[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu

This is how things go!

On August [-]th, the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, August [-]th, when Daiyu sat chatting with the empress and drawing purse patterns, she said: "Sister-in-law, I want to visit my uncle's house and see my grandmother, is that okay. "

The queen frowned slightly: "Why do you think of them? Did anyone say something in front of you?" Yesterday, the family banquet in Fengsheng Palace, hum.

"Ah? No, it's just that I remembered that my mother mentioned that her home is in the capital, so I want to go and have a look."

The queen sighed softly: "Are you homesick? You are the eldest princess now, and going to the Rongguo mansion is condescending. How about calling Mrs. Rongguo into the palace to see you?"

Daiyu thought for a while before she realized that Mrs. Rong Guo was her grandmother. After thinking for a while, she found an excuse: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid that someone will say that I'm proud of being favored and disrespecting my elders. My brother is working for Yushi now." They are troubled, I can't make any more trouble for him."

The queen thought about it for a while. After all, she is not the eldest princess by blood. The gang of censors who love to slander did not show mercy when they 'remonstrated' the emperor, and they were even less polite to her.Besides, it doesn't matter if we meet each other. Daiyu is a smart person, and she won't be won over easily by them. At worst, when the emperor wants to clean up the Rongguo Mansion, I'll give her a call and tell her not to intercede with the Rongguo Mansion.

Thinking of this, she nodded: "Okay, but don't worry, the royal carriage and ceremonial guards for the eldest princess to go out have not yet been finalized, I ordered Rongguo Mansion to wait for the princess to visit her relatives, well, the Ministry of Rituals still has to draw up the etiquette."

Daiyu was slightly startled: "This troublesome? Me, oh."

She remembered what her mother had said, she couldn't go quietly, no one would recognize her if she went quietly.Moreover, Mr. Zhuo's plan also said that he would go to Rongguo Mansion with great fanfare and grandeur, so that Jing Huan could come and see.

The queen lazily closed her eyes and rested her mind, while Daiyu continued to work hard with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, carefully sketching the embroidery patterns.

"Who is this for?"

"..."

Seeing that she was a bit shy, the queen immediately understood, and covered her mouth with a smile: "For your elder brother Sanlang?"

Daiyu's face turned even redder: "How do you know?"

I can't tell who it's for.

The queen stroked her hair: "Apart from the few of us and your master, who else is worthy of letting you make your own purse? I asked you, but you refused to answer and blushed, haha, of course it is for you!" That's what your good brother will do."

Daiyu couldn't hold back her embarrassment: "It's just a gift from Karma Xuanhuan, nothing more."

The queen smiled ambiguously: "Oh~!" This can be regarded as an exchange of tokens of love.

Daiyu was so ashamed that she couldn't stay any longer, she jumped off the ground and waved her handkerchief to leave: "I'll go see if Master's new snack is ready."

The queen laughed: "There's nothing to be shy about, look at your blushing, I'm not kidding you."

Daiyu pretended not to hear and ran away.

The purse that I promised to make for brother Saburo before has not been finished yet.

I got a lot of materials in various colors and textures, but I just started to paint patterns.

The queen laughed for a while, and told the female historian next to her: "Draft the decree."

The female history said: "Yes." She was carrying a pen, ink, paper and inkstone at all times, ready to record the Queen's orders.

The queen closed her eyes and thought for a while, then waved her hand: "No need."

She had an idea in her mind and ordered: "Prepare the chariot."

It is a good thing that Daiyu wants to visit her relatives, it can just restrain those concubines who immediately become arrogant and rude after being favored.

She has always liked to read scriptures and history, she is gentle, virtuous, thoughtful, lovely, and she is not a stupid woman who does not understand strategy and blindly seeks kindness.At that moment, he made up his mind to tease the emperor a little, so that even if he went to the concubine's palace during his pregnancy, he would not like them.

Daiyu knew that Master had a clean room in the long room next to the Imperial Dining Room, which was specially used for her to develop new snacks or to rest.I went in and saw that there were two six-inch cakes on the table, and a guard next to it was whipping the liquid in a basin hard, and the master was watching by nibbling melon seeds.

The guard quickly stopped: "The villain pays homage to Princess Xuanzhen."

Fourth Sister Wen said anxiously: "Hey, don't stop, you can't stop when you are whipping cream."

Daiyu said: "Forget it, keep going, don't make my master anxious."

She approached Fourth Sister Wen: "Master, is your new orange jelly ready?"

Fourth Sister Wen lifted the plate with the bowl next to it, and there were several sliced ​​oranges inside, but upon closer inspection, although the color of the orange flesh was correct, it didn't look like an orange, but more like jelly.Because she suddenly remembered the recipe she saw before crossing: cut the orange in half, squeeze the juice, add gelatin slices to boil, then pour it back into the orange peel bowl, refrigerate until it freezes, cut and shape, it is super cute Orange Jelly.

Gelatin, also known as gelatin or isinglass, is a gelatin extracted from beef bone or fish bone, and its main component is protein.

Fourth Sister Wen, as a qualified cook, of course successfully refined the isinglass, and even made fudge. Although it was very laborious, it tasted like home.I just don’t know why, but this batch of isinglass slices refined in the capital has a strong fishy smell. It may be that the number of times of filtration was not enough during refining, or the meat on the fish bones was not cleaned too cleanly. Anyway, orange jelly is made. After eating three petals, you can taste a faint fishy smell. Although it seems to be absent, it is not refined enough.

"Not quite satisfied yet."

The guard went out with the basin in his arms. He is a man and should be avoided.

Daiyu was enthusiastic: "I'll try it."

I picked up a piece and took a bite: "Is this fudge?" It's softer than fudge and not as sweet.

She has always disliked fudge, thinking it is too sweet and coated with sugar, this tastes good.

She ate two petals, stopped suddenly, and frowned slightly: "It smells a bit fishy. Bring some salt."

"What do you want salt for?" Fourth Sister Wen was a little frightened. Although she tried dipping lychees in soy sauce and found it delicious, but... eat oranges and sprinkle salt?Isn't it salted when you eat watermelon?

"The sword is like water, Wu Yan beats the snow, and the slender fingers break the new orange. The brocade is warm at the beginning, and the scent of the beast is constant, and they sit and tune the sheng." Daiyu said with a smile: "People in the Song Dynasty knew that oranges should be sprinkled with salt. Try it. Well, maybe it can cover up the fishy smell."

Fourth Sister Wen thought for a while: "What you said is very reasonable. As expected of my apprentice, he knows so much even if he can't cook. Well, Daiyu, is Wu Yan the salt there?"

Daiyu decisively popularized science: "The powdered salt produced by the sun in the Jianghuai area is called Wuyan. This salt is white and light in taste. The ancients ate fruits such as red bayberry and oranges. They were mixed with Wuyan to remove fruit acid. Tang and Song Dynasties Everywhere you see it in poetry."

Fourth Sister Wen stood up: "There are many kinds of salt in the imperial dining room, I'll look for it. Don't eat the cake, and I'll try a fresh one when the cream is ready~" After so many years, I finally put the whipped cream It's getting rough!

In less than 3 minutes, she came back with a tray.

There were three small plates and a bowl of uncut orange jelly on the tray, and they introduced them one by one: "This is the salt from the Jianghuai area, but I tasted it, and it is not bland. This is Nuodeng well salt, not very white, but the taste is bland. "

Daiyu only looked at the third small plate: "Master, what are you doing with the chili noodles?"

Fourth Sister Wen blinked: "You must dare to try in life~"

I haven't tried orange pepper noodles yet~

The master and apprentice prepared six-petal orange jelly, and planned to sprinkle Wu salt, well salt, well salt and chili powder on them respectively.

Fourth Sister Wen thought for a while, took some candy, and prepared a pen and paper next to her, and began to do the assessment.

"Salty! Bah!"

"Too salty! Bah!"

"Try some sugar."

"No, Xian. Where's the tea?"

"Rinse your mouth!"

"This is fine."

"Well, it looks even sweeter!"

"Sprinkling chili powder is heresy, what the hell am I thinking?"

"Hee hee, I don't want chili noodles, try dipping it in some sugar...it's not delicious either."

The whipping guard pushed open the door: "Master Wen, it won't fall if you stick the chopsticks in."

Fourth Sister Wen jumped up: "That's great. Give it to me!"

The guard brought the basin over, then lowered his head and looked at the ground: "Master Wen, do you have any orders?"

Fourth Sister Wen said: "You wait."

The two cakes on the table were cut into slices. The Fourth Sister Wen took a spoon and a knife to smooth the cream, and popped out a thick cream cake. There was a homemade oil paper bag and a blacksmith. Piping tips, she has everything but artificial coloring and chocolate.

In a way that these people don't know what a standard cream cake is anyway, she squeezed a circle of cream and decorated it, which was also pure white, and put it in a food box like this, and ordered the little eunuch to send it to Fengsheng Palace and Yongfu Palace specifically instructed that it must be presented in person. If the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager were not in Fengsheng Palace and the Empress Dowager was not in Yongfu Palace, the cake would be placed outside the house.While the snow has not melted and the weather is very cold, it can be stored in ice.

Daiyu was unhappy: "Master, where's mine?"

The two cakes were six inches. Fourth Sister Wen took out a large eight-inch cake from the cabinet, continued to paint and smear, cut it into eight pieces, took a plate, put one piece, and handed it to the guard. For being amiable: "You have worked hard today, let me give you a taste."

The guard was at a loss: "I don't dare to be this, this is what I should do."

You, if there is leftovers from the eldest princess, you can just give it back to me, how could you give it to me in the first place.

"Hey, here you go, take it and eat it. I know how hard it is to whip egg whites and whipped cream."

Daiyu said lightly: "It's a reward for you, take it, and you must work hard for my master in the future."

"Yes, I would like to follow the princess's instruction." The guard didn't dare to raise his head, he walked back to the door with the tray, and walked out in a flash.

Daiyu took a big piece with a spoon, didn't eat it yet, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully: "Master, you give it to him first, he shouldn't want it."

"Huh?" Fourth Sister Wen didn't understand: "What's the matter?"

Daiyu sneered: "I'm sitting here. I should taste it first. Whether it's good or not, I should give it to him after eating the leftovers. But Master, you took a piece for him first as soon as you finished it. I know you I just want to send him out so that we can talk about ourselves, but if someone else sees it, it will be treated as your favoritism and not taking me seriously." Anyway, the baby is not happy!

After saying these words, she took a bite and her eyes lit up!tasty!Better than plain cake!

Fourth Sister Wen thought for a while, then patted her thigh: "Oh, I'm going! I did something wrong, dear Daiyu, don't be angry with me."

"Woooo?" Daiyu licked her lips, feeling better after eating the delicious food, and said with a smile, "I'm not angry. It's just that I'm going to Rongguo Mansion to visit relatives in a few days. Master, you have to stay with me. Don't be like this when the time comes." gone."

"Don't worry, I felt that he was working hard today, and I wanted to tell him to leave first. I didn't give him anything in case he didn't work hard next time, and I didn't bring any money with me. When I arrived at Rongguo Mansion, I just gave him a piece of money. You are the Goddess of Mercy who came here from the mortal world, and everything is respected by you."

Daiyu was happy now, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be that, but I expect you to scare people with a straight face."

The fourth sister Wen was eating the cream cake, and began to think about the success rate of asking Zhuo Ge or Yao Sanlang to go to Africa to find cocoa trees. Also, bake cocoa beans to make cocoa powder and cocoa butter, and then make chocolate. Then how high is the success rate of making a black forest cake?Well, judging from the several chocolate documentaries I watched many years ago, the failure rate should be very, very high. I heard that those who can make chocolate by hand are masters with more than ten years of experience.

Heck, if only Fengyue Baojian was there, I could still relive the chocolate documentary in my head.

…………

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor was reviewing the memorial with dry eyes, with a look of lovelessness on his face: "Please Ann Zhezi, please An Zhezi, please An Zhezi, please An Zhezi, commend the merits of Shangguan, please An Zhezi, please An Zhezi, Qiu Tax Zhezi, Fashui Zhezi , Locust Plague Exhibit. Alas!"

Seeing a little eunuch waving at the door, Duobao walked over to listen gently, and came back and said, "My lord, the empress's luanjia is here."

Immediately the emperor's eyes lit up, and he just sat up and got up all numb and moved around. He stood up and walked slowly to the door. He saw two pairs of young eunuchs walking in front clapping their hands and whistling softly. Behind them was Luanjia.

Seeing the emperor coming out, the little eunuchs felt a lot of pressure, so they didn't stumble: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

The maid was a little nervous when she opened the curtain, and she didn't know whether she should salute the emperor first or greet the empress first.

Seeing that the phoenix chariot hadn't come to a complete stop, the queen bowed to the emperor in front of her, she couldn't help but smiled lightly, thinking that the emperor usually treated her very well, so it turned out that it would be even better if she was pregnant.

She stretched out a hand, the emperor pushed the maid's hand away, and helped her himself: "Zitong, be careful."

The queen smiled and said: "The emperor came out to welcome me personally, I am very grateful."

The emperor smiled and said, "I want to hold you in with my own hands, but I suffer from lack of strength." The two entered the room hand in hand, and sat together affectionately.The emperor complained: "Oh, I feel bored when I only invite An Zhezi. There are a lot of things today, and I start to miss the time when I only invite An Zhezi."

The queen laughed and chatted with him a few words: "There is one thing that will be revealed to the Holy Majesty."

"Your dear, but it doesn't matter."

She told about Daiyu's desire to go to Rongguo Mansion to visit her relatives: "It would be too conspicuous if only she was allowed to go back. Now there are some concubines in the palace, and they will also miss their relatives. In my opinion, it is not as good as the emperor's permission." All the concubines go home to visit their relatives to comfort the pain of missing them."

The emperor nodded and looked at Zhongshu Sheren next to him: "Draft the decree."

"Yes." Zhongshu Sheren waited with a pen in hand.

The emperor thought about it, and he didn't feel anything about it, so he said to Zhongshushe: "You draw up the decree according to what the empress said."

"Yes." Zhongshusheren is actually a high-level ghostwriter. He often writes a long article in the emperor's tone. The emperor doesn't have the leisure time to write a long essay. He usually gives him a sentence and asks him to expand the content.

The queen was very happy in her heart, and secretly praised herself for what a clever plan!Hee hee, kill two birds with one stone!

The emperor took out a box from behind: "Zi Tong, look at this story, I still have some memorials, I will go back with you after approval."

Not long after, the little eunuch came again from Yongfu Palace and brought the cake to the emperor's case.The emperor and the queen shared some food and found it novel and unique. They asked the little eunuch and found out that the Supreme Emperor had it, but Yao Zhenren didn't have it.It's not that Daiyu has been forgotten, it's just that they know that if they are short of food, they can't do without her.

…………

August seventeenth.

Early on, I saw Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of Liugongdu, arriving on horseback, followed by many internal eunuchs.That Xia Shouzhong did not bear the imperial edict, dismounted in front of the eaves, smiled all over his face, walked to the hall, stood facing the south, and said in his mouth: "Special decree: Immediately declare Jiazheng to enter the court, and see you in the Linjing Hall." After finishing speaking. , I didn't have time to drink tea, so I went by horse.Jia Amnesty and others don't know what the sign is.Had to change clothes in a hurry and enter the court.

After Jia Amnesty came back, his face was full of joy: "So it's because of my niece!"

Mother Jia hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?" The Empress Dowager didn't allow me to see her before, so what kind of happy event can I have now?

Jia She said: "Nowadays, the word 'filial piety' is the greatest thing in the world today that is considerate of the hearts of thousands of people. The nature of parents and children are all the same, not the difference between high and low... (more than [-] words omitted)...It is so big. For the sake of convenience, I would like to send a special message to all the noble relatives of Jiaofang. In addition to the favor of entering the palace on the [-]th, if there is a house in the other courtyard of Chongyu, you can stay in the pass and guard it. You can ignore the family relationship, the most important thing in the family relationship. Uncle Lin's daughter, my niece is now Princess Xuanzhen, and she is also among the relatives."

Mother Jia was overjoyed: "Very good! I haven't seen your eldest sister for many years. If I can see my granddaughter, it will be the same as seeing my daughter."

Jia Baoyu was very happy, a little overjoyed: "I heard that sister Bao from Aunt Xue's family is coming, and now a sister Lin is coming to our house. There are more sisters and sisters at home, which is great."

Jia Zheng pulled his face and wanted to beat him.

Jia's mother hurriedly protected Baoyu: "Zheng'er, don't make trouble, Baoyu is a child, don't beat him at every turn, and scare him like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees you! If you have anything to say, you can't teach him well, except To fight is to fight, your old man taught you so?"

Jia Zheng was so annoyed, he thought that when he was young, he was not such an idiot as Baoyu, so he just scolded him with a straight face: "When you are in front of the eldest princess, you are not allowed to call me sister or sister, that is a big breach of etiquette!

Now the only ones who can call her a younger sister are today and the queen, what are you!

If you dare to talk nonsense again and offend the eldest princess and spread it to today's ears, I will just beat you to death outside the Meridian Gate! "

Jia's mother scolded her son again: "what are you! The son is not the father's fault. What's wrong with Baoyu is all your fault!"

Jia Amnesty just watched lazily from the side, and had nothing to say.

Jia Zheng was so annoyed by this, he had no choice but to say: "What mother said is true."

Words are long, no words are short.

On August [-], Mrs. Xue brought Baochai and Xue Pan to Jia's mansion.Mrs. Wang hurriedly took her daughter-in-law and others, took them out of the hall, and took Aunt Xue and others in.When the sisters met in their old age, needless to say, they had mixed feelings of sorrow and joy, weeping and laughing.

Busy, he invited Jia Mu to meet again, and offered all kinds of human favors and land objects.I met with the furniture guy, and I was busy and took care of the table to meet the wind.

Baoyu has been forced by his father to read the Book of Rites these days with a ruler, so he must remember how to play it right in front of the eldest princess, and not to embarrass his father.As soon as I saw Sister Bao, it was like rain after a long drought, and I couldn't help liking this gentle and amiable big sister.

Baochai was full of worries, so she just quietly found opportunities when there was no one else, and practiced martial arts diligently.

Mrs. Wang said to her sister in private: "You tell Baochai to prepare well. My niece will come back to visit her relatives in a few days. Since Baochai is waiting for election, now I can meet the eldest princess early to make a good impression. Everything will be easy." .”

Aunt Xue was very grateful and rejoiced, and she said to Baochai after she returned, "You see, thanks to our coming to Beijing early, if we wait until the election day is approaching, we will not miss a good opportunity.

The eldest princess goes to visit her uncle's relatives, how many times a year, Amitabha, let us catch up, isn't it God's blessing! "

Baochai said lightly: "Time is fate, luck is also." Let's see.

What she is now in trouble with is another matter. She is staying at home in Beijing, and she doesn't know if Master knows or not.I should go to see her in person, well, although I can climb over the wall and leave now, but... I am afraid that something will happen on the road, or I will get lost in the capital, and I will not find Master's residence.Someone should be sent to inform her, and I don't know if it is safe to send someone to deliver the letter.

As soon as the mother left on the front foot, the elder brother came on the back foot.

Xue Pan said excitedly: "Baochai, I thought about it for a day. Since I can't study Chinese well, I should go to practice martial arts. In the future, I will spend money to buy a military officer to do it. It is a good way to do activities every few years and gradually get promoted. "

Baochai looked distressed: "Brother, you must choose a good teacher."

I always feel that after my brother practiced martial arts, he went back to eat, drink, whore and gamble more seriously.

In the past, he could not be proficient in literature and martial arts, and he relied on his family property and slaves to make troubles. Once he has martial arts...

Xue Pan mistakenly thought that his younger sister was worried that he would meet a bad master and be deceived by others, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan in mind."

"Brother, what are your plans?"

"When I was drinking with Lao Feng in the past, he said that many old bodyguards resigned and left the bodyguard when they were 50 or [-] years old, and were invited by the children of rich and noble families to teach martial arts or train servants. I think they It makes sense."

Xue Pan was enthusiastic: "I think it's good. The bodyguards themselves must be very capable, no more than those vain gun instructors. The bodyguards who have no skills have been hacked to death long ago. They traveled all over the world, experienced a lot, and all kinds of tricks and abductions I know all the methods and can help me guard against others."

Baochai was surprised and said, "What brother said is very true."

Xue Pan was very proud: "I'm going to find a good teacher myself, you are ready to be elected, don't worry about me."

On August 25, the empress made a decree, and three days later, on August 28, Princess Xuanzhen visited her relatives.

She specially sent someone to the imperial dining room to invite Fourth Sister Wen to come over, and then learned... Fourth Sister Wen did not come today.

On August 26, Fourth Sister Wen went to the imperial dining room, and was immediately summoned by the queen, and got a set of female official clothes and a new job.

The queen said: "From now on, you are the official teacher and female official of the eldest princess. Daiyu will go to the Rongguo Mansion on the 28th. You go with her. If the people in the Rongguo Mansion are disrespectful, you have to reprimand them."

Fourth Sister Wen imitated her elder brother, showing a kind (creepy) smile: "Don't worry, Ma'am, whoever dares to disrespect Daiyu, I can scare him to death with my voice."

The queen was quite relieved at first, but after hearing this, she felt uneasy, and hurriedly asked the female officer to give her emergency training-this sounded terrible.

If someone is being rude, she should say 'Let's not!Don't be rude in front of the princess! ', you can't say 'Paralyzing the little bastard looking for a cut! '

If there is a female family member who does not let go of Daiyu, she should say, "Princess, please ascend to your seat", and cannot say, "Let go of your mother!" '

If a male relative rushes in, although Daiyu is still a child, she doesn't need to pay too much attention to the defense of men and women, but she must control the distance and not get close to her.It's enough to stop him dignifiedly and coldly, don't kick him directly.

If someone says that Daiyu is unable to make a decision or makes things difficult for Daiyu, she should say, "This matter should not be decided by the eldest princess, but should be reported to the sage and empress." Don't be so stupid, fuck off. '

Fourth Sister Wen was quite upset at first, thinking that I was not so rude, and I would pretend.

But he still finished the class seriously, intending to learn it first, regardless of whether it is useful or not, so as not to embarrass Daiyu.

Then, the female historian who was sent by the queen to give a lecture said: "According to etiquette, the eldest princess is much more noble than the family members of Rongguo Mansion, but in terms of blood relationship, she cannot receive their great gifts. Therefore, everyone in Rongguo Mansion must Kneel at the door to greet you. You don’t have to kneel again when you enter to salute, but you still need to salute the eldest princess. After all, the eldest princess is young and may not be able to control her emotions. If you want to salute your grandmother, you have to stop her. Master Wen, It’s fine if you don’t speak, and there will be female officer Zhaorong answering on your behalf.”

Fourth Sister Wen nodded: "Oh." She said to herself, can't control her emotions?

Hehe, you dainty little girls underestimated my apprentice too much. The day before yesterday she scrubbed the magic weapon aside and sharpened the sword in front of me for a long time. When she mentioned Rongguo Mansion, she only wanted to trap Jinghuan.Then I was coaxed by my elder brother, thinking that there was an adulterous priest in the Rongguo Mansion, and he planned to take Yao Sanlang to visit at night.

After class, she was caught by the queen to change clothes again, and tried on a set of silver-gray uniforms for female officers, um, she looked even darker.

I tried a set of dark blue and a set of dark green. After all, dark blue is better.

The queen said in her heart: the eldest princess can't have a stupid looking woman by her side!It's okay to be fat, but you have to be heroic, shrewd and capable.

On August 28th, five drums, from Jia Mu and other nobles, all wear heavy makeup according to their products.Everywhere in the mansion, tents dance with dragons, curtains fly colorful phoenixes, gold and silver shine brightly, jewels compete for splendor, cauldrons burn with the fragrance of lilies, vases are filled with evergreen pistils, no one coughs in silence.Jia Amnesty was waiting outside the gate of West Street, and Jia Mu was waiting outside the gate of Rongfu.

The streets and alleys are all surrounded by curtains.Impatiently waiting, suddenly a eunuch came in a horse, and Jia's mother hurriedly connected and asked for news.The eunuch said: "The eldest princess will go to Fengsheng Palace to say hello, and after a while, she will set off on the chariot."

Sister Feng served Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang for dinner first, and then went to wait at the door.After breakfast, Jia Amnesty led the Hezu's nephews outside the West Street Gate, and Jia's mother led the Hezu's female relatives to greet them outside the gate.It was quiet for half a day.

Suddenly, he saw a pair of red-clothed eunuchs coming slowly on horseback, got off their horses at the West Street Gate, drove the horses out of the enclosure, and stood there with their hands down.Half a day is another pair, and the same is true.When I was young, a dozen pairs came, and I could hear the faint sound of joy.

Pairs of dragon banners and phoenix flags, pheasant feathers and Kui heads, and gold burners burning royal incense, and then a golden umbrella with seven phoenixes on a crank came over, which was the crown robe and shoes.There are also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, rinsing bowls, dust whisks and so on.After the teams passed by, eight eunuchs came slowly behind them, carrying a gold-topped golden phoenix-embroidered phoenix.

Mother Jia and others knelt down by the roadside.Zao Fei ran past several eunuchs to help Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.The patriarch was carried into the gate, entered the Yimen Gate and went east, and in front of the gate of a courtyard, the eunuch Zhifu knelt down and asked him to change his clothes.So the eunuchs and eunuchs dispersed, and only Zhaorong and Cai concubine led the eldest princess down to the palace.

I saw that all kinds of lanterns in the courtyard were shining brightly, all tied with gauze and silk, very delicate.There is a plaque lamp on it, with the words "Tiren Mude" written on it.

Daiyu smiled slightly, and asked in her heart: "Brother Sanlang, is there any trace of Jing Huan?"

Yao Sanlang replied: "Not yet, but don't worry, Senior Brother Bilu has already planted a 'snapshot', including the entire Rongguo Mansion. If there is any abnormal fluctuation, we will know immediately."

After the connection was broken, Senior Brother Bi Lu sat cross-legged on a tree and ate melon seeds: "You really feel relieved that they will meet, your sister Lin really has a relationship with Baoyu, alas."

Yao Sanlang gritted his teeth and smiled: "I know, after Senior Brother Wumon figured out the marriage, I ordered Mr. Zhuo to discuss with Mr. Zhuo. He took my favor and really spoke for me." Mr. Zhuo said that the whole family of Rongguo Mansion, Those who are staring at are the princesses, Daiyu shudders when she hears this, she will never feel close to them.

Then I boarded the chariot again, went to Jia Mu's inner room, and then talked about the family rituals——Daiyu just bent over when Fourth Sister Wen and Zhao Rong came to stop her, and Jia Mu and others quickly knelt down.

Daiyu didn't feel very amiable when she saw her grandmother. Mr. Zhuo's words made her feel cold. She was always afraid of being used as a stepping stone, but she was still a little excited, her eyes were slightly red, and she called: "Grandma." Mother, thinking of how well she was being calculated by others, couldn't help but shed tears.

Jia Mu cried: "The eldest princess, don't be sad, take care of your body."

Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, the three sisters Ying, Tan and Xi were all around, weeping and saying nothing.

Daiyu cried for 10 minutes before stopping her tears, and then asked Jia Mu how she was doing, saying that she didn't recognize her when they met last time, and she was in a hurry to listen to the scriptures, which was a little rude.

Mother Jia didn't dare to let her admit that she was rude, so she quickly coaxed her to turn her sorrow into joy.

Sister Feng hurriedly held the tea fruit and served her left and right.

Mrs. Wang considered her son and younger sister, and said: "The eldest princess, the younger Baoyu, and the younger sisters Mrs. Xue and Xue Baochai are still waiting for the order. Because the relatives have no jobs, they dare not enter without permission. Please summon the princess."

Daiyu came here to meet Jia Baoyu, to see what kind of a three-headed and six-armed guy he is, who can make Yaoxian exhausted for his future, but after a little thought, she agreed.

Seeing Baoyu and Baochai coming side by side behind Aunt Xue, they are like two girls.

That Baoyu wore two-color gold hundred butterflies and red arrow sleeves with flowers, a palace sash tied with multicolored silk and knotted with flowers, a Japanese forged fringe gown with eight groups of azurite flowers on the outer cover, and small blue satin and powder-soled court boots.The face is like powder, and the lips are like fat; the face is like a smile, and the language is like a smile.A natural charm, all in the eyebrows; all kinds of emotions in my life, all piled up in the corners of the eyes.Judging from its appearance, it is the most excellent, but it is difficult to know its details.

When Daiyu saw it, she was taken aback, and she thought to herself, "It's so strange, it seems like I've seen it there before, how familiar it is! Surely there are evil spirits behind it!"

That Baochai wore a honey-colored jacket and a light yellow satin cotton skirt, both of which are half new and not old, and they look luxurious.Lips are red without spots, eyebrows are green without painting, face is like a silver basin, and eyes are like water apricots.Rare and reticent, people call them Tibetan fools; they are safe at any time, and keep their own clumsiness.

Seeing Baochai's appearance, Princess Xuanzhen didn't think much of it, but suddenly saw that Baochai's steps were sonorous and powerful, which was different from the weak and soft young man next to him, as if he had practiced martial arts.Daiyu observed carefully, only to find that this woman's behavior was a little different from others, she seemed to have a little knack for it, so she decided to give her a try.

The eldest princess sits high on the throne, and the female officials on both sides are dignified and generous, and there is a black and fat female official who is not angry and arrogant.

The three wanted to perform national rituals, but they were also ordered to escape.

When Baochai looked up, he felt frightened. The one standing beside the eldest princess was not Fourth Sister Wen or who?

Daiyu smiled slightly, and said to Baochai, "Miss Xue, come here."

Xue Baochai stepped forward: "What orders does the princess have?"

Unexpectedly, Xiang Baoyu also came over, and although his father ordered him to say a few words, he didn't dare to call the princess sister, but he still couldn't help being close, and stared at Daiyu intently.

Fourth Sister Wen wanted to say something to her, but then remembered that it was Daiyu's home game at this moment, so she should shut up obediently.

Daiyu took Baochai's hand, carefully looked at the thin calluses on her hand, it was not left by calligraphy practice, then secretly clasped her veins, and smiled: "How old are you this year?"

It's not that I'm bragging, Daiyu has practiced to the point of returning to basics, and she is still sitting still, Baochai really can't see that she can know martial arts.

Xue Baochai replied submissively: "If you go back to the princess, the little girl is only nine years old."

Daiyu nodded, and said softly: "Hezi." (You are also on the road)

Xue Baochai shook her hands in shock, and replied, "Co-words, Zan'er is bright." (Yes, you are really capable.)

Everyone: What? (⊙o⊙)!

Daiyu smiled in surprise: "Tai Sui has lost weight, it's all just half-opened eyes. Jiandou envoy is so bright."

(I'm young, so I don't know much about it. Girl, what kind of weapon do you use?)

Xue Baochai bowed, and replied: "Yinqing, Motoulahangzi. It's just an empty space when you are too old."

(I use a knife, and my master is an escort. I am a few years older, but I don't understand anything.)

Fourth Sister Wen rolled her eyes, these two guys just talked about lip odes in broad daylight... Forget it, these silly girls next to them can't understand.

However, if someone asks what you two said, what do you mean, how do you explain it?

You have only learned the lip dictionary for a few days, how can you use it so smoothly?

The Jia Mu Jing is widely seen, and it maintains a very good state of pretending to be calm.Actually stunned.

The Second Mrs. Xing Wang and Aunt Xue were really stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Baoyu yelled: "Sister Bao, what are you and the princess talking about? I can't understand a word."

Daiyu glanced at him lazily: "It's just Jiangnan dialect."

Baochai laughed apologetically and said, "What the eldest princess said is very true. This is an ancient saying that was recorded in an ancient book but has been lost now. The eldest princess is really well-read."

Help, my mother is sitting next to her, she is married to Jiangnan!She knew it wasn't Jiangnan dialect!

Fourth Sister Wen applauded her in her heart: You can really talk nonsense!She said: "The sound of the sharp bucket, if you grind your head, you know how to attack."

(Girl, you are really admirable, your master will definitely be annoyed if he finds out, hehehe~)

Baoyu became suspicious, why hadn't he heard of such a thing after reading all the miscellaneous books?After thinking about it, I didn't count myself as having read all the miscellaneous books.

Xue Baochai replied: "Jian'er's Guan will rise at the end. We will meet sooner or later."

(Master, don't talk about it, I will see them in two days.)

Daiyu remembered her name in her heart, and wondered which senior sister's apprentice she was, so she would know when she went back and asked her master, so she didn't say anything more.Ask Baoyu: "What book do you usually read?"

Baoyu blushed immediately, but he only recited "Xue", "Yong" and "Second Lun" with notes.Half of the most important edition of "Mencius" is written in between. If you mention a sentence out of thin air, you will definitely not be able to take it back. When it comes to "Xiameng", more than half of it is forgotten.

Said: "It's just homework, "Four Books", "Zuo Zhuan", "National Policies", "Zhuangzi", that's all."

Daiyu looked at her master, and immediately smiled: "How old are you, it's good to learn these things. Do you believe in Buddhism or Taoism?"

Master asked her to ask this question. Adults are usually quick-witted, cunning, and cautious, and it is difficult to ask the truth. Only children are good at it. They see everything in their eyes but don’t know how to guard against it. Maybe they can find out just by asking casually. Something big happened.

Baoyu really said: "Occasionally, my mother and I worship Buddha, read Buddhist scriptures, and also read Taoist scriptures."

Daiyu started with Lao Zhuang again and chatted with him a few words.
