The Red Chamber Collection

The next day, the queen mother and the emperor mentioned that they would marry the sixth prince Daiyu.The emperor said: "Will the frowner agree?"

"She doesn't agree, she can't let her go at this moment!" The Empress Dowager said: "I have two children with the sixth son, if she doesn't get married again, who else will she want to wait for?"

The emperor looked at the queen mother in surprise, and wondered: "You have children? Are you sure?"

"Ask the queen about this, she is the best at it. She said that the child belongs to the little six, what could be wrong?!"

The emperor leaned back, sighed, and muttered in his mouth: "It's cheaper, sixth brother!"

"What are you talking about?" the queen mother stared at the emperor.

"Oh. I mean, how did this hairpin have a child with the sixth younger brother? It's really strange. Thinking about that hairline's pride, hey!" The emperor sighed again: "The Queen Mother is in charge of such matters!"

The queen mother knew that the emperor was uncomfortable, and the emperor was jealous.The empress dowager thought, your emperor has no fate with other people, and people don't want to enter the palace, there is no way.

The queen mother went back and asked Daiyu to enter the palace. The queen mother said, "tell me, what should I do about this?"

"The child is mine! His surname must be Lin!"

"Well, the child can be named Lin. But you have to know that the child must have a father."

"The empress dowager's words are too good, this stone should find a father for him no matter what." Yanzi interjected.

"Now I think the Sixth Prince is more suitable." The Queen Mother said.

"I don't want to get married!" Daiyu heard about the Sixth Prince and thought of the child, fearing that the Queen Mother would use a roundabout tactic, and the child would have to take the Sixth Prince's surname.

"I said, you can rest assured. Since the Queen Mother agreed that the child's surname is Lin, what a big compromise is this?! You know it better than anyone else. Since the sixth prince likes you so much, you can find a father for the child. There will be children in the future. You can't mess around anymore, you have to take the sixth prince's surname." The queen smoothed things over with a smile.

Yanzi hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "Hey, it is enough for my sister to have a child named Lin, and my sister's goal has also been achieved. I think the queen mother is too old, and making a matchmaker makes people not look happy. It would be better if the queen came to be the matchmaker!"

The queen mother said: "Hey, Swallow. I have no objection to letting the queen be a matchmaker. You say I am old. What's wrong with me? You can't say that I'm old so there's no celebration! Why don't I have no celebration. Old people are all old-fashioned?!"

"Old lady, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue! Don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else. What I mean is that the queen can run errands faster than you."

"Look at her mouth, I'm a matchmaker, and I've become an errand runner!" The queen smiled and said, "Will you say it? When the words come out of her mouth, the taste will change. The empress dowager is buried. Then I will be buried!"

"Fart, return my palace?!" Yanzi made a face at the queen: "It's just my sister-in-law!"

The queen laughed and didn't care about her.

Daiyu never made a statement.The queen mother said anxiously: "You are such a straightforward person, please give me a pleasant word!"

"I'm not getting married!" Daiyu bit her lip.Crossed the heart.She wants to take precautions.

"Do you dare to disobey the queen mother's will? What conditions do you have, you can ask for it!" The queen said urgently.

"I interpret the queen's words as threats and lures, okay?!" Daiyu tilted her head and looked at the queen.

The queen said with a smile: "Xiao'er. If I don't fight with you, I can't beat you. I will threaten and lure you, so what?! I can't see you being bullied, and there is no man around. There are no outsiders today, I can To be blunt. You don’t like the Sixth Prince, are you afraid that Shitou will be named after the Sixth Prince?! That child belongs to the Sixth Prince! Do you dare to bet? People don’t say dark words, I can use the name of the Queen , guarantee that Shitou will be surnamed Lin for the rest of his life. But you cannot deprive the Sixth Prince of his right to be a father just because of your doubts."

Daiyu was silent, how dare she bet with the queen.The best weapon at this time is silence.What silence can bring her is to think about what to do.

"That's the deal! Empress, you can be a matchmaker and marry this annoying little girl, so that I won't be upset when I see her." The queen mother said.

Daiyu pursed her lips and didn't speak.The queen saw it, and said: "It's useless to be self-willed, this matter is beyond your control! Since the queen mother has decided on this matter, it can no longer be changed."

After returning from the palace, the Sixth Prince was already waiting in the Yanzi Mansion.Seeing Daiyu, the sixth prince hurried over to say hello.Daiyu looked at the sixth prince as if she saw danger, ignored him, and locked herself in the boudoir prepared by Yanzi.Seeing that the sixth prince was dumbfounded, Yanzi pouted at him.The Sixth Prince understood and followed Daiyu in.

Daiyu said: "You are really thick-skinned, what kind of place is this? How dare you come in?"

The sixth prince smiled and said: "Now the queen mother has decreed that I am your husband, so how can you avoid this!"

"Have I agreed?!" Daiyu pouted.

"Xiao'er, listen to me, we are all old and not young, if we continue to fight like this, we will grow old! As long as you agree to us being together, I will do anything for you!"

Daiyu looked at the Sixth Prince and said nothing.The Sixth Prince was waiting there, his eyes full of longing.

Daiyu said: "It's useless for you to promise to me alone, you have to agree in front of the Queen Mother!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of you!" the sixth prince said.

Daiyu thought about it for a while, then she decided to go to see the queen mother together with the sixth prince Yanzi.Coincidentally at that time, the emperor and queen were also here with the queen mother, talking about the two of them.Seeing Daiyu's sixth prince Swallow come in, he hurriedly offered to sit down.

The sixth prince said: "It just so happens that the emperor is here too, Yaner, I swear in front of everyone, as long as you agree to us being together, I will promise you anything!"

Daiyu saw that everyone looked at her reply expectantly.Daiyu said: "This matter is simple. Get married and go to my Lin residence. I will never come to Beijing."

"I promise!" The sixth prince seemed to be afraid of Daiyu's repentance.The queen mother looked at the queen and the emperor, frowning.

Daiyu said again: "Go and be a son-in-law who cuts through the door!"

"I promise!"

"What?" The Empress Dowager stood up, pointed at Daiyu and said, "You are too aggressive!"

"I didn't force him. He can choose not to agree. Let's not be together. There are so many good women in the world. The Queen Mother just chooses another one for him!"

The queen said: "Xiao'er, we know that you have a deep plan, you have captured the heart of the sixth prince!"

"It doesn't matter what they say, Yaner, I've said it and I agree!" The Sixth Prince immediately expressed his opinion.I am afraid that Daiyu will be awkward again.

"Your Majesty, look, what's there to talk about. I'm afraid he will do it every day if Yaner asks him to empty the urinal. Look at his talent! I don't agree!" The Queen Mother said angrily.

The emperor thought, even if I am, I will do it too.But the emperor did not speak.

Daiyu looked indifferent.Seeing that things were at an impasse, Swallow smiled and said: "Hey, you don't know Luo'er, but I know. Luo'er is afraid that the sixth prince will rob her of the stone. I think this is good. This is one. The sixth prince married Lin Mansion, it is not allowed to mention Shitou’s surname anymore, let’s say that there is no proof, but establish evidence as proof. Second, we have to take a step back, how can a prince be a son-in-law, how ugly it is to say it?! This matter. I've made a decision, Shao'er is not allowed to make trouble anymore! If there is another child, it must be named after the Sixth Prince! If you want to say that the head of the family, the money will belong to Shao'er, this matter is settled, there is no room for negotiation."

The Empress Dowager said: "If Yanzi says so, I think it's okay. What's your opinion?"

"How dare you say no, I, as an older sister, want to teach you a lesson!" Yanzi clapped her hands.Looking at Daiyu, he said.

Daiyu said: "But it's all up to my sister to make decisions for me, why are you threatening me again?"

"Okay. Then this matter is settled!" The Queen Mother laughed.

"You!" The queen stood up, walked in front of Daiyu, nodded her head and said, "Everything is up to you! You can act, is this what you and Yanzi arranged?! Let's figure it out ?!"

"How can there be?! The queen will accuse good people!" Daiyu smiled and lowered her head.

"Yo, I didn't expect you to be so shy! To have such an outstanding talent as the Sixth Prince, and to win the most famous Sixth Prince's concubine, to confer many properties in the Prince's Mansion, and to change the child's surname privately, it can be described as multiple gains! You This businessman really made a lot of money!" The Queen raised Daiyu's face with her hands and said.

In front of the emperor and the sixth lord, Daiyu was embarrassed by the words.Opening the queen's hand, she imitated Yanzi's tone of nonsense to cover her face and said: "Queen mother, you don't care about your daughter-in-law, it's nonsense. And you, the emperor's brother, are you embarrassed to laugh?! Look at your daughter-in-law What a mess, if there is no ceremony at that time, I will not obey!"

Everyone laughed.The queen mother was overjoyed, called Daiyu, took out a sapphire ring from the box next to her, and said, "Xiaoer, this is priceless, and now I give it to you! This is a great gift!"

Before Daiyu could thank her, Yanzi said, "Mother, why are you so willing? I got married, but you didn't even give it to me!"

"Is there not enough for you?! I'm old! What beauty do you need?" The queen mother smiled and said, "This is beautiful, and it's just right for a hairy child!"

Swallow came over immediately and put his arms around the Queen Mother's neck. Everyone thought that she wanted to thank the Queen Mother and be intimate with the Queen Mother.Unexpectedly, she untied the Queen Mother's diamond necklace from her neck and said, "Since the Queen Mother doesn't want beauty, give this to me."

"Did I tell you to send you off? You are robbing!" The Queen Mother said in surprise.

"Then the queen mother can't be partial, it should be fair, right?!"

The queen also came to join in the fun and said: "This girl is getting married, why does she want to dig money from her mother's family? What about mine, queen mother?"

Yanzi said: "You are not enough, the queen mother gave you all her sons, what else do you want?"

Everyone laughed.The emperor stood up, waved his hands and laughed, "I can't take it anymore. There is an old saying that three women play a drama, how can you sing it well?"

The queen mother patted Yanzi's buttocks and said: "I'll count you as the worst, take advantage of me if you get the chance, and don't be afraid of your sister-in-law saying it!"

Swallow said: "The folks also say that a girl is a thief when she gets married. I don't steal my mother. Who do you want me to steal?!"

"Look at this thief, she steals with confidence!" The queen shamed Yanzi by pulling her over.

?

The matter about the stone can be considered a satisfactory solution.Daiyu bid farewell to Xiren before returning to Suzhou.

Xi Ren said: "Girl, some people, although I know that speaking out will hurt your heart. But I have held back for a few days, but I still can't hold back."

"do not?"

"Don't what?! I know that the girl is afraid of hearing about Baoyu, and she seems to know about Baoyu's situation." Seeing that Daiyu was about to speak, the attacker hurriedly said, "Don't talk, girl, listen to me. Miss Baochai is dead. do you know?"

Daiyu was stunned for a while.The expression was very complicated, and he murmured to himself: "How did she die?" As he spoke, he remembered the past in the Grand View Garden, remembered starting a poetry club together, and uttering the poems of Peony Pavilion at the banquet, Bao Baochai's heartfelt words reminded her of her illness, so Baochai rushed to fetch medicine for her.Now this piece is still vivid.At that moment, Daiyu burst into tears and cried for a long time.Xiren was also in tears, seeing that Daiyu's condition was slightly better.Then he said again.

"Miss Bao died in childbirth, and the child was not left behind. At that time, Baoyu had left home and went somewhere. Later, he got the news from nowhere and came back. Bury Baochai. A tear was lost in the process. No. He didn’t cry until the moment Baochai’s coffin was buried. No one can persuade him.”

Pausing for a while, Xiren watched Daiyu's reaction.Daiyu cried for a while and said, "What happened to Baoyu later?"

"I heard people say that he went back to his hometown, Jinling, but I don't know the details!" Xi Ren said.

"Oh," Daiyu said.Daiyu thought, after going back.Secretly send someone to check on his whereabouts.In order to conceal her love for Baoyu, Daiyu said to the attacker, "Why did the mandarin duck go too?"

"Who said that?" Xi Ren asked.

"Didn't it mean that she was bumped to death in front of the old lady's coffin?"

"No!" Xi Ren said, "That's how it is. After the old lady left, Yuanyang felt helpless, overwhelmed with grief, and hadn't had water for a few days. He staggered when he walked, and fell down suddenly, knocking his head on the ground. I passed out on the corner of the table. When I woke up, two days had passed. At that time, someone really said that Yuanyang went with the old lady."

"Aren't you married at that time? How do you know such details? Who told you?"

"It was Yuanyang who told me. After the old lady left, Yuanyang's parents passed away one after another. Yuanyang hated her sister-in-law and refused to go to her brother's house. She had no choice but to go home! I went to the Caotang nunnery to fulfill my wish, and only then did I see Yuanyang. Ordained there!"

"Oh, how far is it from here, I really want to see her!"

"A few miles, it's not too far. It's only a moment by car."

The two were talking, and Daiyu thought, since she came here and met an acquaintance, she should go to see her.Daiyu, Xiren, Banzhu, Cuizhu, Lin Yushi, two master father-in-laws in the palace, and the guards of Yu Jihaidai, the guards of Yanzi's mansion, etc., took a car to the Caotang nunnery.

Daiyu asked everyone to wait outside the gate of the nunnery, and only brought in Lin Yushi's attacker and Huang Gonggong, who was personally guarding him.In the courtyard, an old nun was beckoning a nun and said, "You're still practicing, are you okay? I asked you to pick a few jars of water, but you've only picked so much now!"

"Master, am I not in good health?"

"What's wrong with your health? You're clearly avoiding laziness. I'll let you hide, and I'll let you be lazy." The old nun was talking, and the broom in her hand greeted the nun shamelessly.

"Stop, why are you beating someone?" Seeing that it was Yuanyang who was being beaten, Xiren hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Benefactor, the poor nunnery has the rules of the poor nunnery, I hope the benefactor will not meddle in his own business."

At this time, Daiyu saw the attacker coming forward, and Fang saw that the beaten face was covered with dust, which turned out to be a mandarin duck.come here in a hurry.

Yuanyang knelt down in front of Xiren and cried, "Xiren, you see, for the sake of our sister's love in the past, please save me, I can't take it anymore!"

Daiyu burst into tears when Yuanyang said this.Xiren hurriedly pulled it up, and said to Yuanyang: "We won't stay here anymore, go back with me, and you will have what I eat. Yuanyang, look who is coming?!"

"It's not that easy to leave. Cultivation is hard, how did you agree to me?" the old nun reprimanded.

The mandarin duck was reprimanded and burst into tears.Thinking that she was doing the heaviest work in the nunnery, even if she was not in good health, she would be arranged to do the heavy work every month. She really couldn't bear such suffering, so she could only cry in the middle of the night.She heard Xiren say to see who it is, her eyes blurred with tears, and she saw clearly that it was Daiyu.As if seeing a great savior, he kowtowed to Daiyu and said, "Girl, just because I serve the old lady, please help me! I really can't take it anymore!"

Daiyu pulled up the mandarin ducks, and the two hugged each other and wept.Daiyu thought of the kindness of the old lady, now that her girl Yuanyang has been trampled like this, if the old lady knows from heaven, how heartbroken she is.After crying for a while, Daiyu took Yuanyang's hand and said, "Follow me back to Suzhou!"

"Benefactor, please stop." The old nun stepped forward and blocked Daiyu's way: "She can't go!"

"Why?" Daiyu asked.

"Don't ask, the benefactor!"

"If it's for money, I'll give it to you!" Daiyu said.

"Amitabha, monks don't care about money. If she leaves, who will carry the water and materials?"

"Oh, so it's because of this. Could it be that you can't live without her?! Yuanyang, let's go!"

"Stop!" The old nun sternly said, "I see this one, who dares to take her away?!"

"Presumptuous!" the father-in-law dragged his voice and said, "Do you know who she is? She is today's frivolous, future Fu Jin of the Sixth Prince's Mansion!"

"Amitabha, this old nun has seen too many liars like you!"

The father-in-law took out his waist card and showed it in front of the old nun, "As for what you said just now, why don't you kneel down and beg Gege for forgiveness?! Gege's sister Princess Yanzi didn't come, otherwise your nunnery will have to be demolished!"

Seeing the badge and hearing the name Swallow, the old nun's legs trembled, and she fell to her knees with a plop: "Amitabha, the old nun deserves to die. I don't know if it's because of frowns and frowns. I still hope that Gege looks at the old nun's face." Forgive the old nun once you are old!"

"Forget it, forget it, get up. Married people should be compassionate, and should not rely on the strong to bully the weak. For the sake of Guanyin Bodhisattva, please forgive me!" Daiyu said, pulling the mandarin duck away .The old nun watched the mandarin duck go away, not daring to come forward to stop it. L
