Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 209 The Sun Family Proposes Marriage

Besides, after Daiyu went back to Rongguo Mansion, she still rested in Wang Xifeng's small courtyard. She was tired all day, but after dinner, everyone rested.Xueyan snatches Qingwen's errand and sleeps with Daiyu.As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zicuckoo taking a piece of jade from Daiyu's neck. In the dimly lit room, there was a faint glow.Can't help but marvel: "Where did the girl find this treasure, it really opened our eyes!"

Zijuan naturally knew the origin of this piece of jade, so she glanced at Xueyan quickly: "You talk a lot, so I specially asked Qingwen to come in. If you have any important things, you should tell the girl, do you need me to avoid it!" While talking, Juan wrapped the piece of jade with a handkerchief and prepared to put it in the jewelry box of Daiyu's dressing table.After thinking about it, she felt that it was not safe, so she stuffed it under Daiyu's pillow.

Xueyan looked at Zijuan's cautious look, and knew that this jade must not be simple.So he temporarily suppressed his curiosity, thinking about going out for a while to interrogate Zicuckoo.Then he said to Daiyu, "Girl, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Daiyu leaned over the bed casually flipping through a collection of poems, just when she saw Zijuan releasing jade, she narrowed her eyes slightly.I knew that this girl must have known who gave her this jade, so she was so careful.Hearing Xue Yan's question again at this time, she only thought that she was also talking about Tianyou, so she said angrily: "If it's inappropriate to say it, just silence it, what else do you ask!"

Zijuan and Xueyan were taken aback at the same time, and when they saw Daiyu's serious face, they all turned serious.Xueyan knelt down all of a sudden, and said softly: "Even if the girl is angry with me, I still have to say this. If the girl beats or scolds me, I won't have any complaints!" Daiyu watched quietly Xueyan still didn't speak.Zijuan also knelt down: "Girl, but did we do something wrong?"

Daiyu looked at Zijuan without much emotion, and asked calmly, "Don't you know what you did wrong?" Zijuan looked at Daiyu carefully, knowing that it might have something to do with the eavesdropping today. .But now how dare she say this, she hurriedly said to Xueyan: "Young lady is angry with me, you can say what you have to say quickly." The girl is angry, it's because we girls don't take good care of her. My sister is a first-class girl, and I'm not, so no matter what, I can't absolve myself of the blame. After I finished speaking, I immediately went back to the herb garden to get ten boards to eliminate the girl. Heart wrath."

Xueyan has always been stubborn, she is the girl who has been by Daiyu's side since the beginning.Now she is Daiyu's half housekeeper again.Even if she went to pick up the board, no one would dare to fight.But Daiyu still felt distressed, and said angrily: "I dare you to be beaten. I won't be angry anymore. I'm such a villain, so get up quickly."

Xueyan knew that Daiyu had calmed down, although she smiled on her face, she was quite puzzled in her heart.She took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "I knew the girl was not willing to let me be beaten. She said it to the girl on purpose." Seeing Xueyan's naughty look, Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "Zicuckoo , give her a good repair, and see if she dares to talk nonsense in the future!"

Zijuan responded with a smile, Xueyan looked upright, and said: "I heard that today I am in Qingxu Temple. The noble concubine wants to say goodbye to the girl. When I went out with Mrs. Chen a few days ago, I met a member of the Sun family. The lady in charge. The lady in charge and Mrs. Chen had known each other before, so they babbled a few words. I listened from the sidelines. It was the second room of the Sun family who released a group of maids beside the young master, saying that there were too many Yingyingyanyans, Affect their young master's study."

Daiyu put down her collection of poems and looked at Xueyan: "Sun Xuebin?" Xueyan nodded, "I don't know if the girl remembers that this Sun Xuebin once met us at Fahua Temple, and even rescued Miss Bao." Daiyu said nothing. Missed.But Zijuan frowned slightly, and said softly: "Miss, you still remember. On the day we sent Second Grandma out of the house, I once told Miss that I saw Yinger and gave the young servant of the Sun family a letter. Later, Ao Jian The gentleman inquired, that boy is Sun Xuebin's confidant, I thought it had nothing to do with us, so I didn't go back to the girl."

Daiyu let out a long breath, and said to Xueyan: "I know, don't mention this matter again!" Xueyan suddenly took Zijuan's hand, and said softly to Daiyu: "We are all with the girl. I'm single-minded, and I sincerely hope that the girl will be well. I only hope that the girl will not..." Xue Yan didn't finish speaking, and sighed heavily.

Daiyu was actually very moved, and said with a smile, "Okay, I know it in my heart. I'm tired, and you should go to bed early!" Zijuan and Xueyan waited for Daiyu to lie down, and blew out the candles in the room.

Daiyu lay on the bed, but did not fall asleep.All kinds of chaotic things today appeared in front of her one scene after another, and finally they were all frozen in that garden. Qi Tianyou looked at her face with a smile.

Daiyu shook her head vigorously, and reached out to touch the piece of warm jade.Even though she was wearing a handkerchief, she could still see the jade emitting a little light.Daiyu stared blankly, and then slowly fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, all the girls unanimously complained that they were ill and did not participate in the second day's Ping An Jiao. Wang Xifeng looked enviously at Daiyu eating breakfast leisurely, resigned to her fate, got into the carriage, and went to the theater with Jia Mu.

All the girls couldn't help laughing at Wang Xifeng's appearance. Not long after breakfast, Yingchun came to teach Qiao how to play chess, and Daiyu watched from the side bored.A large pot of roses was placed in a corner of the room, filling the room with the fragrance.Zicuckoo and Siqi sketched patterns together, occasionally saying a few words.

Not long after, Nanny Song brought some big peaches with the little girl, and saw that the peaches were all as big as the mouth of a bowl, so juicy and juicy that people would be greedy just looking at them.Daiyu smiled: "Where did Madam get these peaches, so rare?"

Nanny Song saluted Daiyu with a smile: "Girl, you might as well make a guess." Daiyu pouted slightly, "How could I have guessed that it must have grown in our village. Ah, I see, I'm sure It was sent by Grandma Liu, and last year, Grandma Liu even said that she wanted to win a piece of Taoyuan!"

Nanny Song smiled: "Miss, you didn't guess right this time. The peaches from Grandma Liu's place have indeed been delivered. It's good. Compared with this, it's still a bit worse!" Yingchun also laughed at this time: "Mom Hurry up and tell me, don't test us."

Just as Nanny Song was about to speak, she heard a voice behind her and said, "As far as I know, these are probably the peaches from the royal peach grove in the east, commonly known as Okubo." Daiyu and Yingchun looked curiously at the same time, Mrs. Wang accompanied a woman in her 40s into the room and hurriedly stood up to salute.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "This is Mrs. Zhen Guogong, she is my natal cousin. You call her aunt!" Yingchun and Daiyu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Auntie!" The wife of Zhen Guogong smiled happily and stretched out her hand Pulling back Daiyu and Yingchun, she praised: "Yesterday I heard Mrs. Liu say that all our daughters are outstanding, and seeing them today really deserves their reputation."

Mrs. Wang naturally heard about yesterday's events, and asked: "Why didn't my cousin go to join in the fun yesterday?" Mrs. Zhen Guo said: "You don't know me, and I am the worst at socializing on such occasions on weekdays. If not, I will come to you today to see the true faces of these girls!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Since this is the case, I will order someone to set up a banquet in the garden, and call the girls to come over in a while. The yard here is small, so as not to wrong my cousin!" Mrs. Zhen Guo said: "You have so many rules, you are so boring Yes, just as you said, but I want to talk to Miss Lin first."

Daiyu sighed in her heart, but still smiling, she and Yingchun sat under Mrs. Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Zhen Guo said: "Your elder brother enters the palace to compete in martial arts. Are you used to living here?" Daiyu replied respectfully: "I am used to it. My grandmother and second aunt take good care of me!"

Mrs. Zhen Guo said: "That's true. I heard that you used to live here before. Your brother is also a well-behaved person. He knows that there are no elders in the family, so he won't let you live alone as a girl. No wonder our master I often praise him too."

Daiyu felt that what the lady said was really harsh, and she felt a little uneasy.But still cautiously replied: "I thanked you on behalf of my brother!" The wife of Zhen Guogong seemed very satisfied with Daiyu's actions, and smiled a little: "How old is this year?"

Daiyu's heart moved, and she said softly: "I'm thirteen this year." Mrs. Li Guogong nodded, and said to Mrs. Wang with a smile: "It's a good age, but did you ever promise it?" Mrs. Wang said with a smile: " This child was just out of filial piety at the beginning of the year, and Hao Rui entered the palace for a martial arts competition, so it was actually delayed. I also often told the old lady that Miss Lin came from a noble family, so it would be better to talk about marriage as soon as possible, but I haven't seen him yet. What's the matter with my brother!"

Daiyu couldn't help clenching her fists when she heard the two talk about their marriage.Want to plug in, but it is too unruly.She doesn't mind being said by others, but she can't help but care about her brother's reputation.Zijuan, Xueyan and others also pricked up their ears at this time, waiting for Mrs. Zhen Guo's next words.

I only heard Mrs. Zhen Guogong said: "This is Hao Rui's negligence. We, the daughters of the Duke's family, are thirteen or fourteen years old and still not discussing marriage. It is unreasonable anyway. When the Xiande Concubine entered the palace, That's about it!"

Mrs. Wang nodded: "Who says it's not!" Mrs. Zhen Guogong said again: "I have a candidate here. No matter the child's appearance, education, family background, everything is first-class, and Miss Lin is really good. What a beautiful woman!"

Mrs. Wang ouched, and said with a smile: "It's my cousin who has the heart to help this girl. She is better than us aunts. It's a pity that this child's marriage, I am afraid that our old lady and our master will both It’s impossible to do it.”

Mrs. Zhen Guo said: "Of course I know, that's why I sent a letter to Miss Lin first, you good aunts, let Miss Lin find out, as long as Miss Lin is willing, it is possible that Brother Lin will return the favor can object."

Mrs. Wang seemed to have suddenly realized and nodded: "It's this ceremony, and my cousin thought it through. I don't know which family's son it is. When I talk to the master, I will be able to find out clearly."

Mrs. Zhen Guo said: "You must be familiar with this person, he is the Tanhualang of the Sun family, Sun Xuebin!"
