[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

Ying'er went to Mrs. Wang's house to look for the attacker, who laughed and said, "Second master just said that the good things are left unused, and now the girls are here to borrow them."

After talking, he went to the house to look for flower sticks, and Jia Baoyu asked, "What is Yinger doing here?"

Xi Ren said, "Miss Bao wants to borrow the set of enamel flower sticks from Second Master. The girls want to fulfill the wine order."

Jia Baoyu said, "Why don't they take me to play? I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time."

Xiren took out the box of flower sticks, and Jia Baoyu quickly snatched it over and said, "I'll send it myself. If they don't take me with me, I won't lend her."

Seeing Jia Baoyu holding the box, Yinger hurriedly said, "Give it to me, Second Master Bao."

Jia Baoyu avoided her hand and said, "No need, I'll do it."

Yinger is in a hurry, Xue Baochai is about to be drafted, how can he meet a foreigner, but Jia Baoyu is not persuaded by others, he is not happy at all, Xue Baochai only invited Xiangyun and Sanchun, now he seizes the opportunity and refuses to let go .

Jia Baoyu walked ahead, Yinger and Xiren followed behind, Yinger whispered to Xiren, "Second Master Bao has always listened to you the most, please persuade him."

Xiren wondered, "What are you persuading? I've always played like this on weekdays, and I'm also wondering why you girl forgot to call Erye."

She thought it was Xue Baochai who had missed the call, so she specially invited Jia Baoyu by taking advantage of the flower lottery.Except for Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, everyone really played like this.

Xue Baochai had already had sherbet served, and made another pot of tea. She personally held the first cup and handed it to Lin Daiyu, "I made it at home, my sister moistens her throat."

She is different from Shi Xiangyun, she has no prejudice against Lin Daiyu, especially she has learned the rules from the nanny, she can only be happy that Lin's father is promoted, and Mrs. Lin is the county monarch from Zhijun Wangfu, maybe the draft will be useful later Why bother to offend people here.

Lin Daiyu took a sip, "Sweet and sour, very delicious."

"Then Sister Lin will drink a few more glasses when she is drinking. Sister Bao's sherbet is the best." Shi Xiangyun snuggled up to Xue Baochai, acting more like a sister than Sanchun.

They are all girls' homes, and it is hard to say something like Xue Baochai's promotion step by step. For a while, I was a little short of words, and only Shi Xiangyun was twittering.

The girl suddenly came to report that the second master Bao had come.

Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Brother Bao probably doesn't know that my brother is not here today. Go and tell him that my brother has gone out to do some errands. If you need something, you will come to him tomorrow. Where is Yinger? I have been away for a long time and I have not come back."

The girl said quickly, "Sister Ying'er and Second Master Bao are grabbing flower sticks outside, and Second Master Bao said he won't let him come and play together, so he won't give it."

Shi Xiangyun clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This demon king of the world is so domineering that he won't even lend his things to Sister Bao. I'll go and see."

Xue Baochai couldn't stop her, so she had to let her go. Seeing Jia Baoyu arguing with Yinger at the door, Shi Xiangyun stepped forward and took the flower lotus from his hand, and said with a smile, "Why didn't you come here?"

"Since you want to use my things, you must invite me as the master." Jia Baoyu said, "Besides, you are all here, so it's no fun to pull me down."

Shi Xiangyun nodded and said, "Yes, yes, please invite Second Master Bao."

Ying'er hurriedly stopped the two of them, and said anxiously, "The house is full of girls, how can a foreigner like Master Bao get in?"

Shi Xiangyun said, "How can I be so hypocritical today? Anyone in the house is not a relative, but my own family. Stop it again, be careful, I don't want Sister Bao to lose face."

A few girls coming and going were serving cakes in the house. Seeing the stalemate here, they all came up and laughed and said, "The girl is talking privately, the second master wants to play, let our girl open another seat to invite you tomorrow." .”

If Jia Baoyu hadn't been for Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, an old pedant, would have invited him out of ten or eight out of ten times, and he would not have come. He just laughed, "Sister Erbao will go to the palace tomorrow. It's better to hit the sun than pick the sun."

After saying that, she walked into the house, but Ying'er was blocked by Xiang Yun, and the girls had plates in their hands, so they could only watch helplessly as Second Master Bao went into the house.

Since Lin Daiyu was not brought out by Mingxuan, she was accompanied by two foster nuns.Recently, the Lin family has started to go to Fujian and Zhejiang. The Zhijun Prince's Mansion sent two foster nuns here a few days ago, so that they can go to Fujian and Zhejiang to teach and serve Daiyu.

Mother Chen was found later, and Mother Qiu who was invited first was the one Xue Pan came to visit that year, so although Xue Baochai treated them very politely and set up a separate table for them outside, she still didn't like it in her heart. The Xue family.

As soon as Jia Baoyu entered the room, the two nuns stood up immediately in shock. He was already 13 years old at this time, and he looked like a teenager, with a bit of a girlish appearance compared to the old year.

The two mothers looked at each other, and were about to ask him, Shi Xiangyun had already called "Brother Love" and followed him in. Seeing that the little girl lifted the curtain to let Jia Baoyu in, Chen mother hurried up to stop him, "I don't know this Young Master?"

Shi Xiangyun said, "This is the second son of the Rongguo Mansion, Second Master Bao."

"It's full of female relatives inside, so it's inconvenient to let Second Master Bao in, please come back." Nanny Chen stood still and refused to let him in.

Jia Baoyu was once blocked by Lin Daiyu's girl in his early years, but now how can he remember that at that moment, he became very arrogant and didn't speak, and just stood deadlocked in front of the curtain with his mother.

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "Mammy is too careful, what's the inconvenience?"

Aunt Qiu looked at Shi Xiangyun with eyes like gouging out flesh, Aunt Chen put on a smile on her face and said, "Maybe the girl doesn't understand the rules outside, men and women have different seats at seven years old, and even my brothers and sisters don't have a single seat to play around with." , in another two years, they will be able to get married, so if you say it, you won't ruin your reputation."

"Whose reputation can be ruined." Shi Xiangyun muttered, and it was Lin's elder sister who was always playing tricks.

Grandma Chen didn't seem to hear, her smile remained the same, and Nanny Qiu's eyes became more severe, Xiren hurried into the room and pulled Jia Baoyu, and said in a low voice, "Second Master, let's go back, the old lady wakes up later and wants to call You."

Jia Baoyu said in a hurry, "Sister Lin, come with me to see the old lady. Since she came back, the old lady has been thinking about her all day long, and she has mentioned it several times."

The voice was not low, and Lin Daiyu heard it in the back room, and said, "I went to see my grandmother before I came here, so second brother can go by himself."

Xiren pulled Baoyu hard again, and said to Shi Xiangyun, "Miss Yun, I will take the second master home first."

Shi Xiangyun was disappointed, he looked at Mammy with unfriendly eyes, pouted and lifted the curtain by himself, and fell heavily.

Nanny Qiu sat back, her anger hard to dissipate, and she whispered to Nanny Chen, "Old sister, what do you call this?"

They also taught women from the clan, and some from great families. Nanny Chen came out of the Empress Dowager's palace. Who is not polite, and it was the first time I saw a daughter of a thousand gold who threw the curtain by herself. What kind of style is this.

Nanny Chen persuaded her with a smile, "Calm down too, and go back after the girl sits for a while longer. My wife also said that I can't stay for long."

Sure enough, there were only two rounds of lottery, and Nanny Chen went in to bid Lin Daiyu farewell. Lin Daiyu said apologetically, "I want to take office with my father, and the house is so busy that I can't be too lazy." , Sister Bao cherishes it."

Xue Baochai laughed hurriedly, "Sister Lin, don't worry, it's a long journey to Fujian and Zhejiang, so take care."

Shi Xiangyun didn't have enough fun, so he said, "It's not Sister Lin's turn to throw the lottery, so I left. Third sister, it's your turn."

Tanchun didn't want to get up and said, "We've been talking for a while, we should go back too. Sister Lin has something to pack, doesn't Sister Bao have?"

Xue Baochai sent them out, withdrew to eat, leaned on the kang and heard Yinger say that Jia Baoyu was going to break in, and sighed, "Fortunately, sister Lin's mother is blocking, and Xiangyun is twelve years old." , eating and playing all day long, without etiquette."

Ying'er was taught a few words by Xiangyun, full of displeasure, and said, "Even the girl and our uncle didn't sleep on the kang when they were so old, let alone put on the second master's clothes and made a fuss together."

This happened in the winter of last year. Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu didn't know whether it was a couplet or a poem. They said that they had fallen asleep lying on a kang in the middle of the night, and Xiren only found out when he woke up in the morning.Xiangyun didn't care, so he just put on Jia Baoyu's clothes to make Jiamu happy. The two boys stood together and made Jiamu laugh from ear to ear.

Xue Baochai glanced at her, "Okay, I'm just saying something in vain, but I asked you to make use of it. Sister Lin is getting better and better, and none of us can match her."

"No matter what, our girl is naturally the best born. Miss Lin is still young, and her stature has not grown." Ying'er said, seeing Xue Baochai closed her eyes and retreated lightly.

Xue Baochai knew that she had a good birth and was on par with Daiyu, but she didn't have a governor's father after all. Even in the draft, she was also arranged in the small election. It would be the best ending to be assigned to the emperor's dowager's palace, no matter how bad it was Even if the princess and princess accompany me to study, I can't really serve my concubines or do rough work.

If Lin Daiyu is drafted, it must be in the general election, and the daughters of various famous families are easy to serve, and in the end most of them will be concubines or concubines.

At the beginning of August, Xue Baochai entered the palace in a small blue sedan chair and a small parcel to start the draft.Xiu girls with good family backgrounds were arranged to live in the east and west halls of Chuxiu Palace, with two people in one room, and a maid was sent to serve them, while those with backgrounds like Xue Baochai lived in the back hall of Chuxiu Palace. Many people shared one room, like a shop.

When Xue Baochai arrived here, he couldn't help feeling a little hesitant about the unknown future.Her lavish and stunning appearance inevitably attracted many beautiful women from humble backgrounds, and some were not convinced by her, but the rules in the palace were strict, and she hadn't found a chance to make a move for the time being.

Coincidentally, the Empress Dowager gave Ming Xuan the title herself, so she felt that she had good eyesight and was secretly close to Ming Xuan, so she announced that she would bring her children into the palace today.

Mingxuan hurriedly asked the nanny to mend the rules in the palace for Lin Daiyu, and comforted her, "Follow me when the time comes, the Queen Mother is very kind, don't be afraid."

Lin Daiyu nodded in agreement, then asked what she was wearing at that time, Mingxuan looked at Nanny Chen and laughed, "With Nanny Chen here, the arrangements must be made properly. Daiyu will leave it to Nanny."

"Young lady is pure and heart-loving. The Empress Dowager definitely likes it when she sees it." Nanny Chen said, she naturally knows what the Empress Dowager likes, but Daiyu is young and not a daughter of the clan, so she just dresses up like a fresh and beautiful little girl That's it.

When he was able to go back to the house, he chose a light yellow top for her, and picked out a set of white jade tops, leaving the tassels aside.Nanny Chen said in Daiyu's ear, "The empress was raised in the palace when she was a child, and she liked to wear light yellow the most. The queen mother always said that little girls are the most delicate in light yellow."

Lin Daiyu turned her head and said worriedly, "I'm afraid I'll offend the nobleman, and I'm afraid it's just mediocrity."

"If a girl compares herself to Dongshi, there is no Xishi in this world." Chen Nanny smiled, and Lin Daiyu said with a little peace of mind, "The goose-yellow shirt and Qianluo skirt are not romantic with Jiangmei. This is Yongmei's. It would not be appropriate to use white jade, I remember that there is a plum blossom hairpin, Mammy can see if it can be used?"

Snow Goose hurriedly asked which branch it was, so she found it and showed it to Nanny Chen, the plum blossoms were made of gold, and the plum blossoms were either blooming or closing, which was still vivid, Nanny Chen just said.

Early the next morning Mingxuan finished dressing herself, feeling uneasy, she came to see Daiyu again, seeing that she was still childish, she smiled and said, "It's a good thing you're young, the palace is drafting for a talent show, if you're older, why don't you It's not that they were robbed."

Lin Daiyu blushed with embarrassment, "My wife is so boring."

Ming Xuan smiled and said nothing, Lin Daiyu was already twelve, and in four months she would be thirteen, it was time to talk about marriage.Several families had inquired about it before, but now they are going to Fujian and Zhejiang, so it is not easy for these people to act.At this time, I took Daiyu to see the queen mother. If the queen mother has favored her eyes, there is no need to worry.

Lin Daiyu followed Mingxuan all the way, her demeanor was generous and calm, she didn't seem to have turned her head into the palace, even Nanny Rong couldn't help but look at her with admiration.Who would have thought that Miss Lin was actually distracted at this time.The palace was heavily guarded, luxurious and magnificent, and she couldn't help sighing when she thought that Xue Baochai would live here for ten years or even a lifetime.

It took the eldest sister ten years of hard work, but instead of being carried to the Xining Palace, it would be better to stay at home. Even if she is married, she can still meet her parents and family members. I don't know why this shady place attracts them.

There were already people waiting for Mingxuan at the door of the Compassion Ning Palace, Yilan, the maid beside the Empress Dowager, said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager has been looking forward to Miss Jun Tonglin of Huaishu County, please come inside."

"Why don't aunt come out in person, I'm really sorry." Ming Xuan seemed to let Yilan give her a hand, and stuffed a pouch in her hand, "I remember that my aunt liked gems the most in the past, and I got some gems a while ago, so don't be disgusted, aunt. "

There are rubies and sapphires in the purse, as well as cat eyes.As soon as Yilan pinched it, she knew that they were all big ones, and said with a smile, "Thank you, the county lord, for remembering."

The Empress Dowager was very happy to see Ming Xuan, with a friendly smile, she waved to Lin Daiyu, "Come over to Ai's house and have a look."

Lin Daiyu's palms felt a little cold, she walked up to the Empress Dowager, blessed herself, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I still don't forget how Lord Lin used to be when he visited Hualang, mourning my family. You are very much like your father, indeed you are a tiger father without a dog daughter."

Ming Xuan hugged the little bun and approached her and said, "Empress Dowager, please see if this looks like it."

The little bun blinked, and grinned at the queen mother. The queen mother touched his little face and said, "It's a bit like our Ming family."

"One looks like father and the other looks like mother. It's not bad. The queen mother said, right?"

The queen mother looked at her for a while, and said with some emotion, "You are a good person, and you are living a very good life. Please sit down, my wife and I will sit down and talk."

The palace servants brought the young couple and placed them under the Queen Mother. Ming Xuan sat halfway up straight, and said with red eyes, "The Queen Mother is kind, Ming Xuan only has today."

"Being a mother, you are still like a child, crying whenever you want." The queen mother did not blame her in her tone, and went to see Daiyu again, a little surprised, "I seem to have seen this girl somewhere before, so she looks familiar."

Yilan laughed and said, "The Queen Mother just said she looks like Lord Lin, why did she forget it all of a sudden."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "No, no, I can't remember it for a while, she looks like her father, but this dress looks like no one has worn it."

In the palace, the eldest princess is the same age as Daiyu, Yilan asked, "Could it be that the eldest princess will wear this color someday?"

The queen mother frowned and said, "No."

But the old mother in the queen mother's palace remembered it, and whispered to the queen mother that the queen used to like to wear light yellow, and the queen laughed, "Who is Aijiadao? Luo Qun, who claims to be a Lamei Fairy. At that time, the Ai family thought that the little girl wore light yellow, which was both beautiful and lively, but it is a pity that now everyone likes to wear gold and silver in bright red and green."

Lin Daiyu lowered her head, and from the corner of her eye, she saw that the Empress Dowager's eyes were also full of smiles. She presumably liked the Empress Empress very much, but felt that she was a bit rude in this body.

The queen mother said again, "The hairpin you use in your hair is also a plum blossom, and the idea is very clever."

Ming Xuan was a little surprised that the Empress Dowager was in a good mood today, but she was much younger than the Empress, and she didn't often go to the palace, so she didn't know who the Empress Dowager was talking about.

The queen mother chatted a few more words casually, asked about the arrangement of Fujian and Zhejiang, and asked them to retreat. She got up when she didn't want to, and a beautiful girl rushed in from outside.

It is the tyrant in the palace, the eldest princess of Fuqing.

The queen mother couldn't laugh or cry when she saw it, "Fuqing, where did you find these clothes?"

"Of course it belonged to the emperor. He said that the queen mother made him a baby at the time, and she hadn't worn it since she left it. I asked for it. Does grandma think it looks good?"

"Good-looking is good-looking, but you can't let your queen mother see it." The queen mother is full of doting.

Mingxuan brought Lin Daiyu up to salute, the eldest princess waved her hand and said, "Get up, hey, Miss Lin is so beautiful."

The queen mother put her arms around her and said, "Look at Miss Lin, and then at you, you are like a tomboy."

The eldest princess frowned, "Didn't you say that I look like my father? My father is a man, so naturally I am a tomboy. Miss Lin, you must be like your mother, right?"

Lin Daiyu was praised by the queen mother for being like her father, but now she is questioning the queen mother, and she can't refute the princess, so she said with a blessing, "As for the princess, the minister looks like her biological mother."

Then it is possible to look like a father.

The eldest princess spread her hands, "Look, grandma."

The queen mother was angry and funny, and said to her, "You are all right, put away the bow quickly, and don't hit anyone."

Mingxuan took the opportunity to resign, not wanting the eldest princess to say, "Mr. Huaishu County will bring Miss Lin to play when you have time, but it's a pity that she is old, otherwise it would be great to leave it to my younger brother to be his wife. Miss Lin was born the most beautiful."

Mingxuan is about to cry, empress, when are you going to find a companion to read this? It's been four years, but there is no letter at all.Is it really okay for Hong Guoguo to moles a girl like this?

The queen mother said, "You two hit it off, can Miss Lin play with you for a while?"

The eldest princess said, "Okay, the lotus in Taiye Pond is blooming now, shall we go boating?"

"But you have to change your clothes back, otherwise others will see you and think you are a little prince, which will ruin Miss Lin's reputation." The Queen Mother took the opportunity to say.

"Okay, okay, let's go back and change. Ms. Lin is mine." The eldest princess pulled Lin Daiyu and went out. Poor Lin Daiyu was pulled by her with one hand, and she reluctantly bowed and left, her face turned red.

"Go, go." The Empress Dowager didn't care about her impoliteness at all, she waved her hand, and said to Mingxuan, "Fuqing has such a temper, just so you can chat with Aijia for a while."

Ming Xuan wondered what was going on, and sat back honestly, "The Eldest Princess likes Daiyu, this is her blessing."

"I picked these companions for her, and none of them liked it. Even Zhongshun Wang Jiaming Yi also lived in the palace for a few days, and she was bullied and cried."

...Damn it, she won't make my Daiyu cry, Emma, ​​why don't you resign earlier, it's only a little bit short.
