A New Biography of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

It was lively, and Daiyu went to bed early in the company of Xueyan and Chunxian because she should not be overworked, and let the two girls free in the middle of the night, Chunxian and Xueyan went excitedly.

At five o'clock the next day, Daiyu woke up. Chunxian and Xueyan didn't sleep all night, even many boys and girls in the mansion didn't sleep either. Drinking and eating, everyone is still in good spirits at dawn, and they don't feel tired. It was the first New Year in the princess's mansion, and many invitations were sent over to invite them to dinner and the theater. Daiyu returned one by one, and only played chess with her brother at home. Playing with cards, and the Rongguo Mansion sent a gift card to come to see him, but Daiyu was also exempted. In this way, he was happy to have a leisurely time. Treating guests to dinner at another house should not work here, even if the elder brothers want to come to visit. Being blocked by the emperor, the whole palace knew that Princess Daixin was deeply loved by the emperor.

Among them, only Yinzhen came to stay for a whole day, playing chess and reading books with Daiyu. It was all a bit of elegant fun, because Prince Yong's mansion was the busiest at this time, going to the palace to worship ancestors, pay homage, and various other activities. The officials who want to pay homage to the government are all involved, so Daiyu told the fourth brother to come back later, Yinzhen nodded, and since he returned to the palace, after the new year, it will be Lantern Festival, Daiyu told the maids in the mansion Each person makes a palace lantern, and the one with the inscription on it must be hung in the mansion for everyone to guess the riddles. Those who guess correctly will get a prize, and they will all go to the mansion to get it. It was very lively for a while, until the night of the Lantern Festival, The windows and doors are full of palace lanterns, including horn lanterns, glass lanterns, gauze lanterns, and silk lanterns. When the fireworks are set off at night, everyone starts to guess lantern riddles. Moaning in disbelief as they watched others receive gifts, everyone kept arguing until the middle of the night.

Seeing that the second day of February is approaching, which is Daiyu's birthday, Yanyu is going to celebrate her sister's birthday in the mansion, and will not hold banquets or treat guests, because her sister is a person who doesn't like to make noise, and only prepares to celebrate her birthday. I bought things for birthday celebration, but I didn’t expect that as early as the second day of February, all the mansions sent over greeting cards, and the network was endless for a while, and they were all for Daiyu’s birthday. I took these into my sister's study and asked Daiyu what she meant. Daiyu didn't want to have this birthday celebration, but she went back once a year ago. , That's all, let's just have fun for a while.

On the second day of February, Hundred Flowers Festival, the entire princess' mansion was full of flowers, bursts of fragrance wafted through the mansion, and there was a lot of voices, girls interspersed among them, carrying tables and chairs to set up the next place, in fact, most of the congratulatory guests returned, only A few who could not refuse stayed, like those princes, elder brothers, princesses, etc. For those who returned, gifts were handed over, and those in charge took them and registered them in the register. The Ministry of Rites gave Daiyu some things by decree. The handle, the four ends of colored satin, a pair of nine-dragon cups, and an ancient mirror made of phoenix jade, each of which is rare. Everyone knows that this is the emperor's preference for Daiyu, and the masters of the palaces also gave it to her. Even Yuan Chun gave Lilly.

Early in the morning, Yanyu was entertaining guests in the front hall, and Daiyu was enjoying the flowers in the peach courtyard. She was very leisurely, no matter how busy she was, she seemed to be isolated from her place, and suddenly she heard the eunuch's shrill voice: "Yong The prince is here, and the concubine Yong is here." Daiyu was very happy when she heard this, but she didn't expect Nalashi to come. Is her body healed?Listen again: "The eighth elder brother is here, the eighth elder brother is here, the ninth elder brother is here, the ninth elder brother is here, the twelfth elder brother is here, and the fourteenth elder brother is here." Sipping a cup of tea, smiling at the beautiful scenery of flowers in front of her, Chunxian came over and urged: "Girl, it's time to chat with those Fujins, you are the birthday star today," Chunxian glanced at Daiyu, very pleased satisfy.

Daiyu's slender figure is like a branch of water lotus leaves, which is extremely beautiful. She wears a light green thin coat, and she pulls her soft green silk into a cloud bun. She carves a blooming green plum with a thin branch of transparent green, delicate plum blossoms The jasper hairpin is inserted, and the pendant jasper beads are hung on the earlobe, which is swaying and graceful, adding infinite style.

Daiyu knew that what Chunxian said was the truth, so she got up and walked forward, and entered the side courtyard, where the female relatives were entertained here, and the male guests were entertained in the main hall in front. Daiyu walked in, and the talking one The pile of wealthy women all stopped, although Nala's face was pale today, she was not very ugly, she beckoned for Daiyu to pass, and as Daiyu walked past, those Fujins would all get up to celebrate Daiyu's birthday, Daiyu Yu went back in a hurry. Although these Fujins are gentle and pleasant now, I'm afraid they are not mortals. They are not comparable to little girls like her. It's better not to provoke them. Na Lashi took Daiyu's hand and introduced For a while, Daiyu and Fujin saluted.

After the banquet was opened, everyone pushed Daiyu to sit up. Daiyu intended to let Nalashi sit down, but Nalashi held Daiyu's hand and insisted on letting her sit. After everyone sat down, the housekeeper came in and said softly. In reply, the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion came to celebrate Daiyu's birthday with several girls next to her. Everyone here knows that Daiyu is the granddaughter of the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion. Grandmother came to celebrate her birthday, I don't know how Princess Daixin dismissed those Jia family members, Daiyu just stood up, raised her eyebrows and smiled, ordered the housekeeper to invite grandma in, and came down to greet her herself, even if Mother Jia was wrong, she would not It will make others laugh at them.

Jiamu led three girls from Jia's mansion and Shi Xiangyun was brought in by the steward Lin. Daiyu walked over. The Jiamu wanted to salute. Daiyu hurriedly supported Jiamu's body. After receiving the gift, Daiyu accepted it, helped up the sisters, and ordered another table. Mother Jia came up, accompanied by the girls, and Daiyu sat in the seat of the birthday star. Several Fujin saw that Daiyu was impeccable, Then they began to gossip again, and the table was opened for a while, except for a few big girls in the mansion who walked inside, the rest of the little girls were only waiting outside for the food, and behind Daiyu Chunxian and Xueyan were waiting.

These Fujin people usually don't eat much food, they just put on a show, they retreated for a while, moved to another place, served tea, Nalashi took Daiyu's hand and pointed at several people in Jia's mansion The girl asked Daiyu: "These girls are a bit delicate in appearance, let's call them over and sit together." But Bafujin recognized Shi Xiangyun, beckoned Xiangyun to go over, and said with a smile: "Okay, Shi Xiangyun." Girl, do you insist on asking me to call you? I don’t know how to please,” Xiangyun said with a smile, “Today is Princess Daixin’s birthday, so Xiangyun just casually called Bafujin.” After carefully asking about the situation of the Sanchun sisters, Jia Mu smiled and replied one by one. These women are all distinguished Fujin. If the three girls are favored, it is their blessing. Bafujin is the most enthusiastic. Yes, ask this, ask that, I just don’t know what kind of wishful thinking is being played, after drinking tea for a while, a deacon came up to ask for instructions, a troupe of actors was ready, whether to start, Daiyu got up and led everyone to the last Walking in the peach blossom courtyard next to it, the peach blossoms in the courtyard are slightly blooming, and the fragrance is fragrant. A colorful shed was temporarily built in the peach courtyard, but the falling flowers sing the beautiful scenery. It is such a beautiful picture. The mansion is really elegant and fresh.

For a while, Daiyu ordered a play, and asked Prince Yong to order one, and Ba Fujin also ordered one, and the others just said listen, and didn't order any more. Everyone was listening to the play, Nala took Daiyu's hand and whispered something: "Why doesn't Yu'er go to the palace?" Daiyu smiled and said, "My brother hasn't come back, so it's inconvenient to leave the palace." Thinking of Honghui again, Then he asked Honghui's situation: "How is Honghui these days? Is it still so noisy?" When Nala mentioned Honghui, he became worried and shook his head: "It's not like that. I haven't been optimistic about it for several years. I didn't expect him to do well either, as long as he is alive and knows what's hot." Daiyu felt distressed for a while, the actor on the stage had already performed, and Daiyu ordered someone to give a reward.

The eighth Fujin got up and said goodbye: "The princess will definitely go to the mansion someday to play." The other Fujin also left, Daiyu couldn't force her to stay after hearing this, so she got up and sent it to the gate of the garden. Elder brother was waiting, and they went back together in a sedan chair. Daiyu went back to the courtyard and invited Nalashi to sit in the Taoyuan for a while. I went into Taoyuan with a few sisters and sat down.

Mother Jia looked around for a while, and was shocked in her heart. It turned out that she didn't believe what Jia Lian and his wife said, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that what she said was true. This princess mansion is indeed a rich place, but Yu Er'er is now the princess, and she is no longer close to Jia's family. Even if she has any plans, she may not be able to turn to Jia's family, but Jia's mother's eyes flickered.

Daiyu put Jia Mu and others in the study of Taoyuan to have tea, and accompanied Nalashi to her dormitory, went in and sat down, Chunxian served tea, Nalashi took a sip, and asked Daiyu The old illness was better, Daiyu nodded and thanked Nalashi for her kindness, the two chatted in the room for a while, it was mostly small talk, Nalashi was a little tired because of his poor health, so he just got up to say goodbye When I went back, I repeatedly asked Daiyu to go to Prince Yong's mansion for a few days. Daiyu sent her out the door until she was far away, and then came back to the yard. The snow goose stood in the study and stared at Jiamu like a thief. With some girls, Sanchun sisters were a little annoyed because they knew that Baochai stole the hairpin, and they knew that they were guarding against them, but they couldn't help it, so they just sat on the chair quietly and drank tea.

When Daiyu returned to her study, Mother Jia beckoned to Daiyu's side lovingly.
