Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

There are no parents and elders to point fingers at the top, and the servants below are respectful and responsible, sorting out the congratulatory gifts and dowry and so on. Poetry and Fu, or playing the qin and playing the sheng, or watching Wei Ruolan dancing swords in the bamboo forest and Daiyu painting it, feel like a fish in water, and live a very free and easy life.

Zicuckoo was sitting on the porch doing needlework, and when she looked up, she saw Daiyu and Wei Ruolan in the courtyard, watering the flowers, playing with the birds, or making fun of each other, like a fairy, unaware that they were facing each other Xueyan said: "I have never seen a girl so happy."

Xueyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "In Rongguo Mansion, you are under the fence of others, how can there be much joy?"

Zijuan sighed: "What you said is reasonable." Even though Daiyu has a noble status, in the Rongguo mansion, except for talking to Baoyu, Daiyu usually refuses to go one step further, but here she is the head of the house. , do whatever you want.

As one of the eight dowry maids, although they only work in the house, the servants of the Wei family dare not neglect them, but after a day, Zijuan feels that things are going smoothly than in Rongguo Mansion.When they were in Rongguo Mansion, those servants had countless things that were not useful in their mouths and hearts. Five times out of ten times they didn't work when they ordered something.But it's different here, even if there is only a pot of hot water, the little girl's words are heard, and the hot water is also delivered.

Xueyan didn't know what Zijuan was thinking, she put down the half-made needlework and looked into the courtyard, Wei Ruolan accidentally touched the flowers that Daiyu had put on her temples when she got up early, and pinched again in a hurry A branch of orchid was placed on Daiyu's hairpin with her own hands, and Daiyu was coaxed back into anger and joy.After reading it in silence, Xue Yan thought to herself that the young master and the young lady are so affectionate, the master and wife can finally feel at ease under the nine springs.

Before she could finish thinking, she heard Daiyu raise her voice, "Xueyan, you release the parrots on the shelf. I've been busy these days, but I forgot about them. It's strange that I don't want to talk today. They don't speak, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

Snow Goose responded crisply, got up and opened the cage, flapped a few times, and two parrots flew out.

Wei Ruolan looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Why do I look like a parrot that grabbed my golden crown? They kept calling me a bad person. Of those parrots on Iron Net Mountain, this pair is the only one left to follow? The others? Not here?"

"There are more than a dozen parrots that often come to me. These two are the most dexterous and proficient in human language. They really seem to have a psychic connection. I don't know how Baoyu coaxed them to send them as dowry, which made many people laugh. As for the others The parrots I keep at home are still in Rongguo Mansion, but the ones in Iron Net Mountain are nowhere to be found, I think with these two leading the way, I will be able to find them.” Daiyu spread her palms, holding the fruit sent by Xueyan , a parrot landed on her wrist, lowered its head to peck at it, without even looking at Wei Ruolan.

Wei Ruolan pointed to another parrot that landed on Daiyu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this parrot is our matchmaker. If he hadn't grabbed my golden crown, how could I take the opportunity to send you flowers?"

Speaking of the pot of orchid grass, Daiyu also smiled, and said: "The pot of orchid grass has been divided into several pots now, and no one wants to give it to me. It is only kept in my room. I am afraid that people in Rongxi Hall will come and go, and pickle it." The air smudged the bluegrass that I had raised for many years, so I entrusted my fourth sister to take care of it for a few days, and when I returned home, I packed up the leftovers in the boudoir, and you reminded me to bring those pots of bluegrass back."

Seeing that the parrot had finished eating the fruit, Snow Goose put some more in Daiyu's palm, and said, "Young lady, don't call me that either. The uncle's name is as important as that flower. It's not good for a young lady to call me that."

When Daiyu heard the words, she knew that Xueyan avoided the word orchid in Wei Ruolan's name, and said angrily, "You know the etiquette."

Wei Ruolan took the water from Xueyan's hand to feed the birds, and sent her back to the original place, then turned to Daiyu and said, "Be careful outside or in front of the old lady, we don't have to shy away from these things in private, I What is the most impatient to be called by grandpa and grandma, and a good couple is like strangers. From now on, you can call me by my name, and I will call you by my name, how about it?"

Daiyu agreed very much, and asked with a smile: "You know mine, but I don't know yours. What are your two characters?" , so her nickname Yaoyao was taken by Wei Ruolan.

The Yao, the beautiful jade, coincides with the meaning of Daiyu.

When Daiyu got this word, she liked it. Although it is not as elegant as Baoyu's nonsense two characters, frown and frown, it has a good meaning. It is no longer the fate of the jade belt hanging in the forest in the manuscript. Naturally, Daiyu doesn't like these unlucky words.

After hearing this, Wei Ruolan pretended to say: "It's time to type, how can you not know my name?"

Daiyu stepped on his foot and snorted, "No one told me, how would I know? We're about to get married at that time, and everyone is so busy, who will ask for me? I want to go, but my grandmother ate some fresh melons and fruits the day before, so it was a bit bad at night, so Baoyu never went there, and she didn't have time to go out again." As for others, although they know, who is like Baoyu, Babaer came to him and told about the grand occasion of Wei Ruolan's coronation ceremony and what the sign was.

Wei Ruolan was also aware of the crowning ceremony she performed a few days before her marriage. Except for the spectators, no one else knew her name, so she smiled and said to his wife: "Listen well, my name is Yuan Fang, Your Majesty bestows it on you." The table word."

Daiyu read it twice, and said: "Fang, you are full of orchid spirit, and you are the head of this generation, so you really match your name very well."

Wei Ruolan giggled, threw away the water in her hand, and took Daiyu's hand instead, and drove away the two parrots that were parked on her shoulders and wrists, saying: "Your Majesty also said the same when he bestowed the letter. Those who are long, fragrant, and fragrant. In the future, you will call me like this, and I will call you Yaoyao, don't be so indifferent like the world, you say master, I say madam."

Daiyu thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yuanfang."

Wei Ruolan knew that she was playful, so she responded simply, but Daiyu was not satisfied, and then called out again, and he also answered, and then Daiyu called several times in a row, and he couldn't help scratching her. Daiyu's itching, Daiyu hurriedly dodged it, raised her skirt to hide behind the flowers and trees.

The husband and wife laughed lively, until the servants came to report that the door ceremony was ready, then they stopped laughing and ordered the servants to bring it to see for themselves.

Except for the meat that will be bought tomorrow, the rest of the presents are well prepared. Wei Ruolan checked it once and asked Daiyu to look at it. She was not picky at all and praised the butler once.

The next day is the day when the three dynasties return home, Daiyu has no natal family, Wei Ruolan only needs to visit the tablets of her parents-in-law, but after all, Daiyu grew up in the Rongguo Mansion and has been married since then, and was sent by the Jia family to marry , the husband and wife must take a trip to Rongguo Mansion. These gifts are all prepared according to the ceremony of returning home to show respect.

Early this morning, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng all took leave of absence at home and held a banquet at the door. Hearing that people came to the door, Jia Zheng hurriedly sent Jia Lian and Baoyu brothers to welcome them into the Yimen in person.

Wei Ruolan rode a horse and dismounted in front of the door, but Daiyu sat in a sedan chair. When the servants in the Yimen retreated, Fang helped the maid to get down.

Because there are no outsiders, not even the servants, so there is no need to be very taboo.

Although it was only two or three days, in Baoyu's view, it was like three autumns and four seasons, when he looked up at Daiyu, saw her brows stretched, her dimpled smile, and her whole body exuded an indescribable sense of comfort, one knew that she had a good life after leaving the cabinet. Feel at ease.Thinking of this, Baoyu shifted his gaze to Wei Ruolan, seeing that he was wearing clothes made of the same material as Daiyu, he couldn't help curling his lips, secretly envious.

Jia Lian ordered someone to take the gift, and said with a smile: "My sister and the new uncle are here. The old lady and the gentlemen are thinking about it. They sent us two brothers out early to wait."

Daiyu took a blessing in her lap and said, "You two brothers are tired."

Baoyu quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired. If the door hadn't been opened before dawn and the garden was locked tightly, I wish I could wait for my sister and brother-in-law at the door at five o'clock."

One sentence made everyone couldn't help but smile.

Baoyu and Wei Ruolan are acquainted with each other, and they have exchanged messages with each other before, so he chattered and said: "In April, the weather will be hot, my sister can't stand the heat, my brother-in-law should be more careful, and prepare more to relieve the heat." Summer soup nourishes Jindan. I watched the sun come up, let's go indoors, carefully sunburned."

Fearing that Jiamu and the others would be waiting impatiently, Jia Lian hurriedly asked Wei Ruolan and Daiyu to go to Jiamu's main courtyard first.

After paying homage to the tablet of Lin Ruhai and his wife in the room of Jiamu and Daiyu, and seeing Mrs. Xing Wang, Li Wan, and Sister Feng, Jia Lian Baoyu asked Wei Ruolan to go to the front, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were there, and Daiyu stayed behind. In Jiamu's room.

Chai Tan Xiqin and others filed out of the green gauze cabinet, talked around Daiyu, and took a long time to send it to Jiamu.

Jiamu took Daiyu's hand and looked at it carefully.

Daiyu didn't make up much according to her class today, she was dressed the same as yesterday, of course, she didn't still wear the clothes and jewelry she wore yesterday, but she changed into new ones, all of which were bright and eye-catching.

Mother Jia saw that she was wearing a red jacquard brocade skirt and a pomegranate red silk skirt underneath. Although the pattern was very complicated and gorgeous, it was not gaudy. The five phoenix hairpins and the twin phoenixes hanging on the forehead are tied with silk and beads, and the double phoenix is ​​hanging down the curtain and covering the forehead with gold. It is very in line with the status, and it does not look cumbersome.

After seeing it, Mother Jia looked at Daiyu's complexion again, and smiled with satisfaction: "Looking at your dress and complexion, I think you have not been wronged after you came in, so I am relieved."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Where can I suffer? Grandma don't worry, I'm fine."

Jia's mother relaxed, and asked about the arrangement of the Wei family. In order to reassure him, Daiyu said shyly: "There is no elder in our family, so I will be the head of the house as soon as I enter the house, and I don't have to greet my grandmother and mother every day. He handed over all the internal and external account books to me, and I decided everything, and even the salary that was handed out was said to be handed over to me. As for basic necessities, food and daily life, it was the same as before leaving the pavilion. There is also a well-organized garden, waiting for Minger to hold a banquet in the mansion and invite grandma, aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters to play, although it is not as big as the Grand View Garden, but it was created by Mr. Shan Ziye, and it is exquisite and unique everywhere."

Mother Jia nodded as she listened, and said with a smile: "Listening to what you said, it can be seen that I won't be angry with others in the future. I am really relieved. I used to think that Uncle Wei is good, and he really lived up to Su Ri. reputation."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "What worries the old ancestor? Sister Lin has fallen into the nest of blessings now!"

Daiyu said: "You like to joke, what about Qiao'er? Where's Xuan'er? Today is the eighth day of the eighth day, which is Xuan'er's birthday. I specially brought him two clothes and a few obsolete things, and you don't bring either." They come."

"Qiao'er took his brothers to play at home. I was afraid that the house would be very busy and would startle them, so I didn't ask them to come over." Who else remembers Jia Xuan's birthday?Although children’s families don’t usually celebrate birthdays, giving a few things, even a piece of writing paper, can express your affection, right?

When Daiyu wanted to see her, Sister Feng hurriedly ordered Xiaohong to bring Qiao and Xuan to her. As soon as the two brothers and sisters entered the door, they rushed towards Daiyu, especially Xuan, who crawled into her arms along Daiyu's legs. sitting.

Seeing this, Jia's mother smiled and said, "I'll feel more relieved when Yu'er and her children are full."

Sister Feng said: "Quick, quick, quick, sister Lin, you can hug our brother Xuan for a while, and I would be even more eager to take home. Maybe he is such a clean little man who can bring you a kid." When the time comes, I will give birth to a precious son, so I will prepare a few gifts, just for my brother Xuan, and thank him for his contribution."

Daiyu spat at her, lowered her head to tease Jia Xuan to keep silent, everyone looked at Daiyu's expression, laughed in unison, and said in unison: "Everything else is humorous, but this sentence is very important and very reasonable. "

Daiyu ignored it, and said in her heart that you think it is good to have a son, how do you know the benefits of Wei Ruolan, everyone else regards having children as the most important thing, but he is not the only one who thinks that life is alive, is it because of this that women can't live well ?It's no fun after all.Considering his age, he wanted to postpone having children for a few years, and he also said between his pillows that children are destined to be born, so there is no need to pay much attention to it, which moved Daiyu a little bit.

Afterwards, Mother Jia and the others still talked about health care, early childbearing and other things, and nothing else was mentioned. Daiyu hurriedly laughed and said that thinking about her former boudoir, she also wanted to go for a stroll in the garden. Mother Jia immediately ordered The sisters went with her, and they had to ask someone to pack up some old clothes and jewelry that they planned to take away, especially the few pots of bluegrass and the two parrots.

But Wei Ruolan said that after meeting Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, Wei Ruolan sat down to drink and gossip.

Jia Amnesty asked some old-fashioned people and things like antique calligraphy and painting, while Jia Zheng asked Wei Ruolan about her errands and whether she was happy, etc. The two brothers were only a few years apart, had very different manners, and their speech was also very different.

Baoyu poured wine for Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, sat down, got up again and poured Wei Ruolan a glass of wine, pressed Wei Ruolan, and didn't tell him to stand up, said with a smile: "Brother Lin often works in the palace. I often walk around outside, and I know a lot of young talents, let's see what is good tomorrow, I still have two younger sisters in my family who are not yet married, if I make a good matchmaker, I will pour wine for my brother-in-law in the future."

Hearing this, Wei Ruolan immediately understood Baoyu's thoughts, and secretly sighed at Baoyu's keenness, perhaps because he was afraid that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang would marry Tanchun indiscriminately, so although he was reluctant to marry his sisters, he still tried his best to plan and fight against each other. Once upon a time there was great progress.

It's just that Baoyu has never experienced these things, so it is difficult to know who is good and who is bad.

However, before Wei Ruolan could speak, Jia Zheng scolded Baoyu and said, "Presumptuous evil, your sister's lifelong event is the responsibility of me and your wife. How can you, a brother, speak the truth?"

Baoyu's face changed when he heard Jia Zheng's words, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Instead, Jia Amnesty ate a glass of wine and said, "Why blame Baoyu like this? He is also a good brother, and it is not too much for a good brother to care about my sister's life-long affairs. I didn't worry about our second girl's marriage at all. Her brother and sister-in-law are bothering her, but she is lucky. It is rare that Baoyu has grown up and knows how to be considerate of her sisters. What good is it if you scold him like a child? Only when his heart is as cold as ice is he willing to give up No?"

Wei Ruolan and Jia Lian held back their laughter and pretended to be serious listening. In fact, which one didn't know that Jia Amnesty was using Jia Zheng to promote his own interests?Only Jia Amnesty has such thoughts.In fact, in Jia Lian's mind, Jia Amnesty was even worse than Jia Zheng. Although Jia Zheng was a bit more dignified, he never did the shameless and despicable things that Jia Amnesty did, and he didn't even ask a word about Yingchun's marriage.

At this time, Jia Amnesty finished drinking, beckoned Baoyu to come to him, raised the wine glass and handed it to him. Seeing Baoyu pouring wine from the wine pot, he turned to Jia Zheng with a smile and said, "Look, where is such a filial and good boy?" Looking for it? You are not enough!"

Jia Zheng only said: "If he doesn't conform to the rules and decency, we can't let him do anything wrong."

Jia Amnesty showed a hint of sarcasm, well behaved?If Jia Zheng paid attention to rules and decency, he shouldn't live in Rongxi Hall, which shows the identity of the head of the family, and regard himself as the head of the family.When he wanted to speak, he was afraid that Yuan Chun would make the decision for his parents when he learned about it, and that Jia Mu would be furious, so he had to swallow all kinds of words, sneer twice, and drink with his head down.

Wei Ruolan took everything into her eyes, thinking that Jia She and Jia Zheng are indeed two brothers, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, so she smiled and said: "You two uncles, don't start arguing about this, Brother Bao is so frightened that you don't even know it. What did you say. In the final analysis, Brother Bao has good intentions, and he must only want the sisters to be happy for the rest of their lives, so he said this, but he didn't expect any rules."

Baoyu was indeed intimidated by Jia Zheng's harsh words, and couldn't calm down for a long time. Hearing what Wei Ruolan said, knowing that he and Jia She had rescued him with a glance, he nodded quickly and said, "That's right, that's right, I just saw Sister Lin. Less than a month older than the third sister, she was married, and her younger sister, Shi Da, had also settled in her husband's family, but the third sister didn't have any news. It would make people laugh, so I wanted to ask my brother-in-law to be more considerate. My brother-in-law recognizes her There are many people, and they work in the palace, and the people they make friends with are all talented people, and they all know the basics, and they are very clear about their character, which saves us the time of being deceived by the official media or asking about it."

He thought his words were very appropriate, but unexpectedly, Jia Zheng still had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and said, "You just study hard and study hard. What are you doing asking about these? Besides, your wife and I have already made up our minds, so there is no need for you to put The mind of studying is used here. You can be careful, I will be free tomorrow, and there will be plenty of time to test your homework."

Baoyu's face was ashen-colored immediately, and even though he had thousands of words and thoughts, he dared not speak in front of Jia Zheng.
