The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 50 On this matter, the prince...
On this issue, the prince is very persuasive, and I don't know what Jia Jing and Lin Ruhai told the prince. In short, the prince did not express his opinion on the official position of Jingying Jiedushi.When Emperor Taizong asked, the prince analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of several candidates, and then said that it made sense to choose anyone.
This is the difficult part of being a prince. He obviously doesn't want to get involved, but he can't just say that all his ministers listen to his father.You have been the crown prince for so long, it is not okay to have no opinions at all, even if Emperor Taizong doesn't say anything, people will criticize you.
Of course, the prince does not need to be taught everything, that is to say, when he saw that the important position of Jingying Jiedushi must be vacated, he was a little confused by the authorities. After being persuaded, the prince himself handled it properly.In short, it didn't make Taizong feel that the Ningrong Second House had ulterior motives for divorcing his wife, repaying the money, and suing the in-laws before the imperial court.
The crown prince did not show any attitude of coveting the envoy of the Jingying Jiedu. Sure enough, Taizong felt that the Second Ningrong Mansion and the Minister of the Household Department had made great contributions.It not only clarified the decades-old bad debts of the Ministry of Households, but also greatly filled the treasury.The national treasury was empty before, and it was so empty that a Jiangnan Zhen family was searched, so it took a big breath of relief.Clearing up the outstanding debts this time has completely slowed down the household department.
The household department has made great contributions, but Lin Ruhai has just been promoted to Shangshu, and there is nothing to be promoted except for rewarding some Ruyi items.On the contrary, Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty took the lead in repaying the money, which set an example and should be rewarded.
Forget about Jia Amnesty, he will not cause trouble in this life, just be a rich and idle person. As for Jia Jing, he has been serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War for many years. Jia Daihua had served as the military governor of the Beijing camp, and had many old ministries in the Beijing camp.Now that the capital camp has opened the city gate without authorization, the entire Beijing camp is conducting self-examination, and it is a bit chaotic. It is just right to send Jia Jing to take charge of the work.
Therefore, before Wang Ziteng's case was fully settled, Jia Jing was transferred by Emperor Taizong to act as the Jingying Jiedu envoy.
It is said that it is a temporary generation, and everyone in the court knows what it means.Not only did he know, but he also thought too much. Everyone in the court felt that Emperor Taizong had made up his mind to transfer power to the East Palace.Some vacillating officials stopped thinking.The crown prince is sure of everything, so why bother?
It is of course too late for officials who were not of the prince's line to seek refuge with the prince, but it is too risky to bet on the achievements of other princes to fight for the dragon, so it is better to seek stability.As a result, the resistance for the Ninth Prince to secretly buy power has increased a lot.
Everything in the East Palace went well, and Daiyu felt relaxed.After Jia Jing temporarily acted as the envoy of the Beijing Camp, Daiyu saw that it was rare for her to be free, so she proposed to go for a stroll.
After talking to Jia Min, Jia Min objected: "We haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and we don't know the customs of the capital now. If the girls in the capital don't go out often, our girls go shopping in the streets, fearing that people will say Mouth."
But among the three daughters of the Lin family, Su Lan used to be a well-rounded lady, but she had practiced with her hair, and experienced ups and downs, so she was quite free and easy; the daughter of a squire, Yinglian, was once trafficked and had seen the real bottom life in the market; On the surface, Daiyu looks normal, but this is a person who has experienced in military camps in modern society.That is to say, among the three golden flowers of the Lin family, none of them took it as an iron law to leave the gate and never step forward.
Daiyu smiled and said, "Girls are not allowed to go out anywhere. I asked Xiangyu's sister, and Xiangyu said that she had been out before. It's not like there are no girls on the street. Besides, I have already made clothes, men's clothes with narrow sleeves , my sisters and I will change, and bring more people, I think it will be fine. Nowadays, there are so many unique calligraphy and paintings in antique shops, I want to go out and see if I can buy some good ones."
After hearing this, Jia Min shook her head and said, "If you change into men's clothing, I'm always worried that you will go out without sisters. If your brother is older, it would be good to have him with you. Wait until tomorrow when your father Xiu Mu , let him take you there."
After hearing this, Daiyu had no choice but to give up, and suddenly became curious, and asked, "Has mother ever been to the street?"
Jia Min laughed, "Not only did I go to the streets, but I also rode horses and hunted. But at that time, your uncle was with me, so it didn't matter."
Daiyu has already understood that this society is not so strict that girls are really not allowed to go out, and being caught by others can ruin their reputation.It's just that girls need to be accompanied by their father and brother when they go out, and they can't meet boys alone without others.
The more noble the girl is, the more opportunities she has to go out and meet the world.Just like Jia Min, as the daughter of the Duke of the state, not only went out, but also participated in the hunting of Iron Net Mountain.Of course, when girls go to the paddock, it’s not like young men trying their best to show off their skills and wait to show their talents; but no one will say that girls are not chaste after going to the paddock.
There was only one boy in the Lin family, and Lin You was young, so it was too late to take the sisters out to the streets, so Jia Min didn't let Daiyu out.When Lin Ruhai takes a rest, if he is interested, Jia Min will not prevent his daughters from seeing life in the market.
Two days later, Lin Ruhai took a rest, and after eating the night before, Jia Min told Lin Ruhai about it.Lin Ruhai heard that the daughters were in high spirits, and said with a smile: "Since we are going out for a stroll, Min'er and Brother You are also going. Our family is going to take a break, and now there are some people who have sold their collections for many years in antique shops. Let's go and see Let's see if we can find something good."
Daiyu said: "I have already posted a message to sister Xiangyu, but sister Xiangyu also went. Mrs. Liu has already agreed."
Jia Min seldom went out since recuperating from his illness, but now he is much better and full of energy, so he smiled and said, "That's good. I just don't know if Yu'er will prepare men's clothes for me." Since the daughters all prepare After wearing men's clothing, Jia Min also became temperamental, not to mention that on the street, men's clothing with narrow sleeves is more neat and convenient.
Daiyu has long felt that it is not worthwhile for a woman to be bored at home all her life. Originally, she planned for her sisters to go out for a stroll occasionally, and in a few days later, she would persuade Jia Min to go out together. Therefore, Daiyu also followed Jia Min's instructions. Men's clothing is prepared for the figure.
Daiyu nodded and smiled, "I've prepared it for a long time, and I'll have someone bring it over later for my mother to try to see if it fits."
No matter how feudal etiquette restricts people, it is human nature to yearn for freedom after all. When they learned that they would go to the streets the next day, the female family members of the Lin family were all very interested.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Liu sent someone to bring the Xiangyu, and Jia Min, mother and daughter also changed into men's clothes.Xiangyu is not bad, because she practiced martial arts with Liu Xing, and she is used to wearing neat bunts; Daiyu loves the military uniform of later generations.It was Su Lan and Yinglian who were wearing men's clothes for the first time. They were a little uncomfortable and laughed when they saw each other.
Su Lan said: "I saw Xiang Yu's younger sister wearing such clothes, she looks heroic, which is enviable. But I can't hide my powdery air in men's clothes. Even though Yu'er is still a little childish, wearing such clothes is still a shame. People feel heroic."
After hearing this, Yinglian agreed, but after all she thought she looked like a girl in men's clothing.In particular, Yinglian had a rouge mole between her eyebrows, and she couldn't hide her coquettishness with such a dress.
Daiyu laughed and said, "We're going shopping, not singing, so it's better to look like it? The street is not as clean and tidy as the house. Wearing big clothes is easy to dirty the skirt. Such clothes are neat and cheap. Don't worry about anyone seeing us as girls."
After hearing this, Su Lan touched Daiyu's forehead and said, "They all eat the same rice. I don't know how to raise such a delicate heart as Yu'er. Before Yu'er was going to make men's clothes, I just thought it was Yu'er." I am playful, but I don’t think there are so many thoughtful things behind it.”
Yinglian interjected: "Isn't it? Yu'er said she was my younger sister, but I always respect her as a teacher. If you don't understand something, just ask Yu'er, you won't make a mistake."
Daiyu said: "My sisters are not up to date, they are all joking about me."
Xiangyu said again: "Why are you joking? My mother also told me that I should learn more from Yu'er. I only worry about not having the opportunity to learn from a teacher." Su Lan and Yinglian laughed even more.
Although she was being teased, Daiyu knew that the sisters were all kind, and that the previous life was too bitter, so she loved the simple and cheerful atmosphere very much.
Lin Ruhai and his wife came out of the house and saw some girls in the yard. Jia Min said to her husband, "The daughters get along well, and they get along well with Xiangyu."
Lin Ruhai also laughed, "It's always good to see the daughters are in harmony."
The sisters chatted and laughed, and set off on their bikes. Jia Min and Lin You rode together, Dai Yu and the sisters rode together, and the maidservants in the back rode several cars, and only Lin Ruhai rode a horse.The east of the capital is rich and the west is expensive. Many shops are located in the east of the city, and many houses of nobles are in the west of the city. If you want to visit antique shops, you have to start early in the morning.
It is rare to go out once, and there is a very famous dim sum shop in the east of the city, so Daiyu made an exception and did not arrange nutritious meals at home.Over the past two years, she has already verified the excellent health preservation techniques recorded in "Liu's Miscellaneous Notes", and Daiyu said that she would rather eat fresh and nutritious dishes every day, which are clean and nutritious.But it's rare to go out once, and it's great to taste the delicious food outside.
Although it was very early in the morning, the streets were already full of people coming and going.The sisters all looked out through the screen window, but they saw the same scenery, but they were in different moods.
For example, Su Lan is from a family background. After an accident at home, she practiced in Panxiang Temple, and she only traveled far away once to Beijing with Liu Langzhong.At that time, Su Lan was burdened with a family feud, and every step she took was like walking on thin ice, so she couldn't be in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside the window.Although the current market scene is noisy, it is also full of vitality. Su Lan only feels that when people are in a good mood, such a noisy market scene is also lively.
Yinglian has gone through ups and downs, and has long imagined countless dark endings. Now she is blessed to be the adopted daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.There is only infinite gratitude in Yinglian's heart.With a grateful heart, everything is beautiful.
On the other hand, Xiangyu, although not a descendant of an official, is also a member of the Duke's family, and has a direct uncle who is an official. The Liu family has a lot of money and is loved by his parents. He has lived in happiness since he was a child, and he only feels that everything is fresh and interesting.
It's the second time for Daiyu to live. In her previous life, apart from entering Beijing twice, she only went out of the Qingxu Temple once, and in her previous life, she was fond of cleanliness, so she didn't take a close look at the scenery in the city.Traveling to later generations, Daiyu has broadened her horizons and increased her knowledge, especially Daiyu's class concept has faded a lot, and now she prefers to look at a person's character rather than class.
Seeing the scene of the market and thinking of class, Daiyu suddenly thought of Grandma Liu in her previous life, and couldn't help smiling.Why didn't I eat minced meat in my previous life? Seeing Grandma Liu pretending to be ugly to please my grandmother and others, I felt that she was not decent enough, and even satirized Grandma Liu.
Now that she has gained knowledge and accepted new viewpoints, Daiyu thinks that Grandma Liu is a good person, she knows how to repay her kindness, and she is also a person who knows current affairs, so she can bow her head.If I meet Grandma Liu in this life, I will definitely not make fun of her again.I have seen too many wolf-hearted people. Although Grandma Liu is a marketable person, she has a conscience, but she is cute.
It's just that now the Wang family has fallen, and I don't know where Grandma Liu will go for help when she encounters difficulties in her family.
Walking and watching, I didn't feel how long it took before I arrived at Dongcheng.
The Lin family motorcade drove to a street, and smelling the delicious food, Daiyu knew that she had arrived at a street lined with restaurants in Dongcheng.I saw Lin Ruhai stopped in front of a restaurant, handed over the horse to the boy, and then helped Jia Min get off the carriage.
The first few girls were in their youth and vigor, and they wore such comfortable and convenient clothes, so they didn't need anyone to help them, and they stepped down on the car stool one by one.
This street is full of high-end restaurants, just like the food street of later generations.There are also girls on the street, who seem to be from wealthy families, but they come and go freely, and the social atmosphere is not so closed.
Lin Ruhai pointed to the plaque of a restaurant and said, "How about we have breakfast here?" Then he asked his children, "Do you know any stories about this restaurant?" After speaking, he glanced narrowly at Jia Min.Jia Min also pursed her lips and smiled.
Daiyu looked up, and saw a plaque hanging on the gate of this restaurant, with three big gilt characters "Desheng Building" written on it.Seeing the way his father looked at his mother just now, he knew something in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Su Lan is so meticulous and intelligent. Seeing the expressions of her adoptive father and adoptive mother, and also seeing Daiyu's reaction, she vaguely guessed it. She still didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and smiled.
Yinglian and Xiangyu were more delicate and naive. Seeing Daiyu and Su Lan, they seemed to know each other clearly, but they refused to speak. Xiangyu pestered Jia Min directly: "Aunt Lin, they don't want to say anything. You just talk to them." We agreed."
Lin Ruhai said: "You all got up early and are not hungry yet, let's go inside first, and it won't be too late when the food is served."
The mistresses who can make a living on this street are also smart.When I saw the Lin family parked before, I wanted to go up to them, and seeing the Lin family talking, the waiter waited on me.At the moment when Lin Ruhai spoke, the shop waiter hastily came up to greet him, and said, "Please come upstairs, guest officer, we have a very clean private seat upstairs, so we won't offend the ladies and ladies."
Xiao Er greeted the Lin family upstairs, and at the same time said the origin of the restaurant's name: "It's always good for guest officials to eat in our restaurant. At that time, Emperor Tai|Zu had not yet entered Beijing, and Emperor Tai|Zu The vanguard general Rong Guogong invaded the capital first, and we hosted the first celebration banquet here. At that time, the old club changed the restaurant into Deshenglou. Don't worry, the guest officer, although the name has changed, the taste has not changed. Back then, the Duke also praised our food as delicious."
A group of people went upstairs, and indeed there was a partitioned private room that was very clean and lighted with elegant incense.
The waiter also followed in, poured tea for everyone, and handed the menu to Lin Ruhai, still praising his restaurant and adding gold to the restaurant's history: "I don't know objectively, now decades have passed, honor The Duke’s son-in-law is the Minister of the Household Department who was promoted not long ago. It is said that this Lord Minister is stern and selfless, and has copied the homes of many corrupt officials.”
The front is fine, Lin Ruhai's expression changed when he heard this.Whose house did I copy?
Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai narrowly and blinked.
The children of the Lin family also laughed.However, the Lin family is not a flamboyant family. Not only did the children not show arrogance on their faces, but even the maids they brought didn't interrupt.
Only Lin Ruhai said indifferently: "Nonsense, how can the Minister of the Ministry of Housing confiscate someone's house? The house raid must be investigated by the Ministry of Punishment according to the law, and has nothing to do with the Minister of the Ministry of Housing."
The second child still said to himself: "Why not? It is said that Mr. Lin was the first to raid the Jingying Jiedu envoy Wang's family when he took office."
Well, the Wang family was indeed ransacked, and it's good that Lin Ruhai participated in the planning, but it can't be said that Lin Ruhai directly copied the Wang family?So Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Perhaps it's rumors spread in the market, that's all, let's serve your signature dishes here first, I don't need anyone to wait here."
The waiter took the menu and should have gone, Jia Min burst out laughing.Then all the little ones in the room and the maid who came with them laughed.
It didn't take long for the dishes to be served, one small bowl and one small plate, which naturally looked good and tasted good, but one bowl couldn't eat two mouthfuls.It seems that the business of this Desheng building is good, apart from having an allusion and a name with a good meaning, it is also because of its good craftsmanship.
In the previous life, Daiyu would be full after eating just one or two dishes, but in this life, she can try all kinds of dishes, there are dozens of them in total, and one must have a good appetite to taste all of them.Lin You, Su Lan, and Ying Lian felt full before they tasted some dishes.But Xiangyu and Daiyu, Xiangyu has practiced martial arts since childhood, and Daiyu has also started to practice fighting, and her appetite is bigger than ordinary girls.
On the contrary, Jia Min put down the chopsticks early, and said with a smile: "Hey, Yu'er has such an appetite, and I don't know where he puts his things for such a small person?"
Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "It's good to have a better appetite. I see that Yu'er has become stronger in recent years. If not, let's invite a master of riding and archery, so that all the children can follow suit. In the past few years, I have been released. If we are slack in the place, even I have to pick up the horse and shooter."
In terms of locality, as long as you click on time, you can go back to the capital to work. When you go to the Great Court Meeting, you will often go to Donghuamen at Yinshi. no.Among the six arts of a gentleman, there is riding and shooting. Lin Ruhai also learned it before, but after being released to the outside world, he left it behind.
Of course, I came here for shopping today, so these words were just casually said, so I put them aside for the time being.After paying the bills, the carriages and horses were stored in the Desheng Building, and the group strolled on foot.
Girls seldom go out, everything they see is novelty, and they want to visit all kinds of shops.He stopped and walked, walked for a street, and finally arrived at the very famous Wenwan Street in Dongcheng.
During this period of time, there were quite a few families raising money, but some good things were also lost, and the whole family reaped a lot.I packed the things and ordered someone to put them in the car first, and the family continued to wander around.
Before he had gone far, he saw a young man dressed in fine clothes, leading a large group of servants, walking at a pace that his relatives did not recognize, looking around and walking without looking at the road, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
Then, the young master saw the Lin family's group, and focused his eyes on Yinglian's group. After that, his eyes lit up; he stared at Yinglian for a while, and then looked back and forth at the girls of the Lin family. There was a bit of shock in the frivolous eyes.
Daiyu recognized this person, but he was an acquaintance in previous life, he had a relationship with Xue Baochai's brother, the overlord Xue Pan.The Xue family came to Beijing a few years earlier in this life, and the head of the Xue family is still alive, so Xue Pan wouldn't do such a thing as fighting to buy Yinglian and killing people.Unexpectedly, Yinglian seldom goes out, and when she goes out, she meets this idiot again.
The members of the Lin family, no matter their clothes or demeanor, looked like they were people of status. Although Xue Pan was almost drooling at the sight, he didn't dare to step forward abruptly.It's just that his eyes are quite abrupt.
In fact, Xue Pan was not only shocked by Yinglian's beauty alone, but all the members of the Lin family had outstanding looks and were pleasing to the eye.Secretly said: This family does not know where they came from, how did they raise so many handsome young men, and took a closer look, only to see that Yinglian was dressed in men's clothes, but she was soft and coquettish, with a little rouge between her eyebrows, so she recognized this line of clothing. The boy in men's clothes was originally a girl.
Lin Ruhai coughed, and stood in front of Daiyu.
Xue Pan was only looking at people, but was suddenly blocked by someone. He still opened his mouth and took two steps forward in a daze. When he stumbled and was blocked by something, Xue Pan fell forward.On the contrary, Xue's servants saw the opportunity quickly and supported him, so that he didn't fall into a shit.
Only then did Xue Pan regain his senses, and recognized Lin Ruhai.Before the Lin family held a banquet, Patriarch Xue came to pay a visit because he was on an errand in the household department.At that time, Xue Pan did not enter the back house and did not know the girls of the Lin family, but in the front hall, he and his father met Master Shangshu.
Xue Pan recognized Lin Ruhai all of a sudden, he was taken aback, and didn't dare to do anything wrong; he turned around to see what was stumbling him.But I saw a pair of baskets on the ground, which were filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. I think they were harvested by a nearby farmer's family and exchanged for some money on the street.
Can't you treat Mr. Shangshu? Can't you vent your anger on the small family?Xue Pan kicked the basket on the ground, gritted his teeth in pain, and said to the evil servant behind him: "Let the stall be overthrown by the young master!"
The vegetable basket belonged to an old woman, but it was actually placed on the sidelines, and she didn’t dare to occupy the road to manage it. Besides, Xue Pan bumped into it because she couldn’t walk without long eyes. The rich and expensive young master's clothes were also quite frightened, and hurriedly bowed to apologize.As for the old woman with the two or three-year-old child, she hid behind the old woman in fright, tugged at the hem of the old woman's clothes, and began to cry.
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai hurriedly stopped and said, "Stop!"
Perhaps the young master of the Xue family was used to being domineering, and the servants of the Xue family were also very flamboyant. He didn't know Lin Ruhai's identity, so he ignored the old woman's plea, and overturned a basket, with fruits and vegetables rolled all over the ground.The child even cried loudly.
Seeing Lin Ruhai stop him, Xue Pan personally stopped the servant, Xue Jiahao's slave stopped, and the old woman's other basket was spared.
When the old woman begged for mercy, Daiyu had already recognized her as Grandma Liu who was desperate in her previous life and went to Rongguo Mansion for help.When she first went to the street today, Daiyu still thought of Grandma Liu, and unexpectedly met her on the street.
So Daiyu said to the two young men: "Go and help her, just say that we have bought all her vegetables." The young men should have gone, and just about to stretch out their hands, a man who looked like a guard came over on a tall horse, He stopped in front of the old woman and got off the horse.
Just now a very domineering young man was stopped by a very respectable old man, and now another official came, and the old woman bowed again and again in fright, saying: "Master official, forgive me, I will leave now." "The child behind the old woman was only two or three years old. Seeing the battle, he became more and more frightened and hid behind the old woman, tightly holding on to the corner of the old woman's clothes, crying profusely, but clenched his teeth. Dare to speak up.
Seeing that the girl was only two or three years old, she was probably Grandma Liu's granddaughter Qing'er.As for Ban'er, he should have been born in the next year or two.
Since the old man had ordered to help the old woman, the young servant of the Lin family saluted the guard and said: "This official, can you be a little more accommodating, I will take this old man away, and I will definitely not offend the nobleman." Grandma Liu said: "Don't be afraid, old man." At the same time, she reached out to help the old woman carry the vegetable basket.
The waiter was tall and mighty, but his tone was kind, he said: "What is this little brother talking about? Our young prince told the old mother to send all the vegetables to Ruijun Prince's Mansion, and our Prince's Mansion bought them all. "It turns out that this guard, like the young servant of the Lin family, was ordered to help the old woman.
Only the guard claimed to send the things to Ruijun Wang's mansion, could it be that the Ruijun king couldn't pass by?But if it is the King of Ruijun, the guards will definitely call us the prince, not our little prince.So who is this little prince who is going to buy vegetables and send them to Ruijun Palace?
On the contrary, Xue Pan was already stupefied with fright, meeting a Lord Shangshu was not enough, why is there another young prince?Today, apart from seeing a few beauties to feast my eyes, everything is not going well.
This is the difficult part of being a prince. He obviously doesn't want to get involved, but he can't just say that all his ministers listen to his father.You have been the crown prince for so long, it is not okay to have no opinions at all, even if Emperor Taizong doesn't say anything, people will criticize you.
Of course, the prince does not need to be taught everything, that is to say, when he saw that the important position of Jingying Jiedushi must be vacated, he was a little confused by the authorities. After being persuaded, the prince himself handled it properly.In short, it didn't make Taizong feel that the Ningrong Second House had ulterior motives for divorcing his wife, repaying the money, and suing the in-laws before the imperial court.
The crown prince did not show any attitude of coveting the envoy of the Jingying Jiedu. Sure enough, Taizong felt that the Second Ningrong Mansion and the Minister of the Household Department had made great contributions.It not only clarified the decades-old bad debts of the Ministry of Households, but also greatly filled the treasury.The national treasury was empty before, and it was so empty that a Jiangnan Zhen family was searched, so it took a big breath of relief.Clearing up the outstanding debts this time has completely slowed down the household department.
The household department has made great contributions, but Lin Ruhai has just been promoted to Shangshu, and there is nothing to be promoted except for rewarding some Ruyi items.On the contrary, Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty took the lead in repaying the money, which set an example and should be rewarded.
Forget about Jia Amnesty, he will not cause trouble in this life, just be a rich and idle person. As for Jia Jing, he has been serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War for many years. Jia Daihua had served as the military governor of the Beijing camp, and had many old ministries in the Beijing camp.Now that the capital camp has opened the city gate without authorization, the entire Beijing camp is conducting self-examination, and it is a bit chaotic.

It is of course too late for officials who were not of the prince's line to seek refuge with the prince, but it is too risky to bet on the achievements of other princes to fight for the dragon, so it is better to seek stability.As a result, the resistance for the Ninth Prince to secretly buy power has increased a lot.
Everything in the East Palace went well, and Daiyu felt relaxed.After Jia Jing temporarily acted as the envoy of the Beijing Camp, Daiyu saw that it was rare for her to be free, so she proposed to go for a stroll.
After talking to Jia Min, Jia Min objected: "We haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and we don't know the customs of the capital now. If the girls in the capital don't go out often, our girls go shopping in the streets, fearing that people will say Mouth."
But among the three daughters of the Lin family, Su Lan used to be a well-rounded lady, but she had practiced with her hair, and experienced ups and downs, so she was quite free and easy; the daughter of a squire, Yinglian, was once trafficked and had seen the real bottom life in the market; On the surface, Daiyu looks normal, but this is a person who has experienced in military camps in modern society.That is to say, among the three golden flowers of the Lin family, none of them took it as an iron law to leave the gate and never step forward.
Daiyu smiled and said, "Girls are not allowed to go out anywhere. I asked Xiangyu's sister, and Xiangyu said that she had been out before. It's not like there are no girls on the street. Besides, I have already made clothes, men's clothes with narrow sleeves , my sisters and I will change, and bring more people, I think it will be fine. Nowadays, there are so many unique calligraphy and paintings in antique shops, I want to go out and see if I can buy some good ones."
After hearing this, Jia Min shook her head and said, "If you change into men's clothing, I'm always worried that you will go out without sisters. If your brother is older, it would be good to have him with you. Wait until tomorrow when your father Xiu Mu , let him take you there."
After hearing this, Daiyu had no choice but to give up, and suddenly became curious, and asked, "Has mother ever been to the street?"
Jia Min laughed, "Not only did I go to the streets, but I also rode horses and hunted. But at that time, your uncle was with me, so it didn't matter."
Daiyu has already understood that this society is not so strict that girls are really not allowed to go out, and being caught by others can ruin their reputation.It's just that girls need to be accompanied by their father and brother when they go out, and they can't meet boys alone without others.
The more noble the girl is, the more opportunities she has to go out and meet the world.Just like Jia Min, as the daughter of the Duke of the state, not only went out, but also participated in the hunting of Iron Net Mountain.Of course, when girls go to the paddock, it’s not like young men trying their best to show off their skills and wait to show their talents; but no one will say that girls are not chaste after going to the paddock.
There was only one boy in the Lin family, and Lin You was young, so it was too late to take the sisters out to the streets, so Jia Min didn't let Daiyu out.When Lin Ruhai takes a rest, if he is interested, Jia Min will not prevent his daughters from seeing life in the market.
Two days later, Lin Ruhai took a rest, and after eating the night before, Jia Min told Lin Ruhai about it.Lin Ruhai heard that the daughters were in high spirits, and said with a smile: "Since we are going out for a stroll, Min'er and Brother You are also going. Our family is going to take a break, and now there are some people who have sold their collections for many years in antique shops. Let's go and see Let's see if we can find something good."
Daiyu said: "I have already posted a message to sister Xiangyu, but sister Xiangyu also went. Mrs. Liu has already agreed."
Jia Min seldom went out since recuperating from his illness, but now he is much better and full of energy, so he smiled and said, "That's good. I just don't know if Yu'er will prepare men's clothes for me." Since the daughters all prepare After wearing men's clothing, Jia Min also became temperamental, not to mention that on the street, men's clothing with narrow sleeves is more neat and convenient.
Daiyu has long felt that it is not worthwhile for a woman to be bored at home all her life. Originally, she planned for her sisters to go out for a stroll occasionally, and in a few days later, she would persuade Jia Min to go out together. Therefore, Daiyu also followed Jia Min's instructions. Men's clothing is prepared for the figure.
Daiyu nodded and smiled, "I've prepared it for a long time, and I'll have someone bring it over later for my mother to try to see if it fits."
No matter how feudal etiquette restricts people, it is human nature to yearn for freedom after all. When they learned that they would go to the streets the next day, the female family members of the Lin family were all very interested.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Liu sent someone to bring the Xiangyu, and Jia Min, mother and daughter also changed into men's clothes.Xiangyu is not bad, because she practiced martial arts with Liu Xing, and she is used to wearing neat bunts; Daiyu loves the military uniform of later generations.It was Su Lan and Yinglian who were wearing men's clothes for the first time. They were a little uncomfortable and laughed when they saw each other.
Su Lan said: "I saw Xiang Yu's younger sister wearing such clothes, she looks heroic, which is enviable. But I can't hide my powdery air in men's clothes. Even though Yu'er is still a little childish, wearing such clothes is still a shame. People feel heroic."
After hearing this, Yinglian agreed, but after all she thought she looked like a girl in men's clothing.In particular, Yinglian had a rouge mole between her eyebrows, and she couldn't hide her coquettishness with such a dress.
Daiyu laughed and said, "We're going shopping, not singing, so it's better to look like it? The street is not as clean and tidy as the house. Wearing big clothes is easy to dirty the skirt. Such clothes are neat and cheap. Don't worry about anyone seeing us as girls."
After hearing this, Su Lan touched Daiyu's forehead and said, "They all eat the same rice. I don't know how to raise such a delicate heart as Yu'er. Before Yu'er was going to make men's clothes, I just thought it was Yu'er." I am playful, but I don’t think there are so many thoughtful things behind it.”
Yinglian interjected: "Isn't it? Yu'er said she was my younger sister, but I always respect her as a teacher. If you don't understand something, just ask Yu'er, you won't make a mistake."
Daiyu said: "My sisters are not up to date, they are all joking about me."
Xiangyu said again: "Why are you joking? My mother also told me that I should learn more from Yu'er. I only worry about not having the opportunity to learn from a teacher." Su Lan and Yinglian laughed even more.
Although she was being teased, Daiyu knew that the sisters were all kind, and that the previous life was too bitter, so she loved the simple and cheerful atmosphere very much.
Lin Ruhai and his wife came out of the house and saw some girls in the yard. Jia Min said to her husband, "The daughters get along well, and they get along well with Xiangyu."
Lin Ruhai also laughed, "It's always good to see the daughters are in harmony."
The sisters chatted and laughed, and set off on their bikes. Jia Min and Lin You rode together, Dai Yu and the sisters rode together, and the maidservants in the back rode several cars, and only Lin Ruhai rode a horse.The east of the capital is rich and the west is expensive. Many shops are located in the east of the city, and many houses of nobles are in the west of the city. If you want to visit antique shops, you have to start early in the morning.
It is rare to go out once, and there is a very famous dim sum shop in the east of the city, so Daiyu made an exception and did not arrange nutritious meals at home.Over the past two years, she has already verified the excellent health preservation techniques recorded in "Liu's Miscellaneous Notes", and Daiyu said that she would rather eat fresh and nutritious dishes every day, which are clean and nutritious.But it's rare to go out once, and it's great to taste the delicious food outside.
Although it was very early in the morning, the streets were already full of people coming and going.The sisters all looked out through the screen window, but they saw the same scenery, but they were in different moods.
For example, Su Lan is from a family background. After an accident at home, she practiced in Panxiang Temple, and she only traveled far away once to Beijing with Liu Langzhong.At that time, Su Lan was burdened with a family feud, and every step she took was like walking on thin ice, so she couldn't be in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside the window.Although the current market scene is noisy, it is also full of vitality. Su Lan only feels that when people are in a good mood, such a noisy market scene is also lively.
Yinglian has gone through ups and downs, and has long imagined countless dark endings. Now she is blessed to be the adopted daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.There is only infinite gratitude in Yinglian's heart.With a grateful heart, everything is beautiful.
On the other hand, Xiangyu, although not a descendant of an official, is also a member of the Duke's family, and has a direct uncle who is an official. The Liu family has a lot of money and is loved by his parents. He has lived in happiness since he was a child, and he only feels that everything is fresh and interesting.
It's the second time for Daiyu to live. In her previous life, apart from entering Beijing twice, she only went out of the Qingxu Temple once, and in her previous life, she was fond of cleanliness, so she didn't take a close look at the scenery in the city.Traveling to later generations, Daiyu has broadened her horizons and increased her knowledge, especially Daiyu's class concept has faded a lot, and now she prefers to look at a person's character rather than class.
Seeing the scene of the market and thinking of class, Daiyu suddenly thought of Grandma Liu in her previous life, and couldn't help smiling.Why didn't I eat minced meat in my previous life? Seeing Grandma Liu pretending to be ugly to please my grandmother and others, I felt that she was not decent enough, and even satirized Grandma Liu.
Now that she has gained knowledge and accepted new viewpoints, Daiyu thinks that Grandma Liu is a good person, she knows how to repay her kindness, and she is also a person who knows current affairs, so she can bow her head.If I meet Grandma Liu in this life, I will definitely not make fun of her again.I have seen too many wolf-hearted people. Although Grandma Liu is a marketable person, she has a conscience, but she is cute.
It's just that now the Wang family has fallen, and I don't know where Grandma Liu will go for help when she encounters difficulties in her family.
Walking and watching, I didn't feel how long it took before I arrived at Dongcheng.
The Lin family motorcade drove to a street, and smelling the delicious food, Daiyu knew that she had arrived at a street lined with restaurants in Dongcheng.I saw Lin Ruhai stopped in front of a restaurant, handed over the horse to the boy, and then helped Jia Min get off the carriage.
The first few girls were in their youth and vigor, and they wore such comfortable and convenient clothes, so they didn't need anyone to help them, and they stepped down on the car stool one by one.
This street is full of high-end restaurants, just like the food street of later generations.There are also girls on the street, who seem to be from wealthy families, but they come and go freely, and the social atmosphere is not so closed.
Lin Ruhai pointed to the plaque of a restaurant and said, "How about we have breakfast here?" Then he asked his children, "Do you know any stories about this restaurant?" After speaking, he glanced narrowly at Jia Min.Jia Min also pursed her lips and smiled.
Daiyu looked up, and saw a plaque hanging on the gate of this restaurant, with three big gilt characters "Desheng Building" written on it.Seeing the way his father looked at his mother just now, he knew something in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Su Lan is so meticulous and intelligent. Seeing the expressions of her adoptive father and adoptive mother, and also seeing Daiyu's reaction, she vaguely guessed it. She still didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and smiled.
Yinglian and Xiangyu were more delicate and naive. Seeing Daiyu and Su Lan, they seemed to know each other clearly, but they refused to speak. Xiangyu pestered Jia Min directly: "Aunt Lin, they don't want to say anything. You just talk to them." We agreed."
Lin Ruhai said: "You all got up early and are not hungry yet, let's go inside first, and it won't be too late when the food is served."
The mistresses who can make a living on this street are also smart.When I saw the Lin family parked before, I wanted to go up to them, and seeing the Lin family talking, the waiter waited on me.At the moment when Lin Ruhai spoke, the shop waiter hastily came up to greet him, and said, "Please come upstairs, guest officer, we have a very clean private seat upstairs, so we won't offend the ladies and ladies."
Xiao Er greeted the Lin family upstairs, and at the same time said the origin of the restaurant's name: "It's always good for guest officials to eat in our restaurant. At that time, Emperor Tai|Zu had not yet entered Beijing, and Emperor Tai|Zu The vanguard general Rong Guogong invaded the capital first, and we hosted the first celebration banquet here. At that time, the old club changed the restaurant into Deshenglou. Don't worry, the guest officer, although the name has changed, the taste has not changed. Back then, the Duke also praised our food as delicious."
A group of people went upstairs, and indeed there was a partitioned private room that was very clean and lighted with elegant incense.
The waiter also followed in, poured tea for everyone, and handed the menu to Lin Ruhai, still praising his restaurant and adding gold to the restaurant's history: "I don't know objectively, now decades have passed, honor The Duke’s son-in-law is the Minister of the Household Department who was promoted not long ago. It is said that this Lord Minister is stern and selfless, and has copied the homes of many corrupt officials.”
The front is fine, Lin Ruhai's expression changed when he heard this.Whose house did I copy?
Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai narrowly and blinked.
The children of the Lin family also laughed.However, the Lin family is not a flamboyant family. Not only did the children not show arrogance on their faces, but even the maids they brought didn't interrupt.
Only Lin Ruhai said indifferently: "Nonsense, how can the Minister of the Ministry of Housing confiscate someone's house? The house raid must be investigated by the Ministry of Punishment according to the law, and has nothing to do with the Minister of the Ministry of Housing."
The second child still said to himself: "Why not? It is said that Mr. Lin was the first to raid the Jingying Jiedu envoy Wang's family when he took office."
Well, the Wang family was indeed ransacked, and it's good that Lin Ruhai participated in the planning, but it can't be said that Lin Ruhai directly copied the Wang family?So Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Perhaps it's rumors spread in the market, that's all, let's serve your signature dishes here first, I don't need anyone to wait here."
The waiter took the menu and should have gone, Jia Min burst out laughing.Then all the little ones in the room and the maid who came with them laughed.
It didn't take long for the dishes to be served, one small bowl and one small plate, which naturally looked good and tasted good, but one bowl couldn't eat two mouthfuls.It seems that the business of this Desheng building is good, apart from having an allusion and a name with a good meaning, it is also because of its good craftsmanship.
In the previous life, Daiyu would be full after eating just one or two dishes, but in this life, she can try all kinds of dishes, there are dozens of them in total, and one must have a good appetite to taste all of them.Lin You, Su Lan, and Ying Lian felt full before they tasted some dishes.But Xiangyu and Daiyu, Xiangyu has practiced martial arts since childhood, and Daiyu has also started to practice fighting, and her appetite is bigger than ordinary girls.
On the contrary, Jia Min put down the chopsticks early, and said with a smile: "Hey, Yu'er has such an appetite, and I don't know where he puts his things for such a small person?"
Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "It's good to have a better appetite. I see that Yu'er has become stronger in recent years. If not, let's invite a master of riding and archery, so that all the children can follow suit. In the past few years, I have been released. If we are slack in the place, even I have to pick up the horse and shooter."
In terms of locality, as long as you click on time, you can go back to the capital to work. When you go to the Great Court Meeting, you will often go to Donghuamen at Yinshi. no.Among the six arts of a gentleman, there is riding and shooting. Lin Ruhai also learned it before, but after being released to the outside world, he left it behind.
Of course, I came here for shopping today, so these words were just casually said, so I put them aside for the time being.After paying the bills, the carriages and horses were stored in the Desheng Building, and the group strolled on foot.
Girls seldom go out, everything they see is novelty, and they want to visit all kinds of shops.He stopped and walked, walked for a street, and finally arrived at the very famous Wenwan Street in Dongcheng.
During this period of time, there were quite a few families raising money, but some good things were also lost, and the whole family reaped a lot.I packed the things and ordered someone to put them in the car first, and the family continued to wander around.
Before he had gone far, he saw a young man dressed in fine clothes, leading a large group of servants, walking at a pace that his relatives did not recognize, looking around and walking without looking at the road, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
Then, the young master saw the Lin family's group, and focused his eyes on Yinglian's group. After that, his eyes lit up; he stared at Yinglian for a while, and then looked back and forth at the girls of the Lin family. There was a bit of shock in the frivolous eyes.
Daiyu recognized this person, but he was an acquaintance in previous life, he had a relationship with Xue Baochai's brother, the overlord Xue Pan.The Xue family came to Beijing a few years earlier in this life, and the head of the Xue family is still alive, so Xue Pan wouldn't do such a thing as fighting to buy Yinglian and killing people.Unexpectedly, Yinglian seldom goes out, and when she goes out, she meets this idiot again.
The members of the Lin family, no matter their clothes or demeanor, looked like they were people of status. Although Xue Pan was almost drooling at the sight, he didn't dare to step forward abruptly.It's just that his eyes are quite abrupt.
In fact, Xue Pan was not only shocked by Yinglian's beauty alone, but all the members of the Lin family had outstanding looks and were pleasing to the eye.Secretly said: This family does not know where they came from, how did they raise so many handsome young men, and took a closer look, only to see that Yinglian was dressed in men's clothes, but she was soft and coquettish, with a little rouge between her eyebrows, so she recognized this line of clothing. The boy in men's clothes was originally a girl.
Lin Ruhai coughed, and stood in front of Daiyu.
Xue Pan was only looking at people, but was suddenly blocked by someone. He still opened his mouth and took two steps forward in a daze. When he stumbled and was blocked by something, Xue Pan fell forward.On the contrary, Xue's servants saw the opportunity quickly and supported him, so that he didn't fall into a shit.
Only then did Xue Pan regain his senses, and recognized Lin Ruhai.Before the Lin family held a banquet, Patriarch Xue came to pay a visit because he was on an errand in the household department.At that time, Xue Pan did not enter the back house and did not know the girls of the Lin family, but in the front hall, he and his father met Master Shangshu.
Xue Pan recognized Lin Ruhai all of a sudden, he was taken aback, and didn't dare to do anything wrong; he turned around to see what was stumbling him.But I saw a pair of baskets on the ground, which were filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. I think they were harvested by a nearby farmer's family and exchanged for some money on the street.
Can't you treat Mr. Shangshu? Can't you vent your anger on the small family?Xue Pan kicked the basket on the ground, gritted his teeth in pain, and said to the evil servant behind him: "Let the stall be overthrown by the young master!"
The vegetable basket belonged to an old woman, but it was actually placed on the sidelines, and she didn’t dare to occupy the road to manage it. Besides, Xue Pan bumped into it because she couldn’t walk without long eyes. The rich and expensive young master's clothes were also quite frightened, and hurriedly bowed to apologize.As for the old woman with the two or three-year-old child, she hid behind the old woman in fright, tugged at the hem of the old woman's clothes, and began to cry.
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai hurriedly stopped and said, "Stop!"
Perhaps the young master of the Xue family was used to being domineering, and the servants of the Xue family were also very flamboyant. He didn't know Lin Ruhai's identity, so he ignored the old woman's plea, and overturned a basket, with fruits and vegetables rolled all over the ground.The child even cried loudly.
Seeing Lin Ruhai stop him, Xue Pan personally stopped the servant, Xue Jiahao's slave stopped, and the old woman's other basket was spared.
When the old woman begged for mercy, Daiyu had already recognized her as Grandma Liu who was desperate in her previous life and went to Rongguo Mansion for help.When she first went to the street today, Daiyu still thought of Grandma Liu, and unexpectedly met her on the street.
So Daiyu said to the two young men: "Go and help her, just say that we have bought all her vegetables." The young men should have gone, and just about to stretch out their hands, a man who looked like a guard came over on a tall horse, He stopped in front of the old woman and got off the horse.
Just now a very domineering young man was stopped by a very respectable old man, and now another official came, and the old woman bowed again and again in fright, saying: "Master official, forgive me, I will leave now." "The child behind the old woman was only two or three years old. Seeing the battle, he became more and more frightened and hid behind the old woman, tightly holding on to the corner of the old woman's clothes, crying profusely, but clenched his teeth. Dare to speak up.
Seeing that the girl was only two or three years old, she was probably Grandma Liu's granddaughter Qing'er.As for Ban'er, he should have been born in the next year or two.
Since the old man had ordered to help the old woman, the young servant of the Lin family saluted the guard and said: "This official, can you be a little more accommodating, I will take this old man away, and I will definitely not offend the nobleman." Grandma Liu said: "Don't be afraid, old man." At the same time, she reached out to help the old woman carry the vegetable basket.
The waiter was tall and mighty, but his tone was kind, he said: "What is this little brother talking about? Our young prince told the old mother to send all the vegetables to Ruijun Prince's Mansion, and our Prince's Mansion bought them all. "It turns out that this guard, like the young servant of the Lin family, was ordered to help the old woman.
Only the guard claimed to send the things to Ruijun Wang's mansion, could it be that the Ruijun king couldn't pass by?But if it is the King of Ruijun, the guards will definitely call us the prince, not our little prince.So who is this little prince who is going to buy vegetables and send them to Ruijun Palace?
On the contrary, Xue Pan was already stupefied with fright, meeting a Lord Shangshu was not enough, why is there another young prince?Today, apart from seeing a few beauties to feast my eyes, everything is not going well.
