The Rebirth of Jia Min in the Red Chamber

Chapter 129

Tu Xu studied in the palace, and knew that the palace was not a good place to go. It was inconvenient to get in and out of the palace, and it was difficult to see family members, especially relatives of the opposite sex. Even the queen couldn't often summon her brothers.

"Every time I go to the palace to study or pay respects to the queen, those people all look the same." Tu Xu sighed, with an expression that didn't match his age, "They all seem to be wearing masks."

His voice was muffled, "I don't want my sister to become like that."

Tu Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your sister won't, she is a unique girl in the world, she is different from other girls, otherwise the prince would not choose her as his wife."

"But my sister will still be tortured."

Tu Xu said in a low voice: "Everyone in the palace says that the queen is lenient, but when I look in front of the queen, not to mention the maids and eunuchs, even the court ladies or concubines in the palace are trembling in front of the queen, and dare not say anything." Tu Xu looked carefree, but inside he was very careful.

"Do you think that the queen will be like an ordinary mother-in-law, and the royal family will be like an ordinary family. If a mother-in-law doesn't like her daughter-in-law, she can resort to tricks?" Tu Yi asked.If it really got in the way of the queen, the queen would only resort to more ruthless means, if she didn't make a move, she would be bloody.

Tu Xu was still a little confused.

"If you have something you love, would you be willing to be taken away by someone else?" Tu Yi continued to ask.

"I will not be reconciled, but if there is no problem according to the rules and morals, I will be reconciled." Tu Xu replied.

Tu Yi chuckled lightly: "That's because you are a gentleman, but there are many villains in the world, and that kind of thing is extremely tempting. Throughout the ages, for it, benevolence, friendship, and humanity have been lost, father and son have turned against each other, and brothers have fought each other. .”

Tu Xu remained silent, he seemed to understand something.

"It's what I deserve. If others refuse to give it, I have to take it. If I take it, I have to be strong." Tu Yi said, he is far less gentle and modest than his appearance.

"If you want to protect what you want to protect, you must let others not underestimate you. As for how to do it, it's up to you to think about it." Tu Yi left such a sentence to Tu Xu before leaving.

Tu Yi left Tu Xu's courtyard, thought for a while, and then turned to Daiyu's courtyard.

Counting it, since he started to go to court to handle political affairs, he seldom set foot in Daiyu's courtyard.

Daiyu had already gone to the hairpin ring, and changed into homely clothes, her brows were calm, seeing Tu Yi approaching, she said with a smile: "Little brother, did you come out of Xiaoxu's yard?"

"I just watched him finish half a plate of snacks." Tu Yi didn't look as solemn as in front of Tu Xu, and his tone was very light.

"You really have to watch him, or in two or three years, others will grow upwards, but he will grow horizontally." Tu Xu joked.

"I don't know why he has such a good appetite." Daiyu sat on the kang by the window, resting her chin, "I still remember when I was a child, he was beaten for not paying attention to his studies, and he could still sob and write big characters while eating snacks. "

Daiyu thought of Tu Xu's appearance at that time, and smiled.

Tu Yi also remembered: "The paper was messed up with scum, and I wrote a new one, which time was it?"

Daiyu nodded: "As soon as you have something to eat, you forget your troubles. Sometimes Xiaoxu's temperament is really enviable."

Tu Yi sat down opposite her, took the tea handed by the girl, took a sip, and praised: "The tea is good, and the water is even better."

"It's just tea from the palace, and the water is just mountain spring water, and my little brother coaxed me again." Daiyu laughed.

"When it comes to Xixi's place, it's not normal."

Daiyu's eyebrows were curved, "I heard that the old gentleman's eyebrows are boiled with snow water from plum blossoms, which is more delicious, but I am lazy and don't want to do it." Learning to be a housekeeper and director, I have no leisure time to make tea and write poems.

"It's okay, if you want to taste it, let the girls collect some when it's winter." Tu Yi didn't care. Although he ate delicately, he didn't find fault with it.

Daiyu smiled but didn't answer, she had the same point of view as Tu Yi.

"I haven't asked in detail yet, why did little brother come back so early today?" Daiyu asked.

A few days ago, Tu Yi was very busy and didn't go home until the time of night ban, but today he was still able to talk to Princess Yu for a while.

"The matter at hand is over, so it's natural to be free." Tu Yi relaxed, with a sense of comfort in his brows and eyes.

Daiyu guessed a little bit, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, little brother."

Tu Yi put down his teacup, leaned forward a little, and asked, "Is your grandparent's family safe?" If someone else said that, he was afraid that he would be angry and slander his grandparent's family.

But compared to Rongguo Mansion, in Daiyu's heart, Tu Yi is closer, so she only feels that Tu Yi cares about herself.Of course, Tu Yi only asked because he was afraid that something would happen to Daiyu's grandparent's family and Daiyu would be hurt.

Daiyu shook her head: "There was almost an accident, but luckily my uncle's family is quite smart." The two of them were able to chat, so Daiyu told Tu Yi everything.

At the end, Daiyu said: "So I only know that my second aunt is confused, but I don't know that..." The upbringing is left there, and Daiyu can't say too much about her elders.

"Let's not talk about that, since the little brother is free, he should take the opportunity to have a good rest. These days are quite haggard."

Tu Yi stroked his chin and said, "I think it's okay, but others say I'm energetic." It turned out that Tu Yi was like a piece of warm and beautiful jade, but now it reveals a coldness and sharpness.

"Besides, you specifically asked the small kitchen to cook some supplements for me every day." Tu Yi laughed.

"After eating my tonic, do I have to pay back one or two." Daiyu was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, I thought you were the younger sister who cared about my elder brother, and didn't think about asking for a reward. Alas, I really misjudged you." Tu Yi pretended to sigh and shook his head.

Daiyu smiled and shook the handkerchief in her hand: "You're teasing me again."

"Okay, I'm going to take you guys out to play and have a look at the red leaves while Muxiu is here. It's going to be cold, so it's not easy to go out." Tu Yi promised.

Daiyu laughed when she heard this, she liked this matter very much in her heart, and the joy naturally came out from the bottom of her heart.

Tu Yi sighed inwardly, but was still reluctant to let Daiyu enter the palace.

"Can Nanny Gui be strict?" Tu Yi asked.

"Just nagging, if you do something wrong, she will keep nagging, earnestly. She has a mild temper, and if she is strict, she may have returned to the palace long ago." Daiyu's last sentence has no smile up.

Seeing that Daiyu has her own palace in her heart, Tu Yi feels sour and happy.Thinking about it, I still have to take advantage of the present to make Daiyu live a more comfortable life.

Daiyu asked the girl to bring the chessboard again, and had a hand-to-hand chat with Tu Yi. The two of them had no intention of winning, they just slowly passed the time and talked.

Not long after, when it was time to light the lamps, another girl from Princess Yu's courtyard came to invite the two of them to have a meal.

Daiyu felt a little bit reluctant, it was rare to have time to sit down and talk with Tu Yi, such scenes will only become less and less in the future.

On the second day, Jia Mu's birthday banquet was held for the royal family's honorable family. Tu Hai, Jia Min and Dai Yu went to the Rongguo Mansion. Tu Xu was grounded, and Tu Ling was still young.

When Jia Min passed by, the eunuch had just delivered the congratulatory gift from the palace.After arriving in Jia Mu's room, a large table was set up in the room with various rewards on it.Jia Min glanced at it, it was Jin Ruyi and brocade.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Min and Daiyu, and said with a smile, "Min'er and Yu'er are here, come quickly."

Daiyu stepped forward to salute, and before she finished her congratulatory speech, she was pulled to her side by Jia Mu, "Good boy, just come here, grandma doesn't like those red tapes."

Mrs. Xing whispered next to Jia Min, "The crown prince also gave me a congratulatory gift." Then Jia Min suddenly understood that although Jia's mother used to be affectionate with Daiyu, she was not as close as she is today.

Not long after, Concubine Nan'an, Princess Beijing and the Disciplinary Committee came here by order.

The concubine of Nan'an and the princess of Beijing are of the same rank as Jia Min, and they all sit on top of it. Jia Min's next step is Jia's mother's seat.

Wang Xifeng stood behind and looked at Jia Min and the others. Only then did she truly feel Jia Min's status. She remembered Daiyu in the backyard. In the future... she will be extremely honorable.

Just as Wang Xifeng was thinking, she heard Princess Nan'an ask: "I heard that Ling Ai is here today, why didn't you see her at the table?"

Jia Min replied with a smile: "She is shy when she sees others. I asked her to listen to an opera with her sisters in the backyard. Her sisters are bright and lively. I am also happy to talk to them."

Concubine Nan'an heard this: "It's better to ask someone to come here, and I'll take a look too." Concubine Nan'an wanted to see Daiyu, but was pushed back by Jia Min, so she proposed to meet some girls from Jia's mansion.

Jia Mu invited Wang Xifeng to come over and said, "Bring your three younger sisters and your sister Shi over here." Jia Mu took Shi Xiangyun to live here a few days ago.

Not long after, the four of them came over.

Jia Min watched with a smile on the side, Princess Nan'an held hands and praised and rewarded the beaded ring, feeling a little tired in her heart.The palace has already issued a decree, and the House of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the Clan House have begun to prepare for the Six Ceremonies. Concubine Nan'an still thinks of "summoning" with a superior attitude. If it is an ordinary lady, there is nothing wrong with it. In Daiyu's body, Daiyu's identity was compromised.

Tanchun was very excited. Mrs. Wang didn't take her out as a guest before, but later she was older. Mrs. Xing thought about her taking her out, but the opportunities were limited after all.This time, on Jia Mu's birthday, I have invited all the imperial orders, and I just took this opportunity to let these imperial orders meet her.

In all fairness, Tanchun stands out among the few people, Yingchun is gentle and docile, Xichun is still young, and Xiangyun's appearance is not as good as Tanchun.Some people began to think that the son-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't afford it, but the son-in-law and daughter-in-law could still afford it.

But Jia Min didn't want Tanchun to marry into these families. Those who came were from families who had good relations with the Rongguo Mansion. Although these people had a prominent family background, they were all old nobles and their days were declining.

Jia Lian's study of the Eight Classics of the Eighth Classics was tested, and the family Yingchun married was also a scholar-protecting family. Tanchun said that it was better to be a scholar.

Before the feast was over, Concubine Nan'an was about to leave. Mother Jia couldn't stay, so she sent out the second door and left in a sedan chair.

Seeing Jia Min, Princess Bei Jing felt a little uncomfortable, and thinking about the fight between his nephew and Tu Xu before, seeing Jia Min also felt a little guilty, after Princess Nan'an left, she also left without sitting for a long time.

When Tutuhai was about to leave, Jia Min also left.Mother Jia still wanted to keep Daiyu.Jia Min felt a little annoyed, "Mother, it's not convenient for Xixi to live outside."

After returning home, I couldn't help complaining to Tu Hai, "Mother is really capricious in handling things. She knows that Xixi can't stay, but she has to say it, which makes everyone unhappy."

Tu Hai said while changing his clothes: "Old people have such a temper."

Jia Min walked over and helped Tu Hai tidy up his clothes, and said: "Our mother and daughter just returned to the capital back then. She said she loved us, but how did she protect me?" Resentment.

"Okay, it's all in the past, it's all old things, and we can't keep holding on. Speaking of which, I'm also to blame for not making proper arrangements for you." Tu Hai comforted softly.

"You were outside at that time, and there was no reason to take care of things in Beijing." Jia Min never complained about Tu Hai.

Tu Hai also understood his wife's intentions, took her into his arms, and patted her on the shoulder.Jia Min leaned against him and whispered, "It's all because of that disaster."

Tu Hai also resented that Xibei bastard in his heart, doves took over the magpie's nest, and ruined the reputation of the Lin family, causing him and Daiyu to be biological father and daughter, but they couldn't recognize each other.

"It's good not to let Xixi change her surname at the beginning. She will leave her identity there in the future, and her surname is Lin. If the trouble is really outrageous, she can intervene." Jia Min said in a low voice, knowing that Tu Hai was still worried about the continuation of the Lin family's blood. , The Lin family has a great reputation.

"Let's talk about this later." Tu Hai said.

"You went over there today, and you don't have to go there tomorrow." Jia Min said.

Tu Hai said with a smile: "I made my temper to say angry words again. Tomorrow, Wang Ziteng will go, and besides..." He lowered his head and pressed Jia Min's ear, and said: "I am your husband, because of you I just went there."

After being an old couple for so many years, Jia Min's face still turned red when he teased her so much.

Tu Hai laughed out loud when he saw this.

His good mood lasted until the meal for Prince Yu and Princess Yu. Princess Yu felt a little strange when she saw the smile on his face. Popular, his face has always been serious.

But looking at Jia Min's expression again, Princess Yu also understood that maybe it was because of the matter between husband and wife.

After dinner, Prince Yu took Tu Hai and Tu Yi to the study, and Princess Yu left Jia Min to talk to Daiyu.

Princess Yu said without hesitation: "Listening to the rumors these days, the prince is about to start the six rituals, and our family has to prepare. Fortunately, only Xixi's dowry is a big deal, and you don't have to worry too much about it."

Tu Hai and Jia Min have been saving Daiyu's dowry, but they didn't expect Daiyu to become a crown princess. Some things can be used by ordinary dukes and princes, but they are not suitable for the palace.

For example, ordinary people can go to the other party's house to measure this furniture, but can they go to the East Palace to measure it?The furniture in the East Palace was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In fact, another problem is that the properties of Tu Yi and Tu Hai are separated. Dai Yu is not the real granddaughter of Prince Yu's Mansion, and Jia Min did not use the public property when purchasing the dowry.

"Xixi's dowry can't be reduced, I know your scruples, but..." Princess Yu looked at Daiyu with a gentle expression, "Xixi is my own granddaughter in my heart, so what's wrong with buying a dowry for my granddaughter?" Appropriate?"

Seeing that Daiyu's eyes turned red, although Princess Yu's words and deeds used to regard Daiyu as her granddaughter, Daiyu was still very moved when she heard this.

Princess Yu waved her hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, the prince and I still have some things here, you should add them together, draw up the dowry list and show it to me."

"My daughter-in-law really wants to ask my mother for help." Jia Min said, "My daughter-in-law wants to ask my mother to give me someone to help with the arrangement. You also know that Xixi was married into the palace after all, which is different from those outside, and she also has a lot of problems in her heart." No bottom."

"Okay, Nanny Chen is a female official in the palace. She served in the East Palace back then, let her go." The people Princess Yu pointed out were not always serving by Princess Yu's side.

"She has been in the palace for many years, and after the emperor ascended the throne, she came out to take care of herself when she was old." Princess Yu said again.

Both Jia Min and Daiyu understood that the nanny that Princess Yu gave her was very familiar with the temperament of the emperor and empress, and also familiar with some past events, and she was not eye-catching. Daiyu got in touch with her more, and her heart became more sympathetic.
