'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

Aunt Zou was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat when she was told about the central matter, and regretted that she had underestimated this new grandma.She had thought that Daiyu would be a man with her tail between her legs in the first few months of her marriage, so she took the opportunity to make her suffer.

Whoops, she is really an old hen who entered the hut and died (pecking shit).

"Oh, my grandma, I swear to God, I never thought that way. It must be because I caught a cold that day, my brain got flooded, and I misunderstood what grandma said." Aunt Zou cracked reluctantly. He smiled and apologized, and got up to say goodbye when he was done.

"Wait!" Daiyu smiled lightly, staring at Aunt Zou: "Since you're here, please sit down for a while, how can you just leave as soon as you say it?"

Daiyu's tone was unquestionable, and Aunt Zhou was so frightened that she raised her butt and put it back again.This time Aunt Zou was really scared, looking at Daiyu's cold eyes, she felt guilty and panicked.After thinking about it, she also made up for her mistakes, there is nothing wrong with being polite, and she has a son, so forgive her for not doing anything to her.Aunt Zou then relaxed a little, and her complexion improved.

There is a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes on the table, just made, with heat and aroma.Daiyu smiled and asked Aunt Zou to taste it.

Aunt Zou politely picked up a piece and took a bite. Although it was a bit sweet and greasy, it was just what she liked, and she finished it quickly.

"My younger brother eats this the best. Eating it alone will make him willing to go without food for the rest of his life." Daiyu looked down at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and continued: "At first I was in charge of him, so he was able to control himself. Now he He understood that he only used a few yuan at a time. Given the situation of the Lin family, he might not be able to provide delicacies from mountains and seas every day, but this cheap osmanthus cake is not bad. Why didn’t he eat it all the time? Because he knew that eating one thing should not be too much The principle of being greedy. This principle is the same as being a human being, and so is Aunt Zou, you don’t have to keep looking at the other person’s family background, the one that suits you is the best.”

"Yes, yes, yes," Aunt Zou smiled apologetically, but she still didn't agree with Daiyu's statement in her heart, how could a concubine understand the hardships of a concubine.

Daiyu sneered, and warned: "Aunt Zou might as well think about it, if my second younger brother really marries a daughter from a high family, although she is magnanimous and knowledgeable, will she look at you and respect you sincerely? To put it in a bad way, You are just an aunt. To put it bluntly, you are a slave. A decent daughter-in-law respects you from the bottom of her heart. If she doesn’t respect you, what do you dare to say? Your biological mother knows the temperament of your second brother best. How dare you ask him? Will I speak for you when the time comes? It's better to marry a small family, be honest and settle down, and let you decide."

Aunt Zou was dumbfounded by Daiyu's point, speechless.She wanted to refute Daiyu's words in her heart, and after careful consideration, everything Daiyu said made sense.If she had to choose between her son and his wife, of course she would not lose her son, and she was most afraid of losing her son!Without the master's favor, Gu Jing is her only support in the Gu residence.

Aunt Zou was afraid of her previous decision, bid farewell to Daiyu hastily with a pale face, and went back to reflect on herself.Not long after, Gu Jing's marriage was settled under the guidance of Niu Shi, who was the concubine daughter of a fourth-rank civil servant.Although there is a bit of pettiness, Aunt Zou is satisfied with being honest and honest.

Niu was even more satisfied. What she wanted to see most was the second daughter-in-law's honesty.Niu also knew that Aunt Zou changed her mind after being 'taught' by Daiyu, so she was more sure and relieved of Daiyu's ability.

It coincided with a small gathering between Chu and Rongfu, Mrs. Wang and Tanchun met the Chu family's son.The old lady of the Chu family, Mrs. Su, is quite satisfied with Tanchun, but she is still somewhat dissatisfied with Rongfu's family background.After the banquet was over, the Su family and the Duke of Chu discussed it, but they still felt that this marriage was worthless, so they handed over the decision-making power to Chu Zaixin.Both of Chu Zaixin's parents died when he was young, which made him sensible early.The two elders, Mrs. Su and Mr. Chu, loved him very much and respected his opinion very much.

When Chu Zaixin paid his respects to Mrs. Wang that day, he saw both sides of Tanchun, which was acceptable in terms of appearance alone.Earlier, he had inquired about Tanchun's character from the side, knew a thing or two about her in the Rong Mansion, and also knew that this woman had a very good relationship with the daughter of the Lin family.In all aspects, Chu Zaixin's impression of Tanchun is not bad.He had heard that Tanchun was a shrewd and capable person who managed the Rong Mansion well at a young age, such a wife was exactly what he needed.His wife is by no means just used to pamper and give birth to children. The ability to manage the property and handle the family business must be superior to others, so that he can be worthy of his position as a good wife.

Chu Zaixin thought about it for two days, and finally decided to nod his head.

There is no objection from the Su family either, the Rong Mansion may be a drag in the future, but there is such a thing as saying that, even if the Rong Mansion collapses in the future, the water splashed by the married daughter will not have much impact on their family.Now it is so rare to have a girl who makes her grandson nod and be satisfied. Mrs. Su wanted to hug her grandson a long time ago, but she didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, so she quickly agreed.

The Chu government agreed, and began the procedure of three media and six employment.Naturally, the Rong Mansion is also happily preparing, and everyone in the mansion is happy for Tan Chun.Everyone attributed the credit to Mrs. Wang, saying that it was Mrs. Wang's careful handling that gave Tanchun a good home.

The wedding date is scheduled to be in the spring of next year, and the calculation will be fast.Tanchun began to be busy preparing for marriage all day long, so she couldn't be free.On this day, she managed to find some free time from the foster mother to wander around in the Grand View Garden.Suddenly, she saw two women chatting with their backs to her under the peach tree.

"My aunt's marriage to a concubine has always been hasty. Only the second wife has put so much effort into marrying the third girl so well. The third girl is really a blessed person."

"He really is a person who is dedicated to the Buddha, with a kind face and a kind heart..."

Tanchun felt sick when she heard this, she was the only one in the house who understood the origin of this marriage, and it had nothing to do with Mrs. Wang.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was Jiamu's birthday. Since it was not an integer number, the mansion only invited their own relatives to have a small gathering.The Lin residence still sent a congratulatory gift, a long life jade screen, neither big nor small, neither expensive nor cheap.

Ever since Baoyu heard about Daiyu's wedding, she has been in a sluggish state of mind, sometimes in a daze and sometimes awake, and when she sleeps at night, Daiyu always appears in her dreams.Baoyu's thoughts became crazy day by day, which also made him lose weight day by day, and he laughed less.Baoyu finally waited until the eve of Jia Mu's birthday, and secretly made up his mind to forget Daiyu. As long as he saw Daiyu again and verified with his own eyes that Daiyu was living a good life, happy and comfortable, he would have no other thoughts.

Baoyu waited and waited until Jia Mu celebrated her birthday, ready to see Daiyu's face.Unexpectedly, expectations turned into disappointments...

Baoyu was in a daze, forgot to blow on the tea, burned her mouth, and blisters formed on her tongue and lips.His mind was in a daze, and he didn't know the pain.

Sitting next to Baoyu, Baochai saw Baoyu's disappointed expression when he heard that there was no one from the Lin family.Baochai stared at the blisters on Baoyu's mouth, and scolded him in his heart that he deserved it.

At this time, Tanchun and Xichun next to Baochai were chatting and laughing, and their clear laughter like copper bells pierced through her eardrums, which was strangely ear-piercing.With tears in her eyes, Baochai turned her head to look at Tanchun, who was smiling happily at the moment.Baochai remembered that she had heard the news of Tanchun's engagement to the uncle of the Chu family the month before last, and her heart ached and she wished so much.Why can she marry into the Chu family, but she can't.Could it be that she, a concubine daughter from an imperial merchant family, can't compare to the concubine daughter of Rongfu's second wife?

Baochai poured a cup of strong tea into her stomach, intending to calm her mind.

Aunt Xue saw that something was wrong with her daughter, so she came to ask Baochai what was wrong while Jia Mu and others were busy.Baochai looked at Baoyu, but said nothing.

Aunt Xue looked at Baoyu puzzled, and found that Baoyu was listless again.Aunt Xue doesn't find it strange that he often does this recently.Just about to ask Baochai carefully, Baoyu suddenly sensed Aunt Xue's presence, and greeted her with a smile.

Baoyu opened her mouth to speak and broke a blister before she knew it was painful.

When Aunt Xue saw Baoyu's mouth, she quickly took a handkerchief to help wipe the pus, and said distressedly: "My little ancestor, what's wrong with you."

When Jia Mu and others heard Baoyu's cry, they also gathered around and asked questions. Baoyu was finally helped into the room by Qingwen and other maids, and asked the doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

A bustling birthday banquet was spoiled by Baoyu's blisters.The rest of the people were still watching the play, talking and laughing, but they lost their previous interest.

Baochai stayed by Aunt Xue's side, savoring it in her heart, and sneered in her mouth: "But the tea is boiling water, so why bother calling for a doctor."

Aunt Xue looked like Baochai in disbelief, and she couldn't believe her ears. The gunpowder-smelling words just now really came from her daughter's mouth?It stands to reason that before Baochai and Baoyu's marriage is settled, it's okay to be anxious. After the marriage is settled, she doesn't see her being happy at all. On the contrary, she is not as happy as before.

"What's wrong with you?"

When Baochai was asked by his mother, tears were in the circles of his eyes, and he dared not speak. On the one hand, he was out of consideration for the occasion, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it and shed tears in public.

Finally, when the show was over, Aunt Xue hurried back with Baochai, ordering Baochai to explain to her.

"It's nothing, it's just that I can't think about it for a while, it's all right now." Baochai's old smile returned to her face, her lips curved into crescent moons like peach petals, making her cheeks puff up suddenly, making her look very delicate Pretty and cute.

Aunt Xue really thought that Baochai was a girl's accidental sentimentality, so she didn't mind, nodded her forehead dotingly, and pretended to reprimand: "You, the person who is about to get married soon, when you marry Aunt Wang Master, you must not be so capricious. That child Baoyu is a bit petty, but he is soft-tempered and has a good heart. If you usually let him order, he will always be grateful to you."

Baochai smiled and nodded in agreement. She had some calculations in her heart and told him to wait and see when she came in one month later.
