[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

45,

Ever since Mother Jia started to manage the housework again, even though Wang Xifeng was there to help her, Mother Jia was still a little bit powerless. After all, she was getting older, and Mrs. Wang had put a lot of her own people in over the years. Powerless.

Mrs. Wang has also been aggrieved these days. Although Wang Xifeng is her niece, seeing her climb up to Jia Mu, now she is devoted to filial piety in front of Jia Mu, and she is becoming more and more disrespectful to herself.

It happened that Tanchun was filial to herself in front of her. This girl Tanchun was not her own, but she listened to her in everything. Mrs. Wang saw her doing things neatly, so she wanted to make her face in front of Jia Mu.

Just looking for an opportunity, Wang Xifeng happened to be ill and was still very ill.This Wang Xifeng was pregnant before, and she was seven or eight months old. She lost the housework and was still a boy with handles.It stands to reason that this miscarriage should be taken care of well, but Wang Xifeng saw that Mrs. Wang had lost her power and concentrated on doing things, endured the pain after the miscarriage, and persisted until now, causing a blood collapse.

This is a serious matter, Wang Xifeng, who was originally in good spirits, was lying on the couch, her hair was half up, and she was wearing a red forehead wipe, she looked bad.

As soon as Jia Lian entered the room, seeing Wang Xifeng's appearance of not recognizing her as a ghost, she wanted to say something to her, but seeing her appearance, she couldn't say anything, so she just sighed, stood for a while, and then went out.

Seeing Jia Lian like this, Wang Xifeng said angrily, "I'm already like this, and he won't say a few words of comfort. He will be happy when I die."

Ping'er quickly said: "Grandma, why bother to say this, second master naturally loves grandma, because grandma is usually so strong, second master can't say it."

Wang Xifeng hugged the thin quilt on the lid's stomach and said: "This family is becoming more and more difficult to manage."

Ping'er was listening and tried to persuade: "Grandma is sick this time, why don't you take a good rest and make plans for yourself."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng frowned and said, "If it wasn't for this family, why would I bother with this matter? It's not because I see that our eldest wife is not in the eyes of the old lady, so I rush to do these things like this."

Hearing this, Ping'er couldn't help worrying for Wang Xifeng, grandma had done a lot of work these years, but few people said grandma was good, there were a lot of complaints, it was really thankless.

Seeing Ping'er sitting aside and not speaking, Sister Feng thought that she had been really tired for the past few years, so she couldn't help but sighed and said, "That's all, that's all, I'll take a good rest this time when I'm sick."

"Grandma is right, you should take a good rest." Hearing this, Ping'er hurriedly said: "There are many masters in the mansion, none of them are human beings, only Grandma is honest, rushing to do this thankless job." thing."

Wang Xifeng thought it would be difficult to be caught between the old lady and the second wife, not to mention that Wang Xifeng's health is really getting worse.

Wang Xifeng was ill, and Jia's mother had no choice but to use Li Wan and Tanchun, but these two were still obedient, and Jia's mother thought she had to beat them hard.

Besides, after Wen Renlin waited for two days and finally got the emperor's will, he knelt in the queen's palace and listened to the order of marriage. Wen Renlin didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.

The emperor looked at his expression, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you unhappy? Didn't you beg for Miss Lin back then!"

Wen Renlin hurriedly raised his head and said with a smile: "Father, isn't this son so happy that he is speechless!"

The emperor snorted coldly, and said: "The decree of the marriage is coming to Jia's mansion soon, and the wedding is still one year away. Your mother will prepare other things for you. You just need to rest the house." It's a done deal.

Wen Renlin naturally thanked her with a happy face.

On the other side of Jia's mansion, seeing the eunuch passing the decree, Mother Jia led the crowd to receive the decree in the lobby, and the eunuch passing the decree asked, "Miss Lin is here."

Mrs. Wang knelt down and was taken aback for a moment. Just as she was about to answer, she listened to Jia Mu telling Yuanyang to pass on Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu heard that the eunuch who passed the decree came, and the mandarin ducks also came. Thinking that she had never seen this in her previous life, she followed the mandarin ducks to the lobby in happy clothes.

Everyone secretly glanced at Daiyu, seeing that she was still so cold, they were silent.The eunuch who delivered the decree was not the eunuch Xia who often came here, and Jia's mother didn't want to make random connections, so she had to ask someone to serve good tea.

The eunuch didn't drink tea, so he just smiled, and when he saw Daiyu coming, he pretended to cough and began to announce the decree.

The purpose of this marriage was also simple, firstly, he praised Daiyu well, then said that the two were a match made in heaven, etc., and finally said that they should get married in one year.

Daiyu couldn't believe it after hearing the marriage decree, she looked up at the eunuch, the eunuch handed the marriage decree to Daiyu, Daiyu held it in her hand and looked at it, it clearly wrote her own name.The eunuch looked at Daiyu like this, smiled and said, "Congratulations to Miss Lin."

Daiyu hurriedly withdrew a gold bracelet from her hand and handed it to the eunuch who passed the decree, saying, "Eunuch, take it to tea."

The eunuch took the gold bracelet and said: "Miss Lin, you are polite, please tell me if you have anything to do in the future."

Jia's mother said beside him: "Thank you, father-in-law. I don't know where he is on duty." Jia's mother looked at the young father-in-law, but the two attendants next to him looked respectful, thinking that it might be the eunuch next to the emperor.

The eunuch who delivered the decree looked at Jia Mu, and said with some alienation: "Old Madam, I dare not be, but it's just a message, it's not worth mentioning." Then he left.

Mother Jia was a little displeased when she saw this eunuch who didn't know how to flatter her, but she was overwhelmed by the happy event when she saw Daiyu who was holding the marriage decree.Jiamu took Daiyu to the inner room, and said as she walked, "Yu'er, you are very happy now!"

Daiyu lowered her head as if in a dream, and suddenly thought of the scene of Wen Renlin helping her to pop the blood blisters on her feet, and she blushed for a while, when Jia Mu saw it, she smiled and said, "Yuer Also grown up."

Mrs. Xing followed Jia Mu and said, "This is a great joy."

Everyone in Jia's house was very honored to hear this, as if Lin Daiyu was from Jia's house, they all looked like they were having a happy event, Mrs. Duwang's face was pale, and there was no sign of a happy event.

Mrs. Wang thought that she had stolen Daiyu's things before and was found out. Now that she has gained power, she wondered if she would take revenge on her, and felt uneasy.

Jiamu took Daiyu's hand and talked about the marriage. Daiyu was listening and thought that Jiamu would just say a few words. Unexpectedly, Jiamu was in a good mood today, and finally said Daiyu's dowry.

Daiyu looked at the few people in Jia's house, all of them were smiling, if it wasn't for what happened in her previous life, she would really think that these people are really happy for her, Daiyu smiled secretly, it's always just the icing on the cake, but the one who gives charcoal in the snow is never No.

Due to the successive incidents in the mansion recently, Mother Jia thought it would be better to take this opportunity to have a good time, so she deliberately said to Daiyu: "From now on, you have to start buying dowry, and you can leave these things to your two aunts." Go do it, you are a little too restrained, why don't you all have fun in the yard tomorrow."

Daiyu was very displeased when she heard this, she felt a little strange when she thought about the marriage granted by the emperor, she thought how she was given a marriage for nothing when she was powerless, and thought that the fifth prince had a weird temper, although He has the grace of saving his life, but he has never been serious about himself.

What's more, as soon as the marriage was conferred, they were celebrated in the mansion, and I don't know what others will say when it spreads!

"Grandmother, this matter is fine, we don't have to be called frivolous." Daiyu said bluntly.

Mother Jia was taken aback, looking at Daiyu, she didn't expect that Daiyu would dare to refute her face, so she immediately said: "Who dares to say that in the dignified mansion of the state." Jiamu looked at Daiyu, took Daiyu's hand and said : "Did Yu'er hear some gossip?"

Daiyu pulled out her hand, looked directly at Mother Jia, and said, "Grandmother, I stay in my room all day, so I can't hear gossip. It's just that at the eldest princess's birthday banquet, the little princess of Nan'an seemed to be a little bit dissatisfied with me." good idea."

Rongguo Mansion and Prince Nan'an Mansion have always been on good terms, and Mother Jia and Concubine Nan'an are also very close, but for some reason they have rarely seen each other in the past few months.

When Daiyu said this, Mother Jia thought for a while, and remembered that the little Nan'an princess was still young, about the same age as Xichun, and she was polite when meeting Mother Jia.Mother Jia thought for a while and then said: "Nan'an Prince's Mansion and our mansion have a good relationship, Yu'er may be thinking too much."

Seeing that the topic was successfully changed by herself, Daiyu lowered her head and smiled and said: "Grandmother, I thought there was a misunderstanding at first, but the little Princess seems to be disrespectful to me when she sees me. I think I have never been with her. We have known each other, and we have never had any contact with each other, so I really don’t understand why she targets me everywhere.” Daiyu said, looking at Jia’s mother, she said: “Many noble ladies in Beijing must have heard about the little princess. You can ask."

The Jia family has long lost the right to speak in the court, and now it is only relying on the old relationship in the past to have some contacts with the four princes and eight princes. As for the Nan'an palace, Mother Jia naturally does not want to cut off this contact like this.

Now that she heard what Daiyu said, Mother Jia waved the crowd away, and Daiyu naturally retreated when she saw this.Naturally, forget about this lively matter, Zuo Zuo's mansion's economic situation is not good now, and no one except Jia Mu will take the initiative to mention it.

Here Daiyu went back to her room, and Xueyan waited on her to wash her face and drink tea, and brushed her temples.Dai Yupu wrote half of the book of poems on the desk, picked up the pen and continued to write, Xue Yan was watching, hesitant to speak, Lan Ling was watching, pulled Xue Yan and asked: "Miss Gang has not been out for a long time. Then I heard someone talking about a happy event, could it be that the Jia family's empress is having another happy event."

Xueyan glanced at Daiyu, and said to Lan Ling: "It's a happy event, it's our lady's big happy event, but Jia's house has nothing to do with it."

Lan Ling let out a cry, and Yan Gui from outside the house came into the house, put freshly picked flowers from the yard in a bottle and placed them on Daiyu's desk, Qiu Hong was feeding the small carp in the fish tank on the porch, filling a bowl full of fish food , Qiu Hong fed most of the bowl as soon as she fed it, Yan Gui looked at it and said hurriedly: "Don't feed them anymore, be careful to feed them to death."

Qiu Hong shook her head and said, "Why don't these fish know how hungry they are?"

Yan Gui said, "So they are fish!"

Qiuhong snorted, walked into the room and said: "People in Jia's house are just like fish, they don't know when they are hungry, and if they don't know that the moon is full, they will suffer."

After hearing this, Xue Yan looked at Qiu Hong and wondered: "What does this mean? Why did you suddenly say this? When did you learn it?"

Lan Ling followed up and said: "When the moon is full, you will lose money!" After speaking, she shook her head, looked at Daiyu and asked, "Miss, what does this mean?"

Daiyu looked at Qiuhong and said, "You're showing off even more!"

Qiuhong entered the room with a smile, picked up a fan to fan Daiyu, and said: "Didn't the lady say something while reading a book a few days ago, saying that the moon is full and you lose money, I heard something interesting, so I wrote it down." Mental."

Daiyu smiled at Qiuhong and said, "You have a good memory!"

Qiuhong said: "It's not that I have a good memory, it's that the young lady studies all day long, and we're listening as if we were in a school."

Xueyan laughed when she heard this, pointed to Qiuhong and said, "Then you are going to be handed over to practice!"

Lan Ling pointed to Qiu Hong and said, "After listening to so many lectures, I still have to hand them in."

Seeing her, Qiuhong said with a smile, "If you want to hand it in, hand it in together. Yangui is the biggest, let her hand it in first."

Yan Gui said beside him: "You guys are making trouble with you, what are you doing dragging me into it!"

Seeing that Daiyu looked good and her face softened, Qiuhong asked, "I don't know what's going on for Miss?"

Xueyan secretly looked at Daiyu, just now Daiyu went to the front to receive the order, and she followed Xueyan alone, so the others did not know about Daiyu's alleged marriage.

Daiyu stopped writing, looked at the crowd and said: "Everything is ready, we probably won't be able to stay here for long."

When everyone heard this, their expressions were different. Seeing that they were thinking about it, Xue Yan hurriedly said: "The emperor has proposed marriage to the young lady, and it is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

As soon as Xue Yan finished speaking, Yan Gui took the lead and said to Dai Yu: "Miss is overjoyed."

In a short time, the news of Daiyu's gift of marriage spread throughout the South Courtyard, and Wang Momo and others were all happy, but unlike the servants of Jia's mansion, although they all looked happy, they still did what they should do, not because This is causing trouble.

However, it is said that Lin Butler bought a three-entry courtyard at the request of Daiyu these days. Although it is a bit remote, the house is good, and it has been abandoned for several years. Lin Butler took Zhao Liu and others to clean it up. Jiangnan flavor.

Zhao Liu went back to Jia's house to live at night, and often came here to pack things during the day, Daiyu asked Zhao Liu to live there with Wang Momo, after all, Lin Butler was old, and the two of them could take care of each other.

Daiyu thought, buying this house is not for other things, but just thinking that there will be a place to rest in case something happens.

After two days, Daiyu changed her clothes and sat in the carriage to see the house. Housekeeper Lin did a good job. Although the three yards looked small, they were all equipped with utensils. Housekeeper Lin Pointing to the two rooms in the back, he said, "Miss, these two rooms are bright and spacious, and they were specially cleaned up, miss."

Butler Lin originally thought that the young lady could live here in the future if she borrowed someone else's fence, so she tidied up the place and replaced it with flower branches and wooden furniture. Said that his eldest daughter was given a marriage by the emperor, and she was going to marry Wen Renlin, the fifth son of the current emperor.

Daiyu saw that the furniture in this room was all new, and that the room opposite had many empty bookshelves and small bonsai, she said: "The housekeeper is interested, you have come here from Yangzhou with me, it is really hard work , I will give everyone a tael of silver."

Zhao Liu listened from behind, and hurriedly said: "Miss, don't spoil them, these boys have become more and more dishonest since they came to the capital."

Daiyu asked, "How?"

Butler Lin gave Zhao Liu a wink, telling him not to say anything, but Zhao Liu pretended not to see it, and said to himself: "These guys don't learn well, and they learned to steal and play tricks with the servants of Jia's mansion. I told him harshly a few days ago. , I'm just a little more honest now."

Daiyu smiled when she heard this, and said, "I still have to give them the money, but don't forgive them if they make a mistake." Daiyu looked at the place and said, "Wait a few days, and if you have a chance I will let them leave Jia's mansion and live here."

Zhao Liu was happy and said: "Miss is saying that those servants in Jia's mansion are all sharp-tongued, restless and kind, bullying others, and none of them are good. I feel tired and flustered even if I talk to them."

When Steward Lin heard this, he slammed Zhao Liu on the head and said, "Don't tell me, you keep talking more and more vigorously, and you won't be afraid of dirtying Missy's ears if you say this in front of Missy."

Daiyu knew that Steward Lin was doing it for her own benefit, and she didn't want to hear about it herself. Daiyu thought it wouldn't be a bad thing if she heard it.
