The Red Chamber Collection

The father-in-law's shout spread so far that Miss Gege, dignitaries, girls and servants walking in the garden came here in a hurry.Seeing Taohua and a group of cooks come and kneel down, Yanzi said with a smile: "Do you want the emperor to eat the burnt dishes? Hurry up and cook your dishes, there is no need to be polite. The emperor and the queen will not blame you. If the emperor goes over , it's not too late for you to salute!"

Taohuafang led everyone in the kitchen to retreat!

In the garden, under the front door, in the yard, there were people kneeling all over the ground, keeping their voices silent.Not a moment later, four more father-in-laws came over to check everyone's appearance.After a while, I saw two teams of father-in-laws and two teams of guards coming around two big sedan chairs, and they rang the gong to clear the way.

"The emperor and empress are here!"

Everyone bowed their heads, not daring to look forward.A group of maids and maids came to wait for the master to get off the sedan chair.A father-in-law led the emperor to the gate.

"Long live my emperor! Good luck to the queen!" Swallow led all the officials and princes to greet him.

The queen looked up at the big gilt characters, Linfu Garden!Smiling to the emperor, he said: "It is very rare to see the emperor's calligraphy being distributed among the people. Today, seeing these four characters, they are vigorous and powerful, and they are indeed brilliant! If you dare to love the emperor, if you are free someday, you can also give calligraphy to the uncle's mansion, how about it?!"

The emperor laughed loudly: "What's so difficult about this, I didn't hear you asking for my calligraphy. I think the calligraphy is ugly, and the queen doesn't like it! If the queen asks for calligraphy, it's not as good as in the Lin family, and I can write it now!"

"The emperor is very happy, it's just the joy that the emperor's beloved sister has completed the garden today! When I return to the palace in the future, I will thank the emperor again!"

"Queen, don't tease the emperor, the swallow's pot head is sore!"

"Oh, it's Sister Yanzi, get up quickly! I really have no eyes! I didn't even see my sister here!" The queen hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yanzi who was kneeling in front of her.

The emperor knelt down thinking about these people for a while.There is also the old minister, who blamed himself for his negligence, and hurriedly said: "Everyone is flat! My dear ministers, today I want to have a good drink with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Seeing that the Emperor was so upbeat, everyone smiled and stood up.The sixth prince led the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please come inside!"

The emperor followed the six princes, accompanied by the officials of the princes.go inside.

"Your majesty. The officials thought that the emperor and the empress would arrive in two days. I didn't want to arrive today. I wanted to go to the pier to meet the emperor. But my father-in-law said that it would be a long way to welcome the emperor and the empress. Forgive me!" Governor Liang Jiang followed behind the emperor.

"My lord governor, you are also so old. How can I have the heart to make you work so hard?! Let them go, this is something different!"

"The lower official is grateful to the emperor and empress for showing compassion to the veteran!"

"Wait a while. I want to have a good drink with you! Liangjiang border, you are well-governed, and I don't let me worry too much. If all places can be like adults, it will be great!"

The emperor and empress are seated.Looking at the people standing below, the emperor said: "All my lovers, sit down! Swallow, take the queen to the garden first!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you take everyone on a tour together. It was so lively just now!"

"En!" The emperor nodded.Turning to ask Yanzi, "I've been to Lin's mansion today, why didn't you show up?"

"I really don't know, I have to ask Zijuan about this. Yesterday Zijuan also said that Mao'er is going to show up today. I don't know why, but I haven't come yet!"

?

After more than 20 days, the emperor sailed to Suzhou.And planned for a long time.At that time, the plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River was discussed with the Queen Mother.The queen mother didn't say anything, but she doubted the motive of the emperor's trip in her heart!

The queen mother and the queen said in private: "The emperor is going to Jiangnan, do you know about this?"

"I've heard that too!" The queen said, "This time when I go to the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor will inspect the river, inspect the salt transportation in the south of the Yangtze River, and investigate the problems of people's livelihood!"

The Empress Dowager gave an oh, and said to the Empress: "Why don't you go out for a while when the Emperor is going to and from the south of the Yangtze River. You are always in the palace, it's boring!"

"Queen, are you going?"

"I also wanted to go out for a walk. I'm old and I can't walk anymore. When I was young, I also went to Jiangnan with the old emperor. It was really unforgettable in my life! That time, the old emperor was in a great mood. All the princes, specially brought the current emperor, who was only a few years old at that time. The old emperor asked me to go with him. There were huge crowds of people on both sides of the river! The sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, it was lively for more than half a month! You this time Let's go to the fun too!"

"I don't want to go, I want to serve Lafayette you!"

"There are so many concubines, I don't miss you! You are not in good health, go out for a walk! You can't stay at home all the time. Listen to me, go out and look around, you can't lose. When you come back, put Tell me about the local conditions and customs there! Tell me about any old and strange stories!"

"If the Empress Dowager wants to hear a story, she must go to Princess Swallow!"

"I'm tired of hearing her stories. Now when she opens her mouth and shuts her mouth, it's just that hairy girl! This hairy girl, you should pay more attention when you go back! I think you understand what I mean!" The queen mother said, standing up .The queen hurriedly sent the queen mother to the palace to rest.just came back.

The queen carefully pondered what the queen mother said, what does it mean? !Are you afraid of the emperor and the hairpin?

The queen thought, this is nothing!Since the hairpin doesn't want to enter the palace, what's wrong with the emperor going to the south of the Yangtze River to visit the hairpin'er? !The emperor never forgets the frowner.

Since the queen mother let go, let's go.

The queen told the emperor what the empress dowager wanted, and thought that the emperor would object, but unexpectedly the emperor agreed: "You should really go out and enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River! I asked the imperial dining room to cook the delicacies of Suzhou, but I can't make that taste! When I move my chopsticks, I think of the cook at Xie Er's place, called Taohua mother and daughter! The little fish pot stickers, but they make a different taste. Xie Er always asks them to change tricks to give them I do it! Hook out all the roundworms in my stomach! Empress, come with me, let you eat it once, and you will remember it forever!"

"Look at what the emperor said, is it so evil? It's just that the emperor is used to the exquisite food in the palace, and the simple tea and light food will taste delicious. Besides?" The queen looked at the emperor with a smile, and did not continue.

"I know what the queen wants to say, forget it, don't guess randomly! I really want to, but the pick of the shaved head. It's hot!"

"The emperor said so, who knows!"

The emperor rubbed the queen's shoulders, and smiled: "Queen, you won't be jealous, right?!"

The queen joked with the emperor: "I want to be jealous, but is it useful?! Isn't the emperor thinking about that concubine who looks like a hairpin?!"

The emperor smiled awkwardly and didn't answer!

The queen thought, go back now.Really have to take a good look.As for what the queen mother explained.I have already thought about it.Just say everything is fine.The emperor and Yan'er are not together.

The emperor inquired about the date of the completion ceremony of the Lin Mansion.He wanted to surprise Daiyu.After calculating the time, I chose an auspicious day.let's go.All the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty came to see him off!The emperor drank the farewell wine and led the queen onto the big boat!

Because of the arrival of the emperor, everywhere.Start to clean up the households on both sides of the river.And according to the plan, where did the emperor disembark.The procurement of supplies and daily necessities has been carefully arranged in various places.

The emperor calculated the date of the trip, and did not want to arrive in Suzhou early.He wanted to leave this honor to Daiyu.Stay at the ceremony at Lin Fu Garden!So this journey, the emperor did not stop.Wherever the excitement goes, at night.If you stop the ship to rest, or call the opera troupe to sing.Or just get off the boat and eat flower wine!Staying on the shore is also a common thing!

The queen knew his habit, so she didn't try to persuade him, and it was useless to persuade him.When he got on the boat, he joked with him in private: "I thought you wanted to commemorate this place and never come back!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Where is it, I just go up and listen to it. Is there any good news. If you don't think about it, drink too much!"

The emperor's excuse is always drinking too much.The queen said: "Next time, you should be a little creative, don't lie so monotonously all the time. You can be regarded as a sage who has read poetry and books! You should also apply your knowledge and make up a good story, which can also make us happy! "

Embarrassed on the emperor's face: "Queen, I don't want you to curse like this!"

The two joking once, the emperor can always be safe for a few days, stay with the queen, and stop messing around!

This morning, the ship arrived in Suzhou.The emperor asked his father-in-law to deliver the decree early on, so there is no need for many officials to wait at the pier, just a few sedan chairs and horses.The prefect of Suzhou still prepared two big capes.

?

But he said that the emperor was about to ask why Daiyu hadn't appeared yet.I saw a commotion not far away, and the princesses gathered together.Swallow stood on the chair and didn't see what was going on.

"Don't be a frowner!" The Sixth Prince stood up and looked over there.

Zicuckoo led a group of people, came over, the crowd dispersed a road, and Daiyu walked out of it.I saw red clouds all over my face, and I was slightly fatter than before!Daiyu knelt down: "Hi'er pays respects to the empress and empress! Due to the delay on the road, she did not meet the empress and empress far away, which is disrespectful. I will let the empress and empress punish me!"

"Quickly flatten your body!" The emperor hurriedly said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but the hair is brighter than before!"

"Come on, Yan'er, you finally showed up! The emperor and I came to your house, and you didn't greet me, but let the emperor and this palace wait for you! What's the reason? What's the point? Take me and the emperor, and talk about you every day. Give me one by one! Otherwise, you will be fined three times!" The queen smiled and waved to Daiyu.The palace maid hurried down and helped Daiyu sit up with Yanzi.

"Empress, if you want to tell me where you have been for so many days, it will be a long story! I am afraid that you will delay the Queen's pleasure in the garden. Just one word, and you have gone to honor your ancestors! Your Majesty, you lead all the officials Along the way, the empress and I will take Miss Gege and his wife together, let's visit the garden first, and then have dinner, how about it?!"

"You are the master, just follow your arrangement!" the emperor said.

Daiyu summoned Zijuan and said, "Send someone to the inner courtyard and ask Qing'er to bring the child over for a celebration!"

Zijuan looked at Daiyu and had all sorts of things to say. Daiyu patted Zijuan on the back and said, "Don't say anything. Come here in the middle of the night and I'll tell you!"

Zijuan nodded, and sent someone to look for Qing'er, but Zijuan didn't see him either.If it weren't for being so busy, Zijuan would have wanted to see what Daiyu's child looked like right away? !

The emperor led all the civil and military officials to the central island to see his masterpiece.I saw several large courtyards and more than 50 houses.One of them, the most eye-catching, is inscribed with "Yangxinzhai".The word was mentioned by Daiyu!The emperor smiled and said, "This yard is good!"

When I went upstairs, I was lingered by the aroma before I went in!The emperor went in with all the people, only to see the rare copies of ancient books with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, filling the entire living room.The room was decorated with various decorations, the emperor and the sixth prince said: "It's such a good place, I'll stay tonight!"

The sixth prince smiled and said: "The place is not bad, I heard that this is the residence of the hairpin!"

"Huh?!" The emperor laughed and said, "I'll tell the hairpin when I go back, let her change it! Or let me stay here for a night, it's not a waste of time!"

"Why don't your majesty take a look at the courtyard over there again, I heard that it was specially prepared for the majesty!" the sixth prince said.

"If you don't want to look at it, I will live in this room!" The emperor was so playful that everyone laughed.

"The emperor wants to live in me, so I can't wait for it! The bed where the dragon body sleeps is full of fairy spirit! I beg the emperor to live in my room, I'm afraid the emperor won't go!"

"Master Hao, your old man's smell is very strong, the emperor wants to live in your house, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night!" The sixth prince laughed.

"Your majesty, look, even the sixth prince despises the old man. I wanted to invite the sixth prince and the emperor to stay at my mansion for a few days. Forget it, I won't invite the old man. Today, the old man will also rely on the emperor's side. Immortal Qi!"

"If you also want to live in, just do it quietly. That frown is extremely delicate, how can you bear your old smell?! If the swallow finds out that you occupy her sister's house, you will definitely pull out your beard Swallow dared to enter the palace to question Zhen Xingshi for the sake of Yan'er! Let alone you?!"

"Who is speaking ill of me behind my back!"

When everyone turned their heads, they saw Empress Daiyu Yanzi walking over, Yanzi raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes.The queen smiled and said, "It's not someone else this time, but your brother the emperor!"

"Xiao'er, I told you a long time ago that you should not arrange it early, you must believe it! Look, the emperor is beating your house, isn't he?!"

"Forget it, let the emperor stay here for a few days! If it's not for the queen's face, I will definitely not obey!" Daiyu laughed.

When the officials saw Yanzi, their joy was much less, and their fawning faces were revealed.One by one echoed Daiyu.It is said that Daiyu speaks humorously and interestingly.

When everyone was talking, they saw Zicuckoo leading a young woman with a child.Daiyu took the child and said with a smile: "Come on, I have met the empress and empress, please greet the empress and empress!"

"Whose family is this?" The emperor looked at the child in Daiyu's arms!

"Mine!" Daiyu laughed!

The audience was completely silent, even the air froze, and everyone could hear their breathing!

Zijuan stared blankly at Daiyu, unable to say a word.Miss is too courageous!

Swallow looked at the emperor, at the sixth prince, and at all the officials, all of them were stunned.Suddenly he laughed loudly: "This hairpin, you can't joke like that! Your Majesty, I didn't expect that! Now that hairpin has grown up, let alone the little girl I met back then!"

Daiyu also laughed and said: "He is really my son, and I just met him not long ago! Come, Qing'er, hold the child!"

"You mean this child belongs to this Qing'er?" The queen smiled and came over to hug her.Looking at the child, then at Daiyu, he said, "Look at those eyes, I really want to frown!"

"Yes, empress!" Qing'er knelt down: "Qing'er pays respects to the emperor and empress!"

"Qing'er is flat!" The emperor said with a smile: "Xiao'er, your skin is getting thicker, I'm startled!"

The smiles on everyone's faces immediately returned! L
