The Third Sister of You's Family in the Red Chamber

After hearing this letter, Yao Shan originally wanted to ask the person who sent the message what was going on.When I called him in to have a look, I saw that this person belonged to Youfu's family, the most honest in the family.This aunt can't speak clearly when she sees people on weekdays. She is basically a "saw-mouthed gourd", and she is the most strict-mouthed.Yao Shan knew there was nothing going on at first glance, and when she finished the salute, she asked her a question patiently, but she did not say anything after holding back for a long time, she just said, "The wife at home said, the girl will know when she goes back." ".

Yao Shan had no choice but to teach Xiaotao to seal the seal and give her the reward money, then waved her off.But she thought to herself that her old lady was acting quite mysterious this time, she didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but now she felt a little strange.

But after a while, when Youshi came in person and said that he would go back with her, she became even more worried.What the hell is it? It's not worth calling her daughter, who is concentrating on being a candidate, to go back, but it's even alarming You Shi, a married aunt.

Thinking that there were only her carefree father You, who knew alchemy, Mrs. Yu, a small family woman, and her ignorant mother Yu, and Second Sister You, who was the most gentle and docile and had no scheming, at home, she felt a little worried. , don't something serious happen.

Under such speculation, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, even when You Shi took her to bid farewell to Mrs. Jia, she was a little absent-minded.Seeing it, Jia Mu couldn't help but smiled and comforted her: "You are always a smart child. It is a good thing to think more about everything, but if it is too much, it is not beautiful. Since the family only called people Come to send a message, it's okay if you think about it. Teach your sister to take you back to stay for two days, let's see what it is for. When you find out, send a message to our house. If there is anything that can be of use to us In the mansion, just ask your sister to come back. If there is nothing serious, just come back after a two-day stay."

Youshi agreed, and Yao Shan hurriedly saluted and thanked Jia's mother, and then went out with Youshi.Someone at Yimen had already set up the car, the two sisters got into the car hand in hand, Lamei and Xiaotao got into the other car, and went straight to Youfu.

Along the way, You Shi and Yao Shan chatted in low voices, but they couldn't guess what was the matter when the family asked them to go back at this time.Because I don't know the details, it is inevitable to think about some bad aspects. This kind of unknown anxiety is the most difficult, but the journey of more than an hour feels like it will never be finished.

After finally seeing the gate of You Mansion, Yao Shan felt that the atmosphere was not quite right before entering.She and Youshi looked at each other, and ordered the car to enter the door.

There are few people in Youfu, and the courtyard is not big, so there is only one main entrance, and there are only two courtyards inside. After passing through the Yizhongyi Gate, you will find the inner courtyard where the female relatives live.Because Mr. You rarely had any outside visitors, the place facing the Yimen diagonally was temporarily used as a study room for Mr. You to receive visitors. Anyway, it was not very useful.

But today, because Yao Shan didn't want to pay attention to the situation at home, she secretly peeked out from the car.I didn't expect to take a look, and I saw a few cars and horses parked next to the never-used study room. Looking at the style, it looks very rich and powerful, and it doesn't seem like people in Mr. You's circle can use it. of.What surprised her even more was that there were piles of well-packaged gadgets on the big carts behind, which seemed to be all kinds of gifts.Standing beside the cart were a few robust servants in black clothes, who looked like a group of bodyguards, making the housekeeper Youan and a few servants on the side like a group of weak chickens, extremely lonely.

Before finishing the thought, Grandma Ye, the dowry of Mrs. You, rushed out and said, "Are the eldest aunt and the third girl here? Come in quickly, the wife is waiting for you in the inner courtyard."

Youshi responded, and ordered the car to follow Madam Ye to the inner courtyard.Seeing that Madam Ye had a strange expression, Yao Shan became more and more curious about what happened at home, or rather, who came?

As soon as she entered the inner courtyard, she was startled again. It turned out that there were several small cars parked at the gate of the main courtyard where Mrs. Yu lived, and they were very elegant green-curtained cars, obviously used by the female relatives of wealthy families. Yes, it seems that there are not only male guests here, but also female family members. Is it the rhythm of a family visit?

But she had never heard of such a relative in the family. She glanced at Youshi, and when she saw her, she also looked puzzled, and she knew that there was probably no such relative in You's father's side, so it must be a foreigner. ?

Just as the two of them were thinking, Mrs. You's girl Jin Ju and the second sister's girl Ding Xiang had opened the curtain to welcome them out, and Ye Momo and a few wives helped Youshi and Yao Shan out of the car, followed by the crowd We entered the house together.

Before I went in, I heard a bright female voice laughing inside: "Hey, the eldest aunt and the third girl are here, it's a good time to see each other, the second girl is in front of you, these two must be stunning beauties .”

Yao Shan's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this, she thought to herself, is this Sister Feng's second son?Although I have never seen him and heard his voice first, I always feel that this compliment is a bit off-putting and not quite right.

She looked at You Shi, saw You Shi smiled at her, took her hands, and walked in together.When I entered the room, I saw that besides Mrs. You and Sister You, there was a large group of people in the room. Mrs. You was sitting next to her, a noble woman. Youshi looks like him, but his demeanor is more stable and mature than Mrs. You, which is also interesting.

Looking next to her, there are two girls sitting in sequence, and behind them are two slightly smaller boys, and the youngest child is hugged by the nurse, but it is not known whether it is a boy or a girl.There are five or six adults and children, plus nurses, maids, and mothers-in-law, thirty or forty people crowded in the main hall of Mrs. You, which actually filled the not-so-small hall to the brim.

As soon as Mrs. You saw the two of them, she got up and held their hands, saying happily, "You guys are here."

Seeing Yao Shan only looking at Mrs. You's expression, Mrs. You gently squeezed her hand, supported Mrs. You, and smiled at the woman who also hurriedly got up to greet her: "So there is a guest here today. , we were late.”

The woman smiled and said: "This is the eldest aunt? She is so dignified and beautiful, come and sit here." She looked at Yao Shan again, and her smile became brighter: "Oh, Miss San is a small person. Son, now that I’m so old, it’s cold outside, so I quickly changed my clothes to make a fire.”

Yao Shan looked at Mrs. You, who was already a little sluggish, sighed helplessly, and then said with a smile: "Since there are guests coming, why doesn't Mom introduce them, so that the elder sister can get to know me and meet me. "

Then Mrs. You suddenly said: "Look at me, I am confused because I am happy today." She immediately took the hands of You Shi and Yao Shan, pointed at the woman and said, "This is your eldest aunt." Pointing to those boys and girls, he said, "That's your cousin, cousins."

You Shi and Yao Shan looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, but both of them were used to keeping quiet, so they didn't ask any questions, just greeted them with a smile.

The woman smiled, raised her hand and gave two boxes of golden scorpions to Youshi and Yao Shan: "This is the first time I've come back, and I don't know what girls and aunts like, and I keep these things to reward people at will. Forget it. When our house is cleaned up, I will definitely invite the girls and aunts to have a good time."

Yin pointed to the group of children below and introduced: "This is your eldest sister Xing Wen, your second younger sister Luo Wen, your second younger brother, third younger brother Zhong Jin, and Shu Jin, and that is your younger brother Ji Jin. Your eldest brother Si Jin is at the front." The study will accompany your uncle to see your master."

Listening to the half-literate, half-white, classical and popular way of naming names, Yao Shan felt more and more interesting that the uncle's family who appeared suddenly was quite interesting, and then they saluted one by one.It turns out that the eldest girl Xingwen in their family is the same age as Yao Shan, but her birthday is younger, and the second girl Luo Wen is two years younger than Yao Shan.The second and third sons are four or five years younger than Yao Shan, and they are only seven or eight years old. They are actually twins, no wonder they look like they were carved out of the same mold.As for the eldest son, it is said that he is the same age as Second Sister You, and his birthday is only a few days older, even if he is not yet 15 years old, but he has already entered school.

Youshi and Yao Shan greeted each other with smiles, but they gradually had a plan in their hearts.Youshi's mother died early, and the family was also scattered, and there were no uncles in contact.Come to think of it, this eldest aunt is from Mrs. You's side.

Yao Shan thought about it for a long time during the ceremony, and finally remembered that Mrs. You mentioned to her a long time ago that there was no one in her grandmother's house. is live.Now it seems that this eldest aunt is from the family of the concubine uncle of Mrs. You's natal family.Then I contacted what the eldest aunt said just now, and the exaggerated carriages and horses outside. Presumably the eldest uncle is also here, and he is chatting with Father You in the study at the moment, right?

But looking at the scene, this uncle who has been away from home for many years is doing quite well now.It's just that it seems a little exaggerated to kill the only sister-in-law's house like this.Seeing such a situation, Yao Shan felt that she finally understood why Mrs. You hurriedly invited her back with her elder sister.Everyone came to show off their wealth. Although they couldn't figure out what the reason for their visit was, they couldn't lose in the crowd. Of course, with the married daughter of Ning Guogong's wife to support the scene, they could fight for money?

However, since it was her uncle who came to the door, why did her old mother make her feel like a formidable enemy? Could it be that she used to be at home, what kind of festival did she have with him?

Yao Shan quickly made up her mind about the family fights between her aunt and concubine, and she probably had a guess. Although she sighed in her heart that her temper and temperament were probably not very good when she was not out of the cabinet, but now she is also Only by helping her, take one step at a time.The so-called friendship should be solved rather than tied, let's see what the other party means before we talk about it.

Thinking of this, she automatically switched modes. In recent years, the prudent and dignified style of a small family girl has been integrated with the manly temperament of Dianzi when she was a child. Sometimes she is dignified and polite, and sometimes she makes jokes, trying her best to enliven the atmosphere.Seeing her like this, Youshi didn't know her plan, so of course he cooperated and supported unconditionally.

Therefore, with the efforts of the two sisters, within half an hour, the eldest aunt's family was made happy.The expressions of Mrs. You and Second Sister You also relaxed a lot. When it was time to eat lunch, they seemed to be quite happy.

Because they are not outsiders, so there is no distinction between men and women.At this time, Yao Shan finally met the legendary uncle, but he was a handsome middle-aged man. Although he didn't resemble Mrs. You at all, he didn't look like a person with any malicious intentions.Looking at Papa You's expression, I think they had a very happy conversation just now.

Seeing this situation, Yao Shan felt a little relieved, but because she didn't know the reason for their visit, she still felt uneasy.She followed Youshi and Second Sister to meet the middle-aged man, and then saw a handsome young man who looked like he walked out of a painting, turned around from behind the two of them, smiled, and bowed to everyone in a regular manner.
