Aunt Zhao's happy life

Just when Baoyu wanted to see Daiyu but couldn't, and Daiyu was dying of illness, the Beijing Palace sent envoys to ask about Baoyu's condition and asked Baoyu to go to Beijing Palace for a while.

Mrs. Wang said anxiously: "Baoyu is like this, let alone go to the palace, and he can't even get out of the gate. What should I do?"

Jia's mother said: "They didn't say they would go right away. The king of Beijing Jing and Baoyu have similar temperaments. It's unknown to find him for a chat. Let's wait until Baoyu is better!"

After getting married, two sages, Baochai and Xiren, advised and comforted her day and night. Ying'er was also a perceptive person. Baoyu learned from the pain and gradually got better.When Mrs. Wang mentioned the invitation of the King of Beijing, Baoyu said, "I also want to go to relax. I haven't gone to school these days, and I haven't gone anywhere. I'm bored!"

Mrs. Wang said: "When you arrive at the palace, you must not be in a daze. You would rather not speak than say something wrong. The palace is no match for ordinary people. If you are not careful, you will lose your head." Hoe Yao went out.

Seeing that Baoyu was not as sick and weak as the rumors said, King Beijing was very happy. He said with a smile, "I heard that you got married, but I didn't go there in person because you were too low-key. Why, how are you doing after marriage?" When I came, I was poked at the center, and I didn't know how to answer.King Beijing said again: "I heard that you married the daughter of Xue's family, so you can be regarded as a good family match, and you will get closer with each other!"

Baoyu sighed and said, "I shouldn't talk about these personal matters in front of the prince. Since the prince asked me, I have to tell the truth. I didn't marry the person I really admire. Is there anything good about it?"

King Bei Jing smiled and said: "Then who is the person you really admire? Could it be the concubine Xiaoxiang you mentioned before? I have seen the boudoir poems you brought out, and there is a concubine Xiaoxiang who is different."

Baoyu said: "My lord really has good eyesight! That's my aunt's daughter, surnamed Lin, from Gusu. She lost her mother when she was young and lived in my house. Later, her father passed away, so she never went back." King Beijing After thinking for a while: "Her father is Lin Ruhai, the former inspector of Yanyan, right?" Baoyu said, "Exactly."

King Bei Jing laughed and said: "A tiger father has no dog daughter. I saw her father was handsome, elegant and handsome that day, so I knew his children must be extraordinary. To tell you the truth, my wife once went to your house to celebrate the old lady's birthday. All the sisters in your family praised a thin and elegant girl to me after they came back, saying that she was a fairy descended from the earth, and I have never forgotten it. I remembered that you mentioned that there is a sister who is unique in heaven and earth, and it must be this one. .”

Seeing that Baoyu was a little puzzled, King Bei Jing said again: "I have also been fascinated by your sister for a long time, and I don't have any concubines in my family, so my wife wants to find an excellent woman as a partner for me. Now that you are married to someone else, your younger sister should have her own home."

Baoyu was stunned after hearing this: "This... I can't make the decision, it has to be arranged by the elders in the family."

King Bei Jing smiled and said: "Then I will send someone to the mansion to propose marriage in a few days. Don't worry, you have known me for so many years, and I will never treat your talented sister badly to her."

Baoyu seemed to have been struck by a dull thunder, and returned home in a daze. She didn't speak, didn't eat or drink, and rushed to find Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu.Mrs. Wang rushed to ask Baoyu why he was like this, Baoyu burst into tears: "Prince Beijing... he wants to marry Sister Lin!"

Baochai was also taken aback, and Mrs. Wang saw that this matter was no small matter, so she took Baoyu to Rongqingtang to present Jia Mu. Wang Xifeng, who was the most informed, also rushed over.

Mother Jia sighed and said, "Girl Lin is the daughter of Tanhua Lang, how could she be a concubine for others!"

Mrs. Wang said: "That being said, our family has declined to this point, can we still be so noble? What's more, he is a prince, even if he exceeds the etiquette, it is normal."

Mother Jia wept and said, "The King of Beijing Jing is a handsome character. If it is a shame to be a princess, how can a girl like us be a concubine? Even the prince's concubine, that is a lowly job!"

Mrs. Wang also wiped her tears: "What if the king of Beijing Jing has made up his mind? Besides, our Wang family is in decline, and the Xue family is also in a slump. After the empress died, our Jia family has no hope. Now we are spending more money every day." It's hard to get by because of the small income. If Miss Lin married the King of Beijing, maybe our family can survive."

Jia Mu said, "This brought me to the underground in the future, how can I tell Min'er!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Miss Lin is seriously ill. I heard that she almost died of breathlessness. She has only recovered a little in the past few days. If she is in such a body, it may be a problem to marry. She has always been high-spirited, so let her do it. The concubine will not follow her, and this is also difficult, why don't you go and find out, Baoyu?"

Baoyu said, "I can't!"

Jia Mu knew what Baoyu was thinking, and stroked Baoyu's head: "My good boy, you should also see her. Now that you are married, you don't have to avoid being like a stranger."

Baoyu wanted to see Daiyu so much that he was going crazy, so he nodded after hearing this: "I'll go and see how she is sick!"

When we got married, we moved out of Baoyu in Yihong Courtyard, and then into Grand View Garden. Everything seemed far away.The road to Xiaoxiang Pavilion used to be the one he was most familiar with, and he could do it with his eyes closed, but now it is full of lush grass and gloomy.

"Sister Lin!" Baoyu yelled and rushed into the house, Xueyan ran out like a ghost: "You are here?" Zijuan opened the curtain and spit: "What else are you here for?" Are you afraid that our girl will live in peace?"

Baoyu didn't say anything, and went straight into the room, only to see Daiyu closing her eyes and resting her mind. After hearing the voice, she opened her eyes, fixedly looked at Baoyu, and smiled slightly: "Baoyu, have you recovered from your illness?" Said: "I'm alright, is my sister alright?" Daiyu laughed and said, "I'm much better too!"

The two looked at each other silently, unable to hold back the tears.

Daiyu asked softly, "How is Sister Bao? When will she come to see me?" Baoyu said, "You know that, right? It might not be easy for her to come to see you now."

Daiyu said: "I hate you, but I still can't hate you. I only hate myself for my poor life. The second master will not have a chance to see me in the future. Do you have anything to say?"

Baoyu hesitated for a long time, and hesitated: "Sister, do you remember the King of Beijing?"

Daiyu said: "Remember, you once asked me for the bracelet he gave you, but I don't want it. And the bamboo hat he gave you, it's so beautiful." Baoyu said: "He is a famous virtuous king, young and promising. , gentle and elegant, unlike mediocre people like me."

Daiyu said, "What are you doing talking about it?"

Baoyu said: "The King of Beijing...he wants to propose marriage...to marry you..."

"What?" Hearing this, Daiyu coughed violently while lying on the edge of the bed, tears welling up: "No wonder I'm going to die without you in sight. Today is the first time I've come, so it's to give me good news !"

Baoyu saw that Daiyu's weak body was in such great pain again, he quickly bowed and said: "I was wrong, sister, don't be angry, just pretend I didn't say it. This is just the unilateral meaning of the King of Beijing, and our family hasn't agreed yet. !"

Daiyu pointed to Baoyu: "I have misidentified you all my life! Get out!"

Baoyu cried anxiously: "Sister, now I am at the mercy of them. I married Sister Bao out of nowhere when I was ill. My heart is also very painful. I wish I could dig out my heart for you to see! Good to rely on, even though my younger sister is unbearable to be a concubine, I really can't say it out loud, but King Beijing and Princess Wang are both honest and kind people, and they are both outstanding in writing..."

Daiyu didn't wait for him to finish, she shouted hysterically: "Zicuckoo, Xueyan, are you dead? Don't drive him away!"

Baoyu said: "Sister Lin, if you don't want to, I'll fight for it for you, don't blame me..."

Daiyu gritted her teeth and cried: "Baoyu, anyone can tell, why is it you? If you tell me this, won't your heart bleed? I have wasted ten years of hard work, you go, this life , I don’t even want to see you again!”

Baoyu didn't want to leave. Zijuan and Xueyan had already pushed the door away and closed the door tightly.Baoyu went out and turned her head every step, and heard Daiyu's crying and coughing from afar. He wished he could die immediately to show his will!

When he arrived in his room, Baoyu fell on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and began to cry.

Baochai and Xiren were about to persuade and ask, but Baoyu suddenly said, "I'm going to the old lady!"

A few people didn't stop her, Baoyu flew towards Rongqing hall, and when she saw Jia's mother, she knelt down on the ground: "Old lady, the matter has come to an end, it's okay if I say it! After so many years, no one in the Manchu House knows that I Are you a couple with Sister Lin? Why did you lie to me and trick me into marrying Sister Bao? My mother said it was my father's idea, and it was also what my mother meant when she was alive, but old lady, didn't you always love Sister Lin the most? She is now How are you doing?"

Jia Mu said: "It's a done deal. It's useless to talk more, but it's the King of Beijing Jing. I don't know if I should agree."

Baoyu knelt on the ground and cried: "Sister Lin is not someone who admires the rich and powerful, let alone a person who is humble and humble. Going to the palace to be a concubine will only harm her!"

Jia Mu said, "Let me think about it, get up!"

But in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu, who was sick with love, was very happy to see Baoyu, but unexpectedly, Baoyu said how good the King of Beijing is, and she is a good home for her.She never imagined that her infatuation for so many years, in Baoyu's heart, could be given to others at will, maybe it was the bargaining chip for the Jia family to turn around?

Crying till mid-afternoon, Daiyu fainted and was out of breath. Zijuan and Xueyan cried to death.In the evening, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief and only said that she was thirsty. Zijuan hurriedly took a small spoon and fed her a few mouthfuls of pear water. Daiyu opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, and suddenly took Zijuan's hand "I can't live anymore, sister, don't be sad for me in the future..." After panting for a long time, he said: "When I'm gone, at least ask them to send me back to Gusu, don't leave me in this foreign land as an orphan Soul ghost." Before he finished speaking, he was coughing and panting again, closing his eyes so that his face was purple and swollen, he breathed out more and took in less, he was in a hurry.
