The World of Peace in the Red Mansion

Princess Dong'an originally didn't like Nan'an Palace, but now she didn't really want to make enemies with his family, so she changed the topic and asked Cheng Xiao instead.

"It's rare for you to show your face. After returning to Beijing for so long, I still think you are avoiding me?" Princess Dong'an said with a smile.

Cheng Xiao has been silent since he entered the room, except for greetings from the front. Although he is only fifteen, he is still not used to this room full of female relatives. If he is not worried about Miss Lin, he will not come in at all. After being complained by my aunt for a while, I wish I could go out earlier.

"Auntie was joking, my nephew has something to do tomorrow, and I will go to the mansion to say hello to my aunt."

"You just need to remember this, but I will remember, if you don't come, I will let your cousin come to fetch someone." Princess Dong'an was not polite at all.Cheng Xiao could only frown slightly when he heard this, but he didn't dare to refute.

After teaching her nephew a good lesson, Princess Dong'an's mood improved a lot, and she didn't intend to really leave her nephew in this place of tigers and wolves. She didn't see the eyes of the wives, but the eyes were warm enough.It's a sweet pastry, but whoever has a girl of the right age in the family doesn't care about it.So Er only sent him out, but Cheng Xiao sincerely thanked him for that.

After Cheng Xiao left, the ladies asked some questions with their own thoughts. Although the words were very cryptic, the meaning was very clear.Do you have any plans for the marriage of Duke Cheng's son?

Princess Dong'an only smiled and said that she wanted to see the meaning of the palace, but she blocked her back. If she said other people, everyone would not believe it. However, the marriage of the prince Cheng might really depend on the palace. They all looked at each other with interest, but suddenly they didn't believe it when they entered the palace.Although it's just a relative who grew up in the palace, aside from other things, there is no one who doesn't care about the empress dowager.

Therefore, although everyone is interested, they don't want to say much, just watch!When Cheng Xiao left, all the girls came out in a file. Although Huo Qian was very unruly and self-willed, she was a girl from the palace, so she was not really out of her mind. At this moment, she also knew that she had caused a catastrophe, her face was pale, and she was a little shaken Come to the side of Princess Nan'an.

Although Daiyu felt pitiful looking at her, but she couldn't bear her words and there was nothing left. Her parents were Daiyu's bottom line, especially Lin Hai. It's far away, let alone Huo Qian, who has never met and harbored malice.

But when things got to this point, Daiyu didn't want to stay for a long time. It would be more useful for Mammy Zhang to go out in person, so Daiyu only left with the excuse of going back and taking a look.

Princess Dong'an didn't stay any longer, and the left and right should leave now, so I just asked Daiyu to send someone to pick her up to play in a few days and she was not allowed to refuse. It's not easy to explain it to the princess, so I have to answer first and see it later.

It only said that Daiyu and Zhang Nanny came out of the courtyard gate, and there happened to be a figure standing under a tree far away, looking at this place.Because Daiyu didn't wear a gauze hat in the monastery, at this moment she felt that although the gaze was not clear, it was clearly the person from the bamboo forest.Surprised, he thought to himself: The strange voice sounds so familiar, it turned out to be him.

Grandma Zhang followed Daiyu's lead and saw that Cheng Xiao felt a little helpless, and said in a low voice, "That's the son of Cheng Guogong, and he saved Xianghui." Looking at a man, a blush flew over his face immediately, he hurriedly withdrew his eyes and said "Yes" in a low voice, stopped talking, and just focused on walking.

Seeing this, Nanny Zhang kept silent, but she was a little dissatisfied when she looked at Cheng Xiao's direction. Since when did the Shizi be so rude, I'm afraid the princess will clean it up later.

Cheng Xiao has excellent eyesight and naturally accepts Nanny Zhang's dissatisfaction, but avoids it with a little embarrassment. He is not really a disciple, but just wants to see Miss Lin. He really has no other ideas. He doesn't care about other girls at all. I didn't expect to see it.

However, this good Buddha's birthday party produced a lot of right and wrong, but after everyone went back, they had their own opinions.

Then Princess Nan'an really cared about her daughter, so she went to beg Princess Nan'an for this after returning to the mansion. Princess Nan'an had never liked her daughter-in-law, and she didn't bother to talk to her. She thought she was not smart, but she didn't expect to be so stupid. Well, that day when she wanted to raise Huo Qian, this person refused to agree, but now it is easy to teach such a daughter, and the palace will lose all face.Although she was so angry that she couldn't really let it go, Concubine Nan'an could only take over the matter.But she is not a good tempered person, she directly locked Huo Qian into the Buddhist hall to think about her mistakes, even Princess Nanan was also locked up, and the next day she handed over a sign to the palace to ask to see her, and rushed into the palace to plead guilty to the queen, only lying about the little girl In the quarrel, my girl should be punished for her insincere words.

It has to be said that Concubine Nan'an has a lot of skills, if other circumstances are uncertain, she will be satisfied, and even feel dissatisfied with Daiyu.It's a pity that although she didn't delay, someone took the first step.

The one who was looking for was not the empress but the emperor. If the empress had already won the emperor, there was no need to worry about it.The empress is smart, she knew there was a reason for this one sentence only, so she only listened to the other half of what Concubine Nan'an said and didn't say much, making Concubine Nan'an unable to guess the meaning. ,

As for the emperor himself, he really wanted to watch a show. Cheng Xiao's marriage had so many meanings inside and outside the palace that even his father dared not make an order lightly, so he naturally didn't intend to disturb it. I really don't mind watching a good show.

Except for the relevant family members, it was said that there was still a family member talking about today's events that night.It was Shen Bin, the academician in charge of the Imperial Academy, and his wife, Mrs. Zhang.Knowing Lin Daiyu's grievances from his wife, Shen Bin sighed: "I only have pity for Lin Xiandi, who has no one to rely on, but my wife who can help my family will also take care of it."

"Husband, just don't worry. In my opinion, Miss Lin is a successful woman, and she is surrounded by the nuns in the palace, so there is nothing to worry about. I didn't see one today, and the two of Nan'an Palace have eaten Big loss." Zhang said with a smile, but his eyes were a little indifferent.She herself is usually very well-behaved, and she prefers those quiet girls. Lin Daiyu is so intelligent and articulate, she really can't like her, especially when she vaguely guesses her husband's plan.

Hearing the perfunctory meaning in Zhang's words, Shen Bin frowned slightly and didn't say anything, and Zhang didn't intend to really make Shen Bin angry, so he changed the topic and said, "In all accounts, Brother Yu is not young, just now What do you mean by asking the master, should we look at them, not to mention getting married if they are about the same age, the marriage should be settled." Brother Yu is Shen Jinyu, the eldest son of her and Shen Bin.At the age of seventeen, he was smart and studious, out of everyone, he was able to write at the age of six, and won the Zhongjie Yuan at the age of 15, and became famous in the capital.Shen Bin was worried that his youth would become famous and his behavior would be unstable, so he deliberately suppressed a match but was thinking about next year's big competition.Wen Yan only said: "Don't worry, brother Yu is going to end next year, it's better to wait for the result to come out, it will be easier to talk then."

"That's what I mentioned too, and I didn't say that it will be settled right now, but the first meeting is optimistic. After the palace examination is over, there will be six rituals. Isn't it Double Happiness?" Zhang said with a smile.

Shen Bin frowned slightly and said: "Brother Yu is not very old, after all, the imperial examination is the most important thing. Let's put it aside for now, if someone mentions it, don't agree to it, I have a plan in mind."

Seeing that her husband was about to die and refused to let go, Mrs. Zhang finally swallowed the words she was about to say and said, "Since this is the case, it will be fine if the husband has a plan, just don't delay too long."

After all, the husband and wife had different ideas, so Zhang went back first, while Shen Bin closed his eyes and meditated in the study, and sighed, took out a letter hidden in the desk and rubbed it in his hand, hesitating in his heart.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, "Father, can the child come in?"

Shen Bin changed hands and put the letter back to its original place and said, "Come in!" The one who entered the door was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. Shen Jinyu.

"Father hasn't rested so late?" Shen Jinyu asked worriedly after seeing An.

Shen Bin was not harsh to his eldest son who was always proud of him, but said: "It's nothing, just sit in the study for a while, you just came back now, but what's the matter?"

Shen Jinyu just smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my old friends got together and made my father worry. It's the child's fault."

The relationship between father and son has always been close, and Shen Bin has always known that his son has a sense of propriety, so he would not scold him for this matter. When your mother talked about your marriage, as a father, she meant to wait until next year's competition, what does my son think."

Shen Jinyu pondered after hearing the words and said: "The matter of marriage is naturally decided by the parents. The child has no objection, but there are still important matters next year. If it is not urgent, the child also wants to get married after the competition."

He is smart by nature, and his mother tried several times, but his father's hesitation made him smell something unusual. Although he felt strange that there was such a big difference between his parents in marriage, but his young Mu Ai, if You can still think about the beautiful family you want to reconcile, but the matter of marriage is the intention of the parents. Dabi really doesn't want the parents to create quarrels over it, so it's better to bring it up next year, maybe they will agree with each other up.

"Since you also mean the same thing, I will tell your mother not to worry. Although your knowledge is solid, the imperial examination is not a certainty. No one can say that they will be on the list until the end. Remember Guarding against arrogance and impetuosity is the right way." Shen Bin was quite satisfied with what his son said, so he only mentioned a few words before letting him go back.As for that matter, let's wait for him to bring it up after the imperial examination!There are still two years of filial piety.
