Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 14

The two joined hands to board the gazebo behind the rockery, far away from the noise in the distance, and it really seemed extraordinarily peaceful.The faint gloom that had gathered in Daiyu's heart also dissipated a lot.

Daiyu saw that An Xian was staring at the noisy direction, with a hint of melancholy on her brows, so she knew that she must be feeling sad for a few days of gatherings, and this was probably the meaning of Concubine Beijing Jing.It's just that this is a family matter, but it's not easy to talk about it.

On the contrary, An Xian quickly came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I made you laugh. I also know in my heart that this day will always come, but I always hope that it will be later." Daiyu didn't know what to do Comforting her, she had to say: "My lord and my sister have a deep relationship, and I will definitely not let my sister down." An Xian smiled lightly and said: "The lord treats me very well. Which woman in the capital doesn't envy me. It's a pity that this After all, the Prince's Palace in Beijing needs an heir, I'm useless..." Their husband and wife have been in harmony for several years, but unfortunately she has never been able to conceive. Although the concubine treats her very well, the old man always wants to have a grandson Yes, I have been thinking about giving the prince a side concubine for a long time.Whether she is a princess or a daughter-in-law, she cannot be stopped.Looking at Daiyu's beautiful and quiet face, Anxian couldn't help but think of what the concubine said to herself, "The girls of the Lin family are all excellent in appearance and manner, and they are not like those shameless and shameless girls who will be jealous when they marry. The family background is noble, so naturally we can't be wronged like those ignorant people. We will be brought in as the equal wives. If we can give birth to a son for Rong'er in the future, it's better for you to get along well than to let those women come in one after another. Much better? The concubine mother is also a woman, how can she not know the pain in your heart?" The old concubine naturally thinks of her son in everything, she can't have children, and the concubine doesn't want her grandson to be unable to make it to the stage A bastard born to a woman.But after all, she also took care of her daughter-in-law. If she finds someone who is domineering and domineering, she will have a hard time as a princess in the future.

An Xian's thoughts turned back and forth in her heart, she looked up at Daiyu and looked at herself with some worry.He secretly said in his heart: I am afraid that I have wronged this girl.Looking back on the love and harmony between her husband and wife for the past two years, what can she do?After all, the Beijing Palace still needs an heir.That's all... If I can really be a prince... so what if I give up the position of concubine?Thinking of this, An Xian swallowed the bitterness in her heart and made up her mind, but how to get rid of the faint helplessness and sadness in her heart?

"Sister, would you like to come with me to meet the prince?" An Xian asked in a low voice while looking at Daiyu.

Daiyu looked up at her in surprise, and also saw the sadness in her eyes.He said lightly: "Daiyu is still in the period of filial piety, and it would be very unfilial to come out today. Brother-in-law An, see you later."

An Xian froze, stared blankly at Daiyu's clear eyes, and immediately understood what she meant.I couldn't help but feel disappointed, happy, and ashamed at the same time. I didn't know what to say for a while, "Sister..."

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Since Daiyu recognizes Sister An as her sister, the prince is naturally Daiyu's brother-in-law. Or is it that my sister really doesn't want to recognize Daiyu as her sister?" An Xian was stunned for a long time, and finally smiled with relief. : "Forget it, but I was a villain in vain. Don't blame my sister."

"Sister An is serious."

When Daiyu and Anxian went in hand in hand, a person turned out from the rockery cave under the gazebo, with a face like beautiful jade and a graceful figure.Wearing a robe with a silver python pattern on a white background, it is the king of Beijing County.Shui Rong looked at the back of the two leaving thoughtfully, thinking about the conversation between Daiyu and An Xian just now, and secretly praised what a smart woman she is.Thinking of his princess An Xian, Shui Rong couldn't hide the guilt in his eyes.He was not that frivolous and lustful person in the first place, and he and his wife are also a husband and wife who treat each other harmoniously and respectfully, so why add a few more people to make the originally peaceful home become smoky?Being in the royal family since he was a child, he has long been tired of seeing the intrigue among those women, but he doesn't want to have to destroy this tranquility with his own hands now.

When Daiyu and An Xian returned to the crowd, they heard that the King of Beijing had just come to greet the concubine and then left.There was a little warmth in An Xian's eyes, and Dai Yu secretly thought that the King of Beijing Jing was not the kind of womanizer.Otherwise, it would be a bit of a waste for sister An Xian to match him.Baochai sat in the last seat, watching Daiyu and Anxian return, her expression became more intimate than before, she secretly tightened the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and followed the person sitting next to her without revealing anything. Women talk.

Concubine Toffee's age is no longer considered ridiculous, and she was a little tired talking and laughing with these girls all morning. After tea, she ordered An Xian to greet these ladies, and went to take a nap by herself.The concubine was gone, and these girls also gathered in twos and threes to chat and laugh with their familiar sisters.Daiyu also smiled and pushed An Xian to greet the guests. She sat on the edge of a relatively quiet pond to rest, while Red Lotus Snow Goose and others waited quietly.

Baochai brought Sanchun Xiangyun to look for them, and Xichun saw that Daiyu had a lot of smiles on her face, "Sister Lin, you are lazy, so you came here." Daiyu looked back at them with a smile and said: " Why are you here too?" Baochai said with a smile, "Princess Beijing seems to love sister Lin very much. She is really lucky." Daiyu shook her head and smiled, "It's just a coincidence. I think the princess also likes Xue very much. Elder sister and third younger sister." Of the many famous ladies who were present just now, Baochai and Tanchun stood out.A dignified and generous, as expensive as a peony.A bright and moving, as gorgeous as a rose.It's just that Tanchun was a little younger after all, a little behind Baochai by two points.Baochai smiled, glared at Daiyu and said, "If I say something, will Sister Lin definitely want to pay me back?" Daiyu said with a shallow smile, "If Sister Bao doesn't say it, I won't say it either. .”

Baochai sat down beside Daiyu, looked at Daiyu and said, "I didn't feel it when I was by my side every day, but I don't think we see each other very much this year. Every time I see her, I feel that my sister is more beautiful again." The three of them also looked at Daiyu together, and Yingchun smiled and said: "Sister Bao, I don't think so, it really is so." Now Daiyu is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she has grown taller this year. , the brows and eyes are gradually opened, and gradually shed some of the childishness of the past. When you are quiet, you are like a delicate flower shining in the water, and when you move, you are like a weak willow supporting the wind.In the past, she would cry at every turn, always frowning slightly, and her eyes were full of worry, but now she seems to be a little stronger. Although she is still weak, she doesn't give people the feeling of being about to fall when the wind blows.Obviously, it is a bit more grand and noble of the scholarly family.Daiyu's bright eyes streamed, and she said angrily: "So you all thought I was an ugly girl before?" Xichun laughed quickly: "Sister Lin talks like this, how can we ugly girls live?"

Shi Xiangyun and Daiyu are not familiar with each other, they just met each other a few days ago, and Daiyu and Moyu left in a hurry the next day.Living in Jia's house these days, I often hear Jia's mother talking about Daiyu, and Baoyu often talks about Daiyu, thinking why sister Lin doesn't come to live with her.Seeing Daiyu like this, Xiangyun felt a little uncomfortable.He didn't say much, just sat and watched them.

While chatting with Sanchun and others, Daiyu casually looked at the water surface of the pond and watched the colorful koi emerging from the water to look for food from time to time.After chatting for a while, Yingchun and the others saw that Xiangyun was sitting on the side sullenly, so they turned to talk to her.After all, Xiangyun has just arrived at Jia's house, the visitor is a guest and they should not be neglected.Baochai looked at Daiyu's quiet face, and pondered for a while, with a touch of probing: "Sister Lin, do you know what the concubine wants to invite people to enjoy the flowers today?" Daiyu turned her head to look at her, and said "The concubine has always liked her daughter's family. There is no princess in the Beijing Palace, and it is common to invite some girls to play around. Sister Xue is overwhelmed." Meeting Daiyu's eyes, Baochai blushed.When Daiyu said this, she clearly knew about it, but she just didn't care.Hastily said: "Where am I so caring? It's just a casual question. Sister Lin doesn't like to walk with us this year, but she's a lot stranger." Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Daiyu is filial It’s not over yet, so it’s not easy to move around.”

Seeing Daiyu's behavior, Baochai felt a little anxious, but she also understood that Daiyu had changed a lot, and she could no longer be judged by the little girl she used to be in Jia's house.

Daiyu saw her hesitation and hesitation in her eyes, and said lightly: "Sister Xue has something to say, just say it." Baochai smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that Princess Beijing treats Sister Lin very well. Well, I'm afraid that we will really become sisters with Sister Lin in the future." Daiyu turned her head to look at the bi-color lotus leaves in the pond and said, "Sister An and I have a good relationship, so I just need her to call her sister." Chai looked at Daiyu with some hesitation, a little uncertain whether she meant what she said to King Jingjing or not.Even though the King of Beijing just came to greet the concubine, and didn't even look at the girls present, Baochai took a look at her chic, handsome, and overpowering appearance.At first I thought that Baoyu was an excellent person, but when he saw Wang Fang in Beijing, he knew that there are people beyond people and beyond.Compared with someone like Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong, Baoyu is far worse than ten million.Baochai felt a little jealous of Princess Beijing, and she didn't know how outstanding she was in appearance and talent, but because she had a good family background, she was the daughter of Duke An, so she married such a good husband.

"My sister is really lucky. Just now my sister happened to walk away and didn't see her. Then the King of Beijing Jing is indeed a handsome man in a million."

Daiyu frowned, and there was a bit of chill in her eyes. She looked at Baochai and said, "Sister Xue's words are wrong. It doesn't matter what happened to the King of Beijing, but it doesn't matter what happened to Daiyu. Sister Xue said so, but I think Sister An is very lucky." Baochai looked around and lowered her voice, and said with some sympathy: "Princess Beijing is indeed very lucky, but it's a pity... If that girl can come here in the future... If you join Princess Beijing, the child you will give birth to will be the future master of Prince Beijing's mansion, but it will not be half a point worse than Princess Beijing." Listening to Baochai's words, Daiyu felt extremely uncomfortable.Baochai was only two years older than herself, so it was a bit strange for her to say such words, which only made Daiyu feel as if she had never known Baochai before.But she didn't know that Baochai's father died young, and Aunt Xue brought up a son and a daughter.But Xue Pan is useless.Two years ago, the family came to the capital after a life lawsuit at home.Although the Xue family is one of the four major families in Jinling, and even the richest family in Jinling, it has gradually declined over the years and is far from what it used to be.Baochai was as ambitious as a man since she was a child, and always felt that she was no worse than her elder brother, and she only wanted to make progress to bring more glory to herself and the Xue family.This kind of thinking is not something that a boudoir girl like Daiyu who was born in a scholarly family can understand.
