Chapter 146 Mother
No matter what Hongjin thinks, let alone what others think, the fact that King Wujun recognized Daiyu as his daughter was finally spread, and it was rumored.
The king of Wujun recognized the daughter, and he invited Qin Tianjian to see the day with great fanfare, so he naturally wanted to feast the guests.
Naturally, Jia Fu also received the invitation, and Mrs. Jia took the invitation sent by Wujun Wangfu, and she smiled like a flower. The day of Qin Tianjian's selection was on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, and there were still nearly two months before now, and Mrs. Jia had already begun to choose gifts.
Jia Yu's family is naturally very happy, Wang Xifeng hugged Sister Qiao, who had just turned 100 days, and after hearing the news, she was also smiling, full of joy to choose fabrics, cut new clothes and wear them on the day of the banquet. Even Yingchun, who was waiting to be married at home, also prepared a gift with his own hands and asked Mrs. Xing to bring it at that time.
But not everyone in Jia is so happy. For example, Mrs. Wang! Mrs. Wang didn't have to mention the contradictions in her heart at this time, her daughter was in the palace, but there had been no news for many years, and the relationship between the queen mother and the Wujun Palace, it was needless to say.
At this time, Daiyu recognized Princess Wujun as her stepmother, maybe she could help her Yuanchun in the future, but thinking that Daiyu was Jia Min's daughter, especially Mrs. Jia still wanted Baoyu to marry Daiyu as her wife, so Mrs. Wang didn't mention how awkward it was in her heart.
And Baoyu heard that Daiyu wanted to recognize the royal family as her righteous parents, and she was also very dissatisfied in her heart, in Baoyu's words: "Our girl is so good, why do you want to do that thing of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix?" β
After seeing the grandeur of Princess Wujun, for Daiyu to recognize such a person as a stepmother, Tanchun and Baochai have indescribable envy.
Especially Baochai, the original experience is still vivid, although he has never expressed it after coming back, but the resentment in his heart cannot be faked. Now that she heard that such a person wanted to recognize Daiyu as a righteous daughter, Baochai suddenly felt very unfair in her heart, but her face was not revealed at all, and she even followed the congratulatory gift to Daiyu.
The most calm thing in the whole Jiafu is the cold Xichun, when the painting and Xichun talked about it, Xichun smiled slightly and said: "It just so happened that I painted a koi fish before, so I sent it as a congratulatory gift." Seeing this, he hesitated and persuaded: "Girl, will it be too simple?" Xichun glanced at the painting lightly and said, "Do as I say." β
Xichun secretly said in her heart: Is Sister Lin such a layman? Besides, I don't cling to anything, it's just that sisters interact with each other, so why bother being so naughty. Thinking about it, I remembered the scene when Daiyu used to paint with her, saying that they were painting together, but in fact it was Daiyu who was teaching her painting skills. I couldn't help but smile on my lips.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Daiyu was taken to the county palace by the princess of Wujun in advance. The specifications and style of the palace are naturally not comparable to ordinary people, and Daiyu is also full of expectations at this time, after all, she has only seen Prince Gong's Mansion and the Forbidden City in her previous life...... Many places are still sealed.
Wanyu is a good guide, leading Daiyu to take a good walk, and instructed as she walked: "This is also my sister's home in the future, but you have to look carefully and remember it clearly." The courtyard prepared for you by my mother is very close to me, so it will be more convenient for us to come and go in the future. β
Saying that, the two came to the edge of a plum forest, Wan Yu pointed to the courtyard on the other side and said, "This is the plum fragrance garden prepared for my sister, and my yard is behind this plum forest." Although Daiyu didn't speak, she looked at this fiery cloud like Merlin, and her eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
Entering the courtyard, it is not the same as Jiafu, Huangfu, and even Linfu. In the middle is a row of three sunny main houses, and there are many peach and pear trees planted on the left and right, and only branches are left at this time.
Entering from the main room, there is a red plum with a red plum in the plum bottle on the case of Ma Yuan, one of the four masters of the Southern Song Dynasty. The one-color sour branch wood tables and chairs are arranged in accordance with Daiyu's preferences.
From the back door of the main hall, the left and right sides of the verandah are connected to the east and west wings, but in the middle is a two-story small building, called: "Warm Cloud Pavilion".
Wanyu pointed to Nuanyun Pavilion and said: "This is the embroidery building specially selected by the mother concubine for you, most of the north does not like this, but the girls in our house live in the embroidery building." β
Daiyu looked at the two-story eaves antler tower in front of her, her eyes were also shining, she had always wanted such a small building before, but now it is a dream come true! couldn't help but pull Wanyu and smiled: "Thank you, Sister Wan!" β
Wanyu saw Daiyu's eyebrows crooked when she smiled, and couldn't help but nod her forehead and said, "Thank me for what?" I didn't prepare it for you. He said with a smile: "You still have to think about what to use to honor your mother." β
Walking into the Nuanyun Pavilion, the first floor is divided into three rooms by the embroidered screen. On the front is a peacock peony picture, and on the left and right sides are magpies and butterflies wearing flowers. All of them are rich and bright. It is in stark contrast to the goose yellow and green veil in the house. In the middle is a round sandalwood table with six drum stools.
Behind the magpie screen is an Arhat bed near the window. Covered with a thick pink cushion. The red lead pillow is backrested, and there is a small kang table in the middle. In front of the Luohan bed, there is a one-color carved hibiscus footrest. You can see that this is the place where you can talk and laugh.
Baidie wears a flower screen behind a chaise longue covered with fox skin against the wall. The plum blossom small table is placed on the side, in front of which is the copper tire cloisonnΓ© enamel three-legged two-ear smoker, at this time the crane beak standing at the top is rising a thin smoke, exuding a faint fragrance. A pot of jade jade trees on the twig trellis is particularly eye-catching.
Turning the peacock peony screen, there is a wooden staircase connecting to the second floor. The handrails of the stairs are carved with wishful auspicious clouds. The staircase is covered with velvet felt, and it is very soft to walk on it.
On the second floor, I saw that there was a thousand-worker stepping bed on the west side, painted with gold and inlaid treasures. The dressing table is placed not far from the bed in the south window. The large mercury dressing mirror is inlaid behind the Dongyang wood carving screen. On the east side, there is a large desk with three drawers inlaid with a flying dragon lotus pattern, and a three-screen chair with the same suit in front of the table.
The north wall is leaned against a row of wenge top chest wardrobes and a multi-treasure cabinet, separated by a staircase. The Duobao Pavilion is full of all kinds of treasured ornaments. In front of Duobaoge, a flat-headed painting of sour branch wood carving was specially placed. At the foot of the painting case is a large pastel figure urn with several picture scrolls inserted in it.
The whole floor is transparent and bright, and there is no partition or obstruction. The pink and white walls are complemented by red-lacquered mullioned windows, and the windows are pasted with silver and red sirle. Pushing the window and looking out, to the east was Merlin sandwiched between two small buildings, Wanyu pointed to the small building and said: "See, that's my yard, my sister has nothing to do, but I have to come and walk more." β
Daiyu looked at Mei Hualin who was like smoke and mist, and said with a smile: "Even if you don't have time, you are willing to sit with your sister, or paint and enjoy flowers with your sister in this plum forest, play the piano and cook tea, and it is also very beautiful to laugh and talk." Wanyu smiled when she heard this: "My sister said that it is okay, but she is not allowed to go back." β
To the west is an artificial lake, and even though it is winter, it is also rippling. At this time, the weeping willows have not yet pulled their leaves, only the bare branches are swaying in the wind, but the pine and red-barked spruce are still green and hugging the lakeside verandah. In the middle of the verandah there are three chambers, which divide the verandah into five sections.
From the shore, a nine-curved bridge was built to connect a small pavilion in the center of the lake. Listening to Wanyu said: "I can't see it at this time, the pavilion is good in summer, and there are lotus flowers planted around, no worse than those in your house, but the residual lotus has been collected at this time." β
After hearing this, Daiyu regretted and said: "It's a waste, I like that kind of artistic conception where I can listen to the sound of the rain." Wanyu patted the back of Daiyu's hand angrily, she really didn't stay behind, and she became red on the spot!
Wanyu reprimanded in a low voice with a straight face: "Since you call me sister, listen to it!" A good little girl, what kind of residual lotus artistic conception do you want? Now is the year of the flowers! Seeing Wanyu's very serious appearance, Daiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, took Wanyu's arm and said, "My good sister, I remember!" So Wan Yu Fang smiled.
Just as she was about to say something, the maid came to report that the princess had laid down refreshments and asked her to go. Daiyu followed Wanyu to the princess's main courtyard.
The main courtyard of the princess is naturally different from other places, the main house of the seven large bays is built on a seven-story staircase, the top of the heavy eaves rest on the top of the hill is covered with glazed tiles, the four corners of the cornices have animal heads, and the one-color red pillar frame forms a corridor between the walls of the house.
Daiyu looked at it, although it was inferior to the Forbidden City in her memory, it was not far behind. This can't be called a house anymore, Daiyu thinks that this should be called a temple. Wearing a pink Confucian shirt, a green Luo skirt, and a light vermicelli around her waist, the eight maids and the two grandmothers stood outside the door.
Seeing Daiyu and Wanyu walking up the stairs, the maid squatted in place to salute, and the grandmother walked forward quickly and saluted: "The county lord and the girl are here, and the princess has been waiting for a long time." Without entering, he led Wanyu and Daiyu along the corridor to the east.
After turning the seven main rooms, there are two ear rooms, from the ear room in, through a hall, and a small courtyard, Wan Yu explained with a smile: "This is the mother's favorite courtyard, as for why, I won't say it for the time being, you can go in and take a look." It's just that I didn't expect that the concubine would hold a banquet here to catch you up. After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.
Daiyu looked up at the courtyard gate, there was neither a plaque nor a couplet, and her heart couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this courtyard.
Push open the courtyard door, and there is a koi play lotus wall. Turn the wall, surrounded by Xiangfei bamboo, there is neither a wing room nor a verandah, only three main rooms in the middle.
When the grandmother saw Wanyu and Daiyu enter the courtyard, she bowed down and withdrew, and two maidservants who were dressed the same as the maids she had seen before came up, bowed down and saluted Wanyu and Daiyu before gently lifting the brocade curtain on the door and letting Daiyu and the two in.
As soon as she entered the house, Daiyu was stunned! There are no three rooms in it, just a large room, and the floor is covered with white marble! On the right hand side of the door, there are seven screens of flowers, birds, and rosewood. I can't see what's behind it. On the left is a translucent double-embroidered peony screen. Daiyu can just take a picture and see the steaming big bath behind her!
At this time, the princess sat at a large round table with eight treasures of red sandalwood, eating tea leisurely, looking at Daiyu's surprised appearance, with a faint smug in her eyes, and a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Yu'er has seen the princess." The princess was not happy when she heard this, and put down the teacup in her hand before saying, "What is Yu'er's name?" Wanyu sneered and said to Daiyu: "Why don't you call the mother concubine?" Daiyu blushed and said, "Yu'er asks for peace to the concubine." (To be continued.) )
