The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

When Lin Ruhai returned to his boat, Jia Min looked at him questioningly.Lin Ruhai casually compared the word 'two' without saying much.Jia Min nodded, indicating that he understood.Fu Shi must have been arranged to go somewhere by the second prince.

The Lin family's boat was not as fast as the official ship of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After encountering one at the Xuzhou Wharf, the fleet of the Metropolitan Procuratorate quickly entered Beijing, and the Lin family's boat continued to stop and go.Ten days later, the Lin family and their party abandoned the ship and went ashore.

Lin Zhong and his party brought large luggage, and the bodyguards of the bodyguard bureau had arrived in the capital long ago. Ever since they knew that Nanny Chen's family had betrayed the master, Lin Ruhai arranged for Zhang He and his wife to look after the house in the capital. Zhang He's family had lived in the capital for nearly two months. Year.

This day, they received the news that the master and his party had arrived in the capital. Both Lin Zhong and Zhang He brought their reliable servants, proper mother-in-law, and clever servant girls, and brought a whole motorcade to the pier to welcome the master.

The port in the capital is very busy with passengers and goods.Because there are many ships coming and going, more than one dock for berthing ships has been built.Before getting off the boat, Daiyu discussed with Lin Ruhai. In order to avoid disturbing the people, she didn't clear the venue. She just lined up to berth the boat ashore according to the rules, and the family went home first, leaving the steward to carry things.

Even in later generations, some officials who pay attention to ostentation go out, and there are police cars to clear the way, and the road is closed to give way. In ancient times, this custom was even more prevalent.Lin Ruhai, as the new Minister of the Household Department, if he pays more attention to ostentation, not to mention sealing off the entire port, or setting up a separate dock for boats to land, he will not be talked about.

But the Lin family didn't talk about such ostentation. After the big ship berthed, they didn't let the people avoid it. The female family members were helped by the maids to get on the car. Letting out of the pier so that the boat behind could enter the port, he boarded the car and left.

After getting in the car, Daiyu looked at the scenery of the capital through the window.Because the current world entered Beijing two years later than the previous world, the port is getting better and better, and two new piers have been added.The prosperity of the capital remains the same, but Daiyu's state of mind is completely different.Although they both went to the west of the city and took the same official road, Daiyu was a filial piety in her previous life, and the servants of the Rongguo Mansion who came to pick her up only brought a sedan chair and two carriages. It is Jiaomen; in this life, the family is complete, and a train team drove into Wenyuanhou's mansion.

The Marquis Mansion of Wenyuan was bestowed to the ancestors of the Lin family by the Tai | ancestors. Although the regulation is not as good as the Duke's Mansion, it is still magnificent and majestic.After the Zhulun Huagai car stopped in front of the gate of the Hou's Mansion, Daiyu took a look at the plaque and felt a little sour in her eyes.

In my previous life, as the only living daughter of the Lin family in Suzhou, I had never seen the old house of the Lin family. If it hadn't been for the Concubine Xiande visiting relatives and living in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for several years, I am afraid there would not even be a formal residence.

But Daiyu couldn't hold back her tears after all. She had shed too many tears in her previous life. Since she was a soldier in Huaguo, Daiyu has the quality of bleeding, sweating and not crying.I had enough crying in my previous life, now that I'm back, it's time for those who owed me to cry.

The family entered through Dongyi Gate, and saw that the courtyards were very clean and elegant, and the carved beams and painted buildings with peeling paint had also been refurbished.Because the master is not in the capital all the year round, no new flowers and plants have been added to the mansion, only the flowers and trees planted many years ago have been taken care of very well, especially the pines, cypresses, ginkgoes and other big trees in each courtyard, which are very lush and magnificent. The mansion in the house reflected a bit of tranquility.

The Hou's mansion is much more spacious than the official residence of Xunyan Yushi. The four members of the Lin family each have their own courtyards, and the mother and daughter of Yinglian also arranged a separate residence.Lin Ruhai and his wife did not live in Wenyuan Hall, but chose another main courtyard to live in; Daiyu and Lin You also chose courtyards to live in respectively, and both courtyards also added sweeping maids and maids.

On the first day, the family allocated the courtyard and set up the utensils. On the next day, Lin Ruhai went to the palace to face the saint. He first met Emperor Taizong and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.Another princess sent someone to invite Jia Min and Daiyu into the palace to talk.

The other princes who have already married all opened their mansions outside the palace, but the East Palace is inside the palace. The etiquette for Daiyu's mother and daughter entering the palace is quite complicated, but it is much better than the previous Yuanchun family visit.

Before Jia Min left Beijing, her imperial order was not high enough to receive a banquet in the palace, but when she was a daughter at home, she was the daughter of Duke Rong, and Jia Daishan held the real power of soldiers and horses. Jia Min entered the palace more than once, so, Jia Min Familiar with all kinds of etiquette.The mother and daughter changed their clothes, took a car to the outside of the palace gate, and handed over the sign. Naturally, a servant sent by the princess came to pick them up.

After Queen Zhong passed away, the head of Fengyi Palace was vacant. After Jia Min's mother and daughter entered the palace, there was no need to go to Fengyi Palace to pay their respects.Now the second concubine of Zhou Zhong is the assistant in charge of the sixth palace, and she ordered her to enter the palace, and she is going to pay her respects as usual.

After all, Jia Min was brought into the palace by Lin Qing, and he was accompanied by the palace people of the East Palace. Logically speaking, it was all the etiquette to go to the palace of the second concubine Zhou Zhong to pay his respects, but the second concubine Zhou Zhong would not stay with them for a long time.

The mother and daughter first arrived at the Fengzao Palace where Concubine Zhou lived. Although Concubine Zhou had a high status, the third prince under her knees had injured her leg while hunting eight years ago and was left with a chronic illness, cutting off the possibility of inheriting the throne.Xu was to make up for it. Xu felt that the status of Concubine Zhou would no longer cause trouble. Back then, Emperor Taizong promoted her to the position of Concubine Zhou and asked her to assist the Sixth Palace.Because it is meaningless for Concubine Zhou to continue to fight, so she wants to be safe in everything, and she is polite and considerate to everyone, but she is not very warm to anyone.

Seeing the big words "Fengzao Palace" on the plaque, Daiyu's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that she lived here after she became a concubine in Yuanchun in her previous life.

Jia Min's mother and daughter arrived at Fengzao Palace. After paying their respects as usual, they said a few polite words on the surface. .

Coming out of Concubine Zhou's palace, Jia Min's mother and daughter went to Changkang Palace where Concubine Zhong lived.

Little Concubine Zhong was much warmer to Jia Min's mother and daughter. Not only did she sit down without courtesy when they first met, she even held Daiyu's hand and praised her.He smiled at Jia Min and said, "I'm not considered to be less knowledgeable, but it's the first time I've seen a child as smart as Miss Lin. In the future, Mrs. Shangshu will definitely bring Miss Lin with her when she enters the palace. I'll see this child It makes people like it."

Jia Min hurriedly laughed and said, "Yu'er is not as good as my mother praised."

Little Concubine Zhong still smiled all over her face: "Why not, Miss Lin is even better than I boasted. I won't talk about it just like this. Now that I am only at this age, I can vaguely see that I will be romantic in the future. I also heard that Miss Lin has been helping Mrs. Shangshu with housework for two years. If it were another girl, she might still be naughty."

When Jia Min heard this, she didn't show it on the face, but she thought to herself: Yu'er's guess is really good, if the Ninth Prince didn't want to be a big power, and the little concubine Zhong planned for him, how could this concubine with a harem know about our family's family? housework.

Daiyu's expression was indifferent, she didn't intend to hide her ability, nor did she intend to appear too outstanding in places like the harem, so she kept quiet about everything.I am still young, so I just need to pay attention to the etiquette.

Daiyu didn't intervene, but she listened to what little Concubine Zhong said, and she probably knew what she said.Just as she was talking, the palace maid reported that the thirteenth princess had arrived.

Then Daiyu heard a series of clear and clear girlish voices coming in, saying: "Daughter heard that there are distinguished guests in the mother's palace, why don't you let me have a look." One line said that a court lady had already opened the curtain and walked into the two rooms. A bright and charming girl, followed by the palace servants.

Both Jia Min and Daiyu hurriedly stood up and saluted.

One of the two girls is wearing bright red, the other is wearing light yellow, both of them are emerald and brilliant. In addition, the two are bright in life, one has a delicate temperament, and the other has a faint arrogance in their eyebrows. They are both pleasing to the eye.But the status of the two is noble, Daiyu only glanced at them, but stopped staring.

On the other hand, the girl in the goose-yellow shirt sized Daiyu up several times. Although Daiyu didn't meet her gaze, she could feel her scrutinizing eyes.Speaking of which, Daiyu, a girl in light yellow clothes, knew her, but she was not an acquaintance.

After the nine princes of the previous life ascended the throne, the body of the Taishanghuang weakened day by day, and at the same time, the status of the honorable family who was close to the former prince also weakened.Although the Supreme Emperor spared the Prince's faction when he was Emperor Taizong, once the Supreme Emperor died, the new emperor would absolutely not tolerate these people.

At that time, the Rongguo Mansion had been reduced to a place where the little eunuchs in the Yuanchun Palace could play the autumn wind at will. Once the Shuilan County Lord of the Beijing Prince's Mansion visited, that was the only time he and Shuilan saw each other.

Daiyu didn't think much about it at the time, but within a few days, King Shuirong of Beijing sent Chang Shi to Rongguo Mansion to accept her as a concubine.

At that time, the Rongguo Mansion had already sold Tanchun to the Nan'an Palace as a foster daughter, and sent her to Xihai Yanzi for a marriage, and it was almost as if she had betrayed a cousin girl.Even though entering the Beijing Prince's Mansion would not bring much benefit to the Rongguo Mansion, the Rongguo Mansion at that time was so shallow that the Beijing Palace gave a few thousand silver and was grateful to the point.

Of course, in the end, he did not enter the Beijing Palace.A few days later, the Grand View Garden was stolen, Miaoyu was taken into captivity, and he felt disheartened and lost his will to live.Not long after, the Rongguo Mansion was raided, and the huge Grand View Garden was thrown into chaos.Only the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was not treated roughly, and a few palace maids came to persuade them softly.

Even in her previous life, Daiyu had hardly been out of the house except for practicing Qingxu, she already knew what it meant.It was a coincidence that Daiyu, who was already weak and had no ambition to live, would die if she didn't eat a few meals.

But in this life, this is the first time I see Shui Lan. Logically speaking, Shui Lan doesn't know herself, so it doesn't make sense to use such eyes to look at herself.Daiyu was curious in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface, she still maintained a moderate harmony.

The girl in the red dress exempted herself, and said: "I'm going to sit in the concubine's palace, Mrs. Shangshu and Miss Lin don't need to be polite." She sat beside the little concubine Zhong.

Shui Lan bowed to the little Concubine Zhong, then to Jia Min, and to Daiyu, with all the courtesy.

Jia Min and Dai Yu also returned the gift with due courtesy, only to hear Little Concubine Zhong laughing: "It's just our family chatting, and it's not a serious occasion, so why delay half a day to greet each other like this. Sit down quickly, Let's say a few words, Mrs. Lin is still going to the East Palace. I think the Crown Princess is waiting impatiently."

Jia Min's mother, daughter, and Shui Lan sat down, and it was only when Concubine Zhong introduced them.

Sure enough, the girl in light yellow clothes is Shui Lan, the daughter of King Jingjing, she is 14 years old this year, she reads to the Thirteen Princesses, and she goes to and from Xiaozhong Concubine's palace every day.

When Concubine Zhong made the introduction, Shui Lan kept staring at Daiyu with a puzzled expression.In fact, Daiyu is also quite puzzled, this is the first time she and Shui Lan have met in this life, but Shui Lan's reaction today always seems to be too curious about herself.

The Thirteenth Princess was very familiar with Shui Lan, so she pushed Shui Lan and said, "Why, seeing that Miss Lin is so pretty, you can't move your eyes?"

Shui Lan came back to her senses with an 'ah', and said: "Where, where." Then she smiled at Daiyu and said: "I was rude, Miss Lin, don't blame me."

Daiyu replied with a smile.

Because Jia Min's mother and daughter were invited by the Crown Princess, although they went to the little Concubine Zhong's palace to pay her respects as usual, the little Concubine Zhong didn't stay long.Seeing this embarrassing situation, she said to Jia Min: "Prince Princess is still waiting for Mrs. Shangshu. I will stay here soon. When I have time to enter the palace, I often come to sit in my palace."

Jia Min hurriedly got up to thank her, said her goodbyes, and followed the palace servants sent by Lin Qing to the East Palace.

Lin Qing had a good self-cultivation, but she still waited a little anxiously. He heard the reply from the palace man that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Accounting had arrived, so please come in.

Although she is a direct aunt, there is a difference between the emperor and his ministers, and it was the first time seeing her, so Daiyu kowtowed to Lin Qing.After Lin Qing received the gift, she hurriedly ordered the maid to help Daiyu to sit beside her, and Daiyu raised her head to look at this real aunt whom she had never met in her previous life.

Lin Qing took good care of herself. Although she was over [-] years old, she looked close to [-] years old, her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Lin Ruhai's, her skin was snow-like, and her eyes were particularly lively.But in the end it was the crown princess, Daiyu quickly looked away, and the word 'really beautiful' flashed in her mind.

A real beauty doesn't need to look closely at her facial features, but spends her time finding out where she looks good.For a real beauty, just one glance will make people feel good-looking and enjoyable.

After seeing the ceremony, Lin Qingci sat down, pulled Daiyu to sit beside him, and said: "That year was like being released overseas. I was always worried that you would be made things difficult for those who were unfamiliar with the place. Half a year later, I received a letter from Ruhai saying that you are pregnant, so I am so happy for you. Now that you have been away for nearly ten years, you can be regarded as returning to Beijing." He took Daiyu's hand and said: "This is Yu'er, it's the first time I've seen you at this age."

Jia Min responded with a smile, and said: "This is the first child of my wife, whose baby name is Daiyu." After a short pause, he said: "Our master and I often miss your mother, although we are far away, we always hope that the prince Your Highness and Your Majesty are all well."

Lin Qing said with a smile: "Now that you are transferred back to Beijing, it will be easier for you to meet in the future. This tea is a new spring tea this year. How about you try it?" Turning the topic to homework, the sadness of separation fades Quite a lot.

Turning the subject around, Lin Qing stared at Daiyu again, and said with a smile: "Yu'er's eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Ruhai's when she was a child, because she watched Ruhai grow up, and later I met other children, and I always thought it was normal, until Seeing Yu'er made me feel good at the first sight. Why didn't you bring Brother Yu along with you?"

"Brother Yu is still young, mischievous and unruly. The court lady is worried that he will be brought into a collision. She has to be older to take him around. Yu'er is steady. Don't look at her young age. In the past year, it's all about Yu'er taking care of my worries, so that my body won't collapse." Even if she was an aunt, Jia Min still wanted to be cautious when speaking in the palace.

Speaking of Jia Min's illness, the Crown Princess said: "Two years ago, Ru Haixin said that you were not in good health, but now you look good. I don't know what is the illness? Tomorrow, I will call an imperial doctor to show you. "

After dismissing the palace people again, Lin Qing put away his professional smile and said solemnly: "In the past two years, you have also worked hard in the south of the Yangtze River. What happened when Brother Yu fell into the water? I just glanced at the letter like the sea. Heart beating."

Jia Min also turned cold, and said: "The mastermind is a scholar named Fu Shi, and he has not been arrested yet. But on the way to Beijing, we met the fleet escorting Zhen's family in Xuzhou. The master tried Zhen Yingjia, and Fu Shi was There is no doubt who he sent."

Lin Qing looked cold, and said: "Wolf ambition! In the past two years, you have dodged many open and hidden arrows in the south of the Yangtze River. Now that the atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River has cleared up, you have finally made it through."

Jia Min smiled and said, "We are fine in Jiangnan. His Royal Highness and the empress have also gone through a lot of calculations. If it is difficult, the empress will only be more difficult than us."

"Naturally, calculations are indispensable. Fortunately, Ruhai reminded me in time, and His Royal Highness was willing to listen to my advice. After checking all the cronies who had been with me for more than 20 years, I caught the inner thief. The conspiracy in Iron Net Mountain, after all, , or Ruhai resolved it for us." Speaking of the old case of Iron Net Mountain, Lin Qing felt lingering fear.

Jia Min glanced at Daiyu with a gentle look: "Your Majesty may not know that it was Yu'er's idea to send someone to give the Mid-Autumn Festival gift in advance."

Lin Qing knew that Lin You was rescued by Daiyu, and Lin Ruhai had said it in his letter, but Lin Ruhai and Donggong never took the initiative to mention Iron Net Mountain in their correspondence.Lin Qing knew that it was Daiyu's idea that her brother gave her such a crucial reminder, so she couldn't help being surprised, and said: "Is it because of Yu'er that our family escaped the terrible disaster?" After a pause, he reminded again : "With Yu'er's ability, you and Ru Hai must not be heretics anymore, so as not to cause trouble for Yu'er."

Jia Min smiled and should know.

The two of them talked about homework again, and Lin Qing told Jia Min all the things that Lin Ruhai needed to be careful about after he took office, which made Jia Min feel terrified.

It was almost noon after I finished my important instructions.Lin Qing kept Jia Min's mother and daughter to eat in the East Palace, and then ordered the palace staff to make a bag of Mingqian tea that was newly purchased this year, and gave each of the four members of the Lin family a few horses of fresh ingredients, and gave them to Daiyu. A pair of ruby ​​heads, Lin You a set of four treasures of the study as gifts, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min also have calligraphy, paintings, jade pendants, etc., so they ordered Jia Min's mother and daughter to be sent out of the palace.

When Jia Min returned home, Lin Ruhai also returned home.

Speaking of today's events, Daiyu pondered for a while, and asked Jia Min: "I don't know if my mother paid attention today, but I always feel that the attitude of Shuilan County Lord towards me is quite strange."

Speaking of this, Jia Min also remembered, "That's right, today we were invited by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace, although it is reasonable to go to the Changkang Palace to pay my respects, but it's just for her sake of assisting the Sixth Palace, to exchange a few pleasantries. The strange thing is that this time, Concubine Zhong left me to talk for quite a long time. Later, when Princess Thirteen and Shui Lan came, the Lord Shui Lan always stared at Yu'er. .”

Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, and said: "Little Concubine Zhong left you to talk, maybe she wanted to test our family's attitude. But Shui Lan stared at Yu'er, so I couldn't figure it out."

But Daiyu interrupted suddenly: "If someone inquires about my marriage in the future, my parents will push them away."

At Daiyu's age, people are usually ashamed to talk about marriage, but in front of her parents, Daiyu never shy away from these things.Eight years old is a little young, but in the current social environment, it is not surprising to be targeted. Since Daiyu thought of it, she reminded her parents first, so that they can be prepared.

Because their daughter is still young, Lin Ruhai and his wife want to keep their beloved daughter for a few more years, so naturally they don't think about it.Now that Daiyu mentioned it, the husband and wife thought about it, and felt that their daughter's concerns were justified.

Jia Min said: "That's right, why didn't I think about it? No wonder little Concubine Zhong kept praising Yu'er when she saw us today, and even asked Yu'er's age and preferences. If it is really testing our family's attitude, it seems He didn't mention the master, nor did he mention the affairs of the court."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but frowned and said, "The Ninth Prince is [-] this year, and he's already married. Concubine Zhong asks what Yu'er is doing?" Because Daiyu is the first child the couple have been looking forward to for more than ten years, The two loved each other very much; later, Daiyu not only saved the younger brother, but even saved the family, Lin Ruhai and his wife's love for Daiyu continued unabated.No matter what the other party's status was, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear Daiyu to be his concubine.It's the prince's side concubine, isn't she also a concubine?

Jia Min shook his head and said, "It's not about the age, it's about the status. The prince usually chooses a side concubine from the family of a fourth or fifth rank official. There is absolutely no reason to choose Yu'er. If the little Concubine Zhong really beats her, it is for Yuer's sake." My dear idea, isn't it for someone else to see each other?"

Lin Ruhai also felt that his wife's words were reasonable, and said: "In the future, I will pay attention to the young children who have close contacts with the Ninth Prince's Mansion. If someone mentions this matter to Madam, Madam will just push it away. But the Shuilan County Lord, Madam and Yu'er Everyone said that Jian Yuer's expression was wrong, could it be that she knew the truth?"

Daiyu shook her head: "I see that the thirteenth princess sees me with a frank and innocent look, and it doesn't seem to be different. If little concubine Zhong has any plans, it doesn't make sense to tell Shui Lan without telling the thirteenth princess. Shui Lan uses such Look at me, probably something else. But it doesn’t matter, Shui Lan is only a young girl, so there shouldn’t be any serious threat, I’ll just pay more attention in the future.”

Because they couldn't figure out what the little concubine Zhong and Shui Lan were up to, the family discussed the matter a little bit, and then exposed the matter.With Lin Ruhai's status and status, it is necessary to shoot openly and secretly, and the Lin family will not be in a mess because of catching wind and shadow.
