Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Chapter 234

Zhao Ruli patted the dust on his hands and said, "You are blackmailing!"

The savage man immediately glared angrily and said, "Blood spewing, brothers, go!"

Suddenly a group of officers and soldiers rushed out from the corner of the street, led by Xiaoer from Gaosheng Tea House.It turned out that when Zhao Ruli decided to take care of this matter, he had already revealed his identity, and ordered Xiaoer to take his handwriting to call the nearest officers and soldiers to guard against these unruly people.

Seeing the officers and soldiers, the group of people were a little confused.

Zhao Ruli stood tall and said methodically, "This pile of broken porcelain is from the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty, but judging from the fragments, it is definitely not one porcelain vase, but three fragments of porcelain vases."

The brazen man immediately corrected his words: "I remembered wrongly, there are indeed three porcelain vases."

Zhao Ruli looked at him with condensed eyes: "Three? You won't remember it wrong again this time?"

The savage man: "It's not wrong, there are indeed three."

Zhao Ruli ordered the officers and soldiers to show the fragments to the onlookers, and said, "Look carefully, everyone. From the texture, color, and enamel, it is obvious that these fragments are from two utensils. It is neither one nor three. And sorting out the broken porcelain is nothing more than putting together two complete porcelain vases, what does this mean?"

After a moment of silence, a voice came from the crowd: "There are broken porcelain in the carrying case, and they are specially used to blackmail people!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and they all cursed and accused the gang of tyrants.

Coincidentally, a few young people came out of the teahouse, pointed at them and said, "This is the group of people who specially picked this time to blackmail the candidates who came to rush for the exam. A few days ago, a fellow of mine was extorted 50 taels of silver by him. The money in the store is gone, it was collected by his family and elders, and now he can only rely on old friends to help."

The scolding became even worse, and several Confucian scholars who were deceived came to four cars.

In a moment of embarrassment, the savage man snatched the suitcase, rushed out of the crowd and was about to run away. Zhao Ruli immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to catch up and take it down. He showed his identity and said that he would send his group to the Yamen for interrogation. The scholar said: "Recently, many of them have suffered untold sufferings from them. My lord must punish them severely!"

Zhao Ruli said: "Definitely!"

Zhou Hang and Daiyu came forward to thank them, Zhao Ruli said in a gentle and humble way: "You two young masters are serious, and it is my duty to punish the villains. I can't make Changping under the rule, but I am almost exhausted. The official is ashamed."

After a few more polite words, Zhao Ruli escorted a group of brutish men away, and Daiyu Zhouhang went to the East Palace without delay.Just in time for lunch, Koizumi prepared a table of sumptuous meals, dismissed all the waiters, and formally greeted Daiyu.

Koizumi went to Daiyu's side and smiled, "My servant will ask someone to prepare some fruit for you to eat."

Daiyu looked at him and said, "Just watch and prepare, just don't be too sweet."

Koizumi obeyed and left, and Zhou Hang gave her some of Daiyu's favorite dishes.Daiyu looked up at him, smiled, and lowered her head to eat.Just after eating, Koizumi came in with a box containing six kinds of exquisite and light fruits. Daiyu waved her hand and said, "I just ate, and I don't have any appetite right now. Let's put it away for now, and then eat it later." eat."

So I went to the lotus pond with Zhou Hang, it was late spring, although the lotus in the pond hadn't bloomed, but the green leaves had grown, almost covering the lotus pond, it was really beautiful.The corridor on the lotus pond is also very good. In the center is a stone pavilion made of bluestone, which is simple and melodious.

Zhou Hang looked sideways at Daiyu, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Daiyu said: "It's all very good, it's exactly the same as the drawings, it's exactly what I imagined, it's hard for those craftsmen to be so careful."

Zhou Hang took the opportunity to ask for credit: "I can stare at it every day, and follow your drawings every brick and tile."

Daiyu pursed her lips, took a step forward, sat on the stone bench next to Zhou Hang, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your trouble."

Zhou Hang turned sideways, propped his arms on the stone table, and said with a smile: "We got married in June, which is the time when the lotus is in full bloom. I know you like lotus, so hurry up and let them plant it. When you get married You can see as many as you want. You can also pick lotus pods and make lotus leaf and lotus seed porridge, I remember you like to eat this. By the way, I will take you to the main hall to have a look, you will live there in the future."

It was evening when Daiyu returned to the mansion, Zhou Hang sent her outside the gate, and had to send her off again, Daiyu let him go back.

Back in her small courtyard, Hui Er winked at her anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Daiyu asked.

"Master is in the house!" Hui'er leaned into Daiyu's ear and said, "I know that you went out without permission."

Daiyu let out an "oh", and lifted the curtain to go in. Naturally, Hui'er and others did not dare to follow.Lin Ruhai knew who Daiyu went out with and where he went without asking Lin Ruhai, and he didn't want to ask, as long as Daiyu returned safely.

"Daddy, this tea is cold, my daughter will make you a new bowl." Daiyu touched the tea bowl and said.

As he spoke, he refilled the teapot, fanned it on the stove, and brewed it again.Lin Ruhai took the tea bowl, put it on the table, and said: "In more than three months, you will leave the cabinet. Recently, there are many visitors to congratulate you. Yu'er, you should go out with His Royal Highness. There are too many people outside, so it's uncertain." bump into someone."

Daiyu said: "Dad, don't worry, my daughter won't go out for these three months."

Daiyu did what she said, and she really didn't go out for three months.

On the sixteenth day of the sixth month, Daiyu got married in red makeup with infinite beauty.The streets and alleys were full of people, and everyone said that they had never seen such a grand wedding in decades.Li Zhao sent two princes to accompany Zhou Hang to welcome the bride. The guard of honor was added to the guard of honor for the prince's wedding, which was only two less than that of the emperor's wedding.And decreed to add sixteen ceremonial guards for the crown princess, second only to the queen and surpassing the imperial concubine.In other words, Daiyu will become the most respected concubine since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, surpassing the noble concubine in theory.

How many women in the palace are jealous, but the first prince and the two concubines of the second prince are heartbroken.

Daiyu didn't know these things, she bid farewell to Lin Ruhai with tears in her eyes, and when she was sitting in the big red sedan chair, she still hadn't recovered from her emotions.Thinking of his father's tearful eyes when he left, seeing the familiar courtyard getting farther and farther away, he felt oppressed and out of breath.For a moment, she wanted to rush into her father's arms desperately and tell him that she didn't want to leave home or the family she depended on.But she couldn't, so many people watching the ceremony, so many eyes, so many strict etiquette rules, even if it was just an extra step, someone might talk about it behind her back for months.

Sitting in this revered position, like a bodhisattva in a temple, you must maintain a solemn and precious appearance, and you cannot act like a daughter.Everyone is looking forward to this position, but she doesn't care much about it. If it wasn't for marrying Zhou Hang, she would not want to be the princess.

Lifting the hijab, seeing Daiyu's reddish eye circles, Zhou Hang frowned, his eyes showed a look of pity, "Yu'er..." stepped forward and shook Daiyu's hand, it's June day, she His fingertips were cold, which made him feel even more distressed.

"His Royal Highness and Empress Dowager, please perform the concubine ceremony!" shouted the nun holding the ceremony.

The female officer handed over the cup, and the two drank it.

Then the nun holding the ceremony said a few more auspicious words and then withdrew.The two sat together on the wedding bed, Zhou Hang shook Daiyu's hand, turned his head, and looked at her with a smile, his eyes as warm as water.Daiyu was embarrassed by his look, she lowered her head, and Zhou Hang asked her, "Are you tired?"

Daiyu pointed to the phoenix crown and said: "It's too heavy, my neck is so stiff that I can't even turn my head."

Zhou Hang said, "I'll take it off for you."

The phoenix crown was heavy and cumbersome, and it took Zhou Hang a lot of effort to take it off. Daiyu smiled and said, "It's light on the head." As she said that, she lay down on the bed, turned over, Zhou Hang leaned over, and said: " Does your neck hurt? Let me rub it for you."

Daiyu nodded, and Zhou Hang held her in his arms, pinching her neck skillfully with his fingers.

Neither of them spoke, and the air was filled with soft warmth.

Suddenly, Daiyu said: "I miss my daddy, I was very reluctant to leave today, my daddy's eyes are red, I really want to run back, you know, Brother Hang..." At the end, she started to cry.

Zhou Hang touched Daiyu's face and said, "Silly girl, you still call me Brother Hang, you and I are husband and wife."

Daiyu said, "I'm used to it, and I can't change it for a while."

Zhou Hang gathered Daiyu's sideburns together, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, you can call me whatever you want. Don't worry about my father-in-law, I have sent someone to take care of it." Yes. You miss your father-in-law, we can go back anytime. Today is our auspicious day, don't think about anything else, okay?"

"Yes." Daiyu nodded.

Suddenly, a maidservant brought a rosewood box.

The heavy curtains are slowly falling, and the dragon and phoenix red candles are shining brightly. The whole dormitory is covered by a piece of orange-red candlelight, which is graceful and unreal.Daiyu's eyes fell on the exquisite red sandalwood box carved with dragon and phoenix, "What is that?" She stretched out her hand to get it.

"Don't look." Zhou Hang wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Daiyu put the box on her lap and lifted the lid.

After looking at it, Daiyu pushed the box away, and couldn't help but blushed from her cheeks to her ears.

Zhou Hang closed the box and went to pull Daiyu, but Daiyu covered her face with a handkerchief and ignored him.Zhou Hang lay sideways on the bed, patted her shoulder with one hand, and said, "I told you not to let you see it, but you have to see it yourself. I'm really embarrassed now. It's really nothing. Married women will have to watch it sooner or later." I know. I just thought that you are still young, and you don’t need to know those things too early, so I told your foster mothers not to teach you the "way of husband and wife" first, because I was afraid that you would be thin-skinned and would not know those things if you knew them. Be comfortable with me and don't want to..."

Speaking of this, he paused and didn't continue, but said: "You don't see anything now, you have to experience it, it's just a matter of time. Besides, between you and me, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." .Okay, don’t cover your face, I’ve just lifted the hijab once, don’t you want me to do it again?”

As she spoke, she went to remove Daiyu's veil, and just as she stretched out her hand, Daiyu suddenly sat up.

"Aren't you awkward?" Zhou Hang smiled and wrapped his arms around Zhou Hang's waist, and kissed her reddish cheeks, Daiyu's cheeks became even redder, her body became hotter, and her heart beat faster.

"Why don't you let nanny teach me? Don't you plan to have a husband and wife relationship with me?" Biting her lips, Daiyu looked at Zhou Hang, frowned, and asked shyly.

"Of course not!" Fearing that Daiyu might misunderstand, Zhou Hang hastily explained: "You are only 15 years old, and it is not good for your health to engage in husband and wife affairs too early. I want to wait until you are 16 years old. This thing is not suitable for you to read now. I will accept it first." Get up." So he couldn't help but put away the red sandalwood box and ordered Koizumi to put it in the warehouse.

Daiyu saw the box again on the night of her 16th birthday more than seven months later.

Daiyu already had a premonition that this night might be different from the previous 200 nights.For more than seven months, she and Zhou Hang shared the same bed, waking up in the middle of the night, always with a hard iron on top of it. Although no one taught her, she was no longer a blank sheet of paper before, and she had seen red sandalwood boxes Huanxi Buddha in the book, more or less realized something.

After taking a bath, Daiyu was only wearing a thin pajamas, with the gorgeous obscene clothes faintly showing through.Zhou Hang also had a bath and was only wearing pajamas.Daiyu lifted the curtain, and felt Zhou Hang's eyes glued to her, hot and aggressive, as if he wanted to see inside through the gauze.For some reason, she was a little scared and subconsciously wanted to withdraw.

But Zhou Hang didn't give her this chance. He grabbed her so hard that her wrist hurt.

He pulled her to the bed, hugged her on his lap, and showed her the contents of the rosewood box.Only then did she realize that it was not just a Huanxi Buddha with a man and a woman naked and hugging each other, but also an ingenious mechanism inside.As soon as the mechanism is opened, the men and women in the embrace will pump and send, with clear movements.A total of six pairs of twelve happy Buddhas represent twelve different postures.In addition to this, there are many pictures, books.Daiyu hastily glanced at it for a few times and then refused to look again, her face flushed with embarrassment.

But Zhou Hang didn't let her go, and forced her to read them one by one.

"I don't want others to teach you, I just want to teach you myself." Zhou Hang said, biting her ear.

Feeling the hard object under her body and the heat in her ears, Daiyu's legs couldn't help trembling slightly, her whole body was sore and weak. She couldn't remember when Zhou Hang's hand came in, or when the gauze on her body was taken off. .Recalling this day many years later, she still feels like a dream, painful and unforgettable.

Daiyu had a dream all night. In the dream, she seemed to have turned into a wisp of green smoke, entangled with another wisp of green smoke, swaying with the wind, until she floated to the nine heavens.That feeling is wonderful, the heart is soft, and the body is also soft.

Opening his eyes, he heard a gentle voice that seemed to be able to pinch water: "Are you awake?"

Daiyu let out a "hmm" and wanted to sit up, but just as her back left the bed, her waist felt sore and she almost fell off.Fortunately, Zhou Hang had sharp eyesight and quick hands, so he hurriedly reached out to embrace Daiyu, carefully letting him lean into his arms.

"I was tired of you last night, blame me for not being restrained." He said, "Why don't you let the imperial doctor come and take a look?"

"No!" Daiyu hurriedly said.Because of this reason, she was called an imperial doctor, and she will not see anyone in the future.Thinking about it, he glared at Zhou Hang. Zhou Hang couldn't help but feel a little shaken by her shy and annoyed stare, but he had no choice but to hold back.

"Then enter the space and soak in the Lingquan." He said.

So the two entered the space.Zhou Hang wanted to take off Daiyu's clothes, but Daiyu was thin-skinned and insisted on refusing, and was afraid that the maids from outside would come in, so he had to go out of the space to deal with it.

When Daiyu came out again, her spirit was much better.

Zhou Hang had already picked out a brand new white silk bamboo leaf jacket with a stand-up collar and royal blue homemade brocade robe, and said, "Yu'er, I'll change it for you."

Daiyu refused: "Call Hui'er and Xueyan." She brought a total of twelve dowry maids. Waiting for the girl, the treatment is not low.

Zhou Hang put his arms around Daiyu's waist from behind, and whispered in her ear: "I'll just serve you, what can I ask them to do? Besides...they are all Yunying girls who have not left the court, seeing the marks all over your body , it’s not good after all. You passed out yesterday, and I hugged you to bathe and change clothes. I haven’t seen anything about your body, so there’s nothing to be shy about.”

Daiyu elbowed him, and said angrily, "What are you talking about!"

Zhou Hang clutched his stomach and said "Ouch", Daiyu hurriedly turned her head and asked worriedly, "Is it too hard? I didn't use my strength..."

Zhou Hang burst out laughing, picked up Daiyu and put her on the bed, and wanted to take off her clothes, but Daiyu refused, pulling them both down on the bed.Daiyu clutched the skirt desperately, but Zhou Hang couldn't pull it off, so he went to scratch her itchy spot.Daiyu was most afraid of this, so she rolled around laughing and pulling Zhou Hang, and the two rolled into a ball.Although Daiyu desperately defended her, Zhou Hang forced her to change her clothes.

Hui'er and Xueyan were holding the washing utensils in their hands, listening to the movement inside, they were all smiling.
