After the lively New Year, the housewives of each family are in a semi-resting state, and they are really too tired for the New Year and need to take a break. In the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang sat upright in her room, her face was sinking like water, the whole person was gloomy and abnormal, and the girls waiting in the room were all silent, breathing, and moving lightly, not daring to make a sound.

Jia Min is really deceitful! Mrs. Wang clenched her hands hatefully, and pierced her nails into her palms, bringing the slightest pain. Isn't Yuan Chun her niece, how difficult it would be for her to help her say a good word in front of the queen! Hmph, she only thinks about her own glory and wealth, but she doesn't even care about her niece's suffering in the palace, she is really selfish!

It turned out that Mrs. Wang received a message from her daughter Yuanchun, and when she told her about the New Year, Jia Min ignored Yuanchun's request, and then sat in the house sulking until this time, which made the atmosphere in the whole courtyard very depressing. Jia Zheng's two aunts stood honestly at the door, not daring to raise their heads.

Aunt Zhou's heart was already like ashes, and there was no expression on her face. Aunt Zhao lowered her eyes, but there was a smile. She already knew the Tao through Caixia, and Mrs. was angry about what she was angry about. Great, you don't look at us every day, you dislike our identity, just an aunt. As a result, your precious daughter, who went to the palace to be a slave to the saint and the queen, rushed to be a concubine, but she didn't do it, it was really a slap in the face.

It's already stuffy here, but someone is talking back and forth, saying that Miss Bao was brushed off in the primary election.

Mrs. Wang's face darkened even more, but then she didn't know what Lu Dao thought, and her expression slowly slowed down, and she was a little happy. No matter what the master is happy about, but when she is happy, the people around her can be more relaxed. Jin Chuan and Caiyun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and they also had a smile on their faces.

"Colorful clouds. You go to Lixiangyuan to see what Mrs. Aunt and Miss Bao are doing, and say that I will invite them to come and talk. Mrs. Wang returned to her former kind appearance, and gently instructed her maid.

"Yes." Caiyun took the order and left.

After a while, only Aunt Xue came over, but Baochai was gone. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang asked with concern, "Why can't Baochai see you?" ”

Aunt Xue sat down and said with a smile: "She was sick in the past, so she took medicine and raised it at home." ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that a Taoist priest gave a home remedies, and it was already cured?" ”

Aunt Xue said: "It's not that I'm always sick. Once or twice in a while, just take two pills. ”

"But have you asked someone to see it again?" Madame Wang frowned slightly. Seeing Lin Ruhai's ascension, she originally wanted to hire Daiyu as his wife for her son, so as to use the momentum of Lin Ruhai and Lin Rui, not only did Baoyu not have to worry about her future in the future, but her eldest son Jia Zhu and daughter Yuanchun could also borrow light. Who wants to ...... As soon as Mrs. Wang thought of this, she felt panicked in her heart. She had noticed that Jia Mu also had the same thoughts as her. So he didn't move, wanting Jia Mu to come forward. Who knew that Jia Min's family went to the prince, and he didn't take a fancy to her son at all.

Hum. Snobbish, selfish ghost! She tugged hard at the handkerchief, barely suppressing the fire in her heart. Do you think that my treasure jade will not be able to find a good one except for your daughter? My niece Baochai is much better than your daughter.

Mrs. Wang almost had an idea after she was defeated. Now in the Rongguo Mansion. She is naturally the sole family, and the wife of the eldest son-in-law is her niece, so she is naturally close to herself. The eldest daughter-in-law is a wooden son. Naturally, listen to yourself. Now the only one who can hold her down is the old lady. And since the old lady broke off her heart to marry Daiyu for Baoyu, she hit her niece Xiangyun again. picked her up from time to time, and connived at her to play with Baoyu.

No, Baoyu is my son, and his daughter-in-law can only be my master. Shi Xiangyun, that crazy girl, is not worthy of my treasure jade at all. When it comes to Baochai, she is dignified and generous, beautiful in appearance, acts very much for herself, and can persuade Baoyu to make progress. Mrs. Wang hated to settle Baochai for Baoyu immediately, but she also knew that the old lady would definitely not agree to this matter. If Baoyu marries Baochai again, this Jia family will be the world of the Wang family. Even for her own sake, it is impossible to agree with Si.

Mrs. Wang invited Aunt Xue over today, firstly, to comfort her, and secondly, to discuss it and reach a consensus with her sister in private. And when Baochai was a child, there was a golden lock given by a Taoist priest, and it was said that there was jade to match, isn't this the jade of Baoyu that is being said, the so-called golden jade good fate should be like this. Thinking about it like this, it made her more and more determined to marry Baochai and come back.

Aunt Xue was also very flustered after her daughter lost the election. If she can serve the prince and have another child, she will ascend the throne for the crown prince, and her daughter will be the imperial concubine, and she and her son can borrow her daughter's light. It's good that they want to get it, but who knows that the primary election will be brushed off. Baochai also felt that he couldn't get over it, and there was a fire in his heart, and he was guilty of the old disease, and he was more and more reluctant to move this way.

Today, Mrs. Wang mentioned the matter of Baochai and Baoyu to Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue nodded without thinking much about it. Now that the Xue family is gradually declining, the son is not successful, and the daughter's Jinxiu future is also broken. It's better to choose a good family for her, which is also her mother's intention. Baoyu's child, who is also common in the city in the past, is the most gentle and considerate to girls, and is the youngest son of his sister and his nephew. In addition, his brother Jia Zhu is a scholarly and motivated, and there is an uncle like Lin Ruhai who is in the court, and the future is definitely good. At that time, even if Baoyu does not go to the imperial examination, donates another official, has an identity, and lives at home with his brother and sister-in-law, it will be the same.

Aunt Xue's consideration was right, the big families of that era paid attention to living together, and it was easy to not be separated. If Baoyu can't study, she can rely on her brother and sister-in-law for the rest of her life.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue reached a preliminary consensus here, and the two of them served tea and laughed at the same time. Over there, Jia Min took her daughter and daughter-in-law into the palace. The queen was sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and when she saw Daiyu, she smiled and beckoned: "Good boy, come to me, there are good things for you to keep." ”

Seeing this, Jia Min secretly rolled her eyes, sat opposite the queen by herself, and watched the woman take her daughter into her arms, touching and pinching it here and there.

"Hey, lightly start, my daughter's skin is tender, what should you do if you pinch it red." Jia Min knocked on the table. Remind the weird aunt on the other side who is getting more and more excessive, don't lift my daughter's clothes, okay.

"Hey, hey, it's easy to touch." The queen didn't have any embarrassed expression, smiled and retracted her hand, turned her head to look at the palace maid in the hall, "Go and bring the things I selected yesterday." ”

The crown princess was also sitting, and got up with a smile when she saw this, "Erchen went to get it, I watched someone put it yesterday." ”

The queen waved her hand and said with a smile: "They are here." Just let them go. It's rare for your sister to come in once, you two talk in the house, I don't want you to serve here. ”

The crown princess has been with the queen for a long time, and she also touched her temper, and she was shallow at that time, "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

"Go, go, go." The queen waved her hand.

The crown princess pursed her lips and pulled her sister to Xinuan Pavilion.

Jia Min watched the two of them go out, turned his head and smiled: "What, are you going to be a good mother-in-law?" ”

The queen glared at her. "I can't be worse than you."

"You can't just choose a higher point than the other? You have to compare with me. ”

"Hehe, just compare with you, others are not interested."

The queen and her mother are back and forth, and Daiyu has seen too much. She pursed her lips and leaned on the queen's arms with a smile, looking at this and that with a pair of affectionate eyes, it was very interesting. This is what my mother said about girlfriends. Although the bickering is funny, it makes people feel that the two are very close.

As he was talking, a few palace people over there came over with something. But it is all kinds of new fabrics, jewelry and other things, as well as some new books made in the palace, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, in short, Daiyu will like it.

The queen casually opened a refined wooden box, which contained six palace flowers, all of which were extremely delicate and indistinguishable from real flowers. She picked up a white magnolia casually, compared it with Daiyu's sideburns, and said with a smile: "The former Internal Affairs Office brought some silk flowers up, but I looked very rough, and I didn't leave it for Yu'er." But coincidentally, the things that came into the south yesterday arrived, and everything else was just left, but these flowers were made skillfully, and they could be played, so I kept them. Give some to the crown princess, and take the rest of the jade back to play. ”

Daiyu hurriedly smiled and pushed away, "Thank you for the queen's love, this flower is so delicate, it's not easy to make it, so keep it for yourself." ”

But the queen stuffed the box into her hand, "I am all the time, and I still carry some flowers and flowers, these things are better to bring with you little girls." Be obedient, take it, and show it to me when you come back to the palace, and I will be happy. ”

"But the princess ......" Daiyu hesitated a little, these palace flowers are so exquisite, it is very difficult to make them. Listening to the queen's meaning, Jiangnan should not offer much, she only gave it to the crown princess, and there was no one else. In this palace, there are still the rest of the princesses, how can she continue.

The queen smiled faintly, "Yu'er accepts it directly, they all have their own examples, and they can't be wronged." "What those girls have, in her eyes, is far inferior to Daiyu.

Jia Min smiled: "The second prince should get married this year, right?" She motioned to the queen with her eyes, did you forget your second daughter-in-law, you have to leave something for others.

The queen really forgot, when she looked at the things in Jiangnan, she saw these palace flowers at a glance, exquisite and novel, and what was even more rare was a real word, so she was so happy that she asked the emperor to come, and she was divided into two parts, one for the crown princess, and the other for Daiyu to keep.

Xiao Jin naturally knew the way, and said with a smile: "You are too stingy, so I gave a few silk flowers, I see that this year's gold weaving material is good, choose a good color, give a few more." ”

The queen gave him a blank look, "You still need to say this." Then he drove him away, "Go about your business, don't make trouble with me, you don't understand what the little girl likes." ”

Xiao Jin pushed her involuntarily and walked a few steps, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I don't understand, don't follow the mix, you can be busy." After speaking, he no longer went out, but changed his clothes and sat down in the study in the east room to make folds.

Of course, the small entanglement between the emperor and the queen, Jia Min and the others don't have to know the way. But seeing the queen's unnatural expression for a moment, she knew that she must have forgotten. Speaking of which, the wife of the second prince was also selected by Xiao Jin and the queen. But she is different from the crown princess and Daiyu after all. The crown princess and the crown prince were married at a young age, and since then, the queen often invites the princess to come over to talk, which is equivalent to watching the princess grow up with her own eyes, and the feelings are naturally different. And Daiyu, with Jia Min's mother, will naturally get close to the queen. But the second princess is different, except for following her mother to the palace to see the queen a few times, and after answering a few words in a proper manner, she has not had much contact. The relationship between people is only close after they are familiar. Compared with the eldest daughter-in-law and the younger daughter-in-law who have already set. The queen was really impressed by the second daughter-in-law who was about to enter the door.

"That, she, I've rewarded it too." The queen said it less straightforwardly.

Jia Min was speechless, opened several small boxes casually, picked out two of them and put them in the queen's hand, "Add this in." ”

The queen smiled, and she was not polite, and put it away directly. Then, she didn't feel embarrassed. Coaxed Daiyu and said: "Yu'er, aunt still has good things here, your prince's brother just sent them." As he spoke, he beckoned to someone, "Go and get it." ”

This time the palace maid came back, Daiyu's eyes widened, but there were several snow-white kittens, all of which were only the size of a palm, snow-white and snow-white. It's like a hairball.,It's so cute.。

When the queen saw that Daiyu loved to touch this one inappropriately, hugged that one, and smiled with satisfaction: "Does Yu'er like it?" My aunt will give you two. She waved her hand very generously: "See if you like that, pick yourself." ”

Jia Min sat on the side drinking tea by herself, and she couldn't care about the queen's self-proclaimed claim.

Daiyu had a hard time choosing two little hairballs and hugging them into her arms. The queen saw it. also specially asked someone to choose a little palace maid who could serve the cat, and asked her to follow Daiyu.

Jia Min hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, "We don't have anything else in our family." There are still a lot of people. "Just kidding, can anyone use the palace maid, her daughter is not the princess.

The queen couldn't help it, glanced at Jia Min, and waved her hand to let the little palace maid go down. coaxed Daiyu again: "Go find your sister-in-law and play with them." ”

When Daiyu came out, the queen lowered her voice and said very dissatisfiedly: "What is wrong with my son, handsome and gentle, smart and funny, considerate and filial. Even if you are not a prince, there are few boys in the world who are so good, what are you picky about. ”

Jia Min leisurely spread the tea leaves: "My daughter is not bad, as far as I can see, there are few ladies in this capital who can match her." ”

The queen was so angry that she wanted to slap the table: "You ......"

Jia Min said very seriously: "I only have this one daughter, of course I want to see more." Girl's family, how difficult life is, you know better than me. Especially at the royal level, can you not let me think about it more. ”

The queen said hatefully: "You can think in vain, when Yu'er turns thirteen, I will let the sage make an order." ”

Uh, another year? In other words, the fifth prince has been taught by her husband about the same, and if he consolidates it in another year, there should be no problem in a short time. In the future, there will be the prince and Rui'er watching it. Jia Min thought about it for a while, didn't say anything more this time, and said very simply: "Okay, I'll wait for the order." As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, raised her head and said, "The decree is the decree, you don't send those yin and yang weird grandmothers in the palace." ”

"Okay, okay, I know." Anyway, Daiyu is a little daughter-in-law, as long as she is responsible for following the fifth child together, their brother is there for other things.

Jia Min's mother and daughter in the palace are really mixed. Jia Min's heart was indescribable, looking at Yue Chaoyi's daughter, the feeling of pity and reluctance was even greater. She didn't want to marry her daughter into the royal family, but her husband had too close a relationship with the emperor, and her son was very good with the crown prince. Even if she is the emperor, it is impossible for Daiyu to marry into a powerful family.

But thinking about it the other way, at least the queen's mother-in-law is a good woman, and she shouldn't embarrass her daughter. Besides, after the prince gets married, he will go out of the palace to open a mansion. As the princess, she will enter the palace for ten days to greet the queen for ten days after she dies, and she will talk to her. It's not like other people's families, they have to set rules in front of their mother-in-law, and they have to be controlled by their mother-in-law and meddle in the affairs of the young husband and wife.

Besides, the daughter is the fifth princess. Although the five princes are a little narcissistic, they are very eloquent, calligraphy and painting, have a common language with their daughters, and have common hobbies, and they can expect to live together in harmony after marriage. Just like the queen told her before, the daughter and the five princes only need to be in charge of the wind and snow, eat, drink and have fun, and their brothers are all there.

Jia Min's various self-comforts here can be regarded as suppressing the sourness in his heart. But when Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, she was unhappy, and pulled her husband's neck and threatened, "You teach me Xiao Wutuo well, otherwise, see how I clean you up." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded again and again, and it was easy to wait for Jia Min to calm down before he cautiously asked, "What, what did the queen mother say?" ”

"When Yu'er is thirteen, the order will be made."

"Damn, Thirteen! It's too early! Before Yu'er is eighteen years old, I will never let her marry! The stupid father who loved his daughter was furious, and turned around the house with his hands behind his back, "No." I'll talk to the saint tomorrow. ”

Jia Min threw him a pillow, "Sleep." ”

"Ah...... Oh......"

During the Chinese New Year, the emperor and the empress both rewarded a lot of things, that is, where is the prince of the East Palace, in addition to the Lin family and his wife, he also prepared a special one for Daiyu. Daiyu was busy packing up these things, looking at more than a dozen boxes of silk flowers made in the palace, thinking about it, and choosing some incense beads, palace fans, incense sachets and other things, and putting some new books, pen and ink and the like. Put them away one by one.

When I brought someone to the main room in the evening, I quietly said to Jia Min: "Mother, I got a lot of things during the New Year, and I want to give some to my second sister and them." ”

Jia Min hugged her in her arms, rubbed her hair, and said with a smile: "I am very happy that you can think of these sisters." When you've packed up, call someone close to you to send it. ”

After Daiyu entered Beijing, she also made several friends. It's just that the rewards in the palace are not easy to distribute to them. She made exquisite Suzhou and Hangzhou dim sum with the cook at home, packed it in a fruit box, and sent it to several people.

said that on this day, Jia's mother missed her daughter and granddaughter. Send someone to pick it up. Jia Min thought that there was nothing to do, and he hadn't been back for a long time, so he called someone to call Daiyu and went out together. The affairs of the family were entrusted to the daughter-in-law. Recently, Jia Min has been trying to let go of some affairs for her daughter-in-law to do.

Daiyu happened to bring something to give to her sister and sister. changed clothes, got in the car with Jia Min, and went out of the house.

When she arrived at Rongguo Mansion and saw Mother Jia, the old lady was very happy, pulled Daiyu and couldn't help asking, and touched her little face with pity, "Why did you lose weight." ”

Daiyu touched her little face, "I don't think so." ”

Jia Min smiled: "She has grown taller, so the old lady sees that she has lost weight." ”

While talking and laughing, Baoyu and several sisters came over to welcome spring and explore spring. As soon as Jia Min saw Baoyu, he asked, "Why didn't Brother Bao go to school?" ”

As soon as Baoyu saw Jia Min's aunt, she trembled a little, which was not the same as being afraid of his father. Hearing Jia Min's question, he immediately bowed his head and replied respectfully: "I didn't go because I had some bad feelings in the past two days." ”

"It's not good on the body, so I don't want to raise it. It's still a little cold outside, what if it's freezing again? You are still young, you must know how to take care of your body, or it will be too late to become the root of the disease. Jia Min took out his aunt's money, educated Baoyu, and went back to the room directly.

The attacker saw Baoyu rushing out to see Miss Lin, and he did come back dejectedly, knowing that he was told by Jia Min again, and he was a little angry at Jia Min for being troublesome. My aunt also has a son, why don't I care about him, and take care of my nephew every day.

Since that day, this attacker and Baoyu had a happy life, and they felt that their identities were different, and they had more and more control over Baoyu. It's just that she is mostly confused by tenderness and does not confront her bluntly, and Baoyu also responds to her words for the most part. It's a pity that I answered it in person, and then forgot about it.

Seeing that Baoyu was unhappy, the attacker came over and said that he liked to hear it, coaxed him to laugh, and slowly coaxed Baoyu back.

Over there, Baoyu left, and Daiyu and the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun sat together and talked and laughed. She sent the things she brought, and said with a smile: "This is my new one this year, give my sisters and sisters a fresh play, and don't dislike the second sister, third sister, and fourth sister." Because she didn't see Baochai, she asked casually, "Why don't you see Sister Bao?" ”

Tanchun said with a smile: "Sister Bao has an old illness and is recuperating at home." ”

Dai Yufang nodded, "This is Sister Bao's, please ask the third sister to transfer it on your behalf." After a few days, Sister Bao will feel better, and I will go to visit her again. ”

"Hmm."

The little sisters talked and laughed, the atmosphere was just right, Zhou Rui's family came in with a box and smiled, first asked a few girls An, and then smiled at Daiyu: "Miss Lin has been here for a few days." ”

Daiyu smiled: "It's only been a long time. ”

Xichun looked at the box on the table of Zhou Rui's family and asked, "Aunt Zhou, what is this?" ”

"Oh, the palace flowers that my aunt sent to a few girls are all fresh in the palace." As she spoke, she opened the box, and when her eyes swept over Daiyu's sideburns, she was stunned, how could there be a hosta flower at this time? (To be continued......)
