The Red Chamber Collection

Since Cao Xueya left yesterday, he has been busy begging for forgiveness from his friends. He talked about living in Fuyun Nunnery these days to recuperate his wounds. Naturally, his friends wanted to make some jokes elegantly.After leaving the wine, let it go back.

But it is said that the eunuch came to the house unexpectedly, scaring the Cao family up and down. The past is over, so what's the matter?The whole family and several servants knelt on the ground.Cao Xueya said: "I don't know what the father-in-law is doing here?"

The father-in-law smiled without saying a word, motioned everyone to get up with his hands, and teased the parrot in the yard, "Can this parrot talk?"

Before Cao Xueya could speak, the parrot looked at him and said, "Hi, hello, Zicuckoo, here is a guest, Zijuan, here is a guest, pour tea!"

"Oh!" The father-in-law beamed with joy, "I don't know how happy I am if I see you, say one more, say another!"

The parrot looked at the eunuch, "The person who buried the flowers today is laughing like a fool, but who is the one who buried the slaves in the next year?"

"Ah?! Hahahahaha, interesting, who is this Zijuan?" the father-in-law asked Cao Xueya.

"Daiyu's girl, Daiyu's girl!" Before Cao Xueya could answer, the parrot rushed to talk.

Cao Xueya was pleasantly surprised: "My father-in-law, I still don't know who this Zijuan is, but now it can be confirmed that it is Miss's girl. This is really Miss's parrot! This lady is called Lin Daiyu."

"Hehehe, that's right." The father-in-law smiled, thinking of the joy of the queen mother playing with the parrot every day!The Empress Dowager is happy, life as a slave is easier!Then he said, "How much money did you pay for this parrot?"

"If father-in-law likes it, just take it, and treat it as a late student to honor father-in-law!" Cao Xueya said.These father-in-laws rarely go out.Now that he came to the house suddenly, if it was for the parrot, it would not be worth mentioning.I thought something happened at home again!Cao Xueya was sweating.

The father-in-law took out 50 taels of silver from his body, handed it to Cao Xueya and said, "This is rewarded by the current Empress Dowager, you are lucky!"

"Ah?!" Cao Xueya heard that it was a gift from the Empress Dowager, so he hurriedly knelt down to accept the package of imperial silver, "Xiaosheng thanked the Empress Dowager Long En, and wished her a long and prosperous life!"

Cao Xueya was wondering how the Empress Dowager knew she had this parrot, the eunuch had already gone out with the parrot in his hand, laughing.

The queen mother was pleasantly surprised when she saw the parrot.Not only was the parrot cute, but also Daiyu's poems.The emperor looked at Daiyu and said, "I don't know what you want now, let me tell you."

"Menwomen don't dare to say it!" Daiyu knelt down.

"Oh, what are you afraid of? If you tell me, just say it. Why bother!" Swallow chimed in.

"The poem recited by the emperor was written by Baoyu of Jia's mansion. Now he is still young and ignorant, please forgive me!"

"Huh?" The emperor turned and left without saying a word.

The queen mother said: "Girls, you usually do needlework for female reds, these things are not for you to think about!"

Daiyu touched her nose and said yes.I dare not mention it again.The queen mother looked at her pitifully, and Yan Zi liked her so much, if she were to be let go now, the princess would definitely disappear all day long.The Empress Dowager thought of the marriage proposal that the emperor had just proposed to the princess, and thought it was not bad, so she said: "You can stay in this palace for a few days, it is rare to enter the palace, and the swallow will take you around everywhere, it is not in vain to come here once." After the queen mother finished speaking, she said to her father-in-law: "Command me, wherever this child goes, take care of him regardless of etiquette, just like a swallow!" The father-in-law hurriedly claimed that he had left.

Daiyu knelt down and was about to thank her, but she was pulled up by the Queen Mother, "You don't need to be formal these few days! You should be more open-minded. If you keep quiet, I will make you suffer here, and you will kill me. Good intentions! Since ancient times, there has been no such case in the palace, and you have set a precedent!"

Daiyu stood busy and thanked her.

Since then, Daiyu has bathed and changed clothes in the palace.During the day, Yanzi took her around, Daiyu wanted to kneel down to salute when she saw the princess and princess, but Yanzi and her father-in-law stopped her from kneeling.Those princesses and concubines are idle in the palace every day, wishing that such a person would come and talk to them, and the Empress Dowager wanted them to take care of them, so wherever Daiyu went, there was a lot of people's voices and laughter.Daiyu gradually felt relieved, only then did she realize that what the queen mother said was as important as the old lady in Jia's mansion!Yanzi took Daiyu to see the queen again, Daiyu knew the depth, although the queen mother had already made a decree, but this is the current queen, how can she be rude? !It was Princess Yanzi's mother again, the princess could kowtow to her mother's father's grave, thinking of this, she knelt down.The princess smiled and didn't pull it this time.

"Minister Lin Daiyu, greet the Empress Dowager, please greet the Empress Dowager!"

"Hmm!" The Queen Mother said happily, "Quickly help me up, come and sit down!"

Long ago, there was a court lady who was ahead of Yanzi, helped Daiyu, and brought her to the queen.Daiyu didn't dare to sit down, and was pushed down on the pier by the swallow.The queen took Daiyu's hand, looked at it again and again, it was white and clean, with slender and slender fingers, it looked like the hand of a noble concubine in the palace, its appearance was delicate and pitiful.She is also educated, smart and well-behaved, which is better than them.Then he said to Yanzi: "Your emperor Ama still said that you are ridiculous, now it seems that you have been wronged this time!"

Swallow was very happy when she heard her mother praise herself.

"Emperor Niang, after my sister knew that I was a princess, she refused to recognize me as a sister. She was afraid of this, and I only recognized her because of this!" Yu stretched out her armpits.Daiyu couldn't guard against it, she laughed so much that she wanted to fall.Seeing this, the queen hurriedly opened Yanzi's hand and hugged Daiyu, "Look at you, I think you look like a wild girl, and this Daiyu looks like a princess!"

The queen held Daiyu in her arms, it didn't matter much, and she smelled the fragrance of medicine on Daiyu's body, but she couldn't hide her tears.Daiyu saw that it was the queen who was holding her, so she could not fall down, and she was in a hurry to break free.But she couldn't move at all. She watched the queen cry and dared not move, not knowing what happened.The maid brought a handkerchief, and the queen wiped it. "Really poor child, you lost your parents early. Look at your body, it looks like it was cultivated by medicine. How can it be so heavy!" He said some more words, and said: "Stay in the palace for a few more days, pass on the dining room, What you can’t eat outside, they will be served in rotation these days, let her also taste the fresh tributes from this palace!” The father-in-law agreed and retreated.

Daiyu held back her tears, not daring to shed them, she was struggling constantly in her heart.The queen hugged Daiyu, sat down, and wiped the tears from the corners of Daiyu's eyes with a handkerchief, "My child, don't be afraid, cry if you want to cry, don't hold back!"

Hearing this, Daiyu's tears rolled down in big ones as if she had received an order, and her body twitched unceasingly!

"Emperor Niang, look at you, my sister was happy, but you made her cry." Yanzi patted Daiyu lightly and said, "My sister stopped crying, oh! She plays, oh!"

Seeing what Yanzi said, the queen laughed out loud.Although the princess is so old, she is really still a child!How can she understand her own tears, and how can she understand Daiyu's tears?! Seeing how she loves Daiyu now is funny.This swallow also wanted to take care of others, looking at her, she looked like Daiyu was a three-year-old child!But I'm still happy in my heart, this swallow knows how to hurt people, and knows what's good!

"Emperor Niang, are you still laughing?" Seeing the queen, Yanzi still couldn't help laughing, and said, "If you laugh again, I'll take my sister to play somewhere else!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore!" The queen quickly stopped, and wiped Daiyu's tears: "My child, don't cry, ah! If you have any difficulties, tell me!"

Daiyu hurriedly twitched and said, "The empress hugged me and talked to me like this, reminding me of my mother treating me like this when I was a child!"

The queen sighed, "Mothers all over the world have such a heart!"

While talking, I heard a message from the eunuch, saying that the queen mother wants Princess Daiyu to go back to her for dinner!

"Tell the queen mother that Daiyu will stay with me for dinner today!" The father-in-law knelt and went.The Queen said to Yanzi again: "Why don't you go to the Queen Mother to have dinner?"

"I don't, where my sister eats, I will be there!" Swallow muttered.
