The Red Chamber Collection

At night, Daiyu Zijuan narrates late into the night.Daiyu was exhausted all the way, and she was weak and weak, not comparable to Zijuan. She was talking in her mouth, but she couldn't open her eyes, and fell asleep hazily.Zijuan got up gently, straightened Daiyu's pillow, and tucked her quilt.Only then did I turn off the lights and go to sleep.

The next day was bright, Zijuan quietly got out of bed, washed up, and made Daiyu's favorite rice porridge.

Daiyu likes to boil porridge until the rice grains become mushy, and put some sugar in it.Thin and clear, drinking in her mouth is the time when Daiyu enjoys it the most.In Jia's mansion, Daiyu was ill, and the old lady once ordered the kitchen to do this.From then on, Daiyu fell in love with this.Once when Zicuckoo was asked to go to the kitchen, the mother-in-law who was cooking said one more thing: I have guests today, and time is tight, so let's eat next time, girl.

Zijuan is not as temperamental as Si Qi. She is afraid that Daiyu will be sad if there is a disturbance, so she walks back unhappy.But Ping'er saw it and asked why it happened.Ping'er took it seriously and went back to tell Sister Feng.Sister Feng went to the kitchen to teach herself: "I think you are tired of working! Who is my sister? You should also show me your eyes! That is the heart of the old lady! Because she has no parents, the old lady loves her like What does it look like. I usually let her, how dare you be arrogant?! Let alone these few guests, it is not too short of time for the mother to visit her relatives. I don’t need my sister to say anything, let me tell you now, as long as she Wipe away the tears, the old lady knew it was because of this, you just wait to get hit, and you should get out after the beating! Do you want to work here again?!" Wang Xifeng snorted without waiting for them to reply. He walked away without looking back.The old women in the kitchen were so frightened that they knelt down and complained to each other.I hurriedly cooked the porridge, brought it to Xiaoxiang Hall, called someone outside the door to bring it in, and begged Zijuan: "This is a new guy in this kitchen, and he doesn't know the rules. He was scolded by Mrs. Liu just now. Come to apologize to the girl, Liu sister-in-law spat: Now that garden is a place where you can go? Do you understand the rules? Learn a little bit, and then go in to make up for it! What the girl needs in the future, just tell me, and someone will bring it to you Yes!" Zijuan joked, "We don't have the money to give a reward!" The visitor said: "How dare you ask for a reward? If you don't slap your mouth, it will be Amitabha!" Seeing that the matter was not as serious as expected, he hurriedly said with a smile go back.Since then, Daiyu's breakfast has been this millet paste.When Baoyu saw it, he wanted to eat it too!Every morning in the kitchen, rice is stewed early, porridge is cooked slowly, and these two pieces of jade, which no one dares to offend, are served.

Daiyu woke up from the fragrance of rice, she was in a daze and didn't know where she was.This night, I slept so deeply that I didn't even have a dream.She rubbed her eyes, and, like a child woken up by her mother in her sleep, she let out an anxious hey and yawned.Zicuckoo heard the sound and hurried in.

"Miss, you're awake!" Zijuan came to help Daiyu up, and Daiyu knew where she was when she heard Zijuan's voice.

"Why did you get up so early?" Daiyu was in a daze, but when she heard a chirp outside, Daiyu asked suspiciously, "Who is outside?"

"It's peach blossoms, you saw them yesterday." Zijuan helped Daiyu get clothes to put on, and said with a smile, "Miss, we are in the country, not in the mansion. The windows in the mansion are bright and clean. The house in our country is made of adobe. The room has no windows, and it’s still dark in broad daylight. It’s almost noon now, and it’s so early, isn’t it ridiculous?!”

Daiyu let Zijuan put on her clothes, stretched herself, and yawned again.Zijuan opened the curtain, Daiyu went out of the room, washed her face and rinsed her mouth behind the hall door, but never opened her eyes properly.Zijuan arranged her clothes around Daiyu, let her sit on a plinth covered with cloth, and combed her hair.Daiyu opened her eyes completely. When she walked into the courtyard, she felt that the sun was dazzling, and it was almost noon.At this time, my stomach is protesting.Zijuan said: "Miss, come and have some porridge first, let's have lunch later."

"Just drink porridge, I won't eat lunch, you can eat it!" Daiyu said.

Taohua stood aside and watched Daiyu's every move.She was bolder than yesterday.Seeing her appearance, Zijuan was amused and didn't speak clearly.Zijuan filled a small bowl of gruel, but Daiyu brought it over, but it was a thick bowl.I saw this at my grandmother's house.Zijuan said: "use it first, and go to the city to buy it when you have time!"

Daiyu took a sip, it was not bad, but it was not as fragrant as Jia's rice.

"Zijuan, bring my package!" Yesterday, she was only talking and forgot to give the silver to Zijuan.Zijuan gave her the package, and Daiyu unwrapped it, "This is 50 taels of silver, you can use it first. And here is the 500 taels of silver, which was rewarded by the queen mother when I left the palace. You go first." Keep it!"

Daiyu's understatement is nothing to Zijuan, she heard about it yesterday.Taohua opened her mouth wide and covered it with her hands. It was undoubtedly a thunderclap in the clear sky that frightened her.palace?Empress Dowager?God, at this time Taohua thought of what a frog in a well is!Oh my god, Zijuan serves her, and he himself serves Zijuan, so it is worthwhile to lift the shoes for Zijuan!How dare you expect to serve this young lady!Her heart was pounding, she wanted to tell her father and mother this shocking secret quietly, my God, the neighbors in the family have been to the palace, who would believe it?Will parents believe it?

"Peach Blossom!" Daiyu called Tao Hua, "Peach Blossom, come here."

Taohua covered her mouth, still in a daze. "Peach Blossom, why are you standing there stupidly, the lady called you!" Zijuan said.

"Hey, hey!" Tao Hua responded, this lady who has been to the palace is calling me? !Taohua felt that just this call was an honor, so she came over in a hurry, Daiyu said.

"You and Zijuan are so close, thank you for taking care of sister Zijuan for so many days. I heard that you are getting married, and I have nothing to give you. This is the clothes my sister gave me when I was in the palace. This time I have never worn this dress once, so I will give it to you! Consider it my congratulatory gift!"

Zijuan added: "Miss said elder sister, but today's princess, take it back quickly to make uncle and aunt happy!"

Taohua held the dress, tears streaming down from excitement.She didn't know how to be grateful, so she knelt down in front of Daiyu, and wanted to say something to thank her, but she couldn't.Ula was so anxious that she cried!Zijuan hurriedly pulled her up, "Look at your future, why are you crying? Isn't it because of your good heart? If those unruly people, I wouldn't treat you well, and the lady wouldn't give you clothes. Silly girl, Take it back quickly, don't cry! Ah!"

Taohua wiped her tears as she returned home. Seeing Taohua come back crying, her mother thought it was Daiyu who had said something serious, so she said, "She is a daughter of a thousand gold, you can't bear to say a few words about you? Think about you Sister Zijuan... Hey, what is this, alas, where did this dress come from?"

Wang Fu'an heard the mother and daughter talking in the yard and came out.Seeing the satin dress in his wife's hand, he was surprised and said, "Where did this come from?"

"That young lady gave it to me, woohoo!" Taohua cried.

"Huh? That's weird. It's a good thing to give you clothes. People look up to you, so why are you crying?" Taohua's mother looked at the dress carefully, with a look of surprise on her face, "My child, her father , this dress is not made of ordinary material, I don't understand it either, take a look!"

Wang Fu'an took it over and looked at the light and silky dress. He looked at his wife in surprise and said, "Such a good dress can only be made by a tailor in the city!"

At this time, Taohua's words frightened both of them, "I thought I was ignorant, even you are ignorant too! This is the dress that the princess gave to the young lady today. When the young lady heard that I was going to get married, she gave it to her." Where's my gift! A tailor in the city can make such a good dress?!"

"Ah?!" The shock of the couple was no small matter, their mouths were opened, but they didn't know how to close them.After being stunned for a long time, Wang Fuan came to his senses.Now that the clothes are in his hands, they are like a ball of fire. His hands are shaking, "My girl, hurry up, find a piece of clean cloth and put it on it." Stunned, Wang Fuan stomped his feet and said, "Aren't you going soon?"

Taohua's mother came to her senses and hurriedly took out the leftover cloth for Taohua's wedding dress from the box, and spread it on the big table in the main room.Wang Fu'an put the satin skirt on the cloth with trembling hands, and complained: "You child, didn't you say it earlier? You haven't washed your hands, you child, hey!" Taohua's mother also complained.

At this time, Taohua had stopped crying, she still had tears, and said excitedly with a smile: "I don't know what kind of blessing I cultivated in my previous life, to get such a precious object!"

The couple looked at each other, excited and smiling, but there were tears in their eyes, Wang Fuan didn't know what to do? !He thought for a while, and suddenly thought, this is something the princess gave to the lady, how do they make it?If the higher-ups blamed it, wouldn't extreme joy beget sorrow?He told his wife Taohua about his worries, and they had no idea.Tao Hua said: "It's Miss's heart, I have used it for a lifetime! Wherever you say it, it's a matter of face! Now let's send it back, daddy?"

Only then did Wang Fu'an let Taohua hold the cloth-wrapped skirt, and the three of them came to Zicuckoo's house together without answering. When they saw Daiyu, they knelt down and kowtowed, which surprised Daiyu and Zicuckoo.Zijuan said: "Master, what are you doing?!"

Wang Fu'an said: "We don't know how to thank Miss. How can we afford such an expensive gift? It's enough for Miss to have this kind of heart. I accept it on behalf of the whole family. I just ask Miss to take back such an expensive gift." Use it yourself, how can people like us afford it?"

When Daiyu heard this, she understood what was going on.She looked at Zijuan, and Zijuan said knowingly: "Grandpa and aunt, what should I do? You don't have to be afraid. Thinking that my lady is in the palace, I dare not tell what I have experienced, for fear of scaring you. Miss Sending peach blossoms is like a princess giving peach blossoms. I won’t tell you anything else. There are some things that you can’t know. This is also the rule. You go back. This dress, peach blossoms, is also the face of your mother’s side. things. Peach Blossom can talk when she gets there."

The three of them knelt on the ground, and were overjoyed to hear this.Wang Fu'an said: "This dress has to be sacrificed! Don't say that peach blossoms are married to gold and silver. Its dowry is not as valuable as this!" When Wang Fu'an said this, he straightened his clothes and pulled peach blossoms He and the old woman kowtowed: "The Wang Fu'an family thank you miss!"

"Get up quickly, how can I bear it if you are like this, it's just a piece of clothing!" Daiyu laughed.

"Uncle and aunt, get up! Peach Blossom's wedding is coming soon, and you have a lot of work to do, so I won't keep you. I will invite our young lady to have a wedding wine!"

After the family heard this, they went back happily, showing off to relatives and friends everywhere.
