Daiyu of Red Mansions Rebirth

"looking at what?"

Daiyu was sitting on the corridor, with her chin in one hand and a volume of books in the other.Suddenly a thick voice came from behind, and I felt that my hand was empty and the book had been taken away.She turned her head suddenly, and saw Lin Ruhai flipping through the book with a smile, muttering: "Medical classics..." Daiyu smiled "hee", stood up and asked, "Daddy, when did you come, you don't need to accompany the guests? "

Since the news of Lin Ruhai's appointment as Minister of the Household Department came, the Lin Mansion has had many visitors.In addition to old friends from the past, there were also many unknown officials who sent posts asking for an interview all at once, and it was really a mess.There were both male and female guests, and Daiyu followed Jia Min to receive some female relatives.Later, Jia Min didn't let her go because he was afraid of tiring her.

Lin Ruhai gave a "hmm" and said, "I've been standing here for a while, why are you so dazed?"

"Daddy, I'm not a kid anymore!"

Lin Ruhai laughed when he heard the words, "What are you talking about, aren't you only six years old this year?"

Lin Daiyu was anxious, stomping her feet and said: "Daddy, you know, I didn't mean that, I..."

Lin Ruhai knew that he couldn't play anymore, so he sat down Daiyu, but couldn't help laughing a few times, handed the medical book to Daiyu, and said, "Yu'er, don't just say that you are not a child in the future. In front of you, no matter how old you are, you are still a child. Don’t think about the past, now that you have a father, a mother, and a younger brother, we will protect you and will not let you be wronged. "

"Hmm..." Daiyu nodded seriously, "I know."

"Oh, that's right!" Lin Ruhai seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and slapped his forehead suddenly, "When I went to the palace today, the emperor said that the queen mother was very interested when she heard about you from the fifth princess, and wanted to meet you. It should be in these few days, there must be a summons, and my father told you to let you be mentally prepared." The queen mother knew that the fifth prince had arranged a marriage for her grandson Liu Yixuan, and she wanted to see what the girl looked like a long time ago. Yu Daiyu has not been in Beijing these years, and it has been delayed until now.No, once he heard that Lin Ruhai had brought his wife and children to Beijing, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Lin Ruhai understood the key point, but it was difficult to explain it to Daiyu for a while.

"Queen?" Lin Daiyu was obviously surprised, her eyes widened, and she looked in disbelief.Secretly said: I must not have heard it wrong!She grew up so big, but she has nothing to do with the royal family.The person who has the closest relationship with the royal family in the previous life is none other than the imperial concubine's cousin Jia Yuanchun.To be summoned by the queen mother in this life is really a bit...unbelievable...

Lin Ruhai nodded, confirming Daiyu's question.

"Why is the queen mother suddenly wanting to see me?" Lin Daiyu lowered her head in thought, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, she didn't know if she wanted someone to answer her or she was just talking to herself.Lin Ruhai looked up at the sky 45 degrees, saying that he didn't hear it at all.But Daiyu didn't seem to let him go easily, and she tugged on Lin Ruhai's sleeve without getting a response, "Daddy, tell me, how does the Queen Mother know about me?"

"Uh, this..." A certain father faltered, typically guilty of doing something.In vain, he is a dignified second-rank Dayuan, who can talk freely in the court, but today he is so dumb in front of a little girl, and he feels ashamed when he speaks out.

"Oh, Dad, you have already said it, it was the fifth princess who told the queen mother."

A certain father wiped his sweat, girl, can you finish it all at once?

……

In the next few days, Jia Min personally taught Daiyu court etiquette.After she was free, she originally planned to take Daiyu and Shengyu to visit Jia's mansion, but this happened suddenly, so she had to put the rest aside for now.There are many etiquettes in the palace, what to say and what to do when you see whoever you meet, you must be meticulous in every detail.Daiyu has learned it before, and she is talented and intelligent, so there is nothing wrong with it.Seeing that she was well-mannered and behaved properly, Jia Min nodded secretly.

Soon people came from the palace, and Daiyu got into the sedan chair with green bamboo.

The Empress Dowager is a very kind old man, when Daiyu arrived, there were no other people in the hall, just a few old mothers chatting with her.Daiyu stopped in the hall and knelt down to pay respects.When the queen mother saw it from a distance, she already had a good impression of the child, and thought the child was good, so she hurriedly told people, "Hurry up and call Daiyu, come here, come to Ai's house!"

Daiyu was a little surprised by this overly enthusiastic greeting, and was momentarily stunned.Cuizhu didn't listen, so that Daiyu didn't notice it with winks, so anxious Cuizhu tugged at her sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, Miss, the Empress Dowager is calling you."

Daiyu came back to her senses, smiled embarrassedly, and stepped up the steps step by step.

Fang stood still, and the queen mother grabbed Daiyu's hand and asked her how old she was, when she was born, what books she usually read, what female celebrities she studied, and what she did at home.Daiyu answered them one by one.The Queen Mother saw that her enunciation was clear, well-organized, gentle and humble.When replying, he was neither humble nor overbearing, unlike some women, who would show a flattering face when they saw a nobleman, which is really unlikable.Then he exchanged glances with the nanny beside him, nodded with a smile, and praised, "Not bad, not bad, Mrs. Lin is a good teacher, a good teacher!"

"Thank you Queen Mother for your praise!" Daiyu bowed her head.

Although the queen mother is over sixty years old, she is still in good health.When I saw Daiyu today, when I was happy, I became interested in playing.Outside the Changqing Palace where the Empress Dowager lives, there is a small river that runs across the palace. The pavilions and towers on both sides are majestic and majestic, and the lush forests, bamboos, strange flowers and rocks are dizzying.Going down along the river, you can have a panoramic view of half of the palace in just a short time.The queen mother ordered people to prepare a boat, and planned to take Daiyu on a boat tour.

Not long after, the boat was ready and the sunshade curtains were erected, and the Empress Dowager took Daiyu onto the boat.

Daiyu didn't feel anything, but Cuizhu was very excited.She never dreamed that one day she would be able to enter the imperial palace. Looking up, she saw that the pavilions and pavilions were magnificent and magnificent, and the trees on both sides were much more lush than outside. It was summer, but there were many along the way. The lush blossoms are only beautiful flowers that cannot be named.Fortunately, as Daiyu's maidservant, she has not seen the world at all, although she is excited in her heart, her face is quite calm.

After sitting on the boat for a while, the Empress Dowager became a little tired, so she pointed to one person and said to Daiyu: "She is Mother Qin, Ai's family will go back to have a rest, you can play with Mother Qin and the others for a while, and I will have dinner with you." Have someone come and call you."

Daiyu nodded, sent the queen mother down and boarded the boat again.

At that time, the news that the Empress Dowager summoned the girl from the Lin family and personally took it for fun has spread in the palace, and many palace people came to see it.Although they just passed by with an excuse and didn't dare to show it blatantly, the sizing eyes still made Daiyu very uncomfortable, so she said to Nanny Qin: "Mommy, it's getting late, let's go back."

Nanny Qin also felt that it was better to go back earlier than later, so she ordered to go to the shore and helped Daiyu get off the boat.

Daiyu could clearly feel that many eyes were focused on her, and she could even hear their whispers clearly.Sometimes being too smart is also a kind of trouble.One of them had a very different gaze. How should I put it, it was stronger, and seemed suspicious, and she could vaguely hear her murmuring to herself: "Really... the cousin of the Lin family?"

No need to look, Daiyu has already guessed the owner of that gaze: the eldest daughter of the second aunt, Jia Baoyu's direct sister, cousin Yuanchun who was selected into the palace as a female historian a few years ago because of her filial piety and virtue.The moment he turned around, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, although it was far away, it was enough to see the real person, there was no doubt that it was this person.

Back at Changqing Palace, before entering the palace gate, a maid told Daiyu that Emperor Daiyu was also there.Entering the palace, of course there was no way to avoid paying respects, the emperor stared at Daiyu a few times, and said: "I heard from Ruhai that you like to play chess, is there such a thing?"

Daiyu replied: "Because my father likes it, and I have a little contact with it, I can't get on the stage."

The emperor smiled and twisted his beard and said, "That's not bad." He knew that Lin Ruhai had always treasured this daughter, but seeing her today, he felt that it was quite impressive.After asking a few more words, seeing that her language was clear and eloquent, and that she had read a lot of books and learned a lot of truths at a young age, she also nodded secretly.So he gave Daiyu a newly acquired white jade chessboard, and gave her several authentic works by famous masters.

After lunch, the emperor bid farewell and left.

In the past few years, no girls were born in the palace, and the youngest princess has reached the age to be married, so it is rare for the Empress Dowager to see a girl as young as Daiyu.What's more, she has beautiful features and a natural temperament, which is available to extraordinary people, and the more she looks at her, the more she loves her.Because Daiyu was blown outside, her hair was a bit messy, so the Empress Dowager ordered someone to bring a dressing box, and personally plucked her hair for a facelift.In this regard, Daiyu didn't know what to do for a while, at this moment, the empress dowager seemed to be an ordinary old lady, so she couldn't help letting go of her guard.

The queen mother seemed to feel something, and said slowly: "Don't you feel uncomfortable, when I saw you, I felt like my own granddaughter. I also combed the hair of my granddaughters when they were young, and they are not like you cautious."

"The queen mother is a good grandmother!" Daiyu raised her head and said seriously.

"You can also think of me as a grandmother." The queen mother smiled, and sooner or later she had to be called a grandmother.

Daiyu smiled, even saying that she didn't dare.When she was leaving, the queen mother gave many things, such as pearls, gold beads, bracelets, gold and silver zippers, and a few bolts of brocade material made in-house, which she said were for tailoring clothes for Daiyu.Yunjin is named for its gorgeousness and beauty like clouds. Most of them are tributes for the royal family. It is difficult for ordinary people to get them. Occasionally, some of them are sold outside, and they are quickly robbed. The price is comparable to gold.I am afraid that only the queen mother can be so generous, and she will give several horses.

Afterwards, many concubines came to see what kind of girl the Empress Dowager liked on the pretext of paying their respects.

It is inevitable to have a lot of gifts when we meet each other.

When Lin Daiyu returned home, in addition to the sedan chair she took, she also had a carriage specially designed to pull rewards.Until she met Jia Min and asked about the affairs in the palace, Daiyu still had a very unreal feeling.Why the Queen Mother treats her so well, and the attitudes of many people are a little inexplicable.
