Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 30

Shui Cangming stroked his chin and said with a smile: "Which palace lady is this? It doesn't look like it. Concubine Ai, don't bully other little girls." Liu Guifei showed a faint smile on her cold face and said: "Can't a concubine bully a little girl? Let alone such a beautiful girl, the concubine really can't do anything to bully her. The girl from Sister Yuan's family is a talented girl. Let the emperor take a look." Put Baochai's words in the By Shui Cangming's side.No matter how nervous Shui Cangming stared at the two with cold eyes, he knew that his wife and son were unhappy.Rubbing the paper casually, he threw it out and smiled, "I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to look at these messy things? Why are the people in Concubine Yuan Gui's family so unruly? Is it a place where you can write poems and lyrics casually in the palace? Go on, and do as the prince says."

Baochai never thought that the emperor didn't even look at her, and hurriedly wanted to speak, but the eunuch who was guarding the side cleverly covered her mouth, and dragged her away holding the piano.Offending His Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Liu Gui was punished by the Emperor himself.It seems that it is necessary to instruct the people in the Punishment Department to be careful not to itch the portrait and make His Highness the Crown Prince unhappy.

In a relatively hidden place in the imperial garden, Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang watched Baochai and Baoqin being dragged to the Punishment Department.Yuan Chun said calmly: "Mother, let's go back." Mrs. Wang said puzzledly: "Why don't you go and beg the emperor?" It will also cause the emperor's displeasure, is it worth it?" She is pregnant now and the emperor will not do anything to her, but when the emperor is displeased, he will usually leave you behind.For women in the palace, falling out of favor is more serious than being beaten.

Mrs. Wang was still a little hesitant. After all, Baochai was someone she valued, and she didn't look good after being beaten in the palace and returned.Yuan Chun said lightly: "Mother, Baochai's identity can only be a concubine, and a concubine doesn't need face."

Baochai's exuberant and expectant trip to the palace can only end in a very miserable ending.Not only did Concubine Yuan Gui not look very good when she left.When he returned to Jia's house, he was ashamed and ashamed by the surprised eyes.Jia Mu just gave a few words of comfort and asked people to send her back to rest.Yingchun was expressionless, Xichun sneered, Tanchun looked at Baochai's layers of dresses stained red with blood, but felt the most complicated one in his heart.Because Baochai was able to follow Mrs. Wang into the palace, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know whether she was happy or sad when she saw Baochai's miserable appearance.Probably the only ones who are really worried about Baochai are Xiangyun and Baoyu.

Baochai was seriously injured.The people of the Punishment Department in the palace are responsible for punishing the palace people.Whether it takes a hundred boards to go down and the skin is bruised, but after two days of raising it, you can get up and continue working, or the slightest injury is gone. After ten and a half months, the person will suffer serious internal injuries. It depends on the people above.But Baochai is a bit more unlucky, because she has both.The bruises were for Concubine Yuan Gui, who felt that her little cousin and future brother's concubine needed a lesson.Look at the imperial concubine Yuan, she is bruised and scarred, but she can definitely walk back by herself.The internal injury was seen by His Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Liu Gui.So after a certain unscrupulous little prince received a report from the little eunuch of the Punishment Department, he happily raised a fox-like smile and rewarded him with 100 taels of silver.

Because it is still in that very unspeakable place, naturally I can't invite a doctor to see it.There are naturally female doctors in this world, but they are definitely not something that a power like the Jia family can find casually.So I could only prescribe some painkillers to wipe her casually, and then lay down on the bed to rest.When Aunt Xue heard about Baochai's hand, she hurriedly put aside her family affairs and her son, who kept causing trouble, and rushed over, crying with snot and tears so miserable.

In contrast, Mrs. Wang was in a much better mood. Although Baochai's words made her feel a little embarrassed, what Yuan Chun said was right after all.She will rely heavily on Baochai in the future, but Baoyu's ears are soft for a daughter-in-law who is too honorable. If she can hold her back, maybe even her mother-in-law can't cure her.So before entering the door, Baochai still needs to be suppressed.On the other hand, Mrs. Wang was naturally eager to read Yuan Chun's letter to Jia's mother. After reading it, Jia's mother's face was gloomy, but she did not categorically reject Mrs. Wang's heart, knowing that there was still room for discussion.Looking at Jiamu's hospitality, she said: "The old lady also knows that Baoyu will be the pillar of our family in the future. Although the eldest girl is a good girl, there is no one to help her at home now. She will not be able to help Baoyu in her official career in the future." Busy. She is an orphan who marries into someone else's family, but she also has to be angry. In our house, there is an old lady protecting her. Who dares to give her? What's more... the meaning of the imperial concubine is not easy to refute, after all, our family still needs Relying on the imperial concubine and the little prince..."

Jia Mu's expression gradually became a little looser, and she just said: "Yu'er is my granddaughter after all, how can I have the heart to let her be a concubine?"

Mrs. Wang laughed and said: "In our family, the old lady still has the final say. Baoyu and the eldest girl have a good relationship. Whoever dares to bully the eldest girl, I'm afraid that even if the main room enters the door in the future, she will be given some points."

"This..." Jia Mu pondered, what Jia Mu had always hoped for was to have Daiyu and Baoyu together.In the past, the two Yu'er had a good relationship, and Lin Ruhai is still alive, so they can be regarded as a good match.But now, even if she wholeheartedly defends Daiyu and wants Daiyu to be Baoyu's official wife, she still has to consider Yuanchun's situation in the palace.Once Yuan Chun gave birth to a prince, she would definitely need the support and support of her natal family even more. Their Jia family does not have much influence in the court now, so it is bound to marry with a more powerful family.In fact, people are like this, the opportunity to reach the sky in one step is in front of them, even if they know that there is only a [-]% chance, they can't help but try it.What's more, the members of the Jia family never thought that they had only a [-]% chance.Even if she can't compare with the crown prince, at least Yuan Chun, as the only concubine in the harem, won't be too far behind.

"Forget it... just do as you said. Later, I will pick a few good things from my room and send them to Yu'er, as a dowry."

Although Mrs. Wang was jealous, she thought that after Daiyu entered the door, she still had the final say, so she agreed and went to Sister Feng to discuss it.

Lin House.

Daiyu sat on the first seat, her usual peaceful face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.He looked at the person in front of him coldly.Seeing her watching, Sister Feng groaned inwardly, breaking out in cold sweat intermittently.I kept complaining in my heart that Mrs. Wang loved to make troubles and wanted to withdraw her to be a villain.Sister Feng looked at Daiyu, who had finally withdrawn her eyes and lowered her head to drink tea, and said with a smile: "We also know that this matter has wronged Sister Lin, but... But, the wife and the old lady are also for the sake of my sister. There is an old lady in Jia's house who protects you. Now, no one dares to look at her younger sister, Baoyu and her younger sister grew up together, right?" Wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, Sister Feng looked at Daiyu wondering what was going on in her heart. I only know that today's matter may not be easy to handle.

When Sister Feng had nothing to say, Daiyu raised her head and glanced at the various precious antiques in the hands of the maids and women who followed Sister Feng, and said indifferently: "This matter... the old lady also agrees?"

Sister Feng apologized and said with a smile: "Without the old lady's consent, who would dare to mention it to my sister? The old lady loved my sister and asked us to bring them, saying that they were for her."

"It's smashed." Daiyu put down her teacup, and said coldly, "Go to the shopkeeper of the antique shop and come over to estimate the price, and then fold the silver and ask Second Grandma Lian to take it back."

"Yes!" Behind Daiyu, Hong Lian and the others turned dark with anger.Hearing Daiyu's words, they immediately went forward and pulled the gift box together. Jasper, jewelry, pearls and so on were smashed and torn, and ruined.The things inside the gold and silver were also pinched badly by the martial arts red lotus, and the two white jade ruyis were also smashed to pieces.Sister Feng was overwhelmed by the sudden situation, "Sister Lin, what are you..." Daiyu said, "Second sister-in-law also remembers that Daiyu's surname is Lin. Marriage with the surname Lin doesn't need to be decided by the surname Jia."

"Sister said this, the old lady is your grandmother. She is also afraid that you, a girl, will go to other people's homes to suffer." Daiyu sneered, "The Jia family's rules are really different. It's a pity My Lin family doesn't say that. The ancestors of my Lin family were poor and destitute, but they didn't have a daughter to be a concubine. Daiyu is not talented, and she dared not humiliate her ancestors. Second sister-in-law Lian, please go back, it's useless to talk more."

Sister Feng sighed softly, with a bitter face, how could she want to swim in this muddy water?She took out a letter from her sleeve and said: "Sister, this matter is actually the intention of the imperial concubine in the palace. There is nothing we can do about it." Honglian took the letter and opened it in front of Daiyu. There were only a few words on it. I only said that Baoyu was about the same age. When I heard about Uncle Lin's younger sister, she married her as a concubine for Baoyu.

Daiyu sneered again and again, only feeling a dull pain in her chest.Fortunately, the bead chain hanging on the wrist continuously transmitted heat, which relieved the dull pain a little.He stretched out his hand to pull the letter, and it was torn into pieces in a blink of an eye. He waved his hand and looked at Sister Feng coldly and said, "I don't know, Lin Daiyu's life is decided by a piece of paper!"

"Sister Lin! You...that's the handwriting of Concubine Yuan!" Sister Feng turned pale with fright.Daiyu said lightly: "If the imperial concubine Yuan has the ability to issue a marriage edict, she might as well invent an edict. I, Lin Daiyu, will give my life to your Jia family. This kind of thing...I'm sorry, I don't know what it is. Lian's second sister-in-law, please." Hong Lian walked up to Sister Feng and said with a smile: "Lian's second grandma, please. Don't worry, we will take the gift list and those things for valuation, and the bank notes should be ready in a while, so let's go together Take it back." Several maids pulled and pushed the group of people out of the door, and Sister Feng could only look at the box of 5 taels of silver bills in her hand in a daze.
