Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 85 [085] Jia Chen loves Lin Daiyu
Daming Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Chongrui took a nap for a while, and when he woke up, he suddenly remembered Jia Chen, and called Dai Quan to his side.

"Big Companion, last time that kid from Jia's family was kind of interesting, I want to reward him with something."

Dai Quan had a delicate mind, and immediately understood that Emperor Chongrui wanted to win over Jia Chen.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated Jia Chen. He wrote a copy of "Guidelines for Disciples" and a copy of "Four Lessons of Liao Fan". To move his heart, His Majesty only needs to reward him with some delicate and thoughtful gadgets."

Emperor Chongrui was stunned for a moment, then sighed and sighed:
"I didn't expect that this kid not only has great strength and martial arts skills, but he can also write a book about it. He is really good at both literature and martial arts. What kind of cream is that he wants to sell? What kind of novelty is it? Can it be eaten?"

Dai Quan suppressed a smile and explained:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is a cosmetic for wiping the face."

The corner of Emperor Chongrui's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a dry smile:
"I have already guessed that it is not for food. You can buy a few bottles and bring them back, and give them to the concubines in the harem to try. If the effect is good, you can go to buy them regularly in the future. Don't wait for the folks to become popular. They haven't used them in the harem yet. , that would damage the face of the royal family."

Dai Quan knew that Emperor Chongrui was good at face, and quickly responded: "Your Majesty is wise, I will do it now."

Emperor Chongrui said: "Wait, I still have an errand for you."

Dai Quan said:
"Your Majesty, please order."

Emperor Chongrui said:

"Then Jia Chen is so smart that he can invent such a novelty as cream, and our palace officials can't let him underestimate him.

Since he intends to make these small things like rouge and gouache, he probably also wants to use them for the female family members of the Jia family. You can get two high-quality hairpins from the harem and give them to him, so that he can see how precious our royal jewelry is! "

Dai Quan knew that Emperor Chongrui wanted to use this excuse to reward Jia Chen, so he saluted and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty is wise, I will do it myself!"

Dai Quan bowed out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, went to the Si Zhenfang of the Shang Palace Bureau to pick two eight-treasure gold hairpins, and then led a group of eunuchs, maids, and guards to put on a royal guard of honor and went to Rongguo Mansion to pass the decree.

Dai Quan first sent a young eunuch to the Rongguo Mansion on a fast horse, and informed everyone in the mansion to go out and wait for the order.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, and Jia's house was full of commotion and panic, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Jia Mu hastily changed into the Fengguan Xiapei worn by the first-grade wife of Gaoming, and led all the masters of the Ningrong Second Mansion, and went out to wait for the angel.

The little eunuch asked Jia's mother who is Jia Chen's son?
After careful questioning by Jia's mother, she realized that the imperial decree was to be issued to Jia Chen today.

Mother Jia hurriedly sent someone to the back street of Ningrong, and invited Jia Chen over.

Jia Chen was wearing the official robe of a fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife, and he came at every step with the wind, like a dragon and a tiger.

Soon, the royal guard of honor sounded the gong to clear the way, passing through the streets and alleys.

Two young eunuchs opened the sedan chair curtain, supported Dai Quan, and got out of the sedan chair.

Dai Quan was followed by several court ladies, one of whom was holding a gift box wrapped in yellow silk brocade.

Mother Jia hurriedly took the lead to salute and said:
"The servants and the entire family are welcome to the holy car."

Dai Quan smiled and said:

"Where is Mr. Jia Chen? Come out and receive the order!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on Jia Chen.

His eyes were full of envy and curiosity.

Jia Chen stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "The minister is here!"

Dai Quan said in a voice that was neither male nor female:
"According to His Majesty's oral order, I bestow two eight-treasure golden hairpins on Jia Chen, the fourth-rank royal guard with a knife."

Jia Chen saluted and said:
"The humble minister leads the decree to thank you!"

Under everyone's envious eyes, Jia Chen took the yellow silk brocade gift box from the maid.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Chen with appreciation and relief.

Among the descendants of the Jia family, only Jia Chen is the most promising, and the future of the Jia family can only rest on Jia Chen.

Mother Jia lamented in her heart, but it's a pity that Baoyu can't even match half of Jia Chen's. In the future, Jia Chen will need to help Baoyu to support the lintel of Jia's family.

Dai Quan smiled at Jia Chen and said:
"Lord Jia is really lucky. His Majesty misses you so much that he ordered me to deliver palace flowers to you, and also wanted me to buy cream from your workshop. Lord Jia, Jane is in the heart of the emperor!"

Jia Chen laughed and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Internal Minister, for making this special trip. I will keep it in my heart, and I will never forget my gratitude."

Jia Mu also echoed:

"Master Neixiang has worked hard, please come to the mansion to have a cup of tea and rest!"

Dai Quan smiled and said:

"Thank you, Lord Jia, for your kindness. Our family still needs to rush back to the palace to serve His Majesty. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will leave now!"

After finishing speaking, he got into the sedan chair and walked away.

Mother Jia invited Jia Chen to sit in the mansion, drink a few cups of tea, and chat about the household chores.

Jia Chen did not refuse, and followed Jia's mother into the Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion.

After chatting for a while, Jia Chen suddenly said:
"As a man, I don't need these two eight-treasure gold hairpins. I want to give both of these two gold hairpins to the old lady's granddaughter Daiyu."

Mother Jia was slightly taken aback, and agreed thoughtfully:
"Okay, brother Chen is interested, you put it here first, and I will send someone to take it over later."

As she spoke, Jiamu murmured in her heart:
Why did Jia Chen only give it to Lin Daiyu?
Could it be that Jia Chen is interested in Daiyu?
At the same time, Zhou Rui's family asked Mrs. Wang to report the errands of the day, but she looked for Mrs. Wang everywhere and found Lixiangyuan where Aunt Xue lived.

Mrs. Wang is drinking tea and chatting with Aunt Xue here.

Zhou Rui's family saluted Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang and exchanged a few words.

Aunt Xue suddenly remembered something.

She ordered the servant girl to go into the inner room and take out a small wooden box.

Aunt Xue opened the small wooden box, only to find twelve colorful gauze flowers lying inside.

Aunt Xue smiled and said:
"This is a new style in the palace, flowers woven with gauze and silk.

Baochai doesn't like these flowers and powders, it's a pity that they are worn out, so why don't they wear them for their sisters.

I was about to send someone to deliver them one by one, and it happened that you came here today, so you helped me to send them to the three girls in your family, each with a pair.

For the remaining six sticks, I gave two sticks to Miss Lin, and the last four sticks to Girl Feng. "

Mrs. Wang thanked and ordered Zhou Rui's family to do it immediately.

Zhou Rui's family took the palace flowers, walked around the Rongxi Hall, and walked to the Baoxia Hall at the back.

Now Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun all live in these Baosha halls.

Zhou Rui's family asked Sanchun to pick out the palace flowers first, and then rushed to Wang Xifeng's courtyard.

Wang Xifeng asked the servant girl Ping'er to pick four sticks.

In the end, there were only two branches left, and Zhou Rui's family didn't even look at them, so they rushed to Lin Daiyu's courtyard with them.

After knocking on the door and entering, Zhou Rui's family was slightly taken aback, it turned out that Jia Baoyu was also here.

Zhou Rui's family saluted Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, then took out the box containing palace flowers and handed it to Lin Daiyu.

"My aunt took a box of womb flowers, and these two belong to Miss Lin."

"What flowers?" Lin Daiyu asked.

Zhou Rui's family told Daiyu what Aunt Xue said again.

Jia Baoyu was deviant, he liked to appreciate girls' things, so he hurriedly opened the box, looked it over, and said with a beaming smile:
"It was originally woven out of gauze and silk. It looks pretty good. Sister Lin must look good on her head."

Daiyu couldn't get used to Baoyu's frivolous tone, so she pretended she didn't hear anything, and looked into the box by herself.

I saw two flowers lying in the empty box.

Nice style, nice workmanship.

Daiyu withdrew her gaze sullenly, and asked unintentionally:

"Is it for me alone, or for all the other girls?"

Zhou Rui's family said indifferently and indifferently:

"Everyone has it. These two belong to Miss Lin."

Daiyu's eyes darkened immediately, and her face collapsed.

It stands to reason that Jia Baoyu pestered himself every day like Twisted Butt Candy.

Why are the maids and women in the Rong Mansion treating her so scornfully?

Isn't this obviously bullying?

Recalling Brother Chen's meticulous care and care for her, Daiyu felt even more panicked.

The maids and women in the Rongguo Mansion bullied her and sent her under the fence, so they neglected and humiliated her so much!
"I knew that others wouldn't give me the rest if they didn't choose." Lin Daiyu deliberately played a small temper and snorted coldly.

She is ice-snow and smart, and knows that Zhou Rui's family can't be amiable when faced with this kind of bullying and flattering slave.

The more polite you are, the more the other party will feel that you are weak and can be bullied.

Zhou Rui's family was silent, their faces were cold, and it seemed that they didn't bother to talk to each other at all.

Lin Daiyu felt even more depressed, this week Rui's family didn't take herself seriously at all, she was really a bully!

At this moment, Zijuan walked in from the outside and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, Sister Yuanyang is here."

Lin Daiyu hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly."

Zijuan opened the door curtain, and Yuanyang walked in holding a box wrapped in yellow silk brocade.

"Miss Lin, this is a gift box that the old lady sent me. She said it was a gift from His Majesty to Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen asked the old lady to give it to Miss Lin."
