Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 305
The fourth prince came and went in a hurry, with only a few words, the outing trip of Daiyu and his party quietly changed...

Ever since Daiyu spoke to the fourth prince, Wang Xifeng has been looking at Daiyu, her eyes full of questions.I only know that Daiyu has a good relationship with the queen mother and daughter, and now it is... But after seeing the fourth prince leave, Daiyu frowned slightly, after the flash of impatience in her eyes, she suppressed all the doubts in her heart .

However, Wang Xifeng didn't know that besides Miaoyu and Xichun who had been talking happily in the back carriage, Tanchun's thoughts had already been running away with the sound of "dada" that was gradually going away, He didn't even realize that Shi Xiangyun, who was sitting next to him, was looking at him with a strange look...

Standing on the top of the mountain, Xichun and Miaoyu can still enjoy the picturesque scenery below the mountain with great interest. After all, peach blossoms, red apricots and white flowers are really beautiful, especially the large fruit forest in front of Daiyu Zhuangzi, most of them are in bloom.

Daiyu was busy arranging people to build a shed, and when burying pots for fishing, Shi Xiangyun, who was restless, insisted on fishing by the spring pool together—fishing, or playing with water... Although Wang Xifeng was puzzled, she knew that it was not When I asked about it, I also calmed down and stayed with Shi Xiangyun on the edge of the spring pool. After all, the water and the fish are really different.

Although Tanchun was also standing beside Xichun and Miaoyu, he was looking at the direction where the four princes rode their horses down the mountain, and he couldn't stop looking, thinking about his own thoughts.

After simply using some fish porridge, and even roasting five or six small fish, the group of people, except Xichun and Miaoyu, lost all fun.As far as Xichun and Miaoyu are concerned, they can talk happily wherever they are, not just on the mountain.After watching the sunset, the group returned to Zhuangzi, washed up briefly, and went to rest early.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the sunlight shone through the window lattice into the room, Daiyu opened her eyes in a drowsy state. As soon as she sat up, Zhixuan led the little maid to bring water in.

Daiyu reached out to take the warm water from Zhixuan, drank a couple of gulps and asked, "Is everyone else up?" Zhixuan pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly, "I don't know if I was tired yesterday or what, at this moment Only Grandma Lian and Ms. Miaoyu got up, and everyone else is still asleep." After hearing this, Daiyu didn't say anything, nodded, washed up and sat down in front of the dowry.

Because Aunt Xue was going to bring Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin to visit today, Zhixuan specially tied a bun for Daiyu, but Daiyu didn't ask Zhixuan to use the extra hairpin for her, and only picked a gold-encrusted jade hairpin. Comb, paired with two light pink and light yellow palace flowers, and the rest of the hair is scattered on the back without further decoration.

Zhixuan saw from Daiyu's request that Daiyu didn't want to show too much in front of Xue's family, so she followed Daiyu's thoughts and found for Daiyu an emerald green shirt with narrow sleeves embroidered with scattered bamboo leaves.The oily green bamboo leaves are bordered with gold silk, and she wears a dark green flowered horse-face skirt and a red gold collar, which is neither impolite nor ostentatious.

After tidying up, Daiyu went to the flower hall to have breakfast with everyone, but found that Miaoyu and Wang Xifeng were still in their usual attire, but they had all changed into new clothes.Especially Shi Xiangyun's crimson body is particularly eye-catching when viewed from a distance.

Even Xichun, who was very cold in the past, followed Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun, and changed into that rare red dress.

Xue Baoqin, who came with Aunt Xue for the first time, saw the peach red and apricot white along the way and the patches of fresh green in the distant fields, and felt refreshed. He was very envious and said: "If I can have such a Zhuangzi in the future, how wonderful it would be!"

Xue Baochai looked back at Xue Baoqin and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to live in Zhuangzi soon? If you take care of it, it will be a beautiful place in the future." After speaking, she raised her eyebrows and smiled at Xue Baoqin.

Today's Xue Baochai looks very different from when she was in Jia's mansion in the past, although she still has the silver plate face and watery almond eyes, even compared to the past, she is more beautiful and charming with age.But it is more delicate and pretty than before, and it looks a lot more lively.

Xue Baoqin secretly looked at the scenery outside the carriage with a yearning look on her face, but when she suddenly heard Xue Baochai's meaningful words, she couldn't help but blushed slightly, and turned around to argue, but happened to see Xue Baochai's With a half-smile expression, he became even more ashamed and annoyed, and said angrily: "My sister is actually making fun of me like this, let's see how I deal with you!"

As she was talking, she reached out her hand to squeak Xue Baochai in the carriage, but Aunt Xue stopped her with a smile when she saw it, and said, "Stop making trouble, there is no need to make people laugh. Although we are merchants, we are also educated and reasonable people, we must not lose It's a gift."

Aunt Xue was not so much lamenting that she was a family of merchants as she was reminding Xue Baochai that every time Aunt Xue mentioned it, Baochai felt a dull pain in her heart, but she didn't know how to resolve it. I'm down, I only hope for myself in the future...

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai looked at Xue Baoqin who was quiet because of Aunt Xue's words, and couldn't help feeling deeply.

Yingchun, who is the same age as me, is already married, and I heard that she will be a mother, and her young cousin is now married, but... Thinking of this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, but she didn't want to show any expression , causing Aunt Xue to worry.

When Xue Baochai managed to restrain his thoughts, the carriage had already bypassed the village gate, entered through the east gate, and stopped directly in front of Eryi gate.

The Zhuangzi outside the city cannot be compared with the houses in the city. It is said to be the Eryi Gate, but in fact it is a moon gate connected to the back house. Since Daiyu is not in the Zhuangzi on weekdays, it is locked most of the time. The servants and gardeners who take care of the garden also go to the garden behind from the side corridor.

At this time, not only the Moon Gate opened, but when Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin got out of the carriage and came, Wang Xifeng accompanied Daiyu to welcome them out in person.

Daiyu didn't ignore Xue's family because it was a merchant's family, and even took the initiative to do a junior gift to Aunt Xue, which made Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai explain their gratitude.In particular, Aunt Xue looked at Daiyu with love in her eyes.Xue Baochai thought of the past, and felt that he was even ridiculous back then.Such a few people had a great time meeting each other.

Although Wang Xifeng and Aunt Xue had only met each other not long ago, Daiyu and Xue Baochai hadn't seen each other for a long time.Seeing her at this moment, Daiyu was taken aback.

Daiyu always knew that Xue Baochai didn't like those flowers the most, even those hairpins and hairpins, Xue Baochai didn't like them very much.

But today Daiyu discovered that Xue Baochai not only wore a red gold peony crown and a flower-topped hairpin, but also took off the golden lock she usually wears. The straight-sleeved shirt is also very bright.The rosy red butterfly skirt made the originally charming Xue Baochai even more charming.

After the four met each other, Aunt Xue introduced to Daiyu. Xue Baoqin, who was following behind Xue Baochai, saw that Xue Baoqin had a crush on Shi Xiangyun today. The same crimson shirt, compared with Shi Xiangyun's heroic spirit, was added. Kind of sweet.

Although Daiyu was amazed, she nodded and laughed, but she didn't say much, and led Aunt Xue directly to the flower hall in the main courtyard.

Not to mention that Daiyu was amazed by Xue Baoqin just now, even Xichun and Miaoyu, who were always indifferent, were also amazed to see Xue Baoqin at this time.Tanchun laughed directly and said: "Usually I only said that Sister Bao and Sister Lin are already stunning figures, but now seeing this Second Miss Xue, I can't find any words to describe it."

No sooner had Tanchun finished speaking, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu said in unison: "What kind of beauty am I?"

Aunt Xue smiled happily and said, "I don't think your sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, but now you are more and more in touch with each other." Wang Xifeng originally got closer to the Xue family because of Daiyu's advice, but now she heard what Aunt Xue said , then also smiled and said: "The two of them cherish each other, my aunt should be very happy, why does it sound so jealous?"

Aunt Xue also followed Wang Xifeng's words and said with a smile: "Aren't you just jealous?" Aunt Xue changed the subject and said, "Today was originally here to send wedding invitations. Chai'er's brother will marry a girl from Qianmen Langjiang's family early next month. On the same day, this girl Baoqin will also marry my adoptive son Liu Xianglian."

As soon as Aunt Xue finished speaking, Daiyu was startled. It was Daiyu's idea for Xue Pan to marry the general's daughter, but she never expected Xue Baoqin to marry Liu Xianglian!If I remember correctly, isn't Second Sister You and Third Sister You...

Before Daiyu could think clearly, Aunt Xue handed the invitation to Daiyu. Daiyu hurriedly collected her thoughts and took it with a smile. After seeing that the date was the eighth day of the next lunar month, she said with a smile: "Look at the date." It's pretty close."

As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, Aunt Xue laughed and said, "Isn't it? Let me tell you that I sent someone to take you to that mansion earlier, but Chai'er has to wait until now, saying that she wants to meet you."

Daiyu looked up at Xue Baochai and said with a smile: "I also miss Sister Bao very much, especially for Sister Bao's poems."

Hearing what Daiyu said, Xue Baoqin chuckled and said, "Sister also said that she missed Sister Lin's paintings very much, and said that if she couldn't cooperate with Sister Lin again, it would be a lifelong regret. It can be seen that the two of you are really like aunts. That said, it’s heartfelt.”

Shi Xiangyun heard Xue Baoqin's words, so he smiled and said: "What's the difficulty? Today, there are all people, and Sister Lin's garden is also very beautiful. Isn't it beautiful when we drink and paint in the garden, and compose poems and couplets?"

Wang Xifeng also nodded and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, my aunt and I will judge you!" Aunt Xue also nodded with a smile.Looking at the children and children in the room, there is an unspeakable feeling in my heart, and I can't help but think of those years in Jia's house.

But Daiyu looked at the invitation card in her hand at this time, and said with a smile: "Brother Xue welcomes the bride, I will not go." As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai couldn't help showing a trace of It's a pity, but I didn't persuade much.Not wanting to, Daiyu continued to laugh and said, "On the seventh day of the lunar new year, I'll go and add makeup to Sister Baoqin."

As soon as Daiyu said this, not to mention Aunt Xue, even Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin's eyes lit up.Although Xue Baoqin had no contact with Daiyu, and even called Daiyu "Sister Lin" with everyone, she was very clear about Daiyu's identity as the daughter of the Marquis Mansion and the head of the Wangfu County.

At this time, hearing Daiyu say that she would come to add makeup for herself, she couldn't help but show joy on her face.
