Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Mrs. Li and Mei Ting's mother and daughter haven't seen each other for two years. They stick together and talk from morning to night, even if it's late at night, they can't bear to sleep.

Mrs. Li now doesn't use the rules and regulations that Mei Ting used to have when she was at home anymore. She doesn't talk about her talents, her temperament, and only talks about her family's gossip and interesting things between relatives.

After talking about the marriage of relatives' children, Mrs. Li thought that Mei Ting was already in her prime, but she hadn't settled down yet.

She hesitated for a moment, took Mei Ting's hand, and asked: "Mei Ting, Wanyan has been out of the palace for ten years, you..."

Mei Ting leaned her head to Mrs. Li's pillow, and said with a smile, "I'm the second princess's companion, so naturally I want to accompany the second princess until the princess doesn't have to go to school."

"The princess is eight years old. If she doesn't have to go to school at the age of 15, there are still seven or eight years left. Mother don't have to worry about it too early."

Mrs. Li made a calculation in her mind, and sighed: "You were already 23 at that time, so it would be a bit late to look for it... Why don't mother ask you now?"

Mei Ting smiled nonchalantly: "What about 23? Getting married, having children, and serving your parents-in-law, can you be happier than reading and studying?"

Mrs. Li was taken aback for a moment, then sighed slowly: "Yes, yes..."

Mei Ting felt that Mrs. Li was in a low mood, leaned her head on Mrs. Li's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I am a sixth-rank female official, and I am accompanied by a princess. Even if I am 23 years old, is there anyone who would dare to dislike me for being old?"

"I used to think that when I entered the palace, I couldn't see my family and had to serve the princess. It's better to be a girl at home and get married and have children step by step when I'm old."

"Now I feel that I don't need to rely on my parents, my brother, or my husband's son. I just rely on myself and live a happier life."

Mrs. Li turned over and hugged Mei Ting.

The daughter's shoulders are thin and narrow, and she is still a little girl.But she can say such a thing, Mrs. Li knows that she can no longer treat her like a little girl.

Madam Li sighed, patted her daughter on the shoulder and said, "Sleep."

29 also flies by.On the [-]th day, Li Mingcheng and Pan Meizhen finally stopped writing articles and began to write couplets for the three small courtyards together.

Even though they are far apart, they are still relatives.On such a lively day of the Chinese New Year, Mei Ting did not have to shy away from it, and came to the main room with Mrs. Li.

Seeing her brother and cousin writing couplets, she read them word by word, and stopped her: "It's better to use the word 'na' here."

Pan Meizhen read the original sentence and the sentence with one word changed, and smiled at Mei Ting: "Sure enough, my sister is right."

After finishing speaking, he put the original couplet aside and wrote a new one.

Li Mingcheng watched with great interest, and brought all the pictures he wrote to Pan Meiting with a smile and asked: "Cousin thinks there is something wrong with these few pictures?"

Pan Meiting looked at Cousin Li, and inevitably remembered what her mother said the night before, and recalled Cousin Li's weird temper, and couldn't help smiling brightly at Li Mingcheng.

Li Mingcheng was shaken by Cousin Pan's shallow smile.

Then Cousin Pan started a discussion on the several couplets in his hand. Cousin Pan praised each couplet first, and then said what seemed to be debatable.

Some of Li Mingcheng thought it was reasonable, while others wanted to argue.

Pan Meizhen and Li Mingcheng were also used to discussing knowledge. The three of them talked about allusions from couplets, and then poems and articles. No one touched the red paper and pen and ink there.

Mrs. Li originally wanted to stop them from finishing the couplets, but when she saw Mei Ting's bright face, she swallowed what she wanted to say, smiled and let them talk about everything.

Unexpectedly, she has become a loving mother now.Mrs. Li was thinking silently while drinking tea.

Although there are no close relatives and friends around for the Chinese New Year this year, but there is no need to go to the palace to receive the banquet, and you can stay at home comfortably. Wen Jiao feels that it is happier than celebrating the New Year in Beijing.

Wen Jiao had already dealt with all kinds of things during the Chinese New Year, and the Spring Festival couplets had been pasted up two days ago.

After paying homage to ancestors and ancestors early in the morning, Wen Jiao and Lin Hai Daiyu Qingyu nestled in the house together, and the family enjoyed the rare leisure time of the year.

When they arrived at Zizheng, Daiyu and Qingyu made New Year's greetings on the ground, wishing their parents a safe and happy year and everything goes well.

Lin Hai and Wen Jiao held hands and smiled at each other, and gave each of the two children a big red envelope.

In the Pear Fragrance Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion (Note 1), Baochai also greeted Aunt Xue for a new year.

Aunt Xue hurriedly helped her daughter up, stuffed a big red envelope into her hand, took Baochai's hand and sighed, "Our Baochai is 15 years old this year, and he is really a big girl."

All mothers in the world have the same heart, hoping that the girl will marry a good family in this life, and her life will be rich and smooth.

If Baochai was still at home, Aunt Xue would have already started planning for her daughter.

But Baochai is now accompanied by Princess Huichun, who is praised by the seventh rank, and is a member of the royal family.

If the empress does not have a will, the family of the accompanying readers is not allowed to make a marriage first, and change the Geng Tie to match the horoscope.But the two families secretly agreed first, but they couldn't help it.

Moreover, Princess Huichun is the only daughter left behind by the first three princes. Regardless of the court situation, Princess Huichun's identity is firmly established there.

Aunt Xue counted Princess Huichun's age, and finally asked Baochai what she had been turning over in her mind for the past few days when she arrived home: "Bao'er, what is your plan?"

She didn't wait for Baochai to answer, and then said: "Bao'er has an idea in her heart, and Mom has always known it. Whether it's me, your brother, or the two of us together, it's not as good as Bao'er alone."

"But now that you are old, you should tell mom what you think in your heart, so that mom can have a bottom line."

Baochai's heart moved, so she didn't answer for now, but asked Aunt Xue with a smile, "Does Mom have an idea?"

Aunt Xue sighed with a smile: "I knew I couldn't hide it from Bao'er."

"Brother Bao from your aunt's house, do you remember?"

Baochai smiled, nodded, and asked Aunt Xue, "Did Auntie come to see Mommy? Let me tell you, why the old lady and Auntie seem to have something to do with me these two days."

Aunt Xue saw Baochai's expression and knew that Baochai was not very willing.

She sighed, patted Baochai's hand, and said, "It's not that mother's ears are soft, and she feels good after hearing a few words from him."

"I calculated the date, when Bao'er can leave the palace and get married, it will be eighteen or ninety twenty at the earliest. Children from all families in Beijing, at this age, how can there be any good ones left?"

"Your treasure brother is just two years younger than you. When you leave the palace, you will be preparing for your marriage."

"Let's hear from your aunt that Baoyu has made great progress in his studies in the past two years. After the new year, he will go to the Imperial Academy, and in a few years he will go to the Juren exam."

"I'm not saying that Baoyu didn't like reading when he was young, but when he got serious, he learned really well."

"Besides, the Jia family is our family's relatives, so they are more intimate, and they know the bottom line. Isn't it better than those outside who don't know the bottom line?

"Baoyu also often comes to my place to say hello. This kid is not picky about his behavior. He doesn't even talk harshly about servant girls. When you marry him, he will naturally love you even more."

After Baochai heard Aunt Xue finish this long speech, she only asked Aunt Xue speechless: "Didn't Mom say that I borrowed 20 silver from Aunt Xue to build a garden? Does the Jia family not have to pay back the 20 silver?"

Seeing that Aunt Xue didn't answer, she understood in her heart, stood up and sneered, "Auntie really has a good idea!"

"Ms. Lian Su is such a noble daughter, the queen's mother's sister, and the dowry is only 10 taels. She just took a son and wanted to exchange 20 silver from our family? Why didn't Brother Bao change his name to Bao Jinyin?"

"Mom also said that her ears are not soft, no matter how she behaves, she is still so... so confused!"

Aunt Xue pulled Baochai's hand anxiously and said, "Oh, I didn't promise her either. I didn't come to ask Bao'er first. It's New Year's Eve, it's hard to go home. Bao'er, don't be angry."

Baochai sat back on the kang, sighed and said, "It's not that I insist on being angry with my mother after the Chinese New Year, it's really..."

Aunt Xue hugged Baochai, shook her and said: "Mom just thinks, it doesn't matter if the money is not, as long as Bao'er lives comfortably in the future, the 20 silver is fine."

"Furthermore, Baoyu is the younger brother of Concubine Xian. In the future, if Concubine Xian gives birth to a son and a half daughter, Baoyu will also be admitted as a Jinshi and become an official. The old matriarch loves Baoyu so much. Isn't Bao'er the master of Jia's mansion? ?”

"I know that Bao'er has great ambitions, and a Rongguo Mansion is enough for Bao'er to display it."

Baochai knew that her mother was planning for her, and heard her mother coaxing her so softly. Thinking about this year, she was in the palace, her brother was in Sichuan, and her mother was only accompanied by relatives like the Jia family. The Jia family should be soft-hearted.

But what should be clarified is to tell my mother.

Leaning in Aunt Xue's arms, Baochai parted ways with Aunt Xue one by one: "Mom, although brother Bao is loved by the old lady and is the younger brother of the concubine Xian, Auntie is the second wife."

"The Jia family's title belongs to the elder, and in the future it will be passed on to Lian's second elder brother, or else it will be passed on to Brother Peng. None of the sons and grandchildren are present, and the title will be passed on to the nephew instead."

"Secondly, although the concubine Xian is favored, it is not difficult to have children in the future. It's just that the crown prince has been established, and the empress in the palace has two sons and a daughter, and the two noble concubines also have children."

"Even if the virtuous concubine gave birth to children, at most they would be the prince and princess. The prince also has relatives from the concubine's family, and the princess has relatives from the concubine's family. How much glory can an aunt have?"

"Even if the concubine Xian is favored again, can she still persuade the emperor to disregard the rules and etiquette and give Baoyu the title of Rongguo Mansion?"

"I'm already Princess Huichun's companion, and I have a connection with the royal family. And as Princess Huichun... I should not have anything to do with the emperor's princes and daughters."

After listening to Baochai's words, Aunt Xue felt that they were all reasonable, and seeing that Baochai really didn't want to, she gave up the idea of ​​marrying Jia's mansion.

She tentatively asked Baochai, "Since the Jia family can't do it, then mother will go and ask you about other children?"

Baochai took a deep breath, looked at Aunt Xue and said, "Mom, I don't plan to leave the palace to get married."

Aunt Xue turned pale with fright, her heart was in a mess, she asked with trembling lips, "Then Bao'er plans to go out with Princess Huichun? Or...or..."

The author has something to say:

Note 1: Now that Baochai is a female official in the palace, Aunt Xue also lent a large sum of money to Jia's house to build a garden, so Jia's house did not let Aunt Xue move the yard, but put the little opera singer in another yard.
