Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Sister Feng put aside the sarcasm on her face, and ordered people to bring Sheyue in. When she looked up, she had black and fine hair, a tall figure, an oval face, sculpted eyebrows and nose, bright eyes and white teeth.Wearing a peach red flowered soft silk jacket, a green satin vest with pinched teeth, and a skirt with pine flowers and elastic ink silk underneath, all of them are half new and not old, making people feel luxurious, so naturally it is hard to be daunting.

After Sister Feng said a few words, she felt that she had underestimated Sheyue. Her demeanor was as gentle and peaceful as Xiren's, and her speech was as clever as Qingwen's. There is no difference between the two.

It's just that Sheyue is not as beautiful as Qingwen, but she is also comparable to Yuanping, and she is considered first or second among maids.

At this point, Sister Feng smiled and pulled Sheyue, and praised: "Look at this appearance and talk, which is rare in the garden. It's strange that the second master has taken a fancy to you and chose you for Baoyu. Great joy, great joy."

Hearing Sister Feng's words, Sheyue was startled, her face blushed, but before she could speak, she heard Sister Feng say: "Your wife has already said it, and today I will send someone to show you off. Both the aunt and the attacker have a share with you, and you will go to the public in an upright manner, so you don't have to be afraid that people will say that your name is not correct." After speaking, he asked Feng'er to bring Mrs. Wang's reward.

Seeing that the rewards were two sets of Mrs. Wang's old clothes, one cotton and one leather, the latter were made of woolen clothes, not inferior to what Xiren wore when he went home to visit his relatives that year.

Musk Moon was so ashamed that she didn't know how to respond, but she still insisted on Xie En, and kowtowed to Mrs. Wang according to Sister Feng's words.

Sheyue went there for half a day, and came back with two little maids and the things she was holding. Xiren was very surprised when he saw it, and asked why he called two more little maids to Yihong Courtyard, but Muskyue was embarrassed and confused. After saying a few words, he lifted the curtain and went back to the room.

Sheyue has never seen anything like this before. The attacker was Zhang Er's monk who couldn't figure it out, so he asked the little girls to come to him to ask questions, so that they could arrange their work. , who didn't know many things in the garden, one of them answered first: "We are not serving the second master Bao. My wife told us to serve Miss Sheyue in the future."

Xiren suddenly stood up, his face was pale, and he lost his voice: "What did you say?"

The girl looked at Xiren in surprise, not understanding why she was so surprised, so she said honestly: "We are assigned by the mansion to order Miss Sheyue, just like the girl next to Grandma Zhou Zhao."

As soon as the words fell, Sister Feng sent some decent daughter-in-law in charge of the mansion to come over, and ordered someone to order Xi Ren: "Clean up a room for Sheyue alone, and use new bedding and furnishings. When the house is consummated, I will take charge of the big and small things in Baoyu's house until your second grandma comes in."

Not to mention how shocking and painful Xiren was, let’s say that Sheyue has always been kind to others, and the remaining maids in Yihong Courtyard, such as Qiuwen Bihen, hurried to Sheyue’s room to congratulate her, and watched the daughter-in-law in charge give her a face. Very envious.

Xiren forced himself to walk in, pushed Sheyue, and said, "I never thought you would have today's blessing."

After opening her face, Musk Moon became more and more beautiful, her hair had been recombed by the wife in charge of opening her face, she also changed into new clothes, and she wore a few golden bead hairpins, which was very gorgeous.

Musk Moon sat on the bed, shy and timid, very reserved.

When Xiren saw this, his heart was sore, and he couldn't show it in front of everyone. After talking to Musk Moon affectionately, he sent someone to clean up the room, and hid in the room sobbing secretly.

When Baoyu came back, she hurriedly came out of the house, waited on Baoyu to change into brand new clothes, and made good tea. Although Baoyu already wanted to send off the attacker, she had been together for ten years, and she had the same feelings as before. Seeing her reddish eyes, pink and smooth to the touch, she couldn't help asking: "Why are you crying so hard?"

Xiren forced a smile and said, "Why did you cry? It's because dust got into your eyes when someone was packing up. The second master has finished his tea, so go to the Musk Moon Room. Only the wife has already ordered me to come down. I have to obey."

Baoyu was even more puzzled, and frowned, "What new clothes am I wearing at home? What does it have to do with Musk Moon?"

The two Qiuwen and Bihen congratulated Baoyu with smiles, saying: "Today is a good day for the second master and sister Sheyue, why shouldn't you wear new clothes and go to the new house? Second master, go quickly, don't make Sheyue wait for a long time. "

Baoyu is intelligent by nature. After hearing this, he understood three points in his heart. He couldn't help looking at Xiren, only to see that she had turned her head away, as if busy, and although Qiu Wen and Bihen obeyed Xiren's orders in everything, But there was no jealousy in my heart, and I pushed Baoyu to the Sheyue room with a smile, and then closed the door.

Because Baoyu was about to get married, Qingwen was grateful to him for saving her life and added makeup to herself, so she personally embroidered a pattern of mandarin ducks and lotuses, and asked someone to make a small kang screen, and asked Mingyan to hand it over to Baoyu. The moon is a concubine, Xiren loses her mind and laughs out loud.

Mingyan smacked her lips quietly, and said with a smile, "Auntie is so happy?"

Qingwen smiled for a long time, Fang raised her eyebrows and said: "Naturally. I have fallen into this situation today. Although I am not good at being a human being, many people have slandered me after the second wife, and it is also because my appearance hinders them. The old lady gave Baoyu the eye again, but why didn’t Habaer talk behind his back because of the western flower idea, everyone in the house knows that she is the only one who is good, and we are all vixen who instigated Baoyu to make trouble. I'm happy to know that she's not happy. I just didn't expect Sheyue to be so calm. She doesn't have a virtuous name or appearance like me. In the future, Second Grandma Bao will definitely tolerate her."

Speaking of this, Qingwen was overjoyed, and said: "Sheyue is different from me. She was trained and educated by Xiren, and she follows Xiren's lead in everything. Now she has surpassed Xiren and become Baoyu's housemate. Xiren doesn't know how much she hates her." What's the matter?" After speaking, he ordered some people to make some wine and dishes, and sent the little girl to Fangguan and others to come over for a gathering and tell them the good news.

Qingwen came out of the cabinet in August. Before she left the cabinet, she had arranged for the girls who lived with her. They all looked very good, and they learned needlework from Qingwen. Ouguan and Ruiguan love each other, they are still showing Baoyu the outside of the house before they are married, and the rest are married, so they are not far from Qingwen's house for the convenience of taking care of them.

Mingyan shook her head, took the kang screen and left, while Wang Yun had known about his wife's past, and had analyzed her past for her in his spare time. , The jade moves and the pearl shakes.

Fang Guan rolled up his sleeves, the four silver bracelets on his wrists jingled, and said: "Exhaust, exhale, it's time to come to the sea."

After the night banquet in Yihong Courtyard, Ouguan had seen Xiren’s actions and words and deeds to Fangguan with his own eyes. He poured wine for Fangguan himself. Too drunk to go home."

Douguan nodded at the side, and said again: "Don't be too complacent, who knows that Xiren and Miss Bao are very close? It's nothing if Sheyue crosses the Ming Road first. When Miss Bao enters the door, Miss Bao will be sure. Pay more attention to Xiren and despise musk moon, until then, Xiren will still be satisfied, and these years, two taels of silver a month every month is not for nothing."

Ruiguan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. We have experienced the past two years outside to gradually understand the world, just like sister Qingwen said, it is too much to attack people's virtuous names, it is actually grandma's style, how can Miss Bao tolerate it?" Such a person? On the contrary, Musk Moon is more honest and responsible."

But Xiren is just being honest and responsible on the surface, and has a lot of thoughts underneath. Except for Mrs. Wang, no one knows that she has long been Baoyu's person.

Qingwen clapped the table and said: "Let's just watch what happens to them in the future, and we can always see the end. Come, drink, punch, and have a good day today. If you get drunk, I will send someone door to door to take you home."

Having said that, these girls have known the truth of cherishing blessings through the experience of the world. They are no longer like when they were in the garden, they were happy and forgot the pain of being displaced, and they made grudges everywhere, and most of them were married. Fighting during the banquet, but drank less wine, remembering the time when they laughed and scolded in the mansion and no one stopped them, they each sighed, saying that they could never go back to the past, and only living a good life would be worthy of Baoyu's arrangement.

Not only did they get the news, but Daiyu also heard about Zijuan when she came home from Weibo's mansion.Although Zijuan's family married her with Zijuan, Daiyu didn't like the many bad habits of Jia's servants, and didn't arrange a very decent job with them, and didn't take them to Ping'an Prefecture when they left Beijing, so they stayed behind. When he was in the capital, he didn't break friendship with the servants of the Jia family, so he knew the details of the Jia family very well.

Daiyu didn't take it to heart, she was worried about Weimu's illness every day, and she came and went in a hurry, fortunately, there were few people in the family and things were simple, so how could she have time to pay attention to the dispute over the attacking musk moon?Even Sister Feng reported that she didn't care about Li Wan intending to ask her to marry Jia Lan. She also said she knew about it, so she ordered Xueyan to say, "Find out the new cloak I made a while ago."

Xueyan said: "Miss, you made several pieces this year. Which one are you looking for?" Daiyu has grown taller since she came out of the pavilion. I made a few new ones with my apprentice filial piety.

Daiyu had just changed into her homely clothes and sat on the kang, and said: "That fox fur cloak, I'll bring it to the old lady tomorrow." Mother Wei woke up for a while today, thinking that her cloak was too plain, Mrs. Wei mentioned that Wei Ruolan was brave, and she was rewarded and filial. There were many good leather cloaks in the family, especially the brightly colored Firefox cloak that Daiyu wore, which made her look happy.

This Firefox cloak was made by Wei Ruolan back then when he was hunting foxes, it is different from others, because Daiyu was reluctant to part with it and kept it well, in the past two years she has put together a section of Firefox fur at the hem, the stitching is perfect, and she has changed her face again. Go out and go in and still wear clothes.

Mother Wei really liked it, and asked Daiyu if she had any Firefox furs at home, and made one herself.

When Xueyan heard this, she was not very happy, and said: "The old lady is old and sick. How can she wear a cloak when she lies on the kang every day? Even if she wants to wear a brighter cloak, any cloak can be exchanged for a bright red one." For saving face, why ask the girl for it. We saved two or three years to pick out the same color of Firefox fur, which is only enough to make this cloak."

Daiyu laughed and said, "After following me for so many years, I'm about to leave the house soon. When did I learn to be so stingy? Since the old lady wants it, we should show filial piety to her. Otherwise, outsiders will know and think we are not filial. "

Xueyan is 20 years old this year, Niu Fang begged Daiyu several times, if Wei's mother hadn't been seriously ill, their marriage would have been settled long ago.

Hearing Daiyu's joke, Xueyan blushed, and said, "I'll go and wrap that cloak, lest I forget it tomorrow morning." After all, she felt a little dissatisfied with Wei's mother and Mrs. Wei, muttering Lifted the curtain and went out.

Wei Ruolan heard about it when she came back at night, she was silent for a long time, and said: "I have wronged you, I even have to send out the clothes I made. Now I am often in the suburbs of Beijing, and I will pack them for you and bring them back when I am training soldiers Wei Ruolan was a bit uncomfortable, but she was not dissatisfied. After all, the old man was already very confused by now, but Mrs. Wei was so annoying. It's not that there are brightly colored cloaks, but Daiyu's Firefox cloak is named after her.

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's just a piece of clothing. Why do you feel wronged? It's gone this year, and I'll save up one in two years. It's not that I can't wear this one. Besides, my grandmother is not an outsider. Grandfather loves you so much, let alone a cloak, even the grandmother who made it this year has his eyes on it, and I can give it to you."

The next day, she went to Wei Bo's mansion to bring the very bright Firefox cloak and unpacked it. Mrs. Wei immediately smiled and praised Daiyu for her filial piety.

Two days later, when Daiyu went to serve the sick again, Mrs. Wei was not there, and Aunt Wei told her that Mrs. Liu wore that cloak when she went out to entertain.

Daiyu smiled slightly when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "I've expected it a long time ago." Mrs. Wei didn't mention anything else, just asking Mother Wei for the Firefox cloak, Daiyu knew that Mrs. Wei must have her own ideas.

Aunt Wei San stared and said: "Since you expected it, why did you bring it here? Firefox fur is rare, and you can't find ten pieces in the whole capital. Each one is worth thousands of gold, and your cloak is made of Firefox fur of the same color." , the whole body is the same color, which is especially rare. I can't see such a person the most. He has been in charge of the family for many years, and he can't change the pettiness of his birth."

Daiyu opened her mouth and said, "I haven't been in the capital for the past few years, I heard that the mansion has a lot of people going out, but not a lot of people going in, so life is not very comfortable?"

Aunt Wei San snorted, and said: "That's right, everyone in the house doesn't know how to be frugal, that's all, the aristocratic family has this disease, but they have to take care of the old man and Brother Yuan, and Brother Yuan just married again." Dear, but also need to exchange favors, how can the income of their farmland shops be enough to spend?" Seeing that Wei Ruolan has a bright future, why are Wei Bo and Wei Yuan not in a hurry?I can't wait to replace it, and make friends with high-ranking officials more and more frequently. Since I walk around frequently, the expenses will increase several times.

Daiyu's eyes were deep in thought, Wei Ruolan divided the family when she came out, although the family property was divided into three shares, each of the three houses got one share, impartial, but the ancestral house and ancestral property belonged to the first house, which was twice as much as that of the second house and the third house .The master of Wei Bo's mansion is much less than the third uncle's house, and the income of the Zhuangtian shop is more than before.

Aunt Wei San didn't know what Daiyu was thinking, and continued: "If I hadn't heard from my natal nephew and daughter-in-law last night, I wouldn't have known that Mrs. Liu boasted in front of people that a Firefox cloak was nothing when she went out to socialize a few days ago. There's one too."

Daiyu was stunned, and said: "So that's how it is. I said why are they planning on my cloak."

Third Aunt Wei nodded, and was about to say more when she heard the little girl running in to say that Mrs. Wei was here. On the way, the two of them covered up the topic. After a while, they saw Mrs. Wei coming in holding Liu's hand, and the latter No Firefox cape on.

Mrs. Wei even said that the house was busy, which made them work hard, and smiled at Third Aunt Wei and Daiyu: "The tenth day of the next day will be the day when Jia Jiabao's brother and son get married. They are a marriage bestowed by the virtuous concubine, and they will definitely be lively." Extremely, the old lady has me here, you don't have to come over in the next two days, and go to have a wedding with Yuan's daughter-in-law."

Aunt Wei San flatly refused: "The old lady is sick, what do we say when we go to a wedding and watch the fun? Outsiders hear about it, and they might call us unfilial! I discussed it with Lan's daughter-in-law, and we are too polite to go. , I guess they will understand."

Aunt Wei San sneered, looking at her, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't like it.

Mrs. Wei had no choice but to say: "I know you are all filial, but thinking that our family will not go to the mistress, it would be a little contemptuous of their family. After all, Lange's daughter-in-law grew up there."

Daiyu said lightly, "Grandmother and second elder brother Bao are considerate of my illness at home. I have already sent someone to give gifts to tell them. Grandmother agrees with my actions very much. She even said that taking care of grandma is the most important thing. I have prepared generous gifts. It is not impolite to send the housekeeper to deliver it in person tomorrow. Therefore, the eldest wife does not have to do this."

Suddenly they heard that Ping'an came out and said that Mother Wei was awake, they all stopped talking and walked into Mother Wei's bedroom, Mother Wei was sitting and drinking tea leaning on the big pillow, she looked very good, she was more energetic than when she asked for the cloak.

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat, remembering the time when her parents were in high spirits before they died.

Thinking of this, she and Third Aunt Wei looked at each other, the latter didn't know what to do, she nodded lightly towards Daiyu, saw Mrs Wei approaching to show her courtesy, she gave a slight sneer, only to hear Mother Wei reprimanding Mrs Wei: " Something happened to your master, why are you smiling like this in front of me? Hurry up and give your master some money!"

Mrs. Wei was stunned, and said with a smile: "The master only went out in the morning, why did anything happen when he was fine? Who does the old lady listen to gossip?"

Without saying a word, a daughter-in-law in charge stumbled in, her hair was disheveled, her face was full of tears, and she said: "Old lady, lady, it's not good, something happened to the master, I heard that not only is he dismissed from office, but also his title will be cut off."

Mrs. Wei stood up abruptly, and the chair under her body fell back on the ground following her movements, and asked, "What did you say?"

The daughter-in-law in charge continued: "Master has been taken off his crown and taken into custody. I don't know what crime he will be convicted of. The master's entourage rushed back and asked his wife to get some money."

Wei's mother turned pale with shock, her chest couldn't breathe, so she gave up.
