[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu

Chapter 219 Imperial Seal + Injustice

"Sister-in-law save me!"

The queen was surprised: "Yu'er, what's the matter with you?" Although she was as careful as a hair and had a big brain, she didn't guess anything.Not to mention the empress's favorite little sister, just being the eldest daughter of the chief minister of the cabinet is enough to run rampant in the capital and bully the market...Of course she won't do that, but her backing is enough.What's more, she is still a fairy, can ride the clouds, and has a loyal lover who is as commanding as an arm, what can she ask for help?

But, the little girl's soft and coquettish behavior is really cute. I just want to have a cute daughter like you. If the emperor hadn't messed around in those days, I would have recognized you as a righteous daughter.

Seeing that Daiyu blamed herself a bit, she looked at herself cautiously, and hurriedly hugged her in her arms: "If you have anything to say, just say it, and I will definitely help you."

Daiyu leaned softly on her Xiangxiang's arms: "Sister-in-law...Did brother tell you about Empress Mingde?"

The queen said: "Of course, he didn't hide anything from me. I prepared the dowry. What's the matter?" It hurts to think about her.As a result, Erlang didn't think about it after he vomited blood. He was still very narrow-minded and sulked, feeling that Mama had been taken away.It's so cute! !

Daiyu's eyes wandered, and she said with a guilty conscience: "When I came back to celebrate the New Year, my brother asked me what kind of person that person was, and I..."

The queen waited patiently for a while, and gently stroked her hair: "The emperor told me that you know that person, that person is very nice, young and rich, gentle and reliable, with a good family education and very sincere to Empress Mingde. What?" Isn't it?

Daiyu smiled embarrassingly: "These are all true, but that person is my senior brother, I am not ashamed to tell my brother."

The queen was also silent: The emperor's Ma Ma married your senior brother, so will you call him brother or nephew from now on?What's more embarrassing is that you are the brother-in-law's daughter-in-law, so you can be considered your sister-in-law, right?What will I call you when I meet you later?This must be the retribution of the emperor's fondness for using ethical stalks!She closed her eyes and turned her heart: "Does Erlang know about this?" If you don't know, just shut up.Don't feel guilty about lying, it's embarrassing to put it bluntly.

Daiyu buried her face in her shoulder: "Got it. Last night, a fairy led his soul to attend the wedding. I didn't know it beforehand. When I saw my brother, I almost cried."

Well, it’s actually not that miserable. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I felt scared after thinking about it.The emperor, he is very, very narrow-minded.It's a smiling tiger, I really don't know if he will hold a grudge against me.

The queen's petite heart was about to be cut off, so she quickly patted her head: "Hey, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Erlang has always been magnanimous, and it's for his own good that you hide it from him. He won't be angry. Tell me about the situation that day. Said, why don't I know that he went out, what does it mean that the soul goes out..."

To put it bluntly, last night I couldn't sleep and touched a couple of them. It was hot.

Daiyu told her in detail how Yuxian got married, and for some reason he took the emperor's soul to see his mother.I wanted to omit the conversation between the elder brother and him, but thought that there might be something wrong, so I mentioned the elder brother and his experimental country.

The queen was silent for a long time after listening, quite in a daze: "You..."

Daiyu looked at her with a sigh of relief, and if the emperor was very angry, very angry, or didn't lose his temper, he would silently make a note in his heart, only the queen could persuade him.This attitude is disturbing.

The queen hesitated to speak several times: "I remember you said that there is a senior brother whose hobby is growing vegetables, and the cabbage he gave is delicious. Why is your senior brother's hobby...building a country and governing the country?" Gods are so arbitrary ?

Daiyu originally thought that the elder brother was very powerful, wise, deep, and majestic, but hearing what the queen said, it seemed like a strange hobby. "Yes, Eldest Senior Brother cares about the common people in the world, and hopes that all beings are equal and all things can live in harmony."

The queen accepted this statement with suspicion: "Erlang saw his mother, is there anything unusual? Did he cry?"

"It doesn't seem to be. I arrived later. I don't know what happened before." Daiyu said in a low voice, "He seems to be angry with me." She selectively concealed the fact that the emperor called her father.

The queen thought for a while, and said decisively: "Don't worry too much, I know what Erlang is like, you didn't mean to hurt him, even if he gets angry, he won't last long. You go back first and hide for a few days before coming back."

Daiyu sighed, and said: "Brother is afraid that he will be worried, or afraid, or in a trance, let me come back to accompany him."

The queen decisively interpreted it as 'if the soul is unstable, give him the talisman water' and 'if he vomits blood, save him', which is really considerate: "Don't go to see him, wait until I see if Erlang is angry or not." You go to hide at home for a while, if the news from the Lin family is not tight enough, go to Wen Zelan's place to stay for two days, and I will write to her if there is anything."

Daiyu lowered her eyes and nodded: "That's what I have to do. If I had told my elder brother that that person was my senior brother, he would not have been caught off guard."

The queen touched this almost innocent little girl who was depressed and a little uneasy: "Don't worry, it's not that you married Empress Mingde. No matter who that person is, the emperor will be angry for a while, and tell you It's irrelevant. No wonder just now I saw that he was emotionally unstable, falling asleep right after getting up, so he was tired last night. Daiyu, did you have breakfast?"

"Not yet. If the wedding banquet dares to end, the elder brother will drive me over."

The queen ordered: "Come here! Pass the meal." All the maids were kicked out of the cubicle just now, waiting for orders in the outer room.

Then to Daiyu: "I planned to eat together when he woke up, since he didn't sleep all night, I think we need to sleep a little longer. Let's eat. Why didn't Yao Sanlang come back with you?"

Daiyu said, "Brother has something to do."

The queen asked enthusiastically: "What is Yao Sanlang's hobby?" I know he is crazy about you, but it is impossible to only have this one hobby.

Daiyu thought about it carefully for a while: "Maybe it's...eating?" And sleep.Every time I read, I have a painful expression on my face. I know a little about everything but not much. I am very happy when playing with me.But this is not a hobby.

The empress laughed tremblingly: "That's right." That means she only likes you.How can it be so unbearable to say that he is so delicious and lazy, he looks so good-looking, gentle and attentive.I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because I am in this mountain.

Daiyu's face flushed slightly, she lowered her head and did not answer.The two of them ate breakfast together, and it was nothing more than a light breakfast such as buns, siu mai, shrimp dumplings, hibiscus porridge, red bean soup, and preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

After the meal, we went to drink tea and chat together, talk about daily gossip, talk about flowers blooming and falling, discuss poems and songs, taste a cup of tea, and watch flowers in a goblet.

The queen turned away from the left and right again, and asked her about her daily life in detail: "How many maids serve you on weekdays?"

Daiyu was slightly embarrassed: "Not one."

"Huh? Why is that?" When I was practicing in the mountains, no one else had a maid, and you can't have one either. That would be too dazzling.Now that the country has been established, why is it still not there?Did others bully you because of your young age and low mana? "No one else?"

"There is no one." Daiyu laughed, "Eldest brother used magic to build a not-so-big palace, much smaller than here, not to mention that there are no beauties in the harem, not even guards and maids, it all depends on the palace." Spells are kept spotless. You have to do your own cooking, cooking wine and tea, and preparing pastries."

The queen sighed deeply: "Why do I feel that your place is still very poor." It's nice to live in a big house, but it's too miserable if there is no one to take care of it. "There, are there any ordinary people under your elder brother's rule?"

Daiyu covered her face: "There are tens of thousands of people in the whole country." However, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital here.

The queen almost laughed out loud, well, this is not a country, it's just a little hobby of the gods.When the number of people in our country was small, there were tens of millions, but now it has reached hundreds of millions.There are tens of thousands of people there, not even a vassal king, who can guarantee the country's security... all depends on the king's ability to fight, right?Hahahaha.

The queen sniggered in her stomach: "There should be young girls among these tens of thousands of people, right? Choose a few to serve you, if you are afraid of attracting people's attention, you can find a few more senior brothers and discuss this matter together. Don't say anything else, you have to Someone will wait for you to take a shower, change clothes, and do laundry."

Daiyu hesitated for a moment: "I wanted to meet the right opportunity and buy a few maids, but they are all mortals and couldn't do much when they were young. When they can serve me, they should marry. I can't let them Stay with me for the rest of your life." She has never seen how the family arranges the maids who should be married, and the one she often comes into contact with in the palace is also the female official Zhaorong, who is a female official who will never marry.

The queen laughed: "Silly girl, you don't have to buy them out for life, just hire them for a year or two. Some of the handymen in the palace are here to serve, and some are poor women and poor women in the capital who are hired into the palace to do rough work. Come and go at night, there are official maids to supervise them. The official maids also enter the palace at the age of ten, and they are released to marry at the age of 20 or 25, and it is easy to marry."

For Daiyu, this is brand new knowledge, she has never thought about where maids and palace maids come from and where they will go in the future.

That's why she was helpless when she was in charge. Jia Min wanted to teach her these things, but never got the chance.

The queen gave her a detailed account of her experience in managing maidservants in the harem, and she hesitated at the end: "This is the rule in the palace, as for what to do outside the palace... I was a housekeeper when I was young, and I don't remember much now." How does the big family manage these things. Go back and ask your mother, she should tell you these things when you are at this age. Yu'er, don't just focus on not eating the fireworks of the world, you have a lot to learn in the world."

Daiyu was escorted home. Jia Min was always careful and talkative, so Daiyu only asked, "I plan to buy a few servant girls over there to serve me."

"That's not easy! When you buy it, you have to choose carefully, and when you buy it, you have to slowly adjust your temperament and teach them how to do things."

Jia Min arranged all the affairs for her, taught her how to choose and judge people, how to arrange food and accommodation for maids, who will control them and assign work, how to suppress the smart ones, and how to arrange the stupid ones , What to do if someone has a different heart, what to do if someone steals something, I took a full hour of class.

Daiyu has always been a top student, and now she is a little dizzy.

Why do a few little maids who have almost no sense of existence waste so much thought?

What was it... oh, I didn't care about it.

Jia Min hesitated suddenly. Looking at her daughter, she always felt that she was still a child. I'm afraid she was young and couldn't hold back the scene: "Do you still remember the blue sparrow beside me?"

"Remember."

Jia Min sighed: "She is not born in a family, and she has no relatives when she bought the house. Two years ago, she married the young man in front of the master, and she was considered a loving and harmonious husband and wife. It was said that she had someone to rely on for the rest of her life, but it's a pity that God has it." Unexpectedly, her husband died of a sudden illness. Now that Qingque is a widow and has no children, she originally planned to leave Xiaojin Mansion to serve me for the rest of her life.

Daiyu, if you are short of someone, you can take her with you.When she was young, she was the big maid by my side. She was used to take care of the affairs inside and outside the house, and she knew how to deal with people and organize small banquets. "

Daiyu's eyes lit up: "That's great."

…………

The queen has always liked challenging things, so she couldn't help but put herself in the role of Daiyu: a young woman with no family background (although she has one, but she doesn't need it), living in a strange world, with only one beside her Very reliable little nymphomaniac brother.

It is known that there is a brother who loves beauty very much, a brother who likes to grow vegetables, a senior brother who plays with the country, and a master who almost doesn't care about everything.

In a 'country' with only a few tens of thousands of people, everyone used mana to build a mansion, and then cleaned it up by themselves.This is very laborious, but you can use spells to keep dust and fallen leaves from inside and outside the house, and they don't need to take a bath and change clothes-it is well documented that Yao Sanlang never asked anyone to help him prepare for a bath, and his There are eight eunuchs waiting for orders outside the Taoist temple at any time, but I have never been reported.Excluding him as a sloppy guy who doesn't like to take a bath, then he should have some special way to clean his body, unlike Zhinu who has to take a bath in the human world...or take a bath without being caught.

Who can Daiyu win over to form an alliance and hire people or buy a few servants together? There should be one.Could it be that among the more than forty people, none of them wants to live a life where they can stretch out their clothes to eat and open their mouths?

There will definitely be, but the only problem at present is that she doesn't know how her senior brother treats her. If he is careful enough, he should know that a young girl must have several maids to serve her.Perhaps as Daiyu said, he never had a junior sister, so he didn't know about such a thing.Perhaps petty.

No, there is another problem. Maybe she is embarrassed to say that she is delicate, and she is embarrassed to teach those Taoist priests who have always been poor to live a life of being served like ordinary people.She has always been thin-skinned, she must be embarrassed.The queen thought about it carefully, and felt that this matter still needs to be discussed in a long-term manner, at least... she must be taught to start from the perspective of her elder brother.

Since her eldest brother is in charge of everything there, and he has always advocated self-reliance, it may be because of his preferences or other intentions, so there should be no conflict.

The female officer came in and interrupted the queen's thoughts: "Your Majesty, the emperor has woken up and is looking for you."

The queen put down the book she hadn't read for a long time in her hand, got up and went over: "Has he delivered the meal?"

"It has been passed on. The emperor seems to be in a bad mood."

The queen thought that it would be strange if he was in a good mood.Entering the bedroom, I saw him sitting at the table in his pajamas, his waist-length hair hanging loose and too late to tie it up, while the maid was rubbing ink beside him.The queen walked over slowly, and saw that the emperor hadn't recovered from three steps away: "Erlang."

The emperor suddenly raised his head, the look in his eyes could only be described as 'indescribable': "Zitong, come here."

The queen moved lightly and walked to the side: "Write as soon as you wake up, don't hurt your god."

The emperor smiled: "I listen to you, I won't write any more." He put down his pen and stood up as he spoke, "Zitong, please write an imperial decree for me and draw up a title. There is a real Yuxian, I want to add a title." He doesn't know how to seal it."

The queen saw that there were two small words 'Yu Xian' written on the paper. The font was not the usual emperor's font, but a little bit iron-painted with silver hooks, showing strong resentment.Guessing in his heart, this person is probably Empress Mingde's new husband.Her face remained calm: "Erlang, who is this man, why did we seal him?"

The emperor was silent until he picked up the bowl and ate two small steamed buns: "True Yuxian is of high morality and will benefit all living beings." Then he continued to be embarrassed for a long time.

The queen said faintly: "Empty talk has no proof, have you seen him? How about making him a prince or county king?"

The emperor said embarrassingly: "I haven't seen him. It's quite appropriate to be crowned king of the county."

Queen: "You haven't met him, so how do you know he is of high morals?"

The emperor was silent for a long time, always thinking that his wife might know something: "I dreamed about him. I dreamed about a wedding banquet. Do you understand?"

Queen: "Understood. Try this shrimp dumpling, it tastes good." I didn't expect him to tell me.

After the meal, the emperor thoughtfully supervised the queen's drafting of the decree. She thought about it, and because she didn't feel any pain on her skin, she didn't feel any pain, so she wrote a beautiful imperial decree in one go.

Sitting with the emperor, teasing his son, drinking tea, watching his son pee his pants, chatting, watching his son breastfeed, playing cards, killing time until the afternoon.

The queen asked nonchalantly: "Do you think Daiyu is busy with her homework? I heard her talk about her homework. It covers so many things. The little girl's family is really pitiful. I thought she was going to cultivate immortals at ease, but her homework ended More than the new champion."

The emperor smiled slightly: "How could she spend decades studying hard?"

"In my opinion, she will have to study hard and practice martial arts in a few decades." The queen stroked the card without raising her head: "You see, I usually practice Taoism, but now it seems that Ye Gong likes dragons. If you want me If you are as busy as she is, give me a chance to be a fairy, so I won't do it. Now that everything is settled, I will grow old with you in the palace quietly, how wonderful it is."

The emperor's heart warmed up: "Yes. Everyone has their own destiny. You think studying is very hard, but Daiyu may not think so."

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly: "When did I feel that studying is hard? Don't bring such ugly words to me."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. The lady is very knowledgeable, and she is rich in learning."

"Hmph, that's okay, I'll spare you." The queen said again: "It's a pity we can't get in touch with Daiyu. I suddenly remembered that there was something I forgot to ask her to bring to Queen Mingde."

The emperor couldn't help but took the bait and asked, "What is it?"

"A few years ago, I embroidered a picture of a white crane, and it has been enshrined in front of the spirit tablet of the Taimiao. Erlang, you know my female celebrity, and it is not shameful to put it in the dowry, not to mention that I am the queen of a country. It is a pity to clean up I forgot about the dowry."

If it wasn't for testing your reaction to the incident of 'Daiyu's return', I can't remember it either.

"No hurry, she will definitely come back within half a year." The emperor smiled gently: "I always said that I would take her hunting, but there was no chance. If she comes back in summer, the three of us will go hunting."

The queen clapped her hands: "Okay!"

…………

"Ma'am, Miss, Qingque has come and is waiting outside the door."

Jia Min said, "Tell her to come in." Daiyu was playing with her folding fan and leaning against her mother's arms.

Qing Que is a young widow in her 20s, she looks much more haggard than when she was in the Lin Mansion, her face is a little yellow without makeup, her hair that was originally dark and oily has become dry, and she is wearing coarse clothes , Bow your head when you enter the door: "Qing Que greets Madam. Greetings Miss."

Jia Min couldn't bear it: "Get up. Qing Que, I plan to let you follow Miss to serve her. Maybe you have to leave your hometown, are you willing?"

Qing Que secretly raised her eyes to take a look, and the luxuriously dressed and stylish little princess was staring at her, her eyes were a bit unfriendly.She lowered her head and said, "The servant is willing. If the lady does not dislike it, the servant is willing to serve the lady for the rest of her life."

Daiyu stared at her for a while, then sat up straight and waved: "Come here, let me take a closer look."

Qing Que felt uneasy, and stepped forward with small steps.

Daiyu stretched out her hand and grasped her body. There seemed to be a cloud of black mist in her hand.

Jia Min was startled: "What is this?"

"Resentment." Daiyu muttered a few incantations in a low voice, then pulled the black mist fiercely, and threw the black mist to the ground: "Duh!"

There was a whirlwind in the room out of thin air, as if something was thrown out by her, and a figure appeared indistinctly.

Jia Min sat there very calmly, not moving at all, because her legs were weak from fright.He just hid behind Daiyu.

Qing Que called out in disbelief: "Mo'er?"

Jia Min was a little surprised: "Mo'er?"

Daiyu asked, "Who is that?"

Why did his resentment linger on Qing Que?

Jia Min was at a loss: "Mo'er is Qingque's husband, what's going on? Why is his resentment wrapped around Qingque?"

Qingque wanted to go forward but didn't dare, tremblingly: "You, haven't you buried yourself in peace?"

Guiying wept loudly and knelt down and kowtowed: "Shangxian is the master of the villain, the villain died unjustly."

The author has something to say: Fortunately, there was an update before I said two points.almost...
