Daiyu of Red Mansions Rebirth

The New Year is approaching, and every household is busy preparing for the New Year. From the princes and nobles in the middle of Beijing to the traffickers and pawns, they are all busy for the annual grand festival, and everywhere is lively and peaceful.

Jia Min's interest this year is extremely high, shopping for New Year's gifts, looking at the list of New Year's goods, checking the accounts, paying attention to everything, and keeping the feet of the servants around him not touching the ground.She herself is also busy, and she has to intervene in every detail.Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood, I'm busy even though I'm busy, but I'm still in good spirits, a full-fledged person who is full of energy on happy occasions.In her words, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu can be said to have stepped on the tip of the sword during the war in the south of the Yangtze River in the past six months. She was worried day and night. Celebrate and drive away all the bad luck of last year.

Lin Ruhai was formally appointed as the Young Fu. Apart from serving the emperor in the palace or teaching the crown prince under the orders of the emperor, Lin Ruhai had nothing else to do. With plenty of time, he could occasionally teach Shengyu to read a few books.

This year of the Lin family was very lively, and the aftertaste still persisted until the fifteenth day.

When the first lunar month came out, the sky became warmer day by day, and within a few days there was a scene of grass growing and warblers flying, and flowers blooming like brocades, and it was Daiyu's birthday.A few days earlier, all kinds of birthday gifts flocked in. Even the emperor and the queen mother gave them something special. Jia's mansion also sent four seasons clothes and one pair of shoes a few days ago.She was born during the Flower Festival on the twelfth day of the second lunar month, which is the time when all things are revived and the vegetation is in full bloom. There are many old customs on this day, such as outings and banquets, planting flowers and trees, picking wild vegetables, and offering sacrifices to gods.

Daiyu plans to plant a tree on her birthday.

Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, and Sheng Yu all thought it was a good idea, and they all wanted to plant a tree, so the family of four planted a tree each in the garden, and agreed to see who would grow the best in the coming year.

Liu Yixuan sent someone to bring a chessboard, a set of ancient books, and several high-quality jade articles to Dai Yuren.Daiyu didn't expect him to give so many things, she felt it was inappropriate, but she couldn't return it, so she had to reward the visitor and ask him to thank him on her behalf.Shengyu happened to come to see Daiyu, and when she saw her, she said, "Sister, these are all top-notch. Some of the few pieces of jade are from Brother Xuan's collection, and some of them were bought by him himself after traveling all over the streets and alleys in the past two months. Baby, it can be seen that he has a heart."

Daiyu glared at him: "You are acting as someone else's lobbyist, and you are plotting against your sister with outsiders?"

Shengyu patted her head, and said with a chuckle: "What did sister say, I don't mean that."

Daiyu said: "I know you have a good relationship with your elder brother Xuan, so you don't have to hide it from me. As soon as he comes back, he will take you hunting? He even taught you how to archery. How many times do you not praise him? Let me see. It won't be long before my sister can't compare to him in your heart."

Shengyu became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, my sister is always the first."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I'm joking, but you're serious?"

"Sister, this joke can't be played casually."

……

Time flies, time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.The small trees planted three years ago have grown majestic and lush. Daiyu often hangs around under the four trees, watering and fertilizing them with her own hands. It also grows faster, it doesn't look like it has only been planted for three years, but it must be ten or eight years old.

In three years, Daiyu has grown into a slim young girl, becoming more and more elegant.

Because of her close contacts with the Queen Mother, the fifth concubine, and Princess Yiyang, she is well-known in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing and China.When it comes to the girl from the Lin family, all the noble ladies in Beijing are full of praise.The news of Daiyu's engagement to the palace has not been made public, so Lin Ruhai has no choice but to politely decline the proposals she often asks for marriage.But as Daiyu got older, the team of begging relatives became bigger and bigger, and it was getting out of hand. Lin Ruhai had to consider finding an appropriate time to announce Daiyu's engagement.Otherwise, it would always be like this, he would be exhausted just dealing with these people, so why talk about official duties?

Now he is the leader of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Shaofu, and the emperor's close minister, and he also has the responsibility of teaching the prince. He has a lot of work, but he doesn't have so much effort to waste here.

Lin Ruhai told Jia Min about his thoughts, and Jia Min also felt very good.

She thought, now that the two children are grown up, especially Liu Yixuan, who is 16 years old, handsome and elegant, talented in both civil and military affairs, is quite trusted by the emperor, and has a deep relationship with the prince, and they are inseparable. It has a bright future.There are many people who miss such a shining golden person.Although she knew that the fifth prince and concubine, including Liu Yixuan, were not superficial people and would not be sorry for her own Yu'er, but when she thought that someone was always thinking about her future son-in-law, and always wanted to give him a favor, she felt uncomfortable.It's better to just talk about it, and get rid of those people's thoughts.

"However... Although the parents ordered the matchmaker to say, but we are not the kind of bossy parents, this matter, it is best to discuss it with Yu'er." She said.

Lin Ruhai said: "If you don't tell me, I will do the same. After all, this matter is related to Yu'er's life, so we must be cautious. Once this matter is made public, it cannot be changed. It doesn't matter to us. The royal family can't afford to lose this." people."

"Then ask Yu'er carefully, think about it carefully." Hearing these words, Jia Min felt a little uneasy.Parents love their children, so they often have a lot of excessive worries. Even though she was very satisfied with Liu Yixuan in the past, when she thinks about making a decision to hand over her daughter to him, she feels a little worried.This is also inevitable, Daiyu will always get married, and no matter who she marries, as a mother who loves her daughter, she cannot be completely at ease.

"I know, you have to trust our daughter's vision." Lin Ruhai said.

He was also worried, but apart from Liu Yixuan, there was really no better choice at the moment.The society is like this, it is unfair to women, a man can have three wives and four concubines, but a woman has to be a husband and a child, and be consistent to the end, and there can be no complaints.He had lived for dozens of years before, and he had long been accustomed to the so-called norms established by convention. He had never had any deviant thoughts, but Daiyu's existence had greatly changed his cognition.Because he loves his daughter, he would put himself in her shoes and consider it, only to suddenly discover that the so-called moral norms set by the sage actually persecuted women almost cruelly.

But there is no way, the world is like this, he has no power to change, all he can do is try his best to evade, try to avoid the persecution his daughter suffers.He is not stupid enough to change this kind of regulations. Before the time comes, it is just a joke for a gnat to shake a big tree.

Liu Yixuan had made a promise to him three years ago, saying that if Daiyu were to be alone, he would have nothing to ask for in this life, and he would cherish her forever, and there would never be concubines, concubines or anything like that.

It was this sentence that made him make up his mind to marry his daughter to him.

He knew Liu Yixuan's character and he knew that he would do what he said, not to mention that he had created a document for himself at that time, and he would give Daiyu the document when she got married.His own daughter knew that Daiyu was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, so she would definitely be able to control Liu Yixuan.

Lin Ruhai told Daiyu about the announcement of the marriage contract, and Daiyu bowed her head for a long time, and said, "But it's up to daddy to make the decision."

This is consent.Lin Ruhai said: "Once the marriage contract is announced, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the aristocratic circles in Beijing. Maybe many noble ladies will come to our house to visit you or say some nonsense. You don't need to pay attention to it. That kid Liu Yixuan is Who do you not know yet?"

Daiyu said, "I know."

As expected, as soon as the news was announced, many ladies and ladies spread some unknown rumors on the grounds of congratulations, most of which implied that Liu Yixuan was not close to women, that he was fond of Long Yang and so on.Of course, what they said was more tactful, and they took a side-stepping approach.

These people were born in deep houses and large courtyards. The inner curtains of rich and noble families are the most mixed. The housewives are fighting openly and secretly with concubines to keep their husbands, and the ladies are also showing off their skills in fighting for favor.

Therefore, they are all very good at the art of speaking. When they say some unpleasant words, especially the bad words of the high-ranking people, they are so euphemistic that you can't understand the meaning at all.But they can't help but dissect and analyze and explain it from all angles over and over again, leaving half of what they say, and they will always lure you to think in that direction, but they didn't say it themselves.In the end, they made you very angry, but they didn't hinder them at all. They achieved their goals without any suspicion of ruining others.

Daiyu was used to these tricks since she was a child, and when she flattered her on the surface, she only felt ridiculed in her heart.

After the visitors had left, Jia Min let out a sigh of relief, sat down and ordered the girl to pour tea, and said to Daiyu: "These people are all jealous, treat them as farting, ignore them!"

Daiyu laughed out loud when she heard "poof", she didn't expect her mother to say such a dirty word suddenly.

Jia Min also laughed, and said: "What are you laughing at? It's not rough, it's the same reason."

Daiyu said: "I laugh at the fact that my mother is a bit cute at the moment."

Jia Min glared at her, and said: "You are a terrible girl, the elders dare to make fun of you, see if I don't tell the master to punish you to copy the scriptures!"

Daiyu smiled and rolled into Jia Min's arms, begging: "Don't dare, don't dare, mother, please forgive me!"

Just as Sheng Yu came in, he saluted Jia Min.Jia Min then asked him: "Your Majesty called you into the palace early in the morning, why?" Shengyu took off her outer coat and handed it to the girl, and ordered her to take off her shoes, then went to the kang and sat down next to her mother. Side said: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you for a while, the Holy Majesty asked me to go over and ask about my homework, and gave me a few books to read, saying that I will be tested in a month."

After hearing this, Jia Min patted Sheng Yu's head and said, "It's rare for the Holy Majesty to show so much care, so don't disappoint the Holy Majesty's kindness."

It can be said that the emperor cared about Shengyu, even more sad than some princes. Back then, he urged the prince to study, which was nothing more than that.She didn't understand the reason, if it was only because of Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai was not the only confidant of the Holy Majesty, why he was so special to Shengyu alone, she couldn't figure it out.Therefore, Jia Min can only attribute it to himself for making Shengyu too lovable, and a handsome and smart child is naturally more likely to be liked by older people.

It's just... Whether this is good or bad, Jia Min dare not say for sure.

Now it seems that it is naturally good, after all, no matter who it is, once it gets involved with the emperor, it will be worth a lot of money.But there is another saying that "accompanying the emperor is like accompanying the tiger", she has to worry...
