[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Su Fu'er's pretty face was flushed, she lowered her head for a while before she spoke like a mosquito, "Your Majesty... think... which..."

Xing Xiuyan giggled and said: "I can't mislead you, in case... bah bah bah... people still have to choose their own life. If it's about fame, it's good to be second place. If the family is prosperous, of course the Fang family is good, but if it is lazy, it is good for Mr. Tan. No matter which family the sister loves, as long as they are not married, the adoptive father will most likely succeed. A talented and beautiful girl, and she missed the chance to be a saint's brother-in-law, so don't feel sorry for my sister, everyone is stupid, how can you be his daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Sun also knows Su Fu'er. Although her way of dealing with the world has changed, she will always retain some of her essential temperament.I'm afraid it would be very difficult for her to deal with the double mother-in-law and many sisters-in-law, and it would be very embarrassing for the widow mother-in-law to be the second cousin.

Mrs. Sun married a first-rank university scholar by herself, and there is no mother-in-law at the top, so she will be in charge of the family when she marries in; the husband wants to support his life and no longer has the heart of accepting concubines and maidservants, and the husband and wife will live happily after closing the door; Good again.She only felt that the grievances she suffered in the first half of her life were all accumulated for the great blessings in the future.

Mrs. Sun said: "I heard before that 'the nine-headed bird in the sky, the Hubei guy on the ground', I wonder if Mr. Tan would be more suitable? Among thousands of students, there is a difference between the first one and the last one. In fact, it’s not that big. The Tan family’s heirlooms do not have the heritage of the Fang family, nor does Mr. Chen live in the south of the Yangtze River where the literary style is flourishing. If he can be a Jinshi, he has to visit local famous teachers to study hard. It can be seen that his youthful ambitions exist If you are lofty, you will not be confused by external things, and your heart will be like a rock. Such a person will not be indecisive in matters of the backyard, and if he manages well, he will be able to raise the case."

Su Fuer, because she used to be from a very high family background, naturally also thought about marrying a son of Zhuoshijia from an aristocratic family in the future. She has heard of both the Chen family in Jiangnan and the Fang family in Tongcheng. .But now it is different, she also cursed herself in her heart, she still can't figure out "family background", what kind of family background can she actually have now?

Su Fu'er is also a psychic person. She can't break the "family background", so she also thinks Mr. Tan is better. Once she gets married, with her family wealth and backing, she can be the mistress. On weekdays, he has a brother and a sister, which is also necessary. flattering her.With her in charge of the family, and the noble concubine and Uncle Lin supporting her, Mr. Tan's humble background is not without roots.

So Su Furan was cowardly and embarrassed for a long time, and finally said softly, "I also think Mr. Tan is very suitable..."

For example, Mrs. Sun and Daiyu didn't hear clearly yet, thanks to Xing Xiuyan who was paying attention to Su Fu'er's answer at this time, and she has spiritual power, her body is better than ordinary people and she can hear clearly.

Xing Xiuyan laughed, and said: "Mrs. Lin, please go back and talk to your adoptive father, and invite Mr. Tan to your house as a guest."

Mrs. Sun also laughed cheerfully, took Su Fu'er's hand and repeatedly said yes, and said that she would go to the scholar's residence tomorrow for a short stay.

Xing Xiuyan was afraid of Su Fuer's embarrassment, so she didn't "add insult to injury" to her, but she missed Daiyu very much, so she teased her at this time.

But thinking that before she entered the palace, Daiyu was so quick-spoken and made fun of her all the time, now that she was old enough, it was also the time to talk about kissing.

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "I haven't seen my second sister for a long time, and I was only thinking about the elder sister's marriage just now, so I didn't have time to get close. This girl who just reached the age of ji is indeed becoming more and more a fairy. Who will be lucky enough to marry a fairy like my sister in the future?"

Daiyu pursed her lips: "Ma'am, you're dead!"

However, because of Xiao Daiyu's coquettish anger, Xing Xiuyan also said that she was "necrotic", which was a very associative sentence, and her heart and liver were so spineless.

So seeing that there was no outsider, she hugged Daiyu and said "love" and said: "Sister's little girl, my sister just loves you! When I think of my sister's little girl becoming someone else's wife, I don't know how much it is." You can't bear it. You tell your sister, which family did your adoptive father marry for you, and my sister first sent someone to secretly spank his ass, this is to steal my heart."

Daiyu couldn't help being shy and funny, but she would fight back, snuggling into Xing Xiuyan's arms and saying, "Your Majesty left our sisters and went to the palace early in the morning, but now she's talking about me."

Xing Xiuyan scratched her pretty nose and said, "You're still so eloquent!"

Lin Ruhai and his wife are indeed preparing for Daiyu's marriage, and both of them are optimistic about Shi's family.He secretly felt that if Daiyu married, Shi's family would have a tight atmosphere, Shi Bai didn't have any aunts, and rarely went to the room of the two maids who were serving, and his son was also a young Fangzheng.

Although marrying into the Shi family is a low marriage now, the only mother-in-law above is Daiyu's adoptive mother who loves Daiyu very much, and the sister-in-law is a righteous sister who is closer than her own sister. There is always prestige in the world, and this is really someone who can't even ask for it with a lantern.

Shi Rui was originally talking about the relationship with her brother and sister, then there is the second son Shi Cong, the age is more appropriate.Now Shi Zhang is also busy making arrangements for Shi Rui. If Shi Rui is not sure about a good relationship, it will not be Shi Cong's turn to be married, but Shi Zhang and Lin Sun already have such intentions in their hearts.

Shi Cong is the second son, but the Shi family does not have a title, they are all imperial examination candidates, and there will be nothing to fight for in the future, but they have brothers who are also in the officialdom to help, Lin Ruhai is also satisfied with Shi Cong.Shi Cong's appearance is not inferior to Shi Rui's, the best thing is that he is three or four years younger, and because he has been studying in the academy before, and there is no maid to serve him, and now Shi Zhang wants to marry Daiyu for him, and he doesn't even have a housemaid give.After all, Shizhang really loves Daiyu as a daughter, and having seen Daiyu such a vulgar future daughter-in-law candidate, she feels that giving a messy maid is humiliating her son, and not giving it is a way of loving her son.

However, Xing Xiuyan and the three of them had been talking privately in the meditation room for a long time, and finally Li Dequan, who accompanied her out today, came to remind her that it was time to go back to the palace.

Xing Xiuyan had no choice but to get up and change her clothes. Surrounded by many eunuchs and maids, she went out of the Muni Court, and then went to the golden-roofed phoenix Luanyu.

……

Daiyu was very happy to see Xing Xiuyan today. In fact, although she was worried because she was about to get married after Jiji, she knew a little about her father's plan, and she felt that she was going to marry into the Shi family.

When she was a guest in the Shifu, she met Shi Cong, the "righteous brother". In terms of appearance and temperament, he is different from Baoyu.But Shi Cong's appearance is absolutely outstanding, even if he resembles Hui Er a little bit, she also feels very kind.

But she thinks that the "young brother" will not be such a frivolous and heartless person like Zhang Sheng in the original story of "Hui Zhen Ji". In the future, the step-mother will also love her. Cong also had somewhat different expectations, the girl Huaichun after all.

Su Fu'er lived in the Muni Court before, and now she has to stop by to meet her master Huiqing for a while before returning to the Xing Mansion, Sun and Daiyu left shortly after the imperial concubine Fengjia left.

The masters and maids of the scholar's mansion took three carriages and were escorted by the nursing home, and returned to the inner city of Kyoto from outside the west gate.

When entering the inner city, another accident happened. Because Concubine Chen Guiluan drove by just now, the carriages of pedestrians and carriages on the street were naturally delayed and obstructed. Shouldn't they be rushing now?

The crowd was crowded, but a carriage happened to be unable to control when turning a corner at the intersection, and ran into Daiyu and Sun's carriage.

The two of them were startled, the horse in front was frightened and immediately neighed, and the coachman and a rough envoy in front couldn't help but fell out of the cart.

Mrs. Sun hurriedly asked, "What's going on outside?"

There was no answer for a moment, and after a while, Mother Xu and Mother Li, who were sitting next to Daiyu in the rear car, came over and asked, "How are the madam and the young lady?"

Sun asked, "What happened?"

Only then did Madam Xu explain that the two carts had rubbed against each other and startled the horse. At this time, the driver of this cart fell and was injured.

Mother Xu said: "Madam Wronged and the girl should take the car where the slaves wait for others, and leave this end to the servants below."

Mrs. Sun also felt that it was reasonable, so she took Daiyu out of the car on the footstool, and Zijuan and Xueyan came to hold umbrellas, at least to block curious passers-by.

Although Daiyu was raised in a deep boudoir, in fact, she used to go to Zhuangzi with Xing Xiuyan, and she is not afraid of people or things, it's just the rules.

Just as she was about to change cars and leave, Daiyu suddenly asked, "Are the coachman and the nanny seriously injured? Can someone send them to the hospital?"

Mammy Xu just didn't know, Daiyu said, "Mammy, please go and have a look for me. If it's injured, it's better to heal it as soon as possible."

This is another report from the rich mother, saying that the carriage that hit the person belongs to the Li family, a wealthy family in the suburbs, and the wife and daughter-in-law of this family want to come and apologize.

Mrs. Sun said: "It's not very convenient here, and this matter is an accident. If the injury is not serious, it's fine. You tell them to ask their coachman to be more careful next time. How can the emperor of the capital run amok at his feet?"

Mammy Qian responded, and Mammy Xu, Nanny Li, Zijuan and Xueyan protected Sun and Dai to the next carriage.

As soon as they arrived at the next carriage, Mammy helped Miss Daiyu to get on the carriage first. At this time, the umbrella was closed, and Daiyu only covered her face with a round fan.

But today, Mrs. Sun and Daiyu are going to offer incense at the Muni Court, and they also want to meet the imperial concubine Chen in private. Therefore, although Mrs. Sun is not wearing high-grade makeup, she is well-dressed in order not to be rude to the concubine. The gold, jade and pearl jewelry are extraordinary.

Mrs. Sun's dress today is in line with the status of Yipin Gaoming's wife. On her hair, she wears a set of luxurious and shiny golden phoenix head face, pearl and jade mop forehead, earrings, and necklaces inlaid with pearls and gemstones. Wang Xifeng is not inferior to Wang Xifeng.After all, Wang Xifeng's level is limited, and Wang Xifeng may not be able to wear the things that the wife of this rank ordered to wear.

As soon as the umbrella was closed, the golden hairpin on Mrs. Sun's head suddenly flashed into the eyes of the horse under the refraction of the shining golden hairpin in the strong noon sun, and suddenly the horse neighed and its front body rose.

"Girl!!" Zicuckoo was taken aback and screamed.

"Yu'er!!" Mrs. Sun also turned pale with shock, Daiyu is the master's darling, and she herself is in pain.

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly flew down from the window sill of the teahouse next to it. A pair of white boots stepped on the roof of the car, taking off most of the strength, and then flew forward and sat astride the horse.

It was a young man in white clothes and black hair who rode on the horse and pulled the reins, and patted the horse's neck to comfort him.

The carriage finally quieted down, Daiyu's face paled a little while she was holding on to the carriage door, it was Madam Sun who came forward to help her get out of the carriage.
