[Red Mansions] The Great Sage gets married

The four princes and eight princes are old friends for many years. This Beijing king was crowned not long ago, and he was born beautiful and luxurious. Jia's mother used to like him very much.

It's just that today has changed, and the two saints are fighting, and if they make a wrong move, the whole family will suffer.In the past, there was no way but to rely on King Bei Jing, but now that the empresses in the palace have grown up, and the younger ones have grown up, it would be very unwise to meddle with the prince.

"Go to the garden and call Baoyu to meet the guests."

Jia's mother went to change the clothes of the visitor. Jia pardoned and Jia Zheng had already welcomed him into the mansion respectfully.

King Beijing has always had a good reputation, and he treats people with humility and courtesy. Jia Zheng admires him very much, so he is more lively and affectionate than Jia She.

"Mr. Zheng is too polite. Shirong's visit this time is to pay tribute to the second son of the He family."

Jia Zheng repeatedly sent someone to urge Wukong, and then courteously invited the king of Beijing to drink tea, "This little phoenix was sent by my sister-in-law. There is no good tea in the mansion to entertain the king. Only this tea can barely pass the king's respect." mouth."

King Beijing hastily resigned, then raised his hand to sip it lightly, and said with a smile: "It doesn't smell good at first, but the aftertaste is endless. It really is the famous Yinsi Shengxue. Taishi Lin is really a wonderful person."

Jia Amnesty listened to them drinking tea from the sidelines, drank it in two sips by himself, seeing Jia Zheng's condemning eyes made him happier.

He is not reckless, but he just likes to watch this polite and sour scholar stomp his feet in distress.

Wukong bid farewell to Daiyu, and had just stepped into the main hall to greet him, before Jia Zheng could reprimand him, Jia Mu sent someone to invite King Beijing to come to the upper room to speak.

Jia Zheng could only swallow the scolding, and asked King Beijing to go to the old lady.

Mother Jia had already changed her clothes, with a kind smile on her face, "My lord, sit down quickly, I'm being rude."

"What did the old lady say?"

King Beijing has beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he looks like the old man's favorite junior when he is talking and laughing. "It was Shirong who took the liberty to visit, thinking that there were so many people congratulating him during the day, so it would be difficult to mess up again, so he avoided it at this time."

"Baoyu's family is only a tribute student, how can he be worthy of the battle of the prince." Jia's mother is always cheerful, and she can't see the closeness and estrangement, "If you fall behind in the future, wouldn't you want to make fun of it? "

"The old matriarch is always overthinking. Brother Bao is very good at his feet, and he worshiped Grand Master Lin as his teacher. If he is about to fail, no one will pass the exam."

I have heard too many words like this today, and the old lady felt a little bored, so she asked about Princess Beijing.

Only then did King Bei Jing show a little sad expression, "Mother has occasionally suffered from a cold since last time, and it has been dragging on until now and she is still not fully recovered. The exhausted princess also fell ill."

Jia Mu silently nodded.Whether Wang Taifei's illness is true or not is yet to be discussed, and Princess Beijing should be real.

"The concubine is getting old, and she needs to be cautious when using medicines, so she can only be warmed up."

King Bei Jing sighed, nodded and said, "It's precisely this concern that has dragged on for several months."

As if he didn't want to talk about these troublesome things anymore, he smiled and asked Wu Kong beside him: "The wagtail incense rosary that I gave to Brother Bao last time, do you still like it?"

Jia Mu glanced at Wukong, and said first: "Meng Wang thinks highly of him, but it is a royal gift. He is a naughty monkey, how dare he wear it on his body? The old man decided to keep it for him."

King Beijing Jing's face was slightly condensed, and he picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Wagtail is also known as "Zhang Feiniao", which means brother.The emperor gave him a rosary of wagtail incense, both as a comfort and a warning.It was the same meaning that he gave Jia Baoyu as a gift.

If Jia Baoyu accepts it but does not use it, the Jia family has a double heart.

This symptom has been there for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be irreversible, because I am determined not to attach to him anymore.

"Old lady, Master Lin is here."

Mother Jia cast a glance at King Beijing Jing without a trace, and raised her hands to order Brother Jia Shen to pick him up.

It's really lively tonight.

Lin Ruhai has been busy with the funeral ceremony behind Dowager Zhen for the past two days, and has not come to visit for a long time.Jia Amnesty felt strange in his heart, and was a little tentative in his words.

Lin Ruhai said: "The Holy One has just delivered an oral order, ordering me to go to Qianxiang Country, and I will leave tomorrow. I will come to say goodbye to the old lady and see Yu'er again."

Jia Zhengqi said: "The Qianxiang country is full of women. They have nothing to do with us in the court except for paying some things every year. How come you want to go to them as an envoy?"

Lin Ruhai showed a look of embarrassment, and Jia Amnesty said first: "The emperor's confession is also easy to inquire about? Ruhai is leaving Beijing, so let's just take care of our niece."

Jia Zheng lowered his head in embarrassment, Lin Ruhai didn't want to create any quarrel with his two brothers-in-law, so he said, "This is not a secret matter, it's just that the frontier guards came to report, and there seems to be some changes in Qianxiang Kingdom."

Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty turned out to be such a thing, and said worriedly: "Has the guard been decided?"

His charming son-in-law, Liang Boduan, is still wandering in Jinling, and he doesn't know if the other people are reliable.

"The Holy Majesty has already decided that they are all good hands in the Imperial Army."

As they spoke, they reached the old lady's yard. Yuanyang opened the curtain, squatted down and smiled and said, "Young master is here, and the old lady is looking forward to it!"

Lin Ruhai knew that King Beijing was here, so he lowered his face and lowered his sleeves, "I've seen the prince."

King Beijing hurriedly got up and returned the half-respect, "The Grand Master is polite. Xiao Wang is young, so he only calls me Shirong."

Lin Ruhai himself is a person who is good at pretending with gentleness and humility. Compared with him, King Bei Jing is really immature.

The Lin family is not easy to get involved in the affairs of four kings and eight princes. He gently rejected King Jingjing's overtures, and said to Jia's mother: "My son-in-law will go on a long journey tomorrow. I hope the old lady will take care of her health and treat her son-in-law." Come back and listen to your mother-in-law's instruction."

Mother Jia didn't ask him where he was going, but just patted the back of Lin Ruhai's hand and said with a smile, "I'm fine in Beijing. When you're away, just focus on your errands and don't miss me."

Lin Ruhai responded, and Jia's mother said to Yuanyang, "Take my uncle to see Miss Lin."

It was supposed to be Daiyu who came to visit the old father, but with a foreigner like King Beijing Jing, it was difficult for her to come out.

Yuanyang led Lin Ruhai into the garden, King Jing of Beijing rolled his eyes, and started talking to Jia Mu again.

"The concubine's illness never recovers. She is mentally weak, and she dare not make her tired anymore. There is no one to take care of her in the house, and it is a mess."

Jia Mu heard something wrong, looked at his face with frowning eyes, and said with a smile: "Princess Wang is young, and she has only a few minor problems. She will recover after a few days."

Yingchun in the mansion has been promised to Liang Heng, and Tanchun and Xichun are still young, not good enough for marriage.Even if he marries ten or eight concubines and side concubines, it has nothing to do with his family.

Because it was a national funeral and it was not easy to entertain guests, King Bei Jing saw that the sky was getting dark, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Wukong followed the two brothers Jia She and went to see off the guests. Seeing the people getting into the silver sedan chair and gradually leaving Ningrong Street, he turned back and walked back.

Jia Zheng managed to catch Wukong with great difficulty, and hurriedly taught him a lesson: "My lord is a corporal, and I value you again. You spend less time hanging out in the garden, and more time walking around the palace in Beijing. You will definitely benefit from it for the rest of your life."

Wukong lowered his head, with a hint of hostility between his brows.

"Mother said she won't let you discipline Baoyu any more, don't give him such bad ideas." Jia Amnesty patted his sleeves and went back to the big room to see his good grandson.

Jia Zheng was stunned by him, so he couldn't talk anymore, and went back to the study angrily, and brought Jia Huan to teach him a lesson as usual.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu cuddled on her father's shoulder once, and then told him to take care of herself.

She made a long list of medicines and handed them to her father, "These pills are what my father often takes, as well as those for avoiding miasma and pests, and for relieving heat and qi. You must prepare them all."

Lin Ruhai stroked her temple hair, "Father has remembered, Yu'er must also remember to take care of her body."

The old lady ordered the kitchen to prepare meals for their father and daughter to eat at Xiaoxiang Restaurant.

A small moon hung in the night, Daiyu bid farewell to her father, glanced at Yihong Courtyard, feeling slightly puzzled in her heart.

He didn't come to see his father off, and he closed the door and didn't come to talk to himself, it really didn't fit his temperament, it was really strange.

She asked Zijuan: "Baoyu is in front, but was scolded by the second uncle?"

"The old lady repeated orders not to teach the second master to scold him, who would dare to make him angry." Zijuan shook her head, guessing: "Perhaps because the King of Beijing is here, I have been promising the prince, and I am a little tired."

Daiyu was worried, so she sent Xueyan to talk to Xiaohong.

Xiaohong was enjoying the cool in the yard, watching the little girls chatting under the rose trellis in twos and threes.Open a watermelon from the cold water in the well, cut it into small pieces and put it on a white porcelain plate.

"Sister Xueyan."

My second master often went to Xiaoxiang hall, and the maids from Yihong Courtyard also got acquainted with them.When the little girls saw the snow geese coming, they hurriedly dragged her to eat watermelon.

Xueyan took a piece in her hand, talked with the little maids with a smile, then went to sit at Xiaohong's place.

Xiao Hong suffered from the heat during the day, and was a little listless. When she saw her, she asked with a smile, "Did the Grand Master leave?"

Xueyan handed her the watermelon, "The girl cried a lot and sent the master out."

She looked at the lit window and asked, "Where is Second Master Bao studying?"

"After sending Prince Beijing back, he was bored in the study all the time. The second master didn't ask for food, so we didn't dare to ask. We could only heat soup on the stove to prepare him for hunger."

"What's going on here?"

Xueyan is used to seeing Wukong amused in front of her own girls, and forgets that he will also be unhappy sometimes.

Remembering what happened to the attackers, Xiaohong never dared to presume, so she shook her head and said, "If the second master doesn't tell, how dare you ask."

Xueyan went back and reported the words to Daiyu. Seeing that the girl frowned, she also became annoyed.

"Why don't you go and see the girl?" Baoyu must be happy to see the girl.

Zijuan patted her lightly, and said angrily: "You don't even know what time it is, how can a girl go to the man's yard at night?"

Daiyu remembered this matter, so she couldn't sleep well at night.Xueyan heard her tossing and turning in the room, so she put on her clothes and went to talk to her on the couch.

"Master is protected by the Imperial Army and is an envoy from the court, so nothing will happen. As for Master Bao, it won't be too late to ask him when the girl sees her tomorrow..."

Daiyu turned her face inside and didn't look at her, she just said in a muffled voice, "I know, go to sleep."

Xueyan had no choice but to go back to sleep.

Wukong was lying on the roof of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, listening to Daiyu's faint sigh, he hooked a sleepy bug and threw it into the room.

Daiyu's heart was disturbed, she was in a state of depression, suddenly felt drowsy, she yawned before she could cover her hands, she fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

Dangling in the dream, I came to the sea of ​​sorrow again.Daiyu looked around, but she didn't see the great man who was in love coming with a pole, so she lowered her head and took off her silk shoes, and went to the sea to play on the waves.

The sea water is black, it should be something to be feared, but Daiyu likes it for no reason.It was rare for her to feel mischievous, holding her skirt with both hands, kicking and spinning in the water with her bare feet.

When she was tired from playing, she sat by the beach to rest.Suddenly, a small crab with a red shell drilled out of the sand, and swung its big pincers at her imposingly.

"Do you want to pinch my feet?"

Daiyu tapped on its back, and seeing that it didn't open its pincers, she held it in her palm and looked at it carefully.

The little crab's shell was still a little soft, and it was neatly folded in her palm, with its two eyes protruding out, motionless, a little dumbfounded.

Daiyu couldn't help saying: "Sure enough, little monkeys are cuter."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she remembered that when she ate peaches for her birthday last year, that poppi seemed to have said the same thing, and she couldn't help but blushed.

The little crab didn't know if she understood, and crawled out of her palm sideways, and went into the sea water on its own, gradually disappearing.

Daiyu listened to the sound of the waves and was about to put on her shoes when she looked up and saw a small boat coming slowly from the depths of the sea of ​​sorrow.

The white canvas reflects the black sea water, breaking through the turbulent waves, as if it has the courage to move forward.Daiyu was absorbed in watching, and suddenly saw a man standing on the deck.

He is a young man as bright as the morning glow.

Stretching out her hands in front of her, Daiyu raised her face and smiled at him, "I know you."

"Yes."

The man sighed, and something hot was burning in his bright eyes, "You have known me for a long, long time, thousands of years."

Daiyu didn't feel shy when the outsider stared at her like this, she just shook her head and smiled slightly: "You lied to me."

"I will not lie to anyone if I lie to you."

The man took her hand and walked along the seaside with fingers intertwined, "I've wanted to do this for a long time, but you're always shy."

"Shouldn't I be shy?" Daiyu tilted her head to look at him, with playful cunning in her eyes.

The man didn't speak, with the most gentle smile in the world on his lips, and the gaze on her face was affectionate and warm.

Daiyu's face was burning red, and she turned her head slightly: "What's your name?"

"My name is... Sun Wukong."

Daiyu shook her head, "I don't recognize someone with that name."

Wukong laughed, and rubbed his thumb twice on her delicate skin, "Because when I called this name, I was no longer by your side."

Daiyu looked into his eyes, "Then what was your name before?"

"Little stone." He said seriously, "Your little stone."

small stone……

The birds in the corridor chirped a few times, and Daiyu woke up from the dream, feeling lost in her heart.

"small stone."

She murmured, hugging her knees and looking at the green branches and leaves outside the window, she unexpectedly thought of a pair of fiery eyes.

That person, called... what is his name?

"Girl is awake?" Zijuan helped her raise the curtain, and said with a smile: "The old lady worships Buddha today, so don't teach the girls to pay her respects. Let's eat in our own yard."

Daiyu got off the couch and was dressed and washed by Zijuan.

Zicuckoo shook her hairpin, looked left and right, and when it was ready, she invited the girl out for dinner.

"By the way, did the girl have a dream at night? I heard from Xueyan that she seemed to be chanting a name all the time."

Daiyu was taken aback, "I never dreamed."

"Maybe she got it wrong." Zijuan picked up chopsticks for her to mix with vegetables, "Girl, after eating, go outside for a walk. Today is cloudy and not hot."

Daiyu was [-]% full after eating, so she put down her chopsticks, "Come with me to Yihong Courtyard."

It was quiet in Yihong Courtyard, the little girl was watering the begonias with a kettle, when she saw Daiyu's master and servant coming in, she hurriedly announced loudly: "Miss Lin is here!"

Xiaohong ran out in a hurry, and welcomed him in with a smile, "Second Master just had dinner and is going to talk to a girl."

Daiyu saw that Wukong hastily took his hand out of the water basin, and didn't use the handkerchief to dry it, just wiped it on his body twice, and was about to come to pull her, so she took a half step away.

"How come the older you are, the worse it is when you were young." She said angrily, and wiped his hands with her handkerchief, "I can't wear any more clothes, go inside and change into new ones."

"I'm in a hurry to see my sister, so I'm being perfunctory."

Wukong lowered his head and pulled the front of his clothes to have a look. Seeing that the water stains on it were half dry, he waved his hand, "No need to change it, it's hot, it should be dry in a while."

Daiyu gave a low laugh and stopped talking about him, the two of them walked out side by side, ready to take a walk to digest food.

"I saw the prince yesterday, but you feel uncomfortable?"

The younger sister's gentle words were heard in her ears, and Wukong's troubles disappeared.

Now he made up two jokes, which made Daiyu tremble, and then replied: "That prince is very annoying, I was thinking about how to teach him, so I forgot to see my uncle off."

"Father doesn't care about these customs."

Daiyu frowned and said worryingly: "He is the prince, you can do whatever you want in the mansion. Going outside is not a joke."

"Sister, don't worry." Wukong didn't want to see her frown, patted his chest and said: "I just want to think about it, and I won't be confused."

Daiyu looked him up and down, and then she was relieved.

There is order in the world, it's okay to indulge once in a while, but it's not good to always rely on magic.But it is not difficult to deal with a Jing Wang, Wukong just waits for the time to come.

What was really bothering him, no one would ever know.

Wukong sighed inwardly, and took out a sandalwood box from his sleeve.

As soon as the box was opened, a brilliant light shone out, Daiyu closed her eyes, and only then did she see that the glowing light was a bead.

This bead is neither gold nor jade, and it is not as huge as a bright moon luminous bead. It is full of pure and holy aura, and seeing it makes people feel at ease.

Daiyu asked, "What is this?"

"This is what I gave you." Wukong put the bead into Daiyu's hand, "My sister hangs it around her neck and never leaves her body for a moment."

Daiyu had never seen him look so serious before, she held the bead and nodded solemnly: "I remember."

Only then did she realize that the bead had been threaded through the net, so she turned her back and put it on her neck.

When it touched her skin, the brilliance of the beads faded a lot, leaving only a faint glow.Although it looks luxurious, it is not as rare and precious as before.

"If you don't tell me, I won't ask." She took Wukong's hand and said seriously: "But you must remember, if you are not good, I am not good either."
