Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 201

Besides, the messy night in the Grand View Garden did not cause any disturbance in the Rongguo Mansion. When Daiyu woke up the next day, Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and the others had dismissed a group of maids in the Grand View Garden in a snappy manner, and reported what happened yesterday. It was due to the troubles caused by the girls, and they quickly whitewashed the peace.

Daiyu was a little surprised to hear Ping'er's brief explanation of the morning's affairs, and looked at Wang Xifeng in disbelief: "Is this the case?" Wang Xifeng smiled sarcastically: "I'm afraid it is."

"Then the assassin wants to kill Baoyu and don't pursue it? Should Baoyu and others continue to live in the garden?" Daiyu was still a little confused about this way of handling things, and even a little confused about the benefits of Jia's way of doing things.

Wang Xifeng smiled: "Silly girl, things in this world don't have to be divided into right and wrong. For the current Rongguo Mansion, there can be no problems in the garden of the concubine Xiande, and the girls who are likely to fly on the branches can't If something goes wrong, other things can be ignored for the time being.”

"Fly up the branch?" Daiyu was even more puzzled.Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Could it be that you haven't heard of it yet, this time the Qingxu Guan's safety ceremony is not as simple as it seems on the surface. If my guess is correct, you may very well be able to meet your brother."

Daiyu was even more surprised now: "Brother? Aren't they all kept in the palace and not allowed to go out at will?" Wang Xifeng nodded with a smile, but did not elaborate further.Daiyu didn't ask any more questions, she was really tired after making a fuss all night.So he excused himself from being inconvenient, and after greeting Jia Mu, he nestled in Wang Xifeng's small courtyard and didn't go out for a step.

When Nanny Song came in with tea, she saw Daiyu leaning against the window, looking out of the window in a daze, with a look of loneliness on her face.Nanny Song sighed softly: "Miss, are you still thinking about what happened yesterday?"

Daiyu smiled slightly: "Sit down quickly, mother, I couldn't sleep well after tossing around midnight yesterday. Why didn't I rest for a while?" Mother Song said: "The old slave is not tired, but the girl doesn't look very good, but she is still there. Mind what happened yesterday?"

Daiyu sighed: "It's just that there are some things I can't figure out for a while." Nanny Song held Daiyu's hand kindly: "Miss, I would like to talk to this old servant." Daiyu hesitated for a moment, but soon felt relieved. "Do you know what's going on with that girl Bihen? Grandmother and the others define this matter in such a way. Is that girl about to be kicked out of the house?"

Only then did Nanny Song know that Daiyu cared about Bihen's affairs.For Daiyu, I am afraid that if she does not kill Boren, Boren will die because of her.Although Daiyu knew that she had done nothing wrong in this matter, it was still too cruel for a girl as beautiful as Bihen.

Nanny Song didn't want to hide it from Daiyu either.He said softly: "Bihen was beaten fifty times this morning, and now she is thrown in a firewood shed outside the second gate. I'm afraid she won't be able to last much longer." Daiyu looked at Nanny Song.Sighing: "Sure enough, as I thought, the second aunt will not allow her to leave the house alive."

Nanny Song patted Daiyu's hand lightly, as if comforting her daughter, and said softly: "I heard from Zijuan that the girl has seen that Bihen's brochure. She must also know what Bihen did. Things. These little girls, seeing the magnificent life in this garden, being a girl inside is better than being a master outside, so naturally they are more arrogant than the other, and they want to climb the golden branch. Bihen is just She paid the price for the path she chose, and it has nothing to do with the girl."

But Daiyu didn't seem to listen to Nanny Song's words.She just asked softly: "Can Baoyu go to see her? No matter what, they are considered husband and wife!" Nanny Song shook her head: "Second Master Bao didn't go to see her, but let the attacker take Bihen's belongings It was sent to Bihen's home. It can be regarded as an explanation to her family."

"How come?" Daiyu looked at Nanny Song in confusion.

"The girl is still young, and the master protects these things well, so it's normal for her to be hard to accept for a while. But the girl should know, not to mention in the Rongguo Mansion, but in an ordinary wealthy family. At Baoyu's age, people around There are more or less girls in the house. Bihen is like this. Then there must be other girls in Yihong Courtyard. Although these things are not made public, they are also tacitly approved by the old lady and the second wife."

Daiyu looked at Nanny Song's unsurprised face, and asked suspiciously: "Then Nanny is saying that all of this is Bihen's fault?" Nanny Song said: "This world is so bad. To be fair, a man can have three wives and four concubines, but a woman must be single. This is what I want to tell the girl today, and it is also something that the girl will have to face in the future."

Daiyu looked at Nanny Song, hesitant to speak.She wondered if she, a girl, could discuss these issues with the foster mother.But she was very confused. Regarding these issues, she had never been taught how to face them, let alone how to distinguish them.

Nanny Song naturally understood Daiyu's concerns, and said with a smile, "Miss, do you know why the old slave has stopped teaching the girl recently, and has never lived with the girl in Jia's mansion?" Daiyu said to Nanny Song Mammy suddenly changed the subject, a little puzzled, but she still said, "It's to accompany Xiang'er in the herb garden."

Nanny Song smiled and said: "Young lady is right or wrong. It is one thing to be with the second girl, and the more important aspect is that the uncle gave this old slave a task." task?"

Nanny Song said with a smile: "Yes, the uncle has entrusted this old slave with a very important task, and that task is to find out for the girl's future husband-in-law." How to answer the call.

Nanny Song continued: "Young lady is already thirteen this year. According to the rules of our Daqi, girls are usually married between fourteen and fourteen. Although the uncle is wholeheartedly thinking about keeping the girl for a few more years, but with our family's reputation today, the young lady is too old. Marriage will be considered by the husband's family as not noble enough. So the matter of choosing a husband for the girl has been placed on the desk of the uncle early."

"Mom, I don't want to marry!" Daiyu said softly, for some reason, she felt powerless when she thought of leaving home and her brother to an unfamiliar place.Just like she stepped into this huge Rongguo Mansion alone that day.

"What the girl said is stupid. No matter how much the uncle loves the girl, he can only accompany you for a few short years. For the next few decades of life, the girl will spend hand in hand with her future husband. In the future, the girl will not only To take care of your own affairs, you also need to take care of the husband-in-law's family affairs properly, which is also the painstaking effort of the uncle to let the girl start housekeeping early." Song Nanny took out a booklet from her arms: "This is After a period of time, the old servant secretly visited the candidate whom the uncle likes. After getting a general idea, the girl might as well take a look."

Daiyu stared at the booklet, and asked softly, "Can I participate in these things myself?" Nanny Song put the booklet on Daiyu's bedside: "Accordingly, marriage is the order of parents, most couples in this world are I haven't met each other before the worship. But the uncle means that the girl's marriage is a major issue, and she still needs to listen to the girl's opinion. In this matter, the girl doesn't have to be shy or twitchy. Just look at each other openly! "

Daiyu didn't look through the booklet, but suddenly realized: "No wonder Sister Bao is so nervous, Brother Tianyou, if she doesn't get married again, it's just like the mother-in-law said, she will be picked on by her husband's family."

When Nanny Song heard Daiyu mentioning Baochai, she snorted, "You can ignore Miss Bao's actions. Although I admire her courage to fight for herself, I don't agree with those actions."

Daiyu looked at Nanny Song puzzledly: "Why? Although I privately felt that Sister Bao's behavior was a bit out of proportion, but according to what Nanny said, isn't she working hard for her decades of life? "

Nanny Song smiled and said: "Silly girl, how can marriage be based on wishful thinking. Although the old saying goes that high marriage is low, but it still needs to be well-matched. Miss Bao's heart is too high, to pursue those unrealistic things, but It's just an egg hitting a rock."

Daiyu sighed: "Yes, my brother also said that. If you really follow Brother Tianyou as Sister Bao, you will probably only be a concubine. Is it worthwhile for Sister Bao to plan for this concubine?"

Nanny Song bought a cup of tea for Daiyu.He said softly: "Miss, why bother to worry about other people's affairs. In the eyes of this old slave, Miss Bao is very unwise. Master Tianyou is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among people, but she can't be a phoenix among people. .Although the Xue family is also known as the four major families, it is just that outsiders are praising them. The identity of merchants is in front of her. If she does not face it, it will only be an endless tragedy. "

"According to Mammy, then Baoyu is really the best choice for Sister Bao!" Daiyu said softly: "After all, they have a golden and jade fate. The second aunt is also Sister Bao's aunt. Will not treat her badly."

Nanny Song saw that Daiyu didn't seem to be reluctant to say this, and she couldn't help letting go of the little worry that had always been in her heart: "Does the girl think that the second master Bao and Miss Bao are suitable?"

Daiyu nodded, but immediately shook her head: "I'm afraid Sister Bao didn't like Baoyu, that's just Aunt Xue's thoughts. Besides, grandma might not agree." Nanny Song nodded: "Miss is right about that. Extremely, the old matriarch was the first person in Bao Erye's favor, and the girl must have known it. The old slave only told the girl that the girl is now the daughter of Cheng Enhou, the sister of the champion Hou, and her status is extremely honorable. The old matriarch If you think about it, your brother will definitely not agree."

Daiyu nodded, she knew that Nanny Song was telling her that her identity was different from when she entered Rongguo Mansion alone in her early years.Even at that time, my father had the intention of marrying the two families, but now it is impossible.Thinking of the day-to-day companionship between herself and Baoyu in those years, Daiyu only felt that it seemed like something in her previous life, distant and unreal.Looking back now, I can't remember Baoyu's appearance at that time.In her memory, Baoyu was still very beautiful at that time, not the dandy like now.

Nanny Song obviously didn't want Daiyu to think about these things, she said with a smile: "Among the people that my master let this old servant look at this time, one of them is the number one scholar, and this old slave looks pretty good." Mammy's words attracted her attention, and Nanny Song continued: "It's not that he is so outstanding, but his family environment is really good. There are no parents, no brothers, and only a younger sister who is waiting to be married. If it really works, Once a girl is married, she can be the head of the house, and she doesn't have to set rules in front of her mother-in-law."

Although Daiyu still felt that her face was a little hot, she still stared at Nanny Song with wide eyes, and said softly after a while: "Madam Song is afraid that I will be wronged when I marry, and you and brother are not going to help me get married?" Look at the early death of parents!"

Nanny Song burst out laughing: "Girls always hit the nail on the head like this. Although the uncle also said that only such a family is good. It doesn't matter if the family is not rich. Our Lin family has family property and wealth, and we can give it to you. But Mr. But this slave thinks that such a family is a little bit unlucky, and it will be difficult to spread out in the future. According to this old slave, the best husband-in-law for the girl is Master Tianyou."

Now Daiyu was really stunned, she stared at Nanny Song without blinking, and didn't react for a long while.

Seeing Daiyu's shocked look, Nanny Song continued with a smile, "Master Tianyou's martial arts and literary talents are all first-class. Although the imperial examinations were full of turmoil back then, no one knows now that An Xiuyuan's No. [-] Scholar This place was just picked, if it wasn't for the fact that Master Tianyou's life experience was not made public, he must have won the third prize and amazed the world." Nanny Song suddenly changed her voice: "However, the uncle did not list Master Tianyou on the list, Let the old slave visit."

Daiyu didn't know what to say at this time, in her mind, Qi Tianyou was her other brother, whom she respected and trusted.At this moment, someone suddenly told her that this brother might accompany her for the rest of her life, and she really couldn't turn the corner.Although she also thought that Qi Tianyou was very good, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, weird.

Nanny Song didn't want Daiyu to say anything, but continued to analyze: "This old slave guesses that the uncle may have scruples about the current identity of Young Master Tianyou."

"Identity?" Daiyu was even more puzzled.

Nanny Song nodded: "Yes, Young Master Tianyou is now the prince and the emperor's son. He will definitely be involved in the court's battles in the future. No matter whether it is to go further, or to be an idle prince, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the girl. , It’s all too much to worry about. The old slave guesses that the uncle would rather let the girl marry into an ordinary and wealthy family and live in peace.”

Daiyu seemed to understand what Nanny Song said, but she didn't seem to understand it very well.After being stunned for a while, he said: "Brother Tianyou is just like my elder brother, Mammy, stop talking." Nanny Song nodded with a smile.No matter what Lin Haorui thinks, in Nanny Song's eyes, as early as when Qi Tianyou escorted Daiyu home, she felt that the child was someone who could be entrusted to her for life.
