[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu

Chapter 137

After returning to the room, the queen rested for a while, lazily flipped through the poetry collection, lazily drank some rose dew, lazily ate two pieces of snacks, lazily lay down for a while, and lazily got up to prepare for dinner.Suddenly remembered, ah, didn't I just want to tell Daiyu that there was something wrong with her attitude towards Yao Zhenren?How did you forget it in the blink of an eye? "Zhaorong, ask Daiyu to come here."

Lady Zhaorong immediately went over: "Eldest Princess, Your Majesty invites you to go over."

Daiyu was reading Lu Fangweng's collection of poems, and on the table next to her was a beautiful Chinese cabbage with white leaves and green, round, shiny, and dewdrops. How good is this cabbage?At first glance, I thought it was carved from jadeite.Just now she was still thinking about what to do with this cabbage, after thinking about it, she somehow ran to read the poetry collection, closed the book and said: "Yes. Let's go." Before going out, she hesitated for a moment , picked up the cabbage on the table and walked over.

The queen was thinking in her heart: I am not very willing for Yao Zhenren to marry Daiyu, but I don't want to cut off his love right now. Looking at the young children in Beijing, there is really no one whose character and appearance can match her. Yao Zhenren.It's cute that he flattered and flattered him, but it's not good to run out crying, very irresponsible and worthless.Alas, after much deliberation, Daiyu should be enslaved to him now, not far or near, and wait for her to grow up before choosing.

But you can't just bully him and make him cry because of his low stature. You haven't decided whether to really want him. What if you regret it later?It's easy to make people sad, but it's not easy to do after being sad. Don't you see that the current emperor and the Supreme Emperor appear to be father and son, monarchs and ministers, but in fact they are in the same situation.

She was thinking like this, and she decided what she wanted to tell Daiyu, so how should she say it?

You can't say bluntly, 'baby, you haven't made up your mind yet, catch him first, make a decision slowly, and then say' that's not okay!

This is the truth, but it cannot be said directly!

As a result, when she looked up, she saw the beautiful little loli wearing beautiful new clothes, a short jacket with dark green bamboo leaves and a light yellow skirt, walking in with an emerald cabbage in her arms, and blessed her obediently: "Sister-in-law. "

The queen does not make new clothes, because she is very particular. In winter, she has to customize the patterns of brocade, and if she can't do it well, she will redo it.It costs a lot to rework a piece of clothing several times. Now I can't spend so much money, so I just don't do it.Daiyu's clothes are made of brocade that entered the palace last year.

The Queen said: "...What is this?"

Does it look like emerald?Really?This is several times larger than the largest emerald cabbage collected in the palace.

Daiyu was quite speechless, and even blushed a little: "It's a cabbage." She walked closer, showed the queen to look at this cabbage, and said in a low voice: "Yao Sanlang's brother gave it to him, saying it was a good harvest in the vegetable garden."

Should I add that it is for His Majesty and Queen?No, it's too embarrassing to give a cabbage. Even if you give me a peach, I can say nice things. What does the cabbage mean?Make dumplings?I don't read much, but the true and false immortals who went to the royal family in history either took a peach in the winter, or turned a jade jade out of thin air.

The queen was speechless for a long time, stretched out her hand suspiciously and pinched it, um, it really is cabbage.She said dizzily, "I took it to the imperial dining room and made it. Let's eat it tonight." Her heart was in a mess.What did I call you here for?What can I tell you?

Daiyu turned around and handed the cabbage to the maid: "You two come here and borrow it, it's very heavy."

The three maids took over together. When Daiyu let go, they still fell down and caught it with all their strength: "What else does the princess want?"

Daiyu thought about it, looked at the cabbage and thought about it. She had seen Master stir-fry vegetables a few years ago, and it seemed that such a big cabbage was enough to stir-fry several meals: "Let them cut it upright, fry half, and send the other half to Mrs. Zhuo Go to the house."

"Choose young leaves and tender cores and fry a plate, stew a bowl and give it to the Supreme Emperor." The queen smiled while holding the pine nut candy: "Zhaorong, you go and send a guard to deliver it to Dr. Guanglu Zhuo Donglai's wife. "

Lady Zhaorong and the maids should have left together.

The queen told her these things absent-mindedly: "People in the imperial dining room are not allowed to leave the palace at will. Even if they ask for leave to leave the palace, they must search carefully at the gate of the palace to see if they are entrained. Things come in. And you said that Mrs. Zhuo's house, they don't know, they have to say the official name, send someone to deliver things, and assign guards to do it."

Daiyu nodded: "I remember."

The queen deducted five points from Yao Sanlang for this cabbage. Seriously, Chinese cabbage in winter?what do you think?Even if you give some apples and oranges, it’s auspicious to give some peaches, lotus root, and walnuts. It’s auspicious to give some cabbages during the Chinese New Year. What does this person think about giving things?Even if it is sure that it is a gift for younger siblings, it can't be so homely, right?Or was it given to Yao Sanlang?He lives in the palace, why don't you give me a cabbage?

She thought for a while, then asked softly: "The one who gave you something, Yao Sanlang's brother, do you know him?"

Daiyu sat down and ate the pine nut candy she handed to her mouth: "Yeah, Senior Brother Bilu, the tea I brought you last time was given by Senior Brother Bilu. He likes to grow things very much."

The queen thought to herself, always felt that Yao Sanlang's family was poorer than before, and his senior brother actually grew vegetables by himself!It's growing well!Yes, some crops were also planted in Fengsheng Palace, and the Supreme Emperor personally took care of them. The crops could be described as sick, weak and poor, because he was pampered and could not grow them.Does Yao Sanlang's master and brother, like Momen, advocate productive labor?If you marry in the past, will you have to spin and weave your own cloth?No wonder Yao Sanlang didn't have any dandyism, and he didn't care about enjoying himself. It turned out that he had a hard time as a child.

The queen is not willing to let the delicate and weak Daiyu go to farm, just because of their good custom of farming by themselves, they can be directly crossed off the list of spouses.She inquired side-by-side: "I heard that the immortal can fast the grain, what does he do farming?"

Daiyu didn't know that the queen had thought so much, so she answered truthfully: "I like it, I eat it once in a while."

The queen asked inquiringly, "Only he likes farming? Or are they all farming?"

"Only Senior Brother Bi Lu likes it, the others have their own hobbies."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, hehe, scared to death, Yao Sanlang can return to the list.She showed an ambiguous smile: "You,, why did you call me senior brother? Could it be that you have decided something?"

Daiyu blushed and nodded: "It's settled."

The queen was petrified, what, you and Yao Sanlang have already settled down?No wonder he ran away crying for a while, and when he ran over, he immediately asked the emperor to send someone to propose a marriage. After crying, he went back to make you happy, and you didn't feel bad at all.

Daiyu, tell me the truth, did you deliberately scare him when he cried like that just now?

Should I tell you the reasons why men and women can't get along?

Daiyu blinked her big innocent and crystal clear eyes, and said cheerfully: "In a few years, I will join the sect of the immortal master, so it's okay to call senior brother in advance now." Huh?It seemed to avoid trouble before, although I don't know what trouble there is, but there may be trouble, I never said that I would become Yao Sanlang's junior sister.

The queen was very speechless, can't you speak clearly, little girl?Do you know how scared I am?Creepy!It is not advisable to make love in private, especially after making love, it will be like that, and that, you still don't understand, if that happens, it will be very bad!You are still young, I have never told you.It turned out that she was just a junior sister... No!Why do you worship under the immortal teacher after a few years?It's not that I'm under the door, but you're married, right?A group of age-old slickers helped stupid juniors to plot against ignorant girls, hum.

She began to think carefully, how to tell her whether a man and a woman can kiss or not?How did my mother tell me at the beginning... She didn't tell me. The marriage was engaged when I was a child. My mother only told me about the orthodox ブブル and Dongxuanzi, and the 48 hands of Edogawa passed down by the unorthodox Fusang .She could only briefly say: "When you meet Yao Sanlang, you must be careful."

Daiyu was a little embarrassed: "Well, yes."

How on earth should I explain that he made a stupid misunderstanding, forget it.

It shouldn't have been done to draw the word king on his forehead in the first place.

After a while it was time for dinner.

The emperor praised the sweetness and refreshingness of the vinegared cabbage today. It tastes sweet, crisp and fragrant, and it is so tender that it tastes like bamboo shoots?

The queen told the story, it was the cabbage from the Xian family.

The emperor was a little speechless, and reluctantly said: "It's so delicious, it's not ordinary, it's a good gift." Really?A Chinese New Year gift, just a cabbage?Immortals are so chic.

Daiyu thought to herself: Hee hee hee hee, what are you sending to Senior Brother Bi Lu?The cabbage is delicious, why not, let me send him some frozen pears, and recommend a new way to eat in the world?

In Fengsheng Palace, Yao Sanlang was also eating with the Supreme Emperor, a table of banquets, although the harem is relatively frugal now, it is only the frugality of the emperor and concubines, there is no shortage in Fengsheng Palace.

The Supreme Emperor looked at him with a full smile: "Shenxian Yao, I heard that you cried today? Why did Daiyu bully you?" I have eyes in Yongfu Palace.

Yao Sanlang was a little embarrassed, and sighed: "She didn't bully me, I misunderstood myself. Alas, it was a waste of my whole life to cultivate. Every time I saw her, my brain stopped moving. I was stupid in front of a beauty. Why? What to do?"

The Supreme Emperor smiled slightly, and passed on his experience calmly: "When I was young, I was also fascinated by beauty. There is no solution to this matter. (But sleep for a few more days and it will not feel fresh, and then it will be fine. .)” Forget it, let’s not say the last sentence.

Yao Sanlang sullenly rested his chin on his hand, picked up a piece of cabbage with his chopsticks, took it over and looked at it, and didn't really want to eat it: "What if she thinks I'm stupid?"

The Supreme Emperor said in his heart: Tempt her with wealth, persecute her with power, hold her family hostage, kill her lover, and rob... Oh, now I am talking about my goddaughter.No, no, no, none of these will work. Rearrange your thoughts, the more you are infatuated with her, the more infatuated you are, the better it will be for me. I will be your old man.

The Supreme Emperor showed an elegant smile: "You don't put down the scrolls recently, what are you afraid of? You give me lectures on weekdays, you speak clearly, you are knowledgeable, and you can come up with all kinds of allusions at your fingertips. It's just that the infatuated people in the world will know all about it when they meet the girl they love. Get stupid."

Yao Sanlang thought for a while, and felt that what the Supreme Emperor said was right: "Tomorrow, I will give her a lecture to make me appear smarter." Throwing the cabbage into his mouth happily, huh?This smell is very familiar.

The Supreme Emperor snickered inwardly. I have been picking up girls for 50 years, and this is the first time I have heard of using scriptures to show off my intelligence... Anyway, what glory, wealth, majesty and power do you have to show off in front of her.He raised his chopsticks and gave way: "Eat."

Yao Sanlang couldn't bear the excitement, and asked restlessly: "Daiyu is not young, should she move out?"

The Supreme Emperor said in his heart: Just tell me, are you going to climb the window in the middle of the night or just go to bed and wait?No no no, don't be dirty, be calm.He calmly gave the standard answer: "The palace can only be rebuilt in spring, what are you in a hurry for?"

Yao Sanlang's hands were shaking, and he managed to maintain a calm smile: "I have a courtyard with her to practice swords. After winter, she doesn't like to go to the bamboo forest, and she is so bored. Eat vegetables, today's cabbage tastes strange."

Could it be that sister Lin found out that I was in a bad mood and wrote to my senior brother to ask for a cabbage for me to eat? Is this meant to comfort me?

The Supreme Emperor nodded in agreement: "The cabbage actually has spiritual energy, which is different." Turning his head, he ordered: "Go to the imperial dining room and ask, why is there such a big difference between the cabbage today and usual?"

Yao Sanlang said quite proudly: "No need, I know the details of this dish."

The Supreme Emperor: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."

Yao Sanlang opened the copywriting mode: "The story starts a long time ago. In the past, Gonggong and Zhuanxu fought for the emperor, and they touched the mountains of Buzhou in anger. The pillars of the sky were broken and the earth was broken. The sky tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars moved. ;The land is not full to the southeast, so the water is flooded and the dust returns."

The Taishang Huang caught a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and was shocked. This story is really "a long time ago".

Yao Sanlang: "Thus, Nuwa smelted five-color stones to mend the sky, cut off the Ao enough to set up the four poles, killed the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulated reed ash to stop it. My brother is a hardworking and simple person, and Nuwa Empress mended the sky The remaining five-color stone debris was swept away and taken home for farming.”

The Supreme Emperor: "..."

Yao Sanlang said: "This cabbage is not ordinary. The soil it grows on is so extraordinary, and the water it is irrigated is a mixture of Tianhe water and the spiritual spring in the back mountain. I can still listen to scriptures and Dharma every day, and my senior brother carefully cares for it. , without wind or rain, receiving the essence of heaven and earth, and receiving the three lights of the sun, moon and stars, these cabbages grow. I guess, it must be that the senior brother sensed that I was crying and sent me one."

It is not good for Daiyu to write a letter, she seems unwilling to let others know that she is cultivating immortality.

The Supreme Emperor hesitated: I believe it? ? ?

He didn't know what to say, out of politeness, he smiled: "That's great."

The next day, when Daiyu came to pay his respects, the Supreme Emperor hinted earnestly and meaningfully: You have to treat him better, don't let Zhenren Yao feel wronged when he is left out in the cold, and don't treat him too well, don't let He has to look forward to Shu.Hook him, fish him, give him some sweets occasionally to motivate him, but never let him get what he wants. ——Expressed in a very grand-sounding, gorgeous and decent, righteous, serious, and beastly way of dressing, this kind of words will not be said clearly.

Daiyu looked at him cutely, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't understand it very well. She could only hear that "you should respect the gods, pay attention to the proportion of communication, you can talk and play, you should care about him, but don't make promises." What's the matter?" With these superficial meanings, he obediently agreed: "Yes, father, I will remember."

Taishanghuang felt that she didn't understand much, but this is not a problem, just follow it.I gave her the ruby ​​butterfly hairpin and several other hairpins that were suitable for the Chinese New Year. One was tied into a small flower ball with small red coral branches, which looked like red pompoms from a distance. Two gold butterfly hairpins, Four pieces of rubies are inlaid on the gold piece according to the top, big and bottom, and are connected with the hairpin rod by a spring. Take it and play."

Daiyu couldn't accept this kind of vulgar aesthetics, big red butterflies, big red pompoms... She still smiled and thanked, and then left.

After going back, after choosing for a long time, the queen sent two more boxes of jewelry, both of which were worn during the Chinese New Year.

Although she doesn't have difficulty in choosing, she hesitates because of it, mainly because she can't choose who is more suitable for whom.

Fourth Sister Wen entered the palace after getting up (close to noon), and she was very excited: "The cabbage you sent yesterday is really the most delicious cabbage I have ever eaten in my life! This red pompom is so cute hahaha, the cabbage is too sweet. It’s delicious! It’s delicious even when fried or stewed!”

Yao Sanlang made up his mind last night and read patiently in the room. If Daiyu doesn't come to see me, I won't bother her. I don't believe he is not in a hurry!The next day, I got up and had dinner to give a lecture to the Supreme Emperor, and rolled up my schoolbag and left the house in one go.How many levels can I live in?

But he managed to control part of it, sat opposite Daiyu, read the book, read three pages of the book and glanced at her, quite satisfied, and restrained himself from talking nonsense.Hearing what Fourth Sister Wen said now, I couldn't help but take out what she boasted to the Supreme Emperor yesterday and say it again.

Daiyu: "..."

Fourth Sister Wen: "...hahahaha I've known you for so many years, and you're still bluffing me?"

Yao Sanlang put on a serious face: "It's true, it's absolutely true, just ask Daiyu if you don't believe me."

Daiyu looked at him helplessly: "Master, it was indeed planted by Brother Sanlang's senior brother."

Fourth Sister Wen felt a little regretful: "Well, I'm still surprised. When I first took charge of the imperial dining room, I tasted a lot of dishes, but I didn't find anything particularly different."

Daiyu said in her heart: No wonder you gained weight as if you were breathing in those days.

Yao Sanlang was heartless: "Hahahahaha, no wonder you are so fat these days!"

Fourth Sister Wen curled her lips: "Roll the ball!"

Yao Sanlang stretched out his hand to push her away, and pushed her gently with his little hand.

Fourth Sister Wen was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Yao Sanlang replied with a honey smile.

Daiyu understood, isn't this just "rolling the ball", she couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Fourth Sister Wen immediately understood when she heard her smile, and smiled calmly: "Come find me tomorrow. I can't beat you to death."

Yao Sanlang nodded calmly: "You are right, you can't kill me."

Daiyu laughed and fell on the table: "Hahahaha~"

A few days later, Daiyu received two boxes of things sent by her mother, one box of books, and the other box was still books.The only difference is that there is a box of books chosen by my mother: incense, music and dance, piano score, flower arrangement score, cat score, flower note score, flower collection, and some graceful poems.What Lin Ruhai sent was strange essays, essays, and a thick stack of manuscripts.

Lin Ruhai and his wife also received a New Year gift package, which contained all kinds of sweets, snacks, fabrics, sugar figurines, all in all a bunch of interesting things, and a few books.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, the first day of the first month.

Daiyu spent an hour packing - watching Yao Sanlang pack and send gifts to his senior brothers.As I said before, he has 49 seniors and two juniors.I sent Brother Chi Xiu a pack of meatballs and twists, as well as a strange secret sauce, which can be eaten with stewed meatballs.I sent a pack of frozen pears to Senior Brother Bi Lu, as well as sauerkraut, pork ribs, and recipes (please master prepare it, there is nothing wrong with it), and asked him for a beautiful bamboo root for engraving.Basically, one person gave a dish/snack. For gods who don’t need gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and can’t send antique calligraphy and paintings, they can only send food.

Daiyu sighed as she recalled all the 'interpersonal communication' and 'ceremonial exchanges' that her mother and the queen had talked about.If you want these two to know what I am giving away, they will definitely say that I am not sensible.She said it unconsciously.

Yao Sanlang, who is continuing to pack presents: "Huh? Don't be ridiculous, everything that is enshrined to the gods from ancient times to the present is eaten."

Daiyu nodded secretly, startled: "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

Yao Sanlang stuck out his tongue: "I have a tacit understanding with you~"

The first night is a banquet, very boring.

There was another sacrificial activity in the second day of junior high school, which was still boring.

The third day of junior high school is another banquet, still boring, but this time you can bring your family to the banquet, and the emperor also brought the queen and princess with him like the first day of junior high school.

Fourth Sister Wen tried voice transmission: Daiyu~my beloved little apprentice~can you hear meow?

Daiyu's face was calm, but she was very excited: "Yes, yes, Shihu~ chat with me!"Banquets are so boring!

The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor took turns to speak, and the ministers racked their brains to sing praises gracefully.

Daiyu and Fourth Sister Wen happily chatted about how delicious the cabbage stewed meatballs were...

There should be a few candied haws in a bunch...

Yao Sanlang's serious look is really cute...

Brother Zhuo's promotion is really fast...

The banquet is so boring, the dishes are cold...

Elder brother Saburo got a good sentence yesterday...

Recently developed several new dishes...

In the end, Fourth Sister Wen said regretfully: Don't talk about it, my internal strength can't support it anymore.Sound transmission is very tiring!

Daiyu was in high spirits: I said, listen, okay?

Fourth Sister Wen nodded to her insignificantly.

Taking advantage of her master's inability to speak and refute, Daiyu began to talk endlessly about what allusions were used in Yao Sanlang's poem, what was the meaning, where was the magic, and which word was the eye of the poem.

Fourth Sister Wen gradually felt dizzy, and she didn't have much internal energy to shut her up, so she rubbed her forehead to express that she was uncomfortable.

The ministers continued to sing in unison while praising the Supreme Emperor, embellishing their own faces, and discrediting their opponents at the same time.

The emperor was very bored, so he gave Zhuo Donglai a look: Donglai, you just say a word during the whole process?Or 'long live long live long live', is this appropriate?

Someone secretly reported to me yesterday that you have violated the rules and disobedience, tsk, it is hard for me to believe this.

Zhuo Donglai replied with his eyes: suitable.

He knew his own position in his heart, the less conspicuous the better, the things that were done in the dark should not be brought into the light.

The emperor continued to be bored and listened to the officials' flattery, benevolent government, Mingjun, take the time to praise the Supreme Emperor.It seemed that he was looking around. The Queen had a Guanyin smile on her face, but she was actually carefully observing the lotus pattern on the golden bowl. This is the pattern we designed together back then.Daiyu looked down at the plate of meatballs seriously, with a happy smile on her face, what was so funny looking at the meatballs.Yao Sanlang... The sorrow on Yao Sanlang's face can be described as 'resentment'. He keeps peeking at Daiyu, but Daiyu seems to ignore you?

Daiyu smiled lowly, and turned to chat with Yao Sanlang.

Yao Sanlang looked at Daiyu with an expression of 'a disgruntled woman in the palace who has not been able to see the king for 13 years is finally favored today': finally it's me?

The queen was a little worried, and asked in a low voice: "Daiyu, you have been staring at the table in a daze for a long time, is it so beautiful?"

Daiyu was startled a little: "Huh? I'm bored and endorsing a book."

Queen: "...Then Yao Shenxian has been staring at you, is also endorsing?"

Yao Sanlang smiled: "That's right."

The author has something to say: The Supreme Emperor has his own plans.

The copywriting of this cabbage is really good.
