[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

No.70 What I saw and heard after seven marriages

Both Yu Chixun and the Xia family are very sensible, the newlyweds don't need them to serve them in front of them for two days, and they are asked to live in their yard.On the third day after they got married, Yuchi Hongming and Lin Daiyu got up early to freshen up, went to the main courtyard to pay their respects to the two elders, and returned to the Lin Mansion with the gifts they had prepared long ago.

Lin Ruhai and Lin Jinshu also took a special vacation today, waiting for the arrival of the young couple.Yuchi Hongming went to the front hall to talk to the two men from the Lin family, while Lin Daiyu went to the back.Jia Min saw that she was wearing a red satin dress with patterned makeup, a lavender plum pattern satin gown with a lapel, and a tourmaline and ruby ​​headgear, which made her look extraordinarily energetic.

"Sit down, Huiyun, serve tea." Jia Min said with a smile.

"Looking at my sister's ruddy face, I know that my brother-in-law must be in harmony." Li En also came out with his son in his arms.

Lin Daiyu blushed slightly, but she didn't deny it, she just glanced at Li En and said, "Sister-in-law is getting better at telling jokes."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was doing well, Jia Min finally felt relieved.Yuchi's family was very strict in family education, and Yuchi Hongming was the candidate she picked out after inquiring with Lin Ruhai several times, and she thought it would not be too bad, so she said, "Seeing that you are doing well, I am relieved. The way of husband and wife The most important thing is to be honest, you and your son-in-law will have to spend the rest of your life in the future, mother can't teach you these things, you have to figure it out yourself."

"My daughter knows." Lin Daiyu pursed her lips slightly and smiled.

At this time, Huixuan, who was being held by Li En, seemed to be hungry, and started to make a fuss while crying.Li En had no choice but to carry him down, leaving Lin Daiyu and Jia Min to continue talking.

Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Mother, do you know that your husband has two younger sisters, twins?"

"I've inquired about this, so of course I know, what's wrong?" Jia Min asked.

Lin Daiyu then told about Yuchi Hongming's behavior that day, and said: "Looking at your husband's appearance, it seems that he doesn't like the two younger sisters very much." Lin Daiyu only has an elder brother with the same father and the same mother, and has never had any brothers and sisters who were born in concubine. He was also not sure how to get along with these two younger sisters.

Jia Min pondered for a while, and said: "You are their sister-in-law, and it's not a problem to see each other often. According to you, it seems that the biological mothers of these two girls made a big mistake. That's why I can't raise my own daughter myself. If that's the case, it's just a face-to-face relationship." Yuchi's family will definitely be inherited by Yuchi Hongming in the future, and the two little girls will get married sooner or later, so it's not a big problem .

"Daughter understands." Lin Daiyu thought for a while and knew roughly what she should do, then nodded with a smile.

"According to the performance of the son-in-law, I'm afraid he hates the son-in-law and the daughter-in-law very much. You should take good care of it and spread the branches and leaves for the son-in-law as soon as possible." After marrying a daughter, she is worried about whether she will live well in her husband's house and whether she can give birth as soon as possible. The next son.Jia Min asked Cui Liu to hand over a package, "Here are some medicinal materials that are good for women's health, remember to stew those donkey-hide gelatin."

"Mother is thoughtful of me."

The days passed quickly, and on New Year's Eve, Lin Daiyu finally had the opportunity to meet Yuchi Hongming's two concubines.Both were born on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, and will be ten years old this year.The older of the twins is named Yu Chiyue, and the younger is named Yu Chiming. Although they look the same, Yu Chiyue has a mole at the corner of her eye, which Yu Chiming doesn't have.

Aunt He educated them very well, Yu Chiyue was quieter, while Yu Chiming was more lively, but both of them knew the rules very well, and they saluted and greeted them perfectly.Lin Daiyu observed carefully, the aunt named Liu was not allowed to come out even on New Year's Eve, and everyone present seemed to be used to it.

Although Xia Shi hated the biological mothers of the two girls, she was unwilling to tarnish her reputation because of that bitch. After talking to Yu Chixun for a few words, someone called Aunt Liu to watch the new year together—naturally, they These masters were sitting, and Aunt He and Aunt Liu could only stand.

In all fairness, Aunt Liu's appearance is not bad, and she must have been a beauty when she was young.Lin Daiyu saw that she was wearing a light blue dress with silver thread circle blessing patterns, and two silver hairpins inlaid with beeswax stones on her hair bun. Her soft and weak appearance made people feel affectionate.It's a pity that he made a wrong step at the beginning, and ended up in such an unpopular situation that he couldn't even keep his two daughters by his side.

Yu Chiming was still a little excited after seeing his biological mother, but Yu Chiyue looked calm, as if the person who just walked in was just an ordinary person.Lin Daiyu suddenly thought of Jia Tanchun, and still remembered that Jia Tanchun was close to his aunt in every possible way, but unfortunately, since she entered the palace, there was no news of her anymore.

"What are you thinking about?" Yuchi Hongming asked in a low voice when he saw his wife was in a daze.

"It's just a thought of something interesting about the New Year's Eve at home." Lin Daiyu smiled back.

"You're tired, it will be fine in a few hours." Yuchi's family was going to eat the first meal of the new year at midnight, so naturally they had to wait.

Fu chatted for a while, and when the bell at home rang, he knew it was time. After ordering the servants outside to set off firecrackers, everyone began to eat.Naturally, there must be dumplings on the dining table. Although Lin Daiyu had eaten dim sum before, she was still a little hungry, and she sat down to eat after serving Xia family a chopsticks of shredded chicken and a bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup.Looking at Aunt Liu standing behind Mrs. Xia, Lin Daiyu finally understood what Mrs. Xia called her to come: she wanted Mrs. Liu to see her daughters, Cheng Huan, under Mrs. He's knees, and she wanted her to stand and serve her, but she couldn't get her husband. Half a wink, this is the greatest revenge.

My own mother-in-law is not bad at all.

Not long after the new year, Lin Daiyu heard the news that Jia Baoyu's eldest daughter, the second son of the Rongguo Mansion, was born. Counting the days silently, she knew that the child was born before full term.The Yuchi family has no relationship with the Jia family, and the only one involved, Wang Ziteng, the head of the Wang family, is still in his post, so Lin Daiyu is happy not to worry about what gift to give.

Shi Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Xiren had given birth to a daughter.Taking advantage of Xiren's pregnancy and childbirth, she wins over Sheyue and seizes all of Jia Baoyu's favor.Now that Musk Moon is Jia Baoyu's housewife and her confidant, even if Xiren is confinement, life will not be so easy again.It's a pity that she still has no good news, otherwise she could take this opportunity to attack Xi Ren's shameless slave.

Yuchi Hongming is now only the first-class bodyguard in the palace, so Lin Daiyu does not have the title of wife for the time being, but she can also enter the palace with the Queen's summons.

This time in the Queen's Fengyi Palace, Lin Daiyu also met Li Hui who was also married as a wife.The two women met for the first time after they got married, so they were naturally happy.

"I know you little sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so I specially asked you to come here, firstly, to give you a chance to meet and talk, and secondly, to tell me about your respective situations." The queen is now more graceful and luxurious, and she has a son Chenghuan At the knees, there are four adopted daughters, the princesses, who can be described as having both sons and daughters.

"The empress is very good to slaves." Li Hui replied first.Because she doesn't have the title of wife, she can't refer to herself as a "concubine" for the time being. "Slaves are following their mothers to learn how to be housekeepers these days, so they don't have time."

The "mother" Li Hui mentioned was Zhou Shi, the birth mother of her husband, Chen Yanwen.The Chen family is a family of civil servants for generations, and Chen Yanwen is the only son in the family. Madam Li took a long time to choose this marriage.

"The slave is the same. My mother is not in good health, so now I leave the affairs of the yard to the slave. The slave took over at the beginning, but I can't handle it." Lin Daiyu replied.The days after the next year will be her busiest time, and the Xia family has readily handed over the management power of their yard to her. She has been dizzy with busy work these days, and she finally sorted out some thoughts.

"It's like this after you get married. You have to get acquainted with each other slowly." The queen smiled, "Seeing that you sisters are married well, I am also happy. You entered the palace when you were seven or eight years old. It's been ten years now."

"Yes, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye." Li Hui said.Zhuang Wanrou married Prince Gong. Although she is a princess now, her life is not very happy. Prince Gong doesn't like this gentle wife very much, but prefers the charming and coquettish side concubine; Wang Wen married to another place. I heard that Her husband's family was a military officer with a bright personality, which probably matched her disposition; Wu Xuanrong was married to the eldest son of the prefect of Huizhou, and is no longer in Beijing.

Lin Daiyu thought of the little sisters in Yangzhou.Yao Xing was handed over to Queen An, but she was in harmony with King An Qinse, and the two already had a pair of children; Teng Lin promised to a Juren in Yangzhou, and now she has both sons and daughters; Yang Zimei married Chen Muran's second son, Now I am very happy in Yangzhou.The days really passed by in the blink of an eye.

"It reminds me of my sisters in Yangzhou." Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "Thinking that they are living a very good life now, I am also happy for them."

"You little girls from the past are all married, but I am old."

"The empress is not old, she looks no different from us." Li Hui said with a smile, "Didn't the fourth prince still say that the empress is the most beautiful person he has ever seen."

"You child, you have become more and more talkative after you get married." The queen smiled, "But I remember that many concubines in the palace have not been home for a long time. The emperor has that meaning, it is called the concubines of the fourth rank and above in the palace. Build a family visitation garden at home, so that these concubines can go home and have a look. I have already told the wives, and this time I want you to know the news."

"That's also the grace of the emperor." Li Hui was not surprised, but said plainly.

Lin Daiyu's heart moved, there were not many concubines above the fourth rank in the palace, and her eldest cousin was one of them.Did the emperor really just allow the concubines to go home to visit relatives, or did he have other ideas?
