Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

On this day, Daiyu watched Yinzhen's birthday approaching, and knew that Yinzhen never liked yellow and white things. After careful consideration, she decided to embroider a scroll of Buddhist scriptures and give it to Yinzhen.Therefore, in the past few days, whenever Daiyu was free, she took the needle and thread to work there.

Qingwen didn't know what Daiyu was embroidering, but she saw that Daiyu was doing embroidery work day and night in front of the lamp every day, so she was worried. She persuaded Daiyu, "Princess, this embroidery hurts the eyes the most. If the princess wants to do something, just leave it to the servant girl, and the servant girl can do nothing else, but this embroiderer girl is pretty good."

Daiyu laughed and said, "It's nothing else, but I have to make this myself." After hearing this, Qingwen knew that Daiyu must have made this thing for Yinzhen, so she didn't mind. No matter what to say, he just said: "Although this is the case, at least the princess should take a rest. It's just like this day and night. If Fourth Master sees it, it will definitely hurt my heart."

When Daiyu heard this, she just smiled and didn't say much. She just buried her head in embroidering the Buddhist scriptures again. After about half an hour, Daiyu stopped the needle and ordered Chunxian to say, "Go, take the sutras together." Bring me the box that contains the string of Buddhist beads that Master Yuantong gave me that day."

When Chunxian heard about it, she took out a box from Daiyu's usual jewelry box. Daiyu took it and handed it to Chunxian because she put the embroidered Buddhist scriptures away. .” Chunxian took it, and put the box away as promised.

When she came back, Chunxian asked Daiyu with a smile, "Princess, the servant of Shicai just glanced at it accidentally, but saw that the satin was twisted and twisted, but I don't know what the princess embroidered." Daiyu laughed: " It's just a Buddhist scripture."

"Buddhist scripture?" Chun Xian was a little surprised when she heard it, and said, "I don't know what it is. 'Paraparamita', how come the slaves don't know a single word?"

When Daiyu heard the words, she smiled and said, "I originally embroidered the original scriptures in Sanskrit. If you don't know Sanskrit, you can't understand it." After hearing this, Chunxian suddenly realized.

At this moment, Shuanghua came in and said angrily: "I've never seen anyone who is shameless, but I've never seen someone so shameless!" When I bumped into it like this, I almost knocked the tea to the ground, because I said: "You are not careful, this is the princess's favorite drink, Shifeng Longjing before the rain, or the plum blossom snow water that Princess Shuning hid. .”

Daiyu smiled and waved her hands when she heard the words, and said, "Bing Ning, you are too careful, it's just a cup of tea." After saying that, she looked at Shuanghua again and said, "But Shuanghua, it's What happened, why are you so angry?"

Shuanghua said: "I'm not angry for myself, but for the princess. The people in the Rongguo Mansion are really unkind. For the sake of Jia Tanchun and Jia Yuanchun's relatives, they are building a relative's house with great fanfare. Forget it, you actually want the princess to go there to name the provincial house and write poems!"

After hearing this, Daiyu just smiled and said, "Why do I think it's the matter? I just said this, but I already expected it. I can't say it. I still have the idea of ​​wanting me to live in it. If it's just for this kind of thing Angry, I'm afraid I won't be able to get angry."

Just as I was talking, a little girl ran over and said, "Report to Her Royal Highness, but the people from the Rongguo Mansion have come again." Hearing this, Shuanghua said angrily, "It's never over, wait for me Go and send them away."

Daiyu stopped her when she heard the words, and said to the little girl: "Go and tell the people in the Rongguo Mansion, just say that I know their intentions, but I'm really not feeling well these few days. Only when the Lantern Festival comes, I will go to visit Mrs. Jia."

When the little girl heard about it, she agreed to go.When Shuanghua saw her, she asked Daiyu, "Princess, the mansion is so filthy, why should the princess go there?" Hearing this, Daiyu just smiled and said, "On that day, the Rongguo mansion will be so dirty. There's a good show, why, you don't want to watch it?"

After hearing this, Qingwen and Chunxian were a little puzzled.However, since Daiyu said so, something must happen in the Rongguo Mansion that day.

In a few days, Yinzhen's birthday came. Because he was in the national filial piety, and it was not a full birthday, no one was alarmed, but Kangxi, Yinxiang and the Lin family went to that Yongzheng. The county palace is just celebrating Yinzhen's birthday.

As for the concubine De and the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen, because they have never been close to Yinzhen, and because they were reprimanded by Kangxi some time ago, they have no intention of caring about Yinzhen's birthday. Just a congratulatory gift.

As soon as Qiongyu came in, she saw Yinzhen and said with a smile: "Second brother-in-law, we are here to celebrate your birthday, although we should give you a birthday gift, but you should order some good wine and good food in the kitchen Yes, don’t prevaricate us with cabbage and tofu.”

Because of Daiyu, Yinzhen doesn't seem to have a cold face towards Qiongyu, and because of this, Qiongyu often plays tricks on Yinzhen, which makes Yinzhen dumbfounded.No, it's only been a while since I saw Yinzhen, and Qiongyu's old problem has recurred.

But Yinzhen was taken aback when he heard this, and it took him a long time to react: "Who told you that there is only cabbage and tofu in my mansion?" Qiongyu said: "No one in the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty does not know the nature of King Yongjun. Thrifty, when you invite people to dinner, you always have four dishes and one soup, without any oily smell, it just makes people complain."

Kangxi laughed out loud after hearing this.However, Lin Ruhai knocked Qiongyu on the head, and said: "I still don't want to apologize to your fourth brother, this child has more crooked thoughts, and I don't know who he looks like."

After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Kangxi only slandered in his heart: "Isn't it just like you old fox? Didn't you tease me like this at the beginning?" It's just that Kangxi only dared to say these words in his heart. If I want to leave my pick and go back to the south of the Yangtze River, wouldn't I have to suffer for another 20 years?

While she was talking, Daiyu came over with a carved lacquer plate offering Yunlong's birthday in her hand, and said to Yinzhen with a smile, "fourth brother, hurry up and have a taste, this is made by Yu'er herself." When Xu Zhen heard about it, he hurried over to bring it over, but he saw that there was a bowl of noodles in the big celadon bowl, and the golden soup was sprinkled with green onions, exuding a strong fragrance, which can be called "" Color, smell and taste" are all there.

Qiongyu took a breath, and said to Yinzhen with a smile: "Second brother-in-law, this is longevity noodles. There is only one noodle in a bowl of noodles, if you don't bite it off and eat it all in one go, you will be blessed..." Before he finished speaking, Lin Ruhai slapped Lin Ruhai again, saying: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

After hearing Qiongyu's words, Yinzhen didn't bite off a bite, and ate all the soup and ingredients, only Qiongyu and Yinxiang were stunned.Yinxiang swallowed, and only said to Miaoyu: "Miaoer, when it's my birthday, you cut the longevity noodles into pieces. I don't have a throat as long as my fourth brother's."

Miaoyu blushed when she heard the words, and said, "On your birthday, just ask the cook to make it for you. I don't know how to make longevity noodles." He rolled his eyes and said, "No way?" That expression made everyone burst into laughter.

After Yinzhen finished eating the noodles, he was still a little bit unsatisfied, because he asked Daiyu, "Yu'er, this longevity noodles seem to be different from the noodles I usually eat, but what's the point?"

When Daiyu heard about it, she laughed and said, "There's nothing special about it. It's just that the pork ribs, ginger slices, scallions, cooking wine, coriander leaves, fennel and other spices were used to boil the soup in advance. I was afraid it would be too greasy, so I boiled it again in the soup. When kneading the noodles, I added some eggs and tangerine juice to make the noodles smooth and firm, which makes people feel particularly delicious, and there is nothing too particular about it.”

When Yinzhen heard about it, he remembered that when Huang Erniang was alive, every time it was her birthday, Huang Erniang would make a bowl of longevity noodles for herself. At that time, she was playful and always had a lot left over. Now I think about it. Eat, but can't eat anymore.

Seeing Yinzhen's sudden silence, Kangxi knew that Yinzhen must have thought of Empress Tong Jia, so he sighed in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Miao girl and Dai girl are not young. I can't delay any longer, I'm going to be a filial piety soon, why don't I hurry up and pick a date to take care of these children's affairs."

"Huang Ama!" After hearing these words, Yinzhen and Yinxiang were inexplicably surprised, and Yinzhen felt that this was the best birthday present he received today!When Daiyu and Miaoyu heard this, they blushed and turned their heads to one side, but they didn't speak.

Kangxi stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "I have already asked Qin Tianjian. After the New Year, February [-]th is a very good day, and it happens to be Dai girl's birthday, and then there is the date of the beginning of March." Six's day is also very good, but you two sisters, whether to marry together, or whether one will marry first, and the other will marry later, I have to discuss with you." After saying that, he smiled again: "If one is married first Marriage, a second marriage is at least for the fourth child to marry girl Dai first."

After Yinxiang heard this, he was the first to shout, and said: "Of course, the wedding will be held on the same day, which can also save a lot of expenses, and I'm not afraid that Miaoer will live alone since sister Yu'er married fourth brother." It's lonely in the princess mansion." Just kidding, if I had to wait for nearly a month, I would be so anxious that even my hair would turn gray.

Kangxi was originally joking with Yinzhen, but he didn't expect Yinxiang to be anxious, so he immediately laughed.At this time, Honghui, who was only five years old, ran up to Kangxi with short legs, and asked Kangxi, "Huang Mafa, does Honghui want Erniang? Erniang is finally going to marry Ama." ?"

Kangxi hugged Honghui affectionately, and said with a smile: "If Honghui wants a mother, it depends on your ama's ability. If your ama has no ability, Honghui will have no mother." Honghui Hearing this, she struggled to get out of Kangxi's embrace, and said to Yinzhen, "Ama, you must be capable, and Honghui must have Erniang!"

The immature voice had a domineering aura, which made everyone laugh.And Yinzhen's mouth also showed a hint of a smile, he hugged Daiyu tightly, and said: "Ama will definitely not let Er Niang run away!"

When Daiyu heard about it, she stomped her feet and said, "Fourth brother, what are you talking about!" After saying that, she ran away in a hurry. up.Kangxi laughed and said, "I didn't expect the fourth child to be impatient."

Lin Ruhai listened, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the same as you back then?" Kangxi listened, because he remembered that he had spent all his time for Queen Tong Jia, but it was a pity that he still didn't protect her well after all. Let her go at a young age.So Kangxi sighed and said: "The fourth child will be happier than me."

Seeing that the air was dull, Qiongyu smiled and said, "The fourth brother married the second sister, and the eldest sister married the thirteenth brother. How can I call the thirteenth brother after that? Does the fourth brother call the thirteenth brother 'big brother-in-law', or '" What about "thirteenth brother"? Does the eldest sister call the second elder sister "little sister" or "fourth sister-in-law"? Ah, ah, this is all messed up."

Kangxi also laughed after thinking about it, and said: "If the fourth child is to call the thirteenth brother-in-law, the fourth child will be embarrassed on the spot." Looking forward to it.When everyone saw it, they burst out laughing.

On the other side, Yinzhen chased Daiyu into the courtyard, and seeing Daiyu's flushed cheeks, he asked, "Yu'er, are you annoying me?" I don't want to annoy you, it's just that my parents and the emperor's uncle are all there, how can you say such shameful things, I thought you were serious!"

After hearing this, Yinzhen hugged Daiyu tightly because of a smile and said: "The serious appearance is just for outsiders to see. Fourth brother can't be serious with Yu'er. Could it be that Yu'er is married to fourth brother? Fourth brother looks at you with a serious face, do you pay attention to the words of 'a gentleman speaks but not hands'? Fourth brother doesn't want Yu'er to be respectful to each other in the days to come, without a trace of warmth at all!"

When Daiyu heard this, the blush that had just faded became even brighter, because she said: "Let go of me!" Hearing this, Daiyu frowned, then smiled slyly from behind, and said, "Fourth brother, if you don't let go, Yu'er's gift will not be given to you."

When Yinzhen heard about it, he had to let go, and scolded with a smile: "Yu'er, you are such a little vixen!" When Daiyu heard about it, she immediately gave Yinzhen a look, and said with a smile, "Could it be that fourth brother doesn't like it?"

After hearing this, Yinzhen laughed and said, "Of course fourth brother loves you, you little vixen very much! In this life, this life, no, forever and ever, I want to be harmed by you, this little vixen!" He smiled and said: "That's right, but Yu'er doesn't like being called a vixen, not for anything else, but a vixen has a smell like a fox. Could it be that Yu'er stinks?"

Yinzhen shook his head with a busy smile, and said, "Okay, Yu'er, can you return your gift to me?" After hearing this, Daiyu took out the box containing Buddhist scriptures and beads, and said: "In it is a mantra of pure heart and universal goodness that I embroidered, which is most suitable for self-cultivation. There is also a string of Buddha beads made of bodhi seeds obtained from Master Yuantong, which can drive away evil spirits and prolong life."

When Yinzhen saw it, he liked it, because he smiled and said, "Of course what Yu'er gives is the best." Daiyu was very happy when she heard about it.The two went back to the house, and when Kangxi saw the two coming back, he naturally had to make a joke.
