My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 237 The envy of all the girls
Although everyone did not see the battle between Jia Yu and Jiangnan Camp with their own eyes, they knew from their imagination that more than just many people died in that battle.

That's 56 million taels of silver. Once the eleven years of taxes are obtained, the court's financial embarrassment will definitely be greatly alleviated, and the court will not even be so embarrassed in the next few years.

It was precisely because of such great achievements that Emperor Changping made an exception and promoted Jia Yu to the position of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, and also gave Daiyu to him as his wife.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Daiyu and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It is said that a wife is valued by her husband, but this sentence couldn't be more suitable for Daiyu.

After Lin Ruhai came back from Yangzhou and married Jia Yu, she became the official wife of the Jiedushi of Beijing Camp, and her reputation was even more majestic than that of Wang Ziteng's wife.

At that time, Wang Ziteng didn't think that he was nominally the deputy governor of the Beijing camp, but the only ones who really obeyed his orders were Feng Tang's Selected Front Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion that he personally commanded. The other six battalions were all in the hands of the Supreme Emperor.

Now that the Jingying camp was crippled by Tuotuo Buhua in Tongguan, although the reconstruction of the Jingying camp had to be started from scratch, the advantage was that from now on the Jingying camp would definitely be marked with Jia Yu's mark, thus being completely under his control.

From this point of view, even Wang Zitengpaima can't compare with him.

Sister Feng asked with a playful smile: "Sister Lin... we women will not talk about those things like fighting and killing. That is the business of the elders. My sister-in-law just wants to know when can everyone get to drink with you and Brother Yu." My son’s wedding wine?”

She walked over, hugged Xiangyun's slender waist and said softly: "Good sister, it was my sister's fault. Isn't it okay for my sister to compensate you?"

But Xiangyun is still a girl who has not yet left the court. Although she is bold and generous on weekdays, she is still a girl after all, and she cannot bear this joke.

"Hey... Jieduzhi's wife is going to hit someone!"

It is now a certainty that Daiyu will marry Jia Yu. With both the orders of her parents and the imperial edict from the emperor, it can be said that the two parties are just about to get married and enter the bridal chamber.

"coax……"

Now seeing that her father is about to return to Beijing, and that she is about to marry Jia Yu and become the real wife of the Jiedushi Dynasty, it is the time when she feels full of security. After hearing this, she feels that what she just said seems to be a bit too much.

Xiangyun, who has a straightforward temper, took Daiyu's little hand and smiled: "Sister-in-law Lian's words are exactly what I want to ask. You must know that Sister Yuanchun is about to give birth, and Uncle Dingyuan's mansion is in urgent need of a wife to take charge of the back house. , you should hurry up and get married now, just in time to take care of the affairs of Uncle Dingyuan’s Mansion for Sister Yuan Chun."

Although Daiyu desperately wanted to catch up, her body and bones were much better than before she went to Yangzhou, but she was still much worse than Xiangyun.

Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed towards Xiangyun with a blushing face.

As soon as this question came out, everyone looked over curiously, especially the girls.

Daiyu is a kind-hearted girl after all. Although she likes to quarrel with others, it is just a self-protection method she used to protect herself in Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that the game was finally restored, Daiyu gave her a triumphant look.

Finally, he had to stop panting, pointed at Xiangyun and shouted: "You Xiangyun, how dare you tease me? Believe it or not, when I become the wife of Jiedushi, I will immediately beg Brother Yu and your Majesty." I have decreed that you will be married to him as his wife, and then you will see how I will deal with it!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then the whole Rongqing Hall burst into laughter like an explosion.

After chasing for a while, he began to pant and his face turned red.

This time it was Xiangyun's turn that he couldn't stand it anymore.

The two girls chased Baochai, Yingchun and Xichun.

Hearing this, her cute apple face turned as red as red cloth. She pointed at Daiyu with her slender jade finger and was so embarrassed that she covered her face for a moment.

"Hey... you're going to die. This is something you, a girl who has not yet left the government, can say. See if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

Damn it...I can't deal with you anymore.

Mother Jia still couldn't see it, she slapped Daiyu's arm angrily and said with a smile: "You damn girl, Xiangyun is still a girl who has not yet left the court. How could you make such a joke with her? Why don't you tell her quickly?" apologize."

Xiangyun didn't respond for a long time. Daiyu couldn't help but pull away her hand covering her face. But this pull caused something wrong, and she saw that Xiangyun had already burst into tears.

This shocked everyone. You must know that Xiangyun is famous for her boldness. It is rare to see her cry like other girls, but today she was made to cry by one of Daiyu's jokes. This has never happened before.

Jia Mu was also startled. She came over and hugged Xiangyun, comforting her in a low voice: "Girl Yun, don't cry, it's all this girl Lin's fault. How will the old lady scold her later!"

Girl Lin, what's wrong with you? Why did you make Girl Yun cry? Why don't you come over and apologize to Girl Yun? "

After saying that, he also winked at Daiyu.

When Daiyu saw this, she realized that her joke just now seemed to be a bit too much. She thought for a moment, walked to Zijuan and whispered a few words to her.

After hearing this, Zicuckoo shook her little head like a rattle and refused to agree to anything.

In the end, Daiyu's pretty face darkened, her tone became increasingly stern, and she slowly walked out reluctantly.

After Zijuan went out, Daiyu walked up to Xiangyun again, hugged her slender waist and said with a smile: "Okay... It's my sister who is wrong. The joke she made was a bit too much. I apologize to you.

In this way, my sister gives you a good thing and keeps it for you to like. What do you think? "

Xiangyun originally had a bold temperament, but the reason why he lost his composure just now was because he couldn't stand up in front of everyone. He shed tears in desperation. After being comforted by Jia Mu and Daiyu in turn, his heart returned to calm.

After hearing this, she wiped her tears and put a smile on her face again, "Sister Lin, this is what you said. If it's not good, I won't obey it."

"Sister Yun, just don't worry. If you're still not satisfied after seeing it, you can just scold me."

While talking, Zicuckoo came back soon.

This time she was holding a large box in her hand, which looked quite heavy.

Daiyu pointed to the table next to her and said, "Put it there."

"it is good!"

When Zijuan put the box on the table, Daiyu pulled Xiangyun over and everyone gathered around out of curiosity.

Daiyu opened the box and revealed the contents.

As soon as this thing was revealed, it immediately attracted exclamations from everyone. This is a dark green cosmetic box that is seventy centimeters long, over thirty centimeters wide, and over sixty centimeters high.

Not to mention anything else, the appearance of this thing alone was enough to make all the women cover their mouths and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

In the upper left corner of this makeup box is a round mirror.

Everyone present is a good judge of goods. The market value of this exquisitely crafted mirror, where even a person's hair is clearly visible, is no less than five or six hundred taels of silver.

In the lower right corner of the cosmetic box is a small fan-shaped room, which contains many exquisite cosmetic paste-like things. In the lower left corner is also a small door, which is filled with various unique cosmetics.

Daiyu opened the small door, took out several bottles of cosmetics and explained: "Sister Yun, this is foundation, which is used to cover skin blemishes and even out skin tone. This is body lotion, which is used to moisturize the skin. , this one is..."

Xiangyun's little mouth opened wide as Daiyu explained these cosmetics one by one. As the eldest lady of the Baolinghou Mansion, she had seen countless rouges and gouache in her daily life.

There are those developed from pearl powder, and there are also those made from flowers, minerals and even all kinds of exotic fruits. But this is the first time that something like this is snow-white and completely transparent.

Moreover, these things have different uses. She has never heard of them, not to mention seeing them before, such as those for concealing, whitening, emulsifying the skin, and even moisturizing lotions.

At this moment, she felt like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city. Looking at the dazzling array of cosmetics, it seemed that her eyes were not enough.

In fact, she is not the only one who feels that her eyes are not enough.

It is said that women have the same feelings about some things, and no woman can refuse something that increases her charm.

This has nothing to do with age or status.

Shi Xiangyun swallowed. At this time, she wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say anything.

If it was ordinary gold, silver, jewelry or other rare things, she would have rejected them without hesitation, but this thing just seemed to hit her Achilles heel, and there were some words that she couldn't say out loud.

After a long time, she said with difficulty: "Sister Lin...isn't this bad?"

Daiyu smiled sweetly and touched her hair: "It's okay, this is for you, just take it and use it."

At this time, most of the people in Rongqing Hall, except for a few men such as Jia Lian and Jia Rong, were women. Looking at the beautifully made cosmetic box on the table and the dazzling array of cosmetics inside, a Everyone's eyes changed, and finally all eyes fell on Daiyu.

After all, Daiyu is a girl with a beautiful appearance and a smart mind. Looking at the hot looks cast by the women, she certainly understands the meaning.

As expected, Wang Xifeng swallowed and said hurriedly: "Sister Lin, where did you buy this set of rouge and gouache? Help my sister-in-law get a set too.

Don't worry, I won't let you do it in vain. Just tell me how much it will cost, and my sister-in-law will have someone deliver it to you right away. You can also tell me the transportation fee and so on. What do you think? "

She could only smile bitterly and said: "Second Sister-in-law Lian, Sister-in-law Zhu, Sister-in-law You, I know what you want to say, but there is only one set of rouge and gouache, so I really can't give it to you."

"There is only one set, how is this possible?" Wang Xifeng asked doubtfully: "Where did you buy this set of rouge and gouache? Why did you only buy one set?"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng didn't believe what her young lady said, Xue Yan couldn't help but said: "Second Grandma Lian, my young lady didn't lie.

This set of rouge and gouache was given to the young lady by our uncle. There was no place to buy it in Daxia. Only Xiyi had a small amount of stock. Our uncle also spent a lot of effort to get a few sets.

One of the sets was given to the Queen. People in the palace said that the Queen regarded it as a treasure after getting it. This thing cannot be obtained with money.

If you ask our lady to make another one, it will embarrass her. "

Logically speaking, when the masters are talking, Xue Yan, as a slave, cannot interrupt. If someone else were to criticize Wang Xifeng like this, they would have to be dragged out and slapped.

But Xueyan was a maid assigned to Daiyu by Lin Ruhai personally, and Daiyu was the future wife of the Jiedushi Commander. If she was really dragged out and slapped, it would not be Xueyan who would be beaten, but Daiyu. face.

As an expert in house fighting, Wang Xifeng would naturally not make such a mistake.

Although a look of displeasure flashed across her eyes, it was immediately replaced by heat.

A great writer of later generations once said that people are cheap, and the less they can get something, the more they want it.

At this time, not only her, but also the elderly Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Youshi and others looked at the exquisite makeup box on the table with strange lights in their eyes.

I don’t know if this thing is useful or not, but just the fact that it is the same style of rouge and gouache as the Queen’s makes her worth thousands of dollars.

And Xiangyun seemed to be aware of the malicious glances from around him. He hugged the box as a reflex and said to Wang Xifeng vigilantly: "Second sister-in-law Lian, what do you like about the things in my house?" You can take whatever you want, but this thing won’t work.”

Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and gave her and Daiyu a hateful look, "You damn girl, I've spent all my time hurting you in vain. It's so rare for me to like the same thing, but you guys stopped me before I even opened my mouth. .”

Xiangyun pouted and said: "Second sister-in-law Lian, how can you say that to me? This thing was given to me by Sister Lin. If you really like it, why not ask Sister Lin to ask Brother Yu for two more sets?" Well, isn’t that good?”

"Yes."

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, but then she thought about it and shook her head, laughing self-deprecatingly.

"This thing is so precious. Brother Yu can give it to the Queen and Sister Lin, but he will never give it to me. Forget it, we still don't have that fate."

After saying that, she glanced at Daiyu with some envy.

She is a strong person and likes to compete in everything, but now she finds that some people are already at the pinnacle of life even if they do nothing.

What they strive for but cannot get is easily available to some people.

At this moment, she suddenly felt uninterested and got up.

He waved his hands in some frustration, that's all, it's better not to embarrass himself.

Daiyu felt a little guilty when she saw Wang Xifeng's expression.

Although she wanted to help her get a set, she also knew that it would not be easy for Jia Yu to get. It was already very bad for her to give the things he gave to Xiangyun, so how could she be so embarrassed? Ask the other party to help second sister-in-law Lian get another set.
