The sisters saw Zhou Rui's family open the wooden box, and there were twelve palace flowers inside, which were also very well-made, and they heard her say: "This is what my aunt asked me to send and said that it was a new flower made in the palace." ”

The Ying and Tan sisters accepted it, and thanked them again, and Zhou Rui's family saw that Daiyu didn't take it, so they thought about stammering, and hurriedly smiled: "Miss Lin also picks two." ”

Daiyu smiled lightly, first thanked her, and then said: "No need, I have already got a lot of invitations this year, let's play with these sisters." ”

There are only twelve of them in the shallow box, two for each of Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, plus Li Kun and Wang Xifeng, as well as the people in Dongfu, where is there enough for her?

Zhou Ruijia saw clearly at this time that the hosta flower on Daiyu's sideburns was actually a silk flower, and he couldn't help but be amazed. Such delicate flowers are only worn by the queen mother and the crown princess in the palace. Strange people say that Mrs. Gu has a very close relationship with the current queen, which seems to be true.

Seeing the more exquisite palace flowers, Aunt Xue gave them, naturally they looked rougher. Zhou Rui's family didn't understand, his face was a little sneering, he took the box, got up and came out, and wanted to go to Li Kun and Sister Feng'er. Turning around a corridor, I happened to meet Baoyu coming out listlessly, followed by the attacker and other girls.

"Sister Zhou." Baoyu said hello, and the attackers and others also came over and called Aunt Zhou affectionately.

"Where is the second master going?" Zhou Rui's family paid for Mrs. Wang's dowry, and these brothers and sisters said that they were more lenient.

"It's fine, but it's stuffy in the house, come out and disperse." Baoyu said, "Where is Sister Zhou going?" ”

Zhou Ruijia said with a smile: "I just went to talk back to my wife, but coincidentally, my wife went to Lixiangyuan, so I went." My aunt asked me to send these new palace flowers to the girls and grandmothers. ”

"I've just come back from the girls, and I'm going to the courtyard of the eldest and second grandmothers."

A few words from Zhou Rui's family clarified the reason. looked at Baoyu's clothes again, and then said to the attacker: "If it's still a little cold today, don't let my brother stay outside for a long time, and go back when you disperse." ”

The attacker smiled: "Don't worry, we all remember it." ”

Baoyu heard that Zhou Rui's family came from Lixiang Courtyard, and remembered Baochai, so she asked, "What is Sister Bao doing at home?" Why don't you come here these days? ”

Zhou Rui's family said: "It's not very good." Thinking of the recipe that Baochai told her, she sighed. That is, the Xue family, if this is another girl, I am afraid that she can only survive.

Na Baoyu heard that Bao Chai was sick. If you want to see it in person, you can't bear Daiyu. Baochai lives at home and can always be seen. But Daiyu lives in her own home, and she doesn't come over once when she is free. Sometimes when he comes, he is in school again, and when he gets out of school, Daiyu has already gone home, and he can't see him. Compared with his sister and his sister, it is still his sister who holds his heart more.

I thought about it. So he said to the girls: "Go to a personal look, and say that I sent to ask my aunt and sister how they are, and ask my sister what kind of disease she is and what medicine she takes." Logic. I should have gone in person, so I said that I had just come back from school, and I also caught a cold, and I would come to see it in person another day. He said. Qian Xue answered. Zhou Rui's family instructed Baoyu a few more words, which was nothing more than asking him to go back earlier and not stay outside for a long time. Then he went away without a word.

Daiyu has not been to Rongguo Mansion for four or five months since the beginning of the year, and after dinner, Lin Ruhai personally came to pick up his wife and daughter, and Jia's mother hugged Daiyu and refused to let her go. Jia Min couldn't, so she could only promise to stay with her daughter for a few days.

Jia Min instructed her daughter: "Yu'er listen to your grandmother well, get along well with your sisters, don't quarrel." I'll send someone to deliver your stuff in a moment. There is nothing to do at home, Mr. Yuan also went to the palace, you simply play for a few more days before going back. ”

Daiyu responded one by one, and brought the girl to live in the house where Jia Min was unmarried that night. Baoyu was really overjoyed to learn that Daiyu was going to stay, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously. Although Sister Lin has a lot of girls and grandmothers, he rarely gets close. However, it's good to see each other every day.

Lin Ruhai was not as relieved as Jia Min, and complained a little: "You know that Jia Baoyu is like that, why do you still leave your daughter." ”

Jia Min glared at him and said, "My grandmother left my granddaughter to live in two, can I refuse?" Anyway, the old lady is my own mother, understand! As for Jia Baoyu, I have already said it to the old lady, Ming'er will let him go to school, don't be at home every day, what can he do. ”

When the husband and wife returned home, they unexpectedly found that their son was also there, Lin Ruhai said: "It's strange today, you are at home." ”

Lin Rui greeted the husband and wife, and said with a smile: "There is something in the womb today, and the son will come back first." ”

Prince? Something? Lin Ruhai didn't connect these two words for a while.

Jia Min reacted quickly, "That child of Ding Cainu has flowed?" ”

Lin Rui sighed, "It's not that the child is lost, but that there are no children at all." "The prince refused to leave evidence that he was trapped, and he refused to even give him a correct name. Pity Ding Cainu, her brain is not enough, and she loves to show off and be used by others. If she dies this time, she will suffer less, and if she is lucky enough to survive, she does not know how much she will suffer.

Jia Min saw that there was still pity in his son's eyes, and patted him silently, "Take care of yourself, don't let anyone with a heart take advantage of the loophole." ”

Lin Rui nodded: "My son can save it." ”

Let's talk about Daiyu, who was left by Jia's mother to live in Rongguo's mansion. And because she was surrounded by girls and mothers-in-law of the Lin family, it was a little inconvenient to act in the Jia family, so Jia's mother named a second-class girl next to her as Brother Parrot, renamed it Zijuan, and sent it to Daiyu to call her.

Daiyu couldn't refuse, so she accepted it. Fortunately, this girl who changed her name to Zijuan has a gentle and obedient temperament, and she can get along with it. Because it was given by Jia's mother, Zijuan entered the house and served by Daiyu's side. She is also well-behaved and extremely smart, silently watching how the girls around Daiyu behave, bothering to figure out Daiyu's thoughts, a few days have passed, to the point that Su Yue and a few people are impressed.

It just so happened that on this day, Baoyu went to play in the East Mansion with Sister Feng, met Jia Rong's brother-in-law Qin Zhong, came back to say to Jia's mother, and begged: "Ancestor, I think he will only vote for the deed, and I want him to go to school with me, and I also have a friend who accompanies me." "I really praised Qin Zhong's character and deeds, which is the most lovable.

Sister Feng and the Qin family are the best, and naturally they also help to say good things. Mother Jia has always liked the Qin family very much, and I heard that it was her younger brother. Immediately. I heard Sister Feng say that the drama in Dongfu was lively, which made Jia's mother happy, and she was also interested, hugged Daiyu and said with a smile: "Ming'er, let's go." ”

Daiyu didn't want to go, but it could be seen that Jia's mother was happy and had to nod.

On the second day, You Shi came to invite, and Jia's mother brought Xing, Wang's daughter-in-law, and a group of grandsons and granddaughters to Dongfu together. I will return until noon.

Mother Jia is old and wants to rest. Daiyu has developed a habit at home since she was a child, and she has to lie down at noon. Baoyu sent Jia's mother back, thinking that she could talk to Daiyu, but she didn't expect Daiyu to also sue her and go back to the room. She was surrounded by people brought by the Lin family, and several serious-looking grandmothers were guarding the outside, never allowing Baoyu to step into Daiyu's house. Not only that, but Jia Mu also told Baoyu several times in private. They are all old, and they still have to avoid each other, let alone cousins.

Baoyu didn't dare to refute Jia Mu's words, but she was also a little strange in her heart. They are also cousins. Why is Sister Shan Lin's rules so big? Sister Benbao and Sister Yun often talk and laugh together. If Sister Yun is because she grew up with him since childhood, there is no need to avoid it so much. Sister Kebao is also a relative of the same two aunts later. It's a little farther than Sister Lin. But he also laughed with Sister Bao on weekdays, and he also went to Sister Bao's house, but he didn't see his aunt and his mother objecting?

He wondered. It's not good to say much, so I can only talk to the attacker in private. The attacker comforted him in private, "Miss Lin is the daughter of a first-class member in the court, and the rules are naturally stricter." If nothing else, Mrs. Gu is back, haven't you seen the pomp and circumstance? ”

Baoyu thought of her aunt Jia Min, thought so, and sighed: "I only hate that my aunt is too strict, such a fairy-like sister, you can't get close." At that time, I didn't ask for much, as long as Sister Lin could say a word to me every day, smile, and be willing to die. ”

The attacker's heart was sour, and he turned around and pretended to be annoyed, "I said that these dead and alive, if people hear it, go and tell the master, it will be another anger." ”

At the mention of Jia Zheng, Baoyu was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more, and lay down with his head down. But today I was bored, I sat idle for a while, and remembered that Baochai was recuperating at home recently, and I didn't go to see her, so I got up to see her.

As for Baoyu going to Lixiangyuan, how to exchange jade and gold locks with Baochai, and how to get Baochai's girl Ying'er a funny word: "It's a pair with the words on our girl's collar." ”

"The golden lock is a gift from an immortal, and it must be engraved on the gold vessel......

Without waiting to finish a sentence, he was sent by Baochai to pour tea.

Daiyu got up from a nap, read a book, listened to Jia's mother, and took someone to Jia's mother's room to talk with her, and it happened that all the sisters were there, and the time for talking and laughing passed quickly. At dinner, because she didn't see Baoyu coming, Jia's mother asked, and immediately the girl in Baoyu's room replied: "Back to the old lady's words, Miss Bao is sick, the second master went to visit, and was left by the aunt to eat." ”

Mother Jia's face was not very good-looking, and she only said: "Ask someone to watch it, and don't allow him to eat more wine." ”

Daiyu remembered that she had lived here for a few days and had not yet visited Baochai, so she hurriedly said: "Sister Bao has been sick these days, and I haven't gone to see it, so I feel so uneasy." ”

Mother Jia hugged her and smiled: "It's not a serious illness, just take care of it for two days." Besides, your body is thin, how can you get better if you get sick? When she's safe, it's not too late for you to go over. ”

Since Baoyu visited Baochai that day, a rumor suddenly arose in Rongguo's mansion. It is said that Miss Bao has a golden lock given by the fairy, and she has to have jade to match. And Baoyu was born to bring out a piece of jade, isn't the two of them a good relationship.

Daiyu only listened to it as a joke, and Jia Mu was extremely angry. Baoyu is her lifeblood, how can she match him with a merchant girl, even if it is an imperial businessman. The old lady originally liked Daiyu, and she also knew that Baoyu was not worthy of it. But if Baoyu is successful in studying and is also a jinshi, this family may not be undiscussed. Yes, no matter how much she spoils Baoyu, she is also very tight in her studies.

But where did you know that Daiyu was favored by the royal family and wanted to be the princess. Where can a minister compare with the royal family? When Jia's mother was lost, she remembered another person, who was her niece Shi Xiangyun. Although Xiangyun said that his parents died, he was still the daughter of Houmen, and he and Baoyu grew up since childhood, and they had a good relationship, and they were also matched, so they were an excellent candidate.

But obviously, her second daughter-in-law, Baoyu's mother-in-law, thinks differently from her. Before Daiyu, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also had a tacit understanding. Daiyu can't do it, and then change the candidate. But there were differences. Mrs. Wang took a fancy to her niece Baochai even more, and even let such rumors spread to everyone in the house. Yes, Jia Mu was very unhappy.

Mother Jia didn't want Baoyu to see Baochai more, so she detained him to go to school and study, and Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't say anything, but Baoyu was not very happy. That day, when he was in Lixiangyuan, he found that Sister Bao was not as unapproachable as usual, and he was thinking about going around more. I didn't want the old lady to urge him to go to school.

Coincidentally, on this day, Jia Rong brought his brother-in-law Qin Zhong to meet Jia's mother. When Baoyu heard this, she hurriedly took him out of the road and led him to see him personally. When Jia's mother saw Qin Zhong's description of Peugeot, his demeanor was gentle, and he could accompany Baoyu to study, so she liked it very much, and asked her to leave tea and dinner, and asked someone to take her to see Mrs. Wang.

Everyone was in harmony with the Qin clan. There is also an increase in the number of courtesies. Qin Zhong came soon, and Baoyu's mind to go to school came alive, and he didn't wait for anyone to urge him every day, so he hurriedly took the books out of the house. It made Jia Mu and others very relieved to see it.

Daiyu stayed for a few more days, and because the queen in the palace summoned her, Jia Min took the opportunity to take her daughter back. The day before leaving, the sisters gathered together to talk. Tanchun sighed: "If you go, it will take a few months to see you again." ”

Daiyu said with a smile: "The weather is hot, and flowers are blooming in our home." At that time, a banquet was held for the sisters to come and enjoy together. ”

Tanchun smiled: "Then it's decided." ”

Daiyu nodded.

Baochai smiled and asked, "Does Sister Lin often enter the palace?" I heard that the queen mother is very kind. ”

Daiyu said with a smile: "I don't go often, the queen mother cherishes girls, and often calls the daughters of the ministers into the palace to laugh." Today is this one, tomorrow is that one, and it is always not fixed. ”

"My sister is in the palace, have you ever met my big sister?" Baochai suddenly asked, "I don't know if the big sister of Lu Dao is good in the palace?" ”

Daiyu stared slightly, smiled shallowly: "That's forbidden, let's go to talk to Niangniang again, how dare you walk around at will, but Gur hasn't met the eldest cousin once." As for how the eldest cousin is in the palace, Niangniang is the most considerate palace person, and the eldest sister is a female official in charge of etiquette, which must be good. ”

As soon as she said this, Baochai couldn't ask any further, she smiled: "I just envy my sister, I can often see my mother's Fengyan and listen to the teachings." ”

Daiyu smiled and didn't make a sound. She also borrowed the momentum of her father, and there is nothing to say.

The next day, Jia Min came to pick up Daiyu home, accompanied Jia's mother to lunch as usual, and only came back with her daughter in the car in the evening.

"Yu'er, how are you doing at your grandfather's house during this time?" Jia Min raised her hand and smoothed her daughter's flowing sea, and asked with a gentle smile.

Daiyu was tired of being by Jia Min's side, and said coquettishly: "My grandmother is very good to me, and there are sisters joking together on weekdays, and the days are much more interesting." ”

"Where's Baoyu?"

"My cousin is going to school, and I heard that there is a new companion, and I have been much more diligent in reading recently."

Companion reading? It can't be Qin Zhong. Jia Min thought about it, she had to ask her husband to talk to the second brother and go to the clan school to see how those children were learning.

Baoyu got Qin Zhong and went to school every day, even the four books that Mr. talked about, and he felt that it was not so boring.

The Jia family was originally managed by Rong Guo Jia Daishan ruthlessly for a while, and after Rong Gong went, it was Jia Yu and Jia Zheng's turn, and they couldn't help but be loose. The gentleman who Rong Gong invited back that day was angry with Jia Yu and left, annoying Jia's mother, giving her eldest son a good lesson, and almost asking the family law to come out. Since then, Jia Yu refused to care anymore and pushed it to his younger brother.

Jia Zhengzhi also listened to Lin Ruhai's persuasion, and tried his best to invite the famous teachers in the capital, and posted the admonition of Rong Gong that day, and also managed it ruthlessly for a while, and the atmosphere in the study was also suppressed. But as Jia Zheng gets older, most of the family affairs in the clan are handed over to the juniors. The affairs of ethnology were also led by Jia Zhen. Na Jia Zhen is a master who eats, drinks, and has fun and does everything, where is he willing to take care of it.

In addition, after Xue Pan entered Beijing, he also entered the Jia family, and the students were all children of their own clan and nephews of relatives. Most of them are young and energetic, and they don't like to read, and because Jia Zhen is unwilling to restrain everyone, Jia Zhu himself has to study hard, and he doesn't have much time to take care of things. Jia Lian and Jia Zhen have a temper and never go more to ethnology. The atmosphere in the middle of the school gradually dispersed, and he was slow to treat his husband's instructions.

The trouble made Mr. angry, hit the board, and the elders in the family had the bad luck of the not being strong, and they wanted to find Mr. After coming and going, two gentlemen were about to leave the museum.

Jia Zhen has been being controlled by his father recently, and when he heard that a gentleman was going to quit the museum, he remembered that Jia Yu was scolded at the beginning, how to respond. With countless gifts, I rushed to the house of the two gentlemen, and I was arching and pleading, and I was asking for sin, and I said countless good things before I could be regarded as keeping the two gentlemen. He was angry here, so he naturally wanted to find it back on others, so he caught two of them, cleaned them up fiercely, and warned the rest of them strictly before coming back. He was able to suppress the troublemakers in the clan study here, and Baoyu took Qin Zhong into the clan study.

Although Jia Zhen was angry and suppressed everyone, the atmosphere that has been formed over time is easy to change. Within three months of Qin Zhong's enrollment, he quarreled with the people in the school because of the incident of Fengyue.

The gentleman was angry, and he didn't ask for any reason, and each of them made twenty moves, and Ge Ling stood aside to introspect. On this day, the authentic great-grandson named Jia Qiang in the Ning Mansion is also there, he and Jia Rong are the best, and when he sees someone bullying Qin Zhong, he is naturally unhappy, so he provokes Baoyu's scholar to smoke a few words. That Baoyu's scholars are all at an age when they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and with such a favored master as Baoyu, they naturally can't get up lawlessly. After listening to Jia Qiang's few provocative words, he took advantage of the situation to make a big fuss in the school.

It doesn't matter if he makes a fuss, Mr. Sun, who is sitting in the hall today, is so angry that his hands tremble, and the bamboo board crackles on the case, but it doesn't work at all, and the people in the room should make trouble, and they should fight and fight.

Mr. Sun is also a big temperament, so he got up directly and went to Rongguo Mansion. He was invited back by Jia Zheng that day, and because his mother was sick, Jia Zheng invited the imperial doctor to come and see, so he remembered it all. Some time ago, several gentlemen asked to go, but he didn't move. This time, he couldn't stand it anymore. It's just that by the grace of Jia Zheng, it is necessary to make it clear in person.

Mr. Sun left in a fit of rage, and the troublemakers didn't notice it at first. When Baoyu's entourage Li Gui came in, ordered a few scholars who lived in Baoyu, and stopped the chaos in the house, only to find that Mr. Sun was gone.

Li Gui was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What about Mr.?" ”

Everyone shook their heads and said that they didn't know, they just made a fuss, and those who watched the jokes looked at the jokes, how did they know where Mr. Lu Dao was. When the gentleman in the next room came out, he said with a smile: "I saw that Mr. Sun was gone, so I must have gone to tell Zhenggong." ”

Jia Zheng? Oh my God, this time it's miserable. Then Li Gui felt that the sky was about to fall. looked at Mingyan again, and there was ruthlessness in his eyes, "It's all you rabbit cubs, let you make trouble, this time the skin won't be uncovered for you." ”

Baoyu was also stupid, he was most afraid of his father, "Li Gui, what can I do?" ”

Li Gui stumbled and sighed: "My brother, where does the villain know the way." ”

Mingyan hurriedly said, "Quickly find someone to tell the old lady to go." ”

Now it's not good to tell anyone, Jia Zheng listened to Mr. Sun's words, and was so angry that he took someone to the school in person. After arriving, he was not polite at all, and first ordered everyone: "Tie up all the troublemakers to me and beat them hard." ”

These people in the school, seeing that Jia Zheng was angry, where did they dare to tell the difference, they were pressed on the bench one by one, beaten a hard board, and even Baoyu didn't run away. As for the scholars of Mingyan, Jia Zheng directly called people, "One person has fifty boards, and if he is not dead, he will be sold directly." ”

Here in the school, crackling, beating many people, Jia Zheng was still not satisfied, and found the elders in the family to come over to lecture, "It's all what you are used to, you have indulged this beast into lawlessness, even the school dares to make trouble, and Mr. is so angry that he wants to resign from the museum, what a good skill!" ”

"If you don't want to learn, get out of it as soon as possible, don't bring others tired."

After training these people, their faces were blue and red. When Jia Jing heard the news, he also came over, and frowned when he entered the door: "How the master set up the rules that day, how to do it today." A few people who took the lead in making trouble, this year's quota is gone, and during the Chinese New Year, you don't have to go to my house to cry poor, and I won't see you. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, many people in the clan did not have much progress at home, and most of them were pointing to the year-end routine to live. If this example is not there, it means that the family will have to eat bran vegetables for a year. At the moment, looking at his son's gaze was a little unkind, he still had some resentment against Jia Zheng beating his son, but this resentment was gone, he only hated his son for not being angry, why didn't others make trouble, and he came to make trouble. (To be continued......)
