered me to escort..."

Lin Ruhai frowned upon hearing this.

It's one thing for him to be unconventional, it's another thing for someone to covet his daughter.They all came from being young and frivolous, whoever is fooling whom!

"Follow me to the study!" Lin Ruhai scolded, then turned to stare at Liang Heng: "This moon gate separates the front yard from the back yard, why did you go there?"

"Little nephew...Little nephew..." Liang Heng stole a glance at Wukong, not daring to speak.

He would not admit to those gentle and cowardly eyes.I just don't know if the girl belongs to the Jia family or the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai saw that it was tricky, but he didn't want to force the women's family's name festival, so he just flicked his sleeves, "Go to the study!"

If it weren't for Mr. Lin being a scholar, his eyes were on fire, and he spoke in a gentle manner, without even saying the word "scroll".Liang Heng smiled wryly, resisting not to look back, and went out to the study with his head down.

Wukong was startled to realize that the old father-in-law had seen through his thoughts, and was a little apprehensive, and had no intention of caring about the looming red rope of Yingchun.

The two of them were dejected and carried away by Lin Ruhai, and the girls who were separated by a wall surrounded Yingchun and they were still in shock.

"You can't mess around anymore, if this... If this gets out..." Tanchun stirred the handkerchief and looked at Daiyu.

Daiyu is the owner of the family, and she felt very guilty when something like this happened: "Second sister, fourth sister, don't worry, no one in the house will talk nonsense. As for that... my father will definitely tell him. Baoyu is following, he has a sense of proportion."

Yingchun came to her senses, she couldn't help crying, "Sister Lin, my life and death depend on you."

If the master and wife found out, she would not be able to live!

Daiyu hugged her and comforted her softly, seeing that her makeup was stained from crying, she took her to her room to tidy up her appearance.

Xichun was a little frightened, and secretly pulled Daiyu's sleeves to follow them. Tanchun and Xiangyun looked at each other and sighed.

Lin Ruhai just came back from Jinling. The journey was full of dust and dust, and she was a little hungry.Seeing that the two younger generations were drooping, it was not easy to reprimand them, so they just ordered the kitchen to send some meals.

"This is my nephew Baoyu, the second son of the government official of Rongguo." Lin Ruhai squinted at Wukong again, "This is Mr. Liang, the commander of the commander in front of the palace."

Wukong greeted Liang Heng with a fake smile, thinking that the old father-in-law, who was only a third-rank scholar in the Ministry of Rites, was overwhelmed by a brat.

Liang Heng remembered that girl, he was afraid that she was Wukong's sister, and Lin Ruhai's further promotion was a certainty, so he didn't dare to take it too seriously, he just clasped his fists in return: "Although I am a few years older than you, I am of the same generation, and I can only be called a brother." yes."

Lin Ruhai was protected by Liang Heng all the way, and he admired this down-to-earth and humble junior from the bottom of his heart.He intended for Wukong to make friends with him, so he motioned for the two to sit down for a while, then turned and went to the inner room to change clothes.

As soon as he left, Liang Heng lowered his voice, "I didn't intend to offend, and I'm really sorry. Don't worry, I won't reveal anything about what happened today!"

Wukong glanced at him, "That's all?"

Liang Heng blushed, and said in a low voice: "If... if you can't make up for it, I, I haven't... not yet..."

The author has something to say: Old father-in-law: defend Chinese cabbage to the death!

Dasheng: My grandson is not a pig!

The old father-in-law lit a cigarette in vicissitudes: It's cold, it's time to beat the mandarin ducks and become the head of the feudal family~
