[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

78,

Wen Renlin glanced at Daiyu proudly, but Daiyu pretended not to know that a new dish happened to be served, which was pheasant soup made with fresh mushrooms from the mountains.Daiyu took a sip, and the taste was fragrant, and the fresh mushrooms were even more tender and juicy.

Seeing Daiyu's disapproval, Wen Renlin felt bored, so he stopped talking and just concentrated on eating the banquet.

Such a banquet naturally has no shortage of singing and dancing. After a dance, several ministers and women will perform.This is a common practice. In the past few years, several women were selected as concubines in the palace because of their talents. This opportunity was regarded by many women as an opportunity.

Daiyu was fortunate enough to see beautiful women performing arts, which was a great pleasure for the eyes and the eyes.

After a burst of drumming, a woman in a green shirt came forward, with long sleeves thrown out, she was graceful and graceful, and moved her lotus steps lightly in accordance with the sound of the drum. This woman stepped forward and knelt down to worship the emperor and the empress.

Although the emperor had never been fond of women, he never paid more attention to her dancing posture. Seeing that the emperor was interested, the empress deliberately facilitated this, and said: "I heard that the granddaughter of the Duke of Qi is both talented and beautiful. I saw her today." The rumors are true, reward!"

The granddaughter of the Duke of Qi, whose surname is Chen and whose name is Nujiao, smiled slightly and immediately thanked the Empress.

The eldest concubine Shi Shi said: "My daughter-in-law has something to ask my father and queen mother."

Shi's family has always been prudent, and this is so in public, the queen couldn't help but look at her and asked: "But it's okay, the queen mother will make the decision for you."

Shi stepped forward, knelt down and worshiped the empress, and said, "The eldest daughter-in-law is willing to marry Miss Chen for her husband, and she is willing to treat her as the Queen E."

After saying this, everyone in the venue was in an uproar, and the eldest prince walked out immediately and said: "Father, empress, forgive me, she just drank two more glasses and talked nonsense."

The emperor squinted his eyes at the First Prince and Shi Shi, and saw that Shi Shi's eyes were clear, clearly conscious, so he immediately ignored the First Prince's anxious expression and asked Shi Shi directly: "Really?"

The Shi family bowed heavily to the emperor, and said: "My daughter-in-law has been honored by the emperor. She has been married to her husband for many years, and he treats me with every possible consideration. However, my daughter-in-law cannot give birth to a boy and a half girl for him. It's a pity. It is a great comfort to have a concubine in the mansion a few days ago. Seeing Miss Chen's character and beauty today, the minister and daughter-in-law have the heart to ask for the husband, and they are willing to follow the example of E Huang Nvying, and hope that the father and queen will be fulfilled."

Shi Shi's words can be said to be virtuous and generous, Daiyu could not help being startled when she heard the ministers praise the eldest princess Shi Shi for being the mother of the country.

The emperor was naturally quite happy when he heard these words, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Nujiao. Chen Nujiao's face remained unchanged, and he said immediately: "It's a great honor for a girl to be favored by the eldest princess."

After Chen Nujiao finished speaking, she lowered her head, completely acting like a child.

Seeing this appearance, she naturally agreed, and the queen didn't want to say much, but there is only one princess and concubine. Since the founding of this dynasty, there has been no marriage, so she couldn't help sighing: "You are a lady of the Duke's Mansion, so I don't care about you." It should be the main wife, so I have wronged you."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but said: "Queen, although there hasn't been such a thing of equalizing wives in this dynasty, but the eldest daughter-in-law is begging, it's better to grant her this kind of wish."

The queen nodded, and the matter was settled. Shi Shi smiled happily and thanked the emperor three times.

Because Chen Nujiao, the Duke of Qi, was in front, all the women behind her were pale, and others only praised Shi Shi for being virtuous.

After the banquet, the crowd dispersed, and Daiyu ate two extra mouthfuls because of her greediness, so she deliberately walked away for fear of accumulating food, so she saw Wen Renlin walking along the path in the other courtyard with Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't know whether to admire or be afraid of Shi Shi because of the incident at the banquet.

Wen Renlin seemed to know what Daiyu was thinking, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law is a virtuous person. I don't know how many people have said it behind her back all these years because she has nothing to say, but she just pretended not to know it. She just accepted it. In a blink of an eye I also begged Chen Nujiao for the big emperor brother, and it was really ring after ring, completely blocked those tongue-twisters, not only blocked it, but also won a great sage, my big emperor brother married She is really lucky for three lives."

Daiyu heard Wen Renlin's tone of sarcasm, and knew that he was not used to Shi's way of life. Thinking that Shi's behavior was unspeakable, she couldn't help but look at Wen Renlin and said, "Look at Qi Guogong Chen. The young lady's appearance must also be of a pure heart."

Wen Renlin couldn't help but grinned and said, "Mrs. Shi was born in the mansion of Duke Shan. At first my eldest brother married her because of the emperor's will. Now that King Fanjun has been arrested and the emperor sees his loss of power, the mansion of Duke Shan must have secretly decided to marry her." Abandoning the emperor, Qi Guogong is just forming an alliance with Shan Guogong!"

Daiyu could not help saying, "You know a lot."

Wen Renlin smiled, took Daiyu's hand and said, "These are just my guesses."

When Daiyu heard this, she lightly touched Wen Renlin's head with her index finger and said, "So it's all your nonsense."

Wen Renlin laughed, pinched Daiyu's index finger with his backhand and pulled it to his chest, saying: "I heard that when people are lying, their heart beats faster, and my wife can feel it."

Daiyu pulled out her hand and scolded with a smile: "You are so thick-skinned!"

Seeing Daiyu like this, Wen Renlin immediately laughed. Seeing him making fun of herself, Daiyu immediately wanted to tickle him. While they were fighting, they heard rumors from afar that dozens of cats had come down from the mountain. The wolf, surrounded by other courtyards, was reluctant to leave.

Wen Renlin heard this, and ordered Daiyu to go back first, and called the person who had sent the message: "It's just a few wolves, if you drive them away, you can just kill them."

The guard immediately said after hearing this: "In the beginning, two were shot to death, but those wolves gathered more and more like they were not afraid of death. The subordinate estimated that there were nearly a hundred of them."

"So many!" Wen Renlin was surprised.

"There are hunts every year. I've never encountered such a thing. I'm afraid there's a reason for it." Gao Qi came from a distance and said to Wen Renlin.

Seeing that the emperor's confidant was here, Wen Renlin called Mr. Gao, and said, "With Mr. Gao here, it must not be difficult."

Gao Qi glanced at Wen Renlin, smiled to himself, and said, "Your Highness Fifth is doing well, and His Highness's wedding is not in time for asking for a glass of wedding wine."

Gao Qi has always been a loner, and never got involved with others too much. Now that he said this, Wen Renlin couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately said: "Master Gao has a heart, why don't you have a spare time and invite Master Gao to have a drink."

Gao Qi smiled slightly, looked at the beeswax dagger on Wen Renlin's waist and said, "Give my regards to the princess."

After saying this, he took the person who sent the message and walked straight outside.

Wen Renlin was left alone, and said that Wen Renlin knew that Gao Qi and Dai Yu knew each other well, but he couldn't figure out what Gao Qi meant. The dagger at his waist was of course Dai Yu's original blunt knife. Ever since the two got married, Wen Renlin often carried it with him, and it was regarded as a token of love between the two. Thinking of Takasaki just now, he couldn't help taking out the beeswax dagger, and after a closer look, there was nothing wrong with it, so he Put it on the belt again and go back to the house.

Let's say that Gao Qi gathered people to set up a fire outside the other courtyard to drive away the wolves. The wolves were afraid of the fire, and hid in the depths of the bushes, still wandering, and did not disperse.

Although there are many guards in the royal enclosure, they are unwilling to conflict with such beasts for no reason. Moreover, these wolves do not hurt people on weekdays, and they have always lived in peace. Could it be that something strange happened.

Seeing these wolves lingering, Gao Qi couldn't help feeling anxious.I don't know who told the emperor about the siege by the wolves, so Takasaki had no choice but to report back to the emperor.

The emperor was a little sleepy, and at this time he was sitting cross-legged on the kang with his clothes on, drinking tea.

Gao Qi stepped forward and told about the wolves. The emperor was silent for a while after hearing this.Gao Qi stood aside and his mind was confused. Recently, he may be tired and often in a daze.

The emperor let out a long sigh, and said, "Could it be God's punishment!" As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor laughed at himself, "I am the son of the real dragon, and ghosts and gods do not invade."

Takasaki nodded and said, "Maybe it was the fire last night that accidentally burned the wolf's den, which caused these wolves to change."

The emperor nodded, and told Takasaki to drive the wolves away, and said that the emperor's behavior has become more and more perverse recently. The imperial concubine Zhen, the king of Fan County, and the emperor are seriously ill. worries.

Hearing that the wolves were moving suddenly, he couldn't help but think of ghosts. The emperor had read poetry and books since he was a child, so naturally he didn't believe in ghosts and gods.

Let's say that as soon as Gao Qi went out, he saw the guards approaching him, saying that the pack of wolves was getting more and more.As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the howling of wolves one after another.

Gao Qi shuddered, and immediately ordered people to appease the courtyards, and mobilized dozens of people to climb up the wall and set up torches, which was bound to drive the wolves back.

Wen Renlin went back to the courtyard full of worries, just in time to see Daiyu resting her hairpin and combing her hair, Wen Renlin let Xueyan go down, took Daiyu's comb and combed it again and again.

Being careless, she accidentally tore off Daiyu's hair, and Daiyu grabbed the comb and said, "Die!"

Wen Renlin had something on his mind, and seeing Daiyu's normal expression, he wondered if he was thinking too much, and said, "I just met Takasaki."

Daiyu straightened her hair, turned her head to look at Wen Renlin and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wen Renlin continued: "He seems to recognize this beeswax dagger." After speaking, he untied the dagger and put it on the dressing table.

Daiyu saw that Renlin's shape was twisted, and she felt funny in her heart, touched the beeswax and said: "The Lin family was in trouble at the beginning, if it hadn't been for Mr. Gao to rescue me, I don't know where I am. Speaking of it, I can't repay the great kindness of Mr. Gao. gone."

Wen Renlin felt sad when he heard this, and felt very depressed.Seeing that Daiyu was in a trance again, she seemed to be in deep thought, she stood up and said angrily, "It seems that I have taken people's love away."

Seeing that he was annoyed, Daiyu immediately laughed, pulled Wen Renlin to sit down, and said, "This beeswax dagger was given to me by Mr. Gao, but it's just because I fell in love with him. That's why Mr. Gao is a man of temperament. , acting rashly, not sticking to one pattern, is a true gentleman. I naturally treat him as my elder brother."

Seeing Daiyu's calmness, Wen Renlin thought that he was handsome and noble, and that Takasaki was just a bastard. Although he was favored, he was just a courtier. At that moment, all those careful thoughts disappeared, and he pulled Daiyu held her hand and said: "Since Gao Qi has done you a favor, we should repay it well. But the dagger he gave is too impractical, I will give you a good one later."

After speaking, he threw the beeswax dagger on the bookshelf.

Seeing him pursing his lips and smiling, Daiyu was about to say something sarcastic when she heard wolves howling outside, she jumped in surprise.

Wen Renlin knew that there was a pack of wolves attacking outside the other courtyard, Daiyu heard about this, immediately called Xueyan to carry the little wolf cub out,

Wen Renlin was ashamed when he saw this little wolf cub.Trembling, he said, "No way!"

Daiyu stared, then stuffed the little wolf cub into Wen Renlin's arms, and said righteously: "Go and let this little wolf go, maybe its mother has found it!"

"Why didn't its father come here!" Wen Renlin retorted casually.

Daiyu raised her brows, Wen Renlin carried the little wolf cub and went out of the courtyard, asked a few people and then headed towards Gao Qi. ,

When he saw Gao Qi, he immediately told about the fact that he found the little wolf cub brought back. Gao Qi laughed dryly when he heard it, and then ordered his men to send the little wolf out.

I saw this pure white little wolf ran towards the distant pack of wolves as soon as he went out. The wolf cub was still young, so he fell down after running for two steps, got up, and howled twice, as usual. Run towards the depths of the woods.

Wen Renlin and Gao Qi stood on the top of the wall, saw a pure white giant wolf coming out of the bushes, and whispered twice to the little wolf cub, the little wolf cub whined twice, as if talking, The giant white wolf stepped forward and bit the cub by the back of the neck, carried it and walked towards the depths of the dense forest. It didn't take long for the wolves to retreat.

Immediately Gao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wen Renlin and said: "Your Highness Fifth, you are still a child at heart, and your feelings are because you think we have nothing to do, so you provoked the White Wolf King."

Wen Renlin didn't expect such a trivial matter to cause such a big commotion, so he said with a smile, "When I get back to Beijing, I invite everyone to have a drink."

Takasaki didn't want to get too involved with the prince, and the emperor was suspicious, which was a big taboo.What he said before was just to tease Wen Renlin deliberately, but now that the wolves have retreated, it is important to go back and return to their lives.

Not long after, in order to please his daughter-in-law, Wen Renlin caused the news of the siege by the wolves to spread, causing Daiyu to be laughed at when she saw Shi Shi and others.
