Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 304
Since Daiyu gave Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun advice, even sponsorship, naturally she would not leave Xichun behind, so she called Xichun again.

Xichun was originally painting in the living room, when she heard that Daiyu was looking for her, she rushed over without even changing her clothes, but as soon as she entered the room, she heard Shi Xiangyun chattering about the clothes Daiyu designed for her, and Tanchun's Clothes, at that time he was stunned and asked: "So?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Since you all call me elder sister, I can't favor one over the other. I have also thought about the appearance and ingredients for you. See if you like it."

Speaking of which, Daiyu pointed to Tanchun and said, "Actually, sister Xichun's material is very similar to sister Tanchun's, but the color is richer, and it is plain satin. We can embroider and fold branches of kapok on it, which is very good. Elegant and chic, what does Sister Xichun think?"

When Daiyu said this, Xichun also became interested, and even more aggressively smiled and said, "Since Sister Lin has thought about it for me, let's draw the flower pattern together." She said with longing in her eyes : "I haven't seen Sister Lin painting for a long time."

When Xichun said this, Daiyu became interested, so she and Xichun went to the Xuan room to paint. Before leaving, she asked Wang Xifeng to help Aunt Xue.Wang Xifeng naturally responded without mentioning it.

With the concerted efforts of all the people, on the 27th, Mrs. Jia saw that from Daiyu to Shi Xiangyun, from Tanchun to Xichun, all the new clothes and skirts were made of the materials she rewarded. It's the bright color I like, and it's so beautiful in my heart, even adding a few smile lines at the corners of my mouth and at the ends of my eyes.

Daiyu and the others came here today to have breakfast with Mrs. Jia and to bid farewell.It happened that Baoyu came to greet Daiyu, and Baoyu, who had not seen Daiyu for a long time, was once again amazed, but when he heard that they were all going to visit Daiyu's village, he smiled very heartily: "How about I'll go with you, and I'll have someone to take care of you on the way."

Mrs. Wang was extremely uncomfortable at the side, and she immediately turned dark when she heard what Baoyu said, but Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "Who wants you to take care of it? Sister Lin went there with a guard of honor! We, too, followed Enjoy the treatment of this county lord!"

Jia Baoyu was taken aback and said, "Why bother to mobilize everyone? I'll take a few servants to escort you there."

As soon as Jia Baoyu finished speaking, Mrs. Wang reprimanded in a low voice: "Baoyu won't go to school today? Be careful, I will beat you if I know!" Jia Baoyu heard Mrs. Wang say this, and just remembered that he had to go to school , shrank his neck, and said with some hesitation: "Is it okay for a day? I haven't asked for leave for quite a while."

Mrs. Jia heard Jia Baoyu say that she hadn't rested for several days, so she laughed and said, "I, Baoyu, is getting better now, so I should take a proper rest. Let's take a day off today. I must not be playful in the future."

Jia Baoyu immediately agreed, and since Mrs. Jia had already spoken, Mrs. Wang couldn't say anything more. Not only Daiyu, but also Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun frowned.Wang Xifeng sneered even more disdainfully.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu smiled and said: "Then it's settled, I'll go and order Mingyan to pack up and go with you."

But Daiyu laughed at this moment and said, "It's okay for Cousin Baoyu to go to my village to play, but today all the people who go to the house are girls. It's inconvenient for you to be a man. Why don't you invite Cousin Baoyu some other day?" Three or five friends are going together, and I will tell Lin De to greet them well."

Jia Baoyu was stunned by Daiyu's words again, but Shi Xiangyun said: "Sister Lin is very right, all the people who go to the girl's house today, what do you mean if you are a man?" "Let's play by yourself!" After speaking, she took Daiyu and walked out of the house. Wang Xifeng glanced at Mrs. Wang and followed without saying anything.

Daiyu Shi Xiangyun and Wang Xifeng have both left, so Xichun will naturally not stay here. Tanchun looked at Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia in embarrassment. He lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, and he had an idea in his heart, so he pulled Baoyu and said: " Second brother, come here, I have something to tell you."

When Jia Baoyu saw Tan Chun pull him to talk, he felt less embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk outside." Then he bowed to Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, and followed Tan Chun out of the room. .

When he came outside the house, Tanchun whispered in Jia Baoyu's ear, "If the second elder brother is free today, he should give advice to Huan'er too. After all, he is also the master's son, isn't he? Even if he is successful in the future, he will remember you well." After Tanchun finished speaking, he looked at Jia Baoyu sincerely.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu felt disapproving, but still reluctantly agreed: "Since the third sister begged me, I will not ignore him, and I will look for him later. Let's see how far he is now."

Naturally, Tanchun felt grateful for a while, and then chased him out with his servant Cuimo and two little maids.

Daiyu and her party were very grand and mighty because they had set up a guard of honor today, and naturally the news spread quickly. Even the palace knew that Daiyu had gone to Zhuangzi outside the city, and the queen even came into the palace to visit her. De Han smiled and said: "This girl, she only knows to go to the Zhuangzi to play by herself, and she doesn't know to come to the palace to see me."

But the queen didn't know that there were others who had the same thoughts as her.The fourth prince was sitting in the imperial garden, with a mouth full of Baihua Niang that he got from somewhere, and with a smile on his lips, he listened to the guards report about Daiyu and his party going out of the city.

The guard finished reporting, but the fourth prince didn't make a sound, he just played with the cup in his hand, couldn't see what it meant for a while, so he didn't dare to leave.

But the fourth prince secretly smiled in his heart: "If it's not just me, it's the same if I go to the mountain."Thinking of this, the fourth prince put down the cup in his hand, got up and ordered: "Go and get ready, my Highness will go out of the city to hunt in a while."

The guard didn't know why, but nodded his head and left.The fourth prince quickly assembled a group of people, all of whom were relatives and children of the Jingzhong Sect. There were not many of them, each with their guards, but they also went out of the city in a mighty manner.

After going to Zhuangzi to wash up, Daiyu was thinking about the fish in the spring pool on the top of the mountain, so she smiled at Wang Xifeng and the others: "I know a good place, I'm afraid I don't have time tomorrow, let's go together today."

Shi Xiangyun's restless nature couldn't stay idle. Hearing what Daiyu said, he hurriedly asked, "Where are you? Tell me quickly."

Daiyu didn't hide anything, she recounted the last time she went to the mountain to cook fish porridge, and then said with a smile: "How about it, do you want to go?"

Just hearing Daiyu's mention, Shi Xiangyun was already ready to move. Now that Daiyu described it like this, not to mention Shi Xiangyun, even Tanchun Xichun was also moved, and kept nodding.Seeing this, Daiyu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's get ready and send someone to invite Miaoyu to come over. Let's go together."

Xichun was even more happy when she heard that Miaoyu was invited together, "This is great, and it also has the taste of an outing. Speaking of which, I haven't been outside yet!"

Daiyu nodded her forehead and said: "That's right, no matter which yard you change from this garden, you still haven't left the high wall. Let's go quietly and recklessly today."

But Tanchun asked worriedly: "Is there going to be any trouble? Turning around, it's time for my wife to talk again." Hearing that Tanchun mentioned Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, who had been silent for a while, sneered and said, "The forest behind is also bought by Yuer. It’s a private place, so I can’t go anywhere? Just bring a few more nursing homes and follow. I’ll go with you too.”

Wang Xifeng's words were considered a final decision for this trip, and soon Daiyu sent someone to invite Miaoyu.Miaoyu was also very interested in hearing that he was going to have a picnic in the mountains.

This time I went to the mountains because they were all female relatives, so I drove two carriages. Lin De personally took five or six nurses to look after her, and Grandma Sun brought all the healthy servants from the village. follow along.

I thought it was a safe trip, but before I reached the foot of the mountain, I met a group of men in brocade clothes and rode over.

In the distance, the group of men rode out and ran towards the carriage that Daiyu and the others were riding in.Lin De hurried forward to stop him: "Where did you come from? I don't know that this is the Lin family's Zhuangzi. Are all the Lin family's properties around here?"

Before the brocade-clothed man could speak, a guard dressed up scolded him loudly: "You dog eyes! Is there any king in the world, where is the fourth prince going? Do I need to report to you?"

Hearing that it was the prince, Linde was taken aback for a moment, and hastily got off his horse to salute, "I don't know if His Highness is going to be far enough to welcome you and hope for forgiveness." After speaking, Linde paused and continued: "Now the county lord is bringing the Jia mansion with him. It is very inconvenient for my grandma to travel, and I hope His Highness will forgive me."

The Fourth Prince smiled and said, "It's okay, I just heard that Sister Yu'er came to the suburbs and came to look for her."

As soon as the fourth prince finished speaking, Lin De was stunned for a moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he dared not stop this prince, but how could his own girl come out to see the foreign man? "

Fortunately, the fourth prince didn't want to make things difficult for him, and he didn't mention the words of asking Daiyu to come out to meet him. After all, there were many clan children and even guards who came with him, and the fourth prince didn't want Daiyu in his heart When he came out, he just smiled and said, "I'll go to the carriage and talk to her before I leave." After speaking, he raised the rein and said, "Lead the way!"

Lin De had no choice but to lead the fourth prince to Daiyu's carriage.Grandma Sun saw the carriage stopped, and got out of the carriage to inquire, but she saw that Lin De had led a strange man over, and was about to reprimand her, but she heard Lin De pointing to Daiyu's carriageway: "The magistrate is in this carriage, so it's inconvenient to come out." See you again, and I hope His Highness the Fourth Prince will forgive you."

Hearing that it was the prince, Nanny Sun also gave her a meal, but the fourth prince didn't even look at her. He just drove to the carriage and raised his voice, "How is sister Yu'er? My mother and concubine are still waiting for you to be a guest." Well, Xiao Wu also misses you very much."

Daiyu didn't expect to meet the fourth prince during a simple outing, and seeing that he had never made things difficult for Lin De and the others, she couldn't say anything.Hearing his mention of Concubine Qi and Concubine Chengli, he couldn't help but reply with a headache: "Please, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, thank Concubine Qi for your concern. Yu'er has been busy with family affairs recently, so she will enter the palace to greet Concubine Qi in two days. Forgive me."

After hearing Daiyu's words, the fourth prince was satisfied, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, sister Yu'er just handle the family affairs with peace of mind, and I will help you with the concubine mother and Xiaowu." Waiting for Daiyu to reply, she smiled at the carriage and said, "In this case, I will take my leave first, sister Yu'er, don't forget the agreement with my mother and concubine."

After the fourth prince finished speaking, he rode away, but Wang Xifeng, who was in the car with Daiyu, looked at Daiyu curiously, seemed to have something to ask, but finally endured it.But they didn't know that Tanchun who was sitting in the carriage behind Daiyu had just quietly opened the curtains and looked at the fourth prince in the face, at this moment he was looking at the back of the fourth prince with blushing cheeks.
