The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 123 Villain Daiyu
"Sister Lin is back!"

Xichun ran out of the house and out of the courtyard, and happened to meet Youshi. She stepped forward and took Youshi's arm, and went with Youshi to pick up Daiyu at the door.

"Why are you still calling me Sister Lin? There are no rules. It's time to call me Second Sister-in-law." Youshi laughed.

It is really unexpected that Daiyu actually married Jia Cong.

Moreover, the marriage happened so suddenly. Jia Cong's letter was sent back quickly through the inn. After Youshi saw it, she was so shocked that she didn't recover for a long time.

I think back then, when Daiyu came, who didn't feel like a bright mirror? This was probably the wife the old lady chose for Baoyu.

At that time, the two were childhood sweethearts, and even though they had two or three fights every day, the adults also felt that the more they fight, the deeper their relationship becomes.

If something like that hadn't happened later, Mrs. Wang gradually gained power in Xifu, and she couldn't tolerate Daiyu and wanted to send Daiyu away. Daiyu would still be living in Xifu, and she wouldn't have the same relationship with Jia as she does today. Cong came out.

Things are different!

Xichun tilted her head with a smile, "Second sister-in-law is back. Our place is finally going to be lively. I wonder if we can bring over second sister and third sister to play?"

Youshi didn't say anything. Although she and Xichun had stayed at home for the past three years, she had also heard that the people in Xifu hated Jia Cong to death. The old lady was Daiyu's grandmother, and Daiyu and Jia Cong were married. It can't ease the relationship.

All the housekeepers in the family were caught, and another four and a half million taels of silver were paid out. They were also debited by the emperor. Now, although Xifu is acting more honestly, his hatred for Jia Cong is growing day by day.

Will the old lady and madam let Yingchun and Tanchun cross the threshold here?
Daiyu's sedan did not go through the corner gate this time, but entered the three animal-headed gates, passed through the courtyard, entered the rite gate, and landed at the entrance of the hall.

Daiyu came out of the sedan chair and saw Youshi and Xichun standing under the eaves of the corridor. On both sides were the remaining servants of the house, about a hundred of them. When Daiyu saw Daiyu, she knelt down to say hello.

"Get up!"

Daiyu is 11 years old. In the past three years, she has grown a lot taller and her body is not as weak as before. She is only a girl from Jiangnan. She is petite and exquisite. She wears a pink cloak with peach petals dotting the collar. , which makes her beautiful face look more delicate than flowers.

"Second sister-in-law, hello!" Xichun hurriedly got off the platform and ran to Daiyu. After bowing, he tilted his head and looked her up and down, "You are much better than before!"

"Sister Xichun!" Daiyu raised her hand and gently pinched Xichun's cheek, "You have grown taller too!"

Youshi came over and said with a smile, "You two sisters-in-law have grown taller. How did you get married over there? Can't we do it here?"

Daiyu's face turned red, and she followed the You family members as they walked in. She lifted up her skirt and crossed the threshold, "Sister-in-law, An! Third brother is going to Ningbo to fight against the Japanese and cannot send me back. It just so happens that Mr. Xiong It happened to be over there, so I obeyed the authority in urgent matters, so I bowed there."

"We'll talk about other things when he comes back!"

"Second uncle came back after writing a letter and asked me to clean up the main courtyard first. My younger siblings are back so they can move in first. My younger siblings are going to take a look first?" Youshi led Daiyu towards the Ning'an Hall of the main courtyard.

After passing the Neiyi Gate, there is an inner gate, which is Ning'an Hall.

There are three pavilions in the front, followed by the main hall and five halls. The deer-topped rooms on both sides are nestled in the mountain, extending in all directions, majestic and magnificent. In the main hall, when you look up, you will first see a large plaque of red gold, Kowloon and green ground, on which are written the three words of Douda. The big character is "Ning'an Hall".

It has been renovated and decorated inside, making it solemn yet luxurious, with elegance everywhere and the rich atmosphere of a century-old family.

Regarding where to live, Jia Cong had already told Daiyu before coming.

Over at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang did not live in Rongxi Hall, but in the three wing rooms to the east of the main room.Instead, the Hall of Rongxi was empty.

Logically speaking, Ning'an Hall should also be vacant on the Ning Guo Mansion side. Dai Yuyuan said that they could live in the original Jia Rong courtyard. If it was always going to be renovated, it would be better to renovate that side.

But Jia Cong refused, "The house is for living in, so what are you going to do if it's empty? Besides, since you, my matchmaker, are marrying, you don't live in the main hall, but live in a side room. What's that like?"

The person in Duke Rongguo's palace was Jia She, and the person in charge of the family was Jia Zheng. It was very awkward to begin with, so Jia Zheng and his wife couldn't live in Rongxi Hall openly, but Duke Ningguo's palace had no such scruples.

At this time, Daiyu ordered people to move the luggage in. She invited Youshi and Xichun to sit down on the big bed in the second room and talk.

"I brought gifts back. I don't have time to pack them up today. I'll have someone deliver them to you tomorrow." Daiyu's round face was filled with a smile.

"You have come all the way back, and you have been so tired of traveling and traveling all the way. How can you bring us gifts?"

If Jia Cong had not gotten married, the You family would have had the final say in the inner courtyard of the Ningguo Mansion. Now that Daiyu was in charge, the You family had to step aside, but there was no way around it.

"It's not such a valuable thing. It's just a little thought from my third brother and me. My sister-in-law and sister Xichun should not dislike it."

"I won't dislike it!"

Xichun first sat next to Youshi, then moved to sit next to Daiyu, holding Daiyu's arm and shaking her coquettishly, "Second sister-in-law, in addition to Xiaoxiao, you are also back in our house, can we find someone Time, please invite the second sister and the third sister over to play?"

It's the end of May, and it's getting hot.

Daiyu thought for a moment and said, "If the fourth sister misses the second sister and the third sister, just leave a message for them. I just came back, and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time for a while, so I won't delay the fourth sister's affairs. "

Daiyu's words were sincere and sincere, which did not make Xichun feel any discomfort. Her reasons were sufficient, but it made Xichun feel a little guilty, "I didn't think carefully."

"Sister, don't think like that. I miss my second sister and my third sister very much. We used to play together a lot. When I was in the south, I was thinking about you. Even though I just came back, I haven't figured out the rules at home yet. You don’t have any worries in this regard, it’s the same thing if you invite them.”

Youshi knew that Daiyu was worried about her relationship with Xifu. This girl was quite alert and put aside the fact that she was the granddaughter of the old lady. She stood on Jia Cong's side. .

Let's see what the outcome will be if Xichun invites her there. This is also a test. If the invitation is successful, it is just a naughty thing for the sisters. They are not allowed to come over there, and it does not harm their face.

It can be said that it can be advanced or retreated.

Xichun happily agreed and went back to make some preparations.

Seeing that Daiyu was really busy here, You couldn't stay long, so she stood up and left, "I'll have the cards and account books sent over in a moment."

"How could my sister-in-law be so anxious? She didn't say she loved me, and she didn't even give me a chance to breathe!" Daiyu said with a smile.

Youshi patted her hand gently, "I know you are capable, otherwise Brother Cong values ​​you so much. I just want to love you, but I don't want to see if I have this ability or what my identity is. ? The first three years were during the period of filial piety, and after that, I had to go out and about, and I can’t take your place!"

Both of them knew in their hearts that they were just talking. Daiyu sent her to the door and watched her come back after leaving the courtyard.

The only useful maid in Daiyu's house is Zicuckoo. Xueyan is young and can only run errands and deliver messages, which has never been of much use. Jia Cong's room is filled with Huaping and Sheyue. Although Qingwen is also waiting in the room, Monthly money has not increased.

Before coming back, Jia Cong gave all the maids in the room to Daiyu and asked her to bring them back. Now, there are three first-class maids in Daiyu's room, and Qingwen can only be considered a second-class maid.

Since the commotion on the boat, Jia Cong did not look good on Qingwen, and Qingwen was also very shameless. After that, Sheyue taught Qingwen a lot of lessons secretly, and Qingwen is now at peace. A lot.A few people quickly tidied up the five halls. The happiest person was Zicuckoo. The girl got better after she fell well.

It is obvious that a maid like her will be a married woman in the future, and she also likes such an exquisite person like the second master.

Besides, she is older than the girl. In the future, the girl will not be able to consummate her marriage until she has hair extensions, so she can serve the second master first.

In the evening, Baoyu came back from school. After eating in Rongqing Hall, he returned to his room.

After Daiyu left, he moved back to the Bisha cupboard. He would spend some time every day looking at the bed where Daiyu had slept in a daze. It was the same today again, as if he was stupid.

The attacker came in with clothes to change for him. After seeing him, he said, "Second Master is back. Let's change his clothes first and then go play with the sisters for a while. Then the third girl sent someone to ask if Second Master is back. I want to I have something to talk to the second master about!"

Baoyu felt a little happier now. He stood up and let Xiren help him change his clothes. He went out and played with the birds under the eaves for a while, and then went to Tanchun's house.

"Second brother, you're here!" Tan Chun came over to greet him.

"Xiren said you were looking for me, what's the matter?" Baoyu was busy with nothing. He was just a little too busy every day. He was asked to study, but he was too lazy to read. If there was something, he could mobilize it. His interest.

Tachun had nothing to do to find Baoyu, but he knew that Xiren was sending him to relax.Coincidentally, the woman at the second door came with a post in her hand, saying that it was sent by someone from Dongfu.

Tanchun opened it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a post from Xichunxia. On June [-]st, a banquet was held in Dongfu to enjoy the flowers, treat Tanchun and Yingchun, and invite her to come and get together early on that day. .

They were originally sisters from the same house who grew up together. In the past three years, one of them has been keeping mourning in the east house, and the two have been detained here in the backyard, unable to move. Tanchun was very happy when he received the post.

But the servant was very worried and said after careful consideration, "Girl, I wonder what the old lady and madam say?"

Baoyu didn't get the post and asked in confusion, "How come Sister Xichun knows how to hold a banquet? How old is she? She has become so capable now, especially Sister-in-law Zhen, right?"

Baoyu originally meant it as a joke. Xichun is only seven or eight years old this year. How can he hold a banquet to entertain people?
The woman who came to deliver the letter didn't think much about it and said with a smile, "Second Master Bao happened to guess wrong. I heard that Second Grandma Cong is back. Now in the East Mansion, Second Grandma Cong is in charge!"

"Second Grandma Cong?" Baoyu frowned without thinking of who it was for the moment. Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and the sweat on his forehead fell like beads, frightening everyone inside and outside.

"Brother Bao Er, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!"

Tanchun hurriedly pushed Baoyu, but the woman at the second door saw that she had caused a big disaster and did not dare to stay any longer, so she ran away quickly.

Fortunately, Tanchun's nanny was still calm and pinched Baoyu's man tightly before squeezing him awake.

"Send someone to ask if Sister Xichun has posted anything for me?" Baoyu's first sentence after waking up was to tell someone to go back and read it.

Tanchun asked the attendant to go, and soon came back and shook his head and said no.

"She must have prevented Sister Xichun from posting messages to me. Has she really stopped paying attention to me? What's wrong with me treating her badly?

When she came, wasn't it me who was joking with her?If she wants what I love, she will take it; if I hear that she also likes what I love, I will quickly put it away and wait for her to eat it.One table for eating and one bed for sleeping.

What the girls couldn't think of, I was afraid that she would be angry, so I thought of it for the girls.

I thought to myself: Sisters have been growing up since childhood, no matter how close they are or how warm they are, only when they are harmonious can they become better than others.Now, whoever expects her to be a big-hearted person actually refuses to think of me. I have missed her all these years in vain. "

When Tanchun saw that he had woken up, Hai breathed a sigh of relief and advised, "Brother Bao, it's better not to talk about this. How old was Sister Lin at that time? She was six or seven years old. Today is different from the past. She has already been with Cong San. My brother got married and left it to her to take care of Dongfu. Just look at how busy Sister Feng is throughout the day, which shows how busy she is."

"Why did she marry Jia Cong? She is obviously not old enough to get married yet. I asked the old lady to pick her up, but she didn't come back. What good is Jia Cong?" Baoyu only punched the table in hatred.

Tan Chunduo was speechless.

At first, something happened in the family. Without saying a word, I wanted to send Sister Lin back to the south. But I didn't send anyone to send her back. I only asked Brother Cong San to take her back. The two of them were in the same boat, and in that situation, one The mother was bereaved and the other was abandoned. Under the sympathy of each other, love naturally developed.

When they arrived in Yangzhou, Uncle Lin did not say anything about taking Sister Lin back, and it was Brother Cong San who took Sister Lin in. No one could not be moved by this kind of friendship. Sister Lin marrying Brother Cong San was really the best arrangement. .

The third brother was originally a lover.

Tanchun didn't dare to say these words to Baoyu.

“I never imagined that she could be such a cruel person.

Before a girl is married, she is a priceless jewel; once she is married, she will develop many bad problems.Originally, I said she was a good one, but now it seems that although it is a bead, it has no luster and color and is a dead bead. As she gets older, what has changed is not the bead, but the eyes of a fish.How can one person manifest three things? "

Baoyu was indescribably disappointed. The more he talked, the more confused he became. Tanchun stopped him and said, "Don't be sad. Wait until the first day of June. My second sister and I will go have a look. I can talk to you when I get back." , I can’t say, Sister Lin also brought you a gift, but due to the current relationship between the two governments, it is difficult to send it to us. "

"This is her fault again! No matter how bad the two houses are, what does it have to do with her? If she wants to interact with us, she only needs to interact with us. What does she care about the old lady and the madam? It's not that we don't Love to associate with her.

Besides, she is the granddaughter of the old lady. It’s not like the old lady doesn’t love her. Could it be that she has become a Jia Cong and will she become our villain? "

Daiyu divided the gifts one by one, and everyone in Xifu also had a share. Zijuan said from the side, "Girl, will the old lady and madam over there want it?"

The gifts were very simple. The old lady received two pieces of brocade, a sandalwood crutch, and a bamboo mat. Mrs. A specialty of the south.

The girls, Baoyu and Jia Huan each have a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Just send it over. This is my wish. Whether grandma wants it or not, that's their business." Daiyu said calmly.

The carriage passed by the three animal-headed gates of Rongguo Mansion, entered through the west corner gate, and arrived in front of the Chuihua Gate. Grandma Wang came forward and helped Daiyu get out of the carriage. A woman was already waiting at the door to greet her.

After entering the hanging flower door, there are corridors on both sides, and in the middle is the entrance hall, where there is a large red sandalwood framed marble screen.

Turning around the screen, there are three small halls. Behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back.

The five upper rooms on the front are all decorated with carved beams and painted beams. On both sides there are verandas and wing rooms with various parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging on them.On Taiji, there were several girls in red and green sitting. When they saw them coming, they all rushed to greet them with smiles and said, "The old lady was reading just now, but it happened to be here."

Three or four people scrambled to open the curtain cage, and someone who was listening replied, "Miss Lin is here."

Daiyu paused for a moment and looked deeply at the maid.

The maid saw the woman's hair tied up in a bun on the back of Daiyu's head, smiled coquettishly, stepped back, lowered her head and said, "Grandma Cong San!"
