The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Hasn't Miss Lin ever read a book?In a place where ladies from famous families gather, saying such things in public, it can be said that they are not vicious.This simple sentence is very likely to cut off Daiyu's future marriage to a wealthy and beautiful son.But whoever would marry a girl who has no education if he has a good family background and a high level of talent, learning and conduct?

Chun Shan and Xue Yan immediately glared at Shi Xiangyun after hearing this.That is to say, Shi Xiangyun is Jia Mu's natal family. When they were introduced just now, Chun Shan and Xue Yan paid attention and realized that she was a girl from the Shi family.But the two families have neither enmity nor contact, and they are even related because of Jia Mu's relationship. What does this good-looking Miss Smith do to ruin her own girl's reputation?

Daiyu just sat still, she didn't plan to marry, and she didn't care about such a reputation.She hoped that these ladies would say more, so as to judge the attitude of each family in the imperial capital towards her.

Don't think that this is an occasion for ladies to socialize. The more wealthy the ladies are, the more they have been taught to serve the interests of the family since childhood. None of the girls who can bring this kind of occasion is mediocre.Without him, a girl with poor aptitude, on such an occasion, either loses face and hurts other girls in the family; or offends someone without knowing it, it is not beautiful.Therefore, these ladies, at least know their own position clearly, and their attitudes expressed without opinions also more or less represent the attitudes of their families.

As for Xiangyun's words, Daiyu was not at all surprised that Xiangyun was able to compare herself to an actor in front of everyone in the previous life, but she said such words in this life.

Daiyu didn't speak, and Princess Mingyue couldn't stand it anymore.Princess Mingyue was raised under Lin Qing's name since she was a child, Lin Ruhai was her uncle, and Daiyu was her cousin.My cousin is said so in public, can Princess Mingyue have a good face?

"Which girl is this girl? She's so mean, it's not like what a girl with an education should say." Princess Mingyue said flatly.These words pointed directly at Xiangyun's upbringing, so it can't be said that they are not poisonous, but they are the truth, let alone the ladies present, they are the maids brought by various families, which one is not a human being?The meaning behind Xiangyun's words is clear to everyone, but Princess Mingyue made it clear.

Shi Xiangyun originally said it with a smile, but as soon as Princess Mingyue said this, the smile on Xiangyun's face froze immediately, and even the girls from the Shi family who came with Shi Xiangyun felt ashamed.

Seeing this, the thirteenth princess came out and said softly to Princess Mingyue: "Mingyue, Miss Smith is always outspoken, but if you ask me casually, why do you say that about her? I think Miss Smith made an unintentional mistake."

The thirteenth princess is about the same age as the other girls, but her seniority is higher than most of them, and Princess Mingyue should call her little aunt.Mingyue said: "Little aunt is right, today is a good day, why bother to disappoint." After speaking, she glanced at the few girls who were gossiping just now.Obviously it meant to blame those girls for causing trouble for no reason.

Daiyu's expression remained unchanged, she was neither humble nor overbearing, calm and breezy, as if all the ladies were bickering, but she was just a spectator.On the other hand, although Chun Shan and Xue Yan were not easy to intervene, they were secretly anxious, not knowing what the girl was up to.On an occasion like today, the girl from the Lin family must not be ridiculed.

Shui Lan didn't make a sound among the crowd. She met Miss Lin once in her previous life. At that time, Daiyu was weak, but she was born with an extraordinary beauty, and her sickness could not conceal her brilliance.The first time I saw Miss Lin in this life was several years earlier than in the previous life. Miss Lin still had a childish look, but her appearance and demeanor were actually more prosperous than in the previous life.

Shui Lan said suspiciously: Miss Lin was possessed by some evil ghost, right?In the previous life, although Miss Lin was in poor health, she was talented. It was precisely because her elder brother saw Miss Lin's standard poems from Jia Baoyu and admired her talent that he had the heart to accept her as a concubine.

Miss Lin was a sickly beauty in her previous life, but her heart was high. She would rather die than be a concubine. Later, she died of a hunger strike.But his talent and appearance cannot be faked, and there is absolutely no reason why he can't write poetry.Why is there such a situation in this life, Miss Lin would rather be humiliated in public than write a few poems to dispel everyone's doubts?

Thinking of this, Shui Lan looked at Daiyu again, because she suspected that Daiyu was an evildoer in her heart, the more she looked at Daiyu's unreally beautiful face, her calm and calm demeanor, the more she felt that Daiyu was evil.Shui Lan took a step back in fright.

Daiyu didn't say anything, but the change in Shui Lan's expression fell into Daiyu's eyes.Daiyu knew that Shui Lan was reborn, but she was doing well, why did Shui Lan seem to be frightened all of a sudden.

The thirteenth princess stopped Princess Mingyue from standing up for Daiyu, and Princess Mingyue also took the opportunity to beat the person who caused trouble. If the two sides just let it go, the matter might be over.

But Xiangyun's disposition has not changed at all from her previous life. In her previous life, she herself compared Daiyu to an actor. When Baoyu persuaded her, she still felt that she had been wronged, and she was so angry that she wanted to go home.Now that Princess Mingyue called her mean in public, how could Xiangyun be convinced.

But Shi Xiangyun is not a simple, kind and straightforward person, or in other words, her straightforwardness is quick to divide people.For Princess Mingyue, Shi Xiangyun knew how to avoid her edge, and for Daiyu who had been refusing to write poems and paintings, and wanted to run away to find Jia Min, Shi Xiangyun believed that she had no real talent to escape, and she had a lot of confidence in herself.

So, Shi Xiangyun said: "I was the one who was abrupt. Miss Lin has a scholarly family, so I don't even think about it. If not, Miss Lin also joins us in composing poems. I will apologize to Miss Lin when it's over."

Shi Xiangyun is talented and thoughtful, she is considered young among all the ladies today, but she has a lot of couplets, and her poems have neat rhythm and good artistic conception, she is quite praised today, and she is a big hit among many ladies.Originally, at a peony banquet, the wind and the scenery were all alone, but because of Princess Mingyue's words, she lost face, how could she not get her back?

Historians are very attentive to the training of the girls. In addition to teaching them to study and make progress, they also teach them to treat others.Mrs. Shi Hou would tell a few girls in her family about the origins, conduct and talents of the noble girls in Beijing.Xiangyun also knew that before the Lin family held banquets, it was rumored that the Lin family daughters were good at handling gifts, and the three girls of the Lin family were quite famous.But you can take care of the chores at home, can you play these elegant music such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?

Daiyu raised her eyes and glanced at Xiangyun, she didn't know why this girl was hostile to her in the past and present. "In recent years, our family has indeed not hired a single teacher to teach me to read. It was originally my father who enlightened me. Later, I just read some books at random and asked my father for advice if I didn't understand. After careful study, it is true that I have never studied hard. study."

After Daiyu returned to Beijing, she naturally inquired about various affairs in the capital; her father also did a few important things after he was promoted to minister, and many aristocrats in Beijing would know about her family's situation.My family has never hired a teacher, and I have done these things since I was a child. Many people know about it.Daiyu simply admitted to herself generously, so as not to expose it with her rhetoric, and be accused of being vain and lying.

Besides, Daiyu only admitted that she didn't hire a teacher to teach her, but she didn't admit that she didn't know much.

Daiyu was so calm, not only Xiangyun was taken aback, but many noble ladies were also surprised.It's embarrassing for the daughter of Tanhualang to admit that she didn't invite Mr. Zhengsong, but it's hard for Miss Lin not to die of shame.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Miss Lin can write good poems, does it matter if you hire another gentleman?" Xiang Yun pretended to be generous.Xiangyun really didn't like Daiyu, besides Daiyu's natural beauty made people involuntarily turn their attention to her, but also caused the historian to pay a large sum of money for Lin Shangshuqing's outstanding debts.

Naturally, there are many families who have annoyed the Lin family because of clearing up their debts. It's just that the girls of these families are happy to watch the play when they see Xiangyun rushing ahead.I still secretly hoped that Daiyu would make a fool of herself.To ask everyone to judge, Daiyu's current situation has already lost her face, but Miss Lin is young and thick-skinned, and she has a calm expression on her face all the time.

Even Chun Shan and Xue Yan are self-cultivated, and they can't help showing anger.Yuan Chun stood behind the thirteenth princess, feeling a little happy in his heart.She hated the Lin family. Back then, the Lin family returned the gift from the Second Household as it was, and refused to give her the position of Queen's side concubine of Murui County. Yuan Chun felt that her face was hurt, and she was quite dissatisfied with the Lin family.

Later, the mother reconciled with the father first, and then went to prison; then the uncle also went to prison, and the Dawang family was removed from the wealthy and noble families in Beijing.All of this is related to the Lin family. In Yuan Chun's heart, the Lin family is an indissoluble enemy.She is a girl, so she can't do anything to Shangshu Hubu, but Yuan Chun is very happy to see the daughter of Shangshu Hubu being ridiculed like this.

However, Yuan Chun's pleasure was greatly compromised by the indifferent look on the face of that girl from the Lin family.How can she be so calm after losing face; how can she be so calm at such a young age?

Yuan Chun gritted his teeth secretly, and said in his heart: How long can you pretend?If you keep silent like this, even if you pretend nothing happened, you will lose all face, and from now on you will never be able to stand out among the beauties in Beijing.

Daiyu still looked around calmly and confidently. The eyes of a female soldier were never seen by a group of ladies. Although she was only a little girl, her strong aura was full of determination and confidence, even under such an unfavorable situation. , also revealed an attitude that people dare not despise.

Shui Lan has never seen such an expression on any girl's face, not to mention that the daughter of the Lin family is only in her early eight years old.Shui Lan became more and more sure that this daughter of the Lin family was not the original Lin Daiyu. Although her appearance was the same as in her previous life, this girl was probably called a ghost.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, the maid of Cheng En Gong's mansion came over with a flower name stick, walked to Zhong Chu and whispered: "Girl, this servant brought the flower name stick."

Zhong Chu lifted the stick and said, "Okay, knowing that Xiangyun is a talented woman, how can everyone compare with you. Even a son who is studying hard may not be able to make good poems at the age of eight, and Miss Lin is six years old. It took a lot of energy to start taking care of Zhongfu, and it’s human nature not to be good at poetry, so there’s nothing wrong with drawing flowers and signatures for both elegance and vulgarity.”

Zhong Hanyan saw that the stalemate between the two parties could not get off the stage, so she began to persuade: "Chuchu, Miss Lin is a guest, so you can do whatever you want today, how can you force Miss Lin to play?" Then she turned to Daiyu and smiled apologetically: " Miss Lin, Chu Chu is not careful, don't blame her."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Hanyan beckoned to another servant girl, and said: "Take you to Rong En Hall first and ask if the ladies are still talking or if you have already arrived at the Peony Garden. You must find Mrs. Shangshu before you can come back." It should be, go find someone yourself.

Zhong Hanyan turned to Daiyu again and said, "Miss Lin, please sit down and have a cup of tea. When I find Mrs. Shangshu, I will order someone to take the girl there."

Zhong Hanyan is indeed the girl who is in charge of entertaining the delicate guests today, so this response is not inappropriate.Not only praised Xiangyun, but also explained Daiyu's inability to compose poems, which was regarded as a step down.Of course, it also inadvertently belittled Daiyu's talent and learning, and confirmed the reputation of Lin's daughter as not studying.

Daiyu still looked calm and calm, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am not in a hurry to find my mother now. When I am at home, I just study by myself and ask my father for advice if I don't understand. But my father is busy with work. It's inconvenient to disturb. Many girls here are well-read poetry books, and I have a question to ask everyone."

As soon as Daiyu said this, all the ladies were stunned.

Seeing Zhong Hanyan coming out and going down the steps, the ladies who harbored malice towards Daiyu were regretting that there was no good show to watch, but they saw that Daiyu was going to come out to ask everyone for advice. Isn't this a trap for oneself?Even if the daughter of the Lin family comes from a scholarly family and is Tanhualang's daughter, but she is so young, how far can she go in terms of knowledge, there are so many people here, many of them have outstanding qualifications and have been taught by famous teachers, no matter what the Lin family daughter asks, There will always be someone who will be able to answer it. The Lin family daughter challenged everyone like this, and she is asking herself to be humiliated.

Those who have a good impression of Daiyu, such as Princess Mingyue, naturally feel that Daiyu's move is unwise.

But Daiyu had already spoken, and Princess Mingyue didn't have time to stop her.Although everyone had different expressions on their faces, they were all waiting for Daiyu to ask questions.

I only heard Daiyu pronouncing the words smoothly, and asked clearly: "I just read "Hanshu·Wang Mang Biography" last night, and I seem to understand it. I don't know if there is any girl who can tell me something. explain."

Then everyone looked like they were shocked by thunder, and some clever ladies even started to back away slowly.

Since Daiyu opened her mouth, she naturally wouldn't let it go, and actually named out the names of the ladies who had just mentioned her.From Niu girl in Zhenguogong's mansion who started talking about her in a low voice, to Shi Xiangyun in Baolinghou's mansion who forced herself to compose poems, not only the names of the girls, but also their backgrounds, directly Which door and which government do you order?

Many of the ladies who came today, some of them had been to the Lin family before, and Daiyu had met them once, and many Daiyu had met for the first time, but they just listened to each other when they were introduced to each other, and at this time they could accurately tell everyone I did not remember one of her family backgrounds wrongly, but this appalling memory alone left many people far behind.Regardless of whether Daiyu can compose poems or not, with this outstanding memory, as long as Daiyu has read books, her knowledge will not be inferior.

What's more, the question Daiyu raised is really not difficult, but the timing of the question is really tricky.

Now everyone who was still looking forward to Daiyu making a fool of himself is in a dilemma. Who is Wang Mang and what has he done? Which of these young ladies who are conceited and talented don't know?The problem is that this is the mansion of Cheng En Gong, the current Cheng En Gong is the elder brother of Queen Zhong, and the son of Cheng En Gong is the nephew of Queen Zhong.

Wang Mang's usurping the Han, isn't it the fact that Wang Mang, the nephew of the Empress Wang Zhengjun of the Han Yuan Emperor, usurped the Liu family?Who dares to speak of Wang Mang in Cheng'en Gong's mansion?

Zhong Chu’s expression changed drastically. To make an analogy, her father happened to be the nephew of Empress Zhong. She dared not accept such a big hat, and neither did her father: “Miss Lin, be careful! This pilgrim is A Mingjun, why are you talking about this so politely?"

Daiyu followed Zhong Chu's words and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor is naturally a wise ruler, so men, women and children of all ages can read Han books, so what should I say carefully? Why don't Miss Zhong tell me that the words in Wang Mang's biography are unspeakable?" , why have you reached the point where you need to be cautious?"

Zhong Chu was so angry that his face turned red. Daiyu was able to ask Wang Mang in Cheng'en Gong's mansion, if he didn't know where he needed to be cautious?But if you ask Zhong Chu to point out Daiyu's knowingly and knowingly, you really can't say it.

So many people said that they didn't study, and they admitted that they didn't hire special teachers, and read the books by themselves.Since it is self-study, wouldn't it make sense to learn what you know but don't know why.Isn't it because you are open-minded and eager to learn to ask you talented women who claim to be talented?

Among the ladies in the audience, no one could say anything about Wang Mang, except Lin Daiyu.Because you are the one who did not study, even if you say something that should not be said, those who do not know are not guilty.If your Cheng'en government cares about this, the world will not say how about Miss Lin, but you will only say that you are small.What does it mean to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot?This is.

After all, this is not the first time for Zhong Hanyan to entertain delicate guests, she is more sophisticated than Zhong Chu.Although Zhong Hanyan was also annoyed, she managed to restrain her temper and speak calmly: "If Ms. Lin wants to exchange knowledge, I will post a message to Ms. Lin some other day, and I will sweep the bed and wait for you."

Chun Shan and Xue Yan both let out a soft sigh of relief. Although they did not show any timidity or lose their composure, they were really afraid of damaging the Lin family's daughter's reputation with their previous situation.It wasn't until their own girl blocked the mouth of the dry man with a word, that the two were relieved.As expected of her own girl, as soon as she made a move, it was not one, but one piece that was suppressed.

It wasn't until this moment that Chunshan and Xueyan knew the girl's intention to keep him from interjecting. I'm afraid that the countermeasure that the girl had thought of at that time was to wait for the daughter of Zhong's family to make some inappropriate remarks before starting to fight back.

Chunshan and Xueyan guessed right, Daiyu did not start to fight back until the daughter of the Zhong family was caught.After all, the Cheng En Gong Mansion and the Lin family still have the same position on the surface. After all, if the daughter of the Zhong family did not make any mistakes, it would not be appropriate to bring out the Zhong family when they fight back.

It wasn't until Zhong Hanyan's words of persuasion, but actually belittled herself secretly, and Daiyu's words of shooting all the girls, that she could hit a sure hit, and it was not rude.

Yes, it was not the Zhong family who started the trouble, and there is no evidence to prove that those sloppy girls were instigated by the Zhong family, but you, the daughter of the Zhong family, as the master of this place, shouldn't you be the first to see the guests being made things difficult? Is it time to persuade peace and resolve disputes?You have had enough of watching the fire from the other side, and then you come out to pretend to persuade, and secretly belittle the daughter of the Lin family, what does it mean?

Since you daughter of the Zhong family likes to watch the fire from the other side so much, Daiyu might as well light a fire between the noble daughter who is causing trouble today and the Zhong family, and tell you to take a good look.All you learned and talented ladies, what does the biography of Wang Mang mean? Do you dare to say it in front of the daughter of the Zhong family?

Zhong Hanyan was quick to see the opportunity, and once she said this, she was subdued, and Daiyu naturally would not pursue and beat her up.As for the other people who provoked the trouble, it is you who gave the daughter of the Lin family the opportunity to mention Wang Mang's biography in Cheng'en Gong's mansion.If Cheng'en Gong's mansion is suspicious, you will suspect that your mansion has some premeditated plan with the Lin family, deliberately looking for trouble.

After all, Lin Daiyu is the daughter of Lin Ruhai.How good Lin Ruhai is at cooperating with others depends on how Lin Shangshu first promoted the reform of the accounts of the Ministry of Households; how he cooperated with the Imperial Academy and the Yushitai to clear the money owed by the court that had not been recovered for decades; He and Jia Amnesty cooperated to take over the Wang family in one fell swoop, and helped Jia Amnesty get the post of Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp.How could anyone know that the lady who started to provoke troubles today was not playing the roles of the Hanlin Academy and Yushitai back then.

In short, anyone with a brain, not only dare not seek Daiyu's affairs at this moment, but also start to worry about whether they will offend the Cheng'en government.

Daiyu's tone was still calm, and she responded to Zhong Hanyan with a low voice but clear words: "Ms. Zhong's kind invitation is naturally excellent. The peony flower in Cheng'en Gong's mansion is a must in the capital. It is also a joy to read Chinese books together.”

Also mention Han Shu!Who wants to read with you?Zhong Hanyan was about to die of anger from these two words, but she could only pinch her nose to recognize it, and only smiled in agreement: "It's so good."

After solving the troublemakers, Daiyu lightly brushed off her sleeves, turned to Xiangyun and said, "Miss Smith, you said just now that 'the fairy in the sky weaves colorful brocade, but borrows the shadow of flowers from the world', and the word 'shadow' was changed to Wouldn't 'soul' be better?"

Someone in the crowd immediately let out a sigh.There was also a quick-spoken girl who said in a low voice: "'But I went to the world to borrow the flower soul'. Although I only changed one word, it is really better."

Instant kill with one word!

Xiangyun's face immediately flushed red.In today's joint poem, Xiangyun is indeed quick-witted and has a neat rhythm. Although he is young, he is quite sought after among the noble ladies and steals the limelight.

But among the ladies who came here today, even if some poems are weaker, at least they have good taste, and even some maids can tell the good from the bad. Daiyu changed the word for Xiangyun, and the artistic conception is different immediately .Even in terms of poetry, it is clear at a glance which is better.

In fact, today's situation does not need to waste effort to write poems to break the situation. Besides, on such an occasion today, writing poems is nothing more than touting the wealth and style of Duke Cheng'en's mansion. The government sings praises.

The Lin family has offended many people, as long as someone finds fault together, these many people will gather around like a pack of wolves.If Daiyu falls into their thoughts, if you prove that you can compose poems, someone will ask you to paint, and after you finish painting, you may play chess and piano.There are so many people, as long as there are enough people who are malicious towards Daiyu, the provocative scene that was originally just a few people is very likely to turn into a wheel war in the end.

When she was in the army, Daiyu learned a very important strategic idea, which is not to be led by the nose by the enemy. A generation of great men proposed the strategy of "you fight yours, I fight mine", which is easy to understand, but has a high degree of control over the initiative Thought.

Therefore, today Daiyu didn't think about seeing the tricks, but took the initiative to attack.A sentence of "Wang Mang Biography" is enough to shock most people, and it is enough to pick another opponent to suppress it.Don't you admire Shi Xiangyun?Then it is enough for me to prove that I am better than the people you admire.

Daiyu glanced around at the ladies whom she had named just now, finally smiled, and said: "Today's flowers are indeed beautiful, but there are better ones."

Wouldn't this play be more interesting?
