King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 360 Daiyu is summoned
It was easy to hide it from Zhen Qin. After all, she wouldn't think too much.

The three of them talked in the room for a while, and then Zhu Jinghong and Zhen Qin sent Baochai back to Kunning Palace, and he himself stayed on.

With everything to be done arranged, Zhu Jinghong can naturally relax, and he is actually very interested in eating, drinking and having fun.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the tenth day of the first lunar month.

This day is relatively special. Under Zhu Jinghong's previous initiative, the queen decided to summon the women of the loyal ministers' family, and the time was set on this day.

As one of the women called, Daiyu received the notice two days in advance, and the entire Jia family also prepared for this matter.

Because of Jia Zhen's incident, the Jia family has been cast into a haze. Now that they encounter such a good thing, the Jia family will naturally pay more attention to it.

At this moment, Daiyu was sitting in front of the mirror, dressing up. In addition to a few serving girls beside her, there were two female officials sitting on the chairs behind her.

The task of these two people is to guide Daiyu through the entire process of entering the palace for an audience. The current style of grooming and clothing is determined by these two people.

The girls worked hard for half an hour to finish Daiyu's makeup and headdress, and then it was time to change clothes.

At this moment, outside the room, Mrs. Jia Mu and Wang were waiting, and soon they would send Daiyu into the palace in person.

"Madam Lin is smart, she will definitely be liked by the empress, and I'm afraid her benefits will be indispensable!"

Mother Jia liked to hear these words, so Mrs. Xing said in different ways, and she also had two brushes to please her mother-in-law.

Just listen to Jia Mu say: "If you can be valued by the Queen... then it will be her destiny!"

The old and young were chatting in low voices, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and harmonious. It was obvious that the whole family was in a good mood.

If there was anyone who was unhappy, it would undoubtedly be Mrs. Wang who was smiling.

There are two reasons for her displeasure. One is that Yuan Chun has become a princess, but she has not regained the power of housekeeper, and is still controlled by Mrs. Xing.

The second is that her younger sister sent someone to bring a letter yesterday, tactfully rejecting Mrs. Wang's idea of ​​marriage, which made her so-called "golden marriage" idea come to nothing.

As unhappy as she was, Jia Baoyu stayed in the house.

"I'm telling you, Mr. Lin, it's a great thing that Miss Lin was called. Why are you angry about this?"

When Xiren tried to persuade him, Baoyu, who was lying on the bed, was unwilling to listen at all and turned to the other side.

Seeing this, Qingwen, who came over with a hand stove, said, "You still don't understand this... The second master is afraid that Miss Lin will stay in the palace and never see her again!"

This sentence can be said to reveal the truth, but it also pierced Jia Baoyu's heart.

"No...Sister Lin can't enter the palace, she can't enter the palace!"

Baoyu jumped up from the bed and walked back and forth in the room, shouting at the same time.

"Second Master, don't yell..."

Several girls were so panicked that they stepped forward to stop Baoyu and stop him from going crazy.

Now that the people in the palace are here, if Baoyu's crazy words are listened to, he doesn't know how much trouble he will cause.

Seeing that no one understood her, Baoyu jumped angrily and said, "You don't even understand. This is all the fault of the Thirteenth Master. He has ulterior motives for Sister Lin..."

"He wants to separate me and Sister Lin, he is not a good person..."

Not to mention, Baoyu is very accurate on this point.

While everyone was making a fuss, shouts came from outside: "Why are you making a fuss again? You can't just calm down!"

The person who said this was Wang Xifeng, who needed to handle most of the affairs in the mansion. She just passed by Baoyu Courtyard and heard some noise, so she came in to see what was going on.

After entering the house, Wang Xifeng scolded Baoyu when he saw Baoyu walking back and forth and saying something: "How do you serve Baoyu? Why is it like this again?"

In Wang Xifeng's rage, no one dared to answer the question, so Xiren was a little bolder and stepped forward to report: "Second Grandma, please calm down, Baoyu is reluctant to let go of Miss Lin!" !”

After saying that, Wang Xifeng walked to the back room. At this moment, Baoyu was still noisy like a child. Anyway, he just didn't want Daiyu to leave.

"Baoyu... stop fooling around!"

"Your second brother is at home today. If he hears it, he will kick your intestines out!"

Now in this mansion, apart from Jia Zhen, Jia Lian can hold him down. As soon as Wang Xifeng said this, Baoyu quickly settled down.

"Sister Feng, it must be the Thirteenth Lord's intention for Sister Lin to enter the palace this time. He treats Sister Lin..."

Before Baoyu could finish speaking, Wang Xifeng immediately covered his mouth, for fear that he would say something he didn't know the importance of.

"You bastard, how can you say these nonsense, are you going to die?"

For fear that Baoyu would not know the seriousness of the matter, Wang Xifeng then reminded: "Didn't you see what happened to your brother Zhen now?"

Jia Zhen has been disabled, and now she can only lie on the bed, her desolate appearance made everyone in Jia's house very sad.

Originally named Crown Princess in Yuanchun, Wang Xifeng, like most of the Jia family, felt that they could walk sideways in Beijing, and Jia Zhen's incident could be regarded as a wake-up call for them.

A dignified third-rank mighty general, a first-class man personally conferred by the imperial court, was violently taken away from his home and beaten to death, which brought a great shock to everyone.

The culprit was just scolded a few times and slapped a few times.

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng warned again: "Be calm today, don't go anywhere, whatever you want to eat and play is up to you, don't make any more trouble!"

It has to be said that Wang Xifeng was really too nice to her uncle and cousin, she was coaxing her like a son.

Of course, only Wang Xifeng knew that Baoyu was Yuanchun's younger brother whether it was taken into consideration.

When she was finally comforted, Daiyu on the other side had finished dressing up. Under the guidance of the female officer, she got into the sedan chair and left the Jia Mansion, and was escorted to the imperial city by Jia Lian and Jia Rong.

Wang Xifeng deliberately kept this matter from Baoyu, and he didn't know that Daiyu had left until all the people in the palace had left.

Rushing to Jia's mother's room, Jia Baoyu asked with great concern: "Old ancestor...when will Sister Lin come back?"

Jia Mu put down her teacup and replied, "That's not certain..."

But seeing her little grandson's anxious look, Jia Mu smiled and said, "I'll be back in the afternoon. You don't have to worry too much!"

At this time, Tanchun interjected: "Old ancestor, I heard from my father two days ago that Uncle Lin submitted a petition to resign, but the Holy Father rejected it..."

"You're so good, why do you want to resign?"

He actually didn't know about this matter... Baoyu was secretly dumbfounded.

He immediately thought that if Uncle Lin resigned, Daiyu would probably be taken away. This was a result that he could not accept.

Only to hear Jia Mu reply: "It is said that his body is overwhelmed, but his position is indeed the case. What a high-spirited person at the beginning, now his body is almost collapsed..."

Tanchun continued: "Today the Queen summoned the daughter of the hero, and Sister Lin was also among them... It shows that the royal family is aware of Uncle Lin's difficulties!"

She has always been outstanding among sisters, but her words today still surprised Jia Mu.

You know, Tanchun is only twelve or thirteen years old now, and he can analyze these things in the court, which is no longer an ordinary excellence.

Looking at Tanchun, Jia Mu nodded in approval: "It's really valuable that you can understand this. It seems that your mother taught you well!"

Seeing Yingchun Xichun, Jia's mother warned: "You two...you should learn more from Tan girl, don't read dead books all day long!"
