[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

No.70 Five Chapters

The twelfth day of the second lunar month is the day for Lin Daiyu and Ji.

Lin Daiyu bathed and changed clothes early in the morning, and sat in the room wearing light-colored clothes.Madam Li and Li Hui, as the invited guests, performed the marriage ceremony for Lin Daiyu.Mother Jia watched as Lin Daiyu put on the hairpin that represented her adulthood, her long hair was pulled into a bun near the clouds, and she wore a golden begonia begonia. The oil-green heald skirt with twig patterns looks like she has grown up, and she sighs in her heart.

Jia Min took into account that she was Lin Daiyu's grandmother, so He Jili still invited Manchu people from the Second Mansion of Ning Rongguo Mansion to attend, but Jia Mu knew in her heart that her daughter and Rong Guo Mansion were getting more and more estranged.Although Baoyu also clamored to come out today, Jia Min's invitation clearly stated that only female guests were invited, so no matter how much Jia's mother was reluctant to let her precious lump be wronged, she had no choice but to ask people to watch him not to call out. He sneaked out, and what he cared about was that the in-law relationship between the two families continued to break up.

After seeing all the elders, Lin Daiyu invited a few girls to the backyard.What Jia Min meant was that she was already fifteen now, and she would be an adult after Jiji, so she naturally had to learn how to entertain guests by herself.Li Hui has always been on good terms with her, and this time being her admirer also helped a lot; there are also several daughters of his father's friends, so naturally they also have to entertain.

"Cousin Lin is about to get married." Ever since Jia Tanchun was brought into the palace by Jia Wanyi, Jia Xichun lived alone in Rongguo Mansion, and she developed her current quiet and aloof personality. Temperament, "We're getting together and scattered, and we don't know if we will have this chance to see you in the future."

"What did the fourth cousin say?" Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "It seems that you have been lonely for a long time, and you are becoming more and more cranky." I heard that Tanchun was taken into the palace. Although her mother was vague, Lin Daiyu also How much can you guess what it means.Among the former cousins, Xichun was the only one still living in Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Xichun also felt that he shouldn't say something frustrating at this time, so he smiled back, hugged the teacup and fell silent.

Li Hui twirled a piece of snack and put it into his mouth, said with a smile: "I went to see my cousin and nephew just now, and the nephew looks great! I heard that he has already given a name, called Huixuan?"

"Yes, my brother chose the name himself, and I also asked my father what it meant, so I put it on the genealogy when I thought it was good." Lin Daiyu replied with a smile, "By the way, my godmother sent me a fashionable one from Yangzhou before. The flower hairpins are said to be made according to the different flowers of the twelve months, everyone should pick two and go home."

Xueyan on one side took out the brocade box early on, put it on the table after listening to Lin Daiyu's words, and opened the brocade box.

There are gemstones of various colors and flower hairpins made of gilt. The shapes are different but lifelike, like flowers, which amazed even a few girls.

"I heard from my mother that most of the jewelry in Yangzhou is small and exquisite. If we pick out the ones that Sister Lin likes, Sister Lin must not be stingy." The youngest of their group of little sisters, "I like roses and Chinese roses, what about my sisters?"

"I like Dujuan and Shaoyao." Li Hui said.

"Is this a mandala flower?" Jia Xichun was originally indifferent, but when he glanced over, he saw a unique flower shape inlaid with broken diamonds, and asked.

"Yes." Lin Daiyu saw that Jia Xichun seemed to like it very much, so she took out the hairpin and put it on Jia Xichun's hair bun, "My sister looks good wearing it. I know my sister always likes peach blossoms, so my sister should also take this peach blossom hairpin." .”

"Thank you, Cousin Lin." Jia Xichun stroked the mandala hairpin on his head, and finally smiled slightly, "The peony and begonia are flowers with excellent meanings, so they are suitable for Cousin Lin. "Biaojie Lin, who is a banished fairy, also wears such good things.It's a pity that I come from such an aristocratic family, and in the future I will just be at the mercy of others, so I might as well twist my hair and become a sister-in-law.Thinking of this, there was a slight ruthlessness in his eyes.

This is something that none of the girls here noticed. Seeing her bowing her head in silence, Lin Daiyu thought she was so silent because she was not familiar with everyone. she went.

At the beginning of March, news came from the palace that the six palaces were sealed.Jia Yuanchun was promoted to Jia Jieyu of the third rank, Zhen Lan was promoted to the fourth rank Zhen Ronghua, Tong Guiren was promoted to the fifth rank Shun concubine, Zheng Changzai was promoted to the sixth rank Zheng Meiren, and An Xuan was promoted to the seventh rank An Changzai.Jia Tanchun, Jia Jieyu's younger sister, was also canonized as the seventh-rank permanent presence, and given a title, and people in the palace called him constant presence.Conversely, it was Concubine Kang who was reprimanded for "peeping at the emperor's traces and committing crimes".

And on May [-]th, Shi Xiangyun married into the Rongguo Mansion.The splendor of the wedding cannot be expressed in simple words. Everyone who attended Jia Lian's wedding banquet felt that the second son of the second wife was really favored. You are the heir to Rongguo Mansion!

No matter how good Xu's cultivation was, it almost broke the law. The coral bonsai in Baoyu's new house was left by the old Duke, and it should be reserved for Lian'er in name, but the old lady is really generous. They moved directly to the new house without discussing it with their big house.

On the second day of their wedding, Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun came out wearing bright red clothes to serve tea to the elders.Although Shi Xiangyun usually has a carefree temper, but this time she is a newlywed, her face is a little shy and rosy, the hand holding the tea bowl trembles slightly, and she feels as if she is dreaming.

After Jia's mother drank this cup of granddaughter-in-law's tea, she sent Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun to Wang's place.

Wang's heart is also happy, Shi Xiangyun's dowry is a total of 48 sets, which is more than she imagined.That set of rhinoceros horn water cups Mrs. Wang has already "secretly kept the old warehouse" and secretly sent it to the palace to be used by Jia Yuanchun; there are also some land lease deeds Mrs. Wang are very hot-eyed, but it's a pity that the mothers around Shi Xiangyun are not vegetarians either. No matter how many things can be seen, they will be put into the warehouse.

With such a rich daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang also "generously" handed over the power of the housekeeper to her. She only said that the affairs of the second room were all in the hands of her, the second grandma Bao. What do you not understand? Just ask her.

Shi Xiangyun didn't expect Wang to hand over the power of housekeeper to him so readily, and he was very happy in his heart. On the way back to his yard, he held Jia Baoyu's hand and chattered: "Brother love, the second wife is very kind to us." That's great. You promised me last night that you will make rouge and read the script with me today, so don't go back on your word."

Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun were childhood sweethearts, and they became husband and wife again last night, so they naturally agreed to Shi Xiangyun's request in every possible way, and when they returned, they ignored Xiren's hesitant appearance, and dragged Shi Xiangyun to the study.

Musk Moon glanced at Xi Ren, who was clearly in a state of despair, and seeing her clutching her belly, she slowly had a guess in her heart.After Yuanyang told Jiamu about the "facts" she saw that day, Jiamu scolded Hua Xiren by name and name, and she seemed to have fallen out of favor. It would definitely not be a good thing to ask her to stand up now.

"My lord, your majesty is turning over your signboard tonight, so you should prepare early." said Shihua, the aunt next to Jia Tanchun.

"Understood." Jia Tanchun replied nonchalantly, but still sat in front of the vanity mirror and remained motionless. She looked at herself with heavy makeup outlined in the mirror, and twitched the corners of her mouth in disdain.Ling often?This title is really funny, Jia Tanchun didn't dare to think about whether it was for the good intentions or for the clever words and flattery.I thought that entering the palace was just a good way out for me by my eldest sister, but I didn't realize that it was just asking her to give birth to a child to consolidate her favor.If she hadn't overheard Jia Yuanchun's conversation with Wang Shi that day, she would have been kept in the dark!The charming tricks she learned through enduring her shame, all she got in return were ridicule from others.

"My lord, why should you smile bitterly? No matter how many people ask for the favor of the emperor, you can't get it." Shihua comforted, "Although my lord lives in Fengzao Palace and lives under Jia Jieyu, as long as I strive hard, I can't help it." Stand out. The slaves only know that the emperor's favor and heirs are the most important thing, you look at Concubine Wu, hasn't she also calmed down after all these years?"

"You see it very clearly." I only hated myself for being blinded by the random flowers at the beginning, thinking that the Wang family would really think about her concubine daughter, but now looking back, I was really stupid.Now that she has entered the palace, Auntie and Huan'er don't know how they will be suppressed?Back then, it was absurd and unfilial for me to be close to my aunt and alienate my biological mother and younger brother!

"The slaves have been in the palace for many years, and they are more or less used to seeing these things." Shihua lowered her head and replied with a dull face, "In the past, the Grand Concubine Gui and Concubine An were so fond of the Emperor, but now they are still Do you have to listen to the Empress Dowager? The slaves have served the nobles before, and they understand the truth of this. The Empress not only assigns the slaves to serve the young master, but also has pity for the young master."

Sure enough, no matter how favored my sister is, how can she compare to the queen?She was so stupid to recommend her own sisters, even though the emperor accepted her, the people in the palace probably didn't like her even more.No matter what, since they entered the palace, any affection between sisters is just a joke.What's more, Jia Yuanchun has never had sisterly feelings for her. For her own future, why doesn't she come to "a good bird chooses a tree to live in?"

"I also know that the Empress is always gentle with her concubines. I'll go and greet the Empress tomorrow." Jia Tanchun took off the red gold pomegranate hairpin that Jia Yuanchun "rewarded" on his head, "The Empress before The empress gave me a pair of red gold ruby ​​butterfly flower hairpins, I found them and I will wear them to the emperor tonight."

"Yes." Seeing that Jia Tanchun's mind had changed, Shihua smiled slightly, brought a set of rouge-colored silk embroidered begonia spring sleep light gauze clothes, and helped Jia Tanchun to wash and bathe.
