Through the Ring of Red Mansions

It is said that Concubine Beijing just took Daiyu over, and everyone in Jia's mansion knew that Miss Lin's good deeds were imminent. Daiyu is now the princess, so she might be assigned to some noble son in Beijing, and others Those who have always known Baoyu's thoughts, such as Baochai, Sanchun and others, and the girls like Qingwen, all thought that Baoyu would lose his soul. I used to be willing to read a lot.Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were secretly happy because of this, thinking that the two of them only grew up together as children, so they seemed to have a deeper relationship than others. Now that the two will be separated for a few days, Baoyu no longer cares much. It's easy for Baoyu to stop thinking about it by Manan'er's water-grinding kung fu.How did they think that Baoyu and Daiyu are the two craziest children in the world. If they are together, they will be fine. If they are separated, there will be no good end.

Baochai has seen it most clearly with cold eyes in recent years, seeing Baoyu's real face without worry, so she can't help being surprised, thinking to herself that if he is really so ruthless, it would be shocking, and all the sorrows of the past are in vain.Also thinking that Baoyu's temperament is very easy to control, he has to find a way to slowly transfer Xiren back, so as to persuade the maids in Baoyu's room, and the position of mistress of Rongfu will be safe in the future.

A few days later, a female official, Mrs. Xuan Wang, came to the palace to have an audience. The Ministry of Rites also called Jia Zheng to the Deguang Gate to listen to the decree. The mother's entrustment, already determined in my heart, went to receive the order with great joy and came back. As expected, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, a Zhongxian University scholar, and Princess Lin, the daughter of Concubine Beijing, bestowed a marriage on the second son of Jia Gongzheng of the Rongguo Mansion. According to Jia Baoyu's kind decree, he ordered Tiansi, the supervisor, to set a good date and inform Jia's mansion to prepare for the wedding.He also bestowed a pair of Ruyi jade, one side of a beautifully embroidered screen with mandarin ducks, a pair of lotus roots, twelve pieces of auspicious Ruyi palace satin with a hundred pomegranates, and two special gold and silver bowls for the wedding of the princess.

After Jia Zheng received the decree of grace and resigned, he gave a marriage to the daughter of Zhang Xihua, the No. [-] scholar of the current department, and the daughter of Xu Huailan, a university scholar.

Mrs. Wang also got the Queen's Fengyu in the harem, and she knew that Daiyu was married to Baoyu. The marriage between Baochai and Baoyu that was mentioned earlier has disappeared. Well, hurriedly went to meet Yuan Chundao, "When did such a big change happen? There was no letter before? Poor your aunt and Bao girl thought it was a certainty, how can I say this?"

Yuan Chun didn't know that there must be a reason for the suddenness of the incident, so he said, "When I handed over the papers, the sage didn't say anything, even the queen also handed the papers and begged for two pairs, and now it seems that none of them are accurate. It's not that the Holy One doesn't like Baochai and Baoyu alone, but he has already made up his mind."

Mrs. Wang said, "That's why it's so strange. How can the Holy Majesty remember the two of them? Baoyu stays at home all day and doesn't show her head. Get up once."

Yuan Chun said, "How do you know it doesn't mean that? Or maybe the old lady said something to the concubine. But I know that there is also King Beijing in the marriage gift this time, and he gave it to a small official's family." I gave him my daughter, who is the serious princess of the side county."

Mrs. Wang sighed, "I just feel sorry for Bao girl. Since she entered the re-election, she might not succeed here, and she can take this opportunity to get a good family. How can I explain to your aunt when I go back? Isn't it for Did Baoyu delay her!"

Yuan Chun laughed and said, "How do you know she didn't have a good place to go? Let me tell you, she just flew up the branch this time. The emperor chose her and another lady from the magistrate's family, and gave them to Prince Renjing as attendants." Concubine, you need to know that Prince Renjing is not much older than her, and he has not established a side concubine so far. Now this concubine looks a little sick, and has never been able to come out. Bao girl has raised a brother for a year and a half , that is the eldest son of Prince Renjing, it is not easy for her to be a side concubine? Wouldn't it be better than following Baoyu?"

Mrs. Wang nodded slowly and said, "That's what you said, but I was annoyed when I saw Miss Lin's appearance, and her demeanor was similar to that of her mother back then, so she didn't need to trouble me, after all, it didn't suit my heart like Miss Bao !"

Yuan Chun shook his head with a smile and said, "It's better to think about it separately. From what I've heard from you, Baochai is actually a big-hearted person. If Baoyu really wants to marry her, you may not feel at ease. Miss Lin followed suit. Baoyu is very temperamental, you just keep her for nothing, but you will never fight against you. Besides, speaking of Xue and Lin's family assets, although Xue's family is very good, there is an old lady who returned to Miss Lin. With those things of hers, plus her princess’s salary, now that she is married, how can Concubine Beijing not have a dowry? Besides, there are Zhuangzi, other courtyards, etc. that are accompanied by the royal family to the princess, and they are no worse than Xue’s family. How much, and it also caught the line of King Jingjing, no matter how hard the youngest turned, how could he compare with the serious relatives of the emperor?!"

Then Mrs. Wang smiled, "Exactly, I didn't think about it for a while, and it was because of your aunt's face, so I couldn't refuse directly. In fact, Baochai is two years older than Baoyu. Is there something wrong with her?" It's not suitable, it's not that Baoyu can't find a wife."

Yuan Chun told Mrs. Wang again before letting her go back, and said, "next time when you send someone to deliver something, just like the purple jade painting plate you took last time, find a few and bring them in, and I'll give them away. If you want to use it, there is also a big box for those crystal beads and piles of gauze hairpins, since there are newcomers in the palace this time, it will cost you more."

Mrs. Wang quickly said, "If you want flowers, you have to spend them. I just got a few big boxes from Zhen's family. The old lady and the others don't know, and they will be enough for a while."

Aunt Xue and Baochai were waiting in the mansion for the news of their marriage, but as soon as Jia Zheng came home, he first told Jia Mu that the marriage was for Baoyu and Daiyu. Baochai was still very calm, so she quickly supported her and congratulated Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and Baoyu.

The next day, the decree to grant Baochai as Prince Renjing's concubine came. Because the marriages between Baodai and Zhang Xu were both formal marriages, so they were concubines with Prince Renjing. came separately.Because Baoyu got the promise of marrying Daiyu, his feeling of parting from Baochai was weakened for a while, but he asked Sanchun and Xiangyun to congratulate her once.

Mrs. Wang had to explain to Aunt Xue again, and told her and Baochai what Yuan Chun had said, "Zhongshun and Renjing are the princes whom the old sage favors very much. It is said that the old sage wanted the emperor to give him a gift a few days ago. They are spared the gold medal, so isn’t that the clan that lasts forever? Prince Renjing has no son so far, and Bao girl looks like a lucky one. She went and got a son and a half daughter, who is the side concubine who will be on the imperial jade certificate , we have to call Empress even if we are in a hurry."

"... If Baochai followed Baoyu, I was afraid that Baoyu would humiliate the child."

Aunt Xue saw the imperial decree, and there was no way this matter would turn around, so she had to. Baochai was always very proud, and she was not afraid of entering the Hou family. It's a good opportunity to go to Qingyun, so An Xin wants to show it well in Renjing Prince's Mansion, and teach these sisters to see her skills.

Because of this, Xue Pan was really pleased, and the villain who was always in a position to follow others was so busy that he was flattered by the prince and brother-in-law, which made him even more ignorant of his superiority.

And because taking a concubine is no better than marrying a wife, Baochai has no big wedding regulations to do, so he congratulated each other with Jia's mansion, and when the auspicious date was set by Renjing Wang's mansion, Aunt Xue bought Baochai a dowry full of 36 loads. The palace sent a small palanquin with green tents to pick up the master, and carried him into the side door of Prince Renjing's palace.Aunt Xue was not married to Baochai, and she could only sew a green waist skirt for her wedding dress. Therefore, she secretly shed tears for half a day when she saw the sedan chair go.

The matter of Bao Dai and her was much more troublesome than that, Jian Tiansi had a good time in April of the following year, so Dai Yu still had to live in the Beijing Palace for the next year before she could marry back to the Jia Mansion, even during the Chinese New Year. Baoyu couldn't help being depressed when he went to Rongfu.

For Baoyu's marriage, Jia's mansion specially held a banquet for several days. This couple was married by the Holy Spirit. There were many people who came to congratulate them. Even the Beijing Palace held a two-day feast.Jia Huan had to stay with Jia Zheng and Baoyu in the Rong Mansion, when Mo Yan suddenly came and said, "Fourth Master Long is outside!"

After hearing this, Jia Huan pointed out something to Jia Zheng and went out. He saw Shui Lang riding a horse and wearing a black gold thread cloak, but he was wearing a ocher red five-clawed dragon gown. He couldn't help being surprised and said, "You Where are you going with this outfit?"

Shui Lang smiled slightly, "Shui Yu invited me to have a glass of wine as a newcomer. You can come with me."

Jia Huan paused, and immediately thought that Shui Yu was Prince Renjing. Although he didn't understand why Shui Lang came to call him, Shui Yu and his elder brother Shui Lin had always been at odds with Shui Lang. Seeing that Shui Lang was very lonely in the past, he said, "Wait, I'll change clothes and come."

When the two of them entered Shuiyu's Renjing Palace, Jia Huan knew that he had made a big mistake. There were more than half of the loyal clans in Shuilang here, and two of the four county kings were there. Nan'an was present, and Shui Lu, the eldest son of the Prince of Dongping County, also came to congratulate him, but he was of a low birth rate and had not yet become a nobleman, so he couldn't sit at the main table, so he was asked to go to the second seat, with Prince Gongli's eldest son.

At Shui Lang's table were loyal, obedient, benevolent and respectful, the King of Nan'an was older than Shui Rong, so he took the first seat, and Jia Huan took the remaining seat.Everyone saw Shui Lang coming with Jia Huan, but Bai Shichen was not with them, so they came to toast Jia Huan. I seldom go to the imperial study, but I went there a few times, and Jia Huan never met, so it was the first time to sit with these two.
