The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

The momentum of Lin Daiyu's entry into Beijing can be said to be very great. At this time, there is no one in the capital who does not know that the daughter of Mrs. Lin, the official inspector of Yanyan, the little girl who is about to marry into the Chengke County Prince's Mansion as a concubine, is very popular today. important.

The boat docked, the pier had already been cleared, Jia Min, Daiyu and others were carried off the boat in sedan chairs, and when they got into the carriage, officers and soldiers from Wucheng Bingma Division cleared the way and escorted them all the way back to the Lin family's house in Beijing.

The onlookers looked at this rare grand occasion, and they all talked a lot, envious and admiring.

Among the crowd, there were several carriages that were guarded by servants. From the outside, they were not something ordinary people could have, but now they were overwhelmed by the aura of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and they couldn't get close at all.

Zhou Rui watched in shock as the Lin family was escorted all the way by officers and soldiers, and even the servants of the Lin family were in high spirits.Zhou Rui suddenly felt that his previous arrogance was a bit ridiculous.Zhou Rui always thought that as the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, he and his mother-in-law controlled the inside and outside of the mansion, even in the eyes of outsiders, it was a very decent thing to be looked down upon. It's nothing.

It can be seen that the dignity of a servant depends entirely on the master.

Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, finally remembering the reason for coming here today, he quickly bowed to the carriage and said, "Second Master, Second Master Lian, what should we do now? The slaves can't get close to the fleet of Young Master Lin's family..."

Sitting in the carriage were Jia Zheng and Jia Lian, both of whom came to pick up Jia Min and others at the order of Jia's mother.

The reason why their uncle and nephew came here was because Jia She was not as close as Jia Zheng and Jia Min.Jia Min is a woman of poetry and calligraphy, and she can't get used to Jia She's lustful temperament, but she has a good relationship with Jia Zheng.

The Jia family also knew that it was absolutely impossible for Jia Min to be taken to Jia's mansion by them, but they still needed to come to make a gesture to show their importance to Jia Min and others.Especially Jia's mother, desperately hoped to restore Jia Min's trust in her, and sent Jia Zheng to play the emotional card.After all, if Jia Min knew that Jia Zheng had come to pick her up in person, he might be touched in his heart.

Jia Lian was still a teenager at heart, he had never seen such a scene except for the royal family, and it was only a young girl who enjoyed all of this, which made Jia Lian click his tongue involuntarily.This scene was deeply imprinted in Jia Lian's mind, and he felt a little jealous of this aunt and cousin whom he had never met, and since then, he has never felt the slightest bit of contempt or neglect towards Daiyu.However, along with fear, there is also excitement.This girl who has been favored so much at a young age is his cousin.Can he also look forward to the situation of "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven"?

Jia Zheng was ashamed to lift the curtain of the car to look out like Jia Lian, but he took a look out of the gap opened by Jia Lian without showing any signs of expression, and his heart was not without shock.It's a pity that under such circumstances, it may be impossible for the Lin family's team to talk to Jia Min.

Helpless, Jia Zheng and others had to go back to the mansion first to report the situation to Jia Mu.

In Jia's mansion, Jia's mother was anxiously waiting for Jia Zheng to come back.The originally kind-hearted and kind-hearted old lady now has a rather haggard appearance.Ever since she received Jia Min's letter, Jia's mother made up her mind to use bitter tricks, so she made herself ill and didn't take medicine. "What kind of appearance has it become? If you pretend to be magnanimous and don't care about Jia Min's suspicion, even if you can't immediately dispel Jia Min's suspicion, at least you can get along with each other in the future, and treat Jia Min and Daiyu better. It's better, it might not be impossible to restore the relationship between each other.

Therefore, Mother Jia sent Jia Zheng to pick up Jia Min. Although she knew that it was unlikely that she could bring Jia Min and others back to Rong Mansion, at least she had to let Jia Min know that she was "sick of heart" because of one of her letters. The matter of "falling down" will allow Jia Min to return home to visit her in the near future, so that she can finish the play early, otherwise she will not be able to recuperate after such a "sickness", which is really too much for her old bones.

However, the news of Jia Zheng and Jia Lian's return made Mother Jia's heart sink, and her face became more and more ugly, but she had no choice but to control the current situation.

In the end, Mother Jia could only tell Jia Zheng to remember to visit Lin's mansion tomorrow, and if he made his illness worse, Jia Min would naturally have to go back to the mansion to visit.

Jia Zheng was slightly unprepared, and felt that Mother Jia was being too cautious. No matter how high her status was, Jia Min was still Mother Jia's daughter. How could she let her natal brother come and beg her to come back to see her mother?It's just that when I thought about the scene I saw at the pier today, I didn't say much.

The Lin family returned home with a high profile, but Zhuang Yu's boat docked inconspicuously later.

Waiting to return to the mansion, he saw Yantang brother from the prince's uncle's family sitting on the steps in front of the study, scratching with a branch boredly.The servants stood far away, looking at their noses and their hearts, sticking there like logs.

The crown prince's son Zhuang Yan was only four months older than Zhuang Yu, and he was the son of the prince who came late when the prince was in his early thirties. Before him, the prince's concubine had only two daughters, and Zhuang Yang had two sons. It is Zhuang Wei, the eldest son of the concubine Jiang, and Zhuang Xin, the second son of the concubine.

Zhuang Yan's status is the most noble, but he is the third son, and he is also young. In addition, the princess has been weak since giving birth to him. Even if she takes care of him with all her heart, there are still things that cannot be taken care of. Zhuang Yan has suffered a lot. .

This has also formed his character of not expressing emotions or anger, even a little gloomy, not at all lively like an eight-year-old child should be.

However, these are just illusions!At least in the Prince's Mansion of Chengke County, Zhuang Yan will be completely different. He and Zhuang Yuzheng can be said to "smelly like each other", both of them are full of bad water.

For example, the posture of squatting on the ground looking for ants now, Zhuang Yan would never be able to do it in the East Palace. He didn't have the demeanor of a prince's son at all, it was simply too out of place.

Seeing that Zhuang Yan didn't notice him coming in, Zhuang Yu suddenly became ill-intentioned, and quietly hid behind Zhuang Yan, preparing to scream to scare him.

It's a pity that people who plot against people are always plotting against others. Before Zhuang Yu could yell out, Zhuang Yan suddenly jumped up from the ground, yelled very accurately into Zhuang Yu's ear, and directly punched Zhuang Yu. I was dumbfounded.

After Zhuang Yan succeeded, he laughed happily.

Zhuang Yu came to his senses, knowing that he had been fooled, he roared angrily and rushed forward, and immediately wrestled with Zhuang Yan.

Seeing the two distinguished children fighting, the servants still watched, not moving, let alone trying to persuade them to fight.

Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Yu are about the same age. When they were wearing crotch pants, they were put together by their mothers to play with each other. Naturally, they would not really fight. It was more like exchanging skills. Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Yu have been practicing martial arts since they were six years old. Yes, after two years, they are already looking good, but after all, they are children, after a while of fighting in a manner, they lose their rules and roll into a ball with their arms around their waists.

Zhuang Yang and Zhuang Ye opened the door and came out, and they saw these two dirty and dusty wild monkeys, but the two children didn't care about their appearance at all, Zhuang Yan put his hands on the side of Zhuang Yu's head and grabbed them. In his ears, he said with a smile: "Do you admit defeat? Do you admit defeat?"

When Zhuang Yan smiled, his eyes narrowed, and there were two shallow dimples on his cheeks. He looked very cute and pleasing, but he also looked very imposing. This was probably because he didn't like to smile in front of outsiders. .

Zhuang Yu yelled to protect his ears, and said dissatisfiedly: "If you admit defeat, you will admit defeat. I will find it sooner or later."

Only then did Zhuang Yan let go of Zhuang Yu's ear, Zhuang Yu stretched out his hand to rub his own ear, rolled Zhuang Yan's eyes, and Zhuang Yan hugged his shoulder again, hummed twice, and the two brothers hooked their shoulders together again .

Zhuang Ye didn't think they were disobedient when he saw their appearance without image, instead he looked at them with a smile.Prince demeanor?Clan demeanor?Zhuang Ye didn't have it himself, and it was even more impossible for him to demand this from the younger generation. On the contrary, he was happy to see their recklessness like a calf. Anyway, in his own home, he could always protect them.In his words, boys have to struggle and struggle to grow up to be able to take on the important task of being the head of the family. He has always disliked boys in pink and pink the most.

Zhuang Yang's eyes were a little complicated. He had never seen such a son in the East Palace. He was wanton and flamboyant, really like an eight-year-old child.He used to be proud of Zhuang Yan's stability and sensibility, just like when he was a child, but he forgot that such a stability and sensibility actually means depression and loneliness.Zhuang Yang knows his own family affairs well. If Zhuang Ye hadn't pestered him back then and made him realize the true brotherhood, maybe he would become suspicious, paranoid and gloomy today.No wonder, when the Crown Princess was seriously ill, she insisted on entrusting Zhuang Yan to Zhuang Ye's teaching, not because she didn't believe that he, as a father, couldn't protect her son, but because she was afraid that Zhuang Yan might be killed at such a moment. In the calculated environment, if no one pulls him out of the quagmire, Zhuang Yan will repeat his mistakes.

Just because Zhuang Yang understood the reason behind this, he didn't reprimand Zhuang Yan for his obviously unruly behavior.

Zhuang Ye looked at the two mud monkeys, waved them away to wash up, and the servants who looked like wooden stakes started to move as if they had suddenly come to life.

Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Yu were escorted into the bathroom in Zhuang Yu's courtyard, stripped themselves quickly, and jumped into the pool like dumpling.

Zhuang Yu has been running around for several days. Although he is not tired, it is the first time he has been away from home for such a long time. Now he is soaking in the pool water at a suitable temperature, and he is so comfortable that he hums.

Zhuang Yan approached Zhuang Yu nervously, bumped him with his shoulder, and asked, "Hey, did you go to see your siblings this time?"

Zhuang Yu blushed, and he didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or from the heat, he shrank into the water uncomfortably, and hummed, "She was poisoned, I accidentally saw her to save her." Zhuang Yu also knew that his behavior was inappropriate, but he had nothing to hide from Zhuang Yan, so he told Zhuang Yan about his experience in detail.

Zhuang Yan was a little silent after listening, and it took a while before she smiled coldly, turned her head, and said seriously to Zhuang Yu: "Since that's the case, the siblings are in trouble. But since she is going to become your daughter-in-law It's up to you to protect her. If you want to do it, be the eleventh uncle, don't imitate my father and hurt the mother and concubine's heart." The reason why Zhuang Yan was touched was because his grandfather's family had once In order to make him get closer to his eldest cousin, he even slandered Zhuang Yu, trying to drive a wedge between their brothers.Although it's not enough to say that the Zeng family wanted to harm him, but in the end it was because of too much selfishness, and the relationship between Zhuang Yan and the Zeng family became less and less close because of this.But after all, he didn't empirically speak ill of the Jia family to Zhuang Yu because of his own experience. There was no evidence and he didn't investigate the truth. He wouldn't just say something irresponsible. Zhuang Ye taught the two brothers The first lesson of a person is to be responsible for what he says and does.

Zhuang Yu listened to Zhuang Yan's words, and took it for granted: "That's natural, I will definitely protect her, and I will raise her to be white and fat, so that she won't be blown away by a gust of wind." Zhuang Yu said to Daiyu's memory still remained on that small ball, and she always felt that scene was very dazzling.

After hearing this, Zhuang Yan laughed, and suddenly said: "Hey, if I go to talk to Grandpa Huang, how about marrying me a little daughter-in-law?"

When Zhuang Yu heard this, he was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll accompany you to talk to Grandpa Huang." In this way, Grandpa Huang and the others wouldn't just stare at him for jokes, would they?Cousin Yan is indeed his good brother, let's advance and retreat together!

"However, who is it for you?"

A question from Zhuang Yu made the two of them frown again.Zhuang Yan struggled for a while, then waved his hand, and said, "Leave this matter to the emperor and the others to consider." His tone was relaxed, as if he was setting the menu with the imperial dining room.

The two brothers took a shower again, not knowing that the two unscrupulous fathers outside the door had heard their words clearly, and they were leaving quietly with twitching corners of their mouths.

Some distance away from the bathroom, Zhuang Ye finally couldn't help laughing.

Zhuang Yang was a little embarrassed when he heard Zhuang Yan say that he had hurt the princess's heart, but after the conversation between the two precious children, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Laughing loudly, I couldn't help poking his forehead with my finger like I did when I was a child: "Tell me about you, what have you taught my son to be like?" But as he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhuang Ye casually hooked Zhuang Yang's shoulders, his appearance really resembled Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Yu's getting along: "Tell me, what expression will father have when he hears the words of these two precious grandsons?"

Zhuang Yang said decisively: "Let people keep an eye on these two children. When they go to see the father, we must also be present. How can a father be absent when the son decides on life-long events?"

Oh, that silly kid in my family doesn't know what marriage is or what a wife is, and he just decides the important things in his life like a play. It's really hard to say what's good about him, but Zhuang Yang doesn't have the slightest idea. The meaning of stopping, hidden under the righteous words, is a heart to watch the excitement.

Sure enough, as Zhuang Ye's elder brother, Zhuang Yang was unreliable, which was enough to watch.
