'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

After Mrs. Wang persuaded Aunt Xue with her perfect tongue, she immediately sent a letter to Jia Yuanchun in the palace.

Mrs. Wang mentioned in the letter that Rongfu's economic situation is very worrying.Jia Yuanchun used to bribe female officials and eunuchs to spend thousands of taels of silver, all of which were prepared by Mrs. Wang's painstaking efforts.Most of the money was temporarily borrowed from Aunt Xue, which was no secret to Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Yuanchun had just been promoted to be a virtuous concubine, and she didn't have many private houses. Although the rewards from the emperor were precious, they were all registered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they should not be given away or damaged at will.Jia Yuanchun has more heart than energy, and the only way to help his mother is to settle the marriage between his younger brother and Xue Baochai.

After Jia Yuanchun read the letter, he had already decided to follow his mother's wishes and ask the emperor or the queen mother to marry him, but he still had to find a suitable time to speak about this matter.

Jia Yuanchun couldn't think of anything, so she sat down and played the piano. A piece of music was tilted by her nimble fingertips, and the sorrow flowed, piercing and long.

At the end of the song, Jia Yuanchun had tears in his eyes, but he was still lingering in the song.At this time, someone clapped their hands and praised: "Good song!"

Jia Yuanchun raised his eyes and saw a bright yellow, wishing him well.

The emperor smiled and took Jia Yuanchun's hand and hugged him in his arms.Jia Yuanchun felt a faint warmth and stuck close to the emperor.

"You remind me of the time when I first met you, you were playing the piano in the waterside pavilion in the imperial garden, with plain face and plain clothes, but extraordinarily enchanting and charming. When I saw you from a distance, I thought: There is such a peerless beauty in this palace , I have never seen it in the past. You are a good-looking person, and you play better tunes, but these tunes are too sad." The emperor said, his eyes darkened slightly.

Jia Yuanchun was terrified, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to the emperor, promising that he would never play the mourning song again.

"Why force it, you play what you like, you are the one." The emperor looked at her with a smile, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

Jia Yuanchun only treated her as the emperor doting on her, and nodded with a smile.

After the emperor sat down, he saw a letter on the table. At first glance, he knew it was a letter from Jia Yuanchun's family.Not long after Jia Yuanchun came back from visiting relatives, the family hurriedly corresponded with her, and there must be something to ask for.The emperor took pity on Jia Yuanchun, why not do one or two good deeds for her when she is in a good state.Therefore, the emperor asked about the content, and Jia Yuanchun was planning to ask the emperor for a marriage, so he just took this opportunity to talk.

When the emperor heard the words, he agreed immediately without saying a word, and agreed to the marriage between Jia Baoyu of the Rong Mansion and the eldest daughter of the Xue family.

Jia Yuanchun burst into tears of gratitude.

The emperor stayed tenderly with her for a while, then walked away and went straight to Concubine Xi.On the way, the emperor remembered what had happened before, and asked Xiao Sanshun, the personal eunuch beside him: "I asked you to investigate the matter of Concubine Xiande last time, is there any movement?"

"Back to the emperor, someone has seen the concubine Xiande get close to the chief eunuch Zhao Shuli. When you met her playing the piano in the imperial garden that day, it may have been the idea of ​​Eunuch Zhang. There is one more thing, this time the servant thoroughly investigated the Xiande Palace Some of the servants here have suspicious identities, they seem to belong to the empress dowager and concubine Dai."

The emperor closed his eyes, calmed down, smiled, and said nothing.

That night, Zhao Shuli, the chief eunuch, was picked up by mistake, beat a hundred boards, and was demoted to the Clothes Bureau.

The emperor did not bother the old lady about the Rong Mansion's engagement, let alone asked Qin Tian to monitor the day. With a swipe of a pen, he only wrote who the engagement was, and immediately sent an unknown little eunuch Go to Rongfu to preach the decree.

The whole family in the Rong Mansion was a sensation, receiving the imperial edict lively and firing cannons to celebrate.Since it was the emperor's will, Jia's mother would naturally accept it, and happily paid for the banquet, and the Rong and Ning mansions were very lively.

Aunt Xue was the first to applaud when she got the news.Ever since her elder sister, Madam Wang, planned this marriage with her, everything was unsatisfactory, and she liked to procrastinate on everything.Even though Mrs. Wang had repeatedly promised that the marriage would be done last time, Aunt Xue didn't quite believe it.I never thought that such a speed, the imperial decree of the marriage was issued in just two days.What an honor is this?How many men and women in the world are so lucky to be the emperor's mediator?

Aunt Xue was beaming, and pulled Baochai to say a lot of entrusting words.He said in his mouth: "For us, this is the end of all hardships. After two days, I will go to your aunt and fix the date as soon as possible. It will be a good thing for you as soon as possible."

Xue Baochai blushed, nodded and said nothing.

There are no signs under the imperial decree.Jia Baoyu was mourning alone in the school, and without Qin Zhong, he felt even more boring, with a headache and annoyed.When he was depressed, Mingyan got a letter telling him to go back, and Baoyu was so happy that he ran back home.

Baoyu just came in, but everyone he saw nodded and bowed to congratulate him.Baoyu couldn't bear it, and wanted to ask someone casually.

The little maid in Jia's mother's room couldn't wait, so she came to Baoyu and dragged him away, saying: "When you go to the old lady's place, you will know that it is a happy event."

When Baoyu heard that it was a good thing, his face burst into a smile, and he followed the maid all the way to Jiamu's courtyard.I met Shi Xiangyun on the road.

Shi Xiangyun grabbed Baoyu and said with a smile: "Second brother, congratulations, you have a good relationship with sister Bao. You are so talented and beautiful, you will envy others."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Baoyu glanced at Shi Xiangyun complaining.

"What, you don't know yet?"

"what do you know?"

"The emperor ordered you to marry Sister Bao."

Baoyu glanced at Shi Xiangyun in disbelief, excitedly picked up the little maid in Jiamu's courtyard, and asked loudly, "Is it true?"

The little maid laughed, and because she was used to arguing with Baoyu, she ignored his questions and teased, "I won't tell you!"

Baoyu was in a hurry, pushed the servant girl, and scolded: "Shameless thing, when the master asks you, you can't talk about it. Seeing that I won't go back to the second sister-in-law, I will send you to sell it from afar."

Hearing what Baoyu said, the little maid was so angry and anxious that she kicked her legs and cried loudly.

Shi Xiangyun was also in a hurry, so he asked someone to help the maid and said to Baoyu, "How old is she? She's playing with you. You really messed with her." Then he said to the little maid, "Hurry up and talk, I didn't see your second master Jiabao." serious?"

The little maid sobbed and nodded, "What Miss Smith said is true."

Hearing this, Baoyu stepped back a few steps like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, her eyes darkened, and she fell over.Fortunately, Mingyan catches Baoyu with quick eyes and quick hands, otherwise he hits his head on the ground, and there is no guarantee that something will happen.

The servant girl was so frightened that she ran to report to the old lady under Shi Xiangyun's repeated urging.Here Mingyan and Hoe Yao carried Baoyu to Yihong Courtyard.

Mother Jia brought Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and others to see him. The doctor still said the old saying, it was caused by a moment of fright.

Jia's mother is strange, and nothing bad has happened recently, so why is Baoyu frightened?Hurry up and ask the little maid and Shi Xiangyun present.

Seeing that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were both there, the little maid faltered and hesitated to speak, and turned to look at Shi Xiangyun.

Shi Xiangyun was always outspoken, didn't care about this, and said bluntly: "We don't know what's wrong with him, so we told him about today's happy event, and he passed out."

Of course everyone understood what the so-called happy event Shi Xiangyun was talking about.

God, Baoyu fainted because she heard that she was going to marry Xue Baochai!

Everyone looked at Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai at the same time, wanting to see their faces turned green.

Mrs. Xing couldn't help but curled up her mouth in secret amusement, the daughter-in-law was already devastated before entering the door.

Mrs. Wang smiled awkwardly and said: "This child is like this when you are surprised and happy. Don't worry, you will be fine after two days of raising it." Mrs. Wang implied that Baoyu was too happy to be like this, and tried her best to save Aunt Xue's mother and daughter's face.

When everyone heard the words, they quickly agreed and walked along, saying that Baoyu was too happy when he was so happy.

Shi Xiangyun didn't take it seriously, and muttered: "Before she passed out, she looked frightened." She spoke in a low voice, only the two maids and Xue Baochai heard her.Xue Baochai's face turned pale, and he glanced at Shi Xiangyun, feeling resentful in his heart.

Mrs. Wang saw something, and immediately made up her mind.Within two days, Shi Xiangyun was sent away by the old lady.

Gu Mansion.

The old lady of the Gu family, Fahrenheit, got the news that the emperor had proposed a marriage to the Rongfu, so she invited Niu to discuss it. "Our Gu family still has a bit of a relationship with the Rong Mansion. Considering going to the Lin family, do you want to send some congratulatory gifts?"

Mrs. Niu recalled what she had seen and heard in the Rong Mansion back then, and disapproved: "We didn't have much contact with their family, and we went around twice because of Mr. Lin's relationship. Last time I went to Rong Mansion, I found that the place was not as good as it used to be. It's not proper to be negligent. The Lin family doesn't seem to like them either. Except for funerals, the two houses don't often move around. Besides, the Lin family is originally a relative of the Rong family. Once Mrs. Lin dies, the relationship between the two families will be nothing. Think about it When Lin Yatou lived in his house when she was a child, she was often neglected, it's really pitiful."

Niu nodded: "Since that's the case, there's no need to send it away. Where did he go? I didn't see him yesterday."

"Yesterday, he was on duty, and he didn't come back in the morning. He was ordered to go directly to Qingping County, where he went with his father."

……

Qingping County is rich in sweet-scented osmanthus, and when the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms in the world, the whole field is covered with small yellow and white flowers, and it is fragrant for ten miles.Although it is not the season when sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, there is still a sweet scent of sweet-scented osmanthus blowing over you when you step into Qingping County.A major specialty here is sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and the streets and alleys are full of shops selling sweet-scented osmanthus cake.The sweet-scented osmanthus cake here is sweet and delicious, fragrant but not greasy, and it is a well-known characteristic in the capital area.

After Gu Ling finished his business, he chose a time-honored shop and bought five large packages of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which weighed ten catties.

Gu Lian sat in the carriage waiting for his son, saw Gu Ling coming in with a burst of fragrance, and then saw the paper bag in his hand.He frowned and said: "You like to eat, one pack is enough, why bother to buy so many, it won't taste good after a long time."

Gu Ling said "hmm", put the things away without hesitation, sat upright, and stopped talking with a cold face.

Gu Lian helped his forehead helplessly, the eldest son said "um", did he agree or not?Agree with him or disagree?
