[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

No.70 Four episodes of engagement in Xiangyun, Jia Baoyu

"Ma'am, the Rongguo Mansion has sent a post, saying that they have made a marriage arrangement for the Second Master Bao of the Rongguo Mansion." Cui Liu said.

Jia Min was watching Lin Daiyu embroidering her own wedding dress. After hearing Cui Liu's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Which family will you decide?" Without Xue Baochai, could it be Shi Xiangyun?

"It's the historian's girl." Cui Liu replied, "I heard that Bao Linghou has transported all the things that Mrs. Smith has taken care of for so many years back to Zhongjinghou's mansion, and is waiting for Mrs. Smith to marry from Zhongjinghou's mansion. What Shi Nai meant was that their family is far away in office, and this time they won't be able to come back to attend the wedding.But Shi Nai was also smart, although she didn't like Shi Xiangyun, she didn't dare to swallow the belongings Shi Xiangyun's parents had left for her, and sealed them all with good luck and returned to Beijing.

"I think I'm married to the Shi family." Jia Min glanced at Lin Daiyu who didn't move her eyebrows after hearing the news, "Has the girl from the Shi family taken back to Zhongjinghou's mansion?"

"That's right, I've gone back since we made the marriage arrangements." Cui Liu has already asked people who came here clearly, and finally there is nothing wrong with living together in the same house, "I heard that Mrs. Zhongjinghou is now teaching According to Smith's rules, the wedding date has also been fixed, which will be in May next year."

"May? It's too urgent." Now it's October, is half a year enough time to prepare for a wedding?Not to mention making furniture, it takes time to tailor jewelry and clothes for newlyweds.Although her family's Yu'er's marriage is also scheduled for next year, it will be after September, and it will take more than a year to prepare.

"I heard that Mrs. Zhongjinghou prepared the dowry early on. In addition to the things that were brought back, it is almost ready. Furniture, new clothes, and decorations can be added as appropriate." Cui Liu replied.

That's right, she wasn't her own daughter at all, so that's what she meant.Jia Min nodded and said: "Forget it, as an aunt, I also want to add some makeup, and I can't let others say that our family is not polite. Yu'er, tell me, what should we add? "This is to judge Lin Daiyu with Shi Xiangyun's makeup.

Lin Daiyu put down the embroidery needle in her hand, and after thinking about it carefully, she said: "After all, the historian doesn't have much close contact with our family, and I only met that sister of the historian two or three times. Since it's just for makeup, why not add a pair of cloisonné enamel?" The target mirror painted with flowers and birds that have been in harmony for a hundred years, and a pair of porcelain plum vases with blue and white ground and lotus patterns are all good omens, and they are good choices for use or decoration. Mom, how about it?"

"That's good, it sounds festive." Jia Min didn't want to add too many things, so he took the paper and scribbled on it, then handed it to Cui Liu, "Take it to the warehouse, let's see and pack it up." Shi Xiangyun hadn't finished yet, So there is no need to send it to her so soon, it is not too late to send it to Zhongjinghou's mansion when she is about to get married.

After learning that he was engaged to Shi Xiangyun, Jia Baoyu didn't know how he felt. Although he felt that it was a good thing for Sister Yun to be by his side for a long time, but his heart was always empty. It can't fill the emptiness inside.

Mrs. Wang had already appointed Xiren to be his roommate, and now she has officially opened her face.Although he is just a roommate, but now Xiren insists that he is the number one celebrity around Jia Baoyu, and he doesn't give face to Sheyue and others, and he doesn't look like a virtuous person in the past.Qingwen has a temperament like explosive carbon, and she couldn't hold back after being provoked a few times. She copied it several times with the attacker, but Wang felt that Qingwen was a jealous person, and she was easily dismissed by tricks. Go with the boy.

The person Qingwen married was the son of Jia's family, the son of a manager in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.Seeing that Jia Baoyu had no intention of interceding with her at all, Qingwen gave up her mind and resigned to her fate to get married.Her husband-in-law is a good man, honest and sincere, but Wang's hand made Qingwen a good marriage.

"Sister Xiren is really a good trick. She sent that Qingwen away easily." Seeing Qingwen's fate, Qianxue quickly changed her attitude, and she was very flattering towards Xiren, "It's just me During the night watch last night, I always heard Second Master Bao sighing, and I don’t know what’s going on, can my sister find out?”

"Second Master Bao has always had such a temperament. It's not like you don't know. He treats us girls very well. Maybe it's just that he feels a little bit sad when he hears that Qingwen is getting married. He will be fine in a few days." Xiren didn't Seeing Qianxue as his competitor, he said, "In the past, the second master Bao liked his older sisters to play with, but now the second girl is getting married, the third girl wants to discuss marriage, and the Xue family girl has also moved away. Miss Smith also went back to the Zhongjinghou Mansion, so he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable."

"That's right, our Second Master Bao knows how to cherish and protect flowers the most." Qianxue heard someone outside, and said, "Sister Xiren sit down again, I'll go see who is here."

When I opened the curtain, I saw the mandarin duck beside the old lady.Xiren hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and got up to greet him, and said: "What kind of wind is it today that brought you here?"

Yuanyang just saw Xiren sitting there with a big face, but asked Qianxue to come out to meet the guests, but she was always tight-lipped and didn't say anything easily, she just smiled and said: "It was the old lady who asked me to send the decorations." The coral bonsai in the new house is said to be an authentic gift from the old Duke. Where do you think it should be placed?"

"Let's put away such a precious thing first." Xiren was a little stunned. In the past, the second master Lian's marriage was just placed at a banquet to welcome guests, but this time it was actually placed in the new house. It can be seen that the old man How much my wife likes Master Bao, "It's too precious, and it's not suitable for displaying now."

"You are the big girl in this room, you can make up your own mind." Yuanyang smiled, "I have to go back to the old lady, so I won't bother you for now." After saying that, she smiled at Qianxue and left .

Qianxue twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, and smiled without saying a word.That girl Qingwen is stupid to fall into your trap.She, Qianxue, was not an ordinary person, so naturally she would not give up the chance to become the second master and aunt of Bao so easily.Who will win the game has not really been decided yet, just wait and see!

Jia Yuanchun didn't feel at ease until the good news came from Wang's entry into the palace. Knowing that the marriage between Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun had been decided, he asked Baoqin to hand over the gift he had prepared to Wang, saying: "This It's a gift from me to Baoyu, and my mother remembers to give it to him." After all, he was the younger brother who he took care of since he was a child, and Jia Yuanchun would not be stingy with any good things. "In addition to two pairs of flower and bird jade pendants, there are also necklaces and Yingluo, I ordered the people from the Department of Internal Affairs to build it."

"After all, the young master still misses Baoyu's child." Wang said, "I saw that girl Shi Xiangyun lost her father and mother, and the dowry must not be very rich, but I didn't want that girl's parents to leave her a lot. Good thing. I looked at the dowry list and found that there is a good set of rhino horn cups, and I will give it to the young master after she marries in." Now she is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law-to-be.

"There are a lot of rhinoceros horn cups in this palace, and I don't care about hers." Jia Yuanchun has been proud of the spring breeze recently, and An Xuan has not had a face for a long time because of the cold, and the emperor may forget about such a new favorite.Zheng Changzai was slapped twenty times by Concubine Kang for offending Concubine Kang, and she is still recovering from her injuries. "It's the third sister, how is your mother's training?"

"According to the young master's instructions, I have already trained it." After all, it is the daughter born by the aunt, and she learns things about being charming and petting very quickly.Wang said, "It's just that it's winter now, the young master needs me to send her to the palace right now?"

"Send it in. I have asked the emperor for an imperial edict, saying that I hope my younger sister will come to the palace to spend the winter with me, and the emperor has already agreed." Jia Yuanchun is full of ambition, and now the woman who favors the sixth palace is finally no one else. A separate room has been set aside for her, and mother will pack her clothes and jewelry after she returns today, and ask someone to send her into the palace."

The better the emperor treats her, the more unwilling Jia Yuanchun is to be unable to have children.The imperial physician in the palace had already told her that because she was born prematurely and was congenitally weak, although she looked healthy now, her fundamental condition was not very good.In addition, when she was a female official, she suffered from an illness, and her body was even weaker. She had to recuperate slowly before she could have a chance to conceive a dragon seed, so it was imperative for Jia Tanchun to enter the palace.

"I understand." Mrs. Wang observed carefully and saw that her daughter's palace was resplendent and magnificent, and many things that were not for Wanyi's place were placed there, so she said happily, "Although the young master is only Wanyi, this palace However, the decorations here are not inferior to the other empresses in the slightest. After all, the emperor likes the young master. I heard that only five of the three pine, cypress and plum orchid screens were paid tribute, except for the empress empress, Wu Guifei, Xian Concubine and Concubine Kang are only here with the young master."

"That's nothing more than the emperor's grace." Although Jia Yuanchun said this, the pride and complacency on his face were beyond words, "Didn't Zhen Lan be favored at the beginning, and now she is not as good as me. Speaking of which, she is a little instrument. It's been a long time, it's just that the Empress has been suppressing her and not asking her to be promoted."

"The empress is shrewd. If she is promoted again, what if she is still as disobedient as before?" Mrs. Wang joked, "Now, I just hope that the young master can have great fortune in the palace. I hope that Baoyu will get married soon and give me a big fat grandson, and then tell him to study well and have a good future, so I can rest assured to be my old lady."

"Isn't that simple?" Jia Yuanchun is very popular now, many people in the palace are fawning, and it's just a little finger movement to inquire about the news. "I heard that the emperor intends to seal the Sixth Palace next year. As long as I can firmly grasp the emperor's heart during this period of time, I may not lose my share."

"Really?" Wang was pleasantly surprised, "Then wait for the good news from the young master."

Jia Yuanchun smiled confidently.Even if she can't be promoted by grace, she still has evidence that Concubine Kang "poisoned" Concubine Duan and "murdered" the emperor's heir!
