Full grade Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Chapter 25

Palace
Kangxi was so angry that his face turned green, "Golden silk nanmu! How dare the Jia family use golden silk nanmu! It's really daring to die!"

The imperial concubine sat on the bed with her back leaning on the soft pillow, her face looked more and more haggard, but she cheered up and said in relief: "Why should the emperor be angry with those stupid idiots who don't know their minds, such idiots are better. When you want to tidy up, you can just grab a bunch of braids, and you can tidy up as you like, which is much better than those loyal traitors."

I am not afraid that you are rampant, but I am afraid that you are not rampant enough.

Kangxi naturally understood this truth very well, but he was still a little angry, feeling that the majesty of the royal family was offended, so he couldn't stop gnashing his teeth.

"I remember that there is a girl from the Jia family who works in your palace?"

The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's true, but I think there is no future for the concubines, so I spent a lot of money a few days ago and found another way out, and now it should be in the Yonghe Palace. "

The imperial concubine Jia Yuanchun's ambition is very clear in her heart, so she has never been willing to reuse her, she just put her under the bottom and is not allowed to show her head. She also understood that she dared not waste any more time in Chengqian Palace. So she ran around everywhere, and the imperial concubine thought about it, it would be better to get rid of this restless person, so as not to be a laughing stock before she died, so she let go and followed Jia Yuanchun's wishes.

But Kangxi didn't know the inside story, hearing what the imperial concubine said, he just thought that Jia Yuanchun saw that the imperial concubine was about to die, so he couldn't wait to abandon the old master and find another high branch.

"This dog slave who betrayed the master!" After a pause, Kangxi looked at the imperial concubine again, and explained, "This dog slave is of great use, don't worry too much."

This was because she was afraid that she wouldn't feel happy when she turned around and saw Jia Yuanchun being lifted up, because after all, she was a slave who had betrayed her.

The imperial concubine smiled gently, "Don't worry, the emperor, the concubine knows it well."

Concubine Ai was so understanding, Kangxi was satisfied in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm busy with government affairs and can't come to accompany you often. If you're bored, I'll pick up that girl from the Lin family to talk to you... I seem to have heard you say that girl lived in Dabaoen Temple?"

"That's not true." The imperial concubine showed helplessness, and said: "The man from the Jia family is becoming more and more shameless. Their family's notoriety is all over the capital. It's better to hide in the temple to be clean."

Kangxi also frowned, unable to hide the disgust between his eyebrows and eyes, and said: "It's too outrageous, so as not to be implicated in the sewage, but it's not okay to live in a temple. I remember that the Lin family also has a house in the capital. Tell them to send their servants to tidy up carefully and prepare to move back."

The implication is that Lin Ruhai is ready to transfer back to Beijing.

When Daiyu got the message from the imperial concubine, she jumped with joy, and Xueyan burst into tears of joy immediately.

"The master is here, so we don't have to be afraid of anything anymore." In the cold winter months, he was forced to hide in the temple, and the pain and sorrow were really unspeakable.

Daiyu sighed softly: "Who would have thought that one day I would have to guard against the schemes of my close relatives... I went to Ning Mansion a few days ago... the way my grandmother looked at me made my hair stand on end..." The once pure love seemed like a dream, and the eyes mixed with calculations made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles, and she felt uncomfortable even after being together for a moment.

"When the time comes, we will live in our own home and won't go to their home anymore. Father will always be able to protect us no matter what kind of ghosts and ghosts he conspires."

"Nurse He, go and tell Uncle Zhong to clean up the house again."

Not long after he first came to Beijing, Uncle Zhong found someone to repair and tidy up the house, and it would be no problem to live in it, at most it was just not meticulous enough.

Nanny He wiped her reddened eyes, responded and hurried away. The other girls even started to pack their luggage, wishing they could move back immediately.

When Daiyu saw the battle, she couldn't help feeling dumbfounded, "How could it be so fast? Father hasn't left yet. You hurriedly put away all your things. What can we use?"

Everyone in the Lin family in this room is looking forward to Lin Ruhai with their fingers. Daiyu deeply feels that life is like a year, and she really wants to wait until her father arrives. Became queen.

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat immediately, and her face turned pale.

Xueyan was shocked, and quickly supported her precarious body, "What's the matter, girl?"

"Imperial Concubine...I'm afraid something is wrong..." The inaudible voice was choked and trembling, Xue Yan could barely hear it, and after a long while in a daze, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Sure enough, bad news came out of the palace the next day. Although she had only been a queen for one day and went, she was canonized in a serious way, not posthumously, so the funeral was also a serious one. In national mourning, the entire palace, except for the emperor and the queen mother, the princes, princesses, concubines, down to all court ladies and eunuchs must wear filial piety. Civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty were not allowed to shave their heads, marry or hold banquets within a hundred days.

Although ordinary folks don't have to wear hemp and filial piety, they have to stop marrying and stop playing music. The doors of romantic places such as brothels and music workshops can't even be opened, which makes it hard for those who make a living. There is no food to eat, but no one dares to jump up and down, otherwise, if they are found out and reported to the government, their heads will fall.

The whole capital city seemed to be quiet in an instant, and the people coming and going on the street even spontaneously changed out of their brightly colored clothes and jewelry, and they didn't even dare to smile... The imperial court didn't have such mandatory requirements, but it was true. Wanton laughter is also a disaster. Although it is a bit of an overkill, the common people are more afraid of causing trouble.

Daiyu and Empress Xiaoyiren only met a few times, but thinking about her sincere love, she couldn't help but shed tears. She cried a few times, and then knelt in front of the Buddha statue and recited scriptures for two hours every day. , until the 49th day of July [-]th, just in time for the Chinese New Year, Daiyu took advantage of the opportunity to push Jia's invitation.

Jia's mother was quite unhappy about this, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to give up. Besides, she couldn't find an opera troupe to have fun like in previous years. At most, it was just a family reunion dinner together. Damn, the old lady became more and more lethargic, and she took a rest early after dinner.

Years later, as the coffin of Empress Xiao Yiren was sent to the underground palace, the capital gradually returned to bustling.

"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor!" Everyone in the room was talking when they saw Jia Baoyu rushing in like a small cannonball. After seeing the ceremony hastily, he plunged into Jia Mu's arms and twisted his twists and turns, "Old Ancestor, I want to go to Dabaoen Temple."

Mother Jia hugged him lovingly, "But do you want to see your sister Lin?"

Jia Baoyu nodded, and said: "Sister Lin went to pray for Empress Xiaoyiren, but now Empress Xiaoyiren is gone, they should come back, it just happened to be sunny today, why don't I go pick them up return."

Mrs. Wang reprimanded lightly: "Nonsense, it's so cold outside, you have suffered such a serious injury before and haven't healed well, what if you catch the cold again?" Worried about her son is one of them, the most important thing is her I can't see that my precious son values ​​the girl of the Lin family.

"What your mother said is very true." Mother Jia touched his face lovingly and said, "You are still very weak. Although there is no wind and snow outside today, it is even colder. Why go out and suffer? Just wait at home." Just tell your second sister-in-law to work hard."

Wang Xifeng: "..." Co-authoring the precious phoenix egg can't suffer, so she is inferior to him?
The smile on Wang Xifeng's face froze for a moment, and when she was about to speak, a woman walked in with a happy face.

"Old lady, my uncle has returned to Beijing! He has already entered the Lin family's mansion, and said that he will come to greet the old lady tomorrow."

Jia Mu was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and then her face became gloomy.

Her son-in-law has returned to Beijing, and she, the mother-in-law, was the last to know about it? The son-in-law never told her beforehand, and neither did the granddaughter. They didn't send the news until everyone arrived in the capital, and she was still in their eyes. No?
The old woman was waiting for a reward, but the old lady's reaction was far beyond her expectation. Seeing that her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, she immediately shrank her neck and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing the old lady's expression, the others didn't know how to react to the news, but Jia Baoyu looked innocent and curious.

"Are you talking about Uncle Lin?"

Mother Jia restrained her gloomy expression slightly, nodded, "Exactly."

"That's great. Sister Lin hasn't seen my uncle for a long time. I think she must be missing her very much. Now that father and daughter are reunited, it's great." Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, then thought of something, and smiled suddenly He paused, "No, no, since Uncle Lin returned to the capital, wouldn't Sister Lin go home to live in the future?"

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "It's only natural."

"No, no, I don't want Sister Lin to leave!" Jia Baoyu stomped his feet and pulled the old lady's sleeve with a face full of weeping, "Old Ancestor, you call Sister Lin and live in our house? Although Sister Bao moved out, But there are a few sisters in the family as companions, wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to be lively together? If you go back to the Lin family, but there is only sister Lin alone, it would be too deserted and lonely.”

Mother Jia glared at Wang Xifeng in displeasure, and said to the tortured Phoenix Egg: "The Lin family has no female elders and two girls, so there is no one to teach them. Naturally, they will still live in our house, so you can rest assured."

Jia Baoyu really showed a smile when he heard the words, "The old ancestor can be sure, he must not ask sister Lin to go home and live, it is best to leave them when uncle comes to pay his respects tomorrow, and I will watch them clean up in person. Let's go to the plum garden!" After saying that, he ran away.

Mother Jia shook her head helplessly, and looked at Wang Xifeng, "You know Baoyu's temperament, but why did you deliberately provoke him?" The words were very dissatisfied.

Mrs. Wang also looked at her coldly, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

This niece is getting more and more wrong, she can always stab and scratch her from time to time.

"The old lady really only loves Baoyu." Wang Xifeng wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, pretending to be wronged and said: "I just saw that the old lady treats Baoyu better than me, and I feel sour that I want to bully him... The old lady is a little bit It's fine if you don't comfort me, but you still scold me? Fortunately, the old lady always says she loves me. Compared with Baoyu, I am that little cabbage that no one loves and no one loves."

Jia Mu was so coaxed by her that she couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and laughed and scolded: "I am a mother myself, why are I jealous with children? I am getting more and more shameless, and I am not afraid of people's jokes."
