Daiyu of Red Mansions Rebirth

Recently, the Lin family has been in a busy situation. Daiyu's 15th birthday is a big birthday, and everyone is thinking about it.The Empress Dowager sent someone to give things a few days ago, and the emperor also rewarded a pair of wishful thinking, a pot of jade potted plants, and several books, calligraphy and paintings.

Liu Yixuan is already 19 years old, and he is still single, outsiders are all surprised and admired when they mention it.Some kind-hearted people are afraid to spread some rumors secretly, saying that Liu Yixuan is handsome and has a good background, and I don't know how many people are secretly thinking about it, but he doesn't get close at all, which shows that he doesn't like women.Otherwise, even if they got married, many ladies would be willing to be concubines, but he didn't even want any of them, not even a housemate. The handsome boy, some people think that he likes men.

It's not uncommon to have masculinity in the families of wealthy and noble eunuchs, but it's just a fun thing, and it's just a change of tricks occasionally. Outside, they are arguing with men, but at home there are still groups of wives and concubines.People like Liu Yixuan, who are nearly young and weak and have not yet married and taken concubines, are also a special case.

The noble ladies in Beijing are bored every day, so they gather together to gossip about the news and anecdotes in Beijing. Slowly, this rumor quietly spread among these noble ladies.It didn't take long for the matter to pass through to the ears of the fifth princess. She was angry and anxious. Fortunately, Daiyu will soon be 15 years old, and she just wanted to get the two children married as soon as possible, so as to avoid outsiders talking about it root.She told Jia Min what she thought, but Jia Min was reluctant to marry off her daughter so early and came back to discuss with Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai's attitude is even more obvious, if he wants to marry his precious daughter, wait another two years!

On the day of Daiyu's birthday on the twelfth day of the second month, the Lin residence was very lively, many guests came. Although the Queen Mother did not arrive, she gave Daiyu a pair of exquisite hairpins to save her face.The luxury of that pair of hairpin rings is second to none, the key is exquisite craftsmanship, a multicolored orb shines brightly in the sun, and everyone stares at it, and they all sigh for Daiyu's good luck; winning the Queen Mother's favor not only keeps rewarding, You can also marry a well-known golden turtle son-in-law in Beijing and China.

They didn't know the reason, so they took it for granted that Daiyu married into the palace because of the empress dowager's favor, but they didn't know that she was a betrothed since childhood.

Rumors stop at the wise, everyone listened to the rumors about Liu Yixuan as entertainment, few really believed it, even though Liu Yixuan was engaged, the officials and wives who tried to give him a red line in the past few years never stopped.They thought that although the candidates for the crown prince and concubine had been decided, Liu Yixuan would inherit the prince in the future, and one or two side concubines were also necessary. The daughters in their family were all young ladies from extraordinary backgrounds, although being a concubine personally was low It's a little bit, but it will be different if you go to the palace, at least you will be a side concubine in the future, and it doesn't mean that you have insulted your family's lintel.

Besides, it is also very common for ordinary people to give their children two concubines before marrying their wives, let alone the palace?Besides, the girl from the Lin family is quite a few years younger than the Shizi. Does the Shizi have to wait for her all these years?When Liu Yixuan really waited for these few years, they couldn't help being dumbfounded again.

……

Under the attention of the guests, Daiyu performed the Jiji ceremony and took the characters, and the ceremony was over.

In the evening, when Cuizhu was combing Daiyu's hair, Daiyu complained, urging Cuizhu to quickly remove the hairpin ring from her head, and said, "So many heavy things of gold and silver, the weight is so heavy that my neck can hardly straighten. When I got up, I really don’t know how those wives and grandmas wear it, I can’t bear it.”

Cuizhu combed slowly with a comb in one hand, and gently massaged Daiyu's scalp with the other hand, and said with a smile: "Today is a girl's birthday, and it's a gift for a 15-year-old girl. It's like getting married once in a lifetime. , naturally you have to dress more luxuriously. It’s not that you wear it every day, and you’re still complaining just now, I’ve heard that the Fengguanxiapei when you get married is several times heavier than this, what will happen to the girl then?”

Lin Daiyu heard her talking about getting married, and about Fengguan Xiapei, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she said: "Cuizhu, you have the guts to make up me! If you keep talking like this, I'll find a boy to match you first. !” After the attack, her face was still hot, and her burning heart was beating wildly.

Cuizhu also blushed when Daiyu said a word, she lowered her head, and muttered: "I don't want to say anything, why should the girl bring this up, it's embarrassing for the person who said it."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Yo, are you still ashamed? I thought you would always be careless."

Daiyu didn't talk about it until Cuizhu knelt down on the ground with a "puff" just after she said this. "What are you doing, get up!" She stretched out her hand to pull the green bamboo, but she was sitting in front of the dowry, her strength was not much, and the green bamboo is strong, she didn't want to get up, so she had the potential to die. Yu couldn't move for a while.Daiyu winked at Xueyan who was standing beside her, beckoning her to help.Xueyan understood, so she passed her hands under Cuizhu's armpit, trying to hug her up, but it didn't work, she tried for a long time without moving, and kept muttering, "Sister Cuizhu, where did you come from?" So much strength?"

Cuizhu ignored Xueyan, but said to Daiyu: "I have one thing to ask you to do."

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Cuizhu said: "I have no father or mother since I was a child. I was sold by my uncle to the mansion as a slave. From that moment on, I don't even have an uncle. The girl and wife have treated me as much as a mountain, and I have nothing to repay. I only serve the girl for the rest of my life, please don't say anything to be worthy of a boy in the future, I swear not to marry today, and I will serve the girl for the rest of my life!"

Daiyu said: "What are you talking about? How can a girl not marry? Now you think it's nothing, it's because you are still young, and you don't realize the benefits of marriage. When you are old, others will have children around your knees." , wouldn’t it be pitiful to leave you alone? Cui Zhu, get up first, this is a very important matter, and you must not make a wrong decision on the spur of the moment.”

Cui Zhu said: "I'm not a momentary mood, I'm deliberate, I've been thinking about this for several years. The girl may not know that although I come from a rural family, my family is really rich when my grandfather is around. Grandpa I was only four years old when I died. My father was incompetent and addicted to gambling, so he yelled at my mother and me every day. He hated my mother for not giving him a son and called me a loser. Once my mother was very ill and didn’t get up to make breakfast. My father came back drunk I was so angry that I took an ax and split my mother's head with blood. He wanted to hit me again. Fortunately, I escaped by running fast. My mother didn't survive that time..."

Speaking of this green bamboo, she couldn't help but her face was full of tears. She took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and continued: "Since then, although I don't hate men very much, I also feel cold towards men. Therefore, I would rather be alone all my life than marry I lived with a strange man for the rest of my life. Later, when my father was sent for murder, I took out all the money in the family and bought the most expensive wine to celebrate. I sprinkled them on my mother’s graveyard, and the tombstone was soaked in wine. Mother I have never drank good wine in my life. I want her to drink enough. My uncle said I was unknown, so he sold me to Ren Yazi. I was only five years old that year. Although I was young, I remembered everything that should be remembered. These years in the Lin Mansion are the best times in my life, my wife and girls have treated me very well."

Daiyu couldn't help crying, and everyone present was crying, especially the girls, they couldn't help but think of their own stories after hearing Cuizhu's story, and couldn't stop crying.Daiyu's heart was also sour, she said to Cuizhu: "Although I still think your current thoughts are too impulsive and simple, but I promise you, I will not force you to marry unless you want to, I'll also help you with my wife, don't feel any pressure."

Cui Zhu hurriedly bumped her head on the ground, and said in her mouth, "Thank you, miss."

Holding the veil in her hand, Daiyu gently wiped her eye sockets with two fingertips, pulled the green bamboo up, and said earnestly: "I only knew that you were bought from the urine before, but I didn't know you And this tragic experience. Hey, having said that, one must always look forward. I hope you can let go of the past slowly. You can’t just be bitten by a snake for ten years and be afraid of well ropes. Then what is there to live for? significance?"

Cuizhu nodded lightly, "Thank you for your suggestion, Miss."

Daiyu then asked the other girls how they came to this mansion, and only then did she know that except for the daughter born at home, every girl had a tragic experience.Some of them were abducted and trafficked by human traffickers, some of them were sold at home in a famine, some sold their younger sisters to marry their elder brothers, and some were sold to repay gambling houses... Anyway, they can be sold when they are short of money. Sadness for girls.Most of those who were sold were the eldest daughters of their families, who were born in poor families. They have shouldered the burden of the family since they were young, helping their parents to take care of their younger siblings, collecting firewood, and doing farm work. In times of famine, they would bear the brunt of selling their sons and daughters. .

A girl said: "We are still good. Some people are greedy for more money and their daughters are sold into brothels. Although they can sell for double the money, that person's life will be ruined."

"There are such heartless parents?" Daiyu seemed very angry.

"What's the matter, man, what can't be done when you are driven to a dead end?" A girl sneered.

Daiyu was silent for a while, and secretly decided to go back and find out how many people in the mansion were poor, and take care of them as much as they can in the future.

That night, Daiyu fell asleep full of worries, and was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother early the next morning, accompanied by Jia Min, Daiyu had already faintly sensed something.Sure enough, after lunch, the Empress Dowager talked about Daiyu and Liu Yixuan's marriage, she was afraid that Daiyu would be embarrassed here, so she specially sent Gong'e to take her to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.

Jia Min said: "What the queen mother said is true, but Yu'er is too young, she is still a child, I am afraid that she will not understand anything when she enters the palace, so I plan to let her learn the skills of leaving home for two more years at home, so as to save herself from getting married. It’s a shame to not handle the family affairs well afterwards.”

Jia Min said it very modestly, but the Queen Mother understood that she intended to keep her daughter for two more years. She also saw Daiyu from a young age, so why don't you know that she has been helping Jia Min with housekeeping since she was six or seven years old, and her talents are not inferior to Jia Min's? , How can you say that you can't handle housework well?But even though she knew it in her heart, she couldn't find it hard to point it out. Daiyu was such a good girl, she was about to marry off suddenly, and she wouldn't let anyone leave this matter behind!If it is her own granddaughter, at least she has to stay until she is seventeen or eighteen years old.But the situation is not like that now, Daiyu is her future grandson and daughter-in-law, so she can't wait to get married as soon as possible.

Marriage is no more than any other matter. Both parties must be willing to accomplish it. Power will not play a role here. If you insist on using power to achieve it quickly, it will eventually leave hidden dangers.Lin Ruhai and his wife felt uncomfortable, and Daiyu couldn't feel better, so how could her precious grandson feel better?

Therefore, the Queen Mother didn't say anything, but just euphemistically asked Jia Min to go back and discuss with Lin Ruhai, and set a date as soon as possible.

The queen mother spoke, so Jia Min had to talk to Lin Ruhai when he went back.

Lin Ruhai didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so anxious.He is a courtier of the royal family, and the queen mother is the mother of the emperor. What else can he say when the queen mother speaks? If the queen mother speaks, the emperor still listens. What is he?

So Lin Ruhai discussed with the fifth prince, and together they found someone to check the date, and selected an auspicious day in September as the wedding date.

The wedding date is fixed, and both families are busy.

The Prince Ying's Mansion is naturally busy renovating the yard where Daiyu and Liu Yixuan lived after they got married. They refurbished it drastically. Both the prince and the concubine and Liu Yixuan knew that Daiyu liked to grow flowers and trees, so they bought a lot of flowers, plants and precious trees to decorate the yard. Wonderland in general.Lin Ruhai was busy preparing her daughter's dowry. Lin Daiyu's presents from childhood to adulthood, things in her own small warehouse needless to say, Lin Ruhai's collection, Jia Min's ladder, farm, shop, gold and silver, utensils, jewelry, Books and more.Shengyu also generously took out the things in her storeroom, and used them as a dowry for Daiyu.

Daiyu declined and said no, Shengyu refused to agree, and even joked that the huge family property would be his in the future, and what was given to her sister was just a drop in the bucket, making Daiyu dumbfounded.
