Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Wei regretted it so much that she wished she hadn't pushed Wei's mother to ask Daiyu for clothes in order to satisfy her daughter-in-law.

In any case, she never expected that Mrs. Liu would make up her own mind, and gave away the clothes she had worn as new ones, and gave them to Princess Jing'an. She always thought that Mrs. Liu had no choice but to wear them because she couldn't wear them. Give it to your natal sister, anyway, your own sister will not dislike the cloak that my sister wore once, and besides changing face, they don't say that outsiders don't know it's old clothes.At that time, she also hoped that Miss Liu San would enter Mingti County's mansion as a concubine safely, so that she could ask Mingti County King to promote Wei Yuan.

When Princess Jing'an came to call, Mrs. Wei heard it in the main courtyard, she fell down angrily, and secretly scolded Mrs. Liu for being extremely stupid, who knew that Princess Jing'an had already left before she rushed over, so she could only reprimand Liu severely. After a while, she hurriedly bought some gifts and ordered her to go to Jing'an Princess's mansion to make amends in person. She wanted to go by herself, but she couldn't go because her filial obedience had not been removed and it was the end of the year.

Mrs. Wei originally hated Daiyu for being troublesome. If she didn't often wear those priceless things, how could Mrs. Liu be tempted and boast in front of others, so that today's disaster happened.She was also afraid that Daiyu would remember the past and add fuel to Princess Jing'an, so she didn't come to ask Daiyu to intercede after the incident.I don't want to, Princess Jing'an lived up to his bad reputation in the past, not only ordered people to beat out the Liu family who came to make amends, but also used the power of his father and husband to seize Wei Yuan's supervisor, and let out rumors that no one was allowed to help Uncle Wei recover.

Mrs. Wei is completely devoid of spirits, almost fainting. The rest of her life depends on her husband and son to restore their honor. She especially values ​​the future of her only son. Now that Uncle Wei has not returned after sending the coffin back to the south, he does not know what is good. When I came back to hear the news, I didn't know how to end it, so I came here and begged Wei Ruolan and Daiyu to take action, and asked Zhongshun Prince's Mansion and Princess Jing'an to forgive me.

At the same time, she also ordered four-color gifts, and asked Liu Shi to ask her good family friends to respond, hoping that they would help her family.

Wei Ruolan is very busy during the day, and he often goes to work before Daiyu wakes up. Except for the days of rest and bathing, he only sits with Daiyu after get off work and talks about some big and small things during dinner. In front of the Kang table.

Mrs. Wei knelt down in front of her, and Daiyu hurriedly got up and got off the kang, trying to avoid it, she might as well step on the ground and almost fall.

Wei Ruolan had sharp eyes and quick hands, and quickly leaned over to catch Daiyu. Seeing her pale face, she hurriedly asked, "Did you get scared? Did you hurt your feet?" Seeing her bare feet stepping on the ground, luckily the room was covered with thick flooring The brocade carpet is not cold.

Daiyu was still in shock, put her hands on his shoulders, and it took a long time to recover. She thought of Mrs. Wei kneeling on the ground, gathered herself together, shook her head and said, "It's okay, don't worry. The eldest lady is here, first listen to what the eldest lady has to say." As he spoke, he signaled the servant girl to lift the dinner kang table down, and ordered the maidservant who rushed over behind Mrs. Wei to help Mrs. Wei take her seat.

Mrs. Wei knelt upright, swung away the maid who was helping her, refused to get up, stared at Wei Ruolan with red eyes, repeated her reason for coming, her tone was full of pleading.

Wei Ruolan led Daiyu away, helped Daiyu to sit on a huanghuali armchair below, knelt down to put on shoes with her, ordered someone to take a pedal to step on her feet, Fang turned around, cold Face said: "Benyuan is also a man with a crown, and he has already married and established a business. How can I make trouble? The eldest lady asks herself, what have you done? The man is alive, whether he is studying or practicing martial arts. , Duties and divisions are all useful, where do you need others to drag you?"

When Wei Ruolan was not succeeded, as the eldest son, how could she dare to talk back like this?Mrs. Wei said one thing at Wei's house, and when she heard this, she was about to explode immediately, but thinking of asking for help from others at this time, she could only suppress the anger in her heart, and instead of answering Wei Ruolan's question, she cried: "Your sister-in-law doesn't care about you?" I didn't mean to insult Princess Jing'an. I asked her. I don't know why the Liu family sent the clothes she gave to the sister to Mingti County Prince's Mansion, and then into the hands of Princess Jing'an. Your brother and sister were kind. It's a pity that the clothes were moldy and ruined. I didn't expect these things to happen. I regretted so much that I couldn't get sick. After all, we are a family, and the bones and tendons are broken, just for the sake of the master. You and your daughter-in-law should also fight for your brother and his brother-in-law."

Wei Ruolan sneered and said: "In this way, if we don't help, our husband and wife are heartless and unjust? Don't you say that in front of me, the eldest wife, I don't have such skills. I was kicked out of the Imperial Prison for some reason, I probably listen to it Let’s talk about it, he didn’t do those things, how could the Imperial College wrong him? After all, it’s because I have done it before, so that people have a reason to be punished.”

Wei Yuan's appearance is mediocre, and his talent is also mediocre. When Wei Ruolan was young, she was delayed for several years and could not go to school, but her homework at that time was far better than that of Wei Yuan now, let alone now.Wei Yuan can't study well, can't learn martial arts, he knows a little bit of both civil and martial arts, but fortunately, he has a high-minded heart, he only wants to get ahead, he doesn't do anything wrong, but he is better than ordinary dudes.

Because of his mediocre literary talents and martial arts skills, when Wei Yuan was usually lazy, he had to ask someone to do his homework for him, and he even cheated in exams.Wei Ruolan did this before. He studied with the gentleman hired by Miaozhen. After marriage, it was the same as usual. He still hired the gentleman to teach himself in the mansion. Ruolan thought it was better than her own, so she quietly copied it and sent it to her, which won her husband's praise. Occasionally, there were endless homework, but Daiyu did it for him.

In the past, the Imperial College was afraid of the power of the Uncle Wei’s Mansion, and because many of the sons of aristocratic families who came in through shadows and those who received donations in the Imperial College had no literary talents, they often did this. He expelled.Now that Wei Bo's Mansion has lost power, and the Prince Zhongshun's Mansion and Princess Jing'an spoke out, the Guozijian uncovered the old case and used it as a crime, which did not wrong Wei Yuan.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly said: "The Guozijian just wants to impose a crime. There is no excuse. Your brother is young and honest. What have you done? It's just that the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the wall fell and everyone pushed it. I saw the master was dismissed and dismissed. , one by one is alienated, or makes trouble. I don’t ask for anything else, I just ask Lang Geer to erase his crimes for him, return to the Imperial College, so that he can study well, and then ask the county master to speak a few words in front of the Jing’an princess, Make amends for your brother and daughter-in-law, and the two families will reconcile."

Seeing Mrs. Wei's straightforward behavior, Wei Ruolan said angrily: "What does this matter have to do with my wife? Why should she be asked to make amends to Princess Jing'an? If the eldest wife is interested, she can ask Mrs. Liu to ask for it herself. Princess Jing'an's understanding, Princess Jing'an's forgiveness, everything will naturally be resolved."

Mrs. Wei's complexion changed, and she was about to speak when Daiyu had already opened her mouth.

Daiyu and Wei Ruolan stood side by side, neither in front of Mrs. Wei, she felt sorry for Wei Ruolan who couldn't put on shoes face to face because of Mrs. Wei's presence, and said: "That's right, instead of coming to me and the uncle, the eldest lady should let me Mrs. Liu made three introspections a day, knowing that she was wrong, and then went to ask Princess Jing'an. Although the dress belonged to me at first, it was not my fault, so I shouldn't go. Mrs. Liu was rewarded by the old lady first, I didn't say anything, but then something happened, and she was filial, she couldn't wear it, even if she was pressed at the bottom of the box, it would be fine, who knew that she had such a thought and did such a thing, it was all done by her alone, How can you blame others? Not to mention a piece of clothing, even gold, silver, jade, emerald, and precious pearls, even if you have worn it yourself, you can’t pretend it’s new and give it away.”

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wei's face sank like water, and said: "So, are you planning to stand by and ignore it? You don't even care about their master's back? Don't you care about any kindness? Yuan'er and his wife Wrong, as brothers and sisters-in-law, you should teach them well, instead of throwing stones at you! Ask in the capital, who doesn't know that you two are so favored by the emperor, and we can't solve the problem even if we run away It's just a word in front of you. Brother Lang said a word, who doesn't give face to civil and military officials in the court? You are on good terms with Princess Jing'an, and you plead for Yuan's daughter-in-law, how can Princess Jing'an continue to pursue it?"

Daiyu laughed back angrily, and before she could speak, Wei Ruolan was very protective: "What did the eldest lady say? Could it be that a nephew with some power should bend the law for personal gain? Unfortunately, my nephew is unwilling to do so. If the government It is my nephew's help, many people know about it, even if Yuanyuan returns to the Imperial College, it will not be beneficial. According to my nephew, it is better to let Yuanyuan study hard at home, and wait for his temper to calm down. After the situation has changed, it is the best policy to find a way to become an official."

Although he thought in his heart that based on Uncle Wei and Wei Yuan's temperament, their father and son would be safe only if they did not stay in official positions, but it is true that the two of them have no talent, and they both want to do the work of the dragon, which is the most taboo thing for Emperor Changtai , this time without hesitation, he approved the impeachment of the Liu family, which is probably because of this, but outsiders don't think so, and they all think that Princess Jing'an is making a fuss out of a molehill.

After Mrs. Wei heard it, her face was full of dissatisfaction.

Daiyu sighed, and said: "Mistress, think about it, what the old man said is justified and unreasonable. Princess Jing'an is angry, and since no one can ease it, it is better to just listen to the old man and avoid these two years. People remember this, let’s talk about other things.” At the time when the princes are fighting, only by avoiding can the safety of Uncle Wei’s family be kept.Even if their family separated from Uncle Wei, they are still in the fifth server, they are a family in the eyes of outsiders, once Uncle Wei and Wei Yuan join the prince, outsiders will feel that Wei Ruolan has the same intentions.

Wei Ruolan couldn't explain the inside story to Mrs. Wei, he couldn't tell Mrs. Wei that it's a bad thing to take refuge in the princes, and it would make Emperor Changtai dissatisfied. If word spread, he would become a target of public criticism, so he continued Daiyu's words: "Mr. My wife is worried about Benyuan's future, and my nephew understands it very well, but Eldest Master Ding You, Yuanyuan is young, and the power in front of him is too hot to touch, so it's better to be cold."

It's a pity that Mrs. Wei didn't understand the painstaking efforts of Wei Ruolan and Daiyu. She couldn't get help from Wei Ruolan and Daiyu. Two days later, Daiyu heard rumors about her husband and wife being ruthless and ungrateful at other family banquets.

It's fine to say that she and Wei Ruolan just stood by and watched, but who knew that she made up countless lies, saying that she deliberately gave the clothes to Liu Shi to make him look bad, and that she and Princess Jing'an secretly played tricks, using the Firefox cloak as an excuse, She didn't want to ask Wei Yuan to become an official, but also said that Wei Ruolan was cold-hearted and ruthless. She was afraid that Uncle Wei's family would revolt and overwhelm her, so she intentionally charged Wei Yuan with crimes and secretly asked the people from the Imperial College to drive Wei Yuan out. There were different opinions, but none of them mentioned Wei Yuan. The reasons for being expelled and Liu's being beaten are not Wei Ruolan and Daiyu's fault.

Daiyu is not afraid of the slanting shadow, she doesn't take it seriously, but she dislikes Mrs. Wei even more.

This is just a trivial matter, Princess Jing'an was also afraid that she would wear old clothes and make everyone know that she looked ugly, so she didn't say anything, and outsiders dared not discuss it, so this gossip must come from Uncle Wei's house. An old lady present here taught her earnestly that brothers working together is the way to prosperity, and she and Wei Ruolan shouldn't be so stingy and not let their brothers stand out.

This old lady is none other than Qi Shu, the empress dowager's natal sister-in-law, and she has the order of the third rank.

The empress dowager’s father’s surname is Li. After Emperor Changtai ascended the throne, because her daughter was the empress dowager, she was granted the first-class title, which is equivalent to the empress’s father, but only for one generation. My elder brother had to wait until now to take up the position of the third rank.

Qi Shuren's maiden name is Qi, but she is the aunt of Concubine Qi Shu's direct relative. The granddaughter of the concubine, Xiao Li, is the concubine of King Mingti County, and is very much loved by King Mingti County, so both the Li family and the Qi family support Mingti County very much. The king, wishing to win over the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to be used by the king of Mingti County, so that Emperor Changtai canonize the king of Mingti County as the prince.

The Li family originally wanted to marry their granddaughter to the king of Mingti County as a concubine, and the empress dowager was also very willing. However, Emperor Changtai hired him in the palace so that the eldest Li could go home and hire another daughter from a famous family, which is today's Princess of Mingti County.

Therefore, Qi Shuren believed that she was the empress dowager's sister-in-law, known as Mrs. Guojiu, and she was very respectable in front of people. Fang taught Daiyu, saying: "The county lord, don't think I'm talkative. They say that brothers are of one mind to cut money. Dushi Wei and his cousin are from the same lineage, you husband and wife should deal with them on their behalf."

The Liu family and Wei Yuan wanted to seek refuge with King Mingti County, and the Liu family sent such a cloak to embarrass Princess Mingti County in front of Princess Jing'an. Naturally, the people of Qi Shu didn't want the Liu family and Uncle Wei's family to fail. She doesn't care about her family either. Although Prince Zhongshun is high and powerful, Prince Mingti is the current parent after all.

At this moment, she did not forget that Princess Mingti sent a Firefox cloak to Princess Jing'an, just to win Prince Zhongshun's mansion for King Mingti. In fact, she wished that Princess Mingti would be hated by Princess Jing'an because of this matter He fell out of favor in front of King Mingti.

Daiyu stared at Qi Shuren for a moment, smiled faintly, and said, "I don't know what Shuren means by the word Zhouxuan? My uncle made a mistake in the Imperial Prison, and he was not wronged to be dealt with like this. Of course, my husband knows. Our uncle is young, if he relies on his power to order the Guozijian to withdraw his former order, what will it be? It makes people laugh. So our uncle means to let the uncle think about his mistakes behind closed doors, and wait until he corrects before talking about other things. As for my sister-in-law Princess Jing'an is magnanimous for the stupid things she did, and she has not pursued them anymore, and she didn't do anything to my sister-in-law, so why should I deal with the uncle?"

Princess Jing'an naturally did not admit that it was her mother-in-law who spoke together that caused Wei Yuan's accident, and interjected following Daiyu's words: "That's right, I threw it away when I got angry, and didn't mean to kill them all. Then Wei Yuan made a mistake in the Imperial College. , The Liu family has been corrupt and accepted bribes in office, and it is unfair to rely on us. Besides, why did the county magistrate Jingxiao ignore it? If she hadn't sent someone to come to me early in the morning, she would say all kinds of good things and pay me a whole lot of money. A better dress, I will not let Liu Shi go lightly."

Glancing over everyone, Princess Jing'an said again: "As for those untrue rumors and rumors, I don't know where they come from. What kind of thing is the Liu family? How many civil and military ranks surpassed him? It is not impossible to be appointed as a marquis in the future. That Wei Yuan is just a supervisor, not even an official. Could it be that the county magistrate Jingxiao honored his grandmother before she died? Wrong? Nanny Liu, tell me how that dress got into Mrs. Liu's hands."

Daiyu agrees with Princess Jing'an's intention in her heart, but in front of everyone, she said: "What are the old things, why bring them up?"

Princess Jing'an glanced at her, and said with a smile: "It's time to make it clear, lest the three of us become tigers and follow what others say, and we two innocent people will become heinous people."

Daiyufang was in a state of contemplation, and said to Madam Liu: "Just talk about the clothes."

Mother Liu complied, and gave Daiyu the big brightly colored dress that Mother Wei had taken a fancy to before she passed away. He told Liu Shi and others about it, and finally said: "Our county lord was originally a filial piety. If he didn't want to give it, he said it was ready and sent it. It made sense. Our county lord is sincere. Send the things you love. Could it be that the county lord anticipated what will happen this year when he honored the old lady that year? Even Zhuge Kongming, who is so clever, doesn’t have such a skill. It’s even more nonsense to join forces with the princess to design Grandma Yuan to make a fool of herself.”

Concubine Nan'an smiled and said: "So that's the case. If it wasn't for those gossips, I wouldn't even know that the clothes belonged to County Lord Jingxiao. I just said that the envoy of Wei Jie and County Lord Jingxiao are both clever and filial. I have kept myself safe for the past few years, how could it be like those people said. I really don’t know what those gossips are thinking about, and things that have no shadow have become big things after their mouths.”

After hearing this, everyone agreed very much. They blamed the person who spread the rumors inside and outside the words, but did not mention their own rumors. Qi Shuren felt so boring, smiled embarrassingly, and said: "So, I was wrong. Xiao County Lord."

Daiyu even said that she was deceived, and Qi Shu felt more at ease.

Mrs. Wei was running around to make arrangements, and she was so busy that she heard that Qi Shu was speaking for their family. She had a thought, and hurriedly sent Mrs. Liu to pay a visit to Li's house with a generous gift. He didn't wipe out Wei Yuan's misdeeds in the Imperial College, and he couldn't save the Liu family, but he sought the post of Chief Historian of Mingti County Prince's Mansion for Wei Yuan.
