Daiyu through the Red Mansions

Chapter 6 Concubine Yuan Concubine Confesses Tianlun

As mentioned last time, Daiyu got rid of the murderer who indirectly killed her mother and father in the river, but she was at a loss in her heart.

When I returned to Jia's mansion, except for Baoyu who was overjoyed, there was no old friend who came to visit and greet me. Naturally, my heart became more and more depressed.

But it is said that since Jia's mansion got the imperial decree to confer the title of Xiande concubine in Yuanchun, and to be allowed to visit relatives.The Rongning Second Mansion was so busy that they turned their backs on their backs, and finally built a garden for visiting relatives in October.

The garden stretches from the living water of Huifang Garden in Ningfu to the old garden of Lianrongfu, winding for three and a half miles. Bamboo trees, rocks, pavilions, railings, beautiful trees are verdant, exotic flowers are shining, and flying towers are inserted into the sky, all hidden in the mountains.

Jia Zheng detained Baoyu to discuss with everyone the titles of the various scenery in the garden. Baoyu quoted scriptures, and Jia Zheng was very happy, but he reprimanded Baoyu for being ignorant and saying, "Not good, not good."

Finally adopted Bao Yu's proposal.Jia Mu was also invited to enter the garden, and she was careful and well-decorated, and there was nothing wrong with it.So Jia Zhengfang chose a date to inscribe the book, and on the day the book was published, he played with Zhu's approval:
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year, on the day of Shangyuan, Enzhun Yuanfei visited her relatives.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival has come, and the fifth watch of this day has just passed. Since Jiamu and other nobles, they all wear heavy makeup according to their products.Everywhere in the garden, dragons are dancing in the tents, colorful phoenixes are flying in the curtains, gold and silver are shining brightly, jewels are competing for splendor, the incense of lilies is burning on the tripod, and the stamens of Changchun are inserted in the vases. It is quiet and no one is coughing.

A group of people waited until they were exhausted, and finally hoped for a pair of dragon banners and phoenix flags, pheasant feathers and Kui heads, and a gold burner burning royal incense, and then a golden umbrella with seven phoenixes and a crank came over, which was the crown robe and shoes.There are also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, rinsing bowls, dust whisks and so on.

After the teams passed by, eight eunuchs walked slowly behind them, carrying a noble and luxurious golden embroidered phoenix version.Jia Mu waited and knelt down by the roadside, and several eunuchs rushed past Zaofei to help Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.

The version was carried into the gate, and went east through the Yimen Gate, and in front of a courtyard, there was a eunuch holding Fu who knelt down and asked him to change clothes, so he carried him to the door, and the eunuchs dispersed, only Zhao Rong, Cai Concubine and others led Yuanchun Xiayu.I saw that all kinds of lanterns in the courtyard were blazing brightly, all tied with gauze and silk, very delicate.

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, the Taijun and the female relatives went up to the platform on the east steps and arranged their shifts. Zhao Rong said: "Excuse me." So he retired.

After the audience was over, Concubine Yuan changed clothes and went to Jia Mu's main room. She wanted to perform family etiquette but could not. She had tears in her eyes and supported Jia Mu with one hand and Mrs. Wang with the other. Just whimper and cry.

Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, the three sisters Ying, Tan and Xi were all around, weeping and saying nothing.For half a day, Concubine Yuan could not help laughing sadly. Mother Jia waited for Concubine Jia to return to her seat, and saw them one by one one by one, and she couldn't help crying.

Concubine Yuan asked: "Aunt Xue, Baochai, why didn't Daiyu disappear?" Mrs. Wang said, "The family members have no jobs and dare not enter without permission." " Concubine Yuan listened, and hurriedly asked. For a while, Aunt Xue waited to come in. She wanted to perform the national ceremony, but she was also ordered to avoid it. She went forward to say goodbye to the cold and warm.

Daiyu saw Yuan Chunming's yellow imperial concubine's clothes, elegant and luxurious.With a sigh in my heart, the glory is so glorious at this time, who knows that the fate has long been doomed.

"For 20 years, right and wrong have been debated, where durian flowers bloom to illuminate the palace. Three springs compete for the first spring scene, and tigers meet and return to their dreams." With a few light gossips, he retreated.

At that time, the imperial concubine Yuan went to the public again to enter the garden with the crowd, and ordered Baoyu to lead a tour around the place. Hearing that there were several places inscribed on it, she said with a smile: "The fruit has grown and benefited." The lights reflect each other, and the music is loud from time to time. It is impossible to describe the peaceful atmosphere, wealth and prosperity.

It can be said that it takes a lot of work to build a building with mountains and rivers in its arms.There are all kinds of scenery in the sky and on earth, so Daguan was given the name of this garden.In the end, he felt that it was too extravagant, and advised Jia Zheng: "Don't be too extravagant in the future, it is all too much."

Concubine Yuan was ordered not to stay for a long time to visit her relatives. The order of the heavenly family was so strict that she could not disobey her, but returned to the palace with tears.

In addition, because of the exhaustion of the two mansions of Rongning and Ningxia, everyone was really tired, and everyone was exhausted. They also cleaned up all the things that should be displayed in the garden for two or three days.

Concubine Yuan returned to the palace, and the next day she saw her driver to thank her, and played back about her return to the province. Longyan was very happy.He also issued internal money, colored satin, gold and silver, etc., to give to Jia Zheng and the staff of the pepper houses.

Concubine Yuan decreed that the Grand View Garden was vacant, so she ordered Baoyu and her sisters to choose a favorite place to move in. Baoyu was overjoyed, and since then she has been more and more lingering in the crowd.

But it is said that all the sisters in the Grand View Garden treat Baoyu with sincerity, but Xue Baochai is in a lively mind. .

Now that his father died early and his brother was unworthy, he had to support Xue's family with a weak body. Fortunately, he was talented and intelligent and took care of everything in order.

Baochai's mother, Aunt Xue, and Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, are direct sisters, and Baochai and Baoyu are cousin relatives.She herself is a peerless beauty, her face is like a silver basin, her eyes are like water apricots, her lips are red without spots, her eyebrows are green without draw, and she has a different charm than Lin Daiyu.

Baochai was originally a girl who went to Beijing to be drafted and lived in Jia's mansion temporarily.Because of her brother Xue Pan's life lawsuit, she lost her qualification for the draft, so she had to think otherwise.

Since entering the Grand View Garden, thinking of the honor and wealth of the concubine Yuan when she visited her relatives, I lamented in my heart.

Looking at Baoyu's character and thinking about his family's feelings, now Baoyu is the only good match for him, so he is concerned everywhere.Why is it that Baoyu only thinks of Daiyu in her heart, and Daiyu entered Jia's mansion many years earlier than her, and she and Baoyu are close relatives of her aunt's cousin, and they ate together and slept together since childhood.

But it is said that the Rong Mansion is now the housekeeper of Mrs. Wang's nephew, Wang Xifeng.Thinking that Baochai's birthday was coming soon, he went back to the old lady.

The old matriarch thought that Baochai was a stable and peaceful character, and with the concubine Yuan's relatives and family being cautious, she also wanted to have a good time.I paid 20 taels of silver and handed it over to Sister Yufeng to set up a few tables for a lively feast.

Sister Feng got the advice of the old lady, and set up a banquet, and set up a homely small stage, which made the opera troupe Kun and Yi sing lively.Aunt Xue, Shi Xiangyun, Baochai sat down with Baoyu and all the sisters of Jia's house, and amused the old lady by listening to plays.But Daiyu was not seen, and Baoyu came with him to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

But it is said that Daiyu burns incense and reads quietly in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, carefully sorting out some useful knowledge from her previous life, in case of emergencies.I can only hear the sound of babbling coming from afar. It is the music celebrating Baochai's birthday, which makes me feel unhappy.

So he ordered Zicuckoo to close the door and guard the outside, and no one was allowed to disturb him.Xueyan Qiuchan waited and lay down gently, turned to the inside and wept silently.

Snow geese and autumn cicadas can also hear the sound of music and music, and Baoyu is nowhere to be seen.Seeing that her daughter was unhappy and resentful, she said, "Girl, don't be sad, what's worth it, that Xue Baochai is only the daughter of an imperial merchant, and also a relative of her aunt's cousin.

Since the master passed away, the girl has become more and more mature, and the slaves dare to speak out.Xueyan, Xia He and I were all trained by the master since childhood, Xia He is good at medicine, slaves are in charge of intelligence, Xueyan is excellent in martial arts.

In the past few years, even though Xue Baochai had been friendly with the girl on the surface and sent some medicinal materials and treasures to the girl, he secretly poisoned her. If things go on like this, the girl will definitely be weak and sick, and die early. "

After hearing this, Daiyu turned around and asked in surprise, "Is this really true, sister Bao will really harm me?".

"Girl, this matter is absolutely true, and slaves would never dare to lie. Xue Baochai is duplicity, and now that she has lost her qualification for the draft, she has focused her attention on Baoyu.

I'm afraid thinking that the girl is her hindrance, so I poisoned and murdered the girl, the heart is so vicious at such a young age.Don't look at what she is, is she worthy of being compared with girls? " Qiu Chan said disdainfully.

"But what should I do? I have always regarded her as my sister."

Daiyu's two lives became one, and the more she felt that her temperament was like that of Daiyu in the Red Mansion, she was quite skeptical about Daiyu's early death in the Red Mansion.Now when I heard Qiu Chan say that it was caused by Baochai's poison, I couldn't help crying with grief and indignation.

"Miss, don't be sad. With Xia He by my side, the girl's body will definitely be fine. I just hope that the girl can look at it a little better, and she will be very happy. With a few servants around, no one can hurt the girl."

Seeing Daiyu weeping silently, Qiuchan felt resentful, and decided to teach Xue Baochai a lesson.
