Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Now it has entered October. Although it is still late autumn in the south and the chrysanthemums have not yet fallen, it is the time when the golden osmanthus is in full bloom. However, the climate in the north is cold, and October has already entered winter. There are also a few branches of early plum blossoms.

"Oh, if my sister is here, I can drink the good tea made by my sister with the snow water on the plum blossoms." Daiyu sighed faintly. Miaoyu had been away for a long time, but she was hiding from her I am free, but here I am troubled and calculated.When Chunxian heard the words, she smiled and said: "If Princess Shuning comes back and finds out that the princess is planning on her good tea, what will she say?"

Hearing this, Daiyu glared at Chunxian unconsciously, and said, "Chunxian, you dare to play tricks on your master." Qingwen smiled, and said, "It's the princess' fault, but you Never regarded me as a slave." Daiyu laughed and said: "All of you are either princesses or gege, you are slaves, if you really talk about it, who in this princess mansion can really be called a slave of?"

Shuanghua Bingning listened, but remained silent.Indeed, in this princess mansion, no one can really be called a slave, because the lowest status in this princess mansion is also from the Han army flag, and no one is a slave in clothes. If the emperor did not arrange to come to this princess mansion, Which one in this mansion doesn't have a few maids and servants waiting around?It is precisely because of this that many people regard this princess mansion as a big fat meat, even the servants at the door are also thinking of getting married, let alone Daiyu and Miao who live here. Jade?

In fact, they also know that Daiyu is not really thinking about Miaoyu's good tea, but is thinking about whether Miaoyu's situation is good at this time. They have been serving Daiyu and Miaoyu for a long time, but they know that Daiyu Although Yu and Miaoyu are not direct sisters, they are better than direct sisters, but outsiders can't see it.After all, both Daiyu and Miaoyu have a somewhat cold temperament, especially Miaoyu, except for the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang and Daiyu, even facing the fourth beile Yinzhen, they also have a cold face.

"Who are you talking about as a slave?" Daiyu didn't finish her sentence for a long time, when she saw Yinzhen was wearing a black cloak, but inside she was wearing a dark blue brocade robe with dark red auspicious patterns.When Daiyu saw her, she smiled and said, "I was talking and laughing with Qingwen and the others, but where did the fourth brother come from? Why is there a little dirt on his body?" Seeing that there was a little dirt on the corner of the robe, but it was covered by the cloak, so it couldn't be seen much.

Yinzhen didn't care much, because he said: "Maybe it was accidentally splashed when I came back from Yuquan Mountain just now." Daiyu frowned when she heard this, because she said: "I haven't gone into the house yet. Change it." After saying that, he led Yinzhen into the room, took out a light orange brocade robe from the box and handed it to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen took it for a change, and after the change, Fang asked Daiyu, "To tell you the truth, I usually only choose heavy colors in my clothes, but this is the first time I wear light-colored clothes. By the way, Yu Son, did you make this dress specially for me? You have such skillful hands, and this robe is just right for me.”

Seeing that Yinzhen was wearing that light orange robe, Daiyu not only made his usual icy look disappear a bit, but also added a bit of a warm and jade-like temperament, she felt a little dazed After hearing what Yinzhen said later, and seeing the wicked smile in Yinzhen's eyes, she blushed a long time ago, and said angrily, "I don't have the time to make clothes for you. It's just that I have some raw hands recently, so I just made one or two pieces to practice my hands. If you don't like wearing them, you can return them to me. I will wear them for the elder brother. Anyway, the elder brother's stature is comparable to this clothes. .”

Hearing that Daiyu wanted to wear the clothes for Yinzuo, even though Yinzhen knew that Daiyu was shy, she couldn't help but turn pale, and then wrapped her arms around Daiyu, saying domineeringly: "No. , even if the clothes made by Yu'er don't fit well, they can only be worn by me, and no one else should think about it."

Daiyu was so ashamed that she had nowhere to hide, so she had to bury her head deep in Yinzhen's arms, and asked after a while: "Fourth brother, what did you go to Yuquan Mountain?" Yinzhen said: "Last time you Speaking of the possibility of snow disasters this year, I told Huang Ama, and Huang Ama went to the Heavenly Supervisor to ask, and it turned out to be true. Seeing that the day is getting colder and colder, especially in the Yuquan Mountain area. It was very cold, so Huang Ama ordered me to go to Yuquan Mountain to inspect it, so I could make some preparations in advance."

Daiyu nodded, but at this moment, she heard Qingwen outside the house saying: "Princess, there is a man outside who calls himself Lin Wenmao asking to see the princess." Daiyu heard that, thinking of what Qiongyu said a few days ago, she said: " Invite him to my study."

Yinzhen knew about Lin Wenmao, but, "Isn't Lin Wenmao in Lianyun Villa in Chengde? Why, when did he enter the capital? Why didn't I know?" Yinzhen frowned and said a little unhappy.However, Yinzhen can't be blamed, whoever made Lin Ruhai's Siwen servants all young, handsome, and extraordinary in martial arts, even the prince's elder brother is rarely able to match, it's no wonder that Yinzhen became wary of them.

But Daiyu didn't seem to know Yinzhen's thoughts, she just said: "A while ago Qiongyu came to me and said that Lin Wenmao had news about Qingyu's sister, but she seemed to want my help, so she let him come Find me." "Who is Qingyu?" Yinzhen heard this name for the first time, so he asked, "Apart from you and Miaoyu, does your Lin family have any other daughters?"

Daiyu shook her head and said: "Sister Qingyu is not the daughter of the Lin family, she is the daughter of Nalan Rongruo and Shen Wan, so she is also my cousin." After saying that, she said: "Okay, don't let Lin Wenmao Don't worry, he won't stay in the capital this time, but brother Lin Yi still can't do without him."

After Yinzhen heard this, he didn't say anything more, and just followed Daiyu to the study.

Daiyu's study room is set up after the study room of the Lin family's old house in Gusu. On the side of the wall are two large book shelves filled with books. There are few books such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Historical Records" and other books. It can be seen that Dai Yu's extensive research is far from comparable to that of ordinary ministers in the court.The other place next to the door and window is a large water tank produced by Jingdezhen official kiln, which cannot be carried by two people. The tank is full of koi, and a plant is said to be moved from the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. Even in the middle of winter, the golden lotus has leaves as green as jade and flowers as bright as the sun, exuding a faint fragrance.Mixed with the scent of jasmine from the incense burner on the table, it is refreshing.

Yinzhen has been to this princess mansion many times, but it is also the first time to set foot in Daiyu's study room, seeing the extremely elegant decoration, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

At this moment, Qingwen led Lin Wenmao in rather displeasedly.Daiyu watched from the side, but saw that Qingwen seemed to be extremely displeased with Lin Wenmao, she felt puzzled, and said to herself, "Qingwen has never seen that Lin Wenmao before, and Lin Wenmao is not as bohemian as Lin Wenfu, but Why did He Qingwen look like this when she saw Lin Wenmao?" Yinzhen watched from the side, secretly wondering, but she didn't show anything on her face.

Because Yinzhen was here, Qingwen didn't dare to speak freely in front of Daiyu, she just knelt down and said to Daiyu: "Princess, this Lin Wenmao is contemptuous of me, and I ask the princess to be the master of my slave."

When Daiyu heard this, she looked at Lin Wenmao suspiciously, and there seemed to be a trace of questioning and reproach in her eyes.After hearing Qingwen's words, Lin Wenmao also saw Daiyu looking at him with such eyes, so he knelt down and said: "Princess, this subordinate has wronged me. I don't mean to belittle Miss Qingwen, but I just have a little doubt in my heart." .”

Qingwen had a fiery temper. After hearing this, she couldn't help but get angry and said: "You obviously intended to be contemptuous of me, and you still make such a sophistry in front of the princess." Lin Wenmao hurriedly said: "Ms. Qingwen misunderstood, in fact I just Seeing the birthmark on Lady Qingwen's neck, I'm just a little confused."

Qingwen was about to refute, but Daiyu had already heard the mystery. Lin Wenmao's reason for coming today had something to do with Qingwen, so she asked, "Could it be that Qingwen is...?" Lin Wenmao said: " If the subordinates see it well, the lady officer Qingwen should be Nalan Qingyu, the daughter of Nalan Rongruo and Shen Wan."

Daiyu nodded, and suddenly found that the two of them were still kneeling on the ground, and said in a hurry: "Okay, you two don't kneel anymore, just get up quickly." Only then did Lin Wenmao and Qingwen get up, and Qingwen glanced at Lin Wenmao, snorted coldly, but turned her head away and stopped looking at him. Anyway, she decided that Lin Wenmao was a disciple.

"What Nalan Qingyu, I don't know. My surname is Zhaojia, and I am the daughter of Marhan, Minister of the Ministry of War, but you don't want to talk nonsense here!" After hearing Lin Wenmao's words, Qingwen suddenly felt Very uncomfortable, how could I be the daughter of Nalan Rongruo and Shen Wan when I was a good daughter of Shang Shu?

Lin Wenmao said: "Not only are you very similar to the princess, but you are even more similar to the portrait of Shen Wan that the master gave me. Most importantly, I saw the heart-shaped portrait on your neck just now. Birthmarks are unmistakable." After a pause, he continued: "I have been looking for Nalan Qingyu's whereabouts under the orders of the master for two years, but the results of the investigation all point to Zhaojia's mansion. Yes, I did some in-depth investigations later, only to find out that Lord Malhan, Minister of the Ministry of War, did not have a seventh daughter at all, but you were sent to Lord Malhan's residence by the emperor's order back then. It was rescued by Xianghe's current Concubine Hui Hui."

Qingwen was taken aback when she heard this, thinking that Kangxi always had a little inexplicable concern for her, now it seems that there is some secret hidden in it?
