Chapter 50
Shilipo is also the same as last year, the sea of flowers is colorful, and tourists are weaving.
Princess Yongjia came early, occupies a good place, is a small hillside, just look around the scenery and is not bothered by tourists. The maids had already cleaned up their resting place, put on all kinds of pastries and wine, An Le and his brother Lu Hongzheng were talking something, and Lu Hong turned his head in annoyance and ignored her. Princess Yongjia only smiled and watched her children play.
"Celestial Princess, Prince Chun and the princess are here."
"Come here, please." The eldest princess summoned her children.
Getting out of the carriage, Lin Qingyun asked Bailing to greet Daiyu while helping Tu Yan. Since the eldest princess chose a small hill, the carriage could only be parked underneath, and they had to go up on foot. Tu Yan is weak in the end, even if he uses golden lotus seeds, he can't raise them well day and night, you must know that Tu Yan's physical condition at the beginning can be several times better than Daiyu's strict zhΓ²ng, at least Daiyu doesn't need golden lotus seeds to spend a few more years to raise well, but it's difficult to break the roots, but Tu Yan is different, it's like a big tree has been destroyed by insects, and there is no magic medicine that can bring the dead back to life.
Tu Yan half leaned on her, and did not let Father-in-law Le help him, and walked slowly up the slope without hurry.
Although there were no stone steps on this small hillside, the weather was good lately, and the princess had ordered someone to ram the uphill road into a smooth earth step, and she walked steadily. Lin Qingyun asked the purple cuckoo snow goose to help Daiyu go first, she and Tu Yan walked while enjoying the scenery, and the laughter of the women could be heard in the distance, and occasionally colorful clothes floated through the flower forest.
When he reached the hillside, it was just a cup of tea for ordinary people, and it took three times as long in vain, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, but his heart was happy. Looking into the distance, the tide of flowers fluctuates, the breeze is gentle, and the fragrance floats, as if all the fatigue on the body has dissipated.
Lin Qingyun didn't dare to be careless, wiped all the sweat on his head with a handkerchief, and took the health tea prepared by the eldest princess and handed it to him. This health tea is a prescription given by the imperial doctor in the palace, specially designed to regulate Tu Yan's body, there are eight ingredients such as wolfberry, red date slices, astragalus, etc., the tea soup boiled out is a little muddy, you need to take a fine gauze net to consider again, the color of the tea soup is bright red, with a faint indescribable fragrance, but the taste is bitter first and then sweet.
Seeing that he drank a few sips, he asked, "Are you sweating?" β
"It's a little hot." Tu Yan knew that if he really sweated, he would not be able to blow the wind, and he would not dare to be careless.
Lin Qingyun raised his hand to probe his collar, but fortunately, the surface of his skin was hot, but he did not sweat. turned around and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Daiyu, but saw that she blocked her face with a handkerchief, turned around and avoided with An Le. was stunned, and then realized that his actions just now were a little out of line, and the two little girls Daiyu and An Le were ashamed.
Sure enough, looking left and right, the egret and red silk were also standing with their heads down, looking at their noses and noses.
looked at Tu Yan again, and was full of jokes about it.
Lin Qingyun was a little uncomfortable, but when he saw him like this, he was calm and unconvinced: "You and I are husband and wife, what's the matter?" She just touched the root of Tu Yan's neck, but didn't touch his back, how could she react as if she was a disciple.
Tu Yan couldn't help laughing, rubbed her angry face twice, and took her hand and walked towards Princess Yongjia. Despite the quips in Celestia's eyes, he remained as calm as ever: "Big sister has found a good place." β
"The place is good, but suddenly I feel like an eyesore." The eldest princess was also relieved to see that their husband and wife had a very good relationship. Counting that next year, Lin Qingyun will be able to round the house, according to them, I am afraid that there will be good news the year after tomorrow.
Lu Hong on the side said, "Uncle, I have something to tell you." β
The eldest princess smiled and waved her hand: "You all go separately, I've already walked around, and I'm tired, so I won't mess with you." After speaking, he walked straight to the chair on the side, sat there drinking tea and enjoying the scenery, and there was a maid standing next to him reading, which was very comfortable.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyun said, "I'll go to find An Le and my sister." β
I heard the sound of An Le laughing from a distance, followed the sound to look for it, and saw An Le and the two maids playing, tossing the peach petals on the ground. Lin Qingyun couldn't help laughing: "It's too naughty, I don't know how many peaches I will bear this year when I get rid of so many flowers." β
"Hello aunt." An Le hurriedly stood up, patted off the petals on her body and came forward to salute, and then held her hand and smiled closely: "My aunt hasn't played with me for a while, and now that the spring is just right, why don't you compose poems in the society?" I have the heart to invite a club, but I am afraid that there will be too many people to rob me, and it will not be my turn. β
"This kind of thing has to take the lead, you're late, wait for the next time." Lin Qingyun looked around, didn't see Daiyu, and asked her, "Where is my sister?" β
"I went down the hillside over there, and there was a stream below, and Aunt Lin said she wanted to see the fish." An Le is only one year younger than Daiyu, but he is one generation lower than Daiyu, and the two of them are usually good, so An Le calls Daiyu an aunt in front of the elders, and calls her sister when she plays in private. Lin Qingyun is the righteous daughter of the Lin family, and the eldest princess and Tu Yan are siblings, so An Le will call Daiyu Aunt Lin, which is both respect and closeness to Lin Qingyun. An Le asked her again: "Who became the head of the society in March?" Why didn't I hear about it, could it be that I forgot to invite me? β
"Who else could it be, it's your Aunt Lin's club, which happens to be the Peach Blossom Club. She just told me today that she didn't have time to write a post, and you will receive the post two days after tomorrow at the latest, and you will not be able to forget you. Saying that, let the maids look at Anle, she went down the hillside to look for Daiyu, and wanted to ask Daiyu if she had something to say.
Turning a few peach trees, the flourishing peach blossoms were on the shoulders, and at a glance, I saw Daiyu standing under the hillside in a purple smoke skirt.
Before he could get closer, he could hear Daiyu reciting the verses in his mouth: "...... The heavenly machine burned through the mandarin duck brocade, and the spring was ready to wake up and move the mountain pillow. The maid came into the golden basin, and the shadow of the fragrant spring was dipped in rouge and cold. Rouge is bright and similar, the color of the flower is the tears of people, if the tears of people are compared to peach blossoms, the tears are self-effacing and the flowers are flattering. Tears are easy to dry, tears are dry, and spring flowers are haggard. The haggard flowers cover the haggard people, and the flowers fly and the people are tired and easy to dusk. A sound of Du Yuchun is gone, and the lonely curtain is empty and the moon is scarred! β
Peach Blossom Poem!
Lin Qingyun paused, his eyes were complicated, and he only waited for Daiyu to finish reading and began to pick up the petals and bury flowers, and then walked towards Daiyu. "What poem did my sister just read? It sounds sad and sad. β
Daiyu was caught off guard when she came over, knowing that Fang Cai's poem had been heard by her, and her face turned red: "It's just a random recitation." Seeing that there seemed to be worry in her eyes, she explained: "I read this book two days ago, and there is a young lady in it who died at a young age, and her life was bumpy, which is really pitiful. Thinking of the fact that there have been many women with a thin life, I don't feel a lot of emotion, if it was my father...... Xu thought too much, and when I saw this peach blossom today, I inexplicably made this poem. Sister don't worry, I'm fine now, and I won't do such sad words in the future. β
"It's nothing if you do it, so many poets have done boudoir palace grievances in ancient times, is it possible that they are all women, and they have all gone through those bitterness and despair? As long as you don't get caught up in it. Lin Qingyun didn't ask much when she saw the handkerchief bag in her hand, but just asked her, "Have you been to Jia's house these days?" β
"I went there at the end of last month, and my grandmother took me to visit the garden. What does my sister want to ask? β
"The day before yesterday, the palace of Tianding County added a full moon banquet for my son-in-law, and I also went to the banquet. During the banquet, I met Mrs. Baolinghou, and others asked her why she didn't see the eldest girl in the house, and said that she wanted to be a matchmaker for the eldest girl. Mrs. Baoling Hou replied that the eldest girl had a wind last night, and she was a little uncomfortable, so it was inconvenient to go out, and said that the eldest girl's relatives had already been decided by their Hou Ye. β
The Marquis of Bowling is Shi Ding, and the title inherited was originally his eldest brother's, and the eldest girl is his brother's daughter Shi Xiangyun.
Daiyu's eyes were full of surprise: "Sister Yun is married?" But I have never heard of it. β
"You didn't listen carefully, what Mrs. Shi Hou said was 'Master Hou has an idea', not that she has already made up her mind." In the original work, Xiangyun was also a family affair during this time, could it be that he was still married to the Wei family? I don't know if it's good or not, but Shi Xiangyun married Wei Ruolan, and in the end she was indeed widowed, and others didn't say that her life was hard, but that she had a hard life.
Daiyu frowned and said: "When I went back to Jia's house, my grandmother also said that I wanted to take Xiangyun to live there, so it can be seen that my grandmother didn't know about Xiangyun's marriage." It's just that the two are somewhat interesting, and they haven't been revealed yet. Even if Sister Yun is the same age as me, it's not too early to start seeing each other at the age of twelve, but you and I both know my grandmother's thoughts, and if I know about it, I don't know what to do. β
Lin Qingyun said: "How can I see that Shi Hou has not reached a consensus with the old lady? β
Although the Jia family is not as prosperous as when Jia Daishan was good, but now it has just come out of the mother, and there is a grand event of provincial relatives in front of him, as one of the old four kings and eight princes, including the love of Jia's mother, the Shi family does not necessarily look down on it. In fact, these old nobles know each other, and no one should look down on anyone, even the most beautiful Wang Ziteng is inseparable from the support of several others. Moreover, Shi Xiangyun is not Shi Ding's daughter in the end, and he has not necessarily ended up taking care of him for so many years, but I am afraid that he will also want to find a family to send Shi Xiangyun out earlier. If you really marry the Jia family, the Jia family is still the first in the Guogong Mansion, and it is an old relative, Baoyu is the most painful grandchild of Jia's mother, even if she doesn't like to study, but most of the sons and brothers of the family come over like this, Baoyu is nothing, and the two are childhood sweethearts, and Baoyu is a gentle character, only on the outside of the look, he really matches Shi Xiangyun.
The episode on Xue Baochai's birthday, I was afraid that Mother Jia would annoy Mrs. Wang, and she was on guard against Mrs. Wang's bad moves, and it was estimated that she would draw her salary from the bottom of the kettle. Whether Jia Zheng is really pedantic or not, filial piety is true, not to mention that he married the Shi family and did not fall into the lintel, Jia Zheng is still an understanding person inside, and after weighing, he must listen to Jia's mother. As a result, Mrs. Wang was unable to be the master of Baoyu's marriage, although Jia Yuanchun could help, but she was grounded by Jia's mother and could not go out.
Daiyu listened to her analysis and was stunned for a moment: "What does my sister mean...... My grandmother has already made up my mind with the historian? β
"I don't dare to say death, just guess. Although the old lady is now old and doesn't care about anything, it is said that when she was young, she was also vigorous and resolute, and she was accustomed to means, and she hurt her the most than Baoyu, how could she not plan for Baoyu? Even if there is an old lady among them who is selfish, but to be honest, I also think that this is a good family, Jia Baoyu and Miss Shi have had a love relationship since childhood, except for their younger sister, they have the strongest affection. Besides, although Miss Shi is the daughter of the Houmen, she knows how to do it inside, and some people believe in numerology, so she may not be picky, but it is better to be in the Jia family, so the sisters are familiar with it, the old lady is older, and she can protect her for a few more years, that is, in the future, she still has two uncles of the Hou. Lin Qingyun's words are also for the good.
Shi Xiangyun is stronger than Daiyu in the original book, no matter who she goes to, she will not be harsh in the face of her two uncles, provided that she manages the relationship with her uncle's family well. For Baoyu's relatives, whether it is Xiangyun or Baochai in the end, they are worthy of Baoyu based on their character alone, but everyone is safe and secure after they have settled down early.
Daiyu sighed and said nothing.
"Auntie, Aunt Lin, what are you talking about? But discuss the next post of the Poetry Society? An Le trotted down the hillside with a smile, his face was red because of the crazy play all the way, his forehead was sweaty, and he was wiping it with a handkerchief.
"Run slowly, beware of falling." Since Lin Qingyun arrived here, it was the first time she had seen a girl run so boldly, and she couldn't help but worry about it, for fear that she would trip.
An Le ran to him steadily, and suddenly mentioned something: "Uncle, when you left the city, you could see the Zhao family's dowry team?" The one who married was the girl from the Zhao family who wanted to beat you in the old year. It's strange to say, although she has a bad temperament, she is the granddaughter of the imperial history of Zhengsanpin Zuodu, and she is only married to a small official, and the county king's mansion has looked at her as a side concubine before. β
"There are fish!" Snow Goose is a playful person, and she ran to the side to play, and then she exclaimed and led An Le over.
"Auntie, I'll take a look."
"Don't get too close to the water, you fall down at the moment!" Lin Qingyun has a deep understanding of An Le's lively nature, which does not make people worry at all, and hurriedly reassures the egret to follow him.
Daiyu suddenly asked: "When the county lord mentioned the girl of the Zhao family, my sister's expression was a little wrong, but what do you know?" Good sister, tell me sΓΉ to know, so that I can also know in my heart. β
In fact, Zhang Ming married and sent a wedding card to the Lin family earlier, but Daiyu has always been angry about the Zhang family's retreat, and she didn't like it very much when she saw the Zhang family's post. She is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet without a female elder to lead, and she can't go out to eat and drink, and that day it was just Lin Ruhai who saw the friendship between the two families, and the father and daughter tacitly did not mention it to Lin Qingyun.
"I just found out, too." Lin Qingyun told Zhao Yunshuang in detail. "This Zhao Yunshuang has been married before."
Dai Yu nodded when he heard it: "I also heard from the Zhuang family's sister, saying that she had discussed marriage with the king of Dongping County, but it was only later that the eight characters disagreed, so the matter was stopped." β
Lin Qingyun shook her head: "Not only this time, Zhao Yunshuang has a cousin who is married. β
"Is this the thing? That ......" Although I don't know the back, but looking at the current situation, Daiyu also guessed a few points.
"Her cousin is the maiden nephew of the old lady of the Zhao family, and he was also an official in the court at the beginning, and he was also in the same family as Zhao Yushi, and his family background was the same, and he later became a parent. When the eldest wife of the Zhao family was pregnant with Zhao Yunshuang, the relationship between the two families was strong, and the old lady was also alive, so she decided to do the family affairs of the two children. Who knew that a few years later, the eldest brother of the old lady's mother's family did a wrong errand and was demoted to three levels, and he couldn't help but fall ill for a while, and died within a few months. Later, the Dongping County Wangfu revealed the meaning of marriage, and the Zhao family wanted to drive the cousin who lived in the mansion to prepare for the scientific expedition to the suburban Zhuangzi, and induced him to withdraw from the family. This matter was discovered by the Zhao family, and in anger, they beat their cousin and threw them out of the city, and when Zhao Yunshuang got the news again, his cousin had been dead for more than a month. β
Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes were slightly red: "This Zhao family is too treacherous, why doesn't the old lady care?" is also the cousin of the Zhao family, how can he be so vicious? β
"The old lady is old, she doesn't care about things for a long time, and her family hides it, how can she know? Besides, the old lady was not very good at that time. At that time, Zhao Yushi had not yet achieved his current position, his eldest son had just passed the palace examination, and his ranking was too low, and he was about to find a relationship to find a good shortage, how could Dongping Wangfu refuse to find it? They also love their daughters, and they feel that it is better to be the prince's concubine than to follow a cousin who has no family and no job, once they have the idea of regretting marriage, the rest of the matter will be out of control. It was precisely because everything that was done by the eldest master of the Zhao family back then that Zhao Yunshuang was estranged from her parents, which was also a reason why she stayed in the capital and never went to work with her parents.
"Then, why did Miss Zhao marry Zhang Sangongzi?" This is the knot in Daiyu's heart, which is more true than Lin Qingyun's party.
"It seems that Zhang Gongzi and that cousin are a little similar, and about where Zhao Yunshuang saw him, so he moved his mind." According to Tu Yan, it was Zhao Yunshuang who went out to meet Shangxiang, and then secretly inquired about Zhang Ming, so that as soon as Zhang Ming's results came out, she directly asked Zhao Ke to find a shortage of children in the Hanlin Academy for her.
When she learned of her cousin's death, Zhao Yunshuang was greatly stimulated, and she was crazy and wanted to die or live, which scared the Zhao family a lot, and the relationship with the royal family also failed. The Zhao family loves their daughter, especially Zhao Ke, who is such a granddaughter of a close relative, who has been smart and clever since she was a child, and is very endearing, so she promised Zhao Yunshuang that she will be the master of her own family affairs in the future. Zhao Yunshuang was entrusted to the age of nineteen, although the Zhao family also urged, but did not dare to force it, and now she is finally willing to marry, even if she has no family background.
This story is complicated in people's hearts, especially Zhao Yunshuang's current changes, which really makes people don't know what to say.
When Lin Qingyun heard this story from Tu Yan's mouth, he could only sigh that "hateful people must have pity".
Two days later, it was Daiyu's poetry club, and only three girls came to the Zhuang family, Zhuang Shiyu and the third son of the Yang family were hired in February, and April 16 was to welcome their relatives, so Zhuang Shiyu was not good to go out again. The Jia family Sanchun and Baochai Xiangyun came together, and after a closer look, they didn't notice any difference in Xiangyun, since the girl's family didn't say it, others didn't want to ask at will.
Lin Qingyun came back from the Lin Mansion, and Acacia said: "Today, the princess is not here, and the shopkeeper Ye came over and said that the foreign businessman was coming to resign." Does the princess want to see him? β
"Resignation?" Lin Qingyun didn't know if there was another change, so he went to ask Tu Yan.
Tu Yan was in the Changhuan Pavilion at this time, and when he saw her coming back, he said: "Wei Qing came just in time to help me find this book, which is a manuscript of a southern travel book written by an anonymous person in the previous dynasty." β
"Aren't all of your books in separate categories, how can you not find them?" Lin Qingyun helped him find it, and talked about Lawrence's departure from Beijing.
Tu Yan said: "I was about to tell you." The father had ordered someone to check the Quanzhou City Shipping Division, and it was indeed consistent with the previous speculation, so the father issued an order to reprimand Yan Yucong, the city shipping envoy, and ordered him to retry the seizure of foreign merchant ships. I'm afraid that now that the seized merchant ships have been cleared and the previous disposition has been revoked, Lawrence naturally has to hurry back to deal with the cargo on his ship. β
"Your Majesty, this is ...... Fight the grass and scare the snake, and then do the dark Chen Cang? Lin Qingyun immediately guessed.
"The father just wants to alarm the people behind him, and deal with it first, which also means paralysis." As he was talking, he saw a person outside, and when he looked closely, it was Gao Yang, the guard beside Tu Yan. Gao Yang whispered a few words to Tu Yan, but Lin Qingyun didn't pay attention to listen until Gao Yang left, and Tu Yan said, "There was something new just now, you can't guess it." β
"What's new? The prince has read a lot of books, and he has traveled all over the country, even you have never heard of it? Lin Qingyun answered the words, climbed up the ladder, and pulled out a thin book with both sides of the cover from the top layer of the bookshelf, and the cover was handwritten with four words "Travels in the South". Lifting the book and shaking it towards Tu Yan below, he smiled proudly: "What do you think this is?" β
"Be careful, come down." Tu Yan saw her move casually, afraid that she would fall from a height, and held the ladder tightly until her feet hit the ground, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You'an, you haven't said anything new." After Lin Qingyun came, for the convenience of reading, he added a high ladder to take books and a round stool that can sit and read books anytime and anywhere. At this time, he found the book that Tu Yan wanted, and did not give it to him, but moved a round stool to sit and opened the book casually.
Tu Yan sat beside her and said to her: "It's the news from the Jia family, and the whole capital knows about it, the Jia family's Baoyu is sick, and he can't eat anything and can't recognize people. Now the Jia family is looking for a miracle doctor everywhere, but if they can save Jia Baoyu, they can get 10,000 taels of silver! β
"Jia Baoyu is sick?" Lin Qingyun sighed: "The Jia family is the first of the Guogong Mansion, and Jia Baoyu is the only concubine in the second room, and he is Jia Taijun's heart, as long as he can be rescued, let alone 10,000 taels, they are willing to give out." β
Tu Yan smiled: "I haven't finished talking yet, now it's rumored that Jia Baoyu's illness is so serious, it was overcome." β
Lin Qingyun's heart jumped, and he immediately thought of Shi Xiangyun, could it be ......
Sure enough, Tu Yan's words confirmed her guess: "Everyone outside is saying that Jia Baoyu and the eldest girl of Shihou Mansion are discussing marriage, and the eldest girl Shi is hard-working, and she killed her parents when she was still in infancy, and now she is coming to Kejia Baoyu again, I am afraid that I will have to restrain them up and down Jiafu." β
"It's vicious." Lin Qingyun couldn't help but worry about Shi Xiangyun, how can a girl's family have such a reputation? Except for Mrs. Wang, who does this, no one else thinks.
"I don't think the Jia family is done yet." Tu Yan has nothing to do with the Jia family, but it's just a matter of watching the excitement.
