Full grade Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Chapter 9
After a while, Yinzhen arrived, returning to his old and mature appearance.

The imperial concubine jokingly said: "This is the son of my palace, but I don't know where that brat came from just now."

"Emperor Niang." Yinzhen was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." The imperial concubine smiled and said: "There are no outsiders at the moment, you can tell me honestly, but did you fall in love with her little girl?"

Yinzhen's face couldn't help flushing again: "How could the Queen's mother say such Meng Lang's words!"

"Oh? Do you dislike the empress's wife Meng Lang? Concubine De told the emperor a few days ago that she wanted to point out the girl from the Wulanara family to you as a Fujin. I thought you had a crush on the girl from the Lin family and wanted to say Either Bengong will go to intercede with the emperor, it seems that Bengong wants to go wrong, since this is the case..."

"Emperor Niang!" Yinzhen had no choice but to say in a low voice: "My minister is wrong, Mrs. Huang Erniang has a lot, so don't argue with me."

The imperial concubine snorted in satisfaction, and then said: "Don't worry, since you have fallen in love with her, the Queen Mother will make your wish come true no matter what."

At this moment, Daiyu obviously didn't know that this unexpected trip to the palace had even more accidentally confessed to her herself, and she was sitting in the carriage staring at a purse in a daze.

Just now when they came out of Chengqian Palace, they bumped into Jia Yuanchun, and then they stuffed such a purse in their hands, obviously they wanted to send a message to the family through their hands.

"Miss, does this count as a private relationship?" Xueyan frowned, letting people know that they would inevitably suffer.

Daiyu twitched her lips helplessly: "It's already like this, what else can I do? Just be more careful in the future, but the imperial concubine may not call me again, after all, the imperial concubine and mother have lost contact for many years , now that the imperial concubine herself is not in good health, I'm afraid she doesn't have that much energy."

Xueyan was still unhappy: "This big girl is too thoughtless in doing things." Not to mention the maids, even the master's empress, they are not allowed to communicate with outside the palace at will. Not wronged.

"I'm afraid I'm really in a hurry." Daiyu held the purse, not intending to open it to read, but thoughtfully said: "Jia Yuanchun should be in his 20s. The maid of honor will leave the palace at the age of 25."

Daiyu came back with a generous reward, it can be seen that she has won the favor of the imperial concubine, Jiamu and the others are all very happy, but who knows that before they can sit down and say a few words, another eunuch chases after him, and once again A batch of rewards was given.

This strange behavior caused everyone to be surprised and stunned, only to hear the eunuch say with a smile: "The original reward was prepared long ago, who knows that the imperial concubine loves Miss Lin very much after meeting, and feels that the reward is too thin. I was in a hurry and asked the slaves to pick some carefully and chase them, you don’t need to panic, the girl can just accept it, it’s just a reward from the elders, it’s all just going to talk to the empress to relieve boredom in the future.”

After all, the eunuch led a group of palace people to leave, Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed him with a purse, and sent them out all the way in person.

The purse was light in his hand, knowing that it must be a bank note, the eunuch never refused, and only accepted it with a smile.

People have gone away, leaving only the pile of rewards, and everyone looked at each other with expressions of joy.

Mother Jia smiled so that the wrinkles on her face deepened, and she pulled Daiyu into her arms and rubbed her heart and soul again: "No wonder I love my granddaughter so much, with such a character and appearance, nine days later The fairies above are nothing more than that, who would not love them after seeing them."

While speaking, intentionally or unintentionally, he sized Daiyu's face seriously.

She is old and smart, so she noticed it, just now the eunuch said "the empress loves Miss Lin very much", which made her feel suspicious.

If it is said that her granddaughter, this appearance is really stunning, she will be favored by nobles, she is not surprised at all.

Everyone was flattering, even Mrs. Wang didn't install wood this time, she smiled very courteously, and even pulled Daiyu's hand forward.

"They are all good children. There will be great fortune in the future. Since the imperial concubine loves you so much, then you should go to the palace often in the future. Don't disappoint the empress's love."

Daiyu couldn't help thinking of the purse that Jia Yuanchun had stuffed for her, and wondered to herself, could this Mrs. Wang also have the same idea, pointing her to be a messenger?
Wang Xifeng also smiled warmly and said: "I've grown up so much that I have never been in the palace. When I have free time, I have to bother my sister so that I can know what the palace looks like." I mean very close.

Mrs. Xing has long been dazzled by the pile of rewards, and she couldn't take her eyes off those objects, "These fox furs are very good, just because I'm afraid of the cold..."

"What's the matter with you?" Mother Jia interrupted her directly, and said with a sullen sneer: "Things with shallow eyelids, when they see something good, they want to grab it in their arms, and they don't even look at themselves. Unworthy! The imperial concubine's reward is something you can touch? Which card are you on? Don't be ashamed of yourself here! This is the imperial concubine's reward for my granddaughter, and it can only be given to her Who dares to try one? Let the imperial concubine know, and chop off your paws as well, don't implicate us!"

These words are scolding Mrs. Xing, but they are also a warning to other people. How can she not be clear about the virtues of everyone in this house? She is afraid that the shameless little girl will feel embarrassed because of her thin skin Refuse, just do that shameless thing.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother said again: "I forgot before, but now that it's related to such a thing, I'll just say it again, my granddaughter has a lot of good things, and she must have that jealous and shameless woman." No skin to pester the little girl, if I know which of you dare to miss my granddaughter's things, I won't take your skin off!"

No matter what thoughts they had in their hearts, after hearing what the old lady said, everyone was in a hurry to express their attitudes.

Mrs. Xing's face turned red for a while, she was ashamed and annoyed, and more naturally she was heartbroken, heartache for so many good things she couldn't get her hands on at all, and heartache for Daiyu's rich family background.

Xue Baochai, who had been silent at the side, looked at Daiyu who was being flattered by all the masters and servants, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart. It's not that she has shallow eyesight to think about the reward, but she is a little envious of the background of the girl from the Lin family. The daughter of a high official and the daughter of a merchant are really very different, it can be called a difference between clouds and mud. The background of the girl of the Lin family makes it possible even for her elder brother to become a Fujin, but what about herself? To put it bluntly, the emperor , In fact, it's just a merchant who can't get on the stage. With her background, if she really wants to enter the backyard of her elder brother, she can only be a princess.

She has the ambition to be a blue sky, but the more she grows up and the more she understands, the more she understands how difficult it is to realize her dreams. Now the best future in front of her is Baoyu, but Baoyu is only the second wife of Rongfu. The legitimate son, no matter how favored the old lady is, it is not his turn to inherit the Rongfu. If he has the ability, with the family relationship of the Rongfu, he will not be bad in the future, but he hates reading very much. I hate being an official in the imperial examination, and I just hang out with my sister and sister all day long...

Once the old lady is gone in the future, the second room must be separated, and then what is Baoyu? It is just the son of a fifth-rank official, and a random plaque in the capital can kill a group of fifth-ranking officials. Petty official.

The more she thought about it, the more unhappy Xue Baochai felt in her heart. She asked herself how could she be willing to be mediocre even if she was the best in talent, learning and appearance?
The room was full of excitement, only Aunt Xue noticed her silence, but everyone else surrounded Daiyu and made love, as if they were separated from the mother and daughter.

Daiyu was really impatient to listen to these flattery, and didn't want to be rubbed by the old lady in her arms like a pillow, so she took out the purse and handed it to the old lady, saying: "I met my cousin when I came out, this is My cousin slipped it to me secretly, presumably to pass on something to the family."

The talking and laughing stopped immediately, and Mother Jia let go of Daiyu in a hurry, and opened the purse, which was indeed a letter.

"Read it to me quickly." Mother Jia slipped the letter to Daiyu. She is getting old and her eyesight is not working well. It is really hard to read these densely packed small characters.

Daiyu took the letter and glanced at it, generally saying how much she misses her family, and then asked if the old lady, the old man and the wife are well, how is Baoyu, how is her study, and so on. Words are obviously the main purpose of her letter—to ask for money, and the price is 3 taels.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were still wiping away tears before, but when they heard 3 taels, they were all stunned.

Mrs. Xing immediately jumped up, "When I entered the palace, I brought [-] yuan with me. Over the years, I secretly sent in three to five thousand yuan a few times, and the total is tens of thousands."

"This time, she asked for [-] yuan again. It is our family's fault that she is the treasury! After spending so much money in the palace for so many years, how can she still have the face to ask for money when she is still a little maid? Since she doesn't have that ability, why don't she wait for two years to be released and get married, why do you need money? She doesn't have that life!"

Mrs. Wang's complexion darkened, and she looked at Mrs. Xing bitterly: "Shut up! My Yuanchun was born on the first month of the first lunar month, and my fate is precious. It must be a great fortune. Now it's just that the time has not come yet. This time she suddenly If you want so much money, you must have a plan, and you have invested in it all these years, how can you give up at this juncture?"

Obviously these words were not just for Mrs. Xing, she was afraid that Mother Jia would not help her daughter anymore.

Sure enough, after seeing Mother Jia hesitate for a while, she said: "The second child's family is right. I've been wasting all these years. There's no reason to give up at this juncture."

Mrs. Xing has always been afraid of the old lady, but now her own interests are involved, she has become more courageous, and she just sneered at Mrs. Wang: "I won't say anything if you want to support your own daughter." What, just pay from your own dowry, not the money from the mansion. This Rong mansion is not just your second wife's, but our eldest family's successor. It stands to reason that most of the property in this mansion should be It doesn’t make sense for those who belong to our first room to empty out our first room to give flowers to your second room girl!”

When Wang Xifeng at the side heard these words, he swallowed the words immediately, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"It's the other way around! I'm still thinking about the separation before I'm dead? You unfilial thing!" Jia's mother was furious, pointing at Madam Xing's nose and trembling with anger.

Mrs. Xing's face paled, but when she thought of taking so much money for the second room all these years, her shrinking mood became more determined. She just slapped her thigh and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "The old lady is partial The second room can't be so biased, right? We have to empty out our big house to raise the second room. How can there be such a thing in the world? My master is really miserable!"

"You...you..." Mother Jia was so annoyed by her demeanor of a market lady that she was speechless for a while.

Yuanyang on the side was afraid that she would faint from anger, so she had to calm down quickly, and said to Mrs. Xing angrily: "Madam, please calm down, the old lady is old, but she can't stand your disobedience!"

Mrs. Xing immediately spat at her: "How can you, a slave, interrupt what the master is saying? No matter what I am, I am the eldest wife of the Rong Mansion. When is it your turn to teach me a lesson!"

Yuanyang's pretty face flushed, and tears came down.

"Okay! Even the girl in front of me dares to scold me now, do you still see me as a mother-in-law? You..." As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady rolled her eyes and passed out.

Mrs. Wang's eyes flickered, and she shouted in panic: "It's not good, come quickly, the old lady is fainted by the old lady!"
