'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

After Niu learned about the situation on the old lady's side from the woman beside her, she thought that the marriage was considered a success, and it would be good for the two young ones to get acquainted with each other first.So she found an excuse and asked Mrs. Wang to accompany her to see Hua Shi, and Gu Ling was also called to her side by her.

As soon as Mrs. Wang saw Gu Ling's heroic appearance, she fell in love with her in her heart, but it was a pity that she only had one daughter. If she had one more daughter, Daiyu wouldn't have the chance to take advantage of it.

Niu looked at the old lady with a smile, and replied two things that sounded serious but were not really important. Hua also understood what Niu meant here, and followed suit, replying in a serious manner, and she tried to delay speaking Long, I just hope that the girl from the Lin family and Gu Ling can have a chance to meet each other.

When Mrs. Niu first entered the door, Daiyu did indeed see a handsome young man following Mrs. Niu. Naturally, she was curious about what the excellent young man that Lin Ruhai praised so much looked like, so she glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

He has been standing behind Niu Shi silently, his eyes are looking straight ahead, his exquisite chin is raised openly, and his eyes are squinted. He is quiet and proud, a little cold.

What a handsome man!

Daiyu was slightly surprised, her heart couldn't help beating a little faster.She was annoyed that she was not calm, and suddenly felt as if her body was surrounded by a gust of cold air, making her uncomfortably cold.Daiyu turned her head and felt the gaze from Gu Ling's direction... She was poked by Tanchun who was beside her, and Daiyu was attracted by Tanchun, so she didn't look at Gu Ling again.

Tanchun secretly smiled at Daiyu, but the meaning was unclear.

Daiyu knew that Tanchun was teasing her, so she gave her a look of reproach.At this time, Niu's side replied and took the people away.

Mrs. Wang didn't follow, but stayed behind.She first accompanied the old lady of the Gu family, Fahrenheit, for a few words, and when she saw that the old lady was tired, she pretended to chat with Daiyu and Sanchun sisters, and then changed the topic to Rutang and Rumei, smiling all the time He chatted with them about the women in the boudoir.

The two sisters Rutang and Rumei felt that Mrs. Wang was kind and easy to get along with, so they couldn't help becoming intimate with her, and they would talk to Mrs. Wang with all their hearts if they had anything to say.When the play was over and Mrs. Wang was about to leave, the two sisters were still reluctant to part, sticking to Mrs. Wang and asking her to come back when she was free.

Mrs. Li was accompanying Mrs. Niu to see off the guests. She saw her two daughters approaching the second wife of the Jia family with sharp eyes. She smiled and said hello to Mrs. Wang, then winked at the two daughters and blamed them. Being ignorant has troubled Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly smiled and said: "That's not it. I saw that these two maids liked them and stuck to them. Seeing that they are ice-snow smart, well-behaved and polite, I know that you have taught them a lot."

In Madam Wang's words, she was clearly praising her as a plum like Tang, but she was actually praising their mother, Mrs. Li, for her good teaching.

Mrs. Li was naturally happy to hear this, and said a few more words to Mrs. Wang.

Niu Shi kept holding Daiyu's hand and said a lot of warm words, hoping that she would come to Gu's house more often in the future.

Daiyu knew what she said when she heard this.Seeing the attitudes of the old lady of the Gu family and the eldest wife, it is estimated that this marriage will be possible.In the past, she mostly inquired about the Gu family and speculated on her own, but today she really saw the prosperity of the Shili Zanying clan.From the old lady of the Gu family, Fahrenheit, to Niu, Li, and sisters Rumei and Rutang, one can see the character and way of life of the Gu family.The harmony of the Gu family is real, unlike the inside of the Rong Mansion, which is very calculating on the outside and inside.

Daiyu also considered the idea of ​​not getting married or finding a good husband by herself, but these are not realistic. Obviously, the real time-traveling life is not as easy and lucky as described in the time-traveling novels.In this Great Qing Dynasty, it is okay for a woman not to marry, but she must shave her head; if she still stays at home like a girl or establishes her own family, in the eyes of the world, she is no different from a strange flower, and she will bring her family. criticized and despised.

Fortunately, she heard that the old man of the Gu family was not close to women, which was a rare benefit for her in ancient times, and it also saved her from living a miserable life of "teaching/teaching her husband, and guarding against mistresses". ♀ Enemy of two generations

Therefore, for the Gu family's marriage, Daiyu really has nothing to complain about, so it should be considered very appropriate.

When returning with Mrs. Wang and sister Sanchun, Mrs. Wang still had the intention of letting Daiyu's sedan chair go back to Rong Mansion with them first, and then back to Lin Mansion.

Daiyu disagreed. "Father is still waiting at home, I hope Aunt Rong will understand, I want to go back sooner."

Mrs. Wang smiled, and said again: "Your grandmother has been talking about you these few days, so you have to visit her often. Her old man is looking forward to you going back to accompany him."

Daiyu chuckled, nodded, but didn't continue.Mrs. Wang didn't say anything more, she took her hand and gave some instructions, and then they got into the sedan chair.After the sedan chair left the street of Gu's Mansion, after walking for a certain distance, the sedan chairs of Lin's Mansion and Rong's Mansion separated one to the west and one to the south.

After Mrs. Wang returned to the mansion, she went to report to Jia Mu.No matter how jealous she is of Daiyu's marriage and how she hopes it will fail, her eyesight is still good, and she has to admit that the marriage between the Lin family and the Gu family is almost settled, but there are only three letters and six hires missing. Just going through the motions.

Mrs. Wang realized that Daiyu would not be negligent in the future, and she should win her over as soon as possible. With the relationship of the Gu family, her husband might not be able to get on in his official career.

Not long after, the news of Daiyu's pre-determined marriage reached Lixiangyuan.

Baochai hid in the house alone, clutching her handkerchief to vent her anger, and for no other reason, she felt that she was on par with Daiyu, so why did she marry so well?

This is the first time that Baochai complained about her parentage, why did she cast a wrong baby?

Baochai was not convinced, when Baoyu suddenly lifted the curtain and entered the door with a smile.How could Baochai have the heart to talk to him, and she agreed indiscriminately to what Baoyu said.

Baoyu kindly came to chat with Baochai, but seeing her absent-minded, he was upset.Complaining: "It's the coldest day today, I'm afraid you'll be bored by yourself, and rush to find you, but you'll fool me. That's all, don't come here in the future, so as not to offend my sister's elegance."

When Baochai heard Baoyu's words, he moved his eyes and apologized with a smile.She asked Qiuyue to replace Baoyu with a cup of high-quality tribute scented tea, and invited him to taste the tea.

As soon as the tea was brewed, Baoyu could smell the fragrance. It was so rare that he held it and tasted it happily.

Seeing that he liked it, Baochai said to Qiuyue, "When Brother Bao leaves, make him a bag and take it back to drink."

"Well, it's delicious! Sister Lin must like this too. Sister Bao, you can give me another pack. When she comes back, I will give it to her to taste. Don't worry, Sister Bao, I am not greedy for this, and I promise to tell her that you gave it to me , I’m just running around.”

Of course Baochai understood Baoyu's intention, smiled, and told Qiuyue to follow Baoyu's words.

Baoyu was delighted to hear this, and thanked Baochai again and again.

Baochai looked at her meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Don't say thank you, just take it as a congratulatory gift from me."

"Congratulatory gift? What kind of congratulatory gift?" Baoyu didn't understand.

Baochai raised her eyebrows in surprise, looked at Baoyu, and asked in confusion, "You don't even know? Sister Lin and the Gu family's marriage."

"Marriage?" Baoyu didn't quite believe it. If Sister Lin was engaged, how could he not know?Such news cannot be concealed at all.Sister Bao must have lied to him!Baoyu had an expression of disbelief.

Seeing this, Baochai sneered and said, "Ask your maid if you don't believe me."

Baoyu looked at Qingwen, Sheyue and the others, and saw that they all lowered their heads and confessed their mistakes and did not dare to look at him. Baoyu felt a little bit convinced, but only a little bit.He still didn't want to believe it.

no!He has to go to the old lady to ask for clarification.Baoyu said goodbye to Baochai hastily, and trotted out.

When everyone was gone, Baochai sat quietly where she was, and suddenly sneered.

Aunt Xue had listened to Baochai and Daiyu's conversation outside, and felt sorry for her daughter, so she went in to hold her in her arms with tears in her eyes.

Baochai didn't cry, but coveted the warmth of Aunt Xue's arms, and said coldly, "My daughter just doesn't want to be reconciled."

Aunt Xue complained that she was not good, and her daughter was wronged by such a family background.

When Xue Pan came back, he saw his mother and sister hugging each other to comfort each other.Thinking something serious happened, I asked why.

After listening to their explanation, Xue Pan said: "I don't think you are always tied to a tree. There are not many men with two legs. In terms of style and conduct, anyone who can compare with the Gu family is the only one in the capital. There is only one prince and grandson left. If you think about it carefully, it’s only a matter of status, just like you and the Lin family’s younger sister.”

"Who is this person?" The mother and daughter asked in unison.

"Chu's grandson, Chu Zaixin."

……

After Aunt Xue heard about her son's nonsense, she became interested and sent someone to investigate this young master of the Chu family in private.Indeed, as Xue Pan said, he is quite popular in the circle of aristocrats in the capital.Aunt Xue summed up that their Xue family and Chu family are both imperial merchants, so they are well-matched, and her daughter has a beautiful appearance and talent, so of course she is worthy of that Chu Zaixin.Of course, Aunt Xue valued the Chu family so much because of the relationship between the Chu family and the King of England.Relying on the King of England is much more honorable than relying on Rongfu.

Vanity is vanity, Aunt Xue is most concerned about her daughter's thoughts.One day, she told Baochai the news she had collected and asked Baochai for his opinion.

Baochai, like her mother, has quietly inquired about the situation of the Chu family since she heard what her elder brother said.Originally, I had a good impression of the young master of the Chu family, but now I hear Aunt Xue's other praise, and I like it even more in my heart.

He blushed and nodded.

Therefore, Aunt Xue began to make friends with rich and noble families who were close to the Chu family, and interceded with them with money, in order to match them up, so that the ladies repeatedly persuaded the old lady of the Chu family to consider this marriage with the Xue family.
