Qing Wu Red House

The Flower Festival on February 15th in the ninth year of Hongzheng was Daiyu’s [-]-year-old birthday ceremony. Early in the morning, Daiyu was surrounded by Yang Wushuang and maids and dressed in light blue clothes that had already been prepared. Waiting in the room on the side of the painted screen.Although it is just a simple collection of clothes, there are no patterns or embroidery.But Pei Wen and Xiao Ju had to make this dress for several days. Instead of choosing the usual black, they chose the same color as the skirt.It also looks unique.

Before Yang Wushuang came to praise her, a little girl came to look for her in a hurry: "Grandma, there are already guests at the door, and the uncle asked you to go to the hall!" Yang Wushuang looked straight, and looked at Daiyu's face. The mirror tidied up the clothes on his body, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be nervous, everything has me and your brother!"

Daiyu looked at Yang Wushuang with a smile, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be nervous, look, your face is tense!" Yang Wushuang smiled awkwardly: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with my sister's big day. , I'll go to the living room first, my sister will wait!"

Yang Wushuang walked out of the private room quickly with the girl, and entered the hall beside the painted screen sky.Today, Daiyu's Jiji ceremony is set on the bank of the painting screen.At this time, the usual tables and chairs in Huaping Tianpan have been cleared, and the partitions on both sides have also been opened, making the hall appear unusually wide.

Lin Haorui ordered someone to build a one-foot-high platform at the end of the hall, with stairs on both sides.Behind the table is a three-foot-square embroidered work, and the embroidered workers are clearly made by Qingwen and Mu Qing.On the embroidery, there is a vague picture of a girl playing among the flowers. Although the girl's face can't be seen clearly, her figure is Daiyu.

And the embroidery of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, which ushered in the famous Huaping Tianpan, has also been replaced by a picture of a hundred flowers competing for beauty, which is displayed during the Flower Festival, which is eye-catching.At this time, Lin Haorui was still wearing a purple brocade robe, and Yang Wushuang's dress was mainly purple, and the clothes of the two husband and wife complemented each other.It seems that it was also made by Na Qingwen and Mu Qing.

Wang Xifeng was the first to arrive with her eldest sister and fat brother. After seeing this, she said with a smile: "Qingwen is already married, so you still have to trouble her like this!" Lin Haorui laughed and said, "That girl is too. What a caring heart, these things started to be prepared two years ago, and Muqing and Mu Qing actually hid it from us. Originally, I also invited the current calligraphers and painters to draw a painting. Who would have thought that Qingwen would send someone Send this here. I'll see, these things are better, so I put them on display!"

Naturally, Wang Xifeng and Lin Haorui were not polite, and looked carefully at the embroiderer.He smiled and said: "How is this any better? If you take it out, you will definitely be robbed." Yang Wushuang smiled and gave Wang Xifeng to the seat of the female family member on the right, and asked softly: "Is there any news about the second girl's marriage?" Wang Xifeng nodded in relief: "You guys are doing a great job. Yesterday, the Sun family sent someone to say that the marriage will be postponed for half a year."

Yang Wushuang covered his mouth and smiled: "Auntie should be relieved, it is said that the war in the south is going well, and Second Uncle Lian will return to Beijing in a triumphant return soon." Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, knowing that the Yang family came from the army.These news are naturally well-informed.

She was about to say something more when she saw the guests arriving one after another. Yang Wushuang hurriedly greeted them with Lin Haorui.After a while, Mother Jia came with her eldest daughter-in-law, Aunt Xue and several daughters-in-law.Although Yang Wushuang was smiling, he still had some doubts in his heart.She can remember.When the invitation was delivered that day, no one from Xue's family was invited, so why did his son come with him now?

Lin Haorui naturally noticed it too.But at this time, he naturally couldn't throw people out, so he took a look at Chu Xia.Chu Xia went to Daiyu's room knowingly, and casually talked about it.Daiyu didn't feel anything, she still sat there and let Zijuan help her tie her belt carefully.Xueyan was nagging and repeating the etiquette for a while.I am afraid that Daiyu will forget it if she is not paying attention.

Qing Wen and Mu Qing also came to the Herb Garden early today, and they were with Pei Wen and Xiao Ju at this time.Checking over and over again the clothes and accessories that Daiyu will change for a while.Although there were a lot of girls in the room, it was quiet.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside, and Daiyu knew that it must be the sisters from Jia's house, so she hurriedly asked Zijuan to go out to greet her.I saw Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai and Xiangyun all arrived together.It was okay for others to arrive, but Xiang Yun came forward with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Sister Lin on her birthday!"

Daiyu pulled Xiangyun to sit beside her: "You came together too? I thought you'd have to wait a while to get there!" Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "I went to Rongguo Mansion yesterday and got together with my sisters. Fan. Sister Bao couldn't refuse to come at first, so we scolded her."

Baochai was sitting silently at the side at this moment, looking at everything in the house, seeing the clothes and jewelry that the maids were arranging, and seeing all kinds of gifts piled up in the corner, she didn't know what she was thinking.Hearing Xiangyun mention her at this time, he smiled calmly and said, "Sister Yun is talking nonsense again. I'm just afraid that Sister Lin won't have time to greet us, so why not celebrate my birthday!" Xiangyun curled his lips slightly.

Tanchun was looking at Daiyu carefully at this moment, and saw that Daiyu was wearing that light blue color dress, her long hair was hanging down her back, and only a light layer of makeup was applied on her face, but she still looked pleasing to the eye , can't bear to look away.Thinking of how I will reach my age in just a few months, I can't help feeling deeply envious.But she also knew that with her status and status, it was impossible for Jia's mansion to hold such a ceremony for her, and it was just a matter of inviting a troupe to have fun.

She sighed in her heart, adjusted her thoughts, pulled Yingchun beside her and said, "Sister Lin, do you know that the second sister's wedding date has been postponed?" Daiyu's eyes lit up: "Really?" Daiyu was a little dissatisfied with her reaction, and said with a smile, "What? Sister Lin seems very happy?"

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood.Tanchun and the others obviously didn't know about the evil deeds of the Sun family, but they were only happy about Yingchun's engagement.Daiyu didn't know if Yingchun didn't know, so she asked softly, "What does Second Sister think?"

On the contrary, Yingchun was very peaceful: "The second sister-in-law said that the man's character is not good, so we can wait until my brother comes back. It's just that the engagement ceremony has passed, so what if my brother comes back, but it's just another dispute with my father."

Both Tanchun and Xichun looked at Yingchun curiously, as if they didn't know much about it.Tanchun said angrily: "Second sister, why didn't you go to ask the elder, it's a matter of a lifetime, how can you act so hastily!" Yingchun smiled and shook her head: "Today is sister Lin's big day. Say What do you do with these horrible things." Then he took out a gift and handed it to Daiyu: "The gift is very shabby, but it's my best wishes, please don't dislike it, sister Lin!"

Daiyu took it with both hands, and said with a smile: "What did the second sister say, I am grateful!" Then everyone also sent their own gifts, Zijuan helped Daiyu put them away one by one, and put them away as before. It's on the wall with other presents.

Someone outside said: "Girl, Miss Li is here!" Daiyu smiled and said, "Please!" Everyone saw a girl in a goose yellow dress appearing at the door, it was Li Lan'er.Li Lan'er saw that there were so many people in the room.She couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and then said with a smile: "Sister Lin, I'm not late!" Daiyu hurriedly asked Zijuan and others to show Li Lan'er a seat, and the two girls came and went several times in private.They have similar personalities, and they are already close friends with handkerchiefs.This time, Lin Haorui even invited Lin Lan'er as a praiser for the Ji Ji ceremony. Li Lan'er was very pleasantly surprised and readily agreed.

Naturally, Baochai and the others had heard of Li Lan'er's name.A few days ago, the queen made the decision and only gave it to Yang Chengping.In fact, when Daiyu heard it for the first time, it was a little funny, thinking that the Li and Yang families were really destined, and although Li Hui had no destiny with Sister Yang, she became a son-in-law.But Sister Li became Sister Yang's sister-in-law.It is also a good story to say that I will go out in the future.

Li Lan'er was naturally sympathetic to Yang Chengping, but she was not as shy as a normal little girl.After looking at it generously, he nodded in agreement.This incident made Lin Haorui and Yang Chengrong laugh for a long time.

Li Lan'er saluted with all the girls in Jia's mansion, and then took Daiyu's hand and said, "I could have arrived earlier, but my brother and father were afraid that I would make a mistake, so they dragged me to demonstrate again and again. It's a little late."

Daiyu sympathized with each other and said: "It's the same with me. I've heard their nagging since morning. Sister, don't worry. Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, hasn't arrived yet, so it won't be too late."

When Tanchun heard Daiyu mentioning this, he curled his lips slightly.As soon as Lin Haorui's post was delivered that day, everyone thought that Sister Lin and Ji's guests must be the ancestors, but who knew that it was His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess in the end.Although the ancestor didn't say anything in face, he must be uncomfortable in his heart.

Although Tanchun felt wronged for Jia's mother, she knew that Daiyu's identity was different now, and they could no longer force this.But Xiangyun said bluntly: "Could it be that Sister Lin invited Her Royal Highness the Princess as the guest of honor? What about the old ancestor?"

Li Lan'er raised her eyes and glanced at Shi Xiangyun, holding Daiyu's hand slightly heavier, and said to Xiangyun with a smile: "Mr. Jia is old, how did you make such a fuss. Sister Shi will have to look after Mr. Gu later. Taijun is it!"

Daiyu knew that Xiangyun was outspoken, so she never took it to heart and pulled Li Lan'er to speak.After a while, Wang Xifeng came in with her eldest sister, who is Daiyu's assistant today. Although she is only seven or eight years old, Wang Xifeng felt that this was also a kind of experience, so she agreed to Lin Haorui's request.

Wang Xifeng looked at the girls in the room and said with a smile: "Today, there is really no place in your house that is clean, and it is so lively here." Then she stepped forward to straighten Daiyu's hair, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness It's already arrived, the ancestor and Mrs. Yang have already sat down for a long time. The ceremony will officially begin in a while, sister Lin, can you be nervous?"

Daiyu shook her head, smiled softly, and was about to speak when she saw Yang Wushuang bringing the girls in, and said urgently: "Okay, all the girls go to the front to watch the ceremony, our ceremony is about to start. It's started." Then everyone congratulated Daiyu again, and then went out.

Yang Wushuang walked up to Daiyu and whispered in her ear: "His Royal Highness is here too!" Daiyu was startled and looked at Yang Wushuang in disbelief.Yang Wushuang chuckled: "In short, there is no rule that says he cannot come. Even if there is, no one dares to say anything when he comes so openly."

Daiyu couldn't help covering her face, looked down at the clothes she was wearing, and sighed softly, she was really nervous now.This brother Tianyou is really... Daiyu wanted to complain about Tianyou, but found that she was also full of joy.

In the painting screen skyside, all the guests had already sat upright, and the silk, bamboo and wind music also stopped.Lin Haorui stood up, took a few steps to the stage, and said in a loud voice: "Today, my little sister, Daiyu, is honoring the ceremony. Thank you all for coming here. Hao Rui thanked you here first, and now the ceremony officially begins."

Lin Haorui stepped off the stage, and saw Li Lan'er in yellow clothes, turning out from the inner room, and stopped at the steps west of the ceremony stage.Zijuan and Xueyan held a soft mat in their hands and gently placed it in the middle of the table.Qingwen held a silver washbasin and stood under the steps to the west. Li Lan'er stepped forward to try it seriously, and Peiwen gave her a handkerchief to dry it off.

At this time, Daiyu was wearing Caiyi, with her long hair loose, and slowly walked up to the stage.There was a lot of discussion from the audience, Mrs. Yang asked Xiang Wushuang: "This child is too thin. I heard that he was sick a while ago?" Wushuang nodded: "Yes, we are all worried about the gift of Jiji. You should miss it, but luckily you have recovered in the past few days." Mrs. Yang said: "You are also proficient in medical science. You should help to recuperate more on weekdays!" Wu Shuang said with a smile: "I can save it, grandma don't worry! "

And Tianyou was sitting beside Lin Haorui, looking at Daiyu intently.When he said that he would come to attend the ceremony, Emperor Hong Zhen gave him a good meal, and Hao Lai always nodded in agreement in the end.Otherwise, how could he appear here.

Daiyu was bowing to salute the guests at this moment, when she raised her head, she met Tianyou's gaze, and hurriedly avoided it.Sitting together with Tanchun, Baochai naturally also saw Tianyou, and couldn't help feeling deeply jealous.

After Daiyu finished her salute, she knelt down on the soft mat facing west.Li Lan'er looked at Daiyu and smiled softly, then walked onto the stage.Er Rong followed Li Lan'er with a tray, and Li Lan'er also knelt on the soft mat.Gently holding up her hair, she combed it for Daiyu.

At this time, Princess Yunting stood up from her seat, and Lin Haorui and Yang Wushuang hurriedly stood up at the same time.Qingwen held the silver basin again and walked to Princess Yunting. After the Princess tried it, she sat down again.

Not long.Li Lan'er had combed Daiyu's hair and put the comb on the south side of the mat.At this time, sister Qiao was holding a tray.A hairpin was placed on top.Princess Yun Ting came to the stage and knelt on the soft seat like Li Lan'er. Daiyu looked respectful and listened to Princess Yun Ting's teachings: "It's an auspicious day for the moon, and you will be dressed in Yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, and follow along." Er Chengde. Shoukao Mianhong, to introduce Jingfu."

After Princess Yunting finished speaking, she put the hairpin on Daiyu's head and returned to her seat.Only then did Daiyu return to the elegant room accompanied by Lin Lan'er and Sister Qiao. Mu Qing and others took care of her and put on a child skirt of the same color. Come to the stage.

This time Daiyu did not go directly to the stage, but hired Ting to walk in front of Lin Haorui, knelt down and kowtowed deeply, and said softly: "Daiyu thanked my brother for his kindness in nurturing, and I will always keep it in my heart. Dare to forget!"

Lin Haorui looked at Daiyu who was kneeling in front of him, and his eyes were slightly sore.He helped Daiyu up, and said softly: "It's my honor to have a sister like you. I'm so lucky, and I'm so happy."

Daiyu shed tears softly, remembering every little bit of these years, and firmly remembered every moment in her heart.Brother, thank you!Lin Haorui gently tried Daiyu's tears, and said softly, "Go, brother is still waiting for you to become an adult!"

Daiyu then went up to the stage again, sat upright and knelt down.Li Lan'er took off the simple hairpin just now, and Princess Yunting cleaned her hands again, took the pearl hairpin headdress from sister Qiao, and said loudly: "The auspicious moon is in order, and Shen Erfu. Your respect Prestige, Shushende. My eyebrows live forever, and I will always be blessed by Hu Fu."

Daiyu returned to the private room again, this time changing into a deep blue skirt with a embroidered pattern of butterflies dancing with flowers.When Daiyu returned to the stage again, everyone couldn't help laughing deeply.Mother Jia looked at her granddaughter, who was already in good shape, and couldn't help but think of her own daughter again, and her eyes turned red.

But Tanchun Baochai and the others were all amazed at the exquisiteness of Daiyu's clothes and hair accessories, and even lamented Lin Haorui's care in everything.This time, Daiyu walked up to Princess Yunting and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Princess Yunting, for your kindness." Princess Yunting helped Daiyu up, and said with a kind smile, "Your mother and I Love is like a sister, naturally it is duty-bound. Although there is no fate with you as a mother and daughter, you will also call me aunt after God bless, I will take care of you today, and aunt wishes you all the best in your life. "

Daiyu couldn't help but cast a glance at Tianyou, then said softly with a blushing face, "Daiyu thanked Auntie!" Princess Yunting smiled and patted Daiyu's hand.Only then did Daiyu walk up to Jiamu again, and knelt down again: "Daiyu thanks my grandmother for your care!"

Mother Jia helped Daiyu up with tears in her eyes: "Good boy, get up!" Daiyu then returned to the stage. Order, Xianjiaer obedience. The brothers are here to make Jude. The yellow scorpion is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky." Then he officially put on the golden crown for Daiyu, and said in a low voice: "Your mother knows it under the spring, it must be Would be very happy."

With tears in her eyes, Daiyu returned to the private room and formally changed into the cumbersome and beautiful dark blue dress, combed the exquisite headdress, and returned to the painting screen to show it to all the guests.Tanchun said softly: "Sister Lin is really ingenious. Others and Ji are willing to wear brighter ones, but she chose a blue one." Xichun said from the side: "I think it is very good, it is very suitable for Sister Lin who is out of the world. temperament."

Daiyu knelt down facing the direction of the palace, and solemnly kowtowed.Before Lin Haorui announced the completion of the ceremony, a communication sounded outside: "The empress has arrived!"
