[Red Mansions] The Great Sage gets married
Chapter 47
All living beings on the banks of the Qinhuai River are silent, the flowing river is stagnant, and only a radiant lotus platform rises slowly from the water.
The Bodhisattva on the lotus platform has eyebrows like a small moon and eyes like double stars, holding a jade bottle with a poplar branch, a long hood and a long scarf, and the treasure looks solemn.
"Monkey, have you ever had an epiphany when you lingered in the mortal world for a long time?"
Wukong saluted with palms together, and said with a smile: "The Bodhisattva is joking, and my grandson doesn't want to cross the catastrophe of love. Why do you want to be enlightened or not?"
The matter between him and Jiang Zhu is beyond description.
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned when he heard the words, "When you learned the scriptures in the past, you were still a straightforward person; now that you have become a Buddha, why are you beating around the bush?"
Wukong said bluntly: "I am destined to be married to Fairy Jiangzhu. I have lost to her in the past, and now I can't give up. Compared with my grandson getting a wife, other things have to come later."
The same is true for the catastrophe.
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed softly, "The destiny is yours, but you want to disregard the lives of the common people because of your own personal feelings?"
"What is selfishness?"
When he finished his studies and entered the world, he stole peaches from the Peach Garden, pills from the Tushita Palace, made troubles in the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld.
This is because he is competitive and angry for himself.
When he was rescued by Tang Sanzang at the foot of Wuxing Mountain, he protected him all the way westward to learn scriptures.After more than ten years of ups and downs, sufferings have been endured, and demons have been brought down, and finally went to Lingshan to obtain the scriptures, and use Mahayana Buddhism to save the reincarnation of the common people.
It seems that it is great love and selflessness, and he has been certified as the holy title of Zhengguo, but no one knows, it is just him repaying the monk's favor.
"The calamity is fixed, whether the old grandson can be saved or not is already determined, Bodhisattva."
Since it can be saved, the result is the same whether you sell your life or marry a woman.
The Bodhisattva remained silent.
It is possible to be saved, but if it is at the cost of annihilating himself, how could he be willing to indulge in mortal pleasures and love affairs between men and women?
"Bodhisattvas don't need to worry." Wukong saw through her thoughts, and the corners of his mouth lightly hooked, "Sister Jiangzhu is still alive, and there are still many relatives and friends alive. For her, my grandson can't just stand by. There are also monkeys on Huaguo Mountain. Monkey grandson, you can’t just watch them die, right?”
Guanyin Bodhisattva closed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are confident, I am relieved."
Sure enough, this monkey's nature has not changed. Every time he has a lawsuit with a person, he has to "lose first and then win".
She persuaded: "If you don't say this early, then Fairy Crimson Pearl will become the target of public criticism."
Wukong clapped his palms and smiled, "Hey! This is also because of Lao Sun's own thinking."
Now that the Three Realms are begging him, if he doesn't take the opportunity to seek some benefits for Sister Jiangzhu, then letting her husband go to work for nothing, it seems that he is really useless.
"Leather monkey, you're suing again."
The Bodhisattva was about to return to the South China Sea by riding the clouds. Seeing that she was about to leave, Wukong hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her away.
"Are you willing to say it again?"
Wukong scratched his neck, "The Bodhisattva has a lot of friends and knowledge, and he always asks the Bodhisattva to look at each other on his behalf."
The Bodhisattva asked, "What do you look at?"
"Naturally, it's a good god for my wife."
Wukong pretended to be aggrieved, "She is very strong by nature, if she is low, it is not easy to speak out because of face outside, and it is also a troublesome thing to get angry with grandson when she returns home, and the husband and wife are at odds. This is not good, very bad!"
"Splash the monkey." The Bodhisattva scolded, and without saying yes or no, he drove straight to Mount Luojia on a cloud.
"Snapped--"
As soon as the Bodhisattva leaves, the forbidden technique will be released naturally.Dishes shattered to the ground, the thin sound of silk and bamboo along the Qinhuai River accompanied by the gurgling water resounded faintly, clients and flower girls teased and yelled at each other, and the scene of swaying lanterns was full of luxuries.
Liang Heng raised his hand to drink as usual, but Fei Qiong stopped crying.
"Brother Fei?" Liang Heng was not used to seeing him stop crying suddenly.
Fei Qiong'er looked at the river water and then at Wukong, with doubts in her eyes.He asked carefully: "Just now..."
Something seems wrong.
Wukong didn't expect him to notice it. Just as he was about to speak, a middle-aged man came forward.
The man was dressed in indigo brocade clothes, with a white face and a slight beard, and he smiled very slickly, "Is this the second master of the Rongguo Mansion in the capital?"
Liang Heng saw that this was the fourth master of the Zhen family's offshoot, he couldn't help but fix his eyes, and turned his head to look at Wukong.
Wukong didn't even look at him, he simply said, "No."
Fourth Master Zhen choked, and laughed dryly, "Second Master Bao is really naughty, the one on this neck is the natural jade brought from the womb? It really looks extraordinary."
"Pfft-"
There was a splash of water on the sparkling water, Wukong clapped his hands and said to the man, "Where is there any jade?"
Fourth Master Zhen watched him take off the jade pendant around his neck and throw it into the water, and then listened to his red lips and white teeth talking nonsense, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
Liang Heng said: "What advice can Fourth Master Zhen have?"
The reason why he came to Jinling, the Zhen family knew very well.The reason why Liang Heng still stood still was because Concubine Zhen used her life to temporarily protect them.
Fourth Master Zhen saw that he was putting on a protective posture, so he didn't dare to strike up a conversation with the young master of the Jia family, and said angrily: "Seeing that this young master is kind-hearted, let's talk a little more. There is something else in the house, so I don't want to have a few drinks with you." , Mr. Liang’s drink bill today is all on the villain, so let’s talk about it. Let’s leave.”
After he left, Liang Heng probed into the river, but he couldn't see anything clearly.
He frowned and looked at Wukong: "Why are you so impulsive? I heard that jade is a lifeblood, connected to your life, without the jade, you will be dead..."
Fei Qiong'er poked her mouth with her chopsticks, "That, that's fake."
"fake?"
Wukong laughed, pretended to take it out of his bosom, and showed him his hands, "Look."
The one he threw just now and the one now are both fake, just to perfunctory Liang Heng, just change it up again.
Really, he didn't know where he threw it casually, a piece of mortal stone, who cares.
Seeing a piece of beautiful jade the size of a bird's egg in his palm, Liang Heng let out a sigh of relief, but said: "What kind of vile person is that, just perfunctory him with a few words, really don't need to waste so much trouble."
The Zhen family is now the grasshopper after autumn, but they are lingering on a little old love that is destined to dissipate.When the Taishang Huang passes through this period of mourning, the reckoning will begin.
The three sat in the restaurant until the moon was in the sky, Fei Qiong'er found an excuse to slip away first, turned back into her real body and flew to the capital.
Liang Heng and Wukong walked slowly towards Jia's ancestral house, chatting and looking around.
Jinling has always been rich and powerful, and unlike the capital city, there is a curfew. The small stall owners who are hawking on the street are shouting endlessly, and there is no silence that should be in the middle of the night.
Liang Heng said sincerely, "It's really a good place."
Wukong looked up at the cool moon in the sky, thought of Daiyu in Beijing, and said with a smile: "People say that riding a crane down to Yangzhou, and now it's April, if you can enjoy the prosperity of the world with your beloved, it will be a great joy."
Liang Heng's heart moved, but he said with a smile: "How old are you, and you only think about beautiful things like flowers and red sleeves?"
Wukong rolled his eyes and put his arms around his shoulders, "I'm still early, but within a year or two, a sister in my family will be able to hold a banquet, and I will definitely post a post to invite Brother Liang."
That pair of eyes flashed in Liang Heng's mind unexpectedly, hesitating again and again, he tilted his head and asked: "Before...before... in Mr. Lin's mansion, that girl who was so abrupt...she, did she already talk about her? "
"Never."
Liang Heng's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy.He flared his nostrils, took a few rough breaths, barely restrained his trembling hands, and then asked: "I wonder what rank is that girl in your house?"
Wukong looked him up and down, and jokingly said: "You are a relative of the queen empress, and you are the second-rank official of the dynasty. I am afraid that the princess can marry one, but you want to marry the sister of the noble concubine?"
Liang Heng smiled wryly, and revealed his life experience to him.
"Brother Yu grew up in southern Yunnan. His parents died early, and he was raised by his grandmother. She is the concubine sister of Duke Chengen."
"Brother Yu barely grew up to be 16 years old, and the family was really struggling. My grandmother took me to Beijing and asked Cheng'en Gong's mansion, asking Cheng'en Gong to walk around on my behalf, so that I could attack the government as soon as possible and relieve my embarrassment."
"Who knows..." Liang Heng laughed at himself, "Later, it was really helpless. Grandma sold the last piece of jewelry and took it up and down to clean it up. Only then did my father take care of it."
"Later, he was appreciated by His Majesty and entered the front office of the palace. Only then did he become what he is today."
These things have already been reported to Wukong.After listening quietly, he said: "My elder sister is not of high status. With your current status, I'm afraid she is not a good match. I advise you to think carefully about it."
Liang Heng had guessed a long time ago, and immediately said: "Heroes don't ask where they come from. My grandmother and I are not pedantic philistines, as long as... as long as the lady doesn't dislike Brother Yu..."
Only then did Wukong laugh, "I can't answer for you on behalf of my second sister. I'll wait until I get back to the capital, and I'll ask her first, and then I'll see if you want to come to ask for marriage."
Liang Heng secretly inquired about the news of the Rongguo Mansion, and when he heard about the girl's behavior, he immediately knew that she was the daughter of the first-class general Jia She.
He carefully recalled the scenes of intersecting with Jia Amnesty several times, thinking about whether he was rude in any way.
I don't know if the second lady was frightened when I was at the Lin family last time.
He was thinking wildly, sad and happy for a while, and the expression on his face was constantly changing. Wukong looked interesting and didn't bother him.
Soon on the fifteenth day, the magistrate of Jinling personally presided over the government examination.Wukong took the exam basket prepared by Mingyan and strode into the exam room.
Daiyu is always lost in thought today, and the sisters find it funny when they see it, so they drag her to look at the flowers in the garden.
"Second brother will be back after the three-day exam." Xichun picked a magnolia hairpin and put it on Daiyu's temple, and led her to walk on the soft grass, "How many days does the boat have to sail?"
Daiyu only took a boat once when she was six years old, from Yangzhou to the capital.It was winter at that time, and the boat had been sailing on the canal for more than a month. She and Xueyan were fine, but the nurse Wang Momo was so dizzy every day that she could only lie on the bed and suffer.
Fei Qiong'er sent letters very quickly every time, and she was a little confused about the distances of various places.I had no choice but to guess: "If the wind is smooth, it will take less than half a month to arrive."
The girls found a pavilion to sit and talk, when they suddenly saw Baochai coming, holding Yinger's hand, and they hurried to meet her.
Now Baochai's demeanor is more and more extraordinary, every move is extraordinarily chaste and dignified, but her formerly slightly plump body is getting thinner.
"Accompanying my mother to say hello to the old lady today, just to talk to my sisters."
She took Daiyu's hand, went to the Dicui Pavilion, and turned to Ying'er: "Bring that palace fan for the girls to choose."
Ying'er responded, and brought out a long lacquer box.
There are four Wan fans in there, each with different needlework patterns. The handle of the fan is made of blue cool jade, which feels calm when touched.
Daiyu took a handful of the lady's hairpin and fanned it lightly, "It's always been good, what do you do at home?"
Baochai laughed and said, "I'm always bored, so it's not as lively as yours here."
"Then come back and live in Hengwu Garden as usual." Tanchun fanned the wind, "We also opened a poetry club in winter, and we will take turns to start clubs in the future."
Baochai lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly, and asked, "What are the poems I have written? I must have a good time and read them."
"Baoyu copied it in one place, and the sisters each got a copy." Yingchun ordered Siqi to get his own copy, and said shyly, "Take it back and read it again. I didn't write well. You read it now, it's strange." embarrassed."
Baochai thanked her, looked at the wind blowing in the pond, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "My sisters have all done it, I can't be lazy. Now that there is no snow, I will write a poem to pay for it."
"Let's do it and listen."
Baochai stood by the window, basking in the warm spring breeze, and recited a que "Linjiang Fairy".
"You don't have to blame Fangchen..." Tanchun tasted it again, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, a daughter's integrity."
Daiyu said: "The last two sentences are wonderful."
"These two sentences have been obtained a long time ago." Baochai blushed slightly, "It was the late autumn at that time, and I saw that the leaves of the trees were rustling, and although they fell into the dust, a few were blown into it. In the cloud, I felt something in my heart for a moment."
"'It's good to use the wind to send me to Qingyun'..." Yingchun was stunned, then lowered his head and smiled, "Sure enough, I have great ambitions."
Not everyone can have such an ambition.
A servant girl came to invite her, and the girls went to the old lady's room together.
Aunt Xue went to see Mrs. Wang, and when she came back, her face was as usual, and she couldn't tell what she had said.Sister Feng didn't inquire into it. She was worried about the lack of a card partner, so she hurriedly pulled her to sit down.
Mrs. Xing felt sorry for Yin Zi, but she dared not take the old lady's cards. Both Aunt Xue and Sister Feng were veterans, and they fed the cards without any trace, so that the old lady won a lot of money.
Jia Mu was happy to be flattered by them, but when she was happy, she rewarded each other with something, and asked Yuanyang, "Where are the girls? Call to say hello to Auntie."
All the girls came all at once, and Aunt Xue looked at them one by one, and it turned out that Miss Lin was the most outstanding.
In the past, my elder sister thought she was poorly blessed, and she was the eldest daughter after losing her mother. Now Lin Ruhai has become a grand master, and Baoyu even favors her.
The circumstances of life are really impermanent.Aunt Xue sighed in her heart, and went to see her daughter again.
What will be the future of Bao girl?
The old lady left the mother and daughter to have dinner, and said: "Hengwu Garden is cleaned all the time, why don't you stay for one night before going back today."
Baochai wanted to talk to Daiyu, so she went to see her mother.
"The old lady keeps someone, who dare not listen?" Aunt Xue responded with a smile, and then said to Sister Feng: "I'll just ask Miss Feng to make arrangements."
"It's simple."
Sister Feng immediately ordered Ping'er to pick up the tent, bedding and other supplies, and the other end would be ready in a short time.
In the evening, Daiyu went to Hengwuyuan to talk, but before going out, she took Baochai to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Zijuan had already arranged the beds, and when they saw the two of them coming in, she asked, "Should the girls settle down now, or sit down for a while?"
Daiyu went to see Baochai, who said, "Tomorrow we have to get up early and go home. Let's talk in bed."
The maids brought hot water, the two washed up, and lay down on the couch with all their clothes on.
Xueyan left a night light, put down the heavy curtains and exited the house, and whispered to the Zicuckoo outside.
Daiyu looked at Baochai's outline by the dim candlelight, "What's the matter here?"
The pillows of the two were next to each other, Daiyu's voice was soft and her breath was blue, and Baochai sighed when she heard it, and put her arms around her waist.
"I'm going to the palace."
Baochai sniffed the fragrance of grass and trees in her hair, and said with a smile: "I don't know what to do in the future, if I don't say goodbye to you, with Miss Lin's temperament, I'm afraid she won't talk to me for the rest of her life."
Daiyu was teased by her, and rubbed on Baochai's shoulder, "Is everything ready?"
Baochai nodded, "There are concubines and concubines in the palace to arrange for, so I can only send out one person."
"Only you go by yourself, Ying'er, Wen Xing, don't bring any of them?"
"What is my identity, and I still want to take someone to serve in the palace?" Baochai pinched her cheek, "If the future is good, I can always pick someone to serve, so I can't find it in the world?"
If it is not good, naturally go to serve others.
Daiyu heard the unfinished meaning, closed her eyes and did not speak.
"I haven't congratulated you on Mrs. Lin's matter." Baochai pushed her, "Now you are the daughter of the grand master's family, and besides the young lady of the royal family, you are the most dignified."
Daiyu shot her a look and asked about the girl's arrangements.
"Both Ying'er are born at home, and they will be placed in the mother's room for two years, and when they grow up, they will find someone to match them with."
Daiyu asked: "Then Xiangling..."
"she?"
Unexpectedly, Baochai asked about Xiangling, and said with a smile: "She is in my brother's house, so I should go back to him naturally. Speaking of which, my brother is also discussing marriage now. When the new sister-in-law comes in, it will depend on her arrangement." .”
Xiangling's temperament, talent, and appearance are all in line with Daiyu's eyes, and knowing that she is also from Gusu, she is even more close.
Hearing Baochai say this, I couldn't help but feel a little worried: "The new sister-in-law doesn't know character, if she can't tolerate her, what will happen?"
"This……"
According to Baochai's idea, if she is a concubine and bought by selling her body, it is natural that the mistress will do as she pleases, be beaten and scolded, and serve her left and right respectfully.
Even if a child is born in the future, it cannot be compared with the nephew born by the serious sister-in-law, just like Aunt Zhao and Tanchun and Jia Huan.
But Daiyu specifically asked, and Baochai said, "Her parents' family is completely forgotten. Even if she is released from the house, where will she go to settle down? In my house, although her mother is in charge of her, there is no shortage of food and clothing. "
Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then bit her lips and said, "Why don't you ask Xiangling what she means, if she wants to go home, you may not be able to help her find it."
Baochai raised her eyebrows and looked at her, before she smiled and said, "It's rare for you to open your mouth. I absolutely can't refuse you. It's just that I'm going in there, and I don't care about checking her origin. You are from Gusu, so I can only trust you." is you."
"That's easy." Daiyu nodded in response, then said hesitantly, "If Xiangling doesn't want to go home, she can't be forced."
"My brother is like that..." Baochai laughed and shook his head again, "It is also a merit of mine to release Xiangling."
On the second day, the sisters bid farewell and sent Baochai home.
Aunt Xue asked: "What did you talk about with Miss Lin?"
"It's just an old relationship in the boudoir." Baochai stroked her temple hair and asked, "What did mother and aunt say?"
"Speaking of the lady in the palace." Aunt Xue sighed, "She is being tortured to death by the old lady now, we don't know anything about the outside world."
Baochai lowered her eyes, "Auntie is not going to be successful, we just need to see Baoyu's fortune in the future."
"The empress is in a hurry to let you in, don't have anything..."
Aunt Xue grabbed her handkerchief, "You're shouting so anxiously, and it's the time of national mourning. How can you be so unreasonable?"
The Supreme Emperor buried Concubine Zhen with the ceremony of the Empress Dowager, and the subjects had to mourn for her, and all the feasts and weddings were stopped.
"It may not be necessary as soon as I go in..." Baochai blushed, and said again: "I haven't reached Ji yet, it would be good to get acquainted first."
Back home, Baochai first ordered Yinger to call Xiangling, told Daiyu what she had said, and asked her what she meant.
Xiangling's eyes were red, and she looked at Baochai timidly.
With such a state of mind, Baochai said, "Go back and pack your things. I will take you to Miss Lin's house in a few days. Grand Master Tuolin will help you find out about your family."
Xiangling went out in response, and Ying'er asked: "It's so good, why do you want to let her out? Why don't you quarrel with your wife if you don't see her when you come back?"
"Brother, don't you remember who she is?"
Baochai washed her hands in the silver basin, asked Yinger to wipe it, and said calmly: "Don't say you don't remember, just put it on the tip of your heart. The old lady is about to come in, and the old people have to disperse. Besides..."
Yinger asked, "Besides what?"
Baochai looked back and smiled sweetly, "Besides, the grand master wants someone, how dare he refuse to give it? If my brother asks, he will say that Xiangling is a relative of the grand master Gusu, and that's why his parents asked someone to go to his house, so that's why they went. "
On the second day Baochai returned home, an angel from the palace came to deliver the decree.It is only said that Concubine Xiande misses her cousin, and Xue Baochai is allowed to accompany her in the palace.
Xue's family had received the letter a long time ago, and as soon as their bags were packed, Baochai changed his clothes and immediately entered the palace with the eunuch.
The author has something to say: I don’t want to post Baochai’s "Linjiang Fairy". If you are interested, you can find it~ Thank you for the little angel who voted for me or the irrigation nutrient solution~
Thanks to the little angel who cast [Mine]: 1 Konoha;
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated [nutrient solution]:
Shanshan 20 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The Bodhisattva on the lotus platform has eyebrows like a small moon and eyes like double stars, holding a jade bottle with a poplar branch, a long hood and a long scarf, and the treasure looks solemn.
"Monkey, have you ever had an epiphany when you lingered in the mortal world for a long time?"
Wukong saluted with palms together, and said with a smile: "The Bodhisattva is joking, and my grandson doesn't want to cross the catastrophe of love. Why do you want to be enlightened or not?"

Liang Heng raised his hand to drink as usual, but Fei Qiong stopped crying.

Liang Heng's heart moved, but he said with a smile: "How old are you, and you only think about beautiful things like flowers and red sleeves?"
Wukong rolled his eyes and put his arms around his shoulders, "I'm still early, but within a year or two, a sister in my family will be able to hold a banquet, and I will definitely post a post to invite Brother Liang."
That pair of eyes flashed in Liang Heng's mind unexpectedly, hesitating again and again, he tilted his head and asked: "Before...before... in Mr. Lin's mansion, that girl who was so abrupt...she, did she already talk about her? "
"Never."
Liang Heng's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy.He flared his nostrils, took a few rough breaths, barely restrained his trembling hands, and then asked: "I wonder what rank is that girl in your house?"
Wukong looked him up and down, and jokingly said: "You are a relative of the queen empress, and you are the second-rank official of the dynasty. I am afraid that the princess can marry one, but you want to marry the sister of the noble concubine?"
Liang Heng smiled wryly, and revealed his life experience to him.
"Brother Yu grew up in southern Yunnan. His parents died early, and he was raised by his grandmother. She is the concubine sister of Duke Chengen."
"Brother Yu barely grew up to be 16 years old, and the family was really struggling. My grandmother took me to Beijing and asked Cheng'en Gong's mansion, asking Cheng'en Gong to walk around on my behalf, so that I could attack the government as soon as possible and relieve my embarrassment."
"Who knows..." Liang Heng laughed at himself, "Later, it was really helpless. Grandma sold the last piece of jewelry and took it up and down to clean it up. Only then did my father take care of it."
"Later, he was appreciated by His Majesty and entered the front office of the palace. Only then did he become what he is today."
These things have already been reported to Wukong.After listening quietly, he said: "My elder sister is not of high status. With your current status, I'm afraid she is not a good match. I advise you to think carefully about it."
Liang Heng had guessed a long time ago, and immediately said: "Heroes don't ask where they come from. My grandmother and I are not pedantic philistines, as long as... as long as the lady doesn't dislike Brother Yu..."
Only then did Wukong laugh, "I can't answer for you on behalf of my second sister. I'll wait until I get back to the capital, and I'll ask her first, and then I'll see if you want to come to ask for marriage."
Liang Heng secretly inquired about the news of the Rongguo Mansion, and when he heard about the girl's behavior, he immediately knew that she was the daughter of the first-class general Jia She.
He carefully recalled the scenes of intersecting with Jia Amnesty several times, thinking about whether he was rude in any way.
I don't know if the second lady was frightened when I was at the Lin family last time.
He was thinking wildly, sad and happy for a while, and the expression on his face was constantly changing. Wukong looked interesting and didn't bother him.
Soon on the fifteenth day, the magistrate of Jinling personally presided over the government examination.Wukong took the exam basket prepared by Mingyan and strode into the exam room.
Daiyu is always lost in thought today, and the sisters find it funny when they see it, so they drag her to look at the flowers in the garden.
"Second brother will be back after the three-day exam." Xichun picked a magnolia hairpin and put it on Daiyu's temple, and led her to walk on the soft grass, "How many days does the boat have to sail?"
Daiyu only took a boat once when she was six years old, from Yangzhou to the capital.It was winter at that time, and the boat had been sailing on the canal for more than a month. She and Xueyan were fine, but the nurse Wang Momo was so dizzy every day that she could only lie on the bed and suffer.
Fei Qiong'er sent letters very quickly every time, and she was a little confused about the distances of various places.I had no choice but to guess: "If the wind is smooth, it will take less than half a month to arrive."
The girls found a pavilion to sit and talk, when they suddenly saw Baochai coming, holding Yinger's hand, and they hurried to meet her.
Now Baochai's demeanor is more and more extraordinary, every move is extraordinarily chaste and dignified, but her formerly slightly plump body is getting thinner.
"Accompanying my mother to say hello to the old lady today, just to talk to my sisters."
She took Daiyu's hand, went to the Dicui Pavilion, and turned to Ying'er: "Bring that palace fan for the girls to choose."
Ying'er responded, and brought out a long lacquer box.
There are four Wan fans in there, each with different needlework patterns. The handle of the fan is made of blue cool jade, which feels calm when touched.
Daiyu took a handful of the lady's hairpin and fanned it lightly, "It's always been good, what do you do at home?"
Baochai laughed and said, "I'm always bored, so it's not as lively as yours here."
"Then come back and live in Hengwu Garden as usual." Tanchun fanned the wind, "We also opened a poetry club in winter, and we will take turns to start clubs in the future."
Baochai lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly, and asked, "What are the poems I have written? I must have a good time and read them."
"Baoyu copied it in one place, and the sisters each got a copy." Yingchun ordered Siqi to get his own copy, and said shyly, "Take it back and read it again. I didn't write well. You read it now, it's strange." embarrassed."
Baochai thanked her, looked at the wind blowing in the pond, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "My sisters have all done it, I can't be lazy. Now that there is no snow, I will write a poem to pay for it."
"Let's do it and listen."
Baochai stood by the window, basking in the warm spring breeze, and recited a que "Linjiang Fairy".
"You don't have to blame Fangchen..." Tanchun tasted it again, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, a daughter's integrity."
Daiyu said: "The last two sentences are wonderful."
"These two sentences have been obtained a long time ago." Baochai blushed slightly, "It was the late autumn at that time, and I saw that the leaves of the trees were rustling, and although they fell into the dust, a few were blown into it. In the cloud, I felt something in my heart for a moment."
"'It's good to use the wind to send me to Qingyun'..." Yingchun was stunned, then lowered his head and smiled, "Sure enough, I have great ambitions."
Not everyone can have such an ambition.
A servant girl came to invite her, and the girls went to the old lady's room together.
Aunt Xue went to see Mrs. Wang, and when she came back, her face was as usual, and she couldn't tell what she had said.Sister Feng didn't inquire into it. She was worried about the lack of a card partner, so she hurriedly pulled her to sit down.
Mrs. Xing felt sorry for Yin Zi, but she dared not take the old lady's cards. Both Aunt Xue and Sister Feng were veterans, and they fed the cards without any trace, so that the old lady won a lot of money.
Jia Mu was happy to be flattered by them, but when she was happy, she rewarded each other with something, and asked Yuanyang, "Where are the girls? Call to say hello to Auntie."
All the girls came all at once, and Aunt Xue looked at them one by one, and it turned out that Miss Lin was the most outstanding.
In the past, my elder sister thought she was poorly blessed, and she was the eldest daughter after losing her mother. Now Lin Ruhai has become a grand master, and Baoyu even favors her.
The circumstances of life are really impermanent.Aunt Xue sighed in her heart, and went to see her daughter again.
What will be the future of Bao girl?
The old lady left the mother and daughter to have dinner, and said: "Hengwu Garden is cleaned all the time, why don't you stay for one night before going back today."
Baochai wanted to talk to Daiyu, so she went to see her mother.
"The old lady keeps someone, who dare not listen?" Aunt Xue responded with a smile, and then said to Sister Feng: "I'll just ask Miss Feng to make arrangements."
"It's simple."
Sister Feng immediately ordered Ping'er to pick up the tent, bedding and other supplies, and the other end would be ready in a short time.
In the evening, Daiyu went to Hengwuyuan to talk, but before going out, she took Baochai to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Zijuan had already arranged the beds, and when they saw the two of them coming in, she asked, "Should the girls settle down now, or sit down for a while?"
Daiyu went to see Baochai, who said, "Tomorrow we have to get up early and go home. Let's talk in bed."
The maids brought hot water, the two washed up, and lay down on the couch with all their clothes on.
Xueyan left a night light, put down the heavy curtains and exited the house, and whispered to the Zicuckoo outside.
Daiyu looked at Baochai's outline by the dim candlelight, "What's the matter here?"
The pillows of the two were next to each other, Daiyu's voice was soft and her breath was blue, and Baochai sighed when she heard it, and put her arms around her waist.
"I'm going to the palace."
Baochai sniffed the fragrance of grass and trees in her hair, and said with a smile: "I don't know what to do in the future, if I don't say goodbye to you, with Miss Lin's temperament, I'm afraid she won't talk to me for the rest of her life."
Daiyu was teased by her, and rubbed on Baochai's shoulder, "Is everything ready?"
Baochai nodded, "There are concubines and concubines in the palace to arrange for, so I can only send out one person."
"Only you go by yourself, Ying'er, Wen Xing, don't bring any of them?"
"What is my identity, and I still want to take someone to serve in the palace?" Baochai pinched her cheek, "If the future is good, I can always pick someone to serve, so I can't find it in the world?"
If it is not good, naturally go to serve others.
Daiyu heard the unfinished meaning, closed her eyes and did not speak.
"I haven't congratulated you on Mrs. Lin's matter." Baochai pushed her, "Now you are the daughter of the grand master's family, and besides the young lady of the royal family, you are the most dignified."
Daiyu shot her a look and asked about the girl's arrangements.
"Both Ying'er are born at home, and they will be placed in the mother's room for two years, and when they grow up, they will find someone to match them with."
Daiyu asked: "Then Xiangling..."
"she?"
Unexpectedly, Baochai asked about Xiangling, and said with a smile: "She is in my brother's house, so I should go back to him naturally. Speaking of which, my brother is also discussing marriage now. When the new sister-in-law comes in, it will depend on her arrangement." .”
Xiangling's temperament, talent, and appearance are all in line with Daiyu's eyes, and knowing that she is also from Gusu, she is even more close.
Hearing Baochai say this, I couldn't help but feel a little worried: "The new sister-in-law doesn't know character, if she can't tolerate her, what will happen?"
"This……"
According to Baochai's idea, if she is a concubine and bought by selling her body, it is natural that the mistress will do as she pleases, be beaten and scolded, and serve her left and right respectfully.
Even if a child is born in the future, it cannot be compared with the nephew born by the serious sister-in-law, just like Aunt Zhao and Tanchun and Jia Huan.
But Daiyu specifically asked, and Baochai said, "Her parents' family is completely forgotten. Even if she is released from the house, where will she go to settle down? In my house, although her mother is in charge of her, there is no shortage of food and clothing. "
Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then bit her lips and said, "Why don't you ask Xiangling what she means, if she wants to go home, you may not be able to help her find it."
Baochai raised her eyebrows and looked at her, before she smiled and said, "It's rare for you to open your mouth. I absolutely can't refuse you. It's just that I'm going in there, and I don't care about checking her origin. You are from Gusu, so I can only trust you." is you."
"That's easy." Daiyu nodded in response, then said hesitantly, "If Xiangling doesn't want to go home, she can't be forced."
"My brother is like that..." Baochai laughed and shook his head again, "It is also a merit of mine to release Xiangling."
On the second day, the sisters bid farewell and sent Baochai home.
Aunt Xue asked: "What did you talk about with Miss Lin?"
"It's just an old relationship in the boudoir." Baochai stroked her temple hair and asked, "What did mother and aunt say?"
"Speaking of the lady in the palace." Aunt Xue sighed, "She is being tortured to death by the old lady now, we don't know anything about the outside world."
Baochai lowered her eyes, "Auntie is not going to be successful, we just need to see Baoyu's fortune in the future."
"The empress is in a hurry to let you in, don't have anything..."
Aunt Xue grabbed her handkerchief, "You're shouting so anxiously, and it's the time of national mourning. How can you be so unreasonable?"
The Supreme Emperor buried Concubine Zhen with the ceremony of the Empress Dowager, and the subjects had to mourn for her, and all the feasts and weddings were stopped.
"It may not be necessary as soon as I go in..." Baochai blushed, and said again: "I haven't reached Ji yet, it would be good to get acquainted first."
Back home, Baochai first ordered Yinger to call Xiangling, told Daiyu what she had said, and asked her what she meant.
Xiangling's eyes were red, and she looked at Baochai timidly.
With such a state of mind, Baochai said, "Go back and pack your things. I will take you to Miss Lin's house in a few days. Grand Master Tuolin will help you find out about your family."
Xiangling went out in response, and Ying'er asked: "It's so good, why do you want to let her out? Why don't you quarrel with your wife if you don't see her when you come back?"
"Brother, don't you remember who she is?"
Baochai washed her hands in the silver basin, asked Yinger to wipe it, and said calmly: "Don't say you don't remember, just put it on the tip of your heart. The old lady is about to come in, and the old people have to disperse. Besides..."
Yinger asked, "Besides what?"
Baochai looked back and smiled sweetly, "Besides, the grand master wants someone, how dare he refuse to give it? If my brother asks, he will say that Xiangling is a relative of the grand master Gusu, and that's why his parents asked someone to go to his house, so that's why they went. "
On the second day Baochai returned home, an angel from the palace came to deliver the decree.It is only said that Concubine Xiande misses her cousin, and Xue Baochai is allowed to accompany her in the palace.
Xue's family had received the letter a long time ago, and as soon as their bags were packed, Baochai changed his clothes and immediately entered the palace with the eunuch.
