The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 17 New Years
"Brother, will the baby be cold? Yu'er put the clothes on for her." Daiyu asked.

Yinzhen shook his head and said, "The baby is a snowman, and the snowman won't be cold. Only Yu'er will be cold. You can't put clothes on him."

Snowflakes fell on the two of them, and Yinzhen carefully put on the hat on the cloak for Daiyu.Daiyu thought for a while and then asked, "Is my brother cold?" Yinzhen smiled lightly and said, "My brother is not cold either." Daiyu frowned, grabbed Yinzhen's hand and said, "My brother's hand is cold, let's go inside Go inside." Pulling Yinzhen was about to walk into the house.Yinzhen was puzzled and said, "Yu'er doesn't want to play?" He knew that since he got up in the morning and saw the snow all over the ground, Daiyu had been entangled with Jia Min for a long time, but it was a pity that he couldn't get her consent.Lin Ruhai and Jia Min resolutely forbid their daughter to go out to enjoy the snow.

"Don't play, brother is cold."

Yinzhen was dumb, but a smile couldn't stop appearing on his lips.Originally, his physique was cold, and no matter how much he covered him, he couldn't warm him up. The little girl thought that he was cold because he held his cold hand.Let Daiyu be dragged back to the study, where the charcoal fire had already been lit, and a gust of heat rushed towards her face, making Daiyu shiver uncontrollably.Yinzhen took off her cloak and handed it to Su Peisheng behind him.As if thinking of something, Daiyu waved Su Peisheng away mysteriously, took out a string of rosary beads from her purse and handed it to Yinzhen, "Brother, a gift. Happy New Year!"

Yinzhen was startled, looking at the rosary in his hand, but when he took a closer look, it was not his own string, but a string of longan bodhi.Can't help but ask: "How to give it to brother? Did the husband give it to Yu'er?"

Daiyu nodded, took out another string seriously, and said: "Daddy said it was given by my brother. Yu'er has two strings, give one to my brother. One for each person." After speaking, put her string back and tie it carefully, and put it on again. The longan bodhi in Yinzhen's hand was put into his purse, he nodded heavily and said, "Brother's is for Yu'er, and Yu'er's is for elder brother. One for each person. Take it well."

Yinzhen looked at her quietly, and said with a smile: "Yu'er gave my brother a New Year's gift, but my brother didn't give it to you."

Daiyu didn't know how to be polite, so she asked curiously, "Brother, do you want to give it to Yu'er?" Yinzhen thought for a while, and Su Peisheng said, "Bring the beads from the master's room." Hearing this, Su Peisheng's face changed slightly , but seeing Yinzhen's calm face, he responded and turned around and went out.

After a while, Su Peisheng walked in holding a small box with a simple appearance and presented it to Yinzhen respectfully.Yinzhen took it and handed it to Daiyu, saying: "It's not a fun thing, you can play with it."

Daiyu opened the box, and the small box was covered with black brocade cloth, completely different from the yellow used in the palace or the bright and bright colors used by ordinary people.Obviously not something in the palace.There was a purple pearl on the brocade cloth.At first glance, it is inconspicuous, but when you hold it in your hand and look closely, you can see the beads glow with a faint colorful light, and there is a faint hint of strange fragrance.If you look closely, there is also a very small blue character engraved on it.Daiyu stared blankly at the bead, the Lin family is not only a family of bells and tripods but also a family of scholars, and there are countless treasures that she has seen since she was a child.Although I don't know the origin of this thing, I also know that it is not a mortal thing.A red silk thread passed through the bead, and a very beautiful butterfly-shaped net was made on it, with tassels hanging from the bottom. It seemed that the bead was even more inconspicuous.

Yinzhen asked with a smile: "Why? Yu'er doesn't like it?"

Daiyu hurriedly put the things behind her back, as if she was afraid that Yinzhen would regret taking half of it back, "Who said that? Yu'er likes it the most!"

Yinzhen leaned down, took the things in her hand and carefully tied them next to the purse, and said, "As long as you like it." Daiyu held the beads in her hands, and looked up at Yinzhen, "Is this bead something very important to my brother?" "Although she is small, it doesn't mean that she can't read people's faces, she can clearly see the surprised expression on Su Peisheng's face when he heard what his brother said just now.Yinzhen shook his head and said lightly: "It's not something important, it's just for girls to play with. Brother doesn't need it." Daiyu nodded, and said seriously: "Yu'er will keep it well and won't lose it." Yinzhen Rubbed her head and didn't speak.

After sending Daiyu back to her room for an afternoon nap, Yinzhen took Su Peisheng back to the study.Seeing Su Peisheng's hesitant expression along the way, Yinzhen said, "If you have anything to say."

Su Peisheng hesitated and said, "Master gave that thing to Yugege..."

Yinzhen said: "So what if I give it?" Su Peisheng felt bitter in his heart, and it took him a long time to say: "It was left to the master by the empress, didn't it mean..." Others don't know that Su Peisheng was personally selected by Empress Xiaoyi to serve in the palace The fourth elder brother is the most loyal to follow the fourth elder brother since he was a child.Therefore, Empress Xiaoyi and the fourth elder brother will not hide many things from him.That bead seems inconspicuous, but it is the most cherished thing of Empress Xiaoyi, no one else wants it, and they can't even touch it.It wasn't until Empress Xiaoyi was seriously ill that she called Yinzhen to her, gave him the things, and told him that if there was a girl he really liked in the future, he would give it to her.Now that Yugege is only four years old, isn't it too early?What's more, everyone knows that Yugege will return to Jiangnan with Master Lin's family soon.I still don't know what year and month I will see you again.When Yugege reached the age of the draft, the fourth elder brother would have already passed the age of big marriage.

Yinzhen obviously also thought of the weak and sad appearance of Huang Erniang on the hospital bed, and was slightly lost in thought.Yinzhen always felt that her empress was different from other empresses. She never competed for favor in front of Huang Ama like other mothers and concubines, and put eye drops on others.Calm and detached, as if outside the world of mortals.Yinzhen knew that Huang'er Niang was unhappy, and she was saddened to see Huang'er Niang alone countless times since she was a child.In addition to forcing a happy face in front of himself, only when he saw the orb would he smile faintly for a moment.Others only see the infinite beauty of the imperial concubine being favored and in charge of the Six Palaces, but who can understand the misery during it?Sometimes Yinzhen would resent Huang Ama for insisting on forcing Huang Erniang into the palace to suffer, but sometimes he would be selfish and thankful that he had Huang Erniang by his side.

After a while, Yinzhen sneered lightly and said: "A woman I really like? Is there such a thing in the royal family?" He used to think that Huang Ama really liked the second brother's biological mother, Queen Renxiao, but Huang Ama He still disregarded the Queen's mother's wishes and let her enter the palace as a concubine. He thought that Huang Ama liked the Queen's mother, but in the end, Huang Ama fell in love with the Sangong Sixth Court without any hesitation.When he understood that it was the emperor's responsibility to share both the rain and the dew, he realized that the daughter of the Emperor Amalian Xinzheku should also take pity on him.Thinking of the biological mother of the eighth younger brother Yinhu whom he once liked very much, Yinzhen frowned slightly.It's not that he has any opinion on the origin of the eighth brother, but that he is a little puzzled by his Huang Ama's not picky eaters.Really, it's just a joke in the royal family.That being the case, Eniang's most beloved thing might as well be given to Yu'er, I believe that the queen's spirit in heaven will agree.
