Jia Mansion. Time passes like water, never look back. In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Concubine Yuanchun officially entered the palace, and the whole Jia family became more and more lively.
In the middle courtyard, Granny Chen once again confirmed that the imperial concubine was familiar with the etiquette and rules of the palace, and then went out to drink tea and talk with the maids.
After a while, she personally arranged everyone's work one by one, and asked the maids to check again to see if all the utensils were in good condition.
After everyone left, Taohong, the personal maid, looked to the left and right to make sure there was no one before she said confusedly: "Auntie, we have collected fifty thousand taels of silver to ensure that the Holy Lord will visit Concubine Jia. I always feel a little scared about this. The Holy Lord and Mr. Chen You are so capable, why do you care about this little money? If we are discovered, will we..." There are some words that she did not say and did not dare to say, but in the palace, death is really a common thing. .
Granny Chen smiled, raised her finger and pointed at her head: "Taohong, let me teach you one more thing today. Sometimes making money doesn't have to rely on skill, but also on brains."
"Brain?" The palace maid was confused.
"Yes, do you know how many years I have been in the palace? Thirty winters and summers! Over the years, I have seen too many things. Some dignitaries, princes and princes, don't look at them. We are lonely, but if we really want to annoy them, they still have many ways to deal with us. So, if you want to collect their money, you must make sure that you can accomplish their tasks. And our Holy Lord, heroic and majestic, dedicated to the people, has never been good. Womanizer, why do you think he suddenly made this Yuanchun girl his concubine? Since he has made him a concubine, no matter why, he will definitely do good things to the end, and everything will come naturally in one step," Granny Chen said with a proud smile.
Most of the money these people make is actually due to poor information. What she knew was that the eunuchs or attendants in the palace knew in advance that the person was going to be promoted, so they found the promoted person in advance and said that they had connections.
Wouldn’t it be easy to get money later? In this world, having connections and information is often easier than having the ability to make money.
The palace maid was thoughtful, and then suddenly realized: "I understand, aunt, it turns out that you are acting so respectfully to that Miss Lin, so that you can legitimately ask for money. It's high, it's really high!" Granny Chen rolled her eyes at her.
If she didn't have no choice, she really didn't want to bring this niece to the palace again. So stupid!
"Do you think it is necessary for me to bow down to a little girl for such a small amount of money? I have ignored all your instructions before, right?" The palace maid was stunned: "I treat Miss Lin the same as I treat you? Auntie, are you kidding me? , she is a little county head, why?" She usually serves princesses and princesses!
Granny Chen shook her head: "What do you know? Although County Lord Lin is usually soft and weak, according to Jin Wuwei's intelligence, he can carry a cauldron and his methods are bloody! And there is also a nickname in the world: Bloody Hand Massacre ! There are no less than dozens of lives on her body!" The palace maid's face turned pale, and compared to the polite, soft and gentle little girl she usually saw, she couldn't believe it.
"Auntie, didn't you lie to me?"
"Ha!" It took the palace maid a while to recover, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she is not like other palace maids. Whenever she leaves the palace, she raises her neck to the sky and looks down on everyone.
Moreover, she suddenly remembered that her aunt seemed to have strong martial arts skills and had saved the Supreme Emperor back then, otherwise she would not have such a stable position in the palace.
"Auntie, who has a higher chance of winning between you and that Miss Lin?" Granny Chen was stunned, hesitated for a breath, and said with a smile: "Let's go with three or seven." The palace maid was pleasantly surprised: "Auntie, you are so powerful, with seven Chances of winning?"
"Haha, she punched three times, and I hit seven!" Palace Maid: ...Chen Zheng, the main entrance of Jia Mansion is wide open, bustling with activity.
Members of the Jia family, whether from the city or the outer suburbs, came to watch the excitement. From now on, everyone will be relatives of the emperor!
Lin Daiyu obediently stood at the main entrance with Jia Mu to greet the envoy. Although she didn't like most of the people in the Jia family, they were her mother's maternal clan and had brought her a lot of joy.
If they are unhappy, my mother knows that she will be unhappy too. So today, after Lin Daiyu served Hao Lele and her brother after dinner, she came early in the morning to make a scene for the Jia family as per her grandmother's request.
After a while, Manager Chen came over on a tall horse and led a group of horseback servants. Seeing Lin Daiyu, Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment and dismounted directly. Unlike other families, he had to show off his dignity before dismounting.
"Lord Lin, how long have you been standing here? Are you tired?"
"Uncle Chen, you're not tired. I'm here to see Sister Yuanchun off." Lin Daiyu said seriously.
"Haha!" After touching the little girl's head, Manager Chen nodded to Mrs. Jia and shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come. Please invite the virtuous noble concubine to enter the palace!"
"Please, virtuous noble concubine, enter the palace!"
"Please..." shouted one after another from outside to the inner courtyard. Various tedious ceremonies followed, and Yuanchun was carried out in a sedan chair. Firecrackers, gongs and drums sounded, and everyone cheered.
After going out, Jia Mu and others wanted to follow, but were stopped by the chamberlain. Manager Chen pondered for a while and said: "County Master Lin, you are the princess's companion and you are eligible to enter the palace at any time. There is no need to send others away!" Jia Mu and others quickly looked at Lin Daiyu again.
It is best to have someone accompany you when entering the palace for the first time. One is afraid that your daughter will be wronged, and the other is of course to see the specific treatment.
This was the first time for Lin Daiyu to enter the palace. She was a little scared after hearing about the scene in the palace, but for the sake of her grandmother and Sister Yuanchun, she still nodded solemnly.
"I go!"
"Oh, Lord Lin, if the Holy Emperor knew you were entering the palace, he would be happy. Let's go!" Manager Chen's face turned into a smile.
This time, when the Holy One sees Miss Lin's gentleness and elegance, he will definitely match her with a crown prince!
"Then how do I get there? Riding a horse?" Lin Daiyu was troubled. She couldn't sit in Sister Yuanchun's sedan.
Manager Chen waved his hand, and a clever chamberlain pulled the horse over.
"Lord Lin, can you ride a horse? If not, I will take you with me." Lin Daiyu was stunned. She had ridden a cat before. Is it the same as riding a horse?
The tall war horse has been specially trained. It usually only listens to its master's words and cannot be ridden by idlers. Manager Chen is a little embarrassed.
Who knew that the horse was pulled in front of Lin Daiyu, blinked, and knelt down directly. Lin Daiyu was overjoyed and climbed up quickly.
It's really like riding a cat. The horse stood up, flicked its tail, and slowly followed the large group step by step without even trembling.
Everyone in the Jia family was stunned for a moment, and then sighed in their hearts. Look, this is indeed a palace horse. Seeing that the little girl is cute and well-behaved, she also knows how to lean over. She is smart enough.
Manager Chen: ...Things seem a little wrong! Doesn't this horse always like to bully the weak?
Why are you so good today? Is there anything else I don't know about? After everyone left, Wang Xifeng looked at the tall and graceful figure on the horse and sighed: "This whole body is not like the granddaughter of our ancestors at all. She is actually the granddaughter of our direct relatives. I can't blame my ancestors for not forgetting it in their mouths and hearts every day." ." The other Mrs. Wang also praised her repeatedly. From her words and deeds to her behavior, from her appearance to her temper, there was nothing bad about Miss Lin.
Jia Mu was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. Xue Baochai, not far away, stood like a follower. She is also the princess's escort!
But why, she had to go to school every day to accompany her to school, and her family had to pay most of their wealth to get this opportunity.
In the palace, he was faced with many difficulties from the maids, even if he didn't give him money. The money the Xue family earned from becoming an imperial merchant again was only enough to subsidize their brother's expenses and their own expenses.
Moreover, when these people received money from the Xue family before, didn't they all say that Miss Lin was withdrawn, unruly, and not a good match?
What now? Even my mother could only stand at the back of the Jia family and apologize. Hum, wait, I, Xue Baochai, will one day impress you people!
I don’t want to prove how great I am, I just want to tell everyone that everything I lose can be gained by myself!
...A few days later, at night, Lin Mansion. In the dead of night, a dead monk suddenly appeared at the door. The monk looked up and down at the spacious mansion, thoughtfully.
Ever since he received the news that Lin Daiyu was here alone, he came every night and had been peeking around for half a month.
For half a month, his spiritual thoughts searched the sky and the earth, and the monk finally determined that there was nothing wrong with the entire Lin Mansion except for a little yellow cat who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day.
But there is only one abnormality about that cat: it can eat! In this way, no one in the Lin family could threaten his existence.
Then of course he can carry out his plan boldly: drag the soul of Fairy Jiangzhu into the illusion of Taixu, and inquire about the reality.
Entering the door, finding the bedroom, using Fengyue Baojian to take a photo, he pulled out the bewildered Fairy Jiangzhu, and then the monk turned around and left quickly.
The plan went surprisingly smoothly without any setbacks. The monk, who had been so quiet all this time, even showed joy on his face without realizing it.
It seems that she is still too cautious. Who else is her opponent in this world of mortals?
"Meow~" Lin Daiyu, who was sleeping soundly with Xueyan in her arms on the bed, suddenly felt that the tip of her nose was itchy.
"A sneeze~" A sneeze woke up, and the little girl noticed that Lele was tickling her with his tail.
Rubbing her eyes, Lin Daiyu said with sleepy eyes: "Lele, what are you doing? Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Meow~" Come on, have fun! The little girl was fascinated by the lake and climbed onto the back of the little yellow cat. Only then did she realize that she seemed to be the same as in the dream, a small one, but Lele's body covered the sky and the sun.
Walk with the help of a cat, and use the illusion to control the wind. One person and one cat flew rapidly between the sky and the earth. In a moment, they seemed to have passed through mountains, rivers, deserts, ice and snow.
After a long time, I arrived at a mysterious place with red balconies, white rocks, green trees and clear streams, with rare human traces and no flying dust.
Then Lin Daiyu was surprised to find that there was a little girl who looked exactly like her, standing there blankly.
While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard someone singing from behind the mountain, saying: "Dreams disperse with the clouds, flying flowers follow the water flow, and I send this message to all my children, why should I find leisure and sorrow." Before the song stopped, a woman came out from the other side, dancing like a bird. Seeing that she was an immortal girl, Yu hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and asked: "Where are you? Who are you?" The immortal girl smiled and said: "I live above the sky of hatred, in the sea of sorrow, and I release the spring mountain to send incense. The fairy girl in the cave is too illusory. She is responsible for the romantic debts in the world, and the women in charge of the world blame the male idiots. Because of the recent romantic injustices, they are lingering here. It was an opportunity to visit and inspect in the past to spread lovesickness. Now I suddenly meet you. , and it’s not accidental. This place is not far from my land, and there is nothing else. There is only a cup of fairy tea that I picked myself, a jar of wine that I brewed myself, several people practicing magic dance and singing, and twelve new fairy songs from "Dream of Red Mansions". Do you want to come with me?" When Daiyu heard about it, she forgot something and followed the fairy girl, walking slowly, and soon arrived at a strange place with a stone tablet across the way, writing a letter
"Taixu Illusion" has four big characters, with a couplet on both sides: when the false becomes true, the true is also false; where there is nothing, there is nothing.
After turning around the archway, there is a palace gate with four characters written horizontally on it, saying: "Nie Hai Qing Tian".
There is another couplet, which says in a big book: The earth is thick and the sky is high, it is worth lamenting the endless love in ancient and modern times; crazy men and women resenting women, pitiful romantic debts that are difficult to repay.
High in the sky, the real Lin Daiyu looked strange. Is there really such a strange place in this world, and why is my eyes so powerful that I can see everything clearly below?
Also, where is Lele? Knowing that Lele would not harm her, Lin Daiyu simply sat down cross-legged and looked at the scene below with relish.
Soon she also discovered that she seemed to be able to control the prosthetic body below. It seemed to be her second body when she moved it at will.
Then I saw the fake body followed the fairy girl into the second-story door, and to the side halls on both sides, there were plaques and couplets, which read: "Infatuation Department",
"Grudge Division",
"Chaocingsi",
"Night Resentment Division",
"Spring Feeling Division",
"Autumn Bei Division". Then to the back, you can see bead curtains and embroidered curtains, painted buildings with withered eaves, light shaking red doors and gold paving the floor, snow shining on the windows and jade palaces, the fragrance of fairy flowers, and the fragrance of exotic grasses.
The Jing Huan smiled and said, "Come out and greet the distinguished guests!" Before he could finish his words, he saw several more fairies walking out of the room. They were all wearing lotus sleeves and fluttering feathers, as beautiful as spring flowers and as charming as the autumn moon.
When they saw the fake body, they all smiled and started joking, obviously they knew each other well. But Lin Daiyu in the sky looked carefully, and it seemed that she had not seen anyone, which was very strange.
The girls chatted for a while and then entered the inner room. Daiyu smelled a faint fragrance in the sky and didn't know what it was burning, so she couldn't help but control her fake body and asked the fairy.
Jing Huan smiled and said: "This fragrance naturally does not exist in the mortal world, how do you know about it? This fragrance is made from the essence of the first-born flowers in the famous mountain resorts, combined with the oil of various precious forest pearl trees, and is called 'Qun Fang Marrow'." "Lin Daiyu heard it and smelled it again. For some reason, she felt faintly vomiting.
Everyone sat down and the little maid brought tea. Since Lin Daiyu came with Lele, she would not refuse anyone who came with delicious food. She controlled the fake body and drank it casually. It was fragrant and smelly, and it was very pure and beautiful.
Jing Huan said: "This tea comes from Qianxiang Cave in Fangchun Mountain, and is cooked with the dew on the fairy leaves. The name of this tea is 'Qianhong Yiku'." Nodding, the girl looked around the room, Yao Qin , tripods, ancient paintings, and new poems are all there. There is also a couplet hanging on the wall, which reads: The land is dim and beautiful, and there is no help in the sky.
After a while, a little maid came to set the table, chairs, and set out the wine and food. Lin Daiyu was not polite and drank a full glass. The wine was fragrant and sweet.
Jing Huan said: "This wine is made from the cores of hundreds of flowers, the juice of thousands of trees, the fermented grains of lin marrow, and the yeast of phoenix milk, so it is called 'Ten Thousand Beauties in the Same Cup.'" There were twelve more people in the drinking room. The dancer comes up and asks me what lyrics and music to perform.
Jing Huan casually said: "The new production of "Dream of Red Mansions" will be performed in twelve pieces." Before the dancers could respond, suddenly, the entire Taixu illusion shook violently, the sky and the earth were spinning, and there were even signs of fragmentation in the distant horizon.
Jing Huan's figure shook, and his whole body even appeared to be illusory, and then he was shocked: "No, Feng Yue Bao Jian!" After saying that, Jing Huan Fairy floated up and flew straight into the clouds.
The remaining fairies all looked frightened. They were just about to cast spells to fly up to the sky, and then they screamed and fell to the ground.
And the entire Taixu illusion also changed into something else after a burst of flickering. Lin Daiyu, who was sitting cross-legged in the sky, looked around and saw that there were dark and gloomy monster clouds in all directions.
And the fairyland on the ground shocked her even more. She saw only skeletons like ridges and bones like forests. Human hair became like felt pieces, and skin and flesh rotted into mud.
The sinews and bones are wrapped around the tree, and the dry parts are burnt and shiny like silver. The sea of blood is boundless and the stench is unpleasant. Those graceful and beautiful fairies just now also changed into different appearances, including tigers, wolves, deer, deer, diamonds, foxes and rabbits, and pythons and snakes.
The big python sprays mist, and the long snake spits strange wind. This is not a fairyland. If there are eighteen levels of hell in the world, maybe one of them here is really terrifying.
Lin Daiyu just glanced at him and was so frightened that she quickly raised her hands to cover her eyes, lowered her head, and buried her head deeply between her legs.
How much she wanted to have a quilt at this moment. As we all know, as long as you hide under the quilt, monsters and monsters are helpless and helpless.
"Meow~" Her shoulders sank, Lin Daiyu quickly looked up and saw her biggest support: Lele.
"Lele, what kind of place is this? It's so scary!" The girl held Lele in her arms and said nervously.
"Meow~" Lin Daiyu then discovered that the little yellow cat actually had a mirror in its mouth. Both sides of the mirror could reflect people, and the mirror handle was chiselled.
"Feng Yue Bao Jian"
"Four words." Lin Daiyu took the mirror and looked at it curiously, feeling greatly confused.
"Lele, did you steal something again?"
"Fairy Jiangzhu, put it down quickly, that mirror belongs to me!" The police fairy from before rushed over quickly and screamed.
Before she could finish her words, the precious mirror rose directly and merged into Lin Daiyu's sea of consciousness. The girl hurriedly closed her eyes, feeling that almost endless knowledge was poured into her soul in a moment.
Eternal changes, the reincarnation of heaven and earth, the end of the Dharma era, the migration of all living beings, everything seemed to be unfolding before her eyes.
Fortunately, there is a huge and majestic civet guarding her soul, otherwise so much knowledge and memories entering her soul at once may immediately turn her into a different person.
Maybe it was a long time, maybe it was a moment, Lin Daiyu opened her eyes again, and looked indifferently at the vigilant fairy in front of her who gradually became ferocious and terrifying.
The originally angry fairy was startled and said in surprise: "Jiangzhu?" Facing the two children who were once familiar with each other, Jing Huan felt that the children's holes seemed to reflect everything in the sky and the earth. His eyes were calm, but If you could look directly into all the secrets in her heart.
Taixu Illusion also restored to fairyland in an instant. At this moment, the life of this illusory world is all in the girl's mind.
Fairy Jing Huan's heart sank, how could it be so fast? Faced with the girl's indifferent expression, after hesitating for a moment, the fairy knelt down and kowtowed: "Greetings to the Master!" Lin Daiyu stood with her hands behind her hands and said calmly: "Pingshen!"...
