Volume III - Chapter 40 It's Chinese New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye
In the blink of an eye, it has reached the end of the year, and Jiafu is very busy, in comparison, Daiyu's Qingyao Courtyard is surprisingly peaceful.
First, there are few people, secondly, there is no need to be busy inviting Nianlie to eat or something, and thirdly, there is no need to worship ancestors, but Daiyu is paying tribute to her parents in private.
However, Zijuan and Snow Goose together with Xiao Jiu and Xiaobao were still busy, putting up lights everywhere, Zhao Yu sent a lot of things in the first two days, and then, Miaoyu also sent clothes, incense beads, ornaments and the like from the palace to Daiyu.
Daiyu also picked out some new gadgets in the world, and asked Eunuch Xia to give them to Miaoyu.
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Daiyu paid tribute to her parents with her private room in the morning, and after lunch, someone from Jia Mansion came to invite her to watch the play. Daiyu couldn't shirk it, so she took Zijuan and Snow Goose over, and as soon as she arrived at the door, Baoyu personally greeted her, helped her get out of the car, and asked: "I called the legal person to invite my sister in the morning, how can I say that I don't come if I have something?" ”
Daiyu smiled and said: "It's early in the morning, your ancestors here are also busy, what kind of mess did I come over to make trouble?" Moreover, although my parents were buried in the south, I eventually worshipped in my private room to fulfill my filial piety. ”
"That's right, but I've forgotten." Baoyu laughed.
Daiyu's heart moved, and asked, "Why haven't you seen the second sister recently?" ”
"Hey----" Baoyu sighed when she heard it, "where is she free?" Now their grandson family is not in the capital, and the brother-in-law is an official, no better than ordinary people, she has been so busy recently that she doesn't even have the time to eat. Said that after the New Year, invite the old lady to come and sit. ”
"Oh......" Daiyu smiled, it turned out that Sun Shaozu is now letting Yingchun be the housekeeper, but can that weak wooden man be the housekeeper?
The two of them said as they walked inside. Unexpectedly, when she bumped into Baochai head-on, Daiyu was stunned, but Baoyu still held her hand, and had no intention of opening it, and asked, "You are not waiting at the old lady's side, what are you doing here?" ”
Baochai said: "I just watched the play at the old lady's place, because there was nothing to do." == Just come out for a walk. ”
Baoyu snorted coldly, helped Daiyu over, but no longer paid attention to Baochai, Daiyu frowned, and waited for Baochai to go far away before saying, "You can't do this?" "Ignoring the situation on the surface?
Baoyu sighed: "Now that there are too many things in our family, not only can she not let me save snacks, but she is so irritable that she ......" said, and sighed again, "I'm happy today." Don't mention this. ”
Between the two of them talking, in the big flower hall that was already in the east, Dujia's mother was crooked on the kang inside, and outside, Xiangyun, Baoqin, Tanchun, Xichun, and the eldest lady over there also came over with Xiuyan.
Daiyu suddenly understood that Baochai must have seen Xiuyan coming and avoided it. Just puzzled. That Baoqin is Xue Zhen's own sister, but why didn't she avoid these?
"Miss Lin is here?" Seeing Daiyu, Mrs. Xing hurriedly stood up and smiled, "Come here and do it, the old lady was still talking just now." That's not the end of it. ”
"I've seen my aunt" Daiyu was busy with the ceremony, and saw the sisters again, looked around, but didn't see Mrs. Wang, and asked, "Why don't you see the second aunt?" ”
"Your second aunt is busy, and there is kung fu coming over there. I still have it over there. has Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law and Feng girl, so I was too lazy to come over to watch the play. Spend a day with your sisters. Mrs. Xing smiled faintly, sent Daiyu in to see Jia's mother, and came out to sit, Baoyu and Li Kun are now in charge of family affairs, so naturally they are not idle, but they are more than a girl to come over to take care of them, but they also go out to greet and be busy.
Tanchun not only sighed: "I used to say that the second brother was busy with nothing, but now...... Really busy."
Xiangyun laughed when he heard this: "He is busy anyway, he is busy when he has anything to do, and he is busy with everything, so let him be busy, let's go happily." ”
"That's right," Tanchun said with a smile.
Xing Xiuyan suddenly asked Daiyu lightly: "Sister Lin, I have been living at home these days, and I heard in a trance that Sister Miaoyu became the imperial concubine, at first I didn't believe it, she is so idle and alone, how can she be so rich and rich?" Later, I heard that this is also the case in the house, so I believed it, but I thought about it, how could she be such a jade and ice person, how could she ......?"
Before the words were finished, Mrs. Xing suddenly coughed hard, Xiuyan suddenly saved, this was a bit rebellious, busy with her mouth, and was about to explain in his words, but Daiyu smiled: "The truth is nothing, she is my sister, but I haven't seen her for many years, and I didn't recognize it before, until recently I accidentally met Your Majesty in Jiangnan, and now he has a scroll by his side, on which a beautiful woman is painted, which is the appearance of Miaoyu." \\\\\\ only to know that his father had sent his sister's portrait into the palace in his early years, and His Majesty fell in love with his sister's portrait when he saw it. I told him that His Majesty was very pleased, and when he returned to the palace, he ordered to take my sister into the palace. ”
"This is also an unexpected fate, but it has made a good story." Tanchun was busy covering up with words.
Daiyu didn't want to talk about this topic either, so she nodded busily, just smiled, looked at Xing Xiuyan, couldn't help but think of some rumors that had come into her ears recently, and asked Mrs. Xing: "Is Aunt reluctant to Sister Xiuyan?" Want to keep her by your side for a few more years? ”
"Silly girl" Mrs. Xing rubbed Daiyu and said with a smile, "I even have the dowry ready, I wish she had married earlier, I don't have to worry about it, it's a thought, it's just ...... Now that the Xue family has such a thing, they were originally waiting for Qin's sister Mei to marry before discussing the marriage of Xiuyan, a girl, but now it ...... But how is it good to make people? ”
Xiuyan listened, stood up and wanted to avoid it, but Mrs. Xing stopped and said: "What's the trouble, the girl grows up, and she will go out of the cabinet after all, I also told the old lady privately a while ago, and now that the girl is also of age, if there is a good one, it is time to talk about it." Tanchun's face was flushed with shame, she bowed her head and was silent, Mrs. Xing sighed: "Although there has been a noble concubine in our family, not all of them are the masters of the mother, there are similar people, the child is good, forget it." ”
Baoqin listened, and her heart was very uncomfortable, Xia Jingui over there blatantly took Xue Zhen to Xia's house for the New Year, Aunt Xue was so angry that she fainted, and now only Xiangling was waiting around, and Baochai has been subjected to Baoyu's cold words, and it is inconvenient to go over to see it often......
Today, Jiafu invited her to come and sit, and now their family lives in a house in Jiafu, and all the food and beverage expenses are Jiafu expenses, although they don't want to see everyone in Jiafu, but they have to come over to flatter one or two.
Daiyu smiled, Xiangyun sighed when she heard this, and thought that she was also divorced, and she was unhappy after all, so she was busy diverting from other topics, so everyone watched the play, and in the evening, Daiyu was about to say goodbye, but it said that the old lady invited Miss Lin.
Daiyu had no choice but to go to Jia's mother's room, and the mandarin duck was picked up.
Zijuan and Snow Goose wanted to follow, but the mandarin duck was busy stopping, shaking his head, Pearl opened the curtain, Daiyu went in, and saw Jia's mother crooked on the kang.
"I've been here for a long time, and I don't deserve my wife to sit?" When Jia Mu saw Daiyu, she got up and smiled.
"Seeing that the ancestor was crooked, my granddaughter didn't dare to disturb." Daiyu was busy laughing.
"Come and sit," Jia Mu beckoned her to sit down on the kang and sighed, "I have something to discuss with you." Daiyu was puzzled, just looked at Mother Jia, Mother Jia sighed and said: "Ethics, you are a girl's family, I shouldn't have told you this, it's just that you have always been smart, not comparable to other girls, and you don't have a parent by your side, if you don't discuss this matter, I can't find someone to talk to." ”
"What does the ancestor want to say?" Daiyu vaguely guessed in her heart, but asked with a smile on her face.
Jia Mu sighed and said, "I was a birthday that year, have you seen Princess Beijing?" ”
Daiyu nodded, not understanding what she was doing when she mentioned Princess Beijing, and said with a smile: "Then Princess Beijing is very kind." ”
Jia Mu nodded and said: "King Beijing is also very good, not only treat people, people are also very good-looking, I told you the truth, that year Princess Beijing came to me in private, she herself is not good, these years have always been childless, very anxious, so I asked me to see, is there a good girl of the right family, order to find a side concubine for King Beijing, although the name is above the side concubine, but because the princess is not good, this girl married, all according to the pomp and circumstance of the main room......"
Daiyu not only secretly said in her heart: "This Princess Beijing is too virtuous, she actually looks for a little wife for her man?" ”
Jia Mu said again: "I didn't care when she said this, but when I had a birthday, she said privately, let me call a few girls from our family out to knock him out, I just thought about it, you are good, but Yun Yatou, Tan Yatou, and Bao Yatou are also considered top-notch, so I called the four of you to come out together." I thought she didn't just like any one......
When Daiyu heard this, she already knew a little in her heart, but she was afraid that the princess of Beijing had taken a fancy to her.
Sure enough, Jia Mu said again: "Not long after the princess went back, she asked someone to come over and say that she had taken a fancy to you...... At that time, I was not happy, I just said that you were sick, and I kept dragging it out. ”
"This ......" Daiyu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Ancestor, you know that you don't want to marry for the time being." ”
"Don't say you don't want to marry, even if you want to marry, I don't dare to marry you to King Beijing." Jia Mu smiled bitterly. The problem is here, the lord above is not easy to mess with, but after all, Daiyu didn't know what he had with him, King Beijing just begged for it, he could be the best, if he didn't, he naturally couldn't complain about Daiyu, but from now on he might have a bad relationship with Jiafu, but it's true.
Therefore, Mother Jia was very embarrassed, and early yesterday morning, the people of the Beijing Palace, Baba, sent a lot of gifts, including those specially for Daiyu......
