The Red Chamber is not a dream

[Chapter [-]] Resentment over old things and new hatred · Thinking about new people brings old sorrows

Last time, he said good things about designing Liu's affairs; but I don't know why he hates Liu's so deeply.This matter has to be talked about many years ago, but it is an old grievance.It turned out that Jiayan's biological mother was a concubine of Zhao Pengyu, who passed away shortly after giving birth to Jiayan; When he got older, he became even more resentful when he saw how Liu Shi treated him.

Although Na Pengyu is the father of Jiayan, he has never cared much about him because he is a concubine. Besides, he has been fighting abroad for many years, and there are only two in his family, the Liu family and the Jiayan Jiayin, so the Liu family can do whatever he wants.Although he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, he didn't take care of him.Such good words grew until he was in his teens, when Pengyu was transferred back to Beijing, he suddenly became interested in him; first he found someone to teach him how to study; Take it to your knees.Since Mrs. Liu wants to look virtuous, it is undeniable; but in her heart she keeps cursing.Because he only got good news and a daughter, but he wanted to have another son himself; now that he has recognized the good news and entered the genealogy, shouldn't he be the eldest son?It's just that he said that he loves good words every day as if he had written them himself, but now he is riding a tiger, and he has to hold his nose and admit it.

Miss Zhao Jiayin's temperament is exactly the same as his mother's; moreover, she is also a bit smart, so after a few years, she will be his mother's arm, and she will be her mother at home. Share worries.On the one hand, Mrs. Liu was complacent, but she still had shortcomings. She deeply hated why Jiayin was not a man; therefore, she secretly searched for the secret recipe for having a child in many ways, in order to have another child.It's just that I don't know when I'm going to have a son, and I'm afraid that the reputation of treating my concubine son harshly will spread, so it's okay to treat good words on the face.

When it came time to discuss the good news, Mrs. Liu also made up her mind to find a suitable marriage for her; she was afraid that the daughter-in-law's family background would be too low to make people laugh, and she was afraid that the daughter-in-law she found would be too shrewd and take her away. Stewardship goes.In this way, you have to teach people to look at you and say nothing, but also to suit your own wishes, choose thousands of choices, and choose the best to welcome the spring; when you get married and enter the door, you are afraid that once you have a child, all your plans will inevitably go to waste .Therefore, I secretly calculated that I should give Yingchun the infertility medicine during eating; at that time, I might make good words to kill it, so that I can fulfill my wish.

Liu's wishful thinking made a lot of noise, but she didn't know that the good news had caused her to suspect the reason for her own mother's death that day.I don't know what kind of tricks he used, but he knew that it was Mrs. Liu who killed his mother that day; when he heard about it, he gritted his teeth, wishing to put Mrs. Liu to death immediately; but he had no good plan, so he had to endure it for the time being , but secretly bought everyone in the family one by one; up to now, there are still some confidantes available.The disease of Mrs. Liu the day before yesterday was his method. It was nothing more than fearing that he would harm him while he was married. It was just because next year would be the provincial examination. If Mrs. Liu died, he would have to observe filial piety for three years. Gradually received supernatural powers.Now that the good words have been agreed with Yingchun, he intends to teach him to pretend to be sick to deceive others, so he put these things aside for the time being and concentrates on studying, waiting for the provincial examination.

It's just that although Jiayan has no peerless talent, he can be regarded as a smart person. Why has he never won the Juren, but he is only a scholar?It turns out that this is also the reason why he keeps a low profile, and it is more of the cruelty of the Mengliu family.Na Pengyu was born as a general, but Jiayan was born weak, and he definitely has no strength to fight in the battlefield, so the only way to go is to study.Then Liu Shi originally regarded him as a thorn in the side, if he benefited a little from studying, wouldn't he bring trouble on himself?What's more, Pengyu was not at home that day; he was a little child, and he only wanted to protect himself, but God took pity on him. He didn't have any thoughts on studying; .

Now that Pengyu is going out again, the good news has already established itself, so he is not very worried about Mrs. Liu harming him again; besides, he is getting older, but the rural examination only has to be done once every three years.It is good to say that although this person looks calm, he is actually competitive; he knows that he has some abilities, but he also has the ambition of "keeping his wife and son", so he is working hard in the room, waiting for the end of next year.

It's just that Yingchun doesn't know a lot about the secrets, including Liu Shi's illness that day, and the good news has never been told to him;Now, since Mrs. Liu taught him not to come to pay his respects, he stayed in the room and did not come out; but he walked up once when there were only Xiuju and others around him.Since Mrs. Xing knew that he was pretending to be sick, she was not worried at all, but she often came here to see him; Mrs. Liu was not suspicious either.Nothing for now.

There is nothing else to say about the spring festival at the moment.Shi Nai, the Bowling Marquis, has been reassigned as an official from other provinces, and he will bring his family to take up the post soon; because Jue Xiangyun is a bit older now, he intends to make an appointment with him before going out.At that time, after three to five years, they can come back and get married.Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Lu discussed this, and because Xiangyun is now living in Jia's mansion, they discussed going here to pay a visit; but when Jia's mother heard the words, she said, "Yun'er is still young, and now you are in a hurry to ask for a visit." It’s natural to be in a hurry to go out, where can I choose a good marriage? Besides, I’m reluctant to teach him to go out. If you go by yourself, I’ll teach him to live with me, and it’s serious to choose another marriage slowly.” When Lu Shi and Chen Shi heard the words, they couldn't talk anymore, so they had to tell and quit.

When the two of them went back, Mrs. Chen said angrily, "What do you mean, my aunt! Now he is the old lady of Jia's family, how can he take care of our family's affairs again! Besides, what is this? When the family members go out, one Putting my daughter in someone else's house, I don't have to teach her to talk; it seems like we can't tolerate it!" Lu Shi sneered: "I'm afraid it's not that he wants to take care of it, but he wants to match Yun'er with his family. What about Baoyu?"

Mrs. Chen was shocked when she heard the words, but when she thought about it carefully, the more she thought about it, the more she thought about it, and she said: "This move is too cruel." Mrs. Lu laughed and said, "The old lady has kept these people for a long time. The young daughter is in the mansion, she said she likes to be lively, but she also understands her intentions. It's just that the brothers of the two families are far ahead, and the Jia family can't get ahead; now that Yun'er is taken over, it's just a second best!"

Mrs. Chen was a little at a loss when she heard Mrs. Lu's words, so she said, "How can we be born now?" Mrs. Lu said with a smile, "It's no matter what our life is. Anyway, that's not the daughter of our two families; Mrs. Kuang Jun is now taking it over and raising it, don't we agree? You have never heard people talk about the two of us behind our backs!" Hearing this, Mrs. Chen was silent for a long time and said: "That's it. Anyway, our two families He has never had a daughter before, so his reputation will not be ruined; Yun girl is willing to do so, who can force him to go?"

Sure enough, in a few days, Xiangyun came home and said that Jia's mother would take him to live. Lu and Chen would not stop him, but ordered someone to pack his clothes for him and send him to Jia's mansion.Xiangyun thought that his two aunts must teach him something. Seeing that they didn't talk much, they were happy; so he resigned from his aunt and uncle and went to Jia's mansion.When Shi Nai took office, he packed up his things and went to his office.

When Baochai heard that Jiamu had picked up Xiangyun, she guessed the reason for it, and felt a little relieved, and said to herself, "It seems that even if my aunt and the others come back, they won't just care about arranging for me. "So I didn't live for a few days, so I discussed it with Daiyu, and I went to live at home. The two often joked together, or went to Jiayu's house; It is interesting to recite poems, or splash ink.

In a blink of an eye, summer goes to autumn solstice.That day when Jinyu came back from the palace, she told Daiyu that the concubine was not doing well recently, and told him to go to the palace tomorrow; Daiyu was a little surprised when she heard that, and said, "I just went to the palace a few days ago. The empress is still talking and laughing; why is it that you are not feeling well now?" Yanyu said: "I think the old people are weaker. It is not known whether the weather is getting colder or the wind is blowing. I will go in today. Greetings, but the concubine told me that she has not seen you for a long time, she seems to be a bit confused. Now all the concubines in the palace are reducing their food and make-up for her, and now she is ordering that all feasts and feasts will be avoided—" So far , then paused, and said: "If you live in the palace for a while, I see that the concubine really likes you."

Daiyu heard what Yunyu said, and although she didn't finish her sentence, she still had a rough idea of ​​what it meant; she couldn't help being sentimental for a moment, so she nodded her head in response.Seeing him like this, Yunyu comforted him and said, "I don't know what's going on now, so you don't have to. It's more serious to pack up your things first; you need to tell my aunt, but I need to tell my grandmother too." Teach Zijuan Xueyan and others to pack Daiyu's clothes; and send people to sue everywhere.Tomorrow, he personally sent Daiyu to the palace.

But she said that Daiyu came to the concubine's palace and went forward to salute. The concubine was very happy when she saw him coming, so she said with a smile, "I just told your brother that I missed you yesterday, and you are here today. I I told him that I will teach you to stay with me for a longer time; you can also talk to me. I will be more energetic some other day, and I will take you around." Seeing the concubine's situation like this, Daiyu felt very sad. It's not like being confused; it just nodded in agreement.The concubine liked it even more, and said with a smile: "There is a new troupe in the palace. I will teach them to sing for you." Daiyu and her party agreed, but the concubine slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep. .

Seeing Daiyu's surprised face, the palace servants came up and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine has always been like this these days. She fell asleep after talking for a while, but woke up after a short sleep. Repeat this; please go outside to rest first, and when the concubine wakes up, the slaves and maidservants will come to find you soon." Hearing this, Daiyu nodded, got up and went out.

The outer room is a small study room; the concubine has nothing to do on weekdays and likes to listen to people read, so there are many books here.Daiyu sat there, and took a "Book of Songs" from the bookshelf; while reading it, she saw a palace official coming in from outside, and said in a low voice, "The concubine Ping has arrived." Not long after, she saw a woman , wearing a half-worn sky-blue jacket and a few pieces of plain silver jewelry on his head, came into the room with the hands of two palace servants.

Daiyu heard that the palace people came to report, so she put down the book and stood up and waited. Now when she saw the concubine Ping come in, she saluted and said, "May you be well." You are exempt from courtesy." On the one hand, she looked Daiyu up and down again, and there seemed to be a sense of melancholy in her eyes, so she smiled and said, "Isn't the empress dowager still awake?" Daiyu said in a low voice, "Not yet, just now Go to sleep." Concubine Ping nodded, and before she could say anything, she saw a palace man coming outside and said: "The empress dowager is awake, ask who is outside, and teach the empress to go in with the Junjun." , Then he went to the inner room with the palace people.
