Chapter 182 + Help
Chatting with each other at night, Daiyu suddenly remembered the old man Gouyouhu she saw at the border. It seemed that the master had secretly exchanged the real precious jade with a fake made by that old man.Casually, pretending to be nonchalant, he asked: "That Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion, is he okay now? I heard that the emperor plans to open Enke during the filial piety period, and Baoyu's age should go to the entrance examination for children." The first time I said it, I was so nervous.
Now that Jia Min is in confinement again, she sits on the bed all day and eats bland food. When Daiyu is not home, she is very bored.Originally, I had nothing to do, I could cry and cry to pass the time, but I just had a baby and my health was very good, so I couldn't cry happily, so I had to sit on the bed all day in a daze.During this period, I can't see relatives and friends, I just talk through the window. The master takes time from his official duties to accompany him, and the rest is just watching the little girls dangling around foolishly.
Now I am so happy to talk with my smart, beautiful and talkative daughter. I didn't notice her inquiring skills: "I gave birth that day, and two sister-in-laws came to visit me. My sister-in-law is stupid. I don't like to talk to her. The second sister-in-law can speak a few words, but she doesn't understand poetry. She only thinks about career and economics, and she always wants to ask the master to promote brother Zheng. Alas, I don't know who the second brother is. Do you know? When he was young, his weird temper was twice as big as Baoyu's."
"Second brother Zheng was also a man of poetry and wine when he was young, because among his nephews and nephews, his mother always followed the right path. Now second brother Zheng can't stop saying that Baoyu is a demon king. How much idle time has been spent, and now I regard Baoyu, who is also mischievous, as the apple of my eye. If Zhu's nephew is still there, mother and sister-in-law will not love Baoyu like that... I heard from my second sister-in-law that Baoyu suffered from hysteria a few days ago, and I was confused After a while, he suddenly regained consciousness and improved, as if he had made great progress in his studies."
In just half an hour, Daiyu heard a lot of things from the elders of the Rongguo Mansion. She didn't know what happened to her mother. She was too happy or was annoyed by the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, so she "forgive elder brother" 'Brother Zheng' spoke out many things about his youth in one go.
In the end, I finally got to the point, hey, I have made great progress in my studies?What did we do to Jia Baoyu?He just took away his jade, so how could he study hard all of a sudden?
Seeing that my mother seemed to want to tell "the story of the past" again, she hurriedly glanced at the western chime clock, saw that it was already past seven o'clock, and hurriedly got up: "Mother, it's time for evening class."
God, I really want to go to Longevity Mountain and listen to the sermons of the elder brother. Hey, I will go to the elder brother in two days... I am going out this time. Is it not too bad?
Jia Min sighed, looked at her clingingly, with tears in her eyes: "Are you going back tomorrow?"
Daiyu thought for a while: "I didn't make a decision when I came. The empress said that when she misses me, she will send someone to pick me up."
Jia Min began to struggle, if the mother didn't want her, then the daughter could stay at home for a longer time, but if she lived for a long time, wouldn't it be that the mother didn't care about her at all and didn't like her at all?
This is also worrying. I heard that the queen lived a frugal life. The emperor often found excuses to ransack people's homes and steal money. After Daiyu was named a princess, she would have a princess mansion when she married. Will the couple reduce the princess to a princess in order to save some money? Where is the princess?There is a gap of 10 taels of silver between the construction of the princess mansion and the dowry ceremony!But in that case, what would others think!
Daiyu didn't know that her mother was thinking so much, and she left as if she had been pardoned, and returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where she lived (I can't think of a better sound).The courtyard has been decorated, and many details are very similar to the Jiangnan courtyard where I lived when I was a child. There are also several jacaranda houses, covered by thousands of green bamboos, and there are pear flowers and plantains in the backyard. It is quiet and elegant, and it is also suitable for a female Taoist priest. identity of.Since she entered Beijing, she has been coming and going in a hurry, and she has never carefully looked at the residence prepared for herself in the Lin Mansion. Today she has free time, and she feels her parents care more about it.
I saw that the entrance is a zigzag corridor, and the stones under the steps form a long road.There are two or three small houses above, one is bright and the other is dark, and inside are beds and chairs built at the same level.
Seeing a young and beautiful young man sitting on the beauty's couch, his face is like powder, his lips are like vermilion, his eyebrows are like mountains, his pupils are trimmed by autumn water, his smile is like a hundred flowers blooming, and his face is full of light.Wearing a light pink brocade gown with tufted flowers, a purple gold crown on the head, white jade hairpins inserted horizontally, a jade belt on the waist, and white socks and cloud shoes on the feet.
To describe it with a word of cross talk, it's really 'gogo and throw'.There is enough "beauty of one thought", that is, you close your eyes and substitute the face of the man you think is the most beautiful in the world (only in China), so handsome, handsome and charming.
Dai Yuxin came on foot, and saw him sitting here dressed up, he was very handsome: "Why did you come in, no one informed you?"
Yao Sanlang looked at her with a smile: "I miss you, so I'm here."
Daiyu entered the room, carefully looked at the furnishings in the room, and nodded secretly. This should be arranged by her mother, and all the objects are in the style and texture I like.Looking at it carefully with a plum vase, he said: "No wonder, just now when I heard my mother talking, I suddenly thought of you, and I thought you were talking about me again, so I had a feeling. Why didn't the maids see you?"
Yao Sanlang pulled out his sleeves and took out a 'one chopstick' for a long time, offering a treasure in front of her: "Senior Brother Wutan discussed divination with wise men from outside the region a few days ago, and brought back some souvenirs. Using this chopstick to say a 'Muggle Repelling Curse' can make mortals turn a blind eye to a certain place."
"Really?" Daiyu took the chopsticks and looked at them: "I don't think they are chopsticks. The pattern...is a bit wild."
Yao Sanlang was overjoyed: "It's fun, let's try it, shall we?"
"How to try?"
Yao Sanlang laughed: "There is a shop in the south of the city that specializes in flower stick balls and grilled fish shreds. They taste very good, but everyone who eats fish will gradually become weak. After a few days of rest, they will recover. People who eat fish every day will also get better." won't die. Do you know why?"
Daiyu blinked, put the plum vase back, and picked up a flower goblet to look at it: "There are goblins."
Yao Sanlang bit his lip and suppressed a smile: "Good sister, guess what kind of fairy it is?"
"Anyone who loves fish must be a cat demon."
Yao Sanlang shook his head: "No, no, you'll know after trying it, don't worry, that thing won't hurt you."
Daiyu said: "I'm tired of running around for days. I don't want to go. Let's talk about it in a few days."
Yao Sanlang frowned slightly: "Hua Zhi Wan is delicious, so I'll buy it for you?"
Daiyu pulled him to sit down at the table, which was a red sandalwood imitation bamboo knotted official hat chair and writing desk: "My heart is blocked from eating roast mutton, and now I just want to eat vegetarian in peace. Brother Sanlang, you Tell me the Jingjing Sutra."
Yao Sanlang frowned: "Why are you so unhappy about Wen Jiying?"
Daiyu sighed: "It's not for him, who else could be. Yunqi, I came back and told my father about this matter, but my father was vague. Even though he didn't say it clearly, I could see what he meant. My brother even said it to me. He is full of bitterness, and there are many things he cannot do. Am I too attached to this matter?"
Yao Sanlang smiled and lay down on the table and looked at her: "Sponsor, if you are empty of all things and let go of all things, you are no longer a monk to practice Taoism, but you are going to chant scriptures with the bald and fat people in Daleiyin Temple."
Daiyu rolled his eyes at him: "Sooner or later, I will be able to put this matter aside."
Yao Sanlang smiled and said: "Why bother, everyone has their own obsessions. You see, Master loves ginseng fruit trees very much. His grandson killed his tree. He has been thinking about it for so many years. Eldest brother is most annoyed by people staring at him. A beautiful body, hehehe, a beautiful body, hehehe, Zishu loves beauty, Bilu loves to grow vegetables, and a stone loves to grow vegetables, hehehe."
Daiyu was both angry and funny, and pushed him: "You laugh so scary, don't laugh."
Yao Sanlang tried to be serious: "You see, everyone has their own interests. Maybe your hobbies are righteousness, justice, and justice in the world, so you feel uncomfortable when Wen Jiying offends your hobbies."
Daiyu covered her face with her hands: "Huh." The words were strange and embarrassing.
Yao Sanlang smiled and said, "Why am I wrong?"
"You make me look like Lu Zhishen."
Daiyu couldn't help smiling.
Yao Sanlang looked around, but he didn't see the weeping willow. He was a serious person. He walked over and turned into a weeping willow and poked it on the ground, calling, "I wonder if Tijue can pull up this weeping willow?"
Daiyu couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and kicked lightly: "Pull up the weeping willow, maybe it won't work, but if it breaks this tree, it shouldn't be difficult."
Yao Sanlang was so frightened that he turned back to his original shape and jumped onto the wall: "He is really a hard-hearted Taoist. He has no pity at all, so I won't tell you. I'm leaving."
Daiyu stopped after a step, raised her head and asked, "Where are you going?"
Yao Sanlang stroked his chin: "I'm going to eat Huazhi Wan, it's really addictive."
Daiyu stomped her feet: "Go!"
She closed her eyes and concentrated, and saw that there was indeed a thin layer of mana covering the room, and she didn't know how to break the curse, so she raised her hand and scratched it to pieces.
Yao Sanlang left happily.
The maids came out from the bamboo forest in a little confusion: "Girl, you are back."
"The night wind is too cold, don't stand in the wind."
"It's time for dinner, girl, do you want to change?"
Daiyu sighed slightly, seeing that none of these maidservants could call out their names: "Go ahead and tell me, I want to eat vegetarian today, let them make two light vegetarian stir-fried dishes."
"Yes."
"Change."
The other three servant girls came to help the young lady change her clothes.
Although she has become a Taoist priest, she is still not used to a piece of clothing like Yao Sanlang wearing it for 300 years without washing or changing it, just changing its shape—even if it has no smell!
Not even sweating!It doesn't work if the clothes don't get dirty!I feel itchy just thinking about it!Clothes must be changed every day!
That night I had dinner with my mother, went back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and slept all night, when I got up the next day, my father went to court again, and had breakfast with my mother, nothing happened, the second wife of Rongguo Mansion came to visit Mrs. Lin again , Daiyu was ordered by her mother to avoid seeing her.
It was only in the afternoon that Yao Sanlang brought over the hot grilled squid slices: "It's really delicious!"
Daiyu was reading a book by the rose chair in front of the window. When she looked up, she saw the squid fillet surrounded by a monster. She was worried that the monster had poisoned her.
Yao Sanlang said: "I can tell, that goblin should be a sea spirit. From the shopkeeper to the boy, they all have a lively fish smell on their bodies."
Daiyu was startled: "Is this seafood selling seafood?"
Yao Sanlang nodded confidently: "It should be."
Daiyu was puzzled: "They are all of the same kind, how could they kill each other?"
Yao Sanlang tore the squid slices: "The Dragon King's table is full of all kinds of fish, turtles, shrimps, crabs, and shellfish, not to mention this, even the Bull Demon King eats beef. They all treat themselves as serious gods. Those who have not developed their minds are like chickens and dogs."
Daiyu nodded, and told him about Baoyu's sudden study hard.
Yao Sanlang leaned against the wall outside the window, tilted his head and looked at her: "Maybe the soul was unstable, or it was disturbed by evil spirits, or it was just beaten by his father, I have time to go and see."
Daiyu smiled and said, "You are so busy."
Yao Sanlang said: "I want to come here to see you again, I want to go back to worship, and I want to eat grilled fish, why am I not busy?"
"What a busy man!"
"That's not it!"
The next day, after breakfast again, Daiyu faced the window to practice calligraphy, and frowned after writing two words: "Although the brushwork is strong, the font is loose, alas."
The maid next to her was not familiar with her, so she didn't dare to talk to her carelessly.Xueyan boldly said, "Girl, your handwriting is so beautiful now, what's wrong with it?"
Daiyu glanced at her and sighed, "You don't understand."
She continued to practice calligraphy seriously, practice calligraphy, practice calligraphy.
It’s true that I haven’t practiced handwriting for a day, and I haven’t written for four days, and it’s already so jerky that it’s outrageous.
Suddenly, the maids involuntarily left the room.
Yao Sanlang poked his head out of the window mysteriously: "I went to see, the kid had some problems with his soul, it seems to be because of that piece of jade, it's much better after taking the jade away and reinstalling his soul. Now he is rushing to official career The economy is struggling."
Daiyu put away the words she was practicing, nodded, and didn't care about Baoyu's affairs: "Brother Sanlang, come and write a line for me to see."
Yao Sanlang was shocked: "What? Did the elder brother ask you to check your homework? I have been studying hard and practicing calligraphy, hehe."
Daiyu said: "I haven't practiced calligraphy for a few days. I'm very unfamiliar. I'm making up my homework."
Yao Sanlang heaved a sigh of relief, patted his small chest to wipe away the cold sweat, and came in through the window: "Sister, I can borrow your pen and ink."
He picked up a writing brush, took a stack of paper, and went a little further to practice calligraphy by himself.
Daiyu smiled slightly, knowing that he was also ugly and ashamed to see others.The two of them settled down on one side and practiced their own calligraphy.
When Lin Ruhai returned home in the evening, he dragged her to the study to talk.Lin Ruhai just sat down, and said: "Bianguan Lubu has arrived in the capital, Wen Jiying's big victory. Yu'er, do you know what Lubu is?"
Daiyu sat down on the chair opposite: "When the army destroys the thieves, they will build the poles with silk scripts. The Ministry of War calls them Lubu."
Lin Ruhai looked at her worriedly: "On the Lubu, it was only written that he defeated the bandits, and the other party's main general was beheaded. I couldn't write anything more. At the same time, an urgent document was delivered at eight hundred miles. It was written in a high-sounding, The imperial court is discussing how to reward him." Don't cry!
Daiyu nodded calmly: "Don't worry, Daddy, I won't be angry anymore."
Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, and stroked his beard softly in the chair: "I was always uneasy on the way back."
Daiyu smiled shyly: "There should be a secret book that was sent to the palace, did Daddy see it?"
"There is a secret document. The Holy Majesty laughed out loud after reading it, and did not pass it on to his subordinates." Lin Ruhai said, "It's fine if you don't get angry. I heard from your mother that you were so angry that you didn't even want to eat meat these two days. Why bother?" Woolen cloth."
Daiyu hurriedly argued: "No, I only eat meat every day at the border. There are not many vegetables, and the rice and noodles are too rough. I only crave vegetables along the way."
Lin Ruhai was relieved now, and played with the jade ruler on the table: "You gave me the jade unicorn on the table?"
"Yes."
Lin Ruhai looked at the green bamboo on the white jade, it seemed that there happened to be a strip of green skin, so it was left to make the bamboo stem, and the rest was worn white to reveal the jade color.It will be very ingenious and elegant, but I also want jade unicorn.
Forget it, after all, it was given by my daughter, and the town ruler is also good.He touched the ruler, casually: "Yu'er, you have been away from home for the past few days. One day, I was chatting with the Holy One. He suddenly said that the government was busy, but he didn't want to set a precedent for the cabinet to approve the memorial. He was tired after eating. What's the point?"
Daiyu was so frightened that her hairs stood on end, she said to her heart, my brother, your tone is really not strict, I didn't reveal it from the shape of the words, but you directly leaked it!She thought about it, and lied cautiously: "Daddy, you know that I'm good at telling jokes, and Su Risheng came to me whenever he wanted to hear a joke, so he felt bored when I left."
"Your Majesty is tired. What are you doing?"
Daiyu smiled with guilty eyes: "Daddy, I'm just a girl, what can I do?"
This is so false!It's not a small thing for me to do.
Me, me, me, I'm so scared, once the matter of approving the memorials on behalf of me is exposed, it will scare my father.
Lin Ruhai was very serious: "I dare not make alchemy for him!"
Daiyu was startled, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, showing a relaxed and sincere smile: "Dad, don't worry, I haven't learned alchemy yet." Scared to death!It turns out that my father didn't expect me to be a seal of 'knowing'. He thought that I was concocting alchemy for the emperor like those stupid monsters in history. How could I do such a stupid thing!
Lin Ruhai repeatedly emphasized: "No alchemy is allowed! No talisman water is allowed! No prescriptions are allowed! I know that Taoism has many prescriptions, which are very effective, but they are not allowed to be given to emperors and empresses. We can't seek wealth and wealth."
Daiyu fully agreed and vowed to do it.
In the early morning of the next day, just after breakfast, a phoenix chariot came to the palace to pick up the princess back to the palace.
Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief, and sent Daiyu away from home.
When she returned to the palace, she went to feed the fish with the queen, and after lunch, she sent her companion to the palace.
The princess now has two companions, one is Xue Baochai from the Xue family of the imperial merchant, and the other is the daughter of the Taifu.The Taifu's daughter, Li Yue'e, never entered the palace. She had been sick for a long time since she was a child. It was the Taifu who asked the emperor to ask her to be immortal, so she gave her the false title of a companion.
When Baochai arrived at the gate of the palace, the eunuch led the way all the way to the palace where the princess lived. After saluting, she retreated to the left and right.
Baochai knelt down again, weeping and said, "Master, save me!"
Daiyu stretched out her hands to help her, and said in surprise: "What's the matter? Speak up if you have something to say." I didn't take your family's affairs to heart. A good martial artist like you, what can a woman do against you?Why are you in such a hurry?I heard from my godmother that you know how to do business.
Baochai is dignified and generous. After practicing martial arts, she hides her edge even more, and is gentle and dignified with double heart. Now her face has a bit of murderous look, and she is so angry that she is about to cry: "Uncle, my brother has made his own decisions. Marrying a troublemaker came back, and she was making trouble. My brother tried to divorce her several times, but she made a fuss to kill her. My brother drew a knife to scare her, so she raised her neck and bumped her upwards. We can't really kill her. She. Master and master are not in the capital, my mother is weak, and my brother is reckless, so I beg my uncle to teach me."
Daiyu was so surprised that she didn't care about the embarrassment. Such a brave and fearless person is actually just a boudoir woman, she is really a strange woman in the world. "Why did your brother fight with her?"
"It's not my brother, it's me. I'm in charge of the Xue family's store and business. She wants to get it with all her heart. I think her mind is not right, and she only knows how to spend time and money and doesn't know how to manage it. How can she be willing to give her her family business? Come and go. There was a commotion."
Baochai really had no choice, she was able to beat Xia Jingui once, and she did twice, but the woman was clamoring to take poison, shouting to hang herself, and going to the yamen gate to sue the Xue family for forcing her daughter-in-law to death to snatch her. Xia family property.If Baochai hadn't stopped her, Xue Pan would have fought with her.
The little princess had nothing to say: "I can't help you if you ask me about such a thing. The second wife of the Rongguo Mansion is your aunt, have you begged her?"
"Please, she can't help it. Who told my brother to marry her? If an outsider was in my house like this, he would have beaten him out. I can't ask my relatives to take care of the wife I married. She can't do anything if she catches her." Baochai said dejectedly, "Uncle, Baochai's family affairs are really embarrassing, when will she come back, Master?"
The little princess said: "She was injured at the border, so the road can't be bumpy. If you don't wait for the injury to recover, you can go back, maybe half a month. If you want to recover, you don't know how long it will be. Sister Mudan is not in Beijing either. inside?"
Baochai nodded: "Master and master went to find someone to settle the accounts. I don't know what the accounts are."
Daiyu suddenly had an idea: "Your sister-in-law is not afraid of death, so is she afraid of ghosts?"
Baochai said, "She's not afraid of ghosts. In my opinion, ghosts are afraid of her."
Daiyu's plan to send people to pretend to be ghosts and scare people had to be canceled regretfully, and said: "According to the law, if she makes you sick, you should be able to send her to the government and sue someone for disobedience."
Baochai shook her head: "If she turns the other way and sues the Xue family for murdering the family property and starts a lawsuit, it will be endless. The government will definitely take the opportunity to ask for bribes and ask for a large sum of money. The gate of the yamen opens to the south, so there are many people who are rich and powerful." All the country gentry and wealthy households are folded in the yamen, and all the wealth of the family can be drained."
Daiyu was slightly surprised, this kind of thing was also written in the history books - this baby's knowledge of all kinds of bad people in the world is only in the four great classics and history books - she shook her head: "Why are you looking for Mrs. Zhuo? Do you want to hire a murderer?"
Baochai smiled wryly and said, "Don't you dare? My uncle wronged me. I heard that there are all kinds of tricks in the Jianghu. I want to ask my master for help, whether to deceive or persuade, and let Xia Jingui separate from my brother." Find a beautiful and rich blue boy to seduce her, even if I ask my brother to go out to 'do business', he won't come after half a year, just say something happened to him outside, and let my brother come back after Xia Jingui comes home, It is said that the news of the death was misrepresented, but it is actually fine, so it will be fine.
Daiyu didn't expect that she already had an idea. After thinking for a while, she came up with a solution: steal Baochai's brother in the dark, and throw a roll of snakeskin... This won't work!Don't lie to people with the hoax I just exposed.
Baochai begged again: "Uncle, Master, she is away from home. Someone should take care of the business at home, and the housekeeper who is in charge should be an expert. My brother went to Zhuo's mansion to look for him. Dr. Guanglu is cautious and does not show his reputation. I’m full of excuses about this matter. I think the master likes the uncle so much, he must stay here to serve others, I beg the uncle to order, as long as I can get rid of her by any means, even if my family pays the dowry and asks her to remarry.”
Daiyu Jianghu and her party saw that besides pretending to be gods and ghosts, she was killing people. Although she was familiar with the art of war, she didn't know how to deal with the shrew.Seeing that my nephew is in such a hurry, that woman is really powerful, but my godmother didn't leave me anyone who can do things according to my orders.
She suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, it's appropriate to ask Yao Sanlang about such a matter. The godmother can only beat and kill people, so she can solve the problem, but it's a pity that she is inconvenient now." That little villain Yao Yunqi can drive goblins crazy , it must not be difficult to teach people to fight against a mortal.
Baochai's expression changed slightly, and the princess/martial uncle talked about the murderous joke with such a calm demeanor, what did she do this trip?He laughed again and said, "Thank you, uncle, for bothering the gods for my little things. Baochai is really ashamed of uncle."
The author has something to say: The part about Jia Zheng being naughty when he was young comes from the original work.
Guess what?Xia Jingui is the woman I hate the most in the Complete Book of the Red Chamber, almost the only one I hate. Mrs. Xing is also pitiful, and Aunt Zhao is also a little coquettish and pitiful, but Xia Jingui hates her so much!
As soon as she married into Xue's family, she planned to "cook her husband to death" "while the stove is hot" in order to "set up a banner for herself". ——This is also the root cause of the fight with Baochai.
