New Dream of Red Mansions

At that time, the old lady said that when Wang Xiyan came back, she would post a post to invite her to come to her house as a guest, but she did not expect that Jia Yuanchun would suddenly be named a noble concubine, because the fourth concubine was placed under house arrest by the fourth prince, and the fourth concubine was in the harem after being named a queen. It's a bit difficult. At this time, as the empress's natal family, if they get closer to Jia's house, they may attract criticism and lower their status.

What's more, there was no intersection between Pingyang Marquis Mansion and Rongguo Mansion before.

The old lady could only restrain her temper first, but she couldn't find a chance to meet each other this year.

It's strange to say that the Jia's mansion is strange, although they can also go out to banquets, they never bring out the girls from home, let alone the girls who live here?

Although Mrs. Zhou didn't know why the old lady suddenly became interested in the banquet in Beijing, but seeing that her eyes were always looking at those young girls, she thought she understood.Xia Yuntian has also reached the age to talk about marriage. Although he is in the filial piety now, it is still okay to take a look first.

Xia Yuntian finally agreed, but he didn't agree with Zhang Shicheng's sudden attack. This was not done by a gentleman. He sent a message to Guanshi Zhuang, hoping to meet Wang Xiyan.

Zhang Shicheng sneered, and really wanted to mock Xia Yuntian, but Xia Yuntian's external behavior in the past two years has become more and more like that so-called gentleman, and he has lost his former unruly temperament, but Zhang Shicheng, who is familiar with his movements, can still see He was just suppressing himself, at least his heart was still the same as before.

"Jia's family and Ou's family are both visiting relatives, so the queen sister has never thought of coming back?"

Xia Yuntian said indifferently: "My sister is different from them. She wants to see us, so she just sends someone to call her. Why bother to waste money? What's more, our Xia family doesn't have that much money."

Zhang Shicheng curled his lips, "It didn't exist before, but now it does." Back then, the old Hou Ye donated most of his family's wealth to the military pay, and the last war Tai Furen sold a lot, and the Pingyang Hou Mansion was almost emptied. .If it was the Pingyang Marquis in the past, he might have thought about living frugally and saving money, but Xia Yuntian was not so honest, he directly found someone to cooperate to buy things from outside the customs, and he took half of the shares.

And there are his soldiers outside the pass, opening the door to convenience.In just one year, the things Mrs. Tai sold last year were redeemed.

When Xiyan received the news, confusion flashed in her eyes. She didn't know what Pingyang Hou was looking for her, but Zhuang Guanshi had to think more. In the past year, the girl didn't know, but he was aware of it. Pingyang Hou secretly helped There are many girls.

Now the young master is still young, and it will take many years to support the family, and there are always times when relying on Jiamu is not reliable, it would be better if he could win more power.What's more, the relationship between their Wang family and Xia family is now entangled and it is hard to tell who owes whom. If the girl can meet Pingyanghou and get closer in the future, it will only benefit the girl and the young master.

So Guanshi Zhuang strongly agreed that Xiyan should go to see Pingyanghou.

Xiyan frowned and said, "The time is a bit tight that day, and Brother Lin and the others will all go, I'm afraid it's inconvenient."

"But it's rare for the girl to go out for a trip. If I miss this time, I don't know when I will wait." Can't let Pingyang Hou fly in? "Master Lin is greeted by the young master, and Miss Lin's place is also easy to handle, just let Dongmei stay with Miss Lin."

Xiyan's eyes lit up, "Why don't you let brother Yu go to see him?"

Manager Zhuang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's not right, girl, we didn't tell the young master what happened last time, what's more, there are too many people around the young master, if someone accidentally leaks the news..."

Xiyan was silent for a moment.

Although the fourth prince inherited the throne, the Supreme Emperor is still there. Let alone the third prince and the eighth prince, even the abolished prince is still standing. Now the emperor has to ask the Supreme Emperor to make a big decision, and Prince Cheng and Prince Lian are in charge of the court. If they were to find out about the important position, Marquis Pingyang had the ability to escape, but she and Brother Yu didn't have the ability.

"Okay, then make an appointment with Marquis Pingyang, and I will meet him in person."

Manager Zhuang responded.

Xiyan was the Manager Zhuang whom she met in Brother You's study, and when she was walking back, she heard Baochai say at the door: "...Sister Lin must look very good in this dress."

When Daiyu heard the movement at the door, she turned her head and saw that it was Xiyan, so she hurriedly pulled her over, "It's just in time for you to come back, the custom-made dress is ready, put it on and show me." She took out a dress Apricot yellow satin embroidered peony branches round neck double placket.

Xiyan looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "The clothes are really well made." Then I went to see Tanchun and Yingchun, and found that everyone's clothes were similar, but the embroidery on the sleeves was slightly different. wore?"

Yingchun said: "How can I get it in time? No, we will come to you. The fourth sister said that it will look good if you wear it together."

Tanchun said with regret: "It's a pity that sister Lin still values ​​filial piety."

Xiyan smiled and said: "What's the matter, just wait for Sister Lin to change into the filial piety, let's try to change it first." Seeing that Baochai didn't move, she said curiously: "Sister, come together."

Baochai said with a smile, "I haven't finished mine yet, so you can change it and show me."

Xiyan didn't understand, so everyone got it, why didn't Baochai get it?

Tanchun pulled Xiyan into the house, glanced at Yingchun and Xichun, and said with a smile: "Sister Bao's clothes were made by my aunt herself, but they are not in the same place as ours."

Yingchun nodded, "Sister Bao is different from us, she owns all her food and clothing."

Tanchun shook his head dumbfounded, Xichun's eyes were still a little confused.

"That's true!" Xiyan didn't take it to heart, if she had this freedom, she would naturally like to set her own clothes.

Several people changed into clothes, except for the clothes, even the golden phoenix with pearls and silk on their heads were the same. They put on their makeup and looked at each other. Yingchun pointed to Xiyan and said with a smile: "This one is pretty. The end of the rich and elegant."

But Xiyan looked at Tanchun and said, "It's still the third sister who looks good in clothes, and she's always capable and sharp."

Tanchun felt that Yingchun was gentle and approachable, but Xichun pouted and said, "I think I look good in clothes."

Daiyu heard the commotion outside, and ran in without waiting for them to go out, just in time to hear this sentence, pinched Xichun's face and said: "No, she is the most lively and pretty lady."

Xichun scratched her and said, "I know you are teasing me, and you can't say anything good with your mouth."

Daiyu giggled as she chased her.

When Baochai came in and looked at it, she was also amazed, "It's true that each has its own demeanor."

"It will look good when both Sister Lin and Sister Bao are put on."

"Okay, let me tell you why I didn't see a single person, and you all came here to wear new clothes." Li Wan was sitting at home today, waiting for people to come to learn sewing, but he couldn't see anyone, so he came here. But I found that everyone was trying on new clothes.

Li Wan took Xiyan and Tanchun's hands to look at them, and said with a smile, "It's really really beautiful. I heard that this set of clothes was specially designed by the embroidery studio for a few girls. It cost a few hundred taels. I originally said What precious clothes are worth so much money, and now it seems that they are worth their money."

Daiyu leaned on the side and watched, but suddenly felt sad in her heart, and she couldn't explain why.

Xiyan happened to turn her head and saw the flash of sadness on her face, she hurried over and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Did you remember Uncle Lin?" In two days it will be the third day of September.

Daiyu forced a smile and said, "No, it's just that I didn't have a lunch break today, so I feel a little dizzy."

"Then go and lie down for a while."

Zijuan also happened to come over, and quickly helped Daiyu's hand, so that Daiyu could go back and lie down.Zijuan covered her with the quilt, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, girl?" She knew Daiyu well, and knew her own girl better than Miss Yan. Is someone chewing on the back?"

Daiyu turned over and said sullenly, "My heart has gone bad."

"What does the girl say?"

"Sister Yan wanted to move out to live with her grandparents, but I was relieved when Sister Yan couldn't move out, and I was a little happy. But it was wrong. I saw her so happy, and I also felt happy. Thinking that if one day she leaves, who will know whether she is happy or not in the future?" Daiyu couldn't help shedding tears, and said: "Although the sisters are playing together, they may say that they are happy in their hearts. Only Sister Yan was talking, if she left, wouldn't I have lost a younger sister?"

"The girl is thinking wildly again. Didn't Miss Yan say that she will not leave for the time being, and even if she moves out, she will come back to see the girl from time to time."

Daiyu shook her head.Sister Yan is because she lives with her, and the two are as close as sisters. If Sister Yan goes out to meet new friends, the two meet less. Even if she has a new sister, where will she go? Where can I find such a sister?

For Daiyu, she really treats Xiyan as her own sister.

When she first arrived in Jia's mansion, she was careful everywhere, paying attention all the time, her mind was tense, and she only relaxed a little while in front of her ancestor Baoyu and Zijuan.

Later, for the sake of the balance in the house, the old ancestor took good care of her in life, but he didn't dare to be too partial. She was feeling sad when Pian Xiyan came.

However, like her, she lost her mother at a young age, and even lost her father.

Daiyu took pity on her, so it was inevitable that she would be more kind to her, and Xiyan also wanted to befriend her, so the two became good friends.Although Pian Xiyan is younger than her, she takes care of her everywhere, sits and sleeps together, eats and wears together, but in the end she is closer than Baoyu, even more than her own sisters. At this time, thinking that Xiyan will leave one day, Inevitably sad.

Zijuan had no choice but to keep saying that the girl was thinking too much.

Xiyan changed into new clothes, and then came to see Daiyu, "Is it better? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

"No, I'm just a little tired." Daiyu said indifferently, then changed the subject and said, "Xiangyun can't pick up the painting now, should we help with the fourth sister's painting?"

"Let's help, otherwise how long will the fourth sister be painting by herself?" Xiyan didn't want to talk too much, so she pressed the quilt for her and said, "You should rest first, we are going to the Great Compassion Temple the day after tomorrow, if you are not in good spirits, just Afraid of getting sick."

Daiyu nodded.

The author has something to say: When I announced yesterday, I forgot to say that it was the third chapter. I didn’t expect everyone’s concerns to be so consistent.
