Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

When Baoyu fell into a drowsy sleep, she felt that she had walked into a courtyard without knowing when.

He was born in the Duke's Mansion, and most of his contacts were princes of aristocratic families. He has seen various gardens, and he thinks he has seen many scenery in the world.Since he moved into the Grand View Garden, what he has seen day and night is even more magnificent than the scenery in the Grand View Garden, and his vision is higher. The ordinary courtyard has long been unable to impress him.

However, this garden seems to be able to compete with the Grand View Garden.

Baoyu was walking in the garden. Fang Hen was alone and didn't know the way.

He was overjoyed and hurried forward to invite these girls who are comparable to Yuanyang and Ping'er to take him around the yard, but he was laughed at by these girls for no reason, saying that he was not their Baoyu, He also said that he was not qualified to be called Baoyu, and that if he dared to shout again, he would be beaten with a stick.

The girls walked away talking and laughing, and Baoyu wandered around in a daze, and went to another courtyard.

The man who lives in this courtyard happens to be a young man who is exactly like him. He is sighing and saying that he dreamed of a garden in Duzhong, and was called a stinky servant by the girls.

Baoyu and the young man met, and were holding hands to talk, when someone said, "My master's name is Baoyu."

Coincidentally, Xiren heard Baoyu's call in his dream, hurriedly pushed Baoyu to wake up, and laughed with Baoyu again.

When Baoyu was talking about the adventure in his dream, he heard a servant come to report that the empress in the palace had ordered someone to bring Yu's birthday gift and Dragon Boat Festival ceremony in advance.The empress also confessed that from the first day to the third day of the fifth lunar month, three days in a row, there would be a funeral ceremony in the Qingxu temple, and Jia Zhen would take the Jia family and his family to kneel and worship Buddha.

Baoyu collected the things and looked at them, and asked other people's shares by the way.

The servants who brought the things knew it well, and explained the gift list of everyone in the mansion neatly.

Because Yuanchun knew that Daiyu and Xiangyun would live in Jia's house for a few days, and that they were relatives' sisters, and they were close friends with Baoyu, so they prepared a copy for them.

Baoyu heard that his Dragon Boat Festival rites were the same as Baochai's, but Daiyu and Xiangyun's were the same as those of the Yingchun sisters. They only had a fan with the same number of beads, which was no different from his share with Baochai, who had two high-grade palace fans. Two strings of red musk beads, two phoenix tails at both ends and a collar of hibiscus mat, I was already stunned, and the previous joy of seeing Yuan Chun rewarding gifts disappeared.

The attacker had already rewarded the servant who brought the gift, and sent him away, when Baoyu said to himself, "When Sister Lin comes, I should take my share and let her pick it. No, It's better to exchange my share with her quietly before she comes!"

He thought about why his own share was the same as Baochai's, only the things were delivered, and the above list was still there, so there was absolutely no possibility of mistakes, so he could only hide his doubts in his heart.However, he felt ashamed that he should not have taken something better than Sister Lin, and he should have passed it on to Daiyu.

In Baoyu's heart, among the sisters, only Baochai is comparable to Daiyu, and the two have the same etiquette, which is appropriate.

The attacker wanted to dissuade him, but Baoyu had already taken his things excitedly and went to Jiamu's.

The servant who brought the gift said that before Daiyu and Xiangyun arrived at the mansion, Mother Jia still kept the festival gift from Yuanchun.

In Mother Jia's room, the old matriarch, who was upset, left Mrs. Wang by her side.

Yuanchun sent the eunuch Xia Gonggong in the palace to give gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival and a few messages, but there was also a royal concubine's letter.

The imperial concubine's letter has not been made public yet, but now she, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng know about it.

The content of the handbook is to make Baochai and Baoyu get married!Baoyu is Yuanchun's younger brother, and Baochai is also related to Yuanchun, and there is a story of a good marriage in the past. Mrs. Wang has already acquiesced in this time. Yuanchun's behavior is not beyond the rules, and it is even too late for Mrs. Wang to solve it. Jin Yuliang got a letter of approval.

It's just that Jia's mother still pays more attention to Daiyu in her heart. Even though she knows that Baoyu's performance now, Lin Ruhai can't catch her eyes. For a while, we should let it go as soon as no one knows and it won't affect the future marriage of the two children.

However, this time Yuanchun acted like this, even though Jia Mu was the most senior person in the family, it is not easy to disobey the mother's hand order now.

As soon as she heard Eunuch Xia talk about these things and brought a handbook, Mother Jia once wondered whether Mrs. Wang took the opportunity of visiting Yuan Chun in the palace to talk to Yuan Chun about something, which made Yuan Chun decide Baoyu and Baochai's marriage.

However, even when Eunuch Xia brought Yuanchun's oral letter, Mrs. Wang's surprise did not seem to be fake.Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang have been together for a long time, and know that Mrs. Wang is always careful, but she has never been particularly able to hide things, and her temperament is somewhat straightforward. If this matter is really related to Mrs. Wang, after hearing about it, Mrs. Wang will definitely not There will be surprise and even sadness, but no joy of wish coming true.

Jia's mother was upset and didn't want to talk, and Mrs. Wang was also in a state of mind.

Her attitude towards Daiyu has long since changed.Although Jia Lan has a bit of a left-mindedness and is not very close to them on weekdays, she is the only flesh and blood left behind by the eldest son that Mrs. Wang placed high hopes on in the past. Madam is not as affectionate to Jialan as she is to Baoyu, but how can she not have the status of grandson in her heart?

Knowing that Jia Lan was able to shine in the children's test, the Lin family father and son accounted for most of the credit. Don't say that Mrs. Wang had no enmity with the Lin family. She thought that when she first married, Jia Min was still at home. Jia Min was a little jealous, and then worried that Daiyu, who would not persuade Baoyu to make progress, would marry over, which might not be beneficial to Baoyu in the future.

As far as consolidating the influence of the Wang family in the Jia family, it is secondary.After all, Mrs. Wang has already married into Jia's family, so she has to treat herself as Jia's family. Although her mother's family has a high status and her family's influence has great influence on her husband's family, she can truly control power here. This matter is not so important anymore.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Wang once preferred Baochai, but then gradually turned to Daiyu.

When Pian Yuanchun's letter arrived, she was caught off guard.It was because she wanted to go to the palace to ask Yuan Chun as soon as possible, but in Yuan Chun's oral letter conveyed by Eunuch Xia, it was clear that she had no intention of going to the palace for a few months.Even if Mrs. Wang wanted to discuss it with Yuan Chun, she couldn't do it.Moreover, the imperial concubine's handbook has already been written down, so it is inconvenient to change it.

After all, Mrs. Wang was very satisfied with Baochai, and even the Xue family showed some signs of decline, which had been greatly improved under Xue Biao's efforts, and she had nothing to criticize about Baochai.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang had their own concerns, and there was no sound in the room. Even the maid who was waiting on her was holding her breath and dared not make a sound.

Suddenly I heard a girl outside the room laughing and saying, "Second Master Bao is here!"

As Baoyu got older, except for those big girls who often called him by his nickname directly, the other girls have changed their names to some extent.

Even if he dared to call his nickname in private, he would not dare to call him by his nickname in front of the lords and wives.

Mrs. Wang stood up suddenly, and suddenly realized that she had lost her composure, and sat down slowly, looking towards the door.

Sure enough, the curtain had been lifted, and Baoyu stepped on his boots and came in. First he paid respects to the old lady, and then he hurriedly paid respects to Mrs. Wang.

He has always hoped that everyone in the family will be harmonious, and he has never put on airs, and does not take status differences seriously.

Especially recently, Mrs. Wang's kindness to Daiyu, he also saw it in his eyes, and when he proposed to Jia Mu to quietly exchange his Dragon Boat Festival gift with Daiyu's, he did not avoid Mrs. Wang's presence.

At this time, Jia's mother is in charge. It is inconvenient for Mrs. Wang to make a sound, but she can only sigh in her heart.

If there was no Yuanchun handwritten order, she might still be happy to see the success, but now she can only worry about the children's affairs, and even blames herself for not thinking about the marriage when the children were young.

Although she didn't mention it much to Yuan Chun, she did say that it was because of this that Yuan Chun secretly paid attention to Baochai.

Jia Mu put her arms around Baoyu and sighed: "These rituals are all given by the empress. How can we change them at will? And there are lists on them, saying who they are for and what they are. You can change them inside." How can I exchange for this list?"

"This is easy!" Baoyu was not embarrassed, "Third sister is also at home now, her handwriting is very good, and she is also good at imitating handwriting, just ask third sister to imitate handwriting and write another list?"

"You changed the list, didn't some servants in the mansion hear about it?" Mother Jia said helplessly, "Even you have heard about it, there is no guarantee that no one else will know. How can we ensure that the news will not spread?" To your sister Lin's ears?"

"It's not likely." Baoyu was still full of confidence, "Now only the servants who distribute the rites in each room know about this, and now I tell them that if anyone asks again, they have to change their words, and there is still time. Qi Lin After my sister came, she just wanted to ask, if what she asked didn’t match the list, we can also say that it’s been a long time, and the servants have misremembered it.”

"This..." Jiamu was thinking about what reason to use to reject Baoyu, but Baoyu was like a child, and the whole person was monkeying around on her.

"Old ancestor, you just promise me this matter, it's not a big deal!"

Baoyu knew clearly that Daiyu had never cared about these extraneous things, and the Lin family couldn't do without Daiyu's good things. He just couldn't let it go.

Mother Jia caressed Baoyu for a while, and finally agreed to him. Baoyu immediately went to Tanchun to help write the list by imitating handwriting, so that she could exchange her share of rituals with Daiyu's.

This list is just for Daiyu to see.

After he left, when Jia's mother had the heart to talk to Mrs. Wang about Yuanchun's letter, she regretted that she hadn't figured out what to say, but now she didn't even have the mood to say it. She reasoned that she was tired and wanted to rest, so she let Wang Madame went back.

Mrs. Wang was also full of worries, and now she just wanted to be alone for a while, and when she returned to her room, she only wanted to go to the small Buddhist hall.

Tanchun, on the other hand, saw Baoyu coming to her door, and came to her for such things. He really laughed at Baoyu, and then he picked up his pen and began to write the list for Baoyu.

It is true that not many people in Jia's family knew about the rituals received by the masters and sons. Mother Jia and the others made arrangements early, and the servants who knew about it at the beginning did not dare to spread the word indiscriminately.

It's just that Wang Xifeng and Baochai were in the same room that day, and when the servants brought gifts, they sent their gifts to Wang Xifeng's room. Wang Xifeng also asked the others what they received, and both she and Baochai knew that Baoyu actually Secretly exchange my share with Daiyu's share.
