The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, Daiyu was woken up by the twinkling voices of the twins outside the door.

"Brother and sister-in-law, get up quickly, go to Zhuangzi, get up quickly..." The twins got up excitedly early in the morning, and they didn't know where they got so much energy.

Daiyu opened her eyes, and saw that she was nestled in Zhuang Yu's arms, and Zhuang Yu had already woken up, with a sullen face and gnashing of teeth.

Daiyu somehow remembered what Zhuang Yan said, "the face is so dark", and couldn't help but find it funny.

Seeing that Daiyu woke up, Zhuang Yu lowered his head and kissed Daiyu's forehead, and said, "Go on to sleep, I'll go out and get rid of those two little devils."

Daiyu watched Zhuang Yu get up and put on his clothes, opened the door aggressively and went out, rubbed the warm quilt, found that his waist was weak and his legs were weak, and he didn't want to get up at all, although he still wanted to get up early so as not to disturb the two little ones. joke, but still fell asleep involuntarily.

When he woke up again, it was already daylight.

Daiyu hurriedly called people in, and the waiters outside the door were Xueyan and Xuelu. Daiyu's original maids were all married, and Xueyan and Xuelu, who were originally second-class maids, were now Daiyu's personal servants. One of the four maids.

Daiyu asked, and when she knew that it was almost noon, she said anxiously, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Xueyan smiled and said: "My concubine, don't worry, my son said, check the carriage and salute in the morning, have a meal at noon before setting off, and at night just go to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot spring to relieve fatigue. It would be the best."

I also know that this is Zhuang Yu's excuse in order to let Daiyu sleep more, but no one will expose it. Anyway, when he is out of the house, horses and vehicles should be inspected carefully. Now it's okay to check it a few times It's just a matter of replacing some parts that may be aging.

After Daiyu blushed and had lunch with Qiu Qingyu and others, Zhuang Yu carried a fat boy in one hand, and Daiyu went out with the support of Xueyan and Xuelu.

The carriage of Prince Chengke's Mansion is not gorgeous in appearance, but it is the most durable and has a very good defensive performance. Perhaps this is a habit that has always been developed as a soldier.Therefore, it was not a lie that Zhuang Yu spent the whole morning checking and arranging the carriage. He spread a thick mattress inside the carriage, so that the bumps of the carriage would not make Daiyu feel too uncomfortable.

The horses that pull the carts are not good horses. Since Zhuang Ye came into existence in this world, all the officials and nobles in the capital can no longer live the happy life of a horse drawn by a horse drawn by a horse.

Zhuang Ye loves horses, but he doesn't like hoarding horses in his mansion. Except for the mounts of him, Zhuang Yu and the guards, the horses that pull the carriages in Prince Chengke's mansion are all ordinary horses bought from the horse market. The biggest feature is that it walks steadily, but its speed is not fast.

Both Zhuang Ye and his son have the same habit. Once they harvest good horses, they will be sent to the barracks to be trained as war horses.In the words of their father and son, a good war horse should gallop on the battlefield or in the wilderness, instead of being kept in a stable. Not only can it not run, but it should also be used to pull carts. The blasphemy of the foal.

The most important reason is that cavalry with a good horse as a partner can greatly increase the chances of winning the battle and surviving. Therefore, if a good horse is used as a mount, Zhuang Ye has nothing to do with it, but if it is used as a cart Zhuang Ye will feel that this is an act of recklessness, and he will never see it.

And people who have done this kind of violent behavior, such as the eldest prince Zhuang Wei, the king of Beijing County Shui Rong, etc., have all lost their beloved horses -- they were forcibly "requisitioned" by Zhuang Ye and finally obtained. The good horses, said to let them go where they should go most, were sent to the barracks to be trained as war horses, and they could gallop freely on the wide training ground every day.

And when Zhuang Ye was impeached by the imperial envoy because of this matter, Emperor Chunyou reprimanded him verbally, but turned around and gave Zhuang Ye several peerless horses that Xirong had brought as a tribute. Zhuang Ye was ecstatic, and that day He drove these horses to the barracks, conducted a horse training ceremony, and found new owners for these horses.

At this point, Emperor Chunyou's meaning is self-evident, and there will be no one who can't wait to hold on to this matter to make Zhuang Ye feel bad.

Since then, the quality of the horses used to pull carts in the homes of aristocrats, officials and generals in the capital has directly dropped by a notch.

Even Emperor Chunyou set an example and sent good horses to the military camp. Who would dare to keep a thousand-mile-long horse as a chariot?It's better to be conscious and send the horse to Prince Chengke, lest he "requisition the horse" come to the door and be inferior instead.

During that time, Zhuang Ye put away the horse until he was grinning.Even if someone called him a "horse robber" in private, he didn't care at all.

Daiyu sat on the thickly padded mattress, and the horse's steady pace made the carriage not too bumpy.

After riding with the twins for a while, Zhuang Yu arranged for them to rest in the carriage at the back, and told someone to watch them and not let them run around, and then got back into Daiyu's carriage.

Daiyu slept a lot in the morning, although she still felt a little sore in her back, she couldn't fall asleep, and she was holding a book at the moment and wandering in the void.

As soon as Zhuang Yu got into the carriage, he stretched out his long arms, took Daiyu into his arms and lay down.

Daiyu let out a low cry, quickly covered her mouth, gave Zhuang Yu a hard look, and propped up Zhuang Yu's chest, trying to sit up. Zhuang Yu's body was so hard that it was not as comfortable as the mattress underneath. .

Zhuang Yu didn't let go, he yawned and said, "Dai'er, let me sleep for a while, I didn't sleep enough yesterday, and I've been tossing around with the two bastards for a long time, I'm really tired."

Daiyu stretched out her hand to pinch him, but she didn't move. What do you mean by "didn't sleep enough yesterday"?It's not that he is fooling around.

But seeing that Zhuang Yu seemed really sleepy, Daiyu didn't want to bother her, so she turned over and found a comfortable position, planning to lie down with Zhuang Yu for a while, and get up by herself when he fell asleep.

But for some reason, listening to Zhuang Yu's steady breathing, Daiyu felt her eyelids became heavy, and fell asleep at some point.

Zhuang Yu opened his eyes quietly, saw Daiyu asleep, smiled quietly, and finally relaxed and fell asleep.When he was training in the military camp, it was not uncommon for him to stay up for several days and nights. How could he be tired because of the so-called "tiredness" of this day?

He just wanted to trick Daiyu into taking a good rest with him, so that he would have the energy to go to the hot spring together at night.

Zhuang Yu and Daiyu took the twins away, and Qiu Qingyu was really uncomfortable for a while, feeling that the huge palace suddenly became much more empty and deserted.

Hearing that the servants reported that Jia's family had come to deliver a post to Daiyu, Qiu Qingyu's awkward mood suddenly changed, and she asked someone to dismiss her casually, saying that Daiyu had gone out of the city with Zhuang Yu, and the date of return was uncertain. .

When Jia's mother got the news, although she was worried, she couldn't help it. She only blamed her post for being late.It was also because she was wrong. This Daiyu and Princess Chengke have the same love as mother and daughter. Naturally, they are not like ordinary new wives entering the house. Let the young couple go to Zhuangzi outside Beijing to play.

Mrs. Wang was at Jia's mother's place, and she also heard the news, but she couldn't tell what she felt. She was very conflicted in her heart. She didn't want to be honored by Jia Min's daughter, but she couldn't let go of what Daiyu's identity could do for Jia's family. brought honor.But in the final analysis, it was Daiyu who left at the wrong time. She had long been used to this way of thinking. No matter what happened, if it didn't go her way, it must be someone else's fault.

Wang Xifeng sat at the head of Mrs. Xing. She is pregnant now and her belly is quite big. Mother Jia naturally gave her grace, and Mrs. Xing did not dare to ask Wang Xifeng to set rules for her.Ever since Wang Xifeng hinted to Mrs. Xing that if the first wife had no sons, the title of Jia Lian might fall to the second wife Jia Baoyu, so Mrs. Xing has attached great importance to the fetus in Wang Xifeng's womb. The eldest son of the second sister You was born, but this son and the eldest son are completely incomparable. Wang Xifeng thinks that this is the eldest son and grandson of Dafang.

Relying on the child in her womb, Wang Xifeng finally gained a firm foothold in Jia's family again, but she was no longer as sharp-edged as before, striving to be the first in everything.Now that he heard the news, he comforted Jia Mu with a smile and said: "The old ancestor should feel happy. The relationship between the concubine and the son is so deep, and the concubine treats her so considerately. It is the concubine's blessing. Say no." When you get back to Beijing, you can come back pregnant with a child!"

Mother Jia also nodded with a smile when she heard this, but she still felt that Daiyu was estranged from the Jia family, and she felt a little regretful and uneasy.

Jia's mother was not in high spirits, and she lost her energy, so she said to the two children in their early ten years who were sitting in the last seat: "Your concubine and sister are not free, and there is still a banquet to clean up the dust for you, so let you Lian's second sister-in-law is here to host, you brothers and sisters are very lively and lively, and you are also very close."

Jia Baoyu is now 16 years old, still fair-skinned, with a face like a full moon, and the expression on his face is still very innocent. At this time, he is still sitting affectionately against Jia Mu, looking at the person sitting below with burning eyes. The two cousins ​​said: "Don't worry, old ancestor. I was very happy when I saw Sister Lin and Brother Ran. It seems that I have known each other for a long time. I will treat them well and make them feel at home as if they are at home."

Li Lin and Li Ran both got up and thanked each other, they looked very mature at such a young age.

Li Lin and Li Ran are the children of Jia Xiu, the concubine of Jia's mother. They are twins. He died, and Li Lin and Li Ran were also weak and sick every day.Their father has been passed down for several generations, and only their two children were sick last year. The elder brothers who had a rift with him in the clan began to plot against their family. Father Li was worried that the two children would suffer, so he had no choice but to transfer the two children. The children were entrusted to the wife's natal family, and they did not ask the Jia family to do their best for the two children. They only wanted to raise the two children to adulthood for the sake of the large sum of money they brought with them. Support, to see their good fortune.

The author has something to say: The first four chapters have been revised. I wrote the names of the twins and the third child wrongly. The names of the twins should be the second child Zhuang Xi and the third child Zhuang Yan. It was written as Zhuang Zhuo before, and Zhuang Zhuo should be Chunyou. The four princes of the emperor, there are too many characters, with various names, and they are all confused...

I hope that everyone will not be too confused when they see the names of Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Zhuo...

ashamed to lose...
