Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

It is said that when Aunt Xue heard Daiyu's straightforward question, her eyes flickered slightly, Weiyu's face turned red, and she said with a smile: "Miss Lin also knows that your sister came to the capital this time without being selected. My sister's Deyan Ronggong is sure to be selected. I don't want to care about your brother's behavior. My aunt is always caring as a daughter like your sister. I thought about finding a good home for her, so I ended up with my aunt's life. What is on my mind. I don’t know, alas.” She sighed, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her eyes and continued, “I didn’t know that I went to the household department to inquire and found out that your sister was selected from the roster of girls to be drafted for no reason. Even if the name is removed permanently, there is no hope of running for the next election. No matter how many good things have been said, people should not say the reason. It is a pity that we have been cautious when we came all the way to the capital, so our name was canceled for no reason. It's really unfair."

Daiyu listened quietly, feeling a little strange in her heart, Baochai would be more than enough to choose a maid in the palace, why would her name be revoked for no reason, and Aunt Xue still kept talking about your sister and brother, but she didn't pay attention to her own words "No Brothers and Sisters" couldn't help being a little angry, and said lightly: "Then Auntie should ask someone from the household department to argue. If they are unreasonable, Auntie can go to a higher official to question it?"

Aunt Xue sighed: "Why not, but they don't know what kind of slander they have heard and they just don't let go. They just say it's the meaning of the above, so we can't do anything. Because it is related to your sister's life's happiness, so Auntie is willing to give up. The old face wanted to ask Miss Lin for help."

Daiyu smiled slightly, looked at Aunt Xue's face full of expectations and said politely: "Auntie's words are wrong, it's about the palace, what can I, a child, do to help. Such a big matter should be dealt with by people in the officialdom Now, if the aunt of such a powerful family like my grandmother's family doesn't invite me, how can I think of me as a child. The second aunt is the sister of the aunt's direct sister. If the aunt speaks, there will be no second aunt. Wouldn't it be more important for people from Jia's mansion to come forward than me as a child. Besides, my eldest cousin is always in the palace, wouldn't it be cheaper to ask her to go."

Aunt Xue sighed softly and said, "How did your child's family know that with your grandmother's ability, other things may be easy to handle, but their family really can't say anything about the draft. Yuan Chun's rank in the palace is not high. Be cautious every day, don't take more than one step, don't dare to say a word, it's so pitiful, if she comes out rashly, she might bring disaster. Miss Lin is familiar with Princess Beijing, and Princess Beijing is the Queen's cousin. As for the girl, if the girl can mention a word in front of the concubine, your sister will definitely be included in the roster again."

Daiyu brushed her hair lightly with her bare hands, and said gracefully: "Auntie is hard on Daiyu. Daiyu came to Beijing to treat her illness, and she should only study innocently for the rest of her time. Seeing the concubine, after all, it was only the concubine who pityed me and said a few more words, so I won the favor of the concubine. This draft was originally a matter of the emperor's family, and outsiders can't comment on the affairs of the palace. Daiyu is alone Girls in the boudoir should stick to their duties, live in seclusion, be cautious in words and deeds, how can they open their mouths to ask these things. Even the concubine is afraid that it will be difficult to control. The concubine pities me, so I have the nerve to speak to the concubine. I can only feel ashamed of my aunt."

Aunt Xue became anxious when she heard that, she felt that she had already said all the good things, and she was unwilling to be so humbled by an elder to a little girl, but Daiyu pushed back and forth again, showing annoyance, and her tone became a little impatient: "Why do you bother, big girl?" Don't talk about affection, push it so cleanly. Who knows that the girl's parents are close friends with the Prince of Jing and the Princess, and the Princess loves the girl even more, and even the girl who is close to her is with the girl. It's just a refusal, but it can fulfill your sister's life's happiness with just one sentence. The title, the girl's face is also full of brilliance, isn't it, our family will also be grateful for the girl's kindness for the rest of my life."

Daiyu was annoyed in her heart, Aunt Xue came here to ask for help, but now she asked aggressively, it seems that life and death in this world are easy to bow down and difficult to bow their heads, they said it was a matter of Baochai's life, but they are still so proud .And don't they really know that women with surnames outside the palace can't open their mouths to ask questions, and they usually do their best to slander behind their backs, but now they use themselves as a springboard.

She smiled coldly, her eyes filled with frost, and said: "Auntie, what is the meaning of this, is she complaining about Daiyu for not helping her? Even if the concubine treats Daiyu a little better, shouldn't Daiyu She is proud of being favored and proud, and mentions things that are difficult for others. If this is the case, how much love will disappear. Auntie only thinks that Cousin Yuanchun can't talk too much and is wronged by others. Why don't she think about Daiyu. Daiyu is alone If you offend the palace here, how can you gain a foothold here. Besides, I, a little girl with a different surname, can take care of Sister Bao's life's happiness. Sister Bao is a daughter of your Xue family but not a relative of my Lin family. As for you, Daiyu doesn’t dare to control, should not, and can’t. Sister Bao’s glory is a result of her past and present life, so what does it have to do with Daiyu? Sister Bao’s loss of glory is also due to fate , how can it become Daiyu's responsibility. The household department used to handle affairs according to the law. If the aunt's family is really Jiyueguangfeng, why should he be afraid of him abusing his power? .”

After hearing what Daiyu said, Baochai couldn't express what it felt like. She thought Daiyu was so young and easy to coax, but she was so sharp-tongued and never backed down even a single step. Can't come out, but now there is only one way left for her, and she can't give up whatever she says, so she had to be cheeky, raised her hand and lightly rubbed Daiyu's cheeks and said with a smile: "Look at Lin girl's mouth is so clever , I don’t know what to say, it’s not really annoying, and it’s not like I like it. I just wanted my sister to mention it to Concubine Beijing. With such serious consequences, our sisters and their family usually talk and laugh about how close they are, and my sister should not be stingy with this sentence."

Daiyu didn't like her elder-like tone and pretense of intimacy, and said sarcastically: "The girl's affairs are originally decided by the parents, and sister Bao is still talking to Daiyu here to care about her life's happiness. Sister Zilaibao was dignified and prudent when she followed her duties. She was a model for our sisters. She also taught us to abide by the boudoir precepts, to keep our tongues to a minimum, and to just be a female celebrity. Now Daiyu should abide by it. , how can I casually ask about the emperor's candidate concubine, even if it's too much to listen to, sister Bao has always been the most careful and considerate among the sisters, why did you embarrass me."

Baochai blushed, and bit her cherry lips lightly, choking there.The rouge-like cheeks are like pink peonies, which are even more charming.

Hong Yan was already impatient after listening for a long while, so she said coldly: "Mrs. A "family of flesh and blood, sisters and family", our girl also said that she has no brothers and sisters, but I don't know that our girl's surname is Lin, and your family's surname is Xue, so how can we become a family. Your family has become a holy family and shut us down What's the matter with the girl, is it possible that we girls still want to live by pointing at you?"

Both Aunt Xue and Baochai looked cold, their faces turned red and then turned pale. Baochai forced a smile, barely able to maintain a calm and dignified expression, and said in a slightly austere voice: "Miss Hongyan was joking, we don't have any more This means that we are usually on good terms with Sister Lin, and Sister Lin is capable, so I hope to get some support from Miss Lin."

Hongyan raised her eyelids to look at Baochai with a half-smile, and said, "No one in the capital knows that the four great families of 'Jiawang Shixue' are united and powerful, and they are most wealthy. The matter that Ms. Xue mentioned was not something that a girl in a boudoir should take care of and what she is capable of. You can't let the girls interfere, and you don't have to let others say that our girls don't obey boudoir training."

Daiyu took a sip of the tea gracefully and gently, raised her eyebrows and said in a manly voice: "I have let down the trust and love of my aunt and sister Bao. Daiyu dare not accept this gift. I only hope that my aunt and Bao The girl knows about Daiyu's difficulties, so don't annoy Daiyu."

When Aunt Xue and Baochai saw and talked to this point, there was no possibility of turning around.Seeing that Daiyu was ready to serve tea to drive away the guests, she had to stand up and forced a smile: "It actually disturbed Miss Lin's rest. The girl's help is out of affection, and it's my duty not to help. We can't blame you. I've been tired of the girl for a long time. It’s our fault, so let’s say goodbye.”

Daiyu said casually, "Auntie and Sister Bao, let's sit down again."

Aunt Xue laughed dryly and said, "No, the family is busy just after the new year, and the girl is weak, so we don't want to bother her."

Daiyu said lightly: "Then Daiyu is worth staying. Auntie and Sister Bao go slowly."Send it to the second gate and return.
